BY ASHLEY MACKIN judge may have ruled that the City of San Diego is not responsible for the stench at La Jolla Cove, but when it comes to the burgeoning sea lion population there, and the myriad problems therein, attendees of the La Jolla Town Council “Crisis at the Cove” hearing, think the time has come for

the city to take action. At a standing-room-only forum at La Jolla Rec Center June 9, residents hungry for a solution turned out to hear from panelists and government officials about the situation and any available options to discourage sea lions from gathering at The Cove. Panelists included diver John Leek, National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Fisheries Special Agent Michelle Zetwo, La Jolla Cove Swim Club president Dan Simonelli, and La Jolla Parks & Beaches president Dan Allen. Although San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer did not attend, his Director of Outreach, John Lye, spoke briefly and took notes to report back. SEE SEA LIONS, A4

Shores finalizes details of new ‘Map’ at the beach BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN When oceanographer and local icon Walter Munk came to Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1939, he studied the depths of the ocean just off the shoreline in La Jolla Shores. One of the first papers he published researched the submarine canyons, referred to by Munk as “The Grand Canyons of La Jolla.” Now, Munk and his wife, Mary Coakley Munk, president of the Friends of La Jolla Shores (FOLJS), are willing to contribute $275,000 to rehabilitate The Map at Kellogg Park in the Shores, which is a visual representation of the sea life and underwater bathymetry there.

decomposed granite in its place. “Since the time we installed the Map, they have produced a product called Litho-Mosaic, which is individual pieces of tile that have color all the way through, so it’s most attractive. And even if a couple of pieces did come out, it’s tile so you replace those,” explained Coakley Munk, adding that the new Map would be made from this more resilient material. At its June 8 meeting, the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) passed a motion to approve the conceptual design that FOLJS agreed upon after negotiations with the city. The latest SEE MAP, A13

THE SHACK IS BACK!

San Diego lifeguards set up a post by the newly-rebuilt shack in WindanSea.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN he WindanSea Surf Shack has returned for its 70th year, after being removed in the winter by the landmark’s caretakers, Friends of WindanSea, who watched an El Niño storm collapse the structure. A group of volunteers built the new structure from donated eucalyptus trees. “The poles are bigger and the holes are bigger now,” said Melinda Merriweather, co-founder of Friends of WindanSea. She said they bought stainless steel hardware to make the structure sturdier. The roof has yet to be replaced with palm fronds and the Friends need donations of canary date palms, “Preferably when they are green,” Merryweather said. She added that The Shack was originally built by a surfer who wanted the shade for his wife and child, while he spent the day surfing the waves at WindanSea Beach. After the Christmas parade, the roof will be taken down to prevent the structure from collapsing again. To donate palm fronds, call (858) 454-5939.

This landmark with separate guest house offers a gracious welcome to all who approach the wooded Olde Muirlands neighborhood. Gorgeous English Country architecture by Don Edson, AIA, with steep roof pitches and pretty open beams offers sublime privacy and endless luxury; spectacular master suite occupies entire upper level. $4,480,000

FROM SEA LIONS, A1 Neither Council President Sherri Lightner nor a representative was on hand, but City Council District 1 candidate Barbara Bry attended. Calling it a “very recent” situation, Town Council president Ann Kerr Bache told the assemblage, “Sea lions have completely taken over The Cove, all the way up the stairs and past the lifeguard tower. There have been incidences where they have blocked tourists and gotten very aggressive. I’ve personally witnessed them (defecating) near the lifeguard tower. Now there are buses of tourists that are coming and taking ‘selfies’ with the sea lions,” she said. Because the Town Council serves as a “forum for the community” and acts as “a voice for La Jolla residents,” she said, “We’ve gathered to hear all sides and see what a solution might be for the Town Council to consider.” After brief introductions from the panelists, more than 20 people from the audience shared their thoughts. Their messages ranged from nostalgic anecdotes about swimming at The Cove to suggestions for what deterrent methods could be used to fend off the sea lions, to hopes that humans would leave the animals alone, and hypotheses as to why their population has grown, and more. Several questioned whether legal harassment methods outlined under Section 109h of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) could be implemented on a consistent basis to discourage the sea lions from congregating at The Cove. The section allows the city to assign or designate a

person or persons to carry out certain physical, audial or visual deterrents or harassment tactics without filing for permits or requiring permission from NOAA. Zetwo explained, “NOAA has said the (City of San Diego does) indeed have the ability to deal with animals that are overtaking beaches. In Dana Point for example, the city paid someone to be at docks (that were experiencing a growing pinniped population) seven days a week for a certain period of time to get the animals away. They used a variety of (MMPA permitted) deterrents, such as spraying them

with a water hose. Other permitted methods include physical barriers and exclusion devices such as fencing, bull rails, electric livestock fencing, visual repellants and noisemakers. So there are many things NOAA has recommended.” When asked whether a citizen could implement any of those measures, Zetwo said the way the law reads, a federal, state or local government official or such person designated would have to be the one. Faulting the city for not yet designating such a person, Simonelli said, “It’s amazing to me that this has become such a

bureaucratic issue. But this problem is not new, we’ve been dealing with this and watching the problem evolve … We’ve heard that we have the ability to deter the sea lions, but we’ve run into a snag as to who is authorized to do that. We’ve spoken to City Council members, but many said La Jolla was not in their jurisdiction, as if La Jolla Cove is only for La Jollans. It’s a citywide issue. We don’t need any fancy equipment, we just need a consistent plan to deter the sea lions and get them away. It’s just a matter of political will and city officials establishing a person assigned to do the job.”

did not exist when the study was contracted,” she said.

Demand for action

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Fisheries Special Agent Michelle Zetwo explains jurisdiction boundaries. Representing the Mayor, Lye said he would have to confer with the City Attorney’s office to gather more information about who could be designated. His answer was met with boos and hisses from the audience.

Radio silence from City Hall

Fueling the fire of frustration at the lack of response or action from local government officials, Kerr Bache said leading up to the forum, she reached out to the Mayor’s office and the Department of Park & Rec for an update. However, both offices said they were awaiting the results of an extensive “yearlong” study by marine consultant

An attendee holds her ‘People love the ocean, too’ sign. Doyle Hanan, of Hanan and Associates, Inc., whom the city contracted in February 2015 to study the situation. The city maintains it can not provide feedback until his report is submitted and evaluated. In April 2015, When La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group wrote to the City demanding action on the sea lion problem, the response was similar. “Our organization wrote a letter to the Department of Park & Rec and we used the same word used in this meeting: Crisis,” chair Allen said at the forum. “We made several suggestions, such as a gate on the stairs, cleaning the steps and the sand, and behavior modification. The

city responded to us in July and (dismissed our suggestions) citing limited staff and limited resources. We were also told the city was completing the (Doyle Hanan) study and would base any response on that.” City rep Lye responded that the report results could be expected “in the very new future,” and this answer also met with comments from the room. Citing the vague scope of “La Jolla Cove,” Kerr Bache asked if the study would evaluate sea lions behavior on the bluffs, the beach, the water, the rocks around the beach, or some combination. The answer was not known. “My worry is that a lot of these problems

Among the comments from the public, many called for citizens to write to elected officials and demand action. San Diego Council of Divers president Joel Tracey said, “Our position is that the City of San Diego has a responsibility to maintain beach access for humans. Misguided city policy has lead us to where we are now, with two beaches overrun by marine mammals (the other being Children’s Pool).” Added another speaker, “It’s about city officials getting together and agreeing to use every available mean to get rid of the sea lions … let your city officials know that the lack of action is causing us to lose the resource that is the jewel of La Jolla.” Swimmer Doug Burleigh opined, “If 100 wild pigs took up residence at Torrey Pines Golf Course and (defecated) all over it, what would the city do?” As the forum was taking place, a petition was circling asking Mayor Faulconer to “please remove the pollution (by sea lions) from the La Jolla Cove so we can swim.” By meeting’s end, the petition had 94 signatures. As for what’s next at the Town Council level, Kerr Bache said, “The next step is for us to digest what we’ve heard tonight and what the MMPA allows us to do, and what the role of Town Council might be in acting as a catalyst to get the stakeholders and decision-makers together. But we have to take action.” ■ More opinions about “Crisis at The Cove”: Read additional comments from forum attendees on page A30.

Coming: A Village Merchants survey to ID desired retail tenants BY ASHLEY MACKIN Tired of empty storefronts in La Jolla, the Economic Development Division of La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association (LJVMA) is refining its short-term and long-term goals to make the Village of La Jolla more marketable to prospective – and desired – retail tenants. To help in the process, a survey for locals will roll out next month. “We’re going to launch the survey at the Farmers Market and through our businesses, and look at national data as to what kinds of businesses would thrive in areas similar to ours,” said team leader and LJVMA trustee Elsie Arrendondo. With a short-term goal of filling empty storefronts, and a long-term goal of creating a marketing package based on local wants and national data, she added the team has been active for over a year. As reported in La Jolla Light in February 2015, Arredondo sent out a three-question survey to 2,482 La Jolla and greater San Diego residents and visitors. The survey found the No. 1 reason respondents came to La Jolla was its restaurants, followed by shopping and then business in the area. Inquiring as to the types of businesses needed in the Village, including specific branded companies, other questions yielded narrative answers. The open-ended queries showed a demand for both cost-effective and upscale options in dining, shopping and furniture, and organic markets. “Now we are drilling the results down,” she said. “We’re taking what we learned from that survey, which included tourists, and making it strictly local and more specific

businesses we could really use instead of it being willy-nilly.” Arredondo added they would use international data and local responses, to proactively seek out desired businesses.

to the type of businesses.”

Short-term goals

Focusing on Fay Avenue, she said, “We’re contacting the owners of the (empty) buildings to learn more about the spaces.” The team is also reviewing data compiled by LJVMA president Claude-Anthony Marengo that outlines La Jolla’s “districts,” such as its restaurant rows, the entertainment district marked by The LOT movie theater and planned Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, and the health and beauty district, marked by salons and fitness centers. Hoping to find businesses that would complement and thrive in these districts, she said, “We’re trying to organize and recruit businesses and talk to realtors.”

Added team member Brett Murphy, “The biggest thing we’re finding (from this effort) is that there isn’t really any synergy between the building owners and the businesses that go into these spaces. That’s why we love the district idea, it helps us build this nice package to create some synergy.”

Long-term goals

Using the data collected last year and the survey going out next month, the long-term goal, said Fazzio, is “to take the qualitative and quantitative data and create a marketing package for La Jolla for prospective businesses. It would promote what we’re about here and sell the business area.” He said the team would ultimately like to create “some recommendations for types of

■ Eight board seats open: To fill eight seats that will be up for grabs this fall, LJVMA is accepting nominations, including self-nominations, for a spot on the board. “It’s a volunteer position and you have to have an active and current City of San Diego Business Tax License. You also have to be the owner or manager of the business, or designated by the owner or manager to be a voice for the business,” LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said. The eight seats are for two-year terms. Nominations will be collected at the July meeting, and then the board will create a ballot to be mailed to eligible voters. The results will be announced at the October meeting. ■ New planters potted: Richard Walker, a member of LJVMA Design Division, reported that in late May, new concrete pots and benches were placed at the corner of La Jolla Boulevard and Pearl Street, and a palm tree was planted at the corner of Girard Avenue and Silverado Street, replacing a tree stump. — Next meeting: La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association meets 3 p.m. second Wednesdays at La Jolla’s Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. lajollabythesea.org

La Jolla to hop on the horn? Jazz Festival proposed for Scripps Park

BY ASHLEY MACKIN With the calendar full of crowd-drawing events La Jolla boasts — could a jazz festival be next? At the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association (LJVMA) meeting June 8, David Payne of RTE Productions (the team behind the San Diego Bayfest at Petco Park) announced he would like to bring an upscale jazz festival to Scripps Park this fall. Making the rounds at La Jolla’s various community advisory groups to drum up support, Payne said the name and date of the event have not been determined. He told La Jolla Light he hopes the concert series would “have the elegance of the Concours d’Elegance car show and the glamour of the Masters Golf Tournament with higher-end performers.” Stirring the board’s excitement, so long as it’s not “elevator jazz,” Payne said the concert would span three nights, and bring about 2,500 people to La Jolla. “Artists we’d pursue would be (R&B legend) Smokey Robinson, Peter White, Mindi Abair, Brian Culbertson, George Benson and Dave Koz,” he

said, adding there would likely be three bands each night. The event would be reserved-seating only. “We would set it up so the performance area would be fenced off, with a separate area for vendors, but the south side of the park would be completely open.” Ticket prices have not been determined. Payne is pursuing a weekend in October, but noting other area events planned for that month, including the Art and Wine Festival (Oct. 8-9 on Girard Avenue) and the Triathlon Challenge (Oct. 23 at The Cove), LJVMA member Ike Fazio suggested a pre-holiday festival in November might be easier to accommodate. With tentative approval from the City of San Diego, pending local approval, Payne said the two major concerns he wanted to address were traffic and care of the grass at the park. “At a previous events, thousands of people were parked off-site and we were able to bus them in and out. For something like this, we would do something similar where we park people off-site to minimize

the traffic and parking impacts on the Village area,” he said. “We work with San Diego Police and … area high schools or community colleges because they have the parking but are often closed on weekends. Lots are staffed with attendants, portable toilets and trash receptacles. We want a traffic plan that minimizes impact on local merchants but at the same time brings 2,000 people to the area.” Bussing would begin in the early afternoon, so those that want to shop or eat in the Village will have a few hours to do so before the concerts begin. With a 25-year history of putting on concerts in unconventional venues, Payne said he has experience with leaving grassy surfaces in pristine condition. “At past events, grass has been left in the same condition as when we got there,” he said. “We put down wood over the grass so it doesn’t get damaged and make sure the trucks don’t do sharp turns on the grass to prevent damage.” He added, “Scripps Park, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful parks in San Diego, so we want to bring a high quality event

CRIME & PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

Run, Hide or Fight? Chief has tips on surviving an active shooting incident BY FIRE CHIEF SAM DIGIOVANNA Orlando, Florida. How did this happened again? Anger, sadness and a tremendous feeling of disappointment and let down, I never thought I’d be writing an article of this nature. “Run, Hide or Fight? Surviving an Active Shooter in the United States of America.” What’s happened to us? Being able to protect yourself in an active shooter situation begins with having a good sense of what’s going on around you. Knowing your environment is one of the most important safety precautions you can take in any situation. Part of being aware of your environment, means knowing how to get out when things go bad. Upon entering any new area, the first thing you want to do is look for every possible escape route and exit that you can find. Follow your instincts. If a situation seems odd, if something seems out of place, or your gut tells you something isn’t right, listen to your instincts and don’t wait around to find out what happened. Your first line of defense — Escape! This is first and foremost on the list of options. In an active shooter situation, the first thing you want to do is try to escape. This isn’t a movie or a video game; when the bullets start flying the last place you want to be is anywhere near the shooter. Once you hit the exit, keep going. Distance is one of the keys to surviving the situation. Take cover. Taking cover means moving yourself away from any possible harm. If you can’t safely remove yourself from the situation, the next best option may be to take cover hit the floor and curl into a ball. When all else fails, Fight! Critics of this option will probably argue that you should never try to attack a shooter.

But if you’re in a situation where there’s no place to run, and no place to seek cover, what other option do you have? Most critics fall silent when asked that question. Once you have exited the building, or removed yourself from the situation, don’t drop your guard. What if the shooter returns? What if there are other shooters waiting outside the exits?

Clinics for ages 6-8 will be 9-9:50 a.m. and ages 9-12 will be 10-11:50 a.m. Due to space limitations, enrollment will be limited to the first 60 juniors for each age group.

Tournament, held at Hilton Anatole. On the Vikings team was Olivia Doehr, Vincent Doehr, Clay Halbert, James Malouf and Eric Wang, coached by Aaron Quesnell. La Jolla began the preliminary rounds with a four-game winning streak, in which they defeated teams from Minnesota, New Jersey, Missouri and more. They finished the preliminary rounds with a 8-2 record, which qualified them for the playoffs. La Jolla’s shot at the title ended when they lost to Manheim Township from Lancaster, Pennsylvania in round 20. Coming in 21st place, La Jolla finished with the best performance by any California team. Quiz Bowl is a competitive, academic, interscholastic activity for teams of four students who use buzzers to answer questions about science, math, history, literature, mythology, geography, social science, current events, sports and popular culture. The matches feature a blend of individual competition and team collaboration, since no individual player is likely to be an expert in all subject areas. Participation in Quiz Bowl reinforces classroom lessons and encourages players to develop new intellectual interests.

Judy Shufro with her San Diego County Fair-winning ‘Carrots’

La Jolla artist earns blue ribbon at the Fair La Jolla artist Judy Shufro won first place at the San Diego County Fair for her acrylic painting in the Still Life and Florals category. Riding a mini wave of success, she said she will also be exhibiting in the upcoming Friends of Riford Library summer show, “Life Speaks,” opening June 26 and “showing my work at Finches on Girard Avenue for the month of August.” Beginning June 18 (then every second Saturday), Shufro will offer free art classes at the library; children’s group meets 10-11 a.m. and adults 11 a.m. to noon. Materials will be provided. judithshufro.com

From June 17 to 26, motorists can expect traffic delays at the Interstate 5/Genesee Avenue interchange. Crews will build new freeway onand off-ramps and move traffic onto the newly constructed north side bridge, reports SANDAG. During this time, motorists can expect reduced lanes during the day and intermittent lane closures at night on Genesee Avenue between Science Center Drive and Scripps Hospital. During the weekend of June 24-26, there also will be intermittent daytime and nighttime closures of the on- and off-ramps to I-5. Once the traffic has been switched, crews will begin demolition of the old Genesee Avenue Bridge and construct the second half of the new structure. Detours will be in place, but motorists and people on bikes are encouraged to avoid the area if possible during this work. To view the schedule of the planned closures and associated detours, visit keepsandiegomoving.com/genesee. Note: construction schedules are subject to change as closures are weather permitting. The $105 million project will replace the existing six-lane Genesee Avenue overpass with a ten-lane structure that will include additional vehicle lanes, new bike lanes and sidewalks, and better accommodate current and future traffic demands in the San Diego region. The I-5/Genesee Avenue Interchange Project is expected to be completed in 2017.

Construction will make I-5 a traffic nightmare June 17-26.

sketch has a fence that fulfills the requirements of FOLJS’s agreement with T.B. Penick, the company that installed The Map in the first place, and addresses the Park & Rec Department’s concerns. It provides accessibility and is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The majority of the fence’s cost would be covered by T.B. Penick, which agreed to pay $50,000 for materials and insisted on the installation. “Enclosing the area is a safety issue so people aren’t biking through or skateboarding through. It’s also a maintenance issue; it’s impossible to keep The Map clean if it’s a pass-through,” Coakley Munk said. The proposed design for the fence will match the blue color of the adjacent playground equipment and contain representations of Garibaldi, the California State Fish. “We are trying to keep everything as educational as we can,” she said. Coakley Munk also shared some ideas being discussed to make The Map area “even more exciting,” she said, suggesting a bathymetry (representation of the depth of water in the ocean) and a monitor that would stream live video of marine life offshore. Later this month FOLJS board members will meet with city officials to go over the details.

The signs arrived before the Fourth of July festivities during which many people traditionally break the law against camping on the beach. LJSA board members expressed their satisfaction with the signs, which they said were easy to read and “looked good.” ■ UCSD parking update: The first four levels of the UCSD Athena Parking Structure opened June 2 on Health Sciences Drive, near some of the campus medical facilities, such as Thornton Hospital, Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center and Ratner Children’s Eye Center. It offers 466 Patient or Visitor parking spaces, and 225 Faculty spaces. Two additional levels are scheduled to open June 29 and make available 225 more Faculty and 336 Staff and Grad Student parking spaces. ■ Pesticides at the park: Trustee Terry Kraszewski requested the board discuss at its July meeting, the city’s use of glyphosate (or Roundup) on park lawns. ■ A Shores MAD? The board began brainstorming ideas for improvements that could be funded by the establishment of a Maintenance Assistance District (MAD). Some of these included a new boardwalk, roundabouts, a dedicated park ranger and a bike lane. President Nick LeBeouf directed board members to ask their neighbors “left and right” for input. “We need to know what we want, if we are going to start this process,” LeBeouf said.

BRENNAN POHLE GROUP COMPLETES STUNNING NEW DEVELOPMENT

he La Jolla based Brennan Pohle Group recently completed an award winning 4 unit town home project in Point Loma, selling out the building before they could even get the walls up. La Jolla Realtor and developer, Justin Brennan, attributes the success of sales to the unique style, private parking and private rooftop decks for each homeowner. “It was a very challenging building to construct, but the results have been fantastic,” says Justin. The building was designed by La Jolla architect, Dan Linn, and is comprised of 4 town homes, each with their own private garage, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, ranging from 1,300 – 1,530 sqft and rootop view decks. The project took 11 months to construct and is award winning in its design and use of space. Point Loma residents and the planning commission group are delighted with the result, as it aligns beautifully with their vision within the Point Loma community. The idea of The Brennan Pohle Group ﬁrst came to light in the back of a classroom at the University of San Diego (USD) in 2006. “Justin & I should have

been paying attention in class, but we were bored and decided to make friends chatting about apartments. We both come from real estate families and knew the importance of passive income to build long-term wealth… and so it began,” says Christopher Pohle. In 2008, right in the heart of the collapse, the company bought its ﬁrst property. It’s focus was simple…. buy, rehab and own apartments. Over the last 8 years The BP Group, along with its investors,

have acquired a portfolio of apartments in San Diego and other areas of Southern California. “Our focus has always been to acquire C grade properties, turn them into B or B+ properties, surrounded by A+ properties. Essentially we want to be the Wal-Mart surrounded by Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Macy’s,” says Christopher Pohle. Even though Chris and Justin come from real estate families, neither immediately jumped into

the family business out of college. Instead, Christopher leveraged his talents in the tech industry to become chief technology ofﬁcer for two military tech companies and CEO and founder of Tactical Edge, a leading software provider for the United States military. Justin Brennan started his career in the title insurance business before venturing back into real estate sales and development in La Jolla. Both Chris and Justin bring unique skills to their partnership, balancing each other out. “Chris brings things to the table I can’t and I bring things to the partnership he can’t. This is why it works, says Justin Brennan.”

The Future Future opportunities are providing BP the chance to acquire properties in Colorado, Arizona and Texas. “We started the company with the purchase of a $100,000 condo in Murrieta, CA during the recession. We then expanded into acquiring a house, tri plex, four plex and now larger properties,” says Justin. The future is bright for this young duo as they partner with investors to expand the company throughout the Western United States. “I have always believed that success leaves clues. And so I pay attention to other companies that I would like to emulate. This is why we structured the BP group similar to that of other well-known San Diego companies like Colrich and The Mcmillin Companies. Scott McMillin was my mentor while attending the BurhamMoores Real Estate Masters program at USD. I learned a lot from him and how he and his brother have continued the legacy of their father Corky. The Colrich Company is an amazing family story and I have learned a lot about how they started,

have grown and are continuing to expand in the multi family business,” says Justin Brennan.

With many goals on the horizon, both Chris and Justin stay grounded with their families in La Jolla and Point Loma. As a Realtor in La Jolla, Justin is in the business everyday and able to seek out the best opportunities for The BP Group. “I wear 2 hats as a Realtor by day and an

apartment developer by night. I’m always looking for opportunities and by working in the business everyday I am able to locate them. My clients value the background and knowledge I bring to the table. It helps them invest and grow wealth in real estate too. In fact many of them become investors in our company because they trust in what we do”, says Justin.” As a tech CEO, Christopher Pohle is able to locate capital resources for the company, which in turn is the lifeblood of The BP Group’s ability to continue to acquire apartment assets. “Our goal is to own over 1,000 apartments over the next 10 years. We know we can do it through strategic partnerships while locating viable opportunities both in and out of California. We look forward to the challenge”, says Christopher. Congratulations Chris and Justin on an award winning job with Keats Place in Point Loma. We look forward to the next multi family development on the horizon.

ASHLEY MACKIN

Looking Back on the School Year

Graduating class of 2016 touts diverse experiences, trying new things BY ASHLEY MACKIN n addition to sharing an (around) 4.8 Grade Point Average (GPA), La Jolla High School’s three 2016 Valedictorians have something else in common — they all used their time in high school to explore their interests. With more than 90 clubs/electives, nearly 30 different sports, and dozens of Advance Placement classes, they agreed that La Jolla High provided them with many opportunities to discover their passions. Valedictorians Sophia Eliopulos, Madeline Gates, Jack Mann and Salutatorian Clay Halbert will join 360 other Vikings June 21 at the Class of 2016’s graduation ceremony at UC San Diego. (With Edwards Stadium and the athletic fields under construction, graduation was moved to UCSD this year.) Of this year’s graduates 176 are boys, and 184 are girls. About 95 percent have committed to higher education. When speaking with La Jolla Light, they credited their success in high school to being able to study what they had an interest in, and try new things, as well. They each noted that club or sports participation was a factor to a well-rounded high school experience. “We have a really wide course offering, so taking classes in things I was interested in was not a problem here, at all,” Mann said. “Plus, La Jolla High puts a lot of emphasis on letting the students do their own thing. There is not a sense of ‘you have to do this’ or ‘you can’t do that,’ and I think that’s important because I’ve been able to explore and develop new skills.” Looking back on her last four years, Eliopulos said she wished she had taken better advantage of the course diversity. “I would have I had taken more classes that I found interesting rather than ones I thought I had to take,” she said. “During your freshman year, you don’t have a lot of

flexibility with that, but as you go on, you definitely have more options. “This year, I took marine sciences, which was interesting, but I wish I did something else that I really wanted to do.” The avid athlete, who played varsity volleyball and swam, added, “I also wish I tried more sports because nowadays you have to pick a sport and stay with it to stay competitive, but I would have tried a different sport every season.” However, Eliopulos said she was able to diversify through club activities. Her volunteer resume includes Red Cross Club, Link Crew and the California Scholarship Federation. “A friend of mine and I founded a group called For the Earth Club, which focuses on trying to educate our school on what we can do to limit our carbon footprint and become a greener campus. We worked on getting electronic water bottle filling stations for the school and getting reusable water bottles,” she said. Similarly, Salutatorian Halbert said he developed a sense of enthusiasm from participating in — and watching friends in — different clubs. Through activities such as Speech and Debate Club and the Mock Trial team, Halbert said he wanted to both broaden his horizons and find a place for his love of “arguing with people” during high school. “I wanted to learn as many things as I could,” he said. “Plus, I made friends with people who are so enthusiastic about the things they love. I have one friend who loves Quiz Bowl (sincerely) which is nice to see.” When it comes to finding those activities that students may come to love, Gates advice is to “try everything.” She explained, “I wish I knew as a freshman that time goes by really quickly and you must make the most of your four years. If you think you might be interested in a club, sport or class, try it out, otherwise you’ll miss out on something you

might have really enjoyed.”

A solid foundation

With the chance to find their area of interest in high school and create a knowledge base ahead of college, the students are confident as they head toward the next phase of their education. With years of art-based club experience and challenging math courses, Gates said she is planning to study mechanical engineering at UCLA come fall. “Math was one of my favorite subjects through high school … with math, there is always an end goal, an answer to get to. So when I looked at things to study, I was looking at what uses math, and art, which I also enjoy; mechanical engineering involves design elements,” she said. “Technology is one of those things that is going to keep improving, so that’s where I want to be.” Berkley-bound to study physics, Halbert said a longtime STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) was beneficial, noting he read works by Albert Einstein before he even started high school. “Science in our culture is going to become more common. Young people today have more opportunities to be introduced and get interested in science, which I’ve noticed just based on my education and those around me.” Also planning to go into a scientific field, Eliopulos will attend UCLA as a pre-med student. “I’m really interested in the brain, so I’ve spoken to people about studying psycho-biology, neuro-science or physiological science,” she said. On a personal level, she added her interest in medicine started at home. “My dad was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis the year before I was born, which is a degenerative disease of the nervous system … Slowly over time, it’s been hard for him to

He’s in a wheelchair now and has been for a while,” she said. “Growing up with that, I asked myself why does this happen? And how does this happen? Is there anything I can do to make this not happen? That’s why I want to be a doctor and help people for the rest of my life.” Mann, who calls himself a “social sciences guy rather than a hard sciences guy,” said he will study finance at Arizona State because economics has always interested him. He took advanced courses, particularly in math, to establish a solid base. But that’s not to say there weren’t a few bumps along the way, which he said (looking back) is OK. “Lots of younger students take things really seriously and make big things out of small things,” he said. “If you didn’t do well on a test or if you got a B in a certain class, it’s not a big deal. It’s OK to have some of those.”

District-wide diversity

Although prominent in La Jolla, students district wide are being commended this year for the diversity of study in which they engaged. According to press material from the San Diego Unified School District, 92 percent of all San Diego Unified seniors are on track to graduate this year — a 2 percent rise from previous years. Further, “San Diego Unified students speak more than 60 different languages and come from over 170 different nations. … As individuals, the Class of 2016 has had the chance to pursue their special talents in the arts, music and athletics,” the disctrict stated. Superintendent Cindy Merten said, “I have no doubts about the bright future awaiting the Class of 2016. Not only are they better prepared academically, they also understand how to follow their individual passions in an increasingly diverse society.”

ASHLEY MACKIN

The burgeoning sea lion population in La Jolla continues to draw strong opinions from residents about how to solve what the La Jolla Town Council calls a ‘Crisis at The Cove.’

■ If a group of homeless people occupied The Cove beach, fouled the water, prevented use of the beach and rendered swimming dangerous, they would be removed within 48 hours, but apparently the rights of mammals exceed those of humans. I have walked along The Cove every day and have seen tourists with masks on, handkerchiefs over their noses and literally gagging from the smell. I have heard of the complaints by restaurant and store owners how their businesses have been adversely affected. I take no comfort in hearing that yet another forum is scheduled to discuss the problem. In 1950, there were 10,000 sea lions on the California coast. There are now 300,000! I have no idea how to solve the problem, but if we are to preserve the quality of life and protect the social and economic future of La Jolla, something must be done - other than talk about it. H.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) ■ The La Jolla Rough Water Swim is cancelled due to polluted La Jolla Cove water. The San Diego Union-Tribune publishes in its Weather section every day of tourist season that La Jolla Children’s Pool has “Polluted waters to avoid.” It seems obvious to me that the City of San Diego now has definite proof that the La Jolla seals and sea lions are not just a potential hazard, but a definite health hazard, and can legally be removed under MMPA Section 109(h). As that is not going on, the La Jolla Town Council continues to discuss the matter and recommends that it be discussed at the next meeting. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results (or any results in this absurdity). Stupid is as stupid does (nothing). La Jolla — The Jewel? No — The Sewer (La Cloaca). Pete Ward

lifeguard tower finished in time for our 99th annual Rough Water Swim. Now it is time for our 100th — the oldest in the world and the most famous — and we had to cancel it because our Cove is polluted with (sea lion) poop. You can fix this! It is my understanding that if the ocean is polluted you find the source of pollution and if at all possible, get rid of the source. We know what the source is, so below you will find 94 (signatures) asking you to remove the pollution at the La Jolla Cove. Now! Melinda Merryweather (and 93 others)

■ I attended the La Jolla Town Council meeting on June 9, which was supposed to be a moderated discussion about the “sea lion crisis at The Cove.” I thought that this meeting would entail a serious and thoughtful discussion about the gravity of doing anything to address the issue of sea lions on the beach at the La Jolla Cove. Instead, it was almost a mob mentality of doing anything necessary to drive away the sea lions from the beach. There were approximately 150 people laughing and applauding ways that they could harass the sea lions on the beach at The Cove. It is sickening to know that people do not see harassment of sea lions as the animal abuse it is. Methods mentioned to use to drive the sea lions away were throwing firecrackers at them, using a cattle prod, air horn sirens, electrified fencing and high-powered water pressure hoses to drive the sea lions away. The moderator of the meeting even stated to the group that if she herself had to go down to the beach and harass the sea lions to leave, she would do so. The crowd roared with laughter and applauded. I was both shocked and saddened that a group of adults would laugh at being cruel to the sea lions and find it acceptable. Obviously the sea lions were driven from Goldfish Point, the Clamshell and the bluffs by kayakers and people getting too close to them. In my opinion, the gate being opened allowing people closer access to the sea lions and the acrid chemical spraying of the bluff has caused the sea lions to move to the beach at The Cove. More harassment of the sea lions is not the answer. I support the sea lions. The challenge of educating people about living in harmony with wild life is daunting, but it must be done. Somehow we all must accept that the sea lions have a right to live here. Nancy Lee

Good to print mental health, safety resources for readers La Jolla Light ought to run the Mental Health contact information it published on June 9 fairly often or permanently. We have a cadre of people in our hood — 92037 and 92122 — who at times “come apart.” I was attacked by one a few years ago on the I-5 overpass (Nobel Drive by La Jolla Village Square) in one particular instance. In another, a lady who was under the influence of some substance jumped off our MTS bus at Via La Jolla Drive and La Jolla Village Drive and ran right into rush hour traffic. I called 9-1-1 and followed her to the condo she lived in. Dispatchers sent over a San Diego police officer and a social worker.

Why haven’t we banned leaf blowers? Am I alone in supporting a ban on gas powered leaf blowers in our community? On any given day, I feel bombarded by these noisy, smelly, inefficient machines that simply push lawn shavings from one property to another. As a city that is becoming serious about the need to move away from products that pollute, let’s start with these nuisance machines.

If a ban is inconceivable in the immediate term, can we at least encourage one another to decrease lawn services, talk to the workers who maintain our yards about not using these machines or some combination of the two? My lungs, ear, and Mother Nature would appreciate it. Martin Pszczola

Building codes must legally apply to all We all support art. We also support inspection rules that insure good construction and setback laws that guarantee open land along the sidewalks and between properties. We are offended by those who consider themselves above these laws. This sort of arrogance gives artists a black eye. Count me with the two-thirds of La Jollans who say Nasser Pirasteh must tear down the illegal “structure” he created in his front yard. John Daley

Would it be so bad to ‘bend’ building codes? When pressed against infinity, the grandest phenomenal occurrences in the universe have very little significance. But not so for numerous La Jolla residents when it comes to the June 17 survival decision on the attractive art sculpture “In-Out” at Nasser Pirasteh’s house. On my daily journey down Nautilus canyon to the edge of water for my meditation, I see and feel the aesthetic value of the outstanding “In-Out,” and wish for its constant stand. Emil Zolfeghari

You’ll find Green sea turtles around all year I am working to spread awareness of Southern California’s sea turtles and I was delighted to see your piece in the La Jolla Light on June 2. However, the aquarist at Birch Aquarium seems to have mixed up his

sea turtles! While the Loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) in the aquarium does indeed migrate from Japan to California and Mexico, and are more commonly seen in our waters in the summer months, Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) live in Southern California year-round! They do travel down to the Revillagigedos Islands to breed and lay eggs, but only for short periods, and return to SoCal to feed for the rest of the year. Please remind your readers that Green sea turtles are found in La Jolla waters all year round, and to look out for them in shallow water bays and estuaries, especially around sunrise and sunset. To learn more, please visit SoCalSeaTurtles.org or the NOAA SWFSC Marine Turtle Ecology and Assessment Group website.

It must be ‘bonds’ before ‘divisions’ when seeking peace for all If your stomach is in knots, as mine is, at the news of the slaughter at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, June 12, you must wonder, as I do, what, if anything, is a response that can register not only what we feel, but what must be done. It occurred to me the day before this happened that this election campaign, is in one sense, between those who still have some skin in the game that we call our country, and those whose anger at feeling disenfranchised, makes them willing to tear apart the fragile skin that holds us together. Aside from the obvious, the first deterrrent would be gun laws that keep assault weapons from the hands of everyone. Less obvious but even more important, would be learning the simple discipline of embracing each other as the kin we are. What makes the Pulse nightclub horror ever more poignant is that the people targeted have done as much as any group among us to embrace each other, and, more than most, have paid a heavy price. Everyone drawing breath has skin in the game. There have always been those who don’t see that, and they can do horrendous things, as they did in Orlando. Sorrow will always be a part of our lives. Once convicted, viscerally of what it means that we breathe common air — every encounter a revelation of another kin — nothing, not even murder, can keep us from the wonder of being here together. May we wrap our arms around those we love, and have loved, defying those who would divert us from daring to put our bonds before our divisions. Blayney Colmore

Board chair Cindy Greatrex said the capital campaign began in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of these generous donations are for capital renovation and will be used accordingly ... The Board humbly thanks our donors and their vision for the longterm maintenance and beautification of our facility,â&#x20AC;? she said. In November 2015, Greatrex said in the coming year and going forward, the Board would seek funding for cosmetic changes to the facility. Among them: replacing the audio system and increasing lighting to make the facility safer at night and deter people from sleeping on the grass. Interested donors may mail contributions to: La Jolla Rec Center Board of Directors c/o La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St., San Diego, CA 92037

Sheriff offers residents summer safety tips A

s summer approaches and schools let out, people take advantage of the sunny weather to do outdoor projects, take their families to fun places, relax and keep cool. For criminals, however, it’s a very busy time of year. It can be easy to forget to close a door or window, but if they are left open it creates an easy opportunity for a burglar. Criminals focus on easy targets; make it difficult for them to choose you. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department wants to remind you of some tips to keep yourself, your family, your home and your valuables safe.

At Home

• Always lock your doors and windows especially at night and when you’re away. • Close your garage and pet doors. • Secure ladders and tools so they can’t be used to gain entry into your home.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Ezra H. Ellis

February 22, 1930 - June 2, 2016 La JoLLa — Ezra, the family patriarch, succumbed to complications of a fall. He was born Ezra Haron Eliahou in Baghdad, Iraq. He was raised in Baghdad as an only son with four older sisters. Ezra travelled on the Queen Elizabeth to England for college and then went on to earn a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. He married Claire Betty Shiry in Queens, New York, in 1957, had two sons and travelled the world. He spent most of his life in Los angeles before moving to La Jolla in his retirement years. after a very brief period as an engineer and then in an import export business, Ezra built a thriving commercial real estate business. In 2014 he married his second wife, Eleanor Bellinson. His passions included tennis, politics, his Jewish faith, and of course, playing bridge and poker!! But mostly, Ezra was devoted to his family and watching them grow and thrive. He was a devoted husband, father, father-inlaw, grandfather, uncle and friend and he made a huge and lasting impact on the lives of both family and

• Be wary of anyone who approaches your front door and don’t let them take up too much of your time. Criminals work together; one will come to your door and distract you while the other sneaks into your home. Ask for an ID of a utility person. • Be a good neighbor, lookout for one another. • Excessive dog barking could be a sign of an intruder and may warrant a call to the police non-emergency line (619) 531-2000 or (858) 484-3154. Emergency? Call 9-1-1.

When Going on Vacation

• Lock up your home, activate your alarm system. • Don’t share your plans on social media. • Hold the delivery of your mail and newspaper or ask a trusted friend to pick them up for you. • Buy a timer for your lights and set them in a random pattern. • Ask a neighbor to occasionally park in your driveway. • Sign up for a free vacation check so Sheriff’s Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) members can keep an eye on your home. Visit sdsheriff.net

Pool Safety

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 1-4. Drownings and injuries are highest in warm weather months, from June to August. These simple steps can save lives: • Keep children within arm’s reach at all times in and around the pool. • Assign an adult water watcher. • Fence your pool with self-closing or self-latching gates. • Install pool and gate alarms. • Learn CPR. • Simon the Sheriff’s Bloodhound Safety Puppet also has some pool safety tips to share with kids.

friends. We will cherish the many memories and words of wisdom he provided to build a foundation for his family. He is survived by his wife, Ellie Ellis; two sons, Donald Ellis and David Ellis; daughters-in-law, Kathy Ellis and Dana Liston; grandchildren, ariel Ellis, aaron Ellis and Sean Ellis; and his step-grandchild, Eden orlando. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be sent to Congregation Beth am, 5050 Del Mar Heights Road, San Diego 92130, attention: Rabbi Earne for the Ezra Ellis/ Education Fund. online family condolences may be offered to drdon1@ earthlink.net.

• Never leave your car running unattended, even to dash into a store. • Always roll up your windows and lock your car even in hot weather. • Never leave valuables in plain sight. • Park cars in well-lit areas.

• Never leave any keys in the car or ignition.

Heatstroke

Did you know it’s illegal to leave a child under age 6 alone in a car? Kaitlyn’s Law requires that any child left in a car must have supervision from a person who is 12 years of age or older. • Never leave a child alone in a car. • Where’s the baby? Look before you lock. • Always lock the car and keep keys out of reach. • Teach children that a car is not a play area. • On an 80 F day, a car can reach deadly levels in 10 minutes. • Remember, when a child’s temperature reaches 107 F, they die.

Bike Safety

• Always wear a helmet. • Follow the rules of the road. • Ride with the flow of traffic, not against it. • Wear bright-colored or reflective clothing. • If you’re not riding, lock your bike. • Parents, set parameters on where kids are allowed to ride. • For more bike safety tips, watch a video at sdsheriff.net/crimeprevention — For more safety tips, visit sdsheriff.net/crimeprevention

‘Crisis at The Cove’ Forum Reactions

■ Penny Nagel: “The Mayor didn’t even show up, so it appears that the city doesn’t really care. But people are upset. The situation is getting serious and out of control. The city needs to hire someone to take care of this.”

■ Alice Mitchell: “I’m disappointed but not surprised. The city doesn’t have a system in place to deal with this. The one person from the city, who was representing the mayor, had to stand up and say ‘I can’t do anything.’ We are in a crisis and they can’t do anything … and the number of people saying it’s not their job is hopeless.” ■ Kim Miller: “I’ve come to previous forums on this topic and this was the most positive one yet. The speakers were diverse, concise, informed and eloquent ... except for the government officials, who just seemed to say ‘I have to look into it’ or ‘I have to ask someone else.’ ” ■ Not identified: “Everyone wants the city to do something and we got stonewalled again because of all the legalities. Everyone wants something done and a responsible party to step up and do it.”

Kathryn Kanjo: MCASD’s new CEO charmed by ‘real life’

MICHAEL GERDES

The hand-built home, studios and gardens of James and Anne Hubbell includes this structure, called The Boys’ House, rebuilt after the 2003 Cedar Fire.

What is your hope for the MCASD galleries in La Jolla ? My hope is that the space and the artwork contained within it meaningfully impact visitors. A museum is a place to tune in and take notice. MCASD should become the backdrop for important memories and (best!) a catalyst of enlightenment. With the upcoming expansion, in particular, I want guests to value the relationships between the interior spaces and exterior site that the architect creates by sculpting galleries, framing views, shaping gardens, and expanding terraces. Who or what inspires you? Real life! I’m often struck by the quiet accomplishments of friends and acquaintances. SEE 10 QUESTIONS, B11

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT or over half a century, artist James Hubbell and his wife Anne have been working on their 10-acre mountain retreat near Julian, building a home and studios and making art. Once every year, on Father’s Day, they open their hand-built dwelling-place to the public, an opportunity to tour the grounds, meet the Hubbells, and experience their inspiring blend of nature and art. The almost 85-year-old Hubbell is a sculptor, painter and architectural designer, a master of stained glass and mosaics whose work can be seen in homes, schools, museums, nature centers and peace parks around the world. The Open House is a benefit for the Ilan Lael Foundation, whose name means “a tree belonging to God,” a tree with roots in the earth and branches reaching toward the heavens. The Hubbells established the nonprofit foundation in 1982 to spread their spirit of creative nurturance to people of all ages and cultures, and bring artists together to collaborate on public art. Then, in October 2003, much of their property was destroyed in the devastating Cedar Fire, one of the worst wildfires in California history. Refusing to feel like victims, the Hubbells saw the disaster as a time for renewal. Determined to recreate their retreat but unable to pay for it themselves, they turned it over to Ilan Yael, becoming lifetime “artists in residence.” Now, 13 years later, the area is green and thriving, the burnt-out buildings have been restored, inside and out, and a trio of new, hand-built structures — office, storage and meeting spaces — will be completed next year. “We couldn’t have rebuilt without the Foundation,” Hubbell said. “The new buildings are a staging site, a gathering place; the rest is an art work.” For years, he had done all the building himself, with a little help from his friends, and as they grew older, his four sons. “We never borrowed money,” he said. “If we didn’t have enough money to buy something, we could lay stone. Cement was only $1.25 a bag. In a sense, this was all built by us, with a handful of SEE HUBBELL, B16

Thinking outside the hose

La Jolla Cultural Partners

hat is so rare as a day in June that is not gloomy? Actually, for once San Diego’s May Gray/June Gloom season is welcome at our house given how stringent the watering restrictions are. A day without sunshine is an automatic deduction in our water bill. As hard as we’ve worked to conserve water, we sometimes feel we are single-handedly underwriting the Metropolitan Water Authority’s infrastructure improvements. What annoys us is that they do not seem the least bit grateful. I’ve written before how we’ve let our grass be overtaken by kikuyu, a grassy-looking weed that is fortunately drought tolerant. We’re just not ready to let the grandtots have to dodge cactus. Given that this is year four of the Great California Drought, a variety of lawn solutions are in evidence in our neighborhood. A few people have gone for artificial turf. Others have gone for “natural” landscaping. I wrote once before that I considered “attractive native plants” an oxymoron. If the plants are attractive, they’re native to somewhere else. But I will concede that some of the new low-water landscapes on my block are genuinely attractive even if the plants might

not be strictly local. A few neighbors have gone for just letting the lawn die. As in brown and dead. I couldn’t help but reflect that the very lawn that now gets you the Brown Badge of Honor would only a short time ago have brought a nasty note from the Town Council for failing to maintain your property. Such are life’s ironies. Now, if your grass is too green, will you get a warning that your neighbors have complained you’re keeping up your lawn? Of course, we’d have to think twice about advising everyone to just let their grass die. It would almost certainly cause the collapse of the Mow & Blow biz, the major (only?) growth industry in Southern California. There’d be nothing to either mow or blow, although if it would herald the end of those 130-decibel leaf blowers, I know lots of people who could get on board with it. Inquiring minds want to know: Could dead lawns be the first of a domino effect of previously impermissible property-value-lowering constraints in La Jolla? Could clothes lines be allowed next? What about chickens? The clothes lines certainly make sense for energy conservation and whatever else you can say about chickens, they’re gluten-free.

If clothes lines are permissible, could real estate For Sale signs be far behind? A lifetime La Jollan friend sniffs that the presence of either would be irrefutable evidence that the town has gone to hell in an off-season lobster trap. The drought has already brought changes to San Diego that no one would have predicted. Like, for example, the Water Police. Dare to irrigate after 10 a.m. or before 6 on your two allotted watering days — and for more than the time limit — and you risk the wrath of the water gendarmes. California communities across the Southland are now having to balance property values against the realities of the drought. Glendale, for example, is reconsidering its ban on artificial turf in front yards, so long as it adheres to a certain quality standard, which as you might guess, is determined by the good fathers of Glendale. Translation: None of that Home Depot stuff need apply. This property values issue is serious stuff. Every time I’ve been on jury duty, it’s been a property dispute. In 1988, I spent two long weeks on a case between two neighbors in Carlsbad after one of them planted tomato plants in his front yard in violation of the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions). It polarized the entire neighborhood. I’m guessing that the CC&R folks are still not speaking to Team Tomatoes 28 years later. The much-hyped El Niño of the Century didn’t, alas, appear. Well, at least not in San Diego. In spite of predictions last fall that the next diluvian phase was upon us, we got one third less rainfall than normal. (Can we sue for breach of forecast?) So despite the easing of water conserving requirements in the rest of

INGA

New drought-acceptable landscaping option (dead lawn) the state, I doubt much is going to change here. Ever looking for ways to save water, my husband and I have spent many an hour surveying our property to make decisions about what we’d really like to save and what, worst case, we might have to let die. The Sophie’s Choice of horticulture, as it were. Already we think we can hear our plants pleading with us: “Save me!” “No, save ME!” “Screw her — I bloom more!” “But I’m more drought resistant!” “Don’t believe him — he’s an annual!” We’re really trying to think outside the hose. But if the spring marine layer will just hang on a while longer, we’re good. So gloom away, June! — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light.

La Jolla students raise school funds for Uganda orphans BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Muirlands Middle School student Savannah Wells knocked on the doors of all the houses in her block to raise $180 for a school campaign that helps children in Uganda. “I thought that they should get an education just like us,” she said. Wells was one of the top fundraisers this year, and she received a prize during a thank you pizza party Friday, June 10 in the school auditorium. As a whole, Muirlands raised $4,377 for Universal Technology Outreach Community Hubs (U-Touch), while students from La Jolla High also participated in the effort to raise $2,000. Since 2007, U-Touch funds have put 26 Ugandan students through school. The San Diego-based non-profit works to help orphans from the civil war in that country complete their education. Deborah Plotkin, U-Touch’s founder, told the students a story about one of their protégés, Sebastian. She first met in him in 2009, when he was 11 and lived in a small village with his cousins and his grandmother. “All the parents had died in the war,” Plotkin said. At that time, he wasn’t attending school. “Sebastian said to me, ‘Can I show you something?’ And he took me over to a very small hut. Inside, sitting on a little concrete bench was his cousin Julius. I looked on the floor and there

were some scraps of books, pieces of paper, anything he could find to read. Do you know what they had built? They built a reading hut. They were out of school, but they felt that education was so important that they were going to do anything they could to read,” Plotkin said. U-Touch staff in Africa, maintains a digital center, where students can go and learn, do their homework and access technology. One of these technologies is Skype, and Plotkin organizes video calls between students in La Jolla and Uganda at 7:30 in the morning. “The teachers who are interested in helping gather students in the classrooms and I coordinate with the students in Uganda and we are able to Skype with them,” she said. To make this possible, U-Touch counts on volunteers like Nora Wilcox and Talouoa Nichols, who chose this project in their philanthropy class, and have been helping out with key chains, invitations to events and planning. “We made key chains to let teachers know that they should help next year,” said Wilcox, adding how much planning it took to hold the thank you ceremony. “We really think that’s a great opportunity to help people in need,” Nichols added. Plotkin said she goes to Uganda for

Before working in Uganda, her family had helped build three schools in Nepal. After that, Plotkin and her daughter, then a sophomore at La Jolla High, met Sister Pauline at USD and traveled to Uganda to visit some of the displacement camps. “We began the fundraising to sponsor orphans in Uganda that would not be able to go to school otherwise,” she said.

A French immersion of the taste bud kind

The Marine Room Executive Chef Bernard Guillas with The Kitchen Shrink, Catharine Kaufman

hat a treat rubbing elbows with the crème de la crème of the culinary world during the annual “friendship” luncheon at La Jolla’s Marine Room celebrating the pride and accomplishments of two elite French organizations — the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France (MCF), and the Academie Culinaire de France (ACF). The event was hosted by Master Chef Bernard Guillas, a charter member of the former gastronomic club. I was quickly welcomed by this group of more than 100 Master Chefs from around the globe, from Vichy to Vegas, Montreal to Memphis. More effervescent and jubilant than the Champagne Devaux, Grande Reserve, brut flowing abundantly during the reception, the chefs reveled in their passion and French culinary traditions. To paraphrase Christian Tetedoie, president of MCF (worldwide), this coveted title is also a commitment to preserve a lineage of French chefs using their personalized style of cuisine full of artistry. Jean-Louis Dumonet, Executive Chef of the Union Club of New York city, and president of MCF’s North American delegation, explained the painstaking efforts to becoming a Master Chef and the life-long

Master Chef Christian Tetedoie with Master Chef Jean-Louis Dumonet and his wife, Karen Dumonet duties attached to this prestigious Master degree. First, the candidate has to be of French nationality, and not only be a good chef, but make it their mission to educate and transfer culinary knowledge in a tutelage to burgeoning French chefs. They must also have good personal and professional relationships with colleagues, and have a focus on the carbon footprint, embracing seasonality and local farmers. The ACF has a common mission to its sister organization. According to Fabrice Prochassa, president for the worldwide ACF delegation, “while the chefs don’t have to be French (citizens), they must keep the tradition and history of French cuisine throughout the world, along with supporting small local farmers and producers, especially wine and cheese makers in France.” And the ACF ensures that traditional farming and animal husbandry practices are respected without the use of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and GMO’s. Not surprising, every Master Chef I spoke

with told me that the most important ingredient in their repertoire was butter. And one notable curiosity was “Sweetie Pie,” nickname of Chef Sylvain Leroy from the Paris Gourmet in Carlstadt, New Jersey, whose claim to fame is his chocolate menu from soup to nuts, including a gazpacho with Parmesan foam, and a risotto with white chocolate sauce. Each dish at le dejeuner was a masterpiece blending vibrant color, local, seasonal herbs, fruits and vegetables, along with sustainable seafood and assorted organic offerings. The meal began with a porcini goat cheese pot de crème, followed by a Livermore red walnut crusted Alaskan Halibut with barberry freekeh (young green wheat), and Kurobuta Pork Cheek and duck foie with squash blossoms and cloud ear mushrooms. The piece de resistance of the vast array of desserts was the mouth-watering lemon bar with locally harvested hibiscus, and an almond cumin crust, recipe shared! — Catharine Kaufman can be reached at kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Children’s Pool Turns 85 Small celebration held to recognize La Jolla landmark

ifted to the City of San Diego in 1931 by La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, La Jolla Children’s Pool was created by the installation of the seawall. To commemorate its 85th anniversary, a group of enthusiasts gathered at the beach May 31 around sunset. Sharing stories of swimming there or taking their children to learn to swim there, almost 20 supporters had a small fire and offered toasts to the landmark. Also lamenting the fact that the site has been a source of controversy, several stated their disappointment that the beach is closed annually during Harbor Seal pupping season (Dec. 15 to May 15) and that the seals have increasingly used the beach as a haul-out site. — Ashley Mackin ASHLEY MACKIN

Cheers Foundation luncheon salutes ‘Women of Wonder’ BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN he National Cheers Foundation (NCF) hosted its annual Women of Wonder luncheon June 8 at the La Jolla Country Club. Some 70 people were in attendance to help NCF celebrate four years of promoting women’s health. More than $10,000 was raised at the luncheon, which will be used to support medical research, health institutions, advocacy groups, and outreach programs that focus on women. The 2016 grants from the National Cheers Foundation were awarded to Family Health Centers, South Bay Community Centers and Doris A. Howell Foundation for Women’s Health. The silent auction included several idyllic vacation destinations, and a Diamond Draw had guests buying $100 Champagne glasses for the chance to win the one that contained a $2,400 diamond. The event also inaugurated a Cheers Foundation membership program. Prospective sponsors can donate from $500 for a Pearl membership to $25,000 for a Diamond membership, each includes different levels of honors and appreciations. Honoree and guest speaker Dr. Doris Howell, aka San Diego’s “Mother of Hospice Care,” delighted the audience with a talk that turned personal. “I’m going to speak about the men of my life,” she announced,

and she described the events that shaped her long, illustrative life in medicine, through the men that were involved. In one revealing anecdote, Howell spoke of the admissions committee that interviewed her when she tried to get into Harvard Medical School. Skeptical of a woman becoming a physician, one of the admissions officers asked her: “How do we know you are not going to get pregnant?” to which she responded. “I have been fertile for four years and I haven’t gotten pregnant. If I’m not worried, I don’t know why you should be.” Howell highlighted all the career difficulties she went through just because she is a woman. She referred to the presumptive nomination of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party candidate for President, and spoke to every woman in the room: “If you have an ambition, do something! Don’t hold back. The only thing is needed, is hard work.” The Foundation announced its 2016 gala will take place Saturday, Oct. 1 at the La Jolla Country Club with the theme “La Dolce Vita.” NCF President Anseth Richards said the party will include dinner, an auction and a dance night with entertainment by The Zippers.

helpers. I wouldn’t trade that building experience for anything.” Now visitors come to admire the buildings, the stained glass and mosaics, but it’s the Hubbells’ lifestyle that really draws them in. As Ilan Lael’s executive director, Marianne Gerdes, explained on a recent tour of the property: “When Jim wants to do something and can’t do it himself, he brings in students and interns. He helps people find what they love to do, and they learn from him. Every day, he just does what he does: he makes art. He’s so humble and accessible, but he’s a genius, a Pied Piper, and he and Anne open their lives and let the rest of us in. “Jim was building sustainably before it was fashionable, using local materials, and orienting everything to take advantage of light, heating and cooling. They built as they needed and could afford to, and looking at the buildings, you can see his progress as an artist.” In 2008, the original living spaces were designated a historic landmark residence; the three new buildings are all up to code and made of recycled Styrofoam/concrete-composite bricks, which are fire-resistant, lightweight and excellent for insulation. “The new buildings are a staging site, a gathering area,” said Hubbell. “The rest is an art work.” About 800 people are expected at this year’s Open House on June 19. Self-guided tour maps will be distributed, docents will be available to answer any questions, and visitors will be able to get a taste of the “Hubbell-esque” way of life. Stained glass and other Hubbell-made works are available online through June 30.

Terrific cast in new adaption of ‘Hedda’

orgen (Bruce Turk) Tesman’s Aunt Juliane (Christina Soria) enters the empty living room carrying a bouquet of flowers to celebrate her nephew’s recent wedding. The maid, Berte (Rhona Gold), converses with Juliane until Jorgen appears. There’s nothing happier than newlyweds in a cloud of happiness, as are Jorgen and his lovely new wife, Hedda Gabler (Mhari Sandoval). He bounds into the living room to share his happiness with his Aunt and can’t wait for Hedda to join them. When she finally does, the mood chills. Juliane is quite social with Hedda and Jorgen treats her like a princess. But Hedda is obviously unsettled. She moves around the room trying to answer their questions and make small talk, but her demeanor reveals someone who is definitely troubled. Maybe she’s a little annoyed that Jorgen took time on their honeymoon to do some work, since he recently earned a doctorate degree. Before Juliane leaves to visit Jorgen’s other aunt, who is very sick, she embraces Hedda who wiggles out of the hug as if being squeezed by a snake. Jorgen once again dotes on his wife with hugs and bright beaming, which implies she’s his trophy wife. He’s ecstatic when she rubs her abdomen as if

something is already developing within. Hedda, jittery and nervous, looks out the patio door as if expecting company. Soon several friends stop by to congratulate the couple, and Hedda grows more and more ill at ease. The first is Thea Elvsted (Mel House). She is quite nervous and announces she has a problem with no one to help her. When she reveals that Eilert Lovborg (Richard Baird) is back in town, Jorgen is quite excited and proud that Lovborg has finished a book he’s about to publish. Hedda appears somewhat shocked and questions Thea about their relationship. Finally, Thea asks Hedda to keep an eye on Lovborg when he returns. Jorgen goes to his bedroom while the two women have a long conversation; Hedda underestimating Thea’s prominence, and the plot thickens. Soon Judge Brack (Ray Chambers) shows up. Small talk sends him across the room toward Hedda as if he’s going to passionately pick her up in his arms. But he stops short. Then he reveals to Jorgen that the promotion he was looking forward to might go to Lovborg ... After Brack’s departure, Hedda and Jorgen have a conversation that brings up the subject of her gun possession, which alarms

AARON RUMLEY

Hedda Gabler (Mhari Sandoval) and Eilert Lovborg (Richard Baird) have a tense moment in North Coast Repertory Theatre’s world premiere translation of Henrik Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler,’ by Ann Charlotte Harvey, onstage through June 26. Jorgen. But he relaxes as he leaves for a visit with his aunt before his bachelor party that night. Now alone, Hedda heads to the open patio door and fires a shot from her gun threating Judge Brack, who is re-entering the house. Although they talk, Hedda’s behavior suggests she might have known him intimately at one time. After several conversations with Brack, Hedda and Jorgen, Lovborg shows up with his new book, which he offers to leave for Jorgen to read. As Brack and Jorgen leave for the bachelor party, Hedda, Thea and Lovborg stay behind. Their evening evolves into active sparing as

Lovborg becomes upset and secrets from all three threaten all of their lives. Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” was written in 1890 and set in contemporary Norway. It used symbolism to deal with explosive issues to explore the inner lives of the 19th century characters. Hedda is trapped in an unwanted marriage and facing a scandal, so the script is somewhat wordy, but very well performed by this remarkable cast. ■ IF YOU GO: “Hedda Gabbler” runs through June 26 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

ICAM 2016: ‘Mad’ student artists conjure the future It has been a banner year for the Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts (ICAM) major at UCSD BY WILL BOWEN he Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts (ICAM) major at UCSD, has students with one foot in the Visual Arts and the other in Music, and is rooted in computation and new technology. Recently, the department held its year-end “Best of ICAM Show,” an eye-opening, jaw-dropping event that featured gallery projects, installations, music and performance pieces by 29 graduating seniors, all of whom impressed me. Here’s a review: Chloe Lopez will be doing web development for Achieve Internet in San Diego after graduation. She said her long-term goal is to make website use easier for online viewers. Her ICAM project involved the combination of crocheting with computing. She crocheted four enchanting dresses in black and white yarn on her own body, while a video camera recorded her work. Each dress had a surface name like “Do Not Touch,” but an underlying message written in binary black/white yarn code, like “Hold Me.” Chloe’s inspiration for the project was the Jacguard Loom of the late 1800s that predated computers by using punch cards to create garments! Aleesha Anderson, who will be off to work at a summer camp in the Redwoods after graduation, is interested in the idea of play for all ages. She built a sustainable swing. As you swing back and forth, the swing turns a bicycle wheel dynamo, which generates electrical current to power colored lights hung on a canopy above. To complete her project, Aleesha had to learn about carpentry, circuit boards, lighting and electronics. Xi Wang developed a computer program that helps the user become more aware of the encroachment of ongoing global deforestation. As you look at her computer screen, a camera records your face and head, and then starts to grow a tree out of the top of your head. As you emit emotional facial expression, like smiles or frowns, the tree grows and sprouts leaves and flowers! Kathy Huynh completed her fashion design project with help from Coco, her pet turtle. As Coco swam up against her aquarium glass, her paw scratches were turned into colorful art by a sensor that fed data to a computer. The turtle art was then used to make patterns for clothing — like a

turtle shell jacket! Safia Ibrahim scanned real people with an Xbox Kinect sensor to create life-sized 3D Marvel comic-like sculptures in the form of your personal animal deity. Lauren Sharo created a robotic moving installation piece of an alien being; a cross between a plant, like from the sci-fi movie “Day of the Triffids,” and an octopus. It’s made from silicon and moves by way of air pumps and pulleys. The air pumps generate an eerie space age soundscape to accompany the being’s movements. Melissa Chu created an educational video “Candy Craze” parents will want to buy their kids who eat too much sweet stuff. As the gamer captures more candy to eat, he starts to get health problems, like cavities, obesity and diabetes. It’s a game with a lesson! Jeff Lau developed a cell phone application for parents who want to know what their kids are up to (note to FBI and CIA). The application snoops into all the features of a user’s phone and predicts what the user will likely be doing next. Daryl Auclair designed “Emodo Bro,” a self-learning artificial intelligence program where you interact with an imaginary brother or “brobot,” just like you might interact with iPhone’s SIRI. He used three years of Facebook Chat with his little brother as the basis to build the artificial intelligence, which learns from its interactions. Imagine that in the future we will be able to buy programs for virtual interaction with children, siblings, grandparents or significant others! Rebecca Fisher built a dog collar all pet

owners will want. It’s a small white box with buttons in the shape of a paw that hangs from a dog’s neck. You press a button and the dog will talk to you — saying things like “Pet me” or “Can I have a doggie chew?” It’s programmable, so you can have the device say whatever you want. The ICAM visual arts projects presentations, which took place in the Adam Kamil Gallery at Mandeville Center on campus, were followed by presentations by ICAM music students in the Experimental Theater of the Conrad Prebys Music Center. There were two that stood out. The first was by Ulysses Nieto, who first gave a short lecture on female computer voice simulations in the “Post Humanist” era. The “Post Humanist” era, according to Ulysses, has come about because we all now realize that man is not the pinnacle of the pyramid of life, but just one member of the circular ecosystem of all living things. “Post Humanism” is also characterized by a growing equalitarian interface of computer and human intelligence. Ulysses took a program of a female computerized singing voice and enhanced it. He then wrote a song for it to sing, which was so lovely and romantic it made you cry. You just fell in love with the computer! No doubt that in the future there will be singing computer stars instead of Madonnas and Lady Gagas. Perhaps we will also have bands composed of computer musicians? But they will still need a human road manager to set them up for concerts and collect their fees, which will be used to buy spare parts. The final event of the night — two songs

straight out of the future — were sung by Nicolette Valicenti. Her melodic crooning was accompanied by odd sounds that made you think you were attending a concert 100 years in the future! Summing up the ICAM projects, Visual Arts Professor Sheldon Brown remarked that the students were “inventing the future of art and culture.” Amy Alexander, also an instructor, added that “the future has always been invented by mad artists.” “There are no more men going to the moon,” said Amy. “No more Concorde flights. Steve Jobs of Apple, the last great maverick inventor, has died ... but we still have these ICAM students who represent the resurgence of the creative spirit that characterized the great mad pioneers and inventors of the past, like the Wright Brothers. The ICAM students will create the things that the big corporations and the think tanks can no longer provide.”

Did You Know? Seven most common mistakes when applying sunscreen!

The good news: You’re putting sunscreen on yourself and your kids. The bad news: You might be doing it all wrong. ■ Mistake 1: Relying on sunscreen alone for sun protection. Sunscreen can help protect your skin from sun damage, but it should never be your first or only line of defense. Do this instead: Along with applying sunscreen, cover your skin with protective clothing, hats and sunglasses, stay in the shade as much as possible and stay indoors during peak midday sun. Visit ewg.org (Environmental Working Group) for more tips. ■ Mistake 2: Choosing a sunscreen with potentially toxic ingredients. Common sunscreen ingredients may do more harm than good. Oxybenzone, a synthetic estrogen, can disrupt the hormone system. Retinyl palmitate, or vitamin A, may actually cause damage to skin exposed to the sun. Another ingredient to look out for: methylisothiazolinone (MI), a potent allergen, has been linked to painful rashes.

Do this instead: Search ewg.org for a product that fits your family’s needs, and choose a sunscreen with zinc or titanium dioxide as the active ingredient. ■ Mistake 3: Not applying enough. Chances are, you’re not applying enough sunscreen. Product testers apply a surprisingly thick coat to the skin to determine its SPF — the equivalent of a family using up a four-ounce bottle in just two hours outdoors. Applying less means you won’t get the protection advertised. Do this instead: Slather it on! For adults, dermatologists recommend a minimum of one ounce to cover exposed skin, or more depending on your body size. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places like your ears and scalp (for kids who refuse to wear hats). Use a lip balm or lipstick with SPF as well. Lotions will coat your skin in the most uniform way. Avoid aerosol sprays, which don’t coat skin evenly. ■ Mistake 4: Not reapplying. Think one coat lasts all day? Think again. Sunscreens absorb into the skin and lose effectiveness over time, especially in water. Do this instead: Reapply at least every two hours, or after swimming or sweating, says the American Academy of Dermatology. And read the directions on your sunscreen’s label for more guidance. “Water resistant” sunscreens work for up to 40 minutes in water; “very water resistant” ones work up to 80. ■ Mistake 5: Too high SPF. In this case, more isn’t better. Research indicates that high SPF sunscreens (greater than 50+) mislead people into thinking they are more protected from sun damage than they really are, and offer a poor balance between UVA and UVB protection. That’s just part of the reason SPF values are capped at 50+ in Europe, Australia, Canada and Japan. Do this instead: Stick with sunscreens with SPF values no higher than 50. And remember: high SPF is no excuse to prolong your time in the sun. ■ Mistake 6: Applying sunscreen when you’re already outdoors. Sunscreen takes approximately 15 minutes to absorb into your skin. If you’re already exposed to sun when applying it, harmful rays are already hitting your skin. Do this instead: Get a head start. Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before you and your family will be exposed to sunlight. Allow additional time with kids to avoid transferring the sunscreen to the carseat or stroller. ■ Mistake 7: Using an old, separated or expired sunscreen. As sunscreens age, or repeatedly heat and cool (think: home cabinet to poolside, then back again), the formulation can separate or clump in its container. When this happens, the sunscreen won’t coat your skin in the thick or even way that’s necessary for proper skin protection. Do this instead: Shake sunscreens before applying, discard products after their expiration date and store sunscreens at an even temperature whenever possible (for example, in your bag instead of a hot car). Sunscreens generally last about three years, the amount of time the Food and Drug Administration requires them to retain their original effectiveness. Toss any product if it clumps or if the oil separates from the lotion.
