New executive director for Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial National recognition to be sought for site BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON For the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial Association, the hiring of new executive director Tim Chelling marks the beginning of a new era — not one of lawsuits and controversy as in years past, but one of national recognition and appreciation. And Chelling has his sights set on getting the Mt. Soledad Memorial on par with other great war memorials. “This Memorial salutes living and

deceased veterans, which is unique. It is about the stories of these veterans, it’s not just a standard memorial ... you can feel the presence of these people when you go up there,” he said. “The last count is that there are 4,535 plaques up there. All those plaques are stories and you could spend hours reading them, and that’s what the Memorial is about. It’s not about controversy or church-and-state litigation, it’s about veterans and the military.” The Mt. Soledad Memorial was in the depths of litigation for almost 30 years, with groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union

(ACLU) arguing that the large, white cross associated with it, should be removed from government-owned property because it endorsed one religion over another. However, in July 2015, the Department of Defense sold its half-acre parcel to the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association. When the sale was complete, the property on which the Memorial and cross sit became private, nullifying the argument. “Now we’re looking at taking this COURTESY to the next level, including national recognition for what is really a Tim Chelling is the new executive spectacular and incredible Memorial,” director of Mt. Soledad National SEE MT. SOLEDAD, A27 Veterans Memorial Association.

Pinpoint Café opens under helm of Comenale sisters

ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

Caroline and Aline Comenale, co-owners of Pinpoint Cafe at 7855 Ivanhoe Ave. Next to the counter is a Little Lending Library, where patrons can take a book and leave a book.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON At the start of this year, sisters Aline and Caroline Comenale assumed ownership of the coffee kiosk near the La Jolla Post Office (across Ivanhoe Avenue) formerly known as Latte by the Sea. Among the changes to the java joint, now called Pinpoint Café, the Comenales added smoothies and Açaí bowls to their menu, as well as pastries from VG Donuts in Cardiff. They have also added a Little Lending Library that encourages patrons to take a book, and if possible, replace it with a different book. Aline explained, “We’ve noticed that La Jolla is changing, so we wanted to change things up here without losing the La Jolla charm. We redesigned the front of the cart and added wood accents, and with the leftover wood, we made the lending library. We have this vision of our cart being a place where people come, grab a cup of coffee, pick up a book, read for a little bit and hang out.” The two worked at Brick & Bell Café for seven years, which is where they say they developed a passion for coffee and working with people. Caroline said, “We as business owners are super personal, we try to know all our customers by name and drink order. We want to make friends with our customers, and we want this to be a community hangout.” The current hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. but given the number of people waiting for the cart to open in the mornings, the sisters are considering opening earlier. Find more details at pinpointcafe.com “I worked in other areas of San Diego, and I feel like the community here is special,” Caroline said. “It’s easy to get to know people. We have tourists, but our regular customers make the job rewarding.”

Traffic board debates stop sign on Draper Avenue Abrams: ‘Putting stop signs where they don’t belong is a bad idea’

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON A request for a stop sign on Draper Avenue spurred a larger discussion at the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation (LJT&T) meeting June 21, to encompass traffic calming in La Jolla, the perceived haste to jump to a stop sign and why a new sign is not always the best solution. At issue is a group of Draper Avenue residents requesting a stop sign to slow speedy drivers on what they call “The Draper Freeway” around Arenas Street. Per City policy, when the request was made, the intersection was evaluated and traffic engineers found it did not merit additional stop signs (there are currently two stop signs at Arenas Street). Nevertheless, Andrea Russell, representing the residents, pleaded

Andrea Russell, representing the Draper Avenue residents seeking traffic calming, reads a statement at the meeting.

LJT&T trustee Nancy Warwick speaks to why stop signs are not necessarily the best way to slow traffic.

for “desperately needed” traffic calming. “Many neighbors on the (affected) portion have given the area the nickname ‘Draper Freeway.’ This nickname jokingly exhibits the speed and hazard that our residential street has become, but this is no joking matter. Someone is going to get seriously injured on that street,” she said. Acknowledging the City determined a stop sign was not warranted, Russell drew upon City Council policy 200-08, which provides

an alternative process. LJT&T chair Dave Abrams paraphrased, “If the criteria is not satisfied upon the re-evaluation, then a community planning group may hold a public hearing to discuss the matter. If the community planning group votes to support the stops signs, then a City Council member may request that the City Manager either install or request the stop signs or submit a report to the City Council discussing why the signs

are not recommended.” Hopeful that this alternative would work, Russell read a written statement about the situation, and cited the high pedestrian and bicycle activity on the street (especially from nearby La Jolla High School and the La Jolla Christian Fellowship on Genter Street), as reasons the board should support the proposal. She said she posted a petition online that 41 people reportedly signed, and many posted supportive comments. Empathetic to her concerns, the board discussed why a stop sign is not the most effective way to slow the traffic. “It’s my view, putting stop signs where they don’t belong is a bad idea,” Abrams said. “There is a reason the City recommends against it and it can create more safety hazards than it solves. We share your sentiments about creating safe streets for our community, and, when speeding is an issue, it should be addressed. But stop signs are not always the right means.” LJT&T trustee Nancy Warwick added, “Stop signs seem to be the go-to solution for residents when there is a problem with speeding. But studies show it can be a hazard if the stop sign is seen by drivers as unwarranted. If drivers think it shouldn’t be there, there is an increase of rolling through it or ignoring it completely. Some findings even show that drivers will speed up to make up for lost time between stop signs.” Russell said she and other residents are not “tethered” to the idea of a stop sign, but hope that some alternative form of traffic

The end of Playa del Norte is painted to show parking is prohibited here, but residents are seeking a clearer deterrence method. calming could be implemented. Conventional alternatives include: a traffic choker, roundabouts, speed bumps, speed “cushions” (more subtle) and crosswalks. A motion to deny the stop sign addition passed, but the board agreed to ask the City to investigate alternative traffic calming based on the information at hand.

In other T&T news: ■ Parking deterrence on Playa Del Norte: To solve a compounded problem of illegal parking and adolescent gatherings, a proposal to add parking deterrence methods to the end of Playa Del Norte at Neptune Place was approved. The affected area is red-curbed and white stripes are painted on the street to indicate that

parking is prohibited. However, large trucks and cars often park there, blocking views for pedestrians and drivers on the windy road. Further, teens often gather there and residents have reported vandalism and mischief as a result. ■ New member: Replacing John Kassar, La Jolla Shores resident Daryl Tshirn was seated as the newest LJT&T board member. ■ Taste at The Cove: Temporary No Parking, associated with the 16th annual Taste at The Cove fundraiser, Aug. 31 at Scripps Park, was approved. A portion of Coast Boulevard will be closed to accommodate the loading and unloading of equipment. The No Parking rule is also in effect the night before. Learn more at tasteatthecove.com ■ Church festival: A request to close

A truck illegally parked at the end of Playa del Norte. Draper Avenue between Silverado and Kline streets as part of the 4th annual La Jolla Presbyterian Church Fall Festival, Sunday Nov. 5 was approved. This will be the second year the street is closed. The event will feature food trucks and/or booths from local restaurants with tables and chairs on Draper Avenue, with activities at the Church and Rec Center across the street. Requesting the closure, Church rep Erika Hill said the three neighbors most affected — La Jolla Woman’s Club, St. James by-the-Sea Church and The Bed & Breakfast Inn at La Jolla — are all in support. Learn more at ljpres.org ■ Burgers and Brews: After a brief presentation, temporary No Parking associated with the Burgers & Brews fundraiser was also approved. La Jolla Village

COURTESY

Merchants Association vice president Brett Murphy requested five parking spaces be reserved for those being dropped off at the Oct. 28 event. He explained the event would be associated with the Breeders’ Cup thoroughbred horse races at the Del Mar track, Nov. 3-4, and would bring racing fans to La Jolla. The event would also raise money for the La Jolla-based BraveCort Foundation for pediatric cancer research. When heard at La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group last month, the board withheld a vote until LJT&T could weigh-in. The proposal was heard again at the La Jolla Parks & Beaches meeting June 26. — La Jolla Traffic & Transportation next meets 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 19 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Murfey family works on 38th year for Bird Rock Parade T his year’s Bird Rock 4th of July Parade, “Tiki Time,” will be a South Pacific-inspired event. Registration and float entry is at Beaumont Avenue and Camino de la Costa at 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday, July 4, with a shotgun parade start at 10 a.m. Trophies will be awarded to the best floats and parade participants. “Show up early! Bring your Hawaiian shirt and let’s Hula,” said Scott Murfey, who with his brother Russ Murfey, of Murfey Company, is working to coordinate the activities. “The Fourth of July parade is a great opportunity to connect with old friends, families and neighbors as it heads down Beaumont Avenue,” said Russ Murfey. “For us, there is the obvious personal connection to the parade, but more importantly is what it means to the community as a whole.” Started in 1980 by Barbara and Buddy Murfey (Scott and Russ’ parents) alongside other Bird Rock parents, the parade initially consisted of just a few families and has grown ever since. This year, in addition to the parade, there will be food, carnival games and photo booths at the end of the parade, in the Methodist Church parking lot. Despite moving full steam ahead, volunteers and donations are still needed. People interested in supporting the Bird Rock Fourth of July Parade can go to gofundme.com/2017birdrockparade to make an online donation. For more information, contact Russ Murfey, russ@murfeycompany.com (858) 459-6865.

FROM JULY 4TH, A1 Volunteers and donations are still needed for the Beaumont Avenue Fourth of July Parade. Got questions? E-mail russ@murfeycompany.com ■ Barber Tract parade: The community is invited to wear red-white-and-blue clothing, decorate their bikes, put a ribbon on Fido, bring instruments and walk the annual Barber Tract celebration route. Participants will gather at 10 a.m. in front of 7235 Monte Vista Ave. to march around the neighborhood from there. Snacks and lemonade follow. ■ The Really Big Show: Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, the Fourth of July Fireworks show is set for 9 p.m. at La Jolla Cove. Gather at Ellen Browning Scripps Park for the free and open-to-the-public display. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early to get a perfect spot. Further, several La Jolla retailers and restaurants are hosting ticketed viewings. ■ San Diego Fireworks: In case you can’t be in La Jolla that night, the San Diego Big Bay Boom Fourth of July fireworks show also starts at 9 p.m. over San Diego Bay. Fireworks are launched from four barges around the Bay, and can be seen from Shelter Island, Harbor Island, North Embarcadero, Marina District and Coronado Ferry Landing. Note: Camping not allowed! It may be tempting to camp out the day/night before to ensure a great viewing spot, but camping in La Jolla’s parks is illegal. In the last few years, in the late night hours before the holiday, cars arrive “in heavy, heavy numbers” and tents are set up. Police are working to deter/control the illegal camp sites. The rule is, overnight camping in an enclosed tent — considered such when all four “walls” are down — is illegal in the park.

La Jollans: Airplane noise is a systemic problem People still struggling with reporting systems

COURTESY

Graph showing the early right turns over Mission Beach and La Jolla. According to Airport data, 62 percent of them stayed within 1,500 feet of the noise dot, 19 percent are due to pilot deviation or equipment error and 15 percent are pending investigation.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN At the June 21 Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) meeting — the first since the La Jolla Town Council formed a task force to find solutions to the increase in aircraft noise over the area — representative Matthew Price said the latest data presented reveals “this negative impact is a systemic problem, not just because of early right turns.” Early right turns by pilots, especially those occurring after 10:30 p.m. have been cited as some of the most complained-about noise situations because these late night flights are at a low altitude over La Jolla. At the meeting, Airport Authority noise mitigation specialist Caroline Becker reported that 53 percent of the complaints received were from the La Jolla area, coming from 55 different households. Point Loma resident Martha Gonzalez said, “La Jolla is complaining the most because they’ve got the noise effects now; people in Point Loma, we’re exhausted. We see the planes fly very low, we don’t get any feedback (from airport officials) and we haven’t seen much action. I don’t know how to encourage them to fix this.” The data from the months of April and May reflects a 32 percent decrease in the amount of complaints filed. However, Gillian Ackland of Bird Rock pointed out,

The Airnoise App ■ Created by La Jollan Chris McCann, the Airnoise App offers a service to simplify making noise complaints to the Airport Authority. ■ Half of the complaints logged in April and May, came via the Airnoise app ■ Learn more at airnoise.io ■ To submit a complaint to the airport, visit: flighttracker.casper.aero/san “I’ve stopped making complaints, which is part of the 32 percent decrease. It’s not a decrease in noise, people are still trying to figure out what to do and how to get through,” referring to the new computer-based system to log complaints, Flight Tracker, which replaced Webtrack in April. For Lower Hermosa resident Tony Stiegler, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) failed to conduct an “appropriate analysis” of the impacts the implementation of its operation system NextGen on people’s lives. “We need to petition the FAA to roll back this NextGen, and take these flights back offshore.” Ackland agreed. “I’d like you to look at new procedures,” she said, “and see why are we not using the ocean (taking flights further west). It’s been used in San Francisco and it can certainly be used here. SEE AIRPLANE NOISE, A12

Lisa and Raul Albanez pose in front of their recently designated ‘historical’ house on Camino de la Costa.

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Lower Hermosa landmark designated ‘historical’ BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A Spanish Eclectic home built in 1927 at 5805 Camino de la Costa was designated “historical” by the San Diego Historical Resources Board (HRB) during its June 22 meeting under the name “Charlotte Gray Barnum House.” The designation process started in 2016 when owners Raul and Lisa Albanez filed an application with the City to see their house appointed “historical.” “It really took a village to designate this house,” Raul told La Jolla Light. The item was first docketed for review in November 2016, when City staff recommended the Lower Hermosa house not be designated for “lack of integrity.” (City staff makes recommendations to the HRB, whose members have the last word as to what gets designated locally). At that time, the item was continued to

Airport Planning & Noise Mitigation program manager Sjohnna Knack spoke of the app created by ANAC subcommittee member Chris McCann, a resident of La Jolla. “Some of the data coming in from that app is not too useful to us,” she said. In a post-meeting e-mail to La Jolla Light, Knack said 30 percent of the complaints coming from the Airnoise app are blank and don’t identify an airplane because the app lacks a fill-in field for “reason” for the complaint. As previously reported by the Light, the Airnoise app uses the same system as Flight Tracker to identify the airplane that’s generating discomfort for the user, and sends detailed information to the Airport Authority. On that topic, Knack said, “The complaints received from this app are inconsistent in providing accurate and relevant detail.” La Jollan Beatriz Pardo, a user of the Airnoise button said, “I know that there are some glitches, however, those can be worked out and it would benefit ANAC if you worked together (with McCann) so people could let you know what’s happening.” Although Airport staff repeatedly praised the new Flight Tracker system and the time they had freed to analyze data (rather than having to manually input complaints), members of the public and ANAC board members admitted to not being able to use Flight Tracker. “As someone who grew up with computers, I haven’t been able to get my settings set up in Flight Tracker. How can an octogenarian from La Jolla do this?” Price asked. Knack added that many noise complaints, some of which came from the Airnoise app, belonged to other airports. “We do reach out to Montgomery Field, we have a good point of contact… we (even) had a worry that military trainees were flying low over La Jolla.” But, for Pardo, that’s a secondary concern. “Except for some empty spots (in my report), all the aircraft I cited came from San Diego Airport,” she said. — Airport Noise Advisory Committee subcomittee next meets Wednesday, July 19 at San Diego Airport Authority offices in Liberty Station. bit.ly/anacmeetings

Permitters approve four-building complex, seawall fix BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Three projects obtained approval at the June 20 meeting of La Jolla Development Permit Review (DPR) committee: Seawall maintenance to stabilize the cliffs under Calumet Street in the Bird Rock area, a development plan to demolish an existing 13-unit apartment building and construct four buildings for five single-family residences in its place, and a minor addition and repair to a residence

on Monte Vista Avenue. After a bluff failure seven years ago, the owners of 5322 Calumet Ave. built an emergency erodible concrete wall to prevent further damage to their property. Adjacent to the lot sits a paper street (a public right-of-way that exists on City maps, but not in physical reality) that’s designated by the La Jolla Community Plan as a “View Corridor.” Now, said geologist Robert Hawk, the unimproved street is being eroded. “This

winter we measured about six feet of erosion since the wall was built (in 2010) — about 10 inches of erosion a year,” he explained. Applicant Tom Story added, “The property owner is proposing to the City that at his own expense, we would come in and stabilize this portion.” The proposal involves reinforcing the lower third of the 39-foot-tall bluff with erodible concrete. “If we don’t do this small project now, the one in the future will be

Asked how long the seawall is expected to last, Hawk replied, “10 to 20 years, (but) we’re in a time of rising sea levels, and that’s going to affect the seawall. … The erodible concrete continues to erode like the bluff.” Neighbors’ concerns expressed in the preliminary review of the project on June 13, included project duration and construction nuisances. Story said the estimated construction duration was four to six weeks, and he agreed to do pre-construction notification to neighbors and indemnifying homeowners if property damage occurs.

Joe LaCava, “but we continue to feel that the separate buildings are a better fit for the neighborhood.” Also, as he stated in the preliminary review, the detached units are a more marketable product and therefore more “financially feasible.” DPR board member Angeles Leira said, “I look at the character of the neighborhood and in that particular area (there’s a lot of detached units), so I don’t feel as strongly over the spaces between the buildings as I have in other projects.” LaCava continued, “The last (committee) proposal was to modify building D, saying it was a little blunt in the articulation, so we added a trellis to break up the facade of that building. (That was a) great suggestion, you can really see how that enhances the building.”

Five Playa del Sur units

Monte Vista Ave. remodel/addition

A project to demolish a 13-unit apartment building and construct four detached structures for five residential units at 290 Playa del Sur was approved. The architectural design by Daniel Linn shows three, three-bedroom single-family residences, and a fourth structure divided into a 380-square-foot studio and a two-bedroom single-family residence. The three-story buildings include a garage on the first floor, with underground carports accessed through a lift, adding up to a total of 14 parking spaces on-site. The exteriors are painted wood-siding, alternating garage and front door on each street (the lot is framed by one-way streets Playa del Norte on the north and Playa del Sur on the south). During the preliminary review, DPR members commented on the three-foot building separation, asking the applicant to consider either building one big structure or adding separation by reducing the square footage of the residences. “We reflected on that,” replied applicant

A project to construct a 192-square-foot addition and modify the site retaining walls of an existing duplex residence at 7404 Monte Vista Ave. was approved unanimously. The addition will contribute a music room to the residence. A new basement is also in the plans.

Condo conversion

After second review, permitters decided to table a plan to convert two existing single-family residences into condominium properties at 7209 and 7211 La Jolla Blvd. DPR board members were surprised when applicant Beth Reiter presented photographs that included a staircase that wasn’t on the original map. Reiter pledged to come back at a later meeting with the architect to answer committee members’ questions. — DPR next meets 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 11 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. bit.ly/planningagendas

Kurt Iuli-Kinsey, a successful realtor who recently affiliated with Coldwell Banker, has developed a fun, campy show which highlights La Jolla businesses and personalities that are quintessentially La Jollan. “We live in such a phenomenal small town,” Iuli-Kinsey said. “I’ve lived in a lot of places in my life and have never before experienced a town that runs so generationally deep.” Of course, when you grow up in such a special place, it would be very hard to leave. Iuli-Kinsey has lived in La Jolla for nine years and has truly enjoyed meeting many great people throughout the community. That is exactly why he came up with La Jolla’s Man About Town. “La Jolla offers almost every type of business, so much so you never have to leave to find something,” Iuli-Kinsey said. “ I wanted to showcase our local businesses, and the people you see every day on the streets who make their living in La Jolla. I am a big advocate of small business. Man About Town gave me the vehicle to promote other businesses while engaging with my community.” Iuli-Kinsey has been in real estate since 1987 and is a second generation real estate broker. Most of his career was spent with RE/MAX where he has consistently ranked in the top 1 percent of Realtors, based on production since 1990. Iuli-Kinsey recently gave up his 45-minute-to-an-hour daily commute to Carlsbad and moved over to Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in La Jolla. “Being less than one mile from my home to office just added 10 more years to my life...I hope” said Iuli- Kinsey. In addition to his years of experience, Iuli-Kinsey acquired his Graduate of the Realtors Institute Designation and went through an extensive course and is certified by the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (CHLMS). If you were to ask Iuli-Kinsey his strengths as a broker, he would tell you that he is extremely proficient in the real estate contract and has a unique approach to marketing which makes him different than most Realtors. He also takes the time to listen to his buyers’ and sellers’ needs and prides himself on helping them achieve their goals in a timely manner. On a personal note, Iuli-Kinsey is married to Jason and they have two boys that attend La Jolla Elementary school. Jason is a coach at Bishop’s and, in their free time, they love to travel, go to the beach, enjoy new restaurants and entertain at home.

La Jolla’s Missing Land Survey Markers

Mapmaker on a quest to prevent litigation by homeowners

Land surveyor Michael Pallamary points to one of few survey monuments found on Kearsarge Road in Ludington Heights. In the small picture, an original Ludington Heights survey monument is marked by a small tack on a hole drilled on the ground and filled with lead. ‘They’re called ludintacks,’ Pallamary said.

MODERN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN La Jollan Michael Pallamary says survey monuments in some of the oldest La Jolla subdivisions have disappeared, making the job of land surveyors (such as himself) harder. Survey monuments, also called survey markers, are objects placed in the ground as benchmarks to determine property lines, elevations or horizontal positions. Ludington Heights and the Muirlands — which are among La Jolla’s oldest subdivisions dating back almost a century — are missing some of these markers. “Curbs, gutters and sidewalks, hard-fixed concrete improvements are really clear delimiters that help us have a good understanding of where the limit (between properties) is,” Pallamary explained. “Some of the most valuable property is in Ludington Heights and the Muirlands, and those neighborhoods have peculiarities — there’s no curbs, gutters nor sidewalks.” On June 22, Pallamary took La Jolla Light on a field trip through Kearsarge Road, a 20-foot-wide street with no sidewalk, curb or gutter. “We just passed five homes on each side of the street, let’s say they are $3 million homes. We went through $30 million worth of property just on this stretch, and no one knows where they are,” he said, referring to the lack of markers on that stretch of Kearsarge Road.

LA JOLLA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

A historical photograph shows the location of the house at 5805 Camino de la Costa in the original Lower Hermosa subdivision. FROM HISTORICAL HOME, A12 designation. “Our neighbors came forward to give us information, a lot of different folks helped us,” Lisa explained. As to why they decided to start the long path for historical designation, Raul said, “When we first bought it (in 2013) we learned it was a very special house, one of the first built in Lower Hermosa.” Lisa added, “We fell in love with it, it’s a beautiful home in a great neighborhood. And, of course the (Mills Act) tax break (that aids owners of historical structures in maintaining them) helps.” The historical research stated that 5805 Camino de la Costa was one of the first 12 houses to be constructed in the Lower Hermosa subdivision. “La Jolla Hermosa was La Jolla’s first planned residential community,” it reads, “In contrast to the small vacation cottages built in the Barber Tract, or in the La Jolla Village, La Jolla Hermosa was oriented toward year-round residents.” However, the City staff recommendation doesn’t acknowledge the significance of the home’s early existence in the neighborhood. An excerpt reads: “The Addendum does not demonstrate how the subject property is unique among the other 12 first constructed in the subdivision, nor does it justify how being one of the first 12 would necessarily make it more significant than the first or one of any other quantity within the subdivision.” On that matter, LJHS executive director Heath Fox told the Light, “It’s unique in the sense that its location astrides La Jolla Boulevard and marks the southern entry point of the neighborhood into the boulevard. It has been the anchor for the neighborhood since it as built in 1927.” Still, City staff did not relent. “The

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Lisa and Raul Albanez at their ‘historic’ Camino de la Costa home property’s location at the southern entrance to the subdivision alone does not amount to significance,” its report continues. “Furthermore, to propose that the property is also a special element based upon its function as an ‘architectural landmark’ would require the building maintain a high degree of architectural integrity, yet the building has been subject to numerous alterations that have directly impacted its integrity of design, materials, workmanship and feeling.” The Albanez’s said the additions, constructed in the 1980s by previous a owner, amount to a total of 400 square feet. “The family room was pushed out, and to the bathroom was added some space,” Lisa elaborated. City staff argued that the location of the additions on the façade isn’t in concordance with the Secretary of Interior Standards of the State of California, the document used for reference in such cases. “There was no other space for additions,” Lisa said, mentioning the semi-circular corner shape of the lot, with more exposed façade than the average house. “And (previous owners) kept the additions within the Spanish Eclectic style,” Raul noted.

Industry leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at California Bicycle, 7462 La Jolla Blvd. on June 22 to shed light on rider visibility issues.

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

It’s All About Safety

Cycling experts say ‘ride with lights’ day and night BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Independent bicycle dealers, industry representatives and bike advocates attended the Rider Safety Visibility Summit, hosted by California Bicycle, Inc. at 7462 La Jolla Blvd. on June 22. Together, they drove a message home: To increase road visibility, bicyclists need to use lights for both day and night rides. NiteRider sales manager Mike Ely, whose mantra is “Lights, lights, lights, no matter what,” told the group, “six or seven years

ago, while riding to work one morning, I saw an automobile, a motorcycle and a bike … two of the vehicles had lights on. The bicycle did not.” That’s why he’s dedicated the last few years to persuading cyclists that having and using lights can make a difference in the safety of a ride. “We need to arm ourselves with whatever we can to be a little more noticeable on the roads. It just takes that second — when you pop out of the environment, not blend in with the environment — to not be hit,” Ely

continued. Former La Jolla politician and bike enthusiast Nathan Fletcher, added, “It’s a cultural change; it’s hard and it takes time, however, just like the cultural change to wear seatbelts in a car and helmets on a bike, it’s possible.” Still, Skii Fleeton-Essenfeld, program coordinator for the San Diego County Bike Coalition, interjected, “That’s fantastic, however, in San Diego we know the best way to keep people riding bikes is infrastructure.

At the bike summit, sports industry consultant Edward Clancy demonstrated products that could advance visibility. For example, a Bluetooth-activated helmet with lights and blinkers to let other vehicles know where the cyclist plans to turn next, light-reflecting sweatshirts and jackets, and a rub-on that makes the skin shine in light. Bike shop owner Bob Bandhauer said during the day, the most important thing a cyclist can have is a bright, blinking front light. “The rear light (although recommended), is not quite as important in the daytime,” he said. He recommended LED lights around the wheels and the bike frame for night rides. “Your wheels are lit up (and

motorists) can see you from every angle. They cost $10-$12 per wheel installed.” Another bike shop owner, Brent Garrigus, said he’s been fighting the battle solo to get bicyclists to wear lights for many years. “Now, if we can get the bike shop owners to work as a group, we can use that leverage with the larger (bike) clubs and say, ‘We’ll only sponsor your club if you have all people who join ride with front and back lights on, all day long,’ ” he said.

Distracted Driving

“Lights are great, we sell them all day long, but there’s a bigger factor; distracted drivers,” Garrigus continued. “The big thing is text messaging. We have customers who won’t ride (because they don’t feel safe),” he said. “If the ticket for texting and driving was $2,000, it would stop.” Circling back to the meeting’s first point, Fletcher offered, “No light is going to solve the whole thing, but if everyone was more visible, it would help.”

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Experts say: Leave fireworks to the pros The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports on Independence Day in a typical year, fireworks account for two out of five of all reported U.S. fires, more than any other cause of fire. On average each year, fireworks start 18,500 fires, including 1,300 structure fires, 300 vehicle fires, and 16,900 outside and other fires. These fires cause an annual average of three deaths, 40 civilian injuries, and $43 million in direct property damage. That’s why NFPA encourages leaving fireworks to the professionals. “Each year, thousands of people are injured from using consumer fireworks,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “Even sparklers, which are often thought of as harmless enough for children to hold, burn at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and can cause significant injuries. … Knowing the harm fireworks inflict each year, particularly among young people, we urge everyone to leave fireworks to the professionals who are trained to safely put on spectacular displays. It is by far the safest way to enjoy them.” For more information about the hazards of consumer fireworks, visit nfpa.org/education

Beware of heat-related health ailments The National Weather Service has an

excessive heat advisory for San Diego County, and to reduce the effects of the heat, suggest drinking water, avoiding outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day and not leaving children or pets in parked cars. But extreme heat conditions are especially dangerous for seniors, young children and people with chronic illness. Many of these health concerns strike without warning, and aren’t easy to anticipate. Some lesser known heat-related health issues include: Atrial Fibrillation, irregular heartrate; heat rash; heat edema, swelling in the ankles and/or feet; loss of consciousness; heat stroke; depression.

Three cases of assault in La Jolla since June 11 Three cases of assault were reported in La Jolla recently, including a case of elder abuse and a victim being struck in the head by a thrown object. A battery was reported at 2:45 p.m. June 11 on the 500 block of Marine Street. Police said the elderly victim was “grabbed by the arm and the suspect shook her. A case was written up and Adult Protection Services was contacted.” In the second incident, a battery with serious bodily injury was reported at 12:30 p.m. June 19 on the 200 block of Prospect Street. During the incident, the suspect grabbed and squeezed the victim’s forearm, causing “minor pain” according to police, and the victim wanted the suspect placed

under citizen’s arrest. A third battery case was reported at 4:15 p.m. June 20 on the 7400 block La Jolla Boulevard. The suspect threw objects at the victim and “struck him in the head causing him to bleed,” police report. No one is in custody at this time.

Man seen casing residence on Via Capri Police report that a suspect known to the homeowner was seen trying door handles, looking into windows and looking for a hidden key on a front porch around 9:40 p.m. June 19 on the 7700 block Via Capri. No one is in custody at this time.

A L O N G W AY F RO M ‘ H O ME’ — This sea lion spent the weekend at WindanSea Beach resting on a rock a good distance away from where the sea lions are typically spotted at La Jolla Cove. La Jollans have long worried that the sea lions will not be contained to The Cove and will eventually migrate to all the other beaches in town.

While surfing on a wave one day, a little seal came by. He said “I wish to speak with you, I think I am going to die. My home is on the soft, white sand away from the crashing sea. But now we have so multiplied, there’s scarcely room to land. Each day we travel farther still searching for our daily bread. I use up all my energy yet never get my fill.” Said I, “You must quickly search and find an island in the sea, where food is once more bountiful and in a narrow space confined, there you and all the pinniped nation can live without the haunting fear of death by slow starvation.” — Jim Watters, M.D.

A summer ode to La Jolla Back in the mid-1980s I wrote a poem about La Jolla, and just came across it in a file box. I thought that if you wanted to publish it in your newspaper, you are welcome to do so.

City of Paradise: La Jolla

A place with neither fear nor evil, only beauty, always tranquil.

A place without wars, instead, velvet layers of stars. Glittering palaces on the ground, bejeweled splendor all around. Daytime seas of aquamarine, lawns in myriad tones of green. Evenings with a magical moon, enchantment at the end of June. Nights filled with endless romance, and scents of jasmine fragrance. A place few have seen, a mid-summer night’s dream. A place to feast your eyes, this City of Paradise. — Linda Mosvick

It’s time the City stops neglecting La Jolla Would you please consider doing an article on the awful state of our roads in La Jolla? We have so many potholes and the other day, after driving for six hours from Solvang to La Jolla, we hit a pothole coming up the hill from Country Club Drive to the corner of Romero and Brodiaea, and got a flat on a tire we had replaced a week previous. The pothole was caused by the large trucks the City had working in our neighborhood the past few weeks. Despite numerous alerts to City officials, our streets in the Country Club area have not been paved in over 30 years! This includes Encelia Drive, as well. Even though we love La Jolla and still consider

it a “jewel,” the City needs to spend more time keeping it clean and repaired to proper conditions. Adding to the problem are the issues of panhandlers and homeless people, and the water conditions at The Cove (high levels of bacteria), and the stench at The Cove. The beaches need to be cleaned up so the humans who live in and visit La Jolla can enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The sea life will find a new place to go if we eliminate their presence from the rocks at The Cove. Despite the taxes that La Jollans pay to the City of San Diego for its services, we do not seem to get proper help in dealing with the issues of La Jolla. Lisa Casey

‘Scenic Drive’ area isn’t so scenic, these days The section from North Torry Pines Road going south on La Jolla Shores Drive to Azul Street is totally overlooked by the La Jolla Town Council and/or San Diego City Council District 1 representative. An earlier airing of comments concerning the “most traveled streets of La Jolla” never mentioned the immense traffic on this road known as “The Scenic Drive.” It is far from that these days. I noticed that the City placed signs on either side of the street near La Jolla Farms Road/Azul reading “Pedestrians,” and also marked the street “PED Crossing” with zebra stripes to help with slowing traffic down. With the exception

OPINION

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) of a few motorists, this is a freeway — especially with motor bikes. Even the buses see a straight stretch and will accelerate. An engineer in the traffic division certainly could have added a couple more “PED Crossings” down the street toward Azul Street and Ellentown Road. People are walking on both sides of this street. The road has not been surfaced for a long time. I sprained my ankle at the curbside where it meets my driveway. The surface (rocks and tar) is crumbling. When approached, City officials say that new pipelines will be installed and they don’t wish to tear the street open until then. It has been years since we were told this. Well, so much for that. The corner of North Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Shores Drive southbound has a small sign on the right side that reads “No turn on red.” Another such sign is a little below the traffic signal and hardly noticeable. Several times, I barely avoided a collision turning left on the green arrow that allows one to enter La Jolla Shores Drive (southbound), while a motorist not paying attention to the sign, turned right. There should be a bigger sign for such blind drivers to see. I’m sure it happens many times a day. This area also has a total lack of cosmetic appeal. Out of 10 homes on the east side of the street, only three are occupied by the owners. The rest are student rentals. Some leave their trash bins out for days. Some put them out on Friday afternoons for the Monday morning collection. Across the street to the south is a Eucalyptus tree. I love trees and wish no harm to any of them. However, there is no pruning and trimming here. The leaves are

scattered everywhere — half over the street and in my gutter and driveway, along with the bark scales. This has been a nightmare for a long time. Any stormy weather presents a danger of this tree toppling over and smashing into two houses. Who is responsible? The sidewalk on the west side is littered with debris all the way to Ellentown Road. Weeds are two feet high. So much for “The Scenic Drive” and the glittering image of “The Jewel.” People park there and often discard paper cups, plastic bottles, banana peels and all sorts of things. I venture across this speedway trying to pick up what I can, but I am a senior citizen and simply no longer in the mood to do the City’s jobs. There is no Homeowners Association in this area. The residents behind the Pink Wall (west side) don’t even bother to trim their 9to 10-foot hedge. This part of La Jolla is a true example of a Third World Country. It is an infringement on the worth of my property! If anyone doubts it, please feel free to take the “Scenic Tour.” Isabella Miram

La Jolla veteran receives series of medals from Congress

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON World War II Army Air Corp veteran and La Jolla resident Milton Blackstone — highly decorated for his military service — recently received yet another special honor. In the La Jolla office of Congress member Scott Peters on June 18, Blackstone had commemorative ribbons replaced with medals. Peters’ office reports Blackstone’s list of decorations include: Air Medal, Good Conduct Medal, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with one Bronze Service Star, European-Africa-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with one Bronze Service Star, World War II Victory Medal and Honorable Service Lapel Button. Blackstone served in the 7th Ferrying Group of the Air Transport Command, delivering aircraft to theaters of war (strategic places where military activities occur or are occurring). “I was thrilled to get the medals because I always felt the ribbons didn’t represent the significance of my activity as a World War II aviator,” said the 93-year-old veteran. “I had some family there (at the presentation) and a couple of friends who wanted to commemorate the occasion.” The medals, along with certificates,

A mechanical engineer with a photography background, Blackstone met five U.S. Presidents during his service and bore witness to one of the most iconic wartime images, the

“Kissing the War Goodbye” photo, in the making. “I was on furlough at the USO on 45th Street in New York, when myself and two other men walked out and saw the news crawling across The Times building that the war had ended. We looked around and saw that everyone was hugging each other and kissing each other, and my friend grabbed the woman in the white dress, kissed her and someone snapped the picture. I was eight feet away when that picture was taken,” he explained. Long-since retired, Blackstone has resided in La Jolla for decades, and now receives bi-weekly visits from La Jolla Friendly Visitors. “I have two guys who come and visit me,” he explained. “One comes on Tuesdays and brings me tacos, and the other comes on Thursdays and likes to talk to me,” he said. “For people like me who are home-bound and cannot drive any more … having people that know me and visit me is great. … I’m particularly sensitive in that I have a blind and deaf son who lives with me, and my big concern is that something could happen to me and no one would know to check on him. Now I have people that know me and him, and that’s a great comfort.”

June is National Cancer Survivor month

ancer kills roughly 595,000 persons annually, second only to heart disease (610,000). More than 1.6 million Americans will be diagnosed with a cancer this year. There are projections that cancer deaths will surpass heart disease deaths nationally by 2030, though similar previous projections have not come to pass and the obesity epidemic likely ensures heart disease will continue to be an expansive killer. These are sobering statistics, to be sure, but there is good news, too. Both new cases of cancer and cancer-related deaths have broadly and steadily declined over the last 25 years in the United States, if not worldwide. The chance that you’ll develop cancer in your lifetime is not insubstantial. Approximately 38.5 percent of men and women will be diagnosed at some point during their lives with some type of cancer there are more than 200 types. Risk varies, of course. Men get cancer more often than women, generally speaking. Black men have a higher rate than white men, but the opposite is true among white and black

women. The most likely years of diagnosis are between age 55 and 74, with a median age of 66. But every cancer is different in every patient, and many factors affect prognosis, such as cancer type, stage of the disease and whether it has spread to other parts of the body, the cancer’s grade (an indicator of its aggressiveness), age, health status at time of diagnosis and, of course, how the patient responds to treatment. In diagnosing and prognosing, doctors may refer to a variety of different statistics about survival: • Cancer-specific survival is the percentage of patients with a specific type and state of cancer who have not died from their cancer during a certain period of time after diagnosis. It might be one year, two years or five. • Relative survival measures the percentage of cancer patients who have survived for a certain period of time after diagnosis compared to people who do not have cancer. • Overall survival is the percentage of people with a specific type and state of cancer who have not died from any cause

during a certain period of time after diagnosis. • Disease-free survival is the percentage of patients who have no signs of cancer during a certain period of time after treatment. June is National Cancer Survivor month, which happily means a lot to a lot of people. The 5-year survival rate (one of the most commonly used measures) is now 67 percent for all cancers, up from just 48.7 percent in 1975 when President Nixon declared war on the disease. In 2014, the latest year with full data, there were an estimated 15 million Americans living with cancer. There are a lot of reasons for the improvement, from the development of breakthrough drugs like Gleevac to treat some leukemias to new approaches like immunotherapy and stem cells that leverage the innate powers of the human body. But no less important are early detection and prevention through screening methods like colonoscopies and mammographies. They result in early treatment that can avoid much of the trauma, cost and distress of discovering later-stage cancers. There is another screening method that is not as widely used, but has the potential to generate similar benefit: low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), a special kind of imaging technology capable of producing both two- and three-dimensional images. It is faster and more detailed than a standard X-ray. Low-dose means it generates one-eighth of the ionizing radiation than conventional CT.

A 2011 study found that LDCT screening of high-risk individuals would reduce lung cancer mortality by 20 percent compared to standard chest X-rays. A high-risk individual is someone age 55 with a long history of heavy smoking (more than 30 pack-years; a pack-year is equal to smoking 20 cigarettes per day for one year), a current smoker or someone who quit within the past 15 years. At least 8.6 million Americans fit that description. If half of them were screened, it’s estimated more than 13,000 cancer deaths could be prevented. Mark Onaitis, M.D., is a nationally recognized thoracic surgeon recently recruited from Duke University. “We’re very excited to offer LDCT screening for lung cancer at UC San Diego. This is a very effective way to find lung cancer while it is still curable with surgery or radiation. Our program also offers smoking cessation assistance. This is the first comprehensive program in San Diego County that combines screening and smoking cessation and an approved lung cancer screening registry to track patient outcomes. This will help many current and former smokers.” This month, we celebrate all cancer survivors. We also urge them to continue to be screened, especially those at high risk. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UCSD Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the frontlines of cancer research and care appears the fourth Thursday of each month.

Dr. Richard Brian Hicks, M.D. May 3, 1923 - June 6, 2017

La JoLLa — It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Dr. Richard Brian Hicks, M.D., who passed away peacefully at his home in La Jolla on Tuesday morning, June 6, 2017. Dr. Hicks, noted psychoanalyst, teacher, and passionate solver of puzzles and problems was 94 years old. He was not only a brilliant intellect, but also a kindhearted and open-minded individual. Dr. Hicks treasured his relationships with family, friends, colleagues and clients. He will be missed by all, but his professional and personal legacy will endure. Richard Hicks was born May 3, 1923, in Indianapolis, IN, where his father, chief accountant for a Wall Street firm, had been sent on a client’s project. The following year his family returned to their home in New York City. Richard’s parents, Mary B. o’Brien Hicks and Ernest Tyler Hicks, were native New Yorkers of Irish and English descent. Grandfather Michael J. o’Brien was a respected historian who focused his work on the Irish experience in america. Raised in the Bronx during the Depression, Richard helped support his family from a young age. In his early years Richard felt a calling to the priesthood, but at the age of fourteen

he read an article in the New York Times on the work of Sigmund Freud. From that point on, the study of the human psyche, the understanding of human behaviors and inner drives became his lifelong passion. Richard graduated early from the academically rigorous Regis High School in Manhattan and enrolled at Canisius College where he received his undergraduate degree. He went on to medical school at New York Medical College, interning in psychiatry at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC. Richard graduated from medical school in 1948 and in 1950 married artist Mafalda Brasile. He served in the army during World War II and the U. S. Public Health Service during the Korean War. In 1951, the family moved to Michigan for Richard’s psychiatric residency at Ypsilanti State Hospital, a center of intellectual

and creative activity in the burgeoning field of mental healthcare. as time approached for a move to one of three major centers of Freudian analysis in the U.S. (Los angeles, Chicago, New York), Richard and Mafalda selected La Jolla so he could pursue his work at the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute and Society in Los angeles, where he was offered a fellowship. Dr. Hicks’ private practice in La Jolla began in 1961 and continued for the next 55 years. Dr. Hicks was a cofounder of the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society, now known as the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center. There he became an influential teacher, and an important leader in the association’s expansion and evolution. In later years, Dr. Hicks also worked for the State of California, evaluating patients for mental health care eligibility. This work brought him back to the roots of his interest in foundational mental health issues. Remarkably, Dr. Hicks continued his private practice to the age of 93. outside of his professional life, Richard held lifelong interests in architecture, real estate and property development, Frank Lloyd Wright, chess, mathematics, and science. He was always intrigued by the big questions about

Thursday evening, June 22. With help from the Coleman Company, the bags given out that night brought the overall number delivered to 3,000, since the “Compassion Campaign” started in December 2010. Back then, the chapter voted to raise $3,000 to buy 100 sleeping bag sets for individual distribution. The public was asked to contribute, and the $3,000 was raised quickly and the bags purchased and delivered. But the donations kept coming and soon another 50 bag sets were bought and presented — late at night, after everyone was asleep — to allow the vets to truly assess each person’s need. Donations of any amount are welcome and each donor receives a thank you card and receipt for income taxes.

what lies beyond our current comprehension. although his eyesight deteriorated in later years, Dr. Hicks continued to read voraciously and on a broad array of topics with the help of the Braille Institute of america and their audiobook program. Richard is pre-deceased by his beloved wife Mafalda, his companion in adventure for over 60 years. He is survived by his older brother, Tyler (Mary); his four children, Deirdre (John) alexander, Kathe (Mark) albrecht, Melodie Hicks arterberry, and Richard Tyler Hicks; nephews, Gregory (Mary) Place, Gregory Hicks, David Hicks; and niece, Barbara Beach; grandchildren, anne alexander (John Wolf ), Kate arterberry (Jack) Paradis, Nicole albrecht, alex albrecht (Heather Stewart), alice arterberry (Mike Mogavero), and olivia albrecht Pieter (Lukas Pieter); and nine great-grandchildren, Max and Violet Mogavero, olive and Luna Paradis, Isaac and Evelyn Wolf, Celestine and Bianca Pieter, and Lucy albrecht-Galdikas.

La Jolla Cove parking changed, commercial spaces added Going against the recommendation of La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (LJT&T) advisory board, the City of San Diego converted four parking spaces on Coast Boulevard at La Jolla Cove into Commercial Loading Zone spaces. Last year, LJT&T voted to approve the conversion of one space into a Commercial Loading Zone with standard restrictions (8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday) for a one-year test run. As previously reported in the Light, in September 2016, the City requested four open parking spaces next to The Cove restroom facility be converted to Commercial Loading Zone spaces. At the time, Michael Ruiz, City shoreline park ranger, explained the increase in events at Scripps Park created the need for a

Commercial Loading Zone there. He added that more than 50 large events have taken place, or are scheduled this year, along with 100 smaller events. Commercial Loading spaces are limited to vehicles with a commercial tag on their license plate, and are in effect from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday. The rest of the time, the public may use the spaces. However, when La Jolla Light went to photograph the new Commercial Loading spaces on June 26, each was taken up by a parked, non-commercial vehicle. The conversion came alongside a larger project to convert the angled parking along The Cove into head-in parking, which took place some time in May. When the parking spaces were reconfigured, that reportedly allowed for additional spaces to be drawn. While the Two Hour Parking along Coast Boulevard is head-in and perpendicular to the sidewalk, the Commercial Loading Zone spaces are still angled.

Established in 1954, the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial features more than 4,400 plaques on the surround-wall beneath a 29-foot-high cross. FROM MT. SOLEDAD, A1 Chelling said. “When you get to this point, you look at where the community wants to go. In this case, I’m talking about the veteran’s community in addition to the San Diego community. I’m looking at examples such as the Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C.; The National WW II Museum in New Orleans; Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima) in Arlington, Virginia. Name your great war memorials and we want this memorial there, too.” He went on to explain that the granite used to create the plaques on Mt. Soledad is the same granite used on the plaques for the Vietnam Wall. “That is the quality and caliber that this Memorial entails,” he said. “You can see that in the two major events we have here — the Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day ceremonies. When you attend those events, you see this is major league and spectacular. It’s time for the world to see that.”

Always on the scene

Chelling said he grew up in Los Angeles and joined the Air Force after high school. In the service, he was a military journalist in Asia. “I basically acted a combat correspondent,” he said. At the conclusion of a tour in Southeast Asia at the end of the Vietnam War, he came to San Diego. From there, he migrated from military journalist to conventional journalist, and was the editorial director for NBC. Switching to the political sector, Chelling said he was “lucky enough” to acquire a job as deputy press secretary for Pete Wilson when he was Mayor of San Diego in the 1970s. From there, he moved to the non-profit world and worked as the executive director of the Sharp Coronado Hospital Foundation. To prepare for his role at the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial Association, Chelling said he went to the Memorial for inspiration. “I hadn’t been up there in years, but I remember the first time I was there and was amazed by the view ... I saw this spectacular Memorial and thought it was incredible,” he said. Fortunate for him, the job allows Chelling to visit the site a few times a week. “The Memorial itself has quite an impact and I try to talk to people and see what their reactions are. I’m like a secret shopper up there. The reactions are inevitably that their socks are knocked off and they are stunned by the Memorial. A lot of people go up there for the view, but then they turn around and see the Memorial and it quickly takes over the view.”

La Jolla resident Howard Macken and his 1954 Austin-Healey 100 ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

La Jolla car nut owns Austin-Healey 100 BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Editor’s Note: In response to an invitation to classic car owners to share their vehicle love stories, more than a dozen car buffs contacted La Jolla Light to be interviewed about their prize possessions. In this series, we present their delightful roadster experiences.

oward Macken is, by his own admission, a bonafide car nut. The 10-year La Jolla resident worked on classic cars in his youth and, for more than a decade, raced cars on weekends. So when he retired, he started collecting old cars to restore them. Now, in addition to a 1974 Porsche, he is the owner of a rare 1954 Austin-Healey 100, a model that was only produced for three years.

As such, it was worth the effort for Macken to track the car down and bring it home, despite the “horrific” road trip involved. “My wife Tona and I were living in New Mexico when we retired, and I was looking for a modified Austin-Healy with a newer engine. I found it online in Seattle and I bought it sight unseen because it was what I

was looking for at the time,” he explained. “So I flew out with some tools; fixed it up just enough that it could be driven and I drove it back. It was a horrific trip because the gas pedal had been modified so my foot was at 90 degrees the whole time, and the seat was completely vertical and there was no top. It was agony. I had to stop every 50 miles to stretch.” Once it arrived in New Mexico, Macken set out on the careful repairs needed to get the car in top shape. First, the paint job. “It was orange when I bought it, and it was a dark green before that, and there was rust and it was dinged up. But I took it apart and put the whole thing back together myself,” he said. Then, there was the delicate work needed

to get the car to its current glory without “over-restoring,” which is frowned upon by Austin-Healey enthusiasts. “People now are so hung up on having era-perfect cars to the point that they become over-restored. For example, a lot of older cars had nickel chrome, but modern chrome is shinier and looks better, and the paint is better now. But purists don’t like to see a car that has modern work,” Macken said. On the other side of the coin, he said some die-hards would prefer if a car isn’t restored at all and is basically falling apart because it proves the car has not been altered. “I know someone with one of those, and that car is probably worth more than mine because it is totally original,” he said.

A small car driver in a big car town

used to be fairly certain that my end would come in a Bird Rock roundabout. But now I’m pretty sure that my last moments will be backing out of a parking spot between two SUVs in front of the public library. Or maybe it will be backing out of a spot on the Fay Avenue Speedway. People definitely seem to channel their inner NASCAR driver on that street. The problem, of course, is that I’m a small car person in a big car town. Even though I always look for a place next to a car my own size, anyone who has lived here for more than a week knows that you grab — gratefully — what you can get. And even if I’m parked next to what I am convinced is the only other little car in La Jolla, it invariably seems to be gone by the time I come back, replaced by a large, black sport utility vehicle. The first two feet that I back out are always totally blind. I inch out as slowly as I can, ready to slam on my brakes as a car comes flying past. I brace myself for the sound of breaking glass and crumpling metal, two sounds that I really, really hate, especially when I’m encased in that glass and metal. It is not good for my increasingly frail nervous system. But I really don’t want a big car myself. My carpool days are mercifully over. No more

cleat marks in my dashboard! (You know who you are.) In fact, I’d like an even smaller car than my little Toyota, maybe a Smart Car. Parking places aren’t getting any bigger. A tiny car would be especially useful at Gelson’s where despite the ample slots, the big cars hog one-and-a-half parking places. I could still wedge my little Smart Car into the remaining half spot. But if backing out blind on a busy street isn’t scary enough, pedestrians in local parking lots bring it to a whole new level. Short of a deep-seated death wish (and the knowledge that those Beemer and Lexus drivers are well insured and will amply compensate your loved ones), I can’t for the life of me imagine what sort of brain activity, if any, is being registered by people who are obliviously texting — or not even texting — as they walk right behind backing cars. One can only sigh wistfully and wish this lot were in the Serengeti, where natural selection could take its course. We’re into the summer season now, of course, where traffic and parking and backing up issues all become exponentially worse. I think all of us year-round residents of La Jolla feel incredibly lucky to live in this beautiful ocean-side community, but one can’t help but notice that summer tourists at a beach resort seem to have beamed

Would a Smart Car fit into the other half of this parking space at Gelson’s? themselves to a parallel universe where traffic laws do not apply. Fair enough; it’s what people do when on vacation. Still, it’s amazing so many survive their visit here. At The Shores, for example, beach chair-laden visitors wander at will across busy streets against the light in front of oncoming cars. They look stunned to hear the screech of tires, a blank look appearing across a puzzled face as they attempt to process what that annoying sound might have been. I fantasize having a neon blinking sign on the top of my car that could broadcast “Look both ways!” “The light is RED!” or even “AIIEEEE!” I used to tell myself that soon enough, it will be Labor Day again and life in La Jolla will return to its normally congested self. But in the last few years, I can’t help but notice that Labor Day doesn’t even make much difference in parking or traffic congestion. We’re now in Full Tourist Season All Year Round. My go-to parking places are gone ... in January!

CONCEIVE perfect tranquility

INGA

But as for backing my little car out of parking places between the inevitable two big ones, I actually have a solution. It was inspired by World War II submarine movies and is so simple I can’t believe automakers haven’t invented it. When I’m ready to back out of my spot in front of the library, I would say, “Up periscope, Siri!” and up through the roof of my car would come a 360-degree tube that would allow me to see speeding vehicles and death-wishing pedestrians. And Siri would say, “Safe to proceed! No Indy cars in sight!” And for once I’d appreciate Siri with whom I’ve have an otherwise problematic relationship. A vehicle periscope would truly improve my life more than any invention I could possibly imagine, even my long-time fantasy, a clairvoyant computer that would do what I want, not what I say. As for the periscope, I’d just have to make sure it was down at the car wash. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

FROM ONE FOR THE ROAD, B1

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Part of the interest in keeping the car in its historic state comes from the car’s roots in bringing the sports-car phenomena to the United States. Macken said, in the course of researching the car, he learned when American soldiers went overseas, they found these small, sporty cars that were unlike anything they’d ever seen. “They didn’t have anything like it in the States,” he explained. “These cars were designed so they could be raced, so they have features like a windshield that is lower-able (to nearly flat). This would reduce air resistance to lower the angle of the windshield. … Manufacturers only did this into the mid-1950s and then they installed a fixed windshield. The U.S. soldiers bought them in England and brought them back. This one must have been like that because when I was restoring it, I found some English coins that had fallen in between the seats.” As to what Macken gets from restoring the 1950s vehicle, he said, “It’s a gear-head thing to try to make the car start better and stop better.” To help find the parts needed to keep the car in circulation, he said there are “tons” of online resources, “You could make a new one of these just from parts. It would cost a heck of a lot of money, but you could do it.” Not needing to go to such lengths, Macken was able to restore the car to his liking so he can show it and drive it when possible. A “popular conversion” when restoring an Austin-Healey, he said, is to change the engine from the heavier originals to more speed-conducive lighter V8s. And while his car does not have a name, he refers to it as the “Little Bastard” (as in 1950s actor James Dean’s Porsche “Little Bastard”) because it has an Austin-Healy body and a Chevy engine. Seemingly striking the right restoration balance, Macken said when he takes the car out, “I get lots of thumbs-up, especially from the Old Timers. At auto shows, they tell me stories of when they had one, or if their brother had one, or when they were in the Army and saw them there. There were only so many made and I hate to see them go away forever.”

Meet La Jollan and Hall of Fame swimmer Anne Cleveland BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN EDITOR’S NOTE: The Light learned at presstime that Anne Cleveland passed away June 24, just days before this story was to publish. A Paddle Out in her honor is set for 11 a.m. Sunday, July 30 at WindanSea Beach. Come in kayaks, surfboards, paddleboards or boogie boards and pay tribute to a great swimmer and friend.

hile in her 40s, La Jolla resident Anne Cleveland rediscovered her childhood favorite activity and went on to become a famous open water swimmer. She successfully swam the Maui Channel, the Catalina Channel and the English Channel — both one way and round-trip. In 2004, she was awarded the prestigious Gertrude Ederle Award for the

Most Meritorious Swim by a Woman and in 2011, was inducted in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame. In 2016, Cleveland was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and she underwent surgery in March. She fought the illness for nine months, living longer than doctors predicted. La Jolla Light visited her in her La Jolla home, and during the interview she opened her soul as she prepared to pass away.

Please describe your upbringing. “My parents brought out the worst in each other. They fought all the time. It’s a very sad story that I’ve fought not to make my own. My mother divorced my father when I was a teenager. I don’t talk about it much, I’ve moved on. They left and I stayed here on my own, I was a homeless teenager. I got by any way I could. I let it go and started a new, happy life with people around me who were capable of loving me. It made me stronger, it was like resistance training. It gave me strength to swim.”

The great burger flip flop

he beloved burger is America’s sweetheart of foods affirmed by the 14 billion consumed yearly, and a nationally designated month (May) honoring the grilled sandwich. In my globetrotting days, I met many strange burgerfellows — some caught me off guard, taking my stomach by surprise, while others thankfully never got passed my lips. At a trendy Florida eatery, I scarfed down what I thought was a turkey burger, but was shockingly a gator burger. In Italy, I mistakenly ate a goat patty thinking it was chicken. During my youth in the Northeast, I narrowly escaped eating a black bear on a bun. While beef is still the top choice for burgerphiles, other vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and carnivorous options are entering the field in a flurry. Be adventurous for July 4th and beyond with this line-up of sweet and savory hamburger alternatives that’ll sure to please even the most discriminating palates. ■ Take it with a Large Grain: Move over soy boys. Use a confetti of red, white and brown quinoa, the Incan mother grain as a base for this protein-dense, gluten-free veggie burger. Blend with organic eggs, chopped onions, roasted corn and red peppers, and shredded Jack cheese, then top

with heirloom tomatoes on a crusty sourdough, slathered with a kicky chipotle mayo--even the most diehard meat lover would not feel deprived. Brown rice is chewy and hearty, same with bulgur wheat, buckwheat and assorted ancient grains from teff, farro and kamut to amaranth, blue corn and black barley as a satisfying meat alternative. These can be combined with legumes, peas and beans (lentils, chickpeas, English peas, kidney, navy and black beans), along with roasted root vegetables (sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas, turnips, beets), and assorted herbs and spices (garlic, cayenne, turmeric, celery salt, smoked paprika, ginger, mustard seed, basil, Italian parsley, rosemary) for a vegetarian’s paradise on a bun. ■ Cap it Off: Nothing imitates meat better than mushrooms with a rich beefy taste, color and texture. A whole Portobello marinated in a red wine or balsamic vinaigrette, and grilled to a soft pink center is then dressed with fresh watercress, and truffle aioli on a crusty focaccia roll. Or construct a patty with a mix of chopped mushrooms (crimini, button, oyster, shiitake, trumpet), shredded mozzarella, bread crumbs and spices for a moo burger doppelganger with an antioxidant oomph.

■ Eggplant cut crosswise about 1-inch thick, marinated and grilled, topped with baby arugula and a drizzle of yogurt Meyer lemon sauce on a toasted baguette is another satisfying choice. ■ On the Wild Side: If you have a gamey palate, try lean, grass-fed bison, a native of North America and Europe, and relative to water buffalo, sheep, and cattle. Bison resembles beef in heartiness, but with a sweeter flavor. Pasture-raised, immune boosting “lamburgers,” that are lean and juicy pair well with Moroccan flavors from ginger, turmeric and cumin to paprika, saffron and cinnamon. Top with refreshing mint leaves and tzatziki yogurt and cucumber sauce or hummus, and stuff in a pita pocket. Low-fat, tender, protein-dense elk meat from the deer clan also makes a hearty change up from mainstream hamburgers. For a rich smoky flavor add chopped bacon to the patty, and accessorize with hickory barbecue sauce and caramelized onions. ■ Plenty of Fish in the Sea: For pescavores best choices include sweet Dungeness crab meat, or a firm fish like mahi mahi, ahi tuna or wild-caught salmon. These can be filleted and seared, or either finely ground or coarsely hand-cut and formed into patties. Marine burgers pop with Asian accompaniments like scallions, pickled daikon radishes, and wasabi mayo. ■ Sweet Endings: A dessert burger will hit the sweet spot with grilled pineapple rounds, peach halves, or mango slices drizzled with a caramel or hazelnut chocolate sauce, or a berry puree sandwiched between a brioche bun.

Knock-Your-Socks-Off Caramelized Onions ■ Ingredients: 3 large Vidalia or other sweet onions, thinly sliced; 2 tablespoons each, sweet butter and virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar; 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves; 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika ■ Method: In a covered skillet, heat butter and oil on medium until melted, then add onions and thyme. Cook covered for 10 minutes. Stir, add sugar and heat covered for another 30 minutes until golden. Add wine vinegar and seasonings. Cook for another minute, stirring well. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Sonia Hamburger

July 31, 1924 - February 8, 2017 LA JOLLA — Sonia Hamburger, 92, passed away from heart failure in San Diego, CA. She was born in Vienna, Austria, to Emma Gross and David Von Dishbach. Sonia’s saga began as the daughter of an indomitable mother who carried Sonia and her sister Alexandra through a chaotic Europe to refuge in Brooklyn, NY in the early 1930’s. Sonia and Robert met immediately prior to his distinguished service as a pilot in the Pacific theater. In his absence, Sonia held the family together refusing to accept an official notice that he may be missing in action. This faith remained for all 72 years of their marriage, enduring tragedy and

triumph. After his military service, Bob entered Yale Medical School, then early pediatric practice and a Yale professorship. He was asked to help establish the UCSD Medical School in the early 60’s. The family began a new life in La Jolla and became an integral

part of the community for over 60 years. Sonia returned to her own education becoming one of the earliest medical anthropologist and established the first menopause hotline, providing resources for women undergoing fundamental biological changes that society largely ignored. From her cherished Tertulia sisters, to close friends and relatives, travels around the world and the Robert & Sonia Hamburger Family Chamber Music Series at UCSD, the family enjoyed life to the fullest. Sonia was predeceased by her husband, Robert N. Hamburger, MD; and beloved daughters, Hilary, Debre and

Lisa. She is survived by granddaughter, Toya Holiday; greatgranddaughters, Saylor, Jasper and Mercy; niece, Stephanie Hanks; cousins, Arlene “Florence” Falk and Richard Gross; sister-in-law, Evelyn Anderson; sonin-law, Anthony Bila; and grandson-in-law, Brandy Holiday. Sonia possessed a natural elegance and fiery temper, intrepid honesty and laser like intelligence. Returned now to her lifelong companion. The love remains.

San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Summer Legs and Beyond: Exercising with Varicose Veins It’s summer, there are record temperatures, and you want to be in shape for all those warm-weather clothes. But if you also suffer from varicose veins, not all exercises will be beneﬁcial to ﬁtness and your venous health. The problem with varicose veins When you see varicose veins, the big purplish ropes under the skin, that is blood buildup in veins due to weak venous valves. Varicose veins usually appear in the legs because the veins have to work harder to pump the blood from the feet back up to the heart. The heart, then, has to work harder to pump that blood through the weaker veins. Sometimes, high

blood pressure can develop or be exacerbated by varicose veins. Why not all workouts are ideal for people with varicose veins The general rule of thumb is that exercise is a good way to improve venous health. So while varicose veins are mostly the result of genetics, keeping up proper blood ﬂow will help the appearance of the varicose veins and improve your overall vascular health.The key is to use exercise to improve circulation, especially throughout the legs. There is even a chance that moderate exercise may reduce the chances of forming new varicose veins or worsening the already weakened veins. The veins in the calf muscle are especially useful in pumping blood back into the heart, so exercises that strengthen the calf muscles should be a part of your workout plan. Riding a bike, especially a stationary bike, is particularly effective. Walk, don’t run Walking stimulates circulation and burns plenty of calories, and the same applies for low-impact jogging. However, a high-impact

run or workout can actually increase the swelling of the veins and add stress to your joints. If you are a runner, consider moving your workout to a soft surface and wearing compression stockings to stimulate blood ﬂow. That gut feeling Blood ﬂowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. So weightlifting and lots of sit-ups can do more harm than good for varicose vein sufferers. However, if weightlifting is an important part of your workout regimen, consider less weight with more reps, and avoid putting too much strain on your abdomen. The same is true for strenuous yoga; some poses can put extra pressure on the vena cava, impeding rather than improving

circulation. Low-impact yoga that involves smooth transitions and lots of stretching is a better plan. Remember, you should stop immediately any exercise that causes leg pain or even discomfort. Exercises is about doing good, not harm, and there can be too much of a good thing, especially when your vascular health has been compromised by varicose veins. There is no prevention for varicose veins, and no failproof cure. But a healthy, low-impact, cardiovascular-boosting routine is a great ally for healthy legs. And while varicose veins are common enough and may not always be lifethreatening, a good solution to accompany exercise is removing those varicose veins with sclerotherapy, which can be done in just a short ofﬁce visit. If working out has given you symptomatic vein disease, and if you’re tired of your varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website.

Sal Moreno visual arts portion of the ICAM presentations (there are visual arts and music sections), explained student unsureness as a product of the times. “We have the Trump Administration, which is changing everything,” he said. “The Brits have left the European Union, and there is much uncertainty about Visas. Students are thinking, ‘I don’t know what is going to happen in the near future. How can I have a definite plan?’ ” Peter Otto, who was the music coordinator of ICAM for many years until he retired recently to work on automobile

BY WILL BOWEN Beware the Ides of March ... but look forward to the Ides of June, I always say. Mid-June marks the end of spring quarter at UC San Diego and heralds the exciting final presentations of the graduating seniors in the Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts & Music (ICAM) major. ICAM is a part of the Visual Arts Department — a very popular major these days. Brett Stalbaum, who is the ICAM faculty coordinator, said 40 percent of the students in the university’s Arts & Humanities division are Visual Arts majors. The Media major within Visual Arts is its largest subdivision. Media has more students than the entire Literature Department at UCSD. But if you combine ICAM with its offshoot, the new Speculative Design Major, then together, they are even larger than Media. The ICAM presentations are a grand opportunity to shine a light into the fog of the future and see where things are going in the arts, music, technology and computing. The ICAM students are always on the leading edge and never fail to open your eyes to new possibilities. This was a very different year for ICAM. Although there were many more students graduating this year than usual, the odd thing was that, unlike in the past, where most of the students had clear and definite plans for their future, this year’s crew was much more unsure where their lives were headed.

to room, one hears her voice talking about her experiences of loneliness and melancholy. She said she had to live alone because her parents were working in San Francisco and the people who were supposed to take care of her never showed up! I tried out the virtual reality experience and got quite hot and sweaty. I felt like I would need a lot of time to get used to virtual reality, but would like to someday take a walk down the backstreets of Venice, Italy via this means. Faculty adviser Stalbaum said this was exactly the problem holding virtual reality back — a lot of people get nauseated when they use it! Sal Morena garnered lots of attention with his setup of four African drums carved by the Ga people in Ghana, which he borrowed from Madison High School, where he is a percussion coach. Morena designed a computer program and composed several percussion pieces played by robot arms holding drumsticks attached to each drum. Gavin Baudillo designed a virtual reality program for the laptop. His aim was to explore the limits of the virtual reality gaming world. While participants play his game, they can see themselves in a mirror, send him an e-mail, call him on the phone, or go to an outside website, which is pretty unheard of in gaming. But Baudillo had to take out the bit where one falls through a hole in the game floor because it took the user outside the outside the universe of the game and crashed the program!

Li Wei Wang created a very interesting box with mirrors on all the inside walls and a set of light cubes inside. One sits on the floor inside the box, and as the music plays and the lights flash, one can see reflections of themselves off into infinity. Jose Quintero created a game that lets players fly like a particle of light through the universe. Gamers use their two hands hovering over a motion sensor as their wings. The music presentations of ICAM, which were directed by Music Department Ph.D. candidate Kevin Hayward, took place in the Conrad Prebys Music Building. In past years, students were required to give live performances. However, this year they gave scholarly talks and just played a tape of their music. Lenis Kim played one of her hip-hop songs and Junseok Shim authored Christian music. Brad Stevenson built a fascinating light sculpture and Mai Dinh gave a rousing talk on a game that lets one interact with a virtual pet that looks like a blob. Best-of-Show for ICAM 2017 went to 42-year-old Todd Everett. Everett taped the underwater sounds at various places in San Diego Bay, showing that the Bay has its own unique sound world. He took classes part-time, while working full-time for UC Extension Division. It took him eight years to complete his degree, and like many ICAM students, he is not quite sure of what the future holds for him.

True Life Center for Wellbeing provides holistic care BY DAVID L. CODDON The True Life Center for Wellbeing describes its approach to treatment in three words: customized, holistic and collaborative. That approach, and the understanding of the complex and critical relationship between mind and body, are at the heart of the three-year-old center’s healthcare philosophy. “I think the name says it all,” said True Life founder and executive medical director Dr. Krysta Roybal. “My vision is that when people come for treatment and healing and recovery they find their authentic self and they can continue to live their lives in their truth and their authenticity.” Roybal, the former co-medical director of the Scripps Drug & Alcohol Treatment Program, said, “Around 60 percent (of the True Life outpatients) have mental health challenges without any addiction, chemical or behavioral,” while the remaining 40 percent have addiction issues complicated by depression or by emotional or physical trauma. Whatever the case, each person receives customized care. “I don’t know of another place in outpatient treatment where a single person can come in and have eight different providers who all know that person in a unique way and who get together and discuss their care and collaborate in detail,”

The True Life team poses for a photo during their annual staff retreat. said Roybal. “I get to be the quarterback in overseeing that each individual is getting all the different elements that he or she needs to heal.” In every case, the treatment is holistic in nature. “Holistic means that we look at the whole person,” said Roybal. “Mind, body and spirit, as well as their circumstances and their environment. We holistically treat the root cause of suffering.” She added:

“Another thing that distinguishes us is our warmth and our humanistic approach to suffering. We don’t pathologize people. People are not problems at True Life. They are whole individuals and whole people who we see have a wound or have suffering. “When people feel depression or they feel panic or anxiety or a craving for a substance, it is physical in addition to psychological. We address that in a completely holistic and

comprehensive way.” The center’s staff of 20 includes professionals in a wide variety of treatment areas, from addiction medicine to psychology, from massage and acupuncture to meditation and mindfulness. Roybal’s specialty area is addiction medicine, and the center she founded is helping her realize her passion to help people. “I never thought as a doctor that I would have the honor and joy of getting people off medications as a treatment,” she said. “That’s my expertise: helping people taper and detox off of benzodiazepines, opiates — all the medications that were supposed to alleviate pain and suffering.” The True Life Center for Wellbeing aims to share its knowledge with the community. Having recently doubled in size, the center now includes a large conference room where, Roybal said, “we’re going to provide continuing education units for therapists and other clinicians in the community. We see ourselves as thought leaders and as providing the community with cutting-edge science and holistic care.” True Life Center for Wellbeing, 4520 Executive Drive, Suite 225, San Diego.

BY PHILLIP MOLNAR The San Diego County median home price hit $530,000 in May, breaking the nominal record set last month and increasing 8.2 percent in a year, real estate tracker CoreLogic reported. Lack of homes for sale and slowed home construction appear to be major forces in new peaks set over the past few months leading into the traditional busy summer buying season. In real terms, May’s numbers still are far off the peaks of the housing boom. When adjusted for inflation, the county nominal November 2005 peak of $517,500 equates to roughly $644,500 in 2016 dollars. Alan Gin, economist at University of San Diego, said it is likely that nominal records will continue to be broken as the summer continues, especially with a strong economy and low unemployment rate. “Construction is still lagging badly. There’s just not enough housing,” Gin said. “High demand and low supply mean higher prices.” In May, there were 5,060 homes listed for sale in San Diego County, up by 279 from April but substantially below historic levels for the month, said the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors. There were 5,913 listings in May last year, 6,658 in 2015 and 7,029 in 2014. As for overall unit sales, this year’s number appears comparable to the levels reached during the last housing boom, at least at first glance: There were 4,138 home sales in May and 4,232 in November 2005. The difference, Gin said, is that there were far more new homes being built in 2005. In May, 232 newly built homes sold. In November 2005, 1,251 new homes sold. There are plenty of examples of buyers pushing prices up amid intense competition. A $329,000 condo with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the Nestor neighborhood about 1 mile from the Mexican border had a sale pending in two days, said listing agent Jean Paul Schwarz. The 1,224-square-foot unit in the Evergreen Condominiums drew 10 offers, with four higher than the asking price, in the two days it was on the market. The winning offer agreed to a 21-day escrow period for the nearly 40-year-old condo. Schwarz said he’s seeing buyers being more aggressive to get away from rising rents, and some want to take advantage of low mortgage interest rates, which averaged 3.9 percent Wednesday morning for a 30-year fixed-rate loan, said Mortgage News Daily. Rent had increased 8 percent in a year as of March, said MarketPointe Realty Advisors. “People are desperate to get into a house,” Schwarz said. While industry experts are optimistic home

construction will pick up later in the year, San Diego County had the biggest drop in residential building in Southern California over the first three months of 2017. Residential building permits were down by 37 percent in the first quarter compared to the same time last year. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer unveiled a plan June 21 to spur home construction. It would streamline project approvals, reduce some regulations and start calculating developer fees not on the total number of units but on either square footage or the number of bedrooms and other measures. The plan must be approved by the City Council and could take years to significantly add to housing supply. The region’s median resale house price in May set a record of $590,000, with 2,636 single-family houses sales. The previous peak of $575,000 was set last month. The resale condo price was $390,000, with 1,270 sales, $10,000 short of the nominal peak set in April 2005. Resale homes had the largest year-over-year price increase, with a 8.7 percent appreciation. Resale condos were up 4 percent and newly built homes down by 2.2 percent. The newly built home median price in May was $571,000, with 232 sales. The number of absentee buyers, usually investors who don’t intend to live in the homes they purchase, made up 19.2 percent of sales in April, down from 19.7 percent at the same time last year. In early 2013, more than 30 percent of sales went to absentee buyers. For all of Southern California, the median home price was up 7.1 percent year-over-year, bringing the median to $492,000. The largest increase was in San Bernardino County, at 8.8 percent, to a median price of $310,000. It was followed by San Diego County with the 8.2 percent increase; Riverside County with a 7.9 percent increase for a median of $356,000; Ventura County with a 7.1 percent increase for a median of $553,750; Los Angeles County with a 6.8 percent increase for a median of $560,500; and Orange County with a 6.7 percent increase for a median of $695,000. Inventory of homes for sale is low nationwide because, in part, construction slowed during the housing market crash. San Diego had the 13th-lowest inventory of any region in the second quarter of 2017, said Nationwide Economics, with enough listings available to support the present rate of sales for 1.64 months. Economists typically say five to six months supply makes for a healthy market for both buyers and sellers.

LISTED FROM $1,875,000 - $2,000,000 Nestled in the gated community of Windemere, this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath single-level home has panoramic views of the ocean. The southwest exposure lends itself to outdoor entertaining with spa, fountain, built-in BBQ, and room for pool. PETER AND JUDY CORRENTE 858.414.5448 correntes92037@gmail.com lajollacahomes.com
