BY ASHLEY MACKIN The year 2015 may have brought the La Jolla Rec Center’s centennial, but 2016 is looking like it will bring exciting changes to the now 101-year-old facility. With a capital campaign that kicked off mid-May, the La Jolla Park & Rec, Inc. board has improvements in mind, but will also reach out to the community for ideas and programming suggestions. The fundraising campaign has already raised $45,000 of the $200,000 the board hopes to gather by the end of the year. The two key donors responsible are Douglas Dawson of the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation, who gave $20,000; and Audrey Geisel of the Dr. Seuss Foundation, who gave $25,000. “We are also going for federal grants … and right now I have eight in play. The grantors have all come back wanting more information, but are generally positive,” said Park & Rec board chair SEE REC CENTER, A4
La Jolla’s Missing Paths
The second of a two-part report on pedestrian access in town BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During the course of investigating why some neighborhoods in La Jolla do not have pedestrian access (“Why No Sidewalks?” La Jolla Light, June 23), we came across old subdivision maps that revealed the existence of a series of “easements” throughout the hilly areas of La Jolla developed in the 1920s: Ludington Heights, Country Club and Muirlands. To confirm the existence of the easements, the Light acquired parcel maps of the areas, and found that 17 of these easements are still on the charts. Ten of them run straight into someone’s property. The remaining seven connect public streets and have different designations — “lane” or “path.” In the Country Club area, two of them have names of their own — Lobelia Path and Mint Canyon Path. Only Lobelia Path exists in reality today; the others have been fenced off, overgrown by vegetation or blocked At this crossroad, landscape and fencing were built where an easement should be.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY REPORT Fire in La Jolla garage claims life of 90-year-old woman
A fire on June 22 claimed the life of 90-year-old Ellen Pirok, mother-in-law of St. James by-the-Sea Rev. Mark Hargreaves and mother of his wife Laura, when it overtook the garage of the Hargreaves’ Via Barranca home. There was only minor smoke damage to the main house. It is presumed the fire started when Pirok, a longtime smoker, fell asleep watching television and smoking a cigarette around 8:30 p.m. Originally from Anaheim, Pirok was staying with the Hargreaves while she recuperated from a back injury that limited her mobility. She had only been in La Jolla for about six weeks. The Hargreaves were out to dinner with friends celebrating a wedding anniversary when they received word of the fire. “There was a shock to what happened, but the church has been fantastically kind,” said Rev. Hargreaves. “They’ve provided us with lots of practical support, such as meals, and helped us clean up and provided things that we lost in the fire. Church members have upheld us in prayer and given spiritual support.” Because several St. James parishioners regularly visit the house, many in the church got to meet Pirok in the short time she was here. “She was a character,” Rev. Hargreaves said. Pirok’s funeral services will be held at her church in Anaheim.

Snorkeler drowns at The Cove
A snorkeler died after being pulled to shore by lifeguards in La Jolla Cove on June 27, a fire official said. The man’s name and age were not released. He appeared to be in his 50s, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Lee Swanson. A kayaker who noticed the snorkeler “was having trouble” called for help about 5:15 p.m., Swanson said. Lifeguards went into the water and pulled out the man, who was unconscious. They started CRP until paramedics arrived and took him to a hospital, where he died. Swanson did not know if the man regained consciousness after the lifesaving efforts. It was not known if the man died by drowning or from a medical condition.

Cindy Greatrex. The grants range from $5,000 to $100,000. “One of the things we’re looking to do with the money is get bids for a rail fence where there is now a chain link to make it more attractive,” she said. “The La Jolla Rec Center is in the heart of the Village and part of the La Jolla Cultural Zone, so we try and keep the place decent looking, bearing in mind children play there.” Another planned improvement is for new playground equipment. “We have funds in the bank to work on the playground, but it has to be ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant and ... the number of design options is too large for our board. We don’t have a preference, but we’ve gotten requests that the equipment could use some freshening up and expanding, so we need community input,” Greatrex said. Rec Center board member-at-large Carolyn Parrish added there is also talk of minor upgrades to the facility, such as the curtains and the piano, renovated restroom facilities, and new wiring and a new speaker system for the more than 10 community advisory meetings that meet there every month. “A lot of people think we are funded by the city so we must be fine in terms of funding, but we’re not fine. We need to get some money. We put in extra money to keep the center open extra hours, but the center could use some help,” she said. “We want the input, we want the ideas. How could we do better?” To garner ideas, the board is planning a series of community meetings, with dates to be announced, where the board can talk

We invite as many people as possible to come and talk about our campaign, how much we have and how much we expect, and let the community decide what we should do with it.”
A children’s theater troupe?
In an early fishing expedition for ideas, Greatrex said she reached out to Dawson after the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation donation. He suggested a revival of the long-gone children’s theater company.
Disbanded decades ago, the Rec Center once had such a company, and reportedly, former La Jolla Town Council president Steve Haskins starred in the troupe’s production of “The Wizard of Oz” as a child! Last month, Greatrex and board member Gail Forbes set out to find someone qualified to lead a children’s troupe. “We’re going to start with workshops on stage building, elocution and culminate with a play, but the board does not have the skills to direct, so we’re starting there,” Greatrex said. Of the prospect of the youth theater and other programming additions, Parrish said, “We’re going to keep pushing and keep moving. I’m excited about all the programs (we could start) for young people. Rec centers offer chances to get out there and be active. Ours is a beautiful place to run or ride a bike. There is a nice, inexpensive gym here,
Greatrex and Parrish are also working to get the La Jolla Rec Center on the National Register of Historic Places. “To get on the register would be great, but unusual, because every village has a building they think should be on the register, and only a few buildings are granted the designation in each state,” Greatrex said. Nevertheless, they submitted the proposal – all 32 pages of it – and are waiting for a response, which could take months. Citing its historical significance, Greatrex explained the building used modern (for 1915) architectural features and was designed by Irving Gill. Paid for by benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, the intention was to give children a place to play, and men a spot to gather without liquor, for people of all races and genders to gather for civic engagement, and to be one of the first centers in the “playground movement” of the time. “Ellen Browning Scripps was way ahead of her time when she came up with all this,” Greatrex said. “Generations have used it and enjoyed it, and it’s a valued part of the community. Our Rec Center is a beautiful property, but it needs more than it’s gotten, and it needs some big stuff now. We want people to feel like it’s a home away from home. I think La Jollans are going to be pleased when the (efforts this year are) done.” — To reach the La Jolla Park & Rec, Inc. board, call (858) 922-0263 or send an e-mail to capitalcampaign@lajollaparksand recreation.org

Permitters seek more details on condo conversion plan
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN At its June 21 meeting, La Jolla’s Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) evaluated a proposal to convert three dwelling units at 7432, 7434 and 7436 Fay Ave. into condominium units, and then asked the applicant to provide more details, tabling the item for further consideration to its July 12 meeting. The existing properties are located in two lots that would need to be consolidated into one to comply with the state law on condominiums, said applicant Robert Bateman, owner of San Diego Land Surveying and Engineering. No additional construction is proposed. If the project is approved, the two buildings — one single family dwelling and one two-apartment complex with four garages — will form a condominium community divided in three units. Bateman explained that lot owner Claude Anthony Marengo wishes to sell the units, which are currently rented out. “It creates homeownership for the community; it gives people that don’t have the money to access
more expensive homes, the chance to buy homes within the community of La Jolla,” he said. There are eight parking spaces available in the apartment complex — four one-car garages and a space behind each in the rear alley. The eight spaces would be shared within the three condominiums, Bateman said. However, board member Mike Costello had doubts on how that would work. “How do three units divide up eight parking
spaces?” he asked. Bateman replied, “The condominium plan that would eventually be prepared, would assign units to the parking spaces, and if a certain owner wanted to purchase additional parking spaces, he or she could. I numbered the spaces and it’s basically up to the owners at the time.” The permit checklist included landscape, and a plan was presented to the board. “There’s some enhancement to the front, but it is essentially what is there today,

which is a fairly nice little landscape. The purpose of this landscape plan is to comply with the condominium conversion ordinance, and it primarily deals with making sure that the front area meets code,” Bateman said. The single family dwelling was built in 1917, and the apartments in 1962. DPR members raised questions about the legality of the construction of three units within the existing area. After the meeting, DPR Chair Paul Benton explained, “The current code permits one unit for each 3,000 square feet of lot. The two lots together are a total of 6,995 square feet in area, and 6,995 divided by 3,000 calculates out to 2.3 units, which means the maximum is two units. This regulation would apply if this were a new project, so the next step is to consider if the three units were legally permitted at that time.” Bateman presented a report from 2001 to establish the legality of the construction. However, the document didn’t satisfy DPR members, who requested Marengo bring a response from the city to the next meeting. “Also, I don’t buy the argument that making the units condominiums would bring low-income housing to La Jolla,” Liera said. “I think the low-income housing remains when they are leasable … when they become condominiums, they come up in price.” — The La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee next meets 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 12 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

The annual Fourth of July Parade in the Barber Tract starts at 10 a.m.
Fireworks, parades set for July 4 in La Jolla Throughout Independence Day (Monday, July 4), events in La Jolla will celebrate the red, white and blue. Starting with the Bird Rock Parade, when floats and residents (on scooters, bikes and trikes) make their way down Beaumont Avenue beginning 10 a.m. at Camino de la Costa and ending at Mira Monte. Volunteers and donations are still needed. More information at birdrockcc.org

At the same time, in the Barber Tract neighborhood, a parade will start on Monte Vista. Residents and friends walk the neighborhood in their patriotic finest, with Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty riding on their car float nearby. The celebration concludes with a block party, including music and snacks. More information at barbertract.com The big finale will be 9 p.m. at La Jolla Cove, when the sky lights up with fireworks. With funding secured, the annual display can best be seen from Ellen Browning Scripps Park. lajollabythesea.com
To encourage new growth of plants at Whale View Point (along Coast Boulevard), the team behind the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project roped off areas where new planting went in, and team leader Ann Dynes recently reported their efforts prevailed. “If you can keep people off of even the barest of dirt surfaces, new growth occurs. Nature comes back if given a chance,” she said via e-mail. “Over the winter, we removed some of the dead sea lavender bushes in the field of sea lavender across from 375 Coast Blvd. and discovered that, with exposure to sun and moisture, new plants of sea lavender start cropping up! The sea lavender propagates itself if it is not trampled on. We decided that selective barriers to humans thoughtlessly walking among the plants would be relatively cheap and easy thing to do and helpful to re-establishing the health of that field,” she added. “This week we were fortunate to secure another right of entry permit from the city, this time to rope off the sea lavender field and to direct visitors to a couple of pathways to the beach, this rather than the dozen or more which the public does not need and where new plants are starting to sprout new growth. (Soon) you will see our efforts to protect the native vegetation at this location, which we hope to keep in place through the summer busy season.”

UC San Diego nabs two architecture awards The San Diego chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects has honored UCSD’s Campus Pointe with the “President’s Award” and the Revelle College Housing Neighborhood Renewal with a “Merit” award. The Campus Pointe area includes a 24-acre life-science laboratory campus, which sits at the rim of several native San Diego canyons within a Torrey Pine grove. Focus was given to the well-being of the user by providing several healthy opportunities such as a fitness center, a basketball court, a multipurpose lawn, a 0.8-mile loop trail, chess tables, sunny and shaded outlook areas and two organic gardens whose produce is used at the on-site bistro. Features of the Revelle College Housing Neighborhood Renewal project include the update of two residence halls and a dining facility constructed in the 1960s and ’70s to create fun, active, social spaces that got students out of their rooms to create positive campus memories. In the process, the landscape architect also improved functional issues, including sustainability, bicycle parking and circulation conflicts.

Harelson’s even courtroom demeanor, decisiveness and sense of fair play, along with his quick quit and humor, made him one of the most respected and liked members of the judiciary. Regarding Woodworth, the Foundation said, in 1968, he was appointed by Gov. Ronald Reagan to the Municipal Court. He was elevated to the Superior Court in 1972. Woodworth formally retired from the bench in 1988, although he continued to work by assignment as a “substitute judge” for many years.

Hangups blamed on the city
ASHLEY MACKIN
Jim Neri, the project would widen the sidewalk overlooking the Children’s Pool, add a new gazebo and seating, and replace old planters to cover the crumbling walls. Fundraising and design efforts for the project began more than six years ago. “At this point, it has been more than five years since we received this donation. This should teach us, as a group, a lesson, because most grant proposals include a guaranteed
start date and an end date to a project,” Minick, said. However, repeated delays and longer than expected wait times for city responses made it impossible to give a solid start date. The most recent estimate is that the project could start in September 2017. “You must image how terrible I feel for any donors (who are waiting to see this project get started). There are over 80 donors. I feel for all of them that this project is stuck as it
Delays thus far include city documents taking longer than expected to produce, increased fees and assessments, and the on-again, off-again construction of the new Children’s Pool lifeguard tower. Among the city documents that delayed the project, the Mitigated Negative Declaration (indicating the project would not have a significant impact on the environment) took nine months longer than expected. Additionally, changes in required permits and assessments added more than $80,000 to the $250,000 pricetag (all of which had been raised). Furthermore, several months were spent negotiating with the city so the Children’s Pool Walk Project and construction of the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower could happen concurrently, which was ultimately denied. The lifeguard tower took three years to complete (read more on A1), so the Children’s Pool Walk Project sat in waiting during that time. Now that the lifeguard tower construction is finished, Minick is hopeful work can begin on her project, and she will fundraise again to account for the returned donation.

When Marc Jinich, a nine-year-old student at the San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA), won the first place in the elementary school level of the University of San Diego’s 2016 “Character Counts Essay Contest,” he thought best to give the prize money to the victims of the April 16 earthquake in Ecuador. Furthermore, he continued fundraising and organized a Fun Run event, eventually producing $8,199 for the earthquake victims. The money will be used to acquire a water tank and mattresses for inhabitants of one of the villages. Marc said he first learned about the earthquake from Head of Lower School Kelley King, whose sister Kim lives in Ecuador and was a victim of the earthquake. Although Kim’s fiancé was injured in the natural disaster, they are both well and participating in the effort to rebuild the affected areas. When notified of the gift coming from Marc, Kim said: “A young man named Marc has become a village’s hero; a boy who, at age 9, rose above and beyond what one might hope from the most compassionate and altruistic of adults.”

Torrey Pines Elementary sends 74 fifth-graders to middle school BY ASHLEY MACKIN “Whoa, hey, Mr. Luxon!” said several surprised fifth-graders at Torrey Pines Elementary School’s promotion ceremony June 21 on the 8350 Cliffridge Ave. campus. James Luxon, who now lives in Michigan, taught Kindergarten at the school in 2010-2011, and came back to see his students complete fifth grade. “It was a great class and a great experience, so I wanted to return,” he said. Luxon was joined by retired teacher Deidre Bell and Ashley Gaze, who moved on to another position in the district — all taught Kindergarten that same year and attended the promotion ceremony to support their once-upon-a-time students. Paying homage to their Kindergarten teachers, those who have been at Torrey Pines since Kindergarten shared their memories during the ceremonies — everything from clutching their parents legs and not wanting to go in, to seeing bees in trees, making friends, and a having a water fight (pre-drought). The ceremony also included speakers from the fifth-grade class, principal Sarah Ott and La Jolla High School and Torrey Pines Elementary School graduate Hazel Friedman.

Dental care (with an ocean view!) from La Jolla’s John and Tracey Taddey Drs. Tracy and John Taddey, a unique father-daughter dental practice, utilizes the newest technologies to create beautiful and healthy smiles with cosmetic and general dentistry and implants. After having a practice for over 40 years in La Jolla, the practice relocated one year ago to 875 Prospect St., Suite 301 (on the corner of Fay Avenue and Prospect Street). The beautiful office features ocean views and new, modern equipment. Dr. Tracy Taddey said, “The ocean views, light airy environment, and cheerful staff make the dental experience very peaceful and calming for our patients. Looking out our windows and seeing waves, pelicans, seagulls, whales and rainbows creates a low stress visit.” The Taddey practice encompasses all aspects of general dentistry. Dr. Tracy Taddey has special training in cosmetic dentistry, smile design, Invisalign, and laser gum therapy. Dr. John Taddey specializes in TMJ diagnosis and treatment. He also provides other procedures such as root canals and extractions. The practice is metal free, providing composite (white) fillings, zirconium and porcelain crowns and veneers. In office
Tracy Taddey, D.D.S. and John Taddey, D.D.S. whitening is also available. Dental hygiene is stressed as the Taddeys believe oral health is important in total body

health and well being. Recent studies have shown connections between poor oral hygiene and diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular
disease, arthritis, etc. “One of our newest additions is a high-tech instrument to detect early signs of oral cancer while it still in the treatable stage. We incorporate it into our routine examination at dental hygiene visits,” Dr. John Taddey said. “As well as focusing on overall health, beauty is also a significant part of our practice,” said Dr. Tracy Taddey. Her background as a Beauty and Fashion Editor at ELLE Magazine in New York City has led to her emphasis on cosmetic dentistry. With her advanced education in Smile Design it is now possible for a patient to visualize and see the final result before beginning any treatment. She explained, “With smile design we customize to the patient’s wishes such detail as tooth color, length, shape and texture. It is very rewarding to change someone’s smile and watch confidence and self images soar.” — Tracy Taddey, D.D.S. and John Taddey, D.D.S. are located at 875 Prospect St., Suite 301. They are open Monday-Thursday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Friday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. (858) 454-9333. lajolladentist.com The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

La Jolla lifeguard celebrates retirement at WindanSea BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN ecently retired lifeguard Mark Feighan, recipient of a Medal of Valor, spent his last shift in the service watching the waves at WindanSea Beach, Friday, June 24. “This is where it all started. I was recruited off the beach back in the early ’80s by Jimmy Canale. I grew up around the corner here. This is home,” he said. The 55-year-old La Jollan worked in the San Diego lifeguards boat service for the past 20 years. He participated in the rescue of six capsized boaters in 2010, and for that heroic action, he received the Medal of Valor and was named “Lifeguard of the Year.” After his last shift ended at 5 p.m., Feighan celebrated his retirement with family and friends. Some 100 people attended the party, including retired San Diego lifeguard Jimmy Canale, who said of Feighnan, “As a lifeguard, Mark was off the charts. The city was so lucky to have him, and he’s the nicest guy I’ve ever met.” One of the vessels Feighan worked on for two decades made an appearance at WindanSea Beach to launch a water cannon aimed at the sky as a farewell salute to its former member. Feighan said that although he loved being

a lifeguard, he is looking forward to taking care of his family. “I have a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old and I’m going to be pretty much part of their lives on a daily basis now,” he said. Next week, La Jolla Light will launch a summer series titled, “Meet Your Lifeguards,” so to commemorate Feighan’s community service, we passed him the first questionnaire:
What do you like the most about your job?
“Sitting at the beach, getting to work out ... but the best part is definitely helping people. Some days you save people’s lives, and that’s an amazing feeling. Especially when it involves Mother Nature, the ocean.”
Got a safety tip for beach-goers?
“Always swim near a lifeguard and always swim with somebody else. Learn how to swim, ask the lifeguards questions about the conditions. Know your ability, don’t try to overdo what you cannot handle.”
What is your favorite beach in La Jolla? “WindanSea because of the surf, the people and the beauty of it.”

FROM NO SIDEWALKS, A1 by gates and driveways. “That’s what they call ‘paper streets,’ ” said La Jolla Develpment Permit Review Committee member Mike Costello. “They seemed like a good idea when the city was laid out, but then things happened and the city decided to direct traffic some other way.”
What is an easement?
Environmental and land-use attorney Marco Gonzalez explained that an easement is “a burden on a piece of property that allows someone or something to be on that property.” There are different types of easements; some permit the existence of utilities, electricity posts, phone towers or sewers, and others mark the presence of public thoroughfares (right-of-ways). Easements can be private or public. However, Gonzalez pointed out, “A public easement says it’s for the public use and enjoyment, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the public gets to go on it; it could be a public easement for a public infrastructure.” In the subdivision maps of Ludington Heights, the easements are described as “5-foot paths,” in Muirlands, they’re referred to as “lanes.” Although the language seems to reveal a straightforward intention for pedestrian access, the experts don’t necessarily agree with that notion. “(In Ludington Heights) they used those paths to run sewer and utility lines,” said land-use expert Mike Pallamary. However, the map differentiates two kinds of easements, “5-foot path” and “10-foot
A tree grows among two properties where a path should connect two streets in Ludington Heights.
A hydrant blocks what in old maps shows up as a ‘5-foot path.’ easement for water pipe.” Bill Harris, communications officer with the City of San Diego added, “A 5-foot path is not typically a sufficient pedestrian path. It’s not what we would consider a pedestrian path. It might be a pathway that would grant access to utilities, access to something we needed to provide the properties with, that sort of thing.” But after studying the maps used for this report, Gonzalez concluded that many of them seemed to be intended for pedestrian use. “A number of the identified pathways, walkways, and (likely) stairways are not visible. However, it’s hard to tell from the maps whether these were intended to be public easement for community mobility, or whether they were intended to be access opportunities for individual parcels. “So, for instance, on Muirlands Drive, the
‘lane’ between parcels 22 and 23 is clearly not there. But, whether this was required for fire access, ingress/egress, or some other reason, I can’t tell. Similarly, the ‘walk op’ connecting Castellana Road and Crespo Drive seems as though it should provide a public thoroughfare, but clearly does not exist on the grounds … I couldn’t find any of them, and wonder whether they were extinguished by agreement of the parties, or just blocked over time.” In Muirlands current parcel maps, an easement connecting Muirlands Vista Way with Muirlands Drive has a side comment that reads “public walk.” Kristy Reeser, deputy director at the street division of the City of San Diego Transportation and Storm Water Department said that the use that the easements were intended for varies a case-by-case. “(These
easements) are not surprising to us, there are ‘paper streets’ all over the city, some of them are entries to canyons. They were originally mapped out by a developer or somebody a long time ago,” she said.
Who maintains an easement?
The answer to who is responsible for maintaining a designated easement is not an easy one. In theory, the California Civil Code states that a private easement must be privately maintained, but when it comes to public easements, “this gets complicated,” Pallamary said. “The city never owns any streets, but it has a public right on behalf of the public to use the streets.” Harris explained, “You have responsibility for everything to the center of the street in front of your home.” It’s the owners responsibility to maintain the sidewalk

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids?
PHOTOS BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
‘Some (paths) were created as pedestrian amenities when the subdivisions were laid out or turned in to the city for approval ... overtime, for one reason or another, due to the lack of pedestrians and the lack of interest, they have not been maintained,’ said Bill Harris, communications officer with the City of San Diego. adjacent to their property. So, it could be argued that it was the owner of the abutting property who had to maintain designated easements. But Harris pointed out, “every area, depending on when it was built, is affected by different kinds of regulations.” Reeser clarified, “If they are not a developed street, and are not opened for traffic, the city does not maintain ‘paper streets’ unless they are an imminent safety hazard. Unless they are part of a park, then Parks and Recreation maintains them. Generally, it means vehicular traffic.” Gonzalez had a direct answer to the easement question. “Nobody needs to maintain it. Just because the easement is on paper doesn’t mean it has to be improved or maintained or anything. The city would have to make sure that the public use of that easement doesn’t degrade the burdened property.” In the coastal areas, Gonzalez continued, the existence of “prescriptive easements” is common. “A prescriptive easement is when the public gets a right to go over someone’s property, just by virtue of having done it for more than five years,” he said. The easements found by La Jolla Light have clearly not been used for years. Overgrown, fenced off, or encroached upon, they just aren’t there. According to the San Diego Municipal Code, that is illegal. “It is unlawful for any person to erect, place, allow to remain, construct, establish, plant, or maintain any vegetation or object on any public street, alley, sidewalk, highway, or other public property or public right-of-way, except as otherwise provided by this Code,” the Municipal Code reads. But not all easements that appear in the original subdivision maps are found in the current parcel maps. In all likelihood, these easements have been formally “extinguished.” Pallamary, who has worked for property owners who had effectively extinguished easements that ran through their lots, explained that the process starts by the owner seeking a vacation of the easement with the city. “The easements are no longer footpaths, in other words, they have no function and stuff grows on it, so the city has gotten rid of a lot of them. Many property owners have inadvertently, fenced them out. The fact that the city doesn’t observe these easements or protect them, speaks volumes of their lack of function,” he said. But, Gonzalez argued, before making changes on their land, property owners have to request title reports. “When you get a
permit to build your driveway or your fence, or whatever you’re going to build, the city always looks at the title reports to see if there are easements on that part of the property. Often people go and build stuff without getting permits, and that’s where they trespass onto the easements.” However, Harris said, title reports don’t always provide easy-to-read information for the average user. “Unless you literally get a survey to show what those distances mean, you are probably operating from an assumption. If you don’t see an open and accessible pathway that was once a pathway, may in fact now have been incorporated into your property. That assumption isn’t malicious, but it may be mistaken.” Gonzalez added, “I think the question is more ‘Who can enforce the easement?’ versus ‘Who must maintain the easement?’”
Can these paths be enforced?
“Anytime there’s a public easement, the public can use it, the public can enforce it, or the city could enforce it,” Gonzalez said. “Typically, what happens is you call code enforcement, and officers come out and say, ‘Hey, you built a fence or a structure over the easement and you didn’t get permits for it.’ ” If the easements were to be enforced, he added, it would be taxpayers paying for the cost of building them. Pallamary expressed concern with the high cost of enforcing the easements. “Can you imagine the costs associated with opening these paths up? It would be prohibitive, and I’m not sure at the end of the day if the rewards will be that beneficial. It’s a cost-benefit analysis,” he said. Harris pointed to an easement issue that occurred in the Rolando area of San Diego. Some 15 years ago, the city found out that several staircases had been placed to connect properties through the canyons. It turned out the easements there were considered city facilities that had to be maintained. “Upon that point, the adjacent property took care of them,” he said. In the case of the forgotten easements unveiled by La Jolla Light, Harris said the city will study them “on a case by case basis.” “We don’t ever want to give up public access where public access is appropriate and serves the public good,” he said. “We would never give up land that was supposed to be for the good of San Diegans as a whole ... in terms of enforcement, based on the information you are providing, we need to look at every one of these to see if they are in our inventory or right-of-way, and then we have to make a determination of whether they need to be maintained.”

‘Blocked’ sidewalks Tarnish Our Jewel
T
hank you for the informative article in the June 23 La Jolla Light about the lack of sidewalks and pedestrian safety in many La Jolla neighborhoods. Our community would benefit greatly from measures like “road-dieting” and prioritizing infrastructure for walking and biking. Why are homeowners permitted to have mailboxes and landscaping on the sidewalk? Max and Kaia
More sidewalks needed than article mentioned ■ I want to thank La Jolla Light reporter María José Durán for shining a light on La Jolla’s missing sidewalks with her articles. I look forward to the next installation in this series. I hope María is allowed time and space to cover areas of La Jolla that badly need sidewalks but do NOT include the challenges found on Mt. Soledad. A perfect example is the lower stretch of Calle Del Oro when it starts the eastward climb from its intersection with La Jolla Shores Drive. This street has plenty of room and an overabundance of pedestrians, especially in the summer. The strangest thing is that Calle Del Oro does have a sidewalk higher up the hill where it is not needed as badly. I’m not familiar with where the mayor’s “additional sidewalks” are being installed, but I hope this is near the top of the list. Just visit the
intersection of Calle Del Oro and La Jolla Shores Drive on any summer weekend to see how many families are forced to walk in the street (around a blind turn) to return to their cars after a day at the beach. Perhaps the residents along that stretch will be upset to have a sidewalk installed, but it’s not their business. This is exactly what the city’s right-of-ways are for. Let’s not wait for a child to get injured or killed because the budget didn’t allow for a sidewalk where it is so badly needed. Jim Smith ■ It’s great to see the La Jolla Light promoting the idea of making La Jolla more pedestrian-friendly. But as a daily runner, I can tell you the danger is not the lack of sidewalks in hilly neighborhoods, but the lack of traffic control and cross walks at busy intersections. Perhaps the worst spots are near the entrance to Mt. Soledad Park. Every day hundreds of pedestrians and bicyclists who walk, run or bike
to The Cross must dart across traffic. Anyone coming up from The Summit along Via Casa Alta faces a steady stream of traffic when they reach La Jolla Scenic. This intersection is desperately in need of a flashing crosswalk like the ones installed on La Jolla Boulevard. Equally as bad, about 200 yards down Via Capri, anyone who wants to cross and take the path down to Hillside (and there are lots of people who do this) takes their life in their hands trying to do so. During morning rush hour, traffic streams by with only the smallest breaks. Here, too, we desperately need a flashing crosswalk. I encourage the La Jolla Light and all its readers to write or e-mail our City Councilmember Sherri Lightner or anyone in San Diego government who can help get flashing crosswalks installed at these two locations.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Beware of barbecued bugs ... What ever happened to the good old days when our worst worries on the Fourth of July were traffic jams and wayward fireworks? A well-warranted worry, according to the Department of Agriculture’s Meat & Poultry Hotline, is food poisoning by nasty E. coli and Salmonella bugs hiding in hot dogs and hamburgers at millions of backyard barbecues. The Hotline’s advice is to grill them longer and hotter. Of course, they avoid mentioning that the high-temperature grilling that kills the bugs also happens to form cancer-causing compounds. Fortunately, some forward-thinking U.S. food manufacturers have solved these issues for us by creating an amazing assortment of healthy and delicious veggie burgers and soy dogs. No nasty pathogens or cancer-causing
compounds in these tasty plant-based foods. They don’t even carry cholesterol, saturated fats, antibiotics or pesticides. And, they are conveniently waiting for us at almost any supermarket. This July 4th offers a great opportunity to declare our independence from the meat industry and to share wholesome veggie burgers and soy dogs with our family and friends. Sheldon Daniels
Residents have concerns after work crews leave I have noticed numerous construction sites throughout La Jolla recently, especially street work on West Muirlands Drive. As a local high school student, my family and I deal with the commute to and from school.
When trying to avoid the masses of families driving on Nautilus Street, West Muirlands provides a quicker journey. During the street’s closure, my morning commute was unaffected, as the road work began after school started. However, my journey home definitely lengthened. I had to wait until May 16 for the street to reopen, according to the sign blocking the street. Sadly, I had to wait again, as the sign’s date suddenly moved into June. Regardless, it is the aftermath of the construction that is unfavorable. After two months of construction, the street was left in a mess of steel panels, or as my dad says, tire-busters. Pointy corners stick out of the street, making for a rough ride. In addition, my family continuously finds water issues in our house. Our freezer recently stopped working and made terrible noises. When the repairman arrived, he explained that a recent water shut-off in La Jolla left sediment
blocking the water line. I find it funny how my family has also experienced issues with sediment blockage in our showers and sinks. In order for the construction to be completed on West Muirlands, it was necessary for the water to be turned off, causing multiple issues. I must ask, are there others who struggle with plumbing issues and tire-busters? Amy Carlyle

School gets Monsanto grant for its gardens
Duke’s hosted Pier to Cove Swim
The Microbials Discovery Team at the Monsanto San Diego Facility gifted the Torrey Pines Elementary School Foundation $8,000 from the Monsanto Fund 2016 site grant initiative to support the school’s Science in the Garden Program. “This grant will enable us to build on our existing organic garden program that offers students hands-on learning experiences. The garden has enabled students to learn about plants and the ecosystems in which they live … strengthening students’ understanding of science practices as we nurture the next generation of scientists and engineers,” said Neha Bahadur, TPESF co-president. This year, the Monsanto Fund awarded more than $1.4 million to nonprofit organizations. monsantofund.org

Enhance La Jolla meetings draw those interested in proposed MAD BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO It’s coming down to the targeted September deadline for establishing a Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) in the Village of La Jolla, which organizers say has been three years in the planning. The La Jolla Community Foundation is leading the charge for a MAD, which it describes as a janitorial department of sorts that will enhance basic city services and ensure that public improvements are funded and maintained. The Foundation reports it has spent about $100,000 on consultants, studies and materials to set the MAD up according to California Law. The community outreach campaign included two question-and-answer sessions June 22 at La Jolla Rec Center, where MAD booster Mark Dibella (also manager of the La Valencia Hotel) explained the features of and reasons for a MAD in town. “On my way over to this meeting,” he told the assemblage of 75 residents at the 10:30 a.m. session, “I walked by nine vacant storefronts, three dead trees, numerous tree wells filled with weeds and debris, three over-flowing
trash cans, and dozens of cracked sidewalks. If not a MAD to address these ongoing frustrations, then what? “UTC is hot on our trail,” Dibella continued. “They’re establishing a massive mixed-use community that is offering ‘the La Jolla experience’ at UTC. On a galloping horse, La Jolla looks great, but if you get off and walk around … it’s something else.” The proposed MAD includes residential (16 percent), commercial, public and non-profit property owners in the Village. Residential property owners would pay a MAD fee through their property taxes (about $87 annually), while commercial and public properties would be assessed based on lot square footage, and non-profit property owners would pay based on square footage, but at a reduced rate. Dibella said organizers have acquired the signatures of close to 40 percent of those within the MAD, including many residents and prominent property owners like The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Bishop’s School, La Jolla Presbyterian Church

and the La Jolla Music Society’s new Performing Arts Center. “They get the big picture of what this investment would mean in the Village,” Dibella said. The next step is to submit the signatures to the city for validation, and then a city council vote. If the council approves the MAD proposal, the city would mail out a ballot in September to all parties within the MAD (required by State Constitution), putting the measure up for public vote. If all steps get a green light, assessments would be made at the end of 2017, and the money would be available for civic improvements in January 2018. Dibella said the MAD would be overseen by a committee called Enhance La Jolla, for which he is serving as chair of the Steering Committee. The initial board was appointed for terms ranging 1-3 years. Future directors would be elected by property owners in the district. He said San Diego currently has 62 MADs throughout the city, and he touted the SEE MAD, A31

Magdaline Mannheimer Livingston February 4, 1922 - June 12, 2016
La JoLLa — Beloved mother and grandmother, Magdaline Livingston passed away peacefully from age-related causes in the company of her devoted children. She was preceded in death by her parents, Rabbi Mendel and Helen Silberstein; brother, alex “Shep”; sister, alice; former husband and father of her children, Lee Mannheimer; and her last love, Dr. Sidney Livingston. She is survived by daughters, Susan and Elissa; son, Eugene (Brigitte); grandchildren, Brooke and Lee; sister, Sarolta (Isaac) Gross; and a loving extended family. Born in Nusfalau, Romania, Magdalena (later renamed Magdaline), with her mother, sisters and brother, sailed from France to the United States aboard the Berengaria in 1932. Reunited with Rabbi Mendel at Ellis Island, the family lived for a time in Fayetteville, NC, and eventually settled in Portsmouth, Va. Magdaline celebrated her 10th birthday in the United States, and although she arrived knowing only Hungarian, she graduated high school at age 18, speaking English with a southern flair. Blessed with beauty and a vivacious spirit, Magdaline loved to dance. The cha-cha, mambo, and foxtrot were her favorites, and she would
happily teach anyone who wanted to learn. She was a formidable Bridge player and sought-after partner who also enjoyed Mahjong and the camaraderie of friendly competition. She was deeply religious and generously gave of her time teaching Sunday School and assisting in medical clinics. For several years Magdaline worked as a secretary in the fields of law and real estate. a graveside service was held on June 15, 2016, at the Home of Peace Cemetery, officiated by Rabbi Philip Graubart, to whom the family is very grateful. We also wish to express our appreciation for the attentive compassion shown to our mother by the nurses and staff at the Vi Care Center, and by Marilyn Jones of Good Care. all of us will dearly miss our dancing queen.

Both the 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. MAD community outreach meetings June 22 at the Rec Center, drew a full house. FROM MAD, A30 success of the MAD in Bird Rock, which was established 10 years ago, spearheaded by resident Joe LaCava. Many credit the Bird Rock MAD for uplifting the community in many ways. A MAD for the Shores is also being discussed by the La Jolla Shores Association. Dibella said the Village MAD would support the efforts of other community groups, like the La Jolla Village Merchants Association and Parks & Beaches in their efforts to make improvements in town. Dibella pointed to the proposed Prospect Street Belvedere Promenade (which would give the Village a Town Square) and new restrooms at Scripps Park, as top priorities for MAD support. “And because the MAD is first and foremost a janitorial service,” Dibella stated, “It would supplement city trash pickup with additional stops, power-wash the streets as needed, provide graffiti control and maintain the trees, plantings and other streetscapes in the Village.” The city had three representatives at the meeting, who all spoke favorably about the power of a MAD to get things done. Business Improvement District (BID) specialist Liz Studebaker told attendees concerned that city services might be reduced with a MAD, that “general, baseline services would not be interrupted.” Added Louis Ojeda of the city’s Economic Development and Tourism
Support Program staff, “With a MAD, you’ll have an administrator to ensure the city is doing what it’s supposed to do. It’s extra accountability. You’ll have someone connected to city departments to get it done! … someone reporting potholes, city lights out, dangerous trees …” A resident who said she lived on Torrey Pines Road stood to thank the Community Foundation and all those involved with the MAD proposal. “It’s hard to imagine anyone who wouldn’t support this. It’s time for action if we want to restore La Jolla’s beauty for both residents and visitors.” Dibella acknowledged her comment and added that misinformation must not derail a MAD for the Village. “That’s why we’re meeting with the community and willing to talk with anyone or any group who has concerns. I heard a rumor that the MAD wanted to put a Ferris Wheel at Scripps Park, crazy stuff like that … the real facts and figures are all online at enhancelajolla.org” Once the MAD is up and running, Enhance La Jolla would begin private fundraising for capital projects including new, upgraded trash cans; benches; tree canopies; signage improvements; public art; and traffic calming projects. The Enhance La Jolla board includes Bill Tribolet, Steve Haskins, Ed Witt, Dawn Davidson, Mark Dibella, George Hauer, Kathryn Kanjo, Leon Kassel, David Marino, Andy Nelson, Phyllis Pfeiffer, Hans Peter Wagener and Nancy Warwick.

For the last eight years, he has served as state chair for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Federal Judicial Selection Committee, working to find the most qualified judicial candidates for the Federal bench in California. What brought you to La Jolla? My dad was born in St. Louis. He served in the Navy in World War II and survived the battle of Leyte Gulf. He swore that if he lived through that experience, he would leave St. Louis and move to La Jolla, which he did in 1947. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I grew up in La Jolla when there were no homes on the hills. I would have liked to see a lower density of housing in La Jolla, which I believe would have helped keep its charm and reduce the current traffic. Who or what inspires you? My father – David S.

Women’s Dive Day
returns to La Jolla Shores A group of women gather before a dive.
DANIEL TAYENAKA
Free event encourages SCUBA certification BY ASHLEY MACKIN o bring women divers together and even out the playing field in a largely male-dominated sport, the second Women’s Dive Day will be Saturday, July 16 in La Jolla Shores. With a chance to chat with certified female SCUBA divers, ask questions, go on a dive or get certified, the event will start at 8 a.m. with a dive at 9 a.m. Breakfast and coffee will follow. Presented by La Jolla Shores-based SCUBA and Snorkeling Center, the free event is one of many worldwide to help mark Women’s Dive Day. Jodie Booras with SCUBA and Snorkeling Center explained the event started last year to encourage women to become SCUBA certified. “SCUBA diving used to be male-dominated because old school diving equipment was this big heavy suit, and the sport was seen as dangerous because there wasn’t enough research on how to be safe ... it was mostly big bulky Navy men who could get the heavy gear on and go for it,” she said. “Now the gear is not as heavy and research is better, so women are getting involved. We’re not trying to make it a female-dominated sport, we just wanted to even participation out.” Katie Thompson, marketing director for the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) said the ratio of male to female SCUBA divers is about 65 percent men to 35 percent women. “We thought

Women’s Dive Day participants meet up prior to the 2015 event in La Jolla. we could break down these barriers and create a community of women in diving and balance out that ratio a little bit, so we created a day to get people together.” She added that the sport in general can be intimidating. “It requires unfamiliar environments that you have to be trained to be in, and heavy gear and historically it’s been a guy thing. We’re trying to show that there are so many women of all ages and abilities, and dispel myths of what it takes
to be a diver by showing (demographics) through events like this. There is not a lot of awareness, instead there are pre-conceived notions.” At its inaugural event, different communities hosted different gatherings. Some held dives, some held beach parties or barbecues. At the 2015 La Jolla Shores event, an unexpected storm dampened attendance, Booras said. “We had 65 RSVPs SEE DIVE DAY, B6

Day 1 in La Jolla; June 30, 1973
Coming to California
J
La Jolla Cultural Partners
une 30 will be the 43rd anniversary of my former husband and I arriving in San Diego. A less auspicious beginning you’d be hard put to find. It had all started four years earlier shortly after my husband, a recent medical school graduate, and I were married in 1969 during the height of the Vietnam War. Mere weeks into his internship year, he received a letter asking if he wanted to go to Vietnam next month as a general medical officer, or serve two years after he’d finished his specialty training (a program called the Berry Plan). Well, that was pretty easy. A year of internship and three years of residency training later, we were assigned to San Diego. We’d never been to California before but reports from the newspapers in Denver had formed vague images in our minds of eternal sunshine, swaying palm trees, exotic Spanish addresses, nude encounter groups, mass murders, and drive-in churches. So we were (mostly) pretty excited. I’m still trying to analyze why everything went so wrong during that move. Maybe it was my husband’s ambivalence about a two-year assignment to MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot) — a truly abysmal use of his specialty skills — that led him to rupture his Achilles tendon playing tennis a
mere five days before he had to report for duty in San Diego. We immediately tried to get an extension on his July 1 report date, but were told to show up or “pay the consequences.” (Firing squad?) Maybe our cat, Harry, wouldn’t have had a psychotic break if the freight train hadn’t passed right next to our car in Glenwood Springs. (The poor kitty spent the rest of the trip in a catatonic state underneath his litter box.) And maybe I, as the only hope for this mobile sanitarium, shouldn’t have eaten the burrito from the roadside stand the very first day, forcing my disabled husband to drive. And thus we wound our abysmal way across the West in the late June heat, taking scheduled breaks for my husband to take aspirin for his spinal anesthesia headache and unscheduled breaks for me to be violently sick. The third day we were bombing along at 70 mph when I signaled him to pull over. “I can’t right now,” he said, checking his rearview mirror. “Try to get your head out the window.” The harsh reality is that when you stick your head out the window to be sick at 70 mph, it all blows right back in, splat against the back window.
“Did you have to do that?” my husband grumbled, finally able to pull over. “Now I can’t see out the back.” I opened the car door and fell out into the scrub brush. Because of his heavy plaster cast and crutches, he couldn’t get out without my help. “Inga,” he said anxiously. “Get up. People will think you are dead.” “That’s all right,” I said. “I am very close to it.” (After three days of severe nausea, you’d sell your grandmother not to have to get into a moving vehicle.) Our first night in San Diego had been pre-booked at the officers’ quarters at Miramar Naval Air Station, which we were dismayed to note when we arrived expressly prohibited pets. Neither of us slept that night, not only because of the deafening noise of jets, but because we were terrified they’d find our cat and shoot it. (If they were willing to ice my husband, what chance did the cat have?) We fled early the next morning to the Biltmore Motel in Bird Rock, which also expressly prohibited pets, then went down to MCRD to buy uniforms. As I drove, my husband was frantically studying the officers manual trying to memorize rank insignias
and figure out who was supposed to salute whom. As it turned out, it didn’t really matter initially, because with crutches, he would have fallen flat on his face. Unfortunately, in our absence, Harry decided to sunbathe in the window of our motel room, even though we’d closed the curtains. When we returned, we found a “what part of ‘NO PETS’ do you not understand?” note on the door. We were evicted. Meanwhile, we borrowed a wheelchair from MCRD so that I could roll my husband around downtown La Jolla (location of our next motel). Trying to get down to the water, I lost control of him on the steep hill on the south end of Prospect Street where he crashed into a storm drain, miraculously not breaking the other leg. This wheelchair stuff is harder than it looks. So that’s our Day 1 in La Jolla photo, 43 years ago this week. Fortunately, it all got better (well, until we divorced 10 years later). Every time I look at this picture, I can’t figure out: how on earth did I get him off the ground? — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

but there were nasty storms, so some people cancelled, but about 38 people showed up. This year we’re hoping for about 60-75 people to attend.” Worldwide, the goal is to have 500 localized events. The La Jolla event will open the door to snorkelers as well, Booras said, because a lot of divers started by snorkeling. “You don’t need to be certified to snorkel, but you can still get out there and see all the amazing marine life ... the interest is there,” she said. Those who want to take the leap from snorkeling to SCUBA diving will have a chance to talk to others who have done the same. “Online research can be overwhelming and conflicting, but at this event, women can socialize, talk to their would-be peers, ask if they were nervous, say this is what my fears and thoughts are, because the experienced divers might have had those same fears and thoughts.” Booras argues that once a diver gets certified and can go out and enjoy the waters of La Jolla, “It’s a really good, relaxing escape,” she said. “Once you get underwater, it’s quiet and you can’t talk to anyone. It’s a good time to be in your own thoughts ... not to mention the fact that 71 percent of the Earth is covered in water, so if you aren’t a water person, you’re missing 71 percent of the Earth.” ■ IF YOU GO: Although the event is free, organizers provide breakfast boxes and take-aways, so an RSVP is required by July 8 at (858) 565-9474 or to jodie@oceanenterprises.com or oceanenterprises.com
Integrity and credibility do matter. I have tried to follow his footsteps.
San Diego Aviators and Mitchell Thorp Foundation Team Up p to Kickoff the WTT Tennis Season
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would ask Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Clarence Darrow, John Adams, Justice William Douglas, Gerry Spence and my father. What are you currently reading? I recently finished a trilogy by Richard J. Evans about the rise of Hitler in Germany and his impact, specifically in Germany, until the conclusion of the war. It was very chilling in documenting a horrific experience we should never forget, and the dangers of dictatorship. What is it that you most dislike? I have a lot of respect for the legal profession and the lawyers and judges who serve in it. We have the finest legal system in the world. I have no tolerance for lawyers who cheat their clients and dishonor the legal system. What is your most-prized possession? Without question, the photographs of my family. What do you do for fun? I have a passion for skiing, particularly in Deer Valley, and a lifelong love of tennis. What is your philosophy of life? Each day brings its challenges. It is how you deal with those challenges that makes all the difference. I have always tried to respond to challenges in a positive way and always encourage those around me to a higher level of accomplishment. What would be your dream vacation? It’s hard to beat Bora Bora with my beautiful wife, Lisa.
Epic firework viewing all the way up the coast!

Scout builds ‘racetrack’ for Torrey Pines Church daycare center BY ASHLEY MACKIN mong the outdoor play equipment at Torrey Pines Church Daycare Center, which includes an enclosed playground with climbing structures and tactile activities, the church has “wiggle racer” scooters, small bicycles and tricycles. But without a smooth place to ride them, the vehicles have sat in a bin for years, unused. Enter 15-year-old Troop 271 Boy Scout Nicolas Cridlig, who for his Eagle Scout Project, built a “racetrack” for the children Nicolas Cridlig at the center. Concluding more than a year of planning, Nicolas put the final coat of paint on the track this week. “The Torrey Pines Church is our troop’s sponsoring church and they have been so supportive of us. They let us use their facilities when we need to have meetings and rent surfboards to us when we want them. I wanted to do something for them,” he said. So Nicolas met with church representatives to see how he could help. “They said they have been wanting to use these (scooters) for years, but they needed a track. If I really wanted to help, they said, I could build them the track.” Because an Eagle Scout project, “is a large community service project to give back to the community that has nurtured you,” Nicolas said he wanted to “do something for kids.” As the highest rank given to a Boy Scout, he

equated becoming an Eagle Scout to earning a high school diploma. Starting in February of last year, Nicolas and his troopmates spent several months studying the area and evaluated what needed to be done. The first thing was to move a 9,000-pound shed – not to mention finding a free weekend when there wasn’t something on the church calendar – that was in the spot where they wanted to construct the track. In the meantime, Nicolas reached out to companies that might be willing to donate time or services to the project. Those that responded, for which Nicolas said he is grateful, include Salah Construction, Rey Robles Concrete, Hanson Aggregates, Bob’s Cranes, Home Depot, and Smart & Final. “After we moved the shed, we detailed the design of the track itself,” he explained. “I ran my design past some people in my troop to see if it was feasible or what I could improve. I presented the (revised) plans to my scoutmaster and the church, and they said some of my ideas were too extravagant. In some areas, it was clear I didn’t have much idea of what I was doing.” After further refinements, he got the first stamp of approval, and began raising funds and contacting people to carry out the work. The track shape resembles a figure-eight and is supposed to replicate a NASCAR track, which goes counter-clockwise so riders are always making a left turn. It varies between 5 and 7 feet wide, so tiny riders can have a real race on it, or fit two or three riders on at once. The track itself was estimated to cost

As it nears completion, Nicolas Cridlig stands in the middle of the racetrack he planned for his Eagle Scout project. The ‘wiggle racer’ is in the foreground. $5,000, the pricetag jumps to $7,000 with building costs added in – all of which was donated or paid by funds raised. Last month, the execution began. “On June 18, we jackhammered the dirt and placed ‘rails’ so to speak, to give it form, guided by wooden stakes in the ground, and laid on the wire mesh to prevent cracking as time passes. At the last minute, I added a drain so the center doesn’t become a pond when it rains, which connects to the playground drain,” Nicolas said.
“On June 22, we poured the concrete. The truck arrived at 7 a.m. and was out by 8 a.m. Workers had what looked like a garden hose, four feet in diameter, which just spewed concrete. So it went really fast. They gave it a ‘brushed finished’ to give it more traction. It was just one of those small details I thought would make the track more enjoyable.” On June 28 the track was painted with dash lines, arrows and a starting line. Nicolas said the lessons learned in the effort included time management, how to

So we had to plan around that.” He added that he also learned to keep directions short and simple. “Being an Eagle Scout is really about being a leader … someone who can manage things effectively ... in an emergency, there are all these first responders hidden in the community ... this project taught me that
I’m not supposed to do the work specifically, I’m supposed to demonstrate leadership. That means knowing when to delegate jobs, manage time, make sure everyone knows what needs to be done and encourage them, so they enjoy working on the project.” He said he plans to give “thank you” plaques to those who helped. “People really came together for this,” Nicolas said. “As our population grows ever larger, and we have less and less resources, it’s by coming together that we can keep the world a good place.”

“Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.” — Louis D. Brandeis
When did the original U.S. flag of 13 stars and stripes change? The flag was first authorized by Congress June 14, 1777, who decreed there should be a star and a stripe for each state, making 13 of both, for the states at the time had just been erected from the original 13 colonies. The U.S. flag was first flown from Fort Stanwix, on the site of the present city of Rome, New York, on Aug. 3, 1777. In 1791, Vermont, and in 1792, Kentucky, were admitted to the Union and the number of stars and stripes was raised to 15 in correspondence. As other states came into the Union it became evident there would be too many stripes. So in 1818, Congress enacted that the number of stripes be reduced and restricted henceforth to 13, representing the original states, while a star should be added for each succeeding state. That law is stands today.

Look closely, and you’ll see a SHIP in those WOODS, the hidden name of an artful non-profit formerly based in a sprawling, mid-century rental in the hills of Del Mar. There, for five years, until their lease ended last summer, they welcomed the public to meet a changing cast of visiting artists and immerse themselves in a world of thought-provoking installations. It took awhile to find, buy and remodel a new venue, suitable for the kind of cultural crossroads they wanted, but on June 4, they were ready.

ENHANCE LA JOLLA MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
MCASD Education Curator Cris Scorza with her husband, Rodrigo Muniz, and their daughter, Renata Scorza Muniz was a great meet-and-greet featuring site-specific installations and performances, indoors and out, by 26 very different art-and-science creatives. It was really a kind of Alice in Wonderland adventure, with visitors free to wander about and make their own discoveries, like climbing a ladder to peer into Adam Belt’s foggy tower; fondling The League of Imaginary Scientists’ sensitive-touch plant to create a rainbow; sampling the cotton candy spun by Lissa Corona in “Sweetness”; sharing a Soup Toast with Wendell Kling (soup provided by La Jolla’s Whiskenladle Hospitality); following winding garden pathways and finding, amid the botanical delights, unexpected art-surprises, like Eva De Leon’s tiny hut-in-the-woods, where, once inside, you were enveloped in a red mist and tuned into the hut’s own heartbeat. ■ If you missed the opening, worry not, there’s much more to come.

Artists share spotlight at dad, daughter show BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ust in time for Father’s Day, Becky Guttin and her dad, Rafael “Fallo” Mareyna, had their first joint art show, “24 Years Apart,” at Valencia Gallery in Liberty Station. Guttin, a sculptor born in Mexico City, has been living in La Jolla since 1999. Her works are in public and private collections around the world, and one of her large-scale pieces, “Goddess Gourd,” can be seen in the Wolfstein Sculpture Park at Scripps Memorial Hospital. Her parents moved to San Diego in 1997, as a change from the altitude and pollution of Mexico City. “My dad started painting when he was young,” Guttin said. “I grew up in his studio, and he had several shows of his own. But with a wife and two kids, he had to make a living, so he quit painting and became a stockbroker for the next 30 years.
J
After he retired, they moved here, so there was a 40-year gap in his art career.” “A pause,” Mareyna said, smiling. “Then in 2005, he had a stroke, and it took him a few years to recover,” Guttin continued. “I was doing art therapy at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas as a volunteer, and I knew art would help him, so I brought him to my studio, off Miramar Road. I had everything laid out for him, canvases, brushes, everything ready. And from that day on, he started painting again, and had his work shown at La Jolla Art Association in the Shores.” “Becky is a blessing for my wife and me,” Mareyna said. “She started me painting again. But all that time, I never quit drawing; I’ve been drawing since I was seven. I always have a pencil or a pen in my hand.” For three years, the two shared Guttin’s studio. “Until we
started fighting for space!” Mareyna laughed. “We both were so prolific, I had to come in with boxing gloves!” Guttin said. “Then my neighbor left, and my dad took over the studio next door. And a year and a half ago, my parents moved to La Jolla, so now we’re neighbors there, too!” Father and daughter were thrilled to show their works together, and pleased at the public response. “June 6 is my dad’s birthday — this was his 86th — and the show was a good birthday present,” Guttin said. More of her work will be on view July 22-Aug. 27 at Sergott Contemporary Art in Rancho Santa Fe, as part of an exhibition called “Neo-Kitsch,” in which artists from six different Latin American countries explore their identities, art history and culture with bright-colored imagery. sergottart.com/art-events/neo-kitsch/

Rethinking In-Patient Addiction Rehab Programs: Why they are not always the best choice A staggering statistic: about 120,000 people die of addiction every year—in just the United States. That means that 350 people lose the battle against addiction and their lives EACH DAY. An addiction can strike people when they least expect it: as they’re trying to handle an increase in their workload, childcare or child-rearing, mental health issues, family issues, or for no reason whatsoever. It often begins innocently—trying to relieve the stress of everyday life, or just to try
something new. Before the person knows it, they’re turning to the drug or alcohol as a way of coping with any negative feelings or stress in their lives. They may find they need more and more of the drug or drink to gain the same benefits from it. Efforts to scale back or to stop altogether are difficult or next-to-impossible. Drug addiction and alcohol addiction is usually not easily overcome on one’s own. Most people who face an addiction to a substance or alcohol need additional help— which makes treatment so important. Unfortunately, treatment methods are not foolproof, and the ones that show the most effectiveness are cost- or situationallyprohibitive for many people suffering from addiction. And the success rates of treatment are difficult to know exactly; for one reason, centers often only quote the number of patients who complete the program (which seems to be around 30%). However, it’s also believed that only 30% of patients stay clean for a year. Some
treatment centers consider themselves effective if their patients don’t die. Many people seek treatment from inpatient addiction rehab centers, which shows the desire to break the addiction. However, there is no standard for treatment among these facilities. Some specialize in past-life therapy, while others are programs that claim “tough-love” by making patients scrub floors with toothbrushes or do other painstaking but menial tasks. Sometimes, these centers are run by “specialists”—not doctors or psychologists or other licensed practitioners, but former addicts who have gotten “clean.” So what can a person struggling with addiction, or a loved one of that person, do? First, it is important to note that not all treatments work for all people. There is no single right way to treat a drug or alcohol addiction. And while popular groups like Alcoholics Anonymous preach that abstinence is the only way you can kick an addiction, drugs and alcohol become
addictive when the brain loses its volition and becomes rewired to need the substance. What may have started as a choice is no longer a choice, and stopping an addiction goes well beyond “choosing” to stop or “wanting” to stop—and doing so “cold turkey” can cause additional physical and psychological harm, and often results in relapse. Therefore, it is also important to understand that morality-based types of therapy, which have been the traditional modes of addiction therapy, often fail because patients are not simply morally weak or bad. Many in-patient facilities require participation in a 12-step program, and for some patients, this entails piling on guilt and depression that might have led to the “self-medication” through substance abuse in the first place.

o help kick off La Jolla Riford Library’s Summer Reading Program — Read for the Win!, which runs through Aug. 15, youth services librarian Angie Stava hosted a scientific Shrinky Dinks workshop, June 21. Children of all ages gathered to color on special plastic sheets, and cut out their designs so Stava could (carefully!) put them in a toaster for about a minute. Fascinated, the young scientists watched the plastic contort and eventually shrink, before taking their creations home.

Marsha Stephanie Blake stars as Lady Macbeth and Jonathan Cake as Macbeth under the direction of Brian Kulick.
Jonathan Cake is Macbeth at The Old Globe Festival Theatre.
PHOTOS BY JIM COX
Globe shines new light on easy-to-get-wrong ‘Macbeth’ BY DIANA SAENGER Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” with all its horrors, tragedies, darkness, betrayal and madness, has garnered favorable reviews for the cast, direction and design at The Old Globe’s outdoor Festival Theatre. Jonathan Cake is Macbeth, a role he said he always wanted to play. “I had opportunities, but they never worked out,” Cake said. “I’m glad, because
this is one of those experiences that has felt wonderfully uncomplicated for such a difficult, complex, famouslyeasy-to-get-wrong play. Maybe it’s do with time, as my life is getting shorter. Shakespeare’s very generous to his male characters, giving them 20 or 30 windows that run throughout this play. The aging ranges from a guy who still wants to be a warrior with ambition for himself and his
wife and his marriage at the beginning of the play, but who then becomes this withered, aged man steeped in horror, loneliness and disappointment. He says, ‘my way of life is fall’n into the sear, the yellow leaf; and that which should accompany old age.’” Brian Kulick directs, and Cake said he was excited to work with him for the first time. “He’s wonderful and he made me feel like a real collaborator,” Cake said. “Any person who plays Macbeth has a bulk of the responsibility every evening, and speaks a higher proportion of the lines than any other Shakespearean character. There are certain times in my life that I’ve done Shakespeare when I felt strangely sort of book-proof. That’s because of the words. Somehow you find yourself living inside the words, and I stopped worrying about whether people liked it or didn’t like it, because the words carry you. “I had that before when I played ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ and in ‘Coriolanus.’ Now, I feel it is a wonderful sense of being transported by these extraordinary words, and I feel privileged to turn up every night and live inside the play.” Many who’ve seen the production have commented on the chemistry between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (Marsha Stephanie Blake) even among the many weird and gruesome goings-on. “Ian McClellan hit it on the head when he described them as ‘the happiest couple in Shakespeare,’” Cake said. “Part of the tragedy for an audience to feel is the spike of horror at their separation. Then there is the increasing isolation and loneliness of this man. “I think we should feel that had they stayed together as jolly happy murderers, they could have almost been content to the end, because at the beginning they are so in love and endlessly optimistic. I’m really
lucky to have an actress like Marsha to do this with. She’s very complementary and a little spitfire, and I’m like a big kid. Our rhythms match each other, so it’s been great fun working with her.” Cake has a favorite scene that takes place after Act Four. “I have a challenge that I have to get through quickly, and I don’t know how to do it quickly. Macbeth comes back on the stage by his bed ravaged by appalling dreams. His life is gone so far down the drain that he now needs to be close to the bed at all times in case he is able to snatch a few minutes of sleep. He’s become like a homeless person in these terrible pajamas, and he’s ravaged by insomnia cutting people’s faces and waving a gun around like the unholy mixture of Joseph Stalin and Howard Hughes. “That’s my favorite scene because it contains appalling moments of self-knowledge and these acts of wildness and beautiful poetry. But it has to happen at a fast pace because the play at this time in the evening cannot slow down, especially in an outdoor theater like this one, because it gets cooler and people get anxious to leave.” The Old Globe’s incredible design team really amazed Cake, he said. “I was astonished by the combination of the director of the company of The Old Globe and its extraordinary backup team. Their technical staff is second to none. I worked all over the world and this play has been a wonderfully, uncomplicated and delightful experience.” If only Shakespeare could see it now. ■ IF YOU GO: “Macbeth,” plays through July 24 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Foods of Red, White and Blue
L
et’s pay tribute to America’s birthday symbolically with red, white and blue foods — not artery-clogging red meat, pasty white bread or stinky blue cheese, rather healthier options to bolster the immune system, dial up energy levels and keep moving and non-moving parts humming. So here’s an A-(merican) List of patriotic fare. The Reds •Cherries are ensconced in our heritage thanks to the apocryphal story of George Washington, master of a new hatchet chopping down his father’s prized English cherry tree. This superfruit is packed with anthocyanin pigments for easing achy arthritic joints, melatonin to regulate circadian sleep patterns, and quercetin to reduce cardio risk factors. Cherry up with sauces drizzled on desserts or pork dishes, dried drupes tossed in warm wilted spinach or fruit salads, or raw ones munched straight-up. •Tomatoes are a treasure-trove of Vitamin C and lycopene, the latter a carotene pigment to protect the family jewels from prostate cancer. Toss sun-dried ones in pastas, whip up salsas, slice on burgers, skewer on kebobs, or grill whole. •The quintessential fruit of summer, the pink-fleshed watermelon is a refreshing, hydrating treat naturally high in potassium and electrolytes. Blend this behemoth beauty with heirloom tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella and basil, or puree into a thirst-quenching agua fresca. •The petite yet potent cranberry was recognized by Native Americans as a healer well before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. The noble cranberry is best known for its anti-adhesive antioxidants, making it bladder’s best friend for warding off pesky infections. Chop raw in relishes to ratchet up turkey burgers or grilled chicken, or toss dried ones in green salads, taboulis, or biscotti for a chewy burst of flavor. •The gold standard of seafood — the lobster — is a scrumptious protein-packed sea treasure with a mother lode of B Vitamins to boost brain health, and mellow out nerves. Try mouth-watering lobster rolls, lobster cocktails, or spicy gazpacho brimming with choice chunks. •The most popular and Vitamin C-rich berry in the world, the strawberry is recommended for everything from dulling a throbbing headache to removing tartar from teeth. Amp up a mixed green salad, fresh squeezed lemonade or ice cream sundaes with this seedy sweetie of summer. The Whites •Melt-in-your-mouth goat cheese is a delightful alternative for those with sensitivities or allergies to moo milk. Enjoy red, white and blue treats like a goat cheese spread dressed with sun-dried tomatoes and Nicoise olives (see recipe),
ENCINITAS
Warm Red, White and Blue Goat Cheese Dip ■ Ingredients • 1 1/4-inch thick slice of Bucheron goat cheese • 6 sundried tomatoes • 6 Nicoise olives • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, (a meaty oil, not too grassy) • Cast iron dish (6 x 1.5-inches deep) ■ Method: Place cheese in center of the dish. Spread olives and tomatoes around the cheese. Pour oil around the cheese. Place on the grill and bake. Make sure it's not too hot or the bottom will burn, but let it get nice and bubbly. —Courtesy, Executive Chef Nathan Coulon, True Food Kitchen or drizzled with an orange blossom honey, blueberry and strawberry sauce. •Thick Greek yogurt with smooth as silk texture and distinct tartness is packed with protein along with immune boosting probiotic cultures. Top fresh berries with a creamy dollop, blend yogurt with cucumber or melons for chilled summer soups, or combine with assorted herbs for a grilling marinade. •The most popular vegetable in this country, the beloved potato has a rich store of essential minerals and vitamins in both its skin and flesh. So keep the spud healthy by laying light on fatty toppings such as butter, sour cream, and crumbled bacon, and don’t deep-fry. •The lily-white Daikon radish adds a moderate to mild kick to assorted salads, cold noodle dishes, burgers, steak and chicken. The Blues •These vibrant tubers once considered food for the gods have dark purple skins with flesh of varying nuances from violet to lavender. The purple potato adds eye candy, rich nutty flavors and loads of antioxidants to roasted root blends, seafood chowders and egg dishes. •One of the few fruits indigenous to North America, the mighty blueberry puts the skids on free radical damage to cells and DNA. •Blue corn is an ancient crop once cultivated by the Pueblo tribes of southwestern regions. Tricky to hybridize or genetically modify, this corn variety is a healthier alternative to its paler siblings, packed with antioxidant pigments and one-third more protein. Go blue with corn chips, tortillas or tamales. •The heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory ripe black olive enlivens everything from savory appetizers to kitschy desserts like a dark chocolate soufflé with candied kalamatas.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
