T
he Surf Moms, a group of almost 10 women who paddle out together off La Jolla beaches, first met nine years ago. “We see the same people in the water every day, because
we surf every day. So when you see the same people over and over, you start talking,” said La Jolla resident Valerie Juboori. “The Surf Moms group got started because we surfed at the same time of day. We would drop our kids off at school, and then everyone would have their stuff in their cars and just head right to La Jolla Shores beach. From there, we expanded,” elaborated Surf Mom and Shores resident Jill Nooren, who moved to the 92037 ZIP code in 2008 from Iowa. SEE WAVE SEEKERS, A14
Rec Center receives $20K from Scripps Foundation Funds will go toward expanded programming, facilities maintenance
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON La Jolla’s Park & Rec (LJPR) advisory board took a break from discussing the La Jolla Rec Center playground renovation (for now) to talk about programming and Rec Center offerings, during its June 28 meeting. The board received a $20,000 grant from the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation to “maintain the physical plant and extend the
current programs,” and with such, discussed ways to improve upon its programming. That said, this fall, the La Jolla Rec Center playground renovation will be re-addressed, and at least three sets of renderings will be presented for community review. The board will also vote at its August meeting on whether a skate park is feasible for the La Jolla Rec Center . SEE REC CENTER, A8

Permitters say ‘nay’ to Calle del Cielo 8-lot subdivision La Jolla Community Planning Association to review project July 6
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
La Jolla Shores resident Bernard Ziegler (center) speaks during public comment at the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee meeting June 27 at the La Jolla Rec Center. ‘In principle, I don’t oppose this project,’ he said, ‘but there are certain aspects about it, and I have had conversations with Benton and Beacham, that trouble me greatly.’
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During a standing-room-only La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) meeting June 27, controversy arose after the presentation of a project to subdivide the last open-space lot in La Jolla Shores. Developed by Louis Beacham, designed by Alcorn & Benton Architects, engineered by Tony Christensen and landscaped by Jim Neri, the project pulls the weight of some of the biggest names in the local construction business. But for PRC board members and area neighbors, that’s not enough. The plans call for an eight-lot subdivision on a 4.45-acre site at 8280 Calle del Cielo. The site is located east of La Jolla Shores Drive and south of Calle del Oro, at the end SEE PERMIT REVIEW, A6

FROM PERMIT REVIEW, A4 of a cul-de-sac. Seven of the eight, approximately half-acre lots would have access from Calle del Cielo and the eighth from Calle Frescota, a private street off La Jolla Shores Drive. The plan calls for grading the parcel and building a road extending Calle del Cielo first, and then constructing the individual, 7,500-square-foot custom houses once buyers are identified. For building the two-story houses, architects are taking advantage of the steep slope within the lot, making the structures look like one-story homes from the east.
Bernie Ziegler speaks at the June 27 La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee meeting. MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
Drainage issues
Civil engineer Christensen explained that the site drains primarily to La Jolla Shores Drive through Calle Frescota. In previous meetings, neighbors reported flooding problems with the runoff coming from the parcel, and were worried about a 14-inch pipe that dispersed the stormwater on the private street before reaching La Jolla Shores Drive. At the June 27 meeting, Christensen announced a change to the original design. “Fifty-five percent of the site runoff will be conveyed in Calle del Cielo and then down into the drainage system on Calle del Oro. We decreased the total runoff to La Jolla Shores Drive for about 51 percent, it should improve the conditions on the street, which we understand are not ideal.” He demonstrated how an 18-inch underground pipe would direct runoff to the storm drain on Calle del Oro, and the pipe on Calle Frescota would be reduced to 10 inches wide. However, that wasn’t enough for neighbors
of the private street. During public comment, Lynn Kavanaugh said, “I’m at the bottom of the hill on La Jolla Shores Drive, where all that drainage is dumping in my front yard. I oppose (this project) vehemently as does my neighbor. The drainage is not workable. You’re ignoring the people who live there and knows better where the water goes. (Your plan) doesn’t make sense to us.” Architect Paul Benton clarified that the developer had compromised to replace the pavement and curb at Kavanaugh’s end of the street to minimize the chances of flooding, but she said she still opposed the drainage “situation.”
Substantial conformance review
For PRC trustee Janie Emerson, her biggest concern with the project is the uncertainty of
what would eventually be built on-site. “I don’t trust the City. We’ve all been doing this long enough, trying to have them adjudicate substantial conformance, and they won’t have it.” Substantial conformance review is a process the final house designs would undergo, wherein the City compares the plans with the building guidelines and checks if they match. Reviewed elements include heights and setbacks. “The City has been very adamant that we put the heights on rooftops, and they want to be able see whether there are significant changes being requested, and if there are, they have to come back to your committee,” Beacham replied. Although the will of trustees was split between those who wanted to approve the
project and those who wanted the plans to come back in a month, the developer requested a vote. “We have met with all the surrounding neighbors, at their homes, on the site, with various committees. We’re committed to hearing everybody’s concerns and doing what we can to mitigate them,” Beacham started. “We redirected 55 percent of the drainage down Calle de Oro, reduced the size of the pipe going down the private drive, at considerable expense. “Our goal is to create a fabulous development, beautiful homes. I’ve been developing in La Jolla for many years and I’m totally committed to this project. If there are any other concerns, we will do the best we can to mitigate them.” A motion to have the applicant come back in July failed 2-2-3. A second motion that findings could not be made for the requested permits, passed 4-1-2. The project will be heard at the next La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, 6 p.m. Thursday, July 6 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.
In other PRC news: A project to repair the canyon-side slope at 7411 Hillside Drive was approved unanimously. Also, the plans for an addition and remodel at 8501 Avenida de las Ondas were heard at the meeting, including a 670-square-foot first floor addition, 1,908-square-foot second floor addition, garage, spa and new deck. The applicant will return at an upcoming meeting. — PRC meets 4 p.m. fourth Tuesdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

FROM REC CENTER, A1 Of the $20,000 grant, acting LJPR chair Mary Coakley Munk told La Jolla Light, “We are so fortunate to have (Scripps Foundation) continue to support the Rec Council and the Rec Center. “We value our partnership with the Scripps Family tremendously. “We’re extremely happy, honored and pleased that they continue to support what we’re trying to do for the community.” In the grant application, she wrote that the funds could be used for “the continuation and expansion of our programs, ongoing maintenance and the much needed renovation of the playground, basketball courts and physical plant.” She added, “We have a championship team and we are moving forward with renewed energy and determination to make the La Jolla Recreation Center a jewel for our community with expanded programs and much improved facilities.” At the meeting, Coakley Munk said, “I think by the end of this year, we should have some new and exciting programs to show that we are making headway.” The board also discussed the current offerings and whether some should be changed, the pay structure revisited and/or “modernized.” The summer programming (much of which has a user-fee) includes children’s sports, music lessons, cooking classes, different yoga and Tai Chi programs, community events and more. However, many of the children’s events have fewer than 10 signed up (as of the June meeting). La Jolla Rec Center Director Nicole Otjens reported that the “Kick It Tuesdays”

class has six children enrolled, and the newly added gymnastics program only has one child enrolled. “It sounds to me like there aren’t more than 15-20 in all the programs we offer all summer and that is really frightening. “ I don’t know whether we need to change the programs we offer, because if we offer a good program, they will come. I think that should be one of our major concerns,” Coakley Munk said. Otjens said the only classes that are consistently doing well (with around 20 regular attendees) are the free exercise classes such as Tai Chi, certain yoga classes and Pilates. For these classes, the teachers donate their services. To get better activities, Coakley Munk suggested using the Scripps grant to pay instructors, so they would not need to charge participants, and could offer the classes for free. “We need to get the kids here one way or another, and this grant could really help with that,” she said.

Applicant Jennie Bryant, who currently offers classes at another area Rec Center, said, “I wanted to propose a dance program to hopefully solve the problem you are having. “We would offer a creative expressions class for preschoolers with a little bit from multiple genres of dance; a hip-hop class; afterschool classes for elementary age; and Zumba for those 15 and older.” With the approval, classes will begin in the fall and be offered twice a week, and cost $55 a month.

■ Meeting postponed: Because several board members will be out of town in July, the board’s next monthly meeting is canceled. The additional month, Coakley Munk said, “will give us time to work on different plans for the playground.” ■ Playground proposals : This fall, the board will present renderings for the playground renovation. Coakley Munk told the Light, “The plan is to have three or four layouts by our August or September meeting. “The layouts have not been finalized, but will include (the playground) as is; moving the basketball courts to the tot lot area; moving the basketball courts to the bigger kids’ playground area; and maybe one or two more alternatives.” ■ Skate park vote: After hearing a controversial proposal to add a skate plaza to the playground, the board scheduled a vote on its feasibility for the June meeting. However, proponents of the proposal were not able to attend, so the vote will be taken in August. Coakley Munk said those who oppose the project could speak at the August meeting to ensure the board is informed of all sides of the issue before it votes. — La Jolla’s Park & Rec board next meets 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23 at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. For more information , visit coakleym@san.rr.com

FROM WAVE SEEKERS, A1 In the early morning of June 28, equipped with wetsuits and surfboards, four of the Surf Moms met La Jolla Light at Kellogg Park for an interview and surf session. Their members are from different walks of life, ages and sizes. Some of them are retired, others are stay-at-home moms or are looking to rejoin the workforce. Half of them live in La Jolla, the rest drive to town (sometimes an hour) to surf with their friends. They surf at different beaches, but mostly La Jolla Shores. What all of them have in common is their love of the sport. “To me it’s the perfect blend of mind, body and spirit. It’s the one sport and the one place where I can go and sort all my problems,” Surf Mom Barb Whatley explained. “I’ve been through some things in my life, and this was my salvation. It makes me happy, it challenges me and it gives me perspective.” For Juboori, who’s originally from the Dominican Republic and who has been surfing for 18 years, the sport is more than a hobby, it is a lifestyle. “My life revolves around surfing. The people I spend time with, we’re all of the same mindset. There’s nothing that a good day of surfing cannot cure.” Jessi Epperson agreed. “It rejuvenates me,” she said. For her, just paddling out with friends is fun enough. “It’s very relaxing, whether you catch a wave or not, (it’s awesome) just to be floating in this huge ocean and to look around and see how fortunate we all are.” Nooren added, “It never gets old for me. I can’t believe I live here, this is the best thing ever.” The Surf Moms interrupt each other, finish

Valerie Juboori, one of the Surf Moms, rides a wave on her longboard June 28 at La Jolla Shores beach. one another’s sentences, tease and laugh out loud (a lot). But overall, inside and outside the water, they uplift each other. Juboori explained, “People cheer you on. They are so happy when you’re doing well on a wave, and they may not even know you. I’m pretty sure when you’re running a track, people aren’t going, ‘Good one!’ ” Nooren interjected, “We all have kids ... problems with different things.” In fact, Whatley and Epperson are both breast cancer survivors. “One of the things we do,” Whatley said,

“is, ‘No judgments.’ Everybody’s got history, baggage and whatever, but on the water, we’re all just surf sisters doing our thing. And I like that, sometimes you need a break from life, and this is it.” She said chemotherapy and other breast cancer treatments can change the muscles used for paddling. “I can paddle, but I can’t actually surf right now,” said Epperson. “(The cancer) fired back up again, so I have to wait. I think our surfing proves to ourselves and to our kids that you can fight through something and get back to doing

what you want to do and still be happy.” When asked what their favorite wave was, they answered in unison “every wave.” But for Juboori, the ones that stuck with her the most were “the times I almost died. Like at Black’s Beach 20 years ago. I was out surfing and the waves started getting bigger, and bigger, and I just couldn’t take them in. I sat out there crying for like an hour, ‘I’m going to die.’ And then one medium-sized wave came and I was able to ride it back to shore,” she explained. Whatley suffered an injury during a surf

session three weeks prior to this interview, when a surfboard hit her head. “(I was) taken in an ambulance, had stitches and a concussion,” she related. “But the point is, I just wanted to get back into the water as soon as possible. And the guy who hit me, he’s great guy. We didn’t quite kiss, but we made up.” Epperson chimed in: “A lot of people who don’t surf ask, ‘Why would you be doing that? You’re getting hurt, there are sharks!’ and I’m like, ‘It’s all I want to do.’ ” Nooren summed up the Surf Moms experience, “The thing that bonds us all is that we can’t live without it. The good, the bad, and the ugly.”
Surf Term of the Week ■ Beach Break: The spot where the waves break on a sandy beach, such as the one on La Jolla Shores beach. This type of wave is forgiving, and the best kind for those seeking to learn how to surf. Local surf schools take advantage of the lenient waves at La Jolla Shores to teach students year-round.
Competitiveness
“None of us are Malia Manuel,” Nooren said, referring to the competitive female surfer from Hawaii. “But because we have daughters who surf competitively, it’s important for us to be a role model, (show them) we can do this, too, have fun with it, and we may not be the best surfers, but we’re going to get in there and do it.” Juboori followed, “I just want to show my daughter that here we are at our advanced age and we’re still loving this. It’s such a healthy lifestyle, so hopefully, they’ll integrate it into their lives, too.” When she was growing up, and especially in the Dominican Republic, there weren’t many women surfing. “We were the only two girls on the whole island who surfed. And that was very weird, we were frowned upon, and now there’s tons of women in the water,” she said. Epperson elaborated, “I know every time my daughter’s in the water, sometimes she’s the only female out there, and the guys are always, ‘Good job!’ or ‘Who’s that little girl?’

Jill Nooren, Valerie Juboori, Kathleen Mulvihill, Jesse Epperson, Barb Whatley, Cyndie Waldichuk and Lori Palovich pose with their various styles of surfboards. because she does look little compared to all these men. But she’s not afraid and it’s awesome that all of us have raised our girls to just jump in!” Nooren added, “Our daughters learn not to be timid because in the beginning, they didn’t want to go in, but now they have confidence. They’re good enough, they know when to go and when not to go, and that confidence shows outside the water, too.”
Boards of choice
When asked what their surfboard of choice was, these were the Surfer Moms’ answers: Whatley: “I’m a longboarder. A 9-foot-long board, that’s the one I like. I can catch just about anything in all the conditions that I would ever choose to surf. I’m not looking to surf 10-foot waves. If they’re that big, and I can’t catch waves with this board, then I probably shouldn’t be out.
And as I get older, I feel like I’m still improving and getting better, but I do realize that when I do get hurt, my recovery time takes up a significant amount of my life, so I try to minimize that.” Juboori: “I grew up shortboarding, but I’ve been longboarding for 10 years. I did the switch because surfing here it’s more crowded, so the longboard is easier to get in (a wave). If I’m surfing against a 19-year-old boy, and we’re both on shortboards, guess who’s going to get the wave? It’s going to be him! But if I’m on a longboard, ha! It’s mine! Problem solved.” Epperson: “I surf a fishboard. I love it, it’s fun and it’s floaty. It lets me just kind of have fun and hang out, and if I want to pop up and catch a wave, I can, and if I want to just chill, I can.” Nooren: “This is my baby right here. I love her. Honestly, I was scared of the 9-foot boards, because they hit me a whole bunch of times. I just progressively moved down and I love this, it’s a 7-foot, 6-inch board and it rides like a longboard, but is not as much for me to handle.”

SD Environmental Center to manage Princess Street access project BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The beach access route at the end of Princess Street is one step closer to being re-opened after nearly 40 years, it was announced at the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) meeting June 26. Answering the call for an organization to assume responsibility for the access-way, the Environmental Center of San Diego offered to dedicate and maintain the work to re-open the beach access route. “We are a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment throughout San Diego, including keeping access-ways to the ocean open,” Environmental Center of San Diego board member Pam Heatherington said. “At the end of last year, we were contacted about Princess Street being open to an offer to dedicate by a non-profit or government agency that would one day allow the access to be re-opened. … Now we are working with the homeowner to get on the property, get a survey done, and design something simple and in sync with nature to get us access to the beach from Princess Street.” She could not say when the trail might be reopened, but in a “perfect world” Heatherington told the Light, it would take two years. The Environmental Center of
San Diego’s efforts reportedly have the support of WindanSea Surf Club, San Diego Golf Club, California Coastal Commission, State of California Coastal Conservancy and La Jolla Shores Association. At a future meeting, LJP&B will vote on whether to also support the group’s efforts. Heatherington later told the Light the next step is to survey the area, which could cost $1,000-$2,000. “If we wait until August (to conduct the survey), we can get funding from the Coastal Conservancy, but if we want to do something before that, we can pay for the survey ourselves. Or someone could donate the money for the survey,” Heatherington said. Without a specific date, she said she would like to have the survey done this fall. From there, Environmental Center of San Diego would decide on a firm to design the trail, which could include stairs, rails, ropes or other safety features. “We’re going to try to get a few designs and get input from the public,” she told the Light. At the LJP&B meeting, she explained, “We will be working with the lifeguards and representatives from Native American tribes (to identify artifacts that we need to be mindful of) in the opening of this pathway and we would like to bring in the California Native Plant Society to identify native plants we

We are not going to do this in a vacuum, we are going to work with other organizations.” LJP&B member Patrick Ahern expressed concern about the installation of ropes and/or stairs that would interfere with the natural environment. But Heatherington said, “We want to keep it as natural as safely possible. It needs to be safe, and we won’t open it back up unless it’s safe, but we want it to be natural.” However, LJP&B member Sally Miller encouraged Heatherington to continue with the work.

“It took (beach access advocate) Melinda Merryweather more than 30 years to get to this point and I don’t want to see the ball drop now that we’re here,” she said. Merryweather, who was unable to attend the meeting, has fought for the path to be reopened and said she was “thrilled” at the Environmental Center of San Diego stepping up. “They are an amazing organization and (the WindanSea Surf Club) might raise some money to help with the survey or other small projects,” she said. “It’s so important to get this access opened because when the surf is big, that is a great place to enter the beach. “And if you walk around the beach at the Marine Room, and head over to that area to see the amazing beach and the tide comes in, there is no way to get out unless you are a really strong swimmer.” Merryweather also reflected on the “time, money, minds and lawyers” involved in the litigation thus far, and said she was glad that “we’ll finally have it back.”
Decades of closure
The access has been closed by way of a gate that has been posted and locked since the 1970s, when former property owner Jane Baker built her house.

Since that time, the California Coastal Commission has requested a public access easement be dedicated. Subsequent property owners, including current property owners Ure and Diane Kretowicz (who bought the house in 1993), have not complied with the request. In 1999, the Kretowiczs entered into litigation, arguing it would be too dangerous for the public to access the beach through the since-eroded bluffside. According to court documents, in September 2015, the Kretowiczs filed a verified petition for writ of mandate and a complaint against the California Coastal Commission, in part, challenging its decisions to require the Kretowiczs irrevocably dedicate public access easements. But the Commission found there was a history of public access at the site and the trial court denied the Kretowiczs’ petition, as well as their request for declaratory relief. Attorney Sherman Stacey, representing the homeowners, confirmed that easement documents were filed with the City of San Diego and California Coastal Commission that note there is a public access lane adjacent the property that will be part of the property record going forward.

Let’s write a few letters to her to try and get some improvements in The Cove area. It is not just regular visitors who enjoy The Cove and Scripps Park. The visitor traffic is likely more than 2 million people annually, coming from the United States and many foreign countries. Wouldn’t it be nice if those visitors saw a more attractive park, new restrooms and a cleaner beach and Cove? Maybe there will be new LJRWS shirts and more happy moments for swimmers if inaction turns to action. It is up to us!

Souvenir shirts from past years of the La Jolla Rough Water Swim at The Cove
Swim … interrupted It is rumored that the La Jolla Rough Water Swim (LJRWS) in September at The Cove could be canceled, again. This would be disappointing when so many other associations work around problems to hold their events. The LJRWS shirts pictured are from 1991 to the last swim in 2015. The shirts represent so many happy memories for me and others. Each shirt always sparks comments like “Wow! That was a good year!” or “Do you remember ... ” The ocean water at La Jolla Cove is not in very good condition right now. The grass in front of the restrooms is looking pretty bad. And the restrooms for which I contributed funds for
La Jollans should find off-street spot for homeless people We recently visited Lisbon and Amsterdam, where we were surprised to see hardly any homeless people on the streets. Here in La Jolla, so many are permanently squatting on the sidewalks along Pearl and Prospect Streets and Girard Avenue. Being residents, we see them every day. Allowing them to squat or roam on the sidewalks may be a compassionate solution, but all are panhandling, some have inappropriate signs, a few are aggressively trying to get attention by speech or eye-contact. Some even surprise the pedestrians with sudden noises to get attention. Many definitely need immediate mental care and may pose a risk to pedestrians if they are
not cared for. Encountering them at night creates a scary situation. This is not a safe and peaceful environment for people who live in or visit the Village area. When people regularly provide them with money or food, it only encourages them to stay and perpetuates the problem. La Jolla needs to move the homeless people off the sidewalks immediately and find them a designated location that is comfortable for them and their belongings until they can be rehabilitated. It is a humanitarian problem needing a compassionate solution soon. L. Yengar
Bicyclists must hug the right-hand curb The article “Rules of the Road for Bicyclists” in the June 29 issue omitted a fundamental rule for riding bikes, one that is often ignored. California Vehicle Code section 21202 requires bicycles be ridden “as close as practical to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.” There are exceptions for making a left turn, overtaking another bike or car, or avoiding “unsafe conditions.” Obviously, riding two or more abreast is a violation of this rule, yet it is commonly done and leads to holding up vehicular traffic and angering motorists.

A WINDAN NSEA BEAC EACH MEMORY ... BY KEN HAYGOOD n a summer afternoon in 1945, the surf is up at WindanSea Beach. The sun is dropping in the west and a glassy reflection on the ocean’s surface burns my eyes, aching from looking for an incoming swell. My nose is peeling from sunburn, my arms and legs are tired. I’m really hungry, so I know it’s time to catch my last wave in. It’s been a great day of surfing. But the day has more rich memories yet to come. As I catch a wave up to the shore, I see the luau fire burning and smoke rising. Fresh caught abalone, lobster and fish are on the grill. The sweet tomato-y aroma from the cauldron’s bubbling cioppino is blown my way as I haul my 11-foot, 95-pound surfboard up on the sand. As I look up, my heart starts pounding heavily as my girlfriend runs to join me on the sand. Although wringing wet, I eagerly embrace her as she welcomes me safely ashore. In the background, ukeleles are strumming while the clouds are turning sunset red, pink and yellow. Cold beer goes great with heaping plates of grilled seafood, salad and French bread dipped in the cioppino. As

University City Girl Scout Junior Troop 3884
UTC Girl Scouts complete 100 Days of Service project To mark the centennial birthday of Girl Scouts San Diego, Girl Scouts throughout the County have been out in full force, doing 100 days’ worth of good deeds. As part of a challenge called “100 Days of Girl Scouts,” troops and individual members took action in their communities to make the world a better place. The 100 Days of Girl Scouts Challenge (March 12-June 19) coincided with the national birthday of Girl Scouting. University City Girl Scout Junior Troop 3884 chose San Diego Humane Society as the beneficiary of their work. After brainstorming, the Scouts decided to make goodie bags for people adopting dogs, cats and rabbits. The enterprising fifth-graders funded the activity, which doubled as the troop’s Bronze Award project, with proceeds from their Girl Scout Cookie earnings, combined with donations from Purina, Petco and Pura Natural Pets. They filled each bag with food, treats, pet care items, handcrafted toys created from recycled materials and personalized notes. Continuing the celebration, a fundraiser for adults is set for 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15 at Scout Campus, 1231 Upas St., Balboa Park. Dubbed “Urban Campout,” the fundraiser will invite supporters to don their glittery best for an evening of games, auction items, food, drinks and dancing to the music from a live band. sdgirlscouts.org/uc
The Cottage restaurant plans remodel, may add a fireplace The Cottage restaurant at 7702 Fay Ave. is in the planning stages of what management is calling the “Cottage La Jolla refresh.” Assistant General Manager Trevor LeClair said although preliminary, the remodel could include adding a fireplace, remodeling the interior to replace the seafoam green wallpaper with natural wood finishes, and other interior upgrades, but still “keep it the classic Cottage people love.” He added the work was supposed to be complete before the summer tourist season, but a delay pushed work back. Unsure of a specific date, LeClair said the remodel would likely begin in late fall.

In addition to the focus on the America’s Cup, the collection showcases San Diego’s many Olympic and World Champions, early sailing history, the science behind sailing, and where to sail in San Diego. Many of these materials will be exhibited by the Port of San Diego at the “B” Street Cruise Ship Terminal starting in late July.

All the contributors have written books connected to Paris, yet their personal stories of the city are wildly different.

Petition to reduce Jewel traffic reaches 200 signatures online A petition directed to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and District 1 Council member Barbara Bry to “reduce traffic in The Village of La Jolla” is making its rounds on the change.org online platform. With more than 200 signatures as of press time, the request seeks to have a bridge built over La Jolla Parkway joining La Jolla Scenic North and South, and an additional ramp installed off La Jolla Parkway to access I-5 North. “The bridge would greatly reduce the amount of traffic passing through the bottleneck as would an I-5 access ramp,” the petition reads. The person behind the request, who isn’t identified in the document, details the traffic problems that affect several areas of La Jolla. “The traffic at the intersection of Torrey Pines Road, Hidden Valley Road and La Jolla Parkway has reached a breaking point,” it states.

Mitchell Thorp Foundation teams up with SD Aviators for Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash BY KAREN BILLING The Mitchell Thorp Foundation will host the Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash at the Omni La Costa Resort on Sunday, July 16. The “smashing” event will feature a dinner and auction event, as well as tennis action from Mylan World Team Tennis’ San Diego Aviators. Proceeds from the event will go toward the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, founded in 2009 by Brad and Beth Thorp, whose son Mitchell died in 2008 after a five-year battle with an undiagnosed illness. The foundation’s mission is to help families in the region who have children suffering from life-threatening illness, diseases and disorders by providing financial and emotional resources. The event begins with food stations and wine pairings, a cash bar, live music, and a silent and live auction that includes “unbelievable” items such as trips to the U.S. Open and a three-night stay in New York, an Alaskan Cruise and trips to Costa Rica, London, Belize and more. At 6 p.m., guests will leave the ballroom to watch the San Diego Aviators take on the Orange County Breakers, featuring a match-up between the Breakers’ Maria Sharapova and Aviators’ Shelby Rogers. “We like to mix it up and make it fun and interactive for guests, something different than the usual sit-down dinner galas,” Beth Thorp said. Those with young families are encouraged to bring their kids — while adults are at the dinner and auction event, children can attend a kids’ event that includes a tennis clinic, games and food trucks. At 6 p.m., parents and kids
Beth Thorp, Dr. Glenn Frieder, Dr. Sanjay Ghosh, Dr. John Crawford, Gordon Merkle and Brad Thorp at last year’s Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash can come back together for the tennis match. Tickets are $150 for the dinner and tennis, kids’ clinic and dinner is $45. As part of the event, the foundation also gives out The Pillar of Hope Award to honor special doctors, practitioners and therapists who go above and beyond for their patients and educate the community on health and wellness. This year’s honorees will be Dr. Andrew Accardi of Scripps Hospital and George Tidmarsh with La Jolla Pharmaceutical. The Mitchell Thorp Foundation’s mission is driven by the Thorps’ own experience when their son got sick. The

Mary Lou Ward
August 17, 1933 - June 20, 2017 LA JoLLA — Mary Lou passed away peacefully the evening of June 20 at Sunrise of La Jolla, her home for the past 5 years. There she was visited often by family and friends, and enjoyed the company of fellow residents and wonderful caretakers. Mary Lou (“Mickey” in her younger days) was a cheerful, energetic, down-to-earth person with strong Midwestern roots. Born in oklahoma to Grace and Laurence Stafford, she moved to southern Illinois at age 6, graduating from Salem Community High School in 1951. She then relocated to the big city –St. Louis– to attend the renowned “Miss Hickey’s School for Secretaries”.
During her working years in St. Louis she made life-long friends and thoroughly enjoyed her experience working for the Rotary Club. She married Donald Ward in 1960 at St. Theresa’s in Salem. After their first daughter was born, Mary Lou and Don
decided to make the trek west, and settled in sleepy La Jolla in 1964 to open a travel business. In La Jolla, Mary Lou threw herself wholeheartedly into raising her four daughters and was very involved with All Hallows Catholic Church and many charities and community groups, including Meals on Wheels, National Charity League and Las Vecinas. She loved to sing, whether it was in the church choir, as a member of the “Soledad Singers” or just belting out bits of old showtunes in the kitchen while making dinner. She enjoyed travel, especially the numerous trips she and Don took abroad with close friends. Mary Lou was also very
social and loved to chat, whether over donuts and coffee after mass, during an evening with the bridge club, or on her frequent long walks with friends. Mary Lou will be missed terribly by her sister, Pat Larimer, of Salem, IL; numerous nieces, nephews and friends; and her four daughters and their families: Martha “Anne” and Derek Watanabe (Emma, Luke, Clare) of Issaquah, WA; Liz and Greg Bass (Lana, Evie, Sylvie) of La Jolla; Carol and Daren Courter (Adam, Kate, Jenna) of Fremont, CA; and Leslie “Kate”Ward of San Diego.

community came together to support them through Facebook groups and even hosting a walk-a-thon to help pay their $70,000 medical bill, and that was with insurance. The Thorps said they will forever be grateful for those helping hands and hearts. “It was so humbling to us, it just changes you when people you don’t even know are helping you,” Thorp said. After the loss of their son, it took time for the Thorps to heal and feel like they could give back, but they were adamant to do what they could to help other families. And since founding the organization, they learned there is a real need: 78 percent of families whose child is diagnosed with a critical illness experience divorce or separation, and the stress these families experience will test them beyond their endurance, often bankrupting them financially, emotionally and physically. The Mitchell Thorp Foundation now offers several programs to bring other families help, hope and a sense of normalcy. They offer medical and home assistance, healing and rehabilitation, which includes counseling services for all members of the family and a conversion mobility van program. The foundation is getting ready to offer its third van conversion — it takes a little longer as the vans are expensive and the beneficiary families are asked to help with the fundraising efforts for the vans. The recipient of the third van is a single mother who has two children in wheelchairs. One of the most exciting growing programs of Mitchell Thorp is the Youth Leadership Council, started six years ago as a way to get teenagers involved in charity fundraising and events. A board of teens decides how they will spend the money they raise and in the past they have purchased an iPad for a child in the hospital and re-decorated another child’s bedroom. The council has now grown to 56 volunteer students from schools all over the region. Thorp said she feels a strong personal connection to those her foundation helps as she and her family have walked in their shoes. They feel fortunate to be able to help other parents struggling to make ends meet and willing to do anything they can to save their child. “We would have done anything to save Mitchell, his illness was undiagnosed until his death. It’s still unexplained,” Thorp said. “From that pain, we took it and turned it into something positive and tried to bless other families. It’s been growing ever since and it’s just amazing to see God’s hand in this.” Tickets for the Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash can be purchased at mitchellthorp.org/events — Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support La Jolla Light.

The fully restored 1967 Chevrolet Camaro
La Jollan Michael Mazaika once again owns ’67 Camaro 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.
F
or some who own older cars, climbing into the driver’s seat takes them back to a different time. Maybe a time in America when the car was made, or a different time in the driver’s life. For La Jolla resident Michael Mazaika, it takes him to a time when his children were little and he owned one stylish car. “In 1969, I owned a 1967 (Chevrolet) Camaro convertible. … It came out two years after the Mustang, so it was the first time Chevy had produced a sports car that directly competed with the Mustang. They competed back and forth and still do, some 50 years later. I liked the styling back then and I still love it today,” he said.
“At that time, my family and I lived in Connecticut and my wife (Phyllis) and I would take our kids around the back roads of Connecticut. We had a good time in that car. It holds the road very well. This car can take some of the twisty-est, turny-est roads we can find, and this car can hold the road at a higher speed than a regular car.” But as the children, David and Michelle, grew older, the sports car had to go. “When they got too big for the backseat, it necessitated the sale of that car and the
acquisition of a sedan. But I always wanted another 1967 Camaro,” Mazaika said. Four or five years ago, he got his chance to own the car once again, and purchased another 1967 Camaro. Now a slick silver car with black stripes, the car was in less than stellar shape when he found it. Major adjustments include changes to the paint, adding air conditioning and replacing the interior with that of a 1969 Camaro, which featured additional safety and comfort amenities. “In the 1967 Camaro, you couldn’t have seatbelts or headrests, but we wanted to have this car be our driver, so we had to have that,” he said. “Adding the seatbelts was no small feat, because you have to attach them to the roof of the car.” There was also the “complete replacement” of the suspension system and some minor work on the engine so it wouldn’t be as noisy. The wheels, tires and rims are all time accurate. SEE ONE FOR THE ROAD, B5

Against all odds, it lived

f I had to sum up what I’ve spent my time on during the last three years, it would be one word: trees. I wrote a column a year ago called “It was more than just a tree” about the beautiful 35-foot kaffir plum tree that was not only the focal point of our front yard for four decades but was the backdrop for every family photo. I’d spent hundreds of happy hours reading in its abundant year-round shade. In earlier years it was constantly full of kids, both ours and neighbors. But in 2015, I started to notice signs that all was not well. Sap began to ooze out of its trunk. Its leaves were not as abundant. I decided a professional consult was necessary. Let me say that you would think that persons in the agricultural pest industry and/or professional arborists could agree on a diagnosis. But you would be wrong. The tree was sprayed, it was cut back by 40 percent, it had stuff drilled into its trunk, and inserted into the ground around its root line. It was the sixth tree professional who probably got it right: He looked me right in my 68-year-old eyes. “Well, you know, lady, sometimes things just get old and DIE.” “I’m aware of the concept,” I said coolly, making a mental note to savage him on Yelp. And yup, we did finally have to declare it dead. We had a weepy ceremony for it and
thanked it for all the pleasure it had brought us. Kaffir plum trees turned out to be scarce so we decided to go with a Chinese Elm since they obviously do very well in this climate. Given that we don’t have 40 years to watch this tree get big, we went with a 17-foot tree that required a great big, really expensive crane to lower it off its flatbed truck and into the equally expensive new hole that had been dug for it. Since trees have always fed my soul, I named it Alma (Latin for nourishing). It also sounded good with “elm tree.” Obviously Alma wasn’t producing much shade (none really) but I sat outside reading all last spring and summer beaming good thoughts at Alma and wishing her speedy growth. But from the get-go, she exhibited serious droop. “Just a little transplant shock” said the landscape guy we’d bought it from who installed it. “Don’t worry.” But then all the bark fell off. The leaves fell off. The leaves that didn’t fall off with covered by some black sooty bug. The landscape guy maintained it was being overwatered even though we had had a custom bubbler system with its own personal valve installed just for this tree, and the front yard sprinklers reconfigured so they wouldn’t touch the tree. I call the arborist guy he recommended who is probably the only arborist in San Diego we
Alma, thriving hadn’t already hired for the last tree. The arborist showed up in October and said heck no, it’s not getting enough water. He sprayed the bugs, and drilled stuff into the trunk, and put special fertilizer into the soil. “You’ll just have to wait until next February to see if it makes it,” he said, not sounding optimistic. February came around. Alma still looked positively moribund. Every other Chinese Elm in San Diego was in full bloom but Alma’s few remaining leaves were falling off at record rates. Everyone who walked by said, “I’m so sorry your new tree died.” Even our lawn maintenance guy concurred. “Muerto,” he announced. I called the arborist for a second consult only to learn he had died. I regarded this as a bad karmic sign. Inanimate solidarity? The landscape guy who installed the tree started hedging on the warranty, and stopped answering calls. And then one morning in early April as I went out to get the newspaper, I thought I

saw something green on the tree. Yes, it was a little tiny green bud. I went to get Olof. Of course, we’d been down this road with the last tree. Sometimes they like to toy with you. Even the kaffir plum produced 37 carefully-counted leaves in its last gasp. But then every day there were more buds, and finally — yes! — some actual leaves! We still didn’t dare hope. But slowly over the next two weeks, Alma burst into full bloom. Her bark came back. The bugs were gone. While most of the trees on our property have flourished on benign neglect, we are terrified of over- or under-watering Alma. Is she getting enough fertilizer? Not enough? We’re still going to worry obsessively about Alma for the next few years. But seeing her abundant foliage is a source of incredible joy to both of us. Could there be actual shade in our future? We are literally and figuratively rooting for you, Alma. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Meet 90-year-old Vons La Jolla clerk Jim Messer BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series spotlights notable locals we all wish we knew more about! Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar, friendly faces to bring you their stories.

go for things, and I help them.”
Are you thinking of retiring?
“Yes, I’m going to retire in the next two or three months.”
How do you get to work every day if you don’t drive? “My daughter brings me. I have two daughters in this area, and both of them have cars.”
N
inety-year-old war veteran, former business owner and Vons La Jolla employee Jim Messer has been working at the local grocery store for 26 years. He defines himself as a good worker who hasn’t been late to his job in a quarter-century. A Vons customer suggested the Light interview him after he helped her bring groceries to the car.
How long have you been married?
“More than 65 years. I love my wife very much and she loves me, I’m sure. We never really ever get into any arguments. I think if we did, she ‘d always win.”
Do you go to church?
“We go to First Southern Baptist Church, we’ve been going there since 1951, that’s where we got married. We used to go every Sunday night when the kids were growing up.”
Where are you from?
“I was born in Altha, in the northwest of Florida, way back in the woods ... back in the day we didn’t have electricity, running water or stuff like that. But we got by.”
What’s the secret to reaching age 90 in good health?
How did you end up in San Diego?
“I’ve been in San Diego since I got out of the service in 1947. I was in the Navy and the Marines, I served in both. I was deployed for 36 months, to the Philippines and China. I enlisted when I was 17 years old, and six months later, I was overseas. The war was going full blast then, in early 1944.”
What moved you to stay in San Diego?
“My last station was in Camp Pendleton, and after that they sent me down to San Diego before I was discharged. There were no jobs available after the war. There were military people getting out of the service by the thousands, and there were no jobs for us. But I got a job in a grocery store, and I stayed. I worked at that grocery store in Pacific Beach for quite a long time, but I wanted to do something else.”
What happened after that?
“I had a friend who was in the floor covering business, and he got me a job in the company he was with. I had to go to night school, and I worked with them for four

live in San Diego, nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren.”
How did that go?
“(After I closed my store) I got tired of not doing anything at home, so I came in here and asked them for a job to keep me busy, and they said, ‘Fill this out, come tomorrow in the morning,’ and I’ve been here ever since. I’ve only missed two days. In the first 25 years,I only missed one day. I’ve never been late.”
“It was good. I bought a home in Pacific Beach, and paid for it in full. I still have it. We bought it brand new and never missed a payment.”
Do you like Pacific Beach?
“I don’t think I want to live anywhere else. We live about five blocks from the ocean on Tourmaline Street.”
Are you married, have kids?
“Yeah, I married my wife in 1951 and we’re still married. Her health is not good but it’s not too bad. I have four kids, two of them
What made you take this job at Vons?
What do you like about working here?
“We get our medical insurance paid in full. I guess that’s the best thing. And I get a salary, of course. We have a lot of tourists here that don’t know where in the store to

Do you have any hobbies?
“I don’t drive anymore, so that keeps me home. But back in the day, every time I got a chance, I went fishing — freshwater fishing, I didn’t do much saltwater fishing. I had my own boat and everything. In San Diego County, there’s about nine saltwater lakes that have good fish, and I went fishing there. I mostly caught freshwater bass, the biggest one I caught was seven pounds. A seven-pound freshwater fish is a nice fish, in the ocean it’s not.”
What kind of music do you like? “I like bluegrass music best of all.”
How has the area changed?
“It’s not even close to what it used to be. But I think it’s better than it’s ever been. The streets have all been redone … It’s come a long way.”

FROM ONE FOR THE ROAD, B1 To assist with the work, he called on J. Bittle, COO of the Miramar-based JBA Speed Shop. “I did some of the work, JBA did some of the mechanical work and Custom Auto Body did the painting,” Mazaika explained. When asked if the cost of all this adds up, he said, “In a word: yes. But you have to be prepared for that, it’s like owning a boat … you have to be careful with what you are getting into because you may think you are looking at it very carefully, there is always something you didn’t see. And when you start doing body work, it means big money. It’s cheaper to buy it new and keep it.” Speaking from experience, he said wife Phyllis has a 1984 Camaro (just a hair past La Jolla Light’s call for cars from 1980 or earlier), which she bought new and has kept up ever since. “Both cars have won awards, but they are mostly for driving because that’s what we wanted, a driver. But we also wanted a car that looks good,” he said. With two Camaros in the garage and in running shape, the Mazaikas have entered into local Camaro clubs and have had the chance to make some new memories. “We took (my) car on Route 66 back to Oklahoma City and to Austin, Texas and Big Bend Country and then back. It went 4,000 miles on that trip without a hitch,” he said. “I get a lot of thumbs-up from people when they see it. I don’t exhibit it much, but when I do, it does well. Everyone likes the look of the car, so I’m not alone. A lot more people appreciate older cars than you might expect … I don’t know if it’s the styling or they’re just glad to see something that America made that is still on the road after 50 years.”

‘Vectors’ is theme for 63rd season FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C), San Diego’s oldest and largest community orchestra and chorus, will present six concerts in its 63rd season, welcoming new Choral Director Patrick Walders, who will share the podium with longtime Music Director Steven Schick and guest conductor Sameer Patel. On the program for the monthly concerts set for November 2017 to June 2018 at Mandeville Auditorium on the UC San Diego campus, is an adventurous mix of traditional repertoire, premieres, contemporary music and a celebration of the ensemble’s 50-year affiliation with UCSD. “We call the new season ‘Vectors,’ ” said Schick, a Distinguished Professor of Music at UCSD. “It’s a celebration of the twinned trajectories ... a half-century of partnership between a great university and cutting-edge orchestra and chorus. “We will start the season with Cecil Lytle, renowned pianist and Music Professor Emeritus, performing Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue,’ along with a newly commissioned work from graduate student Tobin Chodos, ‘Concertino for Two Pianos & Orchestra.’ In February we’ll premiere a theatrical percussion concerto that French composer (and circus artist) Roland Auzet has written for percussionist Fiona Digney. We’ll conclude in June with Distinguished Professor of Composition Rand Steiger’s ‘Template,’ a concerto for orchestra and improvising trumpet player, in this case the phenomenal Peter Evans.” Other highlights of the 2017-18 season from the 90-person orchestra and 110-person chorus include an oratorio in memory of African-American victims of violence by up-and-coming composer Courtney Bryan, along with new arrangements of music by jazz greats Duke Ellington and Ornette Coleman.

Headlining the evening’s entertainment was the rock band from Chicago — Styx, which formed in 1972 and became famous for such hits as “Come Sail Away,” “Mr. Roboto” and “Lady.” The gala featured a sunset cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, and dinner prepared by Chef Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, followed by the private Styx concert. It was attended by some 600 philanthropists, community and business leaders dedicated to creating a brighter future for foster children.

Simply Grilled Octopus ■ Ingredients: • 1 octopus (about 3 pounds) • 1 cup of white wine
Serving up the tentacles of life
A
s a lover of all manners of fish and seafood, I’m always on the lookout for something sustainable, heart-healthy and exotic. Feeling a little adventurous the other day, I was encouraged by a local fishmonger to try my hand at grilled octopus. While octopus has been considered a delicacy in Mediterranean and Eastern cuisines for thousands of years, the squeamish American palate (including my own) has shied away from experimentation of this squid and cuttlefish relative ... until now as top chefs have put this dish on their culinary radar. You too can embrace this oceanic treasure, as fascinating as it is flavorful. The Common Octopus is anything but common. This cephalopod with Ann Landers’ problem-solving skills, Einstein’s intelligence, Harry Houdini’s escape artistry, bionic powers to regenerate a lost limb and Navy Seals’ tactical skills (skin pigment camouflage and ink cloud ejection to disarm predators) is a creature of wonder, mystery and awe. Having a ubiquitous marine presence, the mighty mollusk propels itself through both tropical and temperate waters around the world, including the Mediterranean Sea, the

southern coast of Britain, the Western Atlantic, the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, and the African coastal waters. Alas, the octopus dies young and has a tragic sex life, as the male perishes shortly after mating, while the female survives long enough to ensure that her eggs hatch. The cartoonish cephalopod with a giant bulbous head, bulging goiter eyes, a parrot-like beak, a trio of hearts, blue-tinged blood and eight Herculean tentacles (so named from the Greek oktopous, translating to “eight-footed”) with an artillery of double-rowed suctions is a descendent of an ancient species that lurked in the seas almost 300 million years ago. Not surprisingly, the octopus has been an attention grabber of humans since cave dwelling days. While Aristotle mistakenly believed the sea creature had low intelligence, it was still enjoyed as a favorite dish by ancient Greek gastronomes who instinctively knew it was a nutritional powerhouse. A good source of low-fat dense protein, the sea carnivore also has a mother lode of vitamins (C for immune support, A for eye health, and B6 to keep brain cells on their toes, and hike melatonin and serotonin levels for some restful sleep along with mood elevation).

• 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • Parsley, chopped (for garnish) ■ Method: In a covered saucepan, add cleaned octopus, thyme, 1 cut lemon, garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, wine and enough water to cover the octopus. Bring to a boil and simmer covered (about 10 minutes per pound) or until tender. Prepare the grill, brushing the grid with olive oil, and preheat medium to high. Cut the octopus into quarters. In a small mixing bowl combine olive oil, juice from one lemon, and salt and pepper. Brush liberally on the octopus. Grill quickly so that it sears but doesn’t burn. Remove from grill. Slice if desired. Drizzle more olive oil, garnish with parsley and lemon slices. Serve with green salad and crusty bread. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
Its rich store of essential minerals (copper, iron, potassium and calcium) boosts bone and blood health, and maintains fluid balance. The ample supply of omega-3 fatty acids also amps up heart and brain health, while the antioxidant organic acid Taurine strengthens the ticker muscle, and lowers heart attack risks. So octopus up with fresh or frozen, the whole mollusk (debeaked, where possible), or just the tentacles. Make sure it smells like the fresh, salty sea without any rancid or peculiar odors.

and blend in risotto, Spanish paella, frittata or seafood cioppino. Toss with pasta, quinoa, or a seafood cocktail. Construct a seafood Cobb, Greek or Caesar salad showcasing the sliced tentacles. Make octopus sushi or udon soup. Chop and blend with mayo and gherkins, and slather on a brioche for a riff on a lobster roll. Or simply drizzle the whole octopus with extra virgin olive oil, Pink Himalayan sea salt and cracked black pepper, and grill until tender but still a little chewy. Enjoy the adventure and the jaw workout.

Author plumbs deep, rich life of Ellen Browning Scripps ‘Great Lady’ left a treasure-trove of personal papers
Q: What were the challenges in dealing with all that material?
A: The challenging part is she had really terrible handwriting. I could understand why somebody didn’t dive right into it. I looked at her diary from 1909. It was tiny. I opened it up and thought, Oh, my God, I can’t read any of this. It’s all scribble, scribble. She was a journalist and had a shorthand that was peculiar to her. I studied 17th century British history. I know paleography, and I’m skilled at reading old and bad handwriting. But this took me about a month of reading her most legible letters before I could even touch the diaries. And then everything had to be double- and triple-checked to make sure my transcriptions were accurate. As it turned out, she was a subject well worth my time.
BY JOHN WILKENS Few philanthropists in San Diego’s history have had the impact of Ellen Browning Scripps. Money she made from her family’s string of newspapers helped fund schools, museums, parks, hospitals, oceanographic research, the zoo. She died in 1932. “She’s clearly the Great Lady of San Diego,” said Molly McClain, a University of San Diego history professor who has written a new 366-page biography of Scripps, “Ellen Browning Scripps: New Money & American Philanthropy” (University of Nebraska Press, June 2017).
Q: What did you find most fascinating about her life?
Q: Why did you want to write about EBS?
A: It came about rather by accident. I’d been asked to write a history of The Bishop’s School for its centennial. The development director there asked if I would mind going up to Scripps College and looking at the archives, Ellen Browning Scripps’ papers, to see if she had anything about the school in them. I thought, what a fun project. I’d be thrilled to read her personal papers. Historians love that kind of thing. So I went up there and I just stumbled onto a treasuretrove. There were nearly 20 file cabinets that
LA JOLLA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Ellen Browning Scripps (Born: Oct. 18, 1836 in London, United Kingdom. Died: Aug. 3, 1932 at her home in La Jolla.) were filled with her account books, her letters, her diaries, her travel accounts. For a historian, it was sort of like a bubble bath of material. I thought someone must have written a biography of Ellen Browning Scripps and yet when I looked into it there hadn’t been anything published about her since 1966.
That was the last biography. I thought somebody really needs to do this. I was between projects and I thought this would be fun. And I got myself into what turned out to be a very long project because there is all this material. I felt duty-bound to go through it. That’s what historians do. We read everything.
A: She was a woman from a very working-class, educated background who managed to make her way in a man’s world. She became a journalist in Detroit, head of the copy room, an important editor. This was right smack in the middle of the Victorian era when women were not supposed to be able to do these things, and when they did it, they didn’t get much credit. For most of her life, she lived with her family members, with her brothers, as a spinster, taking care of the kids at night and working during the day. It wasn’t until she SEE ELLEN BROWNING SCRIPPS, B18

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13.
The San Diego Historical Resources Board is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you are interested in restoring or preserving a historic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a significant alteration, or demolition, to a
building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties. Restoring a house means returning the appearance of both the exterior and interior of the structure to the time period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally have
indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood floor in hard-to-find pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home.

FROM ELLEN BROWNING SCRIPPS, B17 came to California that she suddenly blossomed. She had retired from active work in journalism but started investing in Scripps papers. She and her brother E.W. Scripps essentially make a fortune on this new group of papers that are going to become the Scripps-Howard papers. Then having created all this money, she decides to give it all away. She really made San Diego the kind of cultured place that it is today.
Q: When she came to San Diego, she wasn’t that impressed. What made her stay?
A: She found in La Jolla this really interesting community of women, many of them college-educated, a little avant garde. They were writers and artists, kind of Bohemian, and she really took to them. She was rather a free-spirit herself and had very different opinions about religion, about politics, and she found a group of like-minded people. And can you imagine what La Jolla must have looked like without all the buildings? It must have been a paradise. She described the natural beauty as extraordinary, and she was a very keen observer of nature.
Q: What is her greatest legacy in your opinion?
A: I think it has to be the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Clearly that’s one of the greatest scientific research institutions in this country and perhaps the world, making really important progress on issues like climate change. Of her investments, that was definitely the most important.
reasons the Detroit Evening News was a success.
Q: Why is it important for us to reflect on the life of someone who made her mark 100 years ago?
A: We live in an age much like the Gilded Age. These extraordinary fortunes are Molly McClain is a history being created and being professor at University of passed down. You have San Diego, an author and people who have more co-editor of the ‘Journal of money than they ever San Diego History.’ imagined. And the question is, what do you do with that?
