arty-goers roasted marshmallows and celebrated the Fourth of July in style at La Jolla Cove. If you didn’t get to the beach early, you were out of luck. Revelers showed up at the beaches in droves as early as 5 a.m. to snag prime parking spots and a coveted fireworks viewing spot on the grass or sand. Approaching the 9 p.m. start time, Monday,
excitement filled the air. A single firework shot high into the sky and the crowd cheered and children squealed with delight. Unfortunately, just 10 minutes into the show, the fireworks stopped. Some questioned the length of the show, and with that, the masses folded up their lounge chairs in unison, shook out their blankets and headed to their cars.
About 15 minutes later, as tired families sat in traffic, the fireworks started up again! For several minutes, a barrage of colorful fireworks filled the skies once more. Not quite sure what happened, maybe a malfunction, but those who hung around to let the traffic subside now had a front row seat! —Greg Wiest ■ More Fourth of July photos, A12
KNOW YOUR LIFEGUARDS
Rodger Eales:
Born to rule the sea! BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: This is the first in a summer series about the men and women who keep us safe in the ocean off the shores of La Jolla. ecoming a lifeguard was a natural evolution for San Diego native Rodger Eales. “I was looking for career paths that would allow me to use my skills in the ocean,” he said. The 33-year-old joined the service a decade ago as a seasonal lifeguard, and in January he was assigned as a permanent lifeguard for the La Jolla Cove station. Eales said he’s been surfing since age 10, but that’s only one of the things he loves about the ocean, where he spends almost more time than he does on land. His father was an accomplished sailor who competed at the Olympics, which led Eales to his early introduction SEE LIFEGUARD, A8

The Wedding Bowl in Cuvier Park, 2011, with picturesque green grass
COURTESY PHOTOS
This photo was taken April 9, 2016. The Smiths booked their wedding ceremony at Cuvier Park and when they arrived for their rehearsal one day prior from Chicago, they complained to wedding organizer Jacquelyn Mendoza about the dirt and missing grass.
Brides say ‘I don’t’ to Wedding Bowl dirt Cuvier Park’s missing grass affects local wedding industry BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The idiom “the grass is always greener on the other side” rings true at The Wedding Bowl in Cuvier Park this year. After a winter
El Niño storm, the lush turf on the western side of the ceremony site on Coast Boulevard was reduced to dirt and sand, reported Jacquelyn Mendoza, owner of San Diego Destination Weddings. She said she first noticed the condition April 8 when she accompanied a couple to their rehearsal ceremony the day before their wedding. “When they saw it they said, ‘This is disappointing, what happened to the grass? Oh well, I guess we have to deal with
it,’ ” Mendoza said. The Wedding Bowl is the No. 1 favorite location for couples getting married in San Diego, Mendoza said. Even the City of San Diego’s website acknowledges it. “It is the most popular spot for weddings along the La Jolla coastline,” the site reads. Mendoza explained part of Cuvier Park’s success comes from its semi-private setting, about five feet under the public walk. But the other part is the grass. “You get the
contrast of colors, the green of the grass, the yellow of the bluffs and the blue ocean ... it makes it so vibrant and pretty, and that’s what couples are looking for,” she said. “When they get there and see everything is dead, it’s disappointing. They really want to be on the grass.” Cuvier Park is managed by the city. It costs $174 to acquire a permit to celebrate a wedding ceremony there, generating SEE WEDDING BOWL, A19

Yes, those are bike racks!
Green ‘sculptures’ part of city’s Bicycle Master Plan BY ASHLEY MACKIN During an otherwise lovely day in La Jolla recently, a Light reader said she was riding her bike through the Village, when she was scolded for using a city-installed bike rack. “I parked my bike at one of the green, bike-shaped (corrals) and this guy yelled at me, telling me they are not bike racks, they are art pieces. People are unsure whether they are bike racks or public art,” she reported. Seeking clarification, La Jolla Light spoke to City of San Diego Senior Engineer Brian Genovese to confirm the structures are for securing bicycles. He explained that as part of the San Diego Bicycle Master Plan, businesses across San Diego have the option of installing bike corrals for people to lock up their two-wheeled vehicles. “The Master Plan suggests end-of-trip infrastructure, like a parking space when you end a trip in your car. When the program first started years ago, we installed inverted u-shaped structures so people could secure their bikes when they reach their destinations,” he said. “As the program evolved and the biking phenomenon spread and more was being done for bike programs, the idea was to have the racks become more ornate.” He added, “People would lock their bikes to a sign post or the cage around utility structures because some racks were not noticable. The idea to shape them like bicycles came about to make it known to the community that these are, indeed, bike racks and bikes are welcome.”

‘can’t we all get along’ philosophy,” he said. Among the cycling pros, having infrastructure readily available makes bike ridership more attractive, Genovese said. “The more riders we have, the better. It’s a good thing for the Climate Action Plan because it decreases the greenhouse gas emissions from cars. We want to make it convenient for people to walk, bike or use public transit. The more infrastructure we have, the more attractive those alternatives become.”

ASHLEY MACKIN
Fronting the Bank of America on Girard Avenue, a bike is chained to a bike-shaped bike rack. Reflecting local aesthetics, some bike structures near beach communities are shaped like surfboards, and one in Hillcrest is painted with rainbow colors. But the standard look is either an inverted u-shape or a bike shape, and the standard color is forest green. “Green has been designated for bicycle infrastructure (like the green bike lanes on city streets) because bicycling is considered a ‘green’ mode of transportation,” Genovese explained. “If they’re ordered through the city, the only option is the deep green. However, since we also work with BIDs (Business Improvement Districts) to buy them, if a business owner purchases one

through a BID, it comes in the color of their choice.”
Pros and cons
The steel bike racks are sometimes subject to weathering in beach communities, which Genovese said is a challenge. Another challenge comes with where to place them that strikes a balance between efficiency and respect. “Some people want them and others don’t. Most people want them in eyeshot to where they’re eating or shopping. But with all the things in the right-of-way and ways streets are being used, everyone is fighting for space. We see it as a
Bike racks may only be placed in the public right-of-way where they do not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular access. According to the city’s website, rack requests should come from the fronting business owner. Those interested in requesting a bike rack in front of their business, may e-mail trafficops@sandiego.gov with the following information: business name, contact name, telephone number, e-mail address, street address of proposed rack location, number of racks requested and any additional details that may be useful for city staff evaluation. Examples of locations that are not acceptable for city bike rack installations include: narrow sidewalks; private property; asphalt, grass, gravel, brick or other surfaces that will not allow secure rack installation; residential addresses; bus stops; and locations with storm drains, parked vehicles and utility boxes.

Brexit Leads toThe Lowest Mortgage Rates inThreeYears! According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average plunged to 3.48 percent with an average 0.5 point. It was 3.56 percent a week ago and 4.08 percent a year ago. Since the beginning of the year, the 30-year fixed rate has plummeted nearly 50 basis points. Lower rates have led to excellent opportunities for buyer’s acquiring homes and seller’s refinancing their homes.

La Jolla dentists lead event with Padres to provide free dental care to children
D
rs. Breziner and Romanowsky are back at it! The doctors and staff of La Jolla Family Smile Design are once again teaming up with TeamSmile and professional sports teams to offer free dental care for children in need. Last September, the staff of doctors, assistants, hygienists and administration volunteered with the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium. Several Chargers players and cheerleaders joined the dental teams in providing a fun and rewarding experience that the children embraced. The event was a huge success — with hundreds of local youths getting much needed dental work. On Saturday, July 9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego — Conrad Prebys Branch, Dr. Breziner will lead a group of volunteer doctors across the city to volunteer with the San Diego Padres. While the
team roster is changing, the nature of the event remains the same. La Jolla Family Smile Design and other supporting teams will be on hand to provide anything from exams, X-rays and cleanings to fillings and extractions. Just as important will be educating children on the importance of good oral hygiene. TeamSmile is the nation’s premier advocacy group that

FROM LIFEGUARD, A1 to the ocean. “I took a liking to surfing when I was 10 years old and I got my first surfboard. I began to gain a lot of knowledge and experience in the ocean, and I started to become very comfortable there,” Eales said. He pursued surfing on a competitive level and won the collegiate men’s division of the 2006 National Scholastic Surf Association championship for amateurs. Among his hobbies Eales lists spearfishing, surfing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, sailing and tubing. “I love being in the water,” he confessed. His marriage to Pennsylvania native Kelly Magestic Eales has never become an obstacle to his yearnings for the sea. To the contrary, he said, “She understands the passion I have for not only just the ocean but some of my activities in the ocean, and to be fair, those endeavors are very time-consuming … it takes a certain person to be able to support me in those pursuits. “She’s always there, she attends events sometimes, she’ll watch, and when it came to lifeguarding, it was a no-brainer. Kelly helped me every step of the way by pushing me and inspiring me in the classes, my credentials, and to make myself better-rounded as a lifeguard with dive classes.” As a child, Eales participated in the San Diego Junior Lifeguard program. When he became an adult and was deciding what to do in life he said, “Lifeguarding seemed like a perfect fit. I’m a people person, I like to help people. I attended college and got a teaching credential, so the other career path that I was looking at involved helping others. “I tried out for the lifeguard service and I was hired as a seasonal and then just continued to pursue the career.”
What’s it like to save lives?
“That’s part of the draw, knowing I’m putting myself in danger to rescue someone else who is in danger. Being born and raised in San Diego, and having such an involved background with the ocean, is almost like a calling for me to help people recreate safely in the ocean. “Having that baseline knowledge allows me to recognize
when people are in trouble, maybe sooner than they do! A lot of times we can get to them before it becomes a major problem, and that’s a good feeling ... a little bit of an adrenaline rush is needed to rescue someone in a dangerous situation.”
What does it mean for you to be comfortable in the ocean?
Rodger Eales communicates current beach conditions through his walkie talkie.
“For me, being comfortable in the ocean is really experiencing the ocean in all the different moods it has. When it’s really rough and stormy, when it’s calm and beautiful, when the surf is giant, in currents … There’s a lot of hydraulics, especially here in La Jolla. So to be adaptable and just understand that the ocean demands the ultimate respect makes you feel more comfortable.”
When was the last time that you were scared in the ocean?
“The last 10 years I’ve gotten into big wave surfing, and this past winter I was at Mavericks and waves were anywhere from 30 to 50 feet on the face. I was with a friend of mine who’s not as experienced, so I felt responsible for him. The boards got blown off, we were punching through white wash. It was one of those moments when I was uneasy and the rest of that day, surfing, I was alert, at times scared.”
Describe a day on your job.
“We show up at 8 a.m. and start observing the water, watching the people. If there’s a significant south swell, like today, we are paying attention to the boulder field and making sure people stay out of those rocky areas. We inspect
our travel pack to make sure we’re ready for any medical emergencies. We inspect our truck to make sure it’s outfitted and the equipment is ready for rescues, and then we interact with the public — from anything like giving them directions to Torrey Pines Glider Port; advice on good places to eat; effective water rescues; treating minor medical aids, like scratches from the rocks; and now and again, we try to keep people away from touching the sea lions.”
How do you handle sea lions at the Cove?
“Our No. 1 priority is always the water and the people that are swimming; the Cove in the summer time is so busy that takes up 95 percent of our focus and concentration. With that being said, we are always taking public safety as a whole into consideration, and if that means that we have to make a public announcement to keep people away from sea lions, that’s pretty much what we will do. We will let them know there are rules and regulations surrounding the animals and they need to keep a safe distance.”
What do you like the most about your job?
“I’d say just seeing the people’s appreciation after you’ve either given them a band aid, treated them in a serious medical aid, rescued them from a hazardous ocean, given directions to a great place to eat, and knowing that I’m participating for something that’s a greater good.”
Got a safety tip for beach-goers?
“The No. 1 thing is to check in with a lifeguard at the beach and get the conditions for the day. Respect the ocean and know that at anytime this ocean is extremely powerful. Know your limits.”
What are your favorite beaches in La Jolla?
“Black’s Beach is one of my favorites because of the unique canyon structure, how the waves break there and the beautiful cliff bluffs. Where I get to work every day, at La Jolla Cove, is great, due to the elaborate marine life. There’s all sorts of fish, birds, and the water is beautiful. And then it’s WindanSea, which has a similar vibe to The Cove, and a pretty renowned wave break.”

Public Works finds destroyed Coast Blvd. staircase an ‘emergency’ Construction will begin as soon as funding is identified BY ASHLEY MACKIN The San Diego Public Works Department approved a declaration that the obliterated staircase at 100 Coast Blvd. constitutes “an emergency” and will be treated as such in getting it repaired. City Council notification is currently being processed. At the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group (LJP&B) meeting June 27, members who were told the process could take years, breathed a sigh of relief at the announcement. A timeline for construction has not been confirmed, but San Diego Public Information officer Tim Graham said repairs will begin as soon as funding is identified. Blown from their hinges by storms in early 2016, the stairs connect Coast Boulevard to a beach area known as The Horseshoe, on the north end of Marine Street Beach. Soon after the storms, the city fenced off the access and determined the stairs would have to be re-constructed from scratch, projecting a multiyear timeline for completion. Hoping to speed the process, a group headed by LJP&B member Nancy Linck formed and began meeting. Reporting on their progress, she told trustees, “We’ve had three meetings and explored all kinds of options to get the stairs repaired, but we were met with a number of roadblocks.”
Fronting Coast Boulevard, the coastal access leading to The Horseshoe is closed. Among them: determining who was responsible for the construction; the location of engineering plans; lack of funds in the 2016 capital budget; and whether the project would be classified as a complete replacement — in which case handicap access would have to be considered — or a repair, which could happen quickly and privately without Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Focusing on the dangers created by not having stairs and hoping to bypass city hurdles, the group emphasized safety impacts in their communications with the city.

Soon after winter storms blew the stairs apart, the city fenced off the access.
“The stairs provide access for lifeguards, fire-fighters and police to Marine Street, which is important because part of the year, the access at Marine Street itself is difficult because the sand is washed out. So the stairs at 100 Coast are an alternative,” Linck explained. “The only other option is way down Coast Boulevard, and at high tide, you cannot access the area. Several committee members reached out to the lifeguards and other safety personnel, who agreed that the missing stairs are a safety issue. The city needs to act immediately.” The city listened.
Council President Sherri Lightner told La Jolla Light, “I strongly support the decision to designate the Coast Boulevard stair replacement as an emergency. This is an important coastal access and public safety issue, and our office will continue to work with city staff to expedite this project.” Added Graham, via e-mail, “A request has been submitted (and approved by the Public Works Department) that this project be given ‘emergency status’ due to public safety concerns as they relate to beach access for lifeguards and other public safety staff in the SEE STAIRCASE, A17

FROM STAIRCASE, A10 event of an emergency or if a water rescue was required in and around that stretch of beach. Designating a particular project with an ‘emergency’ status allows the city to assign a contractor (from a rotating list of those pre-qualified) instead of using a bid/award process, which would take more time. Additionally, it allows the environmental process to occur after the repairs. The ‘emergency’ status designation may also provide additional financial options that would allow the city to fund the project more quickly.” As a backup, Linck drafted a letter explaining the safety issues identified by her committee for LJP&B to support for the record, and to be sent to the city, which the board voted to approve and send.
In other LJP&B news: ■ Projects intern accepted: To facilitate the landscaping associated with the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project and other LJP&B beautification tasks, the board agreed to take on an intern. The 25-year-old (whose name was not disclosed) is an advanced landscaping student requiring hands-on experience. His internship comes at the request of the German American Chamber of Commerce, California Chapter. With member Ann Dynes as the point of contact, the student will spend 15-20 hours a week on projects during August and September. ■ Board defers jazz festival vote: After meeting with, and garnering a positive
Global. The board said it would be open to hearing the item again should organizers propose a different date.
La Jolla Parks & Beaches member Ann Dynes tells the group an intern could help with landscaping projects.
■ Shack is back: Friends of WindanSea co-founder and LJP&B member Melinda Merryweather announced the historic WindanSea Shack has largely been replaced, after it was taken down ahead of the predicted El Niño storm, but fronds are still needed for the roof. “If you or anyone you know has a Canary Island Date Tree, please let us know. We need about 200, and as soon as the roof goes back on, we’re going to have a party.” She can be reached at lajollaparksandbeaches.org
response from the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, RTE Productions event director David Payne presented to the LJP&B board, plans for a jazz festival in Scripps Park. “We’re looking to bring a high-end, culture and jazz festival to Scripps Park this December. We expect 2,500 people, and the event will be all reserved seating with about three acts per night for three nights,” he said. Half of the park would be kept open for public use. With a history of producing events in outdoor venues, Payne said he was confident in his ability to deter unwanted noise and preserve the grass. Although slated as an action item, the board decided to withhold a vote pending more information, such as a map with parking and staging to provide scale, confirmation that the proposed dates do not conflict with other events, and exploration of alternative sites.
■ New MPA signs coming: WildCoast Conservation Director Zach Plopper showed the board signs proposed for the entrance of the Marine Protected Area (MPA) at La Jolla Cove that outline updated rules and regulations. But before they can be placed, the language must be approved, a location must be decided upon, and the person with the authority to physically install the sign (LJP&B member Bill Robbins said he’s been ready to place the signs for more than a year) must be confirmed. “As soon as we have that information, we’re good to go,” Plopper said. “The signage is in English and Spanish, and shows where you are in relation to the MPA. A lot of people don’t know that taking any living or non-living marine resource out of La Jolla Cove is illegal, so these signs show the rules.” — La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meets 4:30 p.m. Monday, July 25 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

WildCoast Conservation Director Zach Plopper holds the proposed sign to be posted near the entrance of the Marine Protected Area at La Jolla Cove. ■ Race plans denied: Plans for the Break Free Run race at Scripps Park were also heard, but denied because of a scheduling conflict. Proposed for Oct. 8, the same day as the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, LJP&B members worried about having two large events in La Jolla at the same time. The Art & Wine Festival is not held in Scripps Park, but nearby along Girard Avenue.

FROM WEDDING BOWL, A3 $30,000 annually, said Tim Graham, a city communications officer. Mendoza said most of her clients come from other places, creating even more revenue. “They come with 40-50 people, they celebrate receptions, they book hotels … It’s huge for the whole county,” she said. Across the street from the Wedding Bowl is Scripps Inn at 555 Coast Blvd. Front desk supervisor David Scheide said he has noticed a decrease in the amount of weddings booking rooms there. “We replace it with other business, however (a wedding) is guaranteed business,” Scheide said. The city admits that reservations for Cuvier Park weddings have fallen 6 percent in one year, from 188 ceremonies in 2014-2015 to 177 in 2015-2016. But Graham attributed the decrease to the 40-guest limit at the Wedding Bowl. “More weddings are inviting more than 40 people, which makes Cuvier not an option,” he said. On June 30 Mendoza received a call from a bride-to-be interested in celebrating her ceremony at Cuvier Park in July. “She said, ‘Some of the photos show it really green, but the current ones show it really has dirt, and I don’t want to get married in the dirt.’ So she ruled that park out.” Mendoza said she offered the caller other options in La Jolla, like Scripps and Calumet parks. “This is business I could lose because of the lack of grass,” she said. Scheide argued the bigger picture is people
A portion of The Wedding Bowl in Cuvier Park on June 27, 2016 come here for the beauty. “The aesthetics of La Jolla draw people from all over the world. If we don’t have a beautiful presentation, people are going to stop coming, like they are with the weddings,” he said. Both Mendoza and Scheide said they’ve complained to the city about the loss of lawn. Mendoza said she never heard back from them, but Scheide reported receiving an e-mail stating that the Park & Rec Department is going to fertilize the area. La Jolla Light contacted La Jolla Garden Club member Anne Caprioglio for her thoughts on how fertilizing would work. “I
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
don’t think just throwing fertilizer on an empty soil is going to do much,” she said. “They are probably going to have to add new soil and put in new grass,” she said. That process is called re-sodding. Grass expert Fausto Palafox, owner of the Mission Hills Nursery said re-sodding includes making sure the area has good irrigation, building up soil and fertilizer, grading the terrain, laying the sod (layers of soil where grass is already growing), rolling it with a special tool to compact the area, verifying the sod root system is making contact with the soil, and watering it three
or four times a day for 15 days. Palafox calculated that contracting out the process for approximately 100 square feet would cost up to $500, labor included. Scheide suggested, “We have Torrey Pines Golf Course three miles away. Those are city employees who maintain that. They should have some ability to get this park in decent shape very quickly.” The city’s response to all this came via e-mail: “The King Tides of December 2015 resulted in a significant amount of salty moisture for Cuvier Park, which is not good for the turf. That, coupled with the large amount of use, drought, and limited fertilization resulted in a large amount of stress to the turf. To address this, the city has recently improved the area by aerating and fertilizing the turf, which has resulted in a noticeable improvement. The space was aerated and fertilized again recently, and city staff expects additional improvements with time. “A major challenge to growing the turf during the busy summer months is that many events are already booked, and this limits staff’s ability to cordon off the area to give the grass a better opportunity to grow. A reduction in foot traffic and usage would be ideal for the grass to grow back quickly, and staff intends to address this after the summer season has ended. The city will continue to do everything that it can to grow additional grass at the park while accommodating the public that have reserved the space for their functions.”

Murfey Construction continues to build its business BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Murfey Construction first opened with five employees in a small office in Pacific Beach in 2009. On Aug. 1, the company is scheduled to move its 26 employees to a recently-acquired office building at 2150 Hancock St. in Mission Hills. “We wanted to look for something that would give us an opportunity, if we continue to grow, to add people to the team and not be constricted by our space,” said Jesse Lyons, business development manager. With more than 25 projects completed in the past few years, Lyons said that, at any time, the company has a variety of projects in motion. “We are finishing up a 36-unit luxury apartment in Hillcrest, and we are about to break ground on a 78-unit luxury apartment building in Point Loma,” he said. In total, Murphy Construction is managing the building of almost 200 units countywide, and a number of “from the ground up” custom homes, several in La Jolla. “La Jolla is our bread and butter, the place where even in bad times, people are still building custom homes,” Lyons said. To handle this volume of work, Murfey Construction has developed a team-based operating system. The company has groups

Not pictured: Michelle, Kaitlin and Steve. of people who work together to ensure that everything goes smoothly when building or remodeling people’s homes. “As of today, besides the principals, there are groups of project managers, project engineers, project coordinators, superintendents and skilled tradesmen who work interchangeably on the project side. There is a dedicated accounting team to support the project efforts and manage company finances, and I handle the operations side of things, which includes
marketing, business development and IT,” Lyons said. Technology also plays a role in the connectivity of this team. “We are,” Lyons explained, “100 percent cloud-based. This allows all of our employees the flexibility and capability to work from anywhere in the world, provided an Internet connection and a cell phone. We are using technology in a way that no one else is, to really drive the decision-making and the management of
construction, which at the end of the day, increases our ability to communicate between all the partners, the client, the architect … it allows us to track things more efficiently, and the bottom line is that it saves the client money and keeps the project on budget and on schedule.” The company offers full-on contracting services in both residential and commercial areas. “We also do consulting and preconstruction work for folks with a project in mind, but who have problems working through all the steps. Another plus is the real estate side of the business, which is Veritas Urban Properties,” Lyons said. “Quality. Honesty. Integrity,” is Murfey Construction’s motto. “We can show you a tangible list of processes and explain how we do each one of those things, and then if you look at the projects we’ve completed and their success, I think they speak for themselves.” —Murfey Contruction is at 1571 La Playa Ave. until August when it will move to 2150 Hancock Street.

ere is my idea for removing the sea lions from La Jolla Cove without touching or hurting them, while cleaning the rocks, bluffs and beaches of their urine and poop at the same time. The La Jolla Coastal Broom Patrol would consist of many individuals with long brooms. Step 1 would take place over a period of days (as needed) and is called The Wall of Brooms. It starts at Goldfish Point and stretches all the way to The Cove as the first goal. From the bluff above Goldfish Point down to the waters-edge (where the skin divers go into the water in front of the Sunny Jim Cave and the Shell Shop Platform), we’ll begin the line of individuals with the long brooms. Imagine how the Roman Legions created battle lines of soldiers and interlocking shields moving slowly, one step at a time, pushing the enemy back. We’ll take this line of brooms and move in slowly, sweeping and cleaning the entire way. This should be enough to annoy and pester the pinnipeds, and over time, with the presence of the Broom Patrol, the sea lions will move back, off the rocks and into the water to find another home. There is no need to move fast nor make contact with the animals, the Broom Patrol wall of people will just be in position sweeping and moving forward — starting at inches a day — moving slowly is the key to pushing the sea lions back safely. This will be a 24-hour-a-day project, since at night, the sea lions completely

The Broom Patrol phase one may also need water support with the use of long garden hoses pumping sea water to spray the animals from yards away to annoy them as the Broom Patrol line moves nearer. This water spray and broom combination will completely cleanse the animal poop and urine off the rocks in the process. At first, the sweeping and hosing of the rocks all of sea lion excrement and contaminants into the ocean will cause severe pollution of the water, just like with heavy rain storm runoff, so it will be necessary to close the areas to swimmers for the Broom Patrol Wall time period, and it will be best to launch Step 1 in the winter when rain and powerful surf, along with smaller beach crowds, will allow the ocean to clean itself much faster – in, most likely, just a

few days. Once the Step 1 of the Broom Patrol Wall completes the mass removal of sea lions, poop and urine from the rocks, bluffs and beaches, then we begin Step 2. This involves a small Broom Patrol crew working in 24-hour shifts roaming the areas of beaches and bluffs to maintain the annoyance to the sea lions, keeping them off the rocks, bluffs and beaches for the long-term. Just imagine, even now, without any preparation, how a small group of people with brooms moving down the beach would quickly and easily get the sea lions to move into the water, and that is the simple idea! There just needs to be a few people “walking this beat,” much like police guards, but simply, be people with brooms.
OUR READERS WRITE More ideas for ending La Jolla’s Cove Stench To get rid of the stench, we need to get rid of the pinnipeds. Not harm them physically or emotionally — make it their choice to leave. If it were easy, it would have already been done. Dogs stationed on the beach might encourage them to go elsewhere. Rounding them up and transporting the sea lions to San Clemente Island or Morro Bay would work, but who’s to say they and/or others won’t return. Putting up nets in the water (like Australia
does to keep sharks from swimmers) and which allow divers and snorkelers access to deeper waters, might just be the solution. It’s only a matter of time before these pinnipeds attract sharks to the area and a swimmer is attacked — not IF, but WHEN! Pete Ward
Sidewalk project: Good idea, but not mine I would like to thank La Jolla Light reporter María José Durán for her interest in the
walkability of La Jolla’s older neighborhoods, as well as the Light for featuring bike and pedestrian access in our community. I would, however, like to correct the record that stated I am involved in “an effort to create a network of private pedestrian trails (in the open space on Mt. Soledad).” My comments to Ms. Duran were referring to project review conducted by the Development Permit Review Committee (DPR), of which I am a member. DPR routinely requests information on existing easements as part of its duties on behalf of the community. Recent examples include the Copley “Reserve” Master Plan and the Country

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Club Reservoir Replacement project, both reviewed in 2015, and the Muirlands water line replacement project from earlier this year. DPR’s purpose was to ensure that existing utility and access easements remained unimpaired. These could form fragments of a future trail network. Unlike the Coastal Commission, DPR does not solicit private access easements as a condition of project approval. Although I think a public trail network on Mt. Soledad would be a desirable community amenity, and certainly much safer for recreational exercise than walking on our narrow streets without sidewalks, spearheading such a system is beyond my time and energy budgets. I would, however, graciously impart the idea to others who are more liberally endowed with those resources than I. Diane Kane
More sidewalks, more happy people I recently read the La Jolla Light article titled, “Why No Sidewalks”? As an avid skateboarder I like to be able to use my skateboard to get to my friends’ houses or other activities. Unfortunately, the part of La Jolla that I live in often has patches of sidewalks that are missing. I have at times felt unsafe when I have had to use the street instead of a sidewalk. I would strongly advise that sidewalks be put in for the safety of other skaters and pedestrians alike. If the City of San Diego is unwilling to pay for the sidewalks, I would ask the La Jolla Town Council to take on the issue of organizing community volunteers for monetary donations and time to install
sidewalks. I belong to Boy Scout Troop 506 and the National League of Young Men, and I know both organizations would be willing to offer members who would volunteer their time to help with any community sidewalk projects Preston Buljat La Jolla High School
Artist must follow Code Enforcement If the structure on Avenida Mañana in La Jolla is allowed to stay, watch out City of San Diego! Anyone who wants to build anything on their property can do so, if they call it “art.” No requirements will be enforced because you can tell Code Enforcement that because “he did it, so can I.” You can also tell Code Enforcement to stand in line at the unemployment office to collect their checks because their jobs have no value at all.

Note on Congress and a little Flag ‘foolery’ Several years ago, while vacationing in Connecticut, I found an old American Flag in a barn in Woodbury. The Flag is a handmade, very large (6 x 16.5 feet), Garrison Flag with 43 stars and it may have flown on the Connecticut State Capitol. Unfortunately the size of my treasured 43 star flag makes it a challenge to fly ... I have had to settle for a “folded” display. Research led to the discovery that my flag is extremely rare and the reason for its rarity
makes for a rather interesting Fourth of July story. Most of us have probably forgotten how and when stars were added to our Flag ... here is an excerpt from a letter from David Martucci, an American Flag historian: “This flag dates from the one year that the 43 star flag was official, from 4 July 1890 to 3 July 1891, and is very rare in that Congress pulled a ‘fast one’ by their action immediately before this flag became official. Stars are added to the U.S. Flag by law on the Fourth of July, following admission to the Union. In 1889, the flag bore 38 stars. A bill was introduced in Congress to admit one new state, Dakota. Flag makers began to make 39-star flags. However, Congress fooled everyone by dividing Dakota into two states, before admitting them together, on Nov. 2, 1889. Just six days later, Nov. 8 1889, Congress also admitted Montana and then proceeded to admit Washington only three days after that, on Nov. 11, 1889. There the matter rested and the flag makers no doubt, all breathing a collective sigh of relief, began to make 42-star flags in sizeable numbers. Congress, however, was not finished with its practical jokes. Late in the day of July 3, 1890, less than 24 hours before the new stars were to be added, Congress proceeded to admit Idaho, the 43rd state. There were no 43 star flags available, although we have anecdotes of folks quickly sewing on an additional star for the July 4 celebrations. Before the flag makers could get into action to start making correct flags, Congress proceeded to admit Wyoming on July 10, 1890. The flag makers began to switch directly to 44 star flags, once they got Congress to promise to quit its admission frenzy.” Joseph Manno

UCSD students create campus solar relaxing station BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The first student engineering project approved to be built on the UC San Diego campus is up and running. “Solar Chill” is a spot for students to get away from stress and, at the same time, a solar station where they can charge electronic devices. The project, which took three years to finalize, started with an idea from students Cyrus Jahanian and Ellen Pots, who said they were inspired by a trip to Costa Rica where they saw many hammocks. They wanted to build an area where students could relax and unwind. When “Solar Chill” got underway, some engineering students jumped in and came up with the idea of including solar energy in the design. It was fall 2015 when Josh Hill took over. The third-year environmental engineering student was happy to announce the station functions. “Today, we were working on it, just out there with shovels, putting in some plants and landscaping, and I plugged my

The site features a 1.5 kilowatt

The benches have electrical ports where one can charge multiple devices, and a LED light fixture provides illumination at night. The cost of the project, although they are still finishing up last
details, will reach around $96,000. Hill said that they received discounts and donations that saved $15,000. The most expensive area was the labor because of campus regulations. “Because we are in a public university we needed to have licensed contractors, a part of the funding was for labor cost, so we were able to afford a contractor to
assemble the parts and install them on site,” he said. The students received funding from The Green Initiative Fund, the Triton Engineering Student Council and the Social Innovation Fund. “Solar Chill” can be found on Scholars Drive North next to Building 3 of the Village at Torrey Pines, across from The Rady School of Management on UCSD campus.

CRIME & PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS
Murdered Realtor had ties to La Jolla Irrational fears of financial ruin and emotional pressure may have driven a Clairemont woman to kill her teenage niece and a family friend, then herself, in the girl’s luxury Rancho Santa Fe home, a family attorney said July 1. Sheriff’s homicide investigators released autopsy results that Hannah Arya, 15, and Los Angeles real estate broker Ihnwon Mia Shin, 56, were stabbed to death by Sayeh Amini, 52, who then committed suicide by stabbing or cutting herself, said Homicide detective Lt. Kenn Nelson. The killings took place Monday, June 27 inside the Via de la Valle home owned by Hannah’s father, Michael Arya, before his death in April. Friends and family members have said Hannah came home from an Arizona boarding school with Shin, a longtime friend and business associate of her father, joining her as a sort of chaperone. It was not clear why Amini went to the house. Shin, who grew up in La Jolla and went to La Jolla High School, was a successful broker, her sister said. She spoke to The San Diego Union-Tribune on condition that her name not be published, and said Shin and Arya had been neighbors at one time. Investigators had said someone called 911 about 11 a.m. to report possible child abuse at the home. Nelson declined to reveal what was heard or seen, but he said a couple of juveniles and an adult, acquaintances of Hannah’s, had been in front of her house, then went a short distance down the street to call for help. No calls for help were made from inside the house. Deputies summoned by the call got no answer at the door but saw through a window a woman lying dead on the floor. They broke in and found the other two bodies in other parts of the house. The lawyer, a family friend of Amini and her husband, James Moliere, described her as delusional and suicidal since the death of her brother, who had lived in the home with his Russian girlfriend. He died at age 59 after a three-year battle with lung cancer. “(Amini) had it in her head that friends of her brother were going to blame her for her brother’s death, and perhaps people would come after her in lawsuits, to ruin her financially,” said Carl Starett, an El Cajon bankruptcy attorney. He said Amini’s husband tried twice to have her admitted to a hospital when she became suicidal recently. On June 13 she was talking of harming herself, but refused to accept admission to the hospital, Starett said. Two days later, after she’d visited her brother’s house, a family friend told Moliere that Amini needed help. He took her back to the hospital and she stayed overnight before being discharged. Hannah was attending Verde Valley boarding and day school in Sedona, Arizona. In social media postings her many friends remember her as a kind, loving and beautiful girl. She took part in equestrian events at school. Shin looked out for Hannah after her father’s death, according to Leyla Kaya, who used to
babysit Hannah and work for Arya. He owned Global Capital Group in downtown San Diego, a mortgage and real estate firm, and for a time owned Café Lulu in downtown San Diego. Shin’s sister said Shin was with Hannah on Sunday, making dinner for her and a teenage friend. “She had nothing to do with their family stuff,” the sister said in a telephone interview. “My sister was a practicing Buddhist. This is very odd. She’s always talking about cause and effect. I can’t understand how this has happened…” Shin was unmarried and had no children. Kaya spoke of Shin as sophisticated, sassy, charming and tough. She once sold a house to tennis star Serena Williams. “She went through a rough patch (when Michael was dying),” Kaya said. “She finally felt at peace and felt like her whole life was changing for the better.” Kaya said Hannah flew into San Diego on July 2 and was planning to stay through the Fourth of July. Kaya was supposed to pick her up, but plans changed and Shin drove down from Los Angeles to get her. Then Kaya, Shin and Hannah ate dinner at Cafe Gratitude in Little Italy, and got yogurt before going to the airport to pick up the girl’s friend, who flew in from Portland, Oregon. Kaya was invited to spend the night at Hannah’s house and have dinner with the group on Sunday. Shin, who favored healthy foods, was going to cook. Kaya said she wasn’t feeling well so she didn’t go. Shin was happy that weekend, talking about a $70 million project she had just secured in La Jolla, Kaya said. “None of this makes sense. It’s very confusing, shocking,” Kaya said of the killings. “Mia was an innocent bystander. She came to help Hannah.” She said Arya went through a messy divorce, and Hannah lived with Arya and his girlfriend, Marina Ryzhkova. She added that Arya and his sister never had a close relationship. Ryzhkova returned to Russia sometime after Arya’s death, and signed away her trustee rights to act for his estate in the event that Amini could not fulfill that role, according to Starett. With Amini dead, another family member could step in as trustee, or a professional could be appointed by the court, he said. Starett said he has known Amini’s husband, Moliere, for 35 years. Moliere, a software engineer, was married to Amini for 16 years and they had three sons, ages 10, 12 and 15. She was a stay-at-home mother who also managed rental properties she and her husband owned. Starett said Amini was the trustee of the Michael Arya Revocable Living Trust, and in that role had to manage the estate assets, such as paying the mortgage, utility bills, and Hannah’s tuition. Under terms of the trust, Hannah was to inherit 50 percent of the estate, and the other half was to be split among Amini, Ryzhkova, a niece and a nephew. Arya bought the Rancho Santa Fe house for $950,000 in 2014, according to a real estate website. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom home of 2,395 square feet was built in 1986, SEE CRIME, A26

FROM CRIME, A25 and is currently valued at $1.32 million, the website said. “There’s no financial incentive I can see for her (Amini) to kill Hannah,” Starett said. He noted California law prevents a murderer from reaping financial benefits from the killing. He also said he knew of no serious dispute within the family over Amini’s role as trustee or her share of the inheritance. “The pressures of being trustee might have gotten to her,” Starett added. “There were some checks that weren’t written in a timely fashion. That could have led to some family friction.” Hannah’s mother, who lives in Oregon, remarried after her divorce from Arya. Starett said public records show that on June 10, she filed a lien against the estate for child support, discovery costs and attorney’s fees totaling $125,246. A judge confirmed an order for the liens to be recorded. Starett said he doubted Amini would have had time to receive mailed notice of the lien before Monday, so it was not a likely trigger for the slayings. He said Amini’s husband is “numb” while dealing with the murder-suicide and their three sons. —Pauline Repard, The San Diego Union Tribune
Nearly 600K visit beaches over holiday San Diego Lifeguards estimate 258,750 people made their way to San Diego beaches on the Fourth of July, and that 344 rescues were made. Leading up to the holiday, there were more than 340,000 beachgoers (155,000 on Saturday and 185,800 on Sunday) and 439 rescues. Lee Swanson, Media Services Manager for the City of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, reports a total of 599,550 beachgoers and 783 rescues. This compares to 537,200 people at the beaches over the three-day holiday weekend in 2015, when lifeguards performed 154 rescues. In 2014, 954,000 beachgoers were out during the three day holiday weekend and there were 468 rescues.

David N. Rinehart
March 31, 1928 - June 15, 2016 La JoLLa — David Rinehart, well-known architect and former professor in the Schools of architecture at the University of oregon and at the University of Southern California and Fellow of the american Society of architects, died peacefully at his home in La Jolla, California, on June 15, 2016, after a six-year struggle with aphasia, dementia and Parkinson’s. He was 88 years old. Rinehart grew up on a farm in ohio near the Indiana border but from the age of 10 his family assumed he’d become an artist. He entered the School of Fine arts at Indiana University when he was 17. He graduated, served his time in the U.S. army in post-World War II Germany and came home to get an advanced degree not in art, but architecture. Given an interview at the famed School of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, he talked himself in, entering as an upperclassman though he lacked the usual academic credentials. at Penn in 1957 Rinehart won the arthur Spayd Brooke Memorial Prize for distinguished work in architectural design. His teacher and mentor at Penn was Louis I. Kahn, one of the great architects of the 20th Century, and upon graduation he
worked in Kahn’s studio for several years, collaborating with Kahn on the famed Salk Institute in La Jolla (1960), a landmark of North american architecture. In 1964 Rinehart moved to Montreal where in concert with architect Moshe Safdie the conceptbreaking residential project Habitat ’67 was designed for the Montreal World’s Fair. In 1967 he moved west to teach at the University of oregon in Eugene, encouraging other Kahn-inspired architects to become members of the faculty. Desiring to practice as well as teach, in 1970 he joined longtime friend and architectural partner Jack Macallister, and Stan Ring, establishing a firm in La Jolla (later Rancho Santa Fé) which in 1973 created the master plan for the Telluride Ski Resort. In addition to teaching, from 1980 to 1986 his professional practice was with Bobrow, Thomas and associates in Westwood,
and in 1986 as Principal of Design, he was also joined by Macallister and Peter Stazicker to establish the Los angeles office of anshen + allen, a wellknown San Francisco firm. In 1993 he was chosen by Jonas Salk to design the Salk Institute’s East Building. other noted work includes the award winning Bourns Hall at UC Riverside which received a national design award from the american Institute of architects in 1996, the Molecular Sciences Building at UCLa, the Mingei International Folk art Museum, and the Shiley Eye Institute in San Diego. as a well-respected teacher and mentor (oregon 1967-1970, UCLa 1972, USC 1975-1988), he was passionate and accessible, leaving behind two generations of architects who were informed by his example, and legacy, seeing light as a basic material in revealing form and structure. “I see space,” he said, “as a receptacle of light and light as the spent force that creates presence.” Light, honesty and elegance also defined Rinehart as a person. He never lost touch with his roots in ohio or the honesty of a plowed field, and he was powerfully affected by certain beauties. Few would write “My seminal architectural
experience occurred in 1998 at the age of 70.” He said this after traveling with friends in Tuscany to the rural Romanesque church of Sant’antimo. He was deeply moved when he experienced in its’ interior “the complete brilliance and union of sunlight, stone, space, and being, each the other, all – one.” When his dementia and aphasia were diagnosed in 2010, his response was to embrace and learn from it rather than fear the changes. a series of drawings, sketches, and watercolors of persons and places resulted, and an exhibition of those pieces appeared at the Palos Verde art Center in late 2014. He continued drawing, painting, and playing Bill Evans arrangements on the piano until Parkinson’s made those pleasures impossible. David is survived by Tony Rasmussen, his partner of 45 years; his sister, Joyce; niece, Jolynn; nephew, Gary; and their families.

abandoning his car in the East Village and escaping on foot, was in custody July 1 following his arrest in Rancho Penasquitos. Officers investigating a report of a suspicious person in a neighborhood near the northern reaches of Black Mountain Open Space Park found Haugley passed out in a stolen car in the 11200 block of Paseo Montanoso about 9:30 a.m. July 1, according to San Diego police. When roused, Haugley, who allegedly had a methamphetamine pipe on his lap, refused to cooperate with the patrol personnel and became combative, Lt. Scott Wahl said. The officers were able to take him into custody following a brief scuffle, the lieutenant said. In the pursuit for which Haugley was being sought on April 28, officers responding to a request to check on a man’s welfare found Haugley sitting in a parked red Honda Accord in the area of Caminito Eastbluff and Via Sonoma in the La Jolla Village area, according to police. Seeing the officers, Haugley drove off, and they followed him and tried to pull him over. Haugley allegedly refused to yield and fled to the north through La Jolla, driving at high speed and so erratically that police soon decided to back off the chase for safety reasons.

Bird Rock residents consider private security force BY ASHLEY MACKIN The Bird Rock area has a strong Neighborhood Watch program that regularly provides safety updates at the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meetings. Unfortunately, it’s a program bred from necessity. Often reporting suspicious persons and people “casing” the neighborhood, residents have long-heard casers and thefts are considered “low priority” calls by the over-worked San Diego Police Department. In the last few months, many residential burglaries and car break-ins have been reported, which some blame on a lack of police presence. BRCC member Ron Fineman requested a presentation on private security for the neighborhood, which took place June 30 at Chase Bank. “There has been a lot of chatter on nextdoor.com about thefts in the area. We’ve heard a lot about residential burglaries, commercial burglaries and vehicle theft,” he said. “If you like what you hear or think there is a better way, speak up and come to the BRCC meetings.” Recommending National Public Safety as a private firm with which to contract, he introduced CEO Douglas Frost at the meeting. Originally from Detroit, Frost said he moved to San Diego in 1996 and attended the San Diego Police Academy. But when no one was hiring, he started National Public Safety. “We are statewide, from here to Sacramento, ocean to desert. We have all the tools that local law enforcement have,” Frost told the gathering. “What we end up doing is taking the low priority calls so police officers don’t have to … because they are understaffed and just don’t have the resources. So let them deal with the felonies and let us have the low priority calls.” Although “not every officer likes the private sector,” Frost reported a good relationship with SDPD. “I see it as a big-brother/little-brother relationship. We evaluate a situation and once it gets to a certain point (such as someone needing to be arrested or taken to jail), then we call big
sense for why they’re around and get a visual on the person.” Added sales director Bianca Jones, “As you call in, and a dispatcher is taking your call, they are typing (the details) into our system and that goes to the officers directly, so they can be on route while you are still on the phone.” Because the patrol area would be much smaller than the San Diego Police Department’s, Frost said officers can get to know a community and its needs. “We learn about Mrs. Jones who keeps her porch light on every night, so if we see the porch light out, we look into whether it was burned out or unscrewed. That’s what we’re trained to do,” he said. “We use stats to adjust our coverage, so if one area has a lot of problems, we focus on that area. We’re here to give a sense of PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN Ron Fineman, Bird Rock calm and security, but we’re not going to stop everything.

Art and cartography intertwine in ‘Art Meets Maps’ exhibit BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN he pictures that comprise the current exhibition at the Map & Atlas Museum of La Jolla could be found in the London Underground of the early 20th century, the pocket of a tourist in the Coachella Valley in the 1950s, or the walls of a French airport 50 years ago. The “Art Meets Maps” exhibit features pictographic maps — pieces that mix cartography, art and illustration. “As opposed to a regular map or a chart, which is meant to be a working document, a pictorial map, for example, shows London in a graphic sort of way, providing information to the person about the underground, but the great difference is the illustration added to the cartography,” said Richard Cloward, the map museum’s director. The exhibit includes nine pieces made by British artist and illustrator MacDonald Gill, whom Cloward described as a “true Renaissance man.” In 1918, Gill created the oldest map in the exhibit, a colorful

Playwright returns to La Jolla with his ‘Tiger Style’ at the Playhouse BY ASHLEY MACKIN Talk about a homecoming! Tickets are on sale for “Tiger Style!” a comedy coming to La Jolla Playhouse this fall, written by La Jolla High School graduate Mike Lew. And although Lew grew up near the Playhouse, he said he never imagined he would one day stage a production there. “My dad worked at the VA Hospital at UCSD, and I knew there was always this theater nestled there. While I went to plays there when I was a kid, I didn’t know I would eventually get into theater,” he said. “I’ve had productions in New York, but this will be the first time I’m working back home. It’s something I’ve dreamed of doing for a long time.” During his time at La Jolla High School (Class of 1999), Lew said he was on a science track, participating in Science Fairs and the Science Olympiads. Trading research notes for script writing, he said it took him a while to see the “rigor” involved in playwriting. “Having a science background, it seemed people in theater were just making stuff up, so it didn’t really make sense to me,” he said. But while attending college at Yale, he was exposed to the performing arts and felt a calling. “I can’t say where it came from, but I went to school in an arts-friendly atmosphere, so maybe it was a matter of exposure,” he said. In his relatively short time in the world of theater, Lew has racked up some serious accolades. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild Council; a Tony voter; and recipient of the Lanford Wilson Award, Helen Merrill
Award, the Kendeda and AracaWorks Grad Playwriting Awards, Heideman Award, Pacific/Rim Prize, and is a Sam French Festival Winner. He is co-director of Ma-Yi Writers Lab, the largest collective of Asian-American playwrights in the country, and serves on the Members' Council of Ensemble Studio Theater. “Tiger Style!” is one of 10 productions in which he has been a part.

Pictographic maps not only show cities, towns and roads, but they can contain information about the distinctive flora and fauna, a region’s crops and cattle, or what metals are found in the land. After World War I, Gill started getting assignments to teach Brits about the value of the colonies. The “Tea Map,” from 1937 pictures Ceylon, India, Sumatra and Java, four colonies from which United Kingdom got its favorite 5 o’clock herb. Another of Gill’s pieces in the “Art Meets Maps” exhibit was done for the early United Nations (UN), and shows a sun shining over all the UN countries, which have their characteristics artfully presented. “These are educational, but they attractive enough to catch your eye,” Cloward commented. Two years ago, the Map & Atlas Museum of La Jolla got great reviews from a
LA JOLLA LIGHT - JULY 7, 2016 - PAGE B7
temporary exhibit featuring the work of Jo Mora, a California illustrator whose work included an iconic 1928 “Whimsical Map of San Diego.” “People came in here and said, ‘Wow!’ We realized that many times, people come in and find the other maps almost overwhelming, but when we put in the Mora collection, people were very attracted to those pictorial maps,” he said. Five of the Mora works became part of the museum’s permanent collection and can be appreciated along with the new show. Cloward explained that the purpose of many 20th century pictographic maps was advertisement or propaganda. The exhibit includes two pieces by Lucien Boucher from the 1950s that were public campaigns for Air France. “We put them here because they are neat. The top one is cosmography, and the bottom one is the world on its hemispheres. You almost don’t realize this is an advertisement because it looks more like a work of art,” he said. Many pictographic maps take design elements from early cartography. For example, the Air France posters show two
WELCOME TO YOUR LIVING-INHARMONY-WITH-A-BLACKLABRADOR ROOM
wind-blowing characters that can be found in a 16th century Dutch map elsewhere in the museum. Another characteristic is the use of squared vignettes along the outsides of the maps. One not-to-miss piece in the show is a Coachella Valley map from the 1950s by Dolores d’Ambly. “You can’t put a pricetag on that because it’s the only one known to exist,” Cloward said. Other than that one, original pictographic maps are “within a reasonable price —in the thousands,” he said. “The last 15 years or so have been really remarkable in the amount of interest that’s been shown in pictographic maps,” Cloward said. “They are being produced today at various levels of quality… it’s kind of like your grandfather’s poster, don’t take it down and throw it away, it might be valuable some day,” he concluded. The exhibit will be on through May 20, 2017. ■ IF YOU GO: The Map Museum has free admission and is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays, and first and third Saturdays (except holiday weekends) at 7825 Fay Ave., Suite LL-A.

Let’s Talk About Home Care. Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one. Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock. Home care supports advanced care needs. Our caregivers are experienced and trained to support older adults who are transitioning home from the hospital, recovering from a stroke or a major medical procedure, or managing chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or diabetes.

Monarch Gallery positions itself to amaze
S
omething special has been going on at the Monarch Art Gallery in the Village. Owner Elsie Arredondo, who bought the gallery a couple of years ago from Leland Williams and moved it from the touristy Prospect location to the more serious art district, 7629 Girard Ave., has been putting together some exhibits that are charting a new direction for the arts in La Jolla. Last month’s reception featured a multi-disciplinary performance by an electronic violinist, a dancer and a charcoal painter who produced a wall-sized painting as patrons watched in amazement. The June 25 reception featured world-renowned artist Spar Street, a towering figure in more ways than one; he stands 6-foot 6-inches tall. Spar has been commissioned by the Nobel Peace Prize Foundation to produce stainless steel heart-shaped sculptures in commemoration of its 100th anniversary that will be given out by the World Peace One Foundation to worthy individuals. Plans are also in the works for large sculptures of the same design to be installed in “Peace Parks” throughout the world. It’s envisioned that these parks, promoting world peace, will become monuments on the level of World Heritage sites such as the Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal. His work will be at the gallery through Aug. 6.
Spar Street and Elsie Arrendondo
RICHARD PHARAOH
Spar Street’s ‘The Eternal Flame’ Arredondo said she developed her artistic sensibilities as head art therapist with Kaiser Permanente. She said her goal is to create a serious art gallery that brings the best of new
artists to La Jolla for the community’s appreciation. Arredondo selected Street, who is collected by the likes of Ted Turner, Jane Goodall, Kenny Loggins and Jewel, because “he’s nothing like what I’ve seen before; he creates flawless sculptures and paintings using cutting-edge technology and aerospace specifications, leading to new types of art experience.” Austrian-born Marvin Wiseman is Street’s agent, who he flew in for the opening. Wiseman said he became involved with helping Street two years ago because, “I was as so impressed with his mixed-media paintings, which feature up to 100 separate layers of paint. These paintings are able to capture

changing light and shadow conditions to create a sense of movement on the canvas.” Street is both a master of painting and of sculpture. The molds for his works are made with a 3D printer. Each sculpture is cast in sections and then welded together and polished. The surfaces as so refined they must be handled with white gloves. They have an awe-inspiring ability to reflect the light all around them, as well as an image of the viewer! “My casting methods using the 3D printer are the first great advance in the Lost Wax Method in over 3,000 years,” Street said. His friend Cindy Coleman and her husband, Daryle, were at the opening, and of his work Cindy remarked, “Spar is a very pure

person who sees nature in interesting ways and is able to capture the life going on in a moment of time on his canvas.” Gerson and Donna Fernandes also attended opening night. Gerson helped build many high-rises in New York City and stated his amazement at the amount of time Street puts into his work. Talking with Street, I discovered he is a graduate of the Chicago Institute of Art, a world-class snow skier, and an avid surfer who has a warehouse-sized art studio on the island of Maui. “My dad, who was a sailing enthusiast, gave me the name of Spar,” he said. “He named my brother Jib. ... I’m interested in how we can connect with others in meaningful ways, like in the movie ‘Avatar,’ where they say, ‘I see you.’ “Each work I create is a meditation. I’m always asking myself the question: ‘What is meaningful? What is important? What matters most? My answers seem to revolve around love and connection, and are
reflected in my art. “Before I start a piece, I bless water and pour a little on the canvas as an offering or invocation. My intuitions and insights come together and manifest as I work with my materials. “I’d like to thank the people of La Jolla for building such a beautiful community and for nurturing the development of my loving wife, Satya, a La Jolla high graduate, whom I met at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street. I would like to invite them to the gallery to experience my work, which I think will invoke in them an awareness of ‘Kuhiana,’ which is Hawaiian for ‘Your true path or true purpose in life.’” Software engineer and art collector Gary Lang was inspired to buy a bronze V-shaped Street sculpture “Victory.” Lang said the piece is so important to him that he has decided to buy a new house to better showcase the work. Hearing this, Street was moved to “cry for happy,” because he said he’d been thinking this might be the right piece for Lang to own.

W
hen summer’s furnace cranks on, no one really feels like cooking or even firing up the good old Weber. Alas, the only thing we might be inclined to make is reservations. Here are some seasonal tips for keeping cool, calm, hydrated and energized until autumn breezes in. Yin for Din: In Asian traditions there is a delicate balancing act between the principles of yin and yang, the former representing cooling foods that induce cold energy and a calming effect on the body, the latter “heaty” or heat-provoking ones. Typical cooling foods include bamboo shoots, bananas, crab, lettuces, particularly bitter Romaine, seaweed, melons, cucumber, yogurt, pineapple, turmeric, assorted mushrooms, especially criminis, and various white-hued roots. These yummy yins are salty and lean, rife with potassium, soggy and wet, and thrive with little sunlight. The steamy yangs, on the other hand, are sweet, fatty, hard and dry foods that contain a lode of sodium, and sprout under the blazing sun. Some examples of “heaty” foods are ginger, cinnamon bark, soybean oil, coffee, onions, apricots, liver, beef and red peppers. So when you want a cooling sensation, amp up the yins, or add some to balance your spicy yangs. Pair a juicy, chilled
slice of melon (honeydew, cantaloupe or the quintessential fruit of summer, the mighty watermelon), or some mineral-rich vegetarian sea treasures (nori, arame or kombu) with a plate of fried rice or spicy noodles to put out the fire. Give it Some Juice: Keep your kitchen cool by “cooking” with acid instead of heat. Lemon, lime and other lip-puckering citrus juices make a wonderful marinade to denature the fibers of assorted proteins, so you will not need to apply heat to safely prepare these assorted offerings. Whip up a batch of seafood ceviche with deep-sea scallops, wild-caught shrimp, snapper and salmon, blended with chopped red onion and cucumber, cilantro, a Technicolor of heirloom tomatoes and chunks of Hass avocado in an intoxicating lemon-lime marinade to cool your heels all summer long. Mint Condition: Toss some fresh, exhilarating mint leaves into your summer salads, stir-fries, iced teas and lemonades, pilafs and taboulis, or top off lamburgers, grilled chicken and frozen treats. This heady herb with cooling and soothing properties and an invigorating perfume perks up heat-induced logginess. Worth One’s Salt: A brief lesson in Chemistry 101 will teach you that tossing a

Romance, struggle, wit and inspiration in new musical ‘Sense and Sensibility’
BY DIANA SAENGER For years fans of Jane Austen’s works have clamored for more. They’ve read her books over and over again. Films based on her stories, “Pride and Prejudice,” “Sense and Sensibility,” “Emma,” “Becoming Jane,” “Mansfield Park” and more, have inspired and enthralled her fan base, which continues to grow with each new decade. In association with the Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST), The Old Globe Theatre is staging the West Coast premiere of Paul Gordon’s acclaimed new musical, “Sense and Sensibility.” CST founder and artistic director Barbara Gaines, who has helm-ed more than 30 Shakespearean productions, was quite willing to direct. “Writer/composer Paul Gordon and I wanted to work together,” Gaines said. “We were supposed to work on ‘Emma’ a number of years ago, but someone else optioned it. Paul suggested we do ‘Sense and Sensibility,’ and I said ‘that’s perfect.’ Having read the book, it’s impossible not to love it, so we’ve been working on it for three or four years now. Jane Austen was a genius. We all love romance and her wit, and oft intensity for anything hypocritical. Her view of the world can easily fit into our world view today; we have the same problems and the same struggles.” “Sense and Sensibility,” begins in the 1800s with the Dashwood sisters, Marianne (Megan McGinnis) and Elinor (Sharon Rietkerk), and brother John (David Schlumpf), having just lost their father. Making matters worse is the fact that John’s wife does not want his sisters in their house, which was bequeathed to John. The sisters leave on their own journeys of life and find surprising ups and downs. Moving the story from a play to a musical didn’t phase Gaines at all.
Director Barbara Gaines
COURTESY OF CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE
Emily Berman as Lucy Steele, Sharon Rietkerk as Elinor Dashwood, Wayne Alan Wilcox as Edward Ferrars, and Megan McGinnis as Marianne Dashwood in Chicago Shakespeare’s 2015 production of ‘Sense and Sensibility.’ The Old Globe’s production runs through Aug. 14. “It was a very small change,” she said. “Works by Shakespeare are very musical, too, so it was a very smooth transition for me. I’ve done several operas, and the Lyric Opera in Chicago. I love being around music, it makes me happy.” The cast is huge, with most from the Chicago production, a few from California
and a few from New York. Gaines said some of the characters were very easy to cast, others took a long time, but were worth the wait. The Globe production crew has made some minor changes to the Chicago show. “Rick Boynton is the creative producer in charge of the theater of new classics, and this is a new classic by Jane Austen we’re putting
COURTESY
music to,” Gaines said. “Rick is one of the best dramaturgs and producers, and he guides the show and the script until it’s ready to be performed. We had many workshops and brought in different actors to read the script. We removed some dialogue and added more. We tried different songs working with the musical team of Rick, musical supervisor Curtis Moore and music director Laura Bergquist. “The musical is witty, funny, incredibly romantic and suspenseful,” Gaines said. “I was astounded that the Chicago production attracted as many men as women. Some of the men were crying along with the women! It doesn’t seem to matter what gender sees it, ‘Sense and Sensibility’ touches a deep part of us as it deals with the human heart. It’s everything you could ask for in a play, and people will leave the theater feeling overwhelmingly happy … and thankful.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Sense and Sensibility,” runs through Aug. 14 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $39. (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org
Whole lotta shakin’ in musical revue at North Coast Rep BY DIANA SAENGER he foot-stomping, roof-raising “Ain’t Misbehavin – The Fats Waller Musical Show,” opens at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, July 13. It’s an award-winning musical tribute to the black musicians of the 1920s and ‘30s. Conceived by Richard Maltby, Jr., and Murray Horwitz, this production is directed by actress, singer, painter, producer and director Yvette Freeman (“Gee’s Bend,” NCRT and TV’s “ER,” “Orange is the New Black”), who has worked with NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein for many years. “I’m very excited about this play,” Freeman said. “I ended up in ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’’on Broadway and went on to star in stage productions with national and international companies. Theater is in my bones and I can still sing, but older now, I don’t do the dancing. I think younger people should be performing these shows and older people like me directing and sharing what we know about the business with the next generation.” Based on the signature Fats Waller song, the musical returns audiences to the glory days of the Harlem Renaissance when the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom served as playgrounds for high society. Freeman said part of the show’s success is Julia Lehman’s choreography. “Julia is an assistant to Arthur Faria, who created the original staging and choreography for the 1978 Tony

AARON RUMLEY
Yvonne and Ron Christopher Jones star in ‘Ain’t Misbehavin — the Fats Waller Musical Show,’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre through Aug. 7. Award-winning musical ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’,” she said. He received both the Tony and Drama Desk award nominations, and shared the Obie for the original production at the Manhattan Theatre Club. He recreated his work for the 10th anniversary Broadway revival starring the original cast. Faria
will be at the show, as will Horwitz and some of the other contributors. Freeman said she is also happy to work with her husband, music director Lanny Hartley. He studied music education at Indiana University and became an accomplished pianist, composer, director and teacher, garnering many awards. It was when he collaborated with Freeman on “Dinah Was” that they fell in love and got married. “This music never seems to be dated because it’s so enjoyable. Why would I continue to work on something if it didn’t inspire people, as it does, from generation to generation? If you’re of the age of the songs, you remember where you were when they came out. If you are younger, you’ll hear words of poetry. Each song tells the story, and this is also the story of Fat Waller’s life. The story goes back to things in the old days that were shocking then, but are not these days,” Freeman said. She boasted about the “wonderful” all-local cast, which she said she was glad to choose with Ellenstein’s help. “For 20 or 30 years or more, this show has made people happy. They have fun and just love it, so that’s what we expect for audiences here, as well,” Freeman said. ■ IF YOU GO: “Ain’t Misbehavin’ — The Fats Waller Musical Show,” runs July 13-Aug. 7 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Cancer Moonshot Summit draws the experts
U
C San Diego Moores Cancer Center researchers spoke at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute’s Cancer Moonshot Summit on June 29 about where cancer research is today and what needs to happen next to drive new treatments forward. Among the speakers were Maria Elena Martinez, Ph.D., co-lead of the Moores Cancer Center’s Reducing Cancer Disparities research program and one of 28 distinguished members of the National Moonshot Initiative’s Blue Ribbon Panel, who said she is energized by Vice President Joe Biden’s “get it done” message and his focus on using a science-based direction to fund cancer research. In addition Scott Lippman, M.D., director of Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, facilitated a panel that included Ezra Cohen, M.D., associate director for translation science at Moores Cancer Center and immunotherapy expert. Cohen said immunotherapy isn’t the answer on its own, but is part of the cure for some cancers in which dramatic and durable responses are being seen.
FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 course, the visitors to our Village. Who or what inspires you? I am constantly amazed and impressed by the incredible programs developed and offered by the theaters and museums in Balboa Park. The largest urban cultural park in the United States, it represents an extraordinary landscape of art, theatre, science and history. I love the ambiance of the Park at night, with the beautiful lighting

and the backdrop of the majestic buildings, and am inspired with every visit to ensure this important community resource continues its cultural legacy. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would invite my late father D. Richard Olin as a young man, prior to his affliction with Multiple Sclerosis, who inspired my love of history and would enjoy sitting across the table from Teddy Roosevelt and
Ezra Cohen, M.D. talks with summitt attendees.
Winston Churchill. Katharine Hepburn would lend some verve to the evening, along with tales of adventure from Amelia Earhart and Mark Twain. My wonderful husband, Reid Abrams would be there, and finally, my gradschool roommate, the late Mary Gumble Levy, just for the pure joy of hearing the marvelous sound of her infectious laughter again. What are you reading? I have a few books that I’m reading right now, including “Clementine: The Life of Mrs. Winston Churchill,” whose author (Sonia Purnell) recently gave a fascinating lecture at The Timkin Art Museum. I just finished the third of the four Neapolitan books by Elena Ferrante and I just started “I Saw a Man,” by Owen Sheers, which promises to be gripping. I belong to two local book clubs, so I’m about to start “Circling the Sun,” by Paula McLain and “Nightingale,” by Kristin Hannah. What is it that you most dislike? I’m easily frustrated with people or businesses that make no effort to recycle and keep our world in the best possible condition for our grandchildren and future generations. I also just don’t understand anyone who thinks that there could be any possible valid reason for a private citizen to own an automatic weapon of the type that have recently killed and injured so many innocent people. What is your most-prized possession? One can never possess another person; so I would change this question to what do I value the most in this world? And the answer would be my three wonderful children. I’m so proud of their transformation into amazing young adults who care about making the world a better place.
COURTESY PHOTOS
What do you do for fun? I love to spend time with good friends, whether it’s a dinner at the beach, a long walk with a girlfriend, a night at The Old Globe or just chatting over a cup of coffee. I also love to greet spring and enjoy summer in the garden. As Alice Sebold quipped, “I like gardening — it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.” Whenever I can, I cherish the opportunity to spend time with my sweet grandson. What is your motto or philosophy of life? When one loses a dear friend you realize that life is precious and short. So take too many pictures, laugh every day, cherish your friends and family, care deeply, speak kindly, love generously, never give up, and be passionate about everything you do. Find a way — big or small — to contribute to the world and feel the joy of giving back. What would be your dream vacation? While I’m dreaming, I might as well design a well-rounded trip! I would take my entire family, including my darling 18-month old grandson, and make the first leg of our journey a stop at our favorite ranch in Colorado for a week of horseback riding in the mountains. Then we’d fly to New York for a stopover to see “Hamilton,” and one of The Old Globe or La Jolla Playhouse shows that are playing Broadway. Then we’d leave for the beaches of Bali for at least two weeks of rest, relaxation and water sports. We’d continue flying east until we landed reached the gorgeous San Juan Islands for a week of biking, hiking and kayaking. We’d plan to stop in Napa on the way home to join great friends and visit some special wineries together. Now I just need to convince my family to take this much time off!

What Profile? When Spider Veins Happen to Young People Spider veins—the bane of elderly women, or so the myth goes. But the truth is that anyone can get spider veins, including younger women and even men. So what are they, exactly? Spider veins aren’t quite the same thing as varicose veins, which are the more dilated and ropelike veins under the skin and which can be quite painful (and possibly harmful to the health if left untreated). Instead, spider veins, known as telangiectasias, are enlarged venules, which are the very small
veins and blood vessels. Fortunately, in most cases, spider veins are painless. There are many reasons people get spider veins—they are caused by increased pressure on the veins. As we age, our venous walls weaken and then blood can pool (the typical cause of varicose veins, for example). But what about in younger people? Most commonly, spider veins are associated with pregnancy, as the body undergoes a tremendous amount of pressure. But who else is at risk? Similarly, people who are obese are more prone to them as their blood vessels are also under greater pressure, as the body has to work hard to circulate the blood up from the feet and to the heart. But the truth is that perfectly healthy and even fit people can get these pesky veins. Young athletes are often prone to them, especially behind the knees, as their strenuous workouts will elevate the blood pressure, and their legs often take a pounding. Spider veins appear when the
body’s vascular system is under stress. The extra pressure in the veins makes them bulge and expand. In fact, even though they may be unsightly, they are quite normal. For some people, spider veins are genetic, which means nothing you can do can truly prevent them from occurring, and they can show up at any time. It’s part of your makeup. And if your parent had spider veins as a teenager, there is a good chance you will, too. The appearance of spider veins is not something that should worry you, and in general, there are no health risks associated. However, there are some very rare cases of genetic conditions that can cause spider veins to appear in multiple patches on the arms and torso, so if you spot these, have them checked out just to be safe. It’s always good to have any type of venous condition on your medical record, and you’ll always want to know of any genetic predisposition that can lead to something more harmful than a cluster of dark veins.
But you shouldn’t live in fear of spider veins; in most of the cases, they are completely benign. You should be aware, though, that they won’t go away on their own. To actually remove spider veins, you will need to undergo the very simple laser therapy. When treating spider veins with laser therapy, the laser damages the blood vessels, making them clot and dry up, at which point, they will get reabsorbed by your tissue. This non-invasive treatment can be done in the office on a very short lunch break, for instance, or after track practice or yoga class. This treatment is different from sclerotherapy, generally used for the treatment of varicose veins, which entails an injection of medicine directly into the blood vessel.

COURTESY
The USGS created an online tool at marine.usgs.gov that allows anyone to interactively ‘see’ past, present and future hazards and changes along the coasts — the USGS Coastal Change Hazards Portal.
6 cool things scientists are up to underwater BY JESSICA FITZPATRICK Around 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is ocean, and almost half of the American population lives in coastal counties. Each and every day, waves move sand back and forth, onto and away from beaches. The thin ribbon of sandy barrier islands and beaches along America’s coastline shifts constantly, especially during hurricanes, nor’easters and other extreme storms. Understanding these environments and forecasting conditions into the future will help protect millions of citizens who are at risk from changing sea level, retreating shorelines and extreme coastal storms. There is also a need to balance competing demands of our ocean’s resources — from energy exploration to recreation and critical habitats — while protecting and preserving a healthy environment. In order to plan, it’s vital for managers and decision-makers to know what they are planning for, and United States Geological Society (USGS) science underpins those choices. The USGS provides diverse science allowing for a big-picture perspective and ensuring that decisions are made with as much knowledge as possible. Six cool things scientists are up to are: 1. Defining U.S. Boundaries: International law affords every coastal nation sovereign rights over its continental shelf out to 200 nautical miles from shore. These rights include control over minerals, petroleum and sedentary organisms such as clams, crabs and coral. If certain physical criteria are met, a nation is entitled to the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, an area referred to as the “extended continental shelf” or ECS. The USGS is analyzing geologic and geophysical data collected over the past 7 years to determine the nation’s ECS, and preliminary research indicates it could total one million square kilometers. 2. Exploring Energy and Mineral Resources: USGS conducts research studies focused on geologic mapping, sampling and understanding of mineral and energy resources. In addition, USGS scientists are researching the geologic setting and processes to inform renewable energy development offshore. 3. Protecting Critical Habitats: Human activities can impact or degrade the health and productivity of coastal and marine ecosystems by fragmenting habitats, altering drainage or circulation patterns and introducing contaminants. USGS scientists are studying how these ecosystems function and respond to environmental changes and human impacts. 4. Identifying Hazards and Vulnerable Communities: Research includes earthquakes and underwater landslides, as well as their potential to cause a tsunami. Scientists provide a range of assistance regarding oil and gas spills, such as tracking the movement of residual oil, determining mortalities in wildlife, modeling how tidal waves and currents will carry oil over barrier islands and collecting samples to study toxicity to soils and water. 5. Documenting How the Coast Changes: Powerful storms generate surge, waves and currents that can move large amounts of sediment, destroy roads, buildings and other critical infrastructure as well as alter natural habitats. The USGS performs a range of studies that document, assess and model coastal change, risk and vulnerability. 6. Balancing Competing Demands: Marine planning is a process for identifying areas most suitable for various activities in order to avoid conflicts, facilitate compatible uses and reduce environmental impacts. There are several agencies working together to make cost-benefit decisions, with the ultimate goal of preserving the values while maximizing the benefits of the ocean.
