Things may be getting back to normal says president BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON n recent years, the La Jolla Cove beach and waters have become a hotbed of community contention due to problems stemming from the burgeoning sea lion population there. La Jollans have sat through dozens of committee hearings, four “Crisis at The Cove” Town Council forums, and plowed through a 91-page City report on how to best handle the health and safety issues the sea lions have caused.
I
SPECIAL REPORT But through it all, La Jolla Cove Swim Club members continued to peacefully come together for informal swims, social gatherings, camaraderie and a collective appreciation for open-ocean swimming. There are currently more than 1,300 active members (primarily from San Diego County), and nearly 2,300 followers on Facebook.
“The Cove is unique and that’s why we want to protect the ability to recreate there,” said Swim Club president Dan Simonelli. “There is nowhere else in San Diego where you can jump into the water and see an abundance of marine life, and that is relatively safe in terms of swimming in the open ocean. There are no huge waves like at a beach and the waters are clear. There are caves to explore and there is a lot to experience. It’s special that way.” SEE COVE SWIM CLUB, A4
Aircraft noise monitored in La Jolla since Oct. 2016 Threats lead Harbor Police to cover ANAC meetings BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN At the July 19 meeting of the Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) subcommittee in Liberty Station, Airport Authority staff revealed that air noise monitoring had been underway in the areas of Bird Rock and Soledad Mountain
before and after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Metroplex flight paths changes for San Diego Airport were implemented in November 2016 and March 2017. The announcement took members of the subcommittee by surprise, considering the FAA previously reported there were no changes in November 2016. Chris McCann, the La Jolla representative and creator of the Airnoise app, questioned Airport
Planning & Noise Mitigation program manager Sjohnna Knack about the testing. Knack explained that, “we had increasing concerns, similar to the concerns we got two years ago when Point Loma (noise problems) were first raised. We placed noise monitors in the areas that received the most complaints.” She said the locations for testing in La Jolla were Calumet Park in Bird Rock and just
east of Mount Soledad under the arrival flight path — both are places where air noise complaints began and have skyrocketed since November 2016. “We did two short-term monitoring (sessions) where we looked at single events and then we did long-term monitoring (sessions) that lasted two weeks,” she added. But McCann pressed, “The SEE AIRCRAFT NOISE, A25

Mermaid mural planned to honor the late Anne Cleveland Paddle-Out for Cleveland ■ A celebration of life and swim-out/paddle-out is scheduled for 11 a.m. Sunday, July 30 from WindanSea Beach. Those who wish to participate are encouraged to meet at the end of Nautilus Street.

Trustee Gail Forbes eulogizes swimmer and community advocate Anne Cleveland, during the July 13 La Jolla Town Council meeting at the Rec Center.
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON To memorialize record-setting swimmer and La Jolla resident Anne Cleveland, who passed away June 24 at age 61 from pancreatic cancer, a mermaid mosaic is being planned for installation along the stairs at La Jolla Cove. Funding is being sought and the mermaid should go up in the next few months. At the July 13 La Jolla Town Council meeting, Cleveland was eulogized and the project was announced. “Because she was such a town icon and amazing swimmer … a small group of us would like to do something to honor Anne and beautify the community. She swam at The Cove a lot, so we’d like to capture her spirit by a mosaic mermaid. We want to incorporate a mermaid and possibly a positive saying to recognize Ann and the life she lived,” said Pat Robbins. Bird Rock artist Jane Wheeler has reportedly agreed to design the mural and when it’s complete, the community will be able to contribute a piece to the mosaic. “Our funding is pretty good, we think we’ll be able to cover it. But it will take a couple of months,” said Robbins. Those who wish to donate to the project can visit: gofundme.com/anne-cleveland-mosaic-mermaid Cleveland grew up in La Jolla and was on the La Jolla High School swim team before there was a women’s team. “She swam with the boys,” said friend and La Jolla Town Council trustee Gail Forbes. “Anne participated in the La Jolla Rough Water Swim and trained at La Jolla Cove and up and down the coast. She swam to Catalina in 1999. In 2001, she completed the Channel Island swim in 10 hours, 15 minutes. She went to the English Channel in 2002 and swam the 21 cold miles in 12 hours, 13 minutes. She had great perseverance. In 2004, she became the oldest person (at age 48), to complete a double-swim: she went to English Channel, landed in France and swam back.” Forbes noted Cleveland’s civic activities as well. She was president of La Jolla Town Council in 2007-2008. “She balanced a difficult time in La Jolla, when there were arguments about pretty much everything: the name of the La Jolla Christmas Parade, paid parking in The Village, three-story height limits and she managed to bring our community through with a great deal of understanding, sympathy and humility,” she said. Current La Jolla Town Council president Ann Kerr Bache added, “She was a world famous swimmer … a wonderful personality and her passing is a loss to the community.” Cleveland will reportedly be recognized at a San Diego City Council. District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry’s field representative Mauricio Medina said the date would be announced through Bry’s social media.

FROM COVE SWIM CLUB, A1 The La Jolla Cove Swim Club is a social group that meets monthly for friendly gatherings (such as Sunday picnics, barbecues, parties and a banquet in December) that are often punctuated by quick ocean dips or lengthier swims. There are also special events throughout the year, like the Polar Bear Plunge on the first day of each new year, the Pier to Cove Swim that took place June 24, and the 10-Mile Relay in September that benefits the American Diabetes Association, San Diego Junior Lifeguard Foundation and La Jolla Cove Swim Club. The Club was formally incorporated as a 501(c)7 — non-profit social and recreation clubs — in 1993, but was an informal club for years before that. The dues are $20 a year, and “purposely low” to keep enrollment open year-round. Simonelli said there are new members signing up every month. Seven-year member Craig Johnston, who has been a competitive swimmer for most of his life, said the members of the Club tend to be cut from a different cloth. “We have people from all walks of life here — engineers, attorneys, teachers — people who do everything. The Club brings these people together. Among them, you feel that common bond of being an ocean swimmer and knowing the other person is different, like you.”
A place of peace La Jolla Cove Swim Club members tout the ‘freedom’ and ‘peace’ of swimming at The Cove.

in other places, and many were introduced to La Jolla Cove by a friend or loved one, making the landmark that much more special. Simonelli, who joined the Club in 2009, said there is an “energy” to the ocean and a “freedom” to being out there. “I’d swim in the ocean as a lifeguard, and I was in the U.S. Marine Corps and stationed at Camp Pendleton. I swam quite a bit in my younger days, too, but then with work and raising a family, I wasn’t doing it as much,” he said. “When my oldest daughter joined Junior Lifeguards, it motivated me to get back in the water. I had a friend who’d swim at The Cove and I followed him and started meeting other swimmers.” After he joined the club, Simonelli began to volunteer and got more involved, before becoming president. Johnston said he joined because “all my friends were members and I’d been swimming here since the mid-90s,” adding that he appreciates “the sea life” found at The Cove. “It’s incredible what you see out there — turtles, sharks, dolphins, fish, it goes on and on. And the conditions change all the time; one day it will be completely flat and a few hours later, a swell will come in, so it’s a different thing every day.” Member Mark James said a girlfriend was a club member and brought him to The Cove for a swim, and he’s been hooked ever since. “There are no walls in the ocean. There is a freedom to it that you will never find in a pool. (What makes The Cove unique is) there are no boats, there is a corridor for swimmers, and that is huge.” Zana Kerr, who’s been a member for two years, said she was a member of another
“
The smell was the biggest change with the introduction of the sea lions. I like a small amount of them around because they are playful, but when there are so many, like there were a few years ago, it was horrible.
”
— Mark James La Jolla Cove Swim Club member swim club, but when a friend introduced her to the La Jolla Cove Swim Club, she never looked back. “When I first started here, I would swim out a little bit and get intimidated and swim back. But knowing I can pair up with another member and go for a swim farther out is great. With a group, I made it to the half-mile buoy for the first time,” she said. “I used to SCUBA dive but I can’t anymore because of an issue with my ears. I get a similar experience swimming through The Cove because I get to see the sea life,
and on a really clear day, you can see so much. It’s always interesting. When I get out there, I can just float and enjoy that peace and quiet — there are no phones, no drama. It’s my peaceful time.” But around the time that Kerr joined the Club, the sea lion population was growing with sea lions hauling out by the hundreds onto the bluffs and the beach.
Changing times Simonelli said the sea lion population
really started to grow and become “problematic” in 2015. “It pushed some of our swimmers to The Shores or they stopped all together. It killed the community. It was killing the social and recreation opportunities. “At that time, we didn’t know what the future held and we thought it was an end of an era.” He said there was a decrease in event participation and membership enrollment. “We had some events where the only people there were the volunteers.” However, swimmers like Kerr still took a chance on The Cove. “The sea lion population didn’t seem that bad when I first joined, but it got worse really quickly. It smelled bad and … last year I moved over to The Shores. I get sinus infections and I heard people were getting sick and, obviously, I didn’t want to get sick, so I moved,” she said. Similarly, James said he started swimming at The Shores when the sea lion issues were at their worst. “The smell was the biggest change with the introduction of the sea lions. I like a small amount of them around because they are playful, but when there are so many, like there were a few years ago, it was horrible,” he said. The sea lions have recently begun migrating to other smaller beaches surrounding The Cove and according to the Heal the Bay Beach Report Card for the last 30 days, The Cove water quality is at an A+ (from a D grade in summer 2016). Simonelli predicts things may be getting back to normal. “There are crowds swimming, the water is warm, so it’s bustling again.” ■ On the Web: lajollacoveswimclub.com

The future home of Ways & Means Oyster House at 1251 Prospect St.
LIGHT FILE
A lobster roll and oyster offering that will be available at Ways & Means Oyster House.
Seafood eatery, cafés and more open in La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Next spring, in the restaurant space at 1251 Prospect St. that formerly housed Alfonso’s, a new seafood eatery is coming to The Village: Ways & Means Oyster House. On the menu will be sustainably-sourced seafood and craft cocktails. In addition to oysters, the restaurant will serve small plates (starting at $4) to encourage diners to create their own tasting menu. There are currently locations in
Huntington Beach and Portland, Oregon and a dozen more are in the process of opening. According to press material, the restaurant was created in the tradition of world-class oyster bars around the world, boasting fresh seafood and seasonal dishes. Ways & Means has developed a collection of private label products, including oysters, wine, rum and beer to create an extensive cocktail menu. “Our focus is to be more than just a
restaurant to our guests; we aspire to be a part of their lifestyle. Ways & Means celebrates community and quality seafood and we are very excited to introduce this concept to La Jolla,” said VP of Operations, Dan Schneider. In other locations, a fan favorite is the Lobster Monday special, where whole Maine lobsters are sold for $9.99. Further, signature menu items include the Lobster Mac & Cheese, Chowder Fries, Jerk Seared Salmon
Bowl, the W&M East and West Oysters, and the W&M Lobster Roll, with “hearty chunks of pure Maine lobster claw meat, shredded cabbage, red bell peppers, and red onions, tossed in a house-made ‘life-altering’ aioli.” wmoysters.com

FROM BUSINESS ROUNDUP, A6 and own the nearby Juice Crafters bar, opened in July 6 at 927 Silverado St. in The Village. Business hours are 6 a.m. (the kitchen opens at 8 a.m.) to 7 p.m. daily to sling high quality coffee, beer and wine, and a full organic food menu. “We have the same menu all day because we want to provide a space where you can come in any time and get whatever you want,” said co-owner Carol Goldwasser. “The food is pretty delicious. We’re trying to give people high-quality food and educate the community that healthy food can taste good.” Popular items thus far include the avocado toast, overnight oats and zucchini noodle salad. The coffee program features beans from multiple roasters (international and local) and the Cafe has its own blend called Birds of a Feather. Continuing on the bird theme, Goldwasser said there is wallpaper with parakeets on it, along with other colorful decor. “Our wallpaper is amazing. We incorporated fun elements into the design. It’s a beautiful, cozy environment,” she said. A bakery is forthcoming with gluten-free options, and Goldwasser said the idea came from Juice Crafters’ patrons. “Customers suggested we branch out and serve food and hot drinks, and we love being here, so when a space opened up we took that step,” she said. “We think it was serendipitous.” ■ Cooper’s Coffee House opened in La Jolla Shores this summer to take over for the Shore Thing Café at 8080 La Jolla Shores Drive. It offers breakfast and lunch options for dine-in or take out. The eatery, which has a dog-friendly patio, serves bowls, bagels and

California Body Sculpt
With the motto “All women are beautiful,” the women-owned California Body Sculpt opened in January at 7855 Fay Ave. (a Mission Valley location opened in June). The non-surgical, infrared light-based fat removing laser lipo machine known as infraSCULPT was created by Bryche Abawi. “My passion for infrared light started when I designed, manufactured and distributed infrared saunas and grew it into a successful business to help make a difference in people’s health,” Abawi said. “I thought it was so interesting that this red light could also reach those hard-to-target fat areas on the body, too.” The process features three steps: first, infraSCULPT is used on specific areas of the body chosen by the client, typically stomach or thighs, where the infrared rays penetrate the fat cells; the second phase stimulates the lymphatic system with whole-body vibration; lastly, the client sits in an infrared sauna to sweat out the fatty toxins. Treatments start at $195. Following the treatments, Abawi advocates for a continued exercise program to keep the fat from coming back. (858) 412-3362. californiabodysculpt.com
Co-mmunity: Shared space
Co-mmunity, a “creative co-working space” and learning center for attorneys, opened at 7580 Fay Ave., Suite 204 to provide workshops and resources for “progressive thinking lawyers” as well as a rentable workspace for professionals. The center features yoga and meditation, video and podcast studio, classrooms and more. The facility also offers an event space, meeting rooms and address/mailbox services. Jacob Sapochnick said, “We want our lawyers to be able to focus on their law practices and their services, not all the tedious stuff that comes along with building a practice. We should be taking care of that for them, not just offering desks and coffee. We also want to teach them the art of giving back and building a sustainable business.” co-mmunity.com

Permitters approve zoning proposal, new residence project
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN At the July 18 Development Permit Review committee (DPR) meeting permitters endorsed a proposal by several La Jolla residents to add a new path for development in La Jolla, killing the “50 percent” exemption that some builders use to bypass the costly and time-consuming community review process. “We want to report back to you about what we’ve done,” said trustee Diane Kane, a member of the group behind the proposal. Added group leader Sharon Wampler, “Since we last presented here, we’ve made presentations to the La Jolla Shores Association, La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee and La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance Advisory Board.” Most of the presentations were information-only, meaning the groups couldn’t make a decision to endorse the proposal, but she was excited to share the Shores Planned District Ordinance board voted to support the plans. The Incentive-Based Zoning for Coastal
FOR SALE
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
A roomful of residents attend DPR’s July 18 meeting to hear about various projects. Development proposal intends to provide an alternative for builders and homeowners who, by abiding by a certain criteria and rules, can avoid the Coastal Development Permit process altogether and obtain an over-the-counter permit from the City. The effort started two years ago when Bird Rock neighbors were trying to find a solution to the “mansionization” process they claimed was happening in the area (homes out-of-scale and too large for their lots). The plan proposes to adhere to a more conservative definition of gross floor area, a parameter used to calculate the Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The Municipal Code observes certain limits to the FAR depending on the size of a lot, but many developers have found ways around the rule, maximizing the
size of the houses — and accelerating the “mansionization” of residential neighborhoods. Of this more conservative FAR definition, the proposal intends to subtract .2 (FARs in La Jolla usually range from .4 to .6) from the given number, and then allow architects to gain those FAR points back by complying with different lines on a checklist. Features such as greater setbacks, mass breaking by stepping back second stories and articulating the front façade of a building are included on the list. “This is not written in stone, this is a working document. Once it gets to the City, it needs revisions, but at least we can start the conversation,” Wampler cautioned. The conversation meandered around topics such
as whether La Jolla Shores — an area with a different layer of rules and known for its subjectivity — is to be included. “We are trying to figure out how the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance would work with this,” she added. A motion to “recommend the latest iteration of the Incentive-Based Zoning for Coastal Development proposal for the residential-based zone portions of La Jolla with a recommendation to presenters to define by what mechanism the process is going to come back to LJCPA (La Jolla Community Planning Association)” passed 7-0-1. The proposal will be heard next at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 3 during the LJCPA meeting at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.
Megdal residence
A project to construct a 4,670-square-foot single dwelling unit with attached 527-square-foot garage at 6003 Vista De La Mesa received unanimous approval from DPR committee members. To design it, architect Tim Golba, a member of the Incentive-Based Zoning for Coastal Development, admitted to have applied the proposed “checklist” to his project. Kane said, “To address the question of what would we be giving City staff to check over the counter, this is the sort of product we could expect.” Though DPR trustees seemed satisfied with the project, area neighbors attended the SEE PERMITTERS, A14

The Megdal Residence plans call for a two-story home at a 0.22-acre site at 6003 Vista De La Mesa.
Architect Joshua Wood explains design features of the 5626 Dolphin Place plan, which include the U-shape second story that neighbors fear will block their ocean views.
FROM PERMITTERS, A12
construct in its place a two-story-over-basement house at 5626 Dolphin Place, trailed from the previous DPR meeting, was tabled to present for the third time at the Aug. 8 DPR meeting. Plans call for a 2,400-square-foot house with a 1,236-square-foot basement and a 475-square-foot garage, totaling 4,110 square feet of constructed area on a 0.11-acre site. The design features a U-shaped element on the second story, white stucco walls with glass elements and wood touches. In his first presentation at the July 11 meeting, architect Joshua Wood faced criticism from a neighbor to east, whose ocean views would be diminished. “We did lower the upper floor by six inches. Any more than that and it starts to detrimentally affect this property’s view, and we put our
meeting to ask questions and include comments on the record. Resident Gloria Shattil criticized Golba for starting his project at an existing higher elevation (the current single-family residence on the lot sits atop a pedestal) and she commented, “The neighborhood has a certain atmosphere, and that’s not in keeping with it. It has a lot of historic houses … that house looks a little bit like a recreation center.” Golba replied that the “rec center look” would be prevented because the frontyard pool would be elevated and invisible from the street.
Two condo conversions
Committee members approved two
projects to convert existing rental units on one lot into condominium properties at 7209-7211 La Jolla Blvd. and 654-656 Rosemont St. — presented by two different applicants, Beth Reiter and Rob Bateman respectively. The applicants discussed the board members’ questions asked in previous presentations. The La Jolla Boulevard project faced some opposition for the relocation and detachment of an existing carport (which will be turned into a garage) and the construction of an outdoor staircase. Finally, both projects garnered enough “yay” votes to advance to LJCPA.
Hardiman residence
A project to demolish an existing single-family, one-story cottage and
roof line in the back in the view of our neighbor,” Woods explained. La Jolla resident Phil Merten, representing seven neighbors, gave a presentation highlighting areas where he thought Wood had miscalculations, such as the gross floor area of the structure, the length of the driveway and the number of parking spaces provided. Wood defended his plans saying “(We) will have to agree to disagree.” Chair Mike Costello suggested Wood come back at a later meeting to show his calculations are on the mark, or correcting any errors. — La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee next meets 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 8 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. bit.ly/LaJollaAgendas

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The 31st annual La Jolla Music Society SummerFest series promises to take concert-goers around the world without leaving La Jolla, Aug. 2-25. It features more than a dozen concerts, 23 artist debuts and two premieres that will showcase music from other countries at venues such as UC San Diego Department of Music’s Conrad Prebys Concert Hall and Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, as well as community events in The Village. Single concert tickets are $45-$75 and festival subscriptions are $450-$865. Cho-Liang Lin returns as musical director, but SummerFest 2017 will be the first with Kristin Lancino at the helm of La Jolla Music Society as president and artistic director. Of the annual concert series, Lancino said, “La Jolla Music Society SummerFest is a must-go, must-hear concert event in an intimate setting, with some of the finest international performers and performances. It’s an extraordinary collection of artists you aren’t going to hear anywhere else and one of the leading summer events in the country.” While she does not have a favorite concert or event to single out, Lancino said she is amazed at the loyal following the chamber (un-conducted) music series has. “There will be some in the audience who save their August evenings to come to all the performances and immerse themselves in
great music.” Lancino added the concert repertoire is chosen first, and the musicians that could best perform the works are sought out. The series opens with “Fiddles vs. Pianos,” 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4 at the UC San Diego Music Department’s Conrad Prebys Concert Hall on the UC San Diego campus, on Russell Lane. Considered a showcase of “musical fireworks and spectacular artistry,” the concert features violinists Cho-Liang Lin, David Chan, Ray Ushikubo and Chee-Yun; pianists Inon Barnatan, Scott Cueller and Olga Kern; and duo piano sensations Christina and Michelle Naughton. Tickets start at $50. Concerts that showcase other countries include “From Prague with Love,” 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5; “Genius from Finland: Olli Mustonen,” 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 6; and “In the Heart of Hungary,” 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 8. Each of these concerts take place at UC San Diego Music Department’s Conrad Prebys Concert Hall. Tickets for each of these start at $45. As in past years, there will be a multi-concert showcase on the work of a particular composer (past highlights include Bach’s cello series and three shows on Shotakovich). In this case, the spotlight is on Beethoven in a four-concert salute to his violin sonatas, Aug. 15-18. Performers include violinist Cho-Liang Lin and pianist Jon Kimura Parker, with pre-concert lecture (Aug. 15); violinist

With the exception of the Aug. 17 concert, which is free, these shows start at $45. Other free community-oriented events include the SummerFest kick-off, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 2 (after which La La Land will play on a large screen) in Scripps Park; “Musical Encounter: Stravinsky meets Tan Dun,” 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 10 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St.; and the SummerFest Encounter “Forging a Concert Career: Making it as a Professional Wind Player in the 21st Century,” 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.

The series closes with the Finale with David Zinman, touted as “An all-star SummerFest Chamber Orchestra featuring principal musicians from the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others, is led by American conductor, David Zinman, whose career has embodied the style-spanning virtuosity and propulsive energy that is characteristic of our country’s artistic trademark.” The show starts 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25 at Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, 5775 Morehouse Drive. This will be the first year SummerFest concerts will be held at various venues. In past years, the concert series was held at Sherwood Auditorium at the Music of Contemporary Art San Diego, which is currently under construction. The La Jolla Music Society’s new home, the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, is being built and is expected to open in spring 2019.

Mathematician calculates the ‘sweet spot’ of a wave BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN ike all surfers, Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) post-doctoral student Nick Pizzo has been looking for the perfect spot on a wave since he started surfing at age 15. His research paper “Surfing Surface Gravity Waves,” published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics June 16, defines that “sweet spot” in mathematical terms. The study explains “which particles on a wave are going to accelerate, and when they do, how fast they’re going to go,” Pizzo said. “As surfers know, the sweet spot is in the curl. It’s right underneath the lip of a breaking wave. “These things are obvious to surfers, but the intent of the study is not to show things that are obvious to surfers, it’s kind of cool that there’s something people can fundamentally understand, but the idea (of the study) was to understand the currents that are generated by these breaking waves,” he explained. What he loves about surfing is finding that high speed. “That’s the best part for sure,” he told La Jolla Light. “It’s because it’s that sweet spot, same thing when you’re getting barreled. That’s why it’s so exciting to be there, you have these huge accelerations that happen in the barrel.” Pizzo completed his Ph.D. in 2015 at SIO, where he has been studying the physics of the ocean. “We want to better understand how
L
the ocean and the atmosphere talk to each other,” he explained. “The way that they do it, is kind of the game of telephone with a little kid in the middle, which is the wave field. The wave field controls how the atmosphere and the ocean actually interact, which is something we care about a lot because we need to understand the dynamics of what’s happening to those waves, to understand how the atmosphere and ocean are in fact talking to each other.” But blending his two passions wasn’t always his goal. “I was down in Brazil doing research in kind of technical areas of math, and I was kind of like, ‘I like this, but I’m not super good at this.’ It was kind of hard. So I said, ‘I want to do something a little bit more applied.’ So somebody mentioned, ‘You should check out

SIO post-doctoral student Nick Pizzo cathing waves at a surf session July 18 near Scripps Pier. Scripps (Institution of Oceanography).’ I’d never heard of it. I went online, checked out some of what people were doing here and I was like, ‘This looks fun.’ So I came here and decided that waves would be fun to study, also because of some of the science behind them.” A native of New York, Pizzo first got hooked on surfing while searching for waves in hurricane swells. “And then I kind of just did nothing else for 10 years straight. I took a year off to travel just to surf. I surf here (in La Jolla) every day the waves are good, but it’s not as much of my life as it used to be,” he confessed. Rather than trying to be a pro surfer, Pizzo concentrates on the fun of surfing. Two years ago, he said, he dumped his shortboard to ride a 7-foot 4-inch Christenson. “It’s been so liberating, you just go fast. I’ve ridden that in big Black’s Beach (surf), or two-foot Scripps’ waves, and it seems to go good in everything,” he said.
What’s in a Wave
“I teach graduate students, and I tell them, waves don’t propagate mass, they propagate energy,” Pizzo said. “A wave in general is anything that has a structure that propagates, so it’s a really abstract term. A wave can be a lot of things that you don’t think about as being waves. Basically, everything is a wave, we’re talking right now (and we’re producing) waves, we’re disturbing the air. We’re seeing things, these are light waves. It’s how your ear drum works, too, it’s like a little drum and the waves hit it. There’s plenty of examples. What we say in math is that, any kind of structure that’s coming in that we can follow, is something we call a wave.” He said his favorite ocean wave is “Winky Pop,” a break near Bell’s Beach in Australia, one of the most famous surfing spots in the world and a common stop of the Surf World Tour. “It’s a long right hand point over a reef, and you can almost draw a ruler on how straight the lip line is, and it’s

super fun!” he related. “There are waves out here (in San Diego) that get quite big. Imperial Beach (before the sand replenishment) was really good one year, spinning barrels for a whole couple of months. When there’s a swell down in Coronado there are some pretty cool ones down there, it was fun to see those beaches light up like that. Black’s, when it’s big, it’s always pretty epic and terrifying,” he added. But for Pizzo, surf is not only about speed. It’s also about life lessons. “I grew up in the water. I sailed and my older brother is a sailing coach. Being close to the water is pretty important to me. Surfing teaches you pretty explicit lessons all the time — like patience, humility — whether or not you listen to the lessons is probably a different story, but it seems like every time you go out at Black’s Beach when the waves are over 6-feet, you learn something. Even if you didn’t want to learn a lesson that day, you do. It’s a little bit humbling.”

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Meet La Jolla Lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: Welcome to La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series, which shines a spotlight on 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. If you know someone you’d like us to profile, send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call us at (858) 875-5950.
the rip currents. People not understanding what a rip current is, which is basically a river pulling out to sea. If you swim against the river, you’re going to get tired, and you’re going to end up giving up. Swimming to the banks of the river is what we want to educate people about. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that well, so the ocean takes people at times, but we do everything we can to prevent that. There’s a lot of hazards around, one of the big things over the years has been an increase in cliff rescues. People are accidentally falling from cliffs, or they’re going on false trails or whatever.”
O
f La Jolla Lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky, his colleagues say he’s one of the few in his position who still works out and makes sure he’s in the physical shape required to make rescues and complete all levels of a lifeguard’s job. This local fixture on the beach scene surprises you every time with his kind demeanor and profound words. He’s been in charge of the lifeguards in the 92037 ZIP code for four years.
How do you handle the shark craze?
Where are you from?
“I was born in San Gabriel Valley, California, so I grew up traveling around in Pasadena, Arcadia and that area, and then after two years of junior college, I moved to San Diego in 1985, and I’ve been here ever since.”
Did you go to college here?
“Yes, I got my Associate’s degree at Mount San Antonio College, and I came to San Diego State to study journalism with a concentration in public relations, and I minored in economics. (Having studied journalism) it’s a plague, because even as a seasonal lifeguard, they used to call me and this other guy ‘The Grammar Police.’ We would go around correcting people all the time, and lifeguards aren’t always well written (laughs).”
What made you become a lifeguard?
“I’ve always had a passion for the water. I grew up surfing in Newport and Huntington Beaches, and everything about the ocean — scuba diving, swimming, sailing — it’s just a passion. That, combined with wanting to help people and be there when people are in need, it’s such a blessing to be in a position like that. I started as a seasonal and ended up being promoted to permanent, 12 years later, and during my seasonal years, after I graduated from college, I started to travel the world and I ended up moving to Taiwan, where I lived for eight years.”
How was Taiwan?
“It was fantastic, it’s such a great place, people are so friendly and warm. I had people interrupt me when having dinner, say, ‘Are you from America?’ They wanted to speak English. They would offer to buy dinners for you out of nowhere, they are really welcoming, really friendly, and the food is insane. There’s a lot of great things about Taiwan. I would be here in the summer working as a seasonal and then going to Taiwan in the winter and then on each end just tagging
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
San Diego Lifeguard Service Lieutenant Rich Stropky has been on the job for 30 years. along a lot of traveling, different countries, surfing, scuba diving. I traveled everywhere from Russia to the South Pacific, Asia … great opportunity during that time. Seasonal years are very flexible as a lifeguard, so I always encourage people to take advantage of it, because it takes a little while to become competitive for the lifeguarding side, you could be a seasonal for five to 10 years potentially before a permanent position opens, so you have to take advantage of it, that’s what I try to tell people.”
What do you do for fun?
“Well, I work for fun (laughs). I mean, kind of, I just love my job. I love coming in to work, but for fun outside of this, anything in the ocean, I love motorcycles, I’m passionate about that, and anything in the mountains, skiing, I’m open to just about anything new and different.”
What motorcycle do you have?
“I have a KTM 1190, it’s an adventure bike. I’ve taken it to 12 or 14 states so far, and I’ve had this bike for one year, and I have 16,000 miles on it already. I’ve been exploring and it’s a lot of fun.”
Are you married, kids?
“I’m married. I have my wonderful wife, Kirsten, and two kids, a 13-year-old boy, Jake, and an 11-year-old girl, Taylor.”
Where do you live?
“We live currently in Rancho Peñasquitos; my wife and I lived here in La Jolla for quite a while on Cabrillo Avenue, until we decided that we were going to buy a house, and that wasn’t happening in La Jolla (laughs). We love it out there, it’s nice, but eventually some time will be back more coastal.”
Tell me about your surfing. Were you ever a pro?
“I’m definitely not of that caliber, just for fun. My first trip out of the United States was the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti. And I actually went and lifeguarded on the coast and surfed all over the place. Those were the days, just getting out there and that’s what it was all about: surfing.”
How has La Jolla changed?
“There are challenges on the lifeguard side at times because it gets crowded, and it seems like it’s gotten a lot more crowded over the years. Surf camps are generating a lot of interest in surfing, and the scuba divers, well, La Jolla’s a great place to do it. There’s a lot of great things here, so people just keep coming.”
What are some of the challenges of lifeguarding? “The biggest killer out there is going to be
“That’s an interesting topic right now, because there have been a lot of sightings in other places. Obviously, we have a lot of sightings around, thank goodness no aggressive behavior. A couple years back, we had the hammerheads drawn in by fishermen; the fish they had were bleeding, which is what attracted the sharks, and so the fishermen paddled back to shore. Not a good thing to do, so that was an education thing. Hey, clean your fish way out there, don’t come trolling in with bloody fish. But lately, no serious shark sightings of aggressive behavior or anything out of the ordinary, especially considering how many sea lions and seals live in the area. If people ask, ‘are there sharks out there?’ absolutely. I mean, we know they live out there. But looking back at history, there’s really not that much of a threat around that. The sharks history in the lifeguard service is that they’re not something that has created a problem, I know North County has had some bad experiences with that.”
What’s your hope for the future?
“My family is the most important thing in my life, so my hope is that my kids grow up to be healthy and happy — and I extend that to everybody. I wish for people to be a little less busy and little more real.”
What’s something people don’t know about you?
“People are kind of surprised when they find out that I’m fluent in Mandarin Chinese.”
What do you dislike about your job?
“That’s a tough question to answer. I think what I dislike most job is when bad things happen to people. I’ve been a member of the dive team since 2000, and our job with that is, we do rescues, but most often than not it’s recovery. The ocean is big and we’re looking for a needle in a haystack a lot of the time. But that aspect of my job is so important, to be there for the families, to bring closure. And it’s also hard because it takes a lot out of us ... you feel the pain of the family. It’s hard but rewarding to know you can make the worst moment in somebody’s life a little better by the compassion that we have and doing everything we possibly can.”

Three Girl Scouts from La Jolla received their Gold Awards (the highest honor bestowed for a sustainable act of service) during an award ceremony June 17. La Jolla High School students Nora Joyce, Aurora de Tagyos and Maia Hayden were recognized for their projects, designed to “take action” and demonstrate leadership when girls address the root cause of an issue; build and oversee a volunteer team; meet measurable goals; and change people’s beliefs, attitudes, assumptions and behavior. According to Girl Scout reports, here is a summary of each girl’s projects: “Backyard Bounty” by Aurora de Tagyos: “After noticing that fruit from trees in my neighborhood was going to waste, I organized and trained a team to harvest excess food from area gardens. We gleaned 1,200 servings of fresh produce to donate to struggling families.” “Self-Defense for Women” by Maia Hayden: “As a first-degree black belt and lifelong martial arts student, I am passionate about self-defense. I held classes for young women in high school and college, as well as women who have experience with assault, and made a video demonstrating basic moves.” “Leadership Through Lacrosse” by Nora Joyce: “The Preuss School, which serves students from lower income families, didn’t have middle school or junior varsity lacrosse teams.

Elementary school gets $9,600 Monsanto grant Torrey Pines Elementary School Foundation (TPESF) received a $9,600 grant from the Monsanto San Diego Research Facility to expand and enrich its garden
program to deepen student understanding of the life sciences. Specifically, funds will be used to integrate a garden science curriculum for all grade levels, provide opportunities for individual student experiments, and expand and maintain the current garden infrastructure including raised beds and the greenhouse. “This grant is critical for the continued growth and success of our Science in the Garden Program. Under the leadership of parent William Jenkins, Ph.D., and science teacher Cathy Isom, our program combines elements of basic science, innovative technology, and critical thinking that are essential to developing the leaders who will be tasked to solve the challenges facing our planet,” said Neha Bahadur, M.D., TPESF past-president. TPESF previously received a Monsanto Fund site grant in 2016. These initial funds helped to solidify the infrastructure of the Science in the Garden program by supporting teacher training and curriculum development, science supplies including a digital microscope, and a large greenhouse and planting beds.

Three female professors sue Salk Institute for gender discrimination The three sole female full professors at Salk Institute, the highest possible rank for faculty members, are suing the research center in two different lawsuits for allegedly giving preference to men in pay, promotion, grant funding and leadership positions. Salk biologists Vicki Lundblad and Katherine Jones announced their legal action earlier this month. As a response, Salk officials rejected the claims and asserted that both scientists trailed their peers in their work. Then, Beverly Emerson, a prominent biochemist who studies how genes contribute to disease, filed a second lawsuit against what she describes as an “antiquated boys’ club.” Nobel Laureate Elisabeth Blackburn, president of the Salk Institute, wrote in a statement: “I would never preside over an organization that in any way condones, openly or otherwise, the marginalization of women scientists.”

Female scientists share their breakthroughs at Salk lecture BY WILL BOWEN A full house of 300 or so (mostly women and mostly over age 30), sat in rapt attention straining to understand the panel of enthusiastic medical scientists who spoke at the “Women Innovators in Human Health: From Bench to Beside” conference July 11 in the Prebys Auditorium of the Salk Institute in La Jolla. “This lecture series started back in 2012 with just 30 people,” beamed Lisa Cashman, Salk Institute program developer. “We kept at it and now we have over 300 people here today. I’d say that’s quite a success story!” The host for the event was Rafaele Tordjiman, M.D., Ph.D., founder and chair of WITH (Women Innovating Together in Healthcare). Tordjiman said she was educated in clinical hematology and internal medicine in the hospitals of Paris, France. In 2001, she moved to the United States to take a position with Sofinnova Partners as a special adviser. “WITH is a network of accomplished women who have talent in industry, medicine, research, charity and finance,” Tordjiman explained. “The organization was established to inspire and support women working in the life sciences so they can reach their full potential and deliver innovative healthcare solutions for the benefit of patients worldwide.” Carol Gallagher, a doctor of Pharmacology with the venture capital firm of New Enterprise Associates, introduced each of the three lectures that comprised the conference. Gallagher described herself as an entrepreneur, investor and operator with more than 25 years of experience in commercial drug development, working

Next up in the ‘Women in Science’ series ■ ‘Design and Discovery Fashion Showcase,’ 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the Salk Institute, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road. This promises to be a fun collaboration between Salk researchers and students from the Mesa College Design Program. The students will create and model fashions based on Salk science. Reserve a seat by contacting Betsy Collins at (858) 500-4883 or becollins@salk.edu with both large and small pharmaceutical companies. The first talk of the afternoon, titled “Discover, Innovation and Translation” was given by Michelle Booden, Ph.D., senior director in the Office of Technological Development at Salk. Booden explained the long and winding road of how basic medical research gets transformed into useable products that are then brought to the market for sale to the public. Booden said the key to successful drug development was, “sell the problem not the product.” The next speaker was Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., who discussed “Bringing precision medicine to patients.” Kurzrock is the director for the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy at UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center. Kurzrock said that she and her team design personalized strategies for treating patients with cancer. Rather than focusing on just giving patients a specific cancer drug, they try to create the best strategy of intervention using a customized combination of anti-cancer and
immune-stimulating medicines. “We try to develop and test a strategy not a drug,” she said. To achieve this end, her team develops a comprehensive understanding of a patient, including a genetic profile. “We want to move from being drug-centric to being patient-centric,” she explained. “There are 300 different cancer drugs, meaning there are 45,000 possible ways to combine any two of these 300 drugs and 4.5 million possible combinations of any three drugs. My job is to find the best combination.” Kurzrock says her patient-centered approach is necessary because “every tumor is unique ... every cancer can be thought of as a one-of-a-kind malignant snowflake. Basically, our goal is not so much to kill the cancer with a drug, but rather to get the patient’s own immune system working again so it can fight off the cancer as it is meant to do.” The final talk of the day was a joint venture involving Sheila Gujrathi, M.D., and Esther Martinborough, Ph.D. They took
Esther Martinborough
turns explaining the development of the drug Ozanimod, which is used to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Gujrathi is a physician executive, who worked for the company, Receptos, as its Chief Medical Officer from 2011 to 2015. She is currently an independent board director at Five Prime Therapeutics. Martinborough, who was educated at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the executive director of research at Receptos. They explained that MS is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body attacks itself. In this case, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, which covers the nerves. Although there is no cure for MS, the drug Ozanimod reduces the symptoms by up 86 percent and has fewer side effects than its predecessor, a drug called Fingolimod, they said. The doctors also discovered that Ozanimod is helpful in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease. After the presentations all adjourned for a reception with refreshments. Larry Greenfield, M.D., a retired radiologist who used to work at St. Jude’s Hospital in Los Angeles, and his wife Carol, were in attendance at the conference. They said they started coming to the “Women in Science” series in 2013 and have been so impressed with the researchers that they decided to help support them. Also at the reception was JoLynn Clark, a registered nurse who works in the Medical Imaging at UC San Diego Health Care. Clark said she frequently attends Salk events because “the talks are always fabulous and have the latest information to help you make the best decisions about your health care. I highly recommend these events.”

FROM AIRCRAFT NOISE, A1 (increase in aircraft noise over La Jolla) has been discussed for at least seven months, why was the fact that there was pre-Metroplex reporting never mentioned here?” Knack answered, “I’m of the mindset that we need to wait for the results until we present them. The point of bringing it up tonight was a discussion on noise monitoring slated on the subcommittees’ agenda.” Knack added that once results of the noise studies in La Jolla are finalized, she will present them at a future ANAC meeting. (Meeting dates and agendas can be found at bitl.ly/anacmeetings) Sandra Valone, the ANAC subcommittee member representing Point Loma Heights, took issue over the announcement of noise studies in La Jolla. “I’ve been trying for two years ... I’ve been to how many Airport Authority board meetings, ANAC meetings? ... and I can’t believe that La Jolla would already get noise monitors when we’ve been talking about this for two years and we’ve got thousands and thousands of complaints from Point Loma Heights,” she said. Valone maintains that departing flights turning south often detour over her neighborhood. Knack responded, “We monitored it at the time, if that’s something you would like to see, please submit a request.” But Valone countered that the places where monitoring was done didn’t reflect the areas where noise had appeared. In a post-meeting conversation with La Jolla Light, McCann said he intends to send a letter to Airport Authority, ANAC and ANAC subcommittee board members demanding

Police presence
Because Harbor Police were present at the July 19 ANAC subcommittee meeting and the June 21 ANAC meeting, Airport Authority board member Mary Sessom (appointed by East County-area mayors) informed board members of threatening messages from the public that led to the need for police at recent meetings and an ongoing investigation. “I was asked to address you about some troubling things that have been happening that deal with the treatment of our staff,” she said. “These professionals work really hard, so as leaders, I hope we convey that to our constituents and members of the public.
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
We need to be respectful, not only to each other, but to our staff. Cussing at them, threatening them is not OK. “The last threat the Airport Authority received was scary and that’s why Harbor Police will stay here until you (the ANAC subcommittee) finish.” Subcommittee members expressed concern at being “accused” of such tactics. McCann commented, “I saw Harbor Police standing outside and thought that was odd, since there was never a police officer at any of the subcommittee meetings. Once his presence was explained by way of scolding by Mary Sessom, it seemed like an act of intimidation.” When the Light first asked the about the security detail at meetings in June, Knack responded, “The Harbor Police were in attendance, as they have been in the past.”

OPINION
www.lajollalight.com
OUR READERS WRITE Bicycles are traffic, too The letter “Bicyclists must hug the right hand curb” points out the confusion and misunderstanding of this particular law. Motorists, law enforcement officers and even many cyclists often misunderstand or misinterpret this law. First of all, the law uses the word “practicable” not “practical” or the favorite word of many “possible.” These are different words with different meanings. This law only applies when the cyclist is going slower than the normal speed of traffic AND when none of the exemptions are met. Note that “normal speed” does not mean the cyclists must be going the speed limit and if they aren’t, it doesn’t mean they’re impeding traffic. Motorists need to be as patient as they are when dealing with any other type of traffic. Bicycles are traffic, too. The letter writer is incorrect in that cyclists “must hug” the curb. The word “must” is strong regulatory language that would imply there are no exceptions, but there are, as the writer listed. Lastly, not a single piece of California Vehicle Code (CVC) 21202 or any other part of the CVC prohibits two-abreast riding. Two-abreast riding in the same lane has both safety advantages for visibility and it makes it easier to pass. Even when a single cyclist is occupying the lane, most passes need to be done with a complete lane change anyway for the cyclist’s safety and to follow the three-foot passing clearance law. When people are going to quote the laws, they should quote them correctly and not create false interpretations to fit their opinions. Frank Lehnerz San Diego resident and daily commuter through La Jolla Editor’s Note: You can read the law regarding this issue by visiting bit.ly/bicyclerules
Summer 2018: Another year of Cove Stench I recently visited Laguna Beach. I was amazed at what a thriving business community it was compared to our La Jolla business community. Their mayor is definitely doing something right! La Jolla should be as busy and successful as Laguna Beach because it is even more beautiful. Instead, shops open for a number of months, then close up because there are not enough tourists or La Jollans who want to have dinner or shop because it flat out “stinks” (thank you sea lions). PLEASE pay attention to this HUGE problem and do something about it. Elizabeth Marks
Time to donate to 2018 Fourth of July fireworks To all the residents and visitors that enjoyed the La Jolla Fourth of July fireworks, it’s important to know that your tax dollars are not providing them for your enjoyment. Rather, the La Jolla fireworks are privately funded by generous local residents and businesses. For 20 years, George’s at The Cove paid for the fireworks to be produced until 2008, at which time George’s needed to get the broader community to carry the financial load. To keep a long history short, it’s only now because of generous local businesses like La Valencia Hotel, La Jolla Cove Hotel & Suites, Duke’s, La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, George’s at The Cove, Willis Allen, Cisterra Development, Hughes Marino and five local families, writing checks from $3,000 to $5,000, that we are able to pull together the $60,000 needed to produce the fireworks annually. Just this week, Donovan’s came in with a
$5,000 sponsorship to support the 2018 show! If you or your business are interested in supporting the 2018 fireworks show, I would love to hear from you as we need a few more residents and business owners who are passionate about this great annual tradition. For those of you who aren’t supporting financially, please make sure to frequent the businesses mentioned here and thank the owners and managers for their support of the fireworks, as without them, the fireworks would not be here for your enjoyment.

Some Village trash cans are privately owned After my inquiry, Johnie Perkins, San Diego deputy director of Environmental Services, called to say that the trash can reported as overflowing in the La Jolla Light recently, is not serviced by his department nor MTS. Environmental Services did a site visit and found the trash can was recently emptied. Perkins thinks it was most likely put there by the property owner of a local business, and that it is most likely emptied by a local business. He told me that if it is reported again, as overflowing, the City will remove it. He was very helpful. Please provide a follow up in the paper so residents know to report any future problems, and also because the City is not at fault. The City doesn’t own any circular concrete trash receptacles.

Sea lion gate rankles beach access advocate So the City now plans to lock out our citizens and lock in the sea lions at La Jolla Cove! I won’t be surprised if people object to not letting the sea lions use our park, after all, we’ve let marine mammals take over Children’s Pool and now The Cove beach. What difference is a little patch of grass — especially if you don’t live here and haven’t taught your children to swim, snorkel and just walk along this beautiful shore. Alicia Quackenbush Editor’s Note: To be clear, the gate planned for the staircase on the beach at La Jolla Cove will not be locked, according to Herman Parker, director of San Diego Parks & Recreation Department. The City would close it in the event of a large sea lion haul-out to keep the animals from Scripps Park and surrounding sidewalks.
Speeding in The Village seems on the rise The incidents of speeding cars and motorcycles has escalated, especially on Torrey Pines Road, Girard Avenue, Pearl Street and in the alleys, and yet I’ve only seen a police officer pull a motorist over on Torrey Pines Road (facing east) after they ran a red light. A camera on Torrey Pines Road would be useful to capture the license plates of those speeders and would furthermore be evidence of motorists close to hitting pedestrians crossing the street, which clearly bears the sign: “No Turn On Red.” Motorist still do it anyway. As a La Jollan since 1964, I am just fed up with the situation. Me and a lot of other pedestrians are tired of getting the middle finger and having profanities shouted at us when we have the right to cross the street when the signal shows “cross.” Are people color blind? Do they not care? Wake up motorists! Show some respect for others and slow down and pay attention to the laws. Name withheld by request
Resident pens a poem for Airport Noise Committee Below is a little ditty created by one of my La Jolla neighbors who is very annoyed with
the treatment we’ve been receiving from ANAC (Airport Noise Advisory Committee). I thought it was quite charming and humorous, and hoped others might enjoy it, as well. It certainly speaks to the frustrations we’ve all felt in dealing with the entity we thought was going to help us out with the horrible aircraft noise overhead. Beatrice Pardo
‘A little smack for ANAC’
This is the story of a beautiful little hamlet that was once very laidback, A place with boundless natural beauty, happy natives, there was little they lacked. It was a wonderful place to live nestled, gently against the soft Pacifac! (sic), Until Metroplex occurred and repugnant air-noise pollution set everything aback. Because all of a sudden, airplanes were flying low overhead and completely off track! Their once-treasured solitude and tranquility became completely ransacked. And now those poor people face health hazards, some of which are cardiac. But don’t worry, they were told. Because there is a committee to help, its name, ANAC. “A forum to receive your complaints,” and, in particular, “a reliable contact”! And so petitions were signed for it to see, over 1,000 in that stack. But it had trouble with that form of complaint, and opined there was a better way for it to track. So to a website they were sent, only to have
that one completely taken back. (It was obvious that this little episode was nothing but a sidetrack.) But a new tracker was made, supposedly better than before, And then despite receiving over 12,000 more, The ANAC contact now complained that a few were without “enough facts.” And so it was still impossible for it to act. And so the La Jollans are now left realizing that this is all a bushwhack, And it seems that their contact is apparently just a hack. Quite likely the only hope for a La Jolla comeback Is if someone were to get the sack. Who? (Can’t complete the rhyme, lest we catch some flack!) To ANAC, apologies if you’re offended by this little bit of smack, But because I’m so frustrated with you, just consider it payback!

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL
NEGLECT ALONG GIRARD AVENUE D
ead palm fronds and broken tree wells that pose a hazard to pedestrians line Girard Avenue from Prospect to Silverado Streets. Despite numerous complaints (since June 2016) from a frustrated merchant to the offices of both former District 1 City Council member Sherri Lightner and current Council member Barbara Bry, and additionally Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s office, the situation remains. The merchant told the Light a spokesperson in the Mayor’s office blamed the delay on a wet winter that produced much storm damage, and he promised action by November.

UC San Diego scientists granted $5.8 million for cancer research
Researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine July 20 were awarded $5.8 million to develop an immunotherapy that would target certain cancer stem cells. The grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine’s Independent Citizens Oversight Committee addresses cancers that defy standard treatment. According to UCSD Health, cancer stem cells present survival abilities that often render regular therapies ineffective or short-term. The money will be used to test the concept of the therapy and generate safety data prior to human trials, according to Dr. Ezra Cohen, professor of medicine and associate director for translational science at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. “Our overall goal by the end of this 30-month process is to have a full-fledged, pre-clinical plan in place, with input and support from the (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), so that we develop a new drug and test it in clinical trials,” Cohen said. The idea is to extract immune system T cells from a patient, add a gene that would activate the cell when confronted with a receptor called ROR1, grow large numbers of the altered T cells and infuse them back into the patient.

Michael J. Rokoff, M.D. June 30, 1942 - July 7, 2017
La JoLLa — Dr. Michael Rokoff succumbed to the rigors of Parkinson’s disease following an epic battle lasting over 30 years. This battle was characterized by his determination and bravery which cannot be matched. Every phase was met with renewed determination, producing survival far exceeding any expectation of his physicians as new drugs were added, neurostimulators implanted and physical therapy pursued with passion. Michael was born in Baltimore, MD to Sidney and Fanny Rokoff, quickly becoming the star of their family. His precocious and outstanding academic achievement started in secondary school at Baltimore’s City College
honors program, where he graduated by the age of 16. He then achieved academic honors and recognition at Johns Hopkins, with a degree in biochemistry by age 20, and still found time to play varsity lacrosse. He began his medical career at Tufts Medical School in Boston. at the request of his family, he then transferred to the University of Maryland, School of Medicine, where he graduated in 1966 with honors and membership in alpha omega alpha Honor Society, as the youngest member of his class. after interning at Mercy Hospital in Baltimore, Michael was accepted into the radiology program at Los angeles County, USC Medical Center. He completed his residency in 1970 and remained for an additional year of
fellowship training with emphasis on nuclear medicine and cardiac radiology, and achieved the rank of assistant professor. In order to satisfy his mandatory military obligation, he accepted a commission in the U.S. Navy Reserve as a lieutenant commander, and was assigned to the teaching staff at U.S. Naval Hospital, San Diego. He was instrumental in establishing the first dedicated cardiac catheterization laboratory at this hospital and was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal for his effort. In 1973, after making significant contributions to one of the largest public hospitals in the country and to the largest military hospital in the world, Michael seized
February 17, 1956 - June 24, 2017 the opportunity to enter private practice. He was a founding member of the medical staff and radiology department at the newly formed Mission Bay Hospital, retiring in 1996. He also served on the staffs at Scripps Memorial and Clairemont Community Hospitals. Michael is survived by his wife and fellow traveler of 39 years, Judy, who has been equally heroic through this long journey; and their two sons, adam and Ryan. a celebration of life was held July 23, at the Rokoff’s, La Jolla home. Burial will be held at Miramar National Cemetery on august 3, 2017. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Astronaut twins study shows space travel causes premature aging BY WILL BOWEN Those images of a robust Star Trek Captain James T. Kirk beaming around the solar system at maximum warp, or an irreverent Han Solo with his sidekick Chewbacca bustling through space on a quest to save Princess Leia, are sadly, an illusion. The truth of the matter is that humans or any other living thing — be it a plant or a fruit fly from planet Earth — are not meant for space travel. Traveling in space is very hard on creatures, producing physiological effects similar to premature aging. That’s one of the reasons the Stein Institute on Aging at UC San Diego brought NASA affiliate Brinda K. Rana, Ph.D., to speak to a packed audience of mostly older adults at the Garren Auditorium of the UCSD School of Medicine, last week. Rana, who has been the Principle Investigator (PI) on three NASA studies, spoke at length about the effects of space travel on all aspects of the human body — everything from vision to genetics. “Everything I say has to be approved by NASA. I have to be very careful about the data I reveal,” Rana wryly explained. Her chief NASA project was a comprehensive medical study of twin brother astronauts — Scott and Mark Kelly — who spent different lengths of time in space. Since the brothers are genetically identical, researchers thought they could ferret out the effects of time in space on their bodies. Mark had 54 days in space, while Scott spent 365 days living on the space station. Rana headed up a team of scientists from UCSD, one of 10 university-based teams from around the world chosen by NASA to study the astronauts. It was a difficult assignment requiring a great deal of cooperation. For instance, all 10 teams had to share just one vial of blood among themselves from each of the two astronauts. Rana explained that space travel impairs blood and lymph circulation, especially to the lower parts of the body: Your face gets puffy and your legs get weak. “Space travel is like hanging upside down for a long time!” she said. That’s why astronauts have to be helped out of their space capsule when they return to Earth. They can’t stand up on their own because their legs are so weak due to poor circulation. NASA knows that space travel, specifically spending time in zero gravity, is hard. But

Stein Institute on Aging at UCSD hosted a recent lecture by NASA affiliate Dr. Brinda K. Rana, who spoke about the effects of space travel on the human body. since the plan is to send men and women up to Mars, which is a six-month flight one way, it is trying hard to develop ways to counteract the debilitating aspects of space travel so the astronauts can function when they get to the red planet. Luckily, the gravity on Mars is less than it is on Earth, so they should be able to stand up and carry out their activities. Space travel also produces bodily changes you cannot see, affecting the chemistry and physiology of the body. It also affects DNA and RNA. Rana found that while in space, astronaut Scott Kelly had 200,000 differences or mutations in RNA actions, which returned to normal when he came back to Earth. “This just shows that genes are not static, but very sensitive to the environment around us,” Rana said. Space travel also changes the intestinal flora or probiotics in the gut, which aid digestion. There are also cardiovascular changes, muscular atrophy, arteriosclerosis, glaucoma and bone loss. It looks just like the signs of aging! Space travelers also experience increased
cranial pressure. There are changes to the eyes and vision problems develop. This syndrome is known as “VIIP” or Visual Impaired Intracranial Pressure syndrome. Rana is an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSD and has a lab at the Stein Institute of Aging. She is an alumna of UCSD with a B.A. in math from Revelle College. She also has an M.S. in math from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas in molecular genetics. At the Stein Institute, her chief duty is to look for the genes that seem to keep some older adults from getting age-related disorders. Rana’s NASA studies are relevant because the results have an application to understanding aging on Earth and in helping people in similar situations to space travel, like those who are bedridden for long periods of time. In one experiment, Rana’s lab studied people who were confined to bed with their body inclined downward toward the head at a 15-degree angle, mimicking the effects of space flight.

Karen Ocorr, Ph.D., was at the lecture because she is also working with NASA. Ocorr is a professor in the Development, Aging and Regeneration Program at the Sanford Burham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute on North Torrey Pines Road. Ocorr studies the ion channels responsible for the relaxation of the human heart, which she says is similar in fruit flies. She just got back a batch of fruit flies that were flown to the space station on the SpaceX CRS-11 mission. She is looking at the effects of zero gravity on their heart function, which can provide models to help understand the human heart. “The fruit flies aren’t doing too well after their space flight,” she confided. Einstein once predicted that if we start to travel faster in space and get closer to the speed of light, which is about as fast as we could ever go, time will slow down. Thus we would age slower (happy thought!) in terms of chronology. But if we are in zero gravity at light-speed our bodies will age faster (unhappy thought!). Professor Rana says not to worry. “NASA will figure it out!”

A Legacy of Service
Third-generation member chairs Las Patronas’ 71st Jewel Ball BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON or the first time in its 71-year history, Las Patronas, the La Jolla-based women’s philanthropy group, has a third-generation member in Jewel Ball chair Jorie Fischer. Her grandmother, Midge Preston, was a Las Patronas founding member and chair of the 1958 Jewel Ball. Her mother, Sarah Burton Hawkins, became a member in 1999. Las Patronas’ signature event, the annual Jewel Ball, sports the 2017 theme “Taking Flight” (a playful salute to the Golden Age of Air Travel). The fundraiser begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Tickets are available at laspatronas.org This year the organization boasts five active “legacy members” (those whose mother was also in Las Patronas), and eight total who’ve had a mother, mother-in-law or aunt in the organization. These multi-generational members are continuing a heartfelt tradition of service. “As long as I’ve been a member, there have been legacy members,” said current president Leigh Plesniak (who is not a legacy member). “They know what to expect, they come in with history and understanding. You get a sense of history when you talk to them. We want to honor our past and continue the mission set forth by our predecessors, and when we have people who saw their moms planning and then attending the Jewel Ball, we get to see our history come to life over and over again.” She added, “I think having legacy members
F
and multiple generations speaks highly of the organization.” Las Patronas, sometimes referred to as LP, was formed in 1946 by Kathryne Hosmer and 13 other women (including Jorie’s grandmother) to host an event to raise money for the United States Service to China organization in the aftermath of World War II. To date, the organization has raised millions of dollars for hundreds of local beneficiaries. Fischer posed, “Wouldn’t our founding members be tickled to learn how far our reach has gone and how far we’ve come? When I was asked to become a member, it was such an honor and I couldn’t wait for the opportunity because it means so much to carry on what those women started.” But as far as Las Patronas has evolved, several things have not changed — the beneficiaries are still vetted and everything for the Jewel Ball is made by hand by members, and there is an extensive emotional support system within the group.
Path to philanthropy
Second-generation member Hawkins, who “caught the bug” from watching her mother participate in Las Patronas, said she always wanted to be of service to her community, and she volunteered for everything from classroom parent and team mom to helping her mother with Las Patronas’ activities as a child. “I remember little things like selling donation tickets to summer visitors in August. I was itty-bitty and my mom would
send me up and down the beach to sell tickets. So when I was little, I saw how I could help. As I got older, there was always a feeling that there was something more I could do and I wanted to find what that was,” she said. The decision to join Las Patronas didn’t come until after Hawkins graduated from college, but the quickness to raise her hand made an impact on her daughter. Third-generation member Fischer said she considered joining when her children were young, but was only convinced when she saw that the other women in the group were also juggling work, children, social life and Las Patronas. That spirit of community and sisterhood, and the bonding experience that comes from being in the women’s group, brought Judy Hall (mother to legacy member Nicole Hall) to Las Patronas in 1975. “It’s a privilege to be a member and be of service to something greater than yourself. The people who push together for something so great are bonded together forever, and I can confidently say these women are lifelong friends,” she said. When it came to building the decorations and setting up the Jewel Ball, she added that it was difficult to be away from her children, but they understood that she was working on something big. “That’s the profile of an LP member, you have to be ‘that’ person,” she laughed, “because after all that work, when the Ball is over, they get right back to work stripping the whole thing and tearing it down. They
work all night. You have to be willing to be a workhorse.” Her daughter, Nicole, noted, “Having a parent involved in philanthropy makes you think you can do it, too. So while in sixth grade, I wasn’t thinking ‘when I grow up I’m going to be in LP,’ you see opportunities for yourself.” Nicole jokes that she brings work clothes to the Jewel Ball so when the event is over, she can change from her ballgown into yoga pants and a T-shirt and work all night to break down the event.
Jewel Ball memories
When asked if each legacy member had memories of their mother and the Jewel Ball, Fischer and Nicole Hall excitedly said “yes,” and Hawkins, added, “me too,” to laughs. “The glamour!” Hawkins exclaimed. “The little white mink stoles ... the jewels and the big ball gowns ... it was spectacular! As a little girl, I thought my mom was a fairy princess. And then I realized how much work was involved the day of the Ball to yield such a great result, and couldn’t imagine how these women looked so relaxed after they’d been working all the day.” Fischer said to her mother, “I felt the same way watching you get ready and the committee ladies coming over to get ready. Joining Las Patronas, I have a new-found respect for how much poise these women have the night of the Ball. … When you think about the day-in-and-day-out work in the days leading up to the ball and then showing up glamorous after you’ve painted SEE LAS PATRONAS, B8

Caw Wars
I
La Jolla Cultural Partners
s it just me or have the last few years brought a preponderance of crows to our area? It seems like every morning we wake up to caw wars. These are some seriously noisy little suckers. The first question anyone asks about crows is whether they’re actually ravens, which have more cachet. This is, after all, La Jolla. The Jewel is not a town that has crows and rats. We prefer to think of ourselves as a community with ravens and … no rats. Sorry on both counts. Here’s how you tell a raven from a crow: A crow’s tail is shaped like a fan while the raven’s tail is wedge-shaped, not that I’ve ever been able to get any of the plethora of winged ones populating my yard to slow down long enough to tell. The big giveaways are that the crows travel in groups (as opposed to the ravens in pairs) and are far louder. Far, far louder. At 5 a.m., I’m tempted to stick my head out the back door and yell, “Geesh, you guys! Do you have any idea what TIME it is?” Over the 44 years I’ve lived in my house there have been sudden influxes of bird populations, some human-manufactured. For Henry’s fourth birthday, I hid five pounds of peanuts-in-the shell around our
front yard as one of the game activities. Whoever found the most got a prize. The kids lost interest about three peanuts and two nanoseconds later. But it turns out that blue jays LOVE peanuts in the shell. For at least the next decade we probably had the most flourishing blue jay colony in North America. They’d even come up to Olof on our patio table in the morning as he was reading the paper and eat cracker bits out of his hand. And then one season they just disappeared. I tried “reseeding” the yard with more peanuts but just got rats, who, it turns out, like peanuts, too. Actually, we’ve discovered that rats like pretty much everything. Our next foray into wild bird-dom occurred the fall we were remodeling our kitchen in 1999. Construction workers using our guest bath (we were at work during the day) reported being startled by the sound of a bird slamming into the bathroom window every 30 seconds or so. Upon investigation, the bird, whom we dubbed Psycho Finch, was attacking his reflection which he thought was another bird. You’d think he’d give up on that idea after the first day but no, it went on from dawn to dusk for weeks. How he didn’t have brain

damage, I don’t know. Closing the shutters just made him switch to one of the south-facing bedroom windows on either side. Project Wildlife suggested hanging a scary-looking plastic bat from the eaves to dissuade it but Psycho Finch just used the bat to rest on, happily bobbing up and down on its elastic string between attacks. We were very glad when Psycho Finch suddenly disappeared but lo and behold, the next fall at the same time, the same thing happened. We called that one Son of Psycho Finch. The following year we even had Grandson of Psycho Finch. But then the lineage seemed to die out. It’s good to know that natural selection can prevail. One of my most popular columns ever was about Quick and Quack, the two mallard ducks that show up every spring to poop in our pool. But this year they didn’t come. Global warming? Too much competition from crows? (Cleaner pools?) Given that we are bird people (we have an outdoor aviary and an abundance of bird feeders), it was not surprising that we were Project Wildlife volunteers for several years on the baby song bird team. The little guys needed to be fed every 30 minutes from sunup to sundown with a mixture I injected into their squawking gullets with a needle-less syringe. People who called my office would ask, “Are you in a forest?” Unfortunately, someone finally complained to HR (my boss?) and my Project Wildlife career was over. So now we seem to be in our Crow Phase. There are a lot of mature trees both on and around our property and it is my observation that these guys are pretty territorial about which branch belongs to

whom. Watching this from the safety of my Adirondack chair, they look like avian F-4s engaged in dog (er, crow) fights. Our cars have been underneath some of these battles, as have our brick walkways. I do my best not to put myself in the line of fire. The crows certainly enjoy congregating on the power lines that run next to our house, and their fondness for extracting insects from our lawn seems to suggest that we have inadvertently provided them with an ample food supply.

Electrifying Guitars
Book to reveal the secret life of guitar creator Leo Fender
‘Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World’ will be released Nov. 1.
COURTESY
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN There are many people who claim the title “inventor of the electric guitar,” but perhaps the one whose name has percolated the most on the local, national and international level is Leo Fender. Now his wife Phyllis Fender and Randall Bell, the son of one of his employees, are publishing a book to shed some light on the myths that chased the man throughout his life and beyond. “Everybody who was aware of Leo thought of him as this silent man, who all he did was work,” Phyllis began, “which in a way was true, he was a workaholic, but when he married me, he became a husband, a stepfather, a grandfather, a son in law, an uncle … he was surrounded by people. And these people he just loved.” Phyllis said Leo had never been around babies in his life before their partnership started in the late 1970s. “He was astounded at children, and we had such happy time. (During family gatherings) he was always

talking and laughing, and I wanted the world to know that inside this silent giant, there was a man who appreciated family, dinners, playing and watching the kids swimming in the pool.” Though the book “Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World,” will be released Nov. 1, hardcover copies are available for pre-order at amzn.to/2pyi34i “I can hardly wait to see it on the market,” Phyllis told La Jolla Light. Randall’s father worked for Fender, and he grew up close to the guitar creator’s work. “I grew up with all things Fender, my parents’ kitchen table was made by Stratocaster wood, and my dad introduced me to every person at the factory!” he said. The making of the book happened at a pie shop near where Bell’s parents and the Fenders lived. “I would take out my smartphone and ask Mrs. Fender questions and she kept me fascinated with the answers … I did some research but that’s how the book came together,” he explained.

Randall Bell and Phyllis Fender The plot is, essentially, about Leo, Phyllis said, “Every page has a piece of Leo on it.” Bell elaborated, “It starts with the day he was born, goes to the chronology of how he invented the electric guitar, and it ends with his passing away in the Fender home. There are stories that make you laugh hysterically, others make you cry … he was an interesting guy who never took himself very seriously.” One of the key stories in Leo’s life is how he designed and built electric guitars that would eventually become the widely used Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster. “At the time he thought about making guitars, he had a radio shop downtown where he repaired anything electrical,” Phyllis said. “This was during World War II when the communities around here had ‘war bond’ dances. Some people asked Leo to put something up with amplifiers so they could have a dance and set it up for the band, which he did. But one time, as he was

finishing his work, he decided to sit by the band and listen to them. Watching the band, he observed some guitar players playing like crazy, but he couldn’t hear anything, he couldn’t hear them over the horns, drums and bass. That touched his heart and immediately, the next day, he got a piece of wood out and started designing what would eventually become the Stratocaster and Telecaster.” Bell added, “There were the standard acoustic guitars people were trying to amplify, but it wasn’t working very well. Leo got the idea and put a pickup on a solid body guitar, when you think of guitars today, you think of the solid bodies … this was far more functional than trying to electrify the acoustic guitar.” When asked what Leo might think about the new book, Phyllis replied, “He would be surprised and he would say ‘that’s not about me, none of this has ever been about me, it’s only been about the instruments.’ ”
Leo Fender ■ Born in 1909, Leo Fender grew up in Fullerton where he opened a radio shop in 1938. In 1946 he founded the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company. His contributions to the music world in the creation and design of the electric guitar as we know it now have been widely recognized. ■ He was presented with the Country Music Association Pioneer Award in 1981; was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock Walk of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His accomplishments were also acknowledged with a Technical Grammy Award in 2009. Fender died in 1991.

FROM LAS PATRONAS, B1 the last flat and placed the last flower — to be that composed is impressive.” Nicole added that she remembered the smell of her mother’s Jewel Ball perfume and the shade of her lipstick. “She was gone a lot, but I knew it was because she was doing something important,” she said. “It looked like a lot of work … and from the outsider’s perspective, I can see how people would look at LP as being a group of ladies who sit around and have a dilettante life and throw a big party. I can see how that is the perception, but in truth, these are women who work hard and then have a good time.”
The next generation
Both Fischer and Nicole have daughters, and note that they encourage them to be of service, but recognize LP membership might be years away. Plus, the girls would need to live in La Jolla to qualify, and would need to be invited by a current member. “My daughter, Annabelle, is 12, and she understands what our efforts go toward. We talk about the Monarch School (a previous beneficiary) … she embraces that and knows the hard work that goes into raising money for those beneficiaries,” Nicole said. “She knows this is something her grandmother did and her mom does. She gets the message that she can do this, too ... that’s what we’re raising our kids with.” Added Fischer, “My daughter, Paige, is 5, so Las Patronas is a big concept for her to embrace, but I think the underlying tone driven home in the family I grew up in, is that you don’t get involved because you have to, you get involved because you want to. That’s something that is nurtured through generations of Las Patronas members and one of my many goals as a parent — to get them involved because they want to be.” Fun fact: By the time Paige is of age to be a member, it will be near the centennial year for Las Patronas.

Empowering Young Women
La Jolla ‘Girl Up’ chapter to host speakers, fundraiser July 29 at library
COURTESY
Members of La Jolla High School’s ‘Girl Up’ chapter attend the first San Diego Girl Up Coalition Meeting in June, with other ‘Girl Up’ chapter members. “As the club grew, we started doing community projects and chose to focus our efforts on sexual assault awareness, and we’ve done our best to supplement what’s offered at school by bringing in speakers and hosting workshops and events during Sexual Assault Awareness Month (April),” she said. “We focus on adolescent empowerment.” The club has also hosted screenings of documentaries that focus on women’s issues, such as “He Named Me Malala,” about Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban because she spoke out on behalf of girls’ education; and “Miss Representation,” in which leaders such Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Condoleeza Rice, Gloria Steinem and others discuss sexism in American society and the media. Taking it a step further, the group organized the July 29 fundraiser. Amaya came up with the idea to meet the terms of her “Beauty with a Purpose” project. “I’m participating in the America’s Miss Teen World, which is under Miss World, one of the four largest international pageants. They are very service-oriented, which I like. One thing they have for everyone that competes is a ‘beauty with a purpose’ project. Each person chooses
and organization they would like to work with and because I had already done a lot of work with ‘Girl Up,’ I chose them,” she explained. This year is the first time the beauty pageant offers a teen title. Amaya has participated in local and national pageants, and is a national finalist in Miss Teen World. In August, she will go to Orlando to compete for the national title. “If I win, I get the title for the whole year and I would get to travel. If I do, I’d want to be able to talk about ‘Girl Up’ as my platform and draw attention to the campaign,” Amaya said. Isha said she appreciates that Amaya has taken an organization not typically associated with feminism and uses it to shed light on a feminist cause. “Being a part of ‘Girl Up’ has helped me understand sexism around the world and in our own community,” Isha said, adding that she wants to be a part of

And as she and Amaya enter their high school senior years, they are solidifying the club’s foundation so it can be passed on to the next generation. “For those with an interest in advocacy or policy, this is a great group to be a part of,” Isha said. “It’s an excellent campaign and so structured, so it’s a great way to get involved. It’s also a great way to learn about how lucky we are as girls in this country, but also how far we have to go.” ■ On the Web: girlup.org

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON For the members of the La Jolla High School “Girl Up” chapter, an upcoming fundraiser at La Jolla Library means more than an afternoon of advocacy. For club president Isha Raj-Silverman, it signifies how the club has made its chapter unique by its focus on community outreach. For vice-president Amaya Duncan, it means she’s one step closer to fulfilling her “Beauty with a Purpose” project as part of America’s Miss World Teen beauty pageant. The event runs 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, July 29 at the library, 7555 Draper Ave., and will feature speakers on various women’s causes. Amaya said she would discuss the “Girl Up” advocacy campaign (the local branch of which she helped establish). Another speaker is the “outstanding teen” from the Miss San Diego pageant who will talk about causes near to her heart. Another is a rape survivor and there would be more. The event is open to the public, admission $15. “I’d like participants to know more about the impact of ‘Girl Up’ and the women in our community — what’s going on in our community and what people are doing about it,” she said. The event doubles as a fundraiser, and Amaya said she would like to raise $400 in donations to send to “Girl Up,” which would be distributed to educational programs in Uganda. According to its website, “Girl Up” is a United Nations Foundation’s campaign, which engages teen girls to take action, specifically by raising awareness and funds to reach girls living in places in the world where it is hardest to be a girl. The La Jolla High School chapter was established formally in 2015 (there were informal gatherings before that), and in addition to participating in the global campaign, Isha said the club has made “Girl Up” their own and targeted local issues as well.

Mark’s Mustang
La Jolla resident drives 1960s Ford around town
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.
“M
ost people don’t know me, but they know my car,” said La Jolla resident Mark Anderson of his 1966 soft blue Ford Mustang. “It’s one of the most popular cars in American History and considered one of the coolest cars ever made.” Having run a travel business from his home for the last 30 years, Anderson drives his Mustang — which does not have a name — around town. “It gets noticed at the Post Office and the Vons parking lot. When people meet me, they usually say ‘Oh, you’re the guy with the Mustang,’ so apparently it stands out,” he said. “A lot of people like it for one reason for another. It has some universal appeal. I’ve seen tourists take their picture next to it when I take it into town. And people come up to me and tell me about when they had one in high school or college. But for me, I just like that it gets me around. It doesn’t get great gas mileage, but it’s very fast and powerful, so I joke that it passes everything but a gas station.” The car has a V8 engine and eight cylinders. For a car with a lot of power under the hood, there aren’t a lot of other “power” features on his car, such as power steering, power brakes or power windows. Nor does it have air conditioning or air bags. But that’s all worth it for the attention it gets and the speed it produces. Anderson notes it goes from 0 to 60 in five seconds. “It sounds like a B29 Bomber Jet coming in for a landing on three engines because it’s really loud, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. It’s not like a Prius, which you can’t even tell when it’s on,” he pointed out. Further, Anderson said he appreciates the lasting quality of old cars. “The classics have an enduring factor. It’s good to have cars that were made in America that last; that were made back when Detroit was Detroit, the car manufacturing center of America,” he said. “Plus it is a good car for investment
La Jolla resident Mark Anderson with his 1966 Ford Mustang purposes because they are so easy to work on, and they will appreciate in value every year versus cars that depreciate as soon as they drive off the lot.” It helps that Anderson got a good deal on the car at the onset, when he purchased the car from a friend 40 years ago for $600. “It was in fair condition, but I put a rebuilt engine in it, and have since replaced the engine once every 10 years. It keeps it rolling. The engine is known for being reliable, you just have to tune it up once every few years. I like that it does not have a single computer chip in it and is so simple that anyone can work on it.” In the event there is a repair Anderson cannot do, he takes it to local garages when simple repairs are needed, and Mustang-specific ones in San Diego’s East County when something more intensive is involved. As his daily driver, he leaves it out on the street near his WindanSea home, so it has accrued some rust and minor dings. He has also taken the car on road trips all over San Diego, Texas and other areas of the United States and Canada. “Some of my fondest memories are road trips in that car. I grew up by the beach, but I love to visit the country, so this car has been on every back road, even dirt roads, across San Diego County and up

the coast, and over to Texas. I like that I can just put my foot on the gas and get somewhere,” he said. While on the road, Anderson said he gets stopped by fellow car enthusiasts and when he comes across car ads and memorabilia, he grabs them. “Someone flagged me down once while I was driving, he cried ‘pull over, pull over!’ He had an old advertisement that features the same year and color as my car. It’s meant to look like an article (and headlined ‘Should a Man in his 50s be allowed out in Mustang?’) and he said I just had to have it.”
The man behind the Mustang Anderson said his La Jolla roots go back nearly 100 years. “My great grandfather was a senator from Minnesota and he would bring the family out here every summer and rent one of the cottages across from La Jolla Cove. This was back in the early 1900s,” he said, adding that he has a photo of his father as a baby with his grandfather and great-grandmother at The Cove. Having moved here after marriage, the Anderson family has been in La Jolla ever since. “I think I inherited my love for old cars and La Jolla from my dad, who was a car nut, and my grandpa Roscoe.”
Mark Anderson shows off some of his gifted Mustang memorabilia.

La Jolla United Methodist welcomes new pastor BY SANDY COLLER La Jolla United Methodist Church members on July 1 bid a fond farewell to the Rev. Dr. Walter Dilg after eight years of ministry and welcomed a new pastor, the Rev. Dr. Philip Bartalo Wood. Pastor Phil comes to La Jolla from Fullerton United Methodist Church. His pastoral service has included United Methodist Churches in Huntington Beach, Oxnard, Chula Vista, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, Glendale and Arcadia. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Whittier, California, he graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 1970, and was selected as a member of the Annual Conference Study Seminar to Bolivia. It was there, he said, that he felt and answered the call to ministry. Subsequently, he graduated with his Master of Divinity from the Iliff School of Theology and his Doctor of Ministry from the Claremont School of Theology. Pastor Phil and Elsa Cordero Wood have been married since 1990. Theirs is a yours-mine-and-ours family, sharing four children and three grandchildren. They said they are looking forward to being part of the La Jolla community in many ways. The location of their new residence puts them within walking distance of the church at 6063 La Jolla Blvd., and Pastor Phil has already made the acquaintance of a number of his new neighbors as he commutes via foot between home and work. In the short time he’s been a part of his new congregation, Pastor Phil has won the hearts of staff and parishioners alike. When asked for one sentence to describe his calling, Pastor Phil responded, “All I’m attempting to do is to fulfil St. Augustine’s statement that ‘God has not called us to be successful, only to be faithful.’ ” For more information, call the church office at (858) 454-7108.
Rev. Dr. Philip Bartalo Wood is the new pastor at La Jolla United Methodist Church.
COURTESY
City Council honors a scientist and a Marine hero
Oceanographer Walter Munk in 2013
ERIK JEPSEN
A Marine hero and a renowned scientist were honored by the San Diego City Council, July 25. The council members were asked to proclaim “Sgt. Peralta Day” in San Diego, in honor of Rafael Peralta, who was killed in action in 2004 in Fallujah, Iraq. Family members of the 1997 Morse High School graduate were expected to attend the event, which will come five days before a ship bearing his name is commissioned by the Navy. Peralta was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for his actions in a firefight, in which he was seriously wounded by a gunshot to the head and killed by a grenade. A bid by Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, R-Alpine, for Peralta to receive the Medal of Honor was rejected by defense officials amid questions of whether he consciously pulled the grenade under his body to save fellow Marines. The City Council was also asked to honor oceanographer Walter Munk under its new honorary street naming program. “Walter Munk is not only a world-renowned geophysicist, often referred to as ‘The Einstein of the Oceans,’but he is a beloved local icon with deep roots in the San Diego community,” said District 1 Council member Barbara Bry. Her proposal is to add Munk’s name to the 8100 block of La Vereda Street in La Jolla Shores, near where he performed experiments after becoming a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the 1940s. Bry said she plans to unveil new street signs in October to commemorate Munk’s 100th birthday. The City Council recently used the honorary street naming program to honor “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill, whose signs are scheduled to be unveiled Sunday in Clairemont. — City News Service

Library presents 10 times the tunes
A
s part of the La Jolla Library summer reading program, musician Craig Newton put on a special performance with 10 instruments.

Summer Legs and Beyond: Exercising with Varicose Veins It’s summer, there are record temperatures, and you want to be in shape for all those warm-weather clothes. But if you also suffer from varicose veins, not all exercises will be beneficial to fitness and your venous health. The problem with varicose veins When you see varicose veins, the big purplish ropes under the skin, that is blood buildup in veins due to weak venous valves. Varicose veins usually appear in the legs because the veins have to work harder to pump the blood from the feet back up to the heart. The heart, then, has to work harder to pump that blood through the weaker veins.
Sometimes, high blood pressure can develop or be exacerbated by varicose veins. Why not all workouts are ideal for people with varicose veins The general rule of thumb is that exercise is a good way to improve venous health. So while varicose veins are mostly the result of genetics, keeping up proper blood flow will help the appearance of the varicose veins and improve your overall vascular health.The key is to use exercise to improve circulation, especially throughout the legs. There is even a chance that moderate exercise may reduce the chances of forming new varicose veins or worsening the already weakened veins. The veins in the calf muscle are especially useful in pumping blood back into the heart, so exercises that strengthen the calf muscles should be a part of your workout plan. Riding a bike, especially a stationary bike, is particularly effective. Walk, don’t run Walking stimulates circulation and burns plenty of calories, and the same applies for
low-impact jogging. However, a high-impact run or workout can actually increase the swelling of the veins and add stress to your joints. If you are a runner, consider moving your workout to a soft surface and wearing compression stockings to stimulate blood flow. That gut feeling Blood flowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. So weightlifting and lots of sit-ups can do more harm than good for varicose vein sufferers. However, if weightlifting is an important part of your workout regimen, consider less weight with more reps, and avoid putting too much strain on your abdomen. The same is true for strenuous yoga; some poses can put extra pressure on the vena cava, impeding rather than improving circulation.
Low-impact yoga that involves smooth transitions and lots of stretching is a better plan. Remember, you should stop immediately any exercise that causes leg pain or even discomfort. Exercises is about doing good, not harm, and there can be too much of a good thing, especially when your vascular health has been compromised by varicose veins. There is no prevention for varicose veins, and no failproof cure. But a healthy, lowimpact, cardiovascular-boosting routine is a great ally for healthy legs. And while varicose veins are common enough and may not always be life-threatening, a good solution to accompany exercise is removing those varicose veins with sclerotherapy, which can be done in just a short office visit. If working out has given you symptomatic vein disease, and if you’re tired of your varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website.

Doctor shares 7 tips for keeping stress levels low FROM PR REPORTS Life gives people plenty of reasons to be stressed. Relationship problems, child-rearing issues, job woes and a lack of money are just some of the complications that can weigh people down — and cause health problems. “It’s difficult to stay healthy and energized when stress is a daily reality,” said Greg Wells (drgregwells.com), author of The Ripple Effect: Eat, Sleep, Move and Think Better. “Chronic stress can damage your body, threaten your mental health, put a strain on relationships, and take the joy out of life.” But there’s no reason to surrender to stress, and he suggests seven techniques that can help you have a healthier “thought life” and recover from chronic stress: 1) Move your body. Rhythmic, repeated motion is particularly soothing to the mind and body. A long walk, cycling, swimming, or running will all work, but any kind of movement relieves tension, improves circulation, and clears your mind. 2) Get into nature. Head to the garden, the park, or the woods to lower your blood pressure, strengthen your immune system, reduce tension and depression, and boost your mood. “It’s stunning how good it is for your health to be in nature,” Wells said. “And I recommend you leave the cell phone and earbuds at home.” 3) Practice yoga or Tai Chi. Therapy, yoga and Tai Chi are good ways to decrease stress and anxiety, increase energy, and boost the immune system. They also give you more stamina — needed in stressful times — and improve the quality of your sleep. 4) Have perspective. Don’t be so quick to conclude that you “can’t handle” a stressful situation. “This is truly a

It’s important to remember that your thoughts have a strong influence over stress levels. mind-over-matter opportunity,” Wells said. “Believing that you are strong and resourceful actually makes you stronger and more resourceful.” Don’t give in to negative self-talk about not having what it takes to manage life, he added. 5) Change the nature of your response. Research indicates that taking an active, problem-solving approach to life’s challenges relieves stress and can transform it into something positive. If you withdraw, deny the problem, or spend all your time venting, you’ll feel helpless. Instead, Well says, be determined to make a change, put effort into it, and plan for better results. 6) Practice slow, deep breathing. Start applying the power of deep breathing each day. It will make a huge difference. Wells recommends you start small by taking three deep breaths each time you sit down at your desk — in the morning, after breaks, after lunch, and so on. It will help you become more patient, calm, and relaxed. 7) Block time for single-tasking. Each day, schedule time in your calendar for focusing exclusively on one task. This task should be something that is important to you. “People love to talk about multi-tasking, but while doing several things at once might make it seem as if you are working hard, it’s an illusion,” Wells said. Your body and mind are not designed to work that way and it causes extra stress. “Ultimately, it’s important to remember that your thoughts have a strong influence over stress levels,” Wells said. “What you choose to think about, or not think about, dictates how your body and mind react to everyday life.” —Dr. Greg Wells is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Toronto where he studies elite sport performance. He also serves as an Associate Scientist of Translational Medicine at The Hospital for Sick Children, where he leads the Exercise Medicine Research Program.

Bird Rock photo exhibit captures ’70s surfboard designs BY JANE WHEELER Throughout the month of July, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters at 5627 La Jolla Blvd. is hosting artist Mark Carter’s engaging photographic homage to the textures of surfboard design in “The Spirit of ‘72.” In his artist statement about the project, Carter writes: “In September of 1972, I was born. Gas was 55 cents a gallon, Wrangler Jeans were $12, a Kodak Pocket camera was $28, and a brand-new Ford Pinto was just over $2,000. Nixon was impeached, The Stones released their critically acclaimed album ‘Exile on Main St.’ and the World Surfing
Championship was held in San Diego. The event was considered “competitive surfing’s lowest point,” but that didn’t stop the momentum of the industry. Through the 1970s, surfing saw tremendous growth with the dawn of the ‘professional athlete’ and the birth of behemoth companies like Quicksilver, Billabong and Rip Curl. With the short board revolution well under way, the board design and surfing style of the ’70s evolved becoming more radical in both technique and approach. That said, ‘The Spirit of ’72 (TSof72)’ is a monochromatic photographic homage to the textures of board design from the 1970s.
Capturing the board-building process from start to finish, TSof72 creates a visual timeline of shaping, glassing and polishing a surfboard. Hand-shaped by Dyer Brand (a surfboard manufacturing company based in San Diego) the board is a 7-foot 2-inch single fin, mid-length egg model inspired by period surf films like ‘Evolution’ and ‘Sea of Joy.’ With flat rocker and a flat bottom that transitions to a V through the tail, this board draws smooth lines of glide, speed and style reminiscent of the colorful and innovative decade of the 1970s.” — More at mcphoto.me
