‘Slow Down’ La Jolla

Multiple car accidents occur in recent weeks

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON t least four car accidents have taken place across La Jolla in the month of July and first week of August, prompting different courses of action to draw attention to the issue. Starting the afternoon of July 10, an elderly driver crashed her white Lexus into a house on the corner of Torrey Pines Road at Ivanhoe Avenue. The driver was briefly trapped in the vehicle and had to be rescued by San Diego fire fighters. The cause of the crash was not confirmed. The homeowner has since posted two signs in front of the property, facing the heavily trafficked Torrey Pines Road. They read: “Slow Down” and “Please!!! Do Not Crash Into My House Again!” Ten days later, an elderly female driver was struck by a City trash truck around noon July 20 at the intersection of Girard Avenue at Torrey Pines Road. The driver did not sustain any injuries, but a portion of her car’s front bumper was dislodged. The driver reports she was stopped at the red light at Girard Avenue before turning onto ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Torrey Pines Road from the first After a car crashed into this house on Torrey Pines Road at Ivanhoe Avenue, the homeowner posted right lane.

Two-day water quality advisory posted at The Cove BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The San Diego County Department of Environmental Health issued a water quality advisory for La Jolla Cove Aug. 3-4, noting that during the advisory period, bacteria levels exceeded health standards and contact with the water should be avoided. According to the County’s Beach & Bay Water Quality Program, The Cove is “sampled weekly, year round, by the County of San Diego” and that “water quality may be impacted by marine mammals, birds and other sources at this location.” Jessica Northrup, communications officer with the County of San Diego, said

there was nothing noteworthy that caused the bacteria to spike. “During a routine inspection, the bacteria levels were higher than what the County considers safe, leading to the advisory,” she said, adding that when the water was tested again on Aug. 4, the bacteria levels were deemed safe. In April 2016, the County posted a similar advisory, citing an “uncommon number” of high-bacteria results. Northrup said La Jolla Cove is one of 45 locations that is monitored by the Department of Environmental Health in accordance with Assembly Bill 411. “The goal of AB 411 is to monitor water SEE COVE, A3

FROM COVE, A1 quality at least weekly during the summer season (April 1 through October 31) and notify the public when state health standards are not met,” she said. “This may indicate a higher risk of illness to swimmers. Due to a potentially elevated risk of illness, the Department of Environmental Health recommends avoiding water contact at beaches where a water quality advisory is in place.” Heal the Bay, an environmental monitoring group, issues a report card each year for California’s beaches. It gave La Jolla Cove a “D” grade for the summer 2016 (April to October 2016). Among the findings, Heal the Bay said, “Agency staff who monitor water quality in the area noted anecdotally an increase in seal and sea lion activity at the site. Whether or not the seals and sea lions are a contributing factor to these high counts — additional studies would need to confirm. It is likely that the Cove-like conditions exacerbate poor water quality, much like at an enclosed waterbody site.” Northrup added, “As with any beach, there are a number of factors that can affect water quality at La Jolla Cove including tides, wave intensity, flushing frequency, presence of humans or animals, presence and amount of surface water runoff and potentially others.” However, this summer’s Heal the Bay report card (the most recent end date is June 28) gave Cove waters an “A+” grade. Data is not available for the months of July and August. Dan Simonelli, president of La Jolla Cove Swim Club, said in recent weeks, swimmers who frequent The Cove have noticed an increase in sea lions present and see it as no coincidence that the water quality advisory was issued. “We noticed a difference in the smell at The Cove and then all of a sudden the (water quality advisory) sign went up. We’ve also seen more sea lions on The Cove beach in the morning. We’re not sure if they are the same ones as the ones that haul out on the bluffs at Boomer Beach (near the Bridge Club) or if there are new ones. It seems connected,” he said. ■ San Diego County has created a Water Quality mobile app people can use to check whether an advisory is in effect in real time.

Community Planners still undecided on Calle del Cielo project

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Once again, the Calle del Cielo project to create eight lots in La Jolla Shores (and build a house on each lot) took center stage at the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meeting. And once again, after nearly two hours of discussion and questions, Aug. 3 at the La Jolla Recreation Center, the board decided it could not vote to approve nor deny the project. At issue is a lack of assurance that Substantial Conformance Review would be carried out by the City and missing documentation proving outstanding issues were resolved (provided by the applicant). The applicants agreed to return to a future meeting, and it was suggested that when they do, they bring the documentation needed. Applicants for the development (to be made by subdividing a 4.45-acre site at 8280 Calle del Cielo in La Jolla Shores) seek to create eight lots with private drive and common improvements for drainage and stormwater management, and the subsequent construction of eight, new single-family dwelling units with attached

garages. The project includes design renderings and guidelines to which the houses could be built. However, the applicants are selling the lots themselves and the houses would be constructed when the buyers are found. The project encourages buyers to build the houses as presented because each comes with a Coastal Development Permit saving the buyer thousands of dollars and the years it would take to independently apply for the permit. Designer Louis Beacham, representing the team that purchased and is developing the property, told the board, “We have made a great effort to listen to community planning groups and build a project we can all be proud of that is a win-win for the community. … We have come up with changes to the project that turned out to be beneficial. We want the issues you are concerned about to be addressed.” The proposal was heard at least three times at the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC), which ultimately determined that findings could not be made to support the project. When heard at the July LJCPA meeting, the trustees had questions about drainage, outstanding unresolved City issues and residents’ concerns. The other looming issues are: When it comes down to houses being built, would the City hold a Substantial Compliance Review (SCR) to ensure the house designs do not deviate from those presented, and whether the houses would be an improvement to The Shores area (the lot is now predominantly

Design architect Paul Benton gave an overview of the project covering setbacks, walls added to decrease noise and light impacts, and changes to the design. He also enumerated the concerns presented by surrounding residents and the steps that have been taken to ease those concerns. Addressing ongoing drainage concerns, engineer Tony Christensen pointed out that in previous designs, some of the drainage went to La Jolla Shores Drive (an area subject to flooding), but now would funnel 93 percent of runoff from the drains near Calle del Cielo and Calle de Oro. “Now, only 7 percent of runoff will go down to La Jolla Shores Drive, and about one-third of that 7 percent comes from a property that is off site, so it’s a vast improvement over what is there now.”

Continuing discussion from previous meetings, several board members noted they do not trust the City to carry out a SCR to determine if a house, when ready for construction, is in line with what the community reviewed. Land-use Attorney Scott Williams explained, “It is not unusual for a project proponent, after they have received a permit, to seek to modify it in some way. The question they face is, ‘I’ve spent two years and hundreds of thousands of dollars getting this project approved, do I have to do it all over again?’ It depends. That’s what SCR is all about. The core issue is, will your modified project substantially conform to the approved project? If it does, you do not need a formal amendment to your permit. If it does not, you need to go through the review process again.” For projects carried out in the City’s Coastal Zone (La Jolla), SCR is conducted pursuant to Process Two. That means City staff must provide notice to community planning groups and residents before it makes any recommendations. LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson commented, “We’re all on the same page, it’s the people downtown who are not on the same page with us. Their opinion as to whether something is in conformance might differ from ours.” But Benton presented the Design Guidelines for the development that would be submitted to the City with the permit, and said any deviation from the guidelines

would be considered out of conformance. These include: “any alteration of the architectural forms, materials, colors or finishes of the approved design concept as presented, any decrease to the approved building setbacks for each lot and increases to the approved gross floor area for each lot.” As such, Williams said the Design Guidelines do not give the City any discretion to decide whether something is in or out of conformance. Nevertheless, trustee Ray Weiss opined, “The overriding consideration here is whether we have any faith in SCR. This is a project that won’t be built by the people who are proposing it. They are going to sell the plans, sell the lots, and then we are depending on substantial conformance. I don’t have the feeling that the issue has really been addressed. We want additional assurances with legal force behind them and we haven’t received that.” Weiss went on to call himself a “victim of substantial conformance” because a house built in his neighborhood presented and approved as one style house of a certain size, had the project sold and the house build significantly larger. “It passed under substantial conformance. Nothing came to the neighbors, it was not discussed by this body, despite being in the Coastal Zone. The City is not following its own rules.” San Diego Community Planner Marlon Pangilinan, a regular LJCPA attendee, responded, “The concern here is that there is mistrust. But there is nothing I can do about that to change your mind. I see the process working, but if you don’t trust that, there is nothing I can do.” Hoping to offer a personal guarantee, Benton said he would return to LJCPA when

Mangano said he is a structural engineer with Patterson Engineering. “I have a lot to offer this committee in terms of my knowledge of coastal development code,” he said. Greatrex was not in attendance, but submitted a statement that read: “My ongoing interest in land use is focused on thoughtful development that maintains community character and enhances quality of life.” Greatrex has been a member or chair of several advisory groups in La Jolla, including LJCPA, La Jolla Town Council, La Jolla Parks & Beaches and La Jolla Park & Rec, Inc.

LJCPA trustee Ray Weiss (left) said he’s been ‘a victim of substantial conformance,’ when a home went up in his neighborhood that was larger than the plans approved. the permits have been filed and provide the board with all the confirmed details. Still other issues with the project included the extent of community outreach, and the concern that the development is not consistent with the character of surrounding homes. One resident posed: “Do you want to take the charming community that is La Jolla Shores and allow these mansions to be imposed? It will lead to an entirely different environment from what is there today.” There are other outstanding, unresolved issues that applicants say have been documented as resolved or addressed. As

such, the committee said they would like to see more documentation from the City, and “further assurance” that SCR would take place. Without this information, the board decided to postpone a vote until a future meeting.

■ Shrubbery: In what he jokingly called his “monthly statement,” trustee Weiss again complained of shrubbery growing along a fence parallel to Torrey Pines Road that has not been trimmed and is blocking views. After discussing the issue at the June meeting (when the board voted to keep the shrubs trimmed to four feet to protect ocean views), some residents on the other side of the fence have trimmed the shrubs, while others have not. “They are thumbing their noses at us,” Weiss said. “The shrubbery in question is, at its highest, probably 10 or 12 feet. I am going to keep saying this until something gets done.” A letter has also been sent to the City asking for increased maintenance. — La Jolla Communtiy Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 14 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

FROM CAR ACCIDENTS, A1 The truck was in the second right lane and did not adhere to the “No Turn on Red” sign posted at the intersection. In the process of turning, the truck clipped the car. The month concluded with an incident in which a bicycle collided with a Lexus turning into a driveway the morning of Saturday, July 29 on the 2500 block of Torrey Pines Road. The cyclist was taken away in an ambulance. According to witness Greg Wiest, who sent photos of the accident to the Light, the Lexus was heading east into the driveway when a bicyclist riding west down Torrey Pines Road saw the car, braked hard but couldn’t avoid crashing into the passenger side, striking his head into the side window. He was wearing a helmet. Wiest said he lives in the area and that section of Torrey Pines Road is often subject to speedy drivers. “It’s very dangerous for all … there are potholes and visibility is poor in certain areas. By the way, this is the exact spot that a speeding car smashed into the electrical box at 2:30 a.m. last week, knocking out power to our building and surrounding area. Welcome to summer,” he said. The speed limit on the street is 35 miles per hour.

Two crashes, two weeks on one street

In the span of two weeks, two car accidents took place on Cardeno Drive, both of which caused a car to flip onto its side. In both cases, according to a nearby resident (who requested anonymity), a moving vehicle struck a parked vehicle. He wanted to share the story with Light readers.

GREG WIEST

A bicyclist is taken by stretcher after colliding with a Lexus that was heading east into a driveway off Torrey Pines Road. “I’ve been concerned about the speeds on our street for some time. I have a radar gun and I measure the speeds of cars on a regular basis,” the resident said. “I’ve recorded speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. The speed limit varies between 25 and 30 miles per hour.” In the most recent accident, on Aug. 3, the

driver was reportedly looking down for something on the passenger seat and did not realize the drifting, and so hit the parked car. “Today’s crash damaged my property. It hit a wall on my property and messed it up. The car tore the wheel off the parked car and then veered into my driveway. The wheel

ended up half-a-block away,” the resident said. “Two weeks ago, around 9:30 a.m. on July 20, the same thing happened in the same area.” Cardeno Drive starts east of La Jolla Scenic Drive South (where Nautilus Street ends) and is occasionally used as a detour to get into La Jolla from Pacific Beach. There are no lights on the street and one stop sign at Alta La Jolla. “There are so many schools in that area (All Hallows Academy, The Evans School and the San Diego French American School) and not very good speed limit signage,” he said. “I don’t think cars notice the signs and come through really fast.” The resident added that drivers often come up Nautilus Street at an uphill speed and if they make the green light, continue at that speed, despite the speed limit being reduced. “I walk my dog and when the cars go 50 miles per hour just a few feet from you, it doesn’t feel safe. … If someone was walking on the sidewalk, they could really be hurt,” he said. The resident would like to see any of the following measures taken to slow speedy drivers: a flashing speed limit indicator sign installed, an illuminated speed limit sign to indicate what the speed limit it, or an officer posted to issue tickets. “Anything that will get a driver’s attention and remind them that the limit is changed,” the resident said, adding that he might attend the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation advisory group meeting 4 p.m. Aug. 16 at the Rec Center.

The result of a collision on July 20 on Cardeno Drive. FROM CAR ACCIDENTS, A6 Safety Officer Mark McCullough said the simplest — not necessarily the easiest — rule to follow is simply to pay attention to your driving and your surroundings. “I know that sounds basic, but driving takes 100 percent of your attention,” he said. “It can be tempting to use the technology we have that distracts us, but paying attention is just the best rule of thumb.” He said drivers need to be aware of speed

limits and changing conditions, because the speed limits were set for a reason. “Once engineers have designed a road and gone through the process to get it built, and looked at the surround conditions such as residential or commercial, the speed limits are set at an appropriate level,” he said. “We ask that drivers maintain the speed limit or go slower.” However, McCullough added, “In Southern California, we tend to be in a hurry and live in our cars. We are always dropping

We’ve developed this culture where we wrap ourselves in our cars. People see it as a protective shell, so they act accordingly, which might not be the safest way to go. People think they can get away with a lot more in their cars.” Factor in cell phones, GPS navigation programs that take drivers into unfamiliar areas and music availability, and he said the

amount of technology that tends to distract drivers is at “the next level.” (Friendly reminder: The ticket for hand-holding a cell phone while operating a vehicle is $200.) “To know what causes crashes and see drivers continuing to do these things, is frustrating,” McCullough said. “These accidents are preventable, just pay attention to your driving. You can always pull over to make a call (with the car off) or take a break. But to see this continue to happen is like beating your head against the wall.”

Upcoming ‘Luau & Legends of Surfing’ benefit to draw focus on melanoma

elanoma has a long memory. Quite often, it is the delayed consequence of sunburns or repeated, intense sun exposures experienced as a child or teen — the coveted golden tan of youth come back to haunt. Early sun exposure (ultraviolet radiation) can damage the DNA in skin cells called melanocytes, which give our skin its pigment or coloration, igniting and driving a process of mutations and malignancy many years later, with subtypes characterized at the molecular level by novel signatures of mutagenesis, some unrelated to sun exposure. It typically occurs on parts of the body chronically exposed to sun, such as the arms, neck and face, but melanoma can grow or spread anywhere, from the skin beneath fingernails to the soles of feet; inside the mouth, the genitals, even the gastrointestinal tract. The tell-tale clue is most often an irregular mole or bump or suspect patch of skin. Discoloration varies widely: black, brown, red, sometimes no color at all. Detected early, before it has spread, superficial melanomas can be relatively

easy to treat with minor surgery and/or radiation. The prognosis is usually good, though the threat of recurrence is real and lifelong vigilance is essential. Melanoma is the least common of skin cancers, but by far the most serious and the incidence is increasing faster than any other cancer. Most skin cancer deaths are due to melanoma, roughly 10,000 a year, two-thirds of them men. Survival depends greatly upon the stage of cancer at diagnosis and to what the degree the malignancy has spread to other parts of the body. A very early stage melanoma isolated to where it began has a 5-year survival rate of more than 98 percent, which means 98 percent of patients will still be alive five years after diagnosis. But if the melanoma has spread to nearby lymph nodes, the rate drops to 62 percent. If it has spread to other parts of the body, 5-year survival falls to 18 percent. These are stark and sobering statistics, but they are not immutable. For example, the latter 18 percent figure is with traditional therapies, but the survival rate for people with metastatic melanoma has increased to 69 percent with combined immunotherapies now being offered at

are enlarged, a possible sign of spreading melanoma. Genetic testing can add further information about a patient’s risk of melanoma or help inform doctors about how best to proceed with treatment. Surgery and radiation remain the most effective treatments when appropriate. If a melanoma is more advanced or has spread, adjuvant therapies may be required. Immunotherapy stimulates the body’s natural immune response, to help it do the work of unmasking and killing cancer cells. As with other forms of cancer, there are new and developing immunotherapies for melanoma. Several immune checkpoint inhibitors that block different proteins on immune cells have been approved by the FDA and are game-changers for some patients with advanced melanoma. Therapies based upon interferons, a group of signaling proteins involved in triggering a general protective immune response, can be used to delay the recurrence of melanoma in certain settings, such as tumors with ulceration. Patients undergoing immune therapy can have serious side effects and need to be monitored closely during treatment. Newer immunotherapies are in the offing. Many are still in clinical trials, but with promising results. Indeed, Greg Daniels, M.D., Ph.D., a medical oncologist and professor of medicine at Moores Cancer Center who specializes in melanoma and immunotherapies, is principal investigator on four on-going trials. Additionally, Sandip Patel, M.D., is a medical oncologist and assistant professor at Moores Cancer Center who specializes in novel immunotherapeutics across tumor

types. He is principal investigator on a half dozen clinical trials of drugs targeting novel immune pathways of treat advanced melanoma. Later this year, Moores Cancer Center will be one of the handful of places in the country where patients can receive cellular immunotherapy — a process by which a patient’s own immune cells are selectively augmented outside of the body for their anticancer properties and reinfused back into the patient. A similar process has proven successful in treating certain leukemias. Some of these approaches help the body’s immune cells more effectively seek out cloaked cancer cells or inhibit mutated or activated genes linked to melanoma. Researchers continue to look for ways to make existing drugs work better with fewer side effects, often through new combinations of treatments. On Aug. 13, cancer survivors and cancer research supporters will gather for the 24th annual Luau and Legends of Surfing Invitational on the beach below Scripps Pier. It’s a festive occasion that includes a surfing competition and Polynesian dancing, music and food. It’s also a long-standing fundraiser for Moores Cancer Center — more than $7 million has been raised over the years. I hope to see some of you there. I’ll be wearing the sunscreen. — Scott M.

Vinyl record converter added to La Jolla Library Memory Lab BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Since its opening in April of this year, the La Jolla Riford Library Memory Lab has been booked solid with appointments (the next opening is in the fall). Funded by the La Jolla-based philanthropy group Las Patronas, the Memory Lab features equipment that takes files found on VHS tapes, VHS-C (aka compact VHS tapes), DV (camcorder), Betamax, audio cassettes, floppy disks, along with photos and slides, and digitizes them to modern files that can be readily accessed and preserved. This month, a vinyl record converter was added. So those with their favorite LPs can convert them to a digital format. The lab is open by appointment only, but new volunteers are being trained to (hopefully) lead to expanded hours. Based on user requests, branch manager Shaun

Oxygen Isotope Forensics

Mars meteorite expert shares findings at library lecture

Mars, aka The Red Planet, pictured with a polar ice cap

COURTESY OF NASA

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON To shine a spotlight on local, groundbreaking science and scientists, La Jolla Riford Library presents monthly Citizen Science Lectures, and hopes to continue them the first Tuesday of each month. While future speakers have yet to be booked, library science educator Callen Hyland said the plan is to bring advanced research to “curious, scientifically minded citizens.” At the Aug. 1 lecture, UC San Diego scientist Robina Shaheen, Ph.D., (chemistry and biochemistry departments) spoke about solving the mysteries of the planet Mars with oxygen isotope forensics. At the lecture, everyone (from science enthusiasts who could identify meteorites by name and number to those admittedly trying to keep up) gathered in the community room. Among the complex issues discussed at the hour-long lecture (punctuated with questions from the audience), Shaheen talked about the potential for sustaining life on Mars, how scientists use meteorites to understand chemical reactions and the future of Mars exploration. She explained how scientists can take the oxygen isotopes (variants of a particular chemical element, in some cases, by weight) found on meteorites from Mars, measure the isotopic qualities compared to those found on Earth, and how the isotopes measure up in terms of the elements required for sustaining human life: Carbon dioxide

(CO2), water (H2O) and oxygen (O). “In order for life to exist, the planet would have to be in what is known as the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ where water exists in liquid phase, vapor phase and solid phase. We know if water is in the vapor phase, it becomes clouds and it falls in rain (liquid) or snow (solid). This is how water is purified and this is the hydrological cycle. In our solar system, we’re in a small window where life can exist,” she said. “To understand the geology of Mars, and therefore understand if there ever was life on Mars or whether it could sustain life, we had to look at CO2, water and oxygen because these are essential ingredients for what we know about life on Earth. CO2 warms the planet, water facilitates biochemical functions and we need oxygen to breathe.” Water exists in frozen caps on Mars’ northern and southern poles, and there are images of what may have been rivers or channels on the surface, but they are dry, she said. Using atmospheric readings from NASA rover vehicles, such as Viking 1 & 2 (which landed on Mars’ surface in 1976), Shaheen said scientists have a better understanding of the isotopes found on Mars. “When meteorites land on Earth, we can look at their isotope makeup to confirm they are from Mars,” she said. As for the future of Martian exploration, she said it’s possible there might be life

What is the difference between a meteor, meteoroid, meteorite, asteroid and comet?

■ Most of us have seen meteors or shooting stars. A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. Meteor refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

■ The debris is called a meteoroid, a piece of interplanetary matter that is smaller than a kilometer and frequently only millimeters in size. Most meteoroids that enter the Earth’s atmosphere are so small they vaporize completely and never reach the planet’s surface. ■ If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it’s called a meteorite. A meteorite can range from the size of a pebble to the size of a huge, life-destroying boulder. ■ Asteroids are generally larger chunks of rock that come from the asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. ■ Comets are asteroid-like objects covered with ice, methane, ammonia, and other compounds that develop a fuzzy, cloud-like shell called a coma and sometimes a visible tail whenever they orbit close to the Sun.

UC San Diego project scientist Robina Shaheen buried under Mars’ ice caps, but that solar and galactic radiation would influence DNA production on the main surface. NASA plans to investigate further, via a 2020 mission to Mars.

Mars or Bust

According to NASA, “The Mars 2020 Rover introduces a drill that can collect core samples of the most promising rocks and soils and set them aside in a ‘cache’ on the surface

of Mars. A future mission could potentially return these samples to Earth. That would help scientists study the samples in laboratories with special room-sized equipment that would be too large to take to Mars.” Shaheen said the sample could not yet be brought to Earth because “We can’t take the risk. We have not discovered what type of microbe might be under the ice. It might be very aggressive because it is constantly

exposed to radiation. It might be so resistant that we don’t have anything to handle it. So the sample would need to stay in orbit.” She added that once instruments sophisticated enough are developed and ready “we can calculate how much carbon dioxide and water are in the ice.” NASA information states, “The mission also provides opportunities to gather knowledge and demonstrate technologies

that address the challenges of future human expeditions to Mars. These include testing a method for producing oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, identifying other resources (such as subsurface water), improving landing techniques, and characterizing weather, dust, and other potential environmental conditions that could affect future astronauts living and working on Mars.”

The Kleins offer ‘A Better Deal’ on tuxedos, suits BY DAVID L. CODDON Weddings may be “about 70 percent” of the business, says A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits’ Jerry Klein, but this family-operated store based in Bird Rock for nearly 20 years fills a variety of formalwear needs. Among them is preparing customers for gala fundraisers. “These (events) designate the wearing of suits and the accessories that go with them,” said Klein, who owns A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits with his wife Janet, whom he lovingly calls his “right hand.” “A lot of people don’t necessarily want to go out and buy a suit and accessories, but we fill a void there: the day before, the same day of, an hour before sometimes.” Klein cites a fringe benefit that comes with helping men — and women, too — dress formally and accessorize for fundraising events. “It’s wonderful to meet these people who make the country go and also people in the sports and entertainment fields. Not only to meet them,” he added, “but to have the honor of being able to put them in the garments they need to accomplish their goals.” Sometimes those fundraisers mean equipping young people with formalwear, as

of customers. “You don’t know what’s going to hit the door sometimes when you open up,” Klein said. “More often than not, it’s a pleasure.” A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits offers garments and accessories both for rental and retail on its 5,000-square-foot premises, and the inventory is onsite. “That’s a big plus,” said Klein. “We’re confident that when somebody walks in the door, even if they’re six-foot-eight, we’ll be able to take care of them.” This includes customers who may not be familiar with the ins and outs of formalwear. “A lot of the people who come in are looking to get a bit of an education on the history of what to wear for a very important occasion,” said Klein, who has been in the business almost 50 years. “They soon realize that they’ve come to the right place. Besides educating them, Jerry and Janet Klein build goodwill with their clients. Little wonder that he describes his relationships with their customers as “very good and very happy.” A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits is at 369 Bird Rock Ave., La Jolla.

Women knocked unconscious during robbery on La Jolla Blvd.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

A woman was knocked unconscious during a street robbery around 8 p.m. Sunday, July 23. Police report the victim was walking near a parking lot on the 6900 block of La Jolla Boulevard when an unknown suspect threw a rock, striking her in the face. She woke to find her purse had been taken, and she suffered injuries to her forehead, face and jaw. No one is in custody at this time.

July 15, officers stopped a vehicle on the 6600 block of Aranda Avenue and found several teens in the car. Several of the passengers were cited for curfew, and one was found with brass knuckles. According to Wikipedia, brass knuckles are designed to preserve and concentrate a punch’s force by directing it toward a harder and smaller contact area, they result in increased tissue disruption, including an increased likelihood of fracturing the victim’s bones on impact.

Robbery victim dragged by vehicle during altercation

Boat abandoned, passengers flee near La Jolla

A man was robbed of his belongings at 4:13 p.m. Monday, July 31 on the 7800 block of Bishops Lane. An unknown suspect punched the victim, took his satchel and fled in a vehicle occupied by two other suspects. Police report the victim’s feet were run over by the suspect vehicle and he was dragged for several feet. The victim said he didn’t sustain any visible injuries, but complained of pain. There are no suspects in custody at this time.

Three people were seen fleeing an abandoned Bayliner early Sunday morning at Tourmaline Beach in La Jolla, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. A witness called 911 around 1:30 a.m. to report seeing three people getting off the 18-foot vessel and running up a nearby access staircase at Sea Ridge Drive. San Diego fire officials said they found three gas containers inside the boat. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is investigating the incident.

Juvenile found with brass knuckles During a routine traffic stop, a La Jolla juvenile was found in possession of brass knuckles, a weapon made of metal shaped to fit around the knuckles. Around 12:50 a.m.

OUR READERS WRITE Su Casa will be open until new owner assumes property As the owner of Su Casa Restaurant, I would like to respond to this headline in last week’s paper: “‘Su Casa’ building project ready to go: La Jolla restaurant may close as soon as the end of summer.” Su Casa Restaurant is not going to close until the new owner takes possession of the property. This process could take some time, even months … and in the mean time, this article will impact our loyal patrons. Our doors are and will remain open. Thanks for your understanding.

Seals and sea lions are a detriment to La Jolla I thought I would take the time to submit a letter addressed to our Mayor and Town Council President (not the first) on July 21. To date, I have not had the courtesy of a response nor an acknowledgment of receipt. Dear Mayor Faulconer, As a La Jolla resident since 1953, I appreciate the fact that we live in a unique place. People have been attracted to La Jolla because of its proximity to beautiful beaches, swimming, surfing, diving and fishing. Unfortunately, the beauty of this special place has been seriously damaged, if not destroyed, by the fact that we have allowed seals and sea lions to foul our beaches and local waters, create unacceptable odors, deny our residents access to prime diving, swimming and fishing locations, and devastate our fish population. I had the fortune to grow up in this community and take advantage of the world-class fishing, diving, surfing and water sports. When was the last time I did any of these things? Many years ago. The Cove’s annual Rough Water Swim has been canceled twice (due to health department warnings about the bacteria count in the water). At times, our beaches are closed to our residents. I strongly urge you to take appropriate action now, to remove the seal and sea lion populations and restore our beaches (and community) to the beautiful place it once was! Dr. Charles Weber

It’s time to disperse La Jolla’s seals, sea lions I am appalled by the lack of effort to remove the seals and sea lions from our La Jolla Cove and the Children’s Pool. These animals stink, are obnoxious, and actually threatening to humans. There are miles of uninhabited beaches and islands they can live on. In fact, then some entrepreneur could make money and have tourists go for “see lion” tours. The City could collect taxes from their business licenses. Meanwhile, I can no longer go to our beautiful beaches or go swimming, surfing, diving and fishing. My husband and I used to fish regularly with our four sons. That is no longer possible. When the seals and sea lions first arrived, the minute we caught a fish on the line, they followed it close to the boat and then bit it off, right at the gills. Later on, we caught no fish at all. Now we just “sit” on our boat.

I can no longer swim at The Cove and there are no fish to see when snorkeling. The biggest concern of all is why the City lets seals and sea lions live right next to the coastal Marine Reserve by La Jolla Shores. Yum. Yum. Easy breakfast, lunch and dinner. Geez ... why can’t I fish there? The purpose of the Coastal Marine Reserve is to “protect” fish while they grow. I strongly urge the City to take appropriate action, now, to remove the seal and sea lion populations in La Jolla. Stop dragging your feet! Lauren P. Hunter

Enforce City code on short vacation rentals I live on Avenida Cresta in lower Hermosa. A home nearby has recently been converted to a short-term rental in an R1-10 Zone. Last Friday, I witnessed 12 tourists exiting the home with roller bags, filling three large SUVs after staying in a three-bedroom house. They left 10 trash bags behind. I confronted the manager of the local vacation rentals business who told me the company is in total compliance with existing laws. This is not the case. The City Attorney has already ruled short-term rentals in a residential zone is illegal, and a code violation. I was told Mayor Faulconer has instructed the Code Compliance office not to enforce this law. However, we need immediate relief from this intrusion and I demand immediate enforcement. Lawrence Bogle

City Hall, City Hall, Why have you forgotten us? In his letter last week, Mr. Greenman asked Mayor Kevin Faulconer to clean up La Jolla Cove. He posed, “If we were talking about rats, would we have tolerated this problem so long?” There is a precedent in this City for turning over public property to animals. Over the years, City Hall has been turned over to rats, weasels, skunks and snakes. If you expect the Mayor to do something, realize that he is adept at doing nothing. He won’t do a “Faulcon” thing.

To the ANAC committee: Listen to the people! Hopefully, you members of the Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) read last week’s letter written by Gary Wonacott, which appeared in the La Jolla Light newspaper. It speaks directly to the collective frustrations we residents of the San Diego Coastal area feel in regard to the spike in noise from offensive, loud commercial jets flying over our homes at all hours of the day and night, negatively impacting our quality of life. We are instructed by the FAA and ANAC to be good citizens and participate in the democratic process by registering our complaints. This is rather hard to do when your agency continually takes premeditated steps to place obstacles in our path, all the while saying there are no perceptible noise issues. I hope you do not equate the citizenry of La Jolla and Pacific Beach as if this is Roswell, New Mexico and we are all the victims of an alien sighting. The community has registered thousands of

noise complaints and all we receive in return are automatic replies that say “thank you for your feedback.” The information and details we supply appear to be ignored, since there have been no measurable improvements, yet your staff says we should keep registering our complaints. Why and for what purpose? In the meanwhile, your office (ANAC) has changed the noise complaint format form and made it much less user-friendly. Was this intentionally done to reduce the number of complaints? The other deceptive maneuver is the fact that your office now keeps complaint report counts per household rather than per complaint, thus reducing the actual number of complaints recorded. When we are continually dealt with unfairly, it undermines the credibility of your office. We all recognize the differences between Air Force, private prop planes out of Montgomery Field, and the overwhelming number of commercial jets flying overhead in/out of Lindbergh Field at all hours of the day and night. We expect to be dealt with fairly and rationally. These two basic ingredients have been missing from most of the communications we’ve received and read from your office in the past eight months. What is ANAC realistically prepared to do to demonstrate its willingness to cooperate with our communities toward a positive solution to the aircraft noise problem? We would like to see your written response on concrete plans of how these improvements will take place. John Sheridan

Text parameters dictate a poem’s format I wrote the poem below while looking at the sunset from Coast Blvd. Park, near my neighborhood beach, Whispering Sands. I wrote it via text on my cell phone for a friend, so I could share the experience with him. I had to be concise and to the point. I’m 21 years old and a senior studying psychology at Cornell University visiting my parents for the summer.

“Into the Night”

I watched the sun set, before my very eyes it happened so quick I was afraid to miss it. First, an orb. The very same orb that would blind you at midday, became a gentle, luminescent thing, an engagement ring that the smitten day presented to the lovely night. It was a sight to behold As it transformed then into an island, a beautiful haven made entirely of light And it grew smaller, smaller still, until it disappeared with eyes wide open And our silence was the applause A momentary pause Until we disappeared into the night.

La Jolla surfer Jon Roseman gets barreled.

Jon Roseman embodies the La Jolla ‘surfing style’

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: As a world renowned surfing town, La Jolla has its legends of the sea. We’re stoked to bring you their stories in this new summer series.

here’s a heart-shaped, 29-acre island in Fiji by the name of Tavarua that the entire La Jolla surf community is talking about. It’s got great surf, they say, perfect weather and kind people. Plus, the co-founder and co-owner of Tavarua’s all-inclusive resort is one of the most beloved local surfers and the protagonist of this week’s Wave Seekers series, Jon Roseman. “I’m from La Jolla and I started surfing

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

One of Jon Roseman’s greatest surf influences, he said, is La Jolla surfboard shaper Tim Bessell. Pictured is Roseman about to catch some waves on one of Bessell’s creations. pretty adamantly at age 10,” he told La Jolla Light. “At WindanSea, it’s a little more advanced, so I guess I was 12 or 13 when I started sitting on the inside. There was a very

set pecking order back in those days; you had to earn the respect of the older generation, and then, slowly, I earned my place in the lineup.”

Roseman said he considers himself lucky to have grown up in La Jolla. “La Jolla has some incredible waves for California; it’s a really good training ground for surfers. WindanSea, Bird Rock, Little Point, Horseshoe ... there are incredible waves that are very preppy for places like Hawaii or Fiji. The other thing that’s great about La Jolla is that it breeds a lot of style in everyone’s surfing.” When asked what the La Jolla surfing style looks like, Roseman replied, “It’s like grace under pressure. The great surfers that have come out of La Jolla, from way back, like Chris O’Rourke … can ride a really juicy, powerful wave, effortlessly. Like they’re almost doing it while they’re asleep. But at the same time, they’re doing crazy, giant, powerful turns. I like to think that’s what makes a La Jolla surfer stand out from the rest of the world.” Roseman attended La Jolla High School, surfing the waves of WindanSea after class, and though he “never wanted to leave La Jolla ever,” he went to college in Santa Barbara. “I was really fortunate, I had tons of friends that I grew up with in La Jolla, it’s hard to leave that kind of brotherhood.” SEE WAVE SEEKERS, A24

FROM WAVE SEEKERS, A23 He continued traveling, looking for waves all over the map from Mexico to Hawaii. Roseman recalls, “I had a girlfriend from Malibu while I was up at school. We broke up for all sorts of reasons, but the most important reason was that I loved to surf and she didn’t, and because of that breakup, I went to Hawaii. My late friend, the incredible La Jolla surfer David Anderson, and I spent the whole winter there with another couple of Australian friends. I was going to meet them in Australia, but I heard there was an incredible wave in Fiji called Tavarua, basically a surf camp, so I thought, ‘On my way to Australia, I’ll stop by there myself.’ I think it was late 1988 or early 1989, and that was my first time to Fiji.” And that, Roseman said, was the trip that would change everything. “They just had a cyclone, and the waves were terrible (laughs). It was pretty intense, but I still fell in love with it, the Fijians and everything, I didn’t want to leave. I remember the first fun waves I got out of (reef surf break) Cloudbreak. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is it, this is clear paradise.’ You can get like 20 tubes in an hour. It’s mind-blowing. It’s what you dream of your entire life. The waves are like the ones you draw on your schoolbook when you’re falling asleep in class.” Roseman stayed in Fiji as a lifeguard in the then-primitive surf camp. “In 1993, the owners wanted to sell my partner and I, part of the management package of the island, and we were talking about it. ‘Geez, what if we just try to borrow a bunch of

Dividing his life between Fiji and La Jolla, surfer Jon Roseman said he catches waves locally at WindanSea whenever possible. money and try to buy it ourselves?’ So that’s what we did. We borrowed money, we did everything we could, anything to be able to own it. We mortgaged ourselves pretty heavily at that age, which was our early 20s. It was a crazy endeavor back then, because Tavarua, as gorgeous as it is, it’s in a Third World country, and it’s kind of a dichotomy in the sense that it’s paradise, but there’s all these challenges. “We suddenly had some really big Fijian

employees, and we had to earn their respect, learn to deal with the Fijian people, their customs, their rules. “We came up with a concept to ramp up their surf camp and make it into a more user-friendly resort, to have surfers, but also families, kids. And now, about 30 years later, we have second-generation staff, even the villages that surround the island, they’re our families. It’s a big part of the Fijian culture, which is a very social culture. They say,

‘what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine.’ I think that can expand to so many different things.” Through the years, Roseman started several charity programs in Fiji, including the Scripps’ Health Scripps-Fiji alliance. “My dad, David Roseman, who retired from Scripps Hospital, helped me start the Scripps Fiji, providing medical care, education to Fijians, but also bringing Fijians to the United States for advanced treatment of all sorts of cases,” he explained. At age 51, he still surfs at the highest level, and expects to continue “for the next 20 years.” But to do so, he trains with a local instructor. “I work with Jay and May Complete Health. It helps me a lot with confidence, and you get all this extra training that targeted for surfing muscles. For example, last week we had a pretty good swell down in Fiji and we paddled a couple really big waves at Cloudbreak. My arms felt great. I was thanking Jay in the water,” he said. Roseman has a 14-year-old daughter, Helena, who also likes to surf. “It’s really neat,” he shared. “She’s like my little surf buddy now. She’s always like, ‘Dad, take me surfing here and there!’ It’s like a dream come true.” As a surfer who divides his time between Fiji and La Jolla, Roseman often gets the question, “How can you surf in La Jolla after experiencing waves in Fiji?” In those cases, he answers, “I have as much fun surfing at home as I do when I’m in Fiji. The waves are different, but it’s as fun. Home is home, and we’re lucky to grow up in WindanSea and La Jolla, one of the most absolutely beautiful spots in the entire world.”

There is joy in the works of Jon Savage

Bird Rock Coffee Roasters welcomes new artists for August BY JANE WHEELER ird Rock Coffee Roasters Art & Music Collective is showcasing new works from returning Bird Rock artists Chris Lever and Chris Mc Grath, as well as engaging works from two new artists — Jon Savage, with his pop art style, and Luis Ortega, with his spectacular waterscapes in his new “Aquatic” series. The show will be up through Aug. 25 at 5627 La Jolla Boulevard. Stop by and take a look. Savage integrates a positive vibe into his work as highlighted in his artist statement: “My artwork takes a critical view of blending pop art and San Diego; I deconstruct San Diego neighborhoods that are both part of my childhood and adult culture. By incorporating a positive vibe, my work reproduces familiar landmarks by arranging them into digital art. “Often times these themes are combined into installations

that feature stripes as abstract bases on sunrises/sunsets with different color temperatures. The color scheme of a sunrise/sunset establishes a good morning or good night, suggests the notion of good vibe, and formally unifies the disparate objects in each installation. The artworks provide clues to interpret the content.” His website reveals that since “his deaf childhood, Jon has remained passionately devoted to educating deaf people about the linguistic, social, political and cultural issues of the deaf community by traveling across the states and countries.” Savage is known for his commission portraits that incorporate his one-of-a-kind style and flair. — jonsavagegallery.com Ortega is a landscape and aquatic photographer. He studied photo communications at St. Edward’s University and you can find him at WindanSea Beach in La Jolla. In his artist statement he explains: “ ‘Aquatic’ is a

Carol Claus Crawford

November 30, 1938 - July 20, 2017 La JoLLa — a long time member of the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Carol Claus Crawford passed away peacefully July 20, 2017 after battling alzheimer’s disease. Carol was born in alhambra California on Nov. 30, 1938. She attended alhambra High and graduated from Long Beach State. She married Don Hellmers in 1960 and had two sons, David and Michael, the lights of her life. Carol had a long career with Kelly Services before marrying Denis Crawford in 1982. They had a 4-year honeymoon in Venezuela and traveled over much of South america during their

stay in Caracas. Returning to California in 1988, Carol & Denis founded Electrical Systems LTD, which later evolved into ESL Power Systems, Inc. Carol was the President of ESL for 18 years as well as being the ultimate salesperson in

the company. She had the joy of working alongside her two sons for those 18 years as partners. David and Michael now own the company. Carol and Denis retired in 2009 and traveled extensively, finally settling in La Jolla. She is survived by her husband Denis; brother, Roger Claus; son, David Hellmers and wife Christy; son, Michael Hellmers and wife Julie; and children from Denis’s family that loved her like their mother: Michael, David, annika, and Inger. She had 17 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. She is now in heaven with her younger sister Dottie and her younger brother Tracy.

Carol never found anyone that she didn’t like. She was always interested in the lives of others and very loyal to her friends. The light and joy she brought to everyone she met was immeasurable. Carol had a flair for making every day particularly fun and meaningful, just by the smile and laughter she shared with everyone she encountered. We will miss her bright smile, but are much the better for having known her. In lieu in flowers, donations can be sent to The alzheimer’s association in the oC.

celebration of the spectacular scenes and colors we have on our local beaches. In most of this collection, the surfers are often complimentary additions to the spectacular waterscapes that unfold before my eyes. The sheer power and volatility of the ocean makes capturing these images particularly challenging. Nothing stays the same from one second to the next; light and color working in tandem to produce completely different results with each wave that passes by.” — luisortega.photo

Donald Ray Russell 1934 - 2017

La JoLLa — Don Russell passed away in his sleep on March 23, 2017, after a long illness. He was born the oldest of three brothers in Little Rock, aR. His family decided to move to San Diego when the Russell boys, Don, Joe, and Larry were not quite teenagers. Don gravitated to the ocean and quickly began to hang out at Windansea beach, where he made friends with the older surfers who taught him to surf and skin-dive. He attended La Jolla High School, graduated in 1953, and met Darlene Denton there, who would become his wife. Darlene’s father, Ken Denton, was a real estate broker in Pacific Beach, and convinced Don to become a broker.

All systems go! Setting up the Jewel Ball

ere are some fun photos from the set-up for Las Patronas’ 2017 Jewel Ball “Taking Flight,” which landed at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, for one night only, Aug. 5. Provided by Bill Allen, the images show the care and extent to which the community and decor

committee go to create this beloved tradition (in its 71st year) — all in the name of raising funds for people in need. “Taking Flight” took its cues from the Golden Age of luxurious air travel. Look for gala photos from the social-event-of-the-year in next week’s La Jolla Light.

The Model T Stake bed truck was donated to Allen Airways by Joe Hollow prior to its restoration.

For this display case, Jewel Ball chair Jori Fisher, lent her husband’s dapper Delta uniform to add some panache to the Ball’s theme, luxury air travel.

The display cases were created by Claudia Allen using artifacts from the Allen Airways Flying Museum.

The Northwest Airlines fuselage belongs to David Lane, who tracks missing aircraft, finds them, and gives closure to families who have no idea how or where their loved ones' lives ended.

Embracing 70 (especially considering the alternative)

La Jolla Cultural Partners

’ve said this before: 60 may be the new 40, but 70 is still the old 70. Olof and I decided, therefore, that our ideal joint-birthday celebration would be a low-key three-day weekend with kids and grandkids. Amazingly, given everyone’s preponderance of activities, we managed to get everyone here on Olof’s actual 70th birthday. And so, on a beautiful Friday morning in July, the Destroyers of Peace (as Olof fondly refers to our five young grandchildren) showed up en masse with their folks. Trying to keep dishes down, we used enough red Solo cups over the weekend to rival a fraternity kegger. For the record, the only person in the household who has officially turned 70 is Olof. I still get to be a trophy wife for a few more months. My two granddaughters, neither of whom has an actual sister, bonded like long-lost siblings. I adore all five of my grandchildren, but since I only had sons and nephews, I am deliriously happy to finally have little girls in my life. The granddaughters and I collectively decided to wear pearls to dinner, a lovely milestone moment for me. I could just never interest my sons in jewelry. Our pool got a total workout. We initially

felt bad about the noise level on the neighbors until we remembered that this is now the third consecutive summer of jack-hammering and skill-sawing on our poor beleaguered neighbor’s endless remodel project, now in hardscape/landscape mode. Olof wistfully observed that he would love to have had the concrete removal contract at their house. One of the highlights of the weekend was a family Water War in the front yard. A selection of water guns spraying an average of 20 feet were procured, then loaded. It was important that everyone have equal fire power. A bucket of 50 water balloons completed the arsenal. As I was explaining the rules to everyone, Olof opened fire on me from the front porch and got me in the forehead. The grandkids said, “Is he allowed to do that?” From that moment on, it was a free-for-all, which my younger son Henry observed later “was what made it so much fun.” At one point, Rory filled up the water balloon bucket and poured it over my head. Just to make sure no one escaped total saturation, Henry turned on the sprinklers. Decades of conflict dissolved in 30 minutes. I highly recommend it.

Like a lot of grandparents, we keep toys and games at the house for use by the grandkids when they’re here. But who knew that the No. 1 entertainment of the weekend (besides the pool and the water war) would be ... cherry tomatoes. This was actually the first year Olof and I’ve grown tomatoes, cherry or otherwise. The grandkids loved being sent out there to pick them as part of our Friday night dinner. My younger granddaughter was actually eating all of hers leading me to wryly suggest to her father that maybe she had a lycopene deficiency. Looking at her empty bowl, he replied, “Not anymore!” I had a sudden déjà vu to Rory’s movie-making era when he was 10 and he filmed a dramatic short called “Attack of the Killer Cherry Tomatoes” by exploding 10 baskets of cherry tomatoes in my microwave. It definitely killed the microwave, let me tell you. Maybe that’s why I subliminally never grew any. It went without saying that the grandkids picked waaaay more cherry tomatoes than we could possibly use that weekend, but they were having so much fun at it that I just let them have at it. On Sunday morning, they proposed setting up a farm stand just inside our front gate. Not many people walk by our house on a Sunday morning, so I doubted they’d have a single customer. When I went out to check on them a little later, I was somewhat surprised to see $6 in their jar. Veterans of farmers markets with their parents, they were adept at touting the nutritional benefits of the tomatoes: home grown in our own garden! Totally organic! Just picked this morning!

market tradition, they were offering free samples. Where I was a little aghast was to learn that they were selling these cherry tomatoes for 16-cents each. How they arrived at that number, I have no idea. They weren’t old enough to have the math skills to total up the sale in their heads and didn’t even have change. I think what happened was that people came by, gave them a dollar, and the kids handed them a baggie of cherry tomatoes. So I want to say thank you to all the nice people who bought cherry tomatoes at extortionate prices from my grandchildren. I hope you enjoyed them. Because believe me, there isn’t a cherry tomato left in our garden. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar faces to bring you their stories.

Great! I went to La Jolla Elementary, Muirlands and La Jolla High, and the store was such a powerful force in our family life. My parents shared an office and worked together throughout their lives. I know sometimes my dad might get tired of talking about the store, but it was fun to talk about the funny things that happened, and if you’re in retail, you have to have sense of humor, because strange and weird things happen all the time.

o describe Nancy Warwick in one word, that word would be “determined.” Other adjectives that suit the owner of La Jolla’s oldest bookstore — Warwick’s at 7812 Girard Ave. — are “strong,” “opinionated” and “sweet.” She’s the force behind trying to keep an independent book retail store in the era of technology afloat, and she will persist in the challenge. She speaks dearly of her staff, some of whom have worked for her for more than 20 years.

Nancy Warwick so after 20 years in Minnesota he moved to Iowa. Twenty years later, his wife passed away, and his sister was living in La Jolla, so in the 1930s, he moved the store to La Jolla. At that point he was quite elderly. Both my parents were born and raised in the Bay Area. My father was pursuing graduate studies in biology when his parents decided they were going to retire, and they asked him if he would be interested in taking over the store.

Where are you from?

I was born in Austin, Texas because my dad was going to grad school there.

What’s the history behind Warwick’s Bookstore?

When did you move to La Jolla?

This is a family business, and we’re the oldest continuing family operated bookstore in the United States. My great-grandfather started the store in 1896. He first opened in Minnesota, but he was actually born in Iowa,

My father moved to La Jolla in 1964, when I was age 2. We rented a house in University City for two years, and then they found the house in Muirlands, where my mother still lives. My father passed away 10 years ago.

ENDLY

When did you take over the bookstore?

My parents never put any pressure on us to take over the store. My dad always thought I would become a school teacher, and my sister became a school teacher. And the other thing they did is, even though they didn’t pressure us, they made the store feel like it was our store, too, from a young age. They really valued getting our opinions on how to handle situations, products that came in, and they included us in all the stories all the time. So the store became part of my identity. When the opportunity came up for me to take over the store (my parents unexpectedly announced they were going to retire when my dad was 65 in 1997), I was in my final year, finishing my dissertation for a Ph.D. in anthropology at UCLA. My husband was working, and we had just had Zachary, our son, and so I had a newborn, and I was working on my dissertation.

I wasn’t expecting it to come up. I wasn’t prepared to make that decision and knew that I had to. It was a major life change. But we did it and it’s been a really good move for us, because I just love the store. I actually never had a business course, but I’ve always had a very good instinct for the store and have great employees.

What were some funny stories that happened in the shop?

We used to have a customer come in with a Standard Poodle, and the Standard Poodle would be off-leash wandering around, and if he wanted to find his owner, he would get up on his hind legs, start walking around like a circus dog, trying to look over the counters. My grandmother was a force. She worked until she was 98 years old. I had the pleasure of working with my grandfather, he died in the 1970s, but I had a few years where I could work with him because we all used to come in on Sundays when the store was closed and catch up on things. Basically, my sister and I would just play in the store. But my grandparents and parents were here, and we would sneak out books that we really shouldn’t have been reading at that age.

What changes have you implemented?

We had Hallmark cards for over 40 years. The first big change I made when I took over

was to sell other card lines. I’d become aware, living in LA, that there were many other card companies out there. So I made the change and it was very successful. I really appreciated that even though my parents felt very strongly about not dropping Hallmark, they supported me.

What do you do for fun?

My husband and I are really quiet people, so we really enjoy our home. I have a big garden and we enjoy the garden a lot. I love cooking, I read a lot, and I’m pet crazy. I have four cats and two dogs. Apart from that, we’re both passionate about collecting ethnic art. On my first date with my husband, when I got to his apartment I discovered he had ethnic art all over, which I’d loved since I was a little girl. Back then, we emphasized Latin American folk art, but over the years we’ve collected Asian and African art. We’re very passionate about it. We also love to travel and hike. We were in Patagonia in April.

Where do you get your love for animals?

We always had a dog growing up, but I’ve always loved animals. I still have all my stuffed animals! When I was little, my dream was to be a dog-breeder someday. I had all these posters of dogs in my room. I was crazy about dogs, and I still am. I have two Poodles.

How many books do you read?

It varies a little bit, but for the past half-year, it would be one book every 10 days to two weeks. It’s not a huge amount, but you know, I’m working (laughs). I love literary fiction and books where the story takes place in another country. I also like

like pretty clothes. There’s a number of stores up and down Girard Avenue that have great dresses.

What’s the secret to recommending books?

How has La Jolla changed over the years?

There’s an art to hand-selling: Find out what book someone has read and really enjoyed, or if they already have something in mind, or if they’re looking for something similar to a favorite book.

How do you choose your attire?

I like to shop local. I like unusual clothes, but not so trendy that I can only wear them one season. I love dresses and skirts, and I

It’s gotten really run down with the trash and the broken sidewalks, but this will change dramatically with the new Maintenance Assessment District.

Also, it will help reduce our storefront vacancy problem, because the other big change in La Jolla is the huge amount of vacancies in The Village. It’s so sad that we lost Burns Drugs next door (to

Warwick’s) because there was a very symbiotic relationship between the two stores. It’s hard to fill these huge retail spaces.

What’s something about you people don’t know?

People would be surprised to learn that I’m a very introverted person and I really enjoy quiet time. I never speak to the person beside me in an airplane if I can help it — I open my book so fast, and I’m sending out all the signals! So yeah, I’m just a shy, introverted person, although at the store I come across as a more extroverted person than I really am. But I’m really bad at small talk.

The Pride of Ownership

La Jolla resident has three restored vintage cars

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.

y the time La Jolla resident Bill Roper was a toddler back home in Mississippi, he was the family car authority. A self-proclaimed car nut, he fondly retells a story from his youth in which his expertise was tested. “My dad and granddad would take me into town and I would just name every car on the road. I’ll never forget, one time I was driving with my mom and dad and I spotted and identified a parked Buick. My mom said, ‘No, that’s an Oldsmobile.’ I said, ‘No, it’s a Buick,’ and told my dad to turn around. I

insisted he turn around and he finally did. We pulled up, and sure enough, it was a Buick. From then on, I was the car expert of the family,” he said. “I just love cars. It’s just one of those things that sticks with you.” Now, as an adult, Roper takes pride in owning classic cars and is currently in possession of a 1941 Ford Woody super deluxe station wagon, a 1955 Chevy Nomad and a 1960s Shelby Cobra. He purchased the cars fully restored and maintains extensive notebooks on their ownership and the work that was done on them. “I like looking at the history behind the cars. Who took someone on a first date in this car? Who raised their family in this car? Who went joyriding in it? Where did they go? What family trips did they take in it?” he said. In researching his Ford Woody, he learned that the 1941 version he owns was the last model made with an entire body fashioned from wood (later models had a metal frame and topped with wood or wood-looking material). He said at the time, the car was expensive, so the owner was typically wealthy, and would own the car only until it started to need work. “They would own it for a year or year-and-a-half, and then sell it because the roof would leak or the wood would rot. The second owner would drive it more (because it was already had some dings and cracks),” he explained. “By the time it got to the third owner, the car wasn’t worth much money, so it was often bought by surfers. That’s why these have the association of being a surf car. The first thing the surfers would do was remove the third row of seats so they could fit their surfboards.” However, Roper’s car had three owners, but everything (including the back row) was intact. “Kids love them, old people love them, girls love them. It’s just a great car. I always wanted one and when we moved here

(from Texas in 1990) I set out to find one,” he said. The 1955 Chevy Nomad, considered a sporty station-wagon, is one of only a few thousand made that year. Around that time, the Chevy Nomad station wagon had four doors, were of a boxy, utilitarian body style, and were considered a family car. Roper’s ’55 model however, was styled like a coupe with two doors, a new body style and a more powerful engine. “It was the first time Chevy had a V8 engine. Plus, no one had ever seen anything like the two-door. They only sold a few thousand of them. Chevy sold a million cars total in that one year, this was a few thousand total,” he said. A reliable and comfortable driver, Roper said he drives it around town occasionally, and tends to get raised eyebrows when he does. “Anybody my age appreciates it, but younger people don’t see it as flashy and wouldn’t know what that is. You take a Baby Boomer, and they know what it is, how rare it is, and they appreciate it,” he said.

His third car, which he calls a very special car, is the 1960s Shelby Cobra. “It’s all engine,” he said. “They are impractical for just about anything except racing, showing, enjoying and getting into trouble.” When it came to car manufacturing, mid-1960s were considered the “horsepower years,” the “pony car years” and the “muscle car years” because American manufacturers put big engines in small cars. As such, cars like Roper’s Cobra are lightweight, fast and powerful. “I can drive around town, but if you drive it for more than a few hours, you’d be worn out. I don’t drive it to draw attention, but it does draw attention. Because it’s red and loud, people always look. It stops traffic everywhere and it will set off car alarms in

parked cars,” he said. Although he admits he doesn’t drive the cars “as much as I should,” he does start them up occasionally to keep the parts lubricated, and sometimes shows them in shows such as the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance. And for Roper, that is enough. “A lot of people enjoy buying them and/or restoring them. Some people just like driving them. Some people like showing them. But I just like owning them,” he said. “I don’t want my material possessions to be something that’s important to me, because you can’t take them with you and a fire or flood or financial troubles could take them away. So don’t get hung up on them, but that being said … while I’m in a position that I can have them, I enjoy them.”

MOXIE has new artistic leader at helm of 13th season FROM MOXIE REPORTS Founded in 2004 by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, Jo Anne Glover, Jennifer Eve Thorn and Liv Kellgren, MOXIE has been producing award-winning theater written and generated by women for nearly 12 years. They’ve brought 52 productions to San Diego stages from their headquarters in the Rolando neighborhood, near San Diego State University, at 6663 El Cajon Blvd. MOXIE’s mission has stayed the same since the beginning: to create more diverse and honest images of women for our culture, and it won’t be changing any time soon. It may come as a surprise to San Diego audiences that MOXIE has been planning a change of the guard leading up to its 13th season for some time. “That has always been the plan,” said the founders, “to see the company change artistic hands.” Co-founder Thorn has stepped into the role of Artistic Director. “We were very clear when we chose to found MOXIE, that our goal was to build something our community needed that would be strong enough to live on past its founders,” said Turner Sonnenberg. “It was never about us, it was about the mission and this mission is bigger than us. This is the first changing of the guard and we hope that every woman who steps into the role of Artistic Director at MOXIE, will pass the company forward stronger than she found it. And it’s with that confidence that I pass the wheel to my sister, Jennifer Eve Thorn, who is primed and ready to lead MOXIE into its next decade.” Sonnenberg isn’t the only shift happening at MOXIE. Glover is also transitioning out of her role as development director. As these two founders shift into roles on the MOXIE Advisory Board, consisting of other arts leaders in San Diego, new MOXIEs step forward to lead the way, including Christine Nathanson, Callie Prendeville Johnston and production manager Nicole Ries. “I am so grateful for the leadership that Delicia and Jo Anne have brought to MOXIE and to the San Diego Community. They are more than my business partners,

Sept. 17-Oct 22. At a bus stop in a run-down New Jersey town, Darja, a Polish immigrant cleaning lady, is done talking about feelings; it’s time to talk money. Spanning over 20 years, three relationships, and three presidents, Darja negotiates for her future. A darkly funny, heartbreaking portrait of a woman for whom love is a luxury — and a liability — as she fights to survive in America.

■ “The Diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, adapted by Wendy Kesselman, directed by Kym Pappas, Nov. 11-Dec. 17. Anne Frank emerges from history in this adaptation as a living and impassionaed young girl on the edge of womanhood. Anne confronts the horror of her time with honesty, determination and hope. One of the most moving true stories ever told, Anne’s diary speaks today as clearly as ever and holds a message for all generations.

Co-founder Jennifer Eve Thorn has stepped into the role of Artistic Director at MOXIE Theatre. they’re my sisters, that’s why they aren’t allowed to go far,” said Thorn. “They will be directing and acting in our upcoming season. I’ll need their support as I step forward. But I am ready to lead. The three of us have talked about this moment for years now, and the time feels right. I have some fiercely intelligent women who are ready to be a part of the future of MOXIE and to lead this organization forward alongside me.” The new season is themed “Why We Persist” with these four productions: ■ “Ironbound” by Martyna Majok, directed by Thorn,

■ “Bliss (or Emily Post is Dead)” by Jami Brandli, directed by Turner Sonnenberg, Jan. 28-Feb 25, 2018. It’s 1960 in North Orange, New Jersey. Clytemnestra and Medea are now housewives with a pill addiction, and Antigone is the teenage girl next door. Will they follow Emily Post’s famous guide to etiquette or will Cassandra, a black working girl determined to break the curse of Apollo, convince them they now have a choice? ■ “The Madres” by Stephanie Alison Walker, directed by Thorn, May 13-June 10, 2018. Josefina’s daughter, Carolina, has been protesting in the plaza again. If Carolina keeps wearing the white scarf and searching for her own missing daughter, Belen, they’ll all be in danger. An award-winning and empowering new play about three generations of women based on the true story of the “Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo,” who searched for their missing loved ones during 1979’s “Dirty War” in Argentina. — ON THE WEB: More at moxietheatre.com

Over at the Shores, leopard sharks swim in shallow water just off the Marine Room restaurant. They won’t bite you; they like only clams and small invertebrates that they can find along the sandy bottom. On top of the water, there should still be some whales visible from shore — blue whales, the largest living animal, can be seen fairly close by — their spout is vigorous and tall, and can be seen from far off. Of course, there are endless sea lion and seal watching opportunities along the

FROM MUSEUMS, B1

9. Linda Caballero Sotelo, New Americans Museum (Liberty Station)

Linda Caballero Sotelo was appointed Executive Director of the New Americans Museum in 2014, when NAM, originally founded by Deborah Szekely in 2001 to honor the immigrant experience, had been closed for over four years. “We called it our ‘reawakening,’ ” said Sotero, whose resumé includes being CEO of San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and project director of the trans-border arts festivals InSITE97 and InSITE2000. “We came in with re-energized purpose, immigrant leadership and thoughtful visual arts programming to support storytelling in our spaces and ‘beyond-walls,’ and we’ve hosted more than 30,000 visitors to date,” she said. She is proudest of the way NAM handled an incident last Thanksgiving when their signs were defaced with anti-immigrant graffiti: They went public, inviting passersby to share their feelings about the hate crime on a Free Speech Wall. “The response was overwhelming, and it really made our purpose come to life,” she said. “It galvanized our community to stand up for us, a small museum with big dreams of fostering tolerance among all Americans.” — Find the New Americans Museum at 2825 Dewey Road in Liberty Station, Point Loma and online at newamericansmuseum.org

10. Carolyn Grant, Museum of Making Music

Carolyn Grant became MoMM’s Executive Director in 2001, having worked there since 1998. Devoted to the museum’s mission of preserving the history of musical instruments and giving visitors opportunities to try music-making for themselves, she praised “the staff and volunteers who see this mission through every day with their commitment to creating a welcoming environment for our audiences.” — Find the Museum of Making Music at 5790 Armada Drive in Carlsbad, and online at museumofmakingmusic.org

11. Megan Pogue, Timken Museum of Art

After 12 years as vice-president of business development at San Diego Symphony, Megan Pogue took the helm of the Timken in 2015. Since then, she has established a new infrastructure for the museum and made progress in “visitor engagement.” “The Timken has gone from a small, static and staid 52-year-old organization to an ever-changing, vibrant community resource with multimedia exhibitions and family activities,” she said. — Find the Timken Museum of Art at 1500 El Prado in Balboa Park, and online at timkenmuseum.org

12. Diane Peabody Straw, Women’s Museum of California

In 2016, after serving as funds development chair for the Women’s Museum and doing freelance event planning and marketing, Diane Peabody Straw

became the museum’s Executive Director. She is proud of the team she has developed. “The talented women who work here are dedicated, strong, and most importantly, supportive of each other,” she said. “I know that because of them, the Museum has a bright future ahead.” — Find the Women’s Museum of California at 2730 Historic Decatur Road at Liberty Station, Point Loma and online at womensmuseumca.org

13. Erika Torri, Athenaeum Music & Arts Library

Although the Athenaeum is not formally a museum, it is definitely an important exhibition space, and after 26 years as Executive Director, Erika Torri is the longest-term female director of all. Born in Germany, she was an assistant librarian at a Boston junior college in the mid-1960s, who became an award-winning weaver of miniatures, as well as a librarian. She was library director at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCASD) in the late 1980s, and then moved over to the Athenaeum, becoming Executive Director in 1991. Among her proudest achievements are starting a renowned collection of Artists’ Books, introducing a wide range of art and music programming, beginning and growing an Endowment Fund, and “making the Athenaeum a lively, welcoming place.” — Find the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library at 1008 Wall St. in La Jolla and online at ljathenaeum.org

SPONSORED COLUMNS STEPHEN PFEIFFER, PH.D. Clinical Psychologist 858.784.1960

You Can’t Handle the Truth Disagreement, especially the political kind, proves to be less about values than about the veracity of facts. Rather than accommodating our way of thinking to the discovery of new information, we have a tendency to cling even further to those old beliefs, in light of that new and potentially contradictory information. Confirmation Bias I have previously described the psychological phenomenon called confirmation bias— psychologically, we favor information that confirms what we already believe. Any data contrary to those beliefs will be disregarded or labeled false. Confirmation bias is responsible for those

filter bubbles, the places we have, especially online, that reaffirm our beliefs. It is easier to remain unchallenged if we surround ourselves only with people who share in those same beliefs. However, new research shows that there may be something else at work other than confirmation bias. If confirmation bias were the only cause of polarization, then all we would have to do to remove confirmation bias is to stay open to facts and information that challenges our deeply-held notions of the way things should be, the way things work. Desirability Bias The new study by Ben Tappin, Leslie Van der Leer, and Ryan McCay show signs of a “desirability bias” people have for information collection. An easy way to think of it is telling people what they want to hear and have them believing it because they want it to be true. This behavior is separate from believing something to be true. The study consisted of polling 900 voters a month before the election. Half were supporters of Hillary Clinton and half supported Donald Trump. The survey asked

both which candidate the voters supported and which one they thought would actually win. About half of the people polled thought that the candidate they supported wasn’t likely to win, which was true for each candidate. This meant that these voters were able to separate their desires from their beliefs. The research took a turn, however, when presented with new polling results. For the voters presented with favorable results for their desired candidate, they suddenly merged that new information into their beliefs, and overwhelmingly believed their candidate would now win. However, the voters who received unfavorable evidence about their candidate barely changed their beliefs on whether that candidate would go on to win. What this means for researchers was a bias toward desirable information. The voters wanted the information to be true, and so they incorporated that new “evidence” into their beliefs, modifying their beliefs to ﬁt their desires. What This Means for Creating a Consensus

It’s difficult to say how much further opposing viewpoints will become entrenched. If political polarization is grounded in conflicting desires rather than conflicting beliefs, then it will be difficult to bridge that divide. We are often threatened by change, especially when we perceive change as a threat to our way of life or a personal attack on our lifestyle. Therefore, a different way of thinking has to emerge, but in this current psychological system, that change cannot be imposed by an outside source—we must want that change for ourselves. Personal attacks may only serve to make us cling to want we want to believe. Perhaps the real work will be not only to create exposure to a variety of viewpoints and facts but to appeal to the emotional, human side, in order to create the desire to at least be open to new information. Because if facts continue to become enmeshed with emotions, then the power of anything like an objective fact may otherwise become irrelevant, making common, neutral ground nearly impossible.

Beverage Embellishments, I’ll Drink to That! “Happiness is … finding two olives in your martini when you’re hungry.” — Johnny Carson

oth cocktails and mocktails will taste even more intoxicating when creatively accessorized. Whether garnished with a fresh herb, a citrus peel, a fruit wedge, or a kitschy trinket the artistry will create a tropical aura transporting you to a vacation paradise. I received a call from an old friend wanting to share some exciting news about her upcoming trip to Maui with her daughter, who had won first prize in a cocktail garnishing contest. She carved a jaw-dropping Amazon Parrot from the husk of a fresh pineapple and perched it on the rim of a Bird of Paradise cocktail. So here’s a Drink Décor 101 primer for aspiring mixologists. Aloha and cheers!

be topped off with a trendy grilled treat like a shrimp or vegetable skewer placed crosswise over the opening of the glass, a buffalo wing or crispy candied bacon slice dangling over the edge, or a chunky twist of a bratwurst or sausage hugging the rim.

On the Edge: To make any drink pop with a panache of color, texture and flavor, coat the glass rim with a rainbow of superfine sugar, Technicolor salts, dark cocoa powder, crushed honey graham crackers or biscotti. Simply spread the granular garnish on a flat plate, and moisten the rim with an orange or lemon wedge. Either invert the glass onto the plate or turn it on its side and rotate until the entire rim is trimmed.

The Spice of Life: Sprinkle some potent spices on top for an oomph of flavor and color like golden turmeric, musky cumin and mustard seeds, smoky paprika, fragrant nutmeg or cinnamon, or zippy fresh grated ginger. Fresh herbs add an aromatic tang and splash of eye candy to assorted drinks. Mint not only awakens the senses, but also aids digestion and perks up memory. Toss some bright green leaves into a tall chilled glass of lemonade or iced tea, whip up a mint julep, or a raspberry mint spritzer. The distinct piney fragrance of rosemary and its sturdy construction make it a natural for a stirring stick or harpoon for berries or olives, while delicate sprigs of thyme infuse a minty lemon essence to herbal teas, sparkling waters, agua frescas or vodka cocktails. Beautiful green-leafed basil as fragrant as it is brilliantly-hued enlivens rhubarb bellinis or margaritas, strawberry slushes, acacia honey limeades, or even a simple pitcher of ice water.

Grilled Garnishes: Especially during barbecue season, savory and spicy drinks can

Your Best Buds: Culinary flowers — especially vibrantly colored nasturtiums,

sunny calendulas, fragrant fennel bulbs, pink, red or white baby roses, delicate pansies, mauve lavender petals, lilacs and hibiscus flowers — will transform any drink into a tropical treat. But steer clear of daffodils, lilies of the valley, azaleas, and oleanders that are unsafe to eat. A New Twist: Some classics including wedges and spiral zests from lemons, limes and oranges add pops of pigment and zesty citrus oil to assorted drinks. For some fun and modern garnishes float pomegranate seeds on top, or hang chunks or slices of exotic fruit from the lip of the glass like perfume-pulped cherimoya, Buddha’s hand, pitaya (dragon fruit), or assorted hot and sweet peppers. Stalk-in-Trade: Green olives, pearl onions and crispy celery stalks with leaves intact have been a bartender’s staple garnish for cocktails like the Bloody Mary, Martini and Gibson. For a change-up, try heirloom carrot sticks in shades of yellow and purple, jicama strips, Persian cucumber spears, or rainbow radish flowers. Cherry on Top: The super sweet, glow-in-the-dark maraschino cherry commercially bleached, soaked in high fructose corn syrup, then dyed in neon shades of crimson, orange and green is a signature garnish for everything from Shirley Temples to Adam and Eve Martinis. The original maraschino with delightful fruity and nutty nuances was a painstaking work of art from Croatia and northern Italy using the marasca cherry marinated in maraschino liqueur. You can concoct your own maraschinos (alcohol-free) so the whole family can enjoy this little darling to top ice cream sundaes and a variety of drinks with a burst of natural flavors and colors.

Homemade Maraschino Cherries ■ Ingredients: 1 pound of cherries (red variety, pitted, stems intact); 1/2-cup red or purple fruit juice (cranberry, pomegranate, grape); juice from 2 lemons; 1-cup filtered water; peel from 1 orange or tangerine; 1 cinnamon stick; 1/2 teaspoon almond extract; 1-cup brown sugar ■ Method: In a large saucepan, add water, juices, sugar, rinds and flavorings. Bring to a boil, then simmer 10 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Add cherries. Cool to room temperature, then pour cherries and juice in mason jars. Refrigerate 3 days before using. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

There are hardwood floors, sliding doors onto the back yard, a sauna and steam room, and separate children’s wing, fireplaces in the family room and living room, and a large chef’s kitchen with oversized central island opening onto a wonderful family room. There are ceiling fans, a laundry chute from the master bedroom, an excellent site for a housekeeper’s bedroom, handmade floor to ceiling cabinets in the lower level master bedroom and low maintenance front and back yards.
