Citing home’s scale, planners table Hidden Valley project BY ASHLEY MACKIN During an otherwise short meeting of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) Aug. 4 at La Jolla Rec Center, residents and trustees debated the Jones Residence project in the Hidden Valley area for more than an hour. Grappling with everything from community concerns to parliamentary procedures, the board ultimately decided to continue the discussion at its September meeting. Requesting a Site Development Permit and Coastal Development Permit to demolish a 1,961-square-foot single-family residence and construct a new 4,975-square-foot split-level single-family residence with attached garage and pool at 2315 Rue De Anne, Brian Will presented SEE PLANNING, A7

Looks like mid-October for Sammy’s re-opening BY ASHLEY MACKIN Although Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza owner Sami Ladeki hoped for a June 15 re-opening for his Pearl Street restaurant following a 2015 fire, it now looks like La Jollans will have to wait until mid-October. As the restaurant undergoes a renovation, Ladeki said it’s taking longer than expected to bring it up to modern building codes. As previously reported in the Light, the restaurant at 702 Pearl St. was the first of the now 17 Sammy’s locations. It suffered smoke and water damage following a fire over Labor Day weekend in 2015. Officials determined the cause to

be accidental; it started in the kitchen stove hood. Damage is estimated at $150,000 to the building and $50,000 to the restaurant’s contents. Ladeki said a lot has changed in terms of city building code standards since the restaurant opened in 1989. “All the fire-related issues have been settled, so now it’s just getting the building up to code, which is taking longer than we thought. We’re cleaning it up, making it fresher and nicer, and changing up the menu,” he said. “We have a beautiful new burger, and will have more small plates and tacos, as well as more Peruvian-inspired food.”

Library’s new middle-school club critiques yet-to-be published works BY ASHLEY MACKIN Middle school-aged readers based out of La Jolla Riford Library are taking a chance on something new by participating in a hybrid book-club-meets-focus-group, using Kindle e-readers to open up a world of unpublished books. The pilot session checked out their Kindles and chose their books on July 30. Library branch manager Shaun Briley partnered with Net Galley to launch the program. The firm connects publishers with readers to gather feedback on pre-published works. This is the first time Net Galley has worked with a public library to offer access to this age group, and the students are expected to provide feedback on the books they read. They are using re-purposed old-model e-readers without Internet access. Briley explained, “The middle-schoolers can peruse books that have not been published, but which are marketed for their age group, select the ones they want to read on their own time, wherever they like, and post their reviews and comments. “It’s a whole re-imagining of the book club. We’re trying to get the focus back on reading without forcing them to all read the same thing and come together as a group and share their opinions aloud in front of their peers in some 19th century model of what they should be doing.” The participants access the works through the Kindle they check out from the library — which has been programmed to only view Net Galley accounts and select texts —

and provide comments along the way. “This is an age group that wants to feel their view is important, and through this group, they get the excitement of reading something before it has come out, and they get to see what’s coming up and pick what titles they want to read. The whole idea was to make it new and interesting,” Briley said. Sasha Moscona, 13, a student at Muirlands
Middle School, said she wanted to be part of the club because she loves to read, but sometimes finds she wishes things ended differently in books. She is reading and reviewing “Spontaneous,” by Aaron Starmer. “So far, the book has been hilarious. I love the mystery … and the main character’s ‘voice’ because it didn’t seem fake. On the other hand, I noted that I didn’t particularly
like one character who had a history and friendship with the main character. I disliked getting to know a nice person and then not having them more present in the story,” she said. “Hopefully, the author gets my review, as I thought my critique was accurate.” Sasha said she chose the book because of its cover art and the title, “Apparently, I totally judge books by their covers!” Brooke FitzCluster, an 11-year-old student at Stella Maris Academy, said she was interested in the group because publishers expressed interest in her opinions. “I’m glad I get to help publishers by giving my thoughts on books they are considering,” she said. The book she chose is “The French Impressionist,” by Rebecca Bischoff, because of the cover art and the fact that the story takes place in France. “It’s one of my favorite places in the world,” she said. “I’m so excited to be part of this fantastic reading group and I’m grateful the La Jolla Library helped make this program happen. It’s been great!” Although the club is in its infancy, there is already a waiting list. It is limited to 25 participants because the library has 25 Kindles, Briley said. “We’re going to base (rotation) on the number of sign-ups. If we get loads of people, we will cycle people out and bring new people in. We’ll give everyone a chance,” he said. Those interested in signing up for the wait-list may call the library at (858) 552-1657 or stop by 7555 Draper Ave. lajollalibrary.org

NEW BUSINESS ROUNDUP BY ASHLEY MACKIN This summer, La Jolla welcomed two new businesses with a focus on health and beauty: La Jolla’s Little Vitamin Shop and Kristals Cosmetics. In September, two more businesses are set to open: A fried chicken and doughnut restaurant, and an interior design firm with a retail component. ■ La Jolla’s Little Vitamin Shop: After years of working in a performance enhancement supply store and a short-lived career in body building, La Jolla resident Carla Parra opened La Jolla’s Little Vitamin Shop in July at 1115 Wall St. to provide nutritional supplements and healthier alternatives to typical performance enhancers. “I only carry stuff I would take myself,” she said from her micro-shop across from the Wall Street Post Office. “Over the years (in this industry) you get exposed to a lot and become very knowledgeable. When people came in (to my former store) and asked me what I take and what I thought of products, sometimes I would have to tell them, ‘I think they are terrible’ because there may be short-term benefits, but in the long-term, they could be detrimental.” Everything Parra provides is GMO-free, hormone-free or vegan proteins, and void of chemicals or dyes, she said. “I wanted to open this shop because I can ask the right questions to help people find what they need in respect to their goals — whether that be to get in shape or lose weight or whatever, and help them avoid what they don’t need.” In addition to exercise enhancers, the shop carries vitamins, probiotics, nutritional supplements and more. And for those who don’t know whether these nutrients might benefit them, Parra is on hand to answer questions. She explained that she chose La Jolla for her storefront because she wanted to be closer to her son, who is battling a health condition. “Being here is healthy for him, so it drove

A website is in the works, but in the meantime, Parra advises customers to come by 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. A grand opening is planned for Thursday, Sept. 1 throughout the day with specials and giveaways. (858) 291-8889. ■ Kristals Cosmetics: Drawing from the healing powers of gemstones, Kristals Cosmetics opened in June at 7802 Girard Ave. to provide crystal-based skincare. According to the business’ website, the serums, lotions and creams “bring you concentrations of precious and semiprecious gemstones and metals known to create protective fields around the
■ StreetCar Merchants: Planned for the former Amici’s Pizza site (811 Prospect St.), StreetCar Merchants of Fried Chicken, Doughnuts and Coffee is anticipating a September opening to offer fried chicken, Southern specialties, doughnuts (and other breakfast essentials) and high-end coffee. Owner Ron Suel said the La Jolla location will be more of a “lux version” of his North Park location. “La Jolla was always part of our strategy, we feel the area is underserved in what we do,” he said. “For doughnut shops, there aren’t a lot of options and we also want to provide Southern classic plates.” Menu staples include three types of fried chicken, handcrafted doughnuts made with seasonal ingredients (and the occasional cereal inspiration) and Louisiana favorites such as fresh-baked biscuits and baked mac-n-cheese, frog legs, Crawfish etouffee, and chicken pot pies. But for La Jolla, Suel said, StreetCar Merchants will be “heavy on brunch” to include waffles, pancakes and French toast. The coffee program, he added, will feature Intelligentsia coffee. “What we saw lacking in La Jolla was a high-end coffee shop on Prospect Street, so we are going to offer a full coffee bar with espresso drinks and cold brews.” But in the end, “It’s soul food all the way up and down,” he said.

tentative map waiver for the conversion of three existing dwelling units to three residential condominium units at 7432, 7434 and 7436 Fay Ave. DPR provided, as part of its findings, several reasons to deny the conversion, including: the proposal is inconsistent with neighborhood development pattern that is predominately two units per property/parcel, there are too many unknowns regarding potential new development and its effects on neighborhood character, and more. ■ Pulled for review: Although additional items may be pulled before the next meeting, one item was already moved for full review in September: the Cardenas Residence project. Applicants request a Site Development Permit and Coastal Development Permit to demolish a 3,113-square-foot single-family residence and construct a new 6,698-square-foot single-family residence with attached garage at 8466 El Paseo Grande in La Jolla Shores. When heard at PRC, it was determine findings could be made for the requested documents. ■ UCSD working group: At the September meeting, a working group of UC San Diego planners and LJCPA members will make their first report. With an inaugural meeting set for Aug. 24, Greatrex explained, “The purpose is to understand development on the campus as part of the 2018 Long Range Development plan (and report back). We’ll continue to report on a regular basis.”
the project. Will is also a LJCPA trustee and La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) member. The project has gone through several design revisions, with neighbors and the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) examining the project at each stage. In May, Will presented the most recent design to area residents and the PRC, who approved the plans pending an updated soils report. PRC gave final approval in July, 4-1-1. Insisting the design would preserve neighbor privacy, not cast an inconvenient shadow at any time of day and be set back far enough into the adjacent hillside to minimize the perceived bulk and scale, Will said the proposed development was “almost hidden” from the street and surrounding residents. Will said the plans meet all the requirements of the San Diego Municipal Code and the area design guidelines. Showing homes that have had “major work” over the last 35 years, Will offered a comparison chart indicating the planned Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of his development and of surrounding properties, and said other area homes are bigger by FAR than what he is proposing. However, land-use attorney Julie Hamilton, representing neighbors opposed to the project, argued that just because it is the smallest by FAR, does not mean it is the smallest house on the street. “This home is too big and out of character with Rue de Anne,” she said. Hamilton added that two houses on that street are on historic registries, one of which

LJCPA trustee Bob Steck said the item was pulled from the agenda only a few days
before the meeting, and that “90 percent of the time when that happens, it (is heard) the following month.” He said, “By hearing it this month, the opposition was only given a few days to create a presentation. It’s a fairness issue.” LJCPA Chair Cindy Greatrex explained cases like this are a matter of discretion, and because there was a short agenda in August, she decided to add the item. However, because the board could not come to a majority decision, the discussion was postponed until September.
In other LJCPA news: ■ Map waiver denied: Convinced by the findings of La Jolla’s DPR committee, LJCPA quickly ratified the recommendation to deny a Coastal Development Permit and

Playhouse’s ‘Junk’ worth a bundle of life lessons
A
mong all the honest and knowledgeable financial traders in America, there are greedy wolves waiting in the background to pounce and seduce investors into their schemes. La Jolla Playhouse’s world premiere of “Junk: The Golden Age of Debt,” by Ayad Akhtar and directed by Doug Hughes, tackles the topic with intrigue and humor. It’s 1985 and the wolves are out there to scam whomever they can. Enter Robert Merkin (Josh Cooke) shadowing the real-life Michael Robert Milken, a former financier and philanthropist convicted in 1989 of racketeering, securities fraud and insider trading. Merkin plans to use investors to take over a devalued conglomerate and then maneuver the stock through junk bonds. Cooke pulls off this character with the gravitas of a push-to-the-end bond trader. Annika Boras is great as Robert’s wife, Amy, with all the approve/don’t approve actions a wife might have about her husband’s deals. I think many of the females in the audience could identify with her character.
David Rasche as Leo Tresler, comes across as a real rascal. He’s loaded with money he’s used to help him get his way in any situation. His hope is that journalist Judy Chen (Jennifer Ikeda) — who might have some dirt on him — will accept his high-dollar offer to forget what she wants to write. Ikeda stands tall in her portrayal of Chen in keeping the audience in suspense to the outcome. The simple set design of what looks like cubicles, gives a stage to other buyers and sellers, lawyers, and even union workers who come and go – argue, plead their case, threaten and make promises they cannot keep. The drama shines a spotlight on today’s financial debt worldwide and how it has impacted almost everyone due to wavering interest rates, bad investments, political situations, capital that has not returned expectations and more. The entire cast of “Junk” is great in creating believable characters — from simple people who want a good life, to schemers and investors whose dreams lie in the hands of those they trust.

Akhtar was a Tony Award-nominee for Broadway’s “Disgraced” and his “The Who & The What,” on stage at the Playhouse. He has certainly gone to great lengths to help playgoers understand the message in this script, as he told Playhouse development director Gabriel Greene, “I’m trying to show how the feeling/texture of the thought around money changed at a certain moment in our history, and we are
living the consequences of that shift.” I thought the production ran a tad too long, and is not helped by a second five-minute intermission during which the audience is warned not to leave. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘JUNK: The Golden Age of Debt,’ through Aug. 21 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus.

Make the Most of Your Minutes: Expert offers 15 time-management tips
T
ime. In the frantic pace of the digital age, time is something everyone seems to be short on now. But according to author, speaker and time management expert Jackie Gaines, if workers could figure out how to make the most of their waking moments, they could be far more productive and happy regardless of their time constraints. "Success at work and in life often comes down to one thing: developing better time management skills," said Gaines, author of “Wait a Hot Minute! How to Manage Your Life with the Minutes You Have” (Fire Starter Publishing, 2016). "The truth is, we are always going to have obligations, deadlines and responsibilities, but if you learn how to handle your hot minutes, you can work with the clock instead of against it." ■ Prioritize sleep so you can function when you're awake. You will be more productive and feel more ambitious when you get the rest your body requires. Schedule sleep like any other daily activity on your to-do list. Pencil in a stopping point in your day and stick to it without fail. Then wind down with a book or another relaxing bedtime ritual to help you drift off to sleep. ■ Establish what the "workday" means to you and your boss. It's common for employers to call or e-mail you after hours, but it’s up to you to decide whether or not you're available after hours. If you choose to be off-duty on nights and weekends, that’s your choice (and your right!). Just make sure you respectfully address your "workday" limits to your boss upfront, so everyone is clear on the boundaries.
■ Don't stay on your e-mail all day. Constantly checking your inbox is distracting and slows you down. Designate a few times in your workday to check e-mail so you remain in control of your schedule and aren't being reactive to new messages as they appear. ■ Choose human connection over technology. E-mails and texts are convenient, but they create room for confusion and miscommunication. Whenever possible, talk in person in order to get your message across clearly. ■ Learn to say no and mean it. It's OK to turn down invitations, cancel plans or disconnect from the outside world every now and then. Saying no is a skill, so allow yourself to politely start bowing out of unnecessary commitments. ■ Set achievable goals each day. What's the point of writing down unachievable tasks? Make your daily goals small enough that you can actually get them done. Remember that you can always do more if you have the time. ■ Give multi-tasking the ax. Multi-tasking is ineffective and counterproductive. People work best when they give focused attention to the task at hand. Aim to work on only one project at a time and give yourself permission to forget about other priorities until you are done. ■ Listen up! Active listening consists of being present and engaged when communicating with another person, but it's not as easy as it sounds. It's very common to forget to listen after you speak your thoughts in a conversation, and you often lose
important information as a result. When you’re talking with someone, be sure you turn off that pesky inner monologue and focus when it’s the other person's turn to speak. ■ Don't be a sheep. While maintaining the status quo is often a good thing (especially at work), there may come a time when it’s advisable to stop following the herd and innovate in the name of productivity. If you can envision a way to work smarter, you may just create new best practices for your workplace that will save time and increase quality. ■ Stop shuffling papers. Touch each sheet of paper just once and figure out the appropriate action: Either put it in a to-do pile, so you can deal with it immediately; a file (for documents you must keep); or the trash. ■ Step away from the Internet. Surfing the Web is a huge time-waster for most people. A little break often turns into an hour (or more) of wasted time you can't get back — especially when you should be working or headed to bed to get some rest. Shut off access to the Internet at a certain time each day to avoid getting lost in cyberspace. (Break from recreational Internet use (about a month) to focus on other aspects of your life that may need attention. ■ Have some fun along the way. Stressed-out people aren't all that productive. You have to relax and schedule "recharge time" into your life to avoid burnout — especially if you have an intense work environment. Build in time for fun on the weekends and some evenings, but try to make
work fun, too. If appropriate, find ways to infuse a little lighthearted play into your workday. ■ Practice breathing and mindfulness. Imagine how productive you could be if you could focus, calm all anxious thoughts, and truly be present. You can find out by practicing mindfulness. There are multiple methods for achieving this state, including tai chi, meditation, yoga or simple breathing exercises. Find one that resonates for you and practice it daily. ■ Stop owning other people's stuff. How often do you hear yourself saying, "Never mind, I'll do it myself?" This habit takes up precious minutes in no time. The solution is to hold others accountable for their responsibilities. This includes your children, your spouse and your colleagues. ■ Let go and delegate. Learn to know when to let someone else handle a task. It can be hard to relinquish control, but it’s necessary to delegate, especially if you're in a leadership position. Remember that delegating is not admitting you can't handle your responsibilities, it's about maximizing the potential of your entire workforce. “Remember, you have two choices when trying to manage your time,” Gaines said. “You can either let your priorities and obligations run your life, or you can take charge of your minutes and let them work for you to achieve your goals in a timely manner. While you won't ever succeed long-term by racing the clock, you can drop your bad habits, improve ineffective practices, and kick stress to the curb so your whole life improves.”

Human Longevity, Inc.: Working to understand one’s risk for disease BY DAVID L. CODDON Right now, while you’re going about your daily business, a team of intrepid and forward-thinking scientists in La Jolla is hard at work, in search of ways to make your life healthier … and longer. Human Longevity, Inc. (HLI) is a genomics-technology company with more than 300 employees. In just two years, HLI has sequenced over 30,000 human genomes (full sets of chromosomes) and is today doing so at the rate of one every 15 minutes. A distinguished scientist, Dr. J. Craig Venter, is HLI’s co-founder along with Dr. Robert Hariri and Dr. Peter H. Diamandis. “I started HLI with the goal of learning how to interpret the human genome so we can understand people’s risk for disease and have the ability to do prevention and early Dr. J. Craig Venter treatment,” Venter said. In addition to the ongoing research, HLI operates a clinical health facility called the Health Nucleus in the University Towne Center area. Venter says it offers, at a cost of about $25,000, “the most comprehensive health physical anybody can get. We sequence the entire genome. We sequence the microbiome. We measure several thousand chemicals in the bloodstream and we do quantitative brain MRI imagining. We scan for bone density, we do 4D echocardiograms. We measure everything that can be measured in an eight-hour day. We’re trying to use the genome to identify the risk, and then assess whether that

We can tell you whether you have cancer or not and your risk of getting cancer in the future.” In short: “We’re trying to change the definition of health.” For the time being, the health insurance industry is not on board. “We hope that in the future third-party payers will recognize the value of this. There are some life insurance
companies that are starting to pay for it,” Venter says. “Your life insurance company wants you to live a long time.” As for the medical community? “This is all very new,” Venter says. “The traditional medical community says there’s no reason to screen healthy people. I would say you don’t know they’re healthy until you screen them. Traditional medicine is reactive. You wait until people have symptoms. They go to their physicians with their symptoms, then they try to solve them.” But Venter, who is also founder and CEO of the J. Craig Venter Institute, a genomics-research organization, can see a future beyond what he calls the “tough revolution” he and his colleagues are trying to effect. “I would love to see this proactive, genome-based, predictive and preventative medicine become a much larger part of health care. What we’re doing would be expanded substantially and would be the standard of care.” HLI’s research efforts fuel his hope. “With our database now of over 30,000 genomes with all this information, we are making amazing discoveries every single day that make the interpretations more valuable, more accurate, more predictive. “Our goal is not just to find the ‘Ponce de Leon’ gene. Our goal is to increase the healthy life span.” ■ Human Longevity, Inc. is at 4570 Executive Drive, La Jolla.

To Rest In Peace
Court rules Native American remains be returned to La Jolla burial site BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN n Jan. 25 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against UC scientists Timothy White, Margaret Schoeninger and Robert Bettinger, who wanted to study the remains of two Native American ancestors found in 1976 under what is now the UC San Diego Chancellor’s House, ending a decade-long battle. Under the Native American Graves Protection & Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the ancestors had to be repatriated to their original tribe, but the plaintiffs wanted to perform new studies on them such as DNA analysis. La Jolla Light contacted UC San Diego to find out the current stage of the repatriation, and according to Jeff Gattas, UCSD director of marketing, media relations and public affairs, “The remains in question were transferred earlier this year to the La Posta Band of Mission Indians, which is the designated group. The residents of La Posta Reservation are members of the Kumeyaay tribe.” The Supreme Court decision comes to light the same week that the United Nations celebrates the International Day of Indigenous People (Tuesday, Aug 9). The Kumeyaay tribe lived, fished, hunted and gathered peacefully for thousands of years in La Jolla. This is their story.

LA JOLLA HISTORICAL SOCIETY MARIANA RICALDE
Native American comedian, historian and storyteller Abel Silvas combines humor and history in educational performances about indigenous people.
Healing through storytelling
Abel Silvas, Native American historian, comedian and storyteller, said his family lived in La Jolla for generations until 1924, when the Convenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) of local developers established that only Caucasians could live in the Village. He identifies as a “Diegueño Californio, The Native Americans that stayed in the Mission,” he explained. Silvas sits on the San Diego County Historic Site Board, the Presidio Park Council, and up until last month, he was part of the City of San Diego Historical Resources Board. He pointed out that his efforts as member of many boards are directed to providing information on the Native American culture of the area and its contributions to current society. “People think that we are just people that lived thousands of years ago and we are long gone, but we are still here, being in the community, telling these stories. “I believe that on every board, committee, council and planning group, there should be an open seat for a Native American or a Californio, which is a person of mixed blood from other tribes and European descent. They are the ones who have the stories from ancient times.” When he’s off duty, Silvas tries to educate people about Native Americans by mixing comedy, history and education in one act. His performances, which include historical dramas that he presents for children and adults alike, have taken place at local landmarks such as at the Old Globe and the Cabrillo National Monument. Silvas also finds time to be on the tribal council of the Juaniño Band of Mission Indians. These days, he’s monitoring construction work in several burial sites to impede the unearthing of Native American ancestors.

The Kumeyaays
The Kumeyaay Native Americans believe that they’ve inhabited the coast of Southern California since the beginning of time, because that’s their creation story. Archeologists can’t prove that, but they’ve found Kumeyaay resting sites on several La Jolla properties. Ben Garcia, deputy director of the Museum of Man in Balboa Park said, “Some of the oldest human remains in North America have been unearthed in La Jolla; the
Kumeyaay go to over 10,000 years there.” Larry Banegas, president and founder of the website kumeyaay.com, served as a member of the Tribal Council for the Barona Band of the Kumeyaay. He said he believes his ancestors had a community on La Jolla soil up to 14,000 years ago. “Traditional knowledge, which is something passed down generations through generations,” he said, “says that we were able to develop a community here more perfect for humans than we have today.” For example, Banegas describes how the Kumeyaay had impartial arbiters to resolve their skirmishes and performed controlled burns to prevent wildfires. “We were great astrologers, we managed the land, we have songs that talk about a big fire god that comes and burns everything, so if you don’t have control, he wipes out everything,” he explained. The Kumeyaay not only lived along the coast as we know it today, but their territory extended well beyond. Archeologist Ron May pointed out, “The entire ocean has risen around 400 feet since the Native Americans were here. All of the early villages that were on old beaches are gone because of the ocean.” However, May allows room for doubt on whether the La Jolla remains found belong to the Kumeyaays or some other group. “There’s something different about the archeological sites in La Jolla Shores and The Cove, the quality of their artwork, their people … they look different than the findings in other areas.” On this subject, Silvas added, “The Kumeyaays today can’t prove their connection to the ancient ones, that’s why we have laws like the NAGPRA. That law established the Most Likely Descendant to those people, to take care of them, because for us to prove that we are the native people
A 1950 story in The San Diego Union shows the then-acting director of the Museum of Man examining Indian American remains found in La Jolla. that go back 10,000 years is ludicrous.” The Museum of Man currently holds the “Kumeyaay: Native Californians” exhibit, exploring traditional lifestyles, featuring the art of pottery and basket-making, food procurement, dress and adornment, traditional medicine, games and ceremonies. “The Museum is working with tribal people to include their voice, given everything that’s happened,” Garcia said. “The Kumeyaay are still here, so we can work together to create a more accurate history.” Collections manager Lael Hoff, who is a Kumeyaay of the Santa Isabel Mesa Grande reservation, works to help the Museum become more inclusive. “Working for my community is something I’ve done my entire life,” she said. Throughout the 20th century, the Museum of Man accumulated a good number of Native American ancestors, many of them dug out from burial sites in La Jolla. There’s reportedly evidence of human rests found in two different areas — La Jolla Shores and Cove and the upper areas where UC San Diego is now — that were been studied by the Museum of Man. “We are working with the Kumeyaay, and that’s an ongoing process that began last year and will be ongoing probably through this calendar year and at the end of it, the museum will have repatriated the Kumeyaay ancestors to the Kumeyaay nation,” Garcia said. Hoff added, “Repatriating the ancestors is something that’s long overdue. The remains have been in the Museum for a hundred years.”
Crime scene
Archeologist May insisted that an archeological site is like “a crime scene; evidence has to be carefully managed.” He said people should not go out with shovels and try to find rests on their own.

‘Paparazzi Dog’ statues arrive in La Jolla N
ormally people take pictures of their dogs, not the other way around! But, two of the world famous ‘Paparazzi Dog’ statues by Australia-based sculptors Gillie and Marc have staked out their spot in front of the La Jolla Gallery at 1274 Prospect St. Weighing in at about 500 pounds each, and valued at $40,000 each, the bronze statues depict paparazzi “photographers” with their cameras ready, but atop their human bodies are the heads of Weimaraner dogs. Traveling versions used as public art have earned international attention during their visits to Melbourne’s Federation Square and New York City’s DUMBO area (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Now, the two originals are part of the permanent landscape of La Jolla. Gallery owner Elisabeth King said the Australian artists contacted her to possibly show at the off-the-wall contemporary gallery, and offered small-scale and miniature versions of their large-scale works, which will arrive at the gallery shortly. Serendipitously, King said she was looking for sculptures to front the space, and commissioned the sculptors to make two just for La Jolla. “Gillie and Marc are such a force around the world, the fact that our little gallery gets to have two of their famous sculptures is amazing,” King said. “It’s insane how many people have stopped by to take pictures since they went up.” Although other versions of the “Paparazzi Dogs” have been named, one group in honor of the Beatles (John, Paul, George and Ringo) and the another in honor of the Royal Family (Charles, Diana, Harry and William), the two La Jolla Dogs are unnamed. They will be posted until they are sold, but King noted replicas could be made in the event the statues are purchased. More at gillieandmarc.com or thelajollagallery.com —Ashley Mackin

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS California Sea Grant Fellows take coastal walk to La Jolla Morgan Visalli and Jocelyn Enevoldsen (aka MoJo pictured at right) are environmental science graduates from UC Santa Barbara who’ve taken on the task of walking the 1,300 miles of the California Coastal Trail. On Tuesday, Aug. 2 they passed through La Jolla and met with students and beachgoers for a chat by Scripps Pier. The coast has been used as a trail for as long as people inhabited the land, states the “Completing the California Coastal Trail” report (Coastal Conservancy, 2003). “Native tribes residing near the coast on a permanent or seasonal basis used the readily accessible beaches and coastal grassland bluffs as transportation and trading routes, and many subsequent visitors have trod those same paths.” Posting pictures of their adventure to several social media networks, MoJo said they started their journey to bring awareness of the Trail, jumpstart a movement to complete it, and “build a connected community of coastal stewards.” “The idea for the coast walk came about when Jo found out about the Trail during her fellowship,” they write on their website mojocoastwalk.com “When we first heard about the dream to build a trail along the entire California coastline we were instantly inspired, and knew it was time to put our knowledge and skills to work to find innovative ways to make this dream a reality.”
State law helps reduce unvaccinated kindergarteners The number of U.S. children, ages 4-6, that alleged the personal belief exemption to skip vaccinations dropped from 4.5 percent (2013-2014) to 3.6 percent (2015-2016). In California, this rate went from 3.2 percent (2013-2014) to 2.4 percent (2015-2016). Senate Bill 277, which went into effect July 1, removes the personal belief vaccine exemption for children attending daycare and public and private schools. County health officials hope to see the number of unvaccinated children keep falling this school year. County authorities will be surveying locals about their immunizations in the coming months. Eleven interviewers will be phoning residents from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The results of the survey will shed light on what proportions of infants, pregnant women, adolescents, adults and seniors are fully immunized.

Ominous music makes you dislike sharks, says study Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) researchers reached the conclusion that your opinion of sharks is affected by the sound effects in documentaries. SIO scientist Andrew Nosal, lead author of the report, collaborated with a Harvard college to study some 2,000 Internet surveys that participants submitted after watching a 60-second video of swimming sharks. The results reveal that participants who watched the video with ominous background music rated sharks more negatively than those who viewed the clip with uplifting music or no music. “Given that nature documentaries are often regarded as

City to ‘refine’ DecoBike locations in La Jolla Following the La Jolla Light report on DecoBike and its possible resurgence in La Jolla (“DecoBike still coming to La Jolla?” Aug. 4 issue), the City of San Diego announced it would “refine its list of proposed bike-sharing stations by the end of August and looks forward to the community’s review.” However, it was not disclosed (nor were inquiries responded to by press time) what type of review the city would offer. Although La Jolla’s community advisory groups rejected proposed DecoBike locations in La Jolla with near unanimity in 2014, in late July, the City of San Diego’s Smart Growth & Land Use Committee held a meeting to discuss proposed DecoBike bike-sharing kiosk locations in La Jolla, indicating the locations would be implemented by the end of September. The installation would bring the city in line with a partnership agreement the city filed with DecoBike in 2013. Through DecoBike, riders rent a bicycle short-term from a station and return to either the original station or another one nearby. More than a dozen locations – many with 16 bicycles at each station – are suggested between Bird Rock and La Jolla Shores.

San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister’s office will begin to mail default notices to taxpayers who failed to pay their first, second or both installments of the 2015-2016 property tax bill(s) or have a prior year unpaid tax bill. The bill reflects a 10-percent penalty previously added to each unpaid installment and an added 1.5 percent per month (18 percent per year) penalty. Penalties will continue to accrue until the bill is paid in full. “Last year we mailed 20,069 default notices,” said McAllister. “This week, we will be mailing 19,207 defaulted tax bills which is a slight drop from last year. The total amount due is $104,172,295. These numbers are a positive indication that our economy is showing improvement. More taxpayers are paying what they owe on time and that is a wonderful sign.” Under California State law, the Treasurer-Tax Collector may

How your hearing works: Sound enters your ear canal through the air.
Hearing Problem #1 The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax , which mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.
Sound Reaches Your Eardrum, which vibrates, starting a chain reaction.
The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones. We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.
The eardrum is connected to the first of three tiny bones. These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.
Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your inner ear conduct sound between your ear drum and your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.
This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.
Hearing Problem #3 The Cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as Sensorineural hearing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.
Inside the cochlea are thousands of microscopic hair cells called stereocilia, and these hair cells sense the motion of sound waves.
About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing computer has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.

OUR READERS WRITE DecoBikes yet another reason for an Independent La Jolla Well folks, it looks like we’re getting DecoBikes in the Village. Why? Because we want them here? Not at all. Because the City Of San Diego wants them here. And that is reason No. 734 why we need to get away from San Diego and become our own city! To create changes in La Jolla, we form committees, sub-committees, advisory boards, sub-advisory boards, groups, sub-groups, task forces, sub-task forces, yadda yadda. And for what? For the privilege of kneeling before the Great and Powerful Oz, pleading for permission to do something. Anything, Everything. We send millions more to Oz in tax dollars than we receive in services from San Diego. This is asinine, folks. The July 28 La Jolla Light poll asked “Are working groups and task forces the way to get things done in La Jolla?” The result was clearly “NO!” The tireless Melinda Merryweather has worked toward La Jolla's independence for years. All we need now is a little money. A few La Jolla whales who cherish living here should step up and
write some big checks. The rest of us should write checks for what we can. And when independence for La Jolla gets on the ballot, I’ll volunteer to go knocking on doors. Anybody want to join me? A good start would be going to independentlajolla.org and join. And go to their meetings. And on one glorious day we will say, “Toto, we’re not in San Diego anymore!” Jerry Cesak
We should welcome DecoBike stations Millennials are said to use bikes, Uber, Car2Go, Airbnb, and are able to work with a laptop from anywhere: they are the new nomads. When I moved to La Jolla 40 years ago, I biked everywhere: the grocery, to work, restaurants, bookstores, cinemas, Pacific Beach and even downtown. La Jolla should have these bike stations. Residents and visitors can park their car and visit “the Village.” Pollution will decrease, the environment will get better and maybe, just maybe, reduce obesity. Wouldn’t that be amazing? The objections seem to be aesthetics (who knew?), safety (pray tell?) and location (OK). If those are the objections, I can think of some
other “Village” issues that fit those categories: the 40 year continued deterioration of the Red Rest and Red Roost (aesthetics and safety); the removal of trees at Wall Street and Silverado Avenue (aesthetics, pollution), and the constant traffic in and out. How about focusing on those issues and let the bikes arrive with key locations that can serve visitors and residents alike. Charles Kaminski
A note about Conrad Prebys’ support of PBS ... Regarding your article in the July 28 issue, “Conrad Prebys dies at 82,” I would like to add that Conrad Prebys was a good friend and wonderful donor to KPBS and to the Masterpiece Trust. His enthusiasm for great drama, and love for film and shows that bring out the depth of the human spirit, were important to him. He was happy to know he was making a difference in the kind of quality programming on television that inspires and tells the stories of human history and informs us about our region. He gave $4.5 million to Masterpiece and KPBS since 2012. He once said to us, “KPBS is like an old friend, a good friend.” Conrad and Debbie Turner's support was announced weekly on

Time for motorists to weigh-in on Torrey Pines Road signals GUEST COMMENTARY BY JUSTIN SCHLAEFLI Vice President, Urban Systems Associates, Inc. s you know, the City of San Diego recently installed an ITS system on La Jolla Parkway near La Jolla Shores/Torrey Pines Road to help solve some of the ongoing traffic issues there. I have been monitoring the system since turn-on out of a professional interest — both driving the corridor and monitoring remotely via Google Traffic and other apps. I know the technology vendor fairly well from some earlier work with them and I met with them at Hotel La Jolla to watch some of the traffic conditions at the bar on the top floor. My observation was that two out of four queues were significantly better, a third was somewhat better, and the fourth was hardly improved during the P.M. peak. I also noticed that outside of absolute peak saturation, I was able to drive right through the intersection at Torrey Pines and into La Jolla without hitting a red light regularly. That was a pleasant surprise. Finally, I noticed that the onset of saturated conditions (i.e. excessive queues) happened later in the peak and for a shorter duration than before. My big test was watching the queues after The Cove fireworks. I know that in past years, it has taken me one-and-a-half to two hours to leave The Cove area and get to the freeway after the fireworks. This year, I monitored everything on Google Maps (which usually shows fairly accurate travel times) and noticed the travel time from The
A
Cove to the freeway never exceeded one hour and the saturation of the intersections that were converted took much longer than conventional intersections. For example, at 9:30 p.m., I observed large queues in the Village on Prospect and Torrey Pines Road while the queues still had not reached full saturation at the intersection of La Jolla Shores Drive and La Jolla Parkway at Torrey Pines Road. At 9:40 p.m., the conventional intersections operated FAR worse than the smart intersections and although congested conditions lasted for approximately one hour, by 11:10 p.m. (less than two hours after congestion started) last night, all queues had cleared. The reason I mention the above is to see if your experiences mirror my own and whether the La Jolla organizations are aware of the project and the improvement? I know the city is still fine-tuning the system, but considering the very challenging conditions on July 4, I was pretty impressed. On a more normal basis, I have certainly noticed that although the system has not solved all saturation problems, the period of saturation has been significantly reduced. It starts later and ends more quickly than previously. The traffic signal is finally catching up to the Internet Age and the result puts San Diego in a good position to take advantage of connected and driverless vehicles in the future. Please note that my firm was not involved in this particular project, and I’m proud to say city staff did a great job handling everything in-house. I am thrilled to see La Jolla get the attention it deserves and hope that this is only a

In May, the City of San Diego installed adaptive signal cameras on the mast arms over the intersections of La Jolla Parkway at Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla Parkway at La Jolla Shores Drive, and Torrey Pines Road at Ardath Lane. Adaptive signal timing adjusts green light duration based on real-time increases and decreases in traffic. Problems can be reported on a new city app: sandiego.gov/get-it-done A September review of the project is scheduled. modest first step. There are quite a few more things the city will need to do to actually fix the traffic problems in La Jolla, and this system is a solid first step from a city that is finally moving toward the leading edge of traffic technology.

Scripps Park is no place for jazz festival (This is my third letter protesting the use of Scripps Park for a three-day jazz festival.) The use of our public park for a private, for-profit event is absolutely wrong and sets a bad precedent for the future. Allowing a three-day closure of the park, Dec. 2-4, will impact parking, traffic and generate waste to be cleaned up. The money being paid will unlikely compensate for the loss of public access to residents who pay taxes for the park upkeep. Some merchants may benefit, but others including the public, will lose. First the Concours d’Elegance car show took over and became a paying event and now this. I guess money speaks louder than public concerns. Jack Resnick
How many signs does it take to sell a home? In the past, the Light has printed letters from people complaining about A-frame “sandwich” board signs in front of commercial establishments in the Village. How about the visual pollution caused by real estate signs on public sidewalks in residential areas? On Sunday, Aug. 7 at Genter and Fay, there were four sandwich boards, one on
each corner from one agency, and two from another. At Genter and Eads, there were three boards from one company and one from another. Finally, one block away at Genter and Draper, there were two real estate company boards, one on the corner and one in front of a house for sale. Another real estate firm had one sign on a corner there, as well. Do there really need to be nine signs for one open house (same listing agent on all boards)? I thought there was a bias against unattractive "for sale" signs in front of homes. Isn't this worse? Public sidewalks should be reserved for pedestrians, not signage boards. Sharon Province

sightings of dolphins, whales, fish and other seasonal animals. Marine birds are passing through after their nesting seasons and even the seals and sea lions actively cruise the kelp forests looking for fish or squid. A regular visitor here in the summer is the blue whale, the world’s largest living animal ever (including dinosaurs). Blue whales feed on the krill that is abundant here during the summer months. Their blow (spout) is so powerful it can often be seen from shore — even when the whales are far out to sea. Large schools of anchovies swarm in nearshore waters, and many animals like common dolphins take advantage of the
bounty. Abundant pelagic red crabs make loggerhead sea turtles happy. All of the action spurs the birds into feeding as well; you can often see many different seabirds like terns and pelicans diving into a bait ball where whales or dolphins are feeding. Find some relief from the heat this August and take a trip to the shore or book yourself an adventure on one of the many wildlife viewing boats in San Diego.

Everlasting memories of loved ones
Lee O. Vida, MD
June 22, 1934 - August 7, 2016 LA JoLLA — Lee Vida was born in Chicago on June 22, 1934. In the 1940s the family settled in Macomb, IL. Lee earned his pre-med degree at the University of Illinois, ChampaignUrbana, and his MD at the University of Illinois Chicago in 1959. Also in 1959, he met and married Marge Wicket in Chicago. They loved each other through nearly 50 years of marriage until Marge’s untimely passing. In 2011, Lee married the Vida family’s longtime friend, Rhonda Read, of Sydney, Australia. From 1960-62 Lee proudly served as Medical Captain at Luke Air Force base in Phoenix. The
Vidas then returned to Macomb, where Dr. Vida practiced general medicine for eight years. During this time, Lee and Marge were blessed with three children, Paul, Jeff and Lori (1970-2013). Dr. Vida then earned an advanced
degree in ophthalmology at LSU Charity Hospital in New orleans. The family eventually settled in La Jolla, where Dr. Vida practiced ophthalmology, specializing in cataract surgery at Scripps and Sharp Hospitals. He gave generously of his time and expertise to the La Jolla community, serving as president of the Rotary Club, as a board member of the La Jolla Community Center, and as a member with his wife Marge, of the La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Lee will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and by the many patients he attended to during his career. We will remember him for his integrity,
professionalism and great sense of humor, as well as being a rock solid husband, father and brother. Lee is lovingly survived by his wife, Rhonda; son, Jeff Vida; son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Margaret Vida, and their two children, Eli and Sofy; sister, Virginia Vida of oakland; step-daughter, Amanda Coalier; and his two step-grandchildren, Ellie and Linden Coalier. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be made to the La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd., La Jolla, CA 92037.

Peter Becker
July 23, 1946 - August 1, 2016 LA JoLLA — Peter Becker, 70, passed away peacefully at home in Santa Barbara on August 1, 2016, surrounded by people who love him. He was born on July 23, 1946, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the only child of James Milford and Mary opal (Layne) Becker. The family moved to La Jolla in 1956 where Peter grew up. They spent many wonderful summers in London, and traveled the world as much as they could. He attended Webb School in Claremont as a freshman and sophomore, then transferred to La Jolla Country Day School, graduating in 1964. It was during his adolescent years in La Jolla that he designed his first house, which his parents built and which became the family home. In 1968 Peter graduated
from UCSB as a Rhetoric and Public Address major. He spent the next ten years in Santa Barbara working in residential construction; it was during that time he decided to pursue his dream of being an architect. He attended the University of Colorado in Denver, and was granted a Master’s degree in Architecture in 1981.
After graduating he moved to Los Angeles and worked closely with Charles Moore, his architectural hero. After that he worked two years with Frank Gehry, then spent four more formative years as a senior associate at Lehrer Architects. Eventually he felt the call to move back to Santa Barbara and start his own architectural practice, which he did in 1990. Peter moved his office to the historic Flying A Studio in 1998, where he continued to practice residential architecture with great passion until his passing. Peter approached all he did with joy and enthusiasm, and was an incredibly kind and loyal friend to very many people. He was a man of rare wit, intelligence, spirituality, generosity, and
style. He will be missed terribly by all who were touched by his remarkable character and energy. Peter is survived by his loving wife, Julie, with whom he spent sixteen happy years; countless close friends and family members; and his loyal collie, Ned. A memorial service for Peter was held at the Santa Barbara Cemetery, 901 Channel Drive, on Sunday, August 7, 2016. The service was held in the cemetery chapel designed by George Washington Smith, one of Peter’s favorite architects.In lieu of flowers it was Peter’s wish that a donation be made to one of his two favorite charities, the Seva Foundation or SEE International.

name, so to meet this requirement, minors may use a birth certificate to match their relationship to a parent or provide a letter of guardianship with two acceptable residency documents to trace their relationship. A few examples of California Residency documents include: school documents, medical documents, employment documents, cell phone bills, financial institution records, rental or lease agreements, mortgage or utility bills. Minors do not need to have residency documents in their name as long as their parent’s name listed on their birth certificate matches the proof of residency documents. When completing the driver license application form, the signature of the custodial parent(s) or guardian is required, if the applicant is under the age of 18. First-time driver license applicants must make an appointment before visiting a DMV field office. Walk-ins are only accepted at Driver License Processing Centers. The DMV has a Teen Drivers webpage that features a checklist of requirements for applicants under age 18. Among the items needed are a Driver License or Identification Card Application form (DL 44), social security number, true full name, an acceptable birth date and proof of legal presence document, acceptable residency documents, and proof of driver education completion. The residency requirement law went into effect July 1, 2016. For more information, visit dmv.org/California

Decision on Pirasteh piece expected ‘in a couple of days’ A final decision on the controversial installation at 6707 Avenida Manana in La Jolla is expected any day now, city officials report. After two hearings with San Diego Code Enforcement officials – the most recent was held July 21 – a decision on whether the piece is a sculpture or an unpermitted structure was expected by July 31. City spokeperson Bill Harris said on Tuesday (Aug. 9) morning “Hearing officer (James Queenan) is still deliberating and a decision is expected in the next couple of days.” At issue is whether the piece is a sculpture, as La Jolla artist Nasser Pirasteh has always claimed, or an unpermitted accessory structure, as the city Code Enforcement department has ascertained. Should the installation be deemed an unpermitted structure in Pirasteh’s front yard setback, it would have to be removed and the artist could face fines of up to $250,000. Cited as a citizen complaint filed in December 2015, Pirasteh was originally informed of the potential violation in March 2016, when a civil penalty notice and order was delivered. A hearing to contest the findings within the order was held June 17, and another to introduce new evidence on July 21. La Jolla Light will report details online at lajollalight.com as soon as they become available, and in a future issue.

Cusp brings La Jolla dining scene to new heights
FROM HOTEL LA JOLLA REPORTS Cusp Dining & Drinks has remained one of La Jolla’s best-kept secrets. High atop the 11th floor of Hotel La Jolla at 7955 La Jolla Shores Drive. Cusp’s sweeping ocean views provide the perfect setting to sip, savor and soak in La Jolla from every seat in the house.

Mayor: Meet FRED, the free shuttle To provide more efficient and sustainable transit options in San Diego, Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Civic San Diego and the Downtown San Diego Partnership announced the launch of the new “Free Ride Everywhere Downtown” or “FRED” circulator program. “Downtown is one of our city’s most vibrant communities but some San Diegans stay away because parking can be a challenge,” the Mayor said. “We heard those concerns and are proud to introduce this all-electric, sustainable transportation solution that let residents and visitors park anywhere downtown and still easily get to the great restaurants, shops and attractions downtown has to offer.” The new program, initially funded by $500,000 from downtown parking meter revenues, features five-passenger, all-electric vehicles that are designed to augment existing transportation options and make short trips
within eight neighborhoods easier. The launch includes 15 vehicles with the fleet expected to grow to 20 within the first year. Users will be able to request a pickup via the mobile app The Free Ride. The shuttles are free due to dedicated funding from Civic San Diego, which manages the Downtown Community Parking District, and private sponsorships. The goal for the FRED program is to become fully sustainable via private sponsorship dollars in the next few years, with public funds being phased out. To learn more and download the app, visit http://thefreeride.com/fred/ FRED shuttles will operate: • 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday-Thursday • 7 a.m. to midnight, Friday • 8 a.m. to midnight, Saturday • 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday.

Art helps veterans heal from war wounds MCASD show features service members’ work BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN etired Marine Aaron Raher, who twice deployed to Iraq, was introduced to art through the Navy’s OASIS (Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support) program in 2012. On Thursday, Aug. 4 he shared how his art has helped him work through post-combat stress as a member of the kick-off panel for the ArtOasis Show at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) in La Jolla. “Art was a way for me to put things on the canvas without having to talk about them, because you get sick of talking about things all the time ... and a way to slow down my thinking, focus on one task, and enjoy it. There’s something really refreshing about it,” Raher said, adding that his favorite art medium is acrylic paint on canvas. “I also like to collect art on my body,” he laughed, pointing at his many tattoos. Raher said he kept in touch with Elizabeth Washburn, artist and one of the program’s teachers, after he graduated. Today he works as a liason between the veterans going through the program and the museum. “I come (to MCASD) and explain to OASIS members how art has been helpful for me, how I use art. I tell SEE ART, B13

La Jolla native stages one-woman performance at North Coast Rep BY ASHLEY MACKIN hile she grew up in town as Wendy Palmer, breaking sports records at La Jolla High, the daughter of Paul and Marge Palmer, is now playwright, dancer and actress Palmer Davis, who has spent most of her adult life developing a showbiz career and breaking down walls. The story of her life, “Suburban Showgirl,” takes the stage 7:30 p.m. Aug. 15-17, during North Coast Repertory Theatre’s Variety Nights. It’s a one-woman show, in which she stars. Semi-autobiographical with some artistic license, “the show is about a dancer and all of the stages of a dancer’s life: early training, professional failures and successes, complications with having a family, getting older, and giving back,” Davis said. “I hope in watching the show, people experience her journey — joy, pain, conflict, and mostly the self-discoveries.

artistic director David Ellenstein said, “It was originally brought to my attention by a friend who directed it (in another city), and I thought it might be something our audiences might enjoy. Finding out that Palmer is from here and connected to the community with history in the area, cinched the deal.” Commenting on the relatability of the piece, he added, “It’s about a person’s struggles to deal with the realities of life … how you balance being a real person and having a career. But it’s funny. It’s something any theater-goer would enjoy.” In total, Davis plays some 18 characters, representing influential figures in her life. And she has plenty from which to pull. “I’ve been doing theater and dancing since I was 7 … taking Diedre Andrews’ acting classes ... and I had a lot of training during my three years at The Bishops School, which has great opportunities in SEE ONE-WOWAN SHOW, B13

We fall in love with a foo-foo dog
R
La Jolla Cultural Partners
ecently I wrote about Olof and I starting to look at dogs. Olof was not enthusiastic about “foo-foo” dogs that needed professional grooming. Our vet, meanwhile, predicted we would fall in love with any dog that ended up in our house for more than two days. And lo and behold, she was right. It was the Fourth of July, a weekend when shelters are filled to overflowing with dogs that freak out from fireworks and slip their collars. One of the small private shelters at which we’d applied asked if we’d do a seven-day foster for a matted scrawny Shih Tzu that had been picked up on the streets of Bonita a week earlier. No one seemed to be looking for him. When we went down to the County Animal Shelter, the place looked like the fall of Saigon — dogs everywhere. The private shelter had rescued Percy from the County Shelter and the hand-off was not unlike a drug deal. We were presented with a diaper-wearing dog and a plastic bag containing six cans of food, some kibble, and a package of Maxi Pads. Zero info available on the dog, said the harried shelter person, other than that the county vet estimated he was three. Not sure about being
house-trained, she added, hence the “belly band” (a Velcro strip lined with a Maxi Pad that went around his stomach). And then she was gone. Testing the house-training situation when we got home, we took off the belly band only to have Percy leave a lake on our guest room floor. While I cleaned up, I asked Olof to reload a fresh Maxi Pad in the belly band and get it on the dog. Let me just say that Olof is not a Maxi Pad kind of guy. In fact, I won a first place Press Club award for a column I wrote about Olof’s world class aversion to feminine hygiene product commercials on TV. The look on Olof’s face suggested that even under the “for worse” category, this was not covered in the marital vows. But he bravely forged ahead. It immediately became apparent that Percy was an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. Someone had obviously adored him. He was hugely affectionate, loved to be brushed and walked, and was fabulous with kids, grownups, other dogs — and even postmen. But his microchip had never been registered and he was not neutered (and mounted everything that moved). When I took him to our vet a few days later, she said he was closer to seven or eight than three, and his
teeth were among the worst she’d ever seen. (His breath could drop a goat at 40 feet.) Piteous doggie nightmares attested to some terrifying time on the streets. He knew no commands — in English anyway. Since the Spanish I studied in college extended more to Don Quixote than dog commands, I looked some up on the Internet. “Sientate!” I ordered. “Arriba! Abajo! Ven! Quedate!” Nada. One thing that was quickly apparent: his mouth was killing him. We told the shelter that we would pay the $500 for his neutering and his dental work, which I admit was partly self-defense. (As I drove him to the vet, Percy jumped into my lap and assaulted my arm the whole way.) Even though our beloved previous dog was a non-swimming English bulldog, we never worried about him going into our pool. But the very first time we had Percy out in our backyard, he proceeded to walk directly into the pool — and go straight to the bottom. No instincts to dog paddle at all. Did it again two more times. The pool safety trainer later observed, “This dog’s Indian name should be ‘Sinks Like Stone.’ ” I don’t have space to write another 50 pages on this topic, or on the fact that he could squeeze his little body between the bars of the pool fence and nearly drowned a fourth time before we hastily strung up netting. But it was the assessment of several experts that this dog could not be made reliably pool safe. And hence he could not be our Forever Dog. The gate to our backyard just gets left unsecured too often by gardening guys, pool cleaners, irrigation people, etc.
INGA
Percy is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. But this did not keep us from falling madly in love with Percy during the month we fostered him. We made it our goal to make him the most adoptable dog he could possibly be. He was house-trained, professionally groomed, eating enthusiastically with his remaining teeth, lost the doggie breath, knew some commands, and wasn’t mounting anybody. Tuned up and good for another 40,000 miles. An apartment-dwelling widow looking for a companion dog adopted him — a perfect placement. It was absolutely the right decision. Yet, mushballs that our vet knows us to be, we’re #heartbroken. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

‘Kitsch’ has new meaning at Rancho Santa Fe art show BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Sergott Contemporary Art Alliance is not your everyday art gallery. It’s a private, home-based, indoor-outdoor exhibition space in the hills of Rancho Santa Fe, owned and directed by a longtime collector turned gallerist. Tom Sergott, a retired plastic surgeon, said he has always been interested in art, and developed a special appreciation for Latin American artwork while living in
Mexico in the 1970s. After his retirement in 2004, he added an MBA to his MD, and five years ago, he began presenting art exhibits in his home, donating a percentage of sales to local arts organizations. Gradually, he branched out, bringing selected artists to art fairs around the country. This year, with the addition of associate director Andrew Ütt, his gallery has really blossomed. The latest exhibit, “Neo-Kitsch: A New
Old Latin America,” had its grand opening July 22. Curated by Ütt, it features 10 artists from five different countries who use bright-colored, “kitschy” symbolism to explore their cultural identity. Although the word kitsch usually has a negative connotation, Ütt explained its presence in the exhibit’s title: “Kitsch is all around us, it’s part of our culture, like one of those hula dancers on your car’s dashboard,” he said. “Look at it in a new
way, put a frame around it, and it’s art.” Certainly the dozens of viewers at the opening seemed to find the exhibit delightful, and there were more than a few comments that this was Sergott’s best show yet. The show includes artists from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia, along with three well-known artists from Mexico who live and work in our area: Becky Guttin and the De La Torre brothers.

Their portraits — and their little dog’s too — are in the lower left-hand corner. to attend the opening was Esteban Schimpf, born and raised in Colombia, now based in LA. “All my work is super flamboyant and colorful, most of it in primary colors,” he said. “I’m really basic, and it so happens the Colombian flag is yellow, blue and red.” The evening also included danceable “musica latina” by the guitar duo Malamaña, and an excerpt from “Letters from the Wall,” a spoken word/dance performance based on actual letters and stories from people affected by the 2,000-mile-long U.S./Mexico border wall. Written and performed by David Rivas, with cast members from Amigos del REP, the Latino adjunct of San Diego Repertory Theatre, it was a sobering complement to the kitschy theme of the show. “I like to do more of an event than just an art opening,” Sergott said. “I’m very happy to be representing these wonderful artists and continuing my support of the San Diego art community.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Neo Kitsch” will be on view, by appointment only, through Aug. 27.

We members of the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla would like to publicly thank our host and sponsors for the recent 53rd annual Saturday morning Pancake Breakfast. The Recreation Center of La Jolla venue is donated for the event by the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department. They also provide some financial assistance to help make sure the event happens. The staff of the Recreation Center are fantastic and long standing friends of Kiwanis. Our local restaurant and hotel sponsors generously provided valuable raffle and auction prizes for those attendees lucky enough to win through the draw or by bidding. Thank you Inn by the Sea Best Western, Duke’s La Jolla, Café La Rue/ La Valencia, Nine Ten, Donovan’s, The Shores Restaurant, The Marine Room, Piatti, La Jolla Village Lodge, Pantai Inn’s, La Jolla Cove Suites, Eddie V’s. The Pancake Breakfast is typically revenue neutral with possibly a small profit in some years. We do it each year as a gift to the community. It is all worthwhile just to see the smiles on the faces of the kids enjoying the pony rides. And the delicious food is a benefit as well.

Our big fund raiser of the year is the La Jolla Half Marathon and Shores 5K held in late April each year. That event requires over five hundred volunteers on race day, and year-round planning for the next event. All of the net proceeds from the race are given out the following year to worthy nonprofits and for scholarships for eight local schools. We have been fortunate in the past few years to donate around $250,000 each year to a variety of charitable organizations and causes. So register early if you wish to run and save a few dollars on early-bird rates. If you want to help out with the event, just go to http://www.lajollahalfmarathon.com/ and click on the volunteer tab. Another of our annual community oriented events is the Moon Mullen Memorial Junior Olympics held in May. We send out invitations to all of the La Jolla elementary schools both public and private to ask student athletes to participate in a number of track and field events. Most or all schools are represented each year. They show up in colorful matching tee shirts proudly displaying their school colors. All of the events are held in small heats, so many of the competitors receive bronze, silver, or gold medals. Around one thousand kids compete, while a similar number of parents and other well-wishers cheer on their favorites. The event concludes with a relay for the fastest school, and long races for the fastest girl and boy in La Jolla. The stadium comes alive with cheers for those three events. The Kiwanis Club of La Jolla meets at noon for lunch each Friday at the social hall of the La Jolla Presbyterian Church. We warmly welcome visitors and potential new members. So if you would like to join in the fun and fellowship, please visit on any Friday and check us out or email us at membership@la-jolla.kiwanisone.org. Our focus is on changing the world by serving children, one child and one community at a time.

hat Color Would You Be to Hide in the Sea?” was inspired by the Birch Aquarium exhibit “Art of Deception” and celebrates the fascinating camouflage strategies used by some of the ocean’s most spectacular creatures. Camouflage is an essential survival strategy, especially in the oceans. It helps prey escape detection and helps predators sneak up on prey. Marine animals featured in the book exemplify a variety of camouflage tactics — from false eye spots, to a squirt of ink, to limbs that resemble seaweed. $18.95 at the aquarium bookshop, open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, or order by phone (858) 534-8753.
True or False? Sea lions cannot see underwater. False. A reflective membrane at the back of a sea lion’s eyes acts as a mirror, bouncing what little light they might find in the ocean back through the eye a second time. This helps them see underwater, where light may be scarce. Their sleek bodies are perfect for diving deep in the ocean (up to 600 feet) in search of fish and squid. Because sea lions are mammals and must breathe air, they can’t stay underwater for more than 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Sea lions are great swimmers, reaching speeds of 18 miles per hour for short bursts. This helps them escape from their enemies, killer whales and sharks. The life span of a sea lion is 20-30 years. — San Diego Zoo

Author looks at genetic link to human behavior in new book BY KRISTINA HOUCK Nature or nurture? The debate will probably never be solved because both are at play. Assessing human behavior, retired Salk Institute scientist-turned-author Ron Newby, analyzes how genetics play a role in his latest book, “The Nature of Humans: Why We Behave As We Do.” “We seem to want to think that it’s all nurturing ... our general thought pattern and how we behave,” said Newby of Del Mar, who was founder and director of The Ron Newby Bronowski Forum in La Jolla, which ran from 1999 to 2012. “Nurturing is very important, but it’s not the only thing. I realized I really needed to say this.” In some sense, the book is a follow-up to his 2014 book, “Homo sapiens: A Liberal’s Perspective,” in which he discusses the human evolutionary path, brain, traits and behaviors. After releasing and rereading the book, Newby decided he had more to report. “I was very satisfied with it, but there was a lot
‘The Nature of Humans’ is available on amazon.com more to the story that I needed to say,” he said. Using simplified science, personal anecdotes and wit, Newby explores various genetic behavioral traits in his new book. With a progressive’s perspective, he also examines various behaviors, from slavery to war, even climate change. “We’re faced with a lot of turmoil,” he said. Newby notes that genetic traits originated with our ancient
ancestors and survival traits. These include traits such as anger, compassion and fear, but also memory and morality. “If we didn’t have an innate sense of morality, our tribe wouldn’t be together,” he said. “Some people are genetically more prone to be kind and generous. Then there are people who have lots of greed. These are survival traits. We evolved as a tribal animal.” Born in Pasadena, Newby said he earned a bachelor’s degree in botany and a master’s in analytical biology at UC Santa Barbara. For 27 years, he worked as a researcher at the Salk Institute. For the last several years, he’s focused on writing. “It’s almost an addiction. You just have to do it,” he said, adding he spent about eight hours a day, seven days a week writing “The Nature of Humans” for the past two years. “I thought it needed to be said. I think it’s important.” The 222-page book is intended for the general reader and includes 220 citations, 70 of which are from peer-reviewed scientific journals. “I hope readers have an enjoyable time and gain insight into what humans really are,” Newby said. “We don’t have appreciation of it.”

Aaron Raher, Perry Vasquez, Elizabeth Washburn and Daniel Lopez share their experiences with art and war during a kick-off for the new exhibit at MCASD. FROM ART, B1 them, ‘As veterans, we are all we have, we have to look out for each other,’ ” he said. Washburn has been working with veterans since 2010 through her non-profit Combat Arts, but it was two years ago when MCASD came in and the ArtOasis program was established at the base in Point Loma. “We use art as a tool to relax, to reduce anxiety, to connect … But also, we are using this program to educate the public about challenges that service members and veterans face when they return home,” she said. More than 75 veterans a year work with ArtOasis. The program includes, besides the weekly on-base lessons, quarterly workshops at MCASD and a yearly show of art by service members from all over the country. MCASD education curator Cris Scorza selects the veteran’s art for the show. “The pieces that I get more excited about are the collaborative pieces, like the murals, where a couple of service members work together, share their ideas, talk about their experiences, and just make it evident through the collaborative work that there’s a lot to share,” Scorza said. Featuring more than 30 individual and collaborative pieces among canvas, masks, dreamcatchers and sketches, the ArtOasis exhibition will be up through Sept. 4 at MCASD. “The show is for the public to become more aware of what service members are capable of doing ... to really start digging deeper to get a different perspective of what a wounded veteran
FROM ONE-WOMAN SHOW, B1 performing arts,” she said. But in high school (La Jolla High School, Class of 1986), she divided her time between sports and performing arts, and chose sports. Participating in volleyball and track, she set a high jump record as a Viking. She credits her varsity volleyball coach Vicki Evelyth with teaching her “a work ethic made of true grit.” While attending college at UCLA, she freelanced dancing gigs in her free time. Her effort earned her a scholarship to the Dupree Dancing Academy. After graduation, she found herself taking acting roles in shows such as “CSI: Las Vegas,” “90210” and “Castle,” and performing in a touring company of The Rockettes. “Dancers didn’t have a voice back then, and no one thought I could act. It took a lot to break down those walls and become both an actress and a dancer,” she said. When Davis started having children, things got even more complicated. Often told it would mark the end of her career, she continued performing and ultimately turned to teaching as a way of giving back.
might look like — even if it’s just through their art,” Scorza said. Raher added, “We have to change the perception of what combat is; you don’t have to be sorry for me and you don’t have to be scared of me.” Another Marine Corps veteran, Daniel Lopez, now works as an assistant teacher at ArtOasis. He offers a leather class where service members receive tools and training. He chose leather, he explained, “because there’s something about it, everyone loves the smell of leather.” In his classes he combines leatherwork with thread and students create dreamcatchers, like the ones featured in the show. “For me it’s hard to sit and put together a painting, but when I do dreamcatchers, I see why people love to knit. It’s a repetitive thing, and it allows you to have a conversation, take your mind off other things,” Lopez said, pointing out that there’s an underlying understanding between war veterans that goes a long way in the program. Also on the panel was artist/teacher Perry Vasquez, who said the sense of community is sometimes more helpful than the art. “I remember one day I came into class and the mood was down … one of the younger men was struggling, and a first sergeant went to talk to him. I noticed how the class changed, within minutes there was laughing, joking and singing a Bob Marley tune,” he shared. ■ IF YOU GO: ArtOasis will be on view through Sept. 4 at MCASD, 700 Prospect St. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, closed Wednesday. (858) 454-3541. mcasd.org “There is a lot about a dancer’s life people don’t see, because most of the time, they see you on TV and in pretty costumes and it looks cool, but there is so much more than that. It’s a great joy to bring a work that shows the difficult parts and pays homage to my teachers, parents and mentors, and those who have been part of my personal journey,” she said. Joking that she thought she had to be convinced her story was interesting enough for a one-woman show, she said, “I thought you had to have some extraordinary experience and I didn’t think my life was that interesting. But I realized everyone has a story, and over the years, mine had becoming more interesting.” The script, she said, was in development for eight years. “It was a lot of trial and error, emphasis on the error,” Davis said. “The more truthful and vulnerable the writing became, the more compelling the script was.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Suburban Showgirl,” starts at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 15-17 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

‘Meteor Shower’ an outburst of laughs
T
he announcement that Steve Martin was returning to The Old Globe Theatre after the huge success of his and Edie Brickell’s “Bright Star” was music to the ears of theater patrons. His imagination, humor and musical talents have kept him among the top celebrities for years. His new play “Meteor Shower,” is now running at The Globe through Sept. 18. “Meteor Shower,” is not a musical and definitely for adults. Corky (Jenna Fischer) and Norm (Greg Germann) are a fun and somewhat untraditional couple. As they tidy up their home for expected company, they address several topics of conversation. When one accidentally says something negative, the other reacts as if they were shot with an arrow. Hence the two must face each other, hold hands and the offender apologize. Then the other must repeat the apology and accept it. Norm is excited by the company Laura (Alexandra Henrikson) and Gerald (Josh Stamberg) and explains how he met them as Corky continues to spruce up the living room and prepare drinks. When Laura and Gerald arrive, they are nothing like Corky expected. Gerald is an arrogant and outspoken man about his virtues and backed by his robot-like wife who is pleased to
reveal his strong points in the bedroom. Norm and Corky are surprised but try to maintain their shock, as Norm had his reasons for wanting to spend time with this couple. The drinks begin to dampen the normal conversations earlier in the evening and head to darker exchanges. Gerald is very excited by the meteor
showers slated to arrive this evening. At one point he and Norm head outside to the lounge chairs to rave about the meteors that light up the sky. Inside, Laura continues to make acerbic comments to Corky and reveals some surprising clues about her and Gerald’s visit. A meteor event outside suddenly changes the thread of the story. There are many lines of dialogue that bring continuous laughs, definitely Martin style. The actors seem to have a good time with these characters. However, I didn’t see the other side of them come through especially in Corky. Laura has made her intentions clear throughout the evening with her sassy actions and sexual forwardness to both Corky and Norm. Corky’s complete change in demeanor after
the meteor event just didn’t seem real, and remarks from some leaving the theater were not pleasing. Germann played his role close to a calm and easygoing husband who even after the meteor event doesn’t change much. Stamberg is so good as Gerald he easily becomes one of those characters you love to hate. For me, the constant sexual comments and his actions actually dim Martin’s humor of the play and fine performances of the actors. The idea that this play is about the modern marriage is somewhat scary. ■ IF YOU GO: “Meteor Shower,” runs through Sept. 18 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park. Tickets from $49. (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org

La Jolla voted America’s 10th Favorite Beach Town
I
n the 2016 annual America’s Favorite Places survey by Travel + Leisure magazine, La Jolla was voted the 10th best beach town in the United States. Readers across the country evaluated cities and towns for their quality of life. “America’s Favorite Places survey is a way for locals to share what their hometowns do best,” states the story wherein La Jolla was featured. The first place was awarded to Provincetown, Massachusetts — California,
Florida and South Carolina were the most-represented states. Of La Jolla, Travel + Leisure writes, “Academics aren’t quite sure how La Jolla got its name, but one theory suggests that it’s a misspelling of la joya, or ‘jewel,’ in Spanish. Based solely on natural beauty — the hilly enclave in San Diego looks out onto water on three sides — that theory seems plausible.” — María José Durán

Functional and Fun Ice Cubes “I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.” — David Lee Roth
W
hen it’s hot and sticky outside, nothing quenches the summer thirst like a tall, cool refreshing drink over ice (or “on the rocks”) — even coffee. Growing up in Toronto, ice was a ubiquitous hazard during endless winter months, but when sweltering, humid summers arrived ice was a welcome relief. Here are some creative suggestions for cooling your heels this season with some riffs on the classic ice cube. The Ice Ages: The first ice harvesters were the ancient people of Egypt and India who stored water in large ceramic vessels outdoors to freeze on bone-chilling nights. In the early 1800s, Bostonian Frederic Tudor earned the moniker “Ice King” by harvesting ice from natural ponds and shipping icy blocks worldwide, especially to the Caribbean. Americans began furnishing their homes with insulated cabinets called iceboxes, filled with solid ice blocks to prevent perishables from spoiling, and nicely chilling other food items. By the 20th century, natural harvesting was on thin ice, being phased out by mechanical production, and the ice cube
tray patented in the early 1930s by Guy Tinkham. His was the first stainless steel model with a flexible component to easily eject the cubes — a revolutionary refrigerator accessory that practically launched the cocktail culture and summer refreshments. Pros and Cons of Cubes: While ice cubes with a large surface area instantly chill everything from punches, sparkling waters, iced teas and lemonades to exotic cocktails, hard liquor libations, and sangrias — alas, when they melt the water dilutes the drink, compromising the flavor, color and texture of the liquid. The simple solution is to freeze a liquid, such as green tea or juice of choice rather than water in the trays to preserve the integrity of the drink when the cube melts. Sweet and Savory Cubes: Whip up creative cubes with clusters of vibrant ruby raspberries or rich purple blackberries, or edible flowers, including bright-hued nasturtium, delicate yellow calendula, pink, red and white rose and mauve lavender petals with a splash of pretty pomegranate juice for sweet drinks. To jazz up salty and savory cocktails and vegetable-based beverages use assorted Mediterranean olives in the cubes, baby onions, radishes, carrot coins, or chopped celery leaves. Frozen Fructose and Fakes: Some fruits
freeze well adding eye candy, fresh, tropical flavors and natural sweeteners to a variety of drinks. Place mango, pineapple or pink and yellow watermelon chunks, nectarine slices, purple and green grapes, along with lime, Meyer lemon and tangerine wedges in freezer bags overnight, and use as ice cube substitutes with an added oomph of iron, lycopene and Vitamin C. Silicone balls (or reusable, fast-freezing plastic cubes) keep drinks cold and add a touch of color without diluting the drinks. Cube trays also come in quirky shapes from three-dimensional diamonds and dog bones to the hemispheres of the brain to amuse your cocktail hour guests. Tipsy Tips: To add a delightful buzz to iced coffees, teas, lemonades and other summer whistle wetters, freeze liquors in ice cube trays, such as Bailey’s Irish Cream for a smooth, silky swig; Frangelico for a nutty nuance; Cherry Herring to dial up drinks with rich fruity notes; or key lime liqueur for a potent lip-puckering refresher. Generally, liquor will freeze at a lower temperature than water, and might require a heavy-duty commercial freezer. The lower the percentage of alcohol, the warmer the freezing point. While vodka (80-proof, 40-percent alcohol) will probably not freeze even in an arctic blizzard, coconut rum (17-percent alcohol), crème de rose (18-percent alcohol), Bailey’s (17-percent alcohol), Framboise or raspberry liqueur (5-percent alcohol), Godiva Chocolate liqueur (17-percent alcohol), Cynar, an artichoke-based liqueur (17-percent alcohol) and Amadeus almond liqueur (5-percent alcohol) will freeze nicely to make intoxicating cubes.
Minty Cranberry Ice Cubes ■ Ingredients: • 3 cups of cranberry or pomegranate juice • 24 fresh organic mint leaves • Juice from 1 Meyer lemon (strain out seeds and pulp) ■ Method: In a small pot, bring the juices and 8 leaves to a slow boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool. Strain leaves and pour minty juice into trays. Add two fresh leaves to each cube hollow. Freeze until solid. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

On Choosing Outpatient Treatment for Substance Abuse Substance abuse recovery treatment is a long process that puts strain on the patient’s body as well as the mind. While there is no single method for recovery that is failsafe for everyone, there are many options that can best suit different people and different addictions. The two most common methods are inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment. Inpatient addiction treatment is the most commonly known form of substance abuse rehabilitation. This type of program can keep patients in the rehabilitation
facility for stays between 28 and 90 days. For some patients, this is an ideal method of recovery, because it allows them time away from the distractions as well as temptations from everyday life, since there is no access to drugs or alcohol. But for others, the commitment of a three-monthlong program, away from home and work, can provide additional stress, impeding the addiction recovery process. What inpatient rehabilitation entails is detoxification for the first part of the process, followed by counseling and therapy sessions. These programs, which provide care around-the-clock, are best suited for patients who have had serious addictions to drugs or alcohol for an extended period of time, and who have unstable living environments. The problem some patients have with inpatient addiction rehabilitation centers is being sequestered from their lives. With outpatient addiction treatment, patients can remain in their homes and with their families but are still offered around-
the-clock care if needed. Patients check in each day, except weekends and holidays, to receive medication and counseling. Therefore, people who rely on the support of family and friends can still be surrounded by loved ones throughout the process. Additionally, work life can remain constant throughout the outpatient treatment. Additionally, the cost of outpatient treatment is less than inpatient treatment programs. Those participating in outpatient programs need to work hard to avoid the presence of drugs or alcohol and situations that could trigger relapse. However, a key benefit to outpatient treatment is that patients are working through their therapy in real time, dealing with the issues of day-to-day life while going through recovery. Participants of inpatient programs must wait until release to confront the daily realities and struggles and test what they’ve learned during treatment. However, inpatient addiction treatment might be recommended if patients have a
separate condition beyond addiction, which could be complicated by detoxification. One important consideration is that whatever program is chosen, patients must seek out treatments that address and treat both the physical as well as the psychological addiction. Also, look for an addiction specialist who is licensed, with an education in the field. Make sure the facility itself is also licensed. Patients should have their bases covered and select a facility that offers different treatment lengths, in 45- to up to 90-day programs, even if the full amount of time isn’t needed. Finally, an essential for any treatment program is that it offers relapse assistance. While no one wants to plan for relapse, having the option open in case is a crucial consideration, and that preparation can be the parachute in a tough fall. If you or someone you know is abusing drugs or alcohol, please, don’t wait. Get help before the consequences become worse.

Coldwell Banker Residential Broker welcomes Rune Boswell
R
une Boswell has associated with the La Jolla office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage as an independent sales associate. Prior to associating with CBRB, Boswell was a sales associate at the McTygue Group. He also bartended and served at the Herringbone La Jolla. He had his first experience in real estate 14 years ago when he sold vacation ownership. He earned his real estate license at Klopfer Schools of Real Estate in Pensacola, Fla. He studied business administration and music engineering in college. Boswell lived in Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Florida during his youth because his father was a real estate developer and they moved often. He first moved to La Jolla from Waikiki Beach, Oahu, to work for his friend’s timeshare company as a sales associate. “My father always said real estate was what I was meant to do,” Boswell explained. “I loved what he did, and I love land and the architectural design of homes and what makes them feel inviting, austere, warm, cold and all the other complexities the designer envisioned. I chose Coldwell Banker for the same reason you choose a home. I felt it was a place I could see myself growing, building lifelong relationships and
