BY ASHLEY MACKIN Taking action following recent home burglaries in their neighborhood, residents of the Muirlands area gathered for a well-attended community meeting at a private home on Avenida Wilfredo Aug. 18 to launch a Neighborhood Watch program. Also in attendance was San Diego Police Department Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgessser, who encouraged the formation of the Watch to deter criminal activity, and who offered advice from his 20-plus years on the force. In addition, Hesselgesser fielded questions from the 30 attendees on what they could do to keep their homes safe. Ruo Steensma, who called ASHLEY MACKINthe meeting, said a perceived Community Relations rise crime prompted residents Officer Larry Hesselgesser to form a Neighborhood Watch, starting with a meet-and-greet so they could all become acquainted. “Our house was burglarized in June and we were one of a few that have been victimized this way. We thought it would be good to get to know each other and see what we can do … and possibly set up a Neighborhood Watch and keep our community safe. We’ve lived here for 15 years and we love our neighborhood and we want our children to be safe.” SEE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, A22

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The community advisory group meetings that take place at La Jolla Rec Center’s main hall usually start with the respective chairs tapping or testing the microphones — Can you hear me now? How about now? That’s because the wiring at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St., is around 40 or 50 years old, and in dire need of an upgrade. But this week, an inspection took place that will kick off a “massive and very costly” project to re-wire the building, paid for by the City of San Diego. “This project is going to be managed by San Diego Park & Recreation in liaise with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E),” said Cindy Greatrex, Park & Recreation Inc. president. “The SDG&E component is crucial as the electrical meters will need to be relocated to a better position (they are in the basement now and current code requires them to be accessible to SDG&E 24 hours per day). This project will take many months to complete, and the initial engineering drawings/renderings are being undertaken now.” SEE REC CENTER, A18

La Jolla traffic board eyes roundabouts for Mesa Drive
BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (LJT&T) advisory group heard a plea for traffic calming in the La Jolla Mesa area, specifically a request for a roundabout, during its Aug. 17 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. Citing safety concerns due to speedy drivers, residents hope a physical traffic calming measure will be implemented on La Jolla Mesa Drive at Cottontail Lane. Although no vote was taken, LJT&T chair Dave Abrams agreed to forward the residents’ request to city engineers and report back at a future meeting. “The biggest problem we have is the speed of traffic, which can get up to 80 miles per hour,” said resident Bob Collins. “Now, if you’re going the speed limit, you get passed and (speedy) drivers go over the double-yellow line into the opposing lane of traffic.” He suggested the problem started after roundabouts were installed in Bird Rock in 2008, and said traffic doubled in the Mesa area with motorists who take the residential route as a detour to avoid them. From Pacific Beach, Mission Boulevard becomes La Jolla Mesa Drive almost parallel to La Jolla Boulevard, and feeds into Nautilus Street. Coming from the south, there is a steep hill that leads to a flat straight road, so drivers reportedly speed up the hill and continue at that increased speed on the flat portion. “They did a great job with the roundabouts in Bird Rock, but there has been a trickle-down effect,” Collins said. In the last few years, he added, “The fire hydrant in front of our house has been hit
and taken out twice, and when we had telephone poles before we were undergrounded, a phone pole on the other side of the street was taken out.” To address the problem, the topic of traffic calming was broached at a July La Jolla Mesa Neighborhood Association meeting, and the more than 10 homeowners drafted, and signed, a petition. Resident Stacie Canan said, “We got a lot of support for a physical traffic calming measure. We think it’s gotten to the point, due to use of the street by young kids biking and people walking their dogs, that the speed of cars going up and down poses a safety hazard. It’s a scary place to be.” She added that of the three homeowners surrounding the proposed roundabout location, two of three support the idea, the third could not be reached. To better grasp the potential impact, resident Siegfried Reich said he spoke to those whose houses face the roundabout on Via Capri at Senn Way. “All the ones we spoke to said it was a godsend,” he said. Willing to forward the request to the city, several LJT&T members said they wondered if something less expensive and less impactful, such as a flashing speed limit sign, might be tried first. Chair Abrams said he would report whatever response might be available at the next meeting.
In other T&T news: ■ Green zone extension: After hearing a request by Dr. John Morizi to extend the existing green zone for additional customer

La Jolla Mesa resident Bob Collins speaks on behalf of homeowners hoping for a roundabout on their street. parking on the south side of High Avenue adjacent his animal care office at 1135 Torrey Pines Road, the board decided to postpone a vote until the next meeting so the applicant could speak to residents. There are two existing green, 30-minute parking spaces adjacent the building abutting two more that are not time controlled, which Morizi would like to see converted. Arguing the spaces would “make or break” the success of the practice, he said they are all directly in front of the business, and would not spill into the nearby residential area. “Those spaces get a lot of demand, from mail trucks and service providers (such as phone or cable companies) … so this could actually also be a benefit to the residents when someone comes to their house to perform a service.”
Unconvinced, two residents at the meeting said parking is already impacted, and losing the two spots would make finding parking on their street more challenging. Zoned commercial and residential, LJT&T member Tom Brady said, “Residents park there as well as employees of area businesses, so I’m sure there’s a reason (there are only two spaces). I worry making this change would set a precedent, as there are plenty of businesses in similar areas that would like a green zone in front of their stores,” he said. ■ Green light for two events: With no changes in planning or complaints from the previous year, street closures and the parking plans for this year’s San Diego Triathlon Challenge and La Jolla Art & Wine Festival were approved. A fundraiser for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, representatives from the 23rd annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge requested a temporary street closure, lane closure and No Parking signage related to athletic competition event at Scripps Park on Oct. 23. Similarly, reps for the eighth annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival requested a temporary street closure on portions of Girard Avenue, Silverado and Wall streets related to the annual art walk event Oct. 8-9. The set-up takes place late Friday night (Oct. 7). Applicant Laurel McFarlane said the only change was an expanded tent for the children’s area, to provide more shade. — La Jolla Traffic &Transportation next meets 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21 at Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Permitters have questions about bluff-repair project
Neighbors want quality assurances BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Two tons of dirt and rock sloughed off an oceanfront cliff during a bluff collapse near Tourmaline Surfing Park on Sept. 11, 2015. No injuries or property damage were reported, but on top of that cliff was somebody’s residential property. The owner of the premises at 417 Sea Ridge
Drive reportedly completed an unpermitted seawall to mitigate the damages. After being notified of the code violation by the city, the owner is now applying for a permit to remedy the situation, and the case appeared in front of the Development Permit Review committee (DPR) Aug. 16. Representing the applicant, Michael Morton argued for removing the existing retaining wall and bluff-top improvements and restoring the cliff to “a more natural state.” “(After the cliff failure, the owner) took it upon himself to use an ‘erodible sand slurry’
to infill this bluff area,” said Morton, adding that the beach under the bluff is a popular one, and the owner worried about liability in case more of the cliff earth would crumble. The code enforcement case was opened in April for “grading/walls/repairs without permits on coastal bluff.” City Public Information Officer Anthony Santacroce explained, “The property owner was given a civil notice of violation and has until Sept. 9 to comply with all the regulations regarding permitting, review and inspections. Accrued daily fines of $250-plus may be levied if the
owner does not comply.” Morton, who said his company was hired previous to the bluff collapse but didn’t know of the unpermitted work until it was done, explained that the current project involves removing the bluff-top hardscape (pictured above), a retaining wall built in the 1980s, and the unpermitted seawall to gain space for a sloped “erodible sand slurry mix,” composed of a sandy material that erodes at a slower pace than the naturally occurring mix of sand and boulders. “To really understand the site, you need to

NOW: The unpermitted work done to remediate bluff collapse at 417 Sea Ridge know the geology of La Jolla,” said Morton. He went on to explain that when Mount Soledad was uplifted, very hard material was set at the base of the hill. However, 10-15 million years of erosion (and a possible infill when the area was subdivided, interjected DPR member Mike Costello), covered the bluffs of La Jolla with a very fertile and erodible material. “All the irrigation happens on top of the hill, progresses down Mount Soledad and gets to what they call ‘perch,’” Morton said. “All that water is sitting on that top layer of material and that’s what causes these bluff failures.” If the project is approved, the property’s

pool deck (exposed by the September bluff erosion) will be gone, although the pool on that side of the property will stay with a five-foot setback from the sand slurry slope — a controversial point since neighbors at the meeting opined the pool has to go to ensure the stability of the bluff. DPR member and neighbor Costello prepared a presentation with the help of other residents. “We neighbors are all concerned because we are apprehensive about the quality of what’s done here. This has looked awful, unsafe and unkempt ... and the neighbors want to see something of quality. We are pretty much unanimous that the pool should go. This is not a safe area. It

During public comment, neighbor Mary Lynn Hyde added, “We have watched the bluff fail repeatedly over the years and are very concerned about this project. It sounds really good to stabilize the bluff, but we see it happening all the time, the pools leak, the water pumps fail. My opinion is the pool needs to come out.” On the pool issue, Morton reaffirmed his proposal that the pool stays, but he confessed that the sloped sand slurry won’t provide extra support for the structure. “In the case that more erosion threatens the pool, the pool is out. But our proposal is

basically to maintain a pool patio that’s currently there for the next 75 years.” However, neighbors also disagreed with the length of that guarantee. “Another house down the street that I’m familiar with at the bluff tops, was given a 75-year-guarantee for a 15-foot section of their backyard, which has fallen away,” Costello said. DPR members also had concerns with the effects of the project on the adjacent properties, the requirements for front porch landscaping, the drainage system and the recurring erosion. The applicant was asked to get answers and return to the next board meeting, 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St.

on its site, unlike most of the other murals, which are made using billboard technology, the Murals of La Jolla Art advisory committee decided to identify another painter for this commission,” said Murals of La Jolla curator Lynda Forsha. “The committee, which is made up of the heads of the visual arts institutions in La Jolla, thought Heather Gwen Martin was the ideal artist for this commission. She has a strong connection to San Diego, living here when she attended UCSD, and is, without question, one of the most inventive painters working today. There was great confidence that she would come up with something stunning and dynamic to follow in Kim’s good footsteps.” Forsha added, “In a sense, we have commissioned a very large painting and it will be on view for some time, so it was important to choose an artist who was up to the task of maybe making the largest artwork they’ve ever made. In addition to all of the challenges involved in making a great painting — there is the additional challenge of understanding a scale that most artists might not be familiar with.” Standing three stories tall, this is the largest piece artist Martin has ever done. “I’m very interested in energy and balance and the idea of movement, as though something is in motion and then captured as a moment in time,” Martin said of her work for La Jolla’s public art program. Using bright colors and wispy paint stokes, she said she hopes people will bring their own experiences and where they are in that moment in time to view the piece with an

paintings don’t end where the frame ends, they look like they could go on forever but have to end somewhere,” she said. Commenting on different vantage points from which someone could view the piece — whether it be from afar or up close, looking up or straight on, at the most prominent sides or one its more narrow edges — Martin said she hopes people will also bring their own perspective to see its different angles. “Having never created a mural, I found the process fantastic and overwhelming.” When approached to create something for the Murals of La Jolla program, Martin said she was happy to accept the task. “I lived in San Diego for a time, so I’m familiar with the Murals of La Jolla program and am pleased to be included. I know some of the other participating artists personally and others by reputation, and it’s a great group to be a part of,” she said. Born in Saskatchewan, Canada, but sharing her time between the Great White North and San Diego, Martin said she always had an interest in making things, but it wasn’t until her late teens that she committed to her artistic passion. “I thought for a long time that I would go into medicine or science, but when I was 17, a friend died and I realized you only get one go-around at life, and decided to pursue what I love, which is art,” she said. With a show in Los Angeles that was recently extended, the artist said she would be in La Jolla to see the unveiling. “I visit La Jolla often, so I wanted to be there for the installation process,” she said. “Plus it will be awesome to come back, happen by the site and show it off.”

Permitters OK antenna updates, want historicity for home expansion BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During the Aug. 16 meeting of the Development Permit Review committee (DPR), two permit renewals were approved for AT&T wireless communication infrastructure, and trustees heard a coastal development permit application for the expansion of a single family dwelling at 7991 Prospect Place in the Village. The first request, to renew the permit of an AT&T wireless communication facility, was presented by project manager Caitlin Kes. “We call this a renewal, because we are already there; we already have our permit, but technically this is a new application to an existing wireless facility,” she said. The antenna, located on 2122 Via Casa Alta, property of KGTV, now holds eight AT&T antennas, and AT&T is seeking an equipment change. “The landlord also told us that the tower is a little bit stressed and he wanted to take some stuff off the site, so we’ve been working with him to see what we really need to keep it operational and take off everything else we don’t need,” Kes said. Two of the existing eight antennas will remain, and six will be taken down. Five new devices will be put in place, so the number of antennas that AT&T will own on the tower will be down to seven, with space for one future antenna and four unoccupied positions. The change will upgrade AT&T’s network in the area, amplifying the coverage throughout Mt. Soledad and leaving the door open for new technologies to come. “The goal is to (eventually) go to 5G,” Kes said.
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
DPR member Diane Kane and chair Paul Benton work with AT&T project manager Caitlyn Kes during the project’s first hearing Aug. 9. The phone company employee indicated that the total power output of the antenna would remain stable, and there are no controversial buildings, such as schools or hospitals, in the area. “It’s mostly residences, and even the residences are pretty far away,” she said. The second project consisted of another renewal application for an existing wireless communication facility, this time on 1570 Alta La Jolla Drive. The antenna permit expires next month, and without it, explained project manager Jamo Stephenson, “that whole community would not be able to talk to anyone.” Stephenson pointed out that the 10-year permit doesn’t allow for any changes in the facility. “Even if we switched out another thing that’s about the same size and

frequency, we would need a Substantial Conformance Review (from the City of San Diego),” he said. The projects must pass a final vote at La Jolla Community Planning Association, 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.
In other DPR news: ■ Steel Residence expansion: Plans for a 5,922-square-foot addition to an existing 833-square-foot residence at 7991 Prospect Place were heard. Trustees showed interest in preserving the historic nature of the structure and the practical issues involving the basement and maneuvering cars in the garage. In March 2015, the front cottage on the
site was designated “historical” by the city’s Historical Resources Board. A second building at the rear of the property was denied the designation. The expansion proposal includes the removal of the rear cottage, the addition of a basement, a supplement on the rear of the front cottage and a second-story master suite. Of the plans, DPR chair Paul Benton said, “The neighborhood character is quite strong around this site. It has some wonderful examples of beach cottages and it’s desirable to have something that’s compatible both with the neighborhood and the historic building on the site.” On the design for the addition, member Diane Kane commented, “The Secretary of Interior Standards (for historical buildings) says additions need to be both ‘compatible and differentiated.’... We need to have some flexibility in what we are letting people do, but you still need to keep the historic compatibility of what you are saving.” The applicant was asked to consider changes to the exterior design that increase the compatibility of the design with the historic one, with an emphasis on the roof. The project will again be reviewed at the next DPR meeting, when the applicants will provide information about materials (both existing and proposed), basement excavation and the foundation system in relation to the slope to the west, the proposed automobile lift and views from the side yards of the property to the adjacent building. — DPR next meets 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St.

‘I will hear all views and try to get everyone to reach consensus’
Barbara Bry shares her views on running for City Council How will you handle issues where the community and city disagree, such as with DecoBike? The community unanimously objected to the kiosks, but the city may still proceed with their installation?
BY LA JOLLA LIGHT STAFF lthough San Diego City Council District 1 candidate Ray Ellis (R) has withdrawn from the November run-off race, sole candidate and La Jolla resident Barbara Bry (D) is still actively campaigning. Bry sat down with the La Jolla Light staff to talk about her plans for the all-but-clenched four-year term, and discuss Village issues and how a high-tech entrepreneur from Philadelphia could become La Jolla’s next City Council representative.
A
What prompted your candidacy?
“I’ve lived in San Diego for 35 years, mostly in La Jolla, and I’ve been involved in the community … and I’ve been involved in politics (for other candidates). In 2008, I started Run Women Run, which is a non-partisan group to elect qualified San Diego women, and that got me more engaged in meeting elected officials and learning what they do. With a business in La Jolla Shores for 10 years, I’ve watched the street be torn up a few times, and after the scandal in City Hall (over women’s sexual harassment claims against former Mayor Bob Filner) it all came to a head at a family dinner when I was talking about these issues with my two daughters. They turned to me and said, ‘Mom, you should run for City Council.’ That was in February 2014.”
What do the next few months of the campaign look like for you?
“I still want to learn as much about District 1 as I can. (A few weeks ago), I spent three hours canvassing University City, and my team and I participated in a community clean-up. I plan to continue to do (outreach like) that as much as possible. In the early part of our campaign, our Neighborhood Coffees were extremely important, we did 45

Barbara Bry during an interview with La Jolla Light of them in different parts of the district and we’ve scheduled new ones. They are an important way for me to meet, in small groups, community residents and learn more about their issues and concerns. At the same time, I’m trying to learn more about the issues the city will be confronting. I’m just starting to set up meetings to learn more about that. So it’s pretty much non-stop until November, but my husband and I will take a few days off after the election.”

“When it comes to DecoBike, the community has some valid points. But the reason we want something like DecoBike is we want people to take bikes to reduce air pollution … and I know we have a lot of neighborhood bike shops that rent bikes, so what if there was an app that coordinated all the neighborhood bike shops, so you could rent a bike at one spot and return it at another? With neighborhood bike shops, the bikes would be more customized depending on your size, and they can provide helmets, so why don’t we get the bike shops to join together in some way? Technology makes that very easy today, that could make everybody happy. There are more ways to answer something than what people might see as the obvious. (In cases where constituents and the city disagree) my approach is to get everyone in the room and around the table, where hopefully, there would be some sort of workable solution. What I know about politics is that it is the art of the possible. Everyone usually makes a concession and every situation will be unique, but the way I operate is to hear every point of view and try and get everyone to come to a consensus.”
What are your thoughts on the city permitting process, through which La Jollans will spearhead a project, and then wait while it takes years to see it completed? “I have not had personal experience with this, but I hope we can do a better job.”

www.lajollalight.com In campaigning, you said you want to keep District 1 safe, clean and prosperous. How will you address these issues in La Jolla?
“• Safety is mostly related to police. We have around 170-190 unfilled vacancies in the San Diego Police Department and I want to work with the Police Department on a plan to recruit and retain officers. Hopefully, that will allow a more visible police presence in the Village area. ... Secondarily, Bird Rock has a great Neighborhood Watch program … but my neighborhood doesn’t have a Neighborhood Watch and I thought I would start one in my community and encourage other neighborhoods do the same. • Clean: When you go to the beach after a weekend, there is trash everywhere. So keeping our beaches clean, means getting better trash cans at the beaches, and I don’t understand where there aren’t recycling bins right next to all the trash cans. That’s a big priority for me. • Prosperous: That’s related to jobs. District 1 is the heart of the innovation economy and biotech, in particular, is centered in La Jolla. I really care about making sure this world continues to succeed, but one of the major issues for these companies is access to capital, which comes from all over the world. Many of them feel investors don’t understand the amount of innovation taking place in San Diego, they think of the Zoo and the beaches, they don’t think of us as an intellectual and scientific powerhouse. I want to work on changing that, and as a city official, I have a platform to stand on I wouldn’t have as a private citizen. I can talk to investors from all over the world as to why this is a good place to do business. Since this is the world I come out of, I have a credibility that a normal elected official doesn’t have. I also want to work on establishing more internship opportunities for high school and college students with high tech and biotech companies. So as more and more finish college, they will stay here.”
Our roads are already saturated and it’s hard to get here from other areas. Do you have any transit or transportation plans?
LA JOLLA LIGHT - AUGUST 25, 2016 - PAGE A11
“The trolley is coming to UTC … hopefully that will help that area a lot for those who work on campus or the hospitals; they can use the trolley to get to work. But for the Village, the first part of the traffic synchronization system has gone in (at La Jolla Shores Drive), I don’t know what the results are, but I’d like to see that system expanded up Torrey Pines Road. Another idea is to (support the use of Coastal Access and Parking Funds to) pilot a program to run shuttles from UCSD to the Village during the summer. People who work in the Shores or the Village, or tourists, can park at UCSD and take the shuttle around. Maybe we could use UCSD busses that aren’t used as much in the summer. I’d like to explore that and at least try it in the summer to see if that might alleviate some things.”
Working in La Jolla Shores, do you have any ideas to address sea level rise?
“I don’t have a solution right now, but I’d like to learn more.”
What is the one thing you’d like to see completed or solidified during your term?
“I’ve been focused on neighborhood issues and wanting to work with each community on early things we could actually achieve. In La Jolla, I think that would be (regulation of) Short-Term Vacation Rentals and a solution to the stench at The Cove. In University City, it’s building at least one more fire station. In Carmel Valley, it’s monitoring the construction of One Paseo and ensuring the community has access to emergency services and appropriate response times as traffic increases. Overall, I’d like to build more housing in the city in areas that are appropriate. It’s not really a District 1 issue because we’re built out and zoned for what we’re going to have. But I’d like to work on both housing and moving the innovation economy further south from downtown. There are already about 120 small software companies downtown and there is a shortage of office space, and these are companies that pay well. I’d like to move it from downtown to further south to

past Barrio Logan, where land is less expensive.”
Do you have any worries about becoming a city council member?
“When you do something new, there is always a pit in your stomach, and you are always nervous. In my career I’ve usually been — especially the early years — either the only woman or one of a few women in the room. I’d always have a pit in my stomach and I’d ask myself if I belong here and can I do it? So I have some of that now, I will be honest, I think it keeps you on edge and keeps you from being complacent. But every time I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone, my life has been enriched enormously.”
What are your thoughts on feminism today and women in leadership?
“I am a feminist, and so are my two daughters, who are in their 30s. ... In my daughters, I see the younger generation. The opportunities they have at a younger age are more than was available to me when I was their age. I think that’s a good thing. I know I’ve been a trailblazer and a role model for many other women and I’m proud of that. One of the things I’m most proud of is that my campaign had a very robust high school internship program; they turned out to be some of our best volunteers, especially at The Bishop’s School (and there were other schools as well). We were very fortunate that they got out the third week in May, so they were out two weeks before the election. For those two weeks, they were with us full time, and they were amazing. Many of them volunteered over the summer, and many of them were young women. They were partly motivated by the fact that I am a woman running, and they liked my values and the fact that I was an entrepreneur and what I stand for. I want to take that high school fellowship program to City Hall. I’ve always believed when you have diverse voices at the table you get better results. It’s my goal to have a team at City Hall … that will help me make better decisions.”

FROM BARBARA BRY, A11
What was your upbringing like and what brought you here?
“I grew up outside of Philadelphia in a suburb called Bala Cynwyd, and I went to Lower Merion High School, which became known later because Kobe Bryant went there. I graduated from University of Pennsylvania (before going) to Harvard Business School in the fall of 1974. My parents got divorced when I was a teenager, and my mom worked for a large Philadelphia ad agency, where she was paid less than a male in the same role and there was nothing she could do. She became a psychologist and best-selling author and moved to La Jolla. My mom had a small house on Westbourne Street, right near La Jolla High School. She was very involved here and in the author world and the psychology world. She was memorable. She was Auntie May. She was ahead of her time. She died in 1983 from pancreatic cancer, but she was my most important role model. Her name was Adelaide Bry. I met my first husband in 1977 and he was also here, and I moved here full-time in 1981.”
What do you want people to know about you that they probably don’t?
“I feel like my life has been an open book the last year. … But I’d like people to know I have a good sense of humor, I like to laugh, I like to have a good time and I’m not just all serious. They probably know that the most important thing to me is my family, including my two daughters and my grandson. I often say my life has exceeded my expectations in terms of getting to San Diego and being able to do all the things I’ve been able to do.”
www.lajollalight.com
How will you work with residents and La Jolla’s 13 community boards to keep up with the issues here? Barbara Bry: I’m a very accessible person and I want to continue to be accessible. I will have team members who attend community meetings in the same way most council members do, but I want to call them Community Engagement Coordinators. They aren’t there to passively take notes, they are there to engage with the community. ■ I want to attend as many meetings as I can, but it’s a big district. I don’t want to be a person who sits behind a desk at City Hall five days a week. If I do that, I am not doing my job. ■ I plan to knock on doors once a month or so, to ask, ‘What’s on your mind? What’s going on in your neighborhood?’ ■ I also want to have office hours out in the community, which we would rotate among the libraries in the district. Sometimes on a Saturday, sometimes on a weeknight, but at least once a month I want it to be easier for people to talk to me rather than having to come downtown. Don’t even make an appointment, just come by.
Do you think there’s a sea lion problem at The Cove that’s not being handled? Barbara Bry: Yes. We have to keep them away from people and we can keep them off the beach. I moderated a panel recently that had many types of constituents represented … it was amazing. We had all read the Hanan Report and knew that he believes they are there. There was a consensus … (to implement) a six-point program: ■ 1) Implement a docent program to educate people on what they can and cannot do around the sea lions. ■ 2) Have better signage at The Cove in multiple languages. ■ 3) Implement legal measures to shoo the sea lions off the beach and keep them off the stairs to make sure the beach is accessible to people and swimmers. ■ 4) Apply for a permit to be able to spray sea water on the rocks to reduce the stench. It may work or it may not, but until we try it, we don’t know. ■ 5) Scientifically monitor the water and sand quality in terms of what pollutants are there and how to deal with them, to make sure it’s safe for people. ■ 6) Lifeguards cannot be shooing the sea lions off the beach, they are busy doing their jobs, we need trained personnel hired by or contracted with the city to do this. I think it’s viable to do all of this. Since then, I’ve talked with other people who think we could raise private money to do this, or it might be done through La Jolla Parks & Beaches, but I don’t know. I’ve talked with many people since the panel and as much as I can do at this point, trying to push this along, and I’ve shared this information with the Mayor.

SANDAG
Some of the Mid-Coast Trolley stops in the La Jolla area, leading to downtown San Diego
Mid-Coast Trolley Project Begins
SANDAG team in town to tout the task
New trolley line will extend from UTC Mall to downtown San Diego BY WILL BOWEN The residents who live along Genesee Avenue, across from La Jolla Country Day School, haven’t been getting much sleep lately, and when they do wake up they’re dismayed to find their cars covered in dust. Preliminary work for the Mid-Coast Trolley Project has begun, with workers digging and
drilling almost every night from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., when traffic along Genesee is at its low point for the day. The workers are unearthing and moving utility and sewer lines from the middle of the street and placing them off to the sides. The reason is that the coming trolley, from just before the Mormon Temple all the way to UTC Station, will run over 30 feet above ground on a concrete viaduct. The viaduct will be supported by pilings sunk 40 feet into the center of the street. Hence, the need to move the utility and sewer lines now before
the actual drilling begins. In support of the work, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), an organization with a governing board composed of representatives from all cities in San Diego County (plus the Mayor’s office) and responsible for transportation in the city, sent a team to speak at the Canyon Park Apartment Complex at 9555 Genesee Ave. Composed of civil engineers, construction foremen, marketing and public outreach people, the team was there from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 18 to explain the
project and field questions from community members in an open house-style format. In support, they bought numerous poster boards, renderings, photographs, and a video to share with residents. Deputy Director of Engineering for the project, Frank Owsiany, explained that the new trolley line is scheduled to begin service five years from now in 2021, and will come up from Old Town along the east side of Highway I-5, adjacent to the railroad tracks.

FROM REC CENTER, A1 On Tuesday, Aug. 23, the Center’s electricity was temporarily shut down so an extensive inspection of the current wiring could take place. Tyler Canales, area manager for the Department of Park & Rec explained, “This is a very initial step. Once we see what we’re working with and complete the inspection, we will know how long everything will take, how much it will cost and when we might be able to schedule the work.” Although the cost has not been determined, the City of San Diego has already invested more than $10,000 in the project. “An upgrade was needed,” Canales added. “The wiring wasn’t in bad enough shape that there was a hazard or that anything was going to burn down, but it really needed to be brought up to code.” Lamenting only that the power has gone down at inconvenient times (such as the building’s July 2015 centennial celebration) he said there aren’t many problems with the 101-year-old center. The Rec Center will close for about two months to complete the project, but the outdoor recreation space and restrooms will remain open. In the interim, other area facilities such as La Jolla Community Center, La Jolla Riford Library, and religious intuitions will host the 10 regular community advisory group meetings that occur there every month. “As they say, it takes a Village, and we are blessed to have excellent neighbors,” Greatrex said. “It will be some time before this wiring phase happens, and ample notice will be given to all parties over a period of
The La Jolla Recreation Center will need to be closed for two months while the city updates the electrical wiring. time as we get closer to this.” During the re-wiring, the green curtains flanking the stage will also be replaced with dark brown ones, so they’re more in line with the accent colors in the building. “This is another massive project, as the curtains need to be custom cut and are an incredibly heavy commercial fabric. The Espresso Brown is a spot-on match to the trim at the Rec, and the brown color favored by architect Irving Gill,” she said. With the new wiring and more contemporary curtains, the Rec Center would provide a better setting for the planned youth theater program. Following a donation from the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation, executive director Doug
Dawson suggested a revival of the company that existed at the Rec in the 1950s and ’60s. Greatrex explained, “We have been doing some archival work and discovered that in those days, the Rec Center had both Broadway lights (multicolor lights ceiling mounted behind the curtain) and also footlights, which extended out on metal tracks from beneath the stage, which have since been removed. We have restored the Broadway lights and will look into recreating the footlights after the wiring job is completed.” Philanthropists Art and Jeanne Rivkin purchased a baby grand piano for the stage, and local volunteers will offer classes in acting, singing, stage direction and

set-building, culminating in a play in late 2017. To further determine community desires for the Rec Center, Greatrex said a series of forum dates are planned. With money in the coffers that could be used for anything the community may want (“within reason,” she laughed), the Rec Center board will find out what that is and if they can provide it. Built by architect Gill and funded by benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, who donated the land across from her home, the La Jolla Rec Center was established to give children a place to play, a place for men to congregate without liquor and a place for the civic groups to meet in the evenings. ■ On the Web: bit.ly/ljreccenter

Modern Home Systems offers easy programming plans BY DAVID L. CODDON So you think monitoring the security of your home from afar or having your favorite music play throughout the house is beyond your means? Not necessarily, says Danielle Twilegar, marketing manager for Modern Home Systems (formerly La Jolla Home Theater & Automation). “This is no longer a niche market,” according to Twilegar. “It’s starting to apply more to mass market and not just the top 5 percent of San Diego in terms of income.” Modern Home Systems, now owned by Otto Benson, who acquired the company in 2013, is family-owned and operated with 11 employees on staff. None of the work performed in clients’ homes or businesses, whether locally or out of town, is done by subcontractors. The company’s specialties include home automation systems, whole-house music systems, home-theater rooms, operation networking and wiring. “Our biggest specialty is home automation,” said Twilegar. “That entails allowing the homeowner to control everything, from lighting to audio-video. You name it, we can program it. You can control everything from an iPhone or an iPad.” This means convenience for the client. “There are a lot of Smart devices out there,”
Modern Home Systems has built home-automation systems from coast-to-coast — including Hawaii. said Twilegar, “but nothing like our product, where it’s integrated all into one app. You don’t have to toggle between multiple apps to have the fluidity to control things.” Modern Home Systems is an Apple authorized reseller and its employees include Apple technicians. Its chief home automation platform is Savant, which is Apple based. “We wanted to become Apple specialists so

that we can understand the system inside and out, and handle the whole system from a service standpoint,” Twilegar said. “We know people who tend to gear toward Apple seem to be Apple (users) across the board in terms of their devices.” Modern Home Systems, then, gives them all-in-one control. After home automation systems, home audio is the company’s most
popular specialty system. “Who doesn’t love music?” Twilegar asked rhetorically. “With the products that are available we can accommodate both mass-market and real high-end audiophiles.” These clients are not confined to the San Diego area, either. Besides its customers in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Modern Home Systems has undertaken projects in Boston, New York, Florida, and even Hawaii. Closer to home, when La Jolla Home Theater & Automation acquired Modern Home Systems three years ago, its entire client database went with it. Plus, “the transition with the new clients was pretty seamless,” Twilegar recalled. Being a home automation system client usually doesn’t stop with the initial installation project, either. “They (Modern Home Systems’ clients) seem to be lifelong customers once we get them because technology is ever evolving. When new products come out and they want us to install them as well, we have to program the new devices into their homes.” ■ Modern Home Systems is at 7007 Carroll Road, San Diego.

AUSTRALIAN AUCTION PROCESS HITS U.S. REAL ESTATE MARKET TOTAL PROPERTIES LISTED 357 PROPERTIES SOLD 324 AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET 24
H
ave you noticed the amount of auctions going on in Southern CA lately? If you didn’t know any better, you might think we are back in 2008. But if you look closer, you’ll realize it’s different; it’s Australian. The last 24 months have created curiosity, questions and excitement about a unique twist to real estate sales. For decades in the USA, the auction process has been associated with foreclosures and distressed properties. For decades, most Realtors could only provide one option for helping their clients sell their home for top dollar… Not anymore! Did you know our Aussie friends from down under, have been conducting traditional real estate sales via auction for nearly 130 years? In 1888, JB Harcourt, a hardworking visionary, opened Harcourt & Co. He wanted to provide more than just traditional real estate sales, so he got his auctioneer license and began providing homeowners with 2 options for selling their property. “Our process doesn’t replace traditional sales, it simply enhances them by providing owners another option for selling their property,” says Ben Brady head Auctioneer Head of Auctioneering Harcourts USA Ben Brady.
In 2010, Harcourts entered the USA placing its headquarters in Newport Beach. In 2014, Harcourts brought their Australian Auction Platform into the USA. With over 162 successful auctions in 2014 and 269 in 2015 Harcourts’ 93% success rate is causing naysayers to open their minds and accept that the process works the same way in the USA as it does in many countries around the world. This process steers away from distressed homes. Did you know that in Australia and in many other countries around the world, the auction process accounts for nearly 65-70% of all real estate sales? The process aims at achieving the fair market value for the property in a faster, more transparent procedure. “When you really look at it, we are simply accelerating the sales process to get the owner fair market value faster, in a more transparent process with a 93% sales rate in 35 days or less, 98% of the time with multiple offers and 95% escrow close rate. The numbers don’t lie and they are impressive. I wish we could sell all homes this way,” says Justin Brennan, La Jolla Realtor 619-823-2120 CalBRE #01866398 Justin Brennan.
How is it different than other auction platforms in the USA? 1.No buyer premium. 2.Don’t have to wait for the auction date to offer on the home. More than 70%, sell prior to the live auction date. 3.Fully disclosed process: all reports, disclosures, inspections, termite report, request for repairs, etc. are done upfront increasing the success of closing to 95% vs. 70% as seen in traditional sales. 4.Fully financeable just like a traditional sale. 5.Attract owner occupied buyers. “Nearly 85% of the buyers of our auction properties are owner occupied buyers, another reason we are able to achieve fair market value,” says Auctioneer Ben Brady. Additional benefits of choosing this option are you set the terms and conditions of sale, marketing with a bidding price to start ensures the final sales price is negotiated up, not down as is the case in a traditional sale. And by setting a sale date for auction, creates a sense of urgency, bringing buyers to a point of decision. “It’s never the promise of a price from an agent that gets a property sold…. it’s the process which gets the true market value that gives a seller the chance to say yes or no,” comments Head Auctioneer, Ben Brady. Open houses are one of the most effective ways of marketing a property and attracting interest from a wide variety of buyers. When choosing to sell your home through auction,
open houses are essential, so that potential bidders can get a good feel for the home before committing to attend the auction. A positive statistical sales rate, together with property being on the market for shorter periods of time, have many regarding auctions as the most successful ‘non-price’ method of selling. “What I love about the Australian Auction Platform is that it gives our sellers options. While the process is not proprietary to Harcourts, Harcourts is currently the only real estate company in the USA that has its own in-house auction division,” says Harcourts broker/owner, Tiffany Torgan Philips, Tiffany Torgan Business Owner/Broker CalBRE #01940952 Philips. There is a lot to be excited about and much more coming. Harcourts hopes in time, all U.S. real estate companies will embrace this process and begin providing it as another option for their agents to help homeowners in La Jolla and throughout the United States. “It’s a great way to sell homes. I’ve found that once I explain it to buyers, sellers and agents, they see the benefits and how it helps them get what they want, while reducing the headaches we all deal with purchasing or selling real estate. It’s a well thought out system that’s been shaped over 130 years of success,” says La Jolla Realtor Justin Brennan.

FROM NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, A1 It was noted that a home on Avenida Mañana, a few blocks away, was burglarized twice in a short time. Although Hesselgesser reported there have been four home invasions this year in the area, residents insist there have been more. Citing short-staffing and regular attrition of officers, Hesselgesser said there isn’t enough manpower to be proactive and patrol problem areas, so Neighborhood Watch programs serve as the eyes and ears of the police department. “When I first started as a police officer, we loved having time to sit and watch an area. Today, when cops arrive in the morning, there is a page of calls waiting for them to get to. They are literally going from one call to another. So we rely on groups like this,” he said. “And this is the perfect way to start, get to know your neighbors, get a better sense of who lives here and who should be here.” Suggesting a buddy-system between neighbors, Hesselgesser said additional attention needs to be paid when a resident goes out of town. “My next door neighbor is my best ally when I go on vacation,” he said. Activities he encourages include: picking up the mail; picking up anything that may have been thrown in your driveway, such as newspapers; taking trashcans in and out; and watching the house. “That’s what a buddy system and Neighborhood Watch is all about,” he said. “It’s good to have neighbors you watch out for, that could do the same for you.” But for everyday, individual security, he recommends keeping doors, windows and gates locked; making it appear as though someone is home at all times; and utilizing social media. “We have a lot of burglars coming around during the day, acting like they are selling something. Their Method of Operation, or MO as we call it, is to see if you are home. So they will ring the doorbell and knock on the door almost obnoxiously. If they don’t get any answer, they are going to check if your side gate is open,” he said. “If you take one thing away from this meeting, it’s keep your side gate locked. Just that one little tip will make your house safer than your neighbor’s. Bad guys are looking for the path of least resistance. If you make your house a little bit harder to get in, they are going to look somewhere else.” To falsify the appearance of someone — or something — being at home, he recommends leaving the TV or radio on, or making it seem as though you have a dog, “by even just posting a ‘beware of dog’ sign or throwing some dog toys in the yard.” Because burglars typically “want to get in,
grab jewelry, money or guns and get out,” Hesselgesser said they do not want to be seen or encounter someone. However, he explained there are also those that will enter a home at night, knowing families are inside but not expecting to be caught. “They check for unlocked car doors to get garage door openers, because most people do not lock the door from their garage to their house. And they know women leave their purses near the front door, so they come in, grab the purse and a few things downstairs and are gone within a few minutes. They are not generally there to have a confrontation,” he said. To report among neighbors when these incidences occur, he said the website nextdoor.com provides a place to post information that can be checked from a smartphone. “You can communicate on a day-to-day basis if need be, and it’s not like Facebook, because you have to verify that you live in the area and use your real name,” he said. “So if you have a good lead on something that’s going on that should not be going on (maybe someone going door to door casing the neighborhood), you can report it online and make your neighbors aware within seconds.” Hesselgesser said he uses a program called “Ring” in his home. With the equipment, he said, “When someone comes within a certain range that you set, it starts recording video. If someone hits the doorbell, it will also ring and take video. This is how we see those who are coming to the door.” Additionally, there is an option to connect the feed to your smartphone. “It alerts you when someone sets off the motion detector. If the doorbell rings, I get a different chime and it alerts me. So there have been times when I’ve been at work, the kids are at school, and I know there is no one that should be at my door and I get the ring. I turn on the volume control option, so I can talk to the person, ask them what they want and they think I’m home,” he said. Appreciative of all the advice, residents agreed to discuss the options that best suit their neighborhood and start a Watch program. A first course of action, Hesselgesser joked, is to replace the faded, dated Neighborhood Watch sign on their street. “It belongs in a museum,” he said. ■ TO GET INVOLVED: Those interested in joining the Murilands Area Watch can e-mail ruosteensma@yahoo.com and those who would like to start a Watch in their neighborhood (or schedule a meeting with Officer Larry Hesselgesser) can e-mail lhesselgesse@pd.sandiego.gov

The trek, organized by the Christian Community Development Association, intends to start a conversation on three topics: the business and tourism needs of the country, national security, and the needs of the undocumented. “In the absence of good, dynamic, responsive immigration policy, we’ve created this system with a permanent underclass that are the undocumented,” said event organizer Michelle Warren. — María José Durán

OUR READERS WRITE Group forced to end La Jolla summer concerts La Jolla Concerts by the Sea will cease operations at the end of this season of free summer concerts due to increased requirements imposed by the city and county, and a lack of community support. Since 1984, Scripps Park at La Jolla Cove has been filled with the sounds of live music on summer Sunday afternoons, provided by La Jolla Concerts by the Sea, a California not-for-profit corporation. Over the course of 33 years, the City of San Diego has eliminated the services they once provided to aid in the presentation of these concerts and increased fees charged, as well as requirements for facilities to be provided by the organizers. Only seven of the eight concerts in this year’s series had sponsors. Offers of assistance from the community — whether in the way of direct financial support or volunteer assistance with fundraising or the work of producing the concerts — have not been forthcoming. At this time, there are also capital expenditures to repair and/or replace aging equipment that would be needed to continue the concert series for the next decades, but that doesn’t seem wise in the face of the increasingly uphill battle to meet our costs for the long term. The board of directors has decided to stop operations after the 2016 season and will not move forward with plans for a 2017 season or beyond. The corporation will, however, maintain its remaining assets for one to two years with the hope that someone in the San Diego community will come forward with a long-term financing plan that could make resurrecting the concerts a viable option. Anyone with offers of assistance can e-mail info@ljconcertsbythesea.org or may contact president Shirleymae Davis at (858) 459-4053 or sdavis@sdavis-law.com Shirleymae Davis
Ellis supporter saddened by candidate’s decision to quit city council race Dear Ray Ellis, Your message (to bow out of the November race for District 1 City Council) was like a punch in the solar plexis ... it just took my breath away and saddens me no end for it means that my dollars and time “investment” in your candidacy to date was a pure waste. Here I was gearing up my personal commitment to “make it happen” for you in November, thinking that your silence since June meant that you were strategizing on how your campaign would “take
Sweet Scene from a Century Ago I recently came across this photograph of The Andersons at La Jolla Cove around 1919. You can see Brockton Villa in the background. My great grandfather was a senator from Minnesota and every summer he would bring the family to La Jolla and rent one of the cottages here. The little boy is my father, James, who passed away a few years back and would have been 98 this year. He is pictured here with his father, my grandfather (far left). Sadly, the cottages are rotting away, but they were the scene of many a happy time for my family almost a century ago. — Mark Anderson it to your opponent” so the Republicans could control our City Council. Now the “party of the left” will have free rein to set the direction of San Diego for the next four years. As I reflect on your folding your tent and stealing away in the dark of night, I am reminded of words uttered by Winston Churchill to the effect, “Never give in, never, never ... we will fight on the beaches, in the fields, etc.” Would General George Patton in December 1944 in the midst of the Battle of the Bulge have said, “Heck, Ike, I can’t turn the whole 3rd Army on a dime and push over 100 miles in the snow and cold to come to the aid of General McAuliffe in Bastogne to save the American Army and keep the Wehrmacht from winning this battle and prolonging this damned war.” No, he didn’t say that! He DID turn the 3rd Army north and drove all his tanks/equipment/men to engage the enemy and caused that battle to be won! Here’s the creed of our Navy SEALs: “I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.” All of your supporters had faith in you. Fifty-two percent of the voters in the primary voted AGAINST your opponent so, she was not a “sure thing,” as I looked at this field of verbal and policy battle. Your glass was half full. I think you viewed your glass as being half empty and so you cashed in your chips without a whimper and disappointed your supporters who thought you were our man to win this council district. Did your “much thought” include talking with a wide group of those of us who believed
you were “our man?” Or did you make this decision only as between you and your wife/family? Your supporters are deserving of more words from you than this e-mail you sent out which looks like it was sent AFTER you had already told your opponent and a newspaper columnist. In my opinion, using what’s happening at the top of the Republican ticket is a poor excuse. Who was the politician who once wisely said, “All politics is local?” And so it is here. Will your plan going forward to “work to make San Diego a better place” include 1) Stopping DecoBike coming to the beach communities where they are hurting small businesses? 2) Stopping the Short-Term Vacation Rental scourge in our neighborhoods? 3) Stopping and reversing the installation of cell phone towers close to homes in residential neighborhoods and in city parks, which is illegal? 4) Stopping the increase pillaging of Mission Bay Park revenues to fund Regional Parks via the City Charter 55.2 Amendment proposed for the November ballot, especially since it appears all the pertinent facts were not considered when the Council voted to put it on the ballot? 5) Curing the disaster with those “sea rats” in Children’s Pool and The Cove, which our current city councilwoman and Congressional representative have avoided at all costs? 6) Work to see that the Chargers do not rip off the city for a new playpen for millionaire muscle merchants in downtown San Diego? Sadly, I am crushed that MY candidate cashed in his chips early. Nevertheless, I wish you well and every success to do, as you wrote, “make San Diego a better place.” I will be watching and so will all your jilted supporters, Ray. Lou Cumming

... that turned a blind eye to numerous warnings and let things go a bit too far GUEST FABLE
BY BRADLEY WOOD nce upon a time, not too long ago, there was a small town that had set aside a protected beach where the children of that town could go to learn how to swim without fear of drowning or being swept out to sea. The people named that beach “The Children’s Pool” and that’s where most of the children of that town learned how to swim. It was a place where parents could spend time with their friends and have picnics on a summer day without having to worry about their children’s safety. But one day, a Big Daddy Seal crawled onto this beach and plopped down on the warm sand. He liked it very much and told all of his friends what a wonderful place he had found. It wasn’t too very long before “The Children’s Pool” turned into “Seal Party Central,” and what had been a peaceful spot for people on the sand became overly crowded with the seals and their pups. At first this was much to the delight of the children who thought of the pups as cute little pets, but it wasn’t until many of the children were badly bitten and one was dragged out to sea, that the townspeople realized maybe a problem had arisen. A rope barrier was erected to protect the seals. However, it was quite ineffectual and it wasn’t until one child’s mother lost two fingers on her left hand trying to pull her little one out of a seal’s mouth, that warning signs were posted. But, of course, there were some people who ignored the warnings and chose to swim in spite of the seals in what had become a very toxic environment. Incidents of hepatitis rose dramatically and one swimmer lost his life to hungry seals. Before this, the seals were content gorging themselves on fish, but as their population grew in numbers, there weren’t enough fish to go around and the seals took to eating anything in the area. The “seal issue” divided the town. There were those who were very happy that the seals had their own beach and there were those who wanted to turn the beach back into “The Children’s Pool” and relocate the seals. This issue went on for a number of years. Experts were called in to propose solutions, but none met with any approval. As time went by, the seal population increased tenfold and it wasn’t long before a large group of sea lions joined their cousins on a neighboring beach. It was agreed that as long as the seals and sea lions stayed on the beaches, the townspeople would tolerate the situation and find other places to sun and swim. However, as the beaches became more and more crowded, the animals decided that the rocks along the coast would be better places for peaceful snoozes in the sun and the rocks became their new homes. This, too, was tolerated for a while until the rocks became covered with animal droppings and the stench got

blown into the town by the gentle sea breezes. Experts were called in to offer solutions, but none were met with any approval. Restaurants soon closed because of the awful smell and people began selling their homes and moving away from the coast because of the terrible odor, which grew worse as the animal population increased. The beaches were left to the intruders and swimming in the ocean became a fond memory. It wasn’t until the seals and sea lions actually began taking up residences in the town that the townspeople who were left realized they had allowed the problem to go a bit too far. Traffic would reach a standstill whenever a family of seals decided to cross a main boulevard. The animals’ constant barking kept the town awake at night. The streets were full of seals and sea lions, and were filthy with their droppings. As the situation grew worse, people were afraid to return to their homes because they would find a group of hungry sea lions camped on their front porches. Vacant restaurants became animal “housing projects” and the
invaders were everywhere. Schools closed, banks shut their doors. People stayed indoors all day watching television. Newspaper and mail delivery were things of the past. Family pets disappeared. Experts were called in, but could only throw up their hands. There was nothing anyone could do. The situation had gotten so out of hand that no one could live there anymore and that quaint little seaside village became an animal preserve, which it is to this day. — Author’s Note: As a former La Jolla resident (my wife and I lived there for 40 years and now live in Palm Desert), we are very familiar with the seal/sea lion situation. We spent many wonderful days both at The Children’s Pool and The Cove as our children were growing up. Being readers of La Jolla Light, we continue to read about this ongoing problem and although we have no solution to offer (I wish we did), I’ve written this short, tongue-in-cheek story. It might add some levity to quite a problematical state of affairs.

From there, it will skirt around the VA Hospital before emerging onto Genesee near Regents Road. It will then head down Genesee to its end stop at the UTC Mall (aka Westfield UTC Shopping Center). Owsiany said the project will cost more than $2 billion dollars. “52 percent of the money is coming from the local half-cent TransNet sales tax hike and 48 percent from a grant from the federal government’s Federal Transit Adminstration (FTA),” he said. “The San Diego Trolley Project actually won out over several other like-projects nationwide that were also considered for funding.” According to Owsiany, you will be able to ride all the way from UTC to the Mexican

Civil engineer John Dorow said SANDAG hired architectural firm Parsons Brinkerhoff to design the elevators and waiting plazas at the new stations. Kristen Byrne, of MJE Marketing, has been working on the project since 2009. She told the crowd, “The new trolley extension will be great for the students at UCSD and will link University City, which is our ‘second downtown,’ with our actual downtown. The Mid-Coast Corridor the trolley serves is a business hub with over 325,000 jobs.” Dave Smith, a construction foreman with 32 years of experience, said three construction companies — Stacy & Witbek, Skanska, and Herzog — have joined forces for the project because it is so massive.

Ellis campaign makes excuses, won’t be missed While Ray Ellis is a nice, well-meaning person, I find his tantrum disingenuous. Admit your campaign had no message; you barely did any outreach and Barbara Bry
worked five-times harder than you. To say that somehow the Republican national candidate for president did you in is silly and seriously out of touch. Why did you get spanked in 2012 when there was no Trump even on the radar then? Own it, Ray! You had no message and were sleepwalking through the primary. Don’t try to blame issues that had nothing to do to affect a District 1 primary. Maryanne Beckham at lajollalight.com

Mike started his business, Mike Barth Photography, in La Jolla, California. He maintained a level of quality in his work and a camaraderie with the community that was unmatched for over 40 years until his retirement. Mike was a principle part of the fabric that was the La Jolla and University City communities where he worked and lived. In 2014 Mike and Sidoney moved to Spokane, Washington, for its closeness to nature, which Mike loved dearly. Mike carried a beautiful persona and spirit with himself at all times that affected everyone
positively. He caught many fish in his life, and he planted many a tree. Some of them stand in his remembrance; he planted the Torrey Pines that grow alongside the highway that enters La Jolla. Mike is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sidoney, and his sons, Dan and Steve. He will be missed by Dan’s fiancée, Kelli; daughter-in-Law, Becky; two grandsons, Dorian and Spencer; brother, Jerry; sister-in-Law, Nancy; and many other family members and friends.

Dr. Richard Haynes Grimmett December 6, 1928 - July 4, 2016
La JoLLa — Dick passed away at his residence from heart failure. He was born in Rochester, Michigan, to Isabel and Roger Grimmett. Dick loved outdoor activities including tennis, sailing, skiing, wilderness adventures and gardening. He elected challenging hobbies such as computer programming and learning German. Family life was his highest priority and he found happiness in marriage and staying close to his two sons. Dick grew up in ohio and moved to Vancouver, BC, during high school years. He graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1950. During college he worked on alaska cruise ships to pay tuition. For fun he and his friends skied Grouse Mountain, hiking to the top with skies on their backs. Dick attended medical school at McGill University
in Montreal. He married Pamela Joan McCorkell in 1951. Together they worked to pay for all of Dick’s medical education. Dick did his initial residency in Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and entered a Navy residency in 1957 by serving in the San Diego Naval Hospital. He entered his Dermatology profession with a private practice in San Diego and was active in medical organizations serving as President of the
San Diego Dermatology Society and President of the Sonoran Dermatology Society. He found it very rewarding managing his private practice and serving the community continuously from the same initial location until retirement. Establishing his family life in Del Mar and then La Jolla was a great pleasure in Dick’s life. He designed and oversaw construction of his own house. as a board member he helped guide the early development of the nearby La Jolla YMCa. Dick and his wife, Pam, raised three kids, Richard Jr., Todd and Tom. Sadly, Richard Jr. died of cancer at age 11. Many lifetime family friends supported Dick and his family through this tragedy. Dick was predeceased by his beloved wife of 47 years, Pamela Joan McCorkell Grimmett. He married again in 1998
Ray Ellis really was a non-candidate who lacked connection with the constituents. I only met Barbara Bry once and spoke to her briefly. I’ve read her website and plans. I feel she has her values in place and knows what it takes to be a good representative of her district and I believe she cares about San Diego. With her intelligence and drive, I am sure she can really make a difference. She’s a nice lady to talk to also! Gary Whitehead at lajollalight.com

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), “among children born 1994-2013, vaccination will prevent an estimated 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations, and 732,000 deaths over the course of ther lifetimes, at a net savings of $295 billion in direct costs and $1.38 trillion in total societal costs.” In recent years, we’ve looked eagerly for vaccines for HIV, Hepatitis C, Ebola, the Zika virus, and other emerging diseases, just as in the past people looked for vaccines for polio, measles, mumps, rubella and smallpox. Many of the vaccinations we receive in this country are for “childhood illnesses.” Despite the title, these illnesses can be quite serious or even deadly, especially for the very young, the elderly, or those with immune systems compromised by diabetes, cancer, lung diseases or other illnesses. Check to see if your immunizations are all up to date — immunity to many diseases, such as whooping cough and tetanus — can dissipate over time, and the flu vaccine is different each year. Melissa Stafford Jones Regional Director, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Editor’s Note: All children under age 18 who enter a California public or private elementary or secondary school for the first time, or transfer between schools, must present a written immunization record that includes at least the month and year of receipt of each dose of required vaccines (or an exemption to the immunization requirements). Otherwise, the child will not be allowed to attend school. • Students entering Kindergarten: Diphtheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus (DPT): 5 doses. Polio: 4 doses. Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR): two doses. Hepatitis B: 3 doses. Varicella (chickenpox): 1 dose. • Students entering Grade 7: Tetanus, reduced Diphtheria, and acellular Pertussis (Tdap): 1 dose. MMR: 2 doses. • Children entering Grades 7-12: All of the above, plus 1 Tdap booster shot given after their 7th birthday. — Source: sandiegounified.org/student-health-requirements and/or cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/faqs-vpd-vac.htm
CORRECTIONS ■ In the Aug. 18 La Jolla Light, a story about residents starting a GoFundMe campaign to buy replacement sod for Capeheart Dog Park on Soledad Mountain Road stated that the donated funds were for watering the sod once it was in place. Not so, said project coordinator Ron McChesney: “We raised the funds to pay for the sod, NOT the water. We expect the city to install the sod AND to water the park for the long term.” The Light apologizes for the error. ■ In the Aug. 18 story, “Nobel Prize winner’s home dismantled while awaiting designation in La Jolla,” a photo caption read “Louis W. Perry died in 2015.” While it is correct that a man named Louis W. Perry passed away that year, it was NOT the Louis W. Perry who lived at 2345 Via Siena, where Perry and his wife Margaret Griffin-Mayer lived for 30 years. Her death last March prompted the selling of the property. Her husband, Louis W. Perry is alive and well, and the Light apologizes for the confusion. — To share your thoughts in this public forum, e-mail editor@lajollalight.com or mail them to La Jolla Light Editor, 565 Pearl St., Suite 300, La Jolla, CA 92037.

Betty Beyster continues tradition of philanthropy
B
etty Beyster grew up in Texarkana and graduated from the University of Texas, Austin with majors in education and sociology. During a summer job at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, she met Dr. J. Robert (Bob) Beyster and they were married in 1955. They moved to La Jolla in 1957, where Bob founded Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in 1969. The couple have three children, Jim, Mark and Mary Ann; two grandchildren, Cody and Brad; and Betty Beyster one great-grandchild, Garrett. Betty is an avid gardener. She also has a longstanding interest in supporting music, nursing, higher education and the military. Because of her concern about the ongoing shortage of nurses, the Betty and Bob Beyster Institute for Nursing Research, Advanced Practice, and Simulation at the University of San Diego (USD) opened in 2015. Betty’s House at the Salvation Army’s Door of Hope was named in her honor, and she has supported many student scholarships over the decades through ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists). In 2016, Betty and her daughter Mary Ann were named “Cool Women” by Girl Scouts San Diego. Betty was honorary co-chair of the 2014 USO Stars & Stripes gala. She is looking forward to San Diego USO’s unveiling reception for the Bob and Betty Beyster Patio 1-3 p.m. Aug. 26 at the USO Neil Ash Airport.
Martha Dennis shares obstacles she faced in technology career BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN hen young doctoral student Martha Dennis left Harvard University without writing her thesis and moved to La Jolla in 1970, her adviser prophesied she would not complete it. “(He) announced to me that no female graduate student who moved away ever finished her thesis, and I took that as a challenge,” Dennis said during an Aug. 18 speech at the La Jolla Woman’s Club as a guest of the organization’s “Women in Leadership” speaker series. Dennis successfully completed her thesis, just one example of the many challenges she overcame throughout her 60-year career as a female technology and software engineer, entrepreneur and CEO. The next was right around the corner when as she was forming her thesis committee, one of the professors she invited told her, “I’d be happy to be on your committee, just be sure to wear those sexy earrings I like so much, I’ll be sure to pass you.” “I’d like to believe that in 2016 women can be taken seriously anywhere they go, but that’s still a work in progress,” Dennis said at the start of the speech detailing her career in the male-dominated field of technology engineering. Her first contact with prejudice came in high school, she explained, when she had to sneak into her professor’s office without being seen by her friends to talk science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). “When I was in high school, interest in STEM wasn’t even affectionately called ‘nerdy’ or’ geeky,’ instead, if you

Martha Dennis after her speech at the La Jolla Woman’s Club Aug. 18. were interested in these areas in a big way, you were just plain ‘weird,’ and especially if you happened to be a female,” she said. But the bias against women didn’t end in academia, Dennis reported. During her first job interview after receiving her Ph.D. she impressed the interviewer with her resumé, but was informed she would not be made an offer, “because I was a married woman at a child-bearing age, and with no
doubt, eager to have children. … I was powerless at combating his attitude, but it really warms my heart to know that what that interviewer said to me is totally illegal today.” Motivated by a desire to make lives easier through technology and keeping a passion for technology that she still practices, Dennis took over her career with SEE WOMAN’S CLUB, B18
What brought you to La Jolla? In 1957, my husband Bob received a job offer from General Atomics in La Jolla; we lived in Los Alamos, New Mexico at the time. We visited La Jolla and fell in love with the community. I told Bob, “Oh, yes! Let’s go there!” If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? We are avid supporters of music and the arts in La Jolla, and if I could snap my fingers and make it happen, the new Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center would be open right now — filling our community with beautiful music.

he oil portrait that my father commissioned of me in July, 1966 when I was 18 had been embalmed in bubblewrap for more than four decades in the back of a closet, the downside of my not having moved in 43 years. But when I realized last month that it was the 50th anniversary of this work, I decided it was time to either hang it, dump it, or inflict it on the kids. The question as I unwrapped it was: Would I still dislike it as much as I had when I first saw it? The last time this thing had seen light was when the Navy movers packed it up in our house in Denver in 1973. The verdict: Still couldn’t bear to hang it. It’s not as though it wasn’t a good likeness of me at the time. I was incredibly slender, the result of having, against all advice, consumed a glass of local tap water when Olof and I first arrived in Brazil for our senior year of high school as exchange students. (Instant 30 pound weight loss. Eat your heart out, Hydroxycut!) Unlike now where my cheekbones are hidden under years of food felonies, my cheekbones were my most prominent feature then, and my eyes in my much thinner face really looked that large. It was the expression that I hated.
I showed the portrait to Olof who, of course, knew me at that age. “Wow,” he commented, “somebody looks a little grumpy.” I would have said “sullen” myself. I’ve always been a smiler and I’m sorry the artist insisted on a more somber pose, as he also did in the portraits my father commissioned of my sister and mother. We all three look like we’re having a really, really bad day. Not to disparage the artist, but I’m kind of wondering if he just wasn’t very good at painting teeth. In a moment of diabolical genius, I decided I would wrap the portrait up and bestow it on my six-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. I would emphasize what a precious heirloom it was and how honored I was for her to have it. Marketing is everything. Or not. Was it worth compromising my excellent relationship with my wonderful daughter-in-law? She would not be happy to have this opus unloaded on her. I finally decided to take a picture of the portrait and send it to both sons, commenting that I was probably going to throw it out. To my surprise, both quickly responded that it should be saved as a family
heirloom. Please note, however, that neither of them offered to take possession of it. So what exactly do you do with a portrait that you don’t like and nobody wants? One of my objections to the portrait was that it looked a tad caricature-y, a trait my older son Rory picked up on also: “It almost looks like those big-eyed waifs from the ’60s. Please don’t give this away; it’s a family heirloom. Personally, I don’t want it. But how about a T-shirt version for Christmas?” My younger son Henry had a different slant: “Obviously, you cannot throw it away. It is something you have to inflict on our kids by passing it down!” Let’s be clear he meant the grandchildren generation, currently too young to protest, not himself and Rory. But then I thought, maybe that’s not a bad idea. And it could follow a family tradition as well. When I was growing up, our family had an 18-inch-tall plastic Santa, lit up on the underside by 4-watt bulbs, hanging over the mantle every Christmas. Part of its charm was its utter tackiness, and when the family moved to New Jersey in 1968, my two siblings and I were adamant that it couldn’t be thrown away. Not that any of us actually wanted it, mind you, but it had history. (In Olof’s family, it was the pollywog pan, a cheap aluminum vessel that he and his siblings used to catch pollywogs in in the creek behind their house. There is no accounting for the taste and emotional attachments of kids.) What we finally decided to do with Plastic Santa was share him: whoever had him in their possession ambushed, er, gifted it, usually in cleverly-disguised wrapping, to another sibling at random times.

a sibling attempted pre-emptive interference. “Looking forward to seeing you next week but please do NOT bring Plastic Santa if you were planning to. We’re moving soon and have no place to store it! I’m SERIOUS!” But invariably the Santa would show up. So maybe that will be my legacy to the five grandkids: the round robin infliction of the portrait of Grumpy Grandma. They could even re-purpose it as an heirloom dartboard. Unless, of course, one of them lives near a dumpster. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

Eagle Scout project helps rangers teach public BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The first day that Christophe Naviaux and Boy Scout Troop 506 went to install informational signs at San Elijo and South Carlsbad State Beaches for his Eagle Scout project, they had it pretty rough. “We had two places to be, and one sign was about 5 miles from the other, so by noon we had to have everything packed so that we could go to the next sign,” Naviaux said. It took them four hours to install each sign on Saturday, March 12, but by the next and last day of the project, they had gotten better at it. “The second day we finished around 3 p.m., so it took us three-and-a-half hours for the two signs,” he said. Naviaux’s Eagle Scout project consisted of the installation of four signs at the state beaches containing information about local fauna and waste management. The project benefactors were the park rangers, who already had the signs and only needed someone to install them. “They were able to get all the permits there for me,” Naviaux said. He explained that the project was “a way for me to tell people at the beach how things they do in their daily lives affect the beach they want to go to.” The signs describe animals that live in the kelp that washes out onshore, local birds, and how “when you wash down trash on your lawn goes in your gutters, onto the beach and eventually to the ocean,” he said. The 16-year old, who will be a junior at La

always super easy,” Naviaux explained. “By talking with the volunteers’ parents I realized I had to have answers for questions I hadn’t thought of. I hadn’t thought about shade structures that we needed because we were going to be at the beach all day, and I hadn’t thought about transportation and how we were going to get around.” Fortunately for Naviaux, he had the help of parents who provided transportation and Troop 506, which lent him shade structures. He got further assistance from John Stojic of Classic Craft Construction, a contractor who has collaborated on 30 different Eagle Scout projects. “Mr. Stojic was able to help us with the exact measurements and getting the proper materials,” Naviaux said. “He also helped build the wooden structures that kept the sign pole straight while the concrete was drying. “Initially, we surveyed the area to make
sure everything was measured. For the first hole, we used an auger we rented to make the holes quick and easy. Once we got that, we put the concrete around it, and while the concrete was drying, the structures we built held the poles up straight, and then we put the signs on and screwed them in.” He said one of the lessons he learned was the importance of using the proper materials for each situation. “Because the beach area is really moist, the first concrete I bought wasn’t going to dry quickly. I had to return that concrete and buy a quick-drying concrete.” Naviaux’s Eagle Scout assignment was to plan the project out and get volunteers to develop it. His leadership kicked-in when he anticipated the needs of others. “I brought treats for each of (the volunteers) to eat, so I think most of the kids were having fun supporting their community.”

Shannon and Co. moves to La Plaza La Jolla
Mary Jo Shannon, owner of Shannon and Co.
ASHLEY MACKIN
BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla children’s clothing store Shannon and Co. moved from its longtime location on Wall Street to the La Plaza La Jolla shopping complex on Girard Avenue, and celebrated with a grand opening in July. In La Jolla since 1985, owner Mary Jo Shannon said the clientele has always been an even split of La Jollans and tourists. “I’ve had the same people stop by, who used to shop for their children and are now shopping for their grandchildren,” she said. “It’s a family tradition for some.” At the new location, Shannon will continue to sell “unique and darling baby and children’s things and clothes,” made from quality organic cotton, including birthday cake dresses and mermaid skirts. Touting it as a “happy atmosphere” for kids, Shannon said girls love to come into the shop to find a party dress or an outfit for a party with a theme. She said she wanted to move because the former landlord began offering only month-to-month leases, and she wanted to be “a little more settled in.” And while some of the units around Shannon and Co. are empty, the storeowner is convinced it won’t be for long. “I think it’s going to take a while to fill the whole building, but they have excellent places here; there are great places to eat, a beautiful gallery, relaxing places to sit and enjoy … and there are some new exciting businesses coming in,” she said. Find Shannon and Co. at 7863 Girard Ave., Suite 110. Open weekdays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. (858) 454-9255.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - AUGUST 25, 2016 - PAGE B9
‘October Sky’ now a theatrical musical at The Globe BY DIANA SAENGER The West Coast premiere of the musical “October Sky” will launch The Old Globe Theatre’s 2016-17 season. With book by Drama Desk nominee Brian Hill (“The Story of My Life”) and Aaron Thielen (“Hero”), and score by Michael Mahler (“Diary of a Wimpy Kid”), the production was inspired by the 1999 Universal Pictures film of the same name based on a true story, and the book “Rocket Boys” by Homer H. Hickam, Jr. Rachel Rockwell is director/choreographer. The story is set in a mining town in the 1950s where Homer Hickam faces his future: following his father to work in the coal mines. However, that changes in October 1957, when the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, goes into orbit and Homer is inspired to build Rachel Rockwell rockets. Director Rockwell (“Brigadoon,” “Wicked,” “Billy Elliot,” “Bring It On: The Musical”) said she became interested in the story when approached by colleagues Hill and Thielen. “They asked if I wanted to work with them on making the ‘October Sky’ film into a musical. We had known each other for years and collaborated on a lot of projects, so I said ‘yes’ and we’ve been working on if for several years,” she explained. The musical premiered at the Marriott Theatre in Chicago to rave reviews. “The audiences loved it,” Rockwell said. “It’s a family story and connects to Midwestern values. Families from small towns especially identify with it. In the cast, we have eight or nine actors from San Diego with great talent, a handful of actors from the
original company, and new ones from New York. But we’ve made a lot of changes in the show, so they are all learning together.” According to Rockwell, the story is very similar to the film, but with a musical score to enhance it. “Fans of the film will not be disappointed,” she said. “Because we have to show them the story (we can’t just rely on camera shots) it’s a little more active than the film version. We noticed at the Marriott Theatre premiere that some of the gentlemen were shredding tears ... the story is very strong on the father-son relationship.” One of her favorite scenes contains the song “Moonshine.” “It’s really a fun song,” she said. “The score is beautiful, unique and a wonderful combination of rockabilly music of the era. The tone is of the Appalachian music of West Virginia.” She said the play has incredible appeal for all ages and will have a profound impact on anyone who was alive when Sputnik launched. “That was a life-changing experience on Earth, and it altered the way humans think about what we can and can’t do,” she said. “It opened doors. Young people, who are still at the beginning of their journeys and deciding what their dreams are going to be, will find this show compelling. It will have parents thinking about what they do for their children and the sacrifices they make. It’s also got broad appeal for fathers and sons with its rich story-telling, and it’s also good family entertainment grounded in 1957 ... a story of hope for parents, little ones and seniors.” ■ IF YOU GO: “October Sky,” runs Sept. 10-Oct. 23 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

COLLECTION SELECTIONS
Museum exhibition celebrates citizen scientists BY DAVID L. CODDON Scientific research is not strictly the domain of scientists, nor are scientific discoveries exclusive to them. Studying and exploring nature out of sheer curiosity and a burning passion are the world’s citizen scientists. These men and women down through history as well as today are celebrated in a new exhibition at the San Diego Natural History Museum titled “Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary
People: A History of Citizen Science.” Some of these naturalists you may know, like John James Audubon (1785-1851), whose quest it was to paint every known bird species in North America. Or poet Edward Lear (1812-1888), author of “The Owl and the Pussycat,” who became a respected natural history artist. But did you know that Maria Theresa, head of the Hapsburg family dynasty in
Austria during the 18th century, accumulated an impressive collection of seashells from all over the world? Or that French General Napoleon Bonaparte, upon invading Egypt in 1798, brought with him more than 160 men whose duty it was to document the captured nation’s natural environment? All are part of the “Extraordinary Ideas” exhibition, which occupies two levels of space in the museum’s new Eleanor and
Jerome Navarra Library Special Collections Gallery, along with works from and stories about local citizen scientists including Laurence Klauber (1883-1968), a SDG&E worker whose obsession became the region’s reptiles, and Laurence Hoey (1892-1963), a self-taught naturalist who at only 31 became the San Diego Natural History Museum’s curator of birds.

A museum staffer works on ‘Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary People.’ museum’s until-now unexhibited permanent collection, donations that trace back to 1864. “This is the first time we’ve offered a behind-the-scenes collection,” said Margaret “Margi” Dykens, who is curator of the “Extraordinary Ideas” exhibit and director of the museum’s Research Library. Dykens says these works, showcased in a climate-controlled, low-light environment, emphasize the fact that “anyone can make contributions to science, and in a very real way.” The technological revolution fueled by the Internet and digital communication, she added, gives novice naturalists the opportunity to document their research and even submit it for scientific consideration. Besides highlighting the efforts of these citizen scientists, Dykens says this exhibition “is a new way to make people aware that there is research going on here. We’re not just an exhibition space.” The museum employs an active research team, some of whose work can be learned about in the galleries. Above the main exhibits floor in the upper mezzanine are two gallery spaces that are certain to appeal to visitors of all ages. One is a display of watercolor paintings by A.R. (Albert Robert) Valentien, who lived in San Diego and who in 1908 was commissioned by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps to document on canvas the flora of California. Valentien, who was not trained as a botanist by any means, traveled throughout the state for 10 years, painting its diverse flowers and plants. The museum’s collection of these Valentien watercolors, which numbers nearly 1,100, “had been sitting in our rare book room for like 70 years,” explained curator Dykens, who had the incredibly difficult task of choosing only nine of them to be on display. “They’re all beautiful,” she said, so she chose as her criterion a set that would represent California’s different botanical habitats. Dykens, herself a botanical illustrator, calls the Valentien collection “one of the
Hello La Jolla and thank you. This is Dr. Sue Morizi VMD PHD of the Village Veterinary Hospital. I just wanted to say thank you.

We offer complete surgical services on a heated table and dentistry with a comprehensive monitoring system.

The new exhibit will become a permanent display. wonderful treasures of this museum.” Just around the corner upstairs from the Valentien watercolors you’ll find the exhibition’s “Dragons Den,” a space catering specially to children. Furnished with a comfortable sofa and bean bag chairs, this room is stocked with nature books for a wide range of ages. But the attraction is sure to be “authentic, very early books that illustrate dragons,” said Dykens. One of these, written in Latin and of course under glass, dates back to 1517. In case you’re not mathematically inclined, that makes it almost exactly 500 years old. “At this time,” Dykens pointed out with a smile, “people thought dragons were real.” “Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary People” is a permanent exhibition, ideal for citizen scientists whose contributions to science and art are still to come. ■ IF YOU GO: “Extraordinary Ideas from Ordinary People: A History of Citizen Science,” is at the San Diego Natural History Museum, 1788 El Prado, Balboa Park.

Luau & Legends event touched by volunteer’s death
T
he 23rd annual Luau & Legends of Surfing Invitational took place Aug. 21 on the beach near Scripps Pier in La Jolla to support cancer research and patient care at UC San Diego Health. Sadly, a death occurred at the event when Francis Todd, 62, who was participating in the surf contest was found face down in the water. Lifeguards performed CPR and Todd was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital, but he did not survive. Each of the sponsored teams was paired with a surfing legend to vie for traditional trophies. Tyler Callaway, four-time national surfing champion and coach of the UC San Diego Surf Team, and La Jolla native Jon Roseman served as co-chairs. Bob Hurley was the honorary chair. The 2016 event honoree was philanthropist T. Denny Sanford. Luau festivities commenced under tents where more than 500 attendees enjoyed traditional Polynesian dancing and music while dining at a tropical buffet. Guests participated in opportunity drawings, a silent auction, and tested their bidding skills against each other as "one-of-a-kind" pieces of surf-inspired artwork, exceptional surfboards, and vacation packages were put up for live auction. — Greg Wiest

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL
Darn All the Doggy Doo Doo
M
y wife Melody and I moved to Bird Rock a year ago to raise our 1-year-old son, Jacob. We live just a couple blocks away from downtown Bird Rock and enjoy our daily walk to visit Bird Rock Coffee Roasters café. The reason I’m writing is that along the path of our daily walk, we’re literally grossed-out by the amount of dog poop that has been accumulating on the corner of Midway Street and La Jolla Boulevard. Absolutely disgusting! Animal control in the area is out of control and something needs to be done. I’ve been keeping an eye out to see if people are picking up after their dogs. I can honestly say, after seeing it over and over again, that very few people pick up after their dogs. Yesterday, I watched an older woman walking a black lab near the side yard of the house adjacent to the Seaside Smoothie & Juice Bar and Bird Rock Surf Shop parking lot. I stopped next to her while her dog was defecating in the bushes. I pretended to be texting so it wasn’t completely obvious why I was standing there. The woman got on her phone and acted like she asked someone to bring her a baggy ... although I noticed she didn’t tell the “person” where she was for the person to bring the baggy. I waited for the dog to finish, and the woman quickly walked away never to return.
LA JOLLA LIGHT - AUGUST 25, 2016 - PAGE B21
It was all an act. Today, I made it a point to photograph the dog poop in front of the surf shop. I counted 10 poops total. I’ve attached photos of seven, and another two that were only a block away (same side of the street). It seems there’s dog droppings every few steps on RYAN CLOUD that side of the street! Something needs to be done Editor’s Note: This is one of about this! People are literally nine gross dog excrement walking their dogs with no photographs taken Aug. 10 intention of cleaning up after along La Jolla Boulevard them. The status quo has and sent to La Jolla Light become “nobody else cleans for proof of how distressing the poop up, so why should the negligence of dog owners has become in the I?” area. Trust us, you wouldn’t I don’t want to get any want to see the other eight! businesses in trouble, but there’s no question that dogs are defecating on the foliage along La Jolla Boulevard. The question is why doesn’t anyone bother to clean it up? Bird Rock has become a prominent area, attracting residents from all over the world. Locals want to see the neighborhood cleaned up and developed further into a family friendly environment. — Ryan Cloud
Editor’s Note: When alerted to the situation, the Seaside Smoothie manager acknowledged that two dogs live on the premises, and every effort is made to clean up after them. She assured Light readers that the distressing situation would be taken care of more thoroughly in the future. However, she pointed out that many dog-walkers stop in the cafe each day and it’s impossible to know which dog is doing what. She said signs will be posted in the next few days reminding pet owners to pick up after their dogs. Dog owners should know that city and county ordinances require that people to properly dispose of their pet’s waste left in yards, parks and public right-of-ways. Pet waste contains pathogens such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. When not picked up, the waste can get washed down and flow directly into streams, lakes and the ocean, creating harm to human health and the environment. The failure to immediately remove any pet feces to a proper receptacle constitutes a ticket, the fines for which are set by the courts, according to San Diego Police Officer Larry Hesselgesser. ■ Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators.

La Jolla Town Council hopes for sea lion dispersal authority Although La Jolla Town Council did not meet in August, its task force to find a method for dispersing the sea lion population at La Jolla Cove has been hard at work and has reached out to
Congressmember Scott Peters for help. Comprised of swimmers, divers, business representatives, Town Council trustees, community members-at-large and people from the greater San Diego area, the task force drafted a letter asking Peters to designate a Town Council trustee or task force member to carry out harassment/deterrence methods outlined in Marine Mammal Protection Act, Section 109(h). According to the MMPA, these approved harassment techniques may only be carried out by a legally appointed person or persons. The letter, signed by Ann Kerr Bache, task force chair and Town Council president, states: “The La Jolla Town Council is soliciting your assistance to gain authority for the (sea lion) deterrence actions permitted under MMPA Section 109(h). The La Jolla Town Council is a City of San Diego organization and has the authority and structure to take actions for the betterment of our community.” Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding story.

Researchers study Zika virus effects in adults Concerns over the Zika virus have focused on pregnant women due to evidence that it causes brain abnormalities in developing fetuses. However, new research in mice from scientists at The Rockefeller University and La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology suggests that certain adult brain cells may be vulnerable to infection as well. Among these are populations of cells that serve to replace lost or damaged neurons throughout adulthood, and are also thought to be critical to learning and memory. This is the first study looking at the effect of Zika infection on the adult brain. The findings were published in Cell Stem Cell Aug. 18. “Zika can clearly enter the brain of adults and can wreak havoc,” said Sujan Shresta, a professor at La Jolla Institute of Allergy & Immunology. “But it’s a complex disease — it’s catastrophic for early brain development,

New mechanism discovered for Alzheimer’s risk gene For decades, scientists have known that people with two copies of a gene called apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) are much more likely to have Alzheimer’s disease at age 65 than the rest of the population. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute have identified a connection between ApoE4 and
protein build-up associated with Alzheimer’s that provides a possible biochemical explanation for how extra ApoE4 causes the disease. “The big picture here is that we’ve found a very different way of thinking about how the proteins in Alzheimer’s disease might be regulated,” said Alan Saghatelian, professor and holder of the Dr. Frederik Paulsen Chair in Salk’s Clayton Foundation Laboratories for Peptide Biology. Their findings, which appear in the August 2016 issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, underscore the importance of looking at genes and proteins not classically associated with Alzheimer’s to make progress in understanding the disease.
RESEARCH REPORT Despite ailments, older adults happier A new study by researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine suggests a paradoxical trend in the mental health of aging adults: They seem to consistently get better over time. “Their improved sense of psychological well-being was linear and substantial,” said senior author Dilip Jeste, M.D., Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Neurosciences and director of the Center on Healthy Aging at UCSD. “Participants reported that they felt better about themselves and their lives year upon year, decade after decade.” The findings are published in the August 2016 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. Conversely, Jeste and colleagues noted high levels of perceived stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety among adults in their 20s and 30s participating in the study. “This ‘fountain of youth’ period is associated with far worse levels of psychological well-being than any other period of adulthood,” he said. Jeste and colleagues examined the physical health, cognitive function, and other measures of mental health in 1,546 adults, ages 21 to 100 years, living in San Diego County, who were selected using random digit dialing. Participants were almost evenly split by gender, stratified by age decade, with an oversampling of adults over age 75. The linear nature of the findings was surprising, said Jeste, particularly in magnitude. The oldest cohort had mental health scores significantly better than the youngest cohort, though the former’s physical and cognitive function was measurably poorer than the latter’s. The reasons for improved positive mental health in old age are not clear. Some previous research has shown older adults become more adept at coping with stressful changes. They learn, said Jeste, “not to sweat out the little things. And a lot of previously
big things become little.” However, another important explanation may be increased wisdom with age. A number of studies have shown that older individuals tend to be more skilled at emotional regulation and complex social decision-making. They also experience and retain fewer negative emotions and memories. These are all collective elements of wisdom, as defined by the researchers. Jeste expressed concern that the rates of psychological distress and mental illness in younger persons seem to be rising. “Inadequate attention has been paid to mental health issues that continue or get exacerbated post-adolescence. We need to understand mechanisms underlying better mental health in older age in spite of more physical ailments. That would help develop broad-based interventions to promote mental health in all age groups, including youth.” Read the full study at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4088/JCP.16m10671
Scientists find possible aid for dry eye state The eye’s lacrimal gland is small but mighty. This gland produces moisture needed to heal eye injuries and clear out harmful dust, bacteria and other invaders. If the lacrimal gland is injured or damaged by aging, pollution or even certain pharmaceutical drugs, a person can experience a debilitating condition called aqueous deficiency dry eye (ADDE) — sometimes called “painful blindness.” Now a new study in animal models, led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), suggests that lacrimal glands can be repaired by injecting a kind of regenerative “progenitor” cell. “This is the first step in developing future therapies for the lacrimal gland,” said TSRI biologist Helen Makarenkova, who led the study. The findings were published this week in the online Early Edition of the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine.

A Brief Guide to Counters and Flooring In the previous columns, we’ve discussed the general range of what to expect when deciding on your materials for your new home or remodel. Here is a handy list to give you a more detailed idea of what your options are for counters and flooring. Ultimately, you should choose the look you love, since you will have to live with it for a while. However, it’s also good to know what types of materials best suit particular homes and lifestyles. Going to showrooms for tile and other flooring materials can be overwhelming,
but there is something thrilling about the hands-on process of touching the materials and imagining them in your new house. To avoid any anxieties during the decisionmaking process, it’s best to go in with a plan in mind. Have an idea of what materials suit your home best and how much you can spend. Choosing your countertop. • Granite. This comes in polished and honed. Polished granite is the top choice for most homeowners, as it offers a variety of style and color options, has the highend look of marble, and remains one of the most durable options. With granite, visit a warehouse and walk the aisles of slabs of various patterns to really get a sense of your future kitchen or bathroom. Honed offers a matte finish, which lends a modern twist to the style while retaining the durability of regular granite. • Quartz. One of the new darlings in countertop materials, quartz countertops are engineered to resist stains, acid,
scratches, heat, and impacts. The surface also isn’t porous like natural stone and so doesn’t need to be sealed, so it’s virtually maintenance free. It also ranges in color and pattern to fit most kitchen styles. • Marble. This material offers a highend appearance with a cost comparable to granite, and the veining is ideal for disguising wear and staining. However, marble can be porous, so without regular sealing and special care with acidic elements, staining and etching can be a problem. • Travertine. This material is favored for its Old-World look, ideal for Tuscan-Revival styles. However, you can combine it with other materials, such as stainless steel or wood, for an updated look. • Laminate. This is the most budgetfriendly option of all. This retro material is ideal for a mid-century style, but laminate is also seeing a resurgence in popularity because of new patters made to resemble natural wood, stone, and quartz at a fraction
of the cost. • Wood. The butcher-block style works for either a rustic farm-house style or a hip industrial style when mixed with metal finishes and barstools. Wood is relatively budget-friendly and comes with several benefits. When it is properly sealed, it’s safe for food prep—including cutting meat—and you can set hot pots directly onto it without damage. • Stainless steel. For a very modern and industrial look, stainless steel offers durability and ease: it cleans up with cloth and mild soap. It also happens to be the most hygienic material for a countertop, as stainless steel resists bacterial buildup. One of the best features of this material is that it blends well with other colors and materials for a multi-dimensional kitchen.

Lemon Curd with Fresh Blueberries ■ Ingredients: • 5 large egg yolks • 3/4 cup white cane sugar
No Yolking Around
W
hile standing in line at the supermarket, I couldn’t help but notice the shopper ahead of me gingerly placing 10 cartons of eggs on the check-out conveyor belt. The food snoop that I am, I asked him jokingly what he does with all those eggs? He said he buys several dozen because he makes egg white omelets and tosses the yolks for a low cholesterol protein meal. Yikes! That’s a waste of 120 golden nutrient powerhouses that can be incorporated into numerous luscious dishes from sauces and salads to pastas and desserts, along with spa-inspired treatments for the skin and hair. Here’s a primer on the egg yolk to help you get the most out of this wrongly maligned precious food. Go for the Gold: A decade ago, egg yolks were shunned as a source of cholesterol, which would increase plaque in the cardiovascular system, and possibly lead to heart attacks. That mentality gave rise to the popularity of egg white omelets, and the discarding of egg yolks. While moderation is still the guiding dietary principle, (one egg a day recommended for those with elevated cholesterol or heart disease), the yolk has been redeemed in nutritional circles, no longer considered a threat to blood cholesterol levels (particularly compared to trans fatty monsters), and, in fact,
hailed as nature’s superfood. Yolks contain a mother lode of nutrients, one of the few foods with a natural store of Vitamin D for bone health, Vitamin K2 (which actually wards off arterial plaque build-up), the richest supply found in deep yellow or orange yolks, choline to keep fatty liver disease and age-related cognitive decline at bay, and biotin to boost hair, skin and nail health. There’s more. Those golden orbs are packed with protein and vitamin A for eye health, B’s for nerve function, antioxidant E, along with blood boosting iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, body-balancing potassium, selenium, calcium, folate for fetal development, and essential fatty acids (Omega-3s and 6s) to ratchet up immune responses, ease creaky joints with their anti-inflammatory properties, and, in fact — help break down cholesterol. Egg on Your Face: A rich store of vitamin A to soothe and heal skin and keep acne at bay, egg yolks are a naturally exhilarating skin mask. Also rife with proteins and fats, the yolk makes a nourishing treatment for stressed and over processed hair for a shiny, healthy mane. Don’t Put all Your Egg Yolks in One Basket: Here are some classic and creative
• Juice and zest from 3 large lemons • 1 stick of sweet cream butter (cut into 4 portions) • 1 pint of fresh blueberries
uses for egg yolks that also add a glorious lemony color to these delightful dishes: • Concoct a creamy mayonnaise, silky hollandaise, rich Alfredo sauce, aioli (French garlic oil emulsion), or Caesar dressing to dial up sandwiches, burgers, paninis, fruit and green salads, eggs Benedict, grilled wild caught salmon, roasted potatoes, pastas, or steamed vegetables for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. • Make delicate ribbon-like egg noodles such as pappardelle or rustic pasta like makaruni. Add to soups or drizzle with olive oil, garlic and wild mushrooms or heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil. • Whip up eggnog, smoothies and shakes for a creamy, rich texture and protein boost. (If you are leery about raw eggs, use pasteurized or coddled ones). • For just desserts, bake golden pound or sponge cakes, rich butter cream frostings, pie and strudel doughs, snickerdoodle and shortbread cookies, or concoct ice creams, silky mousses, egg custards, crème brulées or
