Parks & Beaches moves to secure ‘sea lion busters’

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN To get the ball rolling, now six weeks after marine biologist Doyle Hanan turned in his report on the sea lion population at The Cove to the City of San Diego, the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory group voted to send a letter to the Mayor and the Park & Rec Department to prompt action on the deterrence methods recommended in the study. The motion passed (11-2-0) at the Aug. 22 meeting. Specifically, the letter will request that a “contractor or entity” be authorized to use section 109(h) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-approved deterrence methods mentioned in the Hanan Report. LJP&B member Debbie Beacham, part of the sub-committee appointed to follow up on the sea lion situation said, “We want to get sea lion busters.” As trustee Melinda Merryweather explained, “All we want to ask the Mayor is to take the recommendation that’s in the study he paid for, and let us use that first step.” Beacham recommended that the method used involves SEE SEA LIONS, A12

La Jolla Vikings football team ready for new stadium, season BY ASHLEY MACKIN As exciting as it is to take the field for the first time in a football season, for the La Jolla High School Vikings, the excitement is tenfold because of the field itself. The La Jolla High School athletic complex has been under construction for more than a year, so the Vikings did not get a single home game last season. But this year, the field is scheduled to host the blast-off game 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2 versus Hilltop High School. The lack of a home facility for games and practices, coupled with new coaches and new strategies, has contributed to what new coach Matt Morrison is calling “a year of transition” for the Vikings. But nevertheless, the guys are excited to start Vikings Head Football Coach the season and give it their all. “Our team motto is 100-100, which Matt Morrison means we give 100 percent of our effort in 100 percent of things we do,” said coach Morrison. “Whether we’re playing a team that’s 10-0 or 0-10, we just want to show up and give our best effort.” To ease the transition, players and coaching staff have spent the summer getting to know each other and working together. “I think for the players to trust us, they need to get SEE FOOTBALL, A17

Veterans try paragliding to find inspiration

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN rmy Veteran Damien Burch came back from Iraq and Afghanistan unscathed physically, but mentally and emotionally, his struggles are as real as any other. He battles anxiety and alcoholism on a daily basis. However, in collaboration with the non-profit group Warrior Passion, he organized a paragliding tandem experience for himself and other veterans to help them stay engaged and find an activity that

might become their life motivation. “I stayed at the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital in La Jolla for a month, and used to come (to Torrey Pines Gliderport) to relax. It was so therapeutic for me to just watch the guys fly around. I thought, why not ask if I could get some Vets up in the air? Helping others helps me,” Burch said. On Thursday, Aug. 25 his group met at the Torrey Pines Gliderport for a taste of SEE VETERANS, A12

La Jolla’s summer-concert series could end in 2016 BY ASHLEY MACKIN In an unexpected move, the La Jolla Concerts by the Sea board of directors recently announced the 2016 season would be its last, unless a “substantial, long-term funding source” comes forward to underwrite the free summer concerts in Scripps Park. According to press material, “The board of directors has decided to cease operations after the 2016 season and will not move

forward with plans for 2017 or beyond.” Of the decision, board president Shirleymae Davis said, “It made me sick to heart and I cried my eyes out over it, but that doesn’t bring in the money, unfortunately. Not one of the 10-member board wants to do this, but we all recognize that we can’t run these (eight) concerts on our own, the way we have been, anymore.” Citing increases in city permit costs and decreases in sponsorships and donations,

Davis said unless a donor (or donors) provides a $10,000 commitment per year for the next 5 to 10 years, the concerts will conclude after a 33-year run. Each concert costs between $4,000-$5,000 to produce, including the $2,500 sponsorship required to get a band on stage. “We’ve been trying to do this on our own, but we are at the point where we can’t continue,” Davis said. “The City of San Diego keeps raising fees and requiring more

That kind of support was what we needed to get the concerts off the ground.” Nineteen-year emcee Ron Jones added he is “deeply saddened” by the cancellation. “I don’t want to think this is actually it.

Meditation Center to open at Jewish Community Center this month

ASHLEY MACKIN

La Jolla resident Julie Potiker in her home office, where she usually meditates

BY ASHLEY MACKIN “People tell me all the time, I can’t meditate, I can’t clear my mind,” said La Jolla resident and meditation teacher Julie Potiker. “I tell them you are not supposed to clear your mind, your mind is clear when you are dead!” As she explained, “Meditation is focusing your attention on something. It could focusing on an object. It could be standing upright and focusing your attention on your feet and how they ground you. If I’m focusing on that, I’m not worrying about the future or ruminating on the past. And your mind will wander, but every time you notice your mind wandering and you bring it back to whatever the focus of that meditation is, that’s the good work. Anyone can do that.” To teach others how to meditate, through drop-in class and longer courses, the Balanced Mind Meditation Center will open at the end of this month at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (JCC), 4126 Executive Drive, offering meditation classes and a guided meditation. As a part of the grand opening celebration, a series of free previews are lined up for 1-5 p.m. Sunday Sept. 25, including meditation with your dog, balanced mind meditation, movement-based meditation classes and a guided meditation. RSVP requested: lfjcc.org/bmmckickoff When the center opens, half-hour drop-in classes will be offered weekly and on Sundays, as will six- and eight-week courses. A certified instructor since 2014, Potiker said she wanted to open the center to give back for all that mediation has done for her. “There was a time in my life that I realized I needed help with stress and better tools for managing the stress that comes with raising three teenagers. At the time, I was also serving on the boards of various organizations, so I was pretty busy,” she said. “I started having the wrong words come out of my mouth — capatini instead of cappuccino, maginal instead of magical — which, on one hand became part of my family’s lexicon in a humorous way, but on the other, made me wonder if I

New Single-Family Home Size Declining After increasing and leveling off in recent years, new single-family home size declined during the second quarter of 2016. This change marks a reversal of the trend that had been in place as builders focused on the higher end of the market during the recovery. As the entry-level market expands, including growth for townhouses, typical new home size is expected to trend lower.

had a brain tumor.” So she went to a neurologist (and does not have a brain tumor) who recommended Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, a practice that has been developed and studied for efficacy using MRI machines and academic research since 1970. Potiker proceeded to take classes and workshops, soon evolving into retreats and courses. Two years ago, she took a course in Mindful Self Compassion at UC San Diego to become a certified instructor. Since then, she said she has watched people heal and improve their lives and relationships. “It became a calling for me to spread this science-based practice of self-love and love for mankind,” she said. But as for the perception that one needs to be sitting cross-legged on the beach to meditate — not so, says Potiker. “I do it in my car all the time,” she laughed, specifically using an app called “Insight Timer,” which allows you to customize the type of meditation based on how much time you have. “I don’t like to be late, so I’m often early, and when I get somewhere early I pull up a meditation for however many minutes I have and do it there. That’s my meditating for the day. It’s great for mommies in the pickup line at school. I would do that when my kids were in school and by the time they got in the car, I was calmer and more at ease. Soon I realized I was less reactive.” In addition, meditation is credited with helping to reduce anxiety, depression, blood pressure, tension and more, she pointed out. In need of some stress reduction, Potiker said she is “a recovering attorney” from Michigan. With parents living in La Jolla, she and her family moved to La Jolla nine years ago. She soon volunteered with the JCC and when it came time to open a meditation center, she could think of nowhere else. ■ IF YOU GO: Classes will be $10 for non-members, free for JCC members.

Shores street, utility construction resumes after summer break BY ASHLEY MACKIN In what is becoming an (unfortunate) annual tradition, when the summer construction moratorium ends after Labor Day, La Jolla Shores will be subject to heavy construction. Starting after Labor Day (Sept. 5), with another break planned during the winter holidays, work will continue throughout the Shores to repair the infrastructure under the street and fix the mistakes that have set the work behind schedule for more than a year. But city engineers hope this time will be the last, and the infrastructure repair project will be complete by Memorial Day 2017. Along and connecting to Avenida de la Playa (the Shores’ main thoroughfare) work has been underway to replace the underground sewer and water lines since December 2013 (with pauses in construction in summer and winter 2014, 2015 and 2016). Along with it, a large box culvert and an outfall structure on the western end of Avenida de la Playa, and bio-filter box fronting Piatti restaurant were also replaced. But a number of problems put the work behind schedule, with some aspects needing to be redone completely, and city engineers have spent the summer moratorium reconfiguring plans to ensure the rest of construction goes smoothly. “We hired a new engineering firm to determine which repairs are going to be needed to get the system back operating,” said engineer Steve Lindsay. “They examined the damage and have preliminarily come up with new plans.” Formal plans and a timeline are expected in about a month.

ASHLEY MACKIN

Pictured from January 2016, a sinkhole caused in part by El Niño rainstorms opened up at the end of Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores. With the sewer and water line replacement all but complete, Lindsay said engineers will likely start by wrapping up the last stages of pipe-work and repaving the street. “We are starting at Vallecitos and Camino Del Oro to finish paving, so the kayak (concessionaires) still have access to the beach when we have to shut down the western end of Avenida de la Playa at the boat launch,” he said. “At the same time, we’re going to remove the bio-filter box at El Paseo Grande (at Avenida de la Playa) so it can be replaced.” Once complete, likely in October, the westernmost end of Avenida de la Playa will be closed off for an unknown amount of time so a large box culvert can be replaced, and the outfall structure damaged by the January storm surge can be repaired. The nearly 15-foot box culvert — a large

cement square-shaped structure that allows water to flow under a road, which are embedded and surrounded by soil — was installed in April 2014 but was not sized correctly, and will need to be replaced. “Rather than use a prefabricated culvert, the new one is going to be cast-in-place to maintain its integrity,” Lindsay said. There will also be hydraulic improvements to better handle water pressure build up in the future. Next, the outfall structure that collapsed in January, causing a sinkhole to open up, will also be repaired and reinforced. “We have made modifications to make maintenance and access easier … so it will function a bit better,” he said. Hoping to be complete by Memorial Day 2017, “at the absolute latest” said Lindsay, a

formal timeline is forthcoming. Bracing for another nine months of construction, La Jolla Shores Business Association member Angie Presidendorfer said she was “bummed” to hear it would take so long. “Crews are already starting to close-off parking and cut into the street, which is hard for us because we have been having the best summer,” she said because the weather has been beautiful and businesses have been packed. “This construction is really hard on businesses, which slows down anyway after the summer, and we were told construction would only be a few months. So hopefully the locals continue to come here during all this.” Although thankful for all the continued support to her restaurant, Barbarella owner Barbara Beltaire said she is also frustrated with the construction duration. “We have been going through hell for three years with this … enough is enough,” she said. “Crews take up all the parking and don’t care about the state of things. I don’t think the city is being accountable for the mistakes they have made that has caused this project to take so long and for the loss of business to this area.” Attempting to take some accountability, Lindsay said once everything is complete, the city will investigate which department or engineering firm is at fault for the delays. — The construction will likely be discussed at the next La Jolla Shores Association meeting, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org

city is making it difficult for us to continue. Still, we’re hopeful that someone in the community sees the value in these sunny Sunday events and can step up and help us, and take us to that next level,” he said. “There are a lot of smart leaders in La Jolla, and we hope one of them can come up with something. We are wide open to suggestions and ideas.” Jones said when he made the announcement at a recent concert that 2016 would be the last year, “The collective groan of the crowd was a sound I’ve never heard before; it was not good.” Cheerleading for the event, he said he considers the concert series — which has brought artists like Sue Palmer and Her Motel Swing Orchestra, and The Zydeco Patrol — one of the best things about La Jolla in the summer. “There are those who schedule their vacations around our programs. It’s a great tradition for families. I’ve had people come up to me as adults and tell me their parents brought them here when they were kids,” he said. “The city has increased what we have to pay for trash, permits, workers, dumpsters and portable restrooms,” Jones said, adding concert organizers also needed more portable restrooms after a city employee observed a line forming in front of them at one concert. “They insisted we increase the number of port-o-potties just because there was a line, so we had to pay for that.” The board also had to contract out food sales, rather than allow area service groups such as the Kiwanis Club to donate hot dogs, because they did not have a sink with

hot running water to wash out cooking pots. Coupled with increased costs, Jones said, contributions are down. This year, a major sponsor backed out and did not provide the funding needed for one of the shows. Scrambling, the board pulled funding from other shows and the coffers to produce the concert. Further, assistance offers in terms of volunteering or financial contributions, “have not been forthcoming.” Davis added, “we’ve been beating our heads against the wall for several years and faced continual problems but managed to squeak by. We just can’t do it anymore without a long-term financial source.” In researching how other concert series have managed to survive, Davis said in other areas, a community organization supports the shows on an annual basis. “We don’t have that,” she said. The board of directors plans to hold onto the financial assets they have left at the end of this season for two years with the hope that a “solid plan” comes to fruition and they have some funds available. At the end of two years, if something or someone doesn’t come forward to underwrite the concerts, the 501 (c)3 board will be dissolved. “We’ve tried everything we can think of,” Davis said, “but now we hope someone somewhere comes forward to help. If we hear from them, that’s great. If not, we’re done.” ■ CARE TO HELP? Reach Shirleymae Davis at (858) 459-4053 or sdavis@sdavis-law.com or Ron Jones at (858) 456-0907.

MCASD prepares for expansion, closing galleries in January BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Although still without a construction start date, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) campus at 700 Prospect St., announced it will close its La Jolla galleries in January to begin preparing for some big changes. “We need to get our building ready for construction,” said Deputy Director Kathryn Kanjo, who added that the works of art in La Jolla will be relocated to protect them from any damage. In tandem with the news of the closing, an announcement of lay-offs of eight full-time and 20 part-time positions was made. MCASD Communications & Marketing Manager Leah Straub said in a press release, “We will close the La Jolla facility in January 2017 and consolidate our programming to MCASD’s Copley and Jacobs Buildings downtown. When the closure occurs in January, we will reduce staffing.” The museum’s La Jolla galleries will double in space from 51,545 to 105,014 square feet, which will increase its exhibition capacity from “10,000 to 40,000 square feet,” said Kanjo. “Often times with expansions for museums, a large portion of that would be back up house ... offices, mechanical rooms … We really are primarily expanding our gallery. It’s about our mission and the public spaces.” A public park will replace the parking lot north of the building, featuring a sculpture garden. Kanjo elaborated, “(The park) will present switchback pathways punctuated with art installations. (It will be) an open

space where we can have gatherings and performances — open to everybody without an admission fee.” Construction plans include: demolition of the house to the south of 700 Prospect St., which the museum owns; building an underground parking with spaces for 41 vehicles; transforming the Sherwood Auditorium into a gallery; and adding a two-story new exhibition wing and several ocean-view patios and terraces on different levels. Kanjo said MCASD hopes to accomplish a more open community experience for museum-goers. “There will be new ocean-view spots from the inside that

remind people, ‘You‘re not only at the museum, you’re at this museum in spectacular La Jolla,’ ” she said. The project also includes a new entrance and bookstore off Prospect Street, at the intersection with Silverado Street. “Right now the entrance might be difficult,” Kanjo admitted. The Museum Cafe near the Prospect Street entrance will remain open “as long as possible.” She said the current exhibition space will be revolutionized with modern-day technology to become “a much more interactive museum with information on-demand that so many museum-goers and

the general public expect. This is not going to be a museum where you hush your voice, step in and look at one thing. … It’s about learning and social engagement. We find that people want to use the museum, not only for reflection and solitude, but with groups and activities, and with other content added on.” The new technologies will provide information about artists and historical context. Kanjo will officially take on her new role as the Museum’s David C. Copley Director and CEO on Tuesday, Oct. 18 during a press conference at MCASD La Jolla marking the SEE MCASD, A27

All Hallows Academy: Pursuit of excellence in education

BY DAVID L. CODDON Jill Platt, principal of All Hallows Academy in La Jolla, knows the value of Catholic education. She’s been involved in it for more than 20 years, including the last five at the Transitional kindergarten through eighth-grade school on Nautilus Street that opened back in 1964. “There’s a reputation for academic excellence in Catholic education,” said Platt, “and also it offers the ability to truly educate the whole person in a family-community environment with like-minded individuals. In public schools, I don’t know that everybody is coming from the same value system.” Most public schools are not able to offer the 14 students-to-each-teacher ratio that All Hallows does, either. “We are able,” said Platt, “to give our students individual attention.” An All Hallows education is definitely paying off. Its students on average score higher than the National Percentile Ranking on standardized tests, and 98 percent of them move on to the high school of their choice, including not only Cathedral Catholic, St. Augustine and Our Lady of Peace, but also The Bishop’s School not far away and La Jolla High, which is right down the street. From there, according to Platt, All Hallows has sent students on to such prestigious universities as Stanford, Cornell and Yale, and, closer to home, USD and UC Berkeley. Much of the credit for All Hallows’ excellence can be attributed to its hard-working full- and part-time faculty (numbering less than 20), but Platt is quick to include parents in the equation. “The community itself is made up of dedicated families who believe in the mission of our school — to create and inspire kids to be compassionate and

Founded in 1964, All Hallows Academy is located in the Mount Soledad area at 2390 Nautilus St. academically prepared, and in service to others.” As to the latter, every classroom of students at the school is engaged in outreach efforts. Each one chooses a charity to advocate for, such as the Red Cross. In addition, some students have pen pals through the Sisters of St. Joseph, and the academy sponsors two to three children to attend the annual Rady Children’s Hospital’s Celebration of Champions event, which raises money for children with cancer. “Everything we do is student-centered and designed to build a better person,” Platt said. Platt is also rightfully proud of the “curricular enhancements” at All Hallows, the enrollment of which tends to run between 225 and 250 students. Among these extracurriculars are involvement in the Science Fair, the National Spelling Bee and the La Jolla Christmas Parade &

Holiday Festival. On campus, the academy has introduced new programs in reading, writing and math, and it has made significant inroads into interactive technology and robotics. Of course Catholic education is part of All Hallows’ curriculum. Students attend Mass every Friday, but Platt emphasized that “the religious aspect of our school is threaded throughout the day.” Speaking from her campus high on the hill above La Jolla, Platt expressed high hopes for All Hallows’ future: “We want to be recognized locally and nationally for developing the whole child.” All Hallows Academy is at 2390 Nautilus St. in La Jolla.

COURTESY OF WARRIOR PASSION

Elliot and instructor J.C. Perren glide over the La Jolla sky with an American Flag. FROM VETERANS, A1 paragliding in La Jolla. Warrior Passion provides veterans with exhilarating experiences that help them find motivation. As founder and president Joseph Porrazzo explained, “We give them good adrenaline-based sports and hobbies they can enjoy, and the idea is for them to have something they can be passionate about.” Porrazzo, who served in the Marine Corps for 22 years, said the seed for Warrior Passion was planted when he lost two close friends in a mid-air collision during a mission in Iraq. “I learned very quickly that the way we get through this is, we rely on each other. Fast forward 10 years, I came up with the idea to start this non-profit because there are so many veterans out there hurting. Not only injured and disabled from the wars, but also mentally, and in their hearts. I want to get them that connection to other veterans

back, and serve them in the process.” Warrior Passion also takes veterans SCUBA diving, camping, hunting, fishing, hiking and more often than not, Porrazzo flies them around in his acrobatic airplane. He pointed out, “I leave it up to them to see what their passion is. When they find it, we go from there.” Flying around in his airplane is how Porrazzo met Joshua Elliot (pictured above), one of the veterans who enjoyed the paragliding experience. “I was spared from depression after military service, but I can see how (paragliding) would be a reason to keep you going because you get to see so much support (from the community),” he said. Elliot, a former Marine Corps sergeant and combat engineer, stepped on an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Afghanistan and lost his legs and half of his right hand. He said his faith kept him going through recovery, and eight months after getting

FROM SEA LIONS, A1 spraying the animals with water. “We would like to explore the low-voltage fencing option with more detail, but I don’t think that that needs to be in this recommendation,” she said. In response, trustee Zachariah Spitzer reminded LJP&B members that “Doyle Hanan also says in his report that this should not be considered a long-term answer to managing the California sea lions, as the animals tend to get aggressive the more frequently these techniques are used.” LJP&B president Dan Allen said he was informed by city staff that gates and latches are coming, and once they are installed on each beach staircase, they will prevent the sea lions from getting to the lifeguard tower and the street. “It’s probably just in the design process, so it could take a long time,” Allen advised. Trustees Spitzer and Jane Reldan moved for an amendment to the letter restricting the deterrence location to Zone Three (the beach), but the motion failed and the petition includes deterrence areas in Zones Three, Four, Five and Six (the beach and the upper cliff shelf areas).

injured, he went back to his passion, “snow.” However, instead of snowboarding, Elliot found a new sport, mono-skiing. He’s part of the Disabled Sports USA Team and a member of the Aspen Valley Ski-Snowboard Club. “When mono-skiing off that single ski, I sit in a bucket and strap myself in, and then I have mechanics and a shock underneath me that actuates so it acts like a knee. I have two riggers on my hands that I use for balance, and then I just rip down the mountain. It’s really fun,” Elliot explained. After paragliding for an hour, Elliot proclaimed the experience “amazing!” “Once you’re out there in this seated position, relaxing, floating around in the sky ... it becomes more relaxing and peaceful than extreme.” But he added that the best part — and his favorite thing about living in San Diego — was to feel the community support, “knowing that America supports us and people are out there excited to see us

The final text of the letter will read, “We strongly support you taking action ... on immediate measures to protect the health and safety of citizens considering the sea lions in the La Jolla Cove. We recommend you take action by designating a 109(h) entity or contractor to utilize the option in the Doyle Hanan report of NOAA-approved deterrence methods in the areas that are considered high use by humans, the beach and upper shelf areas … and then have an option to install gates and latches at the base of every stair. We understand that’s a work in progress.”

In other LJP&B news: ■ Challenged Athletes benefit: The board approved the 23rd annual Challenged Athletes Foundation fundraiser, set for Oct. 21 at The Cove. Executive Director Virginia Tinley said, “We have been able to help 13,000 physically challenged people in all 50 states and 32 different countries. The fundraising we do here every October at Scripps Park remains one of our premiere events, and it’s budgeted to raise more than a million dollars.” Trustees encouraged Tinley to support the sea lion deterrence method proposal and lobby the Mayor

and get us doing this kind of thing.” Torrey Pines Gliderport instructor Gabriel Jebb said that the company gives veterans free tandem flights twice a year. He explained that the flight the veterans went on could go on for hours on a good day. The tandem experience, he pointed out, can be repeated solo with adequate training. “We are the largest training operation in North America,” Jebb said. “It takes about 25 days to get your certification, and after that, it’s a real portable sport; you can take it anywhere.” Porrazzo hopes that with these experiences veterans will find a passion to fill their days. “If I take somebody flying, and they love it, I provide them the resources and the path to go get their private pilot’s license. If they love paragliding, I put them on the path to learn, get the equipment and do it themselves,” he said. ■ ON THE WEB: warriorpassion.org

to find a solution to the problem. She said, “Maybe we can meet for coffee and go over what that entails.” ■ Meet the intern: German landscaping intern Christian Weidner was introduced to the board. He is finishing his Master’s degree in technical landscaping and said he was thrilled to work in La Jolla. “I got this opportunity to come here for a project around The Cove and adjacent beaches, and I tried to figure Christian Weidner out which plants we can best use for the place.” ■ Brown Act rules: During a presentation by Park & Rec Department district manager Marilyn Stern, LJP&B members were reminded of their duties as trustees. “All meetings have to be open and public, and deliberations must be taken openly, and all persons are permitted to participate and attend the meetings,” she said. The trustees said they are working toward raising the number of members required for a quorum. — LJP&B next meets 4:30 Monday, Sept. 26 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

FROM FOOTBALL, A1 to know us. I’m happy that the kids are buying into what we’re trying to teach and what we’re trying to build,” he said. Additionally, this year’s Viking squad is senior heavy, which provides consistency and experience. “We have really strong senior leadership … we’ve got 21 seniors, a lot of whom have some great past experience,” Morrison explained. “A lot of seniors were hurt last year, so the juniors of last year were able to get some playing time. They struggled last year because they are young, but we’re relying on some of that experience to get this year off to a good start.” Chiefly, Morrison said the team “hangs their hat on” seniors Daniel McColl and Dane Hansen, both with several years on the varsity team and a focus on defense this year. On offense, players to watch include Alex Dockery, Tanner Watson and Cole Dimich. Regardless of the now-seniors history on the team, coaching staff is testing players in different positions to see how they could best contribute to the team. So just because someone was a receiver last year, doesn’t mean that is the spot they will hold this year. “We want to evaluate these players ourselves and not rely on what someone told us or the player’s reputation and build our own understanding of each kid,” he said. “We want to spread the ball to a lot of different guys … that’s what your better teams are able to do, they have a lot of ways to hurt you. It’s not just one receiver or one guy carrying the ball, it’s a lot of weapons,” Morrison said. “At the end of the year, when you look at our statistics and our breakdown,

L i f e g u a rd i n g i s a c a re e r c h o i c e for Dana Nelsen

“(Lif “(Lifeguards) d ) are a pretty small ll agency, considering id i we have h 94 permanents and d 200 seasonals. It can get a little like high school sometimes with the gossip that goes around and the telephone, but it’s great,” Nelsen said. BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN hen I went to meet permanent lifeguard Dana Nelsen at La Jolla Shores for the last interview of our Know Your Lifeguards series, one of her colleagues told me, “Oh, are you interviewing the best lifeguard in all of San Diego?” It’s hard to verify if the statement is true, but she very well could be. This 27-year-old, born and raised in University City, said she learned how to swim in The Cove. She swam the La Jolla Rough Water Swim for the first time at age 5, and did it for 20 consecutive years until 2014. “I won when I was 8, that was a lot of fun,” she said. At age 10, Nelsen started her lifeguard career with the Junior Lifeguards, at age 16, she became an intern and at age 18 interviewed for a seasonal position, securing the job on her first attempt. “This is my third year as a permanent,” she explained. “I did seven summers as a seasonal, I interviewed twice and after my second interview, I was promoted.” 2016 was her first year assigned to La Jolla, and she will be going back to the central coast district (Pacific Beach to Mission Beach) in the next rotation. Nelsen is a versatile lifeguard who wants to be strong in all areas of the service. “I think I’m going to continue bouncing around just so I can get a good grasp on all the districts and gain experience,” she said. She defines lifeguarding as “the best job in the world,” and her hope for the future is to stay in the service and share her knowledge and experience with up-and-coming guards.

What are the foundations for a good lifeguard?

“A good lifeguard is able to swim well and run, and be cognizant of their surroundings. They have situational awareness, take preventative actions and spread ocean

humble about it. We come out here and we do what we have to do, and we don’t ask for praise. It’s just what we love to do.”

Tell me about your background.

“I’ve always been around the water. In high school, I started playing water polo, and went to college on a water polo scholarship at UC Davis. Then I graduated. I worked during the summer (as a lifeguard) and was promoted (to a permanent position).”

Your partner is also a permanent lifeguard. What is it like to share that bond?

A college art major, Nelsen is the one drawing animals with a fun fact on La Jolla lifeguard station boards. knowledge and beach safety to the public because on the beaches of San Diego we get a lot of tourism, which is great, but a lot of people come not knowing anything about the ocean. We try to educate people so they don’t get into trouble. If they do get into trouble, maybe they’ll be able to help themselves out a little bit.”

You learned how to swim at The Cove. How do you see it now, after 20 years?

“I worked there this winter and it made me sad because it’s not how it used to be. It’s still a beautiful place, but it’s not as relaxing as it used to be. More people go there now to see the sea lions and that’s not what The

Cove is about. It’s about relaxing at the beach, snorkeling, seeing the underwater park and the environment. Hopefully, it can change, but lifeguards are adapting to it, we have to.”

What do you like most about being a lifeguard?

“I really like how dynamic it is and not knowing what I’m going to get each day. I like the lifestyle job that it is, I work with some of my best friends. We have the best time and then everyone knows how to put their game face on when a critical situation happens. There’s not a day when I don’t want to come here, and I think that I speak for everyone on that. Everyone is really

“It can be really good, but also really frustrating because we don’t always want to talk about work at home. I’ve talked to guys who have spouses that are not lifeguards, and they say it’s hard for them to talk to them about the job because it’s hard to understand what goes on if you aren’t immediately involved in it, especially with the jargon that we use. It doesn’t really translate to some people if they don’t hear the radio transmissions all day.”

What’s it like to be a female lifeguard?

“We hit some roadblocks in some places just because we aren’t as respected as some of the guys. I think that’s kind of a cultural thing that needs to be changed in every work profession. But workwise, with all the guys I work with, they are very respectful. We work just as hard as they do, and we have done everything that they’ve done to get the same job ... but sometimes, with the public, we are not as respected, especially if we are going for a rescue. If it’s a guy, we don’t always get the best feedback, and we’re just here to do our job. Unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way. It shouldn’t be about gender when it

What are the challenges of lifeguarding at the Shores?

“Trying to keep your cool with the public. We do the best we can, we don’t ask for recognition. It’s hard when we are making rescues all day and we are really busy, and we get a lot of complaints about trivial things in the parking lot, or the

bathroom lock that won’t work. There aren’t very many of us so sometimes we can’t get to everything. It’s really nice to get positive feedback from the public, on those days, especially, when you’re trying to do everything and someone tells you ‘good job, thanks for doing this.’ ”

25 Light issue, criticizing Ellis’s withdrawal from the November District 1 City Council election? Mr. Cumming believes Mr. Ellis had a reasonably good chance to win the election if he had stayed in the race, an opinion not shared by most people knowledgeable about local politics, but he is certainly entitled to express the opinion. However, his letter uses phrases such as “folding your tent and stealing away in the dark of night,” and “you cushioned in your chips without a whimper.” It spends much of its length evoking Winston Churchill in the Battle of Britain, General Patton in the Battle of the Bulge, General McAuliffe at Bastogne, and the Navy SEALS creed. Really? About a City Council election? Why would he feel so strongly and emotionally about a City Council race? Perhaps it’s a clue when his letter warns that “… the ‘party of the left’ will have free rein to set the direction of San Diego for the next four years.” So, a moderate Democrat and not a moderate Republican will be our City Council representative. Few would consider that comparable to the Battle of Britain or Bastogne. Donald Yeckel

Fable filled with falsities, not funny It was irresponsible of the Light to have printed “The Story of a Quaint Little Seaside Village” in the Aug. 25 issue without further and prominent disclaimers. Half the people who read it will think the author’s representations that seals have bitten off people’s fingers and killed a person and dragged a child out to sea, are TRUE, which they are most emphatically not. Candace Carroll Editor’s Note: You raise a valid point, however, the story was boldly labeled “Guest Fable,” and coupled with the accompanying cartoon and humorous headline font (not-to-mention its placement on an OPINION page), we believed it would be perceived as a tongue-in-cheek humor piece, which is stated in an author’s note at the end of the story. The dictionary definition of a fable is: “A succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized (given human qualities, such as the ability to speak human language) and that illustrates or leads to a particular moral lesson, which may at the end be added explicitly as a pithy maxim.”

Why compare our District 1 City Council race to WWII battles? What was your editorial staff thinking when it chose to publish Lou Cumming’s ultra-long, ultra-personal, open letter to Ray Ellis in the Aug.

School lunch menus should have some vegetarian options With the new school year starting, parents’ to-do lists are filled with shopping for school clothes, school supplies and school food. That’s right — school food! In past years, our nation’s schools were used by the USDA as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. It is neither a surprise nor coincidence that one-third of our children have become overweight or obese. Such dietary mistakes at an early age become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Then came President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requiring double the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and no meat for breakfast. The guidelines are supported by 86 percent of Americans. Most U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools including the entire school districts of Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. Some schools have dropped meat from their menu altogether. As parents, we need to involve our own children and school cafeteria managers in promoting healthy, plant-based foods in our own schools. Going online and searching for “vegetarian options in schools” provides lots of good resources. Sheldon Daniels

Salon helps girl donate hair to Wigs for Kids La Jolla-based Koda salon recently provided a very special haircut for a very special little girl. Six-year-old Ryder Perryman came in to donate 12 inches of her hair to Wigs for Kids, a nonprofit that creates wigs for children suffering from hair loss. “It’s powerful to work with a young child who’s willing to selflessly do this for another child. I could see for her it wasn’t about how she looked, but about giving the gift of beauty to another child,” said Cheng Tan, owner of KODA Salon. “Ryder is a generous and sweet girl. She absolutely loves her hair, so this was a big deal for her.” The majority of the children who receive wigs from the program are ages 6-16. Many suffer from alopecia, but Wigs for Kids also provides wigs for patients with cancer, as well as those suffering from trichotillomania, an obsessive compulsive condition, and burns. KODA Salon clients can donate hair once every year and half, since the donation must be at least 12 inches. More at wigsforkids.org or kodasalon.com

Board struggles with Nobel Prize winner’s home designation BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The possible historic designation of 2345 Via Siena, former home of Physics Nobel Prize winner Maria Goeppert Mayer, challenged the members of the Historical Resources Board (HRB). After a two-hour discussion Aug. 25, the matter was sent back to the applicant, attorney Scott Moomjian, to provide additional information at a later meeting. Moomjian is representing the current owner, Sonoca Corporation, which is in the process of remodeling the home. Goeppert Mayer was hired in 1960 (along with her husband Joseph Mayer) to teach and research at UC San Diego. She received the Nobel Prize in 1963 for her work on the nuclear shell structure, while living at the house. Shortly after moving to San Diego, she reportedly suffered a stroke that jeopardized her health, and she died in 1972. Her house came to the attention of the HRB when the new owner turned in a construction permit and the property went through the 45-year review the city applies to all structures age 45 or older. 2345 Via Siena was reviewed under HRB’s Criterion B, which designates properties related to significant persons or events on the local, national and international level. The key to the Goeppert Mayer designation, as explained by city senior planner Kelley Stanco, is the lack of information on the record about her contribution to the sciences after she moved to La Jolla in 1960. Shortly thereafter, she suffered a stroke, which city staff and Moomjian presume undermined her work capacities. As Stanco explained, “there’s conflicting documentation about the impact of Maria’s stroke on her work and career, nevertheless she continued to teach, and to participate actively in the development and exposition of the shell model. Her last publication … appeared in 1966, and she continued to give as much attention to physics as she could until her death in 1972.” The guidelines for Criterion B, adopted in 2009, state that for a property to be designated “historical,” the relevance of

SOHO historian Amie Hayes speaks in favor of a historical designation for the property at 2345 Via Siena. the owner must be substantiated, and the best structure to be designated is one where the person carried out the most significant part of their work. Moomjian’s review concluded that the home was not to be designated under any criteria, and it gave three examples of existing properties in Chicago and Baltimore that would better represent Goeppert Mayer’s contributions. Moomjian deemed the La Jolla home less significant, “All the important historical achievements occurred only before she occupied the property, not while she lived at the home.” The formal presentation for historical designation of the property was led by Lewis Branscomb, physicist and visiting scholar at UC San Diego, who claimed to have met Goeppert Mayer during her time in La Jolla. “The work that she did,

did not terminate completely at her departure from Chicago, in fact, in Chicago she had a relatively minor job compared to other people where she was,” he testified. The effort, continued by David Goldberg, son of early UCSD faculty, chronicled how the hiring of laureate scientists, including Goeppert Mayer, played a key role in the establishment of UCSD as a major technical and science university. “To argue the Maria Goepper Mayer’s scientific accomplishments, and those of her husband Joe, were made prior to coming to UCSD, somehow diminishes their role in the creation of the university and (doesn’t) make much sense,” Goldberg said. “It’s precisely the accomplishments of these great scientists earlier in their careers that helps us stage for the creation of one of the world’s greatest scientific institutions.” La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) executive director Heath Fox pressed the same point, “What we have here is a Nobel Prize woman physicist in an era of severe gender discrimination, part of the inaugural faculty at UCSD, if this is a person who doesn’t qualify as important for the purpose of local designation, then the credibility of Criterion B must be brought into serious question.” The criterion was also questioned by Amie Hayes, historic resources specialist at Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO), who advised the HRB discuss the issue at their next policy meeting “to address the deficiencies in the application of Criterion B ... because under new interpretations, significant individuals who earned recognition are not currently being recognized, we just need to discuss this in our policy subcommittee and correct that.” During her turn, LJHS preservation committee chair Diane Kane challenged the compliance of the municipal ordinance that regulates the historical designation process. “The report you got is for voluntary designations, not for involuntary designations. Why is that important? The involuntary designation report is supposed to be looking at criteria for SEE HISTORICAL DESIGNATION, A27

CRIME & PUBLIC-SAFETY REPORT Injured hiker airlifted to hospital from cliff above Black’s Beach A woman was rescued from the cliffs above Black’s Beach on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 28 and flown by helicopter to a hospital, the San Diego Fire Rescue Department reported. The woman was hiking along Ho Chi Minh Trail near the intersection of La Jolla Farms Road and Blackgold Road about 4:25 p.m., when she injured her knee and could not make it any further, fire-rescue spokesman Lee Swanson said. The woman, whose age and identity were not released, had made it almost to the bottom of the trail. She was airlifted to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, Swanson said. — City News Service

Slow Down: Back to School means sharing the road School days bring congestion: Yellow school buses are picking up their charges, kids on bikes are hurrying to get to school before the bell rings, harried parents are trying to drop their kids off before work. It’s never more important for drivers to slow down and pay attention than when kids are present — especially before and after school. Schools often have very specific drop-off procedures. Know them. The following apply to all school zones: • Don’t double park; it blocks visibility for other children

and vehicles. • Don’t load or unload children across the street from the school. • Carpool to reduce the number of vehicles at the school. If you’re driving behind a school bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. • Never pass a bus from behind (or from either direction if you’re on an undivided road) if it is stopped to load or unload children • If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop. • The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus. When sharing the road with young pedestrians a few precautions go a long way toward keeping children safe: • Don’t block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light or waiting to make a turn, forcing pedestrians to go around you; this could put them in the path of moving traffic. • In a school zone when flashers are blinking, stop and yield to pedestrians crossing the crosswalk or intersection. • Always stop for a school patrol officer or crossing guard holding up a stop sign. • Take extra care to look out for children in school zones, near playgrounds and parks, and in all residential areas. • Don’t honk or rev your engine to scare a pedestrian, even if you have the right of way. • Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Jean Pfau

March 25, 1929 - May 23, 2016 La JoLLa — My mother, the ever-beautiful, everactive, ever-fun, Jean Pfau, passed away peacefully in her sleep May 23, 2016, with her beloved little dog, Cookie, by her side. Born in Montreal in 1929, the only child of James and Gladys Melvin, she disliked the bitter cold, but she loved skiing the Laurentians and spending summers by the lake as a teen with her very best friend of almost 70 years, Jeanne Evans. arriving in San Diego, California, in 1959 she felt she had arrived to paradise. able to take full advantage of her active nature and the beautiful weather, Jean played as much tennis and golf as she could, loved spending time at the beach and attending fun parties. Moving to La Jolla, she worked as an executive assistant at Merrill Lynch

Brokerage Firm and later at the La Jolla Museum of art. She was always an adventurer and was fascinated by other cultures in the 70’s with her then-husband, Joseph Hibben. She traveled the world often, seeing sights and collecting unique art, especially from Latin america. They also threw large fundraising bashes for the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and the San Diego Symphony, as well

as active members of the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary art and coorganizers of the museum’s Night at Monte Carlo. She was a true ‘Party Girl’ – loved to give them, loved to attend them – right up to the end! Later married to Mr. ‘Lifeof-the-Party’William ‘Bill’ Pfau, they had “a wonderful 20 years together.” They divided their time between Rancho Mirage and La Jolla, Ca, having lots of fun with friends playing golf at Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Ca, and playing doubles tennis at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, along with unending beach parties with all her La Jolla friends and family get-togethers. Jean was a proud, doting grandmother to her only grandchild, alana, always making sure she had opportunities to travel and receive an excellent

education. Many will miss Jean’s great sense of dry humor, her fun style, a real flare for design, be it in luxury home-building or setting a stunning holiday table, and her sense of adventure. Jean passed away from complications of kidney and heart failure in lovely Tepoztlán, Morelos, Mexico, where she spent the last 2 1/2 years enjoying the “perfect weather, kind people and delicious food.” She is survived by her daughter, Lee Miller (Debi Lee Koerner); granddaughter, alana Miller; Bill’s children in California, Will Pfau, Dee Pearson and Virginia Pfau; and Bill’s nephews, Louis and Frank Beacham of La Jolla.

FROM MCASD, A8 75th anniversary of the museum and Ellen Browning Scripps’ birthday. Scripps’ Irving Gill-designed home serves as the heart of the museum’s La Jolla campus. Kanjo replaces Hugh Davies, who will remain with MCASD until his contract expires in 2018 overseeing the capital campaign and building expansion. “It’s terrific that we have the Scripps connection that stitches its way from up at the Scripps Institute down to the hospital. We’re happy to be part of that legacy. Although Ms. Scripps didn’t donate her property to the museum, she gave it to the City of San Diego, and they sold it to the museum,” Kanjo said. “This is (the La Jolla community’s) museum, it always has been, and it will offer so much more. People love our collection, they have their favorites with memories attached to them. There will be the permanent story that La Jollans can claim, but then there’s going to be the changing exhibitions.” Kanjo has been working as the

museum’s deputy director for six years, but in the early 1990s she contributed to the institution as a curator, helping put together expositions and also configuring the museum’s path to include art patrons south of the border. “I think any globally-minded institution must think about its region,” she explained. “We want to distinguish ourselves, we want to be a player in the international art world, and part of that distinction is the rich art produced in our region. People are envious because we are in this charged international political creative energy that is the Border Region, and envious of our proximity to Los Angeles with so many artists living there. We sort of blend to the larger dialogue.” Kanjo said she is excited about the growing local San Diego art scene. “The scene is continuing to evolve, and what seems to me to be the new energy is artist-run spaces, spaces that are dedicated to artists from this region … and we want to be part of that in so many ways — in our exhibitions, acquisitions and hiring artists.”

FROM HISTORICAL DESIGNATION, A24 federal, state and national designation, the report you have doesn’t do that,” she said, adding that the interested parties (SOHO and LJHS) weren’t consulted for the report. To those claims, Stanco responded that the board does have two separate report formats: the less rigorous historical resource research report and the more careful historical resource technical report. “The historical research technical report is only required for properties that are associated with a discretionary permit application. … If a property is coming forth with a building application, or voluntary designation, the historical research report is an acceptable format,” she said. During the discussion, board members brought up the gender issue. Chair Courtney Coyle said, “You have to wonder if sometimes when we are thinking about important people, we maybe have a bias against the full range of people who can actually be historically significant. They don’t have to be just the Caucasian males who were involved in different things.” Trustees were interested to know more about Goepper Mayer’s role for the development of San Diego’s biotech and scientific community. But this role would fall under Criterion A, and for the board to consider this a new analysis is required. Further discussion of the designation was slated for a later meeting of the board.

In other HRB news ■ Archeological Committee report: After considering the staff’s recommendation to consolidate the Policy and Archeology subcommittees into one, the HRB denied the petition. Archeologists Abel Silvas and Ron May spoke in favor of conserving both subcommittees. May included in his speech a mention of the Pottery Canyon kiln issue reported in the July 7 edition of La Jolla Light, “Pottery Canyon: A Forgotten La Jolla Story,” implying that discussion on the issue would require an expert archeology committee and not a general assignment one.

Meet Nicole Otjens: Director of La Jolla Rec Center BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: Welcome to La Jolla Light’s new feature “People in the Neighborhood,” a series that will shine a spotlight on a notable local we all wish we knew more about! Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar, friendly faces to bring you their stories. If you know someone you’d like us to profile through “People in the Neighborhood,” send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call us at (858) 875-5950.

a Jolla Recreation Center Director Nicole Otjens has lived in and around Rec Centers her entire life. “I was a ‘Rec Kid,’ ” she laughed. “My grandparents had a house across the street from South Clairemont Recreation Center, so I went there after school almost every day.” When she turned 20, she said she filed an application to start working for Recreation Centers, and has been doing so ever since — the last three-and-a-half years as Center director in La Jolla. The 38-year-old describes

PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD herself as a “people pleaser,” and has worked in 12 different recreation halls in San Diego County. She said she plans to work for the service until she retires.

How do you like working at the La Jolla Rec Center?

“There’s always something new, something different. The community here is different. Some Rec Centers have two or three events a year, if that, we have eight or 10. Every month there’s always another event happening. But I enjoy it. The pace keeps you on your toes; you stay on top of things. But I find I must give the staff some tasks and delegate, otherwise I would give too much of myself.”

What are your childhood Rec Center memories?

“I liked the events. I liked going to egg

hunts, they were my favorite. I liked seeing the different age groups participate. You don’t know how much effort and time it takes to put on an event until you are actually the person putting it on. You might think an event takes a day or two, but it really takes two to four months to get everything together.”

What do you do when you’re not at the Rec Center?

“I take dance lessons with the Park & Rec Department, Wednesday nights at Balboa Park. I’m a member of the San Diego Civic Dance Association. I love (dancing). I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. Even though it’s through the city, I don’t get paid or anything, I volunteer my time. It’s my fun time. My other fun time is spent visiting family or friends. I have a boyfriend who works for

Put your hands together for ‘The Smallest Show on Earth’

“L

or the arts and music.” This is the 15th year for Paulson’s Toy Theater extravaganza, making it the oldest festival of its kind in the world. The only other Toy Theater festival that even comes close is held once a year at St. Anne’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. However, Paulson’s collection of Toy Theaters is undoubtedly the finest in the world. Toy (Tabletop) Theaters are scale models of actual theaters with tiny characters upon which miniature plays — such as “Cinderella” or “Peter Pan” — may be performed. The idea for them dates back to the Victorian Age when the grand theaters of the day used to give out posters of their productions as take-home souvenirs. These posters could be folded, cut with scissors, and glued to make a scale model theater for home use or display. If you did not pick up your theater kit at the playhouse, you could also buy them from printers, who sold black-and-white versions for a penny a piece, and colored ones for a twopence. This type of home entertainment was quite the rage, but eventually replaced in the parlor by radio and the gramophone. Paulson said his goal is to preserve, protect, promote and teach people about the grand tradition of the Toy Theater through libraries, SEE TOY THEATER, B4

adies and gentlemen ... welcome to the Smallest Show on Earth!” exclaimed Scott Paulson during the introduction to his Toy (or Tabletop) Theater Festival, held Aug. 20-22 in the Seuss Room at UC San Diego’s Geisel Library. People of all ages, shapes and sizes browsed their way through the Seuss Room, which was dotted with long, wooden tables against the walls, round metal cabaret tables in the center, and double-sided museum-quality display easels positioned at strategic locations — all overflowing with the oddest assortment of toy theaters, tiny characters, costumes, masks and musical instruments. Paulson mingled with the crowd, chatting gaily, and giving impromptu presentations. When the energy was just right, he enticed audience members to step forward and volunteer to play the parts in a staged reading of “Cinderella,” which had musical accompaniment. Paulson was assisted by Elaine Blumberg. “I met my assistant Elaine in the Museum Studies program at Mesa College,” Paulson said. “That program has really helped me to think about how I lay out and present my materials. Many of the UCSD Visual Arts students have also benefited from taking this course. I highly recommend it if you’re interested in display —

E & EC stands for Events & Exhibits Coordinator, which is my official title.” The Toy Theater Festival is one of many programs that Paulson curates. He is also responsible for The Toy Piano Festival, Steam Punk Extravaganza, Turkey Calling Hoedown, Halloween Horror Silent Film, and performances by the Teeny Weenie Pit Orchestra. “The family aspect of my library activities is what is really important to me, as well as having hands-on events that are tangible and touchable; an antidote to these technocratic

times where everything is virtual, visual and image-driven,” Paulson explained. “In this Facebook society, we so often see people walking around staring at their cellphones and missing the real thing — the real world of objects and people that exist all around them. “I also try to tie my events to the collections we have here in the library, so people can further explore the topics presented, if they are so inclined.” Paulson has created his own plays and has built Toy Theaters and the characters needed to stage them. Last year, he presented one titled “The Great Stink of London” that was about the Thames River becoming so polluted with sewage in 1859 that the townspeople considered moving the Parliament, which is located on its banks. Paulson downloaded old political newspaper cartoons from that age

Elaine Blumberg and Scott Paulson and hand-colored them to create characters and scenes for his play. Another Toy Theater play that Paulson penned and built (with the help of Pacific Islander students at UCSD), was about the Hawaiian legend of shapeshifting, which occurs when a person morphs into an animal. Paulson said people can make their own Toy Theaters out of cereal boxes, and cut out characters they can shuttle around stage glued to a popsicle stick. They can also make up their own stories or perform classic ones. To acquire a manufactured professional-quality Toy Theater, Paulson recommends Benjamin Pollock’s Toy Store, which is located in London’s Covent Garden Market. Pollock’s has been selling Toy Theaters since 1880. The Web address is pollocks-coventgarden.co.uk You can take a

Quint Gallery leaving La Jolla

BY ASHLEY MACKIN By the end of this month, Quint Gallery at 7547 Girard Ave. will close its 3,000 square-foot space for good. Departing the Village after five years, owner Mark Quint will focus on a new project space in the Bay Ho area of San Diego (east of La Jolla), called Quint Projects, at 5171 Santa Fe St. “(The new location) is a storage space I’ve had for the last four months that I also use to stage large installations where artist come and do big pieces that aren’t for sale. It’s about three times the size of this space, and will allow me to do more of the larger pieces I want to do,” he said. The first installation was an immersive sound piece by Finnbogi Pétursson. Currently on display is a floor-to-ceiling painting by Jean Lowe and Kim MacConnel called “The Museum of Metropolitan Art,” which will remain on display until Sept. 24. The installation makes the wall of the new facility look like the wall of a museum with slightly blurred paintings. But other reasons for the move, he said, include the high cost of rent in the Village and changes in management. “I had a gallery director who was with me for 12 years, but

was recently hired by a gallery in New York. While he was running things, I had been pulling back a little — not coming into the gallery as much, working on other projects, collecting art — and letting him run things, but with him gone, it’s pulled me back in,” he explained. Again in charge, Quint said, “I want to do this right. I want to do more installation art, larger-scale pieces and residencies for artists, which is easier in the new space.” Joking that moving around “is not a new thing” for him, Quint said he has moved the gallery several times in the last 36 years. “I started the gallery in 1981 in a small space on La Jolla Boulevard and have had 10 or 12 locations across San Diego since then,” he said. And while the La Jolla location was great for exposure, Quint said there isn’t a prevalent walk-in clientele, “People come here because they know there is a piece of art they want to see or an artist they want to see. And they have already been coming to the new show space.” A La Jolla resident, Quint said he will remain active in Village, and contribute to a show at the Athenaeum Music & Arts library in November.

Saturdays at The Ranch

Mark Quint, owner of Quint Projects. Still, Athenaeum executive director Erika Torri said she was “shocked” by the closure and with it “an era comes to an end,” she said. Torri said she has known Quint for more than 30 years. “Mark has a great eye and he gathered an excellent group of local and national, as well as international gallery artists around him. He introduced us to the best. He supported local artists; he brought them to the forefront and made them known nationally; he set the standard for art made in San Diego and continuously improved it,” she said. “He is a friend, a colleague and a mentor and the idea of not having a Quint Gallery around is a tremendous loss for me and I am sure for all other collectors who had the pleasure to work with him.” ■ ON THE WEB: quintgallery.com

What kind of dancing do you like?

What do you like most, and least, about your job?

“It depends on the song and the choreography. I’m usually more of a tap/funk dancer. I like everything, but I can do a little bit of funk/jazz with a little hip hop with it.”

What are your future plans?

“I’m planning on maybe applying for Center Director III, which means working at a bigger site, a bigger facility, and more responsibility. And I’m going to see if my boyfriend and I are going to get married in the next year or so. Who knows? We’re not officially engaged at this point, but we are going to see what happens down the road.”

What’s a dream of yours?

“I would like to be a dance teacher one day. I used to teach it when I was in my early 20s for five or six years. If there was a full-time dancing teacher position open, I’d momentarily ask to be

“I like having everybody enjoy parks. I also like training my staff so I can delegate. I like working with people and showing my passion for parks and recreation. I really don’t like getting bugged. When I’m off, I like to be off.”

What is something La Jollans don’t know about you?

“That would be who I am as a person because they know me as a worker — ‘This is Nicole, and she takes complaints and takes care of this,’ but I’m an enjoyable person as well. I enjoy life. I‘m willing to take on people’s concerns and make changes. I like to take on easy tasks and challenges and make things better.” ■ Coming Next Week: Meet one of the barristas at Pannikin Coffee & Tea.

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

The Woes (and Highs) of Workplace Feedback “You’re doing it wrong.” “You could be doing it better.” “I see room for improvement.” “So I guess we should probably go ahead and have a little talk.” “I’m also going to need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too.” Workplace feedback from managers can be an anxiety-inducing prospect, especially when, from some managers, even an unqualiﬁed Good job can be patronizing or dismissive. Pep talks laced with comments such as “You’re not living up to your potential” can also elicit

a sense of dread from employees when their managers stop by their desk or send an email. Good managers are deft at getting the best from their employees, usually through a system of constructive workplace feedback laced with gratitude and patience. Selfconﬁdent employees will have a relatively easy time turning this constructive feedback into a positive experience and improve their performance. That’s not to say that even the most conﬁdent employees won’t take personally a certain level of criticism, even small. In fact, it is human nature to see workplace feedback as a type of confrontation, and such employee-manager interaction signals a potential threat. Workplace feedback assumes a power disparity. Disparities lead to power struggles. This struggle is primal in nature and infuses nearly all relationships, but especially those that affect our livelihood (i.e., our survival). Aside from primal inklings, perhaps this fear of critique goes back to childhood report

cards, not the grades, but the work habits and cooperation comments section: Excellent, above average, average, below average, poor. Passable, unacceptable. Great, good. These are all abstract terms that can fill people with anxiety without giving them any real information, any specific and constructive feedback. Some students hear these terms applied to their performance and come to think of themselves as average, or below average. And at some point, most people have experienced corrective feedback given so poorly as to make them perceive all performance feedback as something negative. This often occurs first at an early age, and by the time they reach the workplace, these people live in perpetual workplace anxiety when their boss is near. Tropes of the unhelpful boss offering maddening levels of negative feedback have been perpetuated (or called out) by popular culture with such examples as the British and American versions of The Office, but most acutely by Gary Cole’s character Bill

Lumbergh in the 1999 film Office Space, cartoonishly over-the-top but still embodying the type of frustrating workplace feedback that made this character an icon of ineffective management. A study by Zenger Folkman identified as a “pivotal competency” in distinguishing the most successful leaders the ability to inspire and motivate workers. Being able to do this, according to the study, has a direct correlation to high employee engagement and employee productivity. While being an inspirational leader may seem an obvious necessity, many managers do little more to foster this than the verbal equivalent of a “Hang in There” cat poster. Some managers don’t want the extra responsibility of motivating employees and offering constructive workplace feedback on top of their daily duties.

Power lunches in a bag

s we fade from the dog days of summer back to classrooms and work places it’s the season for brown bagging it. Totting portable snacks and lunches is a great way of controlling calories, salt, artery-clogging fats, preservatives and other toxic substances, including pesticides, antibiotics and GMOs. Another bonus is that you can flavor the foods to suit your taste buds and dietary needs. Packing lunches is also good for the waistline and the wallet. A Nest Egg: Eggs are not only a perfect nutritional package (the whites provide a rich store of low fat protein, while the yolks are loaded with choline, a B-complex vitamin that dials up focus and concentration), but they are also relatively inexpensive (even free-range organics), and travel well. So get cracking, and pack along some hard-boiled or deviled ones, slices of frittata or quiche, chopped in a chunky salad, fried or scrambled for a light yet satisfying lunch or snack. Rolling in Dough: Sandwiches are the ideal low maintenance portable food that appeal to a wide range of tastes (both savory and sweet) providing more amalgams than computer password combinations. Properly constructed, a sandwich offers a complete meal (protein, carb, fruits and vegetables).

DANIEL K. LEW

According to James Beard, “too few people understand a really good sandwich.” To me, a satisfying sandwich should have five components — bread, fillings, condiments, toppings and sides. For starters, use a fresh assortment of breads and buns (ciabattas, baguettes, challah rolls), accompanied by organic meats and cheeses, grilled vegetables, nut butters from almond (see recipe) and cashew to walnut and sunflower seeds, and fruit preserves. Pack toppings, condiments and sides separately to prevent soggy bread and wilted vegetables. For a lighter version make wraps with rice

paper, flour or corn tortillas, pitas, flat breads, or crisp lettuce leaves filled with assorted raw or roasted vegetables, sliced turkey, grilled salmon, cod or seafood cocktail. Of course, preparing tailor-made sandwiches or wraps at home is a fraction of the cost of take-out sandwich shops. In the Chips: Convenient finger foods and snacks include green and black grapes, easily digestible goat gouda or Parmesan cheese chunks, pretzels and baked pita chips, carrot, celery and jicama sticks, and antioxidant rich red pepper slices that pair well with an assortment of hummus dips, such as, roasted garlic, sriracha or eggplant. Heart-healthy, plant-based omega-3 rich walnuts and almonds, pumpkin, flax and chia seeds are easy snacks for focus and mental clarity that also take the edge off mid-day cravings and hunger. Don’t buy costly ready-made fruit, snack or vegetable platters, which can be prepared fresh at home. Salads on a Shoestring: Concoct a variety of wholesome salads, especially lettuce-less ones that won’t go soggy, including a Mediterranean mix of heirloom tomato chunks, Persian cucumbers, red onion and kalamata olives, Asian noodles, quinoa tabouli, roasted beets, watermelon, basil and buffalo mozzarella, or probiotic powerhouse kimchi, all in portable, airtight containers. For leafy green salads, pack dressings separately or layer wet ingredients on the bottom, dry ones on top. “Banked” Beans: Beans or legumes, including kidney, pinto, navy, black and baked ones are not only a bargain food, but provide a load of fiber, protein, iron, magnesium and selenium, while Technicolor

Do-It-Yourself Honey Almond Butter ■ Ingredients: • 2 cups roasted unsalted almonds • 1 teaspoon honey (clover, blossom, your choice) • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (adjust for desired consistency) • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional) ■ Method: In a food processor, grind nuts and sea salt, gradually adding honey and coconut oil until the mixture has reached the desired smoothness. For chunky, toss a handful of nuts at the end. Spread on bread of choice or celery sticks. Refrigerate. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

lentils in red, orange, green and brown varieties high in folate hike dopamine levels, which ratchets up mood and mental performance. A Sweet Deal: For just desserts, pack along whole fruits like apples, bananas and nectarines, along with bite-size, home baked treats, such as, pecan or walnut brownies, oatmeal date squares, Nanaimo bars or a chunk of pure dark chocolate with cocoa content over 70 percent. A simple, blissful (and frugal) treat rife with catechins and antioxidant flavonoids elevates mood by tweaking the release of endorphins.
