BY ASHLEY MACKIN he number of La Jolla communities starting Neighborhood Watch programs is growing. Although the national program formed in the 1970s to deter crime and keep residents informed, La Jolla’s neighborhoods are refining the

concept to suit their needs on a block-by-block basis. There are more than 10 different Neighborhood Watch divisions throughout La Jolla. Considered one of the oldest crime prevention projects in North America, SEE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, A18

Westbourne residents get new street lights BY ASHLEY MACKIN To improve safety for the hundreds of La Jolla High School students and residents who regularly use Westbourne Street — whether to get to or from school, the beach or the 7-11 convenience store — homeowners successfully advocated for the installation of more street lights, which went up in late August. Leading the charge, Nathan Jernigan, who said his truck was stolen twice when parked on the street, cited those incidents as well as pedestrian safety concerns, when seeking the lights. “There was a street light at one corner near the high school, and another at La Jolla Boulevard. So unless someone on the block had a porch light on — or lights on inside the house facing the street — that was our only source of light at night,” he said. In support, resident Melinda Merryweather added, “It’s a super dark street … and in the winter months when it gets dark early, it’s scary to walk up and down. Plus, there always seems to be something going on at the high school, so students walk up and down the street. It made me nervous.” So about five months ago, Jernigan, with help from wife, Stephanie, and Merryweather, petitioned the city for more street lights. “We went to La Jolla Traffic & Transportation board and the La Jolla Town Council, and through them, we got in touch with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and learned about the Dawn to Dusk program,” Jernigan said. SDG&E spokesperson Allison Torres explained that through the program, special SDG&E lights can be installed on existing wood poles (pending review by SDG&E). There is no upfront cost for most installations unless excess cable is required. SEE STREET LIGHTS, A16

‘Structure’ Ruling Stands

City affirms position on artist’s installation

BY ASHLEY MACKIN After two hearings and more than six months of review, the City of San Diego Code Enforcement division has ruled the artistic installation at 6707 Avenida Mañana facing Nautilus Street is an “unpermitted structure.” The piece in question is a 10-foot-tall hut-like installation that artist and La Jolla resident Nasser Pirasteh has, from the onset, argued is a “sculpture.” Pirasteh has 60 calendar days to relocate or completely remove the piece and pay administrative costs of $1,143.57 and $5,000 in civil penalties. Having received notice of the city’s decision over the Labor Day weekend, the artist was not ready to

announce his next move. Although he said he was “saddened” by the decision, Pirasteh was not entirely surprised — and is likely not going to appeal. “The city threw everything but the kitchen sink at us during the Code Enforcement hearings,” he said, referencing administrative reviews in June and July. “I felt like no matter what we said, no matter what evidence we offered, they weren’t going to change their position.” As such, he said he feels an appeal would be moot. “Who should I appeal to? No one at the city is listening to us. If we have another hearing, there will be another judge SEE STRUCTURE, A3

FROM STRUCTURE, A1 and the city will continue to protect their own. I can’t fight this forever. We don’t have the money or power to fight them and keep this going. This is not justice to me, but what can I do?” In March, Pirasteh received notice that an “unpermitted accessory structure” had been observed in his front yard, and needed to be removed. At that time, he was notified civil penalties may be assessed at a daily rate not to exceed $2,500 per day, not to exceed a total maximum of $250,000. At issue was the construction of a structure in the front yard setback of the property for which Pirasteh had not filed building permits. The artist told La Jolla Light that because he felt he was erecting a sculpture, he did not need building permits. On June 17, City of San Diego administrative hearing officer James Queenan held a hearing to give Code Enforcement officers the opportunity to present evidence that the installation was an unpermitted accessory structure, and also to listen to testimony from the artist and his supporters arguing the piece is a sculpture. Pirasteh has approximately 90 other uncontested (albeit smaller) sculptures in his yard. One month later, on July 21, Pirasteh requested a second hearing to present evidence he felt would permit him to keep the installation where it is: a footnote in the San Diego Municipal Code that could reduce the setback of Pirasteh’s yard. If the footnote had applied, the piece would no longer be in violation. However, the city deemed the footnote irrelevant, so they did not investigate the possibility of applicability before the hearing. “That last hearing was tough because there was only one thing to review, and the city didn’t even bother,” Pirasteh said. “It showed us no matter what we said, they weren’t going to consider it.” Following the decision, Pirasteh said he did not yet know if he was going to move the piece to another area of the property or demolish it altogether. The installation at 6707 Avenida Mañana has been deemed a structure and subject to city code violations and fines.

GOING FOR THE GOLD

Local foundation backs USA Paralympic Games team

Rudy Garcia-Tolson

COURTESY OF CHALLENGED ATHLETES FOUNDATION

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Challenged athlete Rudy Garcia-Tolson will swim his most important race in the Rio Paralympic Games on Sept. 13, one day before his 28th birthday. “For that day, the best gift will be to have won the gold medal,” he said. The Riverside native is one of 120 athletes competing with Team USA in the Paralympic Games 2016, who have received funding at some point in their careers from the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), which is based in La Jolla. That makes up 42 percent of the team. “At CAF we pride ourselves on training new challenged athletes, new Paralympians,” explained Garcia-Tolson, who is also a CAF spokesperson. He said he first got in touch with CAF at age 8 when he attended the San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC) in La Jolla. “I never met anybody else who was like me. It was very motivating and eye-opening that there was a whole world of challenged athletes out there,” he recalled. A year later he started doing the 1.2-mile relay swim, and he completed the race for the following 10 years. This year’s SDTC will take place Friday, Oct. 21 to Sunday, Oct. 23 throughout La Jolla and will include a weekend full of activities for challenged athletes and their families. From sport clinics, parades, dinners, speeches and walks to the Triathlon, staff and volunteers will be focused on reaching the $1 million fundraising goal and creating the sense of community. The event is one of CAF’s chief fundraisers, and proceeds mostly go to fund the 2,100 grants that Foundation gives annually to people with disabilities. CAF director of programs Dawna Callahan explained, “We fund everything from very entry level introductory beginning folks, who just want to be back in sport again, all the way to the elite level

JOSE ANDRES VARGAS

27-year-old Rudy Garcia-Tolson: ‘Our goal is to make challenged athletes feel like they have no challenges.’ — that’s the pinnacle.” The online application for grants opened Sept. 2 at challengedathletes.org Of the total amount in grants, 89 percent stay in the United States, while 11 percent go to other countries. Callahan explained that members of other teams in the Rio Paralympic Games have been funded by the CAF, “we just got an e-mail from a parent whose son is on the Great Britain Paralympics team, and his trip was funded by us.” Basketball, Callahan said, is the most popular sport among the challenged athletes, but they don’t limit their funding to specific fields. “From A to Z, Archery to Zumba, we will support their efforts in participating in those sports,” she pointed out.

RICH CRUSE

Roderick Sewell and Rudy Garcia-Tolson participate in the San Diego Triathlon Challenge after the swimming leg. Garcia-Tolson said, “The first thing the CAF did for me was getting my family a van to take me around to races in San Diego, as well as other local races.” Shortly after that, at age 9, he joined a swim club where he was the only child with a disability. “I loved the freedom of the water, I loved that I didn’t need legs for swimming,” he said, “that’s when I set my first goal, and that was beat a kid with legs — and I finally did it!” He will be in Rio Sept. 3-18, and will participate in the 100 meters butterfly, 100 meters breast stroke and 200 meters individual medley swimming events. Although he hopes to bring home some medals, he said his most cherished accomplishment came in the 2004 Paralympic

COURTESY OF CHALLENGED ATHLETES FOUNDATION

Garcia-Tolson plans to compete in three swimming events at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.

Games, when he won the gold medal and broke the world record for his class in the 200 meter individual medley swimming event. “When I was 8 years old, I told everyone that I wanted to be in the Paralympics,” he said, “and I did. I not only participated, but I broke a world record and won the gold. My mom was in the crowd and my friends were cheering … that’s my most-prized medal.” Garcia-Tolson was born with club foot, webbed fingers on both hands and a cleft lip. After numerous operations, at age 5 he had both legs amputated above the knee, and he began to walk with the use of prosthetics. “There’s a stigma that (people with disabilities) need extra help, and

often times we do, but at the end of the day, we want to live the same lifestyle as any able-bodied person. Through sports you can get back into life, whatever it may be,” he said. The athlete said he is proud of the CAF’s role in training the next generation of challenged athletes. “We want to show people that the real disability is a negative attitude,” he concluded. ■ WHAT TO KNOW MORE?

Planners OK Jones residence, wedding procession BY ASHLEY MACKIN After four presentations to the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC), three design revisions, and a presentation to La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) last month, the Jones Residence project got two more hours of community review during LJCPA’s Sept. 1 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. This time, the home-build project at 2315 Rue De Anne in the Hidden Valley area was approved. For the project, applicant (and LJCPA trustee) Brian Will requests a Site Development Permit and Coastal Development Permit to demolish an existing 1,961-square-foot, single-family residence and construct a new 4,975-square-foot single family residence with attached garage and pool. Arguing everything from whether the project is two stories or split level; the accuracy of Will’s presentation; community character; Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which are outside of LJCPA’s purview, but discussed at length anyway; the board and residents hashed out the issues before casting a vote. The proposed building height is just over 23 feet where the existing house is 16 feet tall and the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is .265. Will said several surrounding homes have a FAR over .27. There is an “upper level” to the house, though there was some contention as to whether it makes the house split level or two-story. Will said the upper level is set back into the adjacent hillside to minimize

Land-use attorney Julie Hamilton speaks for neighbors opposed to the Jones Residence project. impact. He also said there are a few multiple-story homes (two level, three level and “other”) in the neighborhood, so adding another home larger than one story is not unprecedented. “When we talk about bulk and scale, we can see it’s only a few feet higher than the existing house. When we talk about FAR, we see this project is smaller than surrounding homes. But what we can also see is the perceived bulk and scale. Since we pushed this development back so far into the hillside, it is perceived to be much smaller than the existing property,” Will said, noting

there is at least 24 feet of side setbacks to distance the property from its neighbors. He added, “This project meets the requirements of the municipal code, La Jolla Shores design guidelines, uses materials and designs consistent with the neighborhood, and we’ve met with the neighbors and worked with them on the three re-designs to mitigate their concerns in terms of privacy, noise, view and shadow.” LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson, who also sits on the PRC board that approved the project, said, “Everyone has bent over backwards to try to make this project work for everybody.

Jones Residence project applicant and LJCPA trustee Brian Will listens to community feedback. This design was a compromise … and I think it’s a good compromise.” Disagreeing, land-use attorney Julie Hamilton spoke on behalf of residents opposed to the project, largely because of the opinion that it’s out of character with surrounding homes, and objection to a new development larger than one story. “It’s not consistent with the bulk and scale of the community. You are supposed to compliment the general design of surrounding buildings in adjacent areas, and this doesn’t do that. It doesn’t transition from old development to new

LJCPA chair Cindy Greatrex development,” she said. Other residents argued it is “an intrusive change to the community” because it has more than one story. Siding with the 10 residents in attendance against the project, LJCPA trustee Phil Merten, “I’m pleased to see this ‘second floor’ is set so far back from the front, but nevertheless, when one is walking down that street, and especially neighbors across the street, they will look back at this house and see that second floor projecting up from the first floor. That is a substantial change on this particular street.” After each trustee offered their opinion — during which applicant Will recused himself — they voted 10-2-2 to ratify the findings of the PRC committee for the requested permits, and approved the project.

The time was not disclosed, but the closure would begin at Coast Blvd. South and end at La Valencia Hotel. Road barriers for the event were approved by San Diego Police Department. The procession will include members of the wedding party, led by one horse and a two-by-four-by-four battery-operated mobile disc-jockey cart. Area businesses have reportedly been notified and none were at the meeting to object. LJCPA trustee Ray Weiss noted, “If there was a time to be gracious, it would be now. If the businesses in the area do not object, I don’t think we should either.” Trustee John Shannon agreed and said he saw the event as an opportunity to promote

La Jolla. “There will be photographs and videos and it will show people this is a wonderful place to come, not only to get married, but just to visit. … In addition, it will only be for 45 minutes and it might be a cultural spectacle people would like to see.” A motion to support the lane closure passed 10-3-1. ■ AT&T tower approved: Pulled for review by the applicant to avoid potential delays, an AT&T project to replace five antennae atop tower structures in the Soledad Mountain area was approved. The property site is at 2122 Via Casa Alta and has a number of other towers. The antennae are on a building and a 174-foot tower owned by KGTV, and the locations range from 14- to 32-feet above ground level. The tower structures would not change, just the 32-foot antennae atop them. Applicant Jamo Stephenson, representing a colleague, said, “AT&T is looking to remove six antennae and replace five of them. … The

power output will not be changing and the coverage will be similar, as well. The antennae are mounted on a tower structure, and in order to keep up with demand, the antennae need to be replaced. The tower structure is not moving at all.” A motion to support the replacement passed. ■ Special election for two seats: Two LJCPA trustees — Steve Haskins and Alex Outwater — stepped down from their board positions after determining they could no longer fulfill the commitment. This necessitates a special election in December to fill those seats. LJCPA chair Cindy Greatrex said any eligible and interested person may e-mail her a candidate statement at: info@lajollacpa.org Eligible board candidates must be current LJCPA members and have attended three meetings in the 12 months leading up to the election. More at ljcpa.org ■ UCSD Working Group meets: The UC San Diego Community Working Group, consisting of UCSD planners and members of La Jolla’s community planning groups, had its inaugural meeting to discuss the university’s long-range development plan, which includes details of all the development set for the campus in the next two years. Greatrex said it was an “excellent” meeting, but only provided a “sketch” of the long-range plan. “We will continue to meet monthly for at least the next two years, and after each meeting, there will be a presentation posted on the website: lrdp.ucsd.edu” she said. — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Scientists ID Chronic Fatigue ‘signature’ Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a mysterious and maddening condition, with no cure or known cause. But researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine, using a variety of techniques to identify and assess targeted metabolites in blood plasma, have identified a characteristic chemical signature for the debilitating ailment and an unexpected underlying biology: It is similar to the state of dauer, and other hypometabolic syndromes like caloric restriction, diapause and hibernation. Dauer is the German word for persistence or long-lived. It is a type of stasis in the development in some invertebrates that is prompted by harsh environmental conditions. The findings are published online in the Aug. 29 issue of PNAS. The discovery, along with revealed underlying biology, could lead to faster, more accurate diagnoses and more effective, personalized therapies. As many as 2.5 million Americans are believed to have CFS. It most often afflicts women in their 30s to 50s, though both genders and all ages can be affected. The primary symptom is severe fatigue lasting at least six months, with corollary symptoms ranging from muscle pain and headaches to sleep and memory problems.

A scene from a previous relay at La Jolla Cove.

Team members tag-off in this scene from last year’s relay.

COURTESY LJ10MILERELAY.COM

Swimmers sought for 10 Mile Relay benefit

FROM 10 MILE RELAY REPORTS The 15th edition of the La Jolla Cove 10 Mile Relay, “A Celebration of Swimming and Community Giving,” is planned to take place 7 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 25. The event was not held in 2014 due to the construction at the Cove, and while the current sea lion situation is less than ideal, relay organizers are hoping that will not diminish the overall enjoyment had by all. This annual charity swim event benefits the American Diabetes Association and the San Diego Junior Lifeguard Foundation.

The event consists of teams of up to five members each swimming a 1-mile course in La Jolla Cove in a relay fashion. Each member swims two legs to complete the 10 miles. Some entrants tackle the whole 10 miles, solo. The teams give themselves names like “Eat Our Bubbles,” “Shark Bait,” “Will Swim for Happy Hour” and “Swims Like Jagger” and engage in friendly competition across nine different categories based on the collective age of the team members. In 2015, the event set a record with 97

teams, 12 solo swimmers and more than 435 participants; and donated $17,300 to its beneficiary organizations. “This is one of the premier open water swim events of the year and routinely considered one of the most fun,” said Tom Hecker, one of the event directors, and himself a seasoned open water swimmer having completed the English Channel, the Catalina Channel, and Around Manhattan swims. “It is a unique format that allows for camaraderie among the teams during the

event while showcasing beautiful La Jolla Cove. Last year, 40 percent of participants were from outside San Diego County.” Registrations are running ahead of last year’s pace, which may indicate that 100-plus teams may be in the offing for this year. The cost is $60 per swimmer. The swag includes swim caps, a longsleeve race T-shirt, refreshments and post-race snack, give-aways from local merchants and more.

“Only one customer can be responsible for the monthly payment and the SDG&E bill is put into that customer’s name and mailed directly to them,” Torres said. “Different light types and wattages are available, but the cost for the most common light is approximately $16 per month. If the wood pole is installed strictly for the light, there will be an additional $9 pole charge per month.” However, SDG&E cannot install new wood poles in designated underground areas or overhead-to-underground conversion boundaries. Torres added SDG&E will perform all maintenance and repairs on the light free of charge, and comply with lighting polices of San Diego municipalities. Since they met the criteria, and were willing to foot the bill, residents got the lights installed. “They said it would take five months, and they were pretty much right on target,” Jernigan said. “We got the lights right when school resumed, so it will be great for the kids.” Of the quick turn-around, Merryweather said, “It was amazing. If the City of San Diego was going to put in the lights, they would be more expensive and it would take a longer time.” She recommends the program to anyone who

ASHLEY MACKIN

thinks their street is too dark. “It’s worth it to have lights on your street,” she said. “It’s much safer.” Joking that during football games “there will be 300 people walking up and down that street,” Jernigan said, “It’s good that this little area is getting some attention.”

But wait! There’s more!

This is the second safety improvement the area has seen in the last year. In August 2015, the city installed a pedestrian-activated lighted crosswalk across La Jolla Boulevard at Westbourne Street in response to resident concerns that the existing crosswalk was unsafe. Prior to the installation, there were no lights, stop sign or any other device to halt cars if a pedestrian entered the crosswalk. “The lighted crosswalk has been huge, and it’s still not 100 percent successful, because people don’t always stop, but it is 100 times better than it was,” Merryweather commented. ■ Interested in the Dawn to Dusk program for your street? Request a SDG&E review by calling 1(800) 411-7343 or e-mailing streetlighting@semprautilities.com If available, provide the pole number of the wood pole where you’d like the light installed. The pole number will be at eye-level on the pole and begin with a “P.”

New Millennium Neighborhood Watch

FROM NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, A1 Neighborhood Watch was created under the auspices of National Sheriffs Association in 1972 to address a rise in burglaries. Since then, the program has empowered residents to become the eyes and ears of the police department — especially in times of short-staffing and lack of manpower on the force. San Diego Police Department Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser, who for the last three years has helped neighborhoods start a Watch program, said when he took up his post, the Neighborhood Watch resurgence was on its way in, fueled by several factors. A progressing combination of shortage of officers and laws that gave leniency to certain crimes (and those who commit them), left San Diego police with their hands full, and unable to proactively patrol problem areas. In 2012, the city passed Proposition B, which imposed a six-year freeze on pay increases, and took away one another appeal for becoming a police officer. Hesselgesser said police candidates would go through San Diego’s academy training and then apply with another agency. “When (potential officers realized) you can do the same work that requires the same training at another agency, but make thousands of dollars more per year, we started to lose new recruits,” he explained. In 2014, aspersions were cast on police after Michael Brown, an African-American, was fatally shot by white officers in Ferguson, Missouri and the lead officer was not indicted on charges. This created what is known in the department as the “Ferguson Effect,” which Hesselgesser explained as, “with all the negativity out there from the news media and social media, maybe someone who wanted to be on the force might think this is not the time to be an officer.” That same year, Proposition 47 passed, which reduced the classification of most “non-serious and nonviolent property and drug crimes” from a felony to a misdemeanor. What previously led to an arrest, could now be concluded with a ticket.

But in 2011, the neighborhood-specific social networking website nextdoor.com launched, and Hesselgesser said it gave Neighborhood Watch programs some teeth. On Nextdoor.com, residents can post and report suspicious activity or other goings on. Those with profiles on the site must provide their name and address to show they live in that area, and can privately exchange information in seconds. “Usually a Neighborhood Watch Captain will see something on nextdoor.com and ask me about it, so we’re aware. The best thing is when the neighbors start seeing a series, report the trends, and send that to us,” he said. “The misconception people have about the website is that (the police) can see what people post. We can’t. Users can send me a private message with reports or questions, but until someone does, we don’t see what gets posted.” Armed with nextdoor.com profiles, many Neighborhood Watch groups have formed with access to 21st Century resources.

How La Jolla uses Neighborhood Watch

Tailoring activities to meet their needs, each community has a different manifestation of the program. In Bird Rock, the Neighborhood Watch chair regularly reports to the Community Council meetings, offering tips from police and updates on area crime trends. The newest Neighborhood Watch is in the Muirlands area, and began meeting in August after home burglaries got out of hand. Like many other inaugural Neighborhood Watch meetings, Officer Hesselgesser was in attendance to provide advice, resources and general safety information to deter break-ins. Since then, “We’ve identified captains and are in the process of getting the Neighborhood Watch signs made. We are also setting up a neighborhood communication method so people can share any suspicious activities they see in the neighborhood,” said resident Ruo Steensma. “We will also take action to raise the security issue with the Mayor, Police Chief and other city officials.

than their fair share of taxes, and people feel we are on the city’s low-priority list.” Although too early to tell if the program is working, residents are optimistic and said they appreciated the guidance from police. In the Barber Tract, which covers 300 houses, the Barber Tract Neighborhood Association witnessed an increase in illegal drug and alcohol use, due to secluded beach areas with low visibility and minimal police presence. Further, said Neighborhood Watch chair Cynthia Chasen, residents with garages were leaving their cars in the driveway, and burglars were breaking the car windows to access the garage door opener to get inside. Because many residents would not lock the door joining the garage and the house, burglars would walk into the house through the unlocked door. After pleading for increased law enforcement (but realistic that they might not get it), Neighborhood Watch members gathered funds to privately pay for the installation of cameras on the beach. “We also ran a campaign to remind homeowners to lock the door from their garage to their home, as the SDPD notified us this was the mechanism of entry the burglars were using,” Chasen said. “This was hugely successful. We also replaced our old sun-beaten Neighborhood Watch signs with new signs this year.” In the cul-de-sacs that make up the La Jolla Alta One neighborhood, a burglary prompted the formation of a Watch group. “My neighbor across the street is elderly, on oxygen, and in a wheelchair, and was robbed,” said Watch Captain Christie Clark-Edelson. “I was alarmed and thought someone should do something. In April, we neighbors all felt we wanted to get involved.” At the initial meeting, about 60 people attended, she said, and the Neighborhood Watch has had “great participation” ever since. “There was suspicious activity going on and we all realized we didn’t know each other well enough. But now each cul-de-sac has a captain and co-captain, and we meet quarterly. Now, people are talking and getting to know their neighbors.” SEE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, A27

A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits for style and service BY DAVID L. CODDON What’s with all the well-dressed guys walking around Bird Rock? Chances are they’re coming out of A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits, a family business in the neighborhood since 1998 that’s owned by happily transplanted Midwesterner Jerry Klein. Klein’s philosophy is a simple one: “I enjoy making people happy with what they’re wearing.” A Better Deal encompasses 5,000 square feet and houses its complete inventory — tuxedos, suits and formalwear accessories — on site. Klein’s staff numbers anywhere from five to seven, depending on the season. Not surprisingly, they’re busier at prom time or when traditional June weddings roll around, but Klein says the business is pretty steady. Formalwear, he says, is “for important occasions but also for people who are facing the public.” Klein learned the business long before he moved to San Diego in 1970, working for someone else in Chicago. It was a job that would take him all over the United States as that store expanded. “I got the chance to run a couple of stores in Chicago,” Klein recalled, “and the next thing I know he was selling franchises throughout the country. It was a huge success.”

Jerry and Janet Klein operate A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits in Bird Rock. But all the traveling kept Klein away from his family. Deciding to settle in one place and be his own boss, he chose San Diego. Today both he and his wife remain actively involved in the store. “It’s still seven days a week,” Klein said. “My wife Janet is a big contributor. Both of us have enjoyed it and we have been pretty

COURTESY

successful with it, thank goodness.” Thanks, too, to the customer service that Klein insists upon for his employees. Most formalwear stores, he said, are “mall stores” where the personal touch can be lost. At A Better Deal “It isn’t just ‘Hi, what can I do for you? Give me a 40 regular,’ and they’re gone. It’s more of a

pleasure to solve their problems. “We teach our people to make sure the customers are happy about their clothes.” What’s popular in formalwear is cyclical. Klein pointed out that favored colors change as do styles, “from the bell bottoms to the very ‘not-tailored’ garments.” More and more men are choosing fine suits as well as tuxedos for formal occasions, and the popularity of accessories such as cummerbunds is noticeable. One thing that Klein says hasn’t changed: “People’s desire to dress up.” In case you’re wondering, A Better Deal is also selling garments for women now. “We’re making some of that inventory available for them as well,” Klein said. “They deserve the same service and respect that we give (men).” After more than 40 years in the formalwear business, you’d think the Kleins might be thinking about retirement. Not so. This industry, Klein said, “keeps you going and keeps you interested in people and in clothing.” ■ A Better Deal Tuxedo & Suits, 369 Bird Rock Ave., La Jolla.

Most prestigious watch brand, Patek Philippe, now at CJ Charles Jewelers FROM CJ CHARLES JEWELERS REPORTS As of September 2016, CJ Charles Jewelers in La Jolla is an official retailer for the Swiss watch brand, Patek Philippe, which is renowned for innovation, quality and heritage. Established in Geneva in 1839, Patek Phillipe is the last independent family-owned watch manufacturer. Over four generations, the Stern family continues to uphold the legacy and tradition of the original founders. If you are wearing a Patek Philippe, then you are wearing a timeless masterpiece that will be enjoyed for generations to come. Said Vahid Moradi, president and CEO of CJ Charles Jewelers, “Patek Philippe has been a personal and business pursuit of mine for nearly 25 years. Where do I begin? Is it the legacy of Patek, their mastery of movement making, or what they represent to watch collectors worldwide? “I have to start by saying it’s even more than all of the above. A Patek Philippe client understands the true DNA of watchmaking and feels privileged owning it. They understand that the Patek Philippe in their collection will be cherished not only by themselves, but by their children, and their grandchildren. In 1998, a year after my son was born, I started collecting my first Patek Philippe: a Patek Calatrava followed by a Patek Annual Calendar. My personal passion then was the driving force to our current partnership with Patek Philippe. “Now I am finally able to represent and present the brand to our incredibly loyal collectors and clients in Southern California.” Across the world, vintage Patek Philippe timepieces are highly sought after.

OUR READERS WRITE Coyotes blamed for two cat deaths in Muirlands Please publish a warning to pet owners. My cat was killed by a coyote last week around 7 p.m. I kept her in at night, but never dreamed she was in danger in the morning. The attack happened in wooded greenbelt in front of our house, with houses above, below and at each side. I live in La Jolla Summit in the Muirlands area. I found out from our homeowners’ manger that another cat was killed in our complex several weeks ago. I was told there have been multiple sightings of coyotes in the area, recently. I think the new construction is driving them out of their territory and over to our locale. The horrible sight of that coyote carrying my beautiful cat will haunt me for a long time. When I screamed it dropped her, leaving only her hindquarters. So cruel. Name witheld by request

Issue citations, not roundabouts I am writing to express my concern about the proposed “roundabout” on La Jolla Mesa Drive at the intersection of Cottontail Lane. First, this will not “calm” speeding traffic. La Jolla Mesa is a long street and one “roundabout” at the crest of the hill will not stop speeding on the rest of the road. Instead of spending our tax money for this expensive, yet ineffective plan, I suggest we use already existing city resources: San Diego City Traffic Control Police officers. If traffic officers spent 4-6 hours total each week at random sites on streets leading to the top of Mt. Soledad (Via Capri, Nautilus, Cardeno, Mt. Soledad Road and La Jolla Mesa) we could drastically reduce speeding in La Jolla. Funds saved from not constructing the “roundabout” and issuing traffic tickets could be used to repair La Jolla’s dangerously deteriorated roads. Dr. Lauren Hunter-Weber

La Jolla needs a good weed whacker La Jolla is a lovely town with one glaring exception: the weeds that grow rampant in sidewalk cracks and along median strips. The first thing visitors see driving in on La Jolla Parkway or Soledad Mountain Road is long rows of dead and dying weeds. It’s embarrassing. One gardener with one weed whacker once a month would make all the difference. La Jolla Town

Council, Rotary, Kiwanis, are you listening? Dwight Filley

Artist’s dilemma points to inexcusable failures of city agencies Sadly, a real-life story that stretches incredulity, and ridiculousness, to the limits has been happening in San Diego for many months. This predicament involves one of our city’s most prominent official agencies and its actions against two citizens who have lived in La Jolla, peacefully for many years. On March 8, 2016, the city initiated a Civil Penalty Notice and Order against Nasser Pirasteh, an artist/sculptor, and his wife, Zahra, who live on a quiet street in La Jolla. The notice asserted that their property was in violation of several municipal codes that could be subject to civil penalties of $2,500 per day up to a maximum of $250,000. Their Code Violation? It’s the artistic sculptural creation of Nasser, titled “In-Out,” that he installed at the top of their front yard. This intriguing sculptural art piece has been the subject of numerous articles in both The San Diego Union-Tribune and the La Jolla Light newspapers during the past six months. (La Jolla Light reporter Ashley Mackin has been particularly thorough in her full coverage of the Pirasteh’s long plight.) I drove to the Pirasteh home to investigate this predicament directly, and when I arrived, Nasser graciously showed me the sculpture in question, and gave me a tour of their property. What I witnessed was a beautiful home and a beautiful front yard sculptural artwork created at the top of their property! I also read many supportive notes written by school kids who walk by their home every day. I simply could not believe that anyone could raise objections to such a beautiful work of art! Since then, there have been two public hearings on this matter, the most recent in mid-July. That hearing was based on the newly discovered information, obtained from City Development Services, that because the Pirasteh property is on a “slope” incline, their legal setback was, in fact, six feet for allowable “structures” to be within City Code! In other words, the sculpture created by Nasser at the top of his property slope was perfectly within City Code! Hence, the Civil Penalty Notice and Order against them on March 8 was totally wrong and irrelevant! However, when this new information was presented by an attorney to an appeal Hearing Officer in mid-July, city officials were unprepared and ignorant of the facts of the hearing. The Hearing Officer, however, clearly

understood what Nasser’s attorney presented to the court, and he promised to present his conclusive opinion to the claimants by July 31. As I write this (Aug. 30) nothing has been reported to the Pirastehs or their attorney, despite several attempts to contact the Hearing Officer or Code Compliance personnel as to the conclusion result of this hearing! This is a perpetual example of injustice and disgusting neglect by officials of our City Government, people we pay as citizen taxpayers of San Diego. It is reprehensible behavior that should not be allowed, or forgiven. In my view, the city’s failure to provide promised notice and conclusions from the most recent hearing should be considered a complete nullification of their Code violation claims, and the matter officially closed! David H. Katz, M.D .

What’s the source of the sidewalk sand? I don’t know how many others have noticed, but our beachside sidewalks have been covered in sand for the last year or so. Because I first noticed it at The Cove, I thought it was due to sea lion poop polluting the sand and making it stick to people’s shoes. But it’s on all the sidewalks from the Brockton Villa to Big Rock. Not only is it an aesthetic issue, it’s a safety issue, too, if it causes someone to fall. It might take a research grant to find the cause, but it would be nice to know if we can fix it. Tom Keener

Let’s try ‘waving’ the sea lions away Friends of mine from Dana Point said their sea lion/seal problems with the animals lounging on the boat docks was GREATLY diminished with the extensive use of wind socks. The amount of air sent through them varied with the number of “visitors.” The wind socks could be colored or designed with ocean waves, etc. It might be worth a try, here at La Jolla Cove.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 - PAGE A23

Recalling the seals, snakes and snails of the past BY CAROL OLTEN he news reports are rampant. Creatures of the wild from earth, sea and sky are seeking the urban and suburban experience. Squirrels and skunks in greater numbers than ever before scurry over the sidewalks of Queens and Brooklyn. Bears are inviting themselves into swank resorts in Montana and scavaging the Sub-Zeros. A possum is discovered shopping in the cereal aisles in a Midwestern Walmart. Scientists are writing serious papers about subjects such as how living in Manhattan is changing the DNA and behavior patterns of … blackbirds! Carol Olten And in La Jolla, we have seals, sea lions and seagulls. More and more of them. Invading shops and houses. Community debates, civic kerfuffles and hundreds of dollars spent in studies about what should be done about them. But wait a minute. Is this history repeating itself? Let’s consider the marine life (and the other “critter” invaders such as rattlesnakes, snails, etc. that have plagued La Jolla through the years evoking zealous human intervention) in historic context.

At The Turn of the Century

Then as now, in the early 1900s seals were considered both a tourist attraction by some and a nuisance by others. On the plus side, seals were listed as one of the “seven wonders” of La Jolla in an advertisement promoting La Jolla Shores development in The San Diego Union newspaper advertisement of 1925, their happy “barks” equally esteemed with the curious formations of Alligator Head and the gleaming goldfish (actually garibaldi) below Goldfish Point. An earlier account in the same newspaper under the headline “Delightful La Jolla” observed: “Whales and seals have been on daily parade, the former spouting near the kelp beds in freedom and security. Surprised and delighted Easterners, who have never seen such monsters before, stood on the shore, shouting and enjoying the exhibition to the utmost.” In those days, not terribly far removed from Charles Darwin’s revolutionary papers on the origins of species and with Scripps Institution of Oceanography already becoming a landmark, La Jolla was looked upon as a destination to observe “killer” grumpus whales — “the most powerful and

GUEST COMMENTARY

pugnacious of ocean dwellers” — in interaction with the seals — “a delicacy to the grumpus;” also, a destination to explore the ocean’s secrets in tidepools and collect exotic specimens and seaweed in the spirit of post-Darwinian science. In the early 1900s, La Jolla’s rich and varied marine life was a cause for study and wonder, rather than the threatening phenomenon it appears to have become today. One account, however, recorded in a headline that a swimmer was “hit on head by seal; gets pain in the neck.” The subsequent story explained: “John F. Forward, Jr., was hit on the head by a seal while swimming off La Jolla yesterday. Mr. Forward said he saw a number of seals disporting off the La Jolla Cove, and he swam out to join them. ‘The first thing I knew I received a terrific bump in the back of the head and when I turned around I discovered one of these playful fellows looking me square in the eye,’” he reported to a local scribe.

Those Roaring Twenties

The first major contention that erupted between seals and citizens occurred in the 1920s. Fishermen — including men’s and women’s fishing clubs — contended that seals were eating too many fish and getting caught in their nets. A group took action, got in a boat and shot a number of the Pinnipedia as they were cavorting off the coastline. This produced predictable results: A community group organized to protect the seals “as an attraction” unique to La Jolla as to the Santa Barbara Channel and Seal rocks, off the harbor of San Francisco.”

Through history, La Jolla appears to have had a particular propensity for organizing itself as either for or against invasive forces from the critter kingdoms. (Thank goodness, we haven’t had to combat serious enemies such as killer tomatoes and body snatchers!) In 1921 when the hills seemed alive with rattlesnakes and golfers complained they were eating their golf balls at the La Jolla Country Club, La Jollans organized a Rattlesnake Club to take to the field with armaments. A snail invasion, also in the 1920s, resulted in a Civic League especially grouped to find ways to eliminate the pests, accumulating ankle-deep in gardens, yards and trash dumps. A story in The San Diego Union newspaper of Oct. 4, 1922, makes much ado of how the League tried poisoning, collecting and burning and dubious suggestions by various entomologists (why they consulted with insect specialists when the subject was mollusks who knows) before discovering the solution was to import pigeons to eat the Helix Pisana. The solution came about after an eminent scientist wanted a squab dinner, examined the bird’s craw in the process of cleaning it and found, obviously, that pigeons liked those tasty escargots for lunch. The newspaper story, a special to The Union, announced in a headline, “La Jollan Finds Pigeon Is Enemy of Helix Pisana Discovery Made Through Accident; Civic League Plans to Raise Municipal Flock.” The Rattlesnake Club, meanwhile, took matters into their own hands with a field trip one September day in 1921 above the Biological Grade at La Jolla Shores. An entourage of about a dozen club members included “President Burdick equipped with leggings and antidote, Mrs. Burdick with a yellow flag to catch the varmints’ teeth, Field Captain Peak with a long staff, two Misses Savages with short skirts and no leggings, Mrs. Lane in knickerbocker and low slippers, Mr. Lane looking slightly bored but wishing to be on hand in case of snake bite, Mr. Wood field secretary with gun and heavy armaments …” Despite being so definitively outfitted and equipped, the safari into the wild found only one snake — “a three-rattle rattler” (which) “the willing secretary, on request blew its bloomin’ head off.” The club had no more field trips and dissipated after only a couple meetings. So, apparently, did the snakes. Carol Olten is a former journalist and current historian with the La Jolla Historical Society.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) in our community. No matter what the pundits will tell you, pot is a gateway drug. Two of my La Jolla schoolmates started out using marijuana, and progressed to other drugs that eventually led to both their deaths. Marijuana today is significantly more potent than the pot from 20-30 years ago. A Brown University study says it all, “It’s wrong to say that this (pot use) is not at all addictive.” It is also no wonder that many California police associations are against Proposition 64. They are aware of the expected increase in traffic casualties caused by drivers under the influence of pot. Another concern is the growing of pot inside homes and apartments. Due to the special nature of marijuana harvesting in a home, this substance can cause substantial damage to real estate property. I’ve seen the adverse effects of this in a rental in La Jolla. Lee Lambert

Website offers help for those facing addiction I was the parent of a teenager who started smoking marijuana in junior high and by

the time he was in high school he was selling and using. I tried everything to get him to stop, including joining Tough Love, calling other parents and his school. But most schools do NOT want to know about drugs on their campus. Eventually, he got arrested, spent time in prison and was in and out of rehab facilities. Finally, at age 24 while he was working and in a mandated recovery day program, something “clicked” for him and he has been sober for more than 10 years. But even more miraculous is that he now runs very successful sober-living homes in San Diego and helps people who like him struggled to stay drug/alcohol free. The only difference between my story and millions of other parents with addicted children is that my son is still alive, while others are either still using or are dead from overdose. There are nearly 45 million Americans and their families directly impacted by addiction and many of them would do anything to rid themselves of this disease. We fight an inadequate healthcare system along with the stigma and misconceptions associated with substance use disorder every day. Facing Addiction is bringing millions of

people impacted by addiction together to advocate for more effective policies and programs so that another family can be spared the pain I know all too well. I hope you’ll visit FacingAddiction.org to see what is happening to help solve this national health crisis. Anita Simons

SANDAG: Property, violent crime up

Smash-and-grab at Pharmaca Pharmacy

Property crime went up by 4 percent countywide in the first half of 2016, compared to the same time period last year, while violent crime increased by 1 percent, according to the mid-year crime report released last week by the SANDAG Criminal Justice Research Division. The full report can be found at sandag.org Included in property crime were auto thefts and burglaries. Motor vehicle thefts increased 16 percent in the first half of 2016, compared to mid-year 2015 (5,551 vehicles stolen, up from 4,778), that’s an average of four more per day. Also on the rise were residential and commercial burglaries. The 5,291 burglaries reported in the San Diego region in the first half of 2016 represented an increase of 6 percent from the first half of 2015 (when

Pharmaca Pharmacy on Girard Avenue was burglarized Aug. 30, in what may have been a spree of pharmacy-related break-ins across the city. Pharmaca manager Amiee Edwards said at 3:37 a.m. that Tuesday, three masked men broke into the 7650 Girard Ave. location. “They immediately went to our pharmacy; they didn’t go for anything else or make an attempt at our safe. There were in the store for two-and-a-half minutes. They knew exactly what they were doing; it was completely pharmacy-related,” she said. “They got away with a small amount of what we had in stock. There was a long list of drugs that they got. Thankfully, they did

there were 5,012). Other highlights from the report include: ■ A total of 5,409 violent crimes reported to law enforcement agencies in the region between January and June 2016, an average of 30 per day, about one more per day than the first half of 2015. ■ A total of 1,396 robberies were reported across the region, an increase of 4 percent in the first half of 2016, over mid-year 2015 (1,337). ■ A total of 31,799 property crimes were reported in the first half of 2016: 66 percent were larcenies, 17 percent burglaries, and 17 percent motor vehicle thefts. Property crimes make up the vast majority of crimes (85 percent) reported in the region. ■ Across property crime categories, burglaries were up 6 percent during the first six months of 2016, larcenies up by 1 percent, and motor vehicle thefts up by 16 percent.

most cases, so writing this number down is very important and keeping it handy in your records. Some bicycle shops will register bicycles and there are some websites that offer this service. Unfortunately, the City of San Diego no longer offers bicycle registration.” Officer Hesselgesser added: 1. Choose a lock based on your needs. A small, lightweight cable lock is usually good enough for quick mid-ride stops at local coffee shops. If you’re leaving your bike unattended all day while you’re at work or school, invest in a more heavy duty lock. U-Locks are a solid choice as they are not too big to carry but offer a decent amount of protection. 2. Lock your bike frame AND wheels to an immovable object. For maximum security, your cable lock or chain should be long enough to wrap around the bike’s frame, both wheels, and whatever you are locking your bike to. If you can’t include both wheels, then wrap the lock or U-Lock around the frame and the front wheel. Using a U-lock and cable provides the most secure way to lock up every major part of your bike. Lock your bike to an enclosed object that won’t let the lock be slipped off, ideally, a bike parking rack. If you have to use a free-standing pole, such as a parking meter or sign post, be sure that it’s high enough that your bike and lock can’t just be lifted right over the top. SEE CRIME NEWS, A27

La Jolla landmarks flagged for LGTBQ historical context BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN When architect Charles Kaminski moved to La Jolla in 1975, he was introduced to the local gay community from his apartment in the El Pueblo Ribera complex. “(The gay community) was then a handful of people, at least in my circle,” he said. The 69-year-old, who was then in his 20s, knew people from an older generation (ages 60-70) who “fit the gay stereotypes; they were hairstylists, decorators … but they were from the generation that just kept quiet.” Kaminski, who is a board member with Lambda Archives — a non-profit preserving and teaching the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) people in San Diego — is participating in San Diego’s citywide LGBTQ Historic Context Statement, an effort to evaluate historical resources important to this community. The San Diego City Council received $30,000 in state funding for the project, to be matched with $20,000 of city resources, including staff time to oversee development of the Historical Context Statement. For the draft, the city contracted with CPA Consulting (Los Angeles), which prepared a 105-page document highlighting themes relevant for the LGBTQ community. This was presented for public comment at two workshops, Aug. 25 and Aug. 27 at the Balboa Park Club ballroom. City public information officer Arian Collins elaborated, “In addition to identifying the themes important to the LGBTQ community, the draft also discusses the associated property types and the designation criteria under which they are likely to be eligible (for historical designation).” The draft identified four LGBTQ resources located in La Jolla — Black’s Beach; a restaurant named Skippers Twin Palms, located at 6737 La Jolla Blvd. and demolished in 1973; La Jolla Playhouse; and UC San Diego. To determine the assets researchers used gay publications and guides, said Kaminski. “Nobody really talked about being homosexual at that time, so anybody who went (to Skippers Twin Palms) was probably very discrete, and didn’t want to be singled out. Most of the bars in the 1960s and the ’70s were unmarked. It was really through word-of-mouth and through guides that people knew where to go, so they could feel comfortable.” Kaminski said he didn’t know of Skippers Twin Palms, since it was demolished before he moved here, but he pointed out other

An interior view of Bob Faust’s former home on 1944 Little St. establishments in La Jolla that were frequented by the LGBTQ community. For example, he told La Jolla Light of King Richard (613 Pearl St., see photo top right), The Hungry Horse in Bird Rock (6544 La Jolla Blvd.), Gustav Anders (La Jolla Shores), the Unicorn Theatre (7456 La Jolla Blvd.) and adjacent Mithras Bookstore and a gentleman’s bathhouse on La Jolla Boulevard. He also passed along this information to CPA Consulting, hoping it will help unveil the LGBTQ history in La Jolla. “There’s rumors, there’s heresay, there are some known facts, but nothing stands out as protests or civil disobedience, just kind of how gays and lesbians lived in those days, in the shadows.” La Jolla Historical Society Preservation Committee chair Diane Kane, who attended the Historic Context workshops, brought up a property at 1944 Little St. She said the current owners, Taylor Miller and Pauli Cannoli, approached her a year ago seeking help to get their residence designated “historical.” They claimed the property was previously owned by Bob Faust, reportedly a famous gay interior designer from Los Angeles, who established his permanent residence in La Jolla.

Charles Kaminski’s collection of matchbooks from San Diego restaurants often frequented by the LGBTQ community. On the topic, Miller wrote in an e-mail, “We have spoken to many of Bob Faust’s old friends, who fondly remember him and his parties clearly. He was one of the

original 1988 members of Gamma Mu, a non-profit founded in 1967 to help the LBGTQ communities.” Kane visited the house and reported it was worthy of a review

for historical designation. “When I learned of the LGBTQ Historic Context Statement, I thought that this property would fit — the time period, the people and the style were right.” She described the home’s style as “Colonial Revival,” with mirrors on the ceilings, very slick modern interiors, reflective adornments, and leather or fur for rugs. City staff will seek input on the themes identified in the Context, as well as the properties identified thus far and any additional properties. “Input from the public at these (past) workshops will be reviewed by city staff and incorporated into the document as appropriate,” Collins explained. “A follow-up workshop to present the revised draft will likely occur in mid-to-late September. A final document will be produced by mid-to-late fall.” However, in their criticism of the project, Kane and Kaminski agreed there was a lack of public outreach. “The idea is to get all the neighbors in the city to remember, but that really didn’t happen,” said Kaminski. La Jolla residents interested in sharing facts or citing properties in La Jolla related to the LGBTQ historical context, can contact city senior planner Kelley Stanco at (619) 236-6545 or kstanco@sandiego.gov

www.lajollalight.com FROM CRIME NEWS, A24 3. Park in a spot with visibility. If you choose a secluded, out-of-the way location, it might be less noticed, however, it provides a thief a better place to work on taking your bike without being spotted. Well lit, heavily travelled areas make for a good balance. Use your lock even when your bike is parked in your own garage at home. Garage doors left open offer thieves an easy target. 4. Keep a record of your bike and the serial number. Find the serial number of your bicycle, and make a note of it in your records at home. Keep a picture of the bike with your records, too. The serial number is usually stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket shell, this is the part of the bike frame where the pedals connect. There are several online resources (some free, some paid) that let you register your bike’s serial number, and report it as stolen if necessary. Check out the National Bike Registry or bikeregistry.com If your bike is ever stolen, the serial number can help get it back. Many law enforcement agencies have stolen recovered bicycles that have no record and must be auctioned off after a certain amount of time has passed, usually 90 days. If the police cannot prove the bike is yours, they will have a difficult time retrieving it for you in the event you find it in someone else’s possession. Online secondary sellers like Craigslist are a good place to post your stolen bike and to check if someone is trying to re-sell it.

FROM NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, A18 Since the initial burglary, there have not been any neighborhood robberies of which Clark-Edelson is aware. The efforts of the Neighborhood Watch program for the gated community of Emerald Cove led to the capture and sentencing of a burglar. Following a rash of home invasions that started in December 2015, residents took action and formed the Neighborhood Watch. They started by setting up a communication network to report suspicious activity. When a car was observed in the area with no perceived purpose, residents were ready. “Instantly, the community took action and there began an incredible collaboration by residents and SDPD that led to making an arrest of the burglar the night of March 9, 2016,” said Neighborhood Watch captain Kathleen Pihl. “Many La Jolla residents went to the police station the following day to identify the recovered stolen property. On July 5, the burglar was sentenced to 19 years, 8 months in state prison.”

Community-wide support

To further deter crime and supplement the Neighborhood Watch programs, some areas have contracted or are considering hiring private security. Most notably, Bird Rock residents met in June to consider contracting with a private security firm to work with police. The hope is by having the patrol car and uniformed footmen in view, criminals will go elsewhere. In the Barber Tract, a security guard was also hired to keep an eye on beach entrances and watch over houses during problematic times. To keep the broader community informed on area crime trends, whether or not they have a Neighborhood Watch program, the La Jolla Town Council has also offered to host quarterly Community Watch Forums at their meetings. They meet 5 p.m. second Thursdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The first forum is scheduled for Sept. 8, and La Jolla Light will report on that meeting in the Sept. 15 issue. The Town Council Community Watch Committee is looking to organize all the Neighborhood Watch Captains. Those interested can contact: neighborhoodwatch@barbertract.com

f you’ve been to Pannikin Coffee and Tea before noon over the last nine years, you’ve probably got your cup of Joe from Johnny Fraher. The North County native, who laughs that he has been fired three times from the 7467 Girard Ave. coffeehouse, is the manager. He boasts that he knows the name (and drink) of about 150 people he’ll see in the course of any given weekend.

How is it that you’ve been fired three times?

“When I first got hired here, it was as the baker, and I was in school and playing in a band at that time, so I was awake all the time and had a hard time making it here it at 4 in the morning. Two of the three times, I got fired was because I didn’t show up for work. Another time I was glazing scones and fell asleep standing up with a spoon in my hand. ... But the owners said I could come back as a barista so I didn’t have to report at 4 in the morning, and that worked out great.”

Intergenerational Collaboration Initiative

New program unites generations from Boomers to Z BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN ociety has mechanisms in place for those who want to adopt a child, but what about those who would like to have a grandparent-grandchild connection? UC San Diego and retirement community Casa de Mañana have joined forces to connect individuals of different generations. Senior UCSD student Karyn Speidel, 47, championed the initiative that began in April. “I’m an older student and I was taking a class on aging with a lot of older transfer students, and we started to realize that we didn’t know or feel connected with the senior population, so we thought of creating a program that fostered a multi-directional support mechanism,” she explained. Speidel, who graduated in June, holds a job that was created for her: UCSD’s Intergenerational Administrative Analyst. The program, called Intergenerational Collaboration Initiative, had about 20 participants last year, equally distributed between seniors and students. It consists of two branches — weekly walks that depart from Casa de Mañana and monthly roundtable discussions. Speidel said the roundtable discussions are her favorite. “We talk about the students’ aspirations and what their cultural experiences are, and the older people share the values they grew up with,” she said. “They work together to create innovative ways to approach complex problems in the world.” For Casa de Mañana life enrichment director Kelly Hillegeist, both branches of the project are equally important, and there is a place SEE GENERATIONS, B8

Go-Go’s end farewell tour with a rockin’ homecoming concert LET’S REVIEW

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DANIEL K. LEW With a signature blend of catchy pop hooks, California surf-rock guitar riffs, punk-attitude lyrics and girl-group harmonies, The Go-Go’s have made a lasting impression in the music world. Thirty-eight years after forming in 1978, the all-female pop/rock band bid adieu to the touring life with a homecoming and final concert on their “Going, Going, Gone: The Farewell Tour,” Aug. 30 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, before a packed and enthusiastic crowd. “We wanted to end it where we started — in Los Angeles,” Go-Go’s lead guitarist/keyboardist Charlotte Caffey said. Best known for timeless-and-infectious radio-friendly songs, like “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips are Sealed,” “Vacation” and “Head Over Heels,” The Go-Go’s have decided to stop touring, but said they are not opposed to performing one-off concerts in the future. The legendary band has already cemented their place in rock ‘n’ roll history as the first and only (even in 2016) all-female band to both write their own songs and play their own instruments on an album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart; which they accomplished with their 1981 debut album, “Beauty and the Beat.” For their “final” concert, they pranced on stage to Grand Funk’s 1973 rock anthem, “We’re an American Band,” playing in the background. Rhythm guitarist/vocalist Jane

Wiedlin, sporting neon-blue hair, chimed in with the lyrics: “Come on, dudes; let’s get it on!” And with that proclamation, drummer Gina Schock kicked off the beat as the band delved right into the smash summertime anthem, “Vacation,” the hit title song from their 1982 album. Near the beginning of the 19-song set — with about one-third of the songs from the “Beauty and the Beat” album, lead singer Belinda Carlisle said: “It’s the last night of our Farewell Tour,” which got collective yells of “No!” from the audience. “We’re going to be doing songs from past four decades; it’s scary but true.” While some would say the The Go-Go’s prime time was 1981-1984 when they released three albums before breaking up, followed by a long hiatus until reuniting in 1990, Carlisle’s breakout solo career in 1986 — with continued global success even through today as the face of The Go-Go’s — has helped keep the band’s memory and music alive; all the meanwhile The Go-Go’s have toured regularly since 1999 as well. The band’s farewell set also included a rockin’ version of Carlisle’s debut hit single, “Mad About You.” Die-hard Go-Go’s fans also appreciated the band playing several album tracks like “Insincere,” from the band’s last studio album, 2001’s “God Bless The Go-Go’s.” The song’s lyrics include the repeated phrase, “Have a nice life,” as a tongue-in-cheek castoff in ending a relationship, but the song had an added meaning as Carlisle waved SEE GO-GO’S, B22

Neo-noir epic to be partly filmed in La Jolla BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN When a retiring cop with a violent past finds a clue in his last case that could lead to his wife’s murder from 10 years before, he is presented with a choice: to go against the promise he made to his wife not to kill another man or to become a selfless hero for a city that has no hope for the future. Parts of this fictional screenplay, written by UTC resident Galen Thorne for his first feature-length movie, “Spirits & Thieves,” will be filmed locally. The movie will address timely concepts like gender, discrimination, police brutality and corruption. “I’m trying to tell a story of a place where everybody is allowed to carry a gun, and what problems come from that. My opinion is that we need more gun control, so I’m trying to assert that,” Thorne said. He said he majored in film at UCLA and recently earned a master’s degree from SDSU in “Film, Television and New Media.” In fact, the script of “Spirits & Thieves” is an adaptation of his master’s thesis. “It was a little bit elaborate, with a budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars, because that one took place in Greece, so I made it so I could direct and produce this

Josh George, Randy Davison, Galen Thorne, BJ Oriol, Priscilla Ventura and Lon Serra are some of the actors starring in the new movie. movie on a low budget,” Thorne explained, pointing out that he compensated by adding drama to each character’s motivation and situation, to develop the emotional side of the story. The story takes place in the Arizona desert, with some

interiors and flashbacks being filmed in La Jolla. The production starts locally on Sept. 11 with the shooting of some scenes on a private property on Avenida de la Costa. With a few short films under his belt and embarking on his most

ambitious project so far, Thorne said he recognizes that he has always been a storyteller. “It all started with the wonderful fantastical stories that my father told me as a child, and then my mother is a historian, so in all of my stories I try to honor the

history of a particular area, people or issue.” “Spirits & Thieves” will be framed according to neo-noir aesthetics. “The neo-noir genre was characterized by exaggerated masculine and feminine characters,” Thorne explained. This style takes its roots in the film noir dramas of the 1940s and ’50s where directors like Orson Wells and Billy Wilder presented American thrillers and detective films with a mood of pessimism and menace. The neo-noir movies reclaim that feeling, adding updated themes and a distinct visual style that features dark framing with a whimsical use of color. The film “Sin City” (Frank Rodriguez, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, 2005), is one of neo-noir’s best, and the movie’s parallel. Thorne said its directors have been great sources of inspiration to him, but his favorite director of old – and he showed no doubt when saying this – is Akira Kurosawa. “My favorite director of new is Alejandro Iñárritu, whose style is something I aspire toward, with the camera and things like ‘nature’ taking on the characteristics of a strong character on the film.” Thorne’s characters don’t fit the

Hollywood stereotypes of all-good versus all-bad people. “I think people tend to connect with the characters I write because they are not good nor bad, they are just people. You never know what’s going to happen with my films because I’m not following the Hollywood model.” The desert scenes of the story will be filmed in Bullhead City, Arizona. The town’s mayor granted Thorne the right to film for free, as long as the production doesn’t disrupt the city’s life. Thorne intends to overcome the challenges that filming in the desert poses by shooting in the fall and the spring, only at sunset and sunrise, when Galen the temperatures and Thorne light are most forgiving. The jewelry worn by characters in the film will also be custom made by Thorne, who is a Southwestern/Navajo-style silversmith, “just like my father,” he pointed out. But that’s not his only other profession, he’s currently employed as a fitness professional in La Jolla. He works at La Jolla’s Finest Training on Pearl Street.“I have more than 15 years of experience in the industry,” he said. The funding goal for the film is $100,000. To reach it, Thorne started a fundraising campaign online at bit.ly/2cEtuDs

Back-to-School Blues?

10 ways to avoid Dormant Butt Syndrome FROM CHAIR FREE PROJECT REPORTS he school months mean sitting hour upon hour each day in classrooms and then at desks while studying. All of this sitting can be dangerous to students’ health, said Kathleen Hale, founder of Chair Free Project, a health movement to get people standing, walking and moving instead of sitting in chairs. Hale offers these 10 tips for students to avoid hours of sitting that can lead to various health problems including “Dormant Butt Syndrome.” 1. Sit and Stand. Don’t stay sitting for too long. Prolonged sitting can have serious negative consequences on your health, regardless of your age or how much you exercise. In particular, college students can be at risk for developing life-threatening blood clots after hours of sitting and cramming for a test. To help remember to get out of your chair, clear a space on your dresser where you can place your laptop or textbooks. Stand up study at least every 45 minutes so you can get the blood flowing again. 2. There’s an App for That. If you need a reminder to get on your feet, there’s an app for that. Several actually. Check out Stand Up! or Stand App. These apps will remind you when you’ve been inactive for too long and some even reward you when you move! 3. Walk and Study. Flashcards have been shown to be one of the best ways to retain information. They’re also a great way to study while walking. Make some flashcards for a class where you need to do a lot of memorization. Then set out for a walk where you test yourself on the flashcards or invite a friend from class to

Staring down at your computer screen can be a literal pain the neck. Neck pain can lead to headaches and interfere with your productivity. One of the best ways to avoid neck strain is to make sure you are not craning your neck downward while looking at the computer screen. If you have a monitor, place it at eye level. If you use a laptop, get a riser for it or even a couple reams of paper to raise it up to eye level. 5. Shoulders Back. Look around the computer lab on campus and you’ll see most people sitting with shoulders slouched inward. Not only can this position lead to hunched posture, it also can physically drain your energy. To avoid it, roll your shoulders back and then shrug

Research shows that changing your physical surroundings can help you better remember what you are studying in those different environments. Use this evidence as an excuse to get up and move. Sit in the library to study at first. Then take a walk with a friend in class and quiz each other before an upcoming test. Find a tall counter in the dining room to do some reading. 7. Deep Breathing. Studying can be stressful and stress can make you sick. To help calm yourself when facing a big test, learn some deep breathing practices to help relax the body. 8. Move It. Move It.

you have been sitting in one place studying for a long time, you often need some spark to get going. Stand up, turn on some music and get moving. Jumping jacks, dancing or just jumping around can help to re-energize you. 9. Get Down. Outfit a dorm room or apartment with a comfy rug or big pillows. Spend some study time sitting on the floor. Floor sitting can help you open your hips, reduce back pain, and give you a chance to stretch your muscles. 10. Stand in Class. If you’re in an auditorium-size classroom, you might have the ability to stand quietly in the back of 300 other heads staring at the podium. It won’t draw any attention to you, and if it’s one of those three-hour long night classes, you’ll feel more energized and alert during class.

What’s your favorite thing about working here?

“There are so many interesting things that happen with people every day. You get to see people before they take on the rest of the world, and you get a vision into who they are when they are still half asleep versus when they are ready for the day. You get to know the soul of the person. And there are so many people who come here from all walks of life – homeless people up to millionaires. I think it’s so weird that this place is next door to a Maserati dealership. There is a weird juxtaposition. If there was a school for extra-terrestrials when they first inhabit human bodies that need to learn how to use them, they would come here to practice because you see the strangest things happen here. Sometimes that’s only explanation I can think of for some of the strange things that happen here. It’s gotta be aliens! They practice using language and socialization and how to use this new physical form. There is also extreme rudeness, like cutting in line. I see 45-year-olds try to cut in line and I think, ‘this is not middle school, you are an adult, you can’t act like that.’ That’s not going to work here, and I see people change their attitudes after coming here for a while. Plus, we have the coffee, you can’t have it unless you’re nice to us.”

When you are not here, what are you doing?

“I’ve been in a few bands over the years. I’m in a band now that used to be called Soul Critters, but we’re changing the name. I also like to garden. My girlfriend Natalie and I live in Clairemont and we have a big backyard. We had chickens, but we went out of town and while we were gone, an animal got to them, so now we don’t have chickens.”

What’s the secret to a perfect cup of coffee?

“Like anything in life, if you put your heart and good energy into it, it makes a big difference. If you think of things from start to finish — where the beans are sourced, the temperature of the water — you can see what a good cup of coffee is like. If you put positive energy into something, it gives it a notch up on anything else.”

conversation.” For Cannon, there are also challenges when giving advice to younger generations. “All the anxiety that students are experiencing in the early stages of their lives … we know they are going to be OK, because we’ve been through all that, and we know you land on your feet,” she said. “So sometimes it’s challenging to hold back and not say, ‘Oh you’re going to be OK,’ because they need to have their own experiences and we want to give them the space they need to find out who they are in their own journeys.” When asked what the younger students get out of the interactions, Hillegeist and Cannon said they often wondered the same thing, so La Jolla Light contacted 22-year-old student Genesis Hill, who participated in the first semester of the program, to get her input. She described the experience as a mentoring one. “Older generations are wiser than all of us. In the discussion and the walks, we have conversations, we tell our life stories, and I get to share mine, and people genuinely are curious about your life choices. … (I enjoy) learning from each person there, the older and younger generations coming together, trying to learn from each other what are the best decisions in life.” Hill said she will continue to participate in the intergenerational walks and roundtables next year. After the summer break, walks and roundtables will resume in October, mostly limited to Casa de Mañana residents and UCSD students and faculty. Those interested in participating, may contact Karyn Speidel at kspeidel@ucsd.edu or Kelly Hillegeist at khillegeist@frontporch.net or visit sustain.ucsd.edu/initiatives/ici.html

for everyone in it. “We have a resident who very much enjoys the walking group, but not the roundtable discussions. She loves being outdoors, she loves having someone right beside her, just giving her full attention. It’s interesting to get perspectives from both of these groups of participants who are doing this on a 100 percent voluntary basis. They come out here every week for the walking group, completely by choice.” Resident Irma Cannon said she most enjoys the contact with younger generations. “I find out that the generational perspectives are so different; they go into areas I never anticipated,” she said, adding that the program is not only diverse in ages but also in cultural origins. “Among our group there are people who grew up in Peru or Lebanon, and among the students there’s one from Hong Kong, one from the Middle East, a couple people who come from a Mexican background, a Brazilian … it’s wonderful.” But the conversations among different generations are not easy, Cannon pointed out. “During the first session we had, a number of the students talked very directly about how they did not want families, anyone to get in the way of what they wanted to accomplish, and that included relationships and partnerships. The older folks recognized that it’s one’s responsibility to society to help move things forward for others, and that piece seemed to be absent (in the younger generation). We suggested our next conversation be about the individual’s role in society, but the students decided they didn’t want to have that

San Diego Bayfest concert festival is ‘rescheduled’ The San Diego Bayfest music festival – the event that would be the inaugural concert produced by RTE Productions (which also hopes to produce a jazz festival at Scripps Park in La Jolla this winter) has been postponed. The event was scheduled for Sept. 16-18 in downtown San Diego, but it was announced Aug. 29 that the event is being rescheduled for another date next year. RTE event director David Payne told La Jolla Light, via e-mail, “San Diego Bayfest has been rescheduled and not canceled. We are assisting our customers with upgrading their existing tickets and issuing complimentary tickets that we have offered them as valued customers.” Payne, who recently branched off from his former promotion company, BTW Concerts, to form RTE, presented his idea for a jazz festival in La Jolla (which as yet has not been titled) to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association and La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory groups. Both voted to support the idea, some with more hesitation than others. At the Parks & Beaches presentations, several members expressed concerns over the fact the RTE had not produced any other concerts as its own entity, as well as stating concerns over the allegations of fraud against Payne. To some, San Diego Bayfest was going to be the litmus test. In light of the postponement, the La Jolla winter jazz festival will likely be heard again at a future La Jolla Parks & Beaches meeting and/or a La Jolla Village Merchants Association meeting.

Froglanders expands to include coffee and pastry service Under new management, Froglanders frozen yogurt shop is re-working its menu to become a “fro-yo café” like those popular on the East Coast. Shah Khosraviani, son of the Froglander owner Dinyar Khosraviani, said the change will bring coffee and coffee-based drinks using Bird Rock Coffee Roasters beans, pastries and other baked goods to accompany the frozen yogurt they serve. They will also be open at 6 a.m. now. “My main goal is to expand this business and expand the idea of a fro-yo café, which is not done in many places in San Diego,” he said. “I’m always looking for ways to differentiate the business, and we used to differentiate ourselves because we served the

Works by Jeff Mitchum line the walls of his namesake gallery.

The artist’s work includes this piece, titled ‘Essence.’

Photographer opens gallery at La Plaza La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN Encinitas native and landscape photographer Jeff Mitchum’s new gallery is the latest addition to the roster of La Plaza La Jolla shopping center tenants. In August, Mitchum opened a 2,724-square-foot self-titled gallery at the 7863 Girard Ave. plaza to exhibit fine art prints. He has other galleries in Las Vegas, and according to his website, “As a professional photographer, Jeff’s work has been sought by National Geographic and inducted on the walls of several fine art museums including the Smithsonian Institute, Getty Museum, and Museum of Natural History San Diego.” The artist said, “After my Las Vegas galleries opened, I

knew I needed to be very selective with my brand. San Diego is my hometown and I really wanted to showcase and raise the bar for fine art photography in my hometown.” When approached by La Plaza La Jolla management, he agreed La Jolla was the right spot. “We opened (a month) ago and so far people have been blown away,” he said. Of his medium, he said he appreciates the ability to capture what our eyes see in the glory of nature. “One of the things I really enjoy about photography is when there is this crazy light, sky, clouds or setting, I can preserve it,” he said. “Our mind is the first photographer before the

camera takes a picture.” In the high country mountains, specifically, he said there are amazing sunsets he enjoys capturing. “There is just something magical about the dance of nature,” he said. Replicating that sensation, Mitchum said he hopes gallery-goers walk through and view the images and “absorb” them like they would if they were seeing the real thing. At the La Plaza location, Mitchum said he would also roll out a program to work with budding photographers. Those interested can contact the gallery. Hours are 10 a.m to 8 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. ■ ON THE WEB: jeffmitchumgalleries.com

The cast of the boisterous comedy ‘The Cocktail Hour’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre.

AARON RUMLEY

Start a tab for laughs, it’s time for ‘The Cocktail Hour’ BY DIANA SAENGER Millions of people like to share a cocktail now and then. Fortunately, San Diegans can now partake in a special cocktail hour when the North Coast Repertory Theatre opens its 35th season with A.R. Gurney’s witty comedy of manners “The Cocktail Hour.” The play premiered in 1988 at The Old Globe Theatre, but director Rosina Reynolds believes it still resonates with the societal changes this long-established family goes through. “Gurney weaves the play together with witty observations and family dynamics, but without establishing a recognizable plot; and then that very point becomes the plot by the end of the play,” Reynolds said. The New Yorker praised Gurney’s “The Cocktail Hour” as “the best play he has done.” It is also considered his most personal play. The

focus is on a New England couple who is not only privileged, but has passed that baton onto their adult children. “When son John arrives for dinner at his parent’s home, he brings along a provocative tell-all script he has written about their family,” Reynolds said. “But the rest of the family does not like the idea. We are watching the remnants of the post-war years disappearing with the approach of the late ’70s, which is when the play is set, with the next generation moving forward.” One can imagine the laughs that come out of a cocktail hour with friends or family. Yet one reviewer mentioned this play needs actors with serious comedic chops. Reynolds said she’s very pleased with her cast: J. Michael Flynn, Chris Petschler, Cristina Soria and Shana Wride. “Obviously I wanted this to look like a real

family, which I believe I have accomplished,” she said. “Because the play is made up of comedy and drama, the cast had to be equally talented and able to deal with human frailties. The play’s structure is clever and the language is diligent.” The production team includes Marty Burnett (Scenic Design), Matthew Novotny (Lighting), Melanie Chen (Sound), Elisa Benzoni (Costumes), Andrea Gutierrez (Props) and Peter Herman (Wig & Hair). Aaron Rumley is the Stage

Manager. Reynolds sees the story as very relevant to families today, in how some children are not overly affectionate with their parents and unaware of their parents’ prime years, which are now fleeting. ■ IF YOU GO: “The Cocktail Hour” runs Sept. 7-Oct 2 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Things I learned on my summer vacation

s summer fades into September, I reflect fondly on the many gustatory lessons I’ve learned these past few months. So here’s a culinary tutorial on tips and trends to educate and entertain inquiring foodies. Something to Wine About: Wine connoisseurs are sour grapes over newfangled packaging that shakes up Old World traditions. Vintners are now replacing natural corks with either plastic or plant-based materials or screw caps, and bottles with cans, tetra boxes and bags. While corks are classic, screw tops are convenient, will not compromise the quality of the wine with “cork taint,” and are less costly. Once associated with only cheap wines, some better quality brands can now be found with screw tops. And while wine purists insist on bottles, alternatives like cans, boxes and bags are portable (ideal for picnics and poolsides), unbreakable, chill quickly, and since they are lighter than glass, have a smaller carbon footprint during shipping. I’ll drink to that! A Raw Deal: For years the mainstream nutritional school of thought promoted a diet of raw fruits and vegetables over cooked ones due to a higher fiber, vitamin, mineral

and enzyme content. Surprisingly, some are actually healthier when cooked by releasing or breaking down nutrients, making them more bio-available to the body. Cooking tomatoes makes the lycopene powerhouse more potent; carrots, whether steamed or roasted, have a more accessible store of beta-carotene for dialing up eye and bone health along with immunity; members of the mighty crucifer family, which includes broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and arugula, alas, when eaten raw have been found to block thyroid hormone production that can lead to hypothyroidism with weight gain and fatigue. Cooking reduces this negative effect, while still maintaining their anti-carcinogenic properties. Finally, leafy greens like Popeye’s favorite spinach, are better steamed or sautéed to temper the effects of oxalic acid, which can hamper the body’s ability to absorb calcium and iron. Cut–and-Dried: Shriveled, crystallized and dried snack foods of the past that conjure images of pioneer space travel (Tang), and hikes in the woods and mountain climbing (GORP or Good Old Raisins and Peanuts) have transformed into sophisticated, healthy dried morsels bursting

with sweet and savory flavors. Salmon, bison and turkey jerky, dehydrated mango slices, tangerine segments, goji berries, plantain coins, along with beet, taro and turnip chips are now popping up on menus of top chefs giving a splash of eye candy to various dishes, even desserts. Early Bird Specials: As part of the The Salk Institute’s Women and Science series was a summer event focused on Nutritional Genomics, where a trio of female scientists shared their recent research on health and well-being. Of particular interest were the findings of Dr. Amandine Chaix, who discovered that, in mice, when they eat meals is just as important to their health as what they eat. Dr. Chaix said if our body-feeding clocks are properly set, “it could improve metabolic fitness and protect against obesity, diabetes and metabolic disorders.” Your Cup of Tea: The Japanese have been drinking it for centuries as part of the ritual tea ceremonies. One cup of mighty matcha, which translates to “powdered tea,” is an anti-aging, samurai-healing warrior with more supercharged antioxidants called catechins than 10 cups of brewed green tea. Matcha’s potency can be attributed to the concentration of whole stone-ground green tea leaves that are actually consumed straight up in the beverage, compared to the watered down infusion of leaves in seeped tea. Also packed with the amino acid L-theanine, matcha was recognized by Zen Buddhist monks as a meditation tonic to create an oxymoronic state of calm alertness, that also dials up memory and

focus without the caffeine jitters. Today matcha appears in the repertoire of bakers and chefs, incorporating the rich, grassy green powder into everything from muffins, cookies, smoothies and gelatos to soups, salads, dips and stir-fries.

Custom Build for Luxury Your home is your castle, and for some people, that’s a more literal than ﬁgurative statement. People are back to reinvesting in property, and for those who want to build their life around their home, they want a castle that will stand the test of time. Which means it’s important to get it right the ﬁrst time. First, let’s go back to discuss the buy versus build question. When planning to own a luxury home (generally considered to be a home above the 1 million price range), you want to be certain of your investment. When buying a luxury home, you can either buy

a pre-owned home or something from the many posh community development projects popping up in increasing numbers throughout Southern California. Sometimes, however, developers get what they want, but homeowners don’t necessarily get what they want. Usually developers have a good sense of what buyers want in a luxury home, yet it’s not a perfect system; personal taste varies so widely that it would be impossible to satisfy every household, even when offering 3-5 models within a development. Homeowners have a right to be particular about their house, especially when investing a high amount. But making changes to an existing house here and there, cosmetic or structural, add up to a signiﬁcant increase beyond the purchase price. When buying a luxury home as part of a development, it’s smart investing to do your research. Make sure the developer has a clean record, and make sure you get a thorough assessment of the property by a trusted home

inspector who is certified, with plenty of experience, and who has a reputation for attention to detail. You want to avoid any surprises on your final walk through or— worse—a year into ownership of your new home that should have been caught during the inspection. The perks of custom building a luxury home The most obvious: you get what you want when you design it yourself. You can have your floor plan custom to your tastes and needs, and all of the materials are what you want and can afford. Some older luxury homes may not have been that luxurious to begin with, but property values and location—even size—may have increased its value over the years. When this happens, there’s a good chance that the work and the style are both dated. Or, homes may have been built with quality materials but that catered to a specific trend that has already aged-out. Even shag carpet was once considered luxurious. Here is a brief checklist to consider

when building your luxury home: 1. As with any real estate but especially with a luxury home, choose the best location, whether it’s tucked up in rolling hills or in the middle of an urban center. What is in the area? In one example from Los Angeles, there was a home going for 1.2 million that was located two doors down from a soup kitchen. If a mixed-income urban idea is what you’re going for, that’s ﬁne, but if you have concerns about resale value and heavy foot trafﬁc, you may want to rethink that choice. The soup kitchen isn’t going anywhere. Are there plans to update? Is the neighborhood a little rough around the edges but heading for major redevelopment, either with new housing or industry? These factors can skyrocket property values. But decide whether you prefer a busy, modern urban environment or something more secluded and quiet.

FROM GO-GO’S, B3 good-bye to the audience when singing those words. The Go-Go’s also delved into their roots, as the band was part of the emerging 1970s Los Angeles punk-rock scene before developing into a pop/rock group. “Holy moly! I can’t believe it’s really been 38 years! And it all started a few miles from here in Hollywood,” Wiedlin said. “1978. Go-Go’s. Punk rock. Not kidding; We really were punk rock and to prove it, we would like to do a couple songs we used to do in the ’70s, and we would like to dedicate it to all you old punk rockers out there!” They performed hard-driving guitars and fast drum beats on “Screaming” and “Fun with Ropes,” which Wiedlin described as “a little composition about bondage.” Throughout the show, band members reminisced. Lead guitarist/keyboardist Charlotte Caffey remarked: “I wish I could count the times I looked to my left and there they were — my girls — and very bad ass!” Other highlights included two “Cool” songs: They performed the 1980s New Wave hit “Cool Places,” originally recorded by the band Sparks with Wieldlin, but transformed into a concert duet between Wiedlin and Carlisle — with both of them dancing and criss-crossing the stage. For The Go-Go’s audience-participation song — an upbeat cover of the Capitols’ 1960s hit “Cool Jerk” — Carlisle choose a dozen lucky fans to go on stage for their

last chance to dance alongside the band — turning the performance into a dance party (which this writer was lucky to be picked to join the stage party!) The regular portion of the set ended with extended jam sessions as the band performed a double-whammy of their biggest hits: “Our Lips are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat.” The first encore began with what may be an odd choice for a cover song — Miley Cyrus’ gargantuan hit, “Wrecking Ball” — but The Go-Go’s turned the rockin’ tune into a haunting, acoustic power ballad that showcased Carlisle’s strong vocals — and how much she has evolved into a songstress; followed by the upbeat “Get Up and Go.” After coming back on stage for the second encore and final tune, Wieldlin declared: “Last tour, last show, last song. Thank you for 38 years of support” — and then Caffey started jamming on the keyboards to start “Head Over Heels,” with its appropriate lyrics for the finale: “Been running so long, I’ve nearly lost all track of time, in every direction ...” Decades before female pop stars adopted a “girl power” mantra and long before the existence of the all-female Lilith Fair music festival, The Go-Go’s were trailer blazers, even if they didn’t realize it at the time. Though they have decided to stop touring, the musical prowess of the band members — now in their late 50s and early 60s — displayed at their farewell concert show they still have the beat — and this is hopefully only a farewell for now.
