BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Improved enforcement. A “three strikes” rule. An overall ban on whole-house rentals. These were some of the suggestions that came forward (some repeatedly) during the standing-room-only town hall meeting on short-term vacation

rentals at La Jolla Community Center, Aug. 30. District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry has drafted a Short-Term Occupancy and Home-Sharing Ordinance, and she hosted the town hall to collect community feedback. Over the course of an hour of public testimony, residents from up and down the San Diego coastline shared short-rental horror stories, including descriptions of wild

parties, night-long noise and feeling insecure about having new neighbors every weekend. Conversely, those who use online platforms such as AirBnB.com VRBO.com and HomeAway.com shared how renting their houses has helped pay for mortgages, college tuition for loved ones, and allowed them to continue to live in San Diego, despite rising rents. On AirBnB for the week of Sept. 8-16,

there were 128 whole house rentals available in La Jolla (as of Sept. 5). Bry’s draft ordinance would allow for home-sharing (renting an area of one’s property) if the owner is on-site. “This includes a room in your house or a granny flat if you are in the main house or if you are in the granny flat and they are in the main house,” Bry told the crowd.

Remove the Wrack?

Parks & Beaches hears pros/cons of seaweed cleanup BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON To rake or not to rake? That is the question. La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) board chair Ann Dynes “kicked a hornet’s nest” when she introduced the notion of cleaning up wrack (seaweed that has washed ashore) on La Jolla’s beaches. The idea was brought up between monthly meetings via a chain of e-mails, and debated at the LJP&B meeting Aug. 28. Discussion included the pros and cons of removing the wrack, and disagreements between the City and LJP&B board members when it comes to historical practices and policies. To investigate the situation and possible courses of action, a working group was formed to report findings at a future LJP&B meeting. SEE SEAWEED CLEANUP, A8

Now Open: Coast Blvd. stairs rebuilt after nearly two-year closure BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Just in time for Labor Day, the beach access stairs located between 100-202 Coast Blvd. were rebuilt and opened to the public. The access-way has been closed since early 2016, after a winter storm blew the stairs apart. The stairs lead to a beach known as The Horseshoe, which is frequented by nearby

residents, beachgoers and lifeguards alike. The La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group has been monitoring and advocating for the reinstatement since March 2016. Roadblocks that delayed the reconstruction included finding project funding, and deciding whether the project would be built from scratch (which would require the

addition of ADA-access and take years to complete) or whether it would be classified as a “replacement,” which would not require the additional features. In June 2016, the City declared the lack of access an “emergency,” and said the stairs would be treated as such in getting them replaced. But a few months later, City

engineers discovered a cavity in the seawall and announced they would work with the homeowners association of the adjoining building to get it evaluated. After some feet-dragging, the City built the stairs independent of the seawall, working right up until Friday, Sept. 1 to get the stairs secure for holiday beach-goers.

District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry introduces her draft ordinance on short-term vacation rentals before fielding comments at La Jolla Community Center. FROM VACATION RENTALS, A1 the ordinance defines “short-term occupancy” as “any rented or leased residence for any time period of less than 30 days”; imposes a 90-day annual maximum on short-term rentals (which some have equated to 45 weekends in a 52-week year); and requires renters to apply for a permit, pay a fee and inform their neighbors that their property is available for short-term rentals. The seven-page draft ordinance can be found at sandiego.gov/citycouncil/cd1 under “News.”

No mini hotels

“What my draft ordinance prohibits is investors buying single-family homes in residential neighborhoods and turning them into de facto mini-hotels,” Bry said.

Overflow seating (and standing) extended to the La Jolla Community Center patio and back hallways. Before Bry takes her draft ordinance to City Council in October, she said she wanted to collect feedback for changes, suggestions and recommendations. A repeated community concern was the lack of enforcement of current noise ordinances and illegal behavior, and whether adding even more regulations would complicate enforcement.

Enforcing the rules

La Jollan Craig Thompson reported there is a renter near his house on a weekly basis. “There are parties every weekend. You call the police, nobody shows up. You call Code Enforcement, nobody shows up. We need to stop whole house rentals,” he said. Added La Jollan Catharine Douglass, “The San Diego Police Department is at critical staffing levels and cannot respond to

infractions. Taxpayer dollars should not cover enforcement for irresponsible homeowners making money off their homes that do not manage them properly.” Another speaker called the addition of a 90-day maximum “an enforcement nightmare.” “Enforcement is a big issue,” Bry acknowledged. “I believe the Mayor is waiting for the City Council to reach a consensus on (short-term vacation rental regulations) and then we can push him to enforce them. My draft ordinance includes a $100 annual (enforcement) fee, and then we’ll see what it costs to enforce, in terms of how the fee gets set for later years. The fee is for anyone who rents their house or a room in their house,” she said. Tom Coat, president of the anti-short-term vacation rental organization Save San Diego

PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

Neighborhoods, argued that the solution includes, but goes beyond, enforcement. “We’d love to have the laws enforced, but at the least, let us work to bring about three protections on which I believe we can all support: 1) The protection of homeowners living in their homes to legally earn income by home-sharing; 2) the protection for neighbors to have the City quickly end any abuses that may arise; and 3) the protection of residential neighborhoods to remain residential neighborhoods. “Think about this last protection. San Diego has been in a housing crisis for 15 years, there are many causes, but converting houses into investor-owned mini-hotels … undoubtedly worsens this crisis.”

Tom Coat, president of Save San Diego Neighborhoods, speaks about the importance of preserving communities. holding signs, those who rent their houses — either in part or entirety — spoke about the economic benefits to themselves and the La Jolla business climate. Julie Richardson said eliminating whole house rentals would “hit a lot of people who depend on this income,” and that she used the money generated from her short-term rentals to put her son through medical school. Others commented on the wave of visitors that stay in houses because they don’t want to “have an $18 cocktail at a hotel,” but shop at La Jolla businesses and eat at La Jolla restaurants. Other who rent their houses insisted they are responsible people who thoroughly vet their tenants and charge an additional fee if these tenants do not behave, and further, they leave their phone numbers with neighbors in the event there is a loud party

Opponents of short-term vacation rentals arrive with signs. or illegal behavior. Hoping to strike a balance, those opposed to short-term rentals advocated for a three-strike system if renters do not screen their guests (yielding inappropriate or disruptive behaviors) or if loud parties are repeatedly reported at one house. After three strikes, that homeowner’s ability to rent their house would be revoked.

Short-term history

A short-term rental draft ordinance was last heard in December 2015, spearheaded by District 2 City Council member Lorie Zapf. When heard at the San Diego Planning Commission that month, a six-hour public testimony period included various concerns about the language of the ordinance. Planners determined the draft needed to be majorly rewritten before they could support the contents.

A truck in front of La Jolla Community Center greets attendees with a quote from City Attorney Mara Elliott, who recently opined that short-term vacation rentals are not permitted in San Diego. In November 2016, when Bry was on the City Council campaign trail, she promised to draft a short-term vacation rental ordinance that could garner community and City support. As part of her effort, she requested San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott issue a legal opinion. On March 15, 2017, Elliott determined the City Municipal Code doesn’t allow short-term vacation rentals in single-family residential zones. “The City has a ‘permissive zoning ordinance,’ ” her opinion reads, “This means that any use that is not listed in the City’s zoning ordinance is prohibited. Short-term rentals are not specifically defined, expressly permitted, or listed in any of the zone use categories, including residential or commercial.”

Next steps

The most recent ordinance is supposed to

go before the City Council in October, tentatively Oct. 23, but Bry noted the importance of compromise and communication in the meantime. “This has been a two-year battle with no consensus,” she said. “The political reality is that there are nine members of the City Council, I am only one vote. I am working very closely with Council member Zapf, but we need three more votes (for this to pass). I ask for your help … talk to the other City Council members. I’m going to need your help to get the Council to agree to a meaningful compromise.” ■ Reach City Council members at sandiego.gov/citycouncil ■ Reach Barbara Bry at (619) 236-6611 or barbarabry@sandiego.gov ■ Reach the draft ordinance at sandiego.gov/citycouncil/cd1 under “News”

FROM SEAWEED CLEANUP, A1

Let’s rake!

The argument for the wrack removal is that some consider it unsightly, pungent and overly abundant. Further, there are surrounding San Diego beaches that are (reportedly) regularly wrack raked, and others that are not. La Jolla Shores has its wrack removed, but areas such as WindanSea and Children’s Pool do not. “I like the idea of raking the beaches that people use ... the (wrack) leads to awful flies and the smell is terrible. If people are using the beaches, I think it should be picked up,” opined trustee Melinda Merryweather.

Let’s not rake!

Those opposed to the wrack removal, including LJP&B trustee Jane Reldan, cite the biological significance of the beach seaweed for area insects and birds. To state her point, Reldan read a “Beach Wrack Biological Significance” document posted at a Santa Barbara beach: “Beaches change shape constantly because of changing swell and tide conditions. Plants cannot grow on the unstable surfaces of the intertidal beaches. The most important food source for animals of the upper beach comes from kelp forests offshore. Kelp washed onto the beach is called wrack. Many kinds of invertebrate animals eat wrack and provide an important food source for dozens of shore birds species that inhabit Santa Barbara beaches. Beach wrack is important to animals and plants that live on beaches.”

Rules & Regulations

Based on its biological significance, it is against California Coastal Commission regulations for volunteer groups to remove beach wrack. As such, the City will not permit organized groups to clear the wrack away. In an e-mail to LJP&B members, City of San Diego Park & Recreation Department assistant director Andy Field said, “While we can help to organize volunteer beach cleanups through our volunteer office, we can only authorize removal of trash and litter, not naturally occurring protected features such as the kelp wrack. Throughout the year, I Love a Clean

San Diego and other nonprofits conduct beach cleanups from time to time, and we can certainly facilitate a volunteer cleanup at WindanSea if desired.” Dissatisfied, LJP&B member Ken Hunrichs said there is a disagreement between longtime La Jollans and the City in terms of whether the City has raked the wrack. “We Ann Dynes run into a problem because places like Children’s Pool were historically cleaned, but the City has repeatedly claimed that it wasn’t,” he said at the meeting. In an e-mail response to Fields’ comments, Hunrichs wrote, “I would like to see La Jolla Parks & Beaches work to reshape City and California Coastal Commission policies to allow for beach cleaning of all our recreational beaches. Leave the piles of rotting seaweed for the flies on the unused, inaccessible beaches.” The working group could report as soon as the next meeting, 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

In other LJP&B news:

■ Challenged Athletes Triathlon: The 24th annual Challenged Athletes triathlon challenge, which brings together hundreds of challenged and able-bodied athletes for a 10-mile run, 44-mile bike ride and one-mile swim, got unanimous LJP&B support. The event will be Oct. 22 at Scripps Park. Last year, the swim portion had to be moved to La Jolla Shores due to water quality concerns at The Cove. Representing the event, Kristine Entwistle said the fundraiser would like to return to The Cove — bacteria levels permitting. “We are watching water quality diligently,” she said. “Our plan is to have the swim at The Cove because it’s an important part of our event and makes it come together. The Cove makes the day what it needs to be.”

She said if bacteria levels at The Cove are above healthy standards, the organization would either cancel the swim part or move it to The Shores. Learn more at challengedathletes.org ■ New picnic tables: As part of the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project, new picnic tables/benches could be installed by mid-October. Project organizer Dynes reported, “The tables have been ordered, and the current ones are beyond ugly, so this is a minor victory for us. I didn’t get input as to what they are going to be (such as rebar and concrete, which is what the current, cracked benches are made of) or how much they cost, the City just put in the order and will have staff install them.” Plans for the Whale View Point project would improve the safety and aesthetic of the third-mile stretch between 200 Coast Blvd. and the cobblestone wall known as the People’s Wall and Climbing Wall. The most recent achievement was the installation of an ADA-compliant and contiguous sidewalk along Coast Boulevard. ■ Princess Street: LJP&B also voted to support the Environmental Center of San Diego (ECSD) in its efforts to re-open beach access at Princess Street, which has been closed for more than 40 years. ECSD board member Pam Heatherington made a presentation at the June meeting, and returned for a vote of endorsement and a funding jumpstart. Having met with the land surveyor who can assess the conditions for a beach-access route, Heartherington said, “Once we have the funds, we’re ready to schedule the survey and start the design.” She previously told the Light the design would be “something simple and in synch with nature,” and could include stairs, rails, ropes or other safety features. Once the survey is complete, the ECSD would decide on a firm to design the trail. The survey costs between $1,000 and $2,000, so LJP&B voted to contribute $1,000 to the effort (which would be reimbursed by Friends of WindanSea, a supporter of the opening). — LJP&B next meets 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

Fall opening set for Monarch Cottage senior center in The Village BY JEANNE RAWDIN The Village of La Jolla is about to become home to a special senior living community called Monarch Cottage. The complex is being built adjacent to the new Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center at 7630 Fay Ave., which formerly housed the Chopra Center and a cosmetic surgery office. Operated by Monarch Senior Living LLC, owned by John and Frank Haffner, Monarch Cottage is expected to open next month. To bring awareness of the October opening, Monarch Cottage sponsored a workshop called “Walking in Your Parents’ Shoes” Aug. 29 at the La Jolla Community Center to highlight ways seniors can “reverse” the aging process. (See the story on page B1.) The 26-unit facility will focus on providing service to residents with memory impairments such as Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive issues, as well as providing assisted living services, respite care and/or hospice. A private suite costs $12,495 a month and a companion suite costs $8,495 a month. Additional charges are added for increased care. Described as a “boutique residential community,” Monarch Cottage also offers personalized cognitive enrichment activities to residents. “Our mantra is that every resident has a sense of purpose every single day of the week,” said Sam Baum, director of business development. “That’s what’s missing in a lot of senior residences — whether it’s memory care or assisted living or whatever — that sense of purpose.”

Monarch Cottage at 7630 Fay Ave. is expected to open next month. Monarch Cottage will also offer residents monthly accommodations that include daily housekeeping and laundry, three daily meals, and chauffeured and general transportation. Staff plans on providing a host of programs, including reminiscence therapy, art therapy, pet therapy and aroma therapy.

Baum explained that a “person-centered living” approach involves not only the senior, but also the family, friends, medical professionals and other influencers in a person’s life. Active participation, based on the resident’s history, will be encouraged. By way of example, Baum said, “We want our residents to teach classes or hold clubs. We

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Potato chip-loving sea gull busted

Sept. 8. jeffmitchumgalleries.com

First-graders invited to join Cub Scout pack

Last week, local photographer Sharon Hinckley said she witnessed a thief in action at Vons grocery store on Girard Avenue. “Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get a photo of the actual robbery, however, I caught this cunning sea gull opening a potato chip bag and helping himself to an afternoon snack. He flew up onto the roof of the store by the time I got my hands on my camera!”

School days cut short due to heatwave All five of La Jolla’s public schools had shortened days last week in light of the heat wave as part of San Diego Unified School District’s “hot weather” plans for operations during periods of extremely hot weather. Students at La Jolla High, Muirlands Middle, La Jolla Elementary, Bird Rock Elementary and Torrey Pines Elementary were all sent home early. According to the District, minimum days would be called at schools that cannot provide air conditioned learning spaces for all children when the forecasted temperature is 95 degrees or higher with a heat index of 103 degrees or higher.

Apparently, this character robs Vons’ outside chip rack with great regularity. Based Zoning for Coastal Development draft document would be discussed at the Sept. 7 La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, organizers have since announced the presentation would take place at a later date. The regulations are in response to the increase in large, boxy houses being built on small lots. The draft document proposes a point system to allow developers to obtain a Coastal Development Permit if they integrate features recommended in the La Jolla Community Plan. A full presentation will be given at a date to be announced.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Panhandler seen with Jewelry store robbed The Turquoise Lady jewelry store was kids on La Jolla median burglarized around 4:28 a.m. Wednesday,

A recent nextdoor.com posting documented a panhandler on the median of Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Parkway with three children in tow. The posting includes photos and a video of the man asking for money with a sign reading “Smile You’re Friendly,” and one of the children holding a heart-shaped sign that said “Love.” The reporter said she tried contacting police, but the man and children quickly left. If such an incident is spotted again, the San Diego County Child Welfare Services can be reached at (858) 694-5191 or K(858) 560-2191.

La Jollan concerned about possible caser A La Jolla Shores resident wants to get the word out about a man who seemed to be casing his property around 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1. In a Facebook post, the resident reports a man he did not know was recorded on his property via security cameras: “(The intruder) cautiously walks onto our property looking around to see if anyone sees him ... and then walks up triggering our security lights, which don’t faze him. He then continues behind our trees. Seemed to me that he knew where he was going.” The video stream recorded for about three minutes before the homeowner went outside to investigate, but the trespasser had left.

Aug. 30, when unknown suspect(s) removed the plexi-glass window fronting the 1262 Prospect St. business. Police report the suspect(s) took an unknown amount of valuables from the business and fled the scene. No one is in custody at this time.

‘Apple support’ phone scam hits at least three in La Jolla Shores Heights At least three people in the La Jolla Shores Heights area have been targeted with a phone scam claiming to be from Apple technologies support. One resident, who requested anonymity, said the scammers were able to steal $383 from her within five minutes of the phone call. The first incident took place a few weeks ago, when the victim received a phone call reportedly from “Apple Support” (the name that showed up on Caller ID) and since then, has received five phone calls from “Apple, Inc.” which all claimed there was an issue with her Apple products that needed to be resolved right away. The victim reports: “They said they could see I had a problem with an Apple device, but that they could fix it over the phone. They told me to log onto my computer, which I did, and then said there was an issue, but they could send a technician right away. But then, they said I needed to send three gift

cards and told me the stores I could get them from, and they said I had to do it within half an hour. I called my grandson and he told me to unplug my computer right away. I did, but within three minutes of the phone call, they got access to my Costco account and the credit card associated with it.” She said in speaking with neighbors, two others reported experiencing the same interaction. One was scammed of money, the other was aware of the scam and did not engage. Apple technologies offers tips and a point of contact in the event an organization calls claiming to be them. In a Scam support page, Apple states: “Scammers spoof phone numbers and use flattery and threats to pressure you into giving them information, money, and even iTunes gift cards. Always verify the caller’s identify before you provide any personal information. If you get an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Apple, hang up and contact us directly at support.apple.com/contact”

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL

City contractors leave project unfinished

he issue I raise is both a safety hazard and an ugliness situation that was left behind by contractors hired by the City of San Diego. At the intersection of Gravilla Street and Draper Avenue (on the east side of Draper adjacent to Starkey Mini Park), contractors installed new sewer lines throughout that section of the community more than six months ago. They excavated portions of the sidewalk buffer strip, and I was told they would be filling it back in. However, this never happened and now there is a large hole about 12 feet long and 4 inches deep that is a definite trip-and-stumble hazard. Photo 1 clearly shows the current status and Photo 2 shows what it

should look like. Who ever the City contractor was, that company is in neglect of completing the job. It just simply isn’t right that the community is left with this unsafe eyesore after a municipal “improvement” project! Joseph McGoldrick ■ Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators. E-mail the scenarios and attach a photo, or call us and we’ll investigate who or what is Tarnishing Our Jewel! Reach Editor Susan DeMaggio at (858) 875-5950 or e-mail: editor@lajollalight.com (and include a related photo, if possible).

Photo 1: This hole filled with rocks, cement, debris and weeds at Gravilla Street and Draper Avenue was left behind by City contractors installing new sewer lines.

Photo 2: A sturdy patch of sod should have been planted inside the precarious hole left behind by City contractors working on the new sewer lines.

Welcome to La Jolla Shores! I’ll bet visitors from all over the world were really impressed with our ‘beautiful’ La Jolla Shores beach this Labor Day weekend. They had to walk through this scene to get down there. Is there a good reason why this mess can’t be cleaned up? It’s been there all weekend. What an embarrassment! Margo Palmer

Remember, La Jolla Murals are an evolving public art project I’m writing about the request from a recent letter-writer to remove specific murals of the La Jolla Murals collection due to them being “disturbing.” As it turns out, with one exception that I’ve heard of, the murals are installed with the intent that they will be up for a couple of years and then be replaced with new ones. So, in fact, the murals identified by the writer will come down eventually when their lifespan has ended. My husband and I are supporters of the murals project and are familiar with its history and management. The Murals Art Advisory Committee is made up of experts from various visual art institutions within our community. With their backgrounds and connections in the contemporary art industry they have been able to reach out to some of the most respected artists of our day to have them participate in the murals project. As it goes with art, any one individual is going to like some works and not like others. But the important thing to know about these murals is that the artists have been well vetted and are nationally, if not internationally, recognized top tier artists. In fact, Mark Bradford, one mural artist, is currently representing the United States at the Venice Biennale. The writer of the letter requesting the removal of certain installations was concerned about the impression tourists will have of La Jolla as a result of seeing the murals. Cultural tourists that come to our lovely Village will undoubtedly be familiar with some of these artist’s names and will appreciate this outdoor art collection. Will they, or the local residents, like all of them? Maybe not. But how many times will they go to a museum and like everything they see there? When we have out of town guests we make a point of showing them the La Jolla murals and so far, they all think they’re awesome. By the way, if you go to the Murals of La Jolla website at muralsoflajolla.com, you’ll see you can sign-up for a walking tour to see and learn about them. Maryanne Pfister

‘Three strikes and you’re out!’ rule would solve short-term rental issues I attended the Aug. 30 forum at the La Jolla Community Center where Barbara Bry presented her proposed solution to the regulation of Short-Term Vacation Rentals (STVR). It was a bit frustrating, but understandable, as the vast majority of speakers didn’t really address the proposal on the table, but rather their personal stories with regards to the

Another La Jolla ‘gem’? I thought you might want to add this “beauty” to the collection of stained trash can photographs you displayed in last week’s La Jolla Light. As unattractive as they were, at least they had four sides! If you’re into dented and open garbage cans, three-sided trash cans and filthy streets, this one can be viewed by the First Citizen’s Bank on the corner of Pearl Street and Fay Avenue. Nancy Shields

impact of STVR. We can all agree we want the bad actors in the STVR market gone, including those who participate as hosts in the home-sharing community. While Bry’s proposal attempts to control the length of time, the amount of days, the creation of another bureaucracy to “police” the hosts, how does that stop the weekend parties? The parking issues? In other words, the bad actors? A far better proposal would be a “three strikes and you’re out!” rule. You have three documentable, legitimate infractions within a six-month period, you’re done. There are no more permits available to you, and if the infractions continue, the homeowner should be fined a considerable sum, or the home condemned. This way we all win. The good stewards of the community who participate in home-sharing as hosts can continue to supplement their incomes. The City will continue to reap the benefit of much-needed tax revenue. Our State and Federal governments continue to receive income tax dollars as well. Our community, too, receives much-needed tourist dollars from those who dine, shop and play while staying in La Jolla. The majority, in my experience don’t even take up valuable parking, as they bike, uber or walk to The Village and beaches. And most importantly, residents will have their much-deserved serenity. Quality hosts bring quality people into our community. People who actually add value in economic terms as well as cultural richness, and lifelong friendships. Linda Van Zandt

SDG&E jack-hammering upsets sleepy neighbors I have a complaint regarding SDG&E’s work last week on Bonair Street. First, on Monday at 6 p.m., I noticed an SDG&E truck outside my apartment (near the alley by Travel Lodge). I thought nothing of it until 9 p.m. when workers started using a jack hammer. I am a school counselor and wake up daily at 5 a.m., so you can assume I was very upset about this. When I called the company, I got a rude man on the phone who had no supervisor or manager with whom to connect me. He said he didn’t know why they were doing work. After going down to talk to the men doing the

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) work, it was disclosed that there was a gas leak. Understanding a gas leak is a serious emergency I put on my headphones and went to bed. My fiancé said they were jack-hammering until around midnight. The next night, there was nothing, however, Wednesday at 9 p.m. again comes the jack-hammering. Me, along with at least 10 people from the neighborhood, went outside to investigate. Workers claimed it was an “emergency” again, and one neighbor insisted on them calling the supervisor. The supervisor confirmed it was an emergency. They were outside doing work (with a jack hammer) until 4:15 a.m. I have videos marking the time. Why were we not notified? If it was a gas leak, why was this not fixed that night or that day? Why are they fixing this AGAIN two days later? Why were they sitting around from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday? Why can’t they do this work during the day? Our community is very upset by this, and I am even more upset by the response I got from SDG&E. We live in La Jolla because it is a safe, quiet neighborhood, and this is not safe nor quiet. Please publish something about this, as SDG&E needs to know how upset residents are over this incident. I will be following up with the supervisor again today. Amanda Iseppon

Beware of proposed ‘mansionization’ implications Our community should be diligently following a small but well-connected group of La Jolla residents who have formed a new community group called the “Citizens for Responsible Coastal Development” (CRCD). Our community has heard their mantra before: “Mc Mansions,” “mansionization,” “increased bulk & scale,” “out of character with neighborhood” and “reduction in air space/green space.” CRCD was formed in 2015 as an ad-hoc committee of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), but due to their inability to comply with Brown Act regulations they dissociated and CRCD was formed. Both groups nevertheless, remain resolute to abolish the community’s most affordable and favorite residential remodel approval process the “50 percent coastal exception rule” and replace it with their own “incentive-based zoning” approval process. Presently, if a homeowner files for a residential remodel, using the affordable and preferred 50 percent coastal exception rule, and maintains 50 percent of their existing exterior walls, the applicant preserves their right to remodel their home to the current .6 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The homeowner, furthermore, avoids the lengthy, expensive and subjective LJCPA review process. If the applicant does not maintain 50 percent of their existing exterior walls, the applicant is required to file for a more expensive and time-consuming Coastal Development Permit. CRCD’s “incentive-based zoning” application process would essentially reduce the homeowner’s FAR from .6 to .4 in La Jolla and Bird Rock. In La Jolla Shores, where there currently is no FAR restriction, CRCD’s incentive-based zoning would now apply. The homeowner would then have to conform to CRCD’s list of design incentives to earn back their right to build their home to the current .6 FAR. Or the applicant could choose to not incorporate CRCD’s design incentives and process their application through the time- consuming and expensive Coastal Development Permit process. CRCD’s next step is to present their incentive-based zoning proposal to their former parent group the LJCPA. The LJCPA is recognized by the City Council to make land-use recommendations to the City Council, Planning Commission, and City staff specifically concerning the adoption of amendments to our La Jolla and La Jolla Shores Community Plans. CRCD’s incentive-based plan will first work itself through City staff, then be presented to the City of San Diego Planning Commission, and finally to City Council. As reported in the May 10, 2017 La Jolla Light, the CRCD

Rachel Clemesha members have already meet with Barbara Bry and she has offered her support to their cause. The approval of CRCD’s incentive-based plan, however, is a land-use decision and is considered quasi-judicial, therefore, Bry should have not taken a position for or against CRCD’s plan. Since she has, will she now recuse herself from voting at City Council on this issue? Past actions of some of the CRCD members reveals this is a classic La Jolla battle between the “have and the have nots.” Incentive-based zoning, not in my backyard! Bob Whitney

It’s in everyone’s interest to protect ocean views In reference to the article in the Aug. 24 La Jolla Light on the Dolphin Place project, it’s interesting that Phil Merten’s objections, allegedly “representing a growing number of residents who took exception to the project design,” noted the space and bulk of the proposed project. Perhaps Mr. Merten has had a revelation in the last few years. About four years ago, he recommended the approval of a proposed 28,000-square-foot residence (subsequently reduced to 19,000-square-feet) in the 9800 block in the La Jolla Farms neighborhood. That home, if it would have been built, would have totally blocked ocean views from a legally established viewpoint, clearly contrary to City of San Diego regulations. The recommendations to approve that project were objected to (in writing) by 75 of the 84 La Jolla Farms residents who would have been impacted by that development. Nevertheless, the proposed project was ultimately approved by the La Jolla Planning Commission, and subsequently, by the City of San Diego. Fortunately, the property was sold prior to construction and a beautiful park on the property was established by the new owner. The result has been no degradation of the ocean views, not only for the benefit of the neighborhood, but for all residents and visitors to San Diego. Thanks, Mr. Merten. You’re helping to make America great again. Michael Bruser

This photograph was taken from my 19th floor window on Coast Boulevard. My concern is the people selling T-shirts, etc. on a daily basis. Years ago, they said they used the proceeds for the seals. Now where does the money go? Do they pay a permit fee to be there seven days a week or does the money go in their pockets? I’m also concerned because they have totally ruined the grass, which is now no more than patches of dirt. Couldn’t these folks move to the sidewalk or somewhere else on the street? I hope La Jolla is getting some money from their sales. Who is keeping track of this? It would be nice to have grass back in the empty spots on this beautiful area. Cheryl Hintzen-Gaines

La Jolla Cove sea lions are good for business Why hasn’t La Jolla’s stench problem been fixed? Just follow the money! If the stench-producers are drawing more tourist dollars than La Jolla businesses would have without them, then why would the businesses want to remove them? Pete Ward

Schools should offer more ‘Meatless Mondays’ More than 31 million children rely on school meals for their daily nutrition, which too often consists of highly processed food laden with saturated fat. Not surprisingly, one-third of our children have become overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. To compound the problem, the Trump administration has loosened Obama’s 2010 school lunch rules calling for whole grains, fat-free milk and reduced salt content. The rules had an 86-percent approval rating. Fortunately, many school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools, including the entire districts of Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. As parents, we need to involve our own children and school cafeteria managers in promoting plant-based foods in our schools. Entering “vegan options in schools” in a search engine provides lots of useful resources. Sheldon Daniels

Vikings Topple Torreys

La Jolla High beats La Jolla Country Day 29-21 PREP FOOTBALL BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The first cross-town rivalry of the 2017 La Jolla football season went to the La Jolla High School Vikings Sept. 1, when they defeated the La Jolla Country Day School

Torreys 29-21 at Country Day. There was heavy reliance on tackling from both sides with players being taken down at the knees, and lots of gripping and clawing at uniforms. With interceptions galore, possession switched sides throughout each quarter. Defense was also strong on both sides,

preventing longer runs for more yardage. The game opened with the Vikings in possession, and they inched their way up the field, down by down, before scoring the first touchdown with 6:50 left in the first quarter with Quarterback Trevor Scully throwing to full-back Zachary Garcia. Contrarily, when the Torreys received for their first

possession, they were able to run the ball nearly half way to end zone. But the Vikings intercepted the ball with five-and-a-half minutes left in the first quarter. It was intercepted right back by the Torreys about a minute later. With two-and-a-half minutes on the clock, the Vikings intercepted once again.

Viking Zachary Garcia (No. 24) maneuvers the Torreys defense.

A Viking fights through a Torrey tackle.

Without making to the end zone, the quarter ended 7-0 Vikings. When the Torreys had their first possession in the second quarter, they used more far throws than shorter passes, but were held scoreless until the two-minute-12-second mark in the second quarter, when wide receiver Sola Hope scored a touchdown for the Torreys. In that time, however (and in the span of less than two minutes), the Vikings intercepted the ball, and the Torreys intercepted right back. When the Vikings resumed offense following the Torrey touchdown, they too

the end zone. Rather than go for the seventh point kick, the Vikings attempted a two-point conversion, but was unsuccessful. The third quarter ended 20-14. Opening the fourth quarter more aggressively, the Vikings scored a two-point safety within the first 10 seconds of the fourth quarter and a throw into the end zone for a touchdown two minutes later. But the Torreys fought to the very end, scoring another touchdown in the fourth quarter with about 2 minutes left. But when all was said and done, the so-called Battle for the Jewel City was won by the Vikings.

attempted more long throws to get toward the end zone. With 13 seconds left in the second quarter, the Vikings were successful and scored an additional touchdown. At halftime, it was 14-7 Vikings. The third quarter opened slowly, with no scoring activity until the seven-minute-45-second mark, when the Torreys wide receiver Anthony Bland narrowly scored a touchdown — reaching with the ball into the end zone. With four-and-a-half minutes left in the third quarter Vikings wide receiver Michael Wells ran for couple dozen yards clear unto

Just Keep Moving!

Workshop reveals effects of aging and how to reverse them BY JEANNE RAWDIN t’s a fact of life: We must all face the effects of aging, just as our parents did. But to make the process a bit easier, “Walking in Your Parents’ Shoes: An Interactive Workshop” was held Aug. 29 at the La Jolla Community Center to give participants a chance to feel the effects of aging firsthand — and to provide a hopeful look at reversing them. The workshop was sponsored by Monarch Cottage, a senior living community being built at 7630 Fay Ave., and its partner, Reneu Health. The event featured various “stations” where participants could use weighted balls, rubber bands and weights to experience what happens to the body as it grows older. “We’re here tonight to show you what it might feel like if you were in a situation with ailments commonly associated with aging,” began Roya Corpuz, Reneu’s education director and vice-president. Reneu Health is comprised of kinesthesiologists who specialize in movement and prescribe exercise to make positive changes to the body. Corpuz went on to explain that most ailments associated with aging are really caused by inactivity. “Kinesiology is the science of how your body moves in general,” she said. “Most people we see have complaints that are due to inactivity, rather than the effects of aging.” Corpuz pointed out that as we age, we enter

That leads to muscle deterioration and loss of strength. “But that doesn’t have to be the case,” she

went on to say. “We are, in some ways, in charge of aging, and we can change its course. What it takes to break the cycle is exercise. We decline quickly, but you can also turn it around quickly.” SEE AGING, B6

THE CERUTTI MASTODON SITE

Was San Diego occupied by humans 130,000 years ago?

The way the animal bones were found could indicate human-use years before scientists believe humans were on the scene.

BY WILL BOWEN An archaeological site of potentially monumental significance and international importance has been unearthed in Chula Vista along the Sweetwater River and Highway 54, just to the east of the 805 interchange. If what the researchers from the San Diego Natural History Museum (SDNHM), who excavated the site, say about it holds up to scientific scrutiny, this site will transform our view of the evolution and migration of mankind out of Africa and across Asia to the Americas and drastically alter our time-frame for the peopling of the New World. The Cerutti Mastodon Site was discovered by Richard Cerutti, who was working for the SDNHM as a construction monitor in 1992 to 1993 when CalTrans was building Highway 54. Cerutti, who seems to have a nose for fossils, also discovered an extinct species of porpoise in downtown San Diego, which was later named after him. At the Sweetwater site, he happened to notice some fossilized bones and rocks arranged in a very unusual pattern. Construction work was halted immediately so he SEE ARCHAEOLOGY, B16

t’s comforting to know that after I’m gone, I’ll live on through Post-it notes. Truly, I think Uber and yellow sticky notes are the greatest innovations of modern times. I’m not sure what I did without either. Self-adhesive Post-it notes in assorted sizes have been around for a while now. According to Wikipedia, the source for all things accurate, in 1968, a scientist at 3M, while attempting to develop a strong adhesive, inadvertently created a re-usable pressure-sensitive glue. It was almost another decade before they found an application for this “solution without a problem.” A story, which sounds suspiciously apocryphal, alleges that one of the scientist’s colleagues discovered that the adhesive helped him to anchor his bookmark in his hymnal. Post-it notes are now produced in multiple sizes and colors, different strengths of adhesion for non-smooth surfaces, and even with lines on them. We purists, however, only use yellow. Personally, I’m only willing to try to keep so much information in my head at once. This is why my computer monitor is ringed with sticky notes reminding me of all manner of info such as shortcuts I use during word processing, passwords I use frequently but

There is no machine in our home not adorned with sticky notes advising me of its operational requirements. I had learned from each of them. If Post-it notes are to be my legacy, I think it would only be appropriate that when I die, the assorted assemblage should be issued with pads of sticky notes on which they could write farewell messages and stick them to my coffin. This could be in lieu of flowers. It would be especially appropriate since yellow is my favorite color. The messages could run the gamut of, “I’m sorry I never returned your blender!” Or: “I hope those chocolates won’t melt where you’re going, ha ha!” Or even: “Inga, you really should have had that checked.” But somewhere in the program, there should be an important announcement: Given Inga’s demise, short your 3M stock. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Meet La Jolla High administrative assistant Rita McGee-Bastani BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series shines a spotlight on notable locals we all wish we knew more about! Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar, friendly faces to bring you their stories. If you know someone you’d like us to profile, send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call us at (858) 875-5950. f you’ve called the administrative offices at La Jolla High School any time in the last five years, you’ve likely been met with a sweet voice saying “La Jolla High School, this is Rita. How can I help you?” And the problem-solving Rita McGee-Bastani truly means that she wants to help. In her role, she daily fields calls from the San Diego Unified School District, parents, and other La Jolla High teachers and staff, seeking to find solutions to their queries right away.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles. I’m the seventh of 10 children, and we all went to Catholic School, K-12. So when it came to all of us going to college, we all tried to work and pay for as much of it as we could.

ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

Rita McGee-Bastani, La Jolla High School administrative assistant

Nine siblings! How many nieces and nephews do you have? I don’t even know. I think it’s in the low-40s.

What did you study in college?

I have a degree that is not common: Interior Architectural Design. Am I using it now? No. I’m not a decorator, but I wanted to design space. I had a lot of different ideas for coordinating space, making it more efficient, form following function. That’s just what I liked and when you’re young, you go with what you love. There were a lot of jobs, but they were mostly decorating jobs. So I mostly did furniture sales.

How did you go from decorating to school administration?

I have three (grown) children and was super involved in their activities when they were growing up. I worked for an architect at that time and only worked 30 hours a week so I could be home when they got out of school. Once they graduated from high school and went to college, I found myself wondering what to do with my time and energy. I missed the involvement in children’s activities. I had a friend who encouraged me to work at the (San Diego Unified School) District, and I eventually applied for a job. I did a lot of similar things for the architect I worked for as you would as an administrative assistant, so it was an easy fit. The first principal I worked for (at Pacific Beach Middle School) didn’t like numbers and I’m a numbers person, so she was quick to hire me. Plus, with my own kids and nine siblings, managing and being around a lot of kids wasn’t an issue for me.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 - PAGE B5

What kinds of activities did you do with your children?

I was the mom that took all the kids surfing or to sports. We moved to San Diego in 1983, so two of my kids were born here. My son loves surfing, so I would get up at 5 a.m. and take him and his friends to the beach before school. My son is still a surfer. My daughters also surf, but they are not as addicted to it as he is. I could tell when he hadn’t been surfing for a few weeks based on his demeanor.

What do you like most about your job?

How much I do is a double-edged sword. I’m always busy, which is good because I don’t like boredom. I’m not good with idle time. Here, I am so busy all day. I like that, but it’s exhausting. I’m doing three people’s jobs because there just enough staff to do what is expected of us. But my favorite thing is helping these kids to calm down. Freshman come in so

doe-eyed and nervous, I like to let them know everything is going to be OK. I’m a problem solver, so I like solving problems for teachers, staff, parents and students. I answer phones and fill-in for the receptionist, field the principal’s calls and slim them down so only the ones that are necessary go to him. Getting up at 5 a.m. is not my favorite part.

What do you do when school’s not in session?

It’s all about family. But my problem is, I like to spend time with my husband, but he works retail, so when I’m off for the holidays, he is at his busiest. I have three kids and two grandkids, so I try to spend time with them. My husband is from Iran, so we go there sometimes on vacations. It’s a wonderful country and we have such a good time with his family. There was a time my daughter worked in Switzerland, so we spent some time in Europe. We love to travel. Plus, being one of 10 kids, there is always someone

to visit. My mom is still hanging on at age 92, so I visit her, too. My vacations almost always involve visiting someone.

some Farsi to me and that’s fun. Those who don’t know me are surprised when I bust out the Farsi and greet them.

Do you enjoy Persian food?

What do you do to relax?

Are you kidding? Have you had Persian food? It’s amazing! When the kids were growing up, we had Persian food every Sunday. My husband was never in the kitchen growing up, but when he came to the United States as a student, he lived with other Iranians and they needed to either learn how to cook or eat fast food all the time. They would share family recipes and I learned from him, my sister-in-law, or when we would go out, I’d try something and say, ‘I need to learn how to make this.’

Do you speak Farsi?

I’m nowhere near fluent, but I’m conversational. I write like a kindergartener, but I can still write it. When we go to Iran, I can piece things together. We’ve been married 38 years. But students who know me will speak

Nothing, like I said, I do not like boredom. Just kidding. I’m a movie fanatic. I love movies. My favorites right now are “Leap Year” and “About Time.” My favorites change all the time. I have probably 800 movies. I have VHS tapes, which take up so much space, and DVDs. I have all the Disney movies, all the “Harry Potter” movies, all the “Twilight (Saga)” movies. People make fun of me for that, but I still like them. The acting is so horrible in the first one, but it got better. I read the “Twilight” books and had to see how it was as a movie. I read the books, and then I watch the movies. And of course, I have all the “Back to the Future” movies. That is one series where the first, second and third movies are all good. I love these movies. That’s my thing.

Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one.

Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock.

FROM AGING, B1

Stand up straight!

She demonstrated that posture is usually the first to go. Using a rubber ball raised directly above her head, she exemplified good posture and spine alignment. Then she demonstrated what happens when the body compensates for weak muscles and inactivity by holding the ball at a 45-degree angle. “The body then leans forward and hunches over, causing strain on the back. This leads to decreased strength and mobility, and eventually an impaired gait, or feet shuffling, which brings with it an increased risk of falling,” she concluded. To bring the point home, participants were given a weighted ball, some weights and rubber bands to use to simulate the cycle of decline. Holding the ball or weights out in front of them, they experienced how their head fell forward, and their back felt strained. Next, they tied the rubber bands around their ankles to see what it feels like to lose one’s walking stride from less muscle and bone density. Their shoulders became rounded and their step height became difficult. PHOTOS BY JEANNE RAWDIN

Keep moving

“Getting old is not for wimps,” commented attendee Allison Bechill. “But the great message tonight is what you can do to reverse things. You think so often, ‘this is just what happens. This is just my body breaking down and it’s something I have to live with.’ But having proactive things you can do — not only for your mental health but for your physical health — that’s a great takeaway.”

Allison Bechill and Patricia Benish feel poor posture strain. Patricia Benish, who heads 7Memories, a company that helps seniors write books to turn their recollections into memoirs, said she found the experience to be eye-opening. “I came tonight to educate myself on these issues because I work with populations who are getting older. And while we do emphasize memory and memory loss, we also talk about movement and how

important it is to the brain. Just like we have brain generation, we can generate our muscles and all of that to get better posture and better movement.” Benish said she had a renewed sense of motivation for her older “authors” after the workshop. “Tonight, we talked a lot about movement in terms of gait and strength and posture. After tonight, I’m going to go out

and buy a rubber band and some light weights. I really need to do that.” About 40 people attended the event, and most left with a strong sense of what it takes to reverse the aging process. The message was simple: Stand up straight, stay active, exercise, and keep using the muscles that build the bones — even when it might hurt a little.

Katie Karel, Phil Johnson, Sandy Campbell and Noelle Marion in ‘Last Of The Red Hot Lovers’ at the North Coast Repertory Theatre.

North Coast Rep revives ‘Last Of The Red Hot Lovers’ BY DIANA SAENGER merican playwright Neil Simon once said he enjoyed watching the early comedians like Charlie Chaplin. After high school and a short stint in the Army Air Force Reserve, he began writing comedy scripts for radio and early television shows. His first play was “Come Blow Your Horn” in 1961. Since then, he has received more combined Oscar and Tony nominations than any other writer. Simon’s “Last Of The Red Hot Lovers,” which premiered in 1969, is now playing at The North Coast Repertory Theatre, whose staff claims nobody does Neil Simon like they do. Christopher Williams directs, and the cast includes Phil Johnson (Barney Cashman), Katie Karel (Elaine), Noelle Marion (Bobbi) and Sandy Campbell (Jeanette). “Barney Cashman is a bored middle-aged, overworked man with no experience in covert maneuvers,” Johnson said. “That’s because he’s dating three different women besides his wife. His bungled attempts at seduction leave audiences howling with laughter, and for me, working with three absolutely beautiful — and really talented — actresses is grand.” Johnson is part owner of the New Theatre troupe The Roustabouts, and said this play reminds him of another Simon delight, “London Suite.” “It’s three separate plays in one act, and it’s a ball to have three different situations and work with women who are really quick and good,” he said. “For me, being a writer, actor and a director, it’s a gift in understanding storytelling. “I tend to take a play apart and look

at it from the structure. What was Simon’s progress during the play, because he definitely has to go through changes to get to the end, and it changes with each of the women. “What I like about Neil Simon, and I’ve done about three of his plays, is he has a real way of making wonderful sense of real emotion and drama in a play.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Last Of The Red Hot Lovers” is on stage through Oct 1 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

N’awlins Seafood Gumbo

Sassy soulful comfort foods in the Big Easy

fter traipsing through New Orleans for five sweltering days, my stomach’s been asking my brain and mouth, “Y’all know what’s happenin’ down here?” It’s gorging on southern Louisiana delights, that’s what! Sampling a cuisine that blends Creole (itself a mix of French, Italian, Irish, Haitian and South African culinary influences), zippy Cajun (Acadian/French Canadian roots), soul food and seafood, with a mother lode of sugar and spice, and long grain white rice. I’d like to take you on a journey of gustatory excess of southern hospitality and heartburn, and I’ll atone for all of that with a healthier version. Before the ground gets so hot that you can practically char oysters on it, head out for a sweet or savory traditional breakfast. Fresh handmade beignets are as much a part of the New Orleans cuisine as croissants are to France, and cannolis are to Italy. These airy deep-fried dough squares generously dusted with powdered sugar melt in your mouth and recite a poem at the same time. Beignets pair well with café au lait, a concoction blending coffee with boiled milk and roasted chicory, a herbaceous root that adds a deep chocolate essence to the cup of joe, along with an immune boosting oomph, digestive aid to put the skids on heartburn (thank goodness), and dose of liver detox. For those whose taste buds crave salt and spice in the morning, then an andouille

sausage omelette with a side of southern grits (creamy ground corn meal) or Cajun hash browns will serve up a lively petit dejeuner. While breakfast offers the most delicate and refined dishes, lunch and dinner fare, on the other hand, can be wild, bayou swamp-inspired, and somewhat primordial running the gamut from grilled alligator tail harpooned on a stick (reminiscent of chicken with a jaw work-out) to deep-fried crawfish Po’boys, a rustic sandwich on a French loaf dressed with Creole sauce, lettuce and tomato. Those Louisiana crustaceans that resemble miniature lobsters are belovedly nicknamed “mudbugs” by locals; quite divine despite the moniker. In fact, any Po’boy (or Poor boy so named since this gargantuan sandwich can practically feed a whole family) whether filled with fried catfish, shrimp or oysters, harmoniously blends textures and flavors like a jazz quartet. Oysterphiles can also enjoy the bivalve shucked and eaten raw with a tangy cocktail sauce, or charred on an open flame smothered in a Parmesan crust, accompanied by warm garlic butter. Even with triple-digit temps, no one can resist a steamy bowl of gumbo with either a seafood or chicken and sausage base, laced with Cajun spices, and topped with a dollop of long grain rice. A close culinary cousin, Jambalaya, much like a southern-style Paella, is a spicy rice, sausage and seafood mélange that leaves mouth-watering

■ You’ll need: 1/2 cup vegetable oil (olive, sunflower, your choice); 4 tablespoons unbleached four; 1 large onion, diced; 1 green pepper, diced; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 4 garlic cloves, minced; 1 cup okra (fresh or frozen), chopped; 4 cups chicken or seafood broth; 2 cups chopped or strained tomatoes; 2 pounds large, wild-caught shrimp, peeled; 1 pound lump crabmeat; 1 pound firm white fish (halibut, cod, your choice), bite-size chunks; 1 bay leaf; ½ teaspoon each oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, black pepper; 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce; sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste ■ Method: In saucepan on medium heat, add flour and half the oil, and stir until a light brown roux is formed. Set aside. In large skillet or soup pot, add remaining oil and sauté vegetables until tender. Add broth, tomatoes, herbs, spices and roux. Simmer covered for 1 hour. Add fish and seafood, and cook for about 15 minutes until shrimp is pink, and fish cooked through. Ladle into bowls with a dollop of long grain white or brown rice, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serves 6-8. memories. When it comes to desserts, NOLA is the home of decadent praline (a butter, brown sugar and pecan confection), and flamboyant Bananas Foster. The latter was created by the owner of the New Orleans’ eatery, Brennan’s, when bananas were an abundant South American import in the

early 1950s. The tropical fruit was sautéed in butter, brown sugar, dark rum and banana liqueur, and then set ablaze in a flambé preparation, and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The restaurateur named the dessert after his friend (Chairman of the New Orleans Crime Commission) Richard Foster.

and his staff from the museum could excavate. “I just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” Cerutti modestly stated. Dr. Tom Demere, the head of palentological services at the SDNHM (and who swims from La Jolla Cove to the Marine Room four times a week), contacted the National Geographic Society for an emergency grant to fund the work, which lasted about five months. CalTrans let the work proceed because it did not seriously impact the road building, only holding up construction of a storm drain and a fence. What the researchers found were the fossilized bones and teeth of a single young male mastodon (Mammut americanum), a huge animal that was the precursor to our modern elephant. Nearby, but not in direct association, they also found the bones of a wolf, camel, ground sloth and horse. But what was so highly unusual about the location of the mastodon bones was the way they were arranged and the way they were broken up. One of the mastodon’s tusks was sticking straight up like it had been placed as a site marker, and the two balls of the mastodon’s femurs were laid out right next to each other. In addition, the large femur bones displayed spiral fracturing, which occurs when bones are broken by stone tools. The stone tools (large cobble stones, weighing up to 30 pounds) were mixed in with the bones and totally out of place in the sandy soil, which had been slowly deposited over the centuries by the Sweetwater River. The cobblestones were subjected to microscopic analysis by Australian researcher Richard Fulagar and found to have use-wear marks on them, like the kind they might get from a human using them as a tool. A close examination of the mastodon bones indicated they had been broken by impacts, which left the spiral fracturing patterns. This meant they were broken while they were fresh, possibly by someone pounding on them with a rock hammerstone as they rested on a flat rock anvil. Similar spiral fracturing has been observed in modern day simulation

studies by archaeologists using hammerstones and anvils on the bones of naturally deceased elephants in Africa. Archaeologist think Early Man did not necessarily hunt and kill large animals like the mastodon, but rather snuck up to ones that died from natural causes or were killed by other animals, in order to pound their bones and break them open to extract the marrow for food. It’s also thought Man broke the bones up into smaller pieces that could be fashioned into bone tools, like knives and awls. Demere said he looks at this site like it was, “an Ice Age crime scene.” He says the site was most likely, “a Pleistocene ‘Home Depot,’ where Early Man went to gather raw materials to take home so they could fashion bone tools. The upright tusk was probably erected as a marker to help them find the site again. Although the Cerutti Site was originally excavated in 1992, it was only this year that the results of the analysis of the findings were published in the prestigious journal Nature. “Over the years some people who knew about the site called us at the Museum and accused us of concealing the findings,” Demere said. “But actually we were waiting for better, more accurate dating methods to be developed to give us a precise date for the site.”

A date of 130,000 years makes the Cerutti humans more than 10 times older than the accepted dates for human habitation in the Americas! Since the most recent proposition is that Modern Man (Homo sapiens sapiens) did not arise until 40,000 years ago, the Cerutti humans would have had to have been Neanderthal, late Homo erectus, archaic Homo sapiens, or Denisovans — much more primitive than the Native Americans Father Serra and the Spanish soldiers encountered in 1769. These early people must have crossed the Bering Straight land bridge round 130,000 years ago during a short window in an interglacial period when it was passable. Or they may have paddled down along the coast in small boats, along what is known as “The Kelp Highway.”

The naysayers

The publication of the results of the Cerutti excavation in Nature has generated intense scientific scrutiny. Comments have ranged the full gamut from approval to condemnation. Dr. Todd Braje, who studies the early habitation of the Channel Islands and teaches archeology at San Diego State University, teamed up with nine other archaeologists, including noted California expert Jon Erlandson, to discount The date that could change things the findings of the SDNHM, which they published in the Finally, the mastodon bones were dated by James B.

Gary Haynes, who teaches at the University of Nevada at Reno, also submitted a critical response in Paleoamerica. Haynes said the impact of the heavy earth-moving equipment of the Caltrans crews was probably responsible for all the modifications on the artifacts. Demere and Cerutti responded to this criticism by noting that construction vehicles were never over the site and the backhoe that uncovered the artifacts only impacted a small corner of the site before it was halted by monitors.

Support from France

A team of French archaeologists — Eric Boeda, Christope Griggo and Christelle Lahaye — gave the work a positive review. Demere explained, “People in Europe are much more open to the possibility of early dates for Early Man in America than we are.” The French archaeologists cautioned people to, “Guard themselves during this period of scientific upheaval to give priority to just those facts which alone have heuristic value.” Demere, who has worked at SDNHM for the past 38 years, isn’t worried about the criticism. “This is a scientific debate and we welcome objective and meaningful criticism,” he said. “But people need to consider all the evidence and not just focus on one or two aspects.” Demere said the plan is to reopen and expand the site to look for further evidence, like easily recognizable worked stone or bone tools that would prove their case conclusively. In the meantime, there’s a nice exhibit on the Cerutti Site located on the second floor of the SDNHM in Balboa Park. It includes photographs, actual artifacts, and an explanatory video.

Girl Scout launches project to teach snake safety to hikers BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Far from a snake in the grass, on Sept. 1, Girl Scout Zena Traganza of La Jolla-based Troop 3171, submitted an environmental project for Gold Award consideration. The Gold Award is the highest achievement in Girl Scouting and recognizes those who complete projects that have sustainable impact in their communities and beyond. For 17-year-old Zena, who lives near University City, her passion project was to create an Environmental Resource Center at the Dos Picos County Park in Ramona to teach campers about native snakes and how to safely share San Diego’s hiking trails with them. In addition to presentations over the last few months to campers and visitors, Zena donated snakes and enclosures to the park’s Visitors Center, and outlined an informational lecture so rangers could continue the educational outreach. “People who live in the city or the suburbs might not see snakes much and so they don’t know a lot about them,” she said. “A common misconception is that they are all dangerous or bite unprovoked. Most of the time, when a snake bites a person, it’s because the person didn’t give the snake enough space. “I often camp at Dos Picos County Park, and they do some educational programs there; they have animal skins and a few other items for show and tell, but they don’t have a lot of animals to show the kids — and there are a lot of kids who camp there because it’s a Scouting destination. People from all over Southern California go there.” In concert with local rangers, Zena created a service project for the betterment of

campers and snakes alike. She started by conducting the presentations herself. She brought out live snakes and informed people about what to do if they see one, how to tell which ones are venomous, and she explained how valuable snakes are to the Southern California ecosystem. “If you see a snake in the wild, just leave it alone,” she advised. “That’s the best thing for you and for them. Give it five feet of clearance. If you spot one, it’s likely just

crossing a trail or sunning itself to thermo-regulate or rest. A lot of people find snakes when they are sleeping or otherwise vulnerable. A snake is just as scared of us as we are of them — if not more so.” Zena said people often have the “fear factor” and assume a snake is dangerous and try to kill it or do something to scare it away. “The only venomous snakes we have native to Southern California are rattlesnakes and besides their tell-tale rattle, they have a

prominent protruding jawline or ‘cheeks.’ They have a defined facial shape and larger head. Some will rattle when they are startled, but not all. Some have black-and-white stripes on the tail just before the rattle,” Zena explained. Non-venomous snakes have a smaller head and more streamlined body shape. “If you are ever unsure of whether a snake is venomous, leave it alone and don’t go anywhere near it. If it’s venomous and you see one near your home and you have small children or animals that might be in danger, remove them from the area and report the snake to the local wildlife center and they will remove it.” Additionally, she said in the course of her lectures in Ramona, “I introduce (visitors) to an entirely new aspect of snakes, and that is that people should respect them as wildlife. They are import as a keystone species (ones that drastically affect their environment), because they control the rodent population that could overpower the environment if not kept in check. Most of the time, people see a snake in their yard and just kill it, not knowing how important it is to the local ecosystem.” With a binder full of surveys showing how her presentations reached hundreds of young people, Zena submitted her project to the Girl Scouts for Gold Award consideration. She finds out in a few weeks whether her project was approved. In the spring, there will be a ceremony to honor those who achieved the Gold Award. Zena, a recent high school graduate, is now attending UC Davis. She has not declared a major, but is leaning toward conservation biology.

Residents speak with engineer Alexander Lukes (in yellow vest) on Aug. 30 about traffic problems near Torrey Pines Road at Hidden Valley Road.

Traffic on La Jolla Parkway where it becomes Torrey Pines Road builds up at a red light.

Residents bend City’s ear on Torrey Pines Road traffic

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Residents who live on feeder streets to the ever-congested Torrey Pines Road/La Jolla Parkway are growing more and more frustrated with the traffic resulting from the area thoroughfare. In particular, those near the intersection of Hidden Valley Road at Torrey Pines Road shared their concerns at an Aug. 30 gathering. And while they don’t have

an expertly crafted solution to the problem, they invited someone who might. In attendance was City traffic engineer Alexander Lukes, who was asked to come see first-hand some of the issues troubling residents. “There is so much traffic gridlocked on Torrey Pines Road that motorists are using residential streets as a side route. Some streets, including mine, do not have sidewalks and

wind around, so you can’t see what’s coming up the road. People are driving 40 and 50 miles per hour,” said meeting organizer Karen Marshall. Additional problems stem from a short-duration left-turn signal onto Torrey Pines Road coupled with the people turning onto Hidden Valley Road, who run the red light and block the left turn lane. “There has got to be a solution to the lights,” Marshall insisted. “How many cars they let through, etc. if you are turning left onto Torrey Pines Road from Hidden Valley, you can get maybe two cars — if the driver is paying attention.” (Reporter’s note: When leaving the meeting, La Jolla Light made that turn onto Torrey Pines Road and was the second car in line. The turn signal was yellow before this reporter could clear the intersection.) Others added that when a car runs the red light coming onto Hidden Valley, it blocks the left turn lane coming onto Torrey Pines Road. With the adaptive signal timing rotation, it could be three minutes or more before the light is green again. “The adaptive signal timing has made the situation worse for those that live here,” said resident Daria Polson. Among her ideas, Polson said she would like to see the lanes re-drawn to better

accommodate changes in traffic patterns. She said she called City Council member Barbara Bry’s office and former City Council member Sherri Lightner before her. Public safety advocate Catharine Douglass, who lives near the intersection of Torrey Pines Road and Ivanhoe Avenue where a car recently crashed into a house, witnessed an ambulance getting stuck in traffic. “The perpetual gridlock emanating from the two traffic signals on Torrey Pines in ‘the throat’ is causing a parking lot effect daily that extends way up Torrey Pines past East Ivanhoe for hours at a time,” she noticed. “This gridlock is severely impeding the response time of emergency personnel going in both directions on Torrey Pines. “The two lanes of vehicles caught in the gridlock situation are not able to move to the curb to let the emergency vehicles pass. Emergency vehicles are caught in this gridlock compromising the safety of our citizens. The City needs to find a solution to the current number of vehicles traveling on Torrey Pines.” Reporter’s note: It took La Jolla Light 16 minutes to travel the 1.9 miles from our offices on Pearl Street to the meeting at Hidden Valley Road at Torrey Pines Road. En route, four cars ran a red light and at one point, this reporter was completely stopped for three minutes.
