BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The preliminary hearing set for Friday morning, Sept. 15 in San Diego Superior Court to discuss the case “The People versus Cindy Greatrex,” in which La Jolla resident Cindy Greatrex is accused of stealing more than $67,000 from La Jolla Recreation Center funds, was postponed to Nov. 14. At the court house, Greatrex’s attorney Paul Neuharth requested a continuance based on having received new evidence from the opposition earlier that morning. Greatrex is accused of making out company checks from La Jolla Park and Recreation, Inc. payable to Cindy Greatrex herself or cash, and cashing them into her personal accounts. According to court documents, the total loss was $67,935.86. Greatrex claims the funds were used to reimburse herself for purchasing grant-writing fees that she paid “over a long period of time” on behalf of the Rec Center in her role as chair of the La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board. Chandelle Konstanzer, representing the People, said she filed a subpoena for the PayPal account that was used to pay for the grant-writing and also investigated one of the grant-writing firms contracted, and received the results from those investigations just that morning. The new evidence contains more than 70 pages of resulting data and was submitted for review. As such, the two parties agreed to reconvene in November to conduct the preliminary hearing. According to findlaw.com, a preliminary hearing provides a judge the opportunity to determine whether there is enough evidence to force the defendant to stand trial.
COREY LEVITAN
Hilary Nemchik presents Council member Barbara Bry’s proposal.
BY COREY LEVITAN More than 50 audience members jammed the La Jolla Town Council meeting on Sept. 14 to hear a proposed City ordinance that would place limitations on short-term La Jolla rentals. They did not like what they heard. The proposal, from District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry’s office, would allow only resident owners to rent their homes for fewer than 30 days at a time, and would limit the
number of short-term rental days to 90 per year. It’s a compromise between La Jolla homeowners with opposing interests — those who want the right to sublet their houses for extra income in the summer and those who want to prevent La Jolla from becoming the next Pacific Beach. Speaking on behalf of Bry, communications director Hilary Nemchik said the goal of the ordinance is “to make sure that we
GREG NOONAN
do have affordable accommodations for San Diego’s visitors — we know our tourist industry is a thriving part of our economy — but also to protect the integrity and character of the residential communities.” But the Rec Center audience — double the average monthly meeting size — fell squarely on one side of the issue.

Merchants unveil new website, condemn growing homeless problem
BY COREY LEVITAN The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) unveiled a flashy redesign of its website, lajollabythesea.com, at its monthly board meeting, Sept. 13 at the Riford Library. Featuring a video-rich home page and a new, orange “La Jolla” logo, the redo was a co-production of Kristin Barret of Evertype Brand Design, who supervised the branding, and web designer Jake Craigmile. Barret said they saw the website as a way to “change the tide, not only of how we see La Jolla, but the perception from outside — and can we work on that a little bit to be a better representation of what we know, as residents and business owners, really happens in this great place?” Also at the meeting, the association addressed a sensitive yet growing Village problem it doesn’t want appearing on any website. “Although the homeless situation in La Jolla may be vastly different from what you see in the Gaslamp, it’s vastly different from what we’ve experienced before,” said LJVMA president James Niebling, “so it’s a huge impact on the community.

liquor-license delay. “It looks like around November,” said the owner-chef, who received a round of applause from association members for purchasing the former Roppongi sushi building at 875 Prospect St., which sat vacant since October 2015. — La Jolla Merchants Association next meets, 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11 at La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. lajollabythesea.com

Help After the Hurricanes
La Jolla students raise funds, collect toys to send South
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON La Jolla students from (at least) two schools have opened their hearts and collected goods for those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. At Muirlands Middle School, spearheaded by Aiden Afshar, the Associated Student Body gathered toys, board games and books. “I saw on the news that the hurricanes had happened and how bad it was, and I felt bad for the people that were affected,” Aiden said. “We set up boxes and collected (items). We are sending everything to a donation center, which will be distributed in Texas. We got a lot of stuff, a lot more than I expected. I feel very happy and thankful to those that donated something, and I’m happy we did this.” At All Hallows, reports parent Marianne Castronovo, third-graders raised money for the American Red Cross of San Diego. “They handed out fliers asking for donations, and offered ‘free dress day’ (no school uniforms) as an incentive for their relief fund, with a minimum request of $1. On Sept. 7, instead of seeing a sea of uniforms, All Hallows students proudly wore free dress, knowing their contributions were going to help,” she said. “As a class, the thirdgraders collected the donations, then sorted and counted the money. Then, they joyfully sent a check to the American Red Cross of San Diego.”

All Girls STEM Society offers fun, supportive learning ops
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON As part of the national All Girls STEM Society (AGSS), a group of Bishop’s School students are doing their part to encourage young girls to get — and stay — involved with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning. The group hosts 12-17 free STEM workshops across San Diego libraries, festivals, schools and youth groups to encourage the spirit of curiosity and innovation. The All Girls STEM Society has chapters in 25 school districts and more than 2,000 participants, but The Bishop’s School has one of the larger chapters. “Our mission is to provide a safe and encouraging platform to have hands-on experiences in STEM. We want to inspire them to pursue this field because a lot of girls are discouraged at a young age,” said founding member Veronica Tang. AGSS research reports women make up only 25 percent of the workforce in computer, mathematics and science fields. To familiarize girls with these fields, the team produces age-appropriate, fun events. Evidenced by nicknames, inside jokes and the occasional jabbing, the team has fun being a part of the self-proclaimed “nerd community” and creating the workshops. “It’s not just sit down, do math, check if it’s right and move on. We turn it into games with prizes,” said Sahil Malhotra, one of the male volunteers in the group (yes, guys are allowed to volunteer, but the team itself is all girls). For example, a recent math tournament featured an egg-relay-race. “We took those plastic Easter eggs, and filled each one with a math equation and set up stations,” Veronica said. “The girls would have to run to a station with an egg on a spoon, open the egg, solve the equation as a team, and then get another egg on a spoon and go to the next station.” When it comes to robotics workshops, Sahil said, “We have these miniature robots that can be programmed to move in a
certain direction. To make it more interesting and age appropriate, we put a pen on it, you can program the robot to draw shapes. So we would put down paper and have them program the robot to draw something and let them do it. If I had that option available when I was a kid, I would do that all day.” He added that robotics is a “pretty male dominated field,” to which another team-member joked “technology in general (is male dominated)” and another quipped, “STEM in general!” At which laughter erupted. As for why these students are so committed, for most, it’s personal. “I am a woman in STEM. I’ve always like math and then in middle school I joined my school’s Math Counts team and I’ve been to other math events,” said Crystal Wang. “As I got older and kept going, I saw the number of girls dwindling. I didn’t know where to sit or how to act. I felt like people were looking at me. I didn’t want to see that happen to other girls.” Veronica added the joke with girls in math is that math tournaments are the only places in which the girl’s restroom line is shorter than the boy’s restroom. Sahil’s motivation, he said, is his mother. “She was born in India … and she was a computer science teacher in India. When she moved here, she had to stop teaching because she didn’t have the right credentials. I’ve always been miffed about that. She moved on and started a new career, but I don’t want to see anyone else’s passion torn away from them.” William Tien shares a similar sentiment. “I love science and by the age of 5, I was reading my sister’s encyclopedias. In high school, I learned there were girls who were not encouraged to partake in science like I was. I wanted to help those people.” The team hasn’t scheduled a local event, but has hosted math workshops at La Jolla Riford Library and would like to return.

Two home addition plans get permitters’ beatdown Two others good to go
and you people are part of the Bird Rock community.”
BY COREY LEVITAN On Sept. 12, architects seeking coastal and site development permits for a second-story addition to a bluff-top house at 6340 Camino de la Costa made their third appearance before the La Jolla Development Permit Review (DPR) committee. They will need to make at least a fourth. The “Abbott residence” project displayed at the Rec Center by Matrix Design’s Lauren Williams and her assistant, Mike McCarley, drew criticism from DPR committee members about front and bluff setbacks and garages that violate the La Jolla Community Plan. “I know there was a letter about the garages and how it doesn’t conform to the character,” said architect and committee member Beth Gaenzle. “Aesthetically, it doesn’t go with the house. There’s an opportunity to minimize the garage.” “There’s not,” Williams shot back, rolling her eyes. “The slope is so great on that site, there would be no possible way to turn into a garage.” (The garages were built in the 1960s.) Due to all the criticism, the proposal — which took up nearly twice the meeting time it was allotted — was not put to a vote. “From what I’ve heard, the garages have to get pushed back, but I’m not an architect,” concluded moderator Mike Costello before the architects packed up
■ Project 3: Claude-Anthony Marengo of Marengo Morton Architects proposed the replacement of an existing dwelling at 6170 Inspiration Way with the 4,732-square-foot “Zadeh residence.” Considering the project had the approval of five out of five impacted neighbors and no public complainants, the committee voted to make their preliminary review a final one, then approved the proposal on the spot. “It’s usually rare for me,” a jubilant Marengo said of the lack of complainants. “I have to be honest.” Costello replied: “Don’t worry, we’ll get you on another one.” ■ Project 4: Finally, the construction of retaining walls at 615 Wrelton Drive — to satisfy a code violation regarding construction commissioned by a former owner — was met with general acceptance by the committee. The DPR analyzes all discretionary permits in La Jolla (outside The Shores) and submits its recommendations to the La Jolla Community Planning Association to be ratified or reconsidered before an official recommendation is forwarded to the City. — The next DPR meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m., Sept. 19 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. bit.ly/planningagendas

■ Project 2: Objections were also raised to replacing an existing single-story, mixed-use building at 5785 La Jolla Blvd. with a two-story live/work building measuring 9,439 square feet. One neighbor called the newly proposed project a “big white IKEA,” claiming that it requires more parking — there are four retail shops and only three spots — and a bigger loading zone. “I understand your complaints against this project,” replied presenting architect Patrick Banning, “but it’s a complaint against the Municipal Code.” While acknowledging that the plan presented the required parking for its square footage, Costello agreed about the loading zone, telling Banning it’s “going to be a biggie” with the Bird Rock Community Council.

FROM MURAL, A1 at 7905 Herschel Ave. over the weekend on the Citibank Building. It replaces “at sea” by Ann Hamilton. The image is of Kahn, pensively looking up, superimposed with the Salk Institute plaza. “When I think about La Jolla, what sticks out to me was that visit to the Salk Institute,” he said. “I’m a visual artist, not an architect. But it is well known that the Institute is one of Kahn’s most important buildings. I wanted to have him in the piece also. To me, it’s an homage to La Jolla and Salk.” The image was “drawn” on a computer and printed out. Murals of La Jolla curator Lynda Forsha said it is a welcomed addition. “Many make a pilgrimage to La Jolla to see this remarkable building and Kota is reminding us that it’s right here in our backyard,” she said. “When I saw his proposal, I thought, ‘aha, what a brilliant observation and not surprising that it takes an astute artist from outside our community to see it so clearly.’ And as Kota’s title suggests, it’s something that happened a long time ago and, unfortunately, major artistic collaborations like this don’t happen often enough.” “The Art Advisory Committee for Murals of La Jolla has been following Kota’s work for some time and we were thrilled that he was willing to participate in the project. Typically, his work references images from popular culture or history, which he distills to focus our attention on significant moments in time. We were excited to see what he would come up with for this very important site in La Jolla.”
A self-portrait of multi-media artist Kota Ezawa Typically a video artist, Ezawa has only recently delved into public art, but said he has yet to create a piece of this magnitude. “I love doing public art because it broadens the conversation.

At least they are talking.” He was born and raised in Germany (with a mix of German and Japanese ethnicity). “Every kid loves to make art, but I was into drawing from a child-age on. I was never going to launch a career as a scientist or serious academic. I played in rock and punk bands doing electronic music. At some point, you choose what you want to sink your teeth into. For me it was art,” he explained. “In the 1990s, when I was a student, video was a really new thing. Now everyone has video on their phones.” He has also explored sculpture. Ezawa said he came to the United States as an undergrad in 1994 to study art in San Francisco. While he intended to stay for a year-and-a-half, a job at a local gallery and meeting his now wife prompted him to stay. Currently “at home” in California, he has other pieces in the works, including some statues for public spaces in the Bay Area and a mural for the San Francisco International Airport. “I feel very lucky that I get to do what I do, and especially lucky that I get to participate in the Murals of La Jolla program,” he said. “I’ve seen the others works on display, and I feel great to have my work shown alongside them.”

Create Wellness Center specializes in natural medicine BY DAVID L. CODDON The name of the holistic center she founded may have changed, but for Roya Nikzad, Ph.D, L.AC., DIPL. AC., the goals for her patients remain the same: wellness and healing. Nikzad’s Allergy and Acupuncture Center, which opened in 1994, is now the Create Wellness Center for Natural Medicine, a full-service holistic clinic located in the area near La Jolla Village Square at 8950 Villa La Jolla Drive. While allergy and acupuncture treatments are still “the cornerstones of the business,” according to the clinic’s director, Melody Darvish, “we offer a wide variety of holistic therapies.” Clients today are seen not only for allergies and pain management, but for issues including sleep and digestive disorders, weight loss, management of stress, assistance with nutrition and lifestyle, detoxification, and genetic and lab testing. “We do everything naturally — no medications, no prescription drugs,” emphasized Darvish. The Create Wellness office is a small and friendly one, with a peaceful, spa-like atmosphere. In addition to Nikzad, who has been practicing holistic medicine for
more than 20 years, the center has a full-time acupuncturist, Celeste Salerno, on staff as well as its welcoming office employees. You’ll be greeted not only by them, but likely by soothing sounds and fragrances when you enter. The Create Wellness Center is out in front on cutting-edge holistic therapies, including Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques, or NAET, a non-invasive treatment for allergies that Nikzad has been using for more than two decades. The focus is on what Darvish called “functional medicine.” After a full body assessment of a patient takes place, that person’s underlying issues are determined and a comprehensive plan is developed for treatment and to facilitate a pathway healing. “We really get to the root of the issues,” she said. Lab testing, for example, is customized based on the patient’s needs. The results determine which therapies, supplements or lifestyle recommendations are in order. The Create Wellness Center’s clients are generally those who have tried traditional medicine and come away frustrated or disappointed. “People usually come here with multiple
complaints,” Darvish explained. “We typically see people who’ve tried everything else and nothing worked. (Dr. Nikzad) is very up to date with research. She’s constantly going to seminars and training. Our office is very involved. We really guide and mentor.” Patients, she said, come from as far away as Tijuana to the south and Oceanside, at the northern edge of San Diego County. Nikzad “really has a loyal following of people she’s been able to help.” In generally health-conscious San Diego County, holistic practitioners are not rare, nor are wellness clinics. What separates the Create Wellness Center for Natural Medicine? “We actually provide treatments that help the body heal,” stressed Darvish. “We use multiple therapies and approaches to effectively address health conditions.” Create Wellness Center for Natural Medicine is at 8950 Villa La Jolla Drive, Suite C117, La Jolla.

Lars Remodeling & Design: Never lose sight of the process BY DAVID L. CODDON The son of a general contractor and a second-generation home remodeler, Jason Larson lives and breathes the business he started a quarter-century ago. “After 26 years, I’ve developed this into what fulfills my needs as a person,” said Larson. “This” is Lars Remodeling & Design, a full-service home remodeling company based, Larson said, on dedication to the process, and building trust and goodwill not only with customers but among the firm’s 37 employees. The company’s range of services includes whole house remodels, as well as remodels specific to rooms such as the kitchen and bath, room additions, custom-home remodels and condo remodeling. Larson’s team members are devoted either to design, build or operations responsibilities. He calls them good people who “make my life so much easier. We empower our employees. There’s really very little supervision on my end. We have a culture of fun and trust that we never lose sight of.” His philosophy for the business has to do with ownership and commitment. “We do it the way I like to do it. We
literally are a design-build company,” Larson explained. “All of that is done in house, from the initial measuring of the house to the conceptual design to the interior design to the drafting of the plans. We own all of that. Our mindset is that if it’s part of the Jason Larson process we want to own it. If we own it, we control it.” Only the financing and actual construction are outsourced, and these go to “preferred trade partners,” Larson said. “We can then hang our hat on that.” While the majority of Lars Remodeling & Design’s business is kitchen remodels (about 65 percent of its projects, Larson estimates), these remodels often extend to other parts of the house, incorporating other spaces and perhaps appliances. Here again, Larson gives props to his experienced team members.

“They are talented people who get things into forward action and then deliver to a client everything that’s promised. “When you’re done and you can look at a client and shake their hand, it is so rewarding. I love nothing more than to walk into a supermarket or somewhere and have somebody say ‘You did my place 10 years ago, and we still love it.’ We get to meet people and build relationships, find out what a client wants to do, what their dream is,” Larson said. After 26 years, he is still determined to be the best. Being the biggest isn’t that important. “That’s never been our goal,” he said. “We never set out to be just a growth company. We’re very cautious about growing slowly enough where we don’t lose the things that I think have made us successful the last 26 years: our ethics, our culture, and always living by the process.” Lars Remodeling & Design is at 5925 Kearny Villa Road, Suite 100, San Diego.

Researchers develop tool to assess one’s wisdom level FROM USD REPORTS Researchers at University of San Diego School of Medicine have developed a tool they call the San Diego Wisdom Scale (SD-WISE) to assess an individual’s level of wisdom, based upon a conceptualization of wisdom as a trait with a neurobiological as well as psychosocial basis. The findings are published in the September 2017 issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research. “There is evidence to suggest that the level of wisdom is dictated to a large degree by neurobiology, and that distinct regions and systems in the brain govern the identified components of wisdom,” said Dilip Jeste, M.D., Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry & Neurosciences and director of the UC San Diego Center for Healthy Aging. “There are measures now that assess a person’s level of wisdom,
but they do not incorporate these emerging neurobiological models of the trait. SD-WISE reflects the latest thinking. We believe it may be a useful tool in clinical practice, in addition to its value in bio-psycho-social research, especially investigations into the neurobiology of wisdom and possible interventions to enhance it.” Jeste, with colleagues at UC San Diego and Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System, recruited 524 residents of San Diego County, ages 25 to 104, from an ongoing longitudinal investigation called the Successful Aging Evaluation (SAGE) study, focusing on physical, cognitive and psychosocial aspects of successful aging across the adult lifespan. Slightly more than half of the participants were female. More than three-fourths identified their race or ethnicity as non-Latino white. A majority
had some college education. The mean age was 58. Participants were administered the SD-WISE along with two existing measures: the 12-item Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale and the 40-item Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale. SD-WISE differed from the other scales in that its set of statements (which participants agreed or disagreed with on a scale of one to five) was predicated upon a literature review and an expert consensus, which Jeste and others have described in earlier published research. Studies suggest that wisdom may be defined by six specific domains and that these domains are linked to distinct regions of the brain, based upon neuroimaging and other scientific evidence. For example, the domain of prosocial attitudes and behaviors, such as empathy, altruism and social cooperation, is
facilitated by the prefrontal cortex (PFC), located in the front part of the brain and responsible to complex executive functions. The other domains are social decision-making/pragmatic knowledge of life, emotional regulation, reflection/self-understanding, tolerance of diverse values, and ability to effectively deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in life. All of these domains are associated with specific brain regions, including different parts of the PFC, the limbic system and amygdala, and specific neurotransmitters, especially monoamines. The researchers found that SD-WISE successfully measured five of the six targeted domains, and made effective distinctions between individuals’ differing degrees of wisdom. The sixth domain — social decision-making — was partially covered as “social advising.”

City passes Granny Flat ordinance, bypassing La Jolla suggestions BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The City of San Diego passed its Accessory Unit Ordinance Sept. 12 without modification in Council Chambers, downtown. The ordinance loosens restrictions on building companion units of up to 1,200 square feet or junior units up to 500 square feet, on one’s property. It becomes law 30 days from the Sept. 12 vote. The City ordinance is a modified version of a recently passed State ordinance, with the intent of creating more housing opportunities. However, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) took umbrage with some of the City’s changes to the ordinance, and drafted a letter to the City Council with its suggestions. LJCPA trustee Phil Merten spoke on behalf of the organization at the Council meeting. Regarding issues such as parking, setbacks and building height, the ordinance conflicts with current local regulations. For example, current Development Code requires an accessory dwelling unit come with two parking spaces. Under the proposed ordinance, with a junior unit, creation of additional parking is not required. With a companion unit, the parking requirement has been reduced from one parking space per bedroom unit to half-a-parking space per unit with a minimum of one space. “The LJCPA believes the extent of the proposed amendments will severely impact community character and quality of life in San Diego’s single-family neighborhoods,”
A video screen capture of La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee Phil Merten addressing the San Diego City Council. Merten said, and suggested that “to maintain some degree of community character and some quality of life across all our neighborhoods, companion units and junior units should comply with all existing land development regulations.” He asked the City Council not enact any more than what is required by State law and suggested additional amendments could be added later, after a trial period. La Jolla Shores resident Janie Emerson also spoke, noting that in the beach communities, the accessory units would not contribute to affordable housing because the units would be rented at market rates. “The key thing is to preserve our wonderful, rich, diverse heritage in each of San Diego’s neighborhoods … and make
CITYTV
choices that enhance the diversity. I hope you will look at that,” she said, adding that she opposes a one-size-fits-all approach. After hearing public testimony, District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry posed questions to City staff managing the ordinance. Among them: Would a homeowner who wants to build an accessory unit in the coastal areas be required to apply for a Coastal Development Permit? and Would they would be asked by the City to present to applicable community planning groups for support? City staff affirmed both. Bry also noted the City Council added a provision that the units be rented for a minimum of 30 days to ensure they do not become short-term vacation rentals. The
30-day minimum is for companion units henceforth constructed, and would not apply to existing units. “We have a housing shortage in San Diego at all levels and every neighborhood needs to do its part,” Bry said. “These units could be lived in by teachers, police officers, fire fighters, etc. — people who live in the community where they work and walk to work. I think these units are appropriate in many neighborhoods in San Diego and I support this ordinance.” The motion to pass the ordinance without incorporating LJCPA suggestions passed 8-1 with City Council member Chris Cate in opposition. Later, at the La Jolla Shores Association meeting, Emerson said she was “annoyed” at the outcome. “This ordinance is a game changer for this community and it has flown under the radar,” she said. “It’s a real disaster and it’s going through under the guise of affordable housing. I think it’s time for people in San Diego, especially the beach areas, to stand up and say this is not OK. It’s not that we oppose affordable housing, we oppose a one-size-fits-all approach. What might work for Barrio Logan or Linda Vista is going to be different from what would work in Talmadge or City Heights.” Emerson concluded, “The only saving grace for us is that … those who want to build something have to get a Coastal Development Permit and their plans are supposed to go through community planning groups. That doesn’t help any other communities, but it helps us.”

La Jolla Shores Association readies for big October events
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON October will be a busy month in La Jolla Shores, as the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) prepares for the expanded 10th annual Fall Festival, the unveiling of Walter Munk Way and an information-packed LJSA meeting next month. These events were discussed at the Sept. 13 LJSA meeting.

10th annual Fall Fest
The milestone 2017 Fall Fest is slated for 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15 and will feature, for the first time, a street closure of Avenida de la Playa between El Paseo Grande and Calle de la Plata to extend activities, which will include music from La Jolla High School and La Jolla Country Day School bands. There will also be children’s crafts, trick-or-treating, a photo booth and a dunk tank. “You never know who might show up at the dunk tank,” joked LJSA member Sharon Luscomb. For $10, a “passport” grants participants an item from participating merchants. The signature Fall Fest train will also provide rides up and down Avenida de la Playa. Volunteers and participants of all ages are encouraged to come in costume. This year, LJSA chair Nick LeBeouf said he would like to see more board and community participation. “Ever since I’ve been on this board, La Jolla Shores Association has had limited participation, but this is a community event and I don’t think we’ve done our part. I’d like the board and the community to step up and support this festival,” he said, inviting anyone who might be in town to attend, and if they can

Walter Munk Way designation
Legendary oceanographer Walter Munk will be honored 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18 — one day before his 100th birthday — when the La Jolla Shores boardwalk (aka La Vereda) will be renamed Walker Munk Way. In an announcement about the renaming, City Council member Barbara Bry said, “Walter Munk is not only a world-renowned geophysicist, often referred to as ‘The Einstein of the Oceans,’ but he is a beloved local icon with deep roots in the San Diego community. … Munk is a pioneer of geophysical and oceanographic science whose research ranges from predicting the wave conditions for the Allied invasion of Normandy to climate change. The City of San Diego is proud to recognize Dr. Munk by

naming a La Jolla Shores street in his honor. Our office has received an outpouring of support for this effort, and we look forward to unveiling the honorary street sign in the community.” LJSA member Terry Kraszewski added, “We want to make this a grand event to honor him in the best possible way,” and that representatives from Scripps, UC San Diego and local government will attend. The event will be open to the public and hundreds are expected to attend. Following the unveiling of the street name, there will be a party at the nearby Scripps Seaside Forum, 8610 Kennel Way. The party will also be open to the public. Munk’s wife and LJSA trustee, Mary Coakley Munk, said she thought it was “incredible” that this event is coming to fruition. A website has been set up to provide information on Munk, as well as details
Lifeguard Marine Safety Lt. Rich Stropky will provide summer rescue statistics — which are reportedly down from previous years — and there will be a presentation on smoke emitting from Kellogg Park, at the next LJSA meeting. Part-time resident Charlie Williams said, “I live in front of the park … and because of the fire rings, barbecues, and the portable fire pits that are showing up, there is so much smoke coming from the park, we’ve taken out our smoke detectors in our house.” He asked the board to look at available data on the subject and the effect of smoke on humans, and offered an expert that could produce such data at the next meeting. “I don’t want to eliminate the fires, but there is a way to reduce it and there are certainly simple solutions that you can to do to reduce the amount of smoke that is emitted in the park,” Williams said, and he noted that cigarette smoking is prohibited in the park, yet fire pits that produce copious amounts of smoke are allowed. LJSA agreed to hear the data and discuss options for moving the fire sources to minimize impact on nearby residents. — La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 8840 Biological Grade on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus.

FROM TOWN COUNCIL, A1 one audience member.) Objection after objection was raised to the proposal’s terms. Ninety was way too many days per year, audience members argued, and a seven-day rental minimum and $100 annual permit fee were unacceptably low. Short-term, or vacation, rentals are a dire problem requiring zero tolerance, audience members said. They prevent families with children from finding long-term rentals, they prevent employers from recruiting top talent from other cities, and they lower both quality of life and property values. Short-term rentals are already prohibited by a San Diego zoning ordinance, although that prohibition is not enforced. The message this audience wanted sent to City Council was clear: JUST ENFORCE IT. Tom Coat, president of the non-profit called Save San Diego Neighborhoods, claimed that 1,045 single-family homes in Pacific Beach are vacation-rented, up from only 63 in 2007, which makes only 236 available to long-term renters. “For every home available to a family or a worker who wants to become a resident, there are 4.5 homes available for tourists,” Coat said. “This vacation-rental crisis is nothing less than a fight for the soul of our neighborhoods.” Nemchik thanked the audience for its feedback. “It says ‘draft’ on it,” she said, “and we’re still continuing to tweak.” The San Diego City Council is scheduled to take up the issue on Oct. 23.
In other Town Council news:
■ Also at the meeting, a case was made
Hilary Nemchik faces La Jolla’s version of an angry mob at the Town Council meeting in the Rec Center, Sept. 14. against the Federal Aviation Administration for seeming to ignore a petition signed by 300 La Jollans against increased plane noise since changes were made bringing many flights closer to La Jolla and lower in altitude. “And that’s 24 hours a day, there’s no curfew on arrivals,” said cardiologist Matthew Price. “So if you’re waking up at 3 in the morning, wondering why you heard a noise, those are arrival paths over La Jolla Shores, over La Jolla Farms, over Mt. Soledad.” No specific solution was suggested, although three were proposed: 1) filing an
amicus brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit on current litigation; 2) challenging the FAA to perform an additional environmental review; and 3) applying political pressure on the airport to mitigate these impacts. All three were under consideration, Price said. ■ Usually a bill-topping topic, the La Jolla sea lions had to settle for third place on Thursday. Town Council president Ann Kerr Bache updated the audience on recommendations submitted by a Town Council task force to Mayor Kevin
COREY LEVITAN
Faulconer’s office in November, 2016. She said it received “no reply and no acknowledgment of it ...” “But,” Bache said, “we’re not giving up on being in charge of what’s going on at our beaches. There’s basically two choices — move and exclude the California sea lions according to legal, humane prescriptions of the Marine Animals Protection Act, or move and exclude recreational users of our waters.” — La Jolla Town Council next meets, 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollatowncouncil.org

Hep A: How safe is La Jolla REALLY? SPECIAL REPORT
This map illustrates the risk of Hepatitis A throughout the world. Brown = high. Red = medium to high. Yellow = low to medium. Grey = low.
WIKICOMMONS
BY COREY LEVITAN The pre-gavel topic at La Jolla civic meetings last week was Hepatitis A, as national headlines about the outbreak in San Diego caused friends and family living elsewhere to reach out and check up. But are La Jollans really as safe as they assured their Facebook friends they are? So far, in what officials have dubbed the nation’s second-largest Hep A outbreak in decades, 16 have died in San Diego, with 421 confirmed or probable cases making the mortality rate just under 4 percent. (Typically, the County reports only two or three hepatitis A cases per month.) Hep A spreads through infected feces or bodily fluids. The most common ways are sexual contact, needle-sharing or ingestion — either by touching an infected object and then your mouth, or by eating infected food. The virus inflames the liver, and can stop it from working to the point that your body can no longer clear toxins from the blood. That’s not good. So far, most of the infected have been IV drug-users or homeless people, with cases concentrated in downtown and the cities of El Cajon, Santee and La Mesa. (San Diego has vaccinated about 20,000 people and set up temporary public restrooms and hand-washing stations downtown, where it is also washing the streets with water

But La Jollans are hardly immune, as they discovered last week when health officials warned that anyone may have been exposed who ate and drank at World Famous Restaurant in Pacific Beach on Aug. 28-30, Sept. 3-4 or Sept. 10-11. Pacific Beach patient zero was a bartender who handled food, County Public Health officer Wilma Wooten told the Light. The restaurant closed for a couple of days, then reopened. “The bartender was exposed somewhere else,” Wooten said. “They didn’t get the infection at the restaurant and there is no reason to stay away from the restaurant. The restaurant did a thorough and full disinfection.” And while La Jolla’s homeless population is only a tiny fraction of downtown’s, it may trouble readers to learn that all three people interviewed by the Light last week, who live on La Jolla’s streets, say they’re neither vaccinated nor concerned about the outbreak. “It’s not my problem,” said a man, identifying himself as Steven Baumeister, who lives out of a shopping cart next to the CVS Pharmacy driveway at 7525 Eads Ave. “I’m not a dirtbag,” the man explained. “Any of those homeless people you’re talking about that come in contact with those sorts of diseases obviously participate in (careless) activities ...” So exactly how freaked-out should La Jollans be right now?
Doctor’s advice
“It’s pretty amazing that it’s spreading so much,” said Dr. Mark Shalauta, a Scripps Memorial-affiliated family medicine
LA JOLLA LIGHT - SEPTEMBER 21, 2017 - PAGE A19
specialist and co-chair of the Scripps Health Immunization Committee. “This has been bubbling for many months and everyone kind of thought it’ll eventually blow over, but it keeps building.” A worst-case scenario would see Hep A enter the food chain, Shalauta said, as E coli has done in the past. “If someone who works with food or food-packing introduced it that way,” he said, “then it would spread like wildfire.” So far, however, that’s not the reality. Although the outbreak is worsening, it is not out of control. The City still only recommends vaccinations for homeless people and those around them, for police and other first-responders, and for food-handlers, healthcare workers, janitors, IV drug-users, men who have sex with men, and people with illnesses that damage the liver or immune system. Shalauta agrees with that prescription — though he has offered vaccinations to the 20 of his patients who have e-mailed so far asking about them. “It makes a great story, the outbreak and everything like that,” Shalauta said, “but we’re not seeing it spread through food at this point, so it’s not super-concerning. That’s the way I’m explaining it to my patients.” Meantime, washing your hands a few extra times a day — and a little more rigorously in public bathrooms — couldn’t hurt, Shalauta says. Oh, and you know those people everyone always makes fun of for only touching the public bathroom door handle with a paper towel? They’re right. “All you need is one infected person to wipe without washing and everybody in that bathroom is at risk,” Shalauta said.
Q & HEP A ■ What is Hepatitus A? An occasionally fatal virus that inflames the liver. ■ How can you catch it? By consuming contaminated food or water, by touching fecal molecules left by an infected person and then ingesting them by touching your mouth, or by sexual or other contact with bodily fluids from an infected person. ■ What are the symptoms? Not every Hepatitis A infection causes them. But they include yellowing of the skin and eyes, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, clay-colored bowel movements, loss of appetite, low-grade fever, dark urine and joint pain. Symptoms don’t usually appear until weeks after exposure. ■ Who should get vaccinated? Homeless people and those who come into contact with them, food-handlers, healthcare workers, janitors, police and other first-responders, IV drug users, men who have sex with men, and people with illnesses affecting the liver or immune system. ■ Who’s already immune? Anyone who has ever been vaccinated, which includes most U.S. citizens who have traveled to developing countries (as per the CDC’s recommendations). Most California children are also immune, since Hep A vaccinations have been routine since 2006. (They are given in two doses, six months apart — the first providing about 80 percent protection, the second the other 20.) Also immune is anyone previously infected who recovered. ■ Do old vaccinations require boosters? No. They’re good for life. ■ How else can you protect yourself? Wash your hands often, and don’t touch doors or other objects in public bathrooms after hand-washing.

Cutest little clams crowd La Jolla Shores Beach
O
ne afternoon last week, walking home along La Jolla Shores beach, I came across a surprising sight. At first glance, it seemed the upper intertidal area was covered with tiny pebbles. The beach was littered with millions (no exaggeration) of teeny tiny clams. Not one person running, walking, or playing on the beach seemed to notice the tiny clams, they just walked over them. I was surprised to see them on the surface
because I know that these clams (bean clams here — Donax gouldii or coquinas, and in the southeastern United States — Donax variabilis) live in the intertidal zone and are normally found just below the surface of the sand. I wondered where the birds were because this was a virtual feast just lying there. Shorebirds like sanderlings normally have to work hard by probing their beaks into the sand to collect these clams. Only a few lazy looking western gulls were standing
These living clams are oriented posterior end up.

around, looking quite disinterested. Bean clams have some of the prettiest and most delicate shells around. They come in a rainbow of beautiful pastel colors and are about the size of your pinky fingernail. I checked to see that they were alive — as soon as I touched one, it scooted down below the sand surface. The abundance of these clams varies from year to year with some years having populations that number in the millions. These episodes of super abundant bean clams date back to at least 1894 here in La Jolla, when the town’s earliest marine biologists recorded their behavior and abundance along these shores. Sometimes for years after an epic year, you can hardly find any. For their size, bean clams are incredibly spirited little animals. They can move quickly up and down in the sandy substrate, always positioned vertically so their siphons can filter water. Some species of Donax (especially variabilis coquinas) migrate up and down the beach during the tidal cycle. The clams actually hop up into the biggest of the incoming waves and surf their way farther up the beach. When the wave recedes, coquinas burrow quickly down into the sand in tiny spurt-like movements. When the tide is going out, coquinas do the opposite action. They hop up into the wave and get carried farther down the beach. I don’t know how long the bean clams will be abundant, but take a look for them next time you are at the beach at low tide. They are so amusing to watch! — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation and writes about the flora and fauna of La Jolla.

I’m not sure if you publish letters that praise local businesses, but if so, I would like to give a sincere shout out to Bower’s Jewelers for their fabulous customer service. Recently, I stopped by to inquire about fixing a tangled mess involving my daughter’s delicate silver necklace and an emoji keychain that spontaneously became tangled in her backpack. After numerous failed attempts to remedy the situation myself, I finally tired of looking at the mess on my desk and asked Larry of Bower’s Jewelers if he could take a look at it. He graciously agreed and spent the next 30 minutes painstakingly separating the two items, all the while patiently teaching me the tricks of the trade as I will, no doubt, need these skills for future spontaneous entanglements involving my teenage daughter’s jewelry. As if the service were not extraordinary
enough, Larry did this for FREE! And, although I offered repeatedly to pay for his time, he kindly refused any compensation. I walked out thinking the world needs more people like Larry. And, although Bower’s was already my go-to jeweler, this reaffirmed that the world still has many kind hearted, dedicated, service oriented individuals. Thank you, Bower’s employees for making La Jolla sparkle! Kat Peppers

Bags full of dog waste left on streets BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON he Village has a unique dog waste problem. Technically, pet owners are picking up after their dogs and tying the baggies closed, but then they are leaving the excrement-filled bags on the street! La Jolla Light observed two incidences on Fay Avenue where this occurred last week, and a recent letter-writer has contacted the paper with her observances of the same situation. According to San Diego County Department of Animal Services: “Owners may not allow their dog to defecate or urinate on anyone else’s property” and “Owners are required to remove any feces to a proper receptacle.” Further, the San Diego Storm Water Pollution Prevention Guide to Best Management Practices advises pet owners to “pick up and properly dispose of your pet’s waste that is left in yards, parks and public right-of-ways,” because “pet waste left on lawns, beaches, trails and sidewalks contain pathogens such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. When not picked up, the waste can get washed down and flow directly into streams, lakes and the ocean, creating harm to human health and the environment. In addition to causing beach closures, this contamination can cause sickness in both human and wildlife.”

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL

EYESORES EVERYWHERE
ere is just one example of the shabbiness in The Village that detracts from the quality of life in La Jolla — and it’s all located at a central intersection and hub of pedestrian traffic. — Vincent Blocker
Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light passed the street-scene image along to the real estate office fronting this part of Girard Avenue, and a concerned response was immediately forthcoming from Realtor Peggy Chodorow. She said: “This makes me mad, too. The tree is City-installed, so I have no control over that, but I feel sorry for that poor tree every time I look at it, since it has no water source. A big, pretty tree was damaged in a recent storm was replaced by the current sad sack. I will get my planters freshened up. I do sweep the trash away, regularly, but the people who grace our sidewalks have an aversion to trash cans. Thanks for the heads up.”

■ I wrote a few months ago regarding this situation and the photo of the same over-flowing trash can was published. I was pleased and hoping the problem would be solved. Well, obviously, it has not been solved. This trash can is located at the bus stop at Nautilus and La Jolla Blvd. (west side), situated between the two benches. It is disgraceful and unacceptable and this has to stop. After the picture was taken, I did clean it up and tossed the trash. But really, someone has to take responsibility on an ongoing basis. Please La Jolla Light find the answer! — Mary Flesner ■ Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores.

ave you ever noticed that run-down building located on the corner of Girard Avenue and Torrey Pines Road? I was told years ago that it is an AT&T building (that houses their phone equipment). This building is dirty, has bars on the windows and very old and ugly landscaping (not to mention the trash that is always around it). For some reason, AT&T doesn’t feel compelled to even paint or re-landscape this building. Recently, I was in the Poway downtown area and noticed the beautiful building that AT&T has built for that location. I would imagine they didn’t do that by choice, but were forced to do it by the City of Poway (to keep up with their strict building codes). Yet here in La Jolla, AT&T hasn’t even bothered to paint their building for the past 20 years. The Spanish-style is a nice fit for La Jolla, but I feel it’s time for us to make calls to AT&T to pressure them to clean their building up. They need to paint the building, take the bars off
The AT&T Building in Poway on Midland Road and Edgemoor Street the windows, remove the ugly landscaping and plant some new trees/bushes, and clean up the garbage on a regular basis. Once again, it is amazing how the City of San Diego does nothing to force these businesses to keep up their properties (compared to cities like Poway and Del Mar). Hopefully, the new MAD in The Village will begin to do this for La Jolla, and at least keep us in line
with other localities. Terrence Schmidt Editor’s Note: An AT&T spokesperson confirmed to La Jolla Light that the building is an AT&T central office location, which houses equipment that is part of the AT&T telecommunications network. AT&T does not have plans to remodel the building in the near future, she added.

BLDG Active
BLDG Active, a skin repair product that comes in a liquid and gel form, became available to the masses this summer and recently became available on Amazon. But its base of business operations is in Bird Rock (5785 La Jolla Blvd.) and the product is sold at Bird Rock Surf Shop (5509 La Jolla Blvd.). Nicknamed “WD 40 for the body,” the active ingredient is a molecule called Hypochlorous acid, which is naturally produced in the human body in response to injury, such as cuts, scrapes, inflammation, sunburns and insect bites. “If you were to get a scrape or inflammation, your body is going to send white blood cells, and this molecule, to that injury. It’s your body’s way of reducing inflammation, speeding healing, and killing foreign bacteria,” said co-founder Justin Gardner. He explained scientists were able to replicate that molecule, concentrate it, stabilize it and get it into a liquid and gel form. “Now you can treat injuries topically the same way your body treats them internally,” he said. “Because the molecule is innate to your immune system, it is completely non-toxic and all natural. It is safe enough to spray in your eyes and mouth (which Gardner

BLDG Active co-founder Justin Gardner with some of the skin repair products demonstrated), yet it is powerful enough to kill MRSA and Staph infections.” Gardner said he spent 15 years in the marketing sector of the wound care and regenerative medicine fields, and worked with the CEO of the BLDG Active company to make it available to the public. And as a surfer, Gardner said he uses BLDG Active for reef cuts. The product is sold in 30 other outdoor recreation and bike shops in San Diego. bldgactive.com

Everlasting memories of loved ones
Gilbert Bernard Mélèse October 17, 1926 - August 30, 2017
LA JOLLA — Dr. Gilbert Bernard Mélèse, 90, passed peacefully at Scripps Memorial Hospital with family by his side. Born in Paris, France to Pierre and Madeleine Mélèse, Gilbert was 14 on the eve of World War II. His parents brought him and his two brothers to southern France as Jews were fired from their jobs in Paris and his father could no longer support the family. The five of them survived the war, despite the constant stress of food shortages and the fear of capture by Nazis. However, Gilbert’s grandparents, aunt and cousins, along with millions of other European Jews, were killed in the Nazi concentration camps. (https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=BcFXv8jNZYE) After the war, Gilbert finished his B.S. in Toulouse, then later went on to earn a masters
degree in aeronautical engineering. A Fullbright scholarship brought him to the U.S. to earn a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering at Johns Hopkins University. After his 1954 graduation, he married Yolande d’Hospital, who headed the French House at Goucher College, after which the couple returned to Paris. Dr. Mélèse worked as a research scientist at the French Atomic Energy Commission in Saclay to develop the first French nuclear power reactor. After his first two sons were born in Versailles, he moved his family back to the U.S. to begin a job at Columbia University in New York. There he was soon promoted from Assistant to Associate Professor of engineering, and his third son was born in 1959. The following year he accepted a job at General Atomic (GA) in sunny La Jolla, CA, where his daughter was
born. In 1966, the French immigrant couple became proud new American citizens. Dr. Mélèse enjoyed his professional career and his memberships: Fellow of the American Nuclear Society; Associate member of the American Association Aeronautics and Astronautics; Life member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; and a member of Sigma Chi. After retiring from General Atomic in 1982, he held visiting professorships at MIT, the Naval Postgraduate School, and the University of Illinois before being recruited by the State Department as Scientific Attaché to the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa (1984-1987). Among his many achievements, Dr. Mélèse co-authored an advanced textbook entitled “Thermal and Flow Design of Helium-Cooled Reactors.” Gilbert ended his career as a lecturer at U.C. Berkeley’s Department of Nuclear Engineering, and lived in Emeryville where he enjoyed swimming, tennis, hiking, mountain climbing, skiing and traveling well into his 80’s. He loved engaging in outdoor activities and cultural pursuits with his children, grandchildren and with French club and hiking club friends of all ages. After a health crisis
in 2013, he returned to be near family in La Jolla. Gilbert spent most of his last four years as an actively engaged resident of la Casa de Mañana, playing bridge, walking by the ocean and enjoying family visits and celebrations, including a 90th birthday party in October 2016. Gilbert is survived by his four children, Francois, Patrick, Philip and Isabelle; several grandsons and granddaughters; and in France, by his younger brother; and many loving cousins, nephews and nieces. This proud firstgeneration American inspired his family and friends with his strong support of education, music, the arts, and also many health, environmental and progressive causes. His family will hold a life celebration at the La Jolla Cove in mid-October to honor him. They suggest charitable donations in his memory, such as: American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, The Sierra Club, Unicef, the UN High Commission on Refugees, Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Anti-Defamation League.

Petition online for off-leash dog beach in The Shores A petition has been posted for the creation of an off-leash dog beach in La Jolla Shores. The author is 17-year-old La Jolla Country Day School junior Navid Massarat, who said he would like to establish an off-leash dog area north of Scripps Pier. The petition can be found at: change.org/p/la-jolla-shores-dog-beach On the change.org page, Navid explains his reasons for wanting an off-leash area and outlines the rules he is proposing. Among them: Dogs must be leashed June 16 through Labor Day, dogs must be able to run under voice control of owner from the day after Labor Day through June 15, and owners must pick up after dogs at all times. He said he might present to community planning groups, but would ultimately like to collect enough signatures to present his petition to City Council member Barbara Bry. As of press deadline, the petition has 74 signatures.
PTA names La Jolla High ‘School of Excellence’ La Jolla High School has been recognized as a National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) School of Excellence for the 2017-2019 school years. The program supports and celebrates partnerships between PTAs and schools that work to improve the educational experience and school environment for every child. This program provides guidance to help schools engage families in the school decision-making process, and build inclusive policies related to education, health, safety and the arts. Among the accomplishments that led to the recognition: A “welcome to La Jolla High School” banner in 32 languages, the creation of a “extended community liaison” position on the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) board, and a family survey that collected suggestions that are now being implemented. The La Jolla High PTSA meets 7:30 a.m. on the first Friday of the month in the school library, 750 Nautilus St.

Hillel Center proposal up for City Council vote Oct. 2 The proposed Glickman Hillel Center for Jewish Life near UC San Diego is on the City Council docket on Monday, Oct. 2 for a final vote. It was supposed to be voted upon – which would give the green light to construction – in July, but was postponed due a noticing error. The facility would be located on a triangular lot across from UC San Diego bounded by La Jolla Village Drive, La Jolla Scenic Way and La Jolla Scenic Drive North and serve Jewish students with counseling services, events and holiday observances. The proposal received unanimous approval from the San Diego Planning Commission April 27. The project has been in development, and subject to opposition from various La Jolla community advisory boards, for 17 years. Issues include the proximity of the center to the nearby residential neighborhood, and the influx of students and cars it would bring. More information: ucsdhillel.org/glickman-hillel-center

Tangle in the Tank fundraiser returns
Vikings football, water polo to compete for breast cancer research BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The La Jolla tradition, “Tangle in the Tank,” is back 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28 at Coggan Family Aquatic Center at La Jolla High School, 750 Nautilus St. The Vikings football team and the boys water polo team will square off in a water polo match to raise funds for Susan G. Komen San Diego’s breast cancer support services. Admission is $3 for students and $5 for adults. “These Viking athletes continue to put the ‘fun’ in fundraiser,” said La Jolla High School Foundation member Tom Murphy. “New this year, in addition to the highly entertaining match, will be a ‘Flop for a Cure!’ halftime show featuring a contest open to anyone in the La Jolla High School community willing to belly flop in front of hundreds of people and a few judges.” This will be the third annual event, and thus far, the football team and water polo team each have a win under their belts. The water polo team won the first Tangle, but last year, it was all about the football guys. Football coach Tyler Roach said the team is looking forward to the event and he wants to keep the bragging rights. “It’s a great event for a great cause, so we are happy to be a part and keep the tradition going,” he said. But water polo coach Tom Atwell said his team is ready, too. “After last year’s stunning defeat, we spent a lot of our
The post-game photo of both teams after the 2016 Tangle in the Tank pre-season game planning for this year’s match. Expect lots of new defensive schemes and a much more aggressive offense!” But regardless of the outcome, Atwell said he supports the cause because he is a three-time cancer survivor. “The boys and I know how important it is to raise awareness and help raise funds in any way we can. We are grateful to have a partnership with the football team to have an opportunity to do something together.”
If the water polo season thus far is any indicator, players to watch include Cole Atwell, who leads the team in goals with 26 (eight of which against cross town rivals The Bishop’s School); goalie Cole Raulston, who has been averaging 11 blocks a game as the leader of the Viking defense; and Maverick Becker, a steady team captain who averages three goals, four assists and five steals a game. “The team is off to a great start this season,

Historical Society exhibit salutes costume designer Judith Dolan
A collage of Dolan’s ideas for ‘Fool’
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Judith Dolan is the innovative mind behind the theatrical costumes created for early 1900s English women and Italian free spirits in “A Room with a View,” Victorian circuses in “Candide,” and the fashion evolution from the 1920s to the 1950s and eccentric wedding dresses in “Lovemusik.” To provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at the process of costume design, the latest La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) exhibition will shine the spotlight on Dolan, a UC San Diego theater and dance professor of 20 years and a Tony Award-winner, calling it “Judith Dolan: On Broadway.” It will be on view with free admission, Sept. 23 to Jan. 21, 2018 at La Jolla Historical Society’s Wisteria Cottage. The show features Dolan’s collages and sketches from nine productions (and maybe an actual costume or two), as well as a historical retrospective on performing arts in La Jolla. The productions under Dolan’s belt include: “Candide” (1997 Broadway, 1982 and 2017 on NYC
Opera), “Fool” (2017 Houston), “Lovemusik” (2007 Broadway), “Macbeth” (1993 Houston), “Parade” (1998 Broadway), “Paradise Found” (2010 London), “A Room with a View” (2012 Old Globe Theatre), “Travesties” (2003 Massachusetts, 2005 Connecticut, 2014 New York) and “The Winter’s Tale” (2014 The Old Globe Theatre). “She has been one of these behind-the-scene type artists, working in La Jolla doing very high level work,” said LJHS executive director Heath Fox. “Her creative process works like this: When she gets a play assignment, she starts with historical resources and develops collages and ideas, and then she does her own hand-drawings and sketches. We hope that this exhibit will be of interest to people who are regular audiences of the performing arts in San Diego. It’s a look into theater that many people don’t get a chance to see.” Of her creative process, Dolan told La Jolla Light: “I always feel the job of a designer is to visualize the text and tell a story without words. But I work very SEE ON BROADWAY, B20

The curse of smart appliances
I
La Jolla Cultural Partners
t’s getting harder and harder to find dumb appliances. You’d think that with tens of millions of us Boomers descending into incipient senility that appliance manufacturers would be falling all over themselves to create the Jitterbug phone version of washers, dryers, stoves, microwaves and remotes. We Boomers are definitely not the target audience for all these “smart” appliances. We all have memories of appliances that required no manuals whatsoever to operate. It is too much to ask (OK, apparently it is) to get a simple but quality appliance? For example, for decades I had stoves that had two dials: one for temperature and the other that could be set for bake, broil or pre-heat. Now, I did have to actually remember that pre-heat takes about 15 minutes, but I didn’t require that I be able to watch an electric counter on my stove’s touchscreen inch up to 350 degrees. I didn’t even require a buzzer to tell me it was ready, but it was a whole new era when one did. I think I could be pretty senile and still make that stove work. If the bake igniter went out (pretty much the only thing that could go wrong with stoves in that era), the repair guy had one on
his truck. One visit and I was back in business. Now, of course, one teeny-weeny malevolent little microchip flakes out on your electronic control panel and the whole effing thing has to be replaced. Last time it required a month to order and cost $590 (plus $150 labor). Come back, two-dial stove. I really miss you. Smart appliances obviously do not think highly of the intelligence of users. This is why most new appliances are afflicted with “feature creep” — new and ever-more complicated options guaranteed to make your life miserable and to require expensive repairs. When my appliances think they know best, I’m willing to hang it all up. Take, for example, this cautionary tale from an East Coast friend who bought a “smart” washing machine: At our house in Connecticut, we have an LG HE top loading machine, recommended for having less vibration than front loaders and no mildew problem. It has a feature called “load sensing” that allows the machine to tell if the load is balanced. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the machine has a very strict definition of a balanced load that would seem to require that
there is an even number of items of a similar weight and bulk in a load and that they are evenly distributed in the drum. If the machine, in its infinite wisdom, decides the load is unbalanced, it will attempt to remedy the situation by refilling with water. It will do this multiple times, resulting in cycle times of up to two hours (not kidding). Keep in mind that this is an “Energy Star” rated machine. Eventually, it will give up. Then we usually unplug it and set it to “spin only,” which can work. When it successfully completes a cycle it plays a cheerful little tune that infuriates me every time I hear it. When I went online to see if others had the same issue with the machine, I found cyberspace loaded with dissatisfied customers, one of whom posted the following advice: “Go to the top floor of your house. Open the largest window. Throw the machine out the window. Problem solved.” A particularly unfortunate result of this issue is that the gentle or “hand wash” cycle is virtually useless because of the unlikelihood of being able to create a “balanced load” of delicates. I am so excited to be in Martha’s Vineyard for the summer where my 20-year-old Maytag stackable completes the wash cycle in 20 minutes and delivers clean clothes. I highly doubt it is less “efficient” than my “smart” machine. On our dryer, at least,“wrinkle control” (the thing that keeps fluffing up your clothes every 30 seconds so they won’t get wrinkled if you can’t get to them right anyway) is a feature that you must select. But on some machines, it’s automatic. Friends went to Europe having put clothes in the dryer before they left. It was still fluffing when they returned.
Boomers have memories of appliances that required no manuals to operate. Maybe it’s my age that I see every appliance feature as “one more thing to break.” Or maybe it’s my age that I’ve repaired way too many appliances that had features I never wanted in the first place. So note to appliance manufacturers: Our neurons aren’t getting any younger. The first thing I’m going to forget how to use is the complicated touch screen on my stove. Please please make some appliances for the elderly. You don’t have to call them Dementia Appliances. In fact, it would be better if you didn’t. But here’s a hint: If it needs a manual, you’ve failed. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

This kicks-off our 3rd year hosting this event and our focus will be women leaders in the military. Please join us at the La Jolla Woman’s Club Wednesday, Sept 27th from 5:30-7:30 PM with Colonel Shaar. This complimentary event is open to men and women and will be held at the CLUBHOUSE at 7791 Draper Avenue La Jolla. Light appetizers and a cash bar.

Shaar will discuss her career as the Commanding Officer of Headquarters and Service Battalion, Marine Corps Recruit Depot/Western Recruiting Region, San Diego. Colonel Shaar is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana and she is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy. She also earned an M.S. in Management at the Naval Post Graduate School and the U.S. Army War College where she earned an M.A. in Strategic Studies. She served as a Congressional Fellow, representing the Marine Corps on Capital Hill.

We hope you will join us as we learn from the experiences of this and future speakers. This event is part of a broader effort by the LJWC to expand its community offerings, especially those focused on important aspects of home, health, and career.

La Jolla’s Earliest Residents
MUT LAH-HOY-YAH LAH-HOY-YAH: Village in the Land of the Sea Caves BY WILL BOWEN Editor’s Note: Reporter Will Bowen was inspired to write the following story on the earliest settlers in La Jolla after reading “Salt Water Boy,” by Melicent Lee, loaned to him by Scripps Institution of Oceanography professor John Hildebrand, and currently out of print. The information cited was also gleaned from “First People” by Dennis Gallegos and “Older than You Think” by George F. Carter, a student of famed archeologist Malcolm Rogers “who had the inside scoop on everything that happened,” Bowen insists. “Richard Carrico, who wrote ‘Strangers in a Stolen Land’ about the Native Americans in San Diego, thinks they left La Jolla in about 1815,” Bowen reports, “some went to the village of Onap or Saint Buenaventura, which was in nearby Rose Canyon. If you look at the first photos of La Jolla Shores, from 1880 to the 1890s, you’ll see it’s really barren — hardly any vegetation or trees — and the Natives’ ancestors’ bones came out every time it rained.”

Earliest settlements
Mut Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-yah was one of the first places in San Diego County where the ancient peoples who migrated over the Bering Strait or paddled down the coast settled. Scientists think there may have been several waves of these ancient immigrants, along with other ancients who came from the interior when the great inland lakes dried up. Archaeologists have dated Native American sites near the Marine Room and La Jolla Shores with Carbon 14 to almost 10,000 years ago. There sites out under the water from before the oceans rose that may be even older. The shoreline at The Cove and The Shores has been pretty much the same for the past 3,000 years. But if you go back 6,000 years, the local seashore was 15 feet lower; at 8,000 years, 50 feet lower; at 10,000 years, 100 feet lower; and at 20,000 years 360 feet lower. There are at least three Native American sites out from The Shores at about 6 feet, 20 feet, and 100 feet of water that correspond to where the shoreline stabilized for periods of time. Scuba divers report them from time to time. Mut Lah-hoy-yah La Hoy-yah extended from the Marine Room to La Jolla Shores past Scripps and up to the bluffs of SEE EARLIEST RESIDENTS, B16

This drawing comes from the book ‘Salt Water Boy’ by Melicent Lee, and was reportedly done by her daughter. It depicts activities of La Jolla’s earliest settlers, known as the Kumeyay ‘Indians.’
any people think that the name of our fair town — “La Jolla” — is derived from the Spanish word “Joya” meaning “Jewel.” I must confess that I once thought that. But actually, if you trace it back, the name La Jolla (which is on all the oldest maps) comes from the Kumeyay Indian word for this place, “Mut Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-yah.” In the Kumeyay language, “Mut” means place or land. Lah-hoy-yah means sea cave. Saying Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-ya quickly is like using our plural “s.” Hence, Mut Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-yah means “Place or Land of the Sea Caves.” It fits, if you think about it. The caves near La Jolla Cove are
quite famous and distinctive. They are carved by the waves from some of the oldest rocks in San Diego County — rocks almost 75 million years old! The kayak tours from La Jolla Shores always end up at the Caves. There is one cave you can actually paddle inside. You can also walk down into one of one them, “The Sunny Jim Cave,” from the La Jolla Shell Shop.

Hanging Zen
Author will compare surfing to meditation at Wills book reading BY COREY LEVITAN If you’ve ever sensed something deeply mystical about surfing, you’re not alone. Jaimal Yogis has published his second memoir connecting the pursuit of the perfect wave with the pursuit of enlightenment. The 37-year-old surfing enthusiast and Buddhist teacher, who lives in the Bay Area, will read from “All Our Waves are Water: Stumbling Toward Enlightenment and the Perfect Ride” (Harper Collins) at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23 at D.G. Wills Books, 7461 Girard Ave. “There are so many parallels between surfing and meditation, I don’t even know where to start,” Yogis explained. “In Buddhism, meditation is not just sitting there. Sitting meditation is just one form of mindfulness. The Buddha was very clear about this. You should also be mindful when walking, when lying down, when speaking. And so, everything is really an opportunity for mindfulness practice. “But there are certain things that lend themselves to being present more than others, and surfing is really high on that list because the ocean is so dynamic that it requires hyperpresence,” he said. Raised a military brat in the Azores and Sacramento, Yogis — who says his last name
“
There are certain things that lend themselves to being present more than others, and surfing is really high on that list because the ocean is so dynamic that it requires hyperpresence.
”
— Jaimal Yogis is Lithuanian and only sounds coincidentally spiritual — ran away from home at age 16. “My parents had divorced and I was rebelling,” he said. “I got into a lot of trouble.” On his own in Hawaii, Yogis began to learn to surf and practice Zen Buddhism. Upon returning to California, he studied to become a monk at a Zen monastery, but ultimately decided to attend college instead of getting ordained. It’s the period Yogis covered in his 2009 book, “Saltwater
Buddha: A Surfer’s Quest to Find Zen on the Sea,” which Yogis also turned into an autobiographical 2015 documentary. “All Our Waves Are Water” picks up the story as Yogis treks from the Himalayas to Indonesia to New York, in his 20s, to seek a truth that was inside him the whole time. “The point is that nirvana is not something to achieve but is right here, right now, in your ordinary life,” he said. Yogis’ visit to La Jolla will be one of a few he makes each year to visit a cousin who lives here. “The water’s beautiful and the people seem ridiculously happy,” Yogis said. “If there’s anything wrong with (La Jolla), it just seems like it’s too perfect.” ■ ON THE WEB: jaimalyogis.com

Let’s Talk About Home Care. 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.

Part 1 of artist’s ‘Library Duet’ opens at Athenaeum BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Born in Detroit and raised in New York City, multimedia artist Joyce Cutler-Shaw is best known for her drawings, artist’s books and installations. Since 1959, when her husband first came here on business and didn’t want to leave, she has made a life in La Jolla and shown her work around the world. She is now about to have a two-part retrospective — a “Library Duet” — at two local venues that have been very important to her: the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and UC San Diego’s Geisel Library. The Athenaeum will begin the Duet on Sept. 22 with an exhibition of Cutler-Shaw’s artist’s books, including slide-out, large-format, and accordion-fold books, several of which were part of her last solo show there, “What Comes to Mind,” in 2013. “Joyce has been a constant at the Athenaeum for a long time,” said Erika Torri, the Athenaeum executive director. “Early on, she concentrated on artist’s books and we have 122 of them in our permanent collection, the largest collection anywhere. She is extremely prolific and talented in many different ways and we are proud to be part of her creative legacy.” Of her work, Cutler-Shaw has written: “My subjects are human identity and the natural world. My themes are evolution, survival and transformation ... Drawing is at the heart of my work — drawing as a way of knowing, as a mode of inquiry, as a visual language.” In 1969, when UCSD started a graduate program in Visual Arts, she rushed to enroll,

Joyce Cutler-Shaw in 2013, contemplating one of the brain scans in her Athenaeum exhibit ‘What Comes to Mind.’ receiving her MFA in 1972. Fascinated with anatomy, she became artist-in-residence at UCSD School of Medicine, a position she created and held from 1992 to 2017. During her residency, she produced “The Anatomy Lesson,” a series of drawings that explore the human body in compassionate detail. In 2010, she was one of 50 distinguished alumni honored on the University’s 50th anniversary for contributions to their communities and the world. Cutler-Shaw’s “Alphabet of Bones,” an original calligraphy piece inspired by the leg bones of messenger pigeons, is permanently on display at the Geisel Library, where Part 2 of the Library Duet will open Oct. 5. The
exhibit will focus on her “Brain Project,” which features brain scans and handwriting samples that show her increasing deterioration since being diagnosed with Corticobasal Syndrome, a rare neurological disease that has affected her verbal and motor skills. She can’t draw anymore, but continues to work on her archives — decades of writings, drawings, photos, project proposals and audio/video recordings preserved in the Library’s Special Collections. “I’m amazed at everything I’ve done,” she said. Last year, her MFA classmate, photographer Becky Cohen, created an award-winning 30-minute documentary

FROM EARLIEST RESIDENTS, B6 La Jolla Farms Road. The focus of activity in a Native village was never stationary, but moved around according to the season. Archeologists call one of the main areas of Mut Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-yah the “The Spindrift Site,” after the street where the Marine Room sits. This site extends all the way back to Torrey Pines Road and over to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club.
Permits to dig
At Spindrift, there are still many Native American artifacts in the ground. Ed Weissman, who lives on Spindrift, jokingly remarked, “You need a permit from the City if you want to dig in your garden or put in a new fence!” This permit process is one of the ways scientists are rediscovering this site, which was first excavated by San Diego archaeologist Malcolm Rogers in the 1920s. Rogers was the one who dug up the famous skull of Del Mar Man from a bluff near the Del Mar Racetrack. Way back into prehistory, the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club property was a fresh water marsh. Its pond is all that is left of that marsh. Until about 1920, there were tall sand dunes at La Jolla Shores beach that were almost 25 feet above the water line. In 1920, real estate developers bulldozed the dunes down into the marsh with steam shovels and dump trucks to make it easier to build homes. But they soon ran into all kinds of artifacts and human bones from historic burials. The foreman stopped the work and called Edgar Lee Hewett, the first director of the San Diego
Tule-boat fishing Museum of Man. But Hewitt did not believe that Early Man came to San Diego, and thought the bones unimportant, so he told the foreman, “Throw the bones into the marsh!” Luckily, archeologist Rogers was able to salvage some of the artifacts, but grubbing the La Jolla Shores sand dunes destroyed the most important archaeological site in all of Southern California! Up the beach, just north of Scripps Pier at the base of the bluffs, Carl Hubbs, a renowned oceanographer from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), discovered another ancient Native American site during the 1950s. Still another important extension of Mut Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-yah can be seen if you walk the circular trail of the Scripps UC
Reserve, off La Jolla Farms Road. You can see shell middens and milling stations where the Native Americans ate shell fish and made stone tools. There is incredible view of La Jolla and far out to sea from up there. It is a very spiritual place. During the 1920s, Rogers made it a point to walk around up there after any rains because the rain usually uncovered bones or artifacts. Archaeologists have also found several burial sites under the UCSD Chancellor’s House, also on La Jolla Farms Road. The house overlooks the road down Black’s Canyon to Black’s Beach. One was a double burial of a man and a woman laid out back to back. The bones of both showed they had a good diet without any vitamin/mineral
deficiencies or nutritional-related diseases. The man’s bones revealed he had well-developed muscles in his right arm from throwing a spear. He also had exostoses (thickening of the bone around the ear canal) from being in the water so much over many years. This disorder affects long-time surfers to this day. The woman had all kinds of distortions on her teeth from pulling plant fibers through them so as to soften the fibers for making baskets.

Does America Have a “Winning” Problem? Survival of the fittest. It’s a dog-eat-dog world. Second place is the first loser. These idiomatic expressions are so ingrained in the American culture that they have become clichés. But that doesn’t mean that the ideas behind these expressions have become obsolete. In fact, the opposite seems to be true. Winning versus losing is instilled early, through youth sports and playground games. And it’s not to say that some competition isn’t healthy, but somewhere along the way, motivation turned into obsession. In his book Winning: Reflections on an American Obsession, Francesco Duina cites a World Values Survey showing that Americans value competition without reservations at 29%, with an overall favorable view of competition coming in at 46%.
While these numbers may seem relatively small, they are much higher than any other industrialized nation. But one aspect that Duina hits on is especially telling—that Americans also believe in the fairness of unequal outcomes, meaning that people who “win” are deserving, and that’s just too bad for the “losers.” Seven years after Duina’s book was published, the urgency of classifying winners versus losers has seemed to increase to a fervor we haven’t previously seen. Taking sports alone, somewhere around $4.7 billion was wagered over the Super Bowl this year, and experts estimate that $93 billion is wagered illegally on football alone throughout the year. This is a tremendous amount of time spent on winning and losing. Winning is an outcome, and the focus extends well beyond sports to wars and to business to social media. People size each other up to see who has what, who is better at what, and who has more of what, whether it’s a larger office, more clients, or more followers. People who are obsessed with winning seek only to achieve winning as an outcome, rather than to benefit from the whole experience or interaction. When winning becomes an obsession for people, they see their own value and worth only in terms of
that end goal, that prize. There is a transition from “proving yourself” to “proving you are better than anyone else,” and from there, it’s not a small jump to saying, “you are better than all those losers.” It indeed becomes a power struggle. And the power of winning can become as addictive as a drug. The pressure mounts to repeat the victories, to hold the title of “best.” And then a whole life is spent looking back over the shoulder in order to stay ahead of the competition. Furthermore, when we begin to classify people as “losers,” we are immediately devaluing them, in their sport, their endeavor, their business, but also as human beings. It’s a way to separate out groups, to make a section of “others,” the have-nots. For those who lump themselves with the “winning” group, there is a tendency toward self-absorption and downright selfishness. This can extend to all-out narcissism. Too bad for them, let them eat cake—these glib sayings reflect that extreme selfabsorption. Lately, we see a trend toward people assuming if people aren’t on the winning side, then they have probably gotten what they deserve. Somewhere along the line, the old Protestant ethic of work hard and be rewarded came to mean that anyone who experiences a setback or a loss must not have worked hard enough. This assumes that all people have the benefits of starting at the same line, and that those
who have succeeded must have earned their way there, must be more deserving than others. We know there are many factors that lead to successes as well as setbacks and that the starting line isn’t set equally for everyone. Additionally, many statistical findings reveal that winning doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. Oftentimes, there is more stress to be had when the sole goal is to win. Classifying others as losers leads to resentment, to defensiveness, and at times, even a sense of paranoia that at any moment someone from the loser group will come to snatch what has been won. This way of thinking is the opposite of empathy. It’s the opposite of team spirit. It is isolating. Most studies show that children who learn to cooperate rather than compete have higher success rates as well as happiness. They learn to work together to achieve a goal that is mutually-beneficial to the group. If the focus is too much on winning, children can be exposed to additional pressure, embarrassment if they lose, and loss of self-esteem. So while competition can be both fun and constructive, far too often it becomes a zero-sum race that leads to dissatisfaction, stress, and a dismantling of the empathy that leads people to care about others and create bonds, which goes much farther than winning to increase happiness.

new 2017 VW Jetta S Cooking fish mammals (seals and sea otters), but later switched to a diet of primarily shellfish. By far the favorite shellfish was mussel, which the Natives pried off rocks. They also ate abalone and pismo clams. Bean clam soup was another favorite. Fish, like bass, rockfish, and sheepshead were caught from shore or from tule boats with abalone hooks and hand lines made from yucca fibers. The fish were cooked on a stick over an open fire or smoked. Back then, it was cooler and wetter with more rain in La Jolla. Torrey Pine trees were everywhere. And there were lots of ferns. The Native people dressed simply. Men wore plant-fiber loin cloths and women wore dresses made of willow bark strips. In winter, they put on robes made from seal, sea otter and pelican skin. For jewelry, a shell

bracelet or a necklace made from olivella shells (with a pismo clam as a centerpiece) was thought to be attractive. The village of Mut Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-yah is described in a fictionalized young adult novel, “Salt Water Boy,” written by Melicent Lee during the 1940s. It’s based on her interviews with Native American informants. The book is out-of-print, but another she wrote, called “Indians of the Oaks,” is still available and widely read. The next time you’re down at The Shores or The Cove, and someone visiting from the East Coast asks you if you live in La Jolla, give the historically accurate answer, “Why, no ... I’m from Mut Lah-hoy-yah Lah-hoy-yah, the village in the Land of the Sea Caves!”

FROM ON BROADWAY, B1 directly from the plays. I express my ideas through collage, so if an image pops into my head or is found in my research — even if I can’t explain it — I’ll arrange it in a composition. I try to bring out the music of the text. All plays have a musicality to them.” When it comes to historical research, Dolan said some costumes are “more straightforward” than others because they come from actual periods of time and places, others use historical entities and combine them in unique ways. Dolan designed costumes for three different productions of “Candide” in three different decades (1982, 1997 and 2017), and she won a Tony Award for her 1997 work. “At the exhibit, you’ll see my renderings from the different years and, for the first time, from this year, which have been redesigned. Costumes are never stable. They have to adapt to time, culture and audience,” she said. Sketches and images from “Macbeth” were included, Dolan said, because the production was “so outside the box” and produced at a little theater in Texas. “You’re not always allowed to go that far with costume design, but when you get to work with a small, edgy theater, I enjoy exercising those off-the-wall muscles,” she said. “What is shown (in this exhibit) is beautiful and interesting, and there are a lot of different productions, so there is something for everyone.” She added that she’s “excited” and “humbled” by the exhibit and believes the arrangement has “an elegance to it.” Prior to his time at the Historical Society, Fox was assistant dean of arts & humanities at UC San Diego. In that role, he worked with Dolan on the dean’s staff. “When I started here, I knew of her work and I saw in that, the potential for a very interesting exhibition, and it’s certainly shaping up to be that,” he said. Accompanying the Dolan work is a look at the evolution of performing arts in La Jolla,

The town has disappeared because it was owned by Bethlehem Steel, one of the last corporation-owned Judith Dolan steel towns. ■ Family: Married to actor/novelist Raymond Hardie, two sons Benjamin and Sam ■ Advice to new designers: “Drawing is thinking.

dating back as far as the 1890s, using information and images from LJHS archives. “Before World War I, local citizens formed their own theater groups and put on plays and brought in musical performances. Then, of course, there were organizations that developed. Many did not last long, but some evolved into the entities we know in La Jolla today, including La Jolla Playhouse, La Jolla Music Society, and La Jolla Symphony & Chorus,” Fox said. “There is a long history of performing arts in this community.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Judith Dolan: On Broadway” opens with a reception for members of the La Jolla Historical Society and guests, 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, which Dolan will attend.

THIS JUST IN! Corridor Project Phase II delayed
The second phase of the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project has been delayed a few months and will begin in early 2018. The plan was originally to start work on the roadway improvements in the coming weeks. Engineers still plan to have the enhancements complete by Memorial Day 2018. The Corridor Project will address both sides of Torrey Pines Road between Prospect Place and La Jolla Shores Drive, and create continuity of the sidewalk and buffered bike lanes, install a pedestrian-activated crosswalk known as a HAWK signal, lay a flat median in the middle of the road and post a stabilizing wall.
UCSD launches transportation design challenge
The UC San Diego Design Lab started a city-wide civic design challenge called “Design for San Diego,” or D4SD for short. The challenge seeks to harness the power of crowdsourcing and human-centered design to address concerns with transportation and mobility in San Diego. Steven Dow, assistant professor of cognitive science at UCSD, who is directing D4SD as part of the Qualcomm Institute-based Design Lab, said the challenge is focused on four related areas: 1) Enhancing the commuter experience; 2) Promoting walkable and bike-able communities; 3) Improving accessibility; and 4) Preparing for a future with autonomous vehicles. On Sept. 21, the D4SD kick-off event will be held downtown featuring San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla and Design Lab Director Don Norman. The challenge begins the next day, Sept. 22, with a design sprint and hackathon, also at Downtown Works, for participants to generate ideas, form teams and rapidly prototype a concept. Teams that enter the challenge will showcase their solutions Oct. 25-26 at the Design Forward 2017 Summit in Liberty Station. The best solutions will earn prizes and private, one-on-one meetings with start-up investors. To learn more and/or register, visit d4sd.org
