BY ASHLEY MACKIN A City of San Diego request to convert four angled public parking places adjacent to Scripps Park into yellow commercial loading zones raised a few eyebrows at La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory group (LJT&T) meeting Sept. 21. Seeking a compromise, the board ultimately decided to approve the conversion of one parking space on a one-year trial basis. Yellow commercial loading zones allow for 20-minute parking of vehicles with commercial license plates. Conventionally, the 20-minute limitation expires at 6 p.m. and does not apply on Sundays. Applicant Michael Ruiz, a city park ranger for shoreline parks, said he has seen an increase in events that obviate the need for a commercial loading zone. “As park managers, our goal is to balance all the needs of the park. … And the number of events that take place in Scripps Park present a need for commercial parking. The Bridge Club alone hosts events on a weekly basis.” He added there are more than 50 large events scheduled at the park for calendar year 2016. Should an event, such as a wedding, concert or fundraiser, require vendors to unload rentals, the current situation forces drivers to double park their trucks or illegally drive them onto the park itself. “For us, that is the worst-case scenario because we don’t want a park-goer to get hit,” Ruiz said. He said the practice has long taken place, but with the posting of more park rangers, there can be more enforcement. Commercial trucks are prohibited from driving onto the park, unless it is for a “special event” with a city-appointed event manager. An event can only be classified as a “special event” if the number of attendees is expected to be beyond the capacity of the park (i.e. Fourth of July fireworks, Concours d’Elegance SEE LOADING ZONE, A4
Board designates black pioneer’s La Jolla home ‘historical’ BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Edgar Coleman was an entrepreneur and an African-American pioneer of La Jolla who worked as a gardener, a janitor and a realtor in his time. “He eventually owned three trucks and was often hired to move old cottages that made land available for the building of the La Valencia Hotel,” reads a chapter of the book “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers and Pioneer Descendants 1880-1974,” which is dedicated to him. One of the book’s authors, Lorenza Taylor-Pace, is Coleman’s granddaughter. “He was some kind of a guy. My grandfather Ed was a real strong person in the community, very well thought of. At one time he
owned four lots on Draper Street,” she said. The Historical Resources Board (HRB) designated the Ed and Carrie Coleman Residence as “historical” during its Sept. 20 meeting at the City Concourse Building downtown. The property includes two cottages that were moved there and one on-site development. The Coleman family lived in one of the cottages and rented out the other two. “He lived there until he died in 1979,” said Taylor-Pace. The property came before the HRB for consideration “by the owner, as part of a constraints analysis for future sale of the property,” as the staff SEE HISTORICAL HOME, A6

The civil engineer in Joe LaCava private practice was recognized last week with a civic proclamation declaring Sept. 20, 2016 “Joe LaCava Day” in the City of San Diego. Following the announcement, City Council President Sherri Lightner said of the community booster, “He is the go-to person in La Jolla ... and in the city, now that I think about it.”

FROM LOADING ZONE, A1 car show and La Jolla Half Marathon). In addition to the major events, Ruiz said there are approximately 100 smaller events for which vendors could use the commercial parking space, in addition to its use by workers who conduct regular maintenance at The Bridge Club such as gardeners, plumbers, etc. Although the city requested four spaces, with restrictions in effect seven days a week — a deviation from the normal restrictions on yellow commercial zones, which do not apply on Sundays — Ruiz said anything that provides an alternative to what is currently taking place would help. “We would be happy with anything that creates an option,” he said. A motion to support the conversion of one parking space into a yellow commercial loading zone with standard restrictions (8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday) for a one-year test run, was approved 7-2.
In other T&T news: ■ La Jolla Mesa stop sign denied: After taking the conventional approach to establishing an all-way Stop at La Jolla Mesa Boulevard at Skylark Drive and being denied, representatives from the homeowner’s association appealed to LJT&T in an alternative process. LJT&T chair Dave Abrams
ASHLEY MACKIN
Shoreline park ranger Michael Ruiz requests a commercial loading zone for Scripps Park. explained to the group that when a neighborhood applies for a stop sign, “The city conducts an analysis to look at the features and characteristics of the intersection, and assigns ‘points.’ “These points, or warrants, indicate whether the area warrants a stop sign. To warrant a stop sign, 20 points are required. In this case, the proposal achieved nine points. Residents are coming to us with the hopes the city will see there are other circumstances that warrant a stop sign and override the study.” Providing a lay of the land, resident Steve Johnson said La Jolla Mesa starts at the top of a hill near La Jolla Scenic Drive and goes all the way down to Pacific Beach with no stop signs. Drivers speed up the hill and then even more so going down the hill. “Pulling out from Skylark is a challenge,” he said. “There are also designated bike paths on the street.” Further, he argued, there is only
a usable sidewalk on one side of the street, so those who wish to walk to Pacific Beach have to use that side of the street. For some, that means crossing a street subject to speedy drivers and low visibility. Residents in attendance reported there have been two fatalities in the last 25 years, and recently, a couple crossing the street with their toddler in a stroller, were nearly hit. Although empathetic, the board could not justify the installation of a stop sign. “The city appoints these warrants for a reason, and when you put a stop sign in a location where it shouldn’t be, you create more problems than you solve,” Abrams said. “It’s like killing a fly with a sledgehammer. My concern is people will blow through that stop sign, and when you rely on that to create a safe place to cross the street, it can create a hazard.” He encouraged an alternative, such as a pedestrian-activated crosswalk (similar to the one that crosses La Jolla Boulevard at Westbourne Street), or blinking speed limit indicator sign (similar to ones found on Torrey Pines Road). LJT&T member Tom Brady added, “I sympathize with the problem, because the traffic on that street goes so damn fast. It’s dangerous to turn left off of Skylark turning left to come into the Village, but I don’t think we as a
board can make findings in support of residents, because of the city’s warrants.” He moved to deny the request, and suggested the residents seek an alternative for the safety of pedestrians, which passed 8-1. ■ Church fall fest expands: The third annual La Jolla Presbyterian Church Fall Festival, Nov. 6 (previously confined to the church campus), will expand to the Rec Center and Draper Avenue this year, following a request from church representative Erika Hill. “We want to make it more of a community event this year, so our plan is to have childrens activities at the Rec Center with jumpy houses, pony rides, face painting and more, and food trucks and tables set up on Draper Avenue,” she said. Hill requested a street closure 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6 along Draper Avenue between Kline and Prospect streets. Though the event will run 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the extra time is for cleanup and break down. The festival is free to attend, but an all-access wristband for children is $10. The church will provide garbage cans and custodial staff for the event. Hill said she received verbal support from other businesses on that block, including La Jolla Woman’s Club and The Bed & Breakfast Inn.
When questioned about the use of food trucks, which are reportedly not allowed in La Jolla’s Planned District, Hill said she spoke to city staff “multiple times” to note the reason for the closure would be for food trucks, and no objection was stated. A motion to approve the street closure, pending receipt of written approval from the Woman’s Club and The Bed & Breakfast Inn, passed unanimously. ■ Pantai alley to close for event: A request for temporary street closure of Ocean Lane between Coast Boulevard and Coast Boulevard South related to a private automotive event at the Pantai Inn Dec. 4-11 was also approved. Applicant Mike Murrell said the event is a roll-out for the 2017 Subaru Impreza, during which three groups of journalists, photographers and engineers (60 at a time) will stay at Pantai Inn to explore the new models. The cars will be on display in the eight private parking spaces on Ocean Lane and the guests would drive them around San Diego. No public parking would be taken up as part of this event, and the alley would still be open for pedestrian access. A motion to support the closure passed unanimously. — LJT&T next meets 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org
The Basic Rules of Seller’s Disclosures Seller disclosure is a tricky maze to navigate. If you’ve recently decided to put your home on the market, you might feel hesitant to reveal problems (minor though they might be) which could discourage potential buyers. But not revealing them could get you in a world of legal trouble. So how much do you really need to disclose? And how detailed do you need to be? We’d love to give you a concrete answer, but the following are some general rules; 1. When in doubt, disclose 2. Always disclose inspection reports 3. What you don’t know won’t hurt you 4. And if you don’t know, don’t guess.

City seeks to sell lot permitters say could become a park
ASHLEY MACKIN
City of San Diego property agent Dena Boylan (right) shows maps and photos of the empty lot in question to DPR member Mike Costello.
BY ASHLEY MACKIN In 1957, the City of San Diego acquired a parcel of land that straddles the border of Pacific Beach and La Jolla (at the northeast corner of Cass Street and Van Nuys Street) with the intent of extending the nearby Rutgers Road. Nearly 60 years have passed and the street has not been developed in the residential area, so the city has requested a street vacation to release the property and sell it on the open market. Although the majority of the property sits in Pacific Beach, a small corner lies within La Jolla, so City of San Diego property agent Dena Boylan and city asset manager Mary Carlson presented the request to La Jolla’s Development Permit Review (DPR) committee during its Sept. 20 meeting at the Rec Center. Since DPR did not have a quorum for a vote, those present just heard the preliminary presentation. The applicants reportedly already presented to the applicable Pacific Beach planning groups and received approval for the street vacation. “(This property) was originally purchased by the city from a private owner to extend the Rutgers Road. Since the city has deemed it is no longer going to create that street, it has been deemed excess property,” Boylan said. The property is about 5,600 square feet and has “quite a slope to it,” she added. Currently, the Rutgers Road extension is listed as a “paper street,” which means it exists on a map, but not in reality. The only person who has expressed interest in purchasing the lot is an adjacent property owner, who has not announced what would be done with the property. Carlson noted any future development would be handled through Development Services, and could not be addressed as part of the afternoon’s presentation. However, DPR member Angeles Liera
and others questioned whether the property could be used for a city pocket park or a dog park. Carlson explained that before the city goes to sell excess property, “We route it to all city departments to see if any has a purpose for that property. We did that two years ago and no city department expressed any interest in retaining the property. If the department of Park & Rec says it would like to build a mini-park there, then by all means, we would retain the property and not sell it.” The residents were notified in July that a street vacation was being sought, and Boylan said she has not heard from anyone with interest in making the property into a park. However, DPR members still had questions about what might be done with the hilly plot. Liera commented, “It’s important to ask about the type of development that could go there, because once it’s vacated and once someone buys it, something could go there and we don’t know what that is. What would happen if the neighborhood didn’t have access to city parks? What if there was a need for something like that? It could be that the neighbors are perfectly happy with the street vacation and possible development, and don’t need anything, but we don’t know.” Noting the popularity of the dog park on Soledad Mountain Road, DPR member Mike Costello said he “couldn’t imagine” a dog park wouldn’t be popular and well used. Because the board could not vote on the project, the applicants agreed to return with information about potential development and comments from the Pacific Beach planning groups. It was also recommended they make a presentation about the lot to La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory board at a future meeting. — DPR next meets 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

FROM HISTORICAL HOME, A1 report of the property states. An independent survey by IS Architects and the staff report both recommended the property be designated “historical” under HRB Criterion A. “The resource reflects a special element of La Jolla’s historical, cultural, social and economic development and retains integrity to the circa 1946-1957 period of significance, the time period in which the structures were relocated or constructed on the site,” the staff report continues. “Specifically, the structures represent the entrepreneurial efforts of La Jolla black pioneer Edgar Coleman and retain integrity for an association with La Jolla’s black community.” However, during the hearing, Patrick Hattori, attorney and commercial director at KW Commercial (“the commercial real estate arm of Keller Williams Realty,” as stated on its website), made a case for the board to dismiss the designation. “He was a gardener, that’s not unusual or significant, there’s nothing special about it,” Hattori argued. “There’s no special element, whether it’s social, economic or historical. “There were alterations to the (buildings), which were not original to the properties because they were moved. And also, just because he’s black, that’s not a good enough reason to designate this property as ‘historical.’ ” During the public comment portion of the meeting, Diane Kane (architecture historian and chair of the Preservation Committee of La Jolla Historical Society) spoke out for the designation, arguing, “Mr. Coleman’s entrepreneurship is representative of that trend in the immediate
them to his own lots on Draper Avenue. He completely refurbished and restored the cottages and made them available as a rental unit.” Added granddaughter Taylor-Pace, “That’s how all those little cottages got there, which are all gone except the lot he lived on. At one point, he tore down the stables at The Bishop’s School, and moved the wood onto one of his lots, and then he built bedrooms out of that lumber and those were our bedrooms.” In 1923, her mother, Madie Lee, was the first black female to attend La Jolla High School. “She was not happy there, because back in those days, it might have been prejudiced that it was not right, but she went there. She had no friends, there weren’t any other black females.”

Edgar Coleman moves a cottage to make space for La Valencia hotel in 1926. Edgar is at the rear of the house, his father, Will, is at the front and his son, Frank, is the truck driver. Post-War period, when a severe material shortage led to scavenging of available construction materials to accommodate the pent-up demand for affordable housing.” During discussion, HRB chair Courtney Ann Coyle expressed her support for the designation, “This is in my neighborhood in La Jolla, so I’m very familiar with this area. … I’m happy to see this designation coming because we have lost a lot of our earliest structures in La Jolla, so that makes this a rare example.” A motion to designate the property “historical” passed unanimously, and included all three buildings on the property. The first house, at 7510 Draper Ave., is a one-story stucco vernacular beach cottage constructed in 1906 and relocated from an unknown site. The second structure, 7512-7514 Draper Ave., was constructed in 1905 and moved to the rear of the first building (also from an unknown site) in the late 1940s. The third building, at 7516-7516 and 1/2 Draper
Edgar Coleman moved to La Jolla in 1919 from Baskerville, Arkansas. His wife, Carrie, and his children, Madie Lee and Frank, joined him one year later. His entrepreneurial efforts illustrate the existence of an African-American community that once provided a wide range of domestic services in La Jolla. Kane explained that the designated property is one of few African-American resources that have been officially recognized. “This complex adds to our understanding of their presence in and their contribution to the community,” she said. As the “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers and Pioneer Descendants 1880-1974” book states, Coleman purchased several lots in the La Jolla Park Subdivision, and those were zoned for multiple units. “He bought some of the cottages and moved

Research on Criterion B, the standard the HRB uses for designating historical properties related to an individual or an event for its significance, was carried out by Kane and handed to board members at the Sept. 20 meeting. Her study found that the ability to designate historic resources under Criterion B has decreased since it was introduced in 2000. “This has been especially acute during the past three years, when it has become almost impossible to get anything designated under Criterion B,” her report reads. Recent debate on the still-to-be-determined historical designation of the late Nobel Prize winner Maria Goeppert Mayer’s home at 2345 Via Siena in La Jolla, prompted the discussion. The Criterion B guidelines will be further addressed at the next Policy Subcommittee meeting of the HRB, 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10 at Conference Room 4C on the fourth floor of Development Services, City Concourse Building, 202 C St.

Inflammation and the development of cancer
W
cells — is abnormal, nothing good can result, but a lot of bad things may happen. In recent years, scientific evidence connecting metabolic dysfunction to numerous, diverse diseases has accumulated with speeding frequency. The importance of this research, with its massive social implications, is one of the reasons UC San Diego School of Medicine launched this year the Institute for Diabetes and Metabolic Health, whose four centers reflect the spectrum of concern and interest: Type 1 diabetes, basic research, human nutrition and clinical care. The institute is headed by Alan Saltiel, one of the nation’s leading metabolics researchers. Excess weight is an established risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Obesity itself causes an inflammatory state in metabolic tissues, a sort of low-grade, chronic state of war within the body. It’s even worse than it sounds. Inflammation, as my colleague Michael Karin and others have shown, promotes the development of cancer. Most patients with type 2 diabetes are obese, and the global epidemic of obesity largely explains the dramatic rise of type 2 diabetes over the last 20 years. More than one-third of American adults are obese and more than 10 percent of people over age 20 have diabetes, both numbers projected to increase over time. Of course, not everybody who is obese

hen you have diabetes, your body cannot produce enough or effectively use the hormone insulin to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. The resulting complications are widespread and notorious, from stroke, blindness and kidney failure to nerve damage, skin problems, dental issues and loss of limb. Diabetes kills or contributes to the deaths of more than 230,000 Americans each year. It is a great and growing public health threat. Nearly 30 million Americans are estimated to have the disease; three times that number are pre-diabetic. They have some of the symptoms. They are on the cusp. The simplest way to treat the condition — or better yet, prevent it — is to eat a healthy, balanced diet and exercise regularly. This is advice we’ve all heard. What is less well understood and perhaps under-appreciated is the deeper pathology driving not just diabetes, but many modern maladies, from an obesity epidemic with no end in sight to this nation’s two greatest killers — heart disease and cancer. Diabetes is a disease of the metabolism, a term describing the sum of all the chemical reactions that take place within every cell to provide the energy necessary to maintain function and life. If your metabolism — or more precisely, the metabolic state within your
develops diabetes. Not everybody who drinks alcohol develops cirrhosis of the liver. But people with diabetes are more often diagnosed with some types of cancer and more likely to die from cancer than people without diabetes. Some of that increase may be due to the likelihood that these patients being more closely followed by their doctors, but an overabundance of insulin due to metabolic dysfunction may be promoting the growth of cancer cells, particularly in organs like the pancreas, liver, kidney and thyroid. There is a bright side. The intersection between diabetes and cancer offers ways to attack the latter. For example, metformin is a common frontline drug for treating some kinds of type 2 diabetes. It works by boosting the liver’s sensitivity to insulin, reducing overproduction of glucose. New studies suggest it may be effective in treating or preventing a variety of cancers, including colorectal, prostate, endometrial and breast. Saltiel with colleagues at Moores Cancer Center are investigating whether established diabetes drugs might also treat cancer. They are also conducting clinical trials to explore how much cancer risk is reduced by increased physical activity and whether weight loss programs and routine exercise might protect overweight or obese cancer survivors from tumor relapse. Diabetes and cancer are just two heads of a many-headed monster. To kill the beast, we must fight both — and other related conditions — smartly and simultaneously.

La Jolla Playhouse dedicates ‘Molli and Arthur Wagner Walk’
I
n a ceremony held Monday, Sept. 26, a newly-designated walkway was unveiled in honor of Arthur Wagner, founding chair of the UC San Diego Department of Theatre and Dance, and his wife, Molli. About 50 people witnessed the ribbon-cutting ceremony that took place adjacent to the walk, which runs from the parking lot to the entrance of the La Jolla Playhouse, at 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, on the UCSD campus. The speakers praised the Wagners as true patrons of the arts and remembered the late Arthur (who died in 2015 at age 92) with anecdotes and stories. For the event, the walk was embellished with patio-like furniture and a series of signs sporting photographs of the couple that chronicled their lives and contributions to the arts. — María José Durán

Representatives from the more than 40 community planning groups across San Diego join San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and City Council President Sherri Lightner (left, holding proclamation) in proclaiming Sept. 20, 2016, “Community Planning Group 50th Anniversary Day.”
With La Jolla in the forefront, city marks 50 years of community planning
BY ASHLEY MACKIN t a recent City Hall celebration commemorating the golden anniversary of Community Planning, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer called those who volunteer their time and effort to serve on local committees and boards, the city’s “unsung heroes.” Offering his thanks for their dedication, he said, “They are on the front lines to create a better city for all of us. For them, it’s not about fame, recognition or compensation. They do it because they love our city. Their effort makes San Diego a better place, now and in the future.” Joined by representatives from the city’s more than 40 community planning groups, the Mayor, Council President Sherri Lightner and Councilmember Lorie Zapf proclaimed Sept. 20, 2016, “Community Planning Group 50th Anniversary Day” in the City of San Diego. And the roots of this half-century old community advisory system, are in La Jolla. Established to allow citizens to provide input on development in their communities, area planning groups were formalized in 1966, when the San Diego City Council approved Council Policy 600-5. This policy authorized the Planning Commission to form citizen organizations (called community planning groups) to coordinate and cooperate with city staff on planning and development programs. Lightner, a La Jolla resident, spoke about her district’s importance during the
A
anniversary celebration. “To serve your community in this way takes time, dedication and love of your neighborhood. Knowing that, I want to commend everyone who has served now and in the past,” she said. “The idea of communities participating in city planning is not new, but it was new in La Jolla in the 1960s when a group of citizens formed La Jollans, Inc. and got the ball rolling to make the planning group process official in the city.” Karl ZoBell, one of the founding members of La Jollans, Inc., said the idea started when a group of residents wanted to see a plan for future potential development in the 1960s. Since community members formed the La Jolla Town Council in 1950, a pattern of activism had already been established. Current La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) president Cindy Greatrex explained, “La Jollans Inc. really started with UC San Diego expanding from Quonset huts and trailers in horse pastures to consistent building growth. Professors were needed and student housing and resources were needed. So with the expansion of the university, people started to move in, in big numbers, and the area began to grow in terms of commercial development. La Jollans Inc. was formed by residents predominantly in The Shores, who were worried about commercial development encroachment.” Taking cues from a group called San Diegans, Inc. — which formed to address
downtown development and problems — a group of Town Council trustees approached the City Council with a proposal for a community plan so all future developments could be measured against it. The city was quick to agree, given the alternative (commonplace at the time) was to have La Jollans show up at City Council meetings en masse if they objected to a project. They formed La Jollans, Inc. to raise the funds needed for the city-required research to draft a plan. Around that time, ZoBell added, “The (unofficial) planning groups became quite politically persuasive. We would rally together and became an irritant to the City Council and the Planning Department. As time went by, other groups in other communities were developed on the same model, to reflect their own thoughts and wishes.” In 1966, the City Council adopted the policy that gave credence to La Jolla’s planning group. (Soon after, other communities followed suit, and organized to become a city-recognized board.) The following year the first La Jolla Community Plan was drafted and approved. In the first few years, ZoBell said, La Jollans, Inc.’s purpose was to review proposed development for conformance to the new plan, and make a recommendation to the La Jolla Town Council, which would decide whether a proposal was in compliance. By 1972, the La Jolla Shores Precise Plan,
which was found within the La Jollans Inc. community plan, was accepted via resolution by the City, Greatrex said. “In 1974, the La Jolla Shores Design Manual was adopted as the official planning guide by the City of San Diego. The City adopted the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (PDO) as the implementing ordinance for this manual in the same year. In 1978 the Coastal Commission challenged the communities along the coast to adopt a community plan. In 1983, La Jollans Inc. developed the La Jolla Shores Local Coastal Program.” La Jollans, Inc. lasted through a few revisions of the La Jolla Community Plan before rebranding as La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) in 1992. Now, LJCPA is recognized by the city to make recommendations to the City Council, Planning Commission, city staff and other governmental agencies on land-use matters. Sub-groups of the LJCPA eventually formed to review particular issues and provide reports, i.e., La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation, and La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committees, which monthly submit their findings to LJCPA for ratification. Further, community planning groups for other neighborhoods within La Jolla have formed, including the Bird Rock Community Council and the La Jolla Shores Association. At these meetings, City Council representatives are often in attendance.

German Motors and Imports: ‘We do good work!’ BY DAVID L. CODDON Beamer sighting on Turquoise Street. Porsche, too. And Mercedes. And VW. Seeing a pattern? They all could be headed to or from German Motors and Imports, which has been servicing the best from Deutschland in Pacific Beach since 1959. This dates back to an original location (under a different name and owner) on Cass Street before current owners Richard Zins and Bernd Schwarzer merged the two locations into the one Turquoise site. Company-wise, it’s small, with a staff of six, including two technicians, though Zins and Schwarzer also can get “on the line,” according to Brenda Hamett, German Motors and Imports’ office manager. She’s been with the shop for 28 years. “It’s a good business. We’re honest. We do good work and we try to take care of our customers,” said Hamett, who herself drives a 2000 Mercedes E320. “I’ve got great bosses, and I’ve learned from all of them,” including service manager Dave Gilbert. “Dave taught me everything I know.” Talk with Hamett and you’re talking fine German automobiles. The shop does service other imports, like Volvos and Toyotas and

German Motors and Imports’ services include everything from tune-ups to brake repair, diagnostics, and work on computer and electrical systems. Lexuses — or would that be Lexi? But its schnitzel and noodles, you might say, is German vehicles. “Once you drive and own a German car, it’s really hard to drive anything else,” she said. “They drive great. You can’t compare to them.” German Motors and Imports’ services run the gamut from tune-ups and oil changes to brake repair, clutch repair, diagnostics and the ever more complex work on these
sophisticated vehicles’ computer and electrical systems. “You have to know all the control units and all the little brains embedded in the car now,” Hamett pointed out. “These newer cars are so complicated.” You will get what you pay for, she said. “We use factory and genuine stuff. We don’t put NAPA parts on our Mercedes or BMWs. You’re going to save on labor because we’re
™
always less than the dealer, but we still have to spend the time to do the job properly. We try to make it as cost-effective for the customer as we can.” Of course if you can afford to own a Mercedes or a BMW or a Porsche or an Audi, taking care of it the right way comes with the territory. “If you’re going to drive that kind of car,” said Hamett, “you are mentally prepared. You know they are going to be expensive to maintain and you have that in your mind.” Besides being hard workers, the folks at German Motors and Imports are good neighbors. Most every Thursday night, for example, they’re down the street at VFW Post 5985, supporting the veterans. Don’t be surprised, either, if when waiting for your car someone gives you a gift card to the nearby French Gourmet where you can get a coffee and a croissant. That’s neighborhood and international relations. German Motors and Imports, 986 Turquoise St., Pacific Beach. (858) 488-7878. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday.

heritable trait associated with neuroticism and depressive symptoms, but no one gene is responsible. Loneliness is linked to poor physical and mental health, and is an even more accurate predictor of early death than obesity. To better understand who is at risk, researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine conducted the first genome-wide association study for loneliness — as a life-long trait, not a temporary state. They discovered that risk for feeling lonely is partially due to genetics, but environment plays a bigger role. The study of more than 10,000 people, published Sept. 15 by Neuropsychopharmacology, also found that genetic risk for loneliness is associated with neuroticism and depressive symptoms. The research was led by Abraham Palmer, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry and vice chair for basic research at UC San Diego School of Medicine.
Barbey Family Emergency and Trauma Center

Scripps Health opens new ER/Trauma Center Scripps Health cut the ribbon Sept. 23 on a $33 million emergency department and trauma center at the Scripps Memorial Hospital campus. The 33,000-square-foot Barbey Family Emergency and Trauma Center is scheduled to go into operation on Monday, according to Scripps Health. The facility, which includes 51 beds and four ambulance bays, is located on the first floor of the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute at 9896 Genesee Ave. “Thanks to the generosity of the Barbey family, Scripps will be able to provide for the emergency needs of patients in the region for years to come,” said Scripps CEO Chris Van Gorder. “By expanding our emergency and trauma services, we are strengthening our mission to serve the health care needs of our community while offering the highest quality of care possible.” The facility also includes four trauma bays that can be expanded to eight in case of disaster, four psychiatric beds, four isolation rooms for infectious diseases and state-of-the-art imaging technology. The Barbey Family, which founded what’s now the VF Corp. apparel company and includes some La Jolla residents, donated funds to get the project underway. A major gift was also provided by the San Diego-based David Whitmire Hearst Jr. Foundation, to name the trauma area after Dr. Brent Eastman, a former Scripps chief medical officer and trauma surgeon. Hearst is a grandson of media mogul William Randolph Hearst.
Gov. Brown signs bill to stop cyberbullying Legislation by Assemblyman Matthew Harper (R-Huntington Beach) to suspend or expel students for posting harassing videos online was signed Sept. 21 by Gov. Jerry Brown. “It’s wrong to allow students who post harassing videos to go unpunished,” Harper said. “Almost every teenager has a smartphone that has the ability to record video. They need to understand that these tools shouldn’t be used for bullying. This new law sends the message that bullying is wrong and will not be tolerated.” Assembly Bill 2212 changes the definition of “bullying” in the Education Code to include the posting of a harassing video online. According to a study by Yale University, victims who have been bullied can be up to 9 times more likely to consider suicide. The legislation will take effect January 1, 2017.

Poll workers are needed for Nov. 8 election day Poll workers, especially those who are bilingual, are needed for the Nov. 8 Presidential General Election. The Registrar’s office is required by federal law to provide bilingual poll workers and voting materials to voters who speak Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese. To become a poll worker, applicants must be a U.S citizen and registered to vote in California, or lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States. Poll workers must have transportation to their assigned polling location, access to the internet to take an online training and attend a two-hour class in person. Poll workers receive a stipend ranging from $100 to $175 depending on the assignment and those who are bilingual receive an additional $15 if they are assigned to provide language assistance to voters. Prospective poll workers can apply online at sdvote.com. For more information, call (858) 565-5800 or e-mail pollworker@sdcounty.ca.gov
Hopkins/Salk funding comes to unravel bipolar disorder The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies will co-lead a $15.4 million effort to develop new systems for quickly screening libraries of drugs for potential effectiveness against schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) announced. The consortium, which includes four non-profit institutions and two industry partners, will be led by Hongjun Song, Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins and Rusty Gage, Ph.D., of Salk Institute. Bipolar disorder affects more than 5 million Americans, and treatments often help only the depressive swings or the opposing manic swings, not both. And though schizophrenia is a devastating disease that affects about 3 million Americans and many more worldwide, scientists still know very little about its underlying causes (which cells in the brain are affected and how) and existing treatments target symptoms only. “There has been a bottleneck in stem cell research,” said Song, a professor of neurology and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins. “Every lab uses different protocols and cells from different patients, so it’s really hard to compare results. This collaboration gathers the resources needed to create robust, reproducible tests that can be used to develop new drugs for mental health disorders.” The researchers also expect to develop a large body of data that will shed light on the molecular and genetic differences between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. And, since other mental health disorders share some of the genetic variations found in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, the data will likely inform the study of many illnesses. ■ Have a La Jolla news tip?

I took this photo Sept. 25 of the grass in front of the building (across the street from Chase Bank). There were more poops on the lawn, but I thought it better to take the shot showing the location in the background.
Dog droppings still plague Bird Rock
I
’m writing again to update you on the dog poop issue happening in Bird Rock. I noticed an improvement in the area in front of the Seaside Smoothie and Juice Bar. My wife and I appreciate the “Please Scoop the Poop” sign that was recently put up there. Unfortunately, it hasn’t stopped the problem as dog walkers now seem to walk past the cafe to allow their dogs to defecate on neighboring areas. There are a couple of ways I see this improving. One way, is if there’s a doggy bag station on La Jolla Boulevard. I noticed one in the Village near Sugar and Scribe and thought to myself, “That’s exactly what Bird Rock needs!” The second way is if fines are given out if one is caught in the act of not cleaning up after their dog. I’m assuming the same organization that fines dog owners for unleashing their dogs at local parks (rangers and lifeguards) can issue fines for this? If this isn’t realistic, then maybe a sign warning dog walkers of being fined would serve as a deterrent. In any case, the issue has slightly improved, but it’s still disgusting to walk along the east side La Jolla Boulevard. Further action will need to be taken. — Ryan Cloud ■ Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators.

FROM JOE LACAVA, A3 and Valerie) were growing up and still wanted their dad to be involved in their activities or help them with homework. As they got older, I began looking for other things to do. I started volunteering at their school and about that same time, I got a call about the project that became known as Seahaus Condos. A resident expressed concern that the project would bring 1,400 condos to Bird Rock. I thought that didn’t sound right, so I did some research and found it was going to be 140 units, not 1,400. I called the individual and explained the situation. That set off a lightbulb; here was a way to give back to the community by disseminating information so people are not confused or cynical, but more informed. A third element was that time was also when Bird Rock’s revitalization was happening and there was talk about the roundabouts and traffic calming. Being a civil engineer, this was a natural opportunity for me to get involved.”
How do you become familiar with a new project?
“La Jolla is a very active community. We typically have over 100 new project applications every year. It can be difficult to go through all of them. I’d wait until I was contacted and then, depending on the nature of the call, I’d either point the caller in a direction toward who they should contact, or determine it would be easier to do some research on their behalf. That way,
W NE
I, too, would be more informed about the project and able to provide them with a basic understanding of what the application process consists of, and they could go from there. Some of the more high profile issues, I would spend more time getting myself up-to-speed, so I could be an independent source of information.”
Why did you decide to run for a City Council seat?
“When the conversation started turning to the fact that Sherri Lighter was terming out, my involvement in community activities had expanded from Bird Rock to La Jolla to greater citywide issues, so folks thought I might be a good candidate who could step easily into the District 1 seat. … Stepping into this process a little naïve, I got a lot of support early on, but there were two other candidates who had a lot of attributions and were able to put together a stronger campaign. It seemed it would be more productive to support (candidate) Barbara Bry than to continue to run my campaign. It was not an easy decision, but I still feel good about it several months later.”
How many community meetings do attend?
“I took a step back this year … but in the heyday, you could find me at the La Jolla Community Planning Association and two or three subcommittee meetings a month — just to hear what was going on and what people were talking about and how people were responding to certain issues. I need to see the whole picture, so I could connect the
dots between what I’m hearing at this meeting, and what I might have heard at another meeting. Some meetings focus on narrow aspects of an issue. Too often I hear people say, ‘Well, why don’t you just do x, y or z’ and it’s because there’s another issue over here. I find you can’t solely look at land-use issues because there might be a traffic issue, or how something in the Village might impact La Jolla Shores. I want to see all the pieces because that’s the way to find solutions.”
What do you do for fun?
“My wife, Lorene, and I like to go to the theater, so we’re season subscribers at La Jolla Playhouse and The Old Globe. When my daughter is in town, we go bird watching. We bird watch in some of the natural areas or at the Zoo, that’s always a lot of fun. We have much family here, so we spend a lot of time with them now. That’s an important part of our lives. We also like to travel.”
What is something most people don’t know about you?
“I am a big science fiction fan, but the thing I like to toss out at parties is that I was actually an extra in the 1970 remake of “King Kong.” They had an open call for extras in a crowd scene. Unfortunately, it’s a very dark scene, and I can’t imagine you would recognize me. It didn’t occur to me to wear something distinctive so I would pop out.” ■ Up Next: We’ll introduce you to Mr. Bart Crawford.

OPINION
www.lajollalight.com
Artistic expression and the fleecing of the First Amendment GUEST COMMENTARY BY NILE EL WARDANI, PH.D. am saddened by the actions of our City government, which has made inexcusable bureaucratic and judicial errors, and the actions of a tiny number of San Diego citizens who allowed their personal taste to take away the artistic freedom of others. Herein I hope to make four points: 1) the investigation of San Diego Municipal Code violations is at best random, 2) the City demonstrates bias when it enforces some violations and not others, 3) City inspectors demonstrate that they do not know municipal codes well, make inaccurate investigations and inexcusable errors and 4) anyone’s artistic endeavors are open to attack and destruction. I recently visited Oslo, Norway, where a much larger sculpture than that of Nasser Pirasteh’s in La Jolla stands near the National Viking Museum. There are many similarities between the two sculptures. Both are hollow, colorful, have a door and are inspired by the sea. While Norwegians treasure this sculpture, the City of San Diego allowed an Administrative Hearing Officer decide what is art and what is not. In the Final Evaluation he writes; “Pirasteh’s sculpture does not look like a traditional sculpture.” I did not know he is also an art critic. The process for investigating the violation of a City Municipal Code is based on individual complaints rather than a systematic process that treats all people and institutions equally. It is a disgrace. For example, the Evans School on La Jolla Scenic South has a gazebo (a structure) that sits eight-feet from the property line, clearly in violation of SDMC 131.0431 which specifies a 20-foot setback. La Jolla Museum of Modern Art has a huge stone egg sculpture (also hollow) that stands two feet from the property line, also in violation. But because no one has complained, these violations go unchecked and are allowed to exist, as well they should be. Mr. Pirasteh was not so lucky. A neighbor who did not like his sculpture lodged a complaint with the City. At the first hearing June 17, it was obvious that the two city inspectors who testified did not know the Municipal Code. They based their conclusions on SDMC 131.0431 which specifies a 20-foot setback on level property lines. The In-Out sculpture sits high on a greater than 25 percent sloped property. A city permit officer confirmed therefore that Pirasteh did not need a permit according to the footnote SDMC 131.0431(b) which specifies a six-foot
I
Nasser Pirasteh’s ‘In-Out’ installation in his front yard at 6706 Avenida Mañana in La Jolla, was deemed in violation of city code and the artist has been ordered to remove it and pay civil penalties by mid-October.
A similar sculpture in Oslo, Norway
setback on slopes greater than 25 percent. City investigators measured the Pirasteh setback at nine feet. Presumably because of this inexcusable error, the Administrative Hearing Officer ordered another investigation and a second hearing on July 21. Would the City recognize its error or cover it up? The City deemed the footnote to SDMC 131.0431(b) “irrelevant” giving no reason and chose not to investigate the possibility of its application. Still, the City needed another code violation to save jobs and face. The City hung its hat on a violation involving electricity. Indeed, there was lighting installed into the wall surrounding the Pirasteh property in 2004, 10 years before the In-Out sculpture was ever conceived. Many La Jolla residents light their walls, gardens, gazebos, stairways, trees and yes, sculptures. No permit necessary. No violation. When Pirasteh built the In-Out sculpture in 2015 he used one of the wall fixtures to cast light on his sculpture, wired through the wall and never the sculpture. Again, the City applied the law differently to Pirasteh. Months earlier, the entire electricity issue had been resolved in
April 2016 during the first city investigation. The same city inspector asked Pirasteh to take the light off the sculpture, presumably to appease the neighbor. He did so immediately and the city was satisfied. Why then resurrect an electricity violation? I believe for two reasons, 1) because the city needs another code violation after realizing that SDMC 131.0431(b) does indeed clear Pirasteh, and 2) because when the Pacific Foundation saw an article in The Los Angeles Times May 15 they contacted Pirasteh. This Foundation takes on cases upholding the First Amendment. This got the City nervous and it decided to stick to its decision come hell or high water. So the electricity code violation was resurrected as means of fending off the Pacific Foundation. Ironically, throughout the Final Statement, the City Administrative Hearing Officer refers to the sculpture as a sculpture! Following six months of investigations and two hearings, the City has hung its hat on faulty investigations and judicial errors. While one neighbor’s personal taste in art has revealed that our personal self-expression (and by extension our First Amendment Rights) are up for attack by anyone at any time. Will this ever end fairly?

La Jolla’s therapy dog passes away
Queen Lily, a Havanese dog and beloved pet of Linda and Jim Balducci, crossed the Rainbow Bridge last week. As a Registered Therapy Dog, Lily was a regular volunteer at the Vi retirement home (in the Memory Unit) making visits and putting a smile on residents’ faces as she entered their room in her pet stroller! Lily lived a varied life during her 16 years on this Earth. Not only was she a therapy dog, she also helped raise money in the Alzheimer’s Walk, participated in the Walk for the Humane Society, the Parkinson’s Walk and also for the Arthritis Foundation. La Jollans loved to stop and talk with us, as her stroller was decorated for whatever holiday season it was! Her photo has been on the biscuit jar in Wells Fargo bank, on the counters in Ogden Cleaners, Brick & Bell Cafe, and several other Village shops. Lily was awarded “Best Senior Dog” in the Precious Pooch Contest hosted by the La Jolla Community Center. She was also named a “Pet of the Week” by La Jolla Veterinary Hospital. Linda Balducci

Beach Boys’ Mike Love signs new book at Warwick’s BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A line of rock ‘n’ roll fans waited outside Warwick’s bookstore Friday, Sept. 23 to meet musician Mike Love and have him sign copies of his new book, “Good Vibrations, My Life as a Beach Boy.” Before the event, La Jolla Light got the chance to spend a few minutes with the singer/songwriter to see if he has any memories of the Village.
You mention La Jolla in “Surfin’ USA.” How did you come up with that verse?
When was the first time you came to visit La Jolla?
“I love it, other than the traffic, it’s one of the most beautiful spots one could go. There’s Carmel, and then there’s La Jolla. It’s a beautiful enclave of Californiana.”
“With my parents, on the way to Ensenada. We went there every other weekend, cruising down the coast in our trailer, and La Jolla being the beautiful spot on Earth that it is, it was one of our favorite places to have lunch.”
“I did mention it, didn’t I? I thought surfing was ‘All over La Jolla; At Wa'imea Bay,’ (quoting the song). I combined La Jolla with Hawaii, because I thought there were similarities there.”
What’s your opinion of our Village?
Did you ever surf in La Jolla?
“We were South Bay-based surfers, meaning Hermosa,

Manhattan, Redondo, those areas ... although we would take an occasional ‘surf safari’ and go south, probably here or at Swami’s (Encinitas).”
Do you still surf?
“Only when the waves are kinder and gentler. Only then.”
What’s your book about?
“It’s one of the best Christmas presents you can probably give a dad or a grandfather. We started the Beach Boys 55 years ago, if someone was 15 years old then, they would be 70 now. Someone younger who wants to know what it was like during the 1960s to be in a group — and what you should and shouldn’t do — yes, there’s all that in there, too. It’s also a good gift for a mother or a grandmother, because surfer girls were important to the story (laughs).”
Mike Love signs a copy of “Good Vibrations, My life as a Beach Boy,” for a fan.
CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Man convicted in La Jolla burglary spree gets 10-year jail term A 22-year-old man was sentenced Sept. 20 to nearly 10 years in state prison for burglarizing homes in La Jolla, Del Mar and areas in North County during a heat wave last year, while a co-defendant was placed on probation. Antonio Kresic, 22, pleaded guilty in June to 19 burglary and robbery charges and was sentenced to nine years and eight months behind bars. Keith Lashaun Thomas, 20, who also admitted guilt, was given credit for serving a year in jail and was placed on five years probation. Judge Michael Groch suspended an eight-year prison term as long as Thomas successfully completes probation. Deputy District Attorney Jim Koerber said the defendants cut and removed screens to break into residences during a hot spell last year. Some residents left their windows open due to the heat and the defendants were able to get in that way, the prosecutor said. The crime spree began Sept. 21, 2015 and ended Oct. 7, 2015. Some of the stolen property — including credit cards, computer thumb drives and gaming systems — was recovered and returned to the owners, police said. Two teens who participated in the crime spree were prosecuted in juvenile court. — City News Service
Suspect arrested after domestic incident
‘Casing’ reported in Country Club area
A female called San Diego police about 1:45 p.m. Sept. 22 and stated her 52-year-old boyfriend, pointed a gun at her at her residence on La Jolla Blvd. She told police he left in his vehicle. Officers responded to the suspect’s home in Pacific Beach in the 1700 block of Law Street. The suspect ignored commands from police and went inside his house quickly. After several attempts to contact him, SWAT was called to assist. The house was surrounded and cleared. The man was later taken into custody at Dana Resort. San Diego Police Northern Division Detectives are investigating. — Police Dept. Reports
Another incident of casing (homes watched or visited to determine ease of burglary) has been reported, this time in the Country Club area near La Jolla Elementary School. A concerned homeoner called La Jolla Light to report that during the afternoon of Sept. 21, a “very suspicious” person arrived at her home claiming to be taking a survey. She said the front gate to her house is equipped with a camera and an intercom and described the caller as a “dark-skinned man.” “The whole situation was suspicious to me,” she said. “He seemed surprised after he rang the (intercom) bell and I answered. I don’t think he expected anyone to be home. But he said he was doing a survey, but didn’t say for which company and he didn’t have a clipboard, backpack, anything. He didn’t give his name or anything else. When I told him to come back later, he ran down the street. He just took off running.” — Ashley Mackin
Man run over by hit-and-run driver A man who was lying in the street in La Jolla was run over Saturday morning (Sept. 24) by a hit-and-run driver, according to police. The unidentified 63-year-old man was lying in the 9800 block of Genesee Avenue — near Regents Road — shortly before 5 a.m. when he was run over, Officer Frank Cali said. The victim was taken to a hospital with a broken leg. Police had no information on the vehicle that ran over the man, which kept going eastbound on Genesee Avenue, Cali said. — City News Service
Man rescued after fall off cliff in Bird Rock A man who fell off a cliff in the Bird Rock area of La Jolla was rescued by lifeguards, firefighters said. The rescue was at the foot of Sea Ridge Drive near Linda Way, at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, according to Lee
Swanson, spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. The man fell about 20 to 25 feet off the cliff just north of Tourmaline Surf Park, south of Bird Rock, Swanson said.

La Jolla holds its first Death Café meeting BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN La Jolla resident Susan Allen Toth said she once started a conversation about death that she thought would be enlightening, over dinner. “ ‘What do you think happens when you die?’ I asked. And there was a dead silence, and then somebody said, ‘You’re just gone, you’re dust, let’s not talk about that anymore.’ ” So when she saw an advertisement for a Death Café meeting on Monday, Sept. 26 at La Jolla Riford Library, she decided to attend and get the conversation started. Death Café is an international organization that arranges gatherings of people, often strangers, who talk about death, dying and end-of-life care over coffee and cake. The groups are offered on a not-for-profit basis and don’t follow a specific agenda or line of thought. They’re free, but contributions to pay for the treats are accepted. These meetings have been happening in San Diego for years now, but the Sept. 26 gathering at the library was the first time one took place in La Jolla. With an attendance of 12 people (different ages and backgrounds), cake, coffee and conversation were served by organizer May Bull, another La Jolla resident. Bull explained that she retired two years ago from San Diego hospice, and after a career that pivoted around death issues, became interested in the Death Café eight months ago. “I knew that there had never been Death Café in La Jolla, so I thought, why not bring it into an area I’m familiar with?” For years, Bull said, she watched people struggle with decisions at the end of their lives, or a loved one’s life, and she wanted to do something about it. “This is meaningful to me, it’s a continuation of the work I was doing. I knew when people where in hospice they had a hard time, they hadn’t thought of the many things we talk about here.” After the participants introduced themselves, Bull explained the group’s rules. “I made sure people knew this isn’t a bereavement group, we’re really talking about death, dying and end-of-life care. And it’s meant to be more about one’s personal thoughts on the topic and what would you wish would be when it comes to the end of your life,” she said, adding Death Café veterans have found every meeting is different because it changes with the people who attend. Allen Toth, who is in her 70s, said she is confronting her own mortality from a perspective of isolation from her former community in Minneapolis. “I wanted to spend this last part of my

How am I going to tell her, ‘Leave everything and fly out here right now and negotiate my immediate medical care?’ ” During the meeting, Allen Toth said she learned that anyone can designate a “patient advocate,” a person whose mission is to make sure wishes are met when it comes to one’s advance directive, the document used to make medical decisions when a patient no longer can. A patient advocate can be a relative, a friend or a professional hired for the purpose. Shirley Ordway said she drove to La Jolla from

downtown San Diego to attend a Death Café for the first time. Her elderly mother has developed pneumonia. “She says she’s dying, so I’m looking at myself and my concepts, and I want the idea of death to be more of an everyday thing, as opposed to something our society decides not to talk about, which seems completely ridiculous to me,” Ordway said. She chose to attend a Death Café meeting rather than a bereavement group because “that seemed a little clinical, or a little too intense, and I wanted it to be more of an open thing and have people come from all different venues with their insights and their different stories to see what I could contemplate on when it became time for my mother to pass. “Right now our society considers death to be scary and frightful, and I don’t think it necessarily has to be that way ... in this kind of enlightened environment, it’s more open to any kind of interpretation.” During the first Death Café in La Jolla there was laughter, discussion and even heart-felt speeches, but not a lot of crying. Participants ranged from elderly people approaching their own deaths to young social worker interns trying to learn about dying to be better at their jobs. Organizer Bull said she will put together more meetings in the future, or help others do so. Those interested can e-mail her at deathcafelj@gmail.com ■ ON THE WEB: deathcafe.com

San Diego County health officials have posted signs at La Jolla Cove warning swimmers of unsafe bacteria levels in the water.
Time has come to clean up The Cove’s contaminated water Last month, as a concerned local resident, I wrote to my County, State and Federal representatives (along with other relevant agencies), to urge the saving of La Jolla Cove from continuing bacterial contamination. La Jolla Cove failed 100 percent of the time in September 2016 (as of Sept. 24) to meet standards set forth by the State as tested daily by San Diego Department of Environmental Health, according to data kept by San Diego Coastkeeper as posted at: theswimguide.org/beach/1986 and for perspective: La Jolla Cove failure rates for meeting water quality standards: ■ Sept. 2016: 100% ■ 2016: 35% (through Sept. 24) ■ 2015: 14% ■ 2014: 9% ■ 2013: 9% ■ 2012: 6%
This pollution problem has increased rapidly in only two years. If we fail to act now, the situation will only become more difficult to repair. The city Parks & Rec Department commissioned a study to gather information on the sea lion population at La Jolla Cove. The final report by Hanan & Associates, dated June 28, 2016, identified problems that sea lions cause: erosion, dangerous interaction with beach users, and strong odors, as well as possible deterrent methods. However, there is no mention of a greater problem of water and sand contamination! La Jolla Cove is unique among city beaches. The La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve and Marine Life Refuge was established by California Fish & Game Code in 1968. In 2013, such ecological reserves were reorganized under the Marine Managed Areas Improvement Act. Access to safe parks and beaches by recreational beachgoers is finite. San Diego is famous for its beautiful beaches, and La Jolla Cove is one of its jewels. Our residents and tourists expect to enjoy it. Please “Save La Jolla Cove!” Ginger Truschke
Readers want more details in area crime reports I couldn’t help but notice the crime in last week’s Police Blotter, “Street robbery, weapon used,” which took place Monday, Sept. 12 at 10:53 p.m. on the 7400 block of Eads Avenue. Although the “casing” and “stolen wheels” stories in the report were also noteworthy, I’m sure I am not the only reader who wants more details on this local abnormality (a Google Search for the incident was not helpful, however it did return a “residential burglary” from Thursday, Aug. 13, 2015 at the same address.) For instance: Was this a home invasion? Was this a random act or known suspect to the victim? What kind of weapon was used? Was an arrest made?

Jeremy Black Editor’s Note: When it comes to stand-out crime incidents, such as the “street robbery, weapon used” case you mention, we regularly follow up with the police department to request more information. However, it is rare that we get a response back from police by our press deadlines to include with our report.

Everlasting memories of loved ones
Marvin ‘Doug’ Boney LCDR USNR (Ret) July 28, 1929 - September 17, 2016
La JoLLa — our esteemed and beloved father, grandfather and friend, Marvin Douglas Boney, passed on September 17, 2016. He was born in Pontiac, Michigan, to Marvin Keener Boney, a locomotive engineer, and Beatrice M. Boney, nee Pierce. Doug entered the U.S. Navy Reserve immediately after high school. a barnstorming ride awarded by his employer, later convinced him to become a pilot, and he received his wings as a Naval aviator in 1953. Initially he was flying Grumman aF-2S/2W’s with VS-37, the air wing aboard the U.S.S. Princeton, to cover the evacuation of
Nationalist Chinese forces from Tachen Island. Doug later flew a variety of aircraft including the C-118 (DC-6) from Hawaii, Taiwan, Kenya and Vietnam. He retired from the Navy in 1969. During a furlough from naval service in the 1950’s, he joined TWa as a commercial pilot,
becoming a captain in 1963 and piloting various aircraft around the world, such as the Lockheed Constellation, B707, B727, and the wide-bodied 747 and L-1011 (“the best airplane ever,” according to Doug). He and the love of his life, Marti, were delighted to live in Paris while he was assigned to TWa’s Paris-Cairo-Bombay service. They continued their travels after his retirement in 1989, and loved to joke that they had the best of both worlds – his free airline travel privileges and her membership at La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club where they could entertain family and friends. always a consummate officer and gentleman, he
had a welcoming smile for everyone he met, and will be greatly missed by his and Marti’s extended families, and their many friends throughout La Jolla and San Diego, and at Paradise Village, their wonderful retirement home in recent years. Doug was predeceased by Marti (Martha Maryanna West, nee Funk) and by his loving daughter, Celeste. He is survived by daughters, adrian, Cynthia and Deborah; stepdaughter, Marjo; and three grandchildren, Tiffany, Douglas and Tyler. Military honors and interment of ashes will be scheduled at a later date. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

So Much to See and Do La Jolla Art and Wine Fest adds celebs, family events, speakers to 2016 lineup
BY ASHLEY MACKIN he eighth annual La Jolla Art and Wine Festival is stepping up its entertainment game this year so those who stroll the streets looking at world-class art have something to see and do at every corner. The two-day juried art show — to be held 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 along Girard Avenue — will feature the work of some 150 artists, and beverage tasting from more than a dozen wineries and breweries. Admission is free, but proceeds from the wine and beer garden and silent auctions benefit La Jolla’s public elementary and middle schools. Because the festival raises funds for the children of La Jolla, the family art center was expanded this year, courtesy of Geppetto’s toy shop owner Brian Miller.

“Since the beginning, I’ve been a sponsor and have underwritten the family area, but this year, we’re also organizing the activities, and we’ve blown up that area to include many more things for children all under one big tent,” he said. Literally, there will be a large tent shading Wall Street, where the family art area will be located. “We are premiering the new Turkey on the Table toy — kids can write what they are thankful for on the feathers and display it at Thanksgiving,” he said. “We want La Jolla children to write what they are thankful for on the turkey that will go in our store.” From noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Maggie Wheeler (Janice from TV’s “Friends”) and Meredith Scott Lynn (”Legally Blonde,” “Days of Our Lives”) will stop by to promote their creative writing program
Write Brain, with activities that encourage kids to write, illustrate and create their own books. Also on the docket are arts and crafts tables, a physical activity area sponsored by the La Jolla YMCA, and a science-based activity table sponsored by the La Jolla Library. Even the donated car that children are invited to paint is getting an upgrade this year, and will be a 20-foot-plus stretch limo. “There’s a lot going on this year we’ve never done before,” Miller said. For adults, there will be changes to the wine and beer garden this year with the inclusion of speakers, musicians and an “experience” auction. In addition to the silent auction tent, which is stocked with donated items from businesses and artists, there will also be a table with bid-able trips SEE ART AND WINE, B14

Dating among the elderly
W
La Jolla Cultural Partners
hen you see a newspaper photo of happy nonagenarians at their wedding, the first reaction (aside from being happy for them, and wondering what their scheming children think) is “Are they really going to ‘do it’?” Society in general has a true aversion to the concept of old-people sex. Unless, of course, you’re an old person. You didn’t get old overnight. You’ve had a chance to work into this body. As people age and more of them end up widows or widowers, the specter of dating raises its problematic head. Some of my friends who are considerably older than I am — late 70s and 80s — note that this is not an uncommon topic. What’s immediately clear is how different the parameters for romance are once you’re in the Social Security set. At 20, you’re just looking for love. When I was divorced at 35 with two preschoolers, a friend looked around my property and observed that what I really needed was a lover who liked gardening and pool maintenance. In my book, in the chapter titled “Dates from Hell,” I chronicled my disheartening experiences doing laps in the dating pool, watching my list of requirements for dating
partners slowly dwindle to “hasn’t been in prison.” If Olof, with whom I’d spent my senior year in high school as an exchange student in Brazil, hadn’t fortuitously come back into my life, I’d be single to this day. Olof and I married when we were both 47, after an eight-year commuting relationship from the Bay Area on Olof’s part. He has always maintained that I married him for his skills with a sewer augur, but that’s only partially true. Olof, who was also divorced but had no children, maintains that it was far easier to woo women who were in their 30s than it had been the first time around when they were less interested in his prowess with a pipe wrench and more interested in romance. When you’re a 35-year-old single woman with two little kids and The House From Hell, it’s amazing how fast the definition of romance changes. There’s nothing sexier than a guy with a pipe wrench. Among my older friends is a woman who is 91. She has a stronger back and clearer mind than either Olof or me. She still lives independently. But my friend does admit that suitable romantic male companions in her dating range (which she considers to be 80-100) are limited. So she was delighted to
be introduced at a fundraiser to a fellow nonagenarian. The spark was instantaneous between them. They are very compatible, she reports, and he checks off every box on her list including and especially “still drives at night.” (After “doesn’t have dementia” and “isn’t imminently dying,” that’s a strong third.) And then you get down to the desirables: Are they presentable? Do you have compatible interests? When you see older men marrying women decades younger, you realize that they have none of the same reference points. She and the gentleman have gone out several times now and she’s thinking it might be heading in a more romantic direction. Her body isn’t bad for someone who is 91, she says. In fact, she’s probably in the top 2 percent of hot 91-year-old bodies. She’s taken good care of herself. But, she confesses, the top 2 percent of terrible probably won’t win her any points. Still, she has very much missed an intimate life since her husband passed away and despite what 20-year-olds think, the spirit CAN still be willing even if the flesh is weak. Will pharmaceuticals of the hot tub variety be required, she wonders? Since they must be taken in advance of romantic episodes, how is this broached? This is all so definitely not in the acceptable parlance of her youth when women wore white gloves and panty girdles. (And good riddance to both!) One could, she allows, have a more intimate relationship without going “all the way” as it was termed in both her and my generation. She’s not looking to remarry at this point. She’s financially well set. He is, too. So hopefully there won’t be too much

As with all stages of life, there’s always some new challenge, even if the challenge is simply staying alive in reasonable health for one more year.

Gregory Peck with Anthony Peck

La Jolla Playhouse founders Mel Ferrer, Gregory Peck and Dorothy McGuire
San Diego Int’l Film Fest marks Gregory Peck centennial with award Actress Annette Bening to receive the honor Sept. 29 at MCASD BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN he late La Jolla-born actor Gregory Peck once compared his favorite film “To Kill a Mockingbird” (directed by Robert Mulligan in 1962, in which Peck played attorney Atticus Finch) with the village of his childhood. “In the 1920s, La Jolla was a magical little resort community. … There was even something of a Southern atmosphere to it because many of the people who settled

there came from Southern States,” he said in a story published March 12, 1963 in the San Diego Evening Tribune “Front Row” series. Peck cherished that role because, as his son Anthony Peck put it, “It was the role he was born to play. Through it, he wanted to express his views on racism. … He found a way to express his thoughts in the roles he took on.” And that, for San Diego International Film Festival (SDiFF) Artistic Director Tonya Mantooth, is the connection between Peck and this year’s Gregory Peck Award recipient, Annette Bening. “I see that in her,” Mantooth said. “She, too, feels that some of the really important topics going on today need to be talked about, and she considers that when she takes a

Other ‘Night of the Stars’ honorees: ■ Jason Mitchell (“Straight Outta Compton,” 2015): Rising Star Award. ■ Simon Helberg (“The Big Bang Theory” Howard Wolowitz): Auteur Award. ■ Kate Beckinsale (“Pearl Harbor,” 2001): Cinema Vangard Award. ■ Humanitarian Award: TBD role. In her every role, there’s a passion there, and it comes across in her performance.” This will be the second time SDiFF honors excellence in cinema with the Gregory Peck Award. The collaboration between the organization and the Peck family came about when Mantooth and Cecilia Peck (the actor’s daughter) met at the screening of one of her documentaries at the festival. Mantooth explained, “It was wonderful to meet her, and I knew that Gregory had been born and raised in La Jolla, so to me it was very natural to give this award. “I work closely with Cecilia to see who really would represent the award well, and we both knew Bening, and she knew Gregory, and he had tremendous respect for her, really loved her spirit. It’s serendipitous, because she’s also a San Diegan … and the fact the she knew him and he admired her made it feel so perfect and so full circle.” The award will be presented to four-time Academy Award nominee Bening, Thursday, Sept. 29 during the “Night of the Stars” celebration at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla. The recipient is a two-time Golden Globe-winner, and two-time recipient of the Screen Actors Guild Award. She starred in “The Kids Are Alright” (2011), “American Beauty” (1999) and “Being Julia” (2004). Peck was born April 5, 1916, and in light of his birthdate centennial this year, La Jolla Light gathered some facts about his impact in the community. His father, Gregory Peck senior, owned Peck’s Drug Store at 7914 Girard Ave from

Gregory attended school and was very happy in La Jolla, his son Anthony said. “However (his parents) divorced, and at that point he was sent to a military school in Los Angeles, but he always maintained the connection to La Jolla.” In April 1, 1963, the La Jolla Light published the story, “La Jolla’s Peck Wins a Bushel in Santa Monica,” which stated, “Like most of the kids of our town, (he) spent a great deal of time at the beach where he managed to catch more crabs
than most of his cohorts. He could also hold his head up among the best when diving for abalone.” In 1947, Peck founded the La Jolla Playhouse along with actors Mel Ferrer and Dorothy McGuire, and as his son, Anthony, points out, “I believe the idea of opening a playhouse in La Jolla was his way to give back to the community that had been his home, as well as offering Hollywood actors a nearby place to stay in tune with theater.

Did you know the first Oktoberfest was held Oct. 12, 1810 to commemorate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig (King Ludwig I) to Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen? The union was celebrated annually, and came to be known as Oktoberfest. Throughout this time, it has been canceled a few times, due to wars, and once due to a major Cholera outbreak (1854) in the region. Over the years, the festival grew. Carnival booths appeared. Beer became a central theme and flowed freely. Food was a big part of the festivities. Later, rides were added. Millions of people annually flock to Oktoberfest in Munich.

We’ve priced solar so low in fact, that if you talk to our competition, they are going to say there is a catch or that it is subpar product.

La Jolla Art and Wine Festival will have a stilt walkers parade this year, building from the few that attended last year.
La Jolla Addiction Healing Center is here to help Successfully fighting addiction through our personalized & tailored programs for over 13 years
and once-in-a-lifetime events in the wine and beer garden. “We tried to find experiences people typically don’t have access to,” said auction organizer Georgia Schweitzer. Examples include a NASCAR driving experience, a trip to Costa Rica for six days and seven nights, watching a Chicago Cubs game from the Wrigley Field rooftop, a trip for two to the 51st Annual Country Music Awards and After-Party, and a trip for two to the 2017 Semi-Final Games and the Final Championship Game of the NCAA Final Four Basketball Tournament. Also new, Schweitzer said, is that these experience items are already open for pre-bidding online at ljawf.com — just click on Attractions, and then, Silent
Auction. The bidding will close at the end of the festival. Free entertainment will also be available in the wine and beer garden. As in previous years, musical acts will take the stage in 20-30 minute sets throughout the weekend, but this year, speakers from the wine and beer industry will make presentations and answer questions in between performances. Event founder Sherry Ahern said, “Festivals are becoming more interactive and people want to learn more about things. Last year, we had a few stilt-walkers going around, but this year we’re going to have a bunch of them. We’re also going to have contortionists who can do amazing things. “We love that there really is something for everyone, and that the La Jolla Art and Wine festival is ever-evolving. But what really makes us different is that it’s beautiful because it’s in La Jolla.”

Prized musical memoir ‘The Lion’ opens at The Old Globe BY DIANA SAENGER Now playing at The Old Globe Theatre is the Drama Desk Award-winning musical, “The Lion,” written and performed by Benjamin Scheuer, who said he knew he wanted to make music all his life. “It seemed like the most natural thing in the world for me,” Scheuer said in an interview with La Jolla Light. “My father was the music man. He played the guitar and there was always The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who or Mozart ... and our family went to see the Gilbert and Sullivan shows in New York. I thought music was the most joyful and exciting thing in my life. At one point, I was playing the toy banjo my father built for me when I was two-and-a-half. Although, I couldn’t really see music as a job, I knew I wanted to do it all the time. Now, it’s my living.” Scheuer has been a writer-in-residence at Goodspeed Musicals, the Weston Playhouse, and Johnny Mercer Songwriting Workshop. He’s been commissioned by Williamstown Theatre Festival and is a recipient of a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. “I started playing in coffee shops in Greenwich Village in New York,” he explained. “I wrote songs about my family, and I told stories in between songs. I realized I needed to make the material in between as thoughtful and considerate as I did the songs. I wanted to keep people entertained, so I’d rewrite my stories and songs every day after every gig. That’s where ‘The Lion’ came in.

Benjamin Scheuer wrote and stars in ‘The Lion.’ “I was invited to the Goodspeed Theatre and I met (director) Sean Daniels. He was interested in my music. We became good friends and have worked together since. He is my guide, therapist, hiking buddy and coach. I will forever be indebted to the theatrical magician Sean Daniels is.” Throughout the show, Scheuer plays six different guitars, including a 1929 Martin, a Les Paul, and a Froggy Bottom H-12. One he calls his “understudy,” who only gets played if he breaks a string. “In 400 performances, I’ve played her twice,” Scheuer said. “The other six are all tuned to different chords. On the Froggy Bottom I play ‘Cookie Tin Banjo,’ about the

guitar my dad made for me when I was young; I play the title track, ‘The Lion,’ and I use it to play a song that is a letter to my father, called, ‘Dear Dad.’ ” In addition to being a musical, Scheuer said the show is a family story about his father. “We got along well playing music,” he said. “However, he was very academic and I was not. When I was 13, we had a fight. Soon after, he died of a brain injury. I always felt I was responsible for his death. But during my ‘treatment’ and ‘cure’ from cancer, I learned to become myself, forgive myself and forgive my father. In essence, the show is about family and how the power of music connects us.”
Scheuer said he made four music animated videos independently for the show (available on his website benjaminscheuer.com) — “Weather the Storm,” “The Lion,” “Cookie Tin Banjo” and “Cure.” His album, “Songs from The Lion,” has won prizes at the Annecy Film Festival, British Animation Awards, and Encounters Film Festival. Another animated video, “Golden Castle Town,” will be released in October. He said he was very excited when “Cure” premiered on a New York Times health site. “I think that blew open the doors for musical theater getting songs on the radio and film festivals to audiences that otherwise would not think of this as musical theater,” Scheuer said. “So I’m completely interested in changing the way the genre is presented.” In press material advancing the show, Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein writes, “I first saw ‘The Lion’ two years ago, and it knocked me out. Ben Scheuer is one of the most winning, charismatic performers I’ve seen. He can do it all: a wizardly guitarist and brilliant singer-songwriter, he’s put together a theatrical memoir that is unique, moving, and hugely uplifting. He’s performed the play in many cities since its acclaimed New York run, and Ben has won hearts everywhere he’s gone. I’m so happy to share this special and unforgettable show with San Diego.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Lion” runs through Oct. 30 at The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl & Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

‘Peerless’ production shines at Moxie Theatre LET’S REVIEW BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT nce again, for Moxie Theatre, less is more. Last month, Moxie closed its 11th season with a super-successful run of “Ruthless,” a campy musical about a grade-school girl who will stop at nothing to get the lead in her school play. Now Moxie starts its 12th season with the aptly-named “peerless,” a wickedly comic non-musical about twin high-school girls who will stop at nothing to get into their dream college. The twins are Asian-American, the college is Harvard- or Yale-ish, and the playwright, Jiehae Park, cites as her two inspirations Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” and the real-life, modern-day Gibbons sisters, identical twins who communicate in their own invented language. The Gibbons sibs, black twins growing up in a white Welsh town, are too close for comfort, sharing a taste for crime sprees, attempted murder and suicide that led to a long confinement in a psychiatric hospital and ended with the death of one of the two. And, although Shakespeare might not recognize much of his Scottish play in “peerless,” where the teen twins, M and L, are stand-ins for Mac and his Lady, D is a motor-mouth, not-quite-kingly Duncan, with problems of his own, and the wild Dirty Girl is a new kind of witchy, both the real-life and literary influences are clear, with Park putting her own warp-speed spin on them.
About the Playwright
O
The peerless cast: Jennifer Eve Thorn, Vimel Sephus, Jyl Kaneshiro, Dana Wing Lau and Justin Lang. The fact is: Unless you’re a linguistic conservative with FORL (Fear of Raw Language) “peerless” is a must-see for lovers of weird and wonderful theater. The writing, the cast and the production are all top-drawer. There’s nothing lower-case about this play but its title. The opening is an immediate grabber: the loud thud of a falling admissions packet and a stunning rap-rhythm convo by the two sisters, who, except for the color of their backpacks, look pretty close to identical, especially (as they say later on) to white people. They rage about their college app results: L stayed back a year to avoid competition, but now M has been denied early acceptance. You see right away how they feel about each

other and about the nervy someone; a 1/16th Native American male student who’s taken M’s well-deserved place as a double minority — a girl and an Asian — at The College. And the plotting begins. Dana Wing Lau and Jyl Kaneshiro are terrific as M and L, “the doer” and “the pusher.” Jennifer Eve Thorn — Moxie’s associate artistic director — is barely recognizable but memorable as the psychic weirdo, Dirty Girl. (She also appears as Preppy Girl at the play’s end.) Justin Lang comes on strong as D, the nerdy early-admissions acceptee, whose nonstop chatter, loaded with positive-thinking, masks heavy issues, including a severely disabled brother, whom Lang also plays. Vimel Sephus has a less notable part as M’s

Edema and Vein Health— Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Fluid Retention What do your varicose veins and swollen ankles have in common? Both have to do with damaged veins, often caused by increased pressure within the damaged veins. Sometimes swelling is just that—you’ve eaten too much chips and salsa, or splurged on something fried. Other swelling is caused from too much standing (at a concert or theme park, or even a long day at work), or sitting (on a plane or long car ride). Even hot,
humid weather can cause some swelling of the legs and feet. This is edema, which can be benign or serious. Sometimes, blood plasma leaks out of damaged veins, seeping into the peripheral tissue. This fluid buildup that causes the swelling in the legs, feet, or hands is called peripheral edema. It’s also common among pregnant or menstruating women because of hormone changes. Generally, minor swelling will occur in the legs, ankles, and feet and will disappear overnight, absorbed by the body during sleep. Swelling that disappears within a day or two shouldn’t be a cause for alarm. Generally, the culprit is venous insufficiency or vein damage, when the valves in the veins, especially in the lower extremities, are so weak that blood can’t pump back up toward the heart, so instead, the blood pools in the damaged veins of the legs and feet, causing those unsightly varicose veins. But note, too, that varicose veins themselves can cause
additional swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet. What may surprise many people is that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen can actually worsen edema, as can drugs prescribed for diabetes, hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and certain antidepressants and even blood pressure medications (calcium-channel blockers). However, in serious cases, the source of edema is kidney or liver disease, or even heart disease, which can cause fluid to enter the lungs and abdomen, if not elsewhere. If swelling persists after a day or two or even worsens, consult a doctor quickly, especially if the swelling is accompanied by a shortness of breath, as severe fluid buildup can be caused by heart failure or life-threatening kidney, liver, or thyroid disease. Oftentimes in such cases, the swelling in the extremities occurs because the heart is too week to pump blood efficiently.
How to prevent edema? If you already have vein disease, that can’t be cured. Varicose veins can (and should) be treated with sclerotherapy, to prevent additional problems, but the underlying cause won’t go away. But varicose veins can be a symptom of something more serious, so it’s good to get regular checkups. As for the basic edema, if you have a clean bill of health and don’t suffer from heart failure, liver or kidney disease, then try cutting down on the sodium intake. Some doctors may prescribe a diuretic for more significant edema-related swelling, but be wary of over-the-counter homeopathic remedies, as those haven’t been fully vetted. If prescription medication for high blood pressure or an unrelated condition is the cause, consult with your doctor about trying a new prescription medication instead. Beyond that, try to avoid sitting or standing for long stretches at a time, and maintain good allaround physical health and mobility.

La Jolla native to sign her children’s book on Ansel Adams BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla High School graduate, outdoor educator and former La Jolla Light freelance reporter Cindy Jensen-Elliott will sign her latest children’s book, “Antsy Ansel: Ansel Adams, A Life in Nature,” 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30 at Warwick’s Books, 7812 Girard Ave. Inspired by the life and career of landscape photographer Ansel Adams, the work is a nonfiction picture book, illustrated by Christy Hale. It opens with a glimpse into his childhood: “Ansel was antsy. He never walked — he ran. When he sat, his feet danced. Even his thoughts flew about like a gull in a storm. Ansel noticed everything. And everyone noticed Ansel. ‘Pay attention’ said his aunt. ‘Please sit still’ begged his mother.” Unable to sit still, young Adams’ father often sent him outside to play. It was
Cindy Jensen-Elliott there he developed an appreciation for nature. “Magical things can happen when we allow kids to have access to the outdoors. A child like Ansel Adams, who struggles with school,
may ultimately have a successful future if they are channeled in a way that meets their need as a person,” Jensen-Elliott said. “Ansel Adams’ father eventually took him out of school because he saw that his son was hyperactive. He let Ansel run around and have free access to nature. That relationship led to his adulthood and his career as a nature photographer. His photography became iconic — especially his photos of Yosemite and other National Parks – and his works have made us love our National Parks again ... the story of his life is so interesting. “I want children to feel what Ansel felt like. My hope is for children (and their parents) to see how important that connection to nature is.” — “Antsy Ansel” is available for purchase at cindyjensonelliott.com

‘October Sky’ is a sensational production
A
1950s mining town comes to the stage in The Old Globe Theatre’s West Coast premiere of the musical “October Sky,” inspired by the 1999 Universal Pictures film based on a true story. Rachel Rockwell, director and choreographer, worked with composer/lyricist Michael Mahler to create this absorbing family drama. The show opens with the entrance of coal miners spouting the dangers they face and then breaking into a somber song about life as a miner. Homer Hickam (Kyle Selig), enters next to bring his dad the lunchbox he left behind. John Hickam (Ron Bohmer) turns his back on his son and storms off deeper into the mine. Homer joins some of his pals and they tussle and talk about what a terrible life they have to look forward to working in the mine. At school, Homer is so uninspired, he ignores Dorothy (Eliza Palasz), a girl who has a crush on him. Teacher Miss Riley (Sandra DeNise) is anxious to let the class know the Soviet Union has launched the first man-made satellite in space, “Sputnik.” She has them listen to the radio announcement to the elation of Homer and classmate
Quentin (Connor Russell), who is beyond most in his science studies. That evening, the townspeople show up to watch Sputnik fly over the Earth. When it appears, emotions and comments are diverse. The young people are excited, while the adults see the Russian satellite as a threat. The rocket inspires Homer, who has ambitions of a career in flight. Looking to the sky, he proclaims that one day, his ideas will be the way out of working in the mine. Selig carries off this scene with exuberant passion, and is rewarded by rousing applause from the audience. If good intentions could only be the answer to everything! Homer’s father, however, is always showing his pride in Homer’s brother, who is a great football player. But even after Homer, along with Quentin, O’Dell (Austyn Myers) and Roy Lee (Patrick Rooney) build and blast off a rocket and continue to discharge several more – bigger each time — life is miserable for Homer. His mother Elsie (Kerry O’Malley) is ever kind and encouraging, hopefully, to overcome the harsh way he’s treated by his father. Homer’s only hope of redemption is to
The crowning glory of broccoli
B
roccoli is finally making a culinary comeback after it got a bad rap from Papa Bush, who repeatedly announced his aversion to the crucifer, along with childhood memories of scarfing down mushy camouflage-green stalks that our mom’s overcooked as if they were trying to destroy trichinosis in pork. Today traditional broccoli varieties along with exotic cousins are bountifully offered at farmer’s markets and supermarket produce aisles. Boons of Broccoli: Native to the Mediterranean coastal regions, wild broccoli was a popular dish enjoyed by the ancient Romans. Not surprisingly, the word broccoli translates from Italian for “cabbage sprout.” The true broccoli plant that resembles miniature trees with bushy heads and chunky stalks is king of the Brassica family, which includes cauliflower, kale, bok choy and Brussels sprouts. Broccoli is most potent as a nutritional warrior when eaten raw as cooking depletes the arsenal of antioxidants. It boasts more immune boosting vitamin C than oranges, a rich store of iron to pump up red blood cell production, an impressive supply of calcium that rivals whole milk for bone strength, Vitamin A for eye health, along with anti-viral and anti-carcinogenic nutrients.
Recent studies coming out of the Linus Pauling Institute have also shown that concentrated amounts of the phytochemical sulforaphane contained in broccoli sprouts selectively seeks out and destroys cancer cells without causing collateral damage to healthy cells. If that’s not enough, research in the U.S., Sweden and China established a strong link to higher rates of breast cancer and low cruciferous consumption. So broc up!

The flat, bright green bitter leaves are reminiscent of mustard greens, while the dainty florets resemble broccoli buds. • Broccoli rapini popular in Italian and Portuguese cuisines is frequently mistaken for its close cousin raab with similarly large bitter leaves, but fewer florets; • Chinese broccoli also called gai lan looks like kale on steroids with thick stems, large flat bluish green leaves, and tiny flower buds. A member of the Brassica family gai lan has a particularly pungent, bitter flavor profile; • Mighty broccoleaves with prominent stems and ribs are the giant bright green leafy portion of the plant without the flowering crowns. Earthy yet delicate tasting they pack a more powerful phytonutrient punch than the branches and heads; • Delicate-flavored Romanesco, an Italian heirloom brings to mind a prehistoric crucifer with clusters of dinosaur-esque spiraling spikes comprising the pale green florets; • Lovely Technicolor Purple Sprouting Broccoli is an heirloom that produces tender, vibrant violet crowns and stems that add a pop of eye candy to any dish; • Immature broccoli sprouts are three-day-old buds from the plant that resemble alfalfa sprouts yet taste like zippy

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices office manager honors top agents at dinner FROM BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES REPORTS Nicki Marcellino is a real estate executive who’s as hands-on in the kitchen as she is managing the La Jolla office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Marcellino, along with two staff members and her husband, created all flower arrangements, appetizers, and an eight-course dinner in her La Jolla home on Aug. 25 for 40 agents and their guests who’ve earned the Chairman’s Circle Diamond Award in 2015. The designation places these agents in the top one-half of 1 percent of all Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agents nationwide. “This is my way of honoring and showing my appreciation to some of the finest real estate professionals not only in La Jolla, but all of San Diego County,” said Marcellino, San Diego Regional Vice President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
California Properties. “This is the 14th year that my staff and I have had the pleasure of recognizing the leaders in our office for their significant achievements.” Said Mary Lee Blaylock, CEO and President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, “Nicki created a beautiful setting overlooking La Jolla, with candles and fairy lights illuminating the evening, gorgeous displays of appetizers, and a spectacular musician, Jim Weiss. Guests dined alfresco at beautifully dressed tables, with great conversations, laughter, and, as agents do, networking throughout the night. Nicki’s labor of love made it the kind of memorable evening our company always encourages.” To work with an agent from the La Jolla office at 1299 Prospect St., contact Nicki Marcellino at (858) 459-0501 or ljmanager@bhhscal.com or visit bhhscalifornia.com
FROM PECK, B5
as a famous actor while in La Jolla, but “he was not treated like a famous person, he was treated like a hometown boy. The one thing that my father taught me was to follow my heart. There wasn't a choice or decision in my life that I made without thinking what my father would have done.
