THE CROSS CAN STAY
Mt. Soledad purchase leads to lawsuit dismissal Capital campaign underway to fund Memorial programs BY ASHLEY MACKIN Since the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association bought the government land on which the controversial cross sits above the National Veterans Memorial in July 2015, the two-decades-long legal battle over its constitutionality ended last month when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined the case is now moot. Since 1989, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and others have argued that the cross should be removed from government-owned property because it represents one religion over others. Counter-arguing that the cross is a neutral symbol for memorials, the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association maintained that veterans from several religious backgrounds are represented in the now 4,400 plaques on the surround-wall beneath the cross. Mt. Soledad Memorial Association president Lou Scanlon said that though the “wheels of justice turn slowly,” the Association was “very excited and pleased that these years of litigation are at an end.” In July 2015, the Department of Defense sold the half-acre parcel atop Mt. Soledad in La Jolla to the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association for $1.4 million following the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015, signed into law by Congress and President Obama in December 2014, calling for the sale of the property by the federal government to the Association.

guitar in a band called Kid Wilderness that is based in Pacific Beach. I’ve been in bands since I was 16 and I’ve always been a bass player in bands because no one wants to do it, so you get a lot more job opportunities. When I was in high school, I was in a band called the Saline Solutions. We played together for two years and put out an LP and a few singles. But I got stolen by Kid Wilderness (they were called High Noon at the time) two years ago.”

I
n addition to the titles of operations manager and musician for Riffs Studios in Bird Rock, La Jolla High School graduate Tim Rayner holds another, more unique title: Luthier. For those unfamiliar, a luthier is a maker and repairer of stringed instruments. In an ongoing project in luthier-ship, Rayner is working on building a guitar from a single piece of wood.
How did you become a luthier?
What does the bass contribute to the overall sound?
Musician and luthier Tim Rayner
“To be in honest, I don’t have any journeyman papers or anything … I just had a few summers off in high school and had a bunch of guitars, so I tinkered with them. I took them apart and put them back together, and having experience in woodwork, I figured out the connections and how things worked. I read a lot and watched a lot of instructional videos. It came to be a passion of mine.”
influence. The guitar was my first love. My parents got me a little guitar when I was about 7, but they didn’t get me lessons, I had to figure it out for myself, so I looked at how other people played. Today, I have a lot of knowledge gaps and weird ways of doing things, but I know guitars inside and out. Plus, the guitar combines my two loves — music and woodworking. Some of these guitars are masterpieces of woodworking.”
What is it about the guitar that interests you?
How many guitars do you have?
“My father is a jazz drummer, so I grew up around instruments and a lot of musical
“My collection is always in flux, because I’m always taking some out of commission to make them better, or in many cases, make

them worse. But I have currently three that are complete and in full working order; two that are incomplete that I’ve scrapped for parts and one that I’ve been building that is about halfway done.”
Do you name them?
“No, I think that’s weird. I name them by their defining factors — the black one, the fret-less one, etc. But I do have one that I call my wife.”
Are you in a band?
“Yes. I perform during the live music yoga classes we offer here, but I also play bass
“It’s a multi-faceted instrument. The guitar is a mid-range instrument, so you can only go down to a certain frequency, without bass you are leaving out an entire range of frequencies that fill out the sound more. The bass takes more of a background position. You are feeding off the drummer and creating a foundation for the guitar. If you are a fan of Rush, you can hear Geddy Lee’s bass very clearly and it bridges the gap between rhythm and melody.”
You grew up in La Jolla, what did you enjoy about that upbringing?
“The casualness. It was very laidback and nearly carefree, but also rife with opportunities. I had a lot of opportunities many people didn’t have, and I’m incredibly grateful for all that — not to mention it’s beautiful beyond anything.” ■ UP NEXT: Meet Jen Mitchell from the La Jolla Community Center.

Cove water quality prompts triathlon organizers to move swim to The Shores
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), a La Jolla-based non-profit that provides opportunities for physically challenged people and organizes the annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC), confirmed to La Jolla Light its decision to move the swim portion of this year’s triathlon from La Jolla Cove to La Jolla Shores, and make it a day prior to the rest of the event. The reason behind the move is the standing beach water quality advisory at The Cove issued by the San Diego County Environmental Health Department in September, due to the concentrations of bacteria there. La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) trustees got word of the change during their Oct. 6 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, because the CAF request for event street closures and parking was pulled by a citizen for full board review due to the water quality concerns. However, LJCPA president Cindy Greatrex said the board could not discuss water quality issue, because it was

La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) trustee Bill Robins informed planners about the CAF decision to move the swim event to the Shores, and pointed out that it has taken place at La Jolla Cove for more than 20 years. CAF confirmed that the SDTC swimming event will be held 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 at La Jolla Shores. The rest of the triathlon will resume Sunday, Oct. 23, with the start of the bike race at La Jolla Cove, followed by a 10-mile run. The swim was the only activity of the weekend triathlon where participants would be in contact with Cove waters. The rest of the fundraiser’s activities at la Jolla Cove and Scripps Park will remain in place, like the YMCA Tour de Cove “Spinathon.”
In a statement to triathlon participants, the organization said: “A ‘Water Contact Advisory Warning’ has been issued by the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health at La Jolla Cove and it is expected to stay in effect through the SDTC. The Health Department advises beach users to avoid contact with ocean waters where advisory warning signs are posted due to high bacterial levels. Therefore, we’ve made the decision to move the swim portion of SDTC to La Jolla Shores on Saturday, Oct. 22.”

Justin Garver said authorities have been notified of streetlight failures on several blocks in the Village, including Wall Street (between Girard and Ivanhoe avenues) and Hershel Avenue (between Prospect and Silverado streets). “Our office is working with the Streets Division to get the issue resolved as expeditiously as possible,” Garver told the planners.“We know there’s a couple of events coming up in the Village.” ■ DecoBike update: During the public comment session, LJP&B member Sally Miller raised questions about the planned DecoBike stations in the 92037 ZIP code. “I’d like to know why the City thinks it can bring DecoBike bicycles to our community when SEE PLANNING, A7
Homeowners Embrace SmartTechnologyWhen Renovating Homes Renovating homeowners are integrating “smart” features into their homes, according to the 2016 U.S. Houzz Smart Home Trends Survey. It found that nearly half of renovating homeowners are incorporating “smart” technology: systems or devices that can be monitored or controlled via smartphone, tablet or computer (45 percent). In fact, renovated homes are more than twice as likely to include a smart system or device than before the renovation (51 versus 20 percent, respectively).

FROM PLANNING, A4 all the advisory boards from Bird Rock to La Jolla Shores have turned them down unanimously. And I don’t understand why the City thinks it can take away our very precious, very few, parking spaces,” she said. Garver assured her that the City would hold a community meeting to address concerns. “Staff hasn’t identified the final sites at this point, so that’s what we’re waiting for,” he said. ■ Board positions open: La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee chair Tony Crisafi and Development Permit Review committee (DPR) chair Paul Benton are stepping down from their posts due to other commitments. “Both these gentleman have served for many years, and this is hard work with a lot of paperwork, a lot of communication with the City and a lot of time away from your work and family,” said LCCPA president Greatex. “We have a couple of people I’ve talked to about Tony’s role, and we have one person who has stepped up to Paul’s role on DPR, Claude Anthony Marengo.” In December, a special election will be held to fill two empty seats on the LJCPA. One of them expires in April 2017 and the other in April 2019. Both will be eligible for re-election for an extra three-year term at the end of the first terms. Those interested may contact Greatex at info@lajollacpa.org — LJCPA next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Bird Rock Council gets a visit from Congressmember Scott Peters
BY ASHLEY MACKIN On the election campaign trail, Congressmember Scott Peters stopped by the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting at La Jolla Masonic Lodge Oct. 4. Peters, a Democrat, is up for re-election Nov. 8 in the 52nd Congressional District, where he will face Republican Denise Gitsham. The meeting was held, by Peters’ memory, in the very room that once hosted meetings to hash out the Bird Rock Roundabouts, which started as a grassroots project, and were completed in 2008. Joking that most people just ask him about presidential candidate Donald Trump, the former environmental attorney and San Diego City Councilmember answered questions about sea lions at The Cove, expected changes in Washington D.C. in the new few years, student loan issues and more. Peters also touted his accomplishments with improving services for veterans and environmental research. SEE SCOTT PETERS, A10

“
I’m with the Democrats on choice, marriage equality and background checks for guns; but on tax policy, health care and financial regulations, we all need to work together to make it work.

We care about your teeth and we care about you! DR. JOSEPH D’ANGELO, DDS DR. ASHLEY OLSON, DDS Implant, Cosmetic & General Dentistry

“I’ve tried to take a bipartisan approach and get things done, even in this difficult environment in Congress,” he said, adding that he calls himself an “independent” Democrat, which Republicans love but “Democrats don’t like so much,” and that he has crossed his party when the solution was “in the middle.” “I’m with the Democrats on choice, marriage equality and background checks for guns; but on tax policy, health care and financial regulations, we all need to work together to make it work,” he explained. When asked if he could bend some ears on curtailing the increasing pinniped population at La Jolla Cove, Peters said, “This is a community that is very tied to the ocean and … some people at City Hall kick us around a little bit and don’t understand that (access to the ocean via places like The Cove) is part of our culture. I think the notion that we should not be active with respect to (removing) the sea lions is wrong.” He encouraged a “La Jolla-wide solution” everyone could agree upon to prompt change. Peters was also asked whether communication and a sense of collaboration that has not been present during the Obama Administration is expected to get better after the November election. “It has to,” he responded. “If you were betting, you’d bet on Secretary Hillary Clinton to be president. The House of Representatives will stay Republican, so Clinton would be the first Democrat since Grover Cleveland to take office without a majority in Congress. So, if she wants to do anything, she is going to need to talk to and work with Republicans. I know Paul Ryan has things he wants to get done (so he is going to have to work with her as well). Communication and working together is going to have to get better if anything is going to get done.” One of Peters’ ideas addresses student loans. “The price of a public university education has gone up 300 percent since I was in school,” he said. “The average student
is coming out of their undergrad education with $33,000 in debt. That has a huge drag on the economy, (these) people aren’t buying houses or starting families. “(I propose) that if you work for a company and you have student loan payments, we would let your employer match your student loan payments up to $6,000 a year … so the company has an incentive that makes them more competitive.” He said he would also work to decrease the cost of tuition at California universities and colleges. Peters concluded by applauding neighborhood advocacy. “Community leadership, like what you find here and what got the roundabouts installed, is really needed everywhere,” he said. “We rely on you to let us know if you have an idea or if we are missing something on the Federal level. We need to hear from you about what we’re missing because most great ideas don’t come from Washington, they come from groups and communities like this.”
In other BRCC news: ■ New benches? BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar said the board is considering adding, repairing or replacing public benches as needed. “We need a few more, so if you have an idea for a location, let us know. We need to know what the community wants,” she said. The board can be reached at info@birdrockcc.org ■ Dog droppings: Dunbar also reported several complaints of unleashed dogs and dog waste on sidewalks and private property. She cited the San Diego Municipal Code and reminded attendees that it reads: “No person shall allow a dog in his/her custody to defecate or to urinate on public property or any improved private property other than that of the owner or person having control of the dog. It shall be the duty of all persons having control of a dog to curb such dog in order to carry out the intent of this section. The failure to do so and to immediately remove any feces to a proper receptacle constitutes a violation of this section. Unsighted persons while relying on a guide dog shall be exempt from this section.” ■ Private security: La Jolla Safety, a subcommittee of BRCC, continues to explore a private security option, but is no longer considering National Private Security (NPS). Representatives from NPS presented several times in Bird Rock, but La Jolla Safety ultimately decided not to contract with them because, La Jolla Safety founder and BRCC trustee Ron Fineman said, “They were not a good fit.” Fineman added that much of what Bird Rock experiences is considered “low priority crime” and out of reach to the understaffed San Diego Police Department. “We’re in the process of vetting private security companies that suit our needs,” he said. “We’re doing our best to keep costs down, and the more people who sign up, the lower the cost will be.” Those interested can visit lajollasafety.org ■ MAD meeting in November: The annual Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) meeting will follow the next BRCC meeting: 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1 at Masonic Lodge, 5655 La Jolla Blvd. The MAD meeting will address projects and provide a status report on environmental, safety, maintenance, irrigation water conservation, aesthetics and landscape matters. birdrockcc.org

UCSD Innovation Lecture Series
Medical tattoo ace: Research must ‘skate to where the puck is going’ BY WILL BOWEN UC San Diego Professor of Bioengineering Todd Coleman opened his lecture Sept. 20 at Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, with a quote from hockey great Wayne Gretsky: “Gretsky says that he does not skate toward the puck, but rather, he skates to where the puck is going.” Coleman followed up with an inspiring lecture on where things are going in medicine, as part of the “Inside Innovation” lecture series, presented by the UCSD Office of Innovation & Commercialization, 4 p.m. third Tuesdays in Roth Auditorium at Sanford Consortium. Coleman is best known for his work with medical tattoos. These are very Todd Coleman small electrical circuit boards you peel off from a piece of plastic and paste on the skin. The “tattoos” monitor and send off all kinds of data about what is going on in your body — things like blood pressure, heart rate, etc. Medical tattoos are the wave of the future. They will replace all the bulky testing and monitoring equipment that doctors now use. Soon, you won’t have to go into the doctor’s office or hospital to be have simple tests, the doctor can monitor your wellbeing from afar — 24/7 — by way of signals from the medical tattoo. Knowing about medical tattoos now is like knowing that you should have invested in
Todd Coleman talks about his research on medical tattoos. Facebook before it took off or Qualcomm before everyone on the planet bought a cell phone. This is where the puck is going! By way of example, Coleman shared slides of a pregnant woman who was being monitored in the hospital for fetal heart rate. She had two bulky belts with electronic instruments strapped to her body. It was a pain for her to unharness them when she had to use the bathroom. Coleman came into her room and replaced the bulky harnesses with a 1- by 2-inch electronic tattoo that he stuck to her protruding stomach like a post-it note. The tattoo sent the same data as the bulky belts to a nearby iPad screen by way of Bluetooth technology. Coleman went on to share another use of the tattoo technology. Gastroenterologists usually have to sick a camera down your throat or up the other end, so they can look at your stomach or intestines. Or you may have to swallow a SmartPill (an ingestible
WILL BOWEN
capsule that measures pressure, pH and temperature as it travels through the gastrointestinal tract to assess GI motility), which sometimes gets stuck in your guts and then doctors must figure out how to get it out. Coleman said he is working on a tattoo you place on the abdomen and it monitors the electrical waves in the intestines and provides all the information needed without the invasiveness of the other methods. Medical tattoos can also be used to turn on genes — like a gene that would prevent or rehabilitate Alzheimer’s disease. Athletes can use tattoos for enhancing their training and performance. The sky is the limit when it comes to medical tattoos. Coleman said he can do a lot of the necessary research in his lab to develop the tattoos with grad student assistants, but at some point things are best turned over to private companies for further
development and marketing. That’s where the public comes in. After his talk, Bill Decker, director of operations at OIC, got up to moderate a Q&A between Coleman and the audience. Several medical business owners shared what they were doing or how the tattoos might be applied in their professions. Afterward, everyone adjourned to a reception catered by Bella Vista Social Club and Cafe where the conversation continued. ■ IF YOU GO: The “Inside Innovation” lecture series was designed to create an atmosphere where scientists, doctors, investors, entrepreneurs, and the interested public can meet, strike up dialogues and form productive relationships. All lectures are free of charge and begin at 4 p.m. in Roth Auditorium at Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, 2880 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, La Jolla: • Oct. 18: Pradipta Ghosh, M.D., developments in the treatment of cancer by way of the study of signal pathologies. • Nov. 29: Andrew Kahm, M.D. and biomedical engineer Juan Del Alamo, new device for assessing stroke risk. • Jan. 17: Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of the Division of Regenerative Medicine at UCSD, cancer stem cells. • Feb. 21: Shirley Meng of the Laboratory for Energy Storage, nano engineering, making smaller, more powerful batteries. • May 16: Laingfang Zhang, nano drug delivery, very tiny methods of delivering drugs in the body.

FROM MT. SOLEDAD, A1 When the sale was complete, the property became private, nullifying the argument that a religious icon was located on public property. An unopposed motion filed on Aug. 25 by the U.S. government and the Memorial Association states, “The United States and the plaintiffs have negotiated a settlement agreement resolving all remaining issues, including attorneys’ fees, arising from this litigation.” However, Scanlon points out “the purchase depleted our fund.” Now, the Association is now moving forward with replenishing the fund and establishing seed money for future maintenance and growth. “We have plans to install an electronic kiosk, so visitors can more easily locate plaques of their loved ones and we can enhance the visitor experience,” he said. “We are also partnering with the Midway Museum to explore our educational outreach so the youth understand that freedom isn’t free, it was paid for with the sacrifice of the people on the wall.” The Association quietly began a capital campaign with a $2.1 million goal they hope to exceed, and has already reached $1.5 million, largely due to hefty donations from philanthropists Doug Manchester, Jack McGrory, Dick Woltman, Tom Sudberry,
Jack McGrory, Tom Sudberry, Richard Woltman, Doug Manchester, Doug Barnhart, former Gov. Pete Wilson and Peter Farrell Peter Farrell and others. Former California Gov. Pete Wilson is serving as honorary chair of the fund drive. McGrory, who was City Manager in the 1990s, gave $100,000 to the Association. “I was involved in this issue from the City side and watched as the Association fought the battle after that. The Memorial has become an icon in San Diego and the most important thing to remember is that it is a veteran’s memorial. More than 4,000 veterans are commemorated up there and I intend to get a plaque for dad up there, as well,” he said. “It’s great that now the Memorial is something that can exist in perpetuity and grow from here. We
can improve the parkland to make it a nice spot for people to visit.” Added Manchester, the largest donor at $500,000, “I donated because I’ve been involved with the Memorial for 30 years and I’m so pleased that the dreams of those who have been involved for so long will see the cross be preserved to honor the men and women of the military, because if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have the incredible life we enjoy today. When I was asked to get involved, I wanted to do whatever I could. Hopefully, my gift will be followed by others.” ■ Want to know more? Visit soledadmemorial.com or call (858) 459-2314.

1 + 1 = Student success at Mathnasium in La Jolla BY DAVID L. CODDON The exercise at Mathnasium of La Jolla is not of the body but of the brain, specifically the side of the brain that processes mathematics and solves problems related to it. For kids struggling with math (or those who understand it but want to excel), Mathnasium, the Math Learning Center, adds up. The decade-old, so-called Mathnasium Method is taught in more than 600 learning centers in North America, including the La Jolla location, which opened about three years ago. The Pearl Street center is owned by former elementary school teacher and administrator Karen Lossing, who also has Mathnasium locations in La Costa, Forest Ranch and north Carlsbad. Lossing emphasizes that the Mathnasium instruction goes far beyond what would be considered after-school tutoring. “What makes us different,” Lossing said, “is our instructors teach kids concepts in math. The other part of what we do is a lot of Socratic questioning. We don’t just tell the kids what to do. We’re trying to set them up for success, because the next day (after their Mathnasium session) they’re in school. “We structure our work with them so there’s a lot of self-realization. We coach them through a question. When they leave the building, they realize they’ve done the work, so we don’t necessarily call ourselves tutors.” Students at La Jolla’s Mathnasium work individually with each instructor but they also share that instructor. “Private instruction in a group environment is the way to say it,”
ZEENA GREGG
Students at La Jolla’s Mathnasium work individually with each instructor but they also share that instructor. Lossing explained. “When I work with a child it’s 100 percent one-on-one. I’ll teach them something and have them show it back to me, and if they’ve gotten it, I’ll say ‘Try the next five,’ and I’ll go help someone else. I’m never huddling up multiple children. The idea is that while I’m
busy working with one child, the other is practicing something on his own.” Students from grades 1-12 get instruction at Mathnasium. Lossing said that, age-wise, the students usually are one-third elementary level, one-third middle school and one-third high school level. “We help with homework, we help prepare them for tests and quizzes,” said Lossing. “We’re focusing on ‘Why is the homework hard in the first place?’ and ‘How can I get a better grade?’ That becomes particularly overwhelming the older a child gets. Sometimes it’s a kid who’s struggling and getting buried in his class. Usually, the younger they are, the more they’re there for enrichment.” A Mathnasium membership, which can be for three, six or nine months, includes either 60- or 90-minute classes. Cost ranges from $249 to $319 for 12 sessions. Passing a class isn’t the only reason kids come to Mathnasium. Either they or their parents, or both, recognize that math skills are essential to a future in a hot career. Lossing made the case: “In order to be a software engineer or to be an app developer, you’ve got to be good at math.” Mathnasium of La Jolla is at 915 Pearl St. in La Jolla. Hours: 2:30-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 2:30-6 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. (858) 335-5686.

Work of math genius Turing to be discussed Sir Dermot Turing will discuss the work of his uncle, Alan Turing, in a lecture titled “Myth and Methods,” noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28, in the auditorium at The Scripps Research Institute, 10620 John Jay Hopkins Drive. Alan Turing (about whom the 2014 film “The Imitation Game” was written) achieved much in a wide range of fields: pure mathematics, philosophy, cryptology, computer science, artificial intelligence and developmental biology. This is an astonishing resume, but Turing had a reputation of being solitary, difficult to deal with and a poor communicator. Sir Dermot Turing, the author of the most recent biography, “Prof: Alan Turing Decoded,” challenges this view. Using illustrations of Alan Turing’s work and personal accounts of what he was like to work with, the presentation will follow the course of his achievements and describe how he actually arrived at his ideas.
Sir Dermot Turing is a Trustee of Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire (UK). Alan Turing (1912-1954) was one of Bletchley Park’s leading cryptanalysts and a founder of the science of artificial intelligence. (858) 200-7498. scripps.edu

CRIME & PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Uber car thief leads police pursuit to La Jolla A woman suspected of stealing an Uber driver’s Mercedes Benz led San Diego officers on a car and foot chase into La Jolla Oct. 6, police said. The woman ran through a neighborhood near La Jolla Country Club and was arrested. Police said she suffered a possibly broken foot. The Mercedes owner called police about 4:10 a.m. from an Arco gas station at Cass and Turquoise streets. He said he saw a woman get into the white car and drive off, and that she nearly hit him, Officer Tony Martinez said. Officers found the car a short time later and the driver backed up to get away, hitting a patrol car. The damage was minor and the officer wasn’t hurt, Martinez said.
Skimming scam hits home A La Jolla resident reports that she may have had her credit card “skimmed” at a La Jolla gas station last month, and the thieves used her card to spend more than $1,000 at Best Buy. San Diego County Sheriff’s Department issued a warning recently that someone has been installing scanning devices known as “skimmers” inside credit card readers at gas stations. These are used to steal your credit or debit card information, including pin numbers, to make fraudulent purchases. The resident said she regularly uses her card at the same gas station, and after using the card at the station twice, her credit card statement came in with more than $1,000 in fraudulent purchases on it. “When I saw my statement, I went to Best Buy and the clerks remembered the transaction because of the amount and the unusual items that were purchased, such as an older-model iPhone and a brand new Apple Watch,” she said. “They said it was two men, and gave me a copy of the

I didn’t even noticed that the pump had been altered, that’s what scary about it.” Learning from the experience, she advised others to regularly check their credit card statements online. “If you don’t check your statement often, people could use your card for a while without being caught. It could happen to anybody.”

OPINION
www.lajollalight.com
OUR READERS WRITE Order to remove artist’s installation was not a violation of free speech Nile El Wardani and Kamran Zafar, in their recent guest commentaries, argue that the recent defeat for Nasser Pirasteh’s structure means that artistic endeavors are “open to attack and destruction.” But free speech is not absolute. The Supreme Court has on numerous occasions approved what are called “time, place or manner” restrictions. Can you falsely shout fire in a crowded theater? No. Can you pass out fliers at the airport? No. Can you defame someone without consequences? No. Can you get on your soapbox with a bullhorn in a residential area at 3 a.m. to exercise your speech? No. Why? Because we live in a society — i.e., there are other people with their own interests that have to be balanced with your speech rights. Pirasteh’s structure was placed in his front yard, facing Nautilus Street, which is one of the arterial streets of La Jolla. In other words, it was placed in a residential area. El Wardani cites structures at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street as evidence that Pirasteh was targeted for arbitrary and unfair enforcement. Not so. The museum is downtown in the Village, where art and murals are allowed. To allow Pirasteh’s structure to stand would have encouraged something called the “slippery slope.” If you let Pirasteh build his “art,” you’d have to allow other people to build other things in their yards. Pretty soon the neighborhood would be a patchwork of idiosyncratic structures and, yes, eyesores. The City of San Diego made the right call. Pirasteh’s house is not an art museum. Bill Smith
I moved to La Jolla in 1989 and Al was our first visitor, pedaling his bike up the long Nautilus hill to bring a housewarming gift. Brad’s article prompted me to look through my “memory file” of letters from our dear Al, news clippings, photos, his poems, and even a La Jolla calendar in which he was featured. His letters were magical in nature, each word written in a different color ink, spiritual signs and symbols, and always signed, “Love AL-ways.” He was a pure soul, eccentric, yes, but a generous and giving individual who turned none away from his door. It was his custom to give beggars a carton of cottage cheese and a healthy drink. Never money to “buy more booze,” as he would say. When my son was little, Al would invite us to lunch in his hidden “tree house,” where we would climb the ladder into the dense foliage, eat berries and nuts, and enjoy stories of his dancing days. In 1990, we were hosting a group of French students. Al insisted I “take a break” and he invited them to dinner, and to spend the night in the famous tree house. It was a highlight of their visit. I was devastated when they razed the Pearl and destroyed his treasured Eucalyptus tree. Al had been in WWII, and though injured, he carried a friend to safety. Unfortunately, as a sensitive soul, he was badly scared by the war and never quite recovered. He was a humble man of many talents, many friends, and a sense of leadership as shown by how he conducted his restaurant. Al of the Pearl made the transition Oct. 24, 1998 at age 78, after a two-year illness. He had been staying at the home of some very dear friends. I just reread an obituary where I had the honor to be mentioned as a member of his spiritual family who survived him. Thank you, Brad Wood, for bringing beloved Al of the Pearl back into our lives.

Latest idea for removing sea lions would surely give us a black-eye
Let’s play the blame game for La Jolla’s ‘dirty’ waters
This letter is regarding the “new idea for moving the sea lions,” the one proposed that involves lighting up a mile or more of La Jolla’s coastline with floodlights from dusk ‘til dawn while an intrepid crew of three volunteers from a non-profit (?) spend the night dispersing the piles of sleeping sea lions with pressure sprayers, thereby sending them “down the road to a part of the coastline that is not used by humans.” It’s an amazing idea, but before anyone gets too excited, we need to answer a couple of questions. First, exactly where is this La Jolla coastline that is “not used by humans?” Also, who specifically in the City Attorney’s office is going to risk their cushy career by signing off on the permits allowing the three, non-profit volunteers to spend the night traversing the cliffs with their pressure sprayers? Finally, people need to remember that everyone has a smartphone these days. (In California, if your annual income is less than $25,900, you have a free smartphone.) Does anyone want to guess how many of our fellow citizens will flock to La Jolla, with their Obamaphones rolling, live-blogging and live-streaming and live-tweeting, capturing every step that the non-profit volunteers take as they brandish their pressure sprayers and gleefully topple the heaps and mounds of sleeping sea lions? Mind you, all of this will be happening under relentlessly bright floodlights — clear as day —perfect filming conditions for the hordes of self-proclaimed “journalists” to upload their masterpieces of cinema vérité to Failblog and PETA and TMZ. This is the kind of bad publicity that will finally push San Diego ahead of Newark, New Jersey as the undisputed pariah of American cities. We’ll be the City where the politicians are to sea lion abuse, as Roger Mahony is to pedophiles. Matt Taibbi will write a scathing cover story for “Rolling Stone.” Everyone will blame Bob Filner, SeaWorld and Sherri Lightner, not necessarily in that order. We will be the butt of every late night comedian’s bad jokes for years to come. The point being, the “new idea” for moving the sea lions, isn’t a very good idea. On a brighter note, I’m sure another study will fix everything. Mike Gold
Blah blah blah ... it continues to get worse, not better ... blah blah blah ... The Jewel? No, The Stool ... blah blah blah ... Everyone involved with this fiasco is to blame, from top to bottom ... Do you think if this were hurting tourism, it would be allowed to continue? ... blah blah blah ... Follow the money ... Every member of the City Council should be required to gargle with water from the Children’s Pool and The Cove each meeting ... now that would be interesting entertainment! Pete Ward
More memories of Al, ‘The Pearl’ What a beautiful surprise to see Al of the Pearl remembered in the wonderful article by Brad Wood in the Oct. 6 issue. It brought back so many memories of a beloved old friend, and possibly, the most genuine person I’ve ever known. His name was Al Arffman and, yes, Brad, he was a professional dancer, having been associated with the famous dancer, Ruth St. Denis and her Hollywood studio. I knew him from my association with the dance group. He used to live on Texas Street in San Diego, before moving to La Jolla. Other dancers, including his good friend and teacher, Dorothy Lee Tifal, and I, would visit him and take part in his little backyard shows. My husband, son, and
Stores need to account for their wayward shopping carts I live on Eads Avenue near Pearl Street. I frequently note shopping carts from CVS, BevMo and Vons left behind our building on Mable Lane, left on the sidewalk at the back of CVS on the Eads Avenue sidewalk, and many other areas of the Village. Recently, my husband said he watched a cart roll across Pearl Street and hit a car on Eads. This is a problem and home owners have to collect the truant carts and return them to their stores. CVS, BevMo and Vons should do the right thing and be required to install tracking and wheel-locking devices on their carts. Homeless people often use the abandoned carts and their plastic bags attract rats and birds. I’ve see carts rolling toward cars and carts left in parking spots and driveways. The carts should receive a ticket like a car violating the parking rules. This impacts all of us and it contributes to our amazing Village looking run down. I’m suggesting that the organization trying to improve the Village make it a priority to meet with managers at CVS, BevMo and Vons to see how they plan to fix this urgent issue. Debbie Hill-Williams
Silly glut of campaign signs are ineffective and an eyesore The letter in last week’s Opinion section hit the nail right on the head regarding the plastering of election posters everywhere. And when the election is over, will they stay up to add to all the trash that is already along the road? I, too, am an open-minded person and a party non-declared, but there is no way I will vote for the candidate responsible for this visual pollution! IB ■ WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?

New Children’s Pool lifeguard tower closed amid rats, rust, sewage BY LAURYN SCHROEDER Union-Tribune Watchdog Report On June 27, the City of San Diego opened the new $4.7 million lifeguard tower at La Jolla Children’s Pool beach — a milestone that was to be short-lived, as the facility closed three weeks later amid sewage backups and other construction flaws. On July 18, a bank of public restrooms that were part of the project overflowed, leaking into the lifeguard showers and locker rooms and eroding sand banks below. The city paid $1,400 to clean up the mess — only to have the toilets back up again (and pay another $1,200). The public toilets remain closed today, pending further fixes. Lifeguards have retreated to a nearby temporary trailer, where they have running water. The project, originally pegged at $3 million, has been plagued with delays, permit problems and design hiccups from the beginning, according to a U-T Watchdog review of public records. Drinking fountains, door handles and railings are already starting to rust. Rat and bird feces surround the building’s exterior because of missed opportunities to keep pests away. “It’s just poor construction — design flaws that were overlooked and now we’re paying for it,” said Chester Mordasini, president of Teamsters Local 911, the union that represents more than 160 lifeguards. “It’s my opinion that the inspections did not hold the contractors accountable.” Lee Swanson, a spokesperson for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, said a number of unexpected delays and site conditions added to the project’s cost and lengthened its completion time. All construction was inspected and deemed complete before the city took possession of the tower in June, he said. The tower was “built to standards,” Swanson said. “There are operational issues that we are working to rectify, but they are not the result of poor construction.”
Not according to plan
Construction of the Children’s Pool tower, which monitors nine city blocks, including one of the most dangerous rip currents in the city, is nearly four years in the making. It’s one of three recently built along La Jolla’s shore. The city entered a contract with Stronghold Engineering Inc. of Riverside in December 2012. The agreement included demolishing the old tower (condemned by city officials in 2008), engineering and design services and the construction of a new 1,900-square-foot facility, equipped with public restrooms for beachgoers. Construction began in July 2013 and was expected to last eight months. Lifeguards operated out of the pod-like temporary trailer, installed when the old tower was condemned. Construction didn’t go as planned. There was unexpected demolition of the old tower’s drainpipes and foundation, which contractors had planned to use for the new facility. Three seal breeding seasons caused delays. Even seagull nests blocked progress. “Nesting seagulls are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act,” said Scott Robinson, a City senior public information officer. “Seagull nesting at the site stopped construction activities by a total

The new $4.7 million lifeguard tower at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla opened to the public in June, and promptly closed three weeks later with a plethora of problems, including sewage backups at the new restrooms. of four months.” Before long, the project was pushed well past its completion date. Borre Winckel, CEO of the San Diego Building Industry Association, said building regulations in California make delays and extra expenses unavoidable at times, but he was surprised that a lifeguard tower would cause as much trouble as it did. “In a state with the longest coastline in the country, we should have a templated kit on how to build a lifeguard tower by now,” Winckel said. “Deviation from the original design could have created a domino effect.”
Unplanned expenses
As of July, at least 30 unplanned expenses listed on contractor purchase orders have increased the lifeguard tower project bill by more than $430,000. Added expenses included $60,800 for portable toilets and cleanup and $20,000 in extra building permits because of delays. Records show nearly $87,000 of sewage system upgrades were added to the project to ensure the facility’s plumbing could handle public and lifeguard use — though the upgrades apparently were not enough to meet the challenge. Windows for the observation deck were installed at an angle that created a mirror effect, so lifeguards looking out at the shoreline to the north had to peer through a distracting reflection of the shoreline to the south. Stronghold tacked on an extra $2,650 to redesign the deck and re-install the windows. Eventually, the City officially accepted the building from Stronghold in June of this year, records show, although Stronghold continues to work on the facility today. For at least some of the post-acceptance work, taxpayers are footing the bill. “This is a service call and [we] will be charging for our time,” said an e-mail to city officials from Denny McGahey, a project manager at Stronghold, after the first sewage backup. Swanson, of Fire-Rescue, said the facility’s sewer pumps were designed to be capable of withstanding materials up to two inches in diameter, easily handling most materials and products flushed down the toilet. However, items such as diapers, articles of clothing
and feminine hygiene products were flushed, which clogged the facility’s sewer pumps, he said. The pump system as initially designed had its limitations. In January 2014, designs were upgraded at a cost of $35,100 to include a new sewer pump and four-foot-by-eight-foot sewer basin to prevent backups. According to the manufacturer, the pump does not come with a macerator, which would have ground down larger items thrown into toilets for better flow. Robinson, the City spokesperson, said City officials met after the backups with the pump manufacturer and decided to install a new pump system with a bladed vortex that can better handle frequent use and the irregular items beachgoers flush. “A new remote notification alarm system will also be installed to notify City personnel of high wastewater levels and of any pump failures,” he said. The proposed work will be completed in a few weeks, pending availability of material, he said. The additional work will not be covered under warranty, Robinson said, and costs have not been finalized. Brian Silva, a plumber in San Diego who has serviced dozens of sewage systems all over the City, said the basin as installed is small for such a significant public facility, especially one that would be used on a frequent basis. Silva said he installed a larger basin in a restaurant’s basement, connected to one toilet that would only be used by employees. Public restrooms in particular are subject to a wide range of abuse, he said, and installing a grinder would have prevented larger items from backing up the system. “Hundreds of people are going to be using it. There will be a line outside the door at all times,” he said. “Since the City has built this kind of facility before, they probably should have known better.” Robinson said grinders are not a standard for City restrooms.
Unavoidable impacts
According to Robinson, there was nothing officials could have done to prevent the delays, extra costs or current issues with the
tower. The City carefully plans to avoid risks and proactively prepares for all scenarios to minimize the high cost of construction and service delays, he said. “However, even with all the planning and numerous measures taken to deliver the project on time and on budget, unique unavoidable impacts occurred,” Robinson said. Currently, the City holds an open bidding process and chooses the company that can perform the work at the lowest price. According to court records, Stronghold has been involved in more than a dozen lawsuits alleging breach of contract, intentional interference with contractual relations, fraud, negligence and wrongful death. A Stronghold project manager in San Diego referred questions about the lifeguard tower to the City, and the corporate office did not respond to a request for comment on its track record elsewhere. The majority of the lawsuits accuse Stronghold of delaying projects with design changes, increasing its cost with expensive purchase orders and withholding payment to subcontractors on projects with government agencies including the Navy and Internal Revenue Service. In 2011, All Day Electric Company Inc. filed a lawsuit against Stronghold accusing the contractor of withholding more than $4 million in compensation for work performed at Camp Pendleton. The Solana County firm’s lawsuit said Stronghold was responsible for numerous delays in construction and a significant increase in the project’s total bill. The project and All Day Electric’s “work was delayed, made more difficult and expensive, and at times impossible,” because of Stronghold, said the complaint filed in federal court in San Diego. The parties reached a private settlement in 2013. San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner said issues with Stronghold and other lifeguard tower contractors were the main motivation behind the Purchasing and Contracting Charter Amendment, appearing on next month’s ballot as Measure H. Lightner said the amendment would allow City officials to consider both cost and quality of work to provide a better value for taxpayers.“There needs to be more flexibility in how we award these contracts,” Lightner said. “We can then make sure we’re hiring someone who’s qualified to do the job.” Swanson, the Fire-Rescue spokesperson, said all capital improvement projects are inspected by the Public Works Department’s Construction Management and Field Services Division to ensure quality work. A “punch-list” of deficient items is created, and the City accepts the project only when all punch-list items are corrected. According to the sole list released by the City, there were more than 65 such items identified during a walkthrough of the tower on March 17, three months before it was accepted. The list says, among other things, that Stronghold diverged from original building plans on several occasions, either constructing items incorrectly or not installing them at all. For example, a shower seat was installed backwards, drains were left uncovered, screws and thresholds were rusting and the paint job was incomplete.

FROM STORMWATER, A1 Tourmaline surf beach is home to a storm drain where stormwater collected in the 2.4 square miles watershed empties out into the ocean. The Surfer Health Study found a presence of the biological marker HF183, used to detect human fecal pollution in water environments, in the discharges of five out of six storms measured from Jan. 15, 2014 to March 31, 2015. Surfrider senior scientist Rick Wilson, one of the authors of the study, told La Jolla Light they also detected human viruses in more than 80 percent of the samples. “That was sort of alarming ... I don’t know that it was necessarily expected for Tourmaline,” he said, adding that perhaps a sewer leak was a cause for the fecal indicators in the stormwater. “We are talking about a sewer system that has been here for decades, many decades. So the results indicate to me that the findings are probably due to one of three things: either you have a leak into the sewer line or you have a faulty connection (somebody’s sewer line from their house or their business is connected to a storm drain), or you have homeless populations living in the watershed.” City Stormwater Division Deputy Director Andrew Kleis said there’s an ongoing investigation into the issue. “We not only want to be in compliance with stormwater regulation, we want the public to be protected, we want to find those sources, and program manager Ruth Colb’s team has spent a lot of time studying what those are, and we are finding that the conclusions are not complete yet.”
Colb’s team has been working on-site at the Tourmaline watershed. “What we’ve been doing is going out with biologists and the law enforcement team and starting at the watershed at the beach, taking different areas, breaking down into different groups so each branch is investigated,” she said. The City believes the cause of the presence of human markers in the storm discharges at Tourmaline could be a bacteria buildup due to waste water accumulation. In a statement, Public Information Officer Anthony Santacroce writes, “Problems range from leaking dumpsters, leaking private laterals, RV dumping into the curbs and gutters, birds and other wildlife, transient populations, trash, and the wrack line. (A wrack line occurs when the full moon’s extreme high tide pushes kelp and other debris high on the beach, and then birds and flies pick through it and defecate.) “Flies are a problem because they go to high bacteria areas (bird waste) and transfer the bacteria on their feet to other areas. Additionally, water waste that flows down the storm drain system during dry conditions can spur bacteria growth within the drains, contributing to increased levels of bacteria in the receiving waters.”
Our binary sewer system
San Diego, as opposed to many cities in the East and Midwest, has separate sanitary and stormwater sewer lines. Waste water from residential and industrial use is pumped to treatment stations where it goes through a number of processes to clean it up before it goes into the ocean. Stormwater, however, runs untreated to the Pacific. This binary system has pros and cons, but

Children look into a storm drain at WindanSea Beach (south of The Shack, Bonair Street). in scientist Wilson’s opinion, is mostly positive. “The combined sewers are good when the weather is dry (because all the water is treated), but it’s a horrible condition when you get rain, because with the combined sewer, there’s no way to handle the amount of flow,” he explained. “You get combined sewer overflows, and that is a major problem.” With the separated system, runoff is conducted through creeks, rivers and the stormwater system to the ocean untreated. That’s why the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health, in charge of measuring beach water quality, issues a general advisory for 72 hours after .2 inches of rainwater fallen within 24 hours. Land & Water Quality Division program coordinator Keith Kezer said, “Storm events are what impacts our water quality the most. Runoff is where contamination comes from. All the stuff that gets deposited, the oil, the spill, the metals ...” But not only stormwater goes into the gutters. City inspector Colb explained, “It’s critical for folks to understand that our stormwater system starts in your driveway, although the water may run down for 10 blocks before it goes down a drain.” Kezer agreed. “People over fertilizing or using pesticides before it rains, or those washing cars on driveways help exacerbate the oil and grease and other contaminants. If you consider how many people live in the county, it doesn’t take much from each person to add up to something significant. The next big thing is to help people understand how their day-to-day activities impact water quality.” Water-saving measures made permanent in California by Gov. Jerry Brown in May via Executive Order B-37-16, have been used by City officials to prevent unnecessary discharges into the stormwater system. The order prohibits: Hosing off sidewalks, driveways and other hardscapes; washing automobiles with hoses not equipped with a shut-off nozzle; watering lawns in a manner that causes runoff (or within 48 hours after measurable precipitation) and irrigating ornamental turf on public street medians. City Code Enforcement officers visited Tourmaline beach at the beginning of October searching for possible sources of bacteria in the pipes and giving out written warnings to residents. On the stormwater system, the Surfer Health Study concludes, “Southern California simply does not possess the infrastructure to store and treat large volumes of stormwater runoff prior to its discharge at the beach. It also is unclear if
building this infrastructure — estimated to cost many billions of dollars — would be the most effective solution because state and federal beach water quality standards for health risk are based on scientific studies conducted exclusively during dry conditions in the summer.”
La Jolla stormwater infrastructure
Scientist Wilson said, “Most of La Jolla’s beaches are generally clean, compared to other areas. But I think the Surfer Health Study demonstrated that no matter where you are, don’t go surfing within 72 hours of rain, especially if the beach has storm drains, and even La Jolla Shores has one.” Storm drains in La Jolla are located at WindanSea beach — south of Nicholson Point (Coast Boulevard and Prospect Street), between Fern Glen and Vista de la Playa and south of The Shack (Bonair Street, adjacent to a popular surf reef brake) — and at La Jolla Shores at the end of Avenida de la Playa. La Jolla Shores is one of 34 Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) along the California coastline, and as such has special regulations. The State Water Board’s resolution 2012-0012 prohibits water discharges on the ASBS. However, the same resolution created exemptions where the public interest is in allowing certain discharges essential for flood control, slope stability, erosion prevention, and maintenance of the natural hydrologic cycle. The City oversees the La Jolla ASBS, and was granted an exemption to discharge stormwater onto La Jolla Shores under the circumstances listed above. However, the City has been working toward minimizing the impact of the discharges. The goal of the Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement Project & Sewer and Water Group Job 809 is to accomplish a low flow diversion and wet weather runoff mitigation. Santacroce elaborated, “Water quality standards are normally met (at La Jolla Shores) with a few exceptions for bacteria, total suspended solids (dirt) and dissolved copper — automobile brake pads grinding down with use, part of the reason the City co-sponsored (legislation for) removing copper from brake pads.” Other City programs to prevent urban runoff in The Shores include the Kellogg Park Green Lot Infiltration Project. Completed in 2011, the work replaced 18,000 square feet of asphalt concrete with pavement that captures surface water, and added a “vegetated bio-swale” and a filter bed to the parking lot.

FROM LIFEGUARD TOWER, A23 drainage issues, such as sink backups, stagnant water and shower runoff pooling against the side of the building. During site visits in August and again this past week, U-T Watchdog saw rusting fixtures, water pooling against the side of the building and drains covered with temporary plates.
Health issues
After the tower’s acceptance by the City, lifeguards noticed an odor emanating from a sewage trap in the basement. A six-square-foot opening into the trap was covered with an open grate, allowing sewer gasses to fill the building, especially on warm days. E-mail records show guards told City officials in mid-July. In August, lifeguard Sgt. Marcus Schreiber sent an e-mail to City engineers. “It has been recently brought to my attention that a significant odor is still present in the Children’s Pool facility,” he wrote. “Guards are reporting this to be unbearable at times.” Swanson said the City removed the open grate and installed a solid plate over the hole to help contain the odor at the end of September. The City also plans to steam clean the area and apply an acrylic seal to the floor to further minimize the smell on a permanent basis. Officials began preparing a purchase order for the work this past week, he said. Another message from Schreiber in August indicated that there was “a significant [rat] infestation in the hollows between the siding and the facility,” he said. “Three large rats were seen in the new facility.” E-mails show lifeguards had also complained of a rat and ant infestation at the temporary trailer in October 2015. During this time, the City was paying Cartwright Termite and Pest Control, Inc., $35,000 to control gophers, ground squirrels, mice and rats at 10 City parks and beaches, including the Children’s Pool. Swanson said exterminators began visiting the Children’s Pool site in September of this year to remedy the infestation. The Watchdog found a dead rodent near the trailer Oct. 6.
OUR RATES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
Bird problems
In 2011, bird feces began to pile up around the condemned building and surrounding areas, while lifeguards occupied the temporary trailer nearby. Staff requested that the City bird-proof the area to ensure the health and safety of lifeguards frequently exposed to the fecal matter. In response, Michelle Abella-Shon, a project officer for the City, said they could not “continue to spend thousands of dollars on a building that’s going to be demolished. However, our No. 1 priority is the health and safety of our fellow staff.” Erik Jones, a City lifeguard for more than two decades, said he was one of three employees that contracted meningitis while working at the Children’s Pool that year. Jones said lifeguards were surrounded by a buildup of seal, seagull, pigeon, rat and squirrel feces on both the condemned and temporary facility. “There was about six inches of feces,” Jones said. “It was pretty filthy.” Meningitis is a swelling or inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. Humans can contract a certain type of fungal meningitis by inhaling dust or dirt contaminated with bird feces. “I can’t prove that my meningitis was from there but I got it in April and two weeks later another co-worker got it, and then another co-worker got it,” he said. Jones said the City would not cover the medical expenses or reimburse the sick time because it was not a work-related injury. City officials declined to discuss the meningitis cases, citing health privacy laws. E-mails show the City sent cleanup crews to the condemned tower to address the fecal buildup. Despite the City’s history with bird proofing and rat infestations, a large amount of bird and rat feces started to accumulate around the new tower, and on rails and landings. Officials listed bird-proofing as an “unexpected expense” for the new building, adding another $25,300 to the total bill in December 2015. “It’s like they don’t learn their lesson,” Mordasini said. “If you don’t bird-proof it, it will be covered in bird droppings in no time at all and it builds up quickly.”

COURTESY
MCASD marks its 75th year with a new director BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT n Oct. 18 — the 75th anniversary of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), Kathryn Kanjo will officially become the museum’s new Director/CEO, taking over from Hugh Davies, who has held the position for a record 33 years. In a recent interview, Kanjo talked candidly about her personal and professional life. “Even as a kid, growing up in Redlands, I was involved in the arts,” she said. “Redlands is a little college town in the foothills, not that far from Los Angeles. My dad was an English Lit professor at the university, and they had a gallery there. I took art classes, I went to museums like LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) with my mother and my aunt, and for my birthday, I’d get art supplies.” At the University of Redlands, she started out majoring in English. “I realized I was taking so many courses in Art History that I had a double major,” she said. “All those 8 a.m. classes with slides, where everyone else falls asleep — I liked those! One of my professors helped me get an internship at LACMA — as an undergraduate, which is very unusual — and I worked in a commercial gallery as well.” She went on to get her Master’s in Art History and Museum Studies — a new field, at the time — at USC. “I was interested in LA art of the 1960s, but I did my thesis on a 19th century American painter, which led to my first post-graduate gig, at the Whitney Museum in New York. I was only 25, and I was managing one of their satellite branches, a 5,000-square foot space, where I got to show masterpieces of American Art.” One of the exhibits she curated featured a range of contemporary artists dealing with childhood issues. Davies came to see the exhibit and offered her a position as Assistant Curator at MCASD. “My mother said, ‘Oh! You’ve always wanted to work SEE MCASD, B17

Welcome Aboard!
Navy and Marine Corps veteran creates nautical universe BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN ing, ding … ding, ding,” chimes the nautical clock every half hour inside the Nautical History Gallery & Museum at 1012 Pearl St. More than 10 model ships and hundreds of antique nautical artifacts from different eras in American history decorate the small room and workshop of Marine Corps and Navy veteran Joe Frangiosa. With the vision of a soldier, sailor and helicopter crew chief and the talent and attention to detail of a craftsman, Frangiosa made all the ship models in the exhibit and collected the numerous historic artifacts. He opened the space in March and since has been receiving visitors 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday to Sunday. Most of his ship models were built during his time in the Marine Corps between deployments as an escape from very stressful situations that will forever live in his mind. “I’d make them when I came back home, instead of going out and getting drunk or sitting around, because you can’t get things out of your head, the only way is to stay busy,” he said. Frangiosa started building ship models as a child in his home state of New Jersey, “But those weren’t like these here. They were from a plastic kit, but I would get bored with those and add dollhouse hinges and metal to make it work and more interesting, and that’s what eventually evolved to the handmade fabrication of the models you see now.” The materials he uses are chiefly wood and metal, but he also adapts ordinary objects for his purposes, like piano wire, pieces of jewelry and shoe parts. “I use all kinds of interesting jewelry pieces to make the models more detailed, but I still like to have the texture of metal and wood,” he said.

eople think telephone surveillance is a new thing but then, they’re not old enough to have grown up with a party line. Eat your heart out, NSA. Sixty years ago, the entire country was listening in on each other’s phone conversations. Back in the Pleistocene Era of telephonics, which is to say, my youth, phones were just these clunky black things with a handset and a rotary dial. In my area at least, the only thing the rotary dial was good for initially was to dial “O” (for operator) and wait for a nice lady (always a lady) to say, “What number, please?” which you’d tell her using your actual voice. When direct dialing came out and you could dial local numbers yourself, it was the hottest thing since sliced bread (which, by the way, revolutionized commercial baking in 1928. All those nice even pieces!) But direct dialing also put most of those operator ladies out of business. There must be a special home for them where they sit serenely and stick plugs into a big switchboard and say “I’ll connect you now.” In many areas, especially rural ones, party lines — multiple families sharing the same phone line — were the only option. On party lines, only one household could use
the line at a time, and the phone company implored people to be considerate and restrict their calls to five minutes. Like that happened. Complaints about line hogging were legion. Even the 1959 Best Picture winner, “Pillow Talk,” portrays a feud between two people sharing a party line. (They ultimately fell in love which was not how it usually worked out in real life.) Party lines were the original Information Superhighway, an early version of social media. You could listen in on everyone else’s conversations which, of course, was pretty much the favorite national pastime. (Sorry, baseball). Now that virtually everyone has a private line, we’ve all gotten out of the expectation that anyone is listening in. So we’re offended when we find out the NSA has been recording our private phone calls. I’d like to point out that at least the NSA doesn’t gossip about you. Maybe harass you at the airport, but you don’t have to worry about them spilling your private information to your neighbors in the produce aisle. Actually, this trip down telephonic memory lane was inspired by a question from my 6-year-old granddaughter about a
built-in alcove in the hallway of our 1947 home. I was explaining that it was something called a “phone nook,” which housed the single largely-immobile phone that most people owned at the time. “So, it’s a charging station?” she replied after some thought. This was as close to her reality as this was going to get. “Where do you plug it in?” Pondering how to explain this to her, I could see that it was going to be a long way from rotary dial to iPhone 7. In fact, I remember one of the greatest improvements of my teenage life was the invention of the curly-cued phone extension cord so you could drag the handset around the corner into the coat closet and get some illusion of privacy. (Believe me, it was an illusion.) Privacy would only come with the invention of cordless phones and then finally cell phones which have replaced pretty much every other piece of electronics heretofore known to man. From a 68-year-old’s view, old-style phones have some distinct advantages over cell phones. First, there is a lot to be said for a phone that can be used without a) a manual, and b) an operating system whose constant upgrades make everything you previously knew how to do on it obsolete. The other really big loss with cell phones is that you can’t slam them down. There was always something so inherently satisfying about being able to slam down a telephone receiver. Clicking an Off button — or worse, tapping some wussy touch screen — does not give one the emotional release that the solid slam of a plastic receiver on a telephone base could ever give. No wonder

The phone nook in Inga’s 1947 house the whole country is so full of pent up anger. For that reason, we still keep one wall-mounted landline with traditional receiver in our home for use during election seasons. Considering the changes in telephones since I was a child, I try to imagine what my tiny grandchildren will be telling theirs about the archaic devices of their youth. Will phones still be an actual physical “thing” that you carry around and drop into the toilet at inopportune times? I’m guessing not. And as far as the NSA is concerned ... I know you’re listening, so would you mind spreading the word that Book Club has been changed from Tuesday to Thursday, and while you’re at it, that Susie Smith’s husband was overheard flirting with the nanny? — Inga’s award-winning lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

The Great Hall of The International House on the UCSD campus
UCSD ‘I-House’ keeps a global perspective on things
BY WILL BOWEN There’s a place on the UC San Diego campus where the celebration of difference, diversity and the global perspective is lived out on a daily basis. It’s called The International House, or I-House for short. I-House is actually a complex. It has four residence halls — Kathmandu, Cuzco, Geneva and Asante — which are embedded in Eleanor Roosevelt College. These halls house some 350 students from 40 different countries. I-House also has an architecturally significant event space, The Great Hall, which the San Diego Chapter of the
American Planning Association voted “the best event venue in the city, with the best catering.” Then there are administrative facilities where everything is overseen by I-House Director Henri Migala, Ed.D., M.P.H., who has a global background in archeology, anthropology and public health. It isn’t easy getting a room in the I-House dorms. First, you must get accepted by UCSD, and then by I-House. Students from any of the six colleges at UCSD interested in a global perspective can live there. I-House strives to have 50 percent students who are American-born and 50 percent foreign born. Some, like the transfer third- and fourth-year
students are degree-seeking, others are exchange students who live there for one year. Migala reviews all the applications and says the ideal applicant “is a student who is the first of his family to go to college and wants to learn with and from other international students.” Christina Chen is a foreign-born, fourth-year, degree-seeking student at I-House. She was born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. She landed a job as a Resident Assistant (RA) and lives in the dorms but also helps manage them. She’s a Cognitive Science major at John Muir College who is
not quite sure what she wants to do after graduation. “I-House has a very welcoming atmosphere. What I like is that I can talk with people, who like me, come from other countries,” she said.
Events open to the public
■ I-House is a close knit community and residents spend a lot of time together. They have many in-house activities; a popular one the public may attend is the 7-9 p.m. Wednesday Global Forum Discussions in The Great Hall. These feature talks with experts from around the world: Oct. 12 “What Brexit

See ‘Laughter On The 23rd Floor’: It’s better than a hit in the head! BY DIANA SAENGER Fans of Neil Simon’s plays have a treat in store as North Coast Repertory Theatre is staging his “Laughter On The 23rd Floor,” which opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Nov. 22, 1993, and closed on Aug. 27, 1994 after 320 performances. Tom Markus (who has directed more than 125 plays including classics, premieres, comedies and dramas Off-Broadway and for regional theatres and Shakespeare festivals) said he was happy to accept the offer to direct this one because “all the humor is crazy and it’s by Simon and his brother, Danny, about the TV show ‘Your Show of Shows’ that focuses on comedians such as Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks, Cal Reiner and others. I love Simon’s work and I was lucky to appear in eight of his plays as an actor or director.” Although Markus was not a part of the casting, he said he’s very excited that Brent Alters, Caroline Drage, David Ellenstein, Phil Johnson, Louis Lotorto, Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper, Omri Schein, Amanda Sitton and Christopher M. Williams are strong performers and make a great contribution to happy times. “This broad comedy is, in a sense, a memory play because it’s

interpreting the play is really a matter of finding the balance between a believable world and an extension or inflation of that world for comic purposes. We tried very
hard to make the characters plausible, but they do such outrageous things and say such outrageous things that it brings the comedy out of real human

experience.” American playwright Marvin Neil Simon (born July 4, 1927) began his writing career after serving in the Army Air Force Reserve and graduating high school. He’s written more than 30 scripts and nearly the same number of movie screenplays, mostly adaptations of his plays. He has received several Oscar and Tony nominations and a Pulitzer Prize. “Simon continues to remain one of the most popular writers in America because his humor is tied to how we behave,” Markus opined. “We laugh with and at ourselves at the same time we watch him take real situations and push them larger than reality until they become funny. He has an inordinate talent for that.” Markus said he wants the audience to leave the theater sharing the experience of a well done play. “It’s better to laugh than to get hit in the head,” he said laughing. ■ IF YOU GO: “Laughter On The 23rd Floor” takes the stage Oct. 19-Nov. 20 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

UDO NÖGER Light is permanent and yet always different. – (Dr.) Tayfun Belgin
Madison Galler y presents German artist Udo Nöger ’s solo exhibition, No More – No Less. Nöger works in a minimalist tradition, reducing ever ything he does “ to a point where there is no more, no less ”— a statement that captures the delicate balance anchoring his pared-down aesthetic. This quest toward a conscientious reduction of visual information, however, plays a supporting role in the artist ’s primar y cause: light. In Nöger ’s art light enters into the painting, illuminating the forms and then returning to the surrounding space that is its source. The paintings media is oil and acr ylic on layered canvas and fabric, which trap the light so as to transform it and send it back. Through his singular approach and unique suite of mediums, Nöger is ‘able to set the sur face free’ to get the purest light possible. The innovative construction draws viewers in while at the same time requiring them to step back, refocus, and reconsider. Udo’s works are part of numerous permanent public collections including Metropolitan Museum, NY; The Art Institute of Chicago, IL; Daum Museum of Contemporar y Art, Sedalia, MO; Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Bielefeld, Germany; Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany; Margulies Collection, Miami, FL; Microsoft, Chicago; Microsoft, San Francisco; Red Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV; and Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas, NV.
The Opening Reception will feature an artist lecture led by acclaimed art critic, poet and curator Peter Frank, Associate Editor of Fabrik magazine. Frank has contributed to many publications including the Huffington Post, The Village Voice, and LA Weekly and has written numerous catalogues for major exhibitions. He has worked curatorially with such institutions as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, and Documenta in Kassel, Germany, and has taught at several prestigious institutions including the Pratt Institute, Columbia University ’s School of the Arts, and University of California campuses in Ir vine, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara. Founded in 2001, Madison Galer y is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the galler y consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporar y art. Madison Galler y works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporar y galleries in California. Blouin Modern Painters Magazine has recognized our program for the fourth year in a row as one of the Top 500 galleries worldwide.

Couple marks 60th anniversary with a harbor cruise
W
ayne and Mary Shuart of La Jolla celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Oct. 1 aboard the California Princess cruiseship off San Diego Harbor with 60 friends and family. The couple met in high school when he was quarterback for the Sunnyslope High School football team in Phoenix, and Mary was a pom-pom rally girl. The attraction was immediate, they married at age 20 and 18 respectively. Wayne went on to build a career as a real estate developer in the Phoenix area, while Mary became a homemaker. They raised two children, Lisa and Lori. They have two grandsons, Cody and Logan, and one granddaughter, Courtney. Wayne remains active in faith-based activities such as Teen Challenge, and travels to speak at spiritual conferences. He also is an avid tennis player and plays doubles regularly at the La Jolla Tennis Club. One day he surprised his tennis partners with a homemade (by Mary) blueberry pie they are still raving about! The cruise, coordinated chiefly by their daughter, Lisa, featured hors d’oeuvres, dinner entrees, speeches by family and friends, a poetic reading by Lisa, and a slicing and serving of a tiered cake made of Twinkies, the dessert the couple shared on their first date. — Christ Milesis

A ‘Welcome Aboard’ sign greets guests at the entrance of the Nautical History Gallery & Museum. FROM NAUTICAL MUSEUM, B1 He joined the Navy when he was 19 and served for four years. He was honorably discharged and then joined the Marine Corps, where he deployed several times until retiring in 2015. “This is therapeutic for me so I’d love to inspire other guys — I haven’t been out that long and my buddies are still in. I visit them, and they come here,” he said. The Nautical History Gallery & Museum is, as Frangiosa puts it, “A peaceful place for me to be retired that I created.” Since a visit to the museum is free, he takes commissions for 3-D models and restores others, “so the rent pays itself off.” The 49-year-old moved to La Jolla in 2011
Joe Frangiosa repairs 3-D models from his workshop space.
The 1814 Vermont features three gun decks.
when he was stationed in the Miramar Marine Air Corps Station. He met local artist James Quint and eventually rented out the Pearl Street storefront from him (space used by Quint Galleries for storage). “Quint discovered me,” he laughed. Two of Frangiosa’s models are currently part of the “Steering Small” exhibit at the Maritime Museum of San Diego, 1492 N.orth Harbor Drive.
A glance at U.S. Navy history
“Have you ever held a sail ship cannon ball?” Frangiosa asked, holding a heavy iron cylinder about 2 inches in diameter located near one of his ship models. The room is decorated with sextants, telescopes, port
holes, post lights, anchors and all sorts of nautical artifacts collected through a lifetime, which help him tell the story of the U.S. Navy from its beginnings to the aircraft carrier age. • In the 1790s, he explained, Congress appropriated funds to create an official Navy to defend the country from pirates. The USS Constitution is Frangiosa’s model of a three-mast frigate of the time. “They were very powerful, strong, fast, ships. They are not that large, but they could do the job against any enemy,” he explained. • The next sailboat model in the chronology is the USS Vermont, built in 1814 and similar to the USS Constitution, but with one innovation: It featured three
stacked gun decks instead of one. The ship manned by 1,100 soldiers contained 110 guns. “This is a very powerful ship of the time,” Frangiosa said. “There were a few of these, and they actually served in the Navy, but it was after The War of 1812, so they didn’t have any real wars to use it in.” • Still a work-in-progress is the side paddle steamship. This ship featured coal boilers that heated up steam, which traveled through the engines and made the paddles spin. “With paddle wheelers, the engines were built in the center of the ship and then there were paddle wheelers on each side. They are the direct evolution from the age of sail ships, the age of wooden sail to the steam era.”

Work-in-progress side paddle steam ship. ‘I’m trying to up my game in the detail, working with the metal and the wood,’ Joe Frangiosa said. • The Civil War (1861-1865) was fought with a combined fleet of sail and steam ships. The Union Gun Boat is the miniature of an all-iron, 150-foot warship used in the era featuring a single propeller at the back instead of two on the sides. Manned by 60-70 people, “She was the latest innovation from the side wheeler, more efficient, and everything was just getting better; easier to operate. Ironclads, as they were called, were made with better and stronger things, the anchors were designed differently, the ship’s wheel is iron with wood, instead of just all wood, more durable and better.” • A ship from the Spanish-American War (1898) is also featured in the gallery, the USS

Details of the USS Maine model
Maine. Built in 1895 using steel instead of iron and manned by 3,400 soldiers, the ship was 325 feet long and had two triple expansion steam engines. The ship’s explosion is regarded as the cause of the Spanish-American War. Frangiosa explained, “They sent this ship down (to Havana Harbor during the Cuban War of Independence) as a presence to help. It blew up. The government thought, or used it (to start a conflict with Spain), and the American public believed it. At that point, the Navy sailed off down to Cuba and anywhere the Spaniards were, attacking their fleet until we destroyed it. Later in 1950s, a Navy admiral discovered that The Maine could not have been blown up by the
Model of a dreadnought battleship
Spanish, it was an accident and a tragedy.” • The Dreadnought was a battleship used during the first part of the 20th century. “See the smaller people,” he commented, “this ship is really long in real life, so in order to be able to transport the model around and make it workable, I did a smaller-scale version, but it still shows the intensity of the ship. It was eventually modernized; they changed the guns and started adding aircraft, as the Navy got into aviation. This model shows a lot of the evolution, with the first wire and the communications from ship to ship, all the big antennas and things like that. It’s an interesting time period for the Navy.” • The final ship in the collection is the USS
Langley, which Frangiosa said was the first aircraft carrier. “They took an old WWI coal-carrying ship and built a wood flight deck across the top of it because we didn’t have the money to build an aircraft carrier. There were no wars at the time, so she operated as an aircraft carrier between 1922 and 1936. When we had newer aircraft carriers built, they took half the flight deck off and made it a seaplane base. During WWII, she was in the Java Sea and was sunk by the Japanese in 1942 as a seaplane tender,” he said. ■ IF YOU GO: The Nautical History Gallery & Museum at 1012 Pearl St. Admission is free.

‘The Lion’ offers ‘paws’ for musical reflection
I
t may sound a little different — an entire play about a guy singing and playing, not one, but six guitars. Still, the rousing applause at the end of “The Lion” on opening night at The Old Globe, conveyed that not only is this an exciting show, but that Benjamin Scheuer’s real life story is touching, and his delivery about it quite unique. Scheuer makes it clear as he picks up a guitar, that this performance is based on his relationship with his father. His father played old folk songs on the guitar, and Scheuer wanted to be just like him. He was so excited when his dad made him a cookie-tin banjo from remnants in the basement, that “The more we play together, the more I fall in love with music,” Scheuer says. He illustrates this by hopping from one type of guitar to another exhibiting not only his talent on the strings but gingerly sharing bits of his home life with his mom, Sylvia, and two brothers, Adam and Simon. Scheuer reveals that his dad could have been a musician, but instead became a mathematician with a degree in economics from Harvard and a law degree from Columbia.
“He hands me a pick, one that’s little and black. He shows me the G Chord, I’ve never looked back,” Scheuer says as he picks up a different guitar and sings another of his life story-telling songs. One is a funny ditty about grasshoppers, flies, owls and lions, where he asks his father, “What does make a lion a lion?” His dad asks him what he thinks it is, and the young Scheuer says it’s a roar. From there, Scheuer continues playing and singing about lovely lion cubs, and a little pride. Is he referencing his own family? The songs are very beautiful and thoughtful with lyrics like, “It’s not how long the rain falls or how hard the wind blows, or how deep is the snow … it’s the way we weather the storm.” Throughout this continuous unveiling of his life through songs about his father passing, his own cancer and loss of the girl he loved, Scheuer is forthright and joyous each time he picks up a guitar. The audience is an invited guest to this unique and special performance, which certainly deserves its Drama Desk Award. ■ IF YOU GO: “The Lion,” runs through Oct. 30 at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

La Jolla winter jazz festival postponed? At a recent La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group meeting, chair Dan Allen reported the proposed winter jazz festival for La Jolla was no longer being considered for this year, but possibly 2017. After presentations to La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association and La Jolla Parks & Beaches, the event was tentatively approved for the first weekend in December. Allen said that organizer David Payne is “no longer planning to have the event in December of this year, but would like to have it in December of next year.” Payne could not be reached for comment.
City posts revenues, expenses on line
The City of San Diego made advancements to its budget-focused Web app — budget.sandiego.gov — that will provide residents unprecedented access to the City’s financial information. This includes the City’s revenue and expenditure data, and allows users to see spending trends and create charts that compare actual results to budgeted amounts in more than 30 different City departments. The budget visualization tool was launched in April 2015 so San Diegans could see more details on how the City budgets tax dollars. Early this year, seven years’ worth of budgets were made available, including this year’s. As of October, actual budget expenditures from Fiscal Year 2011 through Fiscal Year 2016, which concluded June 30, are also posted.

FROM MCASD, B1 there, a place where you could be involved with history in the making!’ I didn’t even remember I’d voiced that to her years before.” Kanjo had made the “big switch” to contemporary art.
Living the dream
“I’d always had a personal relationship with art, empathizing with each work I was studying in order to fully understand it,” she explained. “I’d imagine what I might have been like then, in that time, with that artist. But once I began working with living artists, I started thinking: I’m actually in this culture! Maybe I’ve got a leg up to understanding it! With contemporary art, you’re right in the middle of what’s happening, you’re anticipating what will become history!” From 1992-1995, as she went from assistant to associate curator at MCASD, she helped organize regional and trans-border projects. For an exhibit called “Common Ground,” she phoned local artist David Jurist to set up a studio visit. “He was a conceptual artist, and didn’t have anything in his studio, so we just had a meeting. We discussed art, and then we discussed having a date. He never got into the exhibit, because he didn’t have anything to show, but he did get into my life. When I was offered a job as Curator of Contemporary Art in Portland, he followed me up there. In 1997, we got married, and now, here we are, 19 years later, back where we first met!” There were a few stops in between. Their daughter, Virginia, now a freshman at Cal Poly, was born in Portland, but when the new century brought Kanjo a new opportunity — Executive Director of Artpace, San Antonio — they moved on to Texas, where their son, Theo, was born. “That was a great time, when everything in my life came together,” Kanjo said. “A new city, a new state, my first directorship, working with high-caliber artists, and then a
new baby — and Artpace had onsite daycare!” Managing to merge home-life and career hasn’t been easy, Kanjo admitted. “But I had models: my parents both worked, and considered themselves feminists. So I knew what to look for in a partner, and David’s a terrific husband and father.” After seven years of successes in San Antonio, Kanjo returned to her home state, as Director of the University Art Museum at UC Santa Barbara. Then, in 2010, Davies lured her back to MCASD by creating a position for her: Chief Curator. Last year, she was promoted to Deputy Director, and this year, as Davies neared retirement, she was the perfect choice to replace him. “I think my greatest skill is storytelling — translating the visual experience into a verbal one, giving voice to visual art,” Kanjo said. “And my enthusiasm! A museum assumes an audience; if you want to connect with them, you have to make your language enjoyable and clear.”

Looking to the future
“Even though I’m privileged to have Hugh staying on as director of expansion, I’m the CEO now: the buck stops here,” she said. “But I’m a good manager, good at developing a team of vital people, and I’m excited to be in control. We have to close our La Jolla site for a spell, (the museum will close in January for a major renovation and expansion) but we’ll still be doing lectures in La Jolla, and we’ll be working hard to maintain our audience.” One thing is certain: She’ll be sharing her passion for personal engagement with the arts. “Art helps us see the world differently and understand things more fully — if we let it,” she said. “I want to bring back the awe and the wonder.” In July, Kanjo and her family moved from Scripps Ranch to La Jolla. These days, after she drops her son off at La Jolla High, she takes a walk along the ocean. So keep an eye out for MCASD’s new director. She’s in the neighborhood now.

ArtPower to bring three nights of hot sounds to UCSD BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Love music, especially when it’s close to home? October is a great time to discover ArtPower, UC San Diego’s fine purveyor of music, dance and movies from around the world. This season, ArtPower is introducing “American Routes,” a series of concerts featuring the diverse traditions that have shaped America’s music, from bluegrass, gospel, folk and country to jazz, blues, rock and soul. October’s lineup includes the first of these, an acclaimed group of gospel singers from Texas, along with a Brooklyn-based Japanese jazzman and a Cuban big band. ■ Takuya Kuroda, 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 at The Loft. Tickets: $23–$35. Born in Kobe, Japan, trumpeter/composer Kuroda, came to the United States 13 years ago. He couldn’t speak English, but he could jam, and he soon found a place in New York’s jazz scene. An eclectic artist whose compositions include everything from jazz to funk, hip-hop and Afro-beat, his 2014 Blue Note release, “Rising Son,” brought him into the spotlight, and he’ll be introducing selections from his just-released album, “Zigzagger,” at The Loft. HIROYUKI SEO
Japanese-born trumpet player Takuya Kuroda combines sounds of jazz, soul, hip-hop, Afrobeat and electronica.
■ Jones Family Singers, 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26 at The Loft. Tickets: $23–$35. These five sisters, two brothers, and their father, Bishop Fred Jones, have been bringing their roof-raising shows to churches and music festivals for some 20 years. Praised by Rolling Stone magazine and NPR as “a must-see act,” they go way beyond traditional gospel, revealing the clear links to rock and soul. Last year, they were a hit at both Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center, and now they’ll be here, in The Loft’s intimate setting, where you can get really close to their jubilant sounds. You’ll have to move fast to snag seats, though; this one is sure to sell out.

Led by trumpeter Jesús Alemañy, their irresistible dance tunes recall the big bands of 1940s Cuba. Bonus: Early arrivals will be treated to a free, Latin dance lesson at 7 p.m. and following the performance, there’s an AfterParty at The Loft.

Tickled Pink:
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
W
hile October embodies the colors of autumn from the rich hues of the foliage to the symbolic black and orange of Halloween, it is also designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month adopting pink as its color of hope and inspiration. Here is a list of pink-pigmented foods that are also Herculean warriors to ratchet up immunity and ward off the breast cancer foe. One Fish, Two Fish, Pink Fish, Blue Fish: Wild-caught, cold-water fish (please, no bottom feeders) with a goodly store of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids provide a defensive weapon against breast cancer. You can’t beat wild-caught salmon, whether fresh or canned (with Omega-3 and calcium-rich skin and bones intact). Magenta-tinged seaweed and other oceanic veggies are also treasure-troves of nutrients, especially the fatty acid chlorophylone to fend off cancer cells. Wild-caught pink shrimp (Argentinean or Key West) along with domestic lobster — the gold standard of seafood are scrumptious low fat, low carb, protein-packed delights containing a motherlode of Vitamin B’s to mellow out nerves, and omega-3’s and zinc to amp up the immune system and heal
wounds. So get crackin’ with a steamed whole lobster, zippy seafood cocktail, stir fry, or savory chowder (recipe featured). Use Your Bean, Think Pink: Studies have linked high folate levels to reduced risk of breast cancer by nearly 50 percent. Folate-rich hearty lentils with an ample store of calcium, protein and iron come in Technicolors of green, brown, yellow and pink! Use as a staple in soups, stews, salads, pilafs and curry dishes for an anti-cancer oomph. In the Pink, Fabulous Fruit Fighters: The papaya, a tropical treasure nicknamed “Fruit of the Angels” by Columbus, has a luscious orange-pinkish pulp loaded with powerful anti-inflammatory and digestive enzymes, immune boosting Vitamins C, E and A, along with folate, potassium and fiber. Every part of this nutrient-packed exotic is edible, including the glossy black seeds with peppery undertones, making a great salad dressing or marinade. Scoop out seeds and reserve, stuffing the hollow with shrimp salad or chili lime quinoa, or whet your whistle with a frothy papaya smoothie. A powerhouse of cancer-fighting antioxidants (beating green tea and red wine) pomegranates have been found to
neutralize erratic free radicals that cause assorted cellular damage. So sprinkle some juicy ruby seeds on green salads, oatmeal or yogurt, or whip up a pomegranate sauce to enliven everything from wild-caught salmon and Persian stews to frozen treats, and pancakes. Pink-fleshed watermelon is a fat- and cholesterol-free gourd rich with Vitamins A and C to hike immunity, and B to dial-up energy. Ninety-two percent water, it’s naturally high in potassium and electrolytes for hydration and detox of the kidneys. In addition, the beautiful pinky hue endows it with the highest concentration of lycopene making watermelon a supreme cancer fighter. Toss spears with heirloom tomatoes, goat cheese and fresh basil. Add to stir-fries with choice seafood. Whip up thirst-quenching agua frescas or zippy watermelon mint margaritas to cool your heels. Radishes are a member of the venerable Brassicaceae family with cruciferous cousins including broccoli, cauliflower, and kale — mighty anti-carcinogens. Besides having a zip-a-dee-doo-dah taste and satisfying crunch, radishes are rife with Vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, stress-busting B6, and magnesium. This low cal carb has also been prized for flushing out toxins that cause indigestion. Vibrant fuchsia-fleshed pitaya or “dragon fruit,” so named because its skin resembles that of the fictitious reptile has a rich store of Vitamins B and C, and omega fatty acids to throw cancer under the bus. This surprisingly mild-flavored fruit adds a delicate creaminess to smoothies, and a pop of eye candy to fruit bowls, salad dressings
Seafood Chowder A-Go-Go ■ Ingredients: 1 jar tomato puree or sauce (26-ounce), 1-pound wild-caught salmon (cubed), 1 pound cod (cubed), 1/2 pound pink shrimp (shells removed), 1/2 pound scallops, 2 tablespoons olive oil or ghee butter; 2 celery ribs, diced; 2 garlic cloves, diced; 1 onion, diced; 2 carrots, diced; 1/2 cup white wine; 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds; pink salt and cayenne pepper to taste ■ Method: In a large saucepan, sauté vegetables in oil or butter until tender. Add wine, sauce and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Add fish/seafood and simmer 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
and salsas. Pink Rock Star: Pink Himalayan salt with a great supply of minerals and other essential elements, particularly copper, iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium boosts the immune system, alkalizes the body by tempering acid production, and regulates heartbeat and fluid levels. This precious pink salt also prevents the depletion of two essential hormones (serotonin and melatonin) to help hike mood and regulate sleep patterns.

The Woes (and Highs) of Workplace Feedback “You’re doing it wrong.” “You could be doing it better.” “I see room for improvement.” “So I guess we should probably go ahead and have a little talk.” “I’m also going to need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too.” Workplace feedback from managers can be an anxiety-inducing prospect, especially when, from some managers, even an unqualified Good job can be patronizing or dismissive. Pep talks laced with comments such as “You’re
not living up to your potential” can also elicit a sense of dread from employees when their managers stop by their desk or send an email. Good managers are deft at getting the best from their employees, usually through a system of constructive workplace feedback laced with gratitude and patience. Selfconfident employees will have a relatively easy time turning this constructive feedback into a positive experience and improve their performance. That’s not to say that even the most confident employees won’t take personally a certain level of criticism, even small. In fact, it is human nature to see workplace feedback as a type of confrontation, and such employee-manager interaction signals a potential threat. Workplace feedback assumes a power disparity. Disparities lead to power struggles. This struggle is primal in nature and infuses nearly all relationships, but especially those that affect our livelihood (i.e., our survival).
Aside from primal inklings, perhaps this fear of critique goes back to childhood report cards, not the grades, but the work habits and cooperation comments section: Excellent, above average, average, below average, poor. Passable, unacceptable. Great, good. These are all abstract terms that can fill people with anxiety without giving them any real information, any specific and constructive feedback. Some students hear these terms applied to their performance and come to think of themselves as average, or below average. And at some point, most people have experienced corrective feedback given so poorly as to make them perceive all performance feedback as something negative. This often occurs first at an early age, and by the time they reach the workplace, these people live in perpetual workplace anxiety when their boss is near. Tropes of the unhelpful boss offering maddening levels of negative feedback have been perpetuated (or called out) by popular
culture with such examples as the British and American versions of The Office, but most acutely by Gary Cole’s character Bill Lumbergh in the 1999 film Office Space, cartoonishly over-the-top but still embodying the type of frustrating workplace feedback that made this character an icon of ineffective management. A study by Zenger Folkman identified as a “pivotal competency” in distinguishing the most successful leaders the ability to inspire and motivate workers. Being able to do this, according to the study, has a direct correlation to high employee engagement and employee productivity. While being an inspirational leader may seem an obvious necessity, many managers do little more to foster this than the verbal equivalent of a “Hang in There” cat poster.

LA JOLLA HOMES & REAL ESTATE
PAGE B22 - OCTOBER 13, 2016 - LA JOLLA LIGHT
San Diego home price increases outpace most of California BY PHILLIP MOLNAR San Diego County home prices have increased more than most of California in the last year, a key real estate index showed. San Francisco and San Diego counties’ median home price is up 6 percent in the last 12 months, said the July S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices. Los Angeles and Orange counties’ price appreciation was 5.5 percent. Nationwide, median price increased 5.1 percent as prices near pre-recession peaks across the United States. David Blitzer, managing chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, wrote in the report that the nationwide index of 20 major cities is within .6 percent of reaching the records set in July 2006. “Given that the overall inflation is a bit below 2 percent, the pace is probably not sustainable over the long term,” he wrote. Blitzer predicted the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates by December but
mortgage rates would still be at historic lows and ikely not have a major affect on home prices. While the continued price increases are good for homeowners, it may be difficult for buyers to enter the market. “Incomes are so far behind that they need to do a lot of catching up before homes become more affordable,” said Svenja Gudell, Zillow hief economist, in a statement, “especially for those at the bottom of the income distribution and in the country’s most expensive arkets.” Nationally, Portland had the biggest price increase year-over-year by 12.4 percent, followed by Seattle at 11.2 percent and Denver at .4 percent. The lowest increases were in Washington, D.C., at 2 percent and New York at 1.7 percent. The San Diego County median home price was $498,000 in August, real estate tracker CoreLogic reported. It was the highest it reached n a decade, but not near the all-time peak of $517,500 peak set nearly 11 years ago.
