Cove lifeguards working amid ‘sewage gasses’

ith brushes in hand, Drake Richardson, Quinn Parker and Dashiel Richardson pose in front of the ghouly-fashioned window of Farm to Fork Juice on La Jolla Boulevard, Oct. 22, part of the crew of neighborhood kids who painted Halloween themes on the windows of participating businesses. Hosted annually by the Bird Rock Community Council, the painting party gets everyone in the spirit for the Oct. 31 holiday, when trick-or-treating takes place around town from 5 to 8 p.m. If any treats or beggars look suspicious, the police department reminds residents to call its non-emergency number (619) 531-2000.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A report from the Teamster Local 911 lifeguard union to the City of San Diego, which La Jolla Light has accessed, points out the presence of an open pump containing sewage inside The Cove Lifeguard Tower. It reads: “(There is) sewage in a sump pump that is located in tower. There is no ventilation and the lid is not airtight. Sewage gasses are constantly being breathed by staff.” The City of San Diego confirmed the existence of the problem via a statement from Public Information Officer Katie Keach and added that measures have been taken to remedy the situation. “The pump lid was dislodged. It has been re-secured and will again be airtight when a piece from the pump’s manufacturer arrives and is installed,” Keach wrote the Light. The pump room, which was used for storage, will be emptied out but will remain accessible, and a small area adjacent to the pump room will be enclosed “to ensure ongoing operability and accessibility to the pump for future maintenance and repair needs,” according to the City. The Cove Lifeguard Tower, which was officially opened in October 2015, cost $1.8 million and featured several problems during and after construction. The original schedule for the tower’s completion was March 2015, and alleged problems with the quality of the work done by the contractor and a storm that partially flooded the station under construction, pushed the deadline from the spring to the fall of 2015.

City says Children’s Pool Walk project to begin in June BY ASHLEY MACKIN After five years of planning and permitting (with changes in requirements and plan updates along the way), the City of San Diego has announced a construction start date for the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project: June 2017. Construction is expected to take six months. The announcement was made at the Oct. 24 La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory board meeting at the Rec Center, where City project managers and engineers spoke about the minor changes and where they were in the process. Back in 2011, organizer Phyllis Minick set out to improve the walkway area above Children’s Pool with plans that included widening the sidewalk, SEE CHILDREN’S POOL WALK, A4 Landscape architect Jim Neri’s plan for the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project.

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

lthough third-generation shoemaker Mohammed Alami has had a repair shop in La Jolla for just under two years, he’s had a longtime following of loyal customers that spans more than 20 years. Specializing in the repair of women’s shoes and leather goods, his shop sits at 7514 La Jolla Blvd. (near Pearl Street). He also helps those with orthopedic needs who live in surrounding assisted living facilities.

Are there any challenges with this business?

Where are you from originally?

“Casablanca, Morocco. I’ve been in the United States since 1979. My sisters moved out here before me and I decided to follow them out. I’m the only one in California, but that’s OK because I have a few good friends here.”

How did you get into this business?

“I’m a third-generation shoemaker, but I’m also the last one. I have a daughter who is a nurse, so no one will follow me in the business. But my father and grandfather were shoemakers, and I’m a shoemaker by trade, but I’m also a chef and a butcher. My dad owned three businesses and trained me in all three. But now I’m just doing this.”

Of those options, why did you choose to make shoes?

them better. But I also do a lot of heel repairs and sole repairs, dying jobs when shoes are scuffed or paint comes off, and other leather repairs, specifically jackets and purses. I also do a lot of orthopedic work to shoes to make them more supportive for those with certain needs. If someone has one leg longer than the other, I can make it so the shoe evens things out. Of if they need more support, I’ll build an arch into their shoes. I do everything by myself, because there aren’t a lot of people who have the expertise I have on these services.”

ASHLEY MACKIN

Working with leather comes easy to La Jolla shoemaker Mohammed Alami.

Why did you choose La Jolla for your store?

“I was in Pacific Beach for 22 years and it got really bad in terms of crime and drug- and alcohol-related behavior. I felt like I was babysitting the shop … and I had had enough. I’m here to make a living, I’m not here to see people mess around. Plus, a lot of my clients came from La Jolla to Pacific Beach to see me, so I thought I would come here.”

What does an average day consist of?

“I had a restaurant before, but it was hard to please “The number of clients I get varies day to day, sometimes everyone and keep up with the food industry. I found myself its five, sometimes its 10. … And the thing people come in working 16 hours a day and it got to be too much for me. I did here for most, is advice. They’ll bring some shoes and ask that until 24 years ago, when I decided to start this business.” how to take care of them or what they can do to preserve

LD O S

“Parking is a challenge here, the whole street (fronting the store) is two-hour parking, but people from some of the surrounding businesses will park here all day. One time, someone had their car here for days. This is La Jolla, it’s high class, and I think that brings things down to have a business van parked here all day. Some of the businesses are inconsiderate, but others are run by very nice people. It’s especially tough for me because a lot of my customers are from White Sands, Wesley Palms or other senior facilities. They have orthopedic problems and can’t walk very far, so someone has to drop them off. If someone older comes to me and needs me to fix their shoes so they can walk, but they have to park a few blocks away and walk, it becomes a problem. I never park in front of the business, I’ll go a few blocks away, so I can keep the spaces in front open.”

What are some misconceptions people have about shoe repair?

“I don’t charge based on how much the shoes cost, I charge based on the work. I’ll do the same service on an expensive pair of shoes and a cheap pair of shoes and charge the same amount.” — Next week: Meet La Jolla Riford Library’s Dennis Abad.

FROM CHILDREN’S POOL WALK, A1

heavily trafficked areas of San Diego during the summer. But our plan is to have a detour, so even if we have to shut everything down, there is still access.” In addition to the widening of the sidewalk so it is ADA-compliant, the project involves the installation of short sitting walls decorated in cobblestone and abalone to be consistent with surrounding walls in accordance with Neri’s concept. Planters with pockets of vegetation would also be established, with small post-and-chain fences around them, so they’re not stepped on. Post-and-chain fences would also line the edge of the wall to provide a visual barrier to keep people off the cliffs. The gazebo at the site would be untouched. Rick Engineering principal Kevin Gibson explained that by and large, “The project hasn’t changed, we just added more details to it.” One of the newer features not in the Neri plans is the installation of a modular wetland in accordance with the City’s water management guidelines. A modular wetland is a small bio-filtration system that will assist in treating the water that flows around the area before it enters the storm drain system. One minor derivation from the LJP&B-approved plans includes paving and striping improvements. All said, the total cost for the project is expected to be $575,000 – just over double the initial estimate. At its onset, the project was intended to be a privately coordinated effort. Minick raised the $250,000 originally needed for the work, largely through hefty donations, and with Neri applied for permits as they became necessary. But during that time, City requirements changed, including the number of permits, studies and scheduling (the work was hoped to be carried out concurrent to the Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower, but that did not occur). When the project became too expensive, and after funding was identified, the City took over management of the project as a public-private partnership. At one time, joking she would like to see the project complete “in my lifetime,” Minick thanked the engineers who presented at the October LJP&B meeting, adding “a lot of us have been waiting a long time for this.”

building new “sitting walls” and replacing old planters with new ones to cover crumbling walls — at a cost of approximately $250,000. Landscape architect Jim Neri was selected to design the plans. Neri’s renderings and beautification ideas were approved by LJP&B as a private project. However, a recent Fair Political Practices Commission opinion determined it would constitute a conflict-of-interest violation to have a contractor create plans and then bid on the same project. So Neri was excluded from carrying out the work, and the City took over the responsibility. Rick Engineering Company has been assigned to oversee the project. City Project Manager Michael Ramirez said, “When my team and I first got this project, we met with Jim Neri, who this group contracted to draft the concept plans, to learn about this project. … This is a fairly simple project, but because of where it is located, there are a lot of constraints we have to work through. The first one being the schedule.” In the area surrounding Children’s Pool, harbor seal pupping season is observed from December to May annually, and then there is a summer construction moratorium observed from Memorial Day (late May) to Labor Day (early September). Ramirez said the team would apply for a waiver from the summer construction moratorium – which he said he expects will be granted – so crews could work from June to December. “But that still only leaves us with six months, so we’re on a really tight schedule. We have to make sure we plan really well and go in with all of our i’s dotted and t’s crossed. Right now we are on track, and hoping to have the design complete and approved by January and then procure the contractor after that,” he said. At the same time, the City must apply for a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), which indicates there would be no significant impact to surrounding environmental conditions and an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) required by National Oceanic and

In November 2014, while the project was under the auspices of LJP&B, Neri acquired a final MND, but since that time, the requirements have changed and the City has to reapply for the document. Because the area is so heavily used by people and cars, Ramirez said the team is also working on a traffic plan to find a way to provide access to the overlook during construction of the sidewalk. “We would like to keep it open as much as possible during construction, but we are working on how we are going to do that now.” Fearing the crews would not finish in time, and would need to stop where they are on Dec. 15 in observance with harbor seal pupping season, LJP&B member Bob Evans asked what the traffic flow and street conditions would be if the project had to sit, partially constructed during that five months. City senior engineer Nikki Lewis responded, “that keeps us up at night” and that “everyone thinks six months is a long time for a sidewalk, but there are a lot of issues with working in one of the most

Why Fall may be the BestTime to Buy

Jan McKusick

Spring and summer usually get all the real estate glory with lofty accolades as the best time to buy a home—and, of course, the busiest. Meanwhile, their seasonal sibling, fall, often gets tossed to the leaf pile by potential buyers. Here are the reasons why Fall is a great time to buy; 1. Lower home prices. 2. Less competition. 3. Worn- out home seller's. 4. The holidays are around the corner. 5. Yearend tax credits. 6. More quality time with your real estate team. 7. Home improvement bargains.

Crumbling ‘unimproved’ street leaves residents confused BY ASHLEY MACKIN Between potholes and uneven surfaces, chipped paint and deep cracks, there are many streets in La Jolla that could use repair. But did you know the City has a category called unimproved streets to identify certain roads, and the City’s resurfacing program does not cover these streets. For the residents along one of them, Calle Majorca in the La Jolla Mesa area, the classification has been a thorn in their sides for more than four years. With their street riddled with potholes and surfaces of two different depths, Maureen and Dick Gibbons’ began reaching out to the City in April 2012, hoping to get some major repairs scheduled. “It just killed me to see what I pay in property taxes, knowing I’ve been watching my street deteriorate and the City has done nothing about it,” she said. “The City has come and patched the potholes every now and again, but the patching doesn’t last. This street is like a forgotten soul.” There are three residents who live on the street, and they have no other entry and egress points. According to City documents, the 56-year-old street was constructed in 1960 and hasn’t been touched since. But when it was established, it was built as an unimproved street. In a string of e-mail correspondence between the City and the Gibbons, they were told of their street’s category in November 2015 by representatives from City Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office, but not what that category means. City public information officer Anthony

Potholes and uneven surfaces mark Calle Majorca in La Jolla Mesa. Santacroce explained to La Jolla Light that “an unimproved street is never built to basic standards. Essentially, these are streets where some asphalt was simply laid on top of dirt; most frequently for access to homes or to address dust/rutting of dirt roads.” San Diego Council Policy 200-03 (created to establish a policy regarding City contributions to the improvement of unimproved and partially improved streets in older urbanized areas) goes on to define an unimproved street as one that “has no surfacing or that has a minimum of surface treatment so that its thickness and quality are such as to be negligible.”

Related street categories

Unimproved streets are one of a few unique categories of public streets in San Diego. The list also includes improved streets, which are constructed to current design standards; marginal streets, aka partially improved streets with all-weather surfacing but not completely improved to the standards established for roads and streets in the urbanized area; and paper streets, which exist on maps but not in reality. Council Policy 200-03 states, “there are approximately 53 miles of unimproved streets in use and a sizeable portion of this inventory provides access to property in the

In addition, there are many more miles of street where existing improvements are not up to modern standards. These streets are in areas that were subdivided many years ago before street improvements were required in connection with subdivision development.” SEE CRUMBLING STREET, A21

La Jolla permit group reviews 3 projects with a ney, yeah, stay BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During its Tuesday, Oct. 18 meeting, La Jolla Development Permit Review committee (DPR) approved a project, denied another and continued a third to a later meeting.

Chelsea St. three-story

Denied was applicant Claude Anthony Marengo, whose proposal to build an 8,963-square-foot single-family residence at 5228 Chelsea St. was first presented Oct. 11 to rave reviews. Marengo was back last week with more project details. This time around, he faced opposition from community members. Larry Hogan, who identified himself as a Chelsea Street neighbor, brought up the possibility that the residence might become a short-time rental. Another neighbor, Mary Kinyon, elaborated, “I’m disturbed by this house’s (design plans), because it’s not in scale with the neighborhood; it’s much larger. It is two houses away from where I live. We’ve been inundated with short-term rentals, and I see the resulting increase in traffic, burglaries ... we’ve had the highest ever this year and it’s very upsetting. We want to have a safe and healthy neighborhood.” Marengo replied, “I guarantee you with this kind of project there won’t be any short-time rentals. It’s an expensive

project, if you short-term rent it, it would lose the value (of a new house).” DPR member Mike Costello proposed that the third floor deck be eliminated to reduce neighborhood unease as a roof deck could become a party area. “Decks aren’t really used (in our neighborhood). Taking off that deck is going to help alleviate the concerns of the neighbors in attendance and others who didn’t make it tonight. However, Marengo said he would not eliminate the deck. After a failed motion that findings couldn’t be made for a coastal development permit “due to the roof deck, the mass and configuration with the street, and the transition between old and new structures,” DPR member Brian Will reached an agreement with Marengo to set back (by six feet from the street) the third-floor bathroom, which is the only SEE PERMIT REVIEW, A8

FROM PERMIT REVIEW, A7 enclosed room on the proposed roof. “The reason I’m making this motion is if it is pushed back and someone is walking down the street, you won’t see it anymore, the parapet is going to block your view of that bathroom.” Marengo agreed to the setback and Will put forward a motion that findings could be made for the permit with this change, but the motion failed 3-4-0. Tensions rose during final arguments, with the high point being Marengo’s statement, “I’m just tired of this group doing of code compliance work in their committee, I think it’s inappropriate and should stop.” A final motion that findings could not be made for a coastal permit, passed with a 4-2-1 vote. The project will be up for ratification at the next La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, 6 p.m. Thurdsday, Nov. 3 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Going ‘Green’ on Camino de la Costa

The DPR committee approved a project to demolish an existing residence and construct a 5,886-square-foot two-story single-family home with a basement at 6436 Camino de la Costa. The project boasts 100 percent sustainability. The applicant plans to install 44 solar panels on the flat roof, use high-performance energy-saving glass, reduce the structure’s blueprint to boost stormwater infiltration and use recycled construction materials. Architect Lauren Williams showed the permitters a front courtyard separated from the street by a railing fence with flat, horizontal bars that originally featured 2 inches of space for every 5 inches of metal. “There is a security concern for our client,” she said. However DPR member Diane Kane questioned the home’s approachability. “So you are providing nice security for the people in the house, but there’s no interchange with what’s going on with the people in the street. And I think that’s a shame. We’re losing that interconnectivity, which is what makes community and

Truthfully, when we bought this house, our neighbors were so thankful we bought it, because we are friends, so we have an open-door policy.” An agreement was reached between the applicant and the DPR to keep the visibility of the railing fence at 50 percent, and the project was approved.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Car crashes into White Sands, killing resident A 96-year-old La Jolla man was killed Tuesday, Oct. 25 when a car slammed into the beachfront retirement home where he lived. The 53-year-old driver of a 2004 Oldsmobile ran a stop sign at the intersection of Pearl Street and Olivetas Avenue, lost control on a curve in the roadway and careened into the White Sands La Jolla around 12:20 a.m., according to San Diego Police Officer Dino Delimitros. The car crashed through an exterior wall and fatally struck the elderly victim as he was sleeping. The driver suffered an abdominal injury in the crash and was taken to a hospital. Delimitros said authorities were working to determine whether the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident. No other injuries were reported, Delimitros said. The extent of the damage to the building was not immediately known. — City News Service

Cove swimmer saves man at Boomer Beach La Jolla Cove Swim Club member John Klitsner participated in a heroic rescue Oct. 20, when a man who later claimed to be intoxicated, fell into the ocean near Boomer Beach and was unable to get himself out. At

around 7 a.m. that morning, Klitsner said he was walking his dog and observed a man stumbling near the cliff’s edge. “Some people walk out to that ledge to look at sea lions. And while I saw him, this guy was still on land, so I kept walking,” he said. “But a minute later, a woman saw him fall into the water and saw that he was trying to get up but kept sliding and crawling because the rocks were really slippery that morning.” Klitsner dove in to assist the man, but the waves pushed the two men around, and it was difficult to stabilize or grab a hold of something. “I grabbed him by the shirt and tried to keep his head up so he wouldn’t crack his head on anything,” he said, and to avoid the slipperiness of the rocks, Klitsner swam over to another location where the man could be pulled out of the water. “When we were out of the water, I looked up toward (Scripps Park) and people called down to me to say that 911 was coming. After a few minutes, but it felt like a long time, a lifeguard came and the ambulance came and took over. … Lifeguards said if I wasn’t there, the guy would have died.” Although the two men didn’t speak, the victim was conscious when Klitsner left the scene. — Ashley Mackin

Pedestrian dies on freeway on-ramp A pedestrian died Monday morning after being hit by a vehicle on a La Jolla freeway on-ramp, a California Highway Patrol officer

said. The victim was hit by a Mercedes-Benz on the La Jolla Village Drive on-ramp to south Interstate 5 about 8 a.m., said CHP Officer Jake Sanchez. The 35-year-old driver stopped after the crash. There is a crosswalk in the area, but it’s unclear if the man was in it or who had the right of way. The on-ramp was closed while officers investigated the crash and cleared the roadway. — The San Diego Union-Tribune

Police promote safe trick-or-treating The San Diego Police Department offers these safety reminders for families trick-or-treating on Halloween night: • Younger children should be accompanied by an adult. • Older children should trick-or-treat with friends. They should carry cell phones and flashlights, have a curfew, only visit homes with porch lights on, remain within view from the street, tell you where they are going, and only go to familiar, nearby neighborhoods. • Tell your children not to eat any treats they collect, but to bring them home for you to examine before they eat them. Look for punctures or other tampering, etc. Throw away any treats that are homemade, unwrapped, or not properly sealed.

Nativa Interiors offers solid, unique furnishings in La Jolla

BY DAVID L. CODDON Silvina Petrate came to the United States from Argentina 16 years ago to join her husband, who was pursuing his MBA at the University of San Diego. A year later, they opened a furniture and design store in Hillcrest, just a little 2,800-square-foot shop. Today, what is now Nativa Interiors, boasts two spacious showrooms, one in La Jolla and another in Solana Beach’s Cedros Design District, and an 80,000-square-foot factory in Mexico. “The furniture we sell is unique,” said Petrate. “We design it, we manufacture it, it’s all hand-made. It’s very unusual to walk into a furniture store in a city like San Diego and find that every piece you see is unique to the store.” Nativa manufactures and sells pieces for every room in the home, as well as draperies, carpeting, and even painting and sculptures. Materials come from all over the world, from Italy to Turkey to Petrate’s native South America. “We offer furniture made of solid wood,” Petrate said. “That is our specialty. We sell solid black walnut, solid cherry, exotic woods from all different parts of the world.” Besides variety and quality, the emphasis is on environmental responsibility. “Any wood

We never have. Back in 2001, nobody was talking about that. But even then we didn’t think it was right to make a business out of destroying (the Amazon). We wanted to sell quality and sell real things but make sure that it was done in a responsible way.” Indeed, the Nativa Interiors website

emphasizes that the company is constantly working to “minimize our footprint.” It’s not uncommon for a single customer to come to one of Nativa’s showrooms and purchase furnishings for an entire home. Petrate recalls clients who have spent more than $3 million with Nativa. “Most of the time our customers are professionals between ages 35 and 70. They are well educated, looking for quality, people who

drive nice cars and they want to have nice furniture to sit on. They are exposed to nice things and that’s what they’re looking for in their furnishings,” she said. Because materials used in Nativa collections come from all over the world, Petrate and her husband are often on global buying trips, but they have contacts abroad who send them pictures of potential materials as well. In addition to the manufacturing end of the firm, “We have a team of five, full-time interior designers working in the company,” Petrate said, “and all of them have 16 to 20 years of experience.” If you haven’t visited a Nativa showroom, you may have seen its furnishings at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, one of its commercial clients. Petrate’s company is currently at work on the storied Marine Room restaurant as well. Petrate particularly likes hearing from her homeowner customers, though, including one who she said wrote, “Your furniture will be part of my family for generations.” ■ Nativa Interiors at 7770 Girard Ave., is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Dr. Allen Johnson has resided in his Muirlands home for 44 years. The property, located on the rim of Bluebird Canyon, overlooks the open space, the ocean and now the construction of what he describes as a “monolith” right across his deck on the other side of the canyon. In 2015, a property by master architect Thomas Shepherd at 1320 Muirlands Drive was put on the market and sold as a 2,932-square-foot, four-bedroom and four-bathroom “unique piece of La Jolla’s history.” The property was bought by Bill and Dawn Davidson and is currently under construction with a remodeling permit. Muirlands neighbors have forwarded to La Jolla Light complaints about the conversion of this property into a “McMansion.” Johnson, who lives at 6306 Muirlands Drive, wrote in an e-mail, “We noted the home being disassembled, with no demolition permit. Without posting a formal building permit or notice to the neighborhood for comment, construction began. The Muirlands neighbors were never informed or consulted.” The Johnsons claim that the bulk and scale of the project, however presumably legal, doesn’t fit the residential look of the area.

“This structure is simply overwhelming and out of context. No two-person family needs a 20,000-square-foot home (by his calculations). I understand that things are going to change, but people shouldn’t take a neighborhood that’s perfectly comfortable and change its character,” he said. Other neighbors contacted by La Jolla Light, who wish to remain anonymous, agreed with his concerns. “There are no other houses with 4-foot setbacks that are taking up so much of the lot. This new house, juts far out into the canyon, which ruined the pristine canyon for all the other people, and the house is just plain too big for the size of the lot,” said one of them. Owner Dawn Davidson said that neighbors are judging her property too soon in the framing stages. “I’d say, be patient, my husband and I are reputable people, we build houses that are recognized to be beautiful. I’d say that they can trust us,” she said, adding that their vision is to build a house in the Spanish style, which was inspired by the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. “We don’t want to make anyone mad, but we have our right to build our house.”

Go, Wheeler, Go!

La Jollan embarks on lifetime adventure after college BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN When La Jolla native Tom Wheeler started college at UC Santa Clara four years ago, he didn’t know what the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) was. Today, he has walked over 2,000 miles of the 2,650-mile hiking trail that runs almost parallel to the West Coast from the Mexico to the Canadian border, and is on his way to complete the odyssey. “I had never heard of the Trail. I didn’t grow up doing much backpacking or camping. My friend and I were talking about plans after college, when she said, ‘I really want to do the PCT.’ So during my freshman year, I joined an outdoors club at UC Santa Clara called Into the Wild, and fell in love with the wild,” Wheeler said. The son of Bird Rock residents Doug and Jane Wheeler, he started his path in June (after graduation) and expects to finish by next month. To better his chances with the weather, Wheeler began 90 miles south of Sacramento for the northbound trek. “I started in the middle (of the Trail) so I could be ahead of the snow in the Sierra Nevada and ahead of the heat in the desert. Then I walked up to Canada and reached The Cascades, and by then it was August. I took 10 days off in Chicago, and flew back.” When he spoke to the La Jolla Light, he had started the Trail south from Lake Tahoe. “I really wanted to do the PCT because of its incredible beauty and having time to think about what I want to do for my career,” he said. He majored in environmental science and entrepreneurship, and so far has figured out a “general direction with a few specific ideas.”

Wheeler embarked on the Trail with a partner, but she quit two weeks into their adventure after suffering an injury. “The Trail is a communion with Nature and yourself, but it’s also very tough, and if you’re not willing to push through the really tough times, it’s very unlikely that you will complete it,” Wheeler explained, adding that oftentimes hikers run out of food or water, injure themselves or go through all kinds of hardship to finish the Trail. He said he appreciated the companionship when he had it, having someone to fall back on, but also learned a lot from being on his own. “After a month, I was able to settle in and be more comfortable alone,” he said. From then on, he continued solo, finding the occasional partner or group of friends to camp or hike with. “Nature is why you start the PCT, and the community of people is why you stay,” he said. He pointed out that physically, his feet have grown one-and-a-half sizes larger and he’s lost a few pounds and grown in strength. But his Trail trek also produced emotional, intellectual and spiritual changes. “It’s been a lesson ... if you’re tired, just take a day off because that’s how people quit or get injured. I didn’t encounter anything like that because I’m just going at my own pace, not trying to keep up with someone else; there’s an emotional balance.” In the logistics chapter, Wheeler said he didn’t leave anything to chance. He bought all lightweight backpacking gear, as opposed to those who hike in a more minimalistic manner. “A lot of people won’t bring a stove, so they just eat cold dehydrated food for the

I really like the morale booster of a hot meal.” For supplies, he took a “hybrid” approach. “There are three ways of resupplying: one is just totally winging it, buying food at the towns on the way; then there’s the hardcore backpacker who sends himself something at every stop and only eats that; and then there’s the hybrid, where you send yourself some stuff and supplement it with

additional food from that town. “In the beginning I was eating a lot of granola bars, beef turkey ... but my taste shifted away from that and with the hybrid resupply I have my basics but I can add other things.” ■ Want to know more?

FROM CRUMBLING STREET, A5 Santacroce added that “the City’s resurfacing program is limited to improved streets and partially improved streets … the responsibility to improve the road belongs to the adjacent property owners. Once a public street or alley is improved to current standards, the City will maintain it to the same standard as other streets within the improved street network, given available funding. The City does provide minor pavement repair for unimproved roads and alleys, such as pothole repair and hazardous patching to make them passable for vehicular traffic.” If the residents along Calle Majorca were interested in fixing their street themselves, they would be responsible for bringing the street to City Code, which could include the installation of street lights and sidewalks. “You have to be in conformance with zoning laws of the surrounding streets, you can’t just do whatever you want,” Santacroce pointed out. “There are public safety issues and drainage issues to consider. Even if it’s a private street, you have to get the City permits and the street work would still have to be inspected.” Faced with a new understanding of their street problems, the Gibbons said they would look into their options to improve the street themselves, with the hope the City would only require they repave the street

OUR READERS WRITE City Council President Sherri Lightner issues urgent voting caution There is nothing more important to the voters of San Diego than ensuring that their votes are cast and counted as they intended. City of San Diego residents recently discovered a significant ballot issue that could jeopardize voters’ intentions. The way the ballot is constructed, when a voter uses a felt-tip pen or marker to fill in a YES vote on Measure E, the ink bleeds through to a perfectly aligned NO bubble for Measure K on the reverse side. Voters are unknowingly compromising their ballots. Measures E and K are both critical measures for the City of San Diego. Each will ensure democracy is functioning at its highest and best levels. Measure E will give the City additional tools to remove elected officials from office who are convicted of felonies or are mentally or physically incapacitated. Meanwhile, Measure K will conform the City’s election practices with those of the state and federal government, so that the top two candidates for Mayor, City Attorney and City Council will advance from the June primary to the November general election. I encourage all voters to support both Measure E and Measure K.

Even more importantly, please be sure to use only a ballpoint pen when filling out your ballot, and please cast a vote on all the City ballot measures. Your vote matters, and we want to make sure it is counted. If you vote by mail and your ballot has been accidentally spoiled, you can request a new one by contacting the Registrar of Voters at (858) 565-5800. If you would like more information on any of the City ballot measures, please visit bit.ly/measures2016 or contact my office at sherrilightner@sandiego.gov Sherri Lightner San Diego City Council President, District 1

City should make better use of local boards for solving local problems Well, I “dialed up” Ms. Barbara Bry’s online survey, as written about in the Oct. 20 La Jolla Light, and was disappointed at its superficiality. I hope this is not an indication of how “deeply” she will delve into City issues of importance to us taxpayers! Just like a politician, she thinks more committees are the answer rather than using those that already exist — like the La Jolla Town Council or the La Jolla Community Planning Association or other like organizations in her district.

Haitian school built with local donations withstands Hurricane Matthew

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Six years ago, as an earthquake devastated Haiti, Edeline Felizor laid on the third floor of a school for teachers with her arm pinned under the rubble, a broken neck and five fractured vertebrae. “I saw something hit my head and I lost consciousness. After so many hours, when I woke up, I was under the debris. I didn’t know what to do. I was crying and then I started to sing songs of the Bible,” she told La Jolla Light. Felizor was rescued and following surgery, she secured a humanitarian visa and moved to La Jolla, where she lived for her first six months in San Diego with physical therapist Stephany Hoffman. “Within a few days, we got her walking on a walker. We did therapy every day, and by the end of three weeks we had her walking!” Hoffman said. Now Felizor lives in Escondido with her host family, the Shewmans. Byron Shewman’s skills as an interpreter took him to Haiti after the earthquake to help a medical team. There, he met Felizor and was instrumental in getting her and her sister — who came along as her caregiver — their visas. During her stay in La Jolla, Hoffman and Felizor wondered how else they could help Haitians. As Hoffman explained, “She really felt strongly about how important education is, and she thought that if there was any help for Haiti, it had to come through the education of the next generation. That has always been her dream.” Hoffman, Felizor and Shewman together founded Project Edeline, under the umbrella of the Youth Without Border’s, an organization administered by Shewman. With the help of many generous La Jollans, they said they gathered the funds to open a school in Croix Des Bouquets, Haiti. Institute Edeline School (IES) opened its doors in 2012 with only one kindergarten class. Now, it is a K-Grade 4 service for children. “We started with 30 children and now we are at 135,” Hoffman said. “We began with kindergarten, and when they graduated, we let them go to first grade, and took on more kindergarteners. We are building upward.” The services provided include a twice-daily meal for students and clean water. “In Haiti, once you’re serving food, people concentrate. We had to build a wall so we

In a traditional-style classroom, the students learn math and English, but also basic life skills. “They are learning self-care and good health lessons and we are teaching them some basic home gardening,” Hoffman said. She reported that earlier this month, after the pass of Hurricane Matthew through Haiti that killed more than 900 people, the IES is still standing, and most of the students are accounted for. “The building did great, that’s

what we are so proud of, but the garden was wiped out, and there was some water damage. We’ve accounted for about 100 of the children, but we haven’t heard from about 30 ... they may have been evacuated to the top of the hill.” Hoffman described how Principal Jean Monde Saintil crossed the river after the bridge collapsed, carrying his bike over his head, to go find his students. Edeline Project accepts donations — $50 pays for vitamins and medicine; $100 for school supplies; $300 sponsors a student for one year and allows them to attend IES and receive two meals a day; $1,000 sponsors a

teacher for a year; and $5,000 helps expand the school building so new students may attend. Now, Edeline Project is sending water purification tablets and cholera medicine to Haiti. “Anytime after something devastating happens in Haiti, the water quality is always an issue, so with all the floodwater sitting there, bacteria grows, and if people don’t have access to clean water and they drink that water, they may get and die of cholera,” Hoffman said, adding that a few students have already been diagnosed with the disease. ■ To learn more (or make a donation): Visit projectedeline.com

FROM SEWAGE, A1 Once the project was done, criticism included the lack of an awning on the east side of the tower to block the sun, reflective windows inside the tower that caused visual distortion and uneven stairs that resulted in trip hazards for the lifeguards. In the same document to the City, lifeguards complained about staph infections contracted by five lifeguards associated with The Cove station, which La Jolla Light reported in the “The Cove: Health Risk?” story published Oct. 20. (Read it online at lajollalight.com)

Sewage problems at Children’s Pool Tower, too

The yet-to-be fully operational lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool (aka Casa Beach) faced further negative appraisal from the union: “There are sewer gasses in the tower caused by the failing pump station and an open grate full of sewage. The water inside the grate tested positive for fecal bacteria, Coliform and others.” The tower, which was partially opened to the public in June, included a 12-restroom comfort station and was never fully taken over by lifeguards. Three weeks after the opening, the restrooms had to be closed due to sewage backups. The City maintains that the pump station at Children’s Pool is operational “and supports the La Jolla Children’s Pool Lifeguard Station and the adjacent public restrooms.” However, it admits to a clogging at the facility due to hygiene products being flushed down the toilets at the comfort station. “Once cleaned, and with the obstructions removed, the original pumps operated as designed. However, because of the increased frequency of the backups caused by items that are not supposed to be flushed down the toilets, the restrooms were closed for public use in July 2016,” Keach stated. “To help ensure the longer term functionality of the facilities, vortex-style pumps are currently being installed, which provide greater benefits than the initial pumps installed. “In addition, a new remote notification alarm system is also being installed to notify City personnel of high wastewater levels and of any pump failures. The notification system will help to prevent backups,” she added. Teamster Local 911 also highlights the presence of “layers of bird feces around the tower, on rails and landings” at the Children’s Pool Station. Its report reads, “There are rat feces all around the tower due to poor construction.” Other improvements underway at the tower, according to the City, include new flooring to seal the facility, a solid lid to replace the original open grate, and pest control. “The City hired a pest control company to remedy the issue and trash containers were removed. No infestations have been reported within the facility (since). The City is considering trash container replacement options and evaluating alternate locations in the vicinity,” Keach reported. Recent press investigations revealed the eventual cost of the Children’s Pool facility was $4.6 million. The City expects the Children’s Pool comfort station to reopen soon. “The pumps are already installed, and we believe the comfort stations will be open by the end of November,” Keach said.

Remodeling permits

A provision in the San Diego Land Use Code allows developers to bypass the costly and time-consuming community review process if they keep 51 percent of the existing structure. The “remodeling” permit still has to comply with the same legal limits. By way of explanation, City public information officer Paul Brencick wrote in an e-mail, “All construction is considered new and must comply with the current codes. But for a coastal development permit, there is a difference between remodel and new construction, and (for a remodeling permit) you must keep the foundation and one wall for remodels.” The permit obtained for construction at 1320 Muirlands Drive, which can be viewed on the City’s opendsd.sandiego.gov/web/approvals website reads, “Combination building permit for addition and remodel of existing single dwelling unit. Work to include complete remodel of existing main level areas with addition of garage

The 1320 Muirlands Drive property was bought by the Davidson family and is being developed under a remodeling permit. with guest quarters above, new upper level with master bed/bath, exercise and study rooms, and remodel of lower level crawl space for new rec room, bowling alley and bathroom, new elevator and stairwell.” Remodeling permits, Brencick said, don’t require public notice. In May 2015, an ad-hoc “mansionization” committee was formed from a La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting to deter the building of houses too big for their lots or neighborhoods. Chair Sharon Wampler identified the use of the remodeling permit as a problem. “Some developers are making a business out of this and really damaging the unique character of the neighborhoods,” Wampler said during their formation meeting.

Historic designation

The 1320 Muirlands Drive home, built by master architect Shepherd in 1937, went through the historical review process, which culminated in the decision of the Historical Resources Board (HRB) to turn down the designation during its October 2014 meeting.

Life Tributes

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Walter Kenneth Moulton August 31, 1932 - September 14, 2016

LA JoLLA — Walter Kenneth Moulton was born in New Straitsville, ohio, on August 31, 1932, the only son of Walter Kenny Moulton and Myrtle Alexander Moulton. He graduated from New Straitsville High School in 1950. The Korean War was just getting started and he knew he would be drafted into the Army, but he preferred the Navy, so in 1952 he enlisted. He was sent to San Diego for his basic training and fell in love with this area. Walt served four years in the Navy with two tours on heavy cruisers, the USS Helena and the USS Rochester, going to the

Pacific. He really loved his time in the Navy and got to visit places of which he had never dreamed. After the Navy, he settled in San Diego and became a real estate appraiser with Security Pacific Bank.

Later he went to Southern California First National Bank as a loan officer dealing in commercial real estate loans. In 1980, he became a commercial real estate broker and continued in that field until he retired. Walt loved to play golf and prided himself on playing every golf course in San Diego and every place we visited. He also loved to boast that he had made four holes in one! Skiing was also a favorite sport and Mammoth Mountain was his favorite resort. Walt passed away quietly on September 14, 2016. He is survived by his wife

of 54 years, Carolyn Turner Moulton; daughter, Beth (Albert) Limberg; and grandsons, Matthew and Jack. The Inurnment will take place at Miramar National Cemetery in a private family service. His Memorial Service will be November 5, 2016, at 2 pm at La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Ave., La Jolla, CA 92037. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or La Jolla Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Staff and the independent review agreed that the structure should not be designated “historical.” The report, prepared by Marie Burke Lia, reads “The building was designed by Master Architect Thomas L. Shepherd, but because of its alterations it is not significant.” During the meeting, HRB member Priscilla Berge made a motion to designate the property under Criterion D, which recognizes the work of reputable architects, but the motion failed for lack of support. Linda Marrone, who was filling in for Chair John Lemmo, tried to make a motion for the applicant to return with more information about the master architect, but was informed that because a motion based on the same grounds had failed, the second motion could not be made. Lemmo, who arrived at the meeting for the closing argument, said on the record, “Going forward, for those consultants who have a master architect involved, it would be much appreciated to have some discussion and some elaboration on why it would be inappropriate to designate under Criterion D for proper consideration, because we had a motion and it did not pass.” The lone speaker in favor of historical designation, director of Save Our Heritage Organisation Bruce Coons, recalled the discussion when La Jolla Light contacted him. “It was a great house and it should have been designated. There really wasn’t anything wrong with it. The consultant made some excuses about the changes in the structure, but the standards for the designation were improperly applied, it had a high degree of integrity, and it was an important piece of Shepherd’s work.” Shepherd, an architect included in the Biographies of Established Masters guideline used by the HRB, designed the La Jolla Beach &Tennis Club, the Marine Room, the Spanish-style Arcade Building in the Village and an addition to the La Valencia Hotel. The City’s document states, “Shepherd’s architectural influence on La Jolla is substantial, as he designed buildings and homes primarily in the community throughout his lengthy and prolific 50-year career.” Speaking for the applicant was the then-architect of the project, Tony Crisafi, also a board member of the La Jolla Historical Society. “We originally thought that this house had merits as a resource and it would be designated. It was sometime in the summer when we realized that we were coming down the wrong path with this, and we agreed with staff that the house has been significantly altered,” Crisafi said during the October 2014 HRB meeting. Johnson’s daughter, Nicole, who grew up in the house overlooking the canyon, said, “The Real Estate agent listed this house as a historical gem, and when it was bought and it was going through its initial phase, we were assured by people that it was going to be a responsible remodel and that’s not what happened here.” Her father agreed, “It breaks our hearts.” Davidson explained that they are keeping the whole original structure through their remodeling project. “We live in a historical house right now, it’s not like we would ever turn a blind eye on anything that’s historic, we would do everything we can to protect it. If you have a big family, you want your home to be a place where you can gather,” she said.

Theme 2016: ‘To defy expectations’

Asian Film Fest brings 140 offbeat movies to town BY WILL BOWEN Question: What is 140 films from 15 countries at six different theaters, shown over 10 days (Nov. 3-12), with opening and closing nights in Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St.? Answer: It’s the 17th annual San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) and it looks exciting! The festival will feature films from the USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Iran, Thailand and South Korea with 12 movie premieres and several directors and actors attending screenings. If you haven’t watched modern-day Asian films before, you are in for a rewarding surprise. They are generally quite different from the high-budget, extreme-action, special effects-dominated movies coming from Hollywood. They put more emphasis on people, relationships, emotions, the unusual, the diverse ... and there is a lot more film-making experimentation going on. This year’s festival kicked off Oct. 3 at the “Brick” on Old Decatur Road in Liberty Station with a “Chew The Scene” food-tasting event. Lee Ann Kim, festival founder and executive director for the past 16 seasons before retiring, came to the mic and joked, “I am surprised to see that there are so many people here tonight!” Although everyone misses her enthusiastic leadership, the festival continues to grow under the new leadership of Kent Lee, who was appointed after a nationwide search.

He leaves a position as a marketing director for the Boy Scouts of America to assume the helm of SDAFF. Lee said his goals for the festival are to promote Asian films, involve more people in film-making, and bring the community together through movie-going to counter the cultural trend toward isolation in virtual reality. Brian Hu continues his role as festival artistic director. He’s the guy who watches

all the films submitted for consideration and selects the ones that will be shown. He is very passionate about his job. Hu said the 2016 festival theme is more somber than in the past, with a nod to the issues of global immigration and the upcoming presidential election. “This year’s theme, ‘To defy expectations,’ is about the global quest of people to be their own person, despite expectations. People are saying, ‘I don’t want any limitations placed on me,’ and, ‘If you won’t give us opportunities, we will go get them

ourselves,’ ” he said. “You can see this theme represented in this year’s logo, which shows a young Iranian woman with a multicolored hijab, or head scarf. She is wearing sunglasses and lipstick. She is saying, ‘I respect my traditional culture, but I am looking to the future. I want equal opportunity.’ ” The image comes from the film “Sonita,” which is about a female Afghan teen living in Iran who wants to be a rapper and speaks out against the oppression of SEE FILM FESTIVAL, B13

The best news I’ve ever heard

La Jolla Cultural Partners

he news only gets better and better. In addition to chocolate’s many positive health benefits — foremost among them making life worth living — it has now been proven that it dramatically improves brain function. I should mention that I have been collecting articles on the benefits of chocolate for many years. This is part of a tradition Olof and I have of giving each other framed articles at Christmas time extolling the virtues of whatever it was we were doing anyway — or confirming the deleterious effects of foods we don’t like. Olof, for example, hates tofu so I always framed articles for him suggesting that tofu causes dementia in middle aged men. Neither of us is too fond of liver so anti-liver studies get prime space under our tree, too. With chocolate research, however, science is making up for lost time. My whole chocolate-laden life, it’s been considered a dietary no-no, a demon whose lure I was constantly fighting. Not of course, that I ever won. Or even that I tried that hard. But now, like its fellow pariahs (coconut oil and eggs), chocolate is a health food. I was born before my time. Over the last decade, as scientists have accepted increasing bribes from chocolate makers, I mean, as scientists have delved

into heretofore unknown health aspects of chocolate, the list of benefits of chocolate has expanded yearly. Now dark chocolate is touted as a powerful (yes, they really did say powerful!) source of antioxidants — even more than blueberries or acai berries. (Consume a diet of chocolate covered blueberries and you could probably live forever.) Dark chocolate is alleged to improve blood flow in the arteries and cause a small but “statistically significantly” (and we would never want to argue with statistics) decrease in blood pressure. It lowers the susceptibility of LDL to oxidative damage while increasing HDL and improving insulin sensitivity. Best of all, observational studies show a drastic (yes, drastic!) reduction in heart disease risk for the people who consume the most chocolate. Is this a deal or what? There are even studies showing that flavanols (whatever the heck they are) from cocoa can improve blood flow to the skin and protect it against sun-induced damage. (Could I just slather a chocolate bar on my face and let it drip onto my tongue in the sun?) Your doctor should be making you eat chocolate instead of all those wimpy vitamins that have now been proven to be useless. It goes without saying that Medicare should be covering it.

While chocolate benefit studies have been going increasingly in my favor, I haven’t always been able to experience its benefits myself. A women’s magazine touted new scientific evidence suggesting that people who eat chocolate have less belly fat. Researchers hypothesized that antioxidant-rich dark chocolate may curb cortisol, a hormone that triggers ab flab. Snack on “two squares a day,” they recommended. I’m guessing my squares were bigger than theirs. But the new study that came out earlier this year about the cognitive benefits of eating chocolate make all those studies that came before it look like chocolate cream pie in the sky. The Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Study compared, over a five-year period, people who ate chocolate at least once a week (“habitual chocolate consumption”) with people who didn’t. The habituals “performed better cognitively” than the non-habituals. Specifically, the chocolate chowers showed significantly superior “visual-spatial memory and (organization), working memory, scanning and tracking, (and) abstract reasoning.” As happy as I am with the results of this study, I couldn’t help but make a few observations. With all due respect, once a week is not habitual chocolate consumption. Once a day is not even habitual chocolate consumption. You want to see habitual chocolate consumption, stop in at Auntie Inga’s House of Avoirdupois pretty much anytime. The authors of the current study attempt to determine why, exactly, eating chocolate is associated with improved brain function. Um, do we care? Well, apparently THEY do. And despite

Here’s a photo of my framed copy of the article extolling the cognitive benefits of chocolate. having proven beyond any reasonable doubt, they’re still advocating only small amounts of chocolate in the diet. Um, why? God forbid anything that actually tastes really good could be eaten at will. Does anyone ever tell you to eat broccoli in moderation? I think not. I’m thinking that right before the SATs, you should eat an entire five pound box of Godivas. The author of the study noted: “We only looked at people who were eating chocolate never or rarely versus once or more than once a week.” He added, “I’d really like to see what happens when people eat a ton of chocolate.” Look no further.

To launch the construction project, the facility will close in January, 2017 and reopen in 2020. “We’re proud to celebrate 75 years in the San Diego region, and today we stand poised to make our mark on the next 75 years with a very important project,” Hugh Davies said at a conference held in Sherwood Auditorium. “MCASD is an art museum with a world-class collection of more than 4,700 works. But due to space constraints, all but a small fraction of that collection currently languishes in storage. We believe the community deserves to see and experience our collection, (and) an expansion of our La Jolla facility will allow us to consistently display our collection, as well as present

compelling contemporary exhibits and expand our education programs.” Through private contributions and gifts, $56.7 million of the needed $75 million has already been raised. Early donors include: Melissa and Michael Bartell, Mary and James Bergland, Barbara Bloom, Matt and Nancy Browar, Karen and Donald Cohn, The David C. Copley Foundation, Carolyn Farris, Pauline Foster and the Foster family, Margaret Jackson, Joan and Irwin Jacobs, Paul and Genevieve Jacobs, Maryanne and Irwin Pfister, Colette Carson and Dr. Ivor Royston, and Iris and Matthew Strauss. Now, the public capital campaign to raise the remaining $18 million is officially underway. Calling it “an exciting time for us here in La Jolla,” incoming MCASD board president Paul Jacobs spoke about the impact the expansion would have on La Jolla as a “cultural hub.”

Plans for the expansion of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla are posted in the lobby at 700 Prospect St., and visible during business hours.

“La Jolla, in particular, has long been a cultural center and today it’s really experiencing impressive growth. We have the vitality of the La Jolla Playhouse on the campus of UC San Diego and all the shows it has sent to Broadway; we have the expansion of the La Jolla Music Society to a state-of-the-art facility, The Conrad, here in the Village; so when MCASD reopens its doors, La Jolla is going to emerge as a vital cultural hub and something I’m proud to be a part of,” he said. Jacobs assumed his new role at the Tuesday morning conference. A MCASD supporter since 2000, most recently, he served as the co-chair of the architectural selection committee that chose Selldorf Architects to design the expanded facility. Calling principal architect Annabelle Selldorf “brilliant” and the design “wonderful,” Jacobs said previous Selldorf endeavors include public and private

projects such as museums, libraries, art galleries and a recycling facility. As part of doubling the overall size, the three-year construction involves the creation of two levels to house reconfigured galleries that can accommodate large and small works, with Terrazzov floors to maintain continuity with the existing building. A lattice ceiling structure and vertical windows will incorporate skylights to provide diffused lighting. A large, multipurpose gallery will also be built on the lower level. The existing parking lot on the north end of campus will be transformed into a public park and new seaside terraces. Local architectural firm Alcorn & Benton will work with the museum and Selldorf on the regulatory and approval processes.

Copley director and CEO to my dear friend and colleague, Kathryn Kanjo. I can’t tell you how reassuring and gratifying it is to hand over to someone who is (up to) the task, and who knows the history of the institution I will look forward to rooting for and supporting for years to come.” For Kanjo, working at MCASD is a homecoming of sorts, given that her first curatorial appointment was at MCASD in 1992, where she served as assistant and then associate curator. She later served as executive director of Artpace San Antonio and director of the University of Art Museum at University of California, Santa Barbara. She returned to MCASD in 2010 to serve as chief curator before her most recent promotion. Kanjo said she was “honored to take on the role” officially, especially at this “crucial moment in the institution’s history.” She said when the Museum reopens in 2020, “Galleries will chart a chronology of the post-war period to the present day, punctuated with thematic interludes, smart abstractions, distilled minimalism and bold pop expressions that will be exhibited alongside deeply California manifestations of funk and lightened space. … Long term displays of the permanent collection will offer interpretive materials for all audiences, inspiring visitors to come back again and again.” Until MCASD La Jolla closes in January, renderings and a scale model of what the facility will look like is on view in the main lobby. Curious patrons may visit during business hours (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Tuesday) to see what they can expect. During the closure, exhibitions and programming will be centralized at MCASD’s downtown location at 1100 Kettner Blvd.

Changes through the years

The building that houses (until January) the MCASD is the one-time home of La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, and was designed by famed architect Irving Gill. MCASD’s founding trustees purchased the property in 1941 and called the non-profit institution The Art Center in La Jolla. Architects Robert Mosher and Roy Drew (of the firm Mosher Drew), modified the facility in 1950 to include formal galleries. In 1960, Sherwood Auditorium opened.

Four years later (1964), the name was changed to La Jolla Museum of Art, and in 1971 was changed again to the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. In 1980, Mosher Drew renovated the facility a second time. The facility started going by its current

Simon writes what he knows and he knows comedy writers

he North Coast Repertory Theater in Solana Beach has graced its stage with many hilarious comedies. Neil Simon’s “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” directed by Tom Markus, may just be the best ever. The story takes place in the writers’ room of television’s “Your Show Of Shows” (with homage to Sid Caesar), where the scripts and sketches are hatched and hashed about. Boss Max Prince (David Ellenstein) employs a range of writers, each with his or her own quirks. Hypochondriac Ira (Omri Schein), dry-witted Kenny (Phil Johnson), the pedantic Russian emigrant Val (Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper), Max’s secretary Helen (Caroline Drage), the flamboyant Milt (Louis Lotorto), newbie Lucas (Brett Alters), the lone female writer, Carol (Amanda Sitton), and Irish-American Brian (Christopher M. Williams) make up the crazy team that must deliver their ideas on time, regardless of the zany things that go on in this room. They saunter into the “office” at various times in the morning making small talk, maybe even talking about the ones who aren’t there yet — like the boss, Max. When Max does arrive, he wants to hear what ideas his crew has for the next show. Good luck is not around as they throw out ideas in last-minute haste, most lacking depth. But

that really doesn’t matter because Max isn’t quite together when he arrives, either. Some days are outright shocking! The cast is amazing, but Ellenstein shines as the often pant-less Max, who sometimes forgets the names of those who work for him, until he gets notice from NBC executives that the show’s length and expenses are about to shrink. Now he’s like a gorilla in a too-small cage. The artistic director has played roles from one scope to another at NCRT, but Max Prince is his bravest and most sidesplitting performance. The evening is full of laughs, but also some profanity, and it’s geared to a more mature audience. Fun Fact: Why did Simon use ‘23rd Floor’ in the title? Simon once said it’s because Sid Caesar’s writers on the original “Your Show Of Shows” (including Neil Simon and his older brother, Danny Simon) held their script sessions at various times on the 11th and 12th floors of an NBC-TV office building. He added those numbers together to put his fictional cast on the 23rd floor. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘Laughter on the 23rd Floor’ plays through Nov. 20 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $43. (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org

Torrey Trot returns Nov. 6

Mile, 5K race to benefit school programs BY ASHLEY MACKIN Need a warm up to the family’s annual Turkey Trot at Thanksgiving? The second Torrey Trot will be 10 a.m. (registration at 9 a.m.) Sunday, Nov. 6 at Road Runner Sports, 5553 Copley Drive in the Clairemont area. Designed to be a family-friendly 1-Mile or 5K run, the event benefits unfunded programs at Torrey Pines Elementary School. Immediately following will be a “finisher’s party” with family events. “It’s an easy course and a fun atmosphere; something the whole family can do,” said event co-chair Krystyna Atkins. “It’s great for (5K) first-timers and a lot of children complete it — we’ve had kindergarteners finish it. Every year, our kids do a walk-a-thon, so the 1-Mile and 5K run are manageable for kids and those of all ages. And people like doing this, knowing they are doing something to impact the lives of children in the community.” All proceeds go to the school’s foundation to support programming in science, music, PE and art (which incorporates dance, music and theater this year).

“Without those funds, we wouldn’t be able to put that on,” Atkins said. Co-chair and fellow parent Lindsay Domaguin added that the runner’s high “gets addicting” and encourages children to stay active. “We thought this would be a healthier alternative to raising funds by selling cookies or something,” she said. “It’s a good initiative to get people out and exercising, as well as create bonds with other people in the community, which is always great thing.” Following the race, a finisher’s party will include vendor booths from area organizations, a jump house, craft table, face painting, backyard games, music, snacks, prizes and a rock wall, courtesy of La Jolla YMCA. Registration for the 1-Mile race is $25 and comes with a finisher’s medal. The timed 5K is $40 and comes with a medal and T-shirt. 10 percent of anything purchased at Road Runner Sports that day goes to the school, which hopes to raise $8,000 this year.

FROM JEWEL BALL, B10 Third generation Las Patronas member Jorie Fischer brought the luncheon to a close by announcing the theme (following a signature Las Patronas skit). “Growing up in a city with such a rich history of aviation, being a travel enthusiast, and falling in love with and marrying a handsome pilot, it seemed only fitting to choose a theme that embraces and celebrates air travel. “This year, the Jewel Ball will upgrade your travel experience from terminal to takeoff. Much as Las Patronas infuses modern values and efficiencies with its rich traditions and history, ‘Taking Flight’ imagines a new breed of travel. It combines modern airport architecture and luxury lounges with the vintage glamour and romance of the Golden Age of Aviation — when travelers dressed for the occasion and flying was dubbed ‘a cocktail party on wings.’ ” Fischer added, “It was once said that aviation is proof that given the will, we have the capacity to do the impossible. In 1946, our founding members, including my grandmother Midge Preston, had the will to start something beautiful. The continued passionate resolve of our supporters and members has elevated our organization to where it is today, raising over $20 million for thousands of San Diego-based beneficiaries. We continue to not fly, but soar. Welcome aboard!” ■ On the Web: laspatronas.org

Tatiana Sizonenko with her work

UAG hosts the opening Oct. 7 of ‘Extensions of Photography: A Visual Arts Faculty, Emeritus Faculty and Alumni Exhibition’ on display through Dec. 9 on the UCSD campus.

PHOTOS BY WILL BOWEN

Artist Peter Phillips

University Art Gallery re-opens with photography show BY WILL BOWEN After facing the threat of closure most of last year, and a brief period when it was officially closed, the UC San Diego Art Gallery (UAG) in Mandeville Center has re-opened its doors on campus. A warm and appreciative crowd gathered at the gallery Oct. 7, for a photography show of past and present faculty and alumni works that will remain on display through Dec. 9. The show signals that the gallery is back on track, and marks the start of a full year of programming, which will feature six exhibitions plus numerous speakers and guests. “Extensions of Photography: A Visual Arts Faculty, Emeritus Faculty and Alumni Exhibition,” was inspired by a larger

exhibition currently on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla, called “Uses of Photography.” Both shows explore the influential experiments of the UCSD-affiliated artists and alumni whose explorations with photography lead to the transformation of the medium beginning in the 1960s. “Uses of Photography” focuses on 1960 to 1985, while “Extensions of Photography” starts at 1986 and brings the exhibitions to the current period. Collectively, they’re meant to kick off the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the UCSD Visual Arts Department. The anniversary has the theme “Art into Life,” derived from founding faculty member Allen

Kaprow (famous for his “Happenings”) who said that, “The artist should blur the line between life and art.” The artists in the current exhibitions make reference to the use of themes from everyday life, while incorporating humor and questioning photography’s hidden conventions, and making explicit the politics involved in photographic representation. The idea for a UCSD-based retrospective photography exhibit came from Jill Dawsey, MCASD gallery director who curated the show at her facility. She attended the UAG opening and spoke at length about her project. Tatiana Sizonenko, who earned her Ph.D. from UCSD Visual Arts in 2013, curated the UAG show. In addition, she’s been busy

teaching at Cal State Long Beach, Cal State San Marcos, Grossmont Junior College, UCSD Extension and the Design Institute of San Diego. Sizonenko said she first received submissions from the artists by e-mail, and then had the ones she selected shipped to the gallery — some from quite far away — and began hanging and installing the works in July. Professor Jack Greenstein, a Renaissance art specialist who is the current chair of the Visual Arts Department, opened the evening with thank you’s to all who contributed to the show. He then put things into perspective, “This show opens our celebration of the 50th anniversary of the department. This show looks back. Next year

MCASD curator Jill Dawsey we will look forward.” On hand for the opening was Gerry McAllister, who was UAG director for over 20 years. McAllister earned both her BA and MFA from the UCSD Visual Arts Department and stepped into the role of gallery chief after graduation. Also present was former MFA alumni and department art instructor Peter Phillips, known for the giant M&M candies his students made and placed around Mandeville Auditorium during the undergraduate art shows. One of Phillips’ popular performance-art pieces was to drive a Chevy van converted into a military tank into the Price Center Plaza from which a horde of Hawaiian hula dancers emerged, followed by Phillips in a brass band uniform tooting on a trombone.

A work by Jean Lowe Another popular show built and directed by Phillips was “The Ark,” a huge wooden Noah’s Ark-like structure filled with art objects and surrounded by large paper-mâché animals, which was installed on Sun God lawn. The exhibit led one faculty member to point out that back in the day, when the entire department’s innovations in photography were taking place, the faculty wasn’t thinking about shifting the conventions of photography, but simply trying to make art. All the shifts in convention occurred as an afterthought or an unplanned development!

Master works on display

Some of the most striking pieces in the UAG show include a long-frame photo of

the backsides of a line of male and female Japanese full-body tattoo recipients by alumnus Kip Fulbeck, who now teaches at UC Santa Barbara. Then there are some of Eleanor Antin’s hyper-real staged photographs of people dressed in attire from the days of the Roman Empire, and a saucy black-and-white vaudeville film, depicting her fictional personality, Eleanor Antinova, the African-American ballerina. Kim MacConnel has lent giant photographs from his travels in Egypt that are quite complex, and Jean Lowe shares a huge photograph of what looks like a bookshelf full of books that might be found in the library at the House at Pooh Corner.

Coming next to UAG

The winter quarter show will be,

Former UAG director Gerry McAllister “Harold Cohen, Creating Computational Creativity,” honoring the memory of Professor Cohen, a pioneer in computing and the arts. The spring quarter exhibition is titled, “Making Communities: Art and The Border,” a multimedia exhibition of art practices related to the border. The school year finale will feature the undergraduate art show and another titled, “Now Again: A Survey of UAG Artists.” ■ IF YOU GO: University Art Gallery is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday in Mandeville Center. Admission is free. A related exhibit, “Artists and Language,” is on display at UCSD’s Geisel Library through Jan. 8. It covers the print publications of faculty and graduate students associated with the Visual Arts Department. For more information, visit uag.ucsd.edu

Grandma Eva’s Apple Strudel

Flour Power: A fall baking primer – Part 1

still remember when my young jaw dropped in awe every time I watched my grandmother prepare from scratch her prized apple strudel (recipe provided), lemon meringue pie, jelly roll, and taiglach (crunchy pastry balls coated with honey and almonds), along with delicious savories including rosemary stew dumplings and chicken pot pie. She almost exclusively used her tried-and-true all-purpose flour, and the results were flawless every time. Today there’s a luxury lineup of traditional and specialty flours to create buttery, melt-in-your mouth pastries, protein- and fiber-rich doughs and batters, and gluten-free alternatives, the latter so those with Celiac disease and gluten sensitivities don’t feel deprived.

The Classics

■ All-purpose flour is a baker’s staple. This multi-tasking wheat flour with moderate amounts of protein and fiber is suitable for a wide range of baking needs from breads and pizzas to cookies, muffins and cakes. ■ Whole-wheat flour that contains both the bran and germ of the wheat kernel nutritionally trumps all-purpose. Its higher protein and fiber content creates a denser texture with a slightly nutty flavor, limiting its uses. Baker’s Tip: Do a 50/50 blend of all-purpose with whole-wheat for a lighter flour.

■ Pastry flour is created by finely grinding a soft wheat. There are both white and whole-wheat varieties of this silky powder that make delicate pastries and tender crusts. ■ Bread flour is a protein powerhouse ideal for hearty loaves, giving a chewy, dense texture. ■ Cake flour has the lowest protein content of all flours, usually bleached and milled from a soft winter wheat. This finely textured flour is best used for baking light and airy delights like Angel Food Cake.

Gluten-free “flours”

Gluten is the protein found in certain grains and their hybrids including wheat, rye and barley. Like its namesake, gluten is the “glue-like” substance that gives breads and pastas a wonderful chewy texture. But for those suffering from Celiac Disease or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity gluten is the enemy. The following gluten-free “flours” can be substituted for traditional ones with equally delicious baking results. One word of caution: don’t buy from bulk bins, which can have cross-contamination from non-gluten items. ■ High protein Amaranth flour derived from the seed of the leafy amaranth plant gives a nutty flavor and nutritious oomph to assorted baked goods. ■ Banana flour is created by pulverizing dried unripe bananas for an earthy,

■ The dough: 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup white cane sugar; 2 eggs; 1/2 cup vegetable oil (canola, grapeseed, your choice); 1 tablespoon baking powder; zest from one lemon; a few drops vanilla or almond extract; pinch of salt.

potassium-rich baking option. Dense and concentrated, use one-quarter less than the recipe calls for. ■ Since Brown Rice flour contains the bran of the grain, it has a high fiber content, rich nutty taste and grainy texture best used for hearty breads and biscuits. For a lighter, more delicate version try white rice flour. ■ Chia flour is made from the ground seeds of this Omega-3, calcium and protein powerhouse. When used in cookies, bars, cakes and muffins, slight recipe adjustments need to be made by increasing liquids and baking times. ■ Gram flour, a staple of Indian cuisine made of crushed roasted chickpeas is a protein-packed, mustard-colored powder with a nutty flavor and rich aromatic scent when heated. Ideal as a breading for fish, chicken or vegetables, a batter for sweet or savory pancakes, a substitute for eggs in vegan dishes, or the base for the popular celebratory sweet delight called ladoo.

■ The filling: 3 pounds apples (Granny Smith, Gala, your choice), peeled, sliced; 1/3 cup brown sugar; 1/3 cup chopped toasted nuts (walnuts, pecans, your choice); 1/3 cup raisins; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 2 tablespoons apricot or berry preserves. ■ Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For the dough, in a large mixing bowl or bowl of a food processor, blend eggs, oil and sugar. Gradually add flour (mixed with baking powder and salt). Blend into a dough. Divide into two balls and refrigerate. For the filling, in a large mixing bowl combine apples, nuts, raisins, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Flour a board and roll dough balls into ovals. Transfer to parchment-lined cookie sheets. Spread layer of preserves on dough, and evenly distribute the filling. Gently roll into loaves. Make three horizontal slits on each loaf. Bake 30 minutes or until golden. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Avoid El Niño Car Breakdowns with a Spring Cleaning Car Checkup Spring is the time to thank your hardworking vehicle for a great performance over the winter by doing a maintenance overhaul. There are several things you can do yourself and with the help of a mechanic to ensure that your vehicle is prepared for top performance this spring and summer.

Use the following tips to manage your vehicle effectively and avoid accidents and expensive maintenance concerns down the road. Fluid Levels Keep an eye on your brake fluid, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, engine oil and transmission fluid. It’s a good idea to consider a brake fluid flush as well to make sure your brakes are working in top condition. Wires, Plugs and Batteries Anything older than three years old should be replaced as should any weak wires, plugs or batteries. Hoses and Belts If your belts are soft, brittle, cracked or worn, consider replacing them. Anything older than five years old should also be

replaced. Tire Pressure Make sure that all of your vehicle’s tires, including the spare, are properly balanced and inflated. Making this a habit will decrease the chances that you’ll find yourself on the side of the road with a flat tire. Brakes A brake pad change and an inspection for the brake system can work miracles for your San Diego vehicle. This is especially true if heavy rains are anticipated, because you’ll rely on the braking system performing at 100%. Engine Filter It’s a good time to replace your engine filter as you head into the spring, as it’s likely that there has been a lot of build up over the

winter months. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Any time you hit major potholes, you can do signiﬁcant damage to your struts and shocks. Make sure you ask your mechanic to conduct an inspection to avoid bigger and more expensive problems down the road. After a season of tough conditions, it’s a good idea to have your wheels aligned properly. Following these tips can minimize your maintenance costs overall as well as decrease the chances of you being involved in an accident as a result of poor vehicle maintenance.

LA JOLLA HOMES & REAL ESTATE

PAGE B22 - OCTOBER 27, 2016 - LA JOLLA LIGHT

www.lajollalight.com

Economists predict San Diego home and rent price increases to slow BY PHILLIP MOLNAR National home and rent price increases are expected to slow in the next two years, said a report of 51 economists and analysts. Average home prices will increase by 5 percent in 2017 and 4 percent in 2018 — down from the 5.8 percent increase in 2015 and 5.1 percent this year, said the Urban Land Institute’s Real Estate Consensus Forecast. Rent increases are also expected to slow down from the 4.5 percent rental increase in 2015 and 3.5 percent predicted for 2016, to 3 percent in 2017 and 2.9 percent in 2018. But, what about San Diego? Most local experts predict housing prices in America’s Finest City will not increase as much as the past few years, but it won’t be as low as the rest of the nation. In CoStar’s third-quarter housing report for San Diego, the real estate tracker forecasted San Diego rent would end up increasing 6.1 percent in 2016, 3.6 percent in 2017 and 3.4 percent in 2018. Alan Gin, economist at the University of San Diego, said CoStar’s housing numbers for San Diego County show the region will be outside what will happen in much of the nation. “That’s a reasonable projection because construction is down for residential units,” he said. “Even if it declines from 6.1 percent to about 3.5 percent, that’s still above the rate of inflation.” Greg Shannon, chair of the management committee for ULI’s San Diego and Tijuana branch, said San Diego is affected by strong

job growth. “As long as we’re creating new jobs but not creating much new housing supply, particularly apartments, we’re just going to see increases in pricing of housing,” he said. “San Diego is likely to have increases greater than the U.S. average across the board, particularly in rentals.” However, he said the pace that rent goes up in San Diego should slow — just like the national average — because many renters will have hit their limit. “When they go up this much, it’s just not sustainable,” Shannon said. “You’re already picking off people at the low end where an extra $25 a month does make a difference.” Average rent was $1,743 a month in San Diego County at the start of September, increasing 8.4 percent in a year , said MarketPointe Realty Advisors. The median home price hit $498,000 in August, its highest point in a decade, real estate tracker CoreLogic said. The nationwide ULI forecast predicted several areas would be worse than their 20-year averages — commercial property price growth, real estate investment trust returns, rental rate growth for office and retail, and single-family housing starts. Overall, economists and analysts in the forecast predicted economic expansion would be at a slower pace than the prior two years with mixed projections for different factors affecting the housing market.
