The goal of bocce ball is to bowl a set of balls as close as possible to a smaller target ball known as a pallina. The team that ends up with a ball closest to the pallina gains points, and the first team to reach 16 points wins.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Every Wednesday morning, a group of about 45 people gather to play the time-honored (and Italian favorite) sport of bocce ball.

Appropriately, they meet in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood.

One of them, La Jolla resident Vito Formica, is hoping to bring the sport a little closer to home and is behind the effort to get a bocce ball court installed at the La Jolla Rec Center.

“It’s easy to learn and a lot of fun.

Once you’ve thrown one ball down the alley, you are experienced and can play with anybody. … I’ve played with people in their 90s and those who are 6 and 8 years old,” he said. “It’s a very popular sport and growing more so.”

There are bocce ball courts in some of San Diego’s community parks, including Morley Field in Balboa Park, and restaurant hot-spots such as Stone Brewing Company in Liberty Station in Point Loma.

Formica was joined by a handful of residents at the La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. (LJP&R) board meeting Sept. 27, where they pleaded for the addition of a bocce ball court at the La Jolla Rec Center.

The LJP&R board voted to support the concept, and tasked Formica

Advocate for bocce ball at the Rec Center

with researching the specifics and returning with a plan.

A conventional bocce ball court, he explained, is 14 feet wide and between 65 and 80 feet long. It is bounded by a wooden frame in an alley shape, and filled with dirt, decomposed granite or artificial turf.

Given the limited amount of Rec Center space, the suggested placement is fronting the Rec Center, on the grass, parallel to the sidewalk on Draper Avenue.

Formica said the cost to install the court is $5,000-$10,000, but acting LJP&R chair Mary Coakley-Munk SEE REC CENTER, A3

City may reopen Coast Walk Bridge, temporary bypass planned

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON A plan is in the works to manage the vegetation along Coast Walk and Torrey Pines Road, and ultimately, restore public access to the Coast Walk Bridge.

The City previously said there were no plans to re-open the bridge after it closed in March, but has since changed its tune. A temporary bridge bypass is in the works, but a timeline has not been announced for its implementation or completion.

The management plan would include drafting an agreement with nearby residents so the City can preserve views by trimming the vegetation near the parking lot at the start of Coast Walk Trail and the ocean side of Torrey Pines Road

(south of Prospect Street), and reinforce a portion of the bridge so it could be reopened.

At issue is a short segment that feeds from the parking lot entrance of the Coast Walk Trail to the main bridge that spans the gorge along the Coast Walk Trail. The main bridge itself is sufficient, but the perpendicular lead-in is not. Signs are posted on both ends of the bridge indicating it is closed.

“It’s our intent to restore the bridge, restore access to the bridge, restore the stability of the bridge and find a way to keep that trail active,” said Bill Harris, spokesperson for the Transportation and Stormwater Department at the Sept. 25 La Jolla SEE BRIDGE, A16

FROM REC CENTER, A1 suggested certain costs could be mitigated by asking local Boy Scouts to construct the frame or getting donated decomposed granite from the City.

Logistically speaking, a set of bocce balls could be rented from the La Jolla Rec Center office, but those with a personal set of balls could bring their own.

Once constructed, Formica said, the benefits would be grand. “The bocce court would be in view of everyone who uses the Rec Center and would bring more senior citizens and children to the Rec Center,” he said. “Up to 12 people can play on one court at one time, and depending on the amount of players, a game could last 45 minutes to an hour. That’s time people would be spending here. We could host tournaments and bring many new people to the La Jolla Rec Center.”

LJP&R is in the midst of planning a massive playground renovation, but Coakley-Munk said she wants to start the bocce ball court installation as soon as possible.

“If it’s going to be a year or two before we proceed with playground construction, bocce ball (players) could have a court for use in that time, and draw more and new people in the short term. Let’s get as many things as we can done.

A $5,000 investment wouldn’t be that bad if many people use it,” she said. “It would also give us a better sense of whether we even want to permanently incorporate a court on the playground. Is it really used that much or is it not working out?”

Bocce ball court updates will be presented at a future meeting.

In other LJP&R news: ■ Playground pieces under review: At the end of the meeting, the board discussed the playground renovation. Last month, LJP&R was given renderings for three playgrounds by architect Trace Wilson. Each offered different placement of the basketball courts and suggestions for what could be added in the remaining

Vito Formica (backed by other bocce ball enthusiasts) tells the La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board, Sept. 27, that the installation of a bocce ball court at the La Jolla Rec Center would draw many new people and events to Center. space. Some options included a water feature, coffee kiosk, history wall, additional sport courts and more.

However, before the board takes any action, Coakley-Munk said it needed to investigate these ideas one by one.

“We need to look at the elements that would compose each layout and the possible unforeseen consequences of each,” she said. “For the coffee cart, is it permitted? And what happens if the company that runs it goes out of business? For the water feature, would children be allowed/encouraged to play in it? If so, would we have to provide showers? If we do that, what would it do for the homeless population here?

“It’s nice to have all these ideas, but unless we’ve investigated what they mean, it doesn’t do anybody any good. And if we want to be responsible in proposing (to benefactors) what we want to do with our playground, we need to have information. Once we know what elements we want, we’ll know how to arrange for them.”

■ ‘Friends’ group on the horizon? In light of a recent City meeting that addressed how Rec Center funds citywide are collected and distributed, LJP&R, Inc. is considering

forming a “Friends” group to privately raise money for the La Jolla Rec Center .

Tyler Canales, area manager for the Pacific Beach and La Jolla Rec Centers, explained that City Attorney Mara Elliott looked at how San Diego Rec Councils were collecting and spending money, and determined that all money generated from permits and rental fees could be viewed as City money and as such would go directly to the City.

The resulting policy is still being finalized and will not go into effect for more than a year, he said.

“There are still a lot of questions,” Canales explained, “including what will happen with the money that currently sits in the LJP&R, Inc. general fund.”

Coakley-Munk noted a “significant amount” of what is in their general fund is from donations and grants, rather than fees and permits, and should not go to the City fund. Some suggested creating a Friends of La Jolla Rec Center group so there is a separate entity altogether, but the board did not take any action on the subject.

■ Program improvements: La Jolla Library branch manager Shaun Briley was on hand to offer suggestions to the board on how to grow Rec Center programming. He emphasized knowing the target market and exploring different community partnerships.

While he offered a list of possible lectures, fairs and classes LJP&R could implement, Coakley-Munk instructed each board member to generate an idea of their own to report at a future meeting.

■ More movies? Considering the success of the recent Movies in the Park event, at which “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” screened to 150 people, the board is looking at whether to host more movie nights. La Jolla Rec Center director Nicole Otjens said there are other Rec Centers that host five movie screenings a year.

Airplane noise sub-committee drafts recommendations

Full presentation scheduled for October

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON A sub-committee operating under the San Diego Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC), which was charged with drafting recommendations to ease airplane noise, had what could be its final meeting Sept. 27.

During the three-hour gathering, committee members brought forward their suggestions — everything from increased fines for curfew violations to changes in how pilots are trained — and refined them into a package to be presented to the full ANAC board for discussion at an Oct. 25 meeting.

The ANAC sub-committee settled on 64 recommendations that were grouped into six to 10 similar topics that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) could evaluate. The hope is that these changes would reduce the airplane noise that has plagued La Jollans since last fall. The increase in aircraft volume began in October 2016, but the FAA insists there were no changes in flight patterns that would cause the noise.

Sub-committee member and La Jolla resident Chris McCann said their recommendations include increase noise monitoring in impacted communities, increase fines for curfew violations (which have not changed in 10 years), make noise data publicly available, move certain flight paths and more.

Ideas that were deemed unfeasible were thrown out to ensure ANAC and FAA would

released at an unknown date this month, likely just before the next ANAC meeting.

The results were not available for the sub-committee to review, which McCann said he would have liked see to ensure that the information isn’t “cherry picked” in the FAA’s favor. “The fact that they kept it secret speaks volumes,” he said. “They don’t want to reveal anything that shows there really is a problem.”

When the data is released, McCann said he plans to correlate the data with registered complaints to see if one particular issue (planes flying too low, places suspected to be off-course, curfew violations) is the cause of most of the complaints.

La Jollans insist they’ve experienced an increase in aircraft noise since October 2016, but the FAA maintains there were no changes in flight patterns that would cause the noise.

ttake k th the sub-committee b itt work k seriously. i l “Not everyone got what they wanted, but overall, I thought it was a collaborative,” McCann said. “As individuals, we worked on this for about six weeks and looked at the concerns for our individual communities.

But when we came together, we realized a lot of the ideas were similar, so that made the whole thing operate that much more smoothly.”

Attending the Sept. 27 meeting were those who work with the full ANAC board and a FAA procedure developer who offered insight from their end of the table.

“This was the first meeting I’ve attended where I felt the Airport Authority was working with us to achieve something,” McCann said. “Not all our recommendations will be accepted, most won’t, and some don’t have a chance in hell. We don’t know

i anything is going to change, but if you if don’t do anything, nothing is going to change.”

He also cited ANAC’s “dismissive” attitude in the past and questioned whether the board would continue with that mindset.

“In most cities (where this is an issue), the Airport Authority works with the citizens, but with us, it has been the polar opposite. (I feel) they have been difficult and sneaky.”

The Big Reveal

At the same meeting where the sub-committee will present its recommendations, ANAC will hear the results of a noise study pertaining to La Jolla that was carried out over the course of almost a year.

ANAC heard a presentation on the purpose and methodology of the noise study earlier this year. But the results will be

A premature ending?

It’s unknown whether the sub-committee will continue to meet and make recommendations following the September meeting. It is within the ANAC sub-committee charter that the board would dissolve after it presents its recommendations, but McCann and others would like to see their work continue.

“Before the sub-committee started working,” he said, “there was no public input from those affected by airplane noise beyond public comment at meetings, which ANAC hears but doesn’t respond to. We will need to petition the Airport Authority to keep us going as a sub-committee.”

— The full ANAC board meets 4 p.m.

Bry helps kick off ‘1,000 Books Before Kindergarten’ program Registration at sandiegolibrary.org

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry was the guest of honor at La Jolla Library’s storytime Oct. 2 to launch the “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” literacy program. She read, and acted out, “Can You Make a Scary Face?” by Jan Thomas, to a few dozen young readers and their guardians.

On Monday morning, during synchronized story times at all 36 San Diego

branch libraries, the book was read by various City Council members and other City officials to launch the literacy program.

“Experiencing books at a very young age opens up so many opportunities for children — opportunities that pay off well into adulthood,” said San Diego Public Library director Misty Jones.

“By adding the ‘1,000 Books Before Kindergarten’ early literacy program at our library locations, we’re giving parents a clear path to follow to develop literacy skills in their children before they begin school.”

Those interested in signing up can earn

prizes along their reading journey.

Registration is open at sandiegolibrary.org It works this way: Any time your child reads a book (or you read a book to them), you mark it in a log, on paper or online.

Thankfully, reading a beloved classic more than once counts each time you read it.

If you read “I Love Trucks!” four times, log that as four books.

Simply for registering, participants get a bookmark. After the first 25 books, participants receive a lanyard with a library card holder.

For every 100 books, participants get a

“smart stripe” badge to hang on their lanyard. After reading the full 1,000 books, readers get a certificate of completion.

According to the National Educational Association, 26 percent of children who were read to three to four times a week by a family member recognized all the letters of the alphabet and are more prepared for kindergarten.

— The La Jolla Library is at 7555 Draper Ave. Hours are 12:30-5 p.m. Sunday; 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

Westfield UTC claims that employees from P.F. Chang’s (top) park all day in its lot.

Under the new rules, ArcLight Cinemas patrons will be allowed four hours of free parking instead of just two.

Westfield UTC to charge for parking after 2 hours

BY COREY LEVITAN Westfield UTC shopping mall will soon charge visitors who park longer than two hours, according to a San Diego Union-Tribune report. The change will take effect sometime in early 2018.

The reason, a mall exec said, is that some motorists park at the mall all day for free with no intention of shopping there.

“Others have been the beneficiaries of our 5,000 parking spaces for decades,” mall manager Ryan Perry reportedly told attendees of a UC San Diego retail real-estate conference last week. College students and

nearby businesses were blamed.

“We were shocked at how many friends at the IrvineCo. (offices) are parking on our site,” Perry said. “P.F. Chang’s employees park in our lot. UCSD students love to park at UTC and go to school (by bus).”

Perry added that the new rules restrict parking “in a thoughtful way.”

The only exceptions cited were for members of 24 Hour Fitness, who will receive three free hours, and ArcLight moviegoers, who will receive four. (This suggests that these tenants will issue validation stamps altering the standard

parking tickets.)

It’s not known how much parkers will need to pay per hour after their free time expires. A Westfield UTC spokesperson claimed she was “unable to provide responses” to this and other questions by press time.

While the new limitation will make it easier for mall patrons to find parking, it may curb business from those who like to spend all day browsing Macy’s or ice-skating, then grabbing a bite afterward. (The rink, owned by Westfield UTC, was not listed as an exception to the two-hour free parking limit.)

“I’m pretty annoyed,” said 20-year-old

Elissa Cope of San Diego, speaking from an SUV parked in the mall lot while enjoying a bowl of Sloan’s Ice Cream (her favorite). “If I want to hang out in the mall, then I shouldn’t have to worry about having to be on a time schedule to be back in my car.

“Why can’t they at least make it four hours free for everyone?” Cope added.

A new five-level parking structure is slated to open this month as part of a $600 million mall expansion. However, a portion of Westfield UTC’s original lot is now where a 300-apartment residential development is expected to open in 2019.

Week of events to celebrate Breeders’ Cup

BY PAM KRAGEN The Breeders’ Cup World Championships, being presented for the first time at the Del Mar Racetrack on Nov. 3 and 4, is the high-stakes, year-end championship for the thoroughbred racing season. Hoping to cash in on the excitement of the premiere races, a week-long festival of events has been announced.

The two-day series will include 13 Grade 1 races featuring more than 150 horses from 13 countries. The purses and awards for the weekend will total more than $28 million.

Over the past 33 years, the Cup has moved mostly between Santa Anita and Churchill Downs, with 10 other stops at Belmont Park, Gulfstream Park and the former Hollywood Park. Becoming a Cup host is a coup for Del Mar. Last year’s Breeders’ Cup weekend at Santa Anita drew more than 72,000 racing fans.

The Breeders’ Cup Festival of events will run Oct. 28 through Nov. 4 and includes poker and golf tournaments, concerts and art shows, galas and viewing parties. The festival was organized by the San Diego Tourism Authority, San Diego Sports Alliance and race Host Committee.

“With such a vibrant host-site for the Breeders’ Cup, we want to highlight all that San Diego has to offer, from the city’s exceptional cuisine to its stunning scenery,” said Stefanie Palmieri, Breeders’ Cup vice president of events, in a statement.

Here’s the lineup:

The last house standing from a set of four Cliff May originals on Mt. Soledad retains, for at least one visitor a day, a stange association with “The Wizard of Oz.”

Lessons From La Jolla’s Munchkin Land

COREY LEVITAN

Why the legend of small hilltop houses still looms large

BY COREY LEVITAN ny La Jollan with half a brain realizes there’s no truth to the story of a former Munchkin colony on Mt. Soledad. Even Google points directly to dozens of websites debunking it. Yet this urban legend refuses to go away. Tourists, UC San Diego students and even some residents (mostly teenagers) keep scouring Hillside Drive looking for it, year after year, needing to somehow judge with their own eyes.

According to the legend, there’s one house left standing — the last remnant of a villa where, flush with MGM cheddar, the most diminutive former stars of “The Wizard of Oz” lived out the rest of their lives in ocean-viewing secrecy.

Why are urban legends so satisfying and persistent, even when there’s ample evidence to contradict them? We followed this yellow brick road in search of answers.

A

California property developer. “He and Tommy Church, one of his landscape architects, would site the buildings looking at the lay of the land and settle the house in the most comfortable way, instead of just building a box on top of a hill.

“Because of that, you have some of these unique designs.”

The arching door frame of the remaining house stands just under six feet tall at its highest point. That may seem unusually low now, but it wasn’t atypical for either the ’30s or for May. “I showed Cliff May’s actual original ranch house in Kensington to a client about six months ago and it was exactly that way — lower,” said La Jolla real-estate agent Eugenia Garcia. “That was the style.”

The tall tale

To some mysterious someone in the intervening decades, however, these The truth architectural quirks required some deeper In the 1930s, four Mt. Soledad homes were meaning. So, since the houses hit the market designed by San Diego architect Cliff May, around the time of “The Wizard of Oz’s” the celebrated father of the California 1939 release and since L. Frank Baum wrote ranch-style house, on the 7470 block of parts of his Oz book series while wintering in Hillside Drive. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, May Coronado, boom. often built embracing Mother Nature instead Retellings of the story all seem to take on a of confronting it. In this case, instead of similar structure — a friend, or a friend’s constructing atop the rising hillside, he built parent or grandparent, knocked on the door slightly underneath it, allowing the street and of one of the houses years ago and got sidewalk to creep up 3 degrees along the shooed away by an angry Lollipop Guilder. foundations. Thus, some of the roofs could be (There’s only one left, 97-year-old Jerry touched from street level, while the rooms Maren, who lives in Boston.) inside were still standard height.

“At least once a day, someone drives up “That’s what he did a lot of times,” said here,” said Jeff Carlson, Garcia’s husband May’s son, Michael, a retired Alamo, and also a real-estate agent. The couple

occupy the modern mansion they had built in 2013 across the street from the “Munchkin house,” as Garcia says it’s actually identified on one of her Realtor apps.

They have a bird’s-eye view from 50 feet above the property and think of themselves as its guardians, since they say it’s currently owned by a sweet elderly couple who aren’t home much. (This reporter knocked on two separate occasions and no one answered.)

“During the day, it looks like they’re tourists pulling up,” Carlson said. “At night, I think it’s more of the younger people telling more of the urban legend.”

Garcia added: “It’s never a party thing, never obnoxious or anything. People just stop there, get out, take a picture and drive on.”

The constant fascination is probably more of a nuisance to La Jolla Historical Society archivist Michael Mishler.

“This is actually one of those things, working here, it’s like, not the munchkins again,” he said. “They are one of those things that people just want to talk about.

For me as an archivist, someone who studies history, I don’t consider ghost stories (to be) history stories.”

However, even Mishler admits ascending the winding road almost as soon as he got his driver’s license in the mid-’70s. “One of my friends mentioned that I had to see the Munchkin houses,” he said. (There were three at the time, he recalled.)

By the way, there are similar nonexistent “Munchkin Lands” in both Long Beach and Detroit.

Myth interpreted

Even 78 years later, the Munchkins have something to teach us about ourselves.

“We love things that are amazing but true,” said UC San Diego psychology professor Nicholas Christenfeld. “Our whole visual system is primed to detect change, movement, things that pop out. So urban legends capitalize on this – you won’t believe this but.”

At the same time, Christenfeld said, we’re also famously unresponsive to empirical evidence.

“People have a belief and then are skeptical about evidence that defies it and embrace evidence that supports it,” Christenfeld said. “If the story is good enough, sometimes we don’t care whether it’s true.”

Is this sounding familiar yet?

“Urban legends are fake news in a literal sense,” Christenfeld said. “We hear of something because it could be true and it’s really too bad that it isn’t, but I’m going to share it anyway.”

Now add to all this the desire most of us have for a personal relationship with our favorite bits of pop culture, and the enduring legacy of “The Wizard of Oz,” and it all makes perfect sense.

May’s son said he never heard of Mt. Soledad’s Munchkin Land, and can’t speak on the subject on behalf of his dad, who died in 1989.

“But it’s interesting,” he said. “I think he had a good sense of humor, I think he’d have had fun with it and thought it was funny.”

House on Virginia Way designated ‘historical’

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON In a sea of houses painted shades of beige, off-white and light gray, a dark gray 1920s Tudor Revival style house sits up in the hillside of Virginia Way. The San Diego Historical Resources Board (HRB) designated the property, known as the Anna Vickers House, as historical during its Sept. 28 meeting downtown. The designation was listed on the “consent agenda,” which means there was no discussion on the item.

The Anna Vickers House, located at 1419 Virginia Way, was designated under HRB Criterion C, which reads: (The property) embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction or is a valuable example of the use of natural materials or craftsmanship.

Brett and Michelle Lanuti, represented by Ione Stiegler of IS Architecture, were the applicants seeking the designation. The historical resource research report was prepared by IS Architecture.

According to the HRB statement: “The house continues to convey the historic significance of the Tudor Revival style and retains integrity from its 1928 period of significance. Specifically, the resource exhibits a steeply pitched gable roof; brick veneer; board and batten siding; tall, narrow windows with multi-pane glazing; a front facing gable on the main façade; gable wall dormers; and a massive chimney.”

The house is named for Anna Vickers, who constructed it as her personal residence. It was designed by the firm Webber, Staunton

The Tudor Revival style Anna Vickers House, 1419 Virginia Way, retains integrity from its 1928 period of significance and so was recently designated ‘historical.’ & Spaulding and built by Henry Barkey.

“Popular in the 1920s and 1930s, Tudor Revival architecture is loosely based on a variety of late Medieval English styles and influences, but unlike some English prototypes, Tudor Revival style houses exhibit steeply pitched gable roofs that dominate the facades,” staff reports read.

“Relatively uncommon before World War I,

widespread adoption of masonry veneering techniques in the 1920s accompanied a dramatic rise in the style’s popularity as even the most modest examples began to closely mimic the brick and stone veneers of their English prototypes. Tudor Revival style houses usually include the use of stucco as well as wood cladding and brick or stone veneer, depending upon the subtype.”

ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

The house was modified several times, primarily in the last 16 years. Modifications included relocating the basement stairs from the interior to the exterior, adding the shed dormer (a feature that extends the height of living space) and adding a new roof.

However, HRB reports these modifications do not significantly impair integrity of design, materials, workmanship or feeling.

Vikings team defeats Francis Parker 13-5

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The La Jolla High School girls tennis team, which won the 2016 CIF Division I CIF Championship, is back and stronger than ever. On Oct. 2, the Lady Vikings defeated Francis Parker 13-5 at home.

The team was broken up into three doubles pairs and three single players, so each of La Jolla High School’s six courts had at least one Viking on it.

Coach Darice Carnaje said this year’s team has a lot of return players from last year’s championship-winning group.

“It’s basically the same team as last year, and we’re having a good season so far, so I expect it will continue to be a good season,” she said. Standouts from the Oct. 2 match included singles player Alex Kuo and the doubles team of Haley Mossmer and Olivia Doehr.

This week, the Vikings take on Patrick Henry High School, 3:30 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 5 at La Jolla High School, and then Coronado High School 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10 at Coronado. The last cross-town rivalry of the season will be 3:15 p.m. Oct. 18 against The Bishop’s School at Bishop’s, 7607 La Jolla Blvd. (The Vikings already played, but lost to, La Jolla Country Day School).

The Coast Walk trail bridge was closed entirely because the entry (seen in the top left of this photo) is unstable.

reinforced in the early 1990s, can be restored. (It’s unknown when it was originally built.)

Under the in-development agreement, the City would also manage vegetation that some argue has gotten out of hand.

“There was some planting done (along the Coast Walk Trail parking lot) that is consistent with the types of things allowed in coastal bluff areas, but there has been failures in maintenance,” Harris said. “So we have started working with Friends of Coast Walk to recast an agreement … because it has only been maintained by hand and not as well as we would like considering it is City property. We want to make sure that it’s done right ... so those plants will not come up above the view corridor.”

Additionally, Harris said the overgrown vegetation along a segment of Torrey Pines Road would be similarly maintained. In March 2015, the City lowered the height of the fence from six feet to four feet, removed a tarp that blocked ocean views and removed some of the vegetation.

Parks & Beaches advisory board meeting.

The footing for the affected portion has been “wiped out,” and would require “invasive” work to restore. In what is turning out to be an “epic project,” Harris said all appropriate City departments that would need to weigh in have been informed, and the California Coastal Commission would soon need to join the conversation.

“Engineers are coming up with a design concept, but until they come up with and get those concepts in place, there is no way to launch a permitting process, so we do not have a timeline,” Harris told the board. “In the interim, the plan is to re-route the trail, bring it up a little bit from its current configuration, and essentially bypass the bridge so you can get on the trail. Our engineers are looking at a way to do that and what that would mean.”

The bypass would be a temporary measure until the bridge, which was built to its current configuration in 1932 and

Some residents say vegetation along Torrey Pines Road has gotten out of hand.

However, some nearby homeowners have since re-planted vegetation that has grown well above the height of the fence. Some homeowners have trimmed the plants to the fence-line. Others have not.

The outlying vegetation has been brought up at La Jolla Community Planning Association meetings for the last several months.

“We’re going to bundle maintenance of that hillside and the maintenance of the vegetation with the agreement we strike with Friends of Coast Walk because it will all be part and parcel with the work we do on the trail side,” Harris said.

“We want to codify what they can do and will do in terms of maintenance.”

A mixed message?

Signs are posted on both ends indicating the bridge is closed. However, physical deterrents such as stop signs, A-frame signs, caution tape or “Bridge Closed” signs have been moved, leaving an open path to access the bridge and trail. It is not know who moved the signage.

In other Parks & Beaches news: ■ Concours d’Elegance a-go: The Concours d’Elegance car show in April — which is always a hot debate at La Jolla Parks & Beaches meetings because the event closes off almost all of Scripps Park — was discussed and the board voted to support the event in 2018. The 2017 car show had record attendance.

For the event, a portion of Coast Boulevard is lined with classic cars and open to the public for free viewing, but the main, ticketed event takes up the entire park and uses six-foot tall fencing and tarps.

Concours organizer Michael Dorvillier told the board “the fenced-in, ticketed event includes hospitality suits and VIP booths. It’s how we raise our revenue. These suits are our biggest source of income.” Proceeds go to La Jolla Historical Society, and provide about half of the LJHS’s annual operating budget.

“I spoke with the Department of Park & Rec and as far as they know, the City has never cleaned the wrack …” he said.

A few audience members interrupted to say that was not true; they witnessed lifeguards cleaning the wrack decades ago.

However, Medina continued “… and right now do not have the resources or capacity to do so.”

At issue is the excessive build-up of wrack on the beach, which some consider to be unsightly and unpleasantly pungent, and others argue provides a food source for beach invertebrates, which in turn are a food source for shore birds.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

The alley scene after a sanitation worker was killed by a ‘runaway’ trash truck, Oct. 2 in La Jolla.

Sanitation worker killed in La Jolla, Monday

Three residential burglaries within half-mile on same day

A 22-year-old sanitation worker was killed after he was pinned against a building wall by a trash truck the morning of Monday, Oct. 2 in the alley off Torrey Pines Road between Girard and Herschel avenues in La Jolla.

The victim has not yet been identified, pending family notification.

San Diego Police Commander Lt. Charles Lara said it appeared the worker was driving his Tayman trash collection truck and emptying dumpsters in the alley when one of the receptacles got away from him. As he attempted to reconnect the dumpster to the truck, the truck began to move, pinning him against a wall.

“That injury, the pressure of that truck against a human body, is not survivable,” Lara said. The young man was transported to Scripps La Jolla hospital.

Three residential burglaries were reported within half a mile of each other, on the same day, within five hours. Police were not able to reply by deadline to La Jolla Light requests of whether they were related, what was taken and the mode of entry.

The burglaries took place in the Country Club and Muirlands West neighborhoods on Saturday, Sept. 30 — 4:15 p.m. on the 6800 block Country Club Drive, 5 p.m. on the 6900 block of Fairway Road and 8:52 p.m. on the 6800 block of Paseo Laredo.

The Light will continue to investigate and report any additional information as it becomes available. In the meantime, police advise homeowners to keep their doors and windows locked.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS (CONTINUED) some. I cooked one piece for dinner and put the rest in the refrigerator. I got really sick that night, and continued to be sick for two days.”

She said when she went to store the remaining piece, she saw something moving and realized there were small worms along the top of the salmon. “I wondered if there was something in the piece that I ate,” she said.

When she went to return the fish, she said the management was “defensive” and told her parasites in fish were common.

“If that is the case, there should be a warning or a label (on the package or on the store shelf) stating there could be worms or parasites,” she advised. “The manager said the worms would be killed by cooking the salmon, and that the worms provided protein, can you believe it?” she said.

Similar discoveries were made in August, when people reported to various news media in San Diego that they found live worms in the salmon purchased at Costco in Chula Vista, Lemon Grove and San Marcos. Representatives from the Morena Costco were not able to comment by deadline.

Circulate San Diego releases pedestrian safety videos Circulate San Diego and the San Diego Police Department released two videos to promote Vision Zero, the City’s plan to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2025.

The video public service announcements emphasize the importance of being safe and aware when walking and driving on San Diego streets. They feature San Diego’s newest superhero, “Captain VZ,” draped in a reflective cape and armed with a safety message.

In the first video, Captain VZ engages elementary school students and helps adults share pedestrian safety tips with children with “Five Steps to Crossing the Street Safely.” It can be found here or by searching for the title on youtube.com:

youtube.com/watch?v=lIqHE3DBbwQ The second video, “Watch for Pedestrians,” shows the importance of spotting people on the street, and how conditions can change in an instant while driving. It can be found here or by searching for the title on youtube.com: youtube.com/watch?v=Gw6evFCtaZI According to a recent report from the San Diego County Coroner, 101 pedestrians died on the streets across San Diego County last year. This is approximately one third of all traffic deaths in 2016, an increase from 93 pedestrian deaths in 2015, and is just short of the County record set in 1994 of 103 deaths.

La Sede will be located at 7853 Herschel Ave. in the former home of Tijon Fragrance Lab in The Village, and open by Nov. 1.

Chef plans new event space in La Jolla

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON With the closure of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) La Jolla campus for a multi-year, multi-million dollar expansion project, Chef Giuseppe Ciuffa of Giuseppe Catering, who operated the museum café for 17 years, announced a new concept to open in La Jolla by Nov. 1.

Dubbed “La Sede,” the project will be a tasting room for the catering company and event space for celebrations. “I envisioned La Sede as a hub for food and an inspired space for celebration,”

said Ciuffa. “By appointment, the public can taste our menu in the catering showroom, envision a gathering in our event space or explore new culinary creations at our exclusive pop-up dinners. La Sede is a place to experience what we do and how we do it up close.”

La Sede (which is loosely translated to mean “headquarters”) will be located at 7853 Herschel Ave. in the former home of Tijon Fragrance Lab in The Village.

According to press material, the

2,000-square-foot backdrop for events at La Sede will “blend the nostalgia of classic Italy with the modern chic of new Italy. Co-created by Ciuffa and designer Tiffany Brown, the effect is at once comfortable and warm, yet edgy and exciting.”

Cieffa is also the chef behind downtown San Diego’s Bottega Americano.

Although the space hasn’t opened, bookings for fall events and holiday gatherings are being taken. (858) 581-2205. grnfc.com

Morena Storage: Transitions drive our business

BY DAVID L. CODDON Morena Storage’s Ellen Wayne is talking about life when she says that “Transitions drive our business.”

“When people are changing jobs or when they’re in a move, sometimes transitions can be for a good reason. Sometimes they can be a tougher transition. Our main goal with everyone who enters our doors is to make their day better. Whether theirs is a ‘good” move or a harder move, it’s stressful.”

Of course some customers use storage space for … well, storage, but life situations factor in here, too.

“We have some customers who like to use storage as an extension of their home,” explained Wayne, who is marketing director for 5 Star Storage, which owns and operates both Morena Storage in San Diego’s Morena District and Solana Beach Storage in North County. “They want to clean up and get organized, and they use us as an extra closet.

So we’re sort of a permanent fixture or an extension of their home or business.”

Wayne says customers aren’t necessarily storing miscellaneous items for which they simply do not have room. On the contrary, some have sentimental value. “It makes people happy to hold on to their treasures,” she said, “things they just don’t have room for.”

5 Star Storage owns and operates both Morena Storage in San Diego’s Morena District and Solana Beach Storage in North County.

And a storage unit makes sense.

“If you wanted to keep these things, you’d spend more on your office lease or your home or rent to have enough space to store everything. Storage is a much cheaper solution,” Wayne said.

There are, of course, a lot of storage companies in San Diego County, but Wayne touts Morena Storage’s “extra services” for making it special. “The biggest service we provide,” she said, “is we will make it very easy to move in: a free truck and one of our

staff members will go with you in the truck to load up your items at your home and bring them back here. You won’t find anyone else out there who will do that. That takes so much of the weight of the move off our customers. They can rest assured about all of our staff — they’re good strong guys.”

Between Solana Beach Storage and Morena Storage, Morena is “the new one,” Wayne jokes. It’s “only” been around since 1989.

(Solana Beach Storage opened in 1973.)

You’ll find 1,700 storage units on the Morena District premises and 10 employees.

Besides the storage spaces, you can rent trucks and U-hauls and you can purchase boxes and related packing supplies.

“The thing is with storage,” Wayne said, “it’s a very good business in all different kinds of economies. It’s recession-proof. We have every kind of customer here, too: young, old, people with lots of money, people who don’t have much money.”

“People,” she reminded again, “in all kinds of life transitions.”

Morena Storage hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday-Saturday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, at 908 Sherman St., San Diego. (619) 207-4141. 5starstorage.com — Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support La Jolla Light.

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

OUR READERS WRITE County: Tips for removing human waste from sidewalks One morning last week, as I headed to my car for work, I spotted a pair of blue plaid boxer shorts filled with human excrement in a corner of my driveway. In light of the current Hepatits A outbreak in San Diego, how do I get this potentially hazardous “artifact” removed from my premises? I assume it was left by a homeless individual.

Susan Boyer Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light put your question to Michael Workman, director of the County Communications Office, and he got back to us with this statement for publication from the Health Department: “We recommend that precautions be taken: • Any person handling feces or other bodily fluids should always wear gloves.

• Clean up visible debris using disposable absorbent material (paper towels or other type of disposal cloth) or with an instrument such as a shovel.

• Spray feces and soiled items with a disinfectant approved for Hepatitis A. • Discard feces/soiled items carefully in an impervious plastic bag and discard in trash.

• Disinfect the area and any instruments used in the removal. Application of a disinfectant must be per the label requirements.

• Do NOT wash area with hose and allow water to go into storm drain.

• Gloves should be discarded in a plastic bag and placed into trash.”

Regarding short-term rentals: Just enforce laws already made The La Jolla Light article in the Sept. 28 issue on the proposal by City Council members Ward, Sherman, Kersey and Alvarez to regulate short-term vacation rentals, fails to focus on the central issue. Such rentals, as City Attorney Mara Elliott opined last March, are “prohibited” and “unlawful.”

Therefore, it would be better for the vast majority of San Diego citizens if, instead of amending the Municipal Code to benefit AirBnB, VRBO and those individuals who wish to turn their residences into cash cows, the Council were to enforce the existing prohibition.

If the San Diego Municipal Code is to be amended, whether by the proposal of the all-male quartet or the less generous one of Council member Barbara Bry, it should be accomplished only after a thorough examination of the effects — financial, social, cultural, moral — on ALL the citizens of San Diego, not just those fortunate enough to be owners or managers of dwelling units large enough to be offered as short-term vacation rentals.

Watson Branch Attorney at law

‘Acceptable’ home plans should be approved First, I am a land-use and real estate lawyer with Peterson & Price, A.P.C., not an architect,

Lifeguard Fran Blankenship at La Jolla Cove, 1946 as stated in the Sept. 28 issue story on the Dolphin Place project before the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR), although being an architect would be fun.

Second, I note that on nearly all other matters Corey Levitan reports upon, the decision of the DPR is clearly stated, usually in the first sentence. In this case, for some unknown reason, that key piece of information was left out.

The DPR previously recommended denial of the home and the matter was set to go before the La Jolla Community Planning Association.

We asked to be returned to the DPR, so that we could explore additional modifications to address DPR concerns and recommendations.

Based upon meaningful changes and modifications that DPR members acknowledged, the DPR UNANIMOUSLY recommended approval, with one abstention.

Neither the La Jolla Community Plan nor the San Diego Municipal Code provide for the protection of 100 percent of a neighbor’s panoramic and sweeping private views. The proposed home was designed and specifically re-designed to limit the private view impact to the up-slope neighbors.

A proposed home that is 1) consistent with character and scale of the vast majority of homes in the area (including the immediate neighbors), 2) designed to be sensitive to and minimize private view impacts, and 3) in compliance with all of the applicable rules and regulations of the Community Plan and the Municipal Code, should be approved.

Reminiscing: A day in the life of a Junior Lifeguard This casual photo of lifeguard Fran Blankenship is of interest because it clearly shows the perch clinging to the sandstone cliff in the background. It had a small seat for the lifeguard on watch and the front was open for quick access. The view of The Cove’s main swimming area was excellent.

As a Junior Lifeguard, I was often assigned to be on watch from the perch while Senior Lifeguards sat in comfortable chairs. They were close enough to tell me what I should do. I still remember when Fran cupped his hands like a

COURTESY

megaphone and said, “Junior! Over by the rocks.

There’s a couple under a blanket. The blanket is flapping around. Go do something about it!”

Puzzled by the instructions, I climbed down and headed, a bit slowly, toward the blanket, which was still flapping up and down.

“What am I supposed to do?” I thought. “Pull off the blanket? No. Tug on the corner? No. Throw some sand on it? Of course not.” Then I decided. I walked up close to the blanket and speaking in a deep authoritative voice said, “I’m a lifeguard! You have to stop and come out of there! Now!” Nothing happened. I repeated my order.

Nothing happened.

Thinking like a Senior Lifeguard, I took action and grabbed a corner of the blanket and gave it a big jerk.

I was startled and jumped backward to avoid something rapidly rising in the air. Much to my surprise, up flew two large seagulls, still clutching morsels of picnic leftovers in their beaks.

Junior Lifeguards really hate it when beach crowds break into laughter and shouting as we lifeguards do our best to protect the public from big waves and rip currents — or, well, do whatever Senior Lifeguards think will be amusing.

I still wonder. Did the Senior Lifeguards know the leftovers under the blankets were just for the birds? Or did they believe that people were under the blanket and — well, I never asked them as I climbed back into my perch. But, yeah! They knew.

Senior Lifeguards do those things to Juniors.

But not me when I’m a Senior. Well, maybe if it’s a quiet day and Junior needs a break from saving beautiful young ladies.

Longtime La Jollan Norman Smith still enjoying life

BY COREY LEVITAN urning the big three digits doesn’t suck for everyone. Norman Smith reaches the milestone on Oct. 12. The former La Jolla resident is still tack-sharp and — other than the knee arthritis that put him in a wheelchair — isn’t falling apart physically, either.

“It feels about the same as 90,” Smith says in his apartment at the Seacrest Village retirement home in Encinitas.

The secret to Smith’s longevity is most likely genetic; his mom lived 105 years. “I picked the right mother, what can I say?” says Smith, who was born outside Pittsburgh the year America entered World War I. He adds: “I’m still enjoying myself.” Since a greater percentage of Americans is reaching this milestone than ever, about 22 percent, it’s a relief to hear that this is even possible.

T

Alone but not lonely

Smith’s childhood friends are all gone, but he still has family members and newer friends who either visit or e-mail. He’s a voracious reader of both fiction and non-fiction. And, like pretty much everyone these days, he surfs the Internet for far too many hours a day.

“I do what I like,” he says. This also still includes going out to dinner every Friday night with a couple who lives in Del Mar. Smith lost his only wife, June, to Alzheimer’s five years ago. He said he misses her dearly, and keeps her pastel drawings and sculptures around to remind him of their 73 happy years together. They met in 1939, in the Brooklyn corned-beef joint owned by her dad, where she occasionally worked the cash register. Initially, she was not interested in Smith at all.

“It was a long fight,” Smith says as he stares at the framed black-and-white photograph of June he keeps by his bed.

“But I won. She was a lovely lady. I was lucky, really lucky.”

Smith says he doesn’t wallow in the past, though, because he still has a present.

“I’m really looking forward to this party,” he says about his 100th birthday bash, where 50 guests are expected to cram the La Jolla house he still owns. They include his two sons — David, 71, and Larry, 66 — who are flying in to celebrate.

Norman Smith enjoys books, dining out and surfing the Internet in his retirement apartment in Encinitas.

Early University City role

In addition to a wonderful marriage, Smith says he had a rewarding career that included being one of the three original incorporators — along with Irvin Kahn and Carlos Tavares — of University City. It was Smith who named its first streets, built on former Clairemont-adjacent farmland, in 1962.

“I remember Pennant Way,” he says.

“That’s where the model homes where, so we had lots of flags.”

Smith was executive vice president of Kahn’s corporation at the time, a job he got through good old-fashioned nepotism. “He was my first cousin,” Smith says. “It was kind of like, ‘Let’s find something to do for Norman.’ ”

La Jolla ties

Developing wasn’t Smith’s first line of work; that was running a chain of liquor stores called Smitty’s. It’s what brought him to La Jolla for the first time. When asked the main difference he notices between The Village in the late 1950s and today, Smith replies that he could probably purchase a store on Prospect Street today. Back then, he says, “the owner wouldn’t sell to a Jew.” (Smith had to get two gentiles to front for him in a double escrow.)

One of the loudest La Jolla voices taking on its rampant anti-Semitism at the time belonged to Tavares, a devout Catholic of Portuguese descent.

“It wasn’t quiet disagreement,” Smith says.

“He stood up against it. He also had other

COREY LEVITAN

Jewish partners before Kahn and myself. He had two main issues: build more churches and be nice to Jews.”

Norman returned to a more-inclusive La Jolla in 1983, to build a home that June designed on Westway Drive. Larry initially only dropped his father off at Seacrest Village for a month of rehab following a hospital stay for back problems. Smith0 grew accustomed to living with assistance, though, just when a permanent one-bedroom opened up for $7,000 a month including kosher food.

“I’ve led a very interesting life,” Smith says, “I really have.” Smith says he has had some regrets along the way, but “the good thing about living to 100 is you forget what they were.”

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Application is filed for gates at Cove stairs A City of San Diego permit application has been submitted to the California Coastal Commission for the construction and installation of a gate at the La Jolla Cove access stairs for the purpose of keeping sea lions off the stairs. A notice was posted Aug. 29 at The Cove announcing the pending work.

The idea for gates was last discussed in July at the La Jolla Town Council “Crisis at The Cove” forum. At that time, however, some trustees opined that the City is attempting to move and exclude humans rather than sea lions by installing the gates.

The notice reads: “Installation of gates on the lower stairways to prevent sea lions from entering upper stair and deck areas. Gate will remain open during the day to allow full access. Gates will not (be) able to be locked closed but can be locked open when not in use. ‘Beach Open’ signs will be posted on both gates. Gates will only be used for sea lion control.”

It is unknown when construction would proceed.

EIR public comment period closes Oct. 9 for UCSD’s Mesa Housing Nuevo project Through Oct. 9, comments are being accepted on the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the planned Mesa Housing Nuevo West and East project at UC San Diego.

According to the Draft EIR, the project consists of two campus student housing developments and a parking structure located on separate, but proximate sites, as well as roadway and infrastructure improvements, within the approximately 86-acre east campus Mesa Housing Neighborhood.

“Nuevo West would redevelop an approximately 6.2-acre housing site that forms the West Mesa portion of the neighborhood. The approximately 13.2-acre Nuevo East site is located within the North Mesa Apartments portion of the neighborhood, wherein redeveloped campus housing (Mesa Nueva project) is currently under construction and nearing completion in 2017,” it reads.

“The residential sites are located south of Miramar Street and west of Regents Road on either side of the Mesa Nueva project. The parking structure, which is part of Nuevo West, would be located north of Miramar Street and west of Athena Circle, on an existing surface parking lot. Utility and roadway improvements associated with the project are also proposed within the vicinity of Miramar Street and Athena Circle, adjacent to the housing sites.”

The Draft EIR is also available for review during business hours at the La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. and can be viewed online at bit.ly/ucsdplans Any comments regarding accuracy of the Draft EIR should be emailed to env-review@ucsd.edu or mailed to: Catherine

Transcranial electrical stimulation shows promise in brain injury

125 carat Colombian

Using a form of low-impulse electrical stimulation to the brain, documented by neuroimaging, researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System (VASDHS) and collaborators elsewhere, report significantly improved neural function in participants with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Their findings are published online in the current issue of the journal Brain Injury.

TBI is a leading cause of sustained physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral problems in both the civilian population (primarily due to motor vehicle accidents, sports, falls and assaults) and among military personnel (blast injuries). In the majority of cases, injury is deemed mild (75 percent of civilians, 89 percent of military), and typically resolves in days.

But in a significant percentage of cases, mild TBI and related post-concussive symptoms persist for months, even years, resulting in chronic, long-term cognitive and/or behavioral impairment.

Much about the pathology of mild TBI is not well understood, which the authors say has confounded efforts to develop optimal treatments. However, they note the use of passive neuro-feedback, which involves applying low-intensity pulses to the brain through transcranial electrical stimulation (LIP-tES), has shown promise.

Lost in translation

La Jolla Cultural Partners

aving lived an aggregate of three years in foreign countries whose languages I did not speak when I got there, I am usually the last one to make fun of anyone’s English language skills. I can assure you that I have provided many foreigners with a great deal of entertainment while I attempted to master their tongue.

Years back, when Asian-made calculators first hit the American market, it was a source of some hilarity to read the instructions written by people who had obviously scored in the bottom half of their English classes.

But in today’s global marketplace, English proficiency is so universal that it is really rare to find forms or manuals that are incomprehensible.

When Olof and I were moving to Sweden, we had to fill out a form for the belongings we were shipping to avoid paying duties and taxes on them. The Swedes speak English better than most Americans (and interestingly, can usually name all of our state capitals). Maybe translating customs forms is the job you get in Sweden to punish you if you failed to excel in your English language studies. The form was entitled: Particulars regarding sojourn in a third country A) Are you a so-called immigrant (i.e. a person who has had his/her normal residence in a third

country for a continuous period of at least one year?)

Or: B) Are you a so-called returner (i.e. a person who has residence in a third country for professional purposes for at least one year?)

C) Did you take any breaks for visits to the community?

WHAT third country? WHAT community?

Never mind that being referred to as “so-called” made us feel so … so marginalized. Never able to figure out whether we were hapless returners or community sojourners, we ended up ignoring the form altogether. Fortunately, all our stuff got here, and we didn’t get charged taxes and duties, although it would have taken them all of a microsecond’s glance at either of our wardrobes to ascertain that we were not smuggling Prada into Sweden.

More recently, Olof’s MP3 player broke and he ordered a new one on Amazon.

Fortunately he already knew how to work it, as the instruction manual read as follows: Statements: 1) Firstly, we deeply appreciate you for using our mp3 digital player in advance. The detailed specification should be based on our actual products. Information in this manual is subject to change without further notice.

2) Without the prior written permission of our company, it is strictly prohibited to copy, transfer, distribute and store our company’s manual in any forms.

3) During the preparation process of the manual, we have been tried our best to keep the content correctly and completely but we can not guarantee there are not other mistakes in this manual, our company will not take any responsibility for other mistakes.

4) In order to follow the continuous development strategy, we reserve the rights to modify and improve the products which described in this manual without prior notice.

5) In any case, we will not be liable for any loss of data or income.

6) The final interpretation of the products is owned by our company.

This MP3 Player … supports lossless format, enthusiast listener essential artifact.

Button function: Short press the button to drop out.

Attention: This section is for users to use the player properly to ensure a good life’s habits.

1) Please do not thump the product.

2) The product needs to be kept away from the chemical benzole and diluent etc.

3) Please keep it away from the strong magnetic field, electrical field.

4) Please do not disassemble, fix and change it by yourself.

5) Do not listen to the larger voice, so as to avoid adverse effects on hearing.

6) The abandon package, battery, old electronics, please category compromised.

Obviously some of it is charmingly understandable. I know firsthand what trouble you can get into when you try to translate straight from a dictionary. Or even

Let’s Talk About Home Care.

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

Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home.

Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents.

Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock.

Contact a Client Care Manager today to schedule your free in-home consultation!

La Jolla Playhouse Presents

WoW Festival heads downtown and beyond Oct. 19-22

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT La Jolla Playhouse’s Without Walls Festival (WoW), a biennial adventure that has been bringing theater out of buildings and into the wider world since 2013, made a giant leap this year, moving almost all performances to downtown San Diego and beyond.

As before, the four-day event will feature immersive, innovative, site-specific pieces by local and international artists. This year’s venues are as varied as the performers, including San Diego Central Library, The New Children’s Museum, Horton Plaza Park, and Bread & Salt Art Gallery in Barrio Logan.

Here are five WoW Fest highlights, some of them family-friendly. For complete schedule and tickets, visit wowfestival.org 1) Under Construction: An American Masque This multimedia masque, presented by Sledgehammer Theatre and the UC San Diego Department of Theatre & Dance, is set in a pop-up banquet hall and features songs, dances and memory collages from then and now, mixing 1950s Norman Rockwell scenes with 21st-century settings by the late, great installation artist Jason Rhoades. Light bites will be available, too.

— 8:15 p.m. Oct. 19; 7:30 p.m. Oct. 20; 7 p.m. Oct. 21 and 22 at Bread & Salt, 1955 Julian Ave. Tickets $29.

High Road From China

Education delegates visit La Jolla High

A

delegation of Chinese educators from Huzhou City, San Diego’s “friendship city,” visited recently to learn why La Jolla High School consistently ranks within California’s top 50 schools.

To welcome them, students from San Diego Unified’s Barnard Asian Pacific Language Academy performed

traditional Chinese songs, music and dance in the auditorium, addressing the six dignitaries in their native language. (Barnard is one of just three district schools offering a Mandarin language program.)

The presentation was followed by an address from SDUSD superintendent Cindy Marten. —Corey Levitan

San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Beware Phony Treatments for Spider and Varicose Veins It is inevitable that for any medical condition, theories will pop up for how to treat these conditions with home remedies, with cheap and practical solutions that “really work.” Most are schemes hatched by snakeoil peddlers, with no medical background, who are seeking to make some easy money by either pitching a product that can be put together in their home kitchen or can gain them followers (and advertising revenue) on social media. While some phony treatments will just make users look a little foolish, some can even be hazardous to your health.

1. Tomato Slices. Apparently, there is a myth that tomatoes will remedy varicose veins if you slice them and put the slices on the capillaries, then wrap the area with a bandage. This is not true.

Putting food on your legs will not cure spider veins.

But you may smell like a salad.

2. Garlic and other herbal remedies. This time, the myth goes that the garlic should be consumed daily to remedy poor circulation and reduce inflammation (although one “remedy” does suggest making a paste out of minced garlic and alcohol and spreading it on your legs). Now, perhaps if you have varicose veins and are worried about attracting the attention of vampires, then by all means, paste away. But otherwise, this is nonsense. Garlic may have some useful benefits as part of any well-balanced diet, but it is not a medicine any more than a tomato, and it will not “cure” spider or varicose veins.

will not “cure” spider or varicose veins. In fact, supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA, so there is no oversight on what gets put into them and how much, and studies are often not conducted on their effects or their general safety. Always be careful when taking supplements, and consult your doctor to see what would be of any benefit.

The same is true for herbals such as witch hazel and horse chestnut, which are purported to effectively treat venous insufficiency and prevent leg cramps and swelling of the ankles and varicose veins but actually do nothing. Horse chestnut can even be toxic if prepared at home.

5. Apple cider vinegar and natural oils.

This is a popular one, that apple cider vinegar is a miracle potion that can keep you from ever visiting a doctor again. While it may have good dietary benefits when taken in small doses, it won’t fix your spider or varicose veins. Similarly, proponents rave about the miraculous restorative effects of oils such as emu oil and castor oil, but sadly, these claims are untrue. Notice the pattern here. Food or herbs or spices may be beneficial dietary components, but they won’t fix you, weather you consume it or rub it onto your skin.

3. Cold showers. While cold water or ice packs can help reduce swelling in the legs, thereby reducing pressure on your legs, the coolness won’t cure your spider veins. But it may help swollen legs feel better after a long day.

6. Food can’t cure veins, but yoga can.

No, yoga can’t “cure” veins. Low impact yoga may help with overall health, has been known to reduce blood pressure, and can help maintain a healthy body weight.

4. Supplements. The supplements industry is huge. And of course, it is enticing to imagine that taking natural herbs and vitamins can keep you in the peak of health or even, dare to dream, cure what ails you. However, taking supplements, even the popular Vitamin K and butcher’s broom,

7. Aloe Vera is a proven natural cure. Aloe vera is good for protecting cuts while they heal, and it has cooling properties that can soothe the skin.

But spider veins and varicose veins aren’t problems of the skin; they are problems of the veins and a sign of a venous disorder. No topical rub or cream

can remove your problem veins.

There is no “cure” for spider or varicose veins. By avoiding a visit to a doctor or vein specialist, you could even be jeopardizing your health by allowing a medical condition to worsen.

Treatment for spider and varicose veins includes laser treatment and sclerotherapy, respectively, which remove existing problem veins but do not magically eliminate the condition. If you are susceptible to spider or varicose veins, which come from a weakening of the venous walls, there is no potion to reverse these effects. There is no one “type” of person who is prone to spider and varicose veins, and if you’re genetically predisposed to them, chances are good that you will get them in your lifetime.

However, to maintain optimum venous health, you can reduce the risk of worsening the condition by maintaining a healthy blood pressure, which means regular low-impact exercise, eating a wellbalanced diet and staying away from foods that can increase blood pressure, and maintaining a healthy weight to avoid additional strain on the blood vessels.

If you have more questions about real vein treatments or are ready to consider laser treatment or sclerotherapy, visit us at www.sdveininstitute. com or contact us at 760-944-9263.

LET’S REVIEW

Art Association ‘raffle’ is a labor of love

BY WILL BOWEN t was all quiet on the outside, but a pressure cooker on the inside, the afternoon of Sept. 23 at the La Jolla Art Association (LJAA) gallery, 8100 Paseo del Ocaso in La Jolla Shores.

Inside, 58-plus art patrons, each of whom paid $200 for a raffle ticket, were nervously fidgeting and wringing their hands hoping their raffle number would soon be called so that they could select one of 74 member-donated paintings — some worth over $2,000 — hanging on the gallery walls.

“This is our annual, major fundraising event for the Association, which is 99 years old this year,” explained LJAA president Mike Morse. “This year’s show is much more diverse in terms of the kinds of work and the styles of art displayed. There is everything from classic plein air landscapes to computer-generated geometric designs.”

Added volunteer Ingrid Wolters: “It is a labor of love, for all of us involved, to put on this event and keep the gallery going.

Hopefully, we will turn 100 next year!”

Photographer, volunteer and gallery-sitter Lisa Ross, who’s been making improvements to the showroom layouts, remarked, “We are very pleased with all the community support we’re getting. This event makes everyone happy: We get the support we need to continue and the

I

patrons get a really good deal on quality art.”

Longtime La Jolla resident Littleton Waller’s raffle ticket was No. 24. He chose a plein air landscape, “Warm Wind in San Pasqual,” by Stan Sowinsky, because “it reminded me of my grandfather, John K. Patterson. He was an artist and member of the LJAA in the 1940s,” Waller explained.

He added that as a youth he attended La Jolla High School and worked at the old snack bar at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). “I used to swim out to the end of Scripps Pier with oceanographer Walter Munk’s daughter, who was my friend. We would climb up the metal ladder at the end of the pier and jump off the railing. I wasn’t worried about getting in trouble because, after all, I was with the great Walter Munk’s daughter!”

The youngest person to purchase an auction ticket and claim a painting was Emma Welzel, 9, a fourth-grader at Vista Del Mar Elementary School in San Clemente. She came to the gallery with her mother, Sharon Welzel.

A budding artist herself, Emma picked the painting, “Pink Water Lilies,” by Margaret Keyser, because, “pink water lilies are my favorite flower!” She added that she will have work in her school show, titled

PHOTOS BY WILL BOWEN

Mathew and Mary Cantonis leave with three paintings “Within Reach.”

She said, “I’m going to make a drawing with colored pencils and markers about saving the planet Earth, which is still within our reach.”

An art patron, who wished to be known as, “The Sunday Coffee Shop Guy,” said for the last two years, after getting coffee at the nearby Brick & Bell on Sundays, he stops by LJAA gallery to see the exhibited works.

“From this auction, I chose a very nice plein air landscape, ‘Wilderness Path,’ by Jim Nix,” he said. “I don’t enjoy the high-pressure sales found at some galleries in The Village, so I come here. Everyone I’ve met at LJAA is really nice and has a positive attitude. They just want to help you find a painting you really want.”

Back again this year were Mary and Mathew Cantonis, who live down the street from the gallery. This year, they bought three raffle tickets and selected three paintings. “I chose one as a gift for my

mom, “Italian Village,” by Hugh Constant, and a silver leaf painting called ‘Shadow,’

by Catherine MacDonald McKechnie, for myself,” said Mary. Mathew chose the painting, “Tina’s Lighthouse.”

Blake Lawless, a retired engineer and executive from Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) was at the gallery with his wife, Bo. He chose a computer-generated painting by LJAA president Morse, “Pseudo Concentric Rings of Light,” because he said he liked all the detail. “I have one painting I’ve studied everyday for two years. I’m still finding new detail in it.”

One woman, who did not buy a raffle ticket, saved her $200 donation for the end of the auction, when she bought two of the 16 paintings left for more than $100 each.

LJAA secretary Rae Anne Marks said the remaining 14 paintings are priced at $100 each. To view them, contact Marks at rmarksart@gmail or (619) 252-9564.

After an eight-month search, Congregational Church of La Jolla, 1216 Cave St., welcomes Rev. Tim Seery as its new pastor.

The Montana native is settling into his new post and will preside over his first service 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 15, when the church welcomes the community to its annual Blessing of the Animals celebration.

A recent graduate of Harvard Divinity School, where he earned his master’s degree, Seery also holds a bachelor’s degree in Comparative Religion from Harvard University. He served as an assistant minister to two churches in the Boston area, and most recently, as a Chaplain at an assisted living residence. Seery said his call to ministry came early in life and he has been preaching since age 15, inspired by his childhood pastor.

A lifelong student of history, Seery said he is intrigued by Rev. Tim Seery Congregational Church of La Jolla’s rich heritage and distinction as the oldest faith community in La Jolla.

To relax, he said he enjoys collecting antiquarian books, reading about art and its history, and traveling through Asia and South America. To date, he has visited 35 countries.

Seery added that he hopes he can inspire his congregation to never quit learning, discovering, exploring and “putting themselves out there” to connect with others, create formative memories, and to go deeper with God. — Molly Bowman-Styles

One Woman’s Mission

Turning ‘7’ memories into memoirs for posterity

BY JEANNE RAWDIN ou could call it her mission, or you could call it her passion. Whatever you call it, Pacific Beach resident Patricia Benesh is determined to change the face of aging through her company, 7 Memories.

Benesh has written three books on the subject and started the company to get more senior citizens to turn their lives into legacies by writing down their personal stories.

Benesh started her writing crusade in the late ’90s, helping authors such as Thomas Steinbeck (John Steinbeck’s son) write manuscripts and articles. But it was the sudden death of her older brother in 2002 that sparked the idea for 7 Memories.

“In the last photo of him, he was holding the first great-grandbaby in our family,” she recalls. “I felt compelled to write the story of my parents for that great-grandchild. And now, I’m honoring my parents by following my passion — to help people turn their memories into memoirs before it’s too late.”

When asked why she chose “seven” as the “magic number” of memories, she explains, “It’s a workable number in terms of starting a memoir. The thought of writing a memoir can be daunting, but if you start with just seven memories, it becomes do-able.

“Plus, it requires you to decide on the significant experiences in your life, and that gives you focus and direction.”

Benesh uses “It’s About Time” as the program tagline, and with good reason.

“There does come a time when the window for capturing memories closes. So it’s critical to make that happen while it’s possible. I cannot stress that strongly enough. All of these amazing stories are lost to us unless we take the time to encourage and help older adults write down their stories. A memoir is a lifetime of experience and learning passed on to future generations. Otherwise, it’s a lifetime lost, like a library burning to the ground.”

Y

The ‘7 Memories’ trilogy of books Patricia Benesh, Ed.D her life with a new-found perspective. “I don’t know that I ever did anything spectacular, but I didn’t make many mistakes. I chose my friends well. I think that’s the secret to happiness. Writing my memoirs also made me realize things and think more. Gosh, I’ve gotten so old, you forget about your mom and dad and grandmother ... that’s one thing I liked writing about.”

Today, Strong is 97 years young. She still does yoga or Qi Gong five days a week and navigates the stairs to her second-floor home several times a day. “I’m not sure which is harder,” she says. “I think it might be the stairs.”

And when she looks back at her life, she has no regrets.

“I’ve had a good life. I’ve been one of the most fortunate people in the world. I count my blessings every day.”

Establishing Memoir Partners

Benesh is not only offering her program to seniors; she’s also teaching a class to young college students next semester at UC San Diego’s Life Course Scholars program. Using her “7 Memories” books, she’ll show students how to act as a guide for older adults to partner with them in the memoir-writing process.

For Benesh, it’s the beginning of a vision she sees extending far into the future. “I would love to have a legion of Memoir Partners whose mission is to capture the memories of older adults. I’d like to start it here in San Diego, then expand it to California and the United States. It would have a strong inter-generational component and national visibility, perhaps endorsed by AARP, with its own day of celebration. Memoirs galore!”

BJ Strong’s story

One of the seniors Benesh has worked with is BJ Strong, a Mission Beach resident who was 83 years old at the time she wrote her memoir. It tells the compelling story of her childhood on a farm in Nebraska with no electricity or running water, while attending a one-room schoolhouse until the eighth grade. Strong is most proud of being among the first female Marines in World War II, and is now a volunteer at the USS Midway Museum, where she regales visitors with her memories and autographs copies of her memoir.

Strong remembers how much she loved the writing process.

“At first I thought it was dumb to do it.

Why would my memories be important to anyone?” she recalls. “But then I realized it was really a different culture when I was a child. It changed so much, since I became an adult.”

The memoir helped Strong look back on

Although the photo is out-of-focus, it shows 97-year-old BJ Strong greeting a young visitor on the USS Midway Museum, interested in her memoirs.
