Super Moon ‘Beaver Moon’ over La Jolla, Nov. 14, 2016

GREG WIEST

his year, the full moons of October, November and December all take place when the moon is at its closest point of approach in its orbit around Earth — a so-called super moon. The November’s full Beaver Moon, reached the peak of its full phase the morning of Monday, Nov. 14, at 8:52 a.m. EST, but appeared full to the casual observer the day before and after the main event. It is the second of three consecutive super moon full moons for 2016. This full moon was not only the closest and brightest super moon of 2016, but also the largest since 1948. What’s more, the full moon won’t come this close to Earth again until Nov. 25, 2034, according to a statement from NASA on the website: space.com

BY ASHLEY MACKIN A developing plan to establish private security in Bird Rock could expand into the Village and all the way up to La Jolla Shores, depending on interest. Introduced at the Nov. 10 La Jolla Town Council meeting at the Rec Center, Ron Fineman of the organization La Jolla Safety said any neighborhood interested in signing up for the private patrol is invited to do so — but would need a minimum of 80 residents. The concept will also be presented at upcoming meetings of the La Jolla Shores Association and the La Jolla Village Merchants Association. “The purpose of La Jolla Safety is to use private security diminish crime in La Jolla,” Fineman said. “But La Jolla is a big community, and we need people to sign up, area by area. Since I live in Bird Rock, I started there. But if any group wants to get this going, we can start wherever the need is.” He added that 50 people have already signed up in the Bird Rock/Upper La Jolla Hermosa area, and La Jolla Safety is waiting for the remaining 30 before they hire the patrol force. An “area” for these purposes is clusters of approximately 1,500 homes, rather than a certain mile radius. SEE PRIVATE SECURITY, A14

Shores merchants rail against City construction timetable BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Nader Hamdan, owner of a vacation rental in the La Jolla Shores Business District faced City of San Diego senior engineer Steve Lindsay during the Nov. 9 meeting of the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) about the ongoing construction in the area. “I’m afraid that something is going to crack in the building, that’s how stressed out I am right now,” Hamdan said. On Nov. 7, area businesses staged a sit-in to protest the City’s lack of accountability during the infrastructure work along Avenida

de la Playa, which resumed Nov. 3 for the third consecutive year. “We’ve been cool for two years, just get it done, you can’t stop infrastructure. But now we are getting a little bit more sensitive,” said LJSA trustee Angie Preisendorfer. Lindsay promised the board that the main part of the “re-”construction will be done by Friday, Dec. 2. “Initially, we were going to repave everything and make everything look good, but to get out as soon as possible we are leaving Dec. 2, and then we can come back to that section anytime

beginning in January.” That comprises Phase 1 of a four-phase project that will have the streets of the Shores under construction for part of 2017. Phase 3 involves building protections on the storm drains uphill so debris and vegetation don’t easily enter the system. The City plans to use existing easements to “maintain” the existing infrastructure. “We are researching that, but there are environmental concerns, because the hilly areas are the pristine areas for wildlife, that’s where the SEE LA JOLLA SHORES, A9

Bird Rock resident disturbed by flight path changes BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN After 20 years living on Linda Rosa Avenue, a tidy, quiet street that runs parallel to the east side of La Jolla Boulevard, Beatriz Pardo was surprised to be awakened by a strange noise early one morning in late October. “I heard these sounds and wondered where they came from. Then, one morning I came out and I saw it, an airplane flying by!” The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making changes in flight paths nationwide to improve the flow of air traffic and cut fuel costs. In Southern California, as many as 99 flight paths will be modified to satellite-based procedures in 21 airfields, including the San Diego International Airport. Controversy began earlier this year when Point Loma residents organized to stop the change in eastbound departing flights, which were flying straight over the peninsula. The neighborhood outcry forced FAA to make some changes, and now the airplanes will check in two miles south of Point Loma. But no one expected Bird Rockers to notice any changes, and it seems not many of them have been bothered by the new flight paths. When Pardo brought up the issue at the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting Nov. 1, her noise complaints were met with surprise by neighbors. City Council representative Justin Garver, in attendance, said he received a voicemail from Pardo on the issue, but it was the first one. “Maybe people haven’t noticed because it hasn’t surfaced in their consciousness,” Pardo said, adding that she is awaken by passing flights every morning and hears them throughout the day. “When I first moved here, all you could hear was the sound of the waves at high tide.” Pardo explained that she likes to sleep with her windows open and sounds fly right in. “The other night, my mother and I were woken up by a helicopter,” she said. Helicopter and low-flying airplane noise is something other residents have complained about, including “Time to abate the La

Beatriz Pardo in her front patio in Bird Rock where now she can hear outgoing flights from San Diego International Airport at sunrise. Jolla helicopter nuisance” commentary published in La Jolla Light June 19, 2015. Pardo invited the Light to experience the noise from her home, and this reporter arrived at her house Nov. 4, before the 9 a.m. flight departures. The sound of planes was easily recognizable from her front patio and could be heard clearly. However, other areas in San Diego like Ocean Beach, South Park or Point Loma experience higher decibel levels with planes that fly directly over their homes, as opposed to the distant sound of an airplane flying over the ocean. Her nextdoor neighbor, Pardo explained, can hear the plane noise, too, but he’s not bothered by it. “Maybe I have very acute hearing, but if I wanted to live close the airport, I would have moved there,” she said. The FAA evaluated and responded to more than 4,000

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

public comments received during the 120-day public comment period according to its website. It also held 11 public workshops and states that the decision to implement the flight path changes is “final.” The website reads, “From coast to coast, we are upgrading the nation’s air traffic control system and improving the safety, efficiency, reliability and availability of air transportation in the United States. Modernization is needed because many of the air traffic procedures in Southern California are decades old. While they are all safe, some are inefficient because they rely on ground-based navigation aids, which limit available flight paths.” ■ Do you hear it?

ASHLEY MACKIN

On Election Night, City Councilmember-elect Barbara Bry addresses the San Diego Democratic Party at its headquarters in downtown San Diego.

Dozens of high school and college students celebrate the win with District 1 City Councilmember-elect Barbara Bry of La Jolla.

La Jolla Has a New City Council Rep

Barbara Bry wins District 1 seat, marks Election Night with supporters BY ASHLEY MACKIN Although she was the foreseeable winner of the San Diego City Council District 1 race, Democrat and La Jolla resident Barbara Bry spent every minute of Election Day campaigning — right up until the polls closed at 8 p.m. Nov. 8. Based out of a call center on Governor Drive, she and supporters canvassed the streets and made phone calls asking if District 1 constituents had voted (and in some cases, reminded them that polls closed at 8 p.m. and they still had time). And although she was running unopposed after opponent Ray Ellis dropped out of the run-off race in August, she kept a watchful eye on early voting percentages. After the polls closed, her campaign manager Hilary

Nemchik announced Bry had garnered more than 65 percent of the vote, and the council seat was hers. Following a brief celebration with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers “American Girl” playing in the background, Team Bry made their way to the San Diego Democratic Party Headquarters downtown at the Westin Hotel, 910 Broadway Circle. There, Bry addressed those in the room, “I know it’s a tough night for us nationally ... I was hoping I would be elected at the same time as our country elected its first (female) President. But there is good news in San Diego. We elected a lot of great Democratic leaders all over the County tonight, thanks to all of you,” she said.

SOLD – REPRESENTED BUYER LA JOLLA $2,600,000

To introduce herself and her efforts thus far, she added, “We ran a grassroots, volunteer-driven campaign with over 300 people volunteering. We almost won it outright in June, and in the early results tonight, we are at 68 percent. I want to get to City Hall and make sure we keep our communities safe, clean and prosperous. I’m an entrepreneur and I want to make local government more responsible and more accessible to all of you. I’m looking forward to getting there, finally, and thanks to all of you, it’s a reality.” Bry will replace termed-out, two-term District 1 City Council member (and president) Sherri Lightner of La Jolla Shores. Bry’s inauguration/term of office begins Monday, Dec. 12 at City Hall. Her term will expire in 2020.

‘Heart and Soul’ of the Campaign

Bry’s teen interns share thoughts on political efforts BY ASHLEY MACKIN When it came to getting City Councilmember-elect Barbara Bry into office, the campaign had what it calls “all stars” who helped outreach efforts — a team of high school and college student volunteers. Some signed on in the early days, and many were at campaign headquarters on election night to celebrate the win. “Encouraging young people to become civically engaged is important for the future of our community. I knew we needed to build a grassroots, volunteer-driven campaign to win this race, so we created a political fellowship program,” Bry said. “My team and I visited high school and college classrooms throughout District 1 and discussed volunteer opportunities with our campaign, but ultimately, it grew organically by word-of-mouth. We encouraged students to bring friends, and over the course of the campaign, our volunteer team expanded exponentially.” She added the students were the “heart and soul of our campaign” and she would continue her internship program at City Hall. For UCSD Political Science (focus on international relations) major Beryl Lewis, the Bry campaign was the first time she joined a political effort. She called it a learning experience for a possible future in public service. “I live in Carlsbad, and saw

the efforts against the One Paseo project. I knew I wanted to be a part of another grassroots campaign,” she said. “When Barbara came along, I thought she was a good candidate whom I could support and I wanted to be a part of her campaign.” Responsible for canvassing neighborhoods and making phone calls, Lewis said she learned the importance of in-person interactions. “I remember walking door-to-door and sometimes people would brush me off, but other times I would get to have really good conversations. I found some people neutral or undecided, or in some cases against (Barbara Bry) and I was able to make a difference and help her get elected,” she said. For Torrey Pines High School student Caroline Zhang, being a part of the campaign and watching Bry get elected gave her “a new appreciation for the democratic process.” As a result, she is considering a career in politics. “Government is where the change happens,” she said. “Maybe one day, down the road, I can be a part of making changes through public service.” She said she heard about the campaign through social media and saw it as a growth opportunity. “Before joining the campaign, talking on the phone was not something I was skilled at, but by making phone calls, I learned to communicate and really listen to

what people have to say. I watched Barbara interact with people, and she really listened to constituents’ concerns and what they cared about,” Zhang said. The 16-year-old joined the Bry camp in spring, and identified with Bry because of her science background. “I also have an interest in science,” Zhang said, “so it meant a lot to me that she is a strong supporter of women in science and politics, and I got to work on her campaign ... I would have been happy whether we won or lost, but it’s even better that on my first political campaign as an intern, she won!” Sydney Patchett, 17, said she has always had an interest in politics. “During Obama’s presidency I got really involved and educated myself on how government works, but I was so focused on the presidency, I have to admit, I was ignorant on the role and the importance of local government,” she said. “So when I had the chance to get some firsthand experience on a local campaign, I jumped at the chance.” She said among the things she learned, was the importance of endorsements and having a boots-on-the-ground approach. “I had no idea canvassing would be such an important part of campaigning and politics, but it provided an opportunity to have people’s voices be heard.” Patchett was unable to attend the election night celebration because she was

volunteering at a poll station. But she expects she will have another opportunity in the future. “So long as there is a candidate I support, I will absolutely volunteer on a future local campaign.” Unlike Lewis, Zhang and Patchett, Bishop’s graduate (now Stanford student) Lark Wang, served on a campaign before, but is “just exploring” her political interests. “I volunteered with the Scott Peters election campaign in 2012, and enjoyed that environment. The people on the Bry campaign were wonderful and invested in teaching the interns different lessons,” she said. But the City Council campaign was different for the 18-year-old because “I really care about City Council. A lot of people don’t realize how much the people we elect to City Council impact our day-to-day life.” Wang had to report to classes in September, so she was only able to intern over the summer. “I won’t ever forget the primary election, when Barbara almost won, because we saw that (rival candidate) Ray Ellis had raised so much more money and they projected Barbara would not even make it to November ... it reaffirmed for me how important it is to have good people around you. “If you build a good team, are committed to your platform and work hard, great things are possible.”

Merchants Association sits new board, plans for holidays

COURTESY

A rendering of one of the five design choices available for sponsorship during the holiday banner program.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN December will be a busy month for the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA). Having sat nine new board members during its Nov. 9 meeting at La Jolla Riford Library, the board will next hold a strategic planning meeting to discuss the upcoming year, and oversee the installation of Village holiday decorations. At the opening of the November meeting, LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune swore in seven of the 10 newly elected members: Laurnie Durisoe, Xochitl Cerda, Carla Parra, Lori Bolton, Alisha Frank, Jamie Dickerson and Tiffany Phillips. Billy Borja was not in attendance, and Krista Baroudi and James Niebling were re-elected and did not need swearing-in. James Niebling of Esteban Interiors was elected LJVMA president and will succeed Claude Anthony Marengo. Brett Murphy was elected vice-president, Baroudi as secretary, and newcomer Dickerson (who has already been assisting LJVMA with new business openings) as treasurer.

g n i t s i L w Ne

“At our strategic planning meeting in December we will determine the projects the board will pursue in 2017,” Niebling said. “It’s where we come together as a group, talk about opportunities in La Jolla, what our ideas are and what we want to accomplish. Then we pare that down to three or four big ideas that we will work on throughout the year. We’ll set goals that will filter into those initiatives. “Following the meet-the-candidates meeting we had, I think there are some great ideas and contributions here. There are varied skill sets that are going to set us up for a great year.” Following the strategic planning meeting, some LJVMA trustees will be appointed to La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation and Planned District Ordinance advisory boards. With Murphy migrating to the vice-president role, a new block captain chair will also be appointed. Also in December, the board will host its third annual Festival of Lights contest. “In the last few years, we’ve challenged businesses in different categories (small retail, large retail, office, hotel, small restaurant, large restaurant, etc.) to seasonally decorate their windows. People had the chance to vote for their favorites on social media. We’re looking to do that again, with some changes,” Fortune said. Chiefly, the addition of photography. Niebling explained, “The challenge for some businesses is that they don’t have windows to dress or decorate. So this year, if someone wants to take a picture of something that

Permitters OK plans for new home on Soledad Avenue Agree City can sell vacant Rutgers Road lot

construction going to be coordinated with city traffic?” Golba replied that once the basement is excavated, construction will be staged from the lot, and digging out the lower level will take a week. A motion to approve the project passed 5-0-1.

Rutgers Road Street Vacation

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A project to build a 3,225-square-foot, two-story single-family residence with a basement at 1421 Soledad Ave. received approval from La Jolla Development Permit Review committee (DPR) during its Nov. 8 meeting. Applicant Tim Golba presented plans for a home that include a basement with a garage at the street level of Al Bahr Drive. The easement granting the next-door neighbor access to a rear garage would be left untouched, while the new house turns its back to it, and opens up to the front side of the lot (Soledad Avenue) where a yard and a dining deck will be built. The proposed building’s Floor Area Ratio (FAR) — its size upon the lot total — is 0.47 where a 0.57 is allowed, said Golba. The construction materials to be used are stone

The City’s request to vacate (give up for public purchase) a lot acquired in 1957 — with the intention of building a road there to connect Cass Street and Rutgers Road — received the DPR’s OK after two previous DPR presentations and one at La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B). The parcel sits half in Pacific Beach and half in La Jolla. At the urging of DPR members, the City’s request was sent to LJP&B to find out if the community had any desire to turn one of the only empty public spaces left in the vicinity into a park. After LJP&B turned down the option (citing the hilly terrain), the request went back to the permitters who gave the City their approval to sell it. Because the lot straddles two communities, trustee Angeles Liera suggested it might be difficult to sell, so she recommended the City consider adjusting the community line “to follow public rights of way.” The change was added to the approving motion, which passed 5-0-1. If the City agrees, the community line dividing the lot in two will be set back north, and the property will only sit in Pacific Beach. The Pacific Beach Planning

The project also features photovoltaic panels on the roof that will decrease the household’s energy consumption. A roof deck (with no proposed construction on it) was included. The maximum height of the building will be 29.6 feet, but Golba said the home will appear to be only 22 feet tall. “It’s almost disingenuous to call it a 29-foot-tall building, because it’s really only 22 feet up

on the pedestal,” he said, referring to the natural slope of the lot. In its second and final presentation before DPR, the project didn’t present much controversy. However, a comment about construction staging was offered by trustee Diane Kane. “It occurs to me that you have a house under construction across the street, and the nearby La Jolla View Reservoir is going to go under construction, and you’re going to be in construction, so how is this

LA JOLLA LIGHT - NOVEMBER 17, 2016 - PAGE A9

FROM LA JOLLA SHORES, A1

A woman walks her dog at the vacant lot between La Jolla and Pacific Beach that the City of San Diego hopes to sell. Association has already approved the City’s request for a street vacation. At a previous meeting it was said that a resident adjacent to the property expressed an interest in buying it from the City.

Webb Residence

Applicant Brian Will presented for preliminary review a project to partially demolish and remodel a home at 5192 Chelsea St. The plan is to undertake the project under the remodeling exception, which allows applicants to avoid the community review process, but as Will explained, the inclusion of a pool triggered the site development permit and coastal development permit, “And here we are.” The remodeling process brings a “non-conforming” status to the home, which was built when a higher FAR was permitted in the area.

To achieve the remodeling exception, applicants must preserve 51 percent of the original structure. The committee asked Will to provide a drawing highlighting the parts of the structure that would be retained during the remodel. Other board requests for the applicant to consider were: ways to include windows on the sides of the house; opening the side yards (or a window) for public views from the street to the ocean; photographs of the side yards; a rendering showing the ocean, bluff, pool and house; having the top 3 feet of the gate visually open; providing a landscape plan; providing a materials sample board; and providing a corrected geotechnical report. The application was then tabled to a later meeting. — DPR next meets 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

breeding happens, birds are nested there, there’s environmental concerns,” Lindsay explained. The goal of Phase 2 and Phase 4 is to install a baffle box on Avenida de la Playa that will divert some of the contaminants during smaller storm events and low flow. That part of the project, Lindsay said, can extend into the summer moratorium (Memorial Day-Labor Day) because it will be done in a La Jolla Shores Drive median. Business owner Hamdan, who owns the Las Casitas rental on Avenida de la Playa, said he had received calls from tenants who reported banging and shaking on the walls. “I have people cancelling left and right, I have lost thousands of dollars … this is a disaster for me, just so you know what I’m facing.”

In other Shores Board news

■ Boardwalk talk: Following the Nov. 3 front page story in La Jolla Light, “Trustees advocate for Shores boardwalk replacement,” LJSA members expressed their desire for action to keep the momentum going. Chair Nick LeBeouf read a communication he received from San Diego Park & Rec manager Dan Daneri indicating the boardwalk had been assessed in 2003 and was given low priority because it was in “good shape overall.” He added that another assessment will be performed by the City later this year. “Maintenance is done in an as-needed basis; the Park & Rec Department has repaired cracks and deviations from time to time,” LeBeouf continued. Trustee Mary Coakley-Munk, president of

Friends of La Jolla Shores, introduced the idea of making the boardwalk an educational infrastructure, which could help raise awareness and open certain funding sources. “California State Coastal Conservancy will get involved in something like that if it’s educational. We could work with Birch Aquarium and Scripps Institution of Oceanography and figure out something for kids and adults to learn. There are lots of things that can be done,” she said. Board members welcomed the idea. Because The Shores boardwalk was hit by the higher El Nino tides last winter, that presented a worry for board members interested in the improvement project. Daneri’s communication stated, “No one knows if it’s built to withstand the King tides, but it held up structurally last year.” But Munk countered, “How high do we want that wall to be? At some point it’s going to be useless anyway.” Trustees volunteered to form a subcommittee dedicated to the boardwalk renewal project to keep wheels turning. ■ Beach lockers: Trustee Izzy Tihanyi said a series of robberies occurred in the Kellogg Park parking lot. “Surfers are being preyed upon. This has always happened, but now it’s getting worse because everybody has an electric car key,” she said. Tihanyi proposed that the board study the possibility of installing lockers as a safe space where beach-goers can lock up their keys and other valuables before hitting the surf. — LJSA next meets 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Martin Johnston House, 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org

Village Holiday Open House returns Nov. 20

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Twelve Girard Avenue businesses will open their doors to start the holiday shopping season from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20. During the Open House event, participating merchants will deck their halls and provide food and refreshments, music, book signings, gift ideas and more. As an added bonus for shopping locally, 10 percent of sales will be donated to area charities. The participating merchants include: Adelaide’s, Bendls, Cos Bar, Bower’s Jewelers, Geppetto’s Toys, Girard Gourmet, Meanley & Sons Ace Hardware, Muttropolis, Rangoni Firenze, Warwick’s and more (look for green and gold balloons). Adelaide’s owner Jerry Parent explained that the event has been taking place for decades. “We and other merchants, with not traditionally holiday stores, decorate and transform our stores, and each does a little something different to celebrate. We completely redecorate, so Adelaide’s looks different than it would any other day of the year, and other stores offer treats and festivities,” he said. Throughout the day, strolling carolers will roam the streets, and elves from the California Ballet will be posted in front of businesses. Meet-and-greet opportunities with the Man in Red himself (Santa Claus) will take place in front of Geppetto’s from 10:30 a.m. to noon, followed by a storytime with Santa 12:15-1:15 p.m. at Warwick’s, and then another meet-and-greet 1:30-3 p.m. at Adelaide’s. In between, from 11 to 11:30 a.m., the La Jolla Country Day School Madrigals will sing in front of Adelaide’s. Representatives from the Marine Corps will also have stations to collect gifts for the Toys for Tots program. “This is something that people have been coming to for a long time — from La Jolla and across the County — and it’s always so exciting to see hundreds of people roaming the streets,” Parent said. “It’s a fun family event, and we see people, the very old and the very young, come to see everything. It’s great.”

FROM PRIVATE SECURITY, A1 Motivated by personal experience, Fineman said the interest in hiring private security comes from crimes in Bird Rock. “I’ve only lived in La Jolla for two years and I lived in Los Angeles for 20 years before that, but I have experienced more theft in my two short years here, than I did in LA,” he said. Once the minimum number of participants is reached, Fineman said patrol would begin with four or five random hours, so would-be criminals would not learn to expect a patrol officer certain times a day, in certain areas. Lance Ruiz, COO of Security First (the firm likely to be hired) said these officers would have similar duties to San Diego police officers. “We would provide an armed patrol officer and a marked security unit, based on community demands, which could mean responses to domestic violence situations, noise complaints due to loud parties, vacation checks on houses when participants are out of town, security assessments on houses to check for vulnerabilities or just the presence of an officer to deter criminal activity,” he told La Jolla Light. As an example of the customized service, he said one patrol area the firm covers has a high transient population, so his officers walk the streets to encourage transients to go elsewhere. Said Fineman, “We’re hoping to get the cost down to $50 a month, but in the beginning, it would probably be between $50 and $100 a month. If we had 1,000 participants, we could get it way down.” He added that La Jolla Safety is finalizing its non-profit status and as such, can host fundraisers to establish a seed fund. Fineman also said La Jolla Safety is ready to sign a contract with Security First. “We’re really impressed with them and what they have to offer. They stepped up and sent a free patrol car on Halloween to help the off-duty officers in Bird Rock,” he said. Security First

has a fleet of 100 cars. The firm was selected after several months of interviews. At previous Bird Rock Community Council meetings, representatives from National Public Safety presented, but they were ultimately deemed “not a good fit” for La Jolla. Fineman began his efforts in June.

In other La Jolla Town Council news:

■ New trustee: Following a motion by trustee Joe Pitrofsky, a motion to seat new trustee and real estate agent Cindy McGowan passed unanimously. She will be sworn in at the next meeting. ■ Future meetings: President Ann Kerr Bache said the next three meetings would each have a specific topic. In December, LJTC will focus on the contentious issue of short-term vacation rentals. Legislative updates and regulations will be discussed. In January, a State of La Jolla forum with members from each community advisory group talking about what they do, will be offered. Newly elected District 1 (La Jolla) City Council member Barbara Bry has been invited to share her goals. In February, the focus will be on homelessness. ■ Toni Atkins in the house: California State Senator-elect Toni Atkins arrived to explain the issues that are going to be forefront with the State legislature: water and drought, funding education (jump started by the passage of Prop 55), affordable housing and homelessness. She also advocated for updating community plans where appropriate so localities can control where new housing goes. “We need to find a way to be (productive) without giving up a community’s way to control its own destiny. You’ve got to incentivize a community to update the community plan,” she said. — La Jolla Town Council next meets 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollatowncouncil.org

‘Tote’-ally Yours

Single-use plastic bag ban now in effect BY ASHLEY MACKIN Unlike other new laws that will go into effect Jan. 1, 2017, California’s ban on single-use plastic bags — approved Nov. 8 with the passage of Proposition 67 — is now the rule. Immediately following the election, when the proposition passed at just over 52 percent, California became the first state to ban single-use plastic bags. Now grocery, department, drug, liquor and convenience stores that typically send their customers out the door with purchased items in plastic bags, are prohibited from providing the bags, but can sell recycled paper bags and reusable bags for a charge of at least 10 cents. The revenue from these sales go to the stores, and can be used three different ways: to cover costs associated with complying with Proposition 67, to cover the costs of providing the recycled paper or reusable bags, or to provide educational materials encouraging the use of reusable bags. To further incentivize shoppers to use reusable bags, some stores are offering a 5-cent discount on purchases when customers bring in their own bags. Locally, the San Diego City Council voted 6-3 to ban single-use plastic bags citywide in July, with City Council President and District 1 representative Sherri Lightner leading the charge. At that time, she reported only 3 percent of the 500 million single-use plastic bags distributed annually in San Diego were recycled, with the bulk ending up in the trash or as pollution. Of the statewide ban, Lightner said, “I am pleased that the voters of California demonstrated their commitment to protecting the environment by reducing plastic bag usage. San Diego recently became the 150th municipality in California to adopt a plastic bag reduction ordinance, and I

Home Expressions by JDR grants child’s wish for dream bathroom makeover

Theresa with the JDR team in her new wheelchair-accessible bathroom

FROM JACKSON DESIGN & REMODELING REPORTS Like many girls her age, 9-year-old Theresa enjoys all things that sparkle, and her favorite colors are pink and purple. Unlike most of her peers, Theresa is dealing with a life-threatening genetic disorder that has left her wheelchair dependent. After her diagnosis, Theresa was referred to Make-A-Wish San Diego to receive her one true wish. Because Theresa has such limited mobility, her favorite part of the day is relaxing in a warm shower. Unfortunately, the family’s existing bathroom was not wheelchair accessible. The luxury of a warm shower (something many of us take for granted) was a daily challenge. Theresa’s father had to maneuver her out of the wheelchair through the narrow space into the bathtub each day, a difficult process for both of them, and often anything but relaxing. With all of this in mind, the perfect wish for Theresa was to have a dream bathroom makeover. Make-A-Wish contacted the Home Expressions by JDR team, who agreed to help. After visiting Theresa and her family to see their bathroom and discuss her needs, the team was inspired to create a bathroom for Theresa that would not only provide accessibility, but also bring her joy. A wider doorway, a roll-in shower to accommodate her wheelchair, and several handheld showerheads would make the new space functional and safe, and a beautiful design with her favorite colors would make it perfect. Her new bathroom now features glimmering metallic stars on the ceiling, polka dots on the floor and a shower wall that resembles coastal driftwood. The floor’s pebbled

texture and delicate slope are both practical and artistically tranquil, a new space dedicated to surrounding her with beauty and style, while providing a peaceful setting. Home Expressions CEO Todd Jackson said this project was a team effort made possible with support from generous community partners and friends, including TOTO, Rohl, Invisia, Kohler, Benjamin Moore, San Diego Marble and Tile, La Mesa Electronics, GPS Plumbing, Hofstee Drywall, RG Tile, GM Adkins, Construction Support Services, J. Munoz Concrete, Welter Electric & Solar, Dave Wilson Flooring and Greg Rodriguez. “We are so thankful to our incredible partners and friends in the industry who stepped up to help us make Theresa’s wish come true,” Jackson said. “We are huge supporters of the Make-A-Wish organization and we’ve been hoping for the opportunity to work with them. When they called us about Theresa’s bathroom, we enthusiastically agreed to help. We hope this new space makes each day a little brighter for Theresa.” ■ For more information about Make-A-Wish San Diego, visit sandiego.wish.org or call (858) 707-9474. ■ Home Expressions by JDR offers design and build remodeling services for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas of the home that don’t require structural or architectural changes.

La Jolla Addiction Healing Center can ‘C’ you well

COURTESY

Kamran Zafar, founder/CEO of La Jolla Addiction Healing Center

BY DAVID L. CODDON La Jolla Addiction Healing Center’s approach to treatment, at least in part, is alphabetical. Founder and CEO Kamran Zafar, California Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (CAADAC), Ph.D., cites the “Three C’s: Catch it. Challenge it. Change it.” “I use these in my treatment program because every action starts with a thought,” said Zafar, who six years ago moved his outpatient healing center to La Jolla after eight previous years in Rancho Santa Fe. “More than 8,000 thoughts a day go through our brains.” The “Three C’s” are in line with the cognitive approach to therapy practiced by Zafar and about a half-dozen colleagues at the healing center. “We look at what the individual’s belief system was, and ask what kind of program we can put together to show the person a new way of living.” It’s about mindfulness, Zafar says. The other approach to therapy at La Jolla Addiction Healing Center is spiritual, developing as Zafar explains, “the freedom to not let everything get to you. You’re not here alone. There is a higher power, a

spirituality that makes you want to stay sober because you’re happy with yourself and you believe in something greater than you.” The center treats individuals with issues ranging from drug and alcohol addictions to PTSD, OCD, depression, grief management and more. Clients are treated in individual therapy session, in group sessions or both, depending on the person’s needs. The center’s group program, for example, lasts two months, with participants meeting three times a week for three hours each time. “Individually,” said Zafar, “it really depends on the need of the person. Sometimes they come two or three times, even five times a week.” The healing center is more than a business to Zafar, who feels personally invested. He is in recovery himself: “Drugs and alcohol were the only friends I had,” he recalled, “and (they) almost killed me.” In addition, he and his wife, Kiyan Yazdani-Zafar, oversee the nonprofit CyMo Foundation, whose mission is “to spread awareness of the rising abuse of prescription drugs” among San Diego’s youth. The Foundation is named for Kiyan’s son, Cyrus Moinzadeh, who succumbed to an overdose

of OxyContin at age 23. While the Foundation takes up the task of education, La Jolla Healing Center focuses on treatment — treatment of the whole person, not just treatment of the addiction. For now, the environment remains strictly an outpatient one. “I personally went through inpatient a long time ago,” said Zafar, “and some people do need that, but the problem is that it gives you a false sense of security that everything is great. Then all the challenges you faced when you went in are waiting for you again when you come out.” There is follow-up after a person finishes a program. “We encourage them to come back once a week for after-care, to sit down and talk to us and with other group members and talk about the challenges they’re facing and how they are coping with them.” Challenges.

ASHLEY MACKIN

La Jolla Cove swimmer Dan Simonelli (speaking) shares his experiences with the increasing sea lion population at La Jolla Cove.

Town Council vs. Sea Lions: ‘Call for Action’ sent to Mayor BY ASHLEY MACKIN Fed up with the City’s idleness in dispersing the burgeoning sea lion population at La Jolla Cove for the past two years, the La Jolla Sea Lion Task Force (started under the auspices of La Jolla Town Council) issued a “Call for Action,” with members requesting that the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) be appointed as the organization to draft and execute a removal plan. Posted on lajollatowncouncil.org for about two weeks, the Call for Action petition garnered more than 1,500 signatures. At a special Sea Lion Task Force meeting Nov. 10 at the Rec Center, Town Council president Ann Kerr Bache said the petition was delivered to City Hall Nov. 3 by e-mail and certified letter, but representatives from Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s office have not yet confirmed receipt. “We want to develop an action plan (for sea lion removal) … but there is no point in us doing anything until we get the Mayor’s authorization and designation (to be the party of action),” Kerr Bache said. “So we have not gotten into discussions on exactly what we’re going to do next. We’re waiting for the Mayor to step up to the plate (and provide us with some direction).” Task Force member Debbie Beacham said a local organization should design and propose the plan to remove the sea lions, based on the findings of the recent Doyle Hanan & Associates report on the sea lions at La Jolla Cove (paid for by the City) and with actions approved by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). “If we get this recognition from the City, we could gain control of the problem within our community,” she said. Task Force member Dan Simonelli added, “A lot of us, divers and swimmers, have had great experiences with sea lions over the years (and could lend first-hand knowledge). But as their numbers increase, they have created this public health and safety problem. It’s not just an inconvenience. There are increasing issues with interactions between humans and sea lions we need to address.” The petition tackles the sea lion population in two phases. For Phase 1, “LJTC is willing and able to propose and execute a City-funded contract to plan the project in detail by analyzing the options, developing an implementation plan, and scheduling and developing cost estimates. The La Jolla community has many experts in all relevant

areas, so the Town Council would execute this contract by creating and managing a team including subcontracted and pro bono experts. If and when requested (formally or informally), LJTC will submit a proposal for this project.” For Phase 2, which focuses on executing the plan, “Implementation of the plan will require some number of material and construction vendors. It will also require continuing input from the subcontracted and pro bono experts involved the Phase 1. The LJTC is able to manage this under a contract from the City, should that be helpful. Also, long-term sustainment of the solution is much more practical and cost-effective with extensive use of pro bono experts. The La Jolla community is very rich such resources, so the LJTC could organize and manage this part of the effort. Finally, given a City commitment to solve this problem in a sustained way, LJTC is confident it can raise substantial amounts of donated money to offset or reduce the needed input of taxpayer funding.” Although unsure of what the plan would ultimately be, Kerr Bache said, “We are being very careful in considering the law of unintended consequences. We’re not rushing into anything. We just know the sea lion removal plan has to be sustainable and longterm.” The Call for Action is one of the a few steps LJTC has taken to attempt to find a solution to the sea lion problem as it developed. In June and July, LJTC held public forums to gather ideas, called “Crisis at The Cove” hearings. The Task Force formed following those hearings consists of divers, swimmers, La Jolla residents and members of community advisory groups. “The Sea Lion Task Force has representation from all of La Jolla’s community groups, including Parks & Beaches, La Jolla Village Merchants Association, La Jolla Shores Association and more, so it’s not just a La Jolla Town Council effort. This is a community effort,” Kerr Bache said. “The purpose of the Call for Action is to get Mayor Faulconer to do something and … we’re trying to build our voices. To advance this, we must flood the Mayor’s office with phone calls letting him know La Jollans want this to happen.” Mayor Faulconer’s office can be reached at (619) 236-6330 or e-mail kevinfaulconer@sandiego.gov

To salute those who served ... Our Boeing Stearman, along with Bob Simon’s, participated in the Veteran’s Day memorial flyover at Mount Soledad on Nov. 11. — Bill Allen

Script for a future tour bus driver “We are now turning off of Prospect Place, which is comparable to the Boston ‘Big Dig’ because its construction never ends and nobody seems to know why, and heading down to the waterfront, which used to be called ‘The Jewel of La Jolla.’ Forgive the bumps, but this street hasn’t been paved for years. If you have handkerchiefs or face masks, I suggest you put them on now, because we are going to stop and visit the birds and sea lions where you can take pictures. If you look up the hill to the left, those beautiful empty buildings used to be occupied by some our most famous restaurants and shops, but they all closed because their customers complained so much about the smell. There is an interesting anecdote about the rotting, unpainted fence you see here with the chicken wire sticking out. Rather than fixing it, the City had to pay about $300,000 to children who were injured by the wires based primarily on the City knowing about it and doing nothing. As we proceed further down the street, you can see this lovely cove and beach that was once used for snorkeling by swimming clubs, swimming competitions, locals and tourists, as well. But since nothing was ever done about the sea lions, the water is too fouled for anyone to swim there anymore. Not too long ago, a new lifeguard station was built here, but the lifeguards were driven out by smells and fumes, and I understand sea lions are living in it now. On the other hand, you may be surprised and pleased to know that we have very strict regulations for dogs in this area, which strangely don’t seem to present any problems at all. As we pass the park itself, you can see that it is still in good condition. This next cove was named The Children’s Pool, but ironically it is barred to children and others most of the year. Now we come to our most famous landmark. They started building this lifeguard station when I was a boy. The reason it has become a landmark is because it is has taken longer to build than the Empire State Building, which is 102 stories (1,454 feet) and was completed in a little over a year. Since this will be our last stop in La Jolla, you may walk out to the viewing platform to watch the seals, but only if you have had your tetanus shots. The railing is too rusted and dangerous to

Recent focus has been on the “how” of displacing and discouraging the sea lions into abandoning their habitat at La Jolla Cove. That focus seems not to have even recognized — or at best ignored — two preliminary threshold questions that deserve attention and resolution before any displacement measures are considered or commence: 1) Where would the displaced sea lions likely relocate if displaced from The Cove? 2) Would their forced relocation from The Cove cause them to establish new habitats at the closest and most familiar adjacent areas the densely populated residential areas at Coast Boulevard, WindanSea and La Jolla Shores neighborhoods and beaches. Merely shifting the problem from The Cove business impact area onto adjacent areas is not an acceptable alternative. Common sense suggests that no actions to displace the sea lions should be considered unless there has been credible scientific study and expert advice as to the displacement consequences, and whether the data indicates that displacement will not pose a likely risk of shifting the habitats and associated detriment and negative impact and economic consequences from The Cove to other La Jolla residents and beaches.

La Jolla continues to lag behind the times Kudos to Dan Goese for his sensational letter explaining the need for a DecoBike facility in the San Diego community of La Jolla. Our community continues to be the only community in San Diego without a DecoBike facility and with a faith-based named December event, a Christmas Parade. Aren’t we exclusive! Howard G. Singer

Construction fiasco in Shores calls for firings What has occurred and is still occurring in La Jolla Shores as reported on the front page of the Nov. 10 Light is more than a disgrace. It is local government run amok! It is unaccountable bureaucrats in the bowels of City Hall giving the finger salute to hardworking citizens/businessfolk with impunity. Where has our District 1 City Councilmember been while this travesty has unfolded over the last three years? Where is the Mayor whose campaign line was “Neighborhoods First”? When will those responsible for this fiasco be fired? Will our new District 1 Councilmember (who takes office in just a few weeks) take the actions necessary to put these non-performers on the unemployment line? We citizens have to stop accepting unacceptable performance from our City Hall minions! Failure should not be an option any longer! Lou Cumming

Time to take out Muirlands Drive traffic choker High school track should Since the traffic choker has proven to be be open to community ineffective, why not remove it? The shadow

from the tree across the street makes it almost impossible to see, and there have been numerous mishaps since it was installed two years ago. West Muirlands Drive is too narrow to handle this obstacle. If the idea is to protect students, then a push-button light system like those used successfully in Del Mar, would be the answer — and used only rarely, so motorists would not be hampered the other 23 hours a day. The choker also adds traffic in front of La Jolla High School, as many drivers prefer to go that way rather than risk car damage by hitting the choker. The new humps will give the residents some relief by slowing things down. Just remember that after dark, the headlights in the cars going over humps while coming towards you hit you in the eyes. Tom Sprague

Nice article on local martial arts teacher Thanks for the great “People In Your Neighborhood” article on Terry Sanchez in the Nov. 10 issue. He has been a force for good in our neighborhood for almost 50 years. He has been a friend and teacher to thousands of men, women and children over the years, and is one of the positive pillars of the community.

I was very disappointed after reading that La Jolla High School decided to close its track and sports field to the public. Obesity is a serious problem in this country and I would like to know why the school thinks it is best to take away positive and healthy opportunities for its community? I understand that district funds paid for improvements to the athletic facilities and that they aren’t required to open the track to the public, but I’m wondering if they realize that taxpayers’ money also helps fund these projects. Deb Beaver stated that the school doesn’t have to allow public access and instead may rent the track and field. This is the same school that asked its community for donations throughout the years. It reeks of exclusivity and double standards. Why should anyone support a school that is using their community’s generosity and keeping them from staying active and healthy. Jon Row

Knights, Vikings, Torreys sign Letters of Intent 25 student-athletes commit to colleges at Balboa Park ceremony BY ASHLEY MACKIN uring a celebration held at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park, 25 student-athletes from La Jolla schools signed Letters of Intent, the morning of Nov. 9. With their signature, the students accepted an athletic scholarship and committed to the college that offered it, while hundreds of supporters watched and cheered. As part of the procession, students were called on stage (by school) to introduce themselves, announce the college to which they were committing, and naming the sport they’ll play there. All high school sports were recognized, except for boys and girls soccer, football and boys water polo. A separate signing event will acknowledge these sports and players in February.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Walter D. ‘Grampa’ Hofmann, MD December 18, 1927 - November 7, 2016

La JoLLa — on Monday, November 7, 2016, Dr. Walter David Hofmann peacefully passed away surrounded by family members in his La Jolla duplex. His daily practice of sitting on his back porch bench made him a familiar fixture to neighbors and passersby. He was six weeks shy of his 89th birthday. His children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren were his constant source of pride. He preferred the name, “Grampa.” Dr. Hofmann was a father of seven, grandfather of 14, and great-grandfather of five. He was known as an engaging man who could light up a room with his gregarious nature. He was a husband of 22 years to Dorothy Dunn Hofmann, who preceded him in death. She was the mother of their seven children. He later married Diana Bober, and they were married for 15 years. When asked his secret to a success, his answer was simple: “Wake up each morning and decide to have a great day!” It was his firm belief that one’s positive attitude, and faith in the goodness of God,

was at the core of a happy and healthy life. He received his undergraduate pre-med diploma from Pacific Union College in 1949 where he was Class President. In June he married the class vice-president and still his sweetie, Dorothy June Dunn. He received his medical school training from Loma Linda University in 1953. To help pay for med school, he enlisted as a Captain in the Navy to support the U.S. effort in the Korean Conflict. He served as a Flight Surgeon on deck of the USS Forrestal aircraft Carrier. a Soledad Memorial plaque, spearheaded by one of his sons-in-law, Dr. Peter Nordland, honors his Navy Service in the Korean Conflict. It was one of his most treasured recognitions. In 1956, he completed his psychiatric residency at ohio State University and Harding Hospital in Worthington, ohio. In 1960, Dr. Hofmann moved his family of five to Glendale, Ca, where he set up his first private practice, Hofmann Clinic. as a psychiatrist for more than 40 years in Glendale,

Ca, he was a professional listener, problem solver and healer. He had a hopeful spirit that taught people to confront their own demons and seek healing – often leaning on a Higher Power – to guide their way to the best life. He embodied a life filled with quirky humor and uncommon solutions. From mainstream religions to New age alternatives, he personally immersed himself in ideologies to better understand this world and himself. He was a man of possibilities, and encouraged others with his words and actions to never settle for a simple, “No” when, “Yes,” or “Let’s try another way,” was a better answer. as a retired La Jolla resident for several decades, Dr. Hofmann was active in many local causes – social, political and spiritual. He was a student of religion. He was a member, worshipper and friend at several local churches, including La Jolla Presbyterian, La Jolla Lutheran, La Jolla Methodist, La Jolla Community, Tierrasanta Seventh-day adventist, and the Pacific Beach Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Volunteer interests included the San Diego County Grand Jury where he focused on the challenges facing the homeless population, the San Diego County Crisis Team, Grunion Greeters, the San Diego Natural History Museum, and many others. a prolific writer, he was a frequent contributor to the La Jolla Light, penning

a column under the pseudonym, Dr. Hermes. Dr. Hofmann is survived by all seven children who were the light of his life. They are: Sherry Rincon of Redding, Ca, Judy Hofmann Sanders of Shadow Hills, Ca, Kathleen Nordland of La Jolla, Walter Hofmann II of Santa Barbara, Ca, Larry Hofmann of Colorado Springs, Co, Gary Hofmann of Redding, Ca, and Cynthia Dickinson of Corona del Mar, Ca. He is also survived by three of the original eight siblings, Hedy Dunford of atlanta, Ga, Emma Gilbertson of Sparks, NV, and Erwin Hofmann of Gardnerville, NV; and dozens of in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends from around the world. In his final years, each of his seven children shared in acting as his estate executor. In his final days each one travelled from near and far to reconnect and attend to the aging needs of their Father. His legacy remains in the lives of those he leaves on earth, and now he is busy building the Hofmann clan’s next home in heaven. Better make it a big one, Grampa! Wir lieben dich. (We love you.) Memorial services will be held on Saturday, December 17, 2016, at 2 pm at La Jolla Lutheran Church, 7111 La Jolla Blvd, La Jolla, Ca 92037. Reception to follow at the Nordland home. Friends and family are invited. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) FROM LETTERS, A26 Building Trades and organized labor, from the fan groups to the volunteers who helped us collect more than 110,000 signatures and knock on more than 50,000 doors. Every member of the Chargers organization will be forever grateful for your tremendous help and steadfast support. This has been a long campaign, and I’m sure we all want to put aside stadium talk for a while and focus on the rest of the Chargers’ season. Our team, with its mix of veteran leaders and young stars, has played some of the most exciting football in the NFL so far, and I can’t wait to see how we do throughout the rest of the season. Our players have shown great heart and resilience in the NFL’s toughest division. I’m eager — as I’m sure you all are — to give the stadium debate a rest and enjoy some Chargers football. So I’m going to put aside any discussion of our possible next steps until after the season, to allow everyone to focus on football and to give my family and me time to think carefully about what is best for the future of our franchise. Over the coming weeks you may hear news about steps that we must take to preserve all of our options. But please know that I don’t intend to make any decisions until after the regular season ends and that, in the meantime, I hope to enjoy with you one great Chargers game after another. Dean Spanos

Barbara Bry thanks supporters, volunteers There was no better feeling than celebrating our victory on Election Night at our campaign headquarters with our many committed volunteers. Throughout the day, our office was humming with activity. I know that making phone calls, dropping door hangers and conducting poll checks up until the last minute helped to ensure that we earned the support of as many District 1 residents as possible. I am honored to have been selected by District 1 voters as the representative for our community on the City Council. I am also grateful to all of the volunteers that were the heart and soul of our campaign. Due to their relentless efforts, we have held almost 70 neighborhood coffees and knocked on the doors of almost 40,000 voters — as the residents of D1 can attest to more than once. Having seen the power of collective, grassroots action, I want to bring this sense of urgency and accessibility to City Hall by holding community office hours and continuing to hold neighborhood coffees and knock on doors. I look forward to working with community members, my Council colleagues and the Mayor to tackle the challenges we face as a City. I am deeply humbled by this opportunity to serve my community in a new way, and I promise to every day get out of bed laser-focused on how we can keep our neighborhoods safe, clean and prosperous. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who helped along the way, I couldn’t have done this without you. Barbara Bry

We thought readers might enjoy our creative art display of the ‘Trash Man at Casa Beach’ (pictured). On Nov. 6, the Seal Society of San Diego’s Beach Cleaning spruced up South Casa Beach and the nearby cliffs and walkways, removing bags of trash and debris. The volunteers came up with some interesting finds, such as men’s pants, a chef’s shirt, a nurse’s nameplate, a devil rubber ducky, and a comb, among cigarette butts and rubber shoes ... of course, lots of plastic in many forms, as well. Feeling creative, they made ‘Trash Man’ to humorously display what visitors leave. The only thing Trash Man needed was his Ray-Ban sunglasses! — Ellen Shively

BY ASHLEY MACKIN AND MARIA JOSE DURAN The proposed Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) for the Village of La Jolla was approved by those within the district by mail ballot last week and ratified Tuesday, Nov. 15 by the San Diego City Council. With the approval, assessments will be collected from residents and businesses within the MAD on property tax bills starting in December 2017. Increased maintenance will begin in 2018. The funds will also be used for the implementation of capital projects. The MAD will be managed by Enhance La Jolla, a non-profit supported by La Jolla Community Foundation. Enhance La Jolla consultant Joe LaCava explained that the City sent out about 1,300 weighted ballots and received about 600 back, but actual numbers were still being finalized as of the Light’s press deadline. The ballot posed two questions: whether voters wanted a MAD and whether they wanted it to be locally run or managed by the City. Of the ballots returned, the MAD was approved by 56 percent, and local control was approved by 85 percent. “This is a good day and we feel we got some very good news,” LaCava said. Mark Dibella, head of the Enhance La Jolla steering committee, said, “I could not be happier for the future of the Village of La Jolla and the community’s decision to support a much-needed MAD. This is a catalyst to creating a Village that will own up to its potential for locals and visitors alike.” Enhance La Jolla supporter Nancy Warwick added, “This is truly the most exciting program that has happened in the Village of La Jolla in my lifetime. There was nothing that could really improve things without this kind of community funding and support. There will be a resurgence of pride in La Jolla as a Village, and overtime it will be a much more enjoyable place for the residents.” Dibella explained that the vote culminates 18 months of hard work. “The MAD provided a great opportunity to pull together community organizations, residents and everyone with a vested interest in the future of The Village. I’m now extremely happy to see that the overwhelming support got it to

fruition.” From here, the Enhance La Jolla board (comprised of residential and commercial property owners, representatives from the Community Foundation and others) will likely also collect donations for capital projects and plan for services to be rendered once maintenance fees are available in 2018. “In 2017, we will get the best contracts and put together the best plan to make the Village even more beautiful and well maintained,” Dibella said. According to the Enhance La Jolla website, all meetings focusing on the expenditure of property owner assessments will be open to the public for comments on the agenda. Services provided will be based on projections of cost, funds received through the MAD, and property owner needs. La Jolla’s MAD could include capital projects such as new and upgraded trash cans, benches, enhanced signage, traffic calming projects, park improvements, La Jolla Rec Center improvements, tree canopies and public art. Ongoing maintenance projects could include landscaping, street and sidewalk cleaning, litter and graffiti abatement, and additional trash collection. Leading up the ballot distribution, representatives from Enhance La Jolla presented their plans to La Jolla’s various community advisory groups, garnering almost unanimous approval. At the City Council meeting, Council President and La Jolla resident Sherri Lightner thanked the Enhance La Jolla committee and “the many other community members who put time and effort into the formation of the MAD.” “This was not an easy process and it was not quick,” Lightner said. “The committee engaged in considerable outreach, but I firmly believe the formation of a MAD should be a community-driven process. Enhance La Jolla has exceeded my expectations (in how) they worked carefully with community advisory groups. I’m pleased to see the community has voted for the MAD formation. They will see increased services that will contribute to a cleaner, safer, more attractive environment.” More at enhancelajolla.org

Meet Patricia McGill, La Jolla Woman’s Club house manager BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series shines a spotlight on notable locals we all wish we knew more about! Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar, friendly faces to bring you their stories. If you know someone you’d like us to profile, send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call us at (858) 875-5950.

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

How did you meet your husband?

“He tapped me on the shoulder and asked me who I was in Vermilion Ohio, at a summer resort. I was with a friend, and we were waiting in line to go into a restaurant. The next week I got a phone call where I worked, and he asked me out to dinner, and that was it.”

pon meeting Patricia McGill, house manager at the La Jolla Woman’s Club (LJWC), what stands out most are her directness, poise and hearty laugh. This 74-year-old hails from Cleveland, Ohio, and has lived in La Jolla for 18 years. She volunteered to manage the Irvin Gill-designed building that is the LJWC’s headquarters, and for the last four years, it’s been available to rent for weddings.

How long have you been together?

“We have been married for 48 years. We have six kids, 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, who are twin boys.”

How did you end up in La Jolla?

“From Ohio, my husband found a job in a small town in Michigan. We were there in the mid-1960s until the ’70s, when we were transferred to San Diego. We lived in North County for 13 years, and then we were transferred to Mobile Alabama, Palo Alto and Los Angeles. My husband retired and we always knew we wanted to move to La Jolla. So it took a while to find a house in the Barber Tract, which is a fun place to live.”

How did you come to join the Woman’s Club leadership?

“In our lives, we moved 13 times. We’ve remodeled five homes, built one, and I like that kind of thing, I’m happy in a hardware

recognize who we are and why we are here. We have a shopping event, and we have our speaker series, which has been terrific, and we have a lot of new members coming in because of it.”

What’s the secret behind your beautiful white hair?

Patricia McGill in the side yard at La Jolla Woman’s Club store. I had to do a lot of things on my own because my husband was gone a lot. If I couldn’t use a hammer and a screwdriver, and deal with contractors, I needed to step up and do that. One day, I was on the floor doing yoga here at La Jolla Woman’s Club and looking at the stained ceilings; everything needed paint, and I wanted to do something about this. When the job for House Director became open, I raised my

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

hand and it really suits me.”

What do you like about this position?

“It’s a really nice environment. We have people coming in the building who have lived In La Jolla all their lives and who have never stepped foot on this property, which is stunning to me. So opening up the doors for more public events that are free makes a huge difference in getting people to

“It’s genetics. My mother, my aunts, my grandmother, my father, all have grey-white hair, it just happens. My daughters couldn’t be caught dead with it (laughs) but I just made up my mind a long time ago that it would be a battle that I would never win, and so I just let it happen.”

Do you have a favorite color?

“Green. I’ve always liked green because it’s an inside/outside color. I don’t like to wear it, but I like to be surrounded by it.”

What do you do for fun? “Travel, travel, travel.”

La Jolla artist’s retrospective provides quiet moments at Halloween Bash

MAURICE HEWITT

La Jollan Christine Forester, at the entrance to her late husband’s exhibit.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The pre-Halloween “Art After Dark” event at Oceanside Museum of Art on Oct. 28 was full of eye-popping surprises. For starters, there was a 30-foot airplane parked outside, courtesy of artist Dustin Otterbach. Inside, mixing with hundreds of costumed guests and nonstop DJ music, there were burlesque and flash-mob dancers, trapeze artists, and “Beauties Beasts,” a pop-up sideshow of pinup paintings by Olivia De Berardinis and sculpted monsters by Jordu Schell. For quieter contemplation, and a complete change of pace, there was also “The Art of Russell Forester” (1920-2002) — architect, painter, sculptor and longtime La Jollan. Born in Idaho, Forester lived in La Jolla from the age of five. His mother was a librarian at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and he started out as a draftsman for noted modernist Lloyd Ruocco, designing barges and depots during World War II. He and his first wife, Eleanor, met while working for Ruocco; his first office as an architect was at 633 Pearl Street, and his commissions included homes for SEE HALLOWEEN BASH, B18

How to be a professional listiclist

La Jolla Cultural Partners

his is going to sound like sour grapes, but it seems more and more that online media has jettisoned articles requiring actual writing skills in favor of “listicles” or articles that begin with a number: 7 steps to better cardiac health. 5 reasons your daughter-in-law hates you. 10 ways to improve your sex life. 15 signs he’s cheating. 12 best stew recipes ever. Even television has largely foresworn well-scripted shows for reality TV fare scraping an ever deepening barrel (Pervy Guys Who Spawn Large Families, Dancing with Forgotten Child Stars, Survivor 57: Fresno.) For those of us in the writing world, trying to sell material that doesn’t start with a number is getting ever more problematical. While listicles are prime fodder for Internet sites, even print media has jumped on this bandwagon. This, of course, is because people read them, and therefore advertisers place ads near them. OK, I confess that I read some of them, too. The titles are just too enticing not to. But I can’t help but notice that listicles are usually just some really basic information that is already well known, or far more dismaying, sometimes just plain wrong. For example, I couldn’t resist a listcle titled

“7 kitchen hacks that will change your life.” First of all, may I note that seven seems to be a particularly favorite number for listicles. I guess three would hardly be worth your time, and 12 might be more energy than you want to invest. Hack No. 2 of the 7 Kitchen Hacks was that if you put a wooden spoon over a pot, it will not boil over. That was an idea that truly could change my life, and also my cleaning lady’s. So that night, I put my pasta in a pot of boiling water, set the wooden spoon across it as directed, and went to check my e-mail. I came back five minutes later to find that the pot had boiled over all over my stove (AND the wooden spoon.) So popular are listicles, you (generic you, not me) can actually make a living writing them. All you need is a catchy title (anything involving sex and relationships is a sure winner), add recycled and/or bogus content and voila! You are now a professional listiclist. While waiting in line at the pharmacy the other day, I was trying to think up some listicles I would write if my column gig falls through. Here are some I think would be quick sells: • 30 surprising facts about celebrities you’ve never heard of • 10 signs that you’re getting older (aside from the fact you just celebrated your 80th

birthday) • 3 facts about birth control you should have told your teenage son before he became a father • 7 cat breeds most likely to cough up fur balls • 10 ways to retire with a million dollars (that are mostly legal) • 20 delicious recipes using ingredients not found in the Western Hemisphere but listed in New York Times Magazine recipes anyway • 15 facts about entitlement that will serve you well as a state or federal government employee • The 6 most annoying people you’ll ever meet, and why 5 of them are parents on your son’s soccer team • 10 reasons relationships fail (other than that they were doomed from the start) • 7 ways to substitute chocolate for kale in vegetarian recipes [no assertions are being made for taste] • 6 tips for finding the best fares to Cleveland • 15 Halloween costumes perfect for super kinky adults who are totally over the naughty nurse thing • 8 reasons why grief makes you sad • 9 reasons why texting and tweeting should be allowed during class time, especially if the class is like, totally lame • 5 hot sex tips for homo sapiens, and also older people • 12 facts about cockroach infestations that everyone who lives over a restaurant should know • 4 myths about root canal surgery • 11 creative uses for dust bunnies • 15 benefits of Vitamin E recycled from questionable internet sites and not

INGA

The wooden spoon didn’t prevent pasta from boiling over on the stove. substantiated by medical science but which you will believe anyway. • 9 hints to becoming a Nobel Laureate even if you haven’t gone to high school • 8 health tips from your grandmother that are actually terrible • 6 secrets only pet dentists know • 30 ways to lose 20 pounds in 10 days • 5 facts about topics that no one really cares about • 7 kitchen hacks that only sorta work Speaking of which, turns out that the wooden spoon hack does work up to a point — so long as the surface of your wooden spoon remains under 100 degrees (C). Let it get too hot (or use a metal spoon) and you’ll get what I got. A giganto mess. As successful as I think I could be as a listiclist, I think I’m going to stick with my column job. And watching my pasta as it boils. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Students tour Research Vessel Sally Ride La Jolla High class visits new oceanography ship

BY DAVID JAMES Students in Dave James’ marine science classes at La Jolla High had the opportunity Oct. 30 for a private tour of the state-of-the-art oceanography Research Vessel (RV) Sally Ride. “I really got a sense for what life with a career of studying marine biology would be like,” said senior Jamie Becker. The field trip was timely because the students had just finished a unit where they researched different technology used by oceanographers. They learned about satellite oceanography, remotely operated vehicles

(ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), SCUBA diving gear and diving suits, as well as research vessels. The tour of R/V Sally Ride was a real treat because Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) associate director Bruce Applegate (who is responsible for ship operations and marine technical support) gave the tour. Applegate walked the students through the ship, showing them the wet lab where samples are worked up, and the data control center with 16 monitors that show live data being collected. They also toured the bridge, saw

crew and scientist living accommodations, and spent time on the main deck working area where various sampling equipment will be put in the water. The R/V Sally Ride is owned by the U.S. Navy and operated by SIO at UC San Diego. This 238-foot-long ship is outfitted with the latest technological capabilities, can carry 24 scientists on up to 40-day missions, and supports interdisciplinary research across the oceans. Research from the ship will help scientists learn more about changing ocean conditions, such as global climate change, study the seafloor, and help assess the status

of marine fisheries. In addition to providing a hands-on experience and inspiring students to follow different scientific careers, the trip provided a wonderful motivation for young women to pursue science and math because R/V Sally Ride was named after the first American woman in space, who was also a member of the UCSD physics faculty. “The data that marine biologists are able to acquire on these highly advanced vessels is mind blowing and I’m so happy I got to learn more about it!” said junior Catherine McBee.

We are right on track and we hope to reach our goal of raising at least $100,000.” Since 1984, St. Germaine Children’s Charity has contributed more than $4 million to the fight against child abuse.

How to Weave a Painting

The Loft to showcase La Jolla artist’s work BY WILL BOWEN If you look at the recent series of paintings by La Jolla artist Mohan Sundaresan collectively titled “Woven Paintings,” from afar, they seem like regular geometrically-oriented works made with a brush and deep rich colors. However, if you get real close and examine each carefully, you realize they are actually woven together with undulating painted canvas strips!

Sundaresan, who drips paint on his canvases and then uses his hands and fingers to spread it, makes two separate paintings. Next, he cuts them both up along snake-like lines and weaves them together, much like how a basket is made, to create a “third” painting. But two additional processes are also involved; first, the artist’s intention and inspiration behind each of the two paintings, and then the chance factor of how they will merge and interact.

Thanksgiving Blessings! May God’s abundant blessings fill your hearts and homes with a rich harvest of grateful praise.

“Nobody has ever done this before,” touts Sundaresan. “The world famous neuroscientist/psychiatrist Arnold Mandell, who founded the Department of Psychiatry at UCSD School of Medicine, said that my work was, ‘The closest thing to Einstein’s Theory of Random Order that I have ever seen.’ ” Mandell met and befriended Sundaresan when the painter was a handyman for the downtown La Jolla building where Mandell

lives. He calls Sundaresan’s paintings “powerful,” adding, “They induce in me strong feelings, which defy rational analysis.” A series of Sundaresan’s wovens are on view in the gallery of The Loft night club on the second floor of Price Center East on UC San Diego campus. The show went up on Nov. 1 and will remain on display 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday-Friday, until Dec. 1. The Loft exhibits are curated by Brian Ross, who came

The artist Mohan Sundaresan at work in La Jolla up with the name “The Loft” when he worked under Martin Wollesen at ArtPower! Not long ago, The Loft separated from ArtPower! and is now administrated by University Centers, for whom Ross works. Ross said it was a bit of serendipity that brought Sundaresan to The Loft. “The regular monthly Loft artist who was scheduled, canceled out at the last minute. Steve Medoff, Sundaresan’s agent, heard about it and contacted The Loft and sent us some of his pictures. Kellie Chea, the student in charge of programming the Loft Art Gallery, liked what she saw and invited Sundaresan in,” he explained. Chea said, “Mohan’s technique is something I personally haven’t seen before; anyone who takes a look at his work will be mesmerized by it. There is definitely a vibrant and unique energy that his work projects that fits seamlessly with the vibe at The Loft.” In addition to the works at The Loft, a painting by Sundaresan, titled “One,” hangs in the Jeff Mitchum Gallery in La Jolla, and one of his woven paintings is at the T-Short Gallery on Columbia Street in Little Italy. He also has plans for a show at The Great Hall at the International House on campus after the first of the year. Sundaresan said his technique of weaving two paintings together was the result of a frustrating day two years ago. Dismayed, and thinking no one was interested in his work, in a fit of rage he cut up two of his paintings, one horizontally and the other vertically. But instead of throwing the pieces in the trash, he began to weave the horizontal

strips together with the vertical strips and ended up creating an entirely new painting. “That’s just like Mohan,” chuckled his agent, Medoff. “He is constantly being creative. He lives and breathes art. Just like a modern day Picasso, every moment of his life is about art and developing new directions and new techniques. That’s why I have stuck with him so long.” After weaving two paintings together, Sundaresan puts a layer of Clear Coat on the final product, so people can touch his paintings. “I want them to touch them because when they do, it is like they are giving me a blessing,” he said. Sundaresan sometimes muses that one of the two paintings he weaves represents his good side and the other his bad. The final painting is act of integration. He also speculates that the sphere which appears in many of his woven pieces is a gem that represents the special gem that each and every one of us really are. For one of his latest pieces Sundaresan switched from canvas to cowhide. Two pieces of painted cowhide, which were made to look like alligator and python skin, were woven together to form a painting which he calls “Charm.” Contemplating it, Sundaresan joked, “Maybe I don’t belong in any regular art gallery, but rather in some exotic galactic zoo!” Gallery or zoo, through deliberate action or chance factors, Sundaresan seems destined to weave his way to greatness! ■ ON THE WEB: For further information, visit mohanlajolla.com or theloft.ucsd.edu

trends & events Nobel Laureate Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn – Guest Speaker at La Jolla Woman’s Club La Jolla Woman’s Club & La Jolla Woman’s Club Foundation are proud to host The Women in Leadership Speaker Series. Please join us Wednesday, November 30th from 5:30-7:30 PM with Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, Nobel Laureate and President of the Salk Institute. Elizabeth Blackburn, Ph.D., won the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine in 2009 for discovering the molecular nature of telomeres and co-discovering telomerase, both of which are thought to play central roles in aging and diseases such as cancer. She has served as faculty at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco and currently serves as the President of the Salk Institute. She has had an abiding commitment to public service in the scientific, academic, and public policy arenas. It is our aim and objective to reach out to the community to provide insightful ways for women to attain their highest potential. We hope you will join us as we learn from the experiences of this and future speakers. This complimentary event is open to men and women and will be held at the clubhouse, 7791 Draper Avenue La Jolla. Light appetizers and a cash bar. Please RSVP to president@lajollawomansclub.com or 858-255-0337. This event is part of a broader effort by the LJWC to expand its community offerings, especially those focused on important aspects of home, health, and career. While the Club has in the recent past been more of a social club, it began in 1894 as a group of forward thinking, politically active women including famed San Diego benefactor, Ms. Ellen Browning Scripps. To reestablish that core focus and address the concerns of the modern woman, we are reaching out to recruit new members and offer value to the community. We hold our next general meeting December 5th at 11:30, as part of our monthly meetings with speakers and entertainment centered on the arts, home, and career. Open to members of the community, we provide Silver Sage Yoga Wednesdays at 3:00PM with instructor Carolyn Boline.

Let’s Review

‘Arrival’ premiere wows UCSD BY WILL BOWEN There was excitement in the air on Nov. 7 at Atkinson Auditorium in the Qualcomm Institute at UC San Diego for the world premiere of the science fiction film, “Arrival,” released in theaters Nov. 11. The sold-out crowd was anxious to find their seats. Paramount Pictures, which owns the rights to the film, allowed it to be screened as a benefit for the Clarion Science Fiction Writers Workshop, held on campus for six weeks every summer. Austere-looking Secret Service-type guards were posted at the entrances to make sure no one filmed or photographed the film. In the audience were sci-fi fans, teachers and students, including this year’s Clarion workshop students of Ted Chiang, a 1989 Clarion graduate himself, who wrote the short story, “Story of Your Life,” upon which “Arrival” is based. Chiang has won four Hugo Awards, four Nebula Awards and four Locus Awards. He is also the recipient of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer and the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award. The film turned out to more than satisfy everyone’s hopes and expectations. It is a wonderful, visually beautiful, musically intriguing, dreamlike tale about the interaction of a small group of scientists, headed up by linguistics professor Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) and theoretical physicist Dr. Gary Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), and U.S. Army employees lead by

Colonel Weber, (Forest Whitaker). Banks, Donnelly and Weber are one of 12 groups around the world in a race to communicate with the aliens who have landed in multiple spots, to find out why they are here and if they intend any harm. Screenwriter Eric Heisserer did an excellent job of enhancing Chiang’s short story, creating a movie that is, at once, a sci-fi thriller, a romance, and a tearjerker mom/daughter yarn with the a lesson about humanity’s need for improved communication and understanding. Director Denis Villeneuve makes use of overcast dark days and blurred backgrounds, with a back-and-forth flow of current time — Dr. Banks investigating the aliens — juxtaposed with Bank’s memories of situations with her daughter, which grow in vividness due to Bank’s acquisition of the alien’s circular time language Hepatod B. All is spiced-up by her growing romance with Dr. Donnelley. The aliens are an advanced race of seven-foot-tall squid-like creatures that have seven arms/legs that they can glide along with or fold up against their sides. They have 10 eyes, a mouth under their legs for eating, and an orifice on top of their head for breathing and speaking. They arrive in 1,500-foot-long, black, shell-shaped ships that hover in place 40 feet above the ground. Every 18 hours, a door on the bottom of their ships opens and humans can climb up a long, rock tunnel to a SEE ARRIVAL, B20

The BEST of La Jolla Investing in the Village, the La Jolla Sports Club As we close out our second year of residency in this amazing place that we call La Jolla; my wife and I reflect on all that we have put in to our business and how lucky we are to see our community give back to us with positive support. We listened to our members and have improved our facility with LED lighting throughout the facility, expanding the workout floor, adding equipment, 7 times purified water dispenser, art display, painting, cleaning, other minor upgrades and most importantly being present to handle issues that arise. Recently, we added a new aspect of our club that is state of the art by teaming up with the number Cryotherapy facility in San Diego County, Chiltonic. Our goal is to continue to keep our members healthy and assist them in recovery. When you can’t get a workout in or have an arthritis flare up, try a 3 minute session and feel the inflammation and pain reduce amongst many other benefits. This week; we are remodeling our large studio and bringing in our new cycling bikes for an improved all around, balanced workout experience. We will continue to invest in our business and improve our facility to live up to the high standards of the jewel by the Sea. We are constantly reminded by our members, and now friends, that they appreciate us just as we appreciate them. If you see us out on the town and ask us how we are doing, we will always have the same answer as humble and honest as we can be “living the dream.” Thank you La Jolla, the more that we put in to you, the more we feel in return.

Codebreaker’s nephew has insights on real Alan Turing

WALT MEYER

Sir Dermot Turing, nephew of famed WWII code-breaker Alan Turing, addresses an audience Oct. 28 at Scripps Research Institute.

BY WALTER MEYER Sir Dermot Turing spoke at a special event Friday, Oct. 28 in the auditorium at The Scripps Research Institute about the life of his famous uncle, Alan Turing, the British codebreaker who was the subject of the 2014 movie “The Imitation Game,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Joanna Davies, founder, president and CEO of the San Diego Biomedical Research Institute (SDBRI) introduced the guest speaker by saying she had known Dermot a long time — they had been undergrads together. She continued, “Dermot is the ideal person to be talking about his famous uncle, Alan Turing, not only because he has access to family archives, documents, and letters being a family member of course, but he wrote his book ‘Prof, Alan Turing Decoded.’ He approaches it with a charming sensitivity that this great man’s life deserves, but he is also a scientist—he has a Ph.D. in genetics. He has done a fabulous job of translating the complexities of mathematics and the early computer science to the lay person. He is also inherently a historian what you see is the depth that allows us to better understand the work of Alan Turing in the context of the time then and now.” Sir Dermot also did a question-and-answer session Oct. 27 following a screening of “The Imitation Game” at the Landmark Theaters in Hillcrest in an event that was presented by the SDBRI with promotional assistance from Lambda Archives, San Diego’s LGBT historical research center. Alan Turing is a hero and a martyr to the gay community. After using his math skills to design the forerunner of the German Enigma code during World War II, in 1952, he was prosecuted for gross indecency for his homosexuality and in 1954 committed suicide, many believe due to the persecution he suffered. Sir Dermot said, “He would never have wanted to be remembered for being prosecuted, I think what he would have wanted to be remembered for what he contributed to the body of knowledge and it’s quite nice to see some of that less well-known work sort of come to the fore.” In his remarks both days, Sir Dermot made it clear “The Imitation Game” should not be seen as history as he pointed out the many inaccuracies of the film. He said he could enjoy the movie as a good drama as long as he didn’t worry about the facts and he is glad the movie shone light on his uncle’s work. Besides just being, “a gay icon, people are rediscovering his theories,” one of which was confirmed in 2014; Alan Turing’s name is showing up in citations in scientific journals again.

FROM ARRIVAL, B12 viewing room where the aliens will appear behind a silicon screen in the midst of clouds and fog, for brief encounters with humans. The aliens have a spoken language of buzzes and rumblings, but it’s not related to their highly advanced written language, which they emit as a black vapor from their four-fingered hands, much like a squid releases ink. The aliens write with a complex circular script that looks like a wreath. Commented Professor Sheldon Brown, Director of Arthur Clarke Center for Human Imagination, “The script resembles Chinese Yes Paintings.” The alien writings are quite different from human script in that they can be read backwards or forwards, like the word Hannah, which is the name Dr. Banks gave her daughter, who dies of cancer at age 25. Learning the language allows one to see time differently, a fulfillment of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, which supposes the language we speak and think in structures how we view reality. In Chiang’s short story, the aliens end up leaving Earth abruptly without sharing much

of their selves. Screenwriter Heisserer brings in the idea that the aliens are here to give humans the gift of their language, which will improve world communication and bring us all together in peace. The aliens give this gift hoping for reciprocity because they have seen the future and observed that in 3,000 years they are going to need our help.

After the screening

Chiang came to the stage for a panel

discussion with Brown and Shelley Streeby, an ethnic studies professor with an interest in popular culture and sci-fi. Brown thanked Patrick Coleman, the Clarke Center’s new program manager, for coming up with idea for bringing the movie to UCSD. Chiang then discussed his involvement with the Clarion Workshop in 1989, calling it, “a life-changing experience ... and one of the foremost ways of becoming a writer.” He added that he was fortunate to have his story selected to be made into a movie and praised screenwriter Heisserer for his passion for the project. “The story is basically about thinking ... I’m very happy with the film and the choice of Amy Adams as lead star. People should see the film multiple times — each time you will see more things.” After the panel, Chiang obliged a long line of well-wishers by signing books and movie posters. ■ Want to know more? I found the movie highly recommendable, a “two thumbs up.” Chiang’s book “Stories of Your Life and Others,” is available at the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore, 5943 Balboa Ave.

FROM ALAN TURING, B14 Sir Dermot said he finds it criminal the way his uncle was treated by society and the courts once his homosexuality was known, and further finds it unfair that although Alan was granted a posthumous pardon by the Queen in 2013, the effort to pardon the 49,000 other people who were prosecuted under the same indecency law in the U.K. has hit snags in Parliament. The movie took its title from a paper Alan Turing wrote shortly after finishing his undergraduate work at Cambridge, speculating whether a machine could ever think like a human—or imitate the way a human thinks. The term “Turing Test” is still applied to the standard by which the artificial intelligence of a machine is judged. In the 1930s, Alan Turing created an algorithm that would allow for machines to play chess, long before there was a machine capable of doing so. He kept up a lifelong correspondence with the mother of Christopher Morcom, his best friend from childhood who died young, but was probably the first love of Alan’s life. He wrote her long letters about his research into trying to program a machine to play the Japanese game “Go.” As with chess, getting a machine to play the game and getting one to actually master it to a point that it could beat a human was another thing. It was only in the last year, building on Alan’s work, that scientists created a program that enables a machine to best a human at Go. Of course the computation machines available to the scientists today are a bit more advanced that the ones Alan Turing had at his disposal. The one he was using in 1946 had 1024 bits—not bytes, bits—of memory which in the days of terabytes seems ridiculous, but the British government was so impressed with the size and power of that machine they questioned if the entire country would ever even need a second computer. Sir Dermot said he is proud and pleased that his uncle is one of the giants on whose shoulders modern scientists stand and is finally receiving due credit for his work.

Master’s students stage a stylish ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’ BY DIANA SAENGER The Old Globe Theatre continues to captivate audiences with its brilliant executions of Shakespeare’s classics, bringing in top talent to star and direct. Now through Nov. 20, you can see another fine example in “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” directed by Richard Seer with firstand second-year MFA students in the University of San Diego’s Shiley Graduate Theatre Program. For this production, Seer chose to take the gentlemen in a slightly different direction. “There’s a wonderful innocence about this play that I like a lot,” he explained. “I made a concerted effort to capture it by setting the show in 1910, with Verona a kind of Denver or St. Louis — Midwest Americana. I got the idea because this is Shakespeare’s earliest play. As a young man he wrote about his experiences with material later used in ‘Twelfth Night,’ ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘As You Like It.’ ” “ ‘Two Gents’ is a coming-of-age story about two guys learning how the world, love and women work. I set it in 1910 because I knew about eight years later, the United States would go through World War I. By choosing sometime just prior to that — when women were fighting for the right to vote and the young nation saw endless possibilities — it seemed like the right time to place this production. Our sound designer found wonderful music to include that’s upbeat. “The play starts with the two guys talking about one of them going to college, but instead it’s off to the big city to live with Duke Malan. This is his chance to see and learn about the world. The other gent stays in the small town to be with the girl he’s fallen in love with. They both come to learn about adulthood, commitment and friendship, and what matters most in one’s life. In discussing the cast Seer explained, “the students go through a rigorous audition process … we choose them from all over the country and the world. After a year within the program, the second-year actors are really showing terrific chops in their approaches to Shakespeare. It’s more

sophisticated and nuanced, and they play most of the leads. “We have a new 3-minute promotional film about our program where (Globe Artistic Director) Barry Edelstein talks about advanced training, classical in particular. He is an expert on it and spent most of his career training actors. He says if you can do this kind of work, you can do any work. That’s been my experience for young NICK ABADILLA actors. Richard Seer directs ‘The Two “Jim Parsons (Sheldon Gentlemen of Verona,’ for The Old Cooper in “The Big Globe and University of San Diego Bang Theory”) is a Shiley Graduate Theatre Program. graduate of our program and he’s been interviewed about how strange it must have been to have classical training when he is now a sitcom and movie actor. But with acting, it helps if you understand what the operatives are in a sentence and what words to stress to give it meaning and make the joke. Parsons does something that seems wildly different on television, but he relates it very closely to the work he did here. I’m most proud of the vast majority of our students who now have professional careers. That’s not easy and I can attest to that. It’s all about doing different things — voiceovers, commercials, TV soaps, films and more.” Seer said older patrons will enjoy this show in a nostalgic way, reliving the dramatic aspects of the times when they,

Asparagus and Mushroom Strudel

Themed Thanksgiving Shindigs to share

ired of preparing the same old Thanksgiving meal year after year? Become an intrepid culinary trailblazer and borrow global recipes to celebrate family, friends and football.

■ Southern Comfort Faves: Southern cuisine is a blend of gustatory influences from the Emerald Isle, Scotland, Africa, France, England and Native American tribes. Start with warm buttermilk biscuits drizzled with orange blossom honey and fresh herbs with a heap of turnip greens or poke salad on the side. For the main attraction do the bird deep-fried (no one claimed this was a healthy cuisine), or pan-fried in cut portions, barbecued or breaded and baked to a golden crunch. Or roast a ham with a mustard-bourbon glaze. Some authentic sides include cornbread dressing with rhubarb, sweet potato pie, creamed collard greens, sautéed fiddleheads or okra, and creamy shrimp grits. For sweet Southern endings, a chocolate bourbon pecan pie or warm peach cobbler topped with whipped cream would surely hit the spot. ■ An Italian Carnival: In Italy, turkey is

not embraced by the cuisine, whether it’s because the fowls are hard to come by in those parts, or ovens are small and can’t accommodate the behemoth bird. Why not prepare a succulent (and manageable) turkey breast, seasoned with porcini mushroom-infused olive oil and garlic, and stuffed with fennel sausage or spinach, pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. A rack of herb-crusted lamb would be another option. Start the digestive juices flowing with an elegant antipasti platter of marinated vegetables, cheeses, prosciutto and salami, spicy seafood bruschetta, fried sage leaves and baked olives, all washed down with a glass of chilled house vino. Or serve a butternut squash or mushroom stuffed tortellini or ravioli, chestnut or pumpkin risotto, roasted rosemary fingerlings or zucchini to accompany the main course. And for just desserts a traditional tiramisu, chocolate chestnut torte, or fresh berries drizzled with a warm balsamic glaze and scoop of gelato for a taste of dolce vita! ■ California Cornucopia: Local foods include olives, fennel, figs, artichokes, almonds, avocados, asparagus, oranges, lemons, stone fruits and several varieties of

■ Ingredients: 2 sheets Artisan puff pastry 1-pound fresh asparagus, trimmed, cut in 1-inch pieces 1/2 pound assorted mushrooms, your choice 1 1/2 tablespoons ghee butter or virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons white wine 1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped 2 shallots, minced

1 garlic clove, minced 1 beaten egg mixed with 1-tablespoon cold water (egg wash) ■ Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a skillet, heat butter or oil on low, sauté asparagus until al dente. Add shallots, garlic, mushrooms, wine, parsley and seasonings. Continue cooking on low until tender. Strain liquid and reserve. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and carefully place the puff pastry layer on the pan. Spread asparagus mixture evenly on the pastry, and drizzle with reserved liquid. Place the second sheet of pastry on top, pinching edges to close any gaps. Make three slits with a sharp knife. Brush with egg wash and bake 20 minutes or until golden. Slice and enjoy hot or chilled. rice and grapes (which translates to wine), and fresh catches of Sockeye and Coho salmon, Dungeness crab and wild-caught shrimp. Dishes apropos to the region include pan-fried crab cakes with zippy remoulade sauce, roasted fennel and blood orange salad, robust seafood cioppino (Northern Cal), assorted stuffings and dressings incorporating wild and brown rices or sourdough bread (also Northern Cal), almonds, dried apricots, figs and cranberries, along with a whole grilled fish or almond-encrusted salmon fillets. A Meyer

lemon meringue pie, stone fruit trifle or platter of fresh seasonal fruits would end the meal on a blissful note. ■ Football Feast: Serve a variety of tailgating fare with a Thanksgiving twist from assorted root chips and dips (pumpkin sour cream, goat cheese with seasonal herbs), spicy turkey wings, turkey chili and sliders with sweet potato fries, chugged down with pumpkin-flavored beer. Dark chewy brownies cut in the shape of Pilgrim’s hats give a festive touch.

What to Expect During Your Home Build Throughout this column, we’ve discussed the various steps of the building process, from ﬁnding your contractor and building your team to the selection of your ﬁnish materials. As we wrap up this series, I want to list a few key elements of the process to help you avoid any surprises during the construction of your home. Keep in mind: Some contractors and builders can help you with the design, while others want you to come in with plans. Each builder will have a different style or specialty, but just because some builders don’t design doesn’t mean they won’t

deliver on the final product. However, you do want your contractor to be fully licensed, bonded and insured. If you have a chance to see examples of their finished projects, this can help you make a confident decision. When making a plan with your builder and staying involved throughout the construction process, you can still expect surprises. Have you ever heard the phrase “expect the unexpected”? This phrase certainly applies to building a house. The best way to plan for the unexpected is to know the general ins and outs of the building process. Here is a list of considerations and potential areas for surprise. Construction Loans If you apply for a construction loan, you’ll have to have copies of the floor plans and specs from your builder or architect so the mortgage lender can appraise the home to determine how much they will lend. It’s common to make a down payment, or a personal guarantee, and the sum can be significant. Also, keep in mind that the

appraisal and credit checks will come with fees, as well as title insurance on the land and homeowner’s insurance. The Budget Cushion It’s always best to have a full budget in mind with plenty of cushion. This is especially true for those taking out a home construction loan. It’s not uncommon for projects to go over budget (this is why we recommend to have a contingency built in between 10% to 15%). An experienced builder will factor in the budget allowances of design elements such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. However, these allowances do not always account for homes with many custom and high-end features and addons. I recommend discussing with your construction team the level of finishes you expect so they can input the proper allowances for your taste. It would also be smart to provide examples of the quality of work and styles of finishes you’re expecting. Quality Builders All builders are not of the same quality.

Some lower-end builders will have lower allowances to make their bid seem more affordable. What you don’t want is for your builder to skimp on the important foundational and structural elements of your home, compromising the house’s integrity. This tends to happen more with less-experienced and less-reputable builders. This is why researching your team and seeing the quality of previous projects is vital. The best way to stick to your budget is having a detailed set of plans to bid from. The more information on the plans the more accurate your bid will be. This will help the project to stay on budget with fewer surprises. You generally pay for the work completed in a weekly or bi-weekly installments, based on the work completed to date.

Mia Davila as Cindy-Lou Who and J. Bernard Calloway as The Grinch at The Old Globe

Christmas in Whoville

Who, who thinks he is Santa Claus, it’s really hard to be mean to her. Mia Davila (kids Pink team) has a beautiful voice and is absolutely adorable making her stage debut as Cindy-Lou Who. However, Cindy-Lou’s charm is not enough to change the hardened heart of the Grinch … at least not yet! He grumbles, repeats how he dislikes Christmas and then steals everything about Christmas in Whoville. Children are captivated by what will happen next (since it’s all taken from the book) and it’s very entertaining. The entire cast is incredible in creating their characters. James Vasquez does a terrific job directing, and the stage managers and production staff must also be complimented. I’ve seen the show several times and enjoy it more each time. However, two things caught my attention. Keeping the word “hate” out of their child’s vocabulary has been a big topic in social media, so I’m not sure how some parents will respond to that word repeated over and over in the show, although it is the title of one song. Also, when the Grinch is in a shadowed scene in his sleigh being led by the reindeer, he uses a whip that was slapped (making a very loud noise three or four times) as he is supposedly hitting the reindeer. I heard a child ask why he was hurting the reindeer ... I’m curious if that might be a problem. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ plays through Dec. 26 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Watching families take pictures in front of it and seeing children’s smiles is the prefect prelude to “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” a few steps away on The Shiley Stage through Dec. 26. Once inside the theater, the excitement can be felt as the aisles fill with parents and small children snuggling into their seats to await the curtain parting to reveal a snow-covered Whoville. One of the favorite characters of this charming tale is first on stage. A round of applause welcomes Old Max (Steve Gunderson), the dog who has dropped by Whoville to take one more look around before he leaves town. Gunderson has filled this role several times before, but he’s just as lovable and fresh this season as if it were his first. In recalling the story, we meet his younger self, Young Max (Tyrone Davis, Jr.), who wiggles and flops and looks right into the eyes of the kids in the audience and makes them laugh. As Old and Young Max explain what’s about to happen in “This Time of Year,” Whoville awakens with kids, Mama Who, Papa Who, Grandma and Grandpa Who and townspeople merrily filling the stage singing, “Who Likes Christmas?” Naturally, all this merriment seems too good to be true. Suddenly we know why, as the big, tall, mean, old Grinch (J. Bernard Calloway) comes to town and lets all in Whoville know exactly how he feels when he sings, “I Hate Christmas.” But when he’s approached by Cindy-Lou

FROM BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES REPORTS It’s official: Maxine and Marti Gellens of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties are among the top 100 most influential agents, as determined by the publisher of Real Estate Executive magazine. At the recent Real Estate Mastermind Summit in San Diego, the mother-daughter team from La Jolla received a plaque honoring them as among the magazine’s “100 Most Influential Agents.” They also were selected to participate on the Top Producers Panel, where they joined other agents with $20 million to $100 million-plus in annual sales to share their insights at the national traveling event attended by more than 300 of their peers at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. “It was an honor to represent Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, whose unwavering support has been so significant to our success,” Maxine said. “We enjoy giving back to the real estate community by sharing how we run our business, our current marketing strategies, and how we feel about the market. We also discussed how we keep it real with our clients and how it’s important for us to balance work and life.” Marti added, “In addition, we talked about how important our social media presence is for our listings and to showcase our fun personalities. We’ve mirrored late-night TV host’s James Corden’s ‘Carpool Karaoke’ with our own ‘Caravan Karaoke’ during our La Jolla REBA broker caravan, and we share these videos on social media. After the panel, agents in the audience took the opportunity to meet us personally as we’ve been in the market for so many years.” Based in the La Jolla Arcade office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, Maxine, Marti and their team (listing, marketing, escrow, office and showing coordinators, along with five sales agents) have sold countless homes in San Diego County since the duo became partners in 1994. Two years in a row, they’ve been ranked as “lucky” No. 13 top agents within the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network of 42,000 agents nationwide. They can be reached at (858) 551-6630, sold@gellens.com and gellens.com
