BY ASHLEY MACKIN On any given day, dozens of La Jolla children use the playground at La Jolla Rec Center. But with equipment that was installed in the 1950s (and a few newer pieces added 10 years ago) it’s time for an upgrade. La Jolla Parks & Rec, Inc., the board that manages the Rec Center, is looking for feedback on ways the playground could be improved, and will hold the first of several meetings to gather ideas, 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The playground renovation is the next step in a major improvement project that kicked off earlier this year to spruce up the 101-year-old facility. Changes, thus far, have been largely cosmetic, said La Jolla Parks & Rec. president Cindy Greatrex, citing the gift of a new grand piano, new curtains for the stage, and a freshened-up mural in the main hall. There were also a few “invisible” projects, such as new electrical wiring. Plans on the horizon include new fencing to surround the facility and the start of a youth theater program. SEE CENTER, A7

Falconer calls for conservation
H
enson, a 2-year-old Eurasian Eagle Owl attempts to fly from his Master Falconer’s arm at the Torrey Pines Gliderport in La Jolla. Terry Lockwood has been training birds for falconry, education and exhibition for 14 years. “We educate the public about birds of prey because when you have a connection with them in proximity, you are more likely to pay attention to the conservation issues. It’s time for people to open their minds to the needs of wildlife, so we are just doing our little part,” she said. More photos and the story behind her mission on A12.

MAD’s Enhance La Jolla seeks community ideas BY ASHLEY MACKIN After years of development, planning, presentations, fundraising and outreach, the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) for The Village was approved by the voters affected in mid-November. The votes were ratified by the San Diego City Council on Nov. 15 and now Enhance La Jolla (the organization
that will manage the MAD) is finalizing its 501(c)3 status. With that, the group will be ready to act. The assessments – which will mean about half a million dollars annually for maintenance in La Jolla — will start to be collected via a property tax bill in late 2017 for use in 2018. “We applied for 501(c)3 status about three months ago, and now
we’re waiting to hear back,” said Enhance La Jolla chair Bill Tribolet. “Once we get our 501(c)3 status approved, we can start doing capital improvements, which means we can raise other money in addition to the assessments that will go toward improvements in town that supplement City services, and carry out what the community wants. The City Council vote was a
big step, but it was just one step.” Once it receives 501(c)3 status, Enhance La Jolla can apply for grants from the La Jolla Community Foundation for capital projects. Enhance La Jolla would like community feedback on what kinds of projects to carry out. Early ideas include new and upgraded trash cans; benches; enhanced SEE MAD, A10

New Northern Division Captain shares vision of community police work BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Stephany Rose, who last month became the new Captain of the San Diego Police Department Northern Division (which includes La Jolla), said her first police assignment was as a bike patrol officer in the Southern Division. Now 23 years later, she’s been involved in diverse areas of the force, including Internal Affairs, Vice operations, sex crimes and the centralized telephone report unit. The 51-year-old was promoted to Captain in April 2015, and led the Northwestern Division until a few weeks ago when she switched posts with former Northern Division Captain Mark Hanten. Rose said the change was a part of the police department’s personal growth policy. “I’d been at Northwestern for four years, so Chief Shelley Zimmerman wanted to give me an opportunity to work something different, and the same with Captain Hanten,” Rose said. Hanging on one of the walls in her office, above a whiteboard showing shifts and work
assignments, is a straw broom fashioned into a “vehicle.” It features a bike seat, a witch hood ornament and a license plate that reads “Stephany.” “It was given to me by my squad at Western years ago. We had an officer who was injured and he always limped, so they gave him a cane that was black-and-white with a little flashing reflector light, like you would have on a bike, and they gave me that. Since then, I bring it with me everywhere. “My parents and I moved a lot, but I’m originally from Southern California. At one time we lived in Chula Vista. I went to high school in Oregon, and then I came to San Diego for college and never left.” In discussing the Northern Division beat, Rose said, “I realize each community has different issues, what’s happening in La Jolla is not the same as Clairemont, Pacific Beach, Mission Beach or Fiesta Island. But to me they all have the same priority, as we have to take action with whatever is going on there.” As to the types of crime that occur in La Jolla, Rose said, “So far

Stephany Rose is the new Northern Division Police Captain. most of what I’m understanding is that La Jolla has some quality-of-life issues with transients coming into the area, and this seemed to be increasing overtime, and there are property crimes. It’s similar to the community I just came from. “We ask our quality-of-life team to come up with solutions; one is to contact the transients moving into the area and find out where they’re from, what can we do to get them resources and back out to wherever they need to be. I also want officers and volunteers, who
we use a lot for visibility, to be able to drive all the streets and talk to everybody. That visibility is a huge deterrent we’ve found to be very effective. I want to make sure that any areas where we are starting to see extra property crimes, we add extra patrol, as well as having our officers address anybody with warrants wanted for property crime-type offenses.” When informed of the direction several communities within La Jolla are exploring to hire a private security force, Rose responded, “Every community needs to do
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
whatever they feel they need to do ... obviously, we can’t be everywhere at once, and neither could a security company. I’ve worked in gated communities that had their own security force, and I’ve worked in communities that did not, but had their own citizens’ patrol, and these can be effective, but they have to be properly trained to be our eyes and ears. “I don’t know if private security would be beneficial for La Jolla or not, but we will support whatever SEE ROSE, A27

City to spend $11 million on Avenida de la Playa stormwater ‘fiasco’ BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During its Oct. 24 meeting, the San Diego City Council allocated an additional $5 million for the Replacement of Stormwater Infrastructure on Avenida de la Playa (RSIAP) in La Jolla Shores. According to the request for action, $6,362,508 had already been spent on the project, which brings its pricetag to $11,362,508. According to the City’s website, the calculated cost of the project is $10,862,507, but as City’s public information officer Anthony Santacroce said, “This number will continue to be refined as the project progresses.” After years of construction, the RSIAP was finished in May 2015. Six months later, in January 2016, a large storm event collapsed the infrastructure, creating a sinkhole that extended almost half a block to the beach flooding Avenida de la Playa businesses between Camino del Sol and El Paseo Grande. Engineer Hany Elwany of Coastal Environments, who works out of La Jolla Shores, explained that, in his opinion, the project had engineering and construction safety problems. “This is troubling for the people living in the area because you can’t continue closing and reopening the

The explanation for why the new stormwater infrastructure failed completely is not an easy one to come by. As City Senior Engineer Steve Lindsay reported
at the Sept. 14 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting, logs and debris coming down the system clogged the recently installed outfall structure (which replaced the old storm drain). Allegedly, that’s what caused the

follows: “For the storm drain portion of the project, approximately 0.26 miles of (dual) 51-inch by 90-inch and (single) 72-inch by 72-inch Reinforced Concrete Boxes would be installed along Avenida De La Playa from Paseo Del Ocaso west toward the seawall within and adjacent to the beach area.” At the Nov. 9 LJSA meeting, Lindsay stated, “The original design did not hold up with the first large event we had. It was a cast structure with a heavy lid that just sat on top. As soon as it got pressure, the lid blew off, there was nothing holding it down. This new structure is going to be cast in place; there’s no way this thing is going to suffer the damages that the original structure did.” At the same time, a biofilter box installed under El Paseo Grande didn’t have the capacity to process the amount of water it received and it, too, blew up during the same storm event, causing flooding in that area of the street. When revisiting the project, Lindsay said they decided to leave the biofilter box out. “Unfortunately, what was there was working fine and we put something in that didn’t work, so we go back to the original

design,” he explained.
Area of Special Biological Significance
La Jolla Shores is one of 34 Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) along the California coastline. Coastkeeper lab coordinator Meredith Meyers explained that the designation was created in the 1970s to protect the water quality of those areas. “La Jolla Shores is home to several important habitats — kelp beds, rocky reefs, sandy flats and the canyon — and it’s special because gets a high level of use and it’s in the proximity of a highly urbanized area that makes it very vulnerable,” she said. In 1983, Meyers continued, a no-discharge requirement for ASBS was included in the State’s Ocean Plan. However, “The cities were already there, so there were some exemptions granted on a case-by-case basis.” The City of San Diego secured an exemption, but has been working since then to reduce urban runoff and low-flow discharges. As Lindsay pointed out, the low-flow has been directed to the sewer system for 15 years. “Once the water gets to Camino del Sol, there’s a diversion, so we take the low flow and put it into the sewer, so it doesn’t go to the beach. The sewer goes down to

However, the City had reports that indicated low-flow discharges during the dry season. As the original budget, included

in the 2014 Fiscal Year City Budget, states, “Reports indicated low-flow diversion was not functioning as needed resulting in dry weather flow reaching the beach, which is out of compliance with the California Oceans Plan. Additionally, the

current pipe is vastly undersized which results in street flooding every year.” The current construction, which eliminated the biofilter box, will replace the box culvert that failed in the storm event and add a baffle box on La Jolla
Shores Drive. The baffle box, as Lindsay described it, will eliminate some of the contaminants for smaller storm events. “If you have a big stream coming down La Jolla Shores Drive, we are not going to put the baffle box right in the middle, we are going to have a pipe going to the side, so there’s no risk of losing that again,” he said. Lindsay said the original design was to blame for the failure, and that was done by Tetra Tech Inc. A new company was hired for the new construction. The Avenida de la Playa storm drain system and outfall structure drains approximately 820 acres (1.28 square miles) into a protected area of the Pacific Ocean. The highly-urbanized watershed, mainly for residential and commercial uses, has a large amount of impervious surfaces that contribute to the urban runoff. The failure of the stormwater system in January 2016 endangered low flow and wet weather discharges. But, even when the current construction is completed, the ASBS will still be subject to urban runoff from large storm events. As Meyer put it, “By protecting urban runoff, you protect the biological communities that are valuable there, but you are also protecting the dozens of humans swimming there every day.”

Permitters OK Chelsea St. home remodel, review condo project BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN La Jolla Development Permit Review committee (DPR) at its Nov. 15 meeting approved plans for the remodeling of a home at 5192 Chelsea St. The project would partially demolish an existing 7,972-square-foot home reducing its size by 1,217 square feet for a 6,755-square-foot gross floor area. The plan is to carry out the construction under the “remodel” exemption, which will allow its current “non-conforming” status to continue. One of the goals of the project is to build a swimming pool on the west side of the lot. To do that, the applicant will demolish part of the existing basement, reducing the footprint of the building. But to be able to comply with the “remodel” exemption, the applicant needs to keep 50 percent of the original walls. In doing so, the design keeps the windowless north and south walls of the home as they are now, which DPR members took issue with. Trustee Angeles Liera said, “Can’t you poke some holes in the side yard walls? I’m eye-balling it, but you are allowing more than 50 percent of the floor area, and you’re actually changing some other windows.” Applicant Brian Will responded, “We would like to put windows in, it’s a priority for my client, but so far, I haven’t found space to do so. If we have to submit a new permit after this home is built to add some windows, clients might pursue that.” The 29-foot-tall, one-story and basement project features a kitchen, master suite, two smaller bedrooms, living/dining room, greeting room, laundry room, play room, two-car garage and a full basement. The remodeled home will be a shade of white

New DPR member Lawrence J. Zynda stucco with dark wood accents and bronze windows. The roof will have red tile. The applicant honored DPR’s preliminary review request to improve the view for pedestrians, so the front and two side gates will be 100 percent wrought iron, which pleased the committee. “Sometimes walking down there, one doesn’t know there’s an ocean,” Liera commented. The project features existing 4-foot side yards, which DPR members said could be beautified by “creeping vines along the walls so the effect of the wall is softened.” Said Liera, “Having the greenery creeping brings a sort of freshness into the space. There’s not much you can do because you have that wall, the property wall and another one just like it right across. All you can do is something to enhance the space.” DPR member Jim Ragsdale agreed. “I really

Another option might be some kind of relief pattern in the stucco to show some contrast, maybe in combination with the vine. Make that space come alive.” Trustees had no other issues with the project, and a motion to approve it passed. ■ Condo Conversion: A project to convert an existing property into two condominium units was presented for preliminary review by applicant Beth Reiter. The 0.16-acre site is at 7435 and 7437 Eads Ave., in the RS-1-7 residential zone of La Jolla.

New Hospital in La Jolla UC San Diego Health opened Jacobs Medical Center, a 245-bed, 509,500-square-foot medical and surgical specialty hospital on Nov. 20 at 9310 Medical Center Drive in La Jolla. Named in recognition of $100 million in gifts from Joan and Irwin Jacobs, the 10-story facility combines physician-scientists and care teams, precision medicine, clinical trials and creative arts and culinary offerings to provide an extraordinary healing experience for patients and families. It was designed by CannonDesign, and built by Kitchell at a cost of $943 million. There are three specialty centers within Jacobs Medical Center: the Rady Pavilion for Women and Infants, the Pauline and Stanley Foster Pavilion for Cancer Care, and the A. Vassiliadis Family Pavilion for Advanced Surgery. These will treat everything from single and multiple births to the most complex malignancies and chronic diseases. health.ucsd.edu
To fund the new play area, a group of anonymous donors have agreed to pool up to $350,000 for modern equipment and shade structures. While the initial amount would be enough to replace some of the climb-ons and add a mechanism for shade, the more money the community raises, the more “fun” that could be added. “The donors are willing to spearhead a fundraising campaign for a new playground, which is what people in La Jolla seem to be looking for,” Greatrex said. “But there are literally hundreds of thousands of incarnations of ADA-accessible playgrounds, which is going to be one of our big requirements. We need to start somewhere, so we’re having an open forum with some white boards to jot down ideas and see what people want.” In addition to being ADA-compliant, the board has determined the new playground will use contemporary building materials to replace the metal structures that get hot to the touch in the summer, and softer ground padding.

We need to know, do people want a theme? A certain type of equipment? As a board, we don’t want to make those decisions without

Look Who’s Coming! Preparations are underway for the 2016 La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival, which typically lasts 90-100 minutes down Girard Avenue. This photo was taken at the parade in 2015.
Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival set for Sunday, Dec. 4 along Girard Avenue With the theme “Christmas in the Future,” the 59th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival is poised to take place earlier than usual this year, stepping off 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4 from Girard Avenue and Kline Street, accompanied by an antique aircraft flyover the Village parade route. The more than 100 participants will travel west on Girard Avenue, and then south on Prospect Street, where the approximately 90-minute procession will end at the La Jolla Rec Center (615 Prospect St.), the site of the Holiday Festival. Dozens of floats, bands, marching units, equestrians and vintage vehicles comprise the
La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival, in addition to special appearances by Abdullah the Camel, fire engines and assorted beauty queens. The Old Black Goose, a 1915 vehicle provided by La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, will transport Santa Claus down the streets to the Holiday Festival at the Rec Center. The Festival will include a Kids’ Zone with pony rides, inflatable bounce houses and educational activities, stage entertainment, information about community organizations at Candy Cane Lane, and FOCAS’ annual dog adoption event. Also, courtesy of La Jolla Sunrise Rotary, children will have the
opportunity to take their picture with Santa. The stage entertainment begins at 2 p.m., culminating in the Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. There will be No Parking and Tow-Away Zones on Girard Avenue from Prospect Street to Torrey Pines Road, Prospect Street from Girard Avenue to La Jolla Boulevard, Kline Street from Ivanhoe Avenue to Fay Avenue, Hershel Avenue from Silverado Street to Torrey Pines Road, and stretches of Ivanhoe Avenue and Torrey Pines Road. ■ What to know more?

FROM MAD, A1 signage; traffic calming projects, such as roundabouts; park improvements, in partnership with La Jolla Parks & Beaches Committee; La Jolla Recreation Center improvements, in partnership with La Jolla Park & Recreation Committee; tree canopies on main thoroughfares; and public art. Tribolet said in speaking with fellow La Jollans, he’s begun to gather ideas. “Some say the sidewalks need to be more consistent and in better shape. Others have suggested hiring private security to patrol The Village. The Belvedere Project would be a big one, but it’s one that is often mentioned. If someone thinks we need fountains or new trash cans, we could look into that. We’re open to things that would make the community a little warmer, more inviting and more attractive.” Those with ideas are encouraged to attend quarterly Enhance La Jolla meetings, which will be publicized and open to the public. The board consists of 12 members that include commercial and residential property owners, community members at large, and representatives from the La Jolla Community Foundation and La Jolla Village Merchants Association. They are: Tribolet, Steve Haskins, Ed Witt, Mark Dibella, George Hauer, Kathryn Kanjo, Leon Kassel, David Marino, Andy Nelson, Phyllis Pfeiffer, Hans Peter Wagener and Nancy Warwick. “Our job as a board is to hear people’s ideas, prioritize them and see if we can get funding for them. However, La Jollans need to have a say in it because it’s our community and we want to do what’s best for our community,” Tribolet said. “If there are things people think ought to be done, they can communicate that with the board (via enhancelajolla.org).” In addition to collecting capital project ideas, throughout 2017, the Enhance La Jolla board will meet and seek the best maintenance contracts so they are in place and ready to go when the maintenance assessments are available to carry out cleanup efforts in 2018. Enhance La Jolla meeting dates will be posted at enhancelajolla.org and published in La Jolla Light. (See related Commentary, A22.)
Cracked and crumbling fixtures around the Village will be one of the first MAD targets.

Falconers train birds of prey at Torrey Pines Gliderport BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN hen David Metzgar, a falconer and biologist first tried parahawking in Nepal, he thought, “It just struck me that Southern California is such an amazing place to fly, as are the foothills of the Himalayas ... so the Torrey Pines Gliderport was the best place to try and teach some birds to fly with me.” Parahawking is an experience offered in very few places in the world. It consists of tandem paragliding with an instructor alongside a bird of prey, which is used to help find the thermals (columns of rising air) during the flight. Metzgar explained, “Birds have a yet unexplained ability to sense where that rising area is in the atmosphere, and they lead us to it. It’s also a really unique opportunity to just commune with birds by actually flying around in their environment with them.” This experience is not yet available at the Torrey Pines Gliderport, but Metzgar is working on it. His wife Antonella Zampolli left her career as a biologist at The Scripps Research Institute three years ago to become a full-time falconer. She is trying to familiarize her birds with the world-famous flying site. “This is a fantastic place all around to get them trained, socialized, acquainted with gliders and seeing a lot of wings up in the sky. There are not that many places where you can do that, but you only have to look around and see how perfect this place is,” she said. A Peregrine Falcon population in the area is an obstacle to flying free for the couple’s Lanner Falcons. “The Peregrines are very aggressive and territorial, and they dive bomb the Lanner birds when they see them because they are competition. While the Lanner Falcons are trained not to hunt, they attempt to defend themselves ... but there is little defense against the (bigger) Peregrine Falcon. Our hope is that eventually the Peregrines will tire of chasing them around, and realize they are not doing any harm,” Metzgar explained. Metzgar and Zampolli both hold doctorates in biology and are paragliding pilots. They met flying at the Torrey Pines Gliderport. Zampolli, who hails from Italy, said the Gliderport has a special meaning for her. “I became a paraglider pilot because I came to work at The Scripps Research Institute and I would walk here and see people flying all the time. I said, ‘Oh, I have to try that out,’ so five or six years later, I met Dave.” Zampolli, Metzgar and Terry Lockwood are the founding members and instructors of Total Raptor Experience, a company created in 2014 that combines their three passions —paragliding, birds of prey and ecology — to spread knowledge about wildlife and conservation. They offer education services with group experiences, flight demonstrations, owl encounters and ecology discussions. “There’s less and less environment and natural places for these birds, so what we’re doing here is bringing these birds for up-close experiences, so people will better remember them and their needs,” Zampolli said. The company’s headquarters are based out of Lockwood’s home in Ramona, where she

Five Falcon Facts 1. The genus Falco includes about 40 species widely distributed on all continents of the world except Antarctica. 2. A male falcon is about one-third smaller than a female. 3. Falcons kill with their beaks, using a “tooth” on the side of their beaks unlike hawks, eagles and other birds of prey that use their feet. 4. Falcons have exceptional powers of vision; the visual acuity of one species has been measured at 2.6 times that of a human. 5. Peregrine falcons have been recorded diving at speeds of 200 miles per hour (320 km/h), making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth. —wikipedia
has built habitats for the birds and farm animals exclusively from recycled materials. “We do some of our programs there, we do an owl encounter, the Hawk-Falcon-Owl, and we also add farm fun,” Lockwood explained.
Antonella Zampolli with Bunco (Lanner Falcon, 2 1/2 years old, 1 pound) and David Metzgar with Sophia (Lanner Falcon, 1 1/2-years old, under 1 pound). ‘Sophia is very communicative while Bunco is very silent. I’m talking about them like they were people, which they are obviously not, but it’s just to give an idea that they have little personalities.’
Falconry
Lockwood has been a falconer for 14 years. “Falconry is 4,000 years old, the oldest sport in history, and the most amazing form of bird watching you can ever experience,” she said, adding that the specialty doesn’t consist of teaching birds how to do tricks. “By definition, falconry is using a trained bird of prey to catch wild quarry.” Birds of prey were widely used in the past as a way to put food on the table, she continued. “People recognized that this was a way of feeding their family, because other than that you had bows and arrows (to kill game), and if it was up to me with a bow and arrow, I’d starve (laughs). It became very popular up until the invention of the gun.” Being a falconer is a commitment of time and money. Lockwood takes her birds hunting four times a week when it’s the SEE FALCONERS, A27
Terry Lockwood holds Henton (Eurasian Eagle Owl, 2 years old, 6 pounds). His life expectancy in captivity is 60 years. ‘Owls are a little slow at learning, it takes a while for them to assimilate information. We will train him to fly to a perch so he will do some flying and stuff, but right now we are just working on the basics,’ Lockwood said.

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Meet Michael Nance of A Bridge for Kids Editor’s Note: Welcome to La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series, which 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.
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN ichael Nance resigned from his job as an investment manager the day his wife was diagnosed with cancer, nine years ago. They traveled for a while until they started the non-profit A Bridge for Kids that helps teens from low-income families reach their life goals. Nance will be spending Thanksgiving at home with his children, Brendan, 18, and Amanda, 15, his parents and sister. His wife passed away a year ago.
M
How did you end up in La Jolla?
“I grew up in New Jersey. I went school in Philadelphia and Chicago, and then moved to Boston, where I lived for 15 years, working in investment management. We moved out here as a family, about 12 years ago. It was a conscious decision for the weather and the lifestyle.”
What do you do for fun?
“The charity that I run, A Bridge for Kids, is fun. We just had a fundraiser where we raised more than $275,000, and the last couple of weeks we’ve been out awarding sponsorships to low-income kids in San Diego with the money the community pledged. There’s nothing more fun than seeing a kid, who literally has nothing, who sleeps on the floor, and awarding him a $1,000 sponsorship, telling him he can go on college tours and take an SAT prep class
for free. Seeing the joy in his face as he started to cry ... there’s nothing I’d rather do than that. Also hanging out with my kids. My son just signed up to play baseball with Fordham in New York, he’s a senior at La Jolla Country Day, so I spent a lot of time watching baseball for the last 12-13 years. My daughter played three different sports last year at La Jolla Country Day — volleyball, soccer and lacrosse — so it’s a full-time job watching their games.”
How did you come up with the idea for A Bridge for Kids?
“It’s something I wanted to do since I got in business school when I was 25. I think that’s important. I always had a soft spot in my heart for kids, having raised a couple, and we found there are more charities for younger kids, as opposed to teenagers, who have pimples and can be grumpy, and who don’t get any kind of community support. So we thought, let’s go to the place that gets the least amount of help, and that’s where our focus is, on low-income teenagers in San Diego.”
What was your upbringing like?
“My growing up was very similar to the kids we work with, I was lower-middle class, but my parents worked long hours, my dad never went to college, both my parents worked very hard to put food on the table, but they had a work ethic and they wanted to do more with their lives and they instilled those traits in me. The other part of my childhood was playing sports, I played basketball and baseball, pretty much full time in high school.”
What do you enjoy most in life?
“Over the last couple of years we’ve been to Africa, Italy,

Reins of Change offers equine therapy in Rancho Santa Fe BY CHRIS SAUR Two North County sisters have created a non-traditional therapy business that couldn’t be more at home in Rancho Santa Fe. Reins of Change offers equine therapy, where clients interact with horses under the watchful eye of an equine-assisted learning specialist and, in most situations, a specially trained psychotherapist. The results from even one session working with the majestic animals can have profound effects for those dealing with issues like anxiety and depression or groups looking for team-building. And while the new business is perfect for the horse-friendly city of Rancho Santa Fe, it’s also a no-brainer for owners Betsy Gleijeses and Brandi Miller. “We grew up with horses, they’ve always been a part of our lives,” Miller said. “(Reins of Change) came about because I thought there was a need for equine therapy in the area.” After their mother passed away 10 years ago, Miller said her horse was basically her therapist and that planted the seed in her mind. Gleijeses, who was already working as a court-appointed advocate for c hildren in foster care, saw equine therapy being done at the same barn where she was keeping her horse in the Los Angeles area, and decided to sponsor one of her kids. She was very impressed by the results and worked to get the courts to fund a pilot program for foster kids. “I got into it because I saw the amazing impact it had on those kids,” Gleijeses explained. The sisters shared their experiences and eventually decided to both get certified through the world-renowned Equine Assisted

Brandi Miller and Betsy Gleijeses run Reins of Change, which offers equine therapy in Rancho Santa Fe. Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA). Then, when Gleijeses moved down to join her sister in North County last year, the time was right and they opened Reins of Change. The work is done at Miller’s home, a sprawling Rancho Santa Fe estate with several built-in arenas for equine therapy. “We already had the horses and we were already certified equine specialists, so we just needed to find a therapist,” Miller said. That therapist is Vivian Rowe, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a holistic psychotherapy practice based in La Jolla in addition to her work with Reins of Change.
Rowe is certified in equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) and equine-assisted learning (EAL) by EAGALA and is the EAGALA networking co-coordinator for San Diego County. During the sessions, clients (individuals or groups) work with a therapist (Rowe), an equine specialist (Gleijeses or Miller) and the horse, which isn’t trained specifically for this work to keep the interaction raw and unfiltered. Reins of Change serves children, families, at-risk youth, veterans with PTSD, people in recovery and people needing work on emotional intelligence and more. So how does it actually work? Clients can come to Reins of Change with a personal mental health goal or an obstacle they are trying to overcome, and the therapist and specialist work together to create a task, using props (like balls, cones, hula hoops, etc.), for the client to complete with the horse in the arena. The range of activities is almost endless but one example could be the client building an obstacle course and then moving the horse through the course. The therapist watches the interaction — how the client designs the course, how they lead the horse and the reaction when a problem arises like the horse gets distracted — and then talks to the client about everything afterward. “The goal is to take what you learn in the arena and apply it to your life,” Miller said.

San Diego Center for Children to celebrate 130th anniversary in May BY KRISTINA HOUCK Next year marks a major milestone for San Diego Center for Children. Having served children and families throughout San Diego County for decades, San Diego Center for Children celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2017. “It’s an opportunity to acknowledge our rich history, and it’s also an opportunity to engage the San Diego community to learn more about San Diego Center for Children,” said executive director Moisés Barón, Ph.D. Founded in 1887, San Diego Center for Children is the oldest children’s non-profit in the region, currently serving children and families struggling with emotional, behavioral and mental health challenges. “To appropriately respond to the needs of children and families, we have a range of programs,” Barón said. “We have a presence throughout the whole county.” About one in five children, or 20 percent, suffer from a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Within eight locations and hundreds of homes throughout San Diego County, San Diego Center for Children provides prevention, assessment, transition, outpatient therapy, school-based therapies, education, wraparound, foster care and residential treatment programs for children, youth and their families. In addition to San Diego Center for Children Academy, a nonpublic school accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, San Diego Center for Children manages two programs within schools in Carlsbad and the South Bay that give students hand-in-hand counseling and skill-building within their school day. The nonprofit organization also partners with San Diego County to provide therapeutic services to children and youth in foster care. “We’re able to respond to the individual needs of children and families by ensuring that they get the appropriate treatment and services for their needs,” Barón said. “By being able to appropriately identify and intervene with the appropriate service,

The organization provided care to destitute and helpless women — many of them with children. Over time, the organization began providing more support and services to children. The association opened a nursery in the late 1980s, relocated from Balboa Park to Kearny Mesa in 1959, and finally changed its name to San Diego Center for Children in 1975. With a mission to protect the joy of childhood, prevent emotional suffering and incite change, today San Diego Center for Children reaches more than 1,000 children and families throughout the region every day. “When you look at the history, you can see that the organization has really adapted to the changing needs of the population that it was serving,” Barón said. Barón joined the organization as CEO more than two years ago. Among the organization’s accomplishments in that time, Barón said he is proud that San Diego Center for Children obtained
reaccreditation from the Joint Commission. All of San Diego Center for Children’s therapeutic programs, Barón said, are accredited by the Joint Commission, an independent, nonprofit organization that accredits more than 21,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. San Diego Center for Children has close to 360 employees. The organization, Barón said, also currently has 26 trainees from different professional programs in the region and beyond. “I’m proud of the work our staff does,” Barón said. “We definitely have a very passionate and skilled staff. We have a very engaged board, we have a very engaged advisory council, and we have very engaged volunteers. They really come together to serve the needs of some of the most underserved and at-risk children and youth in our county.” Looking forward to the future, Barón said he wants San Diego Center for Children to be identified as a leader and innovator in providing effective therapeutic and educational services to children with mental, emotional and behavioral disorders, as well as their families. San Diego Center for Children, Barón said, also aims to improve access to care to families in need. The organization, he said, would also like to be recognized as a top multidisciplinary training site for mental health and educational professionals. San Diego Center for Children is celebrating its 130th anniversary with a gala planned for May 4 at San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina. The organization is also inviting the community to participate in Wacky Wonky Wonderland to spread holiday cheer to the children and families served by San Diego Center for Children. There will be live music, special holiday activities, and festive food and drinks. The cost of admission is an unwrapped toy or gift card worth $25 or more, or a monetary donation to the center. The holiday event takes place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11 at the center’s main campus at 3002 Armstrong Street, San Diego. RSVP; centerforchildren.org/wacky-wonky-wonderland/.

Bring your own power cords, chargers, ear buds and any other accessories you can’t live without.

Never, ever charge a device in your host’s kitchen – or any other place where outlets and space are at a premium. Choose an out-of-the-way location, and make sure your device is password protected so it’s off-limits to curious young guests.

What you need to know: California’s new pot law demystified
N
5. You may be able to clean up your legal record.
ow that California voters have passed Proposition 64, legalizing marijuana use for adults for recreational purposes, what’s next? Here’s a look at seven things that reflect the new landscape in California when it comes to marijuana:
One of the major provisions of the law allows those with prior marijuana convictions to petition the courts to revisit cases that the new law legalizes. “For example, if your conviction was for cultivating less than six plants (in your house), now that six plants is legal, you can have that conviction wiped out,” Cindrich said. “If (the conviction) was a felony but is now a misdemeanor, you can have your charge and your record changed.”
1. You can grow it at home.
Effective immediately, if you’re 21 or older, you can possess an ounce of pot and up to six plants in your home legally. In addition, some sweeping changes to the California criminal code go into effect. For example, law enforcement can no longer use the smell of marijuana or the presence of paraphernalia as a basis for broad searches. “Marijuana is now going to be a legal commodity like alcohol,” said Tamar Todd, legal director of Drug Policy Action, the advocacy and political arm of the Drug Policy Alliance, which backed Prop 64. “By itself, marijuana is not considered contraband so the mere presence of somebody having it is not grounds to stop, search, frisk and detain somebody.”
2. The tax money won’t come right away.
The financial impact of Prop 64 is expected to be big — analysts at the Legislature estimate additional state and local tax revenues ranging from “the high hundreds of millions of dollars to over $1 billion annually.” But the lion’s share of the new law consists of establishing the licensing, sale and tax collection regimes needed to oversee the industry. Licensing and taxation will not begin until January 2018.
3. You still can’t smoke in public.
Smoking pot in public is still against the law and so is driving while impaired by marijuana. Any potential recreational marijuana shop cannot be within 600 feet of daycare centers, schools and other youth centers. And businesses that sell alcohol or tobacco cannot sell pot. In an effort to avoid some of the problems seen in
6. The Catch-22? Actually getting pot won’t be easy.
Colorado, labels on marijuana edibles will be just as detailed as any food product, including safe portion sizes and warnings about allergens. The new law also prohibits advertising aimed at minors and requires businesses that sell recreational pot to check IDs to make sure buyers are not underage.
4. Local communities still have a lot of power.
Just as in the case of medical marijuana, local governments can ban commercial marijuana transactions by ordinance and if they decide to OK marijuana businesses, the local authorities can regulate them through zoning laws. Poway’s City Council on Nov. 1 banned the commercial sale and outdoor cultivation of marijuana, joining Santee, San Marcos, Lemon Grove and National City. But while communities can nix cultivation, they cannot ban the provision allowing up to six plants in a person’s home.
Illness
Injuries
Physcials
How does someone who wants to use pot legally get it? Medical dispensaries cannot sell to recreational users. Cultivators cannot legally sell it until they get licensed by the state, which won’t happen until January 2018. And potential customers cannot drive to a state such as Oregon where recreational use is legal and take it back to California because it’s against the law to take marijuana across state lines. Recreational users will have to rely — if they don’t want to break the law — on using pot from their plants at home or by getting it from medical marijuana users. But it’s against the law for a medical marijuana user to sell pot to somebody else; they can only give it away for free. A person cannot sell it to another adult but they can share it.
7. Hemp is now legal.
Almost lost in the hoopla surrounding Prop 64 is the provision that allows for the production of industrial hemp by California farmers, which will be regulated by the state’s Department of Food & Agriculture. It’s a little more under the radar, but especially for a state like California, it’s more significant than it was for states like Washington or Colorado because we have so much agriculture potential for it. — The San Diego Union Tribune

Frontline cancer BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN
We’re thankful for enlightened scientists
“Behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain.” —Bob Dylan, “Not Dark Yet”
H
ere’s a doctor’s confidentiality: I’m a huge Dylan fan. My admiration for the singer and songwriter is deep and abiding, no matter how much the times they are a-changin’. I’ve read possibly every book ever written about him, including one that consisted entirely of reprinted newspaper interviews. I saw him in concert at the Houston Rodeo in 2002. I stood no more than 10 feet from the stage, tangled up in Bob. He didn’t move; neither did I. Last month, Dylan received the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature, a surprising and controversial choice to some, but one that fellow devotees and I applauded. Dylan possesses an indisputable genius, an original way of seeing and explaining life that seems a necessary prerequisite and trait among Nobel laureates. Certainly that has been my observation and my experience with two laureates I actually do know.
When Roger Tsien died earlier this year at age 64, a light went out in the world. Tsien was professor of pharmacology, chemistry and biochemistry in the UC San Diego School of Medicine and co-winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his literally illuminating work with fluorescent proteins. With fellow laureates Osamu Shimomura and Martin Chalfie, Roger turned a protein used by glowing jellyfish into a laboratory tool that scientists everywhere now employ to peer within living cells and organisms. Researchers have used green fluorescent proteins, for example, to trace nerve cell damage during Alzheimer’s disease and how insulin-producing beta cells are created in the pancreas of a growing embryo. Among the great beneficiaries of his work has been cancer research, which very much interested Roger. In recent years he devoted considerable time to advancing the utility of fluorescent proteins in cancer science and treatments, including collaborating with Quyen Nguyen, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor in the
Department of Surgery and a staff investigator at Moores Cancer Center, to create fluorescent peptides that would cause hard-to-see peripheral nerves to glow, allowing surgeons to avoid damaging or cutting them, and Anne Wallace, M.D., who translated his imaging agent into its first clinical trial, which was conducted and recently completed at the Moores’ Comprehensive Breast Health Center. Yet despite these and many other accomplishments, Roger was invariably humble and self-effacing. “I’m just the guy who makes the tools,” he once said of his work. He liked to talk about his projects and ideas, not himself. In our meetings and conversations, Roger was invariably thinking ahead, seeing possibilities not yet imagined by others. Earlier this month, there was a special event on campus for colleagues to honor and remember Roger. He will not be forgotten. Neither will the dinner I had with Roger and my other favorite Nobel laureate, Elizabeth Blackburn, Ph.D., who became president of Salk Institute for Biological Studies this year after a long and distinguished tenure at UC San Francisco. Blackburn (See related story, A8) won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine one year after Roger for discovering the molecular nature of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, and for co-discovering telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomere ends. Telomeres and telomerase play key roles in aging and in diseases like cancer. Her work was enlightening and profound. Like Roger, Liz is a towering intellect, a
scientist of incredible vision and energy. I’ve had the privilege of working with her to advocate for cancer research and prevention. Sitting at that dinner so many months ago, I will admit to a bit of bedazzlement, but also inspiration. The experience reminded me of something Dylan once said: “Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.” People like Roger and Liz also ask why and whether there’s a better way to stay dry. Dylan’s quotes and lyrics are often equally bewildering and insightful. I like his songs, in part, because they capture a world view the best researchers possess: an ability to think outside the box, often far, far beyond it. At Moores Cancer Center and UC San Diego, we have benefitted enormously from having many such scientists in our midst, people like Shu Chien, Craig Venter and Michael Karin among them. Liz embodies this ideal; Roger quietly helped define it. “I define nothing,” Dylan once said. “I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.” Our best and brightest are like that: They look at the world, take its measure and pursue goals that help make the world what it can and should be. We are smarter and better for knowing them. Rest in peace, Roger. We will carry on. —Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

OUR READERS WRITE Readers respond to story about flight-path noise ■ Thank you for writing my story about the flight path noise problem in the Nov. 24 issue. Since you were last here, the problem has actually gotten worse. Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy I haven’t been unable to follow up on some of the contacts I've made. I have at least two neighbors who are furious with what's going on now, so maybe we can get together and get something done. I am hoping you get some good feedback from other folks! Beatriz Pardo ■ Beatriz Pardo is 100 percent correct about the new flight noise. There used to be close to none and now there is tons. We picked La Jolla as our home partly because of the quiet no-flight path location. And the FAA has the nerve to say there was a notice and comment period. Who was notified? Not us? All of us have noticed the changes. What a joke. At a recent 90-minute Saturday Muirlands soccer game, five planes flew noisily overhead. There used to none. I thought I was crazy. Thank you and Ms. Pardo for getting involved in this issue! Todd Lyons ■ I am a longtime resident of Bird Rock. I agree with Beatriz Pardo that the airplane flights are noisy and occur both early and late in the day. In addition, the seemingly constant helicopter flights are even worse. They occur at all hours of the day and night and at very low heights. What’s even worse, is that often the helicopter uses a PA system that is loud and obnoxious and very disturbing. How was any policing done without the helicopter? Let us also add the “weekend” pilot. Each weekend numerous small biplanes and recreational planes, as well as banner advertising fly over the area at very low heights. How would you feel if someone in a race car drove up and down the street where you live? The effect is very much like that and just as disturbing. This Sunday morning the skies were full of
planes. Between 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., flights seemed to fly on a northerly trajectory (toward LA) about every 10 minutes or so. The noise was very distinctive and loud enough to wake me with the growl-like sound of aircraft climbing to cruising altitude. Over Bird Rock they are still quite low and are easily seen with the naked eye — no binoculars needed. Once the aircraft has passed, the pause in flight schedule brings a peace and calm that is soon broken by the next flight out. Flights continue throughout the day but nothing seems quite so bad as the first few hours of the day. Needless to say, helicopters fly at all hours, very low and very noisy especially as they often circle over the same area for some extended time. As a longtime resident of Bird Rock, I deplore the changes “to enhance the flow of air traffic and cut fuel costs” at the expense of the noise and disturbance to those living below. Echoing Ms. Pardo, “If I had wanted to be awakened by aircraft every morning, I would not have chosen the tranquility of Bird Rock.” Note that I have in the past written to the Light about the noise from flights but have never received a reply or acknowledgement. Gillian Ackland ■ Yes, I have noticed more flights turning north closer to Bird Rock from the airport. If the planes continued west for even one minute more before turning north this would make a huge difference. Robert “Skip” George ■ Yes, I have noted much more airplane noise in La Jolla Shores Heights area and I don’t like it. Eric Blau ■ I’ve been noticing noise from airplanes both in the morning and in the evening inside my house not far from Bird Rock. The windows and doors are closed and the noise is very noticeable. What can we do about this? Betty Vorhies ■ We're in the southern most end of La Jolla Alta where there's lots of big beautiful sky! It might have been about a year ago when we noticed every kind of small/private plane and
helicopter began to enjoy flying directly over our backyard. Granted, it’s a pretty nice backyard, but we'd like to enjoy it, too! We understand the emergency hospital helicopters and police units with their occasional high beams into our bedroom on occasion, but whom else are we talking about? Fortunately, we're not plagued by the commercial jets just yet as they're still to the east. Perhaps it’s time to move to Point Loma? Carolynn A. La Pierre ■ It’s Sunday morning, my front door is open, and the airplane takeoffs are endless and creating a huge difference in the noise level. When we invested in Bird Rock, I conscientiously focused on environmental noise learning that we were subject to the northbound flights, not the entire air traffic take-off system. Today is different, very different. What can we do to share the take-off load out of San Diego? Another thought: To make everyone happy, the planes should take off and climb over the Pacific Ocean until they are high enough in their U-turn to head east. As I work all week and was out all day, Saturday, Sunday was my first day at home and the noise from these flights was unending. Head them out over the Pacific, just like they do at JFK, which heads them out over the Atlantic while they climb altitude. Lesley Weber ■ I’ve heard an increase in airplane noise the past couple of weeks where I live on Coral Reef Avenue and just tonight, in the past 60 minutes, I've heard a plane go by just about every minute — literally. While we've always had planes in the area, they seem to be much lower and much noisier and more frequent. I have lived here for 15 years and I've never heard constant flights over my house like I do now and I’m thinking I might have to move. This is too much noise. I want to let someone else know this is happening in our neighborhood, as well. Debra Block ■ I live at WindanSea and am well aware of SEE LETTERS, A24

Bishops defeats La Jolla 49-0 in CIF quarterfinals BY ASHLEY MACKIN
T
he battle for Pearl Street has a new victor — and CIF has a new contender — after The Bishops School Knights defeated the La Jolla High School Vikings 49-0 on Nov. 18, in the CIF Division 3 quarterfinals. With the victory, the undefeated (11-0 overall) Knights proceed to the CIF semi-finals to take on Valley Center High School, Friday Nov. 25. “We all looked forward to playing against La Jolla High School because of the community spirit and because we have a lot of respect for the team and their coaching staff,” said Bishop’s coach Joel Allen. “It was fun game and great night for us.” The Knights were active from the start, scoring four if it’s seven touchdowns in the first half, and kept the defensive line strong. A strategy Allen says the Knights will take with them through CIF competition. “We have to keep doing what we’ve been doing, playing good defense and making strong plays on offense,” he said. “Valley Center is a well-coached team and bigger than we’re used to playing, and we’ve been preparing for that, but as we get to bigger and stronger teams, our offensive and defensive lines are going to be so important.” The Knights take on the 10-1 overall Valley Center Jaguars 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25 at La Jolla High School, 750 Nautilus St.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) FROM LETTERS, A22 the constant roar of planes, lately. I attributed it to some kind of military maneuver and expected it to go away eventually. It is disturbing. Renate Dutcher ■ I live on La Jolla Corona Court in the Muirlands. Recently, I’ve noticed new noise from the jet engines. It sounds like rumbling thunder. It seems to occur around 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. I have dual-pane windows, but I still hear the loud noise over my home. I hope that if enough people complain, the new flight paths can be changed. Marilyn Back ■ I read last week’s article and wish to report that I, too, have been hearing loud jets in the distance for the past few weeks. I am at home now, its 5:10 p.m. in La Jolla Shores on Vallecitos Court, and there is a loud jet noise every approximately 2-3 minutes since about 5 p.m. I heard this the other day, too, and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. It is very loud and thundering, in the distance. I thought possibly there were military jets nearby, but now I fear it is airport noise. Very unhappy about this noise. Thank you for writing the article, hopefully we can insist that the FAA keep the airplane noise over the ocean and not over residential areas. We should not be subject to this bureaucratic unaccountability. Cameron Volker
Sea lion problems lie on City’s shoulders Regarding a letter last week about sea lions at La Jolla Cove: We can’t move the sea lions from La Jolla Cove TO anywhere; we can only move them FROM where they are now. Where they go next will be their choice, not ours. We now have a large population of sea lions in La Jolla Cove, a small, developed city beach, where a large number of people go in the water and where the smell of the sea lion waste wafts through a densely populated prime area of the city. Each day these animals deposit approximately a 55-gallon drum full of sewage in The Cove area. If the sea lions were in an undeveloped beach where no one swam and their stench didn’t bother anyone, there would not be a problem. If the sea lions move to another coastal area where we don’t want them, we’ll have to shoo them from there, too. The process will take some time, maybe several years. Hopefully, they will end up at a place where their presence does not cause problems. Maybe that will be somewhere in Point Loma, Baja or the Coronado Islands, which would be fine. They don’t need to be near people and people don’t need to be near them. La Jolla Cove is about the worst place in Southern California to allow an infestation of large smelly animals. For over a hundred years, the City has spent large amounts of taxpayer money (millions just recently)
building lifeguard towers, stairs, decks, walkways, retaining walls and other structures as part of Scripps Park, La Jolla Cove and Children’s Pool. The Cove was rated as one of the top 10 beaches; it won’t be anymore. The City should have addressed the problem years ago. The City should have protected our investment and the health of those who use La Jolla Cove. But they stuck their head in the sand, which is how they deal with many problems. If they had stuck their head in the sand at La Jolla Cove or Children’s Pool beach, they may have understood the problem better, as it would have made them ill. Dan Truitt

I share other letter writers’ incredulity that La Jolla High School administrators intend to deny individual access to the LJHS track to joggers and walkers like me. The rationale is that funds from Proposition S (a 2008 $2.1 billion bond measure to support school upgrades) somehow prohibits our using the facility — unless we rent it! — a clearly impossible barrier for individual users. In 2007, the community faced a similar lockout threat (for different reasons), but we constructively engaged administrators to turn that around, and then we happily used the track for another eight years until reconstruction closed it. If we care about restoring access for individual recreational use, let's get together and organize an approach. I am happy to receive and disseminate input, and help coordinate a public meeting.

Candidates, please pick up your signs The proliferation of campaign signs on public property is creating a real eyesore in La Jolla, particularly on La Jolla Parkway and Torrey Pines Road. Three and four signs are placed next to each other for the same person, and installed a few months before the election. The candidate and/or the organization installing them should be fined a significant amount for EACH sign. At the very least, if the signs are not taken down by two days after the election, there should be fines for every sign still standing. This advertising is an assault on the aesthetics in our community, and I don’t understand how they can be legal when installed on public property.

Of the new Internet access, San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten said, ‘Thanks to this partnership with Cox Business, our students will have access to enterprise class WiFi service, allowing them to collaborate with their teachers and peers in amazing new ways.’
Cox connects La Jolla schools with high-speed Internet Infrastructure installation complete, ‘switch on’ coming soon BY ASHLEY MACKIN In the coming weeks, every public school in La Jolla will have access to Cox Business high-speed wireless Internet, following an extensive project to add 54 miles of fiber cables to an existing network in San Diego and add 92 schools to that network. “For the last several years, we’ve had fiber (cables providing Internet access) for 97 San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) campuses. But those were sites that were close to our existing network, mostly in the southern and eastern part of the County,” said Larry Coval, vice president of Cox Business, San Diego. “The County wanted one provider to serve all SDUSD locations … so we developed unique technology platform to extend our fibers and allow us to deliver to schools in and around La Jolla, which is traditionally not close to where we are. This is a landmark achievement.” Schools superintendent Cindy Marten said in a statement, “San Diego Unified students already have access to some of the best technology in education today, but as anyone who has ever left their cell phone service area knows, the best technology is only as good as the Internet service that connects you to the world. Thanks to this partnership with Cox Business, our students will have access to enterprise class WiFi service, allowing them to collaborate with their teachers and peers in amazing new ways.” With this build-out — the largest fiber project the company has undertaken for a single customer in San Diego to date — Cox connects 189 schools in the district with an Ethernet network. “This means the students
and teachers are only limited by their own imagination,” Coval said. Because the project was privately carried out through a Request for Proposal process (RFP), the cost could not be disclosed, but Coval said Cox would, “shoulder the burden of capital cost to deliver the service and schools pay a monthly fee.” He added, “At the end of the day, this is a laudable moment for public and private industry. So many entities had to come together to rally around the cause of delivering this network (to school sites) that were desperately in need of higher bandwidth and higher capacity. SDUSD has been a fantastic partner in the process.” He explained that because the players involved were willing to cooperate, the project took less than one year from start to finish, including infrastructure installation. “The normal bureaucracy you might have to go through, we didn’t have to go through,” he said. Some of the construction took place in Bird Rock, during which Cox crews laid new underground fiber cables feeding from centralized hubs (at an undisclosed site outside of Bird Rock) on the public right-of-way under La Jolla Hermosa. They’ll bring those fibers into La Jolla schools to provide Internet service. Paula Zamudio of Cox public relations said via e-mail, “All construction in the La Jolla area is complete ... no further work is required. The actual ‘turning on’ of the schools is a coordinated effort between the district and Cox Business and is still being finalized. We anticipate this will be soon, but do not have a date to share.”

Ralph Edward Allen
May 15, 1949 - October 21, 2016 La JOLLa — Ralph Edward allen, longtime La Jolla resident, passed away unexpectedly at his home on October 21, 2016, at age 67. Ralph was born on May 15, 1949, in Cresskill, New Jersey, the second son of Larry and Margaret allen. The family moved to Glendale, California, when Ralph was six months old. Ralph attended Glendale schools through high school, graduating from Herbert Hoover High School in 1967. as a member of Boy Scout Troop 4 he took great pride in earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Ralph attended California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo and graduated with a degree in Industrial Engineering in 1971. Ralph went on to complete a Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering at the
University of California at Berkeley. Upon completion of his master’s program, Ralph went to work for Procter & Gamble in Modesto, California, then was promoted to corporate headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. In Cincinnati he experienced his first tornado. a few years later Ralph was transferred to Green Bay, Wisconsin. During his time in Green Bay Ralph took up
skiing and he remained a Cheesehead, Packers fan for the rest of his life. The winters are cold in Green Bay, and one winter day Ralph received a phone call from an executive recruiter about a potential job opportunity with General Dynamics in San Diego. Ralph flew from Wisconsin to California bundled up against sub-zero temperatures. He landed in San Diego to weather in the 70s. In the parking lot was a bus draped with a banner: “General Dynamics Ski Club: Mammoth or Bust.” He often told the story that he decided right then and there, if offered the job he was going to take it regardless of how much it paid. Ralph accepted the job and worked for GD for several years where he proudly helped develop the Tomahawk missile. He left GD for a new
opportunity with SaIC, then, after several years, joined Cubic Corporation. Ralph loved dogs, especially his Weimaraner, Greta. He enjoyed skiing, SCUBa diving, and running and riding his bike on the boardwalk. He was a member of The Bachelors Club of San Diego. Ralph is survived by his brothers, Wendell of Ventura, California, and Tom of Glendale, California. He is also survived by two step-daughters, ashley Baldassi of Los angeles and Bailey Baldassi of South Lake Tahoe. a celebration of Ralph’s life will be held on December 3, 2016, at 10:30 aM at Calumet Park, La Jolla.

Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine have shown that ustekinumab, a human antibody used to treat arthritis, significantly induces response and remission in patients with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. Results of the clinical trial appeared in the Nov. 16 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. “A high percentage of the patients in the study who had not responded to conventional therapies were in clinical remission after only a single dose of intravenous ustekinumab,” said William J. Sandborn, M.D., professor of medicine at UCSD School of Medicine and director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at UC San Diego Health. “Finding effective new treatment options for this patient population is critical because Crohn’s disease can dramatically impact a person’s quality of life. Patients suffering from this disease may go to the bathroom up to 20 times a day and experience abdominal pain, ulcers and a reduced appetite.” Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract that affects approximately 700,000 people in the United States. Crohn’s disease is usually treated with glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists or integrin inhibitors. “The drawbacks of these therapies include an increased risk of infection and cancer, and limited efficacy,” said Sandborn. “Ustekinumab has not been associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events.”

The filmmaker, Becky Cohen, best known as photographer of the Getty Center’s Robert Irwin Garden in Los Angeles and the gardens of André Le Nôtre in Paris, has known Cutler-Shaw since the 1970s, when they were both graduate students in the early, glory days of UCSD’s Visual Arts Department. “I was 20 years old and running around in cutoffs and long, loose hair: a non-druggy flower child who liked thinking so much she never wanted to ingest anything mind-altering,” Cohen SEE ARTIST, B3

said. “Joyce — 15 years older than I — came to class dressed like Jackie Onassis: little black dress, pearls, high heels. Nevertheless, we fell in love with each other’s brains and became very good friends from then on.” Cohen had originally done a documentary on Cutler-Shaw for “UCSD Conversations” in 1991 and thought it was high time for an update. Lynn Burnstan, UCSD-TV’s Managing Director, agreed, and assigned John Menier, an award-winning Arts and Humanities producer, to handle the shooting and editing. The November screening brought old friends and local artists together to celebrate Cutler-Shaw. In his introduction, University Librarian Brian Schottlaender praised her as “wicked smart, gracious, and generous with her time, her art, and her money.” Lynda Claassen, Director of the Library’s Special Collections, called her “a fierce, independent spirit,” and, in fact, the film’s title comes from Act 3, Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” where Helena describes Hermia: “Though she be but little, she is fierce.” These days, though the onset of Corticobasal Degeneration has slowed down her speech and mobility, Cutler-Shaw’s mind is as sharp as ever. “All my work is about three things -- survival, evolution and transformation,” she says in the film. “The life cycle and death of the human body, and hope and the cosmos itself.” “She is Fierce” shines a light on her impressive body of work, honoring her as an artist, a humanist, and a true Renaissance woman. The UCSD-TV staff were so pleased with the documentary that they asked Becky

captured the elusive “green flash” Monday, Nov. 21, through the legs of the Scripps Pier. According to wikipedia, green flashes and green rays are optical phenomena that sometimes occur right after sunset or right before sunrise. When the conditions are right, the green flash is viewable because refraction bends the light of the sun. The atmosphere acts as a weak prism, which separates light into various colors. The green spot is visible above the upper rim of the disk of the sun. It usually lasts for no more than a second or two. — Greg Wiest

Revisit lesser-known Christmas traditions
C
hristmas celebrants participate in many different traditions year after year, but some may not fully understand the meaning behind such activities. A Christian holiday, Christmas did not originate with all activities centralized to the church. In fact, many of the traditions people hold dear have pagan roots, which were adapted as Christmas celebrations evolved. People who hang mistletoe in doorways may be surprised to learn that this tradition dates back to the ancient Druids. The Druids believed mistletoe possessed mystical powers that brought good luck to the household and warded off evil spirits. Evergreen trees are now associated with Christmas trees, but evergreen boughs were once
used to decorate homes during the winter solstice to help people envision the spring to come. Christians often look at evergreen trees as a sign of everlasting life and their relationship with God. However, while many Christmas traditions continue to be an integral part of annual celebrations, there are some customs that have fallen out of favor. Although these traditions may no longer be widely practiced, anyone can revive them and make them part of their holiday celebrations. Wassailing is a custom that has ancient origins and is not as popular today as it once was. “Wassail” comes from the Ango-Saxon phrase “waes hael,” which means, “good health.” Wassail is a drink made of mulled ale, spices and other ingredients. To go wassailing meant to
travel door-to-door singing and offering a drink from a wassail bowl in exchange for gifts. Wassailing has been mentioned in certain Christmas carols, including “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” Largely an English tradition, wassailing was brought to America by British settlers. January 17th, the old Twelfth Night, is the traditional date for wassailing. Although wassailing has largely fallen by the wayside, increased interest in ales and craft brewing may help revitalize this Christmas tradition, which can inspire community spirit. Gifting with fruit cake is another tradition that has been much maligned and does not enjoy the same popularity that it once did. Fruit cake is a cake made with chopped candied fruit, nuts and

spices and is occasionally soaked in spirits. Fruit cakes have been enjoyed all over the world, but Americans may never have embraced the Christmas fruit cake tradition as much as those from other countries. However, with the right recipe and an open mind, it may be possible to resurrect the fruit cake tradition once again. Mummers plays are another British tradition that arrived in North America with settlers but has largely fallen by the wayside. Mummers plays involved miming folk dramas, and the plays were commonplace around the holiday season. Traditions passed on through the years help make Christmas a favorite time of celebration. People may want to explore the less popular traditions today and once again make them interesting parts of this year’s festivities.

Showing Small Businesses the Love
More consumers than ever are aware of Small Business Saturday & Plan to Shop Small
A
cross the country, small businesses and consumers alike are getting excited to support their favorite local, independent businesses on Small Business Saturday, which takes place this year on Nov. 26. Results from the fifth-annual Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey, released today by the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) and American Express, show that more consumers than ever are aware of Small Business Saturday (58% vs. the previous high of 55% in 2015). More than six in ten (62%) consumers who are aware of Small Business Saturday and who plan to shop locally on the day say the main reason they plan to shop at small retailers or eat at independently-owned restaurants is because they value the contributions small businesses make to their community. “Since its inception, Small Business Saturday has brought national attention to supporting the local businesses we love,” said Elizabeth Rutledge, Executive Vice President, Global Advertising & Brand Management at American Express, which founded Small Business Saturday in 2010. “Small Business Saturday reminds consumers of how valuable small businesses are to our communities, and we are incredibly proud to be the founding partner.” Held annually on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday was founded by American Express as a response to small business owners’ most pressing needs: getting more customers through their doors, rallying communities to support local businesses and helping kick off a successful holiday sales
period.
Planning to put their money where their mouth is
Of consumers who are aware of Small Business Saturday, 89% agree that the day encourages them to Shop Small all year long, not just during the holiday season. Nearly eight in ten (79%) consumers say they are willing to pay slightly more for an item if it is purchased from a small, independently-owned retailer as opposed to online or at a large retailer – on par with last year. And just how much are they planning to spend? Of those who are aware of Small Business Saturday and planning to shop and dine on the day, two-thirds (67%) say that they plan to spend at least $100 at small businesses on Small Business Saturday – a slight increase from 2015 (65%). Among U.S. consumers, the Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey found: • On average, one-third (33%) of their holiday shopping this year is expected to be done at small retailers or restaurants – on par with last year. • 76% say they will visit at least one small business as part of their overall holiday shopping, on par with last year. • Additionally, 91% reported that supporting small, independently-owned bars and restaurants is important to them. “Small businesses across the nation are often run by the friends, family and neighbors that we know so well, so supporting them is not only personal but critical to their success,” said NFIB CEO and President Juanita Duggan. “Partnering
with American Express to promote the awareness and importance of shopping small is something we are very proud of, and this year, we look forward to another successful Small Business Saturday.” Additional findings from the Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey include: • 63% of consumers who are willing to pay slightly more for an item if purchased from a small, independently-owned retailer as opposed to online or at a large retailer say that in exchange for paying a higher price, they expect better customer service from small, independently-owned businesses. • Nearly half (48%) of consumers who are aware of Small Business Saturday and who plan to Shop Small on the day say they expect to spend more on Small Business Saturday this year than last year – up from 45% in 2015, and the highest amount yet recorded. • Consumers who are aware of Small Business Saturday and who plan to shop on the day say they plan to support many different types of small businesses on the day, including clothing/accessories/shoe stores (45%), restaurants/bars/pubs (41%) and bakeries (39%).
Neighborhood champions and the Small Business Saturday Coalition drive excitement for the day
Grassroots support for Small Business Saturday is largely driven by Neighborhood Champions, a program of advocates for Small Business Saturday comprised of small businesses, business
associations, local Chambers of Commerce and other community organizers who help to rally their neighborhoods on the day. To date, more than 6,400 Neighborhood Champions – an increase of 56% percent from 2015 – have signed up to plan activities and events to draw consumers to commercial districts across the U.S., leading up to and on Small Business Saturday. In fact, 45% of consumers who are aware of Small Business Saturday and who plan to shop say they plan to attend a community event in celebration of the day. Another important group that drives participation on the day is the Small Business Saturday Coalition. Led by Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), the Small Business Saturday Coalition was created in 2011 to help amplify the Shop Small message. The Coalition is comprised of national, state and local associations that help coordinate Small Business Saturday activities with merchants, consumers and small business owners.
About Small Business Saturday
Nov. 26 is the seventh annual Small Business Saturday. Dedicated to supporting local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy, and preserve neighborhoods around the country, Small Business Saturday was created by American Express in 2010 in response to small business owners’ most pressing need: getting more customers.

The history of holiday lights
H
oliday celebrants employ holiday lights in various ways. Certain individuals may be content to hang lights on their Christmas trees and call their decorating complete. Others may get their holiday jollies by making sure each square inch of their home is covered in twinkling lights. Still, other people prefer the more subdued effect of lights framing one picture window of the house. The tradition of Christmas lights stretches back to early modern Germany when people used candles to decorate Christmas trees in Christian homes. Those candles were harbingers of what would come when electric lights replaced gas and other open flame illuminating devices that were commonplace prior to the 20th century. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the first successful practical light bulb, also created the first strand of electric lights that would be used in holiday decorating. By 1880,
Edison had standard incandescent light bulbs well sorted out and desired a way to better advertise his invention, so he decided to make the most of the holiday season and put his light bulbs on display. According to a 2003 article in American Heritage magazine titled “The Wizard of Your Christmas Tree,” Edison strung incandescent bulbs all around the compound of his Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratory. Edison constructed an eight-mile underground wiring system in order to power this grand light display. Because the laboratory was situated along the railroad that passed between Manhattan and Philadelphia, thousands of people were able to see the display. The concept of electric holiday lights took a bit of time to catch on. Edison’s friend and associate Edward Johnson was tasked with stringing together colored lights in 1882 and placing them on an evergreen tree. Johnson hand-wired 80 red, white and
blue light bulbs. In 1895, President Grover Cleveland requested the White House family Christmas tree be illuminated by multi-colored electric light bulbs. In 1903, when General Electric began to offer pre-assembled kits of holiday lights, stringed lights were reserved for the wealthy and electrically savvy. For example, in 1903 a single string of electric lights cost $12, or around $300 today. It would take several more years before holiday lights became a national tradition. On Christmas Eve 1923, President Calvin Coolidge began the country’s celebration of Christmas by lighting the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse located south of the White House with 3,000 electric lights. Today, illuminated strands of lights have become a large part of holiday celebrations and have even been adopted for use during various year-round events. Such lights can be a beautiful and festive addition to many celebrations.

Stravinsky’s ‘Psalms,’ headline December Symphony & Chorus concert FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) presents the second concert of its 62nd season, Dec. 3-4, showcasing two very different approaches to the symphony. Music Director Steven Schick conducts the orchestra and chorus in Igor Stravinsky’s “Symphony of Psalms” and orchestra in Beethoven’s 6th Symphony. The program also includes the premiere of Thomas Nee Commission winner Kevin Zhang’s “new true mirrors, furrowed, flooded, extended quite far,” and Iranian-American composer Gity Razaz’s “In the Midst of Flux.” • Stravinsky wrote the choral masterwork “Psalms” in 1930 for the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO). Stravinsky’s choral symphony was one of a series of new works BSO’s Music Director, Serge Koussevitzky, commissioned to commemorate the occasion. (That set of commissions, which produced works by Hindemith, Prokofiev, Copland and others in addition to Stravinsky, is the most impressive in the history of music.) When his commission arrived, Stravinsky had been thinking of composing a large-scale instrumental and vocal work. He turned to the Old Testament and set text of Psalms, sung in Latin. Stravinsky gave equal prominence to the chorus and orchestra in his composition, and made some unusual decisions about instrumentation to give the symphony its unique sound. First, he eliminates violins, violas and clarinets from the orchestra to intensify the music’s “archaic” sound. He also includes two

BILL DEAN
pianos and a harp, using them percussively to create the symphony’s characteristic “pointilistic” sonority. “It is not a symphony in which I have included Psalms to be sung,” he said. “On the contrary, it is the singing of the Psalms that I am symphonizing.” • Kevin Zhang, a Ph.D. composition candidate under Roger Reynolds at UC San Diego, has had his music performed in music festivals in Europe, Puerto Rico and the United States. His latest work, “new

BILL DEAN
true mirrors, furrowed, flooded, extended quite far,” commissioned by LJS&C, sets select text from “The Book of Thousand Eyes” by Lyn Hejinian. The music consists of four interwoven recursive canons plus a lullaby. Scored for the same unique instrumentation as the Stravinsky, Zhang adds a treble choir and two solo violins, featuring LJS&C co-concertmasters David Buckley and Peter Clarke. • Gity Razaz’s music has earned numerous national and international awards. “In the
Midst of Flux” (2009) is her first piece for large orchestra. It won the Libby Larsen Prize in the 28th International Search for New Music, along with several other accolades. The piece is rich and textural, with long linear lines in the strings and shimmering use of winds, brass, piano and percussion, dancing in and out of tonality. Born in Iran in 1986, Razaz moved to the U.S. as a young adult. She attended The Julliard School on a full scholarship, earning a bachelor’s and master’s in music composition. • Beethoven’s 6th Symphony, the “Pastoral,” was completed in 1808 and is one of his few containing programmatic content. Each movement is headed by a descriptive title that seems to tell a “story” — the arrival in the country, impressions beside a brook, a peasants’ dance interrupted by a thunderstorm, and a concluding hymn of thanksgiving once the storm has passed. Some have claimed that romantic music begins with the Pastoral Symphony. Written in classical form, Beethoven said this work is “more the expression of feelings rather than a painting,” and leaves listeners “to imagine the composer’s intentions.” Though less fiery than his 5th Symphony, composed the same year, the 6th aims at the same feeling of transcendence. ■ If you go: The concerts begin 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, in Mandeville Auditorium at UC San Diego. Tickets are $29 general, $27 senior and $15 student. Parking is free. A pre-concert lecture by Schick is offered one hour prior. (858) 534-4637. lajollasymphony.com

The American Dream and the American Shame Earlier this year, Neal Gabler wrote a watershed article published in The Atlantic, entitled “The Secret Shame of Middle-Class Americans.” The author and screenwriter described the moment in which he read a poll conducted by The Federal Reserve that revealed that a staggering number of Americans—46%—did not have the financial savings to cover an emergency of $400 or more, and Gabler realized that he was one of those people. This was a shocking discovery for many economists who saw signs of otherwise general financial stability. But this lack of
financial savings has a couple of sources. For one, it’s hard to plan for emergencies such as illnesses or accidents, changing interest rates, changing mortgage rates, a housing market collapse, losing a job or your child not qualifying for financial aid for college. However, the most significant cause is that most Americans aren’t saving the way they did when savings peaked in the 1970s. Banks have changed the way they give out credit, and increasing numbers of people rack up tremendous debt on credit cards to make purchases and even pay bills. The term that is used for the increasing number of people who fall into this category is “financially fragile.” Most Americans are more willing than ever to talk about depression, anxiety, stress, and medical issues—but they are ashamed to discuss financial problems because financial insecurity is so loaded with shame-inducing stigmas. For one thing, the American Dream is predicated on the notion of financial security, of the idea that anyone who works hard enough can be “successful.” Though economic instability has affected a wide
swath of the American population over the last decade, contributing to financial fragility, many people still feel the stigma dogging them if they aren’t successful—it must appear to others that they do not work hard enough, even if that is hardly the truth. This financial shame leads to stress, and here is where the numbers begin to reach epidemic proportions: 22% of adults in the United States surveyed by the government said that they felt extreme stress over their finances, which is an already high number; however, almost 75% of adults reported some financial stress that affected their lives. And many of them are working hard and still not making enough to pay cost of living expenses, pay off debts, and then save. Another layer to the problem is that wages, benefits, and retirement packages aren’t what they were in decades past. People may be making enough to barely cover monthly expenses, but they are not able to accrue any net worth. The housing market is partly to blame, but low interest rates also mean that having a savings account doesn’t have quite
the same incentive it did over a decade ago. And average net worth for households is actually dropping—by 38% between 2003 and 2013. Banks have been pushing credit cards, and consumers rack up initial debt when interest rates are low—however, in many cases, banks can charge whatever interest they want, and so credit card customers may all of a sudden see their interest charges skyrocket by 10 or even 15%. At this point, the credit card debt can become unmanageable, and customers’ monthly payments are only going toward the monthly interest, without paying down the actual debt. However, it is still the choice of the consumer to run up the debt—and consumers understand their culpability in this. But recognition of the source of the problem doesn’t alleviate the shame.

The artistry and opulence of the Timken’s ornaments collection is exemplified by these works of art.
Multimedia Showcase
Something new for Timken’s traditional ornament display FROM MUSEUM REPORTS The Timken Museum of Art will present its annual, stunningly beautiful Hord and Schlappi ornaments, but this time it partnered with San Diego State University School of Theatre, Television and Film to create a multimedia showcase to display these holiday treasures. Faculty and graduate students infused the holiday tree decoration tradition with a dash of creativity to come up with their concept, engineer the design and seamlessly display the ornaments among the Timken’s tapestries. The ornaments will “interact” with the museum patrons, masterpieces and newly installed central seating area. The ornaments — bursting with glittering gems, swirls of colors and whimsical designs — were created by local artists Florence Hord and Elizabeth Schlappi, starting in the 1930s, and were inspired by their San Diego roots, personal interests and travels. In 1959, Florence invited family friend Elizabeth to aid her efforts, and together they grew the collection to more than 1,400
ornaments in the course of 80 years. Creating the elaborate designs and patterns — even for a single piece — requires from two days to two weeks to complete. Among the most-treasured ornaments are an eight-inch sphere of beads and sequins displaying a proud Burmese peacock, and an ornament dedicated to the San Diego Zoo’s first panda. “The partnership with the Timken is yet another example of how collaboration benefits students and the community,” said Joyce Gattas, SDSU Dean of the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts. “Our students are provided an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom, and the Timken is able to present a state-of-the-art installation for the community's enjoyment." ■ IF YOU GO: The display will be on view Dec. 2-31 at The Timken Museum of Art in Balboa Park. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and noon to 4:30 p.m. Sundays. It is closed Mondays and holidays. Admission is free. (619) 239-5548. timkenmuseum.org

2 Greens, 7 Films + 1 Rock Band kick off ArtPower’s Filmatic Series LET’S REVIEW BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT am Green and Brent Green are not related, but they’re both filmmakers, each known for creating multimedia performances that combine inventive cinema with storytelling and music. And both were onstage for “Live Cinema” Nov. 9 at UCSD’s Qualcomm Institute, narrating their films while a band provided the live soundtrack on drums, keyboard, marimba, two guitars and a cello. This “immersive storytelling” experience opened ArtPower’s 2016-17 Filmatic Series, initiated by film curator Rebecca Webb and now in its fourth season. The inaugural Filmatic Festival in April 2014, featured four days of screenings and workshops exploring the future of film and the changing nature of the audience experience. “Things will definitely be more interactive,” Webb said at the time. “What’s onscreen will only be one part of the experience. With the Filmatic Festival, we’re providing an arena for people to share the joy of participating in a variety of immersive, multi-sensory, collective experiences.” This time, the focus is on “expanded cinema” — film accompanied by live narration, music and performance. “We’re presenting artists who are transforming the traditional movie theater experience,” Webb said. On Nov. 9, the eve after Election Day, the two Greens certainly did some transforming. ArtPower Executive Director Jordan Peimer set the tone of the evening by recalling a time when, on a trip along the Silk Road, he and a number of strangers gathered together around a fire and started sharing stories. That was a good part of the mood created in the theater at Atkinson Hall, with Sam

The next Filmatic, Feb. 14 will feature ‘Manual Cinema: Lula del Ray.’ Green’s gently humorous storytelling style contrasting nicely with Brett Green’s darker, more poetic, revved-up, nouveau-Beat raps.

itself was a treat, a chance to hang out with a small gang of friendly indie creatives. From here, the Greens’ “Live Cinema” goes on to the Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and ArtPower’s Filmatic Series continues with two more immersive performances this season: “Manual Cinema: Lula del Ray” (Feb. 14) and “Miwa Matreyek Double Feature” (May 3). The future is now, with Filmatic. ■ For more about upcoming programs: Visit artpower.ucsd.edu

Let’s Make-A-Sparkleball
A
lex Finlayson of Pacific Beach launched Make-A-Sparkleball, the first kit to contain everything needed to craft the ornament built from holiday lights and plastic cups. Her website sparkleball.com has provided free, step-by-step instructions since 2005, and now handles kit sales. “So many people love sparkleballs, I wanted to invent a way for anyone of any age or craftiness to put one together. No tools required,” she said. Her surfing buddies at La Jolla Shores beach helped her refine production methods and scour Chinese markets for the magic clip that connects the cups into a sphere. “My front yard is always full of sparkleballs and my neighbors are very tough critics,” she laughed. She said people all over the world send her photos of their handmade sparkleballs. She also connects the #sparkleball global community through Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. (A sparkleball-maker in Poland is the illustrator behind the instruction sheet and logo.) “People often ask why I don’t make sparkleballs to sell,” she explained. “You simply can’t imagine this bunch of plastic cups transforming into a magic ball of light until you do it. The fun is in the making — and in seeing someone’s face when they plug in their sparkleball.”

Crash course in Thanksgiving leftovers
A
friend recently confided in me that she purposely buys a skimpy turkey, usually under 10 pounds even if she’s hosting a crowd so that she doesn’t have to deal with leftovers, especially day-old breast meat that could double for Styrofoam, and a bulky carcass that takes over the refrigerator, along with family members squawking at monotonous post-Thanksgiving meals. Tisk, tisk, the rest of us are salivating over creative recycling of roughly 48 million turkeys coast-to-coast, and yummy sides. Here’s some ideas for re-inventing the turkey and trimmings to suit palates of all ages and tastes, along with some leftover warnings for our four-legged friends. Teen Taste Buds: Even picky eaters will love remakes of their faves from turkey mac and cheese, turkey fingers with ranch or zesty chipotle dipping sauce and turkey sliders to sourdough turkey melts or grilled cheese, and turkey-veggie topped pizzas. Dough-Re-Mi: Elegant sides, appetizers and main dishes can be whipped up in a snap with prepared artisan pastries and doughs. Construct a savory turkey and Portobello strudel, a turkey and cheese Stromboli, or turkey wellington with flaky golden puff pastry. Use paper-thin phyllo dough for a turkey twist on Greek spanakopita with spinach and feta cheese. Or traditional pie-crust dough for a Thanksgiving quiche or autumn-inspired roasted root vegetable and turkey pot pie. Globe-Trotting Turkey: Look no further than around the world for culinary influences for holiday leftovers. Olé with a fiesta of south-of-the-border turkey quesadillas, tostadas, tacos, burritos or mole turkey over mashed potatoes. Whip up Italian-style dishes, including turkey and butternut squash lasagna, turkey and Tuscan kale risotto, turkey and eggplant Parmesan, or a turkey and farro salad with cherry tomatoes and rosemary. Try a Mediterranean-themed Persian stew of chopped turkey, ground walnuts and pomegranate paste, or Greek salad tossed with chunks of turkey breast, black olives, and baby cucumbers. How about all-American turkey Cobb salad, a hearty turkey chili, Shepherd’s Pie, or Sloppy Tom’s. Have a yen for Asian with a turkey stir-fry, or turkey scallion lettuce wraps with soy-ginger dipping sauce. When Turkey meets Grease: For those who are not cholesterol-conscious, some pan-fried delights include mashed or sweet potato and chopped turkey pancakes, spring rolls stuffed with shredded turkey and bean sprouts, turkey hash a-go-go, or turkey empanadas with aioli dipping sauce. Souped Up: Simmer a pot of homemade turkey bone broth using the carcass, drumsticks and wings for an immune-boosting oomph especially as flu season looms. Use as a base for gumbo, lentil, tortilla or Vietnamese Pho or add shredded breast meat, assorted roots, egg noodles, or matzo balls for a substantial main meal dish. Serve with a variety of sandwiches from chopped turkey and dried
Turkey Salad with Dried Cherries ■ Ingredients: • 1-pound roasted turkey breast, pulled from bird in bite-size pieces, skin removed • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (I prefer olive oil-based), adjust to desired consistency • 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries • 1/2 cup celery minced, strings removed • 1 teaspoon fresh herbs, chopped (tarragon, cilantro, basil, Italian parsley, your choice) • 1 scallion, thinly sliced • 1/4 teaspoon each turmeric, ginger, cayenne pepper ■ Method: Add ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Blend well. Serve on challah rolls or bread of choice. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
cherry salad on sweet bread (recipe above) to turkey BLT on toasted rye. A Good Egg: Get crackin’ with some creative breakfasts using organic eggs and chopped turkey as the mainstay. Incorporate asparagus, red peppers, wild mushrooms, or broccolini into an impressive frittata; Monterey or Pepper Jack cheeses into a scramble or omelet. Swap out the pig for the turkey in Eggs Benedict, or combine eggs with chopped turkey, jalapenos, tomatoes, and cumin with a side of queso fresco for Huevos Rancheros. Get Saucy: Create zippy condiments by blending mayonnaise or stone-ground mustard with chunky cranberry sauce to dial up turkey sandwiches. A splash of Grand Marnier in the sauce makes a tipsy topping for ice cream sundaes, waffles or French toast. Or add a few spoons of sauce to breakfast smoothies, muffin or scone batters for a touch of tartness and rich ruby color. Turkey Time-out for Miss Whiskers and Bailey: Emergency veterinarian visits spike around Thanksgiving time as unsuspecting pet owners feed human kibbles to their cats and dogs that are dangerous to their digestive systems. The turkey meat might be safe, but the skin seasoned with herbs, onion and garlic can severely harm your pet’s health, particularly the pancreas. For that same reason avoid stuffing, along with cranberry sauce with its load of sugar, while grapes and raisins are also toxic. Finally, turkey bones can easily splinter and cause serious internal injuries.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN On a mission to teach people about the traditions rooted in Chinese culture, Sophia Wang will offer the first of a monthly workshop on Chinese tea ceremonies and calligraphy, 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26 at La Jolla Riford Library. Spanning two hours, part one (3 p.m.) will focus on the history of Pu-erh tea, followed by a traditional tea ceremony, and part two (4 p.m.) will focus on the evolution of Chinese calligraphy. The workshops will continue the fourth Saturday of the month at the 7555 Draper Ave. library, starting in January. “I want people to better understand Chinese culture. I’m Chinese and proud of that, but people (both Chinese and not) have lost their interest, and I want people to know more,” Wang told La Jolla Light. As part of the traditional tea ceremony, which she said can be peaceful and meditative, Wang said she will offer Pu-erh tea because of its historical significance and unique flavor. “The tea tastes different from a green tea or black tea you might find here, and is made in the Yunnan Province of China, my hometown. It’s grown high in the mountains and is fermented over several years,” she explained “It’s a little bit like wine in that really good tea takes 10 years to make and the color is similar to red wine. Also like wine, you taste different things each time you drink it or depending on how young it is.” Because of its fermentation, some age varieties even taste like mushrooms. “It’s good for controlling weight and overall health,” she said. “In China, a couple of hundred years ago, they really enjoy Pu-erh tea, so the best tea gets sent to the emperor. The Pu-erh tea ceremony would often involve playing a stringed instrument, and when people participate, everyone is very quiet and takes the time to think and relax,” she said. In a separate class Wang will also share the history of Chinese calligraphy. “Most people think Chinese characters are hard or randomly assigned to mean certain words.
COURTESY
Sophia Wang sets up a traditional tea ceremony, similar to what will be held at La Jolla Riford Library. I’m going to show how the characters have evolved from the drawings of thousands of years ago to today.” Wang, an instructor at the San Diego Chinese Academy housed at La Jolla Country Day School, is also an artist with a booth of her paintings at La Jolla Open Aire Market.
