Rec Center board OKs bocce court installation Donates $7,000 to get the balls rolling

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON In what could end up as an early holiday gift to the community, the La Jolla Park & Rec, Inc. (LJPR) board voted to approve the purchase of bocce ball equipment (not to exceed $300), and the funding and installation of a bocce ball court (not to exceed $7,000) at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. With approval at its Oct. 25 meeting, acting LJPR chair Mary Coakley Munk said: “We can get moving on this in the next month or so.” In the interim, Rec Center director

Nicole Otjens will acquire a tournament set of bocce balls for adults and a play set for children, which can be checked out like other recreational equipment (ID required) with the games played on grass. The next step is getting the court constructed. The tentative location will be the Rec Center front lawn, parallel to the Draper Avenue sidewalk. Coakley Munk said in order to get people there “who really want to play the game” and to create enthusiasm for the sport, the LJPR board needs to “put it in a prominent place — and there’s nothing that says we can’t put it somewhere else when we redo the playground.” In the event of a Rec Center festival or special event, the bocce ball court could be covered

and secured, and effectively become a stage. Early cost estimates, according to Coakley Munk, are $5,000 to $12,000. LJPR will contribute $7,000. La Jolla residents who attended the September LJPR meeting, and who regularly play bocce ball in Little Italy, have reportedly committed to donations for some of the cost. Costs could also be mitigated by having Boy Scouts donate their time to construct the court as a service project. It would likely be made with a decomposed granite to ensure a smooth surface. LJPR trustee Hobe Schroder questioned why the court could not be made of grass, to further reduce costs. “I play bocce ball on grass and this is a lot of money to commit. I

don’t think we should rush into this. I agree we should have it, but let’s start with a court on grass,” he said. In response, bocce supporter Lee Carver said, “While bocce is playable on grass, if we’re trying to introduce people to the game, having an actual court adds something. If you play on un-bordered grass, you don’t get the same feel. In tournaments, you want to play the rails. It adds a whole new dimension. The smoother the surface, the better the game.” A motion to support the financing and installation passed 6-2-1. — More information and a progress report will be given at the next meeting, 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29 (a week later than the regularly scheduled meeting to accommodate Thanksgiving) at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

Seven assaults reported in La Jolla recently Seven physical altercations took place in La Jolla within the past few weeks, many including attacks by an unknown assailant that police do not have in custody. The first was reported in last week’s La Jolla Light, and involved a homeowner on Cuvier Street who discovered an intruder in his backyard and detained him on his property until police arrived. The two fought as the intruder tried to escape. The intruder’s motive was unknown, and he has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and other charges. Here is a breakdown of the remaining reports in chronological order, with additional details provided by San Diego Police Officer Billy Hernandez. ■ The first took place near the border of La Jolla and Pacific Beach, when at 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18, a victim was challenged to a fight by a patron of the Latitude Bar at 5019 Cass St. “The victim told the assailant he didn’t want to fight, but the assailant approached him and punched him in the face. The victim sustained bruising to his left eye area. The assailant was cited and released for battery,” Hernandez said. ■ The next day in La Jolla Shores at 8:57 a.m., an unknown male took approximately $162 worth of merchandise from San Diego Bike & Kayak Tours, 2158 Avenida De La Playa, without paying. Half an hour after the theft, Hernandez said, “the suspect was seen across the street by employees. The victim (who was an employee) confronted the suspect in an attempt to retrieve the stolen property. The suspect struck the victim twice on his right side with what appeared to be a pair of bolt cutters. The victim complained of pain to the right side of his rib cage.

The suspect is not in custody at this time.” ■ On Oct. 21, two assaults occurred, the first at 1:45 a.m. on the 7800 block of Herschel Avenue. “The victim was punched in the face area several times by the suspect, who was known to him. The victim sustained bruising to his face. The suspect is not in custody,” Hernandez said. ■ The second happened at 9:05 a.m. on the 500 block of Pearl Street, where a pedestrian reported being punched by an unknown suspect. “The victim suffered mild soreness to his shoulder,” Hernandez said. “The suspect is not in custody.” ■ At 10:15 a.m., Monday, Oct. 23, a victim was chased by a knife-wielding suspect on the 600 block of Pearl Street. The suspect was known to the victim, and was taken into custody soon after the incident. ■ Lastly, at 7:05 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 24, an unwanted suspect entered a house on the 5700 block of Bellevue Avenue. “The victim heard a noise coming from the front yard. The victim opened the door and observed the suspect, who was a former resident, standing by some bushes. The suspect walked passed the victim shoving him aside and entering the residence. Inside the residence, the suspect made verbal threats to the victim. The suspect left the residence before officers arrived on scene and is not in custody at this time,” Hernandez said. Drugs and/or alcohol are not listed as a factor in any of these reports.

SIO Director Margaret Leinen, Nico Nierenberg, Charles Bolden, Jr., Victoria Nierenberg

The audience listens to former astronaut Charles Bolden, Jr. discuss the future of space exploration, the night he receives the Nierenberg Prize, Oct. 17, at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

2017 Nierenberg Prize goes to Charles Bolden, Jr. BY WILL BOWEN The Nierenberg Prize is given out annually by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and the William A. Nierenberg Family to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to science in the public interest. The prize was “founded” in 2001, a year after the death of William Nierenberg (1919-2000), a renowned national science leader who was also the longest-serving director of SIO (1965-1986). Nierenberg, a professor at UC Berkeley before coming to SIO, was an expert in

several fields of underwater research and warfare, and was known for his work in low-energy nuclear physics. He was the recipient of many honors, worked on The Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb, and was the first chairman of NASA’s Advisory Council. His family, including his widow, son, daughter and grandchildren, set up an endowment to honor his memory and award a prize to recognize a fellow scientist who made a significant contribution to the public good. The first recipient was Edward

Osborne Wilson, the world’s leading expert on ants. Other Nierenberg Prize winners have included Walter Cronkite (2002), Jane Goodall (2004), Sir David Attenborough (2005), and La Jolla’s own, J. Craig Venter (2007), who was the first to define the human genome.

2017 Prize Winner: Charles Frank Bolden, Jr.

This year’s prize went to Major General Charles Frank Bolden, Jr. (USMC retired), a former astronaut and National Aeronautics

and Space Administration (NASA) chief administrator. Bolden, age 71, was born in 1946 in Columbus, South Carolina. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and was a Marine Corps pilot who flew more than 100 combat missions in Vietnam. Bolden spent 34 years in the Corps, including 14 as a member of NASA’s Astronaut Office. He was America’s first African-American astronaut, traveling into space four times aboard the Space Shuttle between 1986 and 1994. Bolden commanded two of the Shuttle

missions and was the pilot on two others. In one mission, Bolden and his crew launched the Hubble Space Telescope, which is now traveling in deep space, sending back pictures that have transformed our view of the universe. All told, Bolden logged a total of 680 hours in space and was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 2006.

Bolden’s work at NASA

Following his career as an astronaut, Bolden became the 12th administrator of NASA during President Barack Obama’s two terms in office. At NASA, Bolden oversaw its transition from 30 years of Space Shuttle missions to a new era of space exploration with the International Space Station, as well as space and aeronautics technological development. He led NASA in developing a space rocket and Orion spacecraft that will carry astronauts to deep space destinations, such as asteroids and the planet Mars. Under Bolden, NASA sent the Curiosity rover to Mars, launched a space craft to Jupiter, and continued progress toward a 2018 launch of the James Webb Telescope, which will be the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Bolden was given the Nierenberg Prize on the evening of Oct. 17, at the Robert Paine Scripps Forum, which is a small SIO auditorium that overlooks La Jolla Shores beach. SIO director Margaret Leinen introduced the event and acknowledged the family of William Nierenberg in attendance, including widow Edith, son Nico, daughter Victoria, and two grandchildren. Victoria told some amusing stories about her dad, a man she said “was interested and

Jacques Cousteau, Bill Nierenberg in the 1960s excited about everything.” Then Bolden, who was accompanied by his wife, spoke about “An Instrument of Soft Power: NASA International Cooperation.” “Wow!” he led off, “I just want to say thank you to the Nierenberg family and Scripps director Margaret Leinen. I must say I was quite intimidated to receive this award because it meant I would have to live up to the reputation of Bill Nierenberg, who was a legend in his field!” Bolden next saluted the famed SIO oceanographer Walter Munk, now age 100, who was seated in the audience, smiling.

Bolden on Bolden

Bolden called himself “an eternal optimist” who sees his role as, “helping people ponder questions, but not so much answer them. I want to help people address questions such as: Are we alone in the universe? What else is out there? Are there other forms of life in the universe? Are there other habitable planets?” Bolden also said he wanted to encourage

people to recognize our own beautiful planet. “Our planet needs you,” he said. “We need your imagination, your ingenuity, and your cooperation. This is Spaceship Earth and it’s the only one we have, and we must work together to take care of it. But the best, and perhaps most meaningful, view of Earth is from space. We must continue on with space exploration. It is one of the keys to having a better future. We must expand our human presence in the universe.” Bolden went on to discuss the direction, accomplishments and current projects of NASA. He said that after the Challenger exploded in 1986, NASA changed direction to focus on the Space Station, technology development, public/private, and international cooperation. “We have 17 years of human habitation on the International Space Station, 250 miles up into space. Astronauts from many different countries have lived and worked there successfully,” said Bolden. He further mentioned Juno, a satellite that is completely powered by solar energy, and

Osiris Rex “a project where we will send a space ship to orbit the asteroid Benuit. The space ship will eventually descend to the surface of the asteroid and without actually landing, extract a soil sample. Then we will have soil material that came from outside our solar system!” Regarding the James Webb Space Telescope, he said, “it will travel a million miles away from Earth and undoubtedly transform our view of the universe, much like the Hubble Telescope has.” As for the mission to Mars, Bolden said, “President Obama challenged NASA to get to Mars. I’m confident we can do it. I see humans living and working on Mars. Mars will be our stepping stone to the rest of the universe. My hope is that we will eventually find signs of life or habitable planets out there.” He concluded his talk with a challenge to young scientists. “I especially want to encourage the young people in the audience to study hard, work hard and not be afraid of failure. You are the ones who will take us into our future.”

SOHO names most endangered historic resources For update on Red Roost and Red Rest cottages, see story, A18 FROM SOHO REPORTS Save Our Heritage Organisation’s (SOHO) “2017 Most Endangered List” reveals the persistent neglect of historic buildings and sites throughout San Diego County. The 30th annual list includes 10 that are threatened with demolition or irreparable damage by development, deterioration or lack of maintenance. Eight of the historic resources are carried over from last year. Balboa Park, Presidio Park and the shamefully deteriorating Red Roost and Red Rest cottages in La Jolla are among these, and they are in even greater jeopardy than a year ago, due to indifference and neglect. This should be a clarion call to residents, community and business leaders, and government officials to take action before these and other irreplaceable historic places that inform and enrich our lives are lost forever. Here is why these buildings and places matter: ■ Presidio Park, Old Town: This National Historic Landmark is a decaying and unkempt embarrassment, especially in light of San Diego’s approaching 250th anniversary of its founding in 2019. This site should embrace its place as the “Plymouth Rock of the West Coast.” In 1769, a Spanish expedition founded not only the first mission in Alta California here, but also the presidio, port and town of San Diego. Civic visionary George Marston commemorated this feat by purchasing this site almost a century ago. He commissioned architect William Templeton Johnson to design the Serra Museum on the hilltop. The building and Serra Cross are severely deteriorated, the magnificent park sculptures are littered with food and broken bottles, and key elements of the John Nolen-designed landscape are nearly dead. Along with restoration, a comprehensive landscape management plan using the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s standards must be adopted.

■ Balboa Park: Its historic buildings, gardens and vast cultural landscapes are in dire need of long-deferred maintenance. In addition, large museums, such as the San Diego Museum of Art and Museum of Man, are said to be overdue for earthquake retrofitting with an estimated $500 million needed to execute the work. ■ SDCCU Stadium: Designed by Frank L. Hope Associates, it opened in 1967 as home to the Chargers, Padres, and San Diego State University Aztecs football team. Innovative design features include the pre-cast concrete, pre-wired light towers, and spiral concrete pedestrian ramps. The novel form of the stadium (eight concentric circles) provides excellent sight lines. The stadium received an American Institute of Architects Honor Award in 1969 for outstanding design. ■ Red Roost and Red Rest Bungalows, La Jolla: These 1894 redwood beach cottages are the last of a cluster of simple vacation cottages and an artists’ colony built on a hillside overlooking La Jolla Cove. They are considered the forerunners of the Arts & Crafts bungalows that are still home to many in San Diego’s older neighborhoods. The cottages’ dismal fate of severe and illegal neglect has been the focus of SOHO’s longest-running preservation battle, stretching more than a quarter century. City code requires the owners of unoccupied historic buildings to maintain them in “a manner that preserves their historical integrity.” Yet, the ravages of time and weather have brought these cottages close to collapse and the City has done nothing. ■ Southwestern College Mayan Modern Gymnasium, Chula Vista: The College intends to demolish, instead of adaptively reuse, its distinctive Mayan Modern style gymnasium to construct a new math and science building. Architect George Foster, whose firm Kistner, Curtis and Foster designed the college campus in 1961, created this Mayan-influenced Modernist building in homage to California’s pre-European history. ■ Hillcrest Commercial Core: Neighborhood character is rooted in a variety of architectural styles, such as Mission

Revival and Art Deco, and people still live over the stores. Now, a group of commercial property owners has formed the Uptown Gateway Council to push for a 200-foot-height limit so they can build highrises that would dwarf most of Hillcrest and eliminate its past. ■ California Theater & Caliente Racetrack, 1122 4th Ave.: This abandoned Spanish Revival theater was heralded as the “Cathedral of the Motion Picture” when it opened with 2,200 seats in 1927. It later became a concert venue due to its fine acoustics. The theater is threatened with demolition, along with the 1960s racetrack mural on the rear wall that promised entertainment at Tijuana’s Agua Caliente Racetrack. The developer rejected proposals to restore and reuse the building, and intends to replace the landmark with highrise residences. ■ Granger Hall, 1615 East Fourth St., National City: Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it was built for private concerts and to house Colorado silver magnate Ralph Granger’s violin collection. Granger hired architect Irving J. Gill, for this unusual commission, completed in 1898. Gill employed his knowledge of acoustics to achieve outstanding results. Another feature is the 75-foot ceiling mural with musical Greek gods and cherubs painted on linen by New York artist D. Samman. The hall also contains a pipe organ with a carved fretwork grille of kiln-dried cedar ■ Teachers Training Annex No. 1, 4193 Park Blvd.: This 1910 Italian Renaissance Revival beauty in University Heights is deteriorating under the ownership of the San Diego Unified School District for records storage. Community leaders have suggested this property, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, could be adapted for a neighborhood library, language school or art studios. ■ Barrett Ranch House, Jamul: Built in 1891, this two-story farmhouse is severely deteriorating. The wood façades and architectural elements, such as double front porches and a bay window, are still painted barn-red with white trim, as is the large barn next to the house. It appears vandals have stripped the interior. — sohosandiego.org

All-Over La Jolla

The Jewel can boast many pop culture references BY COREY LEVITAN a Jolla has been celebrated in pop culture since 1911. In fact, many La Jollans may be unaware how often their daily lives intersect with the landmarks that inspired popular books, songs, movies and TV shows.

Literary La Jolla

L. Frank Baum, author of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and a frequent La Jolla vacationer in the early 1900s, made La Jolla the setting for 1911’s “The Sea Fairies” and its two sequel short stories. Baum never named his idyllic setting, concentrating most of the action underwater, but there were undeniable clues. Trot, the heroine, lived in a small cottage on bluffs above seven caves resembling those at La Jolla’s Crocodile Point, in a town with a small bay and fishing fleet “nine miles from the railroad station” downtown. Likewise, mystery author Raymond Chandler situated his final book, 1958’s “Playback” in La Jolla without mentioning it by name. Featuring his popular fictional detective, Philip Marlowe, the novel included many obvious La Jolla landmarks that still exist, including the Marine Room, opened in 1941 (which he renamed “The Glass Room”). But, for some reason known only to him, he called the town “Esmerelda.” Chandler — who once referred to La Jolla as “a reluctant suburb of San Diego” — lived the last dozen years of his life in a house on Camino de la Costa and died at Scripps Memorial in 1959. In 1965, Tom Wolfe spent somewhere between a few days and a month, depending on who you believe, supposedly observing a group of La Jolla teenagers who surfed and drank at WindanSea Beach and called themselves the Mac Meda Destruction Company because they earned money by tearing down unwanted barns for farmers. Wolfe had what he considered a better name for them, conferred because they hung out around La Jolla Water System Pump House 21 at the foot of Gravilla Street. The results appeared in a 1966 magazine article and as a part of Wolfe’s 1968 book of collected stories called “The Pump House Gang,” foisting La Jolla onto the radar of the East Coast intelligentsia for the first time. But Wolfe’s New Journalism style, shared

Mystery novelist Raymond Chandler lived out his final years at this house — long since modernized — on Camino de la Costa. by Hunter S. Thompson and Gay Talese, emphasized style over truth. Thus, the eccentric writer took liberties with many facts, beginning with combining two separate groups into one — the underage pump-house kids and the Mac Medas up the street. “He was writing a story about Mac Meda by talking to the wrong guys,” said Doug Moranville, owner of the Branding Iron T-shirt printing shop and a Mac Meda member since the ’60s. “The people who were at the pump house at the time really had nothing to do with anything. He was interviewing the kids who were just getting their feet wet.”

La Jolla in music

La Jolla’s modern musical roots trace back to a dubious Mel Torme rhyme in 1957. The Velvet Fog’s 30-minute “California Suite,” which name-checked his favorite cities, includes the lyrics: “La Mesa, what a place-a” and (get ready, it’s bad) “La Jolla won’t annoy ya.” It wasn’t until The Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ U.S.A.” in 1963 that most of America would be taught how to pronounce (and spell) our town. The megahit placed The Jewel front and center when Mike Love sang of surfing,

as if you didn’t know, “all over La Jolla/at Wa’imea Bay.” Last year, Love told the Light he used to visit La Jolla with his parents on their bi-weekly trailer cruises down to Ensenada. Love called it “one of our favorite places to have lunch.” In 1986, a nasty diatribe against UC San Diego and two other University of California campuses (UCSB and UCLA) was released by the otherwise-cool alt-rock band Camper Van Beethoven. Called “(Don’t You Go To) Goleta,” it contained the lyrics: “Baby don’t ya go/don’t ya go to La Jolla/I’ve been there and I’ve seen their attitude/They don’t like folks who are not like them.” Ouch. The protagonist in Brad Paisley’s 1999 song, “I’ve Been Better,” got a promotion that included a transfer “to La Jolla right on the ocean.” And now, he sang, “I’m makin’ more money than I can stand.” And there’s no deciphering whether the dense lyrics to British alt-rock band Jesus Jones’ 2001 song, “The Rocket Ships of La Jolla,” praise or haze us: “The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away/Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery/And you are the captain, going without me.”

PHOTOS BY COREY LEVITAN

Let’s go with praise.

Small screen presence

OK, so La Jolla isn’t exactly Hollywood South. In modern times, it hosted the 2011 season of MTV’s “The Real World: San Diego,” and residences here were used to film two 2000 movies: “Bring It On” and Steven Soderbergh’s “Traffic.” “Thor” (2011) did a pickup shot at Black’s Beach and the UC San Diego dorms were used in 2014’s “Veronica Mars.” But that’s pretty much it for major productions, which tend to favor downtown. “San Diego looks like San Diego,” says UCSD communications manager Christine Clark, who handles filming for the campus, “but La Jolla, being La Jolla, looks like the beach, and there are beaches in LA.” Proving the point is Netflix’s “Grace and Frankie.” The popular comedy series is set in La Jolla and stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin mention it often, something La Jollans can and should be proud of. But its beach house is located in Malibu. — Did we miss anything major that you know about? Tell us in a Letter to the Editor for next week by e-mailing editor@lajollalight.com

Parking Under the Rec Center?

Proposal to build underground garage makes the rounds BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON To “green up” La Jolla’s Cultural Zone, provide more pedestrian access around La Jolla Rec Center, and take some cars off La Jolla’s streets, a proposal is making the rounds to create an underground parking structure beneath the La Jolla Rec Center. The Cultural Zone includes La Jolla Rec Center, The Bishop’s School, La Jolla Historical Society, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, The Cuvier Club, La Jolla Woman’s Club, and Bed & Breakfast Inn. Spearheaded by La Jolla contractor Tom Grunow, the project was inspired by the similar initiative to remove cars from Balboa Park. Without specific details, a preliminary presentation was offered by Grunow at the La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board meeting Oct. 25. The board did not vote on the idea, but early feedback from board members was positive. Grunow told the board he was motivated by Ellen Browning Scripps and her quest to promote more vegetation in La Jolla. “I’ve seen the trees be taken out and I’ve seen trees die. I question what Ms. Scripps would think of our stewardship of The Cultural Zone. During a recent walk, all I saw were cars and hardscape,” he said. “I want to take some of the parking off

the street … but in looking at upcoming projects, such as The Conrad (Performing Arts Center), there is going to be a huge need for more parking.” As a solution, Grunow said he would like to construct an approximately 100-space, one-level, underground garage with an ingress on Cuvier Street and egress to Draper Avenue, and remove some on-street parking. “In traveling around the country, I’ve seen parking garages that do not feel like garages. They have high ceilings, epoxy floors and good security.” He added that intuitions in La Jolla already have a system in place where they buy parking spaces in existing garages for their patrons and employees, and a similar opportunity could be here. Grunow said no other details like costs, construction dates or the revenue collecting system, are available, but right now, the outstanding task is to meet with those who might be impacted by the project and see where they stand. “If early feedback suggests this is a good idea, I’ll keep going, but if people don’t like it, I’ll stop,” he said, adding the majority of those he has spoken to are in favor. Early supporters reportedly include Enhance La Jolla chair Bill Tribolet, La Jolla Historical Society executive director Heath Fox, architect Jim Alcorn, board members at La Jolla Woman’s Club, Museum of

FINANCIAL PLANNING

Get ahead by getting started.

Contemporary Art San Diego director Kathryn Kanjo, LJPR acting president Mary Coakley Munk and La Jolla Parks & Beaches chair Ann Dynes. Grunow will continue to meet with private stakeholders before offering larger presentations. He also said he would create a “master plan” and host a design charrette at a date and time to be announced. “I recognize this is a big project, but I think with the right key players, it can be done,” Grunow said. Ready to join in with support, LJPR trustees offered positive comments. Member Jill Peters said, “I love adding more trees to make it a true Cultural Zone. I’m thrilled (by this idea).” Bill Robbins said, “It’s a wonderful idea.” Before casting a formal vote, and in light of the LJPR playground renovation project, Coakley Munk said she would like Grunow to return soon with more information. The underground parking project would need to happen before the board could proceed with any renovations. “It’s important to us that we don’t wait two years to get our (playground renovation) project started,” she said, “On the other hand, if it is going to be a few years before this gets started, that could change our process for the playground.” — LJP&R, Inc. next meets at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Permitters nix Greenberg home plans despite size reduction

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Although it underwent some fat-trimming, the Greenberg Residence project in La Jolla Shores could not garner support in its fourth review at the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) meeting Oct. 24 at La Jolla Rec Center. It proceeds with a no-vote to the La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting Nov. 2. When it was initially presented, the square footage could have made it the largest house by Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the area at .94.

Architect Michael Morton (above center and at right) presents his plans for a ‘large for its lot’ house in La Jolla Shores. Since then, the project’s FAR was reduced to .82. There is no defined FAR maximum in La Jolla Shores, but the overall size of the house still irked some PRC board members.

It’s your community. Know what’s really going on.

Applicant representative Michael Morton seeks to demolish an existing 2,069-square-foot single-story dwelling and construct in its place a 4,301 square-foot two-story dwelling with an 817-square-foot basement, swimming pool and spa at 8276 Paseo Del Ocaso. In explaining some of the reductions, Morton said one bedroom was removed from the plans (now five bedrooms); the size of the family room was reduced; the north side was pulled in two feet to increase the setback; and the front bedroom was pulled back and reduced. Nevertheless, the elephant in the room was the perception that the house would be the largest in the area. “We are not the biggest house,” Morton insisted. “I know we are a little larger on our

lot, however, we have done a great deal to satisfy the perception of the house from the street, which is really the only view most of the community will have of this home — from the street. There was a time when these were all small, one-story, 1,200-square-foot homes. But the neighborhood has changed. It’s more of an urban beach community of larger homes than what once was there.” Morton proceeded to show photographs of other two-story houses in the vicinity. He added, “There’s still some concern that this is a fairly large house, but there are homes scattered around The Shores that are over (or at) 4,000 square feet, so we won’t be the biggest house at 4,300.” As trustees questioned the project’s FAR, which the board cannot consider when

An artist rendering of the proposed Greenberg Residence in La Jolla Shores rendering a decision, Morton argued the project conforms to regulations that are “actually in the Shores Planned District Ordinance.” Because the committee cannot deny a project based on its FAR, the motion to deny support of the project required a bit of wordsmithing. Trustee Janie Emerson made the motion that findings cannot be made “based on bulk and scale in the surrounding area,” which passed 5-1-1.

Two other projects

Presented for information only, plans for the Shteremberg Residence, 8361 Del

Oro Court, call for demolishing an existing 2,875-square-foot single-story residence (with a current FAR of .14) to construct a 5,259-square-foot single-story residence (proposed FAR of .26). The new residence will include five bedrooms, six bathrooms, three-car garage, pool, spa with an additional pool bathroom and a 400-square- foot roof deck. Based on the setbacks, maximum height and relationship to the lot, there were no major objections from the committee. Emerson opined, “I’m not a big modern architecture person, but from the drawings, this is an intriguing-looking house.”

However, the Price/Cohen Residence project, 2045 Lowry Place, touted as a “modest addition,” raised a few eyebrows. It was also presented for information only. The homeowners seek to add 1,254-square-foot second floor addition to an existing 2,432-square-foot single-story residence. Applicant Morton (also representing this homeowner) said, “This project started as a ministerial process. It went through the City, but when it was presented to La Jolla Shores Advisory Board, they determined it is not a minor project. We see it as a modest addition to an existing house.” Trustee Bob Steck disagreed: “You are

adding 50 percent to the property. I wouldn’t call that modest.” Further, concerned with the sparsity of two-story houses in that area, Emerson added, “The other side of the street and some on that side of the street are all one-story houses.” Morton replied, “Those are probably going to disappear in 10-15 years and be replaced with two-story homes.” The information only projects will be heard again at a future meeting. — PRC next meets 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 20 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

San Diego Rec Council policy changes impact La Jolla Rec Center BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON As part of a citywide change in how Rec Councils operate, the La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. (LJPR) board is about to face some “serious” changes to its fundraising operations. The change comes in light of a City Attorney opinion that says all money generated by Rec Centers and Rec Councils is City funds. A resolution amending the City’s “Fee Schedule” went before the San Diego City Council Oct. 31, beyond La Jolla Light deadline. If adopted, on Jan. 2, 2018, any money not spent in individual Rec Center accounts citywide will revert to the City. According to the City Attorney memo sent to San Diego Park & Recreation director Herman Parker, area recreation councils generate funds through participation fees for classes at City rec centers and fundraising activities and “While the City may legally delegate authority to the Recreation Councils to administer funds, this does not mean that the City has relinquished its obligation to administer the funds or its right to claim the funds.” But what of the private donations given for things like La Jolla’s proposed playground renovation and other Rec Center improvements? To make sure that donations do not end up in the City’s general fund, the board is looking to determine how much of its unspent money came from donations, so they could be kept in a separate 501(c)3 non-profit account and used for the intended purpose. “It’s very tricky to actually say what is

So we know how much was donated, but we don’t know how much of those donations were expended. There is really no way to tell how that (donated) money was used. It will take some time to figure out some exact amounts.” For example, recent donations were given to purchase a piano and buy new curtains (already purchased) with the remainder going toward playground improvements. Conversely, another donation from this year was simply for programming and physical building improvements. It is not known how much of that donation was spent. Should the City acquire all LJPR funds,

“That would be a huge concern to me and probably anyone who donated,” opined acting chair Mary Coakley Munk. The City Attorney opinion came at the request of the City’s Department of Park & Rec following an incident in 2015, when a project by the Doyle Recreation Council raised the question about ways Rec Council funds could be used. The resulting legal opinion came in September of this year. Canales explained, as a result, a geographical account would be set up “to ensure that the funds that come into this area stay within this area” and that “Rec Councils will be able to operate independently as 501(c)3 non-profit organizations. The biggest difference is you would be solely responsible for any funds

that come in through donations. (The City) would have no say in it. You could pay for events, you could pay for whatever.” As it stands now until Dec. 31, independent contractors who carry out improvements or miscellaneous purchases are paid through LJPR. Once individual Rec Councils are no longer allowed to accept class fees, the money would go to the account for the geographical area and the contractor would be paid from there. Canales said, “The goal is to continue the Rec Councils in an advisory role, the change would be you would no longer act as a fiscal agent for the City.” — The next LJP&R Inc. meeting is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Red Roost and Red Rest in Pieces

Roadblock to abandoned cottages’ restoration could be cleared next year BY COREY LEVITAN A long-awaited legal decision on the dilapidated historic La Jolla Cove cottages could be La Jolla’s sweetest Valentine’s Day gift ever. A jury trial is called for Feb. 23 in Superior Court, Central Division to resolve a contractual-interference suit filed in September 2014 by a scorned potential buyer of the property. The Red Rest and Red Roost — located at 1187 and 1179 Coast Boulevard — were built in 1894 for George J. Leovy and Dr. Joseph E. Fishburn, respectively. Also known as the Neptune and Cove Tea Room cottages, they are believed to be La Jolla’s oldest still-standing structures. But most current residents have only known them as eyesores, a visual accompaniment to the fecal stink wafting from the bevy of sea lions perched along the shoreline cliffs nearby. In 1967, the cottages were purchased by the hotel next door (then known as La Jolla Cove Motel and Hotel Apartments and today as La Jolla Cove Hotel & Suites). New owner Jack Heimburge, a low-key boot shop magnate, intended to raze the bungalows and build an apartment complex. However, in March 1976, his demolition plans were thwarted when the cottages were designated historic landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places — a designation later also made on the State of California Register. According to a source close to the case, who spoke to the Light only on condition of anonymity, family members blame a lack of

Most community members, however, saw a clear case of strategic neglect. Denied permission to develop as he wished, Heimburge performed zero maintenance on them, which strongly suggested the hope that they would achieve a state of disrepair revolting enough for the City to demand their demolition.

the City’s credit, however, that never occurred — despite a series of mysterious arson fires and cinder blocks thrown through the cottages’ roofs over the years. After Heimburge died in 1998, according to the Light’s source, his real-estate holdings were divided 50/50 between family member Krista Baroudi and Heimburge’s children. But disagreements between the parties, the

source said, led Heimburge’s children to sell their 50 percent of the hotel and cottages in 2014 to a Denver-based real-estate company, Aimco, which owns 2,500 San Diego apartment units. Baroudi then exercised a right of first refusal to buy the Heimburges’ interests, the source said, and entered into a $60 million contract to sell the whole enchilada to La Jolla Cove Shops, an LLC owned by Brian Veit, Peter Boermeester, Terry Arnett, Melody and David Abeles, Rafael and Karla Galicot, Gregario Galicot and Leonardo Simpser. The current lawsuit, filed by La Jolla Cove Shops, alleges that Aimco previously sued to prevent the Heimburges from selling to Baroudi, and that — after a court rejected the suit — Aimco then sent a letter to the escrow company threatening to unwind the sale. This ultimately prevented Baroudi from honoring her contract. Thus, Shops’ lawsuit claims, Aimco “acted wrongfully … to interfere with the performance of the superior contractual rights of others.” In October 2014, the Heimburges completed their sale to Aimco, followed in December of that year by Baroudi. But the reason the Red Roost and Red Rest continue to languish in disrepair is an injunction issued prohibiting any redevelopment of the property, including the cottages, until the case is decided. Various plans for the site came and went over the years. One was to renovate and move the cottages forward on the property

The Red Roost and Red Rest cottagesare the oldest surviving structures in La Jolla, depending on your definition of ‘surviving.’ and build a three-story boutique hotel behind them. But that would have required cantilevering the hotel and building it into the hillside, which scared off development partners. Aimco has its own plans, which it says it is eager to implement as soon as the current legal web is untangled. “Our plans would honor the historic features and significance of the structures,” Aimco spokesperson Cindy Lempke wrote in an e-mail to the Light. “Aimco representatives have spoken to members of the community and to the La Jolla Historical

Society (LJHS) and we understand the historical importance of these structures.” Heath Fox, LJHS executive director, said he takes Aimco at its word. “Since I first contacted them, they’ve been very cordial and understanding and very cooperative,” he said. The Historical Society — along with San Diego’s Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) — has been advocating for this restoration for decades. Each cottage would need to be either restored or reconstructed, according to Secretary of the Interior standards: “as it

appeared at a particular period of time by means of the removal of features from other periods in its history and reconstruction of missing features from the restoration period.” This would be an expensive process that could — depending on the state of rot and mold — necessitate replacing most of the structures, according to Fox. However, that money could be recouped by Aimco via booking fees for the cottages, which could be modernized internally. “They can be very valuable in terms of rental properties,” Fox said. “The cottages

could be a wonderful property for visitors to stay in and for the community.” So there is finally light at the end of this 40-year-long tunnel. But how much longer could the plaintiff’s quest for damages, and subsequent appeals, potentially drag on? The litigation is in its third year, has already been to the court of appeals once, and failed at the mediation table. “There’s no way to tell,” the Light’s source said. “But some decisions will flow out of there.” Cross those fingers, La Jolla.

These ‘You Are Here’ signs will be replaced where needed, and new ones will be posted in La Jolla.

MPA, Coastal Trails signs to be posted in La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON La Jolla Parks & Beaches, an advisory group with a history of opposition to signs along the coastline (some members call them “visual pollution”) is readying for two organizations to bring more signs to La Jolla. The board discussed the 10 signs on the way — part of educational outreach for La Jolla’s Marine Protected Areas (MPA) — and signs to mark the California Coastal Trail at its Oct. 23 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. WildCoast conservation director Zach Plopper explained that the new MPA signs will vary between 12- by 18-inch “You Are Here” signs with the rules of the MPA, and the larger 24- by 36-inch interpretive panels that show the wildlife regulations for that area. He told La Jolla Light that in the “best case scenario,” the signs would be installed by the end of the year. There are four ocean MPAs in La Jolla — from the mean high-tide line and out to sea, the San Diego Scripps Coastal State Marine Conservation Area, the Matlahuyal State Marine Reserve, South La Jolla Conservation Area and State Marine Reserve. The State Marine Reserves are a no-take zone of any living or non-living marine resource. In

Marine Conservation Areas, there are varying take restrictions. “We have to look at how to reach the public and get them on board and aware of what is allowed,” Popper continued. “We’re developing materials like fishing guides and signage. We worked with the Department of Fish & Wildlife to create the content and find the best locations for these signs.” In 2015, WildCoast installed a “You Are Here” sign at Scripps Pier, an interpretive panel south of Scripps Pier, two interpretive panels at La Jolla Shores (one went missing in the El Nino high-tide event) and a “You Are Here” sign at The Cove. “Now, funding has finally come through for a new round. In addition to any other ‘You Are Here’ signs that are identified as a need, others to replace dated or faded signs will also be installed,” Popper said. (Learn more about the MPA program by e-mailing cory@wildcoast.net or at mpacollaborative.org) The other set of signs discussed would mark the California Coastal Trail portions in La Jolla. LJP&B president Ann Dynes explained that The Pacific Crest Trail runs from Oregon to Mexico, and the 1,200

LA JOLLA LIGHT - NOVEMBER 2, 2017 - PAGE A21

California Coastal Conservancy’s California Coastal trail is the corollary to that along the coastline. “The Conservancy is funded by taxpayers and is in the process of identifying the different stretches of coastline that are part of the Coastal Trail. That’s a done deal. The City has agreed,” she said. “I met with (San Diego) Park & Rec representatives to learn about how the signs would be installed so they’re not visual pollution. There are three kinds of signs: a little 6-inch one, 8- by 10-inch ones, and large interpretive ones.” Right now there are no interpretive signs in place and Dynes said any larger signs would be affixed to light structures. “Just because we’ve said we don’t want signs, I feel like we need to deal with these in a more comprehensive way. Signs are a constructive way to show what we have here. Proper signage is a public service and maybe (if people are educated) they will treat out coastline better.” Trustee John Shannon noted that people who do not speak English visit La Jolla and suggested a symbol-based sign, specifically the international red circle with a line through it.

In other Parks & Beaches news:

■ Skate park in a La Jolla park? After trying and failing to establish a skateboard park at La Jolla Rec Center, proponents of a skate park in La Jolla presented the idea to LJP&B seeking another location. An early suggestion is the end of the Fay Avenue Bike Path. Supporter Linda Van Zandt told LJP&B the problem might be that there’s an incorrect

perception of what she and other proponents would like to see installed. She shared photos of a skate park in Leucadia similar in size and design to what she would like. “People think it’s going to be an intrusive skate park. I don’t think any of us want something (huge) similar to what’s in Ocean Beach. That’s not what we’re talking about. It’ll just be somewhere for kids to come and not have to skateboard in the street.” She said she would return to next month’s meeting with a specific location for consideration. ■ Wrack fight continues: Although the City has said it does not have the resources to clean up the wrack (dried seaweed that washes ashore and accumulates on La Jolla’s beaches), and claimed the wrack was never cleaned in an organized way, LJP&B trustee Ken Hunrichs continues his efforts to have it removed. “Whether it was cleaned or not, this notion that we can’t preserve our environment to make it more pleasant, seems a little odd to me. It should be cleaned. If we are concerned about sand flies, there 900 miles of coastline where they can exist. I don’t think Children’s Pool or Marine Street beach will make a difference. There are other areas it can accumulate,” he said. The argument for the wrack removal is that some consider it unsightly, pungent and overly abundant. Those opposed cite its biological significance for area insects and birds. — LJP&B will combine its November and December meetings 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

Two Torrey Pines Elementary School students at the drop-off box for Halloween costumes, last week.

Students share the Spirit of Halloween Torrey Pines Elementary School last week took part in a Halloween costume drive for Second Families, which serves newly arrived refugee families in San Diego. Second Families has some 250 children in their program and most of them never experienced the fun and excitement of Halloween. Over a week-long period, TPES students collected gently-used costumes to share with them. Some students even included handwritten notes. Second Families was able to retrieve the costumes and held a Trick-or-Treat tutorial party for the families a week before the big day. “It was heart-warming to see so many refugee children excitedly trying on costumes and learning about a fun American tradition,” said TPES parent Laila Alikhan. “Many of the children present had seen and been through situations we cannot even fathom. Thank you TPES families for contributing to a noble cause.” Edi Nelson Torrey Pines Elementary School Foundation

Just who does (and who doesn’t) follow the 30-foot height rule? I read the letter in last week’s La Jolla Light regarding the 30-foot height regulation rules in relation to the construction projects on the UC San Diego campus. The resulting Editor’s Note states that UCSD is allowed to violate the 30-foot height limit due to a separate “construction approval process.” It would be useful if the Light would compile a list of “entities” that are allowed to violate the 30-foot height and why. This issue came up in 2015 when SDG&E suddenly installed several 50-foot poles including: two on Torrey Pines Road in the Village, one on Exchange Place, at least two along Torrey Pines Road near UCSD, at least one on Genesee near UCSD, one on Pacifica, and I’m sure many others. We were told by planning consultant Joe LaCava (at a La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting) that the wireless industry does not violate the 30-foot limit, but what is stopping them? I would not be surprised to find that just like SDG&E and UCSD, the wireless

industry decides that they are not subject to this rule either, and we end up with a mess in the coastal zone. David N. Haney

What’s the takeaway on aircraft noise? So I guess my question is what are airport officials and airport committees going to do to resolve this agonizing “noise” issue? We had this problem in the Bird Rock neighborhood 20 years ago. Military helicopters. They stopped after the commander got tired of the non-stop complaints. Low-flying aircraft are so close now along the cliff on Calumet that I can see the pilot’s helmet and face very clearly. They rattle my windows. Where is Walt Hall when we need him? He stopped it within a matter of weeks. God rest his soul. Patrick Magner Editor’s Note: It is not known when the FAA will take any action on airplane noise near the coast. However, the public is welcome to attend the Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) meetings to provide comments. The next meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 20 at Portuguese Hall, 2818 Avenida De Portugal, Point Loma. Read more online at san.org/Airport-Authority

What’s the solution to loud party noise? What can we do about loud party music when the homeowner will not turn down the volume despite requests? It is 1:30 a.m. now on Saturday, Oct. 28 and there’s extremely loud music still playing at a home on Via Capri. There’s a security guard with a gun at the entrance and it looks like 100-plus people at the party. The music carries all around the north side of Mount Soledad. Despite requests from several people in the neighborhood, the music is still playing loud. The police have been called, but apparently they are too busy to respond. What shall we do? Name withheld by request Editor’s Note: According to the City of San Diego’s Quality of Life & Nuisance Issues page at

Muhammad writes that his grandmother stitched the Turkish emperor costume by hand as a gift. sandiego.gov: “While the noise is occurring, call the San Diego Police Department non-emergency number at (619) 531-2000 or contact the Noise Abatement Office at (619) 236-5500. If the noise has ceased by the time the officers arrive, then they cannot take enforcement action unless you are willing to sign a complaint. If you are experiencing an ongoing conflict with your neighbors, mediation is an alternative solution. In mediation, disputing parties meet with trained, impartial mediators to resolve their problems. Neighbors interested in mediation should contact the National Conflict Resolution Center at (619) 238-2400.” Alternatively, a complaint can be filed with the County of San Diego Planning & Development Services department through its noise hotline: (858) 694-3741 or PDS.CodeCompliance@sdcounty.ca.gov

Shame young families can’t use school track I frequently work as a babysitter around The Village and I find it highly inappropriate that the field at La Jolla High School is closed to the public. The fact that I cannot take children there to run around and exercise on the weekends and in the evenings when the school is not using the fake grass is absurd. These kids are future students of the high school yet they are shut out until they enroll? I don’t take them to The Bishop’s School because that school has security and is a private institution, but the fact that I babysit children whose parents paid for the field renovation of the public high school and they aren’t allowed to just run around after a ball on the field is just disgusting.

Vikings KO Komets

La Jolla Homecoming Game ends in Kearny High defeat

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON t was truly a night to celebrate at Gene Edwards Stadium Friday, when the La Jolla High School Vikings football team defeated the Kearny High School Komets 44-18 for their Homecoming matchup, Oct. 27on the Vikings home turf at 750 Nautilus St. The evening began with a Senior Night ceremony, during which all the senior athletes and their families received a moment of recognition. Next came an explosive first half to the football game, when the Vikings led the Komets 34-6. The creative half-time show included floats and the announcement of Homecoming King and Queen, and then the game ending 44-18 against a team that was 7-1 stepping onto the field (the Vikings were 4-4). To take and keep the lead, the Vikings used a variety of offensive techniques, with reliance on junior Gabe Solis, who scored two of the Viking’s first five touchdowns. Showing his dexterity, Solis scored one touchdown by pushing through the defensive line — running those last few yards with a Komet gripping at his jersey — and the other by catching the ball and running it almost 30 yards. Similarly, when others scored, in some cases it was down-by-down progression, and in others, a Viking was waiting in the end-zone to catch a pass. A series of Komet penalties that lead to additional yardage and automatic first downs didn’t hurt. Of the win, Vikings coach Tyler Roach told La Jolla Light he was “really proud of my boys,” and that the game played out as he envisioned. “I knew my boys would play with a lot of emotion as it was both Homecoming and Senior Night!” he said. “We had a great week of practice and went into the game focused and locked in. We had an awesome crowd and I know my boys were excited to put on a show for them. We are excited to get back to work today and keep the momentum going as we prepare for a big contest this Friday against a good University City team, in a battle for the league title.” The Vikings take on the University City Centurions 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3 at 6949 Genesee Ave. ljvikings.com

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS La Jolla surfing legend Bill Andrews passes on La Jolla surfing legend Bill Andrews passed away on Oct. 26. The 73-year-old surfer and photographer had been struggling with Lou Gehrig’s disease. He told La Jolla Light in September that he wished to end his life, and a close friend told the Light that wish was fulfilled. In the 1960s, Andrews was a golden god of La Jolla Shores and WindanSea and became the first to surf Black’s Beach. Andrews also owned the Pacific Beach Surf Shop. As word of his passing spread, friends and fans created a makeshift memorial for Andrews at the famed WindanSea Pump House. “If you like to surf, keep surfing,” he told the Light. “If you like to paddle, keep paddling. Don’t let any small issues get in the way, because, one of these days, a big one will.”

Free heart health tests available for teens, Nov. 12 The Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation and a medical team led by Scripps cardiologist Dr. John Rogers will offer free heart screenings to youth, ages 12-25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 12 at UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive. The health experts will be looking to identify cardiac anomalies that may lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest, with the ultimate goal of standardizing cardiac screenings among youth. SCA is an abnormality in the heart’s electrical system that can be detected with a simple ECG. But ECGs are NOT a part of a teen’s annual well-child exam or pre-participation sports physical. The screening is non-invasive (no needles or X-ray exposure), painless and takes about 30 minutes to complete a health history, ECG and echocardiogram if indicated. Families will be notified of the results for follow-up with their family

Park & Recreation area manager Tyler Canales announced at the La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board meeting Oct. 25 that in the next four to six weeks, SDG&E will replace the switch-gear (the combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment) at the center. Once the switch-gear is replaced, Canales said, any additional rewiring needed will be determined. The electrical wiring has not been replaced since the 1970s, and a massive project to rewire the entire facility was discussed in August 2016.

So my brother, Bob, called me up and said, ‘Bill, you’ve got to help me out!’” Raised in the Altadena suburb of Los Angeles, Bill had only visited La Jolla for short bursts previously. And he had already forged his own identity running the Westlake Athletic Club near Thousand Oaks. But Bill was also newly married, just had his first child and was doing everything at Westlake. “I was the chief cook and bottle-washer, the head tennis pro — whatever needed to be done, I did it all,” he recalls. “I would come home on the weekends, my daughter would look out of the crib and scream, like, ‘Who’s that?!” Ultimately, being told he would only have to work six days a week, from 9 to 5, was all the arm-twisting it took.

They will come, but will they pay to park?

La Jolla Cultural Partners

n Oct.19, the La Jolla Light ran a story by reporter Corey Levitan titled “Westfield UTC’s building it, will you come?” By coincidence, my husband and I had just been up there the week before for the first time since construction began with the intention of making a quick stop at Macy’s. Online shopping may be convenient, but there are lots of items, like clothes, that are really nice to see in person before you buy them. That “quick stop” took 90 minutes. If you’ve been up there recently, you know that the huge asphalt parking lot on the west side of the shopping mall is now gone, replaced by a new Nordstrom and a five-story parking garage that go all the way to the edge of Genesee. We were astonished that at 10:15 on an off-season Thursday morning, there wasn’t a single parking place on the first parking level and hardly a spot on the second. Of course, as it turned out, this wasn’t some random Thursday morning: It was opening day of the new Nordstrom. Phew! Now, keep in mind that when we parked, it was obvious that the parking area was still very much under construction. So hopefully when it’s done, there will be better signage, such as: How To Get Out of Here. Seriously, we and multitudes of others were wandering

around trying to find any sort of exit that would allow us to get into the mall itself. I’ve shopped at UTC literally hundreds of times since it opened in 1977. So it was the eeriest feeling to finally find our way into what looked like stores and not recognize anything, including what direction Macy’s might be in. I had a sudden thought: Is this what dementia is like? To know that you’re supposed to know where you are but don’t? Ironically, once we found Macy’s, our purchase took all of 10 minutes since it was just to buy slacks for Olof. It would have been one minute, but I made him try them on. Now, we should have been able to find our car again, no problem, but we somehow missed one of the store landmarks we’d carefully noted. Once finally back at the five-level parking garage, even knowing we needed Parking Level 2, Section 233, we got totally lost. That is one effing huge parking structure. The new UTC now sports 5,500 parking places. Assuming you could walk by one vehicle every six seconds, failure to note where you parked could take nine hours to locate your car. I e-mailed Corey Levitan after his story came out and regaled him with the story of our trying to find our car. He replied, “That would make a great column, Inga. But you have to work in the ‘Seinfeld’ parking garage episode.”

COREY LEVITAN

Only the first two hours of parking will be free at Westfield UTC mall starting next year. Frankly, I couldn’t remember that episode but I went back and watched it on YouTube. Yes! Yes! Trying to find our car was EXACTLY like that! Thanks, Corey! After the first of the year, Westfield UTC is going to start charging for parking. To add insult to injury, you’d have to PAY for those nine hours looking for your car. I would like to say for the record that I think charging for parking at a shopping mall is a seriously bad idea. First, people hate paying for parking on principle. Secondly, they especially hate paying for parking at a place where they are going to spend money. Third, it would seem you’d want to encourage people to hang around and have lunch or dinner after they’ve shopped. Some emporia will apparently be validating for longer than the two free hours. But who wants to keep track? Fourth, you’re competing with AMAZON, guys! But here is the biggest reason not to have paid parking. It’s unclear if they are going to have humans in booths handling parking payments; more likely it will be those nasty

automated machines. There is always one totally techno-disabled idiot who cannot figure out how to use the machine and holds up the whole line. I know this for a fact because I am that idiot. I hate lip-reading people disparaging my mother in my rearview mirror. But at UTC, the stakes will be much higher. Let’s say people have gotten back to their car with 10 minutes to spare before they have to pay for parking and they get stuck behind me. Can you say “parking lot rage”? Even worse, traffic will be going straight out to Genesee Avenue, a really busy roadway. It used to back up like crazy BEFORE there was a five-story parking garage with each car having to stop and feed a ticket into a machine (or settle up with a human). So, yes, I’ll come. But unless there’s a human to whom I can hand my ticket, I may not come back. At Amazon, no one disparages my mother. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

Rock Cornish Game Hens with Rhubarb Sauce Let’s talk turkey and other fowls for a nontraditional feast: Part 1 “We’re having something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. Instead of turkey, we’re having swan. You get more stuffing.” — George Carlin

either American historians nor food folklorists really know why the geeky, mostly flightless turkey with Styrofoam-textured flesh was designated as the celebratory bird of the Thanksgiving table other than the fact that it is native to America. Pilgrim records of the first Thanksgiving, when the colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared the autumn harvest, describe a Paleo-style menu that included wild turkey along with lobster, mussels, deer, geese, ducks and swan. If you’re tired of the traditional, coma-inducing turkey dinner here’s a round-up of divine birds to grace the holiday table and seduce intrepid palates. Quack, quack, honk, honk. Ducks in a Row: Duck has a slightly gamey, rich flesh that’s completely dark, even the breast meat. Along with a rich store of protein, the juicy fowl contains a load of essential vitamins and minerals, especially stress-relieving B’s, immune boosting zinc, and heme iron, an easily absorbable form of the mineral to ward off anemia and fatigue. Alas, it is also a fatty bird containing a blend

of saturated, mono and polyunsaturated fats (although the latter two have comparable benefits to heart-healthy olive oil). So for the cholesterol-conscious, eat moderately. The most popular breed in the United States is the White Pekin, flavorful without the overpowering gamey taste, along with leaner, more tender meat. The Mallard, a medium-sized wild duck has lean yet greasy tasting flesh that also tends to be a little tough. The Muscovy, which has a strong grass-fed beefy taste is mostly used for its liver to make fois gras. (It’s now legal again in California after a court judgment reversed the statewide ban.) Whatever breed you choose, trim excess fat, score the breast skin and poke with several holes before roasting to create a leaner meat with a crispy flavorful skin. A whole roasted duck with a citrus or port glaze and wild rice pilaf is a festive and luxurious way to celebrate the holidays. Get your Goose On: This succulent waterfowl has been the centerpiece of Christmas tables in Europe for centuries, and would be equally appropriate (and delicious) for the November feast. Like duck, the goose is exclusively dark meat, yet more of a reddish hue reminiscent of a medium rare cut of prime rib roast. But unlike its wild

■ Ingredients: Four 1-pound Cornish hens (rinsed, patted dry); 1 1/2 cups diced rhubarb; 1/2 cup dried currants; 1/4 cup grape juice; 2 oranges, zested, juiced; 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary; 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice; 1/3 cup Drambuie liqueur; 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup chicken stock; 4 sprigs sage. ■ Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine rhubarb, currants, juices, zest, rosemary, allspice and Drambuie in mixing bowl. Set aside. Rub hens with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to roasting pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce GREGORY BERTOLINI heat to 350 degrees F. Transfer rhubarb mixture to roasting pan, spreading around hens. Add chicken stock. Cook 30 minutes or until temperature at thickest part of thigh reaches 160 degrees F and juices run clear. Transfer hens to ceramic serving platter. Place roasting pan on stovetop over medium heat. Bring sauce to simmer. Swirl in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce around hens. Garnish with sage sprigs.

cousin, it has its fat content in and beneath the skin with mostly lean flesh. Most commercial geese are proprietary hybrids reared free-range and grass-fed. For a more tender bird, select a 10- to 12-pounder. Standing advice: Trim excess fat from the neck, and gently pierce the skin with the tip of a sharp knife. Season the skin and cavity with sea salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, fresh sage and thyme. Place the whole bird on a bed of assorted root vegetables and roast in a moderate oven until golden brown. Periodically remove the melted fat from the pan with a basting bulb. Rock Stars: For an intimate gathering,

serve individual Rock Cornish Hens to each guest. This hybrid cross between Cornish and Plymouth Rock chickens produces a miniature bird, both male and female ranging from two to four pounds, while the Cornish Game Hen is a young female that weighs less than 2.2 pounds. These are not game birds despite the name, rather broilers with mostly tender white meat, high in protein and low in calories (about 800). They cook quickly, even when stuffed with traditional wild rice and cranberries, and make an elegant change up from the big old bulky turkeys. The downside, no leftovers.

La Jolla Light earns 12 San Diego Press Club awards

a Jolla Light writers received 12 shout-outs at the San Diego Press Club’s 44th annual Excellence in Journalism Awards night, Oct. 24 at Jacob’s Center. The awards were presented for work done in 2016.

■ Ashley Mackin-Solomon won first place for her report on Elizabeth Blackburn’s visit to the La Jolla Woman’s Club: “Salk Institute President and Nobel Prize Winner Discusses Her Life in Science.” Mackin Solomon also took second place awards for “Neighborhood Watch Programs Become a Force in La Jolla” and “Aggressive Solicitors at Village Stores Irk La Jollans,” and third places for “Stolen Surfboards Returned after Two Years” and “One for The Road: A Series on La Jollans and The Cars They Love.” ■ Maria José Durán won third place awards for “Neighbors Launch Platform to Fight UCSD Expansion,” “Grad Student Rides the Waves to Research Surfers’ Bacteria,” “La Jolla’s Black Pioneers” and “Lights out in La Jolla: Malfunction Results In a Week Without Street Lights.”

La Jolla Light staff received several honors at the San Diego Press Club’s 2017 Excellence in Journalism Awards. FROM BILL KELLOGG, B1 all do connect,” Bill says. “There was a break. We had one branch of the Kelloggs who started a sanitarium, invented cereal as part of their treatment.” According to Bill, his Scottish family name derives either from “keel logs,” meaning they were boat makers, or “kill hogs.” (“I like the first one better,” he says.) Bill calls his side of the family “the newspaper Kelloggs.” They merged with another newspaper (and La Jolla) family, the Scripps, thanks to Bill’s great-grandfather, Frederick William (F.W.) Kellogg, who married Florence Scripps, whose father was the half-brother of Ellen Browning Scripps. (Are you following this? There will be a test.) Born in Cleveland, F.W. was the editor of the Detroit Daily News. He also created a chain of Kansas newspapers. Then he and Florence moved to California, in 1915, to start the Pasadena Evening Post and Glendale News-Press. But, according to Bill, “he got

bored.” F.W. sold his newspapers to the Copley chain and retired, Bill says, spending more time at the family’s summer compound in La Jolla. F.W. had already co-founded the La Jolla Beach & Yacht Club, which had built a pier and dredged a channel into the harbor. So, when winter storms filled in the channel, and the Depression emptied the pockets of his fellow investors, F.W. bought them out in 1935. The idea for a new club direction came from F.W.’s son/Bill’s grandfather, William Scripps (W.S.) Kellogg.

Tennis, anyone?

W.S. was a tennis fanatic who had played at Stanford. “He convinced his dad to install four tennis courts and name it the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club,” Bill says. “And how crazy was that? There were no roads and you couldn’t even get here. You had to take a train from Pacific Beach.” For 34 years, W.S. invited the best tennis pros in the world to play tournaments and exhibitions and stay for free at the club.

Symphony & Chorus to jazz up season launch with pianist Cecil Lytle Germany’s prestigious International Music Institute in Darmstadt. That encounter made an indelible impression. “For this concert with the La Jolla Symphony, we wanted to design the concert around Cecil as a pianist, because he’s extraordinary,” Schick said. “He brings the same intelligence and artistry whether he’s playing Liszt or a jazz standard, and he binds those two genres together.”

Fusing orchestration and improvisation

COURTESY

Pianist and former UCSD professor and provost Cecil Lytle will be the featured guest artist at La Jolla Symphony & Chorus season kick-off concerts, Nov. 3-4 at Mandeville Auditorium.

In commissioning Chodos to compose “Concertino for Two Pianos & Orchestra” especially for Lytle and the La Jolla Symphony, Schick is seeking to further blur the lines between music that is written and arranged and music that is spontaneously created on the spot. Chodos’ piece is written to showcase the written score and the improvised piano solos concurrently. “If there is a false barrier (between jazz and

classical), we’ll certainly tear it down!” Lytle vowed. By also featuring acclaimed trumpeter Richards, 33, at the concerts, Schick is underscoring a continuum within the perpetually forward-looking music faculty at UC San Diego. “Isn’t it wonderful?” he enthused. “In a way, one of the attractions for me is that Stephanie is the future generation of the music department — in the same way Cecil was in the foundational generation of the department — someone with extraordinary polymath abilities and tastes, who also teaches.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Crossing the rue St. Paul” with La Jolla Symphony & Chorus, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4; 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 5 (25-minute pre-concert lectures begin an hour before each performance) at Mandeville Auditorium, 9500 Gilman Drive, UCSD campus. Tickets: $15 to $35. (858) 534-4637. lajollasymphony.com

Blurring musical boundaries

The first is to showcase Lytle’s prowess as a uniquely gifted jazz and classical pianist. The second is to traverse and erase the artificial divisions between the two styles. “Steve wants to showcase notated and improvised music, in order to underscore the false barrier between them,” Lytle explained, speaking from his downtown San Diego home. “The other feature he wanted to capture was Americans who lived and in Paris, like Copland, who studied there with Nadia Boulanger. And he hired a terrific young composer, Asher Tobin Chodos, to try and capture that French-American spirit.” Schick first heard Lytle perform in 1988 at

E WE VERY LC ON OM E E!

BY GEORGE VARGA What’s better than an American in Paris, let alone one with a sterling reputation as a genre-leaping musical maverick and a distinguished résumé in academia at UC San Diego? How about two Americans in Paris, both with sterling reputations as genre-leaping musical mavericks and distinguished résumés in academia at UC San Diego? For good measure, those two mavericks — Steven Schick and Cecil Lytle — will perform George Gershwin’s epic “An American in Paris” this weekend as part of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus’ 2017-18 season-opening concert, “Crossing the rue St. Paul.” The program also includes Gershwin’s equally acclaimed “Rhapsody in Blue,” Aaron Copland’s “Quiet City” and the Duke Ellington classics “Solitude” and “Mood Indigo,” both newly arranged by Tijuana-born composer and jazz pianist Asher Tobin Chodos. Noted young trumpeter Stephanie Richards, a recent addition to the UCSD music faculty, will be the featured soloist on “Quiet City.” As its crowning touch, this weekend’s concert will feature Chodos and Lytle performing Chodos’ “Concertino for Two Pianos & Orchestra.” “I teach a jazz course in Paris every summer for the University of California and Steve came to Paris last summer to perform some concerts. While he was there, we went for walks and talked,” said Lytle, who is the former UCSD music department chair, where he served as the provost of Thurgood Marshall College from 1988 until his retirement in 2005. Schick is the music director of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus. After his Paris visit, he decided to create a special concert — tailored to Lytle’s unique skill set — with two specific goals.

WHY DO OLD PLACES MATTER?

Speaker looks at preservation efforts for Historical Society luncheon BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON ome 100 La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) patrons came together on a bright and sunny Saturday for the annual Ellen Browning Scripps Luncheon fundraiser, Oct. 21 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Guest speaker Tom Mayes, vice president and senior counsel for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, discussed “Why Old Places Matter.” Introducing the event, LJHS board president Judith Haxo reminded guests that La Jolla philanthropist “Ms. Ellen” Scripps, “was a remarkable woman whose character and generosity shaped the La Jolla community. We are all so fortunate that we get to reap the benefits of her foresighted gifts. Her memory issues a challenge to each of us to think about the legacy, however large or small you define community.” To open his presentation, Mayes also spoke to the concept of community, quoting poet George Zebrowski: “The real value of any building to a community lies in its being a delight to the eye, and its susceptibility to human use. People wish to save those things that are familiar to them and which they love.” Mayes’ essays (found online at savingplaces.org) include three concepts that bring a deeper, humanistic point of view to historic preservation, which he abridged for the lecture. He argues that a people-centric preservation movement 1) hears,

understands and honors the full diversity of the ever-evolving American story; 2) creates and nurtures more equitable, healthy, resilient, vibrant and sustainable communities for all people; and 3) collaborates with existing and new partners to address fundamental social issues. Mayes also talked about future partnerships that could lead to changes in the laws regarding historic preservation. “I, like many of you, love old buildings, old towns, historic architecture and historic places. But how does the saving of these places actually benefit people? What difference does it make if we do or do not save these places?” Mayes posed.

Concept 1: Honoring the identity of America

Mayes theorized that people form identities around certain places, such as churches, schools and landmarks. “Old places are a constant in an ever-evolving individual identity and our collective identity, and they provide a sense of continuity in a world that is constantly changing.”

Concept 2: Creating sustainable communities

Citing research, Mayes said old places contribute to sustainability because people walk more in older communities, and, in a world looking to go green, “The greenest

Sharon Smith, Ione Stiegler, Nancy Assaf at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, Oct. 21 building is one that is already built,” he said, quoting architect Carl Elefante. Mayes also listed the sustainability benefits of reusing existing building as: land conservation, reduced fuel consumption, avoidance of the adverse impacts from the extraction and transportation of new materials, and avoidance of new landfill material. “It can take 10 to 80 years for a new, energy efficient building to overcome, through efficient operation, the climate change impacts created by its construction,” he said.

Concept 3: Collaborating with new partners

“What happens when we listen to what our new collaborators have to say?” he posed. “Perhaps if we listen, we can change

our practices, and shape our tools to use old places in a way that most benefits people and most leads to human flourishing.” Looking to the future of historic preservation, Mayes predicts the approach will need to be one that is mutually beneficial to different groups. “Now we’re looking at partnering with environmental groups to create an ordinance grounded in sustainability — not necessarily preservation — but it would nonetheless have profound preservation consequence,” he said. “The proposed ordinance would prohibit demolitions because of their sustainability impacts. If we partner with environmental groups to recognize the ecological benefits of simply reusing older buildings, we may dramatically change the preservation paradigm.”

San Diego Asian Film Fest features 150 flicks this fall BY WILL BOWEN he visual image for this years’ San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) is a 1980s-style neon Tatung rice cooker — an item that means a lot to the Asian-American community, symbolizing warmth, nourishment, and the safety and aroma of home. But the rice cooker is also an image that stands for things boiling over or cooking up, as in anger at social injustice and inequality. Either way you look at it, the rice cooker leads people to the table to eat, argue, talk, converse, complain, tell stories and share secrets — some of which are made into films that chronicle our changing times. This year’s SDAFF, Nov. 9-18 (the 18th annual), is the place where such stories, coming from 20 countries, and spoken in 30 different languages, will be told. Brian Hu, Ph.D., artistic director of the festival, attended UCLA Film School, and sorted through some 1,000 submitted films to choose the 150 that comprise this year’s festival. “I really believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to have their voice heard,” said Hu. “So it just breaks my heart to have to reject so many films. But it’s a necessary part of my job to select the very best films of the year.” Hu is a big fan of the late artist and film critic Manny Farber, who was a professor in the Visual Arts Department at UC San Diego for many years. “Before I start to write up the synopsis of the festival films, I read three of Farber’s articles on film, just to get me warmed up and in the right mood,” Hu said. “Farber was perhaps the best film critic ever. His writing is very clear, yet filled with complex thinking about movies.” Kent Lee, SDAFF executive director, said all the films selected align with the mission of the Pacific Arts Movement, the parent cultural organization from which the festival springs. “(With this festival) we hope to build a sense of a community where people can watch films together and talk to each other about them in order to be more compassionate and understanding of the great diversity of people throughout the world,” Lee explained. Elvin Lai, owner of the Ocean Park Inn in Mission Beach and co-owner of Cork & Craft Restaurant in Rancho Bernardo, was giving out free samples from his restaurants at the festival’s Chew the Scene kick-off event, Oct. 14 at The Brick in Liberty Station. Lai’s been involved with the festival for many years. “My hope is that it will be an opportunity to

The Art that Hitler Hated

Historian gives intensely personal lecture at the Athenaeum

Cornelia Feye

BY COREY LEVITAN Cornelia Feye dances her laser pointer around a slide of German expressionist Emil Nolde’s “The Last Supper.” The art historian explains what Adolf Hitler hated about the 1909 painting. “The crime (Nolde) was accused of was insolent mockery of the divine,” Feye tells a packed Athenaeum Music & Arts Library house of 60 on Oct. 24. The theme of the third of four lectures in Feye’s series, “German Art of the 20th Century,” sounds like fodder for a Mel Brooks movie scene. Why would anyone care what paintings Adolf Hitler hated? But it’s actually a thing. Called “degenerate art” — Hitler’s phrase — it’s been taught for decades in art history classes. And it has deep relevance to the horrors of the Holocaust because Nazism was largely a product of Adolf Hitler’s aesthetic sensibility. The Aryan ideal was heavily predicated on a look Hitler wanted his nation to achieve, one celebrated by his favorite painter, Adolf

Germany, then display 650 of them in Munich to stoke public scorn. But the Degenerate Art Exhibition had quite the opposite effect. Four times as many Germans attended it than the Hitler-sponsored Great German Art Exhibit across the street — two million in four months. “People were astounded at the quality of the work,” Feye said. “It was basically a who’s who of modern art — Marc Chagall, Max Beckmann, Wassily Kandinsky — hardly any great art was exempted.” Most of tonight’s attendees interviewed by La Jolla Light say they came to all three of Feye’s lectures because they love anything to do with art history. “I learned a lot tonight,” says Kirby Kendrick of Mission Hills, who is an artist herself. “I thought the Degenerate Art Exhibition was put on by the artists themselves, as a rebellion thing like the Salon des Refuses in Paris.” But some came because of the Hitler connection.

Ziegler, in his paintings of muscular nudes in the classical Greek tradition; a look that, ironically, Hitler didn’t possess himself. “When Hitler came to power, he immediately started championing art that was important to him,” Feye said before the lecture. “He built a house of art in Munich and he had a large model of the Fuhrer Museum he wanted to build in his hometown. He kept that model with him until the bunker. That’s how important art was to him.” Hitler hated any art that was non-white (including, of course, Jewish), pro-communist, or that lacked realism. (“Sheer insanity” was his label for abstract art.) “He hated pretty much everything except a very, very tiny group of art that he cultivated around himself,” Feye said, “anything that didn’t completely conform to his narrow margins.” In 1937, Hitler commanded Ziegler to rip around 5,000 of the most offensive examples off the walls of art museums all around

Cornellia Feye lectures about Adolf Hitler’s taste in art for a packed house of 60 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. “We have to pay attention to history — that’s the main message,” said La Jolla resident Judy Newman. “I think of what’s happening today, with people following egotistical, self-centered leaders who have charisma.” Many attendees professed not knowing that Hitler was an aspiring painter. He applied to the Fine Art Academy in Vienna, according to Feye, and got rejected twice. (The director wrote that he was unfit for painting and might want to study architecture instead. Hitler couldn’t, because he didn’t finish high school.)

“There is a theory that if Hitler had been accepted at the art academy, maybe the world would have been spared a lot of suffering,” Feye said. “I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to go too far and say it explains the Holocaust.” Although none were murdered by the Nazis, artists fingered as degenerate were forbidden to produce their art, fired from their day jobs and threatened with arrest. Many of their confiscated paintings subsequently went missing; some still are. A decade or so ago, when Feye worked at the San Diego Museum of Art, she said she

was part of a team tasked with determining the provenance of all art the museum purchased from 1933 to 1945. “They wanted to make sure none of it was stolen,” Feye said. “They would ask me to translate some of the source material and witness reports of the Jewish art collectors.” Feye said the team flagged one painting for return, a Peter Paul Rubens she said “had been obtained under questionable circumstances.” Feye’s interest in German art of the Nazi era is intensely personal. The Point Loma resident is German and grew up in the

shadows of the atrocities. Her father and grandfather were soldiers in the German army. “There was no choice,” she said. “What were they going to do? My father was a good person and he was not in the SS. He was just an infantry cavalry man, and he couldn’t refuse. When I was growing up, it was hard to be proud to be a German,” Feye added. “It’s still a national karma.” Feye’s fourth and final German art lecture, “Art of Two Germanys, 1945-1989: The Art of a Divided Nation,” was held Oct. 31 at The Athenaeum, 1008 Wall St.

Beware Phony Treatments for Spider and Varicose Veins It is inevitable that for any medical condition, theories will pop up for how to treat these conditions with home remedies, with cheap and practical solutions that “really work.” Most are schemes hatched by snakeoil peddlers, with no medical background, who are seeking to make some easy money by either pitching a product that can be put together in their home kitchen or can gain them followers (and advertising revenue) on social media. While some phony treatments will just make users look a little foolish, some can even be hazardous to your health. 1. Tomato Slices. Apparently, there is a myth that tomatoes will remedy varicose veins if you slice them and put the slices on the capillaries, then wrap the area with a bandage. This is not true. Putting food on your legs will not cure spider veins. But you may smell like a salad.

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

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

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

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

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

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

4. Supplements. The supplements industry is huge. And of course, it is enticing to imagine that taking natural herbs and vitamins can keep you in the peak of health or even, dare to dream, cure what ails you. However, taking supplements, even the popular Vitamin K and butcher’s broom, will not

7. Aloe Vera is a proven natural cure. Aloe vera is good for protecting cuts while they heal, and it has cooling properties that can soothe the skin. But spider veins and varicose veins aren’t problems of the skin; they are problems of the veins and a sign of a venous disorder. No topical rub or cream can

remove your problem veins. There is no “cure” for spider or varicose veins. By avoiding a visit to a doctor or vein specialist, you could even be jeopardizing your health by allowing a medical condition to worsen. Treatment for spider and varicose veins includes laser treatment and sclerotherapy, respectively, which remove existing problem veins but do not magically eliminate the condition. If you are susceptible to spider or varicose veins, which come from a weakening of the venous walls, there is no potion to reverse these effects. There is no one “type” of person who is prone to spider and varicose veins, and if you’re genetically predisposed to them, chances are good that you will get them in your lifetime. However, to maintain optimum venous health, you can reduce the risk of worsening the condition by maintaining a healthy blood pressure, which means regular low-impact exercise, eating a wellbalanced diet and staying away from foods that can increase blood pressure, and maintaining a healthy weight to avoid additional strain on the blood vessels. If you have more questions about real vein treatments or are ready to consider laser treatment or sclerotherapy, visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com or contact us at 760-944-9263.

The BEST of La Jolla Seniors Helping Seniors

San Diego and Orange County is a family owned business. Sisters Sue Erskine and Doris Dorey and Sue’s daughter, Tricia Izadi own the company. Our Dad (Tricia’s grandfather) is our inspiration for launching Seniors Helping Seniors. He was an active, successful businessman who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Despite the illness he retained a positive outlook on life and a wonderful sense of humor. As the illness progressed our family personally experienced the challenges and rewards of being caregivers and providing respite for our stepmother who lovingly cared for our Dad at home. We were fortunate to ﬁnd two wonderful, senior caregivers who enriched our Dad’s life, providing companionship and allowing him to continue activities he loved, including golf and walking. Our personal experience led us to Seniors Helping Seniors as we saw ﬁrsthand the tremendous value that caring seniors can make in the lives of one another.

‘Of Mice and Men’ brings chilling dramatic portrayals LET’S REVIEW BY DIANA SAENGER cornucopia of North Coast Repertory Theatre talents has created a versatile, moving experience in their latest production, Steinbeck’s mighty, “Of Mice and Men.” Richard Baird, founding Artistic Director of New Fortune Theatre Company, who fills many positions behind and on area stages, superbly directs. American author John Ernst Steinbeck, Jr. (1902-1968) wrote “Of Mice and Men” in 1937. The story reflects his time on ranches in small California communities where he had plenty of time to discover how the ranchers and farmers lived.

The dark tale focuses on two characters — the magnificently portrayed George (Jacob Sidney) and Lennie (Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper). However the entire cast is totally immersed in their roles and present their characters to the audience as if Steinbeck himself is telling the story. Set during the Great Depression, the tough migrant ranchers work hard for their money. George doesn’t work as much because he’s a full-time caretaker of the mentally disturbed Lennie, who likes soft things like rabbits and the fabrics on girls’ dresses. It’s all George can do to not have Lennie keep making the mistakes he made in the past. Ranchers Slim (J. Stephen Brantley), Whit (Justin Lang), and Carlson (Max Macke) portray the workers. Candy (John Greenleaf)

St. Germaine fundraiser set for Wednesday, Nov. 8 A limited number of tickets are available for the St. Germaine’s “Cocktails and Conversation” fundraiser, 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8 at a private home in La Jolla.

Kids’ Turn is an early intervention program impacting children experiencing abuse through exposure to family violence. Children served receive counseling, communication and coping skills, along with being provided a safety net.

is great as the old, timeworn rancher. George comes up with an idea for a better life, but real life intervenes. He’s accused by the Boss’ (Ted Barton) son Curley (Wallace Bruce), of touching his wife (Sierra Jolene). Things escalate when Lennie visits Crooks (Laurence Brown) and a tragic incident jeopardizes the jobs of the ranchers. The design team has done a great job with staging that breathes life into every moment of the play. ■ IF YOU GO: “Of Mice and Men” runs through Nov. 12 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets: $45-$56. (858) 481-1055, northcoastrep.org

(There is a La Jolla location at 7650 Girard Ave.) Each year, the need for toys grows as parents work several jobs to pay rent and provide food, often not having anything left over for special gifts for their children.

through April 15, 2018, and is included with regular Give Forward admission and on view from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily at 1649 El Prado. Curated by Gaidi Finnie of the San Diego African-American Museum of Fine Art (SDAAMFA), the works were chosen for their expansive range mediums and expressions. “ ‘Legacy in Black’ is an opportunity to begin the process of preserving the work of these and many other artists,” Finnie said. “These featured eight artists are tremendously important to the local arts community and as well, major contributors to the visual arts legacy of AfricanAmerican art in San Diego.” They include living artists Manuelita Brown, Jean Cornwell Wheat, Kadir Nelson and Faith Ringgold, and the deceased Rossie Wade; Ernest Eugene Barnes Jr. whose 1971 painting “Sugar Shack” was used by Norman Lear for the groundbreaking African-American sitcom “Good Times” closing credits; Albert Fennell and Charles Rucker, who during his 17 years in the San Diego Police Department, served as a composite artist and community relation’s assistant to the police chief.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - NOVEMBER 2, 2017 - PAGE B21

PHOTOS BY COREY LEVITAN Peter Gieblewicz and Maritza Skandunas investigate the haunted hallways of the Grande Colonial Hotel in La Jolla with their ghostly gear.

FROM HAUNTED HOTEL, B1 light lace dress named Abigail Trent. (Supposedly, before filing this incredibly specific ghost report, the nurse didn’t believe in the paranormal.) But no sweet, harmless Abigail identified herself to us. The spirit here was named Ann. Or at least that’s what the voice told us. It also gave us the names Abe and Brent. Skandunas asked how many were gathered around us? The answer was 11. (I should have booked a bigger room.) The device is called a Ghost Box Ovilus. It assigns a couple thousand words to environmental readings. Thus, sentences can be constructed by electromagnetic-field fluctuations. “It’s always slow at first, as the spirits learn to use it,” Skandunas said. “But once they figure it out, they can get really chatty.” There were mentions of “prohibition” and “purgatory.” “Israel” came up more than any other word, about five times (making me wonder if it sensed I was Jewish). Then Giebliewicz announced he saw shadows outside in the hall and asked if an entity wanted to be let in. (“Correct,” the Ovilus said, so he opened the front door.) But the most impressive evidence of the supernatural, to me anyway, came two minutes after I opened a curtain to peer outside. “Curtain,” the Ovilus said. Skandunas explained: “They don’t like light.” Reports of paranormal phenomena are frequent and consistent at the Grande Colonial. Opened by A.B. Harlan and George Bane as The Colonial Apartments and Hotel at 910 Prospect St. on Feb. 1, 1913, the La Jolla Cove landmark became an eventual favorite of celebrities including Groucho Marx, Charleston Heston and Gregory Peck (whose dad ran the onsite pharmacy). The conference room that served as the original building’s lobby once stood in as a World War II barracks. And many people died here over the years, according to receptionist Jesse O’Brien. “Last week, there was a woman who left in the middle of the night because she freaked out,” O’Brien told us. “She said she had a pitcher of water and nothing was in it, and when she woke up in the middle of the night, the pitcher was full.” When I mentioned this assignment for La Jolla Light to Skandunas, she jumped at the chance to participate. She and Giebliewicz brought along their tools — which also included the Wonderbox (an Ovilus competitor), a talking teddy bear, EMF readers and divining rods.

“I’ve felt spirits since I was four years old,” said Skandunas, a North Park native. “They were all around my bed. They would grab my ankles and pull me out of bed sometimes. I’d scream to high heaven and my mom would run in.” Skandunas, a devout Catholic, started San Diego Ghost Hunters in 2003. She says the scariest thing she ever encountered was at the William Heath Davis House, where she used to work as a historian before retiring. “I saw a man sitting between the doors,” she said. “I could see his head and body and his legs went out and were crossed. And every time I took pictures, he wouldn’t show up. Then all of a sudden, he was laying flat on the ground and he turned into a cricket. And he started scurrying real fast towards me. So I screamed and he went right through me.” Skandunas is a sweet lady who seems to believe what she says, and there are plenty of facts that science can’t explain about the universe that seem even creepier than Stephen King stories — such as entangled particles and what existed before the Big Bang. But that doesn’t automatically render Stephen King stories all true. When faced with a choice, I will throw in with science every time. “Upstairs,” the Ovilus said. Drats, I was afraid of this. Right outside Room 508, there is a long stairway ascending into pitch blackness. On the way into the room, Gieblewicz glanced at it and said even he was scared of what he felt there (and he doesn’t look like he would be scared of anything). “I feel some heavy activity up here,” Gieblewicz said as we climbed the stairs (and by “we,” I mean them, with me trailing far behind). A landing speckled with old chairs, and a view of the roof, slowly revealed itself. That’s when a little girl screamed — quite clearly — and I descended quite quickly. It’s entirely possible that Skandunas and Gieblewicz are full of it — that their parlor tricks come pre-programmed with creepy words and that more relevant responses can be typed in, without a journalist noticing, in a dark room. It’s possible that the girl’s scream came from one of the occupied rooms and that all the hot and cold spots we simultaneously felt in the hallway — oh, did I forget to mention those? — were just hot and cold spots. At least that’s all the stuff I told myself as I tried falling asleep after Gieblewicz and Skandunas concluded their investigation and headed home, declaring the Grande Colonial definitely haunted but not nearly as

much as the William Heath Davis Home or the Whaley House Museum. Around 2 a.m., unable to sleep due to the newly acquired significance of every unexplained old-hotel creek, I scrolled through the photos I took earlier. This did not help me sleep. The one of the doorway, when Gieblewicz invited the spirit in, featured a white orb I hadn’t seen while taking the photo. At that point, I switched on every single light in the room as bright as it would go (since I hear they hate light) and cuddled like a frightened toddler with my king-size down pillow. Whether or not you believe in the paranormal is an issue entirely separate from trying to sleep in the same room where people have spent two hours saying things like: “There’s a little girl here, hiding in the bathroom. Come out, little girl!”

At 2 a.m., the main light in the room switched off. Entirely on its own. Reconciliation was now instantly required between my scientific worldview and the OMG! definitive supernatural evidence unfolding before me. This was no longer just entangled-particle creepiness. This was Abigail about to hop into bed with me, all brown hair and lace, for some alone time now that those annoying others went home. Before surrendering to this world in which the monsters I feared in my closet as a 10-year-old were probably all there, however, it occurred to me to summon the courage to walk across my haunted hotel room to investigate the light switch. It was on a timer. San Diego Ghost Hunters can be summoned by e-mailing info@sandiegoghosthunters.com. There is no charge for the service.

Asian Real Estate Association of America gives La Jolla a thumbs up AREAA (Asian Real Estate Association of America) recently hosted its annual national conference in San Diego. More than 1,500 AREAA members engaged in panel discussions and breakout sessions with real estate industry leaders to discuss the role of Asian investment in the U.S, and in particular, in San Diego. HGTV home improvement stars, Jonathan and Drew Scott, headlined the conference, which “showcased the rapidly growing importance and influence of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community in business and real estate.” Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty and The Brett Dickinson Team took a lead role in welcoming AREAA members to America’s Finest City and hosted them at their new international office on Prospect Street in La Jolla. Dickinson and his team also introduced La Jolla to more than 50 AREAA professionals with an exclusive tour. MUSE La Jolla, the new uber-luxe residences, and Blue Heron Design and Build, two of Sotheby’s signature partners for contemporary properties, also played host. “AREAA members on the tour were suitably impressed with our jewel of a city, its real estate and gorgeous coastline,” Dickinson said. “Many noted that La Jolla, in particular, was as well-known as downtown San Diego, which pleasantly surprised us. “They were also very impressed with the growth of our cultural centers — the
