ow, four years since the community effort to save the La Jolla Post Office Building at 1140 Wall St., the building and its landscaping are looking pretty tired. Heeding the call to preserve historically-designated sites, the Landmark Group of La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) decided to do something about it. On Dec. 2, volunteers gathered in front of the Post Office to trim the drooping palm trees, revitalize the landscaping, and deck the halls with holiday greenery. RLP Development donated gardening services and helped with project. LJHS board member Seonaid McArthur spearheaded the effort. “My mother used to own a store on this street, and my grandfather used to live across the street, so this is a very sentimental landmark for me,” she said. Work continued throughout the weekend with the restoration and painting of the stairs at the front and the side entrances by volunteer John Peek. — María José Durán SEE POST OFFICE, A8

Parks & Beaches hears plan for Black’s Lookout BY ASHLEY MACKIN Although the sweeping view of the ocean and glimpses of cliffs up the coast of La Jolla from Black’s Lookout is gorgeous and serene, some residents feel the overlook itself is less than dazzling. A project to re-vegetate and spruce it up was introduced at the Nov. 28 La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) meeting at the Rec Center. Black’s Lookout is located north of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, off La Jolla Shores Lane, at the end of a walkway between two houses. LJP&B member Patrick Ahern, with help from fellow member ASHLEY MACKIN Ann Dynes, found a landscape LJP&B member Patrick architect to draft renderings for the Coastal Commission-dedicated Ahern introduces a view corridor.

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
A
fter more than six years of community service, Paul Benton resigned in November from his volunteer position as chair of the Development Permit Review (DPR) committee. Benton went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he earned an engineering degree, and afterward headed to the University of Washington where he earned a second degree in Architecture. He is a registered professional in both fields. The firm Alcorn & Benton Architects was created in 2010, when Benton joined forces with James Alcorn, but he has been building around town since 1987. He’s been married for 41 years to physical therapist Lorraine Benton, and they have four children, ages 29 to 40, three grandchildren and a fourth is on the way.
Where are you from?
“I was born in California and I moved to La Jolla when I was 2 years old, so I feel like I’m from here. I’m a fourth-generation San Diegan, I went and Muirlands and Children’s School when it was Scripps Elementary. I graduated from La Jolla High in 1971, and in my class there was developer Louis Beecham, surfer Rusty Preisendorfer, artist Mark Quint and dancer John Malashock. I remember a big milestone in the mid-1960s when they said the population of La Jolla had hit 10,000. That was a big day! We always had the Christmas Parade and sporting events, the teams and all that. I grew up going to the beach, hanging out there in the summer.”
more crowded and we have to plan things accordingly. I remember that one of our first houses was up near UC San Diego. We were there when they decided to build UCSD and they closed Camp Matthews and built the campus, the library, and the Salk Institute about the same time. We would ride our bikes over and see the buildings ... I went through the library, the big arch building while it was under construction.”
Did that influence you to become an architect?
“I think so, witnessing all those big buildings, and construction underway, I’m sure that’s why I’m an architect now.”
What made you decide to get involved in community service?
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
Paul Benton at Alcorn & Benton Architects headquarters on Girard Avenue in La Jolla
Are you a good swimmer?
“Yeah, I think so, not very fast. I tried surfing, and I’m not good at it, but I’ve been in a lot of the rough water swim events. I also worked rebuilding the WindanSea Surf Shack last year. That was my biggest contribution to the beach community so far.”
“I think working with people in the community is fascinating. Talking to them, at different levels, I see it as educational and informative for the community, but I get so much out of it, too, because I want to be up-to-date with what’s important to the community, in terms of the public spaces and activities, as well as design — that makes me better as an architect.”
What would you like to see in La Jolla’s future?
“There’s so much community concern about preservation of the sense of La Jolla, of what makes it such a great place, and everybody has a different take on what. Is it the How has La Jolla changed over the years? relationship to the environment? The wonderful climate? “It’s remarkable ... I remember when there were dirt streets, The Girard Avenue business hub? the sky was dark at night and not much was happening. Now The work that the merchants are doing right now is La Jolla is a 24-hour community. There are people around that important in keeping downtown La Jolla alive, along with have to be recognized as part of the community, and they everything that happens on the beaches and parks, the trails, have to be, not just accommodated, but welcome, and the preserving the access to the coast. Those are the areas that architecture environment supports that. The world is getting SEE PAUL BENTON, A27

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Scambusters lists holiday scams Last week, La Jolla Light brought you Part One of the scambusters.org list of seasonal scams, which is used by San Diego Police Officers. This week, we present Part Two.
At the cash register
The big idea: There are two here, depending on which side of the counter you’re standing. Shoppers, beware of being short-changed, either intentionally or unintentionally. Cashiers, be wary of the flimflam, where the scammer gives you a high-value bill then tries to change it for a smaller one and generally messes around until you lose track of what’s going on. There’s often an accomplice. How to avoid: Have a clear idea of the total cost before you go to the register and, if you can’t make the right money, know what size of bill you’ll use and how much change to expect. Don’t move away from the register until you’ve checked your change and your receipt. If you’re a cashier, don’t allow yourself to be pressured at the register. If you feel yourself getting confused, call a halt and, if necessary, call a supervisor. Also watch out for: Sleight of hand, where the person you’re paying switches your high value bill for a lower one and complains you haven’t given enough cash; some of your purchased items are not placed in the store bag; the cashier doesn’t return your credit card; forged $20 bills; pickpockets standing too close to you in line.
At your home
The big idea: Bogus charity collectors may come knocking at your door this holiday. Also beware of the “parcel-waiting” trick. You get a card through your door saying an unsuccessful attempt was made to deliver a package to your home and that you should call a particular number for more details. By calling, you’ve connected to a premium line or overseas service, which will be charged at exorbitant rates on your next phone bill. Or you may be asked to provide personal information that could be used for identity theft, or information that would let a thief know when you’re going to be out. How to avoid: Check the name of the company on the Internet. Also check online lists of overseas phone codes. If the number is not a 1-800 or local call, it may well be a scam. Don’t give out personal details over the phone and don’t tell strangers when you’re going to be away. Also watch out for: Unexpected checks that arrive just in time for shopping (they’re bogus and will be accompanied by a request for you to forward part of the cash in a Moneygram); products arrive you didn’t order (you’ll be contacted later by someone who asks you to forward it — it’s probably stolen and you’re the middle-person).
Four vehicles have wheels stolen At least four vehicles have been de-wheeled while parked in La Jolla in recent weeks. On Nov. 29, two other Mercedes Benz cars owed
by the same person had the wheels removed while parked in the underground garage beneath Brooks Brothers retail store. The owner of the vehicles, Bryan Garrie, wrote to La Jolla Light to report, “I got to my car at 10:15 p.m., to find that it had no wheels, no tires, and was dumped on its belly, destroying the underside of the car. … They also broke the window of the car next to mine to steal what they could. Brazen. Imagine if I walked in on them and they were holding lug wrenches in their hands and I was holding a briefcase and nothing else to fight for my life.” Two days later (Dec. 1), another Mercedes Benz had its wheels stolen while it was parked on the street near Coast Boulevard. On Dec. 2, another car parked on Coast Boulevard had its wheels stolen. Unlike the first three incidences, the fourth vehicle was a Hyundai.

4 Home Maintenance Tasks You Need to Tackle in December.

1. Beef up insulation:Check attic insulation to make sure it hasn’t deteriorated or flattened, which will reduce its efficiency. 2. Put up/take down holiday decorations:Before you hang decorations, make sure to replace your old, incandescent light bulbs with LED lights, which stay cooler and decrease fire risk. 3. Get your home ready for guests:Spruce up your guest room for your friends and family. Launder sheets and blankets for the holiday rush. 4. Clean the Chimney: This is a must-do, regardless of whether you are burning wood logs or have a gas fireplace. If you haven’t gotten a chimney sweep yet this year, now’s the time to get on it before you fire that baby up—dirty chimneys are a leading cause of house fires.

Several other landmarks were noted for their association with social history and change. A 1929 Spanish Eclectic house was designed by Louise Severin, a woman master builder; Edgar Coleman, a pioneering African American, moved and updated two early 20th-century beach cottages and, in 1957, built a duplex alongside them in La Jolla; and Abelardo Rodriguez, a Mexican president and promoter of Mexico-U.S. relations, lived in a 1926 Spanish Eclectic house in Kensington-Talmadge that was designed by Louis Gill. sohosandiego.org

The earliest is an Eastlake-style home built circa 1886 and moved to University Heights in 1913. The most recent is a 1961 Mid-Century Modern home at 8272 El Paseo Grande in La Jolla designed by Lloyd Ruocco and Homer Delawie. A second home in La Jolla, at 552 Rushville St., is part of the group. It was built in 1928 and embodies the Spanish Eclectic style through the turret and complex roof

FROM BLACK’S LOOKOUT, A1 the first of several as plans become more solid. A pricetag has not been set. “Right now, (the overlook) is just dirt, some trees and a fence that is falling apart. The neighbors would like it improved, and the surfers who use that spot would like it, too. It used to be a shortcut to Black’s Beach. We’d like to beautify it, but not necessarily make it a gathering place. Just a place to come and appreciate the view,” he said. Landscape architect Erik Von Koehe explained, “We want to make it a little nature walk, so we’d incorporate a coastal shrub plant palate and bring native plants into this already existing open space. The game plan is to create a new view fence, so you have a nice view of the lookout, and then beautify the area.” Drought tolerant vegetation would be planted, and watered only until the roots are established. No irrigation system would be installed. To establish the plants, nearby residents have reportedly agreed to help with watering. There is currently a chain-link fence at the overlook that Ahern said people currently climb over, which has led to several rescues. “Neighbors are concerned about safety. I’d like there to be no fence, which we may consider, but it’s likely there will be a fence,” he said. Von Koehe said an option is to install a “view fence,” which is a private fence that can be seen through. One idea posed uses metal poles with no cross bar, or as Ahern put it, “you can see through it and get this sense of nothingness but it’s there for security.” Generally in support of a fence, board
Black’s Lookout off La Jolla Shores Lane members also suggested a bench and trash can. A trash can reportedly was once found at the lookout, but was removed years ago when budget cuts decreased trash pickups. Should a trash can be installed — which one attendee pleaded for — the question arose as to which entity would empty it. “We don’t know if the City would do it or if we would have to look into some other option,” said Dynes. “The neighbors have a little community garden, so maybe we could partner with them to empty the trash.” In sharing his insights, Ahern advocated for a trash can, but not so much for a bench. “At the very least we need a trash can, but I polled the surfers that were up there (in researching this project) and most said, surprisingly, they don’t want a bench,” he said. “They want to keep it as a lookout, let people check out the waves and leave. A bench is something to consider, but some don’t want it.” As an alternative, he said perhaps some sitting boulders could be installed. “The

main worry is the law of unintended consequences. We don’t want this to become a party place,” he said. The board voted to approve the concept, noting the sub-committee would return with more information at a future meeting.

Applicant Leisha Lamp said, “This afternoon, I heard from the City that there is going to be a (construction) project on Avenida de la Playa, so we need to set up a detour in La Jolla Shores,” she said. “Everything else is the same, including the course, the time, etc. We don’t have any other change besides that one little jaunt in the Shores.” The 36th annual half marathon will begin at Del Mar Fairgrounds and end at Scripps Park in La

Jolla on April 23, 2017. The board voted unanimously to support the event. ■ Children’s Pool Walk: The majority of a donation given the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project has been moved to Friends of WindanSea, at the wishes of the donor, Tom Morgan. LJP&B member and president of Friends of WindanSea, Melinda Merryweather, announced that Morgan, who donated $250,000 to the Children’s Pool Walk project in November 2013, would like the remaining $173,777 moved to WindanSea. “After we raised the money to complete the Children’s Pool Walk project, the City came in and said they would do it,” she said. The differential $77,000 funds was used before the City overtook the project — chiefly on permits and fees. “Now, Tom would like the funds to go to WindanSea where we have a set of stairs to (refurbish), there is an area that needs more Decomposed Granite, and we have a ton of other projects we’ve been dying to do. There are also repainting projects to carry out.” She presented a letter indicating Morgan’s wishes, which the board voted to support. ■ Next year’s board: A nominating committee presented a slate of officers to serve on the Parks & Beaches board next year, which will be voted on at the next meeting. The ballot includes Dynes for president, Marie Hienrichs for recording secretary and Dan Allen for corresponding secretary.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - DECEMBER 8, 2016 - PAGE A7
Planners deny request to dissolve parking district BY ASHLEY MACKIN Although there has been no activity from the La Jolla Community Parking District since it formed in 2005, some community members are not ready to see it go. A request presented to La Jolla’s Community Planning Association (LJCPA) during its Dec. 1 meeting to dissolve the Parking District was denied. LJCPA president Cindy Greatrex explained, “This is an item that City Council President Sherri Lightner brought to us last month with the request that LJCPA support the dissolution of the La Jolla Community Parking District.” By way of background, Greatrex said the formation of the District was approved by the San Diego City Council in June 2005, which designated the now defunct Promote La Jolla as the advisory board to manage it. Promote La Jolla was tasked with implementation, planning and administration of parking-related activities within the La Jolla Community Plan. “The Parking District has been inactive for the last eight years and Promote La Jolla was dissolved in 2011, and since that time, no replacement organization has been designated as the advisory board for the La Jolla Community Parking District,” Greatrex said. The creation of La Jolla’s Parking District was part of a larger effort that designated five other Community Parking Districts: Downtown, Mid-City (including El Cajon Boulevard area, greater Golden Hill and University Heights), Old Town, Pacific Beach and Uptown. Each was tasked with finding
parking solutions to meet community needs. For example, in Pacific Beach, the parking district (managed by Discover Pacific Beach) addressed variable on-street paid parking in the commercial district, residential permit parking, parking validation programs and changes in parking requirements for new development. Hoping to retain independent control of parking options and the capital that could come with it, La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association (formed after Promote La Jolla disbanded to manage the La Jolla Business Improvement District) executive director Sheila Fortune said dissolving La Jolla’s District would subject La Jolla to City decisions on local parking issues. Rather than dissolve the Parking District, Fortune recommended keeping the District, but replacing Promote La Jolla with La Jolla Village Merchants Association as the group to manage it. “We should come together as a community to review the ordinance for the La Jolla Community Parking District so we could have a better understanding of it as a community tool,” she said. A motion to deny the request presented to support the dissolution of the Parking District passed. The board did not discuss the alternative presented, and the item will likely be heard by the San Diego City Council in the coming weeks.

its opportunity to weigh in. La Jolla architect Paul Benton explained the topic was going to be heard at San Diego City Council, likely before the next LJCPA meeting. It was suggested that as LJCPA president, Greatrex ask the project manager to postpone the hearing, so it could be heard next month, voted on and LJCPA comments included in the presentation to City Council. The second item, the Jain Residence at 1421 Soledad Ave., was pulled due to questions about the height. ■ Reservoir project: LJCPA member Patrick Ahern said an informational presentation on the La Jolla View Reservoir project will be scheduled for January. He said the City predicts the project to remove the existing 720,000 gallon La Jolla View Reservoir and replace it with a new 3.1 million gallon underground reservoir will only need a Mitigated Negative Declaration (suggesting there would be no major impacts) rather than an Environmental Impact Report. “We think with 300-500 trucks of dirt going up and down the hillside over a two-year period, tearing up the natural hillside with no real plan for re-vegetation (merits) an EIR that asks, does this need to be done and is this the best approach?” he said. “We’re scheduling a community meeting to hear what the community has to say about this, and we’ll take the feedback to the City.” — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 5 at la Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

FROM MANCHESTER, A1 to install private golf holes to the surprise of neighbors, who shared their concerns with La Jolla Light. Most of the concerns were over environmental issues, such as the displacement of wildlife, removal of native vegetation and construction for unknown purposes. In response to the queries, Manchester told the Light, “All we have done is taken what was already designated as an area in which a house could be built, and we’ve put a big lawn there and we have made a few (golf) holes. It’s an amenity to our existing estate. It’s not open to the public and we have preserved the open space.” He added that he doesn’t rule out building a single-family home on the grounds in the future. When asked whether Manchester needed a permit to build the golf greens, Bob Vacchi of the City’s Development Services Department told La Jolla Light, “The City of San Diego is currently investigating this matter, and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.” Plans for a home on the second lot are underway, and the matter will soon go through the community review process. The City’s opendsd.com website lists the permits acquired by Manchester to prepare the grounds for development, but there is no mention of the golf holes. A site “Stormwater Maintenance Agreement” permit was issued by the City in May for “grading associated with the subdivision and future construction of two, single-family homes and open space lot.” But, on Aug. 8 the permit was altered to increase the affected area from 0.65 acres to
A view of the Manchester golf ‘course’ from Carrizo Drive 5 acres, and to change the scope of the project to “(grading) for re-vegetation, including site demolition, exotic vegetation treatment and removal, irrigation system installation, plant and seed installation and maintenance services.”
A little history
In 2014, one year before Manchester bought the Copley mansion, The Reserve went through the community review process to obtain permits for separating the lot into three parcels and developing two single-family residences/estates. The 1.07-acre Parcel 1 was to be inserted into the Foxhill lot; the 1.68-acre Parcel 2, with access from Encelia Drive, was to be developed into a residence of 5,000 (maximum) square feet; and the 22.2-acre Parcel 3, with access from Romero Drive, was to be developed into a 25,000 (maximum) square-foot single-family residence. La Jolla Community Planning Association
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
(LJCPA) unanimously approved the plans in February 2014 with the addition that a “Substantial Conformance Review (SCR) should be processed for any development,” according to the minutes of the meeting. The SCR condition means that before the home developments, the final designs must go back to the community for verification of conformance to the Project’s Design Guidelines. This document, also approved by the board for the two future homes, includes information about setbacks, building height, exterior building materials, landscaping and brush management. In the plans it was also determined that 18 acres of the total lot were to be preserved. According to the Biological Resources Technical Report prepared by environmental consulting firm Dudek in April 2014, the site was found to contain scrub oak chaparral, southern maritime chaparral and non-native grasslands, “which are all identified as sensitive biological resources.” An open
space easement was created and the only stretches of land allowed to be the developed were the corresponding 5,000 and 25,000 square feet on Parcels 2 and 3. The golf course was developed in the area where the 25,000-square-foot estate was to be built on Parcel 3, as Manchester confirmed. Project Design Guidelines state that the design philosophy for Parcel 3 is, “to provide flexibility of architectural and landscape character inside a defined and controlled development area, while at the same time ensuring the long-term preservation of the conservation area and unique natural setting of the home site.” For some 200 pages, the document goes into detail about types of fencing, color palettes, roof tile and every possible landscaping element recommended for use on the property. A golf course is not mentioned as one of the options. Under “Planting Design” the study reads, “The landscape should be a sensitive marriage of formal and informal arrangements of landscaping materials woven together with the natural topography and vegetation. Homeowners are encouraged to preserve native habitat within portions of the development area.” However, the limitations did not preclude “the installation of exotic, non-native vegetation in the development area.” The document also emphasizes that a minimum of 90 percent of the existing large scrub oak within the development area must remain in place. “A large stand of old scrub oak sits near the end of the private driveway and is an iconic element of The Reserve and entry to the house.”

Brockton Villa marks 25 years of sea-side dining in La Jolla BY DAVID L. CODDON Brockton Villa restaurant is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, but the history of this picturesque property dates back to the turn of the century. The previous century. It was in 1900 that Nellie Mills, one of La Jolla’s first known real estate agents, rented out one of the beach cottages she and her sister, Olivia Mudgett, owned and named it Brockton Villa after Brockton, Mass. It seems that Nellie was of New England stock, according to the history posted on the Brockton Villa website. Those enterprising sisters would be amazed by what is today Brockton Villa, one of the most popular dining and ocean-view spots not just in La Jolla, but in all of San Diego. “This location and the view are really quite unique, even in La Jolla,” said Megan Heine, who with her husband Dave has owned Brockton Villa since 1994. “There aren’t many places that are right at the ocean’s edge.” Heine is a daughter of the Pannikin family that originally transformed the Brockton Villa property from residential to commercial. The current workforce numbers around 40 depending on the time of year: there are more employees during tourist-heavy summertime. But Heine says
COURTESY
Its breath-taking views and diverse menu keeps Brockton Villa popular with La Jollans and tourists alike. Brockton Villa, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, is equally popular with locals. “We have a menu at a price point that is affordable,” she said, “and it’s a pretty diverse menu that appeals to a lot of people, whether you’re a foodie or a Midwestern first-time-California visitor.” Then there are the customers who have made Brockton Villa their special occasion destination for years. “We’ve had countless engagements here,” said Heine. “Then they
come back and have their rehearsal dinner. Then they come back again and have their baby shower. Talk about repeat business!” Private affairs such as those are also a major part of Brockton Villa’s success after 25 years. “We love doing private parties,” said Heine. “We’ve always approached our business like we approach entertaining in our home. Our slogan has been ‘Have your party at our house.’ ” When you’re in their house, meaning the
71 YEARS
Heines’, you’ll see commemorations of both Brockton Villa history and that of Megan Heine’s Pannikin family, which was so instrumental in making this space what it is today. No wonder a certain honor bestowed years ago by the San Diego Architectural Foundation stands out as one of Heine’s proudest moments in 25 years of business on Coast Boulevard. “When we received the Orchid Award for historic preservation and my stepdad had me accept the award, that was something I’m incredibly proud of,” she said. “We had to overcome a lot to build out the restaurant and preserve the building. Having that award in San Diego and knowing my family’s background in historic preservation was huge. I still get goosebumps when I talk about that.” What’s Heine most proud of today? “Our longevity,” she replied without hesitation. “Two and a half decades is a long time in restaurant years.” ■ Brockton Villa is at 1235 Coast Blvd., La Jolla.

A Lasting Love
Paul and Doris Sutton celebrate 70 years together
P
hysicist Paul M. Sutton wrote two love songs for Doris Nichols, his girl back home, while stationed on the USS Wharton, during the Bikini Bomb Tests in the summer of 1946. Between testing Atom Bombs 4 and 5, Paul composed his music on an old piano in the wardroom of the ship. After their wedding on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, 1946, the songs were put in a file cabinet and forgotten. Found and published 62 years later, the songs “Just A Dream Away” and “Just Say Forever,” capture the romance of the 1940s, and are a testament to Paul and Doris’ everlasting love. “Just Say Forever” was played during the renewal of their wedding vows on his 95th birthday, Dec. 3, 2016 at their home in La Jolla. The movie “An Affair to Remember” (1957) with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, came out 11 years after Paul proposed to Doris at the top of the Empire State Building in 1946. Doris said, “maybe,” which is why Paul’s love song to her is so poignant. She did finally say “Forever,” and they have been married 70 years. At their anniversary/birthday party, “The Voice of La Jolla” and La Jolla Meals on Wheels president Ron Jones, officiated. He became acquainted with the Suttons when they began to receive meals and home visits. With their delightful personalities, they soon became favorite friends with all the volunteers. — (Daughter) Valerie Sutton

These hand-made wooden toys by Ed Hujsak will be distributed to children in need.
Spreading joy at the holidays I thought readers might be interested in seeing the last batch of toys out of my garage woodshop — ‘Bugattis,’ dogs (modeled after my dog, Barney) and bluebirds. These are distributed by the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association through its toy program to underprivileged kids and children of those in the military, who are away on foreign duty. For me, it is therapy after a nasty stroke a couple of years ago. It’s what old rocket engineers do, I guess! Ed Hujsak, rocketscientist20.blogspot.com
City engineers need to talk to the Dutch Before anyone does anything more on the La Jolla Shores storm water project, the San Diego engineers need to consult the engineers in Holland who are the world’s experts in drainage systems. I spent much of my childhood vacation days on the east coast of Lincolnshire, England. This flat land is intersected by dykes that drain water from a large area into a holding basin away from the beach. After the turn of the high tide, the sluice gates open and the water is pumped out, helped by the outgoing tide. I mentioned some of this to an engineer who was inspecting the site over a year ago. An alternate solution would be to re-route the storm water to a holding basin built under Vallecitos and partly under Kellogg Park, and then pump it out on the ebbing tide. Building at that site would be far less disruption to businesses and to visitors. Patricia Granger
Letters support public use of school fields ■ I’m a frequent user of the La Jolla High athletic facilities and also a small business owner in the Village. Lately, there’s been harassment from the school and a few rude people in the neighborhood about using the track and fake grass. The thought that the school would make it private is absolutely ridiculous and a slap in the face to every member of this community, whether they use it or not. The high school is not private. Taxpayer money goes toward the facilities AND the school hosted a fundraiser to help pay for this stuff! They accepted donations on the premise that the new facilities would be public, as they should be. The people using the tennis courts, running track and grass space are health-conscious members of the community using exactly what we should be able to use. The audacity of a public school to try and steal such from the community that paid for the facilities is embarrassing. This is doubly true for such a small community that has no other space to use! I would be a tiny bit more understanding if there was a big city park or just vast grass space in La Jolla that people could use all the same, but that simply does not exist. The only time the facilities are damaged, a mess, or have trash left on them is when the students disrespect the property themselves, not the taxpayers who funded the fields and use them with great pleasure whenever we can avoid unfair harassment. Devin Kostrzewski ■ It has come to my attention that considerations are being made to privatize La Jolla High School’s fields. My friends and I have been responsibly using them for outdoor activities for the past several years. It’s become a tradition for us to meet Saturday mornings and kick a ball around for a few hours. We understand and respect the school’s use of the field for scheduled activities and would never seek to interrupt school events with ours. Many of us pick up trash previously found on the field, thus leaving it in a better condition than we found it. A change in policy would adversely affect those who’ve come to rely on these parks for physical outdoor activity. My group has become part of my family, and the privatization of these fields would not only push my family out, it would tear us apart. It is my sincerest hope that every effort

The renovated $12-million La Jolla High School Athletic Complex was unveiled in October 2016. The complex includes new home-and-visitor plazas, entry gates, bleachers, a press box, concession buildings, restrooms, weight rooms, tennis plaza, boys locker room and additional storage space; and the replacement of the synthetic turf field and resurfacing of the running track. will be made to keep these facilities public so that all may continue to benefit from their use. Parker Imperl ■ I’m a La Jolla community member and I strongly disagree with the idea to make the La Jolla High School fields private. I have my office a few blocks from the school and participate in outdoor activities at the field regularly. Primarily, I attend a soccer game on weekend mornings. It is nothing but healthy, active and clean fun. On the field, I’ve met countless friends. The fields help connect community members who enjoy sports. The fields becoming private would have an adverse effect on the community and I strongly discourage it. Ryan Warden ■ As a resident who lives within walking distance of the high school and who uses the facility for a number of activities, I’m deeply concerned with the proposal to ban use of the fields to the public. I have used the school’s track, stadium stairs, tennis courts and fields to pursue a number of athletic activities. Access to these facilities has had positive impacts on my physical well-being, as well as providing me with many friendships over the years. Eliminating public access to La Jolla High’s outdoor athletic facilities would negatively impact not only me, but many other residents who’ve come to rely on this place as a source of physical and social engagement. We all hope that a solution can be reached that will allow public access for recreational activities to continue at La Jolla High School. Tarrant Seautelle ■ I use the high school sports facilities in a responsible way and want them to remain public as they should be. Kristopher Williams ■ I’m writing to voice my support for keeping the La Jolla High School facilities available for public use. This is very important to us, as community members in La Jolla. Charles Bulger ■ As a taxpaying community member who uses the La Jolla High fields often to play soccer, I hope that I can continue to enjoy the fields. If this facility is closed to the public, I urge staff to make another equivalent option available. Healthy bodies have healthy minds, and we cannot afford to let ourselves be complacent in either department! Micah Tuttle ■ Every Saturday we use a soccer field at La Jolla High School and for me it is one of the most beautiful days of the week. Thanks to a ball, I got to know people from all over the world, great people. For this reason, I ask authorities to leave the public facilities public. This will encourage integration, eliminate discrimination, and after all, happiness is a right and happiness is a simple thing ... as simple as a ball rolling! Paolo Calabrese

Each year, the La Jolla Kiwanis Club presents the La Jolla Half Marathon, which has its finish line in Scripps Park.
The Kiwanis Club of Torrey Pines uses proceeds from the San Diego Festival of the Arts (formerly La Jolla Festival of the Arts) to support adaptive sport organizations.
Change for the Better
Kiwanis Clubs make fundraiser improvements in 2016
BY ASHLEY MACKIN hen La Jolla’s two Kiwanis Club chapters raise money for charity, they do it in a big way. Signature events that draw thousands of people and raise thousands of dollars a year for each chapter include the La Jolla Half Marathon for the La Jolla Kiwanis Club, and the San Diego Festival of the Arts for the Kiwanis Club of Torrey Pines. This year, the two chapters made changes to these key events to make them even better.
W
La Jolla Kiwanis Club
To accommodate construction in The Village and The Shores, the La Jolla Kiwanis Club made minor adjustments to the La Jolla Half Marathon and 5K route in 2016, but did what they could to minimize other changes to the race that brings in an average of $250,000-$300,000 a year. “For the last 35 years, the Half Marathon has been our club’s major fundraiser. Most clubs don’t have a fundraiser nearly this magnitude,” said president Bart Calame. “We get some donations and host other events (such as the summer Pancake Breakfast and the spring Junior Olympics), but nothing compares to the race.” To test the new course in the midst of ongoing construction, in 2016, Calame ran the course a few days before the marathon to make sure there would be no hiccups. “I used to be a long distance runner, so I wanted to make sure everything would go smoothly. My wife dropped me off at the start and I did it, and it was all good,” he said. Ironically, Calame has never run the marathon with the thousands of other annual participants.
This year’s race was also the first time the Kiwanians hosted registration and check-in at the Del Mar Hilton, closer to the starting line. The La Jolla Half Marathon starts at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, follows a scenic coastal route and finishes in Scripps Park. The La Jolla Half Marathon is the second race in what is considered the Half Marathon Triple Crown Series. The La Jolla 5K offers a mostly downhill course and includes the last 3.1 miles of the Half Marathon course. “We’re running out of ways to improve the race,” Calame laughed. The next marathon is April 23, 2017. Proceeds from the volunteer-run event fund the grant cycle for the following year, he added, and are distributed to more than 80 charities the club supports. “The core focus of Kiwanis is children,” he said. “In addition to writing grant checks, we also host the Junior Olympics in May at La Jolla High School and have done a community Pancake Breakfast in July for more than 50 years. There’s so much tradition built into what we do.” With Calame’s presidency, which started in October, other changes began at the group’s weekly meetings, Fridays at noon at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. “We have around 80 members and sing as a group at our meetings, so I wanted to make it a karaoke-style event,” he said. “We sang the theme from The Addams Family at Halloween, it was fun.” Calame said he’s also been working to make the meetings more exciting to attract more and younger members. “We have speakers every week from every industry you can imagine — music and arts, Medicare, beekeeping, local activities, sea lions — and everything in between,” he said. “Plus it’s a great fellowship.” SEE KIWANIS CLUBS, A27

FROM OUR READERS WRITE, A22 ■ If the high school field is not in use at a certain time (like our soccer meet-ups on Saturdays) then it’s a facility going to waste. I’m part of a group of young professionals (founders of tech companies and others) who get together Saturdays and play soccer. We’re not all originally from here. Personally, I’ve been here 20 years (I’m from Europe originally), and we all love to play there, engage with others in the professional world, and are respectful of the field. We also pay our taxes to the City and see no reason why a public school should close its borders when school is not in session. Yashar Ahmadpour Editor’s note: Similar letters were sent by Danijel Nisavic, Tobias Nergarden, Josh Isaacs, Nick Johnson, Zach Warburg, Graeme Lazarus and L. Braude.
Food program does not belong in the Village It’s good that Tresha Souza is helping people, but it’s bad that she’s doing it in La Jolla. “So Others May Eat” attracts many undesirables to our town. Some look around and decide to stay. Some people eating at her functions are not homeless at all, they’re just looking for a free meal. Just ride the bus on the day when food is being handed out and listen to the conversations. They are almost invariably about how someone is heading to La Jolla to “score” a free meal. I believe these are blue-collar workers with homes and incomes.
Zoning laws are in place for a reason — there are places where people live and places where “industry” happens. The two shouldn’t be in the same place. This is why shelters are usually on the outskirts of town. One can’t dismiss legitimate complaints from residents by saying “how dare you?” This is so presumptuous. Most La Jollans don’t want this happening in the middle of Girard Avenue every week. Please, find an appropriate venue for this kind of activity. Hint: It’s not in the middle of La Jolla’s retail district. Bill Smith
Parking meter ticket troubling Saturday, I entertained a cousin from out of state and we enjoyed brunch at La Valencia, followed by a quick walk to see the sea lions at La Jolla Cove. I was very mindful of the two-hour parking window and even made the comment, “We need to head back up to the car because I’ve only got about 15 minutes left on my spot.” When we got back to the car, low and behold, a yellow ticket was on my windshield! I was alarmed because I consciously kept track of time during the entire brunch/walk. When I looked at my ticket to see what time it was issued, I noticed it said my car was “marked” at 10:50 a.m. At that time, I wasn’t even in downtown La Jolla! I looked back at my call log because I called my sister before heading to brunch to see if she wanted to join us. The call was at 11:01 a.m. and it was made from an apartment on
www.lajollalight.com
Torrey Pines Road. Even after that, we ran a few quick errands and I gave my guest a drive-by of WindanSea beach before even heading to downtown La Jolla. It is completely dishonest to say my car was “marked” at 10:50 a.m. Not that I would want to go this far, but any business video surveillance that was around could easily validate my “car location alibi.” I understand that parking citations are income for the City, but as citizens, we should not be victim to a dishonest system and dishonest officers (perhaps eager to meet a quota?). This was a blatant “fudge” in timing. I am obviously appealing the ticket, but unsure of how “my word” against a City employee’s will play out. To be continued ... Please print anonymously as I don’t want the issuing officer (whose name is on my ticket) to hunt my car down for life for putting him on this blast. Ticked off
Magazine features Mt. Soledad history I am very excited to have my article about Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial featured on the cover of The American Surveyor magazine. I filed one of the first declarations back in 1989 to save and protect the memorial. Its history is quite interesting with regards to its function as a primary geodetic survey station. La Jolla Light readers might find it of interest. It can be accessed online at amerisurv.com It has been a long 27 years! Michael J. Pallamary

Kitchen Shrink’s bread recipe rocks! I wanted to thank The Kitchen Shrink for her recent Cranberry Pecan Pumpkin Bread recipe. I made a bunch of mini loaves for my husband’s family, and they have since told me how much they liked it. It truly is the best pumpkin bread I have tasted. Before Thanksgiving, she mentioned two main dishes for vegetarians — pumpkin or acorn squash risotto and roasted red and yellow peppers stuffed with quinoa, pistachios and goat cheese. We are not vegetarians, but these sound delicious. In the future, I hope she will share these recipes! Marianne Chandler

David Leaverton
November 7, 1929 - November 26, 2016
March 2, 1937 - November 21, 2016 La JoLLa — David Leaverton, 79, died peacefully in his La Jolla home on November 21, 2016. He is survived by his wife, Mary, and his sons, Mark (wife, Darcy, and children, Parker and Hailey) and Michael (wife, Meleana, and children, Lucas and Dean). Born in Indiana to Stanley and Elizabeth (Kowalik) Leaverton, David moved to El Cajon as a boy, attended USC on a basketball scholarship, and received an M.a. in English from SDSU and a J.D. from Boalt Hall School of Law in 1965. He married Mary Frances Corcoran on New Year’s Eve 1964. along with running a mobile home park in
Colorado and a newspaper distribution business in Mexico, David worked for years as an attorney on Herschel ave. He loved to walk around his beloved Village, stopping to chat with people along the way, be they friends, acquaintances, really anybody who crossed his
path — a trip to the post office might take half an afternoon, his booming laugh marking his way. Generous, warmhearted, and quick with a joke, David brightened the days of those around him. He was an insatiable learner, not only from books (he read voraciously, even tackling the entirety of Shakespeare in his senior years), but also from his interest in the lives of others (nobody chatted up wait staff quite like David). He loved to travel and cook, and he could remember — and would recount, often, in the manner of one completely flabbergasted — every great meal he ever ate (“Sand dabs, about yay-big — oh!” Scoma’s, S.F., circa 1975). His passion even led
him to write a book, “99: a Journal of Food, Drink and the Good Life.” David never forgot his modest beginnings, and he loved to help people, whether he was offering advice, opening his pocketbook, getting Cesar Chavez out of jail (true story!), or simply lifting someone’s mood by calling him a rascal (or a knucklehead, if you were under 30). above all, David cared for people, his small army of lifelong friends are proof of that. a celebration of his life will take place at a later date.

Harold Osmonde Walker August 1, 1928 - November 8, 2016
LA JoLLA — Harold “Hal” osmonde Walker Jr., long-time Copley Newspapers executive, passed away on November 8, 2016, following a brief illness. Born in Bronxville, New York, to Harold osmonde Walker Sr. and Marie Clinch Walker, he grew up during the Great Depression in Mount Vernon, New York. Mr. Walker attended Harvard College and after serving in the U.S. Air Force and attaining the rank of Captain, he returned to Cambridge to earn a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. In 1954, while serving in the Air Force and stationed in Houston, Texas, Mr. Walker met Dorothy Tollifson, a small town girl from Albert Lea, Minnesota. They were wed a few months later and were married for 56 years. She preceded him in death on June 20, 2010. Besides serving in several
positions for Copley Newspapers from 1962 to 1990, Mr. Walker was an initial investor in and employee of medical technology pioneer IVAC Corporation where he served as Director and Executive Vice President from 1968 to 1970. He also served as Director of Arista Corporation, Sorrento Industries, Continental Controls Corporation, Dielectric Systems Corporation and Spasors Electronics Corporation. A Yankee fan from a young age, Mr. Walker
loved baseball and from 1979 to 1981 owned the Eugene Emeralds, a Class A minor league professional baseball team affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds. Mr. Walker’s greatest pleasures were the times spent with his family. He dearly loved his wife, Dorothy. He was endlessly proud of his two children, Richard T. Walker and Pamela W. Gardner, as well as his grandchildren, Andrew Gardner, Katherine Gardner, Christopher Walker and Sarah Walker. Traveling the world with his wife was something Mr. Walker truly enjoyed. The Walkers’ travels took them to Europe, Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, Central and South America, Canada and the Caribbean. one adventure took the Walkers to rugged, rural Baja California with the Flying Samaritans, an organization that provided free health care services to people in need. As a 53-year resident of
La Jolla, Mr. Walker had been a member of many San Diego organizations. Among them were the San Diego Press Club, Harvard Club of San Diego, San Diego Genealogical Society and the Harvard Business School Club of San Diego. Certainly one of his favorites was the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, to which he belonged for 52 years, and where so many happy family occasions were celebrated. Mr. Walker was also a member of the La Jolla YMCA where he exercised six days a week for the last twenty years! Mr. Walker was buried, alongside his parents and grandparents, on November 17, 2016, at Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York. His family will honor Mr. Walker with a plaque at the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.
La JoLLa — The sailing world has lost a skipper, the legal world has lost a champion advocate, the music and arts world has lost a devoted patron and a family has lost its benevolent patriarch. Leon E. Campbell passed away unexpectedly on November 26, 2016; he was two weeks into his 87th year. He filled all those years to the hilt with love for his wife of 63 years, Mary Lou; his children, Cameron “Bear” and Chantry; and his grandchildren, Brooke, Campbell, Caroline, Liselle and Remington. Boundless curiosity and creativity drove him to explore this planet at every opportunity. He was an avid traveler, an accomplished sailor, an articulate screenwriter, an innovative inventor and a pioneer on many fronts in his chosen legal profession. always the thinker, dreamer and doer – his bigger-than-life presence will be sorely missed. He was most proud of those accomplishments that left a lasting legacy to the benefit of others. He is credited with establishing precedent that is now case law, he helped shaped the local real estate laws, and he contributed to the long-range transportation planning of the San Diego region. and not to ignore the left side of his brain, he was a two-time past president of The athenaeum Music & arts Library. In fact, their annual gala was his excuse to don
a costume and really wear his creativity on his sleeve, literally. You could count on his Saturday trips to the athenaeum to check out a tall stack of books and music to enjoy for the week and then do it again the following Saturday. always growing, ever absorbing. a dedicated family man, Leon was driven to provide for his extended family a life of education and of exposure to the larger world around us. He crafted his endeavors with others in mind first. He was a natural mentor, an unstoppable optimist and likely the luckiest man you could ever meet. Leon’s precious morning routine had him walking the Shores beach or swimming laps at La Jolla High. So for all you walkers, joggers, swimmers and sinkers, you saw a lot of him. His sandy feet will be missed. His soggy Northwestern sweat shirt too. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

La Jolla Kiwanis Club meets at La Jolla Presbyterian Church, Fridays at noon. FROM KIWANIS CLUBS, A23
Kiwanis Club of Torrey Pines
To raise (and later give away) some $75,000 a year, the Kiwanis Club of Torrey Pines presents the San Diego Festival of the Arts, which in 2016 moved from La Jolla to downtown San Diego. “We raise money solely through the Festival,” said president and charter member Ross Ehrhardt. “When the Festival started 29 years ago, it was at the Jewish Community Center. We moved to La Jolla Country Day and then to UCSD. But this past year (2016), we decided to move the venue down to Waterfront Park in downtown San Diego. That has been a marvelous move because we’re now engaging all of San Diego. It was a bit of a risk, but our attendance was up 30 percent this year. It wasn’t a home run, but a triple. It re-energized the club.” On Oct. 26, the club granted more than $90,000 to more than 30 different programs that reach 5,000 people. The 2017 art festival will be June 10-11 at the Waterfront Park. The funds raised are distributed to charities that provide sport and recreation programs for children, adults and veterans with disabilities. “From day one, that’s been our singular focus,” Ehrhardt said. “There are a lot of small bootstrap charities we support and that’s important because they need help to get their programs going. One of them is the Naval Medical Center surf clinic, which teaches young injured veterans how to surf. We were fortunate to start a relationship with them.” Each year, new programs to support are added, and many of the club’s 27 members spend the year getting to know these organizations. Ehrhardt said, “We go out, visit the programs, see how they are doing

Joe Nyiri and Keith Stephens, the duo behind ‘Two Guys Paint IV.’
‘Two Guys’ art show coming to the library Public reception slated for Dec. 11 BY ASHLEY MACKIN These days, longtime friends and San Diego artists Joe Nyiri and Keith Stephens are simply, two guys who paint. With careers as art teachers and a bevy of individual exhibitions under their belts, the retirees have exhibited together over the years at San Diego libraries in installments of what they call the “Two Guys Paint” series — including twice at the Pacific Beach Library and once at the Poway library. Their fourth installment, “Two Guys Paint IV,” will be on display at the La Jolla Riford Library, Dec. 11 to Jan. 14, 2017. An opening reception is set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11 at 7555 Draper Ave. With about 14 pieces each in the show, Nyiri focuses on the human figure with some works diving into the abstract, while Stephens presents landscapes from his upbringing in Montana and collages. “Both artists are very accomplished and award-winning, so we are happy to have them at the library,” said Library Art Committee Chair Patricia Jasper Clark. She added that this isn’t Nyiri’s first library visit, he teaches free art classes to children on occasion, and the art committee has had a chance to see his work. “We are so appreciative of the service Joe Nyiri has rendered over the years with the children in the free art classes ... they are typically well attended and he really relates to children,” she said. “We wanted to extend an invitation to him to show his portfolio of works.” For the Wisconsin native, working with children is a way to give back to the community and celebrate his love of art. He said his mother was a librarian, so volunteering at libraries holds a special place in his heart. “I used to stutter and had teachers who thought I SEE TWO GUYS, B10

When your house is the same age as you are
O
La Jolla Cultural Partners
lof and I and our house all came into existence in 1947. As the three of us slowly deteriorate, we can only see this as a sign of inanimate solidarity on the part of the house. While the house still has the same footprint it did in 1947, the interior has been substantially upgraded. But there are still remnants of 1947 lurking within. When the previous owners’ wallpaper installations were removed, we couldn’t help but notice that all the interior walls were originally painted either Prison Green or Pepto Bismol Pink. No, really. Apparently these were the hot colors of 1947 — a bold new post-War escape from boring white? Or else that paint was army surplus, leftover from the conflict. Plenty of houses had it. But the one remnant that still attracts the most attention, especially from people who grew up in San Diego, is the yellow tile in our hallway bathroom. A guest will walk in there and all of a sudden I see him stop dead and stare at it. “We had that same tile in my house when I was growing up,” he’ll say. He gets a misty far-away look in his eyes and I realize that his mind has gone to The Land of Showers Past. There’s some serious local nostalgia going on with that
yellow tile. (It apparently had an equally-popular turquoise cousin.) The other original-to-1947 feature are the red oak floors. They were covered in green shag carpet when we bought the house in 1973 and only saw light again in 1999 when we remodeled, which included adding actual outlets to the bathrooms. In 1947 electrical outlets in bathrooms were against code but once there were enough appliances that required outlets, the powers-that-be decided that if people want to risk electrocuting themselves by dropping a hair dryer in the tub, then it was their constitutional right. Of course, the advent of ground fault detectors probably played a big part in this as well. I’ve written before about how I grew up with hardwood floors and always coveted wall-to-wall carpeting. Of course, the hardwood floors of my youth were a different breed: cold, ugly and high maintenance. So it was a hard sell when Olof wanted to replace the embarrassingly ratty carpeting with refinished floors once he discovered the oak was under there. (I tried to keep it a secret.) When the floor refinisher ripped up the carpeting in one of the bedrooms, he inquired (sincerely), “Did this place used to
be a barn?” Turns out there were a LOT of animal urine stains in there that couldn’t be sanded out. Since we never had any pets other than fish and birds, they obviously predated us. It was clear some previous owner had NOT been walking the dog (or maybe the cow.) Much of that floor needed to be replaced. As most home improvers know, these projects have a domino effect. As soon as the carpet was gone and the floors refinished, the temperature in the house dropped 20 degrees. This was because we had also dispensed with the 1947 floor furnace — an inefficient fume-spewing device that was alleged to heat the whole house but in fact just made the place smell really bad while raising the temperature some two degrees. (We don’t even want to speculate about C02.) Plug-in floor heaters would blow our 50 amp circuit-breaker box within 20 seconds. So we were used to just wearing sweaters a lot in the colder months not realizing just how much floor insulation we were getting from the ratty carpet. But without it, it was suddenly downright cold. So we had to have central heat put in. (Best investment ever.) I confess that Olof and I have been slow to upgrade. Olof hates chaos, I hate change, and we both hate to shop. Other than that, we were ideal remodelers. But the first thing that happened when we married in 1995 and Olof moved in was that our 50 amp circuit-breaker box had to be upgraded when the kids kept microwaving PopTarts and blowing Olof off his computer. This marriage could not have been saved. Our last existing 1947 anachronism is double-hung windows with counterweights.

You’ll find this classic yellow tile in local mid-century houses. Every year I promise myself that this will be the year we replace them with casement windows that don’t incite bad words when you try to open them. OK, I’ll admit that those counterweights weren’t meant to last 69 years. But then we think of the construction mess and annoyance (see “not ideal remodelers” above) and go for Plan B (die first). And frankly, what really needs to be done to this house is to be razed and rebuilt. It — and we — weren’t meant to last forever. But it’s not going to be by us. Have at it kids. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

And when cells don’t multiply, really a place where you grow up exploring a tissues don’t replenish,” she said. “Over a treasure trove of natural wonders. In lifetime of say eight decades, the telomeres particular, I was really curious about animals. dwindle down due to the incomplete I wanted to see how they worked. copying and are damaged by things like “It worried my parents when I would pick chemicals.

I thought I associates measured telomere length and would end up in biology or something. I then waited seven years.

DNA sequencing. During her educational career, sequencing and genomics were relatively new, which made the work that much more intriguing. “It’s always exciting to start in a field when it’s growing or in the very beginning. … Often making a path is much more exciting than following one,” she said.
The topic of telomeres
PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN
Telomerase therapy
In 1984, Blackburn discovered an enzyme that helps preserve telomere length, now known as telomerase. And while telomerase therapy is being pursued, Blackburn explained, “When longer telomeres are in (for example) cancer cells, it gives those cancer cells permission to grow and keep on multiplying. So we have to walk a fine line between too much and too little. So using telomerase therapy is like playing with fire.” Instead, she said there are some environmental factors that can have a positive and negative influence on telomere length. Negative influences include stress, depression, poor diet, tobacco use, childhood trauma and more, and positive include exercise, sleep, ingestion of omega-3s and more.
Getting ‘the call’
Her work, though ongoing, got the attention of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Joking that “everyone asks me about winning the Nobel Prize,” she recalled the day she found out. “In 2009, I got a phone call at 2 a.m. and I don’t know how you react when your phone rings at 2 a.m., but I immediately thought it was something bad — especially because my
Kim Caniglia and Judy Peeples mother-in-law was 95 at that point. I thought something’s happened to her. But when I answered the phone, this Swedish voice told me I had won the Nobel Prize. At first, I didn’t really believe him. I think he could tell that, and told me the media would be calling soon and advised me to have a cup of coffee,” she said. As a recipient of the Nobel Prize, Blackburn said she enjoys speaking, especially when it gives her the platform to advocate for more women in sciences. “Curiosity-driven science really gets you some place and that couldn’t be more true than in the biological sciences because what comes from it really matters to human health. We need to have increasing and more diverse curiosity-driven scientists because that is going to make projects happen that will really have an impact,” she said. Her advice to young women: “Stay focused and stay persistent. Try to get yourself into a place where research is being done to find out if you like it. So many young people read about a branch of science and then they find out it’s not for them. Know your skills and what field these skills would best serve. To quote the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science initiative, ‘Women need science and science needs women.’ ”
Blackburn’s path took her to the study of telomeres. “Picture in your mind a shoelace and on the tip of it is that little aglet,” she explained. “Now imagine that in the cells of your body, there are hundreds of these little shoelace things in every cell. Each of those shoelaces is a chromosome found in the nucleus of each cell. These chromosome carry precious genetic information. We need those protective ends at the end of these chromosome shoelaces to protect that genetic information. But the problem is, sometimes those ends wear down. “Chromosomes replicate themselves all the time. There is a real problem when cells replicate, it is … a little bit like a copy machine. When you go to make a copy, with each print, a little bit gets faded or left off and The Bishop’s School parents Sharon Peng, Patricia Wu, Cassandra Wong and Victoria Tien with Women’s Club hospitality chair Sima Alefi

FROM TWO GUYS, B1 wouldn’t make it academically. They would let me go once a week and I would walk from school to a museum and take painting classes,” he said. “I started painting regularly and eventually went to the University of Wisconsin to study art.” When he moved to San Diego more than 50 years ago, Nyiri taught summer art courses at San Diego State University and UC San Diego, before teaching high school. He was recognized as Teacher of the Year in San Diego in 1982, and one of San Diego County’s three Teachers of the Year in 1983. When he retired, he began volunteering at local libraries. Nyiri said he paints every day and for “Two Guys Paint IV,” he chose works that feature historical and fictitious figures depicted in new and abstract ways, like William Shakespeare and Alice from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland.” “The human figure interests me,” he explained. “I did a series on people I admire, such as T. E. Lawrence, now I’m working on a big painting on the Indian deity Ganesh,” he said. “I do commissions, but I turn down more than I accept.” For co-presenter Stephens, also a teacher and artist of 31 years in San Diego, the works he will present are a combination of new and old. “Eight are collages that have never been shown before. They are nonobjective, so there isn’t a central image, it’s just shapes and colors, made from fragments of other art works. The rest are paintings of landscapes from Montana, where I grew up,” he said. The paintings were done over the past four years, while the collages were created in the
An abstract portrait of William Shakespeare by Joe Nyiri last few months, specifically for this show. For decades, Stephens said he “usually had several projects going on,” but five years ago, his wife passed away and art took a backseat. “During the last few years of her life, I spent most of my time tending to her, so I wasn’t producing much,” Stephens said. “I have been friends with Joe for 50 years and he concocted the idea to do an art show to get me making art again (which became ‘Two Guys Paint I’). Now my art keeps me
Collages by Keith Stephens occupied. When looking at the pieces in the show, I hope people understand there is some good quality work here ... we’re serious about it.” The mission of the art committee at La Jolla’s Riford Library is to produce high quality, professional art exhibits that are meaningful to the artists and the public, said Jasper Clark. “We’ve done this since 2011 and during that time, we’ve had more than 20 exhibitions.

Tiramisu A-Go-Go Naughty and Nice Culinary Questions
Y
ou better watch out! This holiday season, foodies are more discriminating than ever, reading labels judiciously, making healthier choices, buying sustainable and organic ingredients, and painstakingly preparing treasured recipes from scratch (and with love). That also means more stress for everyone, whether you are hosting a holiday event or are an invited guest. To alleviate your gustatory conscience, relieve your anxiety levels, and make your contributions appreciated and memorable, here are some answers to your ticklish questions — both naughty and nice ones.
Naughty Ones
Q. I’ve been invited to a holiday potluck party from work, and the office manager knows I enjoy baking, so asked that I contribute a home-baked festive treat, like tiramisu or a seasonal trifle. As I’m really busy this time of year, would it be cheating if I bought a dessert, removed it from its original packaging and doctored it up to look homemade? A. Yes, that would be “cheating,” but since this is such a hectic time of year, I think you’ll be forgiven if you bring a lovely store-bought treat (organic or GMO-free is best). Then you can add a personal touch with a passed down family recipe, whether it be a sauce, drizzle, frosting or other unique holiday topping to make your contribution special. Q. I’m preparing a holiday meal, the main course either a seafood risotto or poached salmon. I always use high quality ingredients,
but was wondering if I could cut corners and use an inexpensive wine for cooking these dishes? A. Julia Child propelled the school of thought that you shouldn’t cook with wine you wouldn’t drink. Other oenophiles would beg to differ. While you probably wouldn’t drink a bright wine with a raspy acidity, those qualities are ideal for cooking. Cheap wine typically has too much sugar, masking the true flavor profile of the varietal. But that doesn’t mean you need to uncork a bottle of Lafite Rothschild ($560) to pour into your pans. A middle-of-the-road wine between $6 and $10 a bottle is a good compromise. For risotto use a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay; poach fish in light white wine with fresh herbs; chicken pairs well with red Zinfandel, while beef and lamb are best braised with a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Q. Every Christmas we have dinner at my sister’s home and all the siblings bring their favorite dish. This year she’s insisting on a healthy theme. Unfortunately, my special creations are loaded with butter, cream, sugar and other decadent ingredients. I don’t want to compromise my recipes that everyone loves, but I don’t want to lie either, saying I’ve tweaked them with a healthier twist when I haven’t. Suggestions? A. My suggestion (although it would be more work for you) is to prepare two versions of your favorite dish — your original one with the indulgent ingredients, and a second healthier riff on the first, substituting organic ghee butter, olive or walnut oil for regular butter, coconut or almond cream for cow’s

Set aside. Combine liqueur, rum and coffee. Dip ladyfingers in liquid careful not to make them soggy.

Q. We like to volunteer at food banks or help serve Christmas dinner at homeless shelters. Any thoughts for some other type of food-related gesture our family can partake in? A. Practically every city has pockets of “food deserts,” where people don’t have accessibility to a diversity of fresh, healthy foods, especially fruits and vegetables.
Denizens of these “deserts” consequently have poor, unbalanced diets, which often lead to health problems. Bearing gifts of baskets or decorative boxes filled with organic seasonal fruits (apples, tangerines, persimmons, pears), vegetables (roots, squashes, leafy greens), farm products, such as free-range eggs, organic butter, goat cheese, and yogurt, along with whole-wheat bread or some festive home-baked goody, almond butter and preserves would be a lovely blessing for these folks.

Truly a miracle that he survived. Not the best way to lose weight but he thought survivalist camp might make him more macho."

Vision research symposium is ‘eye opening’
RESEARCH REPORT
When researchers attend scientific symposiums, they don’t typically present their “unfinished” work or interact with families impacted by the very diseases they are trying to cure. Yet that’s what happened at the ninth World Symposium on Vision Disorders hosted by The Vision of Children Foundation, Nov. 16-18 at The Grande Colonial in La Jolla. Sam and Vivian Hardage of Rancho Santa Fe established the Foundation in 1991 after their son was born with Ocular Albinism. At the time, there were no researchers studying this rare genetic vision disorder, for which there are no treatments and no cures. The Hardages were determined to encourage research to find a cure for the congenital condition. Today, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary, Vision of Children is the foremost organization in the world supporting research for Ocular Albinism and related vision disorders. “Our main goal is to move the needle so we can improve how people see,” said Dr. Debora Farber, who is the Foundation’s scientific advisor and who leads a team of researchers working at UCLA Stein Eye Institute. Her presentation on using byproducts of patients’ own stem cells to

Last month, Farber’s team announced the discovery of mutations in a second gene that can trigger this genetic vision disorder. The research, led by Dr. Alejandra Young, who also presented at the symposium, has major implications for better diagnosis and ultimately treatment for thousands of children.
Scientists find autism link to lack of brain ‘specialization’ Divvying up tasks between the left and right hemisphere of the brain is one of the hallmarks of typical brain development. The left hemisphere, for instance, is involved in
analyzing specific details of a situation, while the right hemisphere is involved in integrating all the various streams of information coming into the brain. A new study by neuropsychologists at San Diego State University suggests that in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) the brains’ hemispheres are less likely to specialize one way or another. The finding gives further insight into how brain development in people with ASD contributes to the disorder’s cognitive characteristics. The study, led by Ralph-Axel Müller, Ruth Carper and Jeffrey Treiber of the Brain Development Imaging Lab, investigated how connections within the brain develop differently in children and adolescents with ASD than in their typically developing peers. Using diffusion tensor imaging, the team studied the brains of 41 participants with ASD and 44 without, examining how densely connections formed between different regions of white matter in the brain. They found that in typically developing young people, the right brain hemispheres had densely packed connections. “This fits with the idea that the right hemisphere has a more integrative function, bringing together many kinds of information,” the team wrote in a summary of their research. However, in the participants with ASD, SEE RESEARCH REPORT, B22

How your hearing works: Sound enters your ear canal through the air.
Hearing Problem #1 The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax , which mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.
Sound Reaches Your Eardrum, which vibrates, starting a chain reaction.
The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones. We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.
The eardrum is connected to the first of three tiny bones. These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.
Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your inner ear conduct sound between your ear drum and your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.
This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.
Hearing Problem #3 The Cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as Sensorineural hearing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.
Inside the cochlea are thousands of microscopic hair cells called stereocilia, and these hair cells sense the motion of sound waves.
About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing computer has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.
Consonants
The NuEar NowTM is a tiny new device that can be programmed to amplify only missing consonant sounds, stimulating the high-frequency hair cells all while programmed to ignore the rest. The brain of this smart new device is a microprocessor chip that analyses and clarifies sound according to its frequency. Using a technology called Live Speech Mapping, the specialist adjusts the high frequency speech sounds like a woman’s voice until they are clearer. The prescription is set as you watch and listen. You will hear immediate before and after benefits.

FROM RESEARCH REPORT, B18 these brain connections were more evenly distributed across both hemispheres. The findings are published in the December issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. That lack of specialization could manifest itself in what Müller calls “weak central coherence” — a concept best summed up in the idiom, “not seeing the forest for the trees.” Many people with ASD are very good at seeing details but have difficulty putting it all together into a cohesive narrative, he explained. More research is needed to determine whether these brain-connection asymmetries cause this inability to cohesively assemble information, or are actually the result of it.
RESEARCH REPORT (CONTINUED) accompanying analysis tools to decipher some of the key steps for how ribosomes are assembled, a first step in understanding their roles in health and disease. The results are published online December 1, 2016, in the journal Cell. “These new structures we captured with cryo-EM show that it is possible to image and interpret diverse molecular machines in action,” says the study’s co-senior author Dmitry Lyumkis, a Helmsley-Salk Fellow at Salk. “This is a completely different way of seeing and doing structural biology. This paper is a prime example of the fact that we can do far more intricate analyses than have ever been expected.”
Collaboration uncovers Findings suggest how molecular individualized machines assemble medicine approach to Ribosome s– macromolecular machines macular degeneration consisting of RNA and proteins that twist, fold and turn – are responsible for making all of the protein within a cell and could hold the key to deciphering a range of diseases. Despite the intricacies of ribosomes, cells are able to churn out 100,000 of them every hour. But because they assemble so speedily, researchers haven’t been able to figure out how they come together. A collaboration led by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, deployed a cutting-edge imaging method called single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and
A common class of drugs for vision loss may actually add to the problem in some patients, according to new research co-led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). The new study in animal models suggests that some therapies for age-related wet macular degeneration (ARMD) may leave the eyes — and kidneys — of some patients vulnerable to cellular damage by hampering the body’s ability to make a protective molecule called inhibitory complement factor H (CFH). The study is also the first to identify a common pathway
in two seemingly disparate organs: the eye and the kidney. “This suggests we need to be more cautious in our approach with patients,” said TSRI Professor Martin Friedlander, who co-led the study with Moin A. Saleem of the University of Bristol.
Doctors perform region’s first heart-liver transplant On Nov. 4, surgeons at UC San Diego Health performed the region’s first combined heart-liver transplant (CHLT). During the 10-hour surgery, 54-year old Frank “Sonny” Taitano received a healthy heart and liver. This is the first successful heart-liver transplant in San Diego; less than 10 of these surgeries are performed each year in the United States. “I thank everyone at UC San Diego from the bottom of my new heart and liver,” said Taitano, father of six children and grandfather of 13. “I owe the team here everything. After these transplants, it is like nothing was ever wrong with me. I went in one door very sick and came back out a new person. I can breathe again. I can speak again.” “These lifesaving surgeries represent the monumental effort and coordination of two advanced surgical teams,” said Victor Pretorius, MBchB, surgical director of cardiac transplant and mechanical circulatory support. “UC San Diego has invested in the
personnel, equipment and facilities to do this type of high-risk transplant surgery safely and effectively for the benefit of the community. It’s a joy to see Mr. Taitano getting back to the life he loves.”
Scientists discover protein key to cell housekeeping Using a new microprotein detection strategy, Salk scientists discovered a human microprotein involved in one of the cells’ key housekeeping tasks: clearing out genetic material that’s no longer needed. The new molecule could provide a better understanding of how the levels of genes, including disease genes, are controlled in the cell. “Despite how much we know about the human genome, there are still blind spots in the genome discovery algorithms,” said Alan Saghatelian, Salk professor and one of the senior authors on the paper that appears in the Dec. 5 issue of Nature Chemical Biology. “You can sequence the whole human genome and never know a protein, like this one, was there because it’s too short and falls below the usual length requirement for gene assignment algorithms.” In cells, a gene’s DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which then guides production of specific proteins. After the necessary protein is created, the RNA blueprint is recycled to stop the production of the protein. While this process is crucial for healthy cells, no one was aware of a critical microprotein in this process, called NoBody (for non-annotated P-body dissociating polypeptide).

Fired Up: La Jolla Residents React to Unsafe Roadway Hazards It’s no surprise that so many people visit the city of La Jolla. As the crown jewel of San Diego, thousands of tourists visit our city each year thanks in part to our white sand beaches, distinctive shops and restaurants and festivals held year-round. Along with perpetual sun and glistening waters, it’s no wonder that so many people choose to vacation in our lovely city each year. The truth is that the veneer of La Jolla is a beautiful one; but scratch beneath the surface and what’s revealed may surprise more than
just the locals. In a wave of recent complaints, La Jolla residents have gotten fired up about their city. Potholes, overgrown shrubbery, uneven sidewalks and red light running have gotten locals talking – if not concerned for their own well-being. More than just conversation, these are real issues the city must deal with – and hopefully address – in order to make La Jolla a safer, cleaner and more enjoyable place. Check any of the local papers covering road repair or, dare I say, the La Jolla Cove, and it’s clear that the voices of La Jolla want to be heard. Do residents have a voice? Well, when it comes to traffic and pedestrian safety, the answer is yes. You can take action. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT LA JOLLA ROADWAY COMPLAINTS? While we empathize with residents over the future of the La Jolla Cove, our main concern lies in the safety of our city’s roads and pedestrian walkways – especially as it relates to what residents have called unsafe conditions. Potholes, disintegrating roadways,
uneven sidewalks and even red light running have run the gamut of complaints and each of these issues are concerning to us as car accident attorneys. The good news is that La Jolla residents can get in touch with city administrators to voice their concerns to prompt change. The bad news is that if voices are not heard, generally no change is implemented. If you’re a resident of La Jolla with knowledge of an unsafe roadway or pedestrian condition, here’s what you can do to bring the issue to light. POTHOLES AND BAD SIDEWALKS To report a pothole or bad sidewalk, call 619-527-7500 to notify San Diego street division for road and sidewalk repair division (the city of La Jolla does not have its own road repair division). The same division can be contacted for open waste found in roadways or on sidewalks, leaky fire hydrants or overgrown shrubbery. It’s important to call and report the hazard as soon as possible to avoid a potential car accident or pedestrian threat such as a slip and fall or head injury due to uneven concrete paving. FALLEN TREES OR PUBLIC
LANDSCAPE IN NEED OF CARE One resident wrote in to the La Jolla Light noting that a tree had fallen down after it had been excessively pruned by city employees. Although we certainly sympathize for the lost tree that had been decades old, the cause of our concern mainly lies in the potential danger of the tree falling on cars, people or houses. If you note a tree in need of trimming, call the city at 619-527-7500 or send an email to street_service@sandiego. gov to notify city officials before the tree falls down and injures someone. For trees and landscaping located in La Jolla public parks, call 858-581-9716 to voice your concerns. RED LIGHT RUNNING If you notice that a certain intersection is especially prone to red light running, call the San Diego Police Department. Check your local SDPD neighborhood division for contact information. EMERGENCIES In ALL cases, if you note an emergency of any kind, call 9-11.

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park’s protected lands offer unparalleled night sky viewing Escape the city lights and head to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park for 600,000 acres of star- and moon-gazing. The land conservation efforts of the Anza-Borrego Foundation have ensured that the dark skies visible in Anza-Borrego remain uniquely protected from urban lights. The desert season begins with two major celestial events — December’s Geminids and Ursid meteor showers — and free night sky programs in the Park. The Geminids meteor shower can be annually observed through Dec. 16, with peak activity on the night of the 13th and morning of the 14th. It’s known to be one of the most reliable of the annual meteor showers (producing up to 120 multicolored meteors
per hour at its peak) though a full moon could block out the fainter meteors this year. The Ursid meteor shower is expected to peak Dec. 21 and the early morning hours of Dec. 22. On Dec. 14 and 16, a moon watching program will teach attendees about the features and phases of the moon. The “talk and watch” begins at 4:30 p.m. at the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center. On Dec. 31, a New Year’s Eve Star-gazing program begins at 7:30 p.m. and include a telescope viewing, weather permitting. Attendees meet at the Borrego Palm Canyon Campground Amphitheater to ring in the New Year. — For other program dates, maps and camping information, visit theabf.org
Bishop’s robotics team wins championship Last month, SWARM, a group of Bishop’s School middle-schoolers skilled in robotics (Ryland Birchmeier ’22, Logan Johnson ’22, Joshua Lee ’23, Nikhil Raisinghani ’22, Stanley Wei ’22 and Michael Zeng ’22) took home first place in robotics performance and won the qualifier champions award at the First LEGO League (FLL) Southern California regional tournament. The team was victorious again on Dec. 4 at the championship tournament at LEGOLAND, where 60 teams competed. The boys took first place in the robot performance award category and second place in the inspiration award category. 450 teams from Southern California competed for the qualification tournament, and of those teams, COURTESY 120 went on to the regional championship (60 The Bishop’s School SWARM team 2016 teams per day Dec. 3 and Dec. 4). The FLL competition is made up of three parts: the robot game, the project and the core values. Team SWARM programmed an autonomous robot, with the goal to score points on a themed playing field (robot game). They also developed a solution to an identified problem (the project). And all their efforts were guided by the FLL core values. The project component of the competition involved finding a way to work together with animal allies.

Comedian Monique Martinez of Snoop Dog’s Bad Girls of Comedy recently headlined the eighth annual Live Well Project Comedy Show Fundraiser, co-hosted by Carlos Gutierrez, a sales associate with the La Jolla office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, at The Comedy Store in La Jolla. Proceeds raised were donated to the annual Live Well Project. “I have been associated with this great organization for many years,” said Gutierrez. “I’m excited that our Comedy Show fundraiser helped raise funds for the Live Well Project, and that it will help those who need it.” The Live Well Project is a free event taking place Jan. 8 in Los Angeles for at-risk girls, ages 11-19, which offers an inspirational day of fun and fitness to empower young women
with knowledge and confidence to build strong and healthy lives.
