By Ashley Mackin Three male burglary suspects were arrested Friday morning (Jan. 16) in La Jolla when they were found to be in possession of stolen property belonging to as many as eight people. Their vehicle was stopped near the intersection of La Jolla Boulevard and Sea Lane. Sgt. Erich Bennett told La Jolla Light residents were reporting a black Honda they believed was casing the neighborhood — driving up and down streets slowly — and callers also witnessed the passengers checking for unlocked car door handles. When the car, identified by vehicle description and license plate number, once again appeared in La Jolla that morning, residents phoned police, who pulled the vehicle over and questioned the driver and the two passengers. “We saw there were surfboards in the car and asked if they were going surfing,” Bennett said. “When they said they were, we asked where

Police stop a black Honda on La Jolla Blvd. at Sea Lane and find stolen property inside on Jan. 16. (they were going to surf) and they couldn’t name a local surf spot or a beach in the area.” The driver/registered owner of the vehicle gave police permission to search the car, and police found stolen property belonging to seven or eight victims, who were called to identify and collect their property. Items included surfboards, clothing,

GPS navigation systems, cell phones, large amounts of change and other miscellaneous items. The driver had a “miscellaneous” warrant out for his arrest, and was taken to jail early Jan. 16. The two passengers were also taken to jail and will be charged with several counts of robbery. The suspects seemed to target

unlocked cars, Bennett said, and advised residents to never leave their cars unlocked and never leave items of value in plain sight. It is not known whether the thefts carried out by these suspects are related to the series of commercial robberies that have taken place in the Village over the last month. u

La Jolla bank latest hit in string of robberies

Police update Shores Assn. on crime-fighting measures By Ashley Mackin At the Jan. 14 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting, San Diego Police Department Lt. Scott Wahl updated the board and attendees on recent efforts taken to stop drug-related crimes in beach communities. Their work helped establish a connection between these drug crimes and burglaries — typically from vehicles in the area. “We had, for the last couple of months, an undercover operation that was in Pacific Beach, up to Bird Rock,” he said. “There were 17 different people whom we were successfully able to buy drugs from — 15 of those subjects have been arrested and nine have already pleaded guilty.” See Crime Fighting, A6

San Diego Police robbery detectives are investigating a bank heist Wednesday, Jan. 14 in La Jolla. A man entered the Regents Bank on Prospect Street (at Fay Avenue) shortly after 4 p.m. wearing a black ski mask with only the “eyes” cut out, and demanded cash, police said, He left the bank after getting the money. He was rolling a green suitcase with a handle as he fled in an unknown direction, according to police. The robber did not brandish a weapon or threaten to use one, police said. He was described as a white male in his late 20s to early 40s. He also wore a black hoodie, faded blue jeans and brown work boots. u

Flurry of road work ongoing in the Village n Major concrete street replacement, resurfacing on Coast Blvd. to begin Feb. 9 By Pat Sherman The heavy schedule of street resurfacing, storm drain replacement and utilities undergrounding in the Village of La Jolla is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Bill Harris, a representative for the City of San Diego Transportation & Storm Water department, said the work includes various, separate repair jobs that have long been in the pipeline, though have recently passed environmental, funding or other bureaucratic hurdles at about the same time. “It just so happens that we’re running into all of these at once,” Harris said. “The mayor has made a very specific commitment to road repairs … (and the city) has been getting more and more money. It’s not just in La Jolla; we’ve been very active all over town … (but) with La Jolla being such a tight space, (these projects) really do bump into each other.”

A section of damaged concrete street on lower Girard Avenue (left) and on Coast Boulevard adjacent Scripps Park. Photos by Pat Sherman in this fiscal year; if we’re not going to be able to expend it on the streets, it will get reallocated,” Harris said. “It essentially means that we have to have that project all but done and buttoned up at the end of April … or there’s no guarantee of when the funding is going to come back and be available.” The street will be replaced on Coast Boulevard (above La Jolla Cove), from Brockton Villa restaurant to lower Girard Avenue, and on lower Girard (up to Prospect Street) and on South Coast Boulevard between lower Girard and Jenner Street. For the work on Coast Boulevard and lower Girard, one lane of traffic will remain open at all times, allowing work to start on the opposite side of the street. The work will take approximately two weeks for each side. “There will always be a place for somebody to drive down,” Harris said. “Whether you’re

going to be able to park immediately adjacent to the business that you’re interested in, that’s another story.” On South Coast Boulevard, an entire half of the street will be closed in two, eight-day work phases, with all vehicle access to driveways and street parking in the closed section blocked during that time. Harris presented the project to the La Jolla Community Planning Association Jan 5. and the Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) Jan. 14. LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune requested that the work not disrupt the upcoming Concours d’Elegance auto show, April 10-12 in Scripps Park, or La Jolla Half Marathon April 6. The LJVMA board voted to support the work, contingent upon it taking place between its requested seven-week window of Monday, Feb. 9 through Friday, March 27.

Harris later told the La Jolla Light the city would have to confirm these dates with its contractor, though he did not foresee any conflict that would prevent the project from moving forward during that time. Although the work is slated to take place 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, Harris told La Valencia Hotel’s director of sales and marketing, Rita Moore, he would see if he could get the start time delayed to prevent early morning noise issues for residents and hotel guests. Although damage to Coast Boulevard is apparent, LJVMA board member Glen Rasmussen asked why South Coast Boulevard was being reconstructed at this time. Harris told the Light the criteria used to schedule streets for reconstruction include: their condition as assessed using a laser displacement process; a street’s short- and long-term maintenance and resurfacing history, whether it fronts a school, emergency or tourist facility, community input and requests from the mayor or a city council representative. “This street has been on the top of mayor and council lists for a while,” Harris said. “There are not that many concrete streets in San Diego. They’re typically on the steeper hills or the more highly traveled (streets).” At Fortune’s request, Harris said he would also put Roslyn Lane on the city’s radar. An alley off Prospect Street and Ivanhoe Avenue where the LJVMA rents office space, Fortune maintained Roslyn is “the worst street in the Village.” u

MidCentury Architecture | Unsurp

Shores board OKs land development code update La Jolla

Shores

Association

Residents gather to hear the board’s plans for the city’s proposed regulations on religious assembly in La Jolla Shores. For the visitor zone (limited in the Shores to the area around Torrey Pines Road near Hotel La Jolla), and the commercial zone (primarily confined to the business district along Avenida de la Playa), the city suggested language defining the permitting process. It reads that within the visitor and commercial zones, “no building or improvement or portion thereof, shall be erected, constructed, converted, established, altered or enlarged, nor shall any premises be used except for one or more of the following purposes … assembly and entertainment uses, including churches and places of religious assembly as a conditional

use subject to a Process Three Conditional Use Permit (requiring a higher level of scrutiny) in accordance with Land Development Code.” The assembly regulations were one of several items on a list. At the December LJSA meeting, when this item was initially brought forth, it was unknown what defines a “large assembly.” At the January meeting, LaCava said the city considers any gathering of 300 or more to be subject to these regulations. Of the visitor and commercial zones, La Cava said, “If the (planned) attendance is over 300, they would need a Conditional Use Permit, which includes regulations on capacity,

Ashley Mackin

hours of operations and parking, and discretionary permits.” As such, any proposed project in the Shores would have to present to LJSA as part of the permit process. “The key thing that binds them is large numbers of people coming together in one building for some kind of activity,” he said, adding that the new language regulates religious gatherings and large assemblies with the same rules. LaCava explained that the city updates the land development code annually to reflect changes in policy or to correct errors. “In the seventh update, the City of San Diego recognized La Jolla Shores is the only

By Ashley Mackin Addressing a standing-room-only crowd at its Jan. 14 meeting, La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) reviewed and approved language regarding religious institutions to be inserted into the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance, its blueprint for development, as part of the ninth update to San Diego’s Land Development Code. The language was needed to clarify regulations on large assemblies. Presenting as “a friend of La Jolla Shores,” Joe LaCava, chair of La Jolla Community Planning Association — which reviews land development issues and makes recommendations to the city — explained the city’s proposed language for the Shores, a community that is largely single- and multi-family residential zones. The recommendations include striking “churches, temples or buildings of a permanent nature, used primarily for religious purposes” from the list of permitted uses in the residential zones.

place in the entire city where you could build a religious facility in single-family zones,” he said, and the update incorporated language prohibiting religious assembly in the residential zones. However, the regulatory language was missing in the eighth update — likely due to litigation accusing the city of regulating religious activities, which violates separation of church and state. Supporting the language, LaCava added that this verbiage is “better than what was used in the seventh update.” The board voted to support incorporating the new language into the La Jolla Shores PDO, 11-1-1. The proposed language will now go before the Planning Commission for a vote next month, and proceed to the San Diego City Council a few months after that, and finally to the California Coastal Commission, LaCava said. It would likely be enforceable in 2017. Projects already in the works would not be affected by the new guidelines, for example, the Hillel Center for Jewish Life, proposed to serve students at UCSD at a center off La Jolla Village Drive off Torrey Pines Road. LJSA chair Tim Lucas added that even if a future project meets regulations to build a religious gathering place in the Shores, petitioners would have to accommodate existing parking requirements of 30 spaces for every 1,000 square feet, a challenge given available space and cost of land.

In other LJSA news: n Business closes for construction In light of the heavy construction along Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores to

replace sewer and water lines, Café Solange (formerly Voulez Vous Bistro) will be closed Monday-Thursday until March or April. Hopeful that the work will be completed by then, several La Jolla Shores merchants are planning a beautification project afterward. “We want to make the area nicer than it was before,” said Terry Kraszewski, owner of Ocean Girl surf attire shop.

n Streetlights need attention Several residents commented that streetlights in the Shores — some along Paseo del Ocaso, La Jolla Shores Drive and Calle Frescota — have been burned out for some time, requiring city attention. One resident reported that a few nights prior to the LJSA meeting, a vehicle under a nonworking streetlight was broken into. “The problem is that they get fixed and then burn out again quickly, so there seems to be an undergrounding issue,” said LJSA secretary Dolores Donovan. Justin Garver, representing the office of City Council President Sherri Lightner, said the likely cause is damage to the underground conduit, in which case, the lights come back on and burn out again a few nights later. Should that be confirmed, San Diego Gas & Electric would need to be involved in the repair, and that adds time to the process. Garver also said having an address is helpful to city staff, when residents report non-working lights. n Next meeting La Jolla Shores next meets, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11 at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Building T-29, 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org@gmail.com u

La Jolla Village merchants consider crime deterrents By Pat Sherman During the Jan. 14 meeting of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), trustees discussed the recent rash of commercial burglaries and street robberies in the Village — something board member Glen Rasmussen said he believes is unprecedented in La Jolla. “I’ve lived in the Village for 40 years and I don’t remember a recurrence of crimes like this by similarly described perpetrators,” he said. “To have a string like this is not good for business. … We need to be as proactive as we can to increase police presence.” Rasmussen, who is board chair of La Jolla Community Center, said the center recently installed security cameras as a deterrent to would-be thieves. “We worked with a local security firm and purchased the cameras and we feel a lot safer,” he said. “The technology is improving so rapidly. It’s actually pretty cheap to get a few cameras placed around your business that would aid in

apprehending these people.” LJVMA trustee Claudette Berwin of Gallery Properties said her office installed “strategically placed” cameras after it was vandalized 18 months ago. “They are so inexpensive (and) you can get them at Costco,” she said. “It was just a nobrainer. … If everybody had those, it might send a message saying, ‘Not here.’ ” Fellow trustee Billy Borja reported an attempted robbery this month at the Coin Shop on Girard Avenue, adjacent his business, Orangetheory Fitness. “Luckily, they were not able to penetrate the locks on the facility,”

Borja said, “but they did some (extensive) damage there.” Borja suggested merchants advise employees not to walk alone at night, and always avoid taking shortcuts down alleys. As an added precaution, he said he staffs two employees at night to lock up his business. “As merchants I think we need to be vigilant,” Borja said. “If you see anything suspicious, don’t just shrug it off like it’s nothing. Call the non-emergency (police) … line.” The number is (619) 531-2000. LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said she has also warned restaurant owners to have employees follow the buddy system when leaving at night. “We take for granted that we live in this beautiful, safe environment and one of our advantages is to be able to walk around and not really think about those things,” Fortune said. Board members say they may organize a Neighborhood Watch group in the future to keep the Village business district safer. u

From Crime Fighting, A1 Part of the operation involved using “bait bikes” — bikes with tracking devices installed on them — that were placed in locations police believed appealing to thieves. When these bikes were stolen, the tracking device would activate and police followed them to identify the riders. “We’ve been very successful doing that last year ... One significant arrest shows the nexus between the crime (stealing) and the drugs because one of the individuals we arrested had a dozen credit cards in his pocket (taken from burglarized vehicles),” Wahl said. Building on that success, Wahl said San Diego Police’s Northern Division (which includes La Jolla) is looking at expanding the program to place tracking devices on other bait items.

Regarding armed robberies To address the series of armed commercial robberies in the Village since mid-December, plain clothes officers have been stationed in the Village seven days a week, Wahl told LJSA. These officers are assigned in the evenings to commercial areas, hoping to catch the burglars in the series of recently connected robberies. The Beach Team, typically assigned to beach areas during the summer months, has also been called up to assist detectives in their investigation. Since Dec. 16, 2014, two (sometimes three) suspects identified as “tall, adult, black males ages 20-30, between 5-foot-7-inches to 6-feet tall, with a thin to heavy build, usually wearing dark colored clothing, including hooded sweatshirts pulled up to their faces, and usually armed with a silver or dark-colored handgun” robbed several La Jolla businesses, as well as businesses across San Diego.

Panhandling to legislative forefront Lt. Adam Sharki — who will take over from Lt. Wahl as a police representative at LJSA meetings starting next month — reported that in La Jolla and Bird Rock, “quality of life” issues are the most prevalent. “In some other areas of the city; violent crimes are the big tickets,” Sharki said. “But in La Jolla, you see a lot of these issues with homeless people sleeping on bridges, panhandling on medians or leaving trash around.” Sharki said new legislation currently in the works, which addreses people standing on medians begging for food or money, would give the City of San Diego the ability to enforce panhandling as it sees fit. u

Professor of Global Art and Politics at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. Bishop shared information on the new high-tech Navy destroyer USS Zumwalt, a superweapon with computerenhanced capabilities for sensing the world ... but for destructive purposes. He also mentioned Planetary Skin, which is a satellite imaging system with the high side of keeping track of global ecology, but which some people fear could be used for politically motivated surveillance practices. Bratton returned to the podium to wrap things up, noting, “There are other ways to look at the world than to just measure it as scientists do … Will artificial intelligence save us or destroy us? Will it be used for benefit or for harm?” Much to the audience’s dismay, the speakers held off on naming specific works of art that would be in the upcoming gallery show, stating they would decide that soon. However, Bratton mentioned an example of one of his projects, which involved art gallery patrons receiving temporary tattoos with special ink that would enhance their sensing capabilities of the environment around them. u

previously unknown Andy Warhol digital paintings, made in the Debbie Harrystyle, which were found on old floppy disks dating back to a Warhol 1985 project, where he used the paint function of the Amiga computer, in a cooperative Benjamin venture with the company. Bratton Parikka shared the details of an experiment he had “excavated,” dating to 1879, wherein a clock was set up to be powered by electrodes implanted in the Earth. Parikka updated the project by constructing a device that could be stuck into the ground, and then one could plug a computer into it for power. The next speaker was Keller, director of the Center for Transformational Media at the New School in New York. He also teaches at Parsons New School of Design. Keller’s interests are in architecture, film, technology and ecology. He shared an all- encompassing flowchart that linked all the ideas, films, books, popular writers and philosophers related to the topic of artificial intelligence, providing a superb overview to the audience. Especially interesting were the clips from relevant films, such as “Code 46”, “Her” (by Spike Jonze), “Man With a Movie Camera” (1929), and “A Scanner Darkly” (from Phillip Dick), which he screened. Next up was Bishop, an American

sensing (sight, hearing, touch) might come together in new ways and lead to unprecedented capabilities for knowing and experiencing the world. Imagine what it might be like if we could pack on a Jordan computer to enhance our Crandall natural vision, hearing, tactile sensing — or even thinking! The hope of participants was to sketch a new program for the modeling and development of such a synthetic or artificial intelligence — but not artificial intelligence as a disembodied artificial mind, but one that combines the biological mind with the capabilities of the computer. Crandall opened the discussion by thanking Calit2 for supporting experimental projects like this one. Co-host Bratton followed up with, “we are not out just for more data, but to enhance how we sense and feel things that are out there in the world.” The first presenter was Jussi Parikka, from Finland, who speaks five languages. Parikka is a professor in Technological Culture & Aesthetics at Winchester School of Art at the University of Southampton in England. He specializes in media archaeology, media theory and network biopolitics. Media archaeologists, like Parikka, were ecstatic over the recent unearthing of several

By Will Bowen he problem is that all our ideas about artificial intelligence are outdated and obsolete,” claims UC San Diego Visual Arts Professor Brett Stalbaum, “and we suffer from irrational fears (such as the one so often seen in popular media) that robots and computer brains will become too smart and then try to take over and destroy us. “Worse yet is the thought, which we just can’t stand, that computers — even though they are inanimate objects — don’t give a damn about us. We want them to care!” Stalbaum made these remarks at a reception for the Autonomous Sensing Conference Jan. 9 at Calit2 Auditorium in Atkinson Hall on the UCSD campus. The conference served as a precursor (think tank) for the upcoming Spring 2015 Calit2 Art Gallery exhibition, “Autonomous Sensing,” which will run April 9 to June 5. UCSD Visual Arts Professors Jordan Crandall and Benjamin Bratton co-hosted the conference, which featured speakers Jussi Parikka, Edward Keller and Ryan Bishop. Each gave a presentation and then convened for a panel discussion to lay the intellectual groundwork for the selection of artwork to be included in the upcoming gallery show. The overall idea behind the conference was to explore and imagine a world where machine sensing (such as GPS) and human

3 Common Issues that Keep Homes from Selling 1) a high list price: Listing your home higher than those of comparable homes for sale in your area will hurt your chances of getting bids. Buyers will pass you up in favor of similar ones with more reasonable listing prices. this can also hurt you if your home does not sell and stays on the market too long. Buyers will wonder if there is something wrong with your home that has kept it from selling. 2) Lack of preparation: it is important to get your home ready for the market. this can mean getting rid of clutter, repainting, making needed repairs and cleaning thoroughly. Buyers might not even consider your home if it is showing obvious signs of wear and tear. 3) Poor quality or few photos: studies show that over 90% of buyers choose which homes they want to view by seeing them first on the internet. You only have a few moments to capture a buyers desire to view your home when they first see it. Professional pictures with the proper lighting, right angles and views of all areas of your home are extremely important in making yours the one they must see!

Scouts tour North Island Helicopter Base in Coronado By Sandra Punta a Jolla Boy Scouts from Troop 4 were treated to a tour of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron Eights’ “Ready Room” and MH-60 Sierra helicopters last week. The boys were given a tour and presentation by HSC-8 Commanding Officer Will Shipp. The Squadron provides vertical lift multi-mission operational support for Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) and the USS Nimitz (CVN 68). “Getting inside of a real helicopter was the coolest part of the tour,” one Scout said. It gave the boys an opportunity to see a military helicopter up close and learn about some of the missions HSC-8 regularly performs. This is just one of the many experiences the Scouts are offered. Along with hiking and camping trips, the boys learn leadership skills through various activities to last a lifetime. Troop 4 La Jolla was established in 1912 and is the oldest troop west of the Mississippi. Boys, ages 11 or older, who are interested in learning more about the troop are invited to an Open House at 6:45 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26 at La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Avenue, where the troop holds its meetings.

Merchants hear industry plans to ease vacation rental woes n Expect $527,460 BID budget for 2015

La Jolla Village Merchants Association By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) heard a presentation by representatives of San Diego’s vacation rental industry Jan. 14, who are proposing a permit fee for vacation rental operators. After grappling with the issue of shortterm vacation rentals at length last year, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) asked the city to increase enforcement of vacation rentals. Some residents are frustrated with loud noise, trash and parking issues resulting from private residences that are rented out for short durations and sometimes used for private parties. Lucas Murdock of the San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance (SDVRMA) said his association is following up on its pledge to the LJCPA to create a system of stronger self-

increase enforcement, “giving the existing programs some more teeth to hold owneroperators more accountable.”

Murdock said the permit fee would generate revenue that will “ideally go directly to enforcement for better community planning and good neighbor laws and noise abatement laws. We do have (regulations) in place, but they’re not very effective.” The proposed permitting process would also allow residents to easily discover who the owner-operators of vacation rentals are, so they can contact them directly should problems arise, he said. “The second component of that is a penalty system so that if there are violations confirmed, there’s sort of a tiered program where (the owner) would be fined, and then risk losing their permit if it’s a consistent issue,” Murdock said, adding there are currently 462 residences listed as short-term rentals in La Jolla. “Those are guests of ours coming into town, going to your restaurants, going to your shops, buying goods and spending money in the community,” Murdock said. La Jolla’s short-term rentals generate $4.4 million in transient occupancy tax for the city’s general fund annually and, according to a study commissioned by the short-term rental industry, an estimated $39 million in revenue for businesses in La Jolla each year (or $312 million citywide). Doing the math, LJVMA board member Richard Walker said, “That’s $85,000 per residence per year (in La Jolla spending). That’s phenomenal if that’s true.”

Jonah Mechanic, founder of La Jolla-based SeaBreeze Vacation Rentals, said the firm the industry hired to do the study used figures provided by the San Diego Tourism Authority, based on an average 5.5 visitors per rental, per stay. LJVMA trustee Elsie Arredondo and vicepresident James Niebling said they would like Murdock and Mechanic to return with a copy of the report and more statistics. Fortune agreed the LJVMA board would benefit from understanding how those numbers were calculated before it takes any potential action to support the industry’s plans. “I would suggest you consider coming back and doing a more in-depth presentation. “I’d like to see more of the stats that you quoted and sources,” Fortune said, questioning whether vacation rental operators are paying their business tax certificate fee, which businesses in the Village of La Jolla are assessed annually to help fund the LJVMA’s mission to boost business in the area. Elizabeth Studebaker, the mayor’s Business Improvement District advocate, later told La Jolla Light vacation rental operators in La Jolla do not pay BID fees. “Hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts are paying the BID assessment through the rental tax,” Studebaker reported, via e-mail, adding, “No property classified as singlefamily residential and paying rental tax is being assessed a BID assessment.” However, she said operators of short-term vacation rentals (defined by the city as

The City of San Diego is considering how it will deal with the odor at La Jolla Cove caused by excrement on the bluffs from birds and a sea lions. According to City of San Diego Park & Recreation Department spokesperson Bill Harris, options for a long-term solution include additional applications of a microbial spray it has been using for more than a year to control the problem and, potentially, some form of sea lion behavior modification training. (The city is currently considering hiring Precision Behavior to coax the sea lions from the bluffs). “No decision about which method, or combination of methods, the city will select has been made,” Harris said Jan. 16. “The city expects to announce its preferred options within the next few weeks.”

Spotlight on Local

For designer Leslie Fastlicht Russo, her heritage is her muse By Marti Gacioch Her rich, ethnic heritage coupled with childhood memories of her two grandmothers’ bold jewelry statements, provide inspiration for Leslie Fastlicht Russo’s jewelry collections at LFR Designs. A literature/history major, Russo said she began making jewelry as a hobby. Her grandmothers’ pieces served as her muse, and continue to resonate in her newest designs. She draws on their diverse backgrounds — Polish, Russian, Greek and Israeli. “Both my grandmothers never wore jewelry like everyone else wore,” Russo said. “My maternal Hungarian grandmother wore a Greek, 2-karat matte-hammered gold ring that she never took off, and I found it reminiscent of the beautiful ancestral jewelry-making in Greece.” Her other grandmother frequently wore cameos, which Russo incorporates in her contemporary rings and pendants set in rose gold. Both grandmothers also wore a lot of coral and turquoise — two of Russo’s favorite natural stones.

Jewelry samples by Leslie Fastlicht Russo of LFR Designs Russo said she started out by making a necklace for a friend and soon began receiving other commissions. “I made 50 necklaces to see if they’d sell, and from there, I began to set small goals for myself,” Russo said. For the first six years of her business, Russo worked out of her home studio in her free time, while her children were at school. Her artistic breakthrough came after participating in a designer show in Mexico City, where people

loved her work. Soon afterward, Mexico City’s Saks Fifth Avenue picked up her jewelry line, and she opened a shop on Prospect Street in La Jolla. Russo’s spring collection features a line of dramatic cameo earrings surrounded by Swarovski crystals. Her new collection also showcases single- and double-beaded necklaces with one large dangling pendant that falls low on the neck. “I’m using a lot of organic stones for these necklaces, including

moonstone and volcanic rock,” Russo said. “I’m also working with laser-cut laminated sterling silver to design earrings that are lightweight and look like Flemish lace.” Russo encourages her clients to wear their jewelry pieces daily, instead of storing them away for special occasions. “I tell customers not to be afraid of wearing things out — even if they’re running an errand or going to their children’s schools in jeans and T-shirts.” The pieces were made (and purchased)

Are you, or someone you know, Hard of Hearing? Brainhearing can help. BrainHearing technology provides a wide range of hearing benefits to its user, including: • Helping both ears work together • Recognizing and preserving natural speech • Separating speech from background noise • Coordinating how sound is best understood by your brain What happens in your ears when you listen to a conversation is actually a very small part of the process of hearing. The real heavy lifting is done by a different part of your body: your brain. It’s in the brain that sound waves become sounds that have meaning to you. Your brain is what uses the information from your two ears to figure out where a sound is coming from. And your brain is what helps you focus in on a conversation and tune out unwanted noise. And because no two people’s brains are the same, no two people hear the same. Recognizing that your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint inspired Oticon to innovate their revolutionary BrainHearing technology. BrainHearing technology enables Oticon hearing instruments to be minutely tuned by a hearing care professional to match your unique hearing profile and personal sound preferences. Then it delivers sound with the clearest, purest signal possible in the way your brain is best able to understand it. BrainHearing technology delivers a more natural, effortless listening experience — one that leads the industry.

La Jolla High football parents support program

here has been some negative press recently regarding the La Jolla High School (LJHS) football program. What is missing from the articles that appeared in the Voice of San Diego and the La Jolla Light is a fair account of the many positive things the football program and its coaches have done over the past several years. In fact, the LJHS football program has been ahead of the curve when it comes to promoting player safety and engaging in research and education in sports injuries, including concussion. Our sons have participated in the LJHS football program over the last several years (as many as six years for some). In the last two seasons, Coach Jason Carter has done a herculean job to improve the safety and conditioning structure for all players. He spearheaded an effort to remodel the weight room and established opportunities for all LJHS athletes to train and condition throughout the year, which yielded a far lower injury rate among football players during the two most recent seasons. Ahead of the curve on safety, he implemented concussion education and safe hitting practices for all players. Furthermore, four years ago, the Viking football program (under prior head coach Rey Hernandez and continuing with

Carter) took part in an approved UC San Diego research protocol with Dr. Steve Hayden looking at concussions in high school players. The project evaluated several practical sideline tests for detecting subtle signs of concussion and involved baseline screening for all players, as well as repeat testing for any player suspected of having sustained a concussion during the season. Dr. Hayden now has data to support further testing and would be willing to help the San Diego Unified School District add baseline neurological assessment criteria and some quick field assessment tools for all training staff and coaches. The players and coaches benefited from participating in this multi-year research study by increasing awareness of the signs and symptoms of concussion and encouraging the players to speak up when they or a teammate had even the slightest suspicion of sustaining a head injury. Dr. Hayden and LJHS Athletic Trainer, Ben Lowe, use these neurological assessment tools routinely on the sidelines during football games when they are made aware of an injured player. In conclusion, as parents, we have been impressed with Coach Carter’s dedication to the health and well being of every player. This has included establishing required after-school

study halls, nutrition lectures, yoga and bonding experiences like paint-ball, inspirational movies and team dinners. The entire coaching staff has been open to suggestions, supportive of education and training, and has been proactive in their efforts to improve conditioning, reduce injuries and build true team spirit. Coach Carter’s mantra to the boys is “We are a Family.” In their discussions about safety on and off the field, Coach Carter encouraged the boys to look out for and respect one another and always remember that they represent the long history and traditions of excellence of La Jolla High School at all times. As parents of players on the team we wholeheartedly support Coach Carter and the LJHS coaching staff and would like to recognize the positive accomplishments over the past several years.

Who’s got $2 million to start the city of La Jolla?

so if Del Mar can do it, so can we. We live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth and every day another chunk is taken out of it. It can be stopped and the rebuild can begin. It only takes money. The key in becoming your own city is you get to contract your own people, you do not use the city and pay $80 per pothole ... you pay $8. Our group, Friends Of WindanSea, built a set of stairs at the beach with the city and paid $85,000. Then we did a second set of stairs there with a private contractor and paid only $35,000! So you can see we have the ability to save hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. Then those funds are used to fix, repair and improve. If we want to save our community, before any

more damage is done to it, we must become our own city, it is possible! There is a process in place, and yes, we can afford it. We did a study in 2005 that proved it, but we were unable to raise the $2 million, which is what it would have cost to follow through, and there is a timetable we had to meet or start all over again. So, that is where we are now. Someone out there must want to become the founder of the City of La Jolla, and be a hero forever. Please come forward, find us at Independent La Jolla (independentlajolla.org). We need a hero. It will be the best thing you ever spent money on — the creation and saving of a city. u Melinda Merryweather La Jolla

I need to respond to the letter titled “How much does it cost to operate La Jolla?” in the Jan. 15 issue. The writer says he does not believe La Jolla can become its own city as it cannot afford to. He is so wrong! I would like him to go to Del Mar and see how 4,000-5,000 people do it. There is not a pothole, not a destroyed alley, no endless destroyed sidewalks. The trees and hedges are trimmed. It is amazing and historically perserved. It is what La Jolla should be and deserves to be and will be! We are (a population of) more than 45,000,

OBITUARIES Kathleen Jane “Kathy” O’Neill

1948 – 2015

Kathy (nee Landers) O’Neill died on Sunday, January 11, 2015, at 10:35 a.m. at Scripps Green Hospital with her husband, Bob, and her daughters, Shannon and Erin, by her side. She was born March 30, 1948, in Monticello, Iowa. Bob and Kathy married on July 19, 1985, at All Hallows Catholic Church. Residing in Scripps Ranch, they moved to La Jolla in 1989. Although ill for a number of years with an undetermined illness, she was finally diagnosed in August 2001 with a degenerative neurological condition. She was cared for at home by family for four years. Since May 2, 2005, she was cared for at Seasons at La Jolla. The kindness, dignity, care and love Kathy received from staff and caregivers at Seasons at La Jolla and Scripps Green Hospital will

never be forgotten. Her love of fashion led to her work at Capriccio’s in La Jolla, a fashion boutique. Long active with the All Hallows and Mary, Star of the Sea Parishes, she volunteered many hours to Girl Scouts, Friends of the Poor, Social Service Auxiliary, St. Vincent de Paul and Adopt-aFamily. An avid jogger, tennis player, bicyclist and aerobics participant, her illness took away her physical abilities and she was wheelchair bound and bedridden for many years. Kathy is survived by her husband and daughters; her son, Dr. Ronald S. Hillers; granddaughters, Kjersten and Elle Hillers; and numerous other family. Mass of Christian Burial was held at All Hallows Church on January 20, 2015, with burial at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, San Diego. Kathy was an organ donor.

Elizabeth Quimby Dunn 1936 – 2015

Elizabeth Dunn, 78, passed away peacefully on January 8, 2015, surrounded by her five children. She was born in Columbus, Wisconsin, in February 1936. Elizabeth graduated from Markesan

High School at 16 and was awarded a music scholarship to attend Oshkosh State College with the dream of becoming a conductor. Two years later she married and moved to Arizona to start a family. While raising her family she resumed her education and pursued a Master’s Degree in English Literature from Arizona State University. Elizabeth was a devoted mother who cherished her family. We have fond memories of long summers in Payson where each night she rang the dinner bell calling us back to the cabin for a delicious meal and a night of games or reading. The dictionary was always handy for word games with her children and grandchildren. She traveled the world, made friends easily and kept contact with many. Elizabeth loved to cook, read, entertain and maintained a lifelong love of music, especially jazz and opera. She had a passion for education which later in life led her

to study French abroad, a treasured experience. She was proud of her Irish heritage and her green eyes sparkled when listening to Irish music or poetry. Over the past 20 plus years, Elizabeth divided her time between her homes in Phoenix and La Jolla. Preceding her in death were her parents, Lawrence and Mabel Dunn (nee Quimby); brothers, Tom and John Dunn; and sister, Margaret Gust. She is survived by her children, Sara (Gary) Cabirac, Tim (Diane) Steinhilber, Lisa (John) Andrews, Ted Steinhilber and Greg (Susan) Steinhilber; and ten grandchildren. Elizabeth is also survived by her sisters, Mary Doda and Louise Hartung; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Elizabeth was a force of nature and will be dearly missed. A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, February 8, 2015, between

STEM-ming Interest

Expert has tips for engaging young children in science By Ashley Mackin n education in STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — is at the forefront of teaching as elementary schools nationwide put extra emphasis on these subjects, hoping to spur interest in the sciences at a young age. With several of the fastest growing occupations requiring an understanding of STEM principles, it’s more important than ever. Is it possible to give your toddler a foundation in STEM thinking, so he or she is ready to embrace these concepts in school? Katherine Williams, Ph.D., a child and adolescent psychologist at UC San Diego’s Rady Children’s Hospital, thinks so. “Having an early start and piquing an early interest and development in STEM learning can help set children on that trajectory to learning and developing careers in STEM,” she said during an interview with La Jolla Light. Williams, a La Jolla resident and mother of four, touts the importance of encouraging that thinking through play. “We know that the younger children learn and are exposed to STEM-based activities, the more likely that they will build skills in those areas as they get older and the more likely they will be to choose to learn more in those areas,” she said. “When it comes to learning, especially at the toddler age, the

more time they spend exploring, the more the neurons in the brain are developing.” But letting the child lead the way as far as which activities to explore is key, she said. “Parents can start at a very young age because children learn best through play,” Williams explained. “There are so many games, puzzles, pattern recognition games, etc. that stimulate the brain development. But instead of forcing them, find out what your child responds to. If they like Legos, show them how pattern recognition can lead to bigger and better projects. Follow their play and what they are interested in and find a way to bring STEM into what they like.” Williams said her 5-year-old daughter loves Disney’s animated film “Frozen,” and so “there is a learning game online for children to learn how to write (computer) code using ‘Frozen.’ So they can make Elsa ice skate or create snowflakes that fall across their screens — all by writing code,” she said. Have a little Padres fan at home? “Baseball is all about math and statistics,” she said, adding that sports can be a way to make physics interesting for children. When it comes to technology, Williams said early use and introduction has its advantages when used as one avenue of learning. “Kids are using technology at a younger and younger age and that can be a doubleedged sword,” she said. “On one hand, they can use computers better than most older adults. On the other hand, you want to make sure they are not just using computer games or apps, and limiting other areas of learning or exploring, such as art, sports or music.” Williams said when children have motor skills to work a computer mouse and can un-

La Jollan among first athletes to compete in Cuban triathlon By Pat Sherman A La Jolla man is among 25 U.S. athletes who will compete in Cuba for the first time during the Habana Camtri Triathlon, Jan. 24-25 in downtown Havana. It took three months for the U.S. Treasury Department to clear the athletes for the trip, which was made possible by President Obama’s recent relaxing of travel regulations with Cuba. It will make the athletes the very first Americans to compete professionally on the island. “My daughter said, ‘Oh, that’s like getting the golden ticket from Willy Wonka!’ ” said Turquand, 45, co-owner of San Diego-based Xterra Wetsuits. Turquand’s group is part of the USA Triathlon organization, which extended the invitation to its 300,000 members on a firstcome, first-served basis. “The 25 spots were given out within minutes,” he said. “I knew they were going to do it, and as soon as I got the e-mail I immediately signed up.” Turquand is also gearing up for a Half Ironman in Oceanside March 28. In Havana, he will compete in a sprint, the shortest of the Ironman events, which includes a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilometer bike ride and a 5-kilometer run. “I’m doing the sprint because, honestly, I want to get done with the race and go sightsee,” he said. “I went and got a guidebook at Warwick’s that lists the top 10 (tourist) sites, the top 10 rum bars and the top 10 Cuban cigar bars. My goal is try and hit the top two on each of the lists.” Turquand, who visited Vietnam two

Glynn Turquand months ago, said he also plans to tour old Havana in one of the island’s copious 1950s American cars, taking in the lush scenery and culture of the Communist country. Tens of thousands of vintage American cars remain scattered throughout Cuba, manufactured before the U.S. embargo. With no automobile imports coming into the country, the cars are well preserved by Cuban mechanics. “It’s my way of stepping back in time,” Turquand said. “I’m interested in seeing Cuba before America’s influence (takes hold) — hopefully in a positive way.” u

New permanent exhibit at theNAT was three years in the making By Linda Hutchison ention San Diego to anyone outside the area, and chances are the first things they think of are its beaches and warm climate. What most don’t realize, even those of us living here, is that our region is one of the most diverse in the world, with terrain ranging from coastal beaches and chaparral to urban canyons, mountains and desert. This terrain makes Southern California one of only 35 biodiversity hotspots in the world — meaning areas that have the highest concentration of different species of any geographic area of similar size. Now, thanks to a new exhibit at Balboa Park’s Natural History Museum called “Coast to Cactus in Southern California,” it’s possible to experience and appreciate this tremendous diversity all under one roof.

Here in San Diego we have flat mesas dissected by canyons,” Hager continued. “There are different microclimates in each area and elevation and even differences on the north sides of canyons.” Hager, who has a Ph.D. in geology, defines Southern California as spanning the area from Santa Barbara south into Northern Baja.

venting and to dole out doses of practical advice … so rant away!

Make your blood boil

La Jolla Cultural Partners

n Rant: “I recently made a quiche with a dozen eggs, and as I cracked the 11th one into the bowl I noticed it was marred with a blood spot. Yikes! I had to throw out the contents and start fresh.” n Solution: A blood or a “meat” spot on the yolk is simply caused by a ruptured blood vessel during the egg’s formation. While candling techniques usually catch these flaws, some blood spots slip through the cracks, especially with brown eggs. Although these spots are aesthetically unpleasant, they are safe to eat, and can easily be removed with a half eggshell or tip of a knife. But if you have a kosher kitchen, bloodshot eggs must be discarded. For damage control, break each egg individually into a separate bowl, and when it passes the inspection test, add it to

the mixing bowl with the rest of the pristine eggs.

Shop hopping n Rant: “I’m frustrated that I can’t do a one-stop shopping trip. I have to make the rounds to three or even four supermarkets — one for quality meats and fish, another for fresh produce, a third for baked goods and a fourth for household items.” n Solution: These shopping patterns are costly and time consuming. Don’t make this a weekly habit, at most, a bimonthly one. Try substitutions (canned or frozen instead of fresh); if it will cut out one of the shopping trips, make organized lists and stick to them, and stockpile your staples. Another idea is to gather a group of your cronies and designate each one to a particular supermarket to do shopping duties for the rest.

Inflation aggravation n Rant: “Prices in the produce aisle of the supermarket are like the stock market, fluctuating daily — usually upward, especially for berries that are like edible gems.” n Solution: Just when you think you’re

n Method: Heat oil in a stock pot and sauté garlic, ginger, onion, carrots and seasonings until tender. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for 45 minutes. Remove chicken and shred into broth. Serve piping hot with egg noodles. beginning to make ends meet, they move the ends! To buy the most economical (as well as nutritional) fruits and vegetables choose local and seasonal. Berries hit their bounty, and are therefore cheapest in the late spring, melons and stone fruits in the summer, and apples, pears and gourds in the fall.

Dangerous doppelgangers n Rant: “I’m frequently confusing herbs and spices that look alike, ruining my recipes. In the past I’ve inadvertently sprinkled garlic powder instead of powdered ginger (and vice versa), cayenne pepper instead of paprika, and salt instead

of sugar in various dishes.” n Solution: The legendary Liberace embarrassingly told the story of his culinary faux pas when he mistook a green cylindrical tin of Comet for a can of dried Parmesan cheese as he was sprinkling it on top of a pan of homemade lasagna.

he Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) will present “Laughin: Art, Comedy, Performance,” Jan. 23-April 19, in La Jolla, featuring works by 19 artists exploring the recent turn toward comedic performance in (and as) contemporary art. MCASD associate curator Jill Dawsey organized the exhibition, including work by Cory Arcangel, Edgar Arceneaux, Jibz Cameron and Hedia Maron, Tammy Rae Carland, Audrey Chan and Elana Mann, Kasia Fudakowski, Eric Garduño and Matthew Rana, Jonn Herschend, Stanya Kahn, Tim Lee, Glenn Ligon, Carter Mull, Jayson Musson, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Scott Reeder and Michael Smith. In describing the concept, MCASD writes, “Stand-up offers a forum in which comics and artists alike may examine stereotypes and taboos, testing what can and can’t be said. The exhibition suggests that this format makes particular sense to artists at a moment when they — like citizens everywhere — are seeking new modes of public address (think of the widespread use of social

An illustrated brochure accompanies the exhibition, and includes an essay by curator Dawsey. The title “Laugh-in” (shared with the 1968-1973 comedy program “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”) conjures the cultural moment of the late 1960s and resonates with the “sit-ins” and “be-ins” of that time. The period not only saw the rise of stand-up comedy to mainstream prominence, but also its ties to political issues that echo in modern times. Highlights include Eric Garduño and Matthew Rana’s installation, “The People v. Bruce (Parrhesia)” (2011), which simulates a

Photos by Pablo Mason, Michael Field and Linda Hutchison build, but was first envisioned in the early 1990s, according to Ann Laddon, vice president of institutional advancement, who oversees fundraising. “It was actually even longer,” she said. “We had teachers asking for this 40 years ago.” The museum received a $7 million grant from California Department of State Parks as the result of Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water Bond, which voters approved in 2006. Laddon helped raise $2 million more. Many of the donors have early connections to the museum. Dennis Wilson, for example, took classes as a pre-teen in the museum and his wife, Carol, a teacher, brought students on field trips and serves as a docent and sits on the board.

“For me, this exhibit is totally engaging,” Laddon said. “I’m a San Diego native and remember my father telling stories about riding horses from Point Loma to Sunset Cliffs and diving for abalone. Until I came to work here, I didn’t appreciate what makes this area so extraordinary. The exhibit provides an opportunity for more people like me to see the richness we have in 90 miles, how fortunate we are and how careful we have to be.” Hager shares in the excitement. “It is a truly remarkable area and now we can see it all in one place,” he said. “Our hope is that visitors come here and learn, then go out and experience, then return, get more information and go back out.” u

another into the fire. Then I realized McGuire was so brilliant in terms of life lessons, I’d let him write it himself. I recalled the things he had taught me — his phrases, his unique way to see life — and that’s how I produced the memorial page.” Enberg knew there was more about McGuire he wanted to record, and eventually, he wrote a chapter about McGuire in his own book “Dick Enberg: Oh My!” “In remembering more stories he told me, I realized there was enough for a play. He really wrote the play because it’s all his stuff. I just reorganized it and that’s how the play developed.” Cotter Smith reprises his role as McGuire in the one-man show, directed by his wife, Heidi Mueller-Smith. Cotter Smith’s theater credits include Broadway’s “An American Daughter,” “Burn This,” and “How I Learned to Drive.” His

television and film credits include Robert Kennedy in the mini-series “Blood Feud” and “Brothers and Sisters,” and the feature film “X2: X-Men United.” “I appreciate Cotter taking time from his busy career to once again play McGuire,” Enberg said. Enberg’s handiness for writing a screenplay came from the way he looks at his broadcasting. “A broadcaster works with numbers — No. 42 made a tackle, No. 7 hit the home run, or No. 22 just made a basket — for the enjoyment of those listening, you need them to care about these players. So I look at a particular game, like football, in four acts, concentrate on the players and how they deal with it, and then in the end, develop whether it’s a crime, upset or whatever.” Enberg said he got good reviews when the play was previously performed at the North Coast Rep. “I was surprised that a lot of women, who were dragged to the performance by their sports fan husbands, came up after the show to tell me they enjoyed the play because it’s about more than a coach or basketball, it’s about a man who had this incredible philosophy of life and was able to get through a lot of the barbed wire we encounter to find the truth on the other side.” Enberg still reflects on all the lessons McGuire taught him. “He had so many expressions that were so true about life,” Enberg said. “One of them was about a right-hand turn in life. We tend to get on the same road and always follow that path. When McGuire was coaching in Milwaukee, instead of making the left turn that took him into the city, he took a right turn to go into the beautiful Wisconsin countryside for an unplanned day to let life

By Diana Saenger ichard Alan “Dick” Enberg is a distinguished American sportscaster for networks NBC, CBS and ESPN, and since 2009 has provided the play-by-play for telecasts of San Diego Padres baseball on Fox Sports San Diego. Enberg is one of only two American broadcasters selected for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Basketball Hall of Fame, and in July 2015, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Enberg has won many awards, including 14 Emmy Awards in three categories — broadcasting, writing and producing — and recently added “playwright” to his many talents. His one-man show, “McGuire,” will run two nights at the North Coast Repertory Theater, Feb. 9-10. Among the many personal relationships Enberg has experienced with professional athletes, he said he was particularly enamored by Alfred James “Al” McGuire, head coach of the Marquette University men’s basketball team, 1964-1977. McGuire won a national championship at Marquette, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992, and was a longtime national television basketball broadcaster, known for his colorful personality. “I got to know McGuire when he joined me and Billy Packer in a three-man broadcast team for NBC,” Enberg said. “The more I got to know McGuire, the more he became the most unforgettable character I’ve ever met. He was a New York Street genius and saw light from a different angle.” Enberg said he never considered himself a playwright, but when McGuire died in 2001, his family asked Enberg to write the notes for the memorial program. “It was a daunting task,” he said. “I was throwing one paper after

This is a wonderful lesson for all, get in the car and drive someplace you have never been.” Enberg followed McGuire’s advice several years ago when the family moved to La Jolla. “We decided to move closer to our kids’ school, Bishop’s. After thinking Mount Soledad or by the water, we picked a spot in the Village. I wanted to be able to walk, go to the market, post office or elsewhere. I embrace La Jolla and it does the same for me. “Now and then, I meet a fan who watched the game last night and comments on it.

The name “sea lion” is misleading. True. Sea lions are only distantly related to lions and other felines. Sea lions evolved from canines, splitting from the bear line after it split from other dogs. Still, all sea lions make a roaring sound and the males of some species (like the southern sea lion) have a lion-like mane. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 660 pounds and is about 8 feet long, while the female sea lion weighs 220 pounds and is 6 feet long.

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

It’s a hoot to hear those ‘Gunmetal Blues’

on-stop laughter filled the theater at the opening night performance of the San Diego premiere of the musical “Gunmetal Blues” at the North Coast Repertory Theatre. The story of a private eye (Kevin Bailey) working a murder case becomes complicated when he attempts to question several blondes — Princess, Laura, Jenny and Carol (all played by Sharon Rietkerk) — about their observations or involvements. The detective practically makes the seedy, smoky Red Eye Lounge his office, which is quite a comical setup as Buddy, the piano player, is constantly playing tunes with lyrics that correspond to what’s happening in the lounge. Each actor in this film noir-spun story effectively delivers the goods. Jeffrey Rockwell, who announces his character as Buddy Toupee, is a terrific piano player. He adds his own humorous commentary to each of the pertinent tell-all songs by Craig Bohmler and Marion Adler, who wrote the music and lyrics. The tune “Don’t Know What I Expected” sung throughout by Rietkerk, is a constant reminder that she’s sexy and evasive answering the detective’s

Other tunes like “Loose Change,” “Skeletons,” and “I’m the One That Got Away,” help spell out the personalities of the characters, along with playwright Scott Wentworth’s wonderful dialogue, which is ingeniously funny. Bailey has to do triple duty as the detective in sparring with Buddy, trying to solve the crimes and stay alert after a-few-

too-many drinks at the lounge. Rietkerk is amazing in her roles. Not only does she handle the quick costume changes required, but each time she reappears as a different character, her total demeanor also changes. Her trained, operatic voice is beautiful and fully serves her femme fatale manner. Andrew Barnicle’s direction is clearly evident in staging what could have been a rather chaotic play to pull off. Veteran

scenic designer Marty Burnett’s set is once again engaging. With so much going on — mystery, music, mayhem and comedy — “Gunmetal Blues” is a good bet for anyone. u n If you go: “Gunmetal Blues” runs matinees, evenings Jan. 17-Feb. 15 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Mozart Marathon to bring day of marvelous music to Athenaeum By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Many concert violinists are content to stick with a repertoire of a dozen pieces they play at public performances. Not Victoria Martino. This accomplished violinist, who divides her time between La Jolla, La Mesa, Los Angeles and New York City, estimates her repertoire at well over 350 pieces by more than 60 composers. Her favorite of them all is Mozart, and on Saturday, Jan. 24, she and Los Angeles-based pianist James Lent will offer their second Mozart Marathon at La Jolla’s Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, a celebration of Mozart’s 259th birthday and the duo’s 10th year of collaborative performance. It’s a day-long display of musicality and stamina that will feature the 32 violin and piano sonatas written by Mozart in the years between his precocious childhood and his untimely death. Their first Mozart Marathon was in 2006, in honor of the composer’s 250th birthday. That year, they played what they considered the complete violin and piano sonatas, but this year, as they began rehearsing, they made a whole new discovery. “James is on the music faculty at UCLA, so he went to the library

Martino & Lent & The Mozart Connection ■ “Mozart is the reason I became a musician,” Victoria Martino said. “I started, as he did, with the piano, and then, for my seventh or eighth birthday, my dad bought me a recording of the complete violin sonatas, and I just went berserk over them. I said I’ve got to learn to play the violin! And I started making his birthday a holiday; I’d take off from school, and spend the whole day playing records of his music.

Victoria Martino and James Lent will perform a marathon of Mozart sonatas to celebrate the composer’s 259th birthday. Lonnie Hewitt there and checked out a bunch of scores for us to work from,” Martino said. “When we opened the books and started playing, we found six sonatas that were totally unfamiliar to us. We did some research, and decided they were bona fide piano and violin sonatas, written when Mozart was about 8 years old. They’re very experimental, they really show what a wunderkind he was, and we felt we had to include them. So this time, we’ll be playing 32

sonatas instead of the 26 we played in 2006. You could call it a Mozart Mega-Marathon!” The day will begin with the “Baby Sonatas” and go all the way through to the mature works, giving the audience a chance to hear the entire trajectory of Mozart’s development as a composer. Martino and Lent take no breaks other than an occasional sip of water between sonatas. “We’re in a transcendent state, sustained by the music,” she said.

Unlike the performers, you’re not required to stay the whole course, which has no intermissions. Come and go as you like; take a lunch or coffee break. You’ll still have plenty of time to admire the breadth of Mozart’s genius and this daring duo’s heartfelt tribute to him. u

Marina Abramovic and Kim Stanley Robinson at the Jan. 15 opening of ‘3015 Work in Progress.’

Abramovic listens to her soundtrack.

Sheldon Brown, director of the Clarke Center for Human Imagination: ‘After a year-and-a-half of talks about creating a frame for this project, we had no idea of what would go inside. And it only came out of the lab five minutes ago.’

‘3015 Work in Progress’

Performance artist brings sound and silence to UCSD gallery By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt arina Abramovic may not be a name you’ve heard of, but she’s a superstar performance artist who has been pushing the boundaries of her art form for almost 50 years. She began her life and career in the former Yugoslavia, performing her radical, often dangerous, pieces while still living under the rule of strict Communist parents who insisted she be home every night before 10. In 2010, more than half-a-million viewers waited in long lines to see her in “The Artist Is Present” at New York’s MoMA, where she sat silently every day for three months, inviting audience members to come, one by one, and sit across from her, meeting her intense, unflinching gaze. Challenging the whole concept of performance, doing nothing but staring and enduring, she created a riveting experience. An HBO documentary, “Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present,” premiered at Sundance in 2012, and last year, Abramovic was listed as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most

Influential People. At home in Hudson, New York, she has launched her own institute, dedicated to cultivating long-durational works of art. Last week, she was at UC San Diego, with her latest project, “3015 Work in Progress,” which will be shown this spring at the Venice Biennale. Her collaborator on “3015” is Kim Stanley Robinson, a science-fiction writer affiliated with the on-campus Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, which sponsored Abramovic’s visit. To begin, she offered a free workshop to interested volunteers, who would then help create a soundtrack for the project, culminating in a gallery exhibition. Applicants had to have some background in yoga or meditation, and commit to the full six-hours-a-day, three-day program. The public was invited to observe portions of the workshop, but watching participants sit around a table counting grains of rice wasn’t really worth the view. The artist was not present; there was no

focal point. Two days later, the exhibition opened. A line formed outside the gallery; people would be admitted in groups of 30-40, allowed — in fact, required — to stay for a 20-minute sound show, and then asked to exit, giving the next group its turn. Inside the all-white gallery, there were pale beach chairs, stools, and a scattering of bright orange cushions; everyone was encouraged to get comfortable. Then the soundtrack began, a hypnotic mix of spacevoyage story, celestial factoids, thoughtful pronouncements and Tibetan chants. Enveloped by sound, we became more than casual listeners; whatever was going on, we were totally there. “We are all cyborgs ... Flying through an absent presence ... Around us, the stars ...” At the end of the first session, as the audience filed out, the artist appeared, with her collaborator. “It’s a work-in-progress,” she said softly, stopping to pose for a photo before finding herself a seat for the second show. She and Robinson had each done a

separate version of the soundtrack. “Are we conscious? Are you sure ... Anybody else out there? Everything had come together at the last minute, a blend of artistic vision, sci-fi text and high-tech sound. The charismatic Marina had kept herself virtually invisible, but the piece drew participants all into the heart of her process: being present. “Space is not empty ... Anybody else out there? ... Be kind, be resourceful, be beautiful ... Do something new.” Abramovic is somewhere in Brazil now, continuing the development of 3015. But the sound installation remains in the gallery until the end of January, so locals can still experience the work she left behind. u n If you go: “Marina Abramovic Exhibition: 3015 Work in Progress” through Jan. 30 at University Art Gallery, Mandeville Center at UC San Diego, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday; 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Friday. (858) 534-2107. visarts.ucsd.edu

Seven of the 24 participants in the Abramovic Method workshop, and some of their comments: ‘I loved it! I loved the sounds we made! I felt very grounded in her process. I felt there was nothing I couldn’t do.’ ‘It’s an experience where you have a gamut of emotions — moments of boredom, moments of exhilaration, moments of pain. Quite frankly, I was simply thrilled to be in the room with her.’ And, most succinct: ‘She’s, like, my f#%#* idol!’

Ballerina spins out duets with four male choreographers By Kris Eitland With the New York City Ballet, ballerina Wendy Whelan danced the masterworks of Jerome Robbins and George Balanchine, William Forsythe and Christopher Weldon and many others. After 30 remarkable years, she left the company to start a freelance modern adventure. In “Wendy Whelan — Restless Creature,” she partners with four contemporary choreographers: Kyle Abraham, Joshua Beamish, Brian Brooks and Alejandro Cerrudo. La Jolla Music Society will present the program of four duets 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30 at Balboa Theatre. “Kyle was on my list for years,” Whelan said. “I never thought I’d get to dance and work with him, but I wanted to so badly. He embodies what I wanted to find for myself. I’m lucky he said yes.” She saw Brooks perform in the same program as Abraham. “I really liked him and loved his work. He fit, and he said, yes. So I had two guys that I was really excited about.” Whelan had been taking class with Beamish, but didn’t know about his choreographic skills. “A City Ballet dancer said we should get in the studio and play with

Wendy Whelan (center) with Joshua Beamish, Kyle Abraham, Alejandro Cerrudo and Brian Brooks him,” Whelan said. “We met, and his choreography was astounding. I went for him, and then I met Alejandro. “ Born in Madrid, Spain, Cerrudo is resident choreographer with Hubbard Street Dance. “He’s long and lanky, the tallest of them all,” Whelan said, “and he has the strongest ballet background. We use the same terminology. The other guys don’t use ballet terms

much, maybe Josh a little bit. Brian and Kyle are so not from the ballet world.” Their collaboration premiered at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival in 2013. Since then, Whelan had to undergo hip surgery and shared her recovery through social media. “The hip is very good now,” she said. It’s at about 90 percent. I can forget about it most of the time. I’ve been lucky. “

In making “Restless Creature,” Whelan said the biggest challenge was building relationships with four very different men. “I’d never danced with the choreographer making the work,” Whelan said. “That was a new process. I was excited about learning from them, but I was literally putting myself in their hands. I was thinking, ‘Oh my God, that’s what I’m going to be

doing!’ And the guys’ response was, ‘oh no, I’m touching a ballerina!’ They weren’t used to that. There was a big intimidation factor for all of us. It was unexpected. I was really nervous. They were nervous. Some of the guys were more comfortable getting close and inter-twined, the others not so much … they might dance closer or with more distance, or more with the eyes. It’s different from ballet.” Whelan said she didn’t have a vision or checklist of what she wanted from her four collaborators. They just met in a studio. “I laid it out on the floor,” she said. “Two questioned me. ‘What do you want? Why did you choose me?’ and I told them, ‘I want to go into your world. I want you to challenge me. Don’t cater to me. I want to learn and bite off more than I can chew. I want to find more of myself by doing that. I want to swim in your ocean, because I think you are awesome.’ They really challenged me after that.” u n If you go: “Wendy WhelanRestless Creature” is on stage 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30 at the Balboa Theatre, 868 Fourth Ave. downtown San Diego.

Tom Salamon

WoW production director back with ‘The Grift’ By Diana Saenger Since the La Jolla Playhouse introduced its site-based theater series Without Walls (WoW) — the innovative shows taking place in unique San Diego venues rather than an indoor stage — continue to draw crowds. Tom Salamon, creator of the 2010 WoW production “Accomplice” — extended three times — is back in San Diego with a new show “The Grift.” The noir-inspired mystery will take place at the Lafayette Hotel, a San Diego landmark. Part drama, part game, attendees will find themselves involved with Ben, who has lived his entire life at the hotel. Salamon said the idea for “The Grift” came about after he acquired the hotel as an event partner. Intrigued by its ballroom, swimming pool and suites, Salamon’s ideas about con artists and the art of the con, would lend itself well to participatory fun there for audiences. “After ‘Accomplice,’ the Playhouse and I talked about doing something else,” Salamon said. “I came back and started a location scout of neighborhoods that would offer different experiences and we came across the Lafayette Hotel.” Diabolical Muse, Salamon’s production company, has created new concepts of work in forms of immersive, experiential entertainment including television, film, web, live public events and tailor-made private events. His productions have been performed in London, New York and Hollywood, and surpassed 125,000 attendees and $6 million in sales. “Most of my ideas for shows happen in tandem,” he said. “I find a location, wrap my idea about the theme around it and what that would feel like for an audience to come and take part in it, and then I figure out how to best use the space, how the characters would fit in it, and how to use the surroundings to have it feel organic to the story.” In “The Grift,” a traveling con man’s last wish is to enlist the audience’s help to execute one final, giant swindle. The cast of eight will be scattered throughout the hotel. Part of the show is scripted and part is improvised. “I wanted to equal what we did with the ‘Accomplice,’ and bring it to another level where it’s going to be even more participatory for the audience to actually learn some cons within this world and execute them,” Salamon said. “The group is all working toward the same goal and yet still having individual hands-on moments where everyone is involved in small ways and big ways.” u n IF YOU GO: “The Grift” runs matinees, evenings Jan. 27-Feb. 22 at the Lafayette Hotel, 2223 El Cajon Blvd. Tickets $35-$45 at (858) 550-1010. lajollaplayhouse.org

Talented Trio

Garbacz siblings love performing and hope to do more By Ashley Mackin hose who see the touring production of “Les Misérables,” when it stops by the Center for the Arts Escondido, Feb. 7-8, will witness a pint-sized powerhouse in La Jolla resident Matthew Garbacz, playing the young Gavroche. Matthew, a fourth-grader at La Jolla Elementary School, will participate in the tour (sharing performance dates with another young actor) all the way through to summer in San Francisco with the Lake Elsinore-based Theatre Royale. The production will be Matthew’s first with a professional company, but he has done other youth productions in the past — such as theater camps at the La Jolla Playhouse and shows with Young Artists Studio, San Diego Junior Theatre and North Coast Repertory Theatre. Although Matthew jokes that when it comes to acting he “just wanted to give it a try” — there would be little inspiration without his older brother, Luke, also a young actor. “Matthew was dragged to all of Luke’s shows and rehearsals at North Coast Rep, and I think he just got tired of sitting in the audience,” said his mother Lauren Krause Garbacz, to which he nods enthusiastically. At one time, Luke even played the part that Matthew now holds, which is where Matthew learned all of Gavroche’s songs, cockney accent, and the ability to stomp around the stage and command attention. During a youth production of “Les Mis” in April 2014, Luke played Gavroche and Matthew was in the chorus. When the opportunity for a touring professional production came up, it was Luke who originally auditioned, but at age 11, he was deemed too tall for the role. When Krause Garbacz told the director Luke had a little brother already familiar with the songs, the director asked to see a video of Matthew singing. Matthew was called back for an audition. “He went through four callbacks and on the way home the fourth time, we

Luke, Juliet and Matthew Garbacz in their La Jolla home Ashley Mackin

got a call from the assistant director saying the director wanted to speak to him,” she said. “We knew he got the part.” Now ingrained in the role, Matthew said his favorite part

is singing and dancing, and (spoiler alert) dying. “I get shot three times. It’s the most active scene I get to do,” he said. He also likes spending time with the older actors. “They are really fun and we play football when we have breaks. I like hanging out with them,” he said. His least favorite part is the drive to Murrietta and Lake Elsinore twice a week for rehearsals. “It’s the worst,” he said. But, if he wants to continue in the theater business, he’ll have to get used to travel. With grandparents living outside of New York City, Matthew said he’s seen many Broadway plays, his favorites being “Newsies,” “Matilda,” and “The Lion King,” and he plans to see more. In the meantime, he will continue his studies at La Jolla Music and play in the school band. As for Luke? With expertise in dance, he, too, is on his way to more musical theater. Luke got the understudy part of Billy Elliot in the McCoy and Cathy Rigby Entertainments touring show of “Billy Elliot,” but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. At the time of the La Jolla Light interview with Matthew, Luke was on a callback for a show at a local theater company. Getting parts left and right, Luke had already been cast in something else, but wanted to have his choice of shows. And he’s not the only dancer in the family. Sister, Juliet, age 8, has participated in City Ballet of San Diego’s “The Nutcracker” in 2013 and 2014. She has also expressed an interest in music, particularly playing piano. Encouraging all her children to participate in theater, Krause Garbacz said, “I think kids that act and get involved in theater become good public speakers and gain confidence, and acquire memorization skills and teambuilding skills. It’s just good for them in school and in life. Whether they want to be professional actors or just do it for fun, performing gives them a sense of self-awareness. Also, with it being such a big commitment, it teaches them discipline, how to take direction and work with others.” u

News Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rear-parking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies.

Of Americans who responded to the survey, nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking. But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-and-true technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and anti-lock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents. While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions. And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability control, a feature

that helps drivers gain control over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today. Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the lesscommonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety. Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are significantly reduced. Lane departure warning systems Driving while tired is unfortunately all too

common, but technology like lane departure warning systems can help drivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury. Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed. But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly. Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

LA JOLLA HOMES Susana Corrigan and Patty Cohen make top three for SDAR’s Award of Excellence

usana Corrigan and Patty Cohen of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties’ La Jolla office share many things. They are sisters, business partners and, by an interesting turn of events, currently on the list of finalists for the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors’ (SDAR) Award of Excellence, which acknowledges outstanding service to the association, its members, the community, and the real estate industry. The award is reflective of the ethics, integrity and professional standards of the individuals. With more than 12,000 members, SDAR is the largest trade association in the county. Nominated anonymously by their peers, Corrigan and Cohen are now among the top three finalists. They were nominated separately even though they work as a team, a double honor. When individually interviewed by a panel, Cohen suggested, tongue-incheek, that perhaps the sisters could share the award, if in the top two. During Cohen’s interview, while unaware of her sister’s comments, she asked that Patty be given the honor.
