By Pat Sherman Catania coastal Italian restaurant, the first tenant to announce inclusion in the La Plaza La Jolla boutique shopping center at Wall Street and Girard Avenue, is scheduled to hold its grand opening Monday, March 16.

Lunch Lessons — Students at Stella Maris Academy sampled food from around the globe at their annual International Lunch party Jan. 22 in the cafeteria. Parents brought dishes representing their cultural heritages and kids loaded their plates with fantastic flavors. Their favorite? We suspect it was Italy’s carbonara from the evidence on page A15.

By Pat Sherman Sea lion pups at La Jolla Cove and elsewhere along the Southern California coastline are showing the same signs of severe malnourishment and dehydration seen in early 2013 — albeit in far greater numbers. Justin Viezbicke, a stranding network coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), said since Jan. 1, NOAA and its partners have rescued about 250 sea lions (mostly pups, though some young adults) — nearly double the amount rescued during the same period in 2013.

Meet Parish Rye: Park ranger assigned to La Jolla shorelines By Ashley Mackin To introduce himself and his patrol jurisdiction, Parish Rye, the new ranger assigned to La Jolla’s shoreline parks, attended the La Jolla Parks & Beaches meeting at the Rec Center Jan. 26. He told the group he spent 10 years patrolling Balboa Park, but his new coverage area begins at Tourmaline Park (on the border between La Jolla and Pacific Beach) and continues up to Torrey Pines Gliderport, covering everything in between — including Children’s Pool, the Cove, Scripps Park, Kellogg Park and smaller pocket parks. He’s
been on this assignment for about seven weeks. “My intent is to help the community and be a liaison between lifeguards and the police department,” he said. “It’s my understanding there are solicitor issues in Scripps Park and Kellogg Park and also parking issues in those locations. I stop by each one to establish a presence, because presence is very important. I’ve already seen changes in places where I show up.” One notable example, people are no longer parking in red zones, he said.

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL
Worst street in La Jolla?
I
T
Patch job falls apart
he quick repair the city made for the construction area off La Jolla Parkway at Ardath Road and Hidden Valley has become an eyesore again. Instead of replacing fence covering with a whole new piece, last time they simply patched it. Now it is ripping apart again and ALL the junk in the construction yard shows through. Another thing to note is the sidewalk is overgrown by the bushes and this is a real safety problem! That is a blind corner and it is difficult to push a stroller through there forcing the use of the street as a walkway. Cars come flying around there accelerating to get onto the parkway and it is only a matter of time until there is an accident. Thank you so much for bringing this to everyone’s attention and making the paper so community-oriented and informative. — Arlene Powers and Kyle Swafford
read in the Jan. 22 La Jolla Light that Sheila Fortune said the worst street in the Village was Roslyn Lane. I strongly disagree. I walk all over the Village, including alleys and, yes, many are bad, but none as bad as our block! I live on the worst street in the Village: Exchange Place between Prospect Street and Park Row. The asphalt trench on the east side of this cement street (pictured) runs from Park Row to Prospect and is filled with crumbling asphalt and weeds and quite a problem for people parking or walking on the street. I have reported it to the city several times, have talked to various crews working on other issues on the street, but they all tell me “it’s not ours” and that’s the end of it. The street also has large dips and cracks, and has recently had some asphalt piled on one of them ... it won’t last long as cars come barreling down our street from Torrey Pines Road.

Also a big mess is the large triangular area where Silverado Street and Exchange Place merge and end at Cave and Prospect Streets. I imagine that more visitors to La Jolla either drive on or park on this street than go down Roslyn Lane. It’s easier to see
without cars parked on it, but in this neighborhood many employees of the restaurants/stores on Prospect and elsewhere park because it’s free so, it is rarely empty ... except perhaps early on Sunday and rainy days. u — Debra Palmer

Water shut offs rile Shores residents in construction zone
City to pass on sea lion trainer
Residents of La Jolla Shores affected by the utility work along Avenida de la Playa and Camino Del Sol were disheartened by the lack of notice when their water was shut off last week. Regarding unexpected shut offs at an apartment complex, resident Eric Gallimore said, “I’m signed up for the (notification) e-mails, and received no notice from anyone. We recently got a door-hanger letting us know about night work (occurring Feb. 4), but we have heard absolutely nothing about the current fiasco. We have no idea when or if it will finish, and despite voicemails to every contact number we had at the city, we’ve still heard nothing.” La Jolla Shores Association board Tim Lucas explained via e-mail that the water shut off was unplanned and no notice could be given. “There was at least one water line that the water utilities department did not mark or identify, which led to it being accidentally cut during the excavation. The water company can be a bit slow with the repairs,” Lucas said. “Typically before any digging, the various utility companies are called out to mark the sewer lines, water lines, electric, cable, etc. Sometimes on older streets their information is not always accurate. “There is still water line work to be done on Camino del Sol that couldn’t be done the same time as the sewer. With extensive sewer line work to start this week on Camino del Oro, in front of the Shores Hotel, they cannot close off
The City of San Diego has decided not to hire the marine mammal behaviorist it was considering to coax sea lions from the bluff above La Jolla Cove. The attorney for a group called Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement had asked the city to hire Precision Behavior to train the sea lions to do their business elsewhere. Bill Harris, a representative for the City of San Diego Transportation & Storm Water department, said the city “is going to hire, not a behaviorist, but a marine scientist” to control the cove odor, and will also continue microbial foam sprayings that eat away pungent bird waste. Harris said the city would release more details as soon as the contract with the marine scientist is signed. “It’s essentially an expansion of our efforts to make sure we’re leaving no stone unturned,” he said.
Time of essence to relocate Silver Street postal annex The United States Postal Service (USPS) is still searching for a site in which to relocate services from its 720 Silver St. annex (off Draper Avenue), which some 40 delivery persons use to sort La Jolla’s mail. The 10,143-square-foot facility, which USPS has leased since 1975, sold last summer for $6.8 million. It was purchased by real estate developer Michael Pierson, business partner Bill Berwin and a team of silent equity partners.

ccording to a recent study published by inewsource. org examining vaccination rates in San Diego County kindergarten classes, approximately 7.6 percent of county kindergarteners are not up to date on their vaccinations. Of La Jolla’s kindergarten programs, only La Jolla Elementary School and Torrey Pines Elementary School are above the county average — at 94 percent each (of students up to date on their vaccinations). n At The Gillispie School, 26 percent of kindergarteners — eight out of 31 enrolled — are not up to date on their vaccinations n At Bird Rock Elementary, 19 percent of kindergarteners — 16 out of 85 enrolled— are not up to date on their vaccinations n At Stella Maris Academy, 20 percent of kindergarteners — three out of 15 enrolled — are not up to date on their vaccinations n At the San Diego French-American School, 59 percent of kindergarteners — 16 out of 27 enrolled — are not up to date on their vaccinations n At the Children’s School, 8 percent of kindergarteners — one out of 12 enrolled — are not up to date on their vaccinations n At All Hallows Academy, 10 percent of kindergarteners — four out of 39 enrolled— are not up to date on their vaccinations n At La Jolla Country Day School, 11 percent of kindergarteners — six out of 53 enrolled— are not up to date on their vaccinations Data was not available for the Evan’s School vaccination rates.

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS (Continued) The new owners intend to demolish the annex and an adjacent building leased by the Animal Hospital of La Jolla and construct townhomes. La Jolla-based Gallery Properties will be the listing agent for sale of the townhomes. Gallery Properties founder and broker Claudette Berwin (wife of project investor Bill Berwin) said the townhomes will feature “timeless and classic architecture suitable to the quiet residential neighborhood of Silver Street and Draper Avenue,” which includes Claudette nearby Riford Library, La Jolla Rec Center and a seven-screen cinema complex under Berwin construction on Fay Avenue. More details will be announced following approval of the listing by the California Bureau of Real Estate. Completion of the townhomes is projected for late summer 2016. Information at (858) 361-7448. Meanwhile, although the USPS has been searching for an alternate annex site within the Village of La Jolla (its lease expires July 2015), USPS spokesperson Eva Jackson said it has not yet secured a new facility. “We have looked extensively in La Jolla and have not found any suitable locations, mainly because of all the parking we use,” Jackson told La Jolla Light, via e-mail. “We expanded the search area to include University City, Sorrento Valley and Pacific Beach.” Jackson said remaining at Silver Street beyond June 30 is “not something we want to consider. Staying in situations like this is bad for the new owner and can lead to a financial penalty for the Postal Service,” she said. Stamps and other services can still be purchased at La Jolla’s historic post office at 1140 Wall St., which USPS announced three years ago that it intends to sell (though following public outcry the USPS has halted sale of its historic post offices).

Mitt Romney might run for president a third time, Romney announced last week he will not seek the oval office in 2016. Meanwhile, his attorney, Matt Peterson, confirmed that Romney is working with a broker and that potential buyers have been out to view his new home, under construction at 311 Dunemere Drive. Peterson said the 11,062 square-foot home should be finished by the end of the year. It replaces the 3,009 squarefoot home he purchased there in 2008.

Moncey said he planned to have a new tree planted by now, but ran into problems transporting and planting a Canary pine located at the city nursery. Instead, the city is ordering a 12- to 15-foot Italian stone pine from Village Nurseries or another vendor. City workers removed the stump of the felled tree, although they must return with a stone grinder to remove thick roots remaining in the ground. u

Architects update Cove Pavilion restroom project n Plans preserve ‘sacred’ space in Scripps Park
La Jolla
Parks and Beaches
Taal Safdie of Safdie Rabines, the architectural firm tasked with producing schematic designs for the proposed La Jolla Cove Pavilion replacement project Ashley Mackin planners determined more were needed. The proposed facility would be 1,700 square feet larger than the current one, according to the updated plans. Construction costs will be estimated when more formal designs are produced. LJP&B and La Jolla Shores Association member Mary Coakley-Munk, who spearheaded the North Comfort Station restroom replacement project in Kellogg Park, said she had concerns with the proposed configuration of the Scripps Park facility. “Putting sinks in the handicapped
restrooms make them appealing to homeless people because they can wash their clothes ... and it’s a great place for drug users,” she said, suggesting the sinks be kept outside. She added that considering participants in the Challenged Athletes triathlon use the Cove as part of their one-mile swim, the facility does not provide for opposite-sex assistance. “A mother and son, father and daughter, caregiver with opposite sex client or Challenged Athletes who need assistance, would not be able to use the showers you

By Ashley Mackin Responding to concerns raised by SCUBA divers at a December meeting of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) board, Taal Safdie of Safdie Rabines — the architectural firm tasked with producing schematic designs for the rebuild of the dilapidated restrooms at La Jolla Cove — presented modified plans at the Jan. 26 LJP&B meeting. After the presentation, LJP&B voted to support the conceptual plans with the condition that architects be flexible to changes, especially regarding ADA-access. The configuration presented in December, Safdie said, “was closer to the street, a little more linear and allowed for more of a view corridor from Scripps Park,” providing the natural feel the architects hoped for. However, the orientation and suggested tree plantings
would have taken up a grassy area considered “sacred” and “a treasure” by SCUBA divers as a staging and gathering point. Hoping to strike an acceptable compromise, Safdie unveiled new designs that preserve the gathering space, but also provide what the architects consider to be an aesthetically pleasing and functional restroom facility. The new facility is wider, closer to the “corner” of Coast Boulevard and the walking path leading to the Bridge Club, and oriented differently from the original design. Safdie said the new facility includes the following amenities: closed men’s and women’s facilities (each with an ADAcompliant shower); one sink, three toilets and one ADA-toilet in the women’s; one sink, three urinals and one ADA-toilet in the men’s; a separate outside area with eight unisex toilet stalls; two family bathrooms with an ADA-toilet and a sink; three sinks; outdoor showers; hooks and benches for beach equipment; two storage areas; drinking fountains and the garbage corral. There is still a walking path that divides the unisex stalls from single-sex facilities to provide a view corridor to the ocean from the park, and it also offers police officers a way to see through the facility from their cars while on patrol. Safdie previously said there are no requirements for how many toilets need to be in a given area, but based on current use,

Selling your Home with Leased Solar Equipment? Leased solar power systems are gaining prominence as a low-cost method for going solar. these systems however can create issues when it comes time to sell your home. the solar provider will secure their interest in the equipment by recording a lease against your property. this lease will place restrictions on your ability to sell your property. according to most leases currently used, you have 3 options: (1) Purchase the system in full at the close of escrow. (2) make a prepayment of all lease payments due under the lease. (3) assign the lease to the new purchaser. if one of these options is not taken, the solar company can file a lien against the property and the title company will not issue clear title until the lease issue is resolved. Purchasing the equipment can be very costly and is usually not an option for most buyers and sellers. it is suggested by most, that the seller make their acceptance of the buyer’s offer to purchase their home, contingent on the buyer applying to the solar provider for assumption of the existing lease and that the solar provider accepts the buyer as the new lessee. that way, if the solar company refuses to accept the new buyer’s assumption of the lease, the seller can cancel the transaction without the obligation to purchase the equipment.

After other design changes were presented from the floor, LJP&B chair Dan Allen reminded those in attendance that the plans were schematic designs, and additional changes could be suggested as designs become more concrete. According to the American Institute of Architects Best Practices manual, schematic designs are the first phase of a project, during which “an architect commonly develops study drawings, documents, or other media that illustrate the concepts of the design and include spatial relationships, scale, and form for review. Schematic design also is the research phase of the project, when zoning requirements or jurisdictional restrictions are discovered and addressed.” To ensure that what is outlined in the schematic designs is actually what gets built once the plans are handed over to the city for construction (the city agreed to fund construction with $250,000 in Regional Park Improvement Funds), the architects suggested LJP&B privately fund the creation of “bridging documents,” as well. Creating bridging documents, Allen said, allows for the Safdie Rabines’ design to be the basis on which the building permit applications are filed. Safdie added, “The advantage is that you would get the final say on the design and then the contract or architect team that does the design-build, has to build it that way and can’t just change it without the
LA JOLLA LIGHT - February 5, 2015 - Page A7
community wanting it to change. If you take the sketches we have now to the city, they will hire someone to do bridging documents and through that, anything could happen.” Further, she said, should Safdie Rabines produce the bridging documents, the timeline to construction would be shortened by about a year. La Jolla resident Judy Adams Halter, head of the committee organizing the project, said she planned to speak with the city in early February to discuss LJP&B using available funds to hire Safdie Rabines to produce the documents.

From Sea Lions, A1 Although Viezbicke said NOAA researchers have not yet determined the cause of the mass starvation, he said the unseasonably warm waters from an expected El Nino event could be affecting their food supply. Sea lions eat squid, anchovies and other oily fish, which contribute to the pungent odor of their waste. With a population of more than 300,000, Viezbicke said California sea lions could be reaching carrying capacity — the point at which there is not enough food in the coastal waters to sustain their growing population. Jody Westberg, a stranded animal coordinator with SeaWorld San Diego, said since Jan. 1 she and her team have rescued 87 sea lions from the San Diego County coastline, including more than 20 from La Jolla. “Historically, we would rescue the largest number in May,” Westberg said, though noting that during the 2013 starvation, they saw the largest influx of stranded sea lions in March, when they rescued more than 200 animals. Born six to eight months ago in the Channel Islands, the sea lion pups should now weigh 55-60 pounds, Westberg said, adding SeaWorld is rescuing them at 22-30 pounds, just a few pounds over their birth weight. “It is heart-wrenching when you see these pups and how emaciated they are,” Westberg said. “You can see the animals’ ribs. Their skin is really loose; it looks like a baggy pair of pajamas.” Although the situation appears to be as bad or worse than in 2013, NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service has not yet declared the situation an Unusual Mortality Event, as

Numerous sea lions at La Jolla Cove were looking lethargic and underweight last week, with a few laying close to the gate where people access the bluffs. Pat Sherman it did then. Westberg said people who spot malnourished sea lions should not approach them, but phone a lifeguard or the authorities, or contact SeaWorld’s rescue hotline at (800) 541-7325 (SEAL). SeaWorld will pick up the starving pups and bring them back to their medical facility to recuperate, before returning them to the wild. SeaWorld’s animal care specialists and veterinarians are treating the animals with hydration, nutrition and, when necessary,

antibiotics. Animals are first stabilized and then provided nourishment and veterinary care until they are strong, of healthy weight and able to forage for themselves. Although a city spokesperson told the Light it has no plans at this time to lock the gate allowing human access to the bluffs, SeaWorld spokesperson David Koontz cautioned: “These are wild animals. Sea lions don’t understand that people are trying to help, so they will defend themselves. Even a malnourished,
dehydrated pup can be very dangerous (and carry bacteria and disease). We want to maintain the safety of our citizens and tourists, as well as the safety of the animals.” Westerberg added, “We don’t want them to be scared back into the water, because then we can’t give them the help they need.” NOAA Fisheries spokesperson Jim Milbury said researchers are assessing the situation in the Channel Islands, where sea lions give birth, and will return soon to report their findings. u

Pathfinder Partners Announces Initial Closing of New Opportunity Fund
ANNOUNCING THE INITIAL $30,000,000 CLOSING
Pathfinder Fund V Acquiring Multifamily, Residential Properties
MULTIFAMILY AND RESIDENTIAL VALUE CREATION FUND
Pathfinder Partners, LLC, a San Diego-based fund manager that makes opportunistic real estate investments, has announced the initial closing of Pathfinder Partners Opportunity Fund V – a private real estate fund focused on acquiring multifamily and other residential real estate. Investors committed approximately $30 million to the initial closing. With a target fundraise of $100 to $150 million, the fund will remain open to new investors through December 2015. “We’re thrilled to be introducing our new fund, and look forward to building on the initial investments with additional capital raises this year,” said Mitch Siegler, senior managing director/co-founder of Pathfinder. “We have a robust pipeline of new investment opportunities and are optimistic that we will be able to deploy the capital quickly.” According to Siegler, Fund V will adhere to Pathfinder’s investment model – primarily acquiring value-add, opportunistic and financially distressed real estate in mid-tier cities throughout the west – among them San Diego, Denver, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland. “While the commercial banks and CMBS special servicers have sold or otherwise resolved many problem loans in their portfolios, we expect to continue to find investment opportunities from them as well as fatigued owners who have struggled since the Great Recession to stabilize their properties or invest the necessary capital to optimize property performance,” Siegler said. Fund V builds on Pathfinder’s strong platform and solid track record. Since its inception, the firm has acquired over $500 million of real estate assets in more than 75 transactions. Pathfinder Partners was founded by long-time La Jollan Lorne Polger and Siegler in 2006 to make opportunistic investments in distressed real estate assets and defaulted loans and value-add properties.

‘BOOKSHELF’ La Jolla parent launches fund to provide books to middle school By Jori Mendel uirlands Middle School teachers and students are welcoming an influx of hundreds of books thanks to “Bookshelf,” a project launched by La Jolla parent Tracy Trudeau. Trudeau is donating $10,000 to the Muirlands Foundation over the next four years to provide classrooms with books from every genre. In support of the project, 20 percent of all purchases (gift cards and sale items excluded) made Saturday, Feb. 7 at Warwick’s, 7812 Girard Ave., will be donated to the Bookshelf fund. Customers should mention they would like to participate in the “Muirlands Bookshelf Event.” Muirlands Principal Harlan Klein explained the genesis of the project: “Mr. Trudeau approached the Muirlands Foundation and asked how he might help the school. One of the first things we had on our wish list was books. Our teachers continuously expressed desire to expand the selection of reading materials in their classrooms. “Mr. Trudeau was immediately drawn to the idea and excited about the impact that hundreds of new books would have for our students.” Throughout the year, and with input from

students, teachers will submit lists of books they’d like to offer in their classroom libraries. School library tech Deb David will review the lists and have the luxury of granting most, if not all, requests through funds available by Bookshelf. Over the next four years, Bookshelf will further enhance the choices students have when selecting literature for independent reading, class assignments and book clubs. “I am incredibly honored to support Muirlands Foundation and its efforts to invest in quality teaching and learning tools,” Trudeau said. “Reading was an important part of my childhood and I hope I’ve passed this passion on to my own children. I now have the opportunity to share this passion with our local middle school students.” Trudeau is a direct mortgage lender at Rancho Financial. He and his wife, Celeste, live in Bird Rock with their three children. More at muirlandsfoundation.org u

Youth baseball returns to Cliffridge fields for 2015 season By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball
T
here is something special about the smell of freshly cut grass at the beginning of baseball season in La Jolla. Since 1952, hundreds of families have enjoyed the experience and the move to Cliffridge Park in 1964 makes these fields home for generations of ballplayers. Putting all the pieces in place for La Jolla Youth Baseball’s (LJYB) Opening Day Feb. 28 requires the support and leadership of dozens of people — and none of it could happen without hundreds of parents who love baseball almost as much as their kids. Conservatively, LJYB parents make 4,000 trips to the fields and that doesn’t count the second car that arrives for another parent to watch a game or attend that extra Sunday practice that coach tacked on to the schedule. LJYB thanks not only the parents for choosing baseball as their primary spring sport, but the schools that helped by posting registration flyers and sending out announcements in their e-newsletters to bring together this community of nearly 400 young athletes.
Here’s what took place in January:
n Jan. 13: The board of directors met to finalize and approve well-vetted slates of managers for Shetland (9), Pinto (10), Mustang (8), Bronco (5) and Pony (3). Every manager must complete a background check and attend at least one Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) workshop, which includes certification. n Jan. 17: Annual Clean-Up Day attended by board members, coaches and LJYB alumni working on community service hours. The group painted, cleared, hauled trash away and hung new nets in batting cages to give a fresh start to the season. n Jan. 18: Pre-Season Clinic hosted by UCSD Tritons Baseball Team was a tremendous success. The Div II Tritons’ head coach Eric Newman pulled together four of his coaches and about 20 players for three sessions designed specifically for Pinto, Mustang, and Bronco/Pony division players. More than 100 LJYB players attended the clinics, making this, by far, the most successful player development event that anyone can remember. They also hosted a two-hour Coaches Clinic that proved invaluable for those able to attend. LJYB sends big thanks to Coach Newman and the Tritons’ baseball organization for this opportunity to visit their newly upgraded ballpark. n Jan. 20: For the fourth year, LJYB hosted a PCA Workshop for coaches and volunteers.

leading PCA instructor Jim Perry returned to the Parker Auditorium at La Jolla High to share his wit and wisdom about how to coach kids — and sometimes things not to do. Dozens of parent volunteers attended and each came away with several new ideas about how best to handle situations in what is an open classroom that includes baseball. Participants receive PCA certification for the “Double Goal Coach: Coaching for Winning & Life Lessons” workshop. For the first time, LJYB will be offering a second workshop in late February that is open to all LJYB parents and coaches who were unable to attend the Jan. 20 event.
hours of discussion and selection of players. The secret to success for LJYB is balance and parity among teams.
n Jan. 24: Assessments took place for Pinto, Mustang, and Bronco Divisions. This allows every manager in each division an opportunity to meet and observe all of the players in the aspects of fielding, throwing, catching, running, hitting and pitching (Mustang and Bronco). It is a thorough and objective way to prepare for the formation of teams (draft) the following week. Each league president and a board member (observer) presided over a draft for each league that requires a great deal of preparation and a few
n Feb. 2: Practices started for most divisions. Shetland registration remains open all season (ages 4-6) and kids are encouraged to talk it up in their preschool and kindergarten classrooms.
n Jan. 31: Pony division assessment and draft. Many players have been together for 9-10 years and the three managers collectively have more than 40 years of LJYB coaching experience. With the removal of regional boundaries in Pony baseball, new faces joined the Pony ranks this season and helped grow the division with a third team.
For February:

St. James’ White Elephant Sale is this weekend From St. James Reports
St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla is gearing up for its 83rd annual White Elephant Sale, Feb. 6-8, between two adjacent buildings — the Cuvier Club at 7776 Eads Ave. and the church’s Van Schaick Room at 743 Prospect St. The sale will feature thousands of items including clothing, accessories, shoes, jewelry, linens, housewares, antiques, artwork, furniture, books, holiday decorations, toys and plants. Many items are new or nearly new. Proceeds will benefit dozens of local, national and international non-profit organizations. Last year’s sale raised almost $45,000 that was distributed to 24 organizations, including Holy Innocents Children’s Hospital in Uganda, Dorcas House in Tijuana and St. Paul’s Senior Home in San Diego. “Not everyone is able to go in person to help homeless children in Mexico, the homebound elderly or those affected by disasters,” said Nan Thomas, who, along with Sherry Seymour, is co-chairing the event. “But by shopping the White Elephant Sale you are making a contribution to the disadvantaged. We price our items to sell so we can raise funds for many worthwhile

organizations.” The sale kicks off with First Choice Night, 5:30-7:30 on Friday, Feb. 6. Complimentary wine, cheese and gourmet nibbles will be served to shoppers. Admission is $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and a 20-percent surcharge will be added to items that night only. “We charge a bit more for the first pick of the treasures, but it’s worth it,” Thomas said. “Instead of fighting the crowds, you can rummage with ease and enjoy lovely refreshments.”
On Saturday, Feb. 7, the sale will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and admission will be free, with no surcharges. The church’s Holy Smoke Grill will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings. Sunday, Feb. 8, will feature the Half-Price Afternoon from noon to 3 pm, with free admission and everything selling at a 50-percent discount. The last hour will feature the popular $5 bag sale in which customers purchase grocery bags for $5 each. “Whatever fits in the bag is yours, with
the exception of furniture, jewelry and antiques,” Thomas said. “It’s a great way to scoop up lots of bargains, and there is no limit on the number of bags you may purchase.” u n St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, 743 Prospect St., La Jolla.

Modern Home Systems can help you create a ‘Smart Home’ By Marti Gacioch Getting smart at home can mean far more than just controlling energy and water use. With the smart home technologies offered by Modern Home Systems, homeowners can control multiple tasks and functions for their homes with the touch of a button. “We take pride in offering the latest in smart home technology that can help you control heating, air conditioning, lighting, doors, irrigation systems, home security, audio-video and more,” said spokesperson Danielle Ryan. “The possibilities are endless.” Evolving smart technologies continue to introduce new features and creating instant ambiance for your home theater — or your home — is one of them. “If you’d like to create a movie night scene, you hit a button and your lights will dim, the sound will go up on the TV, and the Blu-ray player is activated,” Ryan said. “Instead of having to hit multiple buttons to create that scene, smart home technology does it all for you.” Creating a date night scene is equally easy. At the tough of a button, lights will dim, music will play softer, and a Pandora Internet Radio station will come on. Out of town but hoping to create the perception someone is still at home? Smart technology can set up lights to go on and off at different times of the day. Modern Home Systems has developed new relationships with builders and contractors to install smart technology products. “We’re
doing a lot more custom homes from the ground up,” Ryan said. “We work directly with the builders and go through all the different phases of the entire construction.” One such partnership is with the M Theory Record Store in Del Mar. “We’ve started selling turntables out of our Rancho Santa Fe location, and we’re planning to do a record-release party with the M Theory Record Store in March,” Ryan said. “Vinyl is coming back in popularity, and we want to offer receivers, amplifiers, and speakers so listeners will receive a full vinyl listening experience. Smart home technology is getting more affordable to the average homeowner and we think in the next few years, it will take over the market.” Modern Home Systems opened as La Jolla Home Theater in 2007. A second location was opened in 2012, and Modern Home Systems was acquired in 2013. u n The Modern Home Systems headquarters at 7007 Carroll Road in the Miramar area of San Diego features a full showroom of TVs and audio systems, as well as a golf simulator.

e’ve all heard the question “but what is really financial planning?” First, focus on the term “planning.” I like to analogize financial planning much like having a medical check-up — one of those really thorough physical check-ups. After which, our doctor receives the report from all those tests we were given and then we receive the news. Maybe some pointers to lose weight, get that cholesterol under control and to exercise more. Now, have you ever had a thorough financial check-up? A comprehensive fiscal exam will involve helping you create a personal investment and retirement portfolio to match your goals and objectives, and provide strategies to reduce your income taxes. By the way, how much did you pay in income taxes last year? Check your federal tax return 1040 and see line 61, then CA form 540, line 64. Both show what you paid. Now, total and divide by 12 to show you just how much you paid — on average — each month last year. Proper tax “planning” may help reduce those extra taxes paid. When was the last time you reviewed your wills and trust? Have your plans changed? We will review your estate plan along with a review of all the insurance you currently own vs. what you actually need — that is included in a comprehensive plan. Our services include an initial “get acquainted” meeting to determine if we can be of assistance and explain our planning process. A fee is based on your needs. Our plan includes a written report, unlimited visits and phone calls to create, revise and implement your customized financial plan. Our annual reviews are planned each year after April 15. While the New Year is fresh, maybe having that fiscal check-up can be added to your New Year’s resolutions. Get started by ordering our booklet, Are You Financially Organized?, and complete the Initial Planning Guide at www.MoneyTalkRadio.com or at (858) 597-1980 in preparation for your complimentary interview. Becoming financially organized is just good common sense. Do you feel financially organized? Let us help.

minutes later. Players’ balance was also tested by asking them to perform simple tasks, such as standing on one leg with hands on hips and eyes closed for 20 seconds. Hayden said balance is typically a precise indicator of mild brain dysfunction and/or concussion. “If they have a true concussion, almost invariably their balance is off,” he said. “When we do repeat testing on them (weeks later) … their balance would come back.” During the duration of the three-year study, Hayden said there were six to eight confirmed concussions observed, which he said is “extremely low” and not enough to draw any solid conclusions. Yet, Hayden said the process of involving the boys in the study seemed to greatly raise the players’ awareness of safety issues. “They would approach us (on the sidelines) and say, ‘I got a hard hit; I’m not feeling well. Can you check me out?’ ”
Although Hayden said most concussions are not as severe as the head trauma he’s seen during his 21 years in emergency medicine, they can range from a mild loss of balance, inability to perform simple tasks and headaches that last three or four days to more severe trauma, like that reportedly sustained last fall at La Jolla High. Hayden said his oldest son, Connor, sustained a mild concussion after coming head-to-head with another player while returning a punt. “He said to me the next day in school he had a little trouble seeing some of the words on the chalkboard. The teacher would write stuff up and it looked like a couple of words were missing, or he just couldn’t concentrate on them. That lasted for about two or three days and then his headaches got better. ... He missed one game, but then the following week he was 100 percent back to normal.”
Indicators of more severe brain dysfunction would include vomiting and more persistent headaches. “There really are not very hard-and-fast, well-defined criteria that say (what a concussion is),” Hayden said. “It’s just sort of an overall clinical gestalt.”
Shear forces
Although there are products on the market to help reduce head-on impacts — including gel packs worn under or over the helmet designed to absorb kinetic energy — Hayden said there is virtually nothing that can protect a player from shear forces, or rotational impacts in which one part of the body is being pushed in one direction, and another part of the body in the opposite direction. “It’s not necessarily the direct energy to the brain that causes the problem,” Hayden said. “It’s almost always that you hit the head a little to the side, and it snaps to the side. … There are things that you can do to reduce the direct energy that’s transmitted to the brain” such as helmet design, “but even with all of that, there’s no way to completely prevent a concussion from happening because of shear forces.”
Importance of protocols
Being able to recognize the signs of a concussion is crucial, Hayden said, because it’s the second impact — sustained while the brain is in a vulnerable state — that does the greatest amount of damage. “If you don’t allow the brain to heal, to get back to normal, and you get a second impact while the brain is still vulnerable, that’s when we think they’re going to get much more severely injured, which leads to these long-term problems (such as) the chronic traumatic encephalopathy that (the late San Diego Chargers linebacker) Junior Seau had. … That’s what they develop over time and it’s very likely from impact after impact before the brain has had an opportunity to heal. “On the other hand,” Hayden said, “just because somebody takes a hard hit, that doesn’t necessarily mean they have to come out of the game. There’s got to be some sort of a rationality to it.”

By Pat Sherman n response to a football injury at La Jolla High School last season that reportedly left a junior varsity player with a severe concussion and ongoing health issues, La Jolla Light spoke at length with two men who have close ties to the school’s football program. Stephen Hayden, a professor of emergency medicine at UC San Diego and a father of both current and former La Jolla High football players, and Rey Hernandez, the school’s former head football coach, discussed considerations for maintaining and improving game safety at the high school level — particularly in terms of reducing head trauma. In 2011, Hayden approached Hernandez (then La Jolla High’s head coach) about conducting a study at the school to help identify players potentially suffering from a concussion — and to catch them before their condition could worsen. While professional teams conduct advanced baseline and computer tests on players to spot head trauma, there is rarely money for such screening at the high school level, Hayden noted. With assistance from Ben Lowe, the school’s athletic trainer — a certified professional taught to do everything from tape ankles to spot and respond to head trauma — a UCSD screening protocol was developed and approved through the university’s Human Research Protections Program. The protocol, which ended the year before current head football coach Jason Carter took the reins, involved using volunteer UCSD researchers to conduct an initial baseline screening of players at the beginning of the season. Each time it was suspected a player might have a concussion, the baseline observational test was repeated and compared to the one conducted at the beginning of the season to compare differences in response and performance. The screening, which involved freshman, junior varsity and varsity players, employed a set of cognitive tests, including simple questions such as the time and date, game score and what quarter of the game it was. A series of short-term memory tests were also conducted in which players were asked to repeat the months of the year backwards or were given a string of numbers to repeat backwards immediately, and again five

www.lajollalight.com has long carried a card on him listing steps to recognize and respond to a concussion. He said San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) and high school football programs across the country have overtly stepped up their game in recent years following media scrutiny of the long-term effects of repeated head trauma sustained by NFL players. Today, the SDUSD conducts training for coaches and assistant coaches to help them with everything from recognizing concussions to dealing with diabetic athletes and those with bee-sting allergies. “For a long time concussions were not an issue,” he said. “It was what happened with the NFL when that started surfacing. That’s when everybody started taking notice … and scrambling to get additional certifications. … I think a lot of these coaches had to reassess — ‘What do we have to do to keep the players safe, but at the same time maintain some competitive edge on the defensive side of the ball?’ ” Although the rules are different for high school football, teen players at times try to emulate what they see in the NFL or college ball, Hernandez said. “You’ve got to explain to them a lot of times that the rules are different — everything from you can’t wear war paint on your face like you see the college guys doing, to you can’t wear a dark visor on your helmet. … At the pro level the kneepads are really small and the kids want to wear them like that in high school.”
Importance of trainers
Hernandez estimates that only about 30 to 40 percent of schools nationwide have

athletic trainers. They are not required or paid for by the SDUSD; La Jolla High’s trainer is funded by the school’s foundation, he said. “In our program, when we had any type of injury, unless it was a real serious one where we had to call emergency personnel, everything went through our trainer,” he said. “Most of the schools in the United States don’t have trainers, so you have coaches out there trying to handle the whole thing, and that’s where the problems begin — a lack of expertise. I know the basics about concussion protocols … but I don’t
have the training that these people have in terms of going over and above that — setting a broken leg or things of that nature.” Hernandez said the decline of the traditional huddle — which he considers a primary source of concussion detection — has also reduced the safety of the game, both at the high school and professional level. “There’s so much fast-tempo spread offenses that are being played now that the defense doesn’t (have time to) huddle anymore … because they’re going to snap the ball at you and they’re going to be running a play,” he

said. “It sped the game up.” During a huddle, Hernandez said, “There was a little bit of personal interaction (between players). A kid would come to the sideline and say, ‘Hey coach, something’s wrong with so-and-so; he’s not lining up right, or he’s forgetting where to go. … That source of information has disappeared on the high school level.” Hernandez said problems also occur when teams with a disproportionate number of players — or skill levels — are pitted against each other. “In some of the tragic stories, one of the common denominators you see is programs that are small in numbers, where you might have 22 kids on the total roster,” he said. “When you’re down to those numbers, there’s obviously going to be players playing both (positions),” leading to player fatigue, in which the potential for injuries is exacerbated. Hayden said the La Jolla High freshmen and junior varsity teams had “overall kind of small squads” last season. “Many of the players had to play both offense and defense,” he said, noting that his son, quarterback Kenny Hayden, was frequently pulled in to play cornerback or safety or defensive linebacker. “A lot of the boys have to play both ways just in order to be able to field a team,” Hayden said. Hernandez also said inadequate player preparation or a too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen coaching approach can increase risks. In a recent, unpublished article Hernandez

From Head Trauma, A23 makes the case that a new statewide law that went into effect Jan. 1 (AB 2127) — which limits middle school and high school students to 90 minutes of full-contact football drills twice per week and bans full-contact practice during the off-season — has the potential to decrease game safety, by making inexperienced players vulnerable on the field. “Practice scheduling decisions are probably best left up to the coaches as they are the ones who are best able to make decisions that will be tailored to meet the needs of their own individual players, while taking into consideration any special constraints that are associated with their programs,” Hernandez writes. “A one-sizefits-all approach, such as that provided by AB 2127, is probably not the best way to go about making high school football as safe as possible for the student athletes.” Another change Hernandez notes from the time he started coaching football in the 1970s until now is the amount of private coaching students are receiving — something he said he saw a lot of at La Jolla High (and other schools), which can prove problematic. “Back then nobody coached your kids except for yourself and your (assistant) coaches,” he said. “Kids nowadays are being coached by everybody. Personal trainers, personal coaches and elite camps … (have) made it difficult for many coaches to administer their own programs. Kids are being taught to do one thing by a personal coach and then they’re coming back to your program and maybe what they were taught there isn’t necessarily in the best interest of

The Future of High School Football?
A
lthough concussion-related class-action lawsuits had been filed against the National Football League (NFL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), it wasn’t until late last year that the first such litigation was filed over high school football, when a former Illinois high school football player filed a class-action lawsuit against the Illinois High School Association over concussion protocols and management. Joseph Siprut, the attorney who filed on behalf of 29-year-old Daniel Bukal, said his ultimate goal is to sue every state high school athletic association in the country, changing the rules nationwide to make the game safer. La Jolla High School’s former head football coach, Rey Hernandez, said he sees a future where the threat of litigation could become so severe that school districts decide to stop offering the game altogether. “The liability (would be) too great,” he said, positing that high-school level football could one day be exclusively a club sport. “There’s going to be high school football, but it’s not going to be your high school team. … What it’s going to do is squeeze out the average kid that likes playing football just because he likes to play and he’s having fun, that knows he’s not going to go on to play at the pro or college level. In a way that’s kind of sad, because football rosters are composed of a lot different kids and they all bring something to the table that makes it a positive experience.” u
(your program). It doesn’t help the cohesiveness of your team and your unit.” Despite the increased awareness of head trauma and brain injury, Hernandez maintains, “high school football isn’t anywhere near as dangerous as people are making it out to be. “This is not the NFL. Those guys are big, and they’re fast,” he said, though noting, “you’re starting to get (high school) teams that resemble junior college teams sometimes with the number and the size of some of the kids.”

To combat injured players succumbing to potential pressure to “suck it up” for the sake of the team, Hernandez said he reminded his students that they were a family, asking, “ ‘How many of you would let one of your brothers do something that’s going to endanger their life … like suffering some type of second impact and dying from a concussion?’ … I said, ‘It’s no different with your football family. You guys are like brothers on the field, and if you see something like that that’s going on, it’s not about ratting out your teammate or your
teammate wanting to stay on the field. ’ ” Beyond physical injury, Hernandez said, psychological effects of the game caused by an increased pressure to perform, are also worth addressing. “In many ways, high school athletes — especially the ones that look like they’re going to (get a) scholarship … or go to the next level — are being treated the way professional athletes have been treated for many years,” he said. “You’ve got high school games being televised on ESPN; kids have press conferences now to announce their signing. They’re in Sports Illustrated. There’s nothing really wrong with that per se … (but) I’ve always said this: If you are going to start treating kids like adults, you’re going to have adult problems.”
District update
According to Ursula Kroemer, SDUSD public information officer, a new districtwide concussion protocol created by SDUSD physician Dr. Howard Taras will be presented in April to associated student body teams, athletic directors and other physical education and coaching staff district-wide. “As the medical and athletic communities continue to learn more about preventing, detecting and safely and fully recovering from injuries — especially head injuries and concussions, and at all grade levels — we will continue to review our practices so they are always best practices,” Kroemer replied, via e-mail. “We are also working with the Chargers organization to support and deepen collaboration, training and understanding with players, trainers and coaches alike.” u

From New Ranger, A1 “(Be assured) there will be presence, but it won’t be in a full eight-hour shift,” Rye said. The hours he spends at each location will vary based on the needs of the community and what rangers deem necessary. Rye’s presence at Children’s Pool comes in addition to the patrol of full-time ranger Richard Belesky, who is stationed at the site five days a week. Asked whether his patrol means Children’s Pool is now monitored seven days a week, Rye said “yes and no.” Per the terms of the California Coastal Commission’s issuance of a Coastal Development Permit for the placement of a HSY-1863-AnthemMaint Ad UT Community Press year-round guideline rope at the Children’s
La Jolla
Parks and Beaches Pool, 16 days of observation recording is required. Approved monitors (including rangers) are required to record observations such as number of seals hauled out at Children’s Pool, weather, tide patterns, and more. 10.33"w x 9.25"h 4-Color Border prints Rye said that as long as the 16 days of
recorded observations are met, there doesn’t need to be a ranger stationed seven days a week. However, if additional observation is necessary, Rye could supplement coverage. Although Rye’s patrol also includes Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores — a request the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) advisory board has made repeatedly over the years — LJSA still requests that funding for a full-time ranger dedicated solely to Kellogg Park be incorporated into the 2016 Capital Improvement List. The $115,000 for the shoreline park ranger and associated equipment was part of the fiscal year 2015 budget approved by the San Diego City Council on June 9, 2014. City Council President Sherri Lightner, whose district covers La Jolla, advocated for the
ranger posting. “Council President Lightner is very excited to have the newly assigned Shoreline Park Ranger Parish Rye on patrol in La Jolla. Kellogg and Scripps Parks are two of the most popular and heavily used beach parks in San Diego,” said Jennifer Kearns, Lightner’s director of communications. “This heavy use has led to quality of life issues that in the past have been handled by Police and Lifeguards. These calls often result in both departments being called away from their primary missions and areas of responsibility to respond to issues. … The Ranger position was added, in part, as a result of requests from the public, so Council President Lightner is pleased to see requests for essential services be fulfilled.” u

Parents: Stop running red light at Nautilus St. Tuesday morning (Jan. 27 at 6:55 a.m.) I observed five red-light runners heading to Muirlands Middle School — four SUVs and a small import did not stop for the red light at Nautilus Street and Muirlands Drive. Moments later, all five vehicles were parked and letting their students out at Muirlands. Parents, what are you doing? The young student riding shotgun in the import vehicle looked terrified! Students and schools need reminders of safety. Parents the life you can save is your own child’s! Anne Egan La Jolla
Rec Center pine tree suffered an unfair fate Sadly, not too long ago, a beautiful pine tree in front of the La Jolla Recreation Center lost about 40 percent of itself. This could have been prevented had the tree ever been pruned in the previous 80-plus years of its life. The city crews

came out and cleaned up the broken off limbs. The tree was now unbalanced having lost nearly half of its mass on one side. Pine trees have notoriously shallow root systems and presumably city landscapers knew this, too, and would soon take action to address the imbalance by pruning the tree back. No such luck or even thought! Two weeks later, the remaining 60 percent of the tree toppled over, taking with it the flagpole. Sad to say, but this is typical perfunctory incompetence that we pay a lot of money for. I would not doubt that all parties involved even got bonuses last year. All of this could have been prevented. Had the tree ever been pruned the limbs would not have broken off. The tree would not have subsequently toppled over. The flagpole would not have had to been repaired and we would not be looking at the neighboring tree (in need of pruning as well) and wondering how much time it has left before it meets a similar fate. Is there a plan or thought about replacing this tree and others? Zeke Woolley La Jolla Editor’s Note: To report a city tree that has fallen, needs trimming or other attention, phone the city’s Street Division at (619) 5277500 or e-mail street_service@sandiego.gov, or, if the tree is in a city park, phone Park and Rec Area Manager Mark Moncey at (858) 581-9716. If a tree poses a public safety hazard, residents are encouraged to call 911. See related story, A5

Stanley Thomas Counts 1926 – 2015
Stanley Counts, a 38 year resident of La Jolla, passed away on January 27, 2015, from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. He was born in Weleetka, OK, in 1926 to Claude and Thelma Counts. He graduated in 1943 from East High School in Wichita, Kansas. He attended Wichita State University after enlisting in the Naval Reserve in March 1944, attended Washburn University (Topeka, KS) under the V-12 program prior to entering the U.S. Naval Academy in June 1945. He was commended for his leadership while at the Naval Academy and graduated on June 3, 1949. He had previously met a young, very attractive lady (while home on leave) on
a double date (although he wasn’t her date at the time!) He persistently pursued her long distance while at the U.S. Naval Academy. Stan and Bette Heft were married in Wichita on November 18, 1949. They immediately moved to Norfolk, VA, where Stan went to sea to start his career as a surface warrior. His initial sea tours were First Lieutenant, Assistant Gunnery Officer and Communications Officer onboard the USS O’Hare (DD-889); Combat Information Officer onboard the USS Bexar (APA-237) during the Korean War; Operations Officer onboard the USS Keppler (DDE-765); and Navigator and Executive Officer onboard the USS Coolbaugh (DE -217). Stan received his MS in Engineering Electronics from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, in June 1955. Coincidently, their daughter, Ashlie, was born during their time in Monterey. In 1959, he was assigned to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, as Assistant for Operational Control Center Systems and then became the commissioning Executive Officer and Navigator of the USS Lawrence (DDG4), which participated in the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was the commissioning Commanding Officer of the USS Bronstein (DE1037) and had additional duty as Commander, Escort Division, THIRTY-TWO. Staying in San Diego, he served as Operations Officer and Assistant Plans Officer on Commander Cruiser Destroyer Force, Pacific Fleet and in July of 1966 became Commanding Officer of USS Towers (DDG-9). He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” for heroic operations in combat, taking his ship into heavily fortified waters of Haiphong Harbor to rescue a downed U.S. aviator. With North Vietnamese gun batteries attempting to engage Towers, CDR Counts expertly maneuvered his ship in
full defensive posture and successfully rescued the downed airman. In August of 1968 Stan became the first Project Manager of the NATO SEASPARROW Surface Missile System and started a program that has become the longest lasting and most successful U.S. cooperative weapons program. He was awarded the Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious service for establishing NATO SEASPAROW. He assumed command of the guided missile cruiser, USS Chicago (CG-11), in November of 1970 and during his command, USS Chicago was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation and RADM Counts was personally awarded his second Legion of Merit for combat operations in Southeast Asia. He was selected for Flag Rank in the spring of 1971 and became the Director for Ships Weapons Electronics Systems, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Production Engineering and Material), Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installations and Logistics). RADM Counts was awarded his third Legion of Merit for, “outstanding service in connection with implementing revised procedures for the acquisition of major Defense Weapons Systems.” During this time he also served as United States Member, NATO SEASPARROW Project Steering Committee, serving as the second Chairman from April 1973 to December 1976. In January 1974, he was appointed by the Chief of Naval Material to chair the Action Group to plan the merger of the Naval Ordnance and Naval Ship Systems Commands. In April of 1974 he became the last Commander, Naval Ordnance System Command, and in July 1974 assumed duties as the first Vice Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command. Admiral Counts’ last at sea command was as Commander, Cruiser Destroyer Group Five from
1976 to 1978. During this time he deployed twice to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean, serving as Commander, Cruiser Destroyer Force, Seventh Fleet (CTF-75). He was awarded his fourth Legion of Merit for, “displaying inspirational leadership and unparalleled professional expertise.” He retired from the U.S. Navy in 1978, after 34 years of service, and in 1979 joined Hughes Aircraft Company in Fullerton, CA. He served as Manager for the Spares Program Office within the Ground Systems Group and as Assistant Division Manager for Engineering Services and Support. He retired from Hughes in 1989. Upon retirement from Hughes Aircraft, he did not sit back and rock on the porch. Stan volunteered throughout San Diego, serving as President for Greater La Jolla Meals on Wheels, President of Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge and was a member of the La Jolla Guild, the San Diego Opera, the California Ballet, the Rest and Aspiration Club of San Diego, the Navy League, the American Legion and the VFW. He also was a life member of U.S. Naval Institute, Disabled American Veterans, Military Officers Association, and the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association. He was a founder of the Surface Navy Association and served on the Board of Directors from 1985 – 1993. Rear Admiral Counts’ awards include the American Campaign Medal, World War II Victory medal, Navy Occupation Service Medal (Europe Clasp), China Service Medal, National Defense Medal (two awards), Korean Service Medal (two awards), United Nations Service Medal, Navy Expeditionary Medal (Cuba), Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with two stars, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Bronze Star with Combat V, and Legion of Merit (three awards). He was also very

proud of the fact that all three of his commands earned the Battle Efficiency “E” while he was in command. Stan and Bette enjoyed sailing – they sailed around San Diego, around Turkey, and around the Caribbean. They also learned to snow ski when they were 47 and skied all over Europe, Argentina, New Zealand and the United States. Mammoth Mountain became their favorite place. Stan was also an avid, if frustrated, golfer and enjoyed playing on many golf courses around the world. Stan is survived by his wife of 65 years, Bettejan H. Counts; his daughter, Ashlie Counts-Jenkins and son-in-law, CAPT Robert D. Jenkins, III, USN (ret) of Tucson, AZ; grandson, LT Robert D. Jenkins IV, USN of Coronado, CA, (USNA ’04); and granddaughter, Skyler Counts Jenkins of Tucson, AZ. He is also survived by his sister, Carolyn Counts Bourne of Scripps Ranch; her daughters, Linda (Marcio) Bourne-Marcos of Carlsbad and Cheryl (Geoff) Bourne Murray of Solana Beach; Carolyn’s son, Robert Bourne of San Diego; his cousin, L. Bruce (Pam) Schmidt of Scripps Ranch; and many nieces and nephews from across the country. Visitation will be on Friday, February 6, 2015, from 2 – 4 pm at the Pacific Beach Chapel of Dignity Memorial, 4710 Cass Street, San Diego, CA 92109. Services will be held at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Chapel on February 9, 2015, at 1:00 pm, followed by burial at Miramar National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that a donation to La Jolla Meals on Wheels (http://www. lajollamealsonwheels.org) or the San Diego Chapter of Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge (http://www. freedomsfoundationsd. com) be made in his name.

Ready? OK! New cheer coach has high hopes for La Jolla High squad By Ashley Mackin hen Mia Kelley stepped in to become La Jolla High School’s new cheerleading coach in November, it was a bit of a rough start. She was the third coach in a year to take the reigns, and after a change in practice schedule interfered with a handful of senior activities, some of the older students quit the team. But the Colorado native and professional hairstylist has high hopes for the squad, which she plans to coach for the long run. “Cheerleaders have always struggled to be respected by their peers who say it’s not really an athletic activity or not really a sport, so that’s my big thing, I want squad members to behave like athletes so they are treated like athletes,” she said, noting that competing in cheerleading contests is also on the horizon. “Next year, my goal will be to get them Mia Kelley conditioned and in shape and ready to compete,” Kelley said. “They want to compete, but they have a lot ahead of them to get there.” To reach fighting shape, Kelley has her squad, a combination of junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders blended into one team, practice weekly with an emphasis on running and core strength. The team of 14 girls and one boy run a mile before practice, occasionally run up and down the bleachers, stretch, and do core work — all before cheer drills begin. “It’s not just a free-for-all, I bring some discipline and structure,” Kelley said. “It was hard for them to have a few different coaches and that instability. Without a coach, people missed practices and it was more laid back.” A junior and third-year cheerleader, Abigail Weber, who has seen coaches come and go, said, “There was a time of about two months where we didn’t have a coach, so we conducted practices ourselves,” she said. “Parents would come and supervise, but it was mostly us running it. I think

New cheer coach Mia Kelley has the team work on jumps during every practice. we will get back on track with this coach.” Coach Kelley, a former competitive cheerleader, said she was cutting someone’s hair at Bellini Beauty Bar in La Jolla when the client started telling her how his daughter had signed up for cheer. “I told him how great that experience was for me when I did it, and all the opportunities I got from it,” she said. “A month later, he came back in and said they needed a coach.” Drawing from her experience, Kelley emphasizes jumps during practice. Jumps are used frequently in her routines and she wants to see uniformity in how high the students leap. “We run cheers and make sure they are clean and precise,” she said. But for as hard as they work, they enjoy themselves, too. “They are really fun and really silly; they all have loud personalities and are natural-born leaders,” Kelley said. “So far it has been a great experience.” Hoping to keep that experience going, Kelley has plans for next year’s tryouts (at end of the school year) and elevating the team. She plans to have a JV and varsity team. “Everyone is going to have to try out; it’s a clean slate,” she said. “Some might be put on JV, but that’s the way it has to be.” She also said she would like to work with the athletic de-

partment to establish an exercise routine exclusively for next year’s squads. This is both to prevent injuries and to keep the team physically strong and ready to challenge themselves. In the meantime, Kelley minimizes injury by only allowing the team to engage in jumps or stunts she knows how to do safely and plans to take the squad to camps where they will learn the correct way to prepare for major stunts. Weber, a flyer (the one who gets thrown in the air and caught by teammates), said she hopes to continue her cheer experience with Kelley and improve her stunt-work. “We’ve had a lot of great teammates and you learn a lot from them. It’s been a great bonding experience,” she said. Agreeing, junior Sean Nelson, the sole male on this year’s squad, said he enjoys performing with his teammates and the feeling of coming together as a team. “I definitely plan to try out again next year,” he said. “Cheer has given me something to focus my energy on. I used to be a troublemaker, but since I’ve been on cheer, I’ve learned to work hard because now I have something to lose.” With her new squads — hopefully sharing the enthusiasm of this year’s group — Kelley said she will require that the team cheer during at least one game for every sport at La Jolla High. u

Two Letters: Children’s Pool was meant for children 1) I am one of many native San
Diegans who was introduced to the ocean at the Children’s Pool and La Jolla Cove. My parents and grandparents had confidence that by taking us there, we could learn about the ocean in a safe way. I am now a septuagenarian who still swims at La Jolla Cove four days each week and enjoys long-distance ocean swimming. There is no pool that can substitute for ocean swimming. I recently completed a round of hepatitis immunizations so that I can continue swimming at the Cove. Conditions are truly deplorable and deteriorating. Please visit La Jolla Cove, experience the noxious odors, get into the water and see that all marine life has been destroyed (if you dare), and then make the good decision to return this jewel to its long-time luster. Anthony E. Alkire La Jolla
2) Let me add my voice to the complaints about seals at Children’s Pool and the “seal huggers” who regard them as tourist attraction.
My wife and I were born at Scripps Hospital when it sat on Prospect Street and we both lived in the Village and would walk to Casa Beach as children. The nearby Cove was a bit rough for small children, which is why Ellen Browning Scripps donated her money to build the seawall to create a Children’s Pool. The Shores was a good beach, but too far for young children to walk. When Scripps funded the Children’s Pool, there were no seals there until many years later. I’ll bet the great La Jolla benefactress spins in her grave when people start talking about what a great tourist attraction the seals have become. Excuse me, but the last thing La Jolla needs is another tourist attraction. u Fred Livingstone La Jolla

Hotel to correct leaky sprinkler equipment By Pat Sherman A La Jolla Shores resident and La Jolla Light reader, who strolls by Hotel La Jolla during her morning walks, phoned to report leaky sprinkler equipment, which she said has been steadily dripping for months on end, despite bringing it to the attention of hotel staff. “What bothers me is we’re in a drought and we’re supposed to conserve water,” said the woman, who chose to voice her grievance anonymously. “They come out and they fix it and it stays fixed for a few weeks or a month and then it starts running again. … No wonder they have gnats flying all over the lawn.” Contacted by the Light, the hotel’s general manager, Shannon Foster, said the equipment in question controls water pressure as it flows from the city. She said the hotel’s chief engineer would contact the company that services the equipment to make an adjustment and stop the leak. “We’re looking into that,” Foster assured, adding her chief engineer also found that three of the hotel’s sprinklers — which water the grounds for a few hours several times a week,
Hotel La Jolla said they will work to correct the problem in the near future. Pat Sherman starting at 11 p.m. — were also leaking. “The covers have been replaced and the sprinklers are no longer leaking,” she said. City of San Diego code compliance officer Anita Koyama said the city responds to irrigation leaks with a written letter, a follow-up warning and then a citation. “We give them three chances … with irrigation,” she said, assuring the hotel would receive a letter this week. “With anything else, more than likely they’d get a citation right away.”
La Valencia leak Meanwhile Koyama said a small, but persistent leak in the water system at La Valencia
Hotel on Prospect Street reported last fall is being corrected by the hotel, though noting the repair must be completed soon as Coast Boulevard concrete will be replaced in the coming months, directly below the hotel. “We can’t have water flowing down into that street,” she said. La Valencia managing director Mark Dibella said the hotel has remained in weekly contact with Koyama via its chief engineer, Jason Sealee. “We have worked with a multitude of professional trades to determine the origin of the leak, which has included sonar and camera, excavation and demolition,” Dibella said. “Our costs to uncover the source of problem thus far have exceeded $10,000. As the pending street work approaches, … (we installed) a pump to reclaim the leaking water and return it to proper drains on the property.” Dibella said the hotel is awaiting two proposals this week that could provide options to solve the leak, the source of which is believed to be from a water line underneath one of the hotel’s Villa buildings. “Proposals would involve rerouting water lines completely,” he said, noting that solving the issue remains a “top priority” for the hotel. u

Grace Chow with one of her paintings
Courtesy
La Jolla artist opens exhibition in Poway By Emily Sorensen new art exhibit featuring the art of La Jolla resident Grace Chow, as well as some of the artwork of her in-laws, Chow Chian Chiu and Chow Leung Chen Ying, is on display through Feb. 23 at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts (PCPA), 15498 Espola Road, Poway. There will be an artist’s reception for the show from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, where Chow will give a talk and painting demonstration (at 11 a.m.). The exhibit will feature about 10 to 12 traditional Chinese brush paintings of the late Chow Chian Chiu and his wife, Chow Leung Chen Ying, and about 40 of Grace Chow’s paintings, which include mixed media, oil, acrylic and Chinese brush painting. Chow Chian Chiu died in 2006, and his wife in 2005. Grace Chow said she’s been exhibiting her late in-laws’ artwork alongside her own for about 10 years. Her in-laws’ art will be on display in the main lobby, while her art will be on the wall facing the lobby and upstairs. Every show she does has a different theme, often based on her world travels. This show, her fifth at the PCPA, is based on her travels in Alaska, Canada’s Northwest Territories, Turkey, Israel, China, and Fiji, as well as some inspired by San Diego. “The whole show has many different varieties (of artwork),” said Chow. “When you go see it, you’ll be very surprised, because some of it seems like it is aimed for children, and some for adults, because I use different mediums and different thought processes.”

What Was … and May Have Been Bygone buildings’ potential revisited in Historical Society exhibit By Pat Sherman he La Jolla Historical Society is raising about a dozen razed (or fundamentally altered) buildings from their proverbial graves to show how they might have complemented today’s landscape if preservation had been given the same consideration as development. The interdisciplinary exhibit, “What Was Is,” running Feb. 14-May 17 in the Society’s Wisteria Cottage Galleries (780 Prospect St.), fuses the prudence and foresight of historic preservationists with the vision and creativity of local architects, visual artists and writers. In conceiving the exhibit, historians from La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) and Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) developed a list of 24 significant structures in La Jolla and San Diego that have been lost to time and expediency — buildings that, had they survived, likely would have been considered among today’s historic resources.

A Loud Silence: Deaf artists explore sound
A
rt can be of great value in helping us look at concepts like “difference” and “equality” in new ways. It can even speed the process of our social evolution. The Calit2 gallery (California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology) on the UC San Diego campus is one place where they are not afraid to do this and that makes it worthy of our attention. Calit2 is a place that can help us grow. Its curators and artists make our humanity “bigger.” The latest show at Calit2 is called “LOUD silence.” It’s about sound and hearing and explores the question, “What do deaf people really hear?” The artists in this show collectively attempt to explode the myth of a silent deaf world. They aim to build a pathway that will help eradicate any prejudice against deaf people and lead to new ways of thinking about sound and silence. Social scientists Carol Padden and Tom Humphries say people with deafness actually know a lot about sound; it informs and inhabits their world just as much it does the next person. It’s just that the deaf hear more viscerally — through vibrations and feelings. They may even see sound. Music theorist Joseph Straus says for the deaf, “Hearing can be a much more multisensory experience.” The opening night of “LOUD silence” Jan. 22 was a very moving and uplifting experience of seeing people with sound handicaps gaily bantering back and forth in American Sign Language (ASL). A large group of the hearing impaired showed up for Christine Sun Kim’s “FingerTap Quartet.” Kim presented her performance piece both in ASL and by typing on a computer with her words displayed on a bank of 20 large-screen TVs. She shared four prompts about sound that she asked Jamie Stewart and his musical group, Xin Xin, to vocalize. The first prompt was to make “a sound that you like and think is good.” This produced vowel sounds like oh, ee and ah. The second prompt was to make “a sound that you don’t like and don’t think is good.” This led to sounds like nasty laughs, coughs, and backward-spoken words.
Curator Amanda Cacchia
Artist Christine Sun Kim
The third prompt was to make “a sound that you like but suspect might not be good.” This led to yawns and rapping rhythms. The fourth prompt to make “a sound that you don’t like but know is good,” produced foghorns, doorbells, telephone rings and babies crying. After the performance, show curator Amanda Cachia, a grad student studying art history, theory and criticism at UCSD, who is also a dwarf activist, was joined on stage by Kim, Lisa Cartwright and Brenda Brueggemann for a panel discussion about the performance and gallery exhibition. The panel explored deaf people’s conceptions of sound and the distinction between art and identity in deaf sound works. An audience member asked Kim what a deaf person’s experience of rhythm was like. Kim said that she was exploring rhythm by watching a metronome swing back and forth at different speeds, but had not yet come to any conclusions. After the panel, patrons strolled over to explore the Calit2 gallery proper, which featured things like a performance video by Shary Boyle titled “Silent Dedicatio”; an installation by Darrin Martin called “Radiolarian”; some drawings of sound scoring by Kim; and a set of sculptures titled “Breathing Instruments,” by Alison O’Daniel. u n IF YOU GO: The show runs through March 1 at UC San Diego’s Calit2 gallery inside Atkinson Hall. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. The gallery plans to host additional events with speakers and performances related to the show, which will be posted at gallery.calit2.net

UCSD marks 80th birthday of musical visionary Roger Reynolds By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt 80-year-old Roger Reynolds, a mainstay of UC San Diego’s music department for almost half a century, has been called an explorer, a visionary and one of the most adventurous composers working today. This week, his birthday is being honored on campus with a three-day celebration that includes a symposium, an exhibit of several of his multi-media pieces, and a concert of his music for strings and electronics by the London-based Arditti Quartet. Born in Detroit, Reynolds started playing piano at 14, too late to consider a concert career. At the University of Michigan, he first studied music, then got a degree in “experimental engineering,” and worked for a time in the missile industry in Los Angeles. More satisfied practicing piano than at his day job, he returned to Roger music and Michigan, Reynolds thinking he’d someday teach piano in a small college. But a course called “Composition for Non-Composers” changed the course of his life. “The professor introduced us to the way a creative mind works,” Reynolds said. “But he completely decimated the first string trio I wrote for class. That was shattering, of course, but then he asked if I’d like to take private lessons with him.” It took a while, but Reynolds finally managed to please his mentor, and after a number of successful compositions and performances, the teacher announced he had nothing more to teach. So in 1963, Reynolds went off to Europe with Karen Hill, a flutist who had premiered one of his pieces. The two were married in London, and began performing and producing musical events in various cities, including Tokyo, where their daughter was born.
quartet and a quartet of actors, with multiple projections and multichannel sound, which explores the ancient-tomodern history of the human desire to fly. After all these years, does he still think of his work as experimental? “I don’t like the word ‘experimental,’ ” he said. “It seems to imply that you’re not really sure what you’re doing, which is not the case. I prefer ‘explorative’ or ‘innovative.’ Of course, I’m still working outside most of the boxes. You don’t want to work outside all of them; art must have limitations — norms — or you really can’t do anything.”
A scene from ‘george WASHINGTON,’ one of Roger Reynolds’ multimedia works on view through Feb. 5 at UCSD’s Conrad Prebys Music Center. Margot Ingoldsby Schulman At home and abroad, Reynolds had a gift for befriending interesting composers and musicians, people like John Cage and Iannis Xenakis, who thought outside the box, as he did, and had uncommon visions about what music could be. In 1965, under a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, he returned to the United States to work with the Seattle Symphony; another Rockefeller grant enabled him to check out job possibilities along the West Coast. He soon received several offers. UCSD won out. “The nature of their aspirations was very appealing,” he said. “They were looking for practicing artists to aerate the academic environment, and they brought me in as a visiting lecturer; then they offered me a permanent, tenured position as associate professor in 1969.” On campus, he founded the Center for Music Experiment, which encouraged the exploration of new technologies; he has mentored composers ever since. His work, widely performed and recorded, includes live and computer-generated music, poetry, video and theater, but he also writes books and articles, and spends three months a
year in Washington, D.C., where he runs an Arts Internship Program. A Pulitzer Prize winner, he has been honored by the National Institute of Arts and Letters, and collections of his works are installed in The Library of Congress and Sacher Foundation in Basel, Switzerland, a repository for musical manuscripts.
The Work
The Exhibit
The installation in the Music Center’s Experimental Theatre was created by New York-based percussionist and videographer Ross Karre, along with UCSD recording engineer Josef Kucera. Karre, a UCSD alumnus with degrees in music and visual arts, has been collaborating with Reynolds since his student days. “I was never a direct student of Roger’s, but as a percussionist, I premiered many of his works, and we talked about how video documentation and projection design could enhance the music,” Karre said. Their collaborations continue on both coasts, with Karre doing visuals for “george WASHINGTON” and the upcoming “Flight.” The exhibit gives the public a chance to experience “george WASHINGTON,” “Sanctuary,” and several other multi-media pieces, including an early work, “PING,” which originally used 16mm film and 35mm slide projectors. u
In 2000, Reynolds became composer-inresidence at UCSD’s Calit2 (California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology), a hotbed of innovative collaborations. At Calit2, he not only completed “Sanctuary,” a composition for percussion quartet and real-time computer, but found ways to document the process for future performers. “Sanctuary” premiered at the National Gallery in Washington in 2007, and was then performed at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. In 2013, his orchestral work, “george n If you go: Roger Reynolds 80th WASHINGTON,” premiered at the Kennedy Birthday Celebration at UCSD, Conrad Center, with text taken from Washington’s Prebys Music Center 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. letters and diaries, and sounds and sights Thursday, Feb. 5.

Each contributor was asked to select a structure as a point of departure, reflecting on the circumstances that might have allowed its continued existence. “Some artists went right to the heart of the idea of adaptive reuse and took a literal run at it,” LJHS executive director Heath Fox said. “Others took a more conceptual approach.” Fox said the exhibit is designed not only to highlight history, but to make it relevant to viewers, showing how it can be “interpreted in creative ways to inform the present and to help shape the future.” La Jolla structures on the list included the historic, albeit crumbling Red Rest and Red Roost cottages on Coast Boulevard, which James Brown of Public Architecture selected.

envisions using the most salvageable parts from one cottage to restore the other. It would be raised 50 feet above ground on stilts to protect it from projected sea level rise due to global warming. (One of the project parameters was to promote a conversation about the sustainable built environment, and the cultural and environmental benefits of historic preservation). “The other cottage (or its remnants) would be buried 50 feet and encased in a concrete tomb,” Fox said, adding that Brown envisions a designated caretaker looking after the restored cottage, while

Wonderful Windemere Designer-craftsman Roy McMakin (Murals of La Jolla), who conceived of the exhibit, and business partner, Tom Mulica (both of Bankers Hill-based Domestic Architecture) chose Windemere, the first Craftsman Cottage built in California (1894) and designed by master architect Irving Gill. In 2011, the property owner, seeking to build a larger, more modern home for his family, demolished the structure on Virginia Way. In a series of digital CAD renderings, McMakin and Mulica proposed a scenario

in which the cottage is instead moved onto the front-yard setback, and a more modern, contemporary residence paying homage to Gill’s later works (La Jolla Rec Center, La Jolla Woman’s Club) be constructed at the rear of the property, each home complementing the other. McMakin said he lived on Prospect Street while attending graduate school at UC San Diego (where he studied Gill’s architecture), and would often wander by and peer in the windows when it was vacant. “I was pretty sickened by its demise,” he said. “I just felt like one way or another there were lots of ways that could have

Unable to demolish the structures and redevelop the property as a hotel (due to the cottages’ historic status) or find a solution that included at least partial restoration, the 1894 cottages have stood virtually unmaintained for three decades — what preservationists consider “demolition by neglect.” Fox said Brown (the local architect shepherding the futuristic La Jolla Shores home proposal on Whale Watch Way) created a set of narrative drawings that

Green Dragon Colony San Diego Art Prize recipient James Enos — trained in architecture, with a background in technology and design — chose the Green Dragon Colony, a former artists haven comprised of beach cottages built onto the slope between Prospect Street and Coast Boulevard (today home to shops and restaurants such as Eddie V’s). “One of the things that struck him about the cottages were their relative simplicity,” Fox said. “The materials and construction methods were really straightforward. It was
the type of thing that did not have the complexity of buildings today where trained architects need to be involved … as well as consultants on building, plumbing and electrical.” In a series of graphite drawings, Enos deconstructs one of the cottages, displaying the jumble of its parts, while using the elements of another cottage to reconstruct it in his own fashion (fittingly titled, “Have It Your Way”). “It relates to today’s whole do-it-yourself movement, where so many people are involved with their own remodeling projects,” Fox said.

Pacific Coast Steamship Company In “Lost Limb” (rolled steel and brass plate), La Jolla architect Jennifer Luce ventured in an even more conceptual direction in reviving the story of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company (PCSC). Its ships traveled the Pacific Coast from Mexico to Alaska, unloading coal, gold and produce at 20 ports, including a pier that stood at the foot of Fifth Avenue in downtown San Diego. “Unfortunately, we do lose buildings now and then. … Having a narrative around remembering them I think is an amazing idea,” said Luce, who was previously commissioned to create a PCSC-inspired art
installation at Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter — the exact site where the PCSC pier stood before infill and expansion of the downtown coastline. “I have an affectionate history with the subject matter so when I saw it the list of potential projects I thought, ‘We have to do that,’ ” she said. Luce’s contribution is a cantilevered table made of steel (from which PCSC freight ships were also constructed), a map of its route etched into its surface. “We’re in a sort of abstract way telling a story of where the steamship company went along its journey,” she said. “The table is a metaphor for the pier that reaches out along the water’s edge to the boat.” Luce’s piece also tells the tale of PCSC’s San Diego agent, S.T. Johnson, whose mother reportedly gave each of her children a few drops of saltwater at birth to protect them the sea. Johnson would survive five shipwrecks during his 54 years with PCSC. “We’re sort of celebrating that story as well in an etching,” Luce said. “I’m really looking forward to presenting (the work). It’s a really critical part of San Diego’s history and growth … tethered to all these other places.” Lead organizers for “What Was Is” include Fox, McMakin, Murals of La Jolla curator and former Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego curator Lynda Forsha, and participating artist David Jurist, whose contribution was inspired by the architecturally compromised 1958 Oxley House, a mid-century modern residence on La Jolla Farms Road. u

“Black Dolls,” an art exhibition featuring 125 inimitable, handmade African-American dolls created between 1850 and 1940, will have its world premiere, Feb. 7-July 5 at Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park. The dolls are believed to have been created by African Americans and portray playful boys and girls, finely dressed gentlemen and elegant young ladies, distinguished older men and stately, determined women of mature years. Their embroidered, stitched and painted faces express a variety of emotions — surprise, puzzlement, contentment and joy. The dolls are constructed of mixed media, many made of leftover materials, including precious bits of lace, ribbon and selvage. Several dolls have delicate paper clothing, teeth and eyes; others have a small piece of wood or leather inserted under the fabric to form a nose. Some dolls have heads made from coconut shells, leather-wrapped heads and limbs, or make use of manufactured doll parts. “Black Dolls” also includes a selection of rare 19th and 20th century photographs of dolls, posed alone or clutched by their young owners. The images provide a historical context for the handmade and cherished companions. To illuminate these stories and to honor Black History Month, the Mingei collaborated with several local organizations to develop public programs related to the exhibition.
“Black Dolls” is the fourth show in the museum’s 18-month exhibition theme “American Icons — Celebrating Folk Art, Craft and Design from Coast to Coast.” u n If you go: Mingei International Museum, 1439 El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. TuesdaySunday. Closed Monday. Admission: $7-$10. (619) 239-0003. mingei.org
Related Programs n Feb. 25, 6-8 p.m. “Why Do You Have Black Dolls?” film screening with director Samantha Knowles, museum staff, and Gaidi Finnie of the San Diego African American Fine Arts Museum. The film focuses on the little-known black doll community and shares stories of the history, beauty and pride of the black doll. Free with museum admission. n March 14, 2-4 p.m. Discussion on how African Americans have been depicted in art, memorabilia and collectibles — including dolls — throughout history, held in collaboration with SDAAFAM at Bayview Baptist Church, 6134 Benson Ave. Free. n March 18, 6-8 p.m. “Who is Leo Moss?” forensic discussion with Dr. Steve Eilenberg radiologist and artist who used X-ray and CAT scan equipment at Scripps Health to reveal information on several dolls in the exhibition.

Dr. Mom’s natural cough remedies
A
s a self-proclaimed hypochondriac, I’m particularly conscious of the cacophony of sounds (and germs) that fill the air this time of year. The irritating, uncomfortable and annoying coughs — whether croupy barks, whopping gasps, dry hacks or wet “chesty” ones — transform people into miserable and contagious Petri dishes shunned by the worried well. Alas, these bronchial ails can be soothed and healed with some simple home remedies. Thyme is of the essence: Originating from Mediterranean climes, this Herculean herb with anti-microbial properties has been used as far back as ancient Greece to treat and cure respiratory infections and assorted coughs. Its little leaves contain a mother lode of healing flavonoids to relax muscles of the trachea and bronchi, and put the skids on inflammation to open up stuffy airways. While its antiseptic properties make it a good gargle for laryngitis, brewed as a tea with honey and ginger it also soothes bronchitis. Add 2 teaspoons of fresh crushed thyme leaves to one cup of boiling spring water, a splash of fresh lemon juice, ¼-inch of shredded ginger and a spoonful of amber honey to quiet the cough and seek much needed comfort. The Buzz on Honey: Sweet, rich, viscous honey acts as a soothing demulcent to coat the delicate mucous membranes and calm even the most aggressive coughs. An antibacterial powerhouse, honey also shortens the duration of the cough. Of course, this healing food is taboo for young children, whose immature immune systems cannot fend off spores of a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum contained in honey, making them vulnerable to infant botulism. Just the flax, ma’am: A strong warrior against coughs is the mighty
flaxseed, boiled in water (then strained) to produce a thick rich syrup to soothe an irritated throat. Amp up the relief with some antibiotic honey and Vitamin C and immune-boosting lemon juice for a powerful potion. Full of ginger: The gnarly beige tuber with fibrous cream-colored flesh is either grated fresh, ground into pungent powder or formed into candied nuggets to give a smooth natural remedy for stuffy noses and scratchy throats in broths, teas or incorporated into a soothing syrup with fresh peppermint and honey. The spicy ginger in this homeopathic cough syrup loosens mucous from the lungs and airways, while the calming peppermint alleviates the irritating throat tickle that encourages coughing. When buying ginger root, look for glabrous-skins with few knots and branches, and a fresh, spicy scent. For milder, less stringy ginger, pick immature, stubbier stems. Nothing to sneeze at: To tame a wet croupy cough, follow traditional Chinese medicinal practices by brewing a cup of black pepper tea to perk up circulation and the flow of sticky, stubborn mucous in the lungs and passageways. Simply steep 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper (which packs a much more powerful one-two punch than the pre-ground spice) in a cup of boiling water, blended with a tablespoonful of organic raw honey. Strain, sip and relish the relief. Pucker up: A classic folk remedy to hush an annoying cough is to suck on a lemon. Slice a juicy Meyer or Eureka, sprinkle with some sea salt and cracked black pepper, be brave and suck away. u — For more healing recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

In a Soviet prison in 1952, Stalin’s secret police have rounded up 26 writers, the giants of Yiddish literature in Russia. As judgment looms, a 27th suddenly appears: a teenager, unpublished and unknown. Baffled by his arrest, he and his cellmates wonder at what has brought them together and wrestle with what it means to write in troubled times. Artistic Director Barry Edelstein returns to the play he premiered in New York by award-winning novelist Nathan Englander and reimagines it for the Globe’s intimate in-the-round space, bringing us larger-thanlife personalities and an unforgettable reminder of the transcendent power of storytelling.

Let’s Review Diana Saenger
Overwhelming challenges reveal a family’s depth in ‘Sons of the Prophet’
I
n Stephen Karam’s Southern California premiere of “Sons of the Prophet” at Cygnet Theatre, the cast transports the audience to a steel town near Pittsburgh where getting by is a problem for many, taking them on an even deeper dive into human suffering. Although the Douaihy Family is still reeling from the death of the matriarch and mother to Joseph (Alex Hoeffler) and his younger brother, Charles (Dylan James Mulvaney), the gay sons are in for more trauma, when their father attempts to avoid a deer in the middle of the road and doesn’t survive the accident. When it’s revealed that a high school student set a phony deer on that road, it only amplifies the grief and how to handle it. Vin (Xavier Scott) takes full credit for the misdeed, which may cost him his position on the high school football team. Son Joseph works for Gloria (Maggie Carney), an always-distracted woman who recites newspaper stories to him instead of answering his questions. Adding more angst to his life is his aging Uncle Bill (Navarre T. Perry), who is now living with them. He constantly harasses Joseph about his decisions.
Gloria (Maggie Carney) and Uncle Bill (Navarre T. Perry) share ideas about unfortunate happenings. Photos by Daren Scott
Dylan James Mulvaney (Charles) and Alex Hoeffler (Joseph) play brothers who face one trauma after another in Cygnet Theatre’s ‘Sons of the Prophet’ directed by Rob Lufty. The story is meant to explore the inevitability of loss and attempts to cope with its consequences, and the cast does a great job of bringing these elements to the forefront. They are dually terrific in the comedic
cloud that hovers over every scene. Mulvaney is on top of his game as son Charles, comfortable in his own skin. The young actor, who is appearing all over town, also shows a sensitive side when he must sit with Gloria, so his Uncle Bill doesn’t keep yelling at her. Charles also offers a shoulder of friendship to Vin by reading him Bible passages. Perry is more than adept at playing Uncle Bill. Hoeffler, as Joseph, has many ups and downs, but pulls off every one of the situations that either send him to his knees in frustration or open new doors.

One is when he meets Timothy (Austin Vaccaro), and learns he’s a newsman who wants to cover the accident story on television. Joseph is deadset against it, but feels the chemistry between them.

Varicose Veins and exercise Many people incorrectly assume that varicose and spider veins only happen to the elderly or to pregnant women. But in actuality, varicose veins can occur in anybody. There are a variety of factors, many of which have to do with lifestyle, but varicose veins are hereditary as well. The good news is that there are things you can do to help minimize your risk for varicose veins, exercise being an important one. However, it is important to know which exercises are most beneficial, which exercises might actually increase your risk for varicose veins, and how to adjust your activities accordingly. First, it might be helpful to understand a little about how your body works – your
circulatory system and legs, specifically. In general, when you exercise and your heart is pumping blood to the rest of your body, your calf muscles are what pumps the blood back up your legs, through the vena cava in your abdomen and back to your heart. Therefore, activities that strengthen your calf muscles are great for your overall circulatory health. On the other hand, however, certain strenuous activities that strain your abdomen can prevent the blood from flowing through the vena cava. This blood then pools in your legs, and this is what can lead to poor vein health and varicose veins. Let’s take a look at which exercises help or hinder this process: Exercise Dos: Walking – walking is not only the easiest exercise to fit into your daily routine, but it is also the best for your vein health. It works the calf muscle well, while still being a low-impact exercise. Stationary bikes – similarly to walking, stationary bikes are a great workout for stretching and strengthening your calves while
not adding stress to your joints. This would also be true for other elliptical machines. Compression socks – wearing compression socks or graduated compression hose help the flow of blood move back up to the heart. So they are a great idea if you are exercising, but also if you are traveling, are pregnant, or if you’re daily work routine requires an excessive amount of sitting or standing. Smaller movements – even when it’s not possible to squeeze in a 30-minute walk each day, you can help stimulate the pump that is your calf muscle by rocking your feet back and forth, heel to toe, when standing or sitting for a prolonged time. Exercise Don’ts: Running – running is obviously a great way to stay in shape, and it also strengthens the calf muscle. But running repeatedly on hard surfaces like concrete or pavement can really damage your joints. If you are a frequent runner, it’s important to seek out a softer running surface like grass, sand, or a synthetic track. Weightlifting – strenuous weightlifting can
severely harm your veins. When doing heavy lifting, you really strain your abdomen, which as I mentioned above, will restrict the blood flow moving back to the heart, thus causing that blood to pool in the legs. If you are a weightlifter, consider lower weights at higher reps, remember to exhale when you lift, and end each workout with an activity like walking to reactivate proper circulation. Other exercises – you don’t have to cut these activities out completely, but be aware that other abdomen-straining exercises like sit-ups, crunches, and even some prolonged yoga positions that strain the abdomen should be done in short sessions, and again followed by walking. Exercise is obviously an important part in maintaining your overall health, but it’s also important to be informed about how each exercise is affecting your body. If you want to discuss exercise and varicose veins further or would like to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced doctors, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

Chinese watercolors by La Jolla-based artist Grace Chow, along with Chian Chiu and Chow Leung Chen Ying, will be on display Jan. 30-Feb. 23 at Poway Center for the Performing Arts. Courtesy FROM Chinese Art, B1 Chow was born in China and grew up in Hong Kong. When she was 12, her father sent her to take brush painting lessons from Chow Chian Chiu and his wife, who would late become her in-laws. “I studied traditional Chinese brush painting with them for seven years,” Chow said. She came to the United States to attend college, earning a B.A. in Sociology from the State University of New York at Binghamton. After earning her degree, she decided to go back to the fine arts and earned B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees in painting from the University of Washington, with the goal of teaching. In 1984, her husband got a job as a professor at San Diego State University and they moved to San Diego, where Chow taught Chinese brush painting classes for
the San Diego Museum of Art and the San Diego Community College District, as well as courses in mixed media for the UC San Diego Extension Program and the Athenaeum School of the Arts. Chow said she has cut back on her teaching and presentations lately to prepare the art for this show. “I’m so glad it’s done,” she said. “I feel good about (my paintings).” All of Chow’s artwork, as well as the artwork of her in-laws, will be available for sale. Proceeds will be donated to several charities. u n IF YOU GO: The gallery at Poway Center for the Performing Arts is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sunday and Monday. Admission is free and free parking passes can be obtained from the office. (858) 748-0505. powaycenter.com

REAL ESTATE Mark Powell named San Diego ‘2014 Realtor of the Year’
M
ark Powell, broker and owner of Discovery Property Group, has been recognized as the “2014 Realtor of the Year” by the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors. “It is a great honor to receive this award because it recognizes ethics, character and service above self to the profession and the community,” Powell said. The award was presented Jan. 17 at the SDAR Installation Ceremony at The Grand Del Mar. Powell said he was working in education as a school vice principal when he decided to alter his career path and join the real estate field. “I can remember when my parents purchased their first home in 1967 and how excited my mom was,” said Powell, a University City resident and married father of two daughters. “She was a Jewish refugee from Egypt and their family
was stripped of their property and possessions, and only allowed to leave with one bag. Owning a home in America was a real big deal for my mom, and it was a Realtor who helped make it happen. As a Realtor, I want to Mark Powell help others live the American dream of homeownership.” Powell is vice chair of SDAR’s Political Affairs Committee and a member of SDAR’s Government Affairs Committee. He served on the Educational Services Advisory Committee of the California Association of Realtors as vice chair and chair in 2008 and 2009. u — Mark Powell can be reached at (858) 922-7725, markpowellhomes@hotmail.com or powellbrothersrealty.com
Todd Bloom honored with ‘Five Star’ client-service award
T
odd Bloom of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties has become one of only 60 Realtors in San Diego County to receive San Diego Magazine’s Five Star: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agents Award for eight consecutive years. “I’m very grateful and proud that my clients took the time to voice their approval about the level of support and service I provide,” said Bloom, who is based in the brokerage’s La Jolla office.

Respondents rated their agent on factors including customer service, communication, marketing, integrity, negotiation and overall satisfaction. Bloom has been sharing his knowledge of the complex luxury marketplace for 15 years in the La Jolla area. His understanding
of how to help his clients navigate the complexities of purchasing or selling luxury homes, discretion and professionalism earned him the title of Luxury Properties Specialist for the brokerage’s Luxury Todd Bloom Properties Division. A volunteer with many charities and a founding member of the La Jolla Community Foundation, Bloom is a previous recipient of the McNaught-Davis/Knox Award. The distinction was created to give agents a chance to honor their colleagues for their integrity, community activity, ethics and adherence to the Golden Rule. u — Todd Bloom can be reached at (619) 742-5842 mobile, (858) 551-3385 office or tbloom@bhhscal.com
