Lifeguards: Don’t call 911 for sea lion rescues

Thursday, Feb. 19

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Concerned citizens and visitors to La Jolla’s beaches have been excessively calling 911 to report malnourished and dehydrated sea lion pups, reports San Diego lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky, which is “bogging down the system.” He said leading up to and during President’s Day weekend, beachgoers were calling the police emergency line instead of the SeaWorld rescue hotline at (800) 541-7325. “911 is for true emergency and human being emergency, not animal rescue,” Stropky said, noting a possible reason for the misdirected calls is the worry SeaWorld might not respond. Addressing the concern, SeaWorld spokesperson Dave Koontz said SeaWorld responds to calls for rescues all across San Diego County and has rescued more than 100 sea lions in the last few weeks. Since Jan. 1, more than 200 sea lions have been taken into SeaWorld care. “Some people have called us and we have not been able to respond until a few hours later or even the next day, just due to the volume of animals in need of assistance,” Koontz said.

The sight of malnourished sea lions at La Jolla Cove has prompted numerous 911 calls.

City hiring pinniped expert to manage sea lion situation n Use of drones could be part of the Cove picture BY PAT SHERMAN Although San Diego city officials will not employ the services of the sea lion behaviorist recommended by the group suing over the stench

at La Jolla Cove (from bird and sea lion waste), the city will instead hire another marine mammal expert to assess the sea lion colony at the Cove. According to spokesperson Bill Harris, the city is set to sign a contract for $24,900 with Doyle Hanan & Associations to “study and identify

potential opportunities for changing the behavior or haul-out conditions of the sea lion colony now expanding along the La Jolla coastline,” and file a report with the city. “Our desire is for them to get as much information to us as possible by the end of June so we can make decisions about (the

need for) a more complete study in the fiscal year ahead,” he said. Doyle Hanan was previously employed by the city to survey the harbor seal population at Children’s Pool/Casa Beach.

Disgusting dog doo-doo defaces Village sidewalks TARNISHING OUR JEWEL

or the last several months I can’t help but notice that Eads Avenue sidewalk has officially become doggy poop alley. My husband and I refer to it as “the poop street.” Someone or several individuals allow their dog(s) to poop in the middle of the sidewalk and don’t pick up. Every day I walk my stroller dodging the poop (which has almost always been stepped on and smeared across sidewalk in several places). What is going on? There are new piles every couple of days! Can we get some complimentary doggy poop bags on Eads Avenue? Perhaps a friendly reminder can be installed stating we all enjoy walking in La Jolla and shouldn’t have to dodge large piles of poop or smell it while out for a nice walk. The worst seems to be between Silver and Silverado streets. I took these photos in front of the jiu-jitsu studio (by the bright tile wall) on Eads between Silver and Kline streets. This photo doesn’t even show the really bad piles we’ve seen in the last few months. When it first started happening, I thought it was a one-time thing, like someone didn’t have a bag. However, it continues daily and I’m tired of getting doggy poop on my baby’s stroller! Hope the offender (or offenders) will show some common courtesy to their neighbors and pick up after their dogs! Andrea Auerbach

Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light took this issue right to the top and received this response from City Council President Sherri Lightner’s communications director, Jennifer Kearns: “Technically, leaving pet waste in any area where it could get into the storm drain system (such as a sidewalk near an inlet), and eventually a local waterway, is a violation of Municipal Code §43.0302, as pet waste is considered to be a source of bacteria. “However, it is very difficult to enforce, because to my knowledge, the violator (and their owner) must be caught in the act by an enforcement officer in order to receive a violation. Currently, the city’s Code Enforcement Division does not list pet waste/feces as a priority violation. Imminent safety hazards, etc. are ranked higher; please see sandiego.gov/nccd/about/ enforcement.shtml The city does have a pollution prevention outreach program called Think Blue (thinkblue.org) that addresses these types of issues.” The Light visited thinkblue.org to learn this disturbing fact: Dog poop left on the ground is not a small problem. It is estimated that the typical dog excretes between one half to three quarters of a pound of waste per day. In San Diego alone, there are an estimated 600,000 dogs — that is roughly 136 million pounds of poop per year; and this helpful fact: You can request “Scoop the Poop” lawn signs (for pick up only), by e-mailing a request to:

Residents reported the cinema under construction at 7611 Fay Ave. appeared to be exceeding La Jolla’s 30-foot height limit (as seen at left); following confirmation by the city last week, the theater developer began reducing the project’s height (center). Across the street, Gaines Investment Trust Building (right), built before the 30-foot height limit was implemented, towers over other buildings on Fay Avenue. Pat Sherman

Height hiccup hits Boffo cinemas Fay Avenue complex still on track for late summer opening By Pat Sherman The highly anticipated Boffo cinema complex, “The Lot,” at 7611 Fay Ave. (formerly Jonathan’s Market) is heading toward a possible late summer opening, following a minor setback the project developer was taking steps to correct last week. In January, several people serving on La Jolla’s city advisory groups noted that construction of the exterior walls appeared to be exceeding the allowed height limit. A joint inspection between a City of San Diego senior planner and senior structural inspector on Feb. 9 found the exterior walls of the existing building had been increased

to a non-conforming height. The existing, 30-foot walls were increased by anywhere from 5 to 10 feet in certain areas, city spokesperson Lynda Pfeifer said, via e-mail. “The addition to the existing walls was not shown on the plans and was not permitted,” Pfeifer said, noting that the applicant was instructed to “obtain a traffic control permit to ensure the safety of pedestrians on Fay Avenue prior to removal of the unpermitted walls” and to submit a structural plan change to show any required modifications, and that the existing underground parking garage would not be impacted.

During the Feb. 5 meeting of the La Jolla Community Planning Association, board president Joe LaCava said he spoke with project developer/owner Adolfo Fastlicht and felt he was operating “in good faith,” and the error could have been due, in part, to a height calculation in the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance, or blueprint for development. Fastlicht said it was “a mistake made by the masons and the contractor,” adding that construction is otherwise progressing at a steady pace, despite detecting a considerable amount of asbestos in the building, which he had no prior knowledge of, and which had to be removed. The building is also

being reinforced with steel to meet current code requirements, he said. “We’re chugging along, progressing,” Fastlicht said. “I think the whole community is very excited. … Fortunately, everybody’s been very supportive and we’re excited about that.” During the Feb. 5 LJCPA meeting, trustee Phil Merten suggested the LJCPA board possibly require project applicants to return to the LJCPA to present any changes in their project later approved by the city that expand the its scope. “Sometimes those changes … go way beyond what the community group may have had in mind,” Merten said. u

Planning group hopes for smoother trustee election this year n 14 vying for seven open seats La Jolla Community Planning Association

Who’s Who

n Most notable among this year’s crop of candidates is architect Michael Morton, who ran for a seat on the LJCPA board last year as a write-in candidate, but received the fewest votes and was not elected. The city later opined that, as a new candidate, Morton should have received priority over the termed-out trustees and been elected. The LJCPA declined to follow the city’s strongly-worded advice to seat Morton, leading the city to threaten the LJCPA with decertification. A compromise with the city was

eventually struck and the LJCPA voted to amend its bylaws to allow Morton to fill the five remaining months of the seat he was vying for in March 2014. Morton refused to accept the truncated term, joining Whitney in filing suit against the city on Dec. 5. 2014 (the suit is ongoing). Speaking during this month’s meeting, Morton said he shares “common ground” with many LJCPA members, although parts company with trustees when it comes to his belief in personal property rights. He also said floor-area ratios (FARs) established for residential neighborhoods elsewhere in La Jolla and in San Diego should not be imposed on La Jolla Shores. FARs are defined as the ratio of a size of a structure relative to the size of its lot, and used to control density in residential and commercial development. n Morton’s partner in La Jolla-based Marengo Morton Architects, ClaudeAnthony Marengo, is also seeking a seat on the LJCPA board. Marengo currently serves as president of La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) and previously served on several other LJCPA subcommittees. “I feel like I can handle another task and would really like to come back and assist the group again,” said Marengo, a La Jolla resident of about 45 years. n La Jolla Shores resident Rob Whittemore, who has a longstanding property dispute with Marengo Morton Architects and is an advocate of establishing floor-area ratios for the Shores, was elected to the LJCPA board last year, although he resigned Oct. 29 over

the LJCPA’s vote to offer Morton the fivemonth seat. Whittemore said several people have since asked him to run again. (Six of the open seats are standard three-year terms and the seventh is a two-year term created when Whittemore stepped down). n A piano teacher and resident of 30 years, Sary Frymann said she owns eight cottages on Exchange Place and wants to retain La Jolla’s “old ambiance” and keep development density low. n Glen Rasmussen, an attorney working in land-use and property-related disputes, previously served on the LJCPA and was elected to the Village Merchants Association board last fall. “It takes a tremendous amount of work to sit where these ladies and gentlemen are sitting,” said Rasmussen, a resident of 40 years. “It’s something to be taken seriously, because this board is the outlet for local input on a number of projects.” n Tom Brady, who termed-out from the LJCPA board last year, is seeking another term after a one-year board hiatus required per the LJCPA’s bylaws. He currently serves on La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation and Coastal Access Parking boards. n Born and raised in La Jolla, architect Brian Will, who currently serves on the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review subcommittee, said he wants to assure that development, although inevitable, is “still sensitive to the history here in La Jolla.” n LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson, running for a second term, also serves on the La Jolla Shores Association and La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee. She said she

By Pat Sherman All eyes will be on next month’s annual election of the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA) board of directors, given the controversy that erupted after its 2014 election. A shortage of candidates last year — with four people running for seven open seats — led to nearly 10 months of debate over who was rightly elected, and the threat of the LJCPA losing its legal indemnification and status as La Jolla’s officially recognized advisory group to the city on land-use matters. An election challenge filed last year by the “La Jolla Association” — founded by La Jolla Shores resident Bob Whitney to ensure the city and the LJCPA provide “credible representation” and respect La Jollans’ “individual property rights” — argued that LJCPA trustees should have formed an election committee no later than the first

week of January 2014 to adequately publicize board vacancies and recruit a sufficient number of candidates. The absence of an election committee early on, the challenge contended, allowed two termed-out trustees to run for additional, concurrent terms. Current LJCPA President Joe LaCava, one of the termed-out trustees who ran for a third term last year (and was elected by a majority of voters), noted that to assure an abundance of candidates for this year’s election a committee was formed in November. To avoid further problems, City Council President and LJCPA general member Sherri Lightner (of La Jolla) has also promised better oversight of next month’s election. During the LJCPA’s meeting Feb. 5 at La Jolla Rec Center, 14 candidates running for seven open seats announced their candidacy either in person or by notifying LJCPA Election Committee Chair Cindy Greatrex.

moved to La Jolla with her family in 1961 “when it was a cute little Village.” “It’s changed in many ways — some good and some bad,” Emerson said, noting that her father helped craft the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance, or blueprint for development. n Retired businessman Ed Comartin, a frequent contributor to the dialogue at LJCPA and subcommittee meetings, said he decided to run after hearing the other candidates speak.

“One of the concerns I have is the diversity on this board,” Comartin said. “We have a lot of people who have vested interests in the community, whether it’s architects or … people who represent people trying to do different things architecturally in the community. I think we need more people from the community itself that live here.” n Former LJCPA treasurer Jim Fitzgerald, a 25-year resident and the other termed-out trustee re-elected last year by a wide margin,

stepped down after last year’s election to allow his seat to go to a first-time candidate. Fitzgerald is running again after his required one-year hiatus from the board. “I’m hoping that my record during my years as a trustee was one of fairness and integrity,” he said. “I’d like the privilege of serving on this board again.” n Also on the ballot next month is current trustee Cynthia Bond (who is Whittemore’s fiancée), La Jolla Shores Association and La

Community Center chiefs tout progress on facility, programs La Jolla Town Council

La Jolla Community Center board chair Glen Rasmussen and Community Center executive director Nancy Walters

By Ashley Mackin In its continued effort to be La Jolla’s community melting pot, the Town Council hosted two speakers at its Feb. 12 meeting at the Rec Center, and announced two upcoming community forums. The first presenters informed attendees about upgrades and activities at La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. Executive director Nancy Walters and board of directors chair Glen Rasmussen agreed that in the last six years, “we’ve done very well.” Rasmussen told the group, “We’ve raised three-quarters of a million dollars and put almost all of it into the building. We’ve become energy efficient and all the lights were changed to LED bulbs. We plan to make the center energy independent by putting solar panels on the roof. We’d also like to landscape the front with the help of the community.” The Community Center’s lease with the city is up for renewal, and is being negotiated. With a renewed lease could come extended hours. To offset increasing utility costs, Rasmussen told La Jolla Light the center

might offer additional programming to generate revenue as opposed to increasing the cost of membership. To accommodate the new programming, the center might stay open later, effective when the new lease is signed. Citing the already extensive programming the center offers, including exercise, language and cooking classes, along with cultural events such as its Opera Wednesdays and Fourth Friday jazz series, Walters said the board is always working to better the offerings. “We recently introduced Senior Express (transportation program). Florence Riford left this fund for seniors in La Jolla to provide safe, affordable and convenient transportation,” she said. “We’ve given 450 (door-to-door livery service) rides in the last few months and we’ve given back independence to seniors who can no longer drive. Now they

Welcome, Sima Alefi, new financial advisor for Wells Fargo Advisors With 20 years of experience in the financial industry, I recently transitioned my practice to Wells Fargo Advisors in April of 2014. My previous practice with Edward Jones was located in the Danville, bay area of northern California. As a Financial Advisor, I help manage assets for individuals, trusts, retirement plans, and businesses. I especially enjoy working with women who have been divorced, widowed or recently came into an inheritance. I feel women are often underserved due to Financial Advisors’ lack of understanding of their needs simply by not listening or not being able to relate. As a woman Financial Advisor, I understand the importance of having specific plans for various life events. As a mother of two adults boys, married for 23 years, I understand the juggler role that women have - mom, daughter, caregiver, wife, career. I enjoy educating and empowering clients to take control of their financial future by providing a plan and investment advice. I enjoy helping couples obtain their financial dreams. My extensive experience throughout major shifts in the markets enables me to help my clients structure balanced portfolios to address their specific financial goals.I have earned a degree in Business Management and in addition to several applicable securities registrations, hold an Accredited Asset Management Specialist, AAMS professional designation.

The co-founder of the program is Geoff Griffin, a La Jolla High School graduate and former classmate of Town Council president Steve Haskins. Griffin is now the tennis director at the Balboa Tennis Club, located less than a mile from Naval Medical Center San Diego, where most, if not all, the WWTP participants are patients. “When we started making connections there, we discovered they already had a sports and recreation program for their patients from archery to water sports, but tennis was not one of them,” Kappes said.

Real Es tate TODAY by Janet Douglas

What Do Buyers Want in their Neighborhood? the national association of realtors recently conducted a community preference survey and found out the following information: • 86% of participants felt that privacy from neighbors was very important. • 80% wanted sidewalks and places to take walks. • 74% felt high quality schools were very important. • 69% said walking distance to schools and shops was high on their list. • 68% wanted easy access to a highway. • 66% thought living in a community with people in all stages of life was important, not just seniors, etc. We are lucky to be in the La Jolla area, for our area seems to offer all of these most important neighborhood preferences.

Pinniped expert secured

Harris said the work would help the city determine what steps are necessary for development of a coastal management plan that “focuses on conditions and opportunities in the management of the coastline and its wildlife within the city.” (Last year, City Council President Sherri Lightner unsuccessfully sought $200,000 in city funding for her vision of such a coastal management plan to address the proliferation of marine mammals and seabirds along La Jolla’s coastline.) Harris said the city will continue its application of “Blue Eagle” microbial foam to the bluffs above La Jolla Cove (which digests bird guano), in an effort to further reduce odors. Although the city is still assessing how frequently the bluffs need to be treated, Harris said it would likely step up treatments to twice a month, for the next five months (at $2,000 per application). Harris said a gate leading to the Cove bluffs will remain open and accessible to the public — an access point granted in December 2013 at the request of community members who view human presence on the bluffs as a deterrent to sea lions congregating there.

Doyle Hanan obtained his doctorate degree studying harbor seals. “I’ve spent a lot of time tagging, following … and swabbing seals and sea lions for the last 25 or 30 years,” said Hanan, a retired senior marine biologist supervisor with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Hanan’s company provides sea lion deterrent methods approved under a provision of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which includes use of such things as noise, water jets or low-level electric current, blocking their access with fences, or other means. Before he can determine what might work, Hanan said he must gather baseline information about the colony — something that has been done for the seals at Children’s Pool (which he assisted), but not for the sea lions at La Jolla Cove. “That’s what’s needed before you can determine what might work or might not work … (and) make science-based decisions,” said Hanan last week, speaking with La Jolla Light by phone from Seattle, where he was attending a marine mammal deterrent conference organized by NOAA Fisheries (aka National Marine Fisheries Service). The conference featured nine pinniped experts and other marine mammal scientists speaking about everything from ways to

keep dolphins away from oil spills, to preventing whales from entering heavy fishing areas where they might ingest hooks, or have a fatal collision with the bow of a silently approaching ship. “A lot of times whales don’t even hear them coming,” Hanan said. “It’s a huge topic that people have been working on for the last 10 or 15 years.” Hanan said the conference focused on non-lethal deterrent methods that fit into a category or description of the Marine Mammal Protection Act’s Incidental Harassment Authorization provision. One method of pestering sea lions proposed and discussed during the conference was the use of drones. “Anything new or novel will alert them,” said Hanan, who witnessed people flying drones recreationally at Children’s Pool last summer, which he said definitely disturbed the seals. “When they flew over the seals, they would sometimes flush,” or scurry back into the water. Conversely, he said seals are used to fixed-wing aircraft flying over Children’s Pool, and are largely undisturbed by them. Hanan said drones are just one possible deterrent method scientists and marine mammal experts are studying. “Drones need research,” he stressed. u

La Jolla United Methodist Church Nursery School adds outdoor learning spaces From LJUMCNS Reports

For more than 42 years, La Jolla United Methodist Church Nursery School (LJUMCNS) has provided an early childhood educational program that focuses on playbased and child centered learning. Here, in an incredible oasis in the center of La Jolla, parents and children delight in a curriculum that features art, dramatic play, stories, music, engineering, sand and water play, gardening, and running and climbing amid integrated indoor and outdoor classrooms where students learn by doing and play is their medium for learning. And, as the children grow and flourish, so, too, do the school’s programs and learning environments. From a plot of land, recently transformed into The Community Garden Classroom, where students tend fruit trees and seasonal vegetables and which will soon welcome chicks to nurture, to the Outdoor Studio Classroom and a variety of play areas featuring science corners, an open-air art studio, a “mud kitchen,” fairy gardens, a composting site and engineering opportunities (think student-made gullies and structures), the newly expanded outdoor environments become a natural extension of the indoor classrooms. The harvest from the garden, planted and tended by students, is sold during the

school’s farmers market one Friday each month. All proceeds from the sale of their eggs, fruits and vegetables are then donated to Heifer International (heifer.org), which brings sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty. Donations are made in the form of animals that the LJUMCNS students choose from Heifer’s “catalog” and which are then given to families around the world to help them become self-reliant.

“Part of our teaching here is about giving back,” said Bridget Musante, the school’s executive director. “Not only to one another and our immediate community, but also to those across the globe. Our students take pride in their ability to give and we take great joy in watching their minds grow and their hearts fill with a love for giving. We’re helping conscientious world citizens develop here and we don’t take that lightly — but we do have a lot of fun in the process.”

The school’s non-denominational programming considers the developmental needs of children in physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual growth as an interrelated and continuous process. Programs include a 2-year-old program, which encourages growth of independence and social awareness, sensory exploration and the development of physical and language skills; 3- to 5-year-old program, with an emphasis on learning through play to encourage discovery, independence and social interaction; and the pre-kindergarten program, featuring a curriculum that stimulates children’s skills in core preacademic areas such as literacy, math, science and handwriting. Both part- and full-time flexible schedules have recently been made available to meet a variety of families’ needs. Applications are being accepted for the 20152016 school year and the school maintains a dated wait list for interested parents. Contact LJUMCNS to schedule a tour.

Murfey Home Construction to build Noah Homes for those with disabilities By Marti Gacioch Murfey Home Construction, known for state-of-the-art custom-built homes, remodels and commercial buildings, is now focusing on constructing a residence for people with special needs. The Murfey team — brothers Scott and Russell — will build Noah Homes, two 5,000-square-foot residences designed for people with disabilities on an 11-acre campus in Spring Valley. The Murfeys recently broke ground for the project and construction will start in June. When finished, the project will be home to 70 people with Down Syndrome and cerebral palsy and a support staff of 70. While there has been a home for people with special needs on the property since 1983, the Noah Homes will also provide a residence for people with Alzheimer’s. This will be the first time in California that an assisted-living home for people with special needs will include people with Alzheimer’s. “People with Down Syndrome have a 95-percent chance of developing Alzheimer’s,” Scott Murfey said. “In the past, that meant people with Down Syndrome had to leave the home where they’ve been cared for a long time and move to an Alzheimer’s facility where the staff may not know how to attend to their particular needs, and then their life

long as possible. “We’re working with UCSD and scientists, experts and consultants to build the most user-friendly special needs assisted-living Alzheimer’s clinic in the nation,” Scott

Murfey said. “We’re trying to make it a model we can replicate in different parts of the country. This is an exciting project that we’re very proud of.” A fundraising campaign is underway to help finance Noah Homes, and San Diego County Supervisor Diane Jacobs has been instrumental in helping the drive. “We’re acting as the owners representatives and construction manager of the project — overseeing all the consultants and coordinating all the pre-construction — and then managing the construction,” Scott Murfey said. Murfey Home Construction just completed (and sold) every townhome in their Famosa townhome project in Point Loma, and the new owners take possession of their units this month. The company also recently poured the foundation for a 36-unit apartment building in Hillcrest, on the corner of Washington and Eighth Ave. It is scheduled for completion in early 2016. u n Murfey Construction, Inc., 1571 La Playa Ave., San Diego.

Just the facts, ma’am, about an independent La Jolla Guest Commentary By DALE S. DUFFALA, CHMM Resident of Bird Rock

y way of introduction, I’m an environmental scientist and consultant, with a 38-year career, primarily in the public works arena. I have provided budgetary input at the federal, state, county, municipal and local levels for much of that career. In her Jan. 22, La Jolla Light letter, resident Melinda Merryweather says that I am “… so wrong” to question the feasibility of La Jolla becoming a city independent of San Diego. She then cites the 2005 Initial Fiscal Analysis (IFA) that was prepared Dale Duffala by Richard Berkson, principal in the consulting firm Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. We know that the IFA is no longer valid because the data in it is so old, but since Ms. Merryweather brought it up, let’s take a closer look at it. The IFA presents a budget model that concludes it is fiscally feasible for La Jolla to become an independent city, and projects a budget surplus of $5.2 million at the end of the first full year of operation. The cost side of the budget model contains dollar figures obtained from the City of San Diego that represent the amount spent by the city on La Jolla for each line item. If the proponents of an independent city aren’t satisfied with the level of services provided by San Diego, than each of those dollar amounts, on their face, are too low. Additionally, the cost side of that budget model

does not contain several significant cost items, such as the following. n Capital Costs: There are no costs for desks, phones, computers, radios, tools, vehicles, office space, or hundreds of other items needed for the day-to-day operation of a city. What are the proponents going to do – run the new city from their kitchens? These items won’t eliminate the projected surplus on their own, but will be a significant cost. n Contract Costs: Costs associated with services that will be contracted back to San Diego, such as police, fire, street sweeping, lifeguards and others, are not fully included. Only the administrative costs to the new city for these items are figured into the IFA. It is easy to foresee situations where these costs by themselves could deplete the projected surplus. n Utility Underground Projects: While these may have come about after the 2005 IFA was prepared, there are currently more than $100 million worth of utility undergrounding projects on the books for La Jolla, but for which no money has yet been allocated. Where will this money come from? This item alone could use up the projected surplus. n Infrastructure Costs: The IFA includes $2.1 million per year for road maintenance. We already know that one section of one project on Torrey Pines Road required an additional $2.5 million to complete. The entire Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project was estimated to cost $25 million! Where would this money come from? The Jan. 15 La Jolla Light contained a La Jolla infrastructure priority list of projects from the La Jolla Community Planning Association, which were not considered in the IFA. The public must realize how expensive

Cove Stench Calendar

infrastructure projects can be, and all one needs to do is drive around La Jolla to see, and feel, the condition of many streets and roads. If the Independent La Jolla group can really fix potholes for $8 apiece, I’ve got a shovel they can borrow. But our local infrastructure repairs entail a lot more than just filling potholes. That projected surplus is looking less and less viable now, isn’t it? n Community Groups: There were no costs included for community groups, such as the Bird Rock Community Council, La Jolla Shores Association, and the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association. Each of these entities receives money from San Diego, and also apply for additional grant money. This item needs to be included in the budget model. I discussed these cost items with Mr. Berkson, and he agreed that the Comprehensive Fiscal Analysis should include them. So, when, and if, Independent La Jolla can raise the money to hire a consultant to prepare the required Comprehensive Fiscal Analysis, the consultant needs to provide us with accurate, realistic, complete, and valid financial data that truly represents the cost of starting up and running a city. Any projected surplus resulting from the new analysis must be a lot larger than the $5.2 million projected in 2005. The above cost items provide the basis for my concerns about the feasibility of becoming independent. But, let’s get a realistic analysis and see what the dollars tell us. As a scientist, I want to see hard data, and emotional arguments, or comparisons to Del Mar, won’t take that data’s place. As Tom Cruise said in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire, “Show me the money!” Then we’ll see how “wrong” I really might be. u

One of the people told me that she called police the night prior to alert them that a party was going on at the beach and apparently nothing was done. Subsequently, as these people were picking up the garbage, one of the people, Diana, a sweet lady I’ve met before several times with two very small dogs, received a $600 ticket for letting her dogs off-leash while she picked up the garbage. I’m not trying to influence the policies at the park, I’m merely suggesting that funds might be better appropriated to discourage people from trashing the beach. Many of the plastic containers we weren’t able to pick up this morning before the tide came in surely ended up in the ocean and this is of more concern than two small harmless dogs running around while their elderly owner picks up the trash. I sent this message to city council rep Justin Garver, but I thought it might help to share this story with another source. Patrick Christensen

Relocate sea lions to islands north of La Jolla I’ve spent the last 48 years at La Jolla beaches, and still swim regularly at the Cove. Locals all know that there were not many (if any) sea lions on the beaches about 10 years ago. They were on the rocks, although there were not nearly as many, maybe one fourth the amount, at most. I believe the best answer to fixing this dilemma is to relocate most of the sea lions to an area that has more food, yet similar to the feeding grounds in La Jolla. I’ve spent time at San Clemente Island and noticed

Empty liquor bottles and cans were left on Marine Street Beach along with plastic bags full of trash last week. many similarities in the habitat there. There has always been much more of the same fish species in the kelp beds, and there has been an abundance of bait fish not far off shore there for many years. The kelp beds are also the same macrocystis pyrifera species as in La Jolla, and have been growing prolifically for years. Some areas of Catalina would be good for sea lions, as well. Both islands have many untouched areas away from humans where sea lions would be more comfortable. Me and the many other swimmers who swim miles every day from sun-up to sundown at the Cove would be more comfortable without the sea lions there. I’ve been charged by huge bull sea lions as I swam, which I assume were attempting to mate. Also, the swimmers and tourists who come to snorkel and dive at the Cove would be more comfortable not having the huge amounts of fowl-smelling sea lion feces and afterbirth that wash off the rocks into the water. There must be more than 1,000 people there on a summer day. The Children’s Pool rarely ever has that many people on the beach. The only other answer is that the Great Whites will soon be here in larger quantities to eat their favorite food, the sea lions, and maybe a few humans … SeaWorld would be a great choice for catching and releasing the sea lions.

Inn not responsible for milky fluid in gutter Let me start by saying I very much enjoy

reading your newspaper each week. I was surprised, however, when my property was mentioned by name in your Tarnishing Our Jewel article Feb. 12 “appearing to have been flowing down from Fay Avenue at a source near the Best Western Plus Inn by the Sea at 7830 Fay Ave.” I hope that once the city has completed its investigation, you will print an article that clears up the misnomer that the hotel may be somehow responsible. On a more positive note, we are nearing completion of our guestroom and public area renovation, and invite you to take a look at how we are polishing our portion of The Jewel.

More facts about athlete head trauma In response to the article by Pat Sherman on high school athlete head trauma in the Feb. 5 issue, here are a few editorial issues: n There’s still a tendency to label concussions as “mild” or “severe,” which we have abandoned. n No helmet has been shown to prevent concussions despite claims to the contrary. n There is no evidence that confirms CTE is solely caused by concussions. Think about how many NFL players do NOT get CTE despite multiple concussions. So much needs to still be studied with this, but the importance of proper concussion management is imperative. n Baseline testing is very useful but I totally

Update on vaccination rate at Gillispie School In the Feb. 5 edition of the La Jolla Light, The Gillispie School was listed as having 74 percent (23 out of 31) of kindergarteners up to date on their vaccinations. In actuality, 91 percent (29 out of 32) of kindergarteners are current in all their vaccinations. The website mentioned in the article was using data last updated by San Diego County as of Oct. 15, 2014.

“But if you call us, we get the information directly and in a more timely fashion (as opposed to calling 911),” Koontz said. Characterizing the situation as “intense,” Koontz said pups born last summer are now malnourished because they’re having difficulty accessing food sources since weaning from their mothers. He said pups being rescued, at six to seven months old, are barely above their birth weight. “It’s not a question of how quickly we want to get to where the animal is, it’s a question of the number of animals we’re having to assist,” he said. As a word of caution, Koontz said even if the animals appear to be in a compromised state, humans should maintain a safe distance from them. “Do not approach these animals,” he said. “They are still wild animals and it could be a dangerous situation.” u

From Town Council, A8 “So they were happy to strike a partnership with us. In late 2009, we started bringing patients from Navy Medical to Balboa Tennis Club twice a month for hourlong tennis clinics, followed by lunch prepared by volunteers.” Each month, there have been 12-25 participants with varying degrees of ability. “When you use the term wounded, ill or injured, people get a certain image in their minds of what that kind of person looks like. I can tell you, we have a broad spectrum of people who participate in our program,” he said. “We have some who are wheelchair users, upper and lower body amputees who use prosthetics, and we have quite a few who do not have physical disabilities, but they’re dealing with things like traumatic brain injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.” Participation is not limited by age, with some participants in their early 20s and others veterans of the Vietnam War. “We are

not trying to turn these folks into high-level tennis players; we’re trying to give them an outlet and a means to connect to their local community,” Kappes said. More at (619) 299-8647 or sdwoundedwarriortennis.org

Upcoming Town Council forums LJTC president Haskins said the council would soon host a forum on homelessness with details announced as they become available. Additionally, following its success with the inaugural “State of La Jolla” event in January, another “State of” event is planned for April or May. “In the future, we will have three more; an arts and culture (State of La Jolla) that will include La Jolla Historical Society, museums, and other art organizations; another regarding education that will involve the schools; and another for charitable organizations and churches,” Haskins said. u n La Jolla Town Council next meets 5 p.m. Thursday, March 12 at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollatowncouncil.org

BOYS SOCCER: La Jolla High School Vikings 3, Madison High School Warhawks 1

Vikings squeak by Warhawks, in varsity soccer play By Kyle Loomis he La Jolla High Vikings boys soccer team held their lead against the Madison High Warhawks Feb. 12 to win 3-1 at Edwards Field. They built the early lead with a couple of first-half goals, but had to remain tough against an opponent that would not go down quietly. Madison played with more energy than La Jolla in the second half, and scored to cut the Vikings’ lead to 2-1. It was a game situation first-year coach Marcos Gonzalez warned players about at halftime, telling his team that the complacency that comes with a lead is dangerous. “If you’re not focused, they can come right back and score a goal and make it 2-1, and then have them pressure us again,” he said. Coach Gonzalez’s words proved prophetic midway through the second half, when Madison scored its first and only goal of the game on a header in the box by senior Farouk Essaoussi. Suddenly up by only one goal, La Jolla needed to re-establish a sense of urgency, something Gonzalez has been preaching all season. A point of focus with the Vikings has been “finishing the game hard,” Gonzalez said. After sophomore Lukas Keeling scored the game’s final goal minutes after Essaoussi’s header, victory seemed at hand. It was Keeling’s second goal of the game.

Sophomore Lukas Keeling

Senior Ole Cassidy

The first had been the result of a well-placed low cross by teammate Ole Cassidy in the first half. The pass went off Keeling’s left foot and into the net. The textbook execution was the result of practice reps and chemistry between the two players. “I just know that if it’s open, Ole will cross it low to me on the back post, so I just ran there,” said Keeling. Keeling’s two goals seemed inevitable considering the first half was dominated by a relentless offensive. Much of the half was played in the Vikings’ attacking third of the field. There

was an additional barrage of shots by the home team to conclude the half, but the majority became missed opportunities. Gonzalez pointed out there were a lot of missed shots during the game, and his team could ill afford to repeat that trend if they want to beat division rivals Cathedral Catholic High School and Point Loma High School next week. Both teams are ahead of La Jolla in the division standings. The Vikings sit at 1-3-2 in the Western League (5-8-3 overall). Point Loma (3-2-1 Western League, 6-7-7 overall) is within striking distance, whereas

Cathedral Catholic (4-1-1 Western League, 13-3-5 overall) sits atop the division. The Vikings play the first place Dons at Cathedral Catholic Feb. 17. The Point Loma High Pointers will visit La Jolla for the final game of the regular season Feb. 19. Gonzalez said if his team can tie or win against Point Loma in their final game, they could participate in the postseason. “La Jolla hasn’t gone to a playoffs in years,” said Gonzalez, and since he is an alum, the achievement would carry extra meaning. “Coaching for La Jolla High is very important to me,” Gonzalez said. u

La Jolla couple chairs Planned Parenthood’s annual dinner benefit

ot every MIT and Harvard-educated biotechnology executive is also a professional photographer featured at two La Jolla galleries. And not every attorney is a competitive triathlete who has represented the U.S. Team at the World Championship four times. But there’s nothing typical about Bill and Marisa Rastetter, residents of La Jolla (and Rancho Santa Fe) who were selected to chair Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest’s 52nd Anniversary Dinner, 5:308:30 p.m. Tuesday April 7 at the Hilton Bayfront in San Diego. The event regularly draws more than 1,500 supporters. “When we were asked to serve as event chairs, we were delighted and honored,” said the Rastetters. “Planned Parenthood has provided quality reproductive health care for generations of San Diego women and men, including many individuals in underserved communities.” This year’s speaker will be New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig, who will discuss his book “Birth of the Pill: How Four Crusaders Reinvented Sex and Launched a Revolution.” Dinner tickets, priced from $175, are available at plannedparenthood.org Bill focuses on making and growing investments in biotechnology. He serves as chairman of four San Diego companies: Illumina, Neurocrine Biosciences, Receptos, and Fate Therapeutics. He also serves as the lead outside director for Cerulean, as well as serving on the board of directors of Regulus and as an advisor to Leerink Partners, a healthcare-focused investment bank. He retired in 2005 from Biogen Idec, where he was most recently executive chairman. He joined Idec Pharmaceuticals at its founding in 1986 and grew it to a multi-billion-dollar

Speaker In Reverse band plays it ‘Natural’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Kaitlin Freeberg San Diego indie-pop band Speaker In Reverse released its newest single, “Natural.” The band was founded by Itai Faierman (vocals, guitar, keyboard) and Shae Moseley (drums, vocals). Faierman works as a special education teacher at La Jolla Elementary School, while Moseley is a business development manager in San Diego. The two met a few years ago when Moseley auditioned for a band Faierman was in. While it didn’t work out at the time, both Faierman and Moseley felt they connected musically. A few months later, they were playing in Moseley’s garage. With no real direction to start, they experimented sonically. Moseley brought in a Home Depot bucket, just to play with the sound it might make as a drum. “We were listening to this band alt-J at the time,” Faierman said. “The choices they make musically are what I wanted our foundation to be like. I wanted the space in the music to be as important as the notes.” Jeff Grasmick (piano, keyboard, drums) came on a few months later. Over time, the band added three more people — Sara Schairer, Mason Farnsworth and Rick Newton — for a total of six band members. Faierman and Moseley agreed it can be a challenge to have such a big group, but said they feel lucky to have found members who are responsible and creative. “They want to be involved with the arrangements of the songs and put their stamp on it,” Moseley said. The band is recording two new songs

Members of Speaker In Reverse include Shae Moseley, Itai Faierman, Sara Schairer, Mason Farnsworth, Rick Newton and Jeff Grasmick. Courtesy with Christopher Hoffee, owner of Chaos Recorders in Escondido. Hoffee lives in a historic home built in the early 1900s, which he has dual purposed into a recording studio, Moseley said. “We try to track as much as we can just playing live out in his living room. It’s a great sounding room with wood floors and it has a really great vibe,” Moseley said. Hoffee shares the bands’ attitude that music should not be forced and imperfections should exist. Speaker In Reverse is not focused on pinpoint accuracy, the band wants its music to sound like humans, not

computers, made it, Moseley said. “I really see (Hoffee) as a seventh member in that sense, we are right on the same wavelength,” Faierman said. When they perform, they make it a special event. Bandmate Schairer (vocals) started her own nonprofit, Compassion It, to raise awareness for kindness and mindfulness. Speaker In Reverse held one show as a fundraiser for the organization. “I love it, I would like to do it for every show. It’s about sharing the music. If you can, why not do it,” Faierman said. As of now, Speaker In Reverse has recorded

six songs and released four of them. Moseley said in May or June the band will go back to Chaos Recorders and record two more songs, keeping with their plan to only give listeners a little bit of content at a time. “I always feel accomplished when we get done with something because I feel like it’s us, it’s not forced at all. The idea of being present and in the moment, you get a product that you can be proud of,” Moseley said. Next on the horizon, Faierman said he would like to start playing more shows outside the San Diego area, reaching Los Angeles, Las Vegas and someday the South by Southwest music festival. “I think about wanting it to be something that people will connect with … if that’s 100 people who come to our show in South Park at the Whistle Stop, then that’s awesome. If it was 100,000 people who bought our album, then that would be unbelievable to think it resonated with that many people,” Moseley said. u

‘Love, Loss, and What I Wore’ Ephron sisters’ hit comes to the Lyceum Theatre stage By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt f you’re looking for a great girls’ night out, this could be it. For four weeks only, starting Feb. 25, “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” will be at Horton Plaza’s Lyceum Theatre. This intimate collection of 28 funny and touching storiesturned-into-a-play by the late, great writer/director Nora Ephron (best-known for rom-com movie mega-hits like “When Harry Met Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle”) and her equally comedic writer/ sister, Delia, has been wowing audiences from New York to Buenos Aires, Sydney, Johannesburg and Manila since 2009. Based on the slim 1995 bestseller by Ilene Beckerman, the show is a set of monologues that first came to life in 2008 at a small playhouse in the Hamptons. Six months later, it went on to a series of readings off-off Broadway, as a benefit for Dress For Success, a charitable organization that helps underprivileged women get into the work force by supplying them with the right clothes to wear. From there, it was just a short step to off-Broadway’s Westside

The five players who share wardrobe memories in ‘Love, Loss, and What I Wore’ are Melinda Gilb, Deanna Driscoll, Jacole Kitchen, Elsa Martinez and Rachael VanWormer.

children, to let them see something of who she was before she was their mom. A friend of a friend saw it, and decided to publish it; female readers around the country took it to heart, and passed it along to their friends.

One of the readers was Nora Ephron, who bought several copies and spoke to her sister about turning it into a play. They contacted 100 or so of their BFFs and collected more wardrobe memories to plump up the show. They even added a monologue adapted from Nora’s little book about aging, “I Feel Bad About My Neck.” From the earliest readings (since the Ephron sisters were very well connected), the play’s cast of five has featured some of the top names in show biz, like Rosie O’Donnell, Tyne Daly, Marlo Thomas and Brooke Shields. The San Diego production includes five lesser-known, local actresses, but is sure to be a crowdpleaser all the same. It’s not about the performers, really, or even the clothes; it’s about the experiences they bring back to mind, bits of story that women all over the world can identify with. u n IF YOU GO: “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” runs WednesdaySunday Feb. 25-March 22 at Lyceum Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego.

Early worship spaces

This rich history has not kept the church from looking forward, however. Throughout its history, both locally and nationally, it has been at the forefront of social change. “We are unique in that we are traditional in our sense of worship, but progressive in thought,” Rev. Sam Greening, pastor, said. “All people are welcome here, but this is not new for us. The church has stood up for hundreds of years, led society in the direction to change,” he continued. It was the first to ordain a black minister (in 1875), to ordain a woman (in 1853) and an openly gay pastor (in 1972), and among the first to endorse marriage equality. Rev. Greening describes his church in an “Open & Affirming Statement,” part of which reads: “We open our church doors to the full diversity of humankind in God’s glorious creation, warmly embracing all differences in age, race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, mental and physical ability, ethnic and cultural identity, religious background, educational level, and socioeconomic status.” The church is part of the United Church of Christ (UCC), formed in 1957 when Congregational Christians joined with the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Today there are approximately 5,000 UCC churches in the United States. “In keeping with our heritage, we have no required statement of faith, but we are bound by a covenant,” Rev, Greening said. “The UCC speaks to the congregation, but each church stands on its own.” The

The first Congregationalists to worship in La Jolla gathered together with Episcopalians and Presbyterians above a store on Girard Avenue in 1889. A few years later, in 1897, they purchased a building at the corner of Herschel Avenue and Wall Street and officially incorporated as La Jolla Union Congregational Church (still the church’s legal name). In 1915, the building burned down. By then, the Presbyterians and Episcopalians had moved on and the Congregationalists purchased their current property at Cave Street and Ivanhoe Avenue. They hired architect Carleton Winslow to design a new church, which opened its doors in 1916. Winslow designed many of the buildings for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park. Since then, the Spanish Mission-style building has been renovated several times, including the addition of a pipe organ in 1926 and stained glass windows in the late 1950s. (On one side of the sanctuary, the windows depict scenes from the Old Testament and on the other, scenes from the life of Christ.) In more recent years, the church has rebuilt its inner courtyard and Fellowship Hall and installed a commercial kitchen. In addition to hosting social events throughout the year, the church rents its facilities out for such events as weddings, parties, 12-step meetings and yoga classes. The church’s regular services include Sunday worship and school at 10:30 a.m., followed by a coffee hour, and on fifth Sundays, a potluck.

Architect Carleton Winslow designed the Congregational Church.

Rev. Sam Greening, pastor

Congregational Church of La Jolla adopted its current covenant in 2010. It is repeated during the first Sunday service in February and at baptisms, and reads: “We covenant with God and with one another, promising to join together in worship and the celebration of the sacraments, in the study of the scriptures, in sharing the

good news with one another and the world around us, in joining in the struggle for justice for the whole human family, and in welcoming into our midst all who seek God and community, that the love of God, the grace of Jesus Christ, and the communion of the Holy Spirit may be known and acknowledged in the life of our congregation.”

Kitchen Shrink Catharine L. Kaufman

Going nuts over pistachios

ne of my favorite childhood pastimes was to sit at the kitchen table and crack open a mound of salty, red-dyed pistachio nuts, making two piles — the shells and the nut “meat.” I would then pop a handful of the shelled nuts into my mouth, and relish the fruits of my labor. Unfortunately, afterward I would have to scrub my scarlet-stained fingertips clean. I recall our family was invited to a friend’s holiday party, and my mom bought a box of those scrumptious red pistachios for the hostess. She warned me not to touch them, as they were a gift. Not able to resist those savory morsels, I carefully untied the bow, snuck a few, then retied the ribbon. As we were leaving for the party, mom shook the box and asked me if I had sampled the nuts. When I denied it, she told me to hold up my hands, and the evidence was indisputable — caught “redhanded” with crimson-colored fingers. Today pistachios have made a healthy comeback, au naturel without any incriminating dyes that were originally used to camouflage unappetizing blemishes and splotches on the shells from crude harvesting techniques in the Middle East before they were exported to the

United States and other countries. Going strong with spokesperson Stephen Colbert personifying the flavorful nut, and a national day designated to celebrate this green powerhouse (Feb. 26), here’s why you should pistachio up! Nutritional profile in a nutshell: One ounce of potent pistachios, comprising about 49 kernels and a mere 160 calories (mostly from unsaturated fats) has a load of fiber and minerals, including copper for optimal functioning of the heart and arteries, along with red blood cell production, manganese and phosphorous for healthy bones and connective tissues, and potassium for fluid balance.

Oliver’s six photographs in the show feature birds in La Jolla, Santee Lakes, Lake Hodges and New Mexico. Since taking up photography, Oliver has been drawn to nature shots. “Nature has been my No. 1 interest and I got interested in birds while trying to get a good pelican shot.” In addition to appearing in exhibits, his images have been on the cover of Wild Bird magazine and on display at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Oliver also enjoys sharing the joys of photography with others. He has taught classes at theNAT and recently a class in iPhone photography at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla. A big fan of iPhone photography, he likes to help others “share their vision of the world.” He said he has moved away from hauling around various models of Canon cameras and big lenses and now uses his iPhone 98 percent of the time. He teaches his students how to create works of art and albums using various mobile phone apps and has produced his own series of books called “Zen I-A Photographic Journey,” “Zen II,” “Zen III-Japan” and “Zen IV-Windansea.” Their purpose is to promote inner peace. Oliver’s other main passion is helping people stay healthy. At SDSU, he earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing, and then went on to earn a doctorate in chiropractic medicine. He runs an integrative healthcare center on Moraga Avenue in San Diego, The Center for Balance, with regular workshops on holistic nutrition, food allergies and stress. He also lectures to groups and corporations around the world. His “Stop Stress NOW” class features proper breathing, eating and power napping techniques. His other popular two-hour class is called “Empowered Walking – the antidote to Sad Saggy Butt Syndrome.” A former surfer, Oliver has also shaped thousands of surfboards and holds one of the few patents for surfboard design in the United States.

North Coast Repertory Theatre

Life is a journey of beginnings in Neil Simon’s ‘Chapter Two’ By Diana Saenger he first play ever staged at North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) has a long history of success. “Chapter Two,” by American playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon, returns to the stage with NCRT’s artistic director David Ellenstein and Christopher Williams codirecting. Ellenstein also portrays the lead character, recently widowed writer George Schneider. “It was No. 1 even back then in 1982,” said Ellenstein, who was not at NCRT at that time. “It opened on Broadway in 1978. I always liked it and when I looked at it again, recently, I liked it even more. My only experience with Neil Simon was a role I had in ‘Broadway Bound,’ during the first regional production, and then I did it again in San Diego at the Gaslamp Quarter Theatre Company.” “Chapter Two,” like many of Simon’s plays, is based on events in his own life. It’s a comedy about a recent widower (George), who connects with his neighbor, Jennie, who is recently divorced. It was written as a tribute to actress Marsha Mason, Simon’s second wife, and her tolerance with his longlasting grief over the death of his first wife. When NCRT’s Andrew Barnicle suggested Ellenstein play George, Ellenstein said he couldn’t do it because he had to direct. “But my staff wanted me to do it, and

David Ellenstein (as George Schneider) and Jackie Ritz (as Jennie Malone) rehearse for ‘Chapter Two,’ at the North Coast Repertory Theatre. Aaron Rumley this will be the fourth time I’ll be getting on stage as an actor at the North Coast Rep. I like to do that once in a while,” Ellenstein said. “I checked to see if Chris Williams was available because he keeps a really good eye on me and gives me the right feedback. (Since he was), I decided to do it.” Ellenstein said the other three actors in the

show — Jackie Ritz, Louis Lotorto and Mahri Sandoval — have been standouts in their performances, so he chose them, too. Directing and starring in the same play is challenging, Ellenstein admitted. “While acting, I can’t help but get distracted by the design, costumes or what the other actors are doing,” he said. “But we all talked

things out at the first meeting, and it has only been a problem for me to focus on being an actor, when I’m an actor.” Simon loads his plays with emotion, and “Chapter Two,” is no different. It’s funny, whimsical, lovely, touching, romantic, snappy, moving etc., so how does a director draw all that out of his actors? “You have to start with the reality of the situation,” Ellenstein said. “Since this is autobiographical about courtship and marriage, there’s a reality to it; we have to find out what’s really going on with these people. The lines are very funny, so we don’t have to worry so much about making them funny, just delivering them honestly in the situation. My character, George, is depressed and in mourning and to work through that he meets a woman who is going to be an important part of his life. Yet he struggles with it being OK to move on. That’s why it’s called ‘Chapter Two.’ ” He added that the show has multigenerational appeal. “It’s about people falling in love, loss — the jokes still make sense. It’s a good play that will entertain everyone.” u n IF YOU GO: “Chapter Two” runs Feb. 25-March 22 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Comedy art exhibit won’t leave ’em laughin’

700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. It’s a zany look at contemporary performance art that has been influenced by standup comedy. The curators attempt to point out a blurring of genres between live comedy and performance art by presenting a survey of work from some of the currently important protagonists.

penis outfit telling dumb jokes to kids. You can count on being offended a little with obscenities, dirty jokes and drawings of sexual orgasm, but don’t count on being taken to a very deep level of truly funny social commentary, as you might be in viewing an old George Carlin routine about the foibles of American society on YouTube. The curators produced a colorful brochure to accompany the show, which contains a high-minded theoretical overview that is a challenge to get through. The brochure features a colorful cover of one of Sara Greenberger Rafferty’s appropriated photographs of a comedian she artifys with running colors. It makes the person in the photo look like they

UCSD visual arts professor Amy Alexander, on hand for the show, described it as having “a lot of variety ... a good range of work.” The exhibition is pleasantly and spaciously presented and offers plenty of opportunities to sit down in a comfortable chair or on a stool and watch a comedy video, which is the show’s high suit. But I found most of the show to be silly and absurd, and a bit stupid, just like most contemporary performance art and standup comedy. For example, there is a video of comedian Tammy Rae Carland playing out her routine with a towel (sometimes a mop head) covering her face, and another of Stanya Kahn walking around a Los Angeles suburb in a giant

10 Ways to Spruce up your Curb appeal As the saying goes, you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression. This is also true when selling your house. The first interaction a potential buyer has with your home is pulling up to the curb. Or maybe it has just been too long since you’ve upgraded your home’s exterior and now it’s time for a facelift. Either way, here are ten ways in which you can ensure your home’s curb appeal is one that impresses. 1. Update paint, siding, and trim – This is the biggest way in which you can

give your home its most dramatic visual transformation. First, repair any cracked, damaged or rotting material, and then think about a fresh, new color, trim accents, and other details that can make your house really stand out and look new and well kept. 2. Consider adding stone – The natural, classic look of stone veneer is timeless and immediately upgrades a home’s appearance. Many people might shy away from stone because of the cost, but whatever your budget, there are affordable options to adding stone accents. 3. Replace old hardware – This includes items such as your door lockset, your wall-mounted mailbox if you have one, and your address numbers. First off, be sure the numbers are clearly visible from the street. Also, it goes a long way in making you home look put together if the hardware all matches and compliments the exterior rather than appearing like old mismatched pieces.

4. Replace rain gutters and downspouts – Many people often overlook this aspect of their home’s exterior, but an old, cracked and faded gutter system can undo all that work you did with new paint or siding. Brand new rain gutters will convey a sense of a well-maintained house, and not one of neglect. 5. Upgrade railings – Oftentimes your wood or metal porch railings can take a hit from the weather. But just as you want to pay attention to details such as hardware and gutters, be sure to update the railings as well. They can also be another source of color or material accent that compliment the main face of the home. 6. Refresh landscaping – A beautiful home exterior is only half the look, however. You want to be sure your yard has the same amount of pop. Adding new gardens and flower beds will make your home more welcoming while adding splashes of color. Just be cautious that you

are accenting your home’s exterior and not obscuring it. Also, be careful to keep these areas well maintained and free of weeds, children’s toys, gardening equipment, etc. You might also want to consider some form of outdoor art. While you don’t want to get carried away with this, a simple natural accent piece (birdbath, wind chimes, etc) or a water feature can really add to the overall look. 7. Outdoor lighting – Lighting is a critical element in that it makes your home appear welcoming in the evening as well. Whether you are lighting a walkway to the front door or accenting trees, house features, or address numbers, appropriate outdoor lighting will ensure that your house is always exuding a safe and inviting personality.

‘The Alchemy of Comedy ... Stupid’ is a nine-channel video installation by Edgar Arceneaux. have an extra bad case of runny nose. The brochure depicts the show as a rigorous attempt to define a new development in the arts, but the subject matter they so adroitly wrestle remains insipid. It makes you wonder if the days of the great comedians are in the past … the days of people like Carlin, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Don Rickles, Rich Little, and television shows like “Laugh-In,” “The Smothers Brothers,” and “Saturday Night Live.” Comparing the new performance-style comedians, which the curators classify as signifying a new “renaissance,” to the old funny men is like comparing the old “Saturday Night Live,” when it featured John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, The Cone Heads, Two Wild ‘n’ Crazy Guys from Czechoslovakia, and Father Guido Sarducci, with the current SNL. There is no comparison. The old show was great, the new one is one big disappointment and makes you think that maybe nothing is funny anymore ... or maybe it’s just that people will laugh at anything these days. For example, take MCASD’s new “renaissance” piece that consists of a couple of white aluminum floor sculptures made of super-sized wadded up crumpled sheets of paper by Scott Reeder, which the curators call “wry symbols” of artistic frustration. So dumb! Or the large photograph of AsianAmerican comedian Tim Lee in a Steve Martin look-alike pose strumming a banjo with an arrow through his head. That’s

Another is the eye-catching feminist video by Chan & Mann that features a simplistic painting of two topless women at a table with cutout heads, enabling their real faces to pop through and talk. The exhibit would have been better if it actually presented video clips of Bruce, Carlin, and Pryor, and the early days of TV comedy, instead of just the nod given these greats by new performance people. u
