3.1 million-gallon tank to supplant 720,000-gallon tank in La Jolla Natural Park By Ashley Mackin Plans to demolish and replace the La Jolla View Reservoir, found in La Jolla Natural Park, are moving forward, with an expected start date of October 2016. La La Jolla Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB) Parks and advisory Beaches group heard an updated presentation on the project during its Feb. 23 meeting. Leading up to the start of construction, an open house to review the project details is planned for August and a LJPB subcommittee is forming to keep track of changes and updates. The existing 720,000-gallon above ground La Jolla View Reservoir was built in 1949. See Reservoir Tank, A4

Work begins to remove vegetation and lower the fence along Torrey Pines Road at Amalfi Drive to return La Jolla’s world-class ocean views to the public. Ashley Mackin

fter years of requests from the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory board (chiefly member Melinda Merryweather), the City of San Diego began removing the thick vegetation from a fence along the west side of Torrey Pines Road at Amalfi Drive and at Prospect Place to reveal ocean views long blocked by shrubbery. Work will continue for several weeks and include removing the existing fence and replacing it with a lower one, so the greenery can’t grow back. Merryweather said it has taken her 20 years of requests to opened the view. “I’m so delighted this is

finally happening and we get our beautiful ocean view again,” she said. “For those residents who think they can’t make a difference in the community, this is a lesson that if they have time and persistence, they can make a difference.” Merryweather also said she’d like to establish a project similar to the “Adopt-A-Highway” program and call it the “Adopt-A-View” program, so those who would like to volunteer and maintain the views (by managing the vegetation) could do so. u — Ashley Mackin

Parking board to explore ‘Frustration of Purpose’ By Ashley Mackin La Jolla’s Coastal Access & Parking Board (CAPB), the team tasked with implementing an obsolete plan to get a Village shuttle service started to ease traffic congestion, may have found a solution out of its conundrum in a legal doctrine known as Frustration of Purpose. Although only an idea at this time, the board announced at its March 3 meeting, it is one they are willing to explore. Attorney Glen Rasmussen, who offered the idea, explained, “The basic premise for a Frustration of Purpose is if you make a contract to do something and the purpose becomes moot (or impossible to be performed) then the consideration for the contract fails.” In CAPB’s case, the purpose was to use the $275,000 collected from developer fees in the 1970s and ’80s, to implement a shuttle and off-site

Attorney Glen Rasmussen suggests solution to free up funds earmarked for obsolete Village shuttle plan parking reservoir. However, the board deemed the shuttle “unsustainable,” and the land for the reservoir has since been developed. Nevertheless, the city is withholding the funds until the program can be implemented. To apply for a Frustration of Purpose, Rasmussen said the board must come up with an alternative plan, one that accomplishes the same goal of the original plan (to make Village parking spaces available and reduce traffic from people circling slowly looking for

parking), and present it to the state attorney general. “It would free up a substantial amount of money that this committee could use as seed money to open up some parking,” said CAPB chair Deborah Marengo. CAPB has already explored alternatives they feel meet the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding that governs the plan, and presented them to the city and the California Coastal Commission to no avail. None of the ideas presented were

considered close enough to the original terms to be implemented. “The city is not going to work with us and the Coastal Commission is not going to work with us. If we go through with this — the state would tell the Coastal Commission how this will be handled,” Marengo said. In the next few months, the board will research whether its situation qualifies for a Frustration of Purpose and Marengo said she would be willing to work with a law student looking for internship work. “There is a lot of research that needs to be done before we, as a committee, decide we want to bring this forward,” she said. To this end, Marengo moved to hold CAPB meetings quarterly instead of monthly. The next meeting will be 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 2 at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org/cap.html u

Checkmate!

La Jolla boys are chess champs after only months of play By Ashley Mackin a Jolla Elementary School students Jack and James Kinsey took first and third place respectively in the beginner division of the March 1 Mountain Lakes Chess Academy Chess tournament in Clairemont Mesa. More than 100 children participated, but the Kinsey boys endured, winning match after match in the five-and-a-half-hour event. Dads Kurt Kinsey and Jason IuliKinsey of La Jolla both said they are proud of their sons’ accomplishments, considering they just started playing chess in August 2014. Eight-year-old Jack said, “At first I thought chess was hard, and I wanted to master a hard game,” so he joined the school chess club (though having friends in the club didn’t hurt either). Six-year-old James soon followed. Before long, they were developing strategies and methods. Iuli-Kinsey explained, “James’ strategy is to use his queen to get the king and everyone in the way of the king. Jack’s strategy is pick apart the opposition’s defense, so you’ll see him go after the smaller pieces first. His games take a lot longer because he doesn’t go for the kings

right away; he goes for rooks and the pawns. Once he’s taken all of them, he goes in for the kill.” Mid-interview, the boys begin debating their strategies and which one is better. As to who would win between the two of them, Jack quickly and confidently exclaims “me!” “No, me!” counters James. The Kinsey boys’ have already surpassed their parents and typically win when they play. Kinsey said, “They’re bored playing against us,” and added that both boys defeat adult opponents about half the time. Their enthusiasm and love for the game served them well during the Mountain Lake Chess Academy tournament. Chess instructor Larry Evans, who hosts chess clubs and enrichment programs at schools across the county, said, “To get first and third place in their division is fantastic. Chess is an excellent intellectual pursuit. Kids get smarter when they play chess, they learn deductive reasoning and critical thinking and it makes them better academically.” The La Jolla Elementary School chess club meets Wednesdays. u

From Reservoir Tank, A1 “So it’s outdated and needs to be upgraded,” said project manager Parita Amerlahn. “The proposal is to build a new 3.1 million gallon reservoir at a higher elevation in the park.” A second reservoir at Exchange Place will also be demolished, but not replaced. The site of the existing La Jolla View Reservoir will be re-landscaped with native vegetation, and an existing communications tower nearby (unrelated to the reservoir) will remain. La Jolla Natural Park is found east of the La Jolla Country Club, and though there are walking paths through the park, public access is prohibited. The new reservoir will be completely underground with the exception of two manways (passageways to the underground facility) and two paved parking spaces for maintenance vehicles. “We looked at what portion of the park is going to be taken away and what will be restored. When all is said and done, the park is going to gain a third of an acre,” Amerlahn said. To ensure native vegetation takes root, up to five years of monitoring will follow. The La Jolla View Reservoir is part of the city system of reservoirs that includes Muirlands Pump Station, La Jolla Country Club Reservoir, Soledad Reservoir and Muirlands Pipeline, which all connect to residential areas. The water is pumped from parts of La Jolla and from the Miramar Water Treatment Plant. Resident Ed Comartin, who said he has attended other community presentations on the project, spoke at the meeting to “get

Noting that the room at the La Jolla Rec Center where the LJPB meeting is held was 12 feet tall, he added, “We are talking five times deeper than this room. Think of how deep that is as far as trenching goes.” Additionally, Comartin said the land on which the Exchange Place Reservoir sits is not dedicated parkland, but land owned by San Diego’s Public Utilities Department. He

Ashley Mackin

suggested that once the old reservoir is demolished, the land be converted into a park. In support of the idea, LJPB board member Melinda Merryweather said, “We are underparked in La Jolla because the city counts acreage under water as parkland … so I think it would be great.” Amerlahn said Public Utilities has considered selling the property, “but haven’t told me one way or the other.” To stay on top of project changes and show support for the area becoming a park, LJPB chair Dan Allen said a subcommittee would form. Members of the public who wish to be on the committee may attend the next meeting.

n MPA signage: Wildcoast’s Zach Plopper offered an update on the Marine Protected Area (MPA) informational signs planned for areas such as La Jolla Cove. The signs would be three-by-two-feet in size, and provide updated regulations for the Matlahuayl Marine Reserve found in the ocean near the Cove. There are four MPAs in La Jolla and the signs explain the various regulations that pertain to each. Plopper said the current signs at the Cove are outdated. Funded by the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation, the sign production and installation will proceed as soon as the verbiage is approved by the Department of Fish & Wildlife. The La Jolla Cove MPA is a “no-take reserve,” a restriction LJPB member Jane Reldan said she felt was not made clear on the proposed signage. “The sign says kayaking is a way to enjoy the MPA … and that sea lions play with divers and snorkelers who come to experience the area,” she read, adding she was worried that language would encourage unsafe contact with marine wildlife. Plopper said he would consider feedback and return to LJPB with a final version. n Next meeting: 4 p.m. Monday, March 23 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St., the LJPB will discuss priorities for San Diego operating budget 2016, and continue its discussion on legal and city-approved ways to clean Children’s Pool when the seal pupping season ends in May.

Board election, new projects busy planning group By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) elected seven candidates to its board during its annual membership meeting, March 5 at La Jolla Rec Center. Six candidates will serve three-year terms, and the other will fill a two-year term created when Rob Whittemore resigned from the board last fall. Those elected, in order of votes received, include: • Attorney Glen Rasmussen (105 votes) • Current trustee Janie Emerson (re-elected with 102 votes) • Former LJCPA trustees Jim Fitzgerald (87 votes) • David Little (84 votes) • Tom Brady (78 votes) • La Jolla Shores Association member Dolores Donovan (71 votes) • Architect Brian Will, who serves on the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review subcommittee, received 63 votes and will fill the two-year board term. There were 126 votes cast, representing 74 percent of LJCPA membership, making it one of the highest election turnouts for the group, which is officially recognized by the City of San Diego to make recommendations on development and infrastructure projects in La Jolla

approved changes to its bylaws, required to bring the association and 41 other community planning groups throughout the city into compliance with a November update to City Council policy 600-24, which outlines standard operating procedures and responsibilities for the planning groups. LJCPA bylaws committee chair Cindy Greatrex said the changes were largely “cosmetic,” rather than procedural. Member Ed Comartin noted the association lost 32 members during the past year, and encouraged others to attend LJCPA meetings and those of its subgroups. Board president Joe LaCava said the LJCPA went after 34 departing members “pretty aggressively,” although only two returned. “People are at different places in their lives,” he said, adding, “the greater variety we have the better off we are in terms of representing this community.” n LJCPA litigation: LaCava also noted

that the San Diego City Attorney’s office will represent LJCPA in the election lawsuit filed against it by La Jolla Shores resident Bob Whitney and architect Michael Morton. During last year’s annual election, in which Morton received the fewest votes, LaCava was elected to a third consecutive term in excess of the LJCPA’s two-term limit via an interpretation of LJCPA bylaws (as then written) that allowed for candidates to serve a third term as long as they receive more than two-thirds of the vote. (Morton ran again this month, but did not receive enough votes to be elected). Karen Bucey, the City of San Diego community planner assigned to La Jolla (in attendance to monitor the election) confirmed that the LJCPA’s newly adopted bylaws give unambiguous precedence to new candidates over termed-out candidates, as long as the new candidate receives at least one vote. n Whitney project back on the table: On a related note, on March 26 the San Diego Planning Commission will again consider Bob Whitney’s three-story, mixed-use project proposed for 2202 and 2206 Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores (the final environmental impact report for which has been completed). LJCPA has long opposed the project due to concerns with its perceived bulk and scale. Whitney is seeking coastal and site

n Action delayed on reservoir work: The board voted to table discussion of the city’s plans to replace the 720,000-gallon La Jolla View Reservoir and completely remove the Exchange Place Reservoir near Torrey Pines Road until the release of a draft environmental report. The work is scheduled to begin in October 2016 and be completed in April 2018. (See story on page A1). The city plans to hold an open house at La Jolla Rec Center in August to provide the public with more information on the project. In regard to the fate of vacant land that will be created by removing the Exchange Place reservoir, a city representative said the public utilities department would be contacted to see if they can use the land, or the city’s Real Estate Assets Department may decide to sell it, although nothing has yet been confirmed. In order for the land to be used for recreational purposes, such as a park, the water department would have to sell the property to the city’s parks department with money from the city’s general fund to “reimburse” water ratepayers, LaCava noted.

Sally Miller noted that fencing blocking ocean views along Nautilus Street (near West Muirlands Drive) has been removed. LaCava said the fencing was a code enforcement issue and its removal was hastened by the office of City Council President Sherri Lightner. n Pottery Canyon update: LJCPA member Don Schmidt noted that the planned capping of an old city dump site at Pottery Canyon, to reduce toxic runoff, has been considerably delayed. City of San Diego Senior Planner Joel Hyatt told La Jolla Light the job will now begin in late summer, “to avoid breeding season and before the rainy season.” n Undergrounding forum: A meeting to discuss two phases of planned electric line undergrounding work near La Jolla Shores and the northwest side of Mt. Soledad will be held 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, March 18 in Sumner Auditorium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, near Kennel Way and Paseo Grande. n Silver Street plans pulled: The proposed Silver Street Village Homes project (at Silver Street and Draper Avenue) was also pulled from the consent agenda for further discussion by community member David Little, due to his concern with a lack of ground-floor retail in the project. The 18-townhome project was approved last month by the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review subcommittee (read more at bit.ly/silverstreet). u

The mural pays homage to the housing market crash, during which signs with the words Sexy Cash were placed on telephone poles as part of an informal advertising campaign offering to buy up real estate, according to the Athenaeum

Music & Arts Library, which administers the project. Eighteen murals have been commissioned since 2010 when the La Jolla Community Foundation initiated the public art project. “Sexy Cash”replaces “Tail Whip” by Gajin Fujita, which was installed in May 2013.

City appeals court’s ruling on ‘Windemere’ cottage n Legal dispute remains long after cottage’s demolition By Pat Sherman In what has become one of San Diego’s lengthiest deadlocks between historic preservation and private property rights, the debate over master architect Irving Gill’s 1894 “Windemere” cottage continues. Although the Craftsman-style home was leveled more than three years ago, the question of whether it should have been preserved — and the process by which it was demolished — is still slogging through the courts. Most recently, the San Diego City Council voted 6-2 in closed session to appeal a Superior Court order from December 2014 in favor of property owners Frank and Mina Bottini, who purchased the Virginia Way property where Windemere was last located in January 2011. Seeking to develop a modern, single-family residence there, four months after the Bottinis purchased the property they withdrew the former owners’ nomination to have the city designate Windemere historic. Several months after that, the Bottinis had their attorney, Scott Moomjian, ask the city to review the cottage for its historic significance (a step required to develop a property containing a structure 45 years old or older). On Sept. 22, 2011 the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) ruled Windemere was not historic. That same day, the Bottinis requested the city inspect the property to

Irving Gill’s ‘Windemere’ cottage was built in 1894 and believed to be the master architect’s first home in California, and the first Craftsman home in the state. Originally located on Prospect Street, it was moved a half-mile to 1328 Virginia Way in 1927, and demolished several years ago. Light File determine if it was structurally safe. The city’s Neighborhood Code Compliance department declared the structure unsafe on Dec. 21, 2011 and ordered the Bottinis to obtain a demolition permit, which they did, demolishing the property two days later. La Jolla Historical Society and its preservation committee contend Windemere was structurally unsound because the Bottinis removed key structural features and willfully exposed its interior to the elements. In August 2012, the Bottinis applied for a coastal development permit to construct a new home there and in January 2013 city staff de-

termined the Bottinis’ project was categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). At issue is whether the demolition and proposed new development are separate projects. Preservationists contend they are not, and that the homeowners engaged in illegal “segmentation” of the project to avoid an environmental review that would have otherwise been required prior to Windemere’s demolition. Both the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) and La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) filed appeals to the CEQA

exemption, which the San Diego City Council upheld on Sept. 23, 2013, despite objections from the city’s Development Services Department. La Jolla resident and District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner made the motion to uphold the LJHS and LJCPA appeals, stating, “It is not appropriate to pretend (Windemere) never existed.

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®

Do trees really grow to the sky? Do escalators only go up?

hat do the stock market, trees and escalators have in common? Only two have gone up since 2009. This year should be OK (but it won’t last forever). Here’s why: Imagine you received a credit card with a $50,000 limit. Even better, you’d pay 0 percent interest for the next three years. What would you do with that credit card? A lot of people would say, “Oh boy! Glory, hallelujah! Let’s go!” And they would run up $50,000 worth of credit. If you did that, your personal economy would look really good while you were spending all that money. After all, your family would be out buying a sofa and a TV and a fancy vacation. Once that 0 percent interest grace period is over, however, you have to pay the credit card company back. But you don’t have $50,000. Now you have to make high payments. Those payments take money away from your living expenses, so you have to cut back on your grocery bill. Maybe you even have to move out of your nice big house and rent a smaller place for a while. What does your family economy look like now? Pretty lousy, right? Our government has been acting just like your fictional $50,000-spending family. The stimulus was like a gigantic credit card, and our country has run up trillions of dollars in debt. Eventually, we’ll have to pay up, and I think our economy could be very badly hurt. Right now we’re still in the “free money” phase. While it continues, I think it’s OK to be invested in the market. I believe you should be in the market when it’s going up, and out of the market when it’s going down. That’s where having an exit strategy comes in: It is intended to give you an opportunity to ride the market up as long as you can, and get out before the bad times come. Remember: The economy is like an escalator and the stock market is like a yo yo…Watch the direction of the escalator and not the yo yo… and don’t forget, trees do not always grow to the sky.

Norma Kay ‘crochets’ distinctive jewelry of metals and gems By Marti Gacioch As a young Brazilian schoolgirl, Norma Kay learned how to crochet thread into intricately detailed patterns. Now one of her custom jewelry lines reflects that childhood training, but instead of thread, Norma Kay crochets metals into delicate looking (but sturdy) earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces. Her husband, Sy, partners with her in the design side of their business, which includes home decor, but Norma Kay designs and creates the jewelry. “We design and produce a lot of the jewelry in sterling silver, brass, copper and goldplate, and what we don’t produce here, we have made in Brazil,” Norma Kay said. “We like to work with a lot of natural gemstones (in a variety of colors) — everything but diamonds.” After moving from New Jersey to Point Loma in 1985, Norma Kay and her husband opened a clothing store. By 1989, the couple had expanded to five stores and Norma Kay was growing weary of retail. The couple closed their stores and moved to Girard Avenue where they began designing and wholesaling home decor. Soon after, Norma Kay introduced her jewelry. “I always loved building things and doing

“Manipulating the wires is painful on the fingers, so I must pace myself,” she said. “We always try to keep up with fashion; mid rings (worn on the middle of the finger) are a trend right now.” Norma Kay has created her bespoke jewelry for eight years and is delighted to have it showcased in the prestigious La Valencia Hotel. “We’re happy and proud to be the only retail shop there,” she said. A life-size concrete statue of a “jewelry fairy” sits in front of Norma Kay’s La Valencia shop. “It represents every girl or woman’s wish for a piece of beautiful jewelry,” she said. “The fairy needs a name, so e-mail me a jewelry fairy name and we’ll award the winning name $500.” E-mail entries to: normakay@sbcglobal.net Norma Kay is building a website with an e-commerce feature to market home decor and jewelry. It should be online this summer. u

Police believe ‘casers’ are robbing homes in Bird Rock CRIME NEWS By Ashley Mackin Because soliciting and residential burglaries continue in Bird Rock, San Diego Police Department Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser attended Bird Rock Community Council’s (BRCC) monthly meeting, March 3 at Voce Del Mar restaurant, to answer questions and provide tips on how to handle the crimes. In the month leading up to the meeting, two burglaries took place during the day in Bird Rock, where items including small electronics and jewelry were stolen from homes. One reason for the daytime intrusions, Hesselgesser said, is that burglars want to “get in and get out with as little resistance as possible. They don’t want you to be there, they don’t want to confront you, so they case the house and find the best time to strike — when the resident won’t be there.” Someone “casing” a neighborhood will observe houses to watch for habits and schedules. Some pretend to be selling something to justify knocking on a door to look inside or see if anyone is home. In one incident, the victim believes her home was cased because it was burglarized while she was out walking her dog. Hesselgesser recommends those working from home, run their errands at different times every day. “If you go to the post office

at the same time each day, you might only be gone for an hour, but if someone has been watching you, they know they have an hour to get into your house,” he said. “They will usually grab small electronics or things that are easy to get away with.” He added that burglars often know what residents consider clever hiding places — including hiding items of value in a sock drawer and keeping house-keys under a rock or on a doorframe. He advised using alternative spots.

If you are home

Hesselgesser said if residents are home and someone suspicious knocks on the door, let

them know there is someone in the house. “If you don’t want to open the door, say through the door that you are there, ask who it is, and tell them you’re not interested (in whatever they might be selling). If you don’t, they will think the house is vacant,” he said. In addition to phony salesmen, a common scam is for intruders to work in tandem, posing as city employees or inspectors, during which time one will get around to the back of house and the other will distract the homeowner. This tactic is especially used to target elderly people, Hesselgesser said, adding, “If someone comes to your house unannounced, do not let them in, ask what company they’re from and call that company to verify.” In the Hesselgesser home, when a stranger comes to the house unannounced, he grabs a smartphone with video recording capabilities, and pretends to be on a phone call, but actually records the exchange. “I’ll even say ‘hang on one second’ as I’m going to the door, so they think I’m on the phone,” he said during a demonstration, and turned his phone screen toward himself, with the camera pointing away toward the suspect. “That way I’ve got the whole situation on video.”

If you are not at home

The BRCC Neighborhood Watch chair said that in local robberies, when the resident was not home, an intruder entered through

She also suggested writing down serial numbers for electronics and taking photos of jewelry and valuables, so should they be stolen, police have documentation of what to look for. She recommended that information not be stored on a computer, which could also be stolen. Should you observe something when your neighbor is not home, the Neighborhood Watch chair said to write down a detailed description of the person and what they were doing, and let your neighbor and police know. Hesselgesser said, “If you see something that needs police attention, call us at (619) 531-2000. Even if we can’t make it to that call, we have it recorded that there was a report about that area or situation.” u n The next Bird Rock Community Council meeting will be 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 7 at Bird Rock Oyster & Sushi Bar, 5752 La Jolla Blvd.

Trial underway in La Jolla double shooting n If convicted, Hans Petersen faces up to 96 years in prison

a Jolla resident Steven Dowdy had his share of problems with a former business partner in the past, but he never imagined he’d find the man in his backyard one day, firing bullets into his bedroom. Dowdy testified March 4 that he was awakened Sept. 18, 2013, sometime after 3 a.m., by the sound of footsteps. “My adrenaline was spiking because I knew there was someone out there that I was going to have to deal with,” said Dowdy, a UC San Diego cancer researcher. Just as soon as he had that thought, he said, the glass panel in one of the French doors that separated his bedroom from the backyard “exploded.” Bits of shattered glass flew into the room, rousing his wife, who was next to him in bed. “It sounded like a cannon,” said Dowdy, one of the first witnesses to testify in a San Diego Superior Court trial involving Hans Petersen, who had not only been Dowdy’s business partner but also used to be his nextdoor neighbor. Petersen, a 50-year-old former biotech executive, faces three counts of premeditated attempted murder stemming from separate shootings in the coastal community that day. In her opening statement, Deputy District Attorney Amy Maund told the jury the evidence would show that Petersen was angry and wanted revenge, so he targeted two La Jolla households. One belonged to

From Windemere Cottage, A8 degrade a historic property to the point that it becomes a public nuisance in order to avoid historic designation so they can obtain a demolition permit from the city.” The City Council also found the demolition permit was unlawfully issued while the cottage was being considered for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. The Bottinis ultimately filed suit against the city. Though in a Dec. 15, 2014 ruling, Superior Court Judge Katherine Bacal agreed with the appellants that, “CEQA forbids segmenting a project to evade CEQA review,” she said the Bottinis were not engaging in segmentation. “The demolition of the existing dwelling (Windemere) constitutes a project separate from the alleged anticipated construction of another building and the building permit should be viewed independently to determine whether CEQA applies,” Bacal’s ruling states. “The fact that the cottage has been removed was irrelevant to the project under consideration by the city.” Bacal concluded the City Council’s decision to uphold the appeals was “an abuse of discretion,” and directed the city to reconsider the appeals in conformance with the views expressed in her ruling. The City Council’s vote to appeal Bacal’s ruling was read during open session Feb. 3, the same day the City Attorney’s office filed the legal notice to appeal it. Although a representative from Lightner’s office said she could not comment on “active litigation,” Frank Bottini told La Jolla

Dowdy — with whom he had he had been involved in a business venture called Traversa Therapeutics — and the other to his brother-in-law, Ron Fletcher. Fletcher had been helping his sister, who was divorcing Petersen, divide the couple’s community property, the prosecutor said. “His revenge was a murder mission,” Maund told the jurors, after showing them the .45-caliber handgun used in the shooting. Both Fletcher and Dowdy were wounded, but survived. Defense lawyer Marc Carlos told the jury that Petersen was at both houses that morning and fired the weapon, but said the evidence would show he was under the influence of various medications he took for injuries he sustained in a skydiving accident. Carlos said his client also suffered from a seizure disorder. “The issue is what his state of mind was,” Carlos said. Testimony in the case is expected to continue this week. u — Dana Littlefield, Special to La Jolla Light

Light he believes the appeal of Bacal’s ruling is “frivolous and entirely without merit. “Judge Bacal … (found) that the City Council’s resolution constituted a failure to proceed in the manner required by law due to the fact that the resolution was contrary to legal precedent and was not supported by the evidence,” Bottini responded, via-e-mail. Bottini, an attorney specializing in securities, mergers and acquisitions, and shareholder derivative litigation, said he believes the March 2 California Supreme Court ruling, Berkeley Hillside Preservation vs City of Berkeley, adds credence to Judge Bacal’s ruling. In the ruling, the City of Berkeley determined that the construction of a singlefamily residence was categorically exempt from CEQA review under the “single-family residence exemption” (the same justification San Diego’s Development Services Department made on Bottini’s property). “The California Supreme Court case from March 2 constitutes binding precedent and conclusively establishes that Judge Bacal got it right and that the City (of San Diego), should it persist in its frivolous appeal, has no legal or factual grounds to support the appeal,” Bottini said. “The city’s legal briefing before Judge Bacal relied on the Communities for a Better Environment case, which was specifically disapproved of by the California Supreme Court in its March 2, 2015 Berkeley Hillside Preservation decision.” A representative with the San Diego City Attorney’s office said it would likely take more than a year for the court to hear the city’s appeal and issue a decision. u

Over the years we have had the good fortune of helping so many wonderful people improve their smiles, replace missing teeth, and catch up on years of deferred maintenance. We are privileged to be in a very rewarding and purposeful career. What we also recognize about our profession is that many people cannot bring themselves to take care of their teeth due to fear of the “The Dentist” or concerns about time and money. That fear of the dentist is almost always rooted in a very real past experience that led to these feelings. We understand that the resulting anxieties are a natural defense that have been programmed and etched into those patients’ psyche. Sedation Dentistry has allowed so many people to overcome their anxieties in a very safe and convenient manner. Patients are either asleep or totally relaxed during the entire visit. Almost everyone, when later asked about their experience with their dental visit, reports that it was very easy and comfortable, or they don’t remember the appointment at all. For those patients that are tremendously busy, our approach is to try to schedule most or all of their needs in one appointment. Today, most of us don’t have time to schedule around multiple dental visits, especially when catching up on years of neglect. One or two longer visits are easier to schedule in our lives, and, with sedation, the longer visit is easy and comfortable. Just set the time aside, wake up a little while later, and voila, it’s done. By the way, discomfort afterwards is rarely a problem! As for concerns over time and money, we all know how busy our lives get. Between our careers and family, sometimes our free time is squeezed out. There are so many activities and responsibilities, and every year it just gets busier and busier. Who has time to go to the dentist? Unfortunately we are not immune to dental problems. We were not made with a maintenance-free body or mouth, and neglect of our mouths always catches up with us. Let us stop finding reasons to put off taking care of ourselves another day, week or year. We know the solutions to our dental needs NEVER get simpler if we wait! As for money, certainly we know that fine quality dentistry and attentive care is expensive. It never gets cheaper with waiting. Maintenance is always less costly than neglect in the long run. The benefits of doing something well last much longer than the money saved doing it poorly. Ask us about our CARE CREDIT options for helping get it done right, and get it done now.

Traffic violations abound in the Village On any day of the week, you can sit at the corner of Wall Street and Ivanhoe Avenue and watch, easily, 30 or more traffic violations. These are parking in the red in front of the post office and bank; U turns in the middle of the intersection (it’s horrible); and cars not stopping at stop signs. If pedestrians don’t watch the cars, they are nearly hit. This needs to stop! Laura McNally

Time to relocate seals and sea lions I lived in La Jolla in the late 1960s and ’70s. Both my daughters were born here. One of my fondest memories is of taking them to Children’s Pool. Not only did they enjoy it, but I loved swimming in ocean water and I don’t like body surfing. I plan to move back to La Jolla in September (from New York City) but I will now have to go to Coronado to swim in a Cove. Children’s Pool has become “Seal Beach.” I went to the beach March 4, and was upset to see that the seals were taking over — I counted 22 lying on the sand — including four pups. Many more were taking a swim. And then there are the sea lions at the Cove … a friend went in for a swim and told me she would never go in again as she did not enjoy dodging sea lions. I don’t understand how San Diego can continue to ignore the needs and safety of its people, as well as the interests of the numerous restaurants and hotels so badly affected by the Cove odors caused by the sea lions. Is the city really going to wait for someone to be attacked by a Great White shark before acting? Several La Jolla Light readers have suggested that SeaWorld relocate the seals and sea lions to an island where they will find food without depriving people of their right to enjoy the beach and be able to swim in its waters. Sounds like a great idea! Dr. Myriam Miedzian

State workers put finishing touches on 113 new stone steps on Parry Grove Trail in Torrey Pines Reserve. Courtesy

Prime trail fixed and fabulous at Torrey Pines State Reserve n Docent-led hikes set for weekends in March Parry Grove Trail, a half-mile loop located in a prime scenic area of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, has reopened to the public after a fiveyear closure due to unsafe trail conditions caused by erosion. The trail is now in excellent shape: native vegetation has recovered up to the edges of the trail, false trails have largely grown over and the flower season has begun. Come take a hike! A public ribbon cutting will take place 10 a.m. Sunday, March 15 with representatives of California State Parks, Torrey Pines Docent Society and Torrey Pines Association participating. Docents will then lead guided hikes on the trail at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. Additional interpretive hikes by docents will take place 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m., March 21-22 and March 28-29. An anonymous donor, via the Torrey Pines Association, provided funding for all trail repairs. The Torrey Pines Docent Society also played a pivotal role in supporting the State’s restoration of the trail: volunteers assisted with repairs by installing trail delineators (a rod and cable system). Parry Grove Trail is one of three original trails designed by Guy Fleming and Ralph Cornell between 1915 and 1921. Weekend parking admission to the Reserve is $12-$15 (free parking outside the gate along state beach). Pete Jensen President, Torrey Pines Association

We live in a cul-de-sac on Ardath Road and understand the traffic noise from La Jolla Parkway bothers neighbors whose houses are close to La Jolla Parkway. We would prefer the natural view along La Jolla Parkway rather than a wall. The cost of building the wall is approximately $1 million to $2 million, which it was suggested, be paid by the City of San Diego. One way to keep peoples’ houses quiet without a wall is for residents who are bothered by the traffic noise to install double pane windows. This is what we did for our house and it works! If the wall is to be built, the cost of the wall can be shared by those residents who want the wall. Nancy Lo

POLL OF THE WEEK at lajollalight.com

All children should know how to cook

n Last week’s question and poll results:

When I was growing up, my mother — even though she always had a job — would have a home-cooked meal on the kitchen table by 6:30 p.m. She never failed unless, of course, she was sick. She never got pizza or burgers, instead of cooking. On Sundays, she made it a point to cook a meal that was ready at 2 p.m. and it was always something extra special. Parents and grandparents, teach your children how to cook! I now realize that if my mom had taught us how to cook all those great-tasting meals, I would have had a skill set to fall back on during hard times. Who doesn’t like a good home-cooked meal? If you teach children to cook in a fun way, without forcing them, by the time they are 12 years old, they will never forget how. They can always cook for themselves and their families and, if needed, go out and find a job, easily, no matter where they go in life. u Rick Miklos

Resident asks why notification missing over utility work By Pat Sherman A resident at the junction of Westknoll Drive and Calle Vaquero is concerned the city did not notify him and his neighbors about two-pronged street work that includes trenching a two-block section of Calle Vaquero and using jackhammers to install a utility box at the foot of his driveway. Contractors are installing fiber optic cable for Verizon’s bundled Internet, phone and cable TV service, as well as cell antennas on select light poles for its cell service. The work should be completed by the end of April, said Nick Patrick, a supervisor with the Fishel Company, the contractor completing the first phase of the work. Resident David Haney, who has Internet service with Time Warner, said neither he nor his neighbors knew about the work until workers showed up at the foot of his driveway last week with jackhammers. “It seems odd to me that none of us that live in this peaceful neighborhood were notified of this project or work,” Haney said in an e-mail to the city. “I am not in favor of this transmitter so

Workers dig a trench along a stretch of Calle Vaquero in La Jolla in preparation for installing underground fiber optic cable. Pat Sherman close to my house. Is it standard operating procedure that you do not inform homeowners of such major quality of life projects?” Responding to an inquiry about the work, Lynda Pfeifer, a spokesperson for the City of San Diego’s Development Services Department, said the Crown Castle GT Company (which provides mobile phone coverage for Verizon, AT&T, and other

wireless communications providers) has an agreement with the city’s Real Estate Assets Department to install antennas on street lights throughout the city, similar to one that will be installed at the foot of Haney’s driveway. The antennas are less than 24 inches tall and exempt from wireless communication facility permit regulations of the Land Development Code (section 141.0420), Pfeifer said.

“A typical installation involves removing an existing concrete light standard and replacing it with a steel light standard, textured to resemble concrete,” Pfeifer responded, via e-mail. “The antenna is then mounted to the top of the pole with an equipment cabinet mounted to the side of the pole.” A process 1 permit was issued for the work, which does not require noticing. “These installations are submitted for a right-of-way permit and no public hearing or notice is sent out,” Pfeifer said. Although in a letter to the offices of the mayor and city council last week, Haney said he felt it “extremely inappropriate for the city to go on a binge of installing mini cell phone towers with no option for homeowner/public comment,” Mike Sherlock, a resident who lives two doors down on Westknoll Drive told La Jolla Light he is not bothered by the work nor the fact that he was not notified of it in advance. “It’s progress,” Sherlock said. “You know, just because you live in La Jolla doesn’t mean they can’t fix the road or upgrade the lines.” u

The owners of this 1910 beach cottage at 7991 Prospect Place (named Manzanita) were granted a historic designation for it by the city’s Historical Resources Board Feb. 26. Photos by Pat Sherman “That back cottage still does keep its feel,” Davis said. “There are multiple criteria for integrity and I believe both cottages meet all the criteria. When you walk by them you get the sense of old La Jolla. … We are losing the last of these cottages and I am here to bear witness to my community and to the people who started it as a very modest beach community.” Moomjian argued that enclosing a porch at the back of the rear cottage, adding another porch to its front side and other changes made to it between the late 1950s and 1974 “occurred outside the period of significance for La Jolla beach cottage development and irreparably and adversely affected the original integrity (of the cottage) in terms of design, setting and materials.” However, HRB member Priscilla Ann Berge argued it appeared to her from documents in his historic report that the porch on the front cottage had also been altered, though the owners and HRB staff “don’t seem to be too troubled by it. “If we look at the front cottage we would agree there’s been changes to what is really the primary façade — what the public sees,” Berge said, adding, “Just last week we designated … a single-walled, shinglecovered little faux-Craftsman home that the (historic) Sanborn (Fire Insurance) Map showed did not (originally) have a front porch and did not have a side porch, and yet it was designated as a Craftsman.” Berge said both cottages are significant within their setting and context. “I don’t think the changes to the porch in either of these beach cottages is enough to say the cottages lack historical integrity,” she said.

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) and its Preservation Committee parted ways last month on the fate of two 1910 beach cottages near the intersection of Prospect Place and Cave Street in the Village — with the Preservation Committee moving to designate (and thus preserve) both cottages, while the LJHS board agreed with the property owners that only the street-facing cottage should be saved. Prior to the LJHS’s Feb. 23 meeting, board members reviewed a historic report on the cottages prepared by the property owners’ representative, attorney/historian Scott Moomjian, as well as a recommendation from staff at the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB). During the meeting, the owners’ representatives and the Preservation Committee presented diverging recommendations and fielded questions from the LJHS board. While both the Preservation Committee and property owners Kevin and Melissa Steel agreed the front cottage at 7991 Prospect Place qualified for an historic designation, only the Preservation Committee felt the rear cottage at 7993 Prospect Place qualified. The Steels originally said they planned to seek a historic designation for both cottages and build a two-story addition between them that would connect the two structures (read more at bit.ly/ProspectPlaceCottages). However, those plans would have required a variance from the city to move the rear cottage further toward the back of the property — a move the adjacent property owners opposed. Although the Steels’ representatives and city staff argued that the rear cottage had been altered too much over the years, and no longer maintained enough “integrity” to qualify as historic, the Preservation Committee argued that the changes were reversible, and that this type of architecture “was meant to be changed over time as wear-and-tear and termites took their toll,” explained LJHS board president Ellen Merewether. After privately discussing the matter, the LJHS board voted 11-5 to agree with the owner and city staff to designate only the front cottage, while remaining neutral on the rear structure. “Overall, I believe board members felt this was the best compromise between the homeowners’ interests and the interests of historic preservation in La Jolla,” Merewether told La Jolla Light, via e-mail. “It was not an easy decision and it was not one taken lightly, given the loss of historic properties in La Jolla over the years.” During the Historical Resources Board’s Feb. 26 meeting, LJHS Preservation Committee chair Leslie Davis argued that both cottages were listed in inventories of significant beach cottage architecture in La Jolla — despite Moomjian’s assertion to the contrary. “These are two of the last (beach cottages in La Jolla),” Davis told the HRB, noting that there are probably less than 25 beach cottages remaining in La Jolla built in 1910 or before.

Property owners Melissa and Kevin Steel listen as the Historical Resources Board weighs the merits of their proposal to designate only one of their 1910 beach cottages ‘historic.’ The board agreed with their proposal. Planning Association president Joe LaCava (speaking as a private citizen) requested the matter be continued to the March 10 HRB meeting because interested parties had “less than five working days” to review the historic report and did not have time to counter its “omissions and inaccuracies” (an assertion Moomjian and the owners attorney, Matt Peterson, both rebutted). The continuance was not granted. In the end, the Historical Resources Board voted to adopt the recommendation of its staff and the LJHS board to designate only the front cottage, clearing the way for the Steels to demolish the rear cottage and develop a new, single-family residence in its place. u

Boys Basketball: Mira Mesa High School Marauders 59, La Jolla Country Day School Torreys 48

Country Day drops the ball and playoff run to Mira Mesa By Kyle Loomis a Jolla Country Day boys basketball team’s improbable playoff run ended March 3 after a 59-48 loss to Mira Mesa High at Smith Gymnasium. The Torreys were seeded 15th in the CIF San Diego Section Division II bracket of 16 teams after an 11-17 regular season record. The Mira Mesa Marauders were seeded third, and were 22-6. The Marauders were more experienced, and taller. On paper, La Jolla Country Day was a true underdog. Mira Mesa High used their advantage in athleticism by getting steals from their trap defense. Country Day struggled to move the ball effectively in response to their opponent’s sudden double-team tactics. “We were incredibly hesitant to start. We weren’t aggressive, we walked it into the spots that they trapped it from,” said La Jolla Country Day coach Ryan Meier, citing youth and inexperience as a likely reason behind the Torreys’ slow offensive start. “Our guys were tentative, and they set themselves up into those spots.” Fortunately for the Torreys, the Marauders were not able to capitalize off each steal. Several shots and layups bounced off the rim, and Country Day kept the game close by rebounded well in the first quarter. The score was 13-9 after the quarter ended. The tenacity of the Torreys was evident throughout the game. The underdogs, fueled by their previous two upset victories against the No. 2 seed Steele Canyon and No. 7 seed West Hills, remained confident. “Our guys believe that we are better than a 15 seed,” Meier said. That mindset, though necessary for any team hoping to reach a CIF Championship game, is not enough to carry a team.

La Jolla Country Day boys basketball team loses to Mira Mesa High 59-48 on March 3. Kyle Loomis Mira Mesa High started the next quarter with seven unanswered points. After five minutes of play in the second quarter, the Marauders were winning with a score of 20-9, and they had the momentum. Country Day junior Bruce Edwards finally resuscitated his team’s offense with two straight baskets made in the paint after the Torreys offense found ways to get around Mira Mesa’s zone trap defense with some clever inside passes. It was the kind of aggressiveness that Meier was instructing during the break between quarters. Both sides rapidly traded baskets to close the first half, but Mira Mesa’s size advantage allowed them to keep a comfortable lead by out-rebounding the Torreys. At halftime, the score was 30-19.

“We had to keep them off the boards, and we didn’t do a great job at that,” Meier said. Strategically, the plan was for the Torreys to “pack it in, and put ourselves in a good rebounding position. We were obviously out-matched in size, physically and height both ways. We wanted to defend in a way that we could help ourselves get better rebounds.” The Torreys were not able to cut the deficit to less than seven points for the rest of the game. With just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter, Country Day had some momentum after they generated some offense through drives to the basket by sophomore Marcus Perry and freshman Alex Cho. The Marauders were shooting and missing from the perimeter. Then, Mira Mesa High senior Kris Johnson scored an emphatic three points off of a Torrey turnover. Johnson was fouled when he dunked the ball, and converted his free throw attempt to make the score 37-27. When the third quarter ended, the Torreys were down 12 points, and had made four out of eight free throws in the quarter. The trend continued until the end of the game. Layups and jump shots bounced off the rim. “We weren’t hitting shots, and I was telling them that the shots will fall, we’ll eventually make our layups, we’ll eventually hit our shots, and unfortunately, we didn’t necessarily do that, but they have to believe in that in order to have a comeback,” Meier said. Although Country Day could not end their season with a championship, Meier is optimistic about the future. There are no seniors on the team. “I don’t think they’re satisfied with how far they got, but this is good because I’ve got everybody coming back,” he said. u

10 QUESTIONS

Michael Mishler could write a book about old La Jolla

Tales

ichael Mishler has been the Archivist/Curator at the La Jolla Historical Society since 2008. He has a B.A in history from San Diego State University and a Masters in Library & Information Science from San Jose State. Raised in San Diego, he is a lifelong learner (self-proclaimed slow reader) and lives in Point Loma with his wife, Cindy. What brought you to La Jolla? At first, the beach. I started hanging out in La Jolla as soon as I Michael Mishler could drive here on my own. Years later, I came to work at the Historical Society. What brings me here now is the chance to preserve and share the stories and history of this community. What might you improve in the area? It’s boring, but I’d fix the roads.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? I’m going to cheat and have my wife, along with La Jolla historian Carol Olten, host the party while I’m in the kitchen; they’re both good at drawing people into conversations. As the archivist, I would invite early La Jollans so I could get some answers to questions. I’d invite Ellen and Virginia Scripps; shopkeeper and photographer Leopold Hugo, who left La Jolla and moved to Santa Cruz after being picked on for being German during the First World War; Anson and Nellie Mills, because they knew everyone and everything that happened in La Jolla; Green Dragon Colony founder Anna Held; and architect Herbert Palmer, who claimed to be the illegitimate son of the rather randy King Edward VII. I would invite Mr. Palmer just so we could convince him to take a DNA test. Finally, I would invite a certain Dr. Perkins, a gentleman who lived in La Jolla for a number of years and who, upon his death, was discovered to be a woman. What do you do for fun? I work here at the Historical Society. For more fun, I like to read too much, travel anywhere with my wife, and watch any movie, anytime, anywhere, especially with the San Diego Cinema Society.

Q: Are turtles found in every ocean? A: No, they’re not in the Arctic Ocean, reveals new Birch Aquarium series. By Ashley Mackin ow are turtles like trees? Turtle bones produce rings that provide clues to their age, just like a tree. Ahhh. For answers to other turtle questions and in honor of Birch Aquarium’s newest resident, a rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtle, the monthly SEA Days programming will lend scientific insight to all things turtle. Programs are included with aquarium admission and take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the third Saturday of each month. On March 21, scientists who monitor the daily habits of turtles will discuss “Turtle Tracking.” On April 18, a researcher who assesses the populations of turtles in oceans across the globe (except the Arctic) will talk about how they manage in “Traveling with Turtles.” On May 16, “Turtle Detectives” will show how turtle bones produce rings that offer hints to their age, size and diet. The turtle theme celebrates a rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtle that made Birch its home in November 2014. Aquarium interim director Debbie Zmarzly said after being found in the cooling canal of a power plant in New Jersey, the juvenile turtle (thought to be about 15 years old) went to “turtle rehab” for care. “During the course of its rehabilitation,

This Loggerhead Sea Turtle, aka Caretta caretta, was brought to Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in November 2014 after being rescued from a power plant cooling canal. Courtesy of Birch Aquarium it was discovered that it had paralysis in its hind flippers. It was deemed not releasable to the wild, because it wouldn’t survive. So it was transferred to the care of the South Carolina Aquarium, which started seeking a permanent home for it,” she said.

It’s unknown whether the turtle is male or female, as sex is determined by tail length, and the tail must get longer before Birch scientists can confirm. A turtle’s average lifespan is 50 years.

Let Inga Tell You

Torture by password

La Jolla Cultural Partners

should have recognized it as the beginning of the end. When my university employer decided to make the transition from paper to computers some years back, each employee was assigned unchangeable personal passwords to do business with various departments, with the all-caps admonition: COMMIT THESE TO MEMORY! DO NOT WRITE THEM DOWN! (I think we were supposed to tear up the little card and swallow it.) The passwords were all along the lines of *jwqY@7. Well, I didn’t really want to contact the travel office anyway. Lo these many years later, I have 12 PAGES of passwords. The irony, of course, is that I actually have a phenomenal memory for numbers. I still remember all of my childhood friends’ birthdays, addresses, and even phone numbers. But that, of course, is because they were all in my native English and I actually wanted to remember them. Now, of course, we are all subjected to Torture by Password. The requirements are getting more onerous by the day. There usually have to be a minimum of 8 characters and include a capital letter, number, and “special character.” I can see that for financial accounts, but your local

photo-developing place? Please! Go ahead and steal my photos! My kids would thank you for it! Personally, I would never willingly choose a password with a capital letter. I have hurled epithets at a lot of login sites over this, and I mean really really bad words. Ultimately, I have to have them send me a link to reset my password to a new one that I won’t remember either. Let’s talk about those security questions for a moment. Almost all of our accounts are joint, so when the question pops up about the name of the high school you graduated from, does it mean Olof’s or mine? His first car or my first car? Whenever there’s a choice (and there usually isn’t), we try to go for the unequivocal ones like, “Name of the city in which you got married.” Of course, even that assumes our second marriages, not the first ones. Neither of us can remember our maternal grandmothers’ maiden names, so we just never buying anything from that site. I realize online hacking is a serious problem but when warned to be sure that the “personal phrase” or the “personal security image” I selected appears before typing my password, I can only think,

“Hmm, does that look like an image I’d choose?” I tried to always go for a bird but avians aren’t always one of the options. Note to security programmers: There should always be a bird pick! But it’s not even enough anymore that you have an e-mail address, a user name, a password, a personal phrase, a personal security image, a display name, and three useless security questions. Several of our financial sites now require a 4-digit pin as well. This crosses the line into cruel. My husband’s former employer made them change their payroll passwords every six months but you could never use one you’d used before. He worked there 17 years. I’m truly reaching the end of the line on all this. There’s the Google and social media passwords, never mind your cell phone password and iTunes password and your Locate My Lost iPhone password, and your computer login and e-mail accounts. There are passwords for your virus software and your blog site, the seven airlines, 11 financial institutions, the ATM, the bill paying, six healthcare portals, retiree benefits, 27 assorted vendors, Staples, the pet meds place, your 1-800-Flowers account, the toy sites for the grandkids, the newspaper and magazine subscriptions, your Neighborhood Watch, your college alumni link, PayPal, the guest login on your home WiFi, assorted software renewal logins, TurboTax, Skype, Amazon, YouTube, your husband’s Droid, never mind Social Security and Medicare for us oldies. What’s my password? I HAVE NO FRIGGING IDEA! I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH BRAIN CELLS LEFT! And on top of all that, my Amazon and

Did I really pick this security image? Kindle book sales accounts and my Press Club interactions only work on Mozilla Firefox and not Internet Explorer. My bank insists on regularly hitting me up for security questions even though I’ve told them 8 billion times that THIS IS A COMPUTER I REGULARLY USE. The idea may have been to make it all easier but it seems like the only people who are finding it so are hackers. Maybe that’s the job of the future, the personal hacker. You just forget all about that password list and the security images and have someone on call to hack into your sites as needed. Since every day someone seems to steal my information from one of the conglomerates I deal with, I wouldn’t even be putting my data at risk since everyone but me seems to have access to it anyway. The swelling in my brain is going down already. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

ne of the coolest art events of the almost-spring season took place Feb. 28 at the San Diego Art Institute in Balboa Park. It was a one-night-only mass meet-up called “MAS Attack,” where 75 Los Angeles artists joined 75 San Diego-area artists to show and view their work and create new possibilities for engagement with audiences. MAS (Mutual Appreciation Society) Attack is a concept created by LA-based Artra Curatorial, and this was its first outing in San Diego. The free event drew hundreds of attendees, including local art-lovers, who obviously enjoyed the opportunity to interact with 150 artists from around the world currently living and working in Southern California. u — Lonnie Burstein Hewitt

hen Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelers on La Jolla’s Wall Street in 1945, they could never have known that their business would later become one of the longest standing retail landmarks in the community. But 70 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelers, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business. Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981. Since then, he and wife Sheila of 40 years, have been the go-to for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs and exceptional, personalized service. With an unparalleled selection, fine quality and real personality, the

family feel at Bowers is contagious. Patrons are encouraged to pull up a chair while they marvel at the many unique necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and time pieces on the showroom floor. The folks at Bowers remain true to their customers and work tirelessly to provide quality products at fair prices. Boasting a highly qualified, passionate and friendly staff, Bowers keeps the tradition of old La Jolla alive and well.

Almost exactly a year later, on Feb. 20, some 200 friends of Ernie and art filled the main gallery at the La Jolla Athenaeum for the opening of a show of his works called “Memory, Voyage, Full Moon.” The evening included a reading of poems by Pasquale Verdicchio, who had been working with Silva on a book they never got to finish. A popular member of the Visual Arts faculty at UC San Diego since 1979, Silva was probably best known for his multisensory installation, “The Rain

In the Green Room

La Jolla Playhouse sets 2015/16 season of all new works Far Left: Robert and Kristen Lopez — the Oscar and Grammy-winning duo behind the music of Disney’s ‘Frozen’ — are creators of the musical ‘Up Here.’

From Playhouse Reports

a Jolla Playhouse announced the lineup for its 2015/2016 season, which features a cast of world premieres. “This season embodies the Playhouse’s adventurous spirit in so many ways,” said Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley. “We’ve assembled an astounding group of artists, many of whom have worked in unique partnerships to create their pieces. “It has also been a goal of mine to bring our innovative Without Walls program to a wider audience, and for the first time, a WoW show will be part of our subscription series.”

Courtesy

Left: ‘Healing Wars’ is conceived, directed and choreographed by Liz Lerman. T. Wood

On the Marquee:

1) “Come from Away,” May 29-June 28, Potiker Theatre, with book, music and lyrics by Canadian husband-and-wife team Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and directed by Christopher Ashley. Based on the true story of when the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world when 38 planes were diverted to Gander on Sept. 11, 2001. 2) “Up Here,” July 28-Aug. 30, Mandell Weiss Theatre, featuring book, music and lyrics by the husband-and-wife composing team Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (Walt Disney World’s “Finding Nemo, The Musical”), who recently won the Academy Award for Best Song with “Let It Go” from

the film “Frozen.” Directed by Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers (“Peter and the Starcatcher,” “Rocky”), a 30-something computer repairman Dan finds a potential spark with outgoing T-shirt designer Lindsay, but his attempts at a relationship are thwarted by the Technicolor world in his head. 3) “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin,” Sept. 8-Oct. 4, Potiker Theatre, by Michael Benjamin Washington (“Memphis,” “The Wiz”), directed by Phylicia Rashad. In the sweltering political and racial heat of 1963, Bayard Rustin, the brilliant proponent of non-violent civil disobedience, is assigned to orchestrate an unprecedented march for jobs and freedom.

4) “Healing Wars,” (Sept. 29-Oct. 25) conceived, directed and choreographed by Liz Lerman. “Healing Wars” marks the first WoW production to be part of the Playhouse’s subscription series. The multisensory experience blends dance, storytelling and multimedia in an exploration of how soldiers and healers cope with the physical and psychological wounds of war. 5) “Indecent,” Nov. 13-Dec. 10, Mandell Weiss Theatre, co-created by director Rebecca Taichman (Playhouse’s “Sleeping Beauty Wakes,” “Milk Like Sugar”) and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel (“How I Learned to Drive”), coproduced with Yale Repertory Theatre. The

piece charts the history of an incendiary work (1922’s Broadway debut of “God of Vengeance”), the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it, and the evolving identity of the culturally rich community that inspired its creation. 6) “Guards at the Taj,” Feb. 2-28, 2016, Potiker Theatre, by Rajiv Joseph, directed by Jaime Castañeda. A dark comedy about two average men swept up by the beauty, carnage and injustice surrounding of one of the most famous wonders of the world. u n Tickets to La Jolla Playhouse’s 2015/16 Season are available through subscription packages of four or six shows at (858) 5501010 or lajollaplayhouse.org

Foods that help Prevent Varicose Veins While it’s true that varicose and spider veins can be hereditary, they are also largely the result of our lifestyle. In either case, however, there are things we can do to help promote our vascular health and thereby reduce the risk of varicose veins from occurring. I addressed one of these preventative issues a couple months ago when I discussed how exercise can work to prevent varicose veins. But there are also certain foods we can incorporate into our

diet that contain particular ingredients that have been known to combat varicose and spider veins. Blueberries While the term “super food” may get thrown around too often, blueberries might truly be just that. These berries have been shown to be one of the healthiest foods we can eat. The list of their benefits is extensive, and one of the advantages is that they can help prevent varicose veins. Blueberries help neutralize enzymes that break down our connective tissue. They also contribute to the overall health of our vascular system by repairing damaged proteins in the blood vessel walls. Ginger Ginger has long been a food known for its healing qualities and is often used to treat varicose veins and promote circulation. Fibrin is a protein that causes veins to become lumpy and hard, therefore a person

that has difficulty breaking down fibrin may develop varicose veins. Ginger, however, has been shown to break down fibrin in the blood vessels. If you add ginger to your diet, it is recommended that you use fresh ginger, as it is most effective. Avocado Avocados have multiple compounds that help fight varicose veins. First off, they are rich in both vitamin C and E, which are two important vitamins for vascular health. Additionally, avocados contain glutathoine, which is a molecule that protects veins and arteries from oxidant damage. Beets Beets contain a compound called betacyanin which has been known to greatly reduce natural amino acids that can damage blood vessels. Additionally, the leaves atop the beets are also highly nutritious, so don’t throw them out. You can use them as a substitute for spinach in almost any meal.

Asparagus Asparagus can help to strengthen veins and capillaries, and the stronger your veins are, the less likely they are to burst or rupture. Other Foods: foods rich in fiber, foods rich in vitamin C, many fruits (especially cherries, apples, apricots, and pineapple), watercress, rosemary, lentils, buckwheat, and be sure that you are drinking plenty of water. We should always be aware of our diet and what we are putting into our bodies so that we can live as healthy a lifestyle as possible. But if you find yourself more at risk for varicose veins, be sure to integrate these foods into your diet. If you want to further discuss your vascular health or make 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.

Six Irishmen are playing poker when one of them plays a bad hand and dies. The rest draw straws to see who will tell his wife. The man with the shortest straw goes to his friend’s house to tell the wife. He says to her, “Your husband lost some money in the poker game and is afraid to come home.” The wife says, “Tell him to drop dead!” The man responds, “I’ll go tell him.”

There are approximately 10,000 three-leaf clovers for every “lucky” four-leaf clover. True. To find a four-leaf clover, one should look in a patch of white clover (trifolium repens) or red clover (trifolium pratense) to spy genuine mutant clovers. The leaves of four-leaf clovers are said to stand for faith, hope, love, and luck. It’s often said that Ireland is home to more fourleaf clovers than any other place, giving meaning to the phrase “the luck of the Irish.” u — wikipedia

“ ‘Alchemia’ is quite a spectacle, like watching a painting in motion. There’s a very physical thrill of a finely tuned body doing amazing things live,” MOMIX founder Moses Pendelton said. Courtesy

La Jolla Music Society Presents

Expect the unexpected in ‘MOMIX – Alchemia’ “A By Kris Eitland lchemia” is about transformation, transmutation and the unconscious, as in a dream state, said Moses Pendelton, artistic director of MOMIX, who brings his dance odyssey to the Spreckels Theatre Friday, March 13 as a guest of the La Jolla Music Society Dance Series. “We loosely base the show on the elements of fire, earth, air and water,” Pendelton said from his home in snowy Connecticut. “There is magic in ‘Alchemia,’ and optical confusion and strangeness. The logic is the musical flow and dynamic of imagery that is coming before you. With MOMIX you should expect the unexpected.” Pendelton is an unorthodox choreographer. He graduated with a B.A. in English Literature in 1971, and that same year co-founded Pilobolos, known for humorous human sculpture. He created MOMIX in 1981 and performs and makes dances for other companies, too. MOMIX has worked on projects in film and television. Pendleton created the “Doves of Peace” segment of the Sochi Olympics’ opening ceremony. His new work “Alchemia,” requires a truckload of special equipment and props. “This is a complex show because there are flying wires, ropes, mirrors and sets to move and test, and the music never stops,” Pendelton said. “The show has to move seamlessly to keep you in a trance. I put 17 pieces together, including some by composer Ennio Morricone, the guy who did a lot of the spaghetti westerns, such as ‘The Good the Bad and the Ugly.’ He’s such a talented composer. There’s a piece with Yo Yo Ma playing a Morricone lament. There’s modern classical stuff and little pieces to help you see the dance, almost like a film score.” “Alchemia” runs with no intermission, about 88 minutes. Women in stiff coneshaped skirts transform into unknown creatures. Dancers balance on giant golden horseshoes. Pendelton says there is no narrative, although images are evocative. “MOMIX comes from mixing elements of

visual physical theater, costumes, props, lights and music to extend the range of the body and create new means of locomotion,” he said. “I always take an almost painterly approach to choreography. I create the picture first, and then I try to move it through time and space.” Pendelton didn’t plan to be a choreographer. He jokes that the universe wanted him to break a leg. “I grew up on my father’s dairy farm in Vermont,” Pendelton said, “and I came into dance by accident. I was a skier. Every summer, I went to Mt. Hood in Oregon to train with the Austrian ski team. My dream was to be a downhill racer — then I broke my leg. I took a dance class to get back in shape for the ski team. The rest was very biological. I followed my dance instructor who was much more attractive than the ski coach. I started making dances back at Dartmouth. Those were formative years. I got a sense of living a life in the physical mode, expressing myself with the body, and keeping it in shape. With MOMIX, it was always putting the aesthetic on the athletic.” MOMIX dancers are highly trained, Pendelton said. They do their warmup at ballet bars. They have to dance on their feet and hands, and act out imagery that isn’t always human, but it’s not Cirque du Soleil. “We use simple things to change the anatomy of the body,” Pendelton said. “Put PVC piping in your clothing and you get shape shifting. There are no rules, only the obligation to have an explosion of wild inventions that get distilled and become choreography. It’s an organic process. There are discoveries and it’s very collaborative. The essential part is to keep it fun, as child’s play. “Alchemy is quite a spectacle, like watching a painting in motion. There’s a very physical thrill of a finely tuned body doing amazing things live.” u n IF YOU GO: Prelude 7 p.m. Alchemia 8 p.m., Friday, March 13 at Spreckels Theatre, 121 Broadway, downtown San Diego.

Loggerhead Sea Turtles are one of the most traveled of all marine turtles. Pacific Loggerheads migrate more than 7,500 miles between nesting beaches in Japan and feeding grounds off the coast of Mexico. Loggerheads have been found in the Matlahuayl State Marine Reserve off La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Shores. Their Latin name is Caretta caretta, Zmarzly said, which is the name this one goes by at the aquarium. The largest hardshell turtle, Caretta caretta’s identifying features include large jaws and head, reddishbrown top shell, and yellow bottom shell.

April programs

In addition to the April SEA Days program, Birch has two other programs planned. n “Exploring Ocean STEM Careers” is set for April 14 for students in grades 6-12. “We knew there was a big demand from the community for middle- and highschoolers to understand the types of careers available in ocean sciences. We bring in 1520 scientists and UCSD grad students for a festival-style presentation.” Last year’s program reached 200 students with one-on-one interactions, speakers, a

Zmarzly said it is a longtime collaboration between Birch Aquarium and the UCSD Music Department. “The students come down and create a musical piece inspired by some ocean animal or ecosystems and their pieces are either recorded and played or performed live,” she said, finding the works inspired by the jellyfish exhibit to be most intriguing. Tickets $8 for aquarium members, $10 general. RSVP: (858) 534-5771 or aquarium.ucsd.edu u

From 10 Questions, B1 What are you currently reading? Oh man, I read according to my mood, so I have about four books going right now. They are “The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo,” “The Best American Essays of 2014,” “Leave it to Jeeves” by P.G. Wodehouse and “Zen Guitar” by Philip Toshio Sudo.

What is it you most dislike? As an archivist, I dislike finding documents or photos without dates or names. As the eternal 13-year-old, I dislike Brussels sprouts, eggplant, and the statement “Oh, that’s because you haven’t had them the way I make them.” What would be your dream vacation? It would start in Greece, and from there we’d see what looks like fun. What clothing item article in your closet would you never part with? The tie I wore at my wedding … even though jewel tones are no longer all the rage. What are your favorite comfort foods? Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but only on my birthday; California Mexican food; and anything with rice. What is your motto? When I was younger, it was, “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Now, I subscribe to, “Everything in life is worth it, if you get a good story out of it.” u

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,462,704.41 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company,
