‘The Conrad’ a marriage of acoustic excellence, civic majesty By Pat Sherman a Jolla Music Society (LJMS) offered the public its first glimpse of artistic renderings for the society’s planned 500-seat concert hall and performing arts complex in the heart of the Village, during a brief presentation last week to the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) at La Jolla Rec Center. In the coming weeks, the society will submit official plans to the city for its $62.5 million center at 7600 Fay Ave. Named the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center — and branded as “The Conrad” — it replaces the acoustically inferior Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, which the LJMS has used for decades and which will be converted to gallery space as part of the museum’s planned renovation and expansion. The Conrad will be located directly across from a seven-screen dine-in cinema complex now under construction in the old Jonathan’s Market space. See La Jolla Music Society, A14

Merchants want improvements after Shores construction La Jolla Traffic and Transportation

By Ashley Mackin When construction is complete on Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores, some business owners are hoping the city will step in and make additional improvements to boost safety and aesthetics in the business district. In the midst of Group Job 809, which began in December 2013

and involves replacing water and sewer lines, the street has been torn up with some business owners calling the area “a war zone.” Improvements proposed are to make a temporary sidewalk configuration permanent and to make the sidewalks and street more pedestrian friendly.

Cleanup Crew

Merchants roll out program to keep the Village tidy By Pat Sherman Broken glass, bottle tops, wire coat hangers, a golf tee, screws, weeds, dried palm fronds, dog feces and a disconcerting amount of cigarette butts were among items collected during the first day of La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s (LJVMA) new rolling trash collection program. Following up on LJVMA’s successful Sparkle and Shine banner program — in which businesses and residents sponsored banners throughout the Village to fund steam cleaning of sidewalks — the association is now paying an employee, Mary Deering, to collect trash throughout the Village, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The LJVMA uses an annual assessment on business owners in the La Jolla business improvement district (BID) to attract business to the Village and create a pleasing commercial environment. It also applies for grants and seeks private funding for its efforts, which include running a Visitor Information Center on Prospect Street. In response to public concerns about La Jolla’s increasingly litter-strewn streets, the LJVMA purchased a cart containing a trashcan, broom and dustpan, rake, gloves and plastic bags for picking up dog waste. It is also funding a stipend for part-time cart operator Mary Deering, who will pull weeds, pick up trash and empty the tops of any

overflowing public trash containers. During the program’s first day, April 1, LJVMA trustee Nancy Warwick accompanied Deering (who also works for Warwick at her Girard Avenue bookstore), setting off down Silverado Street, then heading up Fay Avenue to Pearl Street. “Today’s just sort of to see how well we can cover the (area) in three hours,” Warwick said, later noting that the work was exhausting and the program could benefit from another employee or volunteers. On certain days Deering may put the cart in her truck and

drive it to the far end of Pearl Street to begin at the opposite end of the Village. “I’m already grossed out,” Warwick said, with a laugh, picking up a bag filled with dog droppings left on the street and a wad of discarded chewing gum. After just 40 minutes, the trashcan in the cart was more than half full. “Even though we’ve picked up a lot I don’t think we’ve hit a really bad area yet,” Warwick said. “It’s just lots of little things — more cigarette butts than I was expecting.” Depositing a coat hanger and discarded

journal in her can, Deering added, “You’ll never know what treasures you’re going to find.” Warwick said she may ask if any business owners in the Village will let Deering empty her trashcan in their dumpster along her route, allowing her to pick up more trash. The program is funded by quarterly advertising displayed on the pushcart and on T-shirts worn by Deering during trash collection. Warwick’s is the first cart sponsor; Greg Noonan & Associates (of Berkshire Hathaway) and LJVMA trustee Michael Dorvillier (of Symbio Financial Partners) are the inaugural T-shirt sponsors. The cart sponsorship is $3,000; T-shirt sponsorship is $1,500 for three days a week or $3,000 for six days a week. The LJVMA is also soliciting smaller donations to help fund the program, as well as volunteers to accompany Deering on her route and collect trash. u n Be a Partner in Grime!

From Shores Construction, A1 The board did not vote on the requests, but requested the presenters return to a future meeting with more information. “Once all the construction is done, it is going to look exactly like it did before, so we were thinking this would be a great opportunity for the city to do something good,” Preisendorfer told La Jolla Light during a walkthrough along Avenida de la Playa. Spano explained there is a crosswalk configuration that was intended to be temporary and experimental, but it has no timeline as to when its efficacy would be evaluated. A portion of the affected crosswalk, across El Paseo Grande at Avenida de la Playa, is separated from adjacent parking areas by a row of planters and yellow caution tape instead of a curb or tire stops. Cars can park perpendicular to the crosswalk on one side and parallel to the crosswalk on the other side. “We want to extend the sidewalk (at sidewalk height) all the way to the end of the row of plants, so there is a curb to stop cars and make it safer,” Spano said, adding that previously, drivers would park their cars too close to the crosswalk. Having a curb would make the parking situation clearer. An option being considered is to have the sidewalk wrap into an L-shape, replacing one parking space and further delineating the section as a parking area. Additionally, Spano said he would like to have the sidewalk in front of his restaurant widened to standard width by removing some of the greenery there. His restaurant is the only one on Avenida de la Playa with extensive shrubbery that encroaches on

Currently, the sidewalk is wide enough to accommodate pedestrians in single file. “But think if they had a surfboard, paddle board or beach bag,” Preisendorfer said, noting that 3 million people visit the area over the summer. “It gets crazy here during the weekends and summer.” To further make the area more pedestrianfriendly, she and Spano said they would like to see a crosswalk striped across Avenida de la Playa. She said they are looking at a “continental crosswalk” of horizontal lines across the street instead of two vertical, parallel lines that people walk between. La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA), the community advisory group for the area, put infrastructure improvements for Avenida de

la Playa and adjoining streets on their list of city-funded capital improvements, but has not seen a specific plan. LJSA chair Tim Lucas, in attendance at the T&T meeting, said the board approved the concept of “allocation for Avenida de la Playa business district enhancement and sidewalk reconfiguration to improve safety and aesthetic,” including but not limited to increasing visibility of stop signs and crosswalks throughout the district on Avenida de la Playa, and extension and widening of sidewalks. The work would cost $186,000 if it were to be done on the city’s dime. At the T&T meeting, chair Todd Lesser said should the group decide to privately fundraise for the project, it would likely cost less and take less time. “If we approve this

project, it would go on a list of approved unfunded projects and I can tell you, it could take years,” he said. Further down the line, the Shores Business Association would like to see stop signs installed along Avenida de la Playa, but acknowledge that would be a different process. The concern, Spano said, is that there is one stop sign on Avenida de la Playa at Calle de la Plata, closer to the beach. It’s reported that drivers often run through it because it’s not visible from far away and they do not expect a stop. No accidents were ever reported at that intersection. u n Traffic & Transportation meets 4 p.m. fourth Thursday at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The next meeting is April 23. lajollacpa.org

Planners narrowly approve town homes, roundly reject new ‘Whale Watch’ plans La Jolla Community Planning Association By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) swore in six trustees during its April 2 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, including: La Jolla Shores resident Dolores Donovan, architect Brian Will, current LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson (elected to a second three-year term) and former two-term LJCPA trustees Tom Brady, Jim Fitzgerald and David Little (each reelected after a year off the board, as required by the organization’s bylaws). LJCPA trustees make recommendations to the City of San Diego on development and infrastructure projects — particularly in regard to whether the projects comply with San Diego’s Land Development Code, the La Jolla Community Plan and other planning documents. LJCPA president Joe LaCava noted that, unlike last year, there were no challenges filed following last month’s annual election. n Officers announced: During the meeting, LaCava was elected to a second term as board president, Cindy Greatrex as

From Planning Association, A5

William Berwin presents plans for his Silver Street Village Homes project. During its April 2 meeting, the LJCPA recommended the city approve permits for the project. It involves construction of 18 two-story townhomes at Silver Street and Draper Avenue. residential area made little sense, and that it would probably not be successful there. The project will next go before the San Diego Planning Commission, and then ultimately be decided on by the City Council. n Bucknell Avenue Despite concerns with how a proposed retaining wall would appear to residents across a canyon from it, LJCPA trustees voted to approve a site development permit for construction of a retaining wall tiered into nine- and six-foot-tall sections on a vacant lot at 5805 and 5817 Bucknell Ave. The DPR rejected the project in February by a vote of 5-4-1. Property owner Shawn Tobias (who lives

next door to the lot) argued that the city approved a wall for the previous owners when they demolished their home and planned to build a new one (though they abandoned those plans during the down economy). Tobias said retaining walls on adjacent properties — including one unanimously approved by LJCPA — are taller than the one he is proposing. Whether a home is built on his property or it is sold to someone who plans to build a home, any development must first come before the LJCPA for review, he noted. Although the proposed wall would be on environmentally sensitive lands, it is on a portion that has already been disturbed and grated, Tobias said. A flat portion between the two sections of retaining wall could be

used to plant vegetation that would help camouflage it, he said. Although trustee Weiss said one of the neighbor’s retaining walls looks imposing in online maps, Tobias argued, “We’re not building a fortress. We just want a yard.” n Whale Watch “No Way” LJCPA trustees again rejected revisions for a futuristic La Jolla Shores home proposed at 8490 Whale Watch Way. Citing the project’s bulk and scale, trustees said concessions made to to address their concerns have been too minor (some areas were shaved off the facade and a cluster of olive trees were added to provide privacy for neighbors to the east).

n Silver Street Although the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittee lauded the townhouse project, voting 5-1-1 in favor of it, several LJCPA trustees opposed the project April 2, siding with trustee David Little, who pulled it from last month’s consent agenda due to its lack of a ground-floor commercial component — a requirement of La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (or blueprint for development) which some believe is outdated for a neighborhood of primarily residential, recreational and cultural uses. Voting in opposition to the gated community of two- to four-bedroom town homes of 1,800-2,600 square feet were: trustees Little, Emerson, Brady, Donovan, Ray Weiss and Fran Zimmerman. Little said the project sets an unfavorable precedent by requiring “spot zoning,” stating his assertion that the applicant should have sought a variation instead of a deviation from the city (a point countered by project representative Matthew Peterson). To read more about the project, visit bit.ly/ silverstreet “I’m not unhappy with the project; I’m unhappy with the process,” Little maintained. Trustee Fitzgerald, who said he was concerned by the removal of commercial space required where the Monarch Cottages Alzheimer’s facility is to be developed on Fay Avenue (before a compromise was struck), said he doesn’t have those same concerns with this project. He argued that requiring commercial space in this largely

City Council President Sherri Lightner (right) thanks recently departed LJCPA trustees Phil Merten and Dan Courtney for their service (also commended but not pictured are former trustees Cynthia Bond, Nancy Manno and Robert Mapes). Architect Michael Morton said he worked on the house to the north of the site, which “almost dwarfs” the proposed home, arguing that the proposed structure is a modern interpretation of a courtyard home, the likes of which helped define the character of early La Jolla. Morton said it is an unavoidable reality that homes in the Shores are being built larger, driven by increasing land values and market demand. “I think you have to look it not from the last century’s eye, but from this century’s eye,” he argued. Phil Merten, who chairs the La Jolla Shores Permit Review committee (PRC), which has also rejected the project, said the 7,000-square-foot home has an interior

Jeff Powers, opponent of the One Paseo development proposed for Carmel Valley (and spokesperson for Protect San Diego’s Neighborhoods), addresses the LJCPA. Powers said the City Council (sans Sherri Lightner and Marti Emerald) ignored wishes of planning groups in Carmel Valley, Torrey Hills, Del Mar and Solana Beach by approving the contentious ‘smart growth’ project. LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson asked that the issue be put on next months’ LJCPA agenda for discussion.

courtyard of about 3,000 square feet that is not being counted. The project would have a much larger floor-area-ratio if the courtyard were included in the calculation, he said. “Does the La Jolla Shores Design Manual require that you count the interior courtyard in the calculation of the square footage?” asked project representative Paul Metcalf. “No, but Phil does,” fired La Jolla Shores resident Bob Whitney, whose own mixedused project has been repeatedly rejected by the LJCPA and PRC.

summer, a decision later appealed by the LJCPA. The Planning Commission is slated to consider Whale Watch Way again in the near future, at a date to be determined. More at bit.ly/Whalewatchway n LJCPA to appeal Rushville Despite the advice of president LaCava — who suggested trustees not appeal projects to the city in which the LJCPA has a slim chance of prevailing — trustees voted 12-1-1 to appeal a two-story home rebuild at 820 Rushville St. (directly across from the La Jolla High football field) which was rejected by the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review subcommittee 5-4-0, then subsequently approved by city staff.

“The (DPR) committee was split on it,” LaCava said. “It will be tough to make our case in front of the Planning Commission.” Ed Comartin and Sary Frymann, who both ran for seats on the LJCPA board last month, argued in favor of an appeal. “The architect never bothered to work with anybody, including this committee. They did not come before you,” Comartin said. Frymann said the new home would include a 28-foot-high wall with no windows on one side and is out of character with early 1900s cottages in the neighborhood, though trustee Will countered that the character of Rushville Street has changed through the years and the project is a good fit.

Bishop’s stages drunk-driving reenactment to show ‘real’ consequences

“9

For The Bishop’s School staging, student Ariana is portrayed as someone who ‘died’ on impact after the crash, flung from the car through the windshield. Photos by Ashley Mackin

The graphic presentation, under the auspices of the “Every 15 Minutes” program coordinated by the California Highway Patrol and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, was originally made four years ago to students who have since graduated. Those watching Thursday, were doing so for the first time. “If I’m being real, we’ve all had friends who’ve made bad decisions and there were no bad consequences, so this simulation was good because it made it real and showed the consequences,” said senior Megan Nguyen. “The part that struck me was seeing the parents react. I never thought about the consequences and the reach of those consequences.” Bryan Edwards added, “It was surprising for me. I could visualize what could go wrong, but I’ve never actually seen it (reenacted). It felt so real. So much happens that you don’t think about — like firetrucks, gurneys and the coroner showing up.” Mackenzie Holmes said, “Before I saw this, the idea of drunk driving was not something I’d ever seen or known anyone who had been affected by it, so it was almost imaginary. This made it real.” Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. For more information about the program, call (916) 843-3351.

By Ashley Mackin -1-1 what’s your emergency?” Bishop’s upper school students heard over loudspeakers during a staged drunk driving presentation, March 25. “There’s been an accident, I think my friend is dead!” cried the terrified caller. A crash scene was staged in front of the hundreds of students to show the lasting and devastating effects of drinking and driving. It depicted the results of a drunk driver colliding head-on with another car, leaving the body of a classmate splayed on the hood. The presentation covered the true-to-life series of events that follow a fatal accident — from the police arriving to the removal of a deceased victim — performed by real emergency personnel. “It’s one thing for me to tell them or a police officer to tell them ‘don’t drink and drive,’ but to actually see this crash is alarming,” said Megan Broderick, Bishop’s counseling director. For maximum impact, the driver and three victims were all played by Bishop’s students. Bill Goss, head of upper school, said the students involved in staging the presentation filmed what would have happened at the hospital and the courthouse where the driver is to be tried. The students watched the film the next day at an assembly. “It’s as real as it can get for these students,” he said.

This terrace across the front has a beautiful sort of horizontal rhythm. It was (German poet and statesman Johann Wolfgang) von Goethe who said ‘Music is liquid architecture; architecture is frozen music,’ This is some of that frozen, rhythmic music.

La Jolla Music Society board member, honorary director and music center donor

Model of Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, which will be located in the heart of the Village of La Jolla at 7600 Fay Ave. From La Jolla Music Society, A1 The center will also include a 150-seat cabaret room/multi-purpose theater and offices that replace space LJMS rents in the El Patio building on Ivanhoe Avenue. “This will become the permanent home for La Jolla Music Society; it’s something we’ve sought for more than 20 years,” the society’s president and artistic director, Christopher Beach, told those attending the April 2 LJCPA meeting. “We’re confident The Conrad will quickly become an important architectural landmark, an economic catalyst for La Jolla and an educational and cultural destination for all of San Diego.” After submitting plans to the city, LJMS will begin the community outreach process, seeking public input from the LJCPA and other organizations. The society has created a website, theconrad.org, to offer information on the project that will be updated as the society navigates the city permitting process and begins the center’s anticipated 18-month construction. “Our goal is to open in January of 2018,” Beach said. “Over the coming months we will be talking to community groups and organizations and individuals to assure we are responsive to any potential concerns. La Jolla Music Society has been part of this community for over 46 years and it’s important to us to continue to be a good neighbor and to make certain that this is the very best possible project for our entire community.”

‘Performing Arts Village’

La Jolla Music Society will provide as many as 200 parking spaces for patrons of The Conrad in the adjacent Bank of America parking structure at Fay Avenue and Kline Street, as well as more than 500 spaces at nearby garages noted on this map. The Conrad will also offer valet parking for evening performances. Courtesy

cabaret room. Once mature, crepe myrtle and fern pine trees along Fay Avenue will help break up the façade and give the building a sense of height, Joslin said. “It’s more of a cloister type structure,” he said. “The world is kind of inside … so instead of focusing out, the building really embraces an interior world.” Two-story double doors of the concert hall open to a central courtyard, from which patrons also access the cabaret space and a donor lounge. Plans for the courtyard include olive trees, a succulent garden and silver sheen shrubs flanking the doorways. “Something we absolutely love is the ability to just throw the doors open and (have guests) pour outside,” Joslin said.

Balancing aesthetics/acoustics

to try and understand the ambiance and the unique features of the area,” Joslin said. “We catalogued a lot of background material and have used that in the development of our design. … “We love the post office building, the Athenaeum and even some of the churches,” he said. “They’re really charming, but we were worried about doing something that was too nostalgic.”

Grand entrance

An open-air, second-story terrace fronting nearly the entire length of The Conrad’s Fay Avenue façade will include a trellis-like cover comprised of rectangular, terra-cotta tubes inspired by wood slats that enclose the 1915 Botanical Building in Balboa Park. “Imagine at night driving down the street

and the entire terrace is lit up from within,” Beach enthused. “It’s going to be like a great lantern all along the street — the people inside can see out and you can see all the people inside having a great time at intermission and before the concerts.” Concert halls are typically taller than what is allowed in La Jolla, and located off a main street (like San Diego’s Jacobs Music Center) or situated adjacent a public plaza (like Civic Theatre in downtown San Diego). Creating a space that conveyed major civic gravitas and splendor on Fay Avenue posed a challenge for the architects. Joslin said he and his colleagues, including wife Deborah Epstein and Project manager Ray Porfilio, chose to make their statement horizontally, with the long open terrace and street-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows of the

The concert hall has 350 seats on its main floor and 150 in its balcony — which wrap around the stage for a more intimate experience, akin to that of a European opera house, Beach said. The front of the stage will include steps, in homage to Sherwood Auditorium and to provide people in the first few rows an elevated, clearer view of the stage. However, no matter how visually appealing its design, the center will only be as good as its acoustics, Joslin noted. To that end, LJMS has secured the services of Yasuhisa Toyota, the Los Angeles-based representative for Nagata Acoustics. Among the world’s most sought-after acousticians, Toyota performed sound sculpting for the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, as well as Suntory Hall, Sapporo Concert Hall and Kioi Hall in his native Japan — all of which LJMS’s SummerFest musical director and violinist Cho-Liang “Jimmy” Lin was rapturously familiar with, having performed at or attended concerts there. (Toyota is also in early discussions with the San Diego Symphony to redesign the sound at Jacobs Music Center, the most recent acoustic upgrade to which was done in the mid1980s, when Fox Theatre was converted to Copley Symphony Hall.)

Alan Joslin, a principal with Massachusettsbased Epstein Joslin Architects — selected to design the center from an initial pool of 15 firms — said he envisions The Conrad as a “performing arts village” inspired by the intimate spaces he encountered walking the streets of La Jolla before his firm even submitted its proposal. “We spent a lot of time out here visiting all the theaters, halls and parks in the area, and walking and photographing in La Jolla

Interior rendering of the planned 500-seat Baker-Baum Concert Hall at Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, tentatively scheduled to open in January 2018. Although LJMS desired a curvaceous auditorium, a rectangular or shoebox shaped space — like those of Boston’s Symphony Hall and the Vienna’s Musikverein hall — work best acoustically, said Toyota. To align the aesthetic and atmospheric desires of the LJMS with Toyota’s acoustic requirements, Joslin encircled the inner seating area with wood slats known as a “grillage,” through which sound will flow and reverberate off the walls of the rectangular building and back inside to the audience. As the audience enters the vestibule of the hall, they will see through the slats to the seating area and stage. Once seated, they peer back out through the grillage to the outer walls, which will be illuminated by LED lighting that can be adjusted in color and intensity to match the mood of the performance (also used on the ceiling and shown in blue in the above rendering). “Sometimes this light will be very bright and then when the performance begins, the lights will dim and the focus will be (on the stage),” Joslin said. “The notion is you feel

almost as though you’re outside in the air.” Beach added, “You have the sense that this room is light and floating and open.” Toyota, who first attended a LJMS performance in the late ’90s while living in Japan, at the invitation of former SummerFest musical director and close friend Heichiro Ohyama, said La Jolla’s 30foot height limit on new development was the greatest challenge he faced. For maximum quality acoustics, he said a 500seat hall would ideally have a 40-foot-tall ceiling (ceilings of The Conrad’s concert hall and cabaret space are each 30 feet). To compensate for a lower ceiling height, Toyota worked closely with Joslin. “I think we’ve overcome the limited ceiling height acoustically … in other ways,” said Toyota, whose concurrent projects include the 2,000-seat Elbe Philharmonic Hall, under construction in Hamburg, Germany. “This was one of those challenges to us. … It took some time, but still I think we did a very good job.” To make sure the structure and acoustics

meshed, Joslin would e-mail design specs to Totyota in Los Angeles, which Toyota would run through a computer program that calculates sound reverberation for the proposed dimensions. “We basically would say, ‘How about this?’ and they would run their model and say, ‘If you would shift those walls by so many degrees it would be a great improvement’ or ‘if you make the ceiling irregular it would improve the conditions over here,’ ” Joslin explained. For lectures, film screenings and jazz or rock performances, where less reverberation is desired, a curtain can be pulled behind the grillage to dampen the sound.

New space, expanded offerings

Former Sempra Energy CEO and LJMS board member Stephen Baum, who with wife Brenda Baker contributed $10 million to the center, noted that the LJMS will expand its programming at the new center. The Conrad’s $62.5 million price tag (of which it has already raised an impressive $57.5 million) includes the land (which LJMS

Dennis Allain

has already purchased) and a $10 million endowment to fund future operations. LJMS is also raising money for a $10 million endowment to expand its educational programming and community outreach. “We have a business plan for attracting other presenters than we’ve normally done,” Baum said, noting that some of last year’s most well attended performances included a ukulele concert and the American debut of Siro-A, likened to Japanese version of Blue Man Group. “This is an evolution for the music society, because we’re going from a concentration on classical music, dance and some jazz to a much broader array of entertainment for a broader community,” Baum said. “We’re trying to reach different demographic groups, different interests. The idea here is a big spectrum of entertainment. Not to diminish (LJMS’s roots as) La Jolla Chamber Music Society, but music, it’s an evolution. ... The Conrad is all about entertainment, education and commercial activity.” u n ON THE WEB: theconrad.org

Look, but don’t touch!

Rules for tidepooling in La Jolla not well known, says Wildcoast

A family looks at what was retrieved from the tidepools at La Jolla Cove — against the advice of Wildcoast. Ashley Mackin “The thought is ‘I’m just one person taking one rock,’ but considering hundreds of people are there a day during the summer, if they all thought that, it would add up to a lot of missing rocks,” he said. Volker Hoehne, a diver of 35 years and chair of the San Diego Council of Divers,

offered the starfish as an example of a creature for whom excessive contact can have a direct impact. “They have a lot of little legs on the bottom that act like suction cups. Every time someone picks up a starfish, a few of those suction cups break off. Sure they grow back, but if you have a couple hundred people tidepooling every day, that starfish is going to lose its suction cups and die,” he said. “It becomes a case of loving the environment to death.” Plopper added that continued disruption to MPAs could have an ecological impact for the invertebrates and smaller fish species that call those intertidal zones home. “When you start moving their habitat around, it’s essentially like taking away sections of your home,” he said. “We think that a small rock might not have any ecological value, but it does. It’s part of a habitat for smaller marine wildlife that is critical to the food web and the ecosystem. Removing the base can degrade an entire ecosystem.” The intertidal zones — areas between the high tide and low tide marks on the seashore — are deceptively delicate, Hoene added. “We think ‘it’s nature, it’s tough, it can withstand the waves crashing on it,’ but it’s actually very delicate. If we limit our impact, the ecosystem will improve and we will eventually have more to see,” he said. “A healthy ecosystem is incredibly diverse.” Plopper said allowing people to walk

By Ashley Mackin La Jolla has at its fingertips miles of coastline complete with beaches and tidepools that are visited in large numbers daily. However, Zach Plopper of WildCoast argues that just because we can reach out and touch marine life, doesn’t mean we should. “The general rule all people visiting these areas should abide by is to look and not touch,” he said. “There is a real threat in day-to-day tidepooling and people taking things.” He added that is particularly the case within La Jolla’s three state-regulated Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) — acres in the ocean that end at the beach. La Jolla’s MPAs include: San Diego Scripps MPA, which goes from Scripps Pier north to Black’s Beach, and includes the tidepooling area and the rocky area just north of Scripps Pier; Matlahuayl Reserve that goes from the western edge of La Jolla Cove, aka Point La Jolla, up to Scripps Pier, and includes the Cove and La Jolla Shores; and South La Jolla MPA, which spans the beach at Palomar Street down to Diamond Street and its adjacent, offshore MPA (not affected by tidepooling and beach activities). These areas are also classified as a State Marine Reserves, and to take, damage, injure or possess any marine resource (living, geological or cultural) is prohibited. Citing ignorance on the part of the beachgoers, Plopper said he has seen people take

through a gate onto the bluffs at La Jolla Cove where sea ions rest — while separating people from hauled-out seals with a guideline rope and beach closure at Children’s Pool — sends a mixed message. “People can get close to the seals and sea lions, which they shouldn’t be doing, and that sends the wrong message as to what’s allowed,” he said. “Marine wildlife is something we need to respect and maintain our distance from and leave as is, so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.” In the meantime, Plopper and Hoene advocate for taking photos as the best way to remember La Jolla’s natural beauty. “We also want people to, in a constructive and friendly way, approach others and let them know this is an important marine habitat that they could impact (if they were to disturb or take anything),” Plopper said. Additionally, he points out, violating the rules of a MPA is a punishable offense. “Tell people to be aware that if a lifeguard or game warden witness the taking of a marine resource, the culprit can be ticketed,” he said. “Current regulation states that a MPA violation is a misdemeanor and can end up costing thousands of dollars. Wildcoast is working on legislation to change this so violators can be cited with a misdemeanor or an infraction, depending on the severity of their crime. An infraction would be settled in traffic court and be a lesser fine.” Hoene said if someone wants to collect seashells or rocks, there are beaches outside La Jolla where such is allowed. u

Found along most streets in town, mock orange (Pittosporum tobira) gives off an amazing fragrance that is similar to orange blossoms. Photos by Kelly Stewart wildlife has been active as well. The other day I was walking along Coast Boulevard and just south of the Children’s Pool, I watched a newborn seal (Phoca vitulina) pup and its mother playing in the waves near shore. How funny these creatures are to watch! The peak of pupping season has just passed and there are several new additions to the rookery. Seal pups in several stages of development, from newborn to nearlyweaned, can be seen alongside their mothers on the beach and in the water.

There are the usual suspects, the ice plants and statice (sea lavender) along the bluffs, roses of every hue in gardens, two-toned tidytips (I think I just like saying the name), and brighter spots of orangey California poppies.

That’s because the rainwater washes down through our creeks and streams picking up pollutants and bacteria that is carried out to the ocean at the estuaries and lagoons. Until they dissipate, the pollutants and bacteria, which end up in the surf, can make people sick. The health department isn’t the only organization that monitors local waters. Coastkeeper, an organization with offices at Liberty Station in Point Loma, enlists an army of more than 200 volunteers who watchdog the creeks and streams of inland watersheds that flow down to merge with coastal waters. Once a month, Coastkeeper volunteers go inland and collect water samples at three different sites along nine of San Diego’s 11 watersheds, which are large areas that drain runoff and rainwater into the ocean at specific locations. Volunteers devoted 1,888 hours to water sampling in 2014. The two watersheds that Coastkeeper does not sample — Santa Margarita and San Juan — cannot be accessed because they include restricted areas of Camp Pendleton Marine base. On March 11, Coastkeeper released the results of its testing for 2014, providing an indication of countywide water quality trends. Coastkeeper rated or graded the

County down to the South Bay, Coastkeeper encountered more specific problems with the water quality. One big problem involved the amount of dissolved oxygen in the waters. It was determined that 30 percent of the water samples collected contained mean levels of dissolved oxygen below what is considered to be a healthy level. Dissolved oxygen is important for life in streams and creeks. When it gets too low, wildlife begins to die. Coastkeeper said low

water quality of each watershed from 0 to 100 and gave each a correlated score of “Poor” to “Excellent.” Unfortunately, the results were not very good. The nine watersheds ranged from “Fair” through “Marginal,” with one “Poor.” Grade-wise, this would be a C+ down to an F grade. The results, which appear to be worsening, indicate an urgent need to pay more attention to local waters and take action to clean them. Besides the poor overall scores, which worsen from North

www.lajollalight.com levels of dissolved oxygen may explain the fish die-offs encountered in the San Luis Rey River last spring. Coastkeeper also found that in 57 percent of samples, the level of Enterococcus bacteria exceeded healthy standards. Enterococcus is a lactic acid-type bacteria similar to Staph infection. Enterococcus measurement has recently joined with the measurement of E.coli bacteria as the new standard for measurement of unhealthy bacteria in water. It was also determined that eight of the nine watersheds were “Marginal” or “Poor” in terms of E. Coli levels — the bacteria related to animal, bird and human feces. The presence of higher than normal levels of Enterococcus and E Coli bacteria mean there is a potential for staph, ear and eye infection, hepatitis, rashes, diarrhea and cysts from exposure to our waters. Coastkeeper said our worsening water quality scores may be related to the drought we’ve been in for the last three years. Our normal rainfall is 10.34 inches a year. For the last three years, it’s averaging 7.77. This means pollutants and bacteria have less flushing and more time to build up to higher levels. The lower water levels and higher water temperatures facilitate the bacterial growth process. California State Parks recently put out a brochure describing how the park system is preparing for expected global warming. Global warming may also worsen water quality locally because it will further warm our waters and through evaporation, further lower water levels. Coastkeeper also studied each watershed for individual problems.

Tijuana watershed has a ‘poor’ rating.

n San Luis Rey watershed, which uses the San Luis Rey River and flows out to the ocean near Oceanside Harbor, showed problems with water pH being too acidic and having low oxygen levels. n Carlsbad watershed, which is fueled by Escondido Creek and drains into San Elijo Lagoon, had high levels of nitrates and a substantial amount of algae bloom. n San Dieguito watershed flows down the San Dieguito River and out to the sea next to the Del Mar racetrack. It measured high in ammonia and phosphorus, and

excess turbidity or sedimentation. n Los Peñasquitos watershed, using Peñasquitos Creek, flows out into the ocean at Torrey Pines State Beach. This year it dropped from a “Good” rating to “Fair.” There have been problems with breakdowns at the sewer pump station in the upper part of the estuary and with silting over of the mouth of the lagoon, which allows waters in the estuary to stand stagnant for long periods. n San Diego watershed, which uses the San Diego River, flowing out to the sea near

Shannon Switzer

Ocean Beach, dropped two levels from “Good” to “Marginal” this year and showed high levels of phosphorus and ammonia, as well as lowered levels of oxygen. n Pueblo watershed ends up as Chollas Creek, which drains into San Diego Bay next to 32nd Street Naval Station. Chollas Creek is fueled by urban runoff and was found to have a high content of phosphorus and ammonia due to fertilizers and pesticides. n Sweetwater watershed, fueled by Sweetwater Creek and draining into the bay near Pepper Park, had very low levels of oxygen, which threatens all life in the creek. n Otay watershed, which uses the Otay River and flows into the south bay at Imperial Beach, had high bacteria levels. n Tijuana watershed makes use of the Tijuana River and flows out to the ocean just south of Imperial Beach through the Tijuana Estuary. This watershed had very low scores in all test categories. Consequently, when it rains, the ocean waters become very polluted near Imperial Beach. Coastkeeper said the responsibility for water quality rests with all of us. Urban runoff or rainwater, which passes over and through manmade areas such as lawns, gardens, roads and buildings, is the chief cause of pollution. We can help by not using fertilizers and insecticides on lawns and gardens, and making sure our vehicles are not leaking any fluids onto streets or driveways. On a larger scale, the building industry needs to find more ways to design building complexes that trap rainwater and recycle or reuse it rather than letting it run over properties and out to the sea. u

YOUR MOUTH:

TALES IT COULD TELL ABOUT YOUR HEALTH We all are familiar with the song we learned in childhood about how all the parts of the body are connected. The familiar lyrics and melodies of the skeleton dance song, “the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone and the thigh bone is connected to the hip bone”, make us realize early on that our bodies are one complicated and interconnected system. Today, we understand that the relations of the body’s parts and systems are intimately connected, and operate as a spectacular symphony so complex that even the most educated scientists and doctors are in awe of their wonder. Our oral health and overall health are also intimately related and connected. For many years, research has shown that periodontal disease can adversely affect and further complicate many systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, and has even been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. We also know that uncontrolled systemic diseases can negatively affect the oral environment. Millions of Americans show signs of periodontal disease, which is a chronic bacterial infection in the tissues surrounding the teeth that leads to gum inflammation and eventual bone loss. As periodontal disease progresses, bacterial enzymes break down gum tissue, and as a result, the bacteria enters the body’s circulatory system. This oral bacteria can worsen pre-existing medical conditions and disease processes. The relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes is a great concern for patients, as medical doctors and dentists alike understand the interplay that each has with the other. In general, diabetes can lower your resistance to infection and slow the body’s healing process. Diabetes, when not controlled, has a negative effect on gum health. Patients with inadequate blood sugar control seem to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely than those who have good control of their diabetes. In addition, periodontal disease has been shown to exacerbate a patient’s diabetic symptoms by creating a situation in which blood glucose levels are more difficult to maintain. This can be a vicious cycle, which in turn affects every other organ that is at risk in diabetics such as the heart, eyes, skin, lungs, nerves, kidneys and so on. In addition to affecting diabetes, oral bacteria can play a role in cardiovascular disease by causing inflammation throughout the body and in arteries. This inflammation can contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque, thus increasing the likelihood of heart attack and stroke. Changes in hormone levels during pregnancy can increase gum tissue inflammation. Left uncontrolled, this pregnancy induced gingivitis can lead to periodontal disease, putting mothers at greater risk of having pre-term births and low birth weight babies. The theory is that toxins released by oral bacteria can reach the placenta and interfere with the development and growth of the fetus. All evidence points to the fact that keeping our mouths as clean and as free of harmful bacteria as possible can reap huge benefits that extend far beyond our mouths. We know now that a little prevention goes a long way… not just in preventing cavities and gum issues, but also by potentially avoiding much more serious health conditions in the future. Be proactive! Always brush, floss, and make sure you are diligent about your routine dental check-ups and cleanings.

Spotlight on Local

Aesthetic Center of La Jolla: New face, new you without surgery By Marti Gacioch raditional invasive facial surgery is not the only way to improve facial appearance or repair skin damage. Dr. Roy David, MD, FACS, is expertly trained in many new medical alternative technological treatments for improving skin and appearance. Dr. David, a board certified facial plastic surgeon and medical director of the Aesthetic Center of La Jolla, established his medical spa 10 years ago to offer patients these new nonsurgical treatments. The center specializes in new medical technology, including ultrasound devices and radio frequency devices to rejuvenate skin by tightening loose skin and providing people with long lasting results. Injectable fillers are used to add volume to the face, and by doing a combination of volumizing and tightening the skin and deeper tissues, long lasting results are achieved that can hold off the need for surgical intervention. His nurses use Botox to relax wrinkles and prevent deepening facial lines and perform medium-depth chemical peels and medical grade facials (1-3 days recovery time). While there may be flaking and exfoliation, some patients can return to work immediately, while others prefer to take time off to allow the skin to recover. The center also offers laser hair removal and photo facials to remove red spots and brown spots with no down time, and Exilis (radio frequency) for skin tightening and/or fat reduction.

Dr. Roy David

Ultherapy (advanced ultrasound device) is used to tighten the deep layers of tissue over the facial muscles and can cause lifts and tighten the face. Vanquish (advanced radio frequency device) can reduce fat noninvasively over the stomach and love handles in 30 minutes. Dr. David has performed thousands of procedures, but facelift is his most requested surgery, including his new La Jolla lift procedure, which has been featured on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Doctors.â&#x20AC;? Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is also popular. Dr. David primarily has female patients, but more men want facial procedures because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying in business longer and want to look as good as they feel. Patients range in age from people in their mid 20s to 70s. Young adults with sun damage come in to correct brown or red spots, which is easily done with fractional laser peels and micro grade chemical peels or micro dermabrasion. Dr. David is a graduate of UCSD and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. u n Free consultations are available by contacting Dr. Roy David, MD, FACS; Aesthetic Center of La Jolla, 3252 Holiday Court, Suite 206, La Jolla.

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL

Three matters of concern in the Village

hree blighted sites in our Village of La Jolla need attention: 1) The wooden railing along Coast Boulevard is way beyond “distressed.” 2) There is an unsafe and unsightly sidewalk trip hazard on Silverado Street east of Girard Avenue — near Union Bank. 3) Our bus stop on Silverado Street (also behind Union Bank) is filthy. Residents, as well as tourists and students use the buses, so can’t we get a decent, clean bus stop? u Rita Alanis

n Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators. E-mail the scenarios and attach a photo, or call us and we’ll investigate who or what is Tarnishing Our Jewel! Reach Editor Susan DeMaggio at (858) 875-5950 or e-mail editor@lajollalight.com

You can’t rest on this bench!

here is a bench along Coast Walk Trail that has been in disrepair for quite a while. It needs new wood for the bench seat and back, and some clearing out of the overgrowth. The bench is located about 200 yards from the trail entrance on Prospect Street (next to 7905 Prospect). It’s a shame no one can sit and enjoy the spectacular view! u Jim Stewart

OBITUARIES

Nancy M. Bentley 1935 – 2015

Our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother passed away at home after a long illness. An only child, she was the daughter of Anna and Gordon McNeilly. She grew up in Brookline, MA, and graduated from Brookline High School, where she met her future husband, Alan. She earned her Bachelor’s degree at Tufts University in 1956 and, newly married, moved to La Jolla. Shortly after they bought a home Alan joined the Navy Reserve as a pilot based at NAS Los Alamitos in Seal Beach. He flew one weekend a month and usually landed at NAS Miramar on Saturday night, spent the night at home, and returned Sunday morning. In those days the stoplight at Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Shores Drive was the last light until the airfield, and

Nancy drove dark, winding Miramar Road with one and then two small children until she knew it by heart. She volunteered at La Jolla Elementary School, Mission Bay High, and La Jolla Presbyterian Church, and she served at Scripps Hospital as a Pink Lady. She taught at Francis Parker School, substituted in English at The Bishops School, and tutored many in English and writing. Nancy defined herself in part by literature and music. She earned her Master’s degree from San Diego State in 1993 after writing a thesis on Edmund Spenser’s “The Faerie Queene.” She learned Latin when young and Greek in her Master’s program. She loved libraries, bookstores, and the employees and patrons of both. Trips to John Coles, Warwick’s, and DG Wills were outings. She and Alan listened to classical music and attended the theater citywide; the Athenaeum’s programs were among her favorites. She left a houseful of books and memories about movies and shows. Nancy made her home a welcoming stop for friends, neighbors, and teenagers. There was math studied at the dining room table and Scouts crowding the station wagon. She made lunches, dinners, and quesadillas; she had her

grandmother’s recipes for cakes and cookies. When Princess Diana married in 1981, she hosted a party for a dozen in daughter Charlotte’s Bishops School class, and they watched the pageantry on TV all night. She had a succession of dogs and cats with distinctive and lovable personalities. Boston and the Northeast were home, and Nancy regularly visited her cousin Dode, aunt Alice, and uncle Mieth Maeser in Beverly, MA. She enjoyed vacations throughout the Northeast and the Maritimes. In her Yankee accent you could hear lobsters and fried clams, concerts at Tanglewood, “The House of the Seven Gables,” and the Boston swan boats. Nancy is survived by Alan, her husband of 58 years; daughter, Charlotte; son, Scott (Leslie); and grandchildren, Annalise and Andrew. A memorial service will be held on Friday, April 24, 2015, at 2:00pm at the La Jolla Presbyterian Church Chapel. In lieu of flowers, please donate to one of Nancy’s favorite charities, the Humane Society. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

William A. Corbett 1922 – 2015

William Alexander Corbett, born in Chicago, IL, February 14, 1922, died March 4, 2015, in Pinehurst, NC, he was the son of Winifred and Albert Corbett. He attended Coe College where he was president of his fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon. From there he went directly into the U.S. Army (1944). As a first lieutenant, he trained Chinese troops before being reassigned to Merrill’s Marauders as a platoon leader in Myitkina, Burma. Severely wounded while on patrol, he returned to the U.S. to recuperate. In December of 1944 he married his college sweetheart, Letha Mae Taylor. They celebrated their 70th anniversary last year. From 1946 to 1963 he was a stockbroker with

Hornblower and Weeks in Chicago. Then, for reasons of health, he took up cattle ranching in Arkansas. From 1965 until his early retirement in 1973 he served as Resident Manager of the San Diego office of Hornblower and Weeks-Hemphill, Noyes. He subsequently entered the real estate business, launching his own company, W. A. Corbett and Associates. His clients were offered the unique service of both real estate and securities investment guidance. Mr. Corbett was past president of the Torrey Pines (CA) Rotary, served as a trustee at Chapman College, and was Director and Chairman of the Finance Committee at Disciples Seminary. Active in church affairs, he was an Elder at Deerfield (IL) Presbyterian Church and Heber Springs (AR) Presbyterian Church, and Elder, Trustee and Chairman at Torrey Pines Christian Church. He was an avid yachtsman and held a master’s license with the US Coast Guard; was a member of the San Diego Yacht Club; and was Captain of the San Diego Ocean Racing Fleet in 1972. In 1988 he joined Bravo Adventures as a director and established a sea division titled “Bravo at Sea.” He captained the

vessel “Argonauta” on sea voyages for troubled youth from the honor camp in Campo, CA. After retiring from ocean racing, he took up lawn bowling, first in California and then at the Pinehurst Lawn Bowls Club, Pinehurst, NC. Teaching novices the finer points of lawn bowling brought him much pleasure late in life. Mr. Corbett is survived by his wife, Letha (Taylor) Corbett of Pinehurst, NC; four daughters, Linda Macdonald of Winter Park, FL, Louise Miller of Pine Valley, CA, Jean Fowler of Covington, GA, and Joan Hilsman of Aberdeen, NC; three sons-in-law; fifteen grandchildren; and seventeen greatgrandchildren, all of whom will miss him dearly.

La Jolla Cove was recently rated the No. 6 Best Beach in the USA by Trip Advisor — and the only California beach in the Top 10. That means hundreds of international tourists are there everyday, locals swim to the mile markers from daylight to dark daily, children play and snorkel in the shallow areas near the beach with the beautiful small fish … and the huge, 800-pound bull sea lions whom are mating! Sea lion excrement and left-over afterbirth can carry disease to humans and stinks so bad people are walking with their noses covered as they slip and slide through pools of blood, afterbirth and excrement that is everywhere from the entrance stairs to the Cove to the sand on the beach (I’ve seen strings of blood vessels from afterbirth swaying through the surf there), to the cliffs over the east side of the Cove, where the city opened the gate so people could mix with the sea lions there. Nobody has even tried to clean any of these areas for many months. People are directed by open gates, pathways, stairs and signs placed by the city to visit all of these areas. This alone makes the city responsible for anything that can adversely affect these people. The reason for the problems affecting this beautiful place is the alarming rate of growth in the sea lion population at the Cove. It has increased at least tenfold in the last 10 years, so much so that the overpopulation has overridden the food supply and many sea lions (especially the younger ones) are starving to death! Sea lion starvation has been increasing at an alarming rate, as well. SeaWorld has closed its sea lion show so trainers can tend to the rescued sea lions, and new tanks had

to be erected to support them. What happens in the food chain when there are dead or emancipated sea lions everywhere? Sharks will begin to show up in abundance. The higher population of the first sharks to enjoy the fruitful sea lion bounty will cause the sharks to have their own shark population explosion. Where is the area for great white shark breeding/birthing in San Diego? Scripps Canyon, which has tributaries coming from La Jolla Cove itself starting at 40 feet of water, and wraps around La Jolla Shores to Black’s Beach. Baby Great Whites have been caught in gill nets there, and scientists have documented this. What happens when there are more sharks near beaches where there are dying sea lions? Humans are mistaken for sea lions, attacked and eaten, as the sharks become more agitated and begin to frenzy, caused by the smell of sea lion excrement, afterbirth and blood, and dead or emancipated sea lions. Sharks can sense all of these from a mile away as the odor and electrical nerve pulses of humans and sea lions run down into the tributaries of Scripps Canyon. The laws of nature will come into play unless we intercede like we do with deer, rabbits and other overpopulating animals. We must take the sea lions away to remote places where there is more food for them, like Peru. (Sea lions have been known to return a thousand miles after being relocated.) What happens when shark attacks on humans occur in San Diego? Tourists and potential residents will not come here at all, since they were coming for the beaches. You cannot ignore the laws of nature.

POLL OF THE WEEK at lajollalight.com

Cove stench part ‘n’ parcel of tourist trade

n Last week’s question and poll results:

I read with interest the headline of the April 2 La Jolla Light: “Judge: City not liable for Cove odor.” The article is fascinating in its details and for the associated ironies. I grew up in La Jolla in the 1940s and ’50s, a time when sea lions and seals were rare to see. There was no underwater reserve protecting marine flora and fauna near the Cove and no Marine Mammal Protection Act to protect sea lions and seals. Sea lions and seals were commercially hunted for dog food throughout California waters, and fishermen shot at any sea lion trying to steal a hooked fish. We kids were excited to see any living marine mammal near the coast. There were far fewer people living in La Jolla in those years. Fewer visitors came to La Jolla, too, and Prospect Street was devoid of cars after dark. Recently on a Sunday evening, I walked from Casa Beach (aka Children’s Pool) past the Cove and Goldfish Point to the footbridge near the eastern end of Coast Walk. People looking at the ocean, seals, sea lions and sea birds thronged the sidewalk and path, marveling at the natural scene and the wealth of wildlife. The street down past the Cove was jammed with cars seemingly in gridlock. Walking past Brockton Villa Restaurant, the smell of environmental health (aka guano) pervaded the air and while a few visitors held their noses here, many others aimed their cameras at the sea lions. I suspect that George’s

restaurant and the others in the vicinity had no lack of business that evening. La Jolla is now known for its coastal wildlife and thus has become an ecotourism destination. The visitors I saw on that evening walk had their clothes on and wallets in their pockets. Many of them came to shop and dine as well as to look at the coastal wildlife. On days when the smell of bird guano and sea lion excrement wafts ashore, merchants and restaurateurs would do well to remember what attracts so many visitors to the town. Sea lions are now occupying the sand of the Cove beach on a regular basis. Could it be that they feel threatened by the odd effects or lack of smell created by the spraying of “microbial foam” on the rocky bluffs below Red Roost and Brockton Villa? The city’s argument that the smell of guano is among the risks and benefits of being located adjacent to a marine environment is simply common sense, and the few individuals who wish to have the city control every aspect of our coastal wildlife habitat need to rethink their demands. u Jim Hudnall n Letters to the Editor for publication should be 250 words or less, and sent by e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com and must include the full name of the sender, city of residence and phone number for verification.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

Fisherman allegedly bit and yanked off boat by sea lion

62-year-old man was bitten by a sea lion Easter Sunday, April 5, and pulled into the water at Mission Bay, San Diego Fire-Rescue officials confirmed to La Jolla Light. The man, reportedly posing with his prize catch after a long day fishing, was taken by surprise when a sea lion leapt from the water onto the railing of his boat, which was docked at Hyatt Mission Bay Marina. While attempting to secure the fish in its teeth, the marine mammal allegedly bit the man and pulled him into the water. The man said he was dragged to the bottom of the bay before he was able to free himself and rise to the surface. He was taken to a nearby hospital, suffering from cuts to his hands and arms, Fire-Rescue Department spokesperson Lee Swanson said. The incident happened at about 3:30 p.m. in water about 20-feet deep.

“A Night with the Aztecs”

Vikings baseball thrives during March tourneys By Ashley Mackin La Jolla High School varsity baseball team opened the 2015 season by winning the Bully’s East Tournament for the first time in the 11 years the school has competed in the nonleague tournament. Bully’s East started March 10, with La Jolla’s Vikings taking win after win (and one loss) to make it to the championship game against Santa Fe Christian, March 21. La Jolla High School defeated Santa Fe Christian, 9-7. Santa Fe Christian overcame a 5-1 Viking lead by scoring six runs in the fourth inning to make it 7-5. But the Vikings rallied right back in the sixth inning with a two-RBI single by Sean Hofmann and a home run by Thomas Zlatic, bringing the score up to 8-7. James Whelan drove in an insurance run in the seventh to seal the deal at 9-7. Weston Clark and Tim Holdgrafer were named the tournament’s coMVPs. Clark had a 1.56 ERA and Holdgrafer hit 421 throughout the tournament with six RBIs and four stolen bases. Zlatic was also commended for his excellent hitting, including two doubles and four RBIs. Coach Gary Frank praised the Vikings for their “resiliency in coming back to get the victory after a very good Santa Fe Christian team took the lead.” The Vikings continued their winning streak into the first half of the March 23-27 City Conference Tournament – defeating Mira Mesa 5-1 and Patrick Henry 6-0, before losing to Scripps Ranch 4-3. The City Conference Tournament resumed April 6, with a Championship game April 11. The City Conference Tournament is split into the two parts to accommodate the Lions Tournament, “the biggest high school baseball tournament in the country,” said Coach Frank that always occurs the week before Spring Break. During the March 30-April 2 Lions Tournament, the Vikings defeated Mission Hills 5-0, Birmingham 10-4 and Patrick Henry 2-1. On April 2, La Jolla took on Desert Oasis High School, but lost 10-3.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - April 9, 2015 - Page A31

Half Marathon/5K registration on through April 22 By Christine Adams Now in its 34th year, the annual La Jolla Half Marathon will come to the streets of La Jolla on Sunday, April 26. The event is a community favorite and truly a Southern California classic. The 13.1-mile point-to-point course starts 7:30 a.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and travels along the Del Mar coastline before reaching the ascent into Torrey Pines State Park. After passing the summit, runners continue along North Torrey Pines Road to drop into La Jolla Shores where racers complete their final miles, winding their way toward La Jolla Cove. Spectators line Coast Boulevard, cheering runners into the picturesque finish where racers are greeted with a beautiful finisher medal, food bag and plenty of high-fives. Celebration will be plentiful at the Finish Festival in Scripps Park where participants reunite with friends and family while relaxing to the Polynesian rhythms of Semisi and FulaBula in front of a gorgeous ocean backdrop.

A complimentary Ballast Point beer awaits those ages 21 and older in the beer garden, along with snacks from Jose’s Court Room and tunes from a local DJ. The finish festival in Scripps Park is open to the public and offers an opportunity to check out local vendors while listening to music in an inspiring atmosphere of La Jolla Half Marathon finishers! More than 7,000 runners are expected to participate in this scenic race and net proceeds will benefit the youth, senior and community programs of the La Jolla Kiwanis Foundation. The event also includes the La Jolla Shores 5K, which starts at a Jolla Shores Drive near the Scripps Pier and finishes in the Cove. The La Jolla Half Marathon is the second race in the three-part ViaSat Half Marathon Triple Crown series, a challenge involving a trio of scenic Southern California half marathons. Online race registration is open until April 22, and includes a technical fabric race shirt, cinch bag and more. For further information, visit lajollahalfmarathon.com u

M ighty Kaiden Marouf and Mitch Coleman begin to prepare their winning chili recipe.

La Jolla Scouts cook up first-prize chili at Camporee

“C

hef” Mitch Coleman and assistant “chef” Kaiden Marouf won first prize for their chili at the annual San Diego-Imperial County Boy Scout Spring Camporee March 13-15 on Fiesta Island. Fifteen troops each sent a pair of Scout chefs to compete in the camp cooking contest. Rules called for each team to be provided with basic chili ingredients, with one “surprise” ingredient supplied by the chefs. Three volunteers judged the chili based on aroma, presentation, appearance and taste. First, second and third place awards were given out. Chef duos were given the following ingredients, and Coleman’s secret ingredient was 24 ounces of pork chorizo: 2 pounds of ground beef, 1 onion, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 cans of kidney beans, 3 cans of diced tomatoes and 1.5 tablespoons of chili powder. Here is the winning chili recipe: Use the ingredients above, plus: 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Method: Cook the chorizo in a frying pan. When done, put in stew pot. Save the grease to cook the ground beef. Add the ground beef to the same fry pan you used to cook the chorizo. When done, transfer beef to stew pot. Save the grease to cook the onions. Dice the onions and cook in the pan that cooked the chorizo and ground beef. When onions become translucent, place in stew pot with the chorizo and ground beef. Drain the kidney beans and place in the stew pot. Put the tomatoes in the stew pot, with half of their juice. Add the spices. Stir. Bring to a boil. Turn down to simmer and simmer for 45 minutes. Taste and add more spices as needed. Garnish with Fritos, sour cream, shredded cheddar and cilantro. u — Sandra Punta

Let Inga Tell You

Revenge of the yellow reading group

La Jolla Cultural Partners

hen my friend’s 31- and 29-yearold sons want to disparage their 21-year-old sister’s intelligence, they’ll note, “Well, you were, after all, in the yellow reading group.” The brothers are quick to remind her that they were both in the blue reading group in grade school, the best readers. Honestly, the reading group you’re assigned to in first grade can haunt you for life. I’m 67 and I don’t remember what reading group I was in but I do know it wasn’t the bluebirds, the top one. Which brings us to ask: What is it about the color blue that they’re always the good readers? True to form, when my sons were in first grade, the advanced readers basked in the blue group, middle readers were relegated to the yellow group, the sucky readers sentenced to red. Suffice to say, the kids were clear which group was which (Brilliant/Average/Braindead), and more to the point, by day two of school, the parents were, too. Much gnashing of teeth and calls to the teacher ensued with entreaties to move little Quentin to the blue reading group where he clearly belonged. Unsaid: Do we look like people who breed yellow reading group children?

A child of Quentin’s obvious talents needed to be challenged! It was beneath his dignity to be associated with yellow — or God forbid red — readers who would only pull him down to their level. (They probably didn’t wash either.) It was not like this just impacted the kid. You could already see the blue reading group parents getting chummy with each other and next thing you know they’ll have dinner parties and not invite you, and your child will be black, er, blue-listed from play dates. Day 2 of school and the wheat’s already been separated from the chaff. I confess that I did have my moments of blue reading group angst. But I also reminded myself that neither Olof nor I were academic balls of fire in our early years. Olof, in fact, was labeled an “accelerated non-achiever” in grade school, a label that puzzled his parents for years. Did this mean he was gifted but not achieving? Or gifted AT non-achieving? Regardless, he was not achieving. But somewhere along the way, he managed to up his game and ultimately achieved a degree in nuclear physics from Cal Tech. Sighed his mother (age 93) recently, “If only we could have known.”

I wasn’t exactly an academic barnburner either. I was the blond sheep in a family of brunette geniuses. My family has never let me forget coming home from the public library after researching my first term paper in seventh grade and announcing sagely, “Ibid sure wrote a lot of stuff!” My voraciously reading siblings were definitely bluebirds. (I think I may have been a puffin.) While I was never identified as having learning disabilities, I learned only recently that I had one. I wasn’t good at learning things by hearing them; I always had to see it to remember it. In college, I would leave lectures without being able to tell you virtually a single thing the professor said but would then transcribe the notes I’d frantically scribbled and know the material cold. A few months ago, a friend was telling me that her granddaughter had been diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder: she was poor at processing what she heard. Lo, these many years later, did I finally have an excuse for not being in the blue reading group? OK, probably not, but it was worth a try. For the record, my older son was in the red group, and my younger son was in the yellow. Despite concerns that failure to be in the blue reading group in first grade dooms a child’s adult options to a career in coal mining (or worse, a lesser state university) both have been completely selfsupporting (and not in coal mining) since graduating from college. Where was the crystal ball when you needed it? My 21-year-old yellow reading group neighbor is slated to graduate from college in June. Both of her older brothers, despite

being blue reading groupers, managed not to graduate on time due to some unfortunate miscalculation of required credits — information that both of them failed to determine until their folks were literally in their car en route to commencement ceremonies. Folks were not pleased. But the impending graduate swears to them that she is not going to follow in her brothers’ footsteps in this regard. The sibs may have been early readers, she notes, but she can actually add. The folks will not be driving to her graduation and getting the same phone call that they got two previous times. At this point, it’s personal, she said, and she’s already made it the theme of her graduation weekend: The Revenge of the Yellow Group Reader. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light.

North Coast Repertory Theatre

Actors use ‘Unnecessary Farce’ to bring on the laughs By Diana Saenger any entertainment awaits those who go see the award-winning comedy “Unnecessary Farce” by Paul Slade Smith on stage at North Coast Repertory Theatre through May 10. With more than 155 productions to date, the show has received glowing reviews — “dazzlingly funny,” “unrelentingly funny plot” and “funniest two hours of theater I have seen in several years.” Director Matthew Wiener said the run at NCRT would mark its San Diego premiere. Playscript.com summarizes the plot this way: In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. “Since I have directed several NCRT comic farces, like ‘Lend Me A Tenor’ and ‘Perfect Wedding,’ artistic director David Ellenstein asked if I would direct ‘Unnecessary Farce,’” Wiener said. “I love working on this kind of material. These plays are so fun and I love making audiences laugh. This play has wonderful performers, some I’ve worked with before,

Christopher Williams (back), Jacque Wilke and Jessica John (center), and David McBean (front) star in Paul Slade Smith’s ‘Unnecessary Farce’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre through May 10. Aaron Rumley

which is really grand.” The cast includes: Ted Barton (Mayor Meekly), Dagmar Krause Fields (Mary Meekly), Jessica John (Karen Brown), David McBean (Todd), John Nutten (Agent Frank), Jacque Wilke (Officer Billie Dwyer) and Christopher M. Williams (Officer Eric Sheridan). “A good farce well done is demanding and requires a lot from its actors throughout the entire production,” Wiener said. “It requires plenty of musicality to get all the rhythms right. The amount of repetition necessary to get the timing locked down, and the precision required of the actors, can be draining. Actors have to rehearse very hard and there’s no room for alteration. You’ll see some of the best actors in San Diego in this show. “In our world today, being able to spend a few hours laughing and having a good time is very important. Farce has roots in both the French and English stage, and the plots are full of variations, like mistaken identities or who’s in bed with whom. But when it’s done well, audiences of all ages walk out feeling great.” u n IF YOU GO: “Unnecessary Farce” runs April 15-May 10 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Symphony Passport Series

Latin-American superstar singer comes to San Diego By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt he latest (and hottest!) performer in San Diego Symphony’s International Passport Series, which has included Chinese acrobats, Argentine tango dancers, Russian ballet and the Vienna Boys Choir, is superstar singer/songwriter Lila Downs, soaring into Copley Symphony Hall with her back-up band, La Misteriosa, Friday, April 17. She may not be a household name here, but this daughter of a Mixtec Indian singer and a Minnesota art professor has made a name for herself in World Music with her soulful renditions of Latin-American songs. Born in the state of Oaxaca, and partly raised in Minnesota and California, she has won both Latin and American Grammys, and has been featured at international jazz festivals, the Latino Inaugural Ball for President Obama, the opening ceremonies for the 2011 Pan American Games and the 2012 Latin Grammys on Univision. She had a small but notable part as the Tango Singer in Julie Taymor’s 2012 film “Frida,” and sang one of the songs from that score at the 75th Academy Awards show. And maybe we should mention that her look is as gorgeous as her sound? Lila Downs’ unique style is a rich mix of the traditional music of Mexico with touches of jazz, blues, country, hip-hop and flamenco. She considers herself a social activist — singing out on behalf of indigenous people, compassionate human connections and the environment. Downs has previously 2014 NINE-TEN Chef of the Year Ad.pdf 1 07/22/2014

If you’ve never heard Lila Downs before, now would be a great time. You can expect passionate protest songs, upbeat folk tunes, lush ballads. It doesn’t matter if you understand the language; your body and soul will feel what she’s singing about. u n IF YOU GO: San Diego Symphony International Passport Series: Lila Downs performing with her band, La Misteriosa.

Although it is a smaller church with only 100 members, Mount Soledad Presbyterian Church has a large, active group of missionary programs.

Members broke ground on the Mount Soledad property for the church in 1963. Earlier services were held at the Hotel Del Charro in La Jolla Shores!

The school is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. It welcomes children of all faiths but teaches from a distinctly Christian perspective, according to Rev. Moser, who enjoys spending time with the preschool children Wednesday mornings, singing songs and telling stories. Mount Soledad’s third way of realizing its vision is sending its people to benefit the community in which they are called. Although Mount Soledad is a smaller church, with approximately 100 members, it has an extensive outreach, with a large, active group of missionary programs.

“We are very local and have a small church feel for good relationships, and yet we are also very global — sending missionaries to six countries,” Rev. Moser said. The church’s many missions range from San Diego and Mexico to several countries around the world. In the past 50 years, the church has sent out more than 50 longterm missionaries and more than 13 percent of the church budget has been used to support them and mission agencies, according to Art Miley, a member since 1979 and author of “Under the Shadow of the Cross,” a history of Mount Soledad Presbyterian. Through the Homes of Hope program, the church has built 60 homes in the Ensenada

hospitality and with Jesus. We equip people with the tools of spiritual growth to grow in the places God has called them to flourish — in their families and their vocational work. And we send them into mission and ministry.” For inviting and equipping members, the church offers a wide variety of worship services and internal ministries. Regular services are held Sundays at 10 a.m. During the Sunday service, the church provides nursery care for infants and children to age 3 and Sunday school for older children up to the fifth-grade level. The youth ministry also meets Sundays at 10 a.m. For those

who enjoy additional Bible study, Rev. Moser leads a class before service on Sundays from 8:40 to 9:40 a.m. There is also a drop-in healing prayer session Sundays at 6 p.m. There are social groups for members of all ages, including young adults, young families, women, men and seniors. “We are really committed to helping young families flourish,” said Rev. Moser. The Young Families Fellowship held at the church on Tuesday nights includes a buffet dinner and gives parents a muchneeded break, explained Rev. Moser. The evening also includes a children’s program and parenting classes for adults. The Little Steps Preschool, which opened

When hotel guests objected to the early Sunday morning hymn singing, the congregation moved to the Pacific Beach Women’s Club across from Kate Sessions Park. In 1963, early members broke ground on the Mount Soledad property. They held their first service in the new church a few months later and in April 1964 — five years to the day from the first announcement — their formal dedication. In 2001, the original building was gutted and completely renovated. Beginning Easter Sunday, Mount Soledad linked up with “A.D. The Bible Continues,”

an NBC television series airing at 9 p.m. Sundays. The church’s morning service will include a short film clip about that night’s episode. The series is especially important today, Rev. Moser believes, because 1) It portrays the message behind the early Christian movement of “love, non-violence and valuing people as creations of God” and 2) It re-enforces the need to stand for what you believe as a persecuted group — whether against the Romans in 33 A.D. or against ISIS in the Middle East today. Rev. Moser took over the helm of the church in May of 2007. He was born in Arcadia, California where as a teenager; he was part of the youth ministry of the local Presbyterian Church. He earned a bachelor’s

degree in English at UC Santa Barbara and a master’s of divinity at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. Since his ordination, he has served in several cities in California, including Diamond Bar, Fresno and Vacaville, where he planned a new church. He and his wife Jennifer have been married for 36 years and have two grown children — a daughter in nursing school and a married son with a daughter. Rev. Moser enjoys kayaking around Mission Bay and Point Loma and watching the dolphins, otters and seals. u n Up Next: La Jolla Light’s Faith Communities series continues April 23 with Chabad of La Jolla.

Athenaeum exhibit celebrates 2014 San Diego Art Prize winners By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt or the past nine years, the San Diego Art Prize, funded by San Diego Visual Arts Network, has been awarded annually to two established artists, each of whom gets to choose an emerging artist to also receive the award. The Art Prize committee, including Patricia Frischer of SDVAN, Ann Berchtold of Art San Diego, art collector Debra Poteet and Erika Torri, executive director of the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, choose winners from a list of nominees by visual arts professionals and former Art Prize recipients. By the end of 2015, they will have distributed $56,000 in awards to 36 artists. Recent artworks by 2014 prize-winners, established artists Marianela de la Hoz and Philipp Scholz Rittermann and their handpicked mentees, Bhavna Mehta and Joseph Huppert, are on view at the Athenaeum through May 2. This year, for the first time, there are collaborative works by the two pairs of artists — photographic installations by Rittermann and Huppert, and two beautifully cut, drawn and embroidered paper pieces by de la Hoz and Mehta. La Jollans may be familiar with Rittermann’s work: his large-scale photographs of China’s Grand Canal were shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2011, and in 2013, with Robert Irwin, he co-created La Jolla Mural No. 12 (‘The Real Deal’ in the parking lot of the former Jonathan’s Market). Huppert has been Irwin’s assistant since 2007, and is now working with Rittermann on new outdoor art “interventions.” Their curving, translucent, near-lifesize, photographic portrayal of the Athenaeum’s interior is a space-transforming eye-catcher. But there’s a special attraction to the small-scale pieces on display — the surreal drawings and paintings of de la Hoz, who combines a contemporary, darkly mischievous sense of humor with painstaking medieval technique, and the intricate, cut-paper constructions of Mehta, who puts her own, very personal spin on Indian folk art. “I draw with a knife, cutting paper to tell visual stories,” Mehta said. “My work is based on the idea that everything is connected.” At the March 27 reception, hundreds of art-lovers seemed to feel the connection, as they gathered to celebrate the winners and their work. Patricia Frischer announced the 2015 prizewinners: Wendy Maruyama and Roy McMakin. SDVisualArts.net

City replaces toppled Rec Center tree

orkers installed a 15-year-old Italian stone pine tree at La Jolla Rec Center March 27. It replaced a stone pine estimated to be about 100 years old, which toppled onto the Rec Center in August 2014. City of San Diego Park & Recreation area manager Mark Moncey said the tree cost about $2,000 (plus installation), was paid for by the city and was among the healthiest and most mature stone pines at Escondido-based Moon Valley Nursery. Installation had been delayed due to the amount of time it took to ground out the old tree’s stump and extensive root system, and concerns that the job not damage the Rec Center’s irrigation system, he said. “To plant a tree is to plant hope,” said Cindy Greatrex, vicepresident of La Jolla Parks & Recreation Inc. “We are honored to do so in the centennial year of the Rec Center, so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.” u

Surf club remembers late Scripps official

n Sunday, March 29, WindanSea Surf Club held a paddle-out memorial service for Dr. John Cherry, former Chief of Medical Staff for and chair of the Department of Surgery for Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla. Cherry, a former La Jolla resident who once lived atop Mount Soledad and loved surfing WindanSea Beach, died Feb. 10 at age 87.

“It was overwhelming,” said his daughter, Jean Kester (née Cherry). “It’s just really touching the way the community pulled together and showed its respect. The surf club went above and beyond helping our family do the memorial there. … A lot of the La Jolla folks showed who probably hadn’t seen my dad in many years. The boys paddled out and the waves were huge.” u

American Legion Post 275 to honor Carl Dustin April 16 By Jim Bittle and Herman Froeb The American Legion Post 275 will honor Carl Dustin for his service to the Post, his country, and to God, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16 during the post’s regular meeting at the La Jolla Shores Hotel. The event is open to friends and family. Dustin was born in San Diego in 1923 and has been a longtime resident of La Jolla. As a teenager during the Depression, he worked at a number of jobs but found time to achieve his Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts of America. In February 1943, Dustin joined the Navy and found his Eagle Scout training of great value as it shortened his basic training in Farragut, Idaho, from 10 months to three months. It was during one of his leaves that he met June Stein of La Jolla, who was to become the love of his life; they were married at the end of the war in 1946. During World War II, Dustin served as a Petty Officer 2nd Class on the destroyer escort USS Herzog, and the light cruiser USS Providence in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. After finishing his service to his country, he enrolled in San Diego State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in marketing. He joined a local sunglass and fashion accessory company of which he eventually became president and CEO. Carl and June had two children during

Courtesy Photos their (so far) 69 years of marriage. Over the years, his chief interest has been the Boy Scouts of America. He was Scoutmaster of Troop 595 for more than 10 years and is a recipient of the Scouters Key, the Silver Beaver Award and was a National Boy Scouts of America Jamboree Scoutmaster — all the highest awards in Scouting. Furthermore, he has trained some 20 Eagle Scouts in his troop over the last few decades. Dustin is an avid outdoorsmen serving as

president of the County Fish & Game Association (CFGA) and was elected as Sportsman of the Year. He and his wife are members of the La Jolla Presbyterian Church where he has taught the sixth-grade Sunday school for more than 23 years. After World War II, he joined the American Legion Post 6 in San Diego. After three years he transferred to Post 275 where he served as Commander for 10 years and Adjutant for 11 years — all during his 65

years of service. He has also served as vice president of the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial Association and designed many of the plaques on display. u n IF YOU GO: The American Legion meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16 at the La Jolla Shores Hotel, 8110 Camino Del Oro. Any friends of Carl and June who would like to attend may call for reservations at (619) 322-1866. Dinner is $20 including hotel parking.

Fired up: la Jolla residents react to unsafe roadway hazards It’s no surprise that so many people visit the city of La Jolla. As the crown jewel of San Diego, thousands of tourists visit our city each year thanks in part to our white sand beaches, distinctive shops and restaurants and festivals held year-round. Along with perpetual sun and glistening waters, it’s no wonder that so many people choose to vacation in our lovely city each year. The truth is that the veneer of La Jolla is a beautiful one; but scratch beneath the

surface and what’s revealed may surprise more than just the locals. In a wave of recent complaints, La Jolla residents have gotten fired up about their city. Potholes, overgrown shrubbery, uneven sidewalks and red light running have gotten locals talking – if not concerned for their own well-being. More than just conversation, these are real issues the city must deal with – and hopefully address – in order to make La Jolla a safer, cleaner and more enjoyable place. Check any of the local papers covering road repair or, dare I say, the La Jolla Cove, and it’s clear that the voices of La Jolla want to be heard. Do residents have a voice? Well, when it comes to traffic and pedestrian safety, the answer is yes. You can take action. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT LA JOLLA ROADWAY COMPLAINTS? While we empathize with residents over

the future of the La Jolla Cove, our main concern lies in the safety of our city’s roads and pedestrian walkways – especially as it relates to what residents have called unsafe conditions. Potholes, disintegrating roadways, uneven sidewalks and even red light running have run the gamut of complaints and each of these issues are concerning to us as car accident attorneys. The good news is that La Jolla residents can get in touch with city administrators to voice their concerns to prompt change. The bad news is that if voices are not heard, generally no change is implemented. If you’re a resident of La Jolla with knowledge of an unsafe roadway or pedestrian condition, here’s what you can do to bring the issue to light. POTHOLES AND BAD SIDEWALKS To report a pothole or bad sidewalk, call 619-527-7500 to notify San Diego street division for road and sidewalk repair division (the city of La Jolla does not have

its own road repair division). The same division can be contacted for open waste found in roadways or on sidewalks, leaky fire hydrants or overgrown shrubbery. It’s important to call and report the hazard as soon as possible to avoid a potential car accident or pedestrian threat such as a slip and fall or head injury due to uneven concrete paving. FALLEN TREES OR PUBLIC LANDSCAPE IN NEED OF CARE One resident wrote in to the La Jolla Light noting that a tree had fallen down after it had been excessively pruned by city employees. Although we certainly sympathize for the lost tree that had been decades old, the cause of our concern mainly lies in the potential danger of the tree falling on cars, people or houses.

Caprese with a Twist Try this riff on caprese salad with the creamy, dreamy low-lactose buffalo mozzarella. It’s so scrumptious, you’ll have a cow! n Ingredients: • 3 firm, but ripe, nectarines, sliced like a tomato • 1/2 pound of buffalo mozzarella, sliced in rounds • 1/4 cup virgin olive oil • 2 cups of balsamic vinegar • Handful of fresh tarragon leaves • Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper n Method: In a small saucepan, boil vinegar on medium heat until it thickens and reduces down (about 10 minutes). Set aside.

On a serving platter, alternate layers of cheese and nectarines. Tuck tarragon leaves under each slice, and sprinkle on top. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic reduction, and finish with salt and pepper.

Kitchen Shrink Catharine L. Kaufman

Solving culinary crises

nquiring readers want to know everything from putting the skids on pasty pasta to going on a quest for a lactose-free cheese. Your queries are now being answered.

Q: Is Buffalo Mozzarella lactose free? A: Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, traditional cheese made from the milk of the water buffalo near Naples, Italy (called buffalo mozzarella in these parts) is a soft delicate treat that dials up salads, pastas, sandwiches and flatbreads. Most cheeses (particularly aged ones) have only trace levels of lactose since this milk sugar is drained off in the liquid whey during the cheese making process. Although fresh cheeses like buffalo mozzarella contain more lactose than aged ones, as part of the lactose remains in the curd, the levels are still low (1.1 gram of lactose/100 grams of cheese). This amount can easily be tolerated by those with lactose sensitivities. Also, the lactose in buffalo milk tends to be lower than that in cow’s milk. Q: What does it mean to shock vegetables? A: So that cooked vegetables (usually green ones) stay crisp, crunchy and brightly colored after they are cooked, they are first blanched in a pot of boiling salted water, then soaked in an ice bath until cooled. This shocks or halts the cooking process so the veggies are done to perfection. Q: How can I fine-tune my baking skills so that my piecrusts are flaky, not chewy like pizza crusts? A: Go slow and steady when mixing your batters and doughs. Mixing flour too aggressively will activate the gluten protein, causing a firm and elastic texture to your baked goods. So don’t be heavyhanded whether using an electric mixer or food processor. Keep the speed on low, and don’t over blend. Q: I store tomatoes in the fridge, but they become soft and mushy in a day or two. How can this be prevented? A: Tomatoes are fragile fruits with delicate cells that get easily damaged by

cold temperatures that also break down the flavor-producing enzyme making them soft, mealy and insipid. This is a simple fix. Store tomatoes on a platter, single file on the kitchen counter away from direct sunlight for up to three days. If not used within this time, you must refrigerate. Q: How do I prevent my pasta from turning into a sticky ball of mush? A: After straining the pasta, toss it with a drizzle of sauce or olive oil to prevent clumping. If you won’t be eating for a while, rinse in cold water to remove any excess starch, and later reheat the pasta in the sauce. Q: How can you prevent cut avocadoes from turning brown? A: This super fruit has a store of healthy fats, minerals and vitamins from the stressbusting B’s, immune boosting C’s and skin healthy A’s and E’s to body balancing potassium, magnesium, copper and iron. But one flaw: they turn brown when exposed to the air thanks to an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase. While culinary wizards have suggested solutions, nothing is foolproof, so eat the avocado soon after cutting. Otherwise, try these tips: squirt with some lemon or lime juice, cover tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container with a half cut onion … and always leave the pit intact. Q: I bought a watermelon that refused to ripen even after two weeks in a large paper bag. Any suggestions? A: Certain fruits and vegetables continue to ripen after picking, while others should be ripe at the time of picking. No prodding, pampering, massaging or cajoling will further ripen them. When buying the latter, especially watermelons, citrus, cherries, peppers and grapes, make sure they are ripe before placing them in your grocery cart. To test for watermelon ripeness tap on it. If it has a nice, deep resonance, then it’s ripe. Also look for a creamy yellow belly. u — For more culinary tips, visit freerangeclub.com or e-mail kithcenshrink@san.rr.com

28 Willis Allen agents win Five Star award

illis Allen Real Estate announced that 28 of its agents have been named Five Star Award winners by Five Star Professional. These exemplary agents will appear in a special section of San Diego Magazine. Five Star Professional conducted research to find real estate agents who satisfy five objective eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with real estate agents who provide quality services to their clients. Fewer than 5 percent of real estate agents in San Diego were selected. “Willis Allen realtors are the best of the best, so I’m not surprised that we had such a high number of agents selected for this award,” Willis Allen president/CEO Andrew E. Nelson said. “Compassion, communication and integrity are the three things that we look for in Willis Allen realtors, and those are clearly characteristics that resonate with consumers who chose these agents for this award.” Five Star Award candidates were identified through nominations received by consumers. Survey recipients were asked to evaluate real estate agents with whom they have worked and evaluate them based upon ten criteria. Each award candidate was also reviewed for disciplinary actions, customer complaints and regulatory actions, as reported by regulatory agencies. u

Willis Allen realtors attend lux-home summit

n accomplished group of real estate professionals from 12 countries gathered in February in Las Vegas for the Luxury Portfolio SUMMIT. Participants included several realtors from Willis Allen Real Estate, which is an affiliate of Luxury Portfolio International. The event is an invitation-only affair hosted by Luxury Portfolio International, the luxury face of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. “Our exclusive affiliations with organizations like Luxury Portfolio International are one of the many things that set Willis Allen apart from other San Diego brokerages,” Willis Allen president/CEO Andrew E. Nelson said. “Our agents came away from the event with even more international connections and best practice ideas that will benefit our clients in the long run.” To learn more about Willis Allen Real Estate, the 100-year old family owned brokerage in San Diego, visit willisallen.com u — Press Release
