secures funding for 2015 fireworks
By Pat Sherman The organizer of La Jolla’s annual Independence Day fireworks, Deborah Marengo, is breathing a little easier after some early and much-needed assistance raising funds for this year’s event. David Marino and his firm, Hughes Marino (which represents commercial tenants in lease negotiations), donated $5,000 toward the event — further pledging $5,000 per year to fund the fireworks as long as he resides in La Jolla (something Marino has done quietly since 2008, when he first learned the event was threatened with cancellation due to a lack of funds). Marino secured $38,000 in commitments overall to pay for this year’s pyrotechnics display from friends and acquaintances — Light File news he shared during the April 8 monthly meeting of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) at Cuvier Club. “We sent an e-mail to hundreds of our neighbors and business associates and colleagues here in La Jolla, and through Deb’s efforts and the publicity around our e-mails, we were able to get the money together,” said Marino, who also secured $5,000 donations from restaurateur George Hauer of George’s at the Cove restaurant (who co-founded La Jolla’s fireworks and bankrolled the event for more than two decades); the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club; Willis Allen residential real estate brokerage; La Jollan Steve Black, and two anonymous donors, one of whom made the donation on behalf of his grandson and wished to be recognized as “Leo Loves Fireworks!” Longtime contributors La Valencia Hotel have pledged $3,000 toward this year’s event. An additional $10,000 in transient occupancy tax grant funding was received via the offices of the mayor and San Diego City Council president Sherri Lightner. For the past several years, as July 4 approached, Marengo announced she would have to cancel the fireworks due to a lack of funding — at first attributed to the economic See Fireworks, A9

‘Wish list’ sidewalk coming to Bird Rock
For at least 10 years, residents have wanted a sidewalk built where there is now a dirt path in front of Hermosa Park. Ashley Mackin
GREG NOONAN
By Ashley Mackin For at least 10 years, residents of Bird Rock have requested a sidewalk be built in front of La Jolla Hermosa Park, aka Rock Park. At the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting April 7 at Bird Rock Oyster and Sushi, city engineers announced the wish will be granted in the coming weeks. Project Engineer Jesus Garcia told the group a new concrete sidewalk will be installed on the ocean side of Chelsea Avenue in front of the park, where there is now a packed dirt path. Construction will start at the end of April or beginning of May and take 20 working days to complete. “This project has a long history in Bird Rock,” said meeting attendee Mike Costello. “Baby carriages can not go on the rocks very well, so (parents) walk their carriages into See Sidewalk, A14

The Top 5 Regrets after Buying a Home Buying a new home can feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster. sometimes buyers get caught up in the excitement and overlook important issues. Here are some regrets with possible ways to avoid them. 1) neighborhood: Come back at night before you purchase, and see if the area looks different. Check the crime reports. is this really the neighborhood you think it is? 2) access: How long is your commute? drive the route in busy times, not just a sunday afternoon. are there grocery stores and amenities you need nearby? 3) Parking and transportation: were you counting on a convenient bus? street parking? is it there? 4) renovations: remodeling is expensive. Buy a home you can live with while you complete renovations at your own pace. everything does not need to be done at once. 5) Price: many buyers feel they paid too much. some wish they had put down a larger deposit for a smaller monthly mortgage payment. also don’t get caught up in a bidding war with another buyer and get out of your comfort zone for a purchase price.

downturn and, later, because of litigation filed by Coast Law Group. The Encinitasbased firm sued over potential environmental impacts from the fireworks, making donors nervous about contributing to an event that might not take place, Marengo has said. Each year, by the time the city was ready to issue permits for the event, little money had been donated. Marino said he wants to avoid that “lastminute fire drill” and “passing of the hat” by establishing reserves for future fireworks. He is urging others to donate to this year’s event, and to create an account for future events. “This (fundraising) problem will be going on year after year … so I’d like to use this as an opportunity to build up a war chest,” Marino said. “Let’s raise another $30,000 to $40,000 that we don’t need (this year) so we’ve got some dry powder going in each year in case there is another recession in three to five years, in case we have people fall out.” LJVMA is partnering with Marengo and the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation to produce this year’s event. They are in discussions with the nonprofit La Jolla Town Foundation, which Marengo has used in previous years to receive fireworks donations so they will be taxdeductible. La Jolla Town Foundation would pay all fireworks vendors directly. Details on how to donate to fireworks shows at La Jolla Cove will be printed in a future edition of the Light. For more information, e-mail Marengo at dmarengo@san.rr.com

from the floor. For the chair position, newly elected member Karen Marshall nominated herself. “I have been very involved in my neighborhood with homeless (issues) and because I live on a street that is very narrow and people were parking on both sides I worked with the fire department to get one side converted to a fire lane,” she said of her local accomplishments. Also volunteering a statement, LaBeouf said, “I have no trouble representing the community, including business owners and residents … I’d be delegating a lot more than what has been done in the past, but with the support of such a strong board, I’m willing to step into this role.” After a show-of-hands vote, LaBeouf was
elected chair 11-4. Marshall also nominated herself for the vice-chair position, and following a similar process (sans candidate statements), Tschirn was re-elected to the vice-chair position, also by a 11-4 vote. Candidates for the remaining positions ran unopposed and were elected. Outgoing chair Tim Lucas, who sat as LJSA chair for two years, said, “It’s been a tremendous experience and very rewarding getting to know the membership and the community. There have been a lot of challenges with the construction (to replace sewer and water lines in La Jolla Shores) and being the community liaison, and as a board, trying to help our community as
much as we can. I’m going to miss being chair here … last year’s board was tremendous and this year’s board has some great new talent and I’m looking forward to great things from this board.” LaBeouf said he looks forward to being a LJSA point of contact for anyone with questions or concerns. “I’m happy to be the liaison for building trusting relationships (between the community and the board),” he said. He can be reached at (619) 508-6580.

The board elected 10 new members during its March meeting. An election committee, headed by member Pam Boynton, reached out to each board member to see if he or she desired an officer position, and five people responded, each with interest in one of the five available positions — leaving the committee with one recommendation for each position. The committee recommended SD Expeditions co-founder Nick LaBeouf for chair, current vice-chair and resident Susan Tschirn to continue as vice-chair, resident Jenny Feinberg for treasurer, resident Shahar Compton for recording secretary and Rusty Board House owner Angie Preisendorfer for corresponding secretary/membership chair.

Photos by Ashley Mackin Transportation (T&T) advisory group by Piatti restaurant manager Tom Spano and LJSA member Preisendorfer, the proposal seeks to make a temporary crosswalk configuration permanent and safer for pedestrians. A second component involves widening the sidewalk in front of Piatti restaurant on Avenida de la Playa to standard width by cutting back shrubbery in front of the property and filling the space with concrete. Installed eight years ago, but intended to be temporary and experimental, a 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. “I’d like to have that temporary fix made permanent, give it true curbs and bring it all the way out,” Spano said. City Council president Sherri Lightner’s representative, Justin Garver, said if the proposals were presented as a collective project addressing the sidewalk expansion and sidewalk extension, it would be added to the “extensive” list of Unfunded Sidewalk Needs and would “fight for funding with the other projects at the city.” LJSA member Lucas suggested the project be split into two parts and proposed separately to the city. To address the sidewalk expansion, Spano said he would discuss private funding with the Piatti corporate office. He hadn’t previously consulted them because he “hoped it could be taken care of by the city since it is city property.” The board voted to support the sidewalkwidening proposal and the seeking of corporate funds. A second motion supported the proposal to install hard curbing from the sidewalk around the parking area opposite Avenida de la Playa, and encouraged the city to install the curbing “as quickly as possible.”

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS
Suspected drunk driver slams into Draper Avenue home
A
woman suspected of driving while intoxicated slammed her truck into a house in the 7400 block of Draper Avenue early Saturday evening, April 11. Witnesses dining at Wahoo’s Fish Tacos on Pearl Street and Draper reported seeing a woman driving eastbound on Pearl in a Dodge RAM pickup truck before she made a screeching turn onto Draper and slammed into a vacant house. While backing up, she knocked over a cinder block wall, which fell onto a black BMW 352i that was being repaired next door at the Marco Polo Independent BMW and Mini Service shop. Shop owner Marco Gentile said the BMW was most likely totaled. A security camera across the street captured footage of the incident, which Gentile said happened at 6:18 p.m. San Diego Police said the 33-year-old driver also hit a
parked car at Pearl Street and La Jolla Boulevard before colliding with the home.

From Sidewalk, A1 the street and around parked cars. People would watch with anxiety as this went on over the last decade.” Requests had previously been put forward to install a sidewalk, but the BRCC was told the city did not have the finances to pay for the construction. Now that the city is ready to proceed, Collins said, “I would encourage everyone here to ask the city to expedite this and don’t let anything hold this project up.” Garcia requested BRCC support a waiver to the summer construction moratorium, Memorial Day (May 25) to Labor Day (Sept. 7), “We are not planning to go into the moratorium, we are not encouraging the contractor to go into the moratorium, but just in case it does extend into the moratorium, we want to have the community support so construction would not have to stop (part way),” he said. BRCC president Jacqueline Bell said the board would e-mail confirmation of its support. “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time and we are very excited and happy to see it started,” she said. “I think we’ll all understand if it goes past Memorial Day.”

Additionally, deteriorating guardrails at Bird Rock Avenue and Forward Street will be replaced, starting in early July.

The run starts on Prospect Street at Girard Avenue and proceeds south on La Jolla Boulevard, into Mission Beach. Approximately 1,500 people are expected. “It’s a great family outing for moms and dads with baby strollers,” she said. Police close the street early that morning, and because it is a “rolling terrain,” the streets reopen as the area is cleared of racers. Proceeds benefit Mission Bay, Clairemont, University City and La Jolla High Schools.

group of valiant African American World War I soldiers — aka the “Harlem Hellfighters”— brought with them to Europe one of America’s most enduring exports: jazz. The 19th annual Lytle Scholarship Concert at UC San Diego will take a trip through time and pay homage to those brave men with the concert, “Harlem Hellfighters: Jazz Goes to War,” 3 p.m. Sunday, April 19 at UCSD Prebys Concert Hall. Proceeds will benefit undergraduate scholarships at UC San Diego. The evening will also include narration to describe the music and its place in history. Jazz made its path across the Atlantic Ocean in 1918, when one black officer, Lieutenant James Reese Europe, volunteered for military service with members of his Harlem Society Orchestra. They formed the 369th Regimental Band, which, in addition to combat fighting, brought jazz to Paris and popularized it in several European cities. While members of the 369th Regimental Band fought courageously and were renowned for boosting morale with their music, the U.S. Army still did not allow them to fight alongside white soldiers. As a result, the African American soldiers were attached to the French, who welcomed the soldiers and gave them the moniker, “hellfighters.” Tickets are $50 general admission, $40 active and former military members or $10 with student ID at rels.ucsd.edu u

T
students put pieces of broken plates back together at the archeology station while the older students witnessed chemical reactions and examined real animal brains. “Lectures about science tend to be dry, but when students do things hands-on, they get the ‘oh wow’ factor,” May said. “You can teach kids about chemistry without saying chemistry, or teach physics without saying physics — they can make volcanoes and use silly putty.” He added that once students are introduced to scientific concepts, their interest could be piqued and carried over for years. Kevin Intriligator, a UCSD physics
professor and Torrey Pines parent, agreed. “A lot of kids this age are naturally interested in science, but as they get older, they get scared off. As long as they know science is fun and see it as play, they can stay interested.” Intriligator brought the ever-popular Van de Graaff generator to create electricity that causes hair to stand up and makes small bolts of lightning. “If they see these dramatic things that go beyond what we can see with our eyes, such as electricity and magnetic fields, but that have an effect on things we can see, they start making connections,” he said. May added that the younger the students
make these connections, the better. “Kids generally don’t develop an interest in science later in life, so it’s really important to plant the seed when they are young. In 20 years, people need to be capable of doing whatever the next level of science is, and they need to get interested now or we won’t have enough scientists in the future.” The science pros in attendance came from a pool of parents and reserachers working nearby. “Because of where we are and our proximity to UCSD and the biotech companies, we have a parent bank with a wide variety of expertise to share,” May said. u

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®
How much EXTRA did you pay in taxes on April 15? Anyone interested in making MORE money? One way is to only pay your “fair share” of income taxes! So — how much did you pay in 2014? Interested in learning how to find out? Where to look? Find your 2014 tax return: The front page is Form 1040. Check line 63 (which shows how much you paid in federal income taxes). Next, check your California tax return Form 540 and find line 64. Find your Kleenex box and calculator, total both numbers and divide by 12. That number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Shocked? Want to be shocked even more? Most of you reading this actually paid more than you should — why? You probably only had your taxes prepared vs. planned. Did your tax preparer take time to read and explain your return with any suggestions — or just tell you your refund OR how much of a check to pay to the IRS and CA Franchise Tax Board? Keep this in mind: Taxes are not just taxes — taxes are dollars. Our firm does not prepare taxes — we leave that to the accountants, enrolled agents, CPAs and tax attorneys. However, we do READ tax returns, and (just maybe) could show you some ideas and strategies so you will only pay your “fair share” and no more. I have clients who pay zero taxes and some others who pay more than $1M in taxes. It’s interesting to review these tax returns. There are basically two different incomes: one you can control and the other you cannot control. Let’s start with the income you cannot control, which includes W-2 (salaries and wages), pensions and Social Security, to name the main ones. Income you can control includes interest, dividends, capital gains, rental incomes — see the front page of your 1040 return. Of course, some of you file an extension until October 15 as a business owner or other legit reasons to file late. You also know that any taxes owed are due April 15. In my 30-plus years as a private financial planner, I have reviewed literally thousands of tax returns — and the great majority of people simply pay much more than necessary. My challenge to you is to find your most recent tax return. If it’s your 2014, check the areas mentioned earlier. Jot down what you paid in federal and California taxes — total both and divide by 12. Remember, that number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Wow, you say! Did I really pay THAT much? Yep, you did! Your motto should be: • I only want to pay as little as possible in taxes. Your action should be: • I will schedule a meeting with Aubrey to have him review my tax return. Now, it’s up to you. See my contact — and the meeting is complimentary. Aubrey Morrow, president of Financial Designs, Ltd. is a Certified Financial Planner, Registered Investment Advisor Representative with more than 30 years of experience.

LoLo: Stylish looks for mother and daughter at affordable prices
LoLo has a La Jolla location at 7927 Girard Ave. Other stores are in Del Mar/Carmel Valley, Encinitas and downtown San Diego.
By Marti Gacioch Light, bright with an ever-changing inventory of clothing styles, LoLo (now with four San Diego County locations) focuses on trendy, but classy, styles for mother and daughter. Founded by Belgian clothing designers Lauren and Christian LeHaye, the couple’s clients are typically ages 2650. “But my oldest client is 94, so it always depends on how a woman looks in our clothes,� said owner Lauren LeHaye. “Some women can wear skinny jeans while others can’t. We carry trendy, but we don’t cross the line because we also want you to look classy.� In Belgium, LeHaye became involved in the textile clothing industry when she created a children’s clothing line for Walt Disney. Working for Disney led Lauren to a job with a famous European stylist with whom she continued her training. After Lauren met Christian, also a designer, the couple decided to move to the United States and open stores. They started on the East Coast and landed in Del Mar seven years later where they opened a Del Mar LoLo shop. “We offer clothing for all shapes — tall, petite, and ladies sizes 8 and up — including very affordable dresses, T-shirts, sweaters and other necessities in prices from $29- $69,� LeHaye said.
Welcome, Sima Alefi, new financial advisor for Wells Fargo Advisors With 20 years of experience in the financial industry, I recently transitioned my practice to Wells Fargo Advisors in April of 2014. My previous practice with Edward Jones was located in the Danville, bay area of northern California. As a Financial Advisor, I help manage assets for individuals, trusts, retirement plans, and businesses. I especially enjoy working with women who have been divorced, widowed or recently came into an inheritance. I feel women are often underserved due to Financial Advisors’ lack of understanding of their needs simply by not listening or not being able to relate. As a woman Financial Advisor, I understand the importance of having specific plans for various life events. As a mother of two adults boys, married for 23 years, I understand the juggler role that women have - mom, daughter, caregiver, wife, career. I enjoy educating and empowering clients to take control of their financial future by providing a plan and investment advice. I enjoy helping couples obtain their financial dreams. My extensive experience throughout major shifts in the markets enables me to help my clients structure balanced portfolios to address their specific financial goals.I have earned a degree in Business Management and in addition to several applicable securities registrations, hold an Accredited Asset Management Specialist, AAMS professional designation.

“We renew our inventory weekly and never reorder jewelry, which looks far more expensive than it costs — $12-$39.� Twice a year, every January and August, LoLo’s entire store is priced 30-percent off for one week and 50-percent off for the next week. “We don’t usually do big sales as we have sale racks out all year long, but we do have our twice yearly sale to thank our customers for their loyalty and start over with a new inventory,� LeHaye said. “We also always have incentives and things happening and we let our customers know about them through our Facebook page, LoLo Boutiques, and e-mail. This month, LoLo has 20-percent off everything for two weeks. “To keep our prices affordable, we need to sell in quantity and have a lot of traffic coming through.

New insulin options can make diabetes management easier By Athena Philis-Tsimikas, M.D. According to the latest report from the Centers for Disease Control, 6 million American adults with diabetes use insulin to help keep their blood sugar levels under control. Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps to transport the sugar in food from the bloodstream into the cells, which then convert the sugar into energy. Many people with diabetes are prescribed insulin, either because their bodies do not produce insulin (type 1 diabetes) or do not use insulin properly (type 2 diabetes). Insulin therapy can help manage blood sugar when the body can’t do it on its own. There are more than 20 types of insulin sold in the United States. These insulins differ in how they are made, how they work in the body, and how much they cost. While traditional insulin products have been very effective in helping to keep blood glucose levels under control, they do have some limitations. For example, some rapid-acting insulins can’t act fast enough to keep up with the rise in blood sugar after eating a high carbohydrate meal. Other long-acting insulins don’t last long enough to prevent a rise in blood sugar by the end of the day.
At times, too much insulin can cause a dangerous drop in blood glucose levels known as hypoglycemia, which can cause symptoms ranging from dizziness and weakness to lack of coordination, loss of consciousness and, in severe cases, coma.
Faster and longer
To help resolve these issues, a number of pharmaceutical companies are working on newer forms of insulin that work more quickly or last much longer and cause less hypoglycemia (low sugars). Faster “rapid-acting” forms, which are injected before a meal, keep up with the rise in blood sugar after eating. These newer rapid-acting products begin to act within three to five minutes of injection, peak within 30 to 90 minutes, and stay in the body for about three to five hours. Another agent recently approved by the FDA is a rapid-acting insulin that is inhaled rather than injected. These fast-acting types of insulin can often be used together with new-generation basal insulins that have a longer duration of action with some lasting more than 42 hours. The new products release insulin very slowly into the body, just as the pancreas normally would, to prevent dangerous highs and lows in blood
sugar levels. In addition, long-acting insulin allows more flexibility in the timing of the injections while still managing blood sugar levels; in fact, some long-acting products would even allow someone to inject a dose up to eight hours late and still maintain control of blood sugar the following day. One agent was recently approved in the United States and another has been approved and launched in Europe, Japan and Mexico. Changes in weight, exercise, diet and medical condition can all affect insulin needs. As with most medications, your doctor will help you find the right type of insulin for your health needs and your lifestyle. If you are interested in participating in clinical trials that offer some of these newest insulins or other medications for diabetes you can get more information from the staff at Scripps Diabetes Research Center, (858) 678-5695. n Athena Philis-Tsimikas, M.D., is an endocrinologist and corporate vice president for the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute at Scripps Health in San Diego.

A
ctress and author Diane Keaton was in La Jolla April 9, speaking and signing copies of her new book, “Let’s Just Say It Wasn’t Pretty,” in the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Sherwood Auditorium. The event was sponsored by Warwick’s Bookstore, Words A!ive and U-T Talks. The actress, who has appeared in Woody Allen films from “Sleeper” to “Annie Hall,” “The Godfather” series and “Something’s Gotta Give” slipped off her boots, got comfortable and shared anecdotes about the famous men in her life, and others who have inspired her. Asked by Ashley Gardner, executive director of the Women’s Museum of California, if she considers herself a feminist, Keaton quipped, “I never thought of myself as feminist. ... A feminist, I think, really means that you make that your life’s mission and you work at it harder than I work at it, but I’m glad to reap the rewards and the benefits.”

OUR READERS WRITE State Farm offers 10 tips for saving water at home Last week, Gov. Brown announced the first mandatory water restrictions in California history. This week, State Farm announced California is No. 1 in water damage claims in the nation, according to the insurance company’s internal claims data. Water losses damage your home and deplete the state’s water reserves. Many Californians may have home water leaks and not even know about them. Of the claims reported, 10,445 were for plumbing and toilet leaks. Here’s how to know yours is not losing water unexpectedly every day: 1) Bills: Compare them as they can signal (if they are going up) that you may have a leak problem. 2) Sink: Check under it for leaks from water supply lines or drainpipes. These may be hard to spot. 3) Refrigerator: If yours has an icemaker, make sure the hose connection is securely attached to the water supply line. 4) Dishwasher: Check for leaks where the hose connects to the water supply. 5) Washing machine: Check and replace hoses regularly. 6) Toilets: Clogs can result from too much
toilet paper or objects. Some chlorine tablet cleaners may corrode internal plastic or rubber parts, leading to leaks. 7) Garden hose: Check its status. 8) Air Conditioner: Every spring, have the A/C system serviced. Make sure contractors inspect and clean the condensation pan drain line. Change air filters regularly. 9) Sewer/Drain: Much water is wasted due to sewer/drain back-ups in the home. Check their status. 10) Trees: Tree roots can cause problems, so pick new trees (and their location) wisely. Jordi Ortega State Farm Media Relations

La Plaza sidewalk tile deemed safe by city I’d like to share with you a response from La Plaza La Jolla to a recent letter submitted to the La Jolla Light, “Sidewalk may be a slip/fall hazard.” We take these concerns very seriously. The tile in question was included in the plans that were reviewed and approved by the City of
San Diego, and meets the standards required for use in the pubic right-of-way. In fact, when independently tested, the tile far exceeded the friction standards for flat walking surfaces by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Please know that the shiny appearance of the stone is not an indicator of its slippery-ness; rather it’s the stone’s natural sheen resulting from the honing process.

Marine mammals belong on La Jolla’s beaches Regarding the letter, “Time to relocate the sea lions,” what a statement, really. The marine mammals have been at the seashore long before there was a La Jolla. Without wanting to offend anyone, understand that this battle has been going on for too long! Relocation is absurd. Many residents of La Jolla — like me — have lived here all our lives and now the newcomers wish to dictate terms? Please, anybody who dislikes other Earthlings and has a problem with the harbor seals and sea lions who have a right to be here (as it is their habitat not ours), may just relocate, seeking another habitat themselves. Peace! u Isabella Miram

OBITUARIES
Benjamin Foroozan
1958 – 2015
Ben suffered a major heart attack and passed away Monday, March 16, 2015. His immediate family, wife, Bonnie Foroozan, and children, Nathan and Estee, are mourning his passing. His friends and associates still cannot believe he is gone. Ben was only 57 and in the prime of life. Ben moved to this country at a young age and became a success. He always looked on the positive side of life and strove to put on a quality program. Ben was a well known
figure at local schools in La Jolla. He was a driving force and a model of how an interested businessman could support and improve science, mathematics and engineering in schools. Ben established after school science programs at local elementary and middle schools, as well as bringing an adapted science program to the children at La Jolla Village Montessori School. He hired interns and teachers to teach the courses; had educational consultants design curriculum; and provided the materials and even brought snacks to support the programs. He sponsored the first elementary school teams to compete in the USD Walk on Water engineering competition and was instrumental in support robotics programs. He also sponsored a summer school bridging class for ninth graders entering La Jolla High School to better prepare the students for science courses. Ben was part of a National Institutes of Health research project
in conjunction with La Jolla High School and the UCSD Medical school to see if depression rates in senior citizens could be reduced while maintaining cognitive function when working one-on-one with high school students. Ben was a key figure in working with LJHS science teacher Martin Teachworth to develop, sponsor and establish the REMS (Rendezvous Engineering Mathematics and Science) Competition. REMS had elementary students from all parts of the county taking part in a series of competitions. The purpose of REMS was to excite students about science, math and engineering while pushing them to take those types of classes in later years. Students answered questions, built towers and raced studentbuilt hybrid cars. A Memorial service will be held on Sunday, April 19, 2015, at 4pm at La Jolla Elementary School in the Courtyard. Honor Ben and his outlook on life by volunteering and donating
to schools and the community. Donations may be made at: GoFundMe. com, Foroozan Family. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

n E-mail ideas to: president@lajollatowncouncil.org
Collaborative effort to tackle Cove stench emerges from community sea lion forum D By Pat Sherman uring its April 9 meeting, La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) voted unanimously to have its president, Steve Haskins, meet with leaders of other local organizations to formulate a proposal for eliminating the stench at La Jolla Cove, the source of which most people now agree is excrement from the growing sea lion colony there. The public is asked to e-mail input to Haskins in the coming weeks at president@lajollatowncouncil.org, which he will share with leaders of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) and other stakeholder groups. Any solution ironed out between the groups will be brought back to Town Council trustees for discussion at the group’s next meeting, 5 p.m. Thursday, May 7 at La Jolla Rec Center. The collaborative concept was introduced during the meeting’s sea lion forum by restaurateur George Hauer of George’s at the Cove (perched just above La Jolla Cove on Prospect Street). Hauer said the smell is so nauseating at times, he dreads coming to work to field customers’ comments about it. Hauer, part of an ongoing lawsuit against the City of San Diego filed by business owners seeking a solution to the problem, suggested the working group include representatives from organizations like the San Diego Tourism Authority and the San Diego chapter of the California Restaurant Association. “What we need is a collective,” Hauer said. “Get the heads of these groups into a meeting with the politicians to go ahead and press our case.” The forum also included presentations by marine wildlife specialists, including Mark Lowry with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who provided information about sea lions’ diet and a population count he conducts annually at the Channel Islands off the California Coast (mostly sea lion pups) — where he contends 99 percent of births occur. Although Lowry said sea lions often flee humans in the Channel Islands, he agreed with other attendees’ observations that the sea lions at La Jolla Cove no longer appear to be fearful of humans — the likes of which he said he has only witnessed in one other place, the Galapagos Islands (where he posits sea lions have been so excluded from human contact they haven’t learned to fear them). Asked why NOAA doesn’t study sea lions at La Jolla Cove so that the federal agency has data to help La Jollans devise a deterrent method that abides by the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), Lowry said it comes down to funding. “You mean here in La Jolla? These few little animals?” he said. “They’re not going to throw any money at that. I have a hard enough time trying to get money to do what I do.” Meanwhile, La Jolla Light learned in February that the City of San Diego signed a contract for just shy of $25,000 with Doyle Hanan & Associates to “study and identify potential opportunities for changing the behavior or haul-out conditions of the sea lion colony now expanding along the La Jolla coastline,” and to file a report with the city. City spokesperson Bill Harris confirmed April 10 that Hanan is now in the process of ascertaining whether La Jolla’s sea lions display “any unique opportunities for behavior change.” Meanwhile, he assured the city will continue spraying biodegradable foam on the bluffs that digests bird guano — another component of the smell. “It’s our hope there will be a solution that fits all of the many regulatory criteria applicable to this site and situation,” Harris responded, via e-mail. “Depending on the potential solutions to be considered following the Hanan & Associates report, agencies like the Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Coastal Commission, California Department of Fish and Wildlife and others may need to be
Carol Holsinger, a copywriter at Lambesis advertising agency on Prospect Street, noted that in other cities border collies have been used to control populations of migrating Canadian geese.

engaged in an approval process. The work by Hanan & Associates is the critical step toward that effort.” Lowry said the sea lion population off the La Jolla coast would eventually hit carrying capacity — a point at which there is not enough food to support its numbers. Right now, the food source is very low (which accounts for the current malnourished and dehydrated condition of sea lion pups), though when the ocean cools down, such as during a la niña, the sea lions could likely thrive in even greater numbers.
Privately funded solution?
Longtime diver John Leek suggested La Jollans secure private funding to have the city’s Park & Recreation Department (which oversees La Jolla’s beaches) clean up sea lion waste in a way that complies with state and federal regulations — an idea championed by several others at the meeting. “You may not get it unless you pay for it or you do it yourself,” Leek said, noting the MMPA allows for an agency acting on behalf of the city, presumably such as the LJTC or LJCPA, to take action to lessen the nuisance created by marine mammals. Leek noted that San Diego’s Park & Recreation Department oversees beaches, including La Jolla Cove. Despite a request by City Council president Sherri Lightner to have the city’s 11-person Park & Recreation board — which directly advises Park & Rec director Herman Parker — include a member from each city council district, to date it only includes members from six council districts, and none from La Jolla or Council District 1.
Slippery slope of pinniped tourism
Although Lowry said nearly all sea lions are born in the Channel Islands, Leek asked why rescued sea lions are returned to waters off the San Diego coast, instead of the Channel Islands? Leek noted that the growing eco-tourism of people coming to view seals and their offspring just south of the Cove at the Children’s Pool was used as justification by the California Coastal Commission when it granted the city’s request to close that beach during the seals’ pupping season. Leek and others said they fear this tourism trend could also be used to justify closing the beach at La Jolla Cove. Under section 109(h) of the MMPA, Leek said he believes an organization such as the LJTC or LJCPA could bypass the city and solve the sea lion issue itself. It reads: “Nothing in this title shall prevent a federal, state or local government
official or employee or a person designated under section 112(c) from taking (harassing), in the course of his or her duties as an official, employee or designee, a marine mammal in a humane manner (including euthanasia) if such taking is for A) protection of the welfare of the animal; B) the protection of the public health and welfare or safety; and C) the non-lethal removal of nuisance animals.” Leek suggested La Jollans band together and hire people “to hassle sea lions off the rocks and beach.” However, wildlife biologist Renee Owens, another guest presenter, noted the MMPA has its limits. She said people are not allowed to harass sea lions “willy-nilly” or to remove an entire colony. However, she added, “As powerful as these laws may be, they’re not as powerful as you’ve been told and there are ways that you can work with them to find solutions,” such as obtaining permits to clean the bluffs and temporarily harass the sea lions. While it was noted that NOAA Fisheries allowed for the killing of sea lions at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River to keep them from snacking on endangered salmon, Owens said the same drastic course of action couldn’t be justified under the MMPA in La Jolla. “That’s apples and oranges to what you’ve got here,” she said. “That court case was the Endangered Species Act versus the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and the Endangered Species Act and the salmon won. It was hugely debated and there was major litigation.” Owens, a wildlife biologist and environmental consultant who has both represented the Sierra Club and companies hoping to legally disburse wildlife, including oil companies, said a solution cannot legally include removing the entire sea lion colony. “If your goal is to completely obliterate the wildlife, history shows that approach is a losing one,” Owens said. “A better approach is to find a way you can solve your problem while realizing you’re not going to rid the Cove of all of the sea lions. The Marine Mammal Protection Act does have limits.” Although Owens suggested La Jollans work directly with federal regulators for some relief instead of “putting the whole burden on the city,” others in the audience attributed the prolonged problem to a standoff between city, state and federal agencies. “We’ve contacted the feds. We contacted the Centers for Disease Control — which oddly enough, doesn’t deal with wild animals or natural habitats,” said La Jolla Village Merchants Association president Claude Anthony Marengo. “Everybody keeps pointing the finger at somebody else.” La Jolla Community Planning Association president Joe LaCava cautioned people not to spend time dwelling on the past and how conditions were before the seal and sea lion populations took a foothold on La Jolla’s beaches. “I do it myself, but things have changed and we have to recognize that we have to deal with what’s here now,” LaCava said, adding he doesn’t disagree with last month’s court ruling that the city has no legal requirement to eliminate the smell at La Jolla Cove. However, he opined, “The city does have a duty for the common good of all La Jollans and all small businesses and the tourist industry to help us solve this problem.” LaCava, who has announced his intention to run for the District 1 City Council seat being vacated by Sherri Lightner in 2016, said he no longer walks down to the Cove due to the odor. “Everybody else in the rest of San Diego thinks La Jolla gets special treatment,” he said. “We in La Jolla know we don’t get anything — except what we do for ourselves, and that’s part of where the solution begins. We’ve been talking about how long it takes to get permits, and we never apply. We’ve got to start that process. We have to decide right now that we are all going to join together as La Jollans and solve this problem.” u

Shores Surf Association hosts 15th Menehune Contest April 25 By Lorraine Schmalenberger Surf Club President
La Jolla Shores Surfing Association (LJSSA) will host its annual Menehune Surf Contest Saturday, April 25 at La Jolla Shores beach for wave-riders, ages 18 and under. More than 150 participants are expected, surfing in longboard, shortboard and novice divisions. The first heats will get underway at 7 a.m., lasting through the day, until the awards ceremony at 3:30 p.m. While the young surfers “wow” spectators with their nose riding and skillful maneuvers out on the water, the beach comes alive with banners, tents and good vibes as club members sign in nervous competitors, distribute event T-shirts and goodie bags for contestants, judge heats, tally scores, and host a BBQ, raffle and silent auction for kids and their families. There will even be a “D.O.G.” heat (Dads of Groms) and a “M.O.B.” heat (Mothers on Board) so kids can cheer on their surfing parents! This year, the surf club added two special events: 1) Freedom Heats: Surfing veterans will be honored for their service and courage as they take the water at the end of the day. These athletes are wounded veterans from the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars, and all have found the
“stoke” that surfing brings and the healing power of the ocean. 2) Youth Art Exhibition: The top 40 entries in the LJSSA art contest, selected by a LJSSA jury, will be on exhibit through mid-May at the La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. The $100 grand-prize winner was Adam Traubman of San Dieguito Academy. His piece embodies the spirit of original art showcasing kids having fun while surfing at La Jolla Shores and appears on 2015 contest T-shirts. Event proceeds will be donated to Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego Junior Lifeguard Foundation, Natural High, and Friends of La Jolla Shores. The surf contest enjoys support from surf industry insiders who donate items for the participant goodie bags, prizes, raffle and silent auction. These include Rusty Boardhouse, Surf Diva, South Coast, Sector 9, Sea Brothers Surfboards, Gordon & Smith Surfboards, INT Surf Technology, Stance Socks, Hanger 94, and Hike Bike Kayak. Other companies lending support include Scorpion Bay Hotel, La Jolla Shores Hotel, and Allegis She Property Management. u n La Jolla Shores Surfing Association: (858) 692-5235, e-mail: lorraine@ljssa.org, ljssa.org

Softball: La Jolla High School Vikings 9, Point Loma High School Pointers 6
Coach says ‘rock solid pitching’ key to Viking success By Kyle Loomis he La Jolla High School softball team beat Point Loma High 9-6 to continue its early season success. The April 7 home victory improved the Vikings’ record to 2-0 in Western League games (8-6 overall). The strong start is significant because it indicates that this squad could be the most talented to be fielded for La Jolla in the past half-decade. “It’s a big win for us,” Coach Anthony Sarain said about Tuesday’s game. “We haven’t won a Western League game before this year in five years.” Winning against Point Loma was not the first clue that this team is different than those of past years. La Jolla’s 7-6 win against Clairemont High on March 26 was the first time that the Vikings beat the Chieftains in 10 years, said Sarain. “Defense is much better, and we have some power hitting,” Sarain said about the differences between this year’s team and previous teams. “We’ve hit a lot of home runs this season.” The offensive firepower was on display in the game against Point Loma, where the Vikings scored twice in the first inning. Most notably, senior catcher Stephanie Alvarez hit an impressive line drive to leftcenter field that bounced over the fence as a ground-rule double. Alvarez’s first of four hits on the day put runners on second and third. The next play was an RBI groundout

that put the Vikings ahead 2-0. The defense stepped up in the next inning when a Point Loma base-runner was attempting to reach third base and was thrown out by freshman left-fielder Vanessa Shaffer. The strong defense allowed the Vikings to maintain the momentum when they went to bat, scoring another two runs after a slew of singles. After two full innings, La Jolla had built a respectable 4-0 lead. The Pointers offered their first resistance to the Vikings’ winning effort in the top half

of the third inning. A rally emphasized by a RBI double in right field resulted in a 4-3 score after three innings. Senior pitcher and team co-captian Katja Sarain, in a demonstration of resilience, was able to work out of a jam the following inning. Viking Sarain said focusing on the next pitch and ignoring everything else was her key to getting through difficult game situations when her team is on defense. Her coach chalks it up to his pitcher’s experience. “Our pitcher is rock solid,”
Coach Sarain said. “She’s pitched over 112 games, so she’s got a lot of experience, she’s doing a great job.” Relief came when the Vikings hitters widened the deficit in the bottom of the fourth inning. Alvarez connected on a pitch to hit a three-run homer to left-center field. “It felt so good, nice and clean,” Alvarez said. “It was just awesome.” Coach Sarain had nothing but praise for his catcher and co-captain. “She’s the heart of the team. She’s the toughest kid on the field,” Sarain said. The Vikings’ biggest challenge this season will be league favorite and defending Division I CIF champions Cathedral Catholic High, who they will play on April 14 and May 7. Other Western League rivals include University City High, Mission Bay High and Madison High. With the senior leadership, powerful bats, and veteran pitching comprising the Vikings’ roster, La Jolla High followers have reason to be optimistic that their softball team can surprise the Western League teams and compete for the league title. Doing well in league play will help earn an opportunity to play in CIF Division IV playoffs. Until then, players will focus on playing hard and having fun. “We just have to have fun, go with the flow,” Alvarez said. u

What brought you to La Jolla? ResMed’s global headquarters were established in San Diego in the mid-‘90s and I moved here from Sydney in late 1995. I soon discovered that La Jolla was indeed a jewel of a place to live. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? My comments are applicable more to the whole state of California. Philosophically, I tend toward being a Libertarian, but I’m very much a fiscal conservative. The thing I cannot stand is the way politicians waste scarce resources See 10 Questions, B21
By Ashley Mackin a Jolla Woman’s Club kicked off its “Women in Leadership” speaker series April 3 with a presentation by San Diego City Council president and La Jolla Shores resident Sherri Lightner. Approximately 50 people attended to hear about Lightner’s life and career path. “The purpose of these forums is to highlight various women in leadership positions and their experiences — what it took to get them into that position, what kind of challenges they endured, what kind of triumphs they’ve had and why they are committed to being leaders in the community,” said Mithu Sherin, Woman’s Club president.

Breath of Hope 5K to benefit UCSD Cancer Center
T
La Jolla Cultural Partners
he seventh annual San Diego Breath of Hope Lung Cancer 5k Walk to benefit lung cancer research at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center takes place Sunday, April 19 at Cancer Survivors Park on Harbor Island. Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. The walk will start at 9 a.m. Pre-registration is $35. On-site registration is $40. The cost for survivors to participate is $15 and children under the age of 12 are $20 at sdbreathofhope.ucsd.edu “The Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Walk brings together passionate San Diegans in a united effort to advance transformative research and therapies to treat lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death among men and women,” said Scott Lippman, M.D., director of Moores Cancer Center. “Proceeds provide an important source of support for our world-class physicians and researchers in their ongoing work to develop innovative solutions for treating and preventing this deadly disease.” The San Diego Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Walk was founded in 2009 by three people with lung cancer who met at a UC San Diego-sponsored lung cancer symposium: Kathleen Larson and the late Maria Enriquez and Mike Stevens. The walk was the first event of its kind in San Diego to raise funds for lung cancer education and research; to date it has raised more than $710,000. Today, Kathleen Larson is still involved with the event along with the Enriquez family. “None of us had experience planning a walk like this, but we knew this was a cause worth fighting for,” Larson said. Her story is proof of the importance of early detection of lung cancer. In 2001, a friend working at a body scan facility offered her a scan. Larson agreed to it on a whim. She did not expect the news she received. The spiral CT scan revealed a suspicious mass between the lobes of Kathleen’s left lung. Ten days later, her entire left lung was removed. Five years later, during the now routine scans, another small tumor was found in her right lung. The new tumor was removed using minimally invasive surgery, and Larson is still able to work as a psychotherapist, travel and enjoy time with her family. u
Guest Commentary
My Life
in
Plastic Bags
By Arthur Wenner La Jolla Octogenarian
F
or the first 30 years of my life, I was unaware of the world of thin gauge, see-through plastic. Food leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, or what was then referred to generically as Saran Wrap, and placed in the refrigerator. My sport coats, blazers and suits were stored in the plastic garment bags provided with the purchase. Times have changed. These days, those leftovers worth saving are placed in a clear plastic pouch one can readily seal. Breakfast dry cereals sold in their own waxed bags and then packaged in retail boxes are now pervading our pantry in gigantic plastic bags that “zip” closed. Should we place these cereals that are already covered with two containers in still another one? Just for insurance? And how about being offered a bag at the market to carry out items like chips, that are already in a bag. Luggage stored in the attic or garage is in a plastic refuse bag. Clothes reclaimed from the cleaners remain in their clear plastic bags until those articles of clothing are used and sent once again to the cleaners. Merchandise from markets, pharmacies and most other retail outlets is sent home in small plastic bags; we use bags of that type to dispose of kitchen garbage before taking it to the
garbage can outside, which is lined with a plastic black refuse bag, or to a recycle container. For major kitchen waste, there is the opaque plastic bag in the compactor. While preparing for a short trip, my wife reminded me to place my toiletries into a plastic bag before placing them into my Dopp kit. Even better, she explained, would be to place one bag inside another. We even have a plastic bag in one kitchen drawer to hold all the other ones! It just occurred to me that my ashes will some day be placed in an urn; but just prior to that, guess where they will be placed? You guessed correctly … they’ll be in a plastic bag. u

From Sherri Lightner, B1 “This is about the betterment of all women and how we can be acutely aware of the challenges women face,” Sherin said. Lightner was elected to the San Diego City Council in 2008 and 2012, after serving on local boards such as La Jolla Shores Association, La Jolla Town Council and La Jolla Community Planning Association. In December 2014, she was elected City Council president. A mechanical engineer by training, she is a self-proclaimed “proud” graduate of UC San Diego Revelle College, class of 1972, with degrees in mathematics and sociology. She met her now-husband, Bruce, while they were working in the school cafeteria. Soon after graduation, she got a job at General Atomics, where she passed her engineer-in-training exam, prompting her to get a master’s degree in applied mechanics and engineering sciences. Shortly thereafter, she received her mechanical engineer license. In her early career, she said she was so thrilled by the opportunities presented that she couldn’t see certain red flags. “I was so excited that I had my first real job, I didn’t know they were paying me less than everyone else,” she said. “Over at personnel I’m sure they were thinking ‘let’s offer her this (much in salary).’ I said yes! I didn’t even negotiate. I would encourage anyone out looking for a job to think about it before you accept that first offer.” A mother of three, she recalled that when she applied for maternity leave (at a time maternity leave was not protected by law), her managers tried to have her sign a contract that terminated her employment instead of sending her on leave. She refused to sign, concluding that her education and training gave her the upper hand, and she was able to keep her

When she started her 18 yearcareer at General Atomics, where she worked on the Strategic Defense Initiative in the 1980s known as Star Wars, she was an engineering aid. When she left, she was a staff engineer. “For much of my career, I was one of the only women in my line of work, and that’s why it is so important to me to mentor and advocate for girls — and boys — especially in underserved communities, to get into engineering,” she said. “It is something that will never steer you wrong, and engineering skills are adaptable toward another future. The skills are important in getting a handle on how the world works.” Lightner supports EXPO Day held at PETCO Park — an annual festival of science and engineering that hosts thousands of children — and the various Girls in Engineering programs found in San Diego Schools.

“Women make up roughly half the population but they are underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations, with only 26 percent of STEM workers being women,” she said, noting that those in STEM careers earn about 33 percent more than those in non-STEM fields. “(Women) hold the low share of undergraduate degrees, especially in engineering, and while it’s getting better, it’s not getting better fast enough. It’s so important to engage young people in these careers.” Mentors, Lightner said, are crucial to producing the strong and confident young women who pursue STEM careers. “As a woman in the workplace I’ve heard the labels ‘head strong’ or ‘sleeping with the boss,’ and those taunts are going to be there, so women have to have a thick skin,” she said. “As a young woman, it’s very

important to have someone to talk with, someone who has been where you are and faced the challenges you face. That’s what we can do. Young women need a mentor relationship that grounds them and makes them secure.” Lightner said her early mentors were female teachers because “my male teachers weren’t quite so dynamic,” she said. She excitedly mentioned a French teacher she considered a “dynamo,” and Mrs. Perry, her chemistry teacher at Crawford High School. “I used to have nightmares about her lessons, but she was from the Midwest and one of the first women to get a collegiate scientific degree. She was fabulous and really passionate about her work,” she said. Lightner’s passion, in addition to “being a community voice at city hall,” is her family. She said she learned to listen by listening to her children, and her path to leadership started when she had a family. When sons Mack and John and daughter Evie were in school, she became active in PTA, and then it was sports, Scouting and Sunday School. Next, she got involved with community groups as she tried to make La Jolla a better place for her family. When asked if she plans to continue her career in politics, Lightner said no. “The last campaign was really nasty and hurt my family,” she said. “The ads were really terrible, one or two really affected my daughter and her friends, because they showed our house. My supporters thought she should move because they feared for her safety,” she said. With two years left of her term, Lightner said she is focusing on economic development and the city’s water policy. u n “Women in Leadership”continues at the Woman’s Club with San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 3. lajollawomansclub.org

too irreverent by the gallery’s directors. There was, for example, a pinhole camera made from airplane aluminum and shards of the World Trade Center; bits of sacred Islamic, Jewish, and Christian texts; and photos of rabbis, priests, and imams holding their holy books. You won’t find them, or in fact, any Islamic pieces, in this exhibit. But there’s still plenty to see in “Seeing is Believing.” The centerpiece is Cheryl Nickel’s Cathedral, which actually calls forth the same feeling any great cathedral does. Nickel, one of the founders of Space 4 Art in San Diego’s East Village, was raised in a family of religious fundamentalists and medical professionals. From that background, Nickel seems to have drawn inspiration, and here, out of crutches, laboratory pipettes and X-ray images, she has fashioned a graceful structure, where science, spirituality, and irony converge. The gallery’s rear wall features two of her pipette mandalas, “meditations on science” that manage to lift the heart. All of the artworks on display call out for responses, but several are truly interactive. Dave Ghilarducci’s “Change for Salvation” is a clever, many-pennied construction; bring along some spare change to check your fate. And Paula Levine’s “Bible Rohrschachs,”

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt alk about eclectic: Imagine an art exhibit that includes an elegant neoGothic cathedral made out of metal crutches, Vatican-approved marble reproductions of the heads of Michelangelo’s famous Pieta figures, fragments of Bible pages turned into Rorschachs, a 3-D “Mother of all Buddhas,” and a penny-filled cross that tells the future (sort of) to anyone who drops in a coin. It’s “Seeing is Believing: A Reinvention of Articles of Faith,” on view at the Lawrence Family JCC’s Gotthelf Gallery. Curated by Debby and Larry Kline, prizewinning artistprovocateurs who love to turn convention upside-down and get people talking. This exhibit was two years in the making. “We knew we wanted to do something about different religions and how they borrow from each other, how traditional symbols get immersed in popular culture, and how questions of faith are still relevant as subjects for art,” Debby Kline said. “And the Gotthelf seemed the perfect place to do it.” The Klines had curated two other shows at the Gotthelf: a textile exhibit called “Shmata Nouveau,” and a show of Jewish feminist artists called “Ms. Behavin’.” This one was a little broader-reaching and some of their favorite pieces were deemed

Curators Debby and Larry Kline with Cheryl Nickel’s ‘Meditation on Science,’ a mandala made of chemistry-lab pipettes Maurice Hewitt created from fragments of Old and New Testaments offer a chance to write down what each image suggests to you. If you find yourself missing the missing parts of the “Pieta,” there’s a consolation: you can get closer to the marble faces of Jesus and Mary than you ever could in Rome. And if you look behind the disembodied heads, you can see the seal of the Vatican’s approval.
Whatever your own beliefs are, “Seeing is Believing” will get you thinking, and admiring the ways different artists deal with questions of faith. u n IF YOU GO: “Seeing is Believing: A Reinvention of Articles of Faith” will be on view through May 27.

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Page B8 - April 16, 2015 - LA JOLLA LIGHT
2015 Questions to consider in selecting a day camp n What training does the staff receive on safety, supervision, counseling, problem solving and other issues unique to working with young children? n Is the price all-inclusive or are there extra charges for transportation, overnights, swim lessons, food service, group pictures, T-shirts, extended care, field trips? n Does the camp have an “express bus” that transports children quickly? n If before- and after-camp extended care is offered, who is with the children and what activities take place? n Is lunch served or do campers bring their own sack lunch? Are snacks and drinks provided? n Are campers in a group with a counselor all day? Or, are campers free to go from one activity to another with appropriate supervision? In this case, whom would you talk to if you had a question or concern about your child? n Are parents allowed to drop by for visits or is there a special parent visitation day? u — American Camp Association

Care-free La Jolla ‘linens’
Artist makes eco-friendly tablecloths from plastic bottles By Ashley Mackin or many artists, the process begins by figuring out what they want to make and then how to go about it. For WindanSea resident Brenda Sacks, the process was a little different. A longtime garment maker, five years ago Sacks felt the need to design something new and switched gears, knowing only that using environmentally beneficial materials was key for her. She ultimately decided on spillresistant tablecloths made from recycled plastic bottles, appropriate for indoor or outdoor use. Her company, BottleCloth, sells the pieces online and at local retailers. Although Sacks said she originally set out to make placemats, she was more interested in what was going into her products than what the products were. “I didn’t know what ‘it’ was going to be, but I wanted to design it,” she said, and because she often entertains, she thought she would start with placemats. “I was going to make something out of silicone, but silicone is made from sand and I saw huge chunks of earth taken out to harvest the sand to make silicone,” Sacks said. “I couldn’t be responsible for some mountain being removed ... I know everything is made out of something, but I didn’t want to do that, so I looked for something else.” She attended fabric shows and festivals around the world searching for new

La Jolla resident Brenda Sacks with the tablecloths she designs from recycled plastic bottles. Photos by Ashley Mackin sustainable materials. “I came across a fabric they called ‘recycled polyester’ and wondered where that came from,” the native South African said. “I found out, in Taiwan, they use a lot of plastic bottles to make a yarn. They break the plastic down and spin it into a thin yarn. It’s a plastic you can make anything with.” As such, the recycled polyester yarn is spill-resistant and does not need to be ironed, simply thrown in the dryer to dewrinkle. “I entertain a lot, but could never find a tablecloth I loved and then when I did, it required so much work and was too high maintenance for me to juggle while making dinner,” she said.
Further, she said, having indoor/outdoor tablecloths rather than more formal linens is more in line with her Southern California lifestyle. “The ease of use is incredible,” she said. Because the recycled fabric is made in large sheets, Sacks veered away from her placemat idea and started making tablecloths. Preparing to design them, she said, “I got myself into a painting craze; I bought large brushes and large sheets of paper for grand-scale work. I came home and painted what I felt, which ended up being a lot of line work with deliberate brush strokes.” The large sheets of paper gave her an idea of how her patterns would
look on a tablecloth. The simplistic design draws attention to the art of brush strokes. Sacks’ gingham check pattern shows the imprint of bristles on the edges. Her large spiral pattern was made with a child’s sponge roller-brush. Sacks’ assistant Amy Smith said the tablecloths are just as much works of art as they are usable for dining. People have come to her asking if they can hang the sheets on the wall or take them to the park to use as picnic blankets. The finer details — and ecological responsibility — were part of what made BottleCloth appealing to retailers. Shannon Turner, owner of Girard Avenue Collection (which carries the cloths) said, “One of our shop designers, Pam Taunten, found the line and we loved the recycled element and, of course, the stylish, hip designs.” Sacks is no stranger to hip designs, as she spent 15 years in the garment district of Los Angeles. “I started in the T-shirt business in the 1980s and we had a contract with other manufacturers. But then I started working for myself and we had our own factory and sold to retailers such as Charlotte Russe, JC Penney and Wet Seal,” she said. She left LA and moved to La Jolla in 1999 to be with her now-husband Jeff Sacks. She said being near the beach is inspiring for an artist and she often spends the day walking in the sand. u

5 Threats That Could Derail the housing Market In last month’s column, I discussed some of the expectations and predictions for the housing market in 2015. And much of that was good news. We appear to finally be safely out of the housing market crisis that has plagued the last seven years or so. And while we hope that 2015 continues down that path of recovery, there are still several factors that could disrupt this progress. If you are thinking of becoming a buyer or seller this year, here are five things to watch for:
1. Fewer foreign buyers In the last several years, the presence of foreign buyers has helped the housing market in its resurgence. There are signs, however, that point to this trend slowing dramatically. One of these factors is the strength of the dollar. The stronger dollar makes U.S. housing more expensive to foreign investors, especially for those in Europe where many economies are struggling. Russian buyers are especially having a hard time as they face plummeting oil prices, a weakening ruble, as well as international sanctions. According to the California Association of Realtors, the number of sales to international clients has dropped about 25%. 2. Investors cash out Along with foreign buyers, institutional investors also played a large role in the housing market’s recent recovery. They bought up thousands of properties and turned them into rentals. But because home price increases have slowed, the timing is
looking right for these investors to cash out and see significant returns on their investments. According to RealtyTrac, for those institutional investors who purchased a home in 2012, they could see a 38%-43% return if they sold now. This also means that far fewer institutional investors will be buying this year. 3. Difficulty in borrowing Although homeowners were ecstatic to learn that lenders like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had recently backed off on some of their strict lending standards, it doesn’t mean that getting a mortgage is necessarily going to be much easier. Most lending companies may still be nervous about the risk involved in many buyers. Last month, I talked about the hoards of millenials that will be entering the market as first-time buyers. But these potential buyers come with limited credit histories and stacks of debt in the form of student loans. Other applicants may be previous homeowners who lost their home to foreclosure but are
now looking to reenter the market. But these buyers come with damaged credit histories and other financial baggage. For these reasons, expect lenders to still be stringent with who they lend to. 4. Increasing mortgage rates While many experts are predicting the mortgage rates to stay fairly mild this year, hovering around 5%, there are no guarantees. The Federal Reserve, which sets the bar in this regard, could very well come out with something much higher than people are expecting. Stan Humphries, chief economist from Zillow, says that if rates climb to 6%, it would mean that home buyers in high-priced markets would be spending more than half of their income on housing. This could stall the market if home prices don’t then drop to something more affordable.

The Old Globe Theatre
‘Buyer & Cellar’ a crowd pleaser Let’s Review By Diana Saenger ctor David Turner — as Alex More — enters a very simple set at The Old Globe to reveal an almost unbelievable story in a one-man show. He’s holding a copy of Barbra Streisand’s book “My Passion for Design.” He immediately engages the audience in the story of how his partner Barry turned him on to an opportunity to work in a mall with several unique shops. But this was not any mall; it’s the one in the basement of Streisand’s Malibu home. Several times Turner repeats, “This is a fictional story,” yet his exuberance in telling and acting it out is so well done, one might believe it is true. Alex learns the ins and outs of the position through Streisand’s stern assistant, who vaguely explains the job with cautions about what he will and will not be to the famous actress. Once in the basement, Alex describes the shops, like the antique clothing store with some of Streisand’s movie wardrobe. There’s also a gift shop, doll shop, and a frozen yogurt shop. For a short while, Alex reminisces about his up-and-down life with Barry, as there is nothing else to do in that basement since no one comes there, especially not Streisand. Then one day the door squeaks open and Alex can hardly contain his excitement. Streisand stays only moments checking him out and then leaves. Each one’s loneliness is apparent in Turner’s appearances as both characters. Playwright Jonathan Tolins’ dialogue is delightfully intriguing, and Turner verbally and physically becomes all of the characters

From 10 Questions, B1 on mindless endeavors, like high speed rail, and refuse to undertake fiscal reform. We don’t have a revenue problem in California but an expenditure problem. Who or what inspires you? I’m inspired by people with integrity and vision, like Thomas Jefferson. If you hosted a small dinner party, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Michael Faraday, Isaac Newton, Adam Smith, Margaret Thatcher, John Locke, Benjamin Franklin, and my wife, Olivia. What are your favorite movies? I recommend “Modern Times,” “The 39 Steps,” “Marathon Man,” “American Beauty,” and “No Country for Old Men.” For those who want to read a good book, I recommend, “The Age of Wonder,” by Richard Holmes. What is your most-prized possession? A mural-sized original print of Ansel Adam’s “Moonrise over Hernandez.” What do you do for fun? My wife says e-mail, but I do torture myself with golf.

in the story at the turn of a dime, making the most of brilliant retorts. One of the best moments comes when Streisand plays a shopper interested in buying a doll (which she already owns) in the doll shop. She and Alex barter in a bounce-like tennis game at Wimbledon. Alex loves that she appreciates his tenacity to deny her a sale price. When she returns one day with a ploy to pay what she wants for the doll and not the price Alex chose, laughs burst forth. As Alex and Streisand become closer, he finally gets the one thing he’s longed for. But will it last? “Buyer & Cellar,” a hit off Broadway, is totally enjoyable and made even more entertaining by Turner’s exceptional performances of both happy and sad times through several characters … including James Brolin. u n IF YOU GO: “Buyer & Cellar,” runs through May 10 in The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.
