The answer: 150 … and the newly formed La Jolla Shores Business Association (LJSBA) wants to make them all more visible. Formerly the La Jolla Shores Merchants Association, the group held a mixer April 22 to present its preliminary ideas for enhancing the Shores business district and giving it “an identity.” Piatti restaurant manager and LJSBA member Tom Spano said he and five other business owners decided to form the association during brainstorming sessions held after each of a series of weekly meetings organized by the city. During the meetings, city staff provided the owners of hotels, offices, restaurants and non-merchant businesses in the Shores with updates on sewer and waterline work taking place along the business district’s main thoroughfare, which began in December 2013.

Rendering of a mixed-use structure La Jolla Shores residents Bob and Kim Whitney plan to • www.TheLotzofGroup.com Grande. Tim Martin/Martin Architecture build, as seen from the west along El Paseo

By Pat Sherman Like the weatherman portrayed by Bill Murray in the film “Groundhog Day,” La Jolla Shores residents Bob and Kim Whitney have been reliving the same impasse with community members and neighbor Myrna Naegle since 2009, when they first applied for permits to demolish their one-story properties at 2202 and 2206 Avenida de la Playa, and build a three-story, mixed-use building. Current plans include ground-floor retail, residential condos on the second and third floors, an elevator, underground garage and a car lift. Although the project features articulation and setbacks on its north, west and south sides, its east side — which faces Naegle’s property and living area — would be a solid, three-story wall of more than 60 feet, which Naegle says would prevent light and ventilation from reaching her property. “It would be dark, it would be devastating,” said Naegle, making her case yet again to the San Diego Planning Commission on April 16.

MORE OFFICE SPACE IN THE VILLAGE?

Struggling to land retail tenants, building owners seek OK to up office space La Jolla

Development Permit Review Committee By Pat Sherman he owners of the building at Prospect Street and Herschel Avenue that once housed Hotel Parisi are seeking to increase the amount of office space they are allowed per La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO) document — or blueprint for design. The majority of space on the second floor, which was occupied by the hotel before its May 2013 closing, is now leased by Morgan Stanley. However, on April 21, a representative for building owner PHP Management told members of La Jolla’s Development Permit Review (DPR) committee PHP has had difficulty leasing retail space on the ground floor. PHP Management is seeking a planned development permit from the city to deviate from the PDO to allow 50 percent office use on the ground floor of its building, where a maximum of 25 percent would otherwise be allowed.

Representing PHP Management (of which La Jolla businessman Peter Wagener is owner and president), Marcela Escobar-Eck of Atlantis Group told members of the DPR committee that the space in the building formerly occupied by Victoria’s Secret has been mostly vacant since the women’s clothing store closed in 2013. “Ironically, for one of the most prominent sites in that area, it’s been very difficult to find tenants,” said Escobar-Eck. Others in attendance agreed vacancies in the area are up, noting the array of empty commercial spaces on the same side of Prospect Street. La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance committee — which reviews development projects for adherence to the PDO document — voted unanimously April 13 that PHP Management’s proposal for 50 percent office use is not in conformance. PDO committee Chair Ione Stiegler said that by requiring a minimum of 50 percent retail and a maximum of 25 percent office space in the ground floor of commercial buildings in this area, La Jolla’s planning ordinance is vague. “Why this leaves 25 percent unaccounted for is not known,” Stiegler responded, via e-mail. “Our PDO interprets this as technically leaving 25 percent up for interpretation. However, the store frontage requirements — 75 percent retail and 25 percent office — are not up for interpretation, so we were holding them to this.”

entury Architecture | Unsurpassed View The owners of this building at Prospect Street and Herschel Avenue (once occupied by Hotel Parisi) say they have found it difficult to lease retail space. They are requesting a deviation from La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance to increase the amount of ground-floor office space allowed in the building. Pat Sherman

A follow-up motion stating that the PDO committee would “consider a condition where more than 25 percent of the ground floor area is office use, while no more than 25 percent of the linear street frontage is non-retail” was approved.

Much discussion during the DPR meeting centered on where an incoming retail tenant — such as a proposed café or wine bar — would be located, and how to maximize overall retail frontage in the building. See Permit Review, A4

The owner of this cottage-style office building at the corner of Ivanhoe Avenue and Silverado Street wishes to demolish the structure and construct a 4,104-square-foot, singlefamily residence of a similar style (rendering at right). Pat Sherman From Permit Review, A3 Escobar-Eck said the building’s depth makes it challenging to lease to retail tenants, who typically require less space than office tenants. She said she has been in discussions with the La Jolla Village Merchants Association to lease the front portion of one of the building’s street-facing units, while an office tenant would lease the remainder of the space. LJVMA currently leases a small portion of a building at 1162 Prospect St. to

run is Visitor Information Center. “Apparently they’re going to be leaving that location and having to find a new location,” Escobar-Eck said. “We would be working with them to move all or some of their activities. We thought that there might be an opportunity in the first 10 feet of our space to create some areas where information about La Jolla could be provided.” LJVMA director Sheila Fortune said via e-mail, she was not aware of these discussions.

PHP Management will continue its efforts to procure ground-floor retail tenants, Escobar-Eck said. However, allowing a greater percentage of office tenants will offer more flexibility marketing the property. PHP will consider feedback from its presentations to the PDO and DPR committees and return to each at a later date. In other DPR news: The committee unanimously voted to recommend the city approve permits to demolish a cottage-style

office building at 7804 Ivanhoe Ave. (at Silverado Street) and construct a 4,104-squarefoot, two-story, single-family home in a similar style (the Brockett residence). The city determined the building to be demolished is not historically significant. It was noted that the project, which includes an elevator and stairs ascending to its roof, also falls within La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance boundaries and must still be vetted by the PDO committee. u

Bob Whitney and son, Bobby Whitney (addressing the La Jolla Community Planning Association in December 2013), have fought unsuccessfully thus far with the community and San Diego City Council to get their family’s mixed-use project built, although the San Diego Planning Commission and a hearing officer have approved their plans several times since they were first presented in 2009. Light File From Whitney Project, A1

the Planning Commission his parents purchased their property in 2007, and that the first architect hired on the project was Myrna Naegle’s late husband, famed architect Dale Naegle. “We worked with Mr. Naegle and eventually concluded that we wanted to go in a different direction,” Bobby Whitney said, noting that Dale Naegle and others would go on to oppose his parents’ plans. “We’ve been put through the ringer procedurally and emotionally,” he said. “We’re really frustrated and exhausted at this point, but we’re determined because we’re really proud of the building we’ve designed.”

La Jolla Shores architect Phil Merten, who serves on the La Jolla Shores Permit Review committee — a subcommittee of the LJCPA — said his group has reviewed the project several times, and has also rejected it. Unlike the Village of La Jolla and the rest of San Diego, La Jolla Shores does not have established floor-area ratios (FARs) that help determine an appropriate size for development projects in relation to their lot size. However, Merten said that, by his estimation, the Whitney project would have a FAR one-third larger than what is allowed for similar projects elsewhere in La Jolla and San Diego.

Despite the absence of established FARs, Merten said the La Jolla Shores PDO and accompanying La Jolla Shores Design Manual, include language that prevent buildings from being constructed that are too large or out of character with the surrounding area. LJCPA president Joe LaCava concurred, adding that the lack of FARs in the Shores “makes it a little bit harder for the decision maker,” although he assured the La Jolla Shores PDO does include “qualitative measures” to control the mass and density of buildings. “The question in front of you is,

Also opposed to the project are the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) and some La Jolla Shores residents, who feel its bulk and scale are out of character with the neighborhood and fly in the face of the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (PDO) and La Jolla Shores Design Manual. Both were adopted to prevent further largescale development in the Shores, such as a four-story office building directly across Avenida de la Playa from the Whitneys’ property that was built in 1974. The Whitneys’ son, Bobby Whitney, told

should the project be judged against older projects that were rejected by the community and the City Council as not reflecting how the Shores should be developed going forward, or should it be judged by the Shores’ PDO?” LaCava said. Merten said Dale Naegle designed the building in which his widow still resides (that includes a ground-floor boutique) to be a template for that block, where a two-story façade would front Avenida de la Playa, while a smaller, understated third story is “tucked back underneath the sloping roof and attic portions of that building.” This socalled “shopkeeper” design provided for a total of 10 feet between adjoining properties to avoid blocking neighbors’ light and ventilation. Merten and others say Naegle’s intended model should be maintained on the block. Citing the four-story building across Avenida de la Playa (behind Laureate Park), Merten added, “The La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance was designed so that that never happens again. It was to maintain the two-story character on this commercial street.” Representing the Whitney family, land-use attorney Robin Madaffer argued that La Jolla Shores allows a maximum building height of 30 feet, the proposed height of her clients’ project. “Had (the community) wanted all the buildings to be two stories, I think they would have had a lower height limit,” Madaffer said, adding that, according to the La Jolla Shores PDO, buildings in the Shores’ commercial corridor are allowed 100 percent lot coverage, while the Whitney project proposes only 94 percent lot coverage.

This property owned by Myrna Naegle was designed by her late husband, architect Dale Naegle, to be the first in a series of ‘shopkeeper’ style homes in their block of Avenida de la Playa that would have five-foot setbacks on the second and third floors to allow light and ventilation to reach adjacent properties. Dale Naegle passed away in 2011 before this structure could be replicated on the block, though some argue his good-neighbor model should be repeated along this stretch of Avenida de la Playa. Pat Sherman Planning Commissioner Susan Peerson said she doesn’t believe any language in the Shores’ PDO precludes projects from fully utilizing their development potential. “I believe the character of the neighborhood will change, and I think that this is a project that’s a positive change,” Peerson said. “I appreciate the community’s concern, but I also believe these one-story buildings (along Avenida de la Playa) are going to be replaced with two- and threestory buildings. I do not see that this neighborhood is going to keep that small development envelope that we see now, nor should it. We’re encouraging our pedestrian areas where you have residences, employment and shopping that allow for a mix of uses and maximize the density.” Representing project opponents, attorney Julie Hamilton noted the Whitneys’ secondand third-story condos would be 3,179 and 2,780 square feet, while the ground-floor

retail space would be just 1,867 square feet. Although the Whitneys reduced the size of their project by about 500 square feet since it was first proposed, Hamilton argued that on the second and third floors “it is certainly possible to (further) reduce the size of this project and not suffer tremendously.” Planning Commissioner Douglas Austin said he would feel more comfortable with the project if it had a five-foot setback on its east side, following the model proposed by Dale Naegle. In the end, the Planning Commission voted 5-1 to approve the project (certifying its environmental report), with several “friendly amendments.” These include: a stipulation that vines covering the building to soften its appearance (as proposed in architectural renderings) be maintained in perpetuity; that solar panels be added to the project in accordance with the city’s Sustainable Building Expedite program; and

that a method be devised to alert pedestrians to a crosswalk at the corner. Planning Commission Chair Tim Golba and the commissioners went one step further, urging the Whitneys to work with their architect to create a setback in the east side of the building’s third story — and, if possible, its second story — to allow light and air into Naegle’s living quarters. Behind an elevator shaft facing Avenida de la Playa, Golba said, is “what I would call a no-man’s-land of a powder room, laundry room, closet and bath. “I have to believe that there’s a potential to provide something of an additional setback on the third floor as an attempt to reach a compromise,” he said. “This project’s gone on long enough. I have no doubt (it will be appealed). Between now and (when the project returns to) the City Council, let’s look for a solution. Nobody wants to see this drag on.” (LaCava confirmed the LJCPA filed an appeal on April 24.) Peerson said she agrees with a growing sentiment among Shores residents that the Shores PDO needs to be updated and revised to clear up some of the ambiguity that has dogged the Whitney project. “I’m seeing some vigorous nods (from the audience),” she noted. Golba said the Whitney project was part of the impetus for a recent update to the city’s land development code that prevents projects from perpetually bouncing back and forth between city decision makers. “This project is based on the old code, which allows this sort of pinball effect to take place,” he said. u

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

Bird Rock piano shop owner to stand trial on 38 counts

ollowing more than five hours of testimony during an April 23 preliminary hearing, a superior court judge ordered former Bird Rock piano store owner Peter Schroeder to stand trial on 38 counts of grand theft, elder abuse and misappropriation of funds. Nineteen victims say they placed pianos for sale on consignment at Schroeder’s La Jolla Boulevard piano shop, but received only part of the money Schroeder agreed to pay them, and did not have their instruments returned. La Jolla resident Thomas Hull, 80, said that in 2009 he left his late wife’s heirloom Steinway piano with Schroeder, who agreed to ask $34,000 for it. Hull said Schroeder was not present on subsequent visits to the piano shop, and did not return phone calls asking if the piano had sold. Hall said that only after stopping in with his daughter one day to request the piano be returned did he receive an e-mail from Schroeder informing him that the piano had been sold the previous day for $13,000. Hull said the most he has received to date is a cashier’s check for $2,000. Schroeder pleaded not guilty to all charges. A trial date will be set when he next appears in court, 1:30 p.m. May 7, San Diego Superior Court, Dept. 11, 220 W. Broadway.

Two men will face 61 felony charges in ‘safe syringe’ case Two men arrested in a medical equipment fraud investigation were charged with 61 felonies last month, accused of conning people into investing millions in an

allegedly safe syringe. La Jolla resident Matthew Mazur and business partner Carlos Manjarrez entered not guilty pleas to all charges after investigators found records indicating they collected about $64 million from their victims, according to Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Gianera. The men would show victims a prototype of a syringe called “SafeSnap,” in which the needle folded into a container that could be thrown away. They told investors they sold millions of the SafeSnap syringes, tricking them into investing in the U.S. Medical Products company, though there is no evidence the syringes were produced at that level, Gianera said The case alleges 15 victims paid $4 million to the company, though investigators believe there are more victims, who invested a total of $64 million since 2008. The judge set bail at $2 million for each defendant for charges that include tax fraud, elder abuse, grand theft and fraud. Gianera said a preliminary hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Aug. 3 in Dept. 11 of San Diego Superior Court. She said because the case involved numerous police reports and background checking, “it’s going to take the attorneys a substantial period of time to prepare.”

Mark McQueen gives a presentation on how a new La Jolla Shores website — enjoylajollashores.com — will help get the word out about local shops and services.

solar-powered trash compactors for public use; installing “you-are-here” maps that show surrounding businesses; and additional efforts that give the area “an identity,” such as an archway on both sides of Avenida de la Playa, similar to ones found in Solana Beach, Little Italy, Hillcrest and Encinitas; hosting more events like the Shores’ signature Fall Fest; and designing a logo to brand the area. Mark McQueen, who established enjoylajollashores.com with his marketing business soBEso, said, “It’s up to us to generate ideas to help the businesses and community grow and thrive. We are going to start with projects, get the needed support and input, secure capital through fundraisers and grants, and execute those plans.” The archway concept generated immediate excitement and support from attendees. Spano said the first step would be to determine project costs and solicit private donations. “This is where we as a group need to come together,” he

said. “We just have to get organized and move forward.” Spano said he spoke to the group in Solana Beach that installed the Cedros Avenue Design District archway and they advised him to have the archway posts installed on private property (to expedite the project and save money). However, the arch areas being considered would have one post on private property and the other on city property. It cost the Solana Beach group $90,000 to install two archways, 14 years ago, Spano said. LJSBA is also in the process of becoming a 501(c) 6 nonprofit organization so it can accept donations. The group will continue meeting and will report to the La Jolla Shores Association during its monthly meetings, 6:30 p.m. second Wednesdays at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Building T-29, 8840 Biological Grade. u n For more information on the La Jolla Shores Business Association, visit enjoylajollashores.com

“The construction really brought us together,” Surf Diva co-owner Izzy Tihanyi said. “We realized we can’t just let this disruption happen without coming together and making the area better afterward.” During the brainstorming sessions, the business owners discussed ways to enhance the area to make it more attractive to visitors. Hoping to establish a group with a unified goal of representing all types of businesses – and with the blessing of La Jolla Merchants Association’s founding members – the group was re-born as the La Jolla Shores Business Association. With its formation, the LJSBA established a new formal mission: “To promote economic vitality and community involvement in La Jolla Shores; by providing valuable services to our members and community; to participate and partner in initiatives that protect, beautify and improve the quality of life in La Jolla Shores area.” “What we realized is that we, as a group of businesses, need to be more proactive in representing ourselves,” Spano said, adding that many areas have a Business Improvement District (BID) or Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) that businesses or residents can pay into. “We don’t have that here, so we need to be more creative and work together.” The LJSBA could not be included in the La Jolla Village Merchants Association BID group because the Shores is located outside the Village’s 30-block BID boundary, Spano explained. Member Angie Preisendorfer noted that 2 to 3 million people visit the beach at La Jolla Shores each year and her goal is redirect some of those visitors to the shops, restaurants and services near and along Avenida de la Playa. LJSBA has already launched enjoylajollashores.com — a website that showcases Shores resources and businesses by category and lists events. Other ideas include: installing a gazebo in Laureate Park, less than a half-mile from the beach on Avenida de la Playa and often mistaken for frontage of a four-story office building there; adding more lighting on Avenida de la Playa and making it uniform with existing lighting; adding more

Spotlight on Local

Pathfinder Partners leads the way for serious investors By Marti Gacioch ith their fifth general opportunity fund gaining momentum, Pathfinder Partners is now leading the way for serious investors of multifamily residential buildings (including apartments, townhomes and condominiums). Co-founder Lorne Polger, a former real estate lawyer, and his partner, Mitch Siegler, predicted the looming real estate crash two years before it hit and saw a huge financial opportunity in the making. “We saw a lot of sloppy underwriting by investors and lenders and recognized the opportunity to take advantage of a looming crash two years before it happened,” Polger said. “We believed the banks would be the next owners of real estate and began calling on them in 2006.” Polger’s foresight began to pay off when he and Siegler bought their first defaulted loan in 2006 and their second one 60 days later. Realizing the huge potential, they reached out to investors to raise their first fund in 2007. They currently have about 600 investors, and about 80 percent of them are from San Diego (with many in La Jolla). Investors fit into three groups: high net worth individuals, wealth management firms putting their clients’ money into alternative investments and institutions. “We’ve been able to successfully and quickly deploy the capital we’ve raised along the way, and over nine years we’ve bought approximately $750 million in assets,” Polger said. Pathfinder Partners is now actively deploying their fifth

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.

general opportunity fund. They saw their first closing of that fund in January, and have now raised more than $33 million. The target is to raise between $100 million and $150 million for that fund, which they will keep open for new investors until December. With appropriate leverage, they plan to keep buying assets over the next 18 to 24 months. “There aren’t any more large tracts of land left in the county, but we think San Diego is ripe for interesting urban infill and adaptive reuse and redevelopment,” Polger said. “We think the future of residential real estate in San Diego will be smaller, bite-size infill types of development and we’re actively participating in such projects in the South Bay area, Vista and central San Diego.” Pathfinder Partners is also investing in neglected 50s, 60s and 70s high-end luxury homes along Los Angeles’ Sunset corridor (Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades), as well as residential housing in five key US cites: Seattle, Portland, Denver, Phoenix and San Diego.

San Diego’s leader in chimney repair speaks out on family, integrity for 30th year in business By Steve Carter Chimney Sweeps, Inc. amily is very important to me and I have always taken pride in working shoulder to shoulder with those I love. What makes Chimney Sweeps, Inc. so successful is the uncompromising loyalty that I receive from my family. My wife, Valerie, takes care of all the financial aspects of our company. If you have any questions along those lines, she is always happy to hear from you. Sister, Georgia, is usually the one answering the phone during the day, so if you have any questions or want to set up an appointment, she is always on hand to help you. My son, Julian, is in charge of the office in general and makes sure things are running smoothly and my customers are receiving speedy, effective service. I’ve trained him well, so he can usually answer any technical questions you may have. My son, Ariel, you’ll probably see on your doorstep from time to time for special installations or general inspections.

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

OUR READERS WRITE Kudos should be given to water conservers Given the exceptional drought the majority of this state is in, I’m surprised that national papers far removed from California have done the best and most thorough media coverage on this topic. When my family visited New York City last summer just about every friend and family member we saw brought up the drought within the first few topics. It was a reality check. Why aren’t we talking about this more with neighbors and friends here? Would you consider a new feature in your paper highlighting the changes local families are making to reduce or reuse their water? Every day as I drive on Prestwick Drive in La Jolla Shores I’m impressed to see many homes have recently let their front lawns die. Others have already replaced their lawns with gorgeous draught-tolerant landscaping. How about some before and after shots? This street has some very smart and ecoconscious residents. Good things are contagious! Edi Nelson Editor’s Note: Having just returned from a vacation drive up the coast to Monterey, I can report California’s central coast has surely been affected by the lack of water — at The Getty Villa, the pools and fountains have been drained; at Hearst Castle, the restrooms have been closed and visitors must use porta-potties outside the entrance; and along the great Grapevine pass, farmers have posted miles of roadway signs blaming the politicians in Sacramento for the lack of water. Furthermore, restaurants were not serving water unless requested, hotel room showerheads were modified to reduce water flow, guests were urged to curtail maid service, and just about everywhere were notices reminding visitors of California’s drought conditions. As San Diego reacts to the crisis, news coverage will increase. The Light loves your idea for publishing the before and after photos of La Jollans’ efforts to reduce water use. We welcome the first submissions at editor@lajollalight.com

Town Council, Planning Association must join forces to end Cove Stench

marine mammal problems at local beaches. The city has been remarkably successful at doing nothing. But now it is faced with a more important challenge about increasing risk to the city from aggressive harem bull sea lions. The city can use the MMPA section 109(h) exception to remove the sea lions from the bluffs and beaches with impunity if it so desires. Thus far, it has not been politically expedient to do so. MMPA Section 109(h) states, in part, “any local government official or employee or a designated person has the right to remove a marine mammal for the protection of the public health and welfare or of a nuisance animal.” Presently, it is less expensive for the city to do nothing than to act. A La Jolla organization officially sanctioned by the city would be allowed to act under MMPA Section 109(h) The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) operates under City of San Diego City Council Policy 600-24. This policy states in part, “It is also the policy of the City Council that the City shall indemnify, and The City Attorney Shall defend, a community planning group or its individual members in accordance with … An Ordinance Providing for Defense and Indemnification of Community Planning Groups” The city is obligated to defend the LJCPA as a group, and individually, for acts it performs as part of the “official” duties — whether paid or not. Since the LJCPA is an arm of the City of San Diego it retains the right to designate a person(s) right to remove a marine mammal for the protection of the public health and welfare or of a nuisance animal. All that is lacking are some funds and the will to remove the sea lions. The best group to act is the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC). It has access to the business community most impacted by the sea lions, but it does not directly have the authority to act: it can be given that authority by the LJCPA! I suggest LJTC make arrangements to remove the sea lions from the Cove under the direction of the LJCPA, which has the legal authority to so. If the city will not help us solve our challenge then we must do it ourselves. David W. Valentine, Ph.D. Retired UCSD marine biologist

Kayakers may have a link to Cove stench

May I make a simple suggestion for quelling the stench at La Jolla Cove? Keep the kayakers away from the rocks along the Coast Walk cliffs where the sea lions and their harems used to live. I’ve lived in La Jolla for many years and there was never a stench problem at the Cove until the hoards of kayakers came right up to the rocks and scared the sea lions away, so they took up residency on the rocks at the Cove. Return them to the Coast Walk cliff rocks, keep the kayakers out of the area with buoy markers and warning signs and, hopefully, no more Cove Stench. Barbara Seegmiller

Seals, sea lions would be better off in Baja As a 48-year resident of La Jolla, I’ve had many occasions to swim and snorkel in the Children’s Pool along with maybe a dozen or less seals playfully swimming near and right up to me. Fearless and curious. Not even slightly harassed by my presence in the water. I’ve seen the hundreds of letters over the years regarding the seals and always read them while shaking my head at both the absurd amount of time and energy spent on the topic and at how poorly so many people try and argue their case for why the seals should be welcome at the Children’s Pool and now sea lions at La Jolla Cove. Recent letters stating the seals “were here first and are now living in a Marine Protected Area” and “harbor seals and sea lions have a right to be here as it is their habitat not ours” are both technically correct. The OCEAN is their habitat. We, as land dwellers have the LAND, which includes the shoreline and beach as our habitat. We take the occasional dip into their habitat and they sun themselves in our habitat. For decades, they did this quite happily on Seal Rock, well away from the shoreline. The problem is our dips into their habitat last from 10 minutes to maybe a couple of hours (if we’re SCUBA diving). While there, we don’t defecate; don’t give birth (and all that entails); and we aren’t a danger to the marine life we

Those who have followed the controversy surrounding the odor emanating from La Jolla Cove are aware that the culprit is sea lion fecal material. Temporary measures to alleviate this situation have been suggested. What is needed is a permanent solution: removing the source. Federal law makes it is illegal for any state or local government to regulate marine mammals within their jurisdiction with one exception. The city claims it cannot control the sea lions at the Cove; the situation is beyond the city’s jurisdiction, so it is essentially futile to push the city to take a leadership role. It is illegal to harass marine mammals under federal law. That makes it illegal to encourage the harassment of marine mammals as the city has done by removing the barrier separating humans and sea lions. The city has not been, is not now, and never will be, monitored by NOAA for its Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) actions. The federal government will not prosecute the city for MMPA violations. Historically, only District 1 City Council representatives have been in favor of addressing

Who do we thank for the new Coast Walk Trail bench?

are swimming around. They, however, spend hours in our habitat polluting it, threatening our inhabitants if they come too close, birthing, dying, urinating and defecating, and generally causing a disturbance and nuisance to what is normally a safe, serene environment. Please spare me the idiocy of trying to bring to this debate big industry, be it oil or fisheries, as examples of those same human offenses. That issue has zero relevance to this problem. Realize also that there are thousands of miles of sandy beaches from here to Cabo San Lucas that are wide open and free of human “harassment.” I suggest not only relocating the seals but helping to fund seawalls up and down Baja to accommodate the pupping season and bring similar tourism to those towns. We all, supposedly, so hugely benefit from having the Children’s Pool (and now the Cove) as such big tourism draws to our area, despite the polluted waters and bluffs — both of which have been the REAL draw for decades. Perhaps Baja California could also benefit from the ability to see Marine mammals hauling out in their habitat. We could help by relocating a few of our treasured tourist-dollar draws as a good faith gesture, and then we might even get back some of those other tourists who used to come here for the clean air, serenity, sand and safe beaches that La Jolla Cove and the Children’s Pool once were. You know, the ones who used to come and stay in our hotels for a few days or for a few weeks? Eat at the restaurants? Shop the Village? Instead of just the ones we have now who come for the day to take photos and gawk from the bluffs above, leave litter in the streets from their fast-food lunches picked up on the way in, and then leave only to be counted as a “visitor to see the seals.” Starbucks probably benefited, so that’s cool. Right? Kevin Osment

neighborhood because we have a 72-hour parking restriction that allow waiters, clerks, etc. to park all day and into the night without paying or being ticketed. I’ve lived on Park Row for four years now and not once has the gutter area of the street been swept. The street cleaner does come every other month on the third Thursday, but when he arrives at 9 a.m., the street is filled with the parked cars of folks working in the Village and thus the area where trash builds is never cleaned. You can only imagine the items that accumulate … or maybe you can’t. For example, this week human waste with towels was left across the street from my home on the circle on Park Row. I suggest that the business community take a closer look at how they affect the neighborhoods of our Village with their employee parking etc. How do we get someone to clean the human waste in the street where maybe visitors might park and might step in? The Park Row area is a victim here. Ed Witt

Enter “Ico Dance.” A friend encouraged me to try this class, just once. When I finally did, I fervently wished I’d been able to have such a class years ago. Our warm, joyous and incredibly supportive teacher, Amanda Banks, leads us through exercises in body awareness, then simple guided dance steps (not so simple for me, but I’m progressing!) and finally, free dance expressions in which we move to music in our own different ways. This class has been a revelation. I can dance! “Ico Dance” is open to men and women of all ages, and at the moment, we have one man and four or five women, ages 50s (I’m guessing) to an exuberant dancer of 82. Amanda has made a short video of the class that she put on YouTube. You might enjoy seeing what our tiny but varied group can do. I know your feature space is incredibly limited, and I’m sure you are besieged by readers who want their own favorite organizations highlighted, but I’m old enough to know that “Ico Dance” is something very special.

Loss of recycling center causes Fun dance class at community center needs more participants a hassle for local residents I’m writing to share my enthusiasm for an unusual class I discovered at the La Jolla Community Center. It is a very small class, and I find it so stimulating and enriching that I fear unless a few more people learn about it, our wonderful teacher might not be able to continue. The class is “Ico Dance.” You mention it in your community calendar, but unless you see what happens in this Monday morning hour, you would not know why it is so extraordinary. I’ve always been a terrible dancer. In eighth grade (the Dark Ages), I took the required “social dancing” class in gym. For a while, I could do a two-step, a fox trot, and even (with some tension) a waltz. But soon rock and roll began, and I was lost. I felt awkward, clumsy and completely disconnected from rhythmic movement. As the years passed, I became too embarrassed even to try. I resigned myself to having little or no connection between my brain and my feet.

When Haggen took over Albertsons on Turquoise Street last month, they cleared out the recycling center that was set up there for residents in Bird Rock, La Jolla and Pacific Beach. It was such a good service and contributed to reducing our trash as well as reclaiming our CRV fees. Now we have to drive out of the area — definitely more hassle. u Beryl Flom

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS City’s discussion on vacation rentals held over to May 29

La Jolla High’s Varsity Academic League team includes Clay Halbert,

n April 22 meeting of the San Diego City Council’s Smart Growth and Land Use Committee, at which proposed regulation of vacation rentals was discussed, attracted so many speakers on both sides of the issue that many people were turned away and the committee decided to continue the hearing at its May 29 meeting. At that time, all four members will be present to finish listening to public comments and provide city staff with guidance for rewriting what are now vague, out-of-date regulations that don’t directly govern the kind of vacation rentals popularized by home-sharing sites like Airbnb.com Homeowners who say their neighborhoods have been overrun by vacation rental properties that disturb their peace day and night pleaded with council members to strictly regulate short-term stays and beef up enforcement of neighborhood nuisance violations. Meanwhile, other property owners urged elected leaders to not over-regulate home sharing, which they say has allowed them to fix up their homes, pay their mortgages and supplement fixed incomes. Representatives of professional rental management companies also weighed in. “The goal we have is to provide our staff with direction to clarify the municipal code as it relates to short-term rentals,” council committee chairwoman Lorie Zapf told the overflow crowd. The effort, though, could take at least a year or more to complete, the city’s Independent Budget Analyst office warned in a report that it produced for the April 22 meeting. Just a day earlier, the Carlsbad City Council approved an ordinance that would limit short-term vacation rentals to only the city’s coastal zone, despite a staff recommendation that they be allowed throughout Carlsbad. The legislation culminated more than a year of study and public review. Throughout the county regulations vary, with Coronado barring short-term rentals, Solana Beach limiting them to

seven-day minimum stays and Encinitas permitting them but not in multifamily dwellings or condominiums. In San Diego, there is nothing in the municipal code that precisely defines a vacation rental, although the regulations that come closest are those governing bed-and-breakfasts, where residents are renting out one or more rooms in a house in which they are living. In some cases, special permits are needed that require owners to notify surrounding neighbors, while in other cases, it is not necessary. — Lori Weisberg, Special to La Jolla Light

Residents want lit crosswalk at Westbourne/La Jolla Blvd. La Jolla Traffic and Transportation

By Ashley Mackin At the La Jolla Traffic and Transportation (T&T) advisory board meeting April 23, a plea for a pedestrian-activated blinking lighted crosswalk across La Jolla Boulevard at Westbourne Street was voiced. “I’ve almost been hit crossing through there,” said resident Bill Fitzmaurice. “This is right by La Jolla High School and Muirlands Middle School and a lot of students use that way to get to the beach. I’ve witnessed people not providing the right-of-way to pedestrians in that crosswalk. It’s a horror story.” Resident Melinda Merryweather added, “I’ve actually seen a person hit. I try and cross (the street there) with my bike all the time and it’s a struggle.” She said there is a stoplight one block south at Nautilus Street, and theorized that drivers will “hit the gas” as soon as the light turns green or race through a yellow light, unaware that there is a crosswalk so close by. Additionally, one attendee noted that even if a car stops for a pedestrian, a bigger

issue arises when the second car or third driver in line gets impatient because they don’t know why they’re stopping and they use the left turn lane to pass the car in front of them. A petition in support of additional safety measures, started by residents Nathan and Stephanie Jernigan and signed by 300 nearby residents and business owners, was also presented at the meeting. T&T chair Todd Lesser suggested those who want to see improved safety measures write letters to San Diego City Council president Sherri Lightner’s office, especially if the letters document an accident or near-miss. “Our council representative will not want to disregard the wishes of hundreds of voters, so if every person on that petition writes a letter, that makes an impact. The city needs to be told this is important,” Lesser said. He added he would pass along the suggestions to the city, but could not guarantee that it would recommend a lighted crosswalk to improve safety. “The city will have to evaluate the situation, including looking at the number of cars driving by and applying a point system,” he said. “After an area gets a certain number of points, the city will say ‘something needs to be done here.’ It sounds like you have met that, but the city will have to determine what it can do to improve safety.” Lesser noted the city might determine having a crosswalk there is too dangerous based on the number of cars and remove it

La Jollans are petitioning for a blinking, lighted crosswalk on La Jolla Boulevard at Westbourne Street, near a 7-Eleven. Ashley Mackin completely, directing pedestrians to cross at Nautilus Street. The next crosswalk to the north is six blocks up, at Genter Street. Lesser also recommended privately funding the project to save costs and time. He said the blinking crosswalk across Girard Avenue between La Jolla Elementary School and Gillispie School — through which approximately 800 children cross daily, and despite support from the community —

took at least six years to get funded. “The best option is to have city staff look at the area and tell us what the viable solution is,” he said, adding those recommendations would be reported at a future meeting. T&T did not vote on the proposal, and will next meet 4 p.m. Thursday, May 28 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Draper Ave. lajollacpa.org u

Watch Out! Mack the Knife coming to UCSD

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt ack the Knife, he’s the original smooth criminal at the dark comic heart of “The Threepenny Opera,” a legendary piece of musical theater that’s getting a 21st century update next month at UCSD’s Conrad Prebys Music Center. Adapted as a German version of John Gay’s “The Beggar’s Opera,” a big hit in London in 1728, “Die Dreigroschenoper” (The Threepenny Opera) opened in a small theater in Berlin 200 years later, showcasing the unconventional talents and edgy style of poet/playwright/director Bertolt Brecht and composer Kurt Weill. The cast of prostitutes, beggars, corrupt cops and wily crooks included Weill’s wife, Lotte Lenya. Despite the rise of Nazism, “The Threepenny Opera” was soon being seen throughout Europe, though its 1933 Broadway debut was less than stellar. Also in 1933, Brecht and Weill fled Hitler’s Germany for less-threatening locations. According to Wikipedia, the first theater performance in post-war Berlin of “Threepenny,” was a rough 1945 production staged in a ruined theater, with some of the actors authentically ragged and haggard, only recently released from concentration camps. In all, “Threepenny” has been translated into 18 languages and performed more than 10,000 times. In 1954, a smart new adaptation by playwright/ lyricist Marc Blitzstein opened off-Broadway. It won two Tonys, one for Lenya as Jenny and a special award for the show itself, which became, at that time, the longest-running musical in New York. See Threepenny Opera, B17

Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

‘Nemesis’ showcases the work of artist Nicole Eisenman By David L. Coddon he work of French-born, New Yorkbased artist Nicole Eisenman, whether on canvas, on paper or in sculpture, is both bold and visionary, thoughtful commentary on history and community. It’s no wonder Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) assistant curator Elizabeth Rooklidge calls Eisenman “one of the leading figurative artists of her generation.” Visitors to the museum will be able to see for themselves beginning May 9 when MCASD opens “Dear Nemesis, Nicole Eisenman 1993-2013,” a mid-career retrospective that will feature more than 120 works, from painting and drawing to sculpture and printmaking, in four gallery spaces. The traveling exhibition comes to La Jolla from the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania, following its origination at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis where it was curated by Kelly Shindler. The works will be on display through Sept. 6. (Simultaneously, MCASD will open an exhibition by Los Angeles-based abstract artist Sarah Cain, “SARAH CAIN blue in your body, red when it hits the air,” on display until July 19. (See story on B6.) “These are two artists whose work is particularly relevant right now and relevant in the context of our history. Both artists are painters and to a certain extent each of

‘Breakup’ (left) and ‘Deep Sea Diver’ by Nicole Eisenman their work is about the history of painting and about what it means to be a woman painter,” said Rooklidge. “Both are engaging with history. Nicole Eisenman is doing so more overtly. She references an astonishing array of art historical movements and styles, and mixes them together, sometimes even in one painting.” These references include “all of the great Western masters of art history,” added Rooklidge. “Everything from

Renaissance painters to Hieronymous Bosch … to the social realist painters of the ’20s.” Vibrant colors, either on their own or in contrast, characterize Eisenman’s paintings, in part to “disrupt the seriousness of modernist painting with what you’d call feel-good color,” said Rooklidge. Yet some of Eisenman’s images are unsettling, even disturbing. “Sometimes,” she said, “it’s quite shocking and it makes us feel

DED!

uncomfortable. It’s very effective in that sense. One of the basic things Nicole Eisenman’s work is about is what it means for us to live in a human, messy, uncomfortable body, and the difficulty sometimes in relating to each other and living with our identity. At its heart, it’s about trying to make connections with others and live in a community.” In this vein, Eisenman’s work addresses identity issues. “That’s one of her main subjects: gender identity, sexuality, the way those various notions are communicated,” Rooklidge said. “She approaches them in a variety of ways not often portrayed in the history of art.” MCASD expects both the Eisenman and Cain exhibitions to heighten visitors’ appreciation for the breadth of making contemporary art. “We hope that people will walk away with a whole sense of the possibilities of painting,” said Rooklidge. “That contemporary artists are not confined by the legacy that they are working in. “They are able to break the boundaries of the past. The present and the future of contemporary painting are offering a host of new possibilities.” u n IF YOU GO: “Dear Nemesis, Nicole Eisenman 1993-2013.” May 9-Sept. 6.

Whisknladle Hospitality offers a taste of Italy with Catania By Kelley Carlson hisknladle Hospitality’s newest concept restaurant, Catania, brings the flavors from the coast of Italy to the West Coast. Inspired by a 1,400-mile road trip taken through the European country six years ago, owner Arturo Kassel and culinary director/partner Ryan Johnston channeled their fondest memories into Catania. The eatery — named for the city in eastern Sicily — opened March 16 and has been wellreceived by the community. “One of the things that has made us successful in our first month is the La Jolla regulars,” general manager Steven McGlynn said. “We’ve built a reputation with Whisknladle and Prepkitchen over seven years. They trust us and know what we want to do.” Located on the third floor of La Plaza La Jolla shopping center, Catania evokes images of a coastal Italian village through its décor and ocean views. But the fare isn’t entirely Sicilian-based — it represents all regions of the country. Catania executive chef Vince Schofield creates much of it from scratch, using organic ingredients when possible. Because of his desire to ensure the freshest foods, the menu is seasonal and constantly changing. To truly experience the flavors of Catania, patrons may want to consider sharing items. There are roasted spot prawns; the delicate Halibut Crudo set in swirls of beet

Patrons can choose between Catania’s dining room with contemporary decor or the patio with ocean views. Photos by Kelley Carlson puree, sprinkled with poppy seeds and surrounded by basil leaves, beet chips and blood orange slices; and the earthy-flavored Porcini Mushroom Salad tossed with shaved asparagus and Pecorino Toscano, herbs, walnuts and sherry vinaigrette. Then there are the Italian staples,

including pizzas and pastas. Catania offers several Neapolitan-style pies that are crisped in a wood-burning oven, such as the spicy Diavola with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, slices of coppa and chili oil, atop a thin crust. Pastas range from the Squid Ink and Octopus Spaghetti to Duck

Sugo Orecchiette. For “large shares,” selections include the Alaskan Halibut Aqua Pazza, featuring fish resting in a bed of Bloomsdale spinach with fennel, basil, Gloria Tamai Farms tomatoes, garlic and chili (for a bit of a kick). Rounding out the food menu are desserts overseen by Whisknladle Hospitality corporate chef Jojo Rossi, a first generation Sicilian-American. Among them are the popular Gelato Con Brioche; and Torta di Pistachio, which is topped with macerated strawberries and a scoop of lemon sorbet, and garnished with candied pistachios. Such decadent treats deserve a pairing with a shot of espresso. Libations at Catania also carry a heavy Italian influence. Cocktails conceived by Adam Lockridge include the Grigio Bianco, a subtly sweet and slightly minty composition of gin, Carpano Bianco vermouth, lemon, thyme and white wine; and Signora e Signore with Aperol, Cynar, Amaro Nònino, prosecco and Angostura bitters. Beers are imported from Italy, with the exception of Birra Catania, a hoppy, spiced Belgian-style brew created exclusively for the restaurant by New English Brewing Co. The wine list consists of about 100 labels, some imported from Italy and others created from the country’s varietals. One that goes well with nearly all of Catania’s offerings is the rich, ruby-hued Cantina Ripa Teatina “Don Feuccio” Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. u

Decompress with anti-stress foods: Part 1

o coincidence that April is National Stress Awareness Month — tax time, college acceptance deadlines, spring break insanity and the change of seasons that all wreak havoc on the mind, body and soul. While we turn to gustatory delights as a source of solace, a hearty plate of high fat, artery-clogging “comfort” foods are just a temporary fix. We need to tap into the tranquil properties of choice foods rather than use decadent ones as emotional crutches. Here’s the A-(nti-anxiety) List of the top stress busters, along with some helpful tips for easy, breezy entertaining and dining. n Stalk options: Green, purple and albino asparagus spears have a plentiful store of folate, a Vitamin B complex to boost cardiovascular health and cool your heels. Steam and drizzle with a lemon vinaigrette, stir-fry, grill or be naughty and wrap in bacon and roast to a crispy crunch. n Berry up: Whether blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries, these antioxidant/Vitamin C powerhouses have been found to lower levels of cortisol in the body, a stress hormone that has been linked to serious health concerns including

weight gain, belly fat, a compromised immune system and cognitive deterioration. Whip up a mixed berry salsa, an English berry trifle, a parfait with a balsamic glaze or pop them straight up. n Nuts and bolts: Rich, crunchy, protein-packed cashews dial up chicken salads, Thai stir fries, grilled wild caught fish, pilafs, burgers and oatmeal. Or divinely ground into a creamy butter for dips, spreads and sandwiches; how about roasted and seasoned with assorted herbs for a savory snack. All forms provide a motherlode of zinc (a mineral that needs to be replenished regularly as the body can’t store it), to boost the immune system, jack up energy levels, metabolize the sleep hormone melatonin for some peaceful zzz’s, and elevate mood to help put the skids on anxiety and depression. Almond’s serene affect stems from its rich store of Vitamins E and B, along with zinc, phosphorous and dietary fiber for a euphoric sense of well-being. While raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds provide a load of magnesium, a mighty mineral to rev up energy production, keep the nervous system on a healthy keel, and relax tense and knotty muscles.

n Method: Sprinkle bacon with sugar. Cut each piece of bacon lengthwise in two strips. Wrap asparagus with bacon and place single file on parchmentlined cookie sheet. Place in cold oven set at 400 degrees F. Bake until bacon is crisp, about 20 minutes.

n Your cup of tea: Sip a cup of soporific chamomile tea before bedtime for a soothing liquid lullaby to calm the jitters. Add a splash of almond milk and a drizzle of honey for a sweet, low cal treat. n Turn over a new leaf: Dark leafy greens, especially Swiss chard, arugula and spinach ramp up the body’s stress response by regulating the function of many systems. Chard, a powerful warrior against high blood pressure and blood sugar levels, thanks to its rich store of antioxidants, vitamins (A, D, E and K), and minerals, including magnesium, calcium and iron, knocks stress off its feet.

because this fowl is loaded with tryptophan, an amino acid that spurs serotonin production in the brain, a chemical linked to regulating mood balance and staving off depression. So eat moderate amounts, and where possible, free range organic birds to bring on a feeling of calm and relaxation. n Sew some wild oats: This creamy complex carb triggers the brain to produce serotonin to create a sense of calm and cool. Choose groats (whole oat kernel with hull removed) and steel cut or Irish oats (groats chopped with a steel blade) over instant or quick rolled versions, which are more refined with less nutritional content. u

Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

Painter Sarah Cain exhibits her world of blue and red By David L. Coddon ainting is in Sarah Cain’s blood. It’s fitting, then, that the title of her exhibition that opens May 9 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is “SARAH CAIN blue in your body, red when it hits the air.” “Color is so emotional for me and a way of pulling me through things,” said the Los Angeles-based abstract painter. “It’s the one thing that hasn’t changed since I started making art as a kid. Sometimes I’ll force myself to make a show that’s black and white or all neutral just to show I can do it. But color is so seductive.” The words of the title are Cain’s own and the same as that of a particular painting in the exhibition. “It has multiple meanings to me, but it’s generally about blood,” she said. “It can be something inside your body and something outside your body. It’s about a relationship that has two sides, or two realities.” “Blue in your body …” is Cain’s first solo museum project, and in addition to the title it’s an unusual one. Besides her own work, the exhibition will include peers’ art from Cain’s own personal collection and works borrowed from MCASD’s permanent collection. The latter includes pieces by John Divola, Ana Mendieta, Fred Sandback

‘California’ by Sarah Cain

and Alfred Jensen. “A lot of the work of the other artists that I picked have to do with the body,” Cain said. “They all relate to the main things in my practice.” Cain describes her creative ethos in terms of “breaking down definitions. My whole practice is about challenging painting and what painting can be, and to do that within the traditional canvas is the ultimate challenge. A lot of the paintings have things sewn on or extended off the canvas.” Intuition plays a significant role in Cain’s art making. “It’s all an organic process and it’s usually feeling-based. Sometimes it is material-based. I’ll do an experimentation and it ends up being the painting.” The vivid colors of Cain’s work and her artistic adventurism make her exhibition an ideal companion to MCASD’s “Dear Nemesis, Nicole Eisenman 1993-2013,” opening the same day. “I like Nicole Eisenman’s work,” said Cain. “I couldn’t be in better company peer-wise.” u n IF YOU GO: “SARAH CAIN blue in your body, red when it hits the air.” May 9-July 19.

Rotary makes a difference with Tijuana Scholars Lab From Rotary Reports

a Jolla Rotary Club runs The Scholars Lab Program to help children in some of the worst-off “colonias” in Tijuana, Mexico obtain access to schooling, and is seeking volunteers and financial support to help with the effort. The program was started in 1998 by John Vaughan, Henry Branstetter and Tina Deroche as a cross-border collaboration to assist elementary school children. However, by 2002, it was clear the neediest students were in middle and high school because it becomes difficult for many to continue their schooling past sixth grade. The founders partnered with La Jolla Rotary Club to expand it and gain support. Next, organizers joined forces with the Tijuana El Centro Rotary to forge a deeper connection with the community and find the best students for the project, based on academic performance, citizenship grades and family support. Twenty-seven Tijuana students were chosen for the first class. Each was given a monthly $50 stipend once they promised to stay in school and attend the Saturday sessions. The mission was to help all 27 graduate from high school. Weekly instruction was offered in

From Threepenny Opera, B1 Now Grammy-winning soprano Susan Narucki, who joined UCSD’s music faculty in 2008, has re-visioned “Threepenny” for Kallisti, the vocal ensemble she founded so her graduate students could introduce audiences to extraordinary music for voice. Narucki once again teamed up with actor/ director Ruff Yeager, who directed Kallisti’s last chamber opera production, the acclaimed “Cuatro Corridos,” in 2013. Together with Michael Mizerany, known for his provocative choreography, they are staging a “Threepenny” for our times, set in Washington, D.C., two years in the future, during the furor surrounding the inauguration of the new president — a woman. They’re using the Blitzstein adaptation, but giving the piece an ultra-modern look, creating a world of social media, Tea Party evangelists, drug dealers, prostitutes of different sexes, and would-be profiteers of the contemporary kind. “ ‘Threepenny Opera’ is really about the 99 percent and the 1 percent, corruption in government and politics, and the glamorization of criminals, so it’s completely relevant to today,” Narucki said. “And it has a special kind of dark humor, so you’re never quite sure about what’s happening: is this

computer skills and the English language, required for university in Mexico. The Scholars Lab secured classroom space, donated computers, tables and books. For years, La Jolla Rotary Club members volunteered Saturday mornings and drove across the border to tutor students. Over time, it became more realistic to communicate via Skype, which has become the primary form of communication as the program has grown. Currently, there are 30 students enrolled in four levels of English classes taught mostly by La Jolla Rotary members and other San Diego volunteers. Every student receives $55 per month and has English/ computer lessons for two hours each Saturday. El Centro Rotary Club members and student teachers from Tijuana University also volunteer. To date, nine groups of students have graduated high school and continue to achieve success. Among the graduates is a Ph.D. student in marine biology, a paralegal, a computer-programming engineer, a dental hygienist, and others in areas of entrepreneurship and education.

In that way we’re evocative of the Berlin cabaret scene in the late 1920s and early ‘30s.” There are two distinct worlds in this production, staged in the Music Center’s small but versatile Experimental Theater. There’s the slick, Facebook world of selfcreated image, and the seedy, lower world of outsiders, ne’er-do-wells, and rabblerousers. There are even two Mackies, one a dapper, smooth-talking urbanite, the other a chains-and-leather rock star. And Narucki and Yeager are playing the Peachums, a conniving couple who make a living by exploiting homeless people. But the heart of the opera is the music, with an eight-piece ensemble providing the inimitable score. Expect something different in this “Threepenny Opera,” but don’t worry — you’ll still be able to hum along with Mack the Knife. u n IF YOU GO: “The Threepenny Opera,” plays 7 p.m. May 6, 8, 9; and 2 p.m. May 10 at Conrad Prebys Music Center Experimental Theater on the UC San Diego campus, 9500 Gilman Drive. Tickets: $10.50-$15.50 at (858) 534-3448.

that every human has the light of God within and that everyone has access. Our worship service speaks to that place, center.” These ideas sprang from the reform movements of the 1600s in England, when many individuals experienced religious transformations and broke away from the dominant Anglican Church. One such lay preacher was George Fox. His early followers were called Seekers, Seekers of the Truth, Friends of the Truth or Children of the Light, and were sometimes prosecuted. Fox himself was put on trial and told the judge “to tremble and quake at the word of the Lord.” The judge then asked Fox if he was a quaker, and when Fox answered yes, the label Quaker was born. For many years it was a derogatory term, but now is used interchangeably with Friends. From its earliest days, the Society of Friends has been committed to simplicity, honesty, and peace, equal rights for men, women and children. “In the 1600s these ideas such as women and children speaking up were radical, but they have lasted. Women are given equal

For more than 60 years, the La Jolla Quakers (or Religious Society of Friends as they are officially called) have been meeting here. The group was founded in 1949 by several Quakers from Pasadena, who first gathered at St. James By-the-Sea Episcopal Church. In 1952, they bought a small cottage at the back of their current lot and built a new one in front. It is used for worship services and the original bungalow in back, with a kitchen, is used for social events and meetings. The La Jolla Friends Meeting practices what is called waiting worship, also known as un-programmed. The hour-long service is not planned in advance and is often silent until members feel moved by the spirit of God to speak. Nor is there any organized ministry or doctrine, according to Ellie Hitchcock, the group’s current clerk. “It is a flat organization, run by members,” explained Hitchcock “There is no divinity school. Everyone is a minister and is prepared to minister to people. We believe

www.lajollalight.com standing, responsibility and education is highly valued,” said Hitchcock. “This informs who we are now. We are the peace church and oppose violence as a way to solve problems.” Although some early Quakers in the United States owned slaves, they soon played a pivotal role in the abolition of slavery. They also lived peacefully with Native Americans and applied their Quaker values to transforming prisons, hospitals, schools and libraries. “They were instrumental in the formation of our country, with democratic principles. They were a small group but with a large influence,” said Hitchcock. Today there are approximately 350,000 Friends around the world. In the United States, many early Friends settled in the northeast, especially Pennsylvania. Two American presidents have been Quakers – Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon. More Quakers live in Africa than any other part of the world, with approximately 133,000 in Kenya, followed by about 86,000 in the United States, 33,000 in Bolivia, 20,000 in Guatemala and 15,000 in Britain. There are several branches of the Religious Society of Friends, but the two main strains are those with ministers and those without (un-programmed), about 11 percent of the total. In lieu of laity, the La Jolla meeting is run by several clerks who oversee 10 to 15 committees, such as religious education, peace and social action, and usually serve three-year terms. All decisions are made by the whole group. “We do not vote, but reach unity, “Hitchcock explained. “If we are not all in agreement, it

The message on the post in front of the Quaker’s meeting place reads ‘May Peace Prevail on Earth,’ in Spanish. could be worthwhile to hear other points of view and we discuss until everyone has been heard. It is sometimes magical watching people come to unity. When decisions are made this way, they stick.” In addition to regular Sunday worship at 10 a.m. followed by a social gathering, the La Jolla Friends hold a business meeting once a month, attend Southern California regional meetings three times a year and a

larger Pacific region meeting once a year. At this meeting, the Friends’ guidebook “Faith and Practice” is analyzed and revised every few years. Other activities for La Jolla Friends include Bible study, singing groups, Sunday school, a men’s group, Graceful Aging for those age 80 and older, hosting meditation and environmental groups, and a Thursday group that decorates blankets for cancer

the trouble With Mental health Care Even with the widespread debate over health care during the past several years and with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, there still seems to exist a large sector of health care that remains severely problematic. Prevalence of mental health issues Most people probably don’t realize the sheer amount of Americans that suffer from some type of mental illness, but it is indeed one of the most common health care issues.

In fact, as many as 1 in 4 adults are affected each year. The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported that 9.6 million adults reported having a serious mental illness, such as major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD, panic disorder, and borderline personality disorder. And that is only counting the cases reported. What’s more disturbing is the severity of the consequences that can occur when mental illness goes untreated. Many untreated patients end up unemployed, homeless, in prison, or even turn to suicide. According the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the economic hit of untreated mental illness is more than $100 billion each year. The difficulty in coverage Even if we put aside the stigma that unfortunately still comes with

acknowledging a mental illness in our country, there remains a mountain of obstacles. A recent poll conducted for the California HealthCare Foundation revealed that fewer than 40% of Californians understand that their insurance plans cover mental health issues, even though the Affordable Care Act extended coverage to this area (naming it “behavioral health”). This is also apparent in the fact that the Congressional Budget Office projected that 13 million uninsured Americans would become insured by 2014, yet the demand for mental health care has not increased. Part of the problem in understanding the coverage are the numerous loopholes, conditions and coverage gaps. Firstly, the law states that the expansion portion of Medicaid was optional for states, and thus far only about half the states have decided to expand. This leaves about 5 million

Americans missing an important part of their coverage, and as Medicaid is a program designed to help poor or disabled Americans, experts believe a large portion of this group is in need of some type of medical care. The second half of the problem with coverage is that in an area like mental health, it is very difficult to discern what type of treatment is medically necessary and for how long. While a treatment like chemotherapy has a very defined treatment program, it is difficult to quantify something like therapy sessions because it can differ so greatly from person to person. So insurance companies tend to put fairly strict limitations on how many sessions they will cover.
