By Ashley Mackin Hot on the heels of the La Jolla Hermosa Park sidewalk project (underway at the ocean side of Chelsea Avenue to replace an unstable dirt path with a concrete walkway) another longawaited Bird Rock project will break ground this fall. At the May 5 Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting, it was announced the Midway Bluff repair job is underway to restore the overlook at the end of Midway Street that began to erode 15 years ago. Heavy rains, coupled with a blockage to the drainpipe, caused the water to flood the bluffs and accelerated erosion. A fence went up five years ago to keep people at a safe distance. Project Manager George Freiha said the design phase should be complete next month, with construction to start in September or October. “This project calls for the restoration of the bluff by building a supporting wall, See Bird Rock Bluff Repair, A16

Bochner’s ‘Resistance’
La Jolla’s latest public mural to make bold statement on Prospect Street By Pat Sherman Asked what he was trying to convey about San Diego’s seaside “Jewel” with his new addition to the “Murals of La Jolla” public art series — comprised of the phrase, “Blah, Blah, Blah,” (also the title of the work), conceptual artist Mel Bochner laughed and assured, “don’t take it personally.” Despite its title, Bochner is anything but blasé about his work and its intent — to be splashed repeatedly in black and white across the rear of the Morgan Stanley building at Prospect Street and Herschel Avenue. The New York City-based artist explained of his “Blah, Blah, Blah” series: “We live in a world that is oversaturated with empty language — small talk, Mel Bochner tweets, texts, leet speak (informal code used on the Internet), chitchat, pop–up ads, telephone-answering messages (“your call is important to us …”), warnings on medicine bottles (“if you have an erection lasting more than four hours…”). If there is no escaping this linguistic tsunami, the ‘Blah, Blah, Blah’ paintings subvert it from below.” Speaking with La Jolla Light last month, Bochner expounded, “It’s a comment on the whole situation of modern life, the barrage of bullsh*t that is always coming at us. ... It’s
Mel Bochner’s ‘Blah, Blah, Blah,’ was part of last year’s I-70 Sign Show, a twomonth public art exhibition on Missouri billboards intended as a critique of the state’s copious highway advertising signs. A similar mural will be installed in La Jolla.

national average). Unlike the phrase “yada, yada, yada,” which Bochner feels is too intrinsically linked to the “Seinfeld” television series (153rd episode, “The Yada Yada”) and “specifically means nothing,” he said ‘blah, blah, blah’ is “a very ambiguous statement,” which can be taken as an insult or as a point of collusion or understanding among two friends conversing. “I think it’s something unexpected,” he said. “I also like the idea of taking this very formal situation, an outdoor public art situation where everything should be taken so seriously, and doing it ironically — and just as a gigantic sketch. It adds a kind of humor to it and, you know, a question. I want it to be something that people might get confused about or might say, ‘Why is this here?’ or ‘What does it mean?’ So, it’s just not decoration; it’s something that provokes thought, and I think that’s the role of the artist, to make people think.” “Blah, Blah, Blah” replaces “53 Women” by Ryan McGinness, installed in 2011. Murals of La Jolla was conceived in 2010 by the La Jolla Community Foundation to enhance the civic character of the community by commissioning public art projects on private property throughout La Jolla. It is currently a project of the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library. More at muralsoflajolla.com u

Another of his series features synonyms as streams of consciousness toying with syntax, and includes words and phrases such as: “Au Contraire, Nothing Doing, On No Account, Nein, Never Happen, No Dice, No Way Jose,

A Date with Destiny
Couple to open men’s salon across from eatery where they first dated NEW BUSINESS REPORT By Pat Sherman ittle did La Jolla native David Bolton know when he treated the apple of his eye to a “Special Cheese Crisp” at Verdes El Ranchero Mexican restaurant on La Jolla Boulevard that the date would take him from being a groom to being in the men’s grooming business. More than 30 years and two children later, David and his date, today Lori Bolton, have returned to La Jolla to open a franchise location of 18/8 men’s hair salon in the two-story white building at Marine Street and La Jolla Boulevard. The couple, who reside in south Orange County, are working toward an August opening. A native of Chicago, Lori decided to open her own business after she was laid off from her job as director of global accounts for VWR International, a laboratory supply and distribution company for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, medical device and food and beverage industries. “When I finally got serious, I asked David to join me at a meeting with my broker,” she said. For years, David said he had his hair trimmed at either Supercuts or the salon where Lori gets her hair done. “I’ve just always been uncomfortable in a women’s salon,” said David, who grew up on Kolmar Street in Bird Rock and was among the first graduating class at Torrey Pines High School in 1976. “You walk in and all the women look up and the chatter starts changing and you get the smell of the perm solution.” One day, an 18/8 location opened near the couple’s Rancho Santa Margarita home, and David, who works in the financial planning industry, sold the idea to Lori. “I thought, ‘Wow, a men’s hair salon?’ ” he recalled. “My

Lori and David Bolton pose in front of the building on La Jolla Boulevard where they plan to open an 18/8 men’s salon franchise, directly across from the Mexican eatery where they had their first date, more than three decades ago. Pat Sherman hair used to look hellishly bad. The first time I looked in the mirror after I got my hair cut at 18/8, not only had I enjoyed the experience, but I literally said, ‘I’m never going anywhere else.’ That’s how I felt about it — and that’s how I hope our clients are going to feel about it. … You walk in and it’s like an experience, and that’s what we’re hoping to make this — a great experience for guys to be in their own place and get great services.” Lori said the business model fit the “niche market” model she was seeking. “I wanted something that would be

resilient in a down economy,” she said. “You’re always going to have to get your hair cut.” The 18/8 franchises were sold out in Orange County and Irvine, where the business originated. “It was either go to Los Angeles or La Jolla,” Lori said. “Well, that wasn’t a hard decision.” Although there is currently only one other 18/8 location in San Diego County, in 4S Ranch, another is set to open in downtown San Diego, and the Boltons also hope to open other locations locally. Building owner Farid Trad, who resides in an apartment on the second floor, said 18/8 will be the flagship tenant in his building, occupying 1,800 square feet of interior space and about 400 square feet of ocean-view patio space for clients to relax and await their appointments. Lori said 18/8 provides rigorous training for its employees. “It’s a different technique than what you’ll see everywhere else,” she said. “I know nothing about cutting hair … but I love the way they treat their employees.” In addition to haircuts and hot lather shaves, 18/8 will offer premier services such as back waxing, facials, massages, scalp treatments and style consultations. Customers can purchase memberships that provide perks such as complimentary clean-ups and other bonus grooming services. There are more than 20 locations of 18/8 in eight states. The company was founded by Scott Griffiths, a professor at Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business who has lent his branding expertise to companies such as Paul Mitchell (Mitch for Men hair products), House of Blues, Crystal Cruises and Nokia. “Lori is exactly the right entrepreneur to grow the brand in La Jolla,” said Griffiths, in a release. “Her business intellect is outstanding. She really understands our systematic growth approach and recognizes the strong demand for this particular salon brand to fill the niche locally.” u

Winemaker plans tasting room in Bird Rock NEW BUSINESS REPORT By Ashley Mackin aking a cue from the San Diego craft beer industry, fourth-generation South African winemaker Lowell Jooste will launch LJ Crafted Wines in Bird Rock, offering wines by the taste and by the glass, and in re-sealable, reusable, refillable glass wine growlers. Situated next to Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, LJ Crafted Wines will open in July at 5621 La Jolla Blvd., in the space formerly occupied by Julian Bakery. Presenting his plans at the May 5 Bird Rock Community Council meeting, Jooste said, “We will be bottling some wine, as well, for those who are not close enough to
T
regularly come in for refills. But we wanted to approach this from an environmentalist point of view. It was always frustrating for us in the wine industry to see all these trucks carrying cases of bottles, knowing that 70 percent of them are going to end up in a landfill.” Jooste said the wine is made with grapes from Northern California, and he uses established wineries to make it, transporting the wine in barrels to the Bird Rock tasting room. “There’s something romantic about getting wine right out of a barrel,” he told La Jolla Light, adding the wine tends to taste better that way. Jooste said LJ Crafted Wines is not licensed as a conventional bar, so children will be allowed in and appetizers and snacks will be served, though there is no kitchen. “We just want to see what we can make of it and be an
asset to the community,” Jooste said. Jooste and his wife, Ann, moved from South Africa two years ago when one of their four children got into the University of San Diego. Having visited La Jolla five years ago, Jooste said they consider the move “an adventure.”
Other Bird Rock business news: n Mimi and Red fashion boutique (formerly situated at 5360 La Jolla Blvd.) moved into the space once home to Schroeder Piano at 5680 La Jolla Blvd., opening May 8. Mimi and Red sells jewelry, home décor and casual, but high-fashion clothing. n Wheat and Water pizzeria will open in July at 5737 La Jolla Blvd., using locally sourced ingredients for its woodfired pizzas. u

New Shores art gallery showcases local underwater life NEW BUSINESS REPORT By Ashley Mackin bove the Neighbor Savor Food Market on the western end of Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores, the team behind SD Expedition diving tours will open Upwelling Underwater Art Gallery, at 2148 Avenida de la Playa, Suite E. They will have an opening celebration Sunday, May 17. RSVP is required to schedule a time for a personal preview, at (858) 4807505 or concierge@upwellingfineart.com The small gallery will showcase and sell the work of Kyle McBurnie, winner of the National Geographic 2013 Best Underwater Picture contest (amateur division) and SD Expedition co-owner. “There is a lot of really nice underwater fine art and there is a lot of really good coldwater (non-tropical) photography, but we don’t see it around,” McBurnie said, pointing out that his work focuses on capturing images of life found in Southern California waters. “We thought it would be a cool venture to bring what we see out on dives to the surface. We want to show people what we see every day and why we live and breathe the ocean out here. People don’t give this area a chance as a diving or beach community, so we hope this will show them just how beautiful it is out there.” SD Expedition co-owner Nick LeBeouf said of the more than 40 fine art galleries in La Jolla, “six sell photography, and of the six,

those interested can call and have someone come by to open it up. Pieces will be available for purchase, starting with small eight-by-eight-inch prints all the way up to wall-sized panoramas.

From Sea Lions, A1
Sea Lion News n Sea lions breed and pups are weaned (so far) only on the Channel Islands. The breeding animals leave the mainland in May and return in August and September. n There are estimated to be 330,000 sea lions off the U.S. coast, with a 3-5 percent continuous growth rate since the 1970s. There is no theory to explain why many come at one time to mainland bluffs and beaches, such as La Jolla Cove. n Recent pup strandings are above normal and a phenomenon of perturbations in the food supply and not related to the perceived increase in animals at La Jolla Cove. n Elephant Seals and Guadalupe Fur Seals have been spotted on mainland beaches, and their population growth and habitat dynamics are like sea lions. n Sea lions explore new areas and haul out where they can be comfortable. Younger males learn dominant behavior from the older bulls. n The Maine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) prohibits harassment of sea lions in any way by members of the public. However, harassment by city, county, state or federal personnel or their contractors is allowed under MMPA section 109(h). n Sea lions are quick learners and stubborn. The way to deter them from settling in any particular place is to make them uncomfortable. The recommended ways — all to be done together — are: physically approach and shove with a plywood shield, aka “crowding board”; make
a loud noise, such as with an air horn; squirt high-pressure water on the animal’s nose, chest and or rear end. n Any effort must be a well-planned campaign, consistently done and started early in the day. The plan needs to address what to do next if moving the sea lions is successful, since the sea lions will relocate. n The problem will be worse if the animals feel comfortable spending the night in the location where they are a nuisance. n Predator sound reproduction has failed where tried. n Because sea lions can climb and/or jump as much as six feet, any fence to restrain them must be carefully engineered with spinning rungs. There is a potential problem with fencing trapping animals from returning to the sea. n Poop cleaning needs enzyme treatment. Water alone will not work. n Dogs and sea lions share vulnerability to the same kinds of diseases, so they must be kept away from each other. n Numerous locations along the California and Oregon coasts have conflicts with sea lions involving boat docks. Few have conflicts involving beaches and shoreline areas like La Jolla Cove does. n Presently there are no adopted guidelines interpreting MMPA section 109(h) for sea lion deterrence or removal. u — Compiled from NOAA officials by La Jolla Parks & Beaches chair, Dan Allen
s
get around them without being bitten. A regional stranding coordinator with NOAA Fisheries (Justin Viezbicke) provided the training, confirmed Chris Yates, assistant regional administrator of NOAA’s Protected Resources Division, West Coast Region. “It’s just largely a big plywood shield that keeps something between you and the animal,” Yates told La Jolla Light. “The lifeguards have to interact with sea lions on a fairly regular basis. … Crowding boards are a common practice for all sorts of different wildlife resource managers, but particularly with pinnipeds, to be able to protect themselves when they need to move animals from a place where they would be endangering themselves or people.” Crowding boards are just one method local governments such as the City of San Diego can use under section 109(h) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) to legally deter sea lions or other marine mammals from remaining in an area, including the use of water jets, sprinklers, air horns or other noise-making deterrents, strobe lights, starter pistols, electric livestock fencing, slingshots, cattle prods and rubber bullets. “If the city so chooses to exercise its authority under 109(h) of the MMPA, any city employee or contractor specified for that purpose can use crowding boards to move animals from places where they are either in danger themselves or where they have a public health or welfare implication,” Yates said.

referred questions about the training to a city spokesperson, who did not return e-mail and phone messages about the training by press time. A spokesperson for District 1 City Council president Sherri Lightner also did not return a message asking if Lightner would advocate for the use of sea lion deterrence allowed under the MMPA provision. The training came to light following a May 5 meeting Yates granted La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) president Steve Haskins and La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) committee chair Dan Allen. Haskins and Allen requested the meeting, held at NOAA’s Southwest Region office in Long Beach, as a follow-up to LJTC’s April sea lion forum (bit.ly/sealionforum) and LJP&B’s directive that the city take action to address issues related to the sea lions’ growing presence (bit.ly/sealionsituation), such as public safety and the pervasive odor from their urnine and excrement. “It’s pretty interesting what we found out,” Haskins said. “Some of the things I heard were not things I’ve heard before. … It seems like there’s something going on, on our end, where the people with the city aren’t tuning in to what’s being said. … Apparently this is a very bad situation that’s happening all over California, Oregon and Washington. The amount of sea lions has exploded and once they take over a place, they basically don’t give it up, so you need to move quickly if you want to change their behavior. You can’t take years to decide what to do.” Yates said several times he has reminded San Diego city officials of the measures available under the MMPA to legally harass
sea lions without filing for permits or receiving NOAA or other authorization. “They’ve asked us at various times questions about 109(h) as it relates to … things going on during the years,” Yates said. “We’ve told them, yes, they have that authority under 190(h). … They don’t have to do anything with us. There’s no permitting. We don’t approve it, we don’t bless it, we don’t do anything. That’s their legal authority under the law.” Asked if any of the federally approved deterrent methods seem to work better than others, Yates replied, “That’s the milliondollar question. “In general, sea lions are very persistent,” he said. “They become habituated to these deterrent methods very quickly, and people up and down the California Coast are very frustrated because it’s not easy to keep them away from things that people want to keep them away from. In places where there are docks and marinas, the most effective methods have been physical structures that form barriers, but they’re strong, big animals that can jump and crush things, so when you’re building a barrier … or a fence, it’s a substantial thing.” Yates said most noise deterrents have not proven effective, as sea lions grow easily accustomed to them. “Some places use water effectively, but you have to consistently reinforce the animals,” he said. “If you don’t have a physical barrier that keeps them away from something you have to be very diligent in keeping them away from that spot, either physically crowding them off or using something like

— Steve Haskins
La Jolla Town Council President water or another technique that’s not going to hurt them — that’s part of the deal.” There is no magic formula to outfox the clever, dog-like creatures, Yates noted. “If you let them come back, they’ll be back in full force and you’ve got to start from square one, so it is a constant maintenance type of thing, which obviously puts a lot of resource strains on the city or government entities trying to do that.” Yates said the MMPA allows the city to effectively deputize a group such as the LJTC or LJP&B to manage deterrence methods. At Moss Landing in Monterey County — where it’s estimated sea lions cause about $100,000 in damage each year — people have been tasked with fulfilling community service requirements by chasing sea lions off the dock (in lieu of picking up roadside trash). “We’ve seen people hire contractors, we’ve seen people designate people as city representatives under that authority, even
though they’re not official city employees or officials,” Yates said. “There’s a lot of room for creativity there, as long as those people are acting within the scope of what the law allows and the city is responsible for them. ... “I don’t know that that has ever been challenged in court … (but) I would think if a city documents for itself the need to exercise its authority under 109(h) and specifies the individuals who would be doing that activity, that that would likely work,” Yates added. “Each city or government entity has to kind of review that with their own eyes and their own legal (team) and their own comfort level as to how they exercise those rights.” While the roughly 70 to 100 sea lions at La Jolla Cove are not among the tens of thousands NOAA studies off the California coast, a city-commissioned study of La Jolla’s sea lion colony by marine mammal expert Doyle Hanan is ongoing. Results of the study should be released in the coming month and could help the city assess how to move forward with possible sea lion deterrent or behavior modification techniques. Unlike the harbor seals at Children’s Pool beach, NOAA said California sea lions almost exclusively breed and give birth in the Channel Islands, about 180 miles off the coast. Haskins said he and Allen would contact Lightner and the mayor’s office to share what they learned from NOAA and underscore the need to take immediate action. “The more we understand about the behavior and abilities of sea lions, the more it seems like it’s almost impossible to stop them,” Haskins said. u

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS
UC San Diego denies nudity required to pass art course
U
C San Diego officials came to the defense of an art professor May 11, who encourages his students to perform their final examinations in the nude. The mother of a student of associate professor Ricardo Dominguez told 10News he forced her daughter to remove her clothing or risk failing a class titled “Visual Arts 104A: Performing the Self.” The mother, who declined to be identified, said a blanket requirement for students to be nude to pass the class made her sick to her stomach. The chair of UCSD’s Visual Arts Department, Jordan Crandall, released a statement May 11 stating the course is not required for graduation and that removing clothing is not a requirement to pass. “It has a number of prompts for short performances called ‘gestures,’ ” Crandall said. “These include ‘Your Life: With 3 Objects and 3 Sounds’ and ‘Confessional Self,’ among others. Students are graded on the ‘Nude/Naked Self’ gesture just like all the other gestures.” He said students could perform the Nude/Naked Self gesture in ways without removing their clothes. “There are many ways to perform nudity or nakedness summoning art history conventions of the nude or laying bare of one’s ‘traumatic’ or most fragile and vulnerable self,” Crandall said. “One can ‘be’ nude while being covered.” He said online comments from former students clarify the issue. Dominguez said students are also offered the option of being figuratively or emotionally naked. Students are aware of the requirement from the first day of class and he’s never received a complaint before. Students uncomfortable with the revealing nature of the course should not enroll in the class, he said. — City News Service

NEWS NUGGETS New name for UCSD School of Global Policy and Strategy
U
C San Diego will rename its School of International Relations and Pacific Studies the “UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy,” effective July 1, 2015. The new name reflects the increasingly broadened scope of the school’s research impact worldwide — beyond just the Pacific region. In addition, philanthropists Joan and Irwin Jacobs have donated $4 million to the School of Global Policy and Strategy. Its Master of Pacific and International Affairs (MPIA) degree will become a Master of International Affairs (MIA), a more standard degree awarded by international relations schools.
Study finds link between bacterial biofilms, colon cancer
A
team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has uncovered a big clue to how bacteria may promote some colon cancers. The study, reported in Cell Metabolism on May 7, 2015, used novel metabolomic technologies to reveal molecular evidence suggesting a vicious circle in which cancerous changes in colon cells promote the growth of bacterial conglomerations called biofilms, and biofilms in turn promote cancer development. On the whole, the findings suggest that removing bacterial biofilms could be a key strategy for preventing and treating colon cancers, which currently kill about 50,000 Americans per year. The study also revealed an apparent metabolic marker of biofilm-associated colon cancers. u

From Bird Rock Bluff Repair, A1 restoring the landscaped area, adding an ADA-compliant travel ramp (to the overlook), a concrete path and a concrete bench,” he said. Construction is expected to take six months, with work hours 7:30 a.m. to about 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The pricetag is $160,000. “We had some delays in the design phase due to budget limits at the city level,” Freiha said. “Also, working next to the beach requires additional environmental clearances and we have been working with the city’s Development Services Department to get things approved in a way that is efficient for the project and good for the community.” Further delays stemmed from time spent ensuring the new plans will better manage potential rain. “The Development Services Department looks into everything, and we had to study the drainage to make sure the erosion doesn’t happen again,” he said. “We looked at the whole development; everything that contributes to that pipe was studied and calculated to see if the pipe can handle everything that comes from that tributary area — and that’s part of what took so long.” The foliage will be replaced with drought-resistant landscaping, Freiha said, but will require 26 months of plant establishment and watering. Afterward, the city’s Department of Parks & Rec will take over maintenance.
In other Bird Rock news:
n MAD takes water-wise measures: BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar said although the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) — which assists with community improvements not covered by the city — is already operating with reduced water levels, reports of water-wasting incidences are needed. Sprinklers located on the medians that line La Jolla Boulevard are sometimes run over by cars and subsequently malfunction. BRCC has targeted problem sprinklers and relocated them, and will water the area

Photos by Ashley Mackin differently. “If you see a problem, let us know as soon as you can,” Dunbar said. “Be as specific as possible — the location, the time of day the problem was spotted — anything else that might help us. The problem area may not be obvious later on.” E-mail reports to info@birdrockcc.org n Police offer burglary prevention tips: Members of the Bird Rock Neighborhood Watch had a meeting with police last month to address summer-related spikes in crime. Three points were emphasized: • Burglars are getting into homes through unlocked doors and windows. Keep doors and windows locked, even if it’s hot outside. • If going on vacation, don’t announce on social media
that you will be out of town and your house will be vacant. • When calling the police, relay the severity of the situation honestly, and give police cause to prioritize your call. Get an incident number, so if you have to call back a few hours later, you can use the number as proof you’ve already called, but police have yet to respond. BRCC president Jacqueline Bell said police resources shift to the beach areas during the summer, so there will be more police presence. “If you notice repeat incidences and report them to police, they will make the problem part of their patrol,” she said. n Next BRCC meeting: 6 p.m., Tuesday, June 2 at Lupi Vino Cucina, 5518 La Jolla Blvd. birdrockcc.org u

La Jolla Light has a new owner!
B
y now, everyone in San Diego must know that Tribune Publishing Co., owner of the Los Angeles Times has agreed to acquire The San Diego Union-Tribune. You might not be aware though, that the La Jolla Light is owned by the U-T and thus will become part of the Tribune Co.’s portfolio of newspapers next month when the deal is expected to close. We don’t anticipate any changes to your La Jolla Light. Since the LA Times has been at the forefront in the evolution of digital publishing, we do expect that our local websites and mobile editions will benefit from their expertise. The new relationship will also assist local businesses, as more sophisticated digital tools will become available in our market. While local weekly newspapers have not faced the same challenges of our daily counterparts, being owned by an innovative, financially sound newspaper company can only spell good things for the Light and the La Jolla community as well. u Phyllis Pfeiffer President, U-T Community Press

Helicopter noise jarring With the obvious exceptions of either a flightfor-life or a law enforcement emergency, I fail to understand why helicopter flights over La Jolla Village aren’t subject to the same 2,000-foot height restrictions that govern other aircraft. In addition, it is not at all clear why, with the same emergency exceptions in mind, the regulations don’t require that these flights be a minimum of one-mile off shore. The all-day, allnight noise is a nuisance and a huge detraction to the area. Is there something that can be done besides running to find a telephoto lens camera and capture tail numbers?

Torrey Pines Road foliage served a safety purpose One should not, absolutely not, be driving along Torrey Pines Road and taking in scenic views. There is more than enough distracted driving as it is!

Sea lions thumb their flippers at shared use Editor’s Note: In our effort to provide a platform for the ideas of every voice in the community, the Light is printing this letter sent from a “sea lion,” who alleges an address at the Cove, which we cannot discount. Dear People of La Jolla, A young lady from The Bishop’s School left her iPad at the beach Tuesday, so I will type this in a hurry, before she comes back to look for it. My name is Clive, I am a seal lion, and I live in the ocean and on the beaches and rocks near the La Jolla Cove and The Children’s Pool. As I was perusing the young lady’s iPad, I noticed an article about the “stench” we seal lions are somehow causing. Before I get to that, a few observations … Thanks so much for building the stairs at the Cove. I have always wondered what the rest of the world looked like. I have been venturing
out at night from the Cove to see what you La Jollans do when you aren’t coming into our world and swimming with us. Recently, I made it as far as Prospect Street, quite impressive. I saw a huge number of buildings to protect you humans from the cold of the night and from the heat of the day. But I digress … let me tell you the things I’ve learned from my ancestors. My grandfather’s name is also Clive, his father was Clive, as well. My grandfather told me stories about his family and what this world looked like before the humans arrived. He talked of a time before the humans polluted our oceans and well before they overfished the seas. He also talked of a time he remembers when his world was turned upside down when a wealthy woman installed a wall right over the area his family used for resting. He talked of a time before plastics messed up the oceans, before oil and other pollutants made our homes and hunting grounds close to becoming useless to us. Oh no! I see the young lady coming back to look for her iPad … before I slide back into the water, let me leave you with these thoughts … Before the next one of you humans complains about this “stench” and the idea of “shared” beaches, I implore you to clean up the “stench” you all have created in our world. Clean up the plastics, the oil spills, the chemicals you dump on my dining table on a daily basis. When that is done, then we will stop pooping on your precious stairs and decks. When you talk of shared use of beaches, we say great! Bravo! If you really want it, then we want shared use of your parks, your homes, your hotels, your cafés. My mother said it’s rumored some of you humans actually put our not-so-distant cousins (little furry dogs) into purse-like things and carry these animals into restaurants. What? There may be hope after all, for we sea lions are just sea dogs anyway. In closing, stop destroying our environment and we will stop destroying yours. Clive, the sea lion
Light’s online commentary should be direct on website You require readers of La Jolla Light to have access to a social media site, Facebook, in order to provide commentary to the stories you
publish online. I do not belong to this site nor do I wish to belong to it or any such site. I do wish to participate in community matters and leave comments and discuss your paper’s articles online. As a resident of La Jolla and a recipient of this paper, I hope you will change this policy. Peter Johnson Editor’s Note: Sorry, Peter, although you have a solid point, this is our posting policy at this time. With our recent acquisition by the Tribune Co., it may change in the future.
Tapenade will be missed while it moves operations As longtime aficionados of Tapenade Restaurant, like many in La Jolla we anticipate the opening of Chef Jean Michele Diot’s new Bistro Marché, scheduled to open later this year on Girard Avenue. After 17 years on Fay Avenue, Chef Diot was forced to relocate for the development of La Jolla Music Society’s “The Conrad,” scheduled to break ground (according to its website) in the first half of 2016. That is why on May 9, 2015 while my husband and I dined for at least the 999th time in 17 years, we were dumbfounded, taken aback, disillusioned and truly distressed to learn the doors will be closing in a mere seven days. Change is inevitable and admittedly we don’t know all the details, nor need to. What we do know is that Chef Diot and his fine staff has warmly regarded connections to us, and many in the community, and they are being pushed out long before LJMS breaks ground and before the lease expires. Tapenade has a vested interest in staying put. The owners had to locate a new space and complete the build-out and would have preferred to welcome guests from one door to another. This inconveniences the customers who regularly take evening meals there, as if at a friend’s home. What about the more than 25 employees who will be out of a job (some with 15 years of service) between the closing of Tapenade and opening of Bistro Marché? Where was the community feedback promoted in the FAQs of the website purporting to ensure a successful project for everyone with this untimely and unnecessary bitter deed? u Elizabeth Rice Maget

Trash cans left out on Nautilus are an eyesore By Ashley Mackin esponding to complaints about trash cans being left out for prolonged periods along Nautilus Street, La Jolla Light contacted the City of San Diego for the rules and regulations. District 1 City Council representative Jennifer Kearns said residents are asked to remove their trash cans by 6 p.m. on the evening of collection and not place trash cans on the street before 6 p.m. the evening before collection. City public information officer Jose Ysea added that failure to adhere to the Municipal Code that addresses trash can removal (No. 66.0105) may result in administrative fees and/or fines. Should trash cans be reported as left out past the deadline, they might be “tagged,” so the residents are notified of the rules. Continued violation may result in a re-inspection fee of $88 for each subsequent violation. “The city’s main objective is to educate,

THE MUSICAL GENIUS BEHIND
Tennis pro Maria Sharapova with Juan Reque: ‘There is nobody who knows my body better than Juan Reque,’ Sharapova says. Courtesy
‘Magic hands’ are very real for clients of massage therapist By Diane Y. Welch icensed massage therapist Juan Reque has been told by his clients that he has magic hands. His personal touch has been relieving chronic pain for his professional and amateur athlete clientele for 20 years; But rather than magic, he said his expertise has been developed and honed from solid training, world travel and experience with a roster of top-ranking professional tennis players. From 2008 to 2013, Reque worked with professional tennis player Maria Sharapova. After surgery, he provided post-operative therapies that have kept Sharapova in top physical condition and pain-free. She is an avid client and a strong supporter of Reque’s work. “There is nobody who knows my body better than Juan Reque, and this is really important when you have a busy schedule and you have to prevent injuries,” Sharapova said. Reque’s connection with Sharapova stemmed from his work as a trainer for the Association of Tennis Professionals. In this capacity, Reque traveled for five years with the Spanish Davis Cup team, setting up a service network to deal with injury prevention and treatment. A native of Spain, Reque originally earned his physical therapy and sports science degrees in 1999, but is also licensed in massage therapy, European physical therapy, and strength and conditioning coaching. He is also an expert in manual therapy, a fact that sets him apart from other physical therapists, he said. “My typical client is someone who has chronic pain, most of the time related to sports,” Reque explained. “They might have tennis elbow, shoulder, knee or lower back problems. Several might be getting physical therapy from other places and have not got better, so they come to me as I have a different approach, and then they find relief.” Reque uses an innovative hands-on treatment known as Active Release Technique. It is a soft tissue movementbased massage that treats certain tendinopathies and muscle problems. In a large number of chronic injuries, such as muscle strains or joint pains, the injured area presents scar tissue and limitation of movement. Active Release Technique uses tension with movement to strip scar tissue from muscles and tendons to regain
L
functionality. Reque is also able to hone in on the source of the injury. Rather than simply focusing on the presenting physical symptoms, he determines the principal cause of the problem, which often goes undiagnosed. His treatment concentrates on releasing muscle tension, regaining joint mobility and activating muscles. Two years ago, Reque completed a specialist course in applied kinesiology. He is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and has a bachelor’s in sports science and education, strength and conditioning from University of Madrid, Spain. But he credits his active experience while on the professional tennis circuit for truly bringing his expertise to a level above that of the average physical therapist. “By traveling all over the world, wherever I was working, I learned a lot from the other trainers,” Reque said. Recently moved to offices in Solana Beach, Reque treats NFL and college football players, baseball players and professional tennis players and is increasingly treating junior clients with injuries from soccer and other fastball sports. On the flip side of treating injuries, Reque is also able to help prevent them. His injuryfree program is a screening and exercise program that helps both those who are involved in sports and those who are not achieve a good functioning of their bodies and locomotor system. “By doing this, people using the program can prevent or treat injuries, improve their health and, finally, maximize their athletic performance,” Reque said. “I can really evaluate how their muscles are and see if there are some imbalances, and then treat them or recommend exercises to prevent possible injury.” u n As an introductory special, Reque is offering a 55-minute session for the price of a 25-minute session, a $40 saving. Visit injuryrecoverymassage.com to learn more about Juan Reque’s Injury Recovery Massage or to book an appointment, or call (844) 469-0704.

Howell Foundation
20 years of advocacy for women’s health issues By Ashley Mackin or almost two decades, the Doris A. Howell Foundation for Women’s Health Research has been working to fulfill its mission: “keeping the women we love healthy.” In November, the La Jolla-based group will celebrate its 20th year of funding education and research through scholarships for undergraduate students, educational events (luncheons and evening lectures) and its new Community Engagement Initiative. “We began by fundraising and awarding two or three research scholarships a year,” said 14-year board member Kay Christian. “To date, we’ve given over $500,000 to over 200 scholars.” Annually, the foundation presents the scholarships to a UCSD student, to the California State University system, and to one University of San Diego nursing student to fund his or her Ph.D. dissertation impacting women’s health. Board chair Carole Banka said a foundation’s goal is to build the endowment so whatever the future holds, its proceeds will ensure one scholarship to each of those universities each year. Banka pointed out Dan Hemmati, who used the assistance he received 10 years ago to study the BRCA1 gene. Mutations to the BRCA1 gene have been linked to increased risk for breast and ovarian cancers, and became a hot topic when actress Angelina Jolie announced she had a mutated BRCA1 gene, prompting her to undergo a double mastectomy and have her ovaries removed. Hemmati’s work outlined how these mutations can be identified. Additional fundraising for the scholarships comes from quarterly luncheons that feature a speaker from the medical field. The luncheons also help the foundation fulfill its educational mission. “When people think of women’s health, they think of gynecology and (breast health),” Banka said. “But take for example, heart disease. Heart disease is a very different animal in women than it is in men. The

Howell Foundation Luncheon, May 28 ■ Heather Hofflich, clinical professor of medicine at UCSD, will discuss osteoporosis at noon, Thursday, May 28. Location and tickets at howellfoundation.org same goes for diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases and many others.” She added each luncheon presentation includes researchbased information. Board member Brad Benter said by offering informative luncheons, he has seen women “become their own advocates” in the health realm. “I’ve seen the lectures empower women to take the reigns and ask doctors questions they wouldn’t have thought of before,” he said. The “token male” joined the board five years ago to be part of the effort to fund more research. “I have a mom, a sister, a wife and aunts, so I’ve been surrounded by women my whole life and I know they are the core of the family. As everyone knows ... when something happens to mom, things fall apart,” he said. To reach a broader audience, the board also launched evening lectures that focus on emotional health and wellbeing, and are free to those who can’t get away for afternoon programs. These are held at the McMillin
Carole Banka and Carmen Colombo, Chief Nursing Officer, Sharp Mary Birch Hospital, recipient of the 2013 Howell Foundation’s Nursing Scholarship
Center in Liberty Station, Point Loma. “The evening events focus more on psychological issues that women cope with, whereas our luncheon series has always looked at the medical, physical aspect of healthcare for women,” Banka said, noting previous evening lectures have covered stress, parenting and depression. “If you’re going to address women’s health, you have to address both the psychological and the physical. You can’t be totally healthy if you aren’t healthy in mind and body,” she said. “I harken back to my mother’s generation, which in some ways was considered a happier generation than now, but there was this closet use of tranquilizers back then. These women weren’t challenged, they hadn’t yet moved into the workplace, and after a while, running a household became less than challenging. “Today, we have the opposite problem. Women are involved with too many things because they are almost all in the workforce, so they are running a home, working, taking children to soccer, preparing meals, etc., playing vastly broader roles than they did in the past. Instead of addressing the psychological sequelae of not having challenges, we address the psychological issues of having too many challenges.” Details on the next evening series have not been announced. The third facet of the Howell Foundation’s mission, Community Engagement Initiative, now in its third year, funds specific projects
by local researchers and academic institutions. The first examined Latina women in their first pregnancies, who are at risk for gestational diabetes and hypertension, and found ways to avoid these conditions. The second project instituted a program at San Diego State University to teach incoming freshman how to avoid weight gain (aka “freshman 15”) and lead healthier lives during their first year away from home. “We’re looking now for the third project to fund, so we can put foundation money to work and do research with established groups,” Benter said. “The more money we have from donors, the more we are able to do.” Christian said foundation namesake, 91-year-old Doris Howell, M.D. of La Jolla, founded the organization because she wanted to improve women’s health issues. “Dr. Howell’s been saying for 30 years that medical research has focused on men and not on women,” she said. “Dr. Howell was cutting-edge with her ideas and wanted to focus on research at the scholarly level.” Howell received her medical degree from McGill University in Montreal, Canada before attending Duke University to complete her residency in pediatrics. She worked at UCSD’s hematology oncology division in the department of pediatrics. Howell was named the first female chair of the UCSD Department of Community and Family Medicine.

Here’s why Inspiration Drive was closed for five hours Tuesday
Photos by Ned Scudder
By Ned Scudder Inspiration Drive in the Muirlands was closed for almost five hours Tuesday, May 12 as a 70-ton crane with a 223-foot boom was maneuvered into place. Accompanying the crane were three flatbed trucks, each carrying 25 tons of counterweights. Set-up required almost three hours and involved making the crane level, attaching the required extensions to the crane’s boom, and the installation of some 80 tons of counterweights behind the cab of the crane to offset the physical forces that result from heavy lifting. What was going on? A date palm tree at a residence in the 1000-block of Inspiration Drive had died, and a new one was taking its place. Problem was, it
had to go on the far side of the house, and there was no way to get the tree into the backyard other than lifting it over the residence. Actual installation of the 4,000-pound tree was anti-climactic. Once the crane had been properly readied, it simply lifted the 20-foot tall date palm out of the truck it arrived on, hoisted it over the house, and lowered it to the crew waiting below, who eased it into its new resting spot. This aspect was over in 15 minutes. De-commissioning of the crane took slightly longer, as the boom was disassembled, counterweights were lifted back onto the trucks that brought them, and the crane was set back on the ground, its mobility restored. And Inspiration Drive was reopened once again. u

CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFER AND PRESERVE YOUR WEALTH A death in the family can serve as a crippling blow, both emotionally and financially. It can also motivate us to make positive changes in our lives and the lives of others. Kristina R. Hess’ life was impacted in such a way when her father passed away suddenly in 2007. “He was a very inspirational, positive person in my life,” said Hess, who founded her San Diego-based legal firm two years later. “He coached me in soccer. He was the spiritual leader of our family and just had a very powerful influence on us.”
Kristina R. Hess, J.D., M.A.
Now as managing attorney of KR Hess Law, Hess is focused on imparting a similar influence in her clients. Her firm recently unveiled its innovative Legacy Building Success System™, designed to help families shift mindset into building powerful, enduring legacies. “We want to change the course of history in families’ lives,” she said.
Hess credits her father – he had started the process of legacy planning with his own finances but passed away too quickly – with planting the legacy-focused seed in her professional approach. “I have always been passionate about it,” she said. “Especially after seeing how my dad was focused on it but ultimately left the work incomplete.” Hess’ firm primarily provides estate planning and probate work. Her mission with the new legacy system is to empower and equip families, and to create lifetime legacies that span generations. Smart business, legal and financial decisions as well as family communication & trust are all determining factors in reaching these objectives. All too often, Hess sees family wealth wasted rather than preserved and optimized. “Studies show that 70 percent of family wealth is squandered by the first generation,” she said. “And by the third generation, 90 percent is lost.” So how can families avoid becoming just another statistic in inadequate wealth management?
Hess and legacy coach, Erik Frederickson, created a proprietary 5 module approach to guide clients through the legacy planning process. Her solutions are tailored to client needs and personal circumstances because different people may have varying goals with their money. “People work hard and some want to leave something bigger than themselves,” Hess said. “They just may not be sure of how to do it.” Such aspirations can include starting a charitable foundation, contributing to a substantial cause or simply making sure future generations are afforded financial stability. All are achievable, Hess says, with proper planning and diligent adherence to a strategic plan of action. Hess coordinates and moderates interactive seminars on estate planning, including the upcoming ’10 Biggest Estate Planning Mistakes’ event Tuesday, June 2 in Del Mar. She urges community members to attend and to reach out with any questions on her firm’s new Legacy Building Success System™.

Speaker has tips on empowered college shopping for La Jolla parents By Ashley Mackin Hosted by the La Jolla Cluster Association, college expert and blogger Lynn O’Shaughnessy made a presentation to about 150 parents at La Jolla High School on April 21, giving them the lowdown on paying for a college education. The author of the best-selling “The College Solution: A guide for everyone looking for the right school at the right price,” she also writes the blog “The College Solution,” and put her own two children through college, recently. She’s considered by some to be the ultimate insider. “This whole process does not have to be as scary or as expensive if you are an empowered college shopper,” O’Shaughnessy said. “Frankly, most people aren’t. But if you are a smart college shopper, you’re going to understand this whole process.” She suggested steps parents take before their child applies for a college and outlined the different types of financial assistance available, and the tools available to determine the actual cost of college.
Seeking the perfect match First and foremost, she advised, ignore the myth that there are only a handful of colleges and universities students should strive to attend. “When you believe that, you are doing a horrible disservice to your children. There are many schools out there, some you might have never heard of, that are better for undergraduates and might be better for your

‘The College Solution’ blogger Lynn O’Shaughnessy with La Jolla Cluster Association member Melinda Gaffney Ashley Mackin child,” O’Shaughnessy said. Citing the University of Arkansas as an example to business majors, she pointed out that Walmart has its headquarters in Arkansas and requires any company it does business with to have a corporate office there. Some 300 companies (many Fortune 500) have branches in Arkansas and constantly offer internships. “That’s a school that would never be on someone’s radar,” she said, and because it’s away from the coasts and not very well known, it’s significantly cheaper.
Sa Op t. & en Su Ho n. us 1 -4 e pm
Resources such as O’Shaughnessy’s blog and collegeboard.org can help in the search for schools that specialize in particular majors, their selectivity, location and sport options. “You can evaluate if a school is going to be generous to your child before he or she applies,” O’Shaughnessy said. “If money is an issue, you need to research the school to see what chance your child has for getting money from that school.” A tool to help determine that chance involves using a Net Price Calculator, found on college websites. Using financial information and details about the student, it will determine the cost of attending that school. “The Net Price Calculator looks at grades and possibility of financial aid from the state or federal government or from the school. It adds all that up and subtracts from the total cost of attendance and gives you your price,” she said. “Most people apply to schools blindly without knowing whether the school will give them money until they get a financial-aid package. The Net Price Calculator is a powerful tool because it tells you if the school will give you money. If it’s going to cost you too much, don’t apply, look elsewhere.” O’Shaughnessy cautioned however, that some schools have “terrible” calculators that do not give a complete picture. She said if the calculator only takes a minute or two to complete, it’s probably lacking. The best take about 20 minutes to complete. “Colleges are priced like airline tickets, everyone pays a different price,” O’Shaughnessy said. “Some schools will be very generous to your child, even B- and C-average students can get money.”

One source of aid that comes straight from the school is a merit scholarship, which rewards talent, academics, and/or artistic or athletic accomplishments. O’Shaughnessy said they are great for high-income students and can supplement a private scholarship. If a student were to receive private scholarships, that amount would not affect what they might receive in a merit scholarship. Conversely, should a student receive need-based aid or support from the state or federal government, private scholarships might affect how much the student receives.
“If you get need-based aid from the school and then get a scholarship from a local Rotary, the school can deduct (the Rotary contribution) from the financial aid package,” she said, adding parents can contact the school and ask what the school’s policy is on outside scholarships and how they affect school-based aid. When seeking private scholarships, O’Shaughnessy said, look for applications that require one or more essays. “These weed competition out quickly because most kids don’t want to write essays,” she joked.
College or university? “A university is there for research and there might be 600 students in a class. Graduate students are typically the teachers. Research universities have bigger and better facilities, they have Nobel Prize winners (as professors), but undergrads aren’t typically going to have access to them, unless the student is super brilliant,” she said. “A college might be smaller and have smaller classrooms and will focus on undergraduates.” Attending a college also provides the opportunity to complete prerequisite courses in smaller more intimate environments and possibly transfer to another school to complete the major. “My daughter thought she wanted to go to Berkeley, but it became apparent to me sooner than it did for her that she wasn’t in the top 10 percent of her class. She was a very bright kid with a social IQ off the chart, but she was not a 4.0 (GPA) student, more like a 3.5 student,” she said. O’Shaughnessy started looking at colleges, and after realizing how many of them could offer assistance, focused on smaller colleges. Her daughter graduated from Juniata College in 2011 and is now a marketing director for Rokenbok Toy Company in Solana Beach. After seeing the path his sister took, O’Shaughnessy’s son attended Beloit College and is now in graduate school. Several parents said they were encouraged by the talk. Noelle Mayne, whose son is a sophomore, said, “she confirmed some of my thinking about colleges perhaps being a better fit for my son, and a better value, based on the financial aid options and (faculty/student) interaction. After hearing a lot of my friends who’ve gone through this process over the last few years, I see that it’s daunting, so I was glad to have some resources.” Dana Irwin, who has twins in college and a sophomore at La Jolla High, said she appreciated the up-to-date information. “Every time you come to something like this — and I’ve been to many over the years — you learn something new. Things change every few years. These presentations are always worth coming to,” she said. “People in our community think there’s no help for them financially, but there are schools where you can get a great education and also some merit aid to take some pressure off your family.” u

League House at 60 Sunday event to celebrate decades of help for seniors By Ashley Mackin he Social Service League of La Jolla (SSL) started with a bunch of young women who were in the choir at St. James By-theSea Episcopal Church during the 1920s, said SSL past president Meredith Feddersen. “Their mothers wanted them to do things that benefitted people in need, so they’d make packages for new mothers that included toiletries and clothing for newborns, along with other projects.” Often meeting in members’ homes, the women hosted entertainment events and fundraisers to pay for their projects. As they became more organized, they decided they wanted to have just one mission. Seeing that retired teachers and retail clerks were having difficulty affording a safe place to live, SSL decided to focus on helping low-income seniors. “It’s always been neighbors helping neighbors,” said SSL past president Lois Stanton. Over the years, SSL developed the League House at 7465 Olivetas Ave. into an expansive living facility and acquired the adjacent Darlington House for hosting events and fundraisers. The League is preparing to celebrate its 60th anniversary with refreshments and live music,
and presentations from government officials including Congressmember Scott Peters, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, County Supervisor Ron Roberts and San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner, 2-4 p.m. Sunday, May 17. The public is invited to attend and tour the League and Darlington Houses.
T
Here’s how it all happened Starting in the 1930s, SSL devised a plan to develop private apartments for seniors that would include a dining room, kitchen and outdoor patio. To raise funds for the project, SSL sponsored social activities like ballets, fashion shows, musicals and a day at the races. By 1949 — with a little help from then-League president and Casa de Manana hotel builder Isabel Hopkins — SSL had enough cash to purchase the property at 7465 Olivetas Ave. Drawings for a 16-unit, L-shaped building were approved the following year, and construction began in 1954. In May 1955, the League House opened, named after the Social Service League, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. It wasn’t long before the need for expansion became clear, and SSL decided to add more apartment units. See League House, A26

Social Service League of La Jolla owns and operates the historic Darlington House, which hosts public and private functions throughout the year. Funds raised at Darlington House events support SSL programs. Courtesy From League House, A25 The group raised funds for the addition, but also received a gift from an estate, that allowed them to plan for 12 more units, an elevator and reconfigured lounge. Work began in 1960 and was complete in 1961. At that time the League House was a 28-unit, U-shaped building. Seeing the impact the League House had on seniors in La Jolla, other large donations poured in — including those from estate bequests and from benefactress Florence Riford. Sibyl Darlington, who owned the adjacent large Mediterranean-style home, passed away in 1967, and her illustrious home was available for purchase. Thanks to a large financial estate gift, SSL was able to purchase the house and the land on which it sat, and decided to once again expand the League House, adding 24 units and a third story in 1977. The Darlington House was refurbished and became a wedding and special events venue, which continuously provides financial support for the League House. SSL operates both houses.
League House tenants Feddersen said original League House
tenants were only from La Jolla, but applications were adjusted to include anyone from San Diego County. For many, their financial difficulty resulted from a death, disease or divorce. “Many of our residents are highly educated and successful, but if their spouse died or was ill and they spent all of their savings helping them out or paying medical bills, that can wipe anyone out financially,” Stanton said. “Or in the course of a divorce, one may lose the benefits they once had.” League House manager Ellen Seaborn said potential tenants must be at least 62 years old, and make no more than $2,000 a month. Subsidized by Darlington House proceeds, “We charge 30 percent of their income after Medicare expenses for rent and $20 a month for all utilities,” she said, adding residents receive five dinners a week that are catered by the nearby White Sands. The studio apartments have a private bathroom and kitchenette. “We want to offer residents the opportunity to support themselves and not have to ask their children for money or pose a difficulty to their families,” Feddersen said. u n On the Web: darlingtonhouse.com

By Linda Hutchison Question: What do reformed Anglicans, a railroad station and the margarita have in common? Answer: In La Jolla, they are all part of the history of the United Methodist Church. Located on La Jolla Boulevard close to the Bird Rock community for more than 60 years, the church is well known for its rose garden, annual rummage sale, large nursery school and music programs, according to Rev. Dr. Walter Dilg, pastor. The church’s mission statement is “to make, mature and mobilize the disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world,” as described in its “Book of Discipline,” he said. “We do this predominantly through our worship/music programs, our education programs and service projects.” See Methodist Church, B6

o far this month, we’ve seen lots of May gray, with cool temperatures. April was beautiful though, with cool spring days, and the jacaranda tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia) coming back with stunning purple blooms. The big swell last week before the full moon reshaped some of the small beaches in La Jolla; the high water carved away
quite a lot of sand. At La Jolla Shores, I watched shorebirds foraging on the new clumps of seaweed and seagrass that the tide had brought in. Marbled godwits, whimbrels and snowy egrets plucked creatures from the intertidal zone. I also found many stranded Velella velella jellyfish (by-the-wind sailors). These little jellies float at the surface of the ocean,

at the mercy of the winds and their small sail. They are normally found farther out to sea, but get blown ashore when we get strong westerlies. They have stinging cells (nematocysts) like all jellyfish, although people have various sensitivities to them. Best not to touch! Western gulls (Larus occidentalis) are busy making their courtship moves and those pairs with established nests are readying them for eggs. These beautiful gulls with white underparts and slaty backs, nest along our cliffs and sometimes on chimneys. Parents take turns incubating the eggs, which should hatch in late May, or early June. I’m also still seeing a lot of gray whales making the northward migration to Alaska. Going north, mother whales and
their new calves hug the coastline to avoid predators (killer whales), so they are especially close at this time of year — sometimes inshore of the kelp beds. One day, I watched a mother-calf pair for a long time. They were taking a break from swimming and were just playing and spyhopping — only about 200 yards offshore. There is always something amazing to watch along our shoreline! u — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation, working with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla.

Art historian, Dr. James Grebl will explore an intriguing array of art history tales, often revealing astonishing episodes of lust, greed, crime, misadventure and tragedy. Every work of art has a similar history of past ownership and events affecting its condition, appearance and accessibility, which often reads like a detective story.
The largest definitive mid-career survey of the work of celebrated American artist Nicole Eisenman to date, Dear Nemesis, Nicole Eisenman 1993-2013 includes more than 120 works, charting the development of Eisenman’s practice across painting, printmaking, and drawing from the 1990s to the present.

Marine Room hosts auction gala for Cygnet Theatre
M
ore than 200 Cygnet Theatre supporters enjoyed a soldout high tide celebration April 19 at the Marine Room in La Jolla. “Cygnet by the Sea” netted about $175,000 for the theater’s programs, which are based in Old Town San Diego. The evening began with the specialty Blue Cygtini cocktail, silent auction and the chance to mingle and take in the spectacular view as the sun set over La Jolla. Executive Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef de Cuisine Ron Oliver prepared a surf-and-turf meal that was served as waves crashed against the windows just a few feet away. A handcrafted swan dessert by Tina Lu topped off dinner. Next came a live auction and a cabaret-style musical revue. Performers shared a repertoire of songs from Cygnet’s upcoming Season 13. u

MADISON GALLERY PRESENTS
Urban Horses
DOUG OWEN Madison Gallery is pleased to present Urban Horses, sculptor Doug Owen’s first solo show at Madison Gallery in La Jolla. Situated in the fascinating space between representation and abstraction, Doug Owen’s graceful sculptures offer up a wealth of associations. The horse, his perennial subject, has been a favorite of artists for centuries. In his single-minded devotion to the equine form, Owen joins the ranks of such renowned artists as Frederic Remington and Susan Rothenberg, for whom horses retain a primal, almost mythical power. Like them, he also makes his home in the Western U.S., where horses further connote the complex history of the American frontier. Although Owen’s forms undoubtedly resemble horses, they can also be seen as pure assemblages of faintly recognizable objects, namely car, tractor, and motorcycle parts. Owen’s choice of medium imbues his sculptures with a touch of irony: his horses are constructed out of the very material that ultimately replaced them. At the same time, these vintage vehicle parts are themselves obsolete, and carry with them a certain nostalgic air. In their incorporation of found objects, the sculptures recall the work of artists like Ed Kienholz and Noah Purifoy, whose sculptures likewise use manufactured detritus to create new, powerful structures. A culmination of 40 years of artistic exploration, Doug Owen’s sculpture has garnered an international following in recent years. He currently lives and works in western Colorado with his two sons. Urban Horses will feature 9-10 new works created especially for this exhibition. Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California.

The Methodist denomination began as a reform movement in the 1700s when two brothers in England — John and Charles Wesley — had transforming religious experiences and wanted to revive the Anglican Church (Church of England). “It was not so much a theological break,” explained Rev. Dilg. “They had no doctrinary
arguments, continued with the same articles of faith as the Anglicans, but with a spirit of expansion rather than a rigid theological jacket to wear.” The movement coincided with the settling of America and the impending Revolutionary War, and became the faith of the colonists. Up until about 30 years ago, it was the largest Protestant denomination in the United States (now surpassed by Baptists). It is today an

Traditional services are offered at 10 a.m. Sunday — including Sunday School. international denomination with churches around the world. The motto of the Methodist Church is “Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors.” “We try to live this out,” said Rev. Dilg, who described his congregation as “on the liberal/progressive side, a multi-generational church seeking social justice and personal spirituality. Those looking for the freedom to explore will find it here.” La Jolla United Methodist offers a full range of services and programs for its members and the community. A traditional worship service is 10 a.m. Sundays. There is also Sunday School at 10 a.m. for children, with childcare for those under age 3. On the second Sunday of each month, a more relaxed service is held at 5 p.m. The church’s nursery school has been open to all in the community since 1972. It is non-sectarian and offers scholarships. Church members participate in several programs, including fellowship groups for different ages (from teenagers and young parents to retirees) and book discussion and music groups. Music plays a big part in the church programs and includes a chancel choir, a Dorian bell choir and a praise band. The church offers several concerts a year for the public that feature a variety of music genres — from mariachi bands to Irish pipes. Rev. Dilg, who plays guitar and drums, is helping expand the church’s music programs with a new youth band and a summer music and arts camp. United Methodist participates in community outreach and global ministries, too. Many are funded by its annual rummage sale, and include Imagine No Malaria, Community Christian Service Agency, Habitat for Humanity and Meals on Wheels. La Jolla United Methodist Church was founded in 1953 by a few members who first met at Casa de Manana. In December of that year, they bought the San Carlos Station building on La Jolla Boulevard at Mira Monte Avenue. It was built in 1924 as a passenger station and power substation for the San Diego Electric Railway, San Diego’s streetcar line. (The line ran from 1924 to 1940 on tracks located where the bike path is now. Before it, the Los Angeles
and San Diego Beach Railroad ran on the same roadbed from 1894 to 1917.) Although used during the 1940s as an aviator school and as an arts and crafts school, the old station stood mostly empty until the new Methodist congregation made it into their sanctuary. Soon they overfilled the small building and so bought two properties next door — La Plaza Mexican restaurant and El Toro bar. La Plaza is thought to be where the first margarita was served in the United States, adapted by the bartender Albert Hernandez in 1947. Hernandez bought the restaurant and relocated it to downtown La Jolla, but the bar’s lease ran for three more years. Since the Methodists were a “dry” congregation, they were careful that the income from the bar did not fund church activities. The restaurant building became the church sanctuary for 10 years (a new sanctuary was built in 1969) and is today a fellowship hall used social gatherings. The former bar is the church library, which houses more than 5,000 volumes. The waiting area in back of the original station building (now a chapel) and overlooking the former tracks has been enclosed and is the current youth center. The chapel has been restored and is used for weddings and is open to the public. Rev. Dilg has been the pastor since July 2009. He was born in Long Island, New York and spent his childhood in a suburb of Chicago. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Illinois, a master’s of divinity from Boston University School of Theology and a doctor of ministry degree from Claremont School of Theology. He has served as a pastor at several United Methodist churches in Southern California, including Glendale, Altadena, Moorpark, Santa Maria and Ventura. He and his wife, Debbie, an Advanced Placement high school English teacher, have a grown son and daughter. u n This report concludes La Jolla Light’s series on faith communities within La Jolla.

Malashock and Sacra/Profana
‘Orpheus’ inspires ‘Snakeskin’ dance-drama By Kris Eitland rishan Oberoi, artistic director for the choral ensemble Sacra/Profana, said he has worked with top dance companies before and was inspired to collaborate with John Malashock after viewing his “Floating World.” “I followed him and said I liked his work,” Oberoi said. “We talked about ideas and here we are.” Now the men are focused on the interplay between dancers and musicians in their collaborative dance drama, “Snakeskin,” and how they will glide on and off a thrust stage May 15-17, at the Forum Theatre on the UC San Diego campus. “ ‘Snakeskin’ is inspired by the Tennessee Williams’ play, ‘Orpheus Descending,’ ” Oberoi said. “We retain the haunting underworld of his dark story … but ultimately, the score and choreography are uplifting, even though it does not end well.” There are complex themes hiding under the mythic story of a wild man who wanders into small Southern town. Oberoi wrote the music and lyrics for “Snakeskin” to reflect a dark, earthy tone. “There are two layers,” Oberoi said. “The instrumental has influences from Stravinsky and Bartok, and on top of that are more songs, with folkrock idioms. We want to convey that American identity.” There are 10 songs and eight singers who walk onto a platform on stage built like an old barn. “All of them sing and play instruments, too,” Oberoi said. “The tuba player is a lovely soprano.” Oberoi’s rich lyrics guided the choreography, said John Malashock. “The first song is ‘Blaze a Bitter Trail,’ ” Malashock said. “That’s character Val’s solo, where we meet him for the first time. Justin Flores, a new guy for us, dances the role of Val. He’s not a bad guy. He’s a drifter and he meets strange characters. Some of the characters have changed from ‘Orpheus,’ in an organic way, and that’s part of the process.” Malashock said he and his dancers did a lot of character development and built the piece especially for the unusual stage inside the 400-seat Forum Theatre. “I love story-telling dance, Malashock
K
said. “There are some mature themes — some frustrations and narrow-mindedness, racism, but that should be OK for anyone over age 10. The musicians are on the platform and there are lots of exits off the side of the stage in this tragedy — and lots of action.” Tennessee William’s play “Orpheus Descending” was presented on Broadway with modest success in 1957. Revived for Broadway in 1989, it starred Vanessa Redgrave. She starred as Lady Torrance again for the TV film adaptation in 1990. In the modern retelling of the ancient Greek legend, her father was killed by the KKK and she’s trapped in a terrible marriage for 20 years. Everything changes when a stranger in a snakeskin jacket comes to town. Lara Segura dances the role of Lady in the premiere of “Snakeskin,” and Nicholas Strasburg is her suspicious husband, Jabe. They dance of temptation, passion and consequence. “He’s a scary character in the story,” Segura said, “and goes crazy when Val comes through the town. Costumes take us to the 1940s era, and it’s stunning to see how the musicians shift from voice and instruments. It becomes a conversation.” During the evening, eight dancers and eight musicians doubling as vocalists will depict flawed characters struggling with bigotry, class and isolation. “We dance on the thrust stage and the musicians appear on the platform behind us with a rusty roof,” Segura said. “There are three stairways and we’ll be running through the crowd. I’d experienced the Sacra-Profana choir before, and love working with Krishan. His musical tone switches and his lyrics create this new storyline.” There are 23 sections in “Snakeskin.” Segura said Malashock’s choreography requires motion in the body and facial expression. “John’s movement is dynamic and this becomes an endurance test,” Segura said. “It’s athletic and also tells a story, so it’s 70 minutes of dance-drama.” u n If you go: Malashock Dance and Sacra/Profana (in partnership with UCSD Department of Theatre & Dance) will present “Snakeskin,” 7:30 p.m. May 15-17; VIP Reception 6:30 p.m. May 16, The Forum Theatre at UCSD, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive.

Bishop’s gala raises cash for scholarships, teacher training
T
he Bishop’s School’s 30th annual gala Vineyard Knights took place April 18 on the school’s campus, co-chaired by Kathryn Hamon and Susan Piegza of La Jolla and Juliann Ford of Rancho Santa Fe. Each year, the auction-event raises approximately $1 million to support the school’s student need-based financial aid (serving about 20 percent of the students) and faculty professional growth programs. Giuseppe Catering provided dinner for some 500 guests, and the band Cash’d Out provided the music for dancing. Key to the gala’s success was the signature wine auction, and live and silent auctions that emphasized items offering unique experiences. u Photos by Studio M

Cygnet Theatre’s ‘The Whale’ dives into honesty By Diana Saenger “Any play that can take me by surprise or make me laugh and cry is an inviting play to work on,” said Shana Wride of “The Whale,” which she is directing at Cygnet Theatre in Old Town. “Sam Hunter is a brilliant writer. This play is fascinating and unlike anything we’ve seen. Its humor and humanity has surprising aspects.” “The Whale” revolves around Charlie (Andrew Oswald), a behemoth of a man who weighs more than 500 pounds and can’t stop eating, and is ready to end it all. But there is his daughter to think of, the words spoken by the Mormon missionary who visited to consider, and thoughts about sexual orientation — his own and those of others. Wride said she auditioned 160 actors for the play with a sharp eye on who would play Charlie before giving the role to Oswald. The remaining cast includes Judy Bauerlein (Liz), Melissa Fernandes (Mary), Craig Jorczak (Elder Thomas), and Erin McIntosh (Ellie). “Being a director is like being a teacher, boss or parent, it’s my job to help everyone get to where they need to be. Our Charlie is not an actor of size. That became an issue because many of the actors who came in were too thin. You couldn’t even add a padded suit to them that would make sense. So the audience will be expected to make a leap of faith here.” Rather than explaining to the actors all the different elements to these characters herself, Wride made a decision to invite medical experts in to talk to the cast. “I knew as a director and dramaturge and through my research, that I wanted outside
Craig Jorczak, Judy Bauerlein, Melissa Fernandes, Erin McIntosh and Andrew Oswald (front) in Cygnet Theatre’s ‘The Whale,’ directed by Shana Wride Ken Jacques information,” Wride said. “I called consultants who came in and spoke to me and the cast on every aspect of the play. I’d never done anything like this before. You can read articles and educate yourself, but this interaction was inspiring and invaluable. We had doctors, nurses,
Mormons, psychologists and family members with morbidly obese relatives, so it was an opportunity for us to build a foundation on people who really understood these situations and that was exciting for me and the cast.” Wride said at the heart of this story is “a
man reaching out to his daughter to be sure she’s OK before he dies. We can all find empathy and our true voice through this story. Although we’re still in rehearsal, I’m starting to see the heart of the story rise to the top. When you see an actor or actors in the scene and the ball starts to drop and there’s a spark of connection to all the work we’ve been doing, that’s my favorite part of a play. Because theater is like nothing else, that rare moment can change from rehearsal to rehearsal because it’s not tape. It’s a live element where for one second everything lined up and something unique happened. Those are the moments I look for.” Wride said she doesn’t see everyone leaving the theater with the same reactions. “I hope each has his or her own personal experience,” she said. “I don’t think the play is trying to say, ‘here’s my message’ or what you should think or feel as a result. We’re trying to leave enough room for a personal experience so someone’s background will dictate how they feel about a 600-pound man, a gay character, God and religion, the choice to check out, be angry, and all the different things being discussed here. “Everyone in the audience is bringing their own filter and experience, and I don’t want to point a finger and say this is the solution. It’s more interesting for people to leave with their own reactions, so they can discuss it.” u n IF YOU GO: “The Whale” runs May 14-June 14 at Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St. in Old Town, San Diego.

Between Sense and Science
UCSD art professors offer show on artificial intelligence By Will Bowen t the Jan. 9 reception for the Autonomous Sensing Conference at Calit2 Auditorium in Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus, visual arts professor Brett Stalbaum supposed, “The problem is that all our ideas about artificial intelligence are outdated and obsolete, and we suffer from irrational fears (such as the one so often seen in popular media) that robots and computer brains will become too smart and then try to take over and destroy us. Worse yet is the thought, which we just can’t stand, that computers — even though they are inanimate objects — don’t give a damn about us. We want them to care!” The conference served as a think tank for the spring 2015 Calit2 Gallery exhibition, “Autonomous Sensing,” on display now through June 5. UCSD visual arts professors Jordan Crandall and Benjamin Bratton co-hosted the conference, which featured speakers Jussi Parikka, Edward Keller and Ryan Bishop. Each gave a presentation and then convened for a panel discussion to lay the intellectual groundwork for the selection of artwork for the upcoming gallery show. The overall idea was to explore and imagine a world where machine sensing (such as GPS) and human sensing (sight, hearing, touch) might come together in new ways and lead to unprecedented
A
Jordan Crandall and Benjamin Bratton host the ‘Autonomous Sensing’ conference. capabilities for knowing and experiencing the world. Imagine what it might be like if you could pack on a computer to enhance your vision, hearing, tactile sensing — or even thinking! The hope of participants was to sketch a new program for the modeling and development of such a synthetic or artificial intelligence — one that combines the biological mind with the capabilities of the computer. The first presenter was Parikka, a professor in Technological Culture & Aesthetics at Winchester School of Art at the University of Southampton in England. Media archaeologists, like Parikka, were ecstatic over the recent unearthing of several previously unknown Andy Warhol digital paintings, which were found on old floppy disks dating back to a 1985 Warhol project,
Panelists Jussi Parikka and Edward Keller Photos by Will Bowen where he used the paint function of the Amiga computer, in a cooperative venture with the company. Parikka shared the details of an experiment he had “excavated,” dating to 1879, wherein a clock was set up to be powered by electrodes implanted in the Earth. Parikka updated the project by constructing a device that could be stuck into the ground, and then could power a computer. Keller, director of the Center for Transformational Media at the New School in New York, also teaches at Parsons New School of Design. He shared a flowchart that linked all the ideas, films, books, popular writers and philosophers related to the topic of artificial intelligence, providing a superb overview. Especially interesting were the clips
screened from films, such as “Code 46” (2003), “Her” (by Spike Jonze), “Man With a Movie Camera” (1929), and “A Scanner Darkly” based on the novel by Phillip Dick. Next up was Bishop, an American professor of global art and politics at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. Bishop shared information on the new high-tech Navy destroyer USS Zumwalt, a superweapon with computerenhanced capabilities for sensing the world. He also mentioned Planetary Skin, a satellite imaging system that keeps track of global ecology, but which some people fear could be used for politically motivated surveillance practices. Bratton returned to the podium to wrap things up, noting, “There are other ways to look at the world than to just measure it as scientists do. Will artificial intelligence save us or destroy us? Will it be used for human benefit or for harm?” u n To “experience” their answers, stop by “Autonomous Sensing ScanLAB,” curated by Ryan Bishop, Benjamin Bratton, Jordan Crandall, Edward Keller and Jussi Parikka, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, through June 5 at Calit2 Gallery, Atkinson Hall, First Floor, 9500 Gilman Drive. gallery.calit2.net Video lectures by Bratton and Parikka can be found by searching their names on YouTube.com

Design Ideas for today and tomorrow Most of the time, trends are a result of what has been popular today and yesterday, but we wanted to take a look at what design ideas are not only popular today, but will continue to grow in the future. The National Association of Home Builders recently announced their awards for innovative and creative designs for builders, remodelers, architects, developers, and interior designers across the nation. In looking at the winners and all that was submitted, here are some of the trends that builders and designers see as the future in home design and remodeling:
1. White kitchens The white-on-white kitchen continues to be popular in all types of styles, from modern to traditional. White cabinets with white counter tops and a white back splash offer a clean, simple look that more and more homeowners are falling in love with. 2. Double islands The efficient use of space and multifunctionality of a double island is another kitchen trend that designers are seeing more and more of. Many times, one island may be used for cooking and preparing while the second island is a place for serving and dining. And depending on the space you’re working with, these islands can be either back-to-back or side-by-side. 3. Combining materials It appears that gone are the days where you had to decide to either go with natural materials (wood, stone) or more modern elements (steel, glass). Many homeowners and designers are now combining these materials and textures for new modern-traditional looks.
4. Spa bathrooms The trend in thinking of your bathroom more as a spa than a utility room is continuing to grow. Homeowners are splurging for things like luxurious vanities, modern rain showers, and the newest trend: centered bathtubs. Bathtubs are being pulled away from walls and corners and put in the center of the room like an art sculpture. 5. Escape rooms Whether it’s a man-cave, a game room, or a home theater, rooms dedicated to fun, relaxation, and family-time are becoming more and more popular. Families are realizing that you don’t have to go out to have a good time. 6. Bars and wine rooms Likewise, wine rooms and bars are becoming increasingly more popular and are no longer only for the wealthy or for wine connoisseurs. Even if you don’t have the space to dedicate an entire room, wet-bar nooks and decorative wine racks can still add style to a room and promote the idea of relaxation and
entertaining with friends and family. 7. Outdoor rooms Pools, lawns and expansive backyards aren’t the only way to enjoy the outdoors anymore. Many homeowners are finding more creative ways to incorporate indoor-outdoor living spaces: rooftop landscaping, screened in rooms, or even foldable walls can all be utilized to enjoy the benefits of being outdoors with the convenience of being indoors. 8. Smaller entryways Large entries used to be popular to make a grand statement as you enter the house. But more and more, we are seeing large pivoting doors that enter into the main living space. Maybe homeowners are wanting to use that extra square footage to take advantage of some of the other design ideas above. If you’re inspired by any of these ideas and are thinking about ways to improve your living space, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your ideas.

Roasted Garlic Hummus
Catharine L. Kaufman
Hummus at center of a culinary controversy
A
centuries old Middle Eastern concoction artfully blending chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), fresh lemon juice, garlic and olive oil has not only been the cornerstone of this region’s cuisine (along with a source of great pride), but the subject of a renowned documentary film (“Make Hummus Not War”), the cause of a culinary controversy, an international boycott, and now gustatory rockstar of American pop culture featured in various TV series and food blogs devoted entirely to the dish. Here’s why this dip is so hot for National Hummus Day (May 15) and always.

The mighty sesame seed with a rich store of amino acid methionine, beautifully complements the proteins in chickpeas.

n The spread of ethnic conflict: Perhaps the political controversy surrounding hummus stems from the etymology of the word, Arabic in origin, which translates to “chickpea.” Seven years ago, the Association of Lebanese Industrialists launched a petition to the Ministry of Economy & Trade to seek protective status for hummus from the European Commission, as a uniquely Lebanese food. Possibly prompted by Israel’s lucrative export
n Ingredients: • 4 cups chickpeas, canned (drained, skins removed) or raw (soaked overnight, then covered in spring water with teaspoon of baking soda; boil and simmer until tender, about 90 minutes; drained, skins removed) • 1 1/2 cups tahini • Juice from one lemon • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil • 4 garlic cloves n Method: Place garlic in ovenproof dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in moderate oven until tender. Set aside. Place canned or cooked chickpeas (still warm) in food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add
market of hummus (Sabra products), the organization claimed its political rival has now usurped the national dish of Lebanon. A year later, the two nations found a nonviolent form of conflict resolution by a hummus competition to build the biggest bowl. Israel concocted a batch of 9,000 pounds, while Lebanon out-hummussed it by roughly 14,000 pounds. The Guinness World Record for the largest dish of hummus was prepared May 2010 by 300 cooks in al-Fanar, a Lebanese village. The behemoth bowl weighed around 23,000 pounds from eight tons of boiled

garlic, tahini, lemon juice, seasonings. Pulse until smooth. Drizzle in olive oil and gently blend. If hummus is too thick, add ice water for desired consistency. Transfer to a decorative bowl and garnish with roasted chickpeas, olives, chopped parsley, Persian cucumber slices or paprika. — From the kitchen of Chef Jonathan Sudar, Four Seasons Residence Club
chickpeas, two tons each of tahini and lemon juice, along with 154 pounds of olive oil. n A double-duty dip: Hummus is an equally delightful dish for vegans and vegetarians, gluten-intolerants, carnivores, pescavores and pollitarians. Its versatility and universal appeal make it adaptable for light or hearty meals, snacks and sweet treats. u — For additional hummus recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Housing Waits-and Waits-on the Millennials single-family new housing construction is running less than half the levels seen during the housing boom and 37% below their average of the 1990s. one reason is the absence of younger homebuyers. Households headed by someone aged 25-34 (known as the millennial generation) has fallen far more than other age groups since 2006. moreover, not only are millennials not going out on their own, when they do, they usually prefer to rent versus buy a home. the growth in households since the financial crisis has been almost entirely from renters. the median income for millennials in 2013 was $43,625 versus $51,728 in 2007. the prediction for an improved housing market is that it will occur when income growth accelerates, thus increasing the number of first-time homebuyers. in the meantime, it was noted that last year, san diego county wages grew at the slowest annual rate among the nation’s 10 largest cities.
