By Pat Sherman The City of San Diego’s designs for a 25-foot-tall retaining wall along a portion of Torrey Pines Road were roundly rejected by La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) trustees La Jolla during the group’s May 7 Community meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. Planning The proposed 335-foot-long Association wall, intended to stabilize the slope and prevent further erosion on the south side of Torrey Pines Road between Roseland Drive and Little Street, will replace an existing gunite (concrete) wall that is old and weathered. The new wall, to vary in height from 13 to 25 feet, will be topped with post-and-cable safety railings and include a concrete brow ditch to deflect surface runoff. See Retaining Wall, A10

Nathan Krissoff, a counterintelligence officer with the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, deployed to Iraq on Sept. 6, 2006. Just three months later, in the early morning hours of Dec. 9, as he and three fellow Marines were returning to base after combat patrol in a town on the outskirts of Fallujah, Krissoff’s Humvee was struck by a roadside bomb. Nathan bore the brunt of the explosion and was killed instantly. A plaque honoring Nathan Krissoff will be dedicated at the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at Mt.

Town Council to meet with lifeguards, police about beach drinking, drug use and trash n City Council allocates $430,000 for Children’s Pool Walkway spruce-up By Pat Sherman Barber Tract residents say the formerly pristine beach at the edge of their residential neighborhood is being degraded by underage drinking, drug use and trash from an increase in patrons drawn to the pocket beach, largely shielded from the prying eyes of law enforcement and devoid of a lifeguard with the ability to issue citations. Members of the Barber Tract Neighborhood Association (BTNA) voiced their concerns during the May 14 meeting of the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC), noting a need for the city to add a level II lifeguard at the beach — the pay for which ranges from about $63,000 to more than $100,000 annually (with overtime pay and other perks). Barber Tract resident Hollis McMillan said the money would be well spent, as the depiction of the beach as a lawless party zone has spread via social media since 2008, when the City of San Diego banned booze on public beaches. “Our area is so popular because beach-goers

La Jolla Town Council can’t be seen from the street, there’s no patrol there,” McMillan said. “We’re a magnet for all these kids; they come out in great numbers … drinking and smoking pot. Young girls are there with their fifth of vodka.” McMillan said a group of young men returned to the beach repeatedly with a folding table recently to play drinking games, until police responded to residents’ complaints and issued them citations. “I’m all for public beaches and we’ve all granted easements, but the city in taking the easements for the beach is not taking responsibility for what’s now happening there,” she said. LJTC trustee Ann Kerr Bache, who resides in the Barber Tract, noted that after similar problems in the 1990s, the BTNA hired an off-duty police officer to patrol the

Barber Tract Neighborhood Association member Cynthia Chasan says Marine Street Beach needs an additional, Level II lifeguard to issue citations to those breaking the law at this pocket beach, largely tucked away from the view of law enforcement.

From Krissoff Family, A1 Ceremonies will include music from the MCRD Marine Corps Brass Quintet and a T-34 Performance Team Fly-over, and the singing of “God Bless America.” Colonel Bill Seely, who was Lt. Krissoff’s commanding officer in Iraq, will address his character and ultimate service to country. Colonel Seely will also share the inspiring story of the entire Krissoff family — his father, William B. Krissoff, M.D. and his mother, Christine Krissoff of Rancho Santa Fe, and Nathan’s younger brother, Austin, who, like Nathan, became a Marine intelligence officer. Dr. Krissoff found a very special way to honor his son’s memory. At age 61, Dr. Krissoff left his thriving orthopedic practice to join the Navy Medical Corps, serving as the primary or assisting surgeon on more than 225 serious casualties.

According to his father, Nathan was deeply moved by the 9/11 attacks that occurred while he was in his junior year at Williams College in Massachusetts. Located in closer proximity to the attacks, many of Nathan’s friends had friends or relatives who were lost in the tragedy. A year after he graduated, Nathan applied to join the CIA, but his recruiter, although impressed by his academics and character, encouraged him to first gain some real-world experience. Nathan chose to do so through service to country: he joined the Marines as an intelligence officer in 2004, at a time when

“In most cases, fathers inspire sons,” he explained. “In this case, sons inspired dad.” Krissoff was referring not only to his son’s Nathan’s ultimate sacrifice, but to his son, Austin, who, at the time of Nathan’s death, was finishing officers school on his way to becoming a Marine. Dr. Krissoff left his thriving orthopedic practice to join the Navy Medical Corps. But the road to the war zone wasn’t easy: recruiters told him he was too far past the age limit of 42 to be remotely considered. It took presidential intervention for Dr. Krissoff to override the age limit. Following an address to the American Legion in Reno, where the Krissoffs lived at the time, President George Bush and Special Senior Advisor Karl Rove met with the Krissoffs and other families who had lost loved ones in Iraq or Afghanistan. When the President asked if there was anything he could do for the families, Dr. Krissoff spoke up. “I’m a pretty good orthopedic surgeon,” he said. “When my younger son is deployed to Iraq next March, I’d like to be working there as a Navy medical officer.” Bush quickly turned to Christine, knowing this would mean both her husband and surviving son would be in a war theater simultaneously. “What does mama think about this?” the President asked. After Christine told him she was in agreement, the president asked Austin for his assessment. Austin said his dad was in good shape — he had long run marathons, skied and kayaked — and could handle the assignment. The President summoned Rove and tasked him with

www.lajollalight.com making the arrangements. Rove checked out Krissoff on his way back to Washington and learned that he was indeed “a pretty good surgeon.” “His reputation was that of an outstanding trauma and sports medicine surgeon. He was also a marathon runner and a really fine person,” Rove wrote. Two days later, Rove placed Krissoff’s application on the President’s desk just before the President was to meet with Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time. On his final day at the White House, Rove wrote Krissoff a note to wish him well. In short order, Krissoff retired from his medical practice. Once commissioned, he joined the Navy Reserve’s 4th Medical Battalion north of Miramar Air Station and the Krissoffs moved to San Diego County. Dr. Krissoff served two deployments, the first with a surgical team from Camp Lejune at al Taqaddam Air Base near Fallujah, just a few miles from where Nathan had been killed. His second, just days after his return stateside, was at the main trauma center at Camp Bastion in southwestern Afghanistan and coincided with the Marines’ assault on Marjah, a Taliban sanctuary riddled with snipers and makeshift antipersonnel mines. Dr. Krissoff’s first case was a triple amputee. Over the next seven months, he served as the primary or assisting surgeon on 225 casualties. He worked at Camp Pendleton through 2011, then deployed to Guantanamo Bay. Through it all, he said, he remained inspired by his two sons. “Nate had a lot of talents,” Dr. Krissoff

and had an innate emotional intelligence,” Dr. Krissoff said, and, as a case in point, shared a letter Nathan wrote home just three months before his death: “Almost five years to the day after September 11, 2001, I have the chance to put my money where my mouth is in terms of service ... I’m constantly reminded of that famous quote from Tom Hanks’ character at the end of ‘Saving Private Ryan’: ‘Earn this.’ Earning it will mean sacrifice, determination, doing my job to the best of my ability.

Challenger Todd Lesser argues that flipping a coin is not an appropriate way to break a tie.

meeting, then-chair Tim Lucas flipped a coin to determine the winner. In March, Lucas told La Jolla Light via e-mail the LJSA bylaws do not address what to do in the event of a tie, and that the March incident was the first time there has ever been a tie for the last position on the board. Challenger Todd Lesser, former chair of the Traffic & Transportation advisory board, argued that because LJSA bylaws do not address a tie, Robert’s Rules of Order should have been used.

“If the bylaws do not expressly say you can flip a coin (to break a tie), you can’t flip a coin. There are plenty of organizations that have bylaws that say in the event of a tie, flip a coin. But that’s not in the Shores bylaws,” he said. Lesser called upon attorney and former LJSA chair, Joe Dicks, who advised the board that to be in conformance with Robert’s Rules of Order, it should have had a runoff election to break the tie. “I would suggest the credibility of this

board is at stake. The city trusts this board. I’ve always trusted this board,” Dicks said. “The bylaws do not provide for how you settle a tie and by not following Robert’s Rules of Order, which dictate what to do, you deny yourself that credibility.” In rebuttal, Lucas said the bylaws do state that any election challenge must be filed within five days, at which point ballots are destroyed and the election is considered final. “On March 19, eight days after the election, Mr. Lesser sent me an e-mail stating his

By Ashley Mackin La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) held a special meeting ahead of its regular monthly meeting May 13, to answer questions about how its March election was conducted. At issue was using a coin flip to determine who would win the final available seat on the board. The challenge was ultimately denied and election results stand, but it opened the door for LJSA — the board tasked with addressing issues as they relate to the protection and enhancement of the La Jolla Shores area — to examine its bylaws to avoid such an issue in the future. During the March 11 election, 10 candidates ran for nine seats. After the ballots were counted, it was determined there was a tie for ninth place. At the

handled with a link to a Robert’s Rules of Order website,” he said. “No challenge was clearly stated in that e-mail.” Lucas noted he also spoke with Lesser after the March 28 Traffic & Transpiration meeting, but the issue was not brought up. “I assumed the matter was settled,” he said. The challenge was filed April 14, the day following LJSA’s April monthly meeting, at which the new board was seated. “Timeliness is important so the previous board (with members who have some knowledge of the situation) can address the issue,” Lucas said. As such, the board voted 9-3-3 to deny the election challenge because of the untimely nature in which it was filed. The board also voted 12-1-2 to address the issue in the bylaws and specify how a tie shall be broken, should one occur, in the future. The discussion and subsequent bylaw amendment will be placed on next month’s agenda.

In other LJSA news n Little Park plan revived: Taking the reigns from La Jollan Melinda Merryweather, LJSA vice-chair Susan Tschirn and corresponding secretary Angie Preisendorfer will chair the project to restore an area known as Little Park, off Torrey Pines Road at Little Street. Merryweather — whose recent efforts led to the removal of shrubbery on Torrey Pines Road that opened up the view there — held onto project plans since they were originally drawn up in 2003, but handed them off to Tschirn and Preisendorfer for implementation. “We have an appointment with Council

LJSA members Susan Tschirn and Angie Preisendorfer display plans for the restoration of Little Park.

The original plans, she added, were very elaborate and include plantings and a watering and lighting system. “With the city having minimal maintenance budget and our state being in a drought, we want to pull back from that and make the landscaping drought tolerant and use rocks and decomposed granite to make

it clear it’s a park area,” Preisendorfer said.

engineer Steve Lindsay gave LJSA one last update before the break, which begins Memorial Day (May 25). “We still think we can get everything done (on Avenida de la Playa) by the Memorial Day moratorium, but we are having problems with the other parts of the Shores,” he said. “We are going to have to have the contractor re-dig up some of the sewer that was laid on El Paseo Grande, north of Calle Frescota, and also on Calle de la Plata,” when construction resumes after Labor Day in September. Unforeseen complications with the size of the sewer lines led the contractor to determine they would need to be re-laid, but the current pipes will hold through the summer. Construction has been underway since December, 2013, but work during recent months has been on the blocks in front of businesses. For the summer, the street will be re-paved with temporary asphalt and be completely driveable. City crews have already replaced the crosswalk at Calle de la Plata and added safety measures to make it more visible for the predicted 2-3 million visitors to the Shores this summer. A concrete “bump-out” was installed to extend the curb and further clarify the area as a crosswalk. The line for cars to stop at the stop sign painted on the street is also farther from the crosswalk than previously, so there’s greater distance between pedestrians and vehicles. n Next meeting: LJSA will convene 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 10 at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Building T-29, 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org@gmail.com u

The request was made following observations that litter from people attending special events is often found overflowing from public trashcans onto streets and sidewalks in the Village days after an event. “We want them to come into the Village and come and see our stores, but they’re dragging up all their stuff with them, and then dumping it on top of walls, all over the place,” Marengo said, noting that additional trashcans would be used during this year’s fireworks display at La Jolla Cove, which was also discussed.

From Stench Solutions, A1 In response to the forum, several people submitted ideas on how to deter sea lions from the Cove and reduce the stench, including part-time La Jolla resident Rick Edward Richards, who mailed custom T-shirts to several outlets, including LJVMA and La Jolla Light, to promote his proposal. Although Marengo noted Richards’ concept — using the jet pack from a jet ski or personal water craft in reverse to hose down the cliffs with high-pressure seawater — was explored earlier and deemed untenable by the California Coastal Commission (due to its potential to erode the cliffs), Marengo said La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory committee chair Dan Allen is proposing a similar concept to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) that involves misting the rocks. Marengo said CCC’s Alex Llerandi seemed initially amenable to Allen’s mist proposal. “It’s more consistent with what you see from rainfall and sea water rising,” Marengo said. “The Coastal Commission thought that was interesting and wanted to see if it had any merit and wouldn’t be an erosive process.” While Allen and LJTC President Steve Haskins met earlier this month with officials from NOAA Fisheries to discuss the sea lion issue, Marengo said he met with the office of 78th District Assemblymember Toni Atkins, who has been apprised of both the seal and sea lion colonies since she served on the San Diego City Council, and pledged her assistance to help move forward any potential solution that “had legs.” Marengo also suggested suspending nets over a large portion of the bluffs to create a barrier preventing sea lions from climbing up onto them and defecating, while still providing birds a ledge to rest. Marengo also said he recently purchased dog whistles of various frequencies to see if the sound causes sea lions to flee the rocks and beach. “I’ve got three new ones on my desk that I’m going to go try,” he said. Meanwhile, Marengo’s wife, Deborah Marengo, is proposing another solution that involves using a pool of about $400,000 in unused developer impact fees (DIF) collected in the ’70s and ’80s to solve the problem. The fees were collected to establish remote parking lots and a shuttle

Rick Edward Richards said the website and T-shirts he designed could be used to raise money to solve the sea lion stench problem at La Jolla Cove. Daniel K. Lew system to increase access to the coast by easing parking and traffic congestion in the Village. Deemed unfeasible, a community Coastal Access & Parking Board that Deborah Marengo chairs has reduced its monthly meetings to quarterly because the city and CCC have repeatedly precluded alternate suggestions to spend the money. In the end, a motion to write a letter to the City of San Diego and CCC requesting the unused fees be used to hire city Park and Recreation employees to cleanse the cliffs passed unanimously. “By cleaning up the rocks you’re providing more coastal access to the beach,” Claude-Anthony Marengo said. “Hopefully that gets legs.”

In other LJVMA news

n More event trashcans requested: LJVMA, which uses an assessment on local businesses to woo shoppers and tourists to La Jolla’s business improvement district, also approved a motion to send a letter to the city requesting all permits for special events include the placement of additional recyclable trash cans in the Village that would be removed on the Monday after the event.

n Fireworks partnership: LJVMA trustees also passed a motion to partner with fireworks organizer Deborah Marengo to produce this year’s display at La Jolla Cove (including the addition of more trashcans in the Village). The board voted in favor of having the nonprofit La Jolla Town Foundation corporation process donations for this year’s event for a 1 percent administrative fee. n End of Summer Fire Run: Trustees also made a motion to approve the End of Summer 4-Mile Run/Walk (formerly End of Summer Fire Run/Walk), 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, which kicks off at Fay Avenue and Prospect Street — provided organizers add additional trashcans along the route, which winds down La Jolla Boulevard into Pacific Beach.

A remaining portion of an old retaining wall along Torrey Pines Road in the Shores (left) and a rendering a proposed 13- to 25-foot-high replacement wall the city plans to construct there. LJCPA trustees say the new retaining wall is unsightly and should not have bypassed subcommittee and environmental review. Courtesy From Retaining Wall, A1

graduated wall design suggested by La Jolla Shores architect and former LJCPA trustee Phil Merten, who noted that the La Jolla Shores Design Manual discourages dramatic cuts in hillsides. “The idea is to either not make cuts or to try and do something to mitigate the appearance of a cut,” Merten later told La Jolla Light, adding that San Diego Municipal Code suggests using series of shorter walls that “stair-step up the slope, allowing space between the walls for landscaping that could cascade down over the sections of walls and grow up under the face of the wall” to

soften its appearance. Guise said the city’s proposed design is the current standard when a retaining wall is installed in the public-right-of-way. LJCPA trustee Mike Costello countered, “As a person who sits on (the Development Permit Review) subcommittee I’m going to have to be telling property owners why they can’t have a 13- to 25-foot high retaining wall and why they have to go along with the municipal code and break up a large retaining wall and put landscaping in between. This is a perfect time for the city to follow its own recommendations and do as you or we

The wall, on the city’s infrastructure bucket list since 2001, is expected to take six to eight months to complete. Several aspects of the project incurred trustees’ displeasure, including its stark, simulated boulder face, and the city exempting it from environmental analysis and LJCPA subcommittee review. “The city asked that it not go through the subcommittees to reduce their costs, so they can apply more dollars to the project than staff time,” explained city project manager

Jason Guise, noting that the project is now fully funded and that a structural engineer has completed 90 percent of its design. LJCPA member Don Schmidt said he feels La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation Board should have reviewed the project before it came to the LJCPA for a vote. “The really great work that’s done in La Jolla is done at the committee level because that is when the specific questions are asked, and the trustees get filled in,” Schmidt said. “I think that money would have been really well spent.” LJCPA trustees said they favored a

would tell any private citizen.” Trustee Janie Emerson, who also sits on the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee, added, “If a presentation like this came to us to be approved we would send you back on a number of issues. … You don’t have a good presentation to give us (for a project) on a main street artery as you come into La Jolla. This is what people are going to see, and it’s abominable.” LJCPA trustees David Little and Jim Fitzgerald said they felt the solid wall would create an “echo chamber” that bounces traffic noise back toward residences on the opposite side of Torrey Pines Road. “We’re presented with a project that you said is 90 percent engineered,” Fitzgerald noted. “In my opinion there’s a lot that could have been done if you had got community input early-on.” A motion passed unanimously that the city return with more thorough plans that take into account trustees’ concerns, with LJCPA President Joe LaCava abstaining. Although LaCava said the project is long overdue and the slope needs to be stabilized, he said he was “equally disappointed” with the plans. “This is a big, big project,” LaCava said. “We get one shot to do this one right.”

Climate action requested

Trustees considered a presentation by Brian Elliott, a campaign organizer with the nonprofit Climate Action Campaign, a watchdog group formed in January by Nicole Capretz, an environmental attorney and former policy advisor to City Councilmember Todd Gloria. Capretz helped develop the

aggressive climate action plan Gloria issued when he was interim mayor. Current Mayor Kevin Faulconer released his own slightly modified climate action plan last fall, which Elliott said his organization is hoping planning groups such as the LJCPA will support before it can be “watered down.” (An early version of Gloria’s plan included a mandate for homeowners to make energy efficient upgrades before selling their homes; Faulconer’s plan merely requires homeowners to disclose energy and water usage to potential buyers.) “We don’t want other people to come in and say we want softer goals,” Elliott said. “We want San Diego to be the leader in clean energy, not only in California, but in the country.” The mayor’s draft plan, part of a state mandate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is undergoing environmental review. Elliott said Faulconer’s current plan retains “crucial pieces” of Gloria’s plan, including “incremental goals” to redirect 90 percent of garbage away from Miramar Landfill via recycling and composting, and to substantially increase public transportation and renewable energy use. “Right now, 87 percent of folks who live within a half-mile from transit still drive to work,” Elliott said, noting that the mayor’s plan seeks to reduce that number to 50 percent by 2035. The mayor’s plan also retained Gloria’s goal that the city obtain 100 percent of its energy from clean and renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydropower,

Brian Elliott, organizer with the Climate Action Campaign Pat Sherman by 2035. Reaching that renewable energy goal involves the city establishing a Community Choice Energy (CCE) nonprofit structure, which would have purchasing power for the city’s electricity needs. CCE structures have proven successful in Marin and Sonoma counties. “It’s been proven that the rates for people who are in this program are lower and their clean energy content is higher,” Elliott said. “It’s a proven model and that’s why we really need to continue to advocate for it to remain in this plan.” Currently, the city receives all its energy from San Diego Gas & Electric. “We don’t have a choice in how much clean energy we can get from SDG&E,” Elliott said. “They cap us at about 32 percent

right now. They have a state mandate to get a little bit higher than that, but it’s not going to reach that 100 percent level the city is calling for in its climate action plan. Community Choice Energy allows us to do that.” In the end, trustees said they needed more time to review the mayor’s plan before they could consider drafting Elliott’s requested letter supporting it. Fitzgerald said that without a cost-benefit analysis written into the plan, it puts forth “goals at any cost.” Schmidt argued that the city has little money to implement the kind of transit that would make a substantive difference, such as a subway or rail system. “We have these lofty transit goals,” Schmidt said. “Who on God’s green earth is going to pay for this? … I really have a problem with the trustees voting on something where we haven’t seen the details.” LaCava said there is currently $200 billion available for transit if citizens and officials lobby the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) for transit solutions, rather than freeways. “Transit is not good today; it’s probably worse than it was 10 years ago or 20 years ago, and we’re tolerating that,” he said. “Unless we set lofty goals and shoot for them, we may not get them — and actually it’s state law that we have to hit them.” “We can’t even hit our water goals,” Schmidt countered. “We can if we try,” LaCava said. A motion passed 14-1-1 to have Climate Action Campaign return to LJCPA’s June meeting, after trustees have had more time to review the specifics of the mayor’s plan. u

Spotlight on Local

May 28 ‘Paws and Pints’ party to aid homeless pets By Stephanie Coolidge Manager, La Jolla Veterinary Hospital

Harry’s Coffee Shop. That is where the promise was made. Peggy Howell, one of the most kind, genuine and hard-working animal advocates we’ve ever known, was worried. She started a non-profit foundation with Sue Geller in 1983, and for 28 years, F.O.C.A.S. (Friends Of County Animal Shelters), was La Jolla’s very own animalwelfare charity. They marched with their pets and family members in the La Jolla Christmas Parade, they distributed a newsletter to La Jolla residents on a regular basis, they held countless adoption events, they funded hundreds of spays and neuters through veterinary hospitals in La Jolla, they partnered with La Jolla merchants and businesses to raise funds for foster and education programs, and their board of directors consisted of many animal-loving La Jollans who wanted to help save the lives of homeless animals in San Diego County. F.O.C.A.S. was La Jolla’s. Peggy was proud of that. As Peggy grew older, she saw friends, volunteers and board members come and go, but she was very much aware that F.O.C.A.S. needed to live on after her. She had worked so hard and never dreamt that

Dr. Julie Breher, DVM, MPVM; Peggy Howell, Stephanie Coolidge and Jim Silveira F.O.C.A.S. would become the driving force it was. She started the charity in her home, sometimes fostering 30 dogs at a time. She turned her attic into a cattery, and she would tell Dr. Howell (her husband) that she would not take another homeless animal in. Still, she did. Although F.O.C.A.S. started in the founders homes, 28 years later, it needed someone to take over. Jim Silveira, president of the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, offered to help and Peggy was delighted. RCHS is a four-star charity — the highest rating a charity can receive — and Peggy knew F.O.C.A.S. would be in good hands. One problem: RCHS is in North County. After 28 years, it was very painful

for Peggy to watch her beloved organization leave La Jolla. That’s where we come in. Peggy was and is our hero. She gave her heart and soul to F.O.C.A.S. She gave us words of wisdom, she reminded us of what is always the most important part of the animal industry, and she stood up for what was right in the face of diversity and always for the animals. We were NOT going to let F.O.C.A.S. leave La Jolla. The animal charity is part of the fiber of this community. That day at Harry’s Coffee Shop, Dr. Julie Breher, owner of La Jolla Veterinary Hospital, and me, Stephanie Coolidge, her hospital manager, made a promise: We would keep F.O.C.A.S. in La Jolla. We also promised

Peggy that by 2014, F.O.C.A.S. would be back in the La Jolla Christmas Parade. Peggy was elated. We kept that promise. So here we are. The F.O.C.A.S. program is now managed by RCHS in North County but every year, at the end of May, there is a fundraiser, “Paws and Pints La Jolla.” La Jolla businesses donate goods and/or services for the live auction, silent auction and raffle. The event is hosted and funded by La Jolla Veterinary Hospital, and all proceeds are donated to F.O.C.A.S. in honor of Peggy Howell and Sue Geller, who passed away in 2014. Geller attended the first annual Paws in Pints in 2014 and was extremely proud that F.O.C.A.S. was continuing its legacy in La Jolla. We will pay special tribute to Sue at the 2015 event. All of La Jolla is invited to join this community event, 6:30-9 p.m. Thursday, May 28 at La Jolla Brewing Co., 7536 Fay Ave. There is no cover charge, no RSVP required, no dress code; it’s only mandatory that you love animals, and Peggy would love that!

SeaWorld denies presence of bacterial disease at Cove As the sea lion presence continues to expand at La Jolla Cove prompting community leaders to meet with NOAA for a solution that addresses both public safety and the infamous odor, a concern regarding the bacterial disease, leptospirosis (which sea lions carry) has also been raised. Marine mammal biologist Monica DeAngelis, with NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region, explained that leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease (people can get infected from animals and vice versa), although there has been no confirmed case of a person or pet being infected from a sea lion. “The bacteria are mostly concentrated in urine and other body fluids, and transmission usually occurs through skin abrasions,” she said. In humans, according to the Center for Disease Control, the time between a person’s exposure to a contaminated source and becoming sick is two days to four weeks. Illness usually begins abruptly with fever and other symptoms. Leptospirosis may occur in two phases. After the first phase (symptoms include

fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, vomiting or diarrhea), the patient may recover for a time but become ill again. If a second phase occurs, the person may have kidney or liver failure or meningitis. However, SeaWorld communications director David Koontz said any sea lion brought into SeaWorld’s rehabilitative care undergoes a full physical exam and SeaWorld has not had a positive test for leptospirosis in a sea lion retrieved from La Jolla Cove or the surrounding area. He said leptospirosis is more common in sea lions that live Northern California and that SeaWorld veterinarians have not seen a case in a Southern California sea lion in at least 10 years.

La Jolla Sports Club,

Where Fitness Becomes a Lifestyle By: Brett and Kera Murphy, Owners of La Jolla Sports Club

Everyone thought we were crazy... We packed our entire house into a U-Haul and left our family, friends and careers in upstate New York to be owners of a health club in a saturated market on the other side of the country. Forty-six hours, 11 states and an extra few thousand miles on the odometer later, we arrived in La Jolla and have not looked back. Kera and I have truly believed that open minds lead to understanding cultural perspectives and it is a very important aspect to our individual and collective growth. Through stateside and international travel, we found ourselves longing for life outside of Rochester, New York. About four years ago, we came to La Jolla on a trip up the California coast and my wife confidently proclaimed, “We are going to live here someday.” We set quantifiable goals for our careers, both short- and long-term; Kera had her own Salon and Spa business and I was a Sales Engineer/Manager for a distribution company. We shattered those goals in just three years and, with the relationships that we forged along the way, were able to purchase the beautiful health club, La Jolla Sports Club. We saw a need in the industry and the perfect membership base built on the premise of community and caring. We grew tired of visiting high-end health clubs with nameless and faceless management and sought to make a change by creating the perfect place where fitness becomes a lifestyle. And so, La Jolla Sports Club offers premium services, amenities, classes and trainers under one roof to help deliver you results. We believe that strong, local business is the cornerstone to a healthy economy and are excited to be living in this great town and adding value to our community. Our goal is to “walk the talk” for years to come and take La Jolla into the next generation of success. Our club is located at the corner of Fay and Silverado so please come introduce yourselves and let us help you achieve your goals – we look forward to growing with you.

trends & events Bonnie Dumanis - Women Leadership Speaker Series

La Jolla Woman’s Club & La Jolla Woman’s Club Foundation are proud to host “The Women in Leadership Speaker Series”. The second speaker in this three part series begins, Wednesday June 3rd from 5:30-7:30 PM with San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis. She will speak to the audience about her path to becoming a local leader, specific challenges she faced, and triumphs she experienced in her unique journey. The LJWC and the LJWC Foundation are committed to serving women of our community by inspiring them to strive for their very best. It is our aim and objective to reach out to the community to provide insightful ways for women to attain their highest potential. We had a wonderful attendance for the first Women in Leadership speaker series with SD City Council President Sherri Lightner. We hope you will join us as we learn from the experiences of amazing women leaders. This is a complimentary event open to men and women and will be held at the clubhouse, 7791 Draper Avenue La Jolla. Light appetizers and a cash bar. Please RSVP to julia.fagin@fnf.com or 848-454-2354. This event is part of a broader effort by the LJWC to expand its community offerings, especially those focused on important aspects of home, health, and career. While the Club has in the recent past been more of a social club, it began in 1894 as a group of forward thinking, politically active women including famed San Diego benefactor, Ms. Ellen Browning Scripps. To reestablish that core focus and address the concerns of the modern woman, we are reaching out to recruit new members and offer value to the community. We currently host monthly luncheons with speakers and entertainment centered on the arts, home, and career. Open to members of the community, we provide Silver Sage Yoga Wednesdays at 3:00PM with instructor Carolyn Boline. Upcoming events include baby massage classes for new moms with instructor Christine Perez of Posh Baby, Crafts & Cocktails (May 21st), and nutrition and health discussions to be led by directors of the La Jolla Wellness Center. We are happy to promote these events with new relationships and connections with local women entrepreneurs.

For membership, please contact Michelle Munoz-Talcott at michelle@zippymoon.com or 858-754-6516. For questions regarding any events or to rent our venue space, please contact Events Manager Auriel O’Neill at 858-454-2354 or auriel@lajollawomansclub.com.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Biotech exec gets life in prison for La Jolla shootings

former biotech executive who opened fire on two La Jolla homes, wounding two occupants in what prosecutors described as a revenge mission, was sentenced May 15 to two life terms, as well as a second term of 50 years to life in prison. The judge estimated Hans A. Petersen, 52, of UTC, will be about 80 years old by the time he is eligible for parole. He was convicted in March of two counts of premeditated attempted murder. San Diego Superior Court Judge Leo Valentine Jr. called the crimes “one of the most heinous acts you could perpetrate on a family” and said the penalties he imposed were in the interest of public safety, to prevent Petersen from being released and finishing “what he started.” Steven Dowdy, one of the victims, said fear of Petersen somehow getting out of custody and returning to finish the job continues to haunt his family. Dowdy, a UC San Diego cancer researcher, and Petersen were business partners until Petersen was fired in 2010. The two also used to be neighbors. Early on the morning of Sept. 18, 2013, Petersen went to Dowdy’s home and fired shots into his bedroom. Dowdy hurled picture frames at the shooter until Petersen retreated behind an outdoor staircase. Dowdy and his wife sought cover in the

hallway, where they found their daughter crawling toward them. Dowdy was shot once in his hip, a wound that continues to give him pain, he said in statements to the court. Petersen then went to the home of his then-estranged wife’s brother, Ronald Fletcher. He broke inside and shot Fletcher in the abdomen during a confrontation outside a bathroom. Fletcher continued to fight the gunman, knowing he had to protect his daughters from becoming Petersen’s next potential victims, he testified in earlier hearings. Petersen had been angry with Fletcher, who worked in real estate, for helping sell the property the former couple had owned. When it was Petersen’s turn to speak, he likened the violence to a nightmare in which he had no control over his actions, nor memories of what he’d done. He blamed the episode on the prescription drug clonazepan, saying it caused him to change his personality and made him black out when mixed with alcohol. Deputy District Attorney Amy Maund called his excuses “lies” and noted jurors did not believe the shootings were done unconsciously or were excusable acts. Petersen’s lawyer indicated he would be appealing the conviction. u — Kristina Davis, Special to La Jolla Light

Spotlight on Local

Spring into summer dining at Table 926 By Marti Gacioch “The Table 926 restaurant always changes with the seasons, and right now we’re serving fresh, simple salads of stone fruits (apricots, nectarines and peaches) paired with locally grown arugula, hazelnuts and topped with goat cheese and orange vinaigrette,” said chef/owner, Matt Richman.

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL

Cove restrooms need attention

n a letter to La Jolla Light, S. Starr shared images of the public restrooms at La Jolla Cove stating: “This is disgusting. On my daily walks to the Cove it is embarrassing to listen to tourists complain about this filth and smell. What can be done?” Well, plans for a new Cove restroom facility are underway. Feeling a similar sense of disgust, in January 2014, La Jollan Judy Adams Halter got to work with a committee to design a new restroom “pavilion” at the Cove. The architectural firm Safdie Rabines produced some designs and presented them during community forums for feedback, before handing them over to the city for construction. The city has earmarked $950,000 for the Cove restroom pavilion as part of its 2016 budget. However, a timeline has not been set for when the facility will be built. u — Ashley Mackin n Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators. E-mail the scenarios and attach a photo, or call us and we’ll investigate who or what is Tarnishing Our Jewel! Reach Editor Susan DeMaggio at (858) 875-5950 or e-mail editor@lajollalight.com

February 2013 Congressional Research Service report, “U.S. Military Casualty Statistics: Operation New Dawn, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom,” updates data relating to the post 9/11 conflicts, including the numbers of wounded. The report notes the following: n During the Iraq War, 4,475 U.S. service members were killed and 32,220 were wounded; in Afghanistan, 2,165 have been killed and 18,230 wounded through Feb. 5, 2013. n Among service members deployed in these conflicts, 103,792 were diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) over the period 2002 to December 2012. Over that same period, 253,330 service members were diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) of some kind. n As a result of battle injuries in the Iraq War, 991 service members received wounds that

required amputations; 797 lost major limbs, such as a leg. In Afghanistan, 724 have had to undergo amputations, with 696 losing a major limb.

And while we can’t begin to repay the debt we owe our veterans for their brave service, we can take steps to ease the physical, psychological and financial hardships they may be experiencing.

n open-air fertilizer and aromatherapy shop has been operating for some time now at La Jolla Cove. The business caters in particular to those who might be losing their sense of smell, and to those who wish to transport fertilizer home with their feet. All indications point to a long-lasting but strained relationship with La Jolla businesses and beach-goers. The business plan for the shop is to expand to La Jolla Shores and public beaches south of the Pinniped Pool. The Pinniped Pool receives daily advertisements on the U-T San Diego weather page as polluted waters to avoid. La Jolla Cove will soon enjoy this free advertisement. Environmentalists claim there is nowhere else along the coast where this business could thrive and praise La Jolla for its continued support. Pete Ward

The La Jolla Light has done a marvelous job with news about our little slice of heaven in recent times, but lately articles about dog poop, damaged sidewalks, the Cove stench, and the humorous-but-unlikely potential Great White shark attacks have worn out their welcome.

that are being left out in La Jolla and I wanted to say how often I have experienced this exact problem. I bike from my house to La Jolla High and every Monday morning as I’m biking to school, I’m forced off the sidewalk because of the trashcans lining the street. This happens on my way home as well. I think it’s great that you are raising awareness of this issue. It is not something of terrible importance, but making sure people know to bring their cans in before 6 p.m. will definitely make a difference in La Jolla. The town will look nicer, be easier to get around in, and be safer for everyone. Thank you for writing this article and keeping everyone informed over the years. u Eddie Parker

From Town Council, A3 Although police have been responsive to residents’ calls, Kerr Bache said BTNA member Cynthia Chasan has been “bounced around like a ping pong ball” between various city departments during the past year trying to get assistance. “Everybody’s well meaning, but it falls through the cracks,” she said. Although Chasan said the La Jolla Parks & Beaches group voted unanimously to ask the city to address the problem, she said the city brushed its recommendation aside, stating that the group is merely advisory in nature. “We are heading into the summer without resources at this beach to handle the crowds,” Chasan said, noting that presently there is only one level I lifeguard stationed at Marine Street Beach, who is not authorized to issue citations. The BTNA is requesting a level II lifeguard also be stationed at the foot of Sea Lane, where the police have lately issued numerous citations for public and underage drinking. Chasan noted that WindanSea Beach has two permanent level II lifeguards stationed there throughout the summer — and sometimes three. “We can’t get a ranger, because we’re not a park; the police are listening to us, but they have limited resources,” she said. When the ranger assigned to Children’s Pool Beach agreed to come down and help patrol Marine Street Beach last month — though it is not considered a city park nor within his jurisdiction — the tires of his vehicle were slit. “He said he’s not coming back,” Chasan added. “This is the type of people we’re dealing with down there.” In addition, Chasan said there is only one trashcan at the top of the each of three stairways leading to and from the beach. “If you had a business that was generating $9 million per year (in property taxes), would you treat it like this?” she said, adding that the beach team, or police officers dressed and equipped to patrol the beach on all-

Following the discussion, LJTC trustees voted to form a committee that will meet with BTNA members, lifeguards and police about the issue and report their progress during the June 11 LJTC meeting, 5 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center.

Championship Day: Youth baseball crowns three division winners By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball

La Jolla Youth Baseball Championship Day — the cherry on top of the season — took place May 16 at Cliffridge Park. The five teams in the Bronco division started their doubleelimination tournament last week with Baxter Foundation upsetting Rotary Club of La Jolla 3 to 1. Mitch’s Surf Shop rallied to beat Sector 9 with a 9 to 2 score. Baxter Foundation stayed in the winners bracket with a narrow win over top seed Science of Sport. Rotary Club came up short in extra innings as Sector 9’s strong offense secured their victory. Mitch’s Surf Shop earned a berth in the finals with a solid won over Baxter Foundation 15 to 1. Fighting through the losers bracket, Science of Sport came back strong with successive victories over Sector 9 and Baxter Foundation, led by excellent hitting including a grand slam by Jack Boynton, advancing them to the championship game. On Championship Saturday, Science of Sport needed two victories to claim the title and Mitch’s Surf Shop only needed one. Science of Sports’ stellar performance in the morning game led them to a 6 to 4 win over Mitch’s, forcing a second game. Key home runs by Nathan Latimer and Tyler Blackburn, along with fantastic pitching by Jake Bold, Conner Goldman, Luke Roberts, Latimer and Blackburn helped secure the win. The boys took a short break to enjoy the BBQ that was hosted by the league. The winner-take-all game started off with the same degree of competitiveness, as they were neckand-neck through the first few innings, highlighted by defensive web gems on both sides. Science of Sport pulled ahead 4 to 2 in the top of the fifth inning. In the bottom of the inning, Ryan Chow and Ryan Lancaster led the rally followed by Diego Solis’ clutch two-out triple putting Mitch’s Surf Shop ahead for good 5 to 4. Spence Carswell pitched two shutout innings with Jack Liebesman doing a great job behind the dish. Congratulations to Coach Bo

Syntergy, Mustang Champions, gather for a team photo with their trophies. Courtesy Solis and his Bronco Championship team. In the Mustang division championship, Team Syntergy squared-off against Retirement Benefits Group (RBG) in a contest of the top two teams from the regular season. Veteran PONY baseball manager Mike Campagna, whose team remained undefeated through the playoffs and into the finals, manages Syntergy. RBG, managed by Michael Solis, took and early loss and had to claw their way back through a tough losers bracket. The championship game started off with some firepower, with 10-year-old Binks Deatherage hitting a two-run homer in the first inning. The game remained close through the middle innings when RBG threatened again but, with runners on the bases and two outs, Jacob Campagna made a spectacular catch in center field to save a couple of runs. Syntergy turned on the offense and took a 6 to 3 lead. The final score was 8 to 5. Congratulations to Syntergy manager Campagna and Coach Tyler Lawton for a great Mustang season.

Some of the highest scoring games are played in the 7- to 8-year-old Pinto division. They saw an action packed playoffs that featured unassisted triple plays, extra innings and an exciting championship victory for the Palomar Insurance Holdings ‘Hippos.’ The first day of the playoffs featured a thrilling extra inning battle between Puesto and Red Door Interactive, and winning performances from Murfey Construction, Seamgen and Sudberry Properties. In the second round, Seamgen upset top seed Natural High and Palomar defeated Sudberry to join Murfey and Puesto in the semifinals. Palomar successfully knocked out Puesto with a 22 to 14 victory and Murfey held off a feisty Seamgen team with a 16 to 13 win. The finals produced a game that one only sees in the Pinto division with Palomar prevailing over Murfey Construction 20 to 19. Murfey was down five runs heading into the sixth inning but valiantly battled back to take a one-run lead before the bottom half of the inning. Palomar was able to squeak out two runs for the walk off victory. Palomar was managed by Brad Kates and coaches Mac Armstrong and Colton Sudberry. Manager Jim Sampson and coaches Mark Kjos and Mike Cairns led Murfey Construction. Congrats to the Pinto champion Palomar Hippos! The Pony division plays their 10-team SD Pony Interleague playoff tournament over Memorial Day Weekend at Tecolote. Their three teams all played their final home games of the regular season on Saturday with Seaside Fence defeating Morgan Stanley 4 to 3. Pharmatek won the afternoon game by forfeit and played a lively scrimmage with a mixed team of Pony players from the morning game. The league also congratulated 16 eighth-graders who played their last home game of Pony baseball at LJYB. On behalf of the league, their coaches presented each player with a commemorative “LJYB Class of 2015” sweatshirt to mark the milestone. Seven of the players completed 10 years on these fields. u n More details about La Jolla Youth Baseball at ljyb.org

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®

How to WRECK Your Retirement

by Overlooking the Possibility of Need for Long-Term Health Care LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faced by retirees.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room, that cost in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91 percent. When it comes to financial planning, determining how to pay for longterm care is often the last item families address, even though it may be one of the most important. Failure to plan for long-term care needs can be financially devastating. We are well aware that health care costs are a big concern for people going into retirement, but the costs of long-term care can still be an unexpected financial shock. Below are Annual Care Costs in San Diego for 2015: Home Health Care Annual Costs Homemaker services $51,366 Home Health Aide $51,480 Adult Day Health Care $20,519 Assisted Living Facility $42,000 Nursing Home Semi-Private Room $93,805 Private Room $127,750

Monthly Costs 5-year Growth in costs $4,200 2% $4,290 2% $1,709 0% $3,500 1% $7,817 $10,645

5% 7%

Options to Pay for Long-Term Health Care Costs • Deplete Your Savings — How long can your funds last considering costs above? • Use Your Retirement Income Sources — What about your spouse’s ongoing financial needs? • Sell Assets — Deplete your investments and retirement nest egg. • Borrow — If possible. • Ask Children to Provide Financial Help. • Reverse Mortgage — Getting more difficult to qualify. • Sell Your Home — Terrible decision to make. • Cash Value of Life Insurance — Depletes the death benefit. • Purchase Long-Term Health Care Insurance individual policies — problem of increasing rates. • Purchase Certificate of Deposit-Type Policy — which provides substantial LTC benefits, life insurance to heirs if LTC is not needed, and return of original deposit if requested. • Count on Medicare — Medicare only covers up to 100 days of rehabilitation following hospitalization. Then, nothing. A word to the wise is to factor the contingency of needing some form of LTC in your personal financial planning. Too many retirees and even financial planners do not give enough attention to the possibility. Americans are living longer — and many spend as many years in retirement as in their working years. But what would happen if you, your spouse or a family member needed long-term health care? Preparing for the potential need for LTC makes sense, especially if you can help protect your existing assets at the same time.

Bird Rock BMXers ride to victory By Shawn Richardson Dashiel Richardson, Drake Richardson, and Quinn Parker represented the Bird Rock BMXers team in British Columbia over Mother’s Day weekend at the Canadian/ USABMX National Race. The boys, parents and grandparents who made the long trip to Chilliwack, British Columbia (50 miles east of Vancouver) had their hands full against the top riders from Canada and the United States. At the Saturday races, the team had a slow start and a crash in the first turn. The day ended with Quinn winning fourth place and Drake winding up with a sixth place out of eight final riders in the 5-year-old novice class race. Sunday was a better day for the team, both 5-year-olds qualified for the main event, beating out more than 20 kids in the process. Determined not to get tangled up with the same Canadian team that gave them such a hard time the previous day, Quinn and Drake raced out of the gate and into the front at the start. During the nailbiting 50-second race around the big track, consisting of six-foot jumps and 12-foot corners, the two riders went from first place to third. In front of a few thousand screaming fans in very dramatic fashion, the boys raced around the last turn. Quinn went high into the turn and Drake went low, and as they raced down the last straight with less than a bike length separating them. They crossed the finish line with Drake in first and Quinn

in second place. A great win/win by both riders for all Bird Rock BMXers! Quinn and Drake have been lifelong friends. Quinn is a kindergartener at All Hallows Academy and Drake at Bird Rock Elementary. Both boys have been riding bikes without training wheels since age 2. Their parents, Shawn and Britta Richardson, and Joe and Felicia Parker, couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments. A side note, Drake’s brother, Dashiel, won the first place trophy on the same track in Canada as a 7-year-old Intermediate rider on the same day, on the same bicycle exactly two years earlier, also on Mother’s Day. The Bird Rock BMXers consist of a dozen boys and girls, ages 5-12, novice to expert class. The team is sponsored by California Bicycle (7462 La Jolla Blvd.) Bird Rock Coffee Roasters (5627 La Jolla Blvd.) BOX, Promax, Answer BMX, and MSR. For the past five years, they have been racing at BMX tracks across Southern California, Arizona and Colorado. BMX (bicycle moto cross) is an Olympic sport sanctioned and governed by America Bicycle Association (ABA) and BMX Canada. Riders compete on dirt tracks that begin at a starting gate and race over jumps and around turns to a finish line. Riders race in different classes, separated by age and proficiency. San Diego is home to three ABA BMX tracks: Kearny MesaBMX, Cactus Park BMX in Santee, and the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. u

To Have and To Hold

The Comfort Cub continues to console grieving mothers By Ashley Mackin ixteen years ago Marcella Johnson (nee Millot) experienced one of the toughest things a parent can endure — the death of a child. Since then, the La Jolla High School graduate has been helping other mothers in the same situation heal and cope. But Johnson’s efforts don’t include peer counseling or support groups, or sending flowers or cards, but simply making a teddy bear. She founded The Comfort Cub organization to distribute the bears. Although The Comfort Cub only received its 501(c)3 non-profit status on May 1, almost 7,000 Cubs have already been distributed over the last 16 years to hospitals and care centers to reach women experiencing See Comfort Cub, B4

Let Inga Tell You

In Memoriam: My dryer

La Jolla Cultural Partners

ast week, my 42-year-old dryer gave up the ghost, mid-load. Worse, I think I killed it. I ran a wet heavy blanket on the high cycle, something I’ve done on numerous occasions before. But under the strain, its aged heart, er, power relay, gave out and it tumbled its last. Services are pending. Seriously. Major grief going on here. Now, those who are not pathologically sentimental saps would think of this as an appliance. But this machine and I had become close, especially so during my single-mom era. I admit it’s a sad commentary when for 10 years, the most stable influence in your life was your dryer. A 42-year-old dryer is 250 years old in appliance years, so I knew this time was coming. Of course, I’ve been thinking that for 30 years now. Amazingly, it had only two repairs in its entire now-ex life: a new gasket around the door in ’87, a motor repair in ’96. While every other appliance in my adult life has precipitously crumped (generally at maliciously inopportune times), the dryer just kept chuntering along, year after year, decade after decade. I even considered having the dryer repaired, assuming one could even get parts for a 42-year-old dryer. The unsentimental

Olof rolled his eyes. He doesn’t call me the Grim Weeper for nothing. Over dinner, I explained to him my attachment to the machine, aside from the fact that it reliably worked. I can become attached to anything in my house that reliably works. But my whole adult life tumbled inside that machine: my ’70s bellbottoms, my ex-husband’s khakis, goobery bibs and tiny socks, kids’ play clothes, filthy tennis shoes, and later on, soccer goalie shirts, grass-stained baseball pants, basketball jerseys, crew uniforms, Olof’s Dockers, tons of towels and a mountain of bedding. Literally thousands of loads. How can you not form an attachment to something that has seen your underwear at its worst? The dryer was purchased when we bought this house in 1973 and we went for the all-the-rage new color: avocado green. None of those passé white appliances for us! Of course, we could have gone for the other hot new color, harvest gold, but we liked the way the avocado green matched the equally trendy green shag carpet that was already in the house. Over the years, people who have seen our avocado green dryer have ridiculed it with “Geesh, that color was hideous.”

News flash, millennials: people coveted this color in 1973. In 2030, those au courant stainless steel appliances will have people cringing. Believe it. Of course, ever decorating-forward, we also purchased the dryer’s chromatic counterpart, the avocado green washer. Alas, it succumbed in early 1980s, widowing the dryer at the age of nine (75 in appliance years). An incident in 1983 almost did the dryer in. My first husband and I had separated days earlier and there was no happiness in my life at the time. My older son, Rory, recently 6, ever a barometer for emotional distress in the household, decided to shift the focus. While playing with the hose on the patio, Rory suddenly noticed the dryer vent on the side of the house and decided, for reasons probably left best to him, stick the hose into it. A dryer full of water was, without saying, an eventuality not covered in my owner’s manual. I bailed it out but was still afraid to turn on the dryer on. I had visions of becoming the subject of one of those consumer safety shows where they pan up to the charred remains of my house. (Cut to cemetery where a small, engraved urn surrounded by flowers reposes on a grassy hill.) A neighbor ascertained that the electrical parts of the machine were not wet and recommended running the dryer for several hours to let it dry. Which I did — standing over it with a fire extinguisher. Despite the dryer’s brief masquerade as a washer, it valiantly tumbled on. While my 30-something sons have often offered to buy me a new one, I couldn’t see replacing a perfectly working dryer. They saw ugly. I

R.I.P. Inga’s dryer (1973-2015) saw family. Before they took my avocado green friend away, I hugged it. Well, as much as you can hug something that is 27 wide by 29 deep. I even suggested to Olof that we have a party for it. “Inga,” he kept saying, “it’s a dryer.” He suggested moving it out to the patio as a retro serving area if I truly couldn’t bear to part with it. So the new dryer is here. We’re still bonding. And I’m still grieving. If only I hadn’t set the dryer too high. If only I’d put the blanket through an extra spin cycle.

From Comfort Cub, B1 the emotional pain, but also the lesser-known physical pain, that comes from losing a child. “When I was six months pregnant with my fourth child, I found out (the fetus) had Osteogenesis Imperfecta type II, which prevented the bones in his ribcage from growing at the normal rate, so his heart and lungs were being crushed. We were told he could die any day,” Johnson told La Jolla Light. “Doctors said if I were lucky enough to make it to term, he would likely die during the birth process. The bestcase scenario was that he would be born alive and die shortly thereafter. So every day from then on, the only way I knew he was alive was to feel for kicks.” Against the odds, her baby, named George, was born alive, and lived just long enough for Johnson to look at him and say she loved him. “Then he died in my arms,” she said. Immediately following George’s death, “I experienced emotional pain, obviously, but what surprised me is that I had strange physical symptoms; my arms ached. I thought at first I bore down too much when giving birth, but I knew that wasn’t it.” One day, when Johnson was visiting George’s gravesite with her father, he handed her a terra cotta pot with flowers in it. “When I held that pot, at that weight and size, my arms immediately stopped aching,” she said. Johnson, now an Encinitas resident, began doing research on possible physical sensations that come with grief. “I read about mothers who experienced aching arms and chest pains, and to fix that, one woman carried around bags of flour or carried produce the size and weight of a baby; another woman wrapped a blanket around a pineapple,” she said. “It sounds cuckoo, but unless you’ve been in the shoes of someone who’s lost a child — you are so broken and in so much pain and your body is calling out to hold something — you wouldn’t understand. I completely understood why these women did that.”

La Jolla High School graduates Marcella Johnson (nee Millot) and Susan Heck (nee Choisser) with their weighted teddy bears, called Comfort Cubs. Ashley Mackin To offer women who’ve experienced that loss something more dignified, Johnson partnered with best friend and fellow La Jolla High School graduate Susan Heck (nee Choisser) to establish The Comfort Cub, producing teddy bears that weigh five or six pounds. “I thought it wouldn’t be unusual for a woman to have a teddy bear — you win them at the fair, you get them on Valentine’s Day — but these could be something she could carry when she’s alone to give her a sense of calm,” Johnson said.

And because everyone grieves differently, recipients could also “throw it on the ground and stomp on it because they are so angry,” she said. Using the money she and her husband, Matt, had set aside for baby George’s clothes and diapers, Johnson started hand-making teddy bears weighted with split peas and taking them to the San Diego Hospice’s Perinatal Program, which assists families that face an impending infant birthand-death, but who decide they want to continue the pregnancy. The hospice program gives the bears to hospitals for mothers who go through their program. “Our hope was that no woman who lost a child in San Diego would ever leave the hospital empty handed,” Heck said. From there, Heck and Johnson gave the bears to Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns, and Rady Children’s Hospital. In addition to mothers who had lost an infant, the bears were given to mothers with children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Johnson said. “Their babies aren’t going to die, but they are still leaving the hospital after giving birth with empty arms.” Heck shared the story of an appreciative bear recipient from many years ago who just got married. “She said the bear she received after she lost her son was placed at the altar at her wedding so her son could be represented,” she said. Johnson said she met a woman who wanted to give a Comfort Cub to a friend whose 21-year-old son had died in an accident. When Johnson explained they were designed for mothers of newborns, the woman replied, “No matter how old a child is, they are always their mothers’ babies.” With a growing pool of women wanting a Comfort Cub, funds ran out for providing the bears for free. Now they are available to purchase for $49.95. “With every purchase, a large portion of the proceeds go to making more of them and sending one to someone who cannot afford a bear,” Johnson said. n To make a donation or to purchase a Comfort Cub, visit thecomfortcub.com

The Intelligent Alternative to Liposuction with Equally Dramatic Results At La Jolla Wellness Studio we use i-LipoXcell, which is the most advanced nonsurgical, no needle, no pain, no downtime fat reduction and body shaping system on the market today. i-LipoXcell features a patented technology for instant body fat analysis and measurement, as well as laser diodes, radio-frequency and vacuum massage. The use of laser is responsible for releasing fatty acids and glycerol, causing fat cells to become smaller in size before ultimately be purged from the system. Furthermore, the application of radiofrequency triggers the metabolic activity and contributes to the firming of sagging skin so as to give it a tighter texture and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Finally, laser vacuum massage takes over in order to deliver ameliorated blood circulation, greater lymphatic drainage and deeper penetration into fat cells.

• Fat reduction • Eliminate Cellulite • Body contouring • FDA approved safe and effective • No needles, no pain, no downtime • Immediate results

A lot of women have trouble with unwanted fat, mostly on the abdomen and thighs. Exercise seems to make them tighten everywhere else but their target/problem area. They are not necessarily interested in surgery, but would like to get rid of unwanted fat. By only emptying the cell contents rather than destroying the cell to release stored contents the ability for future storage in that area remains. In procedures where fat cells are surgically removed or destroyed, any future fat storage (from mismanaged diet and exercise lifestyle) will have to be distributed for storage in other anatomical locations, which would include around the internal organs and within the visceral cavity, one of the contributory factors to developing type II diabetes. Low-level laser therapy leaves the cells intact, eliminating this risk. At La Jolla Wellness Studio we have patented a 30-minute workout called the MyoMetrix™ Workout that utilizes high-technology fitness equipment and delivers the equivalent of 100 minutes of weight-training for muscle tone and strength, 60 minutes of aerobic exercise for cardio conditioning and 20 minutes of stretching for limberness and flexibility ALL IN 30 MINUTES. Too good to be true? The fact is that it is not. After each i-Lipo treatment a personal trainer will take you through the workout. The trainers were voted “best personal trainers” two years in a row and the studio was voted “best fitness boutique” by La Jolla residents. We have been featured on television, in news programs and various magazine publications.

‘Come from Away’

Musical celebrates an international sleep-over spurred by 9/11 By Diana Saenger n the spirit of theatrical productions based on true-life events, La Jolla Playhouse is staging “Come from Away,” a rock-infused musical, directed by its artistic director Christopher Ashley. Recognizing good material when they see it, the Canadian husband-and-wife writing team of Irene Sankoff and David Hein (book, music, lyrics) tell the tale of what happened in the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland in 2001. In describing the genesis of the play, Hein said, “The 10-year anniversary of 9/11 was coming up, and (through research) we discovered that during the crisis, numerous passengers and pilots from 38 planes were forced to land in Newfoundland. They gathered with the people who lived in Gander, made friends and stayed for a while. The experience changed lives, and in 2011 people returned to Newfoundland to commemorate what had happened and to reconnect with the people they had met!” Funded by a grant, Hein and Sankoff traveled to Gander for a month in 2011 to meet hundreds of people willing to share their experiences. “The town was full with press who only wanted five-second soundbites,” Hein said. “We wanted to hear their entire stories. We came back with a lot of great tales and new friends from all over the world.”

Irene Sankoff and David Hein wrote the musical ‘Come from Away,’ which will have its world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse, May 29-July 5. Alixandra Gould

The couple then held up in a cabin to study their research and hundreds of hours of interviews to begin the book, lyrics and music for “Come from Away.” “Irene and I write everything together,” Hein said. “We started working together when Irene was an actress and I was a singer-songwriter. I grew up with a love of music and listening to East Coast Celtic music. We have a variety of instruments — a Bodhran, accordions, fiddles, guitars — in our house, but at heart we are guitar-based musicians. Being married and doing everything together, we can work 24/7, but

initially, we were working so much that we barely saw each other. To spend time together, we developed our first show, ‘My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding.’ It took off, and now writing music and lyrics is our day job.” The couple’s goal for “Come from Away” is to introduce audiences to the world of Newfoundlanders. “The musical is based on inviting neighbors, family and friends into one’s house and gathering at the kitchen where everyone pulls out an instrument,” Hein said. “People dance and sing, and it’s fun

and accessible. The kind of music we’ve written has been out there for generations in England and Ireland, yet somehow when you put it in a musical theater context, it’s fresh, new and interesting.” Sankoff added that because the music is fun and inviting, “we knew this story could be a musical.” Hein pointed out that there are hundreds of characters in the show “like many we met in Newfoundland. Our 12-person cast turns on a dime to go from local to around the world — England, Texas, California or Africa.” The element of wanting to unite different nationalities in the play mirrors efforts occurring in the world. “We were truly inspired by all the stories we heard,” Hein said. “We laughed with them, we cried with them, we hope to pass on the same feelings we experienced to bring Newfoundland, on the northeast coast of North America, to San Diego.” Sankoff added that she hopes audience members sing some of the songs and are moved by the story because “a lot of people have not heard about this event.” u n IF YOU GO: “Come from Away” runs matinees, evenings May 29-July 5 at La Jolla Playhouse’s Potiker Theatre, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive on the UC San Diego campus.

Major Paul Petkoff (John Conrad Schuck) and Catherine Petkoff (Marsha Mason) ponder their daughter Raina’s (Wrenn Schmidt) romance. Jim Cox

Let’s talk about something retirement communities hardly ever mention. Accreditation. Because having the confidence and peace of mind of accreditation is important. So, let’s talk. La Vida Del Mar is accredited by CARF International. It’s an independent organization that sets exceedingly high standards for care and service. It’s a lot like an accreditation for a hospital or college. Or a five-star rating for a hotel. But like most things in life, you have to see it to believe it. So, let’s talk some more at a complimentary lunch and tour. Please call 858.217.5255 to schedule.

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Battle for true love wins ‘Arms and the Man’ audiences

ove and war might be an unusual pairing for a comedy, but anyone who sees George Bernard Shaw’s “Arms and the Man” at The Old Globe Theatre will leave thinking the opposite. The story takes place during the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian War. Catherine Petkoff (Marsha Mason) and her daughter Raina (Wrenn Schmidt) are holding down the homefront while Raina’s father, Major Paul Petkoff (John Conrad Schuck), and her fiancé, Major Sergius Saranoff (Enver Gjokaj), are in the midst of battle. As Raina prepares for bed one evening, loud gunfire is heard outside her room, as the troops are close by. Suddenly her terrace doors explode open and Swiss Captain Bluntschli barges in seeking refuge. Raina, only somewhat surprised, converses with Bluntschli while wearing a large fur robe — only one of David Israel Reynoso’s amazing costumes for this play. After a few short conversations between Raina and the enemy soldier, she’s willing to hide him when rivals come looking for him. What really wins her heart is that Bluntschli prefers to carry chocolates, rather than ammo, in his side pouch. She begins to call him her “Chocolate-cream soldier.” When mother Catherine discovers Raina is hiding the Captain, she too, bonds with him — especially since she is not fond of her daughter’s pompous fiancé Sergius. As the war ends, a different battleground begins at the Petkoff’s beautiful home. Sergius returns and professes his love for Raina, but pays more attention to her attendant Louka (Sofiya Akilova). This becomes evident to Louka’s fiancé, Nicola (Greg Hildreth), who landmines the calm. When Bluntschli shows up to sign war documents, emotions swirl on a merry-go-

round of distrust, panic and bedlam. Shaw’s romantic comedy — his first commercial success — has been expertly rendered by the Globe’s production. Casting is superb. Mason excels in expressing every one of Catherine’s motives — whether making sure Raina finds the right partner or keeping her husband in control. Schmidt is a standout as Raina from scene one. She’s sweet, pretty, has the voice of an angel and knows which man really respects women. Gjokaj as the footstomping, jumping, proposing-on-his knee Sergius, impeccably delivers many laughs. Although Akilova and Hildreth’s time onstage is short, they fit solidly into the plot. A large part of the enjoyment is due to Reynoso’s costumes, the stunning scenic design by Ralph Funicello and lighting by Austin R. Smith. The show has two short intermissions for the set changes. Raina’s bedroom is beautiful down to the smallest detail. The audience expressed delight when the curtain opened on the second set of the Petkoff home courtyard, which included the village musician (Ernest Sauceda), who not only played there but strolled the aisles of the theater as well. Playgoers were surprised again when the third set appeared with Raina perched on a gorgeous round settee. The entire room was lovely, from the tall walls to the marble fireplace. Thanks to superb direction by Jessica Stone, “Arms and the Man” should be at the top of your “don’t miss” list. u n IF YOU GO: “Arms and the Man” runs through June 14 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $29 at (619) 234-5623 and theoldglobe.org

La Jolla fourth grader raises $1,015 for bonobo apes By Ashley Mackin Inspired by an Earth Day project at school, All Hallows Academy fourth grader and La Jolla resident Alex Goldman raised more than $1,000 to help four orphaned bonobo apes in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The focus of the project had to be on an environmental issue or an endangered animal. With an estimated 20,000-50,000 left on the planet, Alex decided to focus on the endangered, and often hunted, bonobo. “I wanted to teach my classmates about bonobo apes because my mom’s friends (La Jolla residents) Marjaneh Miller and Ashley Stone traveled to the Congo to help take care of orphaned baby bonobos. They told me a lot about them, and I was really interested,” he said. “There is a lot we can learn from

bonobos, because they are nonviolent,” he said. “There is a lot of (violent) stuff going on today, the bonobos are super peaceful and they solve problems with hugs and (physical) contact.” Bonobos are known for being social creatures, often cohabitating comfortably with humans. He said because adult bonobos are hunted for their meat, the babies are often orphaned. Alex set up a GoFundMe account so people could donate to their care, with all funds going to Lola Ya Bonobo, an organization that rescues, rehabilitates and releases orphaned bonobos into the wild. Alex said it costs $240 to “adopt” an orphaned bonobo and pay for its care and protection from hunters for one year. With the $1,015 raised through the GoFundMe page, he said four

orphaned bonobos have been adopted. Alex also has worked with the Bonobo Project, which emphasizes public outreach and education about bonobos. “I feel like I’m making a difference,” he said of his project. “I’m just one person, but my friends and cousins donated, so now they know about it. My friends in my class know about it now too, so they are spreading the world to their friends.” Although the Earth Day project is complete, Alex still wants to raise money for the apes he has come to appreciate so much by keeping the GoFundMe account open. He has also considered hosting a lemonade stand to collect donations. n You can visit Alex’s “Save the bonobo apes” page and make a donation at gofundme.com/rstpfk

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Page B12 - MAY 21, 2015 - LA JOLLA LIGHT

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

St. James church members provide earthquake relief in Nepal

hen the 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on April 25, parishioners at St. James By-the-Sea Episcopal Church sprang into action. Twelve hours after tragedy struck, a member of the congregation with personal ties to the region, Gary Poon, received an anxiously awaited voicemail from his contact in Kathmandu. Dorje Wangchuk Lama reported that his relatives and friends were unharmed but faced daunting challenges. Forced to sleep outside for fear that damaged buildings would fall during repeated aftershocks, the victims huddled under makeshift tents unable to protect themselves from the rain. Food and potable water were scarce, as well as medicine, face masks and cooking fuel. Panic and chaos had ensued. “People were afraid of what might happen next,” said Poon. “Conditions were becoming unsanitary and international relief efforts were not reaching Dorje’s neighborhood or any of the villages.” Upon learning about the devastation, the Women of St. James quickly liquidated $4,390 in discretionary proceeds from their popular White Elephant Sale. The money was wired to Dorje to provide vital supplies for his neighborhood and two villages outside Kathmandu. “There was real urgency because after the earthquake in Haiti, the death toll went from 50,000 to 200,000 in the first week, so we knew it was critical to move fast,” said Lisa Corbin, volunteer coordinator for the Women of St. James. “Despite the fact that electricity, phone services and Internet access were spotty, we managed to get the money through and provide immediate relief to these victims.” Not content to stop there, St. James then began soliciting earthquake relief funds to be sent through the church’s Episcopal Relief & Development organization. Donations, which now total almost $4,000, can be made via the church website at sjbts.org u

Animal-lovers gather to support PAWS

ynn and Michael Bruser hosted about 50 friends, neighbors and acquaintances at their La Jolla Farms estate for brunch, May 3, to raise awareness and support for the Performing Animal Welfare Society, aka PAWS. The organization’s roots date back to 1984, when Ed Stewart, who co-founded PAWS with the late Pat Derby, decided someone needed to do something to make life better for the eclectic array of exotic animals working in the animal shows and movies that were popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. When their commercial value as performers waned, these animals often fell victim to neglect and abuse. Stewart and Derby started with a small sanctuary in northern California, later opening two larger facilities. Today, PAWS provides refuge for elephants, lions, bears, tigers and a black leopard, as well as emu and a herd of scimitar-horned oryx. The organization works for the protection of animals in captivity, as well as in the wild. u

Mind your Peas and Qs

very season is blessed with an agrarian rock star — fall’s bounty of gourds, winter’s hearty roots, summer’s fresh berries and watermelon, and spring’s green peas and shoots, bursting with sweet grassy flavors from the garden patch. As your body regenerates during springtime, peas will help nourish your cells and invigorate your spirit. n More than two peas in a pod: Peas have been cultivated for thousands of years filtering from ancient Greece and Rome to Europe, India and China, then eventually to the Americas, with Christopher Columbus one of the pioneer pea planters of the New World. A valuable staple in Europe, peas were dried and stored, then enjoyed in soups and stews during severe winter months when food supplies were sparse. While there are several varieties and variations of peas, for the purposes of the armchair gardener, the three main types of this legume include Garden (English, Green or Standard Peas), Snap Peas and Snow Peas. The Garden variety has an inedible pod with sweet, fully developed peas inside. The peas are shelled, discarding the tough, stringy pod. Both Snap and Snow Peas, on the other hand, have low fiber pods, making them tender and chewable. Snap Peas can be snapped and eaten raw or cooked along with the immature peas inside. Snow Peas are harvested with flat, soft pods before the peas inside develop. n Shoot the breeze: Delicate pea shoots snipped from immature plants, usually the Snow or Sugar Snap Pea varieties, have the sweet essence of the legume with decorative soft leaves and curly tendrils along with the odd bud or blossom to add flavor, crunchy texture and eye candy to various dishes. Dial up burgers, sandwiches, bruschetta, frittatas, pizzas, crab cakes, seafood or wilted green salads, and smoked salmon platters, in addition to refreshing whistle-whetters like peatinis, pea shooters and chilled soups.

Asian or farmers markets are likely to sell these darlings, but don’t wait until the end of the growing season as they turn bitter. It’s hard to believe that these fine shoots have only been enlivening spring tables for two decades, a relative newbie in the horticultural time line — rooted out in the early 1990s, and have since been much appreciated for their many culinary uses. When selecting shoots, look for fresh, firm, emerald green leaves that are not wilted or discolored. Wrap the dainty shoots in a paper towel, stored in a plastic bag, and use them within a couple of days. n Pea power: Fresh peas and their shoots are a rich store of phytonutrients, immune-boosting antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. These mighty legumes and tender tendrils are packed with protein and fiber, folic acid to rejuvenate and maintain the body’s cells, along with other B-complex vitamins to put the skids on stress, fatigue and throbbing migraines. The load of Vitamin C wards off infections, and scavenges for harmful free radicals; phytosterols lower cholesterol levels, Vitamin K ramps-up bone mass to foil osteoporosis, Vitamin A sharpens eyesight and maintains healthy skin, while a supply of vital minerals, including calcium, iron, copper and zinc gives an added boost of well-being. n Pod cast: Sugar Snap Peas, late bloomers, were not developed until 1979. Sugar Snap and Snow Peas have pod fibers that run in one direction, making them edible, not stringy and tough. Ninety-five percent of peas grown are sold canned, frozen or dried, while only 5 percent are fresh, so pick them now when they’re good and plenty. After harvest, peas should not be kept at room temperature, as half the sugar content will convert to starch within six hours. u — For additional pea recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Money fuels rift between mother, daughter in ‘Rich Girl’ By Diana Saenger eople struggling financially always think money is the answer to everything, but Victoria Stewart’s “Rich Girl,” offers a different take on the issue. Stewart’s story is a modern retelling of the Henry James’ 1881 novel “Washington Square,” which was developed into the stage and movie classic “The Heiress” (1949), starring Olivia de Havilland and Montgomery Clift. “Rich Girl” has similarities to both the novel and the film. “The film is more about a person who loses an elemental part of herself because of the way she is hurt by several people,” Stewart said. “But, I felt strongly that it’s really about somebody who is damaged, but survives. I think in James’ novel, she’s damaged irrevocably as well, but doesn’t do the revenge in the novel. She’s just a cold, sad person who may never love again. Living in the modern world offers way more options. My play is about choosing what you want to do and not letting people who might hurt you, change that.” “Rich Girl” hits upon several contemporary subjects that present themselves daily on social media sites or the news. “Eve (Meg Gibson) is a mother whose only personal friendship is with her assistant, and she pays her,” Stewart said. “She loves her daughter, Claudine, (Lauren Blumenfeld) and wants what’s best for her, but she wants her daughter to be more like

Lauren Blumenfeld as Claudine and Meg Gibson as Eve in the West Coast premiere of ‘Rich Girl.’

her, and questions whether Claudine will marry Henry (JD Taylor), whom she suspects is only in this for the money. Eve has worked very hard to get where she is at. That’s one thing I find interesting in mothers and daughters or fathers and sons, that question: Will they grow up to be like their parents? That dilemma escalates back and forth during this play and becomes a wedge between mother and daughter, forcing issues that have been buried for some time, along with new ones with Henry.” “Rich Girl” has played at several other theaters and Stewart still has ah-ha moments. “The first act is very funny, so to hear audiences react is great,” Stewart said. “In

the second act, things get very intense dramatically, so I listen for audience reactions there, too. What I really laughed at was during the first show, a coproduction between New Jersey and Cleveland, some of the audience members got so engaged they started yelling at the actors and giving them directions like do this, don’t do that. It was like an oldfashioned melodrama; very funny and really satisfying for me. “I have sympathy for all my characters and because we have such a strong cast, you put yourself in their shoes when you’re reading lines,” Stewart said. “I hope people walk out of the theater and have long

conversations about who is right. That will make me very happy.” Globe member James Vasquez directs “Rich Girl,” and has done extensive work at The Old Globe, including “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” since 2003, “The Rocky Horror Show,” “Jane Austen’s Emma — A Musical Romantic Comedy,” “Boeing-Boeing” and 2013 Shakespeare Festival’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” u n IF YOU GO: “Rich Girl” runs May 23-June 21 at The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

St. Germaine members fund grant to aid moms, kids at Rescue Mission

St. Germaine Children’s Charity president Wendy Neri, vice president of programs Besty Witt, vice president of publicity Nicole Hall-Brown, San Diego Rescue Mission’s Michael Johnson, St. Germaine vice president of philanthropy Coco Bancroft and Rescue Mission development manager Robin Colberg Teri Newlee Johnson. “Our Children’s Center offers assistance to help families achieve this goal. An example of why our Center exists is Robin’s story: Robin and her children (ages 1 and 2 1/2) are up at 5:30 a.m. They pack their bags and keep an eye on the clock while eating breakfast. They must leave the Rescue Mission by 7 a.m. “Unlike most children, Robin’s kids will spend the entire day in Balboa Park while Robin does her best to keep them safe and entertained. They’ll head back to the Rescue Mission at 5:30 p.m. for dinner and a safe place to sleep. If Robin had childcare, she could enroll in school knowing her children are safe and cared for. She could obtain a job allowing her to afford housing again.” According to Johnson, the vicious cycle of homelessness occurs everyday. The Center allows mothers to drop off their young children, giving them the time to take care of

their needs, including pursuing affordable housing, education and therapy, while their children are encouraged to play, learn and relax in a safe environment. “As our members listened to the stories Michael shared we really felt the importance of our donation, knowing it will hire an additional teacher and reduce the teacher to child ratio to 1 to 4,” said Neri. “We also gained a better understanding of the massive health impacts on children living in homelessness, which include more frequent respiratory infections, poor nutrition, lack of immunizations, delays in development, toxic stress, anxiety and emotional distress.” Johnson said homeless children often lack social interaction skills and many mothers don’t have parenting skills. The teachers are trained to help children in crisis and with special needs. They spend the first two weeks working on social interaction skills and the ongoing curriculum focuses on developing healthy social and emotional skills. The Center also offers healthy parenting and anger management programs for families. In 2014, the San Diego Rescue Mission cared for 691 children and 946 women providing safety from the streets and meals in their emergency overnight shelter. With the donation from St. Germaine and other funding, the San Diego Rescue Mission hopes to have the capacity to care for as many as 30 children at the Children’s Center. u

By Nicole Hall-Brown Anyone can become homeless. According to the San Diego County’s Regional Task Force on the Homeless, an estimated 8,742 people are homeless in San Diego County — living on the streets or in shelters. On any given day in San Diego, more than 1,000 homeless mothers and their children are struggling with life on the streets. On May 6, members of St. Germaine Children’s Charity gathered at a home in La Jolla to listen to an eye-opening, hour-long presentation on homelessness by San Diego Rescue Mission vice-president of development, Michael Johnson. Johnson shared information on the Rescue Mission’s yearlong recovery center and overnight shelter for women and children, and the Mission’s programs to help people off the streets, redirect their lives and find employment. St. Germaine members selected the San Diego Rescue Mission to be one of their 2015 Grant Recipients. Funds donated by St. Germaine will go to hire a teacher and purchase educational materials for the Mission’s new Children’s Center, which opened in September 2014 and will host a grand opening event, Saturday, June 20. “We are so honored to support the San Diego Rescue Mission’s Children’s Center,” said Wendy Neri, president, St. Germaine Children’s Charity. “We understand the high incidents of abuse that occur in homeless families. The care the Center provides is right in line with St. Germaine’s mission of preventing and stopping child abuse.” During Johnson’s presentation he shared stories of people who had come to the San Diego Rescue Mission in need of shelter. A Christian faith-based organization, the Mission provides housing, hunger relief, mental health counseling, emergency shelter for women and children, recuperative care unit, transitional housing for men and women working toward self sufficiency, work therapy, and a children’s center for kids, ages 2-5. “Our goal is to help people get back on their feet,” said

Visual Arts profs boldly strut their stuff in UCSD gallery show

C San Diego’s Visual Arts Department faculty presented “Artistic Research,” May 7-14 at the University Art Gallery (UAG) in the Mandeville Complex on campus. The opening night reception was a rousing, rambunctious affair that saw the UAG gallery filled with faculty, students and art admirers. In addition to the artwork, the audience was treated to two performance pieces. Professor Brett Stalbaum and three others led the performances by reading poetry

from Stalbaum and Ricardo Dominguez’s book about the Transborder Immigrant Tool, a cell phone application meant to help border crossers in desert areas find water and solace during their long and dangerous journeys. At first glance, the printed poetry looks like computer code. Following that, Professor Amy Alexander, clad in shimmering silver and blue and wearing a bright blue computer keyboard, performed a one-woman deejay dance show she called “CyberSpaceLand.”

As she danced, Alexander used her keyboard to direct music, visuals and text, which were projected on a concrete wall. Gallery-goers crowded around her in a circle and danced along, some waving flashlights to cheer her on. Inside the spacious white-walled gallery, faculty artwork was laid out clockwise. The center of the gallery was anchored by a large gray coffin, constructed by Kyong Park, which was filled with the wood remnants of a demolished house. In the back gallery video room, films by Babette Mangolte were shown; one featured a camera being dismantled. Sheldon Brown, who is also the director of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Imagination, stole the show with two amazing pieces. One was a four-foot-round starburst wooden wall sculpture carved out by a router directed by a computer program. The sculpture was beautiful from

both afar and close up, exhibiting intricate levels, depths and steps. Brown could make a fortune selling a series of these! Brown also had a computer game running on a large flatscreen TV that he created with Wes Hawkins and Erik Hill. Gamers used a handheld controller to capture alien entities, which were then exposed to different processes that caused them to evolve into new types of beings. Both the concept and the game visuals were devastatingly beautiful. Michael Trigilio showed a video of a nighttime camera walk around a lighted miniature neighborhood he built out of wood and cardboard, and a video of a performance piece called “Making Friends.” Next came a large, in-your-face color photograph taken by Brian Cross of some street revelers, one holding a rifle, at a carnival in Barranquilla, Columbia.

Fired up: la Jolla residents react to unsafe roadway hazards It’s no surprise that so many people visit the city of La Jolla. As the crown jewel of San Diego, thousands of tourists visit our city each year thanks in part to our white sand beaches, distinctive shops and restaurants

and festivals held year-round. Along with perpetual sun and glistening waters, it’s no wonder that so many people choose to vacation in our lovely city each year. The truth is that the veneer of La Jolla is a beautiful one; but scratch beneath the surface and what’s revealed may surprise more than just the locals. In a wave of recent complaints, La Jolla residents have gotten fired up about their city. Potholes, overgrown shrubbery, uneven sidewalks and red light running have gotten locals talking – if not concerned for their own well-being. More than just conversation, these are real issues the city must deal with – and hopefully address – in order to make La Jolla a safer, cleaner and

more enjoyable place. Check any of the local papers covering road repair or, dare I say, the La Jolla Cove, and it’s clear that the voices of La Jolla want to be heard. Do residents have a voice? Well, when it comes to traffic and pedestrian safety, the answer is yes. You can take action. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT LA JOLLA ROADWAY COMPLAINTS? While we empathize with residents over the future of the La Jolla Cove, our main concern lies in the safety of our city’s roads and pedestrian walkways – especially as it relates to what residents have called unsafe conditions. Potholes, disintegrating

roadways, uneven sidewalks and even red light running have run the gamut of complaints and each of these issues are concerning to us as car accident attorneys. The good news is that La Jolla residents can get in touch with city administrators to voice their concerns to prompt change. The bad news is that if voices are not heard, generally no change is implemented. If you’re a resident of La Jolla with knowledge of an unsafe roadway or pedestrian condition, here’s what you can do to bring the issue to light.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MAY 21, 2015 - Page B29

Amy Alexander engages in performance art.

Text art by Benjamin Bratton

From UCSD Art Gallery, B26 After that, a set of pencil sketches by Jordan Crandall titled, “Diagrams for Driver,” were exhibited, but I found it hard to put them into any context. Then came three large black-and-white photographs of trucks and wind generators from a Kansas wind and power project taken by Lisa Cartwright and Steven Rubin. The photographs, shot from a distance away, were eerie and powerful, suggesting an impending natural disaster, like a storm or a tornado. The back wall of the gallery was covered by a framed series of handprinted silver gelatin photographs of a world we never see, perhaps taken through a microscope. On a small shelf on the sidewall were three cell phones running a program of the Gun Geo marker website built by Stalbaum. With the program, concerned

parents can identify and mark sites for public scrutiny; places were unsecured firearms could lead to a disaster involving children and guns. Next to the phones was a large, faintlydrawn rendering of a beautiful young girl by Amy Adler. The drawing, “Phantom Instrument,” looked almost white-onwhite, and seemed to appear and disappear. A video by architect Teddy Cruz about U.S/Mexico border conflict followed. Cruz has done a great deal of work studying, designing and building housing and communities in the border region. “Deprofessionalizing Surgery,” by Benjamin Bratton, was composed solely of text describing a project where children were taught to perform surgery on a set of highly advanced computerized instruments. The instruments were, at great expense, hauled down to the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla

Sheldon Brown’s computer game where the kids pulled off the surgery on mockup models without a hitch. The implications of this demonstration for the future of medicine are profound. Rueben Ortiz had two, large, glossy “black paintings” on display. Under one, you could barely see an American flag; under the other, a Mexican flag. Ortiz also had a large bright orange painting/ sculpture made of foam and aluminum, of a protruding belly button called “Womb Envy.” People could not resist touching it, as if it were the real thing. u n Coming up: “8 // MFA Graduate Exhibition 2015,” with work by grad students Bill Basquin, Artemisa Clark, Heidi Kayser, Andreas Leonardsen, Dominic Miller, Joshua Jon Miller, Julian Rogers and Angela Washko. Opening reception, 5:30-8:30 p.m., Thursday, June 4 at University Art Gallery. uag.ucsd.edu
