By Pat Sherman While key storefronts on Girard Avenue remain vacant — including the former Burns Drugs and Cups bakery spaces and those at the new La Plaza La Jolla shopping center (where construction of interior spaces to be leased by at least three tenants is behind schedule) — other business have opened shop or relocated, assuring the commercial pulse is alive and well in the Village. n Piazza 1909, a new Italian restaurant from the husband and wife team of Roberta Ruffini-Ceresoli and Stefano Ceresoli, has opened at 7731 Fay Ave. in a 1909 beach cottage that formerly housed Aloha Sushi Lounge. The business opened last month for lunch service, though the owners plan to begin serving dinner in June, and open a back patio which seats about 60 for private parties and winetasting events by mid-summer.

Piazza 1909 co-owner Stafano Ceresoli serves up a pizza with mozzarella, tomato sauce, sausage and bell peppers. The Italian eatery has opened at 7731 Fay Ave., in one of La Jolla’s original beach cottages, named ‘The Brodiaea,’ built in 1909. Photos by Pat Sherman From Business Roundup, A1 they sold in 2008), before setting their sights on La Jolla, taking some down time in between to spend with their three teenage sons and travel to Italy. The restaurant specializes in Northern Italian cuisine, with a modern twist. Ruffini-Ceresoli said the cottage, originally named “The Brodiaea,” has retained much of its charm, including touches such as a brick fireplace they uncovered when a soda machine was moved. “It was a nice surprise,” she said. “In the winter, we plan to use it.” The couple moved to San Diego in 1996,

after several extended visits, during which they fell in love with the area. RuffiniCeresoli said that in the 20 years since they’ve been here, San Diegans’ knowledge of traditional Italian cooking has dramatically increased from the days when customers at their first restaurant asked for Americanized Italian hybrids such as Chicken Parmesan, fettuccine Alfredo and torpedo sandwiches. “If you ask for these things in Italy, nobody knows what these are.” Dishes at Piazza 1909 that embody the couple’s ethos of returning to simpler, traditional Italian cooking, with a spark of creativity, include their house-made linguini, gnocchi or ravioli, the latter stuffed

with ingredients such as portabella mushrooms or red beets and ricotta cheese. Other standouts include the Crudo and Rucola pizza topped with mozzarella, prosciutto di Parma, arugula and their house tomato sauce, made from Italian San Marzano tomatoes — considered by many chefs to be the best plum tomatoes in the world. The eatery’s take on Bruschetta (“Bruscaccia”) is made with their homemade focaccia bread and topped with roasted bell peppers and eggplant “Caponata,” a Sicilian spread also containing fresh onion, celery, tomatoes, capers and pine nuts. Ruffini-Ceresoli said she and her husband chose La Jolla for their newest culinary

When they found out the “cute little house” with copious outdoor patio seating was available, the restaurateurs jumped. Ruffini-Ceresoli said in the summer she hopes to take more advantage of the patio at Piazza (Italian for public square, market or gathering place) and screen vintage Italian films on the wall outside their business. piazza1909.com See Business Roundup, A4

A wedding, event and food photographer, Dickerson’s work can be seen at jdixx.com n Lesa Tomaiko has moved her fullservice hair and nail salon (formerly Sage Salon) from the site on Fay Avenue where La Jolla Music Society will develop its performing arts complex (“The Conrad”) to a new location in south La Jolla, at 675 Turquoise St., rechristening her business Turquoise Salon. A grand opening is planned for 1-4 p.m. Saturday, June 6. n A lifetime of fitness: Jeremy Manning has relocated his popular personal training business, La Jolla’s Finest Training, from Bishop’s Lane to a ground-floor space in the building at 565 Pearl St.

Manning, owner and head trainer, says many of his clients are in their 50s or older, have gone through the spectrum of fitness fads and walked through his door looking for the “magic answer.” His response and mantra is always the same: “training day is every day.” “It’s just consistency,” said Manning, who started his La Jolla fitness consulting and training business in 1997, after completing a tour as a U.S. Naval Helicopter Search and Rescue Swimmer. “As long as you apply the proper stimulus consistently, over time, you’re going to get there.” Manning says it is important for clients to have a specific goal, so he and his team of elite trainers can help open the door to achieve their goals. “Youth opens all the doors,” he said. “As life goes on, the doors start shutting. We’re not going to make you a superstar in the gym. We’re going to keep you out there, so you can do your sport (while avoiding injury). We’re in it for the long haul.” lajollatraining.com u

Group works to find ‘Shelter for Shauna’ n Initiative to help women in transition begins with homeless, La Jolla individual community that many can depend upon to brighten their day with a smile or an encouraging word.” Cecile Ward (of Mary’s English Kitchen), who co-founded Soul Wise Coaching with Harrison-Jack and Torrey Hills resident and motivational singer-songwriter, Hilary Michels Dunning, said she was sold on making Shauna the initiative’s first beneficiary after her 12-year-old daughter first encountered Shauna on the street. “She came home and said, ‘Oh, she’s so lovely mommy!’ — and was really sort of gushing. I was, in some ways, surprised … but that made me feel like we must do something.” Harrison-Jack, who befriended Shauna and brought the idea for the initiative to her Soul Wise colleagues, said though at times she has paid for Shauna to stay in a hotel — and knows others in La Jolla have done the same — Shauna most often spends nights outside or sleeping in a taco shop bathroom. “It’s tragic,” Harrison-Jack said. “Shauna’s a very beloved figure in La Jolla. … There are so many people who have come to know her over time and, obviously, known her limitations, but at the same time seen her strengths — she’s kind of a joining force for the community, because people interact with her. It’s kind of a cool civic lesson that

Soul Wise Coaching co-founders Cecile Ward, Kirsten Harrison-Jack and Hilary Michels Dunning are launching ‘Shelter for Shauna’ fundraising initiative and hope to create similar initiatives to help women facing extreme life challenges. Photos by Pat Sherman

By Pat Sherman Soul Wise Coaching, a workshop series formed to help women thrive while facing significant life transitions, has launched an initiative to help one familiar woman transition off the streets of La Jolla, and into stable housing. That initiative’s beneficiary — who has been homeless in La Jolla for more than eight years — is dealing with the added challenge of being intersex, and a decision last year to transition from her former identity as a man, Sean Smith, to a woman, Shauna Smith (read more about Shauna in her “13 questions” interview on page A8). Whether previously identifying as Sean, or adding daily doses of color to the Village as Shauna (good Samaritans and the Goodwill store on Girard Avenue keep her wigs and ensembles in constant rotation), the former basketball instructor’s tall, athletic frame may have at times intimidated some, La Jolla psychologist Kirsten Harrison-Jack said, although she believes many more admire Shauna’s positive outlook in the face of adversity. According to a crowdfunding page established for the initiative, “Shelter for Shauna,” Shauna repays individuals for their occasional alms by running errands and providing “a continual presence in the

An added challenge

Although Shauna identifies as a woman, she may not be welcome — or made to feel comfortable — at traditional shelters for women, Ward noted. “The whole Bruce Jenner situation has really been in the media, so people are a little more aware of what this means and perhaps the difficulty somebody like her would be facing,” Ward said. “It’s sad to think of somebody in a situation who can’t get themselves out of it because of something they’re going through that they can’t change.” The initiative’s website, gofundme.com/ shelterforshauna, states that Soul Wise is hoping to form “a financial bridge” for Shauna by raising money for a 90-day hotel room stay “while she gets things sorted out with the help of others to help establish a more permanent solution for her housing needs.” Their fundraising goal of $10,0000 takes into account the cost of housing Shauna for three months, plus “first and last

Shauna Smith shares her story and thoughts on things 13 QUESTIONS CONTINUED FROM A7

hauna Smith has been homeless in La Jolla for more than eight years, most of them as Sean Smith, her identity until about a year ago — the point at which she began wearing female clothing and identifying as Shauna, which she said makes her happy and keeps her stuttering and other mental distress under control. Shauna was born intersex — having both male and female genitalia — something she says she only recently began to understand and come to terms with. Originally from Northglenn, Colorado, Shauna moved to Las Vegas with the family acquaintances who raised her, graduating from Las Vegas High School in 1984, and later attending Christian Heritage College (today, San Diego Christian College of Santee). Sean enlisted in the Navy, later receiving an honorable discharge. Alongside her high school basketball coach, John Farrell, who relocated to San Diego and became head basketball coach at Torrey Pines High School, Sean went on to work as a substitute basketball coach at Torrey Pines High and physical education instructor at the Carmel Valley Boys and Girls Club. The 50-year-old Shauna said she knew back then the increasingly pronounced changes in Sean’s body would

make it too awkward to continue teaching, and used a small savings to take nine months off, regroup and find other employment — though Sean never found a full-time job, lost his apartment and ended up homeless.

What is your philosophy of life? Just be yourself.

What brought you to La Jolla? College. One day, my friend showed me La Jolla — the Rec Center and Prospect Street — and I fell in love with it.

What are your favorite comfort foods? Ruffles potato chips.

What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? My goodness — just people being more friendly … and more open to helping others. I would also add more things for kids to do — like a skateboard park. Who or what inspires you? My family inspires me. They raised me and they taught me to be who I am. … I don’t see them much … but I still think about the things they taught me when I was quite young, and that inspires me. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I’m a big sports fan, so at the top of my list is (ESPN sports commentator) Stephen A. Smith (“he’s a great role model”); Janet Jackson, Mel Gibson; (La Jolla dance instructor) Sandra Ponsaty; (retired pro basketball player) Shane Battier, Oprah

8110 El Paseo Grande 408

What would be your dream vacation? I love Hawaii. I’ve been there twice — once for high school and then once on vacation.

Shauna Smith (“yeah, I gotta put Oprah in there”), Christina Aguilera and President Obama. What are your five favorite movies? “The Color Purple,” “Monster’s Ball,” “The Ten Commandments,” “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” and anything James Bond … my father named me after Sean Connery. What is it that you most dislike? Hatred — people who hate. What is your most-prized possession? My college degree (in physical education, from Christian Heritage College). What do you do for fun? I love dancing. I’m not good at country, but anything (else).

What is the most difficult aspect of being homeless? When you see people walking by, not caring about you, knowing deep down inside that you worked hard your whole life and you wonder why you’re there. … I have no history of addition, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke or do drugs. I’m a California teacher. … I’ve got good friends who’ve taken care of me and they were always there for me, but there are days when I sit out there all day thinking, ‘Is this what I want to do with my life?’ ‘Why did I go to college?’ What would be an ideal situation for you? To find permanent housing or an apartment here in La Jolla or a room with grandparents, that’s ideal. I’m single, I’m 50 years old and to have that consistency is so important. … When I stay at the hotels, and I leave it’s like, back to being outside. … That’s just the worst feeling in the world. u — Pat Sherman

Committee forms to address ‘McMansion’ issue n And planners get an earful over cell towers By Pat Sherman Bird Rock residents Sharon Wampler and Dana Williams are continuing their fight to halt what they view as a proliferation of new and unwieldy residential development in their neighborhood, often referred to by opponents as “McMansions.” Following their presentations last year to the Bird Rock Community Council and Development Permit Review committee, Wampler and Williams addressed the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) during its May 7 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. A provision in San Diego’s Land Development Code exempts some developers seeking approval for home additions or remodels near the coast from

La Jolla Community Planning Association obtaining a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) — thus allowing them to bypass the accompanying discretionary review process, which includes presenting plans to the LJCPA and its subcommittees. Developers are often granted this “categorical exemption” from a CDP under the city’s existing “50 percent rule” and issued an over-the-counter (ministerial) permit — which requires no vetting by the community — as long as the new

“They realized if it was left unabated, it would just continue.” Another problem, Wampler said, is that the City of San Diego doesn’t count terraces, carports and garages when calculating floorarea ratios (FARs) — or the size of a structure relative to its lot, a calculation used to control density. Wampler and Williams asked the LJCPA to form a committee to help them suggest relevant revisions to the city’s Land Development Code. They are also suggesting the city: halt permits for home flippers and investors until codes are revised and there is oversight to manage such development; exclude investors and home flippers from utilizing the 50 percent rule; require larger setbacks from property lines; include garages and carports in FAR calculations; and ensure development is compatible with homes in the immediate area. Years ago, community members asked the city to incorporate the La Jolla Community Plan into the Land Development Code so that zoning for residential properties would be La Jolla-specific, Wampler noted, urging the LJCPA to again make such a request. LJCPA President Joe LaCava recommended trustees form a committee to work with Wampler and Williams to address the issue. To effect any change, LaCava said the committee must show the city’s Development Services Department that there is “a consensus in the community, or at least no opposition, to give them political cover to make the change — which some could perceive to reduce property values. “Some people will be very defensive about some of these ideas,” he cautioned. A motion passed by a vote of 14-0-2 to form the committee, which will: recommend changes in the city’s Land Development Code to revise the use of categorical exemption in single-family residential remodels and make code changes that address bulk and scale issues and make single-family residential remodels and new construction more closely aligned with the La Jolla Community Plan. LJCPA member Don Schmidt said a similar “10 percent” exemption for residential development between the coast and first street or roadway is problematic and should be addressed, while trustee Dolores Donovan suggested the group take on increasingly large development in La Jolla

development retains at least 50 percent of a home’s existing walls. Wampler and Williams say the Land Development Code needs to be revised to prevent what they consider abuse of the 50 percent rule by investors and “home flippers.” Although the original intent of the exemption was to help people complete home additions or renovations that wouldn’t substantially impact the coast, they say it is now being used to build entirely new structures that are more than three times the size of the previous homes. “Some developers are making a business out of this and really damaging the unique character of the neighborhoods,” Wampler said. Opponents of “mansionization” contend their problem is not with the size of a structure, but with the size of a structure relative to its lot and surrounding homes. “Instead of just slightly remodeling, essentially they use the 50 percent categorical exemption to level the property and build what Los Angeles has termed ‘McMansions,’ ” Williams said. “Something has got to be done.” Wampler said a handful of homes built recently in Bird Rock using the 50 percent rule fly in the face of the La Jolla Community Plan. First adopted in 1967 and last updated in 2004, it proposes goals and guidelines for development in La Jolla, including limits on a structure’s bulk and scale. However, when disputes arise, the city’s Land Development Code prevails. “(The La Jolla Community Plan) carries no weight because the city’s ultimate responsibility is just to enforce the code,” Wampler said. “There’s a misalignment between the existing regulations and the community plans of coastal communities, such as La Jolla, Point Loma and Pacific Beach.” In March, the Los Angeles City Council placed a two-year restriction on the size of new, single-family dwellings in 15 residential neighborhoods, and a temporary moratorium on all demolition and development permits in five neighborhoods that have a large number of older Craftsman houses and Spanish-style bungalows. “The Los Angeles City Council realized the problem really lies with the codes and the regulations … so they voted unanimously to (temporarily) cease builds to give them the time to review the ordinances and make the necessary code changes,” Wampler said.

Bird Rock residents are upset that large homes such as this one built recently on a narrow lot at 5706 Chelsea Ave. are often exempt from community review. Light File

Shores due to that community’s absence of established FARs — which LaCava said would be too much for the group to tackle and should each be addressed separately.

In other LJCPA News n Cell phone towers: Mt. Soledad area resident David Haney noted that the city is allowing cellular communications providers to install mini cell phone towers (Distributed Antenna Systems, or DAS) on light posts in residential neighborhoods without first seeking community input. A DAS was recently installed in front of his home, at the junction of Westknoll Drive and Calle Vaquero. “It appears the city has gone on a binge installing mini cell phone towers in residential neighborhoods, right next to homes,” he said, adding that he feels the installations will decrease property values. Although Haney maintained the California Public Utilities Commission requires the city to respond to complaints about cell tower installations, he said he received “the royal runaround” from City Hall. “The city will not answer any questions, except to say that it’s a Process 1 (over-thecounter) permit,” Haney said. “This means that they don’t have to get homeowner feedback, nor do they even tell you about it.” Questioned about the installation near Haney’s home in March, a spokesperson for San Diego’s Development Services Department told La Jolla Light that Crown Castle GT Company (which provides mobile phone coverage for Verizon, AT&T, and other wireless communications providers)

has an agreement with the city’s Real Estate Assets Department to install antennas on street lights throughout the city that are less than 24 inches tall and exempt from wireless communication facility permit regulations of the Land Development Code. “It appears the city has made a deal with Crown Castle and Verizon and they’re taking advantage of the lack of regulations — federal, state, county or city,” Haney said. “These mini-cell phone towers are banned in many places. Public comment is required in many places, and most places, such as Encinitas, have a reasonable setback contingency.” LaCava, who later confirmed he is registered with the city as a lobbyist representing Crown Castle GT Company (albeit for “a very specific purpose unrelated to DAS installations,” he told the Light) said San Diego was “actually a little slow to approve DAS technology. “They were actually the solution that a lot of neighborhoods were asking for in lieu of

the larger antennas that they found more offensive and thought were more potentially harmful,” he said. “It was a compromise to get good cell coverage in the neighborhoods.” LaCava said the city will continue to issue process 1 permits for DAS installations sans community input. n Cellular ordinance questioned: On a related note, LJCPA trustee David Little said he was among residents asked by the Development Services Department to provide feedback on a new cellular communications ordinance known as the Spectrum Act (aka the “Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012”). It states that, per federal law, wireless antennas can exceed La Jolla’s 30-foot height limit on coastal development, as well as established “setbacks and the whole works,” Little said, noting that several of its proposed amendments to the city’s Land Development Code troubled him, including a provision that cell

antennas be approved via Process I permits, “which means, among other things, that community groups and neighbors would never be notified — the antenna would just appear,” he said. “I served on several committees where concerned citizens … were able get an antenna (moved to) an alternate site or make other cosmetic changes,” Little said, via e-mail. “It appears carrier companies have gotten someone in the federal government to say they need not inform the community anymore and can do as they please. This is done under the inauspicious guise of ‘creating jobs,’ and I am told that indeed the (federal government) can override local zoning code.” LaCava, who chairs the San Diego Community Planners Committee (CPC) — the umbrella organization overseeing the city’s 42 planning groups, including the LJCPA — said the CPC was also asked to consider the code amendment. “It essentially says that if there’s an existing antenna, they can widen it up to about six feet under a Process 1 (no community review), extend it an additional 10 feet in height if it’s in the public right-ofway and an additional 20 feet if it’s on private property,” LaCava said. “That does mean that it overrides the coastal height limit.” n Tasende nixes restaurant plans: LaCava noted that, based on a deluge of public opposition, the owner of Tasende Gallery on Prospect Street is rescinding plans to add a restaurant to the second story of his building. u

Take a vacation from housecleaning with The Maids By Marti Gacioch As summer nears, there are better things to do than housecleaning, said The Maids manager Erik Tello. “Instead of cleaning, people would rather be going to the beach or spending time with visitors, taking vacations or recreational outings with their kids,” he said. Hiring The Maids is also the perfect solution for homeowners without time to clean before guests arrive. And if customers have been away on vacation, The Maids makes it possible for them to return to a sparkling clean home. “While everyone loves throwing summer parties and entertaining, few people want to spend a day or more doing after-party clean up,” Tello said. The Maids staff consists of uniformed, highly trained, licensed, bonded and insured house cleaners. They take two weeks of training in how to perform their specific cleaning process. “They learn how to clean left to right and top to bottom before a

environment,” Tello said. The Maids are available as a fourperson team for $159 per hour for housecleaning. Deep cleaning is also available at a higher rate. Each home’s size and original condition determines the price of the service. “The Maids grew by 5 percent this year; we’ve just added another four-person team of cleaners to our staff,” Tello said. The Maids is available throughout San Diego with the focus on La Jolla, University City, Scripps Ranch, Pacific Beach, Rancho Penasquitos and downtown San Diego. “People in La Jolla have better things to do than worry about when to clean and who’s going to be doing the cleaning … they should let the pros do it,” Tello insisted. u

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

Historical Society endorses art museum, music society plans Guest Commentary La Jolla Historical Society Executive Director Heath Fox submitted the following statement by its board of directors last week.

he La Jolla Historical Society Board of Directors has recently been presented the concept plans for the expansion of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the construction of the La Jolla Music Society’s Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, “The Conrad.” This statement reflects our favorable response to these proposals. From La Jolla’s early beginnings to the present day, theater and music have played eminent roles in the growth of the cultural community. At Anna Held’s Green Dragon Colony of the 1890s, the operatic singer and musician Max Heinrich serenaded at the front door. In the early 1900s, the Irving Gill-designed Wheeler Bailey House on Princess Street became a mecca for visiting musicians and thespians, including the great Shakespearean actress Ellen Terry. In 1916, the La Jolla Woman’s Club staged Shakespearean pageants. Later years witnessed the formation of organized theatrical and musical groups: the Musical Arts Society in 1941, the Summer Playhouse (later La Jolla Playhouse) in 1947, the Drury Lane Players in 1949 and the La Jolla Civic Symphony in 1954. Formed in the midcentury, these organizations became the foundations of La Jolla’s cultural life of the present day. The growth of the visual arts is significantly tied to La Jolla’s most prominent early citizen, Ellen Browning Scripps, whose home site at 700 Prospect St. now houses the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Scripps endowed and supported many artists, including A.R. Valentien who she commissioned to paint California wildflowers. The La Jolla Art Association was formed in 1919 with a membership that included plein air painters Alfred Mitchell, Charles Freis and Maurice Braun. The association held its first exhibits at the Woman’s Club and when a new La Jolla library was built in the 1920s, Scripps encouraged the inclusion of an art gallery. That building is now the renowned Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. After Scripps’ death in 1932, her home became the Art Center, which, renamed and enlarged several times, became the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. UC San Diego added to the visual arts, especially with the development of the Stuart Collection on campus. The proposals presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the La Jolla Music Society extend the rich tradition of arts and culture in La Jolla. Both of these proposals are in early design phases, there is much detailed planning and community review to be done, the city planners will have their say, but both have now published concepts that are extraordinarily elegant and impressive designs, sensitive to site and purpose.

Contemporary Art Museum

Architect Annabelle Selfdorf’s understated modernist design for the MCASD expansion integrates smoothly with the surrounding community in scale and form, with a reorientation of the building towards the Pacific Ocean. New gallery space, increased by a factor of four from the current configuration, will allow for increased programming based on the museum’s prestigious collection, an outcome

good for residents and cultural tourists alike. A museum expansion that directs philanthropic dollars toward capacity to serve, as these expanded gallery spaces will do, is a good investment for the cultural life of the community and the local economy. Retention of the Robert Venturi façade would compromise the unity of form created by the repositioning of the main entrance to align with the axis of Silverado Street and the flanking in-cut green spaces on either side, although the loss of such an iconic example of postmodernism is unfortunate and regrettable. Better visibility of Irving Gill’s original design for the façade of Ellen Scripp’s home is, however, an important consolation. The re-purposing of the existing parking lot as public space, with views of the sea, is a welcome change.

The Conrad

The La Jolla Music Society’s plans for The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, with a stunning new 500-seat concert hall and a 150seat cabaret, more than trumps the loss of Sherwood Auditorium seating. The LJMS plan is noteworthy for the acoustics designed by Yasuhisa Toyota and the “performing arts village” concept, inspired by community history and architecture, designed by Epstein Joslin Architects. The proposal for the LJMS village-inspired center is as equally sensitive to the community of La Jolla and the inspiration of San Diego as Selldorf’s modernist expansion is for MCASD. We applaud the Music Society’s decision to take advantage of existing parking facilities through contractual arrangements, a move that is both economically and environmentally efficient, and we encourage patrons to take advantage of

these convenient parking opportunities. Most importantly, a performing arts home for the Music Society located in La Jolla is a tremendous benefit for both local culture and for the community’s economy. Both of these projects support the public service mission of the respective organizations with expanded, thoughtful, purpose-built, stateof-the-art facilities. More gallery space for contemporary visual art at MCASD; more seating for the performing arts with better acoustics at The Conrad. In a few years, with both of these structures built and operating, a new chapter in history of art in La Jolla will be written, authored by the contemporary generation of La Jollans, and the thriving cultural life of the community will grow and strengthen exponentially. La Jolla can celebrate these buildings as a credit to the foresight of these organizations and the generosity of their patrons — as no doubt Anna Held and Ellen Browning Scripps would have. On behalf of the La Jolla Historical Society Board of Directors, we offer our support and congratulations to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the La Jolla Music Society. u

Why so many helicopters flying over The Jewel?

frustrated about the continual helicopter noise and I would like to request an investigation into this trend, as well. Gillian Ackland

There has been a significant increase in the frequency of helicopter flights over and around La Jolla in the last couple of years. Sometimes I feel as if I am living on a military base due to the frequent, low and noisy flights at all hours of the day and night. In addition, there has been an increase, particularly on weekends, of small, fixed-wing aircraft over the area. As a longtime resident, I know this has not always been the case. It seems that at one time, flights were usually off the coast or along the I-15 corridor rather than over La Jolla itself. With Mount Soledad at just over 800 feet high, the helicopters appear to be barely 1,000 feet off the ground. The San Diego government website (sandiego.gov/airports/ pdf/policehelifaq.pdf) admits to a low flight level: “Although most police air units fly much lower, ABLE (Air Borne Law Enforcement) usually flies missions at approximately 1,500 feet during the day and 2,000 feet after 11 p.m. to help alleviate helicopter noise.” I completely agree with the recent letter writer who is

Parks & Beaches group explores cleanups at Children’s Pool By Ashley Mackin Now that Children’s Pool beach (aka Casa Beach) is open to the public after a fivemonth harbor seal pupping season closure, members of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory group say they are irritated by the city’s lack of effort to ensure the beach is cleared of harbor seal waste. Members are considering taking cleanup matters into their own hands. At the May 18 meeting, LJP&B discussed options for cleaning the beach, fearing the City of San Diego will drag its feet when it comes to taking the cleaning action specified in the August 2014 California Coastal Commission (CCC) ruling. The ruling stated the beach would be closed to the public during the seals’ pupping season — Dec. 15-May 15 annually — and the city would monitor the closure’s efficacy for five years, at which point, the closure permit must be renewed. A condition that the city evaluate the cleanliness of the water and sand, and the feasibility of cleaning the water and sand within that five years, was also part of ruling. “If you go down to the beach today, it is filled with seal (waste) and it’s not attractive. It certainly doesn’t put La Jolla in a good light. The city waiting four years to come up with their (cleanliness) study is unacceptable,” member Ken Hunrichs opined. “We should be encouraging the city to complete its analysis today, not in four years.” Member Melinda Merryweather said of

the beach re-opening, “Now the city is inviting the children back on the beach ... inviting them to play in seal poop. Where is the sensibility? You don’t invite children to a beach filled with seal poop! Have the decency to clean it up for the children.” City representative Justin Garver said the city simply needs to have a beach cleaning plan in place by they time it applies for the next Coastal Commission permit in four-anda-half years, and no additional information is available on its progress developing this plan. Hoping to have a solution ready whenever the city announces its findings, LJPB board chair Dan Allen compiled a list of cleaning options — two of which were discussed — and members formed a committee to evaluate options and make a recommendation to be voted on at the next meeting. Option 1: Individual cleaning crews LJP&B discussed organizing a volunteer effort to clean the beach as individuals. Several members attested to the fact that volunteers have cleaned the beach in the past. However, the CCC only authorizes beach cleanups in areas that have held recorded, historical cleanups, such as La Jolla Shores, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. Hunrichs said the city does not have a record of Children’s Pool being cleaned and therefore it could not be cleaned in any formal capacity. “If any of us go down to the beach and there is seal poop where we want to sit, can

we move it?” Merryweather posed. “Then why don’t 50 of us go down there and do that?” To assist, Hunrichs said he had a mechanized rake to clean up seal waste that lets sand sift through. However, member Jane Reldan said the wrack (type of seaweed) found in the intertidal zone would have to be preserved due to its ecological value. She read a letter issued from a CCC staffer to city Park & Rec district manager Dan Daneri that addresses disturbance or removal of the beach wrack habitat at Children’s Pool. “Wrack is organic material such as kelp and sea-grass that is cast up on the beach by surf, tides and winds. Intertidal sand is a habitat for a variety of invertebrate such as amphipods, isopods and worms,” she read. “Beach wrack provides habitat for additional beach invertebrates such as flies, beetles, beachhoppers and their larvae. These species are important food sources for shore birds. As such, beach grooming can have significant repercussions to the natural ecology of sandy beaches and may result in individual and cumulative adverse effects to coastal processes.” Option 2: Open the sluiceways When the sea wall surrounding Children’s Pool was constructed in 1931, engineer Hiram Savage installed four sluiceway holes to assist in the removal of sand, according to “Until Kingdom Come: The Design and Construction of La Jolla’s Children’s Pool,” a report compiled by the San Diego

Historical Society. The sluiceways were built and blocked with gates (or grillages) to be opened so ocean water can flush the beach. During the final phase of construction, it was observed the pull caused by the sluiceways being open made it difficult for the pool to establish a sandbar. To remedy the problem, the city decided to close the four wooden grillages. The grillages have since been sealed with concrete. Nevertheless, LJP&B members have often expressed hope that the sluiceways could be opened once again. In 1998, the group wrote a letter to the city asking it to evaluate the opening, but any response could not be recalled or located. Reldan argued that should the gates be opened, the sandy beach component — and current haul out site for pregnant and nursing harbor seals — would be lost. “That was the point,” Merryweather countered. “It was meant to be a pool. You walked down the stairs and were immediately in knee-deep water. You could learn to swim in the ocean safely. The whole point of the sluiceways was to keep the sand out and the water in. “The idea that we have a wall with a cleaning system built into it that we have never used is outrageous to me. The idea that the city, which said it would take care of the area, has never opened those gates is appalling.” u n RELATED STORY: See Parks & Beaches Roundup, A26

Parks & Beaches Roundup By Ashley Mackin La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory group heard these community concerns and proposals at its May 18 meeting:

City response to request for action At its April 27 meeting, the LJP&B issued a letter to the city, giving it until May 30 to address the increased sea lion presence at La Jolla Cove, and problems regarding public access and safety therein. LJP&B chair Dan Allen reported the city received its letter, and planned to have a response by the May 30 deadline, but could not provide one in time for the May 18 meeting. A list of recommended actions was listed in the letter and included: n Some form of gate mechanism or other temporary barrier on the stairway leading to/from La Jolla Cove beach to prevent sea lions moving off the beach onto the stairs; n Regular cleanup of sea lion feces from the stairs, deck and walkway areas; n A city program of morning beach inspections and sand cleaning at the Cove.

Drug use at Marine Street Beach Cynthia Chasen, representing the Barber Tract Neighborhood Association, returned to the group to report continued and more severe drinking and drug use at Marine Street Beach. The morning of LJP&B’s meeting, she said a freshwater storm drainpipe large enough for a person or persons to fit was discovered on a Barber Tract beach near Marine Street, and that drug deals were taking place there. “I’ve lived here for 22 years and didn’t know that pipe was there,” she said. “We’ve been working with police and lifeguards … and they have photos of individuals identified by police as drug dealers going into that pipe.” Chasan said with the current Level I lifeguard stationed at Marine Street, lifeguards cannot leave their chairs to walk around, and also cannot see from their post all the small coves and the pipe where these exchanges are reportedly happening. Her husband, Jeff Chasan, added, “The drugs we’re talking about are not just pot. These kids are using heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, Molly (a form of synthetic ecstasy often mixed with drugs such as LSD or speed), etc. It’s not only La Jolla kids, but also other kids.” He reported there have been fights and other aggressive behaviors as a result of drug use. “We want these issues dealt with before they get out of hand,” Jeff Chasan said. Cynthia Chasan added that in an ideal world, a Level II lifeguard would be stationed there. “They would be more seasoned and could write citations,” she said.

Triathlon Challenge Challenged Athletes Foundation senior

From Town Council, A1 We want all residents and visitors to know about these organizations, support them and to enjoy what they have to offer.” The event will include live music, refreshments and a raffle, including prizes such as Warwick’s gift certificates, museum

director of special events Kristine Entwistle presented plans for this year’s Triathlon Challenge. The 1-mile swim starts and ends at La Jolla Cove, and 44-mile bike ride and 10-mile run start and end at Scripps Park. The fundraising event for Challenged Athletes Foundation — whose mission is to provide opportunities to people with physical challenges so they can pursue active lifestyles through competitive athletics — is scheduled for Oct. 18. For last year’s event, organizers had to rearrange the staging area to accommodate construction on the La Jolla Cove lifeguard tower, but with construction on the tower set to be complete in July, the only “new challenge” will be a potential sea lion presence on the stairs and beach. “Water entry and exit is a big part of the event,” Entwistle said. “So having the two stairways completely open is important.” Volunteers assist those with disabilities in getting up and down the stairs and into the water. Hopeful that a sea lion removal option will be found before the October event, LJP&B voted unanimously to support the event and its usage of the park and Cove.

Opening up Coast Walk LJP&B member Melinda Merryweather said she is exploring how to reinstate as many as four parking spaces near the overlook on Coast Walk, “with a place to turn around so the police and the fire department can get down there,” she said. Coast Walk, located off Torrey Pines Road northeast of Prospect Place, is a short street leading to the Coast Walk Trail and provides, Merryweather contends, “one of the most beautiful views you will ever see of La Jolla.” However, residents of Coast Walk seeking privacy had some boulders installed and some of the curbs painted red to discourage parking. The area is still open for public access. In 2012, LJP&B formed a committee to request a Coast Walk feasibility study be conducted that would include an assessment of the property lines, a geological study of the bluffs and a traffic study. Since then, the committee has had the study on its list of capital improvements for the city to fund, but the city has yet to do so. Not willing to wait any longer, Merryweather said she would move forward and determine the cost to have the study conducted and fund subsequent action to open up the parking area. Merryweather will present her findings at the next LJP&B meeting.

Next meeting La Jolla Parks & Beaches will meet 4 p.m. Monday, June 22 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org u

Two sides of one coin

High School student shares story of life with bipolar disorder By Ashley Mackin uring her last few months of middle school in 2011, La Jolla resident Ana Gimber had a lot on her mind. Chiefly, preparing to start high school at La Jolla High. She said she felt anxiety and some depression as her final year of eighth grade came to a close, but as soon as summer hit, she felt uplifted and energized once again. What she didn’t know was underneath the seemingly normal teenage behavior for that time of year, the early symptoms of bipolar disorder were starting to emerge. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Ana sat down with La Jolla Light to share her story of life with bipolar disorder. The common stages of bipolar disorder are mania (the “high”) and depression (the “low”) with hypomania (a lesser state of mania) and/or mixed state (feeling the high and low at the same time).

The high

get water and saw her light on at 2 in the morning. She was only getting a couple hours (of sleep a night) while doing a million things during the day, and she started talking so much.”

The low

When school started, Ana’s mania subsided and she fell into a deep depression. She also started to forget things — an additional symptom of bipolar disorder. “I wasn’t feeling like myself, but I told myself it was just coming down from the fun of summer,” she said. “I was out of focus with everything and I would forget things so often. I would lose things. I wouldn’t know where I was supposed to be picked up from school.” Ana described the depression as being in a fog, where everything seemed gray. Her mother said Ana seemed sedated. “There was a time she could not get a sentence out at a normal pace,” Pilar said. “Her processing speed went down and it was very hard for her to get through school that way. She’d never been like that and it was so different to see D’s and F’s on her report card.” Ana interjected, “That depressed

Ana’s mother, Pilar Gimber said, “I thought Ana was anxious because she was thinking about high school coming and wanting to keep her grades up. Then she snapped out of it

in the summer, and had a lot of plans with friends, so I thought it was just about end-of-the-school-year stresses. Because I was so relieved she seemed happy, I didn’t notice the subtle changes that were happening.” Some of the changes included being “bolder” than usual, saying unusual or odd things, and not sleeping at night, but having a surplus of energy during the day.(All of which are early symptoms of mania.) During the summer months, Pilar said, Ana would not feel the need for sleep, but still make plans to walk to Pacific Beach from their La Jolla home or skateboard to UTC to hang out with friends during the day. “I was all over the place and wanted to do everything. I thought I could do everything,” Ana said. “Every day from the minute I woke up until the sun went down I was busy.” She also took on odd jobs to pay for a trip to horseback riding camp that included dog walking, house sitting, painting addresses on curbs and babysitting. “I think that was the start of mania,” she said. Her mother added, “I didn’t know she wasn’t sleeping until one night I got up in the middle of the night to

Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder n Mania (the “high”): long periods of feeling overly happy or outgoing, extreme irritability, talking quickly, racing thoughts, being easily distracted, taking on new projects, overly restless, reduced need for sleep, having an unrealistic belief in one’s abilities, engaging in highrisk behaviors. n Depression (the “low”): long periods of sadness or hopelessness, loss of interest once enjoyed, feeling slowed down, difficulty concentrating or remembering, irritability, changes in sleeping or eating habits, suicidal thoughts. n International Bipolar Foundation: 8895 Towne Centre Drive, Suites 105-360, San Diego. (858) 764-2496 me even more because I wanted to have a good high school experience and get good grades and I gave it my all and still did the work.” Also during the low period, Ana would say things that didn’t make sense to her family. “At one point, she said she and our family dog knew each other and she was experimenting in giving him messages,” Pilar said. “She would say things like she was an angel and needed to save the world, or that she thought she was related to Napoleon Bonaparte.”

‘You have bipolar disorder.’

Pilar started to take notes on the odd things her daughter was saying and the unusual behavior she was exhibiting, and called a friend in the mental health field for advice. On the friend’s suggestion, the Gimbers took their daughter to see a psychologist, hoping for a diagnosis. When they got there and the doctor had a chance to speak with Ana, “The doctor knew within the first few moments what she was looking at,” Pilar said. When it came to breaking the news, Ana said the psychologist was direct and simply said, ‘you have bipolar disorder.’ “She didn’t even finish the sentence before I started crying,” Ana said. “I didn’t hear anything she said after that. I didn’t believe it, but deep down, I did believe it.” Although she was relieved to have a diagnosis and begin medication, the question arose whether to tell her friends. “I started by telling a really good friend,” she said. “We had a notebook we shared and would write notes to each other (while sitting next to each other in class), I went to write ‘I’m bipolar’ and I got to the ‘P’ and her face just dropped. She was frozen and couldn’t say anything. It changed our friendship really dramatically. “It’s so hard to tell people because you don’t know how they’re going to respond. It depends on what they know (about bipolar disorder), if they don’t know anything, they can get freaked out,” she said. This was coupled with having peers that often used the word “bipolar” as a slur. “Before my friends knew, they would talk about people being in a bad mood and say ‘she’s being so bipolar.’ If the weather changed during the day, people would say ‘the weather is being so bipolar,’ ” Ana said. “When people think of bipolar, they pick two adjectives, and that’s what that person is from then on. For example, they are angry and sweet, and that’s it,” she said.

“Most people picture someone angry and violent. It can be different (emotional highs and lows) for different people, but it’s still the same principle.”

Reaching out

Wanting to meet people who understood what she was going through, Ana got involved with the International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) — an organization that aims to improve understanding and treatment of bipolar disorder and erase stigma — and said the organization’s annual fundraising gala in 2014 was a turning point for her. “I pictured people that had bipolar as being hidden and doing their best to hide what they are going through,” she said. “Then I saw all these people that were so motivated. It was so different from what I expected.” While at the 2014 gala, Ana (unknowingly) was spotted by a boy she knew at school. The next day, the boy approached Ana while she was with friends and mentioned seeing her. Her friends immediately grew curious as to why Ana was at an event for bipolar disorder. “I told them my parents were really into it and wanted me to go,” she said. “It technically wasn’t a lie!” She later decided to be honest and tell her friends. “They were so good about it. I was really surprised, because I didn’t think that would happen,” she said. “It felt so good to get it off my chest though.” The key, in her experience, was having friends who were willing to learn about or understand bipolar disorder before jumping to judgment. “Take it seriously and realize how much courage it took for them to tell you,” she said. Pilar added, “It’s not all doom and gloom, she has so much to contribute. She is so creative and has incredible character and compassion for others, and unique talents she might not have had without this illness. There is a link between bright people and bipolar.” A smart and committed student, Ana plans to go to college when she graduates from high school, and received a scholarship to Whittier College. “Today I feel really happy and really proud to be in the place that I am. I could never have imagined this before, when my highs and lows were bad,” she aaid. “I feel stronger and I know myself more. I’m excited to keep going and excited for where I am now.” u

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus

Grand oratorio and beloved violin concerto will close season From LJS&C Reports

he La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will present the final concert of its 60th anniversary season, “The Nature of Things,” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 6 and 2 p.m. Sunday, June 7 at Mandeville Auditorium on UC San Diego campus. The program titled, “On the nature of utterance,” will feature Tchaikovsky’s “Violin Concerto” and Jonathan Dove’s “There Was a Child.” Choral Director David Chase will conduct the orchestra, chorus and guest artists violinist Annelle Gregory, soprano Priti Gandhi, tenor Edward Mout and San Diego North Coast Singers’ youth choir in a poetic and uplifting concert. Tchaikovsky’s great concerto from 1878 is one of the most difficult pieces ever written for violin. Dedicating it to the famous Russian violinist Leopold Auer, Tchaikovsky received a bad surprise when Auer refused to perform the concerto, calling it “unplayable.” The concerto, eventually premiered in 1881 by Adolph Brodsky in Vienna, went on to become one of the best-loved concertos in the repertory. Often evoking a fiery, exciting Russian spirit, the ending of the piece, with the violin soaring brilliantly above the hurtling orchestra, is one of the most exciting moments in any violin concerto. Soloist Gregory is the 2013 winner of the LJS&C Young Artists Competition. She is a laureate of the 2013 Stradivarius International Violin Competition and, in 2014, was concertmaster and a featured soloist for the CIM International Festival

Priti Gandhi, soprano Orchestra in Germany. She has performed with the San Diego Symphony as well. “There Was a Child,” by English composer Jonathan Dove in 2009, is a grand cantata in the spirit of Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams. It was composed as a tribute to a young man who died tragically, but rather than dwelling in darkness, Dove’s oratorio inspires and uplifts. Dove set text of several poets ranging from Langston Hughes to Emily Dickinson to Shakespeare that conjure up the different aspects of childhood – naughtiness, carefree playfulness, youthful adventure. The concluding text is Walt Whitman’s “There Was a Child Went Forth,” a radiant vision of a child absorbing everything around him and connecting with the whole world. A pre-concert lecture by Chase will take place an hour prior to concert times. Tickets $15-$29 at (858) 534-4637 or lajollasymphony.com u

Don’t Get Hooked Discover how to avoid scams aimed at seniors Paula’s mother-in-law couldn’t sleep as she worried about her grandson, Will. An official from Peru called to alert her that Will was responsible for an accident in which a toddler died. He was in jail and faced 10 years in confinement. If she provided money, that sentence might be reduced. She needed to act quickly and not involve anyone else; the woman followed all their instructions. She lost $65,000 of her retirement savings in a blink of an eye. Will hadn’t been anywhere near Peru. She had been snared by the Grandma Scam. Paula wishes she and her husband had alerted their elderly relative to this type of scam. The woman might have thought twice about following those orders. Thankfully, an alert bank manager stepped in while the woman was trying to get a loan to send even more money to the scammer. Paula is sharing her family’s story so that other older adults don’t suffer the same consequences. The District Attorney’s Office and the County Aging & Independence Services are partnering in a campaign to help seniors and others avoid being a victim of these ruthless con artists. “Don’t Get Hooked” is the title of a scam toolkit created for the campaign. The title and the graphic of a hook is a reminder that scammers often randomly “fish” for victims. They purchase information from other scammers, scan through Facebook postings, and just make random calls. County officials hope that if people are alert to the techniques used by scammers, they won’t take the bait. Instead, when receiving an unexpected call, visitor, email or letter that involves money, people are urged to Hang Up! Shut the Door! Delete It! Shred it! At the very least, seniors and others should seek advice from someone they trust before taking any action. As part of the campaign, public service announcements will air, featuring Paula and another scam victim, Father Michael, who lost $40,000 in a lottery scam. The videos and the “Don’t Get Hooked” toolkit are available online by visiting www.SafeSeniorsSanDiego.com. There is general information about elder abuse, plus you can click the “Don’t Get Hooked” link for more information just about scams and find the link for the toolkit. People who have already lost money from a scam should contact law enforcement or call Adult Protective Services at (800) 510-2020.

Some tips from the campaign: • Use Caller ID and voicemail. Don’t answer calls from“private” or “unknown” callers. • Always tell solicitors: “I never buy from or give to anyone who calls or visits me unannounced. Send me something in writing.” • Change your online password quarterly. Passwords should contain capital letters, numbers and symbols.

‘Wrenegades’ Ecological adventure takes flight in new production By Kris Eitland cologist Ed Leopold’s life spirals downward when he fails to get his beloved coastal cactus wren on the Endangered Species List. He later discovers the will of the tiny bird is stronger than his self-loathing. “’Wrenegades: An Ecological Adventure’ is inspired by the multitude of endangered species in San Diego and the conservationists trying to keep them from extinction,” said Katherine Harroff, artistic director of Circle Circle Dot Dot theater company. “Our hero is a birder, played by co-writer Michael Nieto. He’s an ecologist and works in that world, in restoration and as a botanist. We met with biologists who are fighting for this little creature to create this production.” The enchanting and endangered world of San Diego wildlife provides a dramatic backdrop for a journey that invites viewers of all ages. “You think of conservation in exotic foreign lands,” Nieto said, “and the rainforest, elephants, pandas, rhinos. They are all worthy of respect, but San Diego County has more endangered species than any other county in the continental United States. Biodiversity is San Diego’s big secret. We decided to tell the story of San Diego’s super rare and fragile biology, all hidden in plain sight.” Nieto calls “Wrenegade” an action-packed tale of survival and salvation for all the creatures who make San Diego their home: our feisty people and our unique wildlife. “The coastal cactus wren is in danger and is a survivor, against extreme odds,” Harroff said. “It can nest only in prickly pear or cholla cactus and it’s a terrible flyer.” The resident, non-migratory bird is trapped. Habitat loss, fragmentation and wild fire have made things worse. There are two worlds in “Wrenegades” — the human world with

construction of a new hospital and the delicate eco-systems. The animal world is the adventure. “Using puppetry, music and dance, we have animals tell the story,” said Harroff. “The gnat-catcher, another endangered bird, is the spiritual guide. It’s one of the first to stop the development. We use puppetry to help with scale. A heron carries a smaller bird to another location. Tiny fairy shrimp don’t read well on stage, so we have puppets in a vernal pool. Our wren hero travels, so we use shadow puppets to show that. She rides a whale.” “Wrenegades” is Circle’s final production as company in residence at La Jolla Playhouse. Shows run May 31-June 19

at the Shank Theatre at UC San Diego. Performers include: Harroff, Nieto, Veronica Burgess, Soroya Rowley, Alexandra Slade and Justin Tuazon-Martin. A teaching artist and performer, Harroff launched Circle Circle Dot Dot in 2011. She’s the queen of communitybased theater, and plays about space travel, mall Santas and homelessness. Fans of Nieto will recognize him from “No Place Like Home” and “Bearded.” Known for her potent yet understated craft, choreographer Anne Gehman provides key movement for the actors in “Wrenegade.” “We directed ‘The Warriors Duet’ together, and her choreography was amazing,” Harroff said. “Anne knows how to have actors communicate. There’s a scene in ‘Wren’ that involves a freeway, and she uses dance in that energized and scary moment. On top of that, we are singing an original score that plays throughout. We create a magical animal world with bird and coyote costumes by Kristin McReddie. Everyone plays multiple roles, except for Ed and the wren.” Harroff says “Wrenegade” is uplifting and filled with hope for survival. The good people who care make a difference. “Co-existence is our message,” Harroff said. “Let’s grow more conscious of the beauty in our world. Yes, hospitals and apartments must be built, but at what cost? How do we co-exist? We show the human and animal world — a man cares and a bird needs help.” n If you go: “Wrenegades: An Ecological Adventure” plays mornings, evenings and matinees May 31 to June 19 at Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre, UCSD campus.

5 Threats That Could Derail the housing Market In last month’s column, I discussed some of the expectations and predictions for the housing market in 2015. And much of that was good news. We appear to finally be safely out of the housing market crisis that has plagued the last seven years or so. And while

we hope that 2015 continues down that path of recovery, there are still several factors that could disrupt this progress. If you are thinking of becoming a buyer or seller this year, here are five things to watch for: 1. Fewer foreign buyers In the last several years, the presence of foreign buyers has helped the housing market in its resurgence. There are signs, however, that point to this trend slowing dramatically. One of these factors is the strength of the dollar. The stronger dollar makes U.S. housing more expensive to foreign investors, especially for those in Europe where many economies are struggling. Russian buyers are especially having a hard time as they face plummeting

oil prices, a weakening ruble, as well as international sanctions. According to the California Association of Realtors, the number of sales to international clients has dropped about 25%. 2. Investors cash out Along with foreign buyers, institutional investors also played a large role in the housing market’s recent recovery. They bought up thousands of properties and turned them into rentals. But because home price increases have slowed, the timing is looking right for these investors to cash out and see significant returns on their investments. According to RealtyTrac, for those institutional investors who purchased a home in 2012, they could see a 38%-43%

return if they sold now. This also means that far fewer institutional investors will be buying this year. 3. Difficulty in borrowing Although homeowners were ecstatic to learn that lenders like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had recently backed off on some of their strict lending standards, it doesn’t mean that getting a mortgage is necessarily going to be much easier. Most lending companies may still be nervous about the risk involved in many buyers. Column continued at www.lajollalight.com/news/2015/ feb/09/5-threats-that-could-derailthe-housing-market/

‘Growth in ultra-lux real estate sector stays strong’ —Coldwell

oldwell Banker Residential Brokerage released its Luxury Market Report showing that growth in the Southern California ultra-luxury real estate sector remains strong. Laguna Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Pacific Palisades and San Diego all ranked in the top 20 cities in the U.S. with sales in this category. According to Coldwell Banker Previews International, “The Luxury Market Report provides a comprehensive look at how the increasingly complex, mobile and global ultra high net worth individual is changing the high-end residential real estate landscape, one city at a time.” California is showing a strong rebound with a 27 percent price increase from 2012 to 2014. By contrast, home prices throughout the United States showed a price increase of 11 percent. “That’s more than two times higher,” said Jeff Culbertson, vice president southwest region of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “The economic impact of those market increases on each of these cities is significant. The upscale market is outperforming the rest of the market year over year because of increased demand for luxury home inventory and increasing prices, which have many homes selling at a value greater than $1 million when they would have gone for less than that threshold a year earlier.” The full report is available at PreviewsLMR.com u — Press Release

Food-linked books inspire creative cooks

n May 13, Green Acre Campus Pointe opened its doors to a group of gourmets with sophisticated taste buds, inspired chefs and devoted bibliophiles to celebrate the San Diego Council on Literacy’s sixth annual blockbuster event – EAT.DRINK.READ. This culinary and literary extravaganza was focused on ramping up awareness on the shocking illiteracy figures in both this community and around the country. According to Jose L. Cruz, CEO of SDCOL, 20 percent of the adult population in the nation (that’s 444,000 in San Diego County alone) are functionally illiterate, reading prose below fourth-grade level. In fact, 70 percent of these people are English speaking. Cruz explains that the Internet, social media and texting encourage the lazy use of acronyms and code words that jettison grammar, spelling, vocabulary and syntax rules. “EAT. DRINK. READ. is the foodie community saying that reading is important to us, and we can play a vital role to increase literacy rates,” said Cruz. Thanks to last year’s fundraising event 171,000 adults and children in San Diego received tutoring and books to hone their literary skills that their employability, livelihoods, academic careers, family dynamics and quality of life depend on. The rock stars of the evening included sponsors, such as The Dr. Seuss Foundation, Sycuan Casino & Resort, Ashford University, and the San Diego Chargers; media and marketing partners KPBS, U-T San Diego, and the San Diego Public Library to mention a few, as well as live auction and raffle donors. The local culinary circle came out in force, represented by celebrated chefs, bakers, chocolatiers, vendors, vintners and brewmasters as they plotted a gustatory adventure using a food-related book as their inspiration. Each developed an original theme paired with delectable offerings featured in their chosen literary work. Here are some of the cast of characters:

n Executive chef Brian Malarkey of Green Acre Campus Pointe and culinary host of the event concocted an herbivorous delight of sautéed snap peas with yoghurt, Meyer lemon, dill and Vadouvan (French interpretation of Indian Masala), accompanied by a carrot puree and crispy kale leaves to complement “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter. n Chef Donald Lockhart from Cusp Dining & Drinks created a whimsical Mad Hatter tea party with a menu in rhyming verse “a curry sauce drizzled on toasted quail with yellow tale.” A perfect treat for the Cheshire cat using Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” as his muse. n Croce’s Park West executive chef Russell Rummer served a sweet and savory crostini topped with duck rillettes, red wine onion marmalade, and micro arugula paying homage to John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath. “ n Chef Matt Gordon of Solace Restaurants served a smoky exotic Asian rice porridge or congee with jidori chicken and charred scallions to conjure images of pre-World War I Chinese peasant farmers in Pearl Buck’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, “The Good Earth.” n Casa Guadalajara’s chef Jose Duran whipped up a rich, hearty turkey mole over spicy rice using Laura Esquivel’s “Like Water for Chocolate” for his culinary spark. n The Patio Restaurant Group’s executive chef John Medall took a page from “Salem’s Lot,” Stephen King’s horror fiction novel filled with vampire slayings. Guests devoured oyster shooters and dug their fangs into blood sausage antipasto. n My mouth-watering contribution to literacy is a south Indian celebratory sweet called laddu with gram (chickpea) flour and ghee butter to pay tribute to my favorite novel, Yann Martel’s “Life of Pi.” So luscious laddu is like a poem melting in your mouth. u — If interested in becoming a volunteer tutor for San Diego Council on Literacy, call (888) 850-7323.

auren Gross, a realtor associate with the La Jolla office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, has joined the growing demand for experts in sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental consciousness by achieving Green Designation with the National Association of Realtors. “Enhancing my knowledge of sustainability and energy efficiency in our own homes and everyday life will enable me to assist homeowners in making important and environmentally smarter decisions that impact all of us,” said Gross, a La Jolla native. “Saving money is just a small part of the benefit that every household will embrace as we look toward living healthier and improving our environment, and I’m here to help make that happen.” According to the U.S. Green Building Council, green homes are generally, healthier, more comfortable, more durable, more energy efficient, and have a much

smaller environmental footprint than conventional homes. “There are several programs in San Diego that homeowners, buyers and sellers can take advantage of,” Gross said. “I can consult in bringing Lauren Gross these opportunities to light, and utilize resources available to everyone interested in making green choices when building, financing, designing and using renewable energy source.” Gross has been a realtor in La Jolla for 13 years and is in the top 7 percent of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agents nationwide. She can be contacted through the La Jolla office at (619) 778-4050 mobile, (858) 4590501 office, or lauren@laurengross.com. The La Jolla office is at 1299 Prospect St. and online at bhhscalifornia.com u — Press Release
