Mixed-use Village projects gain support By Pat Sherman During its June 9 meeting, the Development Permit Review committee (DPR) was given a fresh look at two projects that could add to the revitalization underway at the southern edge of the Village or — as some have feared — add unwanted density.

An upscale cinema complex is already under construction at 7611 Fay Ave., while plans for La Jolla Music Society’s performing arts complex across Fay Avenue are in motion and 18 luxury town homes at Silver Street and Eads Avenue are set to break ground Aug. 1.

In keeping with a surf culture theme, world-renowned surf photographer Aaron Chang and custom surfboard shaper Tim Bessell will serve as honorary ambassadors and will display wares. Chang, known for his striking ocean images, also has a personal connection to the event. After a neck injury, he was immobile for six months, and said he understands the value of providing a more active life for those with disabilities. Bessell, whose studio is located in La Jolla, recently launched the Artist Series, in which he imprints graphics by famous artists onto custom surfboards. See Festival of the Arts, A3

La Jolla people and projects receive preservation awards S By Pat Sherman everal La Jollans were among those honored last month with a 2015 People in Preservation Award for their painstaking efforts to preserve or restore historically significant structures and sites. The awards are presented each year by San Diego’s Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO). This year’s La Jolla recipients include Bird Rock homeowners Anne and Richard Kruse, Ione Stiegler and Joseph Reid of IS Architecture and John Norris, building and grounds committee chair at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.

Culturally Sensitive Rehabilitation

Divine Restoration

John Norris at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church worked with architects and contractors to assure a nearly seamless, $900,000 restoration, which began in 2013. Norris said he accepted SOHO’s Divine Restoration Award on behalf of “many hands in the kneading of the dough,” including Paul Benton of La Jolla-based Alcorn & Benton Architects, who donated consultation and other services. “I guess SOHO liked what we ended up doing,” Norris said of work to the building designed by architect Louis John Gill (1885-1969), who also designed original buildings and enclosures for the San Diego Zoo and was involved in designing the San Diego County Administration Building. “It was basically restored 95 percent of the way he designed it,” Norris said. “We are really pleased with it.” Although St. James does not have a historic designation,

SPECIALIZING IN EXQUISITE RANCH & COASTAL PROPERTIES

John Norris of St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church received Save Our Heritage Organisation’s Divine Restoration Award for overseeing a $900,000 restoration of the church built by Louis Gill, nephew of master architect Irving Gill. Pat Sherman

The historic Pueblo Revival-style estate that UCSD uses as its Chancellor’s residence — condemned and threatened with demolition a decade ago — received a new lease on life thanks to the work of La Jolla-based IS Architecture, whose principal, Ione Stiegler, and senior project manager, Joseph Reid, received SOHO’s Culturally Sensitive Rehabilitation Award. Stiegler said rehab of the 12,000-square-foot estate, perched on a failing coastal bluff off La Jolla Farms Road, was a monumental undertaking. The estate is situated atop sacred Native American burial grounds, so special care had to be taken not to disturb or desecrate the site, which has been occupied for at least 10,000 years and is closely monitored by the Kumeyaay Nation and California Native American Heritage Commission. Stiegler and her team had to install new plumbing as well as new cable, phone and electricity lines all without digging in soil that hadn’t been previously disturbed.

“The drainage off of the roof of the house was exasperating erosion on that bluff edge,” Stiegler said. “We had to re-pitch the roofs, capture the water and take it to the other side of the building, so it can now drain back toward the road.” A 100-foot-long, 30-foot-tall retaining wall also had to be designed and installed along a portion of the bluff using three-dimensional mapping technology, making sure heavy machinery needed for the job didn’t disturb the sacred site. Traditionally known as the William Black House (today Geisel House), the home, designed by Santa Fe architect William Lumpkins (1909-2000) and built in 1952, is designated as a state and federal historic landmark (read more at bit.ly/chancellorhouseucsd).

Norris said San Diego’s Historical Resources Board nevertheless had its “eyes and hands on what we were doing all the way through. They wanted to make sure that we didn’t inadvertently, or innocently, make any changes that would affect the historicity of the church.” The most crucial part of the job, Norris said, was restuccoing the exterior of the church — particularly the bell tower, which required a crew of 16 workers atop scaffolding. “It had to be a continuous thing until it was completed,” Norris said. “They just threw the bodies at it and got it done in one Saturday.” The work also included removing, cleaning and restoring the chapel’s lower-level stained glass windows and removing carpet added to the chapel during the 1970s. It was replaced with tile from Malibu Tile Works, specifically called for in Gill’s original plans but never installed (Norris suspects the omission was due to a lack of funds brought on by the Great Depression, which struck as the chapel and bell tower were nearing completion in 1930). “Malibu Tile Works went out of business sometime in the ’30s, but it was resurrected, so to speak, by a father and son and they call it the Malibu Ceramic Works now,” Norris said. “Their production plant, which I visited, is in Long Beach. We tried to go back to the cradle.”

Kozy Kowsheds”). It is believed he may have completed as many as 3,000 houses prior to his death. Richard Kruse said he and his wife did not initially know when purchasing the house in 1991 that it was a Kesling home, though they’ve since come to learn they live in “probably the best representation of a William Kesling house outside of the Silver Lake area (of Los Angeles),” he said. “Kesling was all about the rooflines and floor-to-ceiling glass. We have 100-something panes of glass — it’s amazing,” Kruse said. “Everybody’s tearing (his houses) down and modifying them, but ours is literally unaltered, for the most part, except for the little kitchen area.” Despite a smattering of Kesling homes in La Jolla, including one by Kellogg Park once photographed for Life magazine, much of what he built here is now gone. “Hollywood’s buying it up left and right — it’s the big thing for them. Sadly, it’s not down here,” Kruse said, adding he probably could have built a new home for what it cost he and his wife to restore their Kesling house over the past two decades. “We want to leave a legacy of some kind — and this is it for us,” he said. “We want to preserve it and not have happen what’s sadly happening all over La Jolla. You can’t replace what’s not there anymore.” u

The congregation didn’t want to interrupt Sunday services, its music program, previously scheduled weddings or unforeseen funeral services due to prolonged construction in the chapel, Norris noted. “I was over there all the time talking to the trades,” he said. “Every Friday I’d go buy pizzas or Subway sandwiches. That really helped keep their heads in the game, I think.”

Harmonious Addition

Anne and Richard Kruse received the Harmonious Addition Award for a historically authentic kitchen addition to their Chelsea Avenue home, which was designed by architect and builder William Kesling (18991983). Kesling, who once had an office on Girard Avenue, was most known for perfecting the Streamline Moderne style of architecture characterized by horizontal lines, utilitarian framing and the use of materials such as concrete, stucco, Vitrolite and Carrara glass — considered ultra-modern in the 1930s and ’40s. (IS Architecture also served as architect on this project). According to modernsandiego.com, Kesling’s local work was “re-discovered” in 2000 when San Diego architect Wayne Donaldson identified his row of houses on Dowling Street in La Jolla (derisively and endearingly referred to as “Kesling’s

cabinet, and grabs a few for the party “candy dish” — a big bowl filled with pills to be taken at random. Although the film is fictitious, what follows is the all-too-real story of millions of young people who misuse prescription drugs. The material came from research conducted by the Partnership for Drug Free Kids. “We hope families see this film and become aware of what’s going on in their own medicine cabinets and look at prescriptions they got, for example, after a dental surgery, but don’t need anymore, and look at how to dispose of the pills so they don’t end up in their children’s hands,” Wahlberg said. “When I was a kid, it was a progression. Kids would sneak a beer or maybe smoke a joint and maybe by the time

you were 25, you heard about someone you used to know who became an addict. Now kids are starting with the worst drug they could get their hands on at ages 13 and 14, because it’s right there at home, and they are becoming addicted.” Wahlberg also said teens take different medications that should not be mixed. Mixing benzodiazepines (aka ‘benzos’), such as Valium or Xanax, with opioid-based painkillers, such as Vicodin, can be lethal in young people, he said. Nikhil Nayak, chief marketing officer for Millennium Health, a partner in the film production, told La Jolla Light that statistics show teenagers think they won’t get in trouble if they get caught with their parents’ drugs because a doctor prescribed them.

An additional danger of misusing certain prescription drugs is the potential progression to drugs like heroin. “With an opioid for example, it’s the same type of high you get from heroin,” Nayak said. “So when kids get them from the medicine cabinets or from friends at parties and misuse the drug, they can get addicted to that feeling. Once the prescription drugs run out, many take to the streets to find something that gives them that same high.” After viewing the film, panelist and San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said, “I’m sadly reminded of how many times I’ve seen this in real life. “We’re seeing that prescription drug abuse is the No. 1 cause of accidental death and we’re seeing a rise in use by children and

By Ashley Mackin “If Only,” a film about prescription drug abuse in young people, chronicles what producers call “a parent’s worst nightmare.” It follows the lives of two high school students experimenting with painkillers and other pills. A project of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, the 30-minute film screened June 8 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla. “If Only,” along with resources for how to safely use, store and dispose of prescription medications, is now available for free download at dropthemoff.com Foundation director James Wahlberg said the film is a way for parents to get the conversation started with their children. “Some parents have their heads in the sand and think, ‘that could never happen to my kid,’ but this problem affects families across all economic levels, races and communities. Kids are getting into their parents’ medicine cabinets for drugs that were not prescribed for them. That’s where it starts.” The plot follows Isaac, played by Wahlberg’s son, Jeffrey, as he experiments with different prescription drugs and experiences the different highs that come with them. He also faces peer pressure to attend a party and bring pills. “How do I know if it’s good stuff?” he poses to his friend, Connor, who replies, “If it says ‘may cause drowsiness’ or ‘do not drink alcohol with …’ on the labels (bring them to the party).” Isaac finds prescription medications with such warnings in his mother’s medicine

teens. The prescription drugs are in our medicine cabinets, and parents and grandparents leave them around so the children grab them. It doesn’t take long before they get hooked on it.” Panelist Steven Passik, vice-president of clinical research and advocacy for Millennium Health, said nationally, 1 in 6 teens have used a prescription drug just to get high. He cited increased availability in the last 15 years, as doctors prescribe the drugs. “Twenty years ago, we had the problem of poorly treating pain. In an effort to do something about that, opioid prescription has risen more than 100 percent in the last 10 to 15 years. We started with one public health problem, now we have two — poorly treated pain and prescription drug abuse.” Denise Cullen, executive director of Grief Recovery After Substance Passing (GRASP), said there are 85 chapters of the support group in the country. “When you lose a child to anything involving drugs, there’s a lot of shame and stigma — not only to the person who died, but also to the family,” she said. “People make assumptions that you were a bad parent or else this wouldn’t have happened to you, and that’s just not true. It can happen to anybody.” She added that trying to “scare” teenagers into not using drugs has not proven successful. “Teens don’t think this kind of thing will happen to them,” she said. “We need to start being honest with them and explain what drugs do and what can happen in a way that they can trust us, so they can come to us if they’re having an issue. “We recommend safety first as a motivation for talking to kids; let them know you just want to keep them safe.” u

La Jolla Shores board hears Map plans, summer safety status By Ashley Mackin La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA), the board tasked with addressing community issues and providing a forum for citizen concerns, held its monthly meeting June 10 at the Biological Grade. On the agenda were updated plans to replace the Map educational installation, reports from lifeguards and police, and an initial report from the bylaw committee.

New Map plans Friends of La Jolla Shores president Mary Coakley Munk provided new plans to replace the Map display in Kellogg Park — chiefly to gain support for installing fencing around it. The board voted to support the concept, knowing additional presentations would be given as plans become final. Constructed by T.B. Penick in 2008, the Map depicted the ocean depths and wildlife found at La Jolla Shores, using glass beads in various shades of blue to indicate water depths. When the beads began to unearth, the area was fenced off as a safety hazard before being removed completely and replaced with decomposed granite last month. “We are working with the city hoping to come up with a plan that everyone is happy with,” Coakley Munk said. The new installation will be made with sturdy, vibrant lithomosaic tiles. To keep the area clean and preserved, the Friends group is proposing it be fenced off with only one access point. The Map previously had no fencing, and beachgoers reportedly walked over it, speeding its deterioration. She added

the fencing would also make the area safer for field trips and children who visit the area. Presenting a rendering, Coakley Munk said the fencing would be blue with decorative images of garibaldi imbedded, but see-through, to preserve the ocean view. On the fencing parallel to the restroom, panels would be installed that identify the fish represented in the Map. T.B. Penick has agreed to pay $50,000 for the materials, but to replace the Map with lithomosaic will cost $275,000. Coakley Munk said she and her husband, Walter, would supply the difference. “We fundraised for this project (initially) and it failed, and I feel very strongly that it needs to be taken care of appropriately,” she said.

near) their vehicles to go surfing or swimming. “We’ve all seen that, where a surfer hides car keys under the bumper or in a bush. Thieves are watching for that,” he said. “If you know someone who does that, mention to him or her that people are watching them and are going to steal their stuff or their car.” Another summer problem are drum circles at Black’s Beach. “It sounds harmless enough, but this is a complaint-driven situation,” Hesselgesser said. “Nearby residents find trash and teenagers passed out from the night before. These teens are unsupervised and it gets out of hand.” He said police will increase patrol on nights when the drum circles are expected.

Safety at the beach

Bylaws will be revised

San Diego Lifeguard Rich Stropky and San Diego Police Department Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser discussed summer crime and safety patrols. Stropky said 200 seasonal lifeguards were recently recertified and visitors can expect to see 15 lifeguards at the beach every day. To make sure beach concessionaires are acting within the terms of their contracts, lifeguard ambassadors will also be on patrol. “They take the utility vehicle to observe, monitor and pursue everything at the boat launch,” he said. “They are our eyes and ears. They are not law enforcement, but they are knowledgeable about rules for concessions, they monitor everything and write reports.” Hesselgesser spoke about the thefts that occur when drivers leave their keys in (or

Following a challenge to the recent LJSA election protocol, a committee formed to identify holes in the group’s bylaws pertaining to the process. Former LJSA chair Tim Lucas gave a preliminary report on bylaw committee efforts. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, 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. Lucas flipped a coin to determine the winner. In April, a challenge was filed arguing that because the bylaws do not expressly dictate how to break a tie, a coin-flip was not the appropriate way to handle a tie and Robert’s Rules of Order should have been used instead. The election results ultimately

stood, but it opened the door for the board to examine its bylaws. Lucas said the committee considered whether to implement an instant tiebreak, which would be handled at that same meeting, or runoff election, which is carried over to the following month. Favoring an instant tiebreak, he said the committee is considering writing into their bylaws that a tie would be settled by a coin flip. In the event of a three-way tie, all candidates would receive a coin and the odd person out would win the seat. “We are also cleaning up some of the language so it’s clear that an election is decided by plurality as opposed to a majority,” he said. Majority: A candidate would need to get 50 percent of the votes to be elected. Plurality: Whomever gets the most votes gets the seat. “We are also writing it in that only persons who participated in the election, registered and voted — or felt they were unfairly prevented from participating — may file a challenge,” and they only have five days to do so. The bylaws were last revised in 2011, and the committee has not produced a draft of their proposed changes yet. u

Next meeting set A presentation covering LJSA’s purpose and responsibilities was postponed so chair Nick LaBeouf could do additional research and provide a thorough presentation. LJSA next meets 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 8 at 8840 Biological Grade on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus. ljsa.org

ancho Dewhurst of GDC Construction, Inc., La Jolla, has initiated an advisory “Building 101” column for La Jolla Light, Rancho Santa Fe Review and Del Mar Times readers, which is available online and in print. The column will serve as an informational showcase for GDC Construction’s four generations of building experience. Dewhurst will share some of the knowledge he and his company have acquired over almost a century of building in Southern California. Through the years, GDC Construction has built some of the most distinguished homes in La Jolla and San Diego County, which have provided Dewhurst and his team with a treasure trove of knowledge about construction in often challenging circumstances. Dewhurst now contributes some of that knowledge to his readers sharing; stories about the art of building, the business aspects of construction, interviews with building professionals and local history, all in a series of columns scheduled throughout the year. Pancho Dewhurst took the reins at GDC

Construction after a long apprenticeship with his father, George Dewhurst. A lifetime in the local construction industry taught Pancho that “a general contractor’s primary role is to assemble and manage your team on behalf of each client and their needs. “Building the best team includes establishing purchasing power, making solid, long-term relationships with vendors and subcontractors, and establishing an experienced supervisory team. These are the primary tools of the general contractor,” Dewhurst said. In his new column, Dewhurst will enlighten and inspire readers interested in developing a building team and share his knowledge in the art of building.

Planning Commission denies project appeals supported by LJCPA La Jolla Community Planning Association

Fight over Whale Watch Way home design concludes

On May 14, the Planning Commission denied the LJCPA’s appeal of a controversial, ultra-modern courtyard home planned for 8490 Whale Watch Way in La Jolla Shores. For years, the LJCPA and La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee have rejected the project as being too large for its lot, bulky and out of character with the neighborhood. During the Planning Commission hearing, Prestwick Drive resident Gilda Corengi, who

said she shares the east property line with the proposed “two-story, compound-shaped house,” argued that its design had been altered little since it was last presented, and is still 106 feet in length along the 136-foot east property line. “The building pad is being raised three feet,” Corengi said. “Even though they’re now telling me that the courtyard wall is being reduced six feet, actually the wall will now have a visual view of 18 feet if you add the three feet of dirt they’re adding below. This is what we will be looking at from all the rooms, my garden and patio facing west. The proposed house will block my sunlight, skyline and make my house very dark.” Planning Commission chair Tim Golba, one of two votes against the project, also

voiced strong opposition to the project, as it was presented that day. “It’s a brilliant piece of architecture, but I’m not sure that it’s a brilliant location for this brilliant piece of architecture,” Golba said. “This strikes me as something that wanted to be on a bigger piece of land, more isolated, set up in a nice green field. It would have its setting (there) as a sculpture, as a piece of art.” Golba said within the La Jolla Shores Design Manual, part of the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (or blueprint for design) — which the commission references in making its decisions — “there does appear to be language that can encourage this type of architecture, but also discourage it as something that’s so different from its context.”

By Pat Sherman During the past month, San Diego Planning Commission ruled in favor of two projects previously opposed by the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) and its Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittee — both final outcomes.

The LJCPA, which meets monthly at La Jolla Rec Center, makes recommendations to the City of San Diego and other government agencies on development and land use issues in La Jolla.

820 Rushville On June 11, the Planning Commission voted 6-1 to deny an appeal of a home rebuild (the Hansen residence) at 820 Rushville St. and Bishops Lane. In December, the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittee voted 5-4 that findings could not be made to recommend the city issue permits for the project. During two presentations to the DPR, members of the public and five opposing DPR members found the flatroofed house to be bulky and out of character with the neighborhood. “This came through (the DPR) about the time we had at least five other projects that we also turned down for incompatibility with our community plan,” said DPR member Diane Kane, addressing the commissioners June 11. “In four other cases, the applicants worked with us and we got

much improved projects. “That didn’t happen in this case,” she added of architect Dominique Houriet at [oo-d-a] studio, who she said opted not to accept the DPR’s invitation to return and discuss the project further. “The community really didn’t get a good opportunity to go over this project and refine it to where we think it will be a wonderful addition.” Commissioner Theresa Quiroz — the lone vote against the project — also argued that the applicant missed an opportunity to work with the community. Although DPR member Mike Costello told commissioners he and some of his DPR colleagues preferred a reduction in the project’s bulk and scale, more articulation and a sloped roof — possibly comprised of red tile like La Jolla High School is using in its athletic facilities remodel — Golba argued that the DPR should not be trying to

dictate architectural style. Commissioners ultimately disagreed with arguments that the neighborhood is dominated by single-story cottages, and that the proposed rectangular, two-story home — to be built across from the La Jolla High School athletic fields — is not in compliance with the La Jolla Community Plan. Voicing opposition to the appeal (and support for the project) commissioners noted the area is impacted by the “controlled chaos at La Jolla High,” a neighboring convalescent home and other, larger two- and three-story structures in the immediate area — including a mix of smaller and larger homes on Rushville Street, Eads Avenue and Bishops Lane. Golba said Houriet designed a much smaller home than its building envelope and city code allow on that site. “The architect really consolidated and

pushed this building together to create a compact footprint,” Golba said. “Rushville is much more of an alley than Bishops Lane is. ... It’s mostly used for pick-up and drop-off at La Jolla High, I would argue. It’s just a very strange context and what they’ve done is probably the appropriate use for this.”

last week’s DPR meeting, noting that about 2,000 square feet of commercial space has been shaved off, while residential space has been slightly increased. Other changes include adding variation to the side of the project facing the alley (Bishops Lane) by recessing residential facades and planting vegetation. A 600-square-foot loading zone off Bishops Lane was also added so trucks won’t block the alley when making deliveries. City staff approved the previous design, finding it met city code, although the city has yet to review the current design. Some residents have lingering concerns with its bulk and scale, potential traffic impacts and the unearthing of soil that may still be contaminated, during excavation for

The owner of this 76 gas station on Pearl Street plans to demolish it and build a two-story mixed-use project that would include four commercial spaces (possibly a natural foods market) and 12 condominiums.

the garage. During the DPR meeting, City of San Diego senior planner Lesley Henegar lauded Alcorn & Benton and property owner Mark Conger for addressing many of residents’ and DPR members’ concerns since the project was last presented. “This design seems to be very consistent with the La Jolla Community Plan,” Henegar said. “I don’t have issues with this project. I think it’s quite exceptional.” However, Doug and Karen Moranville, whose single-story Eads Avenue home abuts the southern edge of the project, still fear the project may diminish their privacy. The project would be built on several adjoining parcels, with those facing Pearl Street located within Planned District

Ordinance Zone 4 (neighborhood commercial) while the southern parcels are zoned for medium-density residential. Leslie Gaunt, an attorney representing the Moranvilles, again took exception with the project redistributing the higher density allowed in the commercial zone along Pearl Street to the south of the property — effectively doubling the density the city would otherwise allow there. “They are taking the absolute maximum density they can use at this location,” Gaunt said, noting that if the southern portion were built in accordance with existing residential zoning, it would require an 18-foot buffer from the Moranvilles’ property line. However, Henegar said she believes the currently proposed, 8- to 12-foot buffer

retail spaces fronting Pearl Street (two measuring 1,000 square feet, one of 900 square feet and the largest at 2,500 square feet). Three of its 12 condos would be above the commercial units, and the remainder located on the south side of the property, accessible from an interior courtyard. An underground parking garage with about 42 spaces would remain accessible from Eads Avenue. “An earlier scheme suggested a restaurant use in part of this, but we’re suggesting that might not be such a wise idea, and maybe a Sprouts Market or some other amenity that would serve the community (would be a better fit),” said architect Jim Alcorn during

Permit reviewers are weighing plans to develop this parcel at 7610 Girard Ave. as a mix of commercial and retail space. It would include seven condos and 5,125 square feet of retail space on Girard Avenue.

Jim Alcorn of Alcorn & Benton Architects has redesigned a proposed mixed-use project at the corner of Pearl Street and Eads Avenue (currently a 76 gas station) that was first presented to the DPR in 2013. The project has been modified to address previous community and city staff concerns. between the project and the Moranvilles’ home — which would include trees and landscaping for privacy — is sufficient. DPR member Angeles Liera said she thinks the project’s latest incarnation is “pretty decent” and “solves the issues much better than the previous (design),” though added, “I have heard loud and clear that this project is taking something from the neighborhood. … I want to see the list of what this project is giving back to the community. … To me, that’s very important.” Alcorn will present the project again to the DPR in the near future, with several items it requested, including noise and traffic studies. Following city and community review, the San Diego Planning Commission will vote

Noting that the city approved previous plans to redevelop the southeast corner of Pearl Street and Eads Avenue, city planner Lesley Henegar praised the property owner and new architect for making further concessions to address community concerns.

7610 Girard Ave. After having his initial, three-story design roundly rejected by both the DPR and La Jolla Community Planning Association (read more at bit.ly/PQproject), Philip Quatrino of PQ Design Studio submitted entirely new plans for his mixed-use project at 7610 Girard Ave., to be built on a parking lot just north of Vons. The current, two-story plans call for seven residential condos of between 1,333 and 1,426 square feet, and 5,125 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Quatrino said the project’s footprint is

largely the same, minus an entry courtyard and a third, partially subterranean commercial level. A 27-vehicle underground garage would be accessed at the rear alley, while commercial loading would take place on Girard Avenue. A storm-water easement between the project and Vons would serve as a walkway. The project would include a rooftop deck with fire pits and swimming pool, interior courtyard, solar panels, and, at the front of the building, a 26-foot-tall garden wall and 8-foot-tall “green screens” between entrances to the ground floor commercial units. Much emphasis was placed on the building’s front aesthetics, as it is located near the terminus of Torrey Pines Road — a major vehicle entry to the Village.

“This is a major improvement from what we saw before,” DPR member Diane Kane said, suggesting proposed, frosted glass doors be made transparent, as called for in La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance, or blueprint for design. “We want whoever is in there to be successful; it’s in all our best interests,” she said. To make the building pop, Liera suggested Quatrino look at ways to “play up” the materials, including a light brown, fauxwood façade with stucco recesses. She also asked that Quatrino return to a future meeting with visuals showing the proposed building in relation to surrounding structures — particularly Vons — so committee members can see how it would fit in. u

Graduating with Virtues Baha’i spiritual ed class holds ceremony in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin ome 30 members of the Virtues and Spiritual Education class “graduated” from its spring program June 13, during a ceremony at La Jolla Rec Center, where they’ve met in recent months. Although based on Baha’i principles and prayers, the classes teach virtues that span all faiths, including truthfulness, service, love, patience, kindness and peace. There are two levels: the younger class (ages 8 and under) explores the virtues, and the older class (ages 8-10) studies the histories of different world faiths. Held Saturdays at the Rec Center, classes are free and open to the public. Each class focuses on one virtue, and uses stories, games, songs, prayers and activities to illustrate that virtue. Classes take a break for summer and resume in the fall. “It’s separate from a religion, we are not preaching a particular god, we are preaching spirituality,” said Baha’i teacher Tandis Arjmand. “We come from the perspective that there is a god, whatever entity you want to call that god, and god sent down different messengers at different times in history and we share what their message was. We teach the children about Jesus Christ, Buddha, Muhammad, Abraham, Moses and the founder of our faith, Baha’u’llah. But it’s all about oneness of religions and the common virtues they profess. “This is a safe place where we don’t say my prophet is better than your prophet or my holy book is better than your holy book.” When asked what she learned during her studies, 6-year-old Nura Zabihi, said, “You should say prayers every day and always tell the truth, be a good friend and be patient. God made us all and it doesn’t matter what skin color we have or what language we speak.” Added 8-year-old Nina Yamini, “We also learned about all the virtues and about different prophets. We learned that the prophets all came to teach us to be kind and be of service to people.” During the summer break, students will engage in service projects like beach cleanups. “We’re trying to get children away from

Upon completion of the class, students receive a book of prayers, illustrated for children.

Teachings of Baha’i Baha’i originated in Iran in the mid-19th century and focuses on three principles: ■ Unity of God, there is only one God who is the source of all creation; ■ Unity of Religion, all major religions have the same spiritual source and come from the same God; ■ Unity of Humanity, all humans have been created equal, and the diversity of race and culture are worthy of appreciation Wikipedia.org and acceptance.

the me, me, me of life, which can be hard because schools are so competitive — I have the better backpack, my parents have the better car, I have the better house — and instead teach them spirituality and kindness and service to each other,” Arjmand said. Although using prayers to teach these concepts, participants do not have to say Baha’i prayers and Arjmand said several mixed-faith families send their children to these classes as a way of laying the

The group will hold its first public meeting, 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, July 1 at La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. The committee, which includes DPR member Angeles Liera, LJCPA trustees Diane Kane, Jim Ragsdale and Glen Rasmussen, community member Sharon Wampler, and architect Eric Lindebak (with the office of Safdie Rabines), was created to gather public input on issues regarding residential, single-family development in La Jolla, and craft proposed solutions for submittal to the city (read more at bit.ly/mcmansionadhoc).

foundation for whatever their religion or spiritual practice may be. Mina Jam, who is of the Baha’i faith, said her husband is Catholic and her children attend Stella Maris Academy. “I still want them to come to these classes to learn about the virtues that the faiths share,” Jam said. “Commonalities such as kindness, service and generosity complement what they are learning in school. And it doesn’t confuse them. My

Both residents and those in the building industry are invited to participate in discussions on any proposed changes to current zoning or the La Jolla Community Plan — particularly regarding what some consider an abuse of a categorical exemption allowing project applicants to sidestep the community review process and requirement to obtain a costal development permit. “The committee is charged with building community consensus,” LaCava said. “If we don’t have the community consensus, City Hall’s not going to listen to us and they’re not going to carry that conversation any further.” To send feedback to the ad hoc committee or for more information, e-mail: info@lajollacpa.org n LaCava declares candidacy, steps down as LJCPA president: During the LJCPA’s June 4 meeting, board president Joe LaCava confirmed his already-publicized plan to run for the District 1 City Council seat being vacated by Sherri Lightner in 2016. As such, he handed over his presidential gavel to first-vice president Cindy Greatrex. LaCava said he would remain on the LJCPA board during

the campaign, as well as that of its parent group, the city’s Community Planners Committee, which he chairs. LaCava said he stepped down as president due to a “possible conflict between what you do campaigning and what you do running the organization,” adding, “I am not leaving (the LJCPA board) because the transition is going to be a little bit slow and painful, so I want to make sure the organization is well taken care of.” LaCava’s disclosure followed a similar announcement during public comment period by Carmel Valley resident Ray Ellis, who is also running for the District 1 seat (Ellis ran unsuccessfully to unseat Lightner in 2012). Both Ellis, a member of the Del Mar Mesa Planning Group, and LaCava, opposed the controversial One Paseo mixed-use project in Carmel Valley. Last month the San Diego City Council rescinded its previous 7-2 approval of One Paseo. Following a legal settlement, developer Kilroy Realty will work with the community to design a smaller project that minimizes its bulk and scale, and impacts such as traffic congestion. u n On the Web: lajollacpa.org

Dad and daughter dental team moves practice to Prospect Street

ohn Taddey, D.D.S. and Tracy Taddey, D.D.S. — La Jolla’s father and daughter dental team — are proud to announce the opening of their new office at 875 Prospect St., Suite 301. Previously on Ivanhoe Avenue for 41 years, the Taddeys said they are excited to continue their family legacy in dentistry by embarking on a new chapter of their practice. “Our new office is very modern and has a great ocean view; we feel lucky to continue serving our patients in a spectacular new space,” they said. The Taddeys offer the most advanced dental technologies so their patients have a relaxing and state-of-the-art, comfortable experience. The new location is in the heart of the Village with validated onsite parking. The Taddey team has a great commitment to their patients providing modern and state-of-the-art dentistry. Digital X-rays, highly cosmetic porcelain metal-free crowns and veneers, Invisalign, tooth-colored composite fillings, implants, and laser cosmetic and gum therapy are all part of the advances in dentistry the Taddeys offer their patients. Dr. Tracy Taddey’s passion and main focus is cosmetic and restorative dentistry, as well as Invisalign. “The newest cosmetic crowns are metal-free and give the patient a beautiful and natural, translucent smile,” Dr. Tracy Taddey said. “We see patients who felt embarrassed by their teeth and rarely smile, transform into an individual with great self confidence and self-esteem, and this is one of the most rewarding aspects of dentistry by having a positive impact on appearance and self worth.”

While attending New York University and post-graduate studies, Dr. Tracy Taddey worked for ELLE magazine as an Assistant Beauty and Health Editor, where she was exposed to the world of cosmetics, fashion and models. “I became interested in cosmetics and aesthetic perfection before my dental career began. I love the intricate details of cosmetic dentistry and smile design, and I love how a beautiful and personalized smile can absolutely change someone’s life.” Dr. Tracy Taddey is a third-generation dentist. “Both my grandfather and dad are dentists and continuing our family

practice is a great privilege for me. My dad and I have loved working together for 17 years, and we are so happy for the years to come!” she said. Dr. John Taddey opened his doors to dentistry in La Jolla from New York City in 1974, and has continued to thrive and provide excellent dental care to many patients over the years. Dr. John Taddey said, “We get to know our patients very well and provide a positive personal experience. We are a very family-oriented practice and enjoy treating all age groups, including children.” Dr. John focuses his practice on specialty work such as root canals, extractions, and is a renowned expert on TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Dysfunction therapy and Sleep Apnea. “This move is significant in my career, however, the patients make our practice, and we are all moving forward together. I am thrilled to continue excellent dental care in a new environment together with Tracy and all that is to come.” The Taddey team welcomes new patients and accepts many insurance plans.

Time to abate the La Jolla helicopter nuisance By James Murray Concerned Citizen

GUEST COMMENTARY

ecent letters from residents calling for an investigation into the significant increase in the frequency of helicopter flights over and around La Jolla in the last couple of years is an important issue. La Jolla residents will need assistance from their San Diego city, county, state and federal representatives to get action on the problem. I discussed the James Murray matter two years ago at a La Jolla community meeting with the administrative assistants of City

Councilmember Sheri Lightner and County Supervisor Dave Roberts. Since helicopter flight patterns are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration, city and state representatives need support from our Congressional representative Scott Peters, and the two U.S. Senators from California, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein. Senator Feinstein has been a mainstay in assisting Los Angeles residents address helicopter problems. I’ve been a La Jolla resident for the better part of 40 years in the north La Jolla Village Square neighborhood, west of the I-5. Five years ago, the helicopter traffic multiplied dramatically. Now, several times a day, helicopter noise is no different from a war zone or airport. Helicopter routes are vectored dangerously over five

densely populated condominium complexes and over the La Jolla Scenic Drive South residential district, including Torrey Pines Elementary School and the YMCA. The helicopter issue is one that should be key in the 2016 election campaigns of La Jolla representatives! The following L.A. Times article reports on recent steps taken to combat helicopter noise in that city: Los Angeles County residents can now officially complain about excessive helicopter noise. The socalled Automated Complaint System, which began operations on Tuesday, allows residents to track local helicopter flights and identify aircraft producing excessive noise as well as their operators. Complaints can be lodged online at heli-noise-la.com or by calling (424) 348-4354. We need citizens to call for the same system here in San Diego/La Jolla. u

Aircraft noise deplorable The loud aircraft noise invades your inner ear as intimate as a lover, as insistent as a bedside alarm with no snooze button. During it, you cannot talk, and after it, you cannot sleep. It comes at any hour of the day or night. A few mornings ago, at 4:50, it reverberated the sleeping timbers of my house like a drum. These ghastly loud noises are made by cognizant people. They are not the natural sounds of the Earth’s atmosphere, or ocean, or geology. Doubtless there are sometimes episodes when it is needful to fly low and loud and dangerous over our houses, but such episodes are rare. In nearly all cases, the people responsible should be chastised and stopped, if La Jolla is to become the place it could and ought to be. David Edwards

Veterans Post seeks drapes for stage area A La Jolla resident, I am also Commander of American Legion La Mesa Post 282 and VFW O.K. Ingram Ship 1774. Our building was constructed in 1947 with a large stage and curtains that were donated late 1949. They are now beyond repair. A letter was sent to the manager of the Landmark Theater in La Jolla asking for the donation of one of their theater’s curtains, since they were closing on June 14, but they replied that they can not donate the curtains due to their early departure date. Thus, I am asking for

the community’s assistance. We are a non-profit Veterans Organization 501(c)(19). Any assistance would be most appreciated and, of course, a donation letter will be provided that you may use for tax purposes. Our website is lamesapost282.org Jack Porath jporath1@roadrunner.com

McMansions are McCheesey Regarding your recent poll question: Are you concerned with a proliferation of so-called “McMansions” in La Jolla? Yes: 62% No: 38%. How funny! Was that 62 percent of “McMansion” owners said yes (they are concerned) and 38 percent of the rest of the “McMansion” owners said no (they are not concerned)? The La Jolla small beach cottages and houses from the 1940s, ‘50s, ‘60s, etc. have all been demolished to make way for “homes” twice to three times as large. After all, who doesn’t want a jewel larger than the previous house or a bit larger than the neighbors? Well, as they say, “As La Jolla goes, so does the rest of the nation!” Charles Kaminski

Save the dirty looks folks, it’s recycled water I have been planting the small roundabout located at the intersection of Bird Rock and Bellevue Avenues for almost eight years. Rather than having it adorned with decomposed granite that the city contractors put in, I replaced it with rich soil and plant flowers each season of the year. Now with the water drought our county and state are facing, I occasionally get unfriendly comments and stares while watering the flowers. Six years ago I put in an extensive city-approved recycling water system at my residence and use this water exclusively to water the flowers and much of my yard. I would hope my neighbors and commuters that pass by every day know that the flowers and I are

in full compliance with the City of San Diego’s water restrictions. The restrictions apply to potable water (water that is fit to drink) as provided by the City of San Diego and not to recycled/reclaimed/ gray water systems. Neighbors in general are most appreciative of the color and happiness that it brings to the birds, butterflies and residents alike. Flowers can remain viable during these tough times with a little ingenuity and passion. As a Bird Rocker since 1954, it is my way of giving back to this wonderful community. u Joseph McGoldrick LJHS Class of 1966

Y’s Riptide Basketball first place in competitive league

fiesty group of fourth-grade boys from La Jolla finished their season 7-1, in first place for the spring San Diego Sol basketball league, which includes teams from all over San Diego, in divisions for third through eighth graders. This team has been together for five seasons, playing together since age 8. Most began in the La Jolla YMCA recreational league competing against each other, but eventually, they were ready for more, and so Riptide basketball was formed three years ago. While many club programs have an intense schedule and commitment requirement, the Riptide program keeps age in perspective. The boys attend a mix of La Jolla schools, including: La Jolla Elementary, La Jolla Country Day, Gillespie and Evans. “It’s been fun to watch how close these boys have become, and how tight the team is from the players to the parents,” Coach Lorri Sulpizio said. “We joke about the future and how eventually, they’ll be going against each other in high school, but the amazing thing about this sport is how the bond transcends the court. I hope to teach these kids not only how to make a sharp bounce pass and rotate on defense, but how to work well with others and recognize the importance of relationships and attitude.” Finishing in first place this season was extra sweet, since last season, the team lost by one point in the playoff semi-finals. Their goal was to leave that loss behind and finish as the top team in the spring season.

Huck Martin, Evan Estrada, coach Lorri Sulpizio, Justin Scully, Jaden Mangini, Garrett Bass-Sulpizio, Austin Bale, Chase Landa, Ryan Arrowsmith, Cyrus Chitayat, Cameron Chitayat and assistant coach Rich Sulpizio Courtesy That goal was achieved. Founded and coached by former college coach Sulpizio, Riptide aims to give young players an introduction into more advanced basketball skills and team strategies.

Hearing creates a fundamental connection to the world around us.

Are you, or someone you know, Hard of Hearing? Brainhearing can help. BrainHearing technology provides a wide range of hearing benefits to its user, including: • Helping both ears work together • Recognizing and preserving natural speech • Separating speech from background noise • Coordinating how sound is best understood by your brain What happens in your ears when you listen to a conversation is actually a very small part of the process of hearing. The real heavy lifting is done by a different part of your body: your brain. It’s in the brain that sound waves become sounds that have meaning to you. Your brain is what uses the information from your two ears to figure out where a sound is coming from. And your brain is what helps you focus in on a conversation and tune out unwanted noise. And because no two people’s brains are the same, no two people hear the same. Recognizing that your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint inspired Oticon to innovate their revolutionary BrainHearing technology. BrainHearing technology enables Oticon hearing instruments to be minutely tuned by a hearing care professional to match your unique hearing profile and personal sound preferences. Then it delivers sound with the clearest, purest signal possible in the way your brain is best able to understand it.

Power Player

Hard-hitting La Jollan to play on national teams By Ashley Mackin a Jolla Youth Baseball star Michael Campagna, 14, a student at All Hallows Academy, was selected to not one, but two national teams this year. This summer, he will play for one of the USSSA All American Teams and participate in the USA Baseball National Team Identification Series (NTIS) program. Michael is the son of Mike and Michelle Campagna. Players on the eight USSSA teams represent the best from eight regions across the country, and regional teams compete against each other in the nationally televised All American Games. Michael was one of 15 players selected for the Far West region 14U team comprised of players from Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Southern California. The USSSA All American Games will be held in August in Florida. The NTIS program also has teams comprised of the best players from their respective regions — with Michael having been selected for the Southern California team. This summer, he will play in North Carolina with the hopes of being selected for a national team — representing the best in the country. NTIS national team players are often asked to participate in the Junior Olympics. “I started playing baseball when I was 4 years old playing t-ball at the Cliffridge Park YMCA,” Michael said. “When I was seven years old, I started playing travel ball (a recreational tournament team) and La Jolla Youth Baseball PONY ball, and have been playing ever since.” His father, Mike Campagna, added, “He represents La Jolla, he’s a local boy, born and raised here. The PONY coaches are really happy for him because he came from PONY and not a lot of kids get this opportunity.” A power hitter, Michael also plays third base, catcher and pitcher. This season, he led the league in home runs season and

Nine La Jolla student athletes named to All-San Diego teams

a Jolla High School Viking pitcher Timmy Holdgrafer was named The San Diego Union-Tribune Baseball Player of the Year and added to the All-San Diego Section first team. Boasting a .456 batting average and 1.31 Earned Run Average (58 strikeouts in 59 innings), Holdgrafer made his mark behind the bat and on the mound. The athletes were selected by a panel of media, coaches and advisors under the auspices of the San Diego Hall of Champions.

n Other La Jolla High Vikings named to the first or second team: • Senior Joe Palatella: first team boys volleyball • Sophomore Audrey Chan: first team badminton • Junior Dane Pieper: second team boys volleyball n From The Bishop’s School: • Senior Neil Lunsford: second team boys lacrosse • Senior Chris Alleyne: second team boys volleyball

Michael Campagna will represent La Jolla on two national teams this year. Ashley Mackin was crowned Home Run King. Although unsure of his batting average, Michael often bats third in the lineup — a position reserved for a team’s slugger and one able to keep an inning going facing a third out, or advance runners already on base. “It becomes more fun every time you play, and it gets to be even more fun when you get good at it,” Michael joked. “Plus I’ve made a lot of friends playing on different teams.” u

A Gracious Host

Mary Ellen Morgan plants milkweed for monarch butterflies

By Ashley Mackin n an effort to attract and provide a breeding place for the fiery-colored monarch butterfly, La Jollan Mary Ellen Morgan has dedicated a part of her garden to planting milkweed. Considered a “host plant” for the monarchs, milkweed provides a place for monarch caterpillars to grow and thrive before embarking on their transformative journeys. Her efforts started by accident three years ago. “I went to a nursery just looking for flowers for my flowerbed, and I found this pretty plant, so I took it home,” she said. “One day I walked past the flowerbed and my really pretty plant had the leaves eaten off and there were all these caterpillars.” She looked online for the type of caterpillar that had devoured her plant and realized they were monarch caterpillars, ones that would eventually become monarch butterflies. “Before I knew it, I had all these butterflies flying around my yard,” she said. She continued to purchase milkweed and nectar plants to feed the butterflies. “It’s been really easy and really fun, and I’ve invited kids to come and see this,” she said. “If children wanted to do this at home, all their parents or schools would have to do is go and buy some milkweed … there are monarch preservation associations that will send you seedlings for a dollar a plant.” Milkweed plants, said David Marriott, director and founder of the San Diego-based Monarch Program, are a host for monarchs in all cycles of life — and ones that monarchs know how to find and return to. Butterflies lay their eggs on the leaves, which hatch after a few days into larvae. The larvae then eat the leaves to grow and become caterpillars. See Monarch Butterflies, B18

The Ancient World of the

Mayans

By Linda Hutchison he mystery of the Maya — how they built, and then abandoned, up to 40 stone cities in the jungles of Mexico and Central America — has fascinated many people for close to 200 years. Now, thanks to “Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed,” a new exhibit at the San Diego Natural History Museum (theNAT), we can see how explorers and archeologists dug into and uncovered those ancient, beautiful cities. And we can dig in ourselves, learning more about what has emerged. At 10,000 square feet, “… it is the largest Maya exhibit to tour the United States and the first on the West Coast,” explained Michael Hager, president and CEO of theNAT. According to Hager, theNAT partnered with science museums in St. Paul, Boston and Denver to develop and finance

Michael Hager, president/CEO of San Diego Natural History Museum, with replicas of carved stone monuments called stelae, erected by Maya rulers in 8th century A.D.

Let Inga Tell You

Lawn Wars

La Jolla Cultural Partners

very letter to the editor on the subject of the drought suggests converting lawns to a garden of “attractive native plants.” Is it just me or is “attractive native plants” an oxymoron? We’re clear that our highly-used lawn may soon be a thing of the past. We’re already mourning it and contemplating what we’re going to do that doesn’t involve the five grandtots dodging cactuses in the front yard. I can’t help but observe that people who are most vocally anti-lawn don’t have one. Also that they’ve never seen a garden of “native plants.” If the plants are attractive, they’re native to somewhere else. Over the years, The San Diego UnionTribune has published the recollections of one Mary C. Morse, who arrived by ship to then-wharfless San Diego on July 5, 1865: Her first impressions? “Oh, the strangely foreign look as I stepped from my state room and stood on deck as the steamer came to anchor! The hills were brown and barren, not a tree or green thing to be seen. A most desolate looking landscape!” Want to recreate the look? Drive on I-5 through the Pendleton Marine Base. Forget the first Gold Rush. I’m guessing the folks who made early fortunes in

California were in irrigation. But the fact is, for the moment at least, California is out of water. In the 42 years I’ve lived in my house, we’ve tiptoed up to this point a few times before in previous droughts. I have photographs of the house I took in February 1991 when we were facing 50-percent water cuts labeled “Last green lawn ever?” All of us who thought we moved to San Diego are facing the cruel reality that, climate-wise, we may have moved to Vegas. It’s not easy to change the mindset. However, one thing I’ve noticed over the past 42 years is that no matter how much or little it rains or how much you conserve, water rates just go up. There’s no winning the water game. If your yard is purely decorative, there are plenty of options. But what if you actually use it for lawn-like activities? Years ago, in similar drought circumstances, we decided to let the kikuyu weed take over our yard. Google kikuyu and you’ll find plenty of places that will be happy to come out and kill it for you. Instead we said, “Have at it!” Given that it’s a weed, it’s drought-resistant and manages to stay green for much of the year. Not nearly as nice looking as the tall fescue we started

with but it provides a nice spongy padding when tiny persons learning ambulatory skills do face-plants on it. I read a suggestion recently that unused lawns should be mandatorily removed. So, can we submit a video? Grandtots toddling? Dog fetching? Olof and I reading in our lawn chairs? Our backyard with its pool and brick patio are poor play places for tiny kids and a non-swimming dog. All that flat green space in the front is perfect, as it was for our own kids. Kikuyu, survival-of-the-fittest border plants, and only-as-needed watering have comprised our water conservation efforts for years. It isn’t as though we haven’t looked at other options, too. Artificial turf comes in a variety of qualities. But if your goal is to have a play area for kids, synthetic grass gets very hot in the sun and is really abrasive. Further, the estimate we got for a better quality fake grass would have paid our current water bill for 13 years. Life of fake grass: 10. I don’t know what the local zoning says about planting vegetable gardens in your front yard but they do take water. And more to the point, I’m not called The Black Thumb of La Jolla for nothing. (We still joke about the $53 tomato.) And it wouldn’t give the tots any place to play. What we mostly don’t want to do is spend $20,000 or more putting in something that we’d want to take out again if the next diluvian phase begins. I have pictures of my front and side yards literally under eight inches of water in both the ’82-’83 and ’97-’98 El Niños. Just when you think it will never rain again, it sometimes does. (Like in 1991.)

The opposite of drought: the El Niño of 1982-83 Inga So for the time being, we’re planning to limp our weed patch along with minimalist watering. It may well turn brown. It’s not ideal, but we remind ourselves that the grandtots can still cavort on dead grass. Olof and I could still read outside with facemasks in our little dustbowl-to-be. Granddog Winston would probably be thrilled as grass makes his paws itch anyway. And just so you understand how seriously we are taking this, Olof has engaged in the ultimate act of water conservation. He’s no longer putting ice in his Scotch. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

When Claude (Joel Hatch) belts outs “Welcome to Newfoundland,” it’s a clear picture of what the arrivals can expect in this small town; to be sure “It’s the farthest place you will get from Disneyland!” Casting is superb. Geno Carr plays several characters in the story, the town police officer among them, and he has a great voice. Partners Colin 1 (Chad Kimball) and Colin 2 (Caesar Samayoa) make a huge discovery about their lives while in Gander. Lana (Q Smith) is anxious to hear about her firefighter son in New York. Janice (Allison Spratt Pearce) is a novice news reporter caught off-guard in this unexpected situation. Beverley (Jenn Colella) is a female pilot whom passengers rely on for answers. But who could explain this event or what’s next to come? Beulah (Astrid Van Wieren) is a local

who jumps in to arrange food and logging for the newcomers. Diane (Sharon Wheatley) and Nick (Lee MacDougall) come from two different worlds, but during this uncertain time they find a bond. Animals are often on planes as well, and Bonnie (Petrina Bromley) discovers a big surprise when she elects to look after them. Bob (Rodney Hicks) must overcome his distrust of the situation. “Come from Away,” is a fantastic production and reminder that from horrific events may come rescues, compassion, love and heartfelt connections that create lifelong bonds. u n IF YOU GO: “Come from Away” runs through July 12 at La Jolla Playhouse’s Potiker Theatre, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, on the UC San Diego campus.

900 A.D.), they reached an estimated population of two million. Despite having no large wheels, horses or oxen, the Maya managed to erect stone buildings and monuments for the ruling class, surrounded by smaller homes for those who farmed, fished, traded or made goods, such as wood tools and weavings. They also developed an intricate writing system and were the only fully literate Native American people. “This New World was as complex as the Middle East or Europe,” explained Hager. “The Classic Period rivals Europe, the time of King Arthur in England, the Roman

Empire, when Mohammed was born and died. They were among the great cultures of the world, even if not as well known.” Many of the Maya who lived in coastal areas became excellent seafarers and maritime traders, according to Dominique Rissolo, an archeologist with the Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology at UCSD. “They were called the Phoenicians of the New World,” said Rissolo, who was a consulting subject matter expert for the Maya exhibit. Rissolo has spent 20 years studying the caves and sinkholes that are prominent in the coastal region and that

the Maya used for rituals and fresh water. In approximately 900 A.D, many Maya began migrating away from the large cities. By the time the Spanish arrived in the 1600s, the Maya culture had survived, but most Mayans were living in small villages. The Spaniards had no idea that great cities lay under the vast tropical forests. It wasn’t until the 1830s that explorers began uncovering them. There is still much to learn and many questions to answer. For example, what caused the Maya to leave? Was it a collapse, as it has been called, or a series of events?

“The Maya culture has always fascinated me,” said Hager. “It was a very advanced society, with multiple calendars that intersected (including lunar and solar), advanced mathematics, great astronomers, excellent craftsmen, beautiful designers and spiritual beliefs.” The earliest Maya settled around 1800 B.C. in what is now the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, as well as the Central American countries of Belize, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. During their golden era, or what is called the Classic Period (250 A.D to

Most likely the latter, said Hager. “There was a huge population, overused natural resources, deforesting, soil depletion, drought and warfare. Something, like a slight variation of climate, tipped the balance. It happened everywhere, even Iceland. There is a lesson in this for us, that if we are at the edge of our resources, even a slight variation of climate can tip the balance.” Hager said he hopes families on both sides of our border will come and enjoy learning about the Maya and maybe budding archaeologists will be inspired. All parts of the exhibit are in English and Spanish, and in keeping with school curriculum for all grade levels. The exhibit includes 238 genuine artifacts, including vases, vessels, plates, incense burners, masks, figurines, clothing, jewelry, an inkwell and a rubber ball. The Maya loved their ball games and in some, the losers were sacrificed. Other instructive elements of the exhibit include videos and interactive activities such as exploring a tomb, deciphering glyphs (language symbols), understanding Maya math and astronomy, building an arch, and exploring temple walls, altars and monuments. Up to 60 team members contributed to developing and setting up the exhibit. “I was very impressed with how everything is communicated,” said Rissolo. “Complex topics have been made accessible in very innovative ways.” As both he and Hager explain, the mysteries of the ancient Maya are still being unraveled, while an estimated 6 to 8 million modern Maya survive today. “The Maya did not disappear, they

continue to flourish and continue their traditions into the present day,” said Rissolo. “They are so much alive today in Central America and Mexico and live in ways not dissimilar in architecture, ideology, world view — a living tradition.” u

Manly foods for all ages and stages

en as a subspecies generally have different moving and non-moving parts than women, along with thought processes and stress coping mechanisms. These need to be fueled by specific nutritional requirements. With Father’s Day around the corner, here’s a primer on the best foods for all dads, whether young and strapping or elderly and spry. And yes, real men do each quiche (made with free-range organic eggs, of course). n Power Tools for 20s and 30s: Young men need to maintain their muscle mass and high-energy levels to keep pace with the stresses of college, launching a career and chasing active toddlers. Twentysomethings usually eat on the fly, and typically don’t get enough fruits and veggies (corn chips and ketchup don’t count). Bananas have a lot of appeal as they are portable and give a quick energy boost, along with a motherlode of potassium and Vitamin B-6 to temper the nerves, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, and amp up the immune system (particularly important when exposed to little human Petri dishes). n Hammer & Chisel for 40s: As men reach their 40s, metabolism decreases, and the body is not as forgiving as decades before when pizza, beer and bratwursts were the default foods causing little or no collateral damage. Consequently, weight gain hits at this stage, along with type 2 diabetes and cardiac risks. Healthy food choices are key at this juncture, but that doesn’t mean he has to feel deprived. Depending upon activity levels, a man in his 40s should ideally consume between 2,200 and 3,000 calories a day. Lean poultry (turkey or chicken breast), whole grains (brown rice, whole-wheat breads and pastas), along with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables will provide protein, mineral and vitamin requirements for balance, energy, stamina and weight control. This is also the age burdened with stressful career and financial demands, along with teenage hormonal insanity in the household, translating to an increased risk of high blood pressure. Swap out sodium in dishes and replace

with savory herbs and spices from parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme to chili, turmeric, cayenne, cinnamon and ginger. There’s more. Men at this stage should also boost lutein intake, including dark leafy greens, especially kale and spinach, and egg yolks to ward off age-related macular degeneration and cataracts common in later years. n Nuts and Bolts for 50s: As men chug into their 50s, the prostate swells and libido shrinks. For the former, lycopene powerhouses, including tomatoes, watermelon and guava are warriors for helping to put the skids on prostate cancer. This Herculean antioxidant also protects against notorious pancreatic cancer, more common in men than women. Cooking tomatoes releases even more lycopene than eating them raw, so make a pot of mighty marinara. And since lycopene is also fat-soluble, eat it with some healthy fat, like a drizzle of olive oil or buffalo mozzarella. As for the latter problem, many choice foods have been found to rev up sex drive, including spinach, tea and mutli-purpose watermelon, a behemoth beauty that not only dials up prostate health, but recent studies have shown it to be Mother Nature’s Viagra packed with citrulline, a phytonutirient that relaxes blood vessels similar to the little blue pill. n Vintage Parts for 60 and olders: Guys over 60 should eat optimally to keep the heart humming, brain cells and joints well-lubed, and the constitution regular. Amp up omega-3 fatty acids. Best sources come from cold-water fish, especially wild caught salmon, herring and sardines along with shellfish and vegetarian sea treasures, such as various seaweeds. Men at this stage should also fiber up with at least 50 grams a day. This will not only get the colon to function smoothly, but also lower cholesterol levels, and the risk of developing heart disease and assorted cancers. u — For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Summer brings two new exhibits to the Athenaeum From Athenaeum Reports

The work of two Southern California artists — Alexis Smith (in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery) and Lynn Susholtz (in the Rotunda Gallery) — will be on display June 20-July 25 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. The public is invited to the opening reception 6:30-8:30 p.m., Friday, June 19. n Chandlerisms by Alexis Smith Smith will cover the gallery walls with quotations from novelist and Hollywood screenwriter Raymond Chandler collaged with her own imagery. It will not be the first time she has used the words of authors in combination with her imagery. She has produced work related to Thomas Mann, Gertrude Stein, Walt Whitman, F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Dos Passos. Smith has been working on her minimal mixed media she refers to as “Chandlerisms” since 1978 and has collected nearly 300 phrases. Smith of Los Angeles, earned a bachelor’s degree at University of California, Irvine, and has held solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA); the Brooklyn Museum; Centre Georges Pompidou; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). Her works are in the permanent collections of numerous institutions, including MoMA, the Whitney, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the High Museum of Art, MOCA, Santa Barbara

Susholtz employs a strong social engagement component that blends the virtual and physical community. “I am interested in retro-techification, the intersection of ancient technologies and the repurposing of information, helping to render information and technology useless and simultaneously more meaningful,” she writes of her work.

You’ll have serious game! “I have been using the La Jolla Wellness Studio for nearly 3 years. The exercise that I get in a 25-30 minute session is all I need to maintain my physical well-being. I went to other gyms for most of my adult life, but I must say that I am able to reach my maximum stress level at the Wellness Studio in a fraction of the gym time. I am in my mid 70’s now and my golf game remains as good as it was 10-15 years ago. My weight is lower, my flexibility is better and my strength remains good. I usually go 4-5 sessions a week. The concept is quite interesting and I must say that I am hard put to understand how it works, but it just does. I tell all of my friends to give it a try. Most however are skeptical. That’s to be expected. But, just give it a try. You’ll be impressed with the program.” -Barry Keeling

San Diego mourns passing of philanthropist Sally B. Thornton

ccomplished businesswoman and philanthropist Sally Bullard Thornton died Friday, June 12 at UC San Diego Medical Center. She had suffered a seizure and lay in a coma for six weeks before her passing. She was 81. A fourth-generation San Diegan, Mrs. Thornton worked tirelessly to support the community she loved. A $5 million donation by her and her husband in 1989 led to the naming of UCSD’s Thornton Hospital. Through the years she sat on the boards of many nonprofits and was a consummate chairwoman of fundraising galas and luncheons. The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County, Women’s International Center, United Cerebral Palsy of San Diego County and the Sally B. Thornton Foundation, which supports scores of charitable organizations, were just a few of the beneficiaries of her energy and talent. In 2001, she was named National Patriot of the Year by the Freedoms Foundation. “Sally was active in everything,” her husband, John M. Thornton, said Saturday. “She was a perfectionist. She worked to be the best she could be at whatever she was doing. She had a very quick mind.” He said she best loved raising funds for nonprofits involving children, music, art and food. In such roles, she was photographed countless times and pictured in the La Jolla Light. Social-life photographer Margo Schwab took a moment to comment on her friend, “Smart with razzle dazzle, spunky, feisty,

elegant, involved. Just a few descriptions that come readily to mind when I think of Sally. She had a big heart for San Diego causes and an ability to welcome the edgy. Unknown to most, I will never forget the time she called and wanted me to go with her to a naked art (aka live tattoo art exhibition) in Oceanside … she thought it was the coolest thing ever! ... Everyone should have a little of that joie de vivre, or what I would term ‘Sally-essence’ in their lives.” Social-life photographer Vincent Andrunas said, “While always very much

her own person, Sally Thornton attracted a great number of friends and admirers. She will be profoundly missed by those who knew her well, and also by many who never got the chance to meet her but whose lives were made better by her benevolence. The world will go on, but many people are asking, ‘What will we do without Sally?’” She served at various times on the boards of Micom Systems, Mitek Systems, Solectek, and as chair of Medical Materials Corp. The Thorntons have homes in Point Loma and La Jolla.

John Thornton, who served as president and chairman of the many high-tech firms where his wife was seated on the boards, said they enjoyed their business trips together, and his wife would often combine them with a chance to indulge in the latest fashion designs. Mrs. Thornton was born to Dr. Orlan and Lucinda Bullard. Dr. Bullard was credited with being the first dentist in the United States to use intravenous anesthesia to perform oral surgery. As a child, Mrs. Thornton accompanied her father on hunting and fishing trips and became a champion equestrienne, her husband said. She entered her first horse show at age 4 and through her teenage years to young adulthood won San Diego County championships showing five-gaited horses. She attended Stephens College for women in Missouri. She met John Thornton, then a Naval officer, at a friend’s wedding reception. He recalled that when he met her, he thought, “What a beauty!” They married in 1955 and had two sons, Mark and Steve. When her husband left the Navy and attended Harvard Business School, she took courses there also. Mark Thornton, a racecar driver and musician, passed away in 1993. Steve Thornton is president of the Thornton Winery in Temecula, which the family took over from the Culbertson family in 1987. u — From La Jolla Light and The San Diego Union-Tribune staff

Art students ‘Meet the Masters’ to beautify La Jolla High building

tudents in Carol Shamrock’s third-period AP Studio Art class, with help from PTA parent and artist Jane Wheeler, created a campus public art project at La Jolla High School called “Meet the Masters.” It features works by Matisse, Dali, Warhol, Lichtenstein and Haring installed on the walls of the 500 Building to teach students about these famous “masters” as they cruise the hallways between classes. Students teamed up to recreate large-scale works from the eras of Abstract Impressionism (1930s) to Pop Art (1950s). Working collaboratively over two weeks to create the installation throughout the building, they rolled a fresh coat of paint on the walls for the “new look,” and painted black frames to finish off the artwork. A biography of the artist with his/her photo and the names of the students who recreated the art will hang next to each painting. The PTA funded the project, which was designed to create a dynamic and inspirational environment for students/ teachers/staff in the 500 building; showcase student talent, and teach about public art, transformation of space, and how to complete a large scale project by working with an artist from the community. Students involved include Katie Chapman, Delaney Dickenson, Sophia Eliopulos, Olivia Barone, Charlie Mann, Madeline Gates, Louise Xu, Renee Yedidsion, Marlene Gonzales, Chloe Luyties, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alexander, Stephanie Foster, Rebecca Ryan, Zane Stanley and Daniela Anastasi. u — Jane Wheeler

A monarch caterpillar hanging out on a plant in Mary Ellen Morgan’s garden From Monarch Butterflies, B1 As caterpillars, they continue to eat the milkweed plant before they enter the pupa stage and hang from the plants — or whatever else is stable and nearby — as the caterpillars envelope themselves in a chrysalis, where they remain until they

emerge as a butterfly. Marriott said that because the caterpillars eat the leaves off the plant, milkweed needs to be repurchased and replanted annually. He noted that different plants will attract different types of butterflies. Passionflower vines, for example, can be a host plant for a black-and-yellow striped butterfly, called the

zebra longwing, and checkered white. For those who want to foster monarchs, he advises obtaining the milkweed from a source that does not spray them with pesticides because some nurseries spray milkweed to prevent other bug species from latching on, and those pesticides can kill the caterpillars.

Morgan said she doesn’t use pesticides on her yard because of her dogs. In late May this year, she reported 50 caterpillars on her plants, several of which have since entered the chrysalis stage. So, if you see a monarch butterfly floating around La Jolla in the coming weeks, it may have come from Morgan’s garden! u

Divorce the Easy Way “Love is a many splendered thing”, as the romantic 1955 movie adorns, and we all have fantasies about meeting “the one” and spending the rest of our lives in marital bliss. Two beautiful young people dancing in elegant clothes down the aisle to a life of dreams and eternal happiness. There is a whole industry that supports this fantasy. Advertisers and the entertainment world actively promote this idea because the concept sells. I recall many years ago, a former college friend and his stunningly beautiful wife confidently, with a bit of arrogance, snubbed

me in a conversation with their proclamations that they only socialize with other married couples, and a couple I wasn’t. Their professionally decorated home reflected a lifestyle of “togetherness and fulfillment”, or at least the fantasy, a fantasy that split apart amid accusations of “this and that” a few years later. Sadly for them their attempt at recreation of marital fantasy was repeated more than once and I note from their Facebook profiles, they are single once again. Divine justice over the snub I admit. These days we attempt to sanitize the word “divorce” with the words “marriage dissolution” or, as one family law counselor realistically chided, a cash cow reality for his office with retainers beginning at $ 3,500.00! The current divorce rate exceeds 50% nationwide so it is apparent that some fantasies should be tempered with reality and if marriage is an investment, with the statistical reality of a 50% + failure rate, should bring some introspective observation of motivations and financial preparedness

such as Prenuptial Agreements and personal counseling as a beginning. In short, marriage is about love and divorce is about money. Having counseled and processed over three hundred divorce actions in six years, my overwhelming encouragement is to keep it simple, keep it peaceful and keep it cheap! Agree to disagree, work together, be fair and move on as our God-Divine Being, if we have one does not reward those for suffering in an arrangement that isn’t happy. Perhaps keeping it cheap is the biggest challenge for some. Using a paralegal can be the perfect choice for those who come to prior agreements, meaning the divorce petition is uncontested – unchallenged. Community property and debt issues are agreed to before the petition is prepared. In this scenario, personal emotions and fears can be diluted and the financial ending can be handled very inexpensively and drama free. Divorce – marriage dissolution – is not the end, rather a beginning of a new life and a fresh start and the time for completion,

rejuvenation, healing and reinvention. But the methods chosen for handling this can be summarized by one prominent and astute family law attorney, “you can either do it the easy way or the hard way. The easy way requires one check and the hard way requires the whole checkbook.” How do you want to proceed?

How well do you know San Diego?

he revised and updated fifth edition of “San Diego: An Introduction to the Region,” by Philip Pryde is a must-read for insights on America’s Finest City. Pryde is a SDSU professor emeritus, who taught environmental policy for 32 years. First published in 1976, the 360-page book explains the geologic processes that shaped the county; its Native American beginnings; climate, soils, vegetation, wildlife, mineral and agricultural resources; transportation corridors and recreational facilities; the evolution of its cityscape and surrounding communities; transformation of the border; and future plans for the region. $27.95, Sunbelt Publications, sandiegoregionbook.com Our favorite excerpt: “La Jolla is often perceived as San Diego’s most distinctive community (in fact, many erroneously think it’s a separate city).”

Author has tips for dads with special needs children

“F

athering a special needs child requires inner strength, patience and extraordinary love for one’s son or daughter. Often times, these amazing dads are overlooked for their contributions,” said Deanna Picon author of “The Autism Parents’ Guide to Reclaiming Your Life.” She has this advice for such dads and a wish for their success throughout the year: n 1. Manage your health. It’s important to take care of yourself, especially with everything on your plate. Make time to eat properly, get at least six hours of sleep and exercise. Hitting the gym is an effective way to work off stress and stay fit. Even a simple walk around the neighborhood can clear your mind. n 2. Be yourself. Don’t allow your child’s disability to define you. Like any parent, much of your life is going to be centered on your children, but that doesn’t mean you should completely abandon the activities and events you enjoy.

n 3. Give yourself permission to enjoy. Don’t feel guilty for having a good time, even if it’s only once in a while. Ask a friend or relative to watch your child for a

few hours, so you can shoot some pool with your buddies, go on a fishing trip. It will be beneficial to unload the weight of your responsibilities for a short time. n 4. Reward yourself. Appreciate the little things in your life each week, like inviting the guys over to watch the game or for a cookout. n 5. Take a bow! You stepped up and accepted the challenges of raising a child with special needs. Because of your determination and advocacy, your son or daughter will have a better life. That’s something worth patting yourself on the back about. u
