New goal for Cove lifeguard tower: July or August By ASHLEy MACKiN The completion date for construction of the La Jolla Cove lifeguard tower was pushed back once again to, ideally, the end of this month. Originally scheduled to be complete in December 2014, unforeseen delays initially pushed its completion date to March 2015. Now Myrna Dayton, deputy director of field engineering with the city of San Diego’s public works department, is saying the tower should be complete by late July or early August. The new tower will be 80 square feet with a steel frame and wood siding on a concrete, cantilevered base. The $1.85 million cost is being funded by the use of deferred capital bonds and development impact fees (it is unknown exactly how much the delays will add to the cost of the project).

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JuLy 9, 2015 - Page a3

From LiFeguard Tower, a1 An access ramp to the mid-level landing overlooking the Cove will be installed. Also, new benches will be added at the mid-level area with storage cubbies for swimmers. Delays such as miscalculation of leadtime, project components that had to be reworked, events at the Cove and a last minute project addition extended the duration of work. APR Construction, Inc. is the contractor on the project. Addressing lead-time, the time between the initiation and the execution of a project, Dayton said, “Every lifeguard station is unique, and when ordering specialized material for a unique project, you have (to consider) lead-time. Sometimes materials associated with this project take eight to 12 weeks to order and the contractor was not familiar with the long lead-time.” As such, more time was spent than expected, and scheduled for, waiting for materials. Additionally, Dayton said some components were not completed to the city’s standards, or unrealistic plans were drawn up, and had to be reworked. Chiefly, she said, the contractor originally wanted to use the sea bluffs as a shoring mechanism to support the cantilever base. “Once the contractor got out there and started building the cantilever, they realized they could not use the sea bluffs the way they had assumed they could. So, the contractor hired a structural engineer to come up with a shoring mechanism that would work. In all, completing this task took approximately three weeks, consequently delaying the remaining tasks in the critical path.” Construction on the tower was also put

A concept rendering of the new 80-squarefoot La Jolla Cove lifeguard tower Courtesy on pause for the few days surrounding the Fourth of July fireworks display in 2014, and the Challenged Athletes Triathlon Challenge in October 2014, both of which heavily utilize the Cove and adjacent Scripps Park. The addition to the original project plans involved glazing the windows to prevent glare or view distortion, which happened with the new La Jolla Shores tower. When it was first constructed in summer 2013, it was determined that at certain times of day, during certain months, the angle and type of glass first used for the La Jolla Shores lifeguard tower created “ghost images” of people appearing to be on one side of the beach when they are actually at another. Additional glare inhibited the guards’ ability to see. Ensuring that a similar complication does not occur at the Cove, Dayton said, “We wanted to make sure we had the right

tinting and glazing on the windows for the observation tower. That was not part of the original contract because it was something we found out about in La Jolla Shores (after the contract was written).” To complete construction in according with its latest schedule, the project was granted a waiver to the summer construction moratorium. “We weren’t anticipating needing to get one, because of the previous March deadline, but we really want to get that project done,” Dayton said. “After talking to the city council and various community groups, we decided to move forward and request the waiver.” In the meantime, additional temporary lifeguard towers were placed to the west of where the new structure will sit. “We wanted to over-accommodate,” she said.

Children’s Pool tower Less than half a mile away, the lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool is also under construction. Two years after its demolition, City staff are now saying the tower should be complete by the end of the year. “We want the entire project complete and to have lifeguards moved in by Dec. 15, in advance of the pupping season,” Dayton said. Rather than pause for the summer moratorium, work on the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower must halt for the harbor seal pupping season, recognized Dec. 15 to May 15 annually. After the tower’s July 2013 demolition, work was suspended Dec. 15, 2013 to May 15, 2014 and again Dec. 15, 2014 to May 15, 2015. The original intent was to have the exterior completed between May and December 2014, so interior work could

continue through the 2014-2015 pupping season. However, a variety of issues caused repeated delays during working months. None of the issues that previously hindered construction are expected at this time, including: being heavily reliant on material deliveries, resolved by ordering them in advance; a discrepancy in the floor elevation that was discovered, requiring a redesign; and a nesting seagull chick discovered on site. “Right now, we are on track but you never know with construction what might pop up, but right now we don’t have any unforeseen issues or delays,” Dayton said.

Children’s Pool Walk Once construction on the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower is complete, plans can proceed on the privately organized Children’s Pool Beautification Walk project. Spearheaded by La Jollan Phyllis Minick, the project entails replacing and improving the sidewalk area above Children’s Pool. Although the hope was to have the beatification project done concurrently with the lifeguard tower, organizers are now being told it will have to wait until the tower is complete. “The project has been awarded $430,000 construction dollars by the city,” in addition to the amount privately raised, Minick said at a recent La Jolla Parks and Beaches advisory group meeting. “The entire project is now in the Public Works department preliminary engineering phase, at which point it will be reviewed for final cost and … The full construction schedule follows that.” The project is scheduled to be completed in mid-2016. u

In attendance and taking note of the group’s concerns were San Diego Planning Commission Chair Tim Golba and Barbara Bry and Joe LaCava, both of whom are running to replace Sherri Lightner next year on the San Diego City Council (LaCava is also second vice-president of the LJCPA and chair of its overarching La Jolla Community Planners Committee).

(Other members of the committee who were not able to attend include LJCPA trustee Jim Ragsdale and attorney Glen Rasmussen). Having both been involved in the planning process as city employees, Kane and Liera began by underscoring the importance of adhering to the city’s often lengthy process, and of obtaining community consensus. As such, the ad hoc group is inviting community members and

remodels are not being used as originally intended, but as a workaround to build the largest possible home on a lot — a planning issue commonly referred to as “mansionization.” Of particular concern to the group is the city’s 50 percent rule (referred to by some as the 51 percent rule). It allows the owners of homes near the coast seeking approval for a renovation or addition a “categorical exemption” to bypass a coastal development permit and the standard community review process — if the project retains more than 50 percent of the house’s existing walls. The applicant may then obtain an over-thecounter (ministerial) permit, which does not allow the community to review the project

and provide feedback. “Categorical exemptions have unintended outcomes,” said ad hoc committee member Angeles Liera, a longtime La Jollan and retired City of San Diego community planner. “I have seen (La Jolla) change — some things for the best; some things for the worst. … (but) those categorical exemptions were designed for modest additions … (someone who) wanted to add a room to a house. They were not designed for tearing down the house and building another house that is four or even five times bigger than the original house.” Other members of the ad hoc committee in attendance included Bird Rock resident Sharon Wampler, who brought the issue to the attention of the LJCPA last year (more at

many buyers do move to obtain more square footage, but trulia research recently reported that 67% of house shoppers weren’t motivated by a quest for more space. they were seeking: views, walk ability to nearby shops, restaurants & movies, quieter locations, remodeled homes, more prestigious neighborhoods, gated communities and some were just downsizing. When looking for a new home, sometimes it is a good idea not to disqualify a home just because the square footage is less than you think you need. some floor plans with less hallways and smaller foyers can offer more living space than homes stating a higher square footage. if the house is in a neighborhood you like and the style seems appealing, maybe you should take a look and make sure you are not missing the house of your dreams.

Williams cited as one of the most flagrant developers of large, boxy “McMansion” houses in Bird Rock and La Jolla. Williams said she became concerned with the issue when Tourmaline Properties — whom she characterized as a “home flipper” — tore down an older house next door to her two years ago, and rebuilt a much larger one, utilizing the 50 percent rule. “We have done some research and, using the categorical exemption, they’ve bought, remodeled and flipped, or are in the process of flipping, close to 19 houses in San Diego in the past two years, that we’re aware of — eight of which have been in Bird Rock,” Williams said, adding that she believes the 50 percent rule should only be offered to “long-term homeowners who are (seeking) a

Light FiLe legitimate addition,” and not to developers or home flippers. “They are literally turning out one house a month — and I think it is absolutely a shame,” she said. However, both LaCava and Kane noted that the city views each applicant, whether a homeowner or developer, equally. The most efficient way to effect a desired change is to seek amendments or revisions to current zoning or the La Jolla Community Plan, they advised. A resident of Taft Avenue in Bird Rock

attending the meeting said he doesn’t view La Jolla as having “one unique character or as stagnant,” noting that on his street there are as many as six construction projects currently taking place. “We’ve got little, pointed roof cottages, modern structures and Spanish contemporary colonial,” he said. “At some point my family wants to put a little structure on our house and I just want to make sure we can still, hopefully, do it.” Another resident, of Waverly Avenue, said

La Jollans like herself are not contesting development, but the process of how it’s being approved by the city and carried out by some developers. “There are lots of homes that are two-story in Bird Rock that are done very well,” she said. u n To read the rest of this story, visit lajollalight.com n For the time and date of the next ad hoc committee meeting, or for coverage of the LJCPA’s July 2 meeting, pick up a copy of the July 16 edition of La Jolla Light.

Board hears plans for speed limit changes, parking removal La Jolla Traffic and Transportation

By Ashley MAckin La Jolla’s Traffic and Transportation advisory board — which is tasked with reviewing all proposals affecting La Jolla’s streets — heard a bevy of proposals during its June 25 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. While some items were up for a vote, the majority were informational only, and many of those presenters will return to a future T&T meeting with an update.

Removing Coast Boulevard Parking

Slowing traffic on Via Capri The configuration of a traffic circle in the Hidden Valley area of La Jolla is contributing to a problem of drivers speeding through the neighborhood, say Via Capri residents. Specifically, the traffic circle on Via Capri at Senn Way, that has become a bypass for speedy drivers. Nearby resident Joe Dicks said drivers heading eastbound on Via Capri encounter the traffic circle, which is slightly straighter on the north side to allow emergency vehicles to easily pass and to reflect traffic patterns. However, instead of circling

Due to its Via capri’s unusual configuration, motorists bypass this traffic circle and drive in the lane of opposing traffic to avoid having to slow down. Ashley MAckin around in the direction of traffic, they bypass the circle and drive in the lane of opposing traffic. To remedy the problem, Dicks suggested the city install pylon poles or a speed hump. Pylon poles, he explained, are approximately four-foot plastic poles that could be installed down the middle of the street as much as 50 feet in advance of the traffic circle, with an opening for those wanting to turn onto Senn Way. According to the Federal Highway Administration, “Speed humps are raised sections of pavement that are placed across the street to force motorists to travel at reduced speeds. Speed humps have a more gradual slope than traditional speed bumps, which are often found in parking lots. Speed humps are more effective at slowing traffic than speed bumps because the driver actually benefits from traveling at slower speeds. Speed bumps typically jar the motorist regardless of speed.” Abrams said he would gather feedback

from the fire department as to whether they would be amenable to a speed hump.

Proposal to decrease speed limit At the request of UC San Diego officials, a proposal was put forth to reduce the speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour on the downhill portion of La Jolla Shores Drive, from North Torrey Pines Road to El Paseo Grande. The affected section of La Jolla Shores Drive predominantly winds through the portion of campus where Scripps Institution of Oceanography is located. Anu Delouri with UCSD’s department of physical and community planning said the speed reduction request is in an effort to improve safety for pedestrians and cars entering from Downwind Way. In February, T&T heard this same proposal, but at the time UC San Diego was also requesting a lighted, blinking pedestrian intersection. As a compromise, the city installed two high-visibility “pedestrian crossing” signs and restriped

After presenting her project to La Jolla Parks and Beaches advisory board during its June meeting, Whale View Point Project chair Ann Dynes came before T&T to introduce her plan to remove parallel parking on the west side of Coast Boulevard, between the Cobblestone climbing wall and its 200 block. Dynes said removing parking would open up the view for drivers, walkers and bicyclists. To avoid a net loss of parking spaces, she is suggesting installing diagonal back-in spaces on the east side of Coast Boulevard, which is one-way.

“Ultimately I would like to have support from this board to ask the city to do a traffic study,” she said. “The study results might say you can’t change the parking, but unless we get the city to do that study, we’ll never know.” “That side of Coast Boulevard is beautiful and to eliminate cars there … would really be nice, but I think we need an answer from the city on that,” T&T member Tom Brady said. However, T&T member Cory Bailey argued that back-in parking would diminish visibility for cars entering the flow of traffic. “With back-in parking, the only way to know someone is entering traffic is if they are seen in the car. So, heaven forbid they have a SUV parked in front of them, you wouldn’t know (they’re exiting the space).” Declining to vote at the June meeting, T&T acting chair Dave Abrams advised Dynes to petition affected residents on the east side of Coast Boulevard to gather feedback and report at the next meeting.

the crosswalk. However, UC San Diego representatives are still hoping for additional traffic calming measures. “A lot of the cars driving down on La Jolla Shores Drive are driving at a particular speed and the cars coming in from Downwind Way are mostly trying to make a left turn and many times they are dodging traffic coming down (La Jolla Shores Drive),” she said. “While that is going on, every now and then, there is an accident or a near miss in the pedestrian crosswalk, but many have not been reported because they are near misses.” Eleven accidents were reported between September 2011 and September 2013. “The city said they are unable to support further safety measures … but the one that that can be done is speed enforcement,” Delouri said. As such, the city conducted a speed study for the area, but found that 85 percent of drivers are driving at approximately 31.8 miles per hour, relatively in conformance with the current speed limit. The results of that study were presented to T&T board members for review and consideration. Justin Garver, field representative for City Council President Sherri Lightner, said the city determined no additional safety measures were warranted, based on the speed study. Additionally, members of the audience commented that the street is a thoroughfare for university students, and that they will drive as fast as they feel they can, making any speed reduction a moot point. A motion to keep the speed limit at 30 miles per hour passed.

San Diego Triathlon Challenge Kristine Entwistle, senior director of events

for the Challenged Athletes Foundation Triathlon Challenge, presented to request the street closures affiliated with the event, which raises funds for adaptive athletic equipment for those with disabilities. The event is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 18. The one-mile swim, 44-mile bike course and 10-mile run each begin and end at La Jolla Cove, with subsequent festivities at Scripps Park. Approximately 800 athletes participate, but around 2,000 volunteers and supporters are expected for the event. The event requires Coast Boulevard — from where it splits from Prospect Street and along Scripps Park — be closed, and a one-lane closure on Torrey Pines Road for the bike ride. Given there were no complaints in previous years and there are no changes to this year’s course or protocol, a motion to support the required street closures passed unanimously.

In other T&T news At its July meeting, T&T will vote for its next chair, vice-chair and secretary, that will serve for one year. Nominations were collected during the June meeting. Abrams was nominated for chair, members Michelle Fulks and Bailey were nominated for vicechair, and Van Inwegan and Donna Aprea were nominated for secretary. Any member of the charter community groups that have representation on the T&T board — Bird Rock Community Council, La Jolla Town Council, La Jolla Village Merchants Association, La Jolla Community Planning Association and La Jolla Shores Association — may vote.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Police issue 50 underage drinking citations at Barber Tract beach

o keep an eye on La Jolla Barber Tract beaches — specifically Marine Street beach, which has recently become a hub for parties, public drinking and drug use — San Diego Police’s Beach Team Officers have been out in force since mid-June. San Diego Police Officer Larry Hesselgesser said he is preparing for an influx of underage drinking. In a report Hesselgesser posted last month on the Barber Tract page of nextdoor.com (a website devoted to neighborhood goings and public safety information), he said during the third week of June police issued 77 misdemeanor citations in the Barber Tract area, 50 of which were alcohol related. “An alarming trend has been the amount of underage drinking at the beach, particularly in La Jolla where Beach Team Officers normally do not have to direct much attention. (But recently) officers on ATVs and undercover have been writing citations on a daily basis,” Hesselgesser stated. He warned potential offenders: “A Minor in Possession ticket could mean you will lose your drivers license for one year or you could delay getting your license for one year. The message is simple! Do not bring alcohol to the beaches or bays. There is a high enforcement posture and you

could be issued a citation with a fine of $250 for your first offense and $500 for your second.” — Ashley Mackin

Meet La Jolla High’s new vice-principal: Cindy Ueckert n District to hire one more vice-principal By Pat Sherman La Jolla High School’s new vice-principal, Cindy Ueckert, says she is eager use her background in special education to help better meet the needs of all students at La Jolla High — particularly those who require more individualized instruction. “Much of what I’ve learned in special education I really think I can bring to the table for the whole school,” said Ueckert, who began her career with San Diego Unified School District 12 years ago, as a special education teacher at Morse High School in Southeast San Diego. “A lot of the things that work for special education students can also work for general education students,” Ueckert said, noting that, like special education students, some pupils in the general student population may learn differently than their peers, and require more individualized instruction. “Let’s say they’re a very visual learner and they need some visual supports in the classroom,” Ueckert posited. “That is something we can work with and provide for that student. … In special education, you develop a certain kind of flexibility with looking at different ways you can teach and bring instruction to students.” La Jolla High School Principal Chuck Podhorsky said Ueckert’s experience helping develop individualized education programs, or IEPs, is one of the strengths that made her a desirable candidate. “Whether you’re co-teaching a class for students with special needs or just looking at kids across the board, that’s the kind of teacher training we want to do — for teachers to better understand individual differences,” Podhorsky said. “We want to help all teachers have that lens.” After working at Morse High for two years, Ueckert got involved with the district’s Trace program, an educational support network that helps young adults with mental and physical disabilities ages 18 to 22 transition from high

La Jolla high School’s new vice-principal, Cindy Ueckert, is greeted by principal Chuck Podhorsky at the school July 1, just days after she was hired. Pat Sherman school to adult life. She worked with the Trace program until last fall, when she was hired as a project resource teacher for the district, supporting special education teachers in Scripps Ranch and La Jolla. Ueckert fills one of two vice-principal vacancies left by the departure of Anne McCarty, who accepted a position as principal of Lafayette Elementary School in San Diego, and Will Hawthorne, who takes the reins this fall as viceprincipal of Pershing Middle School in San Carlos. “I (recently) worked quite a bit with Anne McCarty,” Ueckert said. “I’ve been pretty active with Muirlands and Bird Rock this year and also with La Jolla High School … supporting special education teachers and also administrative teams. I think it’s very exciting to start building a team altogether (at La Jolla High). The timing is wonderful.” When it comes to discipline, Ueckert said she believes in making sure students have clear behavioral expectations. For each student who requires disciplinary action, she said she tries to look deeper for behavioral patterns, to see if there is

something else going on in the child’s life that may be triggering the behavior, requiring attention or intervention. Ueckert received her masters in special education from San Diego State University and, in 2013, her administrative credential from SDSU. Born and raised in San Diego, she graduated from Monte Vista High School in Spring Valley, and resides in Santee with her husband, two young children (a 5-year-old daughter and a son in second grade) and two dogs. “I’m an animal lover,” she said. “We have a German shepherd, Max, and a miniature pinscher, Peanut. We like to go camping and spend time outdoors. We also do archery as a family.” Ueckert enjoys classical British literature, and cites Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” as a favorite book, though in movies she said she prefers edge-of-your-seat thrillers. Principal Podhorsky, who joined the staff at La Jolla High last year, said a panel consisting of himself, one parent, one student, two teachers and the area superintendent interviewed Ueckert, and will continue interviewing candidates for the second vice-principal position. “We surveyed the Muirlands (Middle School) parents, our parents, the community and also our teachers — and from that we had a list of some really important criteria that we believed we should be looking for,” Podhorsky said. “We kind of went through the (candidate) pool with that lens. Cindy (Ueckert) also came highly recommended from the places she had worked for … and we knew she knew the needs of our community.” Podhorsky noted that Superintendent Cindy Marten makes all final hiring decisions. “Hopefully, we’re lucky enough to get a candidate in front of us who wants to be here that has all the great skills we’re looking for to move our school forward,” he said. “I anticipate to launch the school year with a second (vice-principal) … but if we don’t we’re going to continue (our search).” u

The Broken Yolk Café is breaking out of its San Diego shell! By Marti Gacioch ounded in 1979, The Original Broken Yolk Café in Pacific Beach is celebrating its 36th anniversary this year. Now the hometown favorite has grown to 16 locations throughout San Diego County, Mission Viejo, the City of Orange, Temecula, La Quinta, El Centro, Bakersfield and another just opened in Mesa, Arizona. Others are coming soon to Del Mar and to Florida. The Broken Yolk Café started franchising in 2007 when owners opened the Eastlake location in Chula Vista. After a 2009 feature on Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food” show

introduced the brand to millions of viewers outside Southern California, owner John Gelastopoulos said the phone was ringing off the hook from would-be investors and they sought help with a franchise expansion model. The Broken Yolk Café is known for quality, homemade breakfasts and generous portions, as well as lunches for a variety of tastes with its extensive menu. “Our primary focus will always be on serving high-quality food and giving each guest a great experience,” Gelastopoulos said. Among the best-loved breakfast items are

the Golden State Benedict, made to order omelets, Nutella crepes and refreshing mimosas. Lunch entrees like the Southwestern Chicken Wrap are popular along with homemade soups and salads. Every weekend there are lines out the door full of people seeking a good, homemade breakfast — and many know the Broken Yolk name from either living in San Diego or vacationing here. “Breakfast has been the fastest growing part of our business and our fresh, from-scratch cooking is a hit and available no matter where you live,” said Valerie McCartney,

Thieves spotted stealing from La Jolla mailbox

’m writing to provide a heads-up to fellow la Jollans. I saw my mail stolen from my box on Olivetas Avenue on a recent afternoon when a silver/gray BMW sedan driven by a young man pulled up. A young woman jumped out of the passenger seat, grabbed all my mail, and waving it happily to the driver, she hopped back in the car and they sped away. She was well dressed with stylish, straight, dark hair to her shoulders. I made a police report. I feel very violated. The police said they would send a report to prove to any creditors that my bills may have been stolen, should I have late fees because of this robbery. Name withheld by request

La Jolla High School reaps benefits from parent volunteers I appreciated seeing the piece honoring a few of the parent volunteers at la Jolla High School in the July 2 La Jolla Light. They well deserve the honor! la Jolla High has the best PTA anywhere! I was privileged to have five of the seven kids from these three families. All of their kids were great students at the high school. When I see Cal, Beth or Jane around the Village, I am always interested to know what their kids are doing because the connection has become personal. Together, teachers along with parents and their children, form a web of sorts in which we grow with one another. It makes me happy every time I consider the amazing futures for their children. With Katherine (Penny) graduating (she is an amazing actress/performer; I keep saying she’ll be on Broadway some day!) from uClA only weeks ago, and Tom (Wheeler) off in uganda to help bring them solar power, and Ryan (Mann) doing an internship for a solar energy company — I know that our coming generation is set to do good things. I am eager to hear what Charlie (Mann), Billy and Michael (Penny), and Kaitlin (Wheeler) put their minds to as they transition into college life and adulthood. We are all blessed to have parents like these working hard to enrich our students’ experiences! Howard Tenenbaum LJHS CHemiStry and aP environmentaL SCienCe teaCHer

SeaWorld’s nightly fireworks in the summer months are disturbing While we are considering extraneous and disturbing noise, let us also consider the fireworks at SeaWorld. Once again, we are at the start of a summer-long thunder of nightly fireworks. Currently they begin at 9 p.m. but will soon move to 10 p.m. The dogs bark, the children are awakened, while those anticipating an early night soon find the opportunity gone. Fireworks on the Fourth of July are one thing, but fireworks nightly are not. It would not be so bad if it happened just Saturday nights, but this three-months-long saga of nightly bangs and booms is beyond the pale. I happened to drive along SeaWorld Drive one evening just as the

A HAppy FourtH oF July Story

hen families gather and talk about old times their recollections of growing up, vacations and past holidays usually start out with “Remember the time …” These stories are gold. la Jolla’s popular Fourth of July gathering at Kellogg Park and fireworks over la Jolla Cove was enjoyed by many that night. One family in particular, took their six-hour journey from Tucson, Arizona “to escape the heat.” Alex Garcia, his wife, Mary Ann and their son Zeke, who is the youngest of three, said the travel to this popular Southern California spot every year. The family spent quality time building a 180 degree sand castle they named “G3” to capture their space at the beach. It was such a sight to see as everyone around were careful to not over step their boundaries. “This is what it’s all about” Alex said. The Garcia family plans on returning next year, but no telling exactly where they will go exactly, as they have been everywhere from Coronado to Imperial beach in their past years vacationing in Southern California.

fireworks began and it felt like the start of World War III. It is time to ask why this theme park is granted the right to disturb everyone in a 6-mile (or more) radius every night of the summer. Gillian Ackland

Why are trees being removed at Windemere? I’m a resident of Windemere, the community gate, and I’m really upset about what the association is doing with the trees here. In the past two years, they’ve cut down more than 20 trees and a lot of bushes they said they were old or a fire-risk. It is really ugly how it looks right now. At the entrance of the neighborhood they cut six ficus trees that were more than 20 years old and they’re suppose to replace them with palms. We need trees, not palms. Shouldn’t our association protect the trees? Martha Betancourt

Who chooses which homeless people get help? Although I was happy to see that Shauna has found a home in the June 25 La Jolla Light, I don’t feel that she merits a home in la Jolla. What does she bring to the community besides her ranting and swearing and obscene outfits? Children and adults alike are frightened of her. Am I the only one to think that she gives la Jolla a bad image? Shauna requires mental health assistance above all else. There are other deserving homeless people, such as Curtiss, who usually sits outside of Warwicks. He is courteous and draws beautiful artwork. He can discuss famous artists. But he is quiet and not in your face, so he doesn’t get the attention that Shauna receives. He told me that

he had to use $25 of his own money to take the bus downtown and pay for the shelter. We must get our priorities straight or are we just rewarding “celebrities”? Patricia Mlatac

La Jollans make a difference helping woman transition out of homelessness After a recent trip to Paris with my husband, Karrar, I was at home going through my La Jolla Light (I read every issue). As I got caught up on the status of proposed mixed-use projects, the sea lion issues, upcoming creative murals and so forth, I was struck by the articles on Shauna Smith and how Soul Wise Coaching, a group that helps women thrive while facing significant life transitions, is focusing on helping her transition off the streets after eight years of homelessness. I’m sure we have all seen Shauna around the Village and I’d always wondered what her story was. The efforts of this group combined with the Light’s coverage and ensuing financial support of the community reminded me of a telling quote I saw on one of the streets in Paris. The original quote read: “love is dead” and the revision is “love is not dead.” Being in the business of improving workplace cultures, it stood out to me that what these la Jollans are doing is not only helping a fellow person in need, it is at the same time helping shape a more caring culture in our community. Thank you to all who were involved and I look forward to seeing and participating in more of these “culture of caring” actions in the years to come. Sherry Nooravi, Psy.D.

She graduated from Tucson High School in 1950. Gail obtained both BA and MA degrees in education at Stanford University. She met her husband-to-be, John Redfern, on a summer vacation in La Jolla and they married in 1954. She taught at the Bishop’s

School, but later dedicated herself to raising her three children.

James Peter Gravendyk 1922 – 2015

James Peter Gravendyk passed away peacefully at home in La Jolla, California,

surrounded by loved ones on June 23, 2015. Jim was born to John and Dorothea Gravendyk on May 10, 1922. Upon the death of his father in 1935, Jim at age 14 was forced to pack up his mother, brother and sisters and with a special drivers license in hand, drove the family from Grand Rapids to Los Angeles in an aging Model A Ford. During WWII Jim, with his younger brother by his side, crisscrossed the Pacific in the service of the U.S. Merchant Marines. After the war Jim joined the Southern California Aircraft Industry. He and Joyce married and had two children, their son John, and later, daughter Jan. Jim and Joyce led an active social life from their home in Manhattan Beach, California. He was known for his wonderful sense of humor and love of family. They spent many happy times snow skiing, boating, bicycle riding, scuba diving and various equestrian pursuits involving the family horses. Upon retirement as a Chief Engineer from Northrop Aerospace Company, Jim (aka “Gravy”) relocated to Cambria, California, where he and his second wife, Marjanna, launched many travel adventures in their motorhome. After Marjanna’s passing, Jim continued to live in his

beautiful Cambria “home in the pines” and rode his bicycle with the Cambria Wheelmen well into his 80’s. In 2009, Jim moved to La Jolla, California, to be closer to his daughter, Jan. He immediately created new friendships with other active seniors and formed a very special bond with his companion and caregiver, Florenda, whom he referred to as “my angel.” Jim’s humor, quick smile, strength of spirit and faith never diminished throughout his 93 years. Jim is survived by his two children, John (Katherine) Gravendyk and Jan Cronin; granddaughters, Megan Gravendyk and her fiancé Jose Estrella, Lindsay (Joshua) Stevens and Amy (Christopher) Wilke; and great-granddaughters, Mia and Harper Stevens and Scarlett Wilke. He was preceded in death by his wives, Joyce Arcelia Gravendyk and Marjanna Freeman; sisters, Florence and Dorothy; brother, John; and granddaughter, Hillary.

Michael leaves behind three beautiful children, Sophia, Joseph and Anthony; their mother, Jessica; his mother, Betty; sister, Lisa; brother, Hector; and a big loud happy extended family of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, inlaws, out-laws and cousins that were a source of great love and happiness for him. He was preceded in death by his beloved father, Hector Nuñez Sr. Known by many as “Nuny,” Michael grew up in La Jolla and was a fixture at Windansea, a founding member of the Cosmic Rider skateboard crew and a proud member of the Windansea Rats. He found great joy in passing on the traditions of Windansea

to the next generation of young ocean rats coming up. Michael’s love of cooking and entertaining was legendary, and nothing made him happier than bringing friends and loved ones together for smiles and funny stories shared over his wonderful meals. Michael’s warmth and charm served him well in his business life as well, from his early days bussing tables at La Jolla’s landmark Su Casa to his long and successful career in industrial supply sales. The entire Nuñez family would like to thank everyone for the tremendous outpouring of love and support during this sad time. Michael’s friends have established a Memorial Fund in his honor to benefit his children.

By Pat Sherman The eyes of the world will be on San Diego as 1,400 athletes and coaches from 17 countries arrive to participate in the internationally televised 2015 Special Olympics World Games, which opens July 25 in Los Angeles. La Jolla is the official “Host Town” for 338 delegates from India, who will be participating in the Summer Games. Seven other San Diego communities are also hosting delegates. Special Olympics is the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. The nine-day event will include 7,000 athletes from 177 countries, competing in 25 events. It is expected to draw 500,000 spectators and will be broadcast live on ESPN.

Volunteers needed Volunteers, products and services are needed to help make delegates feel at home during their three-day stay in La Jolla, which begins July 21. La Jolla delegates will be rooming in UC San Diego residence halls; volunteers are needed to show them around San Diego and the Village. Activities include free trips to the San Diego Zoo and a San Diego Padres game. Local donors to the effort include La Jolla attorney Mark Krasner and wife, Angela,

The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics will kick off at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, July 18 at La Jolla Shores. During the event, an officer will accompany each Special Olympics’ athlete as they run the event’s Flame of Hope from the Shores beach to La Jolla Cove. The Flame of Hope was recently lit in Greece, the home of the Olympics, and traveled across the sea to the United States to communities throughout the country. It’s final destination is the Special Olympics opening ceremony at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. La Jolla Village Merchants Association is asking La Jollans to line the Torch Run route to show support for the athletes. The public is also welcome to run along behind the athletes to show their support. “They are just very happy people,” LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said. “When you see them in the Village, please be very gracious.” u

artist’s rendering of a new stadium complex and athletic field under construction at La Jolla high School Courtesy

One of the greatest feelings to experience is in the middle of an epic workout and all of a sudden you feel like you can conquer the world… or at least the rest of the day. That “runner’s high,” however, is sometimes hard to achieve on our own because we do not always have the motivation to hit the gym as hard as we could. For anyone out there who enjoys fitness, being pushed to -or slightly pasttheir limits, and loves feeding off the energy of other like-minded individuals, I have your solution. It is no secret that the latest fitness trend is fun, innovative, intense, high- calorie- burning classes. To help combat tighter schedules and deliver the ultimate bang for your buck, I am excited to announce the launch of La Jolla Sports Club’s first advanced group fitness class starting July 13th. Advanced Group Training has been designed by our top trainer and is not for the faint of heart. The staff has been testing out the class format for the past month, and it is safe to say that we all love it! At the end of the class, participants are so pumped up by their accomplishments that high fives are flowing and everyone is already prepping for the next workout. The perfect mix of comradery and competition is one of the driving factors that keep participants coming back regularly. Feeling the continuous improvement week after week is an invigorating and motivating feeling that delivers that elusive “runner’s high.” As our lives become busier and more distracted, it gets harder to find time to work out, which is a shame, as exercise is an amazing outlet for our increasingly hectic and stressful lives. Advanced Group Training is just what the doctor ordered for anyone who values their well-being. The inaugural class, starting July 13th, is just one of many new classes that will be appearing on the schedule. There is no extra fee to take these new classes as they are included with the monthly membership, so therefore there are no excuses. I challenge you to come and try a class and see if you don’t get addicted to them just like I have.

The approximately $12 million construction project includes upgrades to the school’s athletic stadium, including replacement of its synthetic turf field, resurfacing of the running track and construction of new stadium bleachers, a concessions building, weight room, boys’ locker room, stadium restrooms, additional storage space and accessibility improvements. Demolition and construction at the site may generate noise between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Impacts from demolition of the existing facilities, expected to continue through the

end of August, may also include dust, traffic and possible weekend construction. The work will be separated from the remainder of the campus and adjacent properties by screened fences, San Diego unified School District (SDuSD) officials said. The new facilities should be complete by fall 2016. Asked by a La Jolla Light reader why the track requires resurfacing, SDuSD communications supervisor Cynthia ReedPorter replied, “Even though precautions are taken to protect the existing track during construction, it’s anticipated that track will need to be resurfaced after all the construction activity associated with the stadium project.” She said resurfacing will extend the life of the track by another six to eight years, at a cost of $169,863. The school will concurrently spend between $200,000 and $1 million to repair its emergency communications system. u

helps 7-yearold give back

alon Elle in La Jolla recently provided a special haircut to a special 7-year-old girl wanting to help children needing hair replacement. Gabriella “Ella” Martinez of Spring Valley has thalassemia, a form of anemia that requires blood transfusions every two to three weeks for the rest of her life, which she currently gets at Rady Children’s Hospital. The blood is provided by the San Diego Blood Bank. see hAir donAtion, B3

By Will BoWen ne day Antonia Goltz’s daughter Jasmine came home from fourth grade with tears in her eyes. “What’s wrong?” asked her mother. “Oh Mommy, today in my California history class we learned the saddest story about how this lady named Josepha Carrillo had to elope on a sailing ship to South America so that she could marry Henry Delano Fitch, because the governor of California said they couldn’t get married.” Goltz looked at her daughter with wide eyes and gave her a big hug. “Oh, my little darling! Josepha and Henry were your great, great, great, grandparents. They are your family!” That was just one of the many heart-warming and inspiring stories told at the annual Descendants of Early San Diego meetings held in Old Town, June 26-28. see descendAnts, B6

From Hair Donation, B1

La Jolla Cultural Partners

“People help me by giving blood and I wanted to return the favor and give my hair to kids that don’t have any hair,” Ella told La Jolla Light. Ella’s mother, Erica Martinez, told La Jolla Light that during a hospital visit, a nurse told Ella she had beautiful hair, and that one day, she could donate it to a child that doesn’t have hair. “One day, the nurse brought out a little baby and said, ‘your hair could go to someone like this, so they could have hair.’ ” Ella loved the idea, but decided to wait until after her aunt’s wedding to get the big cut, her mother said. When ready, Ella had 12 inches of hair (2 feet when stretched out!) cut at Salon Elle by owner Erin Doumert. The hair was donated to Wigs For Kids, a nonprofit that provides hair to children who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, burns or other medical issues. Doumert said she has a couple of customers every month who donate their hair to a hair replacement program. “We offer a discount and send in the hair to the charity on your behalf,” Doumert said. Of the new ‘do, Ella said it was “weird” to suddenly have hair above her shoulders, after a lifetime of long hair. “I love to play with my new short hair, sometimes it feels like I still have long hair, so it’s weird now. It’s really weird to go to sleep with less hair,” she said. Inspired by her daughter’s good heartedness, Erica decided, in a last-minute decision, to also donate her hair. “Erin at Salon Elle looked at me after she cut Ella’s hair and said ‘do you want to cut yours too’ and I just went for it,” she said, noting that Doumert chopped more than 15 inches of hair off. Ella even helped cut off her mother’s ponytail. Since then, Erica has used the haircut as a conversation starter, so she can share her daughter’s story and encourage others to donate blood to the San Diego Blood Bank. David Wellis, CEO of San Diego Blood Bank, added, “Not many kids would be selfless enough to give up their own hair, and Ella provides us an excellent example of

White Elephants raise funds for art at La Jolla Garden Party By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt n the last Sunday in June, about 90 members and friends of the San Diego Museum of Art’s Contemporary Arts Committee (CAC) gathered for a garden party at the spacious home of a couple of La Jolla art-lovers (who prefer to remain anonymous.) The annual event puts the fun in fundraising by combining a tasty spread

of potluck dishes and wines with a highspirited white elephant auction, presided over by Coop Cooprider. This year, he was assisted by Suzanne Metz, a new-ish member who added her own brand of effervescence to the proceedings, working the crowd like a pro. The June Garden Party is one of the highlights of the CAC’s lineup of artful

happenings, which includes monthly meetings, talks by local artists and studio tours. Evey Solomon, one of a number of La Jollans who are longtime members of the group, talked about the CAC’s mission: “We try to make people more aware of how contemporary art can enrich your environment and your life,” she said. “Instead of buying another piece of furniture, buy a piece of

art! And if possible, support local artists. There are so many wonderful artists in San Diego.” “I was happy with the large turnout of art-minded people,” said CAC chair Robin Lipman, after the party was over. “Everyone seemed to connect, the food was great, the white elephants were a mixed bag of serious and silly, and no one fell in the pool.” sdmart.org/contemporary-arts-committee u

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus touts new season: ‘Soundscape San Diego’ From La JoLLa Symphony & ChoruS reportS

rum roll, please! The theme for the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus 20152016 concert season is “Soundscape San Diego: Exploration and Remembrance.” Highlights of the six-concert subscription series (with two free concert events) include three works by visiting composer John Luther Adams, including “Sila: The Breath of the World” to be performed in Balboa Park’s Japanese Friendship Garden 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27, and his 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning “Become Ocean”; a choreographed version of Igor Stravinsky’s “Persephone,” with Lux Boreal Dance Company of Tijuana; Michael Gordon and Bill Morrison’s haunting, multimedia depiction of early New York City, “Gotham”; and guest artists including pianists Aleck Karis and Lisa Moore, Alice Teyssier (as narrator in Persephone), and singers Janelle DeStefano and Darren Chase (son of choral director David Chase). “Starting with Adams’ Sila, going through the two pieces about the ocean (Adams and Debussy), two premieres by composers with San Diego connections, and pieces about remembering the end of the Second World War in a military town… ‘Soundscape San Diego: Exploration and Remembrance’ feels just right to me,” said Music Director Steven Schick. “The big thrust of the season will be to encourage people to listen to their environment. We’ll reflect that in programming on every concert.” The season runs March-June with Saturday concerts at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday concerts at 2 p.m. — all held in Mandeville Auditorium on UCSD campus. The season kicks-off with two free, nonsubscription events that are open to the public. Eighty LJS&C musicians will perform Adams’ site-determined work “Sila” Sept. 27 in the Japanese Gardens at Balboa Park. The 70-minute piece, performed in celebration of the park’s centennial year, has instrumental and choral musicians dispersed throughout the garden, encouraging audiences to what Adams describes as “ecological listening and a deeper relationship with the world we inhabit.”

Aleck Karis will be the soloist in Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1. The program concludes with John Luther Adams’ “Become Ocean,” which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music. “My hope is that the music creates a strange, beautiful, overwhelming–sometimes even frightening– landscape, and invites you to get lost in it,” said Adams. u n For the season schedule and tickets, call (858) 534-4637 or visit lajollasymphony.com

were soon joined by Europeans of all nationalities who came to San Diego on sailing ships and whalers. Collectively, they are our founding fathers. The Descendants say they take great pride in being related to these first families. Connie Rascon Gunther is the head of the Descendants of Early San Diego. She is a relative of Adolfo Savin, who came to Old Town from Marseille, France. Savin was a businessman in Old Town and is the author of the “Moreno Love Letters,” which were written to help a friend who did not know how to win a wife. “I was introduced to the Descendants by my mother, Consuela Rascon, who was a member for 33 years,” Rascon Gunther explained. “What I like best are the family stories that you hear at our meetings. We leave a

lot of time for the Descendants to socialize with each other, tell their tales and make new connections. They are all devoted to their lineages.” Rascon Gunther is assisted by her husband, Douglas Gunther, who came to San Diego from Iowa when he was 23 years old to work at Solar Turbines, near Lindbergh Field. “They put me in the building that Charles Lindbergh, the pioneer aviator, used to work from. I think they gave me his chair … at least it was old enough to be his chair!” said Douglas Gunther. Linda Jacobo serves as secretary of the Descendants. She’s occupied the post for the last three years and is related to Jose Manuel Machado, one of the Leatherjacket soldiers who came to town with Fr. Serra. They were called Leatherjackets because they wore a

thick vest composed of seven layers of deerskin, which Native American arrows could not penetrate. Jacobo wants to see more young people involved with the Descendants. “When you are young,” she said, “you don’t think much about your genealogy. However, as you get older it becomes more important to you. More young people should get started learning about the history of their families.” Georgia Callian, the workshop coordinator, has hundreds of old books, manuscripts, documents and photographs to share about early San Diego. She is the “go to” gal when it comes to finding old records. Archaeologist Paul Chace works closely with the Descendants. Lately, he’s been working in the village of Onap, which was located just above La Jolla Shores.

The Descendants are a group of people from all over the country who get together at least once a year to explore their genealogy and meet long-lost relatives. The meetings are intended to help strengthen their own sense of family, while at the same time contributing to a better understanding of the histories of San Diego, California and America. As it turns out, San Diego is the Plymouth Rock of the West Coast. This is where it all started, when back in 1769 a small band of Spanish soldiers walked up from La Paz with Father Junipero Serra to found the presidios (forts) and the missions for all California. The multi-ethnic group of people who followed Serra included Spanish, Indian, Black, meztizo and mulatto pioneers. They

Based on shell fragments he found in the Presidio artifact collection, Chace has theorized that the Indian women of Onap collected Pismo clams from La Jolla and took them to the Presidio above Old Town to sell. He is looking for confirmation in any descendant stories. Clarence F. Smith came down to San Diego from Rosamond, near Edwards Air Force Base. He is a relative of Albert B. Smith, famous for having climbed the Old Town flagpole to tack up the American flag while under fire from Mexican soldiers. Smith also snuck up to the Presidio and spiked the cannons so they could not fire on American sailing ships entering the harbor. Victor Crosthwaite-Contreras is a descendant who can be seen on TV in the new Wells Fargo Bank commercials. He is a retired drama teacher from Chula Vista

High School and has acting credits in film and television shows. Last year, he starred in the La Jolla Playhouse production “El Henry.” “Every year I come to the meetings and meet a new relative,” Crosthwaite-Contreras said. “All of the early families of San Diego intermarried because they all knew each other and there weren’t that many people living here. It gives me a sense of pride to be a descendant. More than once growing up, I countered an ethnic joke with: ‘Hey, my family was here in San Diego way before you guys even thought of coming to America.’ ” Crosthwaite-Contreras is going to play the part of Bonifacio Lopez in the Old Town Mark Twain Festival, Aug. 15.

Crosthwaite-Contreras is looking for people who would like to appear with him in the Old Town reenactments, so if you have some old period costumes, e-mail him at viccon813@gmail.com Robert Moreno has an ID card he likes to show off. It identifies him as a member of “Los Californianos,” the official recognition of Descendant status. Moreno is related to Juan Matias Moreno, the secretary to Pio Pico, the last Mexican governor of California. Juan Matias lived in the old Lopez house in Old Town, which now houses a Rockin’ Baja lobster restaurant.

to Martin Trimmer who built the TrimmerDodson Building that still stands in Old Town. Alfred Edmoch Cota is related to the Cota family of Old Town. His grandfather, Martin David Cota, was a general at Omaha Beach on D-Day, and played by Robert Mitchum in the movie. “The Longest Day.” u

Let’s Review WILL BOWEN

Computers, neuroscience, the arts: UC San Diego ICAM presentations

ne of the best places to get a glimpse of the future is the senior presentations of the Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts & Music (ICAM) majors, held every June at the end of the school year at UC San Diego. The presentations are the result of the longest sequence of a class at the University — 20 weeks of focused work under the tutelage of Peter Otto and Tom Erbe in music, and Brett Stalbaum and Amy Alexander in the visual arts. The art and technology students are instructed to “become solutions; create new ideas” and “invent the field as you go along.” This year the students came up with things like a lucid-dream video game, security device, mobile app, combined book/comic strip/and video, and a DJ performance incorporating sound and image. Neuroscientist Dr. Eve Edelstein, who has advanced degrees in both neurobiology and architecture, gave the keynote address. She is studying how spaces and places affect the brain, and began by describing how one of her teachers at UC Berkeley used to carry Albert Einstein’s brain around campus in a hatbox. She said her teacher eventually determined that what made

Einstein’s brain so special was not its size, but the fact that it had many more connections between neurons than found in the average person’s brain. Edelstein went to describe one of her current research projects: subjects wearing a bathing cap covered with wires recording their brain impulses are subjected to different virtual ceiling heights in the Calit2 3D StarCave to see what height produces the most happy and wellfunctioning brain state. She said she hopes to use her research to determine things like what are the best classroom designs for optimal learning, or what is the best type of hospital room for patient healing. Ultimately, she said we might be able to redesign our cities with optimal brain function in mind, thus producing a “smart city.” Tanya Zhang made the first student presentation. She designed a cell phone application with a GPS map, called Scavenger, which shows locations where you can use a $5 coupon for Starbucks coffee or Jamba Juice. Next, Lawrence Chit explained his video game, which takes a virtual 3D ramble through the streets of San Diego while the computer records your EEG responses to

Panoramic ocean Views

the different GPS waypoints you pass through. Chit’s work is an example of trying to determine what areas of San Diego induce the best brain states. Elliot Sperling showed how computers could be used to enhance old music by way of a new recording of the old Allman Brothers Band instrumental, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” Chris Berry explained his tongue-in-cheek security program that uses a plastic, lifesized machine gun that shoots Nerf bullets. The machine gun has a motion detector and shoots those who trespass parameters in an art gallery. Holly Sinclair prefaced her presentation with a moving story about how she became seriously depressed just taking dry computer science classes. After she switched majors to ICAM and started creative applications with her programming work, she overcame her depression. Sinclair composed a sci-fi story set in 2040 where the military has taken over and restricted all freedoms. They are able to keep the populace content by offering them the opportunity to get a new face and body of their choosing. Sinclair presented her tale, which follows two people involved in the process, by way of a written story, a comic book with drawings overlaid on real life photographs, and a video. You choose which way you want to experience the story. David Wang explained “Lucid,” the video game he developed, which helps the player acquire the skills necessary to have more lucid dreams — the kind where you’re aware that you are dreaming. The game makes incorporates ideas from

Artistic rendering of the connectivity of the brain by neuroscientist Dr. Eve Edelstein WILL BOWEN Tibetan Dream Yoga where Buddhist monks are taught to wake up from their dreams to face and master their symbolic fears and anxieties. Danny Naguera performed a new type of DJ show, mixing music with overhead visual images on a large screen. The concluding performance consisted of three songs by hip-hop trio Jake Schneider, Josh Bonas and Stepchild to the Phoenix. The vocals featured a high-pitched Sam Smith-type voice juxtaposed with rap lyrics. In the future, Sinclair said, everyone will know a computer language and be able to program their computers to do things like the ICAM students do. Professor Otto said computers will also be more flexible and easy to talk to, and people will be able to ask them to write new programs to accomplish tasks, just like we now ask Siri to dial a telephone number on our iPhones! u

Minty Cucumber Goat Cheese Salad

Catharine L. Kaufman

Stay cool as a cucumber with summer spices “Much virtue in herbs, little in men.” — Benjamin Franklin

ou can beat the summer heat, and stay calm, cool and collected with a handful of handpicked herbs and spices following the ancient healing food principles of India. Here’s an A-(yurvedic) list of the top spices to keep you refreshed and exhilarated throughout the sticky summer months.

n Mint Condition: Peppermint, a hybrid of winter mint and spearmint, is one of the most revered herbs since classical times for its culinary and medicinal attributes. The Romans believed that eating mint would bolster intelligence, while the mere scent of these luscious leaves would stem a temper tantrum. The menthol in peppermint cools the palate and jazzes up everything from taboulis, pilafs, lamb dishes, fruit salads and gelatos to thirstquenching lemonades, mojitos or iced green tea. Or chew some fresh sprigs for a quick pick-me-up. n Pod Cast: Cardamom is one of the world’s priciest spices, behind only saffron

and vanilla bean. Known globally as the “Queen of Spices,” cardamom was held in high esteem by Ayurvedic healers as an aphrodisiac, teeth whitener, sensuous perfume and relief from gluttony. Indigenous to south India and member of the ginger family, there are three varieties — green, black and Madagascar. Cardamom maintains its expressive, aromatic flavor and scent when bought in pods, which are then peeled and discarded. Unleash the intense flavor of the tiny black seeds inside by grinding fresh with mortar and pestle. A staple spice in Indian cuisine, especially curries and lentils, cardamom perks up a cup of joe, and gives an exotic accent to smoothies, pie crusts, strudels, fresh berries, along with rice dishes, chicken and duck. n Go for the Gold: Saffron’s etymology is from the Arabic word “zafaran,” which translates “yellow.” Whether from Iran or the plains of Spain, these handpicked crimson strands or stigmas from the flower of the crocus plant (80,000 blossoms produce a mere 16 ounces) are the caviar of spices carrying an exorbitant pricetag ranging from $600 to $2,000 a pound — and worth every penny.

n Ingredients • 1 pound, unpeeled, thin-skinned cucumbers (Persian, Japanese or English), cubed • 12 mint leaves, sliced thinly • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced shallots • 1/4 pound goat feta, crumbled n For the dressing • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil • 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar • 1 teaspoon honey n Method: In a large bowl, combine cucumber, mint and shallots. In a small bowl, add dressing ingredients, whisk to emulsify and add salt and pepper to taste. Toss with cucumber and top with feta. They tint every dish a glorious golden hue from paellas, risottos and bouillabaisses to biscottis, flourless tortes and crème brûlées, in addition to infusing them with a sensual perfume, and exotic musky flavors of honey and the sea. A Herculean healing spice, saffron has an astronomical amount of manganese to regulate blood sugar levels, boost calcium absorption and regenerate tissues. It also has a load of iron, immune boosting C’s, stress-busting B’s and fluid-balancing potassium. This precious spice has been used as a cure-all for everything from heartburn and insomnia to menstrual cramps and low libido. Cook’s tip: Toast saffron strands over a low flame to release rich floral aromas. Dried stamens stored in a cool dark place will keep their flavor for two years.

n In a Pickle: Whether fresh or dried, dill is a savory perennial herb that’ll cool your heels while dialing up grilled fish, chicken and vegetables, potato and other picnic salads, dips and frittatas. Botanically this delicate feathery herb – a cousin to parsley, cumin, fennel and caraway – adds a grassy, anise-like zing to hot and cold dishes, and blends beautifully with allspice, ginger and garlic as a pickling spice for cucumbers, green tomatoes, peppers and seasonal vegetables. High in fiber, Vitamins A and C, iron, niacin, copper, folic acid and essential oils, dill has been found to lower cholesterol levels, put the skids on colds, the flu and inflammation, boost ocular and skin health, and lower blood sugar levels in diabetics. u — For additional summer recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

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? Gary Whitehead can be reached at (858) 705-9270 daily, e mail: Sandiegoac@aol.com

Willis Allen and GRID Alternatives launch ‘Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops’

illis Allen Real Estate firm is partnering with GRID Alternatives San Diego to launch “Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops” to transition veterans to clean and renewable energy. Willis Allen will donate time and monetary resources to help GRID Alternatives provide energy cost-savings and a source of clean local energy to the homes of veterans. Four of the projects will be in partnership with the Habitat for Humanity veterans program. It will be all hands on deck, as veterans and the homeowners themselves pull together to install solar power. The fourmonth-long project kicks off July 9 and will provide solar panels for up to 10 veteran homes. A finale event will be held in connection with the Veteran’s Day holiday. “We at Willis Allen feel very fortunate to be helping GRID Alternatives with Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops and are passionate about this project. As a veteran myself, I’m honored to be a part of something that gives back to those who’ve served,” said Andy Nelson, CEO of Willis Allen. “We’ve just designated 30 agents as ‘green’ and this is our way of walking the walk, not just talking the talk. We’re committed to making our community more environmentally-friendly and look forward to maintaining a relationship with GRID Alternatives for future builds.” Tom McSorley, regional development

officer at GRID Alternatives San Diego, said: “Aside from the obvious money and climate benefits we’ll receive, the outcome our veterans will receive is truly immeasurable. Willis Allen is helping us provide these men and women who have served our country the ability to have a sense of pride in their homes and give them the opportunity to help make San Diego a greener place by taking part in the actual installation of the solar panels on their homes. It’s really our way — and our time — to serve those who served us.” To nominate a veteran who can benefit from Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops, e-mail their name and brief story to: operationsolar@gridalternatives.org For information about Willis Allen Real Estate, visit willisallen.com or call (858) 459-4033. u — Press Release
