By Pat Sherman Shoppers parking along blocks of Girard Avenue now have 30 more minutes to peruse their favorite shops or grab a bite to eat. Warwick’s Bookstore owner Nancy Warwick obtained signatures from nearly every business within the 7700-7900 blocks of Girard Avenue in support of her push to increase the parking limit there from 60 to 90 minutes. Considering the City of San Diego’s usually sluggish bureaucratic process, the request was granted in what seems like lighting speed. Warwick collected the signatures in October. The proposal was then vetted and approved unanimously by La Jolla’s Traffic and Transportation (T&T) board at the end of October and on Tuesday, Nov. 25, city workers installed new 90-minute signs (with additional advocacy from T&T board chair Todd Lesser and the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner). “The petition to request this increase, signed by the overwhelming majority of the affected businesses, as well as Mary, Star of the Sea Church and the Athenaeum, demonstrates strong community support,” said Warwick, whose store is in the 7800 block of Girard Avenue.

La Jolla Lutheran Church celebrates its 70th year By Linda Hutchison a Jolla Lutheran Church calls itself “The Church that Bees Built.” After a generous donation from a Wisconsin beekeeper, the church was able to build its first sanctuary on La Jolla Boulevard at Fern Glen. This was not long after founding members held their initial services on Sept. 16, 1944. These dedicated Lutherans were Scandinavian-Americans who relocated to La Jolla from the Midwest, as had their pastor, Rev. L. K. Johnson. Rev. Johnson had ministered to Carl and Hazel Aeppler in Wisconsin while they were working hard to convert a beekeeping hobby into an international honey business. They offered to endow the sanctuary in La

The project will receive another full hearing before the LJCPA 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4. Earlier this year, the LJCPA ratified (approved) the PRC’s January 2014 recommendation that the city deny permits for the project. After a city hearing officer approved the project in June, the LJCPA appealed the hearing officer’s decision to the San Diego Planning Commission. In October, the planning commission moved
the item to a future hearing so the applicant would have time to make changes and resubmit plans to the PRC and LJCPA. A concern raised by Planning Commission Chair Tim Golba was the amount of volume behind the perimeter walls of the structure that is not counted as gross-floor area but meets the technical description of a courtyard. Architect Jim Brown of Public Digital Architects said the Planning Commission

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) — which scrutinizes projects within the La Jolla Shores Planned District and forwards recommendations to the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) for ratification and submittal to the city — once again rejected plans for a modern home at 8490 Whale Watch Way. A motion that findings could not be made to recommend approval of site and coastal development permits for the project passed the PRC by a vote of 5-2-1 (with PRC members Laura DuCharme Conboy and Bob Steck in opposition). The PRC majority found that the project — despite the latest revisions — is not compatible with its neighborhood in form, bulk and scale, and that the size, form and relationship of the project will disrupt the architectural unity of the neighborhood, based on drawings and information presented by Public Digital Architects during the Nov. 19 PRC meeting at La Jolla Rec Center.
also asked him to significantly reduce the height of walls around the project. In response, the wall on the west (street) side of the project has been lowered by more than 6 feet, he said. “We really gave it our best effort. I think the design is still good, high quality,” Brown said, noting that he is considering building the home’s garden walls with a perforated material that allows some openness while retaining his client’s privacy. The rest of the walls will be textured, he said. Marge Kalmanson, a neighbor directly to the north of the project, said the house appears “more like a spaceship than it did before,” adding that after the 6-foot reduction in the wall, it would still be between 15-19 feet, and too tall for her taste. PRC Chair Phil Merten lauded innovation in the design, likening its curved lines to “sculpting the sheet metal in a modern sports car,” although he maintained the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance and accompanying design manual mandate that houses on either side be considered. “I’m open to voting to approve structures that are more sculptural in nature, but I have to be able to make the determination that it’s not so different that it disrupts the architectural unity of the area,” he said, adding that he didn’t have enough information yet to make that assessment. PRC member Laura DuCharme Conboy praised Brown for the concessions he made, adding she thinks it will add to the diversity of the neighborhood and should be

Above: Sample of proposed perforated garden walls for the Whale Watch Way residence that would open up the project while maintaining the homeowner’s privacy. Right: Jim Brown of Public Digital Architects presents revised plans for a single-family residence at 8490 Whale Watch Way in the Shores. Some residents oppose the futuristic design and say it doesn’t fit the character of their neighborhood. Brown will repeat his presentation during the La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4 at La Jolla Rec Center. Photos by Pat Sherman considered a modern version of a courtyard home, like those found elsewhere in La Jolla. “I love it, actually. I think it will be an exciting, inspiring addition to La Jolla,” DuCharme Conboy said, adding that an overly rigid interpretation of a mandate in the La Jolla Shores PDO — or blueprint for design — that no home should be too similar or too divergent in design from those surrounding it can lead to myopic planning. “What sort of architectural development would we have if all we did was morph the guy to the east and the guy to the west,” she questioned. “I would like us to broaden our view and take a wider angle lens.” However, PRC member Janie Emerson said she felt the revisions presented were only the tip of the iceberg needed to make the
project an acceptable fit with the neighborhood. Emerson requested renderings that show how the project would fit in with homes on the east and west side of it. “I need to have the whole picture to vote on a project as controversial as this project has become,” she said. PRC member Dolores “Dede” Donovan said she wished the whale tail-evoking project — designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize — were a little smaller. “I really like what you’ve been doing,” Donovan said. “I think this is a tremendous step forward, but I need to see it in a more pictorial way (with finished landscaping plans).”
n Cell tower plan rejected:
The PRC also rejected plans for Verizon Wireless to add a cell tower at 3908 Torrey Pines Road, within Allen Field. The plans call for a new wireless communication facility consisting of two antennas concealed inside two 30-foot-tall, faux light poles, and installation of associated equipment. Project representative Kerrigan Diehl said the facility is needed due to an urgent request for Verizon to expand coverage in the area and fill a gap in coverage along Torrey Pines Road. Mike Wintringer, president of La Jolla Youth Inc. (the umbrella organization overseeing La Jolla soccer, baseball and lacrosse and a current tenant of Allen Field),
said the group rents Allen Field through the city’s Real Estate Assets Department. If the Verizon plan is approved, La Jolla Youth, Inc. would receive half the payments flowing to the city, or about $19,000 he said. “To us, it would be a boon,” he said. “The alternative would be to charge the kids more to play soccer.” After much discussion about the location of the light poles and the potential impact of cell towers on youth at the park, a motion by PRC member Myrna Naegle (second by Donovan) passed by a vote of 5-0-1 that findings cannot be made for the requested permits because the project conflicts with the La Jolla Shores PDO (which takes precedence over San Diego Land Development Code). u

“Sometimes people are already on the right path, but they need a nudge,” he continued. “These steps equip people to hear God’s voice and what is best for them. For example, a doctor may be interested in health care for children and go into educating children around the world.” The membership of La Jolla Lutheran Church may be small, but Rev. Dahle sees that as an advantage. “Everybody gets noticed and can participate fully. We expect people to participate — and kids get individual care with some projects built around them.”
The church holds a worship service every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. followed by a healing service. Members pray for individuals and also for individual nations, a different one each month. They also send Bibles to these countries in their respective languages. On Wednesdays, the church offers a Bible study at 6:30 p.m. Ongoing projects keep members busy yearround. These include a rummage sale to benefit local organizations, such as families of veterans and the San Diego Food Bank; assembling shoeboxes filled with gifts to send to children around the world every

It includes 716 congregations in the United States and 117 in Canada, Russia, Cambodia, Mexico, and 10 other nations, according to Rev. Mark Dahle, pastor. The LCMC describes its members as being “… free in Christ; accountable to one another; rooted in the Scriptures and the
Lutheran Confessions; and working together to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nations.” While individual congregations share these common standards, they also have latitude to shape their local ministries. Rev. Dahle describes his church as Biblebased with a focus on healing and encouraging members to be true to themselves. “I give people simple instructions they can follow anywhere, a simple list,” he explained. “1) Ask God what to do. 2) Do that. 3) If there is no answer, do what Jesus would do.

In addition, it offers musical concerts and art shows giving local artists good exposure. “We try something new each year,” Rev. Dahle said. Rev. Dahle has been the pastor of La Jolla Lutheran Church for 20 years. He grew up in Ketchikan, Alaska “the last cruise ship stop,” and earned a degree in English at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma,
Washington. He then went to work as a writer and photographer for a major corporation in the Northwest for several years before deciding to enter the ministry. Already active with a youth ministry, he attended the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, earning a master of divinity degree. He was assigned to a church in Upland briefly before coming to La Jolla. In addition to overseeing all services and projects, Rev. Dahle is taking on a major fundraising and renovation campaign. The church has a long list of much-needed work inside and out and will start with high-
priority items such as repairing gutters, windows, doors and stucco, replacing damaged flooring, handrails and sprinkler system and power washing the chimney. As Rev. Dahle offered a tour of the church, he pointed out the bee motif. The stained glass windows in the sanctuary include bees, flowers and honeycombs. The pulpit includes bees carved into the wood. And by the entrance, there are gifts for visitors — small jars of honey with cards explaining how bees helped build the church. u n Coming in the Dec. 25 issue: A look at Congregation Adat Yeshurun

American frontiers. At a time when the world’s currency was based on gold, the newly mined gold provided widespread economic stimulus. “Australians who came to the California Gold Rush turned around and went home for the Australian (gold rushes of 18511906),” Cloward said, adding that some prospecting Aussies lived long enough to return to northwestern Canada for the Yukon/Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-1899. The main room of the exhibit features six maps of the California Gold Rush, some which could be folded up to fit in a prospector’s pocket. The exhibit also features scales used to weigh gold, an example of a stock certificate and five, privately-minted gold coins from the era (See Mint Condition, page A10). “When the California Gold Rush hit, there was no mint in California, so these private coinage companies were set up and you would go to the assayer with your poke of gold dust or nuggets,” Cloward said. “The assayer would take a pinch for himself

By Pat Sherman new exhibit at the Map and Atlas Museum of La Jolla is giving visitors a historic glimpse at the fever that drove hoards of prospectors west to settle what would rightfully become known as the ‘Golden State.’ Although the exhibit was initially conceived to highlight only maps from the California Gold Rush (1848-1855), museum director Richard Cloward said he and museum founder Mike Stone learned there were gold rushes in other parts of the world throughout the 19th Century, including those in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Colorado. Gold rushes were marked by an exuberant belief that hearty, entrepreneurial individuals willing to travel and get their hands dirty could achieve income mobility virtually overnight. Rushes helped spur immigration that often led to permanent settlement of new regions and defined part of the culture of the Australian and North

Tyrrell and melt the rest of the gold down and cast it into coins. … It was all done privately until the San Francisco Mint was set up (in 1854).” The exhibit also features modern tourist maps, including one showing all the cities along state Route 49 (aka the “Mother Lode Highway”), where cities still promote their historic affiliations with the California Gold Rush, Cloward chimed. “What we try to do is give a little education, a little entertainment,” he said, adding that though there was a minor gold rush in Julian, California (east of San Diego), there are largely only government survey maps showing the locations of the mines.
A sample claim from the Cornucopia Lode of Custer County, Colorado is also featured. “If you wanted to set a claim, you would go to a United States General Land Office and you’d file your claim,” Cloward said. “When the railroad was going (through) they’d put offices nearby. Think about it. The government was selling land they didn’t own and making money at it.” A map of the gold rush region of Klondike from 1897 on display was produced by wellknown Canadian cartographer and mine manager J.B. Tyrrell.

From Map Exhibit, A9 “He was the person who surveyed Canada, literally,” Cloward said. “He didn’t make a lot of money at it, so on the side he published some maps of his own. This one is incredibly accurate, but it’s also pretty childlike in a way, with some pretty simple drawings.”
Mint Condition
There are believed to be more than 500 variations of fractional coins (gold tokens) minted during the early years of the California Gold Rush, which occasionally show up at The Coin Shop on Girard Avenue. The privately minted coins were produced in a variety of denominations. “There was such a lack of coins for commerce, because coins hadn’t made it that far out west yet. They were having trouble just doing day-to-day business,” Coin Shop manager Jeff Martin said. “It was the private sector taking it upon itself to say, ‘Hey, we can’t rely on the government for money supply. We need to step in and make our own coins.’ … It’s really interesting to see the private sector step up and fill what really should have been a governmental role.” A number of private mints were established during the early gold rush years. “Some of these only lasted for a few years and, therefore, their production was quite limited and they maybe only made a few hundred or a few thousand pieces,” Martin said. “In coin terms, that’s pretty rare. Some of the smaller ones can be purchased in the $100-$200 range per coin, based on current gold value. As rarity increases, price increases. Some of them that are ultra rare, where there’s only five to 10 pieces known, can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Although the U.S. government continues to produce gold coins, they are mostly American Eagle bullions, bought and sold for their intrinsic gold value, Martin said. “We’re really got two separate types (clients) with completely different motivations and different reasons for purchasing gold coins,” Martin said. “You have your strictly bullion purchaser, who wants to have a certain percentage of their liquid portfolio in physical gold. ... The second type is the collector … who’s coming in and looking for specific coins and specific conditions, particular dates and mint marks. Some people try to (collect) one from each year … or a coin from each mint in a particular denomination.” u

Bird Rock residents Sharon Wampler (left) and Dana Williams explain what they view as the ‘mansionization’ of Bird Rock; Bird Rock residents are upset that this large home being built at 5706 Chelsea Avenue, and others like it, are exempt from community review. Photos by Pat Sherman
Permit reviewers ponder unwieldy development in Bird Rock, plus Village gas station conversion La Jolla
Development Permit Review Committee discretionary review process — which includes presenting project plans to the DPR. The DPR reviews projects for conformance to the La Jolla Community Plan and then sends its recommendations to the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA)
for ratification and submittal to the City of San Diego’s Development Services Department as the community’s official recommendation. Many project applicants seek “categorical exemptions” under the city’s “50 percent rule,” which grants them an over-thecounter (ministerial) permit — with no required vetting by the DPR or other La Jolla advisory groups — as long as the new development retains 50 percent of a home’s existing walls. “As a result,” said DPR member James Ragsdale, “when the construction starts it’s a surprise to see what’s going on. If there had been better communication, or at least an opportunity for some communication, the
answer might have been a way to soften some of the problem areas that we see on some of the buildings going up.” Residents say new homes sprouting up in Bird Rock are often two to four times the size of the original residences, made of inexpensive materials and incorporate cookie-cutter architectural styles and materials where the La Jolla Community Plan calls for variation and innovation in design. DPR member Mike Costello read a letter from LJCPA trustee and architect Phil Merten, addressing his concern with exemptions that open the door to behemoth buildings, such as a home expansion on a narrow lot at the northwest corner of Bird Rock and Chelsea avenues, which

By Pat Sherman During its November meetings, the Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) considered what some Bird Rock residents view as the “mansionization” of their community, as well as the proposed conversion of a 76 gas station on Pearl Street into a mixed-use condo project, and construction of an arched entry gate on La Jolla Rancho Road. The mansionization of Bird Rock, residents say, is largely due a provision in San Diego’s Land Development Code that exempts some developers of residential home additions along the coast from obtaining a Coastal Development Permit and also allows them to sidestep the typical

Rendering of a stone gate structure proposed to replace an existing one at 1860 La Jolla Rancho Road (off La Jolla Scenic Drive South). qualified for the 50 percent exemption. A carport and covered deck atop it were exempt from being counted in the structure’s gross-floor area (GFA), because they are open on several sides. “The covered deck and carport are roughly 20 to 25 percent of the total floor area, but by definition are not counted in the GFA,” Merten wrote. “The definition of what is included in GFA needs to be changed to include areas like these.” As the generation that originally settled in Bird Rock passes on, more homes will change hands and be purchased by “speculators,” making the problem more pronounced, said Bird Rock resident Sharon Wampler. “There’s been a growth in development over the past five or so years — an explosion in Bird Rock,” she said. “We’re not anti-progress, we’re not anti-development, but we want to have a vision. … When you lose open space, when you lose land, when you lose character, it’s pretty much gone forever.” Beaumont Avenue resident Dana Williams said developers are “totally following code,”
although city code allowing the 50 percent exemption is being used in a manner in which it was not intended. She thanked the developer of several Bird Rock home additions employing the 50 percent rule — in attendance — for showing her and her neighbor’s plans for a 2,500-square foot home on her block before construction began. “Not being from the school of architecture, for an average person to look at a plan I had no idea what was really happening,” Williams said. “Because of the 50 percent rule, it happened very quickly and I, literally one day, came back and there was a 30-foot wall inches from our fence.” Ragsdale noted the city is undertaking its ninth revision to the land development code, including scrutiny of the 50 percent rule. A revision to the rule the city is considering — presented to and rejected by the DPR several years ago — would reign in the 50 percent rule by requiring that “single dwelling units utilizing the categorical exclusion would be limited to 90 percent of the maximum height and 80 percent of the
maximum floor-area-ratio (otherwise) permitted by the underlying base zone.” However, the memo notes, “Action to approve the (new) categorical exclusion language has since been delayed by California Coastal Commission staff,” which issues coastal development permits. Despite any issues with the Coastal Commission, LJCPA president Joe LaCava said he believes the city is amenable to implementing these regulations. “This certainly is in line with the mayor’s position of streamlining regulations, making it easier to do business with the city, so I would imagine that the mayor would embrace this as well,” he told La Jolla Light.
In other DPR news n Gas station conversion redux: Revised plans to convert a 76 gas station to a mixed-use project with 12 condos, four retail units, a restaurant and underground parking received favorable nods from DPR members, although the committee

ultimately felt the revisions did not make enough concessions for the project’s bulk and scale — particularly what permit reviewers regard as little discernible transition from the project to the low density homes just south on Eads Avenue. The project would include a two-story building fronting Pearl Street (including the retail, restaurant and one second-story condo), and two three-story condo buildings at the rear of the property. “This is not planned to be a casual progression into a housing area,” said Eads Avenue resident Connie Branscomb during the meeting, requesting the applicant use story poles to illustrate the impact to nearby residents. “It’s very stark,” Branscomb said. “It’s important to have the story poles to really see what’s going on.” During his presentation, project representative Joe LaCava said the city has signed off on noise and traffic studies for the project, the latter indicating traffic to and from the

Lesser credited city staff with working to get the new signage installed before the busy Thanksgiving weekend. “The T&T board worked closely with the city staff in the Transportation Engineering (Operations Division),” he said. “City staff worked quickly, since they knew how important it was for the merchants.” A statement from Lightner’s office read, in part: “We hope this change will encourage more customers to come and patronize businesses in the area, especially during the holidays.” T&T is a joint board made up of two members from five of La Jolla’s five advisory groups: La Jolla Community Planning Association, La Jolla Shores Association, La Jolla Village
Merchants Association, La Jolla Town Council and Bird Rock Community Council. Although Lesser maintained that T&T is the only board recognized by the City of San Diego to submit traffic and transportationrelated recommendations for La Jolla to the city, T&T items regularly appear on the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) agenda for ratification. T&T’s October approval of the parking extension was pulled from the LJCPA’s Nov. 6 consent agenda, and — despite installation of the new signage — will be discussed further during the LJCPA’s next meeting, 6 p.m. Dec. 4 at La Jolla Rec Center (615 Prospect St.), the association’s president, Joe LaCava, confirmed. u

Well-suited
Ascot’s new Talbott ‘shop-in-shop’ continues retailers’ union of style By Pat Sherman a Jolla’s Ascot Shop has an impressive new area in which to highlight the luxury men’s fashions of one of its oldest merchandisers — Robert Talbott. The newly renovated “shop-in-shop” (in which a retailer such as Ascot Shop rents a portion of its floor space to a company such as Talbott) is just the latest in a merger that began shortly after both businesses took flight in 1950. Owner Bill White, who began working at the Ascot Shop part-time while attending San Diego State (eventually purchasing it from the original owner Jack Matzinger and family), said the Ascot Shop was the eighth store to carry Robert Talbott apparel — and the only one of those original eight retailers still in business. “We’re their oldest account … (and) their largest account for a single-store operation,” White chimed. “Talbott started out as a neckwear company and they’ve expanded to become a lifestyle brand that encompasses the whole spectrum of clothing, from sportswear to outerwear to trousers and shirts.” White, whose son, Andrew, and daughter, Alysson, help him run the business, said his father, a loan officer at Merrill Lynch, also shopped at the Ascot. “I never thought of this as a career,” White told La Jolla Light, 41 years after he started at Ascot Shop. “I started here part-time and I

I kind of took to the business and liked it.” Talbott founders Bob and Audrey Talbott landed the Ascot account by driving to La Jolla from Carmel, California with some silk neckties and their young son, Robb (who would take more to winemaking and launch the Talbott Vineyards, located in the Santa Lucia Highlands area of Monterey County). “It’s a neat story and I think the fact that

Talbott is a California company has a special meaning to our clients,” White said. “We carry some nice, high-end clothing companies like Corneliani and Hickey Freeman, but we do a ton of business with Talbott. They are our No. 1 vendor by leaps and bounds. That’s why something like this makes a ton of sense for us, because our clients identify so much with the brand. “We actually have clients that will go up and get a tour of the Talbott factory when they’re in Carmel,” White added.
The 700-square-foot shop-in-shop, which opened Nov. 13, is Talbott’s third such venture to open this year. The space is designed to reflect the brand’s origins in the Monterey Peninsula, including coastal imagery, dark hardwood flooring and Carmel stone. “It has a very different feel and flavor than the rest of our shop,” White said. “It gives the Talbott brand a different identity.” The Ascot Shop received a major remodel in 2000, under the auspices of famed La Jolla architect Robert Mosher. u

Police should have given the protesters who blocked the freeway a traffic ticket to enforce traffic laws. There are programs that allow people to protest, where they have to give notice of the time and location. To interrupt people’s lives is not right. Jun Martin
Students at UCSD could do a lot more than stop traffic. There are some great brains in there; they could start a movement, do an article, write a paper, create a blog. They could use their brains better than that. Ryan Farhood
It was an appropriate way to get their point across because it was non-violent. The incident brings up a lot of race issues, especially since the shooting took place in Missouri, which isn’t as diverse as places like California. CJ Evangelista

Inga has her virtues “Let Inga Tell You” is one of the top reasons I look forward to reading my favored La Jolla newspaper. Although this “Queen of Wit” hides her face behind dark glasses, scarf and hat, she opens widely the curtains exposing her heart. Congratulations, Inga, on your fifth anniversary with the paper and your new book. We need reminders (like your true stories) to show us that contentment comes from enjoying even something little, a lot, and sharing how challenging experiences can be wisely
transformed by humor when one chooses to love life and live better. I admire your integrity to speak the truth without politically correct embellishment. I am inspired by your courage of simply being yourself. I hope your “light” will shine bright from the pages of La Jolla Light for many more years.

YUCK! Booze-bottle recycling trucks on residential streets
O
ur neighborhood is being ravaged by people not living in La Jolla, who pick up empty booze and beer bottles from La Jolla bars and restaurants and leave their very junky, foul-smelling trucks in front of our residences on Park Row, Silverado and Exchange. Yes, right in the heart of La Jolla! These trucks are all junkers filled with bags of booze bottles that are dripping on the street in front of our homes. Can you imagine the awful smell and sight of having such vehicles parked in front of your home? The restaurants up and down Prospect Street give the empties to them, which of course keeps the whole smelly, awful-looking operation going. The city has been of no help, even though this is an illegal business operating on the streets of La Jolla. Residents are awakened at 6 a.m. from the sound of people throwing these booze-bottle filled bags from one truck to another.
Is there any La Jolla Light reader who would like to have this going on in their neighborhood, day and night, with the trucks parked in front of their homes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 12 months a year? No, of course not! This has been going on for years and the Park Row neighborhood would like La Jolla Light to investigate this embarrassment to our Village. Can you help us? Ed Witt La Jolla Editor’s Note: The Light contacted the office of City Councilmember Sherri Lightner about this problem. Here is the response: “Thank you for your inquiry regarding trucks parked on Park Row, Silverado and Exchange streets in La Jolla. Our office has worked with the San Diego Police Department and the Neighborhood Code Compliance Department in
the past to try and remedy this situation. Unfortunately, the unsightly trucks in question are legally allowed to park on public streets. Neighborhood Code Compliance and SDPD were unable to find any violations of the San Diego Municipal Code or California Vehicle Code that would enable the removal or relocation of the trucks. We will reach out to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association to see if they would be willing to work with us, and the businesses in the area, to try to find a better solution for the removal of the bottles and cans that would be less disruptive to the surrounding residential neighborhood. Constituents should feel free to contact our office at anytime at (619) 236-6611 or sherrilightner@sandiego.gov with any similar concerns.” u Erin Demorest Office of Councilmember Sherri S. Lightner, First District, City of San Diego

Martin Frederick Kagnoff 1941 – 2014
Martin Frederick Kagnoff, M.D., 73, Professor Emeritus of Medicine & Pediatrics at UCSD School of Medicine, died Sunday, November 16, 2014, at his La Jolla home. He leaves his wife of 51 years, Marcia Carolyn Kagnoff; his son, Michael
Steven Kagnoff; daughter, Melissa Natanya Kagnoff; daughter-in-law, Lisa Diane Schmidlap; and two grandsons, Jacob Emory Kagnoff and Drew Mitchell Kagnoff. Dr. Kagnoff was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C., the son of Jennie and Nathan Kagnoff, who owned and operated a local drugstore. He attended college at the University of British Columbia where his wife Marcia also attended. When Martin and Marcia married in 1963, they moved to the United States and in the same year Martin began his medical education at Harvard University. He did his residency training in Internal Medicine at Harvard University and fellowship in Gastroenterology at Boston University. He also

CRIME NEWS Police seek information in vehicle/home collision
and long-sleeve, dark tan shirt in the La Jolla robbery.
San Diego Police are looking for information about a vehicle that hit an alley-facing guesthouse on the 7400 block of Cuvier Street, just before midnight, Sunday, Nov. 30. No one was in the guesthouse at the time. Homeowner Claudia Casta-Pecora said she and her husband were awakened around midnight by neighbors informing them that a car had hit their guesthouse along the alley, which is separated from the main house. Police were already on scene. Casta-Pecora said police told her the driver was likely trying to get out of the alley quickly, and based on the damage, estimated the driver was going more than 20 miles an hour and in reverse. The car hit a short post that protects the corner of the house, and the south and west sides of the house. The collision caused damage to a bathroom, and left pieces of the vehicle, a silver Honda, behind. Neighbor Jessie Gania said he heard a loud booming sound, and at first thought someone had hit some plastic trash cans. He got up to check on his car, parked on Cuvier Street, and said he saw the silver Honda “screeching” around the corner from Pearl Street, with parts falling off of it. Gania attempted to chase the vehicle, but lost it as it approached Sea Lane. He said he could not imagine the car got very far because of its condition. He could not tell if the driver was male or female. Those with information may call the police non-emergency number at (619) 531-2000.

Dubbed the “Chit Chat Bandit” the robber likes to appear that he’s engaged in conversation related to legitimate banking business while he conducts his robberies. The “Chit Chat Bandit” is believed to be responsible for robbing two Wells Fargo banks this month on Wednesday, Nov. 26 and Friday, Nov. 28. The Nov. 26 robbery occurred at 3:05 p.m., at the Wells Fargo Bank, 7544 Girard Ave. in La Jolla, during which the “Chit Chat Bandit” allegedly handed the teller a demand note for cash. The robber also made a verbal demand for cash and attempted to engage in small talk with the teller. After receiving a sum of money the robber exited the bank. On Nov. 28 at 4:58 p.m. the “Chit Chat Bandit” allegedly robbed a Wells Fargo Bank inside of the Vons grocery store at 13439 Camino Canada, El Cajon, demanding money from two tellers. After receiving a sum from both, the suspect exited the store and made his getaway on a green BMX-style bicycle. No injuries have been reported and no weapon has been displayed. Witnesses describe the robber as a slender, white male in his mid-30s, weighing 160-170 pounds and approximately 5’10’’ tall with blond facial hair and a goatee under his bottom lip. He wore dark sunglasses, an orange reflector vest
Two longtime employees of Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla are under investigation by federal authorities for possible misspending of a significant amount of money, the organization said. Executive Director Michael Cohen confirmed the situation in response to an inquiry from U-T Watchdog, although he did not reveal the dollar amount. “It has not been easy to learn that people we came to trust for more than 20 years violated that trust,” Cohen said. The misappropriation was discovered earlier this year, and both employees admitted doing it, he said. He did not identify the employees, nor did he address whether they resigned or were fired. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy declined to comment. The funds were pilfered through credit card uses that were “hidden in program expenses,” Cohen said, and spent on “personal and other unauthorized uses.” Neither internal controls nor annual outside audits each year for the organization caught the theft, he said. In response to the discovery the group has conducted a forensic audit and put in new procedures to try to avoid such theft in the future. Cohen said that the stolen funds did not materially affect the services, programs or overall financial health of the organization. According to the website Charity Navigator, the group had revenues of $8.9 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. It had total expenses of $10.4 million and reported net assets of $16.3 million. u

he CIF Cross Country Championships were held at Balboa Park Nov. 22, during which two La Jolla High School (LJHS) students — senior Lauren Roberts and freshman Max Ippolito — qualified for the State Championships in Fresno, Nov. 29. Roberts finished 10th in the Division IV school race, and Ippolito finished 13th in the boy’s race. Cross Country is a team sport, so qualifying individually is only accomplished by establishing a top-five time in the CIF finals. This is the first time in more than 30 years that a LJHS freshman has qualified for State Championships, with Ippolito running 17:48 in the hill-oriented 3.1mile (5,000-meter) race. He set a school record the week before, running 16:50 in a flatter version of a 3.1-mile race in Western League finals. In Fresno, Ippolito was one of 20 freshmen in the 202-runner field of the State Championships. He had a personal record of 16:52 minutes over the 3.1-mile route, finishing 75th and fifth as a freshman. Roberts was 93rd of 201 runners with a 20:53 over the same course. LJHS head cross country coach Robert McCarthy and assistant coach Amy Kuehl trained both the boys and girls programs this year. u

or a peripatetic group, the progressive dinner party is truly a blast. Start at the Allen’s for appetizers, then saunter over to the Miller’s for the main event. Stroll down the block to the Stevens’ for sweet treats, and finally across the road to the Zinberg’s for nightcaps. This is a great chance to bond with neighbors and enjoy a variety of holiday homes and different styles of entertaining. Everyone in the travelling troupe can contribute their specialty dish, a nice bottle of wine or box of bon bons. One tip — keep the guest list to a manageable number, especially if the hosts’ houses are small.

Insider’s view of La Jolla’s varied yoga studios

By Ashley Mackin eople joke that La Jolla has more than its share of yoga studios. With several in the Village, one in Bird Rock, retailers dedicating space for community yoga classes, a bevy of Pilates studios that also offer yoga, private instruction, and community centers with classes for seniors, it’s easy to see why. But did you know each program offers something different? “It’s just like the gym, there are going to be a ton of fitness places — especially in a place like La Jolla — but there are going to be things that set you apart,” said Carolina Vivas, co-owner of La Jolla’s newest yoga studio, Buddhi Yoga, which opened Nov. 7. “What that says is a lot of people are doing yoga, so that’s not a bad thing if there are a lot of studios. The more options for people the better, and if people go around and try new places, they will find what fits for them.”

Some cardinal rules of potluck etiquette apply: n Everyone has to contribute to the offerings, and preferably bring a dish that does not require heating, prepping, refrigeration or storage space. n Condiments and beverages do not count as a dish. n Foods prepared by neophyte cooks must be graciously received, without criticism. n Before bringing a dish, guests should check with the host to avoid repetition.

Let Inga Tell You
My book is out — at last!
H
La Jolla Cultural Partners
undreds of hours and a year of angst later, my book, “Inga Tells All: A saga of single parenthood, second marriage, surly fauna, and being mistaken for a Swedish porn star,” is finally out! It’s available on Amazon, Kindle, and most importantly, at Warwick’s, which is matching Amazon’s price. (If you’re going to buy it, I really hope you do so at Warwick’s.) In celebration of this event, my husband Olof and I are having a Meet & Greet at the La Jolla Public Library 2-4 p.m. this Saturday (Dec. 6) in the Community Room. In honor of my recent Press Club win for the column “How an engineer makes cookies” (think spreadsheets, flow charts), Olof is going to reprise his first and only effort at baking by making cookies for the event. If you think you might attend, would you e-mail me at
inga47@san.rr.com so Olof knows how many cookies to make? Olof is taking this cookie thing very seriously now that he has a reputation to uphold. In fact, I think I may get a second column out of this titled “How an engineer exhaustively analyzes 75 oatmeal raisin recipes before overnighting a $400 stand mixer from Amazon.” I couldn’t help but point out to him that the cookies I wrote about previously — his family’s Christmas cookie recipes — were more than adequately accomplished with my hand-held mixer. But no self-respecting engineer would pass up an excuse to acquire a new gadget. “So, Olof,” I said, “why did you pick this one?” “Well,” he said, having scrutinized the mixer market as if they were Hadron Colliders, “it has an 800 watt motor, 12 speeds, flat mixing paddle for cookies, and an optional meat grinder attachment.” Meat grinder attachment? So basically, lots of power and a bunch of superfluous peripherals. Further, it came in a suitably guy-ish brushed chrome finish that he wouldn’t be embarrassed to stand in front of. No decorator-color mixers for him! Meanwhile, I’ve been getting the cram
course in how Amazon rankings work. The book appeared on Amazon two weeks before the Kindle version would be up, so I initially only told a few friends it was there. After 10 books had sold, I noted that my book ranking among Amazon’s voluminous number of books was 160,257. I decided to make it my goal to ultimately move up to 140,000. I would check it every day and it would be like my own personal stock market. The next morning I was horrified to discover that I had dropped to 320,405. By nightfall to 366,349. This was the most volatile stock market ever! The next day I was in the cellar at 439,660. Plans to wait until Kindle came out to announce the book were quickly abandoned. 200 of my closest friends got notification of my book. By that afternoon, I had rocketed up to 56,614. This would suggest that all 200 friends bought 50 books but in fact, my total was only up to … 20. This had to be the screwiest metric ever! But the fun was only beginning. I discovered that my book was now the “Number One Hot New Release” in the “Scandinavian Biographies” category. (Isn’t that an oxymoron?) I never listed Scandinavian Biographies as a search term so I was a little puzzled as to how I got there but I think I can safely say that there are not too many “hot new releases” in this category, largely, I think, because most of the contenders are dead. Over the next two weeks, my ranking jumped all over the place but thankfully stayed mostly under 100,000, and anywhere from No. 3 to No. 22 in the
obviously sparsely-populated Scandinavian Biographies division. It seemed to have nothing to do with how many books I sold (or in my case, didn’t sell). Then suddenly, on Nov. 21, I tanked to No. 222,917. Did Leif Erikson suddenly publish a posthumous Kindle bio? The next morning, a friend notified me that he had searched my book on Amazon only to get two hits for Inga Tells All: my book and one titled “Secret Pleasures: Four Asian films about love, longing, and fishhooks.” The first of the two reviews read “The movie compilations ‘Secret Pleasures’ is one of the more bizarre collections that I’ve ever encountered.” What I couldn’t figure out was that none of the four Asian movies had a character named Inga. Amazon has one screwy algorithm! I can only assume it’s the words “Swedish porn” in my subtitle that have somehow linked me with the “Secret Pleasures” book. Olof says I should be concerned that my e-mail account is going to be spammed by horny Latvians. I’ve started to read up on how it all works, and can now say after considerable research that … I have absolutely no clue. But as of today, my book listing on Amazon is not only “No. 1 New Release in Scandinavian Biographies” but the words are now highlighted in a decorative orange banner as well. But wait — it’s no longer a hot new release? Those Amazon folks are so fickle. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Customers order vegan, organic foods at the counter of Trilogy Sanctuary Cafe.
At Trilogy, the café is a sanctuary for the health-conscious By Kelley Carlson t La Jolla’s Trilogy Sanctuary Café, a person can have peace of mind while eating a piece of pie … or anything else on the menu. The eatery is the ultimate stop for the health-conscious — after a yoga session in Trilogy’s next-door studio or on its terrace, patrons come in for thick smoothies rich in vitamins and antioxidants, bountiful salads and veggie-filled wraps, and desserts that seem sinful yet contain pure ingredients. But even those who don’t partake in the yoga sessions make it a point to pay a visit to this jewel on Girard, tucked away on the fourth floor of the building next to Pharmaca. Guests who retreat there seem to find a state of serenity, especially on the patio, as exercise enthusiasts perform aerial yoga on soft fabric trapezes and the sun sets over the ocean. And 6-8 p.m. Saturdays, the air is filled with the sounds of local performers. The concept of Trilogy is to treat health holistically, and not just through exercise, said Leila Whitehead, who co-owns the sanctuary with Joe Caldera. “We’re trying to create a place where people can be healthy really easily,” Whitehead said. The result includes a café that features nourishing foods that are entirely vegan and organic. Many of them are gluten- and soy-free, too. And Whitehead champions

Guests who are seeking post-workout energy or immunity boosts often gravitate toward the smoothies, which are chock-full of vegetables and fruits. Among the colorful beverages is the purple-hued Goddess Smoothie, a blend of almond milk, blueberries, peanut butter, goji berries, chia seeds and hemp seeds. Then there are acai bowls, which are like thick smoothies with various toppings, and they’re sweet despite being sugar-free. These range from Traditional, mixed with bananas, blueberries and apples and topped
with gluten-free granola and fruits, to the Superfood, consisting of bananas, goji berries, spinach, coconut oil and hemp milk, sprinkled with hemp seeds and fruit. Those looking for lunch and dinner entrees will discover salads and other bowls, wraps and rolls. A favorite is the juicy, pesto-covered pile of Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash, interspersed with heirloom tomatoes and roasted portobello mushrooms, olives and sun-dried tomatoes, and garnished with toasted pine nuts. A variation is the Spectacular Spaghetti Squash with roasted sweet potato and onion, smothered in cheese sauce and topped with eggplant bacon. Then there are the zesty Two Perfect Tacos: The homemade corn tortillas are stuffed with chorizo, quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, eggplant bacon, house-made pico and spicy almond love sauce. Visitors expect the healthy entrees, but the desserts may be a surprise. Guests enjoy the dense, rich, chocolatey layers of the Decadence that’s served in a glass jar, but most have no idea the concoction contains avocado, as there is no hint of the color or taste. Another is the moist Majestic Carrot Cake, containing carrot in its raw form. In addition, there’s an Amazing Apple Pie (that’s amazingly guilt-free), with a crumbly almond butter and cinnamon crust, walnut and oat crumble, and served with cashew cream and plum sauce. u

Let’s Review WILL BOWEN
Calit2 Gallery show ‘tackles’ bodies
B
Stone said the exhibition features the work of eight artists and “cuts across the disciplines of art, music, theater, media and design ... and considers how bodies may be copied, downloaded, projected onto, manipulated and encoded with multiple layers of meaning.” Housed in a small gallery space on the first floor of the Calit2 building, the show consists of five videos, four large color prints from an Internet site, two paintings, and a row of cell phones used as “Transborder Immigrant Tools.” Opening night featured a panel discussion and a reception with Stone and professors Ricardo Dominquez, Ursula Damm, Brett Stalbaum and Katarina Rosenberger. UCSD visual arts professor Dominquez showed a clip from the documentary “The Tinaja Trail and the Transborder Immigrant Tool,” made by Bryce Clayton Newell, an attorney working on his Ph.D. at the University of Washington’s Information School. Transborder Immigrant Tools are actually inexpensive cell phones programmed with GPS, photographs and poetry created by Dominguez’s wife, Amy Sara Carroll, a
Trish Stone, Richardo Dominguez, Ursula Damm, Brett Stalbaum and Katarina Rosenberger Photos by Will Bowen professor at the University of Michigan. The phones, which were misunderstood by many and subjected to local and federal investigation, were intended to be humanitarian art objects to help bordercrossers find GPS-mapped water caches so they would not die of thirst in the desert. In reality, they never saw use. The phones were developed and programmed by Dominguez and an art collective called The Electronic Disturbance Theater/b.a.n.g lab. Dominguez and the phones were investigated by UCSD campus administration, politicians and the FBI, who thought they might be used in illegal activities or be stolen/copied by terrorists who would use them to secretly cross the border from Mexico. In the end, all charges against Dominguez were dropped. Damm, an art professor at the Bauhaus Institute in Weimar, Germany, flew in for the opening to explain her two video pieces in the show. One documents how Damm was hooked up with electrodes to a very old oak tree in the Weimar Forest, which passed an amplified signal from the
tree through her body from her hair out her toes. UCSD music professor Rosenberger recorded the signals that passed through Damm’s body, turned them into pitches, and used the pitches to create a musical score. Damm said the experience of being connected to the tree was “very relaxing, emptied my head of all thoughts, and led me to a state of quietude … I learned to ask the trees ... can I give all my thoughts to you? They always said yes.” Damm’s second video was a computerenhanced surveillance video of a street intersection where images were artistically transformed, such as by adding afterimages to create a moving painting. The video also included a musical score. It led the viewer to consider the difference between viewing a traditional, static painting and a moving video portrait where time and movement play a factor. UCSD Visual Arts lecturer Stalbaum followed up on the Transborder Immigrant Tool episode stating, “I am here to
s
odies! We are obsessed with them. How they look. How they dress. What they are doing. We are obsessed with both the real, physical bodies of our material world and the online imaginary bodies that inhabit the virtual worlds of the Internet and other forms electronic media. And we are fascinated with the burgeoning world where real bodies interact with virtual bodies; like when we wrestle with the controller playing a video game where soldiers shoot aliens, or when we sing along with a virtual cartoon figure like Hatsune Miku, or when we hook up to a medical device that monitors our vital signs and creates data driven images of our bodily processes. This fascination is addressed in a new art exhibition, “Body Practices,” up through Jan. 9 at the Calit2 Art Gallery on the UC San Diego campus. The exhibition is a survey of projects that explore real and virtual bodies and the space of their interaction. Trish Stone, who followed up on suggestions from the art committee that guides gallery activities, curated it.

A virtual body from the ‘Bodies INCorporated’ website throw down the gauntlet. I call upon members of the UCSD administration to explain publicly the reasoning that led them to pursue an investigation of this tool and subject Professor Dominguez to hardship and persecution. This seems to be part of the recent nationwide trend toward restrictions on academic freedom.” Other artists in the show (though not present at the exhibition introduction) included Desire Holman, Tamar Knight, Alex McLean, Bruce Cayo Newell and Victoria Vesna. Holman, an award-winning artist based
in Oakland, has two small acrylic paintings in the exhibit. Both were made by copying Kirlian photographs of the auras of futuristic architect Buckminster Fuller and English theosophist and social activist Amy Bresant. Knight, who teaches digital media in the UCSD Theater & Dance Department, has several short videos on the Japanese Internet cartoon phenomenon, Hatsune Miku, in the show. Hatsune is a fictional Japanese girl singer who gives animated video concerts online and projected on large outdoor screens. Fans, or any Internet user can write a song for Hatsume to sing online. McLean, deputy director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Scientific Research in Music in Leeds, England provided a video that shows the programming language in text used to create computer music. UCLA professor Vesna has four large photographs taken from her 20-year-old website “Bodies INCorporated” in the show. At this online site, viewers can create a virtual body for themselves. The photographs, which can be considered as a piece of Internet history, are very striking and remind one of the archaeology of ancient or alien civilizations. Stone said other events are being planned in connection with the exhibition, watch for them at gallery.calit2.net u n If you go: The exhibit is free and open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday through Jan. 9, 2015 at gallery@calit2 ion the first floor of UC San Diego’s Atkinson Hall, 9500 Gilman Drive.

A Saturday or Sunday holiday brunch is a warm, cozy, relaxing change from a formal soiree or dinner party. As brunch is the blending of breakfast and lunch fare, dishes can easily be prepared in advance and served at room temperature so the host can be mingling with guests instead of tinkering in the kitchen. Holiday sips can be whipped up and nicely chilled overnight like minty mimosas, cranberry Marys and spiced pear or ginger citrus spritzers. Soul-soothing warm drinks like praline coffee, Mexican hot chocolate or pumpkin chai tea can be ready and waiting in attractive, insulated carafes to serve when guests arrive. Instead of babysitting an omelet or other high maintenance egg dish, prepare in advance a smoked salmon frittata, Portobello and caramelized onion quiche, or baked crème brûlée French toast drizzled with drunken berries (see recipe at right). A smorgasbord of charcuterie from ginger rabbit and cherry venison to chicken sage and smoked duck sausages adds a hearty seasonal treat to the meal. Bake a pan of salted caramel brownies and a spiced apple coffee cake for your just desserts.

Tips for picking a yoga class
For those who don’t think they’re flexible enough to do yoga, Colleen Bourgeois, studio director of Bikram Yoga La Jolla, said, you won’t know until you try it. “I tell people to have no expectations. Go into the room with an attitude of ‘I’m trying something new.’ Going in with the right attitude, anyone can do it,” she said. According to Wikipedia, the term yoga is derived from the literal meaning of “yoking together” a span of horses or oxen, but came to be applied to the “yoking” of mind and body. Yoga and meditation are components of religious practices with Hinduism and Buddhism. Benefits include increased flexibility, reduced stress, increased muscle strength, cardiovascular health, and more.
■ Know what type is being offered (see below). ■ C onsider what the class is called. Want something mellow? Look for words like “gentle” and “slow.” Want something more active? Look for words like “flow” and “power.” Some classes will say both, so you’ll get a little of each. ■ L ook at the time it’s scheduled. After-work classes tend to be busier, classes during the day, less busy.
Key yoga terms ■ Vinyasa: Movement-based flowing yoga that practices connecting one breath to one movement. ■ Hatha: A practice in which postures are held longer and transitions are slower. More gentle than vinyasa.
Turn it up
■ Yin: A very slow practice, where postures are held for minutes at a time, that focuses on the meditative aspects of yoga. they get here,” she said. Bourgeois said some people think they can’t handle the heat, but with the right attitude, they can (but drinking lots of water is encouraged). “Everyone can do this series to some degree,” she said. “New people who have never done yoga in their lives, as well as seasoned practitioners, really enjoy it.” n If you go: Bikram Yoga La Jolla, 565 Pearl St. (858) 454-8642.

Go with the flow Buddhi Yoga co-owners Vivas and Amanda McCarroll formerly taught at La Jolla Yoga Center, a prominent studio in the Village until it closed in August. They decided to open their own practice and found a small space, suitable for one class at a time, and began teaching. “We mostly practice vinyasa (movement based flow yoga) and hatha (stretch based slower yoga),” Vivas said. “But we also teach
Every stage of life
At Prana Yoga, a fixture in La Jolla for over a decade, classes are tailored to one’s needs and skill level. “We recognize that there is no ‘one size fits all class’ and therefore we offer a large variety of classes — from a strong vinyasa flow class, to hatha, healthy back, restorative, meditation, prenatal, teen and even senior chair yoga,” said Gerhard Gessner, owner and founder of Prana Yoga. Alexandria Gessner, wife and co-owner, said when practitioners come looking for what class might be right for them, she asks about their lifestyle, other forms of exercise and what they hope to accomplish.
s
Bikram Yoga La Jolla is the only studio in La Jolla specializing in heated classes. “Bikram is a combination of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, and we do every posture twice. The room is heated to 105 degrees with 45 percent humidity,” said Bourgeois. She explained that every class goes through the same sequence in the same order, and the heat is conducive to deeper stretching and is comforting for those with arthritis. The heat also encourages sweating, a natural form of detoxification. Further, Bourgeois said the heat adds another level to the exercise, which is part of the purpose. “When people work out, they want to be challenged, so that’s what
a class called Buddhi flow, which is a vinyasa class with our spin on it that focuses on creative flows — stuff you won’t see at other studios.” McCarroll added that classes are kept fairly consistent to give beginners sufficient practice, but they offer classes at varying levels of difficulty. During a beginner class, transitions between poses would not happen as quickly and something “challenging” (like standing on your head) would not happen as often. During a more advanced class, participants would engage in more challenging postures more often. The studio offers 5-7 classes a day to reflect the schedule taught at the old La Jolla Yoga Center. n If you go: Buddhi Yoga, 7843 Girard Ave., Suite F (upstairs). (858) 886-7580.

the truth Behind feeling Burned out These days, men and women feel a lot of pressure to succeed in the modern world. This undoubtedly creates a lot of tension, and therefore the drive to relieve this tension is unmistakably ever-present. This, unfortunately, results in a wide assortment of compromised forms of relief. But feeling
better is not necessarily the same as feeling emotionally healthy. Let us explore of those compromised forms of relief more commonly knows as “burnout.” Men and women who work really hard do so with the belief that there is a positive outcome at the end of it all. As destructive as excessive overworking can be, we fantasize that there will be a positive outcome. That fantasized outcome is that others will appreciate us for how hard we work for them. Sometimes this works to cover up the deeper pain and sometimes it doesn’t. Why? Because there is more going on. The mere act of fantasizing about others appreciating how hard we work, this anticipation of approval, reflects a deeper belief that their approval might not be
forthcoming. Attempting to deny that truth, we work hard, really hard, sometimes for days on end, weeks and months and then, exhausted and unmotivated, someone tells us that we are probably just burned out. So why did we drive ourselves into the ground? We will say that we were doing it for our family. Maybe inside we are still dreaming that someone will appreciate all our hard work. But in the emotional reality of human behavior, there is another explanation. Pop psychology calls it burnout, and it’s easy to accept such a diagnosis with a certain degree of pride that we work ourselves to the point of exhaustion. This heroism deserves to be recognized,
appreciated and rewarded, but it never is. The reason why burnout is never rewarded is because we created this opportunity to work ourselves into exhaustion in order to cover up some deeper feelings. The brain of other people know this and is not impressed. The capacity for the human brain to protect itself by engaging in feelings and behaviors that distract it from the true feelings and nature of its being is simply a survival strategy designed to keep it working, to keep it productive, and to ensure its survival.

The aerial classes are conducted on the rooftop deck, from which there is an ocean view, which Gerschler calls “amazing,” and offered in levels based on how strong a participant feels. For beginners, there is a slower paced class called gentle healing. Other types of yoga held in the indoor studio include vinyasa, hatha and yin.

Riffs Studios in Bird Rock, formerly the Yoga Yard, offers classes outdoors, and takes advantage of the adjoining guitar shop. “We do live music with our classes every day,” said owner Steve Hart. “The time changes depending on the musician’s schedule, but we generally have live music during our 5:30 and 7 p.m. classes Monday through Friday, and Saturday morning at 9 and 10:30 a.m.” The space has a 30-person capacity. The musicians, Hart said, “vibe with the teachers and students to create a cool atmosphere.” The classes are held in a natural setting for “an ocean breeze and birds chirping.” “We try to bring in more than just the physical component of yoga,”Hart said. “We have classes that engage the mind, body and soul. Having the live music adds an extra connection.”
Yoga participants take poses, such as upward facing dog (pictured), as far as they are comfortable during a class at Buddhi Yoga. Photos by Ashley Mackin Riffs also offers yin yoga, a slow type of meditation-oriented yoga. Participants are seated the entire time, and hold a pose for three to five minutes. n If you go: Riff’s Studio, 5510 La Jolla Blvd. (858) 456-2477. Established: 2012. Cost: $14 drop-in, with class packages available. RiffsStudios.com/yoga.php
Take it to new heights At Trilogy Sanctuary, another new studio in the Village, the unique offering is aerial yoga, during which participants are
suspended in hammock-like silk cloths. Trilogy Sanctuary studio manager Karina Gerschler said with the aerial classes, there is an added level of support, encouraging participants to hold poses longer than they might have been able to without the support, and most feel a deeper stretch thanks to the element of gravity. “The instructors are certified (in aerial yoga) and monitor participants’ alignment and ability,” she said. “So in the end, it’s up to the student to see how far they want to take a certain pose.”

Women’s Elite Yoga in La Jolla (as the name suggests) has classes primarily for women, although a handful of classes are open to both sexes. “The idea behind the studio was to create a space for women to come and have a healthy wellness place to do yoga. We are all very supportive,” said Kristen Crawford, studio manager. Part of that support system is to offer classes just for those who are new. “Our Yoga Basics class is the absolute beginning level,” Crawford said. “You learn alignment and how to use props, and can ask questions.” In keeping with the needs of its female clientele, the studio offers a tone-up class that integrates weights, and a prenatal class. Other classes offered include heated classes at varying levels and non-heated classes in hatha, vinyasa and yin styles.

Security experts offer tips for safer holidays K In an emergency, call 9-1-1. If you see something, say something. Report suspicious activity to the police by calling the non-emergency line at (619) 531-2000.
eep the Grinch and other cunning crooks away by following crime prevention advice from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department:
Out and About
Cyber Crimes
n Shop during the daytime when possible and shop with a friend. n Be aware of your surroundings. n Don’t overload your arms with packages and bags while shopping. n Park in a well-lit area. n Have keys out and ready when approaching your car. n Be aware of how you carry your purse or wallet. Would it be easy for someone to take it? n When out shopping, lock your car doors and take valuables with you. n When storing items purchased at the stores, place them out of sight. The best place is in a locked trunk.
At Home
n Always lock your doors and windows, especially at night and when you’re away. n Avoid opening doors to strangers. n Place gifts and valuables where they cannot be seen from outside your home. n Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Specialists offer a free security check to show vulnerabilities in your home. For more information, visit sdsheriff.net/patrol n After opening presents, don’t pile up empty gift boxes on the street. This gives burglars a hint of expensive items in your home. Instead, keep boxes inside until the night before your garbage pickup. If you see someone casing your alley, report suspicious activity to the non-emergency line at (619) 531-2000.
When Going on Vacation
n Lock up your home and activate your alarm. n Don’t share your plans on social media. n Sign up for a free vacation check so Sheriff’s Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) members can keep an eye on your home at sdsheriff.net n Hold the delivery of your mail and newspaper or ask a trusted friend to pick them up for you. n Ask a neighbor to occasionally park in your driveway.
Crisis Lines
If you need someone to talk to during the holiday season, the county crisis hotline is open 24 hours per day at (888) 724-7240.
During the holidays, an estimated 255 million shoppers will spend about $61.4 billion. Unfortunately, $5.4 billion is lost due to cybercrime. Holiday shopping creates a gateway and target for cyber criminals. Securing Our eCity Foundation, a San Diego non-profit focused on cybersecurity, awareness and education, offers these cyber security tips. n Limit the amount of shopping you conduct on shared WiFi hotspots and adjust the security on your device to limit who can access your phone/computer. n Beware of fraudulent texting, calling, voicemails and e-mails. Requests for personal information or immediate action are almost always scam. n Naughty apps will be around this holiday season to trick you. Beware of legit-looking, but potentially malicious shopping apps and dubious sources. Download only apps signed by reputable retailers. If in doubt, don’t download. n Protect your money! When banking and shopping, check to be sure the site is security enabled. Look for addresses with “https://” and/or “shttp://” which mean the site helps secure your information. n Consider buying yourself a gift card directly from your financial institution. This will help protect not only your checking and savings account from cyber criminals, but will help you stick to your budget for gift-giving. u — For more information, visit securingourecity.org or call (619) 630-2444. — For more on e-scams, visit fbi.gov/scams-safety/e-scams

Part of the process At least two retailers in La Jolla offer yoga classes in their space, and one studio offers yoga as one of its eight healing components. n Lululemon offers a free class at 7835 Girard Ave. every Sunday morning at 9 a.m. said Calli Mechem, product educator. “It’s an all-level class, we pick instructors from across the community … and the type of yoga practiced is dependent on the instructor, but generally it’s a slow vinyasa because the instructors understand there are people of varying levels.” n At Lorna Jane, an active wear retailer located at 7840 Girard Ave., two unique yoga classes are offered. One is called Butti yoga, and focuses on leg and gluteal muscles. Another is called Buddhi yoga, which focuses on the spiritual aspects of yoga. There is a dedicated space in the back of the store for these free classes. They are offered at 9:15 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. daily. n At Eight Elements West, yoga is used
as a healing method, and joins Pilates, nutritional counseling, herbal remedies, massage, acupuncture and more in Eight Elements’ program at 6830 La Jolla Blvd. However, practitioners do not need to commit to the entire program to attend a yoga class. “We want students to walk away with better awareness of their musculoskeletal system and physiology (organs) to improve their basic health,” said founder Gloria Gonzalez. “We also promote pranayama (mindful breathing) to reduce stress and develop higher consciousness.”

Although not maintaining a studio, several local yoga instructors use community centers to offer yoga classes. To name a few, La Jolla’s Riford Library, Community Center, Woman’s Club, Rec Center, Eagle Martial Arts, the Cove Bridge Club and several churches, offer yoga classes as part of their programming, many targeted to seniors. Some instructors offer beach-view classes in local parks, like Calumet Park in Bird Rock. For the last 15 years, Jaruska Solyova has taught yoga at the Cove Bridge Club, on top of the private classes she runs. She said her classes focus on asanas (poses) for flexibility and pranayama (mindful breathing). Solyova said when it comes to breathing techniques, different types of breath (short inhales and long exhales or vice versa) will produce different results. She also tailors her class based on the needs of its participants. “Yoga is about mind, body and breath,” she said. u

James Leaming stars in a one-man version of ‘This Wonderful Life,’ adapted by Steve Murray at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, Dec. 10-28. Courtesy
It’s a one-man Christmas classic at North Coast Rep By Diana Saenger It takes an enormous amount of talent and a great deal of self-confidence for an actor to take on a one-person performance portraying many characters. Actor James Leaming seems to have both, receiving many accolades for tackling 32 characters in his one-man “This Wonderful Life,” making its San Diego premiere at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, Dec. 10-28. Leaming is a well-trained actor who has performed in regional theater for years. His company, American Blues Theater, produced a radio version of the play written by Joe Landry, where Leaming played George Bailey, made famous by Jimmy Stewart in the 1946 Frank Capra film “It’s a Wonderful Life.” “The solo version is written by Steve Murray,” Leaming said. “His version really preserves the heart of the story. It was originally conceived by Mark Setlock and adapted by Murray.” The play has been done many times, often with a lot of props, but Leaming uses minimal. He said he knows staging and what will make specific moments stand out. “I learned from radio plays that an audience’s imagination is much more powerful than anything I could bring onto the stage,” he said. “I’ve paired the show down to essential elements. I do my own sound effects, and because North Coast Rep’s stage is slightly smaller than most, it will be a very interesting re-imagining. It’s always different, we never do the same
show we did somewhere else. We do a show that comes alive in the new space.” Leaming’s wife, Carmen Roman, is directing, and his friend, Joe Huppert, who sometimes works at La Jolla Playhouse, will be adding new elements with visual projections. “There’s a lot of fun and simplicity to this show,” Leaming said. “From my point of view, it feels like we’re walking through the story together, and because I’m the narrator, sometimes I’ll depart from being a character to converse with the audience describing places or situations. “The heart of this adaptation is really right on, and it’s not a cold impersonation of people, it’s the spirit of them … for me, that’s the joy of telling their story … like the character, Mary, she’s strong and powerful.” The tale surely appeals to both young and mature audiences as it captures the heart of Americana. This production is sure to entertain and maybe reveal something new in its delivery. “It’s a love affair with the movie,” said Leaming, “And if I’ve done it correctly, the first thing one is going to want to do afterward, is go watch the film again.” u n IF YOU GO: “This Wonderful Life” runs Dec.10-28 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $38 at (858) 481-1055 and NorthCoastRep.org

True or false? At 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time (12:55 p.m. EST) on Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese fighter planes attacked the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, launching one of the deadliest attacks in American history. True. The assault, which lasted less than two hours, claimed the lives of more than 2,500 people, wounded 1,000 more and damaged or destroyed 18 American ships and nearly 300 airplanes. Almost half of the casualties at Pearl Harbor occurred on the naval battleship USS Arizona, which was hit four times by Japanese bombers.
