Summer marine life unusually active, wowing beachgoers and boaters BY MIKE MCCARTHY | VILLAGE NEWS Local beaches and offshore waters appear to be teeming with greater numbers of crowdpleasing — and even rarely seen — marine life this summer. July boasted sunny skies and warmer water, attracting heavy crowds to the beaches and unusual numbers of sea life for this time of year, according to experts. Killer whales that typically prefer colder waters have been sighted enjoying the nearby ocean for several weeks. Rare giant jellyfish, known as black sea nettles, have drifted onto San Diego beaches in large numbers. Blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, are typical visitors for this time of year. Even these behemoths seem to be increasing in numbers, according to observers. The blue whales, which normally are found several miles out at sea, have recently been observed from the shore-
line in La Jolla. Bottlenose dolphins have also been spotted enjoying the surf along Sunset Cliffs and Ocean Beach. The Risso’s dolphin species, another a rare visitor to local waters, has lately been entertaining boaters out in deeper water. Experts in the field agree that the recent swell in marine-life populations is due to the animals following their food supply. Experts said other species, like the black sea nettle jellyfish, are showing up in greater numbers because they are drifting along with the upwelling of deepocean currents. In July, dozens of the dark-burgundy colored jellyfish were spotted in San Diego Bay along the Point Loma shoreline. According to Craig Barilotti, a marine biologist who lives in Point Loma, black sea net-
A former fencing coach at La Jolla Country Day School who is facing charges of molesting a student was arrested Aug. 2 at the courthouse when a prosecutor filed a new case against him. Vijay Prasad, 51, pleaded not guilty to the new charges, which allege he molested a minor in 2002. The charges include eight felony counts, including sexual penetration and oral copulation with a minor. The facts of the new case were not discussed in the arraignment before San Diego Superior Court Judge David Szumowski, and Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth McClutchey couldn’t comment on the case. Prasad was initially charged in February with 13 counts of oral copulation with a minor, digital penetration, sodomy and lewd acts with a minor that started in March 2005. He had been free on $200,000 bond. Prasad agreed on April 30 to stand trial on those 13 charges without having a preliminary hearing in which the victim — now an adult — would likely have testified. The judge increased Prasad’s bail to $300,000 in the earlier case and set bail at $150,000 for the new case. He remains in custody. A Sept. 21 trial date was set for the first case, and Aug. 30 was selected for a preliminary hearing on the new case. Prasad operated an after-school fencing program at Country Day, but is no longer employed there. — Neal Putnam

One of the so-called “Bird Rock Bandits,” Eric House, 25, failed to appear in court on Aug. 6, where he was scheduled to formally answer to misdemeanor charges for battery and violating a restraining order at his girlfriend’s Pacific Beach apartment in late June. After failing to appear in court for his arraignment, San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide issued a $30,000 bench warrant for his arrest. House and five other men, dubbed the Bird Rock Bandits, previously served time for their involvement in the second-degree murder of La Jolla surfer Emery Kauanui, 24, in 2007 after a street fight that led to the death of the professional surfer.

tles are relatively rare and are usually found in deep water along the Pacific Coast. Barilotti said this particular species is actually more complex than most jellyfish and often has a main body — or “bell” — that measures up to three feet and tentacles extending up to 25 feet. The species is carnivorous and preys on plankton and other jellyfish. To humans, their sting is nonlethal, but painful, and contact should be avoided, said Barilotti. And the proliferation of unusual sightings doesn’t stop there. “We’re seeing more sea life now than ever before,” claims Janet Morris of the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park.

Council okays Children’s Pool lifeguard station A new lifeguard station at Children’s Pool in La Jolla is closer to construction after the San Diego City Council voted 70 July 31 to transfer funds from four sources to total $2.7 million for the project. The council approved a contract with Stronghold Engineering for design and construction. They were the lowest successful bidder among four proposal packages, but all of the bids came in higher
its services off the chopping block received a coup last week when Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-53rd) introduced the Community Post Office Relocation Act. The bill is designed to help save post offices that have been slated for relocation by the USPS by offering the communities in which they’re located the first opportunity to purchase them at fair market value. The community could then choose to lease part or all of the space back to the USPS. Congressmen Brian Bilbray (R50th) and Bob Filner (D-51st) also signed the bill. One reason for the bill, said Leslie Davis, was to bridge the communication gap between the USPS and those fighting to save the La Jolla post office.
The USPS, meanwhile, clearly got the message. Within 24 hours of the introduction of the bill to Congress, a representative of the USPS contacted Congresswoman Davis’ chief of staff in regards to the bill. “That is a positive sign of engagement on the part of the USPS,” said Leslie Davis. “It opens up those lines of communication, which are necessary to come to a beneficial outcome.” The fight, however, is far from over, she said. The three politicians (Davis, Bilbray and Filner) who have already declared their support for the bill may not be enough to push it through, and the key to its success may well lie with Congressman Darrell Issa (R-49th). Issa spearheaded the Postal Reform
Act, which aims to restructure the USPS and bring it out of fiscal insolvency through various reforms — including allowing financially unsustainable post offices to be closed. Though it would seem on the surface like a hard sell — getting a politician who introduced legislation making it possible for the USPS to sell retail outlets on board with supporting legislation making it more difficult for the Postal Service to get the maximum potential profit from such sales — there is another factor at play. Issa, whose 49th District’s western edge previously extended only about as far south as Palomar Airport, will have a new community — and a new constituency — SEE POST OFFICE, Page 6

BUSINESSbrief The La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology was recently ranked as one of the top 10 “Best Places to Work in Academia” by The Scientist magazine, marking the center’s second honor of its kind this year. Another award was given in April, naming it one of the top 10 “Best Places to Work for Postdocs,” according to surveys by the same magazine. “It’s obvious that something very right is going on at the La Jolla Institute,” said John Major, chairman of the institute’s board of directors. “These survey results are a reflection of the cutting-edge science and collegial environment that sets the Institute apart from many other research organizations.” Institute employees attribute the
friendly, collaborative atmosphere, quality scientific research and culture of transparency and management responsiveness as reasons for being able to attract the highest caliber of researchers in the field. “I think everyone feels that the Institute is a little bit theirs, they are proud to be there,” said long-time faculty member Hilde Cheroutre. “We see the institute’s reputation growing and each one of us feels that we are all contributing to it. We feel part of its success.” The institute — one of the top biomedical research nonprofits in the world — focuses on improving human health by increasing understanding of the immune system, disease prevention through vaccines and the treatment and cure of diseases.

Cardio Barre is shaping up to be a popular new studio for La Jollans to get a high-energy, fat-burning workout without the strain of high impact to muscles and joints. The innovative workout focuses on sculpting long, lean muscles by embracing toning and resistance exercises and continual fat-burning motions in noimpact, ballet-inspired workouts. “Cardio Barre combines weight training, flexibility and cardio moves in a no-impact, one-hour session,” said owner Christiana Jebran. “Using the ballet barre helps isolate muscle groups, which becomes very effective in body sculpting. It gives you the core strength to lift your own body weight. At Cardio Barre, the exercises lengthen and strengthen muscles while burning fat.” The revolutionary new exercise class was created in Los Angeles by dancer-choreographer Richard Giorla, who channeled more than 25 years of classical dance training and fitness to bring together the best of both worlds in an ideal, no-impact cardio workout. The classes quickly became popular among celebrities, with the likes of Dakota Fanning, Jenna Elfman, Amanda Bynes and Roslyn Sanchez attending classes in Hollywood on a regular basis. La Jolla Cardio Barre owner Jebran launched the studio on Fay Avenue on July 23, marking the first of Cardio Barre’s 11 studios to open in San Diego County. After attending the exercise classes four times a week,
Jebran, herself a Cardio Barre success story, lost six dress sizes in just five months. Now, she wants to spread the benefit to others in the community at her very own Villagebased studio. “We thought Cardio Barre is a great fit for an active community like La Jolla. It is a high-energy, fastpaced exercise class done at a ballet barre. Richard Giorla’s philosophy of elongation of muscles combined with fat-burning movements that are noimpact is completely new,” she said. “When you walk in to a Cardio Barre studio you see welcoming front desk staff, well trained, motivating and friendly instructors, a clean studio, altogether a five star service.” Although classes are only allowed for those 14 years and older, the class can be modified to cater to any indi-

scuttled by construction of the Bird Rock Avenue roundabout, which would have interfered with truck deliveries. Bird Rock Station, Krambs initial proposal submitted more than four years ago to redevelop the site, called for a 20,507-square-foot, three-story building for a ground-floor gourmet grocery store/deli with underground parking and 11 condos on two stories above. Krambs and then-architect Mark Lyon maintained two stories were needed for residential to make the project economically viable. They argued at the time that three stories would allow for greater design articulation, likening it to a “layer cake” precluding a box-like appearance. The community response to the proposed three stories was largely negative, with local planners and neighbors insisting it violated the community’s PDO. A grassroots “no three stories” campaign ensued, replete with yard signs and lawsuits against the project.
Community opposition culminated in a 2010 ruling by Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Prager that Bird Rock Station could have significant environmental impacts, and that a full environmental impact report was therefore required. Fast-forward two years to Krambs’ revised, two-story proposal, which thus far has met with mostly positive reviews — even from staunch opponents of Bird Rock Station. “This is a far superior project to what was offered before,” said LJCPA member Mike Costello, an outspoken critic of the previous Bird Rock Station, who’d argued the intent of the PDO adopted 20 years ago was to create a transitional “buffer” between commercial and residential uses. Costello argued at the time that it was unfair for the proposed threestory Bird Rock Station “to come along and change the rules.” “Before it was a rallying point for, ‘Let’s protect our community,’ ” said Costello. “This doesn’t violate any laws or codes.
It’s a far friendlier project now, has nice appeal from the street.” Costello, however, cast a dissenting vote on the project at the Aug. 2 LJCPA meeting. Though he mostly approved of the project’s redesign, he opposes the proposal to include tandem parking. “Tandem parking saves space, but I have a problem with it because two cars share space, one pulls in and the other pulls behind it and the person in first has to be out first, requiring more than normal effort,” he said. Costello’s solution would be to abandon tandem and sacrifice commercial building space in favor of creating standard on-site parking. Another previous opponent of Bird Rock Station, Darcy Ashley, former La Jolla Town Council president who lives directly behind the proposed development, said she can support it now that it’s been redesigned. “It’s getting good reviews, positive feedback — it has my stamp of
approval,” she said. “It has a lot of articulation with higher ceilings and uses many different materials, making it highly desirable retail space. “They are building to the letter of the law, in compliance with the PDO and the municipal code and they’re not looking for exceptions. There’s no variances or deviations,” Ashley continued. “This is as uncontroversial as they come.” Ashley said going from three stories down to two in project redesign has made a world of difference in how the project is being publicly received. “It was a huge sense of relief that we weren’t going to have to battle over three stories again,” she said. Noting the community’s previous opposition to Bird Rock Station “was not about personalities, but about the project,” Ashley said, “If the project’s a good one, it’s a good one. “I just hope they put something (retail) in I’d like to go to because of the convenience,” she concluded.
of an increase in rodent activity because of the outside production. Parker added there’s also a question as to whether the fencing surrounding the bakery’s back lot has been done appropriately. “We’re just conducting business as normal. I’m a little confused by this,” said Heath Squire of Julian Bakery, who noted the business has been operating at the same location in Bird Rock since 1990. Squire said the bakery is getting truck deliveries, as it always has, during regular business hours. “It’s business as usual,” he said. “Our deliveries only last a few minutes. We’ve been receiving the same deliveries — FedEx, boxes and bags of grain, stuff like that — regular deliveries we’ve been getting for four years.”
Squire said the bakery is working hard to ensure its operations are legitimate. “We don’t have anything that’s out of code,” he said. “We’re working with the city of San Diego, submitting plans and so forth. They said they wanted [the parking lot] fenced. So that’s what we did.” Julian Bakery began in the community for which it is named in the mountains of East County, later expanding into Bird Rock. Its bread products retail locally, as well as being wholesaled to health-food stores, major grocery chains and directly online nationwide to consumers. According to the company’s website, Julian Bakery’s standard is to “select wholesome, chemical-free grains, seeds
and nuts stone-ground with a slow culturing process to provide full amino acids and complex carbohydrates.” “It is the same concept as fresh ground coffee,” nutritionist and proprietor Barbara Squire states on the website. “All our main grains are organically grown, free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.” One of many problems the community has with Julian Bakery, contends BRCC’s Parker, is that whenever one issue seems to get resolved, another springs up to take its place. A case in point, he said, were permanent access structures in Julian’s parking lot, which the bakery removed after community complaints to the city. “The same problem reappeared — just in a different form,” Parker said.
“Instead of permanent structures, they put up tents and continued their production activities.” The operations of any Bird Rock business that displaces parking reflects badly on the majority of merchants who comply with their parking agreements, Parker said. And that parking, he continued, is at a premium. As soon as a space on La Jolla Boulevard opens up, he said, “It’s immediately occupied, which tells me the parking shortage is real and on the rise.” San Diego’s code compliance department could not be reached for comment.

The group even drafted a sample letter from which letter writers can pull paragraphs or copy in full. The task force will man a booth at the Aug. 12 La Jolla Open Aire Market with information, envelopes, stamps and even the chance to sit down right there and pen a letter. They will meet at 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 17 to walk as a group — with community members
invited to join — to the post office to mail the letters. Those trying to save the post office are hoping to show policy makers that the Wall Street building represents not only revenue — or lack thereof — for the Postal Service, but an iconic community hub that means more than money to the residents that gather there, said Davis. And if the future of the post office hinges on political might, residents can flex their power with their votes. “We’re hoping we can use the politicians to assist us from both sides of the aisle,” she said. “What it comes down to is there are a lot more voters than there are potential buyers [of the post office].”

[This is] someone who is a million times more proficient than me in video games and computer technology and information technology. Their method of learning is very different than the way I learned or I was trained to learn many, many years ago,” he said. The chancellor indicated his hope to bring more technology into the classroom to cater to the learning styles of a new age of students. “I’m talking about collaborative learning styles. How do we use social networking in peer groups and having these students learn from each other? How do faculty members get involved in this? There’s a whole world of technology that has to be understood and it’s important. We still have a lot to understand, but I
think we can start by employing more technology,” he said.

She later served as the undersecretary and director of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Woodford said there have been 140 death row exonerations in the United States since 1973, and that even in states that purport to have a speedy process, it takes on average more than 15 years before an inmate is executed. Since she started her corrections career in 1978, only 13 people have been put to death.

the most effective way to keep communities safe. “The death penalty robs us of that opportunity each and every day in California,” Woodford said. Opponents of Prop. 34 argue that abolishing the death penalty is unfair to victim’s family members who have lost loved ones, and that a better way to cut costs is to reduce excessive delays caused by endless appeals and carry out the executions of those sentenced to death. Among those opposed to the initiative include the Peace Officers Research Association of California Political Issues Committee, Kern County Prosecutors Association, Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff ’s Association and the Riverside County Deputy District Attorneys Association PAC.

“I feel as if I can talk about this issue as few others can, because I’ve seen it from all points of view and I know how expensive and costly and how broken the death penalty is,” said Woodford, who said her argument is not moral, but about dollars and cents. “In fact, what we have is inmates serving life without the possibility of parole who have a death sentence, but we continue to spend millions of dollars on their incarceration, because of how we house death row inmates and on their appeals and legal issues.” According to a comprehensive analysis of the death penalty’s costs, since it was reinstated in 1978, California has spent more than $4 billion on capital punishment, or about $308 million per execution. Woodford said that with limited criminal justice dollars, it’s a public policy issue and the most appropriate thing to do is spend that money in

BY DAVE SCHWAB | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Traffic & Transportation (T&T) board conditionally approved valet parking requested by Barfly sports bar and restaurant, located at 909 Prospect St., though at least one member expressed fear there is too much valet service in the Village already. At the July 26 meeting, board members voted 4-1 denying Barfly’s request, with one abstention. Keith Kelman, Tom Brady, chairman Todd Lesser and Michelle Fulks all favored a motion recommending approval of Barfly’s valet request, providing the restaurant provides proper street signage. Troy Martin of Finest City Valet, which contracts with Barfly for valet parking, addressed the board’s concerns. “We’ll have a sign that says, ‘Valet parking open, public welcome,’ ” he said. Finest City, he said, has contracted for a year with Barfly using a passenger loading zone in front of the restaurant and underground parking. “We don’t want to obstruct traffic on Prospect.” After the meeting, Lesser said a master plan that has been in the works for some time is presently at a standstill. Previously, the group wanted to have comprehensive management in place before approving any additional valet parking spots in the Village. Critics claim valet service deprives the public of much-needed, on-street parking while causing traffic disruption. Lesser noted there have been problems previously with valet with the use of red cones extending out into
“Passenger loading zones are an incredible waste our parking space because you can only stay three minutes... This is a better utilization of that space, and it’s going to provide more parking for La Jolla.” KEITH KELMAN Traffic and Transportation streets in the Village which he said, “confuse people,” making them wonder, ‘Where do I drive?’” Nonetheless, Lesser said he thinks valet service can be useful. “If managed properly, valet parking is an effective way to help maximize the usage of the limited number of parking places that we have in the Village,” he said. “In coordination with the city, the La Jolla (Village) Merchant’s Association and the T&T board, I’m hopeful that we can come up with a comprehensive valet parking plan that will cover the entire Village.” Kelman agreed that valet could be an effective way to improve parking in the Village. “Passenger loading zones are an incredible waste of our parking space because you can only stay three minutes and you can’t leave your car or you can get a ticket,” he said. “This is a better utilization of that space, and it’s going to provide more parking for La Jolla.” Board member Dan Courtney disagreed with the group majority.
“I feel there are too many white [painted curb] passenger loading zones and too many valet spots, especially along Prospect. It’s important to keep open free parking. This is too long a stretch and too broad a spread of hours.” DAN COURTNEY Traffic and Transportation “I feel there are too many white [painted curb] passenger loading zones and too many valet spots, especially along Prospect,” said Courtney before casting his “no” vote at the end of the meeting. “It’s important to keep open free parking. This is too long a stretch and too broad a spread of hours.” The valet requested is for a maximum 30 spots underneath Barfly operating from 4 p.m. to midnight Mondays through Thursdays, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to midnight Sundays. T&T’s recommendation favoring valet at Barfly will be forwarded to the LJCPA for ratification before being sent to the city of San Diego for implementation. A 10-member committee of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), T&T is comprised of members drawn from five La Jolla planning groups. T&T makes recommendations on street issues (striping, stop signs, traffic calming) and parking (curb colors, time limits, valet service and special events).

Did You Hear Me? Remember when you were young and your parents were lecturing you and at the end would say “Did you hear what I said?” You would say “yes” and continue on with your own thoughts. Today, as adults, we find ourselves in a reverse situation. Chil-

Linda calls her mother every night after work and gets the same answer to every question she asks – “Everything’s fine.” Assuming that “everything is fine” and that her mother knows and does what is best may be putting them at risk.

BirdStock: Takin’ It To The Streets, a free community street fair benefiting Bird Rock Elementary School on Saturday, Aug. 11 will combine the best of previous Taste of Bird Rock and BirdStock fundraisers. “We’re hoping this is ultimately going to become the community event that replaces the Taste of Bird Rock that once was,” said Felicia Parker of Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC), hosts of the decade-long signature community event that will close La Jolla Boulevard between

“We don’t know if this event will build up quite as fast as to get those [Taste of Bird Rock] numbers. But we’re fortunate to have the support of community merchants.” FELICIA PARKER Bird Rock Community Council Midway and Camino de la Costa. The school fundraiser started out as Taste Of, a weekday evening block party held for seven years along the community’s commercial strip on La Jolla Boulevard. Unfortunately, the event’s immense popularity led to alcoholand parking-related problems, causing it to be “reinvented.” It came back the following two years as BirdStock, a community picnic and concert held at the park adjoining the elementary school. Highlights of Takin’ It To The Street’s family-friendly summer extravaganza are to include live music headlined by The Jones Revival, food trucks selling every-
thing from the commonplace to the gourmet, a “chalk la strada” interactive street mural, surfinspired activities, food and raffles at Bird Rock Surf Shop and a special appearance by “Chopper the Biker Dog,” a motorcycle-riding Boston terrier therapy hound. Specials will be offered by restaurants on La Jolla Boulevard during and after the event. Though free, event donations are welcome. Children’s activities, including jumpees, facepainting and more, are available with the purchase of a wrist-band for $15 the day of the event and $10 prior. Wristbands can be purchased in advance at La Jolla Mailbox Rental, 5666 La Jolla Blvd., and Bird Rock Coffee Roasters at 5627 La Jolla Blvd. “This is going to be a building year for us,” said Parker of 2012’s hybridized fundraiser, which seeks to merge the widespread appeal of Taste Of’s block party with BirdStock’s folksy charm and homegrown feel.

Starry, starry nights
SOCIETY Doing as the Romans do…
with Vincent Andrunas La Jolla’s premiere women’s philanthropic group, Las Patronas (LP), held its 66th annual Jewel Ball Saturday night. Ball chairwoman Elaine Murphy, herself of Italian derivation (the Irish surname came from husband Tom), chose the theme “Passeggiata!” Translated literally, it’s an evening stroll; an Italian social tradition wherein friends walk through town, joining other friends along the way, often beginning with cocktails and progressing to dining and dancing into the early morning hours. Sounds a lot like a typical Jewel Ball, but this one transported guests across time and space to the romance and excitement of 1960s Rome. Gone was the war’s destruction, replaced by new growth and ideas. The 1960 Olympics brought renewed tourism to the eternal city. An era of optimism had dawned. People happily socialized, enjoying new music and cinema — think “Roman Holiday” and “La Dolce Vita.” The 50 active LP members, including Ball co-chairs Cathy Carroll and Erin Wyer, Design chair Melinda Mahoney, and tables chair (how’s that for a title?) Kathryn Gaynor, transformed the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club — the Ball’s traditional venue — into a lovely slice of Italy. Planning and preparation took a full year (in case you hadn’t heard, Rome wasn’t built in a day). Topical touches were everywhere. Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Vespas were parked at the entrance. Even the city’s infamous pigeons were represented. (They were either very well trained, or clever fakes.) An early VIP reception for major event underwriters featured special hors d’oeuvres and libations donated by Campine Catering. The drink of the night was the “Passeggiata,” made with Campari, a bit of bitters and brut champagne. The main party (totally sold out) commenced at 7 p.m. Soon, more than 800 guests were enjoying cocktails, wines, a seafood bar, a fresh sushi bar, sliders and — of course — pizza (thanks to Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza Kitchen). An array of exceptionally fine imported Italian specialties offered enough prosciutto, exotic salamis, flavorful cheeses, assorted olives and artisan breads to make Julius Caesar envious. For those who’d rather bid than bite, silent auction tables offered a Dragon Red Vespa, travel packages and more. A special surprise arrived just before dinner. The USC Trojan Marching Band, 20 strong, in full uniforms (including dark sunglasses), marched onto the bridge that had been built to span the pool and played a couple of numbers before leading the guests into the dining area. Taking the stage, they played a few more, including “Tusk,” the big hit the 1979 band played with Fleetwood Mac. That’s what can happen when the Ball chair is a USC alumnus who knows how to get things done! Music punctuated the entire evening. An opera singer performed in multiple languages, and later Anthology’s house band performed

BIRDSTOCK CONTINUED FROM Page 9
Noting problems with Taste Of stemmed from its becoming a weeknight “happy hour-themed event,” Parker said moving it to Saturday afternoon “makes it more available and open so the community can just walk down and enjoy it.” One thing about Taste Of will be hard to duplicate: it’s profitability. “The school really misses the proceeds that were raised from that event,” said Parker, noting Taste Of raised $6,000 its first year, tripling to $18,000 by its sixth year and more than quadrupling to $25,000 its seventh and final year. BRCC is hoping to recapture and rebuild event proceeds with its new summer street-fair concept. “We don’t know if this event will build up quite as fast as to get those numbers,” Parker said. “But we’re fortunate to have the support of community merchants.” Pointing out community events can only exist with community support, something Parker said “Bird Rock prides itself on,” she added, “There are a few people who always stand up to support and donate knowing it will benefit the school despite the fact that they don’t have children at the school.” Parker cited Chuck Patton, owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, as a prime example of such community support. “He has been the single sponsor that has never declined to help,” she said. Honorable mentions, she added, go to other local businesses like Square Pegs and Ideaworks, which donated time and expertise to designing and printing posters promoting this year’s revitalized festival.
Community fundraising efforts are greatly appreciated — and needed, said Jennifer Ziegaus Wahl, president of the Bird Rock Foundation and a Bird Rock Elementary parent. “The Bird Rock Foundation is so grateful to again have the support of the community,” she said. “The BRCC has donated more than $100,000 to Bird Rock Elementary over the last 10 years from these types of events. This has helped offset the ever-increasing state budget cuts to education.” Without the support of the BRCC, Las Patronas and many local businesses, Ziegaus Wahl said, “Our children would suffer and go without essential things like physical education, computer lab, and art and music classes that the state does not fund anymore.” The school foundation board of directors decides how to spend the money after consulting with the elementary school principal and teachers, said Ziegaus Wahl. “Largest areas of expenditure have been PE program, art program, computer lab program and music program,” she said. “In addition, the foundation funds class-size reduction by paying for support teachers across grade levels.” BirdStock: Takin’ it to the Streets will run from noon to 4 p.m. on Aug. 11, with the street blocked off from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner's office helped out in cutting event costs by contributing funds for traffic control and other expenses. For community members that can’t make it out to the festival, Bird Rock’s residents-only picnic catered by Beaumont’s Restaurant will be Wednesday, Aug. 29 at 6 p.m. at Calumet Park.

This week in La Jolla history... From Linda Pequegnat’s “This Day in San Diego History”
Aug. 10, 1899 The San Diego City Council passed an ordinance to set aside 369 acres of pueblo lands, where rare Torrey pine trees were growing as a public park. The ordinance stated that “there is growing upon said lands certain rare and valuable trees known as Pinus Torreyana, it is the wish and desire of the City of San Diego to preserve these trees.” This was four years before the state of California opened the first state park to protect the coastal redwoods in northern California. The Torrey pines are known from only two places in the world — the Torrey Pines Park above the ocean cliffs between La Jolla and Del mar and also on Santa Rosa Island, one of the Channel Islands offshore from Santa Barbara — some 175 miles from the mainland grove of Torrey Pines in San Diego. Even though the Indians were known to have come to the coast to gather pine nuts from the trees in this area, and even though the Spanish explorers who began charting the California coast in the sixteenth century used these pine-crested sea cliffs — called Punta de los Arboles (Point of Trees) — as a navigational aid, the first scientific attempt to describe the trees did not come until the 1850s when Charles Christopher Parry, botanist of the
11
U.S./Mex-ican Boundary Survey, came upon the grove. Parry recognized the pine trees as possibly a new species. He sent a sample to the renowned botanist John Torrey, who verified that the pine trees were a species previously un-known to science. Perry named the new species Pinus torreyana in honor of his respected botanist colleague. Later, between the years of 1908 and 1912, Ellen Browning Scripps contributed more acreage to the park by buying up pueblo lots from owners who were planning to develop the land, thereby saving some of the finest specimens of Torrey pine for inclusion in the park. Ellen Browning Scripps and her brother, E.W. Scripps also provided a road to the park. As early as 1916 and again in the 1940s, there were concerns about the safety of the Torrey pines in the park. Due to the efforts of Guy Fleming, former manager of the park, and many others, the Torrey Pines Association was formed in 1950 for the purpose of transferring Torrey Pines Park to the California Department of Parks and Recreation. This finally occurred in 1959. The park is now known as Torrey Pines State Reserve and now contains nearly 1,750 acres, consisting of beach, lagoon, cliffs and uplands.
Can Dogs Predict The Weather? For centuries, people have relied on the behavior of their animals to warn them about the weather. Dogs (and cats too) seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to predicting storms and other natural phenomenon. It’s never been proven. But given their extra-keen sensory abilities, animalsmay pick up minute changes in smells, sound levels, barometric pressure, even ozone levels. Why do some dogs react more than others? Fear can be triggered by any number of factors. Loud noises, such as thunder and fireworks, are some of the most common reasons for fear in pets. Fear is a normal reaction when an animal is faced with a situation it perceives as dangerous. However, pets suffering from a phobia and/ or chronic anxiety are often hypervigilant and easily startled. They may pant continuously, panic when they go outside, can’t be left alone or run and hide. How can you recognize an anxious pet? Pets with anxiety or a phobia may show some or all of the following signs: • Shakes, trembles, pants • Urinates on him/herself • Hides • Growls or barks with ears, tail and head lowered • Salivates What should I do if my dog has anxiety? If treatment is delayed, stress and anxiety can lead to aggression. The risk of illness, such as skin and digestive problems or heart disease, is also greater. It’s best to consult a veterinarian, who can assess the situation and determine the most appropriate treatment. In some cases, behavior training to properly calm a pet may be enough. However, more severe cases may require additional therapy. Questions lead to better answers. For more information on how to help pets with anxiety, ask your veterinarian for advice.

LJCPA
CONTINUED FROM Page 7 take a formal position on code violations affecting community or neighborhood character. • The mayor’s office has decided to include the community planning groups as the nexus to get public input on capital improvement projects. More information about how to get involved is forthcoming. NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT • The SPOT Kids sign, located at 7632 Herschel Ave. was approved, as it was found to substantially conform to the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (PDO). • Findings for an extension of time were made for the Mazon residence at 7921 El Paseo Grande and the Lai residence at 2037 Torrey Pines Road. • Trustees voted to deny the city’s request to increase the speed limit on Nautilus Street from 25 mph to 35 mph. “By raising it to 35, all that means is
that [police] can use radar on that street,” said trustee Orrin Gabsch, opposing the idea. “I don’t think raising the speed limit in this particular area makes sense. It’s past the middle school, and I don’t think you’re going to get much more enforcement via radar to make it worthwhile.” At the current 25 mph speed limit, an officer can still ticket a driver for speed violations if the officer follows a speeding driver in his or her own patrol car. “I think the last time anybody was tracked by a moving squad car and got a ticket for speeding was back when they were filming the Keystone Cops. They use radar, or they don’t do anything to enforce,” said trustee Dan Allen, who supported the city’s request. “If you don’t raise the speed limit to an enforceable level, there won’t be any enforcement.” • The LJCPA voted that the findings could be made for a coastal development permit (CDP) and neighborhood development permit (NDP) for the proposed Bird Rock Station project, a mixed-use
commercial space on a vacant 0.37acre site, located at 5702 La Jolla Blvd. The project — which will include 10 residential units and 7,726 square feet of commercial space — has undergone many revisions before ultimately gaining the approval of the community planning groups and neighbors. “I’d really like to thank Michael Krambs, the owner, and [owner’s representative Claude Anthony Marengo] for moving forward with a purely two-story project. This is a situation that had a lot of angst in the community for a long time and I applaud them,” said neighbor Darcy Ashley. “There has been some really wonderful back-and-forth with making adaptations for the neighbors … I’m 95 percent on board with this project if not all the way there.” Ultimately, trustees agreed that the project was in conformance to the planning codes and voted to support the findings for a CDP and NDP. • The LJCPA approved a variance for over-height walls within setbacks, elimination of on-site parking and walls above three feet within the required vis-
ibility areas at a 2,000-square-foot lot at 875 Gravilla St. The variances were requested to rectify a code violation for the existing retaining wall separating the driveway from the street-side curb cut. “You have a situation where the existing house is very small, the lot is very small, the driveway was only eight feet wide — where 12 feet is required by the code — the gradient was 22 percent up the driveway versus the minimum requirement,” said the applicants’ representative Matt Peterson. “The problem that [the owners] had is that current cars can’t make it up into the garage. It is not a long enough driveway. The angle of the driveway up into the garage and such a short driveway makes it so the cars get beached.” Merten, who pulled the consent item from the LJCPA’s July agenda for a full discussion, took exception to the elimination of the only on-site parking space due to the conversion. “Rather than address the parking situation and changing the design of the driveway by lowering the garage floor
down to create a contemporary parking space, instead the money was spent building a lot of retaining wall in the front yard,” said Merten. “Rather than solve the problem, it just ignored it and went about it and did something else in the process of eliminating the parking space.” Peterson countered that the only alternative that would make the garage compliant with the current code would be to build a tunnel, which would cost a fortune and eat up a big chunk of the 600-square-foot cottage. “I understand that there’s a reluctance to take away the only parking spot, but there’s not one there now,” he said. “Why force someone to have a garage and a curb cut if it doesn’t serve any purpose?” In the end, trustees determined that the findings could be made for the requested variances, but that a deed restriction must be added, stating that if the owner chooses to increase the square footage of the existing home in the future, the on-site parking spot must be restored.

If steak isn’t in the plan, pork and veal chops and succulent seafood will satisfy the most discriminating of palates.
