The new Marine Coastal Management Plan for La Jolla calls for the City to implement ‘an aggressive educational program to develop public awareness regarding the biology and behavior of seals and sea lions’ to keep human/marine mammal interactions safe.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The long-awaited Marine Coastal Management Plan, intended to “provide guidance for the City to manage seals and sea lions and also various sea birds roosting and nesting in the La Jolla area,” has been completed and submitted to the City of San Diego’s Park & Recreation Department with measures that can be implemented. Hanan & Associates authored the 91-page report, the same firm that produced the City-contracted “Hanan Report” of 2015-2016. It’s being referred to as a “living document” that can be revised as conditions change and it covers Scripps Pier to WindanSea Beach. Among its findings, the report lists “Action Items” that could be taken to address the problems caused by the burgeoning pinniped SEE SEA LIONS, A18

Neighbors launch platform to fight UCSD expansion BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A 15-foot wall separates Ann Ruethling and Michael Madden’s backyard from North Torrey Pines Road. Years ago, they say, a water feature could have defeated the adjacent road’s traffic noise, but now all bets are off. Across the street from them, UC San Diego plans to build the North Torrey Pines Living & Learning Neighborhood (LLN), which the pair fear will bring increased traffic and other nuisances to their daily lives. “We’re not yelling at kids to get off our lawn,” Madden said, “but if there’s going to be 20,000 kids on our lawn, it seems necessary to do something.” The LLN plans include six buildings, five of which appear in renderings to be more than 10

stories high, open space areas and an underground parking structure. The 11-acre site just north of Muir Lane will provide 2,000 beds for single undergraduate students, new instruction and research space for departments and programs within the divisions of social sciences and arts and humanities, general assignment classrooms and community spaces such as a dining hall and retail. One of the architects, Richardo Rabines of Safdie Rabines Architects, said the project is a challenge. “The idea is live and learn at the same time, which is something that hasn’t been done before; it’s always been dormitories and academics separate, and now we’re trying to pair them together,” he explained.

Japanese Beetle traps placed at La Jolla Recreation Center

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Insect traps have been placed at the Rec Center and other La Jolla locations to determine if Japanese Beetles, considered “ravenous eaters” and a threat to local agriculture, are present in the 92037 ZIP code. Stasi Redding, coordinator of the San Diego County Pest Detection Program, said the traps will remain up until the fall. The beetles pose no known threat to humans. “Every County within the State of California gets checked for exotic fruit flies and along with that, there is a season when we look for the Japanese Beetle, specifically,” she said. “They are considered an exotic pest. They have them a lot on the East Coast, but we don’t have many in San Diego County and we don’t want them. They are destructive to all kinds of agricultural commodities and San Diego has a high agricultural community.” Redding added that the beetle can be found in park areas and spots where there are roses and fruit trees. “They are ravenous eaters and while they target fruit trees and eat the fruit to the point that you can’t harvest it, they can also ruin turf, landscaping and ornamental plants. So we place out traps in areas where that is found.” The County checks the traps every two weeks throughout the summer and starts taking them down in September. The checks happen on a fairly regular basis, as the beetles can make their way to the West Coast any time. “They are hitchhikers,” Redding explained. “They have little barbs on their feet and can cling to luggage, and so when people come here for the summer, and fruit trees are in season, we want to check for those hitchhikers.”

Chris McCann offers reasons for the increase in aircraft noise at the La Jolla Town Council meeting, May 11 at the Rec Center.

Residents Matthew Price and Chris McCann are leading the fight to curb airplane noise in La Jolla.

Town Council forms aircraft noise sub-committee Call goes out for new board trustees

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Following a presentation on the increase in airplane noise in La Jolla, the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) at its May 11 meeting, created a sub-committee to address the issue and represent the Town Council at applicable meetings. La Jolla resident and San Diego Airport

Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) subcommittee representative Chris McCann and La Jolla resident Matthew Price spoke about how the noise problem has increased since this time last year, and the combination of factors that lead to the current state. “We have a confluence of factors, including changes the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is implementing, the amount of air traffic going in and out of San Diego Airport, and the equipment the airplanes are operating — all creating a problem that

literally wasn’t there a year ago,” said McCann. Price reported in August 2016, when ANAC reviewed complaint data, La Jolla was not on the map nor list of areas from which complaints were registered. But by December 2016, though La Jolla was still not on the map, the number of complaints registered were listed. Come February, when data from the preceding two months was discussed, there were 1,566 complaints from Bird Rock; 193 from La Jolla; 85 from La Jolla Mesa; and

72 from La Jolla Shores. The trend continued, with ANAC reporting number of households that filed a complaint rather than individual complaints at its April meeting. “And that represents a small portion of those who are bothered by it but don’t lodge a complaint,” Price said. Among the changes implemented that lead to the noise increase, McCann said there are new flight plans designed to improve efficiency. “One of the driving factors in this is

something called NextGen, which is part of a national FAA plan to make air space more efficient, get more traffic in the air space so you can have more options for flights, have planes fly more efficiently and use less fuel. Those are all great things, but there has to be a balance with the quality-of-life issues for those who live here. We’re not getting that balance right now,” he explained. “With NextGen, planes fly using GPS navigation systems and satellite-based navigation that is accurate within centimeters rather than miles (as was the case) with the old system. So now the air traffic that was once spread out is on a laser line. So the concentration of traffic is one problem.” Further, the new paths associated with NextGen allow for flights to be closer to the coast and at a lower altitude. Another problem, he noted, is that planes are bigger and flights are fuller. “The fuller the airplane, the heavier it is. The heavier it is, the longer it takes to climb higher, so that is another problem.” As a solution, Price pleaded with LJTC for something official to show the severity of the impact on residents. “We need a formal voice from the community. Citizens need to continue to complain, but the ANAC does not recognize that there’s a problem in La Jolla. We ask that this board write a letter to ANAC, the FAA, and the City Council to say there is a problem that needs to be addressed,” Price said. LJTC president Ann Kerr-Bache offered to form a sub-committee authorized to write the letter on behalf of LJTC and have her sign it, as LJTC president. “We can charter you as a sub-committee of the Town Council … representing the Town Council to ANAC

Ann Kerr-Bache, president of the La Jolla Town Council and we can task you with writing what needs to be said and we will support it.” A motion to create the sub-committee passed unanimously. To contact McCann regarding noise problems, e-mail info@airnoise.io

Neighbors hope to shut coastal accessway at Moss Lane Permitters hear project to vacate grassy path

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Amid the steep hills of coastal Bird Rock sits Moss Lane, a 20-foot-wide, 200-foot-long alley that runs from Abalone Place through Dolphin Place to a public ocean lookout. Recently, the City posted two Notices of Application at the entrances to the lane’s east end to herald a proposal to vacate the street between 5725 and 5735 Dolphin Place, made by the applicants’ lawyer Jorge Palacios at the Development Permit Review (DPR) committee meeting, May 9. The proposal was met with protest, chiefly from beach-access advocate Melinda Merryweather, who stated, “We have so few places left in La Jolla to walk through and see through that every inch should be preserved.” Palacios explained that the street has been maintained by the adjacent homeowners “for a number of years, and nobody uses it except for vandalism or something like that.” The grass-covered 100-foot section of the alley between Abalone Place and Dolphin Place features a variety of landscaping, including white roses and an assortment of wild flowers (in bloom at this time of year), birdfeeders and a gate on the north side (5735 Dolphin Place), and on the south side (5725 Dolphin Place) is a five-foot hedge that turns into a 10-foot bamboo buffer. If the application to vacate the lane is approved, the 0.044-acre section will be divided in two and attached to the adjacent properties. “We’re not asking for any development on the vacation, just vacating it (from City ownership) so we can put a fence in the middle and secure the side yards so people don’t pass through SEE MOSS LANE, A25

NEW BUSINESS ROUND-UP

Village welcomes Waters Fine Foods, Alex’s Salon BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Here is a rundown on the assortment of six businesses that have recently opened in The Village (and some others to come):

Waters Fine Foods and Catering

Waters Fine Foods and Catering quietly opened its La Jolla location on May 4 at 7441 Girard Ave., to serve fresh and seasonal sandwiches, salads, entrees, take home meals and desserts. With nearly 30 years in the business, the main catering kitchen is on Morena Boulevard, but has expanded to other locales. While there are tables at the Upper Girard restaurant for in-house dining, many patrons pick up meals to take home. “Our customers were asking us to come to La Jolla for quite some time and when the opportunity presented itself, we decided to move,” said owner Mary Kay Waters. “We have a talented group of chefs who design and prepare delicious food, using the highest quality ingredients. We strive for extreme freshness … and we use primarily organic vegetables, fruits and herbs, as well as milk, grains, legumes, and nut butters. Our menu changes daily, with weekly seasonal specials. We offer many gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, as well as a variety of meats, chicken and fish.” Of the must-try items, Waters said this season there is: tarragon artichoke chicken salad; turkey, pine nut, basil meatloaf; the “best” enchiladas; roasted organic root vegetables; and assorted quiche with the “flakiest” crust. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. (858) 509-9400. waterscatering.com

Muir Energy

A local hiker’s hobby has become an unexpected career with the launch of Muir Energy food packages for endurance athletes. Run by brother-and-sister La Jolla natives Ian and Francesca McNally, the company launched in commercial kitchens throughout La Jolla and was sold at the La Jolla Open Aire Farmers Market. But at the start of 2017, the business “gained some traction,” said Ian. “My parents are big fans of John Muir, so I grew up hiking and now I’m a long-distance hiker and that’s where I got the idea for a real-food product I could take with me that would provide energy with clean, simple, high quality ingredients. I wanted to recognize all the ingredients on the label,” said Ian. The most commonly used ingredients are nut butters and dehydrated fruit. Typically around five ingredients or less, the gel and spreads come in pouches and jars. “You could eat it by the mouthful or spread it on toast,” he said. “I made it for myself, but my friends would try it and loved it. They took it on a run, surfing, hiking and so on. It surprised me that people were interested, and it went from there.” After dedicating the time to get FDA permits, he now sells at farmers markets, select athletics retailers and online at muirenergy.com

J.McLaughlin Clothing

In April, J.McLaughlin opened at 7880

The interior of Drybar blowout salon, set to open June 7 Girard Ave. to offer women and men’s clothing. “We are excited to add this destination to our roster. La Jolla was chosen as the first San Diego location to take advantage of the strong resident base in this seaside community. We look forward to bringing the community an inviting shopping experience and fostering deep relationships with those who may have

just discovered the brand,” said J.McLaughlin CEO Mary Ellen Coyne. According to press material, the store features a curated selection of the brand’s current collections, including innovative nostalgic styles, world-class silks, sporty cottons and cashmeres, and tongue-in-cheek designs. The location will also be the first to offer The Acadia Collection, a new line of golf and

tennis-appropriate attire that embodies the active and stylish spirit of the J.McLaughlin clientele and the La Jolla resident. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The store plans to host community-based, in-store charity events on an ongoing basis. (858) 731-9338. jmclaughlin.com

Hairdresser Alex Ashirov said he’s always had a dream of owning a small salon in La Jolla — and was willing to wait for it. He recently took over the Village Barber Shop at 7517 Fay Ave. owned by Dean Blundell, who cut hair there for 50 years before he retired in March. It is now called Alex’s Salon. “I moved to San Diego from Wisconsin 15 years ago and at that time, I saw this place and asked if (Blundell) would consider selling the business to me and he said ‘no.’ I tried a couple more times and he kept saying ‘no,’ so I opened a salon in UTC. I worked there that whole time, but when Dean announced he was retiring, I tried again to take over this location and finally he said ‘yes,’ ” Ashirov explained. The UTC resident said he appreciates The Village atmosphere and hopes to contribute with the salon’s welcoming environment. “My priority is for this to be a friendly place, where any person who walks in is welcomed. We try to take the time, pay attention to our clients and get to know them and what they want, and we try to keep our prices reasonable,” he said. The salon offers haircuts for men, women and children, as well as coloring and styling services. But Ashirov said he specializes in Brazilian blowouts (hair smoothing treatments). “I did two today and I have people come in for them all the time ... a lot of clients follow me for my blowouts,” he boasted. The salon is open for walk-ins 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and Monday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, but Ashirov said he tries to accommodate before- and after-hours appointments.

The 1,600-square-foot salon will consist of 10 styling chairs and the signature elements that define the “Drybar experience.” “We are so excited to be opening in La Jolla,” said Drybar Founder Alli Webb, in press material. “Having started Drybar in Brentwood and being a Cali girl myself, opening California shops has a special place in my heart!” Tired of overpaying for professional blowouts, curly-haired Webb opened Drybar to provide the hair style at a flat price, regardless of hair length or type. The price for a blowout is $45 with additional services available. The list of signature styles reads

According to its website, Kodiak Capital Group was founded in 2009, and is an operationally driven private equity firm that partners with management to make non-control equity investments in lower middle market businesses. Managing member Ryan Hodson said, “La Jolla is obviously a special place, and joining the community here is not only a real pleasure, but it will also allow Kodiak to better serve the abundant San Diego market. … Kodiak also looks forward to becoming an active and positive part of the business community in La Jolla.” kodiak-capital.us

Chef seeking space

Chef Giuseppe Ciuffa, the chef behind the Museum Café attached to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, announced he’s in search of a new restaurant location in La Jolla. The Cafe will close Sept. 1 to accommodate the Museum’s expansion, which is expected to take several years to complete. “We’ve called the La Jolla location of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego home for 17 years,” said Ciuffa, who also owns Bottega Americano, Caroline’s Seaside Cafe and Giuseppe Fine Catering. “As we make plans to close for the major museum renovations, we are taking it as not just impetus to relocate but to unveil an entirely new culinary concept.

The North Torrey Pines Living & Learning Neighborhood expansion is planned for the west side of UC San Diego campus, with construction spanning June 2018 to fall 2020. FROM UCSD EXPANSION, A1 The space will also be the home of the university’s Sixth College, a new undergraduate program built around Culture, Art and Technology that “seeks to create student scholars that are dynamic, cutting edge, and well-versed in modern technology,” according to its website. Currently a 970-vehicle parking lot, the project to make the western side of UCSD campus one of the centers of student life was presented May 8 at the Faculty Club, during a “scoping” meeting for the proposed LLN Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The 30-day scoping period — when the university receives public comments to determine what issues the EIR will look into — runs through May 22. Meeting attendees showed their distress over the timing of the meeting, halfway through the scoping period. “This was been in the works for some time,” La Jolla resident Dan Mitrovich told the La Jolla Light, “We have a short window (to submit our comments) and I haven’t had time to read much, and this meeting hasn’t presented much information.”

Traffic Jams

William Jenkins, vice-president of the Blackhorse Home Owners Association (HOA), which sits across the street from the proposed site, highlighted in his scoping comments for the EIR, the effects the project will have on Torrey Pines Road traffic. “Currently North Torrey Pines Road is jammed with traffic during rush hour, particularly in the afternoon when the traffic backs up almost along the entire road adjacent to UC San Diego,” he wrote in an e-mail, on which the Light was copied. Madden, who also lives in the 121-condominium Blackhorse community, agreed that traffic was going to be a problem. “We were told this was going to be the main entrance to a university with 40,000 students!” he said. UCSD communications and planning assistant director Anu Delouri confirmed that the North Torrey Pines site will be an entrance to the university, but only “one of them.” Growth plans call for the enrollment of 6,000 more students in the next four years, reaching the 40,000 by 2020. Rabines said those who are worried about traffic, shouldn’t be. “This project will bring more people, but it’s pedestrian people, because you can take the trolley,” he

How to Submit Project Comments to UCSD ■ UC San Diego is receiving scoping comments for its North Torrey Pines Living & Learning Neighborhood. Potential environmental considerations expected to be addressed are aesthetics, air quality, greenhouse emissions, water quality, noise, public services, traffic and transportation. Submit your comments no later than 5 p.m. Monday, May 22 by e-mailing env-review@ucsd.edu or by mail at Physical and Community Planning; Attn: Catherine Presmyk; University of California, San Diego; 9500 Gilman Drive, MC 0074; La Jolla, CA 92093-0074. explained. The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit project (aka the Trolley Blue Line) west campus stop on Pepper Canyon is a mile away from the LLN projected site, but a redesigning of the campus shuttle route is included in the plans.

Design Features

On the architecture, Rabines said designers are trying to make it “blend into San Diego, not copy San Francisco, Stanford or other places. We are almost trying to make a project that is smiling and friendly, even though it’s big, in a way, because we have to deal with that.” To achieve that, the architecture features indoor-outdoor spaces, rooftops, decks, terraces and “a lot of dealing with the landscape, terraces, creating a lot of places for gathering, informal places for spontaneous meeting,” Rabines added. Also, the project aims to model environmental responsibility with photovoltaic energy creation, natural ventilation, high-efficiency fixtures, drought-resistant landscape, low power density lighting and a first for UC campus and surroundings: the anaerobic digester system at the dining hall. Sustainability engineer Tommy Zawrewski explained that the anaerobic digester “converts organic matter from the dining hall into fertilizer to be used in community gardens and other areas, and it also creates bio gas, which is then pushed into an electric generator that is going to continuously provide renewable green energy to campus.”

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Safdie Rabines architect Ricardo Rabines points out some of the indoor-outdoor design features of the North Torrey Pines Living & Learning Neighborhood, during a scoping meeting May 8.

Quality of Life

The timeline for the LLN project has construction starting in June 2018 and ending by fall 2020. (Note: The Trolley Blue Line’s estimated completion time is 2021). Madden pointed out the bleak state of North Torrey Pines Road pavement, noting “I can’t imagine two or three years of trucks going through. “We really like it here, we’ve been hanging on through all the traffic problems, but now there’s going to be an asthmatic assault for two or three years,” he added, referring to the air pollution construction will likely bring to area neighborhoods. Another Blackhorse resident, Sam Greenblatt, who is spearheading the effort to fight the university’s plan, highlighted the nuisances that may come from digging a 1,200-space underground parking. “The disruption on Torrey Pines Road is going to be nuts!” he exclaimed. Area homeowners worry their property values will go down once they start disclosing UC San Diego’s plans across the street. Asked about the neighbors’ concerns, Delouri told the Light, “This is why we are having this meeting. All those impacts are going to be evaluated. We will look at them closely.”

Fighting Back

Greenblatt said he’s not going to sit tight while this happens. In his plans, commissioning an independent environmental report to counteract the university’s own, bearing in mind this may end up in court. “I’m almost 100 percent positive that we’re going to have to litigate this,” he told the Light. Also, he plans to start a proposition for the California ballot ensuring that UC Regents

“are to be elected and accountable to people. … I’m doing a lot of things. I need a coalition of people who are going to fight the university, in Sacramento, and here.” Greenblatt said he has garnered support from neighbors of the adjacent La Jolla Farms neighborhood, including a possible financial contribution to the efforts, and a gofundme.com page is going up within a week. Greenblatt criticized the university’s explosive growth, suggesting self-serving decisions forced the UCSD expansion. “When the 2014 long-range plan was approved, we were looking at 22,000 students on campus. Now, there will be 45,000 by 2020,” he said, adding that he calculated this number by factoring in a 6-percent yearly growth rate. The 2015 California State Auditor report on the University of California found that decisions made by its Regents had disadvantaged in-state students “in exchange for revenue generated by non-residents,” the study reads. In Greenblatt’s opinion, “They got caught, and they thought they had to compensate by increasing campus size, bringing in more in-state students and keeping a balance with out-of-state ones.” The UC Regents voted for 20 percent system-wide non-resident undergraduate enrollment to protect California students, but UC San Diego (alongside two other schools), will get to keep their current 22.9 percent of out-of-state undergraduate enrollment. Also, UC Regents approved a 2.5 percent tuition increase in January, the first one in six years. ■ UCSD Expansion Plans: livinglearning.ucsd.edu ■ Connect with Neighbors: saveourjewel.blog

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Man attacked with machete on Torrey Pines Road A suspect has been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after swinging a machete at a victim around 9 p.m. April 28 on the 2500 block of Torrey Pines Road. The suspect thought the unidentified victim was trying to steal something from his car, and confronted the victim with a machete, swinging it, but never hitting the victim. It was later determined the victim was collecting traffic tubes and noticed one was under Straub’s car and was reaching under the vehicle to retrieve it.

La Jolla CitiBank robbed The CitiBank branch at 7900 Herschel Ave. was robbed around 3 p.m. May 2, when an unknown male entered the bank and presented a demand note to the teller. According to police, the teller complied and the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. He is described as a white male in his 50s or 60s, clean shaven, with yellow teeth, wearing a white baseball hat, extremely dark sunglasses, heavy or bulky brown blazer, dark red shirt underneath and black gloves.

Domestic dispute leads to battery A La Jolla Hermosa resident is accused of

battery following a domestic dispute. San Diego Police report that May 7, the victim went to the suspect’s house on the 6400 block of La Jolla Boulevard for drinks. Before or around 1:30 a.m., an argument ensued. During the argument, the suspect threw the victim’s purse at the her, hitting her in the face. The victim did not sustain any significant injuries.

Fire briefly closes La Jolla Vons May 12 An oven fire briefly shut down the Vons grocery store at 7544 Girard Ave. the morning of May 12. Witnesses report the store had to be evacuated, but the fire officials were able to put out the fire and clear out the smoke so shoppers could return to the store early afternoon. No injuries were reported.

University City man arrested in gun, drug sting A 39-year-old convicted felon was arrested May 10 on suspicion of dealing guns and drugs from his University City home. Paul Joseph Holdy’s arrest came nearly a year after the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives launched an investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. During the probe, undercover agents purchased an undisclosed amount of drugs

and 19 guns, including short-barrel machine guns, assault rifles and handguns, according to court documents. Agents also bought gun silencers from Holdy. Authorities allege the University City resident manufactured some of the guns he sold. Authorities also seized 100 grams of meth and two gallons of a substance that authorities believe is a date-rape drug. Holdy is also charged with selling an ounce of black tar heroin to an undercover agent. Holdy pleaded not guilty and is expected to be held without bond until his detention can be further argued next week.

One of the Marine Coastal Management Plan goals is educate the public on living with and enjoying our wild resources using a docent program, university resources and signage. FROM SEA LIONS, A1 populations along La Jolla’s coastline, which have included dangerous human-pinniped encounters, interference with lifeguard rescues, and an intolerable stench permeating the Village with onshore winds. The stench has so impacted commerce that a group of businessmen filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against the City in December 2013 to force City Hall to deal with the issue. In addition, La Jolla’s many community advisory boards have held meetings, formed a task force and proposed various sea lion deterrence solutions (such as power-washing the bluffs to remove animal excrement and rotating cylinders to keep the sea lions off the bluffs) but all were put on hold pending results of the Marine Coastal Management Plan. The Plan states: “The City will continue to implement an aggressive educational safety program to develop public awareness regarding the biology and behavior of seals and sea lions and expected public behavior with seals and sea lions occurring in the La Jolla area. This program will include: increased and informative signage, brochures, education, interpretive centers and a trained docent program.” Further, the report lists four items the City will do and a fifth the City can decide to do. It reads: “1) The City has decided to move forward to protect pinnipeds and the public by placing gates on the base of beach access stairs to prevent sea lions from coming up beyond the beaches and thus prevent problems associated with pinnipeds in urban areas; 2) The City will continue the enzyme spraying program to reduce waste build up and offensive odors; 3) The City will periodically review this plan and amend as necessary; 4) The City will continue to monitor pinniped presence and behavior at all sites within the plan area.” The optional action is to “hire and equip additional rangers to increase City presence and education within the plan area.”

Local reactions

■ At the La Jolla Town Council meeting, May 11, District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry issued a statement that was read by her representative Mauricio Medina: “This report provides some initial steps to addressing a complicated situation that has impacted the community for years. I will be tracking the City’s implementation of (the Plan’s) action items. I remain committed to protecting coastal access for swimmers and beach-goers and enforcing the rules that prohibit human/sea lion interaction and advocating for

Force. Ahead of the May 11 Town Council meeting, president Ann Kerr Bache said in a statement to the press: “The City has so far chosen not to acknowledge the La Jolla Community input nor include representatives of the La Jolla Town Council Task Force in its discussion of how to proceed ... The next step is to move from study and discussion to action. The La Jolla community has offered to help. That offer remains valid should the City choose to accept it.”

‘Considering that California sea lions are not likely to leave the La Jolla area, the City is in the position to develop strategies of how to best live with them and hopefully take advantage of their presence.’ — Hanan Report issued 2016. effective management of the stench at the Cove ... The docent program is something (my office is) particularly excited about because we could provide an opportunity for youth education and volunteerism.” ■ Dan Allen, former chair of La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group, said he read the report and saw it as a good-news/bad-news situation. “The good news is that it looks to me like the report supports what La Jolla Parks & Beaches has been asking the City to do for the last two years,” he said. “Their expert consultant goes over potential actions and concludes with a two-part preferred alternative.” Conversely, he said, “The final section of the Plan is the big disappointment. It appears to be the Mayor’s official response, specifically saying, ‘The City may consider at a later date procedures to move sea lions from certain beaches.’ In other words, expect them to continue to do nothing — not even the consultant’s recommended trial effort.” ■ Current La Jolla Parks & Beaches chair Ann Dynes said the report would be discussed at the next meeting, 4 p.m. Monday, May 22 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org ■ La Jolla Town Council has been working to find a solution to the pinniped problem through its Sea Lion Task

The 91-page Plan includes a description of each of the beach areas studied, a history of pinniped presence in La Jolla, pinniped and sea bird use by area, a species list for the entire area, a history of coastal protection measures, goals of the Management Plan (which emphasize “educating the public on living with and enjoying our wild resources”), examples of sea lion/seal interactions and subsequent municipality actions in other areas of California, management options, and citations. The Plan also outlines alternatives the City may consider, which include doing nothing with the caveat that “this method would likely lead to loss of public beach areas as pinniped populations increase,” all the way to “low-voltage livestock fencing.” However the preferred alternative would be a combination, chiefly: “Implement expanded signage and docents to educate the public regarding pinnipeds and pinniped behavior (and) use the National Marine Fisheries Service approved harassment techniques to try and keep sea lions off La Jolla Cove Beach and any other selected haul-out areas. First test and then if this appears to work, use the technique at other sites chosen for public use.” While the previous Hanan & Associates study was to “identify potential opportunities for changing the behavior or haul-out conditions of the sea lion colony now expanding along the La Jolla coastline” it ultimately found “Continual harassment of California sea lions off haul-out areas may temporarily reduce California sea lion presence and may temporarily reduce their interactions in the La Jolla Cove area, but they are not likely to abandon the area. Considering that California sea lions are not likely to leave the La Jolla area, the City is in the position to develop strategies of how to best live with them and hopefully take advantage of their presence.” La Jolla Light will continue to update this unfolding news story of great import ance to the businesses and residents of The Village.

Charles Schwab: Demystify the investment process BY DAVID L. CODDON The Charles Schwab name, with more than 40 years of assisting investors behind it, is a solid one. “The fact that Schwab is well known and is as financially stable as we are, brings a lot of comfort to our clients,” said Randy Schechter, vice-president and manager of Schwab’s La Jolla branch, one of its first in the San Diego community. But Schwab does not rest on reputation. “We’ve always been a challenger as a company,” Schechter said, “challenging the status quo with the goal of delivering investors a better experience.” How? “We’re always on the lookout for being innovative — with our relationship building, with our technology, with our new products and services, with our pricing. For me that’s at the heart of what Schwab is all about.” Part of being a challenger, too, is to assist clients during often confusing economic times. “We try to demystify the investment process for the average investor,” said Schechter, who has been with the company more than 20 years and who in addition to the La Jolla branch manages the Schwab branch in Rancho Bernardo. The La Jolla branch is composed of five financial consultants, two operations specialists and Schechter himself. “The staffing is not what you might think a typical financial services branch would look like,” Schechter said, explaining that outside the branch, clients have access to Schwab operational call centers 24/7. When potential new clients come into the branch, Schechter said, “The first thing we try to address is to make sure they have a plan that takes into account their individual situation, their individual goals, and we address what their

tunein tunein

The staff of the Charles Schwab La Jolla branch (from left) Lesandro Mena, Christopher Chandler, Rashida Randle, Tanya Martinez, Derek Anthony, Mark Huhn, Randy Schechter, Ryan Henry tolerance for risk is. “A lot of folks who are either near retirement or at retirement still see the value of having a portion of their portfolio invested in the stock market,” said Schechter. “But they’re probably more likely to have a balance where they’ve got some invested in the stock market and some in bonds. Somebody who’s younger can withstand some of the ups and downs that take place in the market. We try to look at what stage of your investment life you are in. “It’s important to have a plan, a road map of where you are and where you need to get to. That’s what we do here (for clients). People who have a plan and stick to it have a better outcome. They’re more successful long term.”

COURTESY

Being in La Jolla as long as it has — more than 25 years — Schwab is rightfully proud of its ongoing involvement in the community. “We have a strong relationship,” said Schechter. “We do a lot of events. For example, this year we’re planning to do some work with The Salk Institute. We also do a lot of workshops and educational seminars. We look for opportunities to support the community and work with it.” Charles Schwab, 7777 Fay Ave., Suite 105, La Jolla. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday.

Ask The Psychiatrist:

How To Find The Right Mental Health Care With the abundance of treatment options and mental health professionals, each promising different approaches and better results, finding the right care for you or a loved one can be an added stressor in an already challenging situation. Below, True Life Center’s Executive Medical Director, Dr. Krista Roybal, shares some advice to help individuals feel more empowered and less overwhelmed when taking the first step toward recovery. Q.) I’m finally ready to get help for my depression, but I’m confused as to whether I need a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or counselor. Don’t they all do the same thing? A.) First of all, I want to commend you for having the courage and awareness to seek help. Reaching out to any of the professionals you listed would be a good place to start. All have the training and insight to refer you elsewhere if need be, depending on the severity of your depression and the kind of support you are looking for. Generally speaking, you will need to see a psychiatrist (all of whom hold M.D.’s) if you are interested in exploring medication as part of your treatment. Psychologists, therapists, and counselors are differentiated mainly by their education, training, and licensure. As you begin making phone calls, inquire about the credentials, specializations, and treatment approach of each. It’s most important that you find someone you trust and feel comfortable with. If, after a conversation or initial session you find yourself thinking, “this person gets me,” that’s usually an indication of a good fit. If you’re still unsure, I recommend contacting a comprehensive treatment center like True Life, where all of the professionals you mentioned are under the same roof, and a team member can listen to your unique story before providing recommendations. Q.) A friend suggested I attend rehab for my bipolar disorder. Isn’t rehab just for addiction? A.) I’m guessing your friend is using the term “rehab” to refer to inpatient treatment

programs (also known as residential treatment), which require that patients livein the facility for the duration of treatment. Though a majority of inpatient facilities deal primarily in addiction, residential mental health treatment programs do exist. Whether or not inpatient is the right solution for you depends on a number of things including the severity of your illness, the stressors in your environment, your financial situation, and your treatment goals. If you’re looking to focus solely on recovery, without worrying about the distractions of daily life, inpatient programs offer a controlled environment, close supervision and highly scheduled days. Alternatively, outpatient mental health treatment centers like True Life typically offer programming that allows patients to spend several hours a day, several days a week at the facility. These type of programs, commonly called Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are often more affordable than their residential counterparts, provide increased schedule flexibility, allow patients to maintain work and family commitments while receiving treatment, and give patients the opportunity to immediately incorporate what they learn at treatment into their real lives. Q.) Therapy is expensive! Can’t I just talk to a friend about my problems for free? A.) You’re right - good mental health care is not cheap, nor should it be. You are paying for the time and expertise of a professional who will remain objective and confidential while listening for understanding, encouraging independent thinking and selfreflection, and delivering feedback designed to promote long-term, sustainable growth. Your friends, wonderful as they may be, are simply unable to provide the same type of guidance. I encourage you to consider the cost of not seeking professional help. Ignoring or delaying treatment often comes at great personal cost in terms of job performance, broken relationships, physical health and more. Your life and wellbeing are worth investing in! If you have any questions about mental health treatment, please give us a call at 858-384-4535 or visit truelifewellbeing.com. We are happy to assist you in finding the care you need, even if True Life isn’t the right fit.

Got $12,500 to sponsor eight summer Cove concerts this year? If so, please e-mail Ron Jones at allegrojones@sbcglobal.net ... it will be a sad good-bye to them after 34 years.

Due to a lack of funding, no Concerts by the Sea this year With no cash for a 34th year of summer concerts at Scripps Park at La Jolla Cove, organizers have sadly stashed and stored the stage and canopies with the hope that a sponsor will come forward in the next week or two. “In the event that someone shows up with funding, we’ve got eight summer Sundays booked with the City, but we haven’t booked any concerts,” emcee Ron Jones told La Jolla Light. “We need $12,500 for the season, and we’re looking for funds for five seasons. No one has come forward.” Past summers have showcased performers such as Sue Palmer & Her Motel Swing Orchestra, Theo and The Zydeco Patrol, The Heroes, and the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash. The concerts started after the Fourth of July and ended Labor Day weekend. Jones said sponsors were to have had their names added to the concert banner, below the heading “Concerts By The Sea” sponsored by ... He welcomes inquiries at allegrojones@sbcglobal.net or (858) 456-0907.

We continue to be committed to processing and digitizing our collections so more is available in our Research Archives and online.” The San Diego History Center is at the Casa de Balboa in Balboa Park.

Renovation calls for moving Museum tree As part of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) renovation at 700 Prospect St., the mature Stone Pine Tree located on the southwest side of the site will be relocated. Not taken down, relocated. Rumors have been circulating around town that the tree would be cut down and a notice to that effect was posted at an unknown location (a photo was sent to La Jolla Light). However, Museum officials insist the rumor is not true. “There seems to be a community misconception, but we realize how important trees are in La Jolla so we are relocating the pine tree a few feet to the southeast. It will definitely remain,” said Leah Straub, MCASD Communications & Marketing Manager. She added that tree experts are serving as consultants on the project.

We want input so we can get going. … Down the line, there are playground designers we will work with, but first, we need to hear from you.”

La Jolla High cancels anatomy class, students file petition La Jolla High School has announced that its honors anatomy/physiology class will no longer be offered, much to the chagrin of current and former students. A petition has been circulating to save the class, and was delivered to principal Charles Podhorsky with more than 200 signatures and comments on it. Explaining why the class was canceled, Podhorsky said, “We currently offer 15 different science courses at La Jolla High, which is one of the most diverse course offerings in all of San Diego Unified School District. … We are developing partnerships with local science organizations and industry leaders to make sure our students have expertise in cutting-edge scientific techniques and access to new technologies. We have many things to consider when building a master schedule including budgetary constraints, teaching loads, student requests and district initiatives. Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to offer this one class as part of our course offerings.”

FROM MOSS LANE, A8 them,” Palacios explained. On the Dolphin Place side of the alley, a five-step brick stair adjacent a retaining wall allows pedestrians to avoid the slope. “People don’t walk that way because there’s a retaining wall,” Palacios pointed out, “so unless you’re really young, I don’t advise you walk down to the beach that way.” Two of the four steps are slightly bigger than the average (approximately 12 inches), but Merryweather alleges she walks up and down them with no problem. “I went down there, and sat for about an hour and watched six people go through. People do use it, and divers use it and go in the ocean there (from Moss Lane).” Property owner Larry Tannenbaum told Merryweather she was “mischaracterizing” the use of the lane. “It’s rarely used and if you wanted to see the ocean, there’s a City-maintained walkway on Bird Rock Avenue.” Moss Lane appears in the La Jolla Community Plan as an “improved dedicated street off Dolphin Place. Provides bluff-top viewing. Steps are located in bluff edge, but access to the beach is not recommended. Well defined bluff trail leads to rock point to the south.” However, in Appendix G Figure H, the map showing the area, only the western part of Moss Lane (Dolphin Place to the ocean) is highlighted. The California Coastal Commission’s (CCC) review of the project identifies nine issues, including the path’s identification within the La Jolla Community Plan. “Its closure would be incongruent with the plan and possibly require a (plan) amendment.

An accessway does not necessarily have to be directly on the shoreline to be of service to the public, and it is the provision of accessways inland from the coast that encourages visitors to park elsewhere, knowing there is access nearby, rather than trying to crowd along the nearest shoreline road.” CCC adds in its comments that Moss Lane provides an ocean view from Abalone Place, which would be adversely impacted in case the vacation went through. “As it currently stands, there is private landscaping blocking public views westward toward the ocean from Abalone Place that should be addressed through removal or trimming to restore public views.” The CCC also requires the applicant to submit documents proving the motive behind the vacation, chiefly “nuisance activity,” in the form of police reports or City records. DPR committee members were not ready to make a decision on the vacation at the May 9 meeting. Trustee Diane Kane requested the applicant bring forward more information about pedestrian use of the area. “People have been using (Moss Lane) for 50 years. The public has established their right to pass through that area,” she said. DPR board member Angeles Leira opined that the alley should be preserved for pedestrian access because, “These are large, long blocks and every time you have an opportunity to break through the block, especially for pedestrians, we should be able to do it. We never think of the pedestrians.” The discussion was tabled to the 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 20 DPR meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Vehicles zoom through La Jolla Parkway at all hours, except during rush hour and on weekends when there is heavy traffic.

Noise and speeding out-of-control on La Jolla Parkway For almost two decades, residents of the Hidden Valley neighborhood adjacent to La Jolla Parkway have been suffering from the increasing noise and heavy traffic along that corridor. In fact, the noise has become so unacceptably excessive that it can be considered a “safety” issue. La Jolla Parkway is one of the busiest streets in San Diego, even during off-seasons. More than 50,000 cars per day travel that Parkway climbing to speeds between 40 to 60 mph and even higher (speed limit is 45 mph). Motorcyclists and high-powered sport vehicles have enjoyed fast acceleration going eastbound uphill for the thrill of the power and it frequently occurs in groups, both day and night. Also, there appears to be little or no speed-limit enforcement on the Parkway despite several complaints filed by the residents in that regard to local police. Noise levels on the Parkway consistently exceed federal, state and local guidelines-calling for mitigation. In 2004, UC San Diego conducted a study regarding the traffic and noise levels on that corridor. In 2014, a petition was filed and submitted to the City by a large number of residents reiterating the need for a noise mitigating sound wall. In January 2015, the La Jolla Shores Association board voted to approve and add the proposed extension of the sound wall to the list of capital improvement projects for 2016. Residents are still hoping this will become a reality. More attention from police department is sorely needed to enforce speed and noise regulations on that heavily traveled corridor for the safety of the motorists, residents and the community. Rayan Hourani M.D.

Student Center does not belong in a neighborhood Our family has enjoyed residing in what was formerly called La Jolla Highlands for 49 years, and the opinions expressed in this letter are mine. Regarding the story in the May 4 issue, “Hillel project approved at San Diego Planning Commission,” please, please tell me the statements attributed to planning

commissioners Hofman and Austin are misquotes. Hofman’s statement in support of the proposed student center in a residential neighborhood, reads in part, “It’s a good transition from UC San Diego to a residential zone.” If the quote is accurate, it is the most egregious statement I have read during the years of opposition to the Student Center project. Austin adds, “It’s not in the middle of a residential neighborhood, it’s on the edge ... I believe it creates a buffer.” I ask a buffer for what? To keep UC San Diego from further “transition” (Hofman’s word) into the neighborhood? I suggest a more accurate word than “buffer” is “invitation,” and offer two examples. 1) Perhaps as far back as 10 years ago, a generous donor provided Hillel the use of a private residential home on Cliffridge Ave. It was converted to administrative and counseling offices in direct violation of use code in the neighborhood and continues to this day. 2) A few years ago, a private residence across the street from the site proposed for the Student Center and immediately adjacent to other private residences occupied by single families, was rented to members of one of UCSD’s athletic teams. Subsequently, the home was purchased by a private party for use by their children during years at UCSD. The home was renovated, including conversion of a garage into a bedroom, and rented to several UCSD students. “Invitation” not “buffer” is a much more appropriate prospect for the neighborhood if this Student Center Project is approved. A short street, La Jolla Scenic Drive North, is adjacent the proposed Student Center with single-family residences lining the street on the opposite side, some 50 or so feet away from the proposed Center’s outside wall. If members of the Planning Commission visited the street, and found a place to park and offered to speak with our neighbors there, I believe they would find residents will not be convinced that the proposed Student Center is not in their neighborhood. The fact is, the Student Center would be in a single-family residential zone. Because the Planning Commission apparently supports UCSD’s transition into a residential neighborhood, I suggest the neighborhood recognize the invitation extends presently to one street, but there is no end in sight.

A skate park will wreck the La Jolla Rec Center Bravo to Alicia Quackenbush for her response to the proposal of a skate park at our Rec Center! She addressed the noise issue (which is huge) but with all due respect, there is so much more wrong with the idea. Like it or not, skateboarders have a history of disregard for rules and regulations. Ask any commercial/residential owner if they have anything positive to say about skateboarders on-site and the consensus will be, “No!” Now, those behind a skate park might use this to justify having a “place where they can go,” but do you want teens and young adults next to infants and toddlers on a swing set? Do you really think they will adhere to any of the rules the Rec Center plans to implement? And, should we ask the staff to police them? Here again, the noise can be deafening! The Rec Center location, across from the La Jolla Presbyterian Church preschool and its history of being a safe environment for all the children in La Jolla, precludes it from being the “Dude, let’s meet up at Rec!” skateboarders’ hangout.

Off-leash dogs more hazardous to cyclists than motorists Keeping loose dogs leashed on the Fay Avenue Bike Path that follows the old electric railway right-of-would be a step in the right direction toward a safe alternative for bicyclists to riding on busy La Jolla Boulevard. I avoid the Bike Path and use La Jolla Boulevard as it is safer than mixing it up with off-leash dogs! My father and I both grew up in La Jolla. The “bridle path” was a part of my childhood and I walked it weekly from Muirlands to visit my grandparents in Bird Rock. Not once did I ever see a loose dog. In the last 10-15 years I’ve been knocked off my bike twice, bitten once, and menaced on several occasions by loose dogs on the path. I have been cursed and threatened by dog owners for riding a bicycle on the bike path that has become a de-facto off-leash dog park in violation of signage that states all dogs must be leashed. On one occasion, a loose small ankle-biter dog

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) tried to herd me by running in front of my wheel. I braked hard, but wasn’t able to miss the dog, which ran off yelping. I injured my left arm and elbow in the fall. My glasses broke and cut my forehead above my left eye. The woman who owned the dog directed a stream of expletives at me that would have made a sailor blush as blood ran into my eye and down my face. I had to loosen my front brake in order to ride home. My local bike shop tried to true my front wheel, but I ended up buying a new wheel set for $600. San Diego Police Department and the County Animal Control Department need to aggressively cite scofflaw dog owners here to make the bike path safe for bicyclists again. Ray H. Ramage

Any witnesses to girl’s bike accident? Since we know the date, time and place where the 11-year-old cyclist was hit by the hit-and-run driver (as reported on the front page last week), I wonder if the La Jolla Light (or a reader) could do some investigation about this? Are there any surveillance videos from nearby businesses that could have caught images of the car? I have been riding bikes in and around La Jolla for 15 years and have seen just about everything. But I haven’t seen someone knock a girl off of her bike and then drive away leaving her on the ground. This person needs to be caught! John Tellew

Lights, clear paths would help biking in town La Jolla’s picturesque topography provides many choices for enthusiastic cyclists. One can cruise near the beach and listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean waves, immerse oneself in the intimate greenery of Fay Avenue Bike Path or step it up the hill to get in shape and enjoy the view — sounds like Bikers Paradise! Unfortunately, I have to agree with the cyclists featured in the May 11 cover story who point out that biking through some streets of our dear Village is often far from ideal — especially during peak

traffic hours. Since moving to San Diego in 1986, my bike is my one and only transportation vehicle; rain or shine, I hop-on, hop-off every day. Though riding on the sidewalk feels safer, it presents a hazard and is unwelcomed by pedestrians. Something has to change! Adding more bright street lights could be a start. “La Jolla by Night Rides,” could add to tourism and cash to City coffers. Providing better visibility for all — bikers, runners or dog walkers — is paramount, we need to preserve energy, but not at the exchange of citizens’ safety. Apart from the cracks, potholes, mixed-use traffic lanes and blind corners (such as where Neptune Place meets Bonair Street) I’ve noticed a new danger, the patches of sand covering portions of the scenic walkway near Scripps Park gazebos. An accident could happen from bicycle wheels skidding in situations where using the brakes abruptly arises — like when a child, bird or squirrel runs across. Last, but not least, here’s a lesson I learned over the years: Trust in God, but always lock your bike! Jaruska Solyova

home we wish we could live in and had more of in our neighborhood. It is so cozy appearing from the outside and looks just like a vintage cabin. There are so many extravagant homes that are large mansions built on small lots to better illustrate the example of your article. The message is that if you live in the 92037 — even with a pleasing architectural style that is a delight to the neighborhood visually and does not in any way stand out from the beach cottage vibe of the street — you should not have a 2,000-2,750 square-foot house on your property, since every single four-bedroom home is in this square footage range. And we, for example, need a bedroom for guests/office due to homework issues and the fact that our elderly parents like to visit their grandchildren and I don’t want to have them stay in a hotel when they visit. Is the point of this article that if you live in the 92037, you should either: a) not have more than one child; b) mandate that your children share a bedroom; c) mandate that your guests/parents stay in a hotel when visiting for long periods?

‘Bigger’ homes aren’t necessarily an eyesore

Open letter to UCSD Planning Department

The article “Paradigm shift regarding new construction” in the May 4 La Jolla Light was very well written and had nice coverage of all facets of the conversation. However, we had friends over for dinner and all four of us independently (myself, wife, and the other couple) took objection to the photo on the front page that accompanied the article. This photo is of a wooden house with lush foliage (two-story home) “dwarfing” as the caption says the home next door. This photo is extremely unfortunate. We know these two homes though we don’t know either owner well. The larger house is probably around 2500-square-feet and by no means a mansion. It always has a delightful Golden Retriever out front and the owners always say hi to us when we walk by. I’ve often thought to myself (as have my dinner guests) that the home is the exact type of

I am a supporter of UC San Diego and have been for many years, however at this time, my support for this institution has significantly eroded. The information provided at the recent meeting regarding the proposed North Torrey Pines Living & Learning Neighborhood is distressing. The university’s new enrollment goal and where to house this multitude of new students is being considered with utter disregard and disrespect for the community of La Jolla, especially those most impacted in the area of Blackhorse and La Jolla Farms, and anyone who daily drives the Torrey Pines corridor. The project is objectionable in many ways. Please note: 1. As proposed, this mixed-use development has a footprint better suited for an industrial park. There are too many buildings, too tall, too dense, to hard edge in design, and too much concrete. It is too

close to the road. There is nothing collegiate about it. 2. This “new neighborhood” will significantly increase traffic in both directions of Torrey Pines Road adding to an already problematic situation. More cars, more air pollution, more noise. How does the university propose to reduce green house emission by increasing cars and traffic? 3. Regarding the underground parking structure, where will it be vented? How will this affect our air quality? Due to venting operations, will the neighboring residents be subjected to constant mechanical noise? 4. The university was disingenuous with the projected construction time line. A development of this size will NOT be completed in two years. Everyone knows this, why alter the facts? As evidenced by the presentation, the University avoided any discussion of the construction process and the effect on the community with regard to dirt, dust, noise, pollution, traffic problems that will occur. Not to mention the further erosion of Torrey Pines Road (already falling apart) as daily runs are made from the Gliderport staging area to campus. 5. Going forward, neighbors of UCSD on Torrey Pines Road will have a massive factory- looking development looming over them separated only by the road and a small strand of trees. There will be 2,000 new students, additional teaching staff, support staff, deliveries, more cars, more traffic, more noise. Shall we in La Jolla just put our quality of life on hold while the University continues never-ending expansion? Joy Urich

THIS JUST IN A 2010 San Diego City Council resolution mandates the closure of the beach every year to give space to the harbor seals, who give birth and raise their pups on the beach.

Neighbor Monica Kelly said during the rains last winter, she started noticing water spraying out from a hole in the gutter. “(The water) smelled really bad of diesel and sulfur, and it stained the concrete, so we knew it wasn’t clean water,” she said. After La Jolla Light forwarded the City of San Diego communications staff visual evidence of the pollution (see photograph), a Stormwater Code Enforcement officer visited the site and issued a Notice of Violation to the building producing the discharges — a commercial development at 6830 La Jolla Blvd. “The discharge was from a sump pump that is fed by roof drains and balcony drains (verified by a plumber hired by the management company),” City information officer Anthony Santacroce wrote in an e-mail. According to the Notice of Violation, the building managed by Harman Realty Inc., was found to be in violation of the Municipal Code for the discharges. “The case is still open and we’re working with the management company to achieve compliance,” Santacroce added. If the required actions are not taken, penalties can be up to $10,000 per day per incident. Building manager Dee Ornognez told the Light that what was staining the concrete

was “just stormwater. Whatever drains to the roof, the building has balconies on it and, usually, drainage will come out the side… but since there’s a garage, it goes to the lowest point and then it gets pumped out.” La Jollan Dana Nelson was the first to alert the Light to the discharges. In a Letter to the Editor, published April 27, he wrote: “Polluted drainage has been pumped onto the street and down to the beach intermittently. This water has the smell of diesel fuel, and has stained the street and gutter all the way down to the beach. Many years ago, that property had a gas station and dry cleaners located there.” Neighbor Kelly said City personnel had been onsite checking on the discharges before. “I called the City, and someone there said, ‘I can only come out if you call right when it’s happening.’ And it only happens for a couple minutes, so (the next time it happened) we got a sample. (Someone from the City) came, did a field test and said it was not raw sewage. I asked, ‘What is it then?’ ” On the second visit to the discharge site by City employees, “there was only street staining from the discharge and a sample could not be collected,” Santacroce indicated. However, he clarified that “whether the water is visibly contaminated or visibly clean, the violation is that it is discharging at all.” Nelson told the Light water was flowing down the gutter again Saturday, May 13. The City investigation is still proceeding, but no new information had been disclosed by this press deadline.

Taylor and Her T-Bird ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

Taylor Miller with her 1956 Ford Thunderbird at her La Jolla home.

Taylor Miller embraces SoCal culture in ‘The Pink Mermaid’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Editor’s Note: In response to an invitation to classic car owners to share their vehicle love stories, more than a dozen car buffs contacted La Jolla Light to be interviewed about their prize possessions. In this new series, we present their delightful roadster experiences.

or newer La Jolla resident Taylor Miller, the Ford Thunderbird is the quintessential California car. And now that she’s taking advantage of nearby surfing, paddleboarding and Golden State outdoor recreation opportunities — she simply had to have one. So she acquired a pink 1956 Ford T-Bird, which she calls “The Pink Mermaid.” “They are the cutest damn cars in the whole world,” Miller said. “People see my car and call it a ‘Malibu Barbie’ car and want to take their picture by it — especially little girls, they go insane!” For several years, Miller shared residency

between WindanSea and Salt Lake City, Utah. But now she is here to stay and a few years ago moved to a house off Torrey Pines Road with her partner, Paul Mears. Mears also owns a T-Bird, and took Miller out for a drive in it during their courtship. “When I saw Paul’s T-Bird, I absolutely fell in love with it. I had to have one. I was driving what he calls a ‘citizen car’ at the time, which was nice, but I wanted a T-Bird with the continental kit (a tire on the back),

which his didn’t have,” she said. “I asked Paul if he could look around for a 1956 T-Bird for me so it would have the kit. We found one in Oregon, owned by a doctor who never drove it; he kept it in the garage. We had someone from the T-Bird Club we belong to check it out. He knew what he was looking at and said it was authentic and worth the money.” The only downside is the color. Miller said while she wasn’t looking for a pink car, the shade is light enough that she was OK with it. Mears’ 1955 T-Bird, named “Teddy,” is blue. A pairing, he said, that does not go unnoticed. “We were living in WindanSea and had the pink and blue cars parked in the driveway one day, and there was a couple who had just gotten married, standing there with their photographer taking pictures,” he said. “I let them get in the cars and stand next to them, as if they were his-and-hers cars for their wedding photos.”

Mears said the appeal of the T-Bird lies in the “creative styling” of the time. “Things were new and people were trying new styles when Ford was making the T-Bird. Nowadays, you can’t tell a Chrysler from a Bentley, cars are so similar ... they were so unique back then. I see old cars and I’m blown away with the creativity.” Miller agrees. “I just love these cars. I like cars and anything sporty, like surfing or skiing. And this car is all about that. I also love the smell of an old car and the fact that it sounds like a boat motor. It’s harder to drive, certainly, but it’s just so different,” she said. “I’ll go somewhere to run an errand and return to my car and there will be a crowd around it. I let people hop in and get their picture taken inside. I can’t go anywhere without people talking to me or getting a thumbs-up on the freeway.” To keep it clean and its parts lubricated, Miller said she regularly washes and drives SEE ONE FOR THE ROAD, B18

When more is not more

La Jolla Cultural Partners

eing defeated by an alarm clock was definitely a new low in my ever-deteriorating relationship with technology. The iHome Color Changing FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio + USB Charger was actually a Christmas gift from my younger son and his wife. Message to kids: I don’t know how to say this nicely, but henceforth, please do not give me any techno Christmas gifts. Seriously, if it so much as has a plug, I don’t want it. And about the Roku you gave me last year. Frankly, I still don’t really understand what a Roku is. Olof got it set up for me and wrote out the directions in words of one syllable. I really intended to use it, but by the time I get out the instructions and the Roku remote and start trying to follow them, I usually feel so stressed that I require a glass of chardonnay. Unfortunately, the chardonnay does not make my Roku-instruction-following skills better. So after a certain number of really bad words, I pour myself a second (this time medicinal, to recover from the stress of Roku-induced failure) glass and switch on HGTV. I often debate whether the loss of

whatever meager techno skills I ever had is the result of incipient cognitive decline (well, duh) or that the world has simply gotten to be too technical a place for vast parts of its populace, i.e. anyone over 40. It’s clear to me that I am a word person marooned in a world of icons. I can never even figure out what the icon is supposed to represent so it’s not exactly helpful in making me operate the gadget. But about my new iHome Color Changing FM Dual Alarm Clock Radio + USB Charger, this clock is definitely an over-achiever. Fortunately, you kids intended it for the guest room where you sleep. What, that nice $10 CVS alarm clock wasn’t good enough for you? OK, apparently not. But I’d like to point out that anyone with the IQ of an amoeba could set the time or the alarm on the CVS thing. It’s a truly intuitive appliance. News flash, techno-designing geeks: More isn’t always more. First of all, no alarm clock should ever come with THREE cords. That alone just about broke me. OK, so it turns out that one of them is the FM antenna (Why? Why?). Another is apparently an “aux audio cable” which will allow you to connect an audio device (an MP3 player, I think?) The third is

apparently an actual power source. How mere mortals are ever supposed to figure this out is beyond me. I concede that the USB port in the back could be useful in charging your iPhone or “any other USB-chargeable device” (no idea what that would be). If I could figure out the settings, I suspect this clock would do my taxes. The FM radio sports six “pre-sets” and the clock display can be personalized with adjustable brightness levels. Personally, I never had trouble adjusting to the non-adjustable brightness level of my CVS alarm clock (which you will have to pry out of my cold dead hands, by the way). But the truly baffling, over-the-top feature is that the clock itself changes colors. This would frankly drive me bat-s--t crazy. There are six color choices. If you had an engineering degree, you could set it to Fade mode (colors slowly fade in and out continually from one color to the next), Fast mode (colors change quickly from one to another through the color spectrum), or One Color Mode (just choose one color). I can only assume that the first two options are meant to be selected while smoking a lot of now-quasi-legal pharmaceuticals. Is this the new generation of lava lamp? The different alarm options? You don’t want to know. At least, I don’t want to know. I can’t even understand them never mind want to rely on them to wake me up for an early morning flight. I spent an entire evening with the manual trying to get so far as setting the time on the iHome-from-Hell alarm clock before consigning it in exasperation to Olof. My Cal Tech-nuclear physics-trained husband

INGA

One of the six color modes for the iHome alarm clock finally got it set up. When I queried how he had achieved this, he replied dryly, “You have to read the instructions.” (Sometimes I really, really hate him.) But he agreed that we should a) leave the manual underneath the clock on the night stand for consultation, and b) break out the CVS alarm clock for guests in our own demographic. There is a part of me that hopes this clock drives the kids nuts when they come down. This could motivate me to figure out how to do the thing that makes it keep changing colors. Hah! Teach YOU to disparage my perfectly good, totally user-friendly CVS alarm clock! Revenge would be so sweet. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

‘Game of Thrones’ meets ‘Mars Trilogy’

Two great writers talk fantasy at UCSD event

Sci-fi writer and UC San Diego alumni Kim Stanley Robinson, fantasy writer George R.R. Martin and Clarion Science Fiction Writing Workshop director Shelley S. Streeby speak to a sold-out audience of some 1,000 fans at UCSD’s Price Center West, May 2.

BY WILL BOWEN It would be hard to deny our flourishing fascination with all things fantastical if you were at UC San Diego’s Price Center West, May 2, when fantasy writer George R.R. Martin (affectionately know as “GRRM”) and sci-fi writer and UCSD alumni Kim Stanley Robinson spoke to a sold-out audience of some 1,000 fans. The event was a madhouse. The line to get in wrapped around the building and people came early vying for the best seats. Tickets were $20 a piece and sold out immediately. The proceeds will be used to support the Clarion Science Fiction Writers Workshop, held every summer on campus. Martin, a fantasy novelist, short story writer, screenwriter and television producer, may be best-known for his epic novels in the series “A Song of Ice and Fire,” which were adapted to become HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Now in its fourth year, “Game of Thrones” has become the television show with the most nominations in Emmy history. In 2016, it won for Best Drama, Best Dramatic Writing, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor, along with 12 other technical Emmys, for things like lighting and sound production. Martin was joined on stage by Robinson, who is best-known for his “Mars Trilogy,” a collection of books about what colonization and life on the red planet might be like for

George R.R. Martin character out of Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.” Robinson, wearing khaki pants, a striped buttoned-up white shirt and a corduroy jacket, was also sporting his brown hiking shoes that still had a little mud on them from the Sierra Nevada, his favorite haunt and the inspiration for the setting of “Mars Trilogy.” Their discussion revolved around the astonishing turn of events wherein fantasy and science-fiction writing were transformed from a minor stigmatized “ghetto” genre of literature (thought mostly for kids), into a major, widely accepted and respected form of literature appreciated by many. Martin explained that the flip could be traced to a review by the great writer Henry James, who compared Robert Lewis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” with another not-so-well-known coming-of-age book

about a youth growing up in France, the name of which Martin could not remember. James wrote that although “Treasure Island” was a better book, because it was unrealistic fantasy, it was of lesser stature than the other book, which was realistic. This belief took hold and dominated literature and education for many years. Martin pointed to the similarities between sci-fi and fantasy, calling them “two flavors of the same thing.” Robinson added that humans are deeply steeped in fantasy because every night when we dream, our mind creates three or four scenarios that are “fantasy-like.” He said his teacher at UCSD, the politically-oriented literary critic, Fredrick Jameson, once observed: “It is clear to me that fantasy is about pre-capitalist society and science fiction is a reflection of capitalistic society”

— the two forms of writing mirror our political and economic development. Both Martin and Robinson agreed that science fiction and fantasy have risen to prominence in literature, media, entertainment and video gaming. Martin had advice for would-be writers of both: “The setting is of utmost importance.” He said he loved creating different castles and clans just to his liking. “One of the things I explore in my writing is the issue of ‘power,’ ” he said. “The quest for power occurs throughout our daily lives with people in all walks of life and in all situations fighting over the tiniest scraps of power. People everywhere want to tell others what to do, but do not want to be told what to do.” Martin said he is also interested in the age-old question of good versus evil. “Nothing nor nobody is all good or all bad. We are a mixture. Sometimes we do good things and sometimes we do bad things. There is always a choice to be made,” he argued. “Science fiction and fantasy, owing in large part to their ability to tell a good story, have conquered the world, taking over television and becoming a major genre of literature of significant stature that should be investigated by all.” After the presentation, the line to buy Martin’s and Robinson’s books numbered beyond 100 people. Amber Atizado, who was at the lecture with her mother and brother, bought all nine of Martin’s books, spending $387! “I have been saving up to buy these books tonight and I bought an extra book for my brother,” she said with a smile. “I’m going to add these books to my collection. I bought them because I love a good story.”

the human species. The trilogy is a metaphor for three possible futures the State of California could experience. The evening began with Professor Sheldon Brown, head of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Imagination on campus, introducing the festivities. Brown got a rousing round of applause with lots of whoops and hollers. He dealt with the adulation by jokingly remarking, “This is the welcome I usually get in all my classes!” He went on to say that the Clarke Center is interested in creativity and imagination — two skills well developed in science fiction and fantasy writing, which are based on the creation of imaginary worlds. Martin and Robinson were interviewed by Professor Shelley S. Streeby, who, in addition to teaching Literature and Ethnic Studies at UCSD, is the director of the Clarion Science Fiction Writing Workshop. She noted that Martin, who’s been writing since he was a child, was educated at Northwestern University, where he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Martin spent most of the 1980s writing for Hollywood and in 1991, began writing his magnum opus “A Song of Fire and Ice.” He has accumulated many honors, including several Hugo Awards. Streeby said that Robinson graduated with a Ph.D. in Literature from UCSD. He is also a Clarion Graduate and helped bring the writing workshop to campus from the East Coast. When Martin and Robinson came to the stage, they received a massively positive reception from the audience. Martin was dressed in black with a purple scarf and a gray Greek fisherman’s hat. His clothing, along with his oversized glasses and thick Santa Claus beard, made him look like a

I’m a former exchange scientist at The Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA and have spent my life researching how to reactivate proteins to strengthen the immune and genetic systems. Between 1985 and 1994 I developed the hypothesis that foods, combined in the right combinations and prepared in a specific method, can reactivate silencing genes so they can once again make proteins that can help ward off disease. Unlike some people in the field who were using virus and mouse models to reactivate protein, my studies were done by observing the people who participated in my Medical Foods program and how they responded to the change in their diet. Medical researchers have recently discovered that reactivated protein can help to rebuild the silencing (damage) gene and activate white blood cells. This discovery supports my hypothesis, based on my research, about how to reactivate protein. Most Cell Therapy Research is done using virus or mouse models to reactivate protein. My studies, on the other hand, are done using raw organic protein prepared to a specific size in specific combinations and prepared using a precise preparation method. The combination of ingredients includes 44 nutrients that the body needs to achieve optimal health.

By following Dr. Hanna’s “Medical Foods” Program, you can live a healthy, disease free life.

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Meet Bird Rock community organizer Ron Fineman BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series shines a spotlight on notable locals we all wish we knew more about! Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar faces to bring you their stories. If you know someone you’d like us to profile, send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call us at (858) 875-5950.

n the two years he’s been a resident of La Jolla, real estate broker and community organizer Ron Fineman has made an impact on the community, especially in Bird Rock. This 56-year-old who wears colorful socks and aviator glasses was raised in Los Angeles and moved to La Jolla in 2015.

Community organizer Ron Fineman has lived in Bird Rock since 2015.

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

How did you become involved with the community?

“I figured it’s a good way to meet people, and it’s interesting. Bird Rock is like a dream.”

Why did you decide to move to Bird Rock?

Let’s Talk About Home Care. Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one.

Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home.

“I knew San Diego because my family is all here. In the 1980s and ’90s I sold computers and software and I came to San Diego a lot. Then, my brother moved here, and my dad followed when there were grandchildren. My husband, Warren, was born here. He grew up in Orange County, but his dad moved back here, as well, in the late ’80s. We had a lot of ties to San Diego; we were coming here every holiday, every birthday, driving on the I-405 and I-5, not loving it. And then, as our parents got older, we decided that we would move here to be close to them. When I came down here to interview for a job, I knew that La Jolla is

where we wanted to be, but I only knew The Village. I drove through Bird Rock and thought, ‘What is this place?’ Because tourists don’t usually come down here. I ended up getting an apartment in WindanSea for a couple months while we were getting ready to sell our house (in LA), and I thought Bird Rock was out of reach, but I looked at a condo here, and we loved it, we’ve lived here ever since.”

Talk about your community involvement.

“I joined the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) last year. I started by volunteering, delivering the newsletters at the end of 2015, and joined the board at the beginning of 2016. The big thing this year was the Bird Rock Tour of Homes, an event that happened in January where ticket holders could go into six Bird Rock houses that were not on the market. We had a great turnout, and raised over $9,000 for Bird Rock Elementary School. The other big thing was starting Sunsets on the Boulevard. April 17 was the first one and it happened again May 12, and it will be held 5-8 p.m. every second Friday through October. It’s an event where the merchants are open late, everyone’s got specials, coupons.”

How are you connected to La Jolla Safety?

“I’m one of the co-founders. Crime has increased significantly here in La Jolla. Our police force is highly understaffed, and so petty crimes are not dealt with, nor are robberies, some burglaries, car and bike thefts. Police just aren’t going to respond. I SEE RON FINEMAN, B11

Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock.

Get help covering day camp costs Parents should inquire into whether the camp participates in income-eligible subsidy programs, for instance through Title XX. For day camps: ■ A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account allows parents to be reimbursed on a pre-tax basis for child care or adult dependent care expenses for qualified dependents that are necessary to allow parents to work, look for work, or to attend school full time. Visit the FSA Feds Web site for more information. ■ In certain circumstances, day care expenses, including transportation by a care provider, may be considered dependent care services and paid with pre-tax dollars. Visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for more information.

had some things stolen out of our garage — my car was cleaned out, and our bikes, which were locked to the rack, were stolen. It’s somewhat personal, it’s not like these things were that big of a deal, but this is some of the chatter we see on NextDoor.com, about public safety, and how our neighborhood has gone from safer to not so safe. You can’t leave your door or windows open. That’s how La Jolla Safety was born. And then it’s really about the residents stepping up and participating. I will say that one of the frustrations I’ve had is I don’t have direct access to the Neighborhood Watch captains in Bird Rock, so it’s hard for me to get people to sign up. We’ve received about half (25) of the sign-ups we need (to get a private security patrol started). We do have an anonymous donor that I believe will donate enough cash for some events to get more people to sign up. We’re not giving up yet, if we can’t launch La Jolla Safety by September, we will probably refund all the money to the people who’ve signed up. If we can’t launch it in MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Bird Rock, we’ll attempt to launch it in A fashion connoisseur, Bird Rock resident another part of La Jolla.” Ron Fineman shows off an outfit.

What do you do for fun?

“I live for travel. I’m obsessed. We do different kinds of travel. We own an RV. I grew up with one, and when Warren and I got together in 1994, we started camping. After four or five years, we bought a travel trailer with eight beds because we figured we would bring my brother, the kids … and the funny thing is, everybody wanted to sleep outside! So when we decided to invest in a larger RV, we bought a 32-foot fifth wheel and our little joke is ‘Cocktails for six, dinner for four, sleeps two.’ We love Anza Borrego, Silver Strand State Beach in Coronado ... we’re going to Crystal Cove in Newport Beach … some day in the future when we retire, we will go to Alaska and Yellowstone, take trips to the East Coast. We also love to travel by plane. We’ve been to 20 countries in Europe. We love cruises, the Caribbean. I always want to be planning the next trip. We have Galapagos, Vietnam, Iceland on our list for the next few years.”

What do you do for a living?

“I got my Real Estate broker’s license in 2010, it’s a second career for me. One of the fun things about living in La Jolla and selling real estate here is that there are very fun homes. Before being a broker, I sold computer and desktop software. I was a sales rep pretty much right out of college, I started working for a software company and I started doing sales. I traveled with work for many years, and then when I settled at home, I slowed it down. I sold many interesting things over the years, I sold CD-RAM servers and jukeboxes before the Internet.”

How long have you been married?

“We just had our 22 anniversary. We had a wedding ceremony in our backyard in Playa del Rey 22 years ago. It wasn’t legal, but in 2013 we went to New York and we filed the paperwork and made it legal. We thought about having kids, but we decided we loved to do the uncle thing. We had three animals (dogs) throughout the years.”

What do you like to do around town?

“We love movies, taking walks in Bird Rock or going to Calumet Park. We frequent a lot of the restaurants here, and because I am the merchant liaison (of BRCC) I know all the owners, so it’s a little bit special for me to be able to shop here and interact with them, hear their challenges, be a customer as well. We love to ride our bikes. We often ride down to Mission Beach or Pacific Beach and visit our cousins there on our way back.”

Do you like sports?

“We love sports. We have season tickets to the Gulls, who reappeared soon after we moved here, and now the Gulls are in the playoffs, so that’s pretty exciting! I’m a baseball fan. I go to the Padres games with my dad and my brother. I’m a Dodgers fan at heart, but I’m a Padres fan, too. Also, Petco Park is something special, and the Dodgers’ stadium is special to me because I grew up going there. Still, it’s one of the crappiest stadiums in the country and needs to be rebuilt.”

How do you chose your attire?

“I think that I just have that gene. I do read GQ. I enjoy fashion, I’m a big shopper. It’s kind of like cooking, which I also love. I read recipes and I follow them, but I also don’t, and I look at it the same way. 99 times out of 100 I can put together a meal that I’ve never put together before, and I never will again, but it will turn out great. And I love mixing and matching what I have in the closet, trying new combinations. I’ve recently started wearing dress sneakers with my dress clothes. It’s just a sense that I have.”

Hats Off! to 24th GOLD Diggers charity luncheon BY LESLIE CARTER 24-year-tradition — and festive celebration of San Diego’s nonprofit organizations — the GOLD (Gifts Of Loving Donors) Diggers “Hats Off to San Diego” luncheon was held April 28 at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. This year, 11 nonprofits entered a hat in the Betty Mabee Hat Parade, with designs based on the theme, “As Time Goes By,” to compete for financial prizes. The Social Service League of La Jolla took home the 18-Karat Gold Award of $2,500, for its hat modeled by Kristi Pieper. The ensemble was designed in black and white, in tribute to the film “Casablanca,” which marks its 75th anniversary this year. Classic quotes from the film and musical notes were tucked into the design as a tribute to love, friendship and unforgettable memories. B.A.B.E.S. (Beating Alzheimer’s by Embracing Science) won the second place 49er Award of $1,500. Designed in purple and modeled by B.A.B.E.S. Founder/CEO Jamie Tyrone, this fascinator sparkled with lights, and featured a small piano keyboard to represent how music helps to bring back fading memories. The B.A.B.E.S. creation was also voted the $750 best theme Golden Shovel award. The third place, Prospector Award, went to the Angels of Aseltine Auxiliary entry modeled by Carol Fasching. Her purple-and-black hat carried clock faces on the brim in tribute to the hours put in by the dedicated teachers at Aseltine School. Classics4Kids won the $750 Wild Card drawing. Maureen Duggan modeled its hat. There were also two major beneficiaries to receive $4,000 awards: The Autism Tree Project Foundation and Playwrights Project. All the contestants took home $500 in thanks for their participation. Funds brought in by the GOLD Diggers luncheon are immediately dispersed so the money goes to work in the community. The Honorary Chairs of the event were long-time members Jackie Gillman and Merle Lotherington. Several more yearly awards were announced at the event. GOLD Diggers’ President Charlotte Perry, named Sonia Wilson GOLD Digger of The Year. “Sonia continues to work tirelessly in so many capacities: as a board member and as vice-president for development. She has opened her beautiful home and garden to us for the Golden Coffee and other events. And, for the past several years she has been the one to coordinate and package our Hat’s Off Silent Auction,” said Perry. Marion Dodson, who has hosted many GOLD Digger events at her Rancho Santa Fe home, was honored with the Founder’s Award for her continual support.

Accessory Dwelling Units: Beyond the Granny Flat With the newly increased freedom of building an accessory dwelling unit—an ADU—on your property because of recent California legislation comes a multitude of options for how to use your ADU structure. Commonly known as the granny ﬂat, an ADU is a worthwhile investment to your luxury home even if you don’t plan to use it as an income property or to stash visiting or extended-stay relatives (but the space is still nice to have for them in a pinch). Because of the new residential codes, ADUs still need to have electricity and plumbing, so make sure your design plan comes with a bathroom. The

great part of ADUs is their versatility—you can use them for just about anything. Home office Working from home is always more effective when you have a dedicated space. This is even more true of the detached backyard office: You can actually leave your home life behind and move to another building, even if it is a twenty-foot walk. Just that little separation has been shown to increase productivity of professionals who work from home, maximizing efficiency so that you actually have time to enjoy your luxury home. Another upside to consider is that with a home office, there are ways to get special tax deductions for your home office space. There are two methods of deductions, the regular option and the simplified option, in which you multiply your home office’s square footage by $5, up to 300 square feet. Your home office must be your regular office, used exclusively for business, or it must be the place where you meet with clients. For more information on the types of home office deductions, visit https://www.irs.gov/uac/topsix-tips-about-the-home-office-deduction.

Home studio For the creatives, maybe you want the look of an artist’s loft to write your memoirs, or maybe you are working on a collection of paintings to show at a gallery. One caveat is that if you’re setting up your own home recording studio, this will require a special audio/visual setup by a professional, as well as soundprooﬁng, and acoustic paneling—it is a separate beast from a more versatile dwelling unit. But if you are a professional artist and your home studio is your primary place of work, then the home ofﬁce tax deduction mentioned above may apply to you. Yoga studio or meditation room Nothing says “luxury home” like your own dedicated space for exercise, yoga, or mediation. Make sure that your design has enough room to fully extend with room leftover for additional movement, or it will be a pretty stilted exercise. Home brewery or cask room Why not? Maybe you’ll create the next great Southern California microbrew. Reading retreat

Ideal if you need a quiet place away from everyone to finish that book you started four months ago or you need to hide from the rest of your family for a couple of hours. Because this is a dwelling unit and not a shed, it will have a lock to keep everyone else out of your hair. There are many companies that make prefab sheds and modular structures with customizable options, or you can have one built to your own specifications. You want to make sure your ADU has plenty of natural light coming in from large windows. For one thing, you want to take advantage of any outdoor landscaping that can provide a good view. But any work in an office or for a studio will necessitate an airy space with windows that can open, especially if you work with paint or other chemicals used in art. Having a versatile, airy design will also be an asset to your home’s resale value.

The Pink Mermaid, a 1956 Ford Thunderbird with a continental kit, owned by Taylor Miller. FROM ONE FOR THE ROAD, B1 The Pink Mermaid. “I love to wash my car. My father always had to have the nicest cars and when I was little I would help him wash them,” she said. “And by driving it around, it keeps the parts from breaking.” Both Miller and Mears regularly drive their vehicles, but one is more cautious than the other when it comes to dings and dents.

Mears said, “I’m careful with the car, but I use it. I drive it to go surfing or run errands. Some (classic) cars are for driving and others live in trailers their whole lives.” Miller is somewhere in between, she said, “I’ll drive The Pink Mermaid around, but if someone opens the door and hits my car, I get really upset.” In the event a part needs to be replaced, Mears said the T-Bird is simple to fix. “I’ve

Paul Mears and his 1955 T-Bird, named ‘Teddy.’ worked on cars my whole life, but you don’t need a lot of experience to make minor repairs, you can get the parts easily and look it up on YouTube when you don’t know what to do. That’s something you have to keep in mind when you buy an old car, how available the parts will be, because you could buy a $4,000 car but not be able to drive it because a $35 part isn’t available. You can find parts for this car all over the place, and there are

T-Bird Clubs everywhere that can help.” Mears added the car clubs are everywhere because there is an appreciation for this “American Classic,” which has translated into pop culture. In the 1973 film, “American Graffiti,” Suzanne Somers makes a cameo appearance as “Blond in the T-Bird” that prompts Curt, played by Richard Dreyfus, to call her “The most perfect dazzling creature I’ve ever seen.”

Latest Bird Rock café exhibit features two distinct art styles BY JANE WHEELER The work of two Bird Rock artists are featured this month at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, 5827 La Jolla Blvd. Photographer/writer Mark Carter displays his Big Sur travel photo series (framed by hand with reclaimed wood), while artist/musician Fernando Apodaca fills the café walls with a variety of work created from his unbridled imagination. As Carter’s artist statement explains, “I’m the scrawny kid who grew up in the faded Kodak hues of the 1970s with bowl-cut hair, cheap denim jeans and Velcro sneakers. Inept at the conventional sports of basketball, baseball and football, I stumbled into the world of BMX and skateboarding, which opened up a realm of possibilities and individual expression. Through the vivid photos of skater magazines like Thrasher and Transworld, the interest in photography was sparked and I was hooked on capturing life in still and movement. ... “Exploring the world around me in ‘Skip the Gypsy Van,’ a DIY-renovated Dodge Sprinter, my images reflect nature, landscape and people alternating between monochromatic and muted colors — whichever tell the story best. At its heart, my photography immerses an audience in the rich textures of life through place and perspective in hope of eliciting new experiences of joy, beauty and meaning. “My latest series, ‘Big Surreal,’ attempts to capture the isolation, ruggedness and adrenaline of the abandoned coastline of Northern California. Selecting images with

great depth of field, utilizing colors muted by polyurethane and choosing repurposed wood for framing, I desired to provide a visual experience that combines texture and natural elements that highlights the beauty that comes with age.” — Learn more at mcphoto.me Apodaca describes his endeavors in his bio: “I am an artist, director and composer whose work has been created and exhibited internationally. My art and filmmaking style merges unique processes (3D stereoscopy, light projection, life casting, performance, and puppeteering) with visual surrealism and sculpture. I explore relationships found in world cultures, and examines themes such

as reproduction, growth, entropy and obsolescence.” At age 4, Apodaca began his art studies, focusing on violin and drawing. He was encouraged by his parents Eduardo and Maria, both creators of educational games and materials. His father was gifted in oil painting and cartooning, and his mother a pianist who enjoyed making puppets. Tragedy struck when Eduardo and Maria were killed in a plane crash in Honduras. Apodaca was 15 when he moved in with his oldest sister and began to create art in diaries and sketchbooks. After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from Pepperdine University, Apodaca

attended the SACI Art Institute in Florence, Italy and the Southern California Institute of Architecture. He was invited by photographer David Gulden to complete a series of artworks in Kenya for a solo exhibition at Phillips in New York. From July 2004 to January 2005, Apodaca worked in the capital of Nairobi, at photographer Peter Beard’s Hog Ranch, and at the remote prehistoric graveyard of Lake Turkana. The works were constructed from bronze, glass, paper, charcoal, leather and hair. His art film, “Majini,” won awards for “Best Experimental” at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival in 2005. Apodaca directed the music video and created art for Pearl Jam’s “Life Wasted” in 2006, which earned a nomination for “Best Special Effects” at the MTV Video Music Awards. He was also awarded “Best Music Video Director” at the San Diego Film Festival 2006. In 2017, he composed the original score on violin with Todd Hannigan for the Fishpeople film, produced by Patagonia. Apodaca’s clients have included Beats by Dr. Dre, Apple Inc., Panasonic, Adobe, Intel, Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, New York Dolls, Sonos and others. He is co-founder and art director of MODRA Studio and MODRA Style, high-concept artisanal textile design companies based in La Jolla. British Vogue, Vogue Taiwan and Luxe Magazine recently featured textiles derived from his paintings and sculptures. — Learn more at fernandoapodaca.com

Sonia Hamburger

Bidding begins!

July 31, 1924 - February 8, 2017 LA JOLLA — Sonia Hamburger, 92, passed away from heart failure in San Diego, CA. She was born in Vienna, Austria, to Emma Gross and David Von Dishbach. Sonia’s saga began as the daughter of an indomitable mother who carried Sonia and her sister Alexandra through a chaotic Europe to refuge in Brooklyn, NY in the early 1930’s. Sonia and Robert met immediately prior to his distinguished service as a pilot in the Pacific theater. In his absence, Sonia held the family together refusing to accept an official notice that he may be missing in action. This faith remained for all 72 years of their marriage, enduring tragedy and

triumph. After his military service, Bob entered Yale Medical School, then early pediatric practice and a Yale professorship. He was asked to help establish the UCSD Medical School in the early 60’s. The family began a new life in La Jolla and became an integral

part of the community for over 60 years. Sonia returned to her own education becoming one of the earliest medical anthropologist and established the first menopause hotline, providing resources for women undergoing fundamental biological changes that society largely ignored. From her cherished Tertulia sisters, to close friends and relatives, travels around the world and the Robert & Sonia Hamburger Family Chamber Music Series at UCSD, the family enjoyed life to the fullest. Sonia was predeceased by her husband, Robert N. Hamburger, MD; and beloved daughters, Hilary, Debre and

Lisa. She is survived by granddaughter, Toya Holiday; greatgranddaughters, Saylor, Jasper and Mercy; niece, Stephanie Hanks; cousins, Arlene “Florence” Falk and Richard Gross; sister-in-law, Evelyn Anderson; sonin-law, Anthony Bila; and grandson-in-law, Brandy Holiday. Sonia possessed a natural elegance and fiery temper, intrepid honesty and laser like intelligence. Returned now to her lifelong companion. The love remains.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MAY 18, 2017 - PAGE B25

Art Alive 2017: Grand event has La Jolla connections LET’S REVIEW BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT On April 28, San Diego Museum of Art kicked off its 36th annual weekend-long Art Alive fundraiser with the traditional Bloom Bash celebration, featuring eye-popping installations, tasty food and drinks, live music and dancing, along with flowery interpretations of artworks from the museum’s collection by 95 floral designers. This year, with some of the recently-renovated galleries showing pieces that had been in storage for years, there were new opportunities for designers and viewers. And one of the delights was Gallery 18, which was given a surrealist’s dream makeover for the April 27 Premiere Patrons dinner — a full-gallery homage to a painting by Rene Magritte, complete with a supersized four-season tree installation by Carlsbad-based Nature Maker, creators of steel art trees. First prize went to Kate Law, for her graceful interpretation of “Female Nude Reading,” a 1915 painting by Robert Delaunay. Law, an accomplished floral designer who is director of merchandising for the online delivery service Pro Flowers, said her arrangement was inspired by the way the woman’s hair draped down, and she managed to find all the colors she wanted at her company’s flower farm. Law has strong La Jolla connections: she used to work at Red Floral Design in Bird Rock, and she and her husband, Ken, were married at La Jolla Lutheran Church, with a wedding reception at the Museum of La Jolla Ikebana master Jackie Zhang with her sunflowers Contemporary Art in La Jolla. One of the most inventive arrangements was by Michelle Frost, who won her first award for floral design at the Del Mar Fair about 25 years ago and who used to sell wholesale lilacs to Adelaide’s La Jolla. Though she normally favors a more Asian style, Frost thought she’d try something completely different this time, and chose a painting by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. “I thought about it a lot, and decided to use expanded metal, which I finally found at a building supply store,” she said. “And it took me forever to cut all the little holes and glue in the stems.” Another interesting arrangement was Nancy Hagen Baldwin’s interpretation of a cubist head by an unknown sculptor. A month before Art Alive, Baldwin was one of five floral designers asked to do an outdoor preview, creating a floral portrayal of a favorite San Diego destination — she chose the sea lions at La Jolla Cove. For Baldwin, Art Alive is a family affair. For years, her late mother, Elaine Hagen, came in from Minnesota to be part of the exhibition, and this year, her daughter, Elena Rose Baldwin, had a piece on view, although she couldn’t be at the opening: it was her prom night. About 1,200 people attended the Bloom Bash, with almost 12,000 counted at Art Alive all weekend long. If you weren’t among them, you can still find plenty to see in the renovated galleries, and consider what flowers you’d use to interpret the art. — San Diego Museum of Art is at 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego. Closed At Art Alive’s Bloom Bash, first-prize winner Kate Law poses Wednesdays; open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; noon with her graceful interpretation of a 1915 Delaunay painting. to 5 p.m. Sundays. sdmart.org
