BY ASHLEY MACKIN While the site ramp to the middle level of Children’s Pool lifeguard tower is open for harbor seal viewing, the rest of the tower will not be finished until the end of the year. With just a short list of tasks to complete — but a cutoff date of Dec. 15 in accordance with seal pupping season — major work on the tower has been suspended to resume in May. “There are a few items that still need to be completed on the exterior of the building and those items will be addressed after the pupping season is over,” said Monica Munoz, senior public information officer for the

San Diego Public Works Department, via e-mail. “However, there are items that the contractor is currently working on in the interior of the station, and we anticipate the lifeguard station itself will be substantially completed in the winter of 2016.” These items need to be checked-off before the tower can be opened, she said: Connect electricity to building; start up and test all systems that run on electricity; install telephones, Internet and cable TV; install furnishings, fixtures and equipment; touch up paint; install SEE LIFEGUARD TOWER, A8

BY ASHLEY MACKIN hree years ago, a group of third grade La Jolla Elementary School students got to go on a daytrip to Legoland with their teacher Joan Boyle. In the midst of all the fun, Boyle said, the students noticed that the First Lego League Robotics Competition was underway, and stopped to watch. For the competition, young engineers must build a robot and program it to complete specific challenges on a gameboard, and secondarily, complete a project that relates to each year’s competition theme. Fascinated and inspired, the students wanted to start a Lego-based robotics club of their own. So Boyle applied for a materials grant, and the La Jolla Elementary School Robotics Club formed with 10 enthusiastic students, and has come a long way since. There are now 22 third- fourth- and fifth-grade students that make up five teams within the after-school club.

Village mailbox removed for repair, promptly replaced BY ASHLEY MACKIN It turns it out it wasn’t a Grinch who stole the U.S. mailbox fronting Chase Bank in the Village on Christmas Eve. The mailbox was taken away for repair to a jammed lock and replaced the morning of Dec. 31. La Jolla Light received several reports from residents concerned that the mailbox at the corner of Girard Avenue and Silverado Street had been removed without warning — SEE MAILBOX REMOVED, A10

In December 2015, two teams participated — and placed — in the very competition that inspired them to start a club in the first place. Boyle boasted, “The kids are so dedicated and they did an outstanding job.” At the Dec. 5 SoCal Championship of the First Lego League Robotics Competition at Legoland, the theme was reducing trash, and La Jolla Elementary School’s team T.R.A.S.H. won second place for its robot design and team B.L.A.M. received the Judges Award for its composting project. Sarah Kaplan, 11, has been on the robotics team for all three years, and was on team T.R.A.S.H. this year. “I really liked watching the robot actually work after all the time we spent programming it and the process,” she said. For the team’s entry, they built a basic robot with a versatile attachment that self-adjusts to meet different challenges. SEE ROBOTICS CLUB, A3

perform tasks in front of judges.” But she noted that she was prepared for the competition by watching some of the older students (Annie joined the club in third grade and is now in fifth grade). In addition to the older students helping the younger ones, there is some parent help as well. “This year, one of the parents is a programmer and he volunteers with us, so he was named the assistant coach. We also have a high school student from the La Jolla High School robotics team and an engineer helping us out,” Boyle said. With mentorship readily available, the school is developing a “newbie” group of second-graders that will work on building a robot, but not programming it. There are 28 students signed up for this group. The students in the newbie group could “graduate” to the team level. In both levels, Boyle said, the students learn the program’s core values of teamwork, cooperation and professionalism. “We teach children to support each other and pat each other on the back,” she said. “They learn to value each others’ work, and when they don’t win, they congratulate the students who did. As a teacher, seeing the respect they develop for each other is amazing.” And it’s already worked for Michael. “By being on this team, I’ve learned it’s harder to overcome a problem by yourself. If you have a team, different ideas come together and that usually fixes the problem,” he said. Sarah added she sees other benefits for the future. “It’s great for kids to learn how to program because there are programming jobs out there and a lot of people don’t know how to code or program; it could create opportunities for us in the future.” ♦

Contrarily, other teams would build different attachments to be installed based on gameboard challenges. But team T.R.A.S.H. made one robot that could do it all. “I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy robotics and programming, but my teacher Ms. Boyle and a friend on the team motivated me to stick with it. Now I like it a lot,” Sarah said. For the project aspect of the competition that does not require a robot, “Team B.L.A.M. made a composting (program) for teachers at the school, and decided to use it for the competition. They showed the judges how their project works and how it reduced trash at school,” Boyle said. Michael Khamishon, 10, was on Team B.L.A.M. and helped put the project together. “It was a lot more challenging than I thought, but also a lot of fun,” he said. “For our composting project, we got composting bins and created songs to teach the kindergarteners and first-graders how to use them. For the older kids, we gave them the diary of a worm to show how composting works. Some of the classrooms already have them and use them.” Throughout the year, the club meets two days a week after school, but more frequently as competition season nears. During club meetings, the students develop robots with Mindstorms technology, which uses specialty Lego material to build the robot and an app on a tablet to program it. The young programmers use the app to decide what the robot will do, and Bluetooth technology transmits the directions to the robot. The students are able to experiment with different actions, such as walking,

For Michael, the trial-and-error aspect is the most fun. “Sometimes it’s funny when you fail, because you program the robot to do something specific and it does a completely different thing. Or sometimes you program it wrong and its funny to see how wrong it went. But the best part is when you get past that and fix the problem and find a solution,” he said.

After fine-tuning their robots and deciding what they’d like them to do, the students designed, built and programmed a robot for the competition. For Annie Peppers, 11, the experience of presenting before the judges was exhilarating. “It was so much fun, but it was challenging at first,” she said. “But that’s what made me want to do it, I wanted to work through that challenge.

La Jolla Democratic Club to host Imam ■ Religious leader will discuss Islam and Muslim culture

COURTESY

Taha Hassane, Imam and Islamic Center of San Diego’s director of public and interfaith relations

BY ASHLEY MACKIN With the intent of providing an open and informative forum about Muslims and the religion of Islam, the La Jolla Democratic Club will host Imam Taha Hassane from the Islamic Center of San Diego, as the keynote speaker at its 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 10 meeting in the Community Room of La Jolla Village Square, 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive, inside the mall next to the AMC Theatres box office. “I just thought it would be great for our club to learn more,” said Derek Cassady, president of La Jolla Democratic Club. “How many people in La Jolla know a Muslim person? I know I don’t. There is so much misinformation out there, and people think they know about Islam and Muslims, but how much of that information came from a Muslim person?” A thought Imam Hassane said he appreciates. “I value any opportunity to reach out to our neighbors, or any groups of fellow Americans, who are interested to learn about Islam and Muslims as an important portion of the American social fabric. Such presentations give people a chance to ask their questions and share their feelings with their Muslim neighbors,” said the director of public and interfaith relations via e-mail. “People who will attend will get the right information about the Islamic faith and Muslim

community from its source. Also, they will be able to correct the many misconceptions that are spread in the media about Islam and Muslims.” Chiefly, regarding the extremist acts carried out by “Islamic” terrorists. “Anyone who studies the Islamic faith understands that these acts of violence do not represent the Islamic teachings,” Hassane said. “Those extremists have to find a justification for their crimes, and the easiest way to do it is to turn into the sacred texts of the faith, twist them, take them out of context, and use them to justify their crimes. This is what the ignorant people do. Throughout history, there were many individuals and groups who committed crimes against humanity based on their ‘faith inspirations.’ ” For his candor and willingness, Cassady said he was “so honored” the Imam will speak. “My hope is to have an interchange between the members of our club and the Islamic community … because there are so many misconceptions about the Quran (the Islam holy text) and their faith,” he said. “My goal is to have a program that might help some of us be more informed. And once our club members have this experience, they can share what they learned with others.” The presentation is free and open to the public. For further details, call (858) 457-0246. ♦

Many buyers are attracted to the charm of older homes. There are a few things to be aware of though when purchasing an older home. Some homes built between 1940 and 1970 may predate current safety features. An example would be the possibility of pipes being wrapped with asbestos insulation. Also homes built prior to 1978 may contain lead based paint. Homes built prior to 1950 may have a rubber compound that becomes brittle in the wiring system. Faulty circuit breaker panels on homes built between 1950 and 1970 are quite common. There were two speciﬁc manufacturers of panels in that era that always seem to appear on property inspection reports causing warnings for replacement ASAP. It is best to also check with your insurance company, to make sure they have no special requirements to fully insure an older home.

Vikings’ planned Bioscience Center will be available to all San Diego-area schools

An artist rendering of the planned state-of-the-art Bioscience Center at La Jolla High School.

COURTESY

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The committee behind the proposed Bioscience Center at La Jolla High School recently announced that plans for the state-of-the-art educational facility would include an extra lab unit, which would be available to other schools in the San Diego Unified School District. Schools without such advanced science facilities will be able to request lab time for special experiments and lessons at La Jolla High’s Bioscience Center, 750 Nautilus St. Explaining the move, parent and member of the Bioscience Center Advisory Group, Linden Blue, said La Jolla High currently has three lab areas for biology and chemistry classes. The proposed new two-story facility will have four, each of which consists of a classroom, lab area, lecture area and a preparation area. “There will be one (spare) lab unit available for schools that do not have such facilities to come to La Jolla and use ours,” Blue told La Jolla Light. “Some modern high school science experiments require overnight incubation or be conducted in a sterile area, and that isn’t possible in the labs built in schools in the 1980s or even the ’90s because these requirements weren’t taken into account when they were built.

Further, several La Jolla-area scientists have shown interest in guest lecturing at the yet-unnamed Bioscience Center, and those lectures could be archived and webcast for the benefit of all high school classes in the region. “The guest lectures will connect, in an unprecedented way, the high school bioscience curriculum and laboratory experiments to the real world of scientific research and industrial drug development,” said La Jolla High School Principal Chuck Podhorsky in a press release. By opening the facility to multiple schools, Blue noted, the hope is that donors from outside La Jolla might also be willing to contribute to its construction. “This facility will not only benefit the students of La Jolla, including those who are bussed in, but it could benefit all students in San Diego,” Blue explained. “We’ve held several educational events over the past 12 months that led to the creation of a strong network of supporters among the local biotech industry, the Biocom Institute, academic research institutes, San Diego Unified School District and San Diego County Office of Education.” More than $4.6 million of the necessary $8.6 million for Phase One has already been raised, he said. These figures do not include funding for the proposed

amphitheater and courtyard leading to Coggan Pool on campus, which will be constructed in Phase Two of the project. Phase One construction is scheduled to begin this summer. Naming opportunities are available for the Bioscience Center starting at $50,000 for a lab bench all the way up to the building itself for $2.5 million. In late 2014, the La Jolla Community Foundation established a donor-advised fund to manage financial contributions to the center. “For an individual, family or group who would like to be associated with training the next generation of world-class scientists and technicians, it is an unprecedented opportunity,” said La Jolla High School parent Jeff Macelli. “It is also possible that more than one name can be on the building.” The idea for the new Bioscience Center originated from the realization that the San Diego community needs to provide its high school students with the highest quality biological science education in the country. “We are blessed to live in an environment that has biological science resources in abundance — both as world-class universities, research institutes and biotech companies,” said La Jolla High School parent Tim Scott. “Rather than import scientists and technicians from other parts of the country, or even overseas, we need to be training our own children for these high quality jobs.” ♦ ■ For more details and donation options, visit ljhs-biosciencecenter.com

Due to the annual harbor seal pupping season moratorium (Dec. 15-May 15), construction activities that might disturb the pregnant and nursing harbor seals that haul-out at Children’s Pool must halt. After missing the fall 2015 deadline set this time last year, the intention was to have the exterior completed by Dec. 15 so work could proceed on the interior of the $3.25 million structure during the pupping season, and be finished in May. Myrna Dayton, deputy director of field engineering with the City of San Diego’s Public Works Department, previously told La Jolla Light that work was suspended during the previous two pupping seasons (December 2013 to May 2014 and December 2014 to May 2015), following the previous tower’s July 2013 demolition. A variety of issues caused delays during working months over the last two years. Among them, the project was heavily reliant on material deliveries which lead to crews waiting for these materials to begin work; a discrepancy in the floor elevation was discovered; and a nesting seagull chick was discovered on site, which forced delays until the fledgling could take flight. The KMA Architecture and Engineering designed lifeguard tower features graffiti-resistant composite panels for the stairwell tower; anodized aluminum railings and window framing; fiber-cement siding with the appearance of redwood; precast concrete and polished concrete blocks; a Bermuda roof atop the observation tower; and energy-efficient, reflective roofing for the rest of the structure. ♦

Navy SEAL Opens Tutoring Center in The Village

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Walters, Community Center executive director. “We have fabulous programs to offer active adults and seniors, and Chateau has the residents who can enjoy and benefit from these activities,” Added Wendy Matalon, managing director of Chateau La Jolla Inn, “This partnership will provide our residents with additional opportunities to live their best lives.” The Community Center’s mission is to provide programs and services that promote lifelong learning, wellness and friendship.

Focuses on Preparing Students for Elite College Placement

History group will screen Holocaust documentary at UCSD In 2015, John Harvard Academy saw its students admitted to Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Columbia, UCLA, Yale, Notre Dame, Boston College, and many more. Currently located in Coronado, they are expanding into The Village, opening this month. John Harvard Academy is a Private Preparatory Institute for K-12 students who want to strengthen their knowledge in one or more subjects in preparation for academic success and ultimately, elite college placement. The concept is different from other tutoring academies because of its unlimited after-school tutoring in all subjects. The idea is to help students become well-rounded by providing daily help for homework questions of any subject. JHA also includes supplemental learning as part of the program in order to strengthen students’ knowledge base overall.

To celebrate our Grand Opening in La Jolla, John Harvard Academy is offering FREE ENROLLMENT in January.

*Parents must sign their student up and start the initial session by Jan 31st.

The programs were designed by founder Dr. Andre Tran, a Harvard-trained educator who currently sits on the Harvard Admissions Board. He has over 25 years experience in education, curriculum development, business development, marketing, strategy, and ﬁnance. JHA La Jolla will be run by former Navy SEAL Graham Throneberry. After having successfully designed and implemented the mentorship program for incoming students aspiring to be Navy SEALs, Throneberry has been working closely with Dr. Tran expanding his skillset to focus on K-12 students. JHA La Jolla offers: • Daily Homework Assistance • All Math: Common Core to Calculus • Customized Supplemental Learning Curriculum • ACT/SAT Prep • College Applications and Admissions Interview Prep “Because we have open hours, this allow our families the capability to customize their experience rather than having to choose between which subjects are more important. One moment a student could want more understanding with math concepts, and the next, English. Here they can come in with any homework question, any day after school during open hours. This also allows parents free time to run errands or have leisure time while their student completes their homework before dinner. We’re happy to bring that beneﬁt to today’s overscheduled modern family.” Graham Throneberry

FROM MAILBOX REMOVED, A1 and each had different stories as to why. Barbara Solley, manager of Bulfer’s Fine Jewelry, said she heard two accounts of why the box was taken away, and wanted to get to the bottom of the story. “That one box is essential to the businesses around here,” she said. “There are banks all around it and people include mail dropoffs when they are out running errands. The day after it was removed, my customers came to me asking of its whereabouts.” Solley said originally, United States Postal Service (USPS) representatives told her the box was removed permanently to make things more efficient for the postal workers that collect the mail. She was later told it was removed temporarily for repair. Returning a call from La Jolla Light, USPS communication representative John Hyatt said the box was removed because the lock was jammed and postal workers could not

The Holocaust Living History Workshop will screen the documentary “Think Only of Today: The Impact of the Holocaust on Three Generations,” 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13 in the Seuss Room at Geisel Library on the UCSD campus. The film traces the life of Max Garcia from his childhood in Amsterdam through the Holocaust to his immigration and life in the United States. Born in 1924, Max was interned in Westerbork before being deported to Auschwitz and later Mauthausen. Interviews with Max’s children and Max, Holocaust grandchildren reveal survivor the different ways each generation has grappled with the burden of such a searing experience. The film premiered in Ebensee in May 2015, the location of Max’s liberation 70 years prior. A discussion with Max, his daughter, Tania, and the filmmakers, Bob Schneider and Alberto Lao will follow. The event is free to the public and includes refreshments. For more details, e-mail hlhw@ucsd.edu or call (858) 534-7661.

“easily access it to collect mail in a timely manner.” He added that the box was not broken into, and no mail should have been lost as a result of the damaged lock. With the Girard Avenue box securely back in its place — and not slated for permanent removal — Hyatt said the USPS has a specific protocol in place for terminating a box when needed, which includes public notice. He explained each USPS collection box is checked annually using “density testing” to see how regularly it’s used. Should continued collection from a box be deemed inefficient, the box might be slated for removal. “If the box isn’t collecting enough on a regular basis, we will place a notice on the collection box for 30 days indicating the plan is to remove it, along with the removal date, and we try to list the next nearest collection box location,” he said. “We try to provide as much information as possible to make the removal (when necessary) as convenient as possible.” ♦

Effective Jan. 1: Highlights of California’s new laws

■ Find the complete list at www.ca.gov

block imposition of the new law, arguing that it is forced speech, but a federal judge rejected the claim.

undreds of new laws came on the books for Californians Jan. 1, 2016. Here is a rundown of those getting the most press!

■ Search warrants: Law enforcement officers will be required to obtain a search warrant before they can obtain emails, text messages, online history and other digital data from suspects.

■ Minimum wage: California's minimum wage rises to $10 an hour from $9 an hour, well above the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. In addition, amid a national debate about income inequality, several legislative and ballot initiative proposals will push for a $15 an hour minimum wage as early as 2020. Two union factions have submitted competing minimum wage ballot initiatives for 2016.

■ Vaccines: One of 2015's fiercest fights in the state Capitol was over a bill

introduced in the wake of a measles outbreak at Disneyland and requires full vaccination for most children to enroll in school. Schools will begin vetting students to ensure they have their shots in July, before the 2016-2017 school year begins. ■ Cheerleaders: Cheerleaders for professional sports teams will be entitled to minimum wage under a new law that requires teams to classify them as workers instead of contractors. The law, authored by

EST.

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, also provides them with sick leave, overtime pay and other labor protections available to team staff. The law is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation. ■ Abortion: Crisis pregnancy centers that discourage women from getting abortions will be required to provide information about the procedure, affordable contraception and prenatal care. Clinics operated by abortion opponents sued to

■ Ballot initiatives: The fee to file a California ballot initiative proposal increases from $200 to $2,000, an effort to limit frivolous proposals and recoup administrative costs. ♦ — The San Diego Union-Tribune and The Associated Press contributed to this report

Community Expertise Values History Integrity Networking Toddler through Eighth Grade Progressive, Project-Based Education Open House for Prospective Families

■ Student privacy: California enacts what supporters say is the nation's toughest law for protecting student privacy rights by barring companies from using their personal information for profit. Companies are responsible for protecting any personal information that they gather from elementary and high school students, and the data can only be used for school purposes.

■ Equal pay: Female workers in California get new tools to challenge gender-based wage gaps under a law supporters say offers the strongest equal-pay protection in the nation. The legislation places the burden of proof on an employer to show a man's higher pay for similar work is based on factors other than gender. It also prevents employers from retaliating against workers discussing or asking how much their male colleagues are paid, though employers aren't required to provide that information.

■ Ride-sharing: Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft will have to participate in a California Department of Motor Vehicles program and regularly monitor the records of drivers. The system flags actions of license holders such as DUI arrests.

Cut the chill in style with clothing from Alpaca Collections BY MARTI GACIOCH There’s no reason to let the colder temps chill your seasonal spirit this winter. Alpaca Collections cuts winter chill with some of the finest woolen wear available — wool from the coats of llamas. “Alpaca is thermal, so it adapts to the body’s temperature,” said storeowner Santiago Ortega. “If it’s cold, alpaca keeps you warm, and when it’s warm, you won’t suffocate; it’s also very soft to wear.” The Alpaca Collection at 1275 Prospect St. in La Jolla caters mainly to women, with a small selection of items for men. The store is a colorful showcase of Alpaca coats, sweaters, shawls, scarves, hats and socks. Huess vary from naturally colored, eco-friendly alpaca to colored styles in browns, black, red, blues, greens, etc., depending on each season. Soft colorful blankets and throws are a popular store item. “We also sell a clothing line of beautiful, soft Alpaca and silk-blend shawls in a rainbow of

Alpaca Collections showcases some of the world’s finest natural fiber garments, including those fashioned from Alpaca and Vicuna, as well silk blends and bamboo. 40 different colors (all sorts of reds, greens and blues),” Ortega said. Alpaca silk shawls cost $100-$160, and Alpaca silk sweaters sell for $160 to $300. Alpaca Collections further

features a line of all-natural Bamboo-fibered clothing and a line of Italian silk blouses, skirts, pants and socks. “Our premium line is called ‘Vicuna,’ which is the finest

natural fiber in the world,” Ortega said. “A Vicuna scarf sells for $1,450, a shawl is $3,000 and a Vicuna cape sells for $5,000.” Peruvian-born Ortega said he began his alpaca clothing business

with a website staffed by four employees working from home in Toledo, Ohio (now his distribution center). He began selling wholesale in 2011. “Before we opened our store in the Village, we noticed that a lot of people from La Jolla were buying our products online,” he said. “So we opened our first store here and since we opened in August, our online sales have increased 300 percent! Having the Southern California store has had a huge impact on our online sales.” Ortega said he would eventually like to open a second store in Carmel, California. “I'm getting a lot of compliments on my La Jolla shop,” he said, proudly. ♦ ■ Alpaca Collections, 1275 Prospect St., La Jolla is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

BY MARTI GACHIOCH Editor’s Note: We published an Orangetheory Business Spotlight in the Dec. 31 issue and were alerted to several errors in the content by its owner/franchisee Billy Borja. Since then, we’ve corrected the misinformation and here present the revised story. We apologize for any confusion! fter 20 years in the fitness training business, Billy Borja is now the owner/franchisee of La Jolla’s Orangetheory Fitness Studio at 7734 Girard Ave. Borja explains that the studio’s intense 60-minute heart rate-monitored training program is designed to help participants create excess oxygen consumption, which helps them build energy that pushes them into the “orange zone,” where calories are burned while the body is toned. To achieve the goal, Orangetheory Fitness uses treadmill interval training, indoor rowing machines and weightroom resistance training blocks. During each class, students switch between the machines. The instructors frequently change the workouts to stimulate the students, and they get results! In the competitive market of fitness training, Borja’s studio stands strong with a membership at 900. “I attribute our studio’s success to our clients discovering that Orangetheory Fitness Training works and is sustainable for them in the long term,” Borja said. “But what makes our studio truly unique is our staff and our clients; members tell us all the

time how coming to Orangetheory Fitness feels like family to them.” In tracing his history in the fitness business, Borja said he opened a martial arts studio in 1995 in what was at the time Personalized Workout, known today as La Jolla Sports Club. He also owned and operated a private, personal training studio in La Jolla from 2007 through 2009, and in 2012, he signed an agreement as a franchise owner with Orangetheory Fitness and opened the first San Diego studio and his second studio in California. Currently there are six Orangetheory Fitness studios in San Diego, with plans to open additional locations throughout the county. “The fact that we are helping people in the community change their lives in a positive way, is what I find most fulfilling about my work,” Borja said. Beginning Jan. 18, Orangetheory Fitness is offering a “Six Week Weight Loss Challenge.” “Members who sign up for the challenge will lose unwanted pounds and any extra weight gained over the holidays,” Borja said. “The top female and male winners will win $500 each and be in the running for our regional grand prize for an additional $500 each.” ♦ ■ Orangetheory Fitness, La Jolla is at 7734 Girard Ave., Suite C.

Planning Associations make great communities happen Join and be part of La Jolla’s future! BY CINDY GREATREX President of La Jolla Community Planning Association

s a La Jollan, you seek ways to make your community more livable. You want to improve traffic issues and manage growth, finding just the right balance of new development. Community planning is the arm of urban design that enables civic leaders, businesses, property owners and residents to play a meaningful role in creating communities that enrich people's lives. The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) has long been recognized by the City of San Diego to make recommendations to its City Council, Planning Commission, city staff and other Cindy Greatrex governmental agencies on land-use matters, specifically concerning the preparation of, adoption of, amendment to, and implementation of the La Jolla Community Plan. Topics of note include community development, traffic, environmental/natural resources, parks and recreation, historic preservation, and community activism/empowerment. LJCPA also

GUEST COMMENTARY advises on other matters as requested by the city or other governmental agency. With the La Jolla residential population forecasted to increase, as a Village we’re all looking for ways to guide that growth into redevelopment opportunities that encourage walkability and connectivity, and promote its unique character. Good planning helps create communities that offer better choices for where and how people live! Planning helps communities find the right balance of redevelopment, essential services, environmental protection and innovation. La Jolla faces a range of challenges including bulk and scale, cluster development, sustainability, consensus building, and urban design. Community planning and implementation is a highly collaborative field, and LJCPA board members, aka trustees, spend their time in public meetings working with others. Monthly meetings, whether with the full planning group or one of the LJCPA’s joint committees and boards, include presentations with engineers, architects, city staff and landscape architects to review the specifics of a plan, as well as comments from neighbors and interested parties. A trustee’s role is to provide the big picture. Specifically, to relate the project to the goals and guidelines of the community plan, assure conformance to city ordinances, and to conduct, where appropriate, design review. In

other words, to achieve a final product that balances the needs of the applicant, the neighbors, and the community. Our community planners help to create a broad vision for our Village. They also research and develop programs, lead public processes, affect social change, perform technical analyses, manage and educate. Planners help the community at large and its various groups identify their goals and form a particular vision. Community planners are also responsible for the implementation or enforcement of many of the strategies, often coordinating the work of many groups of people. It is important to recognize that a plan can take a variety of forms including: policy recommendations, community action plans, comprehensive plans, neighborhood plans, regulatory and incentive strategies, or historic preservation plans. In La Jolla, we are fortunate to have residents managing planning processes. To articulate your vision as a property owner, merchant or resident, attend and participate in a LJCPA meeting. We meet on the first Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. The meetings are always open to the public. You can become a member by attending one meeting and completing an application form; there are no dues! Once a member, you can vote in the March trustee election, and, after attending three meetings in a year, run for a trustee seat. Interested in getting involved? Got questions?

ASHLEY MACKIN

Whale View Point gets new plants for the new year ■ Project uncovers Scripps-era planter/pond BY ASHLEY MACKIN Despite the hazy gray skies this winter, work on the Whale View Point Enhancement Project moves steadily ahead. On Dec. 23, 2015 crews from Black Sage Environmental and Great Ecology were busy excavating the north end of the Wedding Bowl and planting new plants at Coast Boulevard. Adjacent the Wedding Bowl on the north side of the stairs, there is water runoff area that over the years, erosion had all but covered up. In their cleanup efforts, crews

uncovered cobblestone rocks and a planter-like structure likely used by Ellen Browning Scripps, perhaps as a garden or pond. Project organizer Ann Dynes theorized because Ms. Scripps had a garden at her nearby home (now the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego at 700 Prospect St.), perhaps the planter served as a satellite garden to overlook the ocean. Prior to the excavation work, only a small portion of the cement structure was visible. By the end of the day, the entire planter had been uncovered. Next, the committee will re-vegetate the area in a way that would not be affected by erosion. “We plan to watch the runoff from the drain to see where water flows for the next couple of weeks so that we can make

sure to plant where it does not. But that area already looks better with the removal of … the debris,” Dynes said, via e-mail. Additionally, re-vegetation efforts are underway at the Wedding Bowl itself. That morning, 20 large aloe plants were harvested and in subsequent weeks, were stored in Whale View Point project volunteer Bob Evans’ garage until they re-sprout and can be re-planted. They would fill the lower area of the Wedding Bowl wall. The upper area would be filled with plants seeded that day. “The ice plant ringing the wedding lawn was trimmed back and strewn with California Coastal Sage seed mix, which we hope the coming rains will germinate,” she said. As soon as the Wedding Bowl work was complete, crews walked a block to the south end of Whale View Point (the residential

area of Coast Boulevard) to replace some plants on the hillside. With a flag marking each location a plant would go, 62 plants were installed. The flags are still in place to mark where the new plants are, Dynes said, which need adequate water, especially in its first 30 days. As such, Dynes is considering an adopt-a-plant program through which citizens can water the new plants to help them flourish. “I know someone who brings a bottle of water when he walks down there twice a week and pours it on this one plant. It is doing better than any of the others!” she said. “It costs us $150 for each watering by the professionals, so if we could get more private watering, it would be great!” For more information about Whale View Point Project, visit whaleviewpoint.org ♦

San Diego Audubon hires consultants for ReWild Mission Bay Project ■ Firm to develop plans to enhance and restore 170 acres of wetlands FROM SAN DIEGO AUDUBON SOCIETY REPORTS San Diego Audubon Society, an organization dedicated to fostering the protection and appreciation of local birds, wildlife, and their habitats, hired Everest International Consultants as its ReWild Mission Bay project consultant. ReWild Mission Bay aims to restore the wetlands in the northeast corner of Mission Bay along Pacific Beach Drive at the mouth of Rose Creek. “We selected Everest International for the ReWild project because they understand the importance of recreation, public access, and community input in developing restoration plans for the area,” said Rebecca Schwartz, project manager for ReWild Mission Bay. “The Everest team will balance data analysis, alternative plan development, and stakeholder outreach to protect and restore this part of Mission Bay.” The Everest International team, including Nordby Biological, AECOM, and New West Land Company, has experience in estuarine biology and ecology, coastal processes, habitat architecture, and wetlands engineering, which it will use to ensure ReWild develops creative and sustainable restoration alternatives. As the project leader, San Diego Audubon will now work with Everest International to spearhead the second half of a three-year planning process that includes collecting community input and generating plans to restore precious wetlands on this part of Mission Bay. In 2016, Everest International will work with San Diego Audubon and partners, stakeholders, and community members to document existing and historical conditions,

We (eventually) had a merry Christmas

La Jolla Cultural Partners

ill we remember 2015 as the year of holiday crises? The day before Thanksgiving, mere hours before the family was due to arrive, a possum died in the crawl space under my kitchen permeating it with an odor like, well, a dead possum. But for Christmas, we were going to L.A. where in the rarest but happiest of occasions, we would have both sons, their wives, and all five grandtots under the same roof. Life doesn’t get any better than that. Anyone who knows me well knows that ever since we were hit at 85 miles per hour by a drunk driver on I-5 several years back, I regard freeways as dangerous places to be avoided whenever possible. I told myself that if I could just survive two and a half hours (we should be so lucky in L.A. traffic), it would all be worth it. Alas, we didn’t get through two and a half minutes. We had just passed Del Mar Heights Road on I-5 when our left rear tire blew out at 70 miles per hour. Just as with our auto accident, this is a time when you want a former Air Force pilot at the wheel. The quintessentially calm Olof managed to maneuver us across several lanes of fast moving traffic, out of the path of a semi, and off onto the shoulder while I did what I do

best in scary freeway situations: scream. There’s never a good time for a blowout, but especially not on a freeway. Olof’s little BMW was an engineering marvel of packing: every square inch of available trunk and seat space that was not occupied by him, me, or our granddog Winston was precision packed with gifts and luggage. We have AAA, of course, but they could take forever on Christmas Eve. More to the point, in Olof Land, Real Men change tires themselves. Except, of course, that the spare and the jack were under all those suitcases and gifts. Olof patiently unpacked it all onto the side of the freeway, got the tire off, and tried to get the spare on. Unfortunately, the crummy little jacks that come with the spares just couldn’t raise the car high enough to get the spare on, which didn’t keep Olof from spending an hour trying. Real Men don’t give up easily. A couple of things about standing on the side of a freeway when the slowest car is going 70: It is deafeningly loud. Olof and I could only communicate in sign language. I kept tenting my index fingers together in a sign that I hoped was spelling out “AAA?” It is also absolutely terrifying to be so close to cars going that fast. One swerve and they’d

be sucking up our remains with a shop vac. Ultimately, Olof had to concede defeat and had me call AAA, for whom we had to wait another hour. The AAA guy pulled out his honker industrial-strength jack and had the spare on in five minutes. Meanwhile, Olof and I had had plenty of time to ponder whether we were happy about driving to L.A. on tires the same age as the one that blew out. They didn’t LOOK worn but there’s only so many times you can cheat death in one day. Fortunately, there was a barely-still-open Discount Tire Store off the Lomas Santa Fe exit where we quickly ordered up four new tires. A mere three hours after we’d originally departed, we left Del Mar for L.A., Winston now sitting on the food bag (sorry, Christmas Eve salad!), and hitting all that traffic that we’d left early to avoid. But all worth it when we finally limped in. My daughter-in-law puts on the Norman Rockwell Christmas. Their house was decorated like a magazine layout. One amazing meal after another appeared. Both sons together. While some of us stayed in hotels at night, there were 20 people in the house during the day. The grandchildren raced around in a frenzy of sugar-and-Santa-fueled psychosis. The L.A. kids were thrilled to reconnect with Winston and their cousins. Just to make this a Christmas Eve to remember, our credit card company’s fraud division called us asking if we had just purchased $3,000 worth of stuff at a Wal-Mart in Levittown, Pennsylvania. Fortunately, it won’t be our money. Just a giant hassle. On the plus side, Winston, who for

INGA

I-5, Christmas Eve, en route to L.A. mysterious reasons has become allergic to something in his former home and had begun having seizures whenever he visited there, fortunately didn’t have any this time. This might have been less a Christmas miracle and more the phenobarbital our La Jolla vet loaded him up on before we left. OK, so he looked pretty stoned most of the time. But I’m thinking that the next time we get on the freeway, I might appropriate some of that phenobarbital myself. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light.

Collagen-producing foods – Part 1

e’re ringing in a new year, which means fresh starts, resolutions, and growing a year older. I’m on a quest to find the fountain of youth without being prodded, poked, slashed or injected. Collagen seems to be the key to plumping up fine lines and wrinkles, and maintaining elasticity, smooth, firm skin and well-defined facial features. As we age, we manufacture less precious collagen (a structural protein found in connective tissue in skin’s second dermis layer), that’s bombarded and destroyed by enzymes, bad habits and environmental hazards. But take heart, certain foods will boost collagen production for a natural, more youthful appearance. Welcome to my kitchen in Shangri-La.

■ The ABCs of Collagen Repair

Vitamin C, an immune boosting, antioxidant warrior found in citrus fruits, guavas, papayas, sweet red bell peppers, strawberries, kiwis, tomatoes, and dark leafy greens is a collagen factory used by the body to produce the anti-aging protein. Since Vitamin C is heat sensitive, best to eat these foods raw to retain the most benefits. Two other key nutrients for the manufacture of collagen are B-complex

■ Open Sesame

vitamins and Vitamin E. For the former, dial up your crucifers, legumes and fortified cereals, while for the latter sprinkle nuts (especially almonds and walnuts), seeds and wheat germ on hot cereals, salads, stir-fries or eat them as a snack in hand.

Sesame seeds (along with lentils, seafood and whole grains) are rife with the amino acid L-Arginine for healthy protein and collagen formation. Sprinkle some raw or toasted sesame seeds on cereals, salads or stir fries, spread tahini (sesame paste) or hummus on whole wheat flat breads or toast, or enjoy a chunk of halvah, a dense Middle Eastern confection made from sesame seeds, honey and nuts for ratcheting up collagen.

■ Magical Minerals

■ Use Your Bean

Along with the supply of vitamins, add a store of essential minerals to your diet to perk up sluggish collagen production. Manganese is a multi-tasking mineral that also helps heal wounds. Vegetarian treasures from the sea from nori and kelp to arame and red ogo seaweed, along with whole grains, pineapple and pecans are good sources of manganese. Copper, an important trace mineral found in dried fruits, including prunes, apricots, figs and raisins, in addition to nuts and seeds partners with Vitamin C for amping up collagen supplies.

■ Plenty of Fish to Fry

Indulge in omega-3 fatty acid powerhouses, especially wild-caught, deep sea, cold-water ones like salmon, herring, sardines and mackerel. Fish keeps skin well-lubricated and vibrant by strengthening the dermis layer and plumping up shriveling

Three Bean Veggie Chili

The little ditty about beans being a “magical fruit” can easily be attributed to their anti-aging properties. They help your body manufacture hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar-based complex in the connective tissue structure of the skin that partners with collagen and elastin to keep cells moist, dewy and glowing. So bean up with red kidneys, white cannellinis, favas, mungs, great northerns, limas, aduki, butter and black beans. Happy New Year!

Three Bean Fountain of Youth Veggie Chili Ingredients • 1 can of red kidney beans (drained) • 1 can of cannellini beans (drained) • 1 can of black beans (drained) • 1 sweet red pepper, diced

• 1/2 medium red onion, diced • 1/2 cup of broccoli florets • 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil • 2 garlic cloves, diced • 2 tablespoons of chili powder • 1 teaspoon of cumin • 1 teaspoon of oregano • 1 large can or jar (28-ounce) of pureed tomatoes • 2 ounces of bittersweet chocolate Method: In a large skillet, heat oil on medium and sauté broccoli, peppers, garlic and onions until tender. Add cumin, chili powder, oregano and chocolate, stirring until melted. Add tomatoes and beans, and continue to cook on low heat, partially covering the skillet until the chili thickens, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne, and garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro. Serve with corn or flour tortillas. — For additional collagen-enhancing recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or check out Part 2 next week in the Jan. 14 La Jolla Light. ♦

“

A Texas landscape watercolor by Max Needham, available by donation FROM BIKE RIDE, B1 80 percent of dementia cases. He started off by researching Alzheimer’s organizations and found the Boston-based Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. He said 100 percent of all money raised for the fund goes directly to research. To date, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has produced $34 million for research. According to it website, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund initiatives have been responsible for several key breakthroughs — including a potential treatment recently selected by the National Institutes of Health for its elite “Blueprint” drug discovery program, and the ground-breaking “Alzheimer's in a Dish” study, which promises to greatly accelerate drug testing, heralded by The New York Times. To raise money and awareness for the organization, Needham and his college roommate decided to embark on a cross-country bike ride they hoped would have the same effect as a road trip, but be a richer experience. “I’ve been on a lot of road trips, and I always found it frustrating how quickly we would go through places. I wanted to see more of the country, more slowly, and not from a car window,” Needham said. “But I didn’t have a ton of experience with long-distance bike riding. I’ve never ridden more than 20-30 miles in one day. My roommate talked me into it.” However, the roommate backed out at the last minute. Still motivated, Needham set out on his bike alone. “My brother goes to school in Atlanta, so I wanted to start there,” he said, and departed Nov. 1. His mother, Jeannie Needham of Mission Hills, said that hearing that her son would be embarking on such a large undertaking on his own was worrisome. “I know people that have cycled like this, but they aren’t totally alone. So for him to do what he did took guts,” she said. “I think it was way more than I could have done at his age or any age!” To document the scenic country in all its glory, Needham would occasionally stop to take a photo or paint a watercolor when inspiration struck. To further raise research

money, he will be accepting donations for his watercolor paintings. “Those who donate can write in their address and the state they want a watercolor from, and then I'll either send them one I’ve already painted or paint them a new one!” he said. “I have a lot of pictures (from which I could paint). The state options would be Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.” As a forum for donations, Needham set up a GoFundMe page, with all gifts going to the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. He noted on his page: “While I do not personally have the resources to do this now, on my word, I will match the total amount donated during my time as a resident physician.” His page has already surpassed $2,000. His watercolors are also available on his GoFundMe page by donation. “I’ve seen a lot of cool things on this trip, but mostly I’ve seen so much kindness from people,” he said. “When I came down a mountain range, people would stop to offer me water and make sure I was OK.” He also said while in San Elizario, Texas, he met the mayor and found out she used to be a bartender at La Valencia Hotel! “Some random, cool, weird things happened on my trip,” he said. As a last hurrah to close the trip, he decided to surprise his parents. “On Christmas Eve I snuck into my parents’ backyard after they were asleep and camped in my tent. I had told them a few days before that I had needed to order a replacement part in Arizona, and so they thought I was still there and would miss Christmas,” he said. But on Christmas morning, they went outside to investigate the mysterious tent that had popped up, and found Needham. “The look on their faces was amazing!” he said. He set out the next day to finish the journey, and rode his bike onto the beach that afternoon. His first stop post-odyssey was Don Carlos Taco Shop on Pearl Street, where he was met with friends, many of whom were also La Jolla grads. ♦ ■ For more information or to donate, visit gofundme.com/df5d3dxp

FROM J*COMPANY, B1 In either age group, J* Company students, with help from volunteer parents, do everything from building sets to choreography, and the older-student productions also feature a live orchestra. Everyone works together. “I tell them ‘you’re a troupe,’ ” said Landwehr, who acted and directed in New York City before coming to San Diego in 2003. Prior to taking the artistic helm of J* Company, he worked for the San Diego Performing Arts League. “I talk about ensemble, which has this bad reputation. I tell them it’s a French word that means ‘as one.’ That’s what we’re doing.” From this concept sprung Landwehr’s FWAPERS concept. “At the end of each production,” he explained, “the cast votes on who best achieved these goals.” A student receives a FWAPERS award, and his or her photograph is displayed on a wall of honor in the green room adjacent to the 500-seat auditorium on the JCC’s Jacobs Family Campus. Landwehr’s cluttered desk is watched over by framed posters of the 57 shows produced since he arrived at J* Company. (The first was “Rumpelstiltskin is My Name.”) Over the years the company has staged not only light family fare such as “Mary Poppins” (the last production of 2015), but more adult-oriented musicals like “West Side Story” and even “Rent.” “One of my goals is to expose these young people to every kind of musical theater I could possibly imagine,” said Landwehr, whose Broadway associations include everyone from Joel Grey to Harvey Fierstein.

The ‘Seussical Jr.’ cast gets into the show’s groove during a recent rehearsal. “I bring an educational component to every show. I make the kids do some research. They come out of it with a new sense of the musical. It’s important to teach them the history. It’s my mission to immerse

them in theater.” This immersion begins at the start of each rehearsal, when Landwehr sings to his company some song from a Broadway musical. If they hadn’t heard of the songs, or the show, at the time, they are quickly educated by a man who knows of what he speaks. “I’m not only creating future artists; I’m creating future audiences.” Besides the education and the fun, J* Company students build friendships and collaborative ties. “In theater, you become

Artistic Triumphs!

Salk concerts to link science, music masters BY WILL BOWEN An innovative four-concert series that merges the latest medical science research with jazz and classical music performed by world-class musicians, returns this month to the Conrad Prebys Hall at the Salk Institute, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road. The series, in keeping with Jonas Salk’s vision of the Salk Institute as a place where the arts and sciences would unfold hand in hand, began when Conrad Prebys gifted the Salk with a Steinway Grand Piano No. 191, which he purchased from Greene Music. Then-Salk Institute president William Brody decided that this grand piano, which was further refurbished by the Institute, just had to be played. He hired classical pianist Karen Joy Davis (who has won numerous competitions, including the Bartok, Baldwin, InterAmerican, and National Society of Arts & Letters) to put together an ongoing series of musical events around the Steinway. What makes this series so special is the attempt to fire up both hemispheres of patrons’ minds. Series listeners get to hear 45 minutes of breathtaking music to wake up their right brains, then after a break, hear a 15-minute research update by a Salk medical scientist to stimulate their left brains, and then sit back for 45 more minutes of whole

brain music appreciation. Davis, who will perform as part of a piano duet for the series season finale, said she’s excited about her role as director: “My passion is sharing music — whether through teaching, promoting or performing — and my vision is to bring high-caliber musicians to San Diego, who will merge with Salk scientists to create novel and stimulating events for the public.” Davis said she grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, and settled in San Diego after performing here several times. She is the daughter of a building developer and a Julliard-trained opera singer, and she started playing the piano at age 4. She performed her first professional concert at age 12. Eventually, she ended up following in her mother’s footsteps by enrolling at Julliard. ■ The monthly concerts take place, 3:30-6 p.m. Sunday afternoons, beginning Jan. 24 with the Victor Goines Jazz Quartet. Goines, who plays saxophone and clarinet, is considered a legend. His work has been described as possessing “lyrical grace and technical bravura.” Davis said, “he’s is one of the best jazz players on the planet. He is the guy who started the jazz program at SEE SALK CONCERTS, B19

Yakov Smirnoff brings new one-man show to Escondido

BY EMILY SORENSON Fans of comedian Yakov Smirnoff can experience his new show “Happily Ever Laughter,” 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 9 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The show will be filmed for a Southern California PBS television special, which will air at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 5. Described as equal parts standup, one-man show, motivational speech and TED talk, “Happily Ever Laughter,” is a project Smirnoff has been working on at his theater in Branson, Missouri. “This is something I’ve been passionate about for the last 20 years,” Smirnoff said. “It’s been testing in front of 4.5 million people.” Smirnoff has had his own theater in Branson for 23 years, and said it’s nice to have an audience of 2,000 people who can give his material feedback on a regular basis. “It’s a rare thing for a comedian to have that; it’s like my laboratory of laughter,” Smirnoff said. “Edison developed the light bulb; I’m developing the laugh bulb.” “Happily Ever Laughter” talks about sustaining happiness in relationships. It is a result of Smirnoff’s fascination with laughter as a gauge of how happy a person is — something he has studied for years.

Yakov Smirnoff

CHARLOTTE NOBLE

Smirnoff said he had been fascinated with laughter ever since the first time he made his parents laugh. Living in a communal apartment with eight other families in Russia as a child, Smirnoff said that when his parents wanted to be romantic, they would send him to look out the window of the one room they shared. “My father asked what I saw out the window, and I said I saw the neighbors being romantic,” Smirnoff said. “When he asked how I knew (they were being romantic), I said because I can see their families looking at me.”

Smirnoff said his father laughed at that, and it was the first time he’d made him laugh. “It was so exciting and uplifting,” Smirnoff said. “I concluded that laughter is how people communicate that they are happy. And if laughter is the gauge of happiness, we have more control over our lives (if we are aware of how much we laugh).” He obtained his master’s degree in positive psychology in 2006, studying under Martin Seligman, the founding father of positive psychology. Smirnoff’s dissertation was to prove that laughter can be used as a gauge of how happy a person is. “It’s really been a fascinating experience,” said Smirnoff, who teaches a course on happiness and laughter at the University of Missouri. “ ‘Happily Ever Laughter’ is funny, but it’s also backed up by solid research.” The show will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Smirnoff. ♦

The ‘Gloria’ at La Jolla Presbyterian was glorious! LET’S REVIEW BY CYNTHIA SOLTERO ongratulations to La Jolla Presbyterian Church for offering the community a glorious performance at its annual Christmas program “Gloria.” Two concerts were presented Dec. 13 — at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. — and I attended the early afternoon concert and had a lovely time captivated by the magnificent music, stellar soloist and brilliant chancel choir, led by Maestro Keith Pederson, a highly skilled and passionate music director. The choir contained 64 people with a symphony orchestra half the size — the perfect voice-to-music ratio to complement this exceptional choir. The prelude began with the handbell choir processing down the aisles with flawless, joyful bell-ringing perfection. This was a fresh and beautiful way to begin the annual Christmas program. Maestro Keith was an articulate presenter, providing an interesting backstory to the master miniwork “Gloria” by Francis Poulenc. He called it “the original praise chorus,” as it is filled with joy, laughter and awe of life experiences; at times the music was joyful and at other times, hauntingly beautiful. The soloist for the “Gloria” was Cherylyn Larson, a lyric soprano with an exquisite voice of great clarity and richness. She is a member of the San Diego Opera and a section leader in its choir. As Larson sang, she took me on a musical journey, sometimes dark and mystical and other times light and hopeful. For a time, the music put me in a dream-like state. Mezzo-soprano Mary Boles sang “O Holy Night” with the choir and symphony, and it, too, was well performed. The quartet was delightful with the four soloists possessing superb full-toned voices. I was inspired and thrilled with all the music this evening! The second half of the program contained many moving scripture readings and more wonderful music. The concert wound down with the children's choir sweetly singing “Peace on Earth,” and afterward, the choir

and orchestra performed “Silent Night” and invited the congregation to sing along. I felt completely filled with the Christmas Spirit. As if I needed anything else, they closed with Handel's “Hallelujah Chorus.” Wow! For those who love tradition and Old World charm, this church is the place to be. It has eight, large, stunning stained glass windows on either side of the pews. In the front of the church, a magnificent pipe organ fills the room with a full and grand heavenly sound. A beautiful 6-foot-tall cross sits in the center of the sanctuary with a spectacular rose window high above the cross, a kaleidoscope bursting with color. This was the first of five community concerts coming up in the New Year. Based up on what I heard and saw Dec. 13, I whole-heartedly recommend attending the future church concerts. ♦ — Editor’s Note: The next church community concert will feature Hornswoggle in “A Night at the Movies,” 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 21 at 7715 Draper Ave. Hornswoggle is “a convivial group of horn players of all ages that perform French Horn ensemble music.” (858) 454-0713. ljpres.org

The ‘Gloria’ quartet singers include Robert Larson, Cherylyn Larson, Mary Boles Allen and Vincent Martin.

Parmas is a fast-rising star and 2012 winner of the Young Artist International Competition. She is said to create “a velvety sound with articulate passagework and keen imagination” on her instrument — a 1712 Grancino cello. The program will include: “Sonata for Cello & Piano, Op.6” by Samuel Barber; “Suite for Solo Cello” by Gaspar Cassado; “Quartet from the End of Time” by Oliver Messiaen; and “Sonata No. 1 in E minor, op.38” by Brahms. The scientific talk will be given by Beverly Emerson, a Salk professor in the Regulatory Biology Lab. Emerson will discuss genes p53 and p16, which stop cancers from growing in the human body. ■ March 20, vocalist Julia Bullock will perform songs accompanied by Julliard grad Renate Rohlfing on piano. Bullock is another Young Artist International winner. Her voice has been described as “elegant, richly hued, and ravishingly visceral.” The program will include “She is Asleep” by John Cage; “Metamorphoses” by Francis Poulenc; “Six Chanson de Pierre Revel” by Pierre Revel; and

“Cinq Melodies Populaires Gecques” by Maurice Ravel; plus a songs by Nystroem, Stenhammer, Greig, Cowell, Barber, Mann and Kurt Weill. The scientific talk will be given by Geoffrey Wahl, a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory, who will discuss the new technologies that disrupt the growth of cancer. ■ April 24, the season finale, Sean Chen and Davis play piano duets. Chen, educated at Julliard and Yale, recently came in third in the Van Cliburn piano competition — the first time an American placed in the top three in almost 20 years! Chen is said to be able to “combine poetic expression with dazzling technical prowess.” The program will include: “Sonata for Two Pianos in D, K.448” by Mozart; “Variations on a Theme by Hayden” by Brahms; “Paganini Variations” by Witold Lutoslawski; “Rondo in A Major, D.951” by Schubert; and “Suite No.2 Op.17” by Rachmaninov, and end with the duet’s arrangement of “Stars and Stripes Forever.” The evening’s scientific paper will be given by Julia Law, a professor in the Plant Molecular & Cell Biology Laboratory who’s been studying how epigenetic modifications in the flowering plant Arabidiposis thaliana are finalized into stable structures. Law will relate her research to crop improvement and improvements in medical therapies for humans. ♦ ■ IF YOU GO: For tickets and more details, call (858) 453-4100, ext. 2058, visit music.salk.edu or send an e-mail to music@salk.edu

Building 101: The Work Begins Building a home is an endeavor that involves many people, phases and decisions. No matter what size your project is, once your team is in place and the planning phase has been completed, the work begins. The work phase begins with an on-site pre-construction meeting to take one last look at the site and to coordinate the project. Here all team members and subcontractors meet to review the timeline and answer any outstanding questions or concerns. This on-site pre-construction meeting is also a great time to take photographs of the area that is being worked on and to organize your document ﬁles. Whether you

are a paper person or a techie, a good catalog of images and a well organized filing system will serve you well throughout the project. At GDC Construction, we track the work phase with project management software and communicate with our clients with weekly agendas, schedule of values, and a calendar, which tracks all activity and financial distributions. This method is used to sync all team members and provide a realtime analysis throughout the project. Typically, the next step of the work phase is Demolition. This dismantling is also the discovery phase, as it exposes unforeseen primary conditions. Opening walls, floors or tearing down large portions of the structure tends to expose conditions not otherwise visible, which can impact your budget and add unexpected costs. Before the project continues as planned, issues such as structural damage from water exposure, dry rot, or mold are addressed during this stage. At GDC Construction, our experienced estimators account for these unforeseen conditions in our initial cost

assessments to minimize changes in the scope of work and to maintain the integrity of the budget. This is key but not foolproof. No matter what the scope of the project, once all has been exposed and cleaned up, the next step is to lay or reinforce the foundation. Whether you are building a new home or remodeling an existing structure, a concrete foundation and support footings are often part of the process to establish a solid ground for your home. In La Jolla and other areas of San Diego, there are many properties that need deep footings called caissons. Often drilled 20-30 ft deep to anchor to solid ground, these concrete pylons are designed to support homes built on unsure ground and steep slopes. Once the foundation is complete, the framing stage begins. This is an exciting phase because this is when you can see your house begin to take shape. Here a wood or steel skeletal framework is built to deﬁne the structure and support the electrical components, plumbing, HVAC, AV, insulation and utilities. Clearly it is

imperative that the inner workings, or guts, of the structure be installed correctly. In San Diego, building plans are permitted by the city and an inspector is required to come out and approve each phase of the work, as deﬁned on the plans and preapproved by the city. Once each category of building has been cleared by the city, the next phase of the build can commence. Once the framing and guts are in place, closing or buttoning up the interior framework follows. The roof, siding, windows and doors are part of the structural development on a project. This phase is when the framing is covered, weatherproofed, and all walls and ceilings take shape. Sheetrock is used as the primary interior surfacing material, while stucco, wood and stone siding are some exterior options.

Expert shares tips for improving leadership skills FROM PR REPORTS abits can be a trap for people in leadership positions – whether they are in business, politics or another field. As a leader, one should provide a compelling vision that inspires those around them. Instead, many lapse into automatic and mindless thinking — and that can affect every decision they make and the actions of the people who report to them. “Too often, we don’t come up with imaginative solutions because we let ourselves be ruled by routine and by preconceived notions,” said Rob-Jan de Jong, a behavioral strategist and author of “Anticipate: The Art of Leading By Looking Ahead” (robjandejong.com). “We think we know ahead of time what will and won’t work, which makes us quick to dismiss ideas that sound too ‘out there.’ The people who answer to you learn the lesson that creative thinking is frowned upon, even if that’s not the lesson you wanted to teach.” Simply making a New Year’s resolution to have a more open mind in 2016 likely won’t be enough to turn things around. But de Jong says there are behaviors and practices that, through repetition and perseverance, can help leaders and anyone else develop a mindset that’s open to imaginative and better ideas.

1. Formulate powerful questions. Generating ideas starts with asking the right questions and the best questions are thought-provoking. They challenge underlying assumptions and invite creativity. “They also give us energy, making us aware of the fact there is something to explore that we hadn’t fully grasped before,” de Jong said. Train yourself to catch poorly designed questions, asked by you or someone else, and reformulate them. Questions that begin with “why,” “what” and “how” are best because they require more thoughtful responses than those that begin with “who,” “when,” “where” and “which.” Especially avoid questions that can be answered with a “yes” or “no.” 2. Expand your sphere of influence. “We are strongly influenced, for better or worse, by the small group of people we have direct contact with,” de Jong said. “Since we tend to hang out with people who are fairly similar to ourselves, chances are we are limiting our perspectives.” He recommends making a deliberate effort to encounter people and ideas that are “profoundly different from

the usual suspects you hang out with.” Visit a conference of a different profession, hang out with skaters, join an arts club or buy a magazine randomly off the shelf. 3. Break your patterns. You can increase chances of seeing things differently if you deliberately break normal pattern of working, communicating, thinking, reacting and responding. Take a different route to work. Change where you sit in meetings. If you are normally the first to volunteer, hold back. 4. Learn to listen. “We’ve all been taught the importance of being good listeners,” he said. “The problem is most of us struggle to actually do it.” Often when people are “listening,” they really are

waiting for the first opportunity to share their story, their opinion or their experience. De Jong suggests training yourself to engage in three pure listening conversations a week. They don’t need to be longer than 15-20 minutes, they can be formal or informal, and the other person doesn’t need to know what you’re doing. Vow that you won’t try to take over the conversation no matter how much you want to. “Just keep asking questions and don’t dismiss anything the other person says,” he said. After the conversation, reflect on what you learned. Don’t dismiss any ideas or views that don’t align with yours. Dare to challenge your own assumptions and reframe your beliefs if need be. ♦

respectively). It is also more in line with current vacancy rates in high-demand metropolitan markets around the country. “The latest numbers suggest the slight rise in the vacancy rate that we saw earlier this year was caused by temporary factors, not a fundamental change,” said SDCAA executive director Alan Pentico. “Despite a fair amount of new multi-family construction, we’re still experiencing the effects of a severe deficit of housing units in the San Diego region.” Population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the region grew by 159,000 people between 2010 and 2014, but the region added only 22,000 new housing units during that time. The bureau estimates the average household size in the region at 2.83

FROM SDCAA REPORTS he vacancy rate for residential rental units across San Diego County stands at 2.6 percent, a significant drop from the 4.1 percent vacancy rate in spring of this year, according to the San Diego County Apartment Association’s (SDCAA) Fall 2015 Vacancy and Rental Rate Survey. The current vacancy rate is much closer to the rates reported in the spring and fall of 2014 (2.7 percent and 2.3 percent,

persons per home. Thus, nearly 15,000 units would need to be added each year to keep pace with demand. In the city of San Diego, the vacancy rate is 2.8 percent. In the rest of the county, the rate is 2.5 percent. East County and North County have the lowest vacancy rates, at 2.4 percent each, while the South Bay has a rate of 2.5 percent. Among specific unit types, one-bedroom units have the highest vacancy rate, at 3 percent. Units with three or more bedrooms have the lowest vacancy rate, at 2.2 percent. The rate in studio units is 2.7 percent, while the rate in two-bedroom units is 2.5 percent. SDCAA’s survey also found the weighted average rent is $1,046 for studio units; $1,327

for one-bedroom units; $1,634 for two-bedroom units; and $1,887 for units with three or more bedrooms. Among all unit types, rent for studio units increased the most, by about 7 percent. Rents for one- and two-bedroom units increased slightly, 2 and 1.5 percent respectively. Rent for units with three or more bedrooms decreased, just under 3 percent. Due to inconsistencies in the number of survey responses by ZIP code, it is difficult to ascertain a clear picture of the overall change in rent by region. For those interested in this information, SDCAA’s analysts suggest examining rents reported in individual ZIP codes and further analyzing changes through additional research. ♦
