City, construction workers blamed for safety issues on Hillside Drive

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Hillside Drive is a one-mile-long, narrow, winding street that runs from Torrey Pines Road to Via Siena, where it connects with Via Capri. Residents’ complaints to the City about the state of disrepair and constant construction underway in the area (which have been piling up for several months), are now met

with what they perceive is the extended disregard by construction workers of parking laws in the area. “While those projects are going on, you have a dozen pickup trucks parked on a street that’s 18 feet wide in some areas,” said resident and retired contractor Chris Day. “They ignore No Parking signs, park on the wrong side of the street, park against walls, on blind turns — it’s completely irresponsible.” Added neighbor Mike Furby, “It really jeopardies public safety.” But what motivated them to start writing letters to La Jolla Light, was the lack of response from the City. “I have brought this up with the Police

Department, they don’t care. The Fire Department, they don’t care. Development Services, they don’t care,” Day related. At the request of the Light, City public information officer for the Development Services Department, Paul Brencick, clarified in an e-mail, “The City’s Development Services Department does not have the authority to enforce No Parking violations. As such, if anyone is parking illegally on Hillside Drive, this becomes a parking enforcement issue and residents with complaints about the situation should notify the City’s Parking Enforcement SEE ILLEGAL PARKING, A6

with concerns over illegal parking on the public right-of-way. An undetermined amount of single-family residences along Hillside Drive are under construction (at least two according to the City’s calculations, with three more requesting permits, and up to 11 in some neighbors’ opinions). Plus, the “Tyrian St. & Soledad Ave. AC Water Main” project is installing and replacing water and sewer mains in the area. Hillside Drive is also a fire and emergency lane for large safety vehicles. As a consequence, significant segments of the road are “No Parking” zones. Neighbors have taken issue

Acting LJCPA president Helen Boyden said the unique challenges facing the current board ‘have never happened before.’

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) is facing a crisis in leadership that some are calling “the most serious problem” the board has faced in over a decade. At the June 1 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, acting chair Helen Boyden explained the unique challenges that “have never happened before” on the board: As of the next meeting, LJCPA is without a willing president, first vice-president or second vice-president. Recently re-elected president Cindy Greatrex has missed three meetings in a row due to a death in her family. During the board’s May meeting, during which Greatrex was not in

attendance (for the second month in a row), she was re-elected president. However, she was also not in attendance at the June meeting. Thus, according to the group’s bylaws, she had to abdicate her seat as LJCPA president and as a trustee. Boyden, acting as chair in Greatrex’s absence, announced at the June meeting that she would not be able to continue in her assumed role. “My abilities as first vice-president are, for very personal reasons, very limited. My home responsibilities are changing very much and I will not be available for meetings. I didn’t expect this change,” she said. Coincidentally, second-vice president Robert Steck also has SEE LEADERSHIP, A8

Panhandling not illegal, police say But ‘aggressive panhandling’ grounds for a ticket, as La Jollans wonder about median encampments TARNISHING OUR JEWEL

L

ast week, La Jolla Light received the following letter asking about the legality of panhandling in San Diego: “In recent weeks, I have seen three instances where panhandlers on the medians on Torrey Pines Road or La Jolla Shores Drive have fallen, stumbled or miss stepped into the street and oncoming traffic. At both locations, there are two lanes of cars/trucks turning left. At La Jolla Shores Drive, drivers making the tight turn are additionally watchful for vehicles turning in or coming out of the gas station. This is dangerous for both parties and nearby vehicles. I ask the La Jolla Light to please provide the following information or at least where concerned drivers can find the information in an effort to be safe drivers: • What are the legal rights of panhandlers? • What liability exposure do drivers have if a person places themselves in front of an oncoming, traveling vehicle? • What are the legal rights of the drivers not to have their vision impaired or distracted by persons using the safety medians for unlawful purposes?” As promised, we reached out to San Diego Police Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser for some answers. He responded that it is not illegal to panhandle in the City of San Diego by holding up a sign asking for

money. However, if the panhandler got “aggressive,” by yelling at someone or pounding on a car window (aka “panhassling”), that is illegal. It is also illegal to interfere with traffic. Should aggressive panhandling occur, the victim would need to file a police complaint. If a police officer witnesses the violation, the officer could issue a ticket. As to what would happen if a panhandler entered into traffic and was hit by a motorist, Hesselgesser said, “If he or she stumbled or fell into traffic and was hit in an unavoidable situation, the driver of the vehicle would not be at fault.” In a story on panhandling by the Los Angeles Times, it was reported: “Like other California cities, San Diego also has to contend with a 1991 federal court ruling that struck down the state’s century-old anti-panhandling law as an infringement of freedom of speech.” — Ashley Mackin Solomon ■ Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads for Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators.

Murals of La Jolla

New ‘arresting’ and ‘psychedelic’ piece goes up on Girard Avenue

The recently installed mural ‘Man, Myth & Magic’ by Steven Hull, sits at 7509 Girard Ave.

LYNDA FORSHA

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON For Steven Hull, the artist behind the newest installment in the Murals of La Jolla public art program, creating a mural is a huge step out of the ordinary. Typically a sculpture, painting and installation artist, Hull is based in Los Angeles and produces abstract and sometimes controversial works. The mural, named “Man, Myth & Magic” went up at 7509 Girard Ave., above Quality Cleaners and replaces Catherine Opie’s “The Shores.” “I’ve never done a mural and am a little nervous about it, to be honest,” he said. “But I thought it would be good to try new things. We needed to find something that would interest people without offending them and reproduce well. The actual drawing is 5 by 7 inches, so my hope is that it has the same charm when it is billboard-sized as when you are holding it.” The piece selected by the Murals of La Jolla Art Committee is a vibrant illustration of humanoid figures emerging from a landscape. Committee member and Director/CEO of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Kathryn Kanjo, opined, “Murals of La Jolla continues the tradition of inviting notable contemporary artists to create dynamic compositions for The Village. Steven Hull’s arresting image — a surreal landscape — combines painterly qualities and graphic strength. The piece’s psychedelic hues and dreamlike imagery are a counterpoint to the photographic and text-based approach of several other murals.” Hull added, “We went through a lot of images when they asked me to do the mural. At the time, I was making a lot of work that wouldn’t be suitable for a public art project, but I still wanted something that was worth talking about and worth thinking about.” His more controversial pieces, typically shown in art SEE MURAL, A19

FROM ILLEGAL PARKING, A1 Department. Residents should report illegal parking by calling (619) 531-2000.” Brencick said contractors are advised to avoid parking in No Parking zones and to keep street access open for neighbors at all times. Similarly, City public works communications officer Alec Phillipp wrote, “Contractors are advised to park within the construction zone to minimize the footprint of the project. If they park outside the project in No Parking zones, they do so at their own risk of being ticketed.” The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) also directed neighbors to the Non-Emergency Line (619) 531-2000. “The public may also visit any area patrol substation and inform the front counter officer of the problem area in order to request extra patrol/enforcement,” said SDPD media agent Mark Herring. “Both police officers and parking enforcement officers jointly share the responsibility of enforcing parking laws throughout the City. I can only speak for SDPD’s responsibility, but I do know that as a department, we focus our enforcement based on the concerns and complaints from the community.” But residents don’t agree. Anne Gilchrist said, “I’ve called numerous times for patrols and have never seen evidence of them coming.” Added Furby, “There’s no enforcement. You can post all the No Parking signs in the world, but if there’s no enforcement it’s an exercise in futility.”

the mountain roads could be dangerous.” Asked about construction staging in public-contracted works, Phillipp wrote, “When a staging area is required, the (City) engineer works with the contractor to identify an area near the project that poses a minimal impact.” In the City’s bidding documents for the Tyrian St. & Soledad Ave. and AC Water Main project there is no mention of construction staging, but it’s stated that the contractor must have traffic plans

Trucks park against hedges, and on the opposite, ‘No Parking’ side, a truck delivers portable toilets, leaving a narrow space for two-way traffic on Hillside Drive. City doesn’t even recognize it’s a problem!” The company awarded the water and sewer project, PK Mechanical Systems, Inc., didn’t respond to the Light’s requests for information on their construction staging and traffic control procedures. Furby pointed out there are “better” ways to stage construction. “For one, have very professional adequate traffic control, meaning, if I was required to leave equipment out on the street, it would be lit and identified with barricades or delineators with reflective tape on them; I’d

limit the amount of equipment parked on the public right of way; and I’d have certified flagmen, people on the street who know what they’re doing, they communicate with radio and they manage traffic,” he explained, adding that another “good practice” is shuttling workers in to areas where parking is limited.

Truck traffic

In October 2016, a truck run over resident Maureen Dulbecco’s driveway on Hillside Drive, causing property damages in the

thousands of dollars. “There was a fence destroyed, all the bushes were smashed and a black pine tree that had been there for 35 years was uprooted,” she told the Light. Dulbecco explained that she lives on a sharp turn, and when big trucks can’t make it, they drive over her property. After the incident, she asked construction sites up and down the street if they had had any deliveries, but they all said no. “Part of the problem is that drivers may come in from somewhere else in La Jolla,” she said. Hillside Drive is a street where

tractor-semis over 25 feet (Kingpin to rear axle) are “not advised.” Signs indicating the regulations to truckers are posted at the Torrey Pines and Via Capri intersections, but according to Dulbecco, “There’s no warning sign at the corner of Soledad and Hillside Drive, and they may be using GPS systems that show them this route.” During rush hour, resident Day indicated, many motorists choose to drive on Hillside Drive, “trying to get around the blockup on Torrey Pines (Road). The challenge is that the street was never built for that.”

FROM LEADERSHIP, A1 an evolving health situation at home to address. “It also makes my time very limited,” he said. Boyden told the board, “This will be a very difficult transition … but we are going to discuss with City personnel our options for a special election or other election process.” LJCPA treasurer Janie Emerson suggested the remaining appointed officers work together to divvy up the duties so “nothing falls through the cracks. In July we can put together a cohesive plan,” she said. In addition to the presidential succession, the secretary position has been in flux — and under criticism — for the last several months. Rather than having a secretary who consistently records the meeting minutes, Patrick Ahern served as corresponding secretary and there’s been a system of rotating minute-takers. At the end of each meeting, names were drawn to appoint the next month’s recording secretary. At the May election, Dolores Donovan was elected as secretary, with the caveat that the rotation system of minute-taking continues. Member-at-large Gail Forbes critiqued the way the board has handled its leadership. “So far, your secretary has not been required to take minutes … You don’t have a president, you don’t have a secretary that wants to take minutes, and both the vice-presidents are hampered,” she said. LJCPA trustee Dan Courtney echoed: “We’re having problems here. This is probably the most serious problem the LJCPA has had in 10 or 15 years. No one wants to do the grunt work (of

minute-taking), which is understandable ... It is not fair to the groups and projects that are presented here. I don’t know what the solution is, but one way or another, we need to get back on track. Maybe more people need to step up and serve, or maybe some of the older trustees need to step down and let new trustees, who have time for these duties, step up. Maybe we need to recruit new trustees.”

To qualify: An individual must at least 18 years old and affiliated with the community as a: 1) Property owner, who is an individual identified as the sole or partial owner of record … within the La Jolla Community Plan boundaries, or 2) Resident, who is an individual whose primary address of residence is an address within the La Jolla Community Plan boundaries, or 3) Local businessperson.

of residents turning up at planning board meetings. More recently, there has been difficulty recruiting new members to the Carmel Valley board, to the point that the number of board seats has been reduced. Part of the ongoing challenges to attracting new members, LaCava opined, include the lack of immediate gratification and the heated arguments that take place. “People like to see things happen because of their volunteer efforts. But community planning groups are not like that. You review a project and may not see it get built for two or three years,” he said. “There also has to be a little bit of civility at the meetings. It is an eye-opener when you sit in the back, watch people fight and hear people say, ‘Who would want to do this?’ “Well, as residents of the community, we’re all in this together.

City board designates Helen Copley’s home ‘historical’

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The late San Diego Union Tribune publisher Helen Copley purchased a small Tudor Revival house at 1263 Virginia Way in 1981. In the following months, she tailored the structure to her personal taste, adding decorative elements in the Tudor Revival style, such as a semicircular copper awning to the front entry and half-timbering (timber frames) to the façade. The San Diego Historical Resources Board (HRB) voted to designate the home “historical” during its May 25 meeting at the Civic Center because of its Copley relationship, although City planners had recommended it deny the current owner’s request to include the structure on the City’s list of historical landmarks. The property, built in 1927, is the only one Copley bought solely in her name, and it remained that way until 1984, when the ownership was changed to a family trust. The applicant’s report, crafted by IS Architecture, claims Copley lived at the property from 1981 to 1984, “even though she owned many other properties.” However, during the HRB review, it was brought up that Copley may not have inhabited the Tudor Revival house. “I don’t know personally if she lived there or not, but I know her son had a large property across the street, and she had some other properties in the neighborhood,” argued board member and La Jolla resident Courtney Coyle. The applicant’s research report highlighted the fact: “When comparing 1263 Virginia Way to the numerous properties in Helen Copley’s possession, including the 20,000-square-foot mansion ‘Foxhill’ where she often entertained, it is distinct and vastly different from the others by virtue of its small, quaint nature.” The designation was brought forward by property owners Sandra Saw and Jeff Marchioro, who purchased the house in 2010. “She had a choice between many multi-million dollar homes,” Saw began, “but she didn’t (pick them), this powerhouse of a woman chose our home, a small Tudor Revival, placing her decorative touches while leaving the structure intact.” The HRB reviewed the Foxhill property (7007 Country Club Drive) in 2015, which is now owned by real estate mogul Doug Manchester, and considered it not historic. The

the future do we have to look back and say, ‘it counts’? Fifty years from now, will anybody remember her? Being a feminist since Day 1, it’s obvious to me that women aren’t as equally represented in history — even in archeology.” For board member Tim Hutter, “Ms. Copley was a fantastic representative of San Diego and the whole State. We know what she’s accomplished ... we have the new homeowners here and they want to designate (her home), and waiting longer is doing an injustice.” The new owner Saw added, “We have a deep and profound respect for historic preservation and we would be honored to be placed by the board as guardians of this amazing woman’s history.”

Helen Copley

The copper awning detail framing the front door was added by Helen Copley after she purchased the property in 1981. reasoning, as stated in the report, “At that time, staff recommended that Helen’s accomplishments, while highly admirable, occurred primarily after her husband’s passing in 1973, and were therefore too recent to evaluate objectively within their historical context.” During the May 25 meeting, the question arose about how much time would be sufficient to evaluate Copley’s contributions in a historical context. City senior planner Kelley Stanco answered, “You have to show that enough time has passed to evaluate someone’s contributions. When you’re dealing with something (that happened) in the last 25 years, it’s more difficult to do that evaluation.” But board members disagreed. Newly-appointed Cindy Stankowski said she was torn. “How many more years into

Publisher and philanthropist Copley was born in Cedar Rapids, Michigan in 1951. According to the historical report: “She moved to San Diego in 1951 and began work as a secretary at the San Diego Union in 1953, where she met her husband, Chief Executive Officer of the San Diego Union, James Copley. Following his death in 1973, Helen Copley took control of the business.” Among her business decisions, in 1992, she merged the San Diego Union and the San Diego Evening Tribune, creating the San Diego Union Tribune. “During her tenure, she owned nine daily newspapers and other publications in California, Illinois and Ohio, and her newspapers won two Pulitzer Prizes,” the report continues. In 1996, Copley helped underwrite the Republican Party Convention that took place in San Diego. According to the research report: “She also maintained friendships with high profile Democrats, including Joan Kroc of McDonald’s fame, former Mayor O’Connor, and Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham and other well-known politicians and celebrities including Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Congressman Jack Kemp. “In 1974, she was the first woman elected to the California Chamber of Commerce and the following year was appointed by President Gerald Ford to the National Commission (on the Observance of International Women’s Year 1975).”

Shorehouse Kitchen trellis can stay says board

Owners seek a variance from City code BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN At the May 23 meeting of La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC), board members unanimously approved a motion to allow an existing shade sidewalk structure adjacent the Shorehouse Kitchen restaurant at 2236 Avenida de la Playa to remain in place. The Shorehouse Kitchen restaurant opened in 2015 offering breakfast, lunch and doggie menus. Shortly after, the owners placed a 250-square-foot shade structure on the public right-of-way in front of the building without a permit. Later that year, a City Code Enforcement Case was initiated by a resident’s complaint against the un-permitted work. Eventually the City took action and ordered the Shorehouse Kitchen to demolish all un-permitted work within the right-of-way, including the shade structure, a wooden doghouse covering a water meter and enhanced sidewalk brick paving. The doghouse and paving were part of a first remodel that happened in 2014, when the owners got a permit from the City to install the patio trellis within the restaurant. “The approved plans (for the 2014 remodel) do not depict the un-permitted trellis and sidewalk café (nor the doghouse, pavers, etc.) in the public right-of-way along Avenida de la Playa,” City Code Enforcement Division program manager Michelle Sokolowski told La Jolla Light. The sidewalk café, she explained, is in double violation with the Code because “both the use and associated improvements are present without the required permits.” To remedy the situation and avoid any potential fines, Shorehouse Kitchen architect James Lee started an application for a “Neighborhood Use Permit and Site Development Permit for encroachment of a new 250-square-foot shade structure, sidewalk café, outdoor seating, dog house, enhanced paving and seating benches built without permit within the right of way and

visibility area.” “The City is not willing to allow us to let the trellis stay,” he began, “So one idea was to make it non-permanent with a fabric awning.” Lee presented renderings of a removable steel structure of 3- by 3-inch, 8-foot posts with a base plate anchored to the concrete, which PRC trustee Janie Emerson said wasn’t to her liking. “I kept thinking about it and, the comment that we got from the City was very clear and specific in telling us the structure (should be movable),” Lee said. His second option — three umbrellas located side by side on the sidewalk — also didn’t meet Emerson’s expectations. “I don’t like anything about it,” she said. Anticipating the City may insist Shorehouse Kitchen owners remove the shade structure, Emerson made a motion to approve “a sidewalk café, outdoor seating, enhanced paving, doghouse, seating benches, period,” she said, emphasizing the absence of the trellis in her wording. The recommendation passed unanimously. PRC chair Dave Gordon made a second motion stating, “findings can be made for keeping the existing shade structure with a variance, including a Coastal Development Permit, as it fits the neighborhood and is well liked by many of the residents.” The second motion also passed unanimously. Asked whether the City would allow the structure to stay, City program manager Sokolowski said the application being processed is for the structure to stay. “This request is still in review at this time. … Should (the project) be approved, and subsequent related ministerial permits be completed, the Code Enforcement case would be closed for this issue,” she added. As to why Shorehouse Kitchen didn’t apply for a permit in the first place, co-owner John Freis told the Light in a previous interview, “We assumed that it wasn’t a problem, there was (another shade structure) down the street already.”

John Taddey, D.D.S. and Tracy Taddey, D.D.S.

Father-daughter dental team marks two years in new office John Taddey, D.D.S. and Tracy Taddey, D.D.S. — La Jolla’s father and daughter dental team — are proud to announce the second anniversary of opening their new office at 875 Prospect St., Suite 301. Previously on Ivanhoe Avenue for 41 years, the Taddey’s are excited to continue their family legacy year after year practicing together. “Our office is very modern and has a great ocean view, we feel lucky to continue serving our patients in this spectacular new space.” The Taddey’s offer the most advanced dental technologies so the patients have a relaxing and state-of-the-art comfortable experience. The Taddey team has a great commitment to their patients providing modern and stateof-the-art dentistry. Digital X-rays, highly cosmetic porcelain metal-free crowns and veneers, Invisalign, tooth-colored composite fillings, implants, laser cosmetic and gum therapy are all part of the advances in dentistry the Taddey’s offer to their patients. Dr. Tracy Taddey’s passion and main focus is cosmetic and restorative dentistry as well as Invisalign. “The newest cosmetic crowns are metal-free and give the patient a beautiful and natural smile,” Dr. Tracy Taddey said. “We see patients who were self-conscious about their teeth and rarely smile. I love to see them transform with new self-confidence and beauty. This is one of the most rewarding aspects of dentistry by having a positive impact on appearance and self-worth.” While attending New York University and post graduate studies, Dr. Tracy Taddey worked for ELLE magazine as an Assistant Beauty and Health Editor where she was exposed to the world of cosmetics, fashion and models. “I became interested in cosmetics and aesthetic perfection before my

dental career began. I love the intricate details of cosmetic dentistry and smile design, and I love how a beautiful and personalized smile can absolutely change someone’s life.” Dr. Tracy Taddey is a third-generation dentist, “Both my grandfather and Dad are dentists and continuing our family practice is a great privilege for me. My Dad and I have loved working together for 19 years, and we are so happy for the years to come!” Dr. John Taddey opened his doors to dentistry in La Jolla from New York City in 1974, and continues to thrive and provide excellent dental care to so many patients over the years. Dr. John Taddey said, “We get to know our patients very well and provide a positive personal experience. We are a very family-oriented practice and enjoy treating all age groups, including children.” Dr. John focuses his practice on specialty work such as root canals, extractions, and he is a renowned expert on TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Dysfunction therapy and Sleep Apnea. “Our new location is significant in my career, however, the patients make our practice, and we are all moving forward together. I am thrilled to continue excellent dental care in a new environment together with Tracy and all that is to come.” The Taddey team welcomes new patients and accepts many insurance plans, in-office insurance as well as payment options are available at 875 Prospect St., Suite 301, Regents Bank Building, corner of Fay Avenue and Prospect Street.

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

OUR READERS WRITE The hodge-podge of speed limits confusing to La Jolla motorists Your front-page article last week on speed limits in La Jolla was informative, but does not address the basic reason for motorist confusion, which is inconsistent speed limits for similar circumstances. For example, if the speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard, which has a mix of commercial, multi-family and single-family uses, is 25 mph, why are the speed limits on streets such as Cardeno Drive, Soledad Mountain Road and Soledad Road not also 25 mph, when they are much more single-family oriented? I’m not suggesting that speed limits be reduced or raised, I am merely championing for consistency. Consider the many ways to get to the top of Soledad Mountain: 1) Soledad Mountain Road: Speed limit is 35 mph. 2) Nautilus Street: Speed limit is 25 mph from La Jolla Blvd. to Muirlands Drive and 40 mph from Muirlands Drive to La Jolla Scenic Dr South. 3) Soledad Road: Speed limit is 35 mph. 4) La Jolla Mesa Drive: Speed limit is 30 mph. 5) Cardeno Drive: Speed limit is 30 mph. 6) La Jolla Scenic Drive South: Speed limit is 25 mph. I’m excluding Via Capri because of its uniqueness in regards to curves, surface and steepness. In my opinion, these streets have very similar driving characteristics. This lack of consistency is ridiculous. It is nonsensical to the average motorist. So nonsensical it warrants a front page article in the local newspaper. Should all streets have the same speed limit? Of course not. But streets with similar traffic volumes, width, businesses, residences and other criteria should. Richard Wolf

Police drop the ball on speeding tickets I recently watched one of our local police officers stop and cite vehicles making illegal U-turns at Girard Avenue and Prospect Street. They are doing a great job keeping our roads safe and generating needed funds for our fine City. However, I live by Torrey Pines Road, which has a 35 mph posted speed limit, and I watch cars, trucks and motorcycles dangerously speed at well over 55 mph up and down this road all day — literally hundreds of them, every day. This seems to be a huge loss of potential income from speeding infractions. But it seems 35 mph roadways are immune from police surveillance. When one spends many thousands of dollars for that powerful car or a noisy motorcycle and finds themselves on a beautiful, winding, free-from-surveillance road, right in town, well, who can blame them from blasting in and out of town? Maybe they’re in a hurry to see one of our dear, dear, pinnipeds ... Paul Mears

Leaf blowers a bane to night-shift workers La Jolla neighborhoods have a noise problem. I can see how people who work toward the East

Coast all their lives see no problem with a leaf blower going on at 7 a.m. But the times have changed and many people work at other times of the day and need their neighborhood to be calm and quiet. Personally, I work toward China and finish around 4 a.m. Then, at 7 a.m. my neighbors’ gardeners start up their leaf blowers making it impossible for me to sleep. I have lived in four other developed countries, and in all those places, they sweep up the dirt once every 2-3 months instead of blowing it around weekly. This nonsense has to stop. Marie Johansson

Accosting others when panhandling is a misdemeanor A recent letter writer inquired about relevant panhandling laws. California Penal Code 647(c) says: “Except as provided in subdivision (l), every person who commits any of the following acts is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor: (c) Who accosts other persons in any public place or in any place open to the public for the purpose of begging or soliciting alms.” This means (to me) that anyone who accosts (approaches) other persons in any public place (medians included) for the purpose of begging or soliciting alms is breaking the law. It’s quite simple. What’s also quite simple is the fact that the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) just doesn’t enforce this law at all. It’s a situation in which our very own police department is utterly failing to maintain quality-of-life issues in La Jolla. This is unacceptable, and La Jollans must put more pressure on SDPD to proactively monitor this matter. Bill Smith Editor’s Note: The Light has a story on the laws about panhandling in this issue on page A3. The bottom line is that panhandling is legal, while aggressive panhandling is not!

It’s time to enforce the Marine Mammal Protection Act in La Jolla I am writing in response to the May 25 article, “La Jolla Parks & Beaches asks City for action on sea lion report.” The story summarizes that the preferred Marine Coastal Management Plan would be to “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.” LJP&B member John Shannon also recommends that, in the inevitability of dangerous human/seal encounter, that “the Mayor needs to look at what future damage control will cost taxpayers.” Many of your articles on the subject also remind us that is is illegal to harass sea lions and seals as per the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) but that is “rarely enforced.” Is there a reason that none of the plans I’ve read about so far include enforcing the MMPA and generating revenue by handing out citations to those who break the rules? Merely disturbing a seal or sea lion is a federal offense with minimal fines of $100; injuring or killing one can be prosecuted as a misdemeanor, with civil penalties of up to $12,000 and criminal fines of up to $20,000 and

imprisonment. Every time I’m down at The Cove, I am flabbergasted at the shear number of people breaking the MMPA rules, disrupting the seals and putting themselves at risk. In a single day, a single ranger giving out tickets would pay for themselves and all of the signage and staff the City might want to hire to direct the animals off of the beaches and bluffs using approved harassment techniques and devices. The City certainly has figured out a financial model that profits from and pays for the hordes of parking enforcement officers that troll our beach communities. Torrey Pines State Reserve has resorted to increasing compliance by handing out tickets to people crossing the rope barriers between the paths and cliffs. In Yosemite, you can be fined $5,000 for not storing your food properly to keep it away from bears. With no consequences for their actions, no friendly reminder signs are going to stop the bad behavior of people bent on a free, close encounter or selfie with a marine mammal. It is unacceptable that San Diego turns a blind eye to wildlife harassment. No ranger should be put in place who’s only job is to educate without the power to issue citations. The cycle of education, MMPA enforcement and wild life management can be economically self sustaining if modeled properly. No more free selfies with sea lions! Cindy Hazuka

Bry weighs in on adoption of the City 2018 Budget Today (June 5), my colleagues and I (with an 8-1 Vote) adopted a fiscally responsible Fiscal Year 2018 Budget that sustains essential neighborhood services. This budget enhances public safety, restores funding for the arts, designates funding for the implementation of the Climate Action Plan, and supports many other important City services. While we were faced with difficult decisions in this challenging fiscal year, a fair and transparent budget review process grounded in community input has led us to a sound and balanced budget. We could not have finalized this budget without the diligent work of my colleagues on the Budget Review Committee, the Mayor’s Office, the Office of the Independent Budget Analyst, Financial Management, all City Departments, and most importantly, the engaged San Diegans who made their voices heard. I commend my colleagues for joining me in voting to eliminate the proposed $5 million from the Budget to fund a special election and for reallocating these funds to fill critical gaps. With this decision, we are upholding the will of the San Diego voters who overwhelmingly turned out to pass Measure L, which requires citizens’ initiatives and referendum measures to be placed on the General Election ballot when voter turnout is significantly higher.

La Jolla Rotarians walk Camino de Santiago for charity BY STEVE CROSS

La Jolla Sunrise Rotary y wife Carol Cross and I, along with Steve and Louise Andres, recently completed a stretch of the famed Camino de Santiago in Spain with 10 other Rotarians to help raise $28,241 for projects identified by the Golden Triangle Rotary. The funds were presented at the May 26 Rotary meeting, and the Cross’s hosted a reunion for the walkers at their home on May 28. Here are highlights from the trip: We joined walk organizers Krishan and Bonnie Arora and Judy Colander, who suggested the idea. Our group walked about 80 miles of the Camino, ending in Santiago de Compostela at the legendary cathedral in the town. Krishna, age 73, and I at age 75, were the oldest walkers on the trip. I’m still raising additional funds for an upcoming pediatric heart surgery mission in El Salvador, and Krishna is forming a fundraising project with the Rotary Club of Lugo, Spain. Using a GPS tracker, I logged the miles we walked and elevation changes, about 18,300 feet. Our group of 12 gathered in the ancient Roman walled city of Lugo, in the region of Galicia, Spain. The walls surrounding the city are a UNESCO World Heritage site and stunning in height and width. On March 31, under cloudy skies, we walked 14.5 miles and the day ended in rain and a brief hail storm. Vans gathered to transport us the short drive to Pazo Casa de Campo, for a hot shower and a hearty dinner. On the second day, the shining sun launched an explosion of spring flowers, blooming bushes and trees. Most of the journey was on ancient Roman roads, trails and past ancient streams brimming with water. When necessary, Roman and Medieval bridges crossed the water course. On the final day, we hiked up a ridge line to meet the Camino trail leading to Monte do Gozo (Mount of Joy). Arriving at the mount, we were able to glimpse the spires of the famous church in Santiago de

FROM MURAL, A4 galleries, have socio-political references, including depictions of the Klu Klux Klan and Donald Trump’s proposed “border wall.” And while he has never done a mural, Hull has experience with public — very public — art projects. “I did a merry-go-round puppet show installation in Santa Monica. There were giant sculptures that turned into puppets. As the puppet show was happening, there would be live music. When the show wasn’t going on, there was modular synth music playing and they were just sculptures on a merry-go-round,” he explained. Hull also constructed the interactive, circus-themed art as part of a recent Festival Supreme music-and-comedy event presented by comedy rock duo Tenacious D (Jack Black and Kyle Gass). “It mostly takes place outside, but it also used the Shrine Auditorium, which has 50-foot-high ceilings, and they wanted to take advantage

Compostela. Before we left the rural settings of the trail, we were invited to view sculptures by a Spanish artist. We walked along sidewalks to the old city, past groups of musicians and into the enormous plaza in front of the famous cathedral. We circled the stone marker announcing the trail end and posed for a final picture.

The final step was to deliver our passports, carefully stamped twice daily at different locations along the trail, to prove we had walked the distance. The Camino office inspects the passports and issues each walker a “Compostela” or certificate of completion. Judy presented us with our certificates at the closing dinner that night. While the others departed back to the

USA, the Andres and Carol and I stayed on to explore coastal Spain — the first day along the Rías Baixas to Pontevedra, the second traveling to Finisterre, the famous lands-end point from the movie “The Way.” Both days were filled with contrasts from the rocky “coast of death” to serene beaches, and from tumbling waterfalls to placid waters. Even though our group was from five different Rotary Clubs, we worked together to raise funds for six charities. At the recent walkers reunion my wife and I hosted, a meal of paella, traditional Spanish appetizers and Spanish wine was served. We all agreed that good fortune brought us together and stayed with us for the duration of the trip. Then someone said, “I’m thinking of walking in Italy next year.” Another said, “There is a beautiful stretch in France to walk.” There may be more to come for this group ...

of that. Jack Black approached me and we started talking about the things we could do in that space and it ended up being a circus. We did a 44-foot-high windmill and you could ride around it and inside it. It turned out great, but it was a huge amount of work.” Looking to embark on something new, he said he was excited to be part of the Murals of La Jolla program. “It’s a great program and I hope (‘Man, Myth & Magic’) is interesting in context with other murals. It’s great to take these artists and show their work in this way. I appreciate that those who might not otherwise seek out art will get a chance to see new works,” he said. The Southern California native said he got into art in his late teens as he was looking at subjects to study in higher education. “I looked at things I could do and would still want to do when I’m 80,” he explained. “I wanted to be in theater, but I was really shy, so I took theatrical make-up class and did all

the plays. I loved all the painting involved in theater make-up, so I went to art school and took a painting class. That was really where it started.” At the time, he was living near Long Beach with a great-aunt who supported his artistic endeavors. “She lived in a blue house, with a blue roof, blue wallpaper, blue rugs, blue car and a pink refrigerator,” Hull shared. “I visited her after I ran away from home and she wasn’t doing well, so I stayed to help her. She gave me my first sets of paints and was very academic so she encouraged me. I took care of her until she died, and because of that, she paid for me to go to college.” Before he committed to a college, he spent some time in Austin, Texas, working with established artists. “I learned a lot from doing that,” he said. When he was 24, he applied to California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles and earned his degree. He has been showing and producing across California ever since — once at a downtown San Diego museum.

“Pilgrims have been walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain for centuries, following the many paths to Santiago de Compostela and the tomb of St James. Today, whether walking the Camino for spiritual reasons, as a challenge or to experience its unique culture and beauty, the Camino is a trip of a lifetime, an unforgettable journey.” — caminoways.com

There will also be a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of an arbor-repair project. For the last two years, the Woman’s Club has been working with the City to get the weathered beams in their pergola replaced. The beams were not a safety threat, but because they are the original beams from over 100 years ago, they were due for a replacement. The City process took longer than they expected, so now that the project is finished, Club members want to celebrate. lajollawomansclub.org

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Frederick R. Livingstone 1925 - 2017

La JoLLa — Frederick Ralph Livingstone, 91, died on May 2, in the same home in La Jolla where he arrived as a newborn in 1925. He died in his own bed, as he hoped to, with his wife of 68 years, Marilyn (Gildea), by his side. The family is very grateful to his daughter, ann, who made this possible by leaving her work in Los angeles to help her mother care for Fred at the end of his life. In addition to Marilyn and ann, Fred is survived by his four sons and their wives: Stephen (Laurie), William (Rhonda), John

(Constance), and Matthew (Mary Brigid); as well as grandchildren; and great-grandchildren. Fred took great pleasure in telling friends that he and Marilyn were delivered by the same doctor at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla when it was located on Prospect Street, three months and 10 days apart in 1925. The couple’s paths diverged after that coincidence until after World War II, when they met as students at San Diego State College. Fred and Marilyn were married in La Jolla in 1948, honeymooning on Santa

Catalina Island (which became the site of many happy memories for their extended family). Fred studied architecture at the University of Southern California in Los angeles and served in the U.S. army Reserve as a staff sergeant. In 1957 the family returned to San Diego, where he earned his license to practice architecture from the State of California (and subsequently the State of Texas), and became a member of the american Institute of architects (a.I.a.). Fred and Joe Brown managed an architectural partnership in La Jolla from 1961-1966. The aston house on Mission Bay in Pacific Beach and a church at Black Warrior Lagoon in Baja are two of the much admired projects. In 1966, he began working for Frank L. Hope & associates, a San Diego based engineering and architectural firm, retiring as senior vice president and executive architect

in 1986. Fred also served as the president of the San Diego Chapter of the a.I.a. and on the San Diego Board of Zoning appeals. Fred was project manager architect for many commercial buildings and schools in San Diego. The Intercontinental Hotel downtown and The Union Tribune Building and the Scripps Research buildings just to name a few. Following a brief but enjoyable tenure with California Construction Surveillance, he retired again in 1989. In retirement he traveled, wrote for the Pacific Beach Historical Society, played golf, managed the estates of his mother and aunt, and continued enjoying the life he and Marilyn began so many years before. Fred’s influence was widespread and he will be greatly missed by many. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Robert Francis ‘Bert’ Mawhinney April 26, 1928 - May 19, 2017

LA JoLLA — Robert Francis (Bert) Mawhinney, 89, passed away Friday, May 19, 2017 at Scripps Memorial Hospital, following a brief illness. Bert was born in Washington DC. At the age of 16, he got his aircraft pilot’s license for his birthday. He graduated from St. John’s College High School in Washington DC. In 1947, he received the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Medal as recognition of excellence in scientific and mathematical studies. He then went on to attend Rensselaer, Troy, NY graduating in 1951 with a BS Aeronautical Engineering. He met his wife Anne

through her brother and they were married in July 1955. They moved to California where he was employed by Convair for 23 years. His last assignment was as project manager for the Guidance System to the Tomahawk Cruise Missile. In 1978, he started Xscribe after

watching Anne dictate her court reporting notes at night. He invented an optical reader and computer system for court reporters and his company transformed that industry. Xscribe’s computerized steno machine was the beginning of the real-time court proceedings and closed captioning for the deaf that we have today. In his retirement, Bert spent 10 years building an experimental amphibian aircraft called the Glass Goose. He enjoyed flying his plane into his 80’s. He also enjoyed tennis with the Kellogg Gang, duplicate bridge, traveling around the world and spending time with his family. He was a volunteer with the Mt. Soledad

Memorial Association and was an avid reader and learner every day of his life. He lived his life to the fullest! Survived by his loving wife Anne of 62 years; sons, Steve and John (Elise); daughter, Eileen Williams (Ted); and grandchildren, Ashley Robichaud (Doug), Brett Williams (Nicole), Austin Williams, Ryan Mawhinney (Megan) and Stephanie Mawhinney; and great-grandchildren, Luke Robichaud and Grayson Mawhinney. A Mass to celebrate his life will take place at the Mary Star of the Sea in La Jolla, on Thursday, June 8, 2017, at 10am. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Doris Q. ‘Dee’ Carpenter June 1932 - May 2017

La JoLLa — Doris “Dee” Q. Carpenter, passed away on May 28, 2017. Born to Robert and Elsa Quinn, Dee lived in Binghamton, NY and Pittsburgh, Pa before attending Purdue University, where she was a member of alpha Xi Delta and graduated in 1954 with a BS in Home Economics. Dee met her husband Robert “Bob” Carpenter (deceased 2010) at Purdue, and they married in 1954. Together, they lived in anderson, IN, working as owner/partners of three Carpenter Dime Stores. In 1960, Dee gave birth to her only child, Christen Lynn. That same year, they all moved to San Diego, leaving the family business to begin their new life and adventures on the west coast. Dee was an avid community volunteer with multiple organizations – most notably she served as president of Las Vecinas in 1968-69, president of La Jolla Meals on Wheels (2 years), was a Scripps volunteer and member of La Jolla Villagers. In their 56 years of marriage, Bob and Dee traveled the world (via car, sea and air), visiting over 50 countries and making life long friends along the way. Dee enjoyed playing

Bridge with many groups and friends. Dee is survived by her daughter, Christen (Gary) Latham; and grandchild, Quinn Kathryn Latham. Dee’s wishes were that there would be no formal services, however, a celebration of life for Bob and Dee will be planned for late summer. after Bob’s retirement in 1993, they both volunteered for many years at the La Jolla Meals on Wheels and found the experience rewarding and special. If you feel so inclined – a donation in remembrance of them can be made to La Jolla Meals on Wheels, 9888 Genesse avenue, La Jollla, Ca 92037 or lajollamealsonwheels.org.

Children’s Pool extra lifeguard petition didn’t make the budget The request for an extra daily permanent lifeguard to be stationed at La Jolla Children’s Pool, included in District 1 Council member Barbara Bry’s revision of the 2018 City budget, didn’t make the final document. Upon approval by the San Diego City Council at the June 5 meeting in Council Chambers, the motion to accept the

budget stripped the $5 million Mayor Kevin Faulconer had earmarked to pay for a special election in November for the proposed Soccer City and Convention Center expansion, and reallocated those funds to: Police Department Retention Program ($3M); the Homeless Prevention and Diversion Program ($1M); and Rape Kit Testing ($500,000). The wording also included a provision for the mid-year revision of the budget to include (if funds become available) a Lifeguard Lieutenant; additional fleet technicians to reduce the number of “red tag list” vehicles; five positions at the City Attorney’s Office; and continued support for the Homeless Outreach Team. The Lifeguard Lieutenant possition, if added, will not be assigned to La Jolla’s Children’s Pool, Bry’s communications director Hilary Nemchik confirmed. “We went with the (Independent Budget Analyst) recommendation, and (the Children’s Pool postion) wasn’t in their recommendation, they did a compilation of all the requests of Council members,” she told La Jolla Light. “But making sure that we have enough coverage at Children’s Pool is something that (Bry) will continue to advocate for.” For Lifeguard Sgt. Ed Harris, the designation of funds for an extra Lifeguard Lieutenant would be “very appropriate.” He commended Bry for her efforts, and added, “We can’t get everything, she tried to get the Children’s Pool staffing, that apparently didn’t make it into the budget.” Harris explained the Lifeguard Lieutenant is needed in the service and will be justified by the amount of overtime the other Lifeguard Lieutenants currently file, which will save the City money.

D R AMINSK I WAGENER

(1952-2017) Dear Friends and Family, It is with a sad heart that I share the news of the passing of my mother, Gudrun Wagener. She left us on May 25TH, in the comfort of her home, surrounded by family. For those of you who didn’t know, she lost her battle with cancer the second time around, a story heard all too often. GW, as her friends called her, brought style to La Jolla starting in 1980 with her store Wagener European Fashion. Later she lent her design and business acumen to Harley Davidson motorcycles at Cycle Visions and she spread her personal touch to many families and friends managing their residential investment homes through the years. My mom made a family here spreading her love through groups like the Girl Scouts, Fashion Group International and mainly her close group of friends, The Daffies: Susan Joehnk, Christa Kriebel, Elke Radelow, and Carol Walter. Omi dedicated her life to her two granddaughters, Sophia and Liesel. To say she will be missed is a understatement. Mami, not a second goes by that I don’t love you more than before. Thank you for life, love and lessons. Auf Wiedersehen to the woman who continues to live strongly.

‘The Seven Arts’ COURTESY

This photograph reproduction shows Belle Baranceanu’s ‘The Seven Arts’ mural (dry fresco, 1939-1940) over the proscenium at La Jolla High School. The mural was lost when the building was demolished in 1975.

Historical Society exhibit recreates La Jolla High’s destroyed mural BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN visit to the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) exhibit “Belle Baranceanu: The La Jolla Murals,” on display June 10-Sept. 3 at Wisteria Cottage, is the closest an art-lover can get to wandering into La Jolla High School’s then-auditorium in 1940 while Belle Baranceanu was painting “The Seven Arts” mural, her final commission through the Federal government’s New Deal projects. Baranceanu’s masterpiece, painted over a proscenium arch that framed the school stage, was demolished along with the auditorium in 1975 due to concerns regarding its resistance to a seismic event. Exhibit curator Jennifer Hernández explained, “She painted (the mural) on canvas and before she even started, the canvas was adhered to the proscenium arch around the stage, and

because it was part of the wall, there was no way to get it off.” The artist painted two murals in La Jolla, which were government funded, as the country recovered from the Great Depression — La Jolla High’s “The Seven Arts” and the La Jolla Post Office’s “Scenic View of the Village,” which remains today covering a side wall in the lobby. For Hernández, who holds a Ph.D. in history, the interest in Baranceanu was related to this historic context. “I used Baranceanu to talk about the social history of Great Depression in San Diego. I thought she made a great case study as someone whose career was saved by the New Deal, in a time when artists were not getting a lot of work.” The idea for the exhibition was sparked when San Diego attorney John SEE MURAL, B4

Please listen carefully

I

La Jolla Cultural Partners

continue to be puzzled that no matter what business number I call, the recording advises me to “Please listen carefully as our menu options have changed.” Inquiring minds want to know: What is it about business phones that they feel compelled to constantly change their menu options? Even more to the point, the new options sound suspiciously like the old ones. One of these days I’m going to catch one of these places out on this and write a column showing that in point of fact, their menu options HAVE NOT CHANGED ONE BIT. And while we’re on this subject, I’m SICK of listening carefully. I’m even more sick of being TOLD to listen carefully. What, they think I have the IQ of an amoeba? That if I’m not reminded to listen carefully I’ll listen carelessly and select the wrong option? Hell, I’m likely to do that anyway since the whole purpose of these options is to make sure you never get to an actual person. The option that you really want — speaking to a human — is NEVER on the first menu, no matter how carefully you listen. And believe me, at this point I am a very, very careful listener. My friend Bill has always maintained that you should never select any of the options

and ultimately they’ll give up and send you to a person. After all, some people have rotary phones and can’t opt. But that doesn’t work as well anymore. They’re perfectly willing to disconnect you as punishment for not selecting one of the changed menu options, not listening carefully, but most of all for having a rotary phone. My long-time preferred method, after listening to the first round of allegedly-changed menu options, is to just keep repeating “agent” or “representative.” But some businesses — and we’re especially talking about medical insurance companies, and particularly YOU, Blue Shield — refuse to consider connecting you to a person until you have chosen one of their 10 options. And then, of course, you’ve been sucked down a rabbit hole that you’ll never get out of. And don’t even get me going on the part about how your call is very important to them. My call is NOT important to you, you lying bags of dung! If it were, you’d have someone answering your phone. On the rare occasions someone actually does, I’m so grateful I forget why I called. OK, I realize I’m sounding a little testy. But I’ve had way too many opportunities to be implored to listen carefully to changed menu options in recent months.

Late last fall, I — and hundreds of others — were inadvertently dis-enrolled from Medicare. My former employer, who provides my secondary insurance (Blue Shield), swears it was a Medicare snafu. Medicare maintained it was the fault of the benefits office folks of my former employer whom I would agree have the intelligence of corn meal. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a huge medical crisis and 22 claims were denied in the process. I was suddenly deemed uninsured. The benefits office never ever responded to voicemail messages or e-mails. Of course, I probably wouldn’t either if several hundred irate people were calling me. So I tried calling Medicare. The good news is that you ultimately get a person if you persevere on hold long enough. The bad news is that they are incapable of actually fixing anything. The Medicare lady confirmed that their computers showed that indeed, I was no longer enrolled in Medicare. In a cruel infinite loop, Blue Shield, being the secondary, won’t pay until Medicare has paid their part first. The Medicare lady said that maybe I dis-enrolled myself during the recent Open Enrollment and I don’t remember. Seriously? I realize we’re dealing with an older population here but it’s really a shame the Uzi-through-the-phone app is still in its infancy. Yup, I totally forgot that I spent an hour on hold to dis-enroll myself from Medicare, a procedure only slightly less complicated than a Middle East Peace Accord. It’s not like there is a “Press 3 to dis-enroll from Medicare” option that you can accidentally select. Then the Medicare lady offers: Maybe your husband did it. Yeah, like someone can just

I reminded her that every time I’ve called Medicare about a claim for him, they’ve insisted I put him on the phone personally. So, she says, maybe I don’t remember that my husband called Medicare and put me on the phone and I told them I didn’t want to be enrolled any more. You probably think you can imagine how many months it takes to get 22 claims resubmitted and how many times you are implored to listen carefully to changed options from people who truly care about your call. But no, you really can’t. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

FROM MURAL, B1

surprising things about the panels was that the artist had cut out the hands in all the drawings and then taped them back on, which she made sure was noticeable to the public visiting the exhibit. “My job is to conserve the original and protect what’s there and what happened to it,” she said, implying the changes and mistakes on the panels were important and gave context to the artistic process. The drawings underwent an intensive process of restoration, which is documented in the exhibit. LJHS archivist Michael Mishler told the Light that when they first received the panels “there were pieces coming off of them.”

Howard donated the real-size draft panels where Baranceanu sketched out “The Seven Arts.” “We wanted to explore the development of these two murals (‘The Seven Arts’ and ‘Scenic View of The Village’) that are in this community and put some of this material on exhibit for the first time,” LJHS executive director Heath Fox told La Jolla Light. “We’re looking forward to this exhibit. We think it’s going to resonate with the community quite a bit because almost everyone who has been in La Jolla for any time in their lives has been in the Post Office and has seen the mural that’s still there, and there are many people who went to La Jolla High and remember ‘The Seven Arts’ mural when it was there.” The donated mural sketches, known as “cartoons,” are the full scale context preliminary drawings “that Baranceanu did use in the execution of the mural itself,” Fox said. Before they could be exhibited, the panels had to go through restoration, and Balboa Art Conservation Center paper conservation chief director Janet Ruggles was the right woman for the job. “The biggest challenge was that they are big,” she told the Light. “We had to find a space large enough in the lobby where we could actually unroll the panels (to document them with pictures).” Ruggles said the biggest panel is 17 feet long (the original dimensions of “The Seven Arts” were 36 feet high by 41 feet wide). Ruggles related that one of the

Belle Baranceanu

The artist was born 1902 in Chicago, Illinois, where she also attended art school. “In the 1920s and ’30s the Art Institute in Chicago was mecca for artists,” Hernández began, “I believe if she had stayed in Chicago, it would have been harder for her to survive as an artist … the competition was fierce.” Baranceanu moved to California where she was able to land several New Deal contracts to paint murals for the Government, two of them in La Jolla. “She really set herself apart in San Diego as being a very talented artist compared to the small community of artists who were already here,” Hernández opined. For Hernández, Baranceanu’s style is very “unique,” a combination of cubism and American regionalism. “I think she dabbled more in abstract art than a lot of artists did in the ‘30s,” she added. “Her contribution is that she not only

Whatever the season, bone broths with a rich store of vitamins and minerals are embraced by top chefs and Dr. Moms alike. Here’s a primer on these supercharged liquid immune boosters that you can brew at home and sip everyday to soothe your soul. Bon appétit! Waste not, Want not: Bone broths have been prepared in a variety of kitchens throughout the globe for centuries to ratchet up flavor and nutrients, while following the conservation ethos of utilizing the animal in its entirety, including organs and bones. Asian recipes typically incorporate fish skin and bones in traditional stocks and broths, Korean cuisine use beef bones, while European cooks choose poultry bones as the cornerstone of soups, stews and sauces. Lock, Stock and Barrel: While stocks, broths and bone broths are similar in principle (blending water, meat, bones, herbs, spices and assorted vegetables and simmering for hours then pouring through a filter like a cheesecloth or a mesh sieve to

strain the solids) not all of these soups are created equal. Stocks are typically robust, prepared with meat and bones that have been roasted beforehand to dial up the flavor and color, then simmered for a few hours. Broths typically use meat rather than bones as the base, and are only simmered for an hour or so creating a more delicate liquid. Bone broths, as the name suggests are made from bones of either chickens, turkeys, duck, geese or other wild game, lamb, cows, pigs or fish. Like stocks, these bones can be pre-roasted, and usually have some tendons or connective tissue still attached. For an even richer broth some cooks use marrow, feet, fins, hooves, beaks or even the whole carcass. These mighty soups are simmered for several hours (a minimum of eight), with an acid such as apple cider vinegar or lemon juice blended in the mix to break down the structural protein called collagen in connective tissue, releasing gelatin and important trace minerals. Bone Up! Bone broths not only warm the cockles of your heart, they have healing properties, too. These steamy powerhouses are packed with antioxidant

and anti-inflammatory nutrients, particularly the protein gelatin and amino acids Glycine and Proline to relieve achy, creaky and injured joints and bones, promote healthy nails, skin, and a restful sleep, detoxify, improve digestion, and pump up hemoglobin production. The bones also have a supply of minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and silicon for fluid balance and yet more bone function, while the marrow has an ample load of Vitamin A, zinc and selenium to hike the immune system, Vitamin K2 and iron for healthy blood, and heart-healthy omega-3s and omega-6s. Finally, bone broth, especially from poultry, puts the skids on the movement of neutrophil white blood cells to keep viruses at bay. Hot Tips • Sip bone broth straight up like a cup of tea every morning or throughout the day; • Pour bone broth into soups, stews, sauces or over meats or vegetables for roasting or braising; • Use only organic bones from animals that were not treated with growth hormones, or given GMO feed; • The longer the broth cooks, the more nutrient dense it becomes; • Make sure enough acid is used to break down the connective tissue; • Lemon juice also has a rich supply of antioxidant Vitamin Cs to ward off or shorten the duration of colds, and help keep allergies in check; • Store broth in airtight containers or mason jars in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze in ice cube trays for six months.

Meet mother-daughter dog walking team Karen and Brittany Alwerud BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: The “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, friendly faces to bring you their stories.

Apartments before they tore them down at WindanSea Beach. We loved living there. He’s a big surfer, I surf, and it was awesome living here.”

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

(To Brittany) Where do you live now?

B: “I live in Topanga Canyon, in L.A., so we traded the flip flops for cowboy boots and now we’re able to have dogs and horses and tons of animals. But I come down here quite a bit, at least once a month, to see my mom and take care of my business.”

D

og walkers Karen and Brittany Alwerud of DogZenergy have provided pet services to La Jolla’s favorite dogs for 10 years. Brittany, who started the business as a way to earn extra cash as an UC San Diego student, recently moved to Los Angeles, but drives back regularly to check on her business. Karen moved to La Jolla Shores in 2011 to help her entrepreneur daughter.

How many people do you employ?

K: “We employ about 12.” B: “Most of them live here in La Jolla, or nearby.”

Are most of your dogs La Jolla dogs?

How did you end up in La Jolla?

Karen (K): “I was born in Los Angeles. I lived in Mission Beach while I went to college, did that whole scene ... I left and was a flight attendant for about eight years. I started a family and quit my flight attendant job to raise my kids, and we raised them in an avocado horse ranch in Temecula. But kids grow up! Brittany went to UC San Diego and she started the business walking a few dogs in the Bird Rock area while she was at school. I’d done a lot of work with horses, we always had about six dogs on the ranch, tons of animals, so it was just natural for her when she went off to college to say, ‘I’m going to walk dogs to make some extra income,’ I said, ‘OK, just not in freshmen year, but maybe in your sophomore year.’ ” Brittany (B): “It just started as a hobby, a way to make extra cash … and then it got so busy! We were walking dogs on almost every street in La Jolla, and I was like, ‘Mom, I need you to come help me!’ ” K: “I was like, ‘Yeah, I’d love to.’ So that’s how I ended up in La Jolla, moved to La Jolla Shores, it’s been an awesome dream come true, working with my daughter, and (sharing) our love for animals.”

K: “Yes, although we have some in Del Mar.” B: “Some of our dogs we’ve (walked) since they were puppies, and now they are 8 or 9 years old. So we’ve been very lucky, there’s at least six dogs that we’ve had for nine years or so.” MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Do you have any funny stories about walking dogs around town?

Brittany (daughter) and Karen (mother) Alwerud have been walking La Jolla’s dog for nine years.

B: “I used to walk a high energy German Shepherd around Scripps campus, (and the owner) also had Segways (self-balancing scooters), so I asked him, ‘Would you mind if I took the Segway out and actually ran your dog?’ And sure enough, I ended up using the Segway to run the German Shepherd and I would bring other dogs with me to get a lot of energy out. Dogs here in La Jolla, they love the beach, but because of leash laws and everything else, the dogs are really cooped up and have a lot of energy that doesn’t get out in beneficial ways, and it can come out in bad behaviors. That’s why we believe that getting dog’s physical and mental energy out is so important to they can be Zen and balanced.”

B: “It’s been a dream come true because when I was younger I would sit on my mom’s bed after school and I would talk to her about how I would love to have a business together one day. And I wanted her to move to La Jolla because I knew she would love living here, it’s such a beautiful place and community.”

How do you like La Jolla?

K: “I love it, there’s no better place.” B: “I was here for 10 years and then I had to move, and it was really hard. I moved because of my husband’s job. We met here at UCSD, when we were 19 and 20, and then we ended up moving in together at the Shore Colony

walk at a time?

K: “Our average is four. We’re not one of those dog walkers that tries to get as many dogs in one group because it’s all about the money. It’s all about the experience for the dog (with us). But we offer playgroups, one for big dogs, one for small dogs. We pick up these dogs (in a van), take them to the dog park, and they love it.” B: “The (dogs) get to be off leash, it’s really fun. There are these dogs that go every day, and they know where to sit in the van, is like a little school bus.”

Where did you get your love for animals?

K: “It’s within me, ever since I was a small child. I brought home every stray — lizards, snakes, you name it, I had it.” B: “Growing up on the ranch was really great because my mom would see a snake on the road and she would stop and pick it up so the kids could see it.”

(To Karen) How many kids do you have?

K: “Two, they’re both entrepreneurs, my son Sven-Anders started a skateboard company called Jelly Skateboards in La Jolla.” (To Karen) Are you married? K: “(I was but) we parted ways about the time we sold the ranch.”

What do you do for fun?

K: “My most favorite thing is riding horses with my daughter up in Malibu or Topanga, with her mini donkey and her two dogs. Nothing makes me happier. I’ve played tennis most of my life. I love going to the beach with friends, being active.” B: “I’m pretty much the exact same (both laugh).”

How do you handle dogs who misbehave?

K: “I’m a dog trainer, so if any clients have misbehaving dog problems, I can help them. But honestly, we don’t take on any aggressive dogs. I do a meet-and-greet with every new client to make an assessment. I want to know for the safety of my dog walkers because they are usually young, female, college graduates, and I want to know that the

home they go into is safe.”

Do you have a favorite dog that you walk?

K: “Every week I do a walk and train with these two amazing gray Pyrenees, Thelma and Louise, and I don’t know what it is, I’ve been doing it for two years at least, and we’re so connected it’s just amazing. It’s almost a spiritual connection ... it’s very awesome.” B: “Every dog is different, and we have our favorites for different reasons. Like Murphy here (pictured), he’s like a little human, a man trapped in a dog body, he even has very humanistic eyes. I’ve actually known him for about seven years now, his mom, Becky, is a local artist.”

It’s been an awesome dream “come true, working with my daughter, and (sharing) our love for animals. — Karen Alwerud

What’s your favorite breed?

K: “I just love them all.” B: “A really popular breed now in La Jolla is the Golden Doodle.” K: “And ‘Frenchies’ (French bulldog)!” B: “I’d say those are La Jolla’s favorite dogs.” K: “And Golden Retrievers! People love seeing them in the truck on the way to the park (makes excited dog sounds), they can’t wait to get there!” B: “I have two Golden Retrievers, so I’m partial to them (laughs).”

Is there something common to all the La Jolla dogs?

B: “La Jolla dogs are very loved and very much a part of the family.” K: “They’re people’s babies! If I come back as a dog, it has to be to somebody in La Jolla.”

Is it true that dogs look like their humans?

K: “No, not really.” B: “I don’t know, I look like my dog and my husband looks like his dog. I think you get attracted to a certain dog because they have characteristics similar to yours, you see yourself in that dog. So I guess even if (human and dog) don’t look physically alike, their lifestyles match, and when their lifestyles don’t match, that’s when we see problems.

SPONSORED COLUMNS STEPHEN PFEIFFER, PH.D. Clinical Psychologist 858.784.1960

The Fear Trap When we hear fear stories of the end of times coming from pundits and social media posts, this is nothing new. Fear sells, and it has sold for millennia, from doomsday prophesies to Cold War movies to color-coded terror threat levels. So why does now seem worse—why do we seem to be inching ever closer to the end of the world, at least as we know it? Why does terrorism regularly poll as one of America’s top fears despite the fact that, aside from the tragic events on September 11, 2001, deaths caused by terrorism are a third of what they averaged in the 1970s and ’80s and about half of what they were at the peak in the mid-1980s And though violent crime rates are fluctuating up this year, the rates of violent crimes in major cities are still much lower than they were in the 1990s,

and since the recent peak in 2006 (with the exception of Chicago). Ebola, despite its tragic outbreak in West Africa, did not end up causing the collapse of global civilization. But the 24-hour news cycle and competing platforms need to fill in all the empty spaces and also generate a profit, and bad news and fear continue to sell. The evolution of “eyewitness news” has made everyone a potential recorder of tragedies, horrors, injustices, and general doomsday events, keeping us continuously on the lookout for the next tragedy, horror, and injustice. All of which can keep us in a perpetual state of fear. Part of how human beings operate is to be wary of the unknown, a primal survival mechanism. Over time, feeding into this mechanism rewires the brain to fear what is unknown or unfamiliar. From that point, fear becomes the familiar feeling, and anything unfamiliar is deemed to be unsafe. This reprogramming can go so far as to trick the brain into thinking that news of lower crime and terror rates, that things aren’t as bad as thought, aren’t to be trusted. Good news isn’t what has become familiar. New information is scary.

This is true of personal experience, in which people stay in the abusive relationship because it is familiar, as well as politics, where demagogues and demagogue wannabes use fear to control the public. Machiavelli has an entire chapter of his seminal work, The Prince, devoted to the idea that being both loved and feared is important, but to pick one, it is safer to be feared than loved, which has been the playbook for world leaders since the 1530s. When citizens feel threatened, they look to a savior, a Superman or strong man who can save them from terror and return their familiar way of life. Citizens then can be so desperate for safety that they become willing to give up certain rights in exchange for their safety, putting on blinders to potential abuses of power. When politicians or news media tell people that something is true, even if it seems ridiculous, the repetition of that news fosters familiarity with that news, making it seem less ridiculous over time. At a certain point, that ridiculous or false piece of news gets accepted as a truth. For those who might not necessarily believe that piece of news or accept it as truth, the repetition breaks down the resistance to it— and the fake news becomes one of those facets

of life that must be accepted as normal. But the power of fear can be resisted by understanding that much of our fear comes from manipulation of public panic and not from actual data. Fear employs an emotional response, a primal impulse—but our brains have evolved to also think rationally. This later development helps us to assess more complex situations and to participate within complex societies. When human brains first developed, the primal center was responsible for recognizing saber-toothed tigers and telling humans either to run or pick up a big rock. These are the reflexes that make us duck or flinch when we hear a loud noise. But our world is no longer that simple. We need our rational responses to judge the accuracy of the messages we are being given. Using our judgment centers is a way of exercising our own power, our autonomy of thought. Without that capacity to reason, we are left only with reactionary emotion, which can be easily influenced by those in a position to exploit those emotions for their own gains.

to people watch to see “theirI lovereactions to the car.

People take pictures of it and talk about how cool it is. I like that it makes people happy.

— Robert Feliciano

Robert Feliciano’s 1957 Chevy is a labor of love

The fully Th f restored 1957 Chevy, named d Christine, Ch i ti owned db by La L JJolla ll resident id t R Robert b t FFeliciano. li i

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 series, we present their delightful roadster experiences.

O

ne day, when La Jolla resident Robert Feliciano was a child in the Bronx, he was playing “army guys” on a stoop using action figures with his cousin. Up rolled a neighbor in a black-and-white 1957 Chevy, who had just returned from combat in the Vietnam War. “He walked up to us and said, ‘I was one of those guys’ (motioning to the action figures) and he showed us his prosthetic leg and we thought it was so cool at the time. I also noticed his car and thought it was so cool. It’s one of those things that stayed in my mind forever,” Feliciano said. That day would have more of an impact on his life than he could have predicted, as Feliciano went on to serve in the military and now owns a ’57 Chevy, which he calls “Christine.” “The body of that thing is unique. They have the fins and the torpedoes up front, and you don’t usually see that. And (Chevy)

La Jolla resident Robert Feliciano did that just for that one year. It stands out,” he said, adding that he likes to park Christine at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool on Sundays and volunteers the car for fundraisers, car shows and kids events. “I love to people watch to see their reactions to the car. People take pictures of it and talk about how cool it is. I like that it makes people happy,” he said. Feliciano’s appreciation for classic cars goes way back, when he enlisted in the Navy and was stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii from July 1986 to December 1989. At that time, he drove a 1972 Chevelle. “It was my pride and joy ... but I sold it to my shipmate for $900, which broke my heart. Even now, I wish I hadn’t,” he said. After he retired from military service, he took a job that required him to commute for hours a day and he bought a modern car. “I

got burned out and took a sabbatical,” he said. “In 2005, my longtime partner Elizabeth (Edwards) suggested I get another classic car and restore it. I was running around in Vista for something else, and I see this car, and I knew right away it was a 1957 Chevy. I knocked on the door and spoke to the owner, who it turns out was retired-Navy as well, so we hit it off,” he said. The former owner intended to restore it, but never did, and was willing to sell it to Feliciano. “It was rotted, there were no seats, it was in bad shape. I offered to take it off his hands with the promise I would make something out of it,” he said. “I knew I could do it because the parts are easy to find and easy to install. They make reproduction parts and they re-manufacture parts. It’s not as expensive as newer vehicles to maintain, but

PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON MACKIN

things like chrome get pretty expensive.” Other aesthetics, such as period-accurate tires, can get pricey. His cost $250 apiece. “The engine itself was easy to replace, but I outfit mine with newer things to save me gas. I also updated the transmission to get better gas mileage. Now I get 14 miles per gallon on the freeway as opposed to eight (laughs).” In the course of working on the car, Feliciano said he often found himself at Boulevard Automotive in Pacific Beach, shopping for parts and when needed, trusting the mechanics there to fix what he couldn’t. He was there so often, he was eventually offered a job at the body shop, where he continues to work today. “The car definitely wouldn’t be what it is without these guys. It was a big project to get it restored, and when I was done, I still wanted to work on cars and with the people here,” he said. Now that it’s restored, Feliciano enters “Christine” in shows and benefits and drives it around town as his “daily driver.” “People have come to recognize the car with him in it,” his partner Edwards explained. “He’s outgoing with it and he’s made friends just driving down the street. People say hi and tell him stories about when they had one or a loved one had one. They take photos and comment on it. He loves that and loves watching people react to the car.” To keep it in “tip-top shape,” she said he dedicates a certain amount of time to cleaning the car, but not “too much.” A necessity that Edwards understands. “It was a mess when he got it,” she said. “He worked on it for a few years and got it ship-shape and that’s why he keeps it so nice. Now it’s a beautiful car. I love it, too.”

he La Jolla Chapter of the National League of Young Men (NLYM) held its third annual Compass Dinner, May 21 at The Catamaran Resort Hotel. The dinner is a NLYM tradition and attended by members’ mothers and fathers, where the participants receive awards for their philanthropic work throughout the school year. These include the Captain Award (85-109 service hours), the Admiral Award (110 hours or more), and the Anchor Award to the young man with the most hours of philanthropic service. This year’s Anchor Award went to Hudson Liu, Class of 2018.

The four classes earned a total of 4,139 hours of direct community philanthropy in 2016-17. This year’s dinner honored the La Jolla Chapter’s first Senior Class. In closing remarks, 2017 Senior Class president Dominick Wallace spoke poignantly, “After three years being a member of NLYM, there were two specific days that changed my thinking forever. These experiences significantly transitioned me from childhood to adulthood.” He spoke in reference to his experiences at Meals on Wheels and Project Mercy. During the evening, the Senior Class

Fashion, food, fun and fathers at Charity League ‘graduation’ T

he Greater San Diego National Charity League presented its 2017 Senior Recognition event on May 27 at the Hyatt Aventine, where 24 high school seniors walked the runway with their fathers before an applauding audience of nearly 450. The theme “Reflections” was chosen as the seniors looked back on their six years of philanthropic service to the community. Dinner and a Bloomingdales fashion show produced by Kristi Brooks featuring sophomore and junior member modelettes, completed the evening. — Kelly Dougherty

www.lajollalight.com FROM SPITFIRE GRILL, B14 Hannah takes one look at the down-and-out young woman and suspects Miss Percy will be more trouble than she’s worth. However, Hannah is not the spring chicken she once was and certainly has lost her spitfire proficiency (plus, the cute and polite officer Joe is hard to say no to), so she agrees to take on Percy’s help. Things might have started off great for boss and employee but for the shenanigans of Effy Krayneck (Maggie Carney). She’s the town’s postmaster, but most call her the town’s bigmouth tattletale. It wouldn’t be so bad if she didn’t spout opinions to everyone about things she thinks are the truth, but in reality, are far from it. After Hannah is waylaid by a leg/hip injury, Percy puts more effort into helping — even though most of the town is wary of the newcomer. Percy soon meets Shelby Thorpe (Meghan Andrews), a neighbor who helps Hannah at The Spitfire Grill, and Caleb Thorpe (Kevin Earley), her stubborn husband who doesn’t like Percy or trust her. Shelby and Percy become friends and share a lot as they work together to save the Grill, but Percy doesn’t reveal a secret she discovers that Hannah has been hiding for years. Buoyed by a plan to raffle off The Spitfire Grill through a national contest, the women manage to raise the sagging town’s spirits (along with their own) as they come to terms with and move past personal tragedies. The actors are true to their characters, and as they lift their powerful voices in soulful tunes, they win audience hearts. The play offers mystery, humor (Carney keeps everyone laughing), and beautiful accompaniment by the off-stage musicians Alby Potts, Nikko Nobleza, Catherine Gray and George Spelvin. The splendid cast and inspiring story perceptively affirm there’s no place like home! ■ IF YOU GO: “The Spitfire Grill” is on stage through July 2 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $42. (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org
