CRIMINALS BEWARE!

La Jolla Neighborhood Watch groups quadruple since last year NEWS ANALYSIS BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON n summer 2016, La Jolla was experiencing an increase in residential burglaries and other theft-related crimes. The town responded with an increase in grassroots activism by way of Neighborhood Watch groups in sub-areas across La Jolla, and a citizen’s crime advisory committee under the La Jolla Town Council. By September, 10 Neighborhood Watch groups had formed. Now, one year after La Jolla Light published the story “Neighborhood Watch programs become a force in La Jolla,” the number of Watches has jumped to 44, and the La Jolla-area groups have refined their approach and seen a reduction in burglaries. “From a law enforcement standpoint, we’ve made huge strides in Neighborhood Watch,” said San Diego Police Department Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser, who is charged with helping to launch Watch groups. “There are a lot more meetings, a lot more coordination, and we have Neighborhood Watch captains in certain areas who can take part of the work and help me out. Now, we have much more of a melding of police and citizens and working together, which has been much more effective (in fighting crime).” In the citizen groups, headed largely by Barber Tract resident Cynthia Chasan, there is also a hierarchy through which information is fielded. First, a Neighborhood Watch area is established, covering one block or several. Each of these areas SEE CRIME WATCH, A10

Greatrex denies allegations of $67K theft of Rec Center funds BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Former La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board chair Cindy Greatrex has been accused of stealing more than $67,000 from Rec Center funds, a charge she adamantly denies. She is to appear in Superior Criminal Court in San Diego on Friday, Sept. 15, where her lawyer is confident the charges of grand theft by employee, filed July 5, will be dismissed. If convicted, the penalty for grand theft is based on several factors and determined by legal officials. It could include thousands of dollars in fines and/or jail time. Greatrex is a former chair of the La

Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), but vacated her board seat after missing three meetings to attend to her dying mother. At the Sept. 7 special election to fill the seat, Greatrex ran and was elected to a new term. She was present at the onset of that meeting. Greatrex was also chair of La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. until spring 2017, when allegations of misuse of funds were raised. At that time, Greatrex stepped down as chair, citing conflict with other board members. La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. is in the midst of a playground renovation, and is currently discussing layout concepts and will soon begin fundraising.

According to court documents, over the span of about a year, “Greatrex stole money belonging to La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. … She made out company checks made payable to herself or cash, and these checks were cashed by her through (bank) accounts.” The loss total was $67,935.86. “These checks contained just her signature; bypassing board policy of having two authorizing signatures,” the document continues. The declaration in support of an arrest warrant and warrant, deposed by San Diego Peace Officer Bernie Piceno, states that Piceno was instructed to SEE REC CENTER FUNDS, A24

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL

Leaky dumpster soils beach-access stairs in The Village

live in the highrise at 939 Coast Blvd. Like so many other residents and tourists, I walk these stairs daily down to the beach. The stairs are at the base of the alley between a real estate office and Smashburger at 1000 Prospect St. Something must be done to clean up these stained, smelly, greasy stairs and there should be a big, sand-filled cigarette disposal can to collect butts, placed there, too. The site is despicable. The restaurant has a large dumpster and I’ve spotted rats and bugs, etc. outside it. Last year, I asked the manager to do something about the food stains. New cement was poured, but the grease continues to run down these steps. — Cheryl Hintzen-Gaines, a La Jolla resident who cares!

Bird Rock Council grapples with real estate signs BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) has received complaints of excessive realtor signs being illegally posted in the public right-of-way on La Jolla Boulevard sidewalks and roundabouts. The sign proliferation, and what can be done about it, was discussed at the Sept. 5 BRCC meeting at Bird Rock Elementary School. Introducing the issue, BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar said, “These signs are in violation of our community code and the San Diego Municipal Code. It’s a serious problem. Last week, and the weekend before that, there was an intersection on La Jolla Boulevard with eight signs. These signs are positioned so they block the handicap ramps, and we’ve received complaints from people having to step out into traffic (to get around them) and people with strollers trying to manuever by them. It’s also a safety issue because they are a distraction to those driving along La Jolla Boulevard, who are looking at the signs. Plus, it looks terrible.” Dunbar said she understands the City’s Code Compliance Department “has a lot going on” and does not have a lot of manpower, and most of the problems occur on the weekends when open houses take place. Nevertheless, she said the problem “is getting worse.” When asked by a meeting attendee what could be done, Dunbar said “(My husband and friends and I) lay the signs down when we walk around. We can actually remove them, but instead, we take a printed version of the applicable Municipal Code and affix it to the signs and lay them down.” Citing San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 14, Article 2, Division 12, which reads “It is unlawful to … place, post, paint or secure any sign, pennant, flag, banner, balloon or similar attention-seeking device on public property or within the public right-of-way unless otherwise provided in the Municipal Code or specific state statute,” Dunbar later e-mailed La Jolla Light with the notices she affixes: “Open house signs in the Bird Rock Neighborhood and Bird

In other Bird Rock Council news

■ Pleas for repairs continue: City Council member Barbara Bry stopped by and the board took advantage of her

presence to seek help in getting long-delayed municipal repairs carried out. One longstanding request is to have the netting that surrounds the Midway Bluff overlook removed. When the Midway Bluff stabilization project was completed last year, orange netting was set up to help establish new plants and walking paths. “We got the orange netting taken down, but now there is beige netting. The plants have been established since last fall,” Dunbar said. Another request is for repairs to the uneven sidewalk near La Jolla Boulevard at Colima Street, which BRCC has been seeking for more than six months. There is currently an A-frame sign and orange striping to draw attention to the uneven sidewalk dangers. ■ Bry takes the mic: When it was her turn to speak, Council member Bry updated the board and attendees about the ongoing search for a new San Diego Police Chief. “As most of you know, Chief Shelley Zimmerman is retiring in March and the City is commencing a national search to replace her,” Bry said. “Right now, the City is in the process of hiring a search firm, but there will also be a number of community forums. Residents will be able to provide input in terms of the characteristics they’d like to see in the next police chief, and what they think the major issues are that are facing the City in terms of public safety.” The forum for District 1 (which includes La Jolla) will be at the Standley Rec Center, 3585 Governor Drive in University City at an October date to be determined. ■ More street benches: After issuing a call for donations for new artful sidewalk benches, Dunbar said the BRCC collected enough for two large benches and one small one, to be decorated by mosaic artist Jane Wheeler. “If you’ve seen some of her benches around town, they look really nice. It’s indicative of Bird Rock to me,” Dunbar said. A date for installation was not announced. — Bird Rock Community Council meets 6 p.m. first Tuesdays at varied Bird Rock venues. birdrockcc.org

La Jolla planners draft ‘granny flat’ preferences

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Ahead of the City of San Diego’s scheduled vote on a new companion unit ordinance Sept. 12, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) created a list of suggestions during its meeting Sept. 7 at La Jolla Rec Center. The City Council vote was taken past La Jolla Light deadline, but the result will be reported in a future issue. The ordinance, which the City of San Diego has modified beyond what the State of California has approved, is designed to loosen regulations on constructing accessory units to create more housing opportunities. The City Council voted to support the ordinance at its July 24 meeting during what is known as a “first reading,” but it will need to be voted again during a “second reading” on Sept. 12. Thirty days after the second reading vote, the ordinance will go into effect. Under current regulations, “companion units” of no more than 750 square feet are allowed, but the new regulations would

increase that maximum to 1,200 square feet and the new regulation would add what is known as a “Junior Unit” of no more than 500 square feet. Observing several ways in which the City’s proposed ordinance conflicts with La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance, Community Plan and existing regulations, LJCPA trustee Phil Merten created a “menu” of suggestions for the City. The board discussed the items on that list one by one. Merten said he is fine with companion units, “provided that they comply with current regulations regarding building height, setbacks and parking. They should not be granted exemptions. I am also of the opinion that it is important we come up with a list of suggestions so that if the City is going to allow buildings to encroach, we have a counter-recommendation to that.” The board voiced agreement with the notion that new accessory units be constructed in compliance with current code when it comes to major features such as building height, floor-area ratio and setbacks, and included it on their list of recommendations. Among the other leading concerns is parking in impacted beach and university areas. Current regulation says an accessory dwelling unit requires two parking spaces. With the proposed ordinance, there is no requirement to increase available parking when the unit is within half mile from a major transit stop or if the unit is one city block from a bike station. With a junior unit, creation of additional parking is not

LJCPA trustee Phil Merten suggests recommendations the board could make regarding the City’s accessory unit ordinance. required. In all other cases, the parking requirement has been reduced from one parking space per bedroom unit to .5 parking spaces per unit with a minimum of one space. Merten explained, “If you build a companion unit up to 1,200 square feet, the City ordinance is only requiring a half a parking space for each bedroom. If a 1,200 square foot space has two or three bedrooms, there could easily be two occupants in each room. … Parking is also allowed in any configuration, including front yards and

setback areas.” Based on the proximity to public transit, trustee John Shannon noted that with MTS bus route No. 30, which spans from Pacific Beach through Bird Rock, the Village, La Jolla Shores and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, new accessory development in the most parking-impacted areas would not need to include additional parking. Other recommendations included a minimum 30-day stay, to prevent these properties from becoming short-term vacation rentals; and that the property be owner-occupied. Questioning the political reality of the situation, Shannon said, “I wonder how much the City is going to listen to the community groups in terms of picking and choosing which elements to enact. … The reason this (ordinance) was put in place, was that communities were being too restrictive to build houses. What happens is, if we are too restrictive, they are going to steamroll over us. The City municipalities have been given this edict from the state that they must do this. Things are changing, this is what the state is telling cities to do. It’s moving the needle and accommodating the future.” However, with majority support for submitting LJCPA recommendations, Merten said he would draft a letter encapsulating what was discussed and submit it to the City Council. — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

How to WRECK Your Retirement by overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

Stanchions were placed at the foot of Playa Del Norte near WindanSea.

Planners ask City to evaluate WindanSea stanchions

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON In a rare move, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) voted against the wishes of residents when it comes to the stanchions recently placed at the foot of Playa Del Norte near WindanSea. With the support of nearby residents, the plastic post barriers were installed in an existing red-curbed, striped, no parking zone to deter the illegal parking and loud activities occurring there. The installation was approved at the June La Jolla Traffic & Transportation advisory group meeting, and completed before the LJCPA meeting the following month. LJCPA trustee Glen Rasmussen requested the item be presented for full review at the Sept. 7 meeting and the board ultimately voted to ask the City to seek other alternatives for illegal parking and activities. Representing the office of District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry, Mauricio Medina said the City worked with the neighbors and was involved in the decision to place the stanchions and that it would be redundant to have them re-conduct the study. Nonetheless, he agreed to ask traffic engineers to come before LJCPA to explain their reasoning and why they went with stanchions. “The stanchions were placed in an area where many of us who’ve lived here for a long time and surf go to, to view the ocean, the break at WindanSea, and the wave sets. We ought to have the opportunity to discuss alternatives to these stanchions,” Rasmussen said. “I believe a good alternative would be a three-minute white loading zone so when you’re driving down that street and want to pull over to look at the surf, you have a place to do so and move on. That disallows partying down there, to the extent the parking laws are enforced, and we all know enforcement is an issue.” Beach-access advocate Melinda Merryweather said the area has been used as a view corridor by surfers for decades and identified as such in the La Jolla Community Plan. “The idea that we’ve been blocked out from a view corridor by way of these stanchions (is upsetting). And it was done before this board got to vote on it,” she said. “I would like to see that corner opened back up as a view corridor. We live in a surfing community, just like Aspen is a skiing community. We need to think about our beaches.” However, Cynthia Chasan, speaking on behalf of the neighbors, and as a

LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

Nursing Home representative for the San Diego Police Department Northern Division Captain’s Advisory Board, and as co-chair of the La Jolla Town Council Crime Watch Committee, explained why the stanchions were posted. “In March 2017, I was asked by Police Community Relations officer Larry Hesselgesser to meet with residents who were having public nuisance issues impacting their right to peace and quiet. I visited the site on multiple occasions and on each occasion, the striped area was subject to illegal parking … and the illegal parkers were loitering and playing loud music from their cars,” Chasan explained. She added that residents have witnessed eggs and firecrackers being thrown at the condominium complex adjacent the no parking area, illegal drinking and drug use by minors and more. “These may seem like mindless teenage antics, but they are a public nuisance. So after working with police and traffic engineers, we brought this plan to La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation Board as recommended by the City,” Chasan said. Several residents spoke in support of keeping the stanchions. One said, “The stanchions are working. It’s incredible what they have done for our community and our street.” Another said the stanchions would not deter people from walking on the sidewalk to view the surf. “The City put in the stanchions, which have proven to be an inexpensive and effective way to enforce the law. It makes life safer,” he said. One resident was “out of order” and asked to leave because as a discussion over enforcement arose, he yelled, “The police can’t enforce what’s going on, but they’re going to enforce a loading zone?” The board supported the idea to have the stanchions re-evaluated. — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

City to remove DecoBikes from coastal communities BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Although the long-contested and loudly objected to bike-sharing program known as DecoBike never made it to La Jolla, residents can breathe a sigh of relief to know the City is removing DecoBike kiosks up and down the San Diego coastline, as part of a larger re-prioritization project. The City will now focus its bike-sharing efforts on San Diego’s “urban core.” The City is relocating 15 bike-share kiosks in coastal communities and moving them to the Downtown and Uptown communities. The City once announced that as many as 17, 16-bike kiosks would be installed in La Jolla. A memo was issued on Sept. 1 announcing the City’s latest decision. It reads: “The City, per discussions with DecoBike, will focus on expanding the bike station locations by increasing the use of bike-share for transit connectivity and short trips, which continues to support the City’s Climate Action Plan efforts and mobility hub plans. As a result, the City is proposing new locations in the urban core areas.” The relocation of the stations was to be completed the week of Sept. 11. The stations that will be relocated include ones at the Mission Bay Boat Ramp, the Pacific Beach boardwalk, fronting the Pacific Beach lifeguard station, Bonita Cove Park, Ventura Cove Park, Liberty Station and Fiesta Island Park. There are also two on North Harbor Drive, two on Mission Boulevard, one on West Mission Bay Drive, one on North Mission Bay Drive, one on Newport Avenue and one on Spray Street that will be moved. The City will present the new locations for

From the time proposed DecoBike kiosks in La Jolla were announced, community planning groups opposed them with near unanimity. San Diego communications officer Katie Keach said the decision to rearrange the DecoBike map was based on a variety of factors, “including complaints.” “The City continuously evaluates the bike-sharing program and has discussions with DecoBike,” she said, via e-mail. “The

long-term success of bike-sharing is dependent on connectivity and networks or hubs for users. Expanding the network in the urban core to provide a last-mile solution for transit riders and an alternative for short local trips was determined to be an appropriate move at this point. We will examine options for expansion in the future to other communities including the beaches.” On Jan. 30, concerned residents from La Jolla, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach gathered at La Jolla Community Center to speak out against DecoBike. At the gathering, led by La Jolla resident Cindy Greatrex,

participants listed the reasons DecoBike does not work in San Diego (and specifically La Jolla): 1) DecoBike has a series of negative reviews online, ranging from complaints about multiple credit card charges, issues with getting bikes in and out of kiosks, and difficulty reaching customer service; 2) DecoBike does not provide locks or helmets to users; 3) DecoBike offers bikes that are not recommended for the hilly topography in La Jolla; and 4) DecoBike is not practical as a non-car alternative because there are no large public transit stations in La Jolla. Of the withdrawal, Greatrex told La Jolla Light, “I’m very pleased that the City heard us out and responded positively to our requests, which were that DecoBike target small gaps in the transportation network, a feat achieved by focusing on our urban core and its network of car-free transportation and cycling lanes. The City also responded favorably to our request that certain pre-existing coastal stations be relocated so as to best support that premise.” The City of San Diego’s 2013 Bicycle Master Plan calls for “a bike-sharing program to offer cyclists the opportunity to rent a bicycle from an unattended docking station, ride it wherever they want within the network, and return it to any station with an open dock.” To meet the terms of this plan, the City entered into a corporate partnership agreement in 2013 with DecoBike LLC, which provided approximately $8 million in infrastructure investment in return for the ability to sell advertising on the bikes and kiosks.

Growing the Watch program

FROM CRIME WATCH, A1 has an assigned block captain. Above them, there are six area coordinators working with Chasan, who oversees the La Jolla program. She works in concert with Hesselgesser to get crime information out to residents. The coverage area under the La Jolla Neighborhood Watch group includes Mount Soledad, The Village and Bird Rock. In these areas, Chasan said there has been a reduction in burglaries. “In 2016, from January to September, we had 178 residential burglaries. In 2017, we’ve had 54 residential burglaries,” she said. “So far this year, we’ve had 41 motor vehicle thefts, but our 10-year average is 128 motor vehicle thefts.”

Tools for success

ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

Old Neighborhood Watch signs suggest the area is not being monitored, and the La Jolla Community Crime Watch committee wants them gone.

In addition to the communication structure, Hesselgesser said the “most helpful” resource has been the community-based social media site nextdoor.com on which residents report suspicious activities. “When it was introduced two or three years ago, the site helped us all come together and be more in tune to what’s going on in a neighborhood. The residents talk, that information gets to the coordinators, and that gets to me,” he said. “In year’s past, we had meetings and then the momentum would just die out after a couple of months because people wouldn’t communicate. Having the social media aspect makes it easier for people to know what’s going on in their neighborhoods.” Chasan added that improvements in home surveillance have made documenting — and sharing — criminal activity easier. Specifically, she advocates for in-home equipment such as “Ring” doorbells (which automatically record people who come to a front door) or other cameras. “We are capturing video of these people and we can post the video on nextdoor.com so people know what to look for; that’s made a big difference,” she said.

TRUST IN US — to — HELP GUIDE YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE

To further improve the workings of the La Jolla Neighborhood Watch program, resident and La Jolla Town Council Crime Watch Committee co-chair Catharine Douglass designed new Neighborhood Watch signs that provide more information to deter criminals. Chasan explained, “This sign was designed specifically for La Jolla. We found research that suggests if your city’s name is on the sign, it looks like someone is organizing the Watch, rather than it being a generic message. So we put ‘La Jolla’ on the signs and a note that reads ‘monitored video’ surveillance, and that’s different from other signs. “If we can get 10-12 residents to gather and have a Neighborhood Watch meeting and get a few to put in Ring doorbells, we put one of these signs in their area.” One goal for the coming year is to “get the decrepit old signs replaced” she said. “If someone has one of those (tarnished signs) on their street, I would like for them to contact the offices of City Council member Barbara Bry, who will, in turn, contact me. All they have to do is have a Neighborhood Watch meeting with about a dozen neighbors and we will replace their signs with newer ones.” Hesselgesser added that burglars casing a neighborhood will notice whether the signs are old and uncared for, or if they are new and specific. Another goal is to expand the program into La Jolla Shores. Chasan reports the first Watch meeting in The Shores will be later this month.

The need continues

Despite the improvements in crime prevention due to the Neighborhood Watch program, crime will still be a reality, Chasan said. She pointed out that by January 2018, San Diego is going to have fewer than 1,800 officers in the department. With more than 1.3 million people, San Diego is the eighth-largest city in the United States and the second-largest in California,

Settlement on I-5 expansion calls for rail tunnel under UTC mall

DANIEL WHEATON

BY JOSHUA EMERSON SMITH Those in Southern California may someday be able to ride the Coaster or Pacific Surfliner trains through a tunnel under the Westfield UTC shopping complex — a project that could shorten travel times and include an underground transit station at the mall. Under a court settlement between Caltrans and a small but influential local conservation group, a previously shelved plan to tunnel under University Town Center in order to bypass the slowest section of the coastal rail corridor between Los Angeles and San Diego is being reconsidered. A legal agreement to explore the idea was quietly inked in January as the culmination of a lawsuit filed by the Cleveland National Forest Foundation that sought to block the widening of I-5. “It’s a big deal,” said Duncan McFetridge, leader and co-founder of the foundation. “It advances a project that is critical to the state-of-the art functioning of the (rail) corridor.” While the tunnel project has been included in previous Caltrans planning documents going back more than a decade, officials have yet to act on the idea that has been estimated in the past to cost roughly half a billion dollars, and instead have put resources elsewhere. The foundation’s lawsuit, filed in 2013, alleged that Caltrans’ $6.5 billion, 30-year North Coast Corridor Program failed to analyze whether projected greenhouse gas emissions from the highway widening project would be in line with California’s targets to fight climate change. The plan spans 27 miles from La Jolla to Oceanside, including improvements to highway, rail, bike lanes and coastal access. The signature element is the $3.5 billion widening of I-5 that includes four new express lanes, two in each direction to serve carpools, buses, motorcycles and electric cars and toll customers. While the court settlement is a public document, the arrangement called for holding off on issuing a news release until the tunnel project cleared several key hurdles, including a feasibility study and a financing plan. Under the settlement, the foundation agreed to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot file another legal challenge on the same grounds. Caltrans also agreed to pay the nonprofit’s attorney fees of $220,000. The proposed rail project would tunnel for roughly 5.6 miles under Miramar Hill to bypass the slow and winding nine-mile section of track that loops away from I-5, through

Rose Canyon east of I-805 and north of SR-52. The foundation argues the tunnel and a station at UTC would greatly increase transit use in the areas, especially because it could create a transfer point with the 11-mile Mid-Coast Trolley extension that’s expected by 2021 to connect downtown San Diego to the sprawling job center that is University City. “This is an opportunity for change, and I think Caltrans sees it as an opportunity for change as well,” said Jana Clark, board member for foundation, who worked closely on the agreement. “Our hope is that if the tunnel goes in, there would no longer be a need for freeway widening in the corridor.” Under the settlement, the tunnel and the underground transit station are contingent on a feasibility study that would look at whether the project is physically and financially viable. To get a green light, modeling would also have to show the project would attract a significant number of riders who would have otherwise driven to their destination. “As part of the Cleveland National Forest Foundation lawsuit resolution, Caltrans has agreed to perform a preliminary feasibility study of the tunnel concept,” said Cathryne Bruce-Johnson, spokeswoman for Caltrans. “The study is in the procurement phase and analysis has not yet begun.” An initial report on the project was slated to be completed this fall, but Caltrans officials said this key document for determining whether to move forward with the tunnel has been delayed and wouldn’t be completed until late 2018. The agency didn’t provide further details. “We hope to get it started by the end of the year, and we expect it to take a year to complete,” Bruce-Johnson said. Caltrans and the county’s regional planning agency, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), have looked at the option of decreasing travel times by tunneling under Miramar Hill, either along I-5 or under UTC, but so far, the idea has garnered little support, said Linda Culp, A SANDAG planner. “A tunnel is very expensive,” she said. “It comes to trade-offs. Our board made a decision to invest in double tracking so we could add more stations, add more trains, in lieu of, say, tunnels.” SANDAG is now looking for financing to complete double tracking on the loop, which faces delays along a section of the track where only one train can pass at a time.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Pedestrian injured in head-on crash with car A 51-year-old man was seriously injured when he was struck by a 21-year-old driver in University City at 9:13 p.m. Sept. 5. The pedestrian was wearing dark clothes and crossing La Jolla Village Drive. The driver saw the pedestrian and attempted evasive action, but struck the pedestrian head on. Police report the pedestrian sustained serious injuries and was transported to the hospital by medics. His injuries are not considered life threatening. Alcohol was not involved. Traffic division responded to the scene and are investigating the accident.

Veteran missing, vehicle found in La Jolla Police are seeking help in finding a missing veteran whose car was found in La Jolla, Sept. 3. According to police reports, Johnathan Steven Surmont was last seen at his residence on Sunday, Aug. 27 near Chollas Lake Park. On Aug. 31, Surmont contacted his ex-wife and said he was in a “rough place” in Los Angeles. On Sept. 3, Surmont’s vehicle was recovered in La Jolla. Family and friends report it is abnormal for Surmont not to contact loved ones. Surmont is a white

male, six-feet tall, 212 pounds, brown hair and brown eyes. Those with information are asked to contact the San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000 or SDPD Missing Person’s Unit (619) 531-2277.

Homicide down in first half of 2017 The number of homicides that occurred in the region during the first half of 2017 were lower than the first half of 2016, with property crime also showing sizeable decreases, according to a new SANDAG report, Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2017 Statistics. In the first half of 2017, homicides in the region decreased 14 percent and rapes reported to law enforcement decreased by 3 percent over the previous year. However, there were slightly more robberies (up 3 percent), aggravated assaults (up 1 percent), and domestic violence incidents (up 2 percent) reported. Of the nine types of crime included in the report, six saw decreases in the first half of 2017 as compared to the first six months of 2016.

Police: Pedestrian fatalities on the rise Police report that pedestrian fatalities are increasing in California as more people use

non-motorized means of transportation. Locally, the San Diego Police Department has investigated more than 250 fatal and injury collisions involving pedestrians during the past three years. In 2013, California witnessed 701 pedestrian deaths accounting for 23 percent of all roadway fatalities, that’s much higher than the national average of 15 percent. Following a Sept. 5 safety and education program police carried out, police issued these safety tips for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers must: • Look out for pedestrians, especially in hard-to-see conditions such as at night or in bad weather; • Slow down and be prepared to stop when turning or entering a crosswalk where pedestrians are likely to be; • Stop at the crosswalk stop line to give drivers in other lanes an opportunity to see and yield to the pedestrians, too; • Be cautious when backing up — pedestrians, especially young children, can move across your path. Pedestrians must: • Be predictable. Follow the rules of the road, cross at crosswalks or intersections, and obey signs and signals; • Walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible if there is no sidewalk; • Pay attention to the traffic moving around you. This is not the time to be texting or talking on a cell phone; • Make eye contact with drivers as they

approach. Never assume a driver sees you; • Wear bright clothing during the day and reflective materials (or use a flashlight) at night; • Look left-right-left before crossing a street.

LIGHT FILE

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON People may consider September and October to be “fire season” in San Diego, but in years past, fire season has started as early as June and ended as early as December and January. Nevertheless, with the conventional season upon us, fire officials want to remind residents about the Ready, Set, Go document with helpful information about what to do before a fire strikes. The 12-page document can be found at sandiego.gov/fire/safety “The best thing people can do is make themselves aware of the Ready, Set, Go program,” said San Diego Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Jeff Mitchell. “It’s an important thing for us to get that message out. Since we’ve started putting this document out 15 or 20 years ago, we see a difference in people’s preparedness.” Among its contents are an explanation for “defensible space,” how to make your home fire-resistant, the makeup of a fire-ready house, a fire action guide and multiple checklists. These include how to prepare your family before a fire (Ready) what to do as a fire approaches (Set) and what to bring in the event of an evacuation (Go). “These are things that are hard to research in the moment and good information to have in advance,” Mitchell said. For example, if you live next to a naturally

vegetated area, often called the Wildland Urban Interface, provide firefighters with 100 feet of defensible space to protect your home. The buffer zone you create by removing weeds and brush, and thinning vegetation helps keep the fire away from your home and reduces the risk from flying embers. Also, “A home within one mile of a natural area is in (what is known as) the Ember Zone. Wind-driven embers can attack your home. You and your home must be prepared well before a fire occurs. Ember fires can destroy homes or neighborhoods far from the actual flame front of the wildland fire.” Mitchell added, “In year’s past, weather conditions have changed, especially with the onset of the drought, that have brought the fire season to year ’round. Grass grows more with the rains and dries in the droughts, and weather is driven by fuel, weather and topography, so if any of those two come together in the right conditions, a fire could start anywhere.” He added people in La Jolla are susceptible to fires, but fires are more common in the back-country because it’s hotter and drier. “We do canyon fire safety and brush removal in areas that need it, and when we go door-to-door to anyone who lives near a canyon or an area exposed to wildland fire, we try to leave them with this information.” Mitchell’s typical post is in Bay Park at Station 25, but he’s been serving at Station 35 in University City, headquarters for services to La Jolla.

Barnard Elementary students pack supplies for a sister school in Houston, Texas.

Barnard for Houston: Kids Helping Kids

am a parent at Barnard Elementary School, 2445 Fogg St., in Pacific Beach. We are a public Mandarin school that is part of the San Diego Unified District. Because we are a magnet school, we have students from all over San Diego County, with many families

from La Jolla. Our school is sending supplies to a Mandarin school in Texas that was damaged by the Hurricane Harvey. When word got out that Hurricane Harvey damaged more than 200 schools and destroyed thousands of homes in the City of Houston, the families of Barnard Elementary immediately went into action. “Our school has a connection with the Mandarin Immersion Magnet Elementary School (MIMES) in Houston,” said Barnard Principal Aida Hernandez. “We share a love for the same language and the same culture. Every minute that kids can be learning is a minute that counts, so our parents were eager to help those kids get back to school as quickly as possible.”

Barnard’s PTA has been collecting new school supplies and new or gently used clothing for the families of MIMES. Three boxes have been sent so far and four more will be on the way next week. In addition, an Amazon registry was created (and remains open at amazon.com/wedding/share/Barnard-Helping-Houston) so anyone can send the most-needed supplies directly to the school. Damage to the school itself is thankfully minimal and was set to reopen on Sept. 11.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Council action to up ‘granny flat’ permits will move needle on affordable housing BY LOUIS RODOLICO n July 24, San Diego City Council took up item ITEM-603: Amendments to the Land Development Code & Local Coastal Program to modify citywide Companion Unit (CU) regulations and other items. San Diego is finding a way to accommodate the recent passage of California State Bills SB 1069 and AB 2299. With some modifications, Council voted 8-1 to move forward with the State bills and staff recommendations for CUs, moving to modify or eliminate many of the CU restrictions in its Municipal Code. Staff recommendations remove many of the barriers to building a CU in San Diego, but there still needs to be a second City Council reading (Sept. 12) and a final vote. On a personal note, in 2004, we were told a CU permit could not be issued for our property based on Code restrictions. Why was it so difficult to get a permit in the first place? Well, back then, Mayor Dick Murphy went on record stating that CUs are low-income housing and therefore not compatible with San Diego neighborhoods, and this view transferred down through City government. The State disagreed with Mayor Murphy and wanted CUs since they provide affordable housing and present a low burden on existing infrastructure. When Mayor Murphy resigned in 2005, we saw an opportunity to try once again to get our project built. Also, we were bolstered by Council’s 2006 vote to build the Regents Road Bridge, so it looked like emergency service times would begin to improve. We were also told the Development Impact Fees (DIF) we paid would be used to build things like the Regents Road Bridge. My father was a wheelchair-bound decorated war veteran and my mother needed auxiliary support to keep him living in a house. With Murphy gone, a better ear from Development Services and the State of California interceding on our behalf, we were granted a permit in 2006. We began construction in 2007, and in 2008, my parents moved in. In 2008, two CUs were built in the City; in 2016, there were 10. Council wants that number to go up and has embraced State recommendations that eliminate many restrictions. Once the approved Code changes go into effect, San Diego should be permitting

The Rodolico family’s 700-square-foot Companion Unit with porch, sits on a hillside in University City. 100-200 CUs and Junior Units per year. This will help move the needle on affordable housing in our City. At the July 24 hearing, it was clear to me that Council was looking for ways to assist with permits and other fees. They could consider phasing-in the additional CU property taxes over a five-year period. Development Services fees could be reduced if an owner picks a pre-approved design. Council could reduce Development Impact Fees, since CUs have a low impact on existing infrastructure. Given all the home improvements we’ve made with insulation, reduced irrigation, low-flow shower heads and toilets, high-efficiency appliances and LED lights, our house with the CU, is less of a burden on the existing utility infrastructure than our house alone was 20 years ago. Having your parents on your property means you can render support sooner without getting in your car and adding to traffic. Based on staff testimony, fees will probably not be addressed until next year, but the Council may be able to broadcast their intent this week since staff stated it would bring in at least an outline of possible fee reductions. According to Council member Sherman, the Coastal Commission may overturn some of Council’s decisions regarding restrictions on short-term rentals (under 30 days). Many Council members stated that CUs are for housing San Diegans and are not intended as

vacation rentals. Current CU property owners are required to live in either the house or the CU, and since they are not absentee landlords, they’re allowed to rent the other residence as they choose. But this may change. If property owners are no longer required to live onsite, than requiring both living units to be rentals over 30 days makes sense. Council spent a lot of time discussing this issue. Anyone planning to build a CU or Junior Unit as a vacation rental, should wait and see if short-term rentals will be permitted in their neighborhood. However, if you are planning to help a loved one or rent on a monthly basis, you should check the new Code out in a few months (Municipal Code Section 141.0302 with a date after Sept. 12, 2017). At the July 24 hearing, a person I sat near was also having problems getting a CU permit to assist his parents. The fact that it took us four years was discouraging to him, but with these new Code requirements more properties will qualify and delivery times should improve. There is a need for affordable housing and family assistance housing in San Diego.

OUR READERS WRITE Idea for fixing pinniped problem at Children’s Pool, La Jolla Cove Since La Jolla’s Children’s Pool and The Cove have become overrun by seals and sea lions, they have both been turned into cesspools and Citycertified bio-hazardous areas. A great deal of money, ink and frustration has been spent on these issues with no meaningful leadership or remedial action. The City’s position appears to be “Don’t ask, don’t swim, don’t care.” In the interests of good stewardship and finding a long-term, sustainable and low-cost solution to these problems, let’s make these beaches off-leash and dog-friendly. These beaches have become unfit for human use and consumption, so let us help rebalance these natural

ecosystems by letting our four-legged and four-flippered friends share these dilapidated and uncared for urban beaches together. The politicians have lost sight of the needs of the local community, residents, tourists, taxpayers and voters … so long live animal rights and the dog days of summer! Woof! Mark Pretorius

What gives at our local grocery store? The main grocery store in La Jolla has gone steadily downhill to the point where I find it’s not worth shopping at anymore. Ever since Jonathan’s closed, it’s gotten worse and we are held hostage to poor service and high prices. Let’s start with the lack of parking. The shelves are constantly unstocked

Gun owners question Bry vote The San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO) PAC, a diverse and inclusive 700-plus-member political action committee promoting Second Amendment rights, is greatly disappointed with San Diego City Council member Barbara Bry. After signing a San Diego City Council proclamation declaring May 6 as “San Diego County Gun Owners Day in the City of San Diego,” Ms. Bry reversed herself and voted to rescind the proclamation on June 13, when SDCGO appeared before the nine-member Council to express appreciation for their support. We are disappointed in Bry’s political flip-flop. Clearly, Ms. Bry is unable to rise above the political rhetoric to honor community members who support the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is about protection of yourself, your family and your dignity. To learn more, visit sandiegocountygunowners.com Michael Schwartz SDCGO Executive Director

UC San Diego’s latest proposed expansion plans are ‘insane’ A campus with 45,000 students and an increase of 3,000 to 4,000 staff is not what La Jolla deserves nor what the campus was ever to be, according to what residents were told when it was to be built long ago. There is not sufficient parking as evidenced by the number of cars parked in neighborhoods all along La Jolla Scenic Drive and Torrey Pines Road. The university charges $8 per day for parking, so students and others associated with the school fill our streets instead. There does not seem to be any way of stopping UCSD from continuing to expand and build ugly buildings to further the degradation of what is left of our Jewel. Traffic, speeding, trash, noise, weeds, beggars on street corners, and the lack of visible accountability or enforcement seem to top my list. If you live in La Jolla help clean it up! Bill Allen

Service Dog Branson will be missed La Jolla lost a special member of the community Aug. 29, when Branson, the service dog companion of Beverly Bica, passed away after a valiant fight against bone cancer. Branson and Beverly rescued a girl in distress in the ocean off the Marine Room in October, 2013. The episode was detailed in the Nov. 11, 2013 issue of La Jolla Light. Branson was a true hero who was loved by everyone he met. Last February, one of his rear legs was amputated in an effort to slow the cancer, but that did not keep him from making his friends and neighbors smile each day — and Branson smiled back at all of us. We are all aware of the toll that bone and other cancers take on humans. Let Branson’s life be an inspiration and a reminder that dogs, cats and other animals suffer from the same cancers as humans. The organizations and research facilities trying to prevent and cure these cancers deserve our support. Branson’s spirit and love will be greatly missed. Barry Schochet

speak with then La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. vice-president (now acting president) Mary Coakley Munk to investigate the alleged embezzlement. During such interview, Coakley Munk provided Piceno “various documents (including) … spreadsheet itemizing stolen funds, copies of unauthorized checks, copies of invoices, copies of e-mails, and letters to and from Greatrex,” among other items. Piceno’s deposition goes on to state, “During the course of my duties, I have learned the following information, based upon having read the reports of or talked with the named victim and witnesses, or by having read reports of or talked with other officers and investigators, who have spoken with the named victim and witnesses.” In the course of his research, Piceno said Greatrex’s personal accounts showed “21 unauthorized La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. checks being deposited into her accounts, and numerous cash deposits being made into her accounts.” An appearance warrant and bail were set in July for Greatrex to respond to the charges against her. “In my case this makes sense, I travel two weeks of the month for work, so they wanted to make sure I showed up, which of course I did,” she said, adding that bail in these circumstances is “very normal.” When asked about the theft allegations, Coakley Munk told La Jolla Light neither she nor other members of the Parks & Recreation, Inc. board, could comment on the situation, and more information would be made available at the preliminary hearing, Sept. 15. Greatrex maintains her innocence and said the funds in question were used to purchase grant writing for the Rec Center and other in-house items.

“There are no missing funds,” Greatrex told La Jolla Light. “The checks were made payable to me because they were reimbursements for the grant-writing fees (I paid) over a long period of time.” She added that the statement given that two signatures are required to cash the checks is inaccurate. A Light review of the LJP&R, Inc. bylaws found no reference to the number of signatures required on checks cashed. Her attorney Paul Neuharth reports he had recently submitted receipts to the District Attorney’s office showing where and how the funds in question were spent, which he considers to be “exonerating evidence.” He said the evidence would be heard at the Sept. 15 preliminary hearing. Greatrex said she questions the timing of when these charges were brought to light, given its correlation to elections at the LJCPA board level, of which she is part. The original accusations arose around the time LJCPA held its annual election, where Greatrex was up for re-election. She was elected to another term, but was unable to continue as a trustee due to personal absences. The most recent report on the charges became public before the LJCPA special election, for which Greatrex was again up for election. LJCPA makes recommendations to the San Diego City Council, Planning Commission and other agencies on land-use matters. “I believe this is about besmirching my name and removing me from La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. and La Jolla Community Planning Association boards,” Greatrex said. She again pointed to a longstanding conflict with a current Park & Recreation, Inc. board member, who she believes filed the charges. Greatrex is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 15 for a preliminary hearing, at which time both parties will have a chance to state their cases.

LJCPA trustees cast their vote for the Calle del Cielo project, which passed 9-5-2.

Planners approve Calle del Cielo subdivision, 9-5-2 BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The controversial Calle del Cielo subdivision project was approved at the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meeting, Sept. 7, after three sub-committee hearings, one special meeting and more than four hours of LJCPA debate (over two months). After hearing an updated presentation on substantial conformance, a sensitive issue for some trustees, LJCPA voted to approve the project 9-5-2. Project plans call for subdividing a 4.45-acre site at 8280 Calle del Cielo in La Jolla Shores into eight lots and building a house on each. The land is considered one of the last, large, open parcels in the area. The team behind the project includes developer Louis Beacham, design architects James Alcorn and Paul Benton of Alcorn & Benton Architects, engineer Tony Christensen, and landscape architect Jim Neri. The applicants are selling the lots themselves and the houses would be constructed when buyers are located. In past presentations, design renderings and guidelines for the houses, which LJCPA trustees favored, were shown. The houses, as presented, come with a Coastal Development Permit, saving the buyer thousands of dollars and the years it would take to independently apply for the permit. The outlying issue for LJCPA trustees is whether the City would carry out a Substantial Conformance Review (SCR) when a buyer comes forward and requests a building permit. The SCR process looks at any changes to approved building permits to determine whether the modifications are close enough to what was originally approved for the buyer to proceed. To oblige the board, land-use attorney Scott Williams said, “We’ve added language to the design guidelines, which says that any time a resident applies for a building permit — and not just when there is a question of substantial conformance — they have to come and give and informational presentation to you or the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee. That is above and beyond what the Municipal Code requires. So even if there is no SCR issue, an informational presentation is required. Even if the builder says ‘the home design is exactly what was approved,’ you still get to review it. That’s been added since last month to ease your concern; nothing is going to be ‘snuck’ through.” Further, architect Paul Benton wrote into the design guidelines that “substantial changes” include “any alteration of the architectural forms, materials, colors or finishes of the approved design concept as

Architect Paul Benton and land-use attorney Scott Williams speak to committee concerns. presented,” “any decrease to the approved building setbacks for each lot” and “increases to the approved gross floor area for each lot” among other items. Benton also reaffirmed his pledge to personally notify LJCPA when a permit building is applied for and who the project manager is on each house. With mixed feelings in the room, trustee Patrick Ahern said he doesn’t think “anyone will ever be completely satisfied,” but that the new modifications show “the applicants have done their work” and that “it’s a reasonable project.” Whereas trustee Ray Weiss said he was bothered by the informational nature of the promised presentations because they lack “force.” All said, trustee Brian Will noted, “Four-and-a-half acres in La Jolla Shores is a big deal. It’s a scary project but in La Jolla, vacant lots get sold with entitlements all the time and we approve them with no other assurance than the City’s normal SCR. We’ve demanded this applicant go above and beyond. I know the SCR process is broken, but it’s what we’ve got and I don’t think we can hold up this project indefinitely because we don’t like how the City does its job. The applicant has offered something better than SCR, and we have to have faith in that.” Will moved to support the project, and trustees passed the motion. — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Westfield UTC breaks ground on first residential tower Westfield UTC is expanding into the residential market, and has broken ground on a new 23-story residential tower at the intersection of Nobel Drive and Lombard Place. Slated to open to residents in 2019, the tower will encompass 300 modern studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartment homes. Among the amenities are a pool area with outdoor kitchens, cabanas and fire pits; a “sky lounge” on the 23rd floor; fitness center; underground parking and more. The residential development at UTC is Westfield’s first such project in the United States. Westfield is examining opportunities to create 8,000 homes on land it currently owns across the globe. “Being able to offer the chance to live in close proximity to great shopping, dining, entertainment, health and fitness, and workspaces, is very exciting,” said John Alderson, Westfield’s vice president of development in San Diego. “Westfield has been a dedicated champion of the UTC neighborhood for the past 40 years, and breaking ground on

The goal of the Center is to draw on the expertise of climate scientists like Merrifield as well as experts ranging from economists, sociologists, and engineers to urban planners and political scientists to document climate change impacts on the environment, ecosystems, and humans and to devise practical solutions to climate change effects widely regarded as inevitable. Besides sea-level rise, those effects range from coastal erosion and flooding to the spread of human health impacts and the increased incidence of Mark Merrifield drought and extreme weather events. “Mark Merrifield has an impressive track record of applying science to real-world societal problems and bringing people together to create partnerships across industries and governmental units to inspire smart, strategic decisions and actions that inform policymakers,” said UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla.

Scripps to aid in surf, currents, erosion study UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography will help lead one of the largest efforts in decades to understand the forces that influence surf, currents, eddies and the nutrients that are essential to the marine food chain. The $11 million project is funded by the Office of Naval Research, which is partly interested in developing safer ways for ships to operate in shallow waters. But the project is mainly focused on helping recreational boaters, fishermen, surfers, divers, coastal planners and engineers who monitor how pollution moves along the shore. “Understanding these complicated physical processes (occur) in the coastal ocean is crucial for everything from the health of our fisheries to pollutant dispersal, plus the science is fascinating!” said Jennifer Mackinnon, an oceanographer who is helping lead the Scripps’ end of the project. Scripps is working with co-lead Oregon State University, which says the project will involve up to 100 scientists from more than a dozen universities and agencies who will study the so-called “inner shelf” between Pismo Beach and Point Conception. The term refers to the area from the surf zone out to a depth of about 160 feet. This is where a lot of wave energy dissipates as it reaches shore. That dissipation affects everything from waves to currents to erosion. “We’re going to give this inner shelf region a complete physical,” OSU oceanographer Jack Barth said in a statement. The two-month project, which is about to get underway, will involve an array of instruments from airborne sensors to drones to satellites to seafloor platforms.

Bry explains Council action to regulate marijuana supply chain In a Sept. 11 decision, the City Council asserted local control over how it would regulate the complete adult use marijuana supply chain. The next day, District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry released this statement on the vote: “Regulating the supply chain will ensure that consumers have a safe and vetted product and will deter an illegal black market. By allowing for local government oversight of the cannabis industry, we can benefit from new jobs and a new source of much needed tax revenue for the general fund. “San Diego voters overwhelmingly turned out to pass Proposition 64, and it is our responsibility to put reasonable regulations in place that protect public safety and enhance our local economy.” ■ Have a La Jolla news tip?

The aquarium is run by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), which is close to choosing an architect to prepare conceptual drawings for expansion. The drawings could be ready by next summer. A public aquarium has been part of SIO since 1905 with the Little Green Laboratory at La Jolla Cove. Several iterations of aquariums at Scripps preceded the opening of Birch Aquarium on Sept. 16, 1992 at 2300 Expedition Way. The marine life museum will mark its 25th anniversary this Saturday with a plethora of special programming from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The expansion project is in its early stages. But current and past Scripps officials have said expansion could cost in the vicinity of $20 million. The aquarium needs an expansion and overhaul to cope with its own success. Annual attendance has increased by roughly 100,000 over the past decade, partly because staff is doing a better job of highlighting the research that Scripps scientists are doing in such exotic places as Antarctica. Over the past year, family memberships have increased by roughly 3,500 — reaching the 10,000 mark. The crowds have SEE BIRCH AQUARIUM, B4

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT On Aug. 31, after a year of renovation, the family behind Tasende Gallery in La Jolla invited friends and collectors to a special reception celebrating both their reopening and their 38th anniversary with “Signs of the Times,” an exhibit honoring 19 of the artists who have shown here over the years. The exhibition space is smaller now, but the show includes pieces by superstars like Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson and Fernando Botero, and a colorful ceramic totem by Niki de St. Phalle, who lived in La Jolla from the mid-1990s until her death in 2002. Also on view is a small bas-relief of the bronze doors Italian sculptor Giacomo Manzu made for St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Manzu was featured in the gallery’s inaugural exhibition in June 1979.

In pursuit of creativity

veryone has a creative strategy, a time when you can really let your mind go wherever it wants in pursuit of problem solving or the unleashing of artistic energies. Olof’s is mulling. Mine is wombing. Olof’s prime mulling time is in bed at night before he goes to sleep. Now that he’s retired and can work on programming problems to his engineer-heart’s content, he will position himself on his back and just stare off into space. For an hour. Sometimes two hours. Occasionally until two in the morning. When he’s found the solution he was looking for, a satisfied smile creases his face and he flips off the light. Years ago, before we were married, Olof offered to replace a section of six-foot fence on my property that had fallen down. I immediately suggested hiring him an assistant. But no, he said, there were some difficult engineering issues to solve and an assistant would interfere with mulling. And indeed, he would just stand out there, leaning on his post hole-digger seemingly in a trance. But a few minutes later (sometimes a lot of minutes), he’d nod his head and proceed. I know to never, ever interfere with mulling. The house would have to be on fire first. Meanwhile, I have always done my best thinking by going back to the womb. You make the bathroom as dark as possible then

curl up on the floor of the shower like a pretzel letting the nice warm water cascade over you. Close your eyes. Let your mind go. Regress. Remember the good old days. It used to be that the only limit on the length of time you could spend in the womb was the size of your hot water heater. But that was before the drought. It became politically and environmentally (and especially financially) incorrect to waste that much water even in the cause of creative pursuit. So I had to find a wombing substitute. Fortunately walking works pretty well, too, especially if it is on the beach. Even more fortunately, I live near a beach as this would have been a less successful strategy in Omaha. I’m hardly the first to appreciate the creative powers of walking. There is a wonderful Latin expression, Solvitur ambulando, meaning “it is solved by walking.” Let me take a short detour here to mention that in high school I studied Latin for four years and still have a huge fondness for the language. Well, the first two years of Latin anyway. Third year Latin (Julius Caesar’s description of the Gallic wars) was that a total snorer. But then I’ve never been into war stories anyway. Sadly for my high school sensibilities, chick lit was in its infancy in Caesar’s era. Fourth year was Vergil’s epic poem, the

COURTESY

Inga stuffing chocolate in her face at a 2,034th birthday bash for the Roman poet, Vergil Aeneid. More war stuff but at least it had a big fake horse and a hot babe (Helen). Sadly, 54 years later, I can quote all of the first three words: Arma virumque cano ... “I sing of arms and of a man.” But that does kind of sum it up (lots of arms, and a man, Aeneas). Already weary of the Aeneid’s ponderous dactylic hexameter a month into the school year, I was delighted to discover that Vergil was a fall birthday — Oct. 15, 70 BCE, to be exact. Keenly aware even at this young age that chocolate is an antidote to pretty much anything, I got permission from our Latin teacher to throw Vergil a 2,034th birthday party during class time. I figured everyone deserves a party even if they’ve been dead 2,000 years. Yup, that’s the photographic evidence right there: Inga stuffing chocolate in her face at Vergil’s bash. The phrase Solvitur ambulando is said to have originated from the Greek philosopher Diogenes in 4th century BC, and the concept of walking as a freer of the mind has been espoused by many notables including Thomas Jefferson, Nietzsche, Ernest

Hemingway and Thoreau, among others. It allegedly helps combat the effects of aging, although I’m afraid in my case that ship has sailed. Still, my best writing is done in my head as I saunter slowly down the beach with the waves as white noise in the background. A paragraph that I was stuck on slowly resolves. Great lines that the La Jolla Light will never print ricochet around my brain like ping pong balls in a lottery cage. The resolution of decisions that had been plaguing me seem to suddenly become clear. While the drought put a damper on wombing, now that it is officially over, can I start wombing again? Yeah, probably, but one thing that ISN’T over is astronomical water bills. So I can womb to my heart’s content if I’m willing to pay Tier 4 water rates and turn over my Social Security check to the water folks. I think I’ll just keep walking. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

change at the world’s poles to monitoring the health of coral reefs in remote areas of the Pacific. The aquarium has addressed the problem, in part, by opening a large interactive exhibit that focuses on the Sally Ride, the institute’s newest research ship. The vessel is named after the late astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman to travel in space. Ride joined the UC San Diego faculty after her NASA career, and became a beloved figure in San Diego for running an education program aimed at children. The new Ride exhibit lets visitors take a

virtual tour of the ship, and provides video overviews of its research, including seafloor mapping. More recently, the aquarium opened “Research in Action,” a small exhibit that replicates life on a coral reef. The exhibit is billed as a “working laboratory” where Scripps scientists can test equipment and techniques before they go to sea. “The San Diego community has come to rely on Birch Aquarium as a source for information about all of Scripps Oceanography research, not just a place to see marine organisms,” said Leinen, an oceanographer.

added to the building’s physical stress, causing problems. In 2014, Birch Aquarium had to close its popular kelp forest for a month to conduct major repairs. Additional repairs were needed earlier this year. The recent problems occurred as the aquarium was emerging from a period of deficit spending. Harry Helling, the aquarium’s executive director, said it has returned to the black, financially. But it will have to move slowly to pull off an expansion. “We would need to

raise money, gain community support, and go through the regulatory agencies, including the California Coastal Commission,” he explained. The aquarium is exploring the idea of doing the expansion in phases to avoid having to close the facility. Birch Aquarium has always highlighted the work of SIO researchers. But the subject has received increased attention since Margaret Leinen became the institute’s director in 2013. She wants the public to have a better understanding of SIO, which does everything from studying climate

J A M E S A U S T I N M U R R AY La Jolla, July 18th – Madison Gallery proudly presents New York City based artist James Austin Murray’s first West Coast solo exhibition, Light On Black. Black. Known for his large-scale, monochromatic ebony oil paintings, Murray’s work invites the viewer to look beyond the black canvas and see infinite colors and forms. His gestural brushstrokes create wave patterns which reflect light from the surface and provide a layered and wondrous landscape that is sexy and ever mysterious. The black paint becomes a beacon of light in each composition. In darkness there is always light...

The exhibition features a new body of work created during Madison Gallery’s inaugural Artist in Residency program earlier this year. As the first artist selected for the program, the collection reflects the artist’s experience in La Jolla and the West Coast vibe. Light On Black explores the visceral experience of light through new eyes and the chance of new beginnings. For 11 years, Murray was a firefighter, working in the South Bronx, Harlem, the West Village, and on the Lower East Side. During that period, he taught a class at Parsons and ran a gallery with two partners in Tribeca.

James Austin Murray is a graduate of Parsons School of Design, New York, NY (1992). Murray opened and managed the HartnettMurray Gallery and The Markham-Murray Gallery in Tribeca, New York. He has exhibited throughout New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and East Hampton, NY. He is a recipient of the Dedalus Foundation Fellowship Award for residency at The Vermont Studio Center, VT and has completed residencies at The Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild in Woodstock, NY and Bermis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, NE. Murray’s work is found in public collections such as Sofitel (Philadelphia, PA), Hotel Palomar (Philadelphia, PA), Four Seasons Hotel (Washington, D.C.), Omni Hotel (Nashville, TN) and Tom Ford (Designer). James Austin Murray lives and works in New York City.

Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California. Blouin Modern Painters Magazine has recognized our program for the fifth year in a row as one of the Top 500 galleries worldwide.

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Meet Nobel Prize recipient Roger Guillemin BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series shines a spotlight on notable locals we all wish we knew more about! Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar, friendly faces to bring you their stories. If you know someone you’d like us to profile, send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call us at (858) 875-5950.

t’s not every day you get to sit down with a Nobel Prize winner, but for this edition of “People in Your Neighborhood,” we spoke to 93-year-old La Jolla resident Roger Guillemin, who served as interim president of the Salk Institute for two years. Guillemin shares the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1977 “for the discoveries concerning the peptide hormone production of the brain.” The father of six and grandfather (with the first great-grandson due at the end of this year) is also a member of La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group. When affirming or confirming, he says “you know it all” and “of course” without an ounce of condescension, and joyfully recalls the first time he visited the Salk Institute campus. “I was invited by Dr. Salk, they were looking for new faculty to start a neurobiology or neuroendocrinology (department). I didn’t know about the place. When I saw it for the first time, I was so amazed. I thought to myself, ‘whatever the offer is, I’m going to say yes.’ And I’ve been here ever since.”

Where did you grow up?

Burgundy, France … I became very interested in fundamental biology and eventually that would lead to medical school. In France, you can start practicing medicine before you get the M.D. degree, so long as you have completed a certain amount of schooling. So I started practicing medicine and seeing patients.

How did your medical studies evolve?

One day, I saw that a man from Montreal named Hans Selye, who is the one who introduced the word ‘stress’ to medical literature, was giving lectures in Paris. I went, and I couldn’t believe what he was saying. It was hypnotizing. There were colored slides on the screen, can you believe it? I wanted to study what he was talking about, so I approached him afterward, and after some talking, he agreed. I took a plane for the first time in my life and went to Montreal. I stayed there for a year and studied extensively. There were about 12 people working in the lab. Three of us became ill with TB. One died, the other had part of a lung removed. I got meningitis. But it would happen that streptomycin was just introduced as a medication against TB, so I was admitted as a patient in the local hospital. I received a spinal injection every day for a month. It worked so well, I married the nurse that administered it, and we are still married!

What brought you to Salk?

When I decided to leave (Montreal), I had several offers for places to work and study. … A friend convinced me to go to Baylor College as a staffer in the college of medicine. That’s where I did all the work that led to the discovery of the brain molecule that controls the pituitary gland functions. We published papers on this, and one of them must have gotten the attention of Jonas Salk, because I was invited here to establish a neuroendocrinology laboratory. We kept working on these brain molecules, and eventually, we isolated and characterized the molecule. The first molecule was an incredibly simple and small one. So small, in fact, we thought we made a mistake. But we learned this was indeed the molecule that is in all our brains that controls the function of the thyroid gland. That was the beginning. Later, we characterized six or seven other molecules made in the brain.

Was that the work for which you earned the Nobel Prize?

Of course. Quite a few people in the world were trying to isolate these molecules, but could not for various technical reasons. That was the work that led us to Stockholm for the Nobel Prize. During the Nobel Prize ceremony, there were representatives from the Nobel Foundation and the king and queen were there. The king gives you a book with your name on it with all the Nobel

laureates and the medal, and when I sat down, I realized he had given me (co-recipient Andrew) Schally’s book and he had given Schally my book. We nudged each other and chuckled. We were not about to switch books in front of 800 people and dignitaries. So we switched books privately.

Where is the Nobel Prize and the book now?

I gave the book to Baylor College with the condition that it be displayed in a way and place where students could walk by, see it and maybe think, ‘He got the Nobel Prize, maybe I can, too.’ The medal is in safe keeping. I told one of my daughters to sell it when my wife and I pass away, and divide the money between her brothers and sisters.

How many children do you have?

Six — five daughters and one son. My wife is Lucienne. I’m 93 and she is 96 (chuckles).

How did you get involved with La Jolla Parks & Beaches?

I was reading in your paper some of the issues that were being discussed and wanted to get involved. One issue that is important to me, but not everyone, is the planned reservoirs. One is being proposed at a park near my home. In my opinion, it is a social tragedy and I’m not convinced it’s even necessary. That little park is going to be destroyed for years.

What do you like to do in your free time?

In my office, there are posters for the lectures held here in my name, which have been given at Salk every year. I made those posters. I was one of the first people in my lab here at Salk to use computers for graphing of bio-acids. I thought about putting color functions into the programming and creating digital art. So I made the images for the posters and I love to create pieces on the computer. I have some very early computer paintings in the office. … A couple of my computer paintings hang in the president’s office. Whatever you have in mind, you can put it onto canvas or paper.

Do you have a philosophy in life?

Help people. I really wanted to be a physician … I knew all my efforts would be to help people.

Country Day student seeks La Jolla Shores dog beach

ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

La Jolla Country Day School student Navid Massarat and his dog, Lexus

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON A La Jolla Country Day School student would like to convert a section of a La Jolla Shores beach into an off-leash dog beach and is drafting a petition he hopes will ultimately land on District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry’s desk for consideration. 17-year-old junior Navid Massarat proposes the area north of Scripps Pier for the dog beach. Other San Diego dog beaches include ones on Fiesta Island (15 minutes away) and Ocean Beach (25 minutes away), as well as Del Mar (15-30 minutes away, based on traffic). There are also dog parks at the base of Soledad Mountain Road and at Doyle Park. “The idea started two or three years ago, the first time I visited the dog beach in Del Mar,” Navid explained. “My dog, Lexus, is really hyper, and letting her swim is the fastest and easiest way for her to exercise and to tire her out. When I went to the dog beach, I also realized it was a fun way for her and I to spend time together and bond. I had fun, I got to swim. I invited friends to bring their dogs. “The problem is that I live here in La Jolla and the only time you can bring your dog to La Jolla Shores is between 4 p.m. and 9 a.m. November to March, and 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. April to October. A dog must be leashed at all other times. So there isn’t a time you can bring your dog to your local beaches. From there, I realized a dog beach could be a great improvement to the community.” To determine the issues that could come with a dog beach and address them in his proposal, Navid reached out to Del Mar lifeguards. Among the concerns he discovered are the “rare” instances of a dog biting a person, environmental impacts, and owners not cleaning up after their dogs. The answer to most of these, Navid thinks, is

location. “Lifeguards said dogs biting or bothering people was generally rare and it would be nothing out of the ordinary to get law enforcement if the situation was out of hand,” he said. “One of the aspects my petition would consider would be to limit the beach to north of Scripps Pier. That negates one of the big concerns of dogs running over tourists or getting in the way of other beach activities. It’s closed off. To the north, you have rocks that you can’t cross when the tide comes in. To the south is the Pier, so this would limit the dogs to this one area and the dogs won’t interfere with beach-goers.” He added that other than picking up the dog’s waste, lifeguards said there are no environmental impacts. “I wouldn’t want to speak for other dog owners, but the dog beaches are rare and special. If you look at Del Mar and Fiesta Island, they are clean because dog owners pick up after their dogs. They do not want to lose that special place to take their dog,” he said. In 2014, a similar proposal for off-leash hours on the beach was introduced, but for Marine Street Beach. Facing backlash over several community hearings, the proposal was withdrawn. But Navid said he hopes his proposal, which may make the rounds at community planning groups, will be more successful. “I want to draft my petition, make it public and get enough signatures on it to take this to the San Diego City Council and Council member Barbara Bry,” he said. “In researching this idea and looking at how the laws would have to change, I found out the dog beaches that exist were made dog beaches by the City, so I’m hoping that’s where this will go.” Navid can be reached through his school advisor at jshulman@ljcds.org

Here’s how to pick a winner in the produce aisle: Part 1

t’s always humorous watching fellow supermarket shoppers perform a series of ritualistic gestures as they grope, squeeze, sniff, knock, cradle, shake and rattle a piece of produce to hedge their bets for selecting a perfectly ripe one. Of course, to get the best out of fruits and vegetables always buy in season, local and organic, where possible. Remember that some items will ripen further after they’re picked (like avocados, stone fruits and tomatoes) while others will not ripen after picking no matter how much prodding (especially berries, citrus and watermelon). Here’s an A to Z produce primer on picking winners for all seasons: Apples, the fragrant forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, and autumn’s crisp little darlings, have been revered by ancient peoples for millennia. Since that time, 7,500 varieties grown worldwide have been pressed into juice, fermented into vinegar, pureed into sauces, and baked in pies, strudels and turnovers. Apples of all manners should be firm with solid heft, and free of bruises, soft spots, worm holes, puckering and wrinkling. Try to select ones with stems attached. Bananas, a portable potassium powerhouse, give a quick energy boost, ease nerves, reduce blood pressure, and amp up immunity. To tell the ripeness of a banana,

! NT E R

simply look at the colors and spots on its peel. Unripe ones are green-hued, containing more starch and less sugar than golden ripe ones, which are conversely sweeter and less starchy, since the ripening process converts the starch into natural sugars, such as fructose, glucose and sucrose. A smattering of brown spots on the peel are still fine for eating, yet black markings indicate bruising, and these should be discarded. Cucumbers are a refreshing reservoir of water and silica with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to hydrate and rejuvenate. Whether slicing, hothouse, Persian, or pickling varieties choose a dilly. Cukes should be firm without soft spots, blemishes or withering skin, and also have a good heavy feel for their size. Dandelion greens at their peak during spring months are a Herculean source of protein, calcium, iron, antioxidants and assorted minerals. This high-fiber leafy green adds a pungent nutritional oomph to salads, smoothies or sautéed sides. As these greens tend to be slightly bitter, they balance well with sweet, dense fruits like mangoes, figs, bananas and papayas. Usually sold in bunches, look for dark green leaves free of spots or blemishes. Smaller leaves also tend to be less bitter.

Eggplant is a beloved nightshade throughout the lands, including the exquisite “aubergine” central to many French dishes, and the vibrant “melanzana“ incorporated in classic Italian fare. Leave the berry unpeeled as the skin has the greatest source of nutrients, but make sure it’s dark purple and glossy, without soft spots or bruises. Also, select eggplants with elongated “belly buttons” for the sweetest flesh, without bitter nuances. Fungi, the class of marvelous mushrooms once feared by mighty Roman emperors for their poisonous properties, are now treasured as an immune- boosting warrior with remarkable healing properties. Whether choosing beefy, buttery Portobellos, earthy, piney Shiitakes, rich woodsy Porcinis, or floral Chanterelles, make sure the caps and gills are free of moisture and mold, soft spots and blemishes. Stems should be soft, not straw-like. Take a whiff, and if you detect a foul odor, the ‘shrooms are spoiled. Grapes, nature’s portable refreshers should have a rich, jeweled color, whether green, red, purple, pink or black varieties. The berries themselves should be plumpish and firm, and strongly secured to a soft green stem. The presence of a white powdery substance called “bloom” is nature’s protective mechanism to ward off moisture that can cause mold, and is perfectly safe to eat. Heirloom tomatoes, so called because of their fine lineage with characteristics passed down from generations, including their gorgeous ugliness, divine Technicolors, patterns, and sweetness make them a rock star of the culinary world. When choosing

Easy Caprese ■ Ingredients: 3 assorted heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick; 1 pound, oval ball fresh or buffalo mozzarella, sliced 1/4-inch thick; 12 fresh basil leaves; 1/4 cup each virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or reduction ■ Method: On a large platter, arrange tomatoes and cheese in an alternating pattern. Scatter basil leaves, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil and vinegar. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

heirlooms, please don’t squeeze these delicate fruits, rather use your olfactory and sniff for a deep fragrant aroma. The bottoms of heirlooms should also be a darker shade than the rest. — Check out next week’s column for the rest of the culinary alphabet.

What to Do (And What to Avoid) When Renovating an Historic Property Buying an historic home can be an exciting adventure. There is something very special about connecting with history through the architecture and design of your own property. But all that history requires both responsibility and commitment from a homeowner. Historic homes often come with their own challenges. Age, in addition to adding character, can also damage or deteriorate a structure and its foundations. And historic features require specialized knowledge and, sometimes, equipment, to maintain and repair. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody, therefore, that maintaining or restoring an historic home shouldn’t be placed in the hands of just any construction company.

At GDC construction, we have close to 100 years of experience building, renovating, maintaining and upgrading some of La Jolla’s ﬁnest historic homes. We’ve built a wealth of specialized knowledge about the Jewel’s unique character and architecture, and we’ve spent ﬁve generations getting to know how to best preserve our regional history. Are you thinking of buying an historic home in La Jolla? Or are you searching for the right team of specialists to give your property a crucial makeover? Either way, we have some key pointers for you: Make a plan (with expert help) and stick to it: Whether you’re investing in a new property in the area or upgrading or modernizing elements of your current home, you need a solid plan from the get-go. Renovation projects are very different to fullscale restoration projects. So, schedule some time to sit down with an expert to talk over your options. Then set a plan in motion. After all, once you’re in the thick of a renovation project, it’s easy to lose sight of all the minor changes and add-ons. Be realistic: Experts like the engineers and designers at GDC can help you ascertain whether your historic property will support big changes or additions, and whether the character of the home will be maintained by the project you’re

envisioning. And we’ll help you understand the shortcomings and capacities of your home’s existing HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems. Work with construction experts who have done this work before: Working on an historic home is not always a walk in the park. There could be all sorts of hidden challenges and problems that inexperienced builders might fail to see. So, bring in a team with plenty of experience working on historic properties from the ﬁrst day. You won’t regret it. Hire an expert architect: You also want to ensure your chosen architect understands your vision, but also has respect for the historic value of the home. A great architect should be able to make recommendations and add to your vision for your home. GDC regularly works with some of the most well respected architects in the region. Maintain, maintain, maintain: If you own an older home, you must always be vigilant for wear-and-tear. Historic homes typical require more maintenance and regular upgrades to repair and replace outdated, faulty or damaged infrastructure. Look out for leaks: Older properties are especially prone to leaky pipes, which can cause mold. Mold can obviously be hazardous to your health, and can undermine the overall structure of

the house, making the property dangerous. Check for sagging: Sagging walls or ﬂoors could be a sign of water damage or a weakened foundation, which will need to be repaired as soon as possible. Amp it up: Check your home’s electrical panel for the amperage rating. If the house is older than 40 years and hasn’t undergone a major renovation before, chances are good that you won’t have enough amperage to accommodate your modern appliances, and you’ll need an upgrade. Follow the Rules: Renovation and renewal of an historic home is always an option, but you must always be aware of, and follow, the regulations of the local historic landmarks commission. Some historic properties require special permits for any construction work and the project may need to be supervised. Unapproved renovations not meeting with the guidelines may be subject to steep ﬁnes. Again, GDC has decades of experience dealing with historical bureaucracy in La Jolla. Don’t forget that owning a historic property means that maintenance and upkeep are ongoing.

STEVE WILSON

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Jennifer Allen has come a long way since her school days at Muirlands Middle School and La Jolla High. She’s gone on to a successful career in musical theater, and will be back here this month as Ursula, the tentacled Sea Witch in “The Little Mermaid,” when Broadway San Diego brings the Disney classic to the Civic Theatre Sept. 19-24. Allen, who left for New York City when she was 19, is actually a third-generation La Jollan. Her grandmother moved here during World War II to take a job at Convair, and her mother, the late Priscilla Allen, was a much-loved local actress and acting teacher. “My mother got me involved in San Diego Junior Theater when I was six or seven,” Allen said in a recent interview. “It was natural for me to do what I’m doing as far back as I can remember.” What she’s doing is playing a variety of roles in topflight musicals. On Broadway, she was the Mother Superior in “Sister Act,” Grizabella in “Cats,” and Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls.” She was featured on the national tours of “Ragtime” (as Emma Goldman) and “Cabaret” (as Sally Bowles). And that’s just a small sampling of her credits over the decades. She’s been in “The Little Mermaid,” on and off, for the past two years. “The show has been very good to me,” she said. “It’s a co-production with different producers, and it’s been enormously popular everywhere.” As anyone who has seen the movie knows,

I think people will be surprised and moved.” Allen said she’s glad to be coming home. “I have a lot of friends and family to see, and it’s nice to be back onstage here,” she said. “It’s great to be in the ‘Light’ again, too. I was in it before, when I was a child performer. This was the paper we grew up with.”

From The Jewel to The Grave

La Jollan to film indie project in town next week By Ashley Mackin-Solomon La Jolla native and filmmaker Kai Collins will return to her roots next week to film her latest indie project, “To the Grave,” a dark comedy about perfectionism in a small town. She’s been in La Jolla scouting locations since July and will be “cameras up” throughout The Village starting Sept. 16. Filming is expected to take about three days. The La Jolla High School grad is also co-writer on the Web series, “How to Survive a Breakup,” and pens some comedic “branded entertainment” for the American Heart Association. She just co-produced a series called “TEMP(orary)” about Millennials. “ ‘To The Grave’ is a dark comedy I dream about. It was an idea my writing partner and I came up with 10 years ago, and I’ve been itching to write and direct it since,” Collins said. “The story centers around two best friends who go to extremes as local women’s doubles tennis champions in a fictional town. It’s less a story about tennis and more about friendship and the extremes you’ll go to, to get what you want.” According to press material, Dana Powell (“Modern Family,” “Bridesmaids,” “VEEP,” “Two Broke

Geitz (Autohaus) was a household name for cars, and there is a character (in the film) who is a total perfectionist, so I pictured her driving a Mercedes Benz. It turns out my dad is working with someone from Heinz Geitz and they’re letting us use one of their cars.” Further, she said she asked family friends if cast and crew could stay in their houses while production is going on. “It’s the spirit of filmmaking and the spirit of La Jolla, which I didn’t see as a child, but I see now. We show up for each other,” she said.

Working with the City

La Jolla native and filmmaker Kai Collins working on set. Girls” and “The Office”) and Shannon Nelson (“Drop Dead Gorgeous,” “West Wing,” “ER” and “The Practice”) star in the film with Collins. Supporting roles have been cast with San Diego actors, improvisers and comedians. Collins said La Jolla “lends itself” to the project because “it looks like a perfect world on the outside — because it is beautiful with picket fences and beaches — but behind closed doors, there might be

something darker.” Plus, Collins saw filming in La Jolla as an opportunity to come home, reconnect with childhood friends and draw some attention to her town. “My parents still live in La Jolla. I live and work in LA, but this film had to happen in La Jolla,” she said. “I will be filming in places I used to be dragged to as a kid, like Meanley and Sons hardware. “When I was growing up, Heinz

As for what it takes procedurally to film in La Jolla, Collins said the City of San Diego makes the process easy for movie-makers. “It’s so welcoming. This experience has encouraged me to move more production to San Diego, to be honest. The process also considers the community and issues good neighbor notices … I still had to apply for permits and fill out a lot of paperwork, but in LA, they require a lot more for a lot less. They require fire marshals for scenes when someone is reading a book. “We’re not using explosives, so we don’t need that and the City of San Diego understands that,” she said.

Collins will be directing, producing and starring in “To The Grave” and despite the three jam-packed days of filming, she said there is nothing she would rather be doing. “I like to remind myself, that no matter how tired I am, we’re adults getting to play make-believe and making a living out of it. I just want to make people laugh. To me, that is essential.”

Marketing the film

Once filming is complete, Collins will submit her project to the film festival circuit, many of which have submission deadlines in October. She said she’d like to have “To The Grave” shown at San Diego festivals, but will start with one such as South By Southwest, and those in Santa Barbara, Palm Springs and Sedona. After that, she said she’ll play on existing film connections and, hopefully, partner with an online streaming network to make her project available to the masses. Could a feature film be next? “There is a feature film I wrote that has a similar tone to this project that I would want to direct, so this for me, is sort of a springboard,” she said. —Learn more about Collins and her projects at kaicollinsfilms.com

LET’S REVIEW

Laughter steams off ‘Last Of The Red Hot Lovers’ By Diana Saenger Who doesn’t like to see a good romantic comedy? That’s what audiences will find at North Coast Repertory Theatre’s “Last Of The Red Hot Lovers.” NCRT associate director Christopher Williams helms the 1969 Neil Simon treasure. The casting is excellent and includes Phil Johnson (Barney Cashman), Katie Karel (Elaine), Noelle Marion (Bobbi), and Sandy Campbell (Jeanette). We first see restaurateur Barney Cashman hurry into his mother’s apartment as he hollers out, “MOM?” With no reply, he hurries to remove some items, change others and place alcohol bottles and glasses on a table. Next he makes a phone call, and shortly afterward, the doorbell rings. He opens the door to his expected company, Elaine. He knows her as a frequent patron in his restaurant. Barney, married and nervous, has decided he needs to have one affair in his life. Elaine knows exactly what’s expected of her and makes little gestures signaling she’s ready. However, Barney seems flabbergasted and tries to just keep talking as if he didn’t even

know she was coming. After her departure, Barney has learned a few tips for a more successful tryst and again rushes through the room making changes and putting out offerings on the table. The doorbell rings again and he opens it to welcome Bobbi. She’s a looker, but also a young, giggly girl stoned and hopping around while making silly conversation. He’s so far removed from what she’s saying or proposing (like smoking a joint) that he’s out of his league once again. Barely able to get Bobbi out of the apartment, Barney takes some deep breaths. He touches up of the room before his last hopeful arrives. Jeanette is a small, stiff lady who is already showing signs of what-am-I-doing-here anxiety. The two run around the room as he tries to remove her pocketbook from her arms, but she hangs on like it’s full of gold. We learn she’s a family friend and the two banter back and forth, neither getting anywhere. However, it seems Barney learns a lot from this experience, and Johnson does homage to Neil Simon’s hit with

THIS JUST IN! Corridor Project Phase II delayed

The second phase of the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project has been delayed a few months and will begin in early 2018. The plan was originally to start work on the roadway improvements in the coming weeks. Engineers still plan to have the enhancements complete by Memorial Day 2018. The Corridor Project will address both sides of Torrey Pines Road between Prospect Place and La Jolla Shores Drive, and create continuity of the sidewalk and buffered bike lanes, install a pedestrian-activated crosswalk known as a HAWK signal, lay a flat median in the middle of the road and post a stabilizing wall.

UCSD launches transportation design challenge

The UC San Diego Design Lab started a city-wide civic design challenge called “Design for San Diego,” or D4SD for short. The challenge seeks to harness the power of crowdsourcing and human-centered design to address concerns with transportation and mobility in San Diego. Steven Dow, assistant professor of cognitive science at UCSD, who is directing D4SD as part of the Qualcomm Institute-based Design Lab, said the challenge is focused on four related areas: 1) Enhancing the commuter experience; 2) Promoting walkable and bike-able communities; 3) Improving accessibility; and 4) Preparing for a future with autonomous vehicles. On Sept. 21, the D4SD kick-off event will be held downtown featuring San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla and Design Lab Director Don Norman. The challenge begins the next day, Sept. 22, with a design sprint and hackathon, also at Downtown Works, for participants to generate ideas, form teams and rapidly prototype a concept. Teams that enter the challenge will showcase their solutions Oct. 25-26 at the Design Forward 2017 Summit in Liberty Station. The best solutions will earn prizes and private, one-on-one meetings with start-up investors. To learn more and/or register, visit d4sd.org

Nestled along La Jolla’s gorgeous coastline, 7025 Vista Del Mar is an extraordinary historic property that offers enduring elegance with modern flair. The single-story home boasts 3,210 square-feet—including four bedrooms and three full bathrooms—all sprawled on a 1/3-acre lot just a block away from the famed Windansea Beach, one of the region’s best surf spots. Its sheer size, layout and location make the property a rare find; but its rich history and character make it even more remarkable. Designed by renowned architect Harold Abrams, this 1936 masterpiece beautifully showcases Colonial Revival, a style that was popular from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. Discerning eyes will note its defining details, such as the low pitched gabled roof and accented 8-panel wooden entry door. “The house still has all of its original glass door knobs, custom wood work and one of the most beautiful wood ceilings I've seen,” said realtor Kurt IuliKinsey. “There are very few Colonial Revival homes and this is one of the very best preserved examples in La Jolla.” In fact, this home is Harold Abrams signature residential project. Long known for his commercial projects, this piece transitioned into the residential arena. When guests enter the home, they are greeted with a formal foyer that overlooks the quaint back yard. The interior is an entertainer’s delight, thanks to a kitchen that has been opened onto a family room addition. Also, the dining room and living room both offer lovely ocean views that are sure to make gatherings all the more enjoyable. “The home’s positioning on the lot make it especially conducive to capturing the ocean breezes, which is one of the best benefits of living at the beach,” Iuli-Kinsey said. Adding to the property’s appeal, it is located within the distinguished Barber Tract, a stretch of La Jolla’s premiere beach properties that date back to the early 1900s. “This home truly represents La Jolla at its best,” Iuli-Kinsey said. “I’m so excited to share this home with the public and look forward to seeing the life and care its new owner will give it.” An open house preview party is slated for Saturday, Sept. 23, from 5 to 8 p.m. The celebration will feature refreshments and live swing music courtesy of Sue Palmer, known as the ‘Queen of Boogie-Woogie.’ You can schedule a private showing of this home by contacting realtor Kurt Iuli-Kinsey at lajollasmanabouttown@gmail.com or (858) 848-5878.
