Materials, wildlife delay Children’s Pool lifeguard tower Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a federal holiday held the third Monday of January
By aShLey maCkin Issues with materials, design flaws and “unpredictable” wildlife are reasons the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower was not completed
on schedule, said Monica Muñoz, senior public information officer for San Diego Public Works. With little construction done since May 2014, the tower sits in a partially-built
state, which is how it will remain until June, after seal pupping season. Demolished in July 2013, work on the new tower was put on pause for the seal pupping seasons

The event — which offered updates on La Jolla-based groups advising the city on land-use, commerce and governmental issues — was the first this year in a planned series of four LJTC forums. The next events will highlight La Jolla’s arts and culture scene, charitable organizations (such as Rotary and Kiwanis), and churches and spiritual institutions, explained LJTC president Steve Haskins.

From LiFeguard Tower, a1 the exterior completed between May and December 2014, so interior work could continue through this year’s pupping season. However, a variety of issues caused repeated delays during working months, and now the work is on hold again until the end of the next pupping season. Muñoz said the small size and shape of the lot prevented the city from establishing a staging area from which to work, and the project was heavily reliant on deliveries. “About a month of construction time went by with no building progress because we didn’t have the rebar necessary,” she said. “When the rebar arrived, some of it was formed incorrectly and needed to be adjusted in the field.” To avoid further delays when construction resumes, Muñoz said the materials for future work will be ordered in advance during the pupping season construction moratorium. Other delays stemmed from a discrepancy in the floor elevation that was discovered once crews arrived. The plans represented the finished floor as being two inches lower than intended, requiring a redesign. The contractor will work with designers during the moratorium to resolve any further discrepancies, Muñoz said. To respect the wildlife, particularly harbor seals and seagulls, certain measures had to be taken that further halted construction.
rendering of the proposed lifeguard station at La Jolla Children’s Pool KMA Architecture And engineering
a seagull chick nesting at the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower site caused a construction delay from June to July 2014. Ashley MAcKin “When construction operations got too loud and ran the risk of disturbing the pinnipeds (seals), the environmental monitor onsite directed construction activities to stop until it could be known for sure that pinnipeds would not be affected,” Muñoz said. “This happened many times throughout construction.” After the previous pupping season (December 2013-May 2014), a nesting seagull chick was discovered on site. Per Department of Fish and Game code section 3503, “It is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird …” so construction on the tower was postponed again until the chick became strong enough to fly away.
“It may be impossible to prevent any nesting birds from entering the job site, but we will try by making periodic site visits during the moratorium,” Muñoz said. “Hopefully, human presence may prevent the seagulls from making a nest.” At the Jan. 5 La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, Justin Garver, representing City Council president Sherri Lightner’s office, said the project was not granted a waiver to work through the pupping season and therefore work would resume after the pupping season. He said the project is expected to be complete this fall, prior to the next pupping season. u

Police say robberies in La Jolla are connected CRIME NEWS
By Ashley MAckin Police have told La Jolla Light they believe the spree of commercial armed robberies (and one attempted pedestrian robbery) that have taken place in La Jolla over the past few weeks are connected, said Mark Herring of San Diego County Crime Stoppers’ Law Enforcement Task Force. Although each case is slightly different, Herring reported the suspect description as “black males (varying from one to three), age 20-30, between 5-foot-7-inches to 6-feet tall, with a thin to heavy build, usually wearing dark colored clothing, including hooded sweatshirts pulled up to their faces, and usually armed with a silver or darkcolored handgun.” On Dec. 16, 2014, the suspects robbed the La Jolla Village Lodge of an undisclosed amount of cash at gunpoint. The next day, police believe the same perpetrators carried out robberies in Hillcrest and at a taco shop near La Jolla. One week later, the Sands of La Jolla Hotel was robbed of approximately $800. Four days later, on Dec. 27, the Shakeaway milkshake shop on Pearl Street in La Jolla was robbed of cash. Within 20 minutes, the same men attempted to burglarize a twosome walking home from but did not get away with anything.

He also said he did not have enough details on the robbery of an individual that was robbed at gunpoint while at the Cove Dec. 21 to confirm it was carried out by the same suspects. The perceived targets are open businesses, Herring said, and most took place at night.
However, police caution that a robbery can occur “Anywhere at any time.” “We advise people to always be aware of their surroundings and report suspicious activity,” Herring said, “If a person or business becomes involved in a robbery, we ask that they be good witnesses and try to be as safe as possible under the circumstances. “Officers throughout the city have been made aware of this armed robbery series, including Northern Division.

Planners OK public café for Alzheimer’s facility on Fay Ave. La Jolla Community Planning Association By Pat Sherman During a Jan. 5 special meeting of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), trustees voted 8-2-1 in favor of modifications to the Monarch Cottages Alzheimer’s care facility proposed for 7630 Fay Ave. The community was at first torn on the project, with the LJCPA and its Planned District Ordinance subcommittee opposing it due to an initial absence of a ground-floor retail component required by the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance — the community’s blueprint for development. (The LJCPA’s Development Permit Review subcommittee recommended approval). Per state and federal law, the city granted the applicant an exemption from the retail requirement early on, due to its beneficial use as housing for disabled persons — leaving some La Jolla community planners feeling left out of the decision-making loop. Although the applicant had already obtained a building permit from the city, following the LJCPA’s December motion to deny the project was modified to replace a
La Jolla Community Planning association voted in favor of modifications to monarch Cottages memory care facility proposed for 7630 Fay ave. Plans now include an outdoor café that will be open to the public, added to assuage concerns about the project’s initial lack of retail connectivity in the commercial zone. Courtesy private outdoor dining area for Monarch residents with a café that is open to the public. “This is somewhat of an inconvenience to their operation,” said LJCPA president Joe LaCava, “but they’re willing to do it in response to the issues we raised. … If we’re not interested, then they’ll take it off and go back to a private patio dining (area).” Project representative Matt Peterson, who recommended his client add the café, said the outdoor dining space would comprise about 40 percent of the building’s frontage. “It’s a pretty nice, sizeable chunk in terms
of trying to activate it for pedestrians,” Peterson said, noting city staff has approved the café, which would likely serve coffee, tea, snacks and light lunch, though not sitdown dinner service. The café would not encroach into the required eight-foot width of sidewalk, Peterson said. Monarch residents would access the café via the memory care facility’s secured front entrance, while the public would enter via the sidewalk. Some issues broached by trustees yet to be ironed out include whether customers will
be able to access restrooms at the facility, specifics about the landscape plan, whether the kitchen would now be large enough to feed both residents and café patrons, and whether there would be enough parking. Peterson said the project’s conditional-use permit defines the number of units (24), beds and required parking. “We’re well above the city standard for parking,” he said. Although it’s expected that a cinema complex under construction across the street and La Jolla Music Society’s proposed concert hall next door will generate enough customers to sustain the operation, Peterson said if there are fewer than expected patrons, his client would likely lease the space out to a coffee cart operator. “I still think there’s going to be a demand … (if only) the theater happens,” he said. Although trustee Mike Costello said he felt the “substantial changes” presented warranted the project’s return to LJCPA subcommittees for further review, fellow trustee Phil Merten disagreed. “I commend you and your client for offering up this space for some public activity,” Merten told Peterson, noting that a coffee cart would probably be a more realistic fit for the space. LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson made a motion to approve the revised project, which was seconded by trustee Fran Zimmerman (and opposed by Costello and trustee Cindy Greatrex). “Please thank your client for being responsive,” Emerson said, lauding the compromise. “This is the way we like to work on things.” u

Planners add nine items to infrastructure ‘wish list’ The nine newsmakers:
La Jolla Community Planning Association Bird rock residents are upset that this large home at 5706 Chelsea ave. (as seen under construction in 2014), and others like it, are exempt from community review and the requirement for a coastal development permit. One of the items on LJCPa’s wish list for city funding in fiscal year 2015-2016 is to change this exemption process, eliminating a loophole that residents say leads to such massive development. Photos by Pat sherman Walk sidewalk improvements at Children’s Pool have largely been covered by private funding, with some additional city funds promised, while the LJCPA’s suggested removal of the fence above La Jolla Cove was alternately addressed when the city added a gate to it to allow public access to the bluffs. The items the city funded from the LJCPA’s initial list include a sidewalk at La Jolla Hermosa Park, La Jolla Parkway/Mount Soledad erosion control measures, replacement of the reservoir at La Jolla Heights Natural Park and the first two phases of improvements to the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project. At the urging of LJCPA trustee Ray Weiss,
tunein
the LJCPA added a footnote in its earlier request to fund the first two phases of Torrey Pines Road improvements, stipulating that the sidewalks on both the north and south sides of the Torrey Pines Road be expanded to the regulation width of five feet. “I spent two-and-a-half hours in surgery because that sidewalk is too narrow,” Weiss said, adding that people in wheelchairs do not have adequate room to navigate the sidewalks on the north side. “It’s a hazard, and it’s the only way to go between La Jolla Village and La Jolla Shores on foot,” he said. “Whether it involves (use of) eminent domain or narrowing the street, these are big issues that have to be dealt with upfront, not as an afterthought.”

By Pat Sherman Following up on the surprising headway it made the last time it sent budget recommendations to the city, members of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) added nine new items to its wish list of infrastructure projects and services it would like the city to fund and implement in fiscal year 2015-2016. The city only began asking community groups to list their budget priorities in 2012, although last year the process became city policy. From an initial list of 20 items the LJCPA crafted in September 2013, seven of them have been fully or partially funded, noted LJCPA president Joe LaCava. “When we did the list in 2013, I probably announced, ‘Don’t expect anything on our wish list to be funded,’ so the things that we did get funding for were a pleasant surprise,” LaCava said. Due to efforts of La Jolla Parks & Beaches member Phyllis Minick, the pending Coast
New items added to the LJCPA’s infrastructure wish list, to be presented to the office of District 1 City Council president Sherri Lighnter for consideration by the full City Council, include: 1. Funding a community process (and city staff hours) to revise La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance to be less ambiguous; 2. Funding a community process (and staff hours) to consider incorporating the La Jolla Community Plan into the Land Development Code, so that zoning for residential properties in La Jolla can be tailored to the community’s unique topography (as opposed to the current practice of applying generic, citywide zoning in La Jolla); 3. Increased funding for code enforcement, so existing regulations are effectively and consistently enforced; 4. Adding seagull-proof trash cans and solar-powered BigBelly trash compactors/ recycling containers to Kellogg Park in the Shores; 5. Funding increased police presence throughout La Jolla; 6. Funding the mayor’s pledge of monthly bluff treatments to reduce the La Jolla Cove odor; 7. Funding a community process to identify and implement traffic calming measures, such as suggested roundabouts along La Jolla Shores Drive; 8. Expanding the sidewalk at the northwest corner of Avenida de la Playa

and Camino del Oro in the Shores; 9. Funding to support revising the current categorical exemption process for residential remodels in the coastal zone.
‘McMansions’ vs. 50% rule The current process by which property owners are deemed exempt from obtaining a coastal development permit (CDP) has drawn considerable criticism, with many residents believing it has created a loophole spurring the proliferation of bulky “McMansion”-style development in La Jolla. LaCava explained that the categorical exemption process — which allows property owners to obtain a building permit without first notifying neighbors of their remodel plans — currently employs a “50 percent rule,” in which an applicant can bypass the requirement to obtain a CDP (saving considerable time and money) by retaining 51 percent or more of a home’s existing walls in their remodel. LaCava said one property owner left 51 percent of their existing garage walls standing, then built their new garage in another area. “As soon as the city comes up with a rule defining what 50 percent is, some clever person figures out a way around it,” LaCava said. “The simple rule of 50 percent is now an eight-page book about how you calculate that 50 percent.” LaCava said the city has proven amenable to a solution that replaces the 50 percent rule with an exemption that allows property owners to directly obtain a building permit if their proposed remodel is 80 percent of the allowed floor-area ratio (or less), 90
As part of its discussion on infrastructure priorities it will send to the city for possible inclusion in the city’s budget, the LJCPA is requesting that phases 1-2 of the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project include widening the narrow sidewalks there to a regulation width of five feet. percent of the allowed height, and has a second floor that is smaller than its first floor (preventing the boxy appearance of most so-called McMansions). Although La Jollans previously rejected this change in the exemption threshold, LaCava said the timing may be right to consider it again. “When we brought it here
(previously) the feeling was, ‘We don’t trust the building permit plan checkers,’ … but the city I’m pretty sure would be ready to fly with it if we said yes.”
13 on the back burner Existing, as yet unfunded priorities
identified by the community and LJCPA in 2013 include: 1. Scripps Park improvements (2009 plan); 2. South Coast Boulevard Park improvements (2008 plan); 3. Coast Walk feasibility studies; 4. Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project Phase 3; 5. The Belvedere Promenade ocean-view pedestrian project on Prospect Street; 6. Installation of a sidewalk at La Jolla Boulevard at Colima Street; 7. Repairing sidewalks throughout the Village of La Jolla; 8. Installing sidewalks at Pottery Canyon Park; 9. Replacing curbs at the intersection of Prospect Street, Coast Boulevard and Olivetas Avenue; 10. Implementation of the Fay Avenue Bike Path General Development Plan and Dedication; 11. Charlotte Park General Development Plan; 12. New park signage for La Jolla’s coastal areas; 13. Widening the narrow sidewalk opposite 939 Coast Boulevard. While it was suggested that the wish list might get unwieldy by adding new projects to the unfunded items carried over from 2013, LaCava said it is prudent to have a diverse list to match projects with sources of state, local or federal funding that are time-sensitive and earmarked for specific types of work. “The city’s been in a financial hold for quite some time … but the financial picture is looking better,” LaCava said. “If we can get the money, let’s grab it, let’s build it.” u

From State oF La JoLLa, a1 While providing an assessment of their groups’ efforts last year, along with plans for 2015, presenters emphasized the importance of citizens becoming engaged in the process — whether by becoming a member of one of their organizations, volunteering to serve on a board or merely raising their voices during monthly meetings, at which representatives from the city, state and federal government are often in attendance to hear concerns. “We provide a monthly forum at the beginning of our meetings (in which) anybody can come up and speak for two minutes on any subject,” Haskins said. “Sometimes it’s not pleasant, sometimes it’s pretty exciting, but there has to be that place where someone can go and say what they think and have community members listen to them.”
offering updates on their volunteer boards and committees during La Jolla town Council’s ‘State of La Jolla’ event Jan. 8 are: Tim Lucas, chair, La Jolla Shores association; Todd Lesser, chair, La Jolla traffic & transportation Board; Dan Allen, chair, La Jolla Parks & Beaches Inc.; Cindy Greatrex, vice-president, La Jolla Parks & recreation Inc.; Claude-Anthony Marengo, president, La Jolla Village merchants association; Steve Haskins, president, La Jolla town Council; Joe LaCava, president, La Jolla Community Planning association. Photos by susan DeMaggio LaCava said, noting that last year about 30 percent of the items on the LJCPA’s consent agenda were pulled for further discussion
(more than in previous years). “There’s often criticism citywide about planning groups — that it’s just the same
people showing up all the time — but I actually tracked it and we had over 300 different people show up at our meetings

n La Jolla Community Planning Association: LJCPA board president Joe LaCava began by underscoring the value of community input. His group, which advises the city on land-use, permit requests and infrastructure projects in La Jolla, averaged about 70 people per meeting last year (including one with almost 120 attendees). At monthly meetings, anyone can request an item previously recommended or rejected by LJCPA’s various subcommittees be pulled from the consent agenda for further discussion. “It’s an opportunity to take the recommendations from the joint committees and boards and drill down a little deeper,”

because of the diversity of issues that we address,” said LaCava, who is also chair of San Diego’s Community Planners Committee, the umbrella organization overseeing the city’s 42 planning groups, including the LJCPA. The primary function of the planning groups — whose volunteer board members are essentially doing the city’s work of reviewing and vetting projects, LaCava said — is to implement their community plans. Approved in 2004, La Jolla’s document outlines planning for everything from residential and commercial land uses to public facilities, parks and beaches, mobility, historical preservation and economic development. “Occasionally an issue will bubble up that effects an entire neighborhood or the community at large and we’ll go in kind of a more proactive mode, set up meetings and try to find out what the real problems are and potential solutions,” LaCava said. In 2014, the LJCPA and other community planning groups continued to advise city hall on their respective infrastructure priorities for potential inclusion in the city budget (LaCava helped create this framework in 2012; last year it became official city policy). Hot-button issues for the LJCPA last year included potential installation of additional cell phone antennas at Cliffridge Park in La Jolla Shores, and noise, trash and street parking issues resulting from the proliferation of short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods. An ad hoc committee of the LJCPA came up with a recommendation that the city

La Jolla Community Planning association president Joe LaCava, one of the event’s presenters, has also confirmed his intention to run for the District 1 City Council seat. strengthen enforcement of its existing regulation of the vacation rental industry — a mantra LaCava said he wants to underscore in 2015: “Less regulation; more enforcement.” “Easily 80 percent of the phone calls that I get in La Jolla and even on citywide issues are … about the lack of enforcement.,” LaCava said. “We have a good set of rules in our municipal code. What we really need is
the enforcement and we don’t have adequate staffing down in the code enforcement section of the city, or even our police department.” In 2015, LaCava said the LJCPA also hopes to make zoning in La Jolla Shores more predictable, increase public and private funding for infrastructure, and help improve communication between project applicants
n La Jolla Parks & Beaches, Inc.: Dan Allen, president of LJP&B, which advises the city’s Park & Recreation Department on plans for La Jolla’s shoreline parks and beaches, noted that a large part of his group’s progress last year — which included plans to remodel and beautify the sidewalk area above Children’s Pool/Casa Beach and replace the shoddy restrooms at Scripps Park with a more modern facility — have come about through public-private partnerships. “We appreciate the efforts of city staff to work with us, particularly in helping us find further funding opportunities,” he said. Allen noted that, during the recession, city funding for park maintenance dropped considerably — something his group hopes to rectify this year. “City Park & Recreation had sunk to passing the hat, asking community groups to pay for fertilizer for their parks. Well, now that the recession is over … we need to bring park maintenance, staffing and operating budgets back to the levels we had enjoyed in earlier years — and that won’t happen without advocacy on the part of the community.” Allen said LJP&B should be “more diligent” protecting large open spaces under its purview, including Soledad Mountain Park and La Jolla Heights Natural Park, which he said are home to indigenous plants and refuge to a variety of wildlife, though subject to intrusion by power lines, cell phone towers, reservoirs and unplanned trails. Additional LJP&B priorities for 2015 include

We want to educate and say, ‘No, you can change those things.’ … Let’s just make it something that you can handle … and let us privately fund it and put it together so that we can have something better for our community, better for our tourists.” Marengo also reaffirmed his commitment to lure business to the Village by helping owners deal with the permitting process and city bureaucracy that he said has caused some to leave the Village in exasperation. “They say, ‘It’s not worth it.’ We want to help with that, because it is worth it, and La Jolla is a great place to be and to be a merchant.”

development,” said its chair, Tim Lucas. This year, the 16-member board is hoping to work with the city to erase some of the ambiguities in its development blueprint, the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (created in the 1970s). The focus of the LJSA, Lucas said, is to “promote projects that are beneficial to our community, as well as provide the general representation of our community to the city and other organizations. “We don’t get paid for this and we spend a lot of time doing it, but we love our community,” he added, noting that in 2014 the LJSA became the officially recognized rec council for the four parks in its area: Kellogg Park, Laureate Park, Allen Field and Cliffridge Park. One of LJSA’s key accomplishments last year was working with the lifeguards to revise to city contract with commercial kayak rental operators, and to get the city to fund a long-requested ranger for Kellogg Park (which will also patrol Children’s Pool and La Jolla Cove). “We have large crowds in our park … and many, many safety issues there,” Lucas said. “Sherri Lightner heard our pleas.”

n Traffic & Transportation: Todd Lesser, chair of La Jolla’s T&T board, said people often complain about La Jolla’s streets without realizing what they can do themselves to remedy some of the problems. “The city really looks towards the community to mention if there’s a problem. … My job is really going out there and educating the public and telling them what can they do when there’s a problem,” said Lesser, noting that La Jolla was planned as an “exclusive community” 100 years ago — a design that has created many of the transportation challenges his board grapples with today. “The population has grown significantly. … Most if not every one of our streets is over-capacity (from) what it was designed for,” he said. “We’re dealing with the impact of that, and (T&T) has a constant battle of how to try and fix some of these problems.” Lesser encouraged people to report potholes on the city’s website, or to bring other transportation-related concerns to his board or the office of San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner. “We invite that, because we don’t drive on every street and it’s nice to hear from someone who lives there about what some of the problems are,” he said.

Morton Architects, touched on his board’s efforts to boost business in the Village. His group is tasked with using an annual assessment on businesses to devise ways to woo business to the Village, such as sprucing up the business district and organizing events. Beginning his second year as president, Marengo noted that the four-year-old organization (successor of Promote La Jolla) is off to slow start, though he hopes to gain momentum this year by educating the business community on its efforts, and urging business and property owners to keep their spaces clean, uncluttered and trash-free. “Coming in and taking on the presidency … from an architectural background and design aspect ... I had really big eyes,” he said. “We’re going to try and pick up what I got big-eyed over in 2014, weigh those with our group and see what’s worth keeping and what’s worth letting go. I think I come more prepared in 2015.” During the past year, Marengo reported, LJVMA has worked with the city and other government agencies to deal with the ongoing Cove odor smell and will work to create events to promote business in the Village — akin to those formerly under the auspices of Promote La Jolla. Under the leadership of LJVMA board member Nancy Warwick (of Warwick’s Bookstore), Marengo noted, the organization raised more than $54,000 for its Sparkle & Shine banner program to steam-clean the sidewalks and empty trashcans in La Jolla (which is ongoing). Marengo said his group also hopes to fund replacement of the Village’s shoddy blue-andconcrete pebble trash cans, though he said

father witnessed his son vomiting or learned about it afterward. Speaking with VOSD, Wachs, who was
later placed on suspension, disputed any prior knowledge of the student’s injury. Responding to questions from La Jolla Light via e-mail, Ursula Kroemer, chief public information officer for the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD), said disciplinary issues are confidential, although she said, “Mr. Wachs is not scheduled to return” next season. Asked whether the school district has reimbursed the student’s family for his medical expenses, Kroemer said she was “not aware that this has happened or been requested.” State rules require all coaches to undergo training to identify possible head trauma, and a new state late that went into effect Jan. 1 (Assembly Bill 2127) limits middle school and high school students to 90 minutes of full-contact football drills twice per week.

It was later determined the player (unnamed due to privacy concerns) had sustained a concussion. He reportedly has migraines so severe he has not been able to attend a full day of school since the incident. The story, first published Jan. 5 by the online news source, Voice of San Diego (VOSD), said the 17-year-old junior varsity player allegedly told assistant coach Steven Wachs that he was feeling disoriented, but was sent back into the game, according to his father and La Jolla High head football coach Jason Carter. According to VOSD, the student asked if he could sit out, but Carter said Wachs refused his request, telling the student to “suck it up” and keep playing. The boy’s

who suffers a concussion. Kroemer said SDUSD officials “take the health and safety of our students very seriously — both off the field and on — and regularly review our protocols to make sure they are in keeping with recommended practices by both the medical and athletic community.” All athletic coaches in the SDUSD are required to participate in the statemandated, CIF Program, as well as the National Federation of State High Schools Association’s “Concussion in Sports” course, and produce a certificate before they can be hired by the district, Kroemer said. “Starting next (school) year, they will also be required to take a cardiac symptoms class,” she added. “There has been heightened awareness of late on the issue of concussion-related injuries and as a district we are applying more scrutiny to our review processes. “Dr. Howard Taras, our district physician, has started drafting a concussion protocol that he will roll out with the (school district’s) Nursing and Wellness team (this) week, and then with all P.E. faculty/staff to better identify steps we need to take when it is reported or suspected that a student may have suffered a concussion. “This will be modeled after the CDC’s (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) ‘Return to Learn’
According to a Jan. 5 story by VOSD, La Jolla High School head football coach Jason Carter (pictured) initially denied that a player sustained a concussion during an Oct. 16, 2014 game. The injury, and reports the student was kept in the game, have raised concerns about the school district’s method of handling head trauma.

that required physicians sign a “Return to Play” form for any student suspected of having a concussion, Kroemer said. The proposed revision (which has made its way successfully through the CIF with the final step being approval by its Board of Managers) “would further provide that, if a licensed health care provider determines the athlete sustained a concussion or a head injury, the athlete is required to complete a gradual return-to-play protocol of no less than seven days under the supervision of a licensed health care provider.” u

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Scripps to check all visitors for flu symptoms
I
Actor BD Wong named La Jolla Playhouse’s artist-in-residence La Jolla Playhouse announced that Tony
Award-winning actor BD Wong has been named the theater’s latest Artist-in-Residence beginning this month. The multi-month residency program is designed to give artists the freedom to focus on their ongoing body of work, while becoming fully immersed in all aspects of the institution, from the stage to the boardroom to the classroom. In addition to developing his own writing and directing projects, Wong will act as a representative of the Playhouse and participate in artistic planning, education and outreach activities, lead master classes at UC San Diego and serve as a community liaison for arts advocacy in San Diego, among other Playhouse activities. “BD Wong has a long history with the Playhouse, and it is BD Wong incredibly satisfying to offer him the resources to develop his own projects while further integrating him into the Playhouse community, with a special emphasis on both new musical development and education,” said Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley. Wong is the second artist to be named an artist-in-residence. The program was initiated last year with the appointment of scenic designer and UCSD graduate Robert Brill.
A whimsical vision of Hotel del Coronado by La Jolla artist Gabriel Rayes
Artist ‘brightens’ hospital’s walls Examples of “The Playful Art of Gabriel Rayes,” will be on exhibit at Scripps Memorial Hospital, 9888 Genesee, Main Corridor, through April 2. The show will feature Rayes’ use of vibrant colors and clever distortions of landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Hotel del Coronado, Saint Basil’s Cathedral, The Arc de Triomphe, as well as calming Greek scenes, all designed to lift the spirits and bring a smile to the lips of patients and visitors. Rayes is a member of the La Jolla Art Association and his works are often on display at their gallery at 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, La Jolla.
s
n an effort to protect patients and staff from the flu, Scripps Health is putting in place a number of interim visitor restrictions at its five hospital campuses in San Diego County. “With cases of H1N1 influenza rising quickly in the area, we are taking precautionary measures to limit the risk of infection in our hospitals,” said Scripps Chief Medical Officer James LaBelle, M.D. “We ask that visitors follow these new guidelines so that we can maintain the safest possible environment for everyone.” The following restrictions went into effect Jan. 12, at Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego, Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas and Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla. n All visitors will be screened. Visitors displaying symptoms of flu-like illness will be asked to leave. n Children age 14 and younger will not be allowed in the hospital unless they are patients receiving treatment or have
appointments. This includes lobbies, dining facilities and common areas. n Patients will be limited to a maximum of four visitors per day. n Exceptions may be allowed by infection control and department supervisors for special circumstances. Scripps physicians also are reminding patients that it’s not too late to get a flu shot. Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent getting the flu. Other precautions include washing your hands often with soap and water; avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth; and avoiding contact with sick people. If you become sick, stay home from work and school to avoid infecting others. Check with your doctor to see if you should be treated with an antiviral drug. Avoid the emergency room unless you are suffering from more serious flu symptoms, which include trouble breathing or shortness of breath; chest or abdominal pain or pressure; sudden dizziness; confusion; severe or persistent vomiting; flu symptoms that improve but then return with fever and a worse cough.

La Jolla family to compete on ‘Family Feud,’ Feb. 9 By Ashley MAckin Those who watch the TV game show, “Family Feud,” 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9 on KUSI might see some familiar faces, when the Circuit family of La Jolla competes. Chris Circuit; his wife, Stacy; Dan Circuit, his wife, Darci; and Mandy Circuit will make their Feud debut, and called the experience of taping the show “fun and exciting.” The show features a competition in which two families must name the most popular responses to a survey question posed to 100 people in order to win cash and prizes. Chris Circuit said he and his siblings — all La Jolla High School graduates — watched the show for many years and when his brother Dan heard there would be “Family Feud” auditions in San Diego, they jumped at the opportunity. The Circuits are the children of 40-year La Jolla residents Richard and Lou Ann Circuit. After passing the audition, the family was flown to Atlanta, Georgia where the show is filmed, and where they waited with baited breath to be called to play. “We ran out — and they play the music to get the energy up — but it’s already just so high energy, and before you know it, (host) Steve Harvey is right in front of you,” Chris Circuit said. “It all went by so quick.” Although they couldn’t reveal too many details from the show, Stacy Circuit said a few family members gave some “silly” answers, but thinks it made for some entertaining television. The experience brought the family even closer together, Chris Circuit said, “We really banded together.” u

High school to collect e-waste on Jan. 31
A
t the seventh annual La Jolla High School E-Waste Collection Day, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, La Jolla residents can drive up and drop off their unwanted electronic goods. Volunteers will be on hand to unload donations at the end of Westbourne Street off Draper Avenue near La Jolla High. Acceptable items include computers, monitors, laptops, cameras, scanners, televisions/DVDs, cell phones, and small household items like toasters, vacuums and microwaves. Anything with a screen brings in the most value. Appliances and batteries are excluded. The La Jolla High PTA is sponsoring the event, with the help from students in the school’s Interact Club, and Cali Resources based in San Diego. Each pound of electronics will be sold to benefit the PTA. The past six years have yielded more than nine 18-wheeler trucks full of used electronics, just over 80,000 pounds! Everything collected will be shredded to avoid the landfills. Interested volunteers can contact Jane Wheeler at (619) 822-1120 or e-mail dwheeler@san.rr.com

Cadence Travel: Showing clients the world for 20 years
live, laugh, learn and pray
Don Jones, cadence executive vice-president of sales & marketing Courtesy
By Marti Gacioch Whether it’s for business, pleasure or employee incentive, Cadence Travel can arrange for its clients to arrive at a range of global destinations in style. Founded 20 years ago by La Jolla resident Wendy Burk, CEO, Cadence Travel has three distinct divisions: its Leisure Travel division organizes and plans everything from African safaris to a quick getaway to Cabo San Lucas; its Business Travel division manages the travel needs of Fortune 500 companies, and its Meetings and Incentives division caters to companies that reward their top performers with trips to everywhere from Hawaii to Paris, and all over the world. “We serve groups as small as 20 people to as large as 500 people,” said Don Jones, executive vice president of sales & marketing at Cadence Travel. “We just took a group to Bali, Indonesia, and we’ve even taken groups to Croatia.” Travelers booking through Cadence Travel receive up to $400 in valueadded amenities with most major brands around the world. “If you book a Four Seasons Hotel
through Cadence, the price will include breakfast for two people daily, a room upgrade, complimentary Wi-Fi and a $100 property credit,” Jones said. “The credit can be used as a beverage credit at a restaurant, spa or golf at a resort; that’s a better value than if one booked directly with those companies.” According to Jones, taking European river cruises is a hugely popular trend in the travel industry this year. “There are some great values offered now, including an Azamara Cruise that provides a European river cruise with a
double upgrade,” Jones said. “If you book an interior stateroom (no windows and below water), you’ll be upgraded to a club veranda stateroom that is above water with an outdoor space; this saves clients thousands of dollars.” Other good values in European cruises include a Viking cruise that begins in Amsterdam and includes seven stops along the Rhine River before ending in Strausberg, Germany. Every year Cadence Travel selects a charity to support, and this year they’re supporting Rady Children’s Hospital. The employees raised $5,000 for Rady’s at their holiday party in December. Based in La Jolla, Cadence Travel has 50 on-site employees and 100 virtual employees who work from their homes. u n Cadence Travel, 7701 Herschel Ave., La Jolla.

common sense, buttressed by decades of hard science. Following these resolutions could help ensure that you are around next year at this time to make new ones. 1) Stop using tobacco. This is the single most important and effective way to reduce your cancer risk. Smoking and other forms of tobacco use are linked to cancers of the lung, bladder, pancreas, kidney, nose, mouth, cervix, prostate and colon, to name just a few. Tobacco is a major factor in heart disease, miscarriage, ear infections, and asthma, even the common cold. The use of tobacco products kills more than 440,000 Americans annually. 2) Lose those excess pounds and keep them off. Being overweight or obese is associated with an increased risk of a variety of cancers, including breast, prostate, esophagus, kidney and uterine. It’s estimated that one-quarter to one-third of some cancers are related to excess weight. There’s a corollary to this: While much has been written touting the virtues of fruits and vegetables, particularly those rich in antioxidants, as cancer-fighters, there is no real, definitive evidence to prove it. 3) Exercise regularly. In addition to reducing weight, numerous studies have shown that regular physical activity
prevention repertoire. Hepatitis B virus infection and subsequent liver cancers can be prevented with vaccination. Another vaccine, which has engendered national debate, is the human papillomavirus or HPV vaccine. It can prevent cervical cancer in women and, more recent data indicates that it can prevent oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers in both women and men. If you were not vaccinated against Hepatitis B or human papillomavirus as a child, your physician can advise you if this should be part of your cancer prevention arsenal. 7) Don’t get too much sun. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. There are nearly 4 million cases of non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer diagnosed each year. Most skin cancers develop after age 50, but damage from sun exposure begins far earlier in life. To protect yourself and your children, minimize skin exposure to direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; wear widebrimmed hats and long-sleeved clothing or a swim skin or similar barrier while enjoying our beautiful beaches; and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. Skin cancers can occur on areas that are not easily seen, like the back, scalp, or the soles of the feet. Remember to include yearly skin examinations as part of your cancer screenings. u — Scott M.

y now, your New Year’s resolutions are at least a few weeks old and hopefully, they’re still in effect. Like you, I’m all in favor of saving money, spending more time with family, getting organized, taking trips, managing stress and helping others. These are among the most popular New Year’s resolutions, according to the federal government. They’re all tried and true. Well, mostly tried. While roughly half of American adults consciously (and conspicuously) make a resolution or two each New Year, less than 8 percent successfully achieve them, reported a 2014 study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. That’s a shame, but promising yourself to be less grumpy or watch less TV and falling short isn’t the end of the world. You can always try again next year … and the year after that. Much more pressing is the making — and keeping — of resolutions that reduce your risk of cancer. An estimated 1.6 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in 2015, a figure that doesn’t include disease types not required to be reported to cancer registries. There are no surprises in what resolutions work best at reducing the risk of cancer. They’re

significantly reduces the risk of some cancers, notably breast and colon. Regular exercise also improves heart health, helps manage stress and improves mood and self-esteem — all of which help your body fend off disease. 4) Limit your drinking. Alcohol is linked to cancers of the breast, colon, mouth, esophagus, liver and larynx. If you do drink, experts recommend no more than one drink a day if you’re a woman, two if you’re a man. It doesn’t matter whether it’s wine, beer or spirits. Drinking and smoking is particularly harmful, dramatically increasing the risk associated with either cancer-causing agent alone. 5) Get screened. Early detection is the best way to overcome a cancer diagnosis. Don’t wait until you’re sick to see a physician. If you don’t have a personal doctor, get one and schedule an appointment to talk about your health and disease risk. There are recommended schedules for different types of cancer screenings, which include mammographies, pap tests, skin examination, prostate-specific antigen tests, colonoscopies and now, lung cancer screening in current or former heavy smokers. In November, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released a proposed decision memorandum for approved coverage for low-dose computed tomography screening in this group, citing sufficient evidence indicating screening reduced lung cancer mortality by 20 percent in smokers at high risk. People with a family history of cancer, certain genetic changes or syndromes, should consult with their doctor to determine if they should be screened earlier or more often. 6) Get vaccinated. It is exciting that vaccination is, at last, part of the cancer

Research needed before hiring seal behaviorist Our municipality is considering the hire of a behaviorist to train the sea lions at the Cove to go elsewhere, based on the assumption that the odor detected in La jolla is from poop from sea lions. This conclusion is counterintuitive and may even be wrong. The sea lions haul out on the lowest rocks and many of them are subsequently washed for free by the sea twice a month at the highest of spring tides at new and full moon. alternatively, the pelicans and cormorants drop their guano higher on the slope where it is washed only when it rains, which needless to say happens much less frequently. Before spending money shouldn’t someone whose nose is more sensitive than mine determine which guano is guilty before attacking the wrong problem? Art Cooley La JoLLa
La Jolla’s beaches could become anti-people places as a long time La jolla resident and swimmer at La jolla Cove, I wanted to let you know of the poor conditions that now exist. While the ongoing construction causes concerns and inconvenience, it is not as bad as the closure of the bathrooms and showers because of the loss of the pump. apparently, raw sewage was flowing into the Cove before the pump loss was discovered with no notice to swimmers. The City of San Diego is spending millions of dollars for new lifeguard stations at the Cove and the Children’s Pool. However, with the ongoing dispute over the seals and sea lions, both of these areas are now — and will be in the future — unfit for human use. The stench is overpowering because of the seal and sea lion defecation that is routinely seen on the beach.

Given the recent death of a surfer three days after he surfed in the “staph-infected” waters off Point Loma, the City of San Diego might consider the real health risks to swimmers in our formerly pristine waters at the La jolla Cove and the Children’s Pool. Several years ago I appeared before the San Diego City Council to posit — on the record — the obvious unwisdom of spending millions of dollars to build a new lifeguard station and restrooms where the only view was over an area where swimmers would not be allowed and where the only water creatures available for rescue would be the seals. Clearly, the pinheads and the pinnipeds are of one mind. Our elected officials remain asleep at the switch. Given the current state of affairs, it now appears inevitable that future “viewing opportunities” for sea lions and seals could create a second cottage industry: an expanded opportunity for “viewings” of deceased swimmers. r.I.P.

was walking along the Coast Walk Trail off of Torrey Pines road. Halfway though the trail, just west of the white staircase and bridge, I witnessed a man slip off the grass and slide 10 feet down the cliff. Luckily, he did not fall into the ocean; he was trapped by dead branches at the edge of the cliff. He was in a lot of pain and couldn’t move so his wife and I called 911. The paramedic team was at the scene in minutes, and handled the situation extremely well. While I do not know the outcome for this man, who was a 60-yearold tourist from Sweden, I can only hope he left the hospital with just a few scratches. after speaking with residents who live near the Coast Walk, I’ve learned that these accidents along the trail are rare but still happen on occasion. There are chains meant to keep all hikers on the trail, but I think that La jolla can do more to prevent these tragedies from happening again. as a preventative measure, I suggest the implementation of caution signs along to trail to warn all hikers to be wary of the cliffs. I have walked this trail countless times during my visits here and have yet to see any warnings of the cliff. La jolla brings in many tourists from all over the world, and many do not speak English, so I propose that these signs use images for all to understand. With these safety measures in place, I hope that residents and tourists alike can continue to enjoy the stunning views that the Coast Walk Trail has to offer without compromising their safety.

Swimming at both of these areas is becoming a health hazard when it is allowed at all. It is unfortunate that the city is doing so little to return these areas to the popular public use they’ve had until recently. While it appears that the use of the Children’s Pool is a lost cause, the same result should not happen to the La jolla Cove. If you haven’t been down to the Cove, I suggest you take the opportunity to inspect the area for yourself. Bruce W. Beach La JoLLa

Seal lion island would solve shore odor issue I visit La Jolla with family and, of course, have noticed the smell in town from the restaurants close to the “seal lion rocks.” Long ago, I made a suggestion in the newspaper to build a large floating island off shore, and perhaps the seal lions would use it as a new home. There could be ramps for them to get onto the island. Of course, with the fish hiding under such a contraption it should be a very popular sea lion sanctuary. Then, put something on the present sanctuary that the seal lions don’t want to be around — such as low whale noises or noises made by whatever eats seal lions. Problem solved! You will still have a tourist attraction, but a good one!
Also, construct a sprinkling pump system to come on at specified number of times each day to wash away the feces, etc., so that very little smell exists. Earle Callahan Coronado retired Cdr U.S. navy Carrier aviator
Where can one donate old resource books? From the article about the San Diego Book Project in the Jan. 8 La Jolla Light, I gather that the project does not want people to donate old books for the most part as no information was given about this. It would be useful to have an article on where to donate books that could be re-used as the Book Man off El Cajon Boulevard
used to do. Is there another group like this? I have many old scientific books, Encyclopedia Britannica and Book of Knowledge books that would be useful to someone. The Book Man’s website gives a church as a place to take books, but I rather doubt it would pursue the same sort of book distribution to people and places that need them. Ann Heinemann La JoLLa Editor’s Note: For starters, books can always be donated to the La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. Readers who know other places for used books can e-mail the information to editor@lajollalight.com and we’ll print the list in an upcoming issue.

OBITUARIES
Tara K. Wirtz 1972 – 2014
Tara K. Wirtz, 42, died at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 31, 2014, from cardiac arrest while doing something she loved, exercising at the gym with her husband after a day’s ski with her two sons in Deer Valley, Utah. Tara was born May 8, 1972, in Dearborn, Michigan; graduated with honors at both Poway High School class of 1990 and UC Santa Barbara class of 1994. She then worked as a teacher at Black Mountain Middle School for years before becoming a mother. She truly cared for her students, often using her own time and money to provide free lunches for her underprivileged students. An accomplished runner since high school, she has completed dozens of marathons, including the Boston Marathon six times. Always having the drive and motivation to stay active and excel, she was also an avid skier; recently competing in the NASTAR ski race with her two
sons, all winning national medals. Long time resident of La Jolla, Tara moved to San Diego at the age of 10. She has been an active and contributing member of the community, often volunteering much of her time and effort to charitable organizations and La Jolla Country Day School. She is survived by her husband, Dr. Chong Chiu; two sons, Kevin and Keanan; mother, Aggie O’Malley; and brother, Brian Wirtz. As many have witnessed, Tara always put her family first. She showed us not to measure life by length, but by the level of passion, quality, generosity, and fierce love. Her family believes Tara becomes an Angel. Her wishes and passion survive through the Angel Tara for Evergreen Children Foundation, providing evening food for underprivileged children. Services will be held at 10 am, Saturday, January 17, 2015, at the Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church. A reception will immediately follow at 11am in the Church Hall.

Andrew Dennis Hibbs 1963 – 2015
Andrew Hibbs was born in 1963 in Shrewsbury, England. He was raised in the English midlands town of Derby, where, surrounded by a large, loving family, he showed early signs of scientific genius. He attended Cambridge University in England where he pursued degrees in both engineering and physics while acting as the captain of his rowing crew at Christ College, coaching girls rowing and tutoring
other students in math and physics. When he received his PhD in engineering and physics, he was offered a fellowship at Cambridge University, which was an exceptional honor which this young man of 24 declined in favor of pursuing a career in high technology in San Diego, California. It had been his dream, from the time he was a child, to leave the constant rains of England and to live his life as if on vacation, in a sunny place with a beautiful beach. To that end, he packed up his belongings and moved to La Jolla with his new wife, Susan, in 1989. This marriage between two young people did not survive long, but produced a son, Stephen Andrew Hibbs, who would be a joy to his father and to his father’s later wife and children. While working in high technology in high level positions at local firms such as Quantum Magnetics, Invision, and ISL, Andrew pursued his dream of owning his own business, beginning at first in his home office in his small house in Pacific Beach. He would fulfill that dream many times over, founding at least five high technology companies based on his inventions, beginning with QUASAR, or Quantum Applied Science and Research, in 1998. QUASAR Federal Systems, Advanced Neurometrics, GroundMetrics and Electronic BioSciences followed, all of which
remain active and innovative companies to this date. Andrews innovations and inventions are too numerous to list. Earlier in his career, he worked on landmine detection and explosives detection for airline security and his later innovations include sensing systems for applications ranging from sniper detection, lightning strike location, heart and brain signal collection, DNA sequencing, epilepsy monitoring and oil exploration and production. Andrew was a frequent contributor to scientific journals and conferences and was an inventor on a large number of high tech patents. His many awards include the R&D 100 Award in 1992 and 1995 and “Person of the Year” by Superconductor Weekly in 1994. He received both the TR 100 Award from MIT Technology Review and the Technology Innovation of the Year Award from Aviation Week & Space Technology in 1997, Technology of the Year Award, Sensors Category, SBIR in 1998, Grand Winner of the SBIR Technology of the Year award in 1999, and a third R&D 100 Award in 2010. His most recent award was Gold at the World’s Best Technology Marketplace competition. Although Andrew worked exceptionally hard running and guiding his businesses, he never forgot what truly mattered. He continued to love the sun and the beach all of his

life, visiting it often to body surf and play in the waves with his children, and to run on the beach at sunset. He married his second wife, Mary, in 1995 and they settled in the Mount Soledad area of La Jolla to raise their children, Lauren Amalie Hibbs, 16 and a junior at La Jolla High School, Aden Maxwell Hibbs, 14 and a freshman at La Jolla High School, and Tabitha Elizabeth Hibbs, 10, who is in 5th grade at La Jolla Elementary School. He was a technological genius, but his family will always remember his softer side, his silly running jokes, and his love of games, gardening and travel. He had a great capacity for joy and love, and he will be sorely missed by his family and friends. Andrew maintained an exceptional level of fitness throughout his life, making his sudden passing at the relatively young age of 51 an incredible shock to those who knew him. He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Mary; children, Stephen, Lauren, Aden and Tabitha; mother, Pauline; father, Dennis; brother, Antony; and sister, Alexandra. His family would like to thank the community of La Jolla for the tremendous outpouring of love, sympathy and care taking which they have received in their time of grief and need.

Cluster Association champions inter-school links and more By Ashley MAckin t’s been six months since the La Jolla Cluster Association (LJCA) — a collective of educators and parent volunteers from La Jolla’s five public schools — reached its Partnership Agreement with San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). With the completion of that formidable task, LJCA efforts are now redirected to exploring ways to improve school programs. The Agreement was three years in the making and gives the Cluster representing La Jolla High School, Muirlands Middle School, La Jolla Elementary School, Torrey Pines Elementary School and Bird Rock Elementary School the ability to make decisions and changes for the betterment of students, said Donna Tripi, principal at La Jolla Elementary School and Partnership Agreement co-chair. “Once we organized as a Cluster Association, we wanted to affirm our role with the district, so we formed the Partnership Agreement,” she said. “Now we can say that if we feel that our kids have needs we need to look at — some need the district is not meeting — we have some flexibility and we can talk to the district and put in a program to meet those needs. We’re just beginning that work and looking at what those needs are.” LJCA board member Fran Shimp said the decision to form a Partnership Agreement spawned from teachers disliking the onesize-fits-all approach SDUSD was using. “A lot of our educators did not agree with some of the mandates the district was saying they had to follow,” Shimp said. “So originally, we were trying to find a way to give our educators a way to do what they thought best with regards to educating our children.” Although Shimp said LJCA has a great relationship with SDUSD superintendent Cindy Marten, “that hasn’t always been the

File case and I would like to think this agreement helps protect us if, in the future, that is not the case.” In addition to drafting the terms of the agreement, the now 25-person LJCA meets monthly to schedule parent education programs (such as the March 2014 lecture on Internet Safety held at La Jolla High School), seminars to help parents and students prepare for college, and educational film screenings. Cluster Association time and energy is also focused on improving relationships between La Jolla’s schools and exploring opportunities for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) learning. “Before we started the Cluster Association, each of our five schools worked on their own,” said Shimp, adding that principals participated in district-mandated meetings. “Since we formed the Cluster Association — and especially since we started working on this Agreement — all of our principals meet
far more regularly.” The principals and teachers implemented “vertical teaming” and “horizontal teaming.” With vertical teaming, teachers in the later years of elementary school and earlier middle school, and teachers of middle school and early high school students meet to ensure an easy transition between schools. In horizontal teaming, teachers of similar departments and similar grades meet to make sure the same information is covered, so each student is equally prepared to transition to Muirlands Middle School and then La Jolla High School, Shimp said. Taking advantage of a “groundswell” of support, LJCA is also investing more energy into STEAM learning. Lisa Bonebrake, STEAM task force member and parent volunteer, said she has seen increased interest in science-based activities, including the revival of Muirlands’ participation in the Science Olympiad, a nationally recognized
science competition for students, after many years; the hiring of Muirlands principal Harlan Klein, who said he hoped to add new elective courses in science, technology, engineering and math; and the Biological Science and Technology Center planned for La Jolla High School. “We were astounded by the support and expertise in our school leadership and the parents in these fields,” she said. “So we decided we needed to form at task force at the Cluster level.” With many schools nationwide increasing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) opportunities, LJCA is including art at the request of those in the science field who can attest to how being a “visual thinker,” helps in the field. “If kids want to become engineers, it’s helpful to have visual art experience and math skills,” Bonebrake said of research findings. Starting small, she said the task force hopes to launch after-school programs in these areas, as well as student competitions, and internships for high school students. The first STEAM Career Day is planned for sometime in March at Muirlands, when various professionals will answer questions about their jobs and what educational background they found beneficial. u

As you follow the story, it may help to shed light on the topic in general for readers and the public in general. Having incurred a concussion/Traumatic Brain Injury nearly seven years ago, I have found there is a lack of awareness in general about the issue. However, there are a few expert local resources on the issue. I hope you can get this list of resources to the family of the La Jolla High School football player recently injured. 1) San Diego Brain Injury Foundation — they have a guide that families of concussion victims should read as soon after the injury as possible. sdbif.org/resources/braininjury-guide/ 2) Dr. Spencer Wetter, neuropsychologist — In the PBS Frontline report “League of Denial: Concussions in the NFL,” Dr. Wetter was consulted about how the brain functions after a concussion. Dr. Wetter administered cognitive testing to me, which helped me understand how my brain functions since the concussion so that I can adjust and manage. tanpi.com/aboutdrwetter.html 3) Occupational therapist Amanda Gretsch, who administered spatial, coordination and balance tests, which helped me understand the areas affected, and who gave me exercises to improve, along with a book that explained sensitivities experienced by concussion victims. agotr.com 4) Book: “Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight: What to Do If You Are Sensory Defensive in an Overstimulating World” by Sharon Heller, available at amazon.com Thank you for printing the story about the recently

We must remain vigilant in defending freedom of press We join the rest of the world in mourning the brave staff of the magazine Charlie Hebdo, gunned down by religious fanatics for defending freedom of the press. Meat industry fanatics in the U.S. have devised a more subtle means of stifling freedom of the press. The states of Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, and Utah have enacted “ag-gag” laws that impose criminal penalties on investigators seeking to expose animal abuses and safety violations in factory farms. According to an Associated Press report in Jan. 8 newspapers, four members of an animal protection organization were charged with violating Utah’s ag-gag law. They sought to document the daily transport of thousands of pigs from the infamous Circle Four factory farm in Cedar City (UT) to the Farmer John slaughterhouse in Los Angeles. Ag-gag laws are clearly unconstitutional and are being challenged in federal courts. Assaults on press freedom need to be confronted wherever they rear their ugly heads, even when they assume the legitimacy of a state law. u Sheldon Daniels La JoLLa n Letters to the editor for publication should be 250 words or less, and sent by e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com and must include the full name of the sender, city of residence and phone number for verification.

Got A Paddle?
Canoe and Kayak Team team seeks new crew members By Kieran M. BauMan La Jolla High School Junior
T
he San Diego Canoe and Kayak Team (SDCKT) is based on Fiesta Island. The team was founded by head coach Chris Barlow, a USA Olympic Medal-winning kayak athlete and competes with teams across the world. Recently, SDCKT has been competing locally, in Newport Beach, La Jolla, Long Beach, Oceanside and Fiesta Island. The team practices Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturday mornings. The routine involves timed runs, lifting, pull-ups, core exercises, and trails on the water. Athletes can paddle in different types of kayaks and canoes, and are usually paired with a vessel matching their skill level. The club offers free trials (ages 7-17) on Saturday mornings. There are also different teams associated with the club — the Racing Team is more intense, while the Development Team focuses on learning the basic techniques.
The team is open to anyone interested — one of the youngest members is 5 years old and one of the oldest is age 70! There are six more races in the current Ocean Series, the next one in Santa Barbara. San Diego will host the USA Canoe Kayak Sprint Nationals this year, July 29 to Aug. 2 at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. The 2015 racing season includes races from Newport Beach to Dana Point. On a personal note, I’ve been a member of the high school racing team since September 2014 and enjoy every minute of it. We San Diegans are so fortunate to have such an opportunity right in our own backyard. There is no excuse to not give this exciting and thrilling sport a try — it may just change your life! u n To see the schedule of races, visit sdckt.net or call team manager Gerry Barlow at (858) 273-0063.
Team members following the row/Paddle for the Cure in October 2014 (front row) Maya Wadzynski, Chris Barlow, allyra Ballard, Heather Fenske, nick nebel and Kieran Bauman; back row: Danielle Borm, Paul Chevallier, Leilani Borm, Michael Miller, Sammie Barlow, Zibi Wadzynski, Sage Harmon, austin russell, Keith Keillor, evan Truesdale and ryan Miller.

Gisele Chalhoub helps to raise funds for children’s hospital
G
isele Chalhoub of La Jolla said she puts her heart and soul into efforts to better the lives of patients at Rady Children’s Hospital. In 2010, she was invited to attend one of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital’s board meetings and “immediately noticed the drive of all of the unit members.” She signed up to be a member at the end of the meeting and became the hospital liaison chair that first year. She has stayed involved since. This year, Chalhoub is part of the gala committee working to make the Circus Nights gala on Jan. 31 at The Grand Del Mar, memorable. Proceeds from Gisele Chalhoub the event will benefit the emergency care center at Rady Children’s Hospital. The Rancho Santa Fe Unit has raised more than $9 million for Rady Children’s Hospital over the past 17 years. Gala tickets are available at rcha-rsf.org What brought you to La Jolla? My now husband moved to La Jolla in 1988. We got married in 1995. I have been living here since, and I love it. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would love to see a livelier downtown La Jolla at night. We live in a beautiful area that seems to go to sleep early; unfortunately, Prospect Street is “dead” by 10 p.m. Who or what inspires you? What inspires me is people who can positively influence other people’s lives. Every time I hear a story about someone who has worked hard to make the world a better place, I feel inspired to give back and make a difference, as well. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My guest list would include nine people: Khalil Gibran, Pope Francis, Pavarotti, Gustav Klimt, Bob Marley, Mahatma Ghandhi, Robin Williams, Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer. What are your favorite comfort foods? Grilled cheese sandwiches What is it that you most dislike? I dislike wasting the precious time we get in our lives. I believe life is short, so we should enjoy every minute of it.

Let Inga Tell You
50 years of Inga and Olof
J
La Jolla Cultural Partners
an. 20, 2015 will be the 50th anniversary of the day Olof and I met. As he likes to tell people, we were four days old. Actually, we were 17. And we were two of a group of 40 exchange students from all over the United States boarding a Varig flight at JFK en route to Brazil for the Southern Hemisphere school year that started in March. It was below freezing in New York City when we took off, and a massively humid 95 degrees in Brazil’s deep-summer heat when we landed. My hair in the attached photo (at a stopover in Bahia, Brazil) tells the whole story. Once we arrived in Brazil, we would be dispersing to all parts of the country. While my then-adventure-seeking self hadn’t had a nanosecond’s hesitation about this venture, the reality that I wasn’t going to see or talk to my family for a full year was starting to sink in. I had only turned 17 six weeks before. An hour into our flight, I had ascertained that three guys, but no other girls, were headed to the same town just a few degrees off the equator as I was. Tim, Bill, and Olof instantly became my new best friends. At the time, there was no transatlantic phone service to our new home, and even mail often required a six-week turnaround time
— if it got there at all. We would be living with local families and going to Brazilian schools. Since I’d had only two weeks’ notice that I was going, I spoke about 10 words of Portuguese. My host family spoke exactly three words of English: “hello,” “party” and “Coca-Cola.” Language acquisition was strictly the immersion method. Learning enough Portuguese in the six weeks before school started was a fazer-ityourself project. I knew within weeks that Olof and I would be friends for life. He and his Brazilian “brothers” (from the family he lived with) were frequent visitors to my home. Olof and I were the only people in our then-world who could appreciate the profound overnight changes in our lives. An all-American teen, Olof found himself in a world with a lot more freedom than he’d had before. That midnight curfew he railed about at home? A quaint and puzzling concept in his new town. On his first night there, his Brazilian brothers took him out to celebrate with a lot of cachaça drinking followed by the local whorehouse. (He swears to this day he didn’t partake of the latter.) The town was unpredictable enough that his family
required him to carry a weapon, preferably, a gun or a knife. Fearing he’d only hurt himself, he talked them into letting him carry brass knuckles instead. Meanwhile, I experienced a time warp to the Victorian era. I couldn’t leave the house without a chaperone, required not only for my reputation (and the family’s) but for my own safety. I attended the local convent school where we dropped to our knees and prayed between classes. Olof and his Brazilian brothers would hang out across the street in their car waiting for me to come out of school, even though I wasn’t allowed to speak to unrelated males while in convent uniform. Not that it mattered. I was usually too busy doling out cruzeiros to the lepers who waited for me outside the convent gates. My Brazilian family had warned, “Don’t give money to the lepers or they’ll be there every day!” Definitely not advice I was used to hearing on the first day of school. But I was so distressed by these heartbreaking people missing parts of fingers and noses that I couldn’t help myself. Treatment for Hansen’s disease (leprosy) hadn’t yet made it to this impoverished area of Brazil. Mere weeks before, my biggest preoccupations were college applications and how my hair looked in my yearbook photo. Leprosy, not so much. As I noted in my new book, Olof’s and my early history was not one of A&W Root Beer dates. I didn’t have any choice of curriculum as all the seniors in my school took the same classes. I had fortunately already studied French and Latin; translating them into Portuguese was problematical, since I
Bill, Inga and Olof at the Bahia, Brazil airport, Jan. 20, 1965 had to get there via English. A lot got lost in the process. As I also detailed in my book, Olof and I married other people the first time around but we stayed in touch in the pre-Internet era via letter*. (* (noun, archaic): communication on paper requiring envelope, stamp, and physical address.) While both of our first marriages had ended in divorce, a fortuitous business meeting in San Diego for Olof in early 1987 brought us together in person again. After eight years of a commuter relationship, we married in 1995, 30 years after this photo was taken. At our wedding, a friend said she was glad to see we weren’t rushing into anything. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

st. James by-the-sea episcopal Church donated its building on Prospect street to the First Baptist Church circa 1929. From Faith Communities, B1 “We want a diverse congregation, multi-ethnic, multigenerational and multi-socioeconomic — a church for all people,” he said. Stadtmiller seems to be succeeding in that goal, having doubled a membership that includes a range of ages. “We have two D-Day survivors, one Pearl Harbor survivor and one member who has belonged to the church for 70 years,” he said. “The blending of generations helps the young who are looking for mentors.” La Jolla Christian Fellowship is an American Baptist church, and as such believes in the central Christian doctrines. In addition, according to its Statement of Belief, the church is “… committed to interdenominational Christian fellowship, recognizing that Christ’s body is made up of all those who are born of His Spirit and committed to His Lordship, and the unity of Christians.” Stadtmiller describes the atmosphere of La Jolla Christian
moving the church building to Genter street in 1930 Fellowship as down-to-earth and comfortable, with casual elegance. His approach to teaching is to “begin from a place of rest to one of dynamic action, being then doing, expressing belief in God as love, action.” He leads a Contemporary Worship service Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. Other prayer meetings and Bible study classes are held Sundays at 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., Mondays at 6:30 p.m., Tuesdays at noon, and Wednesdays at 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. After the Sunday service, the church hosts a Fellowship Lunch at 11:30 a.m. “It’s a free meal for anyone who comes, a gathering together,” Stadtmiller said. The lunch usually feeds from 120 to 160 people. Recently, the church has added a Lighthouse for Families ministry with a focus on young families. The group meets twice a month on Tuesday evenings to discuss topics such as parenting. Childcare is provided. In addition to diversity, Stadtmiller embraces the philosophy of renewal. This renewal has been part of the
First Baptist Church of La Jolla building at 627 Genter st. in 1945 Courtesy Photos church’s long history. “God has blessed us for almost 100 years,” he said. The first local Baptists gathered in a tent on Draper Avenue in 1927. Two years later, St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church on Prospect donated its original building to the Baptists. Designed by architect Louis Gill in 1907 (nephew of Irving Gill), the building was moved to its current location at Draper Avenue and Genter Street in 1929. Today, it is used as the church’s Fellowship Hall. In the 1940s, an Education Building and parsonage were added on Draper Avenue. In 1958, the present sanctuary was built next door to the old church, designed by architects Robert Mosher and Roy Drew. Before coming to La Jolla Christian Fellowship, Rev. Stadtmiller served as an associate pastor at North Coast Calvary Chapel in Carlsbad for nine years.

— Advice for 2015
True or FAlSe? In 1896, journalist and publisher Ellen Browning Scripps settled in La Jolla, where she lived for the last 35 years of her life. True. She was wealthy in her own right from her investments and writing, and she inherited a large sum from her brother George H. Scripps in 1900. Unmarried and childless, she devoted herself to philanthropic endeavors, particularly those benefiting her adopted home of La Jolla. She commissioned many of La Jolla’s most notable buildings, usually designed by Irving Gill or his nephew and partner, Louis John Gill. Many of these buildings are now on the National Register of Historic Places or are listed as historic by the City of San Diego — La Jolla Woman’s Club (1914), La Jolla Recreational Center (1915), the earliest buildings of The Bishop’s School, and the Old Scripps Building at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, as well as her own residence, built in 1915 and now housing the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

Papa Doug Manchester receives La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bronze Star
Social life calendar
L
a Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, Bailli of La Jolla honored Papa Doug Manchester with the La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bronze Star for his outstanding culinary and hospitality contributions and for his many philanthropic contributions. The award was presented by Bailli Dominick Addario, M.D., on Dec. 8 at a holiday dinner at the Grand Del Mar’s Addison. “Mr. Manchester has done so much for the culinary community and the San Diego region with his beautiful downtown hotel resorts, the Manchester Grand Del Mar and remarkable world-class restaurants like Addison,” Dr. Addario said. “And with the ground breaking of the Fairmont, Austin, a 595 foot-tall, 1066-room convention hotel in the heart of Austin, Texas, he continues to expand his mark on the skylines of America’s culinary and hospitality industry. “This is only the fifth time since the La Jolla chapter of La Chaîne was founded 43 years ago that we have bestowed the esteemed Bronze Star. We also wanted to demonstrate our profound appreciation for the philanthropic work Papa Doug does in this community. So much of it goes unnoticed.” Founded in Paris in 1248, La Chaîne is the world’s oldest international gastronomic society. It is based on the traditions and practices of the old

MADISON GALLERY PrESENTS
MIYAEvenings ANDO Madison Gallery is pleased to present new work by emerging New York artist Miya Ando exploring the transitory nature of time and place. The exhibition will explore this harmony with a new body of work focused on the transitory passing of the day into the hush quietness of evening. Additionally, Ando will utilize her skills as a sculptor to explore new mediums such as glass to isolate cloud fields and Japanesse Bodi leaves hand-dyed in hues reminiscent of evening light. Whether or not one sees her works as landscapes or seascapes is not important, what is critical is that one sees her art as vital studies of color and light that have the power to influence our emotions and offer a quiet space for contemplation. Ando’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout the world, including a recent show curated by Guggenheim curator Nat Trotman. Miya’s public commissions include projects in South Korea, London, New York and California. Her work appears in many important public and private collections and she was the recipient of the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant in 2012, the Thanatopolis Special Artist Award and Public Outdoor Commission Winner and Puffin Foundation Grant winner. She received her Bachelor of Science Magna Cum Laude in East Asian Studies at UC Berkeley and continued her studies at Yale University, in addition to serving as an apprentice to a master metal smith in Japan. 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.

MIYA ANDO Half Japanese & half russianAmerican, Ando is a descendant of Bizen sword makers and was raised in a Buddhist temple in Japan and in coastal Northern California. Combining traditional techniques of her ancestry with modern industrial technology, she skillfully transforms sheets of metal into ephemeral, abstract paintings suffused with color. The foundation of Ando’s practice is the transformation of surfaces. She applies heat, sandpaper, grinders, acid and patinas to metal canvases, irrevocably altering the material’s chemical properties to produce subtle, light-reflective gradations of color and texture. The resulting works subtly evoke ethereal, minimalist landscapes, cloud formations and abstracted metallic horizons. Ando’s goal is to create a relationship between her industrial materials and the natural world. “I’m interested in elemental and material transformations, so I look to materials that can show a duality. Hard metal becomes ethereal and reflects light differently throughout the day, or becomes something that captures changing light, as in the sky,” she says. “The paintings are about finding harmony and balance between the man-made and natural.”

Pillow Talk
Jean Isaacs offers peek inside creative process behind ‘Dances of Love, Laughter and Loss’ coming to UCSD By Kris Eitland n a cold December morning, Jean Isaacs drove to the White Box Theatre in NTC, Point Loma for an early rehearsal for “Dances of Love, Laughter and Loss,” coming Jan. 16-18 to UCSD. “We’re restaging ‘Atlantic Man’ from 2003 and based on Margurite Duras’ radio play, and the costumes are birdlike,” Isaacs said. “Feathers are going to fly this morning.” Several dancers were already inside, stretching and jumping to stay warm near the wall heaters. Minaqua McPherson skipped rope like a pro boxer. Dressed in a red puffy vest and Ugg boots made of thick wool, Isaacs started a CD and took a seat. Dancers broke into twos and threes and converged as a flock. They fell to the cold floor and struggled to stand, pulling their arms up slowly into arcs. In one section, Isaacs tossed out wooden balls the size of marbles and dancers scrambled to gather them up. Jeremy Zapanta used crutches to balance and pivot, and soar like a bird. In performance, the crutches are covered to appear as feathered wings. “I try to stay as true to the original as I can,” Zapanta said. “I watched video, but I also want to give it my voice.”
O
There are many dramatic leaps onto shoulders and mini duets to challenge the dancers. “There is room in this piece to layer your own emotion over the original choreography,” said Blythe Barton. “There’s room for it.” John Diaz dances the same part he did in 2003. “I love the wisdom of the movement,” he said. “It’s in my body, and Jean has enriched it. It’s fuller now.” Almost in unison the dancers agreed it is very tough to grab all of the scattered balls. “There’s text about absence and it’s a very stark piece,” Isaacs said, “so I wanted to balance the January program with something light and upbeat. I got the idea for series of dances when I was cleaning out my linen closet!” Her troupe, San Diego Dance Theater, will also premiere “Pillow: Case,” at the Mandell Weiss Theatre Jan. 16-18, and she explained its genesis. “I wanted to get rid of the old pillow cases in my closet,” she said, “and the new dances are about the people who slept on them. They are autobiographical stories and mixed up by passing of time. I asked Meagan Marshall to write narratives based on those memories. They’re embellished and names are changed. So who knows what really happened?”

Teff Veggie Burgers For an exotic riff on quinoa or soy burgers try these savory teff patties along with a side order of nutritional oomph. n Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon for sautéing) • 1/2 small red onion, chopped • 1/2 sweet red pepper, diced • 4 ounces of mushrooms (button, crimini, Portobello, your choice) chopped • 1 cup of whole grain Teff • 3 cups of water or broth • 1/2 teaspoon of ground thyme • 1/2 teaspoon of ground rosemary • Salt and pepper to taste
n Method: In a saucepan, add teff, water or broth, herbs, spices, and oil. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed, stirring toward the end of cooking. Set aside. In a skillet, sauté onions, peppers and mushrooms in the oil until tender. Blend with the cooked teff, and form into uniformsized patties. If necessary add more oil to the pan, and fry the burgers on each side until golden, flipping once. Serve with favorite toppings on a whole-wheat bun or brioche. n Sources of Teff include: Bob’s Red Mill, Gold Mine Natural Food Company, Shiloh Farms and The Teff Company.
Kitchen Shrink Catharine L. Kaufman
‘Teff’-lon grain excites the culinary world
Q
uestion: Dear Kitchen Shrink, I have a non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, and am growing tired of the old standbys — quinoa and buckwheat. Do you have any other grain suggestions for an interesting change up? Debbie Roth A LoyAL ReAdeR FRom LA JoLLA Answer: An ancient crop called teff that has been cultivated and harvested for roughly 4,000 years has now become an “overnight culinary success,” gradually replacing quinoa as the grain of choice for gluten-free preferences and dietary needs. Here’s a primer to help you get the most out of this old/modern wonder grain. Give Wheat the Shaft: Teff’s origins trace back to the ancient civilizations of Abyssinia, modern day Ethiopia. The hearty, naturally gluten-free grain sustained these people for millennia, adapting well to their quasi-nomadic cultures with its short and prolific growing seasons, and quick cooking times requiring little fuel. Teff evolved using an ancient method of photosynthesis called Carbon 4, allowing it to thrive in temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while wheat wimps out at temperatures over 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Its versatility also allows it to grow in diverse environments from low lying wetlands to high, dry mountainous regions, and the super grain has a strong immune system, resistant to most plant diseases. It takes only one pound of teff grains to grow an acre (one ton) of the crop, compared to wheat, which takes 100 pounds to yield a single acre. Teff as Medicine: This petite powerhouse surpasses all grains in its rich supply of calcium, has a surprise store of Vitamin C, atypical of grains, along with hemoglobin building iron. Also a good source energy-boosting vegetarian protein, a balance of essential amino acids and dietary fiber in the form of resistant starch,

teff provides a triple boon for colon health, weight and blood sugar control. Perhaps one of the reasons for its healthful profile is its diminutive size, too tiny to tinker with, whether strip, bleach or process, thereby leaving the nutrient dense bran and germ intact in its whole grain form. Teff Trivia: Its Ethiopian name, “Eragrostis tef” originates from the Greek meaning, “grass of love.” Teff is a featherweight — 3,000 grains weigh in at roughly 1 gram (1/28 of an ounce). Each peewee grain measures less than 1 millimeter in diameter (poppy-seedsize). This speedy sprouter beats the world grain growing record at 36 hours. Teff Up!: Teff comes in designer shades of ivory, red and chocolate brown, the lighter colors more mildly flavored, the darker varieties having more earthy, nutty nuances. Teff is ground into a flour to make the spongy East African sourdough bread called injera. In Ethiopian cuisine injera is used as an edible platter with traditional foods piled on top. The flour can also be baked into gluten-free goodies, such as, piecrusts, cakes, cookies, scones, waffles and quick breads. In its whole grain form teff is equally delicious as a warm breakfast cereal, or as the base for pilafs, polentas, stews, soups, crepes and veggie burgers with an exciting blend of sweet and savory spices. u — For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Mysterious, spicy fun in North Coast Rep’s ‘Gunmetal Blues’ By Diana Saenger Mystery mixes with sexual motivation at the seedy, smoky Red Eye Lounge, in the San Diego premiere of the musical, “Gunmetal Blues,” directed by Andrew Barnicle at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) Jan. 17-Feb. 8. How a trenchcoated private eye, jaded piano player and sultry blondes work together — or antagonize each other — will unfold in this funny, inventive play, which fans of film noir mysteries won’t want to miss! Sharon Rietkerk stars as The Blondes, Kevin Bailey as The Private Eye, and Jeffrey Rockwell as The Piano Player/Music Director. Rietkerk said she’s ready for the challenge of playing multiple characters in her NCRT debut, and ready for the singing and dancing, as well. Bailey plays just one character, but Rockwell, like Rietkerek, tackles several. “It’s an intimate ensemble with three people carrying the workload of an entire cast,” Rietkerk said. “My characters are all exceedingly different from each other, with different voices, histories and motives, and it’s really fun.” Rietkerk agreed that because the play is sexy and funny, it mimics the screwball comedies of early Hollywood. “The first blonde in the story is a femme fatale archetype,” Rietkerk said. “She’s the one who hires Sam, the private eye who is down on his luck, has morals, but drinks too much and is a dark soul. This starts the plot
Kevin Bailey and Sharon rietkerk star in the San Diego premiere of the musical ‘gunmetal Blues’ at north Coast repertory Theatre. Courtesy moving as we find out about her past. She’s curious, cold and alluring, and it’s uncertain what she’s hiding.” Rietkerk sees “Gunmetal Blues” as a musical homage to film noir. “We do stop to sing, which usually doesn’t happen in film noir, but I think it treats the genre very lovingly by being aware of itself and telling a story in the medium of stage, which is different than film with technology and approach. Scott Wentworth, the writer, did a wonderful job blending humor, history and music into one show.” Rietkerk said audiences often think
comedy is easier to do than drama, but ask most actors and they’ll disagree. “It would seem easier to tell a joke than to cry,” she said. “A comedy is sensitive, and you can’t overwork it, or be flippant with it. You have to have a sense of awareness and timing, and be cognitive of your audience and the purpose of the jokes and lines that have humor. I love it. There’s nothing better than hearing laughter or feeling enjoyment from the audience.” Rietkerk said she’s managing all she has to do for her five characters — especially every time she must exit the stage stage to
become a different one. “I have to change my clothes really quickly, so it’s a definite dance of choreography,” she said. “That could have been a problem here because of the small spaces behind the stage, but I just memorize the order of things, and thankfully, there is someone back there to help me, and eventually it becomes a rhythm.” Working at NCRT has been a wonderful experience, she said. “There are dedicated people working both on and off stage. Everyone I’ve talked to speaks passionately about the work that is done here. I’m grateful that Andrew Barnicle is directing because he’s so familiar with the material, which is a dense plot with lots of twist and turns. I adore my two actors. Kevin is wonderful and Jeffrey helps him tell the story by turning into the doorman, the cop, or the gangster. “The cleverness of using two actors to play multiple characters, but tell one story, is unique,” Rietkerk said. “There’s complexity even within the conventions of the play. The music score and lyrics by Craig Bohmler and Marion Adler have elements of blues and jazz, and winks at classical music as well, all of which enhances the voice of the writer. It’s a really fun show.” u n If you go: “Gunmetal Blues” runs matinees, evenings Jan. 17-Feb. 8 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Addendum to Adat Yeshurun story La Jolla’s
Faith Communities Editor’s Note: After the La Jolla Faith Communities report on Adat Yeshurun was published in the Dec. 25, 2014 issue, the Nissanoff family called to say we forgot to include the genesis of its expansion in La Jolla. Here is the backstory we missed!
Pinchas and Erika Nissanoff
W
hen Pinchas and Erika Nissanoff joined the congregation of Adat Yeshurun approximately 21 years ago, the group was already outgrowing its small meeting space in La Jolla Village Professional Center. “We were bursting at the seams,” said Erika Nissanoff, who with her husband had recently moved to La Jolla from Los Angeles. Pinchas Nissanoff began encouraging Rabbi Jeff Wohlgelernter to look for property on which to build a new synagogue. In the meantime, he and his wife were also looking for their own land on which to build a home. Their broker introduced them to a beautiful, undeveloped site on La Jolla Scenic Drive
Adat Yeshurun sits at 8625 La Jolla Scenic Drive in La Jolla. North that was for sale. It had been donated to UC San Diego. The Nissanoffs decided to buy another piece of land instead just down the street. They let Rabbi Wohlgelernter know about the first property. “This took some
Milan Kovacevic
convincing,” Nissanoff said. But by the time the synagogue thought it over and made an offer, it was too late. It had sold to a developer, who planned to build nine houses on the lot. Looking for investors, he had the broker approach Nissanoff, who declined.
Then, according to Erika Nissanoff, a miracle happened. After just three months, the developer backed out of the project and the lot was back on the market. And, it turned out that the lot was actually zoned for a church or synagogue. This time, the congregation of Adat Yeshurun was able to buy the land and raise funds to build the new synagogue, which was completed in 2001. For the Nissanoffs, it was a double miracle. Pinchas Nissanoff was a heart transplant recipient in 2008 and could not have walked the uphill route between Sabbath services at La Jolla Village Professional Center and their home. (On the Jewish Sabbath, Saturday, Orthodox Jews cannot drive.) “Now we just have to walk two blocks,” said Erika Nissanoff. “It really was a miracle.” u — Linda Hutchison

Proof Positive
Author pens guide for improving your attitude By Ashley MAckin hen the New Year rolls around, most people resolve to lose weight or get in shape. But La Jolla author Kat Cowley has a different exercise routine in mind — one for the attitude. What if, she poses, we resolved to get better about not nagging, being a more encouraging friend or not comparing ourselves to others? “The angle I wanted to hit home with my book is that positivity needs a regimen,” she said. “It’s not just ‘oh, that’s your personality’ or ‘that’s your disposition’. It’s just like physical fitness, you need to be exercising a healthy attitude daily, just like you would for physical health.” So she penned “Week to Strong: ThoughtShifting Mental Shape-Up Plan,” a week-byweek guide to exercising positivity. Each chapter offers mental exercises, journal topics and discussion questions, to spur a positive mindset. As a personal development writer and ghostwriter, Cowley, a WindanSea resident, said a positive attitude is something “I’m truly passionate about.” A guide designed to be implementable by anyone, Cowley said her book comes from a “real place,” which she compared to places
W
where everyday people exchange recipes. “You see all these blogs with the premise of ‘if I can cook this, anyone can.’ Well, this is me sharing a recipe for living,” she said. “I don’t have a Harvard education, I don’t have ‘doctor’ in front of my name, the Dalai Lama has not invited me to dinner any time, I’m just an everyday person.” Having an overall positive attitude benefits “every strand of life,” she said. “Imagine if when people walked into the post office line … they walked in and thought, ‘I want to have a positive effect on these people.’ So you watch your tone or skip sighing because the line is long or you thank the very busy postal worker.” Hoping her book spurs discussions among groups of people or friends, Cowley said, “The more open we are about our shortcomings or what we might need help with, and the more we talk about it, the better off we’ll be. So much conflict and hurt feelings would be eliminated if we were as passionate about our mental health as we are about our physical health.” u n “Week to Strong” is avaialble for $17.99 at katcowley.com, amazon.com and Warwick’s Bookstore, 7812 Girard Ave.

10 Home Remodeling Trends for 2015. As we close out another year, many of us look forward to the rejuvenated possibilities and fresh starts that a new year presents to us. One way that new opportunity might manifest itself is in giving some part of your house a make-over. In fact, according to the National Association of Home Builders, home remodeling is at an all-time high, and it’s anticipated that it will only continue to grow in 2015. Here are ten of the home remodeling trends that we anticipate to see a lot of in the coming year: 1. Cabinets: The trend here is definitely fresh and simple cabinets with a modern look and feel.
As a more affordable option, some people are refinishing their existing cabinetry to try and achieve that updated feel. 2. Countertops: While beautiful and durable granite is still a favorite, there is another strong, nonporous material called Caesarstone that is quite popular. Caesarstone is a quartz composite (93% quartz) that is resistant to stains, scratches and heat, and also doesn’t need sealing. In comes in a wide variety of colors, uses recycled material, and is easy to clean. 3. Backsplashes: When using granite or Caesarstone countertops, a natural stone or tile mosaic backsplash is an excellent compliment. They add texture and an extra visual component. Many of the more modern kitchens are using a glass backsplash to finish off a clean, polished look. 4. Sinks: The most popular current trend in sinks right now is the deep, single bowl. While the single-bowl size is large enough to accommodate pots and pans, people are utilizing fitted strainers and dish drains to maintain the benefit of a double sink. As for materials, stainless
and quartz composites are popular for the bowl, while satin nickel is still most popular for the fixtures. 5. Color: To create the sophisticated modern look in the kitchen that works well with the natural stone of countertops and backsplashes, we are seeing a lot of charcoal shades, along with black and white. 6. Bathrooms: This next year will see many people knocking down walls and expanding their bathrooms to create that luxurious spa environment. It will continue to be popular to either rip out the tub to build a large walk-in shower or create separate tub and shower areas altogether. Other popular upgrades include double vanities and separate water closets. 7. Flooring: Pre-finished wood flooring is a popular trend as it offers a durable finish, easy installation, and come in a variety of colors, designs and textures. 8. Universal Design: The idea of universal design is to create a home that is customized to accommodate everyone living in it. This includes kitchen and bath upgrades to increase
functionality and in general, knocking down walls to create a roomier, open, communal living space. 9. Green homes: 2015 will continue to see homeowners opting for a living space that is free of toxins and chemicals. Additionally, people are also becoming more and more energy-conscious which is reflected in the move towards energyefficient appliances, materials, and designs. 10. Outdoor space: Not only are we seeing all of the above upgrades and additions to the houses themselves, but this next year will continue to see a growing focus on the outdoor space. This includes outdoor fireplaces, livablescreened porches, and luxurious eating and socializing areas. These are just a few of the trends that we anticipate seeing continue and expanding into 2015. If you are considering one of these or any other home remodel, please take advantage of our 40+ years or experience and visit us at http:// murfeyconstruction.com.

Schultz is now a seven-time winner of the award, which is the result of a survey of more than 31,000 recent home-buyers, subscribers and industry experts. Agents were rated on their service, communication, integrity, negotiation, market knowledge and closing preparation. “I am very proud of this because the standard of service that I provide is something I focus on every day,” said Schultz, a San Diego resident since 1972. “It’s very gratifying to think that my clients voted for me.” Schultz is a USD grad who has been working in real estate for the past 33 years. Having gotten her start in the industry when she was just a teenager helping her father and grandfather, who were land developers in New York, she possesses a thorough knowledge of
building materials and techniques, marketing and land valuation. To provide her sellers with maximum exposure and match her buyers with the information they need to achieve their Joan Schultz goals, Schultz maintains membership in La Jolla’s renowned Top Producers Group. A Fine Homes Specialist, she is known for her negotiating skills, discretion and sense of accountability to her clients.
