Faith Communities 7th in a Series
By LindA HutCHiSon ucked into the north end of one of La Jolla’s shortest streets is a church with a rich, long history. Prince Chapel by the Sea African Methodist Episcopal Church on Cuvier Street was founded officially in 1943, but its spiritual roots began in La Jolla in the 1920s (and in the United States in the late 1700s). The African Methodist Episcopal Church (AMEC) grew out of the Free Africa Society shortly after Americans won independence but while blacks were still slaves.

rev. Chuck norris, pastor
By ASHLey MACkin A proposed extension of the sound wall along La Jolla Parkway got another nod of approval, when La Jolla Shores Association joined the La Jolla Town Council in voting to support the concept during its Jan. 14 meeting. Further, the board voted to add the conceptual project to the list of capital improvement requests it will submit to the city for the 2016 fiscal year. The current wall is 200-feet long, starting east of Ardath Lane along on the south side of La Jolla Parkway, a thoroughfare that reportedly sees more than 50,000 cars a day. The wall was constructed in the early 2000s to reduce noise, although project organizers argue it only does so for a select few homes. For residents living on parallel and adjoining streets, La Jolla landscaping and trees are the only noise buffers. Association Presented by Rick Adams, on behalf of residents who feel they are impacted by the vehicle noise of cars traveling to and from the 52 and I-5 freeways, the project proposes extending the sound wall tenfold, expanding eastward from its current endpoint up to around La Jolla Scenic Drive North. La Jolla Parkway does not intersect with La Jolla Scenic Drive North, but serves as a geographic reference. “We would just hope for a continuation of what is already there,” Adams said. Citing City of San Diego municipal code, Adams said noise limits in single-family residential zones range between 40 to 50 decibels, depending on the time of day. A 2004 traffic study conducted on La Jolla Parkway indicates noise levels average 75 decibels from passenger cars, and up to 90 decibels when motorcycles pass by. A photo Adams presented shows a sound meter pointed at La Jolla Parkway in an area not protected by the sound wall, registering 74 decibels as a truck passes. A petition signed by 48 affected homeowners, representing 100 residents, was also presented. LJSA member Mary Coakley-Munk suggested that should the wall be extended, its appearance be visually appealing.

La Jolla Kiwanis: Nine Decades Strong
Service organization celebrates history of giving
A
(2001 and 2002) noted Kiwanis was founded Jan. 21, 1915 in Detroit, Michigan by a group of businessmen as a networking organization. It attracted 200 members in its first six months. “Soon, the members were distributing Christmas baskets to the poor and performing other charitable acts,” Hodges said. “By 1919, after a great deal of debate, it was decided the primary mission of Kiwanis (should be) community service.” Its efforts since have included helping greatly eliminate iodine deficiency disorder throughout the developing world — a leading cause of developmental disabilities of the brain in areas where iodized salt was
not previously available. Today, there are more than 600,000 Kiwanis clubs around the globe that have raised more than $100 million for its charitable endeavors and dedicated more than 18.5 million service hours to children through the causes it supports, Hodges said. Kiwanis’ current international project, launched in 2010, is reducing or eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus in developing countries. Tetanus, a bacterial disease affecting the nervous system, took the lives of more than 40,000 newborn children in 2013, Hodges said. Kiwanis Club of La Jolla, which provides
opportunities for social service and fellowship, has more than 80 members who raise money each year through the La Jolla Half Marathon. This year’s competition, starting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and ending in Scripps Park, will be Sunday, April 26. Information at lajollahalfmarathon.com Proceeds are given to local charities and also help fund scholarships and civic events. This year, the club anticipates it will distribute $245,000 in the community from the Half Marathon and other fundraising activities. The La Jolla Kiwanis chapter is in the top one percent of revenue generating Kiwanis clubs in the world.

Right: Kiwanian Kedest Berhanu presents Travis Larson of the Alpha Project with a check for $2,000 during the event. Alpha Project’s mission is to provide recovery and support services to homeless individuals who are motivated to change their lives and achieve self-sufficiency. During Friday’s luncheon, the club presented a check for $2,000 to the Alpha Project, a San Diego-based organization that provides outreach to homeless individuals. “The biggest part of our job is taking all that money we make on the Half Marathon and giving it away, which is how we touch so many lives,” said former club president Wendy Matalon (1996). “Our club has served this community for 90 years — I can say, like no other organization.” Matalon supported that claim by offering an in-depth history of the club’s charitable activities. Although Matalon said little documentation exists on the club’s activities between its inception in 1925 to 1940, “from 1940 until now — wow!” she chimed, noting the club’s consistent history aiding Boy Scouts of America and Meals on Wheels to its welldocumented role in establishing the
Gillispie School, founded as a preschool and orphanage in 1933 by the club’s first president, pediatrician Samuel Gillispie, and his wife, Ana, a registered nurse. Gillispie School’s existing campus — expanded through the years — was dedicated in 1953 with financial assistance from Kiwanis, Las Patronas and the nowdefunct La Jolla Welfare League. Kiwanis still provides scholarships to Gillispie for those who cannot afford to attend, Matalon noted, going on to share some other highlights from the club’s history: n 1944: (La Jolla population, 8,500; Kiwanis membership, 85). Club supports the war effort, selling bonds and stamps. n 1947: Club sponsors The Actors Company, an eight-week summer theater program headed by actors Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire and Mel Ferrer. “It was so successful that they held a special matinee
to thank Kiwanis and donated the proceeds to the Gillispie Welfare Foundation,” Matalon said. n 1948: Kiwanis establishes scholarship fund for high school students. n 1950: Kiwanis establishes La Jolla High’s Key Club, a high school-level version of Kiwanis. n 1953: Kiwanis plans and presents first La Jolla Rough Water Swim (in concert with La Jolla Town Council). n 1964: Kiwanis holds first pancake breakfast; membership reaches peak of 161. n 1973: Meals on Wheels is established; La Jolla Kiwanis commits to delivering meals every Wednesday. n 1974: Club purchases and plants 50 Torrey pine trees to commemorate its 50th anniversary, at a cost of $238 apiece. n 1976: Club charters Circle K Club at UC San Diego, a collegiate-level Kiwanis outlet.
n 1983: Kiwanis forms the La Jolla Half Marathon in concert with La Jolla Town Council (race nets $10,500 in 1984). n 1987: Kiwanis International opens membership to women. n 1990: Launches “Junior Olympics” event at three La Jolla public elementary schools, plus “Kiwanian of the Year” program. n 1992: Adopts an orphanage in Tijuana that the club goes on to assist for many years. n 1994: Elects its first female president, Michelle Burgart. n 1996: Establishes a scholarship program. n 2001: Half Marathon nets $90,000. n 2006: Kiwanis International stops requiring club record-keeping. “I’m pretty confident we’re going to re-initiate that process, because we just lose way too much information,” Matalon said. u — On the Web: kiwanisclublajolla.org

No Parking on Torrey Pines?
Traffic board seeks feedback on removing busy road’s slots By Ashley MAckin La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (T&T) advisory board, comprised of representatives from five community groups, has put this question forward: Should we nix the parking spaces along Torrey Pines Road between Girard Avenue and Prospect Place? T&T has two members from each of these groups: La Jolla Community Planning Association, La Jolla Town Council, La Jolla Village Merchants Association, Bird Rock Community Council and La Jolla Shores Association. Hopeful that these representatives would take the discussion back to their boards to gather community feedback, T&T chair Todd Lesser introduced the topic at the Jan. 22 meeting. “I‘ve had multiple people come to me (with this proposal),” he said “But we are also aware that by allowing parking, it provides a traffic calming of sorts because cars will not fly by. So we need to bring this back when we know what the community wants.” T&T member Tom Brady reported there are 45 parking spaces in question. Serge and Adriana Issakov, owners of La Jolla Swim and Sport on Torrey Pines Road at Girard Avenue, were in attendance and spoke in favor of keeping the parking for its traffic calming effect, but favored efforts to make it safer to park there. “You can feel the whole traffic line slow down as soon as motorists approach where those cars are parked,” Adriana Issakov said.
not always aware that parking is allowed on the block in front of the business, and passing drivers often honk their horns at those trying to parallel park. La Jolla resident Dan Courtney opined that “the discussion (of removing parking) is going the opposite direction of how it should go,” and that “If you take away the parking being discussed, people are going to go faster, like they do on the other (eastern) side of Torrey Pines Road.” The item was noticed for discussion only, with the hope it could be readdressed at a later date with more feedback.
‘What can be done?’
Proponents of keeping the parking on Torrey Pines Road between Girard and Prospect argue that trucks and other cars slow down when approaching parked cars. Ashley MAckin “People back off and try not to drive closely side by side. Without those cars there, other cars would just fly by. It really is the only thing that slows people down.” However, parking along the busy thoroughfare has its risks, with Serge and Adriana both reporting that cars whizzing by occasionally take off the side mirrors of parked cars. Further, Adriana said people are
Two La Jolla residents came to the board with traffic problems near their residences. Neither proposed a solution, but both asked what the city might do to address their concerns. Casa de Manana resident Esther Viti said the crosswalk (mid-street on Coast Boulevard South between Eads Avenue and Jenner Street) used by several residents is not safe. “There is currently a pedestrian-activated lighted crosswalk for those who live across the street but access the main building for meals or events,” she said. However, in trying to cross the street, “I’ve almost been killed five or six times and, on the average of twice a week, someone is almost hit,” she said. She claimed drivers actually accelerate when seeing the pedestrians — often using walkers or wheelchairs — hoping to cross
Although nearly a year away, the board voted to approve the requested street closures for the October La Jolla Art & Wine Festival.

the intersection before the pedestrians do. Chair Lesser said the mostly likely solution would be a crossing guard, and would relay Viti’s concern to the city to see if there are any other additional safety measures available. Ed Ward came before the board looking for ways to relieve traffic issues around Nautilus Street, La Jolla Scenic Drive South and Soledad Mountain Road. He argued there are issues both with congestion from parents dropping off children at one of the three schools at the top of Soledad Mountain Road and students using the route to get to UCSD from Pacific Beach, but also issues with people speeding during nonpeak hours. Lesser said he would also relay Ward’s concerns and see what options the city presents.

CRIME AND PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS La Jolla mugging ends in police chase
F
our male suspects accused of committing armed muggings in a stolen car early Friday morning, Jan. 23 were arrested after a police chase and crash in the Midway District. The suspects used guns and knives in all four muggings — including one at WindanSea Beach in La Jolla — and demanded cell phones and other items the victims were carrying. The final mugging in the spree occurred at 2:20 a.m. in La Jolla. Two pedestrians were robbed of their cell phones by three suspects at WindanSea Beach. The victims told police the suspects sped off in a car with Baja plates. The three other robberies occurred in Hillcrest, University Heights and North Park — with several other witnesses reporting the muggers were driving a Honda Civic with Baja plates. The suspects’ Honda Civic was spotted by a San Diego police helicopter later that day on Mission Boulevard, near Belmont Park. During the high-speed chase, police put down spike strips on Ingraham Street. The suspects hit the strips and kept going with flat tires before losing control at Duke Street and Midway Drive. The car hit a Nissan SUV and the suspects
all jumped out and tried to run. All four were caught and arrested, police said. According to San Diego police, one of the suspects was bitten by a K-9 during the arrest and was taken to a hospital. The driver of the Nissan SUV was not injured. Two of the suspects were juveniles. Police said the plates on the Civic had been switched to hide that the car had been stolen.
UTC mall restaurant robbed at gunpoint San Diego Police say an adult black male in his 30s robbed Cozymels Coastal Mex restaurant at 4304 La Jolla Village Drive (in the UTC Westfield Mall) just after midnight on Monday, Jan. 26. The robber entered the business, produced a handgun, made a demand to an employee, then fled in an unknown direction. The suspect is described as being 6-foot-tall, 150 pounds and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, jeans and white bandana. The loss was not disclosed. Robbery detectives are investigating.
Driver falls asleep at the wheel A 39-year-old female was driving her Honda Civic westbound on 10200 Genesee
Ave. about 2 p.m. Jan. 20 when she fell asleep, veered off the roadway and hit a tree, said San Diego police. The woman was not injured. Her seven-year-old son, a passenger, suffered serious internal injuries. Traffic Division is investigating.

long passions — art and the sea — and he claimed to be “equally incompetent in both areas.” Toomey holds a Masters of Arts from Stanford University, and recently, he earned a Masters of Environmental Management from Duke University. The son and grandson of engineers, Toomey said he considered going into engineering as well, but the ocean fascinated him at a young age, and he enjoyed doodling in class, sharing some of his earliest drawings of sharks. When holding a globe in his hands, he said he realized that most of it consists of water and that, “if I had a boat, I could go anywhere.” The audience followed as Toomey told a riveting story about learning to fly small airplanes and struggling with the stall recovery. To attempt the maneuver, he descended in a spiral from 6,000 feet, and while facing the rapidly approaching ocean below, he somehow managed to recover control. Afterward, on his way to the bar, he saw birds spiraling downward to eat with ease and natural skill, and he realized, “I’m being humbled by sparrows!”

The speaker series, which began in 2013, is named after Nancy Knowlton, founder of CMBC, and Jeremy Jackson, both marine biologists. Just outside the auditorium, people appreciated the sunny day on the beach and sounds of the crashing waves, making the place a fitting venue for Toomey’s lecture, titled “Drawing Inspiration from the Sea.” For the past 20 years, Toomey has been writing and drawing the daily comic strip, Sherman’s Lagoon, which is syndicated in 250 newspapers in North America and in 30 foreign countries. Its cast of sea creatures includes a lazy great white shark, Sherman; his wife, Megan; the sea turtle, Fillmore; and the selfish hermit crab, Hawthorne. Toomey joked with the audience that he often speaks before younger crowds and at aquariums, so it was like a nightmare speaking in front of real marine biologists at Scripps, and he thanked the organizers for making his nightmare come true.

A sample comic strip from ‘Sherman’s Lagoon’ by Jim Toomey weren’t so lazy. Fillmore, the turtle, has an incredible ability to navigate; he also has terrible pickup lines. He named many of his characters after streets in San Francisco, where he was living at the time. To make his cartoons, Toomey said he starts with the dialogue, “though for me, the hard part’s the writing.” He then demonstrated with Photoshop, by drawing a strip, as the audience watched it take shape on the screen. (He switched from pen and paper to drawing on the computer in 2002.) Through his cartoons, artistic abilities and speaking skills, Toomey works toward communicating science and environmental
issues to a wide audience. For example, he recently conveyed how ocean acidification affects sea creatures, including Sherman’s and other sharks’ ability to smell. He also drew a series of strips about the BP gulf oil spill. Toomey’s comics and illustrations appear in educational materials published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and he partnered with the United Nations Environmental Program to create videos to raise awareness of the importance of oceans and the coastal environment. He also created a video about threatened coral reefs with Céline Cousteau, granddaughter of famed ocean explorer,
courtesy of shermanslagoon.com
Jacques Cousteau, and the World Resources Institute. Efforts like these earned him the Environmental Hero Award in 2000 and 2010, presented by NOAA, “for using art and humor to conserve and protect our marine heritage.”
On the front line Last summer, Toomey dove to the depths of the Gulf of Mexico in Alvin, a Navy deepocean submersible vehicle. He described his experience and showed videos of the area teeming with life, including tube worms and a squid with incredibly long tentacles. The scientists aboard had technology to allow him to call his 10-year-old son’s
science class in Annapolis, Maryland from the bottom of the ocean. He has plans to take his family on a boat for a year, and will describe their experiences with autobiographical comics. Just as he advised scientists trying to engage with the public, “if you want to reach people, you need to be honest, tell a story, and connect with your audience in a human way,” Toomey reaches and inspires many people with his entertaining cartoons and as a passionate and outspoken advocate for ocean conservation. u n On the Web: shermanslagoon.com

Permit reviewers consider WindanSea expansion, cell site and reservoir plans Presbyterian Church. n Rising with the tide: During a preliminary review to the DPR, ClaudeAnthony Marengo of Marengo Morton Architects presented plans for a home remodel at 6715 Neptune Place that would include a 2,738-square-foot, two-story addition, concrete deck in the front yard and subterranean car garage and gym. The
home, and one adjacent it at the corner of Gravilla Street, are two of the only one-story residences remaining on Neptune Place, which fronts the coast in WindanSea. The site is comprised of two lots (including one fronting Vista Del Mar to the east) that are zoned differently, Marengo said. “We’re doing a full excavation (for the garage),” he said, noting the subterranean area would also be used to catch groundwater
runoff. “We’ll be putting filtration systems all the way around this whole structure.” A portion of an existing, five-car garage off Vista del Mar will be converted to guest quarters and a storage area for beach equipment, while another portion of it will contain an elevator leading to the subterranean garage, Marengo noted. To maintain previously conforming setbacks, the city requires that the structure

The city is planning to remove this 1909 reservoir on Country Club and Encilia Drives (off Torrey Pines Road), while replacing the 1949 La Jolla View Reservoir in La Jolla Natural Park with a larger, below-ground tank. Pat Sherman retain its garage doors, although they would likely be replaced with decorative glass or redesigned to appear as French doors (a concept supported by DPR member Dianne Kane). “I really can’t lose the doors,” Marengo said. The project utilizes the city’s “50 percent rule,” which allows applicants certain exemptions in exchange for maintaining 50 percent or more of a building’s exterior walls during a remodel (in this case, the ability to maintain previously conforming setbacks). However, unlike some projects employing the 50 percent rule, the owner must still obtain a coastal development permit (CDP), and the project can be appealed. The maximum height of the proposed project would be 28 feet, and a ground-level patio would extend to five feet from a wall fronting Neptune Place. Based on drawings presented, DPR member Kane said the project appeared to replicate the pattern of tall, boxy buildings that have sprung up on Neptune Place. “You’re absolutely right,” Marengo said. “It’s a contemporary box … a glass box.” Kane conceded that rejecting this project based on its design would be like “closing the barn door after the horses are gone.” “It’s creating more of the same in the whole neighborhood,” she lamented. “What have we done to our community?” Marengo said that, like La Jolla Shores, the neighborhood is a hodgepodge of zoning that allows for higher density. n Vehicle court at issue: DPR members also approved a Muirlands home rebuild at 1547 El Camino del Teatro after an issue with potential light pollution from a proposed vehicle court at the rear of the property was resolved with the neighbors. The applicant is seeking a CDP to demolish an existing home and guest house and construct a new residence and guest quarters totalling 12,521-square-feet. Last month, neighbors Jim and Mary Berglund said they were concerned noise and light would spill from the vehicle court to their adjacent home, located to the south. At issue was a proposed eight-foot wood fence between the parking court and the Berglund’s home. While the fence may shield car headlamps, the Berglund’s representative, La Jolla architect Phil Merten, argued it wouldn’t sufficiently block noise from car engines. Following the review, Rollins and Merten met in private, returning with a compromise that involves constructing a wood-framed stucco wall that would better block sound, and extending the wall further along the driveway to prevent light spilling onto the Berglund’s property. The new design was noted and signed on plans by Rollins and Merten.
n Cell contract renewal: DPR members considered a 10-year contract renewal request for T-Mobile’s wireless communications antennas and related equipment at Mount Soledad Presbyterian Church (6551 Soledad Mountain Road). AT&T, Verizon and Sprint also have wireless facilities at the church. All are painted brown and located 20-25 feet above ground. The request includes the addition of two storage cabinets to a mechanical building. A motion made to consider the preliminary project review a final one — clearing the way for its approval — failed to garner the required unanimous vote of trustees. Kane said she would like to hear from the church as to any potential issues with the wireless communication providers, while DPR member Angeles Leira, who voted against the motion, said she would like to see a photo of the mechanical building. The applicant will return in February to present the project again. n Reservoir replacement/removal: Permit reviewers also heard the city’s plans to replace the existing 720,000-gallon La Jolla View Reservoir with a new 3.1 million gallon tank, while completely removing the Exchange Place Reservoir two blocks off Torrey Pines Road. The reservoir’s pump station and pressure reducing station will continue in operation. Built in 1909, the 990,000-gallon Exchange Place Reservoir was placed out of service in 2002. The roof of the new, 60-foot-deep La Jolla View Reservoir storage tank will be below existing ground level and covered with four feet of soil. Construction is expected to begin in October 2016 and be complete by April 2018. The construction is on environmentally sensitive parklands, which include small areas of Southern Maritime Chaparral and rare plant and animal species. The environmental document explaining mitigation measures has not yet been produced. La Jolla Parks & Beaches chair Dan Allen expressed concern for the protection of parkland, wildlife habitat and open space during construction, which will be visible from Pearl Street. Allen quoted from the La Jolla Community Plan, which states that protected open space is not to be disturbed. The project, which also involves replacing the existing Muirlands Pipeline along Country Club Drive with larger, 30-inch pipeline, will be continued to a future DPR meeting. n Next meetings: DPR meets 4 p.m. the second and third Tuesdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. To view agendas and meeting minutes, visit lajollacpa.org u

“It is the oldest African-American church in the country,” explained Rev. Chuck Norris, pastor of Prince Chapel, referring to the AMEC. “It started first in black colleges and universities and has always been about social justice. “Early members petitioned President Lincoln about the Emancipation Proclamation and church bishops led the way for the formation of the NAACP.” The NAACP was founded in 1909. Many key players in the civil rights movement, such as Rosa Parks and James Meredith, were members of the AMEC. This sense of social justice, “doing what is right for all people,” said Rev. Norris, still marks the spirit of the church today. Under his guidance, the church is very focused on helping people. “Our mission is about reaching families, and helping families strengthen themselves,” he said. “They are the building blocks of society.” Prince Chapel accomplishes this mission in three ways, he added. “First, we invest in our youth, bring them together, introduce them to people to offer leadership, help with academics. We support and encourage one another, teach our youth to have a voice and to use it in a positive, effective and responsible manner.” Rev. Norris also focuses on young people of mixed race, who may be struggling with identity issues. Second, Prince Chapel reaches out to homeless people. “We work with the police department to feed the homeless, clothe them, talk with them, cheer them up, treat them with dignity,” he said. “It’s part of our basic Christian tenets … reaching out to colleagues.” Third, the church feeds the hungry. Its main outreach ministry serves Rachel’s House, a women’s shelter in San Diego. In addition to these programs and regular worship services, Prince Chapel hosts several musical events throughout the year with its Praise Team youth choir and an annual Pillar of Light festival, which has a musical theme. This year’s festival will be held 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29 and Friday, Jan. 30 at the Congregational

A look back …
The first AMEC church in La Jolla was formed in 1921 to serve the black community, primarily domestic servants. Members met at La Jolla Union Mission, a small, two-room house near the site of the current church. In 1943, the church officially organized under its current name. A new church building was erected in 1948 while members held their services at the La Jolla Recreation Center. Since then, it has gone through two major remodels, one in 1985 and another in 2008. The AMEC is doctrinally Methodist and organizationally Episcopalian, meaning governed by bishops. According to the AMEC website, the church currently has membership in 20 Episcopal Districts in 39 countries on five continents. Rev. Norris joined Prince Chapel in 2010, after serving at a church in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born in Chicago, the oldest of six children. After earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business, he worked in the information technology world for 20 years and then in the non-profit arena before being ordained. During Black History Month, the church will add special presentations to its regular services spotlighting prominent local and national figures in black history. u

Church of La Jolla on Cave Street. “Its purpose is three-fold,” said Rev. Norris. “It’s a kickoff for Black History Month in February. It’s a national evangelical revival, with guest speakers. And most important, it gives people a boost spiritually. We’ve just finished Christmas and this encourages and lifts spirits. We strive to honor people, bring light to the community, make the community better — not just in La Jolla, but in all of San Diego.” During this year’s festival, the church will present two Pillar of Light awards to honor members of the community for their contributions. On Thursday night, the award will go to Leon Chow of C & H Photo and on Friday night to Dr. Robert Gillespie of Sharp HealthCare and chairman of the board of the Association of Black Cardiologists.

Correction In the Jan. 15 La Jolla Light Faith Communities article about La Jolla Christian Fellowship, Pastor Adam Stadtmiller wishes two quotes attributed to him be corrected to read: 1) “It is our goal to provide an atmosphere of ‘casual excellence’ at LJCF so that all who attend either our worship services or classes can feel comfortable while enjoying the very best we have as we offer ourselves to our Lord.” 2) Where he was quoted as saying that “a church is defined by its programs,” it should have read, “While programs are important, our church is defined by its ‘prayer life’ and the dedication and love found in our people. People and prayer are paramount at La Jolla Christian Fellowship.” u

Unlike in decades past, most kids today have fun and positive experiences at their initial and ongoing dental visits. To a large extent, the attitude and feelings of a parent have a tremendous influence on their children’s experiences. Dr. Ashley Olson feels having the little ones see their parents visit the dentist will go a long way. “Little kids are like little sponges; they mirror our happiness, they mirror our sadness and they mirror our uncertainty,” Olson said. “This is important to keep in mind when thinking about your own feelings about seeing the dentist. Kids pick up on subtleties in the tone of our voice and even our facial expressions. Setting our kids up for the best possible experience at the dentist starts with parent’s communication (verbal and nonverbal) about it. We do not recommend promising your child a special treat if he or she behaves at the dentist, because doing so may only introduce apprehension. They may wonder, ‘What is so bad about the dentist that I might fuss or cry?’ Keep a positive, optimistic attitude, leaving any of your own negative feelings behind when discussing an upcoming dental visit with your child, and they will have nothing to fear or worry about.” Olson also noted that having calm parents at the first visit can help the children stay calm as well, and lessen the amount of stress and anxiety. “Generally, the rule of thumb is that children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday,” said Olson. “Early exposure to the dental team not only helps children feel comfortable, but also gives parents the opportunity to learn how to manage diet, hygiene and fluoride to limit their child’s risk for cavities.” The goal of the first visit is for parents to learn about their child’s oral health and how to properly care for their child’s unique needs. At that initial visit, parents can discuss home care, teething and development, proper use of fluoride, oral habits such as thumb or finger sucking, and factors that affect the risk of cavities. At home, a parent can help a child’s dental health with the foods they provide. Avoiding sticky candies and even chewy raisins and dried fruit is key and sticking to fruits and vegetables, cheese, and other good sources of calcium is the way to go. “Education and prevention are the keys to a child’s dental health,” added Olson. “Although baby teeth aren’t there forever, it is still very important to keep those teeth and gums as healthy as possible while they are holding space for future permanent teeth. Parents who start their kids early at the dentist are more likely to limit future dental problems and those kids are more likely to continue giving their oral health proper attention in their adult life. “Forming habits early on, like regular dental visits and cleanings, brushing in the morning and at night and flossing, will set kids up for a lifetime of dental health.” When your children see you brushing and flossing your teeth every day, establishing good habits for them will be infinitely easier. Don’t underestimate the power of setting a good example for your children.

In agreement, Adams said, “This is the gateway to La Jolla, it’s not like we have five or six entrances … so something special would be in order.” The project was previously presented to the La Jolla Town Council, which gave its approval in September 2014, when a motion was passed to “have the city start looking at how to solve the noise issue in that area.” Hoping for city support — as the project would not be privately funded — Adams said he and other project advocates would like to see it get the stamp of approval from applicable community advisory groups. Additionally, he said he would like to see the project on the capital improvement projects lists that several community advisory groups are drafting. Granting both requests, LJSA voted to support the concept of an aesthetically pleasing extension to the noise mitigation wall along the south side of La Jolla Parkway. In a separate motion, the board voted to add the proposal to its “wish list” of projects it would like the city to fund in fiscal year 2016. At the December LJSA meeting, Justin Garver, representing the office City Council President Sherri Lightner, explained that the list could contain “Anything within the purview of the group ... So when we go through the six-month budget process, we’ll have that list as opposed to having things come up in April, May or June, when it’s not as easy to add things.”
La Jolla Shores Priorities List At the January LJSA meeting, the following list was created and approved, with the request the items be addressed as
funding becomes available: n Allocation of city fees generated by the La Jolla Shores beach concessions to the maintenance and improvement of the La Jolla Shores Planned District. n Increased staff hours and improved maintenance in Kellogg Park. n Dedication of the recently created park ranger position to Kellogg Park only. n More pairs of Big Belly-plus recycling trash cans along the north boardwalk, placement of blue beach cans on the boardwalk during off-seasons, and more frequent trash pick-ups for all Shores beach and boardwalk trash cans. n Boardwalk and sea wall improvement and beautification. n Allocation of staff hours for amending of the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance. n Allocation of staff hours to explore incorporation of Allen Field and the homes along the northern end of La Jolla Shores Drive into the La Jolla Shores Planned District area. n Avenida de la Playa business district enhancement and reconfiguration to improve safety and aesthetics, including: increasing the visibility of stop signs and crosswalks throughout the business district on Avenida de la Playa; increasing the lighting (street lights) on Avenida de la Playa; extension of sidewalk, curbing and green space on Avenida de la Playa to the corner with El Paseo Grande; and widening of the sidewalk in front of Piatti Restaurant. n Landscaping for Laureate Park. n Extension of the noise mitigation wall along La Jolla Parkway. u — Next meeting: LJSA next meets, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11.

There’s always something new at Nativa Interiors By Mario Scolari Nativa Interiors
What’s new at Nativa Interiors? A lot is new! For one, we invite customers to come and check our stores periodically because we’ve increased the frequency in which we completely rotate the showroom floors. Most furniture stores rotate merchandise every three months. We are rotating our stores at least once a month and that means new and exciting products with different designs, colors and textures all the time. We also have a new line of fabric and leather recliners from American Leather for whom we are an exclusive dealer. This product is new to the brand and features a contemporary design and high-quality fabric or leather upholstery —100-percent made in Texas! Customers have the option of a manual reclining mechanism or power mechanism that is very smooth to operate. It features a battery that lasts for years and that means no ugly wires! We dedicated our second floor in La Jolla to outdoor furniture with high-quality products for the yard and patio made in a variety of materials — ranging from powdercoated aluminum dining chairs to chaise

8,000 different fabrics from the best mills in the world. We recently incorporated a collection of 100-percent cotton velvet in 40 different colors. The fabric comes from the
oldest fabric mill in the United States, located in the heart of South Carolina. Our collection of fabrics is remarkable — from 100-percent cotton pre-washed fabrics that are ideal for slipcovers to 100-percent premium Belgium linens in different hues and textures. On the upholstery side, customers will note that we have made several new sofas and accent chairs featuring buttoning, or as it is called in the furniture industry, “tufting.” We’ve taken the traditional Chesterfield design and modernized it by increasing the size of the arms and making it more comfortable. We also took a contemporary straight-arm sofa with nailheads and gave it tufting.

High-tech La Jolla Wellness Studio presents MyoMetrix Workout By Diane Y. Welch Innovation and space-program technology set La Jolla Wellness Studio worlds apart from other health clubs. In its new state-ofthe-art facility in downtown La Jolla, the studio provides a wellness program that promotes the health of body, mind and spirit and appears more like a futuristic spa than a gym. It’s not only high-tech, but efficient, too. The studio offers a 30-minute workout — with a personal trainer — that’s equivalent to 100 minutes of weight training, 60 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of stretching in a single session, said Michelle Racine, the studio’s managing director. “One of the machines we use was the type used by NASA astronauts when they orbited the Earth for a couple of years so that they didn’t lose their lean body mass,” Racine said. Workouts using the patent-pending MyoMetrix Method Workout begin with an optional treatment of the i-Lipo Ultra Laser, which emits low levels of laser energy. This naturally breaks down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are then transported to the tissues that will use them during exercise. Next is 10 minutes of vertical vibration therapy, which increases production of

human growth hormone, serotonin and endorphins while it lowers cortisol and lactic acid. It decreases cellulite, tightens skin and relieves menopausal symptoms while increasing metabolism, reducing body fat and relieving stress. Then it’s on to the Range of Motion machine, for high-intensity four-minute interval training that boasts the same results as 45 minutes of cardio and weight training combined. Workouts conclude with a 10- to 15-minute horizontal vibration recovery, calibrating metabolism for optimal fat loss and lean muscle mass building. “This also does tremendous things for skin and vascular flow,” said Racine.
“Guys who go on it have reported that they don’t need to take Viagra anymore.” Gene Barduson is the founder of the MyoMetrix Method Workout. Aiming to stay healthy after a cancer diagnosis, Barduson wanted to invent something to reverse the aging process and keep himself fit. “So he put this very high-tech system together for himself and friends at his country club,” said Racine of the inspiration for La Jolla Wellness. “His friends started having miraculous things happen, like not needing to take blood pressure medication and having the best golf game of their life,” said Racine. “Women in their 70s were able
to play four sets of tennis, and they started to look younger.” In fact, Racine was a client before she became managing director. A dancer, she used the method to help alleviate the aches and pains that often come with rigorous exercise. Word of the La Jolla Wellness Studio has even traveled to the medical school at Western Oregon University. “They are so fascinated by our patented process that they are doing an 18-month study to see what all the health benefits are,” said Racine. The studio offers massage, Reiki healing, acupuncture, hypnosis, IV vitamin therapy, stretch and mediation classes, intellectual and fun lectures and more. Also available are at-home cooking instruction, an in-house chef and nutritionist, and clients may order locally grown organic produce. Pricing is competitive and several specially priced packages are available for weight loss, detoxification, anti-stress and improved libido and anti-aging. n La Jolla Wellness Studio is at 7580 Fay Ave., Suite 103, La Jolla.

Student libraries in the Philippines are in great need of used books This letter is in response to your call for possible recipients of used books. My husband, amando, and I have partnered with some Filipino-american friends, alas Cargo, an International freight forwarding company owned by Tracie Syhongpan, and the Jesuit-run ateneo de Manila university Center for Educational Development (aCED) to collect and ship quality, used books to form the
nucleus of public elementary and high school libraries in the Philippines. The Philippine government meagerly funds its public schools, and does not consider establishing libraries for its million students a priority. reading books is an imperative complement to classroom instruction. Without libraries, Philippine public schools fail to stimulate the imagination and dreams of their students, hence the costly loss of opportunity to spur the country’s development. On Oct. 27, 2014, aCED in Manila received 35 cartons of elementary, young adult and reference books shipped gratis by alas Cargo. We would like to sustain this partnership with

OBITUARIES
Andrew A. Benson 1917 – 2015
Andrew Alm Benson passed peacefully on January 16, 2015. A native Californian, he was born in Modesto in 1917; graduated Valedictorian from Modesto High School; and was inducted to its Hall of Fame in 1943. He graduated from University of California, Berkeley in 1939, earning his bachelor’s degree; and from California Institute of Technology in 1942, with a doctorate in organic chemistry and neurophysiology. Dr. Benson is universally recognized as the discoverer of how plants absorb carbon dioxide from air for growth, which is the foundation of the food chain. He pioneered the use of radioactivity to reveal the path of carbon in photosynthesis at a time in the 1940s, when only the eminently prepared and bravest knew how to handle manmade atomic materials. This required the creation of equipment and chemicals that had never been known before. For a time, Dr. Benson held the entire concentrated supply of radioactive carbon dioxide as this was the rarest of all materials. He was at the forefront of developing the first procedures for algae and green plants to safely work with these “atomic cultures.” One of the great joys of his life was to have made such extraordinary contributions early in the atomic era. For fifty years, Dr. Benson was a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences. In 1978, he was made an Honorary Citizen of Alert Bay, British Columbia, where Dr. Benson returned annually for 26 years to collaborate with an
international team of research scientists and was a founder of the Alert Bay Marine Society. Dr. Benson joined the faculty of University of California, San Diego in 1962 and, under his direction, Hubbs Hall was funded and constructed on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus. For the past twenty-five years, Dr. Benson continued to add new discoveries by daily rigorous research on “The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis.” He was always generous with his time, effort and enthusiasm as he continued to mentor his students and collaborate internationally with scholars over six decades. All regarded him as a dear friend. Worldwide, he was lauded by his peers, recognized as, “one of the leading plant biologists of the twentieth century.” High honors were many, leading to the recent Andrew A. Benson Award in 2014 for “conferring the greatest good to mankind.” He is survived by Dee Benson, his wife of 45 years; and daughters, Claudia and Linnea from a previous marriage.

Antoinette Marie (Gazzilli) Attili 1941 – 2015
Nettie Attili, beloved mother, sister and special friend, succumbed to cancer on January 20, 2015, at Thornton Hospital. Nettie was born on May 10, 1941, in Utica, New York, to Lawrence and Mary Gazzilli and was the oldest of five children. She attended local schools and, in 1961, she married Frank
Attili, also of Utica. Nettie worked for several firms in the Utica area including Griffiss Air Force Base and Mohawk Data Sciences. After Frank’s passing in 1996, Nettie moved to La Jolla to be with her only son Joseph and resided here for 19 fun-filled years. Nettie was a Eucharistic Minister and an active member of the Lady’s Guild at Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church. She was also active with her homeowners association. Ma Nettie was a devoted mother who always put others before herself. She enjoyed entertaining and community service, was an excellent cook and adored animals. She will be dearly missed by her family and all that knew her. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Joseph and Susan Attili of Ramona, CA; brother and sister-in-law, Albert and Marianne Gazzilli of La Crescenta, CA; sister and brother-in-law, Marie and Larry Darr of Monrovia, CA; brother and sister-inlaw, Victor and Connie of Whitesboro, NY; several nieces and nephews; and numerous close friends in La Jolla and Upstate New York. She is pre-deceased by her beloved husband of 34 years, Frank; her brother, Lawrence Gazzilli; and her parents. The family wishes to thank her many close friends, especially Terry, Tricia, Leslie and Greg, for all of their love, help and support during her illness. The family also wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at the UCSD Medical Center for their valiant efforts and care while she fought the disease. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2015, at 10 AM at Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church. A viewing will be held on Friday, January 30, 2015, from 4-8 PM at the Pacific Beach Chapel, 4710 Cass Street. The Rosary will be prayed at 6PM. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in her name to either Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church or the UCSD Medical Center in La Jolla.

Mary M. “Mat” (Merrell) Jones 1924 – 2015
Mat Jones died of complications of dementia at the age of 91 on January 12, 2015, the thirteenth anniversary of her husband’s death. She was born Mary Maxine Merrell in the tiny town of Bridgeport, Nebraska, on January 2, 1924, to P.J. and Mary Anna Merrell. Mat was a high school cheerleader, majorette, sorority sister and Homecoming Queen at Wesleyan college; and a La Jolla socialite who made many lifelong friends along the way. She and her husband, Dr. Richard A. “Dick” Jones, were high school sweethearts and married on December 26, 1944, in Bridgeport. Mat supported her husband while he completed medical school in Nebraska and then internship and residency in Chicago, Illinois. In the late 1940s, Dick had completed his service obligations at San Diego Naval Hospital, so when he was offered a partnership by Dr. Hall Holder in La Jolla, they decided to move back to California in 1953. Mat and Dick joined the La Jolla Presbyterian church, and she enthusiastically threw herself into many social and charitable community projects, including PTA and Las Patronas presidencies, Scripps Hospital Auxiliary chairmanships and volunteer work, and church event planning. She also served six years on the La Jolla Town Council. Her handmade puppets and shows were legendary. She enjoyed making people, especially children, laugh and being the life of the party wherever she went. Her cheerful, friendly presence will be missed.
Mat was preceded in death by her husband, Dick, her parents, and all four of her siblings. She is survived by her children, Susan Nicholas, Debbie George and Steve Jones; six grandchildren, Laura Nicholas Daniels, CHP Sgt. Eric Nicholas, Wendy Nicholas Hamilton, Ernest Woodward, Jessie George Gonzalez and Pearl George; and nine greatgrandchildren. A memorial service will be held on February 7, 2015, at 2 p.m. at La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Ave., La Jolla. A reception will follow at 3 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

Ned Wayne Buoymaster 1928 - 2015
Ned Buoymaster passed away peacefully on January 2, 2015, in La Jolla surrounded by loving family following a stroke the previous day. He was 86 years old. He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Kathleen K. Buoymaster; son, John Buoymaster; daughter, Barbara Fuegner; and grandchildren, Katherine and David Buoymaster, all of whom live in San Francisco; stepsons, James, Andrew and Joseph Weisiger, and their spouses, Ann, Adela and Julie; and their children, Nicholas, Haley, Samson, Billie, Grace, Ava and Alexander. Ned was born in Hollidaysburg, PA, grew up in Bergen County New Jersey, and graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1949. He had a long career in the electronics industry,
Obituaries call Cathy Kay at 858-218-7237 or email InMemory@MyClassifiedMarketplace.com
working for Raytheon Company and Ferroxcube Corporation (a subsidiary of North American Phillips) before founding National Micronetics, Inc., in 1969. After becoming President of Ferroxcube, Ned was elected as a member of the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO). Founded in Kingston, NY, National Micronetics designed and manufactured recording head assemblies for disk drive memory systems used by many of the first personal computer manufacturers such as Apple and IBM. The company was financed by venture capital, in the early days of the venture capital industry, and went public in a successful initial public offering in 1972. National Micronetics moved its corporate offices to San Diego in 1977, where it was one of the first technology companies in North County. Ned also was an investor and director of a number of other technology companies in San Diego, including Cipher Data Products, Valor Electronics, InNet, and Ormet Circuits. He contributed to and supported the founding of Connect, a network that is instrumental in supporting the growth of technology businesses in the San Diego area. The move to San Diego brought Ned to his La Jolla home overlooking the La Jolla Cove and, most importantly, his wife Kathleen. They shared many happy years there with their family and friends and were active supporters of many community organizations in San Diego over the years. Ned was particularly fond of taking walks with his well-loved dogs and the Friday date night dinners at the La Valencia Whaling Bar with his wife. He was a voracious reader and a life-long learner, taking online courses almost until he passed away. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends, and his devoted Barnaby. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a charity of your choice in his honor. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS City asks court to dismiss Cove odor lawsuit
S
an Diego doesn’t have a duty to clean up sea lion poop, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said Jan. 23 when he asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by La Jolla merchants and residents who want the city to fix the stinky mess. The La Jolla Cove has made local and national headlines since pungent animal waste from birds and sea lions began driving away tourists and shoppers several years ago. In December 2013, a group of residents and merchants called Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement sued the city in San Diego Superior Court, accusing officials of not acting to reduce “the foul, noxious and sickening odors emanating from the excrement of cormorants and sea lions.” The group has proposed hiring an animal behaviorist to train the sea lions to do their business elsewhere — a proposal the city is mulling over. On Jan. 24, the city argued in a legal filing that sea lions are part of the “natural condition” of the beaches and pointed to court decisions holding that agencies aren’t responsible for the potential nuisance posed by wild animals within their jurisdictions. The increase in sea lions at the Cove follows the animals’ resurgence throughout California as a result of the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act, the city said in its filing. Statewide populations of the species climbed 500 percent between 1975 and
2008, according to the document. The benefits of protecting the animals outweigh any harm caused by the unpleasant smell, the city said in its filing. “Though the remaining odor of the sea lions may be pungent at times, these are the sacrifices made by human beings to preserve and protect wildlife.” Meanwhile, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has pledged the city will continue spraying a microbial foam on the bluffs above La Jolla Cove that eats away the bird waste and, to a lesser extent, sea lion excrement — increasing applications to a monthly basis this year. Gerry Braun, a spokesperson for the San Diego City Attorney’s office told La Jolla Light via e-mail, “a court ruling that the City has no duty to control the sea lions does not, of itself, have an effect on future efforts to manage the odor.”

Scripps dedicates Loren Nancarrow Healing Garden Family and friends of San Diego broadcast
An elite group of scientists and Nobel laureates that includes Richard Somerville, a distinguished professor emeritus and research professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and UC San Diego, warned that climate change and the threat of nuclear war are posing an increasing threat to civilization and are bringing the planet closer to doomsday. The group moved its symbolic “Doomsday Clock” two minutes forward last week, making the current time three minutes to midnight (or doomsday). Somerville unveiled the updated clock during a press conference of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists in Washington D.C. on Jan. 22.

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS (CONTINUED) From News Nuggets, A21 fossil fuel pollution and to stop developing more modern nuclear weapons that are endangering the planet. “Efforts at reducing global emissions of heat-trapping gases have so far been entirely insufficient,” he said. “Unless much greater emissions reductions occur very soon, the countries of the world will have emitted enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by the end of this century to profoundly transform the Earth’s climate.” Somerville noted that 2014 was the hottest year on record and that the tipping point of ice loss in west Antarctica has been reached, meaning the melt is now unstoppable. Created in 1947, the clock has been changed just 18 times, ranging from two minutes to midnight in 1953 to 17 minutes before midnight in 1991. It has been set at five minutes to midnight since 2012. The last time it was three minutes to midnight was in 1983, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
‘Sparkle & Shine’ campaign continues Some of La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s (LJVMA) ‘Sparkle & Shine’ banners displayed on Torrey Pines Road will be temporarily taken down Feb. 8 to make room for banners promoting the Farmers Insurance Open golf tourney, Feb. 5-8 at
Torrey Pines Golf Course (farmersinsuranceopen.com). Sparkle & Shine banners will go back up after the golf tourney is finished, said LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune. The popular program, in which residents and businesses purchase personalized banners to raise money for steam-cleaning sidewalks in the Village, has netted nearly $61,000 since it was announced last fall. The most recent donors include: Adelaide’s florists, Best Western Inn by the Sea, The Bishop’s School, Brick & Bell Café, Bridget’s Blooms, Chicklits Book Club, Gillispie School, La Jolla Management Company (La Jolla Country Market, Sycamore Court, Village Corner), Monarch Gallery, Monday and Wednesday Walkers, Needle Nook, OrangeTheory Fitness, Whisnladle
Hospitality, Ghassan Aboukhater Realtor, Deborah Greenspan Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, Barbara Leinenweber Realtor, Jeffrey and Jane Marks, Arthur Rifkin, Ruthi Warburg and Friends, and Dave Weston. “We pretty much have already pressurewashed all of the sidewalks in the Village,” Fortune said, noting some of them were so badly stained from gum and other pollutants that it will take subsequent quarterly cleanings before a significant change is noticed. In addition, LJVMA will use Sparkle & Shine proceeds to hire someone part-time to ride a bicycle-powered wagon through the Village (provided by the San Diego Business Improvement District Council), cleaning areas as needed a couple of hours per day, several days a week. “The maintenance staff will be provided a schedule of sidewalks in the Village to monitor … picking up garbage, (pulling) weeds around trees, sweeping sidewalks where the trees have dropped leaves, and (performing) other light maintenance,” Fortune said. “We will launch this for 30 days as a trial and then adjust for lessons learned, and hopefully continue to grow this program. … We do hope that the tenants and real estate owners will do their part in keeping their storefronts, sidewalks and landscaping maintained to help enhance our contribution.” There is still time to purchase a banner and join the campaign.

Theater, animals, love and life inspire radio guy Jerry Cesak
J
erry Cesak is half of the top-rated “Jeff & Jer” morning show in San Diego, heard on KyXy 96.5 FM. He graduated as a theater major from the University of Maryland after which he took a short 30-year diversion into radio. He’s been waking up San Diegans since 1988. In 2003, he wrote and directed the play “Nickels and Dimes,” which sold out 16 performances at San Diego’s Lyceum Theatre and raised $150,000 for animals. Previously, he created, directed and performed “Bless The Beasts,” a multi-media Jerry Cesak of the theatrical event ‘Jeff & Jer Showgram’ about animal welfare, which toured the country for three years. For as long as he can remember, Jerry has been passionately involved in campaigning for animal protection, speaking and acting on behalf of animals whenever possible. He is the founder of “The Unicorn Foundation,” a non-profit group that raises money for animal protection. He is also on the board of directors of The Humane Society. Jerry and his wife, Pam, live in La Jolla in a house owned by five rescued cats. What brought you to La Jolla? As I recall, it was a bus. Oh, wait. That’s probably not what you meant. I came to San Diego in 1988 to start what is now a 27-year run on the radio with Jeff and the gang. When my relentless and shameless pleading finally convinced Pam to marry me, we lived in Point Loma but dreamed of making La Jolla our forever home. We found realtor Marion Hirsch and handcuffed ourselves to the back bumper of her car until she found our wonderful home. It is our favorite place on planet Earth. Plus, the housing here is so affordable!

San Diego Jewish Film Festival celebrates silver anniversary By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt
I
t’s a happy year for the San Diego Jewish Film Festival (SDJFF), which began with a few casual screenings in the gym at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla, before moving on to
its first real festival venue in 1990 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Sherwood Auditorium. That first festival featured four films; this year, there are 54 full-length and 50 short films, shown in five different locations over 11 days, starting Thursday, Feb. 5. The SDJFF is now considered one of the most important platforms for movies about the Jewish experience. Year by year, the SDJFF has been broadening its range. See Jewish Film Festival, B5
San Diego Jewish Film Festival also includes 10 programs of short films as part of the Joyce Forum. Among the shorts are (top) ‘Simpler Times,’ a non-techie’s nightmare starring Jerry Stiller, 1:30 p.m. Feb. 9 at ArcLight Cinemas; and (bottom) ‘Hollow Land,’ a Danish animator’s Utopian dream, 5 p.m. Feb. 9 at Jewish Community Center’s Garfield Theatre.

Let Inga Tell You
A wild and crazy technology frenzy
O
La Jolla Cultural Partners
ver the Christmas holidays, I went into a wild and crazy technology frenzy and had the kids install both Instagram and Uber on my iPhone. I’m not actually interested in posting photos on Instagram myself, but my daughter-inlaw posts lots of adorable grandtot photos on hers that I was eager to see. Of course, I tried to install it first and messed it up beyond all belief. The kids used to encourage me to try software installs myself (teach a person to fish) but they’ve come to realize that some people simply cannot be taught to fish and will be a drain on society for life. I have many talents, but technology is not one of them. I confess that part of my motivation was that now that I’ve had a smartphone for two years, I thought it was time to add an app. I didn’t want to rush into anything. I know people who say they have maxed out the number of apps their phone will allow. I’m agog. How do they even remember what all of them do? Every icon on my phone came with the phone and fits on one screen. Or did anyway. I felt bad for that Instagram app all by itself on the second screen, so I decided that as long as I had tech support available, I’d add
Uber as well. So now the Instagram app has a friend. I truly think Uber is the best invention ever. As one who has lived in San Diego for decades, my opinion of certain local taxi services is withering at best. I don’t want to mention any names but the ones I’m talking about are often associated with citrus colors. Ever since flat rate transportation companies entered the field, these are the only ones Olof and I will use to go to the airport, having been stood up by the citrus folks one too many times. (Once, my lawn guys took me to the airport in their truck — my suitcase and their mower rolling around in the back — when the citrus service announced it would be an hour late.) While taxis regularly circulate around the bars in Pacific Beach, my son and friends, then college students, stood on Prospect Street in downtown La Jolla late one night for an hour and a half for a citrus cab that repeatedly said it was en route but never showed. A friend who lives in University City waited endlessly for a citrus cab after each of a series of oral surgery appointments in downtown La Jolla. One time, a driver
showed up after an hour announcing he was taking pity on her because all the citrus drivers were hoping for airport runs and were simply ignoring her call, despite insisting they were on their way. He expected a generous tip for this. Worst of all, I can’t even count the number of times I gave rides home to elderly women supermarket patrons waiting with their defrosting groceries for the cab that was called for them but which, 60 minutes later, had still not arrived. Fortunately, I don’t look dangerous so these women were willing to get in my car. Or, kidnapping sounded more appealing than continuing to wait for the cab. I get that cab companies want longer hauls. But saying you’re coming when you’re not? There should be a special place in hackney hell for you guys. Those ladies waiting outside the supermarket put the Fear of Being a NonDriving Senior in the Land of Crappy Public Transit squarely in my heart. Buses, alas, aren’t reliable either and often don’t run at night. But Uber happily does short hauls. And comes immediately! Any time! When they say they’re coming, they actually come! On top of that, they’re half the cost! And no I don’t have stock in Uber! One teeny weeny problem with Uber, at least as far as senior citizens are concerned: You currently need a smartphone. Fortunately, once your techno-savvy kids have installed it for you, the app is almost frightening easy to use. You push the Uber icon and the driver knows where you are because of the GPS on your phone, and comes and gets you. Your credit card is
Inga’s iPhone enjoys its first two apps: Instagram and Uber. already on file with them so you don’t even have to have cash. Tip is included! The people who manufacture those large-print totally basic Jitterbug cell phones for the elderly would be wise to immediately make standard an Uber app on it. Advice for 18-year-old techno-geek app designers: It should be a button with a CAR on it, OK? You’re dealing with a population who isn’t getting either younger or more techno-savvy. Truly, I think if we could get the smartphone thing worked out, Uber will be the biggest boon to seniors since knee replacements. Sorry, citrus guys. It’s the juicer for you. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

25th annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival:
Theo Bikel and the legacy of Sholem Aleichem
T
heodore Bikel is a legendary folk singer, activist and actor who has played Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof” more than 2,000 times. Tevye the Milkman is a beloved character created by Sholem Aleichem (1859-1916), sometimes called the Jewish Mark Twain. The Russian-born Yiddish writer died in New York City at age 57. At 90, Bikel is still going strong. In the past year, he married again, updated his memoirs, had his 90th birthday honored with a folk singers’ concert in Beverly Hills, and performed for the Austrian Parliament in Vienna, the city of his birth, on the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, a night of Nazi-led violence that ultimately turned him and his family into refugees. “The mass murderers are gone,” Bikel told his Austrian audience, “but I’m still here, singing about peace.” Last year, too, he transformed his intimate, one-man show about Sholem Aleichem into a documentary that has been feted at film festivals from San Francisco to Haifa, Warsaw and Sydney. “Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of Sholem Aleichem” will have its local premiere at the SDJFF. The film, called a celebration of two

Jewish giants, is narrated by Alan Alda, and includes appearances by several of Bikel’s friends, like Dr. Ruth Westheimer and 102-year-old author/educator Bel Kaufman (now deceased), who also happens to be Sholem Aleichem’s granddaughter. Among other things, it is a testament to the humor that is part of the Jewish
tradition — the ability to turn calamity into comedy. “Let my name be recalled with laughter, or not at all,” Sholom Aleichem wrote in his will, which was published, after his funeral filled the city’s streets with mourners, in The New York Times. Recently, Bikel spoke of his feelings for Sholem Aleichem: “He has been part of

my life ever since I can remember. When I was a little boy, my father would read his stories to me, in Yiddish, of course. That language was indelibly etched in my mind. It became my anchor, my roots, and my portal into the shtetl. The world he chronicled is gone, but we can all read the stories, in whatever language is comfortable. Read them, and laugh.” u

The documentary ‘Above and Beyond’ recounts how a group of World War II pilots volunteered in 1948 to fight for Israel, turned the tide of Israel’s Independence War and laid the groundwork for the Israeli Air Force. Screens 7:30 p.m. Feb. 11 at Reading Cinemas Clairemont and 6:15 p.m. Feb. 12 at Carlsbad Village Theatre. From Jewish Film Festival, B1 This year’s opener is “Serial Bad Weddings,” a French comedy about mixed marriages; the centerpiece is “Above and Beyond,” an American documentary about the ragtag band of foreign pilots who helped win Israel’s War of Independence; and there are four audience favorites from previous years, including “Nowhere in Africa,” a German drama that took home an Oscar in 2003. A special attraction this year is the IndiaJewish Showcase, featuring “Shree 420,” a Chaplinesque Indian classic from 1955. Also included: a Skype talk with actor/director Randhir Kapoor, whose family brought Jewish actresses to Bollywood, and a live performance by a local Indian dance troupe. One of the fastest-growing, most popular parts of the SDJFF is the Joyce Forum, a short-film festival-within-the-festival named
in honor of founder Joyce Axelrod, who has been on board since the early movies-inthe-gym days. “Last year, we had three programs of shorts; this year we have ten,” Axelrod enthused. “We had so many submissions, many of them award-winning films, and 15 of the filmmakers are coming here on their own dime!” For the past two years, festival director Craig Prater, whom Axelrod praised as “a risk-taker, full of fabulous ideas and worldwide contacts,” has been raising the SDJFF’s profile, with the help of festival chair Saundra Saperstein and co-chair Devorah Gurantz. Together, they are creating new events, bringing in film industry hotshots, and reaching out to an ever-widening community. Their aim is to make SDJFF a major player, not just in the world of Jewish film festivals, but film festivals in general. It certainly looks like they’re well on their way. u

‘Cello Goddess’ Maya Beiser to perform with LJS&C From LJS&C Reports
T
he La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will present the third concert of its 60th anniversary season “The Nature of Things,” Feb. 7 and 8 in Mandeville Auditorium on the UC San Diego campus. Conducted by Steven Schick, the concert will explore the nature of reflection in three works: Osvaldo Golijov’s cello concerto “Azul”; Chinary Ung’s piece for unaccompanied cello “Khse Buon”; and Carl Nielsen’s earth-shaking Symphony No. 4 “The Inextinguishable.” Cellist Maya Beiser will solo. 1) “Azul” has become one of Golijov’s most successful recent compositions. Written for cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the Boston Symphony, the original version was meant to project a sense of calm and transcendence. After its premiere in 2006, Golijov felt the work incomplete, too innocent. He rewrote “Azul,” expanding the music and changing its character to evoke a meditative energy. Along with cello soloist and orchestra, Golijov includes a small ensemble that consists of a hyperaccordion (an accordion whose range has been extended electronically) played by Mark Danisovzsky, and two percussionists, Fiona Digney and Stephen Solook. Both the small ensemble’s and cellist Beiser’s music will be amplified electronically. 2) “Khse Buon” was composed in 1980 by Cambodian UCSD music professor Chinary Ung. It was his only composition written during an 11-year period when Ung took part in an effort to preserve his native
culture after the Cambodian holocaust under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Ung became deeply involved in learning, performing and transcribing much of the Cambodian court music, which accompanies traditional Cambodian ballet. “Khse Buon,” (or “four strings,” following a Cambodian tradition of naming music for the solo instrument that plays it) was Ung’s first attempt to integrate string sounds from the East into Western string playing. Solo cellist Maya Beiser will perform it. 3) Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 (1915-16) represents “that which cannot be extinguished,” an indomitable spirit, a sort of force. Full of violence and conflict, the music finally smashes through this discord to a triumphant close. While the symphony is in the traditional four movements, these are played without pause, and the music seems to flow in one great arc across its 37-minute span. The fourth movement includes the symphony’s most famous feature — dueling timpanists set at opposite sides of the stage. In the end, the conflicts are resolved, and the symphony hurtles to a heroic conclusion. u n If you go: Concert times are 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 8 in Mandeville Auditorium at UC San Diego. A pre-concert lecture by Steven Schick will be offered one hour prior to concert times. Tickets from $15 at (858) 534-4637or lajollasymphony.com Parking is free.

Winning eats for Super Bowl Sunday XLIX
O
n Sunday, Feb. 1, at approximately 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time, tailgate parties will be rockin’ and rollin’ from Foxboro and Boston to Mercer Island, Bellevue and Seattle, making a final pit stop at 1 Cardinals Drive in Glendale, Arizona. Nearly 70,000 stalwart Super Bowl fans (including supermodel Gisele Bündchen) will cozy into the University of Phoenix Football Stadium, transfixed on the steamy turf as hot, hunky quarterback rock stars — New England Patriots’ elite Tom Brady and Seattle Seahawks’ up-andcomer Russell Wilson bandy their athletic and strategic prowess. Then the bathroom break, aka halftime, will be dominated by the iconic tight end — Katy Perry. The rest of the Big Game fans, 150 million coast-to-coast, will be high-definitionhomebound sharing comradery, side bets, food fests and heartburn with their best buds. No food group, combination or type of preparation is out-of-bounds for Super Bowl Sunday. This no-rule policy includes Beluga caviar smeared on a bratwurst or hot dog, or Dom Perignon paired with a bison cheeseburger. In fact, Super Bowl Sunday lays a solid claim to the biggest grilling day of the winter season, and snagging second place for the largest food consumption day of the year, following closely behind Thanksgiving. The average fan will scarf down more than 1,200 empty calories of salt, sugar, spice and grease, while the nation will consume a total of 53 million pounds of guacamole — enough to spread across the University of Phoenix Stadium from end zone to end zone 21-feet deep, 14,500 tons of chips, and 450 million killer chicken wings guzzled down with 21 million kegs of brewskis. Of course, there’s a major post Super Bowl fallout with a 20 percent hike in antacid use. Daah. There’s still time to strategize a more creative (and healthier) game plan if you’re hosting a Super Bowl shindig. Organize a
regional potluck incorporating the cuisines of New England, Seattle and Arizona (Sonoran desert), the latter paying homage to the venue. You can whip up some fun new fare and good old standbys with healthy riffs to avoid that collateral antacid damage on Monday morning. Some light and lively New England eats might include a seafood or corn chowda or chili, lobster rolls with New England–style hot dog buns, turkey or roast chicken subs or grinders, American chop suey, Boston baked beans, and for your just desserts New England apple, rhubarb or blueberry popovers. To quench that Big Game thirst there’s crisp apple cider or cranberry cocktail, local New England lagers and ales like Samuel Adams or geographic appropriate cocktails including the Cape Codder or the Boston. For Pacific Northwest cuisine, we can take a culinary lesson from Seattle’s Pike Place Market and serve a smorgasbord of hand-crafted small batch cheeses with assorted crackers and lavash breads, smoked salmon and caper flat breads, crab cake or grilled diver scallop sliders with zesty wasabi tartar sauce accompanied by a savory apple slaw. For sweet Seattle tooths Rainier cherry chews, strudels or cobblers will satisfy the craving, along with anything coffee-flavored from gelatos and biscottis to iced and Irish coffees, espresso cream sodas, martinis or margaritas. Those who enjoy southwest or Sonoran fare can munch on fresh fruit and veggie spears of mango, pineapple, watermelon and jicama coated with a lime-chile blend, or indulge in gourmet fish tacos garnished with pickled carrots, red onions and jalapeños, carne seca or sun-dried shredded beef sautéed with tomatoes, onions and chiles stuffed in tortillas, or a prickly pear cactus gazpacho. u — For other Big Game recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Dinner with Beneficiaries
Las Patronas presents checks, Spirit of Giving award By Ashley Mackin uring the 2015 Las Patronas beneficiary celebration, a dinner held Jan. 21 at Estancia Hotel in La Jolla, there was a lot of giving going on. The La Jolla-based philanthropic organization distributed checks in excess of $20,000 each to 10 major beneficiaries, and bestowed its Spirit of Giving Award. Despite the eleventh-hour cancellation of the 2014 Jewel Ball — the organization’s major fundraising event — Las Patronas raised $881,000 for non-profits across San Diego. When the Ball, themed Moonlit Mambo, was cancelled due to inclement weather, the silent auction went online and Moonlit Mambo chair Susie Piegza said the group received generous, unsolicited underwriting donations. “We had the highest grossing post-ball sale ever!” Piegza joked. Moonlit Mambo was the first cancellation in the organization’s 68-year history. Piegza, along with her Jewel Ball co-chairs Melinda Mahony and Cari Massaad, presented hefty checks, representing about half of the total amount raised, to the major beneficiaries. The remaining funds will be distributed to dozens of minor beneficiaries. Bookended by heartfelt thanks, representatives from each of the recipient organizations shared how the grant would

Jerry Henberger explained, “If you know anything about Parkinson’s, you know there are two parts: the mental complications and cognitive disorders, and the movement disorder. This grant is going to the motion therapy side, for exercise and postural stability equipment.” He added that after the site visit — at which time Las Patronas members vet the organizations applying for grants — Parkinson’s Association board president Rick Brydges took a fall due to his own Parkinson’s disease, and broke his arm. “When Rick fell, he couldn’t exercise and is now in a wheelchair,” Henberger said. “It was his vision to get this equipment to help those (affected by Parkinson’s related mobility issues) be stable when they walk.”

n The grant for Promises2Kids will buy a 15-passenger van to support foster youth enrolled in the Guardian Scholars Program, a program that offers consistent educational and emotional support for those in foster care. “There are 3,100 children today living away from their families, in foster care, usually because of abuse or neglect,” said its CEO Tonya Torosian. “Of those children, 50 percent will not graduate from high school — not because they aren’t smart, simply

Representing the food bank, Jim Floros said, “Some of the things that surprise people about the Food Bank (is that) we serve 370,000 people every month. Of that population, a lot are seniors living on fixed incomes or children living in poverty. There are still elementary school children in our community for whom their last meal of the week is Friday afternoon at school and they

That’s 10 schools, 10 homes or group homes, 10 families and social support networks. I don’t know about you, but I had one. I had one high school, one family, one set of friends.” With support from the Guardian Scholars, she said, 80 percent of participants went on to higher education. Of those, 80 percent have graduated. n For Tradition One, a long-term residential program for men recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, the grant will fund a replacement roof for the main facility, which program executive director Gloria Thompson explained houses the meeting room, dining room and gathering place. “I remember we were having lunch and it was raining, and the rain started coming through the roof, so a couple of guys got up and got some pots and pans from the kitchen to catch the rain,” she said. “By the time lunch was over, we had a trash can catching the water. We’ve been doing that for years.” Thompson said maintenance crews would come in occasionally and patch the roof, but this will be a more permanent solution to “maintain a safe and healthy environment for our guys to be successful in their recovery.” n Other projects funded by Las Patronas grants include: • La Jolla Playhouse: A 15-passenger van for the Performance Outreach Program Tour

Spirit of Giving Award Bestowed to those who help Las Patronas in its efforts to host events that serve as major fundraisers, the 2015 Spirit of Giving Award went to the Alpha Project — a repeat beneficiary. Las Patronas immediate past president Jena Joyce explained that in the late 1990s Alpha Project received a grant to buy a van, and soon afterward were in discussions to have a crew of men come and help set-up an upcoming Jewel Ball. Each year since, the Alpha Project has sent a crew to help bring glassware, bars, rolls of fabric, flowers ... whatever is needed, Joyce said. “These are men who have gone through the Alpha Project Program, which offers work and housing opportunities for homeless men. But these eight men are not paid for their time, they are volunteers. Many of them return year after year with a big smile and a can-do attitude,” she said. “Furthermore, they don’t worry about breaking their nails,

They keep going until the last truck is unloaded.” Representing the Alpha Project, president and CEO Bob McElroy received the recognition (which in previous years has gone to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, Ladeki Restaurant Group, Chism Brothers Painting, Randy Cutting of Abbey Party Rentals, and others) with a standing ovation. McElroy explained that the crew is comprised of pre-released convicts in the Alpha Project’s long-term drug and alcohol recovery facility in Vista. They work and participate in treatment from 4 a.m. until 9 p.m., six days a week, for a year. “You really have to want your recovery and one of the
biggest blessings — not just from the grants from this organization — is they get treated with respect (by Las Patronas members),” he said. “Eighty percent of graduates are still drug- and alcohol-free, fully employed and living independently. Ninety-three percent in treatment that come to work with you graduate, and are still sober. Why? Because you treat them with respect. You give them so much hope.” At this point, someone from the audience yelled “We love them!” Smiling, McElroy responded, “You have been our biggest champions, so I accept this award on behalf of all the men and women, the tens of thousands of men and women, that have worked their way out of a sleeping bag on the sidewalk and become successful … Every time we have a success story, you have a stake in that. I hope and pray that you realize that.”
Next Jewel Ball 2015 Jewel Ball Chair, Cari Massaad, said the 69th annual event, themed “Magnifique!” will be Aug. 8 at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and will be a tribute to romance, fashion and elegance. The major beneficiaries will be: Alpha Project, Arc of San Diego, Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego, Living Coast Discovery Center, Mountain Health and Community Services, Old Globe Theatre, Preuss School at UCSD, University of San Diego, and San Diego Zoo Global. u — See more photos from Las Patronas’ beneficiary dinner on page B12

women living, working, mothering and surviving amid all that country’s armed conflict and political turmoil. Her sitespecific exhibit includes a tapestry, a video and elegant lightbox pieces that illuminate these women, literally and figuratively. “The stories are inspiring and I learned a lot about my culture,” said Castaño, whose parents came to the United States from Colombia. The connective message between the two galleries’ exhibits is that “We find a way to evolve and grow and thrive,” said the New Americans Museum’s new executive director, Linda Caballero-Sotelo. The same could be said for the museum, which in addition to hosting four exhibits throughout the year, will offer educational programming in a classroom, and a recording studio for collecting important immigrant testimonials from the region. Among the events upcoming is a U.S. citizenship swearing-in ceremony for children. Being an important learning place for children to come and learn is a major goal of Szekely’s. “We will be able to make young people understand something about the language of art and how it is something they can do,” she said, “and they’ll get a feeling for the country of that art and its people. This is a museum of living, thriving people.” Added guest curator Adriana Martinez,

By David L. Coddon fter a five-hear hiatus, the New Americans Museum has reopened in Point Loma’s NTC at Liberty Station Arts and Culture District — and in a brandnew space. It’s not so much a reopening as a reawakening, and that’s a term that appeals to Deborah Szekely, who founded the museum in 2001. “I feel like a sleeping beauty who’s been taking a nap,” said Szekely, 92. “It’s a very exciting time.” The museum, which was established to honor the nation’s cultural diversity, is back with an exhibition running through March 21 titled “Narratives of Resilience: Reimagining Homeland.” It features, in the museum’s two galleries, tapestries and mixed-media works that in their own way tell the stories of struggle and triumph in communities in Colombia. The Exhibition Gallery houses “Weaving a New Home — San Isidro, Colombia,” with 12 tapestries created mostly between 1966 and 1981 by Colombian women in a barrio above Bogotá, and an accompanying retrospective by photojournalist Patrick Breslin. In the Community Gallery, Los Angelesbased artist Carolyn Castaño’s “Mujeres Que Crean / Women Who Create — Medellín, Colombia: New Works in Miixed Media” tells the personal stories of Colombian

“Making it enticing visually captures the children’s attention, and then you go from there.” A major change for the museum is presenting its own exhibitions rather than bringing them in from elsewhere, as was the case in the past. “When we brought in shows, it was wonderful,” Szekely recalled, “but it wasn’t our own creation. Now we are making happenings.” Another major component of the reawakened museum is the integration of digital technology. This will translate to, among other things, a digital histories
archiving project. Telling stories remains the museum’s raison d’etre. “Having the opportunity to show amazing and incredible exhibitions that provoke and excite is what we’re about,” Caballero-Sotelo said. “We collect narratives and testimonials as opposed to things.” The reopening of the museum is a proud moment for Alan Ziter, NTC executive director. “There are so many stories that new Americans have that don’t often get told,” he said. “Here’s an opportunity to engage the public in those stories. In the end, we are all immigrants. We’ve all come from somewhere else.” u
The exhibit ‘Weaving a New Home — San Isidro, Colombia’ features tapestries collected by Deborah Szekely and photos by Patrick Breslin.

‘Murder for Two’: A madcap musical who dun it? By Diana Saenger What happens to a detective trying to solve a murder at a birthday party when he encounters a crowd of zany suspects comes to light in “Murder for Two” at The Old Globe Theatre. Joe Kinosian plays The Suspects (and wrote the book and music along with Kellen Blair) and Ian Lowe portrays detective Marcus. Scott Schwartz (Old Globe’s “A Room with a View,” La Jolla Playhouse’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”) directs the musical, which Chicago Shakespeare Theater recently recognized as Best New Work — Musical or Review. “My writing partner Kellen Blair and I were drawn to creating a silly farce based around a murder mystery,” Kinosian said. “We were influenced by screwball comedy performers and directors; the Marx Brothers above all others, but we love Preston Sturges’ wordplay as well.” Lowe, who worked with Kinosian on “Murder for Two” in New York and on tour, said he responded to many of the play’s elements. “I’ve found a number of scripts that require an actor to play piano as they are always on my radar,” he said. “When I read this one, it totally appealed to my sense of humor, and the piano component was challenging and fun to tackle. “There is a mystery being solved during the course of the evening, but the play is definitely a comedy first and foremost,” Kinosian said.
Joe Kinosian as The Suspects and Ian Lowe as Marcus star in ‘Murder for Two,’ through March 1 at The Old Globe Theatre. Joan Marcus Lowe, a big fan of stories by Agatha Christie, Clue and other comedic murder mysteries, added, “I love that the show borrows from a lot of those ideas in this zany, screwball musical,” where the grand piano has a center-stage spot. “There are moments where director Schwartz and the actors found ways to make the piano theatrical in the show that adds to the storytelling.” Lowe describes his character as someone who wants nothing more than to be a good detective. “Marcus is passionate about all

things police-related,” Lowe said. “He’s memorized all the things that make up a great detective. He’s determined and focused on solving this mystery. But because it’s a comedy, the suspects are throwing thousands of wrenches into the mix that prevent Marcus from quickly finding a solution. He also has a backstory, so every step along the way is highly charged for him.” Kinosian said, “When we were writing the play, that was the notion — this sweet, earnest, young police officer is trying to prove
himself at the crime scene before the real detective shows up, and all of the suspects have different reasons and tactics to distract him from doing what he needs to do.” Kinosian plays 10 characters and said each suspect evolved over time. “There are three members of a 12-member boys choir for which I walk on my knees for them and talk like a reject from a ‘Little Rascals’ movie. The leading female character is me imitating my friend, Lauren.” Mystery and comedy usually have different audiences but not here, said the creators. “We’ve had a range of audiences and it’s been fun to see their responses,” Lowe said. “At a student matinee in Arizona, it was fun to see how they enjoyed the irreverent humor. I see it as having a PG-rating, but for precocious children, because there’s a lot of swear words.” Kinosian said, “It’s cross-generational in its appeal; those age 60-plus will know the references to old movies, slapstick, screwball comedies, film noir and nods to vaudeville … those in their 30s or 40s will appreciate The Simpson’s- Family Guy-style delivery of surreal comedy. Patrons ages 12-18 will enjoy some immature jokes and a lot of people falling down.” u n IF YOU GO: “Murder for Two” runs through March 1 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

2015 housing Market Predictions After a prosperous 2014 that saw the housing market in the best shape it has been in since the crash nearly a decade ago, 2015 expects to be even stronger. If this coming year might find you in the housing market as a seller or a buyer, here are 5 predictions that you may want to keep an eye on. 1. The End of Foreclosures After the housing bubble burst nearly seven years ago, foreclosures and short sales flooded the market. And while 2014 saw foreclosure inventories decrease by 30%, that number should be even bigger this year, bringing the amount of foreclosures to a normal level and
essentially putting a close to the foreclosure crisis. This should go a long way in normalizing the market. 2. More New Homes In 2014, construction on new housing units came in around 1 million, which actually isn’t that high. But that number should rise significantly in 2015. One of the reasons is a shift in focus. Last year, new building was centered around multifamily homes, but 2015 should see a large increase in single-family homes. Jonathan Smoke, Chief Economist at realtor.com says, “We are forecasting 16% growth in starts, driven now more by growth in single-family starts, which we are expecting to grow 21%.” In fact, the only thing that might put a ceiling on growth is the supply of labor and materials. 3. Millennials Joining the Market The millennial generation (those born between 1981 and 2000) is actually a bigger group than the baby boomer generation. The older end of the milliennials are at the age now where they are beginning to get married,
start a family, and the job market is helping make this possible. In 2015, about 65% of first-time home buyers will be from this generation. In fact, their impact on the market is really just beginning. In the next five years, roughly two-thirds of household growth will come from the millennial generation. 4. Credit Still an Issue The one thing that might keep the millennials from buying as many houses as they might want, is the availability of financing. For the past four years, strict mortgage qualifications have kept many potential buyers from purchasing their first home with a bank loan. In fact, according to Smoke, “...at least 10% of current homeowners with mortgages would not qualify for a new mortgage today.” This trend is expected to continue into 2015. Smoke did note that if access to credit were to open up, it could make a big impact, essentially opening the market to up to as many 750,000 would-be home buyers. 5. Mortgage Rates on the Rise One of the only downsides to the improved
job market, is that it will inevitably cause mortgage rates to rise as well. The Federal Reserve has indicated that it will increase the federal funds rate which does not directly affect mortgage rates, but it will still have a substantial impact. While the Federal Reserve might not make this increase until 2016, Smoke has suggested mortgage rates will rise ahead of the federal rates, possibly increasing in mid 2015. “Our forecast for housing assumes the 30-year fixed rate will reach 5% by the end of 2015,” Smoke said. While still relevant when looking at the big picture, these are predictions and trends at a national level, but really the housing market is a local one.

Humor trumps sorrow in ‘The Darrell Hammond Project’ By Diana Saenger American actor, stand-up comedian and impressionist Darrell Hammond can boast the longest tenure of any cast member in “Saturday Night Live” history — 14 years (19952009). Now he takes the stage in the world premiere of “The Darrell Hammond Project,” directed by La Jolla Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley, Jan. 31-March 8 at Potiker Theatre, UCSD campus. “I have been a decades-long major fan of Darrell and his channeling of other people on ‘SNL,’” Ashley said. “I was one of the first people who bought his book when it came out — ‘God, If You’re Not Up There, I’m F***ed’.’ It was not what I expected from the comedy and characters he has done; it’s an honest off-look at a terrifying (abusive) childhood. “I thought this would make an amazing stage piece in this kind of era and reveal the detective story of Darrell’s past. I think of it Christopher as the dark side of funny because it’s tough Ashley and funny. We did some workshops over the last year and performed it at a school and comedy club. That was tremendously useful in starting the rehearsal process here.” Hammond, with Elizabeth Stein, wrote the play based on his book, which Ashley refers to as “surprising, incredibly funny and deeply moving.” “It’s like the trifecta to be funny, harrowing and moving because his writing background is largely in standup and characters,” Ashley said. “Writing a 90-minute piece as opposed to a stand-up set is a new form. Darrell was incredibly open to, ‘How does the theater piece work, and how do you build a set of ideas around emotion?’ He’s one of those newcomers excited to discover what he doesn’t know, and he brings a skill set of comic chops, writing
Darrell Hammond from ‘Saturday Night Live,’ appears in his one-man show ‘The Darrell Hammond Project’ at the La Jolla Playhouse. Courtesy Photos chops and a really evolved dedication.” Part of Hammond’s detective story is trying to figure out things about his abusive childhood and past.
“We’ve worked on how to keep a handle on that and not invite the audience into his therapy,” Ashley said. “It’s really honest for him to own that history and events and not be driven by them. It’s rough to wake up every morning and know you have to relive them.” “The Darrell Hammond Project” is also very funny, as often the case, comedians use humor to diffuse the dark moments of their lives. Hammond unravels his heartbreaking and hilarious journey in this show. “Darrell’s humor saved his life so it wasn’t darker,” Ashley said. “As a young child, he was gifted at imitating and channeling neighbors and what was funny about people around him to make other people laugh … that distracted from some of his real-life, so his comedy was both an antidote and prevention from cruelty.” Hammond plays 63 characters in “The Darrell Hammond Project,” including politicians such as Clinton, Cheney, George W. Bush, Al Sharpton, shrinks along the way, his parents, his high school football coach, and movie stars like Sean Connery. “The Connery segment on ‘SNL’ was a little risqué and was only done on late night,” Ashley said. “We only do bits of it, but that was some of the most-searched material ever. Darrell is the longest-running cast member on that show — on and off for 25 years. He’s back on it now and will be on the 40th anniversary special in February. If you grew up in America at any point in the last 40 years and watched television, you probably have seen ‘SNL,’ and will really enjoy this show.” u n If you go: “The Darrell Hammond Project” runs Jan. 31-March 8 at Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD campus. Note: The show contains strong language, mature themes and adult situations. Tickets from $15 at (858) 550-1010 or lajollaplayhouse.org

From 12 Questions, B1 If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I’d remove those hideous “brochure boxes” disgracing the Village … such an embarrassment. We also need a really good deli like Milton’s … and a Greek restaurant … and a store specializing in dress socks, in case I’m ever allowed to attend another Jewel Ball. Who or what inspires you? The spirits and minds of animals inspire me. Animals are so pure. They make no judgments. They know nothing of hate, prejudice or unkindness. If given the chance, they love us unconditionally. They live in the present moment with no specific awareness of the past and none of the future. If you asked your cat what time it is, it would say, “It’s now. What else is there?” They have so much to teach us. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? The Buddha, Stephen Sondheim, Frank Sinatra, Jules Verne, Johnny Carson, singer/ songwriter Gino Vanelli, The Dalai Lama and the most truly extraordinary person I’ve ever known, my wife Pam. What is it that you most dislike? Cruelty to animals. I’ve devoted my life and its every resource to prevent and stop it. My decades-long work at this has given me a doctorate level understanding of horrific animal abuse, particularly institutional cruelty on factory farms and in research labs. Animal suffering has literally ruined my sleep every night for 40 years. What is your most-prized possession? As a Buddhist, I try (and wow, it’s difficult) to not have attachment to “things.” (Did I mention how hard that is?) If I interpret that question to ask what is indispensably important in my life, that’s easy: Pam, the animals sharing our home and my work for The Humane Society of the United States.

What are you currently reading? I always have several books going at once. Right now, I’m reading “Deep Down Dark,” about the rescue of the 33 Chilean mine workers, plus “The Andy Cohen Diaries,” and the latest and best biography of Bob Hope. I also continuously re-read the astounding works of Jules Verne. What do you do for fun? I treasure every moment spent in the company of animals. When a cat’s on my chest or I’m feeding pigeons or in a field with cows, I experience absolute, pure joy. We’re also movie freaks. We see everything. I worship Scorsese. And, of course, I spend many cherished hours each week alone in a quiet corner reading the La Jolla Light. What is your philosophy of life? Never cause harm to another living being. The Buddha said, “Do not destroy life nor cause others to destroy life, nor approve of others’ killing. Refrain from oppressing all living beings in the world, whether strong or weak.” When Pam and I established our charitable endeavor, The Unicorn Foundation, we chose that name because a unicorn never steps on another creature. What would be your dream vacation? Anywhere in the world where I can scuba dive is a dream vacation. More than half the show is down there. If I could physically do it, I’d go diving in a birdbath. What clothing item in your closet will you never part with? A pathetic old denim shirt I’ve had since Lewis and Clark discovered the Beach & Tennis Club. There’s also a pair of powderblue Capri pants in there that Pam doesn’t know about. What are your favorite comfort foods? Grilled-cheese sandwiches. We’re vegan and we’ve found a marvelous cheese alternative from Daiya. It’s available everywhere. I also take great comfort in beer. Fortunately, that’s available everywhere, too. u
