Between traveling around the earth at 5 miles a second, conducting DNA sequencing and combustion experiments, plus watching the sun rise and set 16 times a day, La Jolla marine biologist Jessica Meir made time to video chat with 150 middle school students from the international space station.

“It really means so much for me to be able to share my life up here with all of you,” said Meir at the beginning of her livestream call with Scripps Institution of Oceanography and San Diego’s Fulton Middle School and Memorial Preparatory for Scholars and Athletes — two schools supported by Birch Aquarium’s Price Philanthropies Ocean Science Education Fund.

“It really is one of the big objectives of my mission…to share this experience with as many people as I can because I am so incredibly fortunate to be up here.”

Scripps hosted the livestreaming event, STEM to Stars, on Monday, Jan. 27, and students both from the middle schools and Scripps own graduate program had the opportunity to ask Meir pre-prepared questions about her time as a scientist and brand-new astronaut. The Q&A was emceed by UC San Diego astrophysicist Brian Keating and Scripps Oceanography Director Margaret Leinen.

“As a graduate student who comes from Title 1 schools in North Long Beach, much like the eighth-grade students who were visiting, I would have never in my wildest dreams imagined

hearing an astronaut refer to us Scripps folks as ‘colleagues,’” said Ivan Moreno, a second-year Ph.D. student in the Marine Biology program at Scripps who attended the livestream. “That short statement was one of the most inspiring moments of the event.”

For half an hour, Meir shared with students her long journey to becoming an astronaut. The biologist and physiologist has traveled around the world, studying animals that thrive in extreme habitats, her most notable adventure being the research she conducted observing emperor penguins in Antarctica. But starting from writing down her dream to become an astronaut in her middle school diary, to applying to NASA in 2013, SEE SPACE PG. 4

The City Council voted 5-4 Jan. 28 to endorse a ban on motorized vehicles, including electric scooters, on Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and La Jolla Shores boardwalks, and along Mission Bay Park bayside path, while reducing the scooter geofencing speed limit from 8 to 3 mph in congested areas.

The second reading of the new amended City ordinance banning scooters and other electric devices from boardwalks was moved by Councilmember Barbara Bry of District 1 and seconded by District 1 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell. They were joined by Monica Montgomery of District 4, Mark Kersey of District 5 and Vivian Moreno of District 8 in voting for a boardwalk ban.

Once again opposing the boardwalk prohibition were Scott Sherman of District 7, Council President Georgette Gomez of District 9, Chris Ward of District 3 and Chris Cate of District 6.

According to the City Clerk’s office, ordinances typically take effect and are in force on the 30th day from and after its final passage. This is subject to the mayor’s veto. The date the mayor signs the ordinance will be the final passage and the ban will go into effect 30 days from then.

Tim Harter representing Bird micro-mobility company spoke out against the boardwalk ban. He warned that “enforcement has become so strict that, if scooters would no longer be SEE SCOOTERS PG. 4

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2020

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

By Dave Schwab | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS There’s a lot to get done and no shortage of challenges looking ahead in 2020, said District 1 City Council member and Council President Pro Tem Barbara Bry. Bry, who is vacating her seat this fall in a bid to replace termed-out San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, said she will have two primary goals this year: getting the city to enforce its existing municipal codes regarding short-term vacation rentals, and keeping San Diego land-use local.

“My focus now is on enforcing our existing city municipal codes,” said Bry, adding, “The city attorney issued a memo two years ago saying short-term rentals are illegal in residential neighborhoods. That’s my position.”

SB 50 in Sacramento is attempting to promote more statewide housing by relaxing parking and other building restrictions within transit-oriented zones. Of that, Bry said, “I will oppose any state legislation that would determine what gets built in our neighborhoods.

“Our updated community plans show where more density is allowed. I don’t believe abolishing single-family zoning is going to achieve our housing objective. Nor will approving SB 50 build one more unit of affordable housing.”

Bry intends this year to “introduce legislation requiring that all new residential projects, whether ministerial or discretionary, contain language already vetted and used in our [city] municipal code, [stating] that non-owner occupants must reside on the premises for a minimum of 30 consecutive calendar days.”

Added Bry, “I’ve been very upset that developers are now turning apartments into short-term rentals.”

Bry added her proposed new amended housing ordinance “will only apply to new apartments that get built.”

In answer to SB 50, Bry intends to propose a first-time homebuyer bond program.

“We need some sort of a tax credit for low-income renters in infill neighborhoods,” she said.

“I’m trying to look at viable ways of helping to get more people into housing, into home ownership or rentals, that they can afford in transit-priority neighborhoods in the urban core.”

Bry noted she’s “very excited” about the prospects for Enhance La Jolla, La Jolla’s new Maintenance Assessment District that became active in October 2019, to actually enhance La Jolla.

“I’m excited about what they’re already doing, and about their long-term vision for the Village,”

she said. “Doing errands in the Village, I can see their big push on picking up trash, etc.”

Bry said her “laundry list” for La Jolla capital improvements includes: repaving of Girard from Pearl to Genter, repaving La Jolla Parkway, blacktopping La Jolla Rec Center, providing two shuttles to move people throughout the Village from a remote parking reservoir, and funding ongoing Scripps Park Comfort Station improvements scheduled for completion in FY 2023.

A non-career politician, Bry said her reason to run for mayor is the same as it was to run for City Council.

“It’s been an extraordinary experience,” she said. “I want to make a real difference in this city.”

While noting a council member is only 1 of 9 voices, Bry added, “I’ve had the litmus test of being a council member. Now I want to take the next step.”

Bry pointed to her opposition to SoccerCity as one highlight in her political career. “My goal is to keep this [stadium renovation] moving along and to have a time set for closing escrow, so we can get this project started, build a new stadium and a river park and other great things,” Bry said.

At the grassroots level, Bry said her office will “continue our goal of providing constituent support services with the revenues that come in.”

Bird Rock resident proposes off-leash dog park to LJPB

The area of the bike path being purposed as an off-leash dog park. PHOTO COURTESY OF LISA MATTHEWS

By Dave Schwab | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS In January, a Bird Rock resident approached La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., with a proposal to turn a portion of La Jolla Bike Path into an off-leash dog park.

“We need a dog park in La Jolla and we don’t have one,” said Lisa Matthews, addressing community park planners Jan. 27. “People can only walk their dogs in our beautiful parks early in the morning and late in the evening. The nearest off-leash dog park on Fiesta Island is 27 minutes away and has foxtails that are a threat and dogs get dirty there and have to be washed afterward.”

Matthews gave a brief slideshow presentation showing the depleted condition of the large-dog area in another nearby fenced-in off-leash dog park, Capehart, located at the base of Mount Soledad.

“I was thinking of doing a GoFundMe but it would cost an estimated $600,000 to fix both large- and small-dog areas at Capehart, which is too much,” said Matthews. She added, “A dog park can blend into the natural environment. I’m here to get your feedback.”

“This is a very contentious issue and not just in La Jolla,” said LJPB President Ann Dynes. “It’s the number one most popular

request to City Parks and Recreation Department.”

Dynes pointed out the city guidelines for creation of new dog parks are “an unbelievable 30 pages long.”

“Dogs on leashes are for the protection of the dog as much as for the protection of people,” noted LJPB board member Dr. Jane Reldan.

Board colleague John Shannon pointed out an aggressive dog(s) can wreak havoc in an off-leash dog park.

“This location is not optimal,” contended LJPB board member Sally Miller, disclosing she lives adjacent to the Fay Avenue bike trail. “For the past 30 years, I’ve been trying to protect this path from it becoming a bike freeway, a dog park or a skate park. This is an open area that already has a lot of people using it daily as an off-leash area.”

Added Miller, “You will have parking issues, as 90% of the parking in the area is taken up by schools, and neighbors don’t want to be fighting the parking and noise problems.”

Board member Mary Ellen Morgan had a different take on finding new off-leash space for canines.

“My suggestion is you do a private dog park where La Jolla dog owners pay a fee and have a key card [for access]. A pay-as-you-go dog park could have an attendant there to patrol, and you wouldn’t have neighbors’ resistance.”

a­ llowed on the boardwalks, it will push them off into faster traffic on Mission Boulevard traveling up to 35 mph, which isn’t safe. The ban does not make policy sense. It ignores data from riders reporting they’re not feeling safe riding on the street.”

Added Harter: “The new 3 mph speed limit will create an ‘invisible wall’ for scooter riders. Say no to this until more data can be collected.”

Community activist Scott Chipman of PB noted banning scooters on boardwalks “is a public safety issue.” Chipman also disputed micro

SCRIPPS PARK COMMERCIALIZATION La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. delayed a final vote on commercializing Scripps Park until its next meeting Feb. 24. This matter has been controversial for some time with the parks group, which for years has been advocating that a portion of Scripps should always be left open to the public, even during signature events in the park, and that nonprofits should be given preference over for-profits there.

LJPB board member Mary Ellen Morgan, who is on a committee studying the issue, advocated on Jan. 27 that new special-use permits for activities in the park be restricted to nonprofits only, until the city is finished with its parks master plan update, which could take years.

LJPB NOTES 2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Board president Ann Dynes listed numerous accomplishments by the parks advisory group over the past year.

Those include: reintroduction of the La Jolla Cove Swim, replacement of downed trees in Scripps Park, replacement of the Park Row flagpole, submission of a historical designation for Children’s Pool, cleanup of the Fay Avenue Bike Path, initiation of Scripps Park bathroom renovation and a negotiated letter with Native American tribes facilitating the return of their metate to Whale View Point.

mobility’s contention that scooters are for “last-mile commuting.”

“Virtually no one rides them for the last-mile of a commute,” argued Chipman. “They are play equipment on the boardwalk, which has become their unsafe playground.”

“Electric vehicles are taking over the boardwalk and nobody feels safe,” testified Mission Beach Town Council president Matt Gardner.

In making her motion, Bry noted the City’s regional bicycle map excludes motorized vehicles in Class 1 bike paths.

The boardwalks are Class 1 bike paths,” she pointed out.

Class 1 bike paths are paved rights-of-way completely separat-

ed from streets and are typically shared with pedestrians.

“I have gone on record supporting prohibition of use of motor vehicles, both personal and rentals, on boardwalks,” said Campbell.

“Public safety is our number one responsibility.”

Non-motorized vehicles on the boardwalk would be unaffected by the new ordinance. The only exceptions to the boardwalk ban would be those electric vehicles used by the disabled.

Lime micro-mobility company announced, following the City Council’s 5-4 vote to ban electric vehicles on boardwalks in December, that it would be “pulling its operations out of the San Diego market.”

dents to space, Meir being one of three alumni who have traveled to the “final frontier.” Megan McArthur, who holds a Ph.D. in Oceanography from Scripps, traveled to space in 2009 and helped repair the Hubble telescope. Kate Rubins, who studied microbial biology as an undergraduate, became the first person to sequence DNA in space. Sally Ride, the first woman in space, was a long-time professor of physics at UC San Diego.

“There does seem to be a trend with UCSD and female astronauts,” said Meir, who entertained many a middle schooler with her demonstrations of zero gravity by floating up to the ceiling and suspending her microphone in midair.

According to Wood, Scripps would like to host more lives-

treaming events like this in the future to encourage more Title 1 and graduate students in their galactic pur suits.

“The most important thing to do is to make sure that you identify your passion and do what it is that you really care about,” said Meir to the students. “Once you’ve done that, you do need to work really hard to make those dreams come true. And it sounds a bit trite when I say it, but it really is true.

The point is, really, anyone can do it if that’s what you set your mind out to.”

Moreno added, “Not only am I excited for my own future, but also for the futures of all my other peers in the crowd who maybe resonated with her words of encouragement just as much as I did.”

it’s been the mysteries of space that have always called out to Meir. And she’s not alone.

“Working for NASA is a longterm goal of mine and seeing former Scripps graduate students reach their highest potentials through that same avenue is motivating,” said Moreno.

5 First section of Walter Munk Foundation’s ‘The Map’ to be started on Valentine’s Day

By Dave Schwab | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS Hurdles have been cleared and The Walter Munk Foundation has received final approval for the oceans project, The Map, to be installed soon at La Jolla Shores.

The educational project is a 2,400-square-foot tile mosaic displaying all the various types of sea life in the La Jolla Canyon. It was launched prior to late La Jolla oceanographer Walter Munk’s death at age 101 on Feb. 8, 2019.

“The Map of the ‘Grand Canyons of La Jolla’ is back, a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy of Walter Munk, who spent his 80-year career as an oceanographer at Scripps Institution of Oceanography,” said Mary Munk, noting a fence has gone up at the south end of Kellogg Park between the children’s playground and the comfort station, adjacent to Walter Munk Way, where The Map will be reconstructed.

Added Munk, “Rough grading has begun as workers are preparing the site for the long-awaited Lithomosaic educational tool, which is sure to delight ocean enthusiasts of every age.”

Weather permitting, Munk said the first section containing the Mobula munkiana, Munk’s devil ray, of The Map will be poured on Feb. 14

by Shaw & Sons.

“This is a very big deal,” exclaimed Mayor Kevin Faulconer,

when he recently visited The Map, which is temporarily being housed in UC San Diego’s Old Southwest Fisheries Building.

The Map will be relocated in an educational plaza and is multidisciplinary in nature. It features 119 life-sized species found just offshore, an illustration from a paper written

by Walter Munk in 1947 demonstrating wave refraction patterns through the “Grand Canyons of La Jolla.” It will be important to local surfers, with dive flags denoting favorite dive sites for scuba divers, as well as depicting the bathymetry (water depth) of the La Jolla and Scripps canyons.

The cultural history of the Kumeyaay is also being honored with the existing bronze plaque, and the remains of a now-submerged Kumeyaay Village, which give it a sense of space and historical significance.

Visitors to The Map have been stunned by the grandeur of the project.

“It is truly beautiful,” said La Jollan Trace Wilson, who added she was “totally blown away. What was particularly impressive to me was, not only the scope of the effort, but the breadth of the detail — sea life/ sea creatures, geography in the ocean and on land, wave action, and so much more.”

Landscape architect Jennifer Phelps noted, “I love the intention of

The Map to be used as an educational tool for all levels, especially with the focus on how climate change is affecting our own backyard. When locals (and visitors) learn about the devastating impacts climate change is having on land and sea creatures right here in San Diego, they will be more likely to take action to mitigate the worst effects.”

Since each animal on The Map is so unique, it functions as a QR code. “The idea of being able to scan any and all of the beautiful, sea life mosaic creations — and pull up on your own smartphone — is brilliant,” said Wilson. “This will add an incredible connection between the art of the human, and the understanding of the ocean.”

Corresponding multidisciplinary curricula are being created by teams of local educators so The Map can be enjoyed at deeper levels by students grades K-16. Birch Aquarium will feature The Map in its Coast-toCanyon Program, and the foundation is working closely with Ocean Discovery Institute to make sure their students have the opportunity to visit the ocean.

"It would have never happened without the countless hours donated by Don Goertz, AIA; Tom Grunow and Paula Selby; and the capable work of Leslie Ryan, landscape architect; and Grunow Construction, to name a few,” concluded Munk.

The fabrication of The Map was

funded by Walter and Mary Munk as a generous gift to the La Jolla Shores community and its millions of visitors. The installation will cost upwards of $500,000 and community support is welcomed through

donations to the Munk Foundation website, or by reaching out to managing director Cynthia Matzke at cynthia@waltermunkfoundation. org. Donors will be appropriately recognized for their contributions.

Update your home décor quickly dramatically with window treatments Most homeowners are looking for ways to upgrade their home décor quickly and dramatically.

One of the most overlooked pieces of home décor are the window treatments, which can alter your interior design more than you may realize. Take a look at these tips to see how you can update your home without compromising your style.

A Stylish Upgrade

Drapery is an easy way for any homeowner to layer onto existing window treatments bringing

new life to an old look. It can also stand on its own and adds visual warmth and texture to any room.

Drapery brings a variety of visual aspects to the space.

Energy Efficiency

Homeowners are always on the lookout for ways to save money, and the monthly gas/electric bill can be a sore spot. Start saving with window treatments that keep your home well insulated.

Drapery is great at controlling the amount of light that enters a room.

During the summer, light

entering a home will heat the interior and cause the energy costs to rise. Closing drapes during the day can reduce those costs because drapery acts as an additional layer of insulation. Drapery also acts as a barrier from the outside temperature during the cold winter months. No matter the season, drapery is the perfect way to help keep you comfortable inside, regardless of what the weather is doing outside.

you look out your window and see someone else looking back in at you. Having control of who is seeing into your home is something that you need to account for. Before you say your windows are private enough, think about them at night. Once the sun goes down, and it starts to get dark, any light on in your home makes it easier to see in. With light filtering options you can determine the level of light entering or leaving your windows, Privacy allowing you to be able to Sometimes, privacy can see out without unwanted be an afterthought until eyes peering in.

Business 7 UCCA discusses airplane noise concerns at Aviation 2020 presentation FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2020 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

By Jemma Samala | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS The University City Community Association hosted an Aviation 2020 forum on Jan. 29, at the University Community Library. Guest presenters discussed various aspects of the area’s aviation concerns and included representatives from: San Diego International Airport (SDIA), Quiet Skies La Jolla (QSLJ), Montgomery-Gibbs Airport (MGA), Montgomery-Gibbs Environmental Coalition (MGEC), MCAS Miramar, and Citizens Advocating Safe Aviation (CASA). The FAA was invited but did not attend.

Anthony Stiegler and Dr. Anthony Price represented the Quiet Skies La Jolla group and discussed why increased jet noise is bad for our health, and is associated with stress, sleep disturbances, cognitive learning deficits, and the development of cardiovascular disease.

While they do feel increased airport capacity is good for the economy, QSLJ is asking for “smart growth” with noise reductions by having flights further away from and higher over impacted communities. With the NextGen Metroplex implemented in 2017, the air superhighways have impacted the communities of La Jolla, University City, Clairemont, Point Loma, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, East County, with noise complaints skyrocketing.

They pointed out that with the San Diego International Airport’s new Airport Development Plan, there will be 38% more flights in the skies.

SDIA does not have a curfew for inbound arrivals. The group has hired an environmental litigation firm to advance a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) challenge asking to set aside airport expansion until appropriate noise mitigation measures are implemented.

During the meeting itself, jet noise was ironically heard.

San Diego residents have growing concerns over airplane noise.

MCAS Miramar was represented

by Kristin Camper, Community Plans and Liaison officer. Camper went over the Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) and the current safety zone and noise contours as compared to those in the past, with some showing areas have been reduced. The biggest changes will be the switch to the F-35B stealth fighter aircraft, replacing the FA-18C/D jets.

One retired military gentleman shared that the noise brought up his PTSD, while others vehemently conveyed that planes are flying over their homes on a continual basis.

While Kristin Camper reiterated that planes are not allowed to fly over the community, she commented that she could “not guarantee that planes will never fly” outside the safety and noise zones.

Ron Belanger spoke on behalf of Citizens Advocating Safe Aviation.

Belanger pointed out that none of the

departure or approach procedures of MCAS Miramar fly over La Jolla or University City, even when there are Santa Ana winds, when the runways are reversed.

Also, there are no designated crash zones west of Miramar, those are located in east Miramar. CASA’s concerns are those pilots that ignore the Department of Defense (DoD) and FAA procedures, which tend to be visiting military aircraft or DoD-contracted aircraft operating as transients at Miramar. These pilots are not used to tightly controlled airspace.

University City continues to mourn over the F-18 neighborhood crash in 2008, which killed four people. If the distressed F-18 crashed two to three seconds earlier, it would have hit University City High School.

CASA wants elected officials to advocate on the community’s behalf to MCAS Miramar command and

THOMAS MELVILLE / VILLAGE NEWS

to FAA SoCal to demand adherence to published approaches and departures at all airports.

Many of the questions at the end of the forum were concentrated towards MCAS Miramar, especially with pilots ignoring the designated airspace.

Jorge Rubio, the interim deputy director at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, spoke about MGA being one of the top 20 general aviation airports in the U.S. The airport is critical in preventing extreme delays at the San Diego International Airport, active in noise monitoring, and assisted by an Airports Advisory Committee. The airport is managed by the city of San Diego.

Sandra Stahl, MGEC executive director, spoke about the dangers of leaded general aviation fuel being used by planes filling up at Montgomery-Gibbs Airport. Leaded fuel is only used in propeller planes, those generally flying into and out of MGA.

Lead is a neurotoxin with no safe levels and is on the World Health Organization’s list of 10 chemicals of major concern.

MGA generates about 1,442 tons of toxic lead each year, which “not only pollutes the air, but falls down on our community contaminating the soil and grass and persists forever.” There is an easy solution to sell unleaded fuel, which pilots prefer anyway since unleaded fuel means less needed maintenance for their planes.

The solution has been brought up to city of San Diego officials, but the city has refused to open up the process to find a vendor or become its own vendor.

The San Diego International Airport is in the process of getting a new Airport Development Plan (ADP) in place, and if all approvals are in place, the new Terminal 1 will open in 2024.

Brendan Reed, director of Planning and Environmental Affairs, provided components of the ADP, which included a new Terminal 1 (with 11 new gates, more gate-area seating, restaurants and shops, and additional security checkpoint lanes), new Taxiway A, connection to a potential mobility hub (built by SANDAG), duel-level curbway and curbfront, and on-airport entry roadway.

The on-airport entry roadway would take 45,000 cars a day off Harbor Drive and will include a rightof-way for future outbound lanes.

The new Terminal 1 will not increase maximum capacity of the airport and is expected to reduce emissions compared to “no build” scenario.

The public is welcome to attend the next Airport Noise Advisory Committee meeting on Feb. 19, 4 p.m. at the Holiday Inn San Diego Bayside, 4875 N. Harbor Drive.

A wealth of information was shared during the Aviation 2020 forum, and all materials can be found at universitycitynews.org.

MCASD receives $750K grant for La Jolla renovation

By Dave Schwab | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS More than a year removed from completion of a retrofit redefining its look and feel, the Museum of Contemporary Art La Jolla recently received a $750,000 federal matching fund grant.

Funding supplied by the National Endowment for the Humanities for the Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge grant, will go toward infrastructure improvements at the La Jolla museum site, closed for reconstruction since January 2017.

“When you get a grant that’s not programmatic, but is for the operation of your museum facility, it’s a big deal,” said Kathryn Kanjo, the David C. Copley director/CEO at MCASD. “It’s a vote of confidence for your organization as a whole. It’s going to really help us build this new building more than doubling the size of our La Jolla flagship, and quadrupling its gallery

spaces. It recognizes our 75-year history, our vision for the future and our sound operations.”

MCASD’s grant is one of 32 NEH Challenge grants totaling $30.9 million to be awarded nationwide supporting 188 humanities projects in 45 states. Monies are meant to strengthen and sustain humanities infrastructure and capacity-building activities at cultural institutions. MCASD is the only San Diego recipient. It is also the largest grant dollar awardee in California this year. This is the fifth NEH grant awarded to MCASD since 1994.

Grant funds will support construction expenses for the expansion of the museum’s La Jolla campus, creating capacity for display of the museum’s permanent collection alongside temporary exhibitions.

The project, led by Annabelle Selldorf, FAIA, Selldorf Architects, will quadruple interior galleries while also creating stunning outdoor gathering

spaces, including seaside terraces and an art park.

“NEH is pleased to support the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s La Jolla campus expansion,” said NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede. “This exciting project will help MCASD better serve the public by putting more of its significant collection of contemporary art on display.”

The federal grant comes with an obligation.

“We have to match every dollar,” Kanjo said. “We need to raise $3 million to receive that $750,000 grant.

This grant brings us to $81 million in monies raised. We need another $20 million.”

In the two years that MCASD La Jolla has been closed for reconstruction, the property has been cleared and excavation work has been underway.

“Much of the new building is going to be two stories, and all the parking is

going to be underground,” said Kanjo, noting construction work so far has i­ nvolved supporting the museum’s structural foundation.

Noting they’re still formulating the timeline for final completion of the museum renovation project, Kanjo said it’s looking like it could be completed “before the end of the year in fall 2021.”

The museum director said the retrofit will be worth the long wait.

“It’s going to be very dramatic,” Kanjo said. “Besides quadrupling our gallery space, it will allow us to highlight our global collection, the strength of which is art from California and Latin America. This also supports our outdoor public spaces that come with the [indoor] galleries — a new art park plaza and two new exterior ocean terraces.”

Founded in 1941, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is the preeminent contemporary visual arts institution in San

Diego County. The museum’s collection includes more than 4,700 works of art created since 1950. In addition to presenting exhibitions by international contemporary artists, the museum serves thousands of children and adults annually at its varied education programs, and offers a rich program of film, performance and lectures.

Opened in 1941, MCASD La Jolla has previously undergone several architectural expansions: La Jolla architects Mosher & Drew completed a series of expansions in 1950, 1960 and the late 1970s; and Venturi Scott Brown & Associates did an entryway renovation in 1996.

MCASD is a private, nonprofit organization, with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. It is supported by generous contributions and grants from MCASD members and other individuals, corporations, foundations and government agencies.

Ruth Mitchell, a local author, recently wrote a science fiction book set in and around University City.

Her book “Deleted” is a speculative young adult novel set in the near future. In this book, described as “Inception” meets “Wargames,” a couple of UCSD students discover how to hack into people’s memories. There is also a love story, some adventure, science and reflection.

Anyone familiar with University City will recognize landmarks and enjoy the prominent role the setting takes in this book. Pursued by the hacker who has erased her from everyone’s memory, the main character spends a lot of time hiding in Rose and Marian Bear Canyons.

Mitchell has lived in University City since 2005, is a former reporter turned stay-at-home mom, and researched her novel by tapping into the talent of our community.

She consulted professors from UCSD and computer scientists who worked for the military and Qualcomm.

“Deleted” is described by one Goodreads reviewer as “a fresh story with intense action, sweet romance, super cool science, and great themes” and is now available for purchase on Amazon. If your book club is interested in having the author attend your meeting, you can email her at NINE-TEN February 7 Ad.pdf 1 01/21/2020 ruthannmitch@gmail.com.

Several attendees requested that the plan update require this be kept as a golf course or open space and not be allowed to be rezoned for housing.

- Louis Rodolico introduced himself as a candidate for Council District 1. He discussed the missing road connections in our community.

He talked about the issue of in-lieu fees being too low, discouraging developers from including more affordable housing units.

Human responses to witnessing violence, injury, and destruction Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. As I was watching a game of professional football at a friend’s house, I heard their teenaged boys gasp at what appeared to be bad falls. The gasps were not in pity for the injured, but in awe of their physical prowess.

It was a pleasurable “wow.” When there was an attempt to minimize the roughness of football because of the consequent brain injuries due to concussions, there was an outcry by football fans to leave things as they are.

Humans enjoy seeing violence. To wit: boxing. In Roman times, throwing Christians to the lions was entertainment seen by more than 50,000 people in the Colosseum. Gladiators fighting to the death in the same

­ rena had audiences cheering. In a the Middle Ages, public hangings drew crowds. Centuries later, it was beheadings by guillotine and the burning of witches that drew onlookers. What was considered entertainment in the past would be seen as horrendous today.

I sometimes catch myself staring at a car accident as I drive by, somehow fascinated by the damage. People slow down to stare, creating traffic problems. I have witnessed street incidents where people gather to look at the wounded until the paramedics arrive and need to disperse the crowd in order to get to the injured. I look at my TV screen in awe at fires and floods devastating whole communities. I don’t turn away; I am caught up by images of devastation — nature at its fiercest. I am mesmerized by huge waves crashing under my window during a storm.

The popularity of violent movies also speaks to the voyeuristic pleasure of witnessing destruction. For some people there is excitement,

emotional arousal that feels satisfying. Other people like me stay away from scary movies because feeling frightened is overwhelming. I also avoid scenes of people or animals being abused and suffering as it gives me visceral pain. Destructive images seen by our brains cannot be unseen.

I have also stopped reading about such events, not wanting to incorporate those images into my psyche.

There are several theories that explain our fascination with violent occurrences. There is relief that it’s “not me” in the accident we are witnessing. There is also release of our own lethal urges: “better to see it than do it.”

According to Dr. John Mayer, a clinical psychologist, witnessing violence and destruction triggers the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for emotions, survival, and memory. This in turn helps us confront our own fears of pain and death while feeling safe. The brain does not differentiate between witnessing incidents in a movie, on TV,

in a book, or in reality. Our hearts beat faster when frightened, and we cry at sad scenes. The reason we keep staring at the unfolding disaster is that we feel intense emotions without risking harm.

Traumatic events create a stronger psychological arousal compared to positive events. For some, they trigger their own survival preparedness: What would they do in similar circumstances? Some people need stimulation; driving fast, bungee jumping, and skydiving elicit a pleasurable high. For others like me, it would create unbearable anxiety, and I would do anything to prevent myself from being in such situations.

I believe it may be a genetic propensity that makes some people feel more alive by risk-taking, while for others, the extra stimulation takes them to an unpleasant place.

In watching matadors perform in bullfights and riders in a rodeo, we see people tempting death. We look at them with admiration at their daring acts, allowing us again to

feel fright while feeling safe. What is new today is that suffering of animals has become a contentious issue. There are outcries against the painful deaths endured by the bulls and the agony endured by the horses and cattle bucking in rodeos in an attempt to stop the pain of the tight strap encircling their backs and stomachs.

We have banned dogfights and cockfights in the U.S., but cockfights are still prevalent in Mexico and other parts of the world. There are new objections to animals being used for entertainment in circuses and SeaWorld stadiums. I find it heartening that we are moving away from the witnessing of violence and pain as acceptable entertainment. Civilization is the control of our more lethal urges.

Concert honoring Black History Month to feature MLK Choir By: Samantha Webster | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS In honor of Black History Month, Bodhi Tree Concerts is producing a concert called “The Long Dark Shadow” at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. This concert will honor and reflect on the struggles throughout black history.

During the first part of the concert, the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Choir, commonly known as the MLK Choir, will sing a selection of gospel songs and spirituals to remember black leaders, both celebrated and forgotten.

“This time of year, the focus is on remembering the struggle,” says the director of the MLK choir, Ken Anderson. Anderson was integral in the choir’s inception; in addition to leading the choir, Anderson also leads the gospel choir at UC San Diego and is a pastor at his church.

“This month, we think of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman. For all the names we know, there are thousands of names we will never know.”

The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Choir was formed 30 years ago out of a Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Choir. The commemorative choir met annually to celebrate MLK Day through music and raise funds to support college students studying the performing or visual arts. Today, the choir tours domestically and internationally, and it still raises money to support students studying the arts.

The second part of the concert will feature the cantata “And They Lynched Him on a Tree,” which was composed in the 1940s by black composer William Grant Still. This work will feature the MLK Choir in conversation with a second choir, and contralto soloist,

Judith Malone, who represents the mother of the lynched victim. This unique and disturbing piece will be conducted by David Chase, former music director of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus.

Chase selected this work not only because he wanted to share a beautiful piece of music obscured throughout history, but because he wanted to start the discussion it may incite.

“I’m hoping that it will have a big effect and make people think about the subject of race and justice,” says Chase. “The piece makes you stop and think about lynching and the injustices between the races. This is an opportunity to make great music that would have an important impact on the audience.”

“The spirituals are inspiring,” says Chase, “but I think putting them in context with the Still cantata is what makes this concert distinct from other spirituals and gospel concerts.”

The first performance of “The Long Dark Shadow” will be on Saturday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m., at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal

‘Ornament a la Mode:’ exploring jewelry from the 1600s Fashion Files Diana Cavagnaro The Timken Museum hosted ‘Ornament a la Mode’ on Jan. 27, in Balboa Park. Jacquelyn Babush provided an informative lecture on jewelry in the time frame of 1600 to 1775. This was the late Renaissance through the mid-Georgian era. Babush gave an educational presentation, which included the trends in fashion during this time with the aristocratic classes. As trends changed in fashion, jewelry would follow the scale and line of the fashion. Babush first started with a picture of Queen Elizabeth,

whose dress was encrusted with jewels. Both fabrics and jewelry were considered a status symbol and lace was as important as diamonds.

One of the popular pieces of jewelry was the “ouches,” which were sewn into the clothes. When Charles I died, people started wearing mourning jewelry that became a trend. During Queen Anne’s era, the fashions became relaxed with very little jewelry. By 1750, the Rococo era began and saw the appearance of the stomacher jewel that became more and more ornate. By 1726, diamonds were discovered in Brazil, allowing them to become more of the focal point.

Jewelry with flower designs were sought after because they all had meaning such as the tulip, which

symbolized wealth and abundance.

“Slides” were beginning to be used, which were two loops in the back of a brooch where you could insert a ribbon to wear around the neck. The trend for jewelry waned in 1730 and not much jewelry was worn at that time. During the mid-’70s, there was no jewelry although they would wear one pendant such as a Sévigné bow girandole. This continued up to the time of Marie Antoinette, who lavishly wore jewelry.

There was a part two of the presentation that included 38 pieces of Babush’s personal collection of jewelry from this time period. Trays with jewelry were passed around to each of the guests, allowing them to have “hands-on” time with each piece. This was a wonderful opportunity to inspect jewelry from the 1600s and the 1700s. After this amazing lecture, everyone was able to purchase the precious pieces of art and 10% went back to the museum. For more information, visit rubylane.com.

The first exhibition of 2020 at the Timken will begin Feb. 11, and will be “Captivating Women” from the San Diego-based collectors, Bram and Sandra Dijkstra. It marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution giving women the right to vote.

Twenty undergraduate students in the art history course at University of San Diego had the opportunity to pick five works of art at the Dijkstras’ home for the exhibit. Timken’s Director of Curatorial Affairs Derrick R. Cartwright, Ph.D., taught

Chen, who also plays club soccer, says she has grown while serving as a team captain in her junior and senior years: “I have had to learn how to deal with teammates of all ages. I am outgoing. As a leader, I don’t want to make enemies, but if two teammates are having trouble, sometimes I have to address it.”

Nicknamed “Juju” by her soccer teammates, Chen is working in an internship at UCSD in computational neuroscience. Two older siblings, Skye and Jonathan, work in computation.

She has been accepted to MIT, a Division 3 school, to play soccer.

Browne, who also stars in field hockey for the Lady Knights, says of

her fellow seniors, “We’ve basically played together throughout high school. We’ve grown together. I always look forward to winter sports season.”

The 5-foot, 4-inch three-sport athlete plans to play field hockey at Dartmouth next year. In soccer, she sees the blossoming of teammate Gabby Scott, a junior. “Even though she’s been a starter for three years, I’ve seen Gabby grow in confidence to the point [where] she is a force to deal with on the field.”

Linnard, a sprinter for the Knights track team, plans to study oceanography or quantitative economics at the U.S. Naval Academy. “My main dream is to be a jet fighter pilot flying an F35 Lightning II,” the extroverted senior says. “Then I would like to be a flight surgeon.”

Harvey, the team’s goalie, was accepted to Boston University. At midseason, she was out with mononucleosis and unable to participate in practice.

Caroline Twyman, a left midfielder/forward for the Bishop’s soccer team, has overcome personal doubts to achieve in three sports, as well as academics at the rigorous private school.

“Something I’ve had to tell myself a lot lately is, if I wasn’t meant to be here, I wouldn’t have been given the opportunity,” confides the 5-foot, 8-inch offensive player for second-year coach Yuki Zeigler’s team, who doubles up in the spring for the Knights to play defense in lacrosse and run the 200-meter and 4x100 relay in track.

“I listen to a lot of political commentary,” says the 17-year-old senior, who plans to pursue studies in political science at Yale next fall. She is one of five seniors on the soccer squad. “I listened to a podcast on upwards comparison, the tendency for humans to compare ourselves to those above us, instead of below us. So, we’re always feeling behind.

“So, I took from the podcast that everything is relative. That has helped me a lot in dealing with doubt.”

Zeigler, who previously served as an assistant in the Knights program for four years, is a big advocate for her seniors: Twyman; Julia Chen, a center back/outside back; Lila Browne, a midfielder/forward; Christie Linnard, a left/center back; and goalkeeper Kasey Harvey.

“We haven’t had a great season thus far, but I’ve got some very smart, dedicated kids that will make a difference in this world,” says Zeigler, who

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Bishop’s boys soccer: Henderson, Parviz bring physicality, fire

By Ed Piper | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS There is a spirit within the Bishop’s soccer team, and it combines passion and technical skill. But there is also fire, like the fire that senior defensive back Parviz Henderson brings.

Says Wyatt Linggi, a freshman wing and striker on offense, “When Parviz tells you something, you know he means it. After a play, he’ll say, ‘It needs to be less sloppy.’ Or if

it’s good, he’ll say, ‘I like the way you (did something).’ I like that.”

Says Logan Schwarz, a center defensive midfielder, “Parviz is commanding on the field. Physically, for sure, but also with his voice. He’s really good at getting the energy level of the team where it needs to be.”

In all, a senior core of Schwarz, Henderson, striker Alonso Garcia, left wing Julen Givelber, goalie Timmy Kelly, left back Mohammed Samb,

Nothing says ‘love’ like National Pizza Day SQUARE PIZZA CO.

You don’t need a special day or even an excuse to do it. It’s something we all do. Some people do it before bed, some at midday, and more than you think do it cold in the morning. It’s perfectly normal.

Eating pizza is a national pastime.

In San Diego’s beach communities, there are a variety of pizzas to choose from – from healthy cauliflower crust to Detroit-style sheet pizza to old-school Italian hot pies – you’re going to find a slice of love.

With National Pizza Day this weekend on Feb. 9, San Diego Community Newspaper Group decided to highlight some of the local pizzas that our readers may enjoy.

LA JOLLA BERNINI’S BISTRO This local favorite has been a community staple for 22 years offering a wide variety of woodfired pizzas. Whether you’re filling up on your greens with the Nature Lovers pizza — drizzled with caramelized onions, grilled zucchini and jumbo white beans — or catering to your inner carnivore with the prosciutto, Canadian bacon sausage and all the other toppings that come with Everything But The Kitchen Sink, there’s something for everyone at Bernini’s.

Owners Hamdi and Reyhan Gumustekin have been making pizza for over 29 years, first starting in Vancouver, British Columbia after Hamdi immigrated to Canada with $500 in his pocket and an engineering license from Turkey.

The La Jolla couple has been in the restaurant business ever since, and they say they have their regular customers to thank — and their unique oven.

“We have one of the top ovens here,” said Hamdi. “It came from Italy, and it rotates the bottom of the pizza slowly so it cooks perfectly even.”

“But we’re also blessed with the nicest customers,” said Reyhan. “A lot of our regular customers have turned into friends.”

Bernini’s Bistro’s Everything But The Kitchen Sink pizza features mozzarella, grilled peppers, grilled zucchini, mushrooms, grilled Spanish onions, pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, prosciutto and garlic oil. COURTESY PHOTO

PIAZZA 1909 This Italian spot brought back a historic La Jolla beach house first built in 1909 that was dubbed “The Brodiaea.” Now restored to the classic yet contemporary setting it’s known for, owners Roberta Ruffini-Ceresoli and Stefano Ceresoli opened the restaurant in 2015, naming it after the Italian word “Piazza,” which describes an “open space in the center of public life.”

Naturally, their pizzas mimic the couple’s Italian roots with savory combinations like Crudo & Rucola’s mozzarella, tomato, parma prosciutto and arugula or Cotto & Funghi’s mozzarella, tomato “cotto” hame and mushrooms.

PIZZA PRONTO Boasting as one of the first pizza shops ever in La Jolla, Pizza Pronto offers freshly made pizza in clas-

sic styles for both Cheese Lovers (a delicious blend of ricotta, feta and mozzarella) and Meat Lovers (a yummy combination of pepperoni, ham, bacon and sausage) as well as some more unique options like the Philly Pizza, Chicken Bacon Ranch or Mushroom White. And of course, you can’t forget the must-have homemade red sauce.

The eatery also has a variety of salads, pastas, wraps, sandwiches and even kabobs on its menu.

PAC I F I C B E AC H POWERHAUS WHOLESOME PIZZA & EATS Powerhaus Wholesome Pizza & Eats really packs a culinary wallop, serving wholesome pizzas, superfood smoothies, nourishing wraps, unique salads and kombucha on tap. A variety of pizzas to meet customers’ health needs are offered including high protein crusts, two glu-

ten-free options, a traditional garlic herb made with organic flour, and a unique and crispy cauliflower crust.

Powerhaus uses only wholesome, nutritious, all-natural and organic ingredients. Dairy is grass-fed, and all meats used are naturally raised with plant-based, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.

“At Powerhaus Wholesome Pizza & Eats, we serve an elevated and health-driven take of the craveable foods you love,” said pizzeria owner Anisha Blodgett. “Our pizzas are made with nutritious, natural, organic, grass-fed, and farm-fresh ingredients. We provide vegan, gluten-free, and macro-friendly options to meet your health needs. Visit our beach-themed restaurant in Pacific Beach. We’re here to feed the yogi, adventurer and athlete in you to nourish your body and power your soul.”

The eatery is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Powerhaus Wholesome Pizza & Eats. 1550 Garnet Ave. 858-8867666. Powerhauspizza.com.

For something a little different, Square Pizza offers thin-crust Boston Beach Pizza, upside-down Sicilian, and Detroit-style pies. The pizzeria owners grew up in the North Shore of Boston, where there’s a style of pizza called “Beach Pizza,” which they decided to bring to San Diego. But they didn’t stop there, on a trip to Brooklyn they tried pizza where cheese went down first, then sauce on top. It looked and sounded different, and they loved it. Then they included Detroit’s favorite sheet pizza that has a soft yet crispy bottom dough, caramelized cheese around the edges and housemade sauce on top. All three styles are available, along with gluten-free options, for an amazing pizza experience.

“We took the best of local favorites from Boston, New York, and Detroit and put our spin on it to make great pizza,” said Fred Santos, Square Pizza Co. owner.

MARINO’S ITALIAN RESTAURANT A classic, sit-down, family-run, time-honored classic Italian restaurant in Pacific Beach, Marino’s Italian Restaurant is considered by many to be a hidden gem.

“Our family-owned business has been serving PB since 1954,” said restaurant spokeswoman Camille Gordon-Kling. “Our pizza dough and sauce has been made the same way, by hand, for the last 66 years.

Try it with sausage, made in house, or fresh veggies.”

Hours at this old-school neighborhood venue offering traditional pizza and various pasta dishes in vibrant, colorful surrounds are 4 to 9 p.m. daily.

New bake-at-home pizza concept to open in La Jolla

By Emily Blackwood | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS While dining out will forever be a pastime most of us enjoy, a new pizza concept aims to bring families back to the dinner table without going through the hassle of whipping up a meal.

Opening at 7402 La Jolla Blvd., in early 2020, American Pizza Manufacturing (APM) will offer freshy made, ready-to-bake thin-crust, Neapolitan-style pizzas along with pastas, salads and even desserts. All you have to do is order your meal — which can be done through the APM app, website, phone or at the counter — pick it up and bake it in the oven.

“We make everything from scratch in the restaurant to order, but everything is packaged to be thrown in the oven and cooked at home,” said APM founder Andrew Melone, who sees this new concept as a better alternative to traditional delivery pizza.

“You get a much fresher, better tasting product at home that’s ready when you want it.”

Plus, all the ingredients are locally sourced and organic when available. So, parents can feel like they’re “feeding their kids the best kind of food,” even when it’s pizza night at home.
