SEAL SAGA CONTINUES
Stench may be ebbing but battle brews again over seal-pupping barrier
By DAVE SCHWAB
RESTROOM REDUX
Though foul smells at the Cove emanating from sea lion and bird droppings appears to have abated, the City Council is preparing to grapple Feb. 24 with another pinniped matter — the divisive issue of whether to prohibit public access to Children’s Pool Beach during harbor-seal pupping season. Reports from lifeguards, District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office and the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) indicate the problem with persistent foul smells from the Cove has subsided — at least for now. However, it’s difficult to determine if that change can be attributed to a new weeks-old city policy allowing humans out

GOING, GOING, ALMOST GONE Crews worked to demolish the old northern bathroom, changing area and shower facility at La Jolla Shores recently. A more modern facility is being planned at the site to replace it. A newer facility at the southern end of Kellogg Park is still open to pick up any extra needs for beachgoers. At right, a worker puts his back into the project at hand. DON BALCH
STINKY SITUATION The Cove stench from seal and bird droppings that has plagued some visitors and nearby business owners for some time may have dissipated because of natural tidal flushing or the city’s recent decision to allow humans to encroach onto the bluffs — perhaps even both. COURTESY PHOTO
LJCPA rejects Hillel EIR report as deficient

PROJECT TURNED AWAY Local planners rejected a draft environmental impact report for the proposed Hillel Jewish Student Center at this triangular parcel across from UCSD adjoining a single-family subdivision at the intersection of La Jolla Village Drive, La Jolla Village Drive North and La Jolla Scenic Way.

Community planners cast a thumbs-down vote to plans which would lay the groundwork for redeveloping an estate-size parcel on Country Club Drive, as well as nixing a revised draft environmental impact report (EIR) for the controversial Hillel Jewish Student Center project, labeling it as deficient. Those were the highlights of the Feb. 6 meeting of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA). The advisory group makes land-use recommendations to the city. La Jolla architect Jim Alcorn and Greg Shannon of Sedona Pacific Corporation presented plans to subdivide a 25-acre site, known as The Reserve, at 6850 Country Club Drive. The property is Copley Press’s sole remaining asset. Developers want it broken down into three separate
Members of the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) addressed a range of issues during their February meeting, including kayak concessionaires and changing regulations governing them, optical problems with the Shores’ lifeguard and rules regulating commercial vehicles parked in residential neighborhoods. The city advisory group heard from lifeguards that a solution is in the works for problems arising from tinted glass in their new lifeguard tower.

Faulconer outmuscles Alvarez in hard-fought mayoral runoff In a hotly contested special election for mayor with lower-than-expected voter turnout, Republican City Councilman Kevin Faulconer (District 2) outpolled rival Democratic City Councilman David Alvarez (District 8) by a 6-point margin. With 100 percent of the ballots counted in all 582 precincts, Faulconer collected 153,063 votes (53 percent) to Alvarez’s 134,679 (47 percent). “The people of San Diego have sent a message tonight,” said Faulconer, 47, of Point Loma during his electionnight speech to cheering supporters. “And it is loud and clear. You want an independent voice. “You want a mayor that will bring San Diego together,” he continued. “You want a mayor that will continue the reforms that you voted for, to create the city that you deserve. I will be that mayor.” Alvarez, 33, was gracious on election night as he conceded the contest. “I want to congratulate Kevin Faulconer,” tweeted Alvarez. “It’s clear that he will be the next mayor of San Diego. I am looking forward to working with him and interim Mayor

With all 582 precincts reporting, the San Diego County Registrar of Voters Office reports the following election results in the Feb. 11 mayoral runoff election. Results are semi-official and 1,000 absentee/mail-in ballots are yet to be counted.

Todd Gloria to move our city forward. Once again, thank you to the fantastic volunteers and supporters. I am truly proud of you.” Cynthia Paes, assistant registrar for San Diego County, said election officials have 28 days to certify the results. She added voter turnout was nearly 38 percent. “We were expecting at least 45 percent,” Paes said, who adding the actual turnout number was “pretty average” compared with other counties in similar circumstances statewide.
VOTES: 153,063 (53%)
City Clerk Liz Maland said Faulconer’s swearing in is tentatively set for March 3 or March 10. The City Council will need to appoint an interim councilmember to fill Faulconer’s seat because Faulconer is termed out after two four-year stints, said Maland. The appointed replacement will serve until Faulconer’s term officially expires in December, even though a primary election for District 2 is set for June 3. If none of the candidates in the primary election garner 51 per-
cent of the vote, a runoff election will be scheduled for Nov. 4, Maland said. Meanwhile, Faulconer will serve out the remaining nearly three years of disgraced former Mayor Bob Filner. Filner resigned Aug. 30 — just nine months into his term — after numerous women came forward to allege he sexually harassed them. Faulconer’s departure to serve as mayor decreases the Republican City Council minority from 5-4 to 5-3, although the City Council is technically a nonpartisan political body. If a

Protected marine areas beginning to grow teeth in La Jolla on what’s being proposed,” said coastal access and parking board chairman Dan Allen. “All these things are very expensive and no money will be spent until we have the concept,” said LJTC president Cindy Greatrex. Zach Plopper, coastal and marine director for Wildcoast, an international nonprofit conserving coastal and marine ecosystems and wildlife, told the trustees San Diego now has several MPAs in effect up and down the coast. These MPAs, he said, totally preclude or severely limit the take of fish and other marine wildlife within their boundaries. La Jolla has two adjoining MPAs at the South La Jolla State Marine Conservation Area and South La Jolla State Reserve, which togther cover 7.51 square miles. They are two of 36 new marine protected areas adopted by the California Department of Fish and Game Commission as part of the Marine
Life Protection Act. The new MPAs took effect in 2012. “The MPAs are designed to allow fisheries to recover, as well as the general ecosystem that has been degraded,” Plopper said. He added that some MPAs “allow no taking of living or nonliving resources” within their boundaries. Plopper handed out and discussed fishing guides that are provided by Wildcoast concerning San Diego’s marine protected areas. The guides define the three types of marine protected areas in San Diego and provide details for what is, and what is not allowed in terms of fishing within the boundaries. “We’re getting word out to the public that we’re enforcing these regulations and posting signage,” said Plopper. Ongoing data collection from MPAs like La Jolla’s are “important to planning and managing our coastline,” he said.

Going solar to power one’s home also saves consumers money by “locking in” electricity rates, resultingly affording protection from rate increases in the future, she pointed out. “Electricity has been increasing yearly by an average of 6 percent,” said Bessinger. La Jolla’s Solar Incentive Program is exlusive to La Jolla property owners and is limited to 100 participants, or 500,000 watts, whichever comes first. Bessinger also offered the Town Council its own solar incentive. “For every referral who signs a solar contract with Sullivan Solar Power that comes from the La Jolla Town Council Foundation, Sullivan will donate $500 to the Town Council for community projects in La Jolla,” Bessinger said.

By DAVE SCHWAB Four alternative routes for the proposed Coastal Rail Trail (CRT) bikeand-hike pathway project were unveiled Feb. 5 at a public workshop at Nobel Recreation Center. The Coastal Rail Trail (CRT) is a regional project that will establish a multi-use trail, including bike paths, to better connect the coastal cities of Oceanside, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and San Diego. The city project consists of 10 miles of multi-use trails extending from Carmel Valley Road at the northern point to Gilman Drive on the southern end. This segment of the trail will provide important connections between regional employment centers in Sorrento Valley, UCSD and University City, residential communities to the north and south,

Property owners who sign up with Sullivan Solar Power will receive 20 cents per watt, up to $1,500 cash back for going solar. “Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy available to us,” said Bessinger, adding that 87 percent of solar power used nationally comes from California. “San Diego is the No. 1 solar city in the No. 1 solar state,” said Bessinger. Even with this fact in mind, Bessinger said less than 1 percent of the state’s energy comes from renewable sources like solar. “There’s lots of room to grow,” said Bessinger, who pointed out converting from electrical to solar not only saves money in the long run but also is a “clean and renew-

La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) trustees heard a presentation this month about a cash-back solar incentive program and were updated on marine protected areas (MPA) that bar fishing in order to replenish species in select offshore locations, including two in the La Jolla area. The LJTC also voted to conceptually approve five points proposed by the La Jolla Coastal Access and Parking Board. That proposal calls for continuing the employee discounted parking-pass program, installing a smartphone-based system to track parking-space vacancies, an unsubsidized central valet parking system, funding startup of a selfsustaining Village shuttle and buying a high-tech parking monitoring system for San Diego police to enforce existing time limits. “We’re hoping the City Council and Coastal Commission can come back to us and give their opinion

A (killer) whale of a controversy divides students, SeaWorld Point Loma High School (PLHS) students continued their crusade to convince SeaWorld to stop using marine animals for entertainment, cutting another public-service announcement to invite the local theme park to provide its side of the story regarding the treatment of killer whales portrayed in the documentary “Blackfish,” a controversial documentary that aired recently on CNN. Point Loma Cinematic Arts Program teacher Anthony Palmiotto and his students invited “Blackfish” director Gabriela Cowperthwaite to answer student questions Feb. 3 during a panel discussion in the school’s cinematic theater, which included student activist Max Guinn, founder of Kids Eco Club, and marine biologist Dr. Toni Frohoff. Although SeaWorld San Diego officials have strongly decried the accuracy of the documentary and defended their animal-care practices in a pushback to the “Blackfish” program, they were invited — but did not participate — in the panel discussion. “Blackfish” explores the 2010 accidental death of SeaWorld’s Dawn Brancheau, trainer of the orca Tilikum, and is critical of keeping killer whales in captivity and using them to perform in shows. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013, then went

mainstream in October when it was featured on CNN and became the subject of several CNN news features. Though they declined to participate in the PLHS panel discussion, SeaWorld officials issued the following statement: “As we responded a few weeks ago to the filmmaker’s debate challenge, we have no interest in helping promote a film this dishonest and manipulative,” said SeaWorld San Diego spokesman Dave Koontz. “Our position has not changed,” continued the statement. “We did not receive any specific invitation from the school regarding today’s screenings. We would like to thank Kearny High School for inviting us to provide a SeaWorld presentation to their students last week. We applaud the school’s desire to provide its students information on both sides of the issue to help them make a more informed decision. It’s unfortunate that we did not receive invitations from the other schools to provide a SeaWorld presentation to their students.” During the Feb. 3 panel discussion, Cowperthwaite described herself as a “mom who’d taken her children to visit Sea World,” saying she didn’t set out with any preconceived notions or to do an expose on the marine

park. “I was making a documentary about trainers and their relationships with apex [top] predators, almost a philosophical film,” Cowperthwaite said. “It wasn’t going to be controversial.” But as she delved deeper into the story, “I began peeling back the onion and started to realize, shockingly, the
truth,” Cowperthwaite said. Marine biologist Dr. Toni Frohoff said scientists “have an obligation when we find dolphins and whales we’re studying are dying and languishing in captivity to speak out. It’s not a matter of being animal-rights activists. It’s a matter of scientists being responsible to populations of animals and the habitats they live in.”
Asked if “Blackfish” has caused SeaWorld to make any changes in its business model, Cowperthwaite replied, “We sometimes hear rumblings that they might be changing the environment of the sea lion pool or making

SeaWorld: The truth about animal treatment is in our parks and people whale from the wild in 35 years. In fact, only two of the whales in our care were collected by SeaWorld and they continue to be in our care today. In addition, our research has led to a much greater understanding of whales in the wild, giving researchers important scientific insights surrounding marine-mammal reproduction. • We do not separate killer whale moms and calves. SeaWorld recognizes the important bond between mother and calf. On the rare occasion that a mother killer whale cannot care for the calf herself, we have successfully hand-raised and reintroduced the calf. Whales are only moved to maintain a healthy social structure. • SeaWorld invests millions of dollars in the care of our killer whales. In the last three years alone, we have invested $70 million in our killer whale habitats and millions of dollars annually in support of these facilities. Our habitats are among
the largest in the world today. They are state-of-the-art, multimilliongallon environments of cooled and filtered water that allow for the highest and safest standards of care. We give our animals restaurant-quality fish, exercise, veterinary care, mental stimulation and the company of other members of their species. SeaWorld’s killer whales’ life spans are equivalent with those in the wild. While studies continue to define the average life span of killer whales in the wild, the most recent science suggests that our killer whales’ life spans are comparable. Indeed, five of our animals are older than 30, and one of our whales is close to 50. The killer whales in our care benefit those in the wild. We work with universities, governmental agencies and NGOs to increase the body of knowledge about and the understanding of killer whales — from their anatomy and reproductive biology to their auditory abilities.
entists.” “The Kids Eco Club teaches environmentalism and this is a really big issue, and we thought it was important for kids to hear both sides of the argument so they can decide who’s right or wrong,” said Guinn, when asked why he organized the “Blackfish” panel discussion. Frohoff said orcas in the wild are “some of the most peaceful of all social species,” adding she felt captivity may cause some of them to become stressed and “pathological.” Frohoff said it’s impractical to try and take orcas that have lived their entire lives in captivity and unleash them into the wild where they would-
n’t know how to take care of themselves without human care. But there might be a middle ground, she suggested, through the creation of “sanctuaries,” fenced-off, more natural habitats where people could observe them, but where orcas and other marine mammals wouldn’t be forced to perform like circus animals for human entertainment. A student asked Cowperthwaite who they should believe in the orca debate — SeaWorld or their critics. “Don’t trust either of us,” she said. “Go and do your own research. I want to encourage you all to do your own critical thinking.”

An open letter from SeaWorld’s animal advocates: Inaccurate reports recently have generated questions about SeaWorld and the animals in our care. The truth is in our parks and people, and it’s time to set the record straight. The men and women of SeaWorld are true animal advocates. We are the 1,500 scientists, researchers, veterinarians, trainers, marine biologists, aquarists, aviculturists, educators and conservationists who have dedicated our lives to the animals in our care, as well as those in the wild that are injured, ill or orphaned. Whether it’s a sea lion, manatee, sea turtle or whale, we are on call 24/7. Here are some important facts about SeaWorld and our work: • SeaWorld does not capture killer whales in the wild. Due to the groundbreaking success of our research in marine-mammal reproduction, we haven’t collected a killer

She added that she and others challenging Sea World’s methods are being branded by some as “crazy activist sci-

Some populations of wild killer whales have been classified as endangered or threatened, demonstrating the potential critical nature of these research opportunities. This type of controlled research and study is simply not possible in the wild, and has significant real-world benefits to the killer whales that live there. SeaWorld is a world leader in animal rescue. The millions of people who visit our parks each year make possible SeaWorld’s world-re-nowned work in rescue, rehabilitation and release. We are constantly innovating when it comes to this care: Our veterinarians have created nursing bottles to hand-feed orphaned whales, prosthetics to save sea turtles and a wetsuit to help injured manatees stay afloat during rehabilitation. Whether it’s the result of natural or man-made disasters, SeaWorld is always on call and often the first to be contacted. We have rescued more than 23,000 animals with the goal of treating and returning them to the wild.
Naturalist Baba Dioum put it best when he said, “In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we have been taught.” At SeaWorld, this has been our calling since we first opened our doors 50 years ago. It is a responsibility we do not take lightly. More than 400 million guests have visited SeaWorld. We are proud that their experiences here have a lasting and positive impact on them, and on the world in which we live. The truth about SeaWorld is right here in our parks and people. Our guests may enter our gates having never given much thought to the remarkable animals in our oceans. When they leave with a greater appreciation for the importance of the sea, educated about the animals that live there and inspired to make a difference, we have done our job.

He said 75 percent of the 25-acre site is designated open space, precluding development.

News prehensive set of design guidelines has been formulated to carefully direct development of the estate site. Johnson said planners, if they were to accept the project as is, would essentially be “approving this footprint right now.” “What you should be saying right now is you need more information,” Johnson said. LCPA trustees agreed. After initialing voted 5-9-1 against approving the project as proposed, the board re-voted 14-0-1 in favor of a different motion requesting that an environmental impact report be done, as well as a substantial conformance review to determine if the proposed project would meet all applicable zoning and land-use provisions. A draft EIR for a downsized Jewish student center — proposed on a triangular parcel across from UCSD adjoining a single-family La Jolla subdivision — was also nixed by a 12-1-1 vote of the LJCPA board. Originally proposed in 2000 but significantly downscaled since, the project is on a remnant land parcel (Site 653) that neighbors insist should be kept as an open-space buffer between the university and residents.

will be an asset to the neighborhood,” said Michael Rabkin, Hillel’s executive director. Rabkin described Hillel as “an independent religious corporation serving the religious needs of Jewish college students.” Some neighbors didn’t agree with Rabkin’s perception of the project, arguing the facility would be a Jewish student center serving the needs of the university, not the surrounding neighborhood. Neighbor Ross Starr said the proposed Hillel Center for Jewish Life “is not really a church, temple or building used for religious purposes. On the contrary, it is a student activity center, not a religious institution.”
Attorney Julie Hamilton, representing neighbors opposed to the Hillel project, characterized the project’s design analysis and EIR as “completely deficient.” LJCPA trustees voted overwhelming to attach several conditions agreed to previously by a subcommittee, which determined that a number of environmental issues in the Hillel EIR still need to be addressed. Among them are the building’s seating capacity, increased traffic in the area, the adequacy of onsite parking and tall windows in the buildings, which could create light pollution spilling over into the adjacent residential neighborhood.

San Diego Lifeguard Services Sgt. Ben Lewis told community planners that a glitch with the tower’s tinted glass, causing glare and “ghost images,” is being mitigated by smaller beach lookout posts. “It’s a public safety concern caused by glare producing an obstruction to lifeguards’ views,” said Lewis. “A post on the beach is being staffed four hours a day when the glare is at its worst in the afternoon to compensate.” Greg Parkington of District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office said a collaboration is under way between the city and lifeguards to “implement the right solution, not just tear things down.” “Our office is working to make sure things are on the right track to get a solution done by the summer,” Parker said. Five remaining kayak operators in La Jolla Shores are working with Lifeguard Services and the city on a new RFP (request for proposals), which will regulate how they operate in the future. The current RFP, which is about to expire, was first instituted in March 2009. At that time, at the

reject the new mayor’s agenda. “What happens is there will be 30 business days, once the seat is vacant, to apply for a special appointment to fill out the term of [Faulconer’s] seat,” Maland said. “It’s a major process requiring the gathering of at least 50 signatures.” Maland said the interim Council District 2 representative would likely be seated in April. The interim councilmember will not be allowed under the city’s charter to run for the full District 2 term in the June election, Maland said. Maland said whoever wins the race for District 2 — either in the primary or a runoff election — would not be inaugurated and seated until December. Faulconer will have the distinction of becoming the only Republican mayor in any of America’s 10 largest cities.
behest of lifeguards, a city-mandated lottery draft was imposed to curb kayak proliferation during busy summer weekends at the Shores, which was reportedly monopolizing lifeguards’ time and jeopardizing public safety. Kayak operator and LJSA board member Chris Lynch of Everyday California, said “new regulations for kayak concessionaires are going to happen in November.” Lynch said Shores kayak operators are committed to “doing our best for the community” and are reinvesting a lot of money into rebuilding new shops. “We want to mitigate any concerns,” Lynch said. Other board members noted the changing circumstances. “Every three years, the city goes through a new RFP process for determining new concessions for kayaks and surf camps,” said LJSA chairman Tim Lucas. Shores kayak operator and LJSA board member Sharon Luscomb urged the five remaining concessionaires in the community to “work
together to come up with solutions for problems.” “The city would be much happier if we have a group consensus of suggestions on issues, like trucks (transporting kayaks),” Luscomb said. “We need to brainstorm how to fix some of these issues.” LJSA board member and parent John Kassar said he’s concerned for the safety of children around the Shores’ boat launch used by kayakers. “If we could get some of that money to come back from the city for regulation of surf camps and kayakers, we could get a [park] ranger, which would make the boat launch much easier to manage,” said board member Izzy Tihanyi, owner of Surf Diva boutique. Lynch said he woud lead a more complete discussion on the kayak RFP issue at the group’s March meeting. Lucas said the City Council is scheduled to discuss new proposed regulation changes for commercial food and other vehicles parked in residential neighborhoods on March 3.

the skin tone. A coloring process can be done to the natural hair 48 hours prior to application and extensions can be matched to that. How Do You Customize Extensions for a Client With Thinning Hair ? Use an extension with a smaller attachment bond and a single strand application process so the hair is not damaged and can hold the weight of the extension. This will give natural looking volume and length to thinning hair. How Do You Match Hair Extensions for Clients With Curly Hair? If a client with curly hair wants to wear their hair straight then nothing needs to be done to the extensions . If the hair is worn curly most of the time the extensions can be permed prior to attacment to the natural hair. Can hair extensions damage my hair? No, they will not. Actually, even very fine and damaged hair can become healthier if you’re wearing hair extensions because they will protect
your hair from things that could damage it like curling irons, blow dryers, styling heat and environmental damage. Because of the unique application bonding system, the extensions can be easily removed. This is different than many hair extension methods that bond too tightly to your hair. Those old methods can lead to hair. Judy is fully trained on how to educate her clients to professionally take care of their hair extensions at home. Judy will recommend hair care products, brushes, combs and appliances for use at home. Hairstyling is very similar to how you style your hair without extensions.

Wisteria Cottage renovation to bolster modernized look of La Jolla Historical Society The La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) will mark its 50th anniversary with completion of a yearlong, $1 million restoration of Wisteria Cottage that will be reopened during a weeklong celebration in May. Wisteria Cottage is the final jigsaw piece in redevelopment of the historical society’s campus at 780 Prospect St. Site improvements have included the conversion of a relocated historic home into LJHS’s offices, along with the conversion of a garage for historical archives. The restoration of Wisteria Cottage finishes the job, enhancing the last intact remnant of philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps’ South Moulton Villa estate on Prospect Street. “We will have a five-day series of opening events the first week of May starting with the donors of our capital campaign, inviting them in to help celebrate,” said LJHS executive director Heath Fox. He said the festivities will include a “weeklong series of open houses for the public.” With the reopening of the campus on May 4, the La Jolla Historical Society will celebrate its 50th anniversary, said Fox. “For the society, this pivotal moment marks the first time — after 50 years of collecting archival materials — that exhibitions can be prepared and presented inside professionally designed museum galleries,” he said. The cottage restoration started in summer 2013 and is expected to “cost about $1 million,” Fox said. Fox noted the anniversary also marks the end of years of a nomadic existence for the historical society, and the beginning of “a permanent home for its education programs, public outreach, historic research and archives.” Fox said cottage renovations have preserved the integrity of the structure while updating it at the same time. “The first floor is all exhibition
By DAVE SCHWAB space, 1,450 square feet,” Fox said. “We have now brought that space up to museum standards. It will allow us to present highquality exhibitions with precious materials and works of art.” The renovated facility will have new state-of-the-art humidity control and fire-safety systems,” Fox said. Wisteria Cottage is the enduring repository of La Jolla history. Landmark status was assigned to it in 1982 for its design and century-long association with the Scripps family. From the 1940s to the early 1960s, the cottage served as The Balmer School, later renamed La Jolla Country Day School. The cottage was then primarily John Coles Book Store from the mid1960s until 2005. Through the visionary stewardship of the Scripps/Revelle family, the 1904 Craftsman-style cottage, garage and the intact landscape were deeded to the La Jolla Historical Society in 2008. The approach to the Wisteria restoration, led by architect Ione R. Stiegler of La Jolla-based IS Architecture and general contractor Hill Construction Company of San Diego, was to restore the cottage’s exterior to the period of around 1910, when Virginia Scripps owned it and Irving Gill remodeled it. The plan was then to convert the interior exclusively for exhibition gallery space. “The outside has been historically preserved and the inside has been adaptively reused,” said Fox. “It’s going to be a wonderful building and in a lot of ways is going to be a national model for preservation of a historic community building.” The cottage’s exterior renovation follows the best practices of historic preservation, as set forth by the standards of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. The interior of the cottage follows best practices as set forth by the standards of the American Alliance of Museums (formally the American Association of Museums).
MAKING HISTORY Wisteria Cottage is being prepared for a weeklong reopening in May to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the La Jolla Historical Society. The historical society has been in the midst of a $1 million, yearlong renovation to enhance the presentation of archival materials in professionally designed museum galleries. DAVE SCHWAB
Wisteria Cottage, the oldest structure in what is today called the Scripps Cultural District, was once owned by Virginia Scripps and was remodeled in 1907-09 by Gill, a master architect. The conference room in the adjacent Balmer Annex, built for the Balmer School in the late 1940s and restored to that period, will provide renovated facilities for meetings, workshops, educational programs and community activities. Improvements to the office and research center, a 1909 cottage relocated to the property in the 1980s, will provide a more conducive setting for members of the public to consult with the historical society’s archivist and historian regarding information needs and access to archival materials, said Fox. The inaugural exhibition in the early May opening of Wisteria Cottage will be “Climate Change: Mid-century Modern La Jolla,” curated by Dave Hampton. The exhibition and its accompanying catalog will explore the history of La Jolla in the 1950s and 1960s — decades of change when a small circle of postwar modernists emerged to spearhead new ideas in the arts, design and architecture.
GIVING IT HIS ALL A worker keeps the restoration effort moving at Wisteria Cottage, home of the La Jolla Historical Society. A reopening is slated for May 4. DAVE SCHWAB
The La Jolla Historical Society is dedicated to the discovery, collection and preservation of La Jolla’s heritage. Through exhibitions, programs, collections and advocacy, the historical society presents and promotes awareness of the community’s rich historical record. Founded in 1964, the LJHS operates from a campus consisting of Wisteria Cottage, the adjacent Balmer Annex used for educational programs and
community activities, a 1909 beach cottage which serves as office and public research center, and an archival storage building. The historical society’s historical collection consists of more than 20,000 photographs, local newspaper archives, architectural drawings and numerous personal and public records from all periods of La Jolla’s history.

Service to the elderly and children in need Established in Encinitas and Rancho Bernardo, Seacrest Village Retirement Communities is a not-for-profit senior housing and health-care organization serving the ever-growing San Diego community in the Jewish tradition since 1944, and currently working with over 400 clients daily. The Seacrest Foundation helps support Seacrest Village’s service to the elderly. Striving to ensure a warm and loving home for residents for generations to come, the organization has never turned away anyone in need of their care, regardless of religious affiliation or ability to pay. Its recent Women’s Auxiliary’s Sapphire Jubilee gala at La Jolla’s Hyatt Aventine celebrated 70 years of philanthropic support for seniors. Proceeds will assist residents whose financial resources have been exhausted. The black-tie “evening of glitter, glamour, and generosity” event attracted 350 guests, commencing with juggling “Flairaholiks” bartenders and tray-passed canapés.

When one thinks of Valentine’s Day, the next sequential thought is usually red roses, from or to that special someone. The Patio on Lamont Street, however, will be celebrating by incorporating the hibiscus flower into a special libation available from February 14-16. This “love potion” features hibiscus syrup-infused sparkling wine with an actual hibiscus flower at the bottom. Director of Operations, Lucas Reeve, is excited to be offering this unique item on the menu for lovebirds. “The flower opens on its own with the aid of the bubbles to create a cool effect. The flower itself is an interesting flavor and texture and the syrup adds both a scent and a touch of sweetness,” said Reeve. Not stopping there, Executive Chef John Medall decided to start using this versatile flower in the kitchen. He has already created an amouse-bouche where he opens the flower and pits it, stuffs it with a blend of whipped chèvre and mascarpone cheeses, and tops it off with a garnish of fresh chives. The flavors and presentation have guests raving! For more information or to make reservations at The Patio on Lamont Street, call 858-270-9900 or visit www.thepatiosd.com.

MUSTHEAR >> Anyone who is interested in jazz or classical music in particular should check out UCSD’s many music events. Ranging from free student concerts to reasonably priced shows for gospel choirs, the sheer breadth of music on offer is staggering and a boon for area music fans. One of the STEVE SCHICK clear highlights this month is a performance from Schick Machine, a.k.a. UCSD faculty member and percussionist Steve Schick on Feb. 27. A mix of storytelling and adventurous music, Schick takes the audience through a stage filled with wondrous new instruments created by composer Paul Dresher, including such intriguingly named items as “The Peacock” and the “Field of Flowers.” At times whimsical, but always inspired, music aficionados who like their music on the cutting edge will love every second of this show. • SCHICK MACHINE performs at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27 at the MANDEVILLE AUDITORIUM, 9500 Gilman Drive.

The dinner’s four courses, complemented by strolling violinists, were served with exceptional skill and attentiveness. A trumpet fanfare summoned the 500 guests to the Grand Ballroom. There, prime accommodations followed a unique “box seating” tradition. A “box” is simply an arrangement of two cocktail tables and eight chairs. Prestigious box reservations are typically passed down through a family’s generations. Non-boxholders enjoy the less-prestigious (but just as comfortable) “loge” tables just beyond the boxes. All tables get bottles of champagne and Pellegrino and an adjacent room offers sweet treats and coffee drinks. Entertainment included a beautifully performed aria by Megan Phillips.

formance at Boston University’s conservatory, Megan’s multiple heart surgeries at Rady’s began soon after birth. The ball’s traditional first dance, the “Blue Danube Waltz,” began with chair Clarice and husband Bill alone on the dance floor. They were soon joined by co-chair Phyllis with husband Dave; then by the entire ball committee. NRG’s play continued with much more contemporary music, keeping the floor filled with dancers. Unlike most fundraisers, there were no auctions, donation requests, or other funding pleas during the Charity Ball itself — it was all accomplished beforehand. Nonetheless, the event raised well over $250,000 for Rady’s CICU. • Residential Assisted Living Homes • Quality & Passionate 24/7 Care • Enriching Activities & Outings • Loving Care, Great Locations, Great Food • Memory/Dementia Care Offered • Hospice, Short term stays (respite) OK

Inside REAL ESTATE Charles Schevker & Natasha Alexander
For many people considering selling and/or buying a home, using a friend or family member who is a licensed realestate agent seems like the perfect situation. Perhaps it is the perceived trust and familiarity that tips the scales in favor of the friend or family member, or maybe not — maybe it is a sense of obligation. Before you hire a close friend or family member, carefully consider the possibility for dreadful consequences to occur. For the sake of brevity throughout this article we refer to f/f to mean a close friend or family member. A quick side note: whenever we take a new listing, we generally get it sold very fast. So … in the interim, until we get another new listing, we often hold open houses for other agent’s listings — a common practice. At least half of the visitors to the open house are quick to tell us that they have an f/f who is their agent. Visitors apparently know to share this secret, thinking that if you tell an agent at an open house that you have a f/f working for you, then the open-house agent will leave you alone. Out of curiosity, we usually say something like, “Well, if your f/f is working so hard for you then why are they not with you today?” The visitor’s response is similar to, “Well, we saw the open-house sign so we decided to pop in.” To which we respond by saying, “Gee, this house has been on the market for about 100 days. Shouldn’t your f/f have recommended this property to you earlier?” Back to the problem. Trying to write a safe answer or suggestion to hiring a f/f as your trusted agent is very tricky. While we do not want you to challenge those bonds,
Hiring a friend or family member as your real-estate agent we do want you to succeed at your goals without jeopardizing the relationship or losing opportunities. Before you hire that f/f, ask yourself this question: If this f/f was not your f/f, would you hire them? And … if your f/f does not perform to your expectations, could you or would you fire them? These are tough questions to answer, but better to consider them now. It is a two-way street of awkwardness. If you are the seller, you might expect the f/f to cut their commission, which likely will not make them happy. If the f/f does not work as hard as you expect, you will likely be unhappy. As a buyer, you might find yourself doing all the work — searching the Internet and driving endlessly to openhouse events and then enabling your f/f to get the commission. Before jumping to the decision, or being coerced by others to hire your f/f, consider whether they are qualified to get the job done for you. If necessary, interview them the same as you would any other agent. Convince yourself that your f/f has the knowledge, experience, drive, strategy and plans to sell your house and/or to help you purchase a next home. Then, consider whether they have the impartiality to represent you fairly and objectively, and how you will feel by revealing to them some of your sensitive and confidential information. Oooops — didn’t think of that, did you? Will they be able to safeguard your personal circumstances and information, or are they the type to leak it to other friends and family? By being your representative in a realestate transaction your f/f will likely have some access to information about your bank account balances and other assets, credit scores, debts and liabilities, liens and judgments, income, ages and anything else you can think of. If you have no problems to trust and rely upon your f/f and if everything goes
well, then you have made a good choice. However, the odds of that going without mishap are not a high probability. In fact, it is more likely that tension and ill feelings will emerge, if not to damage or dissolve the friendship or to create a long-lived family dispute. Without having an open and honest discussion, there may be as much apprehension on the part of your f/f. Perhaps they do not want to jeopardize your relationship, but are too concerned they might insult you by declining the opportunity. There is a sensible alternative for all parties, and one that could allow you to proceed expeditiously with your plans and yet avoid the potential of discord with your f/f. As long as all conditions are met, your licensed f/f can refer you to another realestate agent who can provide expert service to you and, in return, through a referral agreement, your f/f can receive a
referral fee. With so many licensed real-estate agents in California, there is an extraordinarily high probability that you know more than one who is also your f/f. We urge you to carefully consider some of the cautionary thoughts we have presented and to factor them into whether to hire your f/f. And in spite of the cautions, if you decide you want to hire your f/f, perhaps you should have an open discussion with them to clearly determine how they feel.

Merchants group gets creative with new revenue-generating strategic plan The new revenue-generating strategic plan of La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) offers some progressive ideas like selling La Jolla-opoly board spaces and hosting a golf tournament, as well as calling for the collection of outstanding business license fees. All businesses within LJVMA’s 30block area are assessed annual city fees of $45 to $350. Those fees go into a fund used by LJVMA to beautify, market and promote La Jolla’s business community. LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said there’s a great deal of money out there tied up in uncollected license fees that could be used instead to benefit merchants. “We have approximately 1,260 businesses in the BID [business improvement district], and we gues-
timate that approximately 500 of those businesses are not paying there business license fees,” Fortune said adding “that’s huge.” Fortune said the city of San Diego does not have a mechanism in place at present to monitor and collect delinquent license fees, so it’s therefore up to LJVMA to take the initiative to rectifying that. “We’re working with the city in trying to create better oversight and education,” Fortune said adding business owners will be engaged moving forward in doing public outreach. “We need to make sure people know that if they’re running a retail facility or if they’re an independent contractor renting space, like a hair salon, a nail technician or a realestate person, that they should have
a city of San Diego business tax certificate,” she said. Those business tax certificates can be applied for and obtained online, Fortune added. The 3-year-old LJVMA is at a crossroads as it strives to develop best practices for promoting businesses in its 30-block area which includes Prospect Street, Coast Boulevard, Herschel and Girard avenues, Pearl Street, Fay and Ivanhoe avenues, Wall Street, Bishops Lane, Cave and Silverado streets, Kline Avenue and Roslyn and Drury lanes, as well as portions of La Jolla Boulevard and Torrey Pines Road. Other ideas that have emerged from the group’s strategic deliberations the past couple months to raise revenues include: • hosting an LJVMA Golf Tourna-
ment May 16 at Torrey Pines Golf Course; • keeping Summer Haute La Jolla Music and Scavenger hunt fundraiser but changing it to quarterly rather than monthly status; • increasing viewers and clicks on LJVMA’s website at www.LaJollabytheSea.com; • designing, producing and selling the LJVMA’s own game version of Monopoly. • searching for “anchors” to bring the Village together in a more balanced shopping experience to tie in all corners of LJ BID; • educating Village real-estate owners and businesses that it is their responsibility to keep their sidewalks clean, maintained and safe for pedestrians, as well as provide contacts for sidewalk pressure washing

companies; • educating all business owners where the LJV Information Center is located and the opportunities there for advertising exposure; • assigning all LJVMA board directors a block in the LJBID to canvas; • researching and creating new ways to raise money for LJVMA through public-private partnerships; • requesting the city remove all old, poorly kept, empty and no longer in use newspaper and magazine boxes and validate with a sticker of inspection those boxes that are legal and have paid their permit fees; and • coordinating hanging of the “Seasons Greetings” sign at the bridge on Torrey Pines during the holidays and accept donations or sponsors for this expense.

onto the bluffs, discouraging marine mammal haul-outs, or whether it can be chocked up to seasonal factors like winter marine-mammal migration or natural tidal flushing. “We’ve heard from some of the Village merchants that allowing access to the bluffs has helped [with the smell],” said Jill Esterbrooks, a spokesperson for Lightner. “In addition, the high tides and rains [in January] also served as a natural flush of the area.” Esterbrooks said the city is “evaluating conditions daily and is ready to hire a contractor should there be a need for additional clean-up efforts at The Cove.” Lifeguard chief Rick Wurts agreed noxious odors from the Cove appear to have decreased.
“The sea lions were part of that, but there are also issues with the birds, as well,” Wurts said. “There are fewer birds and sea lions in that area right now.” Wurts believes the smell situation has improved for a variety of reasons. “It’s my understanding sea lions go out to the Channel Islands to spend the winter,” he said. “We’ve also had some pretty high surf for awhile, which has contributed to a flushing of that area. Those things have all probably contributed to making the smell less.” Though Cove smells may be in remission, “It’s not going to be handled and then be over. It’s definitely going to be an ongoing issue,” said La Jolla Village Merchants Association executive director Sheila Fortune. Fortune said she hasn’t heard any further complaints about smells from

restaurateur George Hauer or the La Valencia Hotel, two merchants who collaborated on the filing of a lawsuit against the city weeks ago alleging it was local government’s responsibility to abate Cove stench problems. “The city is monitoring [the smell], though they have no schedule of any other treatments at the moment,” Fortune said. “They are on call and ready to go if it’s necessary to do more treatments.” Meanwhile, the City Council will again soon be dealing with the vexing issue of whether to close La Jolla’s Children’s Pool between Dec. 15 and May 15 annually to protect harbor seals from human harassment during pupping season. In December 2014, the city Planning Commission balked at completely closing off Children’s Pool, voting 4-3 not to prohibit human habitation of the beach during harbor seal pupping season.

PUP PROTECTION The foul smell of harbor seal and bird droppings at the Cove appears to have eased for reasons that are unclear. But the City Council is again preparing to square off over the issue of human encroachment at the Cove during the five-month pupping season of the harbor seal. COURTESY PHOTO
forward,” Golba said. “There should be a way to expand upon the lifeguard proposal or some mechanism that could ideally be a key to cohabitation by both the seals and humans and has the ability to be seasonably regulated or adjusted to each parties’ demands and use. “Ideally, this solution would also push forward a solution to the lack of ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) access, as well,” he said. “Given that we can afford to spend $3.8 million on a lifeguard tower in La Jolla Shores, it would seem adequate funding could be sourced to develop a solution where both humans and seals win instead of lawyers in per-
petual lawsuits that never resolve the underlying shared-use issue.” The lifeguard proposal suggests “faux boulders,” or some other more natural-appearing landform other than the rope barrier traditionally used to separate humans from seals, could be devised and shifted seasonally to safeguard the animals and assure peaceful shared use at the pool. Attorney and animal-rights activist Bryan Pease, who has been battling in court for years to get greater protection for seals from humans and to get Children’s Pool closed off to human access during the marine mammals’ five-month pupping season, said the City Council’s Feb. 24 vote could be the last say on the matter. “The upcoming vote is the final vote the council needs to take on this issue,” Pease said. “The council voted 7-2 in 2010 to close the rookery for pupping season in conformity with other cities’ sound management practices along the coast. Only Lightner and Young voted against. This vote upcoming is just to approve the LCP amendment that was called for by that first vote. So it’s not moving in circles but actually moving forward exactly as planned, albeit at a slow pace.” The City Council meets at 2 p.m. on Feb. 24 in Council Chambers on the 12th Floor of the City Administration Building, 202 C St. in downtown San Diego.
