State plugs hole in funding for beach water monitoring BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON
The California Water Resources Control Board effectively restored a statewide beach water-monitoring program in November, giving county and state officials time to find money to keep the vital health program going. The governor slashed funding for the water-monitoring program in late September with a line-item veto. With county funds, environmental health officials were able to continue monitoring San Diego shores through October in anticipation of state funding, said San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox. Officials were able to share that data with local environmental groups work-
ing to keep local waterways clean. The state’s water resources board voted unanimously to pour more than $900,000 of unused bond money slated for Proposition 13-related water-quality projects to fund the monitoring program into next year. The vote also gives the board’s director the power to extend $1.9 million in funding for another year, if needed, Cox said. Cox said the funding is a stopgap measure and that state and local governments will still have to find ways to fund the program into the future. Cox attended the Nov. 4 meeting where he said several people spoke on behalf of San Diego County. SEE FUNDING, Page 5

Peters reflects on tenure as council president BY ALYSSA RAMOS | THE BEACON
San Diego City Council President Scott Peters recently sat down with the Peninsula Beacon to reflect on his past eight years in City Council before leaving his termed-out seat to newly elected Sherri Lightner. Peters plans to move to the San Diego Port Commission — a
seat he was elected to over Point Loma resident Robert McNeely. McNeely instead will continue to serve in his recently appointed role as a member of the Centre City Development Corporation. As council president, Peters was a central figure, voting on major issues in La Jolla and University City (UC), from the Regents Road Bridge controver-

New suit filed in federal court to save the seals BY ALYSSA RAMOS | THE BEACON
La Jolla’s seals continue to whirl around the Children’s Pool drain as attorneys dragged feds into the controversy, fighting over whether to frighten away the marine mammals before moving forward with the city’s dredging process. “[Attorney Brian] Pease filed another lawsuit in federal court,” said Paul Kennerson, attorney for Valerie O’Sullivan, who first sued the city for allowing La Jolla’s harbor seals to interfere with citizens swimming and diving. “He sued the government to require them to get a permit to get rid of the seals. The city said they agreed with Pease but the government made a motion to dismiss the case,” he said. Pease, attorney for the Animal Protection and Rescue League (APRL) SealWatch, sued the federal government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for failing to enforce the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The federal MMPA preempts enforcement of state law, Pease said. La Jolla’s harbor seal colony is protected under the federal MMPA. A previous ruling said the city of San Diego must dredge the sand at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool beach — a natural harbor seal rookery — until the area is restored to its 1941 condition. But Kennerson said the city couldn’t dredge until the harbor seal colony is removed. “We said they need a permit to do that,” Pease said. “The city has a $43 million budget shortfall now and they would have to hire a fulltime staff person to disperse the seals.” San Diego Superior Court Judge Yuri Hofmann had previously ruled on submission that he would order the city to remove the seal colony. Pease said he went to federal court, where Judge William Q.
Hayes signed a temporary restraining order Oct. 22, protecting the seals until Nov. 25. Hayes then opted to extend the temporary restraining order until Feb. 13 — the new court date for Pease and NOAA and the city, Pease said. “Ideally, we would agree that the city would apply for a permit and no seals would be dispersed until the city gets that permit,” Pease said. But the harbor seals’ pupping season lasts through May 30, according to Pease. “I think even NOAA would have a serious problem with [removing seals during pupping season],” Pease said. Kennerson said he plans to file a new suit in federal court. “The federal government wants this dismissed and so do I,” he said. The next state hearing is scheduled for Dec. 8. A settlement conference is scheduled for Jan. 5, and the next federal hearing is scheduled for Feb. 13.

House vs. School…What Should I Do? Dear Friend, Just a quick note to let you know how I can help you or anyone you might refer to me. Julie was a past client and Sandy can still remember her excitement when she purchased her first home. Her boys loved playing in the canyon and bringing their friends home to play. Her home was the “hang out” for all teenage boys. Now one son is off and the other is about to graduate from high school next year. Julie has owned her own preschool for eleven years and this year the building she had been renting became available to purchase. Now the dilemma…do I own a house or invest in my future and purchase the school building? Julie decided the opportunity was too good to pass up and needed to sell quickly. She called Sandy Collins & Associates and said “HELP!” Sandy found the perfect buyer and now Julie owns her school and couldn’t be happier.

Sex assault puts community on edge NewsBriefs BY ALYSSA RAMOS | THE BEACON
A La Jolla woman was sexually assaulted and then punched in the face Tuesday, Nov. 18 while walking on a popular bike path near Gravilla and Draper streets. Community leaders issued warnings to residents who use the stretch of remote dirt pathway, recalling similar incidents occurring over the past year. At about 6:40 a.m. Tuesday, a neighbor alerted San Diego firefighters at Station 13 that a woman was lying on the bike path injured, said San Diego Police Department Detective Gary Hassen. Rescuers found the woman, who said she had been beaten and sexually assaulted while walking on the path, he said. Although police found a man nearby who fit the woman’s description of her attacker and took him into custody, he was later relased, Hassen said. Firefighters took the La Jolla woman to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for injuries to her face. “Regrettably, an incident Tuesday morning reminds us to be careful in using the path,” Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) members said in an e-mail. “The

However, we need to be cognizant of the remoteness of the trail and what that entails.” Meanwhile, BRCC members issued an e-mail warning residents of the attack and reminding locals that similar incidents have occurred along that same stretch. “It’s a good reminder to be aware and to be cautious,” BRCC member Michelle Fulks said. “The e-mail was to make people aware and to remind people.” A handful of incidents occurred over the past year, Fulks and other BRCC members said, asking the community to remain on guard while using the path. “There was a guy walking a dog off his leash that attacked a boy and his mother,” Fulks said of a previous attack. “Then a sixthgrade boy was riding his bike from Muirlands when a guy jumped out of the bushes. The mom was 30 feet behind, so that was good.

Group members offered citizens tips to stay safer while using the trail. “Until the community and the police determine a larger strategy, we must be careful on how we use it. In twilight hours, don’t use it alone,” BRCC said. “Encourage school-age kids to travel with a buddy during all times of the day. Be aware of your surroundings.” Community leaders said path users should be vigilant while entering and exiting the path. “If you see suspicious behavior, report it to the police or the fire station where the bike path ends at Nautilus,” council members said. Without it, coastal communities could have missed warning signs about potentially unhealthy beach water, said Bruce Reznik, executive director of San Diego Coastkeeper.

‘Shop with a Cop’ to bring Victim of apparent fall joy to children was Ocean Beach woman holiday SeaWorld, Target and local law The death of a woman whose body was found at the base of the cliffs near Carmelo Street and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard on Sunday has been ruled an accident, according to a statement from the county Medical Examiner’s Office. The woman was identified as 41-year-old Kristan Stephanie Wagner of Ocean Beach. The body was discovered around 1:40 p.m. Nov. 30 by a passerby, according to officials with Lifeguard Services. Paramedics declared Wagner was dead at the scene. Wagner was wearing denim pants, a short-sleeve shirt, a hooded Roxy-brand sweatshirt and athletic shoes, according to a medical examiner’s statement. A person walking along the 800 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard called 9-1-1 when she spotted the Wagner’s body, according to the examiner’s statement. “Her state of body indicated that (the victim) had been there for a while,” said Lifeguard Services Lt.

After enjoying breakfast and the “Dolphin Discovery” show, the children will ride with designated officers in police cars with sirens blasting and lights flashing from SeaWorld to Target for the shopping spree. Children shop not only for themselves but for family members as well, said event organizers. The event provides holiday gifts for less fortunate families and provides the children with a positive interaction with local law enforcement officers.

Everyone knew we had water problems but we didn’t have the data to back it up or to raise public awareness,” Reznik said.
The water-monitoring program started about a decade ago as a result of Assembly Bill 411, which was inspired by a wave of concern about public health and the beaches and waterways. The program was the result of grassroots efforts began in San Diego, according to county health officials.

GUEST COMMENTARY
At Christmas, green is the new white By CKR COMMUNICATIONS When finalizing your holiday gift list, don't forget to add Mother Nature. By making some easy adjustments to your normal holiday routine and searching for energy-efficient gifts, you can do your part to help conserve precious natural resources year-round and put a little "green" back in your pocket. "If you're one of the many consumers taking advantage of the deep discounts available on many electronics and appliances this holiday season, keep in mind the long-term costs of powering your purchases," said Hal Snyder, vice president of customer programs for San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). “Take televisions, for example. The annual energy costs for a 53- to 62-inch rear-projection TV are approximately $65, while the equivalent plasma television will cost about $143." It's no surprise that the larger the set, the more energy it uses. No matter what kind of TV or appliance you buy this holiday, a good rule of thumb is to make sure it has an energy-star logo. Products that have earned the energy-star designation help prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energyefficiency specifications set by the government and help save you money each month. Everyone can go green: • Buy LED holiday lights, which can save 90 percent or more in lighting costs when compared with traditional
incandescent holiday lights. They pay for themselves almost immediately. Another bonus: decreased potential fire hazard. • Buy a solar charger for your cell phone, iPod and other gadgets. • Light up someone's holiday by giving a compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulb -- they cost onefourth as much to operate and last up to 10 times longer. Look for CFLs with the SDG&E "Promotional Price" sticker at your favorite retailer. • If you receive a new cell phone, be sure to recycle your old one. Each year, 130 million cell phones are thrown out, weighing approximately 65,000 tons. Also, make sure to take computers, TV sets and other electronics to authorized ecycling locations. • Buy wrapping paper and holiday cards made from recycled paper, or, even better, get creative and make your own; old maps, the comics section of a newspaper or children's artwork are festive and meaningful. If every family wrapped just three gifts this way, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. • Make it a holiday tradition to plant a tree each year to offset your paper consumption. For more energy-saving tips to use throughout the year, please visit www.sdge.com/residential or call (800) 411-7343. — CKR Communications is a Chula Vista public relations firm.

State updates eco-friendly gift guide The California Department of Conservation has launched an updated version of its online guide to help consumers find eco-friendly gifts and decorating tips. The department created the Green Gift Guide (available exclusively at greengiftguide.com) to promote one of the simplest ways to incorporate sustainability into consumer lifestyles — bottle and can recycling — and also to provide information and ideas on environmentally preferable products for the home, office, children, pets and the outdoors. Many of the products are made from recycled bottles, cans and other materials; they otherwise incor-
porate sustainable practices into manufacturing, thereby saving energy and natural resources. Californians recycled 7.6 billion beverage containers during the first six months of 2008, 76 percent of the 10 billion sold in the state. That’s a 5 percent increase over the figure of 2007. By recycling billions of aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles during that time, Californians decreased greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to eliminating the energy consumption of 11,000 households for one year. — Provided as a public service by the California Department of Conservation.

Luck, timing rescue lost wedding ring from dump BY LARRY HARMON | THE BEACON
Talk about finding a needle in a haystack. Mission Beach’s Debbie Roth was fixing dinner Sept. 29 when she took her wedding ring off to prepare some potatoes. When finished, she washed up, dried her hands with a paper towel and tossed it in the trash before returning to dinner. She doesn’t know how, but somehow her ring wound up in the paper towel and was put outside her Ocean Front house near Zanzibar Court in a garbage bag later that evening for the morning trash pickup. By the time Roth realized she had accidentally thrown out her wedding ring, the city trash truck has already made its regular 7 a.m. Tuesday pickup. “My husband kept saying, ‘We’ll find it, honey. It’s around here somewhere,’” she said. It isn’t hard to imagine the sinking feeling after realizing something with such sentimental value is probably gone forever, but Roth wasn’t about to give up. With the clock ticking, she knew her chances were slim of keeping her ring from being bulldozed into the Miramar Landfill. “When you don’t have your ring on, you almost feel naked. A part of me was missing and I was determined to get it back,” she said. While Roth called the city hoping there was a chance of recovering her garbage bags, Hortensia Galvez, an automation driver with
the Environmental Services Department, was continuing on her Mission Beach route. Starting at Hooters and working her way south, Roth’s house is one of her first resident stops. Normally Galvez’s truck hits capacity before she crosses Mission Boulevard for her eastside pickups, requiring her to empty her truck at the landfill before resuming with her northbound collections. “The trash was running light that day, so I thought I would continue on,” Galvez said. “I was working back towards San Jose Court, and before I reached the Catamaran, I got a call from a supervisor asking if I’ve been to the landfill. When I told him no, he said, ‘Good. Someone has lost their ring.’” Galvez said if it had been summertime, when Mission Beach crowds create more waste, Roth wouldn’t have had a chance. Her wedding band would have been buried with the other 1.4 million tons of garbage dumped at the landfill every year. “I knew it was in the truck,” she said. Roth and her husband met Galvez at the landfill prepared to dig through a week’s worth of Mission Beach’s garbage if they had to, but her luck continued. “As soon as she told me where she lived, I could tell her where her trash is going to be,” Galvez said. “I knew it would be within a couple of feet from the back.” Galvez emptied about half of her truck, and after about 10 to 15

minutes of searching, they found the distinctive white trash compactor bags with the ring. “We found out later that our neighbor put out some very large boxes — they were shower door boxes — that Hortensia picked up three doors down from us. So she said, ‘I know exactly where your trash is. It’s in the back of the truck near these boxes.’ So when Hortensia dumped the truck, she dumped a little at a time until we got to those boxes. It still was a lot to go through, but it was minimal compared to what it could have been,” Roth said. Afraid they would lose the ring again by tearing open the bags at
the landfill, Roth and her husband took the sealed trash bags back to Mission Beach to retrieve the ring. “The city employees just jumped through hoops and it was neat to know that there are people out there that care and are compassionate about my mistake,” she said. “I don’t know if the city had any obligation to help me, but they did.” Considering the odds of ever seeing her ring again, Roth said she never gave up. “Even if I didn’t find it, I had to try. I couldn’t give up,” Roth said. “I reacted as soon I realized it was gone, and because there was less
trash than normal, we found it. It was meant to be.” Galvez said this is the first time in her 27 years working for Environmental Services she’s helped recover valuables accidentally tossed out with the trash, but it’s not uncommon. Galvez said a driver helped another Mission Beach resident recover a sizable amount of cash that ended up in the trash. “A neighbor a couple of houses down from Debbie owned a restaurant and he put his money on top of his trash and was thrown out, and we were able to find it,” she said. “If you can catch us, you can get your items back.”

PETERS CONTINUED FROM Page 1
a lot of good things. We’ve reconfigured the Throat, which was transformative for people getting in and out of La Jolla, whether you work there or live there,” Peters said, referencing one of San Diego’s busiest intersections. Peters said he improved La Jolla’s busy Throat intersection by reconstructing green-light time in 2003, though traffic and parking will continue to be issues in La Jolla and UC, he added. Peters achieved two major goals, he said: burying utility lines and completing Bird Rock’s improvements along La Jolla Boulevard. When Peters began his council tenure, he asked La Jolla residents and neighbors their thoughts on local problems, seeking to assess the area’s needs for improvement, Peters said. “When I walked the neighborhoods, anyone who talked about issues in La Jolla wanted to talk about one of two things — one was seals and two was the power lines,” Peters said. He asked Bird Rock residents’ opinions by walking door-to-door in an attempt to gain understanding of their needs, he said. “In Bird Rock in 2001 I walked the neighborhoods, if they wanted to talk to me … in Bird Rock it was always about La Jolla Boulevard, ‘It’s ugly, the businesses always fail, traffic is fast, I don’t feel safe walking across the street, I can’t get my stroller across the street, I can’t get my walker across the street,’” Peters said. “So I said, ‘Great, I’ll fix it.’” Armed with a cause from the Bird Rock constituents, Peters said he met with the Bird Rock Community Council three times, in an
effort to fix La Jolla Boulevard. “We came up with a plan and I announced the plan and they went crazy,” he said. “People all over the neighborhood were just so irate, so I said, ‘We’ll have another meeting at Bird Rock Elementary.’” Peters said he took his plan to improve La Jolla Boulevard — which included focusing on traffic flow, sewer upgrades and parking — to Bird Rock Elementary School Aug. 1 and met a crowd of 350 people. “…It was like the torches and the battering rams as they came up one by one to speak about how awful I was. I thought, ‘Well, these were the same people who I went to in the community, and they wanted me to fix La Jolla Boulevard,’” Peters said. “So I said, ‘Well, we’re not going to do nothing. We’re going to fix it.” Although many residents gathered to reject Peters’ plan, he said he knew locals wanted to upgrade the main thoroughfare and believed the project would help the community and improve businesses. So, he grouped people from each block, hired a consultant and formed a committee, asking them to create their own project. Peters said the residents’ plan worked. Bird Rock’s businesses are improving along La Jolla Boulevard. The project included roundabouts to keep traffic flowing and new diagonal parking, while the city fixed sewage lines. “That was largely because the people in the neighborhoods stepped up and said, ‘We complained about this, now let’s make this better,’” Peters said. Although Peters’ La Jolla Boulevard strategy worked — calling on Bird Rock residents to create a committee to fix their problems — results differed when Peters tried the same tactic in La Jolla Village,

asking locals to pull together regarding their parking problems, he said. “The thing about the Village is that even though they have competition from Orange County, I think there’s going to have to be more of a crisis or the players are going to have to change,” Peters said. “They’ve been talking about parking since 1979. You have to have more community consensus than we have now. It’s unfortunate.” As successful as Bird Rock’s committee may have been, the La Jolla Community Parking District Advisory Board (LJCPDAB) — one of nine parking boards formed by the City Council to advise on issues such as paid parking — may have been the antithesis. La Jolla began implementing the parking process in 2005, when Peters created LJCPDAB to find solutions for parking problems, including paid parking. But many La Jollans rebelled, claiming metered parking would disrupt their businesses. Meetings grew in size and battles erupted, with locals claiming parking board members were corrupt. San Diego City Attor-
ney Michael Aguirre stepped in last December, asking board members to disclose financial interests. Peters and council members voted against forcing parking boards to disclose financial interests at the Feb. 2008 city council meeting. In April 2008, Peters told the Village News he decided to pull the parking plug, ending the LJCPDAB. But although he called for an end to parking committees, he said he doesn’t think paid parking problems are going anywhere. “Those issues are going to recur and we can have a better conversation about that,” Peters said. Peters said his other big accomplishment was helping residents who said they wanted to bury utility lines, resulting in the underground power line program. Peters said he renegotiated the SDG&E franchise agreement with utility companies such as SDG&E, the phone company (now AT&T), Time Warner Cable and Cox Cable, calling on them to install power lines underground. “In La Jolla that was the big thing, bigger than parking. It takes a long time to do,” Peters said.
After years of planning, trenches were dug and crews finished installing underground utility lines inside one La Jolla tract, according to Peters. “All the trenching is done and now they’re connecting. Over time, power lines in La Jolla will be put underground, and we are also starting the first block in UC, so that’s been a good thing,” he said. “The next council’s going to advance the timing of it.” Regarding UC, Peters said he was pleased with Westfield’s plans for the UTC expansion, which was planned years ago. Peters said he wants to preserve South UC’s single-family residential structure while continuing to implement more commercial and infrastructure projects in North UC. “The big issue starting out was the [Regents Road] bridge and the big issue today is the bridge,” Peters said. “I think we came to a compromise that would make the canyon a better resource but still provide the best traffic solution and provide fire safety.” The Regents Road Bridge Project, currently in litigation, would connect South UC to North UC, but the project’s opponents said the bridge would infringe on Rose Canyon’s habitat — a natural preserve. Peters then discussed “remaining issues in La Jolla” such as the lifeguard towers and the harbor seal colony at the Children’s Pool. According to Peters, the city council issued a bond for two of La Jolla’s lifeguard towers in March 2008, after the city condemned the Children’s Pool station. “We had a bond issuance of $6 million for two of the three towers,” he said. But Aguirre pulled rank, Peters said, telling the council the bonds couldn’t pass. “It’s possible that it could be revived, but economic conditions are tougher now. I hope the next council and city attorney can do it,” Peters said. “Mike and I had our differences … I never questioned his motives, but I just thought he took a position that was a policy position instead of a legal position.” An environmental attorney, Peters also voiced his opinion regarding the harbor seal colony at the Children’s Pool. “I hoped to come up with a compromise that worked for everybody,” Peters said. “Clearly that issue’s been in litigation for three years or so.” Dredging sand is the best way to comply with the court order to restore clean sand and water, Peters said. He thinks there is no way the city can get around the judge’s order, he said. “I think we should clean up the water — comply with the court order that would reconfigure the contours of the pool to the 1940s, which would provide for people who grew up there,” Peters said. “There were some seals out there but there weren’t 200.” Regarding the man-made wall that creates the Children’s Pool, Peters said it contributes to contamination. “As an environmental lawyer, I think that having that artificial sewer there is just sort of an artificial cesspool,” he said. “People say it’s a natural habitat but … it doesn’t allow for natural tidal flushing.” On Dec. 8, Peters leaves the city council, heading for the San Diego Port Commission, he said. As a La Jolla resident, Peters said local issues take on new meaning. “Going forward, the challenge for the whole region is the economy,” Peters said. “We believe San Diego is well-positioned in the long run to pull out of that. It’s pretty clear that we’re going to pull out of that.”

The Point Loma-based Albion soccer club clinched its first-ever berth in the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) Far West Regional Championship (FWRL) when the BU14 Premier Team defeated Arsenal 2-0 in Lancaster on Nov. 23 to win the Far West Regional League Championship. The victory wrapped up a weekend sweep of three straight wins over Arsenal, Real So Cal and the Colorado Rush. The USYSA Far West Regional Championship will be held next
June and will bring out the champions from 14 Western states, including clubs from Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The BU14 club began FWRL competition in August with victories over the New Mexico Strikers and the Colorado Rush. The team went on to win three more games the weekend of Nov. 15-16 when it defeated Surf, Del Sol and Sereno in Arizona. “We (Albion) have 29 teams and roughly over 400 kids are involved with our club from all over San
Diego,” said BU14 manager John Shackleford. “We even have a couple of kids who come down from Los Angeles because of our technical director and director of coaching, Noah Gins,” he said. The BU14 is a team of kids 14 years of age and has 17 players. The Albion club has boys’ and girls’ teams from ages 8 to 17. “Gins have been with us for about eight years and his other responsibilities include hiring coaches and developing our style of play,” Shackleford said. The Albion club practices Mondays through Fridays at Robb Field.

Danyavaad set to shake up Portugalia with belly dance BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON
Belly dancing, one of the oldest art forms still in existence today, also remains one of the most exotic. Despite an almost overfamiliarity with the dance through countless appearances in film and television, there is still a mystique about Middle Eastern music and dancers. Though belly dancing is immensely popular, it’s a testament to the skill needed to perform the songs and the moves that, until the recent appearance of Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters, no other local groups have ever tried to make an impact with this music. On Friday, Dec. 5 Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters will perform a CD-release show at Portugalia to promote their debut album/DVD “March of the Gypsies.” Featuring dancers Leilainia Penix and Adelaide Marcus with sitarist Greg Vaughn, percussionist Gabriel Penix and bassist DJ Sandbag, the album includes 10 music tracks along with music videos and instructional segments on belly dance, sitar and bass. Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters played their first full show in October 2006. However, their roots go back another 16 months. They initially met through local singersongwriter Marie Haddad. “Marie told me if I played a show with her downtown, she would take me to a belly dancer party afterwards,” Vaughn said. Meeting the Penix’s for the first time, they bonded over musical ideas and quickly made the decision to form a group. Wanting to promote a positive message, they chose the Hindi word for “thank you” — Danyavaad — as their name.
Although Vaughn is also a virtuoso guitarist and teacher and musically skilled in numerous genres, he considers Middle Eastern music to be a natural progression from his early love of classic rock. “I was into The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and the soundtrack to Lawrence of Arabia,” he said. “That led me to Ravi Shankar and Middle Eastern music.” While the origins of the group can be traced back three years, Vaughn has been inspired by belly dancing music for decades. “My spirit muse has always been a gypsy,” Vaughn said. “I had a belly dancer logo on the cover of my 2001 pop album ‘Gypsy Girl.’” Indeed, some Danyavaad songs such as “My Serpent Kiss” were written years ago with belly dancing in mind. Vaughn’s inspiration for a show combining dance and music came when he saw the first Belly Dance Superstars tour in 2003. While he enjoyed the performance, he was disappointed with the program’s use of pre-recorded music and instantly knew this was a void he could fill. Having seen the audience’s response to that show, he was certain there would be a ready-made audience for a group that combined dancing with live music. “The market is big,” he said. “Being unique has been great. Sometimes people are skeptical because they have never seen anything like us, but once they see the show and how high-energy it is, venues and promoters are eager to have us back.” In addition to local club dates, the group has also become a favorite at corporate events. Though Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters focuses almost exclusively on original music, they

have been known to throw in the occasional reworked cover tune. “We have done some Beatles and Radiohead,” he said. “We have a huge list of famous songs we intend to learn, but whenever we get together to rehearse we usually end up writing something new.” He notes the free-form nature of their performances. “Some songs just evolve on stage,” Vaughn said. “The girls like to dance while we improvise and that impacts where the music goes as well since we are feeding off their energy.” Vaughn is particularly proud of “March of the Gypsies” educational aspects. He noted that all the band’s members are also music or dance instructors. “When we tour we want to do dance and music seminars in each
city where we perform.” Vaughn said. “We all enjoy teaching and mixing education with performance gets the public more involved and passionate. It deepens the experience.” Having been a working performer much of his life, Vaughn considers the exchange of energy between the group and crowd to be most important thing at a show. “I love it when people get up to dance and play drums with us at the end and participate,” Vaughn said. “It really means a lot when people say they feel like they have been a part of something very special. We want to take that vibe and experience to the world.” Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters perform at Portugalia, 4839 Newport Ave., on Friday, Dec. 5. For more information, visit www.sdportugalia.com.

Small Ways To Make a Significant Impact on Our Planet
O
ver the last two decades, much has changed with respect to how we live. Whereas cell phones and the Internet were merely a novelty in the mid-1990s, nowadays you'd be hard pressed to find someone, even a child, who doesn't have their own cell phone and isn't going online at least once per day. Another significant change over that time period has been an attitudinal shift toward a more environmentally conscious society. Nearly every community across the country now has some type of recycling program, and the "Go Green" mentality, in
particular, has really taken off just in the last calendar year alone. Despite such newfound environmental responsibility, many people are still uncertain as to what they can do and if anything they do actually has a significant impact. Fortunately, there are many things concerned citizens can do that are both easy and influential, particularly if practiced on a larger scale by concerned citizens across the country. • Car pool to work Car pooling has long been suggested and even encouraged by
Specializing in the design and maintenance of edible landscaping for an urban environment

local governments as a way of reducing pollution. Many cities even provide rush hour car pooling lanes for vehicles with more than one person in them. Car pooling can help save gas, time and is especially helpful for the environment, as auto emissions contribute greatly to the nation's air pollution problem.
more trees around your property is the landscaping angle. Gasoline-powered lawn mowers and other such lawn and garden equipment are far less fuel efficient than automobiles. Such tools have high rates of air pollution and, if your yard is of considerable size, that can add up to a significantly negative impact over time.
If you can't find someone to car pool with, consider public transportation. Many cities have worked hard to upgrade their public transportation as a means to relieve traffic congestion and encourage their citizens to use mass transit. As a result, public transportation has improved considerably over the years and, of course, it's often far less expensive than driving yourself to work each day.
• Reduce waste Reducing waste can have a positive impact on the environment, particulary if this reduction is emphasized across the country. For example, disposable items such as bottled water are wasteful and very harmful to the environment. Even if they're recycled, these items are not as environmentally friendly as a water filter, which can simply be attached to your kitchen faucet and provide the same clean water you'd get from bottled water, at a fraction of the cost.
• Change your property's landscape. Deciduous trees and shrubs, which are those that shed their leaves each fall, are excellent for the environment. That's because they act as air filters, reducing smog while simultaneously cooling the air on hot days. Another less obvious benefit of planting
best, think of all the plastic grocery bags and styrofoam cups you use in a given month, and you'll gain a greater understanding as to how wasteful these disposable products truly are. • Support environmentally friendly legislation. Arguably the biggest way to make an impact is to promote and vote for environmentally friendly legislation. While more and more people are becoming environmentally conscious, legislation is the only way to guarantee that people and businesses behave in a responsible way. Support local legislation that promotes recycling programs and waste reduction. This will make it law for people to be environmentally responsible and it will facilitate more widespread change.
Other effective ways to reduce waste include using reusable cloth grocery bags and brewing your own coffee each morning to reduce your usage of styrofoam or plastic cups from the local coffee shop. While these seem like minimal changes at
