Lucky La Jollans head for historical event Residents win ‘lottery tickets’ to Obama inaugural BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inauguration Ceremonies in Washington, D.C., expects more than 250,000 people to line the Capitol next Tuesday, Jan. 20, to watch Barack Obama sworn in as the 44th president, according to Congresswoman Susan Davis’ office. And for the first time in recent history, ordinary people will have access to witness
the event as authorities open the National Mall. “Susan felt it was important that everyday people who helped elect Barack Obama have a chance to join in the celebration,” said Aaron Hunter, Davis’ press secretary. “Susan wanted to give everyday people a chance to witness history.” Although more than 1,000 constituents requested tickets, Davis randomly selected about 100 peo-
ple to whom she gave away her allotted 198 tickets, including three area residents from La Jolla, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach. “I wish I could have given tickets to everyone. But we only had a limited number,” Davis said. “Many people who did not win official tickets are coming anyway, which is amazing.” Davis and other members of the House received 198 tickets, while senators received 393 tickets, SEE INAUGURAL, Page 3

Piano is key to Athenaeum’s winter jazz ’09 BY BETH WOOD | VILLAGE NEWS
If Jazz at the Athenaeum has a familiar sound to it, it’s because it’s been around since the summer of 1989 and is the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library’s flagship program. “This winter series is a milestone in the Athenaeum jazz history since it marks the 20th anniversary. We hope to be able to continue with the same enthusiasm and support for another 20 years and beyond,” said Erika Torri, the library’s executive director. “As the jazz program coordinator, Dan Atkinson has done a fabulous job selecting the performers and we
are most grateful to our Athenaeum members and generous donors for their continued support.“ But the familiar sound is in title only, because the jazz program highlights the music’s remarkably wide spectrum. The winter 2009 series asks this question: How many ways can you play a piano? Or, more to the point, how many ways can you hear a piano? The winter series highlights the diverse range of this versatile instrument. “I used to try to organize each Jazz at the Athenaeum series around a particular instrument or
theme, but I found that this was too limiting,” Atkinson said. “I will have to admit, though, that when I saw the potential of the piano theme emerging for this series, I was swayed a bit in that direction. “Another longstanding criterion for the choice of the artists in an Athenaeum series has been a spectrum of different styles of jazz, which is also true in the case of these four pianists. And of course, they are all great musicians!” The series launches Saturday with a solo concert by pianist Marilyn Crispell. A graduate of the New Pianist Marilyn Crispell will kick off the Athenaeum’s winter jazz series with a SEE JAZZ, Page 5 solo show Saturday, Jan. 17, at 1008 Wall St. PHOTO BY CLAIR STEFANI

NEWS New laws on the books regulate recycling, texting BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
Unless you’ve been driving on the freeway with your head down, thumbing through your cell phone, then you should have seen the electronic freeway signs telling drivers that using your cell phone to send text messages is a no-no as of Thursday, Jan. 1, 2009. That’s just one of several new laws that came into effect with the new year. If you’re caught text messaging while driving, it carries a minimum fine of $20 to $50, apart from local court costs and other fees, according to a statement on the California Department of Motor Vehicles Web site. The law is an extension to the “hands free” law that started July 1, 2008. The law mandates motorists to use a hands-free device to talk and drive, said California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Eric Newbury. With the new rules in place, police are looking for people fiddling repeatedly with their phone while on the on the road. GPS mapping systems with big screens obstructing a driver’s view are also prohibited, he said. “Slowly but surely, [legislators] are realizing that anything that takes your attention off the road is potentially dangerous,” Newbury said. He said it opens “Pandora’s box” for possible legislation addressing eating and putting on make-up while behind the wheel. Also, tougher punishments for
repeat drunk drivers aim to make life miserable for those caught driving under the influence, he said. Police can write a citation or impound a vehicle if they catch somebody on probation for a previous drunk-driving charge with any amount of alcohol in their system, he said. It can result in an automatically suspended driver’s license. Other laws that took effect this year include tougher regulations for those trying to sell recyclable materials. Sellers have to show identification, give a thumbprint and receive payment by check after three days, according to Robin Faulkner, owner of Pacific Beach Recycling. The new rule applies to those selling material such as copper, according to the text of the bill. Although certified by the State of California, Faulkner said she doesn’t deal in scrap metal and so doesn’t have a license filed with the city to sell scrap. The new regulation is intended to prevent copper and scrap metal thieves from selling stolen recyclables, she said. Last year, the city saw a rash of copper and scrap metal thefts hit schools and construction sites around the city. “Back when copper was over $3 a pound … people were stealing everything. A lot of people lost their [business] licenses,” she said. Every year California legislators pass hundreds of laws. A full list of all the bills signed or vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger can be found at www.gov.ca/issue. ■

Hunter said. Davis decided to hold a lottery for her constituents, he said. La Jolla resident Wendy Shigenaga received two tickets from Davis’ office and said she plans to take her boyfriend, Thomas Baker. “We found out [we won] through e-mail. Before the election, Thomas and I decided that no matter who won, we still wanted to be there,” Shigenaga said. “We also made our plane reservation at that time, too.” Shigenaga said she heard from Davis’ office Dec. 2. “Thomas is in the Coast Guard, so that adds a special thing. And I’m from Hawaii, so this is like my cousin getting elected,” Shigenaga said. Baker, Coast Guard chief petty officer, said he is excited to watch his new commander in chief sworn in. “It could directly affect what happens with our agency,” Baker said. “To me, just to be there and to experience this is something I’m thrilled to be a part of.” Ocean Beach resident Cameron Gharabiklou, 27 — a practicing attorney — said he requested tickets through Davis’ office the day after the election. Gharabiklou and his brother will attend the event, he said. Although he won inauguration tickets, Gharabiklou said he found hotels near the Capitol were booked, so Gharabiklou says they plan to sleep on a friend’s couch. “I sent in a request through her site the day after the election.

If I know ten people personally, then I can imagine the mob scene,” Gharabiklou said. “It’s exciting. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.” Pacific Beach resident Stacie Somers, 33, said she signed up through Davis’ office after hearing of the lottery. “One of my friends mentioned that a bunch of my friends were signing up through the [representative’s] office, so I went to other Web sites to see what to do,” Somers said.

this inauguration has been inspiring. It was everyday people who made a decisive change of course for our country, and they should share in the celebration of this historic event,” Davis said. Although events kick off free to the public Sunday, Jan. 18, through Wednesday, Jan. 21, this is the first time the National Mall will be open to the public; anyone who wishes to attend the swearing-in ceremony is welcome. Obama starts the process with a “welcome event” on Sunday, Jan. 18, at the Lincoln Memorial. Then, on Monday, Jan. 19, Obama plans to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a Verizon Center youth concert, in addition to activities.

Skate parks supervision shredded by budget woes BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
The city’s five skate parks, including the site at Robb Field on Bacon Street in Ocean Beach, will remain unsupervised indefinitely because of city budget cuts, according to statement from the office of Mayor Jerry Sanders. It costs the city about $282,571 a year to pay staff to supervise the parks in the face of an estimated $53 million budget shortfall. The city has also stopped charging park entry fees, which previously helped cover some of the cost of staff, said Rachel Laing, a spokeswoman for Sanders’ office. But with no supervisors how will the city enforce its own health and safety rules? “We’re going to enforce the rules the same way we’ve always enforced them: People are on their honor and police will do spot checks,” Laing said. Park users should call the nearest recreation center to report any problems, she said. Western Division police Capt. Walt Vasquez said officers will respond to any calls on a case-bycase basis. “It’s more depending on the circumstances and what’s going on down there,” Vasquez said. “Are we receiving calls? That will dictate our response. But at this time it’s a matter of when time permits. Officers will go by the area.” Aside from the facility at Robb Field Recreation Center, other skate parks eliminating supervi-

Spectators are not allowed inside the park, and contests are not permitted. Skating equipment must be in good condition and not damage the facility. Bikes and other sporting equipment are prohibited. Children younger than 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Food, smoking, alcohol and tobacco are prohibited. Profanity and abusive language are prohibited. The skate parks are open from about 10 a.m. to dusk. ■

We did go,” Lightner said. “We got a police escort and we saw how amazingly responsive the police response was.” Lightner said the mayor suggested she speak to District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer because of his experience working with residents after the October 2007 Mount. Soledad landslide. Lightner also asked council members Tony Young and Donna Frye to support her and the people of her district, she said. Lightner, whose previous experience stems from La Jolla’s neighborhood committees, said she leaned on her fellow council members for support regarding the Dec. 8 UC crash. “I asked that they not hold a [council] meeting and said that I would not be there and that they support me,” Lightner said. “They called the meeting to order that day but did not vote on a president until the next day.” Lightner and her staff worked behind the scenes in an effort to aid families impacted by the crash, she said. She organized a community meeting at University City High School so that citizens could gain access to police, military and city officials. “I had the council meeting on Tuesday, so I had staffers and volunteers from my campaign leaflet the neighborhood,” Lightner said.

Flanked by Mayor Jerry Sanders, Police Chief William Lansdowne and Fire-Rescue personnel, District 1 Councilwoman Sherri Lightner speaks during a press conference at the scene of the Dec. 8 crash of a military jet in University Cty.
Although many residents voiced disapproval of the military during the community meeting, Lightner said the task force is not meant to accuse the military of wrongdoing but to find answers. The committee is a civilian-based group seeking answers. “We’re opening lines of communication. This is more fact-finding, not fault-finding,” she said. Lightner said she started gathering members for the UC Crash Community Task Force, which met Jan. 9. She said she is open to allowing a military liaison on the board. “We’re having a meeting with people from the neighborhood — a follow-up to the crash. It will be up to the community to see what
direction they want to take,” Lightner said. “Of course, we will have some suggestions on what we think is possible; there are certain facets of this that are city-related and others that are federally-related.” Lightner serves on three committees for the council, including Land Use and Housing, Natural Resources and Culture, and Public Safety and Neighborhood Services. In addition, she was appointed to eight other committees dealing with Transnet or SANDAG issues. The councilwoman said she is eager to attend these meetings.

England Conservatory of Music and originally a classical pianist, Crispell was a member of saxophonist Anthony Braxton’s quartet for a decade. She performed at the Athenaeum’s Neurosciences Institute series in 2002. Her CD “Vignettes” won many kudos last year. For example, the Londonbased Independent listed it as a top ten jazz album, calling it “a solo suite of hard-won virtuosity.” The second concert, on Jan. 29, features the Hoenig Pilc Project. Drummer Ari Hoenig and pianist Jean-Michel Pilc performed at the Athenaeum in 2006; this time the two are joined by Hans Glawischnig on bass. In an interview with the Idaho Statesman last year, Hoenig described the trio’s dynamic: “It’s like playing within the most intense moment. The music has the ability to change directions very quickly … You have to be witty and always have a response.” On Feb. 12, the Michael Wolff Trio performs for the first time at the Athenaeum, with Wolff on piano, Rich Goods on bass and Victor Jones on drums. In 2007, Wolff released the aptly titled “jazz, JAZZ, jazz,” which featured inventive spins on such standards as “Autumn Leaves” and “Cry Me a River.” He has played with a number of jazz greats, including saxophonists Sonny Rollins and Wayne Shorter, and vocalist Nancy Wilson.

While the performers hail from both Europe and the U.S., the similarities and differences among them don’t necessarily stem from their countries of origin. “The Europeans tend to be more rooted in classical music than in pop or rock. But in terms of the
actual music that these artists are playing, it is not so easy to generalize,” Atkinson said. “For instance, Crispell’s solo work is influenced by the classical piano repertoire of the Romantic period — very introspective, subtle and emotive. By contrast, while Figarova’s recording career began with solo piano recordings of [Russian composer Alexander] Scriabin, her jazz work is swinging and firmly within the tradition. Pilc’s playing tends to be described as ‘explosive,’ yet I have heard him warming up at the piano on Chopin etudes.” Torri sums it up the series this way: “It is one of the rare times that we will have four different concerts with four different pianists playing on our much-loved Hamburg Steinway. Some performers have called the piano the most amazing instrument they ever encountered and have a smile on their face when they play; others feel more challenged by it. But it will be a great way to compare their approaches and their mastering of the instrument and a special treat for the audience.” Jazz at the Athenaeum, Winter 2009, Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. Marilyn Crispell, Saturday, Jan. 17; Hoenig Pilc Project, Thursday, Jan. 29; Michael Wolff Trio, Thursday, Feb. 12; Amina Figarova Sextet, Thursday, Feb. 26.

The Grand Jury: Democracy is not dead! BY WALTER D. HOFMANN
were many that made significant changes for the betterment of our community. How about getting your county tax refund or rebate in 30 days instead of nine months? How about the Probation Department sending school reports in a timely manner to the new school? How about improving the staffing of the health inspections of your local restaurant? To find out how some of these reports have benefited you, go to the web site listed above. A few details: You get $25 for each day you serve. You get free parking in the Hall of Justice. If you prefer to use public transportation, you get tickets or passes on buses or Metrolink. You go on many trips, tours, outings, visits. Not just the jails, but to the D.A.’s Office. The Sheriff’s Department takes you on a helicopter ride of the county. The Coastal Commission takes you on a boat ride around San Diego Bay and Mission Bay. After one year you will be proud of you contribution to your community. You will know one heck of a lot more about your city and county. For me, it did get a bit boring at times. You have to tolerate listening to some folks who enjoy their soapbox, their day of fame as they grandstand their trivia. But all of this downside will be overshadowed by an almost inspirational feeling that you were involved with “democracy at its best” as an individual citizen. Here’s how to go about becoming a good citizen to volunteer for this valuable service: 1. Get an application from: www.sdcounty.ca.gov/grandjury. Then go to “forms,” then to “application form.” Fill it out and send in to the address given on the “instructions. Wait till you get a phone call for an appointment for an interview with a judge. Do the Interview as instructed. Wait to be notified by the Office of the Superior Court Presiding Judge for the “drawing of the names” (drawn by lottery in June so that each Supervisorial District is equally represented). If your name gets drawn, look forward to an exciting “democratic” experience.
hanks to the grand jury system in California, democracy is alive and well in San Diego. There are two types of Grand Juries. Most commonly, people think of a Criminal Grand Jury, which is impaneled by the district attorney to evaluate a particular case. These members are picked from the regular jury pool that we all get called up on from time to time. The “Civil” Grand Jury is quite different. To be on a “Civil” Grand Jury you need to get an application — be interviewed by a Superior Court Judge — and then 19 are picked by lottery to serve a one-year term. This is quite a commitment. I did it for a year. From 2004 through 2005. Every day. At least six hours each day. Yep! For a whole year! From July 1 until June 30. A valuable, eyeopening experience. What did we do? By state law we were required to visit every jail in the county and to report on conditions we found there. And make suggestions of any changes or improvements we felt were advisable and appropriate; actually, recommendations in the form of a “report” that is filed all throughout the year. And then at the end of the year in the form of a book, which also gets put on to a Web site: www.sdcounty.ca.gov/grandjury (go to “reports”). Any citizen can file a “complaint” with this Grand Jury of something they believe should be investigated. “Whistle-blowing” at its best! Each of these requests is carefully evaluated for merit and value, and handled in a careful and serious way. Ah! Now to talk of “democracy.” This is individual rights at its best. Each of the 19 jurors has an equal voice and vote. No “boss” to look over your shoulder or “veto” your hard work. Long, thorough, intensive investigation is done through the work of various committees that they set up for themselves to deal with all possible areas of concern. Then deliberation is undertaken. Sometimes heated. But always with the intent of reaching a fair, reasonable, equitable recommendation that will benefit the community. — La Jollan Walter D. HofOh, yes. Some reports are not mann, M.D., is past president, spectacular. Some are very San Diego Grand Jurors Associordinary. (I admit, some were not all that sensible!) But, there ation. ■

Life in Stalag 17 I sent a letter to the editor last September and I warned, among other things from my experience as a lifeguard in Wildwood, N.J., in the early 1970s, that services would be cut from other departments to enforce the ban on alcohol, should it be made permanent. It fell on deaf ears. The economic downturn of that period was nothing compared to today, even with its long gas lines. But the San Diego voters decided to foot the bill to enforce the ban, and now are paying the price, and it is all San Diego taxpayers footing the bill, not just the beach-area residents. As the former chief of police, Mayor Sanders, you know the dichotomy of economy forces and crime, in that the economy falls and crime rises. Last summer I saw something I have never seen in 15-plus years in PB/MB, and it was every lifeguard stand was manned, police in pairs, on foot, bicycle and RVs literally covering the beach to enforce the temporary ban. I felt like I was living in Stalag 17! It SEE LETTERS, Page 7

Kauanui’s skull was fractured when his head hit the pavement, and he died four days later in the hospital of bluntforce trauma and brain injuries.

was incredible that such resources would be deployed to stop a few college-age people from downing a few cold ones, especially since it was a cooler than usual summer, thus fewer beach goers. Now you are forced to cut services due a “$43 million gap in the city’s fiscal year 2009 budget.” Sanders also states cutting 217 positions from the city payrolls, in addition to asking police and fire-rescue departments to reduce their budgets, thus less vital service to the citizen of San Diego. You are also seeking to change the Mills Act that aids homeowners of historic properties to maintain their respective homes and our heritage. In an interview with the UnionTribune dated Nov. 16, [Sanders] said “more severe cuts are coming in June with the next budget.”

ordinance regulating oversize vehicle parking along Shelter Island Drive and Shoreline Park, according to port officials. The proposal includes the designation of 25 parking spaces for larger vehicles, such as recreational vehicles and trailers, along Shelter Island Drive. The ordinance would also prohibit parking along the street between 3 and 4:30 a.m., said Jim Hutzelman, assistant director of the port’s Communications and Governmental Affairs Department. “We want to address the community concerns that we’ve heard about the drive and the large number of vehicles that tend to monopolize the spaces,” Hutzelman said. “We want to make sure [Shelter Island Drive] is opened up to our day users who want to come down and enjoy the tidelands.” Owners of vehicles more than 22 feet long and 8 feet tall park their vehicles legally around the city all the time. However, it’s become a safety and quality-of-life issue for residents in recent years because of the dearth of public parking at parks, beaches and in neighborhoods.

Floresta hits a mark in anti-deforestation effort Floresta, a San Diego-based international charity that works to end poverty by fighting deforestation, has planted its 4 millionth tree worldwide. Floresta, which has been planting trees since 1984, has recently noted a growth in the scope of its
work, due chiefly to the role of the environment in poverty-stricken countries. Trees, the organization explains, are a source of nourishment and sustainability to the hundreds of millions who live in chronic poverty. Nearly 75 percent of the trees planted are in the Dominican Republic. Floresta has also helped with reforestation efforts in Mexico, Haiti, Tanzania and Thailand. Floresta has established an endowment fund in support of its work. It hopes to raise $50 million by 2020 toward its efforts in reforestation, farming and animal husbandry. ■

Sesame Street has its cookie monster; La Jolla has its cookie master, and the affable artist of dough, Girard Gourmet’s Francois Goedhuys, once again spun his imagination into fantasy figures for the holidays. There were the traditional Santa and reindeer, plus angels on high and other delightful flat figurines strewn throughout the Athenaeum, but best of all there was the non-traditional, true-to-life series of villages (even a White House) representing the abysmal state of our country. You had to see it! Francois should have his own segment on the Food Network. Taking center stage in one room was an oversize crate titled “Smoking Room” installed earlier for a show. There were peepholes here and there, giving a glimpse of a rather unattractive interior, but that was the whole idea. The buffet served included grapes and monstrous baby tomatoes looking as if they had been raised on steroids, in addition to the cookies patrons were permitted to eat. Two servers were busy slicing huge chunks of roast beef for service on miniature rolls, Dagwood style, sans forks and knives. Athenaeum stalwart Penny West made quite a fashion statement with her snake bracelet winding up her arm from elbow to shoulder. Altogether another spectacular Ath holiday party.

Diversionary dives into family issues BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Diversionary Theatre (in collaboration with San Diego Black Ensemble Theatre) opened its 2009 season Jan. 10 with Paul Oakley Stovall’s serious little comedy, “As Much as You Can,” which continues through Jan. 25 at the University Heights venue. This review is based on the evening performance of Jan. 11. Originally produced by Chicago’s Dog and Pony Theatre, the piece has been revised several times to keep up with current events, including recent gay rights legislation and the election of Barack Obama. It takes us to the core of a Chicago African-American family with divergent opinions about homosexuality, religion, morality and race. What one needs to know from the outset is how some of the characters are related by blood. Youngest brother Tony (Patrick Kelly) is getting married (the bride is never seen). Evie (Ida L. Rhem), eldest of the three full siblings and matriarch by default, is a Biblethumping schoolteacher. Jesse (Kevane La’Marr Coleman), the effete eldest brother, has fled her narrowmindedness and now lives in New York with his gay Swedish lover, Kristian (sweet Brian Mackey). Kristian is coming to the wedding under the guise of videographer. Jesse’s certain that Evie knows he’s gay, but thinks springing a very white boyfriend on her would be a bit much. He’s right.
could this possibly have to do with anything we’ve seen this evening? The unseen character’s death does not heal the family: they’ve already made themselves whole, at least “as much as they can.” One admires the playwright for addressing thorny issues, though digging deeper might have resulted in something more original and subtle. Evie, whose capitulation could be wonderful and warm and the heart of the play, teeters on the PHOTO BY KEN JACQUES PHOTOGRAPHY brink of stereotype Brother and sister Jesse (Kevane La’Marr Cole- because most of her man) and Evie (Ida L.

Ask Aubrey
do recessions and Q. What stock markets have in common? My best guesstimate is A. our current bear market started October 2007 with the formal date of our current recession starting December 2007. According to NBER statistics (www.nber.org), we have witnessed fifteen recessions in the last 82 years – and eleven since the end of WWII. While recent events are unnerving, the markets have recovered after similar periods of stress. Although past performance does not predict the future, after 9/11, the S&L crisis, Enron and World Com bank-
ruptcies and the busting of the tech bubble - the markets eventually rebounded to levels higher than they were before the crisis. It’s also important to remember that the stock market usually bottoms out four to six months before a recession ends. Fortunately, the downturns don’t usually last nearly as long as the upswings. If you leave the market now entirely, you probably won’t make it back in time to enjoy the complete recovery. According to the Schwab Center for Financial Research www.schwab.com, missing the first few months of a new bull market can reduce the first year’s return by a third or more, not including the current market. If you find yourself moving your money around every time the market drops, it might be time to hire a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM professional to hold your hand through the current crisis.

INSIDE LA JOLLA Is infighting inevitable?

Cuban- and Afro-jazz and pop references, puts one pleasantly in mind of Astor Piazzolla. Next up was Peter Illyich Tchaikovsky’s “Souvenir de Florence” as arranged by artistic director/contrabass violin Joe McNally. What seems lacking in this work is dynamic contrast, the true and luscious beauty of timbre one expects of strings, and the usual nuance, sweetness and singing quality of phrasing, both individual and in unison. Granted it is a virtuoso work — especially as arranged for a mere eight players, and redolent of Bach’s Brandenburgs — but it is, after all, Tchaikovsky. At the conclusion, this listener was more exhausted than transported by the lovely melodies. Other listeners, who applauded with excitement between each of the four movements, were on their feet. The program concluded with a rousing performance by “Three Extraordinary Tenors,”
Dennis McNeil, Jose Medina and Jorge Lopez-Yanez. Their voices raised the roof of the Neurosciences Institute auditorium at least three inches off its moorings. As with any three tenors, including the original trio of Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, each brings singular virtues to the platform. Physically agile and droll, McNeil has a lovely lyric sound, so reliable in beauty and pitch. Medina has ravishing beauty of tone and seemingly endless ability to scale the heights, and Lopez-Yanez, though his voice seemed a bit dry and tired at times Friday night, provided hefty ballast. Listeners enjoyed such tenorial standards as “Granada,” the brindisi (“Libiamo”) from “La Traviata,” and “Nessun Dorma” from “Turandot.” Then the three clowned their way through a number from “Mamma Mia!” Hutchins Consort presents concerts at Neurosciences Institute at 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Feb. 6 and March 27.

Once, in preparation for a trip to China, I read in the encyclopedia about the history of that country. What struck me was the similarity of the histories of so many countries. Centuries of feudal lords battling with each other and eventual unification leading to a series of dynasties or monarchies and endless murders of succession. As a child in France, I grew up reading about dukes who killed princes for a territory or crown; other countries had their barons, cardinal or czars. This morning’s headlines are the same, whether it’s tribal warfare in Africa, unrest in the Middle East, or feuding gangs in South America or on the streets of Los Angeles. The financial page is not much better, with news of takeovers, mergers, bankruptcies, fraud and lawsuits. The society page has its share of bitter divorces, child-custody battles and fights over inheritances. And so here we are, all smalltime feudal lords still, battling for our piece of the pie. For some it’s only their fair share they want, for others it is imperialism: my share and yours too. Is it an instinctual push to keep acquiring more? Is the need for constant challenge built into our genetic code? As soon as we have achieved success, we look for other areas to conquer. And so it is at work, the place where we do daily battle to gain some small advantage up the ladder on which we’re so precariously poised. We grasp at the smallest cues to ascertain our movement upward: “The boss complimented me today,” or

“They chose me to represent the company.” Feeling good about oneself is often the result of having overtaken someone else. “Winning,” that great American word, means competition and needing to do better than or having more than that other person. Some cultures like ours have emphasized individual achievement. Other cultures, like the Japanese, have been able to emphasize the achievements of the work group as the goal. At times a few even manage feelings of pride in their organization without the infighting. When there is a common enemy, a nation can forget its class and ideological differences and rally together. The whole world would surely unite if an enemy came from another planet. But in the meantime, is there anything we can do to minimize the dog-eat-dog world of work, the backstabbing, the cheating, the elbowing, the sabotaging? Isn’t there something we can do to make not only the workplace a harmonious environment where people are friendly, warm and supportive and can delight in each other’s successes? In a study where employees were asked about the most important requirement of their workplace, the answer was not money or other benefits but friendly co-workers. The family, the boardroom and the nonprofit all would also benefit from a more noncompetitive environment. I wrote this short poem: Every one of us who looks good makes the rest of us look better
Of course, you could start right now being less competitive and aggressive, but if you are the only one being that way, you might be eaten alive. The whole department — or even better, the total organization in a concerted effort — must decide to be more supportive and caring. The manager or executive would have to stop rewarding competition and reward cooperation instead. No one will stop until it doesn’t get them what they want anymore. People’s energies will be then used for improvement and innovation rather than self-advancement. The need for friendship and mutual dependence is at least as strong as the need to compete and gain territory. We may also have here a gender difference. I believe that men more often than women may perceive competition as just a friendly game, while collaboration and nurturing may be more valued by women. Anthropologists have discovered that in matriarchal societies, the skeletal remains show far fewer broken skulls and war wounds than in male-dominated societies. This, of course, belies the behaviors of some of our more recent women leaders who had to use male strategies for advancement in order to make it to the top in a male-dominated hierarchy. Jonas Salk, who often spoke to my classes, dreamed of a society where earned merit and cooperation were rewarded. Remember Plato in the 4th century BCE? He too believed in a meritocracy. As we progress toward becoming more and more civilized, perhaps we will finally achieve what Plato hoped for, so many centuries ago.

A number of high school graduates with ties to the La Jolla area are seeing action this winter at different college campuses. In women’s basketball, Michelle Brunker (The Bishop’s School) is a freshman guard for the Louisiana at Lafayette team. Brunker netted a career-high 12 points in a recent 69-42 victory over Savannah State. Elsewhere, Dominique Conners (La Jolla Country Day School) is a freshman guard for the University of San Diego women’s basketball team. Conners had a solid outing last Saturday (Jan. 10), tallying 16 points, pulling down a career-high seven rebounds and dishing out five assists in a 67-54 victory over Santa Clara. Chelsea Burns (La Jolla Country Day School) had a career-high 15 points to lead Utah State to a recent 72-58 win over New Mexico State. Burns is a freshman guard/forward for the Lady Aggies.

Girls cagers tip off league play after holiday tournament action BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
The girls basketball scene is heating up after the holidays as local teams head into league play. At La Jolla High, the Lady Vikings under head coach Ty Eveleth opened league action last week with a 30-24 victory over University City High. Natalia Cravens paced La Jolla with 10 points. Despite a non-league loss to Mira Mesa last Friday evening, Eveleth is seeing improved play. “We are pleased with the improved defensive effort,” Eveleth commented. Elsewhere, The Bishop’s School (14-2) won two of three contests in action with several Colorado schools last week. In a 61-59 victory over Colorado Chaparral, Bishop’s had three players in double figures, with Gizelle Studevent (17 points),
SPORTS brief La Jolla High searching for track coaches Come and meet some of the best athletes in town. La Jolla High School has had a phenomenal track team over the years, as both boys and girls have recently won CIF (boys 2004, girls 2007 and runners-up last season). These great student-athletes are ready to train and compete, but the team is in need of coaches. Coaches are needed for the hurdles, high jump, shotput and discus and a boys distance coach. Any of
Elaina White (15 points) and Inga Orekhova (13 points) leading the way. Bishop’s also scored a 68-50 win over Colorado Monarch, while dropping a 64-57 decision to Colorado Thunder Ridge. La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School comes into action this week with a record of 7-5. The Lady Torreys rebounded after dropping two of three decisions in the Nike Tournament, with a 73-12 drubbing of San Dieguito. In the win over San Dieguito, LJCD was led by Maya Hood (16 points), Kaylah Miller (14 points), Ariana Elegado (13 points), Chemayne Shipley (12 points) and Gillian Howard (11 points). Finally, University City High comes into action this week at 7-9. Along with the loss to La Jolla High last week, UC scored a 52-29 win over league foe Lincoln. ■
these could also be the boys head coach. Workouts will be starting Feb. 21, and the school will need these coaches until the first weekend in June, if the athletes advance that far in competition. Hours are somewhat contingent on the number of student-athletes the coaches work with, but the starting time is between 1:30 and 2 p.m. Meets are on Thursdays and some invitationals are on Saturdays. A stipend is offered for assisting with the team. For further information, contact the athletic director, (858) 4543081, or head girls track coach Roger Karnopp, (858) 204-0098. ■
Two area scholastic wrestling programs are pinning their hopes on successful seasons following last season’s progress. At La Jolla High, head coach Ryan Lennard’s Vikings finished 4-3 in dual meet competition a season ago. The Vikings were fourth in CIFs and had an All-American female wrestler in Madison Huemmer. La Jolla’s team was also named an All-Academic squad for San Diego County with a cumulative GPA of 4.1. As for this season, the Vikings are off to a 1-1 start with a victory over San Diego High and a loss to Cathedral Catholic. Key wrestlers to date include seniors Jordan Dyer and Diego Alayza. Lennard noted that Charles Zuo makes up the trio of seniors this year, and with not one four-year wrestler on the team, the Vikings are doing well, given that fact. La Jolla is looking to avoid the injury bug following the loss of fourth-place CIF placer David Blasquez. Fresh off knee surgery, Blasquez broke his thumb in his first practice back on the mats. “This is my fifth year coaching, and I have never seen any team in any sport with the amount of injuries and just flatout bad luck we have had this season,” Lennard said. “Our potential is huge, but our key wrestlers who would really be making things happen right now are still out for at least the next month. We may have a full squad for the City Championships and CIF but only time will tell. We do have a good number of first-year wrestlers this season, and we hope to continue improving all year round with our post-season wrestling program and off-season competition.”
... I have never seen any team in any sport with the amount of injuries ... we have had this season. RYAN LENNARD LJHS COACH
At neighboring University City (UC) High, the Centurions under head coach Jeret Needham are off to a good start behind the efforts of captains Anthony Esquivel (14-3) and Dylan Ebersole (92). Last season, Esquivel placed second in CIFs and is a favorite to win it this year. “We have a young squad with a lot of heart,” Needham said. “I couldn’t ask for a better group of freshmen. Our Kids Club wrestlers are starting to make an impact at the high school level. Mikey Esquivel and Joseph Charles have really looked good on varsity.” UC, which was slated to meet La Jolla High yesterday (Jan. 14), will be wrestling the defending Western League champions, Cathedral Catholic, on Jan 21, 6 p.m., at home. UC’s youth team has been on fire, placing second and third in the first two tournaments of the season (out of 38 teams). UC’s lone female wrestler, Danielle Robinson, has been wrestling well, according to Needham, with a first and third in her two tournaments this season. “It’s been a fun start to what should be a very successful season,” Needham added. ■

NFL REPORT
Chargers run into wall of unyielding Steelers BY BOB HURST
There was a sense early in the third quarter of the AFC Divisional Game at Pittsburgh on Sunday that the San Diego Chargers were in trouble. Pittsburgh was leading 14-10 after a score just before halftime and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was methodically driving his team into Chargers territory. The final Steelers scoring drive before halftime went 77 yards on 13 plays, ending on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Heath Miller, chewing up 7 minutes, 56 seconds. It was the beginning of the end for the Chargers in what would be a 3524 defeat. Despite a 63-yard kickoff return by Darren Sproles after the Steelers scored, things unraveled even more. San Diego quar-
terback Philip Rivers was intercepted at the Steelers 21. A Pittsburgh punt bounced off the helmet of Charger return-team specialist Eric Weddle and was recovered by the Steelers. And Gary Russell’s 1-yard TD run with 12:52 left in the fourth gave the Steelers a 28-10 lead — all but sealing the deal. Altogether, the Chargers had the ball for one play (not including the kickoff return) and for only 0:17 in the third quarter. “We were standing on the sideline and it was like, ‘We were in for one play in the quarter and it was an interception,’” Rivers said. “There was a little bit of disbelief. You can’t call it a fluke. Those guys made plays but that was crazy.” It was a disappointing finish for SEE NFL, Page B·4

HOWDY, POD-NERS: gray whales pass by SD BY JOSEPH GREENBERG | VILLAGE NEWS
Majestic gray whales have already begun their annual 10, 000-mile round-trip journey, traveling from their feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to the tropical lagoons of Baja, Mexico, to play, rest, breed and give birth. The natural phenomenon signals the start of the popular whalewatching season around San Diego’s coastline. These gentle giants, which can reach lengths of 45 feet, pass in close proximity to the coast of San Diego every year on the longest It’s no fluke — or actually, that’s exactly what it is, as a gray whale flips its tail dur- mammal migration in the world. “We usually see them on their ing a dive.

late December,” said Staci Shaut, the whale-watching lead at Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Birch Aquarium. “Then we see them passing on their way back north in mid- to late March.” “They are numbering around 20,000 animals and that is a safe estimate,” said Wayne Perryman, a biologist at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. The primarily Arctic whales spend from June to October feeding in and around the Bering Sea in preparation for the trip. “The whales are able to consume around 2,400 pounds of food a day in the nutrient-rich waters of the Arctic,” Shaut said.
The huge caloric intake is converted into fat or blubber stores. Most whales are estimated to put on 6 to 12 inches of blubber, which they rely on during their migratory journey, Shaut said. Gray whales belong to the baleen family, yet their feeding habits are a little different. Their main feeding routine involves “digging through the mud with their massive jaws and straining out the clouds of arthropods with their baleen, a process called benthic feeding,” Shaut said. In October, the pregnant females are the first to embark on the trip, needing to reach the warm lagoon SEE WHALES, Page B·6

Sharp Cabrillo nursing facility to close in April BY ANTHONY GENTILE | VILLAGE NEWS
Residents seeking post-treatment care at the Sharp Cabrillo Skilled Nursing Facility in Point Loma will have to look beyond their own backyard next year. The 76-bed facility will close when its lease expires April 3. “Operations have been at a significant loss,” said John Cihomsky, vice president of public relations for Sharp Cabrillo. Cihomsky said many factors forced the decision to close the facility, including the age and maintenance costs of the building, low insurance reimbursement rates for treatment, high utility costs, increased medical supply costs and lease expenses. In addition, Cihomsky said the skilled nursing center lost about $7 million last year. “We looked at the losses and what the market has as capacity for these patients,” Cihomsky said. “We saw that there was an excess of capacity in the county.”
In order to provide the best patient care, we need to be financially fit. JOHN CIHOMSKY SHARP CABRILLO
There are 82 other skilled nursing facilities in the county, 45 of which are within a 15-mile radius of Sharp Memorial Hospital in Kearny Mesa. And of the patients discharged from Sharp Memorial who required additional care, 35 percent were sent to Sharp Cabrillo Skilled Nursing Facility — the other 65 percent were sent to the 82 non-Sharp facilities. Sharp Cabrillo provided acute care in Point Loma until 1999. The facility now handles only patients
who have received treatment at Sharp Memorial and require care afterward. “They’re not ready to go home, but don’t need to be in an acutecare hospital bed,” Cihomsky said. Currently, Sharp Cabrillo has about 70 patients with an average patient stay of 23 days. The patients who have already been admitted into the facility will not be affected by the closing, hospital officials said. “Patients there now will continue receiving care. They will be discharged well before the closing,” Cihomsky said. “Other patients who require a longer stay will be sent to an appropriate facility to meet their needs.” The facility will limit admissions beginning in January and will not take in patients who require longterm care. By the end of February, all patients there will be discharged or, if necessary, sent to other skilled nursing facilities in the area. Sharp Cabrillo employs a total of
201 people, according to hospital officials. Cihomsky said Sharp is helping employees at the Point Loma facility to find new jobs within the organization by holding job fairs and giving them priority on open positions. “We’re trying to help all those employees find jobs within Sharp Healthcare,” Cihomsky said. With many companies facing financial issues in a struggling economy, Cihomsky said the move by Sharp is not an indication of shaky financial status. “In order to provide the best patient care, we need to be financially fit,” Cihomsky said. “Patients want the latest technology, and the money that we don’t have to spend in places we don’t need to is best for the overall organization.” As for the building itself, Cihomsky said Sharp is leasing it from Loma Cabrillo LLC. The building used to be called Doctor’s Hospital and was purchased and renamed by Sharp in 1981. ■

the Bolts, who won their last four games to reach the playoffs, then beat Indianapolis in the first round to go over the .500 mark for the first time this season. On Sunday, Rivers went 21-for35 for 308 yards and three touchdowns, including a 41-yarder to Vincent Jackson just more than two minutes into the game for a 70 lead. Rivers had more yardage through the air than Roethlisberger, who was 17-for-26 for 181 yards, but the ground game was another story. With LaDainian Tomlinson sidelined by injury, Sproles and the Chargers were held to only 15 yards rushing. Pittsburgh piled up 165 yards rushing, with Willie Parker getting 146 yards and two touchdowns. “We knew we could do that,” said the Steelers Santonio Holmes, who returned a 67-yard punt for a touchdown and 7-7 tie in the first quarter. “That’s Steelers football: run the ball, pound them down. Once we get them down, we can do whatever we want to do with them.” One of the few shining performances for the Chargers came from Sproles, who finished with five catches for 91 yards, including a 62-yard TD catch late in the fourth. He had 274 total yards and his 602 combined yards in the two playoff contests set an NFL record for two consecutive postseason games. The Chargers, who finished the regular season 8-8, now have to wait again until next year to see if they can reach their dream destination — the Super Bowl.

‘Notorious’-ly bad; but ‘Brides’ full of laughs BY JAMES COLT HARRISON | VILLAGE NEWS
Please do not confuse the new Fox Searchlight bomb “Notorious” with the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller of the same name made in 1946 with Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains. That film had class, suspense and style. The new film, patched together by director George Tilman Jr., is a look at a 20th-century phenomenon, rap music. The dialogue alone will turn your ears blue. Whatever you do, do not waste your money on this new film about the infamous rap star Notorious B.I.G. (Jamal Woolard), who was gunned down at age 24 after becoming a success in the music industry. The film glamorizes drug dealers, jailbirds, street whores, bums, uneducated people and absent fathers and abusers of women. Horrible. And this film is a musical of sorts! Poor Angela Bassett, who is a fine actress, has reached that certain age when actresses have to take more or less what they are offered in films. She does a terrific job as B.I.G.’s straightand-narrow mom, but she’s defeated by the nastiness of the film. The film is lugubrious and distasteful. This is especially pointed out when one of the female rappers gets up on stage and keeps repeating over and over, “Eat my (unmentionable)!” Not exactly Swiss Finishing School material. This film represents the worst that Hollywood can create, and you may thank Sean “Puffy” Combs for producing this piece of

happens with Candice Bergen’s wedding planning service, the two girls find that their weddings will be held at the same time, thus fouling up all their plans. This, naturally, causes tensions between the two childhood pals and they become sworn enemies. This opens the film up to many funny situations, and director Gary Winick seems able to squeeze every comic moment out of the two lovely girls. Hathaway, by the way, could play veteran actress Ann Blyth’s daughter because of their similar toothy smiles. Miss Blyth played the famous and vicious daughter of Joan Crawford in “Mildred Pierce” in the 1940s. The famous Plaza Hotel was the setting of Kay Thompson’s book character “Eloise,” which later became a film. Famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright took a suite there when he was building the round Guggenheim Museum. He completely redesigned the hotel suite in his own style — and they let him! So, in “Bride Wars,” the hotel itself is one of the main characters, and elegant it is. The hotel has starred in many, many films. The two young ladies are very appealing, and their leading men are handsome and eager, they being Chris Pratt, Bryan Greenberg and Steve Howey. Production credits are wonderful, and the settings and costume designs — wedding gowns courtesy of Vera Wang — are the tops. In fact, the girls both say, “You don’t PHOTO COURTESY FOX SEARCHLIGHT alter a Vera Wang to fit your Jamal Woolard (right) portrays the Notorious B.I.G. in “Notorious,” a new film body; you alter your body to fit a Vera Wang!” ■ based on the real story of the rap star who was shot and killed at age 24.

swill. It gets my vote as the Worst Picture of the Year, and it’s only January. “Bride Wars” will put a smile on your face. Although it is definitely a “chick flick,” there is enough relatable material for men to enjoy, too. 20th Century Fox seems a bit schizophrenic in producing wildly different films as “Notorious” and “Bride Wars” out of the same sound stages. The giggly offspring of Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson is almost a replica of her funny mom and seemingly as talented. She and the gorgeous Anne Hathaway are best girlfriends who dream of having their weddings at the famous Plaza Hotel in New York — but not on the same day. When a scheduling conflict

WHALES CONTINUED FROM Page B·1
waters to have their young. The 60- to 70-degree lagoon water in Baja is beneficial to the animals because they do not have to rely on their depleted blubber stores to heat themselves. “Upon their arrival in Baja, they are considerably skinnier as a result of making their journey,” Perryman said. Another reason the lagoon waters of Baja are sought out by the whales is its high saline content. “This results in the water being very buoyant and helps to keep calves afloat while they learn to swim,” Shaut said. One area of contention among gray whale experts is whether all of the whales make the journey south or if some linger behind. “Whales are counted going south past central California and we have to assume that everybody migrates,” Perryman said. If this is incorrect, it would obviously yield biased data, he added. “We are starting to suspect that they don’t all necessarily migrate every year,” Perryman said. Shaut confirms the latter suspicion, saying she believes that not all whales make the migration. “Some whales stay up north. We will even see juveniles hanging out around San Diego, and when they encounter adults heading back north, they will turn around with them,” Shaut said. It was most likely a juvenile like this that became confused and stranded in the general area a decade ago. SeaWorld animal rescue officials were in a position to help out. “In January of 1997, J.J. [the juvenile whale] was found on the beach near Marina Del Rey. The animal was dehydrated and malnourished, so we took her in,” SeaWorld communications director Dave Koontz said.
We are starting to suspect that they don’t all necessarily migrate each year. WAYNE PERRYMAN NOAA
Whale-watchers train their eyes and binoculars on the waves in hopes of seePHOTO COURTESY SIO ing some migrating gray whales.
The animal care staff at SeaWorld was able to create a baby whale milk formula from scratch to feed J.J. “Nobody had done it before, but J.J. responded fairly quickly here at the park,” Koontz said. “J.J. was tube-fed in the initial stages and shortly after she was actually nursing from a device we created. She was slowly weaned off formula and put onto solid food, and thereafter quickly demonstrated an ability to forage and find food as a normal grey whale would in the ocean.” After 14 months of a successful rehabilitation — during which time J.J. grew from 14 feet to 30 feet in size — SeaWorld was able to reintroduce her to the wild. “She was transferred to a Coast Guard vessel and taken off the coast a few miles and released,” Koontz said. Koontz said J.J.’s release was timed with the northward migration of gray whales in the hope she would be taken in. “Her GPS tracking device unfortunately fell off after three days, but it is our hope that J.J. is still out there swimming today,” Koontz said. Gray whale populations are
slowly growing. Because of worldwide protection efforts, their numbers rose so steadily that, in 1994, they were taken off of the endangered species list. However, some natural threats still remain because orcas (killer whales) are their main predators. “We see orca attacks more on the northbound migration and the mothers have to watch their calves,” Shaut said. “Around Monterey Bay is where we hear a lot about attacks happening, where there are many more orcas.” Along with natural threats, impacts from human beings still exist. “They [the whales] encounter a lot of pollution, noise and boat traffic, so there are definitely obstacles along the way,” Shaut said. Gray whales are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), and there are certain limits which define how close whalewatching boats can get to marine life. Not coming within 100 yards is a widely accepted distance not to breach. “You cannot be within a certain distance of the whales. If they happen to swim up to the boat to get a look at us, that is OK,” Shaut said.
“However, we cannot cut off their path or block their way at all.” Shaut makes a special point of this when educating her team of naturalist whale-watching tour guides. Several whale-watching tours are offering their services to bring animal lovers up close and personal with the aquatic creatures. Just remember to keep respect and conservation in mind when coming to watch the journey of the gray whale.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it's illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, just when you think you have it all figured out, a surprise throws you for a loop. There are no sure bets and things can change at any minute, especially this week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Something seems like bad luck at first, but when you view it again, it's actually the best thing that can happen to you, Taurus. Keep that in mind as you approach the week. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, don't be so hard on yourself when something doesn't go the way you planned. It gives you a chance to try it all over again and get it right. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 This is not the week for spending frivolously, Cancer. Wait it out until you have some more discretionary funds for making purchases. A rash decision puts you in hot water. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You're making too much of an issue with something that happened at work, Leo. Let it go or it's likely to cause a festering wound. A change of scenery can help. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Flexibility will take you through the next couple of weeks. Without it, you will get easily frustrated, Virgo. Keep in mind that not all of your well-intentioned plans will work. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, one thing that initially seemed like a bad idea really is something you'll want to investigate further. Don't pay attention to others when they offer their two cents' worth. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you first have to get your life in order before you can help others or look too far into the future. While helping others is a nice idea, get your own house in order first. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 There's more than meets the eye to a person with whom you've been spending more and more time, Sagittarius. Exercise caution with this relationship. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Until you can understand a situation, Capricorn, you can't offer your advice on what's going on. Resist the urge to comment for the next few days. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You're ahead of the curve in terms of finances, Aquarius. But things can change very quickly, so don't let this sense of security go to your head. Also, keep spending to a minimum. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 You can offer all the advice you want to others; it doesn't mean they're going to take it. Expect resistance from someone this week, Pisces.
