Expert offers insight into H1N1

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

Despite officials closing three San Diego city schools, fearing students infected with swine flu might spread the virus, experts say the H1N1 flu is no more dangerous than the average strain.

San Diego County Health officials reported 29 confirmed flu cases as of May 6, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 403 U.S. cases and one confirmed death.

Experts such as La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology’s (LJIAI) Alessandro Sette, Ph.D., say the virus is not as virulent as they first thought, offering insight into several possibilities for the public’s reactions toward

the H1N1 virus.

“The early data that was coming out in the first few days would suggest a fairly severe mortality rate. The data that is now crystallizing is suggesting that is not the case,” Sette said.

“It is not that different than the seasonal flu.”

Although Sette studies infectious diseases and is not a sociologist, the scientist said a number of factors could have spurred public fears regarding the swine flu, including a lack of public knowledge regarding the seasonal flu and the word pandemic.

“There’s a certain confusion of pandemic versus epidemic,” Sette said. “Pandemic doesn’t

mean severe — it means widespread disease. Epidemic means an outbreak. When an epidemic is all over the world it is a pandemic, but it doesn’t mean it has a high mortality.”

A pandemic can spread benign infections, according to Sette.

“I think the lack of information early on, on how much society is affected by the seasonal flu, made people more prone to panicking,” Sette said. “In general, when something is not known, until there is [data] and how easily it spreads it is legitimate to be on your highest guard.”

Spring jazz brings Bunnett’s Cuban sounds

BY BETH WOOD | VILLAGE NEWS

Top Canadian jazz flutist and saxophonist Jane Bunnett recorded her new album, “Embracing Voices,” with the Cuban vocal ensemble Desandann. But San Diegans won’t be able to hear, let alone embrace, any of those Cuban singers when she performs next Wednesday at the Athenaeum Jazz at the Neurosciences Institute concert series.

“There’s a little thing called the embargo,” Bunnett explained.

“The U.S. will not allow the singers in Desandann to come in.

In early April we were touring west Canada, and when I get back from this tour, I’ll pick up with these guys.”

In the meantime, Bunnett will perform here with Elio Villafranca on piano, Jorge Perez on bass, Jorge Najarro on timbales and Arturo Stable on percussion. All are Cuban musicians with U.S.

credentials.

“It’s a bit of an all-star group,” Bunnett said from her home in Ontario, Canada. “We’ve all performed together before, but it’s a first for this configuration. Everything takes on different chemistry when that happens. I’m excited about it.”

3 Cattle rustlers spirit away CowParade bovine Serial rapist strikes again; all cases show similar MO THURSDAY · MAY 7, 2009

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

Thieves recently hit La Jolla, cownapping Cow Parade’s “Werc Cow.” Bandits stole Girard Avenue’s newest art addition sometime between Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26, according to shop owners who reported the missing bovine.

“I came into work Monday to do some office work and noticed it was gone,” said Tommy Aucoin, owner of Atelier Aucoin Salon and Academy at 7535 Girard Ave., in front of which the Werc Cow had grazed. “I called my wife and she said maybe they brought it to Artwalk, San Diego’s outdoor art show in Little Italy. But then when it didn’t come back on Tuesday, we called CowParade.”

“I said, ‘Oh no, cow rustling in La Jolla,’” Aucoin added.

According to Aucoin, the lifesize cow was outside his salon Saturday but he noticed it was missing after he arrived at the salon Monday around noon, he said.

“It’s just a shame because the big loser is Children’s Hospital,” Aucoin said.

CowParade La Jolla sprinkled about 33 head of cattle — painted by local artists for charity — throughout La Jolla and UTC, each worth several thousand dollars, according to CowParade spokesman Michael Kinsman.

“This is ‘Grand Theft Cow,’” Kinsman said. “It will probably

auction between $5,000 and $10,000 — that’s the value of the cow.”

Each cow is scheduled to sell during a July 11 auction at the Robert Paine Scripps Forum, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in an effort to raise funds for Children’s Hospital.

“We want our cow back unharmed,” Kinsman said.

“We’re attached to these cows, believe it or not.”

According to Kinsman, San Diego artist Werc Alvarez — a popular graffiti artist — painted the multi colored Werc Cow. “I had to call the artist and tell him,” Kinsman said.

Meanwhile, police took photos of the crime scene, attaching a case number to the inci-

dent, Kinsman said. But CowParade officials said they are focused on getting the cow back, setting up a hotline to ask the public to help find the bovine unharmed.

“It was dark at night,” Kinsman said. “They unbolted it and just carted it off.”

CowParade officials said the thieves haven’t made any demands for the cow’s safe return.

“We’re talking about offering a reward. We want it back any way we can,” Kinsman said.

Police are searching for a serial rapist suspected in a string of at least six sexual attacks and robberies countywide. The crime wave that began in June 2008 has targeted Asian women in their homes, including a Nov. 7 assault in the Mesa Housing complex at UC San Diego.

According to San Diego Police Department (SDPD) detectives, in the latest case the rapist attacked a woman returning home with an 18month-old child April 28 at about 11:30 a.m. in the 6500 block of Reflection Drive in the College Area.

“The suspect’s method of operation is similar in all of the cases: attacking women shortly after they return home,” police said. “The suspect enters through an open garage or front door, generally while the victim is carrying items into the home.”

SDPD and UCSD police are collaborating in an effort to catch the predator.

UCSDPD Detective Melissa Collins said the attacker — described in the latest case as a Hispanic male, about 30 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall with a medium build — targets Asian women, robbing them but not always sexually assaulting them. Collins said victims were having a difficult time identifying their attacker, but police may have made some headway toward catching him, she said.

“He approaches from the rear,” Collins said, regarding the attacks.

Police are confident the predator is the same suspect in each assault throughout the county, she added.

“His MO was so similar. All of the

women in the home invasion rapes have just returned home,” Collins said. “There are six that San Diego PD is tying together.”

Because police believe the predator may have followed his victims home, SDPD Robbery and Sex Crimes Units said women should be aware of their surroundings, especially when returning home alone.

“Look in the rear-view mirror of your vehicle to make sure no one is following you. When you arrive home, look for suspicious persons loitering around your home,” SDPD said in a press release. “If you see someone suspicious, drive around the block and make sure the person has gone. If he is still there, drive a safe distance away and call police.”

Police said women should keep their garage door closed and doors locked. Collins said that if women believe someone is following them, they should not hesitate to call authorities.

“Don’t be embarrassed,” Collins said. “Drive to the police station, to the fire station.”

Collins said she encourages women to insert the campus police number — which is (858) 534-4357 or 4-help on campus — into their cell phones, adding that response is quicker than 9-1-1, which calls either California Highway Patrol or SDPD. Collins said the university offers additional support, such as self-defense technique classes.

“We have RAD, the Rape Aggression Defense class. It’s open to all women in the community for $10 over three evenings,” Collins said, in SEE RAPIST, Page 5

Ask The Lawyer Question:

SM

What is the proper way to list the beneficiaries on my IRAs?

When you open an IRA, you fill out a form and you list one or more Beneficiaries. If you have not reviewed these Beneficiary Designation Forms lately, you should do so now. If you fail to list a beneficiary or if they have died, the asset is part of your estate and may be subject to probate. You want to avoid this court procedure.

Answer:

The best way to list the beneficiaries is to name an individual or list of individuals. If the spouse is the appropriate beneficiary, it is best to list them as the beneficiary. The spouse can rollover the IRA into their own IRA. Other individuals can rollover the IRA into an IRA, but they will be required to take a yearly minimum distribution. THis amount is based on the beneficiaries’ life expectancy and the financial institution will figure it out for you.

In certain circumstances you can name a trust as a beneficiary and it can get the same rollover treatment. Check with your financial institution and your estate planning attorney. The benefit of a rollover IRA is that the funds can continue to have tax deferred treatment. The interest income and dividends will not be taxed until the money is taken out of the IRA. Now, I have a question for you — have you funded your 2009 IRA yet?

An average of 36,000 people in the United States die from the seasonal flu each year, Sette said.

According to the CDC, the deaths resulted from complications associated with the flu. The CDC says older people, young children and others with health conditions are at greater risk for complications, adding that “every year in the United States, on average 5 percent to 20 percent of the population gets the flu; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications…”

“Obviously we need to be totally vigilant and to monitor this strain. Influenza strains do mutate over time,” Sette said. “It’s helpful to point out that viruses do mutate in either direction, but viruses in circulation tend to become less virulent.”

Sette said the Ebola virus would be an example of an ineffective virus. Although Ebola is deadly, the virus kills its host so quickly that it can’t spread, Sette said.

“In a way, it’s not in the best interest of the virus to kill people because it doesn’t spread,” Sette said.

such as H1N1 — or swine flu — in a few months, he said. And if the virus mutates, Sette said, they would most likely need to create a new vaccine.

“Influenza viruses mutate over time. Eventually viruses mutate enough to require new vaccines,” Sette said.

Sette, who heads the Division of Vaccine Discovery at LJIAI and serves as director of the institute’s Center for Infectious Disease, also holds adjunct professorships at UCSD and The Scripps Research Institute. He studied sites on viruses that trigger an immune response and is considered a world authority on the subject, according to his biography.

Jack Brandais, media relations spokesman for San Diego Unified School District, said parents of SDUSD students will continue to receive taped messages regarding the outbreaks. As of May 6, the three county schools that had closed last Friday, May 1 due to suspected swine flu had reopened.

great job and we’ve been playing together off and on since then. “ Having regularly led bands featuring Cuban musicians since 1991, Bunnett, 52, has encountered many hassles trying to obtain U.S. visas.

“We’ve been down some rocky roads — you’re sitting and waiting to find out who can get in the country,“ she said. “There are considerable costs having prepared the paperwork and then the visas get denied. It’s like flushing money down the toilet. I really hope those days are soon to be over.

“I understand that things have to be done slowly and thoughtfully, but I think it’s inevitable that things will change.”

She pointed to the Obama administration’s hope for dialogue as soon as certain conditions are met. ”Whether you’re a musician, a painter or a dancer, you need to go to other countries to see how your art stands up on the world forum,” Bunnett said. “It’s sad that they

can’t travel to the U.S., and vice versa, when there are such strong connections between the two countries. As a Canadian, I’ve been fortunate to access the music and come home inspired and channel that into something with my personal twist.”

Two weeks after Bunnett’s appearance, jazz vocalist Karrin Allyson comes to the Neurosciences Institute, making her Athenauem debut. She will highlight tunes from her new CD, “Imagina: Songs of Brasil,” a lovely collection of pieces by the great bossa nova pioneer Antonio Carlos Jobim and others.

The Athenaeum Jazz at The Neurosciences Institute series: Jane Bunnett & Spirits of Havana on Wednesday, May 13; and Karrin Allyson on Wednesday, May 27; both 8 p.m. The Neurosciences Institute is at 10640 John Jay Hopkins Drive.

COMMENTARY

Modern Mother’s Day not what founder had in mind

BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN

contempt. Simple good wishes took deleterious wing, landing on printed cards, inside candy boxes and at overhyped restaurants. Even the otherwise pious Wanamaker, who by now had spearheaded the big Wanamaker department store chain (and would eventually become U.S. postmaster general), eagerly profited from the sale of Mother’s Day goods, just as he would over the year’s other major holidays.

In 1923, Jarvis unsuccessfully sued New York Gov. Al Smith to stop a Mother’s Day fund-raiser; years later, she vigorously campaigned against the issuance of a Mother’s Day postage stamp and was arrested for disturbing the peace during a Mother’s Day flower sale. Even as the years brought surges in revenue, Jarvis’ anti-holiday rhetoric grew to fever pitch.

“A printed card,” Jarvis said, “means nothing except that you’re too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world. And candy! You take a box to mother and then eat most of it yourself. A pretty sentiment.”

Ironically, and unknown to Jarvis, the Florists Exchange — a major player in the Mother’s Day flower trade — picked up Jarvis’ nursing home tab. Blind, broke and childless, Jarvis died in 1948, rife with the discouragement she’d experienced amid the perceived ruination of her dream. Perhaps it’s just as well. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated in 40 countries, presumably with the same commercial zeal reflected in those billions of American dollars.

As for me, I think Anna overstated her case. Flowers, after all, are an indispensable part of the human experience and a stable ecosystem; their exchange is presumably a gesture of love and respect, which makes them an especially appropriate Mother’s Day tribute. And yes, you and I are as guilty as the next guy of dipping into that candy box — but c’mon. It’s the thought that counts, and it’s a cinch Mom offered you the goodies of which you eagerly help relieve her every second Sunday in May. But Jarvis’ distaste is also understandable. There’s a gluttony about such commercial success, and it doesn’t constrain itself to Mother’s Day, Christmas or any single day of the year. Jarvis learned this lesson the hard way — and she died amid the belief that she’d inadvertently placed a sacred trust in a nationful of the wrong hands.

he National Retail Federation says Americans spend more than $10 billion on Mother’s Day gifts and treats every year, adding that the outlook for 2009 (Sunday, May 10, to be exact) is about the same. That figure is dwarfed, to say the least, by the $210 billion we fork over during the winter holidays. Still, the “billion” is the daunting part — lay Mom’s bucks end to end, and they’d stretch about 40 times around the world, or to the moon and back.

And to the moon again.

That’s exactly the problem. To hear the day’s founder tell it, 14 cents spent in Ma’s honor is 14 cents too many. The late Anna Jarvis pretty much pooped her own party in later life, such was her disgust over the commercialization of the event.

“I wanted it to be a day of sentiment, not profit,” she once lamented, calling the profiteers “termites” and dedicating the last 30 of her 84 years to sabotaging the honor she helped create. Indeed, she and her sister Elsinore spent the family inheritance on their failed campaign — billions of dollars later, Mother’s Day is the third most profitable day of the year, trailing only the winter holidays and Valentine’s Day in total haul.

It all started innocently enough in 1907, two years after the death of Jarvis’ mother (also named Anna).

The younger woman, a native of Taylor County, W.Va., saw to it that her Mom’s last wish — the establishment of a day to honor all the nation’s mothers, living and dead, as the givers of life and comfort — was first marked at a modest church service, during which she passed out a white carnation to each of the 500 mothers in attendance.

On May 10, 1908, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Grafton, W.Va. held a service feting Grafton’s moms.

That year, influential Philadelphia businessman John Wanamaker joined Anna’s efforts in creating a national campaign. Soon after, a bill proposing the establishment of Mother’s Day made it as far as the U.S. Senate floor.

The legislators failed to pass the measure — but by 1909, 46 states informally observed Mother’s Day, and the bill’s reintroduction was only a matter of time. In 1914, on the heels of Anna’s furious campaign efforts, President Wilson signed a joint resolution marking a national observance every second Sunday in May (Anna’s mother died — Martin Jones Westlin is the edion that day in 1905).

The younger Jarvis’ patience and tor of San Diego Downtown News, a tenacity had been roundly reward- sister publication to the Village ed, but familiarity would soon breed News. ■

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gill a remarkable jurist, gentleman

Student attendance equals income

I was interested in your Opinion column in the April 2, 2009 edition concerning jury duty (Commentary, “Jury duty’s tough, but somebody’s gotta do it,” page 6). As someone who has been called numerous times, and who has served on juries in a variety of cases over a number of years I found your comments typical of those first called to jury service.

You mentioned anyone with a Social Security number being eligible to be called. This appears to be a new source for potential jurors. When I first served, I believe they used only the registered voter’s roll. Later they also used the list of those with driver’s licenses; I believe the case that brought that change originated in San Diego.

You also mentioned Superior Court Judge Charles Gill. Unless someone else in the family has been elevated to the bench, I believe you listened to Judge David Gill. I had the pleasure of serving with Judge Gill on the board of a local nonprofit organization, where he was an outstanding supporter. I’ve been told by other judges that when a case that may be especially complicated or controversial is pending he is often given the assignment to preside. He is a remarkable gentleman, and I’m sure his comments were encouraging to those encountering jury duty for the first time.

Here’s a little known fact: Every day a student attends school it produces income for that school. It’s that simple. In the SDUSD budget proposal there are very few options to increase income for the district schools. One of those items is to increase student attendance by .5 percent for next year equaling an income of $3 million! Every stakeholder in this budget process must make changes – so, instead of pulling your student out of class on Friday for that three day weekend in Mammoth, or making that doctor appointment in the morning instead of the afternoon you could be part of the income solution to the district’s budget woes.

Each student must be in their chair at the start of the day. If you absolutely have to take your student out of school for an appointment, make it after noon. If we all pull together and get the word out on how important this income is to the school sites then we as informed parents/guardians can earn the SDUSD their .5 percent — let’s go for 1 percent and earn $6 million to save important programs like music and the arts, sports and JROTC. Let’s do our part and expect the other stakeholders to do theirs.

Just say no The city of San Diego has a gap between city income and city expenses and Mayor Jerry Sanders and City Council started closing the gap by cutting expenses.

The state of California has a gap between state income and state expenses, and the solutions of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Legislature are tax increases, which they call reforms. They raised the sales tax, income tax and car tax and reduced the child credit by $200 per child and call that reform.

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association says the increases amount to $16 billion dollars in tax hikes. Now they are asking us to vote yes on Proposition 1A to extend the increases an additional two years. Should we say “no” to these tax-increasing politicians and try to elect some expense-cutting politicians to state offices at the next election?

Children’s book fest turns the page to fun

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

Top children’s authors will read and sign favorite children’s books and classics in the making on Saturday, May 9 at North University Community Library & Nobel Recreation Center. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Librarians learn which books children love, from toddlers to teens.

And the festival producers aimed to expand kids’ reading horizons, exposing them to a variety of quality reading. Writers such as DJ MacHale, author of the Pendragon series, will join Clementine series author and illustrator Marla Frazee, author Robin Preiss Glasser and National Book Award winner Sherman Alexie.

The festival, now in its second year, kicks off the San Diego Public Library Foundation’s summer reading program, which runs from June 15 through Aug. 15.

“Kids can go to their library and sign up for the program, and then if they read 10 books, they can win [prizes such as] free passes to SeaWorld, Padres tickets or free sundaes at Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza,” said Charlie Goldberg, marketing director for San Diego Public Library Foundation.

Barnes and Noble, Yellow Book Road and Warwick’s will offer books for sale after the event at their various booths.

“This is an event to promote literacy among children and teens, and to introduce readers to their favorite authors,” Goldberg said.

Starting at 10 a.m., festival producers will hold events on two stages. The Festival Stage will fea-

“This is to introduce kids to new authors and books. We want it to be a fun event,” Goldberg said. “North UC is one of our most active [branches] for these events.”

Last year, more than 5,000 people attended the festival and Goldberg said he expects more than 7,000 people this year.

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS

Those afraid of prize-winning Irish playwright Martin McDonagh (b. 1970) take heart and get you to the theater. A kinder, gentler and more overtly funny McDonagh is currently displayed in the form of “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” produced by Ion Theatre at the Lyceum Space through May 10.

At its former venue, Ion presented one of McDonagh’s darker works, “The Pillowman,” last season. Other McDonagh plays produced locally include “The Beauty Queen of Leenane” at San Diego Rep and “A Skull in Connemara” at the former 6th@Penn. The

playwright is also known for his film work, notably “In Bruges,” for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

The characters’ brutal honesty in “Inishmaan,” set in 1934 on a small island off the coast of Ireland, is tinged with darkness.

There is indeed one blackhearted character, but the honesty is what distinguishes this work and makes its characters so funny and delightful. For instance, there is mystery surrounding the family of Crippled Billy (Jason Connors), an orphan who’s been raised by his “aunties,” Kate (Dana Hooley) and Eileen (D’Ann Paton), who aren’t really his aunties. The town newsmonger, Johnny-

pateenmike (Walter Ritter), spreads gossip as well as news that tends to be inaccurate. He is hated by many, but is made welcome nonetheless and rewarded to boot. His theatrical and pompous recap of news items occurs several times during the play, adding much hilarity due to the aunties’ reactions. At home, Johnnypateenmike tries to hasten the death of his Mammy (Trina Kaplan) by giving her all the drink she wants, against the express orders of Doctor McSharry (Charlie Riendeau).

Crippled Billy adores a village lass, Helen (Morgan Trant), who in turn is courted by the widower Babbybobby (Rich Carillo), a seaman who provides the only transportation to the neighboring island, Inishmore, where a Hollywood film crew is just completing a documentary. Crippled Billy lies to gain passage along with Helen and her brother Bartley (Morgan Hollingsworth). He meets a producer who offers him a trip to Hollywood to make a screen test.

It just so happens they are looking for an Irish cripple.

Act II recounts what happens in both worlds, Hollywood and Inishmaan, as far apart culturally as they are geographically. The Irish being the Irish, we are presented numerous versions of the truth, and are totally grateful for the richness of an evening with these endearing characters.

Under producing artistic director Glenn Paris’ assured direction, all the actors do excellent work; he seems to have tempered their usual individual tendencies and

created a believable world. Most impressively, Carillo is a multidimensional character when he could have been all black villain.

The others are simply magnificent, creating their deepest portrayals yet, with one exception.

Young Morgan Hollingsworth has a way to go, but in such company and with work on improving his diction he may improve during the run of the show. Normal aging as well may work wonders with tongue and teeth.

The production design is remarkable, consisting of a turntable that revolves quickly to present the aunties’ dry goods store/living room, Johnnypateenmike’s home, the seashore and Hollywood. Executive artistic director Claudio Raygoza and Matt Scott designed the set; Raygoza, the lighting design/video;

Jennifer Brawn Gittings, the costumes; and Matt Lescault-Wood the sound. A word must be said for Anne-Charlotte Harvey’s dramaturgy and for Matt Curley’s “deck management,” whatever that is.

Not to be missed, this is a savory production, as good as a trip to the auld sod at a bargain price.

“The Cripple of Inishmaan” continues at 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, 4 and 8 p.m.

Saturdays, and 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays through May 10 at the Lyceum Space, San Diego Repertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, downtown. For tickets ($20-$24, with discounts for seniors, students and military) and information, visit www.iontheatre.com or www.sdrep.com or call (619) 5441000. ■

that color and the ladies went to town — any excuse to buy a pair.

The occasion for all this was the official opening of a new 47-bedroom Ronald McDonald House perched atop the six-story parking garage across from Rady Children’s Hospital. The new facility features anything a family with a hospitalized child could ask for: dining services, computer lab, playroom and play yard, laundry and shower facilities, and the view isn’t bad, either.

Although the name honors the famed burger chain fellow, in actuality they donate 20 percent of the funding for the upkeep of all the houses, so the rest is raised by charities. Food served buffet-style, music and entertainment completed the evening, and a good time was had by all.

SPORTS Zimmer brothers lead Vikings past Torreys

BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

With the CIF playoffs right around the corner, local scholastic baseball teams are looking to get on a hot streak in their final weeks of league action.

At La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School, the Torreys under head coach John Edman fell to La Jolla High 13-9 last Wednesday afternoon in a non-league contest.

Offensively, Derek Hatfield led the charge with three hits, including two doubles, while scoring twice and driving in two runs. Connor Gerhart hit two home runs and drove in three, while Sam Ayala added two hits and an RBI. LJCD bounced back on Friday in a return to Coastal League play with a 15-3 victory over Francis Parker.

Ben Cohn scattered six hits and two runs over five innings of work, and Jason Gilberg finished with two solid innings of his own.

“We played some of our best defense of the year, and had great at-bats all game long,” Edman commented.

Gerhart stayed hot, going 2-for-2

BRIEFS CONTINUED FROM Page 4

LJCD assistant coach Karen Elitzky noted.

Roya Bagheri and Veronica Lee (one goal each) led the LJCD offense with strong stick work, accurate passing and fierce determination off the draw and on

with two runs scored. Anthony Torres went 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, Gilberg added two hits and two RBIs and Ben Sweeney had a hit and scored three runs.

LJCD is now 2-2 in the league (415 overall) and is in a second-place tie with Bishop’s.

Elsewhere, La Jolla High improved its record last week to 12-8 (1-5 Western League).

The Vikings opened the week with a 9-3 loss to Point Loma, but then got three hits (two doubles, home run) from Kyle Zimmer and two hits and two RBIs from Bradley Zimmer in the win over La Jolla Country Day School. Patrick Christensen chipped in with a pair of hits for La Jolla.

La Jolla finished the week by defeating Canyon Crest Academy 12-2. Kyle Zimmer threw five innings, allowing only one run on two hits to earn his second win of the year. Robbie Beathard led the way offensively, collecting three hits, three RBIs, two runs and two stolen bases, while Dustin Ouellette had two hits and a pair of RBIs. “Our guys showed great resiliency by being able to bounce back

this week and get back on track,” La Jolla High head coach Gary Frank remarked. “Baseball can be a very humbling and frustrating game at times. It is very easy to get discouraged and give up when you are in a slump. I give our team a lot of credit for being able to pick themselves back up, dust themselves off and get back on the winning track. Hopefully we’ll be able to use this momentum as we finish the last six games of the regular season.”

University City High enters play this week with an overall record of 10-9 (4-3 Western League).

UC scored an 11-0 win over Mission Bay in action last Friday afternoon.

Jonas Noack picked up the win on the mound, while Jon Wright went 3-for-4 at the plate.

Finally, The Bishop’s School dropped a pair of games last week.

In a 3-2 loss to Canyon Crest Academy, Chris Ludwig and AJ Chedrick both had a pair of hits for the Knights.

In an 8-1 defeat to Horizon, Ludwig stroked a pair of hits for Bishop’s. ■

Lani Frankville and Liv Hipkins each added a tally of their own, both off of well-placed assists by Brianna Alexander from behind the net.

Elitzky also noted the play of Jodi Morris, Cristina Planas and Stephanie Rothenberg (18 saves in goal).

La Jolla High’s varsity boys,

meanwhile, won two games last week. Mike Soumekh had seven goals in the April 28 victory over Cathedral, while Taylor Bourgeoise had five, Leo Brueggerman had two and Matt O’Hara had one.

In the Vikings’ 9-5 win May 1 over Scripps Ranch, O’Hara and Bourgeoise each had three goals, Soumekh had two and Cazzi Morawski had one. ■

River Days celebrate discovery and history

Fiesta de Reyes rises in Old Town

BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | VILLAGE NEWS

The sixth annual San Diego River Days — two weekends of discovery and giving back to the San Diego River — are scheduled May 9 to 17, with the whole thing kicking off at the Dog Beach paw print at the end of Voltaire Street May 9 at 8 a.m. The Dog Beach cleanup follows at 9 a.m.; subsequent activities include a bike ride, a hike in a proposed wilderness area, a river garden open house and a look at the river’s future education center site.

What you can’t do is hope to discover the river’s significance throughout local history, at least not firsthand. After all, we’re talking a length of 52 miles, stretching from Santa Ysabel in east San Diego County to the El Capitan Reservoir to Lakeside, Santee and Mission Valley to Ocean Beach. The waterway’s less-than-pristine condition in some areas stems from decades of urban runoff and neglect, although myriad kayaking and fishing spots underscore its importance.

While the San Diego River Park Foundation eagerly cites the river’s vices and virtues, it’s quick to point out its proud place in the city’s past. Present-day downtown San Diego, in fact, depended largely on the river’s presence for its growth — in the mid-19th century, when Broadway was known as D Street, the river served as the main water source.

“One way to look at it,” explained foundation director Rob Hutsel, “is that it

was like a big delta. The river would come out of the mountains and through the valley and then spread out in a big, broad floodplain.”

Fifty-two miles of sediment would wash into San Diego Bay; once it got there, the contents then backed up into a separate body of water the Spanish settlers called False Bay — the name was meant as a warning to newly arrived parties not to enter it.

The Spanish, in fact, were creating settlements in present-day downtown since 1759 — and they chose that spot due to the availability of water from the San Diego River. By 1850, the year California attained statehood, area maritime trade was booming; soon after, Alonzo Horton saw fit to create a “New Town” city core.

“The folks wanted the seat of government to be downtown,” Hutsel said, “so they stole it from Old Town and took it down there.”

In time, pump stations would extract water for mechanical transport to the city core. The pumps were turned off in 1920, Hutsel said, “because the city was building reservoirs upstream and didn’t need to pump the water anymore.”

Logistically, things have stayed stable since then.

River Days may be a heckuva lot of fun, but it’s also a testament to a city that in no small part owes its regional stature to an indispensable waterway.

A girl plays with a huge beach ball during the May 3 Muirlands Rocks family fun-raiser. The highlight of the day was a three-legged race sponsored by student-run LJRadio, with an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most participants. Racers one-quarter of the way through (below) get ready to run 300 feet west after first running 300 feet east on a U-shaped course.

With 190 official pairs finishing (of 204 that started), the race unofficially broke the world record set by 80 pairs of Chinese lawyers.

San Diego’s colorful history will take center stage Saturday, May 9 as residents gather to celebrate the rebirth of Old Town’s engaging state historic park once known as Bazaar del Mundo and, most recently, its publicly unpopular operation as Plaza del Pasado.

Renamed Fiesta de Reyes — meaning “celebration of kings” — the sprawling tribute to early California history will be marked by grand opening festivities from 1 to 9 p.m. in the complex bounded by Juan and Calhoun streets.

Among the activities and sights will be roaming performers, stilt walkers, jugglers and musical entertainment by one of Old Town’s highly regarded mariachi groups, Los Rios, plus “Zirk Ubu’s Circus and Traveling Medicine Show,” a onering circus. The show begins at 7:30.

Old Town San Diego Historic State Park is known for capturing the ambiance of California’s first European settlement at the time California was evolving from a Mexican pueblo to an American frontier town.

“Old Town is important to San Diegans because, besides being the birthplace of California, it embodies culture and what it is that San Diego stands for as a whole,” said Chuck Ross, president of the Old Town Family Hospitality Corp. that will operate the facility. “We have been saying for some time that we wanted to create something new, something different. That is what we have done.”

Ross said the hub of the new complex will be Casa de Reyes, a courtyard restaurant that has been completely restored with a new carrizo arbor, an outdoor tortilla factory, mariachi stage and California hacienda décor.

No bump on a log but a log with bumps

Ten retractable tentacles around the mouth gather dead and decaying organic material, algae and tiny plankton. Each tentacle is inserted one by one into the sea cuke’s mouth and wiped clean of edible bits. Mmmm, tentacle-licking good.

Don’t mistake the warty sea cucumber (Parastichopus parvimensis) with the one we peel, slice and add to a mixed green salad.

The ocean variety is an animal named for its skin’s numerous black-tipped projections and cylindrical shape reminiscent of the familiar garden vegetable. Orangebrown to yellowish, a warty’s body is cushy, not crisp, and feels leathery due to its mass of muscle tissue. The cucumber is an echinoderm like sea stars and sea urchins but has several unique features

lacking in its cousins. For one, it’s got a soft body.

For another, the mouth and anus are located at separate ends of an elongated body. Speaking of the anus, it is also the only echinoderm with internal respiratory trees (lungs, if you wish), which are located just inside the anus. In other words, the warty breathes by drawing water in through the anus and then expelling it. The defining trait that identifies a

cucumber as an echinoderm is its five-part symmetry: five rows of tube feet extend from the mouth along the body as is easily seen in, for example, a five-armed sea star.

Feeding is a round-the-clock affair for the sea cucumber.

Mucus-covered tentacles, which surround the mouth, sweep across the surface; collected food bits are then transported into the mouth. A solitary critter, the warty is most abundant around cobbles, boulders and bedrock. I found a warty while tidepooling not long ago.

After watching for a bit, I was SEE BUMPS, Page B·3

Burgundy pours fun for Triangle chamber During April’s Business After Five Mixer of the Golden Triangle Chamber of Commerce, attendees were able to socialize and enjoy the cool weather on the outdoor patio of Burgundy Grill and Wine Bar in downtown La Jolla. Burgundy opened its doors to the GTCC’s April BAF and offered delectable appetizers, an exclusive wine list and specials to the chamber event attendees.

The agenda of the event included members and nonmembers of the chamber introducing themselves and their businesses, announcement of raffle prizewinners, and business enthusiasts coming together to strengthen their business networking ties within the La Jolla region business community.

The Golden Triangle Chamber hosts its BAF the second Wednesday of every month at various restaurants in the La Jolla area.

The BAF objective is to bring business owners and execs together to introduce new and old businesses and restaurants from our community to build a strong connection within our area.

Multiple flat screens that can be changed to any sports event or TV show upon request surround the venue.

The menu is California Coastal, with selections of seafood, wraps, burgers and salads that can be eaten outside around the fire pit on the lamp-heated patio or inside where the lounge hosts nightly entertainment.

At Prospect, GTCC will honor new chamber members and present them with their membership certificates. After the new member announcement, attendees will introduce themselves to the group, followed by a brief ceremony

including chamber goals and objectives for the remainder of 2009 and an announcement of future networking events.

Also, in anticipation of a new name for the Golden Triangle Chamber of Commerce, the chamber is in the process of creating a contest to encourage GTCC members and affiliates to express their feelings on a name change. The chamber is confident that a new name will clarify the regions this chamber covers and result in a stronger and more defined chamber.

T. Boone Pickens Jr. spoke to a sold-out crowd of members and guests at last month’s downtown San Diego Rotary meeting at the Sheraton Hotel. More than 500 people were in attendance, making Pickens one of the most popular speakers of the year. As well as boasting the largest membership in the state, Club 33 is the third largest Rotary organization in the world, so this was quite an exceptional meeting.

In his typical Oklahoma twang, Pickens explained the Pickens Plan, from its ideals to its conception on July 8, 2008, commencing with Pickens’ own $59 million infusion into the coffers.

While the general public associates Pickens with alternative energy, such as wind tunnels and solar energy, this is not the main focus or direction of his program. Rather he emphasizes natural gas, readily available in the United States, as his number-one solution to replace American dependence on crude oil, especially from the Middle East.

Pickens originally brought his idea to thenPresident George W. Bush, who listened but did not act on the suggestion.

plan, and we all look like fools without a plan,” Pickens said, sounding like Will Rogers.

During the presidential race last year, when the energy problem was one of the leading questions in the debates, Pickens approached both candidates.

Each supported his suggestions but neither was in a position to follow through until after the inauguration in January. Consequently, Pickens put in his own money to launch the petition.

His goal is to stimulate a “grassroots” movement such as those used successfully in the political arena.

At present, more than 1.5 million members have joined on the website, including 14 governors, 52

members of Congress and 185 city mayors. Pickens is now spreading the word in person using his own jet on a world tour.

A lifetime Republican, Pickens has successfully recruited environmentalist Democrats to his side in energy matters. He has received enthusiastic encouragement from such diverse groups as The Sierra Club, followers of Al Gore, both Democratic and Republican constituents and some “arm’s length” groups. Everyone is for this, he says, as everyone will benefit.

One of his most enthusiastic fans is his wife, Madeleine. Although maintaining her own interests in racing horses, she still enjoys the ranch life in Texas, where the couple lives. Last year she surprised her husband on his 80th birthday with a party at the Dallas Country Club that resembled a Hollywood nightspot, complete with celebrities who flew in from all over the world.

rewarded by clear evidence that it was breathing. Recall that it draws water through the rectum to its respiratory tree, then forcefully expels the water. The internal water blasted into the surrounding water resulted in what appeared to be a water bubble that traveled to the water’s surface. As I continued to watch, every minute or so a bubble or three burbled up.

When threatened, the warty can contract its muscles and shoot out water from its body to make it shorter, thicker and harder, forcing predators to confront a much stiffer body. Other situations trigger a different response. The warty cucumber may expel sticky, toxic filaments to ensnare or confuse predators. In more heightened situations, the warty may expel all its internal organs through its anus.

Such action isn’t life-ending because the cuke recovers by growing new innards. In fact, it can regenerate all parts of its body.

Each fall, prior to reproduction, the warty finds a secure place to hide while its guts (including the sex organs, circulating system and respiratory tree) waste away. Within a month, the withered parts are regenerated.

Spawning usually takes place in November.The sexes are separate, and fertilization takes place externally, meaning that eggs of a female and sperm of a male are blasted into the water where, fingers crossed, they hook up. Successful fertilization generates freeswimming larvae, which float around for a few weeks before settling on the seafloor. Those that make it this far may live five to 10 years.

Cucumbers don’t have personality plus charming expressions or engage in playful antics, so why should we care about their survival? They aren’t called the “earthworms of the sea” for nothing. Acting as seafloor janitors, they ingest large amounts of sand, absorbing any organic matter for nutrition before returning the “polished” sand back to the seafloor.

As such, they cultivate the seafloor in much the same way earthworms cultivate the soil. Sea cucumbers are also food to predators such as sea turtles, crustaceans and many fish, but humans are their greatest threat.

There is an immense demand for sea cucumbers in Asian markets.

Worldwide, many sea cucumber fisheries have collapsed from overharvesting. In areas where human activity has reduced the cuke population, the seafloor hardens, thus destroying the habitat for other bottom-dwelling creatures.

Overfishing of historically important species has led fishers to ply their trade down the food chain.

She has a crooked front paw that we x rayed and it is likely the result of an old fracture. It does not need medical treatment, and she gets along fine.

She has become a bit shy and somewhat fearful after her kittens were adopted and noone seems to be interested in her. She deserves a loving home, she has been a great momma cat and was happy with a family. She is altered, vaccinated, microchipped and we will send her x-rays and medical records with the adopter.

Please call SNAP volunteer at 760/815-0945
