knockout Boxer and artist to hold La Jolla event to boost Olympic dreams

The second is her demeanor. Poised, polite, feminine and fashion-conscious, it is not exactly what one expects from a female boxer with four wins and three knockouts under her belt.

Boxer, model and artist Danyelle Wolf, a self-described “lifelong athWolf hopes to make her mark on the boxing lete,” is an Olympic hopeful for the world by joining Team USA for the first-ever first-ever female Olympic boxing women’s Olympic boxing event in London in 2012.

Ronald Troyer was sentenced to nearly 17 years in prison on May 4 for driving his car while under the influence of marijuana and seriously injuring four people when he slammed into a La Jolla restaurant last year.

Troyer, 66, of La Jolla, received the maximum sentence of 16 years and eight months from San Diego Superior Court Judge William Kronberger, Jr., who also fined him more than $10,000.

The judge imposed three years, consecutively, for the four victims who suffered great bodily injuries on Aug. 13 when Troyer’s vehicle struck three teenagers on the sidewalk and crashed into the Cass Street Café, located at 5550 La Jolla Blvd. around 7 p.m.

Kronberger imposed four years for Troyer’s conviction of reckless driving while under the influence of marijuana, to run consecutively with the 12 years for the victims’ injuries. He then added eight months for Troyer’s hit-and-run conviction.

“I feel justice was done,” said crash victim Ian Brininstool, 15, who suffered broken bones. “I’m fine. I’m recovered. I’m doing well.”

Alani Aguerre, 14, suffered a broken pelvis and underwent at least three surgeries. She also had a broken arm and leg. She told reporters after the hearing that she had recovered, but “it will always be with me.” She said Troyer knew he was driving dangerously.

“What they went through, no one should have to go through,” said Lorne Polger, the father of teen victim Myles Polger. “Finally justice was served. What happened to the kids won’t happen to anyone else.”

Kronberger ordered Troyer to pay more than $6,000 in medical expenses to Brininstool and more than $11,000 to Aguerre. The other victims’ bills are still being tabulated and will be addressed in a June 23 restitution hearing.

Kronberger said Troyer had “a lifetime of bad decision making,” such as when he was convicted in 1963 of reckless driving when he was 19. Kronberger said Troyer was in possession of alcohol at that time, and accumulated six convictions SEE TROYER, Page 4

J.J. replica to be ‘un-whaled’ Event to take place May 15 at Birch

BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS In the late 1990s, J.J. the orphaned gray whale calf held the attention of concerned spectators nationwide as SeaWorld veterinarians nursed her back to health over the course of more than a year.

She gained strength and grew in size, and the nation watched as she was eventually released back into the ocean.

Now, La Jolla residents and visitors will get to enjoy J.J.’s story for years to come as a 15-foot bronze stat-

ue of the baby whale, set to be unveiled on May 15, will be preserved for posterity at Birch Aquarium playground. The event, “J.J. Day,” is open to the family and will feature wine, hors d’ oeuvres, raffle prizes and a live auction.

Festivities will take place from 6 to 9 p.m., and admission charges (suggested donations) of $10 for adults and $5 for kids will help support improvements to La Jolla Shores’ Kellogg Park.

La Jollan organizes bicycle rides to raise thousands for Israeli school ‘Bike for Israel’ at Ski Beach set for May 15

BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS For the past two years, La Jollan Rick Kornfeld, an avid cyclist, has been organizing bike rides in Israel to raise money for a rocket-resistant school in the San Diego Jewish community’s sister community, Sha’ar HaNegev, wherein violence has risen in recent years. Both in 2008 and 2009, about 20 San Diegans rode some 300 miles from the north of Israel down to Sha'ar HaNegev, raising nearly $100,000 for the school.

But last year, while celebrating Israeli Independence Day at the home of Aharale Rotshtein, the principal and executive director of the school in Sha'ar HaNegev, Kornfeld thought it would be a good idea to bring the “Bike Israel” experience to San Diego by inviting cyclists from Sha'ar HaNegev to San Diego for a series of rides, culminating in a group ride on Israeli Independence Day, Yom Ha’atzmaut, to be celebrated on May 15 at Ski Beach.

The event on May 15 consists of two rides, one short and one long, starting and ending at Ski Beach. Both rides will visit the historic Cabrillo National Monument, and will be led by guides who will make stops and explain the scenery and history.

Upon the cyclists’ return to Ski Beach, there will be Independence Day festivities, including music, dancing and food.

The rides start at 10 a.m., and a 1.5-mile “Walk for Israel” starts at 10 a.m.

Last year’s Israel Independence Day in San Diego took place at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, but this year’s event at Ski Beach is expected to be bigger, as organizers are partnering with more than 20 Jewish organizations.

“By moving the celebration to a bigger, more public site, we hope to engage a broader spectrum of the community in cultural experiences that will help connect them to Israel in positive ways,” said Jewish Federation President and CEO Steve Morris.

After this year's ride, eight people from Sha'ar HaNegev will have gotten to experience life in San Diego, as well as tell San Diegans about their experiSEE KORNFELD, Page 3 La Jollan Rick Kornfeld, CEO of a Smart Grid company called Grid2Home, is the mastermind behind “Bike for Israel,” a group ride celbrating Israeli Independence Day, Yom Ha’atzmaut, to take place on May 15 at Ski Beach.

“It's important that people here in San Diego understand a bit of what it is like for our friends in our sister community and become ambassadors back here at home,” said Kornfeld, who not only organized all three rides, but also led a campaign in San Diego to raise money for the school.

Outside of organizing these rides and leading fundraising efforts for the school in Sha'ar HaNegev, Kornfeld is involved in several nonprofits at the board level. He is on the board of the La Jolla Institute of Allergy and Immunology, was recently the founding chairman of a nonprofit incubator in San Diego and he’s on the dean's council of advisors for the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego.

Art and nature unite for annual event

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS On Sunday, May 15, enjoy spring wildflowers as they bloom on to the canvas at the second annual Art in the Pines fundraiser.

Presented by the Torrey Pines Natural Reserve Docent Society and the Torrey Pines Association, the festival is free and open to all and will be held at the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve just south of the historic Lodge at Torrey Pines.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., visitors will be offered a variety of events, including a professionally judged plein-air contest with an awards ceremony, artists’ booths exhibiting nature-inspired art for sale, food and live music, children’s nature and art activities, guided nature walks and expert artist demonstrations of several different media.

All proceeds from the event will go directly to help the children’s program at

BOXER

CONTINUED FROM Page 1 she had never considered boxing, but it also planted a seed. She decided it was a sport worth checking out.

After she began taking boxing classes and coaching herself at local gyms, more people started taking notice. One boxing promoter asked her to meet him at a gym to show him her skills.

“He asked me to throw a jab,” she said. “I didn’t even know what a jab was. But he showed me a few moves, and I just felt comfortable with them. It felt natural.”

One day, someone at a gym asked her if she would like to teach some of the classes she had been taking, and asked her how long she had been boxing.

“About three weeks,” she said.

Wolf continued to make progress and considered the possibility that she might have a future as a professional boxer, but it wasn’t until August 2009 that she actually had a tangible goal. It was then that the International Olympic Committee announced women’s boxing would be added to the roster of the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Previously, boxing had been the only summer sport in the Olympics without a female component.

“I always wanted to be in the Olympics, ever since I was a little girl,” Wolf said. “When I was in first grade, my teacher asked us what we wanted to do when we grew up. I said I wanted to be in the Olympics.”

Though some scoffed at the lofty

She eventually landed herself two respected San Diego coaches, Chris Lerma and his father, Manny. Training for about six hours every day, they have helped her develop the skill to accompany her natural strength.

against her in her efforts to secure more matches. Her name started spreading in the San Diego boxing circuit, and coaches wouldn’t even entertain the idea of letting their boxers fight her.

Wolf and her coaches started calling gyms in Los Angeles, where her name had not yet circulated. She finally scheduled a fight, and on May 5, won her fourth fight by flash knockout in the second round.

• Return home, meet with personal Mission Bay • Do some more art work to unwind training clients for private sessions Wolf’s motivation and commitment to reaching her goal were already in place.

What she was missing was experience.

Getting in the ring, however, proved to be harder than she had anticipated.

“I was lining up all these fights, and over the phone they would agree to fight me,” she said. “But when I would show up and they would see my arms and my build, they kept backing out.”

Wolf ’s reputation as a 6-foot powerhouse eventually started preceding her.

The three fights she had fought and won (two from knockouts) only worked

Part of Wolf ’s strategy is to appear as “girly” as possible. At her recent match, she introduced herself to her opponent in full makeup — with her arms covered. It’s not just a tactic, however. Wolf has a softer side that enjoys art and fashion. When she’s not training, she can usually be found creating art in some form, be it painting, sculpting, printmaking or lithography. She says it’s a form of meditation.

“I can’t just be a jock all the time,” she said. “I need art to bring substance to my life. I definitely have two sides, and

art balances me.”

Part of what makes it so difficult for women boxers to succeed, Wolf said, has to do with sheer numbers. Because there are so many fewer women boxers than men, women have to go to each other if they want to experience fighting. For Wolf, that means paying the travel expenses for herself and her coaches — not an easy task for someone who trains so much that she doesn’t have time for a fulltime job.

On May 21, Wolf will show her artwork at a fundraiser at Colosseum Fine Arts, 7946 Ivanhoe Ave. A portion of the proceeds from art sold will help fund travel to the four Olympic trial tournaments this year — the first of which takes place June 19 in Colorado Springs — hopefully putting her on Team USA. Wolf’s next fight is this weekend in Oxnard.

“When I met Danyelle, I saw this girl who was attractive, talented and had big dreams,” said Colosseum director Richard Sertucha. “She was doing it all on her own. When we opened this gallery, we wanted to impact people’s lives and do good things for the community, and this is one of those opportunities to help someone reach their goals.”

For Wolf, achieving her goals is a way to leave her mark on boxing.

“What I want to bring to the sport is that you don’t have to be a brute to be a boxer,” Wolf said. “You can be graceful and classy. I’m not fighting because I like to beat girls up, but because the sport intrigues me. I want to represent the U.S. the right way.”

His attorney had argued unsuccessfully to jurors that he suffered a seizure and was not under the influence of marijuana when he struck the teens and crashed into the restaurant.

“My major concern is for those that were hurt and that they heal so completely they don’t have to think about this again,” Troyer said to the judge.

When Troyer got out of his car at the crash, several witnesses testified he yelled “somebody stole my car” and tried to claim he wasn’t the driver. Witnesses said he attempted to leave the scene twice, but was detained.

The jury convicted Troyer of all charges on April 6 after several hours of deliberations. He received credit for 299 days already served in jail since the incident.

FOLDING AND FUNDRAISING

Large crowds are expected to turn out for this year’s installment of Beach to Brewery on May 14.

Beach to Brewery on tap May 14

BY LORALEE OLEJNIK | VILLAGE NEWS Karl Strauss Brewing Company (KSBC) is brewing up 22 beers to mark its 22 years readying to showcase them at the eighth annual Beach to Brewery Beer and Music Festival on May 14.

The event benefits the nonprofit Surfrider Foundation. Originally started as a way to highlight the Pacific Beach-based brewery and raise money and awareness for clean water issues, the event has evolved into a premier regional beer event.

“One of our company’s core values is to care for our community and our environment,” said Melody Daversa, the brewery’s marketing, events and public relations manager. “The Surfrider Foundation is a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves and beaches for all people through conservation, activism, research and education, and as a brewing company in Pacific Beach, we feel very connected to their mission.”

Since its inception, Beach to Brewery has raised more than $80,000 for the San Diego Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and its programs to promote clean water and conservation.

“Karl Strauss has been a big supporter of Surfrider over the years and we truly appreciate their financial donations and moral support,” said Bill Hickman, chapter coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation-San Diego. “Beyond Beach to Brewery, Karl Strauss embraces Surfrider’s mission and is a leader in the community. They encourage people to join our beach cleanups and other events along with recycling messaging on their products and website.”

Hickman said funds raised at Beach to Brewery go toward programs like “Rise Above Plastics” (to reduce single-use plastics), “Know Your H2O” (freshwater issues that effect the coast), “No BS” (No Border Sewage, efforts to clean up the Tijuana River Valley), as well as Surfrider’s beach cleanups and educational campaigns that take place regularly along San Diego’s coastline.

Beach to Brewery is held at KSBC’s main brewery in Pacific Beach and will feature a lineup of local musical talent throughout the day, including bands

Little Deadman, Cuckoo Chaos, Blackout Party and Stranger.

The beer, however, is the main attraction, with 22 brews slated to be on tap for the event. These include a 22nd anniversary Vanilla Imperial Stout, Lavender Hefeweizen and Conquistador Doppelbock to be served along with KSBC staples like Red Trolley Ale, Amber Lager and Woodie Gold.

KSBC was founded in the mid-1980’s by (then) new college graduates Chris Cramer and Matt Rattner in their apartment in Mission Beach. Enlisting the help of Cramer’s cousin, master brewer Karl Strauss, the two opened their first brewery location downtown in 1989. An instant success, KSBC launched the San Diego craft beer revolution, helping make San Diego a world-renounced beer destination.

KSBC has been growing ever since. In 2010 the company brewed about 34,000 barrels, distributed to more than 2,500 locations throughout Southern California and ran six brewery restaurants. It is also expanding its brewing facilities. With sales up 25 percent over last year, Karl Strauss is adding two new 240-barrel fermenters to keep up with demand and are aiming to reach record production this year.

“Great beer and music,” said Hickman of the May 14 event. “Beyond that, it's a lovely location and you get a warm, fuzzy feeling knowing you are supporting a great local non-profit,” said Hickman about the event.

Tickets for Beach to Brewery are $25 in advance and are available online at www.karlstrauss.com.

Tickets are $30 at the door. The event typically sells out, so pre-sale tickets are advised. With online purchase, attendees will have the option to add on a one-year membership to the Surfrider Foundation at a discounted rate of $15.

The event will be held at the Karl Strauss Main Brewery, 5985 Santa Fe St., from 2 to 7 p.m. Free shuttles will be available throughout the day starting at 1:45 p.m. from the Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library and Dusty Rhodes Park. Vehicle parking is limited, so traveling via shuttle or bicycle is recommended. Bikes are not allowed on the shuttles. For more information visit www.karlstrauss.com.

Students at Torrey Pines Elementary make cranes for Japan Torrey Pines Elementary students in the Wednesday UCSD afterschool program made origami cranes recently to raise money for the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. The crane project was in conjunction with the Students Rebuild “Paper Cranes for Japan,” which donated $2 for every completed crane.

Miki Kihara, a visiting scholar from Japan, described the devastation and the problems faced by survivors, including some of her relatives. Six-year-old Adrian (referring to the tsunami) asked Miki, “Was your family hurt by the … the salami?”

Fourth-grader Luis wanted to make 2,000 cranes. Together, the children and their UCSD buddies folded 106 paper cranes, raising $212.

The Torrey Pines-UCSD program provides enrichment activities and tutoring assistance for children who are bused to the school from

low-income communities under San Diego Unified School District’s Voluntary Ethnic Enrollment Program (VEEP). Funded by the state of California, the Torrey Pines-UCSD afterschool program creates pathways to higher education for children whose parents do not have a college education. UCSD students participating in the joint Torrey Pines program are fulfilling a service-learning requirement for graduation.

GUEST COMMENTARY

A need for bees

BY CHRISTINE GATTO

“If honey bees become extinct, human society will follow in four years.” — Albert Einstein On Friday, April 22, around 3 p.m., I was saddened to see that an entire colony of honey bees was about to be exterminated. The colony was temporarily residing on a sign pointing to underground parking on Fay Avenue in La Jolla. According to an exterminator from Lloyd Pest Control, his company was called to exterminate the bees by an employee of Merrill Lynch, an occupant of the building.

Knowing that honey bee populations have been declining, this was very upsetting to me. I had asked the exterminator if he could relocate the bees instead and he stated that his company didn’t do that. The exterminator expressed that he was not happy with his task this day either but lamented that he had no choice, it was his job.

The bees that were to be killed were likely looking for a new home. Bees swarm seasonally; it is a chance for the population to grow. Although caution and maintaining distance are good ideas, swarming bees are said to be generally unlikely to sting since they aren’t protecting a hive.

We need bees. Bees pollinate and fertilize plants — and some sources say they are responsible for up to one third of the food we eat. Unfortunately, they have been dying off in vast numbers for many years, in many countries and no one is certain why. The phenomenon is being called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).

Perhaps unknown to readers and the person on Fay Avenue who called for the extermination — unwanted bees can be relocated rather than exterminated. There are several services that will remove hives and their live bees when possible.

For example: Pro Pacific at (619) 229-2023 relocates many and has same-day service (not open Sundays). The San Diego Bee Removal Guys at (619) 201-4410 also have same-day service and they will come out on a Sunday. For the latter, you may get an answering service when you call, but they say they’ll respond within five to 10 minutes.

It is tragic that entire colonies are wiped out when there are people who would like to relocate and/or keep the bees. We need to protect and save the bees we have left. Our own future depends on it.

I just thought I would send you a note that I, too, can relate to your comments. I am a divorced single mom, 48, working to provide for my two daughters. I keep busy in many of the same ways you mentioned. I have tried Internet dating to find a life witness who might actually like to grow old with me. I came to the Dr. Laura conclusion that I should just finish raising the kids alone but happy. My suggestion to the masses is to rediscover who they have evolved into and embrace the singleness with the mindset that you have been given a gift of recreating the new and healed/improved you.

I have different friends in church and have moved on to discovering whether I love chocolate ice cream or was it just because my ex-husband liked it. And understand, by the time you get to my age there are a lot of people who are hurt and lonely. Not a good combination!

I hope this brings the point to the conclusion that we all, no matter what age, get lonely and miss having someone, a person besides my dog, to come home to when the kids are gone. We are not done ‘til the big guy, not the fat girl, says so!

Stay encouraged. You would be surprised how many people do care about you and how many lives you still have to touch. Don't let yourself be the best kept secret.

Imper states, "99.9 percent of the beaches." If Imper and other outof-state visitors checked maps of the California coastline, the seals are the ones who have access to all those beaches. There are other reasons why they are coming ashore in various places along the California coast, even hauling up onto piers in other locations, that should be investigated.

As one of the La Jolla natives who was taught to swim at the Children's Pool well over 50 years ago and whose family members spent many hours at Casa Beach, I happily accept the threat that Imper makes of refusing to visit La Jolla and "spend money at your hotels and restaurants." Perhaps she could also help us convince the seal activists and eco-terrorists to abandon us as well, so our beautiful coastline would no longer be littered with tables and flyers and hawkers proselytizing and begging for dollars.

Imper and the rest of the tourists: I respectfully suggest that you and the other visitors you refer to think seriously before telling us La Jollans what to do. How would you feel if hundreds of thousands of visitors came to your town or city and began dictating how you should run things? How would you like that?

Another note for Natasha I always enjoy reading your columns. Your April 28 column, “A life’s witness,” was a good one for me. I was married for 45 years but pancreatic cancer put an end to our happy idyll. Getting used to being single takes time. I still feel married.

It’s just that my husband isn’t here at the moment. At first, it was as if he was on a business trip and would return. Even though he is physically gone, I feel his presence. Thanks for witnessing to your readers, commenting on what a curious transformational time widowhood is.

Visitor letter moratorium In response to Rachel S. Imper's letter "Casa Beach Moratorium” (April 28, Page 6), I can no longer tolerate letters from out-of-state visitors who choose to dictate how La Jollans should deal with Casa Beach and the Children's Pool. As a native La Jollan born in the old hospital on Prospect Street whose family first came here in the 1930s and worked in the fabled Green Dragon Colony and the old hospital, I would respectfully suggest that visitors enjoy the surroundings and keep their opinions to themselves.

La Jolla's Children's Pool/Casa Beach has only recently (the last 15 years) experienced an influx of pinnipeds. Some say the seals don't have much beach to haul up onto, but humans have access to, as

harassing and driving off the people. They meet each week to yell at and intimidate people outside the rope. They put up a sign on the beach that says “Beach Closed.”

They do this intentionally to disturb the beachgoers and incite other people to join in.

People are flushed out of the water and not allowed to swim, work on their tans and warm themselves after a swim. Mothers are not able to nurse their children.

This harassing behavior jeopardizes the very survival of the beach.

It is illegal to “harass” the people — a term defined in California State law as “any act of pursuit, torment or annoyance which has the potential to disturb a person or persons.”

Laws like the CCC (California Civil Codes) and the city ordinance against disturbing people are not enforced.

On a recent Sunday, six policemen in full uniform did nothing while people were harassed for hours. The City Council needs to ensure the “Shared Use Beach Policy” to preserve Children’s Pool Beach and protect this wonderful man-made resource for all to enjoy.

The time to take action is NOW!!

Deal me in, La Jolla Local entrepreneur localizes daily deal trend

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS

‘Rey’ of

sunshine Bartender has been serving patrons of Whaling Bar for more than 50 years

BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS Rey Arcibal remembers the day in 1960 when he came into the La Valencia Hotel looking for a job like it was yesterday.

It was March 15, a Saturday, and the Whaling Bar and Grill was “busy like crazy,” he recalled. The maitre d’ was standing by the door when he came in off Prospect Street and the general manager, sitting at the end of the bar, asked what he wanted.

“I asked him for a job and he said, ‘Can you clear plates from tables?’ and I said, ‘Yes, I can do it,” Arcibal recounted. “He looked at me and told his guy, ‘Hire him. Give him an apron.’”

He went from cleaning tables to serving tables to bartending, and he said the gratuities earned him more than his previous job as a steward in the Navy. So he stuck with it. And more than 50 years later, Arcibal is still happily serving guests of the Whaling Bar. REY ARCIBAL He said the highlight of Bartender, La Valencia Hotel’s the job is the countless fond Whaling Bar and Grill memories he has carried with him over the years.

He remembers when a drink was 85 cents including tax, and a premium steak was $2.50. He remembers the 1960s as being a time of progress for La Jolla, attracting businesspeople and artists — many of whom stayed at La Valencia or spent their time at the Whaling Bar. “This was definitely the most happening place in La Jolla,” said Arcibal. “The bar was always loaded with professional people.

Lawyers, judges. I met all the stars of the La Jolla Playhouse. Each morning, they would be lined up drinking coffee and reading the paper. At night, wives would be calling looking for their husbands and they were here. This place was jumping all the time.”

Arcibal can’t even begin to count the number of famous regulars he has served over the years. Ted “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, actor Jack Lemmon, radio broadcaster Walter Winchell. He still remembers where they sat, what they drank, things they said to him. A few of his loyal customers, including actors Charles Coburn and Pat Morita (The “Karate Kid”), called him “Dr. Rey.” “They’d say, ‘Hey, Dr. Rey,’” said Arcibal with a laugh, leaning over the mahogany bar. “And I’d say, ‘What can I get for you, sir.’”

Since Arcibal’s early days at La Valencia, other businesses have popped up on Prospect Street, but the Whaling Bar is still a happening place for those looking to sit in a quiet leather booth and have a steak or beverage in antique, low-lit ambience. Once the prime after-work hangout of patrons in slacks and skirts, Arcibal said he now sees many day customers enjoy the Whaling Bar in their tank tops and flip-flops, a sight he never saw in the mid-century years.

The bar still sticks to a “no tank tops after 5 p.m.” dress code, but he welcomes casual customers during the day, he said.

Arcibal said he has confronted challenges in his years at La Valencia, but what makes him excel is that he always keeps his composure.

“I don’t argue with anybody,” he said. “That’s why I’ve stayed here so long. I always say ‘No worries. It’s OK.’” He said it has been hard to see regulars pass away over the years.

Many patrons from the 1960s and 1970s passed away in the 1980s, he said, but he still sees a familiar face every once in a while.

“Sometimes they come in and say ‘Rey, you’re still here?’” said Arcibal, himself in his late seventies.

“I say, ‘Yes, I’m hanging in there.’”

“I don’t argue with anybody. That’s why I’ve stayed here so long.

I always say, ‘No worries.

It’s OK.’”

Bargaining has been around as long as humans have been trading goods for other goods. Coupons, deals and discounts have taken on many forms, from cutouts in the Sunday paper to customer loyalty cards, and like anything else, continue to evolve as consumerism catches up with the technology age. The latest incarnation — one that is catching on big time — is the daily deal Web site.

Sites like Groupon and Living Social bring customers in to businesses by offering a limited-time discount, usually to the tune of about 50 percent the normal price. A win-win for both consumer and business, it doesn’t seem likely this trend will be on its way out any time soon. And now, one La Jollan has found a way to get in on the action — and get a leg up on the competition.

Troy Foss, an entrepreneur with a background advising Internet startup companies, has been keeping an eye on the daily deal phenomenon for more than a year. He said he was impressed by the concept, but wondered if there were a way to make it even better.

“I was watching this incredible industry grow really fast, and wondering how it would continue to grow and support itself,” he said. “In my opinion, it will have to merge into a more communitybased, hyper-local model.”

With that in mind, Foss took the daily

Troy Foss, pictured with his wife and son, founded Deal Me In Today, a local daily deal website that will offer deals to businesses located only in La Jolla and tap into the community’s charitable side, with a percentage of profits going to local schools. Courtesy photo

deal model and decided to apply it as close to home as possible: in his own community. Deal Me In Today, Foss’ new venture set to launch sometime around May 18, will offer deals exclusively for businesses in La Jolla. While other sites offer deals for businesses all over the city, Foss said that was the main problem he could see with the business model.

“I’m not really interested in driving all over San Diego to get my 50 percent off,” he said. “If the whole goal is to gen-

erate repeat customers but people aren’t coming back after the deal is over because they don’t live in the area, that’s a problem. Ideally, we’d like to create a long-term client for these businesses. And the consumer wins because they’re getting deals relevant to them that are all taking place in their community.”

In Foss’ model, consumers sign up for the service, and are then offered a new deal every day. Hoping to gain even more leverage on the competition, Foss added SEE DEAL, Page 10

LJHS looks to get back on top

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS La Jolla High School senior and captain of the boy’s tennis team Michael Rabinovich is hoping to end his team’s two year drought as CIF champions.

“All the seniors want to have a last hurrah, start strong and end strong,” Rabinovich said.

Vikings tennis has been nothing short of dominant over the past seven decades in which the team has won CIF a state-record 42 times since 1955. LJHS won CIF every year from 1970-1984 and again more recently from 1999-2006. It’s no wonder La Jolla High players and alums are so eager to La Jolla High senior Shawheen Khodapanah crouches down while he waits for his doubles partner to serve.

LEE CORNELL | Village News

win back a trophy the team last held in 2008.

“The number one thing that’s going to stand between CIF and us is ourselves,” LJHS head coach Matt Previdi said. “We have a lot more depth than other teams out there.”

The Vikings have gone down in the semifinals in each of the last two seasons, including last year when they were the top seed in the tournament. They’ve claimed the top seed for DIII once again in 2011.

“The biggest issue is going to be complacency,” Previdi said. “If we go into these matches like we did last year, thinking we’d already won, then we’re dead in the water.”

As a junior, William Giammona is hoping to add his name to the long list of champions at LJHS. “We need to keep focused. Matt Previdi, our coach, has been really keeping us on track,” Giammona said. “He’s been making sure we haven’t been goofing off or anything.

We’ve been training really hard.”

The Vikings are scheduled to play a home match in the semifinals at La Jolla High School on May 12. If they win, they will move on to the DIII championship match, which will be played at the Barnes Tennis Center in Point Loma at 2 p.m. on May 13.

“I’ve been working extra hard to win CIF this year,” senior doubles player Quincy Briscoe said. “We won’t be happy with anything less than a CIF championship.”

Torreys baffle

Bishop’s

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Country Day baseball team defeated Bishop’s 6-1 at home on May 4.

Sophomore pitcher Tommy Edman tossed a complete game victory for the Torreys, who improved to 18-6 on the season with the win. Edman scattered six hits over seven innings of work and struck out seven while giving up just one walk.

“I was able to throw a lot of strikes today, get ahead in the counts,” Edman said. “Offspeed away and fastballs in, that’s how I got my smiles today.”

Senior second baseman Austin Rooke provided the bulk of the LJCD offense, contributing two doubles and two RBI that afternoon.

“My approach was to stay relaxed, nice and easy, and look what happened: two doubles,” Rooke said.

The Torreys struck first in the bottom of the opening frame.

Edman singled and scored on Rooke’s double for the game’s initial run. Senior shortstop Anthony Torres’ infield single drove in Rooke to make it 2-0 after one inning.

The Knights cut the lead to 21 in the top of the second but the Torreys kept their bats hot into the bottom half of the inning. After Frankie Brown singled, Ruben Pena moved the speedy centerfield over to second base with a well executed sacrifice bunt. Ian Lutz brought Brown home with an RBI single to make it 3-1. Some defen-

sive miscues by Bishop’s led to two more runs and suddenly LJCD had a commanding 5-1 lead after two innings.

Both starting pitchers settled in after the second. The final run came in the bottom of the sixth when Rooke knocked in Edman from first base with a RBI double to right center field.

“I think this is definitely one of the best teams we’ve had,” said Edman of this year’s LJCD squad. “The hope is to win CIF and I think we have a really good shot at that.”

Torres, who plays catcher when Edman isn’t pitching, had an outstanding day defensively at short. Nikki Stougaard led the Knights offensively with two hits while Kyle Gantz contributed a base hit and a steal.

You At Your Best!

By Dr. Tess Mauricio, Nothing is hotter on a woman or a man than beautiful lips – not the kind that look weird and "ducky" as some Hollywood stars are sporting of late. No, we're talking a smooth pout with natural, youthful-looking volume that's oh so kissable. Here's a few insights on how

both sexes can achieve voluptuous lips with topical plumpers and cosmetic fillers.

When administered artfully and skillfully, fillers will provide a perfect pout that blends in with your face and just enhances your overall beauty – it should not drastically change the way you look.

Optimally, no one will be able to really tell you had your lips done, but be prepared for remarks like "you look good" or "you look younger." Great lips have a wonderfully rejuvenating effect on your appearance.

Today, there's an amazing variety of topical lip plumpers on the market. All such topical products are mild irritants causing that have the effect of a controlled, mild allergy in the lips (so your lips swell a little for a short period of time). Results from these products are subtle at best and obviously temporary.

But, a good option for those concerned about making a longer term enhancement.

For those who want more significant results that will last 6-9 months (or longer if you are one of those lucky ones) injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvederm is the way to go. Also, if you have those pesky "smoker’s lines" or more advance wrinkling of the lips, forget the topical lip plumpers - the injectable fillers can dramatically and instantly make you love your lips again!

Plan ahead! Those opting for the injectable lip plumping solutions shouldn't wait until the last minute since mild bruising or swelling may occur for a few days after treatment. But, rest assured the fillers are perfectly safe and effective... and can be administered in just 10 minutes, even on your lunch hour!

DEAL

CONTINUED FROM Page 7 another unique twist to Deal Me In Today: charity. Not only will consumers get a deal on a local product or service, they’ll also be benefiting local schools with their dollars. Foss set up a partnership between area schools and participating businesses so that a percentage of each purchase made goes back to the school.

Eventually, he hopes to include other nonprofit organizations for their share of the local purchasing power.

Foss hasn’t done it all alone.

When he conceived the idea, he took it to La Jollans Michael and Deborah Arnau. The Arnaus, they said, didn’t need much convincing to jump on board as investors.

“I loved the idea of a hyper-local company featuring places I go to and merchants I’m familiar with,” said Deborah Arnau, who has a background in fundraising and education. “I also love tying the profits into local schools, and with all the budget concerns recently, it provides the perfect opportunity to generate some much-needed funds for the schools.”

Eventually, Foss hopes to expand and create localized daily deal sites for other communities as well. For now, he hopes to see Deal Me In Today take off and benefit La Jolla.

“The most important thing is that we’re connecting with both the community and the schools,” he said. “We have local business owners and salespeople that are familiar with the community, a Web site that looks and feels local, and business write-ups from local voices. It’s really coming from one La Jollan to another.”

Sea urchins have teeth with superpowers

This worm is one of two new species the public has an opportunity to name.

BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD VILLAGE NEWS

When I hear the words “sea urchin,” spines come to mind, but that's from personal experience (and a few remnants still embedded in my knee from 20 years ago). It's time to move on from those previous run-ins and spotlight urchin teeth, which are also worth screaming about. Sea urchins not only use their teeth to scrape algae off rocks but they actually bore into rock, carving out nooks for sanctuary from predators and water forces. Physically, the mouth is centrally located in spherically shaped urchins, where it is surrounded by lips of softer tissue to which (typically) five bony plates less than an inch long are embedded.

The hard pieces, made of calcium carbonate, are the teeth.

It's well known that despite literally chewing rock, urchin teeth never wear down to nubs or become dull. Grinding rock is pretty impressive, but to do so and maintain sharp teeth is an even cooler party trick. Yet, the “Ripley's Believe-It-or-Not!” moment

A white sea urchin (Lytechinus anamesus) bares its five platelike teeth. ©2011 Judith Lea Garfield

is knowing that both rock and urchin teeth are composed of an identical form of calcium carbonate known as calcite.

Common sense tells us that to successfully slice or bore into something, it is prudent to choose a tool that's harder than the material on which you want to work. For sea urchins to do what they do, somehow their teeth must be stronger than rock. But how? It has been

recently revealed that the tooth's calcite structure is uniquely designed in ways that make it stronger than rock.

As water can take on different properties like ice, liquid, and steam, other compounds as well can share the same composition but have a different execution.

Urchin teeth are made of two kinds of calcite crystals, fibers and curved plates, which are arranged crosswise to each other like a

mosaic and cemented together by tiny particles also made of calcite.

Between the crystals are shallow layers of a weaker organic material (a fraction the thickness of a human hair), and it is here where breakage occurs. When subjected to stress, urchin teeth don't break off in chunks like with mammal teeth and, well, most things that break.

Scientists think the weak layers aren't a genetic mistake but have evolved to let parts of the tooth pull away, not unlike perforated paper where you “tear on the dotted line.” By regularly shedding tads of a worn tooth at its weak links, the central part of the tooth, called “the stone” because it is the strongest and sharpest part, is always exposed.

Hmm. What a novel idea — synthesizing material with inherent fault lines so damaged teeth parts fall away to expose the razor-sharp pearly white layer underneath.

Taking advantage of its 200million-year history, sea urchins have evolved the ideal self-sharpening mechanism. Meanwhile, I've been operating with dull kitchen knives for years instead of enjoying tools that sharpen themselves with use. Why not copycat the urchin and make fractureresistant, dull-resistant materials for me, and others of course?

In theory, this could happen, and scientists are enthusiastic that discovering the self-sharpening principle may lead to new technology. But first, researchers must decipher the exact composition of the weak layers and determine the individual functions of the calcite plates and fibers.

While I wait for scientists to puzzle together these unknowns, the mystery of urchin teeth has led me to a discovery of my own: On rare occasions, it's a good thing when style (plates and fibers) trumps substance (calcite).

— Judith Lea Garfield, biologist and underwater photographer, has authored two natural history books about the underwater park off La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Shores. She can be reached at jgarfield@ucsd.edu.

Scientists ask input on discovery of species Birch Aquarium at Scripps and researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego are celebrating World Ocean Day by asking the public to help them name two new species of deep-sea worms. One name will be selected from the public at large and another will be chosen from a K-12 school.

Suggestions can be submitted before May 25 on Birch Aquarium's website, www.aquarium.ucsd.edu, or at the aquarium during its monthly “SEA Days” event on May 21. Scientists from the Scripps Marine Invertebrate Phylogenetics Lab, which identified the new species, will select three finalists for each worm.

Beginning May 30, the members of the public can vote for their favorite names online or at the aquarium during a pre-World Ocean Day celebration on June 4. The chosen names will become the official scientific name of the species and be revealed online and at the aquarium on June 8.

Scripps scientists, in association with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, discovered the worms living upon whale carcasses that had fallen to the ocean floor off Monterey, Calif. These "whale falls" spawn unique communities of marine animals that can feed off the carcass for decades.

The worms, which measure only a few centimeters in length, are part of the family Hesionidae. Only 10 hesionids have been described from the deep sea, and only one has been described from a whale fall. In total, Scripps scientists discovered six new species of worms on whale falls.

Traditionally, the person who first describes a newfound plant or animal is entitled to name it, but Scripps is inviting the public to share in the process.

Naming a species is the exciting culmination of years of work and collaboration, and specific guidelines exist for how to name a new species.

According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a species must be given a Latin binomial — a name consisting of two parts (a genus term and a species term) — and a researcher must publish an official description of the species in scientific literature. The public is being asked to follow these naming guidelines, as well as provide a description of how voters came up with their suggestion, which will be included in the published paper.

Scientists can use geographic, descriptive, commemorative or even nonsense words to form a new species name. Names do not need to be direct Latin translations. For example, a species of fly from Humbug Creek, Calif. was named Apolysis humbugi. A scientist who loved "Star Wars" named a species of wasp Polemistus chewbacca.

"We are thrilled to involve the public in the exciting process that scientists follow when naming a new species," said Nigella Hillgarth, aquarium executive director. "We feel this opportunity is especially fitting for World Ocean Day, which celebrates diversity in the oceans."

First envisioned in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, World Ocean Day (June 8) is an annual opportunity to honor our ocean and personal connection to the sea.

Starry, starry nights A ‘must-see’ season

second chances

and an epicurean experience

with Vincent Andrunas Theater people always seem to throw the best parties. Entertainers by trade, they know what it takes to show folks a good time. The La Jolla Playhouse proved that again on May 4, when the theater invited supporters and sponsors to a kickoff celebration announcing its 2011-12 season.

Anyone expecting a dull, dry listing of upcoming offerings would have been very pleasantly surprised. The outdoor gathering featured excellent wines and tasty foods

prepared by Jai, the Wolfgang Puck restaurant located right on the Playhouse campus. (In case you were wondering, it’s pronounced like the letter “J”.) But besides the great refreshments, Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley and managing director Michael Rosenberg put on a show worthy of the stage. With a little scripting, somewhat more ad-libbing, and plenty of humor, they succeeded in making all six upcoming productions “must-sees,” and the evening itself great fun. Watch for their play announcements — you won’t want to miss this new crop of shows.

Success: Police Chief William Lansdowne, Murray Galinson, Michelle and Scott Silverman (he’s Second Chance President and Founder), Marsi Gardiner

Scott Silverman founded Second Chance to create opportunities for self-sufficiency for those who’ve experienced difficulties their first time around in life. Since 1993, the organization has provided job readiness training, employment placement, affordable housing and life skills coaching for thousands who confront severe barriers to employment. Clients include former substance abusers, ex-offenders, homeless veterans, and at-risk youth.

Many community leaders are highly supportive of Second Chance, with good reason, and were among the guests at Second Chance’s “Art of Success” fundraiser held last Thursday at the Success: Roberto Vargas, Diane Museum of Contemporary Art in La Barragan, Paul and Marge Palmer, Jolla. Three of the most prominent figSheriff Bill Gore ures, all involved in law enforcement (and all Second Chance board members), each donated packages for the event’s live auction.

He announced that earlier, he’d had to arrest some of his officers, deal with the press, and suffer having his budget cut dramatically.

“So,” he said dryly, “you’re the highlight of my day.” His item raised $2,500.

Next, Sheriff Bill Gore promised lunch and a grand tour of the Sheriff’s Department, including an “insider’s” tour of the sobriety test for Lansdowne?” Her canCentral Jail.

nutritious food, a basic necessity of life.

The volunteer-driven nonprofit organization prepares and delivers food to men, women, and children affected by AIDS or cancer. To help support such efforts, annual fundraising events have been held since 1991, when Jeanne Jones and Jim Bowers chaired “An Evening at the Bistro” with a handful of local chefs. On May 6, the 20th anniversary “Mama’s Day” event, “A Mosaic of Taste,” brought chefs from 55 of San Diego’s best restaurants together at the Hyatt Aventine. It was an evening people have learned to look forward to — and to skip lunch for, the better to enjoy the incredible variety of taste treats for which this event is known.

It all began with a proclamation honoring the event, presented by Mayor Jerry Sanders to MK executive director Alberto Cortes and event chairman Larry Rinehart. Close by were tables laden with irresistible culinary creations by those aforementioned chefs, including Japengo’s braised short ribs on flatbread, The Red Door’s lamb meatballs, and Oceanaire’s rich bisque, to mention just a few of the best. Members of the San Diego Culinary Institute enthusiastically whipped up several complicated and delicious offerings, and Sam Zien, TV’s “Sam the Cooking Guy,” was the evening’s culinary host. Restraint was essential — nobody could partake of all the available dishes, and it was worthwhile to save space for some of the decadent desserts.
