Lightner and Thalheimer will debate at UC High BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Sherri Lightner and Phil Thalheimer began battling for the San Diego City Council District 1 seat June 3 during the primary election. The two will debate Oct. 15 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at University City High School during their first open forum moderated by the League of Women’s Voters. “I’ll attend and am looking forward to it,” said Thalheimer, president and co-founder of San Diego Flight Training International (SDFTI). Lightner and Thalheimer ran against Marshall Merrifield June 3: the two highest vote getters, Lightner and Thalheimer will face off in the Nov. 4 election. The winner will fill the seat left by termed-out San Diego City Council President Scott Peters.
Both candidates addressed some issues they said were currently plaguing the area. Community leader Lightner pointed to her history with La Jolla’s community groups as she focused on an issue that ran through the La Jolla Community Planning Association and Bird Rock Community Council: Bird Rock Station, a project opponents said will SEE DEBATE, Page 6

Vikings polo team gets a close shave BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
The success of a sports program is not always defined by wins and losses. Although the La Jolla High boys water polo program has been a winner in the pool, they’ve recently shown that they’re even more than that. When the team learned that head coach Tom Atwell’s wife Utahna had breast cancer, they decided to do something about it. Utahna was losing so much hair one weekend that she decided to shave it off and go bald. To show support for her, Tom shaved his hair. But that is not where the story ends. The members of the team decided to show their support for the couple by shaving their heads, and presented Coach Atwell with a box of their shorn hair as they removed their beanies to reveal their newly shaved heads.
“It really showed me what an incredible group of guys this is,” Tom Atwell said. “To have 14 teenage boys put vanity aside and do something like that is a true testament to the depth of character each of these team members has. I don’t think I
have ever witnessed such a selfless act. These boys have shown me that what I do here as a coach goes way beyond any winloss record. “The boys will always have a SEE SHAVE, Page 4

Sailplane pilots apprehensive about university’s construction BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Pilots began flying along La Jolla’s cliffs in the early 20th century after discovering nearby air currents were particularly suited for unpowered aircraft called gliders. Charles Lindbergh created a phenomenon — and the now-historic Torrey Pines Gliderport — when he piloted a sailplane from Mount Soledad to Del Mar using Torrey Pines air currents, called a ridge lift, in the mid 1930s. David Jebb currently owns and directs flights at the historic gliderport, located on the cliffs at Torrey Pines, butted up against the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). But Jebb said he joins a handful of pilots concerned for the airport’s future with several UCSD construction projects encroaching on the site. “We’re trying to work with two buildings that could affect our airspace,” Jebb said. “Pilots are willing to look for compromise … but we want to see how we can work this thing out, and that this historic facility isn’t slowly shut down through development.” Pilots said they fear encroachment from two future buildings, including the university’s stem cell project, called the San Diego Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SDCRM), and an additional housing project. Jebb said he’s concerned that pilots will have to alter their approach and flight patterns, endangering the gliderport’s fate. “There’s not one pilot against stem cell research or building a facility. It’s good for the economy and people,” Jebb said. “But we said if you have to build this [here], then it will alter the landing

approach for the sailplanes.” Although the Torrey Pines Gliderport features remote-control craft, paragliders and hang gliders, Jebb said sailplane pilots are those in danger from a flight path change. That’s why the SDCRM acquired a 52-year lease from UCSD, and began bargaining for the same lease, he said. “The pilots said, ‘Why don’t you give sailplane pilots a lease?’” Jebb said, referring to his bargaining with officials from SDCRM. “We asked for the sailplanes to use that site for another 52 years, too. And then it would also become a public airport and recognized by the FAA. Someone would have to step up and grade it, smooth it and have drainage put in.” Currently, Caltrans and UCSD annually regulate the gliderport, creating an air of uncertainty for pilots, according to Richard Ledford, SDCRM communications liaison. Jebb said pilots believe transforming the gliderport into a public airport would ensure its future, but they need permits and money for construction. “We would say go ahead and build on the property, but you pay for building the drainage and fenc-

ing [to make it a public airport] and we’ll alter our flight path,” Jebb said. According to Ledford, the group has been working with Jebb and area pilots regarding the SDCRM project that would bring together four research science centers, including the Burnham Institute for Medical Research, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Scripps Research Institute and UCSD. The four groups initiated SDCRM, a nonprofit organization funded by California’s Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative (Proposition 71) in 2006. But Ledford said SDCRM does not have the authority Jebb would like. SDCRM cannot authorize any lease on the university’s land, he said. “I understand what’s driving them to do this,” Ledford said. “Somewhere along the line, they’ve missed the fact that we can’t guarantee that. They’re just asking the wrong parties.”
Although SDCRM recognizes the historical significance of the gliderport, Ledford said the university and SDCRM have bent over backward to help the pilots. But now Jebb and the pilots are beginning to slow the project down, he said. “We have done everything possible to accommodate the pilots,” Ledford said. “But the permits go through UCSD every year. They can’t ask us to condition a building permit. [Jebb] asked us to grade [the gliderport]. If we do that, we blow our EIR — we’re under time constraints.” Although the consortium values the historical significance of the gliderport, Ledford said the group has done all it can for the pilots. “As well-meaning as they are, they said they don’t want to get in the way of our project — but now they are causing it to slow down,” Ledford said. “We don’t want to be the bad guy; we’ve bent over backward.”
Ledford said Caltrans and the FAA mandate the safety of the airport every year. “For the approach zones, it’s not how gliders land but how Caltrans and the FAA say they must land,” Ledford said. “It’s how quickly they drop down onto the runway. The ramp goes out and up on the approach zones.” According to Ledford, if the pilots want the gliderport established as a public airport, they are looking to the wrong group for help: the consortium does not have the power to help the small gliderport become a recognized airport. Ledford said Jebb and the pilots need to ask Caltrans, the FAA and UCSD, where the site is located. But Ledford said SDCRM helped the gliderport – whose hours are dependent on the wind’s temperament – resolve some issues. “The folks at the gliderport were concerned when it turns out that we improved the safety of the airport,” Ledford said. “The greatest obstacle is the eucalyptus trees planted by the airport. But no one ever flies over the campus.” The consortium traveled to Sacramento many times on behalf of the gliderport, according to Ledford. And Caltrans sent SDCRM representatives a letter saying it will continue to permit the use of the gliderport, he said. “I believe that the issue is that they can continue. There is no impact on the gliderport,” Ledford said. To review the Draft EIR, go to http://phisicalplannin.ucsd.edu/pub _notice.html or call (858) 5346515.

special bond with Utahna and I. My wife has lamented to me that she is still at a loss. She says there is no amount of cookies she can bake or Krispy Kreme donuts she can bring them that will ever repay this selfless act.” Although the program was close to begin with, Atwell said a gesture like this brought them closer together. “I think their banding together to do something as amazing as this really brought all of us closer together,” Atwell continued. “They may not remember every win from this fall in 20 years, but they will surely always remember what they did as a group to show their support for my wife. They will always have a special place in our heart.” Joe Laird, a senior and team captain for the Vikings, said the news about Utahna came as a surprise to nearly everyone on the team. “We had just finished practice one day and he pulled us all aside and told us about his wife,” Laird said. “We were all genuinely shocked to hear that Utahna was ill and felt that all we could do was support the Atwell family in any way they needed.” Laird said that team mom Ann Woods originally came up with the idea and told her son Tyler Woods, a member of the team. Tyler relayed the message on to the squad, where it was immediately met with enthusiasm. “We met one day after a
John Greenhalgh, the city can now begin building the station unless someone appeals the decision, he said. Greenhalgh started working with the community nearly seven years ago, he said. At that time, issues with La Jolla’s lifeguard stations seemed tame compared to today’s issues. About a year ago, the city condemned the Children’s Pool tower, concerned that the crumbling cement and structural cracks could echo the tragedies occurring at that same time on Mount Soledad. Officials erected temporary towers and trailers. “We worked with the community for seven years,” Greenhalgh said. “We didn’t get exactly what we wanted, but I think it’s going to meet our operational needs.” La Jolla planning group members and city of San Diego project manager Jihad Sleiman agreed on various issues about the Children’s Pool project, including a narrower access ramp, less landscaping and more plaza. Sleiman said he narrowed a beach access ramp from 12 feet to 7 feet and removed landscaping from the plans. But some members continued to express concerns regarding the tower’s footprint — mainly its impact on the community’s view. “There were concerns about increasing space in the public plaza,” Sleiman said. “We reduced landscaping. The ADA ramp was 12 feet wide and we narrowed it to 7 feet wide. We even removed a flag pole to accommodate the public’s desire.” But Sleiman’s concessions seemed futile moments after he spoke, when trustees began voicing their concerns regarding duties of the San Diego lifeguards especially relating to the Children’s Pool area. LJCPA trustee Orrin Gabsch opened a Pandora’s box among the other trustees when he said lifeguards would have too much room for daily administrative work in the proposed Children’s Pool tower —

game and shaved our heads, making sure to save all of the hair in a cardboard box,” Laird said. “We presented Coach Atwell with a box at a 5:30 a.m. practice containing all of our hair. Coach Atwell was totally surprised and seemed to be touched by the gesture. He kept telling us how happy this would make Utahna and that he couldn’t believe we had all shaved our heads.”
Laird also noted that La Jolla water polo is more than just a sports team, it’s a family. “Utahna is at all of our games and knows each of us by our names, both as players and as people,” Laird said. “With an individual as close and as special to us as Utahna, we couldn’t help but be inspired. The situation gives us something and someone to play for outside of the pool.”■
an area one trustee said “could be guarded by someone sitting in a chair.” “I think the size of this is beyond what the lifeguard needs and I’m going to oppose it for that reason,” Gabsch said. Trustee Bob Collins agreed with Gabsch. LJCPA trustee Tony Crisafi said he toured the Pacific Beach lifeguard station, which is larger than the proposed Children’s Pool tower. “I think you have a good argument,” Crisafi said, regarding Gabsch’s concerns about administrative rooms. “But I don’t know if it’s too big for me to approve it.” Then Gabsch said the lifeguards don’t need the size kitchen that was proposed. “This side is a prime vista point in San Diego,” LJCPA trustee David Little said. “It occurs to me it could be guarded by someone sitting in a chair. It seems to me that the use is administrative offices and storage and that’s a poor use.” Many trustees said they wanted to use a different design by former La Jolla planning member and architect Phil Merten. But trustee Lance Peto said he witnessed lifeguards saving lives on several occasions from the Children’s Pool lifeguard station. “Lifeguards were there in a minute,” Peto said. “Another time I saw two saves from that lifeguard station.” Some trustees said lifeguards went a long way regarding the proposed tower’s design, while others wanted to oppose the design, saying they were not “convinced [the tower] is primarily a lifeguard station.” “Someone higher up than us has made the decision those offices should be there,” LJCPA trustee Darcy Ashley said. Ashley made a motion to approve the project, adding conditions such as officials flatten the roof out and that the coastal commission approves the narrowed ramp.

Bishop’s celebrates its first century by looking back and ahead BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
One hundred years and counting. The Bishop’s School is now embarking on another century of excellence in the La Jolla community. The school is celebrating its first 100 years of success during the 2008-’09 school year with its Centennial Celebration, “100 Years and Beyond.” The celebration involves a number of exciting events planned to honor the campus, faculty and students who have made such an impact over the last century. “We wanted to set some goals when we planned this,” said Suzanne Weiner, Bishop’s marketing and public relations director. “We wanted the students to learn about the history of the school. We also wanted to educate the outside world about Bishop’s, both locally and nationally.” One way to highlight the history of the school is a historical display, which is currently ongoing through Dec. 15 in Wheeler J. Bailey Hall.

The exhibit features trained volunteer docents and is open Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon, Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We hope everyone will take advantage of it,” Weiner said. “The display is a fabulous opportunity for students to learn the history of the school.” Among the events planned this month is a special day on Saturday, Oct. 18, which is set aside as Ellen Browning Scripps Day, honoring the founder of the school.

The school is also hosting several art events, including a California Plein Air Art Exhibition highlighting “Visions of San Diego” from Jan. 20 to March 1, 2009, and an Irving Gill Architecture Retrospective Exhibition called “Dare to Be Simple” from March 16 through
April 30 of next year. Both events will be held in Wheeler J. Bailey Hall. On Dec. 27, 2008 and Jan. 9, 2009, the school will celebrate Alumni Sports Weekend. Alumni are invited back on campus to enjoy sporting activities and recon-
nect with old friends and teachers. The yearlong event will be topped off in May, as several days of celebration will take place. From May 21 to 24, alumni will return to campus for the end of the school year. On May 21, an Awards Day and Headmaster Michael Teitelman’s Retirement Picnic will take place. Commencement is slated for May 22, with a 100th birthday party planned for May 23. The school has also compiled a history book of its first 100 years, “The Bishop’s School: 100 Years and Beyond.” The publication tells the story of the incredible legacy that has moved The Bishop’s School from its founding in 1909 into the 21st century. The book, which is being released in November, can be ordered online from the school’s Web site. As with any celebration, countless hours of preparation go into making it work.

City of San Diego Planning Commissioners voted 4-0 in favor of Bird Rock Station last July. Opponents say the three-story mixeduse project at 5702 La Jolla Blvd. will “bust La Jolla’s PDO.” “Because City Council votes are often more politically motivated than merit-based, part of our effort includes preparing for a possible lawsuit in case the council approves the project,” the group’s letter says. Steve Haskins, attorney for the watchdog group La Jollans for Clean Government, said he is the lawyer for No Third Story and is aware of the letter. Bird Rock Station architect Chris Richards said the project continues along the city’s process smoothly, and the public’s cries are unfounded because the design is well within the area’s 30-foot height limit, he said. The project is not breaking the area’s PDO, according to Richards. “How do you bust something that’s already broken? There’s three stories all around,” Richards said. During July’s planning commission meeting, many residents spoke against the project but many residents stepped up in favor of the project. “I’d like to speak in favor of the project,” said Tom Sanger, Bird Rock resident, during July’s meeting. “The developer has made adjustments to the design. It has more open space and it has more parking. I’d like to see this project done. Bird Rock is undergoing somewhat of a renaissance right now.” Other community members say three stories will create a precedent that will destroy Bird Rock’s character. Richards said project architect Mark Lyon was unavailable for comment.

Ask Aubrey can I find Q. How money to save
the for
retirement?
A.
In Ways & Means: Maximize the Value of Your Retirement Savings, for which I was a contributing author, a similar question is posed. Although the media often draws much attention to the importance of planning for retirement, the reality of saving money can be difficult with the demands of everyday life. Most financial experts recommend that you save 10% or more of your income to prepare for retirement – a time which could be longer than your working life. Unfortunately, many don’t have the time or the excess income to save for what they need. Until recently, there has been too much credit available and saying “charge it” was too easy. The result can be a tendency to focus on short-term needs and loose sight of long-term goals – such as your retirement. One of the first steps is to set up a payroll deduction to a 401k or similar retirement plan. The income tax savings can reduce the aftertax cost of these investments so it is not as painful to your wallet. Reality is that spending is easy – savings is not. These are selected questions Aubrey receives each Saturday on the radio.

Lightner said she stands behind a portion of the community speaking out against the project and that the city’s planning commission did not correctly authorize the project when they voted to allow the project to proceed. “Largely because the commission didn’t make any determination for what the public benefit was,” Lightner said. Although the city could allow deviations such as three stories from the PDO, lightner said the commission should have stated what the public would gain. “I may have missed it, but the closest it would have been what was in the staff report which said that ‘it was a nice looking build-

Thalheimer said he also can speak with authority about the Torrey Pines Gliderport. “Aviation is a very small community and I talk with pilots,” Thalheimer said.

After a 21-year career as an executive at Saks Fifth Avenue, where she managed stores in Woodland Hills, La Jolla and San Diego, Suzanne left the venerable store and started a business that grew to become the most renowned resale store in the country. In 1991, Suzanne started Encore of La Jolla in a small space on Herschel Avenue. The store soon grew so popular that it moved into the former I Magnin building on Girard Avenue. Suzanne bought fixtures from the original art deco Bullocks Wilshire store on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles and recreated the elegant ambience of a luxurious salon. The store offered one of the largest collections of designer labels in San
Diego. To this day, customers are still amazed to realize that the clothing had a prior life. U n d e r Suzanne’s discerning eye, Encore was a pioneer in redefining resale. The store attracts customers and wardrobes from all over the country. Suzanne Leslie McBain was born on Oct. 6, 1946 in Los Angeles to Carl and Bette McBain. She was an excellent tennis young player who was once ranked 14th in the Southern California Section of the US Tennis Association. She attended Pierce College in Los Angeles.

Byron B. Webb, Jr.; 81; banker, land developer
Byron was born Oct. 28, 1926 in Pontiac, Mich., to Mine and Byron B. Webb. He attended public schools and enjoyed telling people he graduated from junior high school in 1942 and was a sophomore at the University of Michigan by 1944. At Ann Arbor he was elected to Phi Eta Sigma, Freshman Honorary Society and social fraternity Delta Tau Delta. He enjoyed playing comet in the University of Michigan marching band for three years and owned and operated a rooming house near campus during that time. He had completed one year of medical school when a professor convinced him that he should be in the business school. He followed this advice and earned his MBA. Byron’s military service included active duty in World War II and Korea, USNR in electronics. He was later commissioned in the U.S.

Supply Corps. His Naval duties took him to the Mediterranean and Japan. After his discharge, he moved to California in 1952 and entered the banking world with Security First National Bank in Los Angeles. He resisted the bank’s training program because he wanted to get straight to work. He was always interested in real estate and acquired two older properties in the Ambassador District and also developed apartments, “moonlighting” while still working at the bank. He also successfully completed the exam for CPAs. After a few years, he transferred to La Jolla, where he developed one of La Jolla’s fist condominium properties. He and partners also developed the compact houses on Agate Street in Pacific Beach. Byron started La Jolla Savers and SEE OBITUARIES, Page 9

ACOUSTIC CONTINUED FROM Page 1
“It was hard to pick from so many great local musicians,” Jay said. “I sought diversity, in every way, to show the many beautiful faces of acoustic music in our town. Each show will have a slightly different theme and spotlight solo acts.” The final concert, on Nov. 10 will focus on family and the blues. “There will be some special guests,” Jay said. “Brothers jamming with sisters, fathers jamming with daughters and sons, that sort of thing.” Hoping to have the artists make a deeper connection with their listeners, a brief onstage discussion will follow each set, “so the audience can get to know more about the performers and their experiences making music,” Jay stated. Opening night will feature Senegalese duo Sene Africa, singersongwriter Jenn Grinels and acoustic troubadour Will Edwards. Upcoming performers include singer-songwriter Mary Dolan (Oct. 27) and bluesman Robin Henkel (Nov. 10). Though Jay has been making music locally for eight years, he first became interested in working with the Athenaeum indirectly. In May, he completed his master’s degree in history at San Diego State University, working on a thesis detailing the venue’s history, dating back to the 1890s. “Through this process, I developed a great admiration and respect for the Athenaeum,” he said. “Once I completed my mas-

ter’s, I approached them with some of my ideas for work we could do together.” “This collaboration is mutually beneficial,” said Kristina Meek, Athenaeum marketing director. “It gives us a chance to reach new and likely younger audiences, which is an ever-important goal for arts organizations.” An additional perk, for performers, is the opportunity to expand their fan base. “These musicians will have a chance to perform in an elegant, historic venue which has an established audience,” she noted. For Meek, exposing performers of all types to a wider audience makes the shows rewarding. “The Athenaeum is devoted to promoting local, emerging artists,” she said. “We showcase emerging visual artists in our Rotunda Gallery and through our Annual Juried Exhibition. Meanwhile, in music, we have shepherded the careers of such classical musicians
as Gustavo Romero and Hong Lin, both now world famous.” While the series is currently set at three shows, “if all goes well, we hope to continue it in the future,” Meek said. Jay would like to see the Acoustic Festival go biannual. “The type of music previously hosted at the Athenaeum consists largely of jazz and chamber music, with some notable exceptions,” he said. “I thought that our local acoustic musicians would be a great fit for the room, the venue and the organization. I know that this will be something that Athenaeum’s members, acoustic music fans and anybody else who attends will truly enjoy.” Acoustic Evenings at the Athenaeum take place at 7:30 p.m. on three Mondays, Oct. 13, Oct. 27 and Nov. 10, at 1008 Wall St. All ages are welcome. Tickets are $10 members, $15 nonmembers. For information, call (858) 454-5872 or visit www.ljathenaeum.org. ■
UCSD VOLUNTEER BIRTH ASSISTANTS Join the UCSD Medical Center’s Hearts & Hands Volunteer Doula Program
What Is A Doula? A Doula is a non-medical birth assistant who gives one-to-one support to women during childbirth. A Doula provides continuous physical and emotional care and comfort to a birthing mother and her family during her entire labor and delivery.
Who can be a Doula? You can, if you have the time, commitment, and stamina needed to stay at a laboring woman’s side during childbirth. You need a calming presence, but medical, nursing or birth experience is not required. UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest offers training for new volunteer doulas.

Underwater map artwork links Kumeyaay ancestors to San Diego’s shores BY DANIEL J. TUCKER & RICCI LABRAKE
an Diego’s Native American tribes have long been associated with East and North County, but many people may not realize the reach of the tribes has historically extended to the entire county, including the ocean waters off La Jolla. Now there’s a special piece of public art in La Jolla that recognizes the rich, diverse heritage of the Kumeyaay nation. It is a 2,300-squarefoot in-ground sculpture at Kellogg Park depicting the undersea life of the La Jolla Shores Underwater Park & Ecological Reserve. It is a unique and remarkable achievement that will greatly benefit future generations. The reserve, a protected waterway, is the final resting place for numerous artifacts of the Kumeyaay Nation. Generations of Kumeyaay incorporated the ocean and bays off San Diego’s coast into their lifestyle, using them to find sustenance and helping them travel to other regions where disparate bands of the farflung Kumeyaay Nation had settled. That is why the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, on behalf of all 13 Kumeyaay Bands in San Diego County, believed it was so important to support “The Map,” the sculpture that was unveiled last month at Kellogg Park. The artwork will not only raise awareness and understanding of the ecological, geological and cultural resources featured just offshore, but will also celebrate
S
long-standing Kumeyaay traditions and promote preservation of Kumeyaay artifacts found along the ocean floor and surrounding areas. Those artifacts are now protected by federal and state laws, prohibiting their removal. “The Map” also includes a plaque that recognizes Sycuan and all Kumeyaay Bands as contributors to the project, launching a welcomed recognition of the historical Kumeyaay lifestyle on the coast. Sycuan is pleased and proud to have been a part of this project, which help ensure the Kumeyaay lifestyle along the coast is not forgotten. We hope “The Map” will become a tool to help children and all people understand the rich culture along San Diego’s coast and its relation to the heritage of the Kumeyaay Nation. Sycuan is proud to have been a part of the comprehensive efforts that created this unique piece of art and congratulates the La Jolla community and the other organizations, including the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Birch Aquarium, Wyland, Franko, the Kumeyaay/Diegueno Land Conservancy, and other individuals and groups that helped make this project possible. — Daniel J. Tucker is the chairman and Ricci LaBrake is vice chairman of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation.

City Council to hear BR Station Project On Oct. 14, the SD City Council will hear an important issue that will affect development on La Jolla Boulevard in Bird Rock, and other parts of La Jolla. This is the Bird Rock Station (or Mixed Use) Project which seeks to build a three-story building where only two stories are allowed. The LJ Planned District Ordinance restricts commercial buildings to two stories in Zone 4 to give a height transition/buffer between the businesses and homes. Obviously, this transition is very important for the quality of life in the adjacent homes. Approving this project will not only allow this three-story building, but will set the precedent for deviations allowing at least two other pending projects to do the same, and then likely more projects will follow. All La Jolla Zone 4 will lose this restriction. This is important for all of La Jolla as well since the two stories above the commercial ground floor will be condos. Population, crowding and traffic will increase and views will be lost. The only one benefiting will be the developers. This developer seeks a second deviation from the LJ PDO by placing a driveway on Bird Rock Avenue, next to the splitter island. The PDO requires him to use the convenient alley. His plan will interfere with traffic flow on Bird Rock Ave and La Jolla Boulevard. This project is a direct contradiction to the community’s repeated reviews and feedback. There have been about 39 public meetings about this project and it has never been positively received; every community plan-

Bird Rock Station: put a stake in its heart Over the years, community action has been instrumental in preserving La Jolla’s special quality of life and its Village atmosphere. Most recently, the community came together to successfully block paid on-street parking. Now the community’s help is needed again. The issue is the Bird Rock Station (BRS) project. During the last two and a half years, the applicant has made numerous attempts to undermine the integrity of La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO) by eliminating or by circumventing the two-story commercial building height limit. This limit has successfully prevented out-ofscale commercial development in La Jolla for more than 20 years. And three times during these last two and a half years, the community has rejected these attempts, mostly recently by the Community Planning Association. You would think that three strikes and you are out — but not in this case. It is now time to finally put a stake in BRS’ heart. I am urging as many of my fel-

Nothing is the same Judge Pate ruled that the water at the Children’s Pool must be returned to the level it was in 1931. How is that possible? All the seawater for hundreds of miles around is polluted at the 2008 level. The ruling was utterly absurd. The Children’s Pool is only a small cove, not a pool. The water changes completely twice a day because of the tides, and is constantly re-supplied with fresh surf. It would be impossible to put it back to the 1931 level. The judge might just as well have ruled that the City of San Diego must clean up the 2008 heavily polluted air over the area to the 1931 level. The judges and the attorneys who support the ruling ought to go back to high school and take a basic science course, or at least read almost any current periodical. Nothing in this world is the same as it was in 1931. Nothing, that is, except human greed, and even that seems to have gotten worse. Peter Fraser

Rules or needs? How one responds politically, economically, how one makes decisions or deals with intimate relationships depends on one’s view of the world. Some people tend to see life in terms of rules and justice, others are more comfortable responding to the needs of individuals. Some prefer concepts such as “objectivity, law, policy, categories, standards, rights and regulations,” others seem more at ease with concepts such as “ subjectivity, harmony, caring, empathy, appreciation, persuasion, special circumstances.” People who use the more personal mode as the basis for decisions call the others heartless, remote, cold, unfeeling, lacking the milk of human kindness. People who use the more impersonal mode for decision-making call the others softhearted, over-emotional, illogical, fuzzy thinkers and accuse them of wearing their hearts on their sleeves. I don’t want to polarize genders into opposing camps, but research points to the tendency of men to be more comfortable in the impersonal mode and of women to be more comfortable in the personal mode. We can say similar things about political parties. Democrats accuse Republicans of not having a social conscience, while Republicans call Democrats bleeding-heart liberals. Actually, the people who act in impersonal ways are capable of the same emotional intensity as the others, but they have been taught not to show their emotions and not to act on them. In other
words, they don’t take their emotions into account when reacting or making decisions. On the other hand, those who act in more personal ways can be just as logical but choose to use their feelings as valuable criteria for decisionmaking. Let us take the workplace as an example. Should single parents with young children be given special consideration when there is a family emergency, or would they then be seen as not pulling their own weight at work and is that fair to others who don’t ask for time off? The question there is for those who function in the more impersonal mode, if working hours are 8 to 5, then everyone, regardless of circumstances, should be able to adhere to that schedule. For people functioning in the personal mode, the question then revolves around the needs of the individuals affected, under what circumstances should there be flexibility with what consequences both for the person and the rest of the workforce? We see here very clearly the “rules” versus “needs” controversy and how preferred modes of
functioning affect decision-making. In other words, we either believe in adhering to the rules of a workforce or the “needs” of the parent. It is important for people to identify their own comfort or discomfort with both ways of functioning. The word “fairness” is often invoked. But what is fair to one may not seem fair to others. What is seen as “preferential treatment” in any organization may result in a number of disgruntled people. The question here is how to best achieve the desired results. It is important to think of the overall goal to be reached and then think of the various ways this can be done, taking into consideration the intended as well as unintended consequences. People are often unconscious of their preferred way of responding to situations and making them aware of these tendencies may help in reaching a consensus. Both rules and needs have their place in human affairs; the people who are not locked into only one way of seeing and understanding the world are the ones who can bridge the differences. ■

What do an artist, a baker, a banker, a college dean, a doctor and a paunchy TV host have in common? They all thought that they could dance, picking up the challenge thrown down by the master of dance, John Malashock. The judges (really commentators) were a pretty savvy bunch; like Darlene Shiley — always a hoot and a holler; Dea Hurston— her husband was one of the contestants; and Christopher Ashley, artistic director of La Jolla Playhouse. They kept making reference to a pair of tweezers in the Green Room, an inside joke that was funny only to them. Anyway, the contestants were funny, like Charles Kaufman, the baker who tried to bribe them with bread; the doctor, Alan Spector, who shook his ruffled carioca sleeves because admittedly he couldn’t move his hips; Pam Cesak, whose costume could easily be put on display at the San Diego Museum of Art’s annual floral festival; Ruben Galvan, admittedly 50 pounds overweight; and, at the head of the class was the queen of sexy, Dean of Fine Arts (and she was fine) at San Diego State University, Joyce Gattas, in a costume that must have been poured on. Mosaic Catering, with Cruz at the helm, deserved an award for the delightful tidbits served at the reception, and worthy as well was the half-page ad placed in the program by Bread & Cie co-workers, who obviously share their boss’s sense of humor.

Piling it on: a week in the theatre BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Do mortals ever wonder what greater power plots the larger themes and resonances; for instance, the details and dovetailing of theater schedules in greater San Diego? Earlier this week, a friend earnestly asked how the critic manages to see so many plays and musicals, write about each and still maintain critical and personal sanity. The response: each, in its own way, feeds the soul. That was before; this is after. The week of Sept. 29 through Oct. 5 the chickens came home to roost big time, and by Sunday night the critic was dining on her own words. The week’s productions and the performances were up to the usual standards; it’s just that the material was dark, pessimistic, and thus so difficult to digest. It all began Monday with Ion Theatre’s excellent reading of Henrik Ibsen’s “The Master Builder,” in which all the characters are master manipulators. Ion continued its week Thursday and Friday with back-to-back Neil LaBute openings (“In a Dark Dark House” and “bash: the latterday plays”). Saturday, I caught the final performance of InnerMission/OnStage Playhouse’s highly praised production of La Bute’s “Fat Pig.” Playwright LaBute is not known for his sunny outlook. The theater critic played catch-up Sunday afternoon, seeing New Village Arts’ extraordinary production of Sam Shepard’s “Fool for Love,” staged by Dana Case at New Village Arts. That left the opening of La Jolla Playhouse’s production of Jack Kirkland’s adaptation of the Erskine Caldwell novel “Tobacco Road” for a nightcap. How could one enjoy dreamless sleep after such a week? Joshua Everett Johnson, who plays opposite Kristiane Kurner in “Fool for Love” (others in the tight ensemble are Jack Missett and Greg Wittman) opined that “Tobacco Road” was the fountainhead of Shepard and LaBute’s dark, slice-of-life sensibilities. Though Shepard’s take on humanity is darkly funny, we care about his people, no matter how frightening they are. In “Fool for Love” the playwright tears off into fantasy, something that parallels Jeeter’s direct address editorializing in Kirkland’s adaptation of “Tobacco Road.” LaBute’s characters are so twisted and blackhearted that they are sometimes beyond compassion, even though

he carefully reveals why they are as they are. As for “Tobacco Road,” the characters and situations in John Ford’s 1941 film are stereotypes that informed “Beverly Hillbillies.” According to several sources, the Broadway production played more and more for laughs during its 3,182-performance run. In the La Jolla Playhouse production, directed by David Schweizer, we care about these starving, ignorant sharecroppers, who do outrageously dark things and then shrug them off, along with the consequences. They’re so used to losing. Acclaimed actor/performance artist John Fleck, memorable at the Old Globe as La Nona (the grandmother), portrays Jeeter Lester, last of a long line of sharecroppers on a farm in the Georgia hills. It’s the height of the Depression, and Jeeter finds that even the landlord’s promise of a place to live for the rest of his life is forfeit. There is no food, no bank loan for seed, and thus no crop and no prospects. Jan Leslie Harding, who is remembered for her astonishing portrayal of Mrs. Zero in “The Adding Machine” last season, plays Jeeter’s wife, Ada. Add Catherine Curtin as the itinerant preacher known as Sister Bessie, and you have a winning trio. Kate Dalton, Mary Deaton and Sam Rosen play the remaining Lester offspring. There is some auditory difficulty throughout the evening, first occasioned by the Georgia cracker dialect, which, like Shakespeare, takes some getting-usedto. The second challenge is the sheer immensity of the physical

Hiring a Caregiver for Your Parents
A
rranging homecare may seem to be a daunting process but it doesn’t have to be if you follow some basic guidelines. Start things while your parent is in the hospital. Sometimes when a parent is in the hospital, you become so consumed with medical issues you neglect thinking about their needs
when they get home. Use a geriatric care manager. The geriatric care manager can assess what the care needs are by doing an assessment in the hospital or home and finding the right candidate for you. Trust your instincts. If you don’t feel 100 % comfortable with the person, then you are probably right. Don’t settle for
mediocrity. Be clear about what you expect. Try to keep things professional. Make sure everyone understands the common goal is quality care for your parents. Help prevent burnout. You are the one who knows your parents history better than anyone. Fill in the gaps for the best job possible.
Your local geriatric care manager is Innovative Healthcare Consultants, Inc. They have RN Care Managers and companion caregivers available to help you in every way. The website is www. innovativehc.com or call (877) 731-1442.

What is Foot Reflexology?
F
oot reflexology is a method of stimulating reflex areas of the feet that relax and rejuvenate part of the body including glands and organs. By pressure to certain known reflex points located on the foot, you can stimulate these connections, bring soothing relief to the corresponding body part, whether the sinuses, back
and neck, lungs, stomach, hip, or other area of stiffness or pain. The feet are often a very neglected part of the body. We squeeze our feet into shoes, losing direct contact with the ground. By wearing shoes we deprive our organs of the benefits provided by the reflex zones on our feet. What's even worse, the lack of ventilation, and the
the constant pressure bring on calluses, corns, hammertoes, and other deformities. Foot reflexology focuses primarily on the feet activates all the organs and leads to better blood circulation and helps balance the distribution of nutrients that leads to a healthy, ailment-free body.

In the pool, two local grads are in action for the Stanford University men’s water polo team. Stanford headed into action last weekend ranked third in the country with a 9-1 record. Sophomore Alex Pulido (The Bishop’s School) and freshman Peter Sefton (La Jolla High) are members of the Cardinal. Pulido and Sefton each scored three goals on the day in the team’s recent 50 performance at the Princeton Tournament. The University of Southern California has a number of Bishop’s School grads on its men’s water polo roster this fall. Will Cherashore, Kevin May, Nico Sardo and Andrey Artamonov are members of the topranked USC squad. Sardo and May each had a goal for the Trojans in a recent 13-5 victory over UC Irvine.
On the volleyball courts, Laurel Casey (The Bishop’s School) continues to see action at Yale University. Yale came into this week at 8-3 overall and 2-0 in Ivy League play, with Casey seeing action last weekend in a sweep of Brown. Yale head coach Erin Appleman noted, “Laurel stepped up for us; her defense set a good tone for the way our offense played.” Rachel Cocalis (The Bishop’s School) is an outside hitter at Princeton University. Princeton came into play this week at 7-2, 10 in the Ivy League. Natalia Wrobel (The Bishop’s School) is a sophomore setter at Dartmouth College. The Big Green came into play this week with a record of 4-8, 0-2 in Ivy League play. Lily Durwood (La Jolla High) is a junior setter at Harvard.

Bishop’s rolls 48-7; LJCD suffers tough loss BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
The Bishop’s School spread the ball around in rolling to a 48-7 win over El Centro Southwest last Friday in scholastic football action. Freshman QB Joey Moreno went 9-of-15 for 135 yards and a touchdown, with Micah Seau hauling in three catches for 55 yards and a TD. Junior running back AJ Chederick did the bulk of the work on the ground, rushing 17 times for 201 yards, while teammate Kyle Jester had 73 yards on seven carries. On defense, Seau and Mike
Jensen each had a pair of sacks, while junior noseguard Alex Carrillo had 10 tackles. “We are starting to play better every game,” Bishop’s head coach Mike David remarked. “I was very pleased with our overall effort tonight.” Bishop’s (3-2) will travel to Escondido Charter this Friday evening, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m. Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School ran into a buzzsaw in the form of Francis Parker last Friday night, dropping a 76-7 decision. The loss to very big, fast and talented Parker squad was LJCD’s
worst in recent history. The night started well for the visiting Torreys as they opened the game with an 80-yard, nine-and-ahalf minute drive that ended with an 8-yard Derek Hatfield touchdown run. Unfortunately for LJCD, it was all downhill from there, as the Torreys were unable to reach the end zone again, giving up 11 consecutive Parker touchdowns. LJCD (3-1) returns to play this Friday night when it hosts Boulder City (Nev.) at 7 p.m. University City High (1-3) had the weekend off and will host Scripps Ranch Friday at 3 p.m. ■

Hornets sting Vikings in close game Spikers net wins in league play; LJCD wins tourney title BY ROB STONE | VILLAGE NEWS
BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Several local girls volleyball teams netted victories in recent action. La Jolla High took sixth place (of 48 schools from six states) in its recent Beach City Invitational. Senior setter Karly Deer helped to lead the Lady Vikings to a 4-2 finish, defeating the reigning New Mexico state champions and one of the top teams from Alaska along the way. Outside hitters Amanda Gordon and Gracie Drozda also made big contributions, along with middles Caitlin Parmer and Madeline Lee. With a league victory over Point Loma last week, La Jolla raised its record to 15-3 overall and 3-0 in league. Elsewhere, The Bishop’s School finished second in the Beach City Invitational. After going 3-0 on the opening day of play, Bishop’s then defeated the likes of Esperanza and Santa Fe Christian in the quarters, and Dana Hills in the semifinals. Bishop’s lost to Orange Lutheran in the finals in a close three-gamer. Kristen Casey and Julie Gantz were all-tourney, and Thea Derrough and Hannah Saber were also excellent, according to head coach Tod Mattox. In its first league match last week, Bishop’s (12-6 overall) fell to La Jolla Country Day School (see more information below) in four games. Derrough led Bishop’s with 12 kills, and Kendall Lord chipped in with 11 kills and three blocks. Bishop’s also fell last week to Santa Fe Christian in a five-game match. The Lady Knights dropped the first two games, then won the next two to force the deciding game. Carly Bollert led the Lady Knights with 18 kills, and Ina Kamenova had a great showing, tallying 41 assists, along with six kills. Gantz had four aces and Carly Guiducci chipped in with three. Finally, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School opened the week with a victory over The Bishop’s

Sophomore Drew Hoffenberg scored an outside shot with 1:06 remaining in the game to secure the victory. Coronado had one last chance with 30 seconds left on a power play, but Bishop’s junior Ollie Feune De Colombi helped secure the win with a shot block and steal in the final seconds. Bishop’s got goals from Justin Wolfe (three), Scott Siegel (two), Drew Hoffenberg (two) and Demian Tschirn. Christian Ronald tallied 10 saves in goal. Elsewhere, the La Jolla High School boys water polo team upset University City last Friday 14-5. La Jolla got goals from Hunter Gettelfinger (six), Joe Laird (two), Alex Arcidiacono (two), Troy LeLoup, Adam Buechler, Alex Grinius and Dylan Hallman. ■
At times, bottling up the athletic Lincoln Hornets can seem similar to trying to control the pinball in a pinball game. The La Jolla Vikings found this out the hard way in attempting to contain a Lincoln ballclub loaded with athleticism and team speed during a tough 37-24 loss in a nonleague football game at La Jolla’s Gene Edwards Stadium last Friday, Oct. 3. The Hornets got on the scoreboard first on touchdown runs by Davon Dunn (12 carries, 91 yards, 1 TD) and Keith Patterson (8 carries, 64 yards, 2 TDs) to give Lincoln an early 14-0 first quarter edge. The Vikings would come right back in the second quarter behind an 18-yard touchdown run by Robbie Beathard (11 carries, 80 yards, 1 TD) to bring La Jolla within seven at 14-7. A 17-yard touchdown pass from Ronald Yell (7-of-16, 177 yards, 1 TD) to Dunn (1 catch, 17 yards, 1 TD) and a 25-yard field goal by Marcquel Rogers (4 PATs, 1 FG) extended the Hornet lead to 24-7 heading into the locker room at the halftime intermission. In the third quarter, after Dunn had returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown for Lincoln, the Vikings answered back when Yoshi Rothman (2 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD) hauled in a 63-yard touchdown pass from Henry Nawahine to cut the gap to 31-14. “On that particular throw, Henry got away from a quick pass rusher that we didn’t block,” La Jolla coach Dave Ponsford said. “He stepped up in the pocket and made a play. Yoshi’s a kid that’s a good
School. “It was a complete team effort,” LJCD head coach Peter Ogle said. Mollie Rogers had 17 kills to lead the Lady Torreys, while Lauren Birks had 14 kills and 21 digs. “Setters Jessie Altman and Chloe Mathis ran the offense with poise, keeping the defenders guessing,” Ogle noted. “With the passing of Libero Cheyenne Giesecke, the middle option for Gillian Howard and Jordan Krant was a constant source of points for us. Right side Maggie Whitney kept the powerful outside hitters honest, allowing the defense to dig a ton of balls. It is only one of eight league games in a very tough Coastal League South. In our league, if you play well, you have a chance to win. If you do not play well, you will not win.” LJCD moved on to see action in the Scripps Ranch Tournament last Friday and Saturday, capturing the title with a win over Christian High in two games. The Lady Torreys won their pool by defeating Oceanside, Otay Ranch and University City. That put LJCD seeded first in the championship bracket on Saturday. After beating Fallbrook in the seeding game, the Lady Torreys survived some inconsistent play with tough victories over Escondido and Valley Center before moving on to knock off Christian for the title. Giesecke and Rogers were named to the all-tournament team, while Birks, who led LJCD in the final match with 15 kills, was named the MVP. ■

Vikings in the fourth quarter when Lee Abelkop (3 PATs, 1 FG) converted a 34-yard field goal and Matt Jones hit pay dirt on a 46yard touchdown run to trim the margin to 31-24. Unfortunately for La Jolla (2-3), that would be as close as the Vikings would get, as Patterson would pretty much seal the victory for the Hornets (4-0) on a 42-yard touchdown run late in the fourth period. Lincoln’s E.J. Madyun carried 11 times for 84 yards, while Yell added 6 carries for 40 yards. Madyun (1 catch, 14 yards) also caught a pass from Yell, as did Jonathan Simpson (1 catch, 52 yards) and John Jacquess (1 catch, 16 yards). Bryce Tabb had 7 carries for 74 yards for the Vikings. ■

$45K fine in tax evasion case Ex-manager of La Jolla plastic surgeon will also be confined to home for one year BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS
The wife and former office manager for a La Jolla plastic surgeon was fined $45,000 by a federal judge on Oct. 3 and ordered to spend one year of home confinement after pleading guilty to attempted income tax evasion for concealing the surgeon’s true income and underpaying the Internal Revenue Service. Marjan Pousti, 38, was ordered to no longer handle the books for Dr. Tom Pousti’s plastic surgery firm, which has offices in La Jolla, La Mesa and Temecula, under terms of three years’ probation by U.S. District
Court Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego. Pousti will be fitted with an electronic surveillance device that will disclose her whereabouts if she leaves her home in La Jolla. Sabraw said he imposed probation and not jail time because Pousti needs to look after the care of a child at home who “unquestionably needs your assistance” due to an undisclosed medical condition. Pousti was also ordered to pay $60,017 in back taxes to the IRS and to perform 200 hours of community service. The restitution amount does not include penalties and interest, which she
will have to settle with the IRS separately, said Assistant U.S. Attorney John Owens. Marjan Pousti apologized to the court, saying she was ashamed, and cried during her statement. Pousti will be allowed to leave her home to drive her daughter to the doctor and for the community service work, said the prosecutor. Owens said Pousti will not be able to go to restaurants, or social functions or other places during her home confinement period. “Probation is a privilege, not a right,” Sabraw said as he described the sentence to her in court. He added he felt probation was “reasonable and appropriate” in this case. SEE TAX EVASION, Page B·3
Oktoberfest boosts spirits, economy BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
Amid the bad news for Wall Street in recent days, Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) says bratwurst, bands and Bavarian beer should bring cheer and better times to Ocean Beach this weekend. The OBMA, working with community organizations, businesses and musicians, will host this year’s Oktoberfest at the foot of Newport Avenue near the beach on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. “We’re hoping it will be full and fun and people can take a break from all the worrisome news out there and come to Ocean Beach,” said Denny Knox, OBMA’s executive director. It rained during last year’s Oktoberfest, but Knox said she is hopeful that inclement weather is not in this weekend’s forecast. If weather permits, hundreds of amateur and seasoned beer and brat connoisseurs will descend on the beer garden at

No bad hare days in submarine canyon BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD
The La Jolla submarine canyon is rife with life but the California sea hare (Aplysia californica) surely wins the award for stand-out species of this past summer. Divers could not miss their large numbers (in the hundreds), size (more than a foot long), and singular activity (unrestrained orgies). A cluster of mating sea hares shows no movement but the growing yellow blanThe moniker “sea hare” is ket of eggs beneath them tells another story.

rhinophores, which resemble rabbit ears, and the overall body shape, which mirrors a crouching rabbit. Soft-bodied with a muscular foot that nearly covers the entire underside, a sea hare moves its mottled, wine-hued body in inchwormlike fashion along the seafloor. Pinpoint-sized black eyes, invisi-
ble to all but the highly observant, dot the base of the head’s rhinophores, but a sea hare only senses light from them. Instead of vision as we know it, sea hare eyes are used as a 12-hour clock to synchronize the body’s biological rhythms. Thus, a hare’s real vision, as it were, is left to the rhinophores and pair of large tentacles at the front of the head, two sensory organs that allow the hare to easily find SEE HARE DAYS, Page B·5

YOUR NAME IN THE SAND Adopt-A-Beach program calls on businesses, citizens BY DAVE KENSLER | VILLAGE NEWS
Even though the busy summer months are over, there remains an ongoing issue with respect to beaches. Litter and debris are always present, regardless of the month or time of year. Keeping area and state beaches clean is a task too large and expensive for any single agency. However, since 1986 residents have been able to “adopt” a beach and agree to help keep it clean on a volunteer basis — a concept that many locals believe helps them take ownership of their environment. I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) is the San Diego County coordinator for the statewide “Adopt-A-Beach” program, which is managed by the California Coastal Commission. “We have 5,000 volunteers in San Diego County,” said Morgan Justice-Black, outreach director for ILACSD. “Last year they put in 14,000 hours of service and collected 17,000 pounds (8.5 tons) of debris. For the state of California, there are 20,000 volunteers. So

Dr. Tom Pousti was not in court and both sides say he was unaware of the tax evasion. He is not a suspect, Owens said. Owens said in court the costs of the investigation came to $25,000.

Sabraw said Marjan Pousti could still do very limited duties with the cosmetic business, such as accepting resumes and hiring, but could
San Diego represents one-fourth of the (total number of) volunteers.” San Diego is also unique in that volunteers can also adopt inland parks or openspace areas. Available beaches stretch from Imperial Beach to Oceanside. Parks and open-space areas are within the city of San Diego. “One reason San Diego is so popular for this program is it is open to people of all ages,” JusticeBlack said. “Whether you are 12 or 75 years old, you can be a volunteer.” According to Justice-Black, the pro- Coastal Cleanup volunteers comb the jetty for litter VILLAGE NEWS | KIRBY YAU gram also draws vol- Saturday, Sept. 20. unteers from is an Adopt-A-Beach sign,” she businesses and corporations. “We do have a sign recognition said. “Businesses like that feature program, like when you see an SEE SAND, Page B·4 Adopt-A-Highway sign, except it
have no financial duties. As part of her guilty plea in July, Marjan Pousti admitted she willfully evaded taxes for the 2005 year and under-reported income. She pleaded guilty to the only charge filed against her. Her attorney, Charles La Bella, said earlier that she “voluntarily gave that job up” some time ago and had no role in the cosmetic surgery business. La Bella is the former U.S. Attorney in San Diego. She could have received a maximum term of five years in federal prison and a $100,000 fine, but Sabraw said the guideline
range for her case and circumstances ranged from no time to six months in prison. He noted she had no prior record. The business accepts credit cards and checks, but when cash was paid in 2004 and 2005, Pousti began concealing it by converting it to U.S. Postal Service money orders to pay bills, including mortgage payments, court records say. She used so many Postal Service money orders that it drew attention from U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Internal Revenue Service. ■

because it allows people to see their name as a company that cares about keeping the beaches clean.” Corporate support and involvement also creates other benefits too, she said. “When people see a sign or employees from a large company out cleaning the beaches, it becomes a recruiting tool for ILACSD and for signing up more volunteers,” Justice-Black said. “Also, many companies use the opportunity to clean a beach as a corporate team-building exercise.” Whether it is an individual, a neighborhood group, high school or business, volunteers do have the option to choose the beach they wish to clean —with some possible restrictions. “Belmont Park is a popular choice for some of the obvious reasons,” Justice-Black said. “(There is) lots of parking, bathrooms and places to eat or drink nearby. However, we do not want multiple groups cleaning up the same beach on the same day. We want to make sure all the beaches are being serviced.” She also believes it is important to clarify one common misperception about the volume of trash collected on the beaches. “Not all the trash you see on the beaches is there because of those people actually on the beach,” Justice-Black said. “For example, people who hike in our inland canyons drop litter or debris which will be washed down to the beaches after a rain. This is one reason we moved our program inland to parks and to open

spaces. Now we can collect the debris in the canyons before it travels through the storm drains and reaches the beaches.” The 8-plus tons of trash collected last year is also remarkable, according to Justice-Black, because of the type of litter encountered. “When you realize most of the items being collected are both small and light in weight, the volume collected is incredible,” she said. “We are talking about cigarette butts, Styrofoam cups and plastic items.” Volunteers must commit to three separate cleanups during a 12-month period. A popular option for many volunteers is to schedule their efforts on a quarterly basis. In addition, volunteers are also provided with two bags. One is for items that are recyclable, the other for trash. While there is a paper registration process available for those without a computer or internet access, Justice-Black strongly urges interested volunteers to visit the ILACSD Web site, which provides all necessary details, beginning with registration. This may be accessed by visiting www.cleansd.org. ■

Qualifying rounds for tossers start at 10:45 a.m. Preceding the toss will be the O.B. Brat Trot that will course through the neighborhood. The run is hosted by a chapter of the Hash House Harriers, a social club that describes itself as “a drinking club with a running problem,” according to its Web site. Signups for the race begin at 9 a.m. with the race getting under way at 9:30 a.m. Then it’s a day of stein-holding and bratwursteating contests in between rounds of music and toasts. And as the evening arrives, the winners will take home their prizes and the wurst losers will lick their brat-bruised wounds. Just outside the beer garden, along Newport Avenue, festivalgoers can purchase some nostalgia from the largest antique business district in San Diego as antique stores display their finest wares. Ken Freeman, owner of the Ocean Beach Antique Mall, said October is typically sluggish for the OB antique market. And with reports of consumer confidence flailing alongside the stock market, Freeman said buyers would be smart to invest in an appreciating, future family heirloom birthed by a memory in Ocean Beach. Freeman, who trades in antique jewelry, isn’t bothered that Oktoberfest might overshadow the twice-yearly antique sale. “We support and we stand beside them, and hopefully our event helps them and their events help us,” Freeman said. Craig Gerwig, co-owner of Newport Avenue Antique Center and Coffee House, 4864 Newport Ave., is one of the principle organizers of the antique stores’ sales event. He said the sale helps boost revenues during a typically slow month. The Ocean Beach antique district is known as a place where people can go out antiquing for a day, he said. All types of people come through the beach community, which itself has become a destination within the city for world travelers and locals. “We’re hoping that Oktoberfest is going to bring

a lot of people, and maybe they’ll be driving by and they’ll stop by,” Gerwig said. “We always have a good time.” Pacific Beach residents can also join the fun as shuttles carry oompah lovers from 710 Beach Club at 710 Garnet Ave., and deliver them to the yearly shindig every half hour. The last ride returns to PB at 8:30 p.m. With hundreds of fun seekers expected to converge on Ocean Beach on Saturday, event organizers hope this year’s Oktoberfest will not only help to reinvigorate the local economy but provide a much-needed means of escape, good cheer and camaraderie in troubling times. ■

Oscar-nominated Saoirse Ronan talks about ‘City of Ember’ ern print culture, there’s no radio.
BY JAMES COLT HARRISON | VILLAGE NEWS
Young actress Saoirse (Sheersha) Ronan roared onto the film scene with an Oscar-nominated role in “Atonement” last year. She stole the picture from such actors as Keira Knightly and James McAvoy by playing a vindictive little sister who ruins their chance at love. I visited with Ronan on the set of her extravagant new fantasy film “City of Ember,” from Fox/Walden Pictures in Belfast, Ireland. A huge sound stage was fitted with an elaborate set designed by Martin Laing that represented the entire metropolis. It’s an underground city that is slowly running out of resources and light, and Ronan’s character and her friend Doon must find a way of salvation. Jim Harrison: A lot of people haven’t read the original book. Talk about your character and how you see her in your own head. Saoirse Ronan: Lina is very responsible girl for her age. She’s only about 13, and she has to look after her younger sister Poppy and her granny, who isn’t at a good stage to look after them. So Lina has to take care of them, go to school and then start her new job as a messenger. And she’s very responsible and very determined. And I think once she sees something and knows that it could be important, then she’ll try in the end to find the answer.” JH: The characters have completely different personalities. Your cohort Doon (young Harry Treadaway) is sort of impatient and impulsive. SR: Yeah, I think they have determination in common, but they are completely different. Doon is a very impatient person, whereas Lina has to be patient because she’s got so many things going on in her life that she couldn’t be any other way.
It’s interesting to try to be stripped of modern-day cultural slang ...
JH: Your co-stars are Tim Robbins, veteran actress Liz Smith, Toby Jones, Oscar-winner Martin Landau and Mary Kay Place. So they’re very interesting actors to work with. I’m curious what your experiences have been with Bill Murray. SAOIRSE RONAN ACTRESS SR: I had, I don’t know, maybe four scenes with Bill Murray, but those four scenes I’ll remember for the rest of my life. He continuously makes people laugh. SR: Well, we have our American accents. It’s interesting to try Whenever he’s on set he puts everyone on a high. He’s really to be stripped of modern-day funny and he’s really talented. cultural slang because it’s very much sewn into things the City of He learns his lines but then adds things on and it makes it even Ember hasn’t got: there’s no better. And but, yeah, Bill is magazines, no TV, there’s no internet, there’s no popular mod- great. ■

Mayor Cole (Bill Murray) in the new film “City of Ember.”
a director? Did he help you? SR: What I loved about Gil is that he doesn’t just see it from a director’s point of view. He sees it from the character’s point of view and the actor’s point of view. And that helps us a lot, to know that he understands where we’re coming from, and we also understand where he comes from because we all get along really well together and talk. JH: How is he different from Joe Wright (director of “Atonement”)? SR: I suppose that they direct different kinds of movies, so
they’re going to be different. But I mean, I think that is the only difference. Gil does action movies and adventure and mystery and things like that, and Joe is more romantic with ‘Atonement.’ I think they’re kind of the same, to be honest. I think they both take on things the same way and they both talk to you in the same way. They understand the characters and stuff, and they are pretty much the same, so it’s great to work with them. JH: How does your voice sound — do you speak like this (natural Irish brogue)?
JH: As an actress, does it help for you to be in this environment, building an actual entire city rather than pieces of a set? SR: It’s amazing that it’s all connected, as opposed to little bits around the studio. It’s wonderful. I mean, we’re used to it now. When we came here, it was like ‘oh my gosh!’ but I think it does help because it’s all kind of one and everything is together a like a city. JH: How would you describe Gil Kenan (“Monster House”) as

Tankless is Green If you could save money, extend the life of your water heater, help our environment and never run out of hot water again; would you? If your answer is yes then Tankless Water Heaters are for you.
USE LESS ENERGY Currently the United States is the world's largest energy consumer in the world, and for that reason is also the largest source of global warming pollution. The U.S. emits more carbon dioxide than China, India and Japan, combined. 25% of the carbon dioxide pollution produced by the U.S. comes from fossil-fuel burning. By switching to more energy efficient appliances and equipment, we can reduce the demand for electricity and cut carbon dioxide
pollution from power plants. When it comes to water heating, you won't find a higher performing and highly efficient unit than a Noritz tankless water heater. By eliminating stand-by heat loss alone, energy consumption can be reduced 20% to 30%. Did you know if every tank heater was replaced with a high-efficiency Noritz tankless water heater, North American society alone could annually save; 290 million gallons of fuel oil, 164 million gallons of propane, 6 billion hours of kilowatt electricity.
PRODUCE LESS WASTE It is estimated that 7.3 million traditional tank-based water heaters are disposed into landfills each year in the United States. Keys to preventing the production of

- F R I E N D LY
waste are to practice the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. With a Noritz tankless water heater you can be sure that the 3Rs are in place. REDUCE The most effective way to decrease waste is to prevent it in the first place. Purchasing durable, long lasting products is a means of waste prevention. With a Noritz tankless water heater you can rest assured that you will be getting an extremely durable unit. The average tank water heater has a lifespan of 8-10 years, but a Noritz tankless water heater can last 2-3 times longer.
LIFEST YLE
about replacing the entire unit if there's a malfunction. Just repair the damaged part and your unit is as good as new. With a tank water heater you're more than likely going to have to replace the whole thing. RECYCLE Recycling turns materials that would otherwise turn to waste, into valuable resources. The main components of a Noritz tankless water heater are recyclable, so there will be a significant decrease in waste materials from a Noritz unit.
GLOBAL WARMING REUSE Reusing a product may actually be more beneficial than recycling, because it doesn't require any reprocessing before it can be used again. Every part on a Noritz tankless water heater is replaceable, so you won't have to worry
With the ever growing concern over the threat of Global warming, the time to take action is now. While it's hard to predict the full-scale impact of Global warming it is feared that if measures aren't taken to reduce it within 10 years, catastrophic impacts may be
inevitable. By taking a few simple steps in reducing greenhouse gas, we can all make a difference and reduce the effects of Global warming.
CO2 EMISSION By reducing the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere we can reduce the effects of Global warming significantly. A Noritz tankless water heater is 83%-93% efficient so it reduces over 700 lbs. of CO2 per year. This reduction compared to a tank water heater greatly reduces the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere, and greatly reduces the effects of Global warming.
