SLIDE + ONE YEAR City reopens Soledad Mountain Road on landslide anniversary BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
City officials marked the oneyear anniversary of the Soledad mountain landslide last Thursday, Oct. 16, by reopening Soledad Mountain Road, allowing access between Pacific Beach and La Jolla. When Soledad Mountain Road collapsed at Desert View Drive Oct. 3, 2007, some residents were forced to evacuate, learning that their homes had a history of landslides dating back to 1961. Rupert Adams, geologist with Helenschmidt Geotechnical Inc., worked on the closed road for more than a year with colleagues and other city crews. “The road is now open,” Adams said. “They opened it Wednesday or Thursday last week. The mayor was there. But it’s not quite fully complete.” Though traffic can now travel through Soledad Mountain Road, Adams says work still needs to be completed on Desert View Drive, the alley below Soledad Mountain Road. Adams was investigating the area with other colleagues last October for the City of San Diego after homeowners had noticed distress in nearby roads and called

District 1 debate draws lines BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Candidates for the San Diego City Council District 1 seat expressed their opinions on many of the area’s controversial topics during their first debate since June’s primaries. Democrat Sherri Lightner and Republican Phil Thalheimer expressed their contrasting views regarding many of La Jolla and UC’s most controversial issues, from the Regents Road Bridge project to Hillel’s proposed Jewish student center. But both candidates also agreed on several key points affecting the community during the Oct. 15 debate, held at University City High School. It was sponsored by the University City Community Association and moderated by the League of Women Vot-
ers. Thalheimer, owner of a flight school, agreed with Historical Society member Lightner that the historic Torrey Pines Gliderport should remain operational while still allowing the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine to build its stem cell research center. “As a member of the historical society, I fully support that,” Lightner said. “The stem cell center won’t jeopardize it as much as the 12-story building [proposed] across the street.” “The deal with the stem
cell issue comes down to the crash zone … It can be preserved for both,” Thalheimer said. Both candidates claimed to be proponents of green energy. Lightner advocated “hopping on the green train” with a plan for the future, including partnering with the university, while Thalheimer said he wants the city to purchase fossil fuel vehicles and the university to test electric vehicles. When asked about the Regents Road Bridge project in University City, both candidates said they support more fire stations — one argument used to support the project. But Lightner said she was against the project, while Thalheimer said he would support it. SEE DEBATE, Page 7
the city, when the land collapsed, damaging about 45 homes. Eventually the city razed three homes. The hillsides behind these houses had been slipping into the alley for several years but the homeowners didn’t realize the severity of the situation, said Battalion Chief Bruce Cartelli of the San Diego Fire Rescue Department last October. At about 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2007, Engine Company 16 received an emergency call that Soledad Mountain Road was gaping open. Coincidentally, San Diego Fire Department battalion chiefs and commanders were already on their way to the scene; they said they were concerned about Soledad’s imminent danger and wanted to create a contingency plan, Cartelli said. After the dust settled, homeowners battled with the city over who was responsible for property loss. Attorneys continue litigation against the city. Meanwhile, city crews and specialists planned reconstruction of the landslide. “We’ve been responsible for the investigation and characterization of the landslide as well as all of the stabilization efforts and all the SEE SLIDE, Page 7
Morrison showcases photographer who captured rock’s golden icons BY BART MENDOZA | VILLAGE NEWS
There have been many great photographers specializing in rock ’n’ roll since the genre first captured the public’s imagination. However, only a select handful can claim to have been there at truly historic moments in popular culture. And only one, Ethan Russell, can lay claim to having designed album covers for the Beatles, the Who and the Rolling Stones. In a career that now spans more than four decades, Russell has used his keen eye for imagery for a wide variety of projects. Moving on from still photography, he became a video director, producPHOTO BY ETHAN RUSSELL ing clips for Paul Simon, K.D.

Free marriage workshops offered to soldiers American soldiers returning from overseas — along with their spouses — will soon be able to take advantage of Mission Strong Connections, a series of no-cost marriage workshops held at Liberty Station in Point Loma. The workshops will be facilitated by Wanda Garner, M.S., M.A., and sponsored by Lifewellness Institute and Freedom is Not Free. Mission Strong Connections is
designed for American soldiers who have faced tension, disappointment, conflict and loneliness in their marriages since their return from Iraq and Afghanistan. These workshops are offered free as a way to honor and assist those families who have dedicated themselves to defending the country. Each 2½-day workshop will focus on stepping out of negative communication patterns, expressing wants and needs effectively, and offering comfort and support. The workshops will use “emotionally focused couples therapy,” which research shows to be more than two times more effective than traditional marriage counseling, according to program organizers. Workshops will be held in Point Loma between Oct. 23 and 25, although the exact location is not being released for confidentiality reasons. To register or for more

Making families go homeless — I don’t think that will help.
City officials predicted fireworks, erecting La Jolla’s first police surveillance cameras just days before San Diego Superior Court judge Yuri Hoffman gave a tentative ruling Tuesday on the fate of the harbor seal colony living at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool. “[The judge] gave a tentative ruling on how he’s likely to rule,” said Deputy San Diego City Attorney George Schaefer. “He stated that the seals must be removed immediately.” Hoffman heard an argument to disperse the seals by Paul Kennerson, attorney for swimmer Valerie O’ Sullivan, who first sued the city for allowing the marine mammals to interfere with citizens swimming and diving — a lawsuit Kennerson first won by arguing that the seal colony hindered the purpose of the Children’s Pool 1931 Ellen Browning Scripps trust. But San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre argued that the original ruling — decided by Judge William Pate — said nothing about dispersing seals. Seal activists and divers and swimmers continued to clash recently at the Children’s Pool, said police officers with the San Diego Police Department (SDPD). So the SDPD installed a tower fitted with four cameras overlooking the cove housing the seal colony days before Hoffman’s decision. Police said they will continue to make regular drive-bys at the Children’s Pool to monitor the situation. Meanwhile, Hoffman listened to the attorneys’ arguments, taking them under submission, said Bryan Pease, the Animal Rescue

San Diego police have installed a tower with four cameras at Children’s Pool to monitor interaction between seal activists, divers and swimmers.
and Protection League’s SealWatch attorney. But the judge made a tentative ruling that the city must disperse the seals, Pease said. “[Aguirre] had two arguments: first, that the original injunction by Judge Pate made no reference to the seals and it’s improper to remove the seals without modifying the injunction,” Schaefer said. “Also, on behalf of his client, Kennerson had to produce evidence that a permit [to disperse seals] was unnecessary.” Aguirre told Judge Hoffman that Kennerson did not produce enough evidence to force the city to disperse a seal colony protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, Schaefer said. Attorneys for the city, Animal Protection and Rescue League’s SealWatch, and Kennerson have battled for years regarding the harbor seal colony at La Jolla’s
Children’s Pool. Pate’s previous ruling required the city to dredge the beach and return the area’s water bacteria levels to their previous 1941 levels, according to Pease. Recently, litigation heated up when Kennerson began holding the city legally responsible for the dredging portion of Pate’s order from the 2004 lawsuit, which the city was given six months to complete. Now, Kennerson said, the only way to decrease water bacteria levels is to remove the seal colony. “The judge said that he agrees with me,” Kennerson said. “People have to understand that this case has been to every state level and federal level.” “A judge can order the city to do anything,” Schaefer said. Schaefer said the city attorney’s office plans to appeal Hoffman’s decision if he orders the city to disperse the seals. The original order only talked about dredging the sand, he said. “It requires cleaning the water and reconfiguring the beach by removing the sand. A judgment is a judgment,” Kennerson said. Kennerson and Schafer said they expect Hoffman to send his order soon in writing. “Aguirre said our office will be filing an appeal if we’re ordered to remove the seals, but if we’re not successful we’ll have to comply,” Schaefer said. Hoffman scheduled another hearing for Friday, Oct. 24 at 1:30 p.m. Schaefer said the judge wants an update on dredging permits from the city, and the city attorney’s office said it will attempt to remove Kennerson’s client, who moved to New Zealand, from the case. ■

Triathlon Challenge, the grass at La Jolla Cove will turn into a twisted version of “Gilligan’s Island” for the Tour de Cove, Hinton said. Competitors will participate in a nonstop spin class from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. “There’s about 80 spin bikes on the lawn to raise money,” Hinton said. “It’s a ‘Gilligan’s Island’ theme. Riders ride for four hours.” The Tour de Cove spin-a-thon will end at 1:30 p.m. with a special presentation, Hinton said, although the party will continue. Families
will have several options during the day. “There’s a family fun zone with jumpys and face painters and all that fun stuff,” Hinton said. “There’s also a Kaiser Permanente Thrive K 2-mile walk, starting at La Jolla Shores, and it finishes at the Cove.” The fun zone will be open for families throughout the day, Hinton said. Hinton said families can still register for $15 for the 2-mile walk at www.challengedathletes.org. ■

“I do not support Regents Road [Bridge] because it will not deliver what has been promised,” Lightner said. Lightner said South UC needs fire safety now. “I agree. This area needs fire safety,” Thalheimer said. “I believe the bridge warrants the support.” While both candidates said they would support the Chargers, within fiscal reason, the two disagreed on the Jewish student center Hillel, a project the organization proposed to build at La Jolla Village Drive. “I support Hillel fully, but a single family residential zone is not the place. It belongs in a multi-family, multi-use zone,” Lightner said. “They need to go ahead and build it,” Thalheimer said. “I support it. I was a director on Hillel … It has to be within walking distance from the school.” Although city council seats are technically nonpartisan, recent data from the registrar of voters showed a shift in party registration over the past year. The shift represents a Republican lack of interest nationally and may help Lightner get elected in a tradition-

Frye also made a motion that the council consider a “no” vote on Prop. 6, a measure about law enforcement funding and criminal penalties. Both Young and Frye said Prop. 6 contained a requirement that entire families could be evicted from government housing if one member of the family has a criminal record. The committee voted 5-0 to recommend the council oppose Prop. 6. “Making families go homeless — I don’t think that will help,” Frye said. The City Council will consider both propositions later this month. The council has already voted to recommend a “yes” vote on Prop. 2 about humane conditions for farm animals raised for food. ■

Termed-out District 1 City Councilman Scott Peters is a Democrat. From November 2007 to September 2008, the District 1 Republican Party added 43 voters, while the Democratic Party added 3,416 voters, according to data gathered from the Registrar of Voters and provided by Bruce Lightner, of Sherri Lightner’s San Diego City Council District 1 campaign. While this surge didn’t swing the parties, creating a majority of Democratic voters in District 1, it leveled the political playing field. Currently District 1 contains 36

percent registered Republicans to 34 percent registered Democrats. There may be myriad reasons for the increase in Democratic voter registrations, Kousser said, including a four-year voting registration cycle to an increase in the Democratic Party’s bank account to Republicans changing parties or declining to state. But Kousser said the Republican-leaning area is transitioning to a more Democratic community as more workers move into the area, taking biotech jobs instead of traditionally conservative roles such as attorneys. “This is a kind of loss for Repub-
licans,” Kousser said. “This is consistent with what we see overall. The Democrats are excited about this election and the party has a lot of money to register new voters.” After speaking with people inside the Democratic Party, Lightner agreed with Kousser’s sentiment. “There has been a push by the Democratic Party to register Democratic voters to get the [Barack] Obama vote out,” Lightner said. But Thalheimer is endorsed by several prominent Republicans, including Mayor Jerry Sanders,
Congressman Brian Bilbray and Senator Mark Wyland. He promised to eliminate wasteful spending and said his first job would be public safety. District 1 includes La Jolla, Bird Rock, University City, Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights, Rancho Penasquitos, Rose Canyon, UCSD, Torrey Pines, Torrey Hills, Sorrento Valley, Sorrento Hills, and the Lower San Dieguito River Valley.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 23, 2008 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
COUNCIL CORNER
Looking back at eight great years in UC BY SCOTT PETERS
e’ve accomplished a lot together during my two terms serving as your City Council representative. The work has been challenging, rewarding and productive. In University City, we have built or improved local parks and a wonderful new library, and completed roads and other infrastructure improvements will serve our neighborhoods for years to come. Because the north part of the community is significantly newer than the south, ours has been a kind of Tale of Two University Cities. When I took office, North University City was following its long-standing plan to become the region’s secondlargest urban mixed-use center, though residents were concerned that developer fees were not being invested in the community quickly enough. In South University City, and typical of similarly aged, fully developed San Diego neighborhoods, it was harder to fund remedies for aging infra-structure, underequipped parks and other effects of poor planning. Additionally, residents sought to resolve the decadesold debate over another connector road between the northern and southern parts of the community. We got to work right away, to address both sides’ needs. In keeping with your wishes and my commitment to protecting open space and enhancing quality of life, we have built or improved five parks in University City. Our biggest project, Nobel Park and Library, features a fully equipped park and recreation area and a world-class community library. Accompanied by the many friends and supporters of the project, including the University City Planning Group and Friends of North University Community Branch Library, we celebrated the complex’s completion in September 2007. Some of the park improvements have been smaller, though no less important. We’ve installed new playground equipment at University Gardens and Standley parks, added a comfort station at University Gardens, and new restrooms, benches and an off-leash dog area at Doyle Park. These popular parks serve thousands of children and community members each year. I’ve worked throughout my two terms to relieve congestion

on University City’s streets and highway connectors. We’ve managed to complete much of the long-awaited infrastructure needs. We widened and improved La Jolla Village Drive and Genesee Avenue to ease traffic flow, protect bicycle and pedestrian access, and beautify the gateways to two of our most prestigious community institutions, UCSD and Scripps Memorial. Our most challenging issue was the decision to go forward on the approval of the Regents Road Bridge, always part of the University City Community Plan. I’ve never experienced a debate so contentious, with both sides forwarding valid and persuasive arguments. When I took office, I vowed to resolve the situation. In August 2006, after an exhaustive community participation and environmental impact review process, the issue came before City Council. Dozens of community members, representing both sides, spent the day with us in the City Council chambers, testifying and witnessing our deliberations. Those who couldn’t attend phoned, e-mailed and sent letters. Ultimately, the City Council voted to move forward with the bridge, though a final decision awaits results of an additional environmental review. The bridge is part of the community plan; it will help relieve traffic congestion. Our police and fire chiefs support its construction because it will improve response time and assist with emergency evacuations. We added measures to enhance the recreational value of Rose Canyon, which is treasured by many. We’re working on the design now. I hope the community will continue to participate in these processes and that we can build a vital community connection while protecting our canyon environment and preserving the quality of life in our community. It’s been an honor to work with you and a privilege to serve as Council President. Next month, I will share my vision and goals for the future of University City. — District 1 City Councilman and Council President Scott Peters contributes a monthly Council Corner column highlighting City Hall happenings pertinent to the communities of La Jolla and University City. ■

Wading through the ballot with the League of Women Voters Joe-the-plumber may be the answer found in crossword puzzles in the near and far future, but will he be in your lexicon after a week? Who’s the Holland, Ohio symbol used in the McCain/Obama third and final presidential debate? Thirteen letters across: Joetheplumber. What blue-collar worker challenged Barack Obama about his taxing small business people making more than $250,000? Thirteen letters down: Joetheplumber. Who owed back taxes to Ohio and practiced his job as a plumber without a license? This answer could prove to be very difficult. Thirteen letters across: SoManyOhioans. Joe the plumber has become a humorous respite from the tense campaigning for president. “In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” (Andy Warhol). Don’t you just love it when the little guy/gal gets the attention nationally? You know that the media will trip over its shoelaces to get this kind of story, not to mention block the street of the “15-minute-famous-one” with equipment and vans. Joe the plumber is a lighter moment in an election that some describe as “hold your nose and vote.” Nationally, there’s a group of unsung heroines who give time, talent and energy to enlightening the electorate without taking a partisan stand. Locally, the League of Women Voters spent volunteer time helping enlighten voters about the candidates for District 1 City Council seat. The League moderated a political forum sponsored by University City Community Association and co-sponsored by La Jolla Village News Oct. 15 at University City High School. No Joe the plumber ploy was used by either City Council candidate at U.C. High. Although the presidential debates on TV conflicted with this live political forum featuring Ms. Lightner and Mr. Thalheimer, approximately 200 people filled the high school auditorium to hear questions posed by audience members to both Sherri Lightner and Phil Thalheimer. It was democracy in action. You could have been in a small Iowa or Pennsylvania town. Shirley Larson, the League of Women Voters moderator, came out swinging when she asked that first question so near and dear to the hearts of University City residents: “What is your position on the Regents Road bridge?” To their credit, Lightner and Thalheimer didn’t dance around the question. Lightner is opposed to the bridge and doesn’t see it helping alleviate traffic on Genesee, but her goal is to get a fire station in South U.C. While Thalheimer was opposed to the Regents Road bridge in his 2004 campaign for City Council against incumbent Scott Peters, he now is clearly in favor of it. He remembered being in gridlock on a highway during the October wildfires. On Saturday, Oct. 18, in the hall of Good Samaritan Church at Genesee and Eastgate Mall, the League of Women Voters spent two hours explaining the ballot propositions to a group of curious voters. The League spokeswoman helped the group members wade through the lengthy propositions with the caveat that each voter should see who was behind the proposition that probably cost between $4 million and $5 million to get on the ballot. The League lady reminded the group
A View from Route 52 By Sandy Lippe
that bonds get paid back first before anything else in California. Proposition 1A deals with a high-speed rail system. Are you for or against it? Will the price tag suit your needs or anger you? Prop 2 wants “certain farm animals to be allowed, for the majority of every day, to fully extend their limbs or wings, lie down, stand up and turn around.” Interestingly, pro and con signatures are from U.C. Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Prop 3 is about a $980 million bond for capital improvement bonds at children’s hospitals. Prop 61, from a former election, has only spent half of the money allocated. Jim Holman, owner of the San Diego Reader, is behind Prop 4, notifying a parent of a pregnant minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion. It’s a hot-button issue that is bringing out supporters and detractors in heated arguments. In 1987 a notification law passed, but the courts threw it out since it invaded privacy, according to the
League of Women Voters. With seven pages of explanation and 20 pages of text, Prop 5 reads like a Russian novel. Backed by George Soros, Prop 5 allocates $460 million annually to expand treatment programs. It “limits court authority to incarcerate offenders who commit certain drug crimes, break drug treatment rules or violate parole.” Prison overcrowding and recidivism would decrease, according to supporters of Prop 5, but those against it see the status quo working. Henry Nichols paid for Props 6 and 9 to be on the ballot. His sister was killed at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Both propositions strengthen police and law enforcement funding, criminal penalties and laws. Prop 6 has a $965 million price tag each year as well as 30 revisions to California criminal law. Prop 9 would give crime victims a lot more rights to participation in public criminal proceedings and payment of restitution. Opponents see money taken from the general fund shortchange schools, healthcare and fire protection. Peter Sperling, the Arizona billionaire son of the founder of the University of Phoenix, has funded Prop 7, requiring governmentowned utilities to generate 20 percent of their renewable energy by 2010, with 40 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2025. With eight pages of explanations and nine pages of laws, this is another complex proposition to ponder. What is in it for Peter Sperling? Prop 8 eliminates the right of
same-sex couples to marry and changes the California Constitution. In 2000, Prop 22, stating that marriage should be between a man and woman, passed by 61 percent, but the court overturned it. Are all Californians equal under the law or should marriage be only between a man and woman? Props 10, 11 and 12 discuss renewable energy, redistricting and farm and home aid for veterans, respectively. T. Boone Pickens is behind Prop 10. Prop 11 sets up a new commission to change boundaries for state Assembly, state Senate and Board of Equalization rather than leave it to the partisan Legislature. Finally, Prop 12 would issue $900 million in general obligation bonds for loans for veterans’
farm and house purchases. How many readers take the time to tune out the angry talkshow political pundits and sit down to read these propositions? There are more propositions to wade through: A, B, C, D and S. How many people check to see who’s behind getting these propositions on the ballot? Besides, one might ask what the heck those gals and guys we elect do in Sacramento. Do all these propositions belong on the ballot or should the Legislature be legislating some of them? Voting is a great privilege, however, and we’ll see you at the polls Nov. 4. Maybe we can peek over Joe the plumber’s shoulder and see whom he voted for. Probably not. Too many news folks will be in the way. ■

Music, as always, was the focus of this year’s “Minding the Arts,” but to whet the appetite there was an array of food stands (a few fewer than usual) on the terrace of the Neurosciences Institute prior to the concertizing. Pacific Coast Harmony, the San Diego Youth Symphony and the highly popular pianist, Gustavo Romero, were on the program. Purveyors included Sammy’s, with pizza — what else? — Pamplemousee with bread pudding, and Gourmet Group Catering with desserts, plus pastas from TK & A and mini mango-spacho martinis from Personal Chef Betsy G. Just the reverse at Bird Rock’s Maitre D’, where food starred and many of the attendees sampled the ambience and hors d’oeuvres like caviar, smoked salmon served with champagne and an open bar, orchestrated by genial host and owner Louis Zalesjak, for the first time there. The restaurant has been a fixture for 20-some years, drawing diners by word of mouth to this elegant bit of old Europe on La Jolla Boulevard. As to the business that brought in the crowds that evening, it was the monthly meeting of the Bird Rock Community Council with an agenda encompassing neighborhood watch, traffic calming and updates on other projects. When it was over, Louis had another surprise for the crowd, when servers brought out cold lobster tails — yummo! Business aside, Louis won many new fans that night.

Dengue Fever will heat The Loft BY BART MENDOZA | VILLAGE NEWS
As difficult as it is for indie bands to make an impact these days, imagine how much harder it is for non-English-speaking artists in the U.S. Despite the popularity of world music, such groups are inadvertently relegated to novelty status, with limited airplay options and even more limited opportunities to showcase their music. One group that’s managing to break those barriers in a big way, with a mix of Cambodian pop and rock, is Dengue Fever. The six-piece, Los Angeles-based sextet performs Saturday, Oct. 25 at The Loft, UCSD campus. The band’s performance will be part of a short tour promoting a new documentary about the band, “Sleepwalking through the Mekong.” The evening will include a screening of the film, which details Dengue Fever’s 2005 trip to Cambodia, a question-and-answer session and a concert. Formed in 2001 by brothers Zac and Ethan Holtzman after inspiration struck during a visit to Cambodia, the band now includes vocalist Chhom Nimol, bassist Senon Williams, brass player David Ralicke and drummer Paul Smith. “We’re playing colleges because this is more of a cultural event than a straight concert,” Smith said. “Even if you’re not a fan of the band, it works well with its mix of images and music.” The group, which performs songs in the Khmer language as well as English, released its selftitled debut album in 2003.

them to San Diego, including stops at The Casbah and this year’s Street Scene. The year 2005 brought the group’s second album, “Escape from Dragon House,” but it’s with their current disc, “Venus on Earth,” that they’ve made the biggest impact. Now signed to music legend Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records outside the U.S., Dengue Fever is poised to make a worldwide impact. Unusual for a band together seven years, the original membership remains intact. “We just work really well together,” Smith explained. “It’s a good overall experience,” he added with a laugh. While he’s grateful for Dengue Fever’s current success, Smith admits he originally thought the band’s options would be far more limited. “I was skeptical at first, as is my nature,” he said. “ I really enjoyed the music, but I didn’t think it
would have as much universal appeal as it turned out to have.” Smith is particularly surprised by the group’s use in such programs as “Saturday Night Live,” where their music turned up in a comedic skit satirizing North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. “That really was unexpected. We just started getting calls from friends letting us know it was a great surprise,” a still-incredulous Smith said. The group’s music has also shown up in the TV series “Weeds” as well as the 2002 Matt Dillon film “City of Ghosts.” However, his biggest point of pride is the appearance of their song, “Escape from Dragon House,” in an episode of the same name on the HBO program “True Blood.” “It was amazing to have the song in there played on the radio. It was written into the script,” he commented.

SPOTLIGHT ON SENIORS Useful dialogues: listening and really hearing
Chateau La Jolla Inn Chateau La Jolla Inn is a residential community with the best value in full service retirement living and located in the heart of La Jolla, only half a block from the ocean. Amenities include: spacious apartments with kitchenettes, fine dining, activities. Free secure garage parking, free transportation, weekly housekeeping and free laundry facilities. There is also 24hour concierge and emergency on-call nurse 24/7. Rent includes full American breakfast (hot and cold buffet) and all utilities (even cable TV), except telephone. One bedroom apartments priced low. No costly buy-ins or endowments.
In any communication between two people, each one evaluates, accepts, rejects, classifies or assimilates what the other is saying. We all have a tendency to hear what pleases us, or what we think the other will say, preoccupied as we are by our own response — we often don’t really listen. One of the pleasures of conversation is to talk about oneself, each believing that the other is fascinated by the tale. We need a public. But there are times when a friend has a problem, and rather than listen and then respond with a “me too, I had the same problem” and go on to a recitation, it is more useful to really try to help. How to be really helpful takes the following steps into account. First, you should encourage the friend to state the problem with no interruptions, but possibly with head noddings, uh-huhs, “I see,” or “I understand.” Second, you ask questions to clarify your understanding, such as “what do you mean by this,” “tell me more about…,” “what do you make of it,” “why do you think it happened,” “what part might you have played in it,” “have you thought of a solution.” Perhaps your friend has already tried to resolve the problem; if so, with what results?

or over 20 years Sunrise Senior Living has been committed to caring for seniors with memory disorders. Our innovative approach to dementia and Alzheimer’s care has gained national recognition. We call it Reminiscence. It is an ongoing program that helps stimulate the memories and senses of senior residents with memory impairments. We provide a personal-
ized environment for each resident based on love and dignity. And we back it with ongoing evaluations and quality improvement efforts to ensure the highest standards in the assisted-living industry. Since 1981, Sunrise Senior Living has been serving seniors. We started with a simple vision — to create a new approach to senior living that empha-
sizes a better quality of life. Most of all, we take living personally — starting with some of the most big-hearted staff you’ll find anywhere. We also offer a variety of living arrangements, amenities and services and personalized assistance and care. In short, we’re there to help you or your loved one live the life they choose.
Making a Plan for the Later Years he number of Americans over 65 is expected to exceed 71 million by T 2020, and demand is growing for aging experts in every field, from law to fitness training to relocation. But many family members don’t know how, or live too far away, to find and manage help for aging parents. That’s where geriatric care managers come in. They serve as guides through the myriad of problems families encounter. They help families find the right home care, write care plans, assess
the abilities of the older person and help find living options. Technically, anyone can call themselves a geriatric care manager. But the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers requires all new members to hold one of four certifications. Among them is “care manager certified,” that requires several years of supervised experience and a fourhour exam. All the care managers at Innovative
Healthcare Consultants, Inc. are RN’s. All are familiar with the physical, emotional and social issues of aging, as well as with local resources. In addition, Innovative has the Home Care Aide Organization Certification issued by the CA Association for Health Services at Home.

Christy Yael and Sean Cox in Cygnet’s “Dying City.”
Craig’s identical twin. An actor, he’s just walked out after Act I of “A Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” in which he portrays Edmund, the dying son. In scenes that alternate between Kelly’s last evening with Craig and her present conversations with Peter, the audience learns bit by tantalizing bit about their families and interpersonal relationships, each with the other and the others. And yet, each has secrets that are for us to decipher after the curtain falls. In subtle ways Cox differentiates his twins, though there is little evidence in Shinn’s script of the camaraderie that Kelly and Peter shared. Craig is the more perplexing man, and yet Peter is so complex and needy. As for Yael, one still anticipates her breakthrough into something different from the moist-eyed neurotics she plays so easily. There
were hints of something more in Compass’ recent, wonderful “Three Days of Rain.” Without question, Shinn is a young playwright to watch. His “Dying City” is another example of those chewy kinds of plays Cygnet loves, plays that leave one to explore character, culpability, mystery and motivations, and to question the deeper meaning of whatever the heck that was. Whatever that was, the subject could not be timelier. Credit is due to Gercke for the brilliantly ironic television news finale (sound design by Matt Lescault-Wood, lighting design by Eric Lotze). “Dying City” continues at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday at Cygnet’s Rolando stage, 6663 El Cajon Blvd. No. N.

COAST ACUPUNCTURE MIGRAINES
BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
New York playwright Christopher Shinn writes rat-a-tat dialogue. Like David Mamet, he depends on the listener to fill in the blanks between the lines. Motivations and mysteries clamor for attention in the pauses. A case in point is “Dying City,” which premiered in March 2007 at Lincoln Center Theatre. Staged by Cygnet Theatre’s associate artistic director Francis Gercke, the West Coast premiere is seen at Cygnet’s Rolando venue through Oct. 26. The action, set in January and July of 2004, takes place in New York psychotherapist Kelly’s Lower Manhattan apartment, from which, as newlyweds, she and her husband Craig watched events of 9/11, sitting on the sofa and holding one another. At curtain, the obviously depressed Kelly is packing Craig’s books and watching TV. A sheet and a pillow are stuffed into a corner of the sofa, indicating that may be where she’s slept since the military arrived unannounced to deliver the news of Craig’s Iraq death, the exact cause of which is a mystery. The bell rings. Kelly (Christy Yael) starts. It’s her gay brotherin-law Peter (Sean Cox, who also portrays Craig), whom she hasn’t seen since the funeral. He is

Vikes, Torreys tackle victories; UC falls 48-21 BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Both La Jolla High and La Jolla Country Day School used last weekend to start or tune up for league play this weekend. La Jolla High (3-3) opened up Western League play on the road last Friday with a 17-7 victory at Hoover. Trailing 7-0 entering the third quarter, La Jolla kicker Lee Abelkop recovered his own onside kick, and the Vikings had good field position for the first time all afternoon. The Viking offense moved the ball down the field behind runs of nine and six yards from senior Robbie Beathard and 12 yards from junior Matt Petch. After the drive stalled, Abelkop nailed a 33-
yard field goal to cut the lead to 73. La Jolla’s offensive line took control in the fourth quarter as juniors Jose Avilas and Cameron Holmes, and seniors Hans Baker, Francisco Garcia and Shane Greco, opened holes for Beathard, Petch and senior Victor Rangel. After a run of 32 yards by Rangel, senior quarterback Henry Nawahini hit junior tight end Taylor Davis on a 25-yard crossing route. Beathard punched it in from eight yards out to give the Vikings the lead for good. La Jolla added another score when Petch ran it in from six yards out. As they did much of the afternoon, La Jolla defensive coach Rey Hernandez’s defense turned

Hoover away and held the Cardinals to seven points. Hoover’s last drive was ended by a nice overthe-shoulder interception by senior defensive back Kitt Livingstone. The Viking defense was up to the Hoover challenge all afternoon and
limited the Cardinals to just 159 yards of total offense. Senior defensive lineman Jonathan Flores dominated the inside holes and contributed five solo tackles and two assists for the game. Beathard also had five tackles and two assists on the defensive side of the ball, Nawahini had four solo tackles and four assists, and Davis contributed four tackles and two assists. On the offensive side, Rangel finished the afternoon with 93 yards on nine carries, and Beathard had 70 yards on 15 carries. Nawahini completed 6 of 13 passes for 69 yards. “I was disappointed on how we came out of the bye week so flat,” La Jolla High head coach Dave Ponsford commented. “Every time
we got something going in the first half, we would get a penalty and have to punt. We can’t wait until the second half to show up to play football games, not with the league teams still on the schedule. But, it is very nice to start our league quest out with a win.” La Jolla will visit Serra High this Friday night at 6:30 p.m. Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School (4-2) scored early and often en route to a 55-0 win over Sage Hill last Friday evening. Injuries to starting QB Derek Hatfield and to backup Ruben Pena resulted in JV QB Grayson Tucker getting his first varsity start. To make starting at QB in the sixth football game of his life even more of a challenge, Tucker played the game with a padded cast on his left, non-throwing hand (he joined a small group of fellow teammates in singing the national anthem just before kickoff). “Despite making a few firstgame mistakes, Grayson was cool and collected as he led his team to the win and he connected on 9 of 18 passes for 127 yards with two interceptions,” LJCD head coach Jeff Hutzler noted. Running back Montell Allen delivered for the Torreys with 136 yards rushing and two TDs on 18 carries. Back Frankie Brown chipped in with 61 yards and a TD, while Connor Gerhart gained 31 yards and a TD on two carries and receiver Kees Thompson took the ball around the end 25 yards for a TD. RB Mike Salas also added a rushing touchdown. Eastin Reaume had five catches for 52 yards and Thompson added three for 60 yards. LJCD’s defense was led by Doug Rogers with six tackles and a sack, Indie Lavarias with four tackles, Allen with five tackles, Alex Papageorge with five tackles, Blake Mohseni with four tackles and a sack and Gerhart with five tackles. Thompson added a 60-yard punt return for a TD, while Zack Wolfenson added five PATs and two field goals (31, 39 yards). Hunter Khaleghi scored his first varsity points when he hit two second-half PATs. LJCD opens Pacific League play versus Calipatria at home Friday night at 7 p.m. Finally, University City High (1-5) got a TD run and pass (BJ Cabucanan scored the touchdown) from Skyler Dougherty, but it was not enough in a 48-21 loss to Serra High last weekend. Andrew Swasey added a sixyard TD run for UC, which travels to Point Loma on Friday. ■

Key players to date have included Alison Klein in singles, and Darcey Elliott and Tali Gires in doubles. “For a brand-new team, this team has done extremely well,” Mulkins said. “The only loss for us in league has been to Cathedral. I am hoping for a continuation of the fabulous play from my young players, and I know every year with these young players will be better and better.” In other recent action, University City High dropped a pair of matches, falling to Our Lady of Peace (16-2) and to Cathedral Catholic (16-2).
The La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School girls tennis team captured two of three matches in recent league and non-league play. LJCD topped Tri-City Christian 16-2, lost to Torrey Pines 14-1 and defeated Francis Parker 9-9 (82-70 in games).

Despite being powered by the play of senior running backs Jacob Kelly (20 carries, 103 yards, 2 TDs) and Mike Jensen (14 carries, 88 yards, 1 TD), among others, The Bishop’s School Knights weren’t quite able to get past Francis Parker in suffering a tough 31-23 loss to the Lancers in Coastal League football action last Friday, Oct. 17 at La Jolla’s Gene Edwards Stadium. Bishop’s got on the scoreboard first on the opening possession of the game when Kelly scored on a 2-yard touchdown run to give the Knights an early 7-0 lead with 6:57 left in the first quarter. The Bishop’s drive covered 80 yards and featured a nice 49-yard pass completion to junior tight end-kicker Justin Peabody (2 PATs, 1 FG) from freshman quarterback Joey Moreno (6 of 10, 101 yards, 1 INT). The Knights would come right back and score once again on their second possession of the contest as Peabody converted a 35-yard field goal to boost the Bishop’s bulge to 10-0 with 2:02 remaining in the first period. Runs of 21 and 23 yards by Jensen were key to helping highlight the 61-yard matriculation down the field by the Knights. It turned out that Bishop’s would be in for quite a fight on this night, as Francis Parker answered back on the very next possession. Junior quarterback Deon Randall capped a 78-yard Lancer drive with a 15yard touchdown run to pull Parker to within 10-7 with 9:59 left in the second quarter.

downs. First, Kelly knifed his way into the end zone from 3 yards out for the Knights. Then, Randall responded by tossing a 28-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Roland Jackson to make the score 17-14 in favor of Bishop’s heading into the locker room at halftime. After the intermission, it was more of the same as Randall and senior wide receiver Myles Muagututia (4 catches, 109 yards, 1 TD) took matters into their own hands for the Lancers. Randall reached paydirt on a 19-yard scoring romp in the third quarter and then proceeded to throw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Muagututia in the fourth quarter to put Parker out in front 28-17. With 5:28 remaining in the fourth period, Jensen showed his
school pride by jousting the Lancers on a 1-yard touchdown run to trim the margin to 28-23 for the Knights. Unfortunately for Bishop’s, that would be as close as they would get as Francis Parker sophomore Matt Wile (2 PATs, 1 FG) whacked a 33-yard field goal with 1:44 left in the fourth quarter to pretty much seal the victory for the Lancers. “We stuck together the whole way through to the very end,” Jensen said. “We fought and battled hard all game long. We figure the wins will come if we just keep playing hard.” With the win, Francis Parker improves to 5-1 overall and 1-0 in the Coastal League. Meanwhile, the Knights saw their record fall to 4-3 overall and 0-1 in Coastal League play. ■

Prop S rings bell for school repairs BY ANTHONY GENTILE | VILLAGE NEWS
Although the choosing of a new president headlines the elections on Nov. 4, a proposition at the bottom of the ballot is important to San Diego schools. Proposition S is the San Diego School Repair and Safety Measure. If it is passed, the San Diego Unified School District will issue $2.1 billion in general obligation bonds to make physical repairs and upgrade technology to schools within the district, with the aim to make schools safer and more advanced. The proposition requires 55 percent of the vote to pass. If Proposition S passes, five area schools will receive upgrades, including Bird Rock, La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary schools and La Jolla and University City high schools. In terms of technological upgrades, each of those schools will have wireless Internet networks installed and there will be audiovisual projection capabilities for every student. Other areas of upgrade with the passing of the bond are designed to support student health and safety, improve school accessibility, adhere to code compliances and repair or replace outdated buildings and other physical aspects of the school. These projects would be undertaken at each school. If Proposition S passes, it will be the second time in 10 years that San Diego voters passed a bond designated for school repairs. In 1998, 78 percent of voters approved Proposition MM, which gave district schools $1.51 billion to modernize existing schools and build new schools. According to the Education for Children Web site, Proposition MM is 98 percent completed at
$82 million less than its original budget. In addition, Proposition MM won the San Diego County Taxpayers Association’s Grand Golden Watchdog Award in 2005 for efficiently using taxpayer dollars. “We felt overall that the performance on Prop MM was good,” said John C. O’Neill, chair of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association. The way that Proposition S is written makes it an extension of Proposition MM. This means Proposition MM’s maximum taxable rate of $66.70 per $100,000 of assessed value will not increase. It also means that citizens will continue to be taxed for the next couple of decades to pay for the school repairs. San Diego County Ta x p a y e r s Association policy analyst Chris State said the bond has a 40year repayment period. A decade after it was passed Proposition MM is considered successful, but there were some allegations of corruption involved with it. Pat Flannery, an accountant and real estate broker in San Diego County who cowrote the ballot argument opposing Proposition S, said that the abuses of Proposition MM took the form of potential conflicts of interest when the building contracts were awarded. “My opinion is that they squandered that on big contracts and massive favoritism,” Flannery said. In order to avoid potential corruption this time around, Proposition S has accountability safeguards written into it. These include evaluation of needs, bond issuance limitation, an independent citizens oversight committee, and annual perforSEE PROP S, Page B·4

from the painting auctions. Fifty percent of the proceeds goes to the artists and 50 percent goes to the fund.” Plein air artists will begin setting up their canvases around the Torrey Pines State Reserve just days before the events begin. The public is invited to wander the area to observe the painters working, Johnson said. The artists will work through Saturday night, when officials will choose plein air artworks to feature at an awards dinner. Attendees then can start bidding on their favorite paintings beginning Saturday evening, with a lastchance auction during a picnic on Sunday. “The artists are so down-toearth and fun and you can see them apply their craft,” Johnson said. “You can go and see them SEE CRAFT, Page B·3

BUSINESS Port approves marina parking structure BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
The Unified Port of San Diego’s board of directors unanimously approved on Oct. 7 the construction of a 424-space parking structure along North Harbor Drive. Construction has started as part of a bigger project that includes marina improvements and a restaurant in the area. The board also gave the goahead for marina developers to come up with a paid-parking management plan for the area, according to port documents. The parking structure, slated to be built at the site of the former Westy’s lumberyard at 4975 N. Harbor Drive, is part of the second phase of a two-phase project planned for America’s Cup Harbor. The first phase includes marinarelated offices, the construction of a restaurant, a 16,000-square-foot park, short-term anchoring for “dock and dine” services and an additional 50 boat slips, said Marguerite Elicone, a port district rep-

resentative. The first phase is complete, Elicone said. The second phase also includes a third building that will augment the parking structure with commercial space at the bottom and parking above, according to design plans and port officials. “Phase 2 of the Marina Green project has already begun and is scheduled for completion in December 2010,” Elicone said. Plans call for a multistory parking structure that includes a mar-
ket, wind-powered electricity generators and solar energy panels. The Unified Port of San Diego stands to gain more than $450,000 in rent and fees from the parking structure, according to estimates. The company that will operate the structure has not been identified, port officials said. The projects are part of an effort by marina owners, developers and investors to redevelop sections of North Harbor Drive to include additional parking elsewhere. Some Point Loma residents, however, have said the projects aren’t needed. “They’re going to tear up and narrow [North] Harbor Drive for a period of six to nine months. The curved lane from Scott Street will be permanently gone — all to add about 185 paid parking spaces along North Harbor Drive,” said longtime Point Loma resident Tom Delahanty.

mance and financial audits. The San Diego County Taxpayers Association recommends voting “yes” on Proposition S. O’Neill was one of the signers in favor of the proposition. “We have a number of criteria that we apply to school bonds and it satisfied that criteria,” O’Neill said. The Taxpayers Association’s criteria for school bonds include need for the project, viability of the plans, proper oversight of the project and realistic timeframes and schedules. The association looked only at the school bonds themselves, not at how this funding could be applied elsewhere. “It would be difficult to put any other need higher than schools,” O’Neill said. “That’s really a value judgment. We didn’t weigh it against other needs of the city.” Education for Children is another organization in favor of Proposition S. It claims the schools’ needs are imminent, especially those in the city. “Most of San Diego city schools

Ask Aubrey
Q. Are we in a Recession?
A.
Although there is some speculation that the US economy entered a reces-
sion in late 2007, GDP results for 2008 indicate otherwise. The classic definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. According to the National Bureau of Economic statistics, GDP increased 3.7% for the first half of 2008. What we do know is that the stock markets are in a bear market cycle. Every seven to ten years we experience a bear market - a drop of 20% or more which normally separates investors from their money. The current markets are indeed down more than that from the peak in October 2007. The previous bear market, a result of the crash of tech stocks, lasted 2 ½ years. Will we see a further decline? Only the crystal ball knows for sure. Sometimes it’s hard to remember and accept the fact that the stock market is risky and volatile. What we are currently experiencing is a reality check. Remember, a long-term perspective is the key to building wealth. The good thing about bear markets is they eventually end and a patient bargain hunter, like Warren Buffet, may find exceptional value in the company of bears.
These are selected questions Aubrey receives each Saturday on the radio.

are over 40-plus years old and they are deteriorating from the inside out,” said Will Tate, Education for Children media director. Tate said education spending should be first and foremost even with the city’s current budget crisis. “There’s always a need to be fixed somewhere,” Tate said. “Every time we have a fiscal problem, it always hurts education.” If passed, the $2.1 billion will go to San Diego Unified School District schools even though public school enrollment has declined overall over the past several years, despite a slight bump upward during the past two years. Despite that fact, Tate said passing a bond such as Proposition S is a better option than school consolidation, which would create logistical problems for many students. “Children should be able to go to schools in their own neighborhood,” Tate said. If Proposition S fails, Education for Children claims that further attempts to attain school funding via the vote will only cost more. “In 2010, by every estimate that we have, it is going to cost $250 million more,” Tate said. “It is more fiscally expedient to get it done right now.” In addition to a greater cost, pushing these education bonds to a later election would not solve the pressing issues with district schools. The most pressing of these issues is a lack of technology, which can compromise a student’s education. “The children are the future. We have to invest in the children’s education for the future,” Tate said. “We’re becoming unable to compete.”
BUSINESS Flannery said there are many reasons that voters should vote against Proposition S. One argument against Proposition S is that right now the city itself needs the money more than the schools. “We don’t know exactly what we are facing with the city’s finances,” Flannery said. “But we know it’s bad.” Flannery cited the city’s pension crisis and its drop in overall revenue as two of the many issues San Diego is facing in its current financial crisis. He said schools are just a small part of that. “Right now, the mayor needs the $2.1 billion much more than the school district because the mayor is headed right into a fullblown financial crisis,” Flannery said. Flannery does not deny that city schools need money for improvement; he just thinks that this election is not the time to do so. “The city — and therefore the taxpayer — are going to be hit with a bond somewhere, and the schools should wait,” Flannery said. “When you are looking at finances, you have to look at the whole thing and you have to make hard choices.” Another reason Flannery said voters should vote “no” on Proposition S is that the main beneficiaries of the proposition are builders and contractors. He said the numerous contracts awarded if the bond passes would serve as a bailout to the construction industry. Proposition S may be one of the most tightly contested measures on this year’s ballot, despite its less than prominent position. “Go to the bottom of the ballot,” Tate said. “We’re afraid of drop-off.” ■

may revel in a moment of serenity with the fountain waters, brightcolored tiled patios and a large rose garden. Of historic interest is the fact that in 1927, a group of women from St. James Episcopal Church of La Jolla formed a Social Service Committee and a led a group of choirgirls to participate in charitable projects in the community that extended to making donations to Neighborhood House in East San Diego. In 1929, during the Depression, they devoted themselves to giving food baskets, clothing and home items to needy local residents. In 1929, the Vestry of St. James voted to no longer have the Social Service Committee a part of St. James, thus Social Service League of La Jolla was founded. Many women from St. James are still a part of Social Service League of La Jolla. It has become a viable organization whose goals are to serve the senior citizens at League House and maintain the beauty of Darlington House, which was redecorated in January and February of this year.

Plant pansies for cool-weather color BY LINDA MARRONE
www.LaJollaHomesUSA.com
“Pansies for ladies all” — Elizabeth Barrett Browning Cool fall weather is the perfect time to plant pansies for a burst of color when most of the flowers in our gardens are beginning to fade. Easy to grow, pansies love cooler weather and will bloom from fall to early summer in our cool coastal environment with very little care. A member of the Violaceae plant family that also includes violets and violas (a tiny version of the pansy), the velvety petals of the pansy come in a rainbow of colors as well as many different color combinations that will suit a variety of color palettes. Most pansies are recognized by their “happy face” that looks as thought it was hand-painted onto the flower’s center. On Saturday, Nov. 1, Weidner’s Nursery in Encinitas will be open for its annual pansy dig. The Weidner family and its matriarch, Evelyn, who has loved pansies since she was a child, have planted more than 15,000 pansies and violas for the digging festival, where customers are invited to take their shovels and trowels and dig up their favorite varieties. Pansies do not mind being transplanted, and digging your own pansies is much better than purchasing plants that are growing in pots, since the freshly dug pansies have a much larger and more established root system that will eagerly take root in your garden. A few steps before planting will ensure your plants a healthy growing season. Before you plant, make sure your soil is soft and ready for planting and not hard and compacted. A good layer of organic matter worked into the soil, as well as a topcoat, will work wonders and keep your plants happy and productive through their approximately eight-month growing season. Organic compost and earthworm castings are great additions to any garden’s soil and will help support your plants as they grow. Dig a hole a few inches deeper than your plant’s root system. Pansies do not need to be planted too deeply; in fact, if you plant them too deeply, they may rot and die. Evelyn says that you should not fertilize newly planted pansies

La Jolla right away: “Just give them a good drink of water for the first week or so and then you can begin fertilizing.” Pansies love sun and prefer to be planted in an area of the garden where they will receive at least a half-day of sunlight. While they will survive in a partially shaded area, the plants will not produce as many flowers. Pansies like to be kept slightly moist, and you should never let them completely dry out, because once they wither, it is difficult to get them to come back to life. When our fall Santa Anas hit, make sure your pansies are watered regularly. As the flowers fade, remove them to increase the production of new flowers, and your plants should reward you with flowers until the summer weather heats up. The compact growing habit of the pansy makes it perfect for planting in masses or in a border. They are also great for window boxes and container planting. Vio-
las have a more trailing form with masses of tiny pansy-like flowers. They are perfect for planting in containers or a place in the garden where they can cascade down. Weidner’s is offering hanging baskets filled with violas to take home for an instant splash of color. The nursery gates will open at 8 a.m. on Nov. 1 and the digging begins at 9. For information, visit www.weidners.com and click on the pansy link for more tips on how to grow these cheerful flowers.

‘Godfather,’ ‘Iron Man’ DVDs celebrate strong men BY JAMES COLT HARRISON | VILLAGE NEWS
Paramount Home Entertainment has recently released DVDs of some wonderful films. “The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration” is a set of all three “Godfather” movies as edited by its director, Francis Ford Coppola. Marvel Comics’ “Iron Man” was created in 1963, and alter ego Tony Stark was based partly on Hollywood celebrity and industrial mogul Howard Hughes. Cocreator and producer Stan Lee said, “Howard Hughes was one of the most colorful men of our time. He was an inventor, an adventurer, a multi-millionaire, a ladies’ man and, finally, a nutcase.” Both films profile strong and clever men, some good and some bad. Tony Stark, as played by Oscar nominee Robert Downey Jr., is a top government weapons dealer and creator and lives a carefree, unstructured life in “Iron Man.” He does what he wants when he wants. Hughes was known to work on a project for days without sleep, and Stark is patterned on that personality quirk. In what is probably Downey’s best picture in years, he has created a character that is a superhero, a genius, and yet is human because he has a heart malfunction. We care about him because we worry about him. Plus, he has an innate sense of humor, which lightens the load on the action and tense situations. Downey brings the right amount of quirkiness to his role but stops short of parody. He’s actually fun and throws his
