LJ’s Lightner wins seat for District 1 Thalheimer loses for 2nd time in close race BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
La Jollan Sherri Lightner defeated businessman Phil Thalheimer Tuesday in the race for the San Diego City Council District 1 seat. Lightner will step into the vacant seat left by termed-out Scott Peters on Dec. 8. Meanwhile, she said she will rest and regroup. The race for District 1 was tight, according to Lightner.

Open house to begin Village’s holiday season BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
La Jolla Village kicks off the holiday season Sunday, Nov. 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when 12 Girard Avenue merchants open their doors for a traditional festive open house. “We’ve been doing it for at least 20 years,” said Lynn Jahn, general manager of Adelaide’s. “It’s a way to work with other merchants and an opportunity to have people come to town to see the entertainment and join in the raffles — we give away
roses, but there’s also a lot of community spirit.” Gina Phillips, owner of Adelaide’s, began organizing the event and increasing the number of participating merchants along the 7600, 7700 and 7800 blocks of Girard Avenue to form the holiday open house, Jahn said. The past few years, Phillips gathered the participating merchants and asked them to donate a percentage of the day’s sales to charity, Jahn said. “Just the last two years there’s been a twist, and now
we give a portion to charities,” Jahn said. “Last year, we gave 10 percent to the Alzheimer’s Association. This year, we’re donating to the Florence Riford Center.” The Riford Adult Center at 6811 La Jolla Blvd. helps guide aging people gracefully, Jahn said. The center offers Tai Chi, aerobics and computer classes, among other things, she said. Adelaide’s flower and gift store opened for business more SEE SEASON, Page 6

Soledad Assoc. will honor actor/pilot Jimmy Stewart BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
This year the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association (MSMA) plans to honor actor Jimmy Stewart during its annual Veterans Day celebration atop Soledad Mountain. Starting at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, members of the association will present a memorial plaque to the family of Brigadier General James Maitland Stewart for his service in the U.S. Air Force. Stewart flew 20 official missions in World War II, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Croix
de Guerre for his actions during combat. Stewart also flew aboard a B-52 as a non-duty observer as part of a bombing mission during the Vietnam War. Though he died in 1997, the memorial association said it wanted to present the popular actor — who would have turned 100 this year — with a memorial plaque. “His family is coming out and they’ve never been to Mt. Soledad,” MSMA executive director Joanie Miyashiro-Brennan said. SEE STEWART, Page 4

‘Ugly Plaid Bandit’ pleads Bird Rock enjoys a ruly Halloween guilty to 7 bank robberies BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Tellers at San Diego National Bank in UC testify robber seemed ‘shaky’ BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS
A bank robber who was given the nickname of the “Ugly Plaid Bandit” because tellers noticed his garish plaid shirts pleaded guilty Oct. 23 to robbing two tellers at a La Jolla bank and six other banks elsewhere. John Edward Roberts, 47, will face a prison term ranging from 25 to 35 years, said Deputy District Attorney Allison Batstone. San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeff Fraser set sentencing for Dec. 15. Roberts admitted to robbing two bank employees at the San Diego National Bank, 4270 Executive Square, on Dec. 15, 2007. Yesica Lazaro testified at the March 24 preliminary hearing that Roberts wore a plaid shirt and demanded money from her. Taylor Ann Bowne, who testified the robber took $500 from her, said she noticed his plaid shirt. The tellers testified Roberts robbed them both of approximately $1,300 total. “He seemed nervous and shaky,” Lazaro said. The series netted the robber $12,523, according to testimony. Roberts pleaded guilty to holding up two banks at Grossmont Center, another in Hillcrest, a credit union in Clairemont and two other banks
FBI Special Agent David Eaton testified they never recovered any of the plaid shirts ... in La Mesa and Carmel Valley. FBI Special Agent David Eaton testified they never recovered any of the plaid shirts from his El Cajon motel room, as Roberts told him “he threw (them) away at one point.” Roberts identified himself on bank camera shots as the robber in the series, Eaton said. “He told us he spent it on drugs right away (and) didn’t keep much money at any time,” Eaton said. The prosecutor said Roberts had previously been convicted of seven bank robberies. He is a third-striker, and faced 37 years on each count had he gone to trial. The plea agreement is with the judge, not the D.A.’s office. Fraser told him he would sentence him to 25 to 35 years. Roberts was arrested Dec. 24, and remains in the central downtown jail without bail. ■
Bird Rock Community Council members and storeowners reported an uneventful Halloween Friday, attributing the success to an ongoing partnership with police and neighbors. “Everything went fine. My phone didn’t ring at all,” said Victor Bastidas, store manager of Bird Rock Starbucks. But Bastidas wouldn’t have been so confident a few years ago. Four years ago, the upscale-yetcrunchy bohemian Bird Rock neighborhood — a popular trickor-treat destination — was rocked to its core on Halloween when residents reported out-of-control behavior including fighting, egg throwing and illicit underage sex, said Bird Rock Community Council board member Michelle Fulks. Since that time, the police and the BRCC gathered residents, forming a Halloween safety council in an effort to re-create Bird Rock’s family friendly holiday atmosphere, said Fulks, a Neighborhood Watch member. At least 700 costumed candy consumers traveled the blocks around Bird Rock this year, Fulks said. Although residents encouraged the children and displayed lights and decorations, the council kept trick-or-treating hours between 5 and 8 p.m. The group’s efforts worked, Fulks said. Police stepped up their presence in the area the past three years, enforcing rules such as underage drinking and curfew laws. “The police presence made a huge difference. This is the third

Class now in session at New Children’s Museum LIGHTNER CONTINUED FROM Page 1
BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | VILLAGE NEWS
The returns are in, and they’ve been in for decades: Children benefit exponentially, probably in ways we can’t imagine, from exposure to the arts. Critical thinking, cellular development, capacity for everyday problem solving: All are touched in one way or another amid a session or two with a paintbrush or a dowdy ol’ keyboard, and all are markedly enhanced throughout the student’s life. Yet cuts in California’s school arts programs are legendary as the state struggles year after year to find new sources of revenue. The New Children’s Museum, which opened this spring with educational collaboration its stated purpose, has instituted a program designed to shore up some of the backlash from local arts education funding cuts. But while the program’s intent is no different from scores of others across the state, its creators are aware that a key component could spell its success or failure. Oct. 10 marked the last day of a three-week pilot program in which students from downtown’s Washington Elementary School spent three weeks at the museum, taking their regular classes in the facility’s Arts Education Center. The 50 third-graders participated in a curriculum designed to enhance creativity through examination of objects in new ways, with their own empowerment as artists the goal. In addition, students from downtown’s Monarch School will participate in after-school arts enrichment programs throughout
the schoolyear. “There is an amazing creativity in every child,” said museum director Rachel Teagle. “What becomes an issue is accessibility and how often children really get the opportunity to tap into that creativity. I’m just so happy that Washington Elementary and Monarch School have made such real efforts.” “We are thrilled to be participating in this valuable program with The New Children’s Museum, which is providing muchneeded access to arts programming,” explained Washington principal Janie Wardlow in a statement. “Our students would not otherwise be exposed to the visual arts or have these kinds of meaningful learning experiences.” Teagle cautioned, however, that exposure to the arts is one thing and that guidance is something else. Even the most well-intentioned volunteer may not always be compatible with such a program due to lack of disciplinary or teaching skills. Mark Schwarz, who teaches the Washington third-graders, is aware of this — and unless the museum carefully cultivates its volunteers, future programs may breed the potential for harm. “We as teachers and [museum staff] have results we’d like to see,” he said. “Those are based on standards for arts education in the state of California. But this is also kind of a cutting-edge thing. We’re pushing the envelope in arts instruction, and we’re wanting to see kids grow in that way. That’s probably not something you can do in a two-hour volun-
teer training session. “It would be like a volunteer coming in and reading with the kid without knowing what the purpose of the reading is. It’s not unhelpful, but it’s not as powerful as it could be, and in some cases it could be detrimental.” Lauren Popp, the museum’s volunteer coordinator, said the facility anticipates the need for guidance among those who seek to donate their time. “We haven’t met yet with any of those who’ve asked to volunteer,” Popp said, “but when we do, I want them to be able to share what they can about the program with visitors. I want them to be able to help the kids engage with the artwork safely. “I also want them to be aware of our mission, what’s important to us here at the museum as well.” Since opening to the public, the museum has hosted more than 80 school tours and visits from nonprofit educational groups. Close to 4,000 students have experienced “childsplay,” the museum’s opening exhibit, and the venue’s hands-on studios. Many young artists have participated in a variety of arts-based camps and workshops, while moms and toddlers have been enjoying weekly music and movement classes. On Oct. 11, the museum held its first gala fund-raiser, with proceeds going toward proper outfitting of the Arts Education Center. The museum is located at 200 W. Island Ave. More information about the museum’s programs is available at (619) 233-8792 or www.thinkplaycreate.org. ■

Stewart’s three surviving children will attend the ceremony. George Kennedy, a good friend of the actor, prepared a reading but can’t attend because of health issues, according to Brennan. “We just got a confirmation that actor Ed Faulkner will read [Kennedy’s statement],” Brennan said. Brennan said that Major General Robert Duignan, Commander 4th Air Force Reserve Command, March Air Reserve Base will present the keynote address. “He’ll tie in the meaning of Veterans Day and the active military and current events,” Brennan said. Attendees also will see familiar sights. “We’re going to have a flyover again this year. That’s always one of the highlights,” Brennan said. For veterans or their families who want to purchase a memorial plaque, which is cemented on a wall surrounding the cross on Mt. Soledad, Brennan said the association will have its plaque designer on hand to answer questions. “We’ll have a plaque table set up in the back. We encourage people to purchase a plaque — the wall’s filling up fast,” Brennan said. Although each person’s plaque

Voters pour it on to make beach booze ban permanent BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
After years of debate and a oneyear taste of alcohol-free beaches, San Diego voters finally kicked beer off the beach with the passage of Prop D. The San Diego County Registrar of Voters put the numbers at 214,215 votes in favor of Prop D and 188,815 votes against it. About 220,000 absentee and provisional ballots still need to be counted, according to county officials. Because only San Diego residents could vote on Prop D, the final count may not change the outcome, officials said. Scott Chipman, the Yes on D campaign spokesman, said the success of the booze-ban campaign is due to city residents who saw the difference the temporary ban made over the past year. “I see this as a restoration of liberties for people who want to come to a public park, and for those people who come from all over the world to not have their vacation spoiled by problems associated with binge drinking,” he said. Chipman, a 33-year Pacific Beach resident, worked on the campaign for the last two years,
he said. District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer backed the ban after a 2007 Labor Day brawl involving a crowd of people broke out at the foot of Reed Street, bringing scores of police in riot gear to the beach to break up the crowd. City Council first approved the one-year temporary ban in November 2007. It would have expired in January 2009. The No on D campaign has always said the ability to drink alcohol on the beach should not be ruined by a small group of rowdy people. The anti-ban group also campaigned on pressuring city officials to offer “real solutions” to problems associated with alcohol on the beaches, such as increasing law enforcement or adding more public restrooms in the beach areas. The contentious beach-alcohol debate resulted in close elections over the years. This is the third time San Diego residents have voted on the issue. The last time San Diegans voted on a ban before this week was in November 2002, when it failed to pass by small margin. ■

These trees will replace many campus tree that have died due to storm damage, drought and land development. The Arbor Day Foundation has cited UCSD and eight other college campuses in the U.S. for “best practices in campus forestry.”

The program is designed to assist San Diego police officers in buying homes in the communities in which they serve, according to event organizers. The walk will take place at NTC Park at Liberty Station beginning at 8 a.m. KUSI-TV’s Joe Lizura, the spokesman for the event, will join police officers, Realtors and supporters on the brisk walk to call attention to the service of police officers and to help them achieve the dream of home ownership. Teams and individuals can sign up in advance for $25 per person and can give monetary donations by calling (619) 298-7400, or by visiting www.ambass adorsfoundation.org. Event organizers said four San Diego police officers were helped to purchase their first homes in 2008. ■

Fulks said. “The off-duty officers did a lot of good. They busted four or five kids trying to break into the haunted house.” The teens breaking into the haunted house were detained for a while, then released, Fulks said. Another factor that contributed to children’s safety inside Bird Rock was the continued closure of a roundabout at La Jolla Hermosa and Forward Avenue, Fulks said. “Keely Sweeny [with San Diego City Council President Scott Peters office] kept it closed during the trick-or-treating hours,” Fulks said, adding that Sweeny worked with the Halloween safety committee to keep that road closed. “It was much safer.” According to Fulks, BRCC along with residents and police have reached their goal, to keep the masses safe as they choose Bird Rock as their destination for Halloween holiday trick-or-treating. ■

Stewart, USAF. Although Jimmy Stewart was certainly well known for his distinguished movie career, he was little known for his distinguished military career. BGen. Stewart is being honored as a combat pilot and commander of B-24 missions in WWII and for his dedicated military service of over 27 years.
Among his many awards are the Distinguished Service Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, multiple Air Medals, the Army Commendation Medal and French Croix de Guerre. The children of Jimmy Stewart will be attending the ceremony, along with many other distinguished guests and friends of the Mt.Soledad Memorial Association.

Galas that go on around here on a regular basis get all the attention, but the little stuff that makes up the regular fabric of life in La Jolla is really what it’s all about. In no particular order, here are a few of the fun things that have happened in recent weeks, like the intimate Romance party tossed by Joan Bowes and Larry Davis at USD to mark all the years they’ve been together. The unique thing about it was that a few of the invitees arrived with name tags in hand to mark their places at a table they chose, despite the fact that it was an open seating buffet. The only romance that emerged from the evening was the confirmation by Wanda and Richard Levi that the wedding date was set for Nov. 4 (we vote for that) — you read it here first in last week’s column. Then there was the 94th birthday celebration for Father Lawrence Waddy — actually it was a fund-raising dinner for his favorite charity, but who’s quibbling? As far as age goes, he was aced by two of the guests (see photo). Coincidentally, just across the hall there was another birthday bash for Pete Malloy, a mere youngster of 90. Then there was a non-birthday happening at White Sands where they gave tours of the facility and held a real live clambake, complete with clams, crabs, chowder and a live band, all to entice folks to move in an enjoy the good life.

A bit of frivolity lightens the load BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
If the antidote to all the darkness seen lately on San Diego stages and on Wall Street is frivolity, North Coast Repertory Theatre has just the vehicle. Never mind that they had a lot of misses during the past season; two shows into their 27th, they’ve scored a bull’s eye with Marc Camoletti’s 1985 farce, “Don’t Dress for Dinner,” which is adapted by Robin Hawdon and deftly staged by Rosina Reynolds. The casting could not be better nor the performances more adroitly managed by the director and her company, Lisel Gorrell-Getz, Phil Johnson, Amanda Sitton, Matt Thompson, Jacque Wilke and Christopher M. Williams. Who knew that Sitton was so expert a farceur? And although the comedic capabilities of Gorrell-Getz, Johnson and Williams are well known, they top themselves here without going over the top. Newcomer Wilke very nearly steals the show with her bewilderment and deadpan, and Thompson never looked so menacing or immense, providing another brilliant stroke in a delightful evening bound to be a huge hit with audiences. Here’s the set-up: Johnson plays Bernard, a philanderer whose wife, Jacqueline (Gorrell-Getz), plans a weekend trip to visit her mother. Unaware that Jacqueline is having an affair with Robert (Williams), Bernard invites his mistress, Suzanne (Sitton) and Robert for the weekend. Robert will provide an alibi in case Jacqueline finds out Bernard was not alone. She can pretend to be Robert’s mistress. Jacqueline cancels her trip when she answers the phone and finds out Robert is at the station. Having been prepped by Bernard, Robert is left alone while the married couple shops. He is greeted by the arrival of a woman named Suzette, who is, in reality, a gourmet cook hired for the weekend. Confusion compounds when he mistakes her for Bernard’s mistress. Further complications ensue, numerous doors are slammed and one laughs uproariously from start to finish. One of the funniest bits concerns the
instant modification by Bernard and Robert of Suzette’s maid’s uniform (costume magic by Michelle Hunt Souza). Chris Luessmann’s sound design adds to the overall merriment. “Don’t Dress for Dinner” continues through Nov. 16, playing at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays with selected Wednesday evening and Saturday matinee performances.

Charlotte, who is so lost. The playwright writes brilliantly, in short bursts when creating his paralyzed mourners, and in longer, poetic phrases when delusion-sprung characters speak, offering beauty tips (some hilarious) and relating the myth of Helen of Troy and the daughter she left behind when she was abducted. It works. Michelle Procopio, familiar to Lynx audiences as L’il Bit in “How I Learned to Drive,” is mesmerizing as Charlotte. Bill Kehayias, who portrayed the drunken Sammy in “In Arabia We’d All Be Kings” breaks one’s heart as Harry, the father paralyzed by grief. Walter Ritter, who was also seen in “Arabia,” does his best work as the guidance counselor. Kevin Koppman-Gue, seen many times on local stages, is excellent as Franklin.

Golden Hangar Awards will reward a passion for fashion BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
San Diego’s Fashion Careers College (FCC) will host its 22nd annual Golden Hangar Fashion Awards Gala Saturday, Nov. 8, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center. Graduating students produce the yearly runway show — this year’s theme focuses on Hollywood’s glamour — in an effort to raise money for two children’s charities, while guests enjoy a cocktail reception, dinner party and a boutique. FCC founder Patricia O’Connor will co-host the event with fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes. La Jolla Museum of Con-
temporary Art hosted Rhodes’ collections, including a 1982 solo collection, according to the University of Lincoln Web site. “We’ve been around for 30 years; we were founded in 1979,” said Lisa Paik, public relations and advertising coordinator for Fashion Careers College, adding that the college began highlighting students’ work the past 22 years. “The past nine years we started making money for Make-A-Wish,” Paik said. “It’s turned into its own entity.” This year, college officials decided to add Children’s Variety Lifeline, a Del Mar-based children’s charity, Paik said.
The past nine years we started making money for Make-A-Wish. LISA PAIK FASHION CAREERS COLLEGE
“It’s mostly for children in Third World countries that have lifethreatening heart conditions,” Paik said. “[The organization] goes in and gives them operations and that type of thing.”
The Golden Hangars attracts about 1,000 people, according to Paik. The college also awards alumni during the event. “The fashion honorees are usually local people or a philanthropic organization or a graduate,” Paik said. Along with one local woman politician whose identity FCC officials will reveal during the ceremony, Paik said several former students will be honored. “This year [we’re honoring] Nicki Starr of the boutique Civil Disobedience, and we’re giving away a special secret award,” Paik said. “And Rick Coburn of Factory Vintage — it’s a vintage store that does a little bit of
wholesale, too.” An Indian student who took the retail display industry back to India, pioneering displays in that country, will also be recognized, Paik said. “Mani Nagasubramaninan is in India and he created the whole industry of retail displays,” she said. “His company is Retail Design and Merchandising.” Saturday’s event starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Grand Ballroom, Town and Country Resort and Convention Center. For tickets, call (619) 275-4700 and ask for Peter. Dinner tickets are $125, while tickets for the fashion show only are $50. For info, go to www.fashion careerscollege.com. ■

Area gridders taste defeat in weekend league contests BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
It was a tough weekend for local gridiron teams as The Bishop’s School, La Jolla Country Day and La Jolla High all met defeat. Horizon posted 42 points on Bishop’s last weekend en route to a 42-18 victory over the Knights. Running back Jacob Kelly got injured in the first quarter as the Knights fell behind 21-0 and never recovered. The Knights also were missing running back Kyle Jester and lineman Jesse Ramey. Freshman QB Joey Moreno was 13-of-16 for 177 yards and one TD. Micah Seau had 11 tackles and a sack, while Mike Jensen led the ground attack with 87 yards on 11 carries. Jensen also played well on defense, notching 10 tackles. “I think we can be pretty tough

Blood worms draw all types at La Jolla Shores BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD | VILLAGE NEWS
When the tide has ebbed for some time, it’s time to mull over the hard-packed, yet moist, band of sand at the mid-tide level to look for surface pockmarks, the signature “footprint” of an insect unknown to most beachgoers. Segmented blood worms (Euzonus mucronata) are one of the most abundant sandy beach animals, yet they are clandestine critters because they live an underground life. Euzonus belong to the worm group known as polychetes, which have small, bristly paddles on each segment of their body. Blood worms may reach nearly 2 inches long, but their highly elastic bodies allow them to stretch well beyond that to slither between sand grains.
Since they are air breathers entrenched in an environment that would otherwise suffocate the likes of us, their blood is crucial to letting them breathe easy. The blood’s brightred color comes courtesy of hemoglobin, the same pigment that gives vertebrate blood its hue. And like vertebrate blood, hemoglobin carries oxygen, which blood worms need a store of to last through the long periods they are under water. Once the tide flows out, blood worms burrow
upward toward the sand’s surface and hang upside down from their self-inflicted pinhole, where they use their rectum as a kind of lung to absorb oxygen. This window of time is also their chance to chow down, because once the tide rolls in, they must retreat to deeper sand to avoid getting carried away by the surf. During this time, blood worms may dive as deep as 8 inches but below that, there is not enough oxygen to sustain them. Sometimes I notice the holes look dug up, testimony that shorebirds have poked around for these iron-rich, easy pickings. Blood worms clean the beach just as their earthworm cousins clean our gardens. Called deposit feeders, they gulp sand but it’s really the organic material found SEE BLOOD WORMS, Page B·2

Halls of fame gear up to honor drivers BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | VILLAGE NEWS
Two of America’s most accomplished race drivers will be inducted into two San Diego halls of fame. Dan Gurney, whose 15-year racing span included Indianapolis and Formula One, will become the ninth member of the Auto Museum’s honor roll on Nov. 22 at the U.S. Grant Hotel. Ironman Ivan Stewart, a San Diego native who dominated offroad racing, is a rarity for the Sports Hall of Champions. In February at the Town and Country, he’ll be the second motorsports driver to join the all-sports hall in almost 30 years. Hydroplane legend Bill Muncey, inducted in 1980,
is the only other. Gurney, 77, who began his sports car career in a TR-2 at Torrey Pines in 1955, finished second twice at Indy, ran off four straight stock-car victories at Riverside International Raceway and is the only U.S. driver in Formula One to win a race with his own designed car. Stewart, 63, gained the name “Ironman” because of his many solo wins in the Baja 500 and 1000. His triumphs included the Mint 400 in Las Vegas and Mickey Thompson’s national stadium and closed course races. In retirement, each pursued careers in design, Gurney with his Off-road racer “Ironman” Ivan Stewart will be inducted into the Sports Hall of SEE DRIVERS, Page B·3 Champions next February.
Sandy Freiwald winces and rolls two pinwheel eyes at the thought of her alma mater. As well she should. On Oct. 11, her once-mighty University of Michigan Wolverines — proud stewards of the country’s winningest college football program — lost to the lowly University of Toledo Rockets, at the time a 1–4 also-ran out of the so-so MidAmerican Conference. The defeat marks the program’s slow and very public demise, which seemed to start with last year’s season-opening bump to tiny Appalachian State. “They’re a disgrace,” Freiwald laughed, the last word drawn out uneasily amid the program’s iconic stature. “It’s pretty sad.” Sure is, buddy. But they’ll be back someday soon — we’re talkin’ the Wolverines here. Besides, it’s only a game, and man has a way of
inventing those as a refinement of his tendency toward the alternative. Depending on whom you talk to, as many as 15,000 wars have been waged in human history, with far more lethal effects than Wolverine football’s worst season start since the mid1960s. Freiwald, who at 39 doesn’t remember Michigan’s last wave of mediocrity, has a pretty good handle on that real-life side of the ledger too. The critical-care surgeon and assistant surgery department chief for the Southern California Permanente Medical Group has been to the African nation of Liberia twice, more recently in 2006 following that country’s second modern-day civil war, rendering care to those made homeless by the conflicts.

In 1949, in what must have been a scintillating study, two researchers followed the plight of sand grains through an E. mucronatus and came up with two interesting results: The turnover rate is nearly 2 pounds of sand per year per worm (talk about a high-fiber diet!), with each sand grain cycling in and out in about 15 minutes. Variations in blood worms are not about A, B or O types but color types. Anywhere from lightpink to red to black, body coloration depends on the darkness of the sand grains that are ingested. I can see color differences along the length of one individual worm as well as diverse tints and tones in those of nearby blood brothers. If freed from their sand den to fresh air, blood worms rock their sharp-pointed heads back and forth as if searching for something. I know that something is the missing sand above them. When not found, they immediately start digging back down, knowing that without their protective barrier, the next tide will wash them away and they’ll drown. I don’t want to imagine that because they perform such an important service. I prefer imagining that while I’m leisurely walking on the sandy beach, thousands or millions of these

Raines, a University of San Diego alum, points to some of the projects the club is working on as an example of the opportunities that exist for members. “In Africa we are working on building a merry-go-round which is attached to a water pump,” she said. “When the kids play on the merry-go-round, its circular movement draws water up to the pump for the people in the village. In Jamaica we are involved in a literacy project, as well as efforts here in San Diego.” While the projects are serious, the weekly club meetings are of a different nature. “It is a happy-hour club so the focus is different than most Rotary Clubs,” said Raines, referring to the 5:30 p.m. start time. “We always have a guest speaker, which is an opportunity to learn, but there are also plenty of laughs and good-natured razzing between members.” She explained that Rotary members from other clubs attend the New Generations meetings to learn more about the organization. Individual clubs also provide financial assistance and mentoring support. The club has created a pioneering spirit as it is the first Rotary Club of its kind in the U.S., but Raines said the concept has exploded with more clubs opening up in California and around the country for younger professionals. Raines, who works for the Girl Scouts in membership development, only returned to San Diego
successful Indy Eagles and Stewart with his Pro-Truck class. Gurney was given a Ferrari to drive in early Southern California sports car races, where he mastered the 2.8-mile Riverside road course. Not long after, he joined the International Ferrari team. He had a pair of second-place finishes at Indianapolis and won there as a car owner in 1975 with Bobby Unser at the wheel. Stewart’s reputation as the Ironman came in 1973 when his codriver Bill Hrykno fell off a ladder and broke a leg. Stewart took over and drove solo to victory. His long association with Toyota projected his career, and although retired for eight years, he is still the company’s spokesman. The Auto Museum’s Hall of Fame honors individuals who have significantly shaped automotive history. Previously inducted were Juan Manuel Fangio, Carroll Shelby, Rodger Ward, Phil Hill, Parnelli Jones, Joe Leonard, Andy Granatelli and Bob Bondurant. By the time he retired in 1970, Gurney had raced in 312 events in 20 countries with 51 different makes of cars, winning 51 races and finishing on the podium an additional 47 times. He won seven races in Formula One, seven in Indy Cars and five in NASCAR stock cars. Additionally, he won in Trans-Am, Can-Am and endurance races at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans. His company, All American Racers, designed and manufactured racecars with great success for the last 30 years, winning eight championships and capturing 78 victories and 83 pole positions.
Liz Raines, 25, is the new president of the La Jolla New Generations Rotary Club, which meets each Wednesday.
last year following college graduation. “Liz is too modest to give you all the details,” said Brittany Catton, who serves as public relations chair for the club. “She was working in a homeless shelter in Nashville and living at nearpoverty level. She is a phenomenal woman with all the things she’s able to accomplish. We are excited to have her as our club president.” For both Raines and Catton, the club provides a great balance of education, fun and service. “We get to sit around and learn, save the world and drink beer,” Raines said. The La Jolla New Generations Rotary Club meets every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at Trophy’s Restaurant UTC, 4282 Esplanade Court. For information visit www.newgenrotary.org. ■

Dan Gurney, seen here in 1964, will become the ninth member of the Auto Museum’s honor roll on Nov. 22 at the U.S. Grant Hotel. His 15-year racing span included Indianapolis and Formula One.
He was instrumental in bringing Monte Carlo-type street racing to the United States, becoming cofounder of the Long Beach Grand Prix in 1974. He continued to serve on its board of directors for 24 years. During Stewart’s first two years behind the wheel of his Toyota truck, he earned six class victories, including two SCORE World Championships. The next two years, he drove one of two Toyota truck entries in the mini- and midsize pickup class in both the SCORE and HDRA desert series. Stewart claimed Toyota’s first Baja 1000 victory in 1993, clinching his second SCORE overall and unlimited class series championships, matching his 1990 record. He played an important role in Toyota’s 12-year dominance of the stadium series. Stewart holds the record for all-time
MTEG wins with 17. Stewart accumulated 84 career victories and 10 driver’s championships. The wins include 17 Baja 500s, eight Mint 400s, four Parker 400s, three Baja 1000s and four SCORE World Championships. ■

Ask Aubrey concerned. My Q. I’m personal portfolio and retirement account are way down in value and my rentals are less than what I paid for them. What should I do? First of all, turn off the TV news! Rather than the past several years’ “smooth” roller coaster ride of the stock markets, the markets have more recently resembled a bungee jump with the massive inter-day swings down and up. The current financial crisis is marked by the biggest bank failure in American history. Southern California residential real estate is dramatically down in value as well. Are we in another business cycle or is it different this time? Time will tell. In the meantime as my daughter would say: “don’t freak out!” I believe this is sound advice. Don’t overact and make the wrong move at the wrong time – selling into a depressed market. Review your goals and objectives for your investments and understand your risk tolerance. Risk taking is required to achieve returns greater than bank savings accounts. Recheck your financial plan and make sure your investments are broadly diversified and inside your comfort zone. Now is not the time for knee-jerk reactions.

REFUGEES CONTINUED FROM Page B·1
she’ll be part of an educational exhibit at Balboa Park that asks us to assume her patients’ roles, their plight a world removed from the amusements that mark a handful of Saturdays in the placid Ann Arbor autumn. “A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City” is the brainchild of Doctors Without Borders (DWB), the humanitarian group that delivers emergency aid to people whose survival is threatened by violence and other catastrophes. DWB reports that some 42 million have been uprooted by war worldwide, with 26 million seeking safety from conflict within their own countries. Of the latter, about 1 million live in Liberia; the Sudan, with close to six times that number, leads the world in this category. The figures, of course, don’t begin to reflect the suffering. Freiwald, who as a DWB member was stationed in the Liberian capital of Monrovia, said major swaths of the city had no electricity or running water. Tropical diseases, which Freiwald had never seen in her Western practice, were endemic in some quarters. Access to health care was virtually nil. In some pockets of the city, garbage hadn’t been collected for 15 or 20 years, even as people freely relieved themselves in public. “It was overwhelming if you thought about trying to fix all the problems,” Freiwald said. “But on a one-on-one basis with each patient, it became very manageable. I think that’s how we got through a lot of our days.”
Houses practically stack on one another (above) in a refugee area in Monrovia, Liberia. Some 1 million Liberians are homeless due to war in their own country. Matthew Spitzer (right), president of Doctors Without Borders’ American board, says San Diego is a logical choice for the group’s mock refugee camp exhibit, running through Nov. 9 in Balboa Park.
Now, it’s the community’s turn for some of that one-on-one. The mock refugee camp, which will be set up at Balboa Park’s Presidents Way lawn at the corner of Presidents Way and Park Boulevard, is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. today through Sunday; admission is free. The 8,000square-foot exhibit is designed to accommodate as many as 1,200 visitors a day, with each visit taking 40 minutes to an hour. DWB aid workers will act as tour guides, explaining the crucial elements for survival in refugee crisis situations. Those elements include shelter, food distribution, latrine and water areas and creation of a health clinic, cholera treatment center and vaccination station. San Diego is this year’s last stop for the exhibit, which has also toured San Francisco, Santa Monica, L.A. and four locales in western Canada. It also ran in eight other U.S. cities the last two years. It has visited 13 countries since its inaugural

eases and 20 years’ refuse on the streets. One such event involved a young Liberian’s errant pregnancy; Freiwald and her team terminated the fetus and saved the woman’s life, but at a grave cost. Motherhood, Freiwald explained, is a prime directive in Liberian culture — and since the woman’s surgery also robbed her of her capacity for childbirth, her future was altered in incalculable ways. Another interlude involved a displaced 5-year-old boy, burned over 40 percent of his body in a propane explosion. He later died of infections from his wounds, and Freiwald is persuaded he would have survived in a Western medical setting. “But the thing that was really profound about that,” Freiwald said, “was that he was the child of one of the men who was working with us in the operating room. He was a surgical tech, and he did an excellent job; he taught me a lot about things I had never seen in my practice in the West. “He was very gracious about his child’s death… [but] to be exposed to children dying on a regular basis and then to realize that you’ve been working one on one with a person whose child has just died under your care was really, really tough, probably the emotional low point the time I was there.” The last few words come haltingly as the clinician defers to her exhaustive spirit. While the planet is mired in tragedy, it’s equally as generous in dispensing its reasons for hope (Michigan’s suckoid football team notwithstanding). For the next few days, San Diego has a chance to experience some of the latter, with Downtown’s Balboa Park the focus of a world in some serious transformation.

King Julien (center), accompanied by his right-hand lemur, Maurice, addresses the citizens of the watering hole in DreamWorks’ “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,” featuring the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric The Entertainer, Andy Richter, Bernie Mac, Alec Baldwin and will.i.am.
‘Madagascar 2’ goes to Africa Director/screenwriter Eric Darnell (with Ethan Cohen and Tom McGrath) was involved in the research it took to create the landscapes in DreamWorks’ “Madagascar 2.” “Jeffrey Katzenberg (the ‘K’ in DreamWorks SKG logo) told us that we needed to go there, to see it ourselves,” Darnell said. “I mean, some of us figured, you know, trees, grass; it probably looks a lot like Simi Valley, right? But when we got there, we realized that nothing looks like it. To be able to experience this landscape and this place together as a creative team was just absolutely invaluable. Then we put the important components of that experience into our film. The trip was invaluable.” There is nothing like visiting an actual location for a film, producer Mark Swift agreed. “When you get to Africa, it’s a magical place,” he said. “You get things from it that you never imagine when you see it on television or in the movies. What we all took away with us, visually, was the enormity of the sky. The land is extremely flat, and there are these beautiful volcanoes in the distance. But the skies and the clouds — those became really important elements for us. The big concern was that there were a lot of animals of different sizes … and how were we going to shoot that? So everything was bigger — the sky, the crowds. It ended up being a challenge of scale.” To pull all of this together cohesively, production designer Kendall Cronkhite, who designed both the original “Madagascar”
and the new sequel, was charged with regulating the scale. For the original film, her designs were more visually fantastic and simply stylized. For “Madagascar 2” the world was more sophisticated, with an Africa that was more realistic but interpreted by the animators’ eyes. To make one animal stand out when it is in a crowd of other animals is a studio trick that had to be invented along the way. As is well known, Mother Nature, for instance, endows zebras with black and white stripes as camouflage. When they are crowded together, it is difficult to distinguish one from another, thus protecting them. But to make the character of Marty (Chris Rock) stick out, the animators had to put him in a little more light or darken the other surrounding zebras with dirt. Visual special effects supervisor Philippe Gluckman had to solve many challenges with the new animation tools. “The grass is very difficult, because basically, the computer has to generate every single blade of grass … and that becomes just a lot of data to handle,” he said. The advancement of the computer-imaging technology is actually light years away from what was available for the first “Madagascar” years ago. “Where it’s trickiest is actually where the grass meets up with the characters,” said Scott Peterson, head of effects. “We had to put animation into the grass, so that if a character is stepping on it, the grass is reacting properly. We have to embellish it with lots of almost directed wind — this gives it secondary motion.” Don’t get the idea that all of this

is achieved easily. To capture all the details in the grasses, the plants, the fur and the waterfalls, it took 12 million render hours to complete the first “Madagascar.” For the exciting new film, it required close to 30 million render hours to complete! The stars who are the voices of the characters are an amazing line-up of Hollywood talent. Ben Stiller plays Alex. He recently starred in the hit “Tropic Thunder” and is working on the next “Night at the Museum,” scheduled for release in May 2009. Comic Chris Rock plays the zebra Marty. Geffen Records recently released Rock’s latest comedy album, “Cheese and Crackers.” The character Melman is played by David Schwimmer, who received an Emmy for his role on TV’s “Friends.” Jada Pinkett Smith, married to film star Will Smith, plays Gloria. She recently starred with San Diego’s own Annette Bening in “The Women.” Sacha Baron Cohen plays King Julien and is probably the funniest man in films today. His “Borat” was a sensational international hit. Cedric the Entertainer is another comedian who tickled audiences with “Barber Shop.’ He plays Maurice in “Madagascar 2.” Actor/writerAndy Richter (“Late Night With Conan O’Brien”) plays Mort. Sherri Shepherd is Alex’s mom. She’s on “The View” every day. Alec Baldwin plays Makunga and is delighting TV viewers on “30 Rock” with Tina Fey. Sadly, comic Bernie Mac turns in one of his last performances as Zuba. His latest film is “Soul Man.” The music is composed by pop artist will.i.am (MotoMoto) along with Hans Zimmer. ■

What is polished concrete? Polished Concrete has been established in the flooring industry as a LEED friendly system. Polished concrete is a process which enhances the natural beauty of existing concrete by hardening and polishing the concrete to create a glossy finish. Concrete slabs have an inherent natural beauty, but until recently, residential and retail facilities preferred floor coverings, such as vinyl composite tile, decorative tile or terrazzo, to make up for the perceived lack luster of concrete’s natural state. However, the benefits of natural concrete, such as cost savings and high-traffic durability, have
long been a familiar solution for industrial sites. The polished concrete industry is rapidly becoming very popular to all industries including residential, as it provides durability and aesthetic value. Polishing results in a glossy appearance revealing the stone aggregate within the concrete, is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and highly cost effective.
Reasons Polished Concrete is Green • Rehabilitation of existing old slabs saves the environment • Contributes to LEED points in many categories
ECO
- F R I E N D LY
• The few chemicals sometimes used are water-based, VOC-free and environmentally safe • The exceptional durability of polished concrete greatly reduces long term maintenance
Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors Elimination of Dusting from Efflorescence In ordinary unpolished concrete, tiny particles of dust are pushed to the surface through an upward force called efflorescence: this is called dusting, which forces epoxies off of the surface of concrete floors, and can make maintenance a costly priority. Polished concrete also makes a much healthier environment due to this elimination of dusting. Stain-Resistant - By densifying and sealing the surface, polished concrete transforms a porous concrete floor into a tightened floor that is dense enough to repel water, oil, and other contaminants, preventing them from penetrating the surface.

Improved Reflectivity and Ambient Lighting - The reflective properties of a polished concrete floor increases the lighting. Increased lighting in your facility makes it easier on your lighting bill and magnifies the beauty of the floors.
LIFEST YLE
Increased Slip Resistance - Polished concrete, though looks like glass, does not create a slippery floor. In fact, the benefits of mechanically grinding and flattening the floor will increase the coefficient of friction when compared to ordinary concrete. Polished concrete often exceeds OSHA standards for floors and is typically referred to as “high traction”. Less Maintenance – Other flooring options require aggressive scrubbing to maintain a clean environment and nice appearance. Polished concrete surfaces are tightly compacted, reducing stains, and do not require any waxing or stripping to maintain the sheen. Cost-Effective - Polished concrete will not only reduce energy and maintenance costs, but will also reduce overall cost of the floor. Polished concrete has proven to last at least 10-12 years and has a lower life-cycle cost than any other flooring option. LEED Friendly - Polished concrete not only utilizes existing concrete surfaces, eliminating additional materials such as coverings/coatings and moving towards sustainable building, it typically contains no noticeable VOC’s, making it friendly for any USBG LEED project.
Improved Condition - Old floors are new again. As concrete ages, surface stress, de-lamination, curled cold joints, and other problems can arise. Mechanically grinding the floor removes the top surface of old concrete and polishing then strengthens it, increasing it's impact and abrasion resistance. Non-Toxic, Dustless Process - Due to the cleanliness of the concrete polishing process and the lack of toxic or hazardous chemicals, floors can often be serviced with occupants in place eliminating the inconvenience and cost of vacating. The bottom line is that you have hidden treasure under your feet, the opportunity to re-purpose your old gray concrete floors into trendy, stunningly beautiful polished stone floors. You choose the degree of polishing to expose the stone aggregate, the degree of luster, to add color stains or not. You'll have floors that look like terrazzo at fraction of the cost and inconvenience. If that isn't enough, the real bonus is ease of care, never wax your floors again...just damp mop and your done!
