Dogs run rings around Vikes at Homecoming BY ROB STONE | VILLAGE NEWS
The Point Loma High School (PLHS) Pointers had five quarterback sacks and ran for 253 yards as a team, spoiling La Jolla High School’s (LJHS) Homecoming by defeating the Vikings 28-7 in a Western League football game at Gene Edwards Stadium on Nov. 14. “Point Loma is a good football team,” said La Jolla head football coach Dave Ponsford said. “They handled us in every which way. They deserved to win.” The Pointers got on the scoreboard first when senior Marquel Specks (13 carries, 117 yards, 1 touchdown) opened the scoring on a 41-yard touchdown run with 1:56 left in the first quarter to give PLHS a 7-0 lead. “They (the Vikings) stacked eight guys inside the box against us because of our running backs,” said Pointers head football coach Mike Hastings. In the second quarter, Point Loma came right back and scored again as junior Leslie Rogers (13 carries, 90 yards, 2 touchdowns), reached the goal line on an 8-yard run to put the Pointers up
14-0 with 8:08 remaining before halftime. “We have a great running game,” Hastings said. “But our quarterback can throw too. So, we made some big plays when the timing was right.” The Point Loma quarterback would be Keegan Fitzgerald (5-of-6, 85 yards, 1 touchdown) and 3:06 left in the second period proved to be the right time for the Pointers as the junior signalcaller found Rogers in the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown pass to push the PLHs advantage to 21-0 heading into the locker room at halftime. “That was a good testament to our offense,” Hastings said. “It kept clicking right along and I felt confident that the defense could hold a 21point lead. Our defense shut La Jolla down and played well all night long in giving the offense great field position to work with.” In the third quarter, a sack by LJHS senior linebacker Harper Allen and a blocked punt by junior linebacker Matt Petch gave possession of the ball back to the Vikings. La Jolla quickly capitalized on a 34-yard drive that culminated when SEE VIKES, Page 15
A jury — which on Monday told a judge it was deadlocked 11-1 in the murder case against Seth Cravens — overcame its impasse overnight and on Tuesday, Nov. 18 convicted him of seconddegree murder in the death of professional surfer Emery Kauanui Jr., of La Jolla. The jury also convicted Cravens, 22, of La Jolla, of three felony assaults and two counts of making a criminal threat involving earlier instances in which people were punched in separate incidents. The jury acquitted him of three assault charges involving fights at parties. Cravens looked surprised as San Diego Superior Court Judge John Einhorn read the verdicts on the jury’s sixth day of deliberations. He shook his head several times. Einhorn set sentencing
for Jan. 12. Cravens faces 25 years to life in prison for the murder and the assaults if they are sentenced consecutively, said District Attorney spokesman Paul Levikow. Cravens’ attorney, Mary Ellen Attridge, said she will appeal the verdict but left the courtroom quickly afterward without comment. “These verdicts send a strong message to the community that brutality will not be tolerated,” Deputy District Attorney Sophia Roach said afterward. “They will never replace the life that has been taken. Emery Kauanui’s family will live with this sadness forever.” Jurors also quickly left, and how the one holdout juror changed his or her mind was not answered by the nine-man, three-woman jury.

UCSD to honor Wagner legacy with namesake theater space BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Some people are never celebrated enough. A prime example of suitable tribute is Arthur Wagner, founder and emeritus faculty member of the University of California San Diego’s (UCSD) Department of Theatre and Dance. At a Friday, Nov. 21, campus reception at Galbraith Hall, Room 157, Wagner will receive special recognition for his service and support of the arts. The reception begins at 4 p.m. That special recognition
comes in the form of the Arthur Wagner Theatre, a marvelously adaptable, fully equipped 99seat black box theater used for numerous graduate and undergraduate projects, rehearsals and classes, as well as the annual Baldwin New Play Festival. So now, like playwright Neil Simon on Broadway, Wagner has a theater named for him in La Jolla. “Oh, yeah,” he quips, “but there’s quite a difference in the size of the theaters!” Then SEEWAGNER, Page 5
‘Throat’ sinkhole strangles a.m. traffic BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
City crews worked to fix a sinkhole Tuesday morning, Nov. 18, on Torrey Pines Road at La Jolla Parkway while morning traffic backed up for more than one mile to Pearl Street. City of San Diego water crews received a call that a car drove over a sinkhole, bursting a water main, at about 2 a.m. Tuesday, said City of San Diego Water Department
supervisor Nina Patterson. When crews arrived, they found a 6-inch broken pipe leading to a nearby fire hydrant, Patterson said. No homes or businesses were affected, but crews closed an eastbound lane heading toward Highway 52, tying up morning traffic. The affected intersection, called “The Throat,” is one in a handful of exits from La Jolla. In 2002, the intersection was named the second busiest in the city of San Diego, with
more than 75,000 daily trips, according to the city of San Diego website. Now some residents have voiced concerns, pointing to the intersection’s high traffic concentration in asking planning groups to deny large projects that may increase the number of daily trips. “We had to narrow it down to one lane so that we can make room for the dump truck and equipment,” SEE SINKHOLE, Page 3

Planners deny Chabad BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) board members voted unanimously during the Nov. 6 LJCPA meeting to deny building a La Jolla Chabad at Hidden Valley and Ardath roads. “LJCPA members voted 14-0-0 to uphold the actions of the Permit Review Committee and the Traffic and Transportation Committee to deny the project,” LJCPA board member Darcy Ashley said. “Both of those subcommittees denied the project.” Some residents near the proposed center spoke out against the project, voicing concerns such as an increase in traffic, a building too large for the lot and that the proposed preschool was not permitted inside the La Jolla Shores Planned District. Residents formed an organization called Friends of Hidden Valley to oppose the project. The group formed a Web site and attended area meetings. “Friends of Hidden Valley is committed to preserving the peaceful, uncongested quality of La Jolla’s residential neighborhoods,” the group wrote on the Web site. “We believe there is a more appropriate location for the Chabad complex.” Chabad La Jolla applied for permits to build an 11,666-square-foot religious complex at 2466 Hidden Valley Road and a 12,000-square-foot parking garage. “I want to reiterate to the community that if anyone in La Jolla can find for us an alternative or a better location that won’t drag out for three years, we will be happy to look at that location,” said Chabad La Jolla’s Rabbi Baruch Ezagui. Area residents expressed concerns regarding an increase in parking and
traffic, saying accidents regularly occur around the proposed location. “The biggest thing is that intersection has a rating of ‘F,’” Ashley said. “Because the traffic is so challenging in that area, people are frustrated.” Ashley described the aggressiveness some people exhibit driving through the adjacent intersection that locals call “The Throat” because drivers exit La Jolla immediately onto the freeway. Chabad said it would encourage people not to drive to the center, saving residents’ parking spots. And Ezagui said the organization hired a parking specialist who studied the area’s parking. “It is obvious there is a traffic issue and the traffic issue has nothing to do with us,” Ezagui said. “The traffic study found out that our Chabad would be insignificant based on the number of cars we would generate a day.” Ezagui said La Jolla Chabad would not hold more than 96 people at any given time; the building’s maximum capacity is 96 people, he said. La Jolla Chabad is more of a residential facility, Ezagui said. “Because of all the drivers, you really take your life in your hands,” Ashley said, adding that she has pictures of a car driving down the wrong side of the street. Friends of Hidden Valley attended the November LJCPA meeting, arguing that Chabad needs more parking and the building was too large for the lot. LJCPA is an advisory board to the city of San Diego.

Dog dies after saving owner from fire A woman’s dog may have saved her life Nov. 13 when it barked until she stepped out of the shower and discovered her La Jolla Place apartment was ablaze, according to San Diego Fire Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque. The fire was reported around 9:45 p.m. on Chelsea Avenue and Sea Ridge Drive. The woman’s beloved pug alerted her to the fire, Luque said. She escaped her secondstory apartment and then realized she forgot the very pet that saved her life. She turned
to retrieve the animal but found the door locked, Luque said. “She couldn’t get back in and the dog died of smoke inhalation,” Luque said. “The dog was her best friend. She just kept saying, ‘The little dog saved my life’; she was just sick and heartbroken.” Officials said the fire accidentally started when smoking materials were improperly discarded. Flames were contained to the second story of one unit inside the complex. Four engines and two trucks carried about 30 firefighters to the scene, and it took about 15 minutes to knock down the fire, Luque said. Officials estimated structural

We spent six intense days deliberating and we were able to reach a unanimous [verdict] on all counts. Thank you,” said the foreman, who was identified only as Juror No. 11. Jurors struggled with the case and sent out 10 notes during their deliberations. The content of the notes was not revealed, but they did ask for testimony of four witnesses to be read back to them. Einhorn declined to release the names of the witnesses read back. On Monday, Einhorn seemed poised to declare a mistrial when most of the jurors told him that further deliberations would not end the 11-1 split. Jurors said they had taken four votes on the murder charge. When he asked if the jurors needed anything to help them reach a verdict, one juror said a dictionary would help. Two other jurors said more discussions might lead them to a verdict, so he ordered them back into deliberations. Cravens shook his head as the jurors were led out of the courtroom. Sheriff’s deputies placed a security chain across his chest and handcuffed him as he was led out of the courtroom. Attridge had urged jurors to acquit Cravens, saying the May 24, 2007 fight outside the victim’s home had elements of self-defense.

Cravens did not testify, but codefendants Matthew Yanke and Henri “Hank” Hendricks, both 22, did. It was Yanke who said Kauanui came within 5 inches of Cravens’ face and yelled an expletive for the group coming to his house. Attridge did a dramatic roleplay in her closing argument by posing as the surfer and yelled the obscene word in the face of the prosecutor three times, saying the prosecution had been “a runaway train.” Yanke and Eric House, 21, both pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and were sentenced to 210 days in jail on Sept. 5. Orlando Osuna, 23, got 349 days in jail after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Hendricks pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and received 90 days in jail. Hendricks has since been released from jail. The sheriff’s department Web site says Yanke and House will be released on Jan. 3 and Dec. 24, respectively. Osuna will be released on Feb. 22, 2009, according to jail records. ■

Planning Commission denies Hillel BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Planning commissioners denied Hillel’s proposed La Jolla project Nov. 6, voting 4-1 against recommending approval of the controversial Jewish student center. City of San Diego Planning Commissioner Tim Golba said the group denied Hillel — a nonprofit group proposing to build a 12,100-square-foot Jewish student center on a .76-acre triangular site adjacent to UC San Diego at 8976 Cliffridge Ave. — based on three factors. Hillel representatives submitted the current project after residents sued the organization over technicalities regarding the first proposed student center on the same site. Hillel adjusted parking and environmental factors, which tied up the first project in litigation. But La Jolla’s planning groups voted against the second project and Golba said planning commissioners were still concerned about factors such as parking and the project’s legalities. “For parking they chose to use the auto lifts, which caused concerns,” Golba said. To adjust for the area’s parking shortage, Hillel designed lifts that
The question remains, is it really legal? TIM GOLBA SAN DIEGO PLANNING COMMISSIONER
would raise cars, allowing for added garage space. Golba said commissioners worried about “queuing” problems, adding that Hillel’s solution was to have constant valets. “The bigger problem we had was that [the lift design] didn’t fit into the building,” Golba said. Hillel representatives made a parking agreement with UCSD, but commissioners said the gesture was futile. “The offsite parking agreement with UCSD expires in 2012 — it’s first-come, first-serve, and so if UCSD students were using it then they were out of luck,” Golba said. Residents continued to raise questions regarding Hillel’s use, mainly whether a student center
is appropriate for that site. “The last issue was if [Hillel] was even legal because the [La Jolla] Shores Planned District Ordinance allows primarily religious uses or buildings as long as they are primarily religious,” Golba said. “But the student center is arguably institutional except on Friday night.” Golba said the design includes computer labs and lounges, lending credence to its institutional uses. “The question remains, is it really legal?” Golba said. “Of course, our role is to pass it on to city council and we are focusing on the fact that the parking causes us great concern.” Hillel’s attorneys plan to take the project to the San Diego City Council, possibly as early as Dec. 3, according to Golba. “It appeared as if they’re very concerned with trying to get to council before the shift in council members occurs,” Golba said. Hillel must go in front of San Diego City Council for approval or denial of the project. The next San Diego City Council meeting will occur Dec. 3.

GUEST EDITORIAL
No apologies needed in voting in favor of Prop 8 BY DAVE THOMAS
arlier this decade, a sizeable portion of California citizens voted that they wanted marriage to stay defined as between a man and a woman. After that vote was overturned by four judges back in May of this year, proponents of traditional marriage managed to get enough signatures to bring the issue to a vote on Nov. 4. Once again last Tuesday, the passage of defining marriage as that between a man and a woman passed in California by some 500,000 votes, according to the most recent available numbers. And what are same-sex couples doing about this? Once again, they’re trying to throw out the majority’s vote and tie up the issue in court. Didn’t we go through this circus once before? Several legal groups filed a writ petition last week with the state Supreme Court, urging the invalidation of Prop 8. The petition claims that Prop 8 is invalid because the initiative process was improperly used in an attempt to undo the Constitution’s core commitment to equality for everyone by eliminating a fundamental right from just one group: lesbian and gay Californians. Spending for and against Prop 8 hit $74 million, making it the most expensive social-issues campaign in the nation’s history and the most expensive campaign this year outside the race for the White House. For those that argue that influences outside of California got Prop 8 passed by a major funding of the measure, outside groups were equally supportive in contributing to No on 8. So while it looks like the Prop 8 vote is going to hold in favor of those banning same-sex marriage, gays and lesbians now want to tie the issue up in court for a second time. Whatever happened to majority rule? Should we now contest every race whose outcome we don’t like? I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin, but my side lost, so I will live with the decision. Should I run down to the nearest courthouse and complain each time a vote doesn’t go my way or that of millions of others? What is the sense of having an election in the first place if we don’t want to live with the results? Why not just have judges who have political agendas make decisions for us then? Many of us who supported Prop 8 have no issue with making sure same-sex couples are entitled to the same medical care, insurance and other rights that heterosexual couples have. We just draw the line at redefining marriage. If we don’t draw the line, then what is to stop those who practice and support polygamy in California from wanting a legal marriage certificate? Would we also change the laws to allow males to marry females under 18 without parental consent? Redefining marriage as anything other than that between an adult male and an adult female opens the barn door to myriad issues. Two votes, similar outcomes. As a supporter of Prop 8, I hope this is the end of this issue. If it is not, I’m prepared to defend my belief that many others in this state and nationwide have. We’re not the bigots you may think we are. We’re just a sizeable portion of the population who believe in the traditional values we were raised with. And for that, I do not apologize.

ACCOUNTING
An ‘A’ for C and D
More funding to take care of Mission Bay Park (Prop C) and no more out-of-control alcohol use on our beaches (Prop D) — finally, common sense has prevailed. Councilmember Kevin Faulconer took a lot of heat for his leadership on both of these fronts, but in the end, the majority of San Diegans agreed with him. I appreciate the way he worked with the neighborhoods and business communities to get input and support. I know not everyone is pleased with the results, but how refreshing to see an elected official who doesn’t back down when things get tough. I am an avid ocean swimmer; it’s a great way to relax from the pressures of my private law practice, but I haven’t even wanted to touch the fouled water in Mission Bay for 30 years. This new infusion of funding, which comes from the park itself rather than from my taxes, will be a great help in preserving wildlife habitats and improving the enjoyment for everyone. For me, one of the worst parts about going to the beach is that unsettled feeling of not knowing whether the people who are drinking are going to control themselves. I am relieved that now I can go and relax in the beauty of nature without that gnawing concern. Thank you, San Diego voters, and thank you, Councilmember Karen Fast, manager Faulconer.

How would you feel one day if you walked down the street and your favorite restaurant had closed up? Or your favorite bookstore, or your favorite gift shop? In this economic crunch that we find ourselves in, the possibility is very real for any of the above. As we find ourselves in the midst of big corporate chain stores and franchises, the small, family-owned businesses are struggling to stay alive. The time is now to pay attention to whom you appreciate, who you would like to have be around next year. If you only go out to dinner once a week instead of two or three times, make it be to the restaurant you want to see in business in the future. If you need a card, or a book, or a unique, special present, frequent the small shop owner, the one who goes out of their way to make your purchase special. Shop La Jolla; put thought and meaning into your purchase. Choose carefully. La Jolla is very special. There are plenty of places to park — you just have to look. There are wonderful stores and restaurants. Enjoy being part of a community, a family, see a familiar face. The cultural district is phenomenal, distinct, a unique and peaceful place to visit. Enjoy the village you visit and live in!

As a wife and mother of two, and as a businesswoman, I am writing to thank Councilmember Kevin Faulconer for leading the effort to pass Propositions C and D. The whole point of allowing commercial leases on public parkland was to take the financial burden of maintaining and improving Mission Bay Park off of taxpayers like me. Now that the park will be receiving more of the income generated there, I look forward to enjoying it with our girls, and eventually, with their children. As for keeping alcohol off the beach, I know that we frankly will feel safer and more comfortable going to the beach to enjoy nature, without the dangers and distractions of intoxicated visitors, more and more of whom were coming from beach areas where alcohol is already banned. Councilmember Faulconer stood firm in the midst of heated opposition on both of these propositions. We appreciate his boldness, leadership, and courage. Mrs. Sara Clarke San Diego

Tenor John Zuckerman (center) and Company in Lyric Opera’s “Daughter of the Regiment.”
Donizetti’s ‘Daughter’ hits high notes BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Whenever Gertrude the Griffon delivers the pre-curtain plea for money, an arts organization — Lyric Opera of San Diego in this case — takes a risk of turning off an audience prior to the evening’s frivolity. This happens despite one-note Gertrude’s zinger, “You’re such a lousy ventriloquist,” aimed at director J. Sherwood Montgomery, who had Gertrude’s tail wrapped around his neck. Not known for risk-taking, Lyric Opera also takes a chance in putting patron Teresa Racz Fishlowitz on stage as the Grand Duchess of Krackenthorp in Gaetano Donizetti’s 1840 “Daughter of the Regiment,” playing through Nov. 23 at the Birch North Park Theatre. Aside from a few projection problems (it’s a speaking role and English is the language throughout), Fishlowitz is effectively imperious, especially when rolling her Rs. The libretto is particularly silly, even for a comic opera, but the music and the singing of it, which can be disastrous, is at the least adequate, at the best brilliant, from the excellent chorus to the principal singers. Unfortunately, the chorus ladies’ lovely prayer to the Virgin is undermined by Sherwood’s “comic” directorial distractions, having the Marquise of Berkenfield (Martha Jane Weaver) tremble throughout the entire
chorus with a parasol in her hands. The men’s chorus of Grenadiers sings very well while executing the requisite military moves with aplomb and managing to convey fatherly pride when Marie arrives. The titular Daughter of the Regiment, Marie (secure coloratura soprano Emily Douglass in her company debut) is a battlefield foundling, raised by the Regiment. Her most doting papa is Sgt. Sulpice (bass-baritone Walter DuMelle, the most consistent actor on the stage) who is concerned over Marie’s love for the Tyrolean peasant Tonio (tenor John Zuckerman). The Regiment believes Marie should marry a Grenadier, so Tonio enlists. No sooner has the merriment begun than the Marquise announces that Marie is her niece and drags her off to the chateau to make a lady of her. Act II finds Marie in the Marquise’s drawing room, singing opera arias, when she’d much rather perform regimental music with Sulpice, who shows up with the entire troupe not far behind. Marie is to be married to Duchess Krackenthorp’s nephew that very evening. But this is a comic opera, and true love prevails. Opera lovers worry whether the tenor will manage the string of nine high Cs required by the aria (in French, “Ah, Mes Amis”) in which he declares his love for Marie. Much to the audience’s relief, Zuckerman manages all
with lovely tone and perfect pitch, unlike some international stars. We knew he could do it from hearing his Ernesto in “Don Pasquale” and Don Ramiro in “La Cenerentola.” An appealingly gauche Marie, Douglass, too, has the top voice required for Donizetti’s stratosphere, but her midvoice lacks focus, and as a consequence her diction is nonexistent. Under the baton of General Director Leon J. Natker, the orchestra is particularly good, with kudos to the brass. The Malabar costumes are fetching, and the Stivenello sets are adorable. An outstanding and reliable evening of opera, “Daughter of the Regiment” continues at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 22, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, at Birch North Park Theatre, 2891 University Ave., San Diego, $30-$50 (children 5-17 half price).

They are carefully culled from the countless community-minded women throughout the county who have given selflessly of their time and efforts to make San Diego a better place. They are chosen by former Women of Dedication, who know well what it takes to volunteer for various projects with no thought of returns but purely for the satisfaction of a job well done in whatever area they have helped. This year, the 15 select ones have worked as volonteers in such diverse areas as the Social Service Auxiliary, the Red Cross Rose Society, the Girl Scouts, various hospitals and museums and, not surprisingly, in the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary (SAWA), represented this year by one of the sponsor’s most dedicated women, their most recent past president, Mary Johnson. She and the other recipients each stood proudly to receive the plaudits of their peers. For them, the presentation, held at the home of Lisa Barkett, is only the first step. The major one, the 44th, will take place on March 9, 2009, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.

Spikers serve up wins in league, CIF play LJCD gridders win; BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Several local scholastic girls volleyball teams made it an exciting final week of the regular season before heading into CIF play last week. At The Bishop’s School, the Lady Knights began last week with a tough 26-24, 30-28, 19-25, 25-20 loss to Francis Parker in a 2.5-hour match. Carly Bollert led the Lady Knights with 14 kills, with Thea Derrough adding 11. Kendall Lord was Bishop’s top server (three aces), and Julie Gantz was excellent on defense, tallying 27 digs. On Thursday, the Lady Knights traveled to Canyon Crest, where a win would guarantee at least a tie for the Coastal League championship. After Bishop’s won the first two games (25-16, 25-18), the Ravens rallied to tie the match at 2-2 (24-26, 23-25). Bishop’s squeaked by 15-12 in the fifth to capture the victory. Derrough led Bishop’s in kills with 17, Gantz provided 24 digs and Ina Kamenova had 49 assists and 15 digs. Carly Guiducci came off the bench to provide a great spark, according to Bishop’s head coach Tod Mattox. With La Jolla Country Day’s loss (see below) to Canyon Crest on Friday, Bishop’s finished the season 6-2 in league and earned the Coastal South championship.

In a 21-3 win over El Capitan, the top-seeded Knights got four goals from Scott Siegel while senior captain Demian Tschirn was a force at the center forward position, drawing three ejections and adding three assists. In a 12-4 win over University City High, Bishop’s was led by Tschirn with two goals, two assists, two steals and two drawn ejections. Siegel added four goals, while Matt Michalko tallied three. In Tuesday’s other semifinal, La Jolla was to meet Coronado for the right to move into the championship game. La Jolla advanced to the semis with an 11-4 victory over Valhalla, as Augie Arcidiacono paced the Vikings with six goals.
Bishop’s began CIF play a day later with a 25-5, 25-9, 25-18 win over Mater Dei. Gantz (seven aces), Hannah Saber (four) and Maddie Lord (three) led the way for the Lady Knights, while Taylor Maxey and Kelly Engbring both brought great energy off the bench, according to Mattox. Bishop’s (23-9) was to meet Francis Parker Tuesday evening (Nov. 18) in its next CIF contest. Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day School opened play last week with a three-game victory over Horizon. The Lady Torreys were led on the outside by Lauren Birks and Mollie Rogers, while the middles of Gillian Howard and Jordan Krant were dominant. “Setters Chloe Mathis and Jessie Altman were consistently feeding the hitters, while right side Maggie Whitney and Libero Cheyenne Giesecke also played a key role in the victory,” said LJCD head coach Peter Ogle. LJCD (23-8) moved on to meet Canyon Crest on Friday, where a win would have given the Lady Torreys a piece of the Coastal League crown. Despite the loss in five games to Canyon Crest, Ogle noted, “I was very proud of their effort. We are learning to be strong and I am looking forward to the playoffs. This is going to be a great battle in our division.” For the week, Birks tallied 37
kills and 28 digs, Giesecke had 33 digs, Mathis registered five kills and 41 assists, Krant had nine kills, Altman notched 31 assists, Howard had 16 kills, Whitney recorded four kills and Rogers had 20 kills. The Torreys ended the regular season with a record of 238. LJCD had a bye in the first round of the CIF playoffs and opened play with a 25-11, 25-21, 25-4 victory over Christian High last Friday. Rogers led LJCD in kills with 11, Birks had 10, Howard recorded seven and Krant tallied four. Giesecke led the defense with 11 digs, followed by Birks with 10. Altman dished out 16 assists and Mathis added 11. “The team was serving very tough and made it hard for the Patriots to get into their offense,” Ogle said. LJCD was to meet Santa Fe Christian on Tuesday (Nov. 18) in its next matchup. Finally, La Jolla High (24-11) rolled in its first two CIF contests with victories over Montgomery and Brawley. La Jolla High head coach Dave Jones noted the play of the team’s three senior captains Karly Deer, Amanda Gordon and Caitlin Parmer. La Jolla was to face Canyon Crest on Tuesday (Nov. 18) in its next matchup. ■
City and Cathedral Catholic earlier in the year, all three teams will share the league championship. In last week’s finals, La Jolla was paced by Courtney Avvampato (seventh place, 20:13), Tess Plant-

LJCD netters ace league crown La Jolla, Bishop’s both perform well Every match was BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
The scholastic girls tennis season produced some outstanding results and a league crown along the way for one school. La Jolla Country Day School, under head coach Angela Horacek, finished 12-0 in Coastal League action and 15-4 overall. The Lady Torreys placed second in the CIF Team Division III playoffs. In Coastal League Individuals, Elena and Sophie Najera-Salas won the doubles and were competing in CIF Individuals this week as the number three seed. Elena Najera-Salas was undefeated in league play this year, while the doubles team of Megan and Katie Woods ended the season with a record of 40-14. They were also slated to play this week in the individual tournament. Elsewhere, La Jolla High finished 8-2 for head coach Maggie Mulkins. In the CIF Team playoffs, La Jolla was beaten by Cathedral

Catholic 12-6 in the semifinals. La Jolla placed three singles players and one doubles team into the CIF Individuals draw. Alison Klein placed third in the Western League Individuals, and Darcey Elliott and Tali Gires placed fourth. Klein, along with the team of Elliott and Gires, qualified for CIF Individuals, as did singles players Alex Tonks and Valentine Byrne. “We are an extremely young team and I have great hopes for what we will be able to accomplish next year,” Mulkins said. Finally, The Bishop’s School under head coach Jose Ruelas finished the regular season at 8-4 in Coastal League action and 13-5 overall.
Bishop’s was the number six seed in Division III CIF play and fell to San Marcos in a match that ended 9-9 (71-69 in games for San Marcos). “We were led by senior captains Elizabeth Alexander and Jameson Kearney,” Ruelas said. “Kearney and Camilla Johnston had an awesome year at number one doubles, only losing one set all year. Sophomore Bianca Pham really improved, especially at the number two singles spot.” Pham and Alexander were runner-up in the Coastal League Individual doubles tournament, while Johnston and Kearney placed third. Both teams advanced to the county CIF tournament that began this past Monday. “We had a great season with our losses only at 10-8 or 11-7,” Ruelas continued. “Every match was close; we could have easily been the number two seed in CIF. I am very proud of these girls for working hard all year and greatly improving, especially during playoff time.” Ruelas will return 12 of the 16 players next season, losing Shannon Casey, Kearney, Jenny Booth and Alexander to graduation. ■

“This wasn’t our best performance,” Ponsford said. “Not taking a thing away from Point Loma.” With the win, the Pointers improve their record to 5-4-1 overall and 3-1-1 in the Western League. With the loss, the Vikings fall to 4-6 overall and 2-3 in Western League play. ■

Lung cancer survivor Mike Stevens is working to remove the stigma of the disease, calling for more funding for research and treatment.
Cancer survivor speaks out for more treatment BY STEPHANIE A. ALDERETTE | VILLAGE NEWS
Scared was the original feeling, but it quickly turned around, and the fight came back after Mike Stevens was diagnosed with lung cancer, a disease that according to the Lung Cancer Alliance will kill more people than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers combined. “I just came up on three years of living with the disease on June 23, and now I am angry that such a major disease can be virtually ignored,” Stevens said. “Many people, including politicians, believe that lung cancer is being funded, but nothing could be further from the truth.” Stevens, who has been telling his story to whoever will listen and has never shied away from being vocal about the matter, said he believes that lung cancer is most underfunded of all major cancers. “I’m lucky that I have survived so far when most people don’t,” he said. “This is something that I couldn’t just leave for others to do, especially since there aren’t many people surviving and I have taken on the advocacy role as co-
chair in California for the Lung Cancer Alliance.” Stevens, 46 and lives in La Jolla, was forced to sell his camera-shop business after more than 20 years so he could focus his own health and become an advocate for lung cancer research. “Lung cancer has the stigma behind it that those with the disease deserve it, but no one deserves cancer,” Stevens said. “Smokers and nonsmokers deserve treatment, and many of my friends who have lung cancer or who have lost a spouse to it are nonsmokers.” When the American Cancer Society (ACS) released its 2008 statistics report and did an indepth analysis of the disease, it suggested that this disease could potentially take 7.6 million lives annually. However, the report also suggested that cancer deaths in United States have declined. “Two people in La Jolla have most influenced my journey,” Stevens said. “And although I won’t mention their names, but they know who they are — whenSEE CANCER, Page B·6

Mayor’s call for cuts slices beach services BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
Midyear city budget cuts to make up an estimated $43 million 2009 budget shortfall has residents concerned over looming threats of loss of public facilities and services. The list contains a proposal to eliminate emergency medical services at La Jolla Fire Station 9 and contract the service to an outside vendor. If passed, the mayor concludes there would be
no reduction in emergency services. Deep cuts include closing the Ocean Beach library, eliminating pressure-washing services at Ocean Beach Pier and shuttering of about 14 restrooms in Mission Beach during winter — all are on the list of possible money-saving cuts, according to a mayoral report. The recommendations represent a reduction of expected incoming property, sales and
tourists’ tax dollars in a slowing economy, said Rachel Laing, spokesperson for the mayor’s office. “It’s not as if we didn’t anticipate lower tax revenue, and we were really conservative if not pessimistic about estimates,” she said. “It’s just that nobody knew just how deep it would be and how short we would fall.” The City Council listened to residents’ concerns in a daylong SEE CUTS, Page B-2

Why it is wise to plant sage BY LINDA MARRONE | VILLAGE NEWS
Sage and thyme make great companion plants for a winter herb garden. COURTESY PHOTO
With Thanksgiving on the horizon, I make certain there are plenty of herbs in my garden to add to autumn recipes, especially sage. The scent of sage reminds me of the holiday season, and it is the perfect herb to complement many of the foods we serve this time of year, most notably turkey and stuffing. Believed to impart wisdom by many cultures throughout the world, sage, botanically known as salvia, is part of a very
diverse group of plant,s with more than 800 different species. While sage is widely known as a culinary herb, not all sage is edible. Salvia officinalis, also known as garden sage, is the most common variety used in cooking. Native to the sunny, warm regions of the Mediterranean, wild garden sage has been used for thousands of years, not only for its earthy flavor but also for its medicinal properties. The word salvia comes from the Latin salveo, which means to heal, and over the centuries the herb
has been used to cure headaches, sore throats and many other ailments. Many varieties of sage are native to the Americas and can be found in the hot, arid desert landscape, along the coast or in the lower mountain areas. There are about 18 varieties native to California. Cleveland or musk sage is native to San Diego and grows along the coast and to the edge of the Anza Borrego dessert.

BUSINESS & FINANCE CUTS
Aquatic Center plugs into solar power BY DAVE KENSLER | VILLAGE NEWS
The sun is going to shine brightly on the Mission Bay Aquatic Center (MBAC) when it begins to receive its monthly electric bills. Just a few weeks ago the center completed a three-month conversion project to solar power. “The goal from the beginning was to be 100 percent self-sustaining,” said center director Glen Brandenburg. “In other words, we produce through solar power all the electricity we need for the year.” According to Brandenburg, the conversion to solar power for the aquatic center, which mistakenly is often viewed as a separate company but instead is a joint venture between San Diego State University (SDSU) and University of California San Diego (UCSD), is a natural progression. “We have been going green long before such a phrase was popular,” he said. “For example, our restrooms are lit by skylights. A number of years ago we started using super high reflectors for our lights and thus went from needing four light bulbs down to two per fixture. We purchased a high-efficiency washing machine.” The effort to install the solar electricity system began a few years ago and involved navigating through state and local rules and regulations. While the process has been more complicated due to nature of the center’s connection to the two universities compared to a small business owner or resident interested in the same conversion,
it has made Brandenburg very knowledgeable on the subject, and he is quick to note a few key issues which apply to everyone. “Before you can install a solar system there needs to be an energy audit done to make sure you are already operating at a reasonably high efficiency level,” he said. “Otherwise then all you will do is waste solar power energy.” The cost comparison of conservation versus producing is also a factor. “It costs five times less to conserve one watt of electricity than it does to make it,” Brandenburg said, “which is another reason for having the energy audit ... to make sure you are doing your best with conservation efforts.” While either a business or individual consumer can install a solar system which gives them only partial energy support, say 30 percent or 50 percent, the aquatic center, in order to be 100 percent self-sustaining, had to do “zero out” its consumption, Sometimes during the year production may exceed consumption, and other times it may be the opposite. but at the end of the year, the energy used matches the energy produced. Because with solar power it is virtually impossible to produce exactly the right amount of electricity needed on a daily basis, you can “stockpile” extra electricity, and then apply it to other time frames during the year. “Fortunately in San Diego we have sunshine year-round,” Brandenburg said. “However, you still
CONTINUED FROM Page 1

produce more electricity than you need during the summer months, so we will receive energy credits for those months. Also, remember, you do not produce energy when it is dark or as much in the winter months.” What if you produce more electricity than you need for the year even after all appropriate credits are applied? Then the utility company simply uses it elsewhere. You do not receive any money or rebate. Anyone who might be quick to complain about that scenario has to point a finger at the entire United States and not just a local power provider, according to Brandenburg. “In Europe they have what are called ‘feed-in-tariffs’ where people can be paid to produce electricity,” he said. “Right now they do not exist in the USA, although Florida is considering it.” In theory, this could mean a corn farmer, for example, could replace his entire crops with solar panels and then literally sit back and earn money while selling electricity generated from those panels to utility companies. There are other benefits to solar power, some not visible and others
quite clear. “Our solar system will reduce C02 emissions by 82,000 pounds per year,” Brandenburg said. Another benefit might be in your electric bills. It has been estimated that solar systems installed on 25 percent of the buildings, rooftops, parking garages and similar structures could provide San Diego with 100 percent of its electrical needs. Solar power has the capability now to at least reduce peak load demands for electricity. This typically happens between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., and most noticeably during the hotter summer months. This is also when electricity costs the most to use, because often more is being consumed than produced, so it has to be brought in from other sources. “This has the potential to save consumers billions of dollars over the long term,” Brandenburg said. “It is really quite simple. The sun comes up and energy is produced. As well, the energy from the sun is free. You can actually watch your electric meter go backwards.” The Mission Bay Aquatic Center is located at 1001 Santa Clara Place. For more information visit www.missionbayaquaticcenter.com.

Ask Aubrey
we in a Q. Are Recession? A.
Although there is some speculation that the US economy entered a bear market and possible recession 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. Remember Mr. Buffet’s recent comments in his interview in The New York Times “A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. Buy American. I am.”

Effective Nov. 29th
hearing Wednesday, Nov. 12, but an official response by the council or the mayor’s office was not available by press time. Councilman Kevin Faulconer, who sits on the city’s Budget and Finance Committee, said he’s working with an independent budget analyst to “look at the assumptions behind the numbers.” He didn’t have specifics as to what facilities and services would likely get the ax. Asked which programs and buildings in the beach communities he would like to see survive budget cuts, “Everything that’s on that list is important,” Faulconer said. While city officials scramble to come up with answers to the community’s questions, those directly affected by impending cuts have to deal with an uncertain future. Cabrillo Recreation Center, located at 3051 Canon St., is named one of nine centers recommended for closure, which would save the city about $2.3 million in personnel and maintenance costs. Walter Heyward, who’s worked as a camp director at Cabrillo Rec for more than 10 years, said he’s disappointed the center might close. He said the after-school program he runs has grown from about 15 students to approximately 45 kids from five elementary schools. “I have a lot of parents bring their kids … they just like the programs,” Heyward said. While the facility’s programs may have grown over the years, Park and Recreation officials said the Cabrillo Rec Center is considered one of the smaller facilities, which is why it could be closed, as it wouldn’t affect as many services, according to David Monroe, a deputy director for community parks with the city. He said athletic fields, basketball courts and some athletic programs would remain open, but no equipment would be available for use. “They would have to bring their own basketballs,” Monroe said. “These are tough times and no reduction or cut is an easy cut. It’s just tough,” The mayor’s plan also calls for closing one library in each council district except for District 8. The Ocean Beach Library, which just celebrated its 80th anniversary last month, was listed as the District 2 library for closure. Friends of Ocean Beach Library member George Murphy said there’s always a line to use the computers at the library and doesn’t want to see the community resource shuttered. He said this is the only library many patrons can get to because they either walk or ride bicycles. “We’re not sure that we can stop this, but we want to let OB know that this is happening and … speak out and let these politicians know we’re not pleased with it,” he said. According to the mayor’s proposal, other department cuts include: • Removal of fire rings from along Mission Bay. • Reducing staffing and operation hours at Robb Field and other skate parks from 48 to 40 hours a week. • Eliminate the extra Mission Beach trash collection during summer months. • Elimination of about 216 fulltime city positions.

BUSINESS & FINANCE Waterfront condos approved for facelift BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Residents of a high-rise condominium complex at 939 Coast Blvd. approved minor construction upgrades that started more than one week ago, giving the waterfront building a minor facelift. According to resident and local real estate agent Gregory Thomas, the 44-yearold, 21-story residential building needed some restoration, so C.A. Marengo, of Marengo Morton Architects, designed a new facade and lobby expansion. “This is part of ongoing improvements,” Thomas said. “Everybody’s going to wonder what’s going on when they drive by the con-
struction.” Thomas said the upgrades would escalate property values, adding a water feature to the front façade facing Coast Boulevard. “It’s going to look less like a hotel and more like luxury condominiums,” Thomas said. The building originally housed 164 units, according to Thomas, but some residents joined units. Recently, the association upgraded other features such as a billiards room. And residents plan to continue improvements, focusing on areas such as landscaping, he said. For information, visit www.marengomortonarchit ects.com.

George Hamilton writes funny, charming book about Hollywood BY JAMES COLT HARRISON | VILLAGE NEWS
Charm is a rare commodity, not only in Hollywood but elsewhere in the world. Movie fans automatically think Cary Grant in connection with elegance and charm. But we have a man today who personifies all that is good about elegance and charm. Throw in a great sense of humor, and you have George Hamilton. In his new book about his life, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” Hamilton regales us with amazing stories about the characters he has known and loved throughout his storybook life as a Hollywood mega-star. His mother Teeny was an original Auntie Mame-type character. She was unconventional and raised her three sons in a madcap, carefree way. George and his brothers Bill and David couldn’t help but turn out to be “different” and “unique.” She married and divorced as though she were changing her shoes. Little George was enrolled in one military school after another, often to dire results. He was not a student but loved to make mischief. He was also funny and often cracked up the student body. This made him very popular. Being drop-dead handsome didn’t hurt, either. Hamilton is still funny and handsome, two qualities that have served him well in life. Being tanned has been Hamilton’s “thing” all his life. He gets the original tan from the sun, not cosmetics. He’s always healthy looking, and his
newly silver hair is set off by the glow of his tremendous tan. Apparently he hasn’t suffered any skin damage, and in person he doesn’t look like an old leather suitcase that was used in “Lawrence of Arabia.” George, as a whole package, is marvelous, witty and strikingly good looking, and I hate him. When we met in person, he was impeccable. He has a quality about him that makes all others feel and look like laundry bags. MGM, Hollywood’s greatest studio of the Golden Age, signed Hamilton to a contract when he was 17. If you think he’s stunning today at 69, you should have seen him at 17. There wasn’t a starlet on the lot who didn’t either want him, date him or mother him. He decided that since MGM was a veritable candy store of feminine goodies, he would take the ladies up on all their offers. After all, he was a strapping teenager with raging hormones. He tells a few tales about his love life during this period that are more than tantalizing. It’s a wonder he survived those active days intact without checking into a sanitarium for six months of rest. He fully admits he didn’t know a thing about acting at the time, and some of his early movies prove it. But his photogenic quality and natural charm came through and the studio kept its faith. He went through the usual grooming and training, but he was such a hip and wise teenager that he already was groomed to within an inch of his life. That was wasted

La Jolla YMCA Celebrates Opening of New Gymnastics Center The La Jolla YMCA celebrated the grand opening of their new and improved gymnastics center with a performance by the Ringsted Boys Gymnastics Team from Denmark on Saturday, October 11th. The La Jolla YMCA welcomed the team of thirty-six gymnasts, who put on a show for over 200 attendees. The La Jolla YMCA’s Gymnastics Team met the Ringsted Boys, from Denmark, while traveling, to Austria, as part of Team USA for the World Gymnaestrada in 2007. The Ringsted Boys were interested in coming to the United States on tour and to visit the La Jolla YMCA Gymnastics Team. After a year of planning, the Ringsted Boys arrived in San Diego on October 6th spending the week performing, holding clinics and enjoying Southern California. The team stayed at La Jolla YMCA Firehouse facility. It was a great experience for all and the La Jolla YMCA Gymnastics Team has been invited to Denmark by the Ringsted Boys. Plans for the La Jolla YMCA Gymnastics Team are to perform at the 2011 World Gymnaestrada in Lausanne, Switzerland. For more information on our gymnastics program, contact Kristi Gorney, La Jolla YMCA Program Director at (858)453-3483 x136 or (858)459-1640.
effort on MGM’s part. The future Mr. Dapper was one up on the moguls who ran the studio. Being sharp and smart are two qualities that have sustained his career for more than 50 years. Hamilton is full of stories from Hollywood’s great studio contract days. He counted Robert Mitchum, Cary Grant, Mae West and Judy Garland, among others, as his close friends. He dated the daughter of a U.S. president and married a beautiful woman and produced a son, Ashley Hamilton, a stand-up comic who is just as funny as his father. The book is a fun read. It tells about Hamilton’s contract with MGM in 1958 and how he spent the 1960s making films with such screen greats as Kirk Douglas, Olivia DeHavilland, Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner (who recently wrote his own autobiography, “Pieces of My Heart”). Hamilton later had worldwide hits with “Love at First Bite” and “The Godfather, Part III.” Glamorpuss Lana Turner co-starred as his sister on the lavish TV series “The Survivors,” which ironically didn’t survive. Every career has its low and high points, but Hamilton managed to revitalize his presence with an appearance on TV’s “Dancing With The Stars.” If you love tales from Hollywood, then this is the book for you. Hamilton knows everybody of today and knew all the greats from the past. He’s young and fresh as ever, and his humor never wanes. He’s a terrific storyteller and an even better actor. “Don’t Mind If I Do,” by George Hamilton and William Stadiem, A Touchstone Book, A Division of Simon & Schuster, New York, ISBN-13:9781-4165-4502-6, © 2008 by George Hamilton, 305 pages, $26 hardcover.

There are many wise reasons to plant sage in your garden, since all varieties are droughttolerant and virtually pest-free, and it will attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds to your garden. Sage is also said to repel white moths from surrounding plants where they would usually lay their eggs. There are many different varieties of sage that will grow year-round in our Southern California gardens and they flower in a multitude of colors, including red, pink, purple, blue and gold.

Since sage prefers the same sunny, dry environment as rosemary and thyme, all three herbs are easily grown together. Just like rosemary and thyme, sage is a woody herb and will need to be cut back each spring. In the summer after the flowers fade, remove the spent blossoms and trim the plant to shape it. Over time, usually after two to three years, culinary sage will become very woody and will not produce as many leaves, so at this time it should be replaced. California native sage should be planted in the garden where it can stretch out and grow. Culinary sage is a perfect plant to grow in containers, since the plants are relatively small. A pot filled with sage, thyme and rosemary makes a nice host or hostess gift if you are going to someone’s home for Thanksgiving dinner. Sage has an aromatic, strong flavor, and it’s best to use small amounts in your recipes so that it will not overpower your dish. While you can dry sage, as with most herbs I find the flavor completely different than fresh. If you do not have sage growing in your garden, try purchasing fresh sage at the grocery store, which seems to be readily available this time of year. A fragrant alterna-

tive to stuffing the turkey with traditional dressing is to stuff it with a few branches of sage, rosemary and thyme, along with an onion cut in half and an orange that has been stuck with a fork a few times. The earthy flavors of sage also enhance this make-ahead potato dish that is great for Thanksgiving:
Mashed Potato Gratin with Fresh Sage (Recipe serves 8) • 6 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces • 6 whole garlic cloves, peeled • 1/2 cup heavy cream • 1 stick (half cup) unsalted butter, reserve 1 tab. • 6 oz. soft goat cheese • 2 tab. fresh sage leaves, finely minced • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes and garlic with enough salted water to cover by at least ½ inch and simmer covered for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the
cream with the butter and goat cheese, stirring until the butter and cheese are melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the sage, season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and keep warm. When potatoes are done, drain them very well. Mash the potatoes and the garlic cloves with a potato masher, add the cream mixture and beat the potato cream mixture with an electric mixer until it is fluffy and smooth – do not over beat. Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish, dot with the remaining 1 tab. butter and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. The top will be lightly browned. This dish can be assembled unbaked two days ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before baking on the day you plan to serve it. — Linda is a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker who specializes in historic and architecturally designed homes.

Brazilia brings the full spa treatment to UTC BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Brazilia Skin Care, La Jolla – located in University Towne Centre – could be the future of the spa world, offering a long list of services and skin care lines. Owner Excelda Imermam, who, with her experience and long list of clients considers herself a pioneer in Brazilian bikini waxing trend. She credits her success to Brazilia’s famous customer service. “In San Diego and La Jolla I was the first to bring the Brazilian wax,” Imermam said. “I was the pioneer.” Imermam began years ago with one client, she said. Now more than 34,000 people has visited Brazilia for services, Imermam said. “We also do medical services and laser hair removal,” she said. The Brazilian bikini wax was once whispered about around the water cooler, but it is such a fashionable thing to do now, Imermam said. “It takes about 12 minutes,” Imermam said. “It is removing all the hair below the bikini line – front to back.” Imermam said she has many
famous clients, but her goal is to help her customers with fast, friendly service. “We target the working woman,” said Brazilia Skin Care manager Gia Imermam. Imermam said the business’ extended hours (it is open until 9 p.m.) has opened the door for women not thought of as ordinary spa clients. “The hours are really important,” Imermam said. Spa clientele may sit around receiving treatments all day, whereas at Brazilia, skincare specialists try to accommodate their clients’ schedules, she added. Although Brazilia specializes in Brazilian waxing, Imermam said the store employs a head nurse along with 10 licensed estheticians who practice specialties from laser hair removal to photofacials to Botox and dermal fillers. Brazilia, which caters to men and women, also carries dermatological products such as TriLuma to treat skin conditions such as melasma, or darkening of the skin. Imermam said the company accommodates its clients’ pocketbooks, with electronic coupons sent monthly.
