Bird Rock on edge after park assault Bike path is scene of other incidents BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

A La Jolla woman was sexually assaulted and then punched in the face Tuesday, Nov. 18 while walking on a popular bike path near Gravilla and Draper streets. Community leaders issued warnings to residents who use the stretch of remote dirt pathway, recalling similar incidents occurring over the past year. At about 6:40 a.m. Tuesday, a neighbor alerted San Diego firefighters at Station 13 that a woman was lying on the bike path injured, said San Diego Police Department Detective Gary Hassen. Rescuers found the woman, who said she

had been beaten and sexually assaulted while walking on the path, he said. Although police found a man nearby who fit the woman’s description of her attacker and took him into custody, he was later relased, Hassen said. Firefighters took the La Jolla woman to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for injuries to her face. “Regrettably, an incident Tuesday morning reminds us to be careful in using the path,” Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) members said in an e-mail. “The bike path is a favorite trail for jogging, walking or just getting away from city streets and a very unique amenity for La Jollans. However, we need to be cognizant of the SEE ASSAULT, Page 4

University City rallies to save south library BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

University City (UC) residents have recently clashed over several controversial issues, but community members came together Nov. 18 and 22, rallying to collect signatures in an effort to save the south UC library. Residents sent petitions to Mayor Jerry Sanders and council members, asking for his support. “The City Council — when they made their decision Tuesday — said it directly impacted their vote,” University City Community Association (UCCA) member Sandy Lippe. “[Councilman Jim] Madaffer

said he received hundreds of emails and Scott Peters said he hasn’t seen UC pull together like this.” Despite a large pension deficit, the San Diego City Council voted 6-1 Monday, Nov. 25 to keep libraries and recreation centers open for the next six months. However, UC residents said they Sanders’ recent call for the cuts. “I feel good. I know we saved libraries for another six months, but what is painful is the mayor will probably put the [libraries] on the chopping block in another six months,” Lippe said.

It never seems to get old for The Bishop’s School boys water polo program. The Knights wrapped up yet another CIF crown last Saturday evening with a 4-3 victory over Coronado High in a Division II battle in La Jolla. Justin Wolfe got the game-winner for the Knights late in the third period, and Bishop’s shut out the Islanders in the final quarter for the victory. Bishop’s (24-7) tied the contest in the third quarter on a goal from sophomore Matt Michalko, while goaltender Christian Ronald kept the Islanders at bay for the remainder of the game. Bishop’s head coach Jim Fales

credited a number of players on the night, as the Knights won their eighth CIF title. “Demian Tschirn played superb defense and contributed one goal and several drawn exclusions,” Fales noted. “I was very proud of his effort. Scott Siegel won every sprint, which gave us four more possessions than Coronado. He left everything in the pool. Justin Wolfe’s goal was a thing of beauty and he played with great focus tonight. “Billy Tifft has been our ‘match up’ defender the past three years. He shared most of the load guarding their best player (Alex Johnson) and was a recipient of the San Diego CIF Sportsmanship award (given to him at the

conclusion of the game). Christian Ronald, our goalie and the cornerstone of our defense, gave up only three goals in the biggest game of his high school career, including the game-saving block for the win.” Fales also noted the efforts of Drew Hoffenberg and Michalko, both sophomores who contributed with one goal each. Michalko made two big steals at the end of the game to help clinch it. Ollie Feune de Colombi, Emilio Marrero and David Higginson each played stifling defense and were instrumental in the win, according to Fales. “Every championship (eight) this program has won has been SEE TITLE, Page 4

LJCD harriers capture Div. IV crown Lady Vikings third, qualify for state meet BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

Alex Morch holds a sign supporting the south UC Library on Governor Drive during a Nov. 18 protest of the library’s proposed closure.

A pair of local cross country teams turned in some top performances last weekend in different CIF divisional races. On the boys side, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School captured the Division IV CIF crown. The effort included a valiant effort from senior Alex Poyhonen, who despite being weak-

ened by the race managed to cross the finish line. Teammates Dennis Roth and Lee Klitzner also crossed the line to send the Torreys to victory. Poyhonen gave an outstanding effort just to cross the finish line after falling (possibly to dehydration) during the race. LJCD head coach Scott Sanders was there at the end to catch Poyhonen as he crossed the finish line. “There have been questions about whether Alex should have been encouraged to keep going

when he was so clearly struggling,” Sanders said. “I have coached Alex for four years and obviously know him very well. I knew how important finishing was for him, and what kind of a competitor he is. As long as he was able to get back up, I had to let him keep going and keep encouraging him. It was his last race in San Diego, his shot at the state meet, and that of his team as well. “I was right there next to him, SEE CROWN, Page 4

Libraries avoid the ax despite mayor’s call for deep cuts BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS

A large pension deficit notwithstanding, the San Diego City Council voted 6-1 Monday, Nov. 25, to keep libraries and recreation centers open despite calls from the mayor to make the deep cuts. District 7 Councilman Jim Madaffer said the city needs to stop “kicking the can down the road” to cover the city’s estimated $43 million budget shortfall this year. Council voted to tap hotel transient occupancy taxes, library system improvement funds and infrastructure money to keep the much-loved community buildings and services. The vote protects Fire and Rescue department services from current budget cuts but increases the Junior Lifeguard program fee to about $500 a student. The council also voted to close the city’s community service centers, which offers a variety of services such as a free monthly immunization clinic for children, general city information and drop-off services for city bills. The mayor is unlikely to veto the council’s decision, according to a mayoral spokesperson. The incoming City Council will revisit budget issues again in May.

NEWSbriefs Cyclist loses control, hit on La Jolla Village Drive An out-of-control cyclist was pinned underneath a pickup truck Monday morning, after losing control of his bicycle at the Mobil service station at La Jolla Village Drive and Villa La Jolla Drive. At about 9:30 a.m. Nov. 24, a man bicycling down Villa La Jolla Drive toward La Jolla Village Drive lost control and slid underneath an oncoming pickup truck, said San Diego Police Department Traffic Division Officer Brian Young. “It occurred in the parking lot of the gas station,” Young said. “He was underneath the vehicle, but he wasn’t stuck. He was breathing.” According to police, the 48-yearold male cyclist tried to stop but realized he was traveling too fast, so he ditched the bike, sliding underneath a truck. The truck’s tire rolled onto the cyclist, causing severe injuries, police said. Rescuers took him to Scripps La Jolla Hospital with several fractured ribs, a fractured spleen and a fractured lung, Young said. SEE BRIEFS, Page 7

After campaigning to pass Proposition C, which earmarks funds generated by Mission Bay leases for Mission Bay Park projects, District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer said he kept his “adrenaline in check” as council voted whether or not to dip in Mission Bay’s funds. The mayor proposed tapping $4.9 million designated for Mission Bay capital improvements before Prop C takes effect July 2009, but the council decided against it. Restrooms at Mission Beach and Mission Bay will stay open for now, but funding for beach-area fire rings has been snuffed out. Council also followed a recommendation by the city’s Independent Budget Analyst to ask the mayor to pursue a mandatory work furlough and user fee increases. Reaching into earmarked funds puts off the decision for a real longterm plan, an issue Faulconer said needs to be addressed. Faulconer sits on Budget and Finance Committee and currently chairs the Audit Committee. The Budget and Finance Committee reviews the annual budget, oversees capital projects, taxes and fees. The Audit Committee currently includes Faulconer, District 4

Councilman Tony Young and District 3 Councilwoman Toni Atkins. They’re charged with overseeing the city’s financial business practices and internal financial reporting. The city is currently accepting applications to add three members of the public to the committee because of a voter mandate to restructure the committee. “We know the news in next year’s budget is not going to be better,” Faulconer said. “While these are not easy decisions, [they’re] keeping our focus on some of our core library services and giving [city council] more time to outreach with our community,” Faulconer said at Monday’s council meeting. The decision to protect the pop-

ular programs and services will come at a cost. Some of the money used this time to keep the libraries open was supposed to pay for library improvements. Mayoral spokesperson Rachel Liang said council’s decision could affect the new proposed Downtown Central library, though it is unclear how. Comparing the city budget to managing household budgets, Liang said the money being tapped by the council may not be there next year. “They (council) financed the grocery bill and paid it with savings and tax returns. So it’s not putting us in good standing next year,” Liang said. She added that departments already stretched thin will have an estimated $53 million shortfall next year, she said. The city’s budget process for fiscal year 2010 starts in February of next year. Threats of closing libraries sparked a public outcry at several libraries across the city marked for closure — including Ocean Beach and the South University Community libraries. Clairemont branch library was also threatened with closure because it’s smaller and within a few miles of other libraries, including the Pacific

Beach branch and the newer North University Community branch, according to an Independent Budget Analyst report. One Ocean Beach business owner even offered about 5 percent of his two weeks of sales to help keep the Ocean Beach Library open. Isauro “Izzy” Elizondo, owner of Falling Sky Pottery, 1951 Abbott St., said he’s just trying to do his part. “I hope this effort would be followed by others in Ocean Beach. If local businesses are willing to put money into the local library, that would say a lot about the community itself,” he said. Faulconer said he would work the community to come up with additional ideas to make up for the budget shortfall. With fewer people spending because of mortgage crises and market dips, tax revenue coming to city coffers has gone way down. The most recent budget problems fall on top of the city’s ongoing underfunded pension obligations. The San Diego city attorney said recently at a City Council budget meeting that the pension deficit — now estimated at $2.8 billion — is another reason why the city has to make cuts in services. ■

remoteness of the trail and what that entails.” Meanwhile, BRCC members issued an e-mail warning residents of the attack and reminding locals that similar incidents have occurred along that same stretch. “It’s a good reminder to be aware and to be cautious,” BRCC member Michelle Fulks said. “The e-mail was to make people aware and to remind people.” A handful of incidents occurred over the past year, Fulks and other BRCC members said, asking the community to remain on guard while using the path. “There was a guy walking a dog off his leash that attacked a boy and his mother,” Fulks said of a previous attack. “Then a sixthgrade boy was riding his bike from Muirlands when a guy jumped out of the bushes. The mom was 30 feet behind, so that was good. But a few days prior to that, a man tried to accost a single female in approximately the same place.” Although the police are aware of the incidents, they can’t pro-

Group members offered citizens tips to stay safer while using the trail. “Until the community and the police determine a larger strategy, we must be careful on how we use it. In twilight hours, don’t use it alone,” BRCC said. “Encourage school-age kids to travel with a buddy during all times of the day. Be aware of your surroundings.” Community leaders said path users should be vigilant while entering and exiting the path. “If you see suspicious behavior, report it to the police or the fire station where the bike path ends at Nautilus,” council members said. ■

unique,” Fales went on to say. “This championship has a special significance because of the bond this team formed. They played 11 onegoal games this season. Four other games were decided by less than three goals. Almost every game was a rollercoaster ride.” The ride for Bishop’s was all the more enjoyable considering the level of competition they had to face this season. Bishop’s defeated number one division Carlsbad in OT. The Knights had huge wins over Orange County powerhouse Villa Park and nationally ranked Newport Harbor. Bishop’s won the City Western League Championship, which is one of the toughest leagues in high school water polo. “The CIF championship game against Coronado was a great sporting event,” Fales noted. “The

Wolfenzon (the team’s sixth man, non-scoring) was 20th. Jake Mack would finish a minute later, in 36th place. “The strong races of Lee and Dennis, coupled with the scores of Alex and Eric, ensured the team victory,” Sanders remarked. “We beat Christian by a score of 57 to 68. Had Alex (Poyhonen) not been able to finish, Noah’s score would have also brought us the win.” What may have seemed like an eternity for Poyhonen to finish just showed everyone involved what kind of effort the young man was willing to give for his teammates on this day.

“In the three minutes or so it took Alex to struggle through those last few hundred yards, his character and that of his teammates was completely revealed and exposed,” Sanders continued. “As wrenching as it was to watch Alex suffer and see one of his dreams evaporate (winning the meet), his courage and drive were inspiring. He was on a personal mission to finish his last CIF race, to be sure, but I know that his main concern in finishing was for his team. That Dennis and Lee would stop racing with only seconds to go out of concern for their fallen teammate was equally inspiring. That all of the boys ran their hearts out, making sure they did their part in a championship race — well, they’ve done that all year, but it still pleases me every time. I was also incredibly impressed and touched by the concern shown by the Country Day parents, students and teachers who were there, and also by Alex’s competitors.” On the girls side, LJCD also turned in some good times, as Sam Staszak just missed qualifying for the state meet as an individual; her time of 19:38 was about seven seconds off 12th place. Senior Sasha Binderow finished 25th in her final cross country race, with the team finishing fifth overall. “With a core group of freshmen on the team, we’re hoping for big improvement next year,” Sanders noted. Elsewhere, the La Jolla High girls team placed third in the Division III CIF finals, qualifying for the state meet this weekend in Fresno. Of 70 teams at CIFs, La Jolla finished 13th overall. La Jolla was led by seniors Nihal Kayali (fifth place, 17:35), Courtney Avvampato (10th, 17:54), Tess Plant-Thomas (18th, 18:18), Tatevick Simavoryan (33rd, 19:03), Ilanna Fricks (34th, 19:03), Jeanine Mejares (41st, 19:25) and Zoe Wescoe (50th, 19:46). “Everybody had very strong finishes; Courtney Avvampato and Tess Plant-Thomas came on very strong in the last 150 yards to pass several girls to make our trip to States possible,” La Jolla head coach Roger Karnopp said. Karnopp also noted the efforts of Kayali, who has been recovering from a stress fracture of her femur. Kayali trained hard in recent weeks to ready herself for the CIFs, making it possible for La Jolla to do well. “Without her (Kayali) having that dedication, the team would not have the success they had,” Karnopp added. ■

Attorney sues NOAA, saves seals for now New suit will be filed in federal court BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

La Jolla’s seals continue to whirl around the Children’s Pool drain as attorneys dragged feds into the controversy, fighting over whether to frighten away the marine mammals before moving forward with the city’s dredging process. “[Attorney Brian] Pease filed another lawsuit in federal court,” said Paul Kennerson, attorney for Valerie O’Sullivan, who first sued the city for allowing La Jolla’s harbor seals to interfere with citizens swimming and diving. “He sued the government to require them to get a permit to get rid of the seals. The city said they agreed with Pease but the government made a motion to dismiss the case.” Pease, attorney for the Animal Protection and Rescue League (APRL) SealWatch, sued the federal government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for failing to enforce the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The federal MMPA preempts enforcement of state law, Pease said. La Jolla’s harbor seal colony is protected under the federal MMPA. A previous ruling said the city of San Diego must dredge the sand at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool beach – a natural harbor seal rookery – until the area is restored to its 1941 condition. But Kennerson said the city

couldn’t dredge until the harbor seal colony is removed. “We said they need a permit to do that,” Pease said. “The city has a $43 million budget shortfall now and they would have to hire a full-time staff person to disperse the seals.” San Diego Superior Court Judge Yuri Hofmann had previously ruled on submission that he would order the city to remove the seal colony. Pease said he went to federal court, where Judge William Q. Hayes signed a temporary restraining order Oct. 22, protecting the seals until Nov. 25. Hayes then extended the temporary restraining order until Feb. 13 – the new court date for Pease and NOAA and the city, Pease said. “Ideally, we would agree that the city would apply for a permit and no seals would be dispersed until the city gets that permit,” Pease said. But the harbor seals’ pupping season lasts through May 30, according to Pease. “I think even NOAA would have a serious problem with [removing seals during pupping season],” Pease said. Kennerson said he plans to file a new suit in federal court. “The federal government wants this dismissed and so do I,” he said. The next state hearing is scheduled for Dec. 8. A settlement conference is scheduled for Jan. 5, and the next federal hearing is scheduled for Feb. 13. ■

PLJ settles with two board members BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

Promote La Jolla (PLJ) President Deborah Marengo announced on Nov. 13 a settlement between the organization and two board members regarding ongoing litigation over past election discrepancies. Despite settling more than one year of conflict and court cases, a newly elected PLJ board may continue arguing over accrued attorneys’ fees. PLJ — La Jolla’s nonprofit business improvement district — serves the village merchants using funds collected from business assessment taxes. Two La Jolla business owners, Nancy Warwick and Bob Collins, ran in PLJ’s Oct. 2007 election and then sued the organization after learning two winning incumbents were ineligible. Collins and Warwick were the next highest vote-getters. San Diego Superior Court Judge John S. Meyer ruled PLJ should have seated them, siding with Warwick and Collins, who also asked PLJ to disclose public records. PLJ appealed Meyer’s decision but the higher court denied the request. Although both sides said they wanted to settle the matter, neither accepted an offer until now. “We offered a settlement last April or early May, [though] we were seated on the board,” Warwick said. “They continued to engage in legal actions to prevent us from being on the board.” Warwick said she offered to

settle, asking PLJ board members to accept the two members without additional litigation. Warwick said she agreed not to ask for attorneys’ fees. But Marengo said the litigation resulted in substantial losses for PLJ, adding that Warwick and Collins asked for documents that don’t exist. “Our greater concern as a

Bob and Nancy were paid for by insurance. The other case was their ... problem. STEVE HASKINS ATTORNEY

board is the repercussions this action had on our budget planning because we have such little funding each year … every dollar counts,” Marengo said in a written release. “In the end this action has cost the organization over $8,000 in FY 09 because of pro-active steps that we had to take and increased insurance premiums.” According to Steve Haskins, attorney for Warwick and Collins, Marengo hired a firm to represent PLJ in the election case but hired an additional attorney representing the organization for other needs, he said. “Marengo has presented herself as a victim when she said

the insurance was covering the legal fees but the premiums went up,” Haskins said. “We have always been told that attorneys’ fees were paid for by insurance, but they had to hire an additional attorney to advise them on the Brown Act that, clearly, they violated.” Marengo hired attorney Leslie Devaney to represent PLJ regarding Brown Act matters relating to public disclosure for nonprofit groups, Haskins said. “Following the Brown Act and the Public Records Act is a matter the board of directors takes very seriously, and the board has engaged legal counsel as a result of this action,” Marengo said. “To our members, this cost amounts to eight months of trash pick-up and street cleaning that can’t happen because the funds are being used elsewhere.” Although Devaney advised PLJ board members on Brown Act matters, the law firm Gordon & Rees represented PLJ during the Collins and Warwick case. “Bob and Nancy were paid for by insurance. The other case was their own problem,” Haskins said. “They needed [Devaney] to advise them on how to comply with the law because they were violating the law and they didn’t want to. They chose to do it because they wanted to maintain control.” PLJ meets the second Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. For more information, visit www.lajollabythesea.com. ■

According to Lippe, hundreds of residents attended the events supporting libraries and encouraged locals to sign petitions.

Nancy Carr, whose 6-year-old daughter attends the elementary school, said she organized the Nov. 18 Curie School rally adjacent to the UC library after learning that her library was on the closure list. “We’ve been going to the library since she was a baby,” Carr said. “I never did anything like this before.

protests during the rally, creating petitions they took to local shopping centers, Lippe said. “Seven communities rallied on Saturday collecting 1,070 signatures in opposition to closing the library, and I did take that to Sanders and city hall,” Lippe said. The decision to protect the popular programs and services will come at a cost. Some of the money used this time to keep the libraries open was supposed to pay for library improvements. Mayoral spokeswoman Rachel Liang said council’s decision could affect plans for the new proposed Downtown Central library. The incoming City Council will revisit budget issues again in May. Lippe said the community should prepare for the months ahead. For more information, or to help local libraries, visit www.supportmylibrary.org. (See related stories on pages 3 and 16.) ■

a colony of apparent African bees at La Jolla Summit. The boy ran into a nesting hive with friends, according to his father. Although the children were treated for their injuries, public officials said people should remember most bees are Africanized. “The public needs to be aware of the fact that when you come across any beehive, it’s Africanized to some degree,” said Chris Conlan of the county’s Department of Environmental Health. “Even with a European beehive, you’re going to get some activity to some degree, so you want to call a professional.” Africanized honeybees are more aggressive, Conlan said. Although other traits are similar to honeybees, people should think of any bee colony as if they were Africanized. If residents spot a beehive, Conlan suggested they get rid of the colony immediately. “Bees are the responsibility of the homeowner. You’re welcome to call the Department of Agriculture, but the longer the hive is allowed to stay in place, the stronger their instinct is,” Conlan said. “They are more aggressive — their instincts to protect the hive [increase].” Although Africanized bees fall under the Department of Agriculture’s (DOA) purview, since the DOA confirmed their appearance years ago, the department no longer tracks sightings, DOA receptionist Marilyn Marshall said.

COUNCIL CORNER

Budget cuts bring pain to community BY SCOTT PETERS

ust a few weeks ago, the City’s Chief Operating Officer, Jay Goldstone, told the Budget and Finance Committee that revenues were significantly less than projected and that the City must take corrective action immediately to close a $43 million deficit. We need to reduce our expenses quickly to prevent a bad situation from getting worse. San Diego is one of a legion of municipalities across the nation and around the world facing daunting fiscal shortfalls. Economists across the board agree that the economy is not going to recover quickly from its current malaise. In our case, less than projected property, tourist and sales tax revenues constitute the majority of the shortfall. Though our projected $43 million budget deficit pales in comparison to the California and national deficits, $11 billion and $455 billion, respectively, our situation is serious enough that we’re all going to feel the pain as we close the gap between revenue and expenditures. Individual city employees and their families will be affected, since jobs will have to be eliminated, and residents will lose access to programs and services citywide. The mayor’s office proposes to reduce the Fiscal Year 2009 budget by 10 percent with a plan that eliminates 217 jobs (102 of those are currently vacant), closes seven libraries (including University City Library), reduces city parks’ staff hours and maintenance, and reduces the number of new hires at police and fire departments. Various City programs that are not self-funded would also be eliminated or cut back. Not surprisingly, the idea of

LA JOLLA

closing libraries and curtailing city-sponsored recreation programs is unpopular. At a special Budget and Finance Committee meeting, residents from across the city conveyed their concerns to the council. They spoke movingly about how these measures would affect their lives. My office has received calls and e-mails from more than 800 constituents protesting the proposed cuts. I didn’t run for office to close libraries, or cut services, but I did know, when I took this job, that I would have to make tough decisions. If we don’t act quickly and decisively, the deficit will mushroom and the choices before us will only be worse, and we won’t be one step closer to solving the problem. The Independent Budget Analyst has raised questions about the mayor’s plan and outlined some possible options; we’re analyzing the data to ensure our choices are well-informed. For example, if we do need to close libraries for a period of time, we want to define the time frame and make sure we’ve first explored other options, such as reducing hours at all libraries to avoid closing any. Thank you to everyone who has contacted my office with ideas and concerns. We’re all in this together. Here at City Hall, the council, mayor and Independent Budget Analyst are working hard to find the least painful, most effective solution we can to this challenge. Thank you for your support. — District 1 City Councilman and Council President Scott Peters contributes a monthly Council Corner column highlighting City Hall happenings pertinent to the communities of La Jolla and University City. ■

ty that is interested in legalizing polygamy and child brides (leave that to the offshoots of the Mormon Church). I think it is time for those that supported Prop 8 to stop gloating over their narrow victory at the polls, and open their eyes to the heartbreak and severe emotional harm they have caused. I ask only that they set aside their fears and preconceptions, and meet some real people. These might be their neighbors, their physicians, their policemen, or their firefighters. Because these are our fellow citizens we're talking about. Marty Bloom La Jolla

All this fear is misplaced Yes, actually, I do think Dave Thomas and his compatriots are the bigots I think they are. Why else would they want to take away something from another group that does not affect them in the slightest? That's right. Prop 8 would not affect anyone else. That ad about gay marriage being taught in public school is totally false. Every mother and father of a child in the La Jolla public school system knows that marriage isn't taught at all. Sex education is, and even that is optional. Children are not forced to attend gay weddings. All this fear regarding children is misplaced. It makes me wonder what these people are really afraid of. Polygamy? Marriage of children? I suggest that Mr. Thomas take another look at his Bible. He'll see plenty he would not like repeated in this day and age. Or perhaps his “traditional” marriage is more recent, when women were considered property and did not have opinions of their own. Let's see, maybe 100 years ago? As to his protestation about the majority not getting its way, the Constitution does protect minorities from majority rule when that majority is wrong. Our Founding Fathers wanted the minority protected from mob rule. The third branch of government is there for this exact purpose. And just as the people behind Prop 8 tried to reverse the last time the judges ruled against them, Mr. Thomas can and should go to the courts when he has a problem with the law as it stands. Or to the state legislature. No, Mr. Thomas, you have not seen the last of this issue. And I would hope, slim chance though it is, that you will be able to see the bigotry in your position and perhaps do something about it. Marcia Bookstein La Jolla

Junior Achievers take top honors Excitement was palpable on the faces of the young selectees being honored for their achievements by the San Diego Business Hall of Fame, having been chosen by Junior Achievement from 40,000 students throughout San Diego and Imperial counties. There to inspire them were three 2008 laureates who personify J.A. ideals: Peter Farrell, the man behind ResMed; Tina Nova, of Genoptix, which she co-founded; and Conrad Prebys, Progress Management, his successful residential construction business since 1965. There were three huge posterboards with photos of the three on display at the reception in the Crown Room but of them, only Dr. Farrell was not present. He did turn up later in videos shown in the dining room and finally in person, after being introduced by J.A. Student Ambassador Max LaMonte from Roosevelt Middle School, while Justice Payne did the honors for Dr. Tina and Stella Maris’s Abigail Balmert spoke for Conrad Prebys. Judging by his attire complementing his mentor’s (see photo), Justice has a bright future. He and the others are extraordinarily well spoken and sure to do well in the future.

Because of the declining economy, Mayor Sanders introduced one way of meeting a $43 million dollar gap in the budget by shuttering seven libraries temporarily, including South University City’s little library on Governor Drive. Besides that, he proposes closing ten recreation centers. “Temporary” could mean closing those seven libraries for five years unless revenue is found to reopen them. At the City Council meeting on Nov. 12, more than 50 people protested the closing of the libraries and the recreation centers as the worst thing you could do in an unprecedented economic crisis. According to Norman Oder in the online Library Journal, library circulation is up 8 percent in the last three months at the libraries. “Libraries face a larger percentage cut than other departments: $2 million or 5.4 percent of the $37 million dollar budget. The library will lose 37.8 positions, according to the mayor’s report,” Oder said. The library is the place to go during tough economic times to read a newspaper you can no longer afford to subscribe to, to learn how to use a computer, to visit with likeminded friends at story time for toddlers, to read a literary classic or current magazine. Although the libraries dodged the bullet this time, is there a guarantee that they won’t be back on the chopping block next month or next year? Maybe the mayor has surrounded himself with too many iPod-Blackberry-cell phone carrying bureaucrats who haven’t been in a library in decades, but they should go and so should the mayor, not for a photo op but the real thing. The mayor and his entire staff grew up in American cities and towns with libraries, I’m certain. They shouldn’t take that gift away from the children growing up in San Diego communities where seven libraries may be shuttered, one from each district with the exception of District 8. Who would want to buy a home in a neighborhood with a shuttered library? Summer Brooke, age 11, a sixth-grader, who spoke at a Salinas read-in a few years ago, questioned how Salinas, the birthplace of John Steinbeck, could close libraries in one breath and ask schools to raise reading test scores in the next. How could city leaders in San Diego possibly consider closing libraries and rec centers in this

LJCD tackles Mt. Empire but two QBs injured BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

The La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School football team won a firstround CIF game for the eighth straight year last weekend with a 38-6 victory over Mt. Empire. While the game was never in doubt, with LJCD leading 35-0 at halftime, the Torreys did suffer a loss when QB Derek Hatfield was lost for the evening with a separated shoulder. Things got worse when backup QB Rubin Pena went down with a lower leg injury in the third quarter. The Torreys finished the game with JV QB Grayson Tucker at the helm of the offense. At this time it is not known whether Hatfield or Pena, who also starts at receiver and outside linebacker, will be available for the quarterfinals scheduled for the day

The first-round victory earned the Torreys a rematch with Pacific League champion Army-Navy ... after Thanksgiving. Offensively, Hatfield hit 4-of-6 passes for 48 yards and ran for 47 yards and two TDs. Running back Montell Allen rushed for 77 yards and one TD on 10 carries, while Connor Gerhart led all Torrey receivers with four catches for 55

yards. Allen led the defense with six tackles, while linebacker Mike Bailey made five tackles and Indie Lavarias and Gerhart each recorded four stops. Defensive tackle Junior Togiaso made the most exciting play of the night when he picked up an Allen-forced fumble and raced 39 yards for a touchdown. Finally, kicker Zack Wolfenzon made all five of his PATs and hit a 39-yard field goal. The first-round victory earned the Torreys a rematch with Pacific League champion Army-Navy Academy on Friday, Nov. 28, 7 p.m., at El Camino High School. The winner of the Nov. 28 game will advance to the CIF semifinals. LJCD has not reached the semifiSEE LJCD, Page 19

La Jolla drops close match

BY ROB STONE | VILLAGE NEWS

The Bishop’s School football team will hit the road to take on the Horizon Panthers in the second round of the CIF playoffs after shutting out the Julian Eagles, 49-0, in first round action at La Jolla’s Gene Edwards Stadium last Friday, Nov. 21. “We’re going to practice hard this week, that’s for sure,” Knight freshman quarterback Joey Moreno (2-of-4, 60 yards, 2 TDs) said. “We’ll get in our conditioning and go full speed the whole time.” Against Julian, Bishop’s already appeared to be at top speed, while the Eagles seemed to be stuck in Bishop’s Christian Theuer (above) runs quicksand as senior running back for a long gain and also scored a TD.

La Jolla High polo ends season The La Jolla High boys water polo team saw its season come to an end last week with a 10-8 loss in the CIF semifinals against Coronado High. Hunter Gettelfinger had three goals to lead La Jolla, with Augie Arcidiacono and James Hixson (two each) and Joseph Laird also scoring. Coronado went on to lose to The Bishop’s School in the Division II championship.

UCSD, PLNU named top surf colleges The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) have made the cut in Transworld Surf magazine’s top 10 surfing colleges in the U.S. The rankings were based on several criteria, including academic standards, life experience, quality of surf, cost and even partying con-

siderations. According to Transworld Surf’s Web site, UCSD appears to be ranked No. 3, with PLNU ranked No. 5 in the country. More than 160 surfers belong to the UCSD Surf Club, which was founded more than 30 years ago. The club hosts surf-movie nights, concerts, beach cleanups and other social events. UCSD has also been ranked a top surfing school by Surfer magazine and Sports Illustrated. PLNU, with its picturesque setting atop Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma, also consistently ranks high in the standings in the National Scholastic Surfing Association’s southwest college division.

When all was said and done for local teams last Saturday afternoon at Canyon Crest Academy in the CIF girls volleyball finals, one local team captured gold while another put up a valiant effort in losing its match. First off, The Bishop’s School secured the CIF Division IV championship with a 25-18, 25-23, 2725 victory over Santa Fe Christian. Bishop’s (25-8) had lost to the Lady Eagles in last year’s title match and state regional encounter, but this time around the result proved different. The Lady Knights jumped out early in game one, holding a fairly commanding lead throughout. In games two and three, Bishop’s fell behind and battled back to nip the Lady Eagles at the end of each game. “Julie Gantz was exceptional from the service line; she had seven aces, and she led important runs at the end of games two and three,” Bishop’s head coach Tod Mattox noted. “Kristen Casey again led us with 11 kills, and Kendall Lord chipped in eight along with great blocking.” Mattox also noted the play of Carly Bollert with 13 digs, while Savannah Smith was a huge factor in the middle with five blocks. Bishop’s entered state play this past Tuesday evening in a firstround home match against Anaheim Connelly. The Lady Knights won, 25-13, 25-12 and 25-14,

Bishop’s got to last weekend’s CIF title game with a 25-23, 2523, 23-12 victory over Francis Parker in the semifinals. “Given that they beat us a week before, everyone was expecting another knock-down drag-out match,” Mattox commented. “In the first two games we were super tight, and we squeaked out 2-point wins in each of them, after overcoming a 17-12 deficit in game two. In game three, they struggled and we put it to them.” Casey and Thea Derrough were the Bishop’s kill leaders with 11 each, while Casey added 10 digs as well. Ina Kamenova was solid as well, tallying 31 assists and 7 digs, while Gantz was the team’s ace leader with four. While Bishop’s secured the Division IV crown, La Jolla High gave perennial power Cathedral Catholic a great battle for the Division III crown later in the day last Saturday. Making its 13th CIF finals appearance, Cathedral pulled away from Western League rival La Jolla for a 25-23, 25-22, 25-20 victory.

SD AIA again honors UCSD Student Center BY STEPHANIE A. ALDERETTE | VILLAGE NEWS

The second phase of the University of San Diego, California, 9500 Gillman Drive, recently completed one of the year’s most impressive local architectural projects, according to the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). “The Student Center has a very unique design and an eclectic and diverse student population,” said James Brown, principal architect of the project. “The Price Center is more official in a way, and so the architecture expresses a high degree of formality.” The AIA also honored the Price Center with a Citation Award for its warmth and authentic setting and the jury voted its award to the Public architecture and planning firm

for maintaining the existing character and feel of the new structures in the 1970s center. “The Student Center has counter-culture aspirations, and it wants to be not so slick,” Brown said. For more information, visit www.ucsd.edu. ■

La Jollans step up for holiday parade BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

Amid a lack of funding, La Jollans predicted dire results for the 51st annual Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival until locals chipped in to keep the tradition alive. “There’s a huge list of [financial] contributors for the parade,” La Jolla Town Council President Darcy Ashley said. “About 50 checks poured in.” A few weeks ago, Ashley said the council might not have funding to Images of Nature Gallery on Girard Avenue is in the running for the Holiday produce this year’s parade, but Storefront Decorating Contest.

made donations of $25 to more than $5,000 per check, she said. “It’s really heartwarming and people are terrifically generous,” Ashley said. “I think what happened is that people didn’t realize the funding sources weren’t there this year. Once they found out the need, they wanted to help.” Although the council received funding for this year’s parade, Ashley said she is still enlisting volunteers to help ensure its success. “We’re golden in fund-raising. Now we need volunteers for parade day to help with setting things up,” Ashley said. Parade leaders are also seeking

volunteers 72 hours ahead of time to post fliers on parked cars, ensuring a clear route. “Last year there were 35 cars that were towed and our goal is not to have any cars towed,” Ashley said. Town council members are looking for volunteers to help install barricades and traffic cones around the route, help with staging areas and assist with an ADA area, Ashley said. For more information, or to volunteer for the Dec. 7 parade, call the town coucil, 454-1444. For information about the parade, visit www.ljparade.com. ■

OCEANFRONT MISSION BEACH

A strong glass of ‘Milk’ plus DVD releases BY JAMES COLT HARRISON | VILLAGE NEWS

Harvey Milk was one in a million. He was the first openly gay man elected to the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco. He was, therefore, also the first gay man to be voted into major public office in the United States. He paved the way for politicians like Barney Frank to be elected in later years. Milk was a transplanted New Yorker to the Bay Area. The year was 1977, and Milk had a burning desire to champion equal rights for everyone — seniors, union workers, straights and gays. He worked for everybody. But his main interest was, of course, securing rights for all gay people during a time when almost everybody had to remain in the closet. He was a gay rights activist who worked tirelessly to gain equality for your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters and, yes, some mothers and fathers. He was a fighter for human rights for everybody. Gus Van Sant’s film depicts the last eight years of Milk’s life, the most active and most productive years. Van Sant cast straight actor Sean Penn in the role of the brash, charismatic, pushy, gentle, caring and selfish Milk. All these emotions are stirred up in Penn’s portrayal of the controversial politician. It’s a part that Penn can make the most of, and he does. He’s brilliant as a man who is the exact opposite of his own true nature. He shows Milk to be loving and caring with his two loves, played sweetly by James Franco and Mexican star Diego Luna, both completely different types. Luna is especially effective as a needy, sometimes intoxicated lover who is insecure with Milk’s prominence in the political field. One of Milk’s best friends and supporters was a fellow named Cleve Jones, played terrifically by young Emile Hirsch. In an interview in The Advocate magazine, Hirsch said, “I think this movie is first and foremost a movie about human rights, civil rights … the more specific context within that movie is gay rights. Harvey includes everybody. It’s not just gay rights he stands for; it’s minorities, disabled people and elderly people.” Milk successfully defeated singer Anita Bryant, who was anti-gay and wanted to exclude gays in just about every field. She soon learned that she needed gay people in her own work of show business. Nobody in the makeup

departments of the television networks would do her makeup or hair. She soon faded from TV screens and hasn’t been heard from since. And he battled the infamous Briggs Initiative, which wanted to exclude all gays from the teaching profession. If that happened, the kids would be teaching themselves. Milk was not liked by everyone for his brash ways and theatrical manner. One of those was fellow Supervisor Dan White. Actor Josh Brolin plays White as slightly loopy, deranged and frustrated at Milk’s success. He felt humiliated by not being able to get some of his pet projects passed without Milk’s support. Brolin has come into his own in the past two years, having turned in terrific acting jobs in “No Country for Old Men” and the recent “W.” He seems to capture White’s frustration and anger over not making progress in his job and ultimately resigning, never to return. With all that hate raging inside him, he assassinated both Milk and Mayor George Moscone. The film is not only for gay people to see. It is a civics lesson for everybody, a study of a man who

paved the way for human rights in the future by never giving up, never giving in and never taking no for an answer. The film should win a string of Oscar nominations. Focus Features. “Kung Fu Panda” DVD release is tied in with “Secrets of the Furious Five,” in a double pandamonium pack! Both star Jack Black as Po, a noodle-slurping dreamer. He wants to become the Dragon warrior and must embrace himself as he is — flaws and all. In “Furious Five,” Black’s Po character must face the dastardly Shifu, played with ferocity by Dustin Hoffman. Laughs and action galore! DreamWorks. For the young at heart, there’s teen favorite Jamie Bell in the new DVD “Mister Foe,” a thrilling obsession film shot in scenic Glasgow. Jamie is a troubled young man who has dark fears and peculiar desires. In an unusual twist, he searches for the true cause of his mother’s untimely death. He roams the city and searches the rooftops for love. Sophia Myles, Ciarin Hinds, and Claire Forlani lend support. Glasgow Film Finance/ Magnolia Pictures. ■

Additional honorees for the evening included Nicki Starr of Civil Disobedience Boutique, Mani M. Nagasubramanian of RD&M (Retail Design & Merchandising), Bangalore, India, and Rick Coburn of Factory Vintage. Sandra Maas of KUSI Channel 9 news was mistress of ceremonies for the night and began by introducing the Make-A-Wish segment, which is always an audience favorite. FCC students design creations for celebrities and Make-AWish children. They came down the runway tugging on everyone’s heartstrings. The theme for the evening was “Lights, Camera and Fashion!” Three screens were set up and 60second clips from movies played before each segment in the fashion show. The music from each movie

played as the models came down the catwalk. The line-up showcased the designs of FCC students. The audience went wild as barechested men came down the catwalk. Each of these good-looking guys had a collar around his neck and was being led by a stylish model in animal prints. This was a huge crowd-pleaser and definitely one of the highlights of the evening. The show finale was the inspirational designs of paintings from the collection at the Timken Museum of Art. These clever vignettes from different movies were coordinated by Tanya McAnear and produced by Jim Crawford. Proceeds from the evening go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. For more information, visit www.wishsandiego.org. The evening also gives proceeds to Variety Children’s Lifeline Charity, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children around the world.

Strange, how we are interested in our past — children delight in stories of their babyhoods, and we grownups want to know our genealogy. Forms exist to make a family tree going as far back as anyone still alive remembers (the old aunt, mother’s longtime friend). People relish in famous ancestors and are proud to bear the name of some general in the Civil War or to be related to a nobleman in France. An ancestor who came to America on the Mayflower is revered, and stories abound of grandparents who arrived in steerage young and penniless and made a fortune, or at least a good enough living to send their children to college. Not only are we fascinated with our past and where we came from, we close the loop by wanting to leave a legacy. For some it is having written a book, for others having been part of a construction crew of a special building, created a sculpture or painting, invented something, raised good children, made a difference in someone’s life — in other words, having left a mark, something of oneself on this earth that immortalizes the fact that one has passed through. For many, there is a wish to leave something to the grandchildren — a memento of something that had some meaning, some significance, and can be passed on. People are encouraged to write their stories or even just write a letter to a grandchild about their accomplishments, memories, hopes for the future, advice or even warnings. Something — anything — that links us to a
