Two days after an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet crashed into a University City neighborhood, the County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed four fatalities — those of two adults and two infants — found inside one of the five homes destroyed or damaged in the accident. The pilot, a first lieutenant with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101 from United States
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar, was flying Monday, Dec. 8 from the USS Abraham Lincoln off San Diego’s coast toward MCAS when one engine failed, said MCAS Commanding Officer Col. Chris O’Connor. At about 11:58 a.m., the jet reportedly lost its second engine, causing the plane to crash into two homes in the 4400 block of Cather Avenue in University City, two miles short of the air base. The pilot safely ejected from the plane and was

found in a nearby canyon. “The pilot was nearing the end of his training,” said USMC Miramar public affairs spokesperson Cpl. Jessica Aranda. Officials drove the pilot, identified as Dan Neubauer, to Balboa Naval Hospital. Marine Corps officials said he is expected to make a full recovery.

Four new City Council members sworn into office Monday, Dec. 8, have landed in the middle of back-andforth budget battle between the council and the mayor’s office as they try to close an estimated $43 million midyear shortfall. The Council put off decisions to name new council president and assign committee members until later in the week in light of the tragic jet plane crash in University City Monday morning. Last month’s City Council made decision keep fire stations fully operating as well as keep libraries, recreation centers until June 2009 despite calls for deep cuts by the mayor. The decisions remain intact after City Council members unanimously overrode a mayoral budget veto during a Friday, Dec. 5, council meeting. “[City council] is solving the problem for a few months but it’s putting us in deeper hole for the next fiscal year,” said mayoral spokesperson Rachel Laing. The mayor recently vetoed the City Council’s decisions to keep city community service centers open and restore three painter positions, which would have violated procedures laid out in the city charter, Laing said. The community centers in Point Loma, Clairmont and in Scripps Ranch will stay open until the end of January. Painters positions will be rein-
stated at the end of January as well, she said. The community service centers act as city information centers and provide general city services such as accepting bill payments. City council closed some of the gap by agreeing to a majority of the mayor’s proposed midyear budget cuts, District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer said. Council was able to keep the fire department fully operating, libraries and recreation centers open by dipping into infrastructure funds, library system improvement funds and hotel-room rental tax revenue. However, that still adds to an estimated $54 million budget gap moving into fiscal year 2010, Laing said. City staff starts the next budget process early next year, she said. Faulconer said council committees should start analyzing the city’s budget in January. Public safety, police and fire departments are a priority, he said. He said he’s met with residents regarding potential library closures and said he would consider volunteers to augment city library staff. “We’ve had a lot of creative ideas...specifically in Ocean Beach,” Faulconer said. Before vetoing the council’s budget decisions, the mayor’s office awaited a legal opinion from the city attorney’s office to determine the legality of the council’s decision but heard nothing, according to Laing.

LJTC names parade, shop decoration winners BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) members have announced the winners of the first store decorating contest, and judges chose their favorite floats from “History on Parade,” the 51st annual La Jolla Parade. Stella Maris Academy won the parade trophy, said La Jolla Town Council President Darcy Ashley. “We’ll get a plaque on the trophy that says ‘Stella Maris, 2008,’” Ashley said. The Catholic school, associated with Mary Star of the Sea, toured La Jolla’s parade route atop a float with a Christmas tree adorned with cutout ornaments, which were actually the children’s faces, Ashley said. “Everybody did a good job. But the float that rises above all the others won overall float,” Ashley said. Stella Maris will keep the La Jolla Christmas Parade trophy throughout the year, a tradition for more than 20 years,
according to Ashley. Other organizations won in seven additional categories. Judges chose All Hallows for Most Holiday Spirit; Bird Rock Community Council won Most Original; Wind & Sea Surf Club won Most Community Spirit; La Jolla Shores Association won Most Colorful; Erling Rode Plumbing won Most Creative; La Jolla Village News won Judge’s Favorite; and Kiwanis of La Jolla won Santa’s Favorite. “We are producing a DVD of the parade, which will be available in January,” Ashley said. This year, LJTC members embarked on a new adventure for La Jolla, inviting all merchants to participate in a storefront decorating contest. Residents voted for their favorite shop in one of five categories – traditional, modern, outrageous, beachy or 1800s motif. SEE PARADE, Page 3

Although many stores went all-out, Ashley said LJTC plans on altering the contest next year. “The first time you do a contest, you learn a lot,” Ashley said. “Next year I think the key thing will be that we will start the contest the day after Thanksgiving and run it through until the week before Christmas.” Ashley said she plans on announcing the results of contest winners around Dec. 18 next year, allowing merchants more time to decorate. The decorating contest will not be part of the Christmas parade, she said. It will be a separate activity.
La Jollans chose winners from La Jolla’s first store decorating contest, voting for their favorites in myriad categories either online or casting votes onto a paper ballot throughout the village. Although LJTC did not create an overall category this year, Ashley said, Sigi’s won the most votes. Sigi’s, located at 7888 Girard Ave., won for most outrageous. Voters saw a window filled with a gumball dress. Africa & Beyond, 1250 Prospect St., was also voted most outrageous. Locals voted Brooks Brothers, 1055 Wall St., and Little Baby Bird Rock, 5663 La Jolla Blvd., most traditional. Residents voted My Own Space, 7840 Girard Ave., and Gallery 8, 7464 Girard Ave., most mod-

ern. La Jolla voted Needle Nook of La Jolla, 7719 Fay Ave., and Tommy Bahama, 1100 Wall St., most beachy. Bower’s Jewelers, 7860 Girard Ave., and Let’s Go, 7863 Girard Ave., received the most votes for 1800s motif category. Ashley said LJTC is moving toward its goal of eventually not having to tow any cars for the parade route. Last year, 35 cars were towed; this year, only 11 cars were towed, she said. “If you’re one of the people who owns one of those 11 cars, you’re not going to be happy, but we’re obviously on top of it,” Ashley said.

Ralph Lewin, 87, renowned for work as marine biology pioneer at Scripps Ralph Arnold Lewin, highly distinguished scientist, author and professor emeritus, died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, Nov. 30 in La Jolla after battling esophageal cancer for a year. He was 87. Lewin built a sterling reputation in national and international circles with deeply impacting research in the realm of marine biology. As a professor, he spent nearly 48 years at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD. Lewin and his wife, Scripps biologist Lanna Cheng, were familiar fixtures around the Scripps campus and La Jolla community for decades. “Dr. Lewin had a remarkable wit an enjoyed instructing us all on the peculiarities of English. He was one of the most well-traveled, scholarly people I have known,” said Scripps Marine Biology Prof. Victor D. Vacquier, a longtime colleague of Lewin’s. Born in London on April 30, 1921, Lewin had an impressive academic career, earning a B.A. and M.A. in botany at Cambridge University. He later came to the United States to continue his search for knowledge and was awarded a Ph.D. in botany from Yale University. He later returned to Cambridge, where he was awarded a doctor of science degree in 1972. Lewin began his groundbreaking career at Scripps as associate professor of marine biology in 1960 and retired as a full professor over 30 years later. His first investigations at Scripps were on marine microbes, known as flexibacteria, whose distinguishing characteristic is their method of gliding over surfaces. A genus of flexibacteria, Lewinella, was named in his honor. His early research also included exploring the genetics of single-cell green algae, specifically their mechanism of sexual reproduction. He developed simple methods to select for mutant cells, thus making possible genetic studies of the organisms, giving him the title of “the father of green algae genetics.” In the 1980s, he was recognized as being the
first person to understand and publicize the evolutionary significance of a primitive group of marine algae known as the Prochloron, a likely ancestor of green plant chloroplasts. Lewin was considered the world expert on these unique marine organisms. His expertise became so well known that the San Diego Zoo called on his expertise. He was faced with the question, “Why are our polar bears turning green?” His examination pointed to single-celled blue-green algae, which he showed were living in the hollow hairs of the polar bears fur. His simple solution of a bath with a low concentration of bleach turned the green bears white again. Amid his groundbreaking research and overall quest for knowledge, Lewin and his wife Lenna Cheng made building an international reputation a priority. They were well-known visitors to marine research laboratories throughout the world. Lewin quickly became known as an engaging, humorous lecturer in the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and China. Over the course of his career, Lewin published more than 250 scientific papers. He authored “Merde, Excursions in Scientific, Cultural and Socio-Historical Coprology.” He also received editing credits for his work on “Physiology and Biochemistry of Algae,” “Origins of Plastids” and “Prochloron: a Microbial Enigma,” which he collaborated with Cheng on. Lewin had a multi-faceted personality, and when taking a break from the world of science and academic research, he developed his skill at writing poetry. His works in that genre are titled “Poems about Animals and Plants” and “The Biology of Algae and Diverse Other Verses.” Per Lewin’s wishes, a memorial service will not be held. In lieu of flowers, gifts in his honor will be directed to support Scripps graduate student fellowships. For more information, contact Edwina Riblet, Scripps Development, at (858) 534-7793.
Frederick William Kubli, 74, served in aerospace, property management Frederick William Kubli, 74 of San Diego, died peacefully at home Wednesday, Dec. 3, surrounded by love. During his five-year bout with colon cancer, he never lost his zest for living, laughing and hugging. The youngest of four, he was born in Chicago, Ill. April 1, 1934 to Fredrick and Rose Kubli. At the age of 5, his parents and siblings Julia Shipman, Alice (Cecil) Herron and Walter (Gloria) Kubli moved to Portland, Ore. Upon graduation from Benson High School in 1951, Fred enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served as a radar man on the LST-1073 during the Korean conflict. Upon being honorably discharged in 1953, Fred Kubli Fred married Dixie Stolt (deceased). They raised three children, Rosemary (Douglas) Gray, Karl (Esther) Kubli and Marlene (Kelly) Pierce in Portland and San Diego. To prepare for his new career in the aerospace industry, Fred attended DeVry Technical Institute, LaSalle University and numerous special training programs. One of the highlights of his career was working at Cape Canaveral to launch the first ICBM and the Apollo space program. His government contracts took him to such diverse places as Puerto Rico, the Marshall Islands, Johnston Atoll and Hawaii. During this time, he honed his skills as a scuba diver, underwater photographer and prodigious fisherman. He returned to San Diego in 1972, where he was
employed at UNISYS until his retirement in 1986. In 1990, Fred married June Seipel Belker and began a career in property management while pursuing his lifelong passion for fishing and travel. He retired a second time in 2004 at the age of 70. He found ways to serve others as a member and deacon at Torrey Pines Christian Church and a volunteer in the United States Coast Guard auxiliary. He is survived by his wife June; daughters Rosemary (Douglas) Gray, of Kirkland, Wash., and Marlene (Kelly) Pierce of Maui, Hawaii; son Karl (Esther) Kubli, of Peoria, Ariz.; siblings Julia, Walter and Gloria of Portland, Ore. and Alice and Cecil of Orlando, Fla.; stepson Eric (Ginger) Belker of Frenchtown, Mont., eight grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held on Dec. 16 at 1 p.m. at Torrey Pines Christian Church, 8320 La Jolla Scenic Drive North, La Jolla, followed by a reception at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, 2000 Spindrift Drive, La Jolla.

CRASH CONTINUED FROM Page 1
destroyed homes – the Yoon residence at 4416 Cather Ave. and an unoccupied house next door — immediately caught fire from the crash. Rescuers from the Fire-Rescue Department and MCAS Miramar discovered three victims after sifting through debris and rubble Monday evening. With the help of search dogs, the fourth victim was found the next day. The victims were identified as Young Mi Yoon, 36; Yoon’s mother, Suk Im Kim, 60; 15-month-old Grace Yoon; and 2-month-old Rachel Yoon. Don Yoon, Young’s husband and the father of the two girls, was not at home at the time of the crash. “I really believe that my wife and two daughters are in heaven,” Yoon, 39, said the day after the crash, adding that his prayers go out to the pilot. O’Connor said reaching out to the community and sharing as much information as possible was
his priority. He attended Tuesday’s University Community Planning Group meeting in an effort to inform residents of the military’s efforts and to allay the public’s fears, he said. “We are conducting a thorough investigation. We are going to take our time,” he said. O’Connor said the military’s team of first responders was on the scene immediately and will continue to work with the city. Military officials will continue to remove wreckage from the area, he said. “We take our responsibility very seriously,” he said. O’Connor said the military stresses the safety record of its aircraft. “As a pilot, safe operation of aircraft is our number one concern,” O’Connor said. “[The F/A-18 is] a dependable aircraft. It flies a lot, every day. It’s a proven performer. They’re our workhorses.” According to Luque, damages from the crash totaled in excess of $1 million. He added that the crash damaged another three homes,

three vehicles and one truck. But UC residents will not remember the monetary losses. “I saw them every day,” said neighbor Michael Rose, adding that he was traveling to Texas when his wife phoned him, informing him a plane crashed next to their home. “She said it was a big, loud boom,” Rose said. “How short life can be. It’s such a tragedy.” Though Rose said he wasn’t present at the actual crash, his proximity to the Yoons’ house and the site began to sink in. “We were riding bicycles less than 50 feet away the night before,” Rose said. “My girls were in school [at the time of the crash]. Thank God.” Newly elected San Diego City Councilmember Sherri Lightner said she will hold a community forum today, Dec. 11, at 6 p.m., at UC High School auditorium, 6949 Genesee Ave. The Marine Corps is asking anyone who finds suspected debris from the wreckage not to touch it and to call (858) 577-1727.

UCSD surf school among best BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Students come to the University of California, San Diego for a number of reasons. As many students know, San Diego is one of the world’s great venues for surfing. Surfing magazine Transworld Surf recently ranked UCSD as the third best surfing college in the nation based on academics, surf quality, life experience, cost and partying. The magazine praised the La Jolla school for its diverse student population and high academic standards while also noting its convenience to the beach. UCSD’s Surf Club, founded more than three decades ago, is popular on campus, with a membership of more than 160 surfers. The club continues to host surf movie nights, concerts, beach clean-ups and other social events. UC San Diego’s recreation department offers surf classes to students throughout the year, and the university has a nationally ranked surf team that has made it into the National Scholastic Surfing Association’s (NSSA) national competition every year for more than three decades, capturing six national titles. UCSD Prof. David Sandwell said it is clear that California has the top three surfing schools in the nation. “If the University of Hawaii (UH) was closer to the North Shore, it would be number one,” Sandwell said. “I have one daughter surfing at UH and another at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara) on the surf team, so I can’t bash these schools too much. “Santa Cruz (UCSC) may have larger waves, but you cannot walk to the beach from campus. The cold water will give you ice cream headaches, and the weather is not as consistently as good as San Diego. UCSB is close to the beach, but the north and south swells are blocked by land and islands, respectively, and there is oil in the water. The average UCSD student who likes to enjoy surfing can rely on a clean, fun swell at Blacks Beach almost every day of the academic year, and thrill-seekers will get their pounding from powerful Blacks waves four to five times each winter.” As Sandwell sees it, the correct ranking is UCSD, UCSC, and UCSB. Sandwell not only enjoys the
time spent in the waves but also teaches his students in the classroom about the sport. The Physics of Surfing is a one-credit, pass-fail class designed to introduce freshmen to oceanographic research at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). According to Sandwell, class size is limited to 20 students so freshmen will be able to interact in a small class during their first year at UCSD. “I think of this as the basket weaving class for physics and engineer nerds,” Sandwell continued. “In addition to reviewing some simple physics, students are introduced to some top oceanographic researchers at SIO.” The objective of the class is to address questions such as how waves are generated and where they come from; why ocean waves arrive at the beach in sets; why the waves at Blacks Beach are twice as tall as the waves at the Scripps Pier; how a surfer extracts energy from a wave; and the elements that control the maximum speed of a surfer. Sandwell noted that students over the years have developed equipment to measure the accelerations and velocity of a surfer. They perform the experiments in the surf north of the SIO pier, and they report on their results during the final oral “exam,” which includes eating pizza. Alex Israel, UCSD senior and president of the Surf Club, said UCSD’s third-place ranking is great but that it only takes into consideration the “surf” in “surf schools.” “I feel that considering academics as well as surfing gives a more much realistic ranking of the top surf schools,” Israel remarked. “This was done in Surfer magazine’s April ’08 edition, when they named UCSD the ‘#1 place to score waves and an education.’” Israel said that his older friends at UCSD mentioned the Surf Club even before he stepped foot on the UCSD campus, so he knew he would find it and be a part of it. Israel also noted that UCSD has embraced the surf scene locally, with an on-campus surf shop, surf lessons offered through recreation and a strong surf club and surf team. “Surfing is easily accessible for all UCSD students of any surf experience, and with great surf
conditions year-round, it would be a shame for anyone to come to school here and not give surfing a shot,” Israel added. Fellow student Chelsea Rauhut, a freshman and surf team member, said she came to UCSD for surfing in particular, so she already knew she wanted to be on the team. “In high school I was a competitive surfer, and I wanted to keep doing that in college,” Rauhut commented. As Rauhut sees it, San Diego is a great surfing venue because the area offers so many breaks. “There are variety of waves down here, and Blacks (Beach) is right across from campus, which is where we have practice,” she added. If you are on campus or thinking of attending UCSD and are interested in surfing, the school’s team has tryouts every year. “The team is super-friendly, and everyone has fun at practice,” Rauhut noted. “Anyone is welcome to come out and join the team for practice.” Sandwell said San Diego has the perfect weather for surfing, with low wind and consistent swells from Antarctic (summer) and Arctic (winter) storms. “We are on the southern edge of the winter storm track, so while Northern California is getting wind and rain and blown-out surf, we get the smooth swell, sunny skies and ideal surfing conditions,” Sandwell said. “Citizens of San Diego are also concerned with having clean beaches, clean water and adequate lifeguard protection. What a great idea to separate surfers from swimmers.” Sandwell also noted that another great California asset is the completely open access to beaches that many take for granted. “Beaches in other countries and even the New England states of the U.S. are highly restricted,” Sandwell added. “In New England, owners of beach homes enjoy the nicest private beaches, while the others are relegated to the crowded and dirty state beaches. So in San Diego, residents and visitors can all enjoy the entire coastline, and the beach crowd is dispersed.” So next time you are out surfing the local waves, you may just be next to someone who knows a little something about the University of California, San Diego.
‘Bonnie and Clyde’ are arrested following spring robbery spree BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS
Brittney Merritt was working alone at the front counter of the Cold Stone Creamery on Mission Boulevard on what seemed like just another Friday night in Pacific Beach back in April. A man wearing a gray sweatshirt and baggy jeans walked in and ordered an ice cream cone, but something wasn’t right. As she handed him the dessert, he paused. He looked, she said, as if she had done something wrong. What he did next would send her practically cowering in fear for weeks every time someone entered the store wearing a gray sweatshirt and jeans, she said. The man, 32-year-old James Graham, turned his back to the window so no one outside the
store could see him lift his sweatshirt and point at what looked like a semi-automatic handgun tucked in his waistband. The sight of the pistol startled her so much that she couldn’t open the cash register. She was able to collect herself enough to open the safe. When Graham finally did get his hands on a bag of money, he called for the store’s manager and oddly asked, “How much do I owe you?” “Then he realized how stupid of a question it was,” Merritt, 19, said. “He was just so random.” Security cameras outside Thruster’s Lounge on Mission Boulevard caught the man on fleeing from the ice cream shop. The robbery was one of more than 20 robberies Graham and his 22-year old girlfriend, Chris-
tine Durden, both native San Diegans, committed from March through May 2008. The modern-day Bonnie and Clyde duo robbed flower shops in La Jolla, sandwich places in Clairemont and a Circle K market on Morena Boulevard. They robbed gas stations, sometimes two in a day. The couple would even switch roles with one doing the robbing and the other waiting in a gray Toyota Corolla getaway car, police said. Together they stole several thousand dollars during the spree. They used the money to buy drugs and pay for hotel rooms along the Interstate 8 corridor, according to police. The couple’s pattern eluded detectives who, at least initially, SEE CRIME, Page 7

Council committee OKs plastic grocery bag ban BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
A ban on the use of plastic bags by grocery stores, pharmacies and other retailers may be one of the hot issues to come before the new San Diego City Council in 2009 following a 2-1 vote by a council committee on Wednesday, Dec. 3. Several dozen people spoke before the Natural Resources & Culture Committee on the topic with only a few opposed to a ban on plastic bags. Councilmembers Donna Frye and Scott Peters voted to send the proposed ban to the new City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, who was sworn into office Monday, Dec. 8, for legal analysis before it goes to the City Council within 90 days. Councilman Kevin Faulconer voted against the motion, saying he wanted Goldsmith to look at the proposal and perhaps send it back to the committee. He said he did not support forwarding it to the City Council even though the motion made no committee

thought they were dealing with two disconnected series of robberies. Good detective work and luck helped detectives Robert Anschick and James Boyd piece together the crimes. It turns out Graham was on parole for previous crime and a parole officer recognized him from a picture distributed between law enforcement agencies. Once Graham had been identified, police records revealed his partner’s identity. “We just happened to look through his jail bookings and it listed his girlfriend,” Anschick said. Once police knew that they
BUDGET CONTINUED FROM Page 1
The mayor had 10 days starting Nov. 24 to issue a veto, she said. In addition to a massive pension debt contributing to the city’s financial mess, the city faces massive budget cuts in part because of a receding national economy, which has resulted in less tax revenue coming into city coffers, Laing said. City departments have been asked to shave another 10 to 15 percent from their collective budgets and present potential cost savings to the city’s administration next year, Laing said.
recommendation about the proposed ban. “I don’t support this ordinance. It’s appropriate for the new City Attorney to have a look at this, to explore options,” Faulconer said, who said he felt “increased recycling is the way to go.” “I think more analysis needs to be done,” he said. “I think it could be harmful to consumers, not good for business. We need more focus on recycling.” A representative from Mayor Jerry Sanders’ office told the committee the mayor opposes a ban because cities which have passed a ban on plastic bags have been sued. The mayor also opposes the ban because small businesses would be adversely affected. A proposed ordinance was already prepared for the committee by outgoing City Attorney Mike Aguirre, but it will go back to the city attorney’s office as part of the motion. The use of paper bags and reusable cloth bags that consumers would bring into the store
were suggested as alternatives to plastic, which do not biodegrade easily. Several people from San Diego Coastkeeper told the council the harm that plastic bags pose to sea life, birds, and animals. “I’ve pulled plastic bags out of the water when I’m surfing,” said Bill Hickman, of Ocean Beach, who added that most of the bags don’t float, but sink to the bottom. “They’re all over the place,” said Jim Pugh, from the San Diego Audubon Society. He said plastic bags smother plants at the bottom of creeks and streams. “Please move ahead with a ban and keep them out of our wetlands,” he added. Scott Harrison, the chairman of the Surfrider Foundation, told the panel the ban is like “a train leaving the station — it’s time to get on board.” Among the few opposed to the ban were representatives from the California Grocers Association and the American Chemistry Council.
were dealing with a team that liked to frequent hotels, they canvassed hotels Clairemont and along Interstate 8. It was only a matter of time before a clerk at Motel 6 in La Mesa reported the couple checking in. Police arrested the couple at the hotel. A search of the room turned up drug paraphernalia but no drugs, Anschick said. Both pled guilty to the as many as 23 armed robberies. After the couple’s arrest, police discovered that the pistol used in the rob-
beries was a pellet gun and not a semi-automatic pistol. The fact that it was an air pistol and not a real gun does not lessen the charges, police said. Graham was sentenced to 10 years in prison while Durden currently is being held at Las Colinas Detention facility without bail pending sentencing. “I have seen boyfriend and girlfriend capering together in the past, but this is the biggest. I [never] seen a long-term spree like this one.” Anschick said.
Jennifer Forkish, who represents the American Chemistry Council, said the use of paper bags are “three to five times more expensive, which means higher operating costs for stores and higher prices for their cus-
tomers.” Frye held up a dingy white cloth bag she said she uses for shopping and added, “It needs a bath.” She also urged everyone to ask for paper instead of plastic when at the checkout line.

GUEST EDITORIAL
At Christmas, green is the new white From San Diego Gas & Electric Co. When finalizing your holiday gift list, don't forget to add Mother Nature. By making some easy adjustments to your normal holiday routine and searching for energy-efficient gifts, you can do your part to help conserve precious natural resources year-round and put a little "green" back in your pocket. "If you're one of the many consumers taking advantage of the deep discounts available on many electronics and appliances this holiday season, keep in mind the long-term costs of powering your purchases," said Hal Snyder, vice president of customer programs for San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). “Take televisions, for example. The annual energy costs for a 53- to 62-inch rear-projection TV are approximately $65, while the equivalent plasma television will cost about $143." It's no surprise that the larger the set, the more energy it uses. No matter what kind of TV or appliance you buy this holiday, a good rule of thumb is to make sure it has an energy-star logo. Products that have earned the energy-star designation help prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government and help save you money each month.
Everyone can go green : • Buy LED holiday lights, which can save 90 percent or more in lighting costs when compared with traditional incandescent holiday lights. They pay for themselves almost immediately. Another bonus: decreased potential fire hazard. • Buy a solar charger for your cell phone, iPod and other gadgets. • Light up someone's holiday by giving a compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulb -- they cost onefourth as much to operate and last up to 10 times longer. Look for CFLs with the SDG&E "Promotional Price" sticker at your favorite retailer. • If you receive a new cell phone, be sure to recycle your old one. Each year, 130 million cell phones are thrown out, weighing approximately 65,000 tons. Also, make sure to take computers, TV sets and other electronics to authorized e-cycling locations. • Buy wrapping paper and holiday cards made from recycled paper, or, even better, get creative and make your own; old maps, the comics section of a newspaper or children's artwork are festive and meaningful. If every family wrapped just three gifts this way, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. • Make it a holiday tradition to plant a tree each year to offset your paper consumption. For more energy-saving tips to use throughout the year, please visit www.sdge.com/residential or call (800) 411-7343.
GUEST COMMENTARY
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
State updates eco-friendly gift guide The California Department of Conservation has launched an updated version of its online guide to help consumers find eco-friendly gifts and decorating tips. The department created the Green Gift Guide (available exclusively at greengiftguide.com) to promote one of the simplest ways to incorporate sustainability into consumer lifestyles — bottle and can recycling — and also to provide information and ideas on environmentally preferable products for the home, office, children, pets and the outdoors. Many of the products are made from recycled bottles, cans and other materials; they otherwise incorporate sustainable practices into manu-
facturing, thereby saving energy and natural resources. Californians recycled 7.6 billion beverage containers during the first six months of 2008, 76 percent of the 10 billion sold in the state. That’s a 5 percent increase over the figure of 2007. By recycling billions of aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles during that time, Californians decreased greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to eliminating the energy consumption of 11,000 households for one year.
La Jolla Parade made the world go away Our city, our state, our nation and the world — all pretty frightening places right now. The gnawing unease of anxiety tags relentlessly beside us. But last Sunday, the La Jolla Christmas Parade rolled down Girard for the 51st year. And for 90 minutes, everything seemed ... just fine.

Hermes is here! When Hermes opened its New York-based flagship store 80 years ago, the timing was all wrong. It opened in the middle of the Great Depression, and the owners nearly went broke. Undeterred by that failure, the firm went on to set trends not only in key cities such as Beverly Hills, Dallas and Washington, D.C. but also in worldwide in places such as Tokyo — and it has continued to grow and prosper. Now, it’s arrived in San Diego’s Fashion Valley Mall – but it chose to hold the official opening at La Jolla’s iconic Museum of Contemporary Art by turning the employee parking lot (also the site of Monte Carlo) into an Indian-themed tented fantasy. Champagne flowed, and the food, fit for a sultan, was prepared by Guiseppe’s Catering, located just steps away. There was no fashion show unless you consider the countless guests who turned up attired in Hermes scarves, ties, belts, bags, watches and jewelry and trailing delicious wafts of Caleche. In exchange for this luxurious parking-lot venue, a percentage of the profits on the following day, when the store was to open its doors in Fashion Valley, was to be donated to MCA. On the gala evening, however, a leather-covered notebook with the Hermes name was given to departing guests.

Throwing a green party is easier than you think When the topic of going green is discussed, the focus is typically on ways to be more fuel- and energy-efficient. While those are certainly two effective ways to help the environment, there are a host of other ways to go green as well. Fortunately, going green is often very easy and simply requires a few minor changes to produce major benefits. One way to go green, especially in the heart of the summer party season, is to make your parties a green affair. Doing so won't make your parties any less fun but will make them a lot more environmentally friendly. * Ditch disposable tableware. Particularly in the summer months, when gatherings are often outdoors, disposable utensils, plates and cups are the norm. However, such products are often very wasteful. In lieu of paper
plates, use inexpensive plastic, reusable plates. The same can be done with the utensils, as throwaway plastic utensils can be replaced with inexpensive and reusable metal utensils. No one expects you to use the fine china outdoors, but reusable and inexpensive tableware is an easy and effective way to be more environmentally conscious. * Use cloth hand towels instead of items such as napkins and paper towels. Napkins and paper towels are very wasteful, especially when other items such as cloth towels and napkins are just as effective, and reusable, too. * Consider a new menu. In-season foods and organic fruits and vegetables are better for the environment and better for your health as well. Instead of standard fare, serve as much of these foods as possible.
Also, if you have more guests than you do reusable dishes, consider serving finger foods that don't require the use of disposable paper plates. Cookies, cupcakes and cheese and crackers are all acceptable fare for a party and will lessen your reliance on disposable serving dishes and utensils. * Send out electronic invitations instead of invites. E-mailed invites are not only more environmentally friendly, they're also a party planner's best friend. Instead of using all that paper for invitations, save the cost of paper and stamps and make your invitations online. Web sites such as www.evite.com offer free invitations that can be e-mailed en masse, saving you the hassle of getting everyone's mailing address and all the necessary envelopes and stamps while helping the environment in the meantime.
Finger foods like shrimp cocktail are party favorites that are also green-friendly, as they don’t require the use of disposable paper plates.

Alexander’s 'See a shoe and Pick it up and all day long you'll have Good Luck,' said Andy Warhol half a century ago. I would have never associated Andy Warhol with shoes but the real fact is that before he became a pop art phenom, Warhol was a shoe illustrator living on Lexington Avenue. Bond No. 9 created a series of fragrances to celebrate the artist's 80th birthday. Andy Warhol Lexington Avenue is nostalgic scent that channels the sensuality of shoes and the artist's pre-Pop years of the 1950s.

Flamenco with that ‘Carol’? BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Aside from “Scrooge in Rouge,” Diversionary Theatre’s drag spoof, the complicated nature of existence this holiday season allows time for a review of only one production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” The “Carol” of choice is that from Cygnet Theatre, adapted and directed by artistic director Sean Murray for the opening of his company’s newly named and refurbished Old Town Stage, where the show plays through Sunday, Dec. 28. Acquainted with the challenge of parking on a Saturday night in Old Town, the critic arrived around 6 p.m. for an 8 p.m. curtain. The evening of Dec. 6 was balmy and clear, and she was seated outside at Mrs. Trimmers, a newish restaurant in what was once called Squibob Square, quite near the Old Town Stage. My table afforded a view through the trees to the brightly lit vendors’ stalls across the pedestrian mall. It was a good place from which to listen to the fine classical guitar work of player and guitar-maker Erez Perelman, who recently received his Ph.D. in computer science from UCSD. What a boon: Flamenco, “Carol” and one of the most beautiful evenings in recent memory. Prior to curtain, Cygnet Executive Director Bill Schmidt announced that the fundraising for theater renovation had just topped $1.33 million, so the future seems assured, even in these troubled
times. What’s needed now is funding for daily operations, which can be realized in part by readers’ attendance. There is a public open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13. But the play’s the thing, and despite the facts that Scrooge (Jim Chovick) was challenged vocally and some prankish ghost blew a Christmas day fuse, there is much to admire about Cygnet’s production. First and foremost are the technical elements: Sean Fanning’s amazing scenic design; George Ye’s sound design and original music adaptation; Tom Christ’s animation design; Shirley Pierson’s delightful period costumes; Bonnie Johnston’s choreography; and Matthew Novotny’s lighting design. Many moments and design elements are redolent of Murray’s beloved staging of this work at San Diego Repertory Theatre. As for all else, it will fall into place as the opening-night jitters subside and the new wears off this gorgeously restored facility. The ladies are marvelous, with Amanda Cooley-Davis as the Cratchit daughter; Annie Hinton as Scrooge’s housekeeper; Amanda Morrow as Scrooge’s youthful fiancée, Belle; and lovely Emmelynn Thayer as Bob Cratchit’s wife. Murray has a special knack for directing children, among them Daniel and Ian O’Meara, who alternate as Boy Cratchit and Turkey Boy; Celia Tedde as young Fan and Belinda Cratchit; and foremost,
Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Chovick, foreground) is his cantankerous old self in Cygnet Theatre Company’s “A Christmas Carol,” playing through Dec. 28 at the newly renovated Old Town Stage. The children are especially well-directed by Cygnet artisCOURTESY PHOTO tic director Sean Murray, who also adapted the script.
Max Oilman [sic]-Williams as Tiny Tim. Oilman has a lovely voice, which he employs extremely well in the Cratchit family’s singing of “In the Bleak Midwinter.” Craig Huisenga is particularly touching as Bob Cratchit, and Paul Kruse is effective as Fezziwig and particularly marvelous as the ghoulish Old Joe. It is hoped that Jaysen Waller will find some stillness in his portrayal of Fred and that Chovick will rest his severely frayed vocal
mechanism. He has some fine moments as “your Uncle Scrooge.” Manny Fernandes is marvelously garbed as Christmas Present. Murray’s adaptation discovers new poetry in the old saw and also some of the text’s darker elements, such as the seafaring “edge of the abyss” section. There are other memorable touches, such as the instant replay of scenes with Christmas Past. This production will stand the test of time and no
doubt establish itself as an Old Town tradition. “A Christmas Carol” continues through Dec. 28, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays; 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays; and 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays at 4040 Twiggs St. $28-$46 (discounts for groups, seniors, children, students and active-duty military).

Boise State, TCU to meet in Dec. 23 Poinsettia Bowl BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
W W W. A B D T U X E D O . C O M
Don’t look for much defense when the Poinsettia Bowl kicks off a week from Tuesday, on Dec. 23 at 5 p.m. at Qualcomm Stadium. In fact, get ready for what could be a long game. Two of the nation’s more prolific offenses will take the field when unbeaten Boise State University (12-0) tangles with twicebeaten Texas Christian University (10-2) in the fourth annual San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. The contest will be televised nationally on ESPN. Best known for the home-blue turf that adorns their field, the Broncos under head coach Chris Petersen finished with a perfect 12-0 regular-season record for the second time in three seasons. In 2006, Boise State put the exclamation point on an undefeated season with a 43-42 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. “We are very excited about making our first trip to the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl to face a very talented TCU team,” said Petersen. “Gary Patterson (TCU head coach) and his staff have done another outstanding job with their team this year. We are looking forward to the challenge and know it will be a very tough battle for our team.” The TCU Horned Frogs, who finished this season at 7-1 in the Mountain West Conference, return to the Poinsettia Bowl for
the second time in three years. In 2006, TCU routed the Northern Illinois Huskies 37-7. “We are delighted to play in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl,” Patterson said. “Boise State is a BCScaliber team, and I have a high admiration for Chris Petersen and his staff. They do an outstanding job in all phases of their team.”
We are delighted to play in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl ... Gary Patterson TCU HEAD COACH
This will be the second time these opponents have faced each other, with Boise State scoring a 34-31 win over TCU in the 2003 Fort Worth Bowl. In last year’s Poinsettia Bowl, Utah scored a 35-32 victory over Navy. The bowl game has been beneficial to San Diego since its inception, having an annual economic impact of approximately $8 million on the community.

Girls water polo teams look to make splash BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Several local scholastic girls water polo teams have their eyes on the prize this season, a CIF title. At The Bishop’s School, head coach Doug Peabody and the Lady Knights finished 25-7 a season ago and were Western League and CIF Division II runner-ups. Bishop’s is paced this season by senior and junior national team member Dominique Sardo, who recently signed a full athletic scholarship to USC. Sardo will be a captain along with fellow seniors Lexi Bohlmeijer and Katie Vaughan. Julie Gantz will round out the seniors on the squad. The junior class will be led by returning starter and all-CIF Division II selection Sarah Presant. Other juniors include Sammi Peck, Melanie Boehrig, Katy Feaver, Kirsten Siegel, and Julia Hill. Sophomores Kaylee Kastrup, Jasmine Carrillo, Kristen Casey and goalie Claryann Olofson-Loo look to have an impact. The Lady Knights are also looking to see freshmen Erin Pannek and Gabby Stone contribute in significant ways as the season goes on. “We are looking to grow as a team early on as we get to know one another and start playing much tougher in our games in January through the rest of the season,” Peabody remarked. An early test will come this weekend at the Villa Park Tournament. Bishop’s opened its
season recently with an 18-2 victory over University City High. Presant and Sardo (seven steals) led the way with five and four goals, respectively, while Bohlmeijer chipped in with three. Olofson-Loo recorded seven saves, while Stone tacked on five. At La Jolla High School, head coach Dante Laghetto and the Lady Vikings were 14-15 a season ago, 2-6 in Western League play. La Jolla reached the semifinals of the CIF’s along the way. This year’s team will be led by senior goalkeeper Sophia Gumina (Cal State Player of the Year), and PSW Zone members Jackie Walters, Merry Yuen, Kate Woods and Victoria Frager. “We do have a good shot at a league/CIF championship as we have the same base as last season,” Laghetto noted. La Jolla is in action today (Thursday) against University City High. Finally, University City High under head coach Ty Lackey went 17-14 last year, qualifying for the CIF semifinals for the seventh time in eight years. Key members this season are sophomores Nina Escobedo, Rachel Fuss and goalie Natalie Silence. “This is a rebuilding year as we return no starters and only three varsity members from last year’s team,” Lackey said. “I am, however, looking forward to the future as we only have one senior and still feel that we can make the top eight in the division.”

Bishop’s shakes off close call, beats Christian in semifinal tilt BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
After The Bishop’s School notched an emotional comefrom-behind win a week earlier, it would not have been a surprise if the team had run out of gas last Friday night in its CIF Division V semifinal contest with Christian High School. Think again. The Knights rallied from a 10point deficit and again played spoilers, scoring a 30-23 overtime win over second-seed Christian in El Cajon. With the win, Bishop’s (7-6) moved into this weekend’s championship game against Francis Parker. Kickoff is set for
Saturday at 7 p.m. at Southwestern College. Parker, which beat Army-Navy 63-7 in last weekend’s semifinals, defeated Bishop’s 31-23 in the regular season. With Bishop’s trailing Christian by a touchdown, freshman quarterback Joey Moreno hit receiver Justin Peabody on a 55yard touchdown pass with just under three minutes in regulation to tie the score at 23-23. In overtime, Mike Jensen scored on a 12-yard touchdown to make it 30-23. With Christian getting its shot to score, Bishop’s defender Rey Felix recorded a sack of the quarterback on fourth down to end the game. Moreno finished 8 of 18 for
239 yards and three touchdown passes, while Mike Jensen caught four passes for 125 yards and a 79-yard touchdown to go with his overtime score. Peabody caught a pair of touchdown passes for a total of 93 yards and kicked a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter. Micah Seau ran 20 times for 72 yards, while Jacob Kelly had 10 rushes for 53 yards. On defense, Seau had 14 tackles, and Mike Jensen added 11. “We are very proud of our team,” Bishop’s head coach Mike David remarked. “Our players are peaking at the right time. We are looking forward to playing in the finals.”

HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Henry the three-legged cat's ‘Just Me Project’ extends a healing paw to children and wounded veterans STORY AND PHOTO BY NICOLE SOURS LARSON | SAN DIEGO PETS A homeless mountain kitten, Henry was taken in by a family staying with Cathy Conheim and Donna Brooks at their Julian home after the family was burnt out by the Cedar Fire. When he showed up with a dangerously dangling left front leg and needed an emergency amputation, no one would have imagined the transformative effect he would have on so many lives. Conheim and Brooks, confirmed dog lovers, had not planned to adopt Henry, but he came into their lives at a time of great loss and grief. Henry, like many pets, filled an unrealized void. Kind-hearted animal lovers, rather than euthanize the trusting kitten they chose to pay for Henry's life-saving surgery and promised to find him an indoor home. Henry rapidly wormed his way into their respect and affections and inspired them to publish his story to benefit other injured and disadvantaged animals. Now, having raised more than $50,000 in four years through sales of his books and other publications to support animals and animal welfare organizations, Henry has become spokescat for a new crusade, partnering with his poodle siste,r Dollydog. Henry's Just Me Project taps into the powerful human-animal bond to extend the three-legged cat's healing message of overcoming obstacles to help both ailing children and their siblings as well as wounded war veterans and their families.
Conheim, a psychotherapist and Henry's "cat scribe," and Brooks, a retired physician, thought they disliked, even hated, cats until Henry took over their lives. The La Jolla residents began to comprehend the power of Henry's story once they received an overwhelming response to Conheim's initial email sent to 20 of their friends detailing the indomitable kitten's tale of survival and triumph. That email boomeranged around the world. Henry, they realized, is a "therapet" and has many lessons to teach humans about healing trauma through storytelling as well as about transforming bias into tolerance and pain, grief and anger into healing and recovery. "He's here to teach us how to deal with our misfortunes. All of us have problems, but Henry says you can't be defined by them. You're defined by your response to your problems. You play the paw that's dealt you, this cat says," Conheim says. Henry's story appeals to adults and children alike. As his first book began to be used as a healing tool in both children's and veterans' hospitals, Conheim saw the potential for a children's book which could teach about "tolerance, survival, courage, perseverance and triumph over barriers and bias." "What's the Matter with Henry?" which Conheim wrote with children's author BJ Gallagher, appeared in 2006 and was quickly adopted by First Book, a national
Henry the three-legged cat enjoys resting in his outdoor kitty “condo” on the deck of the La Jolla home he shares with his rescuers, Cathy Conheim and Donna Brooks, and his sister, poodle Dollydog.

literacy non-profit organization that fell in love with his mission. They distributed thousands of copies of "What's the Matter with Henry?" to children in the Gulf Coast area displaced by Hurricane Katrina and to children of military families dealing with war and deployment-related emotional and physical trauma. The positive response to "What's the Matter with Henry?" prompted Conheim, working with Heather
Wood Ion, to develop the Just Me Project to reach out to "the littlest warriors" and their families, as well as to families of chronically ill or injured children also impacted by stress or trauma. "Henry wants to help teach children how to express their emotions because he's learnt from his moms that dangerous things can happen from unexpressed emotions – physical distress, depression, anger, violence, road rage. Henry legitimizes the conversation to open the door of how to deal with disappointments, tragedies, challenges, whatever life throws you," Conheim explains. As part of the Just Me Project, Conheim and managing director Wood Ion developed "Henry's Kibble for Thought: A Homework Guide for Humans," in which Henry teaches five important lessons fostering healing, recovery and self-esteem. "The Just Me Project is about building resilience and creating a positive vocabulary about capability instead of disability. We know that reframing our perceptions is the first step towards building resilience," says Wood Ion. Henry's role in healing builds upon the trust and openness that people display when talking to innocent animals and pets. "Let's access that area of trust, engagement and warmth that we use in talking with our pets," she adds.
Thanks to generous grants from the Whiteman Foundation and an anonymous donor, the Just Me Project has been able to distribute 3,000 healing kits, which include "What's the Matter with Henry?" and "Henry's Kibble for Thought" workbook, through military family outreach at Camp Pendleton and through Fisher Houses at military bases. Next up for both Conheim and the Just Me Project is a new book centered on Dollydog, "What About Me?" which addresses the emotional issues experienced by the healthy siblings of chronically ill children who often feel invisible and forgotten. As a result, they are more likely to develop behavioral problems, as Dollydog did when the injured Henry invaded her home. "That book is targeted at children who have a sibling or parent who has a greater need. It gives credibility to feelings that don't usually have a voice," Conheim explains. Henry continues his efforts to help other animals and animal welfare organizations. He sells all of his publications at cost to any individuals or animal welfare organizations who wish to resell them to benefit animals in need. To purchase Henry's books and other publications and read more about the Just Me Project and Henry's early history and adventures, visit his website at www.henrysworld.org.

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

A Message from Barry Julian Broomberg, M.D. Dr. Broomberg, Voted Best La Jolla Doctor for Three Consecutive Years I have been practicing Family Medicine for 40 years in South Africa and the United States. I began my practice in 1983 here in La Jolla, and it grew from a small intimate practice to a rather large one, now servicing over 3,600 active patients. Every year the pressure to see more people increases, leaving both the patient and the doctor dissatisfied. The dramatic changes in medicine, throughout the years, have made it exceedingly difficult to deliver a high level of personalized service. With this in mind, I am making some important changes in my practice that allow me to take care of my expanded patient base and offer new personalized wellness options and specialty services. Along with the continuation of general medicine, I am excited to announce the implementation of three categories of enhanced services into my practice.

‘Forty, Schmorty’: Age doesn’t stand a chance against two musicians BY BART MENDOZA | VILLAGE NEWS
Musicians are an inherently young-at-heart bunch, but age catches up with everybody. Two of San Diego’s bestknown musicians, singer Eve Selis and Mattie Mills, frontwoman for the group The Heroes, have banded together to address this issue in a new book, “Forty, Schmorty.” The pair host a combination book signing, reading and music performance at The Madison Gallery, 1020 Prospect St., on Dec. 14 from noon to 4 p.m. Selis and Mills met in 1990, while both were in The Heroes. They lost touch following Selis’ decision to pursue a solo career in 1998 but reconnected a few years later, bonding over discussions on women’s aging and music. “Mattie and I just started talking about life in our 40s,” explained Selis. “We talked about things that happened in our lives up to this point and realized our culture tells us at this age we’re done.” Indeed, with Mills in one of the area’s most popular cover bands and with Selis well on her way to becoming an established artist in Europe, the pair feel that at 40, a woman is just getting started. “So we decided to write a book to inspire, motivate and empower women who are probably feeling the same way we are,” Selis said. They began collaborating on the project in 2006. Life-changing events during the book’s creation gave the project new importance. “During the process of writing this book, Mattie was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I became pregnant at 43,” Selis recalled. “It made our
journey together, talking about our lives, even more meaningful. We hope our readers get the message that at any age we’re all in this together and, whether good or bad, life keeps happening.” Selis noted that “age is a state of mind. You’re as young as you think you are or as old as you think you are.” It’s been said that “40 is the new 20,” and she agrees. “The things we are doing today in our 40s are not the same things our parents or grandparents were doing at this age.” The project, Selis said, “really stems from Mattie saying we should put some of our observations in a book. Eventually, we had to do it,” she said. While some might have expected a pair of musicians to put their thoughts and feelings into song, the way “Forty, Schmorty” was constructed, a book was the only real outlet for what they had to say. “We discussed topics that are important to us today, like our friendship, our parents and being parents ourselves, our marriages, our careers and a few other topics we were not expecting to write,” Selis said. “Then we would meet once a week in Mattie’s kitchen, sit down with our notes, a box of Kleenex and two tape recorders.” Writing sessions were also filmed, with 39 podcast episodes available online. Selis pointed out that the book was revised a half-dozen times. “If I had known how much work it would be, I don’t think I would have done it,” she joked. “With a CD, you know what to expect. You need this many songs, you SEE MILLS, Page B·2

Grunts of satisfaction heard in La Jolla Ecological Reserve BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD | VILLAGE NEWS
Enjoy the panorama while you can. That’s what I tell myself when minimal surge and excellent visibility converge in the shallow waters of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve. The underwater environment appears in high-def format instead of in the traditional viewing of small sections at a time. Schools of fish look crisply outlined against a blue backdrop, as opposed to appearing soft around the edges from a foreground of suspended particulate matter and a background of hazy greenish-brown. One standout fish species found in the shallows is the elegant sargo (Anisotremus davidsoni), which schools in a meandering, graceful way. Silver-gray with a deep body, it is most easily identified by a
black bar that drapes over each side. The s a r g o belongs to the family n a m e d grunts, a reference to its vocalizations. Personally, I h a v e n ’t heard them, but the fish produces such noise by rubbing together a set of teeth located in the throat, likely to ward off predators. Schools of sargo are commonly found hugging the coast from the Marine Room off La Jolla Shores to La Jolla Cove, where they travel over rocky reef, eelgrass beds and sandy-bottom terrains. Here, they
scope out their foods of choice: small invertebrates such as crustaceans, mollusks and bryozoans. As I observe them, I note that though they school above the bottom, a few periodically drop down to pick at the bottom in search of a morsel. Others may follow, then they head back up to join the school higher in the water column. They continue along well off the seafloor, where they may find that a wider-angle view makes it easier to spot prey. The word “sargo” is derived from “sargus,” a fish of close relation well-known to the ancient Greeks and Romans. If history impresses you, consider that members of this family date to the Members of a sargo school dip down over rocky reef to pick up snacks, then Eocene epoch (about 50 million return to the school to let others higher up in the group take their place near the bottom. This strategy lets them feed and remain together for safety. SEE SARGO, Page B·6

15,000 Model T owners can’t be wrong BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | VILLAGE NEWS
Henry Ford’s Tin Lizzie is still alive and bucking the roads of time. Although manufacture started 100 years ago, those remarkable black cars are still putting followers on wheels. Some 15,000 Model T owners covet them today. Just ask a pair of Ramona neighbors, members of the San Diego Model T Club, how they retain an interest in a boxy, black machine with speed strength of 35 miles an hour. Greg Rising and Tony Bowker worked diligently with an assortment of parts to place a 1914 T on display at the San Diego Automotive Museum for the centennial year. The popular car will remain there throughout 2009. Bowker, a retired electrician who has lived in Ramona since 1974, owns several flivvers, stored in a big red barn just off Highway 67. He also works on about 20 others owned by club members. Meanwhile, Rising, a retired air traffic controller who’s lived here for 16 years, is finishing a 1914 model, similar to the one at the museum. “It was Greg’s idea about a year ago to assemble the car for the museum display,” said Bowker, a Briton who has lived here since 1974. Rising said finding parts was
not a problem because of enthusiasm for the Model T hobby throughout the country. “In fact, parts are being manufactured by companies,” he added. “It’s a 1914 chassis with a 1920 engine,” Bowker said. “I’ve been accumulating Model T parts for about 30 years.” “If you were looking at it, you’d find errors with certain parts,” Rising explained. “With the cutaway engine, you can see the pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, valves and the lifters in motion. The one I’m restoring looks similar to the one in the auto museum.” The parts search sometimes takes the two to people’s barns and swap meets in the West. “They even offer me money to take the parts away,” Bowker said. “Used parts are everywhere. You can find them on eBay, in publications and catalogues. And new parts are being manufactured… it’s quite a large hobby. “The Model T is the car that put America on wheels and was the first car my father ever drove. He got a job as a chauffeur to a doctor in 1926 and kept the car at home.” Bowker is a founding member of the San Diego Model T Club, formed in 1983. Greg bought his Model T about four or five years ago. “[I] started building Model Ts in 198l, and I have too many,”
Bowker laughed. The first he purchased is almost identical to the one his father drove. Next is a 1917 touring convertible, which doesn’t have a starter, distributor or oil or water pumps. It does have a crankshaft, connecting rods and valves. Also, there’s a 1915 race car, a 1914 touring car and a 1914 town car. The latter has an open area for the driver and a cab for the passenger. “[A] good-running Model T will run about 35 miles per hour,” Bowker said. “If you get a push from the wind, going downhill you may get up to 45.” The main concern, he added, is that the rear brakes can lock up. “You just keep going,” he said. “The Model T is unique because it was the first massproduced car,” Rising said. “The main difference is their simplicity. It has always fascinated me to see the inner workings. “They used the Model T for about everything, from farm work to hauling stuff. Put it up on blocks and you could generate power for farm machinery.” According to Rising, they came in six different colors in 1909. But because the paint didn’t dry as quick as the cars were turned out from the assembly line, Henry Ford decided to use a fastdrying black enamel. So much for the myth that Henry once said: “You can get it in any color as long as it’s black.” Tony Bowker preps the chassis of his 1914 Ford Model T.

have this much time on the disc, these instruments will be used and so on. But a book doesn’t have boundaries.” Selis, who was working concurrently on her album “Angels and Eagles,” notes that some of the songs included were inspired by the experience of writing this book. “It was such a powerful thing to
COURTESY PHOTO
get together and put these thoughts down on tape that there was no way there couldn’t be some crossover there.” Despite the hard work of putting together a book while juggling career and family, Selis hopes more will follow. “We plan to get a few out in a series as well as a cookbook or two,” Selis said. “Next is ‘Fifty, Schmifty,’ then comes ‘Sexy Sixty,’ and we’ll see how we feel when we are in our 70s.” For more information, please visit fortyschmorty.com.
BUSINESS La Jolla woman receives real estate award BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Despite the nation’s sour economy, La Jolla’s Irene Chandler won the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association (REBA) 2008 McNaught-Davis/Knox Award this past October. “It’s been our best year yet, even with the market in such turmoil,” Chandler said. Chandler received the award for “personal integrity, community activity, service to the real estate profession, salesmanship and cooperation with associates” from REBA members who won the award previously, including Chandler’s partner, Jim Schultz. REBA members nominate likely candidates from more than 600 members. Past award recipients whittle candidates down until they select fewer nominees and then one winner, Chandler said. “It was really a surprise,” Chandler said. “It’s just given
Irene Chandler
once in a lifetime. My partner received one, and it’s taken me over 30 years.” Schultz won the award, given to only one agent a year, in 1994.
Schultz and Chandler have worked at La Jolla’s Coldwell Banker branch for the past 28 years, Chandler said, adding that the two have been partners for more than 30. Chandler keeps plugging away, she said, selling real estate despite the troubling economy. And she attributes her success to her community relations. “I volunteer every Friday from 8 to 12 at the breast care center at Scripps,” Chandler said. “They have about 105 patients who come through every day. It’s a busy center for breast care.” Chandler also volunteers for Mainly Mozart, PAWS and other organizations, she said. Chandler recently celebrated her 21st wedding anniversary to her husband George, who, she said, was also the perfect client. For more information, visit www.ireneandjim.com.
San Diego businesses recognized in statewide recycling revolution BY JOSEPH GREENBERG | VILLAGE NEWS
In a day and age in which going green counts, some San Diego businesses are making the extra effort. The actions of some proactive companies have saved more than 1 million tons of refuse from reaching landfills and have cut greenhouse gas carbon dioxide emissions by a half million tons. All this was accomplished this year through some 1,200 businesses getting creative and taking part in California’s recycling revolution. With landfills running out of room and with space for disposal becoming finite, it is clearly a revolution that needs to happen. In a move to foster awareness and action, the California Integrated Waste Management Board is recognizing the efforts of those businesses through its 2008 Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP). Applicants for this award had to comply with a checklist of criteria. They were then evaluated on waste prevention, materials reuse, recycling and employee education. The list of WRAP winners includes just under a dozen San Diego companies, including La Jolla’s Synthetic Genomics, Inc.,
along with Taylor Guitars, Crowne Plaza, Cox Communications, Inc., Kyocera Wireless Corp., SAIC Inc., the San Diego Convention Center and the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Each business met the stringent criteria by finding myriad innovative and creative ways to reuse material. “We created a green committee made up of top-level executives down through different levels of management that looks at how we can affect our environment in a positive manner,” said Kelley Commerford, the director of marketing and public relations at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Commerford described just a few of the exciting green initiatives the Hyatt has undertaken, including cleaning and reusing water bottles from the Hyatt’s restaurant. The procedure is designed to save huge amounts of plastic from going to landfills. The hotel also recycles water used for laundry, treating it with safe chemicals to clean it and reusing it to wash the next load, which saves hundreds of thousands of gallons of water. “We now have our doormen ask guests not to idle their cars for longer than two or three minutes so as not to create emis-
sions,” Commerford said. This last example truly illustrates a company taking the next step. For their efforts, the Manchester Grand Hyatt and the other winning businesses received a certificate of recognition and the right to use the WRAP Award winner logo for promotional advertising and for making public their accomplishments. WRAP winners streamlined existing recycling practices and found new ways to reuse a variety of materials. By doing this, they are strengthening the trend toward conservation and setting an example for others to follow. Through the actions of these businesses, California has exceeded its 50 percent waste diversion mandate, said Integrated Waste Management Board Chair Margo Reid Brown. The recycling industry is now equivalent to the size of the motion picture industry in California, producing $10 billion worth of goods and services every year. It accounts for more than 85,000 jobs and generates $4 billion in salaries and wages. A full list of winners is available online at www.ciwmb.ca.gov/wrap along with more examples of how award-winning businesses divert waste.

Ask Aubrey
you have any tips Q. Do for year-end tax planning? As we know, California A. and the U.S. Government are awash in a sea of debt. American households, especially those with higher incomes, had better start preparing for the likelihood of higher tax rates in the years ahead. However, don’t panic. Under the U.S. Tax Code, there are many things you can do to cushion the blow. Taxes represent one of the largest components of the typical family’s budget. The total tax bite of all federal, state and local taxes is big and may get
bigger. Interested in how much you did pay last year? Find your 2007 1040 – line 63 shows what you paid last year in Federal income and capital gain taxes. Next, check your California return, form 540 and check line 34 – the amount you paid last year in state taxes. Now, total both and add your real estate taxes, payroll taxes from your W-2 and then estimate your sales taxes paid on purchases. Shocked? Why did you pay so much? If you met with your tax person once, you only had your taxes prepared. Specific strategies may include: making charitable donations; investment tax-loss harvesting; starting or maximizing retirement plan contributions; accelerating deductions into 2008 or deferring income into 2009. If you own or operate a small business, there may be other opportunities available. You should seek the advice of a qualified tax professional and do some tax planning, which may reduce your tax burden for this year. As always, let us know if we can be of assistance.

Skiers fly off the screen in new Warren Miller action sports film 'Children of Winter' BY JOSEPH GREENBERG | VILLAGE NEWS
Warren Miller Entertainment continues to add to its deep repertoire of action sports films with “Children of Winter,” which plays in San Diego through Dec. 14 as part of a tour that travels across the nation and through nine coun-
tries from October through December. The film is touring the country in limited release and makes stops in roughly 240 U.S. cities, with screenings often running one night only. Due to the short duration of screening dates, Miller’s films often attract a

fiercely devoted following. “It is really fun to see [a showing] with a live audience,” said national tour director Craig Oberlink. Warren Miller films attract crowds of all ages, “from families with young kids to people in their 20s and 30s, and even enthusiasts that have been skiing for 60 years” Oberlink said. “The films really appeal to everyone. The common denominator is simply being a fan of winter sports – skiing and snowboarding — just enjoying the winter,” Oberlink said. “Children of Winter,” Miller’s 59th annual film, features the stunning physical beauty of areas such as Japan, Austria, British Columbia, Alaska and Iceland. Coupled with the natural beauty of these places is the impressive assembly of world-class athletes, including Jonny Moseley, Daron Rahlves, Marco Sullivan, Seth Wescott, Gerry Lopez and Wendy Fisher. “Children of Winter” constitutes the fifth Miller film that Olympic skier Moseley has participated in. Moseley accredits the acclaimed director with being the pioneer of the winter sports film genre. “These types of films were started by Warren Miller. At one point, he picked up a camera and started filming ski movies before anybody else did,” said Moseley. Moseley skied in two segments of this year’s film. One was shot in Japan, where he reunited with Takehiro Sakamoto, a Japanese
athlete with whom he competed against in the 1998 Winter Olympics, held in Nagano, Japan. It was the same year he won the Gold Medal. When asked about his interaction with his old competitor, Moseley said, “It was a lot of fun to free-ski with Takehiro, but we didn’t compete against each other. It’s special because I knew we were similar people who grew up doing similar things, just on different continents.” Narration is a distinct feature of Miller’s films. In the tour’s early years, Oberlink said, “Miller would go city to city, operating a device that could pause and restart the film.” During the pause, Miller would add personal and anecdotal information about the location shot or about the athlete on the screen, in effect narrating his film. As technology improved, Miller began narrating films in the production process so that he would not have to be talking on the nights his films would show. Along with his narration came selected soundtracks from popular musical artists to add further artistry to the films. “Warren Miller films are premiere. They are able to shoot at some of the most amazing locations in the world,” said Moseley. “People follow in Warren’s footsteps. Other films focus on a smaller level, where Warren’s style incorporates a much grander and broader scale.” Over the past few years, Mose-
ley has seen his role behind the scenes slowly build and take on more responsibility. “My role as a skier and participant is almost secondary to how much I did narrating this year,” he said. “I really try to gauge the feeling of a clip when narrating. Some sequences are more extreme and exciting, where others are more peaceful and serene. You have to reflect this with the tone of your voice.” Moseley’s increased role in narration has come about partly because of Miller’s lesser involvement in the films. As the creator of his own film company, Miller has left a legacy that will reflect and stay true to his style for years to come. Warren Miller Entertainment will also continue to put out these films, which have amassed a “devoted following almost rabid in their appreciation,” said Oberlink. “The world’s largest action sports film” continues its trend of providing incredible cinematography with “huge airs” over deep and pristine powder from around the world.

THURSDAY DECEMBER 11, 2008 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
Transforming concrete around your home is easier than you imagine Curb appeal not only provides a first impression of your home but it also adds value. In the past, when it came to updating concrete and asphalt, most homeowners assumed that improvements would require a jackhammer and a whole lot of sweat equity. Thanks to innovations from Rust-Oleum, it’s easy to restore and beautify concrete and asphalt surfaces without hiring a contractor. Here are a few tips from the experts at Rust-Oleum that are sure to add plenty of curb appeal to your home. Add style to patios and walkways. Decorative concrete has become a hot home improvement trend. Adding color and style to old gray concrete surfaces is as easy as painting with new concrete stains like Rust-Oleum(R) Semi-Transparent Concrete Stain. Water-based and easy to apply, it adds durable color and dimension to concrete porches, patios, walkways, pool decks and more. It’s available in seven pre-mixed colors and 34 custom colors to suit every style! Try Concrete Stain in Limestone for a clean, fresh look. Or use Earth Brown to give a dramatic, decorative look. In fact, browns are one of the most popular colors in today’s outdoor decorating trends. Repair and restore concrete sur-

Easy ways to increase appeal In today’s housing market, homeowners need to be more proactive than ever before when it comes to selling their homes. Whereas the real estate boom at the turn of the century made things easy on sellers, the current real estate climate is not so sellerfriendly. To make their homes more attractive to prospective buyers, homeowners are often told to increase the home’s “curb appeal.” This involves how the home looks from the street and how good a first impression a home will make on prospective buyers. Homeowners looking to increase their home’s curb appeal should consider the following tips: • Make a more enchanting entrance. The very first part of the home prospective buyers will see is the front door. Typically, the house number is located right near the front door, so the buyers will be looking for the number and once they see it they can’t help but look at the door itself. A decrepit or older door will not make a good first impression. If
you don’t want (or need) to replace the door, touch up the paint job. Other ways to improve a home’s entrance is to make sure the doorknob or doorknocker is polished before showing a home, and to ensure the doorbell is functioning as well. These are small and easy projects, but if neglected, they’ll give buyers the impression that other, bigger things might have been neglected as well. If your home has a front porch or stoop, be sure to inspect it for cracks. An older porch or stoop should be replaced, and any chips or cracks in the steps should be fixed. • Ready the roof. A new roof is very expensive, and buyers understandably often run from homes that need a new roof. Sellers should hire their own home inspector to determine the condition of the roof before putting the home up for sale. If you wait until after putting the home up for sale, it will likely take more time to sell the home, and buyers will wonder why the home was listed so long.
University City SOLD

SOLD
Know the home’s ups and downs before putting it up for sale to minimize any potential concerns from buyers. • Perfect the paint job. For homes without siding, be sure that the paint job is up to snuff. Any areas with peeling or chipping paint should receive a fresh coat of paint, and this is another job that should be handled well before listing the home. • Lavish the lawn with attention. Buyers love a lush green lawn, and that lawn goes a long way to creating a solid first impression. The first thing buyers will see once they pull up curbside is the lawn. If the grass is dry with brown spots or appears neglected, many buyers will find that hard to overlook. Homeowners preparing to sell their home in the fall should lavish attention on their lawn throughout the summer, keeping it watered and possibly hiring a landscaping service to make it more appealing. Consider planting flowers or other decorative foliage.

years ago). I’ve not seen a sargo beyond 16 inches long, but it can grow to a bit over 20 inches long. Ranging from Central California to Southern Baja, the hearty fish was planted in the Salton Sea in 1951 because it can survive a wide
range of salinities. Out of more than 30 fish species planted by the Department of Fish and Game at that time, the sargo was one of only three that caught on and spawned. Interestingly, studies showed that this fish enjoyed faster growth in the Salton Sea than its Pacific counterpart but experienced a shorter life span.
