Hanging baskets may get the axe
Lancers skewer Knights in CIF Division V final BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Activists want to revamp containers and plants BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS
The hanging flower baskets around La Jolla are looking drab, but activists have a bright future in mind for them: scrap all the flimsy plastic-and-moss baskets and replace them with thick, sustainable containers and more drought-tolerant plants. The Streetscape/Beautification Committee, a joint committee of the La Jolla Town Council and Promote La Jolla (PLJ), discussed the plan Nov. 23 and is awaiting bids from two landscape contractors. The committee envisions replacing the wire baskets that hold moss with a thick plastic, lifetime-guaranteed basket that is terracotta in color and, apparently, doesn’t look like plastic — similar to the baskets hanging outside Hotel Parisi on Prospect Street, explained Glen Rasmussen, a member of the streetscape committee. “Water just goes through [the current baskets] like a sieve, and they evaporate 360 degrees,” Rasmussen said. “Plus, the baskets rust.” The committee agreed the baskets should be filled with more drought-tolerant plants that need to be watered once per week, unlike the baskets’ current tropical plants such as lobelia that need watering three times per week. The 236 flower baskets hanging in the village have not been replaced since they were installed in 2003. Rasmussen estimated it will cost approximately $250 to replace and maintain each basket for a year, for a total cost of $59,000. PLJ has budgeted $28,000 for the hanging baskets for the next six months, so it’s unclear how the group will handle the cost. PLJ typically pays to maintain the baskets but has not had the money to do so since the city failed to approve the group’s budget in July, following an ongoing investigation into the business improvement district’s finances. PLJ continues to wait for the city to approve an interim budget, so that the city can start collecting fees from the village businesses. Regardless of PLJ’s budget, the committee would like to see residents and businesses step up to the plate to fund the baskets to save PLJ’s reserves for other projects. “People in La Jolla can sponsor a basket in memory of a loved one or for themselves,” Rasmussen said. “The only way to do that is to get people to buy into the idea that these hanging baskets are appropriate and sustainable.” While PLJ has languished, volunteers and the group’s contracted landscaper have helped to care for the flower baskets since July.

The Bishop's School's Alec Fisher literally carried his team with 24 carries VILLAGE NEWS | DON BALCH for 244 yards and two touchdowns.
The hopes of a CIF football title unfortunately went by the wayside and quickly last Friday, Dec. 11 at Qualcomm Stadium, as The Bishop’s School dropped a 55-20 decision to rival Francis Parker in the Division V championship. Down 14-0 early in the first quarter, Bishop’s would watch Parker go on to score 41 more points on the day, in securing its second straight section title. Junior Kenny Brookins (14 carries/127 yards rushing) scored on runs of 10, 6 and 21 yards for the Lancers. Alec Fisher rushed for 260 yards and two touchdowns for Bishop’s (8-5), which fell 55-24 to Parker in the regular season. “The game obviously did not go the way we wanted,” Bishop’s head coach

Port job could conflict with CCC for Peters BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS
Questions remain as to whether former city councilman Scott Peters will be appointed to the California Coastal Commission since he currently serves on San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners. La Jollan Peters represented District 1 on City Council for eight years before terming out last year. Port projects are brought before the Coastal Commission for consideration throughout the year, so serving on both boards could pose a conflict for Peters, who said he would recuse himself on San Diego’s harbor decisions. The Attorney General’s Office is reviewing the situation and will likely decide within a week or two whether Peters can serve on both boards simultane-

Coastal commissioner Khatchik Achadjian of San Luis Obispo had appointed Peters as her alternate. “If there is an inconsistency, I would have to choose between the offices, and I will decline my appointment as an alternate to the Coastal Commission so that I can continue to serve as a port commissioner,” Peters said in an e-mail.

is not a new post for Peters, who served on the commission from 2002 to ’05. Both the port authority and coastal commission are unpaid positions. “The Coastal Commission is one of the most important and effective environmental
protection agencies in the world… Now that I have completed my service on the City Council, I am pleased that I may again have the chance to serve the state as a Coastal Commissioner,” Peters said. “It is an exciting and challenging role, and I believe my experience and perspective can help the coast and the San Diego region.” A lawyer with a 15-year background in environmental law, Peters is not currently practicing. Instead, he said he has spent the past year volunteering on civic boards and spending more time with his teenagers. Peters is chairing the Climate Initiative at the San Diego Foundation in addition to serving on the Port Commission, where he will be named vice-chair in 2010. ■

Reductions in public safety positions and additional cuts to city services marked the final action of the San Diego City Council in 2009 as council members recess until next year. The San Diego City Council on Monday approved midyear budget amendments to help close an estimated $179 million budget deficit projected for 2011. Part of the mayor’s 18-month plan adopted by the council includes cutting administrative positions, reducing library hours at all branches and cutting civilian positions in public safety services, as well as shifting about $4.3 million in Mission Bay revenue to the general fund, effectively putting off maintenance projects. Cuts also include reductions to lifeguard services at Torrey Pines State Beach for nine months out of the year, according to city documents. During the council meet-

City Council approved the budget recommendations 7-1 Dec. 14, with District 5 Councilman Carl DeMaio reiterating his vote against the mayor’s recommendations because it is “not structurally balanced,” he said. “It relies on one-time monies… one-time fixes that will fall apart in… 2012,” DeMaio said. “It also intentionally underfunds our retiree healthcare benefits to the tune of $60 million.” Though council voted to approve the changes, the city would still face an estimated $77 million deficit next year, he said.

where he worked. Michael Landri, 30, had apparently just left a holiday party and was allegedly driving intoxicated “at a high rate of speed” with a companion in his Volkswagen when he struck Purton, according to the police report. A detective estimated that Landri was driving upwards of 70 miles per hour since the victim’s rear bumper was found in the front seat. Both cars exploded into flames, but a nearby UCSD employee heard the blast and
broke the window of the Volkswagen to rescue Landri and his passenger, who only suffered minor injuries. Landri is facing charges of gross vehicular manslaughter, said SDPD spokeswoman Monica Munoz.

Donors, CCC permits may block fire-ring removal BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
As the City Council voted this week 7-1 to close the estimated $179 million city budget shortfall, the city’s fire pit program could go up in smoke by next summer should the city fail to raise about $173,000 by Dec. 31 to save the program that is hailed as a cornerstone of local beach culture. City Park and Recreation Department officials said removal of the fire pits could begin by the end of next June if funding is not found. The issue may also not be as cut and dried as a budget matter. Deborah Lee, district manager for the California Coastal Commission’s San Diego coast area, said the city needs a permit to remove the 186 fire rings in parks and beaches or it could potentially face stiff penalties — possibly as much as $6,000 per day for violations. The city can apply for a permit at no charge but the process could take six to eight weeks, Lee said. “If the city does want to pursue it, we’re hoping they’ve looked at a

Vavi Sports and Social Club donated the largest sum of $250, according to the city. “We’ll keep them (fire pits) if our economy recovers and… if we could get into a position where we could replace them,” Laing said. Cutting the program would save about $105,000 in salary expenses, with additional savings by cutting associated benefits, Laing said. Though the positions would be eliminated, employees working the program may “not necessarily” be laid off, Laing said. However, the positions are but two of 530 fulltime equivalent positions Sanders proposed to eliminate across city departments. Cuts to Fire department and civilian public safety positions should save about $82.6 million, according to city officials. About 200 of the positions are currently filled, according to a statement by the mayor’s office. Along with the fire pits, the Park and Recreation Department faces cutting additional positions after City Council approved the mayor’s proposed 18-month budget reductions

A Facebook Webpage and a Website, www.savethefirepits.com, has sparked a small movement. The Website includes an online petition to “save the fire pits.” Though site administrators could not be reached, the Website reads: “… Fire Pits on the beaches have survived for decades, through prosperous and lean times. Let’s not let the city use these tight times as the excuse to eliminate them forever. This is an opportunity to reduce the costs, but not destroy a San Diego tradition.” ■

As an example, Lee said the city of Coronado applied years ago to remove fire pits because of an “over-concentration” in some areas, but ended up simply relocating them. The fire pit program, which requires a full-time staff of two and a front loading tractor, was placed on the chopping block a year ago before an anonymous donor stepped up and contributed nearly $260,000 to keep the program running through June 2010. As city staff works to cobble together a plan to close next year’s estimated $179 million budget shortfall — largely driven by the recession — the city could snuff the program and dispose of the concrete fire pits, said Rachel Laing, spokeswoman for Mayor Jerry Sanders’ office.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A treasure in La Jolla Shores As I parked my car one evening recently on Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores village, I couldn’t help but notice how enchanting the little boutiques looked with their Christmas decorations in their windows all lit up. One boutique had arranged their windows with Old World European papier mache figurines sitting on antique tables next to clothes and accessories too attractive to walk by without stopping to admire them. There were Christmas trees with twinkling lights on the upstairs balconies. Other shops next door and nearby were also attractively decorated in Christmas colors and had such a warm, appealing glow to them that I felt compelled to linger a while to enjoy the enchanting scene a few minutes longer. I was reminded of European villages I had visited at Christmas time and thought how utterly charming the whole scene was. Since that evening, I have heard that a large modern building is being planned by a private developer to be built right next door to the row of boutiques I have mentioned above. I was incredulous when I was told about this and shown a drawing of the proposed structure. Is there no one on the planning commission or on the council who understands how precious this charming little area is and its tourism value to the community as a whole? What can an ugly, pseudo modern building like the one being proposed on the corner of Avenida de la Playa and El Paseo Grande possibly do for either the village or the village residents? If anything, it will denigrate it. Visitors will no longer find the area special. There is no question that modern architecture has its place in the world and there are, indeed, several modern homes and large

Stop Iran’s nuclear menace Iran has again rejected generous diplomatic offers from the West and we don’t have much time to achieve our objective: prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Serious sanctions must be put in place to convince Iranian government leaders to change their words and actions. There should be no trade or other economic activity with Iran until the government proves to the world community that it has stopped enriching uranium and has agreed to ship its uranium out of Iran for refinement. Iran claimed publicly to have 3,000 working centrifuges but until recently hid a major uranium enrichment facility in the city of Qom. Weeks after the existence of the facility was revealed, International Atomic Energy Agency officials inspected those facilities. But what did Iran hide in the weeks before the inspections began, and are there other Iranian-controlled facilities that we don’t know about either inside, or outside, Iran? The Iranians rejected a U.S.backed deal last month to ship most of its enriched uranium abroad, leading to a censure res-
den from helping the world’s largest state sponsor of terror. • Freeze more Iranian bank assets. In 2007, Bank Melli, Iran’s largest state-owned bank, cashed in its dollar assets for euros. The Iranian banking strategy depends on the euro. In June 2008, all of the EU’s 27 member-states agreed to freeze any assets held by Bank Melli in their jurisdictions. Those EU measures, taken in 2008, signaled growing impatience with Iranian foot-dragging in negotiations over halting uranium enrichment. But as Iran continues to pursue its enrichment program, more must be done. The French and German governments must divest their large holdings in Bank Melli Iran. • Issue travel bans. All Iranian government employees and their families should have their foreign assets frozen. They should also be subjected to travel bans until Iran is verified to have stopped its nuclear program and support of terrorism. • Ban arms sales to Iran. In 2006, the United States called on all countries to stop arms exports to Iran, but much more must be done to verify that it has occurred. • Increase targeted broadcasting into Iran through various communications channels, including Radio Free Europe, Voice of America, the BBC and especially private broadcasting entities. Support democracy activists by broadcasting events inside of Iran so that activists can more easily learn what is occurring in the various cities and towns in Iran. • Ban Iranian commercial airlines from entering European Union countries for failure to meet international safety stan-

olution from the International Atomic Energy Agency. It is time to demand that Iran stop seeking a nuclear bomb and pursue a peaceful path. Allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon would embolden the Islamic republic, prompting the government to increase its sponsorship of terrorism and make good on its offer to share nuclear knowhow with terrorists who could strike anywhere, at any time. The time has come for severe sanctions as a means to get Iran to stop its nuclear program. The international community must take urgent action now to peacefully stop the threat of a nuclear Iran. Following are nine ways to curb the threat and avoid war: • Until Iran halts its nuclear program, the international community should stop doing business with companies that supply refined petroleum to Iran. Due to a lack of oil refinery facilities in Iran, it must import 40 percent of its refined fuel. Halting such imports into Iran will help discourage Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon and its support of terrorism. Iran is currently the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. • Governments that care about security and peace must ban banks from providing credit, insurance and loan repayment guarantees to foreign oil companies that supply fuel to Iran or help expand the country’s domestic refining capacity. The international community should prohibit insurance companies from insuring tankers going to Iran. The majority of tankers carrying gasoline to Iran are insured by Lloyds of London, a company that should be forbid-

dards. • Work quickly and effectively with the international community to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons. Tough economic sanctions can change Iran’s nuclear policy. It’s not too late. The time to act is now! Monica Simpson La Jolla Clearly the nuclear aspiration of the Iranian regime is the most clear and present international threat to the security and interests of the United States and our allies. The thought of Iran with nuclear capabilities is incredibly unnerving — if we do not act immediately, we will be enabling a scourge to international peace, stability and security that cannot be undone afterwards. Even considering the dangers presented by Iraq or Afghanistan, these countries absolutely pale in comparison to the global danger presented by a radical Iranian regime with nuclear weapons and delivery technologies. As the most pressing security issue of our day, I urge you to enact every legislative measure available to curb this threat and derail Iran’s agenda of global destabilization and destruction. Our international allies must be encouraged to do the same in no uncertain terms. This situation is non-negotiable and there is no compromise. Either we act boldly now, or generations to come will pay the price for our inaction. Eliot Feldstein La Jolla

Grand ‘Gingerbread City’ at Grand Del Mar benefits Epilepsy Foundation Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas Epilepsy is a common disorder of the nervous system — so common that about one person in 100 has the condition. That’s about 50,000 San Diegans and 2.7 million Americans. Even with treatment, about 44 percent continue to have seizures. Victims must also deal with the misconception that equates epilepsy with mental illness. The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County (EFSD) works to improve the quality of life for those with seizure disorders. Since 1954, they have provided counseling, education and a variety of supportive services to those whose lives are touched by epilepsy — all free of charge. Sally Thornton annually chairs a beautiful, seasonally appropriate fund-raiser for EFSD. Called “Gingerbread City,” it’s become the West Coast’s largest nationally recognized gingerbread competition. This year’s theme was “The Greatest Stories Ever Told,” artfully interpreted mainly as fairy tales and children’s stories. On display were 19 extremely beautiful and amazingly detailed creations submitted by talented designers and bakers. The originality and the level of detail were truly exceptional — the best ever seen at this annual event. Oddly, we use the word “gingerbread” to mean “elaborate ornamentation,” especially in architecture… The complexity
and attention to detail in these structures were perhaps most evident in the incredible “Pinocchio’s Journey” by Melody, Chad and Cal Morse. Sadly, the judges (who had extremely difficult decisions to make) did not include this epic work among the prizewinners — but even the top prize of $2,500 would not have been sufficient reward for the effort that went into its design and construction. But the best reward, of course, is the personal satisfaction that comes from aiding a worthwhile cause. This year, Gingerbread City was held at the Grand Del Mar, a pretty elaborate creation in itself. The Full Measure Carolers (in full period attire) sang holiday songs with great style. Celebrity chefs from a dozen exceptional area restaurants (including the Grand Del Mar) prepared a broad spectrum of delicious dishes (again; perhaps the best ever at this event), all available at tables around the perimeter of the room. Wisely, gingerbread cookies were among the desserts on hand, thus protecting the fabulous gingerbread structures from the danger of bite marks. After the competition, guests bid big in the live and silent auctions, which included such things as dinners prepared by the celebrity chefs, and those stunning gingerbread creations themselves.

Methane gas pipe plan halts trucking BY ANTHONY GENTILE | VILLAGE NEWS
The City Council voted unanimously Dec. 8 to amend the city’s current contract to recycle excess methane gas from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant. The decision curbs the original plan of trucking the volatile gas through Peninsula neighborhoods.
“It’s a strong win for the environment and an even stronger win for the community,” said District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer. The city will now use existing San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) fuel lines to transport the gas when the project begins in 2011. Faulconer learned of resident
opposition to the gas-hauling alternative in August that grew out of an effort by Citizens for a Green and Safe Point Loma, a citizens group that has been vocal in opposing the city’s trucking option. Catalina Boulevard resident John Pedersen spearheads this group. SEE GAS, Page 14
Three men dealt a blow to Loghman Jewelers that has caused owner Alan Loghman to offer huge sales on his merchandise and close the store after 11 years in the village. Two men came into the business at 7884 Girard Ave. around noon on Wednesday, Dec. 9 to shop for watches as an accomplice apparently drank beer nearby. One of the men later returned to purchase the watch after Loghman had stepped out, leaving his 79-year-old uncle to handle the sale. As Loghman’s uncle checked the price on the $55,000 watch, the man hit the shopkeeper in the face and stole the watch, accord-
ing to Loghman. His uncle was left unconscious and suffered a broken nose that has to be surgically repaired. “I don’t feel safe enough to stay,” Loghman said. “I don’t want to come in to find someone dead for jewelry.” Police are still searching for the three suspects, described as lightskinned Mexican men. Loghman Jewelers has been robbed before but no one was ever assaulted. Three years ago someone grabbed a handful of diamond earrings and ran, and six years ago someone took off with a diamond watch. “People get robbed but assault SEE JEWELER, Page 14
Golden Bears, Utes to tangle in Poinsettia Bowl match-up BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
The Pac-10 and the Mountain West conferences are set to collide next Wednesday evening, Dec. 23, as the fifth annual San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl matches up the California Golden Bears and the Utah Utes. Kickoff at Qualcomm Stadium is 5 p.m. PT, with the game being televised nationally on ESPN. Head Coach Kyle Whittingham leads his Utes into San Diego with a 9-3 overall record, 6-2 in the Mountain West Conference. This year’s bowl game will be Utah’s seventh straight bowl appearance, including a 35-32 victory over the Navy Midshipmen in the 2007 San Diego
County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. “We have around 25 players on our roster from Southern California and we hope for a big turnout from our fans, as is typical anytime we play in Qualcomm Stadium,” Whittingham commented. “Cal is a formidable opponent and one we look forward to playing. We like playing Pac-10 teams and we anticipate a great game.” Utah is led on offense by twotime first-team all-conference tackle Zane Beadles and the first 1,000 rushing-receiving tandem at Utah in 18 years.

FROM MY GARDEN
Christmas poinsettias: Flores de Noche Buena BY LINDA MARRONE
In Mexico, during the holiday season, a story is told about a poor young girl who was embarrassed and sad that she could only bring a bouquet of simple weeds to church for her Christmas offering. Her young brother tried to comfort her, saying, “Even the most humble gift, if given in love, will be acceptable in His eyes.” It is told that when the girl placed her offering on the church
altar Christmas Eve night, the humble bouquet burst into a brilliant display of beautiful red flowers. In Mexico, the poinsettia plant is known as Flores de Noche Buena, Flowers of the Holy Night. A native of Mexico, the poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) was cultivated and used by the Aztecs for dyes and as a medicinal plant to bring down fevers. The plant was introduced to the United States by our first ambassador to Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinsett, in
1825 and since its introduction it has become an American holiday tradition. The beautiful red petals of the poinsettia are not the plant’s flower but its leaves. The plant’s flower, or cyathia, is the small yellow and green berry-like center portion of the plant. In the 1980s, I had the privilege of meeting local horticulturist Milton Sessions, the nephew of Kate Sessions. I enjoyed my conversaSEE FLORES, Page 19 The greenhouses at Weidners Gardens turn to red at this time of year.

is unacceptable,” Loghman said. “This kind of animal needs to be behind bars. They didn’t have to attack a 79-year-old man when they know there’s nothing he can do.” The holidays have not brought much cheer for Loghman, who said business has not picked up despite the season. Plus, Loghman still has two years left on his lease and is seeking a tenant. Loghman doesn’t plan to take his jewelry store elsewhere. Instead, he will focus on his other profession as a mechanical engineer and owner of Pacific Design & Construction. Loghman’s brother will continue to run the jewelry store at Del Mar Plaza. ■
GAS CONTINUED FROM Page 13
“Citizens for a Green and Safe Point Loma and Point Loma residents are very pleased with the revised outcome for the handling and distribution of excess methane gas from the Point Loma Wastewater facility,” Pedersen said. “Utilizing the existing SDG&E pipeline to transport the gas instead of trucking through our residential neighborhoods is a practical, green and safe solution.” Now the project falls into the hands of SDG&E and BioFuels Energy, the Carlsbad company that the city has contracted with. Jeffrey Reed, director of marketing and emergent technology for
AL FRESCO STYLE The newly renovated Mediterranean Patio at La Valencia Hotel is dressed to impress for a Dec. 10 celebratory reception. Mediterranean flavor specialist Sean Eastwood, who has joined La Valencia as the new executive chef, will oversee not only the Mediterranean Room and Patio but the hotel’s famed Sky Room and its Whaling Bar & Grill.
SDG&E, said construction for the project will begin late next year or early 2011. “Given the (City) Council approval now to restructure the project to pipeline injection, BioFuels Energy will be moving forward with additional design work, financing and then commencing construction,” Reed said. According to Reed, SDG&E has recently been looking into putting bio-gas on their grid. So when Faulconer came to SDG&E with the proposal he and locals developed in September, Reed said SDG&E officials were happy to pursue the alternative. “We’ve had a bio-gas initiative for the last couple of years studying feasibility of bringing bio-gas resources onto the system. We
were certainly ripe for this,” Reed said. “We were at the stage of beginning to identify initial commercial projects that could start to supply their gas to the system. So it was quite timely.” SDG&E will work with BioFuels Energy in support of their efforts. Reed said SDG&E would be responsible for the design, engineering and construction for the interconnection of existing facilities with its grid while the BioFuels would do the same for any other facilities necessary for the project. “SDG&E views bio-gas as a very important potential renewable resource for the state and we’re very pleased to see the first commercial project going into the implementation phase,” Reed said. ■

WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
Booters look to net strong seasons BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
For three area scholastic boys soccer teams, the 2009-’10 season is one they hope will bring them a lot of kicks. At La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School, veteran head coach Jerry Fleischhacker and the Torreys finished with a 17-5-3 record a season ago (5-2-1 Coastal South), losing in the CIF quarterfinals. With a number of four-year starters gone to graduation, LJCD will look this season to co-captains Alex Fleischhacker (midfielder), Alistair Dobke (versatile two-year starter capable of playing many positions), and defensive standout Lee Klitzner, a junior. Klitzner will be joined on defense by Philip Poyhonen (twoyear starter), Dillon DuBois (back after missing the much of last season due to a knee injury) and Dan Rogers. According to Fleischhhacker, no one will appreciate this strong group more than junior goalkeeper Michael Bailey, who showed a great deal of improvement last season, his first as a starter. Elsewhere, Hunter Khaleghi, a talented junior playmaker, will start in midfield while scoring should be provided by senior forwards Ryan French (11 goals last year), Rodrigo Cuenca (nine goals, seven assists) and Dennis Roth, a talented multi-sport athlete returning to soccer after a three-year layoff. The last starting spot will likely go to newcomer Tyler Hong. Two other returning varsity players,

seniors Max Ferre and Brian Trausch, and sophomore Noah Wolfenzon, moving up from the JV squad, and will likely challenge the starters for playing time. LJCD opened this season 3-0, reaching the semifinals of the Francis Parker Small Schools Tournament. Roth now leads the team with five goals and two assists in three games. Bailey, meantime, sports a nifty 0.4 goals against average. At La Jolla High School, firstyear head coach Elliott Savitz and the Vikings field a team that went 7-6-6 a season ago, reaching the
first round of CIFs. Key players this winter should include Sam Mahmood (center forward/center mid), Alex Jaziri (outside mid), Wyatt Cuddington (midfield) and Alan Ampudia (forward). “I expect us to be competitive in every game,” Savitz remarked. “Our possession has been excellent, and we are playing attractive soccer. If we continue to work for one another, and we make the most of our opportunities around the box, we will be a difficult team to beat.” At The Bishop’s School, veteran head coach Malcolm Tovey and the Knights come off a season in which they won the Coastal League South and lost in the CIF semifinals on penalty kicks. Key players this season include Tyler Evans, Justin Peabody, Stefano Vivaldi and Kyle Jesters. “This is a very young team, featuring six freshmen, that has the ability to improve and develop as the season progresses,” Tovey said. “I expect us to be in a position to challenge at the end of the season,” Tovey added. ■

It was aerial maneuvers like this that earned Mission Beach Wave House flowboarder Eric Silverman first place in the men’s expert strapped event at the International FlowRiding League of the World Championships in Singapore.
Flowboarders fly high in Singapore competition BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
A team of four Mission Beach Wave House flowboarders took to Singapore for an international competition and returned with a few winners, including 16-year-old Point Loma High School junior Eric Silverman, who took first place in the men’s singles strapless event, and Heather Savant, winning first in the overall women’s singles events. Winners of the hybrid water sport brought home cash and prizes from the event’s schwag sponsor, Billabong.
Flowboarding requires riders take a small surfboard-like flowboard and surf an artificial barrel or flat wave. Team South Africa took first place overall at the first annual International FlowRiding League of the World (FLOW) Championships. But Wave House Mission Beach, representing the U.S., returned home proud, taking second place out of four international teams, including one wild card team. Teams represented countries of SEE FLY, Page 19

the four Wave House locations throughout the world including South Africa, Chile, the U.S., and Singapore. Flowboarders, fans and families gathered to celebrate the official grand opening of Wave House Sentosa, in Singapore, Oct. 16-18 for the event. But it was Silverman who stood out as one of the youngest competing flowboarders and surprised many by taking first place in the men’s expert strapped competition and second place in strapless. Strapped events require the board be strapped to the flowboarder’s feet. Strapless boards allow for bigger more flamboyant tricks, Silverman said. “It felt awesome when I went into the contest because I thought I was going to get sixth or seventh place … I didn’t think I’d make top five, so I was really surprised because everyone has been riding for a lot longer than me,” Silverman said. He has only been flowboarding since June of last year and has been “hooked on it since” while some of his teammates have been flowboarding for years, he said. Silverman even outscored teammate Greg Lazarus at the Singapore event. Lazarus beat Silverman during qualifier rounds at the Wave House in Mission Beach in August. But at least one person wasn’t surprised with Silverman’s performance in Singapore. “We were very excited for him to do so well,” said Bob Puetz, vice president of brand management for Wave House. “But we had expectations because we know how good he is.” Silverman joined Lazarus, Tyler Daneck and Kristen Barney to round out the U.S. team with Savant joining the wild card team, Puetz said. The teams competed for cumulative points tallied from four expert events including the strapped, strapless, men’s dropknee bodyboarding, and men’s prone boadyboarding. Women’s expert events included strapped and strapless events. The team from Singapore competed in a separate competition because the artificial wave technology developed by Waveloch is new to Singapore so riders competed as amateurs, Puetz said. Developed by Tom Lochtefeld of San Diego, the first Wave House opened in Durban, South Africa and housed the first WaveRider FlowBarrel technology, Puetz said. The Mission Beach Wave House in San Diego opened in 2005 with Santiago, Chile and now Singapore following, he added. Though the patented wave machines can be found all over the world, only franchised Wave Houses have the barrel-making wave machine. Puetz said the Wave House organization plans to open a new Wave House every year with the next one planned for Zaragoza, Spain. ■ Other expert teams that competed represented the four Wave Houses located all over the world including: 1. Durban, South Africa 2. Mission Beach, San Diego, USA 3. Santiago, Chile 4. Sentosa, Singapore 5. Wild card team (with Heather Savant of USA)

• Don’t over-water your plant, or allow it to sit in a pot in standing water • Don’t expose your plant to chilling winds • Don’t fertilize your plant when it is in bloom Contrary to popular myth, Paul Ecke Ranch says the poinsettia is not poisonous. To bring your plants back into bloom the following season, place them outdoors in the spring or summer, when temperatures do not go below 55 degrees. In March or April, cut the plants back to approximately 8 inches. Begin to fertilize with an all-purpose, well-balanced fertilizer about every two to three weeks, and by May you should begin to see vigorous new growth. Continue feeding your plant through the fall. Photoperiodic in nature, poinsettia plants require long fall nights to set their buds. If you can give the plants complete darkness for 14 hours per night, beginning in October, and six to eight hours of bright sun during the day, your plants should bloom for the holiday season. ■
