MONEY TO BURN Anonymous donor pledges $259K to save fire pits from wrecking ball BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
An anonymous donor has stepped forward to help preserve the city’s beach fire pits, saving the San Diego tradition of sitting around a warm fire in the sand but also leaving questions about how to pay for other city services on the chopping block. City crews started removing the concrete fire pits Wednesday, Dec. 10, before an anonymous donor pledged about $259,500 through the San Diego Foundation to pay for the maintenance of 186 rings through the next year. Despite the stormy weather,

Lancers spike Knights for CIF gridiron crown BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
They battled all season and worked their way into the CIF Division V football championship last Saturday night at Southwestern College. But when all was said and done, a Bishop’s School football squad just didn’t have enough answers to stop Francis Parker High, which captured the crown with a 51-22 victory over the Knights. Francis Parker (12-1) QB Deon Randall (163 yards rushing, 132 yards passing) proved a thorn in the side of the Bishop’s (7-7) defense, rushing for three scores
22 unanswered points to make a game of it before Francis Parker pulled away in the second half. “We are very proud of our team,” Bishop’s head coach Mike David said afterward. “To go through the CIF playoffs and defeat two teams (Horizon, Christian) that had previously beat us is a credit to the great character MIKE DAVID of these players.” BISHOP’S COACH While Bishop’s finished the season with a loss, the Knights put up some big numbers during the and passing for four, en route to a fall.

UC reflects on perfect day that turned tragic BY SANDY LIPPE | VILLAGE NEWS
Monday, Dec. 8, was a Chamber of Commerce weather day for those who moved here from faraway places like Kansas or Korea, where December meant cold, snow and more cold. However, University City enjoyed unseasonal warmth from the sun that particular Monday. Weren’t locals lucky to live here? At 11:58 a.m., U.C.’s luck ran out when a hobbled Marine FA18 flew way too low and crashed into the home of a sweet young family named Yoon, a family with roots in Korea. The silence and sunshine were shattered, and so was the heart of University City. A huge black
cloud rose above Cather and Huggins streets. Below a young mother, darling baby girls ages 2 months and 15 months and their grandmother visiting from Korea were gone, victims of the jet crash. A young lieutenant ejected from the FA-18 and landed safely below the neighborhood homes. One eyewitness thought it must have been a stunt; it couldn’t possibly be real. Dong (Don) Yoon lost his whole family and his newly occupied rental home. “Why?” remains unanswered in spite of inches of news in the press and a couple of public forums where the Marine commandant, Col.

Attorney takes seal issue to federal court
A new coat

VILLAGE NEWS | PAUL HANSEN
A worker with Bay Cal Painting Inc. scrapes old paint off the Soledad Cross on Mount Soledad this past week (the flag is flying at half-staff in honor of the Marine FA-18 jet that crashed Dec. 8 in University City and killed four civilians in their home). The 29-foot cross, its base and surrounding wrought-iron fence will be refurbished and repainted for the first time in 40 years. The $40,000 job is being done pro bono by Bay Cal Painting, and many suppliers are donating needed materials. For information on how to honor a U.S. war veteran with a plaque at Mt.

La Jolla’s harbor seal colony heads into its annual pupping season with an uncertain future. But for the first time, attorneys are battling for the marine mammals inside federal court. “This hearing is whether the federal court can order the city to put the rope up,” said Brian Pease, attorney for the Animal Protection and Rescue League’s (APRL) SealWatch, regarding a Dec. 12 hearing in front of Judge William Hayes. “The state court cannot prevent the court from putting the rope up, but they didn’t take any position whether we could bring the action to federal court.” Pease said the city was behind him during the federal hearing, but Deputy City Attorney George Schaefer said officials would stand by the previous state decision. “As the city’s pleadings in the federal case note, the city is unable to put up a rope barrier at the Children’s Pool because of an order by a state court judge that the city may not do so,” Schaefer said. “The City Attorney’s Office has no further public comment at this time.” The harbor seals’ pupping season began Dec. 15 and runs through May 30, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). City crews installed a precautionary rope the past few years to protect pregnant seals and nursing pups, but as each year passes the rope becomes more controversial. “The first pups aren’t born until February. There may have already been a miscarriage, though. The seals on the beach are definitely in
their last trimester of pregnancy,” Pease said. Last year, Pease fought for the seal colony in federal court but exhausted his appeals with the city of San Diego. La Jolla’s seals are on the brink of being shooed away after a state judge ruled the city must recondition the surrounding area to its 1941 standards. “When I filed the APRL lawsuit then we ran into a jurisdictional issue,” Pease said, adding that he’s back in federal court focusing on installing a rope to protect pregnant seals but also an order blocking the city from dispersing seals. Months ago, Pease won a previous protection order for the colony, which expires in March. Locals say the controversy stems from an incident. A swim club protesting the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), which cited swimmers and divers interfering with seals, swam from La Jolla Cove to the Children’s Pool in an effort to reclaim their waters. While the group swam in, the seals flushed the beach, and officials cited swimmers. The federal MMPA preempts enforcement of state law, Pease said. La Jolla’s harbor seal colony is protected under the federal MMPA. Swimmer Valerie O’Sullivan was represented by attorney Paul Kennerson. In 2004, O’Sullivan sued the City of San Diego, alleging the seal colony prohibited swimming at the Children’s Pool. Judge William C. Pate found for O’Sullivan, ruling the city violated the 1931 Children’s Pool trust by closing the beach to the public. Pate said the city must reduce water bacteria levels to the Children’s Pool 1941 condition but
did not mention the seals. In December of last year, the City of San Diego lost the last in a string of state appeals, which triggered the court’s decision regarding the Children’s Pool, court documents stated. Kennerson began suing the city of San Diego for neglecting its duty. Kennerson said the city needed to dredge sand at the Children’s Pool and disperse the seals. While the city appealed Pate’s ruling, NOAA sent letters asking city staff and the mayor to install a rope protecting the seal colony during pupping season. The San Diego City Council passed resolutions in 2006 and 2007 requesting the city install a “guideline rope during the harbor seal pupping season,” court documents said. This year, Pease said he asked federal Judge William Hayes to allow a guideline rope while the harbor seal colony continues its official pupping season. “It was me, the city and NOAA,” Pease said. “NOAA was the one that requested the rope initially.” La Jolla Community Planning Association trustees voted to deny allowing the rope’s installation during their December meeting, but Pease said the group is merely an advisory body. “It’s going back to the hearing officer December 17,” Pease said. And Hayes ruled on submission during the Dec. 12 hearing. Hayes said he would issue an electronic decision regarding installation of a guideline rope. “Ninety-nine point nine percent of people respect the rope. A few people will still go down to the water,” Pease said. “It’s just a guideline. There are 80,000 people that visit that beach.” ■

Thanks to an anonymous donor, fire pits such as these along La Jolla Shores will not be removed due to lack of maintenance money.

there cleaning the [fire pits]. What this does is provide a funding source for that,” Sanders said. The two-man job requires the use of a front-loader and a dump truck and takes an average of 30 minutes per pit, according to a city statement. Each pit weighs nearly a ton and needs to be lifted so the ash and debris can be scooped, cleaned and taken to Fiesta Island. Park and Recreation Director Stacy LoMedico said the city has already started replacing the fire pits that were hauled away last week. The private donation raises the question of using private funds to pay for publicly owned city services, such as libraries and park maintenance, but whether it leads to more private dollars used for public services has not yet been determined, District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer said. “This is something we need to pursue from a city services [perspective], to explore avenues and possibilities,” Faulconer said. “Libraries are always one of the most used facilities.” Faulconer said he’s willing to look to private donations as a way to augment budgets needed to keep libraries and recreation centers open. The mayor proposed the temporary closure of about seven libraries and nine recreation centers in November. City council moved to keep the libraries, recreation centers and fire department services fully operating. This leaves the city with an estimated $53 million budget gap to tackle early next year. Sanders said private founda-
tion dollars already help support public services, such as police and fire departments, where the money helps pay for costs like a Fire and Rescue Department helicopter, he said. Jim Heaton, a La Jolla Shores Association board member, had concerns that removing the fire pits along the north end of La Jolla Shores would result in illegal dumping of coals on the sand. Although he said members of the La Jolla Shores Association had been working to develop a program to help fund the fire pits, the identity of the anonymous benefactor remains a mystery. The city had as many as 450 fire pits in the early 1990s but slowly reduced the number over the years because of complaints, city officials said. By 2004, the city had eliminated about 66 percent of the concrete fire pits, leaving 150 at city beaches and Mission Bay Park. Since then the city has replaced some pits, leaving about 186 to maintain.

apologized, grieved and tried to explain to the residents what happened, using words like mishap, engine failure, protocol. He mentioned the seamless integration and teamwork at the scene of the crash. Lt. Don Neubauer, the pilot in training, will be scarred for life knowing he caused the death of four people so full of life and hope, vulnerable babies, loving mother and daughter. And what about Don Yoon? How will the Marines make reparation to him? Money will not fill the void of constant pain of the greatest loss imaginable. Neighbors around Huggins Street and Cather Street have long-term healing and grieving also. At a Dec. 11 public meeting at U.C. High School, worried parents asked about the impact of toxins from the jet fuel on their children, the fear the children felt, how to deal with the healing for the kids. The “what if” audience members asked about the flight pattern proximity of the schools: University City High School, Curie School, Standley Middle School and Spreckels Elementary. What if the plane had been a few feet north and slammed into the high school? O’Connor kept repeating, “There will be a full and comprehensive investigation,” as though he were pouring healing water over the crowd. However, many people’s fear turned to angry assaults on their neighbors, the Marines. Will it be a whitewash? Why didn’t the pilot go to North Island? Why don’t the Marines move to the desert away from this urban area? Heated exchanges as well as cool heads with lengthy military experience emerged from the audience. Rev. Daniel Shin, family pastor for Yoon, acknowledged how much grace Yoon showed toward the pilot and the Marines. Shin also acknowledged the pain and darkness that will go deeper into Yoon’s psyche before he gets better. Mayor Jerry Sanders thanked the crisis intervention team, the police and fire department’s extraordinary work. Sanders said there would be

Both praised Capt. Shelley Zimmerman, commanding officer of Northern Division. More than 170 personnel were involved in the initial phase. Three to five houses suffered damage and two houses were destroyed. Marine fire personnel cut through a locked gate and came across Miramar Nursery right onto Governor Drive. One U.C. resident said; “Our community has a scar.” He wondered why there wasn’t a stand-down with a review of safety procedures with no flying out of Miramar on the day after the crash. O’Connor replied: “There was a stand-down of the squadron involved, but other pilots flew over U.C. out of Miramar.” Retired Adm. Pete Heckman reminded the audience that “in 1951 Miramar was so far out of town that no one went there.” Homes and schools and businesses were built around Miramar. Miramar wasn’t built around them.

My thoughts go out to those four human beings who perished, but also to Dong, the lone survivor of his family. What a loss! And for what? I think we have to re-evaluate the impact of the military in our lives and here in San Diego. They are too powerful. As a society we have to become more inclined towards peace, not destruction. Imagine what we could do with the dollars spent on the crashed aircraft; how many schools could be maintained, how many firefighters, paramedics or police officers we could finance! “My true heroes in this story are the firefighters. As long as I live I will never forget them. I’m glad to see all these young Marines here because I know that one of them here is one of them less in harm’s way. Now that a fence is up around the perimeter of the crash site, we can bring back our boys to their home. “Of course nothing will ever be the same again.

NEWS Survival tips as the new kid on the block When first coming into an already formed group, you will be met with certain challenges that need to be understood and dealt with. Whether you are joining a family, school, business or other organization, as a new person you must learn the rules of behavior (learning the ropes), survive the probation period (paying your dues) and finally become one of the group (pass muster and earn your stripes). What many new employees do not realize is that there is a strong likelihood that they will be assigned the jobs no one else wants to do. Newcomers are often stuck with the least interesting or rewarding jobs, the worst shifts, the most unpleasant clients or customers, the oldest cash registers, the poorly maintained trucks. They are asked to get coffee for others and are assigned the boring and menial tasks. This is known as paying your dues. In other words, you are the person with the lowest status and you are on probation. Time itself can count toward acceptance as a member, although the wait can make you feel like you are “doing time.” You must spend an unspecified amount of time in any group doing the less interesting jobs, deferring to the senior members of the group and generally be willing to be the “low man on the totem pole.” This is true not only of the workplace but also wherever groups gather. People often ask me whether there are cliques in the retirement community where we now live. Yes, there are some people who like to spend time together and meet for meals on a regular basis, and there is a men’s group
at breakfast, but these and other less cohesive groups can be infiltrated by newcomers. No one is ever refused a seat at a table. Being friendly, helpful, available and entertaining all help with acceptance into a group. And what about within families — how is the latest in-law perceived and accepted? They must often find out the unwritten rules of behavior through trial and error and — not knowing the family history — are often relegated to the fringes of conversations. Over time, they usually make their way into the inner circle by complying with the expectations of behavior. Even U.S. Supreme Court justices are not immune. An article in the New York Times Magazine reported Supreme Court Associate Justice Blackmun’s experience during his early years on the Court: “His lowly seniority, which garnered him assignments writing opinions in tax cases and other mundane fare, did not raise his profile.” Immigrants to this country experience this low status. It is always the groups recently arrived who perform the more undesirable jobs at the lowest end of the pay scales. In the history of America, each immigrant wave has had its turn. The best way to handle being assigned undesirable duties is to understand how common the practice is and that no one means

Ask Aubrey
concerned about Q. I’m President-Elect Obama’s promise to raise income taxes. Any suggestions? American households had A. better start preparing for the prospect of higher tax rates in the years ahead. Under the new administration, Presidentelect Obama wishes to reduce the federal deficit by raising the tax rate for single households with incomes over $200,000 and for families with incomes over $250,000, in addition to further increases in capital gain and dividend income taxes. (source: www.barackobama.com/taxes)
Given these expectations, it would be wise to examine the
potential impact of higher rates on your investment portfolios and retirement strategies. One such way may be to convert some retirement assets from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and pay some taxes upfront now rather than later, thereby avoiding potential higher tax rates down the road. While all earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis in a Traditional IRA such that taxes will be paid when it comes time for qualified withdrawals during retirement; the Roth IRA may be more efficient since qualified withdrawals from earnings during retirement are tax free. (source: www.irs.gov) It is important to review these and other tax planning strategies with the advice of your tax professional in order to understand their suitability and to prepare for the coming years of tax increases. At Financial Designs, we provide comprehensive planning that can help you assess how decisions related to tax matters will impact your overall financial plan. As always, let us know if we can be of assistance.

it to be punishment for the individual. In other words, accept the tasks as part of the price of being a new employee and do them gracefully. Undesirable assignments or menial work can cause new people to leave a job. I interviewed people about their first days and weeks at work and found that approximately 10 percent of my sample of more than 1,000 people had quit before they could be integrated into the work group. Many said that had they known at the time that their unpleasant experiences were just part of the organization’s culture and not meant to single them out, they would not have left. Membership is an issue of everyday life. We like to feel “in,” but then by implication some people must be “out.” The more exclusive the group, the better the members feel about being a part of it and the more difficult it is for a newcomer to be included. People who are already working together have formed special bonds and don’t want the status quo changed by a stranger’s intrusion. Those feelings are only strengthened if that stranger is of a different gender, race, social class, education or age. Some of the ways I have found that people gained membership were (1) finding something in common with another member, such as a shared interest or having an acquaintance in common; (2) doing favors; (3) accepting the probation with good nature; (4) being available and caring; and (5) not moving in too quickly with suggestions. Remember that membership is not a right but a privilege which must be earned. ■

GUEST EDITORIAL
Rady identifies top 10 holiday hazards for kids Trauma experts at Rady Children’s Hospital remind parents this holiday season of potential hazards for children. The following are the top 10 hazards identified by trauma experts: • Potpourri petals and pods (Children are attracted to the fragrant scent and can try to eat the ingredients. Poses a choking hazard.) • Candles (Many times lit candles are placed on decorative runners during the holidays. Children can pull the runner and be burned by the hot wax or, worse, start a fire.) • Alcohol (Even though it tastes bad, children will drink it. Can cause poisoning.) • Cleaning supplies (Kids can get under the sink and find toxic cleaners that look like apple juice and sports drinks.) • Vitamins and medications (Children’s vitamins are often colorful and taste like candy. Too much of a good thing can be dangerous.) • Purses and handbags
(Visitors, like grandma, can leave their purse open to curious kids who might find her heart medication.) • Tiny toys (Despite warnings and advisories, some toy makers still manufacture toys with tiny parts that can cause a child to choke.) • Tree ornaments (The shiny objects attract attention from little ones. The ornaments can break and cut a child, or a child can choke on them.) • Small batteries (Another choking hazard. Batteries for presents, like watches, are often under the tree.) • Stuffed animal parts (Many times the plastic eyes or nose of a stuffed animal can pop off, posing a choking hazard.) A toilet paper roll can be your best asset to prevent a child from choking. If the item fits through the hole, it’s small enough to choke a child. — Provided as a public service announcement by Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. ■

“Exquisite food and happening place” Eleanor Widmer Top 100 Best Thai Restaurants in the U.S.
One could describe Kitima as unique, extraordinary and superb, and still fall short of describing it properly. Located in San Diego’s artistic Hillcest area and also overlooking the water in La Jolla, Kitima takes pride in serving authentic Thai cuisine using only fresh and natural ingredients. The menu features an impressive array of organic vegetarian, seafood, poultry and pork entrees. Several house specialties , such as the Evil Prince (fresh prawns steeped in red curry sauce), sets the standard by which all Thai cuisine should be judged. The desserts are homemade, including the wildly popular coconut ice cream. The dinning room, design b owner/artchitect/chef Troy Bushykanist, features a beautiful blend of Asian sculptures and colorful wall murals, giving it a refreshingly relaxed feel. The service (led by Troy and his wife Kitima) is excellent, and guests immediately feel at home in the intimate and romantic atmosphere.

In and about the Village
Ba-ba-baBarbaras and Classic party One particular party was definitely a place where everybody knew your name. Reason? Barbaras were the only ones invited. For the past five years, the unique event was held at various “Barbara” homes, but this year instead Barbarella was the venue. Still the same was the price of admission: a pair of athletic shoes in teenager sizes, for the kids who frequent Becky’s House, Father Joe’s and Monarch School. Most importantly, only Barbaras need attend — all others don’t bother to show up. Talk about exclusivity! A grand opening for the expansion of the Classic Residence by Hyatt — several years and $147 million later — was the excuse for yet another grand old party, complete with valet parking, cocktails and oceans of marvelous food plus lots of familiar faces. La Jollans of a certain age have formed a new community within the walls of this high-rise, where virtually everything you can think of is taken care of, from soup to nuts, and the soup is terrific. Seek and ye shall find or ask and you will get — those are the mottos here. No request is too small and the good folks who run this resort await your command. BARBARAS 1. A bevy of Barbaras. 2.

INSIDE LA JOLLA R E FLECTION S
Christmas shopping in La Jolla 50 years ago BY CAROL OLTEN
There were great imported toys from The Prince and The Pauper. You could surprise mom on Christmas morning with a pair of Peruvian Puffies fuzzy bedroom slippers from Stevenson’s Department Store for $7.95. For dad there was always the proverbial silk tie for $1.50 from R.C. Watts, leaders in men’s and ladies apparel on Girard — or boxer shorts for $1.25 or a Pendleton wool robe, more expensively priced at $25. This was Christmas shopping in La Jolla 50 years ago. The year, of course, was 1958 — a time when shoppers adorned themselves in attire like poodle skirts and their houses with the latest in space-age, mass-produced products: color TVs in giant wood cabinets, electric toasters and mixers, modern chrome dinette sets, boomerang tables and sofas that looked like they belonged in flying saucers. The latest in luxuries for Christmas 1958 included Oldsmobiles with not only fantastic tail fins but rocket engines, and electronic dishwashers with the everpopular “push button” controls. Christmas dinner desserts were apt to include not only the traditional pumpkin pie available from Arnold’s Fine Foods in La Jolla for 49 cents, but the latest concoctions having to do with Jell-O and Betty Crocker cake mix. Henry’s Meats in La Jolla Shores advertised “world famous Mizpah Rancho turkeys.” Safeway had fresh oysters for 55 cents a jar.

Santa Claus and his helpers ride in the vintage “Old Black Goose” car to finish up the Dec. 7 La Jolla Christmas Parade.
La Jolla celebrated Christmas 50 years ago in the typical 1950s mood of great prosperity and good times. There was an outdoor community yule sing at the corner of Wall and Girard. The La Jolla 20-30 Club sponsored Santa Claus visits to private homes. The Jewel Cotillion presented a Christmas party and dance at La Jolla Country Club, which engaged the crowd in the latest dance craze known as the Bunny Hop. Merchants in La Jolla entertained shoppers with holiday window displays and advertisements in the local newspaper
enticing buyers. Hamilton’s Appliances at 7865 Girard offered “Performance proved RCA Victor TVs” for $625. Stuard’s, a popular clothing store, also on Girard, featured a variety of menswear and, for ladies, “imported gloves with a holiday air of mink trim” for $12.95. Sanderson’s, another La Jolla landmark for women’s fashions at 7802 Girard, featured the latest in Erica high heels for $26.95 and velveteen pants for $17.95. Although many of the businesses that were landmarks of the commercial zone in the late 1950s no longer exist, a number are still in business. They include Meanley’s, Warwick’s, Adelaide’s and Burns Drugs. For Christmas 1958, Burns sold a 1pound box of Russell Stover chocolates for $1.35. Adelaide’s had the latest in trims and decorations for the yuletide, including “Italian Christmas lights.” Warwick’s suggested “gifts for the teens too old for dolls and too young for convertibles,” the items including portable typewriters and briefcases. Meanley’s gift list suggested Christmas shoppers enrich their new color television lives with items such as TV pillows – “$10 and up.” — “Reflections” is a monthly column written for the La Jolla Village News by the La Jolla Historical Society’s historian Carol Olten. The Society, dedicated to the preservation of La Jolla heritage, is located at 780 Prospect St. and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. ■

Make mine black-eyed, with music BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Here’s a fairy tale bound to please children, adults and music lovers. It’s the world premiere of Kirsten Childs and Andrew Chuckerman’s “The Princess and the Black-Eyed Pea,” conceived by Karole Foreman with lyrics by Foreman and Chuckerman and directed by Stafford (“Altar Boyz”) Arima. Musically and textually self-mocking and chock-a-block with grand performances, a sixpiece band and Todd L. Underwood’s lively, folk-tinged choreography, it continues through Dec. 21 at San Diego Repertory Theatre. The child in front of us was rapt, leaning forward in her seat throughout the show, which starts with the entry of African griots pushing trunks that roll like wheelbarrows. Eventually the entire 15-member company is onstage, indulging in a bit of a cappella singing redolent of Ladysmith Black Mombassa, dancing PHOTO BY KEN JACQUES and culminating in the rousing Princess Quelie (Sabrina Sloan) holds a giant legume in San Diego Rep’s new “Tell the Story,” which suggests that the primacy of the wellmusical, “The Princess and the Black-Eyed Pea.”

Brown) insists that his daughter, Princess Quelie (Sabrina Sloan) marry an adoring but boring suitor. Quelie, who has other ideas, takes off for the Prince-marrying and dance contests in a neighboring kingdom, followed by her orphaned and duplicitous cousin Hena (Jennifer Leigh Warren), who wants Prince Gallant (so-handsome Josh Tower) for herself so she can be featured in African People magazine. Eventually she falls for Gallant’s cousin Rolin, played by the one-named gospel singer Tonex, who was such a hit in “Dreamgirls” earlier this year. Most of Tonex’s songs lie disappointingly low in his voice (there’s one dynamite duet with Warren, “Get It”). However, he gets the show’s final number, “Partay,” in which he gets to show off the full range of his pipes, much to the audience’s excitement. Sylvia MacCalla, Angela Wild-
flower Polk and Angela Teek play unalike triplets, Quelie’s competitors, and get a super number titled “Ain’t Gonna Wait Around No More.” The Epilogue thrillingly returns us full circle to a cappella and the entire company singing “Do You Believe in Fairy Tales?” Additional vocal fireworks are provided by the big daddy kings, Brown and Broadway star Ken Prymus, and by Tony Award-winner Lillias White as Gallant’s overprotective mama, Queen Zauba. Her 11th hour “My Only Son” brings the audience to its goosebump knees and puts tears in mothers’ eyes as they recall letting go of their grown sons. Childs’ book revels in its own goofiness, one of its charms, but there are a few extraneous plot lines that might be cut, making for a tighter tale. As is, it’s an assured, enjoyable, impressive, exuberant evening of music and merry-making, not to mention good, old-fashioned romance times three.

WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
Lady cagers aim high to swish championships BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Scholastic girls basketball is always one of the stronger winter sports locally and this season should prove no different. Perennial power La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School under head coach Terri Bamford is coming off eight consecutive league and CIF championships, finishing as the Division IV state runner-up last winter. Despite the loss of Dominique Conners (University of San Diego), Janae Fulcher (Arizona State University) and Chelsea Burns (Utah State), the Lady Torreys are look-
ing to pick up right where the 276 squad left off last year. This year’s Lady Torreys roster includes five young Division I prospects. LJCD returns junior starting point guard Ariana Elegado, who is one of the top point guards in the state. Also returning is 6’4” Gillian Howard, a dominant force inside, and Chemayne Shipley, a multidimensional player with threepoint range and the ability to put the ball on the floor and score. The Lady Torreys also add two sensational freshmen in the 5’10” Hood “twin towers” who will make an immediate impact this season, according to Bamford. Newcomer
Kaylah Miller and sophomore Shayla Dinwiddie are deadly shooters from the outside, and junior Alexis Samuels returns as one of the team’s top defenders and rebounders. Finally, Bamford says to look for the junior returnees to use their valuable experience to lead the young team to contend for a ninth CIF title and a trip to the state championship. “We will look to run an up-tempo offense and hard-nosed full-court defense this year,” Bamford remarked. “This team has the ability to control the tempo of the game. Offensively, the Lady Torreys are multidimensional and
have the ability to shoot threes, dominate in the post and attack the basket.” At The Bishop’s School, head coach Marlon Wells and the Lady Knights finished 21-10 overall and 5-3 in Coastal League play last season. Bishop’s lost to LJCD in the CIF finals, then lost in the first round of the state playoffs to St. Mary’s. While Bishop’s lost Michelle Brunker (Louisiana Lafayette) to graduation, key seniors this season will be Inga Orekhova (6’3” guard), who Wells says is an outstanding three-point shooter, an elite high school major player and

arguably as good as anyone in the country; and Gizelle Studevent (5’ 11” shooting guard), who Wells feels is one of the best pure jumpshooters in the country and will head to Penn State next season. Juniors expected to make major contributions include 5’ 10” guard Elaina White, who Wells says is a very difficult player to guard because of her ability to shoot from the perimeter and her ability to go inside; and guard/forward Briana Martinez (5’10”), who Wells feels has an opportunity to be very good if she keeps on working hard every day in the gym. “Briana is an emerging talent in this class and has enormous potential and the skills to be a top-flight recruit,” Wells said. “I believe that we have a pretty good shot at winning league and CIF titles. Hopefully we can go deep into the state playoffs also. La Jolla Country Day School will always be a tough challenge for us. Mater Dei Catholic will also put up a good fight.” At La Jolla High School, the Lady Vikings under head coach Ty Eveleth went 9-16 a season ago, losing in the first round of the CIF playoffs to El Capitan. Some key players this season look to include senior Darcey Elliott, sophomore Valerie Nawahine and junior Natalia Cravens. “We will be a young team that will be very competitive in the strong Western League,” Eveleth noted. Finally, University City High is off to a 2-4 start for head coach James Greer, following action in the Coronado Classic and a recent loss to Horizon. ■

Year. Allen leads a group of 11 Torreys selected to the 2008 AllLeague Teams by the league’s coaches. Allen finished the 2008 season with 126 tackles, ranking him fourth in San Diego County (all divisions) and first in the Pacific League. A dual threat, Allen’s 1,138 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns also lead the Pacific League and rank him 21st in the county. LJCD’s Derek Hatfield was selected as the Pacific League’s first-team quarterback for the second consecutive year. Hatfield fin-
ished the season with 1,063 yards passing, six touchdowns and six interceptions. Hatfield also rushed for 641 yards and 15 touchdowns. LJCD defensive end Doug Rogers was selected to the league’s first team after leading San Diego County with 18 sacks. Torreys also selected as firstteam All-League were DT/DE Indie Lavarias, OT Junior Togiaso and kicker Zack Wolfenzon. Wolfenzon connected on 54-of57 PATs and hit six field goals. His 72 points ranks him as the league’s top kicker and fifth in San Diego County. Togiaso was the only sophomore selected to the first-team offense. ■

Bishop’s, La Jolla High girls soccer eye championships BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Bishop’s is set to play Coronado today, Dec. 18, before heading into winter break. At neighboring La Jolla High School, the Lady Vikings under head coach Kristin Jones finished 15-3-3 last season, returning 15 players who participated in last season’s CIF title game. According to Jones, sophomore Callan Parra and junior Brianna Chapman will direct the offense, while Alex Foster and Tess PlantThomas lead the defense. “Big things are expected this year,” Jones remarked. “With so much experience, we are hoping that leads us to the CIF title game once again.”
A pair of local girls soccer teams produced winning teams last year, and they hope that formula for success holds true this season. At The Bishop’s School, the Lady Knights under head coach Brian Quinn finished 17-4-1 a season ago and captured the Southern California Division III title along the way. Key players for Quinn this winter look to include Lindsey HolmanKelly, Stevie Griglak, Francis Harvey, Marje Lacombe and Kaylie Davidson. “Our early season schedule is one of the toughest in Bishop’s girls varsity soccer history — La Costa Canyon, Torrey Pines, Poway, Ran— Editor’s note: La Jolla Country cho Bernardo, Patrick Henry — who are all talented teams that I Day School did not respond to a feel will test the girls and prepare request for information on its them for league play,” Quinn com- team. ■ mented.

WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW
Boys soccer teams set lofty goals BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Several local scholastic boys soccer teams hope to net league or CIF championships this season. At La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School, the Torreys under head coach Jerry Fleischhacker went 22-3-4, 7-1 in the Coastal League (co-champs with Bishop’s, 20-1-1 against Division IV opponents) a season ago. LJCD reached the CIF semifinals, where it fell to Coronado 1-0 in double overtime. Key players this season look to include Zach Wolfenzon (All-CIF first team, 31 goals last year), Alex Poyhonen (All-CIF Division IV second team and All-Coastal South first team), Colin Young (All-Coastal South second team), Kees Thompson (12 goals and 17 assists during last three years), Alex Fleischhacker, Alistair Dobke, Philip Poyhonen, Lee Klitzner, Michael Bailet, Rodrigo Cuenca, Dillan DuBois, Mason Boxer-Capitano and Hunter Khaleghi, and newcomer Danny Rogers. “This is a skilled and experienced team,” Jerry Fleischhacker noted. “There is a lot of returning fire power, with well above 50 goals scored last year by players returning this year, led by Wolfenzon and Cuenca. The midfield returns three starters and should do a great job of play-making — but they are all small and will be challenged by big physical teams. A lot will depend on talented goalkeeper Michael Bailey, who will have to replace Kyle Reese, who was the defensive MVP in the San Diego High School All-Star game. We will also miss All-CIF players Adam Saven and Daren Blake, who also graduated.” In action over the last week, LJCD scored wins over High Tech High (7-3), Christian (4-0) and
Wolfenzon scored two goals and now needs only three more to reach the school record of 63, held by John Hillman. Ryan French also tallied twice in his first varsity appearance, while Cuenca had a stellar day with a goal and three assists. At The Bishop’s School, the Knights under head coach Malcolm Tovey finished 16-3-1 a season ago, co-champions of the Coastal League South. Bishop’s lost in the semifinals of the CIFs. This year’s team is young, with only three seniors suited to play. Bishop’s will look to captain and four-year starter Zach Ostrup to lead the way, along with Tyler Evans (sophomore), Tucker Hughes (sophomore), Kyle Jesters (sophomore), Stefano Vidali (junior) and goalkeeper Justin Peabody (junior). “This is most definitely a rebuilding year for a very young team,” Tovey noted. “However, with skill, speed and tenacity they have the potential to surprise anyone in a game.” Finally, La Jolla High finished 10-6-3 last season for head coach Dan Berthiaume. This year’s team will be led by senior defenders Joey Matibag and John Selzer, senior midfielder Ryan Becker, and junior forwards Alex Jaziri and Alan Ampudia. “So far we are off to a rocky start, yet we have a decent record of 2-2-2 considering the strength of the teams we have played,” Berthiaume commented. “Our team is the strongest it has been in years, and we are definitely a top contender to win Western League and potentially CIF for Division III. We have a lot of talent at every position. It is just a matter of how well all that talent meshes together as a team.”
West Shores (7-0). Although Alex Poyhonen scored on a nice header, LJCDS had to come from behind in the second half against the surprisingly strong High Tech High eleven. Zach Wolfenzon made a 50-yard run, beating three players and finishing with a powerful shot to tie the game. Kees Thompson scored the winner of a great setup by Colin Young. Lee Klitzner
It’s just a question of how well all that tlent meshes together as a team. DAN BERTHIAUME LJHS COACH
and Dillan DuBois played very good games on defense, and Hunter Khaleghi had a nice day in the midfield. In the victory over Christian, which was the opening game of the Parker Small Schools Tournament, Wolfenzon scored twice, Mason Boxer-Capitano earned a goal and an assist, Thompson added a goal and Alex Fleischhacker an assist. Will Craycroft and Bailey shared the Torreys’ first shutout of the year. In the win over West Shores, the effort was led by Craycroft, who made several fine saves in the second half. Michael Bailey shared the shutout. LJCDS defenders Alex and Philip Poyhonen, Danny and Doug Rogers and Lee Klitzner also played well, as the Torreys posted their sixth straight shutout over the last two years in this tournament.

La Jollan goes undercover for TV’s ‘Secret Millionaire’ BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
A La Jolla man went from riches to rags for charity in Fox TV’s new reality series, “Secret Millionaire,” airing this evening, Dec. 18 at 8 p.m. Molly Haerr said her son Greg, 50, was always gifted. While attending La Jolla’s schools, such as Muirlands Middle School, he gravitated toward encyclopedias instead of fiction, she said. Greg graduated from La Jolla High School and then the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) when the university had only one computer, according to his mother. But her eldest son — of seven — certainly used that lone computer that sat inside UCSD’s basement, Molly said. Greg Haerr launched a software La Jolla’s Greg Haerr (left), seen here with his brother Paul, is the star of company called Century Software tonight’s episode of Fox TV’s “Secret Millionaire” reality series.

Bird Rock Surf Shop finds a bigger perch BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
Despite a weak economic climate, two local boys may prove a success by using a classic business model: building on what you know, finding a niche and catering to neighbors in a friendly way. Brothers Matt and Ben Murphy are doing just that. The duo grew up relatively nearby, in Escondido, and then moved to San Luis Obispo until graduating from Cal Poly with business degrees. Like most born-and-bred San Diego boys, the Murphys surfed. Surfers know where the waves break. Where the breaks are, surfers will flock. And therein lie opportunities for the businessman who knows the waveriders’ needs. “We recognized a need for a surf shop,” Matt Murphy said. “There’s
such a surf community but no shop around.” So the brothers opened a small shop more than one year ago at 5544 La Jolla Blvd. La Jolla is home to many great surfing legends and current surfing stars. The Murphys said the closest shops to Bird Rock’s surfers are located in Pacific Beach to the south and on Pearl Street in La Jolla to the north. So they searched for a year until they found the small Bird Rock location. The Murphys’ business sense paid off. The boutique-style, friendly shop melded well with the surrounding Bird Rock neighborhood and the surfing community. The brothers were so successful they said they needed more space. “We outgrew the other shop,” SEE PERCH, Page B·2

Ben Murphy said. So about one month ago, they moved to a larger location one block up, at 5605 La Jolla Blvd. “Now we have parking in back,” Ben Murphy said. In Bird Rock, parking is a commodity. Ben Murphy said cars drove by their previous location without stopping because they had fewer parking spaces. The Murphys have taken their surf shop, neighborhood-style atmosphere, creating an epicenter of Bird Rock’s youth scene. “Everything is for sale here,” Ben Murphy said. The walls are covered with art and photography from local artists. On entering Bird Rock Surf, customers can either watch the Murphys’ golden retriever or peer through a window while Matt shapes custom boards. The Murphys sell and “set up” almost anything involving water at Bird Rock Surf Shop, from
kayaks and kayak tours to rash guards and surf lessons, they said. The new store also carries many clothing lines. Ben Murphy said they are expecting a shipment next week, deepening their inventory and adding more youth lines. The larger store continues to carry a variety of surfboards, used boards and custom boards as well, Matt Murphy said. “We have reasonable prices,” Ben Murphy said. “Our customs start at $415. Also with the custom, we have a shaping bay so someone can watch their board being shaped.” Bird Rock Surf Shop repairs surfboards as well. “We just want a good, inviting feeling here,” Ben Murphy said. For holiday shoppers, the Murphy brothers will throw a holiday party Friday, Dec. 19, starting at 5 p.m., hosting refreshments and offering a discount on merchandise purchased that evening.

includes not just what’s new to the experts in a field but what’s new to me. I am constantly wowed by the ocean’s diverse life and the myriad ways species cope with their adverse world in hopes of coming out of the battle victorious. Over time, I fit together bits and pieces of my ongoing observations as a way to personalize for myself how sea lifeforms connect to each other, to their environment, to the terrestrial world and to me. It is a continuing process wherein insights often spring to mind long after I’m out of the water. For example, I’m amazed how a garibaldi fish builds and grooms a nest; it is not altogether unlike the nest building of birds, demonstrating that on land or in the sea, nature has similarly addressed and adapted to the need of a species to signal a nest site to the appropriate partner. I marvel at the way an octopus matches color and texture to rock, sand or whatever it alights on, much as a chameleon mimics its background. The black-eyed goby fish, a loner virtually all the time, briefly pairs up with a mate for reproductive purposes, then each goes its own way. The solitary panda can relate. And a school of fish, like a herd or flock of animals on land, similarly bands

We need a sea change in people’s thinking, understanding and assumptions about our blue marble world. While interest and concern about the value of nature and the environment in general has become a partisan issue, no one need be ashamed of being curious and supportive of nature.

Humans, only one link in the mysterious web of life, have a moral obligation to repair and preserve the ocean environment, not only for our survival but because it adds much intrinsic interest and beauty to our lives.

‘Day the Earth Stood Still’ again BY JAMES COLT HARRISON | VILLAGE NEWS
What is more “Hollywood” than to remake a classic from 50 years ago and jazz it up? The reason Robert Wise’s small black-and-white 1951 film was a classic was its simplicity. Languidly sexual Patricia Neal played a devoted mother in the original, and British actor Michael Rennie played Klaatu, the alien from outer space. The special effects were rather quaint and rudimentary. The space ship was the popular “flying saucer” of the day. There were a few flashing lights to spook you. The budget? About $4.98. Rocket forward a half-century and we have Keanu Reeves, an alleged graduate of the Wooden Indian School of Acting, perfectly cast as the emotionless, humorless Klaatu. He arrives on Earth in what looks like a disco speedball, spinning and glowing with swirling lights. Now, that kind of arrival might make anybody dizzy and stupefied, which probably explains Reeves’ look of confusion and glazed-eyes comportment. This man has never smiled in any of his pictures, but that adds to his interpretation of an alien swathed in a skin-tight, sticky, Silly Putty-style space suit zooming at quadruple the speed of light through space. I hope he wasn’t flying economy, but that could explain his look of chronic constipation. Big studio 20th Century Fox (which made the original simple film) has decided to up the ante on the budget and probably mortgaged the sound stages to get this new version made. The honchos spared no money, no special effects and no talent, assembling a fine cast and crew to pull off this marvelous new film. Klaatu arrives, is captured by the government to study and is helped by the beautiful astrobiologist Dr. Helen Benson (Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly) and her stepson Jacob (Jaden Smith). The secretary of defense (a marvelous Kathy Bates) is at first wary of the alien and wants to control him. But she wavers as she learns his reason for coming to Earth. You see, he’s here to save the Earth, but he wants to save it from humans. His original intention was to wipe out all humans and save the animals, plants and protozoas. Human beings have polluted the world and don’t deserve to survive. But do they? Keanu/Klaatu analyzes the situation and sees the good

side of people through his observation of Connelly and her loving relationship with Jacob. Alas, is it too late after the process of destruction is begun by the Mother Ship? Amazingly, the sentiments expressed in the Wise film in 1951 seem to apply to today’s concerns. “In re-imagining this picture, we had an opportunity to capture a real kind of angst that people are living with today, a very present concern that the way we are living may have disastrous consequences for the planet,” Reeves said. “I feel this movie is responding to those anxieties. It’s holding a mirror up to our relationship with nature and asking us to look at our impact on the planet, for the survival of our species and others.” This can truly be called the first “green” movie! Director Scott Derrickson (“The Exorcism of Emily Rose”) worked closely with production designer David Brisbin (“Drugstore Cowboy,” “My Own Private Idaho”) and director of photography David Tattersall (“Star Wars” trilogy, “Lara Croft”) to design the look of the film. “We wanted to make a film that had a stylish look and a distinctive quality in terms of color, lighting and set design, but we didn’t want to push the boundaries of reality too far,” Derrickson said. “The film is expressionistic and stylish, but we tried to root it in reality so that you don’t feel as though you are watching a comic book movie or graphic novel movie.” Naturally, a science fiction film usually relies on computer-gen-
erated special effects. However, Derrickson wanted to have the CGI effects support, and not overwhelm, the narrative. “I don’t think that modern audiences are craving more in terms of CGI effects; they’re craving something that feels real and sparks their imagination,” he said. The film is not one of those scary science fiction monster movies. It is an intelligent look at what might happen if another civilization came to the Earth and how we might react. Will we be welcoming and inquisitive or will we resort to our warlike tendencies, as is shown in the movie? We have a chance; will we take it? 20th Century Fox. ■

and produce larger sizes of 12-, 14- and 16-inch wreaths. They joined the San Diego Succulent Club and redesigned their backyard haven. “It’s therapeutic. It grounds me,” Prescott said of digging in the soil. “It’s like making a work of art and pasting in the right color of plant.” The living wreaths are not the typical holiday wreath — although they can be hung on the door, they prefer to be misted daily and lie flat as a centerpiece on the table. Another big difference between a succulent living wreath and the usual holiday
wreath is that the succulents are bedded in dirt and moss, so they are constantly growing and changing, Prescott said. Creating the wreaths is a way for Prescott and McFarland to unwind after busy workdays. Prescott has been the funeral director in Ocean Beach since January and has been in the funeral business for five years. In a tense world of helping others cope with grief and loss, Prescott has the same resilient and friendly attitude as the succulents he nurtures. The time spent in the garden is “like a reading a book,” he said. “Worries disappear and nothing can interfere.” He also balances his days as an avid motorcyclist, camper, rock climber and former off-road bicy-
cle racer. Like the active outdoor hobbies he pursues, gardening and the wreath-making process become effortless, he said, “like painting or building a model. You see it coming into its true image and time stands still.” Unlike evergreens, succulent wreaths come in a range of colors, naturally, without bulbs and ornaments and tinsel. The succulents that Prescott uses range in color from orange and red to blue and green, and the textures have “lots of character,” he said. The magic of the living wreath is that it can be taken apart and replanted, he said. “It’s recyclable and ever-changing.” For further information, call (619) 223-8100 or visit www.dignitymemorial.com. ■
