Filmmakers chip in to help father, husband of UC crash victims BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
One University City man’s tragedy touched film producers Robert Lenney and Ryan Humphries, so the duo will begin their own donation process starting tonight at 7:30 p.m., during the premiere of their latest film, “Sounds.” UC resident Dong Yon Yoon lost his family Monday, Dec. 8, when a military pilot ejected from an F/A-18 Hornet aircraft that developed engine trouble on its way to MCAS Miramar. The plane crashed into Yoon’s UC home, killing his wife, two daughters and motherin-law. Military officials called the accident involving their “workhorse” aircraft rare — but it changed the direction of Yoon’s life. Now two movie producers say they want to aid the South Korean immigrant, telling moviegoers they will donate part of proceeds from their

Painter donates a new coat to Soledad Memorial BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
One of the area’s best-known monuments is getting a new look thanks to a painting company based here in California. The Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Cross in La Jolla has been undergoing a freshening up and is set to be on display with its new look this week. The 29-foot Mt. Soledad cross was erected in 1952 as a tribute to Korean War Veterans and has been severely weatherbeaten by wind, sun and rain over the past 40 years. While this refurbishing would often cost thousands of dollars, the good news for those involved with the cross is that the price tag for the work is $0. The cross’ surrounding base and wrought-iron fence are being completely repaired and brightened with top-quality products as a pro bono project of Bay Cal Painting Inc., which has offices in Oceanside, San Francisco and Fresno. Bay Cal Painting selects one community project a year that their staff donates time and materials for complete repair. Among their past projects include the Hillcrest sign, Mission San Juan Capistrano and San Luis Rey and the famous Hollywood sign. In August 2006, as members of the Bay Cal Painting Company, including principals and brothers David and Jim Codde, were traveling along Interstate 5, they heard on the radio that President Bush had announced the transfer of the Mt. Soledad Memorial to the feder-
al government. Company principals decided that they wished to consider that project for their next pro bono effort, according to Jim Codde. “We immediately made an about-face to head to the mountaintop and assess the project,” Codde said. “Shortly thereafter we sent a proposal to the city of San Diego offering our service.” That proposal was obtained by the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association, the founders of the memorial, which now has the authority to complete and maintain the memorial through a memo of understanding with U.S. Navy Region Southwest, which manages and oversees the memorial site for the Federal Government. David Codde noted that it is particularly rewarding to restore the cross that was originally constructed to honor Korean War veterans because his father, Chandon William Codde, now deceased, was a Navy veteran who served during the Korean War. The association installed 500 feet of guardrails, including vertical railings that go all the way to the cross platform, and horizontal guard railings along the concentric walls where black granite plaques including an image of the veteran have been installed to honor U.S. veterans of all wars, living and deceased, from the Civil War up to current conflicts in the Middle East. Bay Cal staff used a 60-foot boom to reach the top of the 29foot cross, which sits upon a 12foot platform, surrounded by a

wrought-iron fence. Bay Cal worked with suppliers to donate materials, including Frazee Paint, PCI Coatings, which donated a two-part black polyurethane metal paint for the wrought-iron fence, and Desert Brand Paint, which supplied the materials for the steps at the base of the cross, to be painted forest green. After-Hours Welding of San Marcos also contributed its time for the welding work. While this round of work is finished, Bay Cal Painting not only agreed to the painting project, it also offered to maintain the paint
for the next 20 years, just as it did with the Hollywood sign. Ed Ward, trustee president and COO of the association, noted that the association was extremely grateful to Bay Cal Painting and their support groups from Frazee Paint and After Hours Welding for the Painting, Restoration and Repair work they are all doing. “Our association members have been working for some time to raise the funding needed to restore and complete this unique and world-class memorial,” Ward said. “With this work donated, we are now able to move forward with
more restoration and the installation of addition guardrails for the safety of our visitors. The painting and repairs donated by Bay Cal Painting is one of the most visible acts of generosity we have recently received.” Ward noted that the association members, and the veterans community in general, are greatly encouraged to see the progress being made toward the restoration and completion of this nationally recognized veteran’s memorial. “With these immediate repairs, SEE SOLEDAD, Page 6

Killer sent to death row for UC man’s murder BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS
The convicted killer who shot to death a University City mortgage broker and an Ocean Beach liquor store clerk was ordered Monday to death row by a judge who followed the jury's recommendation of the death penalty. San Diego Superior Court Judge Michael Wellington signed a death order for Tecumseh Colbert, 25, during a sentencing for the 2004 slayings of Robert McCamey, 32, and Richard
Hammes, 45. Wellington reminded the court that death penalty cases are given an automatic appeal before the California Supreme Court. “It is the judgment and sentence of this court that Tecumseh Colbert shall be put to death,” Wellington said during his ruling. McCamey, of University City, was shot to death on Oct. 29, 2004. His brother LaBron McCamey traveled from Alabama to attend the sentencing.

“I ask the court that whatever is done with this young man here that he never gets the opportunity to do this to anyone else,” LaBron McCamey said tearfully. “Mr. Colbert, find God in your life ... because as of right now, that's all you got left,” LaBron told Colbert in court. Hammes was a homeless man who was filling in as a clerk at the Prime Market Liquor store on Voltaire Street when he was confronted by Colbert, who was wearing a Halloween mask, on Nov. 10, 2004. Hammes didn't give Colbert any money and instead walked toward him before being shot in the chest. The store's security camera recorded the sound of the shot but not the actual shooting itself. Colbert walked backward out of the store after shooting Hammes and fled. Colbert, who is from the North Bay Terraces area, blamed the “broken” juvenile justice system for helping him become a criminal. “I was just stuck in a world of my own and I was mentally dead,” said Colbert, who was dressed in a green jail uniform. The judge fined Colbert $10,000, and ordered him to pay $7,483 in restitution to the McCamey family. Wellington noted that Colbert has been in jail since his arrest four years ago, but is not enti-

UCSD researcher looks at how lunar dust will affect the next moon voyage BY BRETT HANAVAN | VILLAGE NEWS
University of California, San Diego (UCSD) researcher Dr. Kim Prisk, Ph.D., is involved in studying the possible effects that lunar dust has on astronauts visiting the Earth’s moon. Astronauts’ good health may depend on the amount of exposure to the lunar particles. To prepare for another journey back to our moon (slated before 2020), researchers within the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI), including Prisk, are evaluating how moon dust is deposited in the lungs in reduced gravity. From this they hope to better understand possible long-term negative effects on the health of the astronauts. Findings could influence the design of lunar bases. Secondly, findings could contribute to better healthcare here on Earth. An example is in improved delivery of aerosol medications to the lungs. Prisk, who has been working on spaceflight research at UCSD in some form since 1983 and is also involved with the NSBRI, said there are major questions that need to be answered as we approach sending other humans to the moon. How do we know that our own moon’s dust has such an adverse effect on humans? “We infer that,” Prisk said. “None of the exposures, at most three days, from the Apollo missions showed adverse effects, but compared to long stays the exposures were minimal. However, terrestrial exposures to similar dust have
been shown to be very hazardous.” Basically, researchers are asking these questions: How much dust particles go into the lung? Where do they go and how long do they stay? Just how nasty is this stuff? Prisk is an adjunct professor in the Department of Medicine at UCSD. During the Apollo missions to the moon in the late 1960s and ’70s, moon dust particles often clung to astronauts and equipment and were easily transported into the lunar lander following moonwalks. Astronauts even reported that build-up sometimes was so great they could smell the moon dust. There were no known illnesses due to moon dust exposure during that period, but Apollo flights lasted only a few days. Miraculously, the human body has clearance mechanisms to deal with this type of dust influx into the body. “Particles that deposit in the airways are moved by the muco-ciliary system so they are eventually swallowed and eliminated,” Prisk said. “Particles that deposit more peripherally in the alveoli are engulfed by alveolar macrophages and eventually removed, although they stay around a lot longer.” As for long-term effects, Prisk says that previous studies on Earth show that living in a dusty environment has negative health consequences in the long-term. “Things like asthma, chronic lung diseases, et cetera, and shortterm effects show evidence for increased risk of cardiac events and ultimately increased hospital admissions for respiratory com-
plaints,” he said. Lunar dust is a health concern because it has properties similar to that of fresh-fractured quartz and it is highly toxic. In the future, Prisk says that stays of up to six months are planned. Long-term lunar bases are in the works. During an upcoming proposed return, astronauts will be exposed to lunar dust for longer periods of time, including missions that could last months. Human lungs don’t respond as well to removing foreign matter like moon dust in low-gravity environments like the moon’s. “In the moon’s fractional gravity, particles remain suspended in the airways rather than settling out, increasing the chances of distribution deep in the lung, with the possible consequence that the particles will remain there for a long period of time,” Prisk said. Our lungs are highly sensitive organs mostly because of their large surface area. The lungs deliver oxygen molecules through a thin membrane directly to the blood. Health risks to astronauts increase as dust particles go deeper into the lungs. NASA (the National Aeronautical Space Administration) has a microgravity research aircraft that it uses to conduct research in this area. The airplane is capable of providing short flights of reduced gravity and zero gravity during steep climbs and descents. During portions of reduced gravity flights, particles are injected into a mouthpiece that the study participants breathe in. Researchers
measure how the particles react and behave and how many actually end up inside the lung. Prisk said the research flights have been beneficial so far. “With the reduced-gravity flights, we’re improving the process of assessing environmental exposure to inhaled particles,” he said. Small to tiny particles are the most significant in terms of damage to the lung, with changes or fluctuations in gravity greatly influencing this effect. The next step, Prisk says, is to investigate the risks in more detail, then determine ways to limit exposure to the particles. The design of space suites for astronauts is a work in progress. “Probably more appropriate to ask is how will they change,” Prisk
said. “There is extensive work ongoing on new suits. They will likely be much more like hard suits used in diving.” From these conclusions and the push forward, researchers hope to be able to learn new ways to minimize risk to humans and to lunar equipment. As for benefits here on Earth, the research could give scientists a better understanding of how the lungs work. “If we learn how to target drugs to specific areas inside the lung, it will be possible to achieve optimal results with small quantities of drugs delivered to exactly the right place in the lung, and it will minimize side effects,” Prisk said.

film to aid the man. The men promised to donate $1 from each ticket sold and at least three companies pledged that they would match the donations, according to Lenney. “I came up with the idea when me and my wife were reading the paper,” Lenney said. “We lost two friends this year and two pets, so we understood the grieving process but to no extent to what Yoon was going through.” Staring at crash photos and rubble tugged at Lenney’s emotions, so he said he decided to donate money.
bachelor’s degree in business, majoring in management, from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He served in the U.S. Army, and then joined American Malleable Castings Company in Marion, Ohio, becoming CEO in 1969 and serving in that capacity until 1984. He also was CEO of Tennessee Castings Company in Dickson, Tenn., served as president of five foundry trade and technical societies and was awarded the Iron Castings Society Gold Medal. LaMarche and his wife Janet moved to La Jolla in 1985, joining Mail Boxes Etc. soon after, according to family. He served on the board until 1997. In 1986, he founded Integrated Marketing and Insurance Services with his son. LaMarche recently served as vice president of the International Federation of Corporate Directors. He was a member of La Jolla Country Club, La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club and The Golf Club in New Albany, Ohio. He enjoyed
golf, skiing, exercise, reading, travel, tennis and music. “Dan was a wonderful man who had the knack for sincerely being interested in what one had to say,” said Bill Eigner, partner with Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP. “He wanted to get things done, and he used his keen sense of humor and his fierce determination to accomplish great things for a lot of people. “Those of us who knew him are still in shock. There will be many who read Dan’s obituary who will be very surprised and saddened,” Eigner added. LaMarche is survived by his wife, Janet; two children, Dan III and Parks; two grandchildren, Calleigh and Coleton; and a sister, Ann, of Marion, Ohio. A memorial mass will take place Friday, Jan. 2, at 10 a.m. at Mary Star of the Sea. In lieu of flowers, the LaMarche family requests that donations be made in Dan’s name to the La Jolla Music Society.
“I contacted his church and asked if they accepted donations and they said yes.” Lenney and “Sounds” producer/director Ryan Humphries decided they could do more to aid Yoon if they donated money from their film sales. “I said I’d package something with the premiere. It was in three weeks of the accident,” Lenney said. “They were really excited.” Lenney said he and Humphries convinced three other companies to pledge money for every seat at the 410-seat theater. Lenney said he is also accepting donations made out to The Korean United Methodist Church (KUMC) — the Yoon’s church. “This is a wonderful idea and I
praise the Lord for you to contribute in this way,” said Kevin Lee, the church’s associate pastor, in a press release. Donations are still being accepted and can be send to the Korean United Methodist Church, 3520 Mount Acadia Blvd., San Diego, CA. 92111. “Sounds” premieres Tuesday, Dec. 30, at 7:30 p.m., at the 2008 Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Festival, Fine Arts Theater, 8556 Wilshire Blvd. For more information, visit www.bhh-dff.com. Lenney and Humphries said they will continue to collect donations after Tuesday’s screening and plan on posting contributors’ names on their website at www.soundsthemovie.com.

The bottom line at this point in the research is determining how to properly protect astronauts’ health when visiting the moon. “The amount of particles entering the lungs depends on how much effort is put into filtration and dust mitigation, which is the whole point of the studies: to decide what is required,” Prisk added. “But, particle concentration is in the 10s of thousands per centimeter cubed of air are not unreasonable to expect in some circumstances. Considering even a relatively shallow breath might be 500 cm3 and you breathe, say, 15 times per minute, the numbers are large. In the millions.” How can exposure to such potentially toxic dust be minimized in the long run? “It all comes down to how much effort needs to be put into dust removal,” Prisk said. “If hours have to be spent in decontamination, then that is a significant impact in a mission model that has lunar surface activities happening five days a week.” On the other hand, Prisk said, if a quick clean-down is possible and adequate, then that really helps and moves things along. “It depends on how toxic the dust is. This is under study currently by several NASA teams,” he said. “How long particles deposited in the lung in low-gravity stay there determines how much exposure astronauts can be exposed to. This is a new study of ours.” In the long run, lunar dust and its effects is just one consideration for future moon travel. Astronauts inevitably will be exposed to some lunar dust. The question is just how much.

PLNU solar project earns 2008 Orchid Award Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) was honored last week NOV. 10) with an Orchid Award for Sustainable Design. Each year, the San Diego Architectural Foundation hands out “orchids” and “onions” for what it views as the best and worst designs. This year’s orchid award is PLNU’s first. It was PLNU’s 310-kilowatt solar panel system from SPG Solar that earned the university the award. The system provides about 80 percent of peak energy for four major buildings, including a residence hall and the gymnasium, and helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly. University officials estimate more than 50 percent of the buildings’ annual electricity costs will be offset by clean solar power. PLNU was able to finance the system through a power purchase agreement provided by Solar Power Partners, Inc. (SPP). Under the agreement, SPP will own the solar system for 20 years and sell the clean energy generated by the system to PLNU at a cost below present utility rates. PLNU has no upfront capital costs for the system and enjoys fixed electricity rates for 20 years, according to university officials. The solar panel installation, which initiated partly from a student research project, is the latest step in a series of efforts to make the PLNU campus more sustainable, starting with the establishment of a comprehensive singlestream recycling and food composting program in 2003.

“It is just one of the factors to be considered and worked on. Putting someone on the moon for three days was very, very hard [Apollo],” Prisk said. “Putting a team there for six months makes that a great deal more difficult. But then, exploration is supposed to be difficult, right?” The research organization NSBRI is funded by NASA and acts

Well, I saw my first accident in one of the round-abouts on La Jolla Boulevard today. It was only a matter of time. I drive through them twice a day, to and from work. The plants and trees certainly look nice, but they are deadly. I drive a midsize 4-door car and I can barely see people at the crosswalks now that the bushes and trees are growing taller. It has also made it difficult to see some types of cars coming around the circle. Today, sure enough, some pedestrians started to cross without having pushed the button to light up the crosswalk. The one car ahead of me stopped suddenly just in time when she saw them. The car in front of me rearended her and I stopped in time. I could not back up because traffic behind me had already started to enter the circle and was late for work. Thankfully, the people in front of me were not hurt and the pedestrians were already on their way. None of us were going very fast, but I have nearly missed small cars, small people and children crossing several times. I’m used to looking very carefully because I drive through

“men” simply because they now have the same rights as men. The identical arguments apply. Calling both homosexual and heterosexual unions by the same designation, “marriages,” makes no more sense than calling all adults “men.” If “domestic partnership” is not a favored term, then let’s come up with a better one. But, I submit that calling these relationships “marriages” is not the proper answer.

TRIANGLE TALK Proposition S as in Santa for UC High Leslie Anderson, a University City resident and community angel, has spent the last several years looking at University City High School’s (UCHS) athletic fields in need of upgrades. Leslie’s two daughters matriculated through the local high school, but even after their UCHS graduations, Leslie continued with her goal of getting these 30-year-old fields in 21st-century condition. Leslie gathered around some talented U.C. residents, including Greg Zinser and John Hargrove and Jim Winter. She involved the former City Council President Scott Peters, and she also sent out an SOS to developers. “Jim Winter and Madeleine Baudoin from Scott Peters’ office were helpful from the city side of things. Jim always made sure that our project was included in the monthly meetings regarding joint use of the fields,” according to Anderson. She found a friend in Mike Price, the UCHS principal, and she also got lucky that in spite of our economic turndown, San Diegans passed Proposition S. “The best thing about this funding coming from Prop S is that the school now becomes the custodian of the track and football stadium. This move should help eliminate some of the angst about the stadium lights, because the hours of operation will be significantly less. The fields will still be available to the community but at the discretion of the school district and not the city,” Anderson added. Price answered some pointed questions about the athletic fields project as well as other projects that come under the umbrella of Proposition S. According to the principal, “The long-range facilities plan and a planning team consisting of teachers, administrators and central office staff participated in the development of the bond issue items for U.C. High. The fields’ portion of the bond for U.C. was built on the work of the Centurion Foundation and the office of former Councilman Scott Peters. The bond was a backup plan for community fund-raising for the fields’ renovation.” How would you spend $25 million at U.C. High? Besides upgrading the fields, the Proposition S funds of will improve health, safety and security issues and access for disabled students. “Our technological backbone is going to be strengthened with a full high-speed wireless Internet with sufficient bandwidth to handle instructional items well into the next decade,” Price reported. The heating and air conditioning systems also will be renovated. Since security is a major concern at schools, additional security cameras will be installed, while upgrades for existing cameras will occur. Leslie’s dream of a first-rate athletic fields and courts project will consume a major portion of the funding. The football field will see an artificial playing surface and an all-weather track surface, stadium lighting, handicap-access bleachers, a scoreboard and even enhancements to the snack bars. The upper fields will have some renovation in surfaces, safety and access, “although they will not be included to the extent that we have designed in the campus master plan,” according to Price. The Centurion Foundation, the City of San Diego and the North U.C. Planning Group will host a capital campaign in the future specifically designed to open

access to the upper fields to the community. Upper fields host soccer, baseball, field hockey and softball teams. Lacrosse, gaining popularity with students, is played on the stadium field. Although Price is not at liberty to share a detailed timeline until approval by the Board of Education, work should begin in the
near future and continue for several years. After 30 years of heavy use, UCHS needs a facelift on these athletic fields. Who doesn’t want to play a home game on a state-of-the-art field? Price is quick to point out that University City is “woefully underparked” and needs more recreational space for children and adults. A probable joint use of upper fields, similar to Standley’s joint use with Spreckels Elementary and Standley Middle School, should be motivation for the city to move this project along even in these uncertain economic times. Leslie is not one to seek the spotlight, but she proves the difference one person can make in this world. She saw a need, focused her energy on it and involved talented, committed people. Those in charge should name the field after her — AMTRACK: Anderson Miracle Track.

Cholesterol alert! Acres of delectable sweets were spread through each room of the stunning Senyei home, where the 25th St. Germaine Silver Tea was held. Just as sweet were the plethora of cash-filled envelopes tossed into the traditional silver bowl gracing the entranceway, money which is used to benefit children who have been abused and/or abandoned. Adding to the bonhomie were the raffle tickets, entitling winners to dining certificates and other goodies. Pacific Beach’s The Fishery alone provided a dozen or so. Luxury was available for the highest bidder, Kathy Abell; a stay at the 4,000-square-foot Maui home of Kathryn Murphy and Lance Peto, which had taken two years to complete. When all the guests left after this charitable and delicious afternoon, Noni bustled into her kitchen and whipped up some Bloody and Virgin Marys for all the chairs as they toiled at tallying the take and chose raffle winners from the bowlful of tickets.

Biopic resurrects singer Anita O’Day; Rourke resurrects career in ‘Wrestler’ BY JAMES COLT HARRISON | VILLAGE NEWS
Anita O’Day’s name may have faded into obscurity with the youth of today, but many fans remain as holdovers from the 1950s. O’Day ranks right up there with jazz singers Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and Billie Holliday. Now, the new film from Robbie Cavolina, Ian McCrudden and AOD Productions has fashioned an informative and fascinating look at the lady who became one of America’s greatest vocal artists. In ”Anita O’Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer,” we see the innovative artist without makeup (sometimes literally) with all her charms, quirks, failings and triumphs. It’s hard to find fault with a film that shows its subject in both good and bad situations. For 20 years, O’Day was addicted to drugs and alcohol. In personal interviews with the singer, she freely admits to her nose-dive into the netherworld of alcoholic haze and stupor-induced drug taking. But before all the drug taking, O’Day was an innovative girl singer who started out with Gene Krupa’s band and could only sing one song because that’s all she knew. She later added Louis Armstrong, Stan Kenton, Roy Eldridge and Hoagy Carmichael to her list of musical geniuses with which she sang. She was also generous in her musical introductions. She had originally found “Vaya Con Dios” and gave it to Les Paul and
Mary Ford. It became a smash for the guitar duo and sold more than three million copies. She also found “Tennessee Waltz,” which became a hit for both Les and Mary and Patti Page. Old films of Anita performing on Dick Cavett’s show or the CBS morning show with Bryant Gumbel look quaint today, but she had the chops until the end of her life at 84. She lived her life the way she wanted to and never let “them” take away her joy of living. “The Wrestler” didn’t sound like my cup of tea, but after seeing Mickey Rourke’s extraordinary performance, this reviewer became an instant fan. Although brutal in feeling and overall look, the film is a tough, touching look at a has-been wrestler who was once big and is struggling to make a comeback. Rourke is perfectly cast. Just as sometimes stars are at the right time in their lives and careers for
a certain part, this tale of a broken down man on the edge of disaster comes at the right time in Rourke’s nearly destroyed career. Director Darren Aronofsky carefully cast his film with Rourke as the wrestler and Marisa Tomei as a sympathetic stripper who befriends him. Marisa’s career has been up and down since she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in “My Cousin Vinny.” But she redeems herself in this part of a good-hearted pole dancer who is kind to, but is reluctant to get too close to, Rourke’s character. Evan Rachel Wood does outstanding work as Rourke’s estranged daughter. Fox Searchlight. “How About You” was brought to our attention as one of the holiday releases that should be of interest to mature audiences. Although not screened at press time, the story sounds charming and endearing as only an Irish and British production can be. Haley Atwell (“Brideshead Revisited”) plays Ellie, a woman who takes on the challenge of becoming a caregiver for the grumpy residents of a home for the elderly in rural Ireland. Ellie encounters such characters as Vanessa Redgrave, playing an old, hasbeen actress, who breaks into song at the drop of a hat. Great screen character actresses Imelda Staunton and Brenda Fricker add to the hilarity of this charming, warm, funny film. Strand Releasing.

The menu features an impressive array of organic vegetarian, seafood, poultry and pork entrees.

Missoni shows off its line at two December events BY DIANA CAVAGNARO | VILLAGE NEWS
W W W. A B D T U X E D O . C O M
Missoni, the iconic fashion house, brought the 2009 Missoni Summer Collection to San Diego for two days. The first was a private event on Dec. 10 chaired by Joan Waitt and underwritten by Nordstrom. The evening began with an elegant cocktail party at Waitt’s La Jolla home. An on-site boutique was set up with shopping for all the guests. The tent was filled with a sea of vivid colors and designs, as many of the shoppers were all decked out in Missoni. The evening culminated with a wellorchestrated runway show that was identical to the one shown in Milan, including the same music and lighting. It was a thrill to have such a high-caliber show in San Diego. This Italian fashion house is a family affair consisting of three generations. Rosita and Ottavio (Tai) Missoni began this fashion dynasty more than 50 years ago. The factory is one hour from Milan, and everything is made in Italy. They have developed a successful business by specializing in knitwear. Each garment is a work of art and no two are identical. The fabric, which is light as a feather, takes approximately an hour to produce two meters and then is finished with intricate handwork. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Missoni’s signature palette looks like a kaleidoscope of color and geometric designs. Proceeds for the night went to the Center for Community Solu-
tions. This nonprofit agency offers a complete range of sexual assault and domestic violence prevention and intervention services. For more information visit www.ccssd.org. On Dec. 11, the Nordstrom department store in Fashion Valley held a trunk show with the Missoni 2009 Summer Collection. Ambassadors Vittorio and Margherita Missoni were on hand to greet all the shoppers. Vittorio is the son of Rosita and Tai Missoni and is in charge of institutional affairs. Margherita is the granddaughter and muse of Missoni. You may have seen her face in the perfume ads, Missoni Acqua Fragrance. Many celebrities have been sighted sporting Missoni, such as Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz. Most recently, Nicole Kidman was pictured in an Italian newspaper wearing Missoni. If you missed any of these events, stop by Nordstrom and take a peek at Missoni’s innovative designs. (Clockwise from top left) Models show off the Missoni 2009 summer collection at the Missoni Runway Fashion Show at Joan Waitt’s home Dec. 10.

sand locales and submarine canyon of La Jolla’s Ecological Reserve, C. californicus bears a striking resemblance to the landdwelling praying mantis, another arthropod. The praying mantis may be named for its sacrosanct resting posture, but the skeleton
mals or various dead stuff will do. The praying mantis, solely an ambush predator, waits for the oblivious to stray too near, then pounces. Contrarily, the skeleton shrimp anchors its rear legs to a substrate and flails its clawlike front legs through the water. The bowing–scraping motion allows it to scan the water for unsuspecting prey floating by while remaining essentially in place. Alternatively, the shrimp may use its claws to scrape the plant or animal it lives on. Aside from the bowing and scraping business, what I can’t help but notice about a skeleton shrimp is its mode of travel because it strangely resembles that of an inchworm. The shrimp bends forward and, with the front claws, clutches the substrate, then detaches the rear legs from their hold and moves them forward by arching the body. Then, it grasps the substrate with the rear legs, releases the front claws and straightens out. Repeat as desired. The ungainly process is strangely effective and, I must say, surprisingly swift. If the inching motion sounds awkward, a skeleton shrimp won’t win any swimming contests either. When free in the water, it swims by quickly flexing and straightening the body, essentially the identical motion to navigating across substrate. Excruciating to watch, the shrimp looks like it’s wracked with spasms. The sexes are separate, with the male generally larger and with bigger claws to seize and hold the female during mating. The male carts around the female in a courtship that may last several days before mating takes place. The young develop in the female’s special chest pouch, and from there her brood hatches directly
shrimp can boast to raising the level of submissive behavior several notches. When clamped onto substrate with the back legs, it performs a continuous bowing–scraping motion with the front legs and body. Praying mantises are exclusively carnivores, consuming a wide variety of insects, amphibians and rodents, but C. californicus is an allinclusive eater: living plants and ani-

as miniature adults. Directly after emerging, the colorless offspring cling to the female’s body such that from a short distance she looks to be garbed in a feather boa made up of her fry. Offspring may return to the pouch for protection. Having a nearly fat-free body would seem to protect C. californicus from predation but it nutritionally sustains many species, including some commercially important fish like sardines and perch.

Fitness Together has new look and new attitude BY BRETT HANAVAN | VILLAGE NEWS
ever to continue spreading that message. It is all about choices: choices of deciding what to eat and how to live each day. After a while those turn into habits, which turn into lifestyle.” Doctors said that luckily for Lenz he is a personal trainer, a nutrition specialist and in great shape. This aided in his fast recovery. Lenz is working on transitioning from his lengthy recovery and has a clearer vision in his life, including his career focus at Fitness Together. The renovated Fitness Together facility includes better use of space, reorganized training studios, new flooring and the installation of a protein bar. “We provide our clients with a protein shake after their workouts so we at least know they are getting this very important post-exer-
Fitness Together is local and grass-roots. And is more dedicated to the La Jolla landscape. Owned by Alan Ezeir, the La Jolla facility recently underwent facility renovations. But, above and beyond, Ezeir, along with general manager John Lenz, decided to kick their business philosophy up a notch. Instead of just being a gym with sweat, dead-weights and showers, the facility is now focused on approaching clientele with more personalized and focused workouts that help customers achieve long-term health and fitness goals. In the long run, Fitness Together upgraded its physical presence through renovations, the addition of modern equipment and a focus on health and attitude in the community. “Alan and I agreed that the gym needed a makeover,” Lenz said. “We decided to open up our front cardio area to a protein bar and reception area. Training rooms were updated to give our trainers all the supplies necessary to deliver effective workouts every session.” The two also added a private consultation and evaluation area. “This helps us track our clients’ results and make sure we are doing our job, which is getting results for our clients,” Lenz said. Floors were upgraded, walls were painted and several mirrors were added. “The renovations started in April and were completed over the Fourth of July weekend 2008,” Lenz said. “It was a lot of work, John Lenz but I could not be happier about how the gym turned out.” In April of 2008, much had changed for Lenz. “I actually just finished training a few sessions on that Saturday morning and was driving over to surf with a few buddies at Ocean Beach,” Lenz said. “I arrived late and they were leaving as I was getting in. It was such a beautiful morning. Waves were about waist to chest high.” Lenz, at that point, said he noticed the tide level was low. He kept paddling out into the waves. “On my third wave of the day, I was riding in and the wave closed out on me while I was on the top of it,” Lenz said. “It threw me forward head-first into the water, slamming the back of my head onto the sand bar.” Right away Lenz heard a bunch of cracks and thought he’d chipped or cracked a tooth. After that, he blacked out for a second or two. “I tried to get up but my body was not working so well,” Lenz said. “My neck and body went numb and I could hardly stand up.” About ten minutes passed and Lenz finally made his way to a nearby lifeguard tower. “From there it was four days in the hospital with no guarantees on what my life was about to turn into,” Lenz said. “On the fourth day, the doctors told me along with my family that I would make a full recovery.” After the accident, Lenz was excited to try and integrate Fitness Together more into the La Jolla community. His health, the health of others and his views on health were challenged. “You can escape the worst if you live your best every day,” Lenz said, after being told this by his doctors. “I have more reason than
cise meal,” Lenz said. “All of our shakes are custom ordered to what the clients desire.” Shake ingredients include either chocolate or vanilla protein that has four different types of protein in its mix. There is also fresh fruit available including bananas, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. “We believe providing protein shakes helps achieve goals faster by teaching our clients what to consume post-workout,” Lenz said. Together, Ezeir and Lenz are approaching their grassroots business with a whole new look on life. Unfortunately, it took more than just the renovation to get them there. Lenz has been trolling and riding Southern California waters for four years. He was born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y., and until
he was 23 had a career as a hockey player, including collegiate Division 1 play at Miami of Ohio. “I played and lived all over the country,” Lenz said. “I moved to California and began working as a personal trainer and Alan was
one of my clients.” Together the two trained three times a week and soon began talking business. And the allegiance and relationship was formed. SEE FITNESS, Page 16

Year-end report: stages filled with the sound of music BY CHARLENE BALDRDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Though 2008 was clearly the year of the musical in San Diego, audiences saw some fine comedies and dramas as well. In the musical genre, audiences enjoyed the resurrection (at Tenth Avenue Theatre) of Jonathan Larson’s “Tick, Tick ... Boom!” with the splendid Jim Chatham as Jonathan; the world premiere of “Dancing in the Dark” at the Old Globe, with a memorable performance by Patrick Page as the egotistical director (Page later returned to the Globe as the father in “The Pleasure of His Company”); a dynamite production of Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music,” produced by Cygnet Theatre at the Old Town Stage; a fine “The King and I” at Welk Resort Theatres; a grand “Les Miserables” at Vista’s Moonlight Theatre, especially the Eponine of Laura D’Andre; and what felt like a musical in Moises Kaufman’s Beethoven-centered play “33 Variations” at La Jolla Playhouse. Diversionary Theatre produced the appealing and extremely well done new musical “Yank,” starring

Tom Zohar as a gay GI in World War II; and Broadway San Diego thankfully brought in two marvelous Broadway musicals, “Spring Awakening” and “The Drowsy Chaperone.” Lamb’s Players fielded a fine production of “Light in the Piazza” with a revelatory performance by resident diva Deborah Gilmour Smyth as the Mother. Playhouse riches included two Christopher Ashley stagings, the new musical “Memphis” and a new production of Ashley’s Broadway hit, “Xanadu.” San Diego Musical Theatre pleased audiences with an outstanding “Dreamgirls” featuring the talented one-named gospel singer Ton3x (pronounced ToeNAY), who later rocked the rafters in San Diego Repertory Theatre’s “The Princess and the Black-Eyed Pea.” The year’s best comedy arguably would be North Coast Repertory’s farce “Don’t Dress for Dinner.” The Old Globe produced three Shakespeare works, “All’s Well that Ends Well,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and announced a change of format for 2009. They will produce Shake-
speare’s “Twelfth Night” and “Henry VIII” and Edmond Rostand’s “Cyrano de Bergerac.” There was much to admire in the following: San Diego Repertory’s “Water & Power”; Diversionary’s “No Exit”; The Old Globe’s “The Women”; Ion Theatre’s double bill of “Bash” and “In a Dark Dark House”; New Village Arts’ “Fool for Love” and “Golden Boy”; Cygnet
Theatre’s “The Receptionist”; Lamb’s Players’ world premiere play by Mike Buckley, “The Hit”; and Moxie Theatre’s “The Listener.” Inukshuk Production Company’s “Terra Nova” (fabulous ensemble) and Compass Theatre’s “Three Days of Rain” were among the best ever seen at the Compass formerly known as 6th@Penn. The drama that stands tall over
all the others in sheer dramatic wattage and quality, however, is Cygnet Theatre’s production of August Wilson’s “Fences,” starring Antonio TJ Johnson and Sylvia M’lafi Thomson and featuring Mark Christopher Lawrence as Gabriel. All in all, it was another exciting year in San Diego Theatre. Further riches wait in 2009.

Each client has personal goals that are realistic and a workout program is established. There is also a new marketing plan to promote its products, services and philosophy to La Jolla and a hospitality manager.
Lenz says that Fitness Together’s new focus is on the mark. “It’s all about commitment. We offer the tools that our clients need to achieve their health and fitness goals, as well as become educated on how to live a healthy life, for life. It’s a no-fail philosophy,” Lenz said. For now, Lenz continues his physical therapy. “This process is a yearlong one
in order to get back to everything normal,” Lenz added. “I wore a large neck brace for the first three [months].” Obviously Lenz has not been back surfing in the Pacific Ocean. “The plan is to be back in the water next April,” Lenz added. “I am not near ready to go in yet, but when it does happen I will be ready.” In addition to Lenz’s position as
general manager of Fitness Together, he is a recently elected member of the La Jolla Town Council. “I just want to be more a part of La Jolla,” Lenz said. “All of our clients are amazing people with such great outlooks on life and I want to be a part of it.” Fitness Together is located at 7777 Fay Ave. For information, call (858) 454-7774.

Texas Christian University’s Taylor Roncancio leaps for the end zone during the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in front of 35,000 fans.
Horned Frogs leap past Broncos, 17-16 BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
It may not have provided the offensive fireworks that its big brother at the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl usually offers, but last week’s San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl provided an exciting game when all was said and done. Texas Christian University capped its two-loss season by handing previously unbeaten and ninth-ranked Boise State its first loss of 2008 in a 17-16 contest at Qualcomm Stadium before nearly 35,000 fans. TCU, which came into the game ranked 11th, took its first lead of the game at 17-13 midway through the fourth quarter and relied on its defense to ice the victory. Joseph Turner (16 carries, 83 yards rushing) scored the game-winner on a 17-yard run. Things did not start out well for the Horned Frogs, though, who fell behind 10-0 midway through the opening quarter. With famed alum and San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson watching from the TCU sidelines, the Horned Frogs watched Ian Johnson score on a 20-yard scamper, which would be Boise State’s only touchdown of the evening. Johnson’s TD run was the 58th of his career, breaking former San Diego State star Marshall Faulk’s Western Athletic Conference (WAC) record, which was set when the Aztecs were formerly in the WAC.
The Broncos closed to within 17-16 on a 33-yard field goal from Kyle Brotzman late in the game, but a last-ditch effort to score when Boise State got the ball back ended in TCU’s Matt Panfil grabbing a lateral in the air to end the comeback. Mountain West Conference member TCU, ironically, was the one who piled up the offense, outgaining the Broncos 472 yards to 250. Boise State entered
the game scoring just under 40 points a game, but it likely had not faced a defense like TCU’s during its run through the weaker WAC. TCU QB Andy Dalton was named the offensive player of the game, finishing 22-of-35 for 197 yards with an interception while adding 74 yards on the ground. Aaron Brown paced the Horned Frogs with 102 rushing yards and a touchdown.

The La Jolla girls blue soccer team (under 8 division) netted the gold recently in Mesa Soccer’s 25th Annual Recreational All-Star Tournament. The squad was made up of a dozen All-Star players from the La Jolla League. Of eight teams in the league, approximately two to four girls from each team made up the all-stars. The girls practiced together for two weeks and then entered the tournament. In the championship game, La Jolla’s Marley Meyer scored the game-winner in a 1-0 victory over Scripps Ranch. In the prior games of the second day, La Jolla had penalty kick rounds in both the playoff and semifinal games. In the first game, La Jolla tied 0-0 and had penalty kicks (which the girls had never done before). The second game La Jolla tied 1-1 with Meyer scoring that goal as well. In the penalty kick portion, La Jolla goalie Kendall Lincoln took a shot right in the face to keep the opponent from scoring. In that semifinal round, La Jolla, which was the number six seed, played the Del Mar Sharks, which is a touring club team and was the top seed in the tournament. La Jolla also defeated Carlsbad on penalty kicks in an earlier contest. “Kendall took at least three balls to the face, including one in the championship game,” La
Jolla assistant coach Jason Meyer noted. “She asked us, ‘How many times are they going to kick me in the face?’” Meyer said other players who played well for La Jolla included Samantha Smigliani, who he noted was amazing on defense, Summer Lake, who hustled her heart out, and Chloe Alexander, who he noted was the “X” factor for the squad on defense and offense. Among the other teams in the tourney were Fallbrook, Mesa, Solana Beach, Vista, Ramona, Encinitas, Carlsbad, PB, Poway, Escondido, Valley Center, Scripps Ranch and Del Mar. La Jolla’s wins on the first day of play were over Scripps Ranch (2-0), Fallbrook (3-0) and Encinitas (2-0), with a loss to Vista (1-0). “This was a great experience,” Meyer said. “Both coach Michael Rossbacher and I truly enjoyed the experience. Our girls played really hard and in horrible conditions on day 1. It was windy, cold and raining and they never complained. In fact, the joy on their faces was worth more than you can imagine. During each game, the girls showed great team spirit, sportsmanship and camaraderie. These girls cheered each other on, consoled each other and clearly enjoyed their experience. This was a once-in-a-life-time experience and we were lucky to have been a part of it with these great kids.”

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer "employment" but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it's illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

(5-1 divisional record), scored early and often Sunday evening, ensuring a first-round home game Saturday, Jan. 3, at 5 p.m. against the Indianapolis Colts. The fourth-seeded Chargers fell to the fifth-seeded Colts earlier this season in a close 23-20 contest in San Diego. Denver (8-8), meantime, looked out of its game in the season finale, as Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson, Darrel Sproles and company totaled their highest scoring output of the season. Tomlinson, who injured his groin in the third quarter, accounted for three TDs, while Rivers tossed a

pair of touchdowns. Sproles (115 yards rushing), who is one of the game’s most dangerous return men on kickoffs and punts, accounted for one score in the air and a rushing TD. “It’s exciting. It’s obviously history the way we trailed the division and how we won it,” Rivers said. “We know the expectations we set out and how high they were at the start of the year. Now all we’ve done is reopen some of those goals and some of those expectations now that we’ve got ourselves into January.” After Denver grabbed a 6-3 lead, San Diego outscored the Broncos 28-7 to take a commanding 31-13 lead midway through the third quarter.

clicking on all cylinders, San Diego’s defense also made for a miserable night for Denver QB Jay Cutler. Luis Castillo provided a big blow in the third quarter as he intercepted Cutler and returned the ball deep into Broncos territory, setting up an LT touchdown run that made it 38-13. Paul Oliver also picked off a Cutler pass to thwart another drive. Denver scored to pull within 3821, but San Diego iced the game with a pair of touchdowns to end the regular season and bring what seemed like an improbable finish to town only three weeks ago. Indianapolis, meantime, finished with a better record (12-4) than San Diego, but will travel west as a wild card entrant.
