La Jolla’s public schools answer the bell Sept. 7

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS La Jolla’s public schools will begin a new academic year with classes starting Sept. 7. Fresh faces will be added to the student body and administration, along with improvements to campuses and curriculums. Here is a look at some of the noteworthy items at local campuses.

Symbolic Motor Car Co. continues to attract customers for Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Lotus and Rolls Royce automobiles.

Luxury on wheels High-end car dealership flourishes despite a sputtering economy

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS Americans love their cars. And for La Jolla’s most elite luxury-automobile dealerships, life in the fast lane has yet to slow down.

Rick Ahumada, salesman and marketing director for Symbolic Motor Car Co. at 7440 La Jolla Blvd., said the dealership sells “literally hundreds of cars per year,” both locally and internationally. Its inventory includes an average of 80 automobiles in stock at any given time, with price tags that range from $60,000 to $20 million.

About 40 percent of sales are local and about 60 percent comes from other locations, Ahumada said. Headquartered in La Jolla, Symbolic maintains one of the largest inventories in the nation for Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Lotus and Rolls Royce brands.

Children’s School readies debut of new middle school campus

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS The Children’s School, a private La Jolla institution for toddlers through grade 8, will celebrate the grand opening of a new middle school campus Sept. 10 from 5 to 7 p.m.

The school is located at 2225 Torrey Pines Lane.

The ceremony will begin with light refreshments on the Kelley Family Field, followed by a ribbon cutting at 5:30 p.m. and a new building dedication and installation of Head of School Brian Oliphant at 5:45. The event will conclude with a campus tour at 6:15.

The $5 million campus, which took a year to build, will be called Nelson Middle Years (NMY) and will accommodate students in grades five through eight, Oliphant said.

“The school has historically been pre-kindergarten through sixth grade,” he said. “We’ve added a seventh and eighth grade and will be transferring fifth- and sixth-graders to the new campus as well.”

Some of the new building’s amenities include a new art lab, a science lab and a music center.

“Everything is very current and technology-centered,” Oliphant said.

Oliphant joins the faculty after working for the Harbor Day School in Newport Beach. He said he is excited to promote the school’s mission of providing a comprehensive “child-centered education.”

“We have a great social education curriculum and we really focus on all aspects of children’s development, from social and emotional to academic and artistic,” Oliphant said. “It’s a really well-rounded program.”

The Children’s School welcomes about 250 students this year, with classes starting Sept. 7. Instruction time begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 3:15 p.m.

“It’s a really exciting time in the school’s history,” Oliphant said.

“Enrollment is the highest it’s ever been and we have an incredibly dedicated faculty. We’re really looking forward to the opening.”

Tuition for The Children’s School is $17,000 per year for all ages and grade levels. For more information or to RSVP, call (858) 454-0184 or visit www.tcslj.org.

NEWS Alani Aguerre, one of the three teenagers injured when a suspected intoxicated driver drove onto the sidewalk on La Jolla Boulevard and crashed into Cass Street Café on Aug. 15, remains hospitalized at Scripps Memorial Hospital.

She has undergone four surgeries since the accident, according to family members.

Aguerre was the most severely injured of the three teens involved in the crash and is recovering from a broken pelvis, among other injuries. Her mother, Cecilia Aguerre, said Alani is “taking baby steps on her recovery,” but that “she is finally out of the ventilator, which will speed up the process.”

Cecilia added Alani’s bones are “healing well.” She said her daughter “is very alert and aware of what happened to her and her friends.”

and we are amazed at her recollection of events,” Aguerre said.

Aguerre expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support the teens and their families have received from the community in the aftermath of the crash.

“I would love to thank everyone for the support, help and prayers we are receiving from the whole La Jolla community — the SICU staff at Scripps Memorial, our family and friends, neighbors, schools, media,” she said.

“We are making a list to personally thank every single person who has been with us through the process, but thankfully it is very long to mention here,” Cecilia said.

Ronald Troyer, 66, a suspected transient, is being charged with reckless driving with injury in connection with the crash, in addition to driving on a suspended license. He is being held in jail on $275,000 bail and has seven DUIs in the past, according to police.

Thanks to local gardener Armando Castro, kindergartners at La Jolla Elementary School (LJES) will start the school year with a freshly landscaped playground.

Julia Kaplan, parent of two incoming LJES kindergartners, thought the playground could use some attention.

She asked Castro, her gardener, for advice.

Castro, a father of four — including 10-year-old triplets — gladly brought three members of his crew and a truckload of compost and plants to the playground. The group spent several hours landscaping the area on Sunday afternoon, along with several families and teachers who volunteered their time.

When offered compensation for his services, Castro refused.

“I’m not that kind of guy,” he said. “I have kids, too, and it’s no problem for me. I just wanted to help clean up the space and make it look nice.”

Kaplan said she was floored.

“It’s so phenomenal,” she said. “He clearly had some hard expenses with his crew members and the materials, but he did it out of the goodness of his heart. He knows how environment affects learning and he knew it was important for the kids to have a nice place to learn and play.”

Kaplan said she thought Castro’s gesture would help the students better appreciate their school.

“When the kids see their parents and Armando and his team put in all that effort, it teaches them about hard work and it impacts how they feel about their school,” she said.

“It made the kids work hard, too. It can be tough to get

them to pick up their clothes at home, but they were out there with shovels all day.”

Castro works with several families in La Jolla, and Kaplan said he demonstrates the same giving attitude on a regular basis.

“I think he’s just one of those people who does good things, and I think they’ll come back to him,” Kaplan said.

“He’s a man of few words, but he has a huge heart.”

standing the demographics,” Ahumada said. “We’re really dealing with one percent of the population whose lifestyle is very different from the rest.”

Symbolic offers purchasing as well as financing and leasing for clients. Despite less-than-ideal economic conditions, Ahumada said the dealership has seen more cash purchases than leases lately.

“Maybe part of it is that banks aren’t willing to lend as much right now,” he said. “People in the market for these vehicles are in industries that are recessionproof, or they have other resources.”

While luxury vehicles always exude a certain allure, their acquisition often takes on new meaning in the face of economic instability.

“Everybody has a different motive,” Ahumada said. “Some of the classic and vintage cars are good investments, and some of the contemporary cars are not so much investments as they are rewards.”

One couple, Ahumada said, recently visited Symbolic and bought a new Bentley for their 50th wedding anniversary after watching their retirement funds dwindle during the stock market decline.

“They reasoned that if they didn’t do something with the money, it would be gone anyway,” he said.

“So they decided they might as well enjoy some of it and have something to show for it.”

Other clients, he said, contemplate a new purchase after reaching important milestones in their lives related to family or business, or while still working towards

“It’s a way to enjoy some of the fruits of your labor now,” Ahumada said.

Ahumada said clients still seek diverse qualities for diverse reasons.

“If you look at our product line, we have a little bit of everything,” he said. “Some people want fun, some want sporty, some want speed and some want comfort.”

He said Symbolic’s average client — which comprises only about one percent of the population and can include “everybody from royalty to celebrities, athletes, entertainers and business people” — typically already owns five or six automobiles.

“I don’t think one automobile does everything you need it to do,” he said. “You might have your SUV, your sedan, your convertible, your pickup truck and then your sports car. Part of our job is assessing the customer’s needs and steering them in a certain direction.”

Ahumada said he was inspired to become involved in the automobile industry by his father, who was in the business for almost 50 years.

“In order to be a good salesperson, you have to like what you sell,” he said. “We sell some of the greatest products in the world. If you’re going to be in any business and you’re good at what you do, wouldn’t you want to do that?”

Local cancer researcher, turned cancer patient, fights for better treatment Ovarian cancer patients receive the same treatment they did 40 years ago

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS

Dr. Laura Shawver, a local cancer researcher who was forced to wage her own battle against ovarian cancer, launched the Clearity Foundation, a resource that provides diagnostic services to profile cancer patient’s tumors on an individualized basis in order to determine the most viable treatment options.

NEWSbriefs

When Dr. Laura Shawver was diagnosed with ovarian cancer four years ago, she didn’t panic.

A scientist and drug developer working in biotechnology and cancer research for more than 20 years — the last eight in La Jolla — Shawver was more than familiar with treatment procedures and was confident she had the knowledge and resources to effectively fight the disease.

The shocking reality came shortly after when she realized that precious little research has explored how to treat ovarian cancer on an individual basis, and that the same techniques developed 40 years ago are still being used today.

“Cancer diagnosis never goes over easily,” Shawver said. “But realizing that there was no way I could get access to what I was doing in the lab as a patient was very frustrating.”

Through her research, Shawver — who is also chief executive officer of the drug development company Phenomix Corp — knew scientists were making strides in characterizing tumors according to molecular biology. This meant patients could seek care

specifically tailored to their individual needs. However, “ovarian cancer is all treated the same no matter what your histology is,” Shawver said. “There have been few attempts to understand the molecular underpinnings that drive the disease on a basic level.”

Each year, 20,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Shawver said.

“And each year, there are 15,000 deaths,” she added.

For perspective, 15,000 people also die of breast cancer each year. But 180,000 are diagnosed.

“Those numbers tell us we’re not doing a good job of treating ovarian cancer,” Shawver said. “As a scientist, I thought the situation didn’t make sense.”

With a history of taking action, Shawver decided once again to apply her expertise where it could make a difference. Only now, the fight was personal.

“As a drug developer, I knew that we were starting to understand the molecular targets that each drug interacts with,” she said. “I thought that could enable me to help change the paradigm for treating ovarian cancer patients.”

Just one year into her own battle with ovarian cancer, Shawver launched the Clearity Foundation, a

it was “a pretty good amount” that would require the store to conduct an inventory.

A transient allegedly witnessed the incident and told investigators he saw a suspect pry his way into the front door at about 3:30 a.m. using an instrument that left a yellow paint residue. The witness said the suspect entered the store and left with merchandise three different times, loading the stolen items into a white van with aluminum ladders.

The witness said that in between the suspect’s second and third trips, the burglar left the location for about an hour. During that time, the witness said, a second man saw the “opportunity” of the open store and gathered several televisions to take, but did not leave with the merchandise, Brown said. Brown said police were notified of the burglary at about 4:40 a.m. and responded within two minutes, but were unable to apprehend the suspect or the vehicle.

La Jollans raise $143,000 in relay The four La Jolla High School alumni who organized the downtown San Diego American Cancer Society Relay for Life raised $143,000 and attracted 1,200 participants to the Aug. 21 event.

The former LJHS students were featured in a La Jolla Village News article in early August. Organizers Brad Williams, David Lichtenstein and brothers Jamie and Stacy Meronoff said they were thrilled with the results.

“This was the second-highest amount fundraised out of 32 relays in San Diego County,” Williams said.

resource that provides diagnostic services to profile cancer patient’s tumors on an individualized basis in order to determine the most viable treatment options.

“In order to have a successful treatment, you have to match it specifically to each patient,” Shawver said.

After the initial diagnosis, Shawver said, chemotherapy works for the majority of patients. The challenge comes later, when out of the 75 percent of ovarian cancer patients who are diagnosed in stage three or four, 80 percent relapse.

“Doctors have to then decide what their next treatment regiment will be, but there’s no method available to help prioritize their options,” Shawver said.

“When ovarian cancer recurs, there’s less than a 15 percent chance of successful treatment.”

The Clearity Foundation is unique in that it focuses on helping women in the recurrent or refractory stage of the disease.

“Many ovarian cancer foundations are focused on new cures or early detection, which, of course, we support and we hope to be put out of business by them in the future,” Shawver said. “But this is for a smaller patient population with different needs.”

Since its inception, the Clearity Foundation has provided tumor

“blueprints” or customized diagnostics to about 150 ovarian cancer patients across the country. The foundation keeps a database with each individual’s case information, following each one over time to help tailor their treatment and gather insight for future patients.

Shawver herself has been in remission since her chemotherapy concluded in February 2007.

“I have been one of the lucky ones,” she said. “My work with the foundation has made me realize how desperately we need to improve the treatment paradigm and make individual choices based on the molecular drivers of the disease rather than the one-size-fits-all approach of today.”

Earlier this month, the foundation raised $30,000 in San’s Diego America’s Finest City Half-Marathon and 5K Run. Shawver said the group collaborates regularly with other organizations and medical advisory boards, but that it depends largely upon donations from the public.

“It’s a huge opportunity to be involved with this, and I feel so blessed given my diagnosis in 2006,” Shawver said. “I’m very aware of the statistics, and here I am. I feel very compelled to help others through this foundation.”

THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Beaches should be free of advertising In regard to the Letter to the Editor, “Lifeguard Towers can be painted colorfully, tastefully” by Marc Menkin, La Jolla Village News, Aug. 19: With all due respect to the children who “painted” the lifeguard towers in Los Angeles, the towers were really wallpapered with printed vinyl graphic sheeting provided by Image Options, a company whose ad appears all around the roof-edges of each tower.

A sponsoring company, like Izod, paid for the sheeting and its application in exchange for their advertisement on the tower for five months, and the children’s charity gained a donation, one should hope. It’s a good plan, but advertising and art don’t belong on naturally picturesque beaches, nor in the woods, around lakes or in the mountains.

Some places just have to be sacred, pristine and preserved for our sanity, and for the wild things, like birds, fish and animals.

The San Diego City Council will be voting this fall on a plan to allow major name-brand advertising on all city beach lifeguard towers, beach benches, walkways, trash cans (and what next?) to help reduce our $75,000,000 deficit and restore funds to lifeguards and other programs. At an advertising cost of $200,000 to $500,000 per year for five years, corporate giants will not be satisfied with a tiny sign on a big tower.

If you don’t want advertising blight on our beautiful beaches, call, write or e-mail your City Council representative now, before it’s too late: www.sandiego.gov/citycouncil/ Sage Faber Ocean Beach

30-foot height limit is under attack The 30-foot building limit is under attack. This limit was initiated as a grass-roots initiative that was approved overwhelmingly in a citywide vote in November of 1972. This voter-approved ordinance was appealed and ended in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rejected the appeal saying that a community can zone itself as it sees fit thus approving the 30-foot height limit. After Proposition D was approved by the voters, the City Council added a complementary ordinance to accommodate sloping lots but still keep the 30-foot limit. There is no question that the complementary ordinance is an adjunct to Proposition D and the two ordinances cannot be separated. Had Proposition D not been approved by the voters, there would not be a second ordinance and therefore no 30-foot height restriction.

The purpose of Proposition D was to prevent our beaches from being walled off by high-rise buildings and buildings higher than three stories. The La Jolla Community groups are currently being asked to approve a “variance” to the 30-foot height limitation ordinances.

Granting such a “variance” to a voter approved ordinance places the community groups in an untenable position, that is, they would be granting exceptions to an ordinance passed by the people.

The community planning groups are ill-advised to start acting as a deity and deciding who can exceed the ordinance and who can’t.

Furthermore, they have no approved threshold for the amount of additional height. Is 2 additional feet OK but 3 feet too much? If 2 or 3 feet is OK, then how about an 8-foot “variance?” That would be another story.

It is my opinion that the planning groups invite a lawsuit if they begin to issue variances to a voter approved ordinance that has been tested in court. I have been on the CPA board of trustees for nearly six years and I cannot remember ever being asked to grant a variance to Prop D or its companion ordinance. I am also not aware that any other coastal community group — Pacific Beach or Mission Beach, etc. — has been asked to approve a height “variance.”

Please come out to the La Jolla Community Planning Association meetings and help maintain the coastal zone building height limit approved by the voters. The meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at the La Jolla Recreation Center at 6 p.m.

Do we have enough time and the right weather to squeeze summer 2010 into a few days? June gloom is something San Diegans, especially coastal La Jollans, get used to, but this past July was one gray, cool blur.

Community policeman Alan Alvarez reported at the University City Community Association’s July board meeting that police agreed Independence Day 2010 at the beach was peaceful compared to years past when the heat was on and the alcohol flowed at the local beaches.

When asked about Kate Sessions Park, Alvarez agreed that there were issues there on July Fourth. At the Fourth of July U.C. Celebration at Standley Park, by the time the park was awash in music at the 5 p.m. concert with the Y3K dance band, people were freezing. What gives?

San Diego weather is back now that August is ready to exit. The night skies are subject to earlier sunsets. School bells are ringing to remind us that cold and foggy or warm and wonderful, unofficial summer is finished as of Labor Day. White shark sightings emptied La Jolla beaches several days ago.

What gives?

September is the most beautiful beach month to a lot of locals who enjoy dipping their toes into the ocean after all the tourists have left us. At sunrise, surfers hang out at open car trunks while putting finish-

ing touches on their boards and themselves. By sunset, all eyes are glued on the possibility of a green flash with cameras posed and fire pits sending up flames and smoke.

La Jolla Shores is a little bit of heaven in September. Torrey Pines Beach is truly inviting. Cars creep along looking for parking places so as to have their occupants get a chance to see the perfect sunset. La Jolla Cove, stretching from the cave shop to the north to the Children’s Pool to the south, provides perfect views of the Pacific that would make the French Riviera rage with jealousy.

September also ushers in that heavy campaign season heading for the Nov. 2 election this year. Thank God the first Tuesday in November is the 2nd and not the 9th; at least the commercials will be over early.

This year’s election for California governor is seeing some ma$$ive spending by Meg Whitman and some serious silence by Jerry Brown, both hoping to be governor of California when the fiscal nightmare rivals the scariest horror film. Why would these two candidates want to take on the almost impossible task of overseeing Sacramento and its politics as usual? Are Brown and Whitman just plain idealistic? Voters are hoping for concrete solutions, not political mudslinging. What gives?

Locally, San Diegans will be dealing with sound bytes about Proposition D. Remember those photo ops with Councilwoman Donna Frye and Mayor Jerry Sanders on the same side of the issue initiated by Ms. Frye, once a worthy opponent of Sanders in the race for mayor, which he won in 2005. So, Prop D is our homework

for September, October, and the first two days of November. Prop D is considered a financial reform plan with a half-cent sales tax increase, according to the proponents. It is a complicated ballot measure with 10 reforms having to be met before the sales tax kicks in. The city auditor becomes “the decider” rather than the City Council. Among the 10 reforms are: implementing managed competition, reducing pension costs, reducing retiree healthcare liability, and privatizing, as in the example of Miramar Landfill.

Richard Rider wasted no time in filing a lawsuit against Prop D. According to Liam Dillon of voiceofsandiego.org, part of the lawsuit reads this way: “What resulted was the subject Prop D, a Frankenstein Proposition that was charged into life as City Ordinance #0-19886. Unless the Court acts either to void it or substantially modify it, it will appear on the ballot as Proposition D where, if it is approved by voters, its monstrously unconstitutional and illegal provisions will likely precipitate numerous lawsuits that will haunt our local courts for many years.”

Prop D challenges single-subject rules, maintaining council legislative authority, and providing clear reform criteria because it has several subjects, gives decision making to the city auditor and the reform is fuzzy.

If the sales tax revenues go into the general fund and aren’t strictly marked for police and fire, could the funds go to pension increases? Does the City Council have the will to push for real reforms? Will the sunsets in September be subject to June gloom revisited?

Torreys pin gridiron hopes on young squad this season

BY THOMAS CONROY | VILLAGE NEWS Coming off a CIF semifinal appearance last season, the La Jolla Country Day football team is heading into the 2010 campaign with a different mix on its roster than in past seasons.

Head coach Jeff Hutzler feels his squad is made up of a talented senior class that will help mentor a promising group of sophomores and, hopefully, become one cohesive unit for another successful season.

“We have a good set of sophomores that will be trying to fill some big shoes this year,” Hutzler said. “The coaching staff’s main task during training camp was to keep everything simple. I would rather execute 10 plays perfectly right now, rather than implementing our entire scheme and confusing everyone. We’re going to start a lot of them, and their biggest growth should come between the first and second game of the season.”

Gone are quarterback Derek Hat-

field, running back/linebacker Montell Allen, wide receiver/defensive back Connor Gerhart and offensive lineman Indie Lauarias. Three of the four are currently preparing for their collegiate debuts in September.

Allen, the Pacific League Player of the Year last season, stayed in town at the University of San Diego.

Hutzler has always divided the football season into three parts: nonleague, league and playoffs. He said he is anxious to get his young sopho-

mores out on the field and compete at the varsity level. They got their first opportunity at the CIF Kickoff Classic on Friday against Hoover before they head to Hawaii to play their season opener against Kamehameha Maui on Saturday, Sept. 4.

“We been invited to play in the Kickoff Classic several times in the past, and I like that it’s a scrimmage played under game-like conditions,” Hutzler said. “We need this team-building experience to show our youngsters how to prepare to play ball each week at this level.”

All eyes will be on two sophomores — receiver/safety Sage Burmeister and running back/linebacker Colin McMahon — who could make an immediate impact on the Torreys season. After Hatfield went down with a season-ending injury in 2009, Burmeister was brought up from freshman squad and jumped right into his safety position on the defense. This season, he is expected to replace Ger-

Talented Torreys aim to net back-to-back state titles

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS It’s hard to imagine a season better than the 39-1 record and the state championship the La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) girls’ volleyball team earned in 2009. But with the bulk of last season’s team returning to defend its title, the notion of a perfect season from the Torreys in 2010 is certainly not absurd.

“I feel like our focus is taking the state championship from last year, putting it in the trophy room and moving on,” said senior setter Chloe Mathis. “We’re going to try for 40-0 this year.”

Don’t tell that to head coach Peter Ogle, though. He scoffs at the idea of dynasty-building at LJCD. Entering his 33rd year of coaching, Ogle knows as well as anybody his job is to get his players fully prepared for every match, every game and every play. Looking beyond the immediate future can be a dangerous idea for any team.

“The outside people probably have a lot of expectations because of all the returning players,” he said. “For me, the expectation is to get better every day. I don’t know how good we’ll be. A lot of things have to fall into place (to win state).”

What makes the Torreys such a scary squad is the star power it brings to the table. A trio of seniors who are all expected to play at Division I colleges next year leads them. Their talent is no secret, but they also know what it takes to win. If they forget, even for a second, Ogle is there to snap

La Jolla Country Day senior setter Chloe Mathis said she has set her sights on an undefeated season. PAUL HANSEN | Village News

them back to his world where anything other than excellence is unacceptable.

LJCD’s strength is its powerhouse offense that can get opponents’ heads spinning in a hurry. It runs a fastpaced attack with extremely adept outside hitters who often have players on the other side of the net ducking for cover. One of those hitters is Lauren Birks. She led the team in kills last season with 204.

“We run a very quick offense and

that gives me a lot of opportunities to get up and put the ball away,” Birks said.

Many teams have a big hitter to look out for, but the quandary in playing the Torreys is that they have two. Mollie Rogers also possesses the innate ability to jump high, time it perfectly and deliver a thunderous blast just like her partner. With so much offensive talent to deal with, opposing teams can’t key on one player.

“It’s nice having two strong, dominant hitters opposite each other,” said Rogers, who will be playing at Yale next year. “We’re always confident we have control of the back row and the front row at the same time.”

There is no doubt LJCD boasts some of the strongest hitters in the state, but without a good setter they would never get the chance to hammer down those perfect passes. That’s where Mathis comes in, the quarterback on the court involved in nearly every play.

Her creativity keeps opponents guessing all the time and her talents have earned a full scholarship to the University of Arizona next year.

The Torreys have two more seniors in the starting lineup: Gillian Howard and Maggie Whitney. However, from most accounts the team isn’t as deep as last year. On the flipside, the lack of proven backups may add motivation for others to step up. In the process, they could become champions in their own right.

LJCD kicks off its state title defense at Poway on Thursday, Sept. 9 at 4:45 p.m.

Windansea surf meet and luau returns A La Jolla tradition since 1994, the 2010 Windan’Sea Surfers Reunion Association’s Longboard Surf Meet and Beach Luau returns Saturday, Sept. 11. Surfers of all ages and abilities are invited to register for what event founder Mike Wilson calls “an old school meeting of the surf tribe.”

Wilson, who was born and raised in La Jolla and learned to surf at Windansea, moved to the island of Kauai in 2005. The event was not held regularly in his absence, but he has reju-

venated efforts this year.

This year’s event will honor Woody Ekstrom, one of the original La Jolla pioneer surfers. Ekstrom helped build the first Windansea shack and has been honored by the California Surf Museum.

Surfers must ride boards that are at least nine feet long.

The event will begin at 9 a.m. with “Geezers Go First!” for ages 60 and over, followed by “Cavemen & Cavewomen” for ages 45 to 59 at 10 a.m.,

“Young Guns & Gun Girls” for ages 30 to 44 at 11 a.m., couples and families at noon and “Gremmies & Gremetts” ages 29 and under at 1 p.m. Finally, all entrants surf for free at 2 p.m. until the luau begins at 3:30.

Registration for the meet is $35 per surfer. Families can register up to two adults and two children for $60 total, which includes two T-shirts.

Luau tickets are $15 and raffle tickets are $1. To register, call (808) 4999032.

hart at the offensive slot receiver position. McMahon’s play has been the talk of camp, as he has shown great vision running the football and has been very physical in all of the defensive drills thus far.

The new signal-caller this year will be junior Ruben Peña, who gained valuable experience after replacing Hatfield in the final three games of last season. He is coming into his own at the position, and not too many QBs can play the outside linebacker position like him.

The injury bug has hit the Torreys hard early, however. Senior all-league candidate tight end/linebacker Mical Bailey has been hampered throughout training camp with an injured hip

flexor. Bailey’s injury has become an area of concern for Hutzler, who will sit him out of practice until the team arrives in Hawaii. Bailey is an important cog to the Torreys’ success, catching 34 balls for 657 yards while being a dominant force on the defensive side with 100 tackles and 8.5 sacks last season.

The Torreys have been in mix in the Pacific League for the better part of five seasons, and this year should be no different. A home night game against rival The Bishop’s School on Sept. 16 will launch them into league play, and Hutzler anticipates the same usual suspects (Francis Parker, Christian and Army-Navy) to battling them once again for league supremacy.

Pyrotechnic pyrosomes are, like, totally tubular B Y J U D ITH LE A G A R F I E LD What marine critter has the look, feel, and artificial color that typifies products made of plastic? The thing is so odd looking, I can’t imagine anyone confusing it with any other life form, much less anything living at all. Called a pyrosome, I was delighted to see the gelatinous visitor on a recent dive in the La Jolla submarine canyon. Named Pyrosoma atlanticum, it is the only known pyrosome species to navigate temperate waters. A colony may grow to 4-feetlong, though I’ve only seen them sized in the 1foot and few-inch-long range.

Gelatinous, yes, but a pyrosome is neither squishy nor a member of the phylum inhabited by jellies (Cnideria). A far more structurally sophisticated invertebrate, the pinkish-purplish, rigid tube is classified in the phylum Tunicata.

The word “colonial” aptly describes the tubular unit comprising hundreds or even thousands of outward-facing individuals, each scant millimeters long, and joined at the hip (so to speak) by a gelatinous tunic. The tube’s tapered end is closed; the wider end is open and houses a diaphragm for moving water. Look at the tube’s rough-textured exterior, and you can easily determine the number and location of every individual because each projection represents one oral intake siphon. The siphon’s beating hairlike projections (cilia) pull in water while sieving out plankton delicacies, then the filtered water is expelled into the inside of the colony where it goes out the open end.

Cilia are central to a pyrosome’s existence and not only because they make food gathering possible. The beating hairs keep the water flowing so the members are continually supplied with fresh oxygen for respiration. And cilia allow locomotive action by jet propulsion.

Despite the importance of cilia to a colony, the scientific name, Pyrosoma, has nothing to do with water flow. Instead, it reflects the pyrosome’s ability to bioluminesce: the Greek word pyros for fire and soma for body. When disSEE TIDELINES, Page 11

To get to Leigh Ann Cole’s sculptural installation piece, which fulfilled the practice part of her MFA thesis requirements for the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Visual Arts Program, you had to pass through a doorway in a back building of the UCSD Visual Arts Complex. The doorway was guarded by a sign reading: “Never Before Seen.” On the other side of the doorway was a large highceiling room, dimly lit, revealing an eerie, darken landscape with an other-worldly ambiance.

Although it was fairly dark in the room, you could make out a large object covered with small streams of light. Perhaps it was a large tree; maybe a Monterey cypress bent and twisted by the winds of the Carmel coast. Or maybe it was a large, coiled black snake. Whatever it was, it oozed and twisted from the floor to the ceiling and filled most of the room, and it had a mouth or an opening to its insides.

What light there was came from thousands of feet of fiber optic wire which ran like small streams, sometimes bunching up, sometimes running singularly, sometimes dangling like a single firefly-tip hovering in space. They covered the large object and defined it.

Two things ran through your mind. Either take a quick look and go, or be brave, slow down and explore. There were those who did both. The brave walked as if in a slow motion trance, paused and examined the large object from many angles and vantage points, much like scientists would a crashed UFO. They climbed over connecting wires to get behind it, dodged fiber optic wires, looked at it from the bottom up and the top down, they even gazed into the gaping black mouth.

It was very quiet in the room but the silence had a music SEE COLE, Page 11

The event — always a sellout — raises money to help jockeys injured on the job. (It’s quite a dangerous profession — where else does an ambulance follow you around while you work?)

Founded in 1986 by now-retired rider Chris McCarron and his wife, Judy, with comedian Tim Conway and his wife, Charlene (better known as “Sharkey”), the fund has raised millions to help disabled jockeys across America. For more than a decade, Pamplemousse owners Jeffrey and Bill Strauss have generously hosted the dinner at their eatery (just across the street from the Del Mar Racetrack). After the last race (and a shower), the jockeys trot across Via de la Valle and Jeffrey treats them to a fine meal. When guests arrive for the cocktail hour, the riders serve trays of Pamplemousse’s signature hors d’oeuvres.

Conway brought friend and fellow comedian Bob Newhart this year, and the two quipped with the crowd until dinnertime.

Each of its 350 students receives individual attention and guidance, and is encouraged to participate in programs to learn and develop life skills, find suitable employment and express their artistic abilities in such areas as painting, sculpture, song and dance.

Operating the Center requires financial support, part of which comes from such fundraisers as their 33rd annual “Haute with Heart” fashion show and luncheon.

Held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, the event began with a champagne reception, silent auction and boutique shopping. A flavorful luncheon and live auction followed.

turbed, pyrosomes emit a dazzling blue-green light, which plays out in waves courtesy of photoreceptor cells inherent to each individual. One member is triggered to flash, which triggers their neighbors to flash, which triggers their neighbors to flash. The result is a wave of light rolling across the tube, kind of like fans performing an impromptu wave at the stadium, except a pyrosome’s wave is perfectly timed and stunning to watch.

Sexually speaking, pyrosomes enjoy a mix of reproductive phases. As hermaphrodites, each colony member produces both eggs and sperm, with the latter fertilizing the former to generate an embryo. The end result is conjoined quadruplets. Once a quadru-

plet is released, they continue growing their colony by budding, a method of asexual reproduction.

Though I’ve only them seen going solo or in small numbers, pyrosomes may be found in enormous numbers, making it possible to study their daily vertical migration. Come nightfall, they travel to great depths, then migrate toward the surface for daylight. Depending on colony size, migrations averaged about 1,300 feet, less for the small ones and more for the big ones. In terms of predators, pyrosomes don’t look particularly nutritious but, worldwide, they are a significant food source for many fish and several turtle species. More recent data reveals albatross species and sea lions observed chowing down on pyrosomes. In another study, researchers in a submersible docum e n t e d t h o u s a n d s o f d e a d P.

atlanticum on the seafloor abutting an oil pipeline, suggesting pyrosomes that die and sink quickly to the bottom of the deep ocean may represent a major food resource for both deep sea microbes and larger bottomdwelling organisms. And among invertebrates, copepods, amphipods and tiny shrimps have been found inside pyrosoma colonies, presumably feeding. That these critters support the rest of the ocean’s food chain is reason enough to care about pyrosomes.

CONTINUED FROM Page 9 to it, although you may have wished for some mood setting space-age music. In the dark, the snake-like object seemed to have a presence — it seemed to be a sentient being — which you could feel in your own body.

Chandra Carey, a visual arts Ph.D. art theory student who was on hand for the show, said that means the piece was “embodied.”

Viewing the sculpture, you could not help but think of the “The Home Mother Tree” or “The Tree of Souls” in the movie “Avatar” or the alien mother’s cocoon of eggs in the film “Aliens.” Cole calls this “Cinematic Reference,” a fancy term for thinking of a movie you have seen. She said her fiber optic wire lights were also influenced by the light sabers in “Star Wars.”

Cole said her overall inspiration for the piece came from what astronomers call a black hole —

something that you cannot see, but its effects can be measured, and thus denote its presence.

To build the sculpture, Cole used a ton of steel, which she covered in cellophane, then painted black. Over the top of the cellophane she ran 100,000 feet of fiber optic wire. She has been building it in sections for the past two years. There were 28 sections total but she could only fit 22 into the room. It took her three or four days to put it together and she finished painting at the last minute. It cost her between $8,000 and $10,000, which she paid for with her own money, obtained by selling other of her art works. Cole said the properties and characteristics of the materials she used, such as the natural bend in the fiber optic wire, influenced how the piece turned out.

On opening night, Cole was an unlikely figure. There she stood in the outside patio area, gaily talking to patrons, while one wondered how this “Heidi” with a cute face, long blonde tussled hair, wearing baggy gray sweatpants and a blue sweat shirt

with the rolled up sleeves revealing paint-splattered arms, could have created such a dark, almost monstrous entity, which sat silently, maybe benevolently, but maybe menacingly, in the room next door.

Cole said “she shouldn’t have even be here.”

She said she doesn’t come from an artistic background and has no genetic proclivity. She was born in Roanoke, Va. Her family made its living by making T-shirts to sell at the circus. But she made it through the undergraduate art program at Virginia Commonwealth University, which is supposed to be the best school for sculpture in America. Now she is completing the program at UCSD and headed to Berlin to study art at Humboldt University, for which she has spent the last two years preparing for by studying German.

Cole said Berlin is the new art capital of the world, superseding New York.

SAN DIEGO RESTAURANT WEEK 2010 In its seventh year as San Diego County's largest and most successful dining event, San Diego Restaurant Week was launched with the intention of spotlighting the city as a premier dining destination. Held twice annually, this beloved culinary tradition features more than 180 of San Diego's best restaurants offering fixed price, three-course meals for $20, $30 or $40. There are no tickets or passes required. Food lovers may simply dine out at as many participating restaurants as they like during San Diego Restaurant Week, explore new dining opportunities or enjoy old favorites. Advance reservations are strongly recommended and can be made by calling restaurants directly or visiting their profile online. See more detail below.

LA JOLLA LIVING Restaurant Week opens door to a savory experience

BY LORALEE OLEJNIK | VILLAGE NEWS Six nights, 180 restaurants and infinite culinary possibilities await local diners as San Diego Restaurant Week (SDRW) returns Sept. 19-24.

Running Sunday through Friday nights, diners have the opportunity to select from three-course, prix-fixed menus at restaurants throughout San Diego County at the set price of $20, $30 or $40, depending on restaurant.

“It’s a great community event, and it’s supporting local restaurants,” said Jenna Thompson, a spokeswoman for SDRW. The bi-annual event has proved to be a boon for the local dining industry during lean times, bringing in more than 100,000 diners to participating restaurants the last time it was held in January. According to Thompson, not only do locals participate, but some out-of-town guests plan their visits to San Diego around SDRW to take advantage of the deals offered during this time — and dine out multiple times during the week.

Now in its seventh year, SDRW is sponsored by the California Restaurant Association San Diego Chapter, an organization created to promote restaurants across the state.

No special tickets or passes are necessary to participate in SDRW, though diners are strongly encouraged to make reservations with their desired restaurants in advance, as tables fill up quickly. Walk-ins are welcome, however there is no guarantee they can be accommodated.

During SDRW, a special menu is prepared by each restaurant where diners select their desired appetizer, main course and dessert. In most cases, the arrangement gives the opportunity to try a new restaurant at a greatly-reduced price.

“It is the busiest week in my restaurants,” said executive chef Bernard Guillas of the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. Guillas observed that, in general, the local dining scene has taken a turn for the better as of late, including upticks in business at his restaurants The Marine Room and the Shores.

“The tide has definitely turned,” he said. “But only if you have a product of good value, have a good promotion going on, and make sure to provide an experience.”

The SDRW menu at the Marine Room includes wild Alaskan salmon, filet mignon and Guillas’ signature dessert trilogy.

From the event website, www.sandiegorestaurantweek.com, diners can search by location, cuisine, price, or specific restaurant. Links to participating restaurants are available from the site, as are features such as conducting a search for places with vegetarian options.

Some participating restaurants in La Jolla are The Marine Room, Whisknladle and George’s at the Cove.

Restaurant week gift cards are available for purchase. For a complete restaurant listings and menus visit www.sandiegorestaurantweek.com, or call (619) 233-5008 for more information.

HIGHLIGHTS San Diego Junior Theatre presents the Off-Broadway hit musical “Pinkalicious” to launch its 63rd season.

The show will open Sept.

10 at the La Jolla YMCA Firehouse, 7877 Herschel Ave., and runs through Sept.

26. Performances are at 7 p.m. on Fridays and 2 and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $11 to $14 and may be purchased at (619) 239-8355 or www.juniortheatre.com.

REAL ESTATE Getting Back Your Bucks

Home Improvements That Yield Good Returns Each year, homeowners spend billions of dollars improving their homes. While those improvements are intended to improve the home for all its residents, such improvements are also intended to increase a home's value.

Projects that contribute the most to a home's resale value are the most attractive. This year's "Cost vs. Value Report" from Remodeling magazine examines the relationship between remodeling costs and resale value. The following projects were some of the best for homeowners looking to improve their home and the home's resale value at the same time. * Entry door replacement (steel): Removing an existing entry door and replacing with a new 20-

gauge steel door proved to be a homeowner's best friend, recouping 128.9 percent of its cost at resale. Among midrange projects, this one recouped the most money by a landslide. * Attic bedroom: Converting an unfinished attic space to a 15-by15-foot bedroom and a 5-by-7foot bathroom with a shower also proved worthwhile to homeowners. Such a project recouped 83.1 percent of its $49,000 price tag at resale. * Minor kitchen remodel: For homeowners looking for smallerscale projects, a minor kitchen remodel, which includes installing new raised-panel wood doors on cabinets and drawers as well as replacing older appliances with more energy-efficient models,

boasts a smaller price tag and a solid return. The project, which costs roughly $21,000, recouped 78.3 percent of that cost at resale. * Siding replacement (fibercement): Among projects categorized as upscale, no project fared better than siding replacement (fiber-cement) when comparing recouped values. Replacing existing siding with fiber-cement siding that's factory primed and factory painted recouped almost 84 percent of its initial cost at resale. * Window replacement (vinyl): Replacing 10 existing 3-by-5-foot double-hung windows with insulated, low-E, simulated-divided-lite vinyl windows is also a good bet for homeowners looking to improve their home.
