Funding formally secured to rebuild 88-year-old icon at Mission Beach BY MARIKO LAMB | BEACH & BAY PRESS A portion of Mission Beach’s crumbling historic seawall and boardwalk will receive a desperately needed facelift to restore the deteriorated and patchwork concrete to its glory days of 88 years ago. Thanks to a $700,000 state grant secured through a collaborative effort by city and state legislators, nearly 900 feet of the concrete wall and boardwalk adjacent to the iconic Belmont Park will be completely rebuilt late this SEE WALL, Page 4

Despite cold-weather woes, whale excursions offer an opportunity to enjoy San Diego’s great outdoors BY KENDRA HARTMANN | BEACH & BAY PRESS Despite cold-weather woThough San Diego's weather has not exactly been providing locals with bragging rights, it has offered a chance to prove that, even through record-breaking low temperatures, the city continues to be America’s Finest for all the same reasons. Take, for example, the yearly phenomenon that, rain or shine, cold or hot, takes place just off the coast from December to April. The annual gray whale migration, which sees roughly 20,000 whales pass San Diego on their way to Baja California, is in full effect. Every year, starting in October, the California gray whale embarks on its

10,000-mile roundtrip journey from the Bering Sea down to the lagoons of Baja. The pregnant females — the same ones who made the trip during last year's migration to breed in the lagoons — usually leave first, followed by the males, young adults and juveniles. Covering roughly 85-100 miles a day, most of the entire population will reach their destination by mid-January. To witness the whales’ path through San Diego’s coastal waters, Birch Aquarium, along with several other companies around San Diego — including some located in Point Loma — takes to the high seas to give locals Passengers aboard a whale-watching cruise hosted by Birch Aquarium watch as a Califorand tourists a glimpse of nature’s nia gray whale blows condensed vapor into the air.

High end, mixed-used project taking shape in Crown Point BY MARSHA KAY SEFF | BEACH & BAY PRESS After languishing on the market for the last two years, the old Union 76 gas station property at Ingraham Street and La Playa Avenue in Crown Point is under development. Rising from the site is The Point at Ingraham, a high-end, urban-design, mixed-use project. At three stories, the apartments and commercial space that will add up to 35,000 square feet will house 21 apartments and 2,266 square feet of retail space, possibly with a café and drycleaners. The lot, which measures 22,500 square feet, will include 45 parking spaces behind the building, plus room for bicycles inside and out. Brothers Russell and Scott Murfey, native San Diegans who live in Pacific Beach and who have an office kitty corner to the project, are the developers under their Veritas Urban Properties through Murfey Construction. The Murfeys bought the property from Loma La Jolla LLC for $1.2 million. The Point will include nine two-bedroom apartments, 11 one-bedrooms and one studio. The Murfeys haven’t firmed up any deals for the commercial space, but they said there has been “quite a bit of interest.” The goal is to be finished with the project by the end of this year. “I believe Pacific Beach needs higher-

quality apartment buildings,” said Russell Murfey. “We’re excited to bring this product to the market because it’s different from anything out there.” He said the current trend in Pacific Beach is for young people to come and enjoy the benefits of the beach for awhile and then leave, because there are not enough high-quality rentals. “We believe there’s room for hardworking people who want to stay in PB,” said Russell Murfey. He sees his renters as Generation Y, who are out of school with well-paying first or second jobs, maybe with children, looking for good, entry-level housing. The brothers, who have built other mixed-use products around San Diego, currently are also building a 4,000square-foot home on the water in La

Jolla Shores. Murfey said The Point apartment rates will be competitive with nearby complexes, including Avalon at Mission Bay next door, and the new apartments will include such luxury aspects like hard-surface countertops and European cabinetry and 18-foot ceilings in the commercial space. Murfey said neighbors have been enthusiastic. Joe Splendorio, bar manager at Rocky’s Crown Pub, kitty corner to the project, said he believes the project will help business “if there’s no retail.” He’s also a bit worried about parking. Sal Yacoub, owner of the VP Racing gas station across the street, also sees advantages. “It’s going to be better than it is now,” he said.

Construction worker Jason Williamson gets to work at the site of the new The Point, a highend, mixed-use set of apartments and commercial space being built at Ingraham Street and Photo by Marsha Kay Seff I Beach & Bay Press La Playa Avenue.

But he, too, worries about parking for the new businesses and traffic from the new project’ exits, even though he concedes many customers will be walking anyway. Being a businessman, Yacoub said he’s negotiating on renting a space in the complex for a food court. Murfey said neighbors shouldn’t worry about parking issues. “There are plenty of parking spaces; one per bedroom, three for guests and 13 for commercial,” he said. “That’s more than required by city code. We pulled the retail back from the corner

with an outdoor patio and a seat-wall as a public amenity for social gatherings.” Murfey described himself and his brother as locals who want to do the right thing. “PB has a lot of room to grow into an incredible beach area that’s not just for college kids,” he said “… We’re part of the community and want to be cohesive with Crown Point and Pacific Beach, including our neighbors.” • Veritas Urban Properties, 1571 La Playa Ave; www.veritasurban.com

Airport Authority bonds garner high ratings from major credit agencies Three major credit rating agencies have given high marks to bonds to be issued by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority for continued funding of The Green Build Terminal 2 expansion program and a variety of programs in the capital improvement program for San Diego International Airport. The ratings came from Fitch Ratings, Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s. On Jan. 8, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services assigned its A+ long-term rating to the Airport Authority’s anticipated series 2013 senior airport revenue bonds of about $411 million. In addition, the agency affirmed its A rating on the Airport Authority’s subordinate airport revenue bonds and assigned a stable rating outlook on all bonds. According to a news release from Standard & Poor’s, the affirmation and outlook were based on “dominant market position within the air service area,” “continued very strong financial performance into fiscal 2012” and a “management team that we view as stable and experienced, implementing prudent board policies and guidelines related to financial metrics, debt management, and investments.” On Jan. 7, Fitch Ratings assigned an A+ rating to San Diego County Regional Airport Authority’s $411 million series 2013 senior airport revenue bonds. Fitch also affirmed its A rating on outstanding subordinate revenue bonds. The rating outlook on all bonds is stable. Also on Jan. 7, Moody’s Investors Services assigned an A1 rating to the airport’s anticipated series 2013 senior airport revenue bonds, affirmed its A2 rating on the Airport Authority’s subordinate airport revenue bonds and assigned a rating outlook of stable. In a news release on the rating, Moody’s stated that the affirmation and outlook reflected “resumed enplanement growth and the expectation of The Green Build in 2013 under budget and capital improvement projects (CIP) on budget and schedule.” These ratings are above the median for U.S. airports. — Staff and contribution

WHAT’S HIS STORY? Darryl Baker makes no apologies about being homeless. He gives his address as “Paradise PB on Planet Earth.” Baker said he used to work in oil and gas back east, moving to this West Coast beach area about two years ago. In Pacific Beach, he discovered he could make some money from tourists taking photos by dressing up in a floral hat and lei, and simply enjoy life by the shore. He keeps himself neat and clean, showering in the public bathrooms. “The best part of the lifestyle,” he said, “is the resort attitude. Everyone is laid-back. There’s energy, love and consciousness. I just celebrate. Like they say, ‘Be happy; don’t worry.’” — Marsha Kay Seff

James Kimo Garcia said he’s neglecting his real jobs for what he loves – crafting at the Photo by Marsha Kay Seff I Beach & Bay Press beach.

MUSTREAD Book recommendation from the Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library TITLE: “Gone Girl” AUTHOR: Gillian Flynn SYNOPSIS: “Gone Girl” starts out as a typical murder mystery: the wife is missing and presumed murdered, with all evidence pointing to a guilty husband. However, Flynn’s plot masterfully reveals this is far from your ordinary whodunit. With a modern edginess and fluidity, Flynn unearths Amy and Nick’s five-year marriage revealing a wild, sinister union in which neither can escape their crimes or each other. This is a can’t-put-it-down psychological thriller sure to keep readers thinking after the last page.

The La Jolla Lacrosse Club is once again inviting prospective players in grades first through eighth to try their hand at the sport with team tryouts on Feb. 2 — including participants from Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. Tryouts will take place on the field at La Jolla High School, located at 750 Nautilus St., and are free of charge. Players in first through fourth grades will begin at 10 a.m., with fifthand sixth-graders starting at noon and seventh- and eighth-graders at 2 p.m. If placed on a team, the cost of participation for the 2013 season is $225 for first through fourth grades, and $395 for fifth through eighth grades. The deadline for registration is Jan. 31, and players can sign up at www.lajollalacrosse.com. For more information, email ljlacrosseclub@gmail.com.

James Kimo Garcia said his real job includes construction, painting and moving. But he said he’d rather be “twisting nature” at the beach. Seven days a week, he “recycles, reduces and reuses,” crafting flower bookmarks and crosses from palm leaves at his “office” on the Pacific Beach seawall between Woody’s and World Famous. He’s been enjoying his hobby so much, Garcia said, that he’s let his business slide. Though he doesn’t charge for the bookmarks, he does accept donations, which he said net him as much as $20 a

day. He learned the craft from a Hawaiian, and people buy his products as gifts and souvenirs. Garcia, of Mission Beach, said he doesn’t need much to survive. He said his car and bicycle were stolen, but he still has the fresh air, water, coffee, a surfboard, skateboard and MaryJane, his dog. He said he worked with cellular, GPS and broadband networks 12 years ago. Now — claiming he’s not joking — “Thank God, my family has lots of money.” Twisting another rose with MaryJane asleep on the sand at his feet, Garcia said, “This is just something I do because I love it. I’m chilling.” Someday, he said, he might head to Hawaii to learn to make hats. — Marsha Kay Seff

NEWS & VIEWS LETTER TO THE EDITOR Writer calls lifeguard’s treatment of homeless amputee overzealous

A gray whale awes passengers with a display of its fluke.

WHALES CONTINUED FROM Page 1

longest mammal migration. On a recent whale-watching cruise (Birch offers twice-daily excursions for which it teams up with Flagship cruises), the air was brisk and the seas choppy, but that didn’t stop a couple of whales from awing the crowd with their blows and flukes. Soon after the ship left San Diego Bay, the onboard naturalist narrating the excursion announced a blow — the visible spray of vapor that appears after the whales exhale — had been spotted nearby. The blow, the naturalist explained, is the most common way of finding gray whales in the open water (contrary to some passengers’ belief that the crew uses expensive and fancy equipment to locate the massive cetaceans). When gray whales come up to the surface to breathe, a pool of water is left on top of their head, and as their warm breath hits the cool ocean air, the pool condenses and is expelled above their heads, creating the perfect indicator for their location. Following the “footprint” — the path of calm, glassy water that trails the whales, indicating the direction in which they are swimming — our ship was able to find the whale and witness its behavior as it surfaced for five or six blows and then dove deep for a threeto five-minute “sounding dive.” A few times, the passengers crowding the deck of the ship were treated to a fluke, as the whale made a dramatic display of its tail before beginning its deep descent. Gray whales, while once hunted almost to extinction, have made an impressive comeback, with numbers now keeping them safely off the endangered species list. Growing to about 45 feet long and weighing about 33 tons, the whales live a consistent schedule of migrating to Baja — with most preferring one of three lagoons: Scammon’s, San Ignacio or Magdalena — where they rest, breed and give birth, after which they make the return journey with their new calves back up to the Arctic. When they return north, they spend about five months feeding constantly on bottom-dwelling amphipods as they struggle to put on the six to 12 inches of blubber needed for the next migration (their prime source of food isn’t found in abundance in other parts of the Pacific, so they feed very little during the migration period). Then, the process starts all over again. In all, our cruise viewed a few gray whales (the whales usually travel alone, so seeing groups of them together is unexpected, though it occurs sporadically), along with sea lions and sev-

eral pods of common dolphins. Though passengers aren't guaranteed a whale sighting, the abundant marine life in the waters off San Diego is a treat in itself. At one point as the ship reentered the bay, a group of about 10 dolphins playfully followed the ship, jumping and weaving among each other as if escorting us back home. Though the temperature called for heavy layers and the wind wreaked havoc on some passengers whose bellies didn't take kindly to the high surf, the cruise offered a chance to glimpse nature in all its glory. After all, the gray whales didn't care about San Diego's weather woes. They continued, slow and steady and stopping briefly to allow the humans to gawk at them, on their way to their Mexican vacation.

On Jan. 4 at 10 a.m., a disabled man named “John” in Pacific Beach with no legs and struggling on crutches had his wheel chair stolen in Pacific Beach. Therefore, he asked me to help him carry his closed six-pack of beer two blocks along the boardwalk. A lifeguard (who would not give his name) saw us and yelled at me for helping “John” carry his goods. The lifeguard told me to leave or he would give me a ticket (for what? helping a disabled human? The beers were closed in a bag). As a result, the helpless amputee on crutches fell trying to carry his thirst. There was blood everywhere and the firemen and paramedics had to take “John” to the hospital. I thought lifeguards are supposed to help people and be of service to the public. This lifeguard should be reprimanded for being incompetent and completely unprofessional. I’ve lived in Pacific Beach for 20 years and have never met a lifeguard so rude, arrogant, selfish, prideful, inconsiderate and completely stupid. The victim had no legs and he was struggling, so helping him (“John” asked me to help him) was a “no brainer.”

Letter writer Tony Medina of Pacific Beach is questioning the reaction of a PB lifeguard, who Medina said overreacted during an encounter with this homeless amputee named Courtesy photo by Tony Medina “John” in front of the lifeguard station on Jan. 4.

Every single day, people walk on the boardwalk with closed containers of alcohol and don’t get yelled at and/or given a ticket. I just received the following response from Mr. Andy Lerum [marine safety lieutenant for San Diego Fire-Rescue Department/Lifeguard Services]: “Mr. Medina, Thank you for taking the time to submit your concern. The Lifeguard Division of the Fire-Rescue Department hold its employees to high ethical and professional standards.

My question: Did this [initial] lifeguard violate any professional code of conduct? Is he liable for the victim’s hospital bill? Can the victim sue him?

year. The grant, which was awarded by the California Department of Water Resources’ Local Levee Assistance Program, will help offset the $2.4 million price tag for the project, which the City Council appropriated in its 2012 budget from capital improvement bonds for the design, permit process and repair of the most damaged portion of the 1925 seawall and boardwalk. “This is one of the first things our visitors see, our wonderful and beautiful beaches,” said Mayor Bob Filner during a Jan. 4 multi-party press conference in Mission Beach. “And it’s one of the things our residents use. We literally have crumbling infrastructure. It’s not a good message either to our citizens or our tourists, and we’re going to be fixing this stuff as fast as we can.” In addition to addressing a public safety hazard for residents and tourists who use the boardwalk to jog, walk, bike or skate, repairs to the seawall will also protect the surrounding beach homes and businesses from flooding spawned by wrathful storms or high tidal surges emanating from the Pacific. “This has been a problem for years,” said District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, who has worked with the Mission Beach community on the issue over the last several years. “We’ve made some temporary patches, cut off some of

the rebar that was falling down, but we knew that we had to have a permanent solution because this patchwork isn’t going to get it done.” Faulconer, at the urging of the Mission Beach Town Council, helped kickstart the capital improvement project by spearheading the effort to approve funding for repairs to the historic seawall, an objective achieved in last year’s budget as part of the city’s $100 million infrastructure bond. State Assemblywoman Toni Atkins led the effort on the state level to ensure the city’s grant application got the proper review and was ultimately granted funds, ensuring the first phase of the city’s repair project can now begin.

“It’s really to imagine a more iconic place in San Diego; at the ocean, at the boardwalk in Mission Beach in the shadow of our Belmont Park roller coaster,” said Atkins. “Last fall, all of America watched in horror as Superstorm Sandy destroyed other iconic boardwalks, homes and businesses along the East Coast, and with climate change and the rising sea level that comes with it, we know that it’s just a matter of time until a major storm sweeps our coast and endangers our beachfront, which is so critical to our way of life in San Diego and to our local economy.” The design and permitting processes will begin late this year and construction is expected to begin in 2014.

BY MARIKO LAMB | BEACH & BAY PRESS One Mission Beach beachgoer certainly had something to be thankful for during the recent Thanksgiving holiday, when a dedicated team of San Diego lifeguards saved her life from the wrath of the ocean’s unyielding eightfoot swells just before noon on Nov. 22. “We realized the swell was building when the wave sets consistently began to roll in around eight feet,” said Mission Beach lifeguard Ashley Marino. “This, combined with the tight intervals, high tide and abnormally large winter beach crowd, made us realize we could have some potential for rescues. We had already warned several groups to please stay knee deep, because once they lost their footing, it was pretty tough to find the bottom again.” While on patrol in her lifeguard vehicle, Marino caught sight of four teenage girls being swept off their feet by the surge of a powerful wave. “Instantly, the main tower spotted it and radioed for me to head in,” she said. “[South Mission Beach lifeguard] Jeff Hatfield — who was luckily also there — threw off his T-shirt, grabbed his buoy and fins and sprinted in. I followed about 10 seconds behind.” Three of the four girls found their footing, fought the crashing waves and made it safely ashore. The fourth, however, was in obvious trouble after being pulled into the impact zone where she was pounded by wave after wave, said Marino. “I could see Hatfield swimming toward her, then a wave doubled up, first pushing her under, then pushing Hatfield back a few feet. I ducked under the wave, kicking up into a

swim sprint again until I had caught up to Hatfield. Our victim was only about 10 feet in front when another wave crashed down on us,” said Marino. After five long seconds, the victim resurfaced and the lifesaving duo was ready to float the fatigued and breathless young woman safely ashore using a rescue can. “Once we began to attempt swimming in, we all got pounded by another few waves, pushing us all down toward the bottom,” said Marino. “The girl was jolted out of my arms, but I caught her shirt while we were under and began kicking us toward the surface again. We popped up to the surface all gasping for breath, once again, reassuring [the victim] that it was OK and we were almost in. “It was very difficult to bring her in because she couldn’t hold onto our rescue can due to fatigue, so I had her up against my chest and the rescue can under both of us. Jeff Hatfield had hold of the both of us and was pulling and kicking as I was kicking. After a few minutes of this, we finally felt the bottom with our feet and both struggled to maintain our hold as the current tried to push us back again.” Lifeguard Brian Clark also assisted in the rescue, keeping an eye on the victim from his bird’s-eye view in the observation tower. “This Thanksgiving, I was thankful that Jeff Hatfield and I both happened to be at that spot on the beach just then; thankful for my health and physical fitness, that Jeff and I were able to get to her on time; and thankful that [the victim’s] family got the call she was alive after a very scary experience,” said Marino.

Harris said in the case of the Santa Clara yacht fire in Mission Bay last year, his guards were delayed 16 to 18 minutes in getting to the fire because multiple calls came in at once. “They started on the rescue boat for the original call, then when the second call came in, which was the fire on Santa Clara, they had to come in and get the fire boat,” he said. “We have the only fire apparatus that doesn’t have dedicated staffing.” Other staffing objectives include staffing Windansea with a permanent summer lifeguard and countering the attrition of seasoned lifeguards. “We have a huge attrition problem in the next five years,” Harris said. “The majority of our boating safety officers will be retiring between now and the next six years. That’s a big deal. Historically, it takes seven to eight years to make a level-three [position], and we’ve only done a couple of years, so if we need 25 of them, we’re behind.” EQUIPMENT Two years ago, the lifeguard union lobbied for a new fireboat to replace the existing boat that Harris said could break down permanently at any moment. Although the city secured funding for the fireboat, the boat has yet to be ordered. “It wasn’t until we had a fire that we were taken seriously, especially when they had to tow the fireboat back,” he said. “We got funded for the fireboat in July, but the fireboat hasn’t been ordered yet, so we’re working with the mayor’s office to make them aware of that. It can take up to a year to build it and we’ve needed it the past two years, so it’s got to move forward.” Harris said he is satisfied with the city’s promptness is getting new engines in the other fireboat, ensuring its use for another 10 years or more.

Lifeguard officials said they will be pursuing many new goals for 2013, including more standardized training, needed equipment and other needs.

Another equipment need for lifeguards, Harris said, is a new $450,000 multipurpose cliff rig rated for human loads, also known as Rescue 44. “It’s a multipurpose river rescue vehicle that we can stock with dive gear, take on cliff rescues and goes on most river calls,” he said. “Lifeguards have had a cliff rig for over 40 years with a crane. That vehicle is done.” TRAINING “We’re the only safety service that really doesn’t have an academy that focuses on all the aspects of the job. Ninety percent of what we do is on-the-job training,” Harris said. Although new guards are trained upon arrival into the force, he said there is not a uniform standard modeled similar to the police and fire departments’ academies. “One problem is that we don’t always have the numbers,” he said. “One year we might be hiring two, another year we might be hiring 10, so it’s hard for us to figure the structure out.” Additional goals are recruiting the most adept guards for the safety of beachgoers and encouraging diversity in new recruits.

“The union believes we can make progress in the diversity challenge with proper recruiting. There are phenomenal athletes and swimmers out there, but they don’t know about us and we don’t know about them,” he said. “We have people who are very adept in the water; we just have to reach them.” HEALTH COVERAGE In addition to the launch of a wellness-monitoring program, which was funded by the city last year and slated to begin in the coming months, the lifeguard union is also looking to the city and state for clarification of assumed liabilities and coverages, including whether or not city lifeguards are included in the Peace Officer Bill of Rights like police, fire and county lifeguards, and seeking recognition of assumed coverages from exposure to chemicals in the water and other safety hazards inherent to the job. “Lifeguards have the highest injury rate of any safety service, so we’re looking at these things not only for our own health and wellbeing, but also as our economic saving to the city to prolong our career and prolong our health,” Harris said.

New law mandates carbon monoxide alarms A new state law that took effect Jan. 1 requires all apartments, condos or single-family dwellings with fuel burning appliances, fireplaces or attached garages have a carbonmonoxide detector installed in the home. “Especially in the winter months, the houses are closed up tight and these types of appliances are on,” said San Diego Fire Capt. James Lange. “If these appliances are working well, it’s usually not a problem, but if there’s a problem with the burner or if an appliance isn’t maintained right, you may see signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be deadly.” House appraisals, loans or purchases on homes without a carbon monoxide alarm will not be approved. Lange suggested contacting SDG&E for assistance maintaining or installing carbon monoxide alarms or ensuring that fuel-burning appliances are working properly. — Mariko Lamb

Volunteers rewrite — and right — history of ZLAC Club site architect BY MARIKO LAMB | BEACH & BAY PRESS For years, the headstone of renowned San Diego architect Lilian J. Rice — which rests at the La Vista Memorial Park Cemetery — incorrectly stated her birth year as 1888. According to Diane Welch, official biographer of Rice’s tale, “Lilian J. Rice, Architect of Rancho Santa Fe,” the error occurred when well-meaning volunteers at the cemetery attempted to restore a number of headstones, including Rice’s, after vandals nearly destroyed them. It was then that Rice’s headstone was inadvertently changed from her correct birth date — June 12, 1889 — to 1888. On Dec. 6, however, history was righted, thanks to the efforts of a few local women and their intent to honor a well-respected pioneer in her field. From this point forward, Rice’s correct date of birth will be reflected to designate her place of rest in the cemetery, thanks to Welch, project underwriter Miriam Sellgren, a living relative of Rice by marriage, and La Jolla-based engraving professional Tara Tarrant, who executed the careful etching of the historic stone. “It’s amazing to me how long it’s taken to get this corrected,” said Tarrant. “I feel honored to be part of this historical event. I’m inspired by Lilian’s accomplishments, especially being in a more masculine-dominated industry, as is my work. She has definitely left

an impression on many.” The architect was a trailblazing pioneer of her time, stepping into a profession largely dominated by men. She was the brainchild behind many wellknown San Diego buildings, including the present-day La Jolla home of Mitt and Ann Romney and the ZLAC Rowing Club boathouse on Mission Bay. Her most notable work, however, was as the master architect of Rancho Santa Fe in the 1920s and ’30s. “When Lilian Rice, a National City native, passed away on Dec. 22, 1938, she was recognized and revered — countywide and beyond — as a master architect of the highest caliber,” said

Welch. “Fast-forward to current day and Lilian Rice’s name is not quite so revered. There are many published untruths about her life, work and achievements,” she said. Many vocal historians claimed she lied about her position as the lead designer and resident supervisory architect of Rancho Santa Fe in order to reap more residential business. “This has damaged Lilian Rice’s reputation in recent years, and in so doing, some of her historic work has been demolished,” said Welch. “Along with this negative campaign, her name is universally spelled incorrectly and her birth year is often cited as 1888, the date that appears on her headstone.” Welch hopes through her biographical work and the correction to the headstone, Rice’s reputation will be restored. “It is hoped in correcting this unfortunate oversight that, going forward, Lilian Rice’s birth year will be attributed correctly. And in bringing her name into the spotlight in time for the 74th anniversary of her passing, that her rightful place in our state’s history will be reclaimed,” said Welch. “My aim is to bring her out of the shadows of time and to make her relevant today so that her determination and achievements may inspire others to succeed,” she said.

NFL action at Bareback Grill: not your plain old burger ’n’ beer, mate BY MARIKO LAMB | BEACH & BAY PRESS For football fans hoping to catch the NFL playoffs in a laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere — with the added benefit of enjoying a stellar lineup of craft brews and an award-winning menu of juicy, flavorful all-natural burgers — Bareback Grill might just be the place for you to catch the games and unwind this weekend. The recipe for the beachy burger joint’s renowned burger — the unrivaled bread and butter of Bareback — has traveled more than 7,000 miles to land in the hands of Pacific Beach locals who ravenously savor every last bite of the sumptuous organic beef, fresh Australian lamb or all-natural chicken burgers ooz-

ing with sweet, spicy or savory homemade sauces. Bareback Grill owners Matt Baker and P.J. Lamont traveled to New Zealand eight years ago when they stumbled upon a back-alley burger pub holding a goldmine of the most juicy, flavorful burgers the duo had ever come across. “They [Baker and Lamont] were backpacking and they stopped by a place called Fergburger,” said general manager Kyle Anderson. “They ended up liking it so much that they worked there for a couple days. They pay them a due every year to use the recipes they learned and brought back in their backpack.” Some of the top burger sellers are the Bare Lil Lamb — a fresh 100 percentnatural ground Australian lamb burger

The Bucs lost Senior Jared Kane led MBHS with 16 by one point each time. BY KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI | BEACH & BAY PRESS

“We’re very young and very inexperienced while trying to learn on the job,” said MBHS head coach Dennis Kane. The Buccaneers began the regular season with a 2-2 record and a fourthplace finish in the 66th annual Kiwanis Tournament, posting impressive wins over Serra (61-33) and Liberty (72-31) but followed it up with a 51-33 loss to Mira Mesa, a 55-34 win over Saint Alberta and a 55-52 loss to Willow Glen.

Mission Bay opened Western League play with a 51-48 defeat against University City on Jan. 8 as Jared Kane led the Bucs in with 19 points. The Bucs’ rebounded with a 37-33 win over Scripps Ranch, as Kane led the Bucs in again with 13 points. Dennis Kane is in his ninth year as MBHS head coach. He said he believes this year’s team is “a work in progress,” unlike the previous two years. “[The last two teams] knew what they were capable of, knew their roles

and were unselfish,” said Dennis Kane. “The whole was greater than the sum of the parts but we graduated all five starters from last year. There is no substitute for experience.” Overall, MBHS graduated 7 of the 13 players on its roster from the previous year. Mission Bay’s remaining home games will be against St. Augustine (Jan. 17), Cathedral Catholic (Jan. 18), University City (Feb. 5) and Lincoln (Feb. 14), all starting times at 7:30 pm.

UC High edges MBHS in league opener; Bucs bounce back vs. Scripps Ranch BY ROB STONE | BEACH & BAY PRESS The Mission Bay Buccaneers suffered a tough 51-48 loss to the University City (UC) Centurions in the Western League men’s basketball opener for both ballclubs at UC last week. Despite getting five points from senior Jared Kane and four from senior T.J. Gatdoar in the first quarter, Mission Bay still trailed by a score of 14-11. The Buccaneers got four more points from Kane in the second quarter and outscored the Centurions 8-4 to take a 19-18 lead heading into the locker room at halftime. After the intermission, UC juniors Riley Dickard, Quinn Skillin, Brendan Smith and Michael Sohikish scored two, three, four and seven points, respectively, in the third quarter, as the Centurions went on a 16-7 run to create a 34-26 cushion. That’s when junior Isaiah Milan went to work, outscoring the entire UC squad 9-0 all by himself and giving Mission Bay a slim 35-34 lead at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Kane converted five more baskets (including two free throws and a three-pointer) and junior Andre Petties-Wilson added four points of his own for the Bucs, but it wasn’t quite enough as the Centurions got six points apiece from Skillin and Sohikish and five from senior Devante Pritchett in the fourth period to seal the victory. The Buccaneers were led by the play of Kane who finished with a game-high 19 points and was joined in the Mission Bay statistical column by Milan (13 points, seven rebounds), Gatdoar (six points, seven rebounds), Petties-Wilson (four points, six rebounds), junior Lamarriel Taylor (six points) and senior Sebastian Hassan (six rebounds). In another Western League contest, the Buccaneers got a big 37-33 win over the Scripps Ranch Falcons at Mis-

Petties-Wilson led the Buccaneers with a game-best 14 points and was followed in the Mission Bay scoring column by Kane (13 points), Milan (12 points) and Gatdoar (18 rebounds).

Hair Extensions FAQ How Do You Match Extensions to a Clients Existing Color? If you are blending colors choose extensions that are the same level of color as the clients own hair . If you are changing the level of the client’s hair choose a shade that works well with the skin tone. A coloring process can be done to the natural hair 48 hours prior to application and extensions can be matched to that also. How Do You Customize Extensions for a Client With Thinning Hair ? Use an extension with a smaller attachment bond and a single strand application process so the hair is not damaged and can hold the weight of the extension. This will give natural looking volume and length to thinning hair. What type of hair extensions do you use? Judy uses Great Lengths all-natural hair extensions and prefers these extensions because they are created from 100% human hair and use a unique, application process that attaches a bond of protein the same molecular structure as your hair. This application process does not harm your own hair . While others use techniques such as welding,waxing, gluing or knotting,which strain your hair to a high degree Judy uses a much more gentle principle called modulating. An extremely high- tech method of bonding the hair strand to your own hair. Extensions can be used for volumising, lengthening, colouring or simply adding texture; Judy will offer a free consultation guiding you through your new style. Whether creating a new look, following fashion or with a special occasion on the horizon. Judy is fully trained on how to educate her clients to professionally take care of their hair extensions at home. Judy will recommend hair care products, brushes, combs and appliances for use at home. Hairstyling is very similar to how you style your hair without extensions.

Prop 65 Newspaper Warning L-3 Communications; Linkabit division operates at a facility located at 9890 Towne Centre Dr. San Diego, CA 92121 which uses and emits chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. We do not believe that any person is exposed to these chemicals at levels constituting a health or safety risk. However we have not made a formal determination that actual exposure levels are below the Proposition 65 "no significant risk" levels for carcinogens or "no observable effect" level for chemicals known to cause reproductive harm, and we have not performed a risk analysis to determine the precise amount of exposure that any individual would receive over a 70 year period. Proposition 65 therefore obligates us to provide this warning to potentially effected individuals. Further information may be obtained by contacting
