PB BANK HIT BY ROBBERS ON TWO STRAIGHT DAYS — Police and federal authorities are probing robberies at the same bank location within a two-day span. In the first case, investigators are looking for a man who robbed the Wells Fargo Bank at 1302 Garnet Ave. on May 3. Police said the suspect walked up and handed the teller a demand note at about 1:30 p.m. The teller gave the man an undisclosed amount of money before he fled on foot northbound on Fanuel Street. The suspect was described as a Hispanic male in his mid-60s, about 5 feet 8 inches with a medium build with slicked-back hair and a full beard. The suspect was wearing a dark blue shirt, jeans and was carrying a blue backpack. In a second bank hit at the same location, a man identified by police as Roosevelt Bracks, 33, walked up on May 4 at about 9:30 a.m. and handed the teller a demand note. The teller gave Bracks an undisclosed amount of money. As Bracks was fleeing, the teller contacted the security guard and informed him that the male leaving the bank just robbed the bank. According to police, Bracks crossed the street and hand-

ed a female the money. The female fled south on Fanuel Street. The security guard apparently walked up and detained Bracks until police officers arrived to arrest him. Bracks was positively identified by the bank teller. The second suspect is described as a black woman in her early 30s, about 5 feet 5 inches, with straight hair. She was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with a red liner and gray shorts. The police department’s Robbery Unit continues to investigate. DISCOVER PB “COAST OF PB RESTAURANT WALK” — The annual “Coast of Pacific Beach Restaurant Walk” will take place on Tuesday, May 21 between 4 and 9 p.m. The cost for the event is $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the walk, and includes samples from 27 local restaurants in the Pacific Beach area, along with special deals from local retailers along the restaurant walk route. The proceeds generated by the event will go toward Pacific Beach neighborhood cleanups.

San Diego Lifeguard Services sergeant and union spokesperson Ed Harris said San Diego lifeguards are good at spotting emergencies and capable of treating all types of medical situations, but the massive crowds make it harder during the hot summer months. “The more crowded it is, the more challenging it becomes for us to spot people in distress,” Harris said. “As it gets more and more crowded, more things happen.

Craft Crawl promotes drinking without driving A few local businesses are spotlighting Pacific Beach as a burgeoning craft-brew capital through monthly Pacific Beach Craft Crawls, a safe way to scope out some of the beach community’s local craft beer hubs. Bare Back Grill, Cali Kebab, Ciro’s Pizzeria & Beerhouse, TapRoom and the High Dive have partnered up to share a craft-pub crawl experience that highlights the best craft brews Pacific Beach has in store, as well as offer a free ride among the five establishments on the first Wednesday of each month. The event was modeled after North Park’s Drinkabout to promote an often-unseen aspect of PB’s bustling beach district.

“The craft beer scene in PB is just as good as anywhere else in San Diego. We don’t get a lot of recognition for it in the craft-beer community,” said Ciro’s owner Kenny Casciato. “Plus, we have something that a lot of things that other neighborhoods don’t. We have the Pacific Ocean right there.” The Pacific Beach Craft Crawl started in November as the brainchild of Bare Back Grill’s bar manager Rory Farrell. The idea behind the concept is threefold: to promote Pacific Beach’s craft-beer scene, to thank local patrons who support the local merchants, and to encourage safe habits among their clientele. “We’re all part of the community.

All the money we generate as a small business gets spent here,” Casciato said. “Of course, we want a little recognition as a craft-beer scene, but we also want to do something good for the people that keep us going.” He said although some patrons inevitably come to the beach bars to drink heavily, Casciato, Farrell and the rest of the craft-brew crew genuinely care about the wellbeing of their patrons and hope they can help take the danger out of having a good time. “We really want to show that we, as small business owners, care about the people who patronize our establishment. We want them to be safe when they’re drinking,” said Casciato.

Permit denied for event encouraging ‘BYOB’ A City Council committee voted 4-0 May 1 to deny an appeal of the FreePB organization, which was denied a special-event permit for a 14-hour “Leisure Olympics” at Crown Point Shores, in which participants were to be encouraged to bring their own alcohol. The July 27 event is also described as a fundraiser, but without the permit, alcohol cannot be served or consumed in public.

Robert Rynearson, the director of FreePB.org, and his attorney, Corey Briggs, appealed a decision by police to the Public Safety & Neighborhood Services Committee. Police Chief William Lansdowne told the committee his department denied the group’s permit because allowing people to bring their own alcohol would result in minors mixing with adults who are drinking. “They can have their event if they

have a beer garden,” said Lansdowne, who explained that other organizations have a fenced-off area where adults can legally drink in public, but those under 21 years of age are not admitted. Another police official said only beer or wine can be consumed in a beer garden and not other types of liquor. Rynearson said he didn’t want a beer garden because people should

Each month, the five local business owners pitch in to rent two buses that loop among the five local venues every 15 minutes from 7 to 11 p.m. “At each venue we try to do something unique,” said Casciato. “If nothing else, we want to be there for the community to get around safely.” He said his local community is more multifaceted than it may appear on the surface. “It’s not just the five places on the Craft Crawl. We’ve got Turquoise Coffee doing some really cool things with their craft-beer lineup and The Coaster in Mission Beach,” he said. “PB has a lot of layers, and this is one of those layers that needs to have a spotlight on it.”

not feel like they can only “consume an adult refreshment in a cage.” He also said he felt families should feel together and not have to separate to drink alcohol. Briggs said it was unfair for the city to deny the permit with the idea the group had no successful track record of similar events. Officials have to grant permits before organizations can have a successful track record, said Briggs. Four people, including three who live in Pacific Beach, spoke against the event and said they supported

the police department’s viewpoint. District 6 City Councilwoman Lorie Zapf made the motion to deny the appeal, and it was seconded by District 9 City Councilwoman Marti Emerald. Also voting to deny the appeal were councilmembers David Alvarez and Frank Kersey. “I, personally, think a beer garden is a good idea,” said Zapf. Emerald agreed. “Keep the kids away from the alcohol. Have a beer garden,” said Emerald to Rynearson and Briggs as the meeting concluded.

News ‘Jazz on the Green’ to thrill listeners, raise funding By BART MENDOZA Recognized on both a local and national level, it’s no secret that Mission Bay High School’s music program is one of San Diego’s treasures. Generations of musicians have honed their skills at the school since original music director Rey Vinole founded the program in 1974. Helmed today by alumni Jean-Paul “JP” Balmat, the program continues to expand, with the school’s best musicians taking part in up to 40 performances around the state each year. Funding for the arts is still a struggle at best. So on Saturday, May 18, the MBHS Music Department will hold its third annual “Jazz on the Green” mini music festival at the school. The New Orleans-inspired event will include all three of the school’s music groups, including the Jazz Ensemble, the Concert Jazz Band and the Preservationists, with the Euphoria Brass Band closing with a tribute to New Orleans. Open to all ages, the event includes crafts, activities for children, swing dancing and food from local restaurants. Additionally, the school’s farmers market will offer up a variety of treats.

JAZZ FOR A GOOD CAUSE Mission Bay High students perform during a previous “Jazz on the Green” event, set for Saturday, May 18 this year. COURTESY PHOTO

“This event is really a kind of showcase for Mission Bay and the beautiful quad area that we have,” Balmat said. “In the past, Jazz on the Green has really brought the community together. It’s a nice cross-section of people that attend: parents from middle schools, elementary schools and, of course, the high schools, as well as people who just read or see information about our concerts in the local press. It’s wonderful, all these different people coming to celebrate these young musicians at a really great

He’s also quick to note a lot of public support. “The community has been amazing,” he said. “They helped send our students to New Orleans last year and make it a point to be at our perfor-

have people lined up in buckets all the way out the door, and we could do a hundred in a day or 50 in a day,” Harris said. While many medical emergencies at the beach are handled by lifeguards, who are all emergency medical technicians, San Diego Fire-Rescue medics are called for more serious emergencies. “Fortunately for us, San Diego Fire has a very good medic program,” Harris said. “Medics are always pretty close for us. We get medics on the scene usually within five minutes.” For low-level issues — like a wound that requires stitches or a sprain — Harris said lifeguards direct people to local hospitals and urgent-care facilities. Anderson Medical Center, located at 1945 Garnet Ave., is one urgent-care facility with a lead physician who has more than 20 years of treating beachrelated injuries — be it surfing

injury or sea-life-inflicted wound. With a background in sports medicine and as SeaWorld’s medical director, Dr. Ken Anderson has treated everything from surfers with dislocated shoulders and fin cuts to animal trainers with stingray stings and seal bites. “I got a call from University of San Diego the other week because they had a student who had been bitten by a seal, and they were like, ‘What do we do with this?’” he said. “So we talked about that type of thing. It’s a different type of thing to be exposed to, but I have developed experience with that over the years.” A physician with experience like that is invaluable to the beach community, especially in the summer. “A big focus of ours is urgent care and open access,” Anderson said. “That’s why we have the extended hours and why we don’t make appointments. It’s because we want to take care of injuries and minor emergencies, and we do very well at that.”

Communities unite to repair police storefront Neighbors in Pacific Beach and La Jolla united on April 27 to tackle desperately needed repairs to the San Diego Police Department’s (SDPD) substation in Pacific Beach. From painting the exterior façade to landscaping the grounds, Mission Bay and La Jolla Rotarians, students involved in Rotary’s Interact Program and local community leaders got their hands dirty for a good cause on “Rotarians at Work Day.” “This storefront is so valuable for our police officers here in the beach area, and it’s in desperate need of repair,” said District 2 City Council-

This is totally a broad-based community project and such a labor of love. That’s why it’s so important, and it came out beautifully.” The restored storefront serves as an operational facility for police officers to write reports, use the restroom or take a lunch break without having to make the trek up to the Northern Division police station in University City. “We cannot do enough for the men and women who keep us safe,” said Gardner. “If they leave our community in La Jolla and Pacific Beach to go all the way up to UC, they’re out of service for at least 45 minutes just driving to do what they have to do. Here, it’s 10 minutes from La Jolla and it’s right in Pacific Beach.” SDPD Northern Division Capt. Brian Ahearn said he was overwhelmed by the generous contributions of so many community mem-

You would not believe the difference,” he said. “It is now a tremendous environment — very conducive to getting some good, hearty work done by our cops so they can get back in the field and handle those very important calls for services in our community. “I think ‘thank you’ is just inadequate. It just doesn’t say enough,” he said. “I don’t know if there’s anything I can ever say to express my gratitude as the commanding officer

MBHS Academic League makes big gain to make playoffs By KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI The Mission Bay High School (MBHS) Academic League team finished the 2013 season with a playoff appearance, advancing to the semi-final round before falling to the Coronado Islanders on television on Time-Warner Cable. Coach Barry Dancher said he was pleased with the overall performance of the MBHS Academic League squad after a disappointing finish to the 2012 season, when the Bucs dropped their last regular season match and narrowly missed qualifying for the playoffs. “We did really well this year. If I knew at the beginning of the year that we would make the playoffs, considering our competition, I would be very happy. We had a very good year,” Dancher said. The Academic League is a 5-on5 countywide competition among 60 public, private and charter

schools at three levels: varsity (juniors and seniors), junior varsity (sophomores and juniors) and novices (freshman and sophomores). The county is broken up into three divisions: central, southeast and northern, with MBHS in the central division. MBHS finished the 2013 regular season with a 7-1 record and qualified as a wild-card team, despite tying Madison for the division title. The Bucs lost the division on a tiebreaker because of a last-second, one-point loss to the Warhawks. Despite the success the past few years, Dancher will be looking toward the 2014 season as a rebuilding year, with five of the seven varsity level players graduating. The graduating MBHS academic players will be team captain Brett Linley and fellow seniors Brett Ambrose, Daniel Fennell, Yewande

Maraiyesa and Thomas Schoettle. The other varsity players who participated in the semifinals are juniors Jerrilyn Goldberg and Tierra Gonzales. In preparation for next year, Dancher said he decided to get his younger players some experience in the regular season. “Several of our juniors and underclassmen got some playing time with the varsity while the ninth- and tenth-graders were able to participate with the junior varsity. We’ll have some new kids next year and you never know who will turn up,” Dancher said. In five years under Dancher, the MBHS Academic League team has grown from seven players to around 25 today, and has been able to draw students from all over the city thanks in part to the schools’ international baccalaureate satatus.

News JETPACK >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

While floundering in the shallows, it can be hard to imagine that people start soaring over the bay early in their first session, but Jetpack America president and coowner Dean O’Malley said most people tend to get the hang of it quickly. “That’s one of the things we try to emphasize, how accessible it really is,” O’Malley said. “We’ve had customers from age 16 up to 85. We had three deaf customers who flew with us. We had an amputee. We’ve had a quadriplegic that we flew. It really is one of those things that if you give it a fair shot, in five minutes, maybe 10 minutes, we can have you flying. We’ve had a 95 percent success rate of getting first-time people up and flying.” O’Malley said the activity took off when Jetpack America CEO John Morris partnered with the manufacturer, Jetlev, and offered the first customer flights in Newport Beach in August 2011. Since then, the company has expanded to Honolulu and San Diego. “We’ve probably flown close to 5,000 people,” O’Malley said. “It’s definitely growing quickly, and we’ve taken a lot of people out to experience what it’s all about.” The concept was developed by inventor Raymond Li in 2001. The inspiration — not surprisingly —

FLY THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE The jetpack takes some skill, which participants learn in a training session prior to flying. DON BALCH

came from a James Bond film. “It was James Bond movie ‘Thunderball,’” O’Malley said. “He saw the jetpack in that movie and he was blown away by it. It stuck in his head and he always wanted to figure out a way to make that work and make that a reality.” O’Malley said it became a reality when Li decided to abandon traditional jetpack designs and develop a jetpack powered by water pressure. The constant flow of water not only allows for longer flight times, but also makes it safer. “If something goes wrong and you drop in the water, it’s not going to be life threatening, O’Malley said. “It truly does make it a recreational

jetpack that anyone can come out and try. We’ll have splashdowns, people will come crashing down a little bit, but it’s all part of the learning process.” Jetpack America’s Mission Bay flight center opened April 6, but the team has been working since last fall to ensure everything will run smoothly with a trained staff in time for summer. O’Malley said he expects a rush in the summer as the majority of customers have really enjoyed the experience. “It’s not a one-and-done activity. It does kind of get you addicted,” O’Malley said. If someone becomes seriously addicted, he or she could purchase a jetpack for $68,500, but Jetpack America does have some more affordable options to continue flying. It offers monthly memberships, returning pilot discounts and group rentals. If a customer buys the video package and achieves more than 200 views on Youtube, he or she gets a free flight. Jetpack America is located in the Mission Bay Sportcenter at 1010 Santa Clara Place.

A little taste of New Orleans comes to San Diego via the 12th annual Gator by The Bay Festival, taking place May 10-12 at Spanish Landing Park. The celebration of Crescent City culture is expected to draw more than 6,000 people per day, serving up over 8,000 pounds of crawfish and providing all manner of entertainment, from zydeco dance lessons to Mardi Gras-style parades. The big draw is the music and, as always, organizers have put together a bill of tare and national talent, with more than 70 performers across six stages. On hand will be zydeco player Geno Delafose and French Rockin’ Boogie, bluesy Norteno band, Los Fabulocos and harmonica legend James Harmon. Local favorites include Robin Henkel, Mercedes Moore, Chet and The Committee, The Bayou Brothers, Sue Palmer and dozens more. The festival’s highlight will likely be the return of bluesman Elvin Bishop, reuniting with guitarist

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN Book Signing At Old Town Gift Co. To Celebrate National Train Day The Old Town Gift Co. will host a book signing to celebrate National Train Day Sat., May 11, featuring Reena Deutsch, author of “San Diego and Arizona Railway: The Impossible Railroad”. Free to the public, Deutsch will be present to sign copies of her book from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Named the Impossible Railroad by surveyors, the San Diego and Arizona Railway overcame a series of disasters including the Mexican Revolution, a prolonged lawsuit, floods, World War I, labor shortages, a tunnel cave-in and a lethal pandemic. Once it was up and running, the line was intermittently in and out of service and later sold and renamed the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway. To this day, the Impossible Railroad still faces constant challenges, how-

ever, freight and trolley service currently operate and tourist excursions are offered at its Campo, Calif., depot. The Old Town Gift Co. is located within Fiesta de Reyes right in the heart of Old Town San Diego State Historic Park.

Fiesta De Reyes Implements The Round It Up America Program Casa de Reyes and Barra Barra Saloon – two restaurants that anchor the cornerstone concession, Fiesta de Reyes, in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, are spearheading the Round it Up America program to generate funds for the Living History programs in the State Park. A national charitable giving program, Round It Up America provides restaurant patrons the opportunity to donate to charities by rounding up the total of their check

amount when settling their restaurant bill. These donations are then contributed to three pre-selected charities that enhance and strengthen the surrounding community. In the case of Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, the charities that have been selected are the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, the Pro-Start Student Culinary Program and the Living History in the Park programs. “Living history programs are an important part of our State Park,” said Chuck Ross of Fiesta de Reyes.“We want everyone who visits Old Town to experience an active and lively park where history comes alive and, as leaders in the business community, we have a responsibility to support these critical programs. Round It Up America gives us the perfect way to allow the community to gen-

erate that support for just a few pennies when they dine here.” About 75 percent of funds raised through this program will benefit the Living History programs in the park. Funds will also be used to bring back San Diego County fourth-grade students that would typically come to Old Town each year so that they can experience the living history programs that Old Town has to offer. The history program for fourth graders was part of the elementary school Off-Campus Integrated Learning Experiences, which was cut by the San Diego Unified School District in 2010 because of budget constraints. The remaining 25 percent of funds raised will be donated to the two other causes. For more information about Round It Up America, visit www.rounditupamerica.org.

MBHS student to play in national soccer tourney Mission Bay High School senior Nick Schoettle will participate in the Region IV Presidents’ Cup from June 12-16 in Boise, Idaho, the U.S. Youth national soccer tournament, after his club NADO 16 and under (BU16) captured the California state championship in late April after placing first out of 51 teams. Region IV includes teams from Western states like Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Washington. NADO BU16 completed the regular season with an 8-1-1 record and outscored its opponents 21-1.

In the state tournament, NADO BU16 had to win six rounds of playoff games and culminated in a 2-1 victory over Apple Valley in the finals. The BU16 club finished ninth last year when it was at the BU15 level. The BU16 club has also had success in notable local tournaments this year after winning the Nomads Coaches Tournament in March, finished as a finalist in the Nomads College Showcase in November and had three draws in the North Huntington Beach Cup in August. — Keith Antigiovanni

LIVEMUSIC >> Girl music power, prime blues and a CDrelease weekend party By BART MENDOZA Does the world need another girl with a guitar? The answer is yes, at least when it comes to a talent like Sara Groban. Appearing at Brick by Brick on May 16 as part of a battle of the bands, Groban has a nice way with a melody and a wonderful picking style that sets her miles apart from the typical coffeehouse fare. When she plays solo acoustic tunes, she’s good. For example, songs like “Promises” deserve a wider listen. But its when she plays with her band that things really light up. The bill also includes Locjaw and Tin Star, so no matter which band takes home the trophy, it’s the audience that are the clear winners. THE SARA GROBAN BAND: Thursday, May 16 at BRICK BY BRICK, 1130 Buenos Ave. 8 p.m. 21 and up. Free. www.brickbybrick.com There are plenty of blues bands to go around, most with decent guitar players. So what truly sets a band apart is its songs selections. Such is the case with The Charles Burton Band, performing at Tio Leo’s on May 16. Guitarist Burton is a solid player, but it’s his range of music that will

BATTLE OF THE CHANTEUSES Sara Groban will compete in a battle of the bands at Brick by Brick on May 16. COURTESY PHOTO BY FRANK RODRICK please the audience. Mixing in the obvious like “Shake Your Hips” by Slim Harpo with obscure gems like “Gangster of Love” by Johnny Watson, and adding choice recastings like the Classics IV hit “Spooky,” The Charles Burton Band delivers a fine set that’s both satisfying and avoids cliché. THE CHARLES BURTON BLUES BAND: Thursday, May 16 at TIO LEO’S, 5302 Napa St. 9 p.m. 21 and up. Cover TBD. www.tioleos.com Local music fans won’t want to miss a special CD-release weekend at Dizzy’s on May 17 and 18.

Mixing elements of rock, soul and electronica, Hills Like Elephants, may have only been together for a little over two years. But in that time, it has managed to make an impact as big as its name.

Definitely a great live act, make sure to check out its San Diegocentric YouTube videos to get the full effect of this band’s musical sensibilities and humor. Songs like the danceoriented track, “Ninjavitus,” not so much burst as glide from the speakers with melodies so catchy you’ll find yourself humming the tunes long after you’ve played the album.

“Every year, it seems like we have less to clean up,” said Adam Meyer, reflecting on a recent graffiti cleanup event in Pacific Beach. “That’s how we know it’s working. This year, we had 75 volunteers and we wiped out 1,042 graffiti ‘tags.’ For comparison, back in 2010 we cleaned, removed or covered up more than 1,300 of them.” Meyer is vice president of the Pacific Beach Town Council. For the last six years, the council and the PB Presbyterian Church have joined forces for the Graffiti Cleanup Day. Teams of volunteers met April 27 at the church, where they received a bucket full of supplies to remove paint, stickers and marking pen ink. Each team got training on how to remove or cover up graffiti and stickers. “We couldn’t have done it without Motsenbocker’s Lift Off,” Meyer said. “They’re a San Diego company, and

Gregg Motsenbocker lives in PB. The company makes environmentally safe products for removing graffiti and stickers.” Meyer said the group also got donations of gear from other businesses, as well as cash donations from residents. Town Council member Marcie Beckett put things in perspective. “Getting rid of graffiti in our community is not just a matter of pride,” said Beckett. “Research shows that when the appearance of a neighborhood declines, the behavior of people declines, as well. For example, when there’s more graffiti, there’s more litter, too.” The result of the annual event has been a reduction in graffiti, said organizers. Volunteers tend to clean up graffiti as soon as they see it, instead of waiting until the following year’s event. “[Students] learned how graffiti affects their neighborhood, and they

take pride in how their neighborhood looks,” Beckett said. “That feeling of connection with their community means they’re less likely to litter or do any tagging themselves.” To report graffiti, call the city’s Graffiti Hotline at (619) 525-8522 or fill out a graffiti report online at www.sandiego.gov/graffiti/forms/sighting.shtml.

mances. Organizations like the Mission Beach Woman’s Club, Friends of Pacific Beach Secondary Schools and our longtime sponsors, America’s Finest City Dixieland Jazz Society, have played a huge part in our success.” Balmat said he considers music programs to be a vital part of a student’s education, teaching them to “work hard in music so they can become better, not so they can pass a test.” “Jazz also teaches a lot about their history,” he noted. “Jazz is an American-born art form that follows the progression of some of our most challenging times in our country. It’s important for me that students see the connection. It makes them more educated performers.” While most concert guests will only notice the fine music being played on the day, Balmat notes its all an intensive team effort. “It’s hard!” he said good-naturedly. “There is a lot of work practicing, setting up performances, working individually with kids, fundraising for new supplies, keeping up our image in the community and state. It never stops. I go nonstop all day, every day. There is always something to do. I’m just lucky I work in such a rewarding profession and the students really make it worthwhile.” JAZZ ON THE GREEN: Saturday, May 18 at Mission Bay High School, 2475 Grand Ave. at noon. All ages. $10 adults, $5 students/children. www.missionbaymusic.com.
