SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER GROUP

Group challenges Belmont Park lease

Some residents over the fence on lifeguard tower

Lawsuit claims city's approval was illegal By DAVE SCHWAB The ink on a lease extension for Belmont Park is barely dry and the action is already being challenged in court. The person challenging the City Council-approved lease is a familiar foe: attorney Cory Briggs, who has sued the city repeatedly, including a successful suit that blocked the San Diego Convention Center's expansion by challenging its financing. On behalf of a nonprofit group called San Diegans for Open Government, Briggs filed a lawsuit in Superior

LIFEGUARD TOWER TRIFLES

Neighbors opposed to the citing of a new lifeguard tower in South Mission Beach continued to press their case before Mission Beach Town Council, arguing they were denied due process in vetting plans for the new facility, which is larger and located elsewhere than originally planned. Project construction on the new lifeguard station started this spring, and a foundation is being built on the north side of the current tower. “As the number of visitors to our beaches increase, the facil-

Pacific Beach Middle, YMCA to join forces Goal is to improve recreational facilities By DAVE SCHWAB The groundwork has been laid, as part of a joint-occupancy agreement, to build a new YMCA and recreational fields and facilities at Pacific Beach Middle School. Now it’s time to begin raising funding for the estimated $15 million project. That’s the message Peninsula YMCA executive director Vince Glorioso delivered at Pacific Beach Town Council’s May 20 monthly meeting at Crown Point Elementary School. Glorioso said the proposed YMCA expansion comes at

a pivotal time as the beach community’s demographics are changing. “We’ve seen an emphasis on schools in PB, with families saying, ‘We want to have quality education in schools in our community, and we want to raise our families here in PB,'” Glorioso said, adding, “More families are choosing to raise their kids in PB.” Those reasons could make the joint-occupancy agreement between the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) and the YMCA’s combined fields, SEE PBMS, Page 8

Summer fun with Bianca – dodging giant obstacles at VAVi's Wipeout Run By BIANCA WEINSTEIN

VAVi SPORT & SOCIAL

Over this past weekend, the Pacific Beach-based company VAVi Sports & Social brought the game show “Wipeout” to a new level. The Wipeout Run is a 5k course featuring obstacles inspired by the hit TV show. The race is held each year at the Del Mar Fairgrounds ($10 parking fee) with start times anywhere from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For $65, you can have the “Wipeout” experience as seen on TV. VAVi started out as an adult recreation league for sports like kickball, flag football and beach volleyball and has since grown into a company with more than 90,000 active young professionals from all over San Diego who come play on and off the field each year. The organization brings together fun, like-minded individuals with the perfect hybrid of topnotch sports leagues and premier social events. VAVi also puts together large-scale events such as the Heroes Brew Fest, Del Mar Mud Run and the Wipeout Run, which draws participants from all of San Diego County and beyond. The Wipeout Run event travels to 22 cities across the country, San Diego being one of those stops. The race includes 12 challenge obstacles: Dope on a Rope, Tumble Tubes, Monkey Business, Smash

Surfrider chair discusses San Diego chapter's role in maintaining beaches and bays ate about, oceans, waves, and beaches, can come out and play a particular role in it. You don’t have to clean the beaches. Do other things. It’s all for the same good.

Art Gala raises $34,000 to protect area coastlines By THOMAS MELVILLE About two weeks ago on the deck at Paradise Point Resort, just as the sun started to set over Mission Bay, Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter chair Mark West looked over his right shoulder to see the golden hour glow growing. “See that? That's what it's all about,” he said, as he waved his arms toward the bay. “That's why we're here.” “Here” was at the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter’s 15th annual Art Gala, which raised $34,000 to help protect the region's coastline and directly benefit the organization’s education, outreach and advocacy directed at protecting local beaches. The event, which was held Friday, May 8, celebrated ocean advocacy while showcasing local artists and raising funds. “It was a thrill to see so many enthusiastic activists and supporters gathered for the event,” said new San Diego Chapter manager Mandy Sackett. While the activists and supporters bid on artwork, nibbled on orange chicken and drank Stone IPA, West was working the room making and re-establishing connections for the nonprofit. Right before sunset, the Beach & Bay Press caught up with him to discuss Surfrider and the role it plays in maintaining the area's coastal areas.

BBP: What is the annual art gala? MW: The 15th annual art gala at Paradise Point in Mission Bay was a fantastic event. This event is our largest fundraiser that we have each year, so it’s really our biggest event that we hold, and we get all the people from all over San Diego to come out and talk about Surfrider.

This is a California treasure that so many people take for granted, but we don’t. We work to protect our oceans, waves, and beaches so everyone can use them.

ing about the drought and how we can plant ocean-friendly gardens out there that are really California specific; they require no water, and they actually have less run-off as well. BBP: What does Surfrider do for the bays? MW: This bay (Mission Bay) has beaches all around it. We actually hold clean-ups right here in Mission Bay that are cleaning the beaches of litter before it gets into the bay. This is a large ecosystem that flows into our ocean, and if we can clean it here, then it cleans it out in our ocean, and we’ve worked really hard to make sure that we are removing pollution from this area.

BBP: Why is the Surfrider Foundation important? MW: Our mission is to protect the ocean, waves, and beaches through a powerful activist network. What we do is we actually take all people who are passionate about our ocean, our beaches, our bays, and get together and really work toward BBP: How would you describe the cleaning them up, preventing polluBBP: Do some people think SurfridSurfrider Foundation? tion from getting into them. er is just about surfers?

Green space an issue with Mission Beach condo project Former elementary school site being redeveloped By DAVE SCHWAB Mission Beach Town Council in May voted overwhelmingly to urge the city to require developers of the old Mission Beach Elementary School site to reconsider their condo project’s design, calling upon it to add a true community park instead of the narrow landscaping strip proposed. “We don’t want (condo) fourplexes,” Debbie Watkins, chair of Mission Beach Precise Planning Board, told the council May 13, noting the community’s plan discourages four-plexes. “We’d like to have them (condos) reconfigured and (have developers) come up with a different plan other than having a strip-mall park.” Developer McKellar-McGowan is planning a 63-unit, for-sale condominium complex on the 3.25-acre site of the old Mission Beach Elementary School, off Mission Boulevard, at 825 Santa Barbara Place. The school, closed in 1996 because of declining student enrollment, is to be razed to make way for condos.

The resolution passed May 13 “strongly opposes the substitution of a required park on the 2.23-acre parcel with a ‘green strip’ along Mission Boulevard.” “We remind the city that the initial requirement was that developing the entire former school property site, consisting of three distinct parcels, would mandate a .35-acre population-based park for the Mission Beach community,” said the resolution, which also stipulates that a landmark Ficus tree onsite should be preserved and included within the new neighborhood park to be created. “This is the largest land-use change in Mission Beach in 50 years,” argued Watkins, noting, “It’s not a done deal.” Pointing out “the City Council has the final say,” Watkins said the council’s decision can be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. Watkins characterized the developer’s proposal to create a long, narrow linear park along Mission Boulevard as being “not usable.” Noting 400 signatures have been collected in two months opposing the project as presently construed,

Watkins urged the City Council to hold the developer’s feet to the fire in insisting on their developing more “open green space in perpetuity” onsite. Watkins argued the layout of the McKellar-McGowan project ought to be reconfigured, ensuring the community gets the new park acreage to which it is entitled, including preserving the landmark Ficus tree. The community planner said an environmental impact report for the project is to be released “any day.” She cautioned, however, that the environmental document is some 600 pages long and that the public will have only 30 days in which to respond to it. Warning that putting in a new four-plex condo project in the heart of Mission Beach would be “a nightmare with the one-way streets,” Watkins noted that responding to the environmental impact report will give the beach community “our opportunity to speak out.” In 2013, San Diego Unified School District Board voted 4-1 to accept a bid of $18.5 million for the old Mission Beach Elementary School site.

park, which includes numerous restaurants and bars, a roller coaster and amusement rides, as well as extensive beach-oriented retail. Briggs’ suit alleges the City Council’s approval was illegal on grounds that it violated Proposition G, a 1987 voter-approved initiative restricting non-recreational uses at city-owned Belmont Park; the California Coastal Act; the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the San Diego City Charter. The suit contends Prop. G was violated because it provides for public park and recreation uses but specifically prohibits “retail and commercial uses, except within the historically rehabilitated Plunge pool and related buildings.” “The lease agreement authorizes a long list of ‘improvements’ that were not included in the Development Plan, such as catering facilities, amusement rides, games of skill, etc.,” states Briggs' lawsuit, which insists violation of Prop. G “deprives the benefit of public access to Mission Beach Park for recreational uses.” The suit also insists CEQA was violated because Belmont Park activities “have the potential to cause significant adverse impacts on the environment including air quality, noise and greenhouse gas emissions.” The lawsuit concludes that “the project must be subjected to environmental review before final approval.” Briggs’ suit also argues that the City Council’s approval of the 40year lease extension “failed to comply with the San Diego City Charter rendering the approval null and void.” Responding to Briggs’ lawsuit, Gerry Braun, director of communi-

The lawsuit concludes that ‘the project must be subjected to environmental review before final approval.’

cations for the City Attorney’s Office, said: “Although we do not share Mr. Briggs’ narrow interpretation of Proposition G that would ultimately require closing Belmont Park, we recognize that there has never been a judicial interpretation either way. The mayor and City Council were fully advised on the legal issues before approving the lease and took steps to reduce the city’s risk while allowing Belmont Park to remain open. Our office will defend the lawsuit and the ability to keep Belmont Park open.” The City Council approved Belmont Park’s lease extension April 6 by a 7-2 vote, with council president Sherri Lightner of District 1 and Councilman David Alvarez of District 8 dissenting. In an interview with Beach & Bay Press right after the council vote on the Belmont lease extension, former District 2 Councilman Ed Harris, now a San Diego lifeguard, referred to the action as “a really bad deal for the taxpayers because we were not getting fair market value.” Harris warned then that the council has “put together a deal that completely flaunts Prop. G. I expect that we (city) will be sued.” More recently, noting that “everybody knew that this (lease) likely violated Prop. G.” Harris added his prediction had come true that the council vote “would be another giveaway of taxpayer money.” Contending San Diego has “a long history” of making deals with developers that leave the city and taxpayers on the short end, Harris added, “If we don’t get fair value for our assets, the burden falls on the taxpayers. Every dime that we don’t bring in on our assets falls to the middle class and smallbusiness.”

Business Everything for experienced world travelers to backpackers is at Traveler’s Depot in PB By DAVE SCHWAB It’s like a mom 'n' pop REI. That’s how employee Elisa Masso described Traveler’s Depot, a fixture at 1655 Garnet Ave. in Pacific Beach for 29 years. Traveler’s Depot carries just about everything imaginable for its travel-savvy clientele, from lightweight gear to fast-drying underwear. “We try to have everything you need for your trip, whether you’re doing backpacking or leisurely travel, river cruises, a lot of things — luggage, books, maps, toiletries,” said employee Betty Elmer. Elmer walked through a huge library section divided by world regions with travel-oriented books and maps on nearly every country, including offbeat stuff like “The Dog Lover’s Companion to the San Francisco Bay Area.” “We try to have the best publishers, the most up-to-date books,” she said, adding, “We have books on cities as well.” Top-quality brands carried by the travel outfitter include Delsey, High Sierra, Travelpro, Baggallini, Kipling, Lipault, Eagle Creek, Craghoppers, ExOfficio, Rick Steves, PacSafe, Travelon, Lewis N. Clark, Scottevest / SeV, Keen, Teva, Klean Kanteen and more. The shop’s travel products include specialty travel clothing and hats, shoulder bags, security purses and totes, luggage and packs, garment bags, luggage tags and straps, TSA locks, luggage scales, plug adaptors and converters, RFID wallets, passport covers, money belts and neck pouches, pillows and blankets, packing cubes and folders, compression bags, leakproof pouches, toiletry kits, security solutions and travel guides. The front of the shop has become something of an outdoors section,

featuring cutting-edge products like Hydro Flasks. “We recommend those because they keep things hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours,” said Elmer. “I use mine every single day to keep hot tea in or to keep water ice cold at the beach,” said Masso. Masso said the store serves all ages but is increasingly seeking a younger demographic. “We’ve had a much older clientele for years,” she said. “We’re trying to really target younger people as well, young travelers and backpackers, trying to get word out.” Both women said one of the big hurdles, always to be cleared, is letting people know who — and where — Traveler’s Depot is. “Every single day,” Masso said, “someone comes in and says, ‘I walk

or drive by all the time, and I never knew this was here.' Then they say, ‘Now, I can’t live without it.’” “They’ll even live in PB,” said Elmer, “and they’ll say, ‘I’ve been here for 30 years, and I didn’t know you were here.'” “Come on through,” Masso said.

Pacific Beach-based tour company merges with team building firm Two of San Diego’s largest tour and corporate team building companies have joined forces. Where You Want to Be Tours and Out of the Ordinary have merged all operations, with both companies offering participatory events for corporate and leisure groups. The company's events enhance corporate team building, problem solving and group collaboration through enlightening experiences. Pacific Beach residents Darlynne Reyes Menkin and husband Marc are co-owners of Where You Want to Be Tours. Darlynne, a former news reporter, said: “Whether you’re on a scavenger hunt, biking tour, sailing regatta, bike build or SEAL challenge, we’re all about

bringing our clients to a better place. We’re blessed to have a company that makes a conscious effort to inspire and uplift our guests.” “Our adventures focus on bringing people together and showing hidden spots they wouldn’t normally find on their own,” said Marc. “Many team-building clients are in town attending a conference at the San Diego Convention Center, so they’re looking for a unique activity in addition to seeing a Chargers or Padres game. Thanks to our awesome reviews on Yelp, Trip Advisor and Facebook, our clients know they’re in for a fun time. We have a unique, quirky style that gets even the most ‘corporate’ people acting like big kids.”

“It’s a wonderful marriage between two proven companies that have excelled in the corporate and leisure markets,” said Carrie Elwood, Out of the Ordinary’s founder. “The combination creates a powerhouse of fun adventures. We will remain Out of the Ordinary and will take you Where You Want to Be.” The company will share assets, sales and operational teams. They will retain individual brand names, websites and social media accounts. Popular activities include Team Building Adventure, Hidden San Diego Beaches, Biking Tours and Hiking San Diego.

Mission Beach student named University of San Diego valedictorian By THOMAS MELVILLE Vianey Coronado Angeles found out in mid-April that she had been named valedictorian for the University of San Diego School of Business Administration, which was great news until she started thinking about the graduation speech. “I wasn't even thinking about being valedictorian,” Angeles said. “I was just doing my homework and studying and trying to do my best. Plus, I hate public speaking and I knew there would be a speech.” That thought is a bit ironic for Angeles because she loves languages and speaks four of them – Spanish, French, Italian and English. The accountancy major also majored in French and minored in Italian. “I think languages are absolutely incredible and that you breach cultural barriers and create connections that would not normally be made if you couldn't speak the same language,” said Angeles, who moved to Mission Beach from Mexico at age 10 because her father wanted her to learn English and to receive a better overall education; “Ever since I was young, I wanted to learn new languages.” Her proficiency with languages will come in handy when she starts her new public accounting job this October at KPMG, which has a global reach. “I definitely want to take

pool and athletic fields project a bit easier to sell to the community. SDUSD staff has been in discussion with the Peninsula Family YMCA since 2009 to develop a jointoccupancy facility on the Pacific Beach Middle School campus. In August 2011, the board adopted a resolution of intention to consider proposals to lease property for joint occupancy for development, operation and maintenance of recreation facilities and a community center at Pacific Beach Middle School. On Dec. 13, 2011, the board received and accepted a single proposal from the YMCA, and district staff thereafter entered into discussion with the YMCA regarding the terms and conditions pursuant to which the facilities will be financed, constructed, operated and maintained. Noting that redeveloping a portion of the middle school campus for athletic and recreational facilities is “a very natural fit with the YMCA model,” Glorioso said plans are to develop multi-use athletic fields with a perimeter track and a field house for restrooms and storage, as well as a “full YMCA facility and a pool.” The new YMCA facility would be built where the middle school’s

advantage of the fact that KPMG is a huge international firm and see where it takes me,” she said. Angeles, who has a 4.0 grade point average, will graduate on May 24 summa cum laude. At the University of San Diego, she received the Excellence in Accountancy Award and the Delta Sigma Pi Scholarship Award. Angeles graduated from the Francis Parker School in 2011. “My high school was pretty small, and I liked that,” she said. “That's what I liked about USD, small classes and being able to have one-onone time with professors.” While attending USD, Angeles decided to stay at home and commute to college. “I went in the morning and stayed all day so I didn't miss out on college life. And I liked being able to come home to Mission Beach. I love it here. You can do a little bit of everything.” She credits her parents, Luis

Coronado of San Diego and Vianey Angeles of Mexico, with instilling in her a strong work ethic and the motivation to always give your best. “They've always been extremely supportive of me and told me to try my best. There's nothing you can regret about trying your best, whether you succeed or not. It's a good family motto.” As for her speech on Sunday? “I'm going to focus on everything we shared and how these memories will always be with us and how in the end we all succeeded, which should be celebrated because we have shown excellence and we have succeeded.” The University of San Diego is a Catholic institution that was chartered in 1949. The university enrolls approximately 8,300 undergraduate and graduate full-time equivalent students.

resource building stands. Glorioso said a 2012 marketing study done by a consultant, who interviewed 700 community members at random by phone, indicated a community need for new recreational facilities. “The key components of interest in the study were found to be healthy lifestyles, aquatic programming, community space and senior programming,” Glorioso said. The YMCA director added the YMCA portion of the project would be the lion’s share of its cost. Pointing out that the joint-occupancy agreement is in the “very early stages,” Glorioso said if all goes well that there is about a five-year time horizon for completion of the project, with both the La Jolla and Peninsula YMCAs participating. “A fundraising campaign of this magnitude usually takes between two and three years and with construction, that brings it to about five years,” Glorioso said. Under the original proposal accepted by the school board, new joint facilities will be constructed in two phases. Phase I would involve construction of a synthetic turf field and parking lot and would remodel an existing building on the campus to be converted into a community recreational facility. Phase II would involve construction of a community recreational center to include a

new building (rather than converting the existing building) and, additionally, a pool. Under the proposed agreement, the district will lease the portion of the Pacific Beach MS site on which the recreation center will be constructed to the YMCA, and the YMCA, at its expense, will construct, operate and maintain the recreation center for the benefit of district students and the community. YMCA will also have use of the field during non-school hours. The school district will have use of the joint facilities other than the community center during the school’s hours of operation and the YMCA will have use of the joint facilities during periods when the school is not in session. The recreation center will be separated from the school campus by a physical barrier and locked gate. The term of the initial agreement is 40 calendar years effective on the commencement date. The agreement provides for an option to extend the term an additional 25 years with terms and conditions and subject to board approval at the time the option is exercised. Either party may terminate the agreement with 90 days, written notice to the other party to be effective at the end of the fiscal year in which the agreement to terminate is made.

Biking to work benefits your body and community

5 ways to stay safe when biking

By DAVE SCHWAB

May 29 is San Diego’s Bike to Work Day, and if you are considering pedaling to work, here are some tips for a safe commute: 1.) The Right Bike - Make sure your bike “fits” in relation to your height. If it’s an older bike, a local repair shop can tune it and do a safety check for you. 2.) A Good Helmet - A helmet that fits properly will protect you in case of a fall. A helmet is required for everyone under 18 years old and recommended for everyone else. It must meet certain legal standards. 3.) Pick a Way to Go - Pick a route in advance with the help of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Regional Bike Map or Google Maps. SANDAG’s iCommute program also provides information about how to sign up for a bike locker and take your bike on transit. 4.) Rules of the Road - It’s important to learn and follow the rules of the road. The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition also offers helpful courses for riders. 5.) Safety First - When biking on roadways, ride with the flow of traffic, stay alert and wear brightcolored clothing and reflective gear at night to make you more visible.

BIKE TO WORK DAY

San Diego's Bike to Work Day is Friday, May 29, and in Pacific Beach and Point Loma there are pit stops on the way to work for cyclists and two on the way home from work. Originated by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956, Bike to Work Day is a part of Bike-toWork Week, which is in turn part of National Bike Month. The annual event, held during spring across the United States and Canada, promotes the bicycle as an option for commuting to work. Pacific Beach Library, 4275 Cass St., VAVi Sport and Social Club, 1940 Garnet Ave., and Mixte Communications, at 4827 Voltaire St., will have morning pit stops from 6 to 9 a.m. “We'll have games, prizes and food provided by The Wine Pub,” said Mixte CEO Jamie Hampton, noting the bike train from Mixte to downtown will begin at 7:45 a.m. Hampton said Mixte’s ride will be at a casual pace and is meant for those biking to work for the first time to get them comfortable on their bikes. Later, a Bike from Work Day event will be at The Wine Pub, at 2907 Shelter Island Drive, from 5 to 8 p.m. Bikers will be greeted with an extended happy hour and high-fives. Leading up to Bike to Work Day,

When: Friday, May 29 Morning pit stops: Mixte Communications, 4827 Voltaire St., 6-9 a.m.; Performance Bicycle, 3619 Midway Drive, 6 a.m.-6 p.m.; Moment Bicycles, 2816 Historic Decatur Road, 6-10:30 a.m. and 46:30 p.m.; Pacific Beach library, 4275 Cass St., 6-10 a.m.; VAVi Sport and Social Club, 1940 Garnet Ave., 6-10 a.m. Evening stop: The Wine Pub, 2907 Shelter Island Drive, 5-8 p.m. Download the free local San Diego Bikes

national, regional and local bicycle advocacy groups, like the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, have been promoting the special day extolling its significance. “The day gives people awareness and education on alternative means of transportation,” said coalition executive director Andy Hanshaw. “It’s part of a national day — and movement — which has evolved into bike month all of May.” Noting cycling is “a great way to get around,” Hanshaw pointed out that upward of 9,000 San Diegans took part in last year’s Bike to Work Day.

“The expectations are even higher this year,” he said, noting that “more and more people want to bike more in their daily lives.” A daily bicycling commuter himself, Hanshaw added that “We’re asking folks to take the pledge to go by bike to work on May 29, and we’re asking them to register online at gobybikesd.com to be able to win cool prizes and other good things.” According to studies, as many as half or more of the American work force lives within five miles of the workplace, which means it can actually take less time to get to work by biking instead of driving. Cycling

enthusiasts add biking can also lower stress levels and boost immune function. Some reasons for commuting to work by bike: • It saves money. A 2012 Forbes magazine article reported that "The average annual operating cost of a bicycle is $308, compared to $8,220 for the average car.” • It serves a dual purpose. By commuting on two wheels instead of four, the rider will arrive at his or her destination while getting an effective cardiovascular and strength-building workout. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

Rolling Stones weekend at Beaumont’s By BART MENDOZA It’s not every day that the legendary Rolling Stones come to San Diego, so as might be expected, there is excitement in the air as their May 24 date at Petco Park approaches. For Stones fans, the best bet in local clubs will be three days of Jagger/Richards tunes happening this weekend at Beaumont’s. On Sunday, May 24, at 9 p.m., the venue will feature December’s Children, with guitarist David Fleminger, while Monday, May 25, will showcase the Jones Revival, with an appearance by Rhythm Authority on the morning of Tuesday, May 26, at 11:30 a.m. With tickets for the Petco show priced into the hundreds of dollars, this weekend of music at Beaumont’s may be the best option for fans on a budget to hear songs such as “Satisfaction,” “Jumping Jack Flash” and “Start Me Up” one more time.

great albums and even scored hits of their own, including 1984’s “Absolute Perfection,” but on these club nights, they focus on crowdpleasers, from “Brown Eyed Girl” to “Pride & Joy.” While there will be few set list surprises, Private Domain’s shows are never less than fun, years of road work culminating in a set that’s honed to bar band perfection.

Carlos Santana is one of the world’s all-time great guitarists, so it’s only natural that he has a few tribute bands making the rounds in his honor. One of the Southland's finest, Viva Santana, performs at Humphrey’s Backstage Live on Saturday, May 23. Whether you’re a fan of Santana’s wonderfully lyrical, fluid guitar work on such hits as “Game of Love” or “Europa,” or even his hit cover versions of tunes such as “Black Magic Woman” or “She’s Not There,” Viva Santana catches every note and nuance of their namesake's classic One of San Diego’s longest- sound. running bands, Private Domain, returns to the Kona Kai on Friday, Sadly, as the years go by, we are May 22. Playing a set of classic rock losing more of our music icons, but and soul, the group is the perfect there is still time to bask in the musisoundtrack to a night at the venue's cal brilliance that is saxophonist Joe dockside nightspot, Vessels. Marillo. The band has recorded many On Sunday, May 24, Dizzy’s will

host a special performance honoring Marillo on his 82nd birthday. A mainstay of San Diego’s music community since 1974, Marillo has recorded numerous worthy discs and played countless concerts, but it’s as a teacher/mentor that he has perhaps made the biggest impact. It’s estimated more than 500 students have been helped along in their musical careers, with countless more influenced by his sound and his work ethic. San Diego is fortunate to have such a man among its residents. If you are a jazz fan of any stripe, this opportunity to take in a set – and to thank one of our community's pillars – should not be missed.

gone in those decades, but Cage remains dedicated to its craft, turning out music that’s hard and heavy. The names in Cage may change, the years may pass, but for lucky fans, the song remains the same.

Blues fans should make a point of catching a set from blues singer Missy Anderson on Thursday, May 28, as she performs at Tio Leo's. Backed by guitarist Heine Anderson and a topflight band, Anderson has more than a touch of soul to her voice, bringing to mind a grittier Tina Turner.
