Lifeguards at odds: Is department getting a good deal for TV show production?
By MARIKO LAMB
he Weather Channel’s airing of “Lifeguard! Southern California” may put a heroic spotlight on local lifeguards and showcase San Diego’s pristine beaches and great weather, but lifeguard union spokesman Ed Harris said there are a few downsides to the show that need to be addressed if another round of filming begins this summer. From overzealous shark hype to distractions from real-life rescues, Harris said the impact of the show on lifeguards and citizens affects the smooth operation of the rescue department, and the lifeguards are simply not getting sufficient compensation for their burden. The “Lifeguard!” docudrama series features an up-closeand-personal look at the lifesaving men and women of Southern California’s beaches as they conduct rescues and law enforcement measures. The show is airing its second season, but San Diego lifeguards have also been stars of TruTV’s “Beach Patrol” and “Ocean Force” in previous years before the city was approached by Encino-based LMNO Productions two years ago. “At first, they wanted to shoot a pilot program, but it ended up being a 13-part series,” said Harris. “There seemed to be a decision made with no contract and no deal.

Ladies of ZLAC — even at 90 — carry on rowing tradition Despite their youthful vigor, ZLAC rowing club members Mary Grandell, 86, and Annette Frank, 90, insist they haven’t been drinking from a Fountain of Youth or sold their souls to the devil. The secret to their energetic and goodnatured demeanor, they say, is blood-pumping rowing workouts, the natural wonders of Mission Bay in the early morning and the camaraderie they enjoy among their ZLAC Rowing Club sisters that keep the so-called “ancient mermaids” so young at heart. Grandell and Frank began rowing at a young age, just as their mothers did before them. The sport
has been in the women’s families for generations, with both of their mothers rowing on ZLAC’s crew six. Grandell, Frank and the rest of their crew continue to row every Thursday morning without fail. “It’s just a release from the stress,” said Grandell. “It’s a lot more fun to go out together, even though you’re not conversing when you’re rowing the boat. Just getting together, getting out and keeping moving [is the important thing]. I think that’s the secret — just get-

A Finnish group of researchers currently based at San Diego State University is launching a study in Pacific Beach with a unique online map-based survey to collect information about how people use the PB area in their daily life, what they value in particular and what they would like to see improved. Beautiful PB Initiative Project organizers invited the Finnish team to assist with the survey. The socalled softGIS-method has been developed in Aalto University, Finland, to collect and analyze data collected from the residents. It has become an established part of Finnish participatory planning, according to the Finnish scholars. It has also been used in Australia and Japan, but Pacific Beach is the group’s first study in the U.S. The scholar group said it does not have a particular research grant but it has an exchange period at SDSU and is conducting the survey for free. The Finnish scholars said the survey is very comprehensive and takes quite a long time to complete, but survey participants can skip some sections if they wish. No personal information is collected and the data will always be represented in a way that anonymity is not endangered. The Finnish scholars stress they maintain very high standards in the collection of data for such surveys. To participate in the survey, visit www.softgis.fi/pacificbeach. — Staff and contribution

News School board OKs sale of Mission Beach site for $18.5M
for your continued support towards our children’s education. Community cash may be redeemed only at participating locations.
Despite a joint last-minute attempt by Mayor Bob Filner and San Diego Unified School Board (SDUSD) member Scott Barnett to save the Mission Beach Elementary School property from sale on May 14 to La Jolla-based McKellar-Ashbrook LLC, SDUSD trustees voted 4-1 to approve the sale for $18.5 million. In a personal appeal to the school board, Filner gave his assurance that he would be willing to work with the school district to secure the prime coastal real estate and preserve the land for public use. “What I would have liked to do — and I think Mr. Barnett thinks we can still do it in a timely fashion — is keep public lands in public hands,” he said. “It seems to me that we ought to be working very closely together on these lands.” Although the city was offered the property prior to auction, Filner said he was unaware of any such sale and apologized for his 11thhour proposal that he feared might have come too late. “I’m embarrassed because I’m here on the day you’re making a decision. I should not do that,” he said. “Frankly, when you notified the city that property was surplus and for sale, it went to a department that did not notify me. Otherwise, I would have gotten involved

a lot earlier.” According to Barnett’s plan, the city would pay $11 million over the next two fiscal years for the property and the school district would retain equity ownership of $7,500,001 — which amounts to one dollar more than the top bid offered by McKellar-Ashbrook at auction May 4. “The city and San Diego Unified should work together with the community to determine shortterm and long-term use of the property, which should include dedicated public uses and public revenue-producing opportunities,” said Barnett in his motion to the board. The motion failed because
of the lack of a second. “We [board members] will be gone in two, four or ten years, but that property is an asset that we’ve had since 1926,” Barnett said. Community representatives from local planning groups and school cluster boards voiced strong support for Barnett’s proposal during the meeting. “This is the biggest land-use change in Mission Beach in 50 years,” said Debbie Watkins, chairwoman of the Mission Beach Precise Planning Board. “This is 2.23 acres of prime real estate in the

News Former colleague plans documentary By KENDRA HARTMANN on Cliff Robertson When Steve Thompson, who for years worked as a publicist in the manufacturing sector, decided to give a career in the film industry a try, he never expected where he would end up. When Thompson left manufacturing because of the decline in jobs on the East Coast, he simply thought he would enjoy working on movies, since he had always loved them. So he got in touch with someone who was currently producing “13th Child,” a horror film based on the legend of the New Jersey devil, and got hired on as a publicist for the film. Not long after production started, Thompson met one of the actors starring in the film, veteran screen star Cliff Robertson. The film itself may not have been a huge hit (it went straight to video), but the friendship Thompson sparked with Robertson lasted more than a decade — until Robertson passed away in 2011. “It was really intimidating for me, being thrown into this environment where I didn’t know what I
was doing. But suddenly, there I was, face to face with Cliff Robertson,” Thompson said. “He was really good to me, helping me through the process [of working on my first film]. We just hit it off.

Seaside Market gears up for summer kickoff The Mission Bay High School Seaside Farmer’s Market kicks off its summer celebration during Memorial Day weekend on Saturday, May 25. The Seaside Market opened March 16 in the parking lot of the school on Grand Avenue. The summer kickoff celebration program includes water-safety information from the San Diego Junior Lifeguard Foundation, including an ocean-safety presentation at noon. Other activities include free face painting for children of all ages and live music from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. by Stevie Q and the Girls, and the Music Generation’s Boy Band from Pacific Beach Middle School. The summer kickoff celebration
is the brainchild of special-events volunteer Jillian Ziska, a new member of the Seaside Farmer’s Market management team. “We are especially excited to be working with Jillian,” said market manager Cori Meara. “From Day One she has brought new ideas and energy to our management team.” The market was established by Mission Bay High alums Pam Palmer Deitz and Meara, both of whom have children who attend MBHS. The purpose of the market is to raise funds for the school at a time when the San Diego Unified School District is financially strapped and cutting back program funding. “Even if you don’t have children in Pacific Beach schools, supporting the Seaside Farmer’s Market and MBHS is part of the solution for PB,” said Deitz said. “Small, everyday acts build up

The Seaside Farmer’s Market takes place every Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and features good from local farmers, artisans and crafters, as well as food trucks and live music.

Barbara Shafer, 79, longtime community activist, PB resident Barbara Helen Andersen Shafer bowed goodbye to this world on Sunday morning, April 14. She was 79. Born in Tacoma, Wash. on Dec. 7, 1934, she was an art major at the University of Idaho, where she met Philip Roger Shafer of La Jolla. Roger was her beloved husband and partner for 57 years. Her first job after graduation was as an illustrator with the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission. She won awards at the San Diego County Fair for her watercolor paintings. A longtime resident of Pacific Beach at 1356 La Palma St. near Mission Bay, Barbara was the proud mother of four: John, Micaela, Cassandra and Laura; and was a grandmother to 13.

San Diego's newest farmers' market will open on Friday, June 7 Market manager Brian Beevers' vision for the new Belmont Park Certified Farmers' Market, located Fridays, 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the large parking lot in front of the Belmont Park Roller Coaster on Mission Blvd. is to create a bustling local goods market for people living in the nearby communities and travelers alike. As with Beevers' three other markets: the UTC Certified Farmers' Market on Thursdays, the Golden Hill Certified Farmers' Market on Saturdays and the Point Loma Certified Farmers' Market on Sundays, the Belmont Certified Farmers' Market will be a platform for local growers that don't use pesticides and herbicides, a socially-conscious fish monger, food artisans, crafters and more to engage with their community.

These are some of the things that she will be remembered for, along with her inspirational courage and determination. She was a leader of the clan, a mother to all. Rest in peace.

not many inches there — a lot of water comes in, then you have to go to shore and empty your boats. In the olden days, you didn’t have all the traffic and you could really enjoy yourselves.” Despite the challenges, rowing remains a constant just as it always has. “Numero Uno is always Thursday morning rowing. That takes priority,” said Frank. The ZLAC clubhouse on Mission Bay acts as a second home for Frank and Grandell, and their rowing sisters are always at their side for support when they need it. “When I lost my mom at about 1 in the morning on the day of my crew meeting, it meant a lot to me to come out and be with my buddies out here,” said Frank. She said it is a special experience being involved in ZLAC, from the camaraderie to the annual activities like the Crew Classic. “I still love going out there every year, working one way or another,” said Frank. “Just to see all these wonderful athletes, all these young people who are dedicated — it’s just a wonderful thing. It’s a wonderful sport.” More than anything, Frank and Grandell said they delight in the sensation they get from the first few strokes that send their narrow shell gliding through the serene morning waters of Mission Bay. “It’s a wonderful feeling,” said Frank. “After you’ve dug into the water with the cast that sends your boat and it sends you along, seeing the sea lions and all the different birdies and jellyfish. It’s almost a spiritual experience.” For more than 60 years — throughout the changes to the bay and the friends who have left — Frank and Grandell have carried on the longstanding women’s rowing club’s priceless traditions — and they intend to continue to do so for the indefinite future. “I plan on doing this forever,” said Frank. “It’s just something special.”

were informed a week or two prior to filming.” In the first year, lifeguard services received an $8,000 quad runner for its participation. In the second year, LMNO Productions agreed to a $37,446 contractual payment to the city, plus reimbursement totaling $1,641 for labor and equipment use. Although that revenue reflects the highest negotiated compensation rate of the seven cities featured in the series, Harris said the city signed a poor deal because of soft costs associated with the production, ranging from retakes, film review and liability issues that were not accounted for. “People don’t like to be filmed when they’re in distress,” Harris said. “You increase your risk of exposure to the filming of very tragic incidents, which could potentially raise liability issues with the city. [Some lifeguard officials are] also concerned that production crews change the way we react to things. It certainly adds stress to the lifeguards who are doing these calls and distracts us from an already dangerous job.” He said there is also no guarantee that city revenue generated by the production will be used for lifeguard services. “We have a really skeleton crew patrolling the beaches, and they’ve turned lifeguards into actors,” he said. “It does not make financial
sense. They need to cover all costs, eliminate impacts on lifeguard staff and pay the city a fair price.” While Harris agreed that there are positive aspects to the show like good tourism exposure, there are exceptions when the show focuses heavily on shark attacks that scare off tourists and ocean-oriented businesses or films citizens when they are most vulnerable. “The problem is the impact on the lifeguards, the impact on the beach for producing it and the lack of funds. It’s not paying for itself,” he said. “We’re not opposed to it if the city wants to do it, but there needs to be some changes to how it’s structured.” In addition to higher quality and more clandestine production equipment to ease the victims’ comfort level, it needs to make fiscal sense for the city, said Harris. “No part of our operating budget should be used to support it,” he said. “At the end of the day, this is the fifth year of the show [including TruTV’s shows], and it really hasn’t had an impact on us budgetarily and it really hasn’t helped us explain what we do.” San Diego Lifeguard Services Chief Rick Wurts, however, said the department has had “excellent experiences” with the documentarybased productions and believes the show is successful in educating viewers about the lifeguards’ roles, promoting safety on the beach and identifying how beachgoers can avoid
News hazards in and around the ocean. “With both production companies, the department has been very pleased with the way in which our lifeguards were showcased, their level of professionalism and the series in general,” he said. “Our lifeguards have recognized the value of the various TV series as an educational outreach to the public allowing them to see in a graphic visual manner the conditions under which lifeguards work and the challenges they face in their everyday duties.” Wurts said he also feels the city is getting sufficient compensation monetarily and in terms of other assets like the enhancement of the city’s ability to attract and retain corporate sponsorship and showcase San Diego as a tourist destination. “During every episode of ‘Lifeguard!,’ San Diego’s beaches and bays are prominently featured to hundreds of thousands of viewers. Having the opportunity to feature our beautiful beaches to a national audience has intrinsic value to tourism and supports jobs and the community,” he said. Wurts and the department’s senior leadership feel they are capitalizing on a rare opportunity to educate a national audience about the key role lifeguards play in the community and display the skill and professionalism of their guards. “Our partnership with LMNO Productions educates the public on the value that lifeguards provide to the community and replaces negative
notions and stereotypes about the role of lifeguards with the image of professionalism,” he said. Regarding allegations of safety concerns, Wurts said his guards have absolute veto power if they believe the film crew will complicate a scene, increase the risk of a rescue or act as an obstacle in any way. In such scenarios, the lifeguard can direct the cameraperson, citizen or other film crew personnel to back off or discontinue filming. “At all times during the filming of the TV series, the production company was strictly supervised by a designated lifeguard officer,” said Wurts. “Both the lifeguards and the production company staff were briefed regarding the absolute need for the film crew to provide appropriate space to the public and our personnel.” While he admits that each lifeguard and citizen has varying levels of comfort and tolerance while being filmed, he said it is no different than when local TV news crews or members of the public film public safety personnel during the course of their duties. “It’s no secret that we’re living in a YouTube world by virtue that almost every person over a certain age has the ability to video public events,” he said. “Within the department, there is an expectation of emergency skills expertise and professional conduct under all conditions.” Lifeguards are not currently in negotiations with the production company for a new round of shows, said Wurts. However, if the show returns for another season, a contract would have to be approved by the mayor before any filming can begin. Should the production company decide to return this summer, Harris said he hopes the lifeguards get a better deal for their trouble. Otherwise, the show is simply not worth doing, he said. “I agreed to do it because they told us we were getting money, and we didn’t get money,” he said. “Now, most of us are over it. The lifeguard union is opposed to it. We did it for free. You put us on your website. We’ve done the whole deal. We’re done.”

In The Neighborhood Volunteers help make Mission Bay Youth Baseball special Mission Bay Youth Baseball is about more than balls and strikes. It changes lives — for the better. The youths and adults forge lifelong friendships through teamwork. They learn about success and failure and get really good at playing the game. Joel Skinner and Billy Beane (of “Moneyball” fame) played on the Mission Bay ballfields and in the major leagues. We have a PONY League and fields we can be proud of because there are people who care. The following are stories about the volunteers who make it possible for the youths in our community to play ball. When the current season started, there were two teams without managers. Stephanie and Scott Bailey quickly volunteered to take a team, even though their sons play at a higher level. The other team was taken over by Greg Carrasco, who played in the professional Philadelphia Phillies organization, and Kevin Keil, a tremendous college player. Neither man has kids in the league. In fact, they don’t have kids at all. They just wanted to pass on what they learned from their playing days. As a child growing up in Pacific Beach in the 1970s, head groundskeeper George Boilard played on the ballfields he now

meticulously maintains. Today, the kids are able to pitch off mounds and play on infields that are the envy of other leagues. Much of the credit goes to Tim Kasper, who worked so hard to get everything ready for the start of the season that he developed pneumonia. But he didn’t let that stop him. It seems whenever something needs to get done, Mike or Lani Ryan step in to do it. They never complain and never seek recognition for their efforts. The same holds true for Mary Melton, the league president. Hers is a thankless job, but she deserves — and gets — the thanks from the parents and players.
If you love baseball, come by and take in a game at McEvoy Fields, located at 2639 Grand Ave., next to the golf course. Grab a hotdog at the snack shop run by the Ham family. If you’re not sure which team is which, talk to Troy Horton, a special kid who knows everything about each team and the players. If you would like to support local youth baseball, contact Melton at (858) 354-3906. There are a number of ways you can contribute, and you would be making a difference like all those featured in this piece. — Lee Silber is a Pacific Beach resident, a best-selling author and the manager of his two young sons’ team, The Exterminators.

MUSTHEAR >> Lots of blues guitarists call San Diego home, but only one has mastered the Billboard charts. Johnny V. Vernazza, a member of legendary combo The Elvin Bishop Group, hit No. 4 on the Billboard charts with the evergreen tune, “Fooled Around and Fell in Love,” going on to back the likes of Van Morrison. Now in solo mode, Vernazza will release his new album, “Lions and Thieves” with a special CD-release show June 1 at the Kona Kai Resort. One of the first events to take place at this newly revamped venue, Vernazza’s album showcase will be chock full of guest stars, including Bishop, Charlie Daniels and Albert Lee. But no matter which tunes he showcases, it’s sure to be a musical treat for fans of blues, rock or just good music. • Johnny V Vernazza: 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 1 at the Kona Kai Resort, 1551 Shelter Island Drive. www.resortkonakai.com.

heart of Mission Beach that is an important city resource. Our beach community would have to live with the negative impact of this sale, and SDUSD, the City of San Diego and Mission Beach will lose a valuable resource if it is sold to developers.” Some community members expressed concern that if the developer builds a high-density condo in that location it would increase traffic congestion and criminal activity in the already densely populated beach community. “Selling this incredible property would be a tragic, tragic loss to the

able.” Thompson kept in touch with Robertson after filming ended. When Gregory Peck, who was a close friend of Robertson’s, died in 2003, Thompson called him to express condolences — and to inquire if he was planning to release a statement to the press. Robertson, who had never had a publicist, replied he hadn’t planned on it, so Thompson offered to help him draft one, sealing their working relationship that continued until Robertson’s death. “He was terrific to work with,”

district, the city and certainly to our community,” said Jennifer Tandy, past chairwoman of the Mission Bay Cluster of Schools. “You will have your one-time dollars for this sale, but we will live with the longtime ramifications of your decisions forever.” In October, the same Mission Beach property drew an auction bid of $16.5 million by the San Francisco-based Carmel Partners, but the property was taken off the chopping block at the last minute by the school board — sparing it only temporarily. This time around, the majority of school board trustees assured Filner and Barnett that they are interested in pursing joint partner-
ships for surplus properties in the future, but they could not justify the risk that would be taken in pursuing a last-minute change of heart for the Mission Beach site a second time. Some said another last-minute retreat may send the wrong message to the real-estate community and the bond market, thus damaging SDUSD’s credibility and handicapping its ability to complete other real-estate sales. “We have to make sure we are doing our fiduciary duty because we are being watched,” said school board trustee Kevin Baiser. “The bond markets are watching, and we have to have our TRANs (tax and revenue anticipation notes)
approved so we can make payroll. I think it’s a travesty and it’s unfortunate that it has come to this point, but unfortunately, there are no other alternatives I can see at this time.” Trustee Marne Foster and board president John Lee Evans said the educational milestones they have worked so hard to achieve, despite difficult financial times, would be at stake should the school district fail to meet its financial responsibilities. “We’ve had to balance our education mission and our financial solvency,” said Evans. “We are trustees for the education of the children of San Diego, and we will do what we can to preserve and
protect their education. That’s why this is so necessary and so important that we accept this bid tonight.” McKellar-Ashbrook principals Chris McKellar, Tim McGowan and Jeff Johnson said they are longtime San Diego residents who are interested in working with the community to craft a plan that is in line with the unique beach community character. “We look forward to working closely with the community, the city and other stakeholders to develop a plan that is in keeping with the unique character of Mission Beach,” said McGowan. “We look forward to a project that everyone can be proud of.”
Thompson said. “Every time I had a question about the industry, he would answer it and he always helped me out when I needed it. Once, a producer was considering me for a film. Cliff called him to endorse me, and not 10 minutes later, I got a call from the producer. He said Cliff’s opinion was the gold standard for integrity in the industry.” It’s that reputation that Thompson is now hoping to preserve in the annals of film history. Along with director and producer Brian Gillogly, Thompson’s next film project will be of a more personal nature: a documentary of Robertson’s life, with focus on both his acting and his love of aviation. Robertson, who was born
in La Jolla and graduated from La Jolla High School, has starred in countless films and won an Academy Award for his role in the film “Charly,” but, Thompson said, there’s not much of a record of his life and accomplishments. “Everyone spoke of what a great guy he was,” Thompson said. “Having seen how he affected so many people and because he was so open to me and helped me out, I would like to do a documentary on him. I want to have something to present to his family.” Thompson is still in the initial phases of planning. The project, he said, will likely cost no more than $200,000 — “A lot to you and me,
but a drop in the bucket in the industry,” he said — and he hopes to crowdfund most of that from funding platform Indiegogo. So far, funding hasn’t exactly caught fire, with much of the $9,500 Thompson is hoping to get from the campaign — which ends on May 31 — still unfunded. Still, he said, he hopes fans of Robertson will come out to support the project. Thompson is also hoping to get support from former colleagues of Robertson’s in the form of participation on the film. He plans to feature clips from some of Robertson’s biggest films, including “PT 109,” “Charly,” “The Pilot,” “J.W. Coop,” “Three Days of the Condor” and “Spider-Man,” and he’s in the process of
trying to get Robertson’s co-stars from such films in front of the camera for interviews about their experiences working with him. “The man was instrumental in my life. He was there for me, and he was there for a lot of other people, too,” Thompson said. “I just don't want to see him lost in history. I don’t know his granddaughter, but I would like to be able to give her something about how great her grandfather was, and to have something to give to all the people who knew him.” To learn more about the documentary detailing Robertson’s life or to donate to the project, visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/cliff-robertsondocumentary.

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 generate 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.
