OTL swings into action for annual sandfest

INTO THE GREAT BEYOND

By JOHNNY McDONALD

Let the frolic and games begin for the 61st installment of the Old Mission Beach Athletics Club (OMBAC) Over-the-Line championship, but with an asterisk. The city’s asterisk: everyone attending or participating must be over 21. The two-weekend ball-and-bat double elimination jousts begin the weekend of July 12-13 on the sands of Fiesta Island when contenders flex their muscles. Games start at 7:30 a.m. and continue until dark

Brazilian Festival almost fails test of committee

BATTER UP! Teams of men and women are getting fired up for the annual Over-the-Line Tournament at Fiesta Island over two weekends on July 12-23 and July 19-20.

A car show, a fire run and the Polish Festival all got big thumbs-ups by a local special-events recommendation panel, but the annual Brazilian Festival was nearly turned down because of fears the event is outgrowing its Pacific Beach venue. That was the verdict of a Pacific Beach Special Events Committee that met June 17 at Discover PB to review plans for special events held annually in the beach community. The committee also heard a request by Pacific Beach activist Marcie Beckett, who recommended against e-cigarette booths being allowed at public events because they are unregulated and that encourage smoking. But the board tabled her request because of uncertainties over potential legal liability regarding First Amendment issues. “Charger” Steve Lordigyan pitched the commit-

Folks sound off at ‘Meet the Mayor’ roundtable By DAVE SCHWAB It came across clearly at the June 25 “Meet the Mayor” session in Pacific Beach that residents are big fans of the oversize-vehicle ordinance (OVO) but want — and expect — that more be done to bring local control to liquor licensing to reign in increasingly troublesome bars and alcohol-driven crime. District 2 City Councilman Ed Harris introduced Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who is conducting a series of public meetings throughout San Diego’s diverse neighborhoods, to get public input on residents’ views and issues. Harris, a city lifeguard of 25 years, said he’s gone GETTING TOO BIG FOR ITS BRITCHES? The Special Events Committee of the Pacific Beach Town Council nearly gave a thumbs-down recommendation to the annual Brazilian Fest in PB because it might have outgrown its local venue.

Rules governing oversize vehicles appear to get green light Local reaction to the oversizevehicle ordinance (OVO), which is to take effect citywide in August, has been positive, with the general consensus being it will rid streets of unwanted vehicles while preserving quality of life. “This gives people a clear way of complying with the ordinance while getting oversize vehicles off the streets,” said Mayor Kevin Falconer, noting the ordinance is affordable for citizens who will be able to get temporary permits for recreational vehicles online. “The oversize vehicle ordinance really addresses safety and quality

of life issues,” said District 2 City Councilman Ed Harris. “We already have a great deal of density in our beach communities and that density only increases during summer months.” Harris said having oversize vehicles parked on city streets for weeks at a time “creates problems.” “Visibility is reduced for drivers, and access to driveways and alleys is often compromised,” he said. “Parking is already a challenge for folks coming down to the beach just for a day.” District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner agreed.

“This could provide some relief for parking-impacted beach communities and other non-coastal neighborhoods that have pervasive problems with oversize vehicles,” Lightner said, adding the biggest complaints her office hears from local residents is that vehicles are too big for neighborhoods, causing public safety, quality-of-life and environmental problems. The City Council adopted the revised Neighborhood Parking Protection Ordinance on June 17, said city public information officer Bill Harris. He said the new ordinance bans overnight parking of “oversize vehicles, non-motorized vehicles and recreational vehicles.” Oversize vehicles are defined as any vehicle, including any attached trailers, vehicles or loads thereon, that exceeds 27 feet in length and 7 feet in height.” The new ordinance also allows owners of recreational vehicles to obtain a permit allowing overnight parking within one 24-hour period. Harris said the permit process is limited to individuals offering proof of residency in advance of purchasing the permit. Permit applicants — once confirmed by city staff — may purchase up to three consecutive permits (72 hours). Applicants may

purchase up to 72 days of permits per year. Recreational vehicles are defined in the city’s vehicle code as “any camp trailer, camper, trailer coach, or house car, any boat, dune buggy, all-terrain vehicle or other motorized or towed vehicle designed, maintained or used primarily for recreational purposes.” The new OVO ordinance also includes the opportunity for the city treasurer to implement an automated permit system. That system will “go live” via the city treasurer’s website on July 8, allowing users to provide appropriate proof of residency. Permits will become available for purchase on Aug. 1. The city will adhere to a grace period for citations of permit violations between Aug. 1 and Aug. 16. All citations issued after the grace period will include a first notification with no associated fines. Subsequent violations will result in a $100 fine to vehicle owners. Joe LaCava, president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) and chairman of the San Diego Community Planners Committee, an umbrella organization of the city’s 40-plus planning groups, hailed the OVO as a major step forward. “The oversize-vehicle ordinance,

or more correctly, the Neighborhood Parking Protection Ordinance, is a long-overdue change to parking regulations that will protect residential streets, as well as streets in our commercial and recreation areas,” LaCava said. “The ordinance prevents blocking sightlines for cars, pedestrians and bicyclists by requiring oversize vehicles to be set back at least 50 feet from street intersec-

Man bound for trial in revenge-porn case By NEAL PUTNAM After hearing four days of testimony, a judge on June 16 ordered a Pacific Beach man to stand trial for 31 counts of identity theft, extortion and conspiracy involving a “revengeporn” website demanding money from women in exchange for the removal of nude photos from a second website. A trial date will be set July 16 for Kevin Christopher Bollaert, 27, who remains free on $50,000 bond. He is charged with 28 counts of identity theft, two extortion charges and a conspiracy count. Bollaert has pleaded not guilty. Authorities took down his two websites in 2013. He listed a Pacific Beach P.O. box as a home address. A number of women testified in the preliminary hearing that their nude photos appeared online, apparently submitted by former lovers who sent the photos to Bollaert.

Attorney Alex Landon, who represents Bollaert, argued other people sent the photos to Bollaert and that Bollaert didn’t do any of the photography himself. Landon said it was “the public” that created the website’s content. “It’s a forum for these individuals,” argued Landon. “It may be distasteful, but is it illegal?” San Diego Superior Court Judge David Gill told Landon that use of the content is unlawful, no matter where it came from. “He knew these people would be demanding that it be taken down,” said Gill. Deputy Attorney General Tawnya Austin said Bollaert posted the names, phone numbers and other information of women and then demanded money in exchange for the photos to be taken down. “The victims clearly suffered,” said

Austin. “He tried to ridicule these people,” she said, adding the website was “not a bulletin board where ideas of freedom of speech” are debated. Bollaert’s website was called ugotposted.com, and many of the women who wanted their photos taken down were directed to another website called changemyreputation.com. The websites started on Dec. 2, 2012 and were taken down in last September. Mark Kelly, an expert witness, testified he analyzed the data and cited an email Bollaert sent to a co-conspirator, writing, “Did that bitch pay us back?” when checking on payment. Kelly testified the websites were for adults only and people had to agree to the website’s terms in order to view them.

Get ready for the usual summertime gas spike With summer here, fun — and higher gas prices — are both likely right around the corner. There are a variety of reasons why gas prices in Southern California fluctuate throughout the year, especially during summer, when consumers take to the roads in droves for seasonal vacations, according to experts and observers who track such statistics. One reason for higher summertime gas prices, of which many consumers are not aware, is that gas, too, is seasonal in California, said experts. “Our state’s air-quality requirements mandate a special blend of gasoline not used by many, if any, other states in the summer, so basically the California supply is pretty much limited to what California’s 17 oil refineries produce,” said Marie Montgomery, spokesperson for the Automobile

Club of Southern California. Though every year is different, Montgomery said there are seasonal trends in fuel consumption and gas price which tend to repeat over time. “How it usually goes is that we get a big spring price hike almost every year,” Mongtomery said. “That price spike usually peaks in May, before Memorial Day.” The reason why spring is sprung where gas price are concerned, Montgomery said, is that springtime is when refineries switch over from one blend of gasoline to another. “We have two blends of gasoline, a summer blend and a winter blend,” she said. “The winter blend is for cooler temperatures and summer is for warmer. There’s a certain date, that varies by region, when gas stations are required to start selling the summer blend of gasoline.”

The changeover from winter to summer gasoline blends typically isn’t an easy transition, she said. “Refineries have to taper off production of the winter blend and start producing the summer blend every year, and it’s difficult to predict how much they’re going to need of everything,” Montgomery said. “The summer blend is more expensive to produce — by about 12 cents a gallon or so.” Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com, a Minnesota-based company that operates websites and mobile apps reporting fuel prices to the public, noted California’s higher gas prices are a tradeoff for cleaner air. “It’s important to remember why it began,” he said. “The summer gasoline requirement was a critical part of the Clean Air Act. It was approved with overwhelm-

ing support by Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990. That’s why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the volatility of conventional gasoline sold at retail stations during the summer smog season (June 1- Sept. 15) to reduce evaporative emissions that contribute to smog.” Reformulated Gasoline (RFG), said DeHaan, was mandated for those metro areas with the worst smog beginning in 1995. “It’s blended to burn cleaner than conventional gasoline, reducing emissions of smogforming and toxic pollutants,” he said. But DeHaan noted there’s also a tradeoff with the changeover from winter to summer gas blends in terms of price going up in exchange for better performance and gas mileage.

By DAVE SCHWAB

“Cars like warm weather a lot better than the punishing cold,” he said. “Winter gas contains more butane, and the fuel diluted with ethanol and/or butane typically lowers fuel economy by 1 to 3 percent due to lower energy content. Gasoline sold in warmer months has a higher energy content which results in better gas mileage. “Heat reduces your oil’s viscosity, and that reduces drag on the engine and increases your gas mileage,” DeHaan said. “Your car’s engine operates more efficiently when the oil flows like water, not sludge,” he said. GasBuddy.com is the premiere source for real-time local gas prices. Founded in 2000, GasBuddy.com developed as an initiative to provide consumers access to local, current gas prices. Through the GasBuddy.com website and the free GasBuddy mobile app, users can find and share gas prices with fellow drivers, saving at the pump.

tions.” LaCava said the new ordinance “prevents streets from becoming de facto storage zones by prohibiting on-street parking of oversize vehicles between 2 and 6 a.m.” LaCava said the city recognized the need for residents to load/unload their recreational vehicles and is providing an easyto-use online permitting and a very modest $1.25/day fee. “The city has wisely provided for a two-year sunset date so the ordinance is revisited to ensure it is working for all San Diegans,” he said. Pacific Beach Planning Group chairman Brian Curry said he looks forward to seeing the new ordinance in place. “The Pacific Beach Planning Group has strongly supported the OVO from the start and we are looking forward to its implementation and enforcement,” he said. “It is long overdue.”

tee on his annual Wild Rides Car Show, which attracts some 30,000 people to Garnet Avenue between Mission Boulevard and Dawes Street. The car exhibit will be held this year from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 24. The event promoter was chastised by the committee for not having a map prepared for the event or an updated list of entertainers performing. The “tastefulness” of a bikini contest and burlesque show held in conjunction with the event were also questioned. “I’ve done the same thing for five years,” said Lordigyan, who noted his history of successful dealings with the committee and community over the car show. Lordigyan was warned by the committee not to become “complacent” and expect a pass-through for the event strictly based on past performance. Lordigyan said he’s stepped back entertainment somewhat because of financial considerations since last year’s car show, which featured actress Catherine Bach from the “Dukes of Hazzard” TV series and the “General Lee” car showcased by the show. Regarding the bikini contest and burlesque show, Lordigyan said the

Of that total, 29 motorists were detained for further evaluation of their sobriety and 14 arrests were made for driving under the influence in or near the checkpoint. A total of 15 vehicles were impounded. The checkpoint was made possible by a California Office of Traffic Safety DUI mini-grant. “The message is simple: drive sober or get pulled over,” said officer Mark McCullough. “Drinking alcohol and driving do not mix,” he said. “ If you plan to consume alcohol, you

Such was not entirely the case with the annual Brazilian Festival to be held Sunday, Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., featuring a parade, festival, 100-plus vendors, a food court, a carnival and live music. Neighbors complained the event is too loud and that last year promoters failed to return calls from people with noise complaints. Promoters were also rebuffed in their attempt to petition the committee to extend the event an extra hour, as neighbors said they felt it was already too long, lasting more than two hours beyond the 4 p.m. parade time. Eve Anderson and other committee members said noise complaints recur annually from the event, now

in its seventh year. The commitee suggested the Brazilian Festival may have outgrown its surroundings and ought to be moved somewhere else, like downtown San Diego, where it could be more easily grown. Promoters said they were unprepared to move for a variety of reasons, noting the event has remained about the same size the past couple years. They pointed out that there are a large number of Brazilians in Pacific Beach, adding that requiring them to move elsewhere would essentially be “moving them out of their own community.” Promoters promised to be more responsive to complaints, adding they’ve taken steps to muffle sounds from the performing stage. They said Brazilian music by its very nature is “drum-driven.” One committee member, noting the large number of vendors, said he felt this posed competition to local restaurateurs and other merchants. He said promoters ought to do something “to give back to the community” in exchange for being allowed to host an event that draws 50,000-plus participants to the area. Following a long discussion, the committee voted 5-4 in favor of recommending that Brazilian Days be allowed to be held but attached several conditions to rein in the event in terms of hours and noise.

How to save thousands when selling your home LA JOLLA, When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. A

recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles.

the field of close to 1,300 teams has been reduced by 15 to 20 underage entries. Peterson said the 40-year-olds category features some of the most seasoned and skilled players in the tournament — some say its the toughest division of all. But there is plenty of action to go around in all categories. Camille Medina, winner of 12 women’s open-division titles and one Canalways division crown, and her daughter Marisa Tirri, winner of four women’s open-division titles, as well as Barb Chaub, winner of two OTL titles, and her daughter, will be back.

There are six men’s and four women’s divisions. All but the open division have age requirements. The first weekend’s games are three innings only. The second weekend will stretch to four innings. Fans this time will be restricted inside the playing area, now classified as the “beer garden.” Over-the-Line is a public event and requires no ticket or entrance fee to watch the games and enjoy the tournament. It’s billed as a world championship because teams from South America, Japan and Iceland have

been entered in the past. “There will probably be 100 teams from Arizona,” Peterson said. “Others have been entered from Nevada and Northern California.” Again, a beauty contest will determine this year’s reigning Miss Emerson. Over -the-Line is a modified form of softball played on sand between two three-player teams with no base running. The team at bat furnishes its own pitcher. The object of OTL is to hit a pitched ball “over the line” about 18 yards in front of the batter, with just the right stroke of some-

thing between a baseball and golf swing within the “foul” lines that roughly measure at 18 yards wide and extend without border. It is a one-of-a-kind event invented by “beach rats” and played by men and women up to even 70-plus years of age under rules dreamed up by men who lived at the beach. Part of the tradition are the unmentionable team names that might also go “over the line.” Many have commented that this event is one of Southern California’s last traditions that is pure and untouched by commercialism.

the council supported it and it’s something we can all get behind,” he said. In his opening remarks, Faulconer complimented Harris for the job he, too, is doing, saying the former Marine didn’t have a “learning curve” stepping into the role because Harris has been a leader for years representing city lifeguards. Hammering away at his common themes of fostering collaboration, collegiality and common sense in his adminstration, Faulconer said his budget emphasizes returning funding to neighborhood services. “My priority is to make sure we’re investing dollars back into libraries, paving streets, repairing

potholes, et cetera,” said Faulconer, adding the new budget begins to address retaining and recruiting more police officers to enhance public safety. Faulconer lauded the new OVO ordinance passed last year, which provides for an online permitting system that is to go into effect this summer. Faulconer said he believes the OVO will go far in getting unwanted vehicles off the street. Addressing the mayor, one neighbor said Pacific Beach is being overrun of late by “a proliferation of vacation rentals, not just along Mission Beach Boulevard but throughout the community, which is ruining the fabric of the neighborhood.”

Acknowledging that parking, quality of life and enforcement issues are of prime concern, Faulconer stressed that such matters need to be addressed by zoning. “We need to update our community plans, which tell us what zoning we want — or don’t want — in special areas and those change over time,” Faulconer replied. Concerning alcohol licensing, Faulconer said he’s working with the community on developing conditional-use permits which stipulate operating conditions for bar owners. The mayor said a balance needs to be struck in finding the most appropriate ways to encourage quality businesses

while at the same time discouraging those not following the rules, and stepping up law enforcement to ensure behavior problems are promptly dealt with. Pacific Beach Planning Group chairman Brian Curry pointed out Pacific Beach is a “huge destination” for the city, the nation and the world. “We can’t even get our sidewalks cleaned,” said Curry. “Our trash cans are overflowing and we’re losing revenues every day. “We need to invest in our beaches, not just for those who live here but for everyone,” he added. Faulconer agreed. “We have a unique challenge at the beaches.”

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY WITH AN UNFORGETTABLE OLD-FASHIONED EVENT IN OLD TOWN SAN DIEGO –Jump Back In Time and Celebrate the Red, White, and Blue in True 1800s-style – Old Town San Diego State Historic Park is hosting an old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration where guests will be able to come and relive the excitement of a 1800's Independence Day celebration. This free event is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the park’s grassy plaza. “Come join us and celebrate the Fourth of July in a way that your family will never forget,” said Frances McMeeken, event organizer. “We will have free activities and games for all

ages that date back to the 1800's. This memorable celebration is a family tradition for many San Diegans.” Guests are encouraged to participate in the parade around the plaza reminiscent of the July Fourth parades of early San Diego with horses, wagons, and people in historical costumes. Children 12 years and under may enter the patriotic hatmaking activity and proudly wear their creation in the parade. Children’s games and crafts begin at 10:30 a.m. in the plaza. The band "Made in America" will be preforming historic and patriotic

MB centennial celebration continues July 15

WHEN? >>

By DAVE SCHWAB

Dunaway’s was a drugstore? Here’s a shot of the iconic structure on the northwest corner of Cass and Garnet streets shortly after completion in 1926 at a cost of $40,000. The drugstore closed on Jan. 13, 1990. A whole bunch of Pacific Beach residents have only known it as a sushi restaurant. — John Fry may be reached at (858) 272-6655, or by email at mail@johnfry.com.

The “Dive-in Movie,” part of Mission Beach’s year-long centennial celebration, is still on for July 15, but the venue has been changed from historic Plunge pool to Wave House Athletic Park at 3115 Ocean Front Walk in Belmont Park. “We’re going to be showing ‘Jaws’ from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m.,” said centennial spokeswoman Wendy Crain about the latest in a series of events commemorating the beach community’s 100th birthday in 2014. “There will be a 20-foot screen set up in front of the wave machine.” Crain said the venue can accommodate about 200 guests. Movie-style refreshments will be served, including popcorn and candy. Crain said goodies will be appropriately priced for a family event. She said signature cocktails will be available at a discounted price. The centennial celebration kicked off in March with a proclamation from Mayor Kevin

Faulconer to go along with dedication of a monument, a big boulder with an oxidized bronze plaque placed between Belmont Park and the southern lifeguard restroom on the beach. The centennial event schedule continues in August with a sandcastle event and will conclude with a volleyball/horseshoes beachfest in early September. The centennial events will finish with a Sept. 27 Centennial Festival at Belmont Park/Ventura Boulevard. The origin of Mission Beach dates to June 14, 1914, when a syndicate headed by John D. Spreckels and managed by George S. Barney submitted a subdivision map surveyed by D.A. Loebenstein to the “Common Council” of San Diego (what is known now as the the San Diego City Council) for approval on Dec. 14, 1914. The first official map of Mission Beach was then signed and adopted. For more information visit www.missionbeachcentennial.org.

SUNNY RUDE

By BART MENDOZA Fans of Latin sounds won’t want to miss an appearance from the Bi-National Mambo Orchestra at Dizzy’s on June 27. Taking in everything from the mambo to the cha cha and meringue, the 20-piece band is an explosion of rhythm. Still led by founder and trumpeter Bill Caballero, this performance is technically a concert, but the group’s inspired performance should be able to get the audience off its feet and dancing within the first few bars. The band has issued one album to date, the excellent “Standards,” but live, where you can experience the musicians interact is the best way to experience Caballero and his Orchestra. • THE BI-NATIONAL MAMBO ORCHESTRA: Friday, June 27, at DIZZY’S, 4275 Mission Bay Drive.

8 p.m. $15. www.dizzysjazz.com. Root rock aficionados won’t want to miss an appearance from the Dave Gleason Trio at Beaumont’s on June 27. The acclaimed guitarist plays a heady mix of classic old school country with splashes of rockabilly fretwork that’s sure to please even the most jaded Americana fan.

MUSTHEAR >> Anyone looking for a good night of dance music may want to check out Caliber, who perform at Humphrey’s Backstage Live on Saturday, July 5. The six piece band, with male and female vocals, has a particularly wide repertoire that includes current hits from Pharell to Katy Perry, as well as a long list of classics that could include anyone from Jefferson Airplane to Soft Cell as the situation dictates. If your tastes in Top 40 music trend toward the latest hits, then Caliber is exactly what the doctor ordered.

• THE DAVE GLEASON TRIO: June 27 at BEAUMONT’S, 5662 La Jolla Blvd. 9 p.m. 21 and up. www.beaumontseatery.com.

Blessed with a fiery voice and commanding stage presence, Michele Lundeen is a musical force to be reckoned with. Appearing at Tio Leo’s on July 1, Lundeen’s vocals place her alongside the likes of Tina Turner and Etta James when it comes to emotion filled singing. She’s only recorded one album to date, but it’s just as well. As anyone who has caught her act can attest, her music is basically the blues with a touch of soul, gritty roadhouse style — whether you dance or listen, Lundeen and her band will move you. • MICHELE LUNDEEN: Tuesday, July 1 at TIO LEO’S, 5302 Napa Street. 9 p.m. 21 and up. Cover TBD. www.tioleos.com. There are plenty of places to hear live music this Fourth of July, but nothing beats the Kona Kai

Resort’s pool party, with Point Loma’s own Fish & The Seaweeds providing the tunes to go along with the fireworks on the bay. Led by guitarist Mark Fisher, Fish & The Seaweeds excel at classic rock with a repertoire that includes the likes of Santana, The Beatles and Neil Young, in other words, the perfect soundtrack for a Friday evening party. The Kona Kai recently went through a remodel, so if you haven’t been to the hotel recently, this free event is the perfect excuse. • FISH & THE SEAWEEDS: Friday, July 4, at the KONA KAI RESORT, 1551 Shelter Island Dr., Shelter Island. 5:30 p.m. No Cover. www.resortkonakai.com Roots and reggae aficionados won’t want to miss an excellent triple bill at the 710 Beach Club on July 5. On hand will be a Sunny Rude, City Reef and Special Blend. Sunny Rude in particular has made a splash in San Diego over the past four years, perennial favorites in a crowded scene with a sophomore release on the way. If you are a fan of island sounds this show right at the foot of the pacific ocean is the setting for a great Saturday night. • SUNNY RUDE: Sunday, March 24, at the 710 BEACH CLUB, 710 Garnet Ave. 9 p.m. 21 and up. www.710bc.com.

The Patio features Guest Chef for Bastille Day Bastille Day, celebrated annually in France, commemorates the storming of the Bastille fortress, which sparked the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789. In honor of the French National Day, The Patio on Lamont Street will be hosting a two-night special wine dinner on July 14 and 15, prepared by guest chef Olivier Bioteau, former chef proprietor of Farm House Café and chocolatier. Born in The Loire in France, Bioteau learned to cook in his grandmother’s kitchen and spent his military service cooking at L’Elysee, the French White House. In 2008, he opened Farm House Cafe in University Heights, and it quickly became a favorite gathering spot for local chefs and lovers of French cuisine. He sold the restaurant earlier this year. The five-course dinner at The Patio will be classically French and will include Bioteau’s chicken liver mousse, a Farm House favorite. Each course will be expertly paired with wines imported by renowned wine merchant Kermit Lynch. According to The Patio’s wine buyer, Sheila Tracy, Lynch is known for sourcing highquality, rare wines from small family wineries around France and Italy. For more information about the event and to purchase tickets, visit www.brownpapertickets.com and search "The Patio." Reservations are required and space is limited.

SD Rowing Club claims bronze medal in youth nationals Varsity women with the San Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) on Mission Bay have brought home a bronze medal from the U.S. Rowing’s Youth National Championships in Sacramento. The event was held over three days earlier this month at Lake Natoma, where top high-school-age rowers from across the nation raced on a 2,000-meter (1.25-mile) course to cap off the 2013-14 season. SDRC’s time of 7:26.852 made them the country’s third-fastest women's youth boat in the “4x” (4 rowers, 8 oars) division. SDRC junior rowers Marissa Gibson, Jillian Renly, Sarah Hoskin and Mariko Kelly earned their medals

after competing against 19 teams in multiple heats. The SDRC junior women advanced to U.S. Nationals after racing to a gold medal in the same event at the Southwest Junior District Championships in May, beating a field of 30 women’s teams in multiple heats. “It was a tough weekend of racing," said bow-seat rower Mariko Kelly. "Going into nationals, we were seeded fourth, and we knew we’d have to all pull together to be in medal contention. We did it for our coaches and for our dads. It was a fantastic Father’s Day gift.” SDRC coach Benton Sparks led the varsity women to bronze at U.S. Nationals.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Susan Francia coached the women through their winning season, including last month’s gold at southwest regional championships. U.S. Nationals was the final competition as SDRC rowers for two varsity women: Gibson, a graduate of La Jolla High School, will attend the University of Wisconsin on a rowing scholarship this fall, while Hoskin, a

The SDRC Women’s Varsity Team rows on Mission Bay out of its boathouse on El Carmel Point. The club has novice and varsity teams for boys and girls. SDRC is offering 2-week "Learn to Row" camps in June, July and August that offer youth (ages 10-18) a chance to enter the sport and be a part of something special.

No rowing experience is required to participate in the camps. The San Diego Rowing Club is a non-profit organization founded in 1888 and committed to helping develop and expand the sport. The club's Juniors Program offers one of the premiere places to learn to row, developing strong athletes who go on to compete on college crew and national teams each year.

A Little Help Can Improve Life of Seniors Sometimes all it takes is a little assistance for seniors to live life to the fullest in the comfort of their own home. Mobility issues, declining health and other challenges can make it difficult for seniors to maintain a good lifestyle, live safely and continue to participate in activities that they enjoy. It is common for seniors to resist accepting assistance from anyone outside of family members. Family caregivers do their best but are often juggling the needs of aging parents

Students from Mission Bay High School, participating in Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute’s “Seabass in the Classroom” (SITC) program on June 6, released 25 tagged juvenile white sea bass into local waters to restore healthy population levels. Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute (HSWRI) research scientist and SITC program coordinator Mike Shane delivered the fish that were ultimately released into Mission Bay to Mission Bay High School in March as part of Mission Bay High School’s inaugural STEM education program. Mission Bay High School is one of five local school programs that have benefited from expansion of the Institute’s SITC program this last year, thanks to ongoing support of SDG&E and private local donors and partners. The SITC program incorporates a hands-on learning experience into school science curriculum and couples it with field activities related to the release of cultured marine fish. The program teaches the students about aquaculture and stock enhancement by growing, feeding, tagging and finally releasing the fish into local waters. Once released, the students’ cultured seabass are tracked by tags embedded in their cheeks. This HSWRI program is part of the Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program (OREHP). OREHP is the result of an extraordinary partnership between California resource agencies, public-utility companies, sportsfishing groups and the scientific community to restore the depleted populations of recreationally and commercially important marine fish. From the 1950s to the 1980s, annual party boat catches of white seabass in California dropped from more than 55,000 to less than 3,500. Partly as a result of that, the OREHP Advisory Panel identified white seabass in 1983 as the most appropriate species to initiate this long-term research program. Since program funding is generated by fishing-license fees north of the Mexican border and south of Point Arguello, HSWRI’s fish culture, tag-and-release and

assessment activities are focused in Southern California. Because of private donor support, funding from public-utility companies and the ongoing support of sportfishers and sportfishing groups, OREHP releases thousands of fish each year. On Aug. 21, HSWRI released its 2 millionth white seabass. Adult fish have been recovered up to 13 years after release and more than 350 miles from their release site. The SITC project at Mission Bay High School began when marine biology teacher Steve Walters and Bill Jones — a graduate student from Scripps Institute of Oceanography — started talking about how to bring science into the classroom. They were both part of a National Science Foundation project called GK-12, and they agreed that the white sea bass project was a perfect STEM idea. “The students performed the chemistry, feeding, measurements of the fish and monitored and cleaned the tank,” said Jones. “We also took a field trip up to the hatchery in Carlsbad, then we did a tour of SIO and had pizza on the pier. It was a great day and the students enjoyed the program,” he said.

THURSDAY · JUNE 26, 2014 BEACH & BAY PRESS

Pacific Beach library set to celebrate centennial By DAVE SCHWAB The Pacific Beach Library will celebrate its centennial on Saturday, July 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. . “We are going to have 15 to 20 minutes of speeches, followed by cake and entertainment,” said Christina Wainwright, branch manager of the Pacific Beach Earl & Birdie Taylor Branch Library. “Hopefully, we’ll have

folks, former staff and patrons, come back and talk about their memories of the library.” The original Pacific Beach library opened as just bookshelves in the lobby of the Pacific Beach Woman’s Club on Hornblend Street in 1914. “While we have moved on to a bigger site since then, we are extremely

proud to continue that original library’s efforts to meet San Diegans’ educational and recreational needs,” said Wainwright, who noted the library remained at the woman’s club for 30 years before moving to a rental property now attached to PB Middle School before transferring to its present location at 4275 Cass St.

A couple of weeks later the centennial celebration will continue with a “Yarn-Bombing” on Wednesday, July 30. “It’s a benign form of graffiti,” joked Wainwright, adding ladies will be knitting or crocheting yarn pieces which will be strung together decorating the 20 trees or so along Cass

Street in the library’s outdoor plaza. Decorations are to include squid, octopi and fish supended from the trees. “Once it’s done we hope that it will look like fish and other marine animals swimming through the ocean since we’re a beach library,” said Wainwright.
