DecoBike plans to add more coastal stations By DAVE SCHWAB The battle to remove two existing DecoBike stations on Pacific Beach's boardwalk continues despite city opposition and amid reports that the bike-sharing company may be further expanding its coastal network. On July 20, community activists Alan Harris and Jennifer Tandy addressed Pacific Beach Town Council about an ongoing petition drive opposing PB boardwalk's commercialization. Following that meeting, Harris noted a petition drive opposing boardwalk Deco-

Mission Bay grad to represent Pacific Beach at Rio Paralympics By DAVE THOMAS It can be easy for many individuals when the chips are down to fold their tents and go home. That said, many others will stand and fight. Such is the case with one Mission Bay High grad, a young man who chose to make a stand when life presented him with a very serious challenge. For Pacific Beach native Ryan Porteous, his introduction to the college world was not what any young man (or woman for that matter) would envision. In 2011, after graduating from Mission Bay High (second in his class) and being named Male Athlete of the Year (he lettered three years on the football team), life

would soon change. Porteous was injured during a fall on a boat dock in his early days at the University of California Santa Barbara (still a student there), a spinal cord injury that led to partial paralysis. While his body changed, his mind made up of determination SEE PORTEOUS, Page 10
Six years ago Audrey Stratton made 85 feline friends on a walk around Mission Bay. Today, she works to help maintain their health and safety. The jetty at the end of Quivira Way in Mission Beach houses a colony of feral cats and has become a drop off spot for people who can no longer care for their feline friends. According to Stratton, long before she found the cats, there was a colony of 25 living around the jetty. They were all neutered and tagged. As time went on, people began dropping their cats off and the feral population grew. By the time Stratton came around, there were 85 cats with a large population of them born and raised feral. Over the course of three months, she documented the cats in a
binder with photographs and information on each one. “They are attracted to the jetty because of the amazing weather, social structure amongst other feral cats, fresh fish from the fishermen and, most importantly, a dedicated group of feeders who come daily to provide fresh food and water,” Stratton said.
“I fish here every so often,” said James Harrodson, an Ocean Beach resident. “I see a couple of cats every time. They sit beside me because they are smart, you know, they know I am about to pull a fish out of the water or a potential lunch for them. They look rough but they are incredibly friendly.” SEE CATS, Page 12

Dining Get down and dirty on National Chicken Wing Day By LAINIE FRASER In 1964, in Buffalo, N.Y., Teressa Bellissimo threw together a cheap latenight snack for her son and his college buddies. The chicken wings, fried and smothered in sauce, were a massive hit. Bellissimo and her husband Frank decided to start selling the wings at their restaurant the Anchor Bar. After acknowledging that the wings were such a success, other restaurants began making their own and in 1977 Stan Makowski, then mayor of Buffalo, declared July 29 National Chicken Wing Day. For 50 years, restaurants around the country have been working to create the perfect buffalo wing and sauce. The owners of Dirty Birds in Pacific Beach, which has been voted Best Wings in San Diego four years in a row, believe they have found the secret. “Our root owners and operators are all East Coasters,” kitchen manager Marco Montes said. “They know a thing or two about chicken wings. Combine that with some Western and Southwestern kitchen knowhow and step back because here comes the boom.” For eight years, Dirty Birds in Pacific Beach has been the go-to place for buffalo wings, cold beer and sporting events. Every morning the chefs at Dirty Birds prepare to season, bake, fry and

sauce the wings. But the first step in readying the wings is to cover them in the restaurant's secret rub. “The key ingredient for us and what I think sets us apart from others is the seasoning we bake all of our wings in first,” said general manager Marlee Lucas. From there, the wings are partially baked to lock in the flavors of the secret seasoning. “There definitely has to be a frying element when it comes to cooking chicken wings, that’s the typical method of cooking them,” Lucas said. “We add baking or roasting to our process to lock in the juices and allow the flavors to really resonate throughout.” The wings then wait for an order to come in. When one does, they are fried and coated in the customer’s choice of seasoning or sauce. The last minute frying keeps the flavors locked in, the texture crispy and the wings hot and ready to be tossed in sauce. The secret to a good sauce, Montes said, is some flavor know-how, imagination, practice and a whole lot of love. The actual ingredients in the sauce though, Montes said, he is not
at liberty to share. With more than 33 different sauce flavors, Dirty Birds provides customers with a variety of options in taste and spice. The heat ranges from mild up to a spice that, Montes said, has made grown men cry. The most popular sauce is Dirty Ranch. Other favorites are Spicy Garlic, Diablo, Ninja, Sweet Chili and Lemon Pepper. “No one else makes wings like this place,” said Eric Bell, a Pacific Beach resident and Dirty Birds regular. “I love the choices in sauce, the taste of the chicken and the atmosphere.” The restaurant orders roughly 10,000 pieces or 1,280 pounds of chicken wings at a time, and while that may sound like a lot, Montes says they go through about 3,400 pounds of chicken wings in an average week. On a regular season football Sunday, they go through nearly 640 pounds of chicken, but on Super Bowl Sunday they average about 960 pounds. According to Lucas, chicken wings and sports are the ultimate combo that makes the restaurant busy during any kind of sporting event. Even without a major sporting event, Lucas says people seem to always want wings and always want to eat as many as they possibly can. Mondays at Dirty Birds are all-youcan-eat wing nights, and people take it very seriously. The most wings Lucas has witnessed eaten in one sitting, is 58.

While you learn about the foods of the past you will be able to try modern tastes that evoke that time, provided by the food purveyors in the park.

the West so did the need for specialized trades and artisans. Old Town San Diego will present pivotal 19th century trades that helped shape the community of San Diego. August 13 — “Days of the Vaquero” — Vaqueros were the first cowboys in California. They were highly skilled horsemen and cattle herders who were an integral part of the early cattle trade in California. The day will celebrate their horsemanship techniques and other aspects of Californio culture. Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, with the support of the Boosters of Old Town, County of San Diego, and donations from Fiesta de Reyes, is proud to offer these free activities for adults and children of all ages.

Excerpts from famous works will be presented by costumed San Diego actors at a variety of park venues throughout the day. August 27 — “West on the Move” — The California Gold Rush brought thousands of people to San Diego. Some stayed, many more passed through seeking their fortunes further north. Today, California State Parks will present demonstrations and activities that were part of the lives of these people on the move.

Name change has PB eatery in lease squabble By DAVE SCHWAB The owners of Tony Roma's in Pacific Beach recently ended their affiliation with the Tony Roma's chain becoming Beachtown BBQ and Grill. Now pressure is being brought to bare on restaurateurs Peggy and Dan Mazella by their landlord to force them to change back – or else. On July 19, the Mazellas received a letter from an attorney representing their landlord, Promenade Mall Development Corp. It read, “You are in violation of the lease in that you are not operating under the name Tony Roma's and instead are operating under the name Beachtown BBQ. … Within 10 business days, you are required to cure the violation by removing the 'Beachtown BBQ' signage from the premises, restoring the 'Tony Roma's' signage and operating under that name … or quitting the premises and delivering up possession of the premises.” “I believe he (landlord) is reading our lease out of context,” said Mazella, noting, “He never signed our lease back in 1986.” Mazella said the original developer drafted the lease and signed it with his father in law.
“We are simply trying to run a local restaurant servicing our neighbors in a most hospitable way,” said Mazella, adding, “If neighbors prefer we switch back to Tony Roma's – I would like to know that. Likewise, if neighbors prefer we continue as Beachtown BBQ and Grill – I would like to know that too.” Speculation is growing that market forces along the beachfront, in effect for some time, are making the business environment so competitive for restaurants that many are converting or selling to more profitable beach bar-oriented establishments. “I've been told I'm leaving lots of money on the table,” said Mazella of opting to remain a restaurant rather than a bar. Discussing why he broke away from Tony Roma's, Mazella said, “We were just going in a different direction. I liked Tony Roma's. They're nice guys. But they have a business model that was not really keeping up, and they've been losing locations in California for several years. We had a harmonious relationship. It was just better for us to move on.” SEE Page 9

News BIKE >> CONT. FROM PG. 1
had multiple meetings with both DecoBike and the city. Harris and other residents addressed the City Council recently about their opposition to boardwalk DecoBike stations. Told by the city that those stations were “lucrative,” Harris said they also learned DecoBike wants to increase, to 20, the number of its coastal bike stations between Ocean Beach and La Jolla. “Those stations were never planned, they were never shown to anybody in the community,” noted Harris. “We've been fighting them for a little over a year since they were first installed on the boardwalk.” Brian Curry, Pacific Beach Planning Group chair, said the city advisory group remains “opposed to DecoBike on our boardwalk and in tourist-oriented locations which compete with our small-business owners. The city is committed to running the program without public subsidy. Unfortunately, the city position results in a subsidy being paid by our local bike shop rental business owners.” According to city spokeswoman Katie Keach, as additional sites are considered throughout the city for a functional bike sharing network, no additional stations will be constructed on the boardwalk. Because the existing boardwalk stations are key to the network, the city will not move them. Florida-based DecoBike signed a 10-year contract with the city of San Diego and spent $8 million setting up bike share infrastructure citywide. After more than a year of delays, FROM Page 8
The alleged link between beach bars and alcohol-related crime in Pacific Beach has become a hotbutton topic once again. Some PB residents, who've been pushing for years for more local control over alcohol licenses, their issuance and terms, claim PB is falling prey to the cannibalization and predatory practices of some property owners collecting liquor licenses and leveraging them out, selling to more profitable enterprises than are there currently. “Everyone knows that a bar is a whole lot more profitable than a restaurant,” said Mazella. “We are just one more chapter of a book being written.” An attorney as well as a restaurateur and board director on Discover PB, the community's Business Improvement District, Mazella and his landlord have been involved in an ongoing lawsuit involving alleged culpability over a leaky grease interceptor onsite. The owner of Promenade Mall Development Corp. was out of town and could not be reached for comment by Beach & Bay Press before press time for this story.
DecoBike opened its first rental stations in January 2015. During its first year of operations, DecoBike sold 102,641 rides and 697 memberships in San Diego, according to its annual report. Rides ranged from $5 for 30 minutes to a $125 annual membership. By comparison, the bike share program Citi Bike in New York City sold almost 4 million rides and more than 85,000 memberships in the first three months after it opened in 2013. Melinda Pederson, administrative manager for DecoBike San Diego, previously said the number of rides sold in San Diego is "lower than we would have liked” but added that is "not unusual for the first year of a bikeshare program.” Asked about rumors that DecoBike might be asking the city for a “bailout,” Pederson replied, “We have never asked for any such payment, nor do we intend to. Our agreement with the city is that we will privately fund the bike share program and they will allow us to install stations in the public right-of-way. They also allow us to install ad panels and sell ad
space to offset the cost of running the system.” Concerning the PB boardwalk stations, Pederson added, “They are very important to the bike share system. Those two stations consistently rank in our top five busiest stations, and there are no plans to move either of them.” Pederson said, prior to installing the two boardwalk stations, that DecoBike revised its station plan in response to community concerns. “We reduced the number of stations to be installed on the boardwalk, and we reduced the station size,” she said. “Unfortunately, I can't give you any specifics on upcoming installations just yet. We have been working very closely with the city to agree upon sites for the next phase of installation. “The city has been meeting with local community groups to review locations and take their input into consideration as well. Once we have approval from the city on the new locations, we will make an announcement,” Pederson said. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

Accused homeless killer makes court appearance By NEAL PUTNAM Jon David Guerrero, 39, made his first court appearance Tuesday after being charged with killing three homeless men and injuring two others and the prosecutor announced the death penalty may be sought if he’s convicted. Guerrero’s attorney Dan Tandon, asked the arraignment be delayed until Aug. 2, and San Diego Superior Court Judge Fred Maguire granted it. Guerrero remains in jail without bail. Guerrero was arrested July 15
by San Diego Police only an hour after the attack on a fifth homeless man occurred in Golden Hill by a man on a bicycle. Guerrero lived in downtown San Diego. Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey filed special circumstance charges that allege Guerrero committed multiple murders. She said the DA’s office has not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty or a life term in prison without parole if he’s convicted. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

and accomplishing things in life did not. Porteous persevered despite his injury, working hard enough to earn a spot this year on the U.S. Paralympics team that will compete in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The former Buccaneer will be representing his country in the SKUD 18 class sailboat two-person competition. He and his sailing partner were recently victorious in the U.S. Sailing Paralympic Athlete Selection Series for the two-person keelboat competition. Partnered with Massachusetts resident Maureen McKinnon (she won gold in the SKUD-18 at the 2008 Games in Beijing), Porteous is more than happy to represent the United States, noting that it was both a relief and an accomplishment to earn the right to be going to Rio 2016 this September. Porteous, who has also represented Mission Bay Yacht Club in his sailing ventures over the years, is not one to quit. As he mentioned online, “Though this injury has been a life-changing experience, I approach it with optimism. Being the athletic person I was before, I also knew I had to get back out there and renew my passion for sports. Sailing has been a perfect fit.” Better yet, Porteous can be an inspiration for others who have been placed in challenging situations for one reason or another. “Much of what we see depends largely on what we look for. Look for the good stuff, accentuate the positive and press on,” he adds. Porteous will be doing just that in Rio and for many years to come.
Albion SC Pros fall to Sol in West Region final By DAVE THOMAS Although they came up a little short in last weekend’s National Premier Soccer League West Region final at Mission Bay High School, the area’s Albion SC Pros soccer team had quite a season to boot. Albion SC Pros dropped a 1-0 decision to perennial power Sonoma County Sol in front of a raucous crowd in Pacific Beach on Saturday, July 23. The loss ended what was a fantastic season for the locals, as they entered the match unbeaten. Knotted at 0-0 heading into the intermission break, things would change in the second half, with the visitors getting the only goal (from Diego Lopez) they would need to secure the title. The victory allowed Sonoma County Sol to move on to the National Semifinals, where it is slated to meet up with a powerful Chattanooga FC team. Albion SC Pros, which captured its first conference title during its unbeaten regular season run, can look back on its season with nothing but pride and satisfaction.Ian Cook, head of marketing for Albion SC Pros, mentioned recently on the National Soccer Premiere League website what kind of season it has been for the expansion franchise.In his comments, Cook noted, “Going undefeated in the regular season

and winning the conference championship is a massive accomplishment. It is a testament to all the great work by the Albion Pros coaching staff and players to put the hard work in day after day. This organization committed to a vision of winning a national championship back in December and to foster an undefeated, hard-working culture.”
Making the ride to the West Region final all the more impressive was the total team effort that Albion Pros displayed. As Albion Pros head coach Ziggy Korytoski stated, it was an effort that included players, staff, volunteers and the San Diego community. For this local soccer team, the sky is the limit moving forward.

Experience and technology at Body Shop Express BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS
Body Shop Express in the Midway District is a family owned- and operated business certified to fix collisiondamaged vehicles in half the usual time. The key is experience – and tech-
nology, said Body Shop Express owner Patrick O'Neill. “Our objective is to provide a fullservice, collision-repair facility for the future,” said O'Neill, a Point Loma resident. “We guarantee our work for as long as you own the vehicle. And the insurance companies we do business
with back up our guarantee with their own guarantee.” O'Neill has run the full-service collision repair shop at 3777 Gaines St. with his son Christopher for the past nine months. Between them, the father-son duo have more than 55 years of ownership and management experience. Patrick runs and operates an import business of very advanced collision repair technology. Christopher runs the collision business incorporating the latest technology and repair procedures in the industry. O'Neill said Body Shop Express is the type of shop everyone – customers, insurers, manufacturers – wants to deal with because they have a proven, more efficient operating system. “Typically, the average, $2,500 repair time across the United States for collision is roughly eight to nine days,” O'Neill said noting high-tech robots he employs with his system in
painting and other aspects of repairs cuts the time involved about in half. A walk-thru of Body Shop's shop is an eye opener. Several cars are being worked on, in various stages of repair, at the same time. “We have a robot that we use to cure (painting) the product that's twice as fast,” said O'Neill adding he's currently processing about 55 cars per week where, otherwise, he would only get about 25 done per week. O'Neill started his collision repair business in 1998 in Arizona. He sold a total of eight collision repair shops in Tucson, Phoenix and Las Vegas in 2012. Now the auto-repair pro is locked into doing business in San Diego. He said the key to business success in the auto-repair industry wherever you go remains unchanged. “We're customer oriented and customer- and insurance-friendly,” he said. “We built a $24 million a year business in sales by taking care of customers.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

CATS >> CONT. FROM PG. 1
When she first interacted with the cats, Stratton noticed that no one was helping them. Many of the cats had serious medical issues, some were struggling to recover from repeatedly birthing large litters and most of them had battle wounds from years of fighting. She learned that the City of San Diego was threatening to capture and euthanize the cats if no one presented an effective alternative. The alternative, Stratton determined, was a process used by many rescue organizations called TNR (trapneuter-return). “The only solution is to TNR and maintain the colony until there are eventually no more cats,” Stratton said. With the help of the East County Animal Rescue and the Feline Cat Coalition, an organization of which
Stratton is a board member, Stratton humanely traps, neuters and releases the animals, or completes TNR. The animals are tagged, given whatever medical attention they are in need of, and then released back to the jetty. The work done with the jetty cats has been recognized by other feral cat advocacy groups as a perfect example of successfully managing a colony through TNR. “We know our efforts are helping the situation because we have gone from 85 cats to 35 in just a few years,” Stratton said. Many of the feeders have bonded with the cats and feel responsible for their safety and well being. “All of the caregivers come on dedicated days of the week,” Stratton said. “I am there every Tuesday and occasionally stroll by on the weekends when I miss the kitties. There are four caregivers who come throughout the week.” While some people enjoy caring

for and feeding the cats, others are more concerned about the condition of the jetty and the safety of the other wildlife in the area. Some of the usual complaints filed with Animal Services are concerned with the food that is left out for the cats. People are worried that the leftovers will attract rodents to the area, but the most common complaint has to do with the bird population. According to a study done by the Smithsonian and the Fish and Wildlife Service, feral cats are responsible for the death of thousands of birds each year. According to the San Diego Audubon Society, San Diego is home to a large variety of birds, many of which are already endangered. The fear many have is that these cats are contributing to the dwindling populations of many of these birds. According to Stratton, that does not seem plausible. “The jetty cats are fat and happy,” Stratton said. “I spend hours there

every week and have never once seen a single cat kill a bird. Out of all the stretches of shores in the world, why can’t the cats have a few yards of it?” For those interested in feeding and or visiting the jetty cats, the caretakers have a few pieces of advice. The first is to never approach a cat too quickly or aggressively, this will scare the already skittish cats away and potentially instill a fear of humans. The second is to not approach them with the intent on picking them up or petting them. A fair and safe distance should be kept between the cat and the human. Allow the cat’s behavior to determine how the interaction will go. Finally, bring cat food and your patience. The best times to visit are in the early morning and just before sunset. According to Stratton, when a caretaker arrives or a fisherman selects a spot, the cats will come out. “If you spot a fisherman and sit

Ask The Trust & Estate Attorney SM
Question:
I need to make some changes to my estate plan, do I also have to change my beneficiary designations?
When changing your Will or Trust, it is a good time to review your beneficiary designations. If there is a death, birth, marriage or divorce, that is also a good time to review them. All beneficiary designation forms for retirement accounts, including 401ks, IRAs, Roth IRAs, and all life insurances should be redone to make sure that it is the way you want it. It is better and easier to do new forms. Please keep a copy of the forms and follow up in 2 weeks to make sure it is done. If you have stock options, deferred compensation or other employer benefits that have beneficiaries, please obtain those forms from your company and redo them also.
Answer:
Virginia Weber Laskowitz
Trust Attorney The beneficiaries of your retirement plans should be individuals and not your living trust. The persons named can rollover the proceeds of the retirement plan to have as their own retirement. The beneficiary of life insurance can be the trust as there are no tax advantages to naming an individual. Still have questions? Call my office to make an appointment with us to discuss it. VIRGINIA WEBER LASKOWITZ has obtained the highest peer review rating obtainable from Martingale-Hubbed– an “AV.” This rating “identifies a lawyer with very high to preeminent legal ability.”
