THE BIG PICTURE
Civic engagement, volunteerism head OB Town Council's agendas for 2015 BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON
WETSUIT? WHAT WETSUIT? Students and parents from the Silver Gate, Dana and Correia middle school surf teams proved they're just as hardy (or crazy) as everybody else as they rang in the New Year with their version of the polar bear plunge, which suddenly passes for something of a cultural tradition in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Plunges took place at several California beaches and are a major event at locations as far east as New Hampshire. Below, local participants PHOTOS BY JIM GRANT bundle up against below-average temperatures that marked the New Year's weekend.
2014 was a good year for Peninsula residents, whose leaders are looking ahead to an even better 2015. Meanwhile, The Beacon reached out to Peninsulans to talk about their wish lists this year and about what they anticipate happening as the new year unfolds. Gretchen Kinney Newsom, president of Ocean Beach Town Council, said there’s a plethora of things to look forward to and to strive to achieve, adding that she expects the council to be up to the task. “The OB Town Council,” she said, “will be deepening and broadening civic engagement and volunteer opportunities that promote the general betterment and beautifi-
It’s time to look back to see the paths the “Pointers” chose in getting to the new year. Here's a month-by-month review of events as reported in The Peninsula Beacon in 2014:

Those who prefer to view whales up close and personal can do so by kayak, renting them from institutions like Everyday California, at 2246 Avenida De La Playa in La Jolla Shores. Why view whales from a kayak rather than a boat? “It’s more environmentally conscious, not disturbing whales with noise pollution from (boat) engines, and you can get closer,” said Everyday tour guide Steve Anderson, who noted two guides typically host groups of ten persons each on kayak tours, paddling out for half an hour to cover the three miles needed to get out into the ocean pathways greys take migrating south.

New laws, new mayor, new ideas marked 2014 for Peninsula residents BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON
Kings of the deep are now granting audiences
Ocean Beach Town Council president Gretchen Kinney Newsom said homelessness and infrastructure needs are two main areas of concern to her group.
JANUARY A host of new laws – everything from vehicles being required to stay at least three feet clear of bicyclists to paid family leave of absence – took effect. The Point Loma Optimist Club launched a community-outreach drive. Phil’s BBQ in Point Loma closed six weeks for a $1 million renovation. Peninsula planners narrowly opted not to appeal the controversial Peeling hillside subdivision project. Loma Portal neighbors Elaine Fotinos Burrell and Karla Lapic spearheaded research and development of a new book, “Reading Between the Lampposts: The Literary Giants of Loma Portal,” about author-named streets in their area. The Midway Post Office complex went back on the auction block. Midway planners continued with the update of their community plan, the blueprint for commercial and residential development.
ment protesting SeaWorld’s treatment of orcas as depicted in the documentary “Blackfish.” The announcement renewed pressure on the marine park to change its business model and reconsider keeping killer whales in captivity. SeaWorld defended its practices in a Guest View. Birders of every feather flocked together at the San Diego Bird Festival Feb. 27 to March 2 at Marina Village on Mission Bay. Peninsula planners balked at plans by the Navy to realign a section of its jet-fuel pipeline to Miramar along Rosecrans Street.
MARCH On March 15, Cabrillo National Monument, San Diego’s only national park, celebrated its centennial with dinner and dancing after a walk in the lighthouse at sunset. The Point Loma High School girls volleyball team seized their first CIF championship in 23 years. Claudia Jack of OB was honored as Irish Woman of the Year. Shelley Zimmerman became the first female police chief for all of San Diego. City Council passed new rules allowing mobile food trucks but required them to be at least 300 feet from residences. With the “Blackfish” backlash, a state bill that would have banned using orcas with trainers in commercial shows was unsuccessfully introFEBRUARY duced.

California lawmakers passed more than 900 laws signed by Gov. Jerry Brown during the 2014 legislative session that ended Aug. 31. Here’s a look at a few of the more impactful measures, and the subjects they affect, that have gone into effect (or will) in 2015:

Health and public safety Yes means yes (SB 967) – To receive state funding, colleges and universities must consider sexual behavior on campus consensual only if both parties actively agree to it and are not incapacitated, throwing out the old refrain “no means no” and replacing it with "yes means yes." California becomes the first state in the nation to use this rubric for sexual consent. Groundwater management (SB 1168, 1739, 1319) – This is a sweeping set of groundwater regulations that require local water agencies to manage how much water is drawn from wells. The legislatino makes California the last Western state to bring an end to “pumpas-you-please” rules during a severe drought. Plastic bag ban (SB 270) – Grocery stores across California must follow the lead of cities like Los Angeles and stop bagging items in single-use plastic bags and allowing them to charge 10 cents for paper bags. This, the first statewide plastic bag ban in the nation, is scheduled to take effect July 1. Audrie's Law (SB 838) -- Teenagers convicted of sexually assaulting someone who is unconscious or can't give consent will face stiffer punishments. The legisation also makes sexual-offender treatment mandatory for youthful offenders. The bill is named for Audrie Pott, a California teenager who committed suicide after photos of her sexual assault surfaced. Selfie revenge porn rights (SB 1255) – This expands a law that makes it a misdemeanor to distribute a naked picture of someone, often in an act of revenge, even if the photo was originally taken by the naked person. Sex abuse rights (SB 926) – Children who claim they’re victims of a sex crime have until their 40th birthday to file charges, up from their 28th birthday. This rights legislation applies only to crimes committed on or after Jan. 1, 2015.
Mandatory sick leave (AB 1522) -Starting July 1, anyone who works for 30 days is eligible to accrue sick pay under this law, known as the "Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act." About 6.5 million workers are estimated to be affected by the law. Firearms and lifestyles Massage parlor oversight (AB 1147) – Local governments get greater oversight of massage parlors, which have been used as fronts for sex trafficking. Gun owner welfare check (SB 505) – This requires law enforcement agencies to encourage their officers to consult with gun ownership records when conducting welfare checks. This is something agents didn’t do before Isla Vista shooter Elliott Rodger killed six people in May. Legislation passed by State Sen. Marty Block that took effect Jan. 1 includes: Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) staff training and protection (SB 911) – Protects seniors living in RCFEs by increasing requirements for administrators and prohibiting retaliation against employees who call 911 when residents need urgent care. Water quality testing (SB 1395) – This authorizes counties to use quicker tests to determine beach water quality if they comply with federal Environmental Protection Agency guidance. The legislation’s provisions on quicker notification to California’s 238 million beachgoers will assist in protecting public health. Other bills include mandatory reporting to OSHA (AB 326), requiring an employer's immediate report of a severe injury, illness or death to the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health; and Prevention of abusive conduct (an expansion on 2004's AB 1825), requiring that existing sexual harassment training include training on all types of abuse; and The elimination of California waiting periods (SB 1034), which prohibits group or HMO health insurance contracts from imposing waiting periods on individuals.

Second Backdoor Bandit sentenced to 14 years
County grand jury seeks applicants for duty in 2015-16
One of four Backdoor Bandits who participated in a series of armed holdups at restaurants and other businesses in Ocean Beach, La Jolla and Clairemont last year was sentenced Dec. 22 to 14 years and four months in state prison. Ryan Patrick Churchill, 23, pleaded guilty last month to 13 charges, including robbery and attempted robbery. Deputy District Attorney Jalyn Wang said 13 businesses were robbed by the four between May and August of 2013, including Roberto's Taco Shop on Voltaire Street in Ocean Beach, Rigoberto's Taco Shop on La Jolla Boulevard near Westbourne Street and the El Cotixan restaurant on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. Twenty-seven people were victimized, Wang said. Judge Charles Rogers ordered restitution to a number of victims totaling about $5,000. The judge empathized with the victims, noting their vulnerability as they were being robbed. “You wonder if you're going to die even if you comply with the robber's demands,'' the judge said. Churchill – who had dreams of being a
The San Diego Superior Court is seeking dedicated residents with sound judgment from throughout the county to serve on the 2015-16 San Diego County Grand Jury. The grand jury investigates citizen complaints and performs its traditional function as a “watchdog” over government agencies. It does not conduct criminal investigations. Applications are now available by telephone at (619) 450-7272 or in person at the San Diego Superior Court in the Jury Services Office at the central (downtown) branch and the Jury
lifeguard or a firefighter – said he was desperate for money when he took part in the holdups. “I feel absolutely horrible and disgusted with myself,” Churchill told the judge as he apologized to the victims. “It's not the way I want to live.” Churchill, Duran Caldwell, Thomas Abel Nelson and a 17-year-old boy were arrested in August of 2013 during a traffic stop not far from the scene of an armed robbery at a Smashburger restaurant on Prospect Avenue in La Jolla. Inside the defendants' car, officers found dark clothing, a black semi-automatic replica handgun, a backpack filled with cash and a cashbox from Smashburger. All defendants in the case have pleaded guilty. Caldwell was sentenced to eight years in prison. Nelson and the juvenile were scheduled to be sentenced Thursday, Jan. 8. The Backdoor Bandits moniker stemmed from the way the thieves almost always entered businesses through a rear door, according to San Diego police. Neal Putnam
Fiesta Island leads way in coastal debris cleanups The Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter and San Diego Coastkeeper have announced that more than 7,000 volunteers removed nearly 10,500 pounds of debris from coastal areas in 2014, capturing it before it could pollute the ocean. Point Loma's Fiesta Island, the groups said, led the way in pounds of trash collected. Cleanup organizers reported that the volunteers removed more than 207 pieces of trash, including more than 75,000 cigarette butts, 23,500 plastic pieces and 17,500 bits of plastic foam. Haley Haggerstone, Surfrider San Diego County Chapter manager, noted that cigarette butts move with ease through stormwater systems, meaning they don't need to be discarded at the beach for them to find their way there. “As with most of the debris we remove,” she explained, “their minuscule size can be misleading.” Items made of plastic or plastic foam took second place to cigarettes as the most prevalent type of debris removed
from county beaches. Most of these small pieces were less than one inch in diameter, and many of them were composed of nonrecyclable Styrofoam. “This trash doesn't necessarily start at the beach,” said Kristin Kuhn, Coastkeeper community engagement coordinator; “its path is one of wind and rain from the far reaches of inland San Diego County. Each year, I'm alarmed by the number of items and their weight, and I'm also reminded how these small pieces of debris indicate a much larger issue to solve.” Fiesta Island had the most trash collected, with 3.43 pounds per volunteer. Fiesta also had the most trash removed overall, with 1,127 pounds total, and the highest average pounds removed per cleanup. Some 40 cleanups are planned for 2015. For more information on them, please visit sandiego.surfrider.org or sdcoastkeeper.org. The groups ask volunteers to bring their own reusable bags, gloves and water bottles.
Lounges at the north, south and east branches of the court. You may also download an application from the San Diego Superior Court’s website at www.sdcourt.ca.gov or the grand jury’s website at www.sdcounty.ca.gov/grandjury. The 19-member body will work four days a week, about six hours a day, from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 at the Hall of Justice, located in downtown San Diego. A small stipend per day, plus mileage, and downtown parking are provided. All application forms must be received
Driver killled, passenger hurt in Ocean Beach cliff crash A 28-year-old man died at the scene and his female passenger was hospitalized after the vehicle in which they were riding ran over a cliff in Ocean Beach early Jan. 3. The crash occurred in the 1700 block of Bacon Street at 12:25 a.m., said San Diego police officer Robert Heims. Heims said the SUV was being driven south at a high speed on Bacon and missed the left turn onto Coronado Avenue. The vehicle crashed through the guard rail and a chainlink fence, landing upside down after a fall of about 100 feet, Heims said. The 24-year-old female passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Heims said. Neighbor Stan Bolle said he is not surprised this happened. “It's a dangerous area and a dangerous time of night around here,” he said, “[a] high-speed situation going down Bacon and … not being able to make the turn. I guess you go back to the old adage that nothing good happens after midnight.” Police said they believe the vehicle was going faster than 50 miles an hour. They do not believe alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash. KUSI

All candidates will be required to pass a criminal background check. Individuals meeting the above requirements are encouraged to apply.
City awarded state DUI prosecution grant Motorists arrested in San Diego for driving while impaired by drugs and alcohol will soon face prosecutors with special expertise in combating the problem. The $263,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety to the City Attorney’s Office will fund an Alcohol and Drug Impaired Driving (ADID) prosecution team that will work DUI cases from arrest through sentencing. “Too often, we’re seeing drivers impaired by drugs, combinations of drugs or alcohol and drugs,” City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said. “This grant will help our prosecution teams recognize signs of drugged driving, anticipate defense tactics and deploy the latest advances in drug toxicology to keep dangerous motorists off the streets. “By dedicating an experienced prosecutor and investigator to our most challenging cases, we expect to achieve stronger cases and stiffer sentences,” Goldsmith said.
The City Attorney’s Office receives all misdemeanor DUI arrest reports occurring within the city, excepting its South Bay communities, as well as Poway and 4S Ranch. In 2012, it issued 5,752 cases involving charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Funding from this DUI prosecution grant will aid the City Attorney’s Office in handling cases throughout each step of the criminal process, prosecuting both alcohol- and drug-impaired driving cases. Prosecution team members will work with the state’s Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor Program to expand knowledge and resources. The purpose of the program is to prevent impaired driving and reduce alcohol and drug-impaired traffic fatalities and injuries. In 2012 there were 86 deaths and 2,317 serious injuries as a result of alcohol-involved crashes in San Diego County.
IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH It's a cinch there are a few stragglers who haven't disposed of their Christmas trees yet, in which event we thought we might run these images by you. Photographer Don Balch took them as he happened by a discarded tree on Fiesta Island Jan. 3, reporting that the item went up in seconds at the touch of a match “like a Roman candle.” The end result needs no explanation – PHOTOS BY DON BALCH but we'll issue the warning anyway: Take heed.

REVIEW
Cabrillo National Monument will host the next leg of Yankee Baleeiros! The Shared Legacies of Luso and Yankee Whalers, New Bedford Whaling Museum's traveling exhibit, with a public opening on Sunday, Jan. 25. The exhibit celebrates the interwoven Portuguese-American stories of the Azorean, Cape Verdean and Brazilian communities in the United States from their early immigration in the 18th century through the latter half of the 20th century. “The importance of Cabrillo National Monument to the Portuguese diaspora makes San Diego an equally significant destination to this share this rich, cultural narrative,” said James Russell, president of the New Bedford Whaling Museum. The United States Census data suggest that 3 million American citizens identify with Portuguese, Cape Verdean or Brazilian ancestry. These distinct cultures are linked historically through heritage, language and the pursuit of opportunity afforded by the international network of Yankee whaling. It was on whaling voyages during the 1800s that mariners from the Azores and Cabo Verde first interacted with, and often joined the crews of, New Bedford whaling ships. New Bedford, Mass. became the veritable Portuguese Ellis Island from the time of Yankee whaling through the Industrial Revolution as job opportunities arose and as families joined the growing Portuguese communities in the area. On the Pacific coast, Brazil also became an influential Portuguese-speaking connection through the industry of commercial whaling. Many whalers left their ships to pursue the Gold Rush and fishing and agricultural careers, forebears of the extensive Portuguese-speaking community of California. Cabrillo Park superintendent Tom

Workman said, “We are proud to partner with the New Bedford Whaling Museum to bring this engaging and culturally relevant exhibition to San Diego. Today, California is home to the largest Portuguese population and the fifth largest Cape Verdean population in the United States. Yankee Baleeiros! reveals how the Lusophone migration is integral to the American story. See how distinct cultures and communities who share similar languages are linked by maritime commerce as well as by similar motivations for coming to America.” The exhibit will open at Cabrillo National Monument in the View Building, 1800 Cabrillo Memorial Drive, on Sunday, Jan. 25. The public is invited to attend an opening reception from 1 to 4 p.m. hosted by the National Park Service and the Cabrillo National Monument Foundation. The reception will feature remarks by Christina Connett, curator of collections and exhibitions at the New Bedford Whal-
ing Museum. The exhibition will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be on display through April of 2015. It will close Sunday, April 12 with a free public lecture presented by James Russell, president of the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Cabrillo National Monument is the first venue to host Yankee Baleeiros! in 2015. The San Diego “leg” of this exhibition is a partnership among Cabrillo National Monument and Foundation, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Consulates of Portugal in New Bedford and in California, the Maritime Museum of San Diego, the United Portuguese S.E.S. Inc., PALCUS, the Portuguese Historical Center and the School of Leadership and Education Sciences (SOLES) at the University of San Diego. The New Bedford Whaling Museum is the world's most comprehensive museum devoted to the global story of whales and the history and culture of the South Coast region.

Three Pointer boats sail formidably through Rose Bowl Regatta BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Point Loma High School's acclained sailing team sent a message to other West Coast schools at the season's first regatta last weekend: “We're baaaack!” The defending national champions entered three boats in the Rose Bowl Regatta, all three finishing in the top ten of a 30-boat fleet. While the Pointers'
eight-year reign as regatta champions came to an end, their three-boat performance showed a team strength and balance that should serve them well as the 2015 season unfolds. Hosted by the U.S. Sailing Center in Long Beach, the teams battled in 13-foot, 3-inch CFJ dinghies, each with a captain and one crew member. CFJ refers to the

crafts' design class. The regatta consisted of eight races each in Divisions A and B, with each team's place finish becoming points, totaled for the score. The Pointer varsity boat, with seniors Andy Reiter and Jennifer Johnson aboard for the A races, scored 45 points. Juniors Steve Leuck and Megan Lansdale in Division B scored 62 points. The total of 107 points was good enough to capture third place. Newport Harbor High School grabbed the trophy with a 61-point performance, highlighted by an impressive 19-point total in Division B that included four wins, two second-places and a third-place in the eight races. The second Pointer craft, labeled "Pointers JV 1," took seventh overall. Junior Jack McGraw and senior Mercedes
McPhee (74 points) sailed Division A races with junior Paul Didham and sophomore Remy Reynolds (81 points) aboard in Division B, for a 155 point total. The third PLHS entry, "Pointers JV 2," grabbed sixth overall. Seniors Johannes McElvain and Rebecca McElvain (78 points) sailed the Division A races, while freshman Jack Reiter and junior Katharine Bowman (70 points) manned Division B, for a 148 point score. Veteran coach Steve Hunt has led the Pointers to national prominence. High school sailing is conducted by the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA), with districts covering the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, Northwest and Pacific Coast areas of the United States. Leuck represented the Pointers and the
Pacific Coast region at the Cressy High School Singlehanded Championships, held in early November in Bellingham, Wash. The other main events of the season include the Doublehanded Championship (Mallory Trophy), to be held in May, hosted by the U.S. Naval Academy, and the Team Racing Championship (Baker Trophy), coming up in May and hosted by the Chicago Yacht Club. The Pointers are the defending Baker Trophy champions, having won in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 2014 Mallory Trophy regatta, won by the Pointers, was sailed last May on San Diego Bay. The team finished fourth in 2013 and 2012. The three major events are rotated annually among the seven ISSA regions.

Italy lives at The Venetian
OPEN FOR LUNCH 11am - 2pm Mon. - Fri.
San Diego's Italian community is among the city's most storied and resilient, from its post-World War II days as a major fish harvester to its present place as a business namesake (don't forget, it has an entire downtown neighborhood named after it). Cuisine, as you might imagine, also figures in its many legacies, thanks to one Vincent Giacalone, who in 1965 opened a restaurant serving up as original a fare as Giacalone could make it. Giacalone did the rest, fueling the venue's ambience while TV personalities, food writers, pro athletes and chefs passed through its doors – and today, The Venetian stands as Point Loma's hallmark to the authentic Italian experience amid 50 years worth of family recipes and strict adherence to the mechanics that make the food some of the area's best. Chances are you'll run into someone here who you or your companion knows, in which case the three of you will revel in the savory shrimp Puttanesca over linguini, the hearty eggplant Milanese or the dizzying choices of classic pastas. Owners Frank and Joe Giacalone will delight in the camaraderie, as important to them as the quality of the food. “We appreciate the local business,” they say, “and enjoy meeting the people in the community that help our restaurant prosper.” Italian cuisine and Italian esprit de corps are one and the same at The Venetian, located at 3663 Voltaire St. For more on this neighborhood staple, see venetian1965.com or call (619) 223-8197.

THURSDAY · JANUARY 8, 2015 THE PENINSULA BEACON
MUSIC
For Sandi Shaner, annual songwriters tilt is more than a contest The Performing Songwriters Competition is Sandi Shaner's way of giving back to the local arts community. COURTESY PHOTO
BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON When it comes to your favorite tune, virtuoso playing is just the icing on the cake. At the foundation is songcraft. The best tunes are instantly memorable, hook-filled ear worms that a listener wants to hear time and again. While the general public tends to assume these things are created out of thin air, in fact with rare exception, virtuosity is a skill to be honed and built upon over a lifetime of playing. Since 2007, music-oriented San Diegans have had the opportunity to take part in the Performing Songwriters Competition, an annual contest organized by Sandi Shaner. Tryouts for this year’s event take place on Jan. 11 and Feb. 22 (both Sundays) at Winston’s from 5 to 8 p.m. There is no fee to enter the contest. A panel of judges, including promoter Victor Nieto and guitarists Kisag Solis and James Steele, will award a top prize that includes $300, a demo session, a pro photo shoot, graphic design, a new guitar and a one-year membership in the songwriters guild. “We’re adding prizes daily,” Shaner said. “This is just part of what the top winner will get, with the lower tiers getting really cool shwag bags.” Shaner is a longtime advocate for local tunesmiths, performing with Top 40 band Get Groovin and running event planner Speaker Eventions. But even with a packed schedule, she’s stepped back a bit from the music side of her life.
Recently, she’s set up a nonprofit foundation to help autistic children and nonverbal physically,disabled children. “My daughter (Carly) is both,” she said. “We get iPads to kids and get them the apps,” she added. “(We) teach them how to use that to talk. My daughter, who is 5, never talked to me until she got an iPad. I never knew what she wanted.” Even as caring for her daughter takes up much of her time, the competition remained important to Shaner. “I love the San Diego songwriting community,” she said. “Even though I had to step away because of Carly’s special needs, I just keep coming back to do the contest. It’s a way for me to be giving back to the community. I don’t make money on this; I put my own money into it. But it’s worth it, because it’s enabling people who are just starting out to get their songs out there.” The contest attracts all levels of performers, which Shaner admits can make for interesting listening in the early rounds. “Performers get to do three songs,” she explained; “seven- or eight-minute songs are not going to cut it.” While melody is important, she points out there is no set way to bring your music to the stage. “A guy at one event got up and did a song on bass, using his toe to keep the beat,” she said. “I’d never seen anything like it. If he’d sung a harmony line to the bass, maybe it
would have been better, but I just applauded him for being different. It was wonderful and it was weird at the same time,” she said. Now that she's firmly established in the local arts community, what’s Shaner’s favorite thing about being a musician? “At this point, I like getting paid when I perform,” she joked. “And it took a long time to be able to say I can do that. But as far as songwriting goes, it’s promoting the art and craft so that it doesn’t disappear. We’ve got to keep it local. We’ve got to keep it going.” The 2015 songwriters competition begins Sunday, Jan. 11, at 5 p.m. Winston’s is at 1921 Bacon St. in Ocean Beach. $5, 21 and up.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES Health BRIEFS >> “Assisting with care needs when you need a little help”
Colleen Van Horn RN, BSN, PHN, CC
Hiring A Private Or NonProfessional Caregiver Piecing together care for your older parent can sometimes be a puzzle. Hiring a private caregiver from your own search or asking friends and family to help are short-term solutions for a long-term issue. It can have adverse effects for everyone involved. Hiring a caregiver privately is probably going to be cheaper. Do you want to tell your Mom you hired the cheapest caregiver you could find to care for her in her “golden” years? And the cheapest could end up being costlier in the long run. Consider these possibilities: Your private caregiver calls in sick or takes a vacation or just doesn’t show up.
Are you going to have to take off work or cancel appointments to fill in? Was a national background check done and verification of prior employment done? Is there a professional Geriatric Care Manager to supervise and mentor? Are you providing workers’ compensation insurance in case your caregiver falls or strains her back? This is extremely expensive but a required expense. Are you paying her payroll taxes and submitting the proper documents required by the government? Have you verified that the caregiver has a social security card and is legally permitted to work in CA? Now maybe “cheap” has gotten a little more costly. At Innovative Healthcare Consultants, all potential employees undergo a background check. All employees are fingerprinted. You can reach a live

Can Pre-Diabetes be Treated with Physical Therapy Using Your Health Insurance Coverage? Historically, patients who develop diabetes mellitus and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD) are frequently observed to possess a similar array of risk factors. These risk factors, which include dyslipidemia, hypertension and hyperglycemia, have been grouped into a syndrome with a pathogenisis hypothesized to be rooted in insulin resistance and central obesity. Various labels referring to this constellation of risk factors have included Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance Syndrome, and Syndrome X. While the majority of individuals exhibiting this array of risk factors do not become frankly diabetic, they do have an increased risk of developing CVD and other adverse consequences associated with insulin resistance. Logically, one would want to implement a primary prevention strategy targeting pre-diabetes and metabolic syndrome to try and avoid these adverse consequences. Currently, CVD and diabetes persist as the number 1 and number 6 leading causes of death in the U.S. Exercise is a cornerstone of treatment for prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. Regular physical activity is essential for weight loss and has been shown to improve all of the elements that comprise metabolic syndrome. As recommended in the Diabetes Prevention Program, the goal is to perform exercise 150 minutes a week. Patients will benefit from access to resources that can deliver an individualized exercise safety assessment and prescription. Metabolic Syndrome: How Is It Diagnosed? A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome requires three or more of the criteria listed: Abdominal Obesity (with a waist circumference of over 40 inches for men and over 35 inches for women); Triglycerides mg/dl (over 150mg/dl or on drug treatment for high Triglycerides); HDL or “good cholesterol” (less than 40 mg/dl for men and less than 50mg/dl for women or on drug treatment for low HDL); Blood Pressure, mmHg (systolic blood pressure over 135 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure less than 85mmHg, or on drugs to treat for hypertension); and lastly Fasting Glucose, mg/dl ( Fasting Blood Glucose of over 100mg/dl). An appropriate and consistent exercise program can have a positive effect on all five criteria for avoiding a diagnosis of Pre-Diabetes as
THURSDAY · JANUARY 8, 2015 THE PENINSULA BEACON
described previously.A licensed physical therapist can administer a prescribed exercise program under a prescription from a patient’s doctor documenting a diagnosis of Dysmetabolic Syndrome X (Metabolic Syndrome). This diagnosis is recognized by health insurance companies which would reimburse for patients skilled physical therapy sessions positively changing patient’s poor initial Metabolic Syndrome testing results with a consistent bout of prescribed exercise.
If interested in learning more about Metabolic Syndrome and the how supervised exercise under the direction of a licensed physical therapist can benefit you please contact: Greg Sterner, Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist in Physical Therapy and Owner of San Diego Sports Physical Therapy, 2750 Dewey Rd.

Denny Knox, executive director of OB MainStreet, the beach community’s 300member business improvement district, offered up a short list of things to do in the year ahead. “The OB security program will continue, and hopefully we’ll have the participation of residents in the next phase,” Knox said. Under the program, private security guards patrol the beach’s commercial district and environs, alerting police to problems. Knox said that on Tuesday, Jan. 13, the district will be hosting its annual members marketing meeting to explore the theme “growing your business beyond your existing four walls.” ‘We’re trying to get people off on the right track,” Knox said. Knox noted that the community is looking even further ahead, gearing up for the 50th anniversary celebration of OB Pier. “We be working on plans for that celebration in 2016, and I have no idea what that’s going to look like yet,” Knox said, adding the district has other irons in the fire. “We’ll be printing our new OB local business directory in early February,” Knox said. “It will bring more awareness to the general populace about our local businesses here.” Most importantly, Knox said the district will focus in the new year on “continuing to work with all the organizations that are really making things happen in the community, like the veterans plaza that we’ve put a lot of time and energy into (redeveloping), and that we hope the community will come up with

Democrat Rep. Scott Peters urges input on public concerns.
the funding for.” District 2 Councilwoman Lorie Zapf, whose District 2 includes the beachfront, said 2015 promises to be a busy year, with her citywide policy priorities including “finding a solution to our SDPD recruitment and retention problems, increasing the City’s emergency preparedness and resources for our Office of Homeland Security, and partnering with MTS to increase transportation options for seniors who can no longer drive.” Zapf said she has a number of district-specific priorities, including “a new policy for vacation rentals to protect neighborhood residents and leading the charge on plans for potential new uses of the De Anza property while assisting with the creation of the new Point Loma business improvement district.” Zapf plans to bring her successful “Pothole Patrol” program to District 2, where her staff proactively reports potholes in the district and gets them in the queue to be fixed. Nicole Burgess, a Peninsula planner and spokesperson for cycling, noted this year “brings great opportunities to become more active and enjoy our beautiful city by bike. Bikeshare is rolling out soon, and more riders will reap the benefits from active commutes to their local destinations.” Democrat U.S. Rep. Scott Peters, whose 52nd Congressional district includes the San Diego beachfront, talked about what his constituents should expect to see happening in Washington in 2015. “In the coming year,” he said, “I see three areas ripe for
action: making Congress work for the country again, creating jobs and promoting our region’s innovative sectors – this includes comprehensive immigration reform – and taking action on climate change.” Insisting “Congress is broken and needs reform,” Peters said that that necessitates “getting back to working for you. “I will be focused on making No Budget, No Pay permanent and reviewing regulations to make sure they are helping spur growth instead of delaying or stifling it,” he said. No Budget, No Pay centers on no remuneration for Congressional members if the body doesn't pass a budget. Peters noted that while the economy continues to recover and job creation picks up, “Congress must look to the future and avoid the selfinflicted crises that have kept our country from its full potential. Passing commonsense tax reform, making college affordable and upgrading our nation’s crumbling infrastructure will help the economy grow.” The congressman also maintained that “We must take action to protect our community by taking action to stop the root causes of climate change while simultaneously mitigating its harm by building up resiliency against sea-level rise, wildfires and other natural disasters. “I want to hear your suggestions for Congress,” Peters concluded, adding, “If you have comments or ideas, or if you’re having trouble with a federal agency, please contact my office in San Diego or Washington. I am here to serve you.”

RESTAURANT WEEK: OB Warehouse's décor looks good enough to eat Looks kinda like a boatload of work went into the design at the fledgling OB Warehouse, from the oversize floor plan to the rafters that oversee every manner of light fixture and the vibey, quasiindustrial, sort-of-retro-but-sort-of-not color scheme and appointments. It opened only last August at 4839 Newport Ave. in Ocean Beach, former home of the Portugalia restaurant, but the comfortably cluttered, artsy-craftsy interior is one reason it's a proud participant in the latest San Diego Restaurant Week, which runs Jan. 18 to 24 at nearly 180 eateries citywide. Off-menu items and prix fixe fare pepper the eateries' offerings, as with every restaurant week – and OB Warehouse is no different as it sets to showcase two five-course entrees alongside the hip
interior. Your first shot includes artichoke hearts, a roasted baby beet salad featuring wild argula and goat cheese, a mixed green salad consisting of pears and pomegranate, buttermilk fried chicken oysters featuring shishito peppers and buffalo sauce and slow-braised carnita sopes drowning in avocado. The second choice features a red wine-braised shortrib, grilled mahi mahi with cauliflower, royal goan shrimp with basmati rice, chimmichurri chicken with fingerling potatoes and boeuf triple-crown flatbread. For dessert, you have your pick of bread pudding, cranberry apple crisp and a bittersweet chocolate affair. Your meal will run you $30 per person, excluding tax and gratuity.
BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | THE BEACON
Any meal this sumptuous calls for compatible surroundings – and as the accompanying picture shows, the interior looks good enough to eat. In fact, one guy took a nibble out of a table leg, having mistaken it for a breadstick; he swore he'd soon be back for more. You don't have to go quite that far – the eclectic, globe-inspired menu that embraces everything from lamb burgers to ahi tartare (and a to-die-for happyhour gin and vodka cocktail) is at your disposal anytime. Ocean Beach funk and its architectural counterpart go together well here, with the great food holding considerable sway. For more about OB Warehouse, see cohenrestaurants.com/obwarehouse or call (619) 222-1700.
From the rafters on down, OB Warehouse has the vibey look you'd expect from a place in Ocean Beach.

The Ocean Beach Playhouse – anchor tenant among a series of businesses located at the site of the former Newport Avenue VFW post – has been sold for an undisclosed amount to two likeminded owners whose 23 years' creative training spans locales from Los Angeles to New York. Tes Kempner and Stu Schreiber have assumed control of the space, at the rear of 4944 Newport Ave., site of Ocean Beach's most recent effort at establishment of a permanent live theater venue. Recent productions there included JohnMichael Tebelak and Stephen Schwartz's “Godspell” and a locally written musical send-up called “Life Is a Cabernet.” The locale was the site of Ocean Beach's VFW Post 1392 thrift shop and lounge until 2010, when merchants Lynne and Paul Bolton assumed the space. Paul Bolton's Electric Chair hair salon is located at the same address, as is Lynne Bolton's Primitive Kool art gallery. The 100-seat playhouse fronts a small recording studio for rent by members of the community. Kempner and Schreiber sport extensive backgrounds in acting, directing, dance, arts education and songwriting. “This project,” reads a post on the venue's Facebook page, “has totally become (taken over?) our lives, and we have had to recalibrate our consciousness to a genuinely, delightedly joyous vibration... as we approach the profound opportunity to draw humans together for the purpose of feeling, awakening, expression and celebration.” For more information, visit obplayhouse.com or facebook.com/obplayhouse or call (619) 222-0836.

Social service providers and police held a community meeting July 10 to detail efforts to curb homelessness, an increasing problem throughout the Peninsula. The Loma Club (formerly Sail Ho Golf Club) at NTC got a new name and
YEAR IN REVIEW
rebranded itself. Apparently bowing to public pressure, the city reversed itself in allowing under-21 participants in the 61st annual Over-The-Line (OTL) tournament, with City Attorney Jan Goldsmith noting the weekend beach tournament “is a San Diego tradition that the city welcomes.” Supporters rekindled efforts to start community fundraising to expand OB’s small branch library on
Santa Monica Avenue. Point Loma Nazarene University declared itself an active member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Hodad’s hamburgers in OB marked its 45th anniversary. AUGUST Roseville residents in Point Loma began ramping up a campaign against
high-density development in their neighborhood. As the drought dragged on, the city pushed for — and got — tougher restrictions on watering. The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority was awarded for its Green Build terminal-expansion project. Peninsula planners received an update on Point Loma Village, a mixed-use condo project at Roserans and Byron streets.
PETA animal-rights activist protested SeaWorld’s orca shows by putting up a 20-foot-long banner at the airport discouraging incoming Comic-Con attendees from going to the popular marine park while they were in town. A giant abandoned remodel on Plum Street in Point Loma drew the ire of residents, planners and city officials. More than 500 guests swarmed the Cabrillo Lighthouse Aug. 25 to explore the lighthouse during free admission day as part of the National Park Service’s 98th birthday celebration. SEPTEMBER The annual Cabrillo Festival on Ballast Point in Point Loma Sept. 28 commemorated the European explorer’s first step in the New World in 1542 claiming the spot for Spain. An idea for a new pocket park on Canon Street was floated at the Peninsula Community Planning Group’s meeting. Bali Hai Restaurant on Shelter Island held a blowout to celebrate its 60th anniversary. The Point Loma Association hosted a community workshop Sept. 17 to allow local residents to weigh in on prospective Nimitz Boulevard improvements. OCTOBER The iconic Ocean Beach Youth Hostel changed ownership but not its mission as one of the pre-eminent hostels in San Diego. The Peninsula YMCA, sole bidder on a request for proposals to build a new public pool in Liberty Station, was rejected in its initial bid to build/operate a new facility. City Council voted Oct. 20 to go to “drought alert” status, requiring mandatory water-use restrictions at the end of the month in response to the severe statewide drought. Kiwanis Club of OB held its 9th annual Howl-o-Ween canine carnival pet costume contest Oct. 26 at Dusty Rhodes Park. OB’s 10th annual Oktoberfest, held Oct. 10-11, drew more than 7,000 guests.
