Lifeguards raise bar on 2013 budget goals
Bolstering business Council steps in to ease permit headaches on curbside dining

BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON City Council President Todd Gloria and council members Lorie Zapf and Kevin Faulconer recently announced their resolve to reform the lengthy and expensive permitting process restaurant owners must endure to establish outdoor dining at restaurants in their districts. “We live in a beautiful city with fantastic weather, and you shouldn’t have to pay thousands of dollars for a permit to eat outside,” said District 2 City Councilman Faulconer at a press conference at OB Noodle House on Jan. 31. Under current regulations, even for a small restaurant hoping to add a few tables outside, permitting fees are upward of $12,000 before construction can even begin. In beach communities, these prohibitive fees nearly double due to additional coastal regulations, said Faulconer. “This is the end of the road for burdensome fees and the beginning of more sidewalk dining for San Diegans,” he said. The costly, time consuming and, at times, unpredictable permitting process was brought to the attention of the council by the San Diego Chapter of the California Restaurant Association (CRA) last year, leading to a City Council discussion about how to roll back regulations for business owners and ultimately boost the local economy. “They’ve really taken a proactive approach to being business friendly, and it’s basically a common-sense approach,” said Mike Morton Jr., president of the CRA in San Diego. “It’s simple. Put more seats out on the sidewalk, create a buzz and get more people to places like the OB Noodle House and other small restaurants.” He said the small change will help grow the economy in big ways, creating jobs and adding dollars to the city as a result.

“As the economy continues to be a bit stagnant, restaurants continue to be one of the bright spots,” he said. “We’re adding good jobs and we’re adding dollars to the city and the communities they’re part of.” According to a local economic impact report released by CRA, San Diego’s 3,315 restaurants helped rake in a projected $2.9 billion in gross sales in 2012. “Restaurants are the No. 1 contributor of taxable retail sales in San Diego,” said Faulconer. That’s money that we can use to pave roads, clean beaches and keep police
and firefighters out doing what they do best. When restaurants and small businesses win, San Diegans win.” The sidewalk café proposal limits outdoor expansion of a restaurant to a single row of tables within 4 1/2 feet of the building, while still allowing a clear path of travel on the sidewalk without a barrier in between. The city’s Planning Commission will look at the proposed changes in February and the Land Use & Housing Committee will make recommendations on the proposal in March.
Peninsula Shepherd Center serves as helping hand to area seniors BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON While wisdom may ripen with age, the telltale signs of getting older grow increasingly evident with the deterioration of senses, the weakening of one’s physical prowess and an escalating susceptibility to bodily aches and pains. Although senior citizens’ minds may be sharper than ever, their ability to conduct what were once simple, daily tasks like driving, fixing up the house or picking up groceries, become arduous — at times impossible — endeavors. That’s where the locally-based senior support system, Peninsula Shepherd Center (PSC), comes in, providing essential services like transportation, home-shopping delivery and social programs for seniors ages 60 and older in Point Loma, Ocean Beach and the Midway District. “The needs of Peninsula seniors are not Peninsula Shepherd Center’s popular “Out and About Peninsula” transportation program offers seniors in Ocean Beach, Midway and Point Loma a ride to grocery stores, medical appointments and

Midway District hotel explosion, suspected drug-lab case injures 3 BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON An explosion on the second floor of the Heritage Inn, located on Channel Way near Sports Arena Boulevard, caused an estimated $600,000 in damage to the hotel and injured three of the hotel’s guests on Jan. 30, according to authorities. Just after 11 a.m., several people from the hotel called 911, saying they heard an explosion, people screaming and saw flames emitting from the building. Once fire crews arrived on scene, the blaze was extinguished within minutes, said San Diego fire department spokesman Maurice Luque. According to police reports, a 21-year-old man and a woman in her 20s were extracting hash oil from marijuana using spray cans of butane when the man lit a cigarette and ignited the butane fumes. “This is the first explosion we’ve had from [a hash oil extraction lab] in San Diego County,” said Amy Roderick,
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) spokeswoman. “A lot of times they sell that to dispensaries because the dispensaries use the hash oil in a lot of the edibles.” The man suffered critical burns over his entire body and the woman suffered serious injuries to her face, hands and feet. Another hotel guest, a 20year-old man in the adjacent room, had minor injuries to his face and hands from the blast. “The heat of the blast ignited insulation in the blown-open walls and the fire traveled up through the walls into the attic,” said Luque of the extent of the hotel’s damage, which included $500,000 in damage to the structure and a $100,000 loss to contents in the rooms affected by the blast and fire. All injured parties were transported to the UC San Diego Medical Regional Burn Center following the explosion, and the DEA is investigating the incident.

THE PENINSULA BEACON
the time for a stabbing on Newport Avenue some months earlier. A 19-year-old Ocean Beach man Gibran Torres Perez said nothing was sentenced Jan. 22 to three years in after San Diego Superior Court Judge state prison for robbing two juveniles Dwayne Moring described him as of their cell phones at knifepoint. The “being a terror in the community, judge described him as a “terror” assaulting people, (and) wearing probecause the man was on probation at tective armor.” BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON
Prosecutors agreed with the judge’s assessment. “He has been a terror throughout all of 2012,” said Deputy District Attorney Roy Lai, adding that Perez showed “a lack of remorse about his actions … and continued to carry weapons.” The robberies were committed on
Oct. 29 on Voltaire Street. Perez was on probation for an April 14 incident in which a 20-year-old man was stabbed with a metal tool and taken to a hospital. “It saddens me to see a young kid go to prison,” said Perez’s attorney, Tim Brackney, who suggested Perez get a lower sentence in county jail instead of
prison. He said the offenses occurred because Perez misused alcohol and drugs. Moring said “probation is out” for Perez with respect to the new offense, noting Perez “failed miserably” for offenses he committed as a juvenile. Perez is expected to serve 85 percent of the three-year term.

THURSDAY · FEBRUARY 7, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Catching a glimpse of one of nature’s behemoths in action BY KENDRA HARTMANN | THE BEACON Though San Diego's weather has not exactly been providing locals with bragging rights of late, it has offered a chance to prove that, even through recordbreaking low temperatures, the city continues to be America’s Finest for all the same reasons. Take, for example, the yearly phenomenon that, rain or shine, cold or hot, takes place just off the coast from December to April. The annual gray whale migration, which sees roughly 20,000 whales pass San Diego on their way to Baja California, is in full effect. Every year, starting in October, the California gray whale embarks on its 10,000-mile roundtrip journey from the Bering Sea down to the lagoons of Baja. The pregnant females — the same ones who made the trip during last year’s migration to breed in the lagoons — usually leave first, followed by the males, young adults and juveniles. Covering roughly 85-100 miles a day, most of the entire population will reach their destination by mid-January. To witness the whales’ path through San Diego’s coastal waters, Birch Aquarium, along with several other companies around San Diego — including some located in Point Loma — takes to the high seas to give locals and tourists a glimpse of nature’s longest mammal migration. On a recent whale-watching cruise (Birch offers twice-daily excursions for which it teams up with Flagship cruises), the air was brisk and the seas choppy, but that didn’t stop a couple of whales from awing the crowd with their blows and flukes. Soon after the ship left San Diego Bay, the onboard naturalist narrating the
excursion announced a blow — the visible spray of vapor that appears after the whales exhale — had been spotted nearby. The blow, the naturalist explained, is the most common way of finding gray whales in the open water (contrary to some passengers’ belief that the crew uses expensive and fancy equipment to locate the massive cetaceans). When gray whales come up to the surface to breathe, a pool of water is left on top of their head, and as their warm breath hits the cool ocean air, the pool condenses and is expelled above their heads, creating the perfect indicator for their location. Following the “footprint” — the path of calm, glassy water that trails the whales, indicating the direction in which they are swimming — our ship was able to find the whale and witness its behavior as it surfaced for five or six blows and then dove deep for a three- to five-minute “sounding dive.” A few times, the passengers crowding the deck of the ship were treated to a fluke, as the whale made a dramatic display of its tail before beginning its deep descent. Gray whales, while once hunted almost to extinction, have made an impressive comeback, with numbers now keeping them safely off the endangered species list. Growing to about 45 feet long and weighing about 33 tons, the whales live a consistent schedule of migrating to Baja — with most preferring one of three lagoons: Scammon’s, San Ignacio or Magdalena — where they rest, breed and give birth, after which they make the return journey with their new calves back up to the Arctic. When they return north, they spend about five months feeding constantly on bottom-dwelling amphipods
as they struggle to put on the six to 12 inches of blubber needed for the next migration (their prime source of food isn’t found in abundance in other parts of the Pacific, so they feed very little during the migration period). Then, the process starts all over again. In all, our cruise viewed a few gray whales (the whales usually travel alone, so seeing groups of them together is unexpected, though it occurs sporadically), along with sea lions and several pods of common dolphins. Though passengers aren't guaranteed a whale sighting, the abundant marine life in the waters off San Diego is a treat in itself. At one point as the ship reentered the bay, a group of about 10 dolphins playfully followed the ship, jumping and weaving among each other as if escorting us back home. Though the temperature called for heavy layers and the wind wreaked havoc on some passengers whose bellies didn't take kindly to the high surf, the cruise offered a chance to glimpse nature in all its glory. After all, the gray whales didn't care about San Diego’s weather woes. They continued, slow and steady and stopping briefly to allow the humans to gawk at them, on their way to their Mexican vacation.

Powers of attorneys for healthcare and for financial affairs should be done for them so they can choose who will be involved. They may also need wills and living trusts. Take your parent to their attorney to discuss the issues. Good luck and ask for assistance.

Ocean Beach Pier is very symbol of this unique beach community BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | THE BEACON The West Coast’s longest concrete pier reaches out into the ocean as Ocean Beach’s monument to recreational enjoyment. It’s a majestic piece of work. Supported by leggy pylons, it measures 1,971 feet for the benefit of walkers, skateboarders and fishermen night and day. Despite the height, though, on stormy days, high waves can still lap dangerously at its sides. In 1991, more than $2 million was spent on the pier to repair damages caused by winter storms. It’s not the longest pier in America, mind you. That honor belongs to Santa Cruz, where the pier reaches 2,745 feet. We dropped by the other day to take another look at activity there — even busy on a week day, largely because municipal pier fishermen do not need a license. Thus, there is a greater gathering. In addition, the PB Pier is reputedly one of the finest pier-fishing locations up and down the coast. The original purpose was for fishing. Anglers can be tested by tangled lines in the vast kelp and rockbeds below. However, they can avoid some of this by going to the end, where the water depth is between 25 and 30 feet. Offering more room, the T-shape end measures
360 feet to the south and 193 feet to the north. The most common fish you will see caught on the pier are herring, often called queen fish. There’s also sand bass, halibut, surf perch and the rest of the saltwater surf-zone fish ready to take the bait. There is a shop, cafe and restroom on the pier, so you can get a snack and buy glow sticks for night fishing. In late summer, upon graduation, junior lifeguards take their graduation plunge. Depending on age, there are several locations from which to swim ashore. The picturesque structure has been described as one of the most-visited landmarks in the county. It was officially christened on July 2, 1966, and at the time, an estimated 7,000 people turned out for the celebration. Gov. Edmund G. Brown, the current governor’s father, was on hand to cut the ribbon. He even fished for a couple minutes. The Ocean Beach Pier was first named San Diego Fishing Pier. In fact, the plaque is still there. I don’t know who’s doing the counting, but it has been reported that more than 500,000 visitors trod there each year. And for a terrific view, you can’t beat the sunsets.

Grocery Outlet to offer bargain prices in Point Loma BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON For budget-conscious shoppers, seeking out great deals on groceries can be an all-day treasure hunt or a downright daunting task. Those hoping to find the most rock-bottom prices — without the hassle of coupon cutting or bouncing around from one location to another — now have a new option in Point Loma’s new Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, which opens to the public on Feb. 14. The Berkeley-based Grocery Outlet brand, which launched in 1946, started as a military surplus store specializing in closeout merchandise and convenience items. Today, more than 185 independently owned stores across the United States have been serving neighborhoods with quality brand-name products at 40 to 70 percent off conventional grocery store prices. This winter, Mark and Stephanie Baldwin, along with four of their six children, moved south to warmer climates from Fortuna, California to bring the low-price model to Point Loma and surrounding neighborhoods. Mark explained the store is able to sell merchandise at such low prices by working with manufacturers to get closeout deals on overstocked or overproduced items, excess promotional goods or obsolete packages. “Maybe they’re shifting from a 32ounce to a 30.6-ounce package or something has Olympics-themed wrapping [from] when they were pushing the Olympics. The items are perfectly good, they just need to move them along the supply chain and get them out there,” he said. “Even though we specialize in closeouts, I want people to understand that we have fresh merchandise.” Although shoppers can certainly complete their shopping trip at the 10,000-square-foot store, the Baldwins explained that the inventory shifts based on what deals are available to them. “It’s always changing, so if you see something that you like, buy it now because it might not be here next week,” said Stephanie. Those who enjoy the treasure hunt will love the store for some of its interesting finds, including items from the store’s NOSH (natural, organic, specialty and health) section, fresh produce, wine and beer, health and beauty items,

world-class beach and you see our rusted mobile-minis. Ocean Beach has two of them. Mission Bay has several of them and South Mission Beach, North Pacific Beach and the Children’s Pool each have them, too,” he said. “We’ve really got to get out of the trailer, mobile-mini business and really try to make some progress on facilities.” STAFFING The lifeguard union’s next greatest concern is increasing staffing levels for the safety of beachgoers and baygoers along San Diego’s coastline. “The public pays us for the guards that rescue them,” said Harris. “Our priority is there — lifeguards, not upper management. We want to prioritize guards in the field. In Mission Bay and the surrounding coastline, we want to get to a point where we can manage them again and be proactive, rather than reactive.” He said the staffing level on the Boating Safety Unit (BSU) is inadequate to handle

and even a small selection of clothing — all at low prices. “We’re only 10,000 square feet on the sales floor, so we have to use every inch wisely,” said Mark. “We don’t necessarily have the same skus — skus being the number of items — as big grocers, but you can definitely complete your shopping trip here.” With 30 years of experience in the mainstream-grocery business, Mark knows how grocery stores and their prices operate — and raising six children helped the Baldwins understand the value of a great bargain. “It’s one of our missions to touch lives — to impact people’s lives in a positive way,” said Mark. “People who deserve a bargain, people who need a bargain, people who just like a bargain.” Coming from the corporate culture of Safeway — the second-largest supermarket chain in the nation — to owning and operating a mom-and-pop-style store is something the pair is looking forward to, they said. “It’s an exciting change for us,” said Mark. “You know as an operator, as a merchant, what makes sense and what you should be doing. You’re not beholden to stockbrokers. As an operator, I had 130 employees, but I was constantly running administration drills and I had no time to connect with my staff or
multiple emergencies, especially in the winter months or at night. “The BSU hasn’t seen a staffing increase for its winter and night staffing in over 25 years,” he said. “We’re hoping to get two 24-hour positions — two more boating safety officers year-round, 24 hours a day.” Harris said in the case of the Santa Clara yacht fire in Mission Bay last year, his guards were delayed 16 to 18 minutes in getting to the fire because multiple calls came in at once. “They started on the rescue boat for the original call, then when the second call came in, which was the fire on Santa Clara, they had to come in and get the fire boat,” he said. “We have the only fire apparatus that doesn’t have dedicated staffing.” Other staffing objectives include staffing Windansea with a permanent summer lifeguard and countering the attrition of seasoned lifeguards. “We have a huge attrition problem in the next five years,” Harris said. “The majority of our boating safety officers will be retiring between now and the next six years. That’s a big deal. Historically, it takes seven to eight years to make a level-three
my customers.” He and Stephanie plan to embrace that owner-operator interface with their customers and facilitate a daily interaction with their team of approximately 30 staff members. “We really want to set ourselves apart with our customer service and people being able to see the owner-operators on a daily basis. We’re going to run a very clean store,” said Stephanie. “I want it to feel like they’re coming into our home.” Point Loma Grocery Outlet will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for employees and staff members on Feb. 13, with a soft opening on Feb. 14. On Feb. 16, the Baldwins will host a grand-opening event to reflect their commitment to serving the community. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Point Loma High School Instrumental Boosters and a palette of merchandise will be donated to Ocean Beach-based fooddistribution nonprofit Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry, who the grocers will partner with throughout the year with food drives, discounts on items and weekly donations. Point Loma Grocery Outlet is located at 3948 W. Point Loma Blvd. For more information, visit www.groceryoutlet.com/pointloma-ca or call (619) 7041440.

unlike the needs of many seniors aging in America. Seniors want to remain independent and in their own homes,” said PSC’s executive director, Jeannie Bailey. “Research shows that one of the biggest problems seniors face is isolation. Many PSC programs are developed and implemented with that in mind.” The center’s “Out and About Peninsula” senior transportation program, which is partially funded by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), offers seniors a daily vanshuttle service to local markets or a volunteer service that provides private rides to medical appointments and other essential errands with a personal volunteer. “Our ‘Out and About Peninsula’ senior transportation program not only provides a much-needed ride, but also socialization with other seniors on the van -huttle and one-on-one time with a volunteer driver,” said Bailey. Other socialization opportunities are available through PSC’s senior course offerings and gatherings, like a computer class, legal-aid services and a monthly lunch club.

THURSDAY · FEBRUARY 7, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON
New format will change the face of CIF playoffs for San Diego schools BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON For 52 years, San Diego high schools have been divided into competitive divisions for playoffs, based strictly on campus enrollment. Those days largely came to an end in January when the local section of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Board of Managers approved a dramatically different format for seven team sports. Beginning with some fall sports, a mathematical formula using state rankings, playoff appearances and opponents’ records will be used to assign each school to a division for playoff purposes only. The formula looks at a school’s performance over the previous five years, placing greater weight on the most recent years. At the top of each sport will be an “Open Division” composed of the top eight teams in the section in a given sport. All eight will enter the playoffs to determine a champion. The next four divisions (I, II, III, IV) ranked similarly, will send the top 12 teams into playoff action, while Div. V will send eight teams. Open division winners will be designated as section champions, while others will be crowned as division winners. The new plan took 18 months to fine-tune and coincides with the hir-
ing of Jerry Schniepp as the section’s fifth commissioner. “This is the right thing for the section,” Schniepp said later. “I think after the [board] vote, a vast majority see it as a good thing, too.” PLHS athletic director John Murphy has been an advocate for CIF change. Murphy and others applied growing pressure to change the section’s playoff format — a move that gathered support over time. Proponents calculated, for instance, that five schools (La Costa Canyon, Torrey Pines, Cathedral Catholic, Coronado and La Jolla Country Day) won 48 percent of the section’s championships last year. “That’s just crazy,” Murphy said. Under the newly adopted plan, baseball programs and boys’ and girls’ lacrosse will begin the new system this spring. Football and girls’ volleyball will join in the fall, with boys’ and girls’ basketball added next winter. Other team sports (boys’ and girls’ soccer, field hockey and boys’ and girls’ water polo) may be included in the new system in the future if a ranking system can be agreed upon. Until then, these sports will remain in enrollment-driven divisions. And sports that emphasize individual ability of both boys and girls (cross country, water polo, track and field, golf, tennis, swimming and gymnastics and wrestling) will also

remain in divisions based on enrollment. “This whole thing is great for the best teams to be competing against the best,” Schniepp said. “It’s great for the other teams not in the open division because they will now be competing against programs just like them.” What does this mean for Point Loma High teams? No sports made
the new elite Open Division, but two will compete in Div. I. The breakdown: Baseball: The Pointers will compete in Div. II (18 teams, 12 advance to playoffs) Boys’ lacrosse: Div. II (22 teams, 12 advance) Girls’ lacrosse: Div. II (16 teams, 12 advance). Football: Div. I (16 teams, 12 advance).
Girls’ volleyball: Div. I (18 teams, 16 advance) “I don’t see this being a major change for us in football,” said Pointer head coach Mike Hastings. “Many of our previous playoff opponents are in Div. I and there are some new schools like Valhalla, Carlsbad, Vista and San Pasqual.” For more information, visit the CIF website at www.cifsds.org.

Spring PLHS alumni games on tap BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON
Pointer Jamal Agnew’s free throw with only 4.2 seconds left in the game sealed a wild 39-35 victory over host Coronado Islanders on Feb. 1 that kept his team undefeated in league play. The victory sets up a big matchup Feb. 8 as the Pointers (9-0 in Central League, 14-7 overall) host league foe Clairemont (1-7 in Central League, 219 overall) in a game that should officially clinch the league title for the Dogs. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. after the girls’ varsity game at 6 p.m. The Feb. 1 game on the Islanders’ court gave the Pointers a season sweep in the schools’ home-and-home series following a 46-41 Pointer win at home on Jan. 11. In what is rapidly becoming a spirited hoops rivalry between the two schools, Agnew proved the biggest thorn in the Islanders’ side, scoring 18 points in the first meeting, followed by 16 in the rematch. Both were teamleading totals and include 16 of 19 freethrow shooting. The Pointers employed a fast, harassing style of defense in both games, leading to a total of 25 steals by Grant Wilburn (9), Agnew (8) and Dillon Fitzsimmons (6). Pointer coach Chris Brisco said he is confident his team will prevail as league champs. “We would have to lose all three of our remaining league games, and that isn’t going to happen,” he said, as Pointer fans celebrated the big road win.

Therapy for Alzheimer’s Patients Improves Life
Grab Bars Provide Safety for Seniors
Even though there is not yet a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, researchers have been looking into therapies that can improve a person’s quality of life, possibly lessen some of their symptoms and help them function better. Notepad Computers – These same lightweight touchscreen computers, with puzzles, games and apps, are being used to exercise the person’s mind, help them improve their dexterity and even help remind them of things. The games help the person feel that they’ve accomplished a task and are successful. Bright Lights – A study that was published in the Journal of the AMA found that either intensive light therapy or UV light therapy has helped a person with memory issues have better cognition and helps improve mood. It may be especially helpful with sundowning behavior. Art – This is increasingly being seen at museums around the country, where there are programs for people with Alzheimer’s to view and create art. The result of this therapy lasts well past the therapy session. “Comfort Food” – It is being researched that letting the person have that extra piece of pie or that nighttime drink makes the person more content and peaceful. This could cause them to need less medication. Tell a Story – Having the Alzheimer’s patient in a group, looking at pictures and making up a story about that picture helps the person be creative, as well as helping them socialize. No therapy at this time can reverse Alzheimer’s, but more people are working to help improve the quality of life. For more help in dealing with an Alzheimer’s patient, call the RN care managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants at 1.877.731.1442 or see us online at www.innovativehc.com.
SAN DIEGO GRAB BARS is dedicated to helping you stay independent and safe in your own home. We offer grab bars, shower seats, and hand held shower heads to help make the bathroom a safer environment. And while the bathroom is where people normally think that they need grab bars, we can install hand rails and grab bars anywhere in your home: next to the bed, at the top of the stair case, in the hall or outside the back door. When we visit you, we bring along a great selection of products for same day installation. Decide what diameter and texture feels best before you buy. We can match the finish of your existing hardware. Falls are one of the main reasons peo-
ple leave home and move into assisted care. Let us help you prevent falls and stay in the home you love.

comedian’s generosity. Assistant coach Miles Doughty, a former Pointer wrestler, is a founding member of the nationally known musical band Slightly Stoopid, along with classmate Kyle McDonald. Formed in 1995 in Ocean Beach, the band has appeared on tour with other major acts, while releasing seven studio albums and attracting a following that includes comedian George Lopez. While playing in a celebrity golf tournament, Lopez learned of Doughty’s love of wrestling and involvement with the Pointer team. When asked what his wrestlers could use, Doughty mentioned the team’s outdated mat used for matches in the school’s Trepanier Gym. Lopez told Doughty to order a new mat through the comic’s foundation, and the Pointers are now competing on a state-of-the-art mat that cost $10,000. It features the Pointer logo and a ribbed backing that makes it much easier to set up and remove. Meanwhile, Doughty and his bandmates are on tour. In his absence, his father, Brian Lamb, a former Pointer wrestling head coach, is assisting head coach Phil Moore as the Pointers pursue a league title. — Scott Hopkins

Rhoads’ trey with just over three minutes remaining gave PLNU (9-10, 5-6 PacWest) a two-point lead, its first since early in the half and PLNU would never again trail. NDNU (3-17, 2-10 PacWest) would answer with a basket to tie the game but Jessica Escorza would then seal the win for the Sea Lions by hitting a driving layup and knocking down two free throws in the final minute. That go-ahead trey was one of five 3pointers Rhoads knocked down in the contest en route to recording her season-high in points. The Sea Lions also got 11 points and four steals apiece from Escorza and Savannah Erskine. PLNU
Girls’ soccer closing in on league title The Lady Pointer soccer team is nearing a City League championship with league play almost complete. Sporting a league record of 4-0-2 (96-3 overall), the Pointers, under head coach John Murphy, have two remaining league matches against Clairemont on Feb. 13 and Madison on Feb. 14. Both encounters will take place on the Pointers’ Bennie Edens Field at home with 3 p.m. starts both days. Team scoring is evenly distributed this season, with four players leading goal scoring. Jewell Roth (senior midfielder), Taylor Hopkins (sophomore midfielder/forward), Jordan Patane (freshman midfielder/forward) and Graysen Choy (junior defender/midfielder) are tied for the lead with three apiece. Goaltending duties have been shared as well, with senior Mia Sakasegawa owning a 1.2 goals-against average. Junior Jordan Green sports a 1.8 average, freshman Brynn Kays has posted a 2.3 mark and freshman Grace Haselton holds a .5 record. Shutouts have been credited to Green (four), Kays (three), Sakasegawa (two) and Haselton (one). — Scott Hopkins
forced the Argonauts into 20 turnovers, while committing just 11 of their own. The Sea Lions would outscore NDNU 23-8 in points off turnovers. Point Loma trailed 26-25 at the half and by as many as seven with five minutes remaining before outscoring NDNU 13-3 down the stretch to earn the win. The comeback was made possible by PLNU dominating in the paint and on second chance points in the second half. The Sea Lions outscored the Argonauts 18-4 on points in the paint and 6-0 on second chance points during the second period. The Sea Lions will now begin a fivegame road trip, with the first four in Hawaii. They will open with Hawaii Pacific on Saturday, Feb. 9 and then face BYU-Hawaii on Monday, Feb. 11.
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT OB novelist finds success amid field’s downward trend BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | THE BEACON The die is cast for wannabe novelists, and it’s been that way for years. Annual surveys show publishers accept fewer than three fiction manuscripts for every 1,000 submissions. Years can pass between approval and that first book signing at the local convention or coffee shop. In the mainstream book industry, the catch-phrase “the writer’s art” has been replaced by something a little more succinct: “Hurry up and wait.” Richard Platt, an Ocean Beach playwright and author, knows the game pretty well. One publisher kept him on tenterhooks for 11 months as it made plans to produce his debut novel and then dropped them without explanation. About a year and a half and a zillion firms went by before Tyndale House Publishers released “As One Devil to Another, a Fiendish Correspondence in the Tradition of C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters.” But released it was in April — and Platt, who’s been writing for about 10 years and calls Lewis his patron saint — has plenty to say about the industry and its direction, even as more manuscripts see the light of day than ever before. “The Screwtape Letters,” published in 1942, centers on a series of 31 letters between devils Screwtape and Wormwood, with Screwtape advising his protégé on how to undermine the newfound hope of a guy called The Patient. The Patient is killed in a World War II air raid

BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON There are several options in the area when it comes to learning the art of music, but nothing comes close to Rock and Roll San Diego. Located at 3360 Sports Arena Blvd., the school opened in June 2011. Like other such schools, it teaches students how to play an instrument and then moves them to the live stage. But that’s where the similarities end. Founded by guitarist Mark Langford, the school offers — in addition to basic music education — just about everything needed for a professional musician: rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, instrument rentals, repairs, a talent agency, two management companies and more. It’s a testament to the quality of the operation that bands as big and diverse as legendary new wave combo The B52s and hardcore heroes Pierce the Veil have been in residence recently. Meanwhile, Rock and Roll San Diego also houses a noted local record company, Pacific Records, with a roster that includes such notables as Sprung Monkey, Social Club, Samantha Clemons and Jimmy Patton. At 13,000 square feet and 26 rooms, it’s an impressive undertaking. “It’s really for professionals, but we’re ‘allowing’ students to come in and learn at a professional facility,” Langford joked.
Though he can’t point to any one inspiration for launching the school, Langford said his motivation came simply from feeling he “needed to give back and contribute.” Rock ’n’ roll isn’t the only music supported at the school, which boasts

“some of the best teachers in town.” A particular point of pride includes having Lito Romero of classical guitar icons The Romeros as executive director of the classical program. Langford himself is perhaps best known for his time in metal band Bible Black, though these days he focuses on classical and flamenco guitar. He acknowledges there is competition in the music-education market. “There is, but we’re a whole different ball game,” he said. “I feel we’ve one-upped everybody. Most places just

teach you to make music, some even to get on stage. We (also) teach and inspire students to create and write music. “I feel so strongly about people creating their own music. That’s one of the things that’s important to me.” Langford sees music as more than just playing a particular instrument or finding a particular niche to occupy. At Rock and Roll San Diego, students are immersed in all aspects of the music biz. “When a student comes in you don’t just learn to play or sing,” he said. “We teach them the music business, we teach them a little bit about production, so that when they’re in the studio they know how to communicate with the engineer, when they’re on stage they know what monitors are, they know mic placement and so on. All the students who are involved help each other in recital, from the sound engineering to the videography, so they’re not alone when they go out there, they’re part of a team. “Without the arts, we end up with doers, not thinkers. And this creates thinkers,” he said. “I know that most students will probably not make a career of it, but they can think outside the box when they become a lawyer, doctor or engineer. What we’re giving them is creativity and discipline — knowing how to learn.” For more information, visit www.rockandrollsandiego.com.

PLNU ‘Writers Symposium by the Sea’ to celebrate the storytellers BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON Nearly two decades ago, Dean Nelson, founder and director of Point Loma Nazarene University’s (PLNU) journalism program, launched “Writer’s Symposium by the Sea” with an aim to inspire student writers outside the classroom through engagement with the great literary geniuses of this generation. Over time, the symposium grew into multiple days of lively interviews and practical workshops targeting writers who hoping to rub elbows with successful writers, become inspired to create their own literary works or simply learn about the power of the written word. “The evening interviews are more like ‘Inside The Actor’s Studio’ and the afternoon workshops are much more practical and applied,” said Nelson. “Several of us throughout the university brainstorm all year long, and the sentence usually begins with a statement like, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could get …’ and then the conversation takes off from there.” After a lot of dreaming, networking and phone calls, the all-star lineup of writers for the symposium is set for the highly anticipated event. This year, the symposium will feature interviews with award-winning religion columnist Cathleen Falsani, U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins and PLNU alumni and singer-songwriter Bryan Bangerter, among others. “When the final event of the symposium is over, I hope members of the audience will be better readers
people can articulate how beautiful and messy and complicated and scary and deep and wonderful it is to be a human being,” said Nelson. “Good writing connects humanity in a unique way. And if we inspire someone to become a great storyteller, that would be success for us.” This year’s symposium will kick off on Thursday, Feb. 14 with an evening of monologues and anecdotes by Midwest humorist, author and radio star Garrison Keillor at PLNU’s Brown Chapel. Tickets to the event are $35 to $55 and are available online at www.pointloma.edu/event/garrison-keillor-returnsplnu-valentines-day-2013 or by calling (866) 745-0575.

All Beasts Blessed in Old Town Last Sunday The fourth annual Blessing of the Animals in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park attracted more than 500 attendees and their pets this past Sunday. This was the highest attendance recorded in the event’s history. From a blue tonged lizard to a wolf hybrid dog, all animals were blessed by Monsignor Mark Campbell. Participating exhibitors included animal adoption agencies such as the Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego and Shelly’s Shelter. Chopper the Biker Dog and Sindi Somers were on hand to entertain and educate the crowd. Sponsored by Old Town’s Fiesta de Reyes, the event also featured a pet costume contest and a pet and owner look-a-like contest. Historically, this event has been happening for more than 300 years – dating back to the 1700s.
