Optimists put U.S flag front and center for all BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON For nearly 50 years, a patriotic display of American flags has lined Rosecrans Street along a two-mile stretch from Lytton to Talbot streets. Like clockwork, more than 160 flags are systematically erected at 7 a.m. every Sunday and on federal holidays and methodically removed by nightfall. The group behind this longstanding gesture — the Optimist Club of Point Loma — is the same group that has been dedicated to supporting a large number of Point Loma and Ocean Beach-based youth programs for nearly 60 years. “Every dime that we make goes entirely toward supporting youth activities,” said Barry Rogers, Optimist member and chairman of the nonprofit’s Friends of the Flag program. “We entertain requests from any youth activity in the area, and we’re pretty flexible about where we donate our money. If it’s somebody in need and it’s a worthy cause in our area, we usually support them.” Over the years, a number of community organizations, sports teams, scholarships and projects, ranging from the Peninsula SEE FLAG, Page 6

Barnard to celebrate Chinese New Year, bridge gap to Asian communities BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON
B
arnard Mandarin Chinese Magnet School is helping connect its students to San Diego’s diverse Asian communities with the school’s festive, communitywide Chinese New Year celebration on Saturday, Feb. 23. The one-of-a-kind celebration pays homage to the Lunar New Year, an annual holiday that has been celebrated for thousands of years through various traditions in Asian communities around the world. “It has been celebrated for 2,000-plus years in China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Laos,” said Barnard’s principal, Edward Park. “There’s a huge amount of folks practicing,
and people get to see the ways that different communities celebrate — whether it’s the type of food you eat, the type of outfits you wear, the cultural component of respecting the elders or the bowing ceremony.” Barnard’s fifth annual event, which is free and open to the public, will feature traditional lion dances, martial arts demonstrations, classical Chinese music performances and other live entertainment by cultural partners throughout San Diego and the talented students at Barnard Elementary. “We reached out to the Chinese-American community in San Diego and all the Asian communities that celebrated the Lunar New Year, and they all came along to perform for our school,” said Park. “It started small, but
gradually the word spread.” Now, the diverse festival boasts a number of strong community partners — like Balboa SEE NEW YEAR, Page 6 Point Loma Optimist Club president Fernando Mesquita presents an American flag to Joe Watkins, vice president of external relations at Point Loma Nazarene University, for the school’s contribution to the Courtesy photo youth advocacy nonprofit's flag program.

A humbled Maureen O’Connor faced reporters Feb. 14 in a downtown restaurant an hour after she entered an agreement with federal prosecutors to repay $2 million that she gambled away from her late husband’s charitable trust. O’Connor, 66, who was San Diego’s mayor from 1986 to 1992, used a cane and a family friend to help her walk into and out of the room. Attorney Eugene Iredale said she would take no questions, adding that she is still recovering from brain surgery, in which a large tumor was removed in 2011. Iredale and Assistant U.S. Attorney Phillip Halpern told reporters earlier that both sides agreed her health was too fragile for a trial and so she entered into an agreement that halted criminal proceedings for two years with the promise of repaying the $2 million.

Scripps Health stepping in to ease hospice void BY KENDRA HARTMANN | THE BEACON With the recent developments at San Diego Hospice (SDH) — starting with a Medicare audit questioning how the organization qualifies patients for reimbursement and ending with SDH applying for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Feb. 4 — San Diego has been left to wonder what will become of the hospice care that was
once so readily available. Swooping in to answer that question is one of the region’s largest health-care providers, Scripps Health. With SDH’s ongoing investigation and resultant downsizing, Scripps — the largest referral source for SDH — has stepped in to relieve some of the deluge of patients. “We’ve never opened our own hospice because the community needs
were being met by San Diego Hospice, Elizabeth Hospice and other hospices in the community,” said Chris Van Gorder, Scripps president and CEO. “We were approached a couple months ago [by SDH] when they realized they were going to have these challenges, because we were all concerned. They were concerned, and I was concerned, about the patients being cared for in hospice and we

patients that qualify for hospice care.” “But the way I look at it is that rules are rules,” he said. “There are a lot of hospice organizations around the country that are following the rules, and it requires a lot of administrative and clinical oversight. And who knows — maybe the rules will change over time. But our responsibility — and we’re a heavily regulated industry, and that’s the reason we have a significant compliance department — is to make sure we do everything we can to follow the guidelines set up by the government.” For more information, visit www.scripps.org.

wanted to make sure together that their care would not be disrupted in any way.” At the suggestion of SDH, Scripps decided to go into the hospice business. And because becoming a new hospice care provider in California entails a long and arduous licensing process, Scripps decided to purchase a smaller organization, Poway-based Horizon Hospice, allowing patient care to begin — and continue, for Horizon’s existing patients — almost immediately, as opposed to the delay that could have taken up to a year. “We were concerned that San Diego Hospice’s challenges might not permit a long ramp up and licensing process, so that’s why we purchased a hospice instead,” Van Gorder said. “Now we have the licensure in place already.” As to the question of how SDH, the state’s largest hospice, found itself in this situation in the first place — and how other providers can assure they don’t suffer a similar fate — Van Gorder admitted that “there are individuals concerned about the rigid rules Medicare has set up around

Kite Festival moves to new location for 65th installment BY ETHAN ORENSTEIN | THE BEACON The Ocean Beach Kiwanis Kite Festival will celebrate its 65th anniversary at Dusty Rhodes Park on Saturday, March 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The new location, located on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard at the corner of Nimitz Boulevard, is just one of a few changes during this festival, and event chair Melanie Nickel expects this year to be one of the best of its kind — ever. “We’re doing a couple of things to make it bigger and better this year,” Nickel said. “This year, we’re getting much more of a kite emphasis. We’re having much more kite stuff for grownups, you could say.” Along with kite building, carnival rides, food, a craft fair and live music by Beer Feet, the festival will also feature demonstrations and performances by kite professionals from the San Diego Kite Club and other Southern California kites clubs between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. “For the stunt flying, they do coordinated dancing,” Nickel said. “They can make a kite dive to the ground, stop one foot off the ground and turn the other way.” This year’s festival will also honor those who took part in the very first Ocean Beach Kiwanis Kite Festivals between 1948 and 1953. Nickel said everybody who attended the first festivals should go to the registration area, where they will receive a special ribbon and be recognized as “founder alumni.” “It’s the oldest kite festival for children in the country,” Nickel said. “We know there are people in Point Loma and Ocean Beach who came to the first festivals, and we want to honor them.” Nickel said children of all ages can build and decorate kites with a new kitebuilding kit. Children can also enter a

contest for the best-decorated kite at noon. Prizes will be awarded around 1 p.m., depending on how quickly the judges can examine all the kites. “We normally make about 700 kites in the morning. The kids come from all over the elementary, junior high and senior high schools and outside the area,” Nickel said. “We normally have about 1,000 people sometime during the day.”
Registration for next September has begun! We serve children ages 2-5 years old and provide a well-planned, developmentally age-appropriate preschool program for children in a Christian setting, taught by qualified teachers. We have low child to teacher ratioʼs and large classrooms for the children. Morning or Afternoon ½ day classes available.
Please call Nicole Hage at 619-223-3327 to get more information and to schedule a tour.
The festival is free, and the Kiwanis Club of Ocean Beach puts on the event in cooperation with the Ocean Beach Recreation Center. Recreation center director Brian Anthony said he is looking forward to the event. His aunt owned a kite store and he enjoys flying kites. “We’re really just looking forward to the 65th year, honoring a tradition in Ocean Beach,” Anthony said. “It will be great with more space over at Dusty Rhodes.” Parking for the event is available at Dusty Rhodes Park on the Sunset Cliffs Boulevard side. Additional parking is located across the street at Robb Field. “This is such a fun thing,” Nickel said. “I love a quote I overheard some people saying at one of the kite festivals, ‘It’s family, it’s fun and it’s free, what’s not to like?’” For more information visit www.oceanbeachkiwanis.org or email oceanbeachkiwanis@gmail.com.

NEWS QUICKHITS Search on for OB bank robber FBI and police officials are hunting for a man who robbed the U.S. Bank in Ocean Beach on Feb. 8. Authorities said a man entered the U.S. Bank at 4827 Newport Ave. around 3 p.m. and walked up to a teller with a demand note. The suspect was given an undisclosed amount of money. The man fled the bank on foot. He is described as a white male in his 40s, about six feet tall, medium build, with a goatee. He was wearing a dark-gray beanie with a light-gray windbreaker with dark stripes down the sleeves and white rubber gloves. He was carrying a blue bank bag.
Sprint Store robber simulated handgun Police are probing the recent robbery of the Sprint Store on Rosecrans Street, during which the suspect simulated having a handgun. The robber, described as a black man, entered the store on Feb. 9 shortly before 7 p.m. and demanded cash from the employees. The man fled on foot with cash and wireless phones. He was described as being in his late 20s to 30s, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, wearing a ski mask, a red-and-black jacket and black jeans. There were no injuries reported.
7-Eleven robbers plead not guilty Two men face a March 11 preliminary hearing on charges they robbed two 7-Eleven stores on Midway Drive in 2012, as well as 13 other stores. Alex Sanchez, 23, and Luis Alonso Cruz, 25, have pleaded not guilty to the robbery series, which took place from July 25 to Sept. 17. Cruz is also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, as he was convicted of burglary in 2010, according to court records. The 7Eleven stores were located at 2387 and 3185 Midway Drive when they were held up in August. The pair was arrested Sept. 24 by La Mesa police. Sanchez and Cruz remain in jail on $500,000 and $700,000 bail, respectively. — Neal Putnam
Self-proclaimed ‘world’s dumbest bank robber’ gets 7 year sentence A Point Loma bank robber who described himself in a letter to a judge as “the world’s dumbest bank robber” because his getaway car had a license plate with his last name was sentenced Feb. 11 to seven years in federal prison. Robert “Bobby” Nathan Alm, 27, admitted he robbed the Chase Bank on Midway Drive on Jan. 14, 2012, mak-
ing off with nearly $3,000. A witness wrote down the getaway vehicle’s personalized license plate, “ALMDUDE.” U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Huff ordered Alm to repay the stolen money to the bank and ordered Alm’s 9 mm caliber Glock firearm forfeited. Alm pleaded guilty Nov. 1. Alm wrote a five-page letter to Huff, saying, “I always wanted to be perfect, inside and out. Now I am officially ‘The World’s Dumbest Bank Robber’— so much for perfect.” In his letter, Alm apologized and told Huff he had been recently diagnosed with bipolar personality disorder. He wrote of his desire for treatment. “I am aware there may be emotional trauma in the victims of my robbery, and I feel horrible about that fact. I am extremely grateful that no one was physically injured,” wrote Alm. Huff imposed a five-year mandatory term for using a gun in a federal crime and 24 months consecutively for the holdup. Alm’s attorney sought a 61month sentence. The prosecution asked for 90 months. — Neal Putnam

Surfer tests skill, bravery on Mavericks’ beastly swells BY DON BALCH | THE BEACON In the world of extreme thrill seekers, surfers have been increasingly upping the ante. For more than 50 years, the modern era of surfers has always had a select group that chased after the major rush of paddling into and riding truly big, scary and dangerous waves. A number of the early 1950s- and ’60s-era big-wave riders learned their basic skills riding the reef breaks of La Jolla before attempting to tackle spots like Waimea Bay and the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. In the decades since, big wave riding has evolved tremendously with superior surfboards, better-conditioned athletes and personal watercraft that started towing surfers into mountainous waves. Holding a towrope and already foot-strapped and standing, surfers were being whipped by jet skis into waves once thought too big to paddle into. The last decade saw a quantum leap in monster-size waves being ridden at places like Cortes Bank, (an underwater mountain peak 100 miles out to sea off Point Loma that can easily handle 75-foot waves) and Mavericks near Half Moon Bay. Lessons learned from a few years of tow-ins on these giant waves started motivating a select group of surfers to pursue a more purist form of surfing, using only their paddling strength to launch into these behemoth swells. Emboldened surfers have, of late, been successfully catching and riding monster waves, which, five years ago, were accessed strictly by tow-ins. Derek Dunfee is one of these big wave-riding purists. The 30-year-old professional surfer grew up at Windansea Beach and still lives there today. He developed a taste for thick, powerful waves riding the reefs of La Jolla and then tackling the giant surf off the Isla de Todos Santos near Ensenada. He first surfed at Half Moon Bay’s Mavericks in November 2004. A winter break off Pillar Point near the village of Princeton-by-the-Sea, Mavericks was named in 1961 after a surfer’s German shepherd that routinely followed his master into the break. A quarter-mile offshore, the wave doesn’t even begin to break unless the swells are solidly over 10 feet and the location can easily hold waves with 40-foot-plus faces. The water is cold, and the wave rises up and pitches out with incredible power delivering major punishment to the surfer who doesn’t successfully make the elevator drop-in. Brutal underwater hold-downs are guaranteed after a wipeout and giant

rocks await if one is swept inside. Two world-class big wave riders — Mark Foo and Sion Milosky — have died after wiping out and drowning at Mavericks. “I thought Mavericks was the scariest wave I had ever seen,” recalls Dunfee about his first time paddling out. He paid some heavy dues there and in other big-wave locations culminating in a Billabong XXL Monster Paddle Award in 2009 for a beast of a wave he caught and rode at Mavericks. On Jan. 20, the Mavericks Invitational big wave-riding competition was held for the first time since 2010, during which a rogue wave unexpectedly rolled far onshore, knocking down and injuring dozens of spectators who were swept along the steep cliff beach by a flood of water. Dunfee was selected as an alternate to compete in this year’s event. It’s a prestigious honor to be invited, and though a spot didn’t open up for him during the contest, he was on hand to tackle the waves before and after the event. “I rode a 10-foot Stu Kensonshaped board and the conditions were perfect, although very inconsistent,” he said. The waves were in the 12- to 15foot range, with sunny skies and a light wind. The beach was closed for spectators after the wave carnage of 2010, but a nearby festival was held in Princeton with a live, big-screen feed being aired for the thousands who showed up to watch the spectacle, and to watch 43-year-old Mavericks veteran Peter Mel win this year’s
event. “Peter Mel is one of the best Mavericks surfers ever,” Dunfee said afterward. “He still catches huge waves every swell and he deserved the win.” Dunfee is now waiting for the last few big swells of the winter at home in La Jolla, and he hopes to score some size at Isla de Todos Santos, as well. He is an alternate at Waimea Bay’s annual The Quiksilver In Memory of Eddie Aikau big-wave competition on Oahu’s North Shore. Known as “The Eddie,” the prestigious event is held only when the waves are consistently in the 20- to 25-foot range. In the meantime, Dunfee watches the weather charts, studies the swell forecasts and takes out a Pat Currenshaped big wave board for some rides at the local La Jolla reefs when the surf gets big enough. Curren — father of surfing icon Tom Curren and a big wave-riding pioneer in the 1950s — cut his teeth on the punchy waves off La Jolla, much like Dunfee, who is proud to be part of the new generation of committed big wave surfers, pushing the edge of skill to new limits and loving every minute of it.

from the sea to desert, to mountains to bays, islands and rivers. Visitors are impressed with the sheer number of bird species that live in San Diego or pass through during migration, more than 500 species and counting.” Since the San Diego Audubon Society took the reins on the festival in 2005, the event has more than doubled in number of participants because of its popularity. “Our Family Free Day will be in its second year, and we are expecting upward of 200 additional visitors on Sunday, March 3,” he said. “We sold out nearly every birding trip in January, so there is clearly room for the San Diego Bird Festival to expand.” A number of day trips, including ones to the Anza-Borrego Desert, the Tijuana River Valley, Lake Hodges and the South San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge will take place throughout the four-day festival to inform participants about the diverse species and ecologies native to the areas. “We have a unique habitat, coastal chaparral, that is home to much sought-after endemic birds such as the California gnatcatcher, the California thrasher and the California towhee,” said Kimball. “Birders are thrilled to be able to spot these endemic birds during festival field trips.” Workshops will also take place throughout the weekend, providing information about how to identify raptors, how to capture perfectly shot nature photos and how to “garden for the birds,” among others.

New Pointer students to get crash course in PLHS offerings BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON
Students from any background who are considering entrance to Point Loma High School have a chance to experience much of what it means to be a Pointer at a special event March 5. The community’s only public high school is staging its second annual “Picture Yourself a Pointer” day for all incoming students, regardless of their current educational situation. Students currently in any public, private or charter schools and homeschooled youth considering attending the school (2335 Chatsworth Blvd.) are encouraged to attend. The school, through its Pointer Association, stresses “The 3 A’s: Academics, Arts and Athletics.” The PLHS website is www.pointlomahigh.com. The event is more than just an open house, with appearances by athletes in uniform, cheerleaders, theater and dance students, and will conclude with campus tours. The program begins at 9:45 a.m. with visiting students being ushered into the school’s Trepanier Gym as the Pointers’ award-winning band performs. For the next 45 minutes, a carefully orchestrated but constant blitz of information and activities designed to captivate candidates will showcase the numerous possibilities available to PLHS students. This year’s event will be preceded and followed by a contingent of eighth graders, making the pilgrimage from Correia Middle School to the Pointer
campus on foot due to district funding cuts. A cluster of hundreds of students and staff will possibly tie up vehicle traffic along Voltaire Street and Chatsworth Boulevard as the group makes it way along the one-mile route. Following the event’s 11 a.m. conclusion, Correia students will return to their Valeta Street campus. The “Picture Yourself a Pointer” schedule: • 9:45 a.m.: Students enter Trepan-ier Gym greeted by PLHS band. • 10 a.m.: Welcome from principal Bobbie Samilson. • 10:04 a.m.: Video introduction to PLHS. • 10:12 a.m.: Theater program performance. • 10:14 a.m.: Dance team performance. • 10:16 a.m.: Athletics presentation. • 10:18 a.m.: Powerpoint show describing freshman year by Counseling Department • 10:22 a.m.: Cheerleaders’ routines. • 10:30 a.m.: Tours provided by “Link Crew,” a campus club assisting newcomers to PLHS, will include the school’s new music-production facility, weight room and sports medicine classroom/treatment area and football field, as well as classrooms in various subject areas. • 11 a.m.: Students and visitors leave PLHS campus. Note: The PLHS Voltaire Street entrance remains closed due to construction.
Pony League, Point Loma High School (PLHS) booster and sports clubs, muchneeded equipment for local classrooms and the YMCA’s Capital Campaign fund have all received contributions from the Point Loma Optimists to keep youth programs alive in the Peninsula. As part of its effort to engage local youth, while also carrying on a longstanding tradition, a fun-loving group of Point Loma Optimists with patriotism in their blood and a soft spot for youth advocacy in their hearts recently formed Friends of the Flag, the fundraising arm for the nonprofit’s weekly flag program. With assistance from Boy Scout Troop 500, the Optimists install 168 American flags along the sidewalk every Sunday and national holiday — just as they have done for nearly half a century. “A man named Bill Rippee, along with Paul Markel, Gene DeFalco and Leonard Bonham, wanted to do this as a patriotic gesture,” said Friends of the Flag member Ron Lauderbach. “It started in somebody’s Ford station wagon, and they were just grabbing these flags from the back of a truck.” Now, a duo of able-bodied Optimist members rotates flag duties each week. One drives, while the other sits in the custom-made truck bed amid the shine of flashing safety lights, carefully inserting each flagpole into a pre-drilled, steel-lined hole on the sidewalk. “It takes two guys. They go and meet at the flag truck just off Harbor Drive at Wally parking lot, then they basically take the tarp off, grab the truck and go out to put the flags in at seven in the morning,” said fellow Friends of the Flag member Tom Lewis. “We’ve also put up the flags when they’ve had funerals at the Rock Church for military and fallen police officers when they go down Rosecrans.” Despite the simplicity of the well-worn

“The prosecution is frozen, stayed, in limbo for two years,” said Iredale. “At the end of the two years, that case is dismissed … without any finding of guilt.” O’Connor gambled more than $1 billion of her assets at various casinos between 2000 and 2009, but the federal violation came when she used funds from the R. P. Foundation that her late husband, Robert Peterson, set up for charities before his death in 1994. Peterson was the founder of the Jack in the Box restaurant chain. O’Connor now lives with her twin sister in La Jolla and only has her mayoral pension for support. At the press con-

SHOWING RESPECT FOR THE FLAG To keep our nation’s emblem from being displayed when tattered, torn or weathered, the Friends of the Flag often replace old flags for new ones — up to two or three per month. In keeping with the standards of respect for the American flag, the group — along with the help of the Boy Scout Troop 500, which conducts a formal retirement ceremony for tattered flags — adhere to specific guidelines each time the flag is raised, lowered or in need of replacement. Here are a few of the rules of flag etiquette: • When a flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object. • To store the flag, it would be folded neatly and ceremoniously. • When a flag is worn, it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country. It should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner. • Ordinarily, it should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset. It should be illuminated if displayed at night. – Flag etiquette sourced from usflag.org.
ritual, funding for the program is a bit more complex with expenses amounting to upwards of $5,000 each year for insurance, maintenance of suitable flags and poles, and upkeep of the vehicle and predrilled holes. “The program costs money to operate. We’ve funded it ourselves for the last 50 years, but now we need the community to help,” said Lauderbach. “Our group is smaller, and we don’t want to invade into the youth budget to do this.” For the past three months or so, Lauderbach and fellow board member Alan Holmes have hit the streets to seek out business and family sponsors for the program. “We’re walking up and down Rosecrans Street talking to all the merchants and inviting them to be financial sponsors with us in the program,” said Holmes. One of the program’s main sponsors, Point Loma Nazarene University, contributed a generous amount for the program to continue without the need for the Optimists to divert funds from its youth programs. “They were really the ones that kicked this thing off and got everybody excited about the fact that we’re doing this,” said Rogers. “We’ve got a real good thing here, and we’re just trying to get everyone more involved. People have enjoyed those flags for many years and still do, but there
is a good deal of people out there who have no idea who puts them out there.” A few local merchant donors who appreciate the group’s efforts have contributed to the cause, earning a large Friends of the Flag decal for donations of $100 or more or a smaller decal for donations of $50 or more to display at their businesses. “If they like what we’re doing — and virtually everyone does — we’d like their support,” said Rogers. “And if you see a decal on a business, know they donated and patronize their business to say ‘Thank you.’” He said supporting youth programs like the Boy Scouts is the essence of what the organization is about, and it hopes to continue bolstering local youth through its many charitable programs, such as its annual scholarship program for graduating PLHS seniors, oratorical and essay contests, summer youth sailing programs and student recognition services. “And if you want to get a little wind in your hair on a Sunday morning, come on out and ride along with us,” said Holmes. Anyone interested in membership to The Optimist Club of Point Loma or supporting Friends of the Flag can visit www.pointlomaoptimist.org or call Ron Lauderbach at (619) 846-0095.

ference, she spoke about her depression following the deaths of her husband, three siblings and some close friends. “I still intend to pay it back. I never meant to hurt the city,” said O’Connor, who started to cry, and then stood up and left the room with assistance. O’Connor and her sister have sued three investors who they say defaulted on more than $7 million when the investors took over a Mendocino County hotel the sisters owned. Iredale said O’Connor has signed an agreement that if she recovers $2 million in the lawsuit, it will all be turned over to her late husband’s trust. Iredale said the gambling stopped after the removal of her brain tumor. He released letters from physicians who described her memory loss and cogni-
tive deficits. O’Connor went to a hospital emergency room in January 2011 after she saw flashing lights and could not speak. When she underwent brain-imaging studies, doctors found a large mass — a benign tumor — in the center of her brain. Iredale said the tumor affected her judgment and reasoning and she experienced hallucinations. O’Connor was elected mayor in 1985 after Roger Hedgecock resigned when he was convicted of perjury and conspiracy to violate campaign laws. “Today is a sad day for the city of San Diego,” Halpern said following O’Connor’s court appearance. Federal prosecutors, he said, “take no pleasure” in filing the case against O’Connor, but, he added, “No one is above the law.”
how they can participate and bridge their organization to one of the largest public school districts in the nation,” said Park. “It’s a win-win for many groups, including our school.” Barnard’s unique and cutting edge education model, which includes immersion in the Chinese language and culture, was recently honored at the Confucius Institute Conference in Beijing as the International Confucius Classroom of the Year. “It’s a gigantic recognition internationally where many presidents of universities around the world have gathered to look on our district as having the best,” said Park. “Barnard just happens to be leading the charge, and we hope to create more schools like it.” Park said the celebrated school programs are often unnoticed by the immediate com-
munity. “The second largest minority group in San Diego is Asian and Pacific Islanders. There wasn’t a cultural bridging component before, and now there’s a strong one. And we’re just beginning,” said Park. “We’ve got a gem in the Peninsula area, but the folks that are participating and coming to see our amazing program are people outside of the area, so we want to see more of the Peninsula realize and embrace and foster this event by attending and checking it out.” Barnard’s Chinese New Year celebration will take place at the school, located at 2930 Barnard Street in Point Loma, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 23.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Henkel continues to crank out his tasty blues offerings HEALTH & BEAUTY 8
THURSDAY · FEBRUARY 21, 2013
THE PENINSULA BEACON
BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON
One of San Diego’s most gifted performers, Robin Henkel is best known as a blues man, specializing in deltastyle acoustic sounds. Appearing at Humphreys Backstage Lounge on Feb. 26, Henkel has become a lynchpin of the San Diego acoustic music scene. A virtuoso guitarist, he has introduced generations to the blues, mentored dozens of musicians and actively helped nurture the local music community. While Henkel has been a local mainstay since the release of his album “Let’s Get Squished” in 1979, the past decade has seen his music take off on both a local and national level, with Henkel now firmly in the role of elder statesman. He acknowledges a major shift in attitude over the past decade or so. “It comes from watching Billy Watson play and entertain back in the late 1990s,” Henkel recalled. “I got it through my head to start having fun playing music. Playing music became less about showing off to overcome my insecurities. It became more about just having fun with it. Mix that in with the hard-headedness of doing it relentlessly over the years, and now things are going pretty good. Now I’m 61 and I enjoy and look forward to practicing more than I ever did when I was young.” While Henkel certainly has plenty of blues gigs on his schedule and has won two “Best Blues Album” trophies at the San Diego Music Awards in 2000 and 2004, his sound is actually much more varied. “I don’t really stick strictly to blues,” he said. “Many of the tunes I play on gigs have a folksy finger-picking vibe.
I also compose jazz and funk for my horn band.” Though he can often be found in solo, duo or trio format, for this gig he’ll be performing with his horn band. ROBIN HENKEL “For me, it’s the coolest thing I do, but I don’t feel that the band and repertoire have ever broken through in a popular way. I have to stay true to my art but I also have to make a living. Plenty of restaurants and wine bars hire me on an ongoing basis as a blues soloist. Gigs for a five- or six-piece band playing jazz are less abundant.” Known as a serial collaborator, it’s a rare gig from Henkel that doesn’t have a musical friend or two sitting in. “Collaborating? It brings in the fresh, new energy and talents of the other person,” he said. “As long as I dig what the other person is doing, I enjoy applying my skill-set to their style and work. As for live performances, it’s fun to not have to be the focal point of the entire show. When someone else is singing or soloing I can engage and get deep into the rhythm section — that’s fun.” Though he has released nine successful albums to date, and several projects are in progress, no new music has been released since 2009’s “Steel Guitar Lounge.” It’s unclear when a new album might emerge. “I’ve done at least three recording sessions since 2010 and haven’t released any of it,” Henkel said. “Halfway through the project, I get distracted by gigs and other projects.

months later, I forget what I was working on.” With nearly five decades of stage time behind him, Henkel has a huge list of tunes to choose from, though he couldn’t pin the exact number down. “Even with a large repertoire, certain songs that people love get played and overplayed,” he said. “Around 2010, I used to play the ‘Egg’ song a lot, burned out on it, didn’t do it for a while. Now when I do it, it feels fresh again.” Though Henkel could play anything with six strings, and has a vast collection of guitars to choose from, he has narrowed his stage gear to three particular models: a 1930s wood Dobro in G tuning, a 1937 National for standard guitar tuning and a Dan Electro reissue in D tuning. “The biggest reason for using three is so I don’t have to re-tune the same guitar to play in the various tunings,” he said. “But over the years I have realized the different sound of each instrument lends a cool variety to my performances.” From his vantage point, Henkel considers the blues to be more popular than ever. “I don’t know if there is a crop of young people working to keep the blues alive, but there are a few,” he said. “And I will point out, it seems young people are hipper than they were 15 to 20 years ago. It seems more people know what blues is and that it’s in the musical lineage of the music they hear today.” • Robin Henkel performs at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at Humphreys Backstage Live, 2241 Shelter Island Drive. www.humphreysbackstagelive.com
Are Your Elderly Parents Resistant To What You Suggest? Has this happened to you before? You are pretty sure that your Mom and Dad aren’t eating right, aren’t getting out for shopping or doctor’s appointments and just seem to be having more problems than usual. You want to help but they always say, “I’ll think about it” or “maybe later.” Sometimes approaching them in a different manner makes all the difference. Success may happen when you suggest change by taking into account their value system or needs. 1) They worry about the cost. Pay for the caregiver as a gift to them. Ask all the siblings to chip in a little each month. 2) Negotiate with them and avoid putting them down or being sarcastic. 3) Ask them why they don’t want help and answer their fears with factual answers. 4) Tell them how worried you are. Say you’ll be helping my peace of mind not “You should.” 5) If they need a caregiver in the home, start small, address their concerns about losing control and let them choose the days and hours to come. Hiring a geriatric care manager to assess your parent’s will help recognize whether their resistance is coming from a cognitive deficit, she can talk things over with their doctor. You love and respect your parents and trying to help them keep a good quality of life can be frustrating with guidance and support.

Studio E — My paintings are comprised of dreamlike compositions which map my inner world. They are a diary of fragments from dreams, incidents from daily life, and internal monologues that ground the work in a personal mythology.

My intent is to create work which acts as a springboard for the viewer's own imagination — Emily Halpern

Malashock Dance celebrates 25 years of breaking the mold BY KENDRA HARTMANN | THE BEACON In terms of arts, culture and music, San Diego often gets lost in the shadow of Los Angeles, San Francisco and sometimes even other major cities across the country. But for at least the last 25 years, San Diego has been nurturing and cultivating a thriving dance scene — regardless of whether the news has reached any other major metropolis. Though the secret may still be contained within its borders, this city has been able to tout itself as the birthplace of one of the most innovative contemporary dance companies to come about in recent years. And on March 8 and 9, John Malashock, the creative mind behind Point Loma-based Malashock Dance, will kick off the company’s 25th anniversary season with a celebration showing just how far the company has come over the last two and a half decades. “There have been some great things about developing in San Diego,” Malashock said. “We were starting at a point when there was a limited number of people working here. It really allowed me to find my own style, my own voice, without feeling like I was in one of those places like New York or San Francisco, where there’s so much crossinfluence that it almost tends to become a little homogeneous in terms of trends.” Malashock — who grew up in La Jolla and attended La Jolla High School before moving to New York and cultivating an enviable career with the acclaimed Twyla Tharp Dance company — said he has always relied on his own “inner vision,” as opposed to the influences of popular choreographers or companies. “And to be honest,” he said, “it has worked for me and in some ways, it has worked against me. People tend to go for the very recognizable.” At next month’s 25th anniversary celebration, audience members will get a taste of what Malashock has developed since he came back to his home town in 1988. The performance won’t necessarily reflect on the company’s past — though half of the show will revisit an earlier work — but it will show the innovation Malashock brings to the stage. Showing his penchant for blending different art forms, Malashock will collaborate with a locally grown musician, internationally acclaimed
pianist Gustavo Romero. Titled “A Man Found Wanting,” the work will blend Romero’s live interpretation of Leos Janacek’s piano suites with a series of solos, duets, trios and quartets danced by his company members. Malashock calls the work “intimate and emotional,” in line with Janacek’s haunting musical score. The other half of the show will see a resurrection of “Fathom: The Body as Universe,” originally staged in 2006 in collaboration with Japanese artist Junko Chodos. Though he didn’t want to parade only works that he had created in the past for the anniversary show, Malashock said he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to revive “Fathom.” “[‘Fathom’] was one of the most memorable works we’ve done,” he said. “I wasn’t interested in a retrospective. I tend to be more forward looking, always looking at the next project rather than looking back, and I was certainly not going to pull out something I had done 15 or 25 years ago. But ‘Fathom’ was really a thrilling production, and I felt like people would appreciate seeing that again.” As for his tendency to blur the lines between music, dance and visual art (he has collaborated with the Old Globe Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, San Diego Opera and the San Diego Museum of Art, to name a few), Malashock said that, apart from creating an experience unique to anything else, it also pulls together audiences who may appreciate only one of the different forms in one universal event. “Part of it is that I like mixing my style of work with something else’s. It
makes for a different animal entirely,” he said. “I love making my own productions as well, but I like the expanded vision sometimes, where it’s more than just me and my choreography. I also like drawing on the energy of other artists, brainstorming and inspiring each other. And on a more practical level, I like reaching audiences other than our regular dance audience.” So how has a quarter-century of developing his vision in San Diego shaped him, especially considering the tendency of the art and dance world to overlook anything south of LA? “I’ll admit it places some limitations,” he said. “I’m aware of not having the caché of being a New York-based dance company, especially since most of my career was in New York. But like anything, there are pluses and minuses. [Being located in San Diego] also creates an element of surprise. When work comes out of here that’s of a certain caliber, it gets noticed.” Malashock Dance will present the first performances of its 25th anniversary year on March 8 and 9 at the Birch North Park Theatre, 2891 University Ave. Proceeds from the show will benefit the organization as a whole, including its educational programs like Academics in Motion, Math in Motion and Dance with thisABILITY!, which partners with St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center to introduce people with disabilities to dance. For tickets or more information, visit www.malashockdance.org.
Malashock Dance, led by La Jolla-native John Malashock, will celebrate its 25th year in San Diego with several performances in 2013. The first performance will take place March 8 and 9 at Birch North Park Theatre. Photo courtesy of Malashock Dance

Point Loma High winter teams poised for run in CIF BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Two teams recorded undefeated records in league play, leading a cluster of Point Loma High winter sports teams into post-season CIF playoffs. The boys’ basketball team blasted Kearny 53-40 last week in its regular season finale, posting a perfect 12-0 mark in Central League play to earn the first PLHS league title since 1997. Both Dillon Fitzmorris (17.8 points per game) and Jamal Agnew (16.6) led the team offensively, with each connecting on 55 three-point shots. Defensively, Fitzmorris (63 steals), Agnew (58) and Grant Wilburn (61) created havoc with their hustle, disrupting opponents’ offenses. The Pointers and head coach Chris Brisco were guaranteed a home game (played Feb. 20) when playoff pairings were announced last weekend. The Pointer girls’ soccer team also landed atop the City League standings for the second time in the last three years. Last week, the Pointer pitch was the place as the Pointers put a big exclamation mark on their season with an 8-0 whipping of City League foe Madison to finish conference play with a 6-0-2 record. On the season, sophomore Taylor Hopkins netted five goals for the team lead, with seniors Jewell Roth, Caelle McKaveney and freshman Jordan Patane all recording four. In goal, junior Jordan Green (12 games, four shutouts) and senior Mia Sakasegawa (eight games, two shutouts) shared honors. Head coach John Murphy and his team were guaranteed a home game (played Feb. 19) in CIF playoff pairings. Elsewhere, girls’ basketball (Dave Aros, head coach) finished its regular season 7-5 in league play with a close (43-39) loss to Central League champion Kearny. The 12-7 overall record should earn the team a CIF playoff spot. Boys’ soccer (Elliott Savitz, head coach) was 12-3-7 overall, but fell to 22-4 in Western League play against the likes of powerful University City and St. Augustine. Seeding meetings will determine the Pointers’ fate. In wrestling, the City Conference Championship meet was held recently. Head coach Phil Moore’s Pointers finishing fourth of 19 schools. Top Pointers were: • Keegan Bell: second place, 154 pounds; • Bailey Dugdale, second place, 172 pounds; • Chase Scillato, third place, 128 pounds; • Jovanny Sanchez, third place, 222 pounds; • Michael Harris, fourth place, 122 pounds and • Michael Serrano, fourth place, 287 pounds. These Pointer wrestlers competed last weekend at the CIF finals, hosted by Cathedral Catholic. EXTRA POINTS • Both Pointer boys’ and girls’ basketball teams held “Senior Night” Feb. 8 to honor departing players. The girls defeated Clairemont 54-15 and the boys dispatched the Chieftains 6340 to make for a big night. • The girls’ soccer team’s “Senior Day” included the parents speaking to the crowd about their daughters prior to the game. It must have worked. The girls went out and destroyed Madison
in an 8-0 blitz. • Girls’ water polo had a rough year in the pool, swimming to a 6-22 record overall. The team, with three freshmen and six sophomores on a 14-girl roster, is already looking forward to the 201314 season.
• Spring is the busiest season for prep athletes. No less than 13 teams are currently finalizing rosters for play through Memorial Day. Starting play soon are boys’ baseball, golf, tennis and volleyball. Girls’ softball is under way, while co-ed teams include badminton,
swimming, track and field, and Loma at No. 1 Serra, Feb. 19 lacrosse. • Boys’ soccer: No. 10 Steele Canyon at No. 7 Point Loma, Feb. 20 CIF Playoffs, Division II, first round: • Girls’ soccer: No. 6 Rancho Bernar• Boys’ basketball: No. 8-seeded do at No. 11 Point Loma, Feb. 19 Westview at No. 9 Point Loma, Feb. 20 (16 seeded teams in each sport) • Girls’ basketball: No. 16 Point

Grapplers claim CIF championship BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Point Loma High School wrestlers are celebrating a CIF San Diego Section championship won last weekend by teammate Keegan Bell. Wrestling at 154 pounds, Bell emerged as the top wrestler in the 21-school CIF Division III finals. He triumphed over the top 24 wrestlers in the division at his weight, all of whom had earned their spot in the tournament at league championships held previously. Bell and the top six finishers at each weight now move on to the upcoming CIF San Diego Section Masters meet, where the top 24 finishers in each of five divisions will square off. From there, only the top three at each weight advance to the state tournament. Masters qualifiers from Point Loma
include Chase Harris (fourth place, 115 pounds), Timathy Mansker (fifth, 134 pounds) and Mike Serrano (sixth, 287 pounds), joining the best of five CIF divisions. Jovanny Sanchez (seventh, 222 pounds) fell just short. As a team, the Pointers totaled 22 points to finish sixth in the 21-school division. Earlier in the week, in the City Conference finals, Pointer grapplers made an equally strong showing, qualifying six for the CIF championship meet. Bailey Dugdale (second, 172 pounds), Bell (second, 154 pounds), Chase Scillato (third, 128 pounds), Sanchez (third, 222 pounds), Michael Harris (fourth, 122 pounds) and Serrano (fourth, 287 pounds) earned spots, with the Pointer team finishing fourth among 19 schools.

Alyssa Orito and Macy Douglas came through for PLNU with qualifying scores of 81 and 84, respectively. Orito finished the tournament with a 167 (+23) and Douglas with a 169 (+25). Samantha Stockton had the third-lowest score for Point Loma in the tournament with a 166 (+22). Cal State San Marcos won the team competition. It shaved six strokes from its first-round score to leapfrog Grand Canyon and Sonoma State, and go from third to first. Megan Woodland of the University of Victoria won the individual competition with a 5-over 149. She shot a 70 (-2) in the opening round and a 79 (+7). Donnelly to leave PLNU to pursue master’s Lindsy Donnelly has resigned her position as the head athletic trainer in the Point Loma Nazarene University Athletic Department to pursue her master’s degree of kinesiology-athletic training at the University of Virginia. Donnelly has been at Point Loma since 2002, first as a student, then part-time staff, before taking on her role as head athletic trainer. Donnelly graduated from PLNU in 2006, and after working in the fall for Point Loma High School returned to PLNU in the spring of 2007 to join the athletic training staff as a part-time assistant. She was named
head athletic trainer in 2010. She also works as adjunct faculty with the kinesiology department. “Point Loma has become like a second family,” said Donnelly. “It has always been a very welcoming place for me.” Donnelly will remain at PLNU until May 24, and begin her time in Virginia in June. “We are deeply appreciative to Lindsy for her service to all those within the campus community and athletic department,” said PLNU athletic director Ethan Hamilton. “She has done an amazing job, and we are very thankful for the foundation she has helped build.” While Donnelly will leave a place she has been for over 10 years, she knows there is an excellent opportunity awaiting her in Virginia. The master’s program at UVA focuses on research, which attracted Donnelly to the program. It is also an accelerated program, which will allow Donnelly to earn her degree in just 13 months. “I want to go to continue to expand my knowledge and become a more dynamic professional,” said Donnelly. “This program gives me the opportunity to learn from different individuals outside of PLNU. In order to improve I need to go beyond my comfort zone. Right now, I just want to see where life and God take me.”

With childhood obesity on the rise, residual cuts to grade-school physical education and health programs, and the advent of addicting entertainment technology, some children are straying away from physical exercise and relying more on video games or television to occupy their time. Sports-based youth fitness provider Amazing Athletes hopes to counter that trend by getting kids off the couch and into an active classroom with yearround programs designed to get children moving through instructional sports activities. The program focuses on preschool-age students as young as 2 years old to help lay a strong foundation of healthy habits from an early age. “A lot of other programs don’t focus on kids this young, and we’re really starting to get a high obesity rate in kids [aged] two to four,” said Sonja Brummer, owner of four Amazing Athletes franchises in San Diego. “We really want to focus on getting them active and show them that it can be fun to be active.”
ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN GOLF TOURNAMENT TO BRING BACK FOURTH GRADE PROGRAM IN OLD TOWN The Old Town Chamber of Commerce is teaming up with PGA Hall of Famer Billy Casper to produce the Café Coyote Historic Old Town Golf Classic at the Salt Creek Golf Club on March 18, with all proceeds going toward restoring the fourth grade history program in Old Town San Diego. For more than 20 years, PGA professional golfer Billy Casper has raised funds for kids in San Diego. Casper is a World Golf Hall of Fame member, winner of two U.S. Open Tournaments, winner of the 1970 Master’s Tournament and holds the record for the most points scored for the USA Ryder Cup team. Through his organization, Billy's Kids, he has raised more than 20 million dollars. Sponsored by Café Coyote, the goal of the tournament is to raise $40,000 to bring back the thousands of San Diego County students that would
typically come to Old Town each year. The history program for fourth graders was part of the elementary school Off-Campus Integrated Learning Experiences, which was cut by the San Diego Unified School District in 2010 because of budget constraints. “Bringing fourth graders back to Old Town is a high priority for the chamber and we are thrilled that Billy Casper is able to help us with this goal,” stated Chamber President Fred Grand. “We want the students to have the opportunity to visit Old Town and learn about the rich history of our state.” The fourth grade program could be restored for as little as $3 per student -- the cost to transport the student to Old Town. All educational components of the program would be executed by volunteers and various organizations in Old Town
including Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. Other sponsors of the tournament include Bazaar Del Mundo, the Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town, Fiesta de Reyes, the Mormon Battalion Historic Site, Old Town San Diego Guide, Old Town Trolley and Seal Tours, the San Diego Chargers, San Diego PR, the Steve Affleck Family, and Sysco, to name a few. Sponsorships for the tournament are still available. For inquiries about sponsorship, contact Old Town Chamber Executive Director Richard Stegner at OTSD@aol.com. The golf tournament will also include a silent auction and raffle to raise additional funds and dinner will be provided by Old Town’s Fiesta de Reyes. For more information about Old Town and its Chamber of Commerce visit oldtownsandiego.org or call 619-291-4903.
Through what she calls “positive play,” Brummer explained the program is neither a classroom environment nor free-play recess. It utilizes the best of both — combining a fun outlet for energy release with educational development and discipline. “We talk about eating healthy, getting your sleep and eating your fruits and vegetables,” she said. “We incorporate a lot of things from the classroom, too — letters, numbers, colors, animals, some math, sometimes Spanish — so it’s more than just a sports program.” At Little Steps Christian Preschool on Mt. Soledead, preschoolers take weekly Amazing Athletes classes to develop mental, physical and cognitive skills like hand-eye coordination, following directions, and speed and agility. Throughout the curriculum, students learn the basics of nine sports, which are rotated each week throughout the year. “At this age, we’re not so much teaching them the rules of the game. We’re teaching them how to kick, how to throw,” said Brummer. “Especially for the 2-year-olds, it’s more of an exploratory class.” As kids get older, the classes become more structured, she said. “We’ll have some of these kids from 2 to 6 or 7 years old, so we don’t want them to get bored,” she said. “As they go up in age, we also progress their skill level.” And thanks to small class sizes, the program’s coaches are able to work with each child according to his or her abili-
ty. “Any kid can do this. We’ve had kids with disabilities, like cerebral palsy, and the doctors recommend it,” she said. “We had one girl in particular who, when she first started, couldn’t even hold up the baseball bat. Within a year or two, she was swinging the bat like it was nothing.” In addition to brain and motor-skill development, the program helps children build self-confidence when it comes to social and physical activity in grade school. “By the time they get to elementary school, they probably have a wider knowledge of sports than other kids. We try to get them ahead of the game,” she said. The wide range of sports the students are exposed to helps to keep them from getting “frustrated when they’re in elementary school in PE or in team sports,” Brummer said. “I always get extra sad when it comes time for them to leave the schools, especially when we’ve had them for so many years,” she said. “At the same time, it’s so great to see them develop a love for sports and activities and to see them progress from when they could barely walk to running, jumping and kicking.” Amazing Athletes offers year-round program registration, birthday parties and camps for children of all ages. Franchise opportunities are also available. Visit www.amazingathletes.com or call (888) 228-3942 for more information.

THURSDAY · FEBRUARY 21, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON
Bud Black looks for cohesion, fewer injuries in 2013 for Padres BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | THE BEACON The San Diego Padres were the surprise of the National League in the second half of last season with a 48-36 record over their last 84 games. That performance by his position players gives manager Bud Black hope the team will pick up where it left off. With Chase Headley on a home-run tear and Evereth Cabrera and Cameron Maybin boosting batting averages by 100 points, a patched-up mound corps managed to do the rest. Pitcher injuries, slumps and lack of clutch hitting plagued the club in the first half of 2012, dooming it to a fourth-place finish in the end. “We’ve got to pitch better,” Black cautioned. “Teams that are successful and have good seasons pitch well. Last year, we saw what can happen when you’re not healthy.” The chief chore will be to select his pitching rotation until solid hurlers Cory Luebke and Joe Wieland rehab from Tommy John shoulder surgery. They won’t be available until summer. There are 30 hurlers in camp who’ll be tested in exhibition games. Mainstays
Clayton Richard (14-14) Edison Volguez (10-10) are assured two of the five starter jobs. The hang-up might be Petco Park’s shortened fences, where lazy flies will reach home-run territory. It’s no longer a hurler’s haven. Richard last year served up 31 homers in 281 innings. General manager Josh Byrnes addressed it this way: “There’s no shortage in pitching candidates in leading to a worthy five-man rotation. There’s a chance we can solve the rotation with our own guys. The thing about the offseason is we haven’t pursued guys just to add bodies. But if we feel there’s an upgrade, someone with an upside, or a long-term guy, then OK.” He believes the Padres have 10 strong bidders for the spots by the time the opening bell rings April 1 in New York. It’s a young team. Twenty-six players on the 40-man squad are in their 20s. Except for catcher Yasmani Grandal, everyone should be in place as spring training moves ahead in Peoria. Grandal, a power-hitting catcher, is serving a 50-game suspension imposed by the league for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. “There’s something to continuity if
the right people are in place,” said Black. “My approach through all this, more than anything, has been to be a consistent, steadying force as much as possible.” In other words, Black said he will work with what has been provided. And in his six years as Padres manager, he’s served under three general managers. The O’Malley family — the new club owners — opened their purse strings a lot for Headley and reliever Luke Gregerson this winter, boosting the team salary closer to $50 million. Headly will get a single-season contract for $8.3 million and Gregerson $3.2 million. Headley led the club in home runs and RBIs and was fifth in the balloting for Most Valuable Player in the National League. Gregerson, who worked as a setup reliever and as a closer, was the only Padre selected on the All-Star team. Black said he hopes outfielder Carlos Quentin, slowed by injuries last season, can perform in at least 130 games. This power hitter belted 16 homers in 284 at-bats. With a consistently changing cast
of players in his tenure, the Padres are 464-509 under Black and have finished better than .500 only twice. “It’s a continued effort to understand that component in the relationship between player and manager,” Black said. “To get the best out of the
player, you have to let him know the expectation level.” Every team opens spring camp with high hopes of reaching the playoffs — even those lovable losers known as the Chicago Cubs.
