Frankie Laine’s friends, fans to celebrate crooner’s birth, illustrious career Gala set to honor the ‘Prince of Point Loma’ BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON If legendary American entertainer Frankie Laine — known by some locals as the “Prince of Point Loma” — was alive today, the multiple award-winning singer/songwriter would be 100 years old on March 30. In celebration of the longtime Point Loma resident’s impending birthday, Laine’s fan club, Team Frankie Laine, will host a centennial birthday bash for their beloved hometown superstar on March 24 at the Kona Kai Resort on Shelter Island.

The doors to the main ballroom will open at noon, and a celebratory luncheon will kick off the event at 1 p.m. amid a milieu of hit songs from Laine’s 75-year entertainment career, with hits like “Jezebel,” “Rawhide” and “That’s My Desire” showcased on large video screens flanking the main stage. The event for the clarionvoiced singer and actor would not be a proper tribute without live music. And who better to SEE LAINE, Page 8

Ocean Beach resident Adrianne Petrilla and her boyfriend, Wesley Dewitt, take their Beacon on vacation to Mexico. “We are lounging in some natural hot pools at Guadalupe Canyon Hot Springs, a small family-owned camping resort,” said Adrianne. “These naturally occurring hot springs are literally an oasis in the Baja California desert. We drove for miles through a dried-up, barren lake bed splayed out between mountain peaks until we saw a patch of palm trees tucked into the granite boulders — the oasis! We camped for 2 nights, enjoyed hiking up side canyons, heard coyotes howling at night, spotted hundreds of lizards and birds, and soaked our tired muscles in the hot pools. It was a wonderful vacation.”

The Word Man Jim Crakes demonstrates the unique sounds of the didgeridoo, a wind instrument developed by indigenous Australians, Photo by Mariko Lamb I The Beacon during his word lesson on Feb. 19 for students at Ocean Beach Elementary School.

BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON Each month, Ocean Beach Elementary School students in Cyndie Volpone’s combined third- and fourth-grade class look forward to a visit by the “The Word Man,” Jim Crakes, who livens up the classroom with his fun word games and puzzles, enlightening youngsters with educational tidbits about cultures around the globe and tales about his own fascinating personal history as an avid traveler, Olympic athlete and lifelong educator. “They love when ‘Mr. Jim’ comes,” said Volpone. “All the concepts he introduces to them all year long are reinforced during the school year within the curriculum, so he’ll come in and just put a twist on it for me, which is such an advantage for me, as a teacher, because they’re with me all day long. They love when he comes.” As part of the word lesson — which includes everything from a warm-up “word of the day” exercise to a 16-letter matrix game dubbed “little boggles” — Crakes incorporates enlightened criticalthinking skills through stories touching on subjects like history, culture and geography. “He always brings in part of his culture, his background, his experiences,” said Volpone. “He tells them about going to the Olympics or his grandchildren or he’ll bring in writing that somebody did in his family. The students not only see him as an educator, but as a real person.” Although Crakes’ visits to the classroom have become less frequent over recent years, shifting from twice-weekly lessons when he first started to monthly guest lessons now, it is a job he has undertaken with enthusiasm for the past two decades. “I’d been teaching and coaching up at Point Loma Nazarene University since 1967 back when it was Cal Western University,” he said. “I was a track coach and also taught kinesiology and exercise physiology.” Although he always liked to read, write poetry and had a history of designing curricula for other coaches, Crakes’ fascination with words and word games began after his official retirement in 1994. “I started soon after that time. First, I came just to help, then she would kind of give the class to me,” he said. “I wrote

“He always brings in part of his culture, his background, his experiences. He tells [students] about going to the Olympics or his grandchildren, or he’ll bring in writing that somebody did in his family. The students not only see him as an educator, but as a real person.”

Crakes’ big-hearted generosity and proactive ideas tend keep him busy one way or another.

Ex-SD Sockers standout among those honored at Hall of Fame

TOTHEPOINT

Pair held on robbery charges

BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | THE BEACON Two members of the San Diego Sockers — past and present — were honored Feb. 25 during the 67th annual “Salute to the Champions” event at the Town and Country Convention Center. Brian Quinn, a Sockers standout of the past, was inducted into the Breitbard Hall of Fame. He was joined by Padres pitcher Trevor Hoffman, three-time Super Bowl winner and former world wrestler of the year Stephen Neal and former Charger Junior Seau (posthumously). Sockers MVP Kraig Chiles, who is setting all kinds of scoring records this year, was selected as one of the stars of the year. Included in that category also were Padres third baseman Chase Headley; Rachel Buehler, a member of the U.S. gold medal women’s Olympic soccer team; Chargers defensive back Eric Weddle; Olympic gold medalist and 400meter hurdler Felix Sanchez; and NASCAR’s Jimmie Johnson — all selected by the San

Diego Hall of Champions. Quinn was one of the most popular members of the highly successful Sockers indoorsoccer team as a player from 1983-1991 and as its coach from 2001-04. He scored 188 goals during his tenure with the Sockers, during which time the team captured six Major Indoor Soccer League titles. A native of Ireland, Quinn became a U.S. citizen and played for the national team from 1991-94, earning 48 caps and scoring his lone international goal in a 3-0 win over Guatemala. He is currently an assistant coach at the University of San Diego and a director of the San Diego Soccer Club. “It’s truly humbling and an honor to be included with these pro and college athletes,” said Chiles upon learning of the award. “I could never have imagined receiving an award like this two years ago. It’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” Chiles has been tearing up the PASL record book since joining the Sockers during their franchise reboot in 2008. The back-to-back MVP set a single-season record with 48 goals in 15 games last season as the Sockers rolled to a 24-0 season and three trophies. His 66

points were just two shy of the PASL singleseason record. ... Seawater-powered jets Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory are developing a process to extract carbon dioxide from seawater and use it to produce hydrogen gas, which can then be catalytically converted into jet fuel. “The potential payoff is the ability to produce JP-5 fuel stock at sea, reducing the logistics tail on fuel delivery with no environmental burden and increasing the Navy’s energy security and independence,” said Dr. Heather Willauer, a research chemist. “With such a process, the Navy could avoid the uncertainties inherent in procuring fuel from foreign sources and/or maintaining long supply lines.” The technique has been tested using seawater from the Gulf of Mexico to simulate conditions that will be encountered in an actual open ocean.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ahhhhhh ... the joy and mystery of the wild parrots in Ocean Beach I thoroughly enjoyed your parrot story and the wonderful photograph atop one of the lovely coral trees planted around the city. Your writer is probably too young to have heard the prevailing story for many years about the original source of the birds. I am in my late seventies and have lived in Ocean Beach, Loma Portal and Point Loma since my family came here in 1947 from the allergy-causing, dusty, dry air of southern Arizona. Our first home was at the end of Narragansett Avenue in Ocean Beach. Two blocks away on Bacon Street was Stella’s Pet Shop, a wonder of a place for children (I was 12, my sister 9) filled with every sort of animal you could keep in a cage or pond or terrarium. and all of their needed food and housing supplies. Each time we walked two blocks over to Newport Avenue, we would stop in or at least

I sang at the Coffeehouse variety shows as well as the Zeiger show in 2001,” she said. “These were my first experiences singing publicly, and I realized then that I had a talent that people enjoyed.” After high school, Antonel’s singing — at least in a public capacity — fell by the wayside for several years until resurfacing again in 2010, when she became

Stella had filled the narrow aisles with so many items at times it was difficult to get around, particularly if there were other customers or lookers. After I finished my education, married and had children, my children were quite as fascinated as I had been. However, Stella was also growing older, and her store was in an old building (the O.B. Historical Society probably has records of this). It was difficult for me to go in, because the aging owner was not keeping the place clean and it smelled of animal excrement. We didn’t get to Ocean Beach frequently while we lived in Loma Portal and Point Loma in the early years of their childhood. Sometime in the 1960s or ’70s, Stella’s shop burned to the ground during the night, with all the ani-

When she returned home, Antonel took the helm as the lead singer of Velvet Café, a multigenre acoustic cover band featuring jazz, country and blues renditions that cross generations — and even languages. “Vocally, I guess I have sort of a bluesy, vintage torch-song flavor, although my style is, above all else, eclectic,” she said. “I sing everything from jazz to blues to pop to country to Latin rock with my band. I’m a classically trained pianist, so that informs my own compositions.” While the talented vocalist enjoys

However, a mated pair of red-headed Mexican Amazon parrots showed up and nested in Ocean Beach shortly after the fire, and continued multiplying, the flock getting larger and larger year after year. Residents in Ocean Beach believed that this pair escaped from the fire that destroyed Stella’s. They were called the OB parrots by most of us, because that is where they first settled. Of course, it can’t be proven, but I like to believe it is true. The flocks, which have spread all over the city, now migrate to Mexico in the winter, and return here in early spring to nest and mate. Parrots have a very long life. I wonder if the original two are still around and how old they might be?

Two men were ordered March 13 to stand trial on charges they robbed three 7-Eleven stores on Midway Drive and in Torrey Pines, along with 12 other stores. More than 25 witnesses testified over three days in the preliminary hearing of Luis Alonso Cruz, 25, and Alex Sanchez, 23, before San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Gill. They pleaded not guilty to the robbery series and a trial date is set for May 14. Gill heard a 1½-hour taped interview of Cruz with a detective and he eventually confessed to committing some holdups.

Police probing sex assault in Point Loma Police investigators are looking into an apparent sexual assault in the Midway District on March 18. According to detectives, a 21-year-old man met a woman around Pacific Highway shortly before 9 p.m. and tried to convince the woman to go to a hotel room with him. When she refused, police said the man beat her and sexually assaulted her behind Perry’s Café. Anyone with information relating to the case is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (888) 540-8477.

Teacher honored for work in economics A local teacher has been honored for her expertise in teaching economics. Vivian Love, from Point Loma High, was named Economic Educator of the Year. The award includes a $1,000 grant from Cox Cable and San Diego County Credit Union. Also, Cox Cable will produce a 30-minute video featuring Love that will air in the fall. — Scott Hopkins

Animal-rescue event set at Shades Animal lovers will have a chance on Sunday, March 24 to scoop up a lovable new pet during a pet-adoption event at Shades Oceanfront Bistro. The event, hosted by Shades, the San Diego Humane Society, Second Chance Dog Rescue and Aussie Shepard Rescue, will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 5083 Santa Monica Blvd. The event will feature puppies, grown dogs, kittens and cats.

and producing my own songs.” With her cash winnings, Antonel said she is enjoying paying back the fans who supported her throughout the competition, planning a celebratory trip to Europe in May and recording her demo. “Right now, I’m having fun buying drinks for all the people that supported me and voted me through on the first round: Velvet Café fans and friends and family — many of whom drove all the way out to the Valley View Casino four times to see me perform,” she said. “More importantly, I’m going to use the

money to record my demo.” In the meantime, look for Antonel around San Diego singing with Velvet Café at Coronado-based venues like the Boathouse or Coronado Cays Yacht Club, catching up with friends over a well-deserved drink at Tiny’s in Ocean Beach or catch her hard at work in Balboa Park. Regardless of where you catch the hometown celebrity in San Diego, expect to see much more from the talented young woman in the years to come.

THURSDAY · MARCH 21, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

EXPLOSION CONTINUED FROM Page 1

off. A deafening explosion, followed by endless rumbling and smaller blazes, instantly turned the scene into an action flick. Panic and irritation hit me as I watched walls, windows and door frames blast from the second floor. Glass and debris catapulted 40 to 50 feet into the outdoor pool area. Flames, smoke and dust followed. I wondered whether a plane hit the building, a truck slipped off the road or the building was under attack and now folding in. I saw people jump from the second floor, running down stairways for cover, screaming. Total panic broke out. The scenario seemed unreal and in slow motion. The air filled with a rotten smell of sulphur, ammonia and burned matchbooks. That is when a more realistic thought popped into my head: a meth-lab explosion. Suddenly calmer, my next thought — after realizing that my dogs in my room seemed safe for the moment — was to snap some photos and jot down a news report, getting it to my editor quickly. I would be the first reporter with the news, as no other news teams had gotten wind of this explosion yet. I could capture these horrifying moments up close at the scene.

The building emptied, panic struck people piled up in the street, watching glass, phones, towels and other things fly through the air. That’s when I decided to be a helping citizen, instead of a news professional snapping away with my camera. Left with only two other guys on the second-floor stairway, I heard myself yell at the people in the street to call 9-1-1, as time appeared to stand still. Everybody was frozen in shock. I urged the two guys to get fire extinguishers from around the corner. One of them was Joseph Tydingco, 52, a SeaWorld maintenance worker who was living at the hotel at the time. It looked like flames came out of several rooms. The other guy, a worker from across the street who ran over to help, carefully made his way with me to the room we believed the explosion had erupted from, while Tydingco tried to extinguish the immediate flames. Parts of the wall, windows and doors of the room were sprinkled by the pool, other parts were dangling off the hallway rail. I called out for people who might be trapped in the destroyed rooms or under the debris in the hallway, wondering when police, fire personnel and paramedics would arrive. Thinking we were the last ones in the building, we went downstairs, where I heard a cry for help.

NEWS I went back up toward the second floor and a young male — I believe in his early 20s — stumbled out of the exploded room through the mess in the hallway, his body smoldering, blistered, with greenish-yellowish skin covered by a whitish antiqued look, patches of charcoaled hair on his burned scalp. He stumbled toward me, seemingly disoriented. As I led him down the stairs, he uttered, “Please help me.” His skin hung off his raw, bloody hands and feet. His pants had melted on to his burned legs. His shirt and shoes were shredded off. It was hard to tell which of the pieces hanging off his hands was burnt skin or the shredded, disposable gloves he wearing. With every step, skin hanging on the bottom of his feet was flopping like a loose shoe sole before it partially came off and shriveled up in front of us. I resisted the urge to vomit. Once at the bottom of the stairs, I propped him against the wall and on my arm, inspecting his body. He said he was freezing, even though his entire body was steaming. I could feel the heat through my sweater. I kept asking him for his name and age, anything to keep him talking and conscious, as I watched the skin of his lips, eyelids and ears peel off, along with the skin on the rest of his exposed body. I noticed that his eyelashes and eyebrows were burned off, too. He cried and screamed for pain medication and repeatedly said how sorry he was to have caused the fire and explosion. He said that he didn’t really know what hit him, that all he remembered was lighting up “something to smoke” while “making the dope” and the place exploded. Suddenly, a disheveled young girl

wrapped in a burned hotel comforter — I had seen the two in the room together before — crept down the stairs, crying hysterically. The skin on her hands and feet was also hanging off in shreds. Her body had the same ghoulish look as the man’s. Now, the guy tries to explain to me that they were in the room together, before and during the explosion. I yelled at both of them that I believe that they were cooking meth. Neither of them disagreed. The guy repeated how sorry he was and that he “will never do ‘the stuff ’ again.” A couple of days prior, I had noticed heavy traffic in and out of that particular room, especially at night. Lots of strangers coming and going. It seemed that someone always stood outside the room or hanging out in the hallway. There appeared to be a couple of rooms occupied by a group of six to eight people, including this couple and several dogs. A faint chemical smell was always noticeable when I had passed that room before. Some residents of the hotel portrayed the couple as “tweakers,” or methamphetamine users. The guy asked me if anyone else was hurt, then he lost consciousness for a moment. The girl never said a word. She just kept crying. The guys’ skin kept dissolving rapidly. I was terrified, hoping for paramedics to arrive soon. As I tried to comfort him, police Sgt. Robin Rose arrived and firemen finally made their way through, heading upstairs. I explained to the very helpful officer who these two injured people were, and that I had comforted them since after the explosion. I urged the officer to find me a stack of clean towels, to cover up the injured man’s body. Within seconds, the officer handed me clean towels. Finally, paramedics arrived to tend to the badly injured young man, but I was asked not to leave him and keep talking to

him. He wanted me to touch him because he “couldn’t feel my hand or hear my voice anymore.” He managed to thank me for my help and asked that I tell people that he was ashamed and sorry, in case he died. He added how scared he was, then fell unconscious again as paramedics took him away on a gurney. Despite my anger with the two young kids I was glad that I was able to comfort them. When I asked paramedics whether the guy was going to be survive, they responded that he might not. Back on the street, the whole area had been taped off and city and federal authorities swarmed. Fire crews had quickly gained control of the fire. Numerous news teams arrived. Personally too caught up in the disaster, I again realized that I did not opt for my job as a reporter, but rather helped out as a human being. My next worry were my two puppies, who had been trapped in my room for over an hour. After breaking through the window, fire crews were soon able to release my scared dogs to me. Reality and exhaustion was now catching up with me. I noticed the back side of the building was blown out into the rear parking lot and I started to realize the extent of the blaze and the severe damage it had done to the entire building. Hours of questioning by officers and detectives followed. News crews were hoping for stories, as well. Much later that night, we were able to collect our belongings from the former room. Meanwhile, hotel management tried to accommodate every guest of the destroyed building with a new room. Throughout the night, a spooky, eerie feeling from the destroyed building hovered in the dark, the smell of fire and the overbearing sense of tragedy lingered in the air.

unique. All you had to do was hear a couple of words and you knew who was singing.” With an appeal to such a widespread fan base that spans many generations, his popularity extends well beyond the Peninsula. “We receive emails from around the world and they keep coming. Now, we hear from kids and grandkids of his fans,” said Marino. “His popularity is probably larger in other countries than it is here in the U.S. We are in touch with his other fan clubs around the world.” Marino said Laine was more than just a great singer and entertainer. “He was a very nice guy,” he said. “He loved his audience and always gave 100 percent in his performance. He would always stay after his show as long as someone wanted his autograph or to have their picture taken with him. He loved his fans as much as they loved him.” Ultimately, Marino and Team Frankie Laine members hope fans simply enjoy camaraderie among the spirit of the venerable entertainer and help carry on Laine’s legacy. “Frankie’s fans enjoy seeing each other at these events we put on each year,” said Marino. “The goal of Team Frankie Laine is to keep his music and image alive.” Tickets to the event are $65 and can be purchased online at www.frankielaine.com or by calling (760) 943-9911.

entertain Laine’s biggest fans than those who know his work best? The sultry sounds of singer Sacha Boutros, who Laine discovered before his death in 2007, will open the show, followed by a Las Vegas-style performance by recording artist and Laine’s friend, Bobby Arvon, along with a big-band show featuring Laine’s former director, Benny Hollman, leading the 12-piece orchestra through his famous songbook. “The stage will support Benny’s big band and a baby grand piano, which Bobby Arvon will be utilizing from time to time. There will be pictures, posters and other memorable items for the fans to enjoy and remember,” said Jimmy Marino, Laine’s former producer and manager. Laine was a longtime San Diego resident who gained fame for his eclectic variety of songs ranging form big-band and jazz to Western-theme styles. Throughout his career, he earned 21 gold records and sold more than 200 million records, but for friends and fans, he will be remembered for much more than that. “Frankie will be remembered for his love of San Diego, respect for his loyal audience and leaving us with all the great music he gave us,” said Marino. “He was hard working, very humble and so very talented. He was so

La Dow and Reynolds were both skippers for the national champion PLHS sailing team during their prep days. Both are now in college, La Dow at St. Mary's College of Maryland and Reynolds at College of Charleston in South Carolina. “We have so many people behind us,” La Dow said. “People at the San Diego Yacht Club are excited there is a strong team coming from the club.” Reynolds agreed. “We'll be spending all summer in San Francisco as soon as our college classes end,” Reynolds said. Both will be sailing for the USA45 Racing Team, representing the entire U.S. Another boat in the competition (American Youth Sailing Force) will represent the city of San Francisco. “Our team is comprised of sailors from all around the country,” Reynolds said. “There are people from Florida to Virginia and Newport Beach, along with the three of us from San Diego.” “We’re all blown away,” La Dow concluded. “We don't even realize how big an event this will be. Everyone is superexcited for us.” EXTRA NOTES • The America’s Cup is the oldest active trophy in international sports, first awarded in 1851 and most recently won in 2010 by the Golden Gate Yacht Club, host of this summer’s defense. • Veteran sailor Charlie Ogletree, most recently skipper of China’s America’s Cup entry, was named last week as the head coach of Team USA45.

PLNU players capture prestigious honors PLNU ATHLETICS DEPT. COMMUNICATIONS Rhoads named to All-PacWest Team Callie Rhoads capped off a fantastic junior season for the Point Loma Nazarene University women’s basketball team by being named to the All-Pacific West Conference second team. Jessica Escorza also picked up an honorable mention. Rhoads led Point Loma and ranked ninth in the PacWest with 14.4 points per game. She led the conference with 2.5 treys per game while ranking second in 3-point percentage (44.2). The shooting guard from Poway High School scored in double-figures in 20 of 24 games, including reaching the 20-point plateau five times. Rhoads also hit a 3point shot in all but one game, and connected for four or more 3-pointers in six games. Escorza was the second-leading scorer on the season for PLNU with 10.5 points per game. The sophomore from Virginia came on strong in the second half of the season to average 16.5 points per game over the Sea Lions’ last 13 contests. She shot 46.9 percent from the field and 75.7 percent from the charity stripe. Escorza also posted the Sea Lions’ season-high of 32 points in a win over Fresno Pacific. This is Point Loma’s first season as a member of the PacWest. Rhoads’ second-team honor is the highest for any Sea Lion to date. She joins PLNU women’s soccer student-athletes Tiffany Kracy, Kallie Caldwell, Amanda Mitchell and Kelli LeClair of the volleyball team, who were all named to their respective third teams, as the Sea Lions’ all-conference selections during the 2012-13 year.

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY MARSHA KAY SEFF | THE BEACON A wheelchair hasn’t kept 29-year-old Lindsey Shaw from learning to dance. Neither has it deterred the Bird Rock resident’s dance-class friends from enjoying the freedom, fun and exercise of gliding their wheels around a polished wooden floor to the sound of upbeat music. The wheelchair-dance group is searching for sponsors and donations that will defray event costs, as well as help support classes and other activities. The group also needs volunteer walkers, as well as more venues for classes. “My quest is to inspire other challenged people and show how wheelchair dancing can make a positive impact on one’s body, mind and spirit,” said Beverly Weurding, a dancer before she was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy who founded the Wheelchair Dancers Organization. “There are no limitations, except the ones we place upon ourselves.” Shaw, who was born with spina bifida and began taking dance classes about six months ago, agreeD. She said she doesn’t let her physical challenges get in her way. In fact, she’s been boxing from her chair for

the last seven years and she said she doesn’t think of herself as disabled. The Wheelchair Dancers Organization got its start in 2009 with an assist from a ballroom-dance program at Sharp Grossmont Hospital. National grants for the hospital’s rehabilitation center helped expand its wheelchair ballroom-dance program throughout San Diego County and cover costs for 11 custom-built sports wheelchairs. The hospital continues to support local wheelchair-dance lessons. Joe Torres, organization director and choreographer for this week’s showcase, has been teaching ballroom dance for two decades. He started teaching wheelchair dance almost three years ago after attending an expo and seeing the enthusiasm of the participants. “I was hooked. I never got that enthusiasm from my other classes,” he said. “It is a really good feeling — and I like feeling good.” He points out that wheelchair dancing offers such physical benefits as increased strength, endurance and range of motion, as well as greater emotional well being. Torres, who thinks of himself as the “dance whisperer,” teaches wheelchair

dance Mondays from 5 to 6 p.m. at Better Life Mobility, 8130 Parkway Drive; Thursdays from 11 a.m. to noon at the War Memorial Building, 3325 Zoo Drive, at the north end of the Zoo parking lot; and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to noon at Dance for 2, 7528 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Classes are free, and Torres is accepting new students. “We donate space because we love their mission: Everyone who wants to should be able to dance,” said Ericka Deacon of Dance for 2. Though Torres admitted there are some limits to dancing in a wheelchair — “You can’t count steps out and there are no lifts or drops” — the impediments were fewer than some might think. “They’re great people who just happen to be in wheelchairs,” he said of his dancers, some of whom he said find the classes to be so important that they’ll take up to three hours to get ready and take the bus to class. “And they don’t miss a class.” It’s no coincidence that one of the group numbers at this week’s exhibition will feature a dance to “Stand by Me,” said Torres, pointing to both his enthusiastic rollers and the men and women who stand by them. “There’s nothing I want to do that I can’t

PLHS BASEBALL ALUMI: A SCRAPPY BUNCH By SCOTT HOPKINS I THE BEACON

Forty years ago, a scrappy group of Point Loma High School players won the 1973 CIF baseball championship. Now in their late 50s, the team has remained in touch and members cherish the lifelong friendships formed on what was then a nameless and rather plain diamond. But for this special group, it was their very own Field of Dreams. For the past 15 years, they have formed the core of a Pointer alumni team that returns annually to take on the newest version of the Pointer varsity squad. This year’s game was played Feb. 16, and while their competitive natures are ageless, they confide that, despite lengthy stretching and warm-ups before each year’s game, they will be “sore as hell” the next day. Perhaps these aging ballplayers best illustrate the school’s motto: “Once a Pointer, Always a Pointer.” “What's been created here (David Wells Field) is phenomenal for Point Loma High School,” said 1973 team spokesperson Steve Grimes. “Fifteen years ago when we started this, we had no idea either the field or alumni game would look like this. Now, we have all these people (1973 to 2012) coming back and, hopefully, the youngsters on the varsity see they can be part of this at some point in time. Point Loma is like a big family, and we’re very fortunate to be able to get together and still do this.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 18 140 Yards uses up-and-comer status to make a name for itself THURSDAY · MARCH 21, 2013

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON There are few institutions in San Diego that have had as big an impact on music as Point Loma High School. Beginning in the late 1950s, the school has churned out a multitude of prominent musicians, including the likes of pianist Mike Wofford, several members of reggae rockers Slightly Stoopid, ace songwriter Carl Rusk of the Nashville Ramblers and Chicago frontman Jason Scheff. The school is known for its music programs and continues to produce aspiring artists, including a reggae, ska and R&B band called 140 Yards, which performs at The Harp on March 24. The seven-piece band includes frontman and guitarist Eddy Allen, lead guitarist Matt Alcantara, bassist Seth Irby, drummer Alex Allen, alto saxophonist Ilish Gedestad, soprano saxophonist Cole Van den Helder and tenor saxophonist Spencer Gedestad, all of whom are students at Point Loma High School, with the exception of Alcantara, who graduated last year. Originally performing under the name Taco Tuesday, the band has been gigging for about six months, though the core of the group, the Allen brothers and Alcantara, have been playing together for two years. That is a considerable length of time when you consider that drummer Alex Allen — the youngest member of the band — is only 15 years old. According to Alex, he’s not sure what the band’s current name really means, though it comes via a major celebrity. “I don’t know. It’s kind of between our guitarist and Will Farrell,” Alex said. “Our guitarist, Matt, went golfing with Will Farrell out of luck. And that’s how the inside joke started.” In truth, it was only natural that the Allen brothers found their way into a band. Alex points out he comes from a musical family. His mother was a bassist

and his father was a guitarist. While a band with two brothers might seem rife for turmoil, as seen in such famous cases as the Gallagher brothers of Oasis and the Everly Brothers, Alex considers the situation to be quite the opposite in this case. “Playing in a band with my brother is great,” Alex said. “We connect with each other musically because we live together. So we’re really tight.” Ironically, though Alex is making his name as a drummer, that wasn’t his first option. “My mom wanted me to play piano as a kid, so I started out playing that . I didn’t really liked it much, so tried a bunch of different instruments. But I always wanted to play the drums and when I tried it, I loved it.” Though the band occasionally throws in a cover tune like “Badfish” by Sublime or “Sissy Strut” by the Meters, 140 Yards is primarily about its original music, with inspiration taken from the likes of Slightly Stoopid and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

has recorded an EP’s worth of tunes, with more recording ahead. Though Allen is just starting out in music, he said he likes what he’s experienced so far. “Being a musician at 15 is great, because it’s one of the best creative outlets,” Allen said. “For all the creativity I have playing, drums are the main way that I get it all out, and it gives me something to do all the time, which is pretty cool.” While he said he hopes 140 Yards continues its upward trajectory, Allen is also realistic. “I love everybody in the band, and playing with them and everything. [But] I don’t have high expectations, even though I think a lot of our songs are really good. I’m just going to go with the flow. And if it gets big, that would be pretty cool,” he said. • 140 Yards: Sunday, March 24 at The Harp, 4935 Newport Ave. 3 p.m. 21 and up.www.facebook.com/Cali-RootsMusic

THURSDAY · MARCH 21, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

A fresh variety to Ocean Beach’s seafood menu BY BIANCA KOCH | THE BEACON Growing up in San Diego, years of hard work at his parents’ popular coffee shop, Harry’s in La Jolla, helped 35-year-old John Rudolph acquire the necessary know-how to open a restaurant of his own. The newly opened Newport Yacht Club is located at 5060 Newport Ave. in Ocean Beach, below Ace Tattoo, filling the space left by the Mexican restaurant El Rodeo. Newly remodeled, with new equipment and under new ownership, the Newport Yacht Club opens daily from 11 a.m, to 9 p.m. The menu offers a variety of freshgrilled fish and seafood items, fish tacos and sandwiches, tortas and fresh salads.

The restaurants’ unique specialty is cioppino soup, a mix of fresh fish (salmon, mahi-mahi, halibut and other seafood) and fresh vegetables in a hearty tomato-base broth. “We try to have a different fresh-fishselection available every day,” said Rudolph. “We let the customer choose the type of fish and the flavor of fish marinade before we grill the fish to their liking.” To stay with the healthy trend, none of the fish is fried. “We serve fresh, healthy food,” said Rudolph. Prices range between $4.50 and $10 per dish. Rudolph said he noticed that the majority of restaurants on Newport

es, seats and tables; two big orange umbrellas provide plenty of shade. The wooden nautical-themed indoor seating area reminds of a boat interior, featuring portholes in the walls and a big panoramic window overlooking Newport Avenue. “It’s [the interior] all made of redwood — and the portholes are there to allow JOHN RUDOLPH our customers a glance into the kitchen,” Owner of newly opened Newport Yacht Club restaurant in OB Rudolph said.

fident and comfortable with the location of his restaurant. “When this spot became available, I immediately jumped on it,” he said. Rudolph said he wants his restaurant to look and feel completely different from El Rodeo. “I’d like for my guests to know that this place is totally different — different menu, different atmosphere, different dining experience,” he said. Rudolph said he is also planning to cater to the late-night crowd in the near future. “We’re looking to stay open until 2:30 a.m, Thursdays through Saturdays.” A grand-opening party at the Newport Yacht Club is scheduled for April.

A graduating Point Loma High football player has been named to a prestigious list of top scholarathletes in the county. Greg Verdugo, a linebacker for the 9-4 Pointers last season, was named a scholar-athlete leader by the National Football Foundation’s Walter J. Zable/San Diego Chapter, one of 120 chapters nationwide. Verdugo joins 25 others who received the honor and will be honored at the group’s 41st annual banquet March 29 at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Mission Valley. Criteria for the award include maintaining a high grade-point average while being leaders and outstanding players on their teams. Citizenship at school and in the community is also evaluated. Verdugo’s grade-point average is 4.5 and he was named to the All-Western League first-team defense. Verdugo led the Pointers last season with 94 tackles and was among the leaders in sacks with three. This isn’t Verdugo’s first honor from the group. At a Pointer home game last season, several foundation representatives were on hand to select a most valuable player in the contest. Verdugo was selected that day, and he

GREG VERDUGO joined 21 other MVPs in attending a San Diego Chargers game where the group was introduced on the field. Also honored at the banquet will be others involved in prep football, including top team physicians and referees.

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.
