Oversize-vehicle law pushes forward; city officials harbor concerns over spillover BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON

Family fun awaits during this year’s Day at the Docks event.

Sportfisher’s paradise returns to San Diego Bay April 21 BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON San Diego’s longstanding sportfishing tradition, Day at the Docks, returns again for the 34th consecutive year on April 21 to celebrate the official launch of Southern California’s spring saltwater fishing season. Amid the backdrop of world-renowned sportfishing fleets on San Diego’s stunning bay, more than 20,000 festival visitors will descend on the family-friendly event this year to enjoy goods and services from more than 200 exhibitors, free marine attractions, fishing seminars and hands-on demonstrations any sportfishing and marine enthusiast will enjoy. From exploring the latest in fishing tackle from the industry’s leading manufacturers to uncovering insider tips on catching, prepping and cooking fresh catches, Day at the Docks offers a diverse range of valuable information packed into one event right on Point Loma’s picturesque harbor. Exhibits showcasing the evolution of saltwater-tackle design will cater to mariner history buffs, while casting contests will test anglers’ skills. The event will feature free kids’ fishing adventures, boat rides around the bay and live entertainment to give the whole family plenty to do at the event. “The festival started out to be just about

Police Capt. Andy Mills, the new cop in charge of the Western Division of the San Diego Police Department, has hit the ground running. Mills had only been Western’s top officer for a matter of days March 27 when he made his first appearance before a community group at the Ocean Beach Town Council’s regular monthly meeting. Right away, Mills made it clear he wants to establish himself as someone who solves problems by

being accessible in the community. He said his first order of business is factfinding. In quick order, Mills encouraged citizens to share their concerns via email (amills@pd.sandiego.gov), and join him in a walk throughout the Ocean Beach community on April 2. “I want you to have direct access to me,” Mills said. “The whole idea is to hear firsthand what you’re seeing so we can craft solutions. I want you to share with me your vision and your priorities with this neighborhood and I’ll share with you my vision

Western Division’s top cop making the community a priority BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON

As momentum builds for an ordinance that would ban recreational vehicles, boats and trailers from parking on public streets from 2 to 6 a.m., District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer said he would urge his colleagues to refrain from applying the ban citywide when the matter comes before the council in a month or so. Faulconer, who for years has championed an oversize-vehicle ordinance, said he remains steadfast in his support of a twoyear pilot boundary that would mostly apply to the Midway District-Sports Arena area, beaches and other areas west of Interstate 5. Last week Faulconer, who has been actively making rounds at local community group meetings, said his fellow councilmembers remain concerned about homeless people in RVs heading inland during the pilot period. “My colleagues are concerned that if we do such a good job west of [I-]5, it’ll inundate their neighborhoods,” Faulconer said March 20 at the monthly meeting of the North Bay Community Planning Group. “I can see

how people would think that. It’s like a balloon when you push on it. If there are crazy, unintended consequences in three or four months, we’ll revisit it. But let’s try to get it out of the gate in a confined area that makes sense.” San Diego is one of the few cities in the county without such an ordinance, Faulconer said. “We bear the brunt because of that, particularly the beach areas. As the summer season approaches, we want to make sure we have that tool.” A push for an ordinance five years ago was tabled because of budgetary reasons, Faulconer said. Last week, the City Council’s Land Use and Housing Committee approved advancing the ordinance to the full City Council. A date has not been set. Among the highlights of the proposal, still in draft form, known officially as the Neighborhood Parking Protection Ordinance: • No parking between 2 and 6 a.m. on public streets; 24-hour ban within 50 feet of an intersection. Fine: $100 • Two-year pilot boundary: west of Interstate 5, north of

and priorities for this command.” Mills said he appreciated the uniqueness of the beach communities and said he looks forward to learning more about its needs and sensitivities. “We’re going to take a look at the problems,” he said. “We’re going to find the best solutions we can, but at the same time, treat people justly. Justice not only includes putting people in jail, but caring for those in great need.” SEE MILLS, Page 6

A city ordinance banning parking of recreational vehicles, boats and trailers on public streets during certain hours continues to move forward. But some City Councilmembers are concerned the ban will push the problem inland to other communities.

Sacred Heart Academy closes its doors after more than 60 years in OB BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACO0N Since 1950, Sacred Heart Academy has been educating a bright young group of students at its private K-8 Catholic school. Over the years, however, with enrollment numbers on the decline, diocesan leaders at Sacred Heart Church, which founded the parochial school more than 60 years ago, determined it was time to close the school’s doors for good. “We just can’t generate the number of students we need to

make it sustainable,” said Father Ron Hebert. With enrollment being the primary source of funding to meet the school’s obligations and the student population falling short of hitting its target number again this year, the school is no longer viable, said Hebert. “We are looking for 200 students in all. That is the number that would permit us to be able to take care of not only ongoing responsibilities with salaries, but SEE CLOSURE, Page 7

teams from around the world in their ability to design and build a robot required to undergo specific tasks in the action-packed competition. In this year’s challenge, Ultimate Ascent, teams working with professional engineering mentors over a six-week period were tasked to fabricate a robot that scored points by flying 11-inch discs into 8-foot-tall goals during two-minute matches. “The six-week build season starts the first Saturday in January and ends the Tuesday after Presidents’ Day weekend. It starts off with a kick-off event where FIRST announces a new game and releases the game manual for that year,” said Holy Cows’ mentor Jon Jack. “Prior to this point, the teams have no idea what the game is going to be, so what follows is an intense period of strategy, design, fabrication, assembly and testing.” Jack and his robotics team met every day during the build season, developing strategy, testing robot actions, simulating the game and prototyping the robot from CAD models before finally to bringing their robot, “Daisy Thunder,” to life. The team’s diligence paid off, with “Daisy Thunder” wowing the crowd at the competition by winning 16 of 17 matches and earning Holy Cows the highest honor in the regional competition for the fifth consecutive

In addition to the obvious benefit of developing key engineering talents, students on the robotics team also acquire invaluable skill sets beyond the fields of science and technology. “They learn how to work in a large team, time management, public speaking and leadership skills,” said Jack. “FIRST also opens the door to college scholarships. Many colleges and universities realize the type of students FIRST produces and want those students at their school.”

Some past team members who may never have thought of science and technology as a career option have gone on to college to pursue degrees in engineering and design thanks to the benefits of the program, said Jack. Despite the team’s many past and present successes, Jack emphasized the importance of positive progression as his team looks forward to its next challenge at the world championships. “One of our tenants is continuous improvement. We never look at our robot and go ‘it’s done.’ No matter what, there’s always something we can do better or improve on,” he said. “The next three weeks, we’ll be making changes to the robot and testing those changes. One of our goals every year is to build a robot capable of competing for a world championship and this year is no different.” Despite previously making it to the “Sweet Sixteen” in the world championships three times, team Holy Cows has yet to secure the world championship’s highest title, the Chairman’s Award – an achievement the team hopes to accomplish in this year’s competition. “Winning this award would be a huge honor as there are only three teams west of the Mississippi to have won this award,” said Jack. “This year we hope to get over that hump and hopefully bring a world championship to San Diego.” What’s with the name? An often-overlooked component of the FIRST competition is the need for teams to stand out — both in skill and in name, said Jack. After High Tech High’s robotics team, formerly known as “A Fistful of Motors,” attended its first competition in 2005, the team realized its team name was indistinguishable from the rest. “There are over 2,000 teams in FIRST and so it’s easy to get lost in the crowd when regional competitions have between 40 and 70 teams, and the championships have almost 400 teams competing,” said Jack. “We wanted to stand out and be noticed and easy to remember.” Over the next year, the team began brainstorming new names, listing around 50 potential names on a white board for review between the 2005 and 2006 seasons. “Brett Peterson, who was a humanities teacher at the time and is currently the director of High Tech High, walked in and said, ‘Holy Cow! That’s a lot of names!’” said Jack. From that point on, the Holy Cows was added to the white board and the name stuck.

NEWS & ENTERTAINMENT 5 Grateful Dead tribute band pounds it out at Winston’s THURSDAY · APRIL 4, 2013

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACO There are plenty of tribute bands in San Diego, but few have the longevity or the following of the Electric Waste Band, champions of all things musical connected to the Grateful Dead. The band has a long-running Monday-night residency at Winston’s Beach Club, so it’s possible for Dead Heads to get their weekly fix of their favorite iconic, 1960s-era band. Comprised of keyboardist Paul Bell, guitarists Robert Harvey and Mark Fisher, drummer Ed Fletcher and bassist Bob Rosencrans, the band was formed in 1990. “After paying to see them for so many weeks and wondering why there was no keyboard player, I joined the band in 1995,” Bell said. “I left for a year and a half and came back, and have now been playing non-stop with EWB since 1998.” For Bell, his inspiration for being in the band came from his school days. “I got into the [Grateful] Dead right out of high school and went to a lot of West Coast Grateful Dead shows between 1990 and 1995,” he said. “I learned the music from seeing them live, and used to seek out piano-practice rooms at the local community colleges wherever I was, so I could put on my own Grateful Dead sets on the piano. That said, I don’t think I ever would have imagined I would do something like play this music weekly for 16 years straight.” Beyond their regular Monday night Ocean Beach gig, Electric Waste Band has also performed in Hawaii and Las Vegas. Today, the band has a set list of more than 100 songs, ranging from originals to songs the Dead covered by Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Buddy Holly. “We do a few they never did, like some Pink Floyd or Allman Brothers. We do not

plan out a set. We rely on people from the crowd shouting at us,” Bell said. “We will do things, like discuss which songs are being overlooked or might be due to be played. The varying degree of our sets and of Grateful Dead music, in general, over the years, is one of those things that keeps me, and I suspect a lot of Dead Heads, coming back for more,” Bell said. “More so than any other band, the Grateful Dead’s wide song list is a true luxury for a musician. I mean, if I played in an Eagles cover band or something, I would be playing the same songs, the same way, night after night. The wide song list is a big part of being able to do this for so many years.” He cites “Shakedown Street” as a particular crowd pleaser. For Bell, his musical aspirations started much earlier than his 1995 entry into the band. “In kindergarten, on my first day, I was arguing with some kid about something, and for punishment, my teacher made me sit on the piano bench during recess while the other kids went outside. I started playing the theme from ‘Jaws,’ and then asked my parents for lessons.” Though he gave a piano recital as early as age 5, music didn’t end up being Bell’s main focus in life, but that doesn’t make it any less important to him. “At that recital, I did ‘Fur Elise,’ and made a mistake halfway through,” he remembered. “So, being somewhat of a perfectionist, I started the whole thing over and nailed it. The crowd loved it.” Ultimately, Bell didn’t become a full-time musician, though he’s played in local band Last Exit, has a solo CD called “Hourglass,” and is working on a follow-up. “I have sold dozens of albums, and stand to make literally tens of dollars,” he joked.

“It is kind of funny, because there is another guy with my same name over in England with a few releases, and if you look for me on Spotify, or whatever, you get his stuff in there, too. I gave up on trying to fix i.t” For Bell, it’s all just part of the process of making music. “I didn’t choose musician as a profession, although I knew I would always make music and I would always be a musician,” Bell said. “Unlike other trades, where there is usually a motive behind it, making music is its own motive. I will always feel the need to write music, kind of like I will probably always feel the need to play through some good old Grateful Dead tunes at least once a week.” • Electric Waste Band: Monday, April 8 and April 15 at Winston’s Beach Club, 1921 Bacon St. 9 p.m. $5. 21 and up. www.winstonsob.com

Ask The Lawyer Question:

Can you explain powers of attorney?

There are two types of powers of attorney, one for healthcare and one for asset management. They can both be durable which means that if the person who gave the power becomes incapable of handling their own affairs, then the agent can act for the benefit of and on behalf of that person. An attorney drafts a Power of Attorney that includes safeguards for the principal and restrictions on the agent.

Answer:

The agent under a Healthcare Power of Attorney, also known as a living will, can be authorized to instruct doctors to terminate life prolonging procedures, to hire and fire doctors, and to hire personal attendants for home care. The agent will also be able to arrange for burial or cremation.

Virginia Weber Laskowitz Estate Attorney

An agent under an Asset Power of Attorney can manage the principal's financial affairs during incapacity. The powers granted are usually quite broad so selecting a trustworthy person to act for you is important. A Power of Attorney can be written so that the power becomes effective only when the principal becomes incapable, as certified by two (2) doctors. Accordingly, the power can be written now for future use. The Power of Attorney is an important document, which should be discussed with y our attorney prior to signing it. Its value in avoiding expensive, court-supervised conservatorships is substantial.

MILLS CONTINUED FROM Page 1

This is not Mills’ first time around at Western Division, which is made up of Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs, Point Loma Heights, Roseville-Fleetridge, La Playa, Loma Portal, Wooded Area, Midway District, Midtown, Mission Hills, Linda Vista, Mission Valley West, Morena, Old Town, University Heights and Hillcrest. He served as a Western Division lieutenant before taking on assignments in gang investigations and criminal intelligence. In 2011, he was promoted to captain of SDPD’s Eastern Division. During his 18 months at Eastern Division, Mills oversaw Operation Constant Crook, an effort targeting crimes committed by parolees released to the counties under the state’s prison realignment plan. In 2012, the number of parolees arrested increased to more than 400 from only 74 the previous year, Mills said. “My history is a little bit aggressive,” Mills said. “When I come into a command, I expect things to happen. I don’t want to hear that we’re working as hard as we can. I want something to take place. I want some action on the back of that. I can guarantee you that things are going to move.” Mills, a Bird Rock resident who has

lived in the city for 30 years, fills an opening created by the departure of Walt Vasquez, Western Division’s previous captain who has moved up to replaced Boyd Long as SDPD’s assistant chief of Patrol Operations. “We’re very happy to have [Mills] back,” said community services officer David Surwilo. “It’s been a win-win situation. We lose a great captain, we gain another great captain.” In other Town Council news • With the ever-increasing interest in urban agriculture, Ocean Beach resident and business owner Charles Cairns is on the lookout for a place to site a new community garden. Cairns said officials from the city’s Park and Recreation Department have given him the green light to pursue a dirt lot in the extreme northwest corner of Robb Field. It’s a patch of earth on the south side of the Ocean Beach Bike Path at the 1/4-mile marker used for overflow parking. • District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer will give a State of the District address April 10 at 6 p.m. in the Sunset Ballroom of the Paradise Point Resort and Spa, 1404 Vacation Road. • April 19 is the deadline for local high school students to enter the 2013 Congressional Art Competition. The winning entry will be displayed at the U.S. Capitol for one year, said Shea Benton, aide to 52nd District Congressman Scott

Peters. Entry requirements are available on Peters’ website. • The devices that provide a digital display of the traffic speeds of cars on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard have been nonoperational for several months, and there’s no set date for their repair. The city is waiting for replacement parts to arrive, said Faulconer aide Michael Patton. • The transfer of assets from Union Bank to Chase is complete, said treasurer Melinda Therkalson. The balance is almost $25,000, she said. • Cindy Martin, the new superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District, and board member Kevin Beiser will appear for a meet-and-greet at the Point Loma Democratic Club April 28 at 4 p.m. at Point Loma Assembly, 3035 Talbot St., said club president Susan Peinado. • That buzzer you just heard means time has run out if you wanted to join the Town Council in time to vote for the design of the new sign at the Sunset Cliffs Boulevard entryway.

Election buzz caused one of the largest-ever onemonth spikes in membership to occur in March, said correspondence secretary Heather Richards.

Suspect in alleged sexual assault held on $300,000 bail in Ocean Beach case Bail has been set at $300,000 for a man who is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in Ocean Beach on March 24. Richard Christopher Butts, 25, pleaded not guilty March 27 before San Diego Superior Court Judge David Szumowski. He is charged with kidnapping,

forcible oral copulation and assault with intent to commit rape. A preliminary hearing has been set for April 10. The victim was walking on Long Branch Avenue in Ocean Beach around 10:15 p.m. when a man grabbed her and attacked her. The woman screamed and neighbors

called police. Butts was arrested by San Diego police near Robb Field. He has a misdemeanor trespassing conviction in Washington, but no other prior record, according to court records. He remains in the George Bailey Detention Facility. — Neal Putnam

Point Loma High baseball players will have the opportunity of a lifetime when they face league rival La Jolla in an April 19 game at 1 p.m. at Petco Park.

PLHS, La Jolla High get dream chance to play in big-league venue BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Playing in a major league stadium is every young athlete’s dream, and for varsity baseball players at Point Loma High School, that dream is about to come true. The Pointers have been selected to play in downtown’s Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, as part of a Friday, April 19 tripleheader of prep games. Taking the field at 1 p.m. for the day’s first game, PLHS will be facing La Jolla High in a league game that is part of Western League standings. Tickets for the game are priced at $15 and $25 and include a ticket to return to Petco Park on May 3 to see the major league Padres battle their National League rival ArizonasDiamondbacks in a 7 p.m. encounter. Tickets for the event are available at all Pointer varsity baseball games or

through the school’s financial office during regular school hours. Rosemary Avalos also has tickets available at (619) 339-1042, as does Kathy Seymour at kathlenesk@yahoo.com. Later games at Petco Park on April 19 involve Escondido vs. Mission Hills at 4 p.m. and West Hills vs. Valhalla at 7 p.m. The Padres will be on an early-season road trip in San Francisco on this day. Pointer bats are beginning to come alive after the team was shut out four times in preseason and tournament play. The team improved to an overall record of 5-5 after downing Olympian High School 8-4 in its most recent game. The La Jolla High Vikings currently stand at 4-3, with a 10-1 win over Olympian last month.

S bond officials and members of the College, Career & Technical Education (CCTE) teams. The building, which will house video creation, editing and projection technology, is the result of a joint effort between Prop. S and CCTE. It is designed to introduce students to the exploding growth in video production, foster creative expression and help form career plans and goals. The cost of the state-of-the-art facility was $3.58 million. School leaders believe it will provide young filmmakers with opportunities available in very few other Southern California high schools.

FOLIO Talking with Your Doctor Has it been a long time since you left your doctor’s office feeling that your doctor had listened to you and understood your concerns? Here are a few ways to make things better: Write down all of your concerns. Prior to going to your MD appointment, make a list of things you would like to discuss. Keep the list to one page and talk about the important things first. Make your doctor a copy so that she can follow along. Don’t be shy. Make sure you discuss your concerns from the beginning. Make sure you speak up about the key issues so the doctor understands and knows what you think is important. Be sure to listen carefully. If you get nervous, take a tape recorder and ask the doctor is you can record the visit to help you better remember what was said. Take deep breaths and try to concentrate on what she is saying. Question what you don’t understand. Ask the doctor to explain things you don’t understand or if she proposes something that do not seem to fit your situation. Be truthful about your symptoms or situation. If you’re up all night with a cough or your mother’s wandering keeps you up all night, tell the doctor. How else is the doctor going to take your problems seriously? The nurses at Innovative Healthcare Consultants are advocates for our geriatric clients and have expertise in disease processes, medication management and behavior disorders. If your loved one is having problems

managing the problems that happen as we grow older, call to talk to a nurse at (760) 731-1334 or view our website at www.innovativehc.com. We are also able to provide caregivers in the home to help when you need a little help.

TTHURSDAY · APRIL 4, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

High Tech High students take their art on the road BY KENDRA HARTMANN | THE BEACION Drivers traveling between Point Loma and La Jolla last fall may have encountered a group of high schoolage students carrying what looked to be a very oversize cardboard box. They were in fact hauling a box measuring 12 feet long and 5 feet wide, but they were not merely laboring in the interest of transport. What the group was in fact doing was creating art. It all started when Jeff Robin, art teacher at High Tech High in Point Loma, came across “the largest box I’d ever seen” (a whiteboard had been delivered to the school in said box earlier that day). “I had been asked by Bird Rock Coffee Roasters if I could provide some art for the walls, and I started thinking, ‘Maybe we could paint that box,’” he said. Robin started discussing the idea with his students, and they began to brainstorm ideas for the design. “The problem was how were we going to get that box over to the Coffee Roasters?” he said. “We didn’t have a truck big enough.” At the suggestion of one of Robin’s students, Ines Diot, the group began to explore the idea of walking the box all the way from the school to the coffee shop, which, as they soon discovered

using Google Maps, was exactly 7.7 miles. Hoping to acquaint his students with conceptual performance art through more than a dry textbook definition, Robin decided to help them create a work of art through the experience of walking to the art’s final destination. And so 47 students took turns hoisting up the immense box, and for three hours, documented by a camera affixed to a tripod on a platform-bedecked bicycle (“Which was sketchy,” Robin said), made their way up the coast. Robin, who has escorted students to several countries through art-related field trips, surprised himself with his anxiety over walking the streets of his hometown. “When we were still only at NTC, I was thinking, ‘Will this work?’ I was kind of freaking out,” he said. “I’ve taken kids all over the world, but this made me very nervous.” Three hours later, the group arrived at the coffee shop, where owner Chuck Patton was waiting with pizza. Students and teacher were tired, but content. “I think the kids all felt proud. I think they felt like they were a part of something,” Robin said. “They were skeptical at first, but then they understood that the box wasn’t the art. The box and the pictures of us are remnants of the art that was us walking together. That’s a

memory they’ll have forever.” Later the same evening, the group returned to affix a selection of photos taken of the walk, in sequence from Point Loma to La Jolla, to the front of the box — along with a map showing the students’ route — and it was hung on the coffee shop’s wall. The photos serve, Robin said, to draw in and engage the viewer in the creative endeavor. “People can look at the map and photos and say, ‘Hey, I know that place,’ or, ‘I’ve been there,’” he said. The purpose of the experience served to show the students exactly how art is created, rather than merely showing them a picture of it, said Robin, who practices the education technique of project-based learning. “It’s bizarre to me that some people don’t get project-based learning,” he said. “Basically, these kids just did exactly what a real conceptual artist would do, and I have no doubt that every kid now knows what conceptual art is, and there’s no need to give them a test or anything. It’s real-world learning, and doing the real thing is what gives you passion.” Having the chance to display their work, Robin said, also connects the students to the community and lends credibility to the project. “They all felt like they were part of a community, and now there’s this con-

nection with the exhibit,” he said. “You need authenticity in art, and exhibiting gives it that. The connection is the exhibition.” As for the physical aspect of their cross-city sojourn, 10 of the students made the entire 7.7-mile journey, while the rest participated in sections. Robin walked the entire way with his class,

and as a result, he said, “I’ve been sore all week.” The display of the “7.7 Mile Box” project was on display at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, located at 5627 La Jolla Blvd., through the end of October. For more information, visit www.-jeffrobin.com.

FOOD & DRINK Las Olas offers up tasty Mexican fare on Point Loma Owners Dave Murphey and Pete Johnson, both originally from the area, said they are excited about the new venue, which offers plenty of parking. According to the owners, the menu offers many options, like “build your own tacos” with seafood, chicken, pork, along with carne asada taco platters and favorites like flame-roasted chili relleños stuffed with fall-off-the-bone-tender carnitas or seasonal grilled vegetable enchiladas. The owners boast honest food, prepared fresh daily from scratch with wholesome ingredients. A full bar also features margaritas and other fine drinks, along with a 10-tap draft selection of Mexican brews and

Broken Yolk The Broken Yolk Café is a favorite among local San Diegans and hungry visitors alike. With a strong dedication to good food and equally good service, the Broken Yolk has built a reputation for its large menu, ample portions and freshly-made flavor. Real shredded hash browns - not dehydrated potatoes. Salsa made fresh daily never from a can or jar. With over twenty different omelets plus a large variety of breakfast favorites including pancakes, waffles and French toast, Broken Yolk satisfies even the heartiest of diners - all in a clean, comfortable and casual atmosphere. Breakfast is served all day long, but if it's lunch you're craving, try one of our signature salads, juicy half-pound burgers or street taco plates. Whenever you're hungry, Broken Yolk is your place for fresh food served everyday of the week.

Special home and garden coverage Spring is in the air!

pring has officially sprung and that means it’s time to think about what can be done around the house. From weeding and replanting the garden to de-cluttering the garage to perhaps some major overhauls to your home and property, now’s the time to consider what you’d like to upgrade and what it will take to do so. We’ve compiled a list to help readers get started on all those projects, from new gardening techniques and tips to services to help with home improvements to where to buy that perfect accent for the home or garden. Whether you’re looking for a new strategy for how to get the most out of your garden space or just searching for a different approach to gardening, look no further than the

feature on a revolutionary new way to plant herbs, vegetables and flowers, conceived by a San Diego local. If it’s major renovations you’re planning for, check out our section on landscape architects, interior designers and construction. Perhaps you don’t need to tear down walls or build new ones to upgrade your space, but you’re looking for that little something special that will freshen your home. Check out our section on home décor and gifts for accents that can make a room or garden seem new. Whatever you do to renew your space this spring, remember to support your local businesses. It will put some spring in their step and yours!

Point Loma Garden Walk brings spring to the Peninsula eaturing self-guided tours of private residential gardens, the Point Loma Garden Walk — hosted each year by the Dana Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary — gives guests an glimpse of unique Point Loma and Ocean Beach gardens that seem ripped from the pages of a magazine. On April 27, visitors will see water falls, outdoor rooms, and whimsical and remarkable gardening enhancements on the tour’s 12th annual installment. The focus this year is on gardens designed and tended by homeowners. Participants will have the chance to walk through and view the gardens at their leisure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with water and portable toilets available along the route. In addition to the tour, guests can visit the garden boutique, where local artisans will offer for sale their unique creations — everything from garden furniture and outdoor accessories to birdhouses and potting benches made from salvaged wood and more — for sale. For those looking to be pampered, the Dana Diamond Tour is once again available, during which guests will be personally shuttled from home to home for private tours of the gardens. Diamond Tour participants will also receive a specialty gift bag and a gourmet lunch served in a garden that is not

included on the regular tour. Proceeds from the Garden Walk benefit Craniofacial Services at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego, the area’s only hospital dedicated solely to pediatrics. Craniofacial Services treats complex disorders of the face and skull, including cleft lip and palate. The event is sponsored by local businesses and private donations, and this year’s sponsors include Brierton, Jones & Jones, LLP; Optimist Club of Point Loma; Point Loma Rotary; and Jerilyn Satterfield Jones. Advertisers include ARC Ergonomics, Inc.; The Gourmet Bagger; Green Office Plant Service; Davis Seiley Wealth Management; Mailboxes Express; Ocean Beach Antique District; Pacific Sotheby’s International Real Estate; Carolyn Yarbrough, Pacific Sotheby's International Real Estate; L B Powers & Son Plumbing Co. Inc.; San Diego Home/Garden Magazine; Bill & Marti Klees - Seaport Realtors; University Mechanical & Engineering Contractors, Inc.; San Diego Master Gardeners Association; Point Loma Rotary; Mission Hills Nursery; and Kathleen Hare, Windemere Real Estate. Tickets to the garden tour are $25 per person for the regular tour and $150 for the Dana Diamond Tour, and are available online at pointlomagardenwalk.com. Tickets are also on sale at the following locations: ¥ Ace Hardware Liberty Station, 2750 Dewey Road, Suite 103, (619) 326-0827 ¥ Armstrong Garden Centers, 1350 W.

Gardening one foot at a time When Mel Bartholomew retired from his career as a consulting civil engineer in 1975, he decided to take up gardening in his free time. As he worked to till and fertilize the soil in long rows, only to plant seeds in a relatively small area of the plot, he wondered what the logic behind the system was. “I’m not a trained horticulturalist,” Bartholomew said. “But I wondered if there was a way we could do this better.” Bartholomew started devising a new system for space-efficient planting a growing, and came up with the phenomenon known as Square Foot Gardening. Essentially a garden in a box, the practice calls for a 4-foot-by4-foot box, divided into 16 square-foot plots. Each plot can contain a different crop, with seeds planted in groups of 1, 4, 9 or 16, depending on mature plant size. The technique was particularly useful in Utah, where Bartholomew lived when he started Square Foot Gar-

dening. The local soil made growing difficult, and Square Foot Gardening allowed for the use of perfect soil while not limiting gardeners to small pots. It also brought gardening back to those who had to give it up due to limited mobility: gardeners who had trouble working the soil on their knees could now easily reach a gardening box raised to hip level. Bartholomew, who now lives in La Jolla, has been bringing his gardening phenomenon — for which he has published his best-selling book, “All New Square Foot Gardening” — to the rest of the world, hoping to help end world hunger by giving disenfranchised communities the means to grow their own food with his Square Foot Gardening Foundation. For those looking to grow their own Square Foot Garden, check out Bartholomew’s website, www.squarefootgardening.org for tips and tricks on getting started.
