Familiar blueprint for OB entryway sign will be back BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON
vote against all six budgets. “We all got the message from the 2012 election that the point is to solve problems,” Peters said. “We don’t want to fight last year’s battles. We want (the congressional leadership) to sit down and come up with a budget that really makes compromises and provides a balanced approach to getting our longterm budget under control.” The result? Thirty freshmen joined Peters in voting no — but not one was
There must be something special about that soaring seagull and that great big red letter “O” which, like much of the community of Ocean Beach, leans to the left. The results of a long-awaited election are in, and it turns out few could bear the thought of revamping, renewing or updating in any way the blueprint of the entryway sign that greets southbound traffic heading into Ocean Beach on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. After nearly a year of discussion, eligible members of the Ocean Beach Town Council have overwhelmingly decided to stay with the familiar, and keep the sign just the way it is. Nearly 58 percent of voters preferred the design that has been in place since the Town Council put the sign up in 1984. That’s more than three times the support of the option that came in second, a design virtually identical but for the addition of two parrots. In all, 76 voters — roughly 52 percent of those eligible — spread their votes among the five designs in an email election held April 1-8. To be eligible, voters were required to have their $20 annual dues paid up as of March 30 and live in the 92107 ZIP code. Results were released at the Town Council’s monthly meeting April 24. After nearly three decades of relentless sun, ocean air, termites and rot, the sign has not aged gracefully. A decision was made last year to replace it, and a request for help from the community generated 20 designs. By year’s end, that total was whittled down to four, plus the original design. The five finalists were posted on the Town Council’s website for several months before being taken down last week. “I think having the designs available on our website for several months gave everyone in Ocean Beach the opportunity to review and comment on their preferences,” said Town Council president Dave Martin in an email. “It also served to offer guidance to our members in voting for the most popular option. It was overwhelmingly obvious the most folks wished to maintain OB’s identity as it is.” To generate interest in the vote, the sign was covered up with a tarp containing a red question mark and the Town Council web address. The tactic worked. In March, membership enjoyed its largest-ever one-month spike.

A life’s journey
Award-winning author Lois Joy Hofmann, a Pacific Beach local, has been making the rounds of bookstores and coffee shops promoting the latest book in her nautical trilogy. Hoffmann and her husband, Günter, escaped the corporate world — where Hoffmann sat at the top of the corporate ladder as the CEO of a publicly traded biomedical company — for a life on the high seas after they turned 60 years old, embarking on a
sailing trip that would change their lives. After sailing around the world during an eight-year adventure, Hofmann began to write her nautical trilogy, “In Search of Adventure and Moments of Bliss.” Her first two books, “Maiden Voyage” and “Sailing the South Pacific,” are available on Amazon and locally at Seabreeze Books, Traveler’s Depot and Upstart Crow Bookstore and Coffee House. Earlier this month, Hofmann spoke at the
Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library. She continues her spring author tour with a presentation and book signing at Upstart Crow Bookstore and Coffee House in Seaport Village on Thursday, May 2 at 7 p.m., and at the Point Loma West Marine store at 1250 Rosecrans St. on Friday, May 10 from 2 to 4 p.m. Hofmann’s presentation, “Come Away with us to the Islands,” is a South
Lois Joy and Günter Hoffmann sailed around the world over the course of eight years and 62 countries. The graphic shows the couple’s path, starting with the pink line, denoting the first voyage from France to San Diego (covered in the first book, “Maiden Voyage”). The green line shows voyages two and three, sailing from San Diego to the Marquesas Islands, through all the rest of the South Sea islands to Australia, (covered in “Sailing the South Pacific”), and the blue line follows the final trips from Australia back to the same dock in Canet, France where it all began (which will be covered in the third book, to be titled “The Long Way Back.”

Scott Peters enjoys early successes, frustrations in Congress BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON The way he tells it, Democratic freshman Congressman Scott Peters has tried to do all the right things to address the partisan rancor he railed against last year as a candidate to represent the 52nd Congressional District, which includes the Midway District, the beaches and the Peninsula. He joined the House United Solutions Caucus, a bipartisan group of 28 freshmen that purports to focus on longterm solutions and building relation-

ships between parties. He aligned himself with No Labels, a social-welfare advocacy organization that supports filibuster reform and making Congress work in a more business-like, responsive manner. He said he’s been spending time getting to know his colleagues across the aisle, and even took a Republican “date” — Tim Griffin of Arkansas — to this year’s State of the Union address. And yet, less than four months into the job, Peters has already had a low point — a moment he described as
“exasperation,” to a few dozen who attended a Town Hall gathering April 27 at the Point Loma Masonic Lodge. Earlier this month when the House was deliberating the six different budgets on SCOTT PETERS the floor, Peters said he realized not one of the options had any bipartisan support. To send a message, he rallied his fellow freshmen to

Locals set to celebrate San Diego’s treasured lifeblood during River Days BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON For a decade, San Diego has paid homage to its liquid lifeblood, the San Diego River, through annual San Diego River Days events each spring. This year, San Diego River Days is back with free events along the length of the river from Santa Ysabel on the upper end to Ocean Beach at the lower end in an event for the entire family to enjoy. From May 11-12 and May 18-19, the San Diego River Park Foundation and its network of partners will host more than 40 family-friendly activities, including hikes, bike rides, garden tours, rehabilitation projects and kids activities to engage families in service projects and to educate them about the river that flows all the way to the Pacific Ocean via Ocean Beach. Activities around the mouth of the San Diego River: • Rare habitat restoration at the river mouth Join the San Diego River Park Foundation, Friends of the River Mouth and SDG&E as the groups work to help restore the rare habitat at the river mouth. Volunteers will build and paint access control posts, paint educational signage about endangered native species, remove invasive plants and create a lookout for a world-renowned birdwatching area. Participants are urged to meet at the Dog Beach parking lot on May 11 at 9 a.m. • Open house at the river mouth Explore one of the few remaining coastal wetlands and its fascinating flora and fauna.

Point Loma High 2010 graduate Will Barton, shot several times last fall by a criminal during an extended crime spree, has moved home after months of care at area hospitals and physical-therapy facilities. Barton, son of Will Barton and Marie Najera, was assaulted in the early morning hours of Oct. 29 as he walked home in the Balboa Park area after completing his late-night shift at a Hillcrest-area restaurant. “We are pleased to announce William is home,” said an online journal written by a parent earlier this month. The journal said Barton’s bathroom has been newly renovated to assist him. Home for the recovering young man is on First Avenue in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego. Now, his parents are seeking help with his in-home therapy. According to a Craigslist ad placed last weekend, Barton’s parents are seeking a caring person, hopefully with knowledge of therapy techniques, to help them care for him on a part-time basis while he continues to recover from brain injuries suffered in the attack.

QUICKHITS Alleged OB rapist charged with new count Based on DNA evidence, new charges involving another victim have been filed against a man charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman in Ocean Beach. Bail was increased from $300,000 to $1.5 million for Richard Christopher Butts, 25, who pleaded not guilty to all charges on April 17. A June 28 preliminary hearing has been set in San Diego Superior Court. DNA evidence found at the March 24 sexual assault in Ocean Beach also allegedly matches DNA evidence left in an Aug. 25 rape against another woman. Butts is now charged with kidnapping both women with the intent to commit sexual assault. Two kidnapping counts carry a life term that includes parole, according to court records. He is charged with a total of eight felonies. The victim in Ocean Beach was walking on Long Branch Avenue around 10:15 p.m. when a man grabbed her and attacked her. The woman screamed and neighbors called police. Butts was arrested by police near Robb Field. — Neal Putnam
Bronze lifeguard statue garners funding The city has donated $20,000 toward the construction of a 6-foot-3-inch bronze memorial tribute to lifeguards in Ocean Beach following an April 16 vote by the City Council. District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer donated $15,000 of his district funds and District 6 City Council-
woman Lorie Zapf donated $5,000 from her office. With Faulconer’s motion, the council voted 7-0 to donate the funds to the project. The lifeguard memorial will be constructed in front of the Ocean Beach lifeguard station at 1950 Abbott St. Most of the donations so far have been privately based. The memorial notes the 1918 tragic drowning deaths of 13 World War I soldiers from Camp Kearny who were swimming in the ocean. There were no lifeguards at the time. This event gave rise to the establishment of a professional lifeguard service in the city. The sculpture in Ocean Beach is expected to enhance the public space and provide a historical and cultural asset to the community. — Neal Putnam

NEWS Peninsula stop-sign issue to come to head for planners BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON
vote in favor of it and it’ll go to the city,” Nystrom said. However, “If those folks cannot come to an agreement, they’re all in warring camps and want to call each other names, all we do is turn it over to the city and say there isn’t any consensus,” he said. At issue are five stop signs on Jennings Street between Albion Street and Silvergate Avenue, a short stretch that has provoked concerns about hazardous curves and dangerous speeds. Until recently, there were two yield signs and two stop signs. This is where story turns into a bit of a spy novel. Someone — under cover of night, presumably — unbolted the two yield signs and replaced them with stop signs. It’s apparently easier than one might think— a Beacon reporter found very realistic-looking signs with impressive descriptions on eBay for $25. No one ever took credit for the covert actions, confirmed Gary Pence, city senior traffic engineer. After the fact in January, in response to a request from a citizen who had gathered petitions, the planners voted to support the conversion of the yield signs and update the surrounding signage to accommodate the change, according to minutes of the meeting.
Once a planning board makes a request for nonstandard signage, it goes to that board’s City Council representative, who may then give the request a stamp of approval by sending a memo to the mayor, Pence said. But the city implemented the request by adding the fifth stop sign on Jennings, and a group of neighbors formed to oppose the changes. “We have not been able to accomplish anything since,” Nystrom said. If the neighbors don’t agree, Nystrom said he expects the city to remove the changes and restore standard configuration. In other planning group news Board members elected the following officers for the next year: Julia Quinn, chairwoman; Mike Ryan, vice chairman; Patricia Clark, treasurer; and Nicole Burgess, secretary. May 7 is the last day to comment on a draft environmental document for the replacement of a pier and wharf at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography’s Nimitz Marine Facility near the tip of Point Loma, said city planner Tony Kempton. A copy of the plan is available at physicalplanning.ucsd.-edu/e nv i r o n m e n t a l / M a rFac/MarFac_EA_04.03.13.pdf or the Point Loma/Hervey Branch Library.

Are the stop signs along a one-block section of Jennings Street in Wooded Area excessive or just right? It’s become the hottest issue in the neighborhood, and may well draw a full house when the Peninsula Community Planning Board hosts a discussion May 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Point Loma/Hervey Branch Library, 3701 Voltaire St. But if Pete Nystrom has his way, it’s going to be a discussion that’s short and to the point. He’s served notice to all involved: come with an agreement, or don’t bother at all. Nystrom chairs the board’s Traffic and Transportation Committee, which can help a neighborhood get stop signs, speed bumps and the like — even if the city says such a measure isn’t warranted by engineering studies. But Nystrom has made it clear to the opposing factions: the board is in no position to choose among alternatives. It’ll only put its weight behind a unified proposal of what the neighborhood wants. “There’s no reason the board should sit there for half an hour while the neighbors argue. If they come in and say, ‘We’ve talked about it and here’s what we want,’ I think the board will

Now that a design has been selected, the hard part begins in terms of raising the estimated $10,000 to construct and install it. That is triple what it cost to install the old sign, said Jim Musgrove, who chairs the council’s Community Enhancement Committee. The last sign was about 80 percent funded by private donations, Musgrove said. District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer and District 4 County Supervisor Ron Roberts have also expressed interest in locating funds. Musgrove suggested one idea that may remind some of the Berlin Wall: sell off pieces of the old sign as souvenirs. The project has already benefited from this bit of good news. The upright posts holding the sign are in good shape. Not only does that save money — replacing the posts would have triggered a requirement to reapply for permits, Musgrove said.

a Republican. His take-away? Fighting the good fight is the right way to go, he said, but it’s not going to be easy. “We’re having trouble getting our Republican colleagues to pull away from their fear of the Tea Party,” Peters said. “I can deal with Republicans. I can’t deal with extremists.” As a result, the budget process is at a standstill and, to date, Republican House Speaker John Boehner hasn’t appointed anyone to negotiate with the Senate to reach an agreement, Peters said. “It’s been so locked up by politics. What we need is someone who’s willing to take a bipartisan approach, a problem-solving approach,” Peters said. To that end, Peters said he refuses to take the Grayson-Takano pledge to oppose “every cut to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits.” He also took heat from several audience members for his position that means testing for those programs should be on the table. “It is a priority of mine to save Social Security and Medicare for those who need it. But would I pledge never to change it? I think signing pledges is not the way to create a debate,” Peters said. He’s also “not a big fan” of using the chained consumer price index to calculate cost-of-living increases in entitlement programs, “but President Obama bringing it up as a way to meet Republicans in the middle — I commend him for that,” Peters said. Peters was enthusiastic about his committee assignments and expressed hope for protecting investments in basic research and fighting climate change. He said his seat on the Science, Space
5
and Technology Committee will help support research clusters in San Diego. “That’s not just important for San Diego, it’s important for America,” he said. As chairman of the Climate Task Force of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition, Peters said he’ll pursue measures that can reduce short-term greenhouse gases like methane — steps that won’t provoke politically charged debates involving energy use. One example might be regulating natural gas wells and fracking to reduce methane leaks, he said. Peters said he doesn’t dispute the reality of man-made climate change. “Even if there were uncertainty, it pays to be prudent, like your mom told you. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst,” he said. In response to a question, Peters described himself as “not a fan” of the Keystone pipeline, but added the debate is somewhat “overhyped on both sides.” Other questions from the audience ran the gamut. One citizen asked Peters to defend his stand on the unsuccessful Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, in which Peters split from privacy-rights advocates and joined House Republicans in supporting. Another asked Peters about his relationship with Bob Filner, who became San Diego mayor with Peters’ endorsement. “I would suggest he get out of his own way and let things happen. There are a lot of other people who can lead his efforts,” he said. Nevertheless, he said he admires Filner’s courage and continues to support him. “He can be cantankerous. But one thing about Bob — you never have to guess what he’s thinking,” Peters said.

BY NICOLE SOURS LARSON | THE BEACON Many people who swim only by keeping their faces above the water have a problematical relationship with the water, swim instructor Kim Shults discovered. Some, like me, have had traumatic water-related incidents that affect their ability to feel comfortable swimming. That, plus her concern for drowning prevention and water safety, is one reason Shults started her “40 for 40” Face in Water Project to mark her 40th birthday. The former Ocean Beach resident was a 12-year veteran ESL (English as a second language) instructor in the San Diego schools when she received her annual layoff notice last year. She decided that was one too many layoff notices, and opted not to return to public education — at least now — but to refocus on her first love, teaching swimming. She determined to use her birthday as a catalyst to examine what she wanted to do in next in life. “I felt I was supposed to have a greater effect on people than I was and make a noticeable difference in people’s lives,” she said. A passionate swimmer since childhood and a swim instructor for 22 years, Shults is happiest in the water. She resolved to honor her birthday by giving 40 people of varied ages and backgrounds a one-hour swimming lesson, teaching breathing techniques and helping them overcome any reluctance to put their faces in the water. “My intention was to change people’s relationship with the water. It’s a challenge for me to do it in an hour,” she said. For her project, Shults is using The Plunge, Mission Beach’s historic, heated indoor pool, part of the Wave House Athletic Club, now being upgraded under new management. The pool at The Plunge is maintained at about 84 degrees, ideal for swimming.

I was Shults’ sixth project participant and her first adult. I had long wanted to learn to swim properly, since I had never learned how to breathe while swimming. I had met Shults at The Plunge while I was “water-walking” with friends and she was teaching charming 3-yearold twins. I was impressed with her easy manner and encouraging approach toward teaching. Afterward, in the locker room, I asked if she taught adults, too. She explained her project. It was only when I explained that I didn’t submerge my face because I didn’t know how to breathe that I realized I had had three separate neardrowning incidents by age 6. The last of these was during my final swimming class. None of these affected my love of the water, but they left me a poor swimmer. I went for my lesson with Shults with great excitement, but minimal expectations. Could she really teach me how to breathe and swim properly in just an hour? Yes, indeed, she could — and did. For me, it was the most liberating experience. I flew through the pool, especially when she fitted me with fins. I felt as if she had given me back the joy and exhilaration I experienced in the water as a child, but had lost as an adult.
Now, following my water-walking sessions, I return to the pool to practice my breathing and swimming techniques, each time increasing my number of laps. I’ve continued lessons, learning backstroke and refining my freestyle. Most important, I feel more confident and safer in the water. My experience is not unique. Through her project, Shults has already taught infants and mature adults, including several who had never swam before, the basics of swimming and breathing. “I decided to do this project for myself. It’s very selfish. I love seeing the looks on people’s faces when they do something they didn’t think they could ever do. I look at them and know they can do it. I get to spend that time with them pushing them to a level they never thought was possible,” she said. Shults is looking for a few more people, particularly adults, who want to change their relationship with the water and learn or improve their swimming. If you would like to participate, visit www.faceinwater.org, or email kim@faceinwater.org, explaining your story and interest in swimming. It’s never too early or late to learn how to swim.

Thirteen Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) units from local high schools gathered at Point Loma High School on a recent Saturday morning in an annual competition of organization, performance and physical prowess. This year’s event marked the first time PLHS has hosted the event. For the physical challenge, each school sent a 10-person team consisting of five male and five female cadets. Events included push-ups, sit-ups, a 5-by-400-meter relay race and distance throw. Points were awarded based on each team’s production, with a grand total at meet’s end determining the champions. Judges using military standards determine each cadet’s repetitions were correct. For males, San Diego High took firstplace honors, with Serra High second and Lincoln High placing third. On the female side, Scripps Ranch High won, followed by San Diego and Serra Highs. San Diego was named overall winner. Other participating high schools were Hoover, Kearny, Morse, Madison, Crawford, Henry, Mira Mesa and University City. The Cadet Challenge is one in a series

of competitions between units for the year-ending Stilwell Trophy, which includes best drilled first-, second-, third- and fourth-year units, varsity and first-year color guards. San Diego High leads with 185 points. Point Loma stands seventh with 107 points. At an earlier “Brain Brawl” academ-
ic event, Point Loma took third place. Instructors with the Point Loma High NJROTC program are Capt. Tom Cunningham and Jeff Feehley. Interested parents and students can find out information about the NJROTC program from Cunningham at tcunningham@sandi.net.

THURSDAY · MAY 2, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON
Point Loma edges LJHS in big-league venue BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON For Point Loma High’s baseball team, a day in Petco Park was very likely the season highlight. The Pointers turned a superb pitching performance by senior Josh Azar into a 1-0 victory over Western League opponent La Jolla High at the downtown home of the San Diego Padres. Azar limited the Vikings to two hits during his complete-game victory, striking out seven to pick up the victory. He savored his accomplishment. “The whole experience was incredible,” Azar said. “The mound was the best I‘ve ever seen. That was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone on our team. It was incredible to get the win out of it and represent Point Loma.” Pointer bats have struggled all season, and the victors recorded four hits at Petco in front of a large contingent of cheering supporters who took advantage of the 1 p.m. start time. Two of those hits went to junior second baseman Cameron Yackly, hitting in the leadoff spot. His .316 batting average leads the team. The other two hits were by junior starting catcher Chance Jimenez, his second-inning single driving sophomore center fielder Cole Lemmel, who had

I got the chance at Petco some feeling, the best I’ve ever had,” Jimenez said. The play of the game came when senior third baseman Justin Baker chased a Viking pop-up at full speed into foul territory toward home plate before making a sliding catch worthy of ESPN highlights. Pointer outfielders Lemmel, junior Jordan Goulet and senior Kye Miranda all ran down several La Jolla drives, some hit into the gaps.
GAME NOTES A total of eight prep games were played at Petco while the Padres were being swept in San Francisco. Participating teams were given a lengthy list of “Don’ts” while on the pristine stadium turf and monitored by groundskeepers during the games. Pointer coaches made sure every senior on the team saw playing time The game was actually “neutral” in league standings. The two teams played again last week, the Vikings winning 3-2 at home with a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh inning. On the season, the Pointers are 9-10 overall, 4-3 (third place) in Western League. The Pointers wrap up their league season with home games against La Jolla on April 30, Mission Bay on May 2 and Madison on May 16. Away games are at Mission Bay on May 6 and Madison on May 14. All are 3:30 p.m. starts.

PLHS sailors setting sail for another title BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON After again ruling the west, Point Loma High School’s renowned sailing team is heading east next month to again establish itself the best in the United States. The Pointers will try to head home with the Mallory Cup national championship when they travel to Chicago for the May 11-12 event to be sailed on Lake Michigan. Also earning the right to represent the Pacific Coast Interscholastic Sailing Association (PCISA) region are Cathedral Catholic, Corona del Mar, Newport Harbor and Dos Pueblos High Schools — all from California. The Pointers count five Mallory Cup victories in the series that dates to 1930. Point Loma’s first victory was in 1993, followed by titles in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2012. In the PCISA’s final regatta of the season, the Pointers traveled north, facing extremely challenging conditions, yet winning once more. This time, it was the Pointers’ junior varsity boat that sailed to victory in the Gold Division of the 2013 Gaucho Regatta held last month off Santa Barbara. Aboard the winning Gaucho Regatta boat were juniors Will Ladow, Trevor Hecht, sophomore Jennifer Johnson and freshman Megan Landsdale. All were singled out by the race committee for “uncanny ability to play huge shifts and read what was coming next” as light winds shifted more than 30 degrees.

Baseball streak extends to 8 The PLNU baseball team earned its first-ever four-game sweep of a PacWest opponent as it took all four games at home from Fresno Pacific. The Sea Lions then went on the road the next weekend and swept Holy Names in the Bay Area. The eight straight wins for PLNU guaranteed that the Sea Lions (25-21, 21-11 PacWest) will finish the year with at least a .500 record. The winning streak also pushed Point Loma from a tie for fifth place in the conference standings into sole possession of third place, just two games back of second place Cal Baptist. The .500 record also means that the Sea Lions are now eligible for the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) regional playoffs, which will start May 9. PLNU hosts Special Olympics for 20th consecutive year Point Loma Nazarene University hosted a Special Olympics regional event for the 20th consecutive year on April 6. Point Loma welcomed numerous Special Olympic athletes to compete in track and field. The Special Olympic athletes competed in events ranging from the standing long jump to the shot put and the 400m dash. The Special Olympics event was sponsored by the Family and Consumer Sciences and the Department of Education at PLNU, but it is the student leadership that annually drives the event according to Jim Johnson, event director and instructor in the Department of Education. “The secret is we have a student leadership team that does everything for the event and which we are progressively building on for the next year,” said Johnson. ”I’m basically a facilitator and give my signature where I need to, but it is the student leadership team that does everything. They handle publicity, they gather donations, they set up the website and they coordinate the volunteers. All of it is done by students here at Point Loma.” There was also members of the volleyball team, basketball team and cheer squads in attendance. “The Special Olympic athletes just love the student-athletes from Point Loma,” said Johnson. “They are talking to them about pumping iron, saying ‘I have five medals. How many do you have?’ It is a dynamic relationship and it is very cool.”

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN FIESTA DE REYES HOSTS FOURTH-ANNUAL FOLKLORIC COMPETITION IN OLD TOWN - Preliminary Rounds Hit the Stage on April 27 and 28; Finale on May 4. Dance groups from throughout Southern California will meet and compete during the Fiesta de Reyes Folklórico Competition at the annual three-day event during the last weekend of April and the first Saturday in May. Folklórico is a traditional Latin American dance that emphasizes local folk culture with ballet characteristics. In addition to the folklórico entertainment, all three days of the competition will be hosted by Univision’s Gabriel Sotelo. “This is one of our favorite events of the entire year to produce and sponsor,” said Chuck Ross, the owner and operator of Fiesta de Reyes. “The energy that the
dancers bring to the stage will be sure to impress the entire family and will feature the vibrant color and culture of this traditional dance.” On Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the children and adult groups will each have 25 minutes to perform their best dances, representing many different regional styles of ballet folklórico. One finalist from the children’s groups and two finalists from the adult groups will be selected to advance to the finals. A week later, on Saturday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to noon, the six finalists will return to the state park during the Cinco de Mayo celebration weekend to compete for the folklórico competition title and cash prizes. The competition is free for the public to attend and
will take place in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. There is free parking available all day on the weekends in the Caltrans parking lot on Taylor Street, just two blocks from Fiesta de Reyes. For more information, visit www.fiestadereyes.com.

“Death ain’t nuthin’ but a fastball on the outside corner of the plate,” blustered character Troy Maxson in playwright August Wilson’s “Fences” on stage. Maxson had already seen enough of them to know. Baseball was his life and his world even during his 15-year stint in prison on a murder and robbery rap. In fact, he would return to become a Negro League homerun king following his release in the 1950s. But the era’s demon racism would rear its ghastly head, denying Maxson a coveted shot at the majors. Death, it seems, also conspires off the field, claiming him by show’s end. “Fences,” mounted by San Diego’s Cygnet Theatre Company in 2008, featured Ocean Beach actor Antonio “TJ” Johnson, playing Maxson in one of the most spectacular performances in recent local memory. Johnson’s turn at the role was all the more remarkable because he was battling a pesky case of pneumonia during the latter half of the run. Herbs and vitamins were de rigueur backstage as the cast propped up its remarkable leading man. That’s one of a litany of stories that dot Johnson’s 30-year career in San Diego theater. For the award-winning actor, coach, founding artistic director, lecturer, post-doctoral graduate of the esteemed Hard Knocks University, tireless advocate for Wilson and Shakespeare, the glow from his reviews threatening to set his house on fire. His résumé reads like that of a veteran New York stage performer. And right now, that’s especially appropriate. On June 5, Johnson will travel 5,000 miles northeast and make a sharp left at Manhattan’s Columbus Circle, trading a fairly predictable theater climate for the toughest and most competitive

in the nation. Monday, May 6, marks Johnson’s public sendoff. He’ll play legendary singer-actor Paul Robeson at The Ocean Beach Playhouse and Center for the Arts in a staged reading of Ed Schmidt’s “Mr. Rickey Calls a Meeting,” in which Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey outlines his plan to call the great Jackie Robinson up from the minors. The playhouse is located at 4944 Newport Ave. More information is available at (619) 222-0836. A reception follows at Cheswick’s West tavern, 5038 Newport Ave. From there, Johnson will set up shop in Brooklyn with only a TV, a microwave and memories of a recent audition with
La Jolla Playhouse. The latter experience in Ocean Beach jump-started his search for new horizons. Clearly, Johnson’s primary residence is the stage, and he lives and breathes theater for the desperately personal experience it is. “I find myself going in a circle [in San Diego],” Johnson said. “I do this thing and then I’ll do a little part, and I’ll sing some songs, I’ll do lectures. I seem to always be busy. And I seem to always be involved in everything, and that’s good. I live two blocks from the ocean, and that’s wonderful. But after that audition, I saw my future, and I just don’t want to see it end here. I still want to be excited SEE TJ, Page 17
National Comedy Theatre expands to Liberty Station BY ETHAN ORENSTEIN | THE BEACON To make space for a growing demand for its popular improvisational workshops, the National Comedy Theatre has expanded to 2590 Truxton Road in Liberty Station. As it continues into its 14th season, artistic director Gary Kramer said he can’t believe how far the show has come. In May, the National Comedy Theatre will become San Diego’s longest-running show. “I didn’t think it would last three years, much less 3,800 shows,” Kramer said. “And it just keeps going. We’re doing six to eight shows a week, and it just keeps going. It just got so big and our classes got so popular that we just had to add the Point Loma stuff to it [in addition to the India Street location in Mission Hills].” The National Comedy Theatre offers improvisational workshops for children, teens and adults. Kids’ and teens’ classes are structured into six Saturday sessions with a private performance for family and friends at the end. “To come in and within six classes to be performing an improvised comedy show without a script is a really amazing thing. And they do it. And they’re great,” Kramer said. “Kids are the fastest-learning improvisers of all.” The adult classes are split into four levels, each one building on the others. Kramer said the adult improvisational workshops are not only helpful for aspiring comedians, but anyone who is look-
ing to improve their speaking skills. “People take the adult classes for all sorts of reasons. They take them to be better salespeople, doctors or lawyers, or speak better, be more comfortable in groups. We do have a lot of actors that take it as well to polish their skills,” Kramer said. “So we have people from all walks of life taking the adult classes.” Kramer said people who are shy or afraid of public speaking really benefit from the classes. “The fact that they signed up for an improv class, that takes guts to begin with,” Kramer said. “Boy, if I was a really super-shy person, that’s the last thing I would sign up for. It’s like being afraid of heights and signing up for a bungeejumping class. But something in them has already gotten them to take the first step, and that’s the biggest step of all, showing up on Day One.” Kramer said the teachers are great at easing people out of their comfort zones to help them succeed. Adults who complete all the classes also get the opportunity to perform in front of family and friends. He said people who are shy at the beginning often own the performance and really surprise their audience. “It’s so cool … they succeed. They always succeed,” Kramer said. “A soldout audience, the theater lights and the stage and the whole thing. It’s great. It’s an amazing moment to watch them have this success. It’s something they’ll remember their whole lives whether or not they go further with it.”
Along with workshops and shows, The National Comedy Theatre also sponsors a high school improvisational league that has been running for more than 10 years. Beginning in January, improv teams practice and compete against other schools. Each team receives monthly coaching from a member of the National Comedy Theatre’s professional cast, and teams compete in a round-robin tournament in May. This year’s tournament will be held on May 4 and 5. The professional cast determines the winner, based on skill, teamwork and approach to each scenario. On May 10, the high school champions will compete against the professional team during the main stage show. Kramer said it’s a really fun show to watch. “We come in pretty tough, you know. It’s our main-stage cast,” he said. “We’re sort of like the bad-guy wrestler.” Winners and losers are determined by the audience, and Kramer said the students always pack the theater with a supportive crowd. The professional cast usually never stands a chance. “I mean they’re high schoolers. We’re the New York Yankees,” Kramer said. “As it turns out, we usually end up being like the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters because we invariably lose that match. I don’t even think we’ve ever won in the last 10 years.” To purchase tickets and sign up for workshops, visit www.nationalcomedy.com.

Taking in the musical range of The Clay Colton Band BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON Few local cover bands are capable of ranging from The Eagles to Rage Against the Machine while also throwing in choice originals. That rare combination is one of the things that makes The Clay Colton Band a standout. Appearing at Humphrey’s Backstage Lounge on May 9, the group includes guitarist and vocalist Colton, as well as drummer BJ Morgan, guitarist Sergio Gutierrez, bassist Andrew Pena, fiddler Paul Castellanos, keyboardist David Winter and harmonica player Joe Doyle. Colton has released three albums to date: “Looking Back Ahead” (2006), “The Irish Sessions” (2012) and “Rustic” (2013). Fans should note he can also be found on the album, “Two Months.” Recorded with friend Matt

about what’s going to happen when I get up in the morning. “It seems like the directors in this town have an idea about me that’s not going to change after 30 years while I’m here,” he said. “So I need to go someplace where people don’t know me and I can change their minds.” Johnson seems physically up to the task. These days, he looks 15 years younger than his stated age of 60. Word is he’s lost close to 70 pounds over the last two years and is keeping his Type II diabetes mostly at bay amid his newfound dedication to bicycling all over the universe.
Bongiovanni, it was released under the name “Bender.” Notably, the indie film “My True Self ” included three of Colton’s songs. Though he is now a well-established musician, Colton’s decision to become a performer was inspired by necessity. “I have been performing regularly for 14 years now. I count my 21st birthday as the starting date,” he said. “I was in the Navy at the time, and ended up penniless on the big 21. Since my birthday fell at the end of the military pay period, none of my friends had enough money to take me out either.” Thinking quick, Colton borrowed a buddy’s guitar and hit the smoking pit of the barracks for an hour. “I sang the few songs I knew over and over for whoever would stroll in for a puff, with a tip jar set up on the table
next to me.” One hour later, he had $46. “So a couple of buddies and I headed out for $2 beer night to make a memo’t take long for me to discover the difference between that hourly rate versus the Navy’s wages, so I was then a performer.” The roots of the Colton Band’s expansive sound go back to his childhood. “My first love for music, besides the Care Bears Christmas album — which was awesome — comes from my mom’s 8-tracks of Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor,” he said. Of other influences, he notes, “My heart always finds its way to Pearl Jam, somehow. But in the last five years, since I turned 30, country music has taken over my senses. Somehow, country became very cool for me. I played Irish
music for years, then converted the mandolin over to bluegrass jams, and now all I’m listening to is stuff like Tim O’Brien, Leftover Salmon, Zac Brown and Old Crow Medicine Show.” While Colton is known for his guitar work and songwriting, he was originally a drummer. Picking up the guitar was almost accidental, he said. “We would always rehearse at my place, so everyone would leave their guitars behind. I would sit around playing them after the guys left. The singing came from being a choir boy and always performing in musicals.” He plays other instruments, though he claims less-than-virtuoso status there. “I have picked up the mandolin over the years to add to the Irish jigs and rustic country feel of the new band, but I
have a lot of learning to do on that thing,” he said. After 14 years, Colton is still happy with his decision to become a performer, particularly when he truly connects with his audience. “I always aim to give the audience members something to take them through one more day, he said. “I believe life is challenging at times and the world needs music to keep its workers inspired. It’s my job to make sure everyone goes back to work on Monday ready to make the world a better place because they had an inspiring, uplifting musical experience that weekend.” • The Clay Colton Band performs at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 9 at Humphreys Backstage Live, 2241 Shelter Island Drive. $5. www.humphreysbackstagelive.com
Nonetheless, Johnson faces a serious statistical row to hoe. Actors’ Equity Association, the national labor union that represents live-theater performers and stage managers, routinely cites 80 percent unemployment among its members. Who knows how much higher the figure might be among non-equity personnel (Johnson doesn’t belong to the union), whose numbers aren’t necessarily tracked. And plenty of other cities like San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle and Johnson’s hometown of Chicago boast arguably more stimulating theater climates than San Diego. What’s the big deal about the Big Apple? Noted director Victor Mack, who helmed Wilson’s “Gem of the Ocean” at Cygnet earlier this season, reportedly
said Johnson is “a true Wilsonian actor,” not just an actor who performs Wilson. “That’s one of the biggest compliments of my career,” Johnson said. The iconic Wilson is the stage’s standard bearer for portrayal of the roily 20th-century black experience — and what better tribute, Johnson said, than to reinvent himself in a city where a theater bears the playwright’s name. Meanwhile, stand-up comedy and work at smaller venues are on Johnson’s agenda, with a much greater goal in mind. “I don’t want to be a ‘black-tor,’” Johnson said. “I want to do [Shakespeare’s] King Lear and [Arthur Miller’s] Willy Loman and I want to be that one-in-amillion who breaks through those jobless numbers. I want to do all of it, and I
still have something to prove.” San Diego theater community seems less-than-prepared to help. “We have become a fragmented community the last 30 years,” Johnson said. “We have the Cygnet community. We have the [Old] Globe community. We have the La Jolla Playhouse community. We also have great people here, and we could be like New York. Can’t we [at least] have the [annual] Craig Noel Awards on TV? Starting a new company, starting classes, I could do all that stuff. I just don’t think the [theater] community will is here as a unit to make it worthwhile. Even with the younger people coming up.” It is true that San Diego-area theatergoers are underserved and probably always will be — but that doesn’t neces-
sarily translate to sub-par shows. MOXIE Theatre’s “A Raisin in the Sun;” Cygnet’s “Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street;” “Metamorphoses,” from Lamb’s Players Theatre; La Jolla Playhouse’s “Beauty,” are a few outstanding examples of local performances over the last many years, and many more will surface sooner than later. But to hear Johnson tell it, a certain stagnation dogs local theater as a whole in the city, forcing his hand to other locales. His departure — or rather, the terms under which he’s leaving — render it that much more inert. — Martin Jones Westlin, a freelance writer for The Beacon, is the former theater editor at San Diego CityBeat and is founding publisher of the theater-film website Words Are Not Enough, now on hiatus.

Moving Mom and Dad to Assisted Living Almost everyone hopes as they grow older that they will be able to spend the rest of their lives in their own home enjoy-
ing the comfort and memories that go along with having a long life. Sometimes parents tell their adult children “I want to stay in this house forever. Promise me you’ll never put me in a home.” This promise can put undue stress on the children when the parent’s good health begins to change. Joan’s parents, John and Anna, had been married more than fifty years and were doing well. Then Anna began having short-term memory loss and then she broke her hip which put her in a rehabilitation facility for three months. Joan was at a loss of what to do when her mother was ready to leave the facility. She contacted Innovative Healthcare Consultants, a Geriatric Care Management company, who met with the entire family. Even though Anna wanted to stay in her home forever, it wasn’t practical as John could not manage the demands of her illness at home. The nurse at Innova-

PLNU awarded for cutting energy costs 17% Glitz of Las Vegas comes to Point for philanthropic affair
Point Loma Nazarene University has received a gift of $51,000 that was used to encourage energy efficiency by retrofitting the central processing plant on campus. Donated by PLNU supporters Steve and PJ Bothwell, the gift will save PLNU energy costs of over 17 percent each year for 10 years, with an overall savings of $171,000. It is the Bothwell’s hope that the gift toward energy efficiencies on PLNU’s campus will encourage other donors to give in this area and allow PLNU to further its already substantial work toward sustainability. PLNU has long been committed to ensuring a sustainable environment. PLNU president Bob Brower was
one of the first presidents in the nation to sign the president’s Climate Commitment, which seeks to take steps to make the campus climate neutral and to fully integrate sustainability into the educational experience. Over the last five years, PLNU has installed a solar photovoltaic system just under one megawatt, with the equivalency of powering 115 San Diego homes per year. The extensive recycling program is consistently recognized by the city as “Recycler of the Year,” and for the last two years, PLNU has been recognized by the Sierra Club as one of the top 100 greenest schools in the nation. PLNU students have taken on the cause as their own, electing to assess
themselves a student green fee used to fund energy efficient projects on campus. Initiatives over the last three years have included installation of a solar thermal heating system on the largest freshman dorm, the exchange of dorm fixtures to low flow efficient equipment and the conversion of campus service vehicles to electric. “PLNU strives to reflect our core values by taking a leadership role in environmental stewardship,” said Brower. “While the financial impact of this gift is substantial in itself, it will be instrumental in encouraging additional gifts toward sustainable initiatives in the future.” — Staff and contribution
Community support needed to spotlight student history academians BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON The end of the school year brings an array of award ceremonies recognizing area students for athletic achievement, club and volunteer services. Point Loma High School remains one of the few schools in Southern California to award its top academic achievers in history. But putting on such a tribute is expensive in an era of deep school budget cuts. For the past seven years, history department teachers have celebrated the accomplishments of their brightest teens with a classy dress-up banquet at Shelter Island’s Bali Hai Restaurant and Resort. This year’s eighth-annual observation is slated for 6 to 8 p.m. on June 5,

but community help is needed. At the event, the brainchild of teacher Patrick McElhaney, each of about 200 students receives a pack that includes a specially created pen and certificate. But McElhaney and his colleagues said they also wish to offer small scholarships of $50 to $100. The Pointer history department is hoping to raise $5,000 for the event, which will keep the cost of the buffet dinner at $22 per person and allow the department to help students, otherwise unable to attend, a chance to experience the unique event. Since the banquet’s inception, local businesses and clubs with historical/political backgrounds have become part of the event. The scholarships they offer to selected achievers are funded by the club.
These offerings are often delivered with verbal jabs at other attending groups with opposing political agendas. The enlightened students join in the laughter that inevitably follows. Total banquet attendance, including parents, teachers, local groups, and special scholarship presenters, hovers around the 500-person mark. McElhaney is hoping community members will rally around his academic stars and support the upcoming event by donating money, sponsoring a specific number of students or donating items for the event raffle. Also needed is someone to cover the cost of the $300 deposit at the Bali Hai Restaurant & Resort. McElhaney can be reached at pmcelhaney@sandi.net.
BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON When lifelong librarian and schoolteacher Lois Merrill was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine cancer, daughters Angela and Kristi wanted to help carry on their mother’s legacy of helping others by doing the same. In 2006, the sisters hosted their first event on behalf of their mother, raising $30,000 to benefit carcinoid cancer research. “She was the inspiration for it,” said Angela Merrill. “She really wanted to make a difference and she didn’t have the capacity to do any of the planning or anything at that stage in her life, so we did this for her.” Shortly after her mother passed away, Merrill founded the nonprofit Lois Merrill Foundation with an aim to carry on her mother’s legacy by helping ease the financial burden for those living with rare cancers around the nation. “She really was a lively, wonderful woman who would do anything for anyone,” she said. “That’s why we think that by benefiting patients directly, that’s the best thing we can do in her memory.” Merrill realized there was a void in types of organizations helping the cancer patient’s quality of life. “There are really three types of organizations out there for carcinoid cancer. One of them provides education — awareness to patients and doctors — the other one provides funding for research. But there’s really no one helping patients,” she

said. “That’s where we really thought we could make the greatest impact.” This year, to help bolster funding for medical expenses, rental payments or transportation costs for those struggling with rare cancers, the Lois Merrill Foundation revived a successful fundraising event on April 27, themed the B3 Affair. The casino-inspired event fused San Diego’s artistic, earthy-style with a hint of Las Vegas glamour. With a unique blend of evening highlights spanning from gaming tables and cocktail attire to local art and craft brews, the B3 Affair struck the perfect balance to make for a vibrant local event for a good cause. “The B3 Affair stands for bid, bet and buy for life. So, you bid on silentauction items, you bet on casino gaming and you buy art from local artists,” said Merrill. Building 32 at Liberty Station was transformed into a lively casino floor with black-tie casino craps, blackjack and roulette tables throughout the venue. Every dollar raised at the event helped pay for the medical bills of rare cancer patients who cannot afford the costs of their care. “Our organization is run strictly by volunteers,” said Merrill. “Nobody gets paid. Every dollar that comes in is used to pay medical bills of those cancer patients. It will be a great evening for a great cause.” For more information about the campaign, visit www.theloismerrillfoundation.org.
