PRIMARY 2014

3 candidates chasing Dist. 2 City Council seat share platforms EDITOR’S NOTE: After the ouster of former Mayor Bob Filner last year and two special elections to determine his successor, voters gave the nod to nowMayor Kevin Faulconer. With Faulconer’s ascension to mayor, his District 2 City Council seat is now up for grabs. A primary election is set for June 3 and will feature four candidates (alphabetically): Sara Boot, Jim Morrison, Mark Schwartz and Lorie Zapf. To better inform our readers about the political views of the candidates, the San Diego

Community Newspaper Group developed a fivepronged interview we posed to the pol i t i cal hopefuls. The following is their response in the candidates’ own words. Note: Morrison submitted no response. SEE PRIMARY, Page 7

BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON In what may have been the narrowest victory in the 84-year history of the event, Point Loma High’s highly regarded sailing team once again captured the Mallory Trophy — and with it another national sailing championship. Sailing at home for once, on a course set up along the downtown Embarcadero with a spectacular city view, the Pointers prevailed in the last of 22 races when their B Division boat crossed the finish line in fifth place, edging out the sixth-place boat from St. George’s School of Rhode Island. The margin of victory: one foot. The fifth-place finish left the Pointers with a score for 22 races of 138 points, the total of all 22 finish orders. St. George finished with 139 points. Hosted by the San Diego Yacht Club May 1112, the event was conducted by the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA), which selects 20 schools from each of seven national districts to compete for the title, based on earlier racing performance.

The Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) this month heard about a new Bikeshare program coming to Liberty Station and debating the merits of a “granny flat” proposed on Granger Street that some fear could lead to more neighborhood rentals. Angela Landsberg of Decobike, a private company which has partnered with the city to bring a short-term, privately financed station-to-station bikerental business to San Diego as early as this summer, gave the PCPB an overview of the project. Users of the program would be able to rent bikes from any individual station and return them to any other station. The program calls for about 180 Bikeshare stations citywide. Under the current plan, all proposed bike stations in Point Loma would be clustered in Liberty Station. “San Diego has contracted with Decobike to bring their project to our city and the rollout date is expected later this summer,” said Landsberg, noting proposed station locations are

being vetted in the affected neighborhoods. “Deco and the city are open to hear advice and good arguments out there from the communities,” she said, urging local residents to submit their own alternative proposed locations for station sites. Asked who would ultimately decide where Bikeshare locations will be placed, Landsberg said the City Council will have to sign off on the individual locations to be selected. In another matter, Mark Perkett, representing the Tobos family, gave a presentation detailing the family’s plans to build a 700-square-foot “granny flat” on its 6,900-square-foot lot at 4451 Granger St. Neighbors, however, questioned the proposal, asking how the city would ensure that the redeveloped property would ultimately be used as a “granny flat” and not as a second rental unit at the site. One neighbor said local residents have had problems previously with colSEE PLANNERS, Page 13

NEWS 4 Bikeshare program peddles ahead; stations ID’d in OB/Point Loma THURSDAY · MAY 22, 2014

THE PENINSULA BEACON

At least one bicycle advocate questions program’s lack of sites to meet greater needs outside of Liberty Station BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

The new Bikeshare program, which is seeking to grow roots across San Diego sometime this summer, is proposing several locations across the Peninsula. At least one bicycling advocate, however, says the plan neglects needs in areas outside Liberty Station and at Shelter Island. Courtesy photo

There are five proposed locations for the new Bikeshare program’s stations in Ocean Beach and eight in Point Loma, but at least one bicycle advocate said she is dismayed to find out the Point Loma locations are all clustered only at Liberty Station. A privately financed network of bike-sharing stations throughout the city will allow short-term rental of bicycles traveling in between solarpowered and automated stations. The new Bikeshare program, expected to be rolled out this summer, will be conducted in phases, with the goal of ultimately providing 180 stations and 1,800 bikes citywide. In Ocean Beach, five Bikeshare stations are proposed: 5059 Newport Ave., Cable Street at the bus stop, Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Newport Avenue, Cable Street and Santa Monica Avenue and at Dog Beach on Spray Street between Brighton Street and Long Branch Avenue.

“The locations in Liberty Station make sense, but there are none in the village of Point Loma or Shelter Island ... If you’re trying to figure out how to make this happen, you need to find ways to make the community more bikable and walkable .” NICOLE BURGESS Bicycle enthusiast and advocate

toric Decatur Road (in front of the barracks), Cushing and Roosevelt roads, Farragut and Cushing roads, Chauncey Road, Truxtun and Womble roads, Truxtun Road and Roosevelt Boulevard and at the Point Loma Nazarene University bus drop-off. Ocean Beach resident Nicole Burgess, secretary of the Peninsula Community Planning Group, a bike enthusiast and active transportation advocate, said Liberty Station is entirely appropriate for Bikeshare, but she said she feels omitting them elsewhere in Point Loma might be a mistake. “The locations in Liberty Station make sense, but there are none in the village of Point Loma or Shelter Island,” Burgess said. If it were up to her, Burgess said she would suggest a Bikeshare station might fit well at the Point Loma/Hervey Branch Library at 3701 Voltaire St. “If you’re trying to figure out how to make this happen, you need to find ways to make the community more bikable and walkable,” Burgess said, noting there’s also a bike path near Famosa Slough. “There’s huge potential in Point Loma Village.” Burgess said she liked three of the five proposed Bikeshare locations in Ocean Beach, but she characterized the one proposed on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard as “a huge danger.” “Why are we putting bike stations on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard when we have Bacon Street as a bike boulevard?” Burgess asked. “They should put their bikeshares on those.” Despite issues involved with vetting the various proposed Bikeshare locations, Burgess noted it’s a move in the right direction in promoting alternative transportation. “Bikeshare is a huge steppingstone,” she said. “It’s a great piece of the whole puzzle.” Burgess said two other positive things about the new Bikeshare program are that you don’t have to own your own bicycle to use it, and that it’s membership-driven. Burgess warned about proposed Bikeshare locations being placed too far afield, noting the objective should be to lay down an infrastructure network in the city’s core that makes sense and that people will use. “If you have 180 downtown branches, then the Peninsula should be in your circle, but not up here in La Jolla,” she said. Burgess said she felt summer rollout of the Bikeshare program might be ambitious, given all the various proposed stations that need to be vetted within their neighborhoods. Fall, after the busy summer tourist season, also might be a less troublesome time to implement the new program, she said.

OBMA partners with Intrepid for more responsive, accessible website BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The much-anticipated Ocean Beach MainStreet Association’s (OBMA) retooled website is up an running, courtesy of webmaster Intrepid Network Multimedia Services & Business Solutions. “We’re still updating some things, but for the most part it’s live,” said Denny Knox, executive director of OBMA, the community’s Business Improvement District (BID). “It was completely redesigned with the help of about 20 people on our Promotions Committee,” she said. Knox credited the job done by Josh

Utley, Intrepid’s president/CEO, for successfully redeveloping the BID’s website making it truly cutting-edge. “Josh did a phenomenal job, really put his heart and soul into this one,” she said, adding the website is not only more responsive but more accessible now. It’s designed to respond to phones, tablets, laptops, whatever, It’s also designed to be readable no matter what device you’re using. We’re super-pleased with it.” Noting Intrepid designed OBMA’s website back in 2009, Utley said the redesign involved upgrading its content management to improve search engine placement.

Utley said his recent work on the OBMA website is an example of “responsive design,” in that the website is now configured to “respond to any size screen no matter the device.” “Whether you’re using an iPad, a laptop, a tablet or a phone, you will be able to view it (website),” he said. “It’s an improved user experience so people can quickly find what they’re looking for.” Utley has been doing analytics on the OBMA site since he created it. He’s uncovered some surprising facts during that time. “A total of 75 percent of the people who visit the OBMA website have never been to it before,” Utley said. “They’re

usually looking for a restaurant or more information on an event or just checking on what there is to do in OB.” The web designer said there’s typically a three- to ten-second window available to engage a visitor to the website to try and capture their interest. One of the more popular items on OBMA’s website is Dog Beach, said Utley. “It’s always in the top five (hits),” he said, adding that will trigger adding more information to that page, like relevant advertisers (such as dog washes or lodging) near the popular beach visitor site. Web users these days are increasingly becoming less patient, said Utley, who

added its becoming more challenging to find ways to draw — and maintain — the interest of web surfers. “You need to make your website more robust, feature-heavy with things like a slideshow and responsive design,” Utley said. He said adding search engine optimization is always key and that website design is “a lot more involved than people realize. “If you don’t update your content, it becomes stagnant,” he said. Fine-tuning is always required to “ensure images are high quality.” Visit OBMA’s website at www.oceanbeachsandiego.com.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Forging a plan to improve City Council District 2’s neighborhoods COUNCIL CORNER By City Councilman Ed Harris On April 7, 2014, I was sworn in as the interim City Councilmember for District 2 to serve the remaining eight months of Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s council term. I was one of 17 individuals considered by the City Council for this appointment, and I am honored and humbled having been selected. For the past 25 years, I have served as a city of San Diego lifeguard. As a lifeguard, I’m an observer and a listener. My eyes are constantly scanning the beach and the water, and it’s the beachgoers who tell me what’s going on which often informs my actions. I’m taking this listening approach to my new job at City Hall.

Since last month, I’ve been meeting with constituents to hear what’s on their minds, what’s working well in their neighborhoods and what isn’t. I’ve been ED HARRIS hearing a lot and learning a lot. Many residents in the Morena District need height limitations on new development to help combat density issues. Midway District business owners need additional support to address homeless issues. Parents walking their kids to school need increased pedestrian safeguards. Point Lomans need representation regarding airplane issues. Bike commuters need road improvements to

ensure their safety. What can I accomplish in eight short months? Well, it’s my hope to take a page from City Council President Todd Gloria, who stepped in as interim mayor last fall and accomplished so much in just 184 days. From now until December, my focus will be on increased public safety, infrastructure improvements and maintaining neighborhood character. I have been appointed to serve on four of the city’s seven committees: Audit; Environment; Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods; and Economic Development and Intergovernmental Relations. I look forward to working with my council colleagues in shaping policy that protects our way of life in San Diego and provides the city a greater return on investment for each taxpayer dollar

The Pacific Arts Movement — based at Liberty Station — launched the San Diego premiere of the documentary “To Be Takei” at the UltraStar Theatre in Mission Valley. The 90-minute documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Most of us know Takei for his role as Sulu on the original “Star Trek” series and six “Star Trek” movies that followed. “To Be Takei” takes the filmgoers through Takei’s trek of real life, liberty and love. The film digs into the life of Takei and takes viewers along the journey during his time at a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II on to his remarkable career and personal life.

In Memory of

. Janet Hill Lamott , October 14, 1935 – April 26, 2014

Janet passed away in the presence of loving family on Saturday, April 26th 2014. She was born Janet Willson Hill in Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, to Naval Officer Andrew J. Hill and Jean Willson Hill. She was a “Kama'aina” (native Hawaiian) because of her “Aloha” spirit and love of the ocean. A “water-baby” from start, Janet swam on a kids' swim team, coached by Florence Chadwick. Janet's local schooling, was at Loma Portal Elementary, Dana Jr. High and Pt. Loma High (class of '53). She married a local, David Lamott in December 1956. A working mother of three girls, Janet finished with 15 years at the San Diego County Sheriff 's Crime Lab as a forensic alcohol and narcotics analyst. Janet and David began “Masters” swimming in 1972, competing in pool meets and ocean events. She became a stalwart international outrigger canoe paddler from age 50 – 58, 1985 – 1993. Janet was then the oldest (at 61) known modern woman to swim from from one Hawaiian island to another. Janet anchored relay teams for Maui and Catalina channel swims, the latest a 6woman, all-in-their 70's, relay of the Catalina Channel, 2012. In her 60's and 70's, Janet swam daily, year-round, with dear friends off La Jolla Cove. She was very fond of underwater photography and “Snorkel Safaris” and recently explored many exotic tropical waters. Janet produced many photo albums of colorful corals and creatures. She is survived by David; children: Jo Anna Lamott, Jenny Lamott and Jill O'Beirne (Kevin); grandchildren: Megan and Dan O'Beirne and Sage Lamott; sister, Dorsey Gale (Alfred) and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Janet was loved by all, was a role-model for many younger women, and is dearly missed. A “Swim/Paddle-out” will be held at La Jolla Cove/Shores, Saturday, June 28th, 08:30 AM, reception following. In lieu of flowers, donations will be appreciated for the Stephen Birch (Scripps) Aquarium, and/or the “Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment” (preservation of coral reefs and fishes).

OB man to stand trial in hatchet attack

Man who cornered boy at Robb Field given a year

An Ocean Beach man has been ordered to stand trial on charges of robbery and premeditated attempted murder of the owner of a jewelry store in El Cajon who was repeatedly struck with the blunt end of a hatchet. Travis Scott Kelley, 24, was also ordered to stand trial for attempted mayhem, three burglaries, assault, elder abuse, grand-theft firearm and fraudulent use of another person’s credit card. A trial date was set for May 27. The victim, Carl Hamlin, 75, testified before El Cajon Superior Court Judge John Thompson about the Jan. 22 incident that left him with a concussion and a skull fracture. Deputy District Attorney Gordon Davis said Hamlin had more than 200 stitches to close a head wound. The alleged getaway driver, Ali Armeen Toombs, 21, of La Mesa was ordered to stand trial for robbery, felony assault, burglary and fraudulent use of another person’s identification at the end of the preliminary hearing last month. Toombs was waiting outside Hamlin’s Jewelers on the day of the attack and was not present during the assault. The store’s security-camera footage was shown at the hearing. Davis said Kelley’s fingerprints were found on the

A man who held a 7-year-old boy against his will at Robb Field has been sentenced to one year in jail and ordered to stay away from the Ocean Beach park where the boy had been playing Little League baseball. After Jarrod Dwayne West, 28, finishes his jail term, he will be supervised on his release and banned from the park for two years, according to the sentence handed down May 8 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Robert O’Neill. Deputy District Attorney Julie Lynn said the boy was not molested, but West was legally bothering the youth in a Feb. 20 incident. West was given jail credits of 156 days and fined more than $1,120. Lynn asked for an 18-month sentence. West apologized to the boy, who attended the sentencing with his mother. O’Neill dismissed charges of attempted kidnapping and resisting arrest after West pleaded guilty to false imprisonment. In his guilty plea, West wrote that he intentionally confined the boy against his will at Robb Field. — Neal Putnam

inside door and Hamlin’s blood was found on Kelley and the passenger side of the getaway car. Davis said Kelley faces a life term in prison if convicted of premeditated attempted murder. Kelley was arrested Jan. 24 in Ocean Beach by the San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force. Kelley and Toombs have pleaded not guilty. Both remain in custody in lieu of $1 million and $300,000, respectively. — Neal Putnam

Gas-station robbery suspect to face trial A judge has ordered a man to stand trial June 12 for the armed robbery of a USA service station in the Sunset Cliffs area. Steven Joshua Balistreri, 36, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which also include auto theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm in the March 9 incident. He has a prior conviction for residential burglary. Deputy District Attorney Jim Koerber said Balistreri stole more than $240 from the clerk and then apologized to her before fleeing. A police officer arrested him near Robb Field. Balistreri had been free on bond from another auto-theft case that was pending in Chula Vista Superior Court and faces another charge of committing a

North OB Gateway Project BRIEFS again back on track after architectural firm locked in BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The oft-delayed Phase II North Ocean Beach Gateway Improvement Project is back on track after the Ocean Beach Community Development Corporation (OBCDC) selected a low bidder to compile construction documents for it. On May 8, the OBCDC’s board voted to select Estrada Landscape Architecture over KTU+A Planning Landscape Architecture. “KTU+A was higher than Estrada by a significant amount,” said OBCDC treasurer Dave Martin about the requests for proposals from the two companies to construct an ADAaccessible decorative walkway in pocket Entryway Park at Sunset Cliffs and West Point Loma boulevards. Martin said the bid differential was nearly $50,000 by Estrada versus nearly $62,000 by KTU+A. “Our budget was right around $50,000 for the project,” said Martin. “From that standpoint alone, there’s not much to argue with.” OBCDC president Tom Perrotti agreed. “This is an important decision,” he said. OBCDC board member Brian Pottenger said Estrada has previously done work in Imperial Beach for a similar project “that’s almost exactly what we want to do here.” Pottenger said his only question

was whether KTU+A’s bid was higher “because they did the (original) design work and know it will take that much work to do.” Pointing out Estrada’s done “half a dozen or more dynamite projects in San Diego,” Perrotti said, “I’m confident either company could do this (walkway).” “Now it’s time to start fundraising,” said OBCDC vice president Stephen Grosch following the 5-2 vote to lock in Estrada. The gateway project has suffered from time — and cost — delays involved with problems associated with securing a contractor in the competitive-bid process. Gateway Improvement Phase II is part of the Ocean Beach Entryway Master Plan started in 1997. A consultant team was retained by the OBCDC to develop a comprehensive master plan for beautifying and enhancing Ocean Beach’s entryway in a way that respects the community’s sense of place, identity and diversity. Founded by residents in 1993, the OBCDC is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the vibrancy of the Ocean Beach neighborhood. Run by an active board made up of neighborhood volunteers, the OBCDC has worked over the past 20-plus years on projects to preserve and enhance the unique character of Ocean Beach.

SARAH BOOT (Federal prosecutor) Q: What is the greatest challenge/challenges facing our beach communities of District 2 and how do you propose addressing this/them? A: Our beach communities are struggling with crumbling infrastructure, an increase in property crime, the largest SARAH BOOT homeless population outside of downtown and the ever-present responsibility of protecting our beaches and bays. We need a fierce advocate for our neighborhoods who will put the community first, without bowing to the developers and downtown insiders that have run City Hall for too long. We must stop cutting sweetheart deals for special interests at the expense of our neighborhoods and get serious about putting a stop to wasteful spending at City Hall. Q: The homeless situation and the issues/problems associated with it are becoming more pervasive in many areas of District 2. How do you propose to address this issue? A: Outside of downtown, our beach communities have the highest population of homeless individuals in San Diego, and the numbers continue to grow. It’s clear that what we are doing is not working, and we need leadership to push for change. We should implement a pilot program of the “housing first” model for chronically homeless veterans — typically those with severe mental illness and/or drug addiction. This model has been successful in other cities like Salt Lake City and Phoenix. The citymust also do a better job of advocating for our fair share of federal funding. Q: Now that the City Council has adopted a clear policy regulating controversial medical-marijuana dispensaries, do you believe the new policy has gone too far or not far enough? A: I support safe access to medical marijuana for compassionate use. However, the proliferation of pot shops along our main streets has pushed out local businesses and changed the character of our beach communities. For years, the city failed to enact regulations that balance the needs of patients and the larger community. The recent ordinance limiting the number of dispensaries to four per district is a good start. Passed months ago, the city has yet to enforce it. For the safety of patients and for the

I am the only candidate who our San Diego Police Officers Association and the Deputy Sheriffs Association trusts to improve safety in our neighborhoods. Q: Now that the City Council has adopted a clear policy regulating controversial medical-marijuana dispensaries, do you believe the new policy has gone too far or not far enough? A: I not only voted for the new policy, but I fought to put a cap on the maximum number of marijuana dispensaries, reducing the proposed number from nine to just four in the entire district. I believe in safe access to medicinal marijuana for legitimate patients, but that does not mean we should have a dispensary on every corner. During Bob Filner’s brief tenure as mayor, he allowed dozens of illegal dispensaries to open across the city. With these new rules in place, the city has begun closing the illegal dispensaries that have taken over our neighborhood. Q: Mayor Kevin Faulconer has introduced a proposed budget placing much greater emphasis on neighborhoods, infrastructure and quality-of-life issues. Do you support this plan? What components would be your priorities? A: During my first term, I worked alongside then-Councilman Faulconer to implement the government reforms that have given us the money for increased services in this budget. Our ability to work together to improve conditions for all of San Diego is why Mayor Faulconer has endorsed me to replace him in District 2. I absolutely support his proposed budget emphasizing increased neighborhood services and street repair. I look forward to voting this June to increase our infrastructure investment by 66 percent, to authorizing more personnel and resources for our understaffed police department and to increasing library hours in all our neighborhoods.

(San Diego City Councilwoman) Q: What is the greatest challenge/challenges facing our beach communities of District 2 and how do you propose addressing this/them? A: There are many challenges facing our district, but the biggest is our crumbling infrastructure. For years the city failed to invest in our neighborhoods, and that money went elsewhere. Not to downtown, but to public employee pensions. That’s why I’ve fought for vital government reforms like Comprehensive Pension Reform, so we can invest back in our neighborhoods again. Last year, my LORIE ZAPF office got more potholes filled than any other City Council office.

Organized by the Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church, the day of service has consistently grown in size, expanding to 20 new projects with volunteers working from 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in communities and neighborhoods in need. “The Day of Service and other efforts are a great way for citizens to come together, serve the community and help transform the neighborhoods of our city,” said Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Key projects include repainting the Alpha Project Transitional Housing site downtown, repainting the Barrio Station building, entryway beautification in Broadway Heights, installing fencing for a future Urban Farm site in Southeast San Diego, building picnic tables at the Jackie Robinson YMCA, bench construction at the Presbyterian Urban Ministries, constructing box gardens for seniors, cleanup of Memorial Skateboard Park, volunteer service at the Jacobs Cushman San Diego Food Bank and cleanup of Lincoln and Point Loma high schools and Gompers Academy.

Church. Key volunteer groups will include Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the Point Loma Association, Veterans Village of San Diego, high school and college student groups and many others. Volunteers are still needed for projects and will be provided a free T-shirt and lunch. “The Day of Service has been a highlight for our church, and it’s given us the opportunity to help neighborhoods in need and to put faith into action,” said Karla Shaw, associate pastor of the Point Loma Presbyterian Church. Many school projects are included in the effort, including Dana Middle School and elementary school sites in Ocean Beach and the Peninsula. Environmental clean-up and restoration projects will include the Famosa Slough wetlands, San Diego River, Sunset Cliffs Natural Park and Cabrillo National Monument as well as work on city parks. The Day of Service includes a variety of projects so all ages can participate, including creating cards and writing letters to the military, sewing in the prayer quilt ministry, baking cookies, preparing The first phase of the Nimitz Grand Entryway Project, the enhancement of 5,100 square feet of median with 3,500 square feet of food for the homeless, delivering plants drought-resistant plants, was completed in early April. The total cost of the project, sponsored by the Point Loma Association (PLA), to shut-ins and singing for senior citiwas started in January 2013 at a cost of $125,000. Project donations included $30,000 from the county and $15,000 from the city, zens. as well as large private donations through the San Diego Foundation and PLA.

One of the flag program’s main sponsors, Point Loma Nazarene University, contributes a generous amount to the program to continue without the need for the Optimists to divert funds from its youth programs. A few local merchant donors have also contributed to the cause. Formerly known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day commemorates U.S. servicemembers who have died in service to our country. First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War, it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars. Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma is a federal installation located on the grounds of the former Army

tery will be closed in the morning to all vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians to reduce congestion and increase safety. Visitors are encouraged to avoid the area unless they are attending the memorial event at Fort Rosecrans. As a result of the morning closure, Cabrillo National Monument will then be open in the evening so visitors can view the sunset from the park. The park and its grounds will close at 8 p.m. For more information about Cabrillo National Monument, visit www.nps.gov.cabr/. Another Memorial Day ceremony will be held at Miramar National Cemetery, 5795 Nobel Drive at the Flag Assembly area, the day before Memorial Day, on Sunday, May 25, starting at 1 p.m. The keynote speaker will be Brig. Gen. John W. Bullard, commanding general, Marine Corps Installations West at Camp Pendleton. The guest speaker will be

Bradley Phillips, executive director of Memorial Service Network V. The Peninsula community will also commemorate Memorial Day with its own flair. For more than 50 years, a patriotic display of American flags has lined Rosecrans Street along a two-mile stretch from Lytton to Talbot streets, thanks to the Optimist Club of Point Loma. More than 160 flags are erected at 7 a.m. every Sunday and on federal holidays and methodically removed by nightfall. “We have a vehicle that we load up with flags, and it’s a two-man operation putting them up, starting at 7 a.m. on Memorial Day. They come down about 4 p.m.,” said Optimist spokesman Ron Lauderbach. “The reason we do this is

IN OTHER ACTION • Planners heard that a proposal is in the city’s current budget asking that a park ranger be hired to split time between Sunset Cliffs Natural Park in Ocean Beach and Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores. • PCPB board secretary Nicole Burgess said Nimitz Boulevard has been resurfaced, creating a six-foot bike lane with three-foot buffers. • The PCPB board approved writing a letter to the city traffic engineer about road-safety concerns following a presentation by boardmember Peter Nystrom. Nystrom said where Lytton Street transitions into Chatsworth Boulevard is an extremely dangerous area where “cars have been totaled in front of people’s homes and other cars have been sideswiped.” Other group members agreed, noting there is lot of student traffic in that area with Point Loma High and Loma Portal Elementary schools nearby. • The PCPG meets the third Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Point Loma/Hervey Branch Library, 3701 Voltaire St.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Falling Doves readying to soar with CD-release party at Mother’s Saloon BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON In the decade since he first emerged in San Diego’s music community, few have had as varied or colorful a career as Chris Leyva. He’s been a manager, songwriter, label owner, concert promoter, videographer, graphics designer and more — not only for his own group, but others, as well. While he is perhaps best known for his activities behind the scenes, he said making music himself comes first. “I never really considered myself anything other than a musician,” he said. “The business stuff happened by default. I needed stuff done and I saw where I could help others. It’s simple as that. Necessity makes us head in directions we didn’t expect sometimes.” On Friday, May 30, Leyva and his band, Falling Doves, will host a CDrelease party for their new album, “Ready to Go,” at Mother’s Saloon. Opening will be indie rockers Dante’s Boneyard. The choice of venue was no accident. “It’s my home away from home,” Leyva said. “I played my very first show there, back when it was Dream Street.” Ocean Beach figures in the album’s creation as well. It was partially recorded at Leyva’s former apartment on Sunset Cliffs Blvd. The Falling Doves have had a volatile lineup since their inception, currently consisting of guitarist Mike Dorsey, drummer Jason Knight and,

for this special show, local bassist Mark Wikowski. “All the lineups have basically been just a bunch of friends making noise, you know?” Leyva said. “But time marches on, and I’m feeling like the last man standing. All of those friends of mine now have babies and all that. It’s only a matter of time before I succumb to life and normalcy, but I still have a few sunsets left in me.” The album contains music written from throughout Leyva’s musical career, with songs chosen from demos and old favorites from the more than two dozen albums in his discography.

“It started off as just taping some demos,” he said. “But then I realized I wasn’t happy with some other versions of songs in past albums, so I ended up re-recording a few and wrote some new ones in the process. Those new ones are important to the whole thing, like ‘Glass of Wine,’ which kind of stamps where my writing is at these days, both lyrically and musically.” He points out that life on the road can make coming up with new music difficult. “Traveling really does not give me any free time, but I keep a notepad and a recorder handy for melodies between flight trains and commutes,” Leyva said. “Finding time can be hard. But sometimes situations out there give you inspiration, so it’s a bit of a trade-off, I suppose.” He acknowledges that the life of a touring musician is harder than ever, but he said he is happy to continue rocking as long as he can. “Making music? It’s the best job you could have,” he said. “Just being a musician can be a good thing. There was a study about a guy with a guitar and a guy without one [it was the same guy] in an elevator. Supposedly, people smiled at the guitar guy, identifying with him and thinking things like ‘I wish that was me,’ and all that. Same guy, same situation, but no guitar and he never got a second look. “Honestly, I think people know it’s not easy to do this, so they kind of throw us a bone,” Leyva said. “Sometimes you get a smile, sometimes they buy you a drink.” Music has consumed Leyva’s life for as long as he can remember, and he said he intends to keep it that way. “I don’t want to sound cliché, but I’ve been singing and writing as far back as I can remember,” he said. “I will say there was a definitive visual on television and radio in the ’90s that made me want to pick up a guitar. It’s the same old story. Boy listens to a band, the music speaks to him and he becomes obsessed. It’s almost like puberty, where you can’t stop thinking of girls and all that. Like a deep crush, but it’s music.” • FALLING DOVES: Friday, May 30 at MOTHER’S SALOON, 2228 Bacon St., 9 p.m. 21 and up. For more information, visit www.motherssaloonob.com.

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT 15 The Cravory: whipping up a tasty new cookie revolution THURSDAY · MAY 22, 2014

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY FRANK SABATINI JR. | THE BEACON Fresh rosemary, balsamic vinegar and black pepper are ingredients that bring to mind roasted chicken. Or perhaps leg of lamb. But toss them into a batch of cookies and you end up with a baking business that attracts customers from around the globe, just as the owners of The Cravory in the Midway District have discovered. “It was one of the first cookie recipes

we created. And to this day it’s among our most popular flavors,” said Adam Koven, who started the avant-garde cookie company in 2009 with fellow Tucson transplants Derek Jaeger and Nate Ransom, all graduates of colleges in Arizona and each under 30 years old. Until recently, the trio operated out of a rented kitchen in Miramar, selling their crafty treats exclusively online and at farmers markets, both of which they still do. In February, however, they opened

Cookies are displayed elegantly at The Cravory’s first retail outlet.

their first retail outlet at 3960 W. Point Loma Blvd, Suite G, in what was formerly a yogurt shop. The space was given a clean, chic makeover by acclaimed local designer Michael Soriano. “He did an amazing job by going a lot more boutique than what you would expect from a bakery,” said Koven, referring to a mostly white color scheme that embodies restored antique pieces and brown and beige cork flooring meant to look like chocolate-chip cookie dough. Also, instead of displaying entire batches of cookies in a traditional shelving unit, a clear Lucite box showcases the day’s flavors in single form, while the freshly baked stockpiles are kept beneath in stylish drawers. The Cravory has developed more than 90 secret cookie recipes that range from sweet to savory. About 16 different types surface on any given day. Signature flavors include Almond Joyous, Birthday Cake, Salted Caramel Cream, Pancake & Bacon and the famous Rosemary-Balsamic, which the owners term as “the most sophisticated in the cookie jar.” The inventive recipes don’t stop there. On the first of each month, six new flavors are introduced. Throughout May, for instance, customers can seize upon cookies named Red Red Wine, Key Lime Tart and Macadamia Mocha. The summer months, adds Koven, will likely usher in a “Kentucky mule” made with bourbon-infused caramel, plus a “jelly donut” flavor and a greensprinkled cake batter cookie representing The Hulk for Comic-Con International in Courtesy photo July.

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN

The cookies sell for $2 a piece and can be purchased also in gift boxes of a dozen or two dozen, either in single flavors or mixed. It is Jaeger who wears the baker’s hat in the business after majoring in nutrition at the University of Arizona. Koven and Ransom oversee the financials and marketing efforts, although Koven is no stranger to the oven. “I had a lot of family baking time when growing up, and my great-grandmother was an excellent baker,” he says. From a branding standpoint, The Cravory is the envy of other entrepreneurs. Since building a loyal customer base in San Diego over the years at farmers markets in Ocean Beach, La Jolla, Little Italy and Hillcrest,

the cookies have made their way into major airports in New York, Orlando and Minneapolis. Locally, they retail at Lazy Hummingbird and Lighthouse Ice Cream & Yogurt, both in Ocean Beach, as well as several other outlets throughout the city. “We also ship all over the world to military and customers traveling abroad,” adds Koven, revealing that the company will inevitably expand. “We’re trying to determine where to open a second location in San Diego, and we want people to fall in love with a new flavor every time they visit The Cravory,” he said. To place phone or online orders, call (619) 795-9077, or visit www.thecravory.com.

berry juice, topped with a lemon twist and the Blushing Mimosa, made with champagne, orange juice, pineapple juice and grenadine. Other drink options include red sangria, margaritas and Bloody Marys.

championships, the Pointers fell from Division II to Division III in the new CIF playoff system, based on each school’s overall record over the last five seasons. The Pointers were the No. 6 seed in their new division and began playoffs with a 32 victory over No. 11 El Capitan High last week. Their next match, at No. 3 seed Santana High, was postponed by the recent wildfires and was set to take place earlier this week, with the winner of that match scheduled to play the winner of the No. 10 San Diego High vs. No. 2 Sweetwater High game on May 21.

The Point Loma boys’ volleyball team wrapped up its impressive third league title in the last four years. With an Eastern League record of 10-2, the Pointers edged Patrick Henry (9-3) for the crown. In head-to-head competition with the Patriots, each team prevailed once — the Pointers dropping a 3-1 decision on the road and earning a 3-0 win in the familiar confines of Lee Trepanier Gym. The other Pointer loss came in a 3-1 decision, also away, to third place Morse High. Overall, the Pointers recorded a 13-12 record. Ironically, despite the string of league

The Pointer boys’ swim team set a perfect high-water mark, going without a loss through 11 season meets, including seven Eastern League con-

tests. Led by senior and All-American Jason O’Brien, the team’s closest meet was against league rival La Jolla Country Day, which fell to the Pointers by a close 95-86 score. O’Brien qualified for Automatic AllAmerican status last year with a 500meter freestyle time of 4:27.80, faster than the established 4:30.83 standard. But he’s even faster now.

“I swam a 4:19.98 in March at the American Shortcourse Championships in Texas,” O’Brien said, “and I need to repeat that to break the county record of 4:21.10” (set by Tim Siciliano, San Marcos, in 1998). But O’Brien, who swam the 200meter and 500-meter freestyle events in Pointer meets, needed lots of help to SEE SWIMMERS, Page 19

CHAMPS CONTINUED FROM Page 1

By rule, each team may only have eight members and must sail two boats (Division A and Division B). Teams sail two races in Division A boats, then confer with coaches and plan strategies while Division B boats sail two races. Before returning, team members are often switched in boats to match wind conditions. With the final deadline approaching, the Pointer A boat (Scott Sinks and Johannes McElvain) finished sixth, leaving them in an overall tie with St. George’s with Shorecrest School (Florida) just one point back. But after huddling with longtime team coach Steve Hunt, the B boat team of Will La Dow and Jennifer Johnson steered their dinghy to the fifthplace finish that clinched the championship.

SWIMMERS

For McElvain, this marks his second Mallory Trophy victory. The Pointer junior was on the 2012 team that also won the title. Also sailing in the event were Rebecca McElvain, Kenny Moats, Mercedes McPhee and Andy Reiter. Boats sailed were CFJ dinghies, 13.5 feet in length, belonging to the tournament host. Boats were rotated among teams to ensure even competition. The Pointers earned entry from the Pacific Coast district along with Branson (San Francisco), Newport Harbor and Corona del Mar Schools. The event host is rotated each year between districts, and this was the Pacific Coast’s turn, saving the Pointers thousands of dollars in plane fares, hotels and meals. Members of the San Diego Yacht Club volunteered in numerous roles for a year leading up to the Mother’s Dayweekend event.

One fact adds interest to meet scores CONTINUED FROM Page 16 — the Pointers have no divers on their roster, forfeiting those points to each defeat every opponent. opponent. “Our undefeated season was clearly a “Even in the past, when we someteam effort,” said head coach Jerry times had divers, they had to train else-

becomes the home team. Travis Doyle, (6’ 7”) led several statistical categories. His 272 kills (of 471 attempts) was far ahead of junior Jason Shoemaker’s next highest total (86 of 192). John Hook (41), Doyle (38), Shoemaker (31), Gabe Kim (27) and Jack Chinman (24) served the most aces. Doyle also dominated the blocks category with 52, outdistancing Chinman’s 18. In digs, Doyle recorded 157, while Shoemaker (79), Kim (69), Hook (52), Ryan Hause (48), Paul Hause (46), Chinman (45) and Jorge Navarro (33) all chipped in. Hook easily led all players with 360 assists, with Shoemaker recording 184. Receiving serves was another Doyle strength, as his 164 successful receptions led the Pointers. Paul Hause (74), Kim (73), Navarro (59), Ryan Hause (46) and Shoemaker (45) were other leaders. At a Senior Night celebration earlier this month, head coach James Sakasegawa bade farewell to Angel Flores, Doyle, Kim, Ryan and Paul Hause. Next season’s returning Pointers will include Hook, Shoemaker, Navarro and 6foot-4-inch sophomore Chinman, along with Mitch Zanders, Jaret LaRocco, Michael Enright, Taeshon Green and Nicholas Stepanof. EXTRA NOTES • Shoemaker, finishing his junior year, was the only member of this year’s team that also played on the “odd squad,” the 2012 Pointer team that finished 2-10 in Eastern League and 2-25 overall. • The 2011, 2013 and now 2014 teams have recorded league championships. • The team’s assistant coaches are Lawrence Ortiguerra, Rob Harring and Point Loma volleyball team captain Travis Doyle (No. 10), a 6-foot-7-inch senior, returns a ball against league rival Mission Bay as teammate Jaret LaRocco watches.

EXTRA STROKES • O’Brien’s mother, Valorie Seyfert, earned a spot on the 1980 U.S. Olympic swim team, sporting the second-fastest time in the 200-meter fly before the team boycotted the games in Moscow to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. • O’Brien has accepted a scholarship offer for next year from USC, where his mother swam, over offers from Stanford and UC Berkeley. • The City Conference meet was postponed last week because of the spate of wildfires in the county. CIF prelims and finals are now scheduled only two days apart on May 22 and 24 at Granite Hills High School in El Cajon. • Rich said he would love to add divers to his team. “I hope the new pool being planned for Liberty Station will have both low- and high-diving boards available,” Rich said about the Pointers’ likely new home pool.

Jessica Tompane is the founder and principal designer of home-décor J Hill Interior Designs (JHID), located at Liberty Station. Her design assistant, Amy McKnight, assists with multiple facets of the business and is currently working toward her National Council for Interior Design Qualification. When Tompane first opened her doors during the down economy of 2010, she offered affordable design and “focused on using home décor in a more creative and resourceful way.” Now, nurturing a thriving business, she continues to offer creative, versatile solutions for a variety of budgets, including high-end projects. JHID is a full-service firm that offers everything from consulting packages to full design concepts. Given Tompane’s referral network of contractors and vendors, “Clients don’t even need to lift a finger, although some do enjoy being part of the hands-on process.” The firm has worked with clients ranging from the historic communities of Point Loma and Coronado to the more modern, gated communities of Del Mar. One of the keys to JHID’s success is that it provides scalable, budgetfriendly and versatile design concepts. Tompane and McKnight said they are passionate about tailoring their designs to people’s tastes and aesthetics. Whether a client wants to enhance a room’s comfort level, create a practical functional space or provide a design concept for an entire home, JHID is dedicated to assisting the client with bringing a vision into being. Tompane said communication is an essential part of the process with customers. “At the end of the day, design services are a luxury, but well worth the money to create a space that reflects the client and their lifestyle needs,” said Tompane. Clients benefit from Tompane’s project manager-style of design services. “It’s important to have someone with a professional eye who can create a cohesive look,” said Tompane. “My services can assist clients with avoiding costly mistakes. It’s also about knowing where to put your money. For example, a client might think they need crown molding or new banisters when repainting and bringing in a colorful accent rug may [be more suitable to] revitalize the space. “This is more than just a job,” she said. “There’s a larger purpose, a calling, behind Amy and I being designers. We’re really providing a lifestyle service and are 100 percent dedicated to satisfying our clients. While we want the client to be happy with the end product and the design reveal, we also want them to understand all facets of the process.” Tompane said she loves “unconventional design with high-color” and would welcome the opportunity to work on a mid-century modern retro design project. As a successful entrepreneur, Tompane said she believes “everyone has a strong set of natural strengths. It’s about putting those in motion, working hard and having faith. It’s also about doing what you know and love. Just go for it. There may be a great

“At the end of the day, design services are a luxury, but well worth the money to create a space that reflects the client and their lifestyle needs ... It’s important to have someone with a professional eye who can create a cohesive look. My services can assist clients with avoiding costly mistakes.”

HOME & PETS 21 Ocean Beach’s Tech Pet Care goes dog-sitters one better THURSDAY · MAY 22, 2014

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | THE BEACON Just ask the customer whose dog needed an injection and was looking for some sound professional advice: as long as what she’s doing is within state guidelines, Jan Gorham can wield a needle as professionally as any veterinarian. A registered California veterinary technician for the last 30 years, Gorham has picked up countless tricks of the trade from her schooling at Mesa College and from her bosses at several area animal hospitals. She’s also been a groomer and has a network of friends among pet sitters and dog walkers, whose jobs she calls “very important to the animal’s health.” And now that she’s hung her shingle under the name Tech Pet Care, the Ocean Beach resident wants neighbors to know that there’s a difference between the roles of a sitter or a groomer and that of a caretaker. It’s one thing to provide kennel and companionship and transport services for dogs and cats, she said (see techpetcare.com or call (619) 807-5376 for the particulars and prices) — but Gorham’s technical expertise, which ranges from emergency hospital care to obedience training, raises the level of that care, perhaps revealing a medical issue that a veterinarian wouldn’t otherwise see. “There are a lot of people who still leave their animals with the vet when they go on vacation when they could leave them with me,” said Gorham, herself a dog owner. “And if the animals stay at my house, I can wash them and clean their teeth, but I’m also more than just a pet-sitter. I can give sort of a cursory exam. I bring a stethoscope with me when I go to the owners’ homes just so I can give them an idea of how the animal is doing. I can take a weight, inspect their mouths, their glands, and I can encourage the owner. If they brush their animal’s teeth, if they comb their hair, if they keep the fleas away, they’re going to have a healthier animal” — and thus give the pet the best line of defense prior to an exam. California’s registered veterinary technicians

“There are a lot of people who still leave their animals with the vet when they go on vacation when they could leave them with me. And if the animals stay at my house, I can wash them and clean their teeth, but I’m also more than just a pet-sitter. I can give sort of a cursory exam. I bring a stethoscope with me when I go to the owners’ homes just so I can give them an idea of how the animal is doing.” JAN GORHAM Tech Pet Care, Ocean Beach

are required to complete a two-year associate’s degree program at a college accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association or have accumulated 4,416 hours of practice in 24 months under a veterinarian’s supervision. They must also pass a state-administered examination and submit to a criminal background check, at which time they’re issued a license to practice, renewable every two years. Locally, Chula Vista’s Pima Medical Institute offers the study program. California Veterinary Medical Board regulations state that registered techs cannot diagnose, prognose, perform surgery, prescribe drugs or dispense appliances. Under indirect supervision, they may treat burns, apply tourniquets, resuscitate animals, run bloodwork and administer controlled substances; under closer oversight, they can induce anesthesia, insert catheters, apply casts and splints and perform dental extractions. And as savvy animal people, they can dispense practical advice that may escape the petsitting community. So-called extreme sports for animals are an explicit “no-no” unless the animal is accustomed to it or unless the human brings a stroller. Every time an animal chews on itself, it may be introducing disease-causing bacteria. “I just wonder,” Gorham said, “how much of that stuff the pet-sitters know.”

Meanwhile, Gorham is content to run a oneperson operation as “a glorified pet-sitter,” sensing a need for ancillary medical services in what she calls an excellent local pet owner community. San Diego does boast many acclaimed care resources, from corporate giants like PETCO to noted pet behaviorists to the San Diego Humane Society and the Helen Woodward Animal Center. The glut prompts Gorham’s note of concern about saturation of

the marketplace. “You never really know,” she said of her venture, “how many people are doing what you’re doing until you start doing it.” But amid the chronic shortage of veterinarians, it stands to reason that techs are in short supply too — and that makes Tech Pet Care all the more potentially valuable a community asset.

Taking puppy love to a new level: healthy doggy muffins BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Kathie Missett has taken puppy love to a whole new dimension, creating an Internet business promoting natural nutrition for pooches. Missett started her business, Puppy Love Muffins & Specialty Dog Food, after adopting her rescue dog, Bailey. Bailey had some health issues and Missett wanted to ensure her pet was getting the best possible diet to help build his immune system naturally. But she became disenchanted with dog-food options after exploring alternatives and discovering that even highquality dog food brands used substandard ingredients, by-products, artificial preservatives and supplements. Missett, an Ocean Beach resident, developed what she said is a better, healthier, dog-food alternative: muffins. “I had some heart-shaped tins from Valentine’s Day and I came up with the idea for Puppy Love Muffins, little meat muffins with all sorts of nutritional food,” she said. Now, she’s adding “a baking fool,” pointing out she once baked 600 muffins at one time for a pet parade. It would represent the birth of Missett’s virtual bakery, www.puppylovemuffins.com. “I started this business just about a year ago and it’s really started selling,” said Missett. She said all her doggie muffins are freshly baked, adding it takes

We are happy to announce that construction on our new hospital is well underway. It is located across our parking lot and above our boarding kennel and pet health store. This new space for our medical and surgical facility allows us more ways to help serve you and your pets. We also give a warm welcome to Dr. Ron Cammarata who has joined our staff. Dr. Cammarata graduated from Cornell University in 1991 and was certified in veterinary acupuncture by the Chi Institute in 2000.

three days to process an online order. Missett’s customers speak highly of Puppy Love’s product line. “I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy alternative dog food,” said Gwendolyn Fuentes, whose dog, Domingo, is an Italian greyhound/chihuahua mix. “[Fuentes] is incredibly knowledgeable, and I have learned quite a bit about how bad conventional dog food can be for our pet. What I really like about her is her passion, and how she can present all her

research and findings without ego,” said Fuentes. “She knows her stuff, but she isn’t going to make you feel like a bad pet owner if you choose another path.” Fuentes describe Missett’s muffins as “amazing.” “My dog will go on strike if I don’t offer him a muffin,” she said. Fellow customer Lily Jeovanna Matteotti concurs with Fuentes. “I recently adopted a puppy (Tucker, a King Charles cavalier) with a known SEE TREATS, Page 22

I would like to thank all of my clients that have entrusted their pet family medical care to me over the years in Point loma. I will be changing practice location and I am excited to continue to see patients at Cabrillo Pet Hospital I can be reached at 619-225-9684 for appointments. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

THURSDAY · MAY 22, 2014

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY TERRIE LEIGH RELF | THE BEACON It’s Tuesday about noon, and you’re strolling along Voltaire Street toward Te Mana café for some Aloha Spirit and a fragrant cup of rich organic coffee, a decadent coconut haystack or one of those palate-pleasing-choose-your-own-ingredients breakfast or lunch bowls. You notice there’s a long table set up in the peaceful garden patio, where people in suits, jeans and T-shirts and other casual attire, are seated. They have drinks with tropical umbrellas and seem to be having a great time, what with all the laughing and smiling, the rapt attention when someone has the floor, or table, as it were.

You’re curious and step closer. Welcome to the Ocean Beach Networking Group. Founded in February by real-estate agent C.C. Summerfield and Internet consultant Chuck Hardwick, the group meets at Te Mana Café on Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m. The format is simple. There’s a warmup and introductions — complete with the familiar practice of passing out business cards — followed by a 15- to 20minute mini-lecture. People usually linger after the event to discuss topics of interest and to sign up to present at a future meeting. So, how did the group come into being? Hardwick and Summerfield live in

Ocean Beach and are interested in developing local clients and connecting with other OB businesses and entrepreneurs. When they couldn’t find a local networking group, they decided to create one. After working out the particulars in February, they held their first official meeting at Te Mana on March 4 and drew 11 participants. Hardwick said there are usually about a dozen people each week, but on March 7, there were closer to 20. So, who will you connect with at the Ocean Beach Networking Group? According to Hardwick, there are people with new and established businesses that are “hungry to grow and develop.” There have been website developers,

website marketers, SEO optimization experts, investment consultants, realestate agents and sales reps, as well as bar and music promoters, personal trainers and writers. Others include an artist, an attorney, a DJ, an eco-entrepreneur, a meditation instructor, a chef/restaurateur, a loyalty card consultant, a life coach, a pastor, a yoga instructor, a dog walker and a professional videographer. “Every week, there’s people I never met — and I love meeting new people, learning about what they do,” said Hardwick. “This is a free event, and the group is open. Participants are encouraged to check out whether it’s a good fit, bring business cards, marketing materials and a friend.

“This is also a great opportunity to be a speaker and promote your own business. We’re definitely looking to grow. It makes me feel good to see people connect on a social and professional level,” he said. Hardwick said he was appreciative of Te Mana for being “so gracious and helpful to the group. The service is really good and the people who work there are all super-cool. Be sure to arrive about 15 minutes early to place an order before the meeting starts.” For more information, call (760) 5796120, or visit www.obnetwork-ing.com. Te Mana Café is located at 4956 Voltaire St. Call (619) 255-9233, or visit www.temanacafe.com.

food (wheat, corn) is on the market. Puppy Love Muffins was exactly what I needed, dog food that provided all the nutrients, minerals for my dog and all the convenience of not having to make it myself.” Matteotti said she appreciates that Puppy Love Muffins “has done their research.”

“I would recommend them to any dog owner that is looking for the same things I was looking for: healthy local ingredients, convenient for me and made locally in the USA,” she said. “The plus side is I’m supporting a small business. Tucker loves them, and I feel good knowing I’ve done the best I can.” Missett said the pet-food industry is a

good business to be in because it’s just exploding. The global pet food industry has doubled in the last 10 years, she said. “My goal is to be able to expand and grow,” Missett said. An all-natural holistic dog-food company, Puppy Love Muffins & Specialty Dog Food uses no wheat, corn, soy or

artificial ingredients. Its products are filled with high-quality animal protein like tuna, beef and chicken and all-natural ingredients like blueberries, cranberries and sweet potatoes that are formulated to meet a dog’s nutritional needs. For more information, visit www.puppylovemuffins.com.

San Diego home prices steady amid faltering housing statistics Despite a national drop in home sales, real estate prices in San Diego are holding steady, and the metropolitan area remains in the top three for total increases over the past year, according to new data from the respected S&P/Case-Shiller index. “The three California cities (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco) and Las Vegas have the strongest increases over the last 12 months as the West continues to lead,” said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. But he noted that other measures show an uncertain housing market. “Despite continued price gains, most other housing statistics are weak,” he said. “Sales of both new and existing homes are flat to down. The recovery in housing starts, now less than 1 million units at annual rates, is faltering. Moreover, home prices nationally have not made it back to 2005.” Here are the top five metro areas for home price increases over the past year: Las Vegas - 23.1 percent San Francisco - 22.7 percent San Diego - 19.9 percent Los Angeles - 18.2 percent Atlanta - 16.1 percent
