City plans to make PL crosswalk safer Catalina/Canon intersection to get upgrades BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Point Lomans demanding changes at an intersection where a child in a stroller was killed — and her father critically injured when struck by an SUV in March — got their wish May 21 as the city unveiled an interim solution to making the Catalina/Canon street crossing safer. The city unveiled its shortterm plans for signalizing and restriping the intersection at the

Portuguese Festa Parade The 105th Portuguese Festa do Divino Espirito Santo (Feast of the Holy Spirit), said to be San Diego's oldest ethnic celebration, was held on the grounds of UPSES Portuguese Hall and St. Agnes Catholic Church in Point Loma last week. The Festa Parade was on Sunday, May 24, followed by the celebration of High Mass and the coronations of the festival king and queen at St. Agnes.

In March, a vacationing couple walking their 7month-old daughter in a stroller about 6:30 a.m. were struck by an SUV turning from Catalina onto Canon. The driver, whose vision was obstructed, stopped to render aid. Both the child and her father were critically injured and hospitalized. The child SEE CROSSWALK, Page 6

Apple Tree Market may sprout again on Newport Ave. in OB BY ANTHONY de GARATE THE BEACON

Before the building at 4949 Santa Monica Ave. opened as a CVS pharmacy this year, Apple Tree Market reigned there as Ocean Beach’s only full-time grocery store. That distinction ended in late 2013 when, after a quarter century, the business lost its lease. Saad Hirmez, who took over the former Safeway in 1989 and didn’t want to leave, has been counting the

days until he opens a new store – literally. “It’s been two years, five months and seven days since we were kicked to the curb against our will,” Hirmez said May 6 at the monthly meeting of the Ocean Beach Planning Board. If Hirmez sounds bitter about Apple Tree’s demise, he’s equally optimistic about its return. He appeared with preliminary floor plans for a SEE MARKET, Page 6

NTC Foundation names new GM for Arts & Culture District ‘Having grown up in San Diego and understanding the impact of the U.S. Navy and its history in our community, I have a passion for preserving that history.’ LISA JOHNSON NEW NTC FOUNDATION GM

The NTC Foundation recently introduced Lisa Johnson as the new general manager overseeing the NTC Arts and Culture District – San Diego’s fast-growing arts and culture district in Liberty Station in Point Loma. A San Diego native, Johnson brings a blend of nonprofit management experience and real estate experience, facility management knowledge, project management and business experience. In addition, she has a strong background in philanthropy from professional and volunteer perspec-

tives, having served as a fundraiser for many community-based organizations. Her initial goals will be to help ensure financial sustainability of the foundation and position it for a positive growth trajectory. She will also work to successfully shepherd new projects to completion and complete Phase III renovations and leasing at the 28-acre campus. Most recently, Johnson was executive manager of the South Bay Family YMCA. “We are pleased to welcome

Lisa to our team,” said Alan Ziter, NTC executive director. “Her vast experience combined with her passion for the project will serve us well as we move to the next phase of development.” This is a kind of homecoming for Johnson, who worked with The Corky McMillin Cos. for five years when they moved their offices to Liberty Station from their headquarters in National City. “I had the opportunity,” Johnson said, “to experience and conSEE NTC, Page 12

BUSINESS 4 Visual aesthetics earn Point Loma residence an architectural award THURSDAY · MAY 28, 2015

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON You’ve heard of the better mousetrap. Well, now there’s a better plastics application. And it’s been used so successfully in residential development in Point Loma, that it has garnered an industry Just Imagine design award. The eye-catching “Louvers by Design” project, made with LuciteLux Frost in Glacier Green cast acrylic, is a residential property collaboration project by Elliott Rabin of ePlastics of Kearny Mesa and Jeff Kull Construction. The joint project was completed in early 2014. Michael Sebastian, ePlastics online marketing director, discussed the dilemma resolved by the new plastics application. “We used this Lucite plastic application for some (window) louvers because the residents wanted to be able to block the sun but also wanted to get an ocean view out of the windows,” Sebastian said. “So it (windows) were constructed to block the sun on the lower level, but not on the upper level.” Sebastian said the resulting customized plastics application has “added to the visual aesthetics of the home.” Architectural plans in the Point Loma home called for window louvers that would diffuse natural light coming into the two-story living room while allowing people on the second floor to have a clear view of the Pacific Ocean. Kull turned to ePlastics to identify a material that would not only accomplish that objective but also be strong, durable and able to withstand varying temperatures and all kinds of weather, particularly in its relatively exposed position at the top of the house. ePlas-

tics introduced Kull to LuciteLux Frost in Glacier Green, and the rest is design history. “‘Louvers by Design is a breathtaking example of taking a traditionally functional feature – in this case the louver – and making it a major part of the home’s overall aesthetic,” said Chris Robinson, business manager for Lucite International. “We’re delighted that the duo behind the project selected one of our most versatile product offerings, LuciteLux Frost, to realize their creative vision. Its cool,

frosted surface resists scratches and retains its texture when designers form it into all kinds of shapes and sizes.” “We selected LuciteLux Frost because of its opacity level and color, which blended with the ocean beautifully,” said Rabin. “The home’s decorators had a very intentional theme and color scheme. The LuciteLux cast acrylic was a perfect match.” Rabin added that the product was also selected for the housing project because of its thermoformability, which allowed it to be heated and wrapped around an

aluminum frame in a controlled and uniform manner, avoiding the risk of kinking or cracking. The Louvers by Design project was honored recently with a win at The Just Imagine Awards recognizing designers who embrace the originality of working with and creating designs using LuciteLux. The Just Imagine award recognizes a designer’s achievement in the field, and celebrates their distinctive contribution to the world of design using LucieLux’s cast acrylic material.

FOOD & DRINK 5 Diego’s microbrew industry feature Delicious Italian dishes and service keeps San on KPBS showcases Stone, Ballast Point customers coming back to Old Venice THURSDAY · MAY 28, 2015

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

OLD VENICE RESTAURANT As a cornerstone restaurant on the Peninsula, Old Venice is old school. “We were one of the original restaurants in the Point Loma area,” said Winston MaGinnis, head of catering/marketing at the family-owned and operated establishment at 2910 Canon St. “We just celebrated our 35th anniversary.” Current owner Alexander Walter purchased the Italian restaurant more than three decades ago. The restaurant’s longtime general manager is Brett Wilmot. Customers are special at Old Venice and are treated accordingly. “Someone came in the other day and said, ‘We had our one-year anniversary here 25 years ago and we wanted to recreate that night,’” said MaGinnis. “We had the same dishes (we had then) from our little secret menu of past dishes. That made it really special.” “I’m a part of something really nice here,” added MaGinnis. Old Venice is a white-tablecloth, sitdown dinner place. But that’s where the formality ends. “It’s up to you,” said MaGinnis, noting there’s no dress code, though customers typically don’t come in T-shirts and shorts on weekend evenings. “We’re also dog-friendly, all-ages friendly and kid-friendly,” he said. “We have great kids menus. We really appeal to everyone.” A recent addition at Old Venice is live

jazz music. “Jazz 88.3 does a 1 ½-hour set every Sunday with award-winning musicians,” said MaGinnis. “The second half of the show they allow younger musicians to come in and jam. It’s been a real success.” Old Venice head chef George Calvario talked about the restaurant’s unique synthesis of northern Italian and American cuisine, revealing the secret of the menu’s ongoing success. “The food is constant, always the same, the same recipes, specialties of the house, fish of the day,” Calvario said noting that ‘familiarity’ keeps regulars coming back for seconds. And the restaurant is in a prime location. “It’s in a real secure area, very quiet,” said Calvario. “It’s right next to all the yacht clubs,”

Two-Thirds of Americans Still Do Not Know What a 529 Plan is, according to Edward Jones Study 83% of Americans Say They Cannot Afford the Cost of College Two-thirds (66 percent) of Americans still don't know what a 529 plan is, according to the annual 529 Plan Awareness Survey from financial services firm Edward Jones. In its fourth year monitoring college savings awareness, the survey found that only 34 percent of Americans could correctly identify a 529 plan as a college savings tool from among four potential options, up slightly from 30 percent in 2014 but down compared to the inaugural 2012 survey (37 percent). These college savings plans were first offered to Americans in 1996. "Despite headlines focused on the increasingly high costs of college, we still see a significant number of Americans who aren't aware of one of the most important long-term savings vehicles that can help minimize the impact that the cost of education has on families," said John McKean, an Edward Jones Financial Advisor in Point Loma. "Demographically, people are living longer and having children later in life, narrowing the time between a child's college bills and his or her parents' retirement age. This, coupled with the fact that the cost of college is increasing at a much higher rate than inflation, means that many are grappling with how to stay on track to meet savings goals." Awareness varied by several factors including household income, size and number of children. Respondents with a household income of $100,000 or more were significantly more likely to correctly identify 529 plans (58 percent), than those with less than $35,000 (only 25 per-

cent). Similarly, awareness also increased depending on household size and number of children. Americans with a household of three or more people reflected more awareness (40 percent) than those with a household of two people (30 percent). Surprisingly, respondents with children ages 13-17 years were actually less likely to correctly identify the college savings plan than those with children under the age of 13 (35 percent versus 41 percent, respectively). The High Cost of College The survey also asked respondents to indicate whether or not they believe they can afford the full cost of a college for themselves or a family member.While male respondents were twice as likely to indicate "yes" than their female counterparts (21 percent compared to 11 percent of women), overwhelmingly, Americans say they simply can't afford the cost (83 percent). Interestingly, even higher income levels did little to help, with just 37 percent of the highest earning respondents (those making $100,000 a year or more in household income) saying they could afford the cost.

noted MaGinnis. Ambiance is another thing Old Venice dishes out in large portions. “We put romantic candles out on the tables on the patio,” pointed out Calvario. Prices vary at Old Venice. MaGinnis said you can come in and get a great lasagna for $12, or a full lamb meal for $32. “It’s a nice range,” he said. The restaurant also hosts lots of special events: anniversaries, weddings, and birthdays. “Someone called in just the other day and wants to propose to his girlfriend,” said MaGinnis adding, “When you come in here it’s a real sense of family.” The restaurant also recently updated its specialty cocktail menu. Now in addition to the traditional Godfather and Godmother classic Italian cocktails, guests can order bourbon whiskeyinspired drinks, which they can sip while munching on appetizers like steamed mussels or a cheese board. And don’t forget desserts, which, like everything else on the menu, are special whether you order a tiramasu, a gelato, a cheesecake, or crème brulet. There are about 50 employees at Old Venice. Many have been there a decade or more. The kitchen at Old Venice is open Wednesdays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 4 to 9 p.m. Sundays.

"While the cost continues to be a major concern, Americans still recognize the value of a college education, so finding ways to manage those costs becomes paramount in the process," said McKean.

Midway group briefed on city's climate action plan BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Climate change, the status of medical marijuana dispensaries, an opening on the board and homelessness were vetted at the May meeting of the Midway Community Planning Group. Environmental advocate Brian Elliott, an organizer for the nonprofit Climate Action Campaign, filled planners in on goals the city has for becoming more energy sustainable by discouraging solovehicle travel and encouraging mass transit, cycling and other travel alternatives. Elliott gave a slideshow presentation detailing a draft climate action plan being considered by the city. The ultimate goal of that plan is to convert to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035. The campaigner said the city has a long way to go to meet that target. “The majority, 87 percent, of current energy consumption comes from coal and natural gas that are causing greenhouse emissions,” Elliott said, adding the idea is to gradually switch over to cleanenergy alternatives. “In San Diego, solar is obviously a big one (option),” Elliott said, adding transportation, at 54 percent of total energy use, is the activity that relies the most on nonrenewable fossil fuels. Elliott said the first step in converting from nonrenewable to renewable energy sources is to get more than half of the population out of their cars and into a “multi-modal experience,” such as combining cycling and mass transit. “Where does the money come from to make the transition and meet the

goals so this plan has some real life to it?” asked board member Cathy Kenton. “The goals increase over time as people adapt,” answered Elliott, adding the cost of making the energy conversion will likely be accomplished via numerous funding options. Elliott added one benefit of passing a Climate Action Plan is that it will serve as a “policy document giving planning groups such as yours the opportunity to have input through the process.” Group chair Melanie Nickel pointed out mass transit is inconvenient in San Diego and that that will likely be an impediment in implementing any Climate Action Plan. San Diego Police Department liaison David Surwilo said the department is continuing to have a dialogue with community members on resolving homelessness issues. He said homelessness is a complex and vexing problem, partly because police and social service workers can offer help and alternatives to street people but that their participation is entirely voluntary. Nickel gave an update on the status of 17 applications evaluated by the group from medical marijuana dispensaries seeking to open legally in the Midway area. She said only two proposed dispensaries, at 3452 Hancock St. and 3225 Bean St., have thus far been approved by the city. Both those proposals have been appealed to the city planning commission by opponents.

NEWS OPINION Midway area in need of a revitalized BID BY DAVE SCHWAB AND MELANIE NICKEL

‘We need some people

Calling all community servants. There’s an urgent need to “rekindle” an effort begun more than a year ago to reconstitute and revitalize a Business Improvement District (BID) for the Midway area. The area could use a new BID, which is a defined area within which businesses pay an additional tax (or levy) in order to fund projects within the district's boundaries. The BID is often funded primarily through the levy but can also draw on other public and private funding streams. To survive, any new Midway BID must have broad merchant participation and representation. There are unquestionably numerous problems — homelessness and blight, redevelopment of the former Sports Arena come immediately to mind — which are crying out to be addressed. And, it is a watershed time in the area as the Midway Community Planning Group (MCPG), with the aid of the city, is updating its community plan, Midway’s blueprint for future development. Through the plan update process, the community will essentially be redefining what it is and, more important, what it really wants to be. Victor Ravago, a hotelier who until recently was on the MCPG Board, had begun a drive to reactivate the BID. Unfortunately, he has been transferred

to step forward to help create a new BID.’

died. The mother was uninjured. City senior traffic engineers Phil Rust and Kharman Tawfiq gave a presentation with a diagram to Peninsula planners indicating changes the city intends to make to the intersection. “Our short-term proposal is to signalize the right-turn crosswalk,” said Rust. “We will also be restriping the intersection to channelize traffic better in the northbound direction on Catalina, reducing the width of the lane down to 12 feet, installing a continental crosswalk,” said Tawfiq. Continental-, ladder- or zebra-striped treatments make crosswalks more visible to drivers when people are crossing the street and have proven more effective at getting drivers to yield the right-of-way.

We’re very excited to come back with a beautiful state-of-the-art building to serve the community,” he said. It won’t happen as soon as he’d like – he originally envisioned a July 4 opening – but Hirmez said he’s making enough progress on obtaining the necessary permits to open “sometime this year.” Hirmez said he bought the building in 2001, when he began to have “issues” with his then-landlord, Elliot Megdal, a Los Angeles-based Realtor. The building, most recently the home of Rock Paper

out of the immediate area and will likely no longer be able to continue to spearhead the Midway BID-creation effort. Therefore, someone needs to step forward and take Ravago’s place. Referring to the desirability of creating a new BID, and what it would mean, Melanie Nickel, MCPG chair, said: “About 10 years ago or so, the Midway business community agreed to start up a Business Improvement District. While it was in operation it did great things for the Midway area. It produced advertising to bring customers into the Midway retail areas. It planted street trees, did regular clean-up projects, and partnered with homeless organizations to make them and their clients into positive contributors to the community.” “A new BID could do all that and more,” continued Nickel. “We need some people to step forward to help create a new BID. “They don't have to do it alone; the city has a whole department just for

helping establish and maintain BIDs.” Noting that the former Midway BID website is “inactive and the e-mail attached to it is dead,” Nickel said she is willing to “try to work with volunteers to get a new BID group started.” One thing’s for certain: BIDs have proven track records nationwide, demonstrating that they can: • Unify businesses to work toward a common goal, which often economically revitalizes business districts. • Mitigate retail sales leakage by allowing the area to compete more effectively for regional market share through the generation of greater local marketing resources and strengths. • Support area businesses through commercial recruitment, retention and promotion as well as through the sponsorship of “shop at home” and imagebuilding campaigns. • Create a strong unified voice to represent business interests to local government agencies. • Fund other projects such as clean-up programs, decorations, parks and special events. • Assist in leveraging public and private resources for program activities and development projects and other commercial revitalization efforts. Anyone interested in doing a real community service in helping to shepherd through a new Midway BID should contact Melanie Nickel at melanien@stanfordalumni.org.

“A pedestrian, push-button-activated traffic signal at the crosswalk will also be relocated to the other side of the street,” said Tawfiq. In addition, northbound Catalina will be reduced to one lane. The right lane on northbound Catalina Boulevard will become a right-turn-only lane to Canon Street instead of accommodating through and turning traffic, as it does today. Additional signage will be installed along Catalina Boulevard to alert drivers that the right lane will eventually become a right-turn-only lane. Once the necessary permitting approvals are obtained, the city engineers said it would take approximately two months to make short-term changes to the intersection, which will also include putting in new signage. Board planner Nicole Burgess noted allowance needs to be made by the city for marking bike lanes crossing that

intersection. Planner Jay Shumacher added the city needs to consider delivery trucks going to a Fresh & Easy near the intersection when determining how to make the problem intersection safer. Audience members pointed out the area is especially dangerous because it has become a de facto drag strip for cars. One neighbor noted that a flashing speed sign installed by the city hasn’t worked in discouraging speeding there. “We want to take input from all of you; that’s why we’re here,” said Rust. “We can come back later with long-term ideas (for improving the intersection).” The engineers promised to return later to the advisory group to update it before changes at the intersection are made. The group will next meet from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, June 18 at the Point Loma/Hervey Library, 3701 Voltaire St., in the Community Room.

Scissors, has been vacant for several years. The small size of the building will require some adjustments. There won’t be room for detergents, beauty products and other items typically found at a grocery store, Hirmez said. Furthermore, “There’s no reason for it” with the proximity of two drug stores – CVS and Rite-Aid. But shoppers who expect and prefer natural foods will not be disappointed, Hirmez said. At least 40 percent of foodstuffs will be organic. “We know the community wants this,” he said. As for alcohol, Hirmez said police have approved the transfer of his license from the former location to sell beer, wine and spirits – though final approval from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Department is pending. To gain police support, Hirmez said he agreed to several conditions, including: no single cans of beer,

no half-pints or miniature bottles of spirits, no fortified wines and no sales after midnight. No protests were filed when Hirmez applied for alcohol at the new location – in stark contrast to the contentiousness that erupted when CVS applied for a liquor license at the old Apple Tree location, Hirmez noted. He said it’s a tribute to the solid reputation and goodwill he earned at the previous location. “Zero protests (to a liquor license application) are absolutely unheard of in a beach community. That’s a testament to the community and our neighbors that they want their store back,” he said. “Our intention has never been to run a liquor store. Our intention is to run a grocery store,” he added.

San Diego Surfrider Chapter launches Ocean Friendly Restaurants campaign Three Ocean Beach eateries make the friendly list

San Diego Surfrider chair discusses chapter's role in maintaining beaches, bays and ocean BY THOMAS MELVILLE | THE BEACON Earlier this month on the deck at Paradise Point Resort, just as the sun started to set over Mission Bay, Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter chair Mark West looked over his right shoulder to see the golden hour glow growing. “See that? That's what it's all about,” he said, as he waved his arms toward the bay. “That's why we're here.” “Here” was at the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter’s 15th annual Art Gala, which raised $34,000 to help protect the region's coastline and directly benefit the organization’s education, outreach and advocacy directed at protecting local beaches. The event, which was held Friday, May 8, celebrated ocean advocacy while showcasing local artists and raising funds. “It was a thrill to see so many enthusiastic activists and supporters gathered for the event,” said new San Diego Chapter manager Mandy Sackett. While the activists and supporters bid on artwork, nibbled on orange chicken and drank Stone IPA, West was working the room making and re-establishing connections for the nonprofit. Right before sunset, The Peninsula Beacon caught up with him to discuss Surfrider and the role it plays in maintaining the area's coastal areas. PB: How would you describe the Surfrider Foundation? Mark West: I would say that the Surfrider Foundation is all about making sure that each person can go to the beach, enjoy their day at the beach, spend their time in the ocean, spend their time in the waves, and have a great experience. This is a California treasure that so many people take for granted, but we don’t. We work to protect our oceans, waves, and beaches so everyone can use them. PB: Why is the Surfrider Foundation important? MW: Our mission is to protect the ocean, waves, and beaches through a powerful activist network. What we do is we actually take all people who are passionate about our ocean, our beaches, our bays, and get together and really work toward cleaning them up, prevent-

ing pollution from getting into them. We even do stuff like ocean-friendly gardens where we’re thinking about the drought and how we can plant oceanfriendly gardens out there that are really California specific; they require no water, and they actually have less runoff as well.

The Surfrider Foundation’s San Diego County Chapter has launched the Ocean Friendly Restaurants campaign, which aims to reduce beach pollution by working with the San Diego County restaurant community to voluntarily reduce the use of plastic food service items, including Styrofoam containers, plastic bags and disposable cups and utensils. “Disposable plastic food-service items made up nearly half of all garbage picked up by Surfrider and Coastkeeper in 2014 during organized beach cleanup efforts,” said Jason Rubin, cochair of Surfrider’s Rise Above Plastics Committee. “This means that restaurants can have a tremendous impact on our ocean and beaches by adopting ocean-friendly practices.” The inaugural restaurants in the campaign are: Lazy Hummingbird Cafe, Raglan Public House and Wonderland Ocean Pub in Ocean Beach; Bareback Grill and Bayside Landing in Pacific Beach; the Burger Lounge chain; Queenstown Public House in Lit-

tle Italy; Snooze A.M. Eatery in Del Mar and Hillcrest. “This is an important project that will have wide-ranging benefits for our beaches and bays,” said San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner. Hoffman Leung, co-owner of Wonderland Ocean Pub, said, “Polystyrene foam has been the go-to material for take-out containers for decades, mainly for its low cost and effective heat insulation. But it’s also created a problem for our environment, not to mention our city as a whole.” The campaign rewards restaurants that agree to voluntary practices that decrease beach and ocean pollution. Restaurants that adopt ocean-friendly requirements are eligible for significant marketing and promotional support from Surfrider. “This is an inclusive campaign with broad-based support that spans the business community and the greater restaurant industry,” said Mark West, Surfrider’s San Diego County chair.

ARTS 8 Summer will be ARTrageous at Liberty Station; Comic Art Gallery opens in June THURSDAY · MAY 28, 2015

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON NTC Arts & Culture District’s evolution continues and is being showcased in the district’s ARTrageous summer program. The fast-growing arts and culture district in Liberty Station is adding to its dozens of ongoing exhibits, classes, workshops and free activities by opening up a new museum, IDW Publishing’s Comic Art Gallery, on June 5. The new museum’s first exhibit will be the work of Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. It’s just one of many new developments — with more to come soon — in the NTC Arts & Culture District, which still has room to grow. “Eastman will be having a studio right next to the (art) gallery,” said NTC Foundation executive director Alan Ziter, who added that the addition of IDW Publishing and its comic gallery is likely to serve as a catalyst spurring growth and building the cultural district’s reputation while attracting even more artists. “IDW Publishing wanted to be around other creative people, and this (NTC) was the place they chose,” pointed out Ziter, who invited other artists to join in. “The good news is we have nine more buildings to renovate, further implementing the community’s vision here,” Ziter said, adding NTC’s Art & Culture District has become one of the most active of the city of San Diego’s mandated arts and cultural districts. NTC Art & Culture District’s summer of fun will include, but is not limited to, the following exhibits and activities:

LIBERTY STATION Enjoy a Historic San Diego Golf Course Dating back to the early 1900s, The Loma Club was originally part of the historic San Diego Country Club, which merged with A.G. Spalding’s Point Loma Golf Club in 1914 to create a San Diego landmark that has been in existence for over a century. Located in the Naval Training Center (now Liberty Station), the course was utilized by the Navy during the 1920s for physical fitness and recruit training. While serving in the Navy, the legendary Sam Snead acted as the head Golf Professional. Formerly known as Sail Ho Golf Course, the club attracted talent such as Craig Stadler and Phil Mickelson in Junior Golf Tournaments throughout the years.

DROUGHT Amid the drought, artificial turf concept holds water BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON (This is the first in a series of articles on energy sustainability and what homeowners can do in response to the continuing drought.) With rainfall levels diminishing and water rates increasing, San Diegans are searching for ways to save water, energy and money during the ongoing drought, which is leading more than a few residents to consider turning in their waterguzzling, high-maintenance grass lawns for synthetic turf. There are pros and cons to either keeping natural lawns or using a synthetic surface. The artificial turf may have major upfront capital costs but in the long run can end up saving money in time and maintenance. The fact is, natural grass is one of the most water-intensive plants a landscape can have. High-water demand and frequent maintenance make it a time-consuming and expensive yard option. At a minimum, grass lawns need to be cut during the summer months. However, a lush lawn typically requires periodic fertilization as well as irrigation during dry weather. Insecticide may also be required if grubs, fleas or other insect pests are present. Artificial lawns are much easier to care for than real grass, requiring no cutting, fertilizing or irrigation. They also do not attract insects. Synthetic grass that gets dirty can simply be hosed off. Artificial grass may also make the inside of your home a bit easier to care for, with no dirt or mud tracked in. Pacific Beach resident Victor Grigorian made the switch from natural grass to artificial turf and is glad he did.

“I did my front yard in 2009, and then a year later I put it in my backyard,” he said, adding there were three main reasons for making the change. “I had retired, and I wanted to make my life easier and not have to deal with the responsibility of maintaining a yard,” Grigorian said. “I was also conscious about water concerns, and they (turf installers) were offering a rebate.” Grigorian’s “very satisfied” with the end result, adding, “What I lose in it not looking like real grass, I made up for in not having to mow it once a week and fertilize it a couple times a year.” Concerning the pluses and minuses of synthetic turf versus natural grass, Grigorian noted, “The only down side is that the (artificial) grass can get hot (in bright sun) at certain times of the day. It can make it difficult if you’re gardening. You also wouldn’t want small children out there playing on it during those times when they might get burned.” Although artificial turf may be easier to care for than the real thing, artificial turf does not feel exactly the same as real grass. Many homeowners also struggle with the sound of artificial turf, which makes a soft rustling when walked on. Also, while the feel of artificial grass may not be quite the same as the real thing, the look of a high-end synthetic can easily fool your friends and neighbors. Grigorian said he can live with his synthetic grass not always looking like the real item. “I will challenge you to tell me it (synthetic turf) doesn’t look like real grass at certain times of the day,” he said, “especially if you’re driving by (from a distance).”

However on the negative side, artificial turf installation costs significantly more than traditional sod. Installing synthetic turf requires that the old yard be dug up, a layer of sand be placed and leveled, a layer of rubber pellets be installed and the artificial turf laid on top of it all. When comparing the prices, though, it is important to remember that real grass also requires ongoing maintenance expenses for mowing, insect control and irrigation, while artificial turf does not incur these ongoing maintenance costs and lasts 15 to 20 years. Statistics show that synthetic grass for landscaping and recreation is growing 10 to 15 percent a year nationwide, which means more and more homeowners are using fakes for lawns, dog runs, play areas, pool surrounds, rooftops, putting greens and decorative borders between patio pavers. It’s several times more expensive to install synthetic grass than to put in natural grass sod. Studies show it takes about seven years for maintenance-free artificial grass to recoup its initial cost. The pluses of artificial grass are that it saves water, is easy to maintain and can be environmentally friendly. On the down side, artificial grass is not completely maintenance-free. It can’t absorb and break down pet urine, it heats up in direct sun, it can’t be recycled and it has been banned by some homeowners associations and municipalities. As part of its drought-response efforts, the San Diego County Water Authority has launched a pilot program designed to help bring down the cost of replacing water-intensive grass with artificial turf.

our parks, fire stations, libraries, and streets.” The report found that the 80 arts and culture nonprofit organizations received $6.4 million in funding from the Commission for Arts and Culture and stimulated the economy with over $191 million in expenditures. These nonprofits employ a workforce of 6,268 employees supported by 12,853 volunteers. This investment provided opportunities for 468,440 people to participate in school and community group visits, giving youth firsthand exposure to the arts, and 43 neighborhood events, which encourage residents to participate in a creative, engaged, civic life. The report notes that economic activity created by cultural tourists – visitors who spend more and stay longer than the average tourist – is particularly important to San Diego. In 2013-2014, 1.6 million visitors participated in arts and cultural events, supporting the local economy, including spending

In April 2015, San Diego was recognized by the National Geographic Channel documentary, “World’s Smart Cities: San Diego,” for its strong technology sector, local innovators, and smart planning, and San Diego’s lifestyle rich in art, cultural diversity and natural beauty. “San Diego’s creative nonprofits – ranging from museums to symphonies to theaters and more – are tremendously important as an economic driver for the region, but it’s not just the revenue that these organizations generate that makes them so essential to the community.” added Rebecca Smith, Commissioner. “These organizations also stimulate the minds of our youth, teaching them critical skills necessary to become future leaders and innovators.” For more information, and to view the full report, visit www.vibrantcityvibrantculture.com or call (619) 236-6800 for copies.

ing dry mouth and provide a list of medications you are taking. Chewing ice This habit can hurt tooth enamel and leave your teeth vulnerable to decay or other damage. Citrus foods A diet in fruits and vegetables is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. However, too much exposure to acidic foods—particularly citrus fruits—can spell trouble. Not only can the acids in oranges and lemons wear away at enamel, they can agitate and irritate mouth sores. Any food that can get stuck in the teeth We’re looking at you, popcorn, potato chips, and even white bread. Anything that transforms to a gummy consistency when chewed or has small pieces like popcorn husks– can lodge between teeth, making it difficult to remove and setting a perfect stage for tooth decay to take control. If you have any of these habits, put an effective action plan in place to help prevent tooth decay and damage that can result. For example: instead of chewing ice to cool down, drink water instead. Staying hydrated can also help you if you are suffering from dry mouth. Diligently flossing and cleaning teeth after eating popcorn or corn on the cob can help prevent pieces from getting stuck between teeth, where they can harbor bacteria. But most important, be sure you have a professional dental cleaning scheduled twice a year.

Point Loma sophomore wins CIF singles tennis championship BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON

The Pointers boys lacrosse team took the Central League championship with a 6-4 record (11-8 overall).

Pointers teams earn three league titles in spring sports BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Athletes at Point Loma High School brought home three league championships and barely missed another during a very successful spring showing.

Point Loma sophomore Keegan Smith celebrates his CIF singles tennis championship last week after defeating No. 1 seed Billy PHOTO BY MARK TRUVER Rowe of Coronado.

"It was pretty hard playing him," Smith said two days after the match, "but he texted me that night, and today we're playing as doubles partners in another tournament, so we're still best friends." Not yet halfway through high school, Smith won his second CIF title after teaming with classmate Ivan Thamma to win the doubles championship last year.

Boys swimming For a boys swimming team that does not have any divers, Point Loma High's second straight undefeated season and league championship is even more remarkable. The Pointers automatically forfeit each meet's diving points to their opponents, so it must compensate by its performance in the swimming events. And still, the water Dogs floated to the top of the Eastern League standings on the strength of a tense battle against Serra High that came down to the 400meter freestyle relay. Leading 84-72, the Pointer team of Kealan Harris, Miles Koupal, Brendan McMahon and Chase Schaffer finished first, while teammates Joe McCannon, Sam McKay, Noah Stevenson and Trent Webster took second to secure the league title. All eight qualified for the City Conference meet in addition to Max Adler, Michael Damsky, Jackson Daubner, Caleb Hareb, Naone Hasenstab, Kyle Miller, Erik Robinson, Kaynin Vaughn, Adam Watson and Sean Webster. Harris recorded the fastest times in five of eight events to lead the team. The team's coaches include Joshua Fulks, Ken Toma, Jeromy Schultheiss and Jerry Rich.

Point Loma High School sophomore Keegan Smith fought through a raindelayed three-hour match last Friday, May 22, at the local Barnes Tennis Center to defeat top-seeded Billy Rowe of Coronado and win the CIF singles tennis championship. For his feat, Smith was also named CIF Player of the Year. After earlier winning the Eastern League singles title, Smith was seeded below the top eight players in a cluster of the next eight, labeled "9-16." But he proved tournament organizers wrong. Winning his first two matches, Smith found himself in the semifinals against No. 2 seed Rae Lan of Westview. Smith dispatched him in straight sets, 6-2 and 6-4. Facing Rowe, a junior, in the finals was ironic for both players, who practice together several times a week and have become best friends. The rain delay came in the final set after Smith had won the opening set 76 before dropping a 3-6 second set. With the third set score tied 3-3, light drizzle forced a 12-minute delay, and Smith seemed energized upon returning, taking the title by a 6-4 score. Did their friendship survive?

Boys lacrosse The team took the Central League championship with a 6-4 record (11-8 overall). Sophomore William Price led the team in scoring with 29 goals and eight assists for 37 points. Classmate Jerry Piotrowski was second with 17 goals and seven assists for 24 points. Senior Cole Scadden played every game in goal and posted a 5.1 goals against average for the Pointers. In a first-round Div. II CIF playoff game, the No. 5-seeded Pointers were defeated 8-1 by No. 12-seeded Del Norte, which was winless in the Palomar League and 5-12 overall. Pointer head coach Alex Golland and staff are looking forward to a more experienced squad in the future from a roster made up of four juniors, 13 sophomores and eight freshmen. Only four seniors will leave.

Sophomore Keegan Smith won the Eastern League singles title after teammate Ivan Thamma, also a sophomore, was forced to withdraw with an injury. Earlier, the two, playing doubles, reached the finals of the prestigious 115th annual Ojai Invitational tournament. Thamma, the No. 3 seed in CIF singles, went to the semifinals before dropping his match to top-seeded Billy Rowe of Coronado in a marathon 6-4, 4-6, 10-8 match. Freshman Colton O'Connell and sophomore Alex Schuster, playing in the CIF Doubles tournament, won two matches before losing to a pair of La Jolla High players in the "round of 16."

Other sports Boys volleyball just missed an Eastern League title, finishing 10-2 (18-13 overall), just behind 11-1 Patrick Henry. Henry's only league loss was dealt by the Pointers in a memorable 3-1 match last month in the Pointer gym. But Henry downed the Pointers twice in earlier season matches on the Patriots' floor.

U.S. Olympian Meb Keflezighi will return to his hometown streets of San Diego to run the Suja Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Half Marathon at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 31. The race has been selected to host the USATF Masters Half Marathon National Championships. and Meb will make his masters debut at the event. He previously won the halfmarathon in 2011 and 2012. Keflezighi, the former New York City and Boston Marathon champion and the 2004 Olympic marathon silver medalist, turned 40 May 5. With excellent weather conditions, solid competition and history on its side, it figures the race will yield fast times for the elite masters. In 2013, the event produced the fastest half-marathon on U.S. soil, when Kenya’s Bernard Koech won in 58 minutes, 41 seconds. “I was debating whether I should pace the Suja Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Half Marathon like I did last year or race it,” says Keflezighi, who finished eighth at the Boston Marathon last month in 2 hours, 12 minutes, 42 seconds. “Since my recovery from the Boston Marathon has gone well, I’ve decided to race. I am looking forward to my first competition as a masters athlete and know I am very fortunate to run my first masters race in my hometown of San Diego.” Keflezighi has cemented himself as one of the most accomplished distance runners in U.S. history. Among his accolades, the San Diego High School graduate was a 12-time All-American at UCLA, won 22 U.S. national championships and earned a silver medal in the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Most notably, he won the 2014 Boston Marathon, becoming the first American man to win the historic running event since 1983. For the first time in 2015, marathon

SUMMER FUN 14 Summer fun with Bianca – OB’s Dog Beach and then a nice bath THURSDAY · MAY 28, 2015

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY BIANCA WEINSTEIN | THE BEACON The other day, I was playing with my boxer Shila, and I thought it would be a great idea to take her to Ocean Beach's Dog Beach. I packed up the car and headed out to let her run around and play. Dog Beach is an off-leash beach located at the north end of Ocean Beach, and it is the only 24-hour dog beach in the San Diego area. Before we even got out of the car, Shila was already excited and wagging her little tail. Once her paws hit the sand, Shila was off running around, meeting the other dogs. She became instant friends with some golden retrievers and was having the time of her life running and chasing a ball into the water. After meeting all the friendly dogs, Shila was worn out and ready to take a nap. Before Shila could go home, I took her to Dog Beach Dog Wash to give her a bath. The dog wash is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the last dog wash 30 minutes prior to closing. The dog wash includes warm water, shampoo, a grooming mitt, washcloths, an apron, towels and a brush, all for just $14. For an additional $2.50, you can use a specialty shampoo, such as hypoallergenic, flea and tick (pyrethrin or neem), coat brightening (black, bronze or whitener), moisturizing shampoo and a few more choices depending on your dog's needs. If you want your dog's coat conditioned, you can use conditioners such as aloe vera, chamomile and oatmeal for an additional $2.50 and aloe remoisturizer for $3.50. After considering the shampoo choices and conditioners, I opted for the reg-

17 Veronica Quin 'on the cusp' of something bigger BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON

Ocean Beach is known as a haven for artists, so it’s no surprise that Veronica Quin, yet another talented singer-songwriter, has made the area her home. Though now making a name as a solo entertainer, Quin can also be seen around town performing with the group Girl Band as well as playing Cajun (percussion) with another noted local singersongwriter, Skyler Lutes. Upon wrapping up a West Coast tour earlier this year, Imperial Beach native Quin began work on her untitled debut album. A regular performer at the OB Warehouse, listeners will find a wonderful group of songs mixing folk and pop elements with her sweet, melodious voice. Quin got her start playing local open mic nights at the age of 16. “I remember begging my mom for a guitar when I was younger,” she said. “I wanted to be just like Jewel, she is one of my favorite artists.” That inspiration ran deeper than just strumming a six-string. “I play mostly covers,” she explained. “The favorites right now are 'Riptide' by Veronica Quin mixes folk and pop elements with her sweet, melodious voice. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED Vance Joy and 'Lights' by Ellie Goulding. However, I also write all my own music and lyrics, and there I’m inspired by artists like Bob Dylan and Jewel as well as by all my friends and people I’ve met doing open mics.”

‘My goal isn’t to be a huge star, and I think that takes a lot of the pressure and stress out of doing this. It’s something I love to do and we’ll see where it goes.’ VERONICA QUIN OCEAN BEACH RESIDENT For Quin, the best thing that’s happened is meeting new people at those open mics and her family's reaction to her craft. “It’s been great meeting so many talented people that have become such good friends of mine,” she said. “Meanwhile, my family is so supportive; they are my biggest fans. I can’t wait to put out my first EP, because their love has really inspired a lot of it.” Quin is comfortable in her role as band member or backing musician in her other projects, but her preference is in her solo performances. “I think I prefer playing on my own because of the challenge it presents,” she said “There is no one to lean on but yourself. (That said), playing with a band is always a lot of fun.” Quin has made an impression on promoter Shawn Balch, best known for his Sunday afternoon acoustic music series

at the Kona Kai Resort. “I feel like she’s on the cusp of something bigger,” he said. “She has an easy, honest voice and is really proactive. Sometime, she gets flyers out about shows before I do.” Balch has recently begun booking music alongside musician Trent Hancock at the OB Warehouse and plans to bring Quin into the venue’s line-up. “She’s got real strong cross-appeal,” Balch continued. “Her originals are really solid, but what makes her such a great choice for these sorts of performances, which can run for several hours, is her range of covers. Mixing up a few classics with more current tunes really reaches out to a wide audience, always important at a gig that’s located in a restaurant.” Visitors to Quin’s website will find a 20-minute set recorded by Balch at the Kona Kai earlier this year, capturing her in good form. “It really seems like she’s ready to take off,” Balch said. “The recording just confirms what a good entertainer she is.” With a debut album in the works and more live work ahead, Quin is happy with her choice of a life making music. “My goal isn’t to be a huge star, and I think that takes a lot of the pressure and stress out of doing this,” she said. “It’s something I love to do, and we’ll see where it goes.” For more info, visit veronicaquin.com.

“CHISELED: A Memoir of Identity, Duplicity and Divine Wine,” Danuta Pfeiffer’s story of her unwed teenage motherhood and her marriage colored with deceit and substance abuse, will be the topic of discussion at the Women's Museum of California, Liberty Station, on Sunday, June 7 at 4 p.m. with Pfeiffer reading from her book. San Diego audiences may remember Pfeiffer as the co-host of “Sun-Up San Diego,” which aired on KFMBTV during the 1980s. That was then. Her life's later chapters begin with

her experience as an unwed teenage mother escaping to the wilds of Alaska; her eventual life in journalism and sidekick on televangelist Pat Robertson’s “The 700 Club” (including her dismissal from the show); losing and finding her sons and her discovery of her beloved father’s secrets. Today, Danuta and her husband Robert tend their 70-acre Oregon vineyard and winery. “CHISELED” was published in February and can be purchased for $15.95 on amazon.com or danutapfeiffer.com.

Many seniors retire from one career and immediately jump back into the workforce. Seniors often continue to work for financial reasons, to supplement their retirement income and make it last longer, but others are rejoining the workforce to give back and feel productive. A recent Gallup survey found that 63 percent of workers planned to work part-time when they reached retirement age, the majority saying they would do it because they wanted to. Seniors returning to work are very focused on work/life issues, pursuing employment that is personally satisfying and allows them time to pursue travel, enrichment and family activities. A local company, Seniors Helping Seniors, offers a unique opportunity for retirees to remain active in the workforce, supplement retirement income and help other seniors. The company matches active seniors with seniors who need some assistance to remain independent. Visit www.homecareforseniors.com or call 800-481-2488 to learn more about the program.

Robber given seven years for multiple hold-ups in Mission Beach, Ocean Beach BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON An armed robber charged with holding up 11 people on the same night in La Jolla, Ocean Beach, Mission Beach and elsewhere was sentenced Monday to seven years in state prison. Restitution to the victims of Joseph Andres Garcia, of San Diego, will be determined in a later hearing. San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh gave Garcia credit for a year in jail and fined him $4,533. Before his arrest, Garcia, 20, posted this question on his Facebook page: “Who knows how to unlock an iPhone 4?” The iPhone 4 is the type stolen from a UCSD student on Feb. 2, 2014. That tip led to Garcia's arrest three days later. Garcia pleaded guilty to two robbery charges, and the other hold-up and attempted robbery charges were dismissed after Garcia agreed on April 20 to accept the seven-year sentence. The getaway driver, Benjamin Hernandez, 24, of National City, will be sentenced May 27 after he pleaded guilty to committing two robberies. Hernandez faces a maximum six-year sentence. One of the victims remembered his car license tag; the information led to his arrest on Feb. 3, 2014. The robberies started in Ocean Beach at 6:50 p.m. on Feb. 2, 2014, when three men on Cape May near Cable Street were approached by the robbers and a juvenile. One bandit held a tire iron. The men had their cell phones, cigarettes and a lighter stolen. Later, a man lost his cell phone and another man lost his wallet containing $2, credit cards and ID cards on First Avenue in Hillcrest, according to the probation report. Another man was then robbed of $250 in his wallet. Another man who was standing outside his apartment that evening had a gun held to his head; his phone was stolen, and one man hit him in the back with a tire iron. The last group robbed comprised UCSD students sitting on a bench outside a school gym. One man held a tire iron, and the students were robbed of their cell phones, student IDs, wallets and credit cards.
