Brown pelicans flood the coastal skies Observers and experts have noted a growing brown pelican population along San Diego’s coastline. Photo by Mike McCarthy I The Beacon
BY MIKE MCCARTHY | THE BEACON isitors to the San Diego coastline have been treated to an ongoing show starring the brown pelican. The usual sight of two or so flocks of pelicans soaring over places like Sunset Cliffs in Point Loma has recently grown to two or so dozen seabirds at one time. Experts in this field appear to have mixed opinions for the reasons behind the large numbers of pelicans that have been appearing for several months. “There seems to be no real scientific explanation for this phenomenon,” said Andrew Hughan, public information officer for the California Department of Fish and Game in Sacramento. “At this time, there is no data to support the increased population of brown pelicans in the San Diego region.” Climate changes, the weather and water temperatures are affecting a vast variety of species, including pelicans.
V
Updrafts — created by the wind reflecting off ocean cliffs — provide the ideal conditions for this seabird to glide effortlessly over the water. The California brown pelican can be found from northern Mexico up to the Oregon border. At one time, it was considered an endangered species because of their declining population. In 2009, the pelican was removed from the endangered list after their numbers recovered. It was discovered that use of pesticides like DDT was taking its toll on the pelican population, as well as several other seabirds feeding off of the ocean coast. Farmers in places like Imperial Valley were using pesticides that would eventually filter into the Pacific Ocean’s food chain. The result was that pelican egg shells became thinner and were being crushed by the weight of the large bird. Conservation efforts eventually eliminated the pollutants, and the pelican population slowly grew. Past oil spills also added to the demise
of seabirds. The environmental movement was energized by the publicity from the Santa Barbara Union Oil spill in 1969. The federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 was the first legislation to protect seabirds. The Endangered Species Act of 1966 permitted individual states to adopt regulations that would give greater protection to migratory birds. Spokespersons from agencies like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department said they are aware of the situation with the brown pelican near San Diego. Expert opinions about the re-emergence of the bird’s numbers varies. Most experts agree that pelicans are just simply following the food supply. Some say a heavy concentration of pelicans at local beaches makes it appear that their numbers are rapidly increasing. “Just a one-degree difference in the water temperature makes a big impact on all life in the ocean,” Hughan said. “It’s just good that the pelicans are doing well.”
Ocean Beach Gateway Project still underway A sign from District 2 Councilmember Kevin Faulconer sits attached to a construction fence at the site of the new Ocean Beach Gateway Project. The saga of the project, which began construction last October, continues for residents. Funds for the project have partially come through, but complications with certain materials and confusion over where the remaining funds will come from have delayed completion.

residents Planning Board discusses future of the neighborhood’s urban chickens BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON They don’t shed, cough up hairballs, or drink out of the toilet. And when they relieve themselves, it makes dandy fertilizer. In fact, if there were such a thing as a green pet movement, backyard chickens could become its poster animal. Owners say they remove garden pests naturally, provide a family with wholesome, stick-to-your-ribs protein — in the form of a neardaily egg — and promote good, old-fashioned self-reliance. And they’re even cute. “I could watch them scratch around and wiggle their butts for hours,” said Rachel Hiner, who owns three chickens at her Narragansett Avenue residence in Ocean Beach. It may surprise some to know that, as long as you keep your coop at least 50 feet from any residential structure, the law in San Diego lets you have up to 25 of the critters. But in many
households — especially in OB, where lot sizes are charmingly small — 50 feet may as well be 50 light years. A movement is underfoot to reduce the distance for a coop with five hens or less — no roosters — to 20 feet from the nearest neighbor’s house, and no distance buffer to the owner’s house. Hiner pitched the idea to the Ocean Beach Planning Board (OBPB) at its monthly July 7 meeting. The board declined to take a position, preferring to let the information incubate until a later meeting. But board members said they heard nothing so far that would cause them to give the proposal the bird. Producing eggs at home would be SEE OBPB, Page 8
Beer fest taps Point Loma BY KAI OLIVER-KURTIN | THE BEACON Dozens of local and international craft beers will be on tap for the inaugural San Diego Beer Festival on Sunday, July 17 in Liberty Station. Offering unlimited samples, live music and food trucks, the event follows the popular Los Angeles and Orange County beer festivals. The familiar pours of Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas Brewing Co. and Duvel will be on hand, in addition to Orange County microbrews Inland Empire Brewing Co., SoCal Beer Co., Cosmic Brewery, Bootlegger’s Brewery and The Bruery. San Diegans can sip local favorites like The Lost Abbey, Coronado Brewing Co., Karl Strauss Brewing Co., Stone Brewing Co., Julian Hard Cider and Iron Fist Brewing Co. The festival has also partnered with Live Wire bar in North Park to bring a handpicked selection of the staff’s preferred beers.
Following the ever-popular trend of foodtruck catering, festival visitors can sample fare from Asian Persuasion, Super Q, Two for the Road, Mangiamangia Mobile, Tabe, Devilicious, KalbiQ and Pierogi. Live music reminiscent of that heard at Coachella Music Festival will be provided by the indie-rock tribute band Black Crystal Wolf Kids. Festival proceeds will benefit Noah’s Bark Foundation, a nonprofit committed to finding permanent homes for sheltered or homeless animals in the Los Angeles area. The foundation rescues about 300 pets annually. Funding will help to cover the costs of food, shelter and veterinary bills for the rescued pets. Festival tickets are available for $40 and VIP tickets (includes an additional hour of samples) cost $50. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.drinkeatplay.com/sandiegobeerfest.

For the 42nd year, COMIC-CON invades San Diego BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON San Diego has many great things going for it that draw the public’s attention, from the beautiful beaches to major sporting events. But nothing puts the world’s focus on the area like ComicCon International (CCI). Taking place this year from July 20–24 at the San Diego Convention Center, as well as the streets and venues surrounding it, the soldout event’s 125,000 visitors make it the biggest pop-culture party on the planet. For fans of comics, television, video games, toys or movies, it doesn’t get better than this, with stars and creators all in one place. Among the dozens of celebrities taking part in panels this year will be cast members from FoxTV’s “Glee,” The CW’s “Vampire Diaries” and CBS-TV’s “Big Bang Theory.” And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Last year’s list included everyone from comedy legend Stan Freberg to James Bond actor Daniel Craig, Mad cartoonist Sergio

While it’s certainly crowded, for the most part we think people can get along okay,” said David Glanzer, CCI director of marketing and public relations. If it seems that Comic-Con has taken over the city, your assessment is not far off. “One of the things that we’ve been trying to do over the last couple of years is utilize those area hotels and outdoor places,” Glanzer said. “This year, we may see even more of that, which will allow people to roam freely and do cool stuff not just within the confines of the center but outside as well. And that may make things a little bit more comfortable. Without sounding like a cliché, we really do put on the type show we’d want to attend and while it’s gotten bigger, there’s still an amazingly amount of cool stuff going on.” Some recent media reports have commented that a few major movie companies were going to sit Comic-Con out this year.

THE PENINSULA BEACON
Moviegoers take advantage of a previous “Summer Movie Mania” at Liberty Station. The free series takes place on the last Saturday Photo by Paul Hansen I The Beacon of the month through September.
BY TERRIE LEIGH RELF | THE BEACON Liberty Station in Point Loma is in the midst of its third annual free “Summer Movie Mania” series, drawing families near and far on the last Saturday of each month through September. This year’s series began June 30 with “An Affair to Remember,” bolstered by a Wine Steals tasting event. Erin Dial, director of marketing for Liberty Station Vision, said the first installment of the outdoor movie series drew a large adult crowd, given the nature of the film. But the fun is far from over. There are three more award-winning films slated for this summer. The films begin around 7:30 or 8 p.m., and dance across a brand-
new, 30-foot, high-definition outdoor screen in various locations throughout Liberty Station. • On July 30, the cult-classic “Top Gun,” now celebrating the 25th anniversary of its release, will be flashed on-screen in Ingram Plaza. As many enthusiasts may know, parts of “Top Gun” were filmed at Liberty Station. Dial said that given the significance of the film, organizers expect a good turnout. It will be shown at its historic cinematic site outside Solare Restaurante, looking up at the Historic North Chapel, with the flag and planes flying overhead. • On Aug. 27, science and speculative fiction buffs can feast their eyes on the boxoffice blockbuster “Avatar,” shown in the South Promenade. • On Sept. 24, the final film in the series

Chris will continue the three generation tradition of his family's serving San Diego's jewelry needs in the current Liberty Station Marketplace location in Point Loma. To ease the transition, they are holding a inventory liquidation sale with discounts of up to 60 percent on all merchandise in stock. This is your chance to get the buy of a lifetime on Jacobs & Spadea Jewelers' fabulous selection of rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets in a wide variety of unique designs and styles. This includes Magick cloisonne enameled jewelry, colorful Cortez Pearls from the Sea of Cortez,
Hidalgo enameled jewelry, diamond engagement ring sets from Elma Gil and genuine Venetian glass bead jewelry. July 30th will mark John's final day at the store and the end of the sale. Jacobs & Spadea Jewelers is a full-service fine jewelry store specializing in loose diamonds in all shapes and sizes, most accompanied by a laboratory report from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), or the European Gemological Laboratory (EGL).

will be the animated blockbuster “Toy Story 3,” playing in Harbor Square. Dial said these free movie events provide a golden opportunity to get together with family and friends to enjoy a movie and explore what Liberty Station has to offer. The intent, she said, is to bring the community together to enjoy the summer nights with a fun free activity. Organizers also want to introduce and highlight Liberty Station’s tenants to local residents and to San Diego at large. Organizers suggest an early arrival before the films begin because there are many activities throughout the summer provided by series sponsors like the Corky McMillin Companies, Moment Cycle Sport and San Diego Law Firm. Local businesses and tenants will also
be involved in the movie series. Ace Hardware, for example, will offer an opportunity to win “the best seat in the house,” the Sail Ho Golf Course will host a “putting challenge” with prizes, The San Diego Law Firm will hold a community engagement sweepstakes and the Moment Cycle Sport Triathlon will host a promotion. There will also be a variety of activities for children that include crafts, games and inflatables. Other entertainment includes special performances by Liberty Station tenants and the Corvette Diner Dancers. Additional activities may be added and tailored to specific movie themes, Dial said. Another plus of this outdoor series is that before, during and after the film, visitors to this multi-faceted mall may sate their hunger or thirst at a variety of choice locations. Dial said there’s definitely something for everyone since Liberty Station has a host of restaurants and eateries. In addition to The Tin Fish, Spices Bay Thai Kitchen, and Sushiya, moviegoers can grab a generous juicy burger and fries from the renowned Corvette’s Diner or pizza with panache from Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza. Thirsty guests can visit Wine Steals for a refreshing glass of vino or Oggi’s Pizza & Brewing Company for a California gold blonde ale, a Duck Dive Hefferweissen or a Torrey Pines ITA. For kids of all ages, there will be fresh fruit smoothies from Tropical Smoothie café and wondrous ice cream concoctions at Cold Stone Creamery. There are also art galleries, dance studios, and other businesses with which to become acquainted. Guests are welcome and encouraged to bring their own seats or blankets, to-go meals and snacks and beverages. For more information, visit www.liberty station.com.
BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON A much-ballyhooed document that seeks to meet the region’s transportation needs over the next four decades advocates $196 billion in improvements without doing a whole lot to alleviate everyday traffic woes in the Peninsula. That’s the conclusion of the Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB), which has formally responded with a four-point plan it thinks will aim more directly at traffic problems that have been brewing over the years here. The draft form of the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan was released in April by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Its goal is to project the regional needs for public transit, highways, local streets, bicycling and walking. The public comment period ended on July 8. As bad as traffic may be now, several factors threaten to make it worse: population growth, increased development of Liberty Station, a projected expansion of Naval Base Point Loma and more airport activity.

Ebb and flow of San Diego’s sportfishing industry People in the news Recreational fishing remains strong in Point Loma BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | THE BEACON Ever since Howard Minor and Ralph Miller Sr. converted a water taxi into a fishing boat, the H&M Sportfishing Co. became the model for all West Coast docks and landings. From a Broadway pier in 1935, the two men — plus partners Tony and Bill Hoss — founded the sportfishing company. They found that the ocean’s vast resources of sea life could be converted into a robust business. On April 6, 1935, Mascot II made its maiden voyage to the Coronado Islands with 35 anglers who bagged 136 yellowtail. It would be the start of a great relationship. The San Diego Sport Fisherman’s Association was formed in February 1936 to define fair practices in the industry. Minor played a key role in its development. H&M’s docks, now in Point Loma, provide for 30 privately-owned vessels in roles ranging from half-day excursions to the kelp beds to journeys reaching the tip of Baja California. Deep-sea fishing is enjoyed by thousands of fishers who come from great distances to enjoy days on the water and catches that might produce yellowtail, bluefin, albacore or an occasional white sea bass. The shorter trips produce calico bass, rockfish, sculpin and barracuda. Now, there’s a little competition from the Point Loma Sportfishing’s landing next door, which sports 19 boats. As

What is the difference between a funded and an
unfunded trust? Once you have drafted your Living Trust, there are two important steps to take. The first is to execute your Trust by signing all of the necessary documents in front of witnesses and a Notary Public, where indicated. You must then fund your Trust by transferring your assets into the Trust. It is really quite simple. For example, Virginia Weber with a Quitclaim Deed, you can transfer real Laskowitz “Protecting Family Assets” property from your current ownership to your Trust (some states require different procedures for transferring real property). Such a transfer is not considered to be a sale, therefore no reassesment of your property will take place and no tax consequences will result. Similarly, you need to contact your bank or other financial institutions and request that they change the name on your accounts to the name of your Living Trust. Often the institution will give you a Certification of Trust form. If you need to transfer your stock certificates into your Trust, you should notify your broker and/or the company in which you own shares for specific instructions. When these steps are completed, your Trust is fully funded.

The presentation will be made to the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Recreation Council. The park runs along Sunset Cliffs from Adair Street to the Navy boundary, and from the cliffs to either Sunset Cliffs Boulevard or the Point Loma Nazarene University boundary. Over the years, stormwater has been flowing over the parklands, creating gullies and washing pollutants into the ocean. The city has hired a consultant to study the directions and volumes of these flows and to propose methods to handle the water without damage to the park and to minimize ocean pollution. The plan alternatives will be presented during a public meeting in Jim Howard Hall at Robb Field from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. For more information, contact Paul Jacob, an associate civil engineer with the city’s Park and Recreation Department, at (619) 235-5242 or email PJacob@sandiego.gov.
Doggie Street Festival changes locations
Last year, 130 dogs found new homes at the festival, the largest of its kind in Southern California. Visitors will find a variety of activities, plus information on topics concerning pet care, health, training and well-being. Free to the public and to county rescue groups and shelters, the festival brings together breed-specific organizations with other professionals, including educators, veterinarians, vendors and entertainers for the event that lasts from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Also offered is the free “Ask a Pet Professional� booth, at which guests can have all their pressing pet queries addressed.

At last year’s Doggie Street Festival, 130 Courtesy photo dogs found new homes.
The third annual Doggie Street Festival has moved from its previous home at Liberty Station in Point Loma and will take place Suday, July 31 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, 1 Park Blvd.
Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD) is still accepting clothing donations to be distributed to disadvantaged and homeless veterans during the 2011 “Stand Down San Diego,� scheduled to take place at the VVSD facility from July 15-17. Donations can be dropped off at the VVSD site, located at 4141 Pacific Highway, through the weekend of the “Stand Down.� This is the flagship event for VVSD, providing much-needed support for San Diego’s homeless veterans population. Organizers said the event started 23 years ago and the idea has spread to more than 200 locations across the country. Last year, the San Diego version of “Stand
Beacon reporter wins three journalism awards A Peninsula Beacon writer won three awards in an annual competition presented at the Bali Hai restaurant banquet for the San Diego chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ). Scott Hopkins was awarded first place in feature writing for his story about a local Little League's Challenger division, which allows youngsters with disabilities to play and enjoy baseball. Contest judges commented “This story is very well told, with rich detail, multiple sources and good selection of quotes. This could easily have turned sappy, but the writer wisely didn’t allow that. (The) story also included the time of the next game, so readers could go, and contact information in case they wanted to get involved. Nicely done.� In sports writing, Hopkins earned second place for his account of the Point Loma Pointers' devastating defeat in last season's CIF football semifinal round. And his story about the impressive turnaround of the girl’s volleyball team at PLHS won an honorable mention, also in sports writing. “It's a real pleasure writing for The Beacon,� Hopkins said. “I know many people in Point Loma and Ocean Beach can't wait to receive each issue and read about our community. I've had such great feedback from readers, but I'm also honored to have other professionals recognize my work as well.� — Staff report
Down� attracted nearly 1,000 homeless vets, women and children and provided a variety of services like eye exams, oral surgery, Veterans Administration assistance, employment help, legal services, clothing and about 13,000 meals. For more information, call (619) 497.0142.

OB Gateway project, funds still in limbo

BY BIANCA KOCH | THE BEACON Striving for a more attractive and frequented public area in Ocean Beach, the City of San Diego proposed and started a renovation project partially supported by local families and businesses. Tiles were offered to be purchased and engraved with the organizations’ names embedded into the new walkway. Two work phases were planned to finish the project to secure a safe entry to the park from the street intersection. Now, after several months of ongoing construction noise, dirt and debris, residents are looking at an unfinished site and 13 feet of permanent walls blocking their windows. So far, an approximate 3-foot stone wall has been built, surrounded by a new walkway decorated with tiles, several light fixtures, a drinking fountain and numerous palm trees replacing the old shrubbery lining the sides and center divider of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. A sign by councilmember Kevin Faulconer thanking the public for the new Ocean Beach gateway was installed on construction fencing, blocking access to Robb Field and leaving visitors only two
Funds awarded to OBCDC: According to www.obcdc.org, the following donations have been made toward the OB Gateway Project: • $100,000 donated by the Hervey family in 2006 • $100,000 from District 2 Commercial Development Block Grants (CDBG) in 2007
alternatives into the park: the bike path along the channel or the main park entrance on W. Point Loma Boulevard. In response to the concerns as to why the project has been stalled, Faulconer representative Michael Patton said there had been complications with the tiles that were purchased through the Ocean Beach Construction Development Corporation (OBCDC), who is in charge of the project. The tile must be constructed of a material that can withstand the procedure of engraving as well as being coarse enough to match the stone wall, Patton said. He added that the initial tile choice by OBCDC failed to meet these requirements but said this problem should be resolved within three to four weeks, since adequate funds are available to conclude Phase I (wall and tiles). The entire project (to be completed in two phases) runs on a fixed price contract with a construction amount of $435,017. Patton said he believed $219,000 could still be needed to start and complete Phase II (which include the connection of all four pathways, landscape installation and maintenance).
• $17,500 from the County of San Diego County and $50,000 from the City of San Diego in 2008 • $100,000 from the City of San Diego in 2009 (also from CDBG) • $20,000 as a Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant and $241,000 from the City of San Diego out of Proposition 40Funds in 2010 TOTAL: $654,017

Within minutes they are playing their first musical instrument in their lives and saying ‘This is the most fun I’ve had in years!’” Thompson will get plenty of chances to prove that claim at the festival, being held at NTC Liberty Station July 14-16.

about nothing, confirmed by a look at a schedule of events. This includes previews of “Cowboys & Aliens,” “The Amazing Spider-Man,” and the latest “Twilight” saga. “The truth of the matter is that every studio doesn’t come every year,” Glanzer said. “Regardless, there’s still going to be a tremendous amount of very cool programming on the television and film side, so I don’t think fans will be disappointed. “ Glanzer first attended Comic-Con in 1978, then held at the El Cortez Hotel, with a total of 5,000 guests. He’s pleasantly surprised by the event’s growth. “Many of the people that work on the convention even today have worked on it for many, many years,” Glanzer said. “I think we’re a little shocked sometimes when we realize how big it is. For four days out of the year, the center of the comic’s universe really is San Diego. “It’s cool to see that, and it’s cool to walk around and see people that you read about or whose work you read,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun.” He said the event has an impact on future generations. One never knows, he said. One of those kids wandering the aisles in a superhero costume today could be the next superstar director, writer or actor. “One of the things that we found interesting is that a lot of the people who are now movers and shakers in a variety of different — publishing or movies or whatever — attended Comic-Con when they were younger,” Glanzer said. “I think that says a lot, not just about Comic-Con but also about the fact that all these years, we were right. Comics are cool and they’re a great form of entertainment. The rest of the world is jumping in on that now.”

OBPB CONTINUED FROM Page 1
“a great addition to my tomatoes,” said Landry Watson, vice president of the Board. “You can create healthy food right in your own backyard.” The 50-yard requirement comes from an ordinance passed during the 1950s, a time when backyard chickens may have seemed backward in a rapidly modernizing country, Hiner said. But today, urban agriculture is a growing movement, and the Internet is abuzz with ideas on custom coops, replacing lawns with vegetables, and the like. And with such small groups of hens, concerns like odor, avian flu, water quality and
NEWS noise aren’t issues, she said. “My chickens make a lot less noise than the OB parrots,” Hiner said, a reference to an infamous group of feral birds known for their redundant morning squawks. As for the manure, it goes in the compost pile. “It’s the best recycling I know,” said Hiner, who uses the fertilizer to grow beets, squash, tomatoes and her other vegetables. There are concerns. Chickens are notoriously incompatible with dogs. The birds will also turn to tender vegetables if they run out of bugs and feed. Hiner’s birds even devoured a small banana tree once, she said. Members of the audience at the meeting seemed intrigued. “I’m allergic to cats and dogs, and I think they’d be a great pet,” said Laura Hershey of Ocean Beach.
In other OBPB-related news: May 2012 is still the projected completion time for the beach restrooms south of Dog Beach, said Michael Patton, aide to Councilman Kevin Faulconer, but there’s still no contractor. The Brighton Street Comfort Station, as the project is officially known, has been put out to bid for the third time, and the deadline for submission is July 15. “I don’t know what’s going to happen if they don’t select a contractor this time around,” Patton said, noting that every bid has been rejected since the project was first advertised late last year. The San Diego Association of Governments is talking about smart growth, and it’s causing board members to see dollar signs. To make a better pitch for potential grants, the OBPB has formed an ad hoc committee to reach out to other local nonprofit groups. The meeting will probably be held July 20 at the Ocean Beach Recreation Center, 4726 Santa Monica Ave. More information may be available at oceanbeachpb.com.
PCPB CONTINUED FROM Page 4
I-8 and I-5, the board asserts in a letter authorized at the PCPB’s regular meeting last month. As a result, local streets get glutted by people trying to get in and out of the Peninsula, as if “there’s a Padres game everyday,” said Board member Jay Shumaker. “SANDAG has provided for no funding for mitigating the traffic problems that have developed,” said Pete Nystrom, whose Traffic and Transportation Subcommittee wrote the letter. “Rosecrans has turned into a parking lot, all jammed up with people just trying to go home.” To better serve the Peninsula, the letter suggested building more ramps and improvements allowing cars to bypass congested intersections and to provide alternatives to Rosecrans Avenue and Sea World Drive. Specifically, it asked SANDAG to look at four things: The I-8/I-5 interchange: SANDAG’s plan gives this high priority but doesn’t identify the $220 million funding for the 8 East-to-5 North ramp, nor the $100 million for the 5 South-to-8 West ramp. The board asked SANDAG to research the possibility of putting a concrete abutment or other separation between the two lanes that make up the offramp from 5 North to 8 West, and turn one lane into an on-ramp for 8 East to 5 North. The ramp getting off 8 East could circle around the Rosecrans-to-5 North ramp. Rosecrans bypass: Traffic engineering efforts could turn Nimitz Boulevard into a better north-south corridor, giving members of the Rock Church in Liberty Station, airport traffic and naval commuters an alternative to Rosecrans. I-8 Extension: Instead of reaching a stoplight at the western end of I-8, a ramp across from Correia Middle School could be built to allow cars to go directly south on Nimitz Boulevard. A northbound ramp at the same location could allow direct access to 8 East. Navy bus link: Successful programs that bring commuters to San Diego Naval Base at 32nd Street and elsewhere could be adopted here.
FISHING CONTINUED FROM Page 5
We’ll continue into Thanksgiving when the dorado and yellows are still biting.” Sportfishing officials said the biggest yellowtail caught last year weighed 402 pounds. When H&M was located at the foot of Broadway, a saltwater aquarium was erected so prospective anglers could see the many species of fish they could hope to catch. The Unified Port of San Diego asked the sportfishing companies in April 1949 to move to Point Loma because it wanted all commercial sportfishing activity located in one area. The period of 1957-59 were considered banner years for the competitive yellowtail derby at its peak. The original derby ran for 28 years — from 1946 to 1973 — sponsored and produced by the San Diego Junior Chamber of Commerce. It was a multi-month angler event based on fish size, with qualifying periods and finals. Prizes ranged from cash to cars, trailers, trips and fishing gear. It attracted more than 10,000 anglers from throughout the Southland. Last year, at the urging of Stephen Cushman, chairman of Unified Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners, experienced fisherman John Campbell took up the challenge and has resurrected the Derby.

The Harp voted Best Irish Bar and Best Fish 'n' Chips offers a warm welcome with friendly staff serving up great drinks and conversation. Decorated with autographed pictures of Irish sports stars, this is a great spot to watch sports on the plentiful flat screens. It's renowned for it's atmosphere especially during all the major soccer tournaments with patrons cheering on their teams.
POMA’S
Why not grab a seat at the open windows and enjoy an afternoon of people watching while eating some fine comfort food, including full Irish Breakfast, Shepherd’s Pie, Fish ‘n’ Chips, Irish Stew, etc., with a pint of the black stuff. These dishes are all made in house at The Harp, not forgetting their handcrafted Burgers, Onion Rings and mouthwatering Carrot Cake, which makes a visit worth it on it's own. Monday night is Wing Night and at 25c @ Wing, you won't find a better bargain in town!

THURSDAY · JULY 14, 2011 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Free summer concert series returns Right, the popular classic-rock combo Rockola will be a favorite during the 11th annual Summer Concert Series at Point Loma Park this summer. The series runs from July 15 to Aug. 12. Left, top-40 favorites The Mighty Untouchables play Aug. 5 during the summer concert series.
BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON Summertime is always special in San Diego. The warm evenings lend themselves to all manner of outdoor activities, but it’s hard to beat taking in a musical performance in a park. Area residents will have such a chance each Friday evening from July 15 to Aug. 12, when the Point Loma Association hosts the 11th annual Summer Concert Series at Point Loma Park. For this year’s entertainment, organizers have rounded up an impressive set of crowd pleasers, including Beatles tribute band Help (July 15), Johnny Cash re-creators Cash’d Out (July 22), 1950s to 1980s dance band The Mar Del’s (July 29), Top-40 favorites The Mighty Untouchables (Aug. 5) and top classic-rock combo, Rockola

(Aug. 12). The headliner each night will go on at 6:30 p.m. with a warm-up set on the Kids Community Stage beginning at 5:30 p.m. The Recreational Music Center School Band will kick off the whole series on July 15. Rockola is by far the most popular band to play at this event. This will be the sixth time the band closes the series. “It’s one of my favorite events to play,” said guitarist Mark DeCerbo. “Anytime you can play a big event like this in the fresh air, with such a huge crowd, it’s going to a good thing. But the crowds here are so responsive it’s extra fun.” He said it can be tougher to play rock ’n’
roll in the daytime, but adds that there is a tradeoff. “It’s really great to see families out having a good time and enjoying music. That’s something that could never happen in a club.” DeCerbo said Rockola adapts its set list for shows like this. “We go for the bigger crowd pleasers,” he said. “Oftentimes, we invite kids up to join us for a song, so we’ll play something that’s really well known like ‘Proud Mary,’ or a song that’s become a hit again via a movie, like the Monkees’ song ‘I’m a Believer.’ The kids all know that because of ‘Shrek.’”

Despite the passage of time, he sees no dropoff in the interest in classic rock. “To the contrary,” he said. “Rockola has been playing now for 25 years. I really thought there might a shift in musical tastes, but that hasn’t been the case at all. We get crowds of people that are all ages. And the young ones seem to know the words to every song.” He points to the Beatles’ material as being particular crowd pleasers. “You’ll never go wrong putting ‘Twist and Shout’ or ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ in a set list,” he said. Mighty Untouchables guitarist Mark Fulton agrees that it’s important to include music for people of all ages. “We cover a lot of ground from salsa to rock,” he said. “For the adults, we do things like a 25-minute Motown medley. But for the kids, we can play things like Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Cee Lo Green. They seem to know all those songs.” Fulton said the biggest change is in the tempo set for an outdoor gig. “Not too many slow songs,” he said. “We might do ‘My Girl’ or something like that, but we like to keep things moving.” Fulton cited another reason why he enjoys these park events. “We like being able to play for families,” he said. “In fact, we bring our own families to enjoy the music as well.” To help ease traffic around the park, free parking and free shuttle service will be provided at All Souls’ Episcopal Church, 1475 Catalina Blvd, two blocks north of the park. To access the All Souls’ parking lot, follow signs from Catalina Boulevard to Chatsworth Boulevard, then turn left into the parking lot. The shuttle will operate from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Point Loma Summer Concert Series: Fridays, July 15 – Aug. 12, Point Loma Park, Catalina Boulevard and Varona Street. 5:30 p.m. All ages.

An estimated 1,300 three-person teams will match skills during the Old Mission Beach Don Balch | The Beacon Athletic Club’s annual Over the Line Tournament on Fiesta Island.
BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | THE BEACON For a 58th summer, men and women of all ages will relive their youth during a pair of weekends, smacking softballs in the traditional marathon Over the Line (OTL) competition. The sport is a three-person, balland-bat contest matching the skills of 3,900 athletes from 7 a.m. to dusk. It began July 9-10 and concludes July 16-17 on the sands of Fiesta Island. Again sponsored by the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club, the festive event
with colorful team names is expected to attract about 55,000 sun-baked spectators. OMBAC’s membership transforms Fiesta Island on those weekends, focusing on the 50 OTL courts assembled in the sand. National interest has attracted entries from Canada, South Florida, San Antonio and Hawaii for 10 age divisions, which lure those even SEE OTL, Page 17
Common Care Giving Misconceptions Caring for a parent or spouse is an emotional subject which is likely the reason so many myths surround it. This article is designed to dispel some of these myths. It’s a must-read for anyone currently involved in care giving including those who are considering hiring or perhaps even becoming a caregiver. Adult Children No Longer Provide Care for Aging Parents at Home While stories of adult children abandoning their aging parents make for interesting reading, this is just not true. What is true is that families live further apart from one another than ever before and that situation sometimes presents caregiving challenges. Advances in communication make it easy for adult children and aging parents to stay in regular contact. Many children also care for their parents but the stress may be great. Most People Have a Plan in Place Before the Need Arises Not true. If you don’t yet have a caregiving plan, you’re definitely not alone. Most adult children do not tackle this issue until they are forced, meaning it doesn’t usually happen until a parent becomes ill, starts showing signs of the onset of age-related conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, or until one aging parent dies and the other has trouble resuming life after the death of their spouse. Caregiver Resources are Insufficient This is not true. Caregiver resources are fragmented and sometimes difficult to comprehend or access. But they’re out there. New legislation regarding caregiving and care receiving is constantly being introduced an approved. Contact Innovative Healthcare Consultants, a geriatric care management and care giving company for assistance and answers to your question.

PLHS players go for gold as all-stars BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Two former Point Loma High School football players, also best friends off the field, had one final chance to showcase their skills before embarking on distinctly different collegiate paths. Quarterback Sean McKaveney and his center, Marty Gelenter, represented the Pointers in the 21st annual Alex Spanos All-Star Classic football game, matching the county’s top graduated prep players July 8 at Mesa College. Playing for a well-prepared South team, both played vital roles in a resounding 27-7 thrashing of an often out-of-sync North squad. For Gelenter, the night had to be one of mixed emotions. The large (6-foot-4, 270-pound) lineman, whose hair and beard earned him the nickname “Big Red,” was marking his “retirement” from football. Recently named top male citizen at PLHS, he will enter the University of California, Berkeley in several weeks as a chemical engineering student. McKaveney, on the other hand, hopes to win the starting job at Claremont McKenna College next year. His plans, however, may have suffered a blow when he sustained a possibly serious knee injury just before halftime. “The trainers told me they think I might have torn my ACL,” McKaveney
said. “I have a lot of the symptoms, but we are going to see the Chargers’ head doctor this week to have it checked out.” Coached by Tom Karlo and his Mt. Miguel football staff, the South used an effective passing offense and punishing rushing attack to score on its first four possessions to take a 20-0 lead at the break. McKaveney was at the helm on the first two drives, resulting in the game’s first 10 points. Both former Pointers praised the Matador coaching staff, who had clearly succeeded in blending the players from many schools into a unified group. “We had a lot of competition at practice,” said Gelenter. “There were a lot of good guys on the South, and we were well-prepared for the game.” Echoing Gelenter, McKaveney said, “They created a fast tempo with lots of one-on-one drills. They were really good coaches and we were ready both physically and mentally.” But there was also time for plenty of good-natured ribbing as the PLHS players reminded their Mt. Miguel mentors of the Pointers’ overwhelming 34-10 CIF quarterfinal playoff win over the Matadors last November on a frigid night in Spring Valley. The spirited practices led to the South using big hits and fumble recoveries on defense along with a balanced offensive
attack to give their packed side of the stands plenty to cheer about. The North averted the humility of a shutout with a score just 6:14 before time expired. The South roster also included two players from Western League-foe Madison. The Warhawks were forced to forfeit numerous victories last year, including a 33-7 blowout at the Pointers’ homecoming en route to a CIF championship. The forfeits, for use of an ineligible player, are still being appealed. “The competition on the field was probably equal to anything I’ll see in college just because everyone here was an all-star,” McKaveney said after the game, his knee wrapped in ice. “I came out prepared for a lot more from the North,” Gelenter said. “They brought it tough, but we were prepared for more.” The victory brought the series a bit closer, the North now holding a 10-7 advantage since the current format was begun in 1995. For the first four years, the game matched players from 2A and 3A schools. Pointer head coach Mike Hastings led the South to a 14-0 win in 2007. It was an ideal exit for Gelenter, who said, “I got to play the whole game on offense and end with a win on my last game. Not many people get to do that. It felt good.”

OTL is a modified form of beach baseball/softball. Games last three or four innings and the primary objective is to hit the ball “over the line” about 55 feet in front of the batter. This year’s doubleelimination tournament features more than 1,300 three-person teams competing for trophies. “Typically, if they’re a seeded team, they are going to end up playing five or six games,” said Martin. “If they’re in the loser’s bracket, they need to beat the team in the winner’s bracket twice.”
THURSDAY · JULY 14, 2011 THE PENINSULA BEACON
Although OTL is noted for fiercely competitive contests, as much interest is paid to the surrounding debauchery and off-color team names. “Team names are traditionally creative and good-natured, but can sometimes be quite colorful, often pertaining to current events,” said Martin. That may be why the event has not often drawn national television coverage. Reserved parking is still available for both weekends, although supply is lim-

OMBAC also provides complimentary bus transportation (dubbed the “OmShuttle”) to and from Fiesta Island during the first three days of OTL.

All Aboard for Old Town – Next Stop Stagecoach Days
It’s been over a century since the last stage line operated in San Diego. Beginning in 1857, stage lines passed through rural San Diego moving passengers, freight, and mail.
These new services helped bring the outside world a little closer to this emerging frontier community that we know today as San Diego. For four Saturdays in July and August, come join us as we celebrate travel and transportation in the era of real horsepower – before the train and automobile. Imagine yourself traveling down dusty dirt roads either by horse, wagon, or stagecoach making your way to San Diego in the 1860s. Enjoy an afternoon filled with activities that reflect life in early San Diego and celebrate the West on the move. Through vignettes, demonstrations, living history activities, stories, and songs, visitors will gain an appreciation for early modes of transportation and daily life. Stagecoach Days: Celebrating The West On The Move Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. 12:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. FREE July 16th - “Women of the West” Women played an important part in the development of the West. Some of the daily activities of these women will be demonstrated.
July 23rd - “Innocent Amusement”
In the 1800s, games and amusement were commonly associated with either large celebrations or after school play days incorporating most of the local townspeople. This day will pay tribute to traditional games of the time. July 30th - Trades that Shaped Westward Expansion” As towns developed in the West so did the need for specialized trades and artisans. Old Town San Diego will present pivotal 19th century trades that shaped the community of San Diego. August 6-- “Soldiers and Citizens” -- In the mid-1840s, California went to war with Mexico. United States troops were stationed and fought in San Diego County in an effort to support the war. This day will feature military practices that changed San Diego forever. August 13-- “Californio Day” -- The unique “Californio” cultural elements will be presented again this Saturday. August 20 -- TwainFest -- The festival marks 101 years of Mark Twain’s passing and celebrates the American author as well as some of his peers.
