Love ’em or not, wild parrots in OB making neighborhood nest egg BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON For all their squawking, the wild parrots in Ocean Beach sure seem to enjoy it around here. And why not? Like most of their human counterparts, the parrots are not native. They came here from elsewhere and found Ocean Beach to their liking. The only real difference between them and your average outof-towner is that when someone from New York or Chicago moves to Southern California, he eventually kind of blends in like your average
Joe. Not the parrots. They’ve become rock stars. Think of the outcry that would result if, for some reason, a likeness of the iconic critter did not appear on the entryway sign that greets travelers on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. Now, that would be something to squawk about. Yes, the creatures annoy with their untimely chattiness. But when a regional parrot advocate asked an SEE PARROTS, Page 6

OB planners finding it no issue to fill board seats — for a change BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON It’s getting crowded on the Ocean Beach Planning Board (OBPB). Plagued by chronic vacancies in recent years, there’s suddenly not a spot to be had on the 14-member board. Openings that at one time had gone begging are no more. A seat on the board is now a hot ticket. Incumbent board members had to scoot over and scrunch together to make room when newbies Dan Dennison and Mike Nieto took their seats Sept. 3 on the south end of the Activity Room of the Ocean Beach Recreation Center, where the board meets monthly. It was the first time in years anyone in the room could remember a meeting in which the board had tackled its agenda at full strength. “We’re a full board again,” said chairman Pete Ruscitti. To be sure, things get jam-packed at board events on occasion, with topics like medical marijuana, liquor licenses and, most recently, the completion of the Ocean Beach Community Plan, drawing crowds noteworthy in their feistiness and sheer numbers. But for some reason, it’s been a different story at the tables where board members sit. Unfilled vacancies have sometimes delayed or nearly canceled meetings, with audience members waiting for enough members to arrive and achieve a quorum. The vacancies have been more puzzling in light of this beach community’s history. Ocean Beach, often considered a firebrand community with a record of citizen input, is the very place in San Diego where the concept of community planning began in the 1970s. Today, there are more than

40 communities that have boards made up of neighborhood-elected, nonpaid volunteers that make recommendations on land use and quality-of-life issues to the San Diego City Council and other local agencies. Recent Ocean Beach elections have failed to draw a full slate of candidates to fill out the ballot, and successful office seekers have gained seats with a mere handful of votes. The current burst of enthusiasm to serve on the board — not only are all positions filled, but future candidates are already known to be waiting in the wings — could signal a new era of sorts, brought about by the momentum of the recent passage of the Ocean Beach Community Plan. The document, which purports to guide growth in Ocean Beach over the next 20 years, had been shepherded by the OBPB for the last 12 years before its passage July 29 by the San Diego City Council. That’s a big reason new board member Dennison said he decided to step forward. He said he was pleased to see the community come together when the San Diego Planning Commission attempted to add developer-friendly language to the comSEE OB PLANNERS Page 6

Quicker beach water-quality testing bill heads to governor; alerts expedited The California Senate voted 34-0 on Aug. 29 to send the governor legislation permitting county public health officials to use a quicker water-quality test to warn California’s 238 million beachgoers of contaminated water. “SB 1395 safeguards the public and protects local economies,” said bill author Sen. Marty Block (Dist. 39). “We want the public alerted to any health danger as quickly as possible. We also want beaches reopened as soon as possible for visitors to enjoy once safety is assured. A quick reopening minimizes the economic loss to small businesses
dependent upon beachgoers.” He said that over the last Memorial Day weekend more than 450,000 people enjoyed San Diego’s beaches. Swimming, surfing or participating in other water activities in polluted water can result in stomach flu, skin rashes, pinkeye, respiratory infections, meningitis and hepatitis. The California Coastkeeper Alliance states that every year about one million Southern California beachgoers contract gastrointestinal illness from exposure to polluted coastal areas at a public health cost of $21 million to $51 million.
Under the state’s Beach and Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program, county public health departments perform beach water sampling and close beaches or post warning signs if water quality is below state standards. Current permissible tests are culture-based, involving a multiple sample standard for three indicators — total coliform, fecal coliform and Enterococcus. Test results are typically available in 24 to 48 hours — and sometimes as long as 96 hours — leaving beachgoers at risk before results are obtained. To address this slow response time,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published an alternative testing method called qualitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), which shortens the result-waiting period to four hours — a significant time savings. This test is genetically based rather than culture-based and measures the presence and amount of DNA from Enterococcus. Block’s bill would authorize local health officers to use the rapid qPCR test to determine beach water quality. The jurisdiction must first perform the test side by side with the currently approved
culture-based test over an entire beach season to determine that the qPCR test is a reliable indicator of public health standards. Additionally, the qPCR method must be performed in compliance with the federal EPA’s established guidance and with oversight by the California Department of Public Health. SB 1395 is supported by business and government entities in San Diego, including the city, county, Port District and Regional Chamber of Commerce. The bill is also supported by a host of statewide environmental organizations. — Staff and contribution
Study of coastal whales inaugurated by Navy Series of poolside tryouts slated The Navy has inaugurated a study to document the feeding, diving and travel habits of whales off the Southern California coast. The project, which began on July 31, involves Oregon State University researchers’ attempts to attach 24 trackers to the fins of blue whales and fin whales, whose locations will be tracked for a year. In a separate project, eight whales will be tagged in an effort to learn about their deep-water foraging habits. Preliminary results will be reported to the National Marine Fisheries Service next spring. Field work is also planned for 2015 and 2016. Data will be combined with oceanographic information to obtain results that can only be achieved underwater. The Navy estimates that the work may kill up to 155 mammals and injure 2,000 others. The study begins as environmental groups fight the military and the fisheries service over a permit that allows the Navy to use sonar and explosives charges.
for 2015 city lifeguard positions Those interested in taking a shot at a lifeguard job for the summer of 2015 with San Diego Lifeguard Services will have ample opportunities to prove their skills and lifesaving techniques. Lifeguard jobs start at $16.23 an hour, according to city officials. The tryouts will be held on multiple days in September, October and January at 1000 West Mission Bay Drive at Ventura Cove, east of the Belmont Park roller coaster next to the Bahia Hotel. Applicants must swim 500 meters in 10 minutes or less. Interviews will be scheduled for those applicants who pass. Tryouts continue at 9 a.m. Oct. 1-4 and Jan. 8-10. Applicants will need a valid govern-
ment-issued identification card with a photograph, i.e., a driver’s license, military ID, DMV-issued identification card or passport. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or have the legal right to work in the U.S. at the time of the application. Candidates must be 18 years old by June 12, 2015. Candidates between the ages of 17 and 18 must have a parent or guardian present at the time of testing to sign a waiver form. Successful candidates who are offered employment will be paid to attend the Miramar Lifeguard Academy, but only after passing a comprehensive medical exam and fingerprint check. Applicants must apply online at www.sandiego.gov/empopp. The application period ends Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.sandiego.gov/lifeguards or call (619) 221-8844. — Staff and contribution

The sentencing of Point Loma resident Tara Moore, convicted Aug. 4 of embezzling millions from her former employers, was delayed on Sept. 2 to Tuesday, Oct. 7, because a sentencing report was recently delivered to her attorney, whom it was ruled had not had sufficient time to review it. Moore, 42, worked for the former Jack’s La Jolla Restaurant and acted as the firm’s bookkeeper before it went out of business in 2009. She also was convicted of embezzling from Richard Anderson, who owned businesses in San Mateo. The probation department delivered its report Tuesday to attorney Paul Pfingst, but court rules say it must be delivered at least five court days before sentencing. Pfingst asked for the delay so he could study it. A jury deliberated 3½ days before it convicted Moore of six felony counts, including three counts of grand theft, forgery and fraudulent appropriation by a bookkeeper. Moore did not testify in the sevenweek trial in San Diego Superior Court. She had been free on $400,000 bond, but a judge remanded her to jail immediately after the verdicts. She remains in custody in Santee. — Neal Putnam
NEWS QUICKHITS >> POLICE HUNT FOR MIDWAY BURGER KING ROBBERS Police officials are asking for the public’s help in tracking down information about two armed, masked Latino men who struck the Burger King fast-food restaurant at closing time this month at the store on Rosecrans Street. The two suspects reportedly approached two employees who were closing the restaurant. The men brandished their weapons and demanded cash. They were last seen getting into a dark-colored Pontiac two-door car that was parked in a nearby parking lot on Pacific Highway. The Pontiac sped off northbound on Pacific Highway. Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT WHO KILLED ROOMMATE LANDS 15-YEAR SENTENCE A prison sentence of 15 years and two months was handed down Sept. 5 for a psychiatric patient who killed his room-
mate at the San Diego County Psychiatric Hospital at 3851 Rosecrans St. in 2012. Bart Clement Schafer, 34, was ordered to pay nearly $3,700 for the funeral of Robert King, 53, who was beaten to death on March 17, 2012. Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey said Schafer struck King with his fists and King’s head apparently hit the floor or a wall. Schafer, also known as Bart Schufer, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in June. A murder charge was dropped by a San Diego Superior Court judge. Schafer withdrew his insanity plea with his attorney present. Schafer also pleaded guilty to committing torture upon King who suffered severe head and brain injuries. The judge gave Schafer credit for serving 1,038 days in jail since his arrest. It was Schafer who reported King’s injury at 2 p.m. on the day of the attack, telling staff King had fallen. San Diego police officers were dispatched to the scene. Paramedics evaluated King and rushed him to a trauma center. King died eight days later.
Affordable San Diego Writers Conference to descend on Liberty Station in September Writers have a chance to increase their skills at the third annual San Diego Writers, Ink Fall for Writing Conference, set to take place from Sept. 12 to 14. Classes and workshops run the gamut from fiction, memoir and poetry writing, to collage and marketing classes. When asked what benefits she thought writers would derive from attending a writers conference like this, writer, teacher and writing-practice provocateur Judy Reeves said, “The variety of topics means there’s something for almost every writer, and the short duration gives writers an opportunity to get a taste of something they might like to study in depth through a longer workshop or class. “With so many instructors leading workshops on so many different subjects, participants get a chance to meet instructors they might want to work with in the future,” she said. Reeves said the benefits don’t stop
there, either. “Immersion at a weekend writing conference is a gift writers can give themselves,” she said. “It’s a chance to learn about craft, meet other writers and hang out in a writing community. For those of us who never have enough time for our writing, weekend conferences like SDWI’s Fall for Writing are a rare treat.” For a fraction of what it would cost to attend a class or two, the San Diego Writers, Ink (SDWI) is offering a full weekend of classes, workshops, and parties at the third annual Fall for Writing Conference. The preregistration cost is $120 for members or $140 for nonmembers for up to 10 sessions. At the door it’s $5 more for each or $25 a class. Membership is $35 a year. SDWI is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. For more information about this and other San Diego Writers, Ink’s events go to: sandiegowriters.org.

THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON
COUNCIL CORNER — GUEST VIEW
Why I voted to increase the minimum wage in San Diego By Councilmember Ed Harris Last weekend I was outside the Trader Joe’s at Liberty Station where I met Pete. Pete is from Los Angeles and came down to San Diego to obtain signatures opposing the minimum-wage ordinance. I listened to him talking to a woman about the ordinance, and since Pete wasn’t completely forthcoming with his information, I felt compelled to ED HARRIS intervene. I introduced myself as one of the San Diego City Councilmembers who voted in favor of the ordinance. I then asked the woman if she knew what she was signing. “Not really,” she said. When I asked Pete why he was gathering signatures, he told me, “Hey, I’m just trying to make a living.” (People collecting signatures make between $5 and $7 per signature.) I supported an increase in the minimum wage because an additional $1.50 over three years is a fair compromise. That pencils out to $12 a day more for minimum wage workers. I couldn’t support the figures of $13.09 or $15 an hour that had been on the bargaining table. As a Marine veteran, it concerns me that in San Diego we have more than 10,000 veterans currently making the minimum wage. For over 200 years, our service men and women have not let us down. Yet, as a nation we frequently fail our veterans. Why would
we want to fail them again? Shortly after the Trader Joe’s incident, a friend called to tell me a local radio host was on the air talking about the minimum wage ordinance and was speaking about me in less than flattering terms. The radio host also told his listeners that if you’re 25 years old and making minimum wage you have failed in life. I quickly jumped on the phone and called in to the station. It’s amazing to me how divisive this has become, and being called “a villain” on the radio was certainly a first. Other cities like San Jose and Seattle successfully passed minimum wage ordinances to help keep their residents out of poverty, and small businesses didn’t close their doors because of it. Why wouldn’t we want to give a modest wage increase to our neighbors? I supported a modest increase in the minimum wage because it was the smart and right thing to do. Putting a few extra dollars into the pockets of working people can make a world of difference for them and their families, and I believe our community and our country are stronger when we help each other and weaker when we undermine each other. It’s ironic that Pete had to resort to collecting signatures opposing a measure that supports his own interests. But then again Pete, like his neighbors in San Diego, is just trying to make a living. — Ed Harris represents Ocean Beach, Point Loma, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and Mission Bay, among other communities.

munity plan, a controversy that gained citywide attention. “Quite frankly, as the whole thing unfolded, it motivated me to offer assistance in that area,” said Dennison, a renter in District 1 who hopes to buy a house here. Dennison pointed to his background in land development, real estate and construction experience in large, masterplanned communities as some of his qualifications. Asked by board member Seth Connolly how he views “balancing the tension between property rights and community character,” Dennison said he was committed to the comprehensive planning process. “I don’t see individual property rights being impinged upon as long as the rules that have been in place are followed,” he said. “The character of this community is really special. And it’s important that it stays that way.” Nieto described himself as a botanist with a specialty in wetlands. He previously earned a living as a native landscaper,
Cabrillo Festival nears to celebrate PARROTS CONTINUED FROM Page 1
historic landing in Point Loma BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The 51st installment of the two-day Cabrillo Festival in Point Loma reenacting Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s landing at Ballast Point in 1542 kicks off Saturday, Sept. 27 at 3:30 p.m. with a commemorative ceremony and wreath-laying service honoring the famed adventurer at the Cabrillo National Monument. The commemorative ceremony will be followed later that day from 6 to 7:30 p.m. with a Cabrillo Discovery Celebration Dinner-Dance at the United Portuguese S.E.S. Hall, 2818 Avenida de Portugal in Point Loma. Sponsored by Cabrillo Civic Club No. 16 of San Diego and Portuguese-American Social and Civic Club, the event costs $50 per person, with tickets available by calling (619) 221-8084. On Sunday, Sept. 28, festivities continue from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a free Cabrillo Festival at Ballast Point, Naval Base Point Loma at the south end of Rosecrans Street. The re-enactment of Cabrillo’s landing on Ballast Point begins at 1 p.m. The many-splendored festival showcases music, dancing and children’s activities as well as featuring the ethnic foods of Mexico, Portugal, Spain and Native Americans.

The highlight of the festival each year is the re-enactment of Cabrillo’s landing on the shores of San Diego Bay, with actors in period garb representing Cabrillo, his soldiers and priests landing and claiming the land in the name of Spain. A Portuguese navigator sailing under the flag of Spain, Cabrillo discovered San Diego Bay while searching for the Strait of Anian, a mythical all-water route across North America. When Cabrillo landed in Point Loma, he originally named the area San Miguel in honor of St. Michael’s Day, which was to be celebrated the next day. Shortly after he left what would later become San Diego, Cabrillo died of an infection on the islands outside Santa Barbara. In honor of his landing on the West Coast, Sept. 28 is recognized as Cabrillo Day in California.
audience of several dozen people if they were fond of the birds Aug. 24 at the monthly public meeting of the Ocean Beach Town Council, a room full of hands shot up without hesitation. Yet the admiration is not universal. A few months ago, an oddly grease-covered parrot was spotted beneath a bush at Sacred Heart Church in Ocean Beach. The wild animal was scooped up by a concerned citizen and eventually transferred to SoCal Parrot, a Jamul-based group that asked to address the Town Council. An X-ray revealed the critter had been shot once by a BB gun in a body-part area known as the flight girdle, rendering it permanently flightless. No one knows the reason for the shooting. But it’s unlikely the shooter knew this: the maimed bird — a red-crowned Amazon parrot — is a species in serious trouble. Fewer than 5,000 exist, said Amanda Plante, SoCal Parrot’s development and education director. The birds are thriving locally, but in their native northeast Mexico, populations are collapsing. An effort is under way to have the parrots listed as an endangered species, but so far, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hasn’t budged the critter from candidate status, Plante said. As they become more abundant in Ocean Beach, Plante wants people to know of their plight and appreciate their presence here. “You guys have the power as Obeceans and residents of southern California to save a wild species,” she said. Southern California hosts a few other exotic parrots that can be found in Ocean
canyons and urban areas throughout San Diego County. Event organizers said cleaning up these inland sites prevents trash from reaching the coast, stopping pollution at the source. In 2013, more than 9,700 volunteers (about 7,700 in San Diego County and 2,000 in Tijuana) removed nearly 171,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from San Diego County’s 11 watersheds. Trash removal is just one component of the annual event. Volunteers will also conduct storm-drain stenciling, invasive plant removal, native planting and
graffiti removal. Another unique component of the event is the “on the water” cleanups that will take place at San Dieguito Lagoon and Shelter Island/San Diego Bay. ILACSD encourages San Diegans to come together for the event to improve the health of the environment and preserve the San Diego way of life for future generations.

and said he knows the difference between local native and exotic species. He enjoyed getting to know his District 5 neighbors while canvassing for the 35 signatures required for applying for a vacancy. “You do not get a signature easily in Ocean Beach,” Nieto said. “People are smart. They are feisty and they are proud to be from OB. And I feel the exact same way.” He said he also heard many a fond comment expressed about Bill Bushe, the former board member Nieto replaces, who stepped down for health reasons. “I have big shoes to fill,” Nieto said.
Voltaire Street. But some board members said they suspected renters would treat the buildings as two-bedroom units, which would have required seven off-street parking spaces instead of the proposed five. The resolution strongly recommended allowing a curb cut on Voltaire Street to allow access to two additional parking spaces. Architect and developer Pedro Tavares said he originally submitted the proposal to include the curb cut and seven spaces but cut back after an initial denial by city staff. More information is available at threeonabbott.com and at facebook.com/threeonabbott. • It’s “looking solid” that the new Ocean Beach Community Plan will face its final hurdle for approval next month by the California Coastal Commission, said Chet Barfield, aide to San Diego District 2 City Councilman Ed Harris. The two entities are hammering out “non-serious” differences, Barfield said, in language in the document, which is designed to guide growth in Ocean Beach for the next 20 years. The commission, which changes its meeting location each month, will take on its next agenda from Oct. 8-10 at the Civic Center building in Newport Beach.
IN OTHER ACTION • A long-vacant lot at the southeast corner of Voltaire and Abbott streets could be the site of three two-story, one-bedroom residential units. The board voted 11-3 in support of the project called Three On Abbott at the 5,000-square-foot location. The units would feature a ground-level home office and bedroom upstairs. Proponents said the project would provide a pleasing transition between higher-density structures to the west and the abundance of one-story houses going east on
Beach and are less threatened. But the condition of the red-crowned Amazon has degraded to the point that there are now more birds living outside their native habitat than in Mexico, Plante said. South of the border, the wild populations are threatened by habitat destruction and fragmentation and poaching, which fuels a burgeoning, black-market pet trade. So how did they get here? Though they have wings, they didn’t get to Southern California by flying. Some are stowaways aboard produce vessels, Plante said. Others were hastily released at the border by smugglers who lost their nerve at the last minute. Still others arrived in egg form, transported by smugglers wearing specialized shirts with multiple pockets. Plante dispelled the popular belief that parrots in Ocean Beach descended from a few individuals set free by pet owners. Some certainly did, but the sheer numbers indicate they also were transported, she said. Once in Ocean Beach, the birds thrive, dining on fruits of palm trees and other ornamental plants, Plante said. As for the crippled bird, SoCal Parrots decided surgery to remove the BB was too risky. The critter is being cared for as a member of the group’s “foster flock,” Plante said. The bird has proven to be quite ornery to its human guardians as it convalesces, which is a good sign. “He’s very much a wild animal. He has a lot of gumption. He does not like people, which is a great thing. That’s the way it’s supposed to be,” Plante said. The group continues to be on the lookout for the well-being of the birds — even making house calls at odd hours. “Sometimes we’ll get a call at 9:30 on a Saturday night about an injured, orphaned parrot,” Plante said.
“There’s no one else doing what we’re doing.” More information is available at socalparrot.org. IN OTHER NEWS • Several residents describing themselves as longtime aficionados of the surf break north of the Ocean Beach Pier are complaining about being displaced by surf schools. “The pier has always been where advanced surfers go. It’s not fair for people who live here to have to put up with this,” said Howard Elliot, who said he has enjoyed the sport for more than a half century. The group suggested moving the schools to Dog Beach, a spot they said was less coveted and safer. • The OBTC’s Board of Directors will have a new look by the time it holds its next public meeting Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Point Loma Masonic Lodge, 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. Seven of the 15, twoyear terms were up for grabs in annual elections that ended this week. Candidates and voters had to be dues-paying members as of Aug. 23 and live, work or own property in the 92107 ZIP code. The race attracted 10 candidates who briefly introduced themselves but a scheduled question-and-answer period was canceled in the interest of time. Results were not available at press time. • Private security hired by the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association to patrol around the pier parking lot and during special events has made a difference, said Chet Barfield, aide to San Diego District 2 City Councilman Ed Harris. So much so that Harris has pledged $8,000 in discretionary money known as Community Projects, Programs and Services funds to extend the patrol for several more months, Barfield said.

dation, which was established in 2000 to renovate the 28-acre Arts & Culture District of the former Naval Training Center, turning it into a place where “innovative experiences” will inspire generations to come. “But the job’s not done,” said Ziter. “We’re hopeful that we can accomplish the bulk of the remainder of the project, the final 10 unrenovated buildings in the district, in what we are calling Phase 3. We are now in the planning and visioning phase of what we can do with the buildings and what the community needs that could take place in these buildings. Ideally, it will all happen in a single phase.” Noting that funding to renovate the buildings in the third phase “will be key,” Ziter estimated it will “cost $20 million to renovate them to a point where a tenant could move in and complete their build-out.” The 10 buildings in Phase 3 of the Arts & Culture District are: • The historic Luce Auditorium: a lease has been signed with a new tenant to be announced in early fall. • Four former Naval Training Center

tivals for several thousand people,” said Barbara Ramsey, director of event sales for NTC venues at Liberty Station. Venue spaces available to rent on the former Naval base include The McMillin Event Center, Gallery 17 Event Center/Plaza, The Command Center, Luce Court/Legacy Plaza, North and South Promenade and Ingram Plaza. Some of the larger organizations and events hosted at Liberty Station include ArtWalk, The Best of San Diego hosted by San Diego Magazine, Vin Diego, the Parkinson’s Walk and the Live Well San Diego 5K. “We also have The Dance Place Studios offering more than 600 dance classes annually, plus The North Chapel, which hosts more than 350 events — weddings, baptisms, concerts, military ceremonies and funerals — per year,” Ramsey said. Ramsey said the cost of renting out a portion of Liberty Station varies “depending on the venue space and for how long you would like to rent the space.” Despite the large number of events already hosted at Liberty Station, there’s still room for expansion, said Liberty Station officials. “While we have had two very success-
barracks buildings. • Three officers’ homes. • The former Navy Base Exchange Building. • The Gatehouse on Rosecrans Street. In November 2013, the NTC Foundation celebrated the completion of eight Phase 2 buildings, welcoming 14 new tenants ranging from art galleries to small design firms. In 1997, when the city took possession of the former NTC and named Corky McMillin as the master redeveloper, it also set aside 26 buildings on 28 acres as a civic arts and cultural district. Seven of the eight refurbished structures in Phase 2 redevelopment were former two-story barracks buildings. A total of 52,500 square feet of space was reconfigured into shops, studios, work spaces and offices that now house Ballast Point Gallery, Barracks 17 Event Center, Brandiose, California State Parks, Casa Valencia Galeria Baja, FlightPath Intaglio Studio, Point Loma Tea, Ron’s Shop, Studio E, Taylor Grace Designs, The Hot Spot! (pottery painting), the Women’s Museum of California and Yellow Book Road Children’s Books. Ziter said the second phase’s buildout has served its purpose, but added it has already been outgrown.
“We are currently 98 percent leased in the renovated buildings,” he said. “So there is definitely more demand for space.” Ziter would not disclose details of the long-sought-after tenant for the Luce Auditorium — where the likes of Bob Hope and other entertainment giants of the day performed for recruits — other than to say, “A formal announcement will be made when preliminary plan reviews at the city are complete and there is more certainty about a timeline for renovations and opening.” Located on the west side of Truxtun Road north of Dewey Road, the 20,000square-feet, 1,800-seat Luce Auditorium would appear to have ample space to be an anchor performance venue. But the site has several logistical “impediments” to be overcome, including no lobby space, wall-to-wall seating that is too deep and a stage that is too small and too high, as well as marginal acoustics and insufficient, out-of-date restrooms. Luce Auditorium’s renovation, however, has been long acknowledged to be a key element of Liberty Station’s redevelopment, as it would provide resident groups a place to perform and could offer local film festivals a permanent home.
ful years, we still have room for growth in the corporate market, social occasions and multi-day conferences,” said Ramsey. The 361-acre former Naval Training Center (NTC) offers much in the way of park and open-space areas, making it amenable for hosting events. There also is the historic Sail Ho Golf Course, which is San Diego’s oldest. Built in the 1920s as the Loma Club, it was recently renovated by Cary Bickler, who redesigned its fairways, greens and practice facilities. The nine-hole executive course features a pro-shop and the Sail Ho Bar & Grill. Liberty Station also has a 46-acre waterfront park with playground areas, plus a walking/jogging trail along the boat channel and an athletic club. Liberty Station’s large open areas makes it an attractive setting for numerous 5k walk/runs sponsored by local businesses and nonprofit organizations that have made the former base their home. “We’ve got it all: great value, unparalleled amenities, centrally located and plenty of complimentary parking,” said Ramsey. “The venues at NTC Liberty Station offer a slice of San Diego’s rich naval history coupled with spectacular surroundings that will make any meeting, conference, celebration, festival or wedding an event to remember.” Liberty Station is also full of fitness and therapy centers, as well as gyms and athletic clubs for all ages, including the
Point Loma Sports Club, Therapy Specialists, Yoga Six, Fitness Without Walls, Fitness Together, San Diego Gymnastics, Riptide Soccer Club, Pilates By The Bay, Performing Arts & Athletics Restorative Training Specialists and Walkabout International. An aquatic center is also planned on 3.7 acres in the active space area of NTC Park. The city is in the process of approving a contract with an architect to begin the community input and design phase of that project.

The NTC Promenade is a group of historic buildings being renovated for the display of arts, science, culture and technology. The educational district of Liberty Station consists of High Tech Village, a group of public charter schools collectively known as High Tech High. The campus includes five high schools, two middle schools and one elementary school. The residential district of Liberty Station has two main sections, one for military housing and the other a residential community developed by the McMillin Corporation. The military housing area includes 500 units, mostly townhomes, and also features children’s playgrounds and sports facilities. The exterior of the housing is in a Spanish architectural
style in keeping with traditional San Diego. The civilian residential community includes townhomes, rowhomes and single-family houses. The hotel district of Liberty Station is designated for several hotels, currently including a Homewood Suites by Hilton and a Courtyard by Marriott. A large resort hotel by Nickelodeon is in the works. The office district is a collection of newly built office buildings whose architecture reflects the Spanish Colonial Revival style of the original NTC buildings. The Rock Church, a nondenominational, evangelical Christian megachurch, was constructed in 2005 and opened in 2007. The building houses new Christian education facilities, office space and a 3,500-seat worship center, making it one of the largest auditoriums in Southern California. The church currently averages 12,000 in attendance per week, making it the largest church in San Diego. The Rock Church occupies the site of the former Technical Training Center at Service School Command San Diego.

THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Liquid Blue to highlight city, OB Earth Dance event to promote world peace BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON Anyone who even glances at the news these days can easily surmise a key thing that’s needed in the world today: peace. To help make this point, San Diegans will be able to take part in Earth Dance, a global dance for peace taking place simultaneously in more than 100 cities worldwide and aligned with the U.N. International Day of Peace. The local event takes place Sept. 21 at Winston’s Beach Club from 2 to 9 p.m. San Diego’s event will be a part of a full day of activities, starting with a group called Global Peace Meditation at the Hippie House at noon, then heading down to a Climate March at San Diego’s City Hall. This will be followed by the concert at Winston’s. On hand for the musical portion of the day will be some of the area’s most popular performers, including Sister Speak, The Country Rockin’ Rebels, MC Gill Sotu, DJ Layla and organizers Liquid Blue, which has been dubbed the “World’s Most Traveled Band.” Liquid Blue is particularly devoted to the cause, flying back home from a Canadian road trip the night before to make this gig. “It was important to us that we have musical talent from our neighborhood, as well as a mix of sounds,” said Liquid Blue frontman Scott Stephens. Fans will also be treated to dancing from Adelaide Marcus, as well as speakers like Martin Eder, founder of KNSJ Radio 89.1, and James Summer, president of the San Diego chapter of Veterans for Peace. However, as a dance, the emphasis will be on music. For this event, Stephens and his crew have put together a special set list, comprising classic tunes that celebrate peace or have a socially conscious lyric. “We certainly have originals which fit the mood,” Stephens said. “But for this event, we’re concentrating on

songs with a message. It can range from Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’ to Bob Dylan’s ‘With God on Our Side’ or Cat Stevens’ ‘Peace Train,’ but it’s important to remember that even a song like Harry Chapin’s ‘Tax,’ has a deep social message for those who listen to the words.” The reason he gives for Liquid Blue’s involvement in the event is succinct. “Everywhere you turn today, it’s all about war, whether it’s television or a newsstand you walk by,” said Stephens. “There is very little about bringing peace. If we can shine a little bit of the spotlight on finding a hopeful alternative to what’s going on in the world, then it’s all been worth it.” He points out the band usually loses money in staging an event like this. “It’s worth it, though,” he smiled. The other acts on the bill said they are also thrilled to take part in a socially conscious event. “We always enjoy performing with other top musical acts for a good cause,” said Country Rockin’ Rebels frontman Michael Head. “It’s a winwin. And I always applaud bringing a little positivity through music. Seems like we could use it these days.”
Sherri Anne, singer with SisterSpeak, concurs. “I love playing events like Earth Dance that are in alignment with a worldwide movement toward peace and where we can potentially connect on a deep level with the audience,” she said. “I believe it makes a big difference to have events alongside United Nations Peace Day, because it amplifies a peaceful energy that just may encourage people to be a little more compassionate, making this wild earth journey more enjoyable and positive.” Though music has lost a lot of its focus in recent years, Stephens said he sees it as the perfect way to get the message of peace out in front of the public. “It’s important that there is an opportunity to voice an opinion on things like this,” he said. “We’re just one part of a larger, exciting happening. I really think we can make a difference through music.” • EARTH DANCE: Sunday, Sept. 21 at WINSTON’S BEACH CLUB, 1921 Bacon St., 2 to 9 p.m. $5. 21 and up welcome. www.winstonsob.com or http://www.liquidblue.com/EarthDance-SanDiego2014.htm.

L.A. native Golabek, herself a noted concert pianist, contacted Felder in hopes of some kind of stage collaboration. Thing was, she had no acting experience whatsoev-

She's so very honest in her [portrayal], and my intent was to make her honest, not to make her act. This works because it's a true story, and it's all hers.” "My mother told me that when the bombs started in England, she'd go down to the basement of the hostel and pound out the cadenza of the Grieg, determined to drown

Chords from Rachmaninoff would morph into a depiction of the D-Day bombing, with Jura creating army uniforms to the tune of a large-scale Bach entry. Jura died in 1997, having survived the Holocaust through her music alone. “Lisa was one of the first children on the kindertransport,” said Montreal native Felder, who maintains a home in New York and is married to former Canadian Prime

Medication Mistakes Can Be Dangerous Every year 1.5 million people are injured or become seriously ill when a medication mistake happens and 100,000 people a year die from the mistake. It is important for everyone to protect themselves from possible mistakes. Knowing how to avoid mistakes is important for everyone. Confusing two medications with similar names accounts for up to 25 percent of errors. Sometimes the doctor’s handwriting is misread, the wrong medicine name is put into the computer or the wrong drug is pulled from the pharmacy shelf but it happens. Drugs that could be confused might be Adderall (a stimulant for ADHD) with Inderal (a beta-blocker for high blood pressure), or Paxil (an antidepressant) with Taxol (a cancer drug) or Plavix (an anticlotting medication).

your doctor to write on the prescription what it’s for as well as the name and dosage. If the pharmacist sees high blood pressure but the name of the drug is an antidepressant, it should be a red flag for the pharmacist. Sometimes drugs can interfere with each other because of their side effects. One drug can magnify the other or one drug can magnify a side effect of the other. If you take one medication that says a side effect can raise blood pressure and then you take a second medication with the same side effect, the two together could cause your blood pressure to get dangerously high. So ask your pharmacist and doctor about side effects, read the written printouts and review and compare them.

September is National Organic Harvest Month “Organic” refers to the way agriculture products – including foods and fibers – are grown and processed. Organic farmers, in general, use no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or defoliants and use only nonsynthetic pesticides on their crops when absolutely necessary. “Certified Organic” labels stand for a commitment to a system of agriculture that strives for balance with nature. When you buy organic foods, your choice protects the health of future generations, yourself, and farm workers by keeping cancer-causing pesticides off of plates and out of farm environments. This choice also protects water quality by supporting farms with no petrochemical runoff; preserves topsoil because organic farmers build soil using natural amenities rather than synthetic fertilizers; helps keep small family farming alive; supports a true economy with no hidden costs from subsidies and environmental damage; preserves biodiversity through the cultivation of heirloom varieties; and provides you and your family with better-tasting fruits and vegetables. The choice is yours! Every purchase you make is really a vote for the way that your food is grown and processed. Why not vote in favor of protecting your own health and the health of our environment? For a large selection of organic produce and groceries, stop by O.B. People’s Organic Food Market at 4765 Voltaire Street. The Market’s staff will be happy to discuss the benefits of organic farming with you and give you a taste of some of our extraordinary organic produce. Once you experience the difference, we’re sure you’ll agree that organic is the way to be! Find us on the web at www.obpeoplesfood.coop

OB Historical Society chronicles emergence of community with debut of ‘Ocean Beach’ BY MIKE MCCARTHY | THE BEACON The history of Ocean Beach has periodically inspired the energetic and dedicated to compile extensive research on a unique community that has somehow managed to stay the same over the years: a small beach town. Several members of the Ocean Beach Historical Society have accordingly released their long-awaited book, simply entitled “Ocean Beach.” During the group’s August meeting, held at the United Methodist Church in Ocean Beach, the OB Historical Society made the book available to a packed house of society members and interested guests. “Ocean Beach,” produced by Arcadia Publishing-Images of America, is now available in several locations throughout Ocean Beach for $21.99 plus tax. All proceeds will support programs of the OB Historical Society. The book is a fascinating collection of more than 200 photographs and images with extensive descriptions. It takes you on a time travel from the earliest days of the 1800s, when the coastal areas would attract visitors to enjoy the cliffs, rock formations and picnic spots at the ocean. The photos, maps and images provide an understanding of how Ocean Beach went through growing pains in the early 1900s before establishing itself as a family-oriented community. The amazing fact is how this small beach town managed to keep its unique identity over the years while being a stone’s throw from one of America’s largest cities. “Ocean Beach” is a group effort by several members of the OB Historical Society. Jonnie Wilson, the book’s editor and
Members of the OB Historical Society who contributed to the publication “Ocean Beach” are, from left, Dedi Ridenour, Jonnie Wilson, Jane Gawronski, Barbara Bush, Susan James, Kathy Blavatt and Stephanie Greenwald. Courtesy photo
primary writer, was supported by the extensive research of Kathy Blavatt, who collected hundreds of historical photos and documents. Susan James, wife of the acting historical society president Pat James, acted as the project manager and organized the overall production. Several others assisted in the layout photo selection, caption writing and revisions of the 127-page publication. Mary Allely, the archivist of the OB Historical Society, worked with Barbara Bush, Jane Gawronski, Stephanie Greenwald and Dedi Ridenour. Other volunteers, like Annie Marsch, Margaret Blue and Heather Reed, provided hours of their time to the research and production. Photographer Steve Powell donated photos from his own collection, along with help from Gawronski. Rick Crawford, supervisor of special collections at the San Diego Public Library, donated his time by reviewing the final draft of the book.

BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON In Point Loma’s annual home-opening Kickoff Game on Sept. 6, the kickoffs weren’t the problem. But two crucial kicking-game errors cost the Pointers (1-1) dearly as they dropped a hard-fought 7-6 decision to a tough Ramona (2-0) squad in front of the home crowd. The first miscue came as the Pointers’ initial possession of the game ended with a punt attempt by junior Jaime Medina. A Bulldog player dashed past the protection and blocked the kick. After recovering the loose ball in excellent field position, the Bulldogs cashed in the gift on an 11-yard pass play to take a 7-0 lead with 3:04 left in the opening quarter. That small margin stood for most of the game as the teams staged a spirited battle that found neither side able to put points on the board. Just when it appeared Ramona might be about to hang a shutout loss on the Pointers, senior defensive end Jake Virissimo snatched an errant Bulldog pass attempt, the interception coming with just 4:58 to play in the game. After several good runs by the Pointer trio of Jaylen Griffin, Romeo Epperley and Jacob Ehm that took their team into the red zone, the Pointers found themselves facing a fourth down at the Bulldog 18yard line. The Pointers clawed for the first down, and, several plays later, quarterback Gavin Grady tossed a swing pass into the right flat, Epperley gathering it in and sprinting 11 yards for the touchdown.
Pointer head coach Mike Hastings elected to go for the one-point kick to tie the game, but once again a Ramona player was left free to block Medina’s attempt, and the Bulldogs ran out the remaining 2:34 after the kickoff to seal the Pointers’ fate. Earlier in the fourth quarter, a Pointers drive died near the Bulldog goal line when they failed to convert a fourth-down play. The drive was kept alive when alert senior wide receiver Sergio Gallegos was able to pounce on a Pointer fumble as the loose pigskin tumbled toward the goal line. A tense sequence took place in the second quarter when the Pointers staged a goal-line stand, halting a Ramona drive on fourth down just inches from a touchdown. However, when an apparent catch of a Grady pass by junior Caleb Johnson was ruled incomplete after the ball dislodged from his hands as he hit the turf, the Pointers were forced to punt from the end zone. Medina’s punt, into an unusually strong westerly breeze, allowed the Bulldogs to start their short-field drive from the Pointer 30, and they quickly moved toward a second score. But a called pass play by Bulldog coaches failed as Johnson, now playing defensive back, intercepted a tipped ball and returned it nearly to midfield, thwarting the visitors’ drive. “It was a hard-fought game,” Hastings said, “especially defensively. Our kids defended short fields and only gave up one touchdown. Our offense didn’t get going until the fourth quarter. “The game is played in all three phases and, unfortunately, we didn’t win in special teams today,” Hastings said. “But
we’ve got a resilient team, and we’ll bounce back from this and get better.” The Pointers travel to Lincoln High on Sept. 12 for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff and return to Pete Ross Stadium Sept. 19 for a 3 p.m. start, themed a “First Responders Salute Game” to honor local emergency-service providers.
POINTERS 38, EL CAMINO 28 The Pointers gave up a 79-yard punt return in the first minutes of their 2014 season on Aug. 29, falling behind El Camino 14-0 before awakening to outscore the Wildcats 38-14 the rest of the way en route to a 38-28 victory on the Oceanside field. The victory avenged a 14-13 loss on the same turf last November that ended the Pointers’ disappointing 5-6 season in
the first round of CIF Div. I playoffs. Pointer running backs rolled up 374 yards rushing, accounting for all five touchdowns. Griffin notched 176 of those on nine carries for a 19.6 average. One run covered 66 yards.
EXTRA POINTS • The Pointers made a new entrance to their stadium by waiting in the school’s weight room just steps away from the field on Sept. 6 against Ramona. When they were ready to take the field, the team emerged from the stadium tunnel, led by linebacker Dan O’Beirne waving an American flag. • The Pointer junior varsity team stands at 2-0 after defeating the Wildcats 33-10 and Bulldogs 20-13. The freshman team (1-1) lost 28-0 to the Wildcats and topped the Bulldogs 13-6. • Point Loma High has added two assistant coaches with NFL experience.

PLNU volleyball program picked to win PacWest The Point Loma Nazarene University’s (PLNU) women’s volleyball team has been named the Pacific West Conference preseason favorite to win the league in 2014, according to the coaches’ poll released Aug. 26. PLNU received 160 points to narrowly edge defending conference champions BYU-Hawaii. The Sea Lions also had three studentathletes named to the seven-person Preseason All-PacWest Team. Savannah Wedemeyer was named the preseason Setter of the Year, while Alyssa Dwyer and Heather Leavitt joined her on the preseason all-conference team as a middle blocker and outside hitter, respectively.
Point Loma received five of the 13 first-place votes and was ranked second or better on 12 of the 13 ballots to accumulate its 160 points. BYU-Hawaii received seven first-place votes, while Fresno Pacific received the other. — Point Loma Nazarene University Athletics Communications Dept.
Your neck, also called the cervical spine, begins at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae. Incredibly, the cervical spine supports the full weight of the head, which is on average about 12 pounds. While the cervical spine can move your head in nearly every direction, this flexibility makes the neck very susceptible to pain and injury. The neck's susceptibility to injury is due in part to biomechanics. Activities and events that affect cervical biomechanics include extended sitting, repetitive movement, accidents, falls and blows to the body or head, normal aging, and every day wear and tear. Neck pain can be very bothersome, and it can have a variety of causes. Here are some of the most typical causes of neck pain: Injury and Accidents; Growing Older (degenerative disorders such as osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease directly affect the spine); and Daily Life (poor posture, obesity, and weak abdominal muscles often disrupt spinal balance, causing the neck to bend forward to compensate. Head and neck posturing with a habitual ‘poking chin’ (cervical protrusion) can result in adaptive shortening of the occipital muscles. It also causes the cervical spine to change alignment resulting in increased stress of the facet joints and posterior discs and other posterior elements. ‘Upper Crossed Syndrome’ shows the effect of a ‘poking chin’ posture on the muscles. With this syndrome, the deep neck flexors are weak, as are the rhomboids, serratus anterior, and often the lower trapezius. Opposite these weak muscles are tight pectoralis major and minor, along with upper trapezius and levator scapulae. A Licensed Physical Therapist after evaluating the neck region and the body globally would use his/her fine-tuned skills to per-
form any of these varied treatments: Therapeutic Exercises (focusing on strengthening deep neck and pariscapular muscles) Manual Therapy (to include soft tissue massage, joint mobilization/manipulation, and manual traction); Postural /Biomechanics Retrainng; and Modalities (such as mechanical traction, electrical stimulation, and cold laser).

In addition to the 5K and the 1-mile run/walk, the event features a FURever Yours Expo, Lassie Loop Lil Kids Dash, and a PAWsitively Pink Costume Contest.

San Diego business and community leader Craig Irving and his wife, Rebecca, will open their home on Saturday, Sept. 13 for a special evening to raise funds for The Rosie Network (TRN) during the annual Point Loma Dinner at their beautiful cliffside home in Point Loma. The Rosie Network is a San Diegobased nonprofit organization founded by U.S. Navy SEAL spouses to address the high unemployment rates of military spouses and transitioning veterans with the goal to strengthen today’s families through entrepreneurship. Built on the iconic “Rosie the Riveter” figure of the 1940s, the evening will honor the original “Rosies” on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and celebrate the work of today’s “Rosies,” who continue the tradition of hard work and sacrifice on the homefront. The dinner will be held from 5:30 to 10 p.m. and will feature two special guest speakers from the U.S. Navy SEAL community to share the importance of strengthening today’s military families who sacrifice so
