School crosswalk boo-boo by city may be corrected BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON
U.S. COAST GUARD: OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
The two yellow lines painted in the middle of the 4700 block of Santa Monica Avenue a few years ago may well hold the record for the shortest-lived crosswalk in history. The crosswalk was intended to address the unusual campus configuration at Ocean Beach Elementary School, where two of the four kindergarten classes meet at the 105-year-old main campus — affectionately known as “the Big School” — on the south side of the street. The other two classrooms are on the north side, tucked away between the Pioneer Day School and the Ocean Beach Recreation
Center. What happened next is the kind of thing that makes taxpayers cringe. Within days, the crosswalk was gone like disappearing ink. It seems no one at the city remembered the requirement that a midblock crosswalk must be accompanied by a streetlight. To correct the mistake, a red-faced city administration dispatched a crew to blacken out the yellow lines. “It was like the angels came, then took it away,” said Nicole Burgess, a pedestrian/bicycling activist and mother of three children who attended the school.

NEWS 2 Festival marking Cabrillo’s landing in Point Loma enters 50th year THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 19, 2013
THE PENINSULA BEACON
BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Little did Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo know when he stepped ashore on Sept. 28, 1542 on Ballast Point — a tiny peninsula extending into San Diego Bay from Point Loma — that the event would be commemorated forever after and become a state holiday. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the modern-day San Diego celebration of Cabrillo’s landing, the first European explorer to discover the West Coast of the United States. San Diego’s Cabrillo Festival 2013 will be held Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28 and 29. “We’re going back in time and commemorating the voyages of exploration along the coast of California and Cabrillo’s arrival in San Diego,” said Idalmiro Manuel da Rosa, Cabrillo Festival president. Da Rosa said the two-day festival also highlights the culture and traditions of San Diego’s 15,000 to 20,000 Portuguese. “We have banners up and down Rose-
scrans Street,” said da Rosa. “The festival has the support of all local organizations, including the Point Loma Association, as well as the tremendous support of Naval Base Point Loma, which hosts the festival’s events on Sunday.” On Sept. 28, the weekend celebration kicks off with a commemorative ceremony and wreath-laying event to honor Cabrillo at the Cabrillo National Monument, 1800 Cabrillo Memorial Drive. This will be followed by the Cabrillo Discovery Celebration Dinner-Dance at the United Portuguese S.E.S. Hall, 2818 Avenida de Portugal in Point Loma at 6 p.m., with no host cocktails, dinner and dancing at $50 per person. On Sept. 29, the Cabrillo Festival changes venues to Ballast Point, Naval Base Point Loma at the south end of Rosecrans Street. The free event features music, dancing, children’s activities and foods of Native Americans, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. There will also be knot tying and Kumeyaay basket making. The highlight of the Cabrillo Festival is the Sept. 29 re-enactment of Cabrillo’s 16th century landing on the shores of

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 become San Diego, Cabrillo died of an infection on the islands outside Santa Barbara.

Volunteers team to revitalize, beautify eyesore areas BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The freeway medians of the world don’t get much respect. Largely overlooked, generally unappreciated, they typically are gateways into communities and the first — and last — thing visitors see entering and exiting. Such is the case with freeway medians off Interstate 5 heading into Ocean Beach and Point Loma. Two local nonprofits — the Point Loma Association (PLA), made up of residents and local businesses donating and volunteering to improve the Peninsula; and the Ocean Beach Community Development Corporation (OBCDC), which is dedicated to promoting the vibrancy of that neighborhood — have teamed for years to create attractive freeway medians heading into and out of the Peninsula area.
PLA annual gala dinner set for Oct. 3 The Point Loma Association (PLA) will host its annual gala dinner on Thursday, Oct. 3 at the Liberty Station Conference Center, celebrating volunteers, major community accomplishments and raising funds for future projects across Point Loma. The PLA dinner is a celebration of all that is Point Loma, including music of the Point, featuring musical ensembles from Point Loma High School, Correia Middle School, an incredible drummer from Dana Middle School and PLNU’s Point Loma Opera Theater, all under the direction and musical spirit of Glen Fisher of the First Friday Club. The dinner also includes opportunities to donate directly to the Nimitz
Greenway Project. The dinner supports the PLA’s community projects and activities such as: • The Nimitz Boulevard beautification project planning. Bolstered by generous grants from the city, county and private donations, the association is ready to begin the project that will involve the beautification of the corridor between West Point Loma Boulevard and Harbor Drive. • Newly painted utility boxes throughout the community. • Continued beautification of the landscaping and trees at the corner of W.

5 Environmentalists, political leaders propose ban on plastic bags THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 19, 2013
THE PENINSULA BEACON
City committee also votes to move ahead with new tougher ordinance BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The City Council’s Rules and Economic Development Committee unanimously voted to move ahead Sept. 11 with crafting an ordinance to reduce singleuse plastic shopping bags at grocery stores and other retail outlets. “Now is the time for San Diego to take a leadership role on limiting single-use plastic bags and reducing the pollution associated with them,” said District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner. “As we can see from best practices from other cities, the benefits are real and can be done in a way that won’t burden our local businesses or our most vulnerable residents.” In a parallel effort, a grassroots movement to protect marine wildlife by eliminating single-use plastic bags that can end up in oceans off San Diego and statewide gained traction recently with a news conference at SeaWorld. The popular marine park, which stopped using plastic bags in spring 2011, was an appropriate venue. “That one change to our business operation resulted in a reduction of one million bags per year that would have ended up in a landfill or worse, in the ocean,” said SeaWorld president John Reilly. Elected officials, business and civic leaders and environmentalists gathered Aug. 29 to declare support for SB 405, a bill authored by state Sen. Alex Padilla (D-20th) to phase out single-use plastic bags in California, which is to be resubmitted in 2014.
QUICKHITS Driver whose son died in fatal crash to stand trial
Padilla said he was at the conference to deliver two messages. “The first is a thank you to SeaWorld for leadership in voluntarily phasing out plastic bags, and the other is to call attention to our bill in Sacramento,” he said. Padilla noted more than 80 California cities and counties have voted to discontinue using plastic bags. But only one San Diego community, Solana Beach, has followed suit thus far. Padilla said studies have shown only 3 percent of plastic bags get recycled. Where does the other 97 percent go? “In the ocean, on the beach, in rivers and parks and our sewer systems to the tune of $25 million a year for government to try and collect and divert to landfills or recycle,” said Padilla. “That’s money that cities won’t have to spend chasing plastic bags.” Dave Koontz of SeaWorld public relations and marine park staffer Jody Westberg were on hand Aug. 29 to demonstrate just how dangerous plastic trash ending up in the ocean really is to marine wildlife. “We’ve seen firsthand the negative impacts plastic bags can have on the coastal ecosystem,” Koontz said, noting sea turtles are particularly susceptible as they mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, which they ingest. “We’ve actually had to remove the remains of plastic bags from inside them,” Koontz said, adding other forms of plastic, including fishing lines and sixpack carriers, have also proved problematic for sea life.
Westberg showed up with an armful of plastic trash, including a lobster pot, fishing lines and netting, as well as other plastic items recovered from the ocean. “We had a California sea lion in rehab that actually regurgitated plastic bags,” Westberg said. “It’s not that there’s a callous disregard that people are consciously polluting,” said Koontz. “It’s just this feeling that one little piece of trash is not going to amount to anything. But if you take and multiply all of this, it’s very cumulative with a detrimental impact.” Nathan Weaver of Environment California, a statewide citizen-based environmental advocacy organization, said his group is taking the anti-plastic crusade to the streets. “Plastic bags are one of the most common garbage items on California beaches,” said Weaver. “The single best way to clean up plastic bags is simply not to use them.” Weaver said 10,000 San Diegans have signed a petition calling for a ban on plastic bags. Weaver said Environment California is SeaWorld employee Jody Westburg holds up plastic refuse found in the ocean. Photo by Dave Schwab I The Beacon willing to work with the San Diego City Council to draft an anti-plastic ordinance that’s “right for San Diego.” He said the organization will do the same for other municipalities statewide. Asked if it would be difficult to wean people from using plastic bags, Padilla According to industry experts, there are altogether. In most cases, you can make said, “Local ordinances demonstrate over 33 physical problems that will come a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you that people adapt very quickly.

His attorney, Hector Tamayo, argued to San Diego Superior Court Judge Amalia Meza that “this is a tragedy” and urged her to dismiss the child endangerment charge. Deputy District Attorney Marisa Di Tillio argued Fabilio was negligent and was aware that police and paramedics were coming who might have saved the boy. Meza ruled there was enough evidence for trial on both charges and a trial date will be set on Oct. 1. Fabiani remains free on $500,000 bond. He is on probation for a misdemeanor DUI conviction in 2011. If convicted, he could be sentenced to seven years in prison. — Neal Putnam

Annual OB Fishing Derby returns Sept. 28 The Ocean Beach Pier will once again be the site of the annual OB Fishing
Derby, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Ocean Beach. Local children will cast lines from the pier on Saturday, Sept. 28 to fish and win prizes during the free event for children and families. There will be free punch, popcorn, and prizes for children (up to age 12) who catch a fish between 8 and 11 a.m. Families are encouraged to fish together, but in order to be eligible for a prize, the fish must actually be landed by the child. Participants must bring their own fishing gear (pole, tackle, etc.). Bait will be provided courtesy of the Ocean Beach Pier Bait and Tackle shop. No fishing license is required. Registration is free in front of the bait shop. Prizes will be awarded beginning at 11 a.m. for the child who catches the most fish, as well as prizes for the biggest, smallest and “ugliest or most unusual” fish. The Kiwanis Club of Ocean Beach, which contributed to the building of the pier back in the 1950s, has been holding this children’s fishing derby for decades.

Coastal Cleanup Day slated for Sept. 21 I Love A Clean San Diego will launch its 29th annual Coastal Cleanup Day on Sept. 21. The event is expected to draw about 8,000 volunteers to more than 100 sites across San Diego County, including inland and beach community locations. Inland trash is not just an eyesore, according to environmental advocates. An estimated 80 percent of all trash that ends up in the ocean originates from inland sites.

NEWS MEDIANS CONTINUED FROM Page 3
Both groups would eventually like to see all freeway medians in the area embraced by the restoration effort. Although not yet finished from end to end, a true success story in the joint revitalization project is demonstrated along a good portion of the large freeway median island near the Nimitz Boulevard and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard split just before the Interstate 8 East entrance. Once a wasteland, the finished portion of the median island is now more like a park, thanks to the work of numerous community volunteers, including the late Hugh Story and the PLA and one of its members in particular, Ed Streicher. “Right now we have a landscape company that takes care of it all,” said Robert Tripp Jackson, PLA chairman, while recently surveying the well-tended and attractive island median surrounded by palm trees and dotted with cactus and other drought-tolerant plants. But just a couple of hundred yards away, pointed out Jackson, is another, much smaller median. This one dried out and is clearly in need of attention. “We’re trying to get the word out that we need help with this,” said Jackson. “The PLA wants to be part of the solution to find a remedy to improve this area because it’s our gateway.

“We’re trying to get the word out that we need help with this [median beautification]. The [Point Loma Association wants to be part of the solution to find a remedy to improve this area because it’s our gateway.

we want to get out to folks is, ‘Let’s all pull together to try and find a solution to fix this.’” Tom Perrotti, OBCDC president, said the island median’s restoration “is looking good,” noting 30 years ago that open space was “a sand dune.” “Compared to what it was, it’s just spectacular,” Perotti said. But, Perrotti said that was just phase one of the median-revitalization project, pointing out there’s much more work to be done. “Now we’re into the second phase, doing two other smaller medians, which have fallen into a stressed situation because of the water lines, which we’re in negotiations with the city to maintain as our organization isn’t set up to do that,” he said. “Hopefully, those two medians will (one day) look as nice as the very large one.” Concerning progress in negotiations with the city toward median maintenance, Perrotti said, “We’re in a holding pattern until we determine what the city is going to do, and that’s going to happen within the next few months.”
Meanwhile, Jackson and the PLA are forging ahead with plans to extend freeway median restoration to include all of the gateway area into Ocean Beach and Point Loma. “With the help of [District 2 City] Councilman [Kevin] Faulconer’s office, we’re improving the medians starting at West Point Loma Boulevard going south to the Catalina Boulevard offramp,” said Jackson. “We’re hoping to start on that this year,” he said. “As money becomes available, we’re going to ultimately take that all the way down to Harbor Drive, about two miles.” Jackson said community support is being sought for median reclamation. He noted several prominent local families have stepped forward with donations of nearly $20,000. “It’s going to cost in the low $100,000s for the first phase,” he said. “We’re hoping to start on that this winter to catch the rains.” Anyone interested in donating toward the freeway median-beautification project, or learning more about it, to email rtrippj@aol.com.

A self-described math and science “geek” who thinks he’d ultimately like to be an engineer, Desharnais said he’s never really fancied himself as a singer. But Michelle Desharnais says different. “He used to constantly be singing. It would drive me insane,” she said. But she also admits she began listening, finally determining that her son actually “sounded pretty good.” “He had a nice tone,” Michelle Desharnais said. She finally talked him into getting voice lessons, which have since paid div-

idends. It was Michelle who finally coaxed Desharnais into recording a song which she submitted online to the “X Factor.” Michelle Desharnais said she and her son both realize the odds against him since he’s competing “against professionals, against people who give voice lessons.” But she was quick to point out that, win or lose, competing in the contest will be “a great story to tell his grandkids.” Ty Desharnais said the experience already has been character changing, making him feel more secure in his abilities — and bolder in his aspirations. “Anything I try to do, I try to do to the fullest,” he said. “Sometimes my goals seem a little high, almost impossible. Almost is the key word. Nothing’s impossible.” Of actually singing on a stage in front
of a live audience, Ty Desharnais said, “It was great, overwhelming. It was like nothing I’ve ever felt before.” He said he would recommend the experience to “anyone who has a dream of singing and wanting to fulfill it.” Ty Desharnais said you have to have talent to be a singer, but, like anything else, you have to work hard to develop the necessary skills. “You can’t just jump into this and think you can sing,” he said. “You have to go to a voice coach and learn how to breathe through your diaphragm and how to say your vowels.” Most importantly, Ty Desharnais said, to be good at doing something like singing, you just have to roll with it. “You have to have fun with it,” he said. “Don’t be worried about it. Just go and have fun. I did. I’m thankful for the awesome experience.”

The before- and after-school scene is usually a bit chaotic at most schools as parents drop off and pick up their children. But with the Newport Avenue business district and high-traffic commutes on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard next door, the need for school-bound children and cars to coexist is an even greater challenge, according to parents. “All it takes is for one of our kids to get hit by a car,” said Suzy Reid, who succeeded in enlisting the support of the Ocean Beach Town Council last month. Reid, a mother of two Ocean Beach Elementary students, serves in leadership roles on the school’s Site Governance Team and School Site Council. The crosswalk isn’t only needed before and after school, Reid said. The library, cafeteria, auditorium, main play fields and blacktop are on the main campus side. So when the northside kindergarteners eat lunch, have P.E., attend morning assembly, check out a book or participate in special events, it adds up to a lot of little feet heading over to “the Big School.” “For the full educational experience, they really need to be able to cross that street safely,” Reid said. After two years of “going in circles,” as Reid put it, the project now seems to be advancing. The streetlight has funding and is now in the process of being designed and assigned to a program manager, said Duncan Hughes, a senior traffic engineer for the city. Hughes said it was difficult to estimate a completion date, but offered a project of this kind could take roughly 16-18 months using the traditional bid-and-award process. However, efforts are under way to shorten the time frame because of community interest. One way might be to add the job to an existing general requirements contract, which could perhaps shave off 10 months, Hughes said. Once the streetlight is installed, details still remain, said Gary Pence, senior traffic engineer. Many have expressed a preference for a raised crosswalk, which would act as a speed bump and improve access for wheelchair-bound students. However, it would also reduce parking and require approval from the fire department because it would lack a cut in the middle for emergency-vehicle access. Fire officials have not yet weighed in on the project, Pence said. Meanwhile, crosswalk or not, various members of Simard’s crew show up at the school around 7:15 every morning, 30 minutes before school starts. At the blacked-out crosswalk, they set up cones and a sandwichboard sign that reads “School Crossing.” Thanks to funds from a grant Burgess helped secure, equipment was purchased through the “It’s Up to All of Us” campaign, a project funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. Simard said he was inspired to volunteer after witnessing too many close calls during walks to school with his son, Ian, now 7. When the school went to a K-4 configuration, the

environment through such activities as responding to oil spills and species protection from unauthorized fishing operations. Mahoney said the southwest border and proximity to Mexico is the key factor influencing activities that take place at Sector San Diego. Drug seizures and human trafficking are on the rise as smugglers get more brazen and desperate to operate with tightening enforcement along land borders. According to Mahoney, 25,000 lbs. of marijuana were intercepted in 2011 by the USCG in Southern California. By 2012, this amount had grown to 118,000 lbs., and so far this year, 80,000 lbs. have been seized. Smugglers,
using both panga boats — open-hulled Mexican fishing boats — and recreational boats trying to blend in with typical boating traffic, are making perilous voyages at night and landing farther north up the coastline trying to evade capture. In response, air support from Coast Guard C130 aircraft and helicopters and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine resources becomes ever more vital to enforcement, said Mahoney. San Diego’s closest neighboring Coast Guard sector is Los Angeles/Long Beach. The Coast Guard is unique in terms of military branches in that it is the only operation that falls under the Department of Homeland Security. Therefore, it has law enforcement authority. Coast Guard teams can board vessels, conduct investigations and regulate and patrol special events that take place on the

NEWS water. Special Coast Guard units, for example, deploy with Navy ships in Central America because they have the authority to board vessels where their naval counterparts do not. This follows a general trend of the USCG’s shift of focus to law enforcement. “There’s more of a maritime homeland security focus than we had prior to the attacks of 9/11,” said Mahoney. “The Coast Guard [used to be] more focused on search and rescue, but after [9/11], we brought maritime security to the forefront.” As far as the men and women who serve at Sector San Diego (about 20 percent of local personnel are female), Mahoney said it’s a combination of skill and determination that makes them so successful at what they do. “They have to be professional and they have to have a can-do attitude,” said Mahoney. “That’s the key right there. And they have to show respect for everybody, peers or subordinates or seniors alike. They have to treat everyone with respect.” A coveted bid typically chosen by USCG members with seniority, Sector San Diego attracts some of the organization’s top talent. Save for a few young single members who live in barracks on the base, a 23-acre bay front location across from Lindbergh Field, most personnel reside in San Diego communities with their families, including Mahoney, who lives in Point Loma with his wife and one of their two daughters who attends PLNU. While figures of the economic impact Sector San Diego makes to the region are unavailable, it is likely sizable due to sheer volume of Coast Guard families residing throughout the county, Mahoney said. When asked about the effects of sequestration, Mahoney said that while Sector San Diego initially saw a drop in

patrol hours for aircraft, small boats and cutters, the sequestration guidelines allow operational commanders discretion to determine where those cuts can be made. Their district commander has restored most of the patrol to levels almost the same as prior to the sequestration, though it has impacted travel and other administrative tasks. “We’re able to manage it at this point,” he said. One of Mahoney’s goals during his tenure as commander is to ensure the highest level of proficiency is kept among his crew. This can be challenging, given job descriptions may include duties like shooting out engines of fleeing speedboats, conducting hoists over rocking ships at night while wearing night-vision goggles and conducting marine inspections where the inspector needs to know
every single detail about the complex systems on commercial vessels and safetydrill procedures. “The amount of expertise is enormous, and just maintaining that expertise by making sure we are as proficient as we possibly can be is one area,” said Mahoney. His second goal is to continue to build and strengthen partnerships with other organizations. USCG operations require extensive collaboration with myriad agencies ranging from the Department of Homeland Security and Border Patrol to local, county and federal agencies, and their neighbor with whom they share the bay — the San Diego Harbor Police. On Aug. 4, Sector San Diego held its annual Coast Guard Day festivities, celebrating the anniversary of Coast Guard’s establishment in 1790.

Inaugural fundraising paddle for M.S. cure set for Oct. 5 in OB BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Organizers are putting the finishing touches on a first-ever fundraising event that hits the surf at Ocean Beach early next month. The inaugural Wave Goodbye to M.S. Paddle for the Cure gets under way from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 5 on the sand at the foot of Newport Avenue, with a goal of raising $100,000 to fund research and a cure for multiple sclerosis. Plenty of music, refreshments and fun are also planned before the event ends. To date, three custom surfboards have been donated as prizes, while guests are
expected to include famed surfer Robert “Wingnut” Weaver — who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis himself — and heartthrob Kiptyn Locke, who rose to fame on “The Bachelor” TV show. The band High Tide will perform reggae and surf music throughout the event. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that causes the immune system to attack the central nervous system. Participants are being registered at $25 per person to use any form of humanpowered flotation to transport themselves around the entire pier. This includes any type of surfboard, including stand-up
models, boogie boards, canoes, kayaks and more. Besides the entry fee, each person involved is urged to seek contributions and sponsorships from friends and family. Lifeguards will be stationed in the water to guide and protect participants. Families, friends and spectators are encouraged to gather on the pier to cheer on paddlers. Companies supporting the event will be recognized in various ways and will be invited to post signs, posters and distribute free gifts to event attendees. Those donating $5,000 or more will earn a “Big Kahuna” title.
Volunteers are also being sought to help stage the event. Wave Goodbye to M.S. is a 100 percent nonprofit, tax-deductible fundraiser. Event organizers are Steve Bettis and Mitch Murphy. Registration and check in takes place from 7 to 8 a.m., with opening announcements and guest speakers on stage from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. The paddle is set for 9 to 11 a.m., with prize drawings and closing remarks from 11 a.m. to noon.

With so much emphasis lately on the U.S. healthcare system, good communication between patient and doctor is being increasingly emphasized. New apps and technology is a sign that healthcare providers are quite focused on better engagement with their patients. Doctor’s are even taking communication training in order to improve how they engage their patients. So what do you do if you feel the relationship with your doctor just isn’t working? Changing your doctor can be time-consuming and difficult. Before leaving your present doctor, try to resolve the issues you may be having. The following is a guide on when you should consider leaving your present physician. You leave his office without answers to your questions. If you leave confused or unsure on what you should be doing next, the doctor is not communicating which is his responsibility. Your doctor ignores your ideas and questions. Physicians should be interested in what you are concerned about regarding your health. Your doctor misdiagnosed you. Doctors can make mistakes and that isn’t necessarily a reason to find a new doctor unless his disinterest in you causes a life-threatening or catastrophic problem. Your doctor is offended with your request for a second opinion. A doctor should be happy that you are taking an interest in your healthcare and should even suggest other physicians. Your physician is not board certified. Board certification shows the doctor is interested in continuing to be assessed and educated in his specialty. The RN Geriatric Care Managers from Innovative Healthcare Consultants are available to help patients by discussing their concerns. They will advocate for the patient with the physician and help the patient understand their rights. View our website at www.innovativehc.com or call us at (877) 731-1442.

Pointers power to impressive ‘W’ over Lincoln BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Nobody likes to deal with a pack of angry dogs, and Point Loma’s Pointers had a few reasons to make them growl at visiting Lincoln High on Sept. 14. The Hornets stung the Pointers twice last year, including a 21-17 CIF victory that ended the Pointers’ season. And, if that wasn’t enough motivation, the Pointers entered the match with the Hornets winless after two season-opening losses. This time, the Pointers (1-2) sent the Hornets (0-3) flying back to the Hive after a convincing 38-15 win at Bennie Edens Field. “We’ve just been getting better each week,” said Pointer head coach Mike Hastings. “That first week (against Olympian), we made a lot of mistakes. Then I thought we took a big step forward last week at Ramona. Then today, we just put it all together.” So feisty were the Dogs they built a 17-0 first-half lead before the Hornets scored with 19 seconds remaining for a 17-7 margin at the break. A.J. Smith scored from 6 yards out

in the first quarter, while Jason Shoemaker nailed a 37-yard field goal and Drew Rutledge leaped high in the end zone to haul in a six-yard pass on fourth down from quarterback Gavin Grady. The second half again belonged to the Pointers, marked by a quickly controlled third-period altercation. Tight end Jake Wambaugh hauled in a Grady pass at the Lincoln 10-yard line and appeared headed for a score when he was hit and stripped of the ball. A scuffle for the loose pigskin escalated briefly as Pointer coaches ran onto the field, ordering their players to the sideline. Game officials ejected a Lincoln player for his role in the skirmish and another later for a violent hit on a Pointer punter. On the next play, Lincoln’s Jaechon Murphy broke into the Point Loma secondary and outraced defenders for a 95-yard touchdown that left the score at 24-15. If the Hornets were to be revived by the situation, that was quickly answered on the kickoff as Jalen Griffin took the ball at his own 15 and ran
down the right sideline for an 85-yard score of his own, putting the Pointers up 31-15 with 1:38 left in the third quarter. Other second-half scores were provided by Romeo Epperley on a nineyard run and Smith on a 57-yard
jaunt that provided the final margin. On the afternoon, the Pointers rushed for 329 yards. Smith had 176 of those on 21 carries. Epperley had 53 yards, Griffin totaled 44 and Jacob Ehm added 43. Defensively, the Dogs pressured Lin-
coln quarterbacks throughout the game. Linemen Wambaugh, Jake Virissimo, Cole Kidd and others held the Hornets to under 200 yards of total offense, including the 95-yard score. SEE VICTORY, Page 14

The Pointers drew within one point to make it 14-13 when the extra point kick failed. But a short Pointer punt gave the Bulldogs the ball at the visitor’s 43-yard line shortly before intermission, and the Bulldogs scored their final points of the game, taking a 21-13 lead with 57.7 seconds remaining. A nicely executed third-quarter Pointer drive ended with a touchdown pass from quarterback Quinn Bohannon to Smith in the right flat. A two-point conversion run fell short in what would result in the final score of the game with 7:27 left in the third period. The Pointers mounted another sustained and possible game-winning drive early in the fourth quarter as runs by Smith, Jacob Ehm and others took them to the Bulldog five-yard line. From there, Bulldog defenders battered a Pointer runner from several directions, successfully dislodging the ball and recovering the fumble on the one-yard line to end what would be the final Pointer threat of the night.

“I couldn’t be happier for these kids,” Hastings said. “They’ve been working really hard to get to this point. Offensively, we made some great drives, and the defense came out and gave a great effort.” The Pointers travel to Morse High on Friday, Sept. 20 for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff on the Tigers’ field. Also 1-2, the Tigers won their first game last week with a 22-13 nod over University City. Last year, the Pointers defeated the Tigers 38-6 at home. EXTRA POINTS • Pointer players, with their first victory, earned their familiar “Angry Dog” logo stickers and their first “win” stick-
er for their helmets, which have been blank to date. • The Pointers’ Oct. 11 away league game against Kearny has been moved to Madison High at 6:30 p.m. Kearny has no stadium lights. • The Pointer junior varsity (2-1) defeated Lincoln 9-0 and the freshman team (2-1) shut out St. Augustine 260. The Saints replaced Lincoln, which, like several Pointer opponents, is unable to field a freshman squad. • Starting varsity Pointer quarterback Quinn Bohannon did not play (ankle injury), while top running back Dirk Lacy has yet to make his 2013 season debut from a slow-healing injury. The Hornets only list 29 players on their varsity, and with a half-dozen injured and not in uniform, were already short-handed.

Tender Greens way: serving up passion for food and community BY TERRIE LEIGH RELF | THE BEACON The Tender Greens restaurant group was founded by Erik Oberholtzer, Matt Lyman and David Dressler because the trio wanted “to offer a fine-dining experience at an affordable price,” said Christina Wong, Tender Greens’ director of public relations. Tender Greens provides high-quality, healthy, farmers-market-style food prepared in a fine-dining style, according to Wong. Architect Bill Terramorse designed Liberty Station’s Tender Greens restaurant, as well as the very first location in Culver City. The downtown San Diego and University Towne Center-La Jolla sites were designed by Valerio Architects. Wong said the architects wanted to offer a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere with a modern, comfortable vibe. “The original idea was that we’d take a beach house, outfit it with a killer kitchen and entertain all our friends with food we’d want to eat,” said Wong. “The color palette is warm, bright and cozy with yellows, greens, natural wood.” The first San Diego-based Tender Greens opened in June 2008 at Point Loma’s Liberty Station, serving as the training camp for the newer restaurants under mentor and executive chef Peter Balistreri. The new downtown San Diego site opened in June. One of the many sustainable business practices embraced by Tender Greens is to rotate staff so it experiences the Tender Greens way: a passion for food, community and team spirit. The Tender Greens at UTC-La Jolla opened in June 2012, and another will be setting up shop at San Diego International Airport in September. Tender Greens also puts emphasis on another sustainable practice: passion projects. Wong said these are an integral ingredient of the Tender Greens mission statement. Balistreri, for example, “taught himself how to make salumi and offered his handcrafted salumi as part of his daily specials and charcuterie platter,” said Wong.
He now has his own line of artisan salumi and charcuterie available wholesale to chefs, restaurants and retail at the Tender Greens restaurants. One of the key ingredients to a sustainable restaurant model is creating salads, soups and other dishes, like fresh fruit cobblers, using local, seasonable produce. The chefs also shop the local
farmers markets for inspiration to prepare twice-daily specials. Tender Greens uses “every part of the animal, so you might see roast beef one day, then slow-cooked beef cheeks or tenderloin another day,” said Wong. The pastry team makes all desserts

from scratch, and each restaurant has its own specialties, including downtown San Diego’s decadent gluten-free peanut butter cookies. Depending on what’s in season, one may finish off a meal with a berry crisp topped with vanilla ice cream, or perhaps a chocolate or carrot cupcake. Tender Greens also supports local artists. “Each location features custom artwork by local artists who create pieces that capture the feel of the respective neighborhood and communities,” said Wong. “We worked with San Diego artist Nan Coffey, who created fun art pieces for our Point Loma and downtown San Diego locations. Jon Burgerman created the art at UTC-La Jolla.”
Other sustainable practices include using reclaimed, recycled and environmentally friendly products whenever possible. “Our restaurants are now 100 percent LED lights to cut down on electricity use,” said Wong. “We also implemented a bottle-less system and completely eliminated bottle consumption at our newer restaurants. All wine, beer, water and even house-made soda is served through a draft system to eliminate the use of plastic bottles and temper waste.” Jodie Wilson, manager of the downtown Tender Greens location, said the décor, lighting, colors and food quality are all about providing the customer with a greater dining experience. “It’s a it’s lots of fun to work here,” said Wilson. “We have a great team that strives to bring good food and service to our customers.”
BUSINESS Operations manager Leanne Ringquist, who transferred to the downtown venue from the Point Loma Tender Greens, agrees. “We have a loyal customer base,” said Ringquist. “Some of our Poing Loma regulars have also come here to eat since we opened. The downtown site is a mix of Point Loma personnel and new hires, as we want to maintain a consistent style.” Tender Greens locations are open from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily at: • Point Loma (Liberty Station) — 2400 Historic Decatur Road; (619) 2266254 • Downtown — 110 W. Broadway; (619) 795-2353 • UTC-La Jolla — 4545 La Jolla Village Drive; (858) 455-9395.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 18 Tribute-band impersonator Levine making a real name for himself THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 19, 2013
THE PENINSULA BEACON
BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON An Ocean Beach resident since 2010, few performers have become as deeply entrenched in the local music scene as quickly as Ariel Levine. Originally from New York, Levine currently plays rhythm guitar in a band called Dinosaur Ghost and lead guitar with Josh Damigo’s group, as well as bass with singersongwriter Joshua Taylor and occasional gigs with the Mario Escovedo Experience. He also does studio work, helping other musicians get their sounds down. But where Levine has really established himself is in the tribute-band circuit, where he plays the role of three major rockstars. His main tribute band is The Distractions, which has Levine look-
“I find the best thing to do when you’re doing an impression of someone is to sing like you’re making fun of them. Without actually making a joke out of the situation. It’s tough to explain, but it works for Elvis [Costello] and Ric Ocasek.” ARIEL LEVINE Musical artist impersonator
ing and sounding like Elvis Costello. Performing as Ric Ocasek, he fronts a Cars tribute act called The Dangerous Types. Finally, he’s also a substitute Noel Gallagher in an Oasis cover band called Foasis. Notably, he has previously imperson-
ated Malcolm Young in AC/DC tribute Back 2 Black. “The tribute band scene in Southern California is a riot. It’s a great way to make some bread and get up on stage.” Levine said he has a system when it comes to getting his chosen impression down right. “I find the best thing to do when you’re doing an impression of someone is to sing like you’re making fun of them, mocking them,” he said. “Without actually making a joke out of the situation. It’s tough to explain, but it works for Elvis and for Ric Ocasek [impersonations].” He said that over time, he’s stopped concerning himself with trying to sound exactly like the records and just tries to put on a high-energy live show. “That way, even if someone in the audience has never heard a Costello song, they are still blown away by our show,” he said. “The Attractions were a punk band. So it’s okay if we play the songs a little fast, loud and out of control. It’s also important to just have fun with it and don’t ever take it too seriously. I like to treat the audience as if they’re in on a big joke and we’re all kind of goofing off and playing make believe.” Levine said he is quite happy with his decision to relocate from the East Coast. “I headed west until I couldn’t head any wester,” he joked. “Of all the places I lived in, OB/San Diego just seemed like the right place for me to be at the time. I figured if I was going to make the change and leave New York, I was going to do it right. There’s no sense in me living in Southern California unless I’m right on the water.” He said there are other really great neighborhoods in San Diego, but “If I’m

going to live in North Park, South Park, Golden Hill, etc, I might as well have stayed in Brooklyn.” He said he likes that Ocean Beach has a “vibe” of it’s own . “It’s a bit of a time capsule,” he said. “It’s the sleepy beach town I always dreamt of. I like that I see the same people every day and that I know all my neighbors. The water really calms me. I live right on the cliffs, south of Newport Avenue and I like that I can walk out of my front door and stare at the ocean, lis-
ten to the waves. It sounds hokey, but it really keeps me centered. I surf about as often as I can now. I’m getting better.” While he’s already in multiple tribute bands, Levine said he is considering making room on his schedule for one more. “There’s a guy out there who does an act called Elvis Prestello,” Levine said. “He looks, dresses, acts and sings like Elvis Presley, but sings Costello songs. Someday, I hope to share a bill with him and do the polar opposite. Sing Presley songs as Costello.”

THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON
Walk to fight blindness set at Liberty Station Touched by the idea that “A Cure is in Sight,” San Diego will again rally to fight blindness at the sixth annual San Diego 5K VisionWalk on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Liberty Station. The event is designed to raise $150,000 to support promising gene therapy, stem cell and pharmaceutical-based research that could save and even restore sight, according to organizers. Blinding retinal degenerative diseases like macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome affect more than 10 million Americans, but the Foundation Fighting Blindness is funding cutting-edge research and clinical trials that have actually restored significant vision in children and young adults who were previously blind. Co-chairing VisionWalk are 20year-old identical twins Alexa and Nicole Finzi of Rancho Santa Fe, who were unexpectedly diagnosed with the genetic retinal disease retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in 2011, despite no family history of vision problems. The girls still have near 20/20 vision with limitations only in dimmer settings, but RP causes night blindness and a progressive loss of peripheral sight that can lead to blindness. The women have traveled the country, competing for many years at the national level in synchronized ice skating, where 16 skaters
Twins Alexa and Nicole Finzi, 20, of Rancho Santa Fe, who were unexpectedly diagnosed with a genetic retinal disease in 2011, are coordinating the sixth annual San Diego 5K VisionWalk at Liberty Station on Nov. 9. Courtesy photo
perform together on the ice. Alexa went on to skate on Team USA. Both women are studying at Concordia University in Irvine. Alexa is pursuing psychology and a business minor, while Nicole is working to become an elementary education teacher. Determined to help
advance research that could one day save their sight, the Finzi sisters hope to rally their “Double Vision” walk team to build on the impressive $66,000 they raised last year. “Being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa was a complete shock,
but we’re hopeful because of the amazing research and many clinical trials the Foundation Fighting Blindness is making possible, including right here in San Diego,” said the women in a statement. “Raising awareness and funds for research through VisionWalk is our way to help move the needle forward so that one day, we and others won’t have to live in darkness.” Walkers and runners, many of whom are affected by retinal disease, are expected to participate in the family-friendly, free VisionWalk, which includes entertainment from a live band, children’s activities, a bounce house, laser tag, refreshments and more. Dogs and strollers are welcome on the scenic 3.1-mile walk/run course along the water. Serving as media sponsor for the event is Yelp. Other sponsors include San Diego County Ford Dealers Association. Since the VisionWalk program started in 2006, tens of thousands have participated in events across the country to raise more than $27 million for blindness research. The walk/run begins at 10 a.m. with registration at 9 a.m. at NTC Park on Cushing Road.

Inaugural benefit bike ride aims to help cancer center The Point Loma Rotary Club will present the inaugural Jim Krause Memorial Charity Bicycle Tour of Point Loma on Nov. 9 to benefit the UCSD Moores Cancer Center and other civic projects. Online registration is taking place until two weeks prior to the event, which will start at Liberty Station and traverse bike paths and routes around Point Loma. The ride has three distances to accommodate different levels of experience. The “family ride” is a 10 mile, relatively flat course mostly on bike paths in Liberty Station, Spanish Landing and Harbor Island along beautiful San Diego Bay and is perfect for cruisers, beginning riders, challenged athletes and families. The challenging “enthusiast ride” will allow participants to ride on roads in Point Loma that have been opened exclusively for this event on either a 25- or 52mile route that includes challenging hills around the Cabrillo National Monument, Sunset Cliffs, Mission Valley and Mission Gorge. The ride will also include a time-trial event from the Point Loma tidepools. Jim Krause was a longtime resident of San Diego and a member of the Point Loma Rotary Club. He died from pancreatic cancer last year, leaving a legacy of service to the community. In his memory, the Point Loma Rotary Club is organizing the Jim Krause Memorial Charity Bike Ride. His friends are sponsoring the ride to highlight the beautiful cycling areas in Point Loma and surrounding neighborhoods, promote a healthy lifestyle, and raise awareness of pancreatic cancer. The event is sponsored by the Mission Valley YMCA, Moment Cycle Sports, Vitalyte and the Point Loma Credit Union. For more information, visit www.ridethepoint.org.

Anderson was understandably pleased with the award. “It is an experimental piece in which I used two value plans for a painting, which had reverse dark and white areas, like a photo negative,” Anderson said. “I have wanted to do something with these value plans for quite a while and the experimental show seemed like the perfect opportunity.” Anderson is a retired art teacher from the San Diego Unified School District who spends her retirement painting and teaching children through the Watercolor Society’s education program. In her leisure time, she is an avid tennis player who also enjoys frequent canoe trips. She is also an active member of the Point Loma Artists Association.

The gallery is located in Point Loma’s Liberty Station at 2825 Dewey Road and is open Wednesdays through Sundays from10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.sdws.org.
