Myriad changes greet students returning to Point Loma Cluster BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Now that Labor Day has come and gone, students in the Point Loma Cluster of schools are back in class, having turned the page on another summer and beginning a new academic calendar year. The Point Loma school cluster includes Point Loma High School, Correia and Dana middle schools, as well as Silver Gate, Cabrillo, Dewey, Loma Portal, Sunset View and Ocean Beach elementary schools. Principals at Point Loma High and Ocean Beach Elementary said they’re delighted students have returned, noting they have much
to look forward to in the new school year. Hans Becker, the new principal at Point Loma High who served for five years as vice principal, talked about his educational philosophy. “I told staff what we focus on becomes our reality, that the things we value, what’s important to us, is what expands and grows us,” Becker said. Becker discussed how his school intends to put that theory into practice. “As educators, we look at what we do and what’s working, and we try to amplify that, replicate that SEE SCHOOLS, Page 4
Frustrations mount over homeless dilemma Merchants and residents in the Midway/sports arena area say they are growing weary of the problems associated with a growing number of homeless people, many of whom push shopping carts to truck around their worldly belongings. With the exception of an occasional arrest, police often can do little, short of offering social service programs and forcing homeless to relocate to other areas. Photos by Dave Schwab I The Beacon

Vision for new OB Veterans’ Plaza to be unveiled Sept. 12 BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON The latest design of a plaza that will honor America’s veterans while underscoring the iconic vibe of the Ocean Beach community will be unveiled next week. Steve Grosch, who has chaired a yearlong effort to replace the worn-out, difficult-to-decipher sidewalk medallions at the current Veterans’ Plaza at the foot of Newport Avenue, said the design will be displayed in public for the first time at the monthly meeting of the Ocean Beach Community Development Corporation on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Ocean Beach Recreation Center, 4726 Santa
Monica Ave. The new plaza will be based on the “Life Journey” design first unveiled by the design firm KTU+A during a public workshop hosted by the OBCDC in April. The plan also calls for the plaza to be moved to the grassy area on Abbott Street, immediately south of the lifeguard tower. “Life Journey” emphasizes a beach feel and reflects the importance and significance of coastline, designers said. It’s a walkway that runs from Abbott Street to a gathering plaza next to the sand, and features four granite walls with the

he Midway/sports arena area is known for its major sporting/concert venue, shopping centers and warehouse district and — less desirably — for its high-profile homelessness problems. Not that the homeless issue is necessarily any worse here than elsewhere in San Diego, where the region’s year-round temperate climate draws those living unsheltered existences. Maybe it just seems worse because it’s so noticeable. “They’re everywhere,” said Walter Andersen, owner of Andersen Nursery at 3642 Enterprise St. near the intersection of Barnett Avenue and Pacific Highway. “It drives us crazy.

QUICKHITS Suspected Loma Portal rapist deemed competent A judge found a suspected Loma Portal rapist mentally competent on Aug. 23, moving forward criminal proceedings and setting up a preliminary hearing for Sept. 6. Michael Meretse Tesfa, 21, was examined in jail by a psychiatrist, who wrote a report for San Diego Superior Court Judge Howard Shore. The psychiatrist determined that Tesfa did understand the nature of the court proceedings against him. His attorney had previously asked that criminal proceedings be halted pending a psychiatric evaluation. Tesfa is accused of rape, kidnapping, robbery and false imprisonment in a March 18 incident at 9 p.m. behind a closed restaurant on Pacific Highway near Rosecrans Street. The victim told police she met Tesfa earlier that night and he asked her to go to a hotel with him, but she declined. Tesfa allegedly followed her and raped her. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody on $750,000 bail. — Neal Putnam

Faulconer throws hat into ring in city mayor’s race BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The day after three major potential candidates bowed out of the San Diego mayoral race, District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer announced he was in. “Putting San Diego first is the principle I believe in, and that principle that will guide my administration,” said Faulconer, who was joined by wife Katherine, son Jack and daughter Lauren at a Sept. 4 news conference at Harbor Island Drive Park to announce his candidacy. Faulconer said he is looking forward “to an honest conversation with my fellow San Diegans in the coming weeks about our city’s bright future and the path to get us there.” Faulconer said San Diegans, by work-
ing together “will heal once again, and we will rebuild and restore San Diego.” Noting the recently disgraced Filner administration “has halted or in many cases reversed our (San Diego’s) progress,” Filner said united San Diegans can begin “taking our city back.” “I’m ready to do my part to make sure San Diego’s next chapter is our best,” Faulconer said. “Today, I announce my candidacy for mayor. “Together, we will restore integrity to City Hall. Together, we will put an end to the dysfunction and get our city working again for the taxpayers of San Diego. Together, we will heal our city and create a community where every neighborhood is strong, and every San Diegan has the opportunity to reach their full potential.” “Returning trust to the mayor’s office is one of the great challenges facing our

Faulconer, a Republican, will be running against two other high-profile opponents: Nathan Fletcher, a Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat who served one term in the state Assembly; and former City Attorney Michael Aguirre. There are numerous lesser-known candidates in the Nov. 19 special election. If no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote on Nov. 19, there will be a runoff between the top two vote-getters, likely in January. On Sept. 3, former city councilman and ex-mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio, as well as interim Mayor Todd Gloria and longtime county Supervisor Ron Roberts each announced they would not enter the race for San Diego mayor to replace Filner, who resigned Aug. 30.

NEWS 4 City revamping plans to reinstate sports arena-area property leases THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 5, 2013
THE PENINSULA BEACON
BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON North Bay Community Planning Group (NBCPG) members said they were encouraged by news that progress is being made on renewing or extending leases on several city-owned properties east of the sports arena. The city owns not only the sports arena property, but also the properties on either side of it, including the commercial strip where Red Lobster and Phil’s BBQ are, the commercial area where SOMA nightclub and Kobey’s Swap Meet’s corporate offices are, down to Dixieline and Pier One Imports. The long-vacant, deteriorating Black Angus restaurant site is also east of the sports arena.

Becker said the 89-year-old high school continues to be on the progressive front. “We aren’t afraid to innovate,” Becker said. “We have a ‘Whatever it takes attitude’ toward students from teachers to administrators, right down to the lunch lady. We do whatever it takes for a
Community planners were told that the Valley View Casino Center’s (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena) lease is up in 2020 and that Phil’s BBQ’s lease runs out in 2018. It was pointed out that most other area leaseholders are month-to month, a situation that has caused consternation among merchants because of uncertainty over their future. NBCPG chairwoman Melanie Nickel said it’s paramount that the city begin renegotiating leases with surrounding leaseholders because “we don’t want derelict properties. We want coordination so all the leases come up at once, not this scattershot approach.” John Ly of District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer’s office, whose district
includes the sports arena area, said it’s been the policy of the city’s Real Estate Assets Department to put a “hold on these properties because they want to put together a master plan.” If the NBCPG wishes, Ly said Faulconer will work with city real estate assets to “see things (leases) get extended so we don’t have a ghost town.” Chuck Pretto of Kobey’s Swap Meet said he signed a new lease recently to move out of his existing company headquarters at 3350 Sports Arena Blvd., Suite K. “We’re moving over near Phil’s BBQ in the Sports Arena Villa, taking the old city regulations office suite,” Pretto said.

child to be successful.” What’s new this year is that the high school’s motion-picture industries facility is now completely finished. “We have a program designed for kids on how to study, create and analyze film,” Becker said. “There’s nothing like it to this scale on the West Coast.” Looking ahead, Becker said he’s excited to be a new principal “serving the students, supporting the staff and working with the community.” Another new principal this year,
Marco Drapeau, has taken the reins at the 104-year-old Ocean Beach Elementary School at 4741 Santa Monica Ave. He said he’s building on a strong arts and science foundation at the neighborhood school, which is closer to the ocean than any other San Diego Unified School District site. “We have a very strong arts program with visiting artists coming in to help kids learn about dance and visual and performing arts,” said Drapeau. “Our school also takes fourth-graders on a sea camp, where they learn a little about ocean biology. They actually get in the water.” The school’s artistic bent is also reflected in many colorful murals, tiles and other artwork. Drapeau said Ocean Beach Elementary has a reputation for strong community support of the school. “A lot of families that could live anywhere choose to live and be involved in
Arena Blvd., is in the process of remodeling its existing site with the expectation that its current lease — set to expire in a matter of months — will be renewed. In other matters, Tait Galloway from the former city Planning Department that has now been renamed the Neighborhood Restoration Department, also has a new director. Urban planner Bill Fulton, a former mayor in Ventura, will assume the new role. Galloway said he’s been working on North Bay’s community plan update. “We’ll have a working draft to share with the planning group at your next meeting [in September],” said Galloway. Nickel said the group’s entire meeting on Sept. 18 will be devoted to the com-

OB, so they go out of their way to support us,” said Drapeau. “Our PTA is very strong and very involved in working with us to provide the best they can for the students.” From an infrastructure standpoint, Drapeau said the school has a Promethean high-tech board, as well as a state-of-the-art computer lab. Drapeau said the school’s population is on the rise and it’s anticipated there will be close to 480 students this year in grades transitional K through fourth. Drapeau also credited his staff for going “above and beyond” in doing their jobs. He said many instructors at the campus have been there many years and that many of their own children go to the school — a clear sign, he said, that

It has an urbanized commercial core containing numerous shopping centers and institutional facilities. There are a few multifamily residential complexes located in the western portion of the community adjacent to Point Loma.

they “feel confident about the school.” The principal credited the school’s staff for finding ways to “service those students who have different types of emotional needs.” Scott Barnett, SDUSD board member for Subdistrict C that covers the beach areas, said there are still some negatives with the district’s financial picture heading into the new year. “The budget shortfall is close to $90 million and we’re going to have to sell about $60 million of real estate for one-time revenues just to balance the budget this year. The following year, it could be $50 million or more,” Barnett said. “It’s not inconceivable we’ll have to go with the [teacher] pink-slip scenario again in six months. But Barnett said there are some encouraging developments with the state economy turning around and the governor and legislature committing more money toward schools. Barnett said there are encouraging signs, too, that the district is fulfilling its educational mission. “I’m confident we’re going to have a much more accountable system in both the academic and business side of this district,” he said. “I’ve seen more change in the attitude and culture in just the 45 days since Ms. [Cindy] Marten has been superintendent than I have in years.” Barnett said the watchword this year for the Point Loma cluster, as with most others districtwide, is change. “In Point Loma, we have two new principals at Dana and Correia middle schools, and a new principal for Point Loma High School,” he said. “We have a $10 million sports complex the voters approved at Correia Middle School. There’s a lot of exciting things coming forward in infrastructure, technology and athletics, as well as deferred maintenance, which has been ignored for so long.” Barnett stressed the importance of harnessing technology and using it as an educational tool. “As many as 80 percent of the kids in this district have some kind of device: iPhones, laptops, iPads, etc., that they bring to school and we need to be flexible and integrate those devices with our school technology,” Barnett said. “We want to make it possible for every student to bring something home with them because learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends.” Coastal schools, including Point Loma’s, are part of the second-largest school district which serves more than 132,000 students in 223 educational facilities. The district includes 116 elementary schools, 24 middle schools, 26 high schools, 44 charter schools and 14 atypical/alternative schools. SDUSD is also one of the most diverse, representing more than 15 ethnic groups and more than 60 languages and dialects.

can get cheap meals.” Most noticeably, said Andersen, is the presence of panhandlers on virtually every street corner. “On Rosecrans Street, Midway Drive and Sports Arena Boulevard, there’s always someone standing — sometimes three or four — on all the different corners holding up signs and sleeping on the grass,” Andersen said. “Having all these people laying around and standing on the corners. It just looks bad.” Andersen admitted the situation is a difficult one to deal with. “It’s really hard,” he said. “The police can only do so much. They chase them away and the city trash trucks come in and clean up, and a month or six weeks later, [the homeless] start trickling in again.” But Andersen said he doesn’t understand why something more can’t be done about preventing homeless people from possessing and using shopping carts for storage. Nonetheless, Andersen said he is sensitive to the plight of some the nearby homeless, whom he said are “desperately drug- or alcohol-addicted and/or mentally ill.” “They can lock them up, but they just have to let them out,” Andersen said, lamenting that the Midway area “seems to be one of the easier places for them to survive.” Chris Daly, co-owner of S10 Fitness at 3810 Rosecrans St., said homelessness is problematic at his studio, which is right across the street from the county mental health facility. “The primary concern is with the walk-by traffic, all the transients coming along, and with being in an ‘unsa-
vory’ area right next to a liquor store and very close to the (San Diego) river where you get a high influx of homeless,” he said. Daly said he’s had lots of trouble with public urination and loitering by homeless, and he’s concerned about the possibility of drug dealing and drug abuse. “I want to be part of the solution. I don’t want to just be the complaint department,” Daly said. “I’ll be as proactive as possible, but it’s not against the law to not have a house. I understand the predicament these people are in, and I sympathize, but I have to protect my investment, and protect the people who come through my doors, and we have a lot of children here as I train Point Loma high school kids.” Since its founding in 1981 by Vietnam Veterans of San Diego, Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD) at 4141 Pacific Highway has been serving the region’s homeless veterans by providing alcohol/drug treatment and other rehabilitation services. In addition to its primary center, VVSD has also operated a homeless shelter. The status of the shelter, which previously was just seasonal, is now year-round — at least temporarily. Year-round operations of the shelter were among the priorities of Mayor Bob Filner, who resigned in disgrace Aug. 30 in the wake of sexual harassment allegations. “There was a desire to try to implement a year-round shelter,” said Andre Simpson, VVSD’s chief operating officer. “Where that is today is still uncertain. The city needs to sort some things out in terms of where these projects are going to go.” Simpson said VVSD is state licensed to serve up to 185 homeless veterans providing a full-range of rehabilitative
services. VVSD has also operated a seasonal homeless shelter from midDecember through early April which has continued beyond that schedule, but may be on borrowed time now with the current mayoral administration about to be replaced. “It’s an awkward situation,” Simpson said. “It’s very difficult, not just for the residents, but for planning in terms of their future.” Simpson said the temporary shelter is currently housing 150 people, the maximum allowed. What will happen to those people should the VVSD shelter revert from year-round back to seasonal? “If the city decides to shut the shelter down, they would give us some notice,” Simpson said. “In that event, we would do everything we can to place as many of those veterans in other shelters or other appropriate housing so they would not end up on the street.” At the North Bay Community Planning Group’s (NBCPG) regular monthly meetings, homelessness is a recurring theme and a staple of discussion. San Diego Police Department Lt. Natalie Stone and community relations officer David Surwilo were present at the NBCPG’s Aug. 21 meeting to talk about homelessness and to answer questions about what can and can’t be done about it. Stone, who heads a police neighborhood resource team composed of a sergeant and eight officers, agreed homelessness is a high-profile presence in the Midway-sports arena-Point Loma area. “We have a lot of issues with the homeless. It’s a huge area and it’s problematic here,” Stone said of the Midway/Pacific Highway Corridor Community, which is situated north of the Centre City area between Old Town and

Point Loma. It is comprised of the central Midway area and the narrow, linear-shaped Pacific Highway Corridor. Stone said the eight officers on her Neighborhood Resource Team “aren’t enough to combat the problem,” which she said includes cracking down on illegal encampments and people sleeping in cars. Stone told community planners that police need to have an open line of communication with community businesses and residents in order to be effective. “We have to live within the law and a lot of the time we rely on your complaints,” she said. “Call us and we’ll have the Neighborhood Resource Team, city code compliance officers or city neighborhood prosecuting officials to come out and clean up these areas, ask people to move along.” Surwilo said it’s “not illegal to be homeless and out on the streets.” But, he added, that doesn’t mean to say illegal lodging can’t be enforced. “If someone’s sleeping in the doorway of someone’s business or in the back of an industrial area, call us and those people will be going to jail, or to detox or somewhere,” he said. “Most of what we do is on a complaint basis. If you have a problem, call us so we know, and we can put it at the top of our list for the next day.”
Merchants who attended the Aug. 21 NBCPG meeting pointed out that the Midway and Point Loma areas are the “gateways” to the Old Town Transit Center and Lindbergh Field, and the first thing many visitors see. One merchant said the police practice of moving the homeless from one place to another just puts a “Band-Aid” on the problem. “We are a Band-Aid,” agreed Stone. “It’s like squeezing a tube of toothpaste, moving from this end to that end. We’re just moving people around, but we’re moving them out of your neighborhood.” A big part of the problem with the homeless, Stone said, is that, more often then not, they refuse referral services police have to offer them. “We can’t make people seek drug, alcohol or mental-health services,” Stone said. “We can’t help them unless they want to be helped.” Surwilo said homeless issues aren’t going away anytime soon. “The mayor (Filner) had talked about eradicating homelessness, but that train has left the track and I don’t think it’s coming back any time soon,” he said.

Pointers thumped by Olympian High in 2013 season opener BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Preparation would not be the word to describe Point Loma High School’s season-opening football game Aug. 31. On the field, the Pointers had trouble moving the ball consistently against South Bay’s Olympian High and came up on the short end of a 26-7 score, their first home loss since Bennie Edens Field was resurfaced before last season. Yet other issues figured into the longawaited rematch of last year’s 38-10 Olympian blowout on the Eagles’ field. As both teams removed their helmets and stood at attention for the playing of the National Anthem by the Pointer pep band, band members did not hoist their instruments as the awkward moments of silence multiplied.
With players and spectators looking at each other in confusion, the booming voice of Pointer head coach Mike Hastings broke the silence as he sang, “Oh, say can you see?” As if on cue, Pointer players and the stadium crowd joined in to sing an a cappella version of the anthem, giving themselves a hearty round of applause afterward. Later, in the game billed as a “Salute to Military/Police/Fire/Lifeguards,” there was nothing done to honor any of these heroes and first-responders. Two nearby San Diego Fire/Rescue Department engines, their crews and a battalion chief were present before halftime, but after standing by and being ignored during the break, they quietly climbed aboard their vehicles and left.
How to avoid these 6 costly mistakes before you buy SAN DIEGO, A new report has just been released which identifies the 6 most common and costly mistakes that homebuyers make before buying a home. Mortgage regulations have changed significantly over the last few years, making your options wider than ever. Subtle changes in the way you approach mortgage shopping, and even small differences in the way you structure your mortgage, can cost or save you literally thousands of dollars and years of expense. Whether you are about to buy your first home, or are planning to make a move to your next home, it is critical that you inform yourself
about the factors involved before you buy. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled, “6 Things You Must Know Before You Buy.” Having the right information beforehand can undoubtedly make a major difference in this critical negotiation. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your free copy of this report, call toll-free 1-800276-0763 and enter ID# 1004. You can call anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

On the field, the Pointers moved the ball in the first quarter, but the prevailing westerly winds prevented them from opening scoring. After a stalled drive, Jason Shoemaker’s 40-yard field goal attempt was hit high into the air, catching the wind. As the ball stalled and came down at the middle of the crossbar, it gently bounced back onto the field. “It was a rough start for us,” said Hastings. “We came out in the first drive moving the ball okay, but then weren’t able to get the consistency going we wanted.” From this point, the Eagles seemed energized, driving the field while exploiting the Pointer secondary with a 35-yard pass play before scoring on an 11-yard run to take a 6-0 lead. Pointer Cole Kidd blocked the extra-point kick attempt. Jake Virissimo ended an Eagle drive when he recovered the fumble of a completed pass by an Olympian receiver, but the offense was unable to score as the half ended. A third-quarter-opening drive by Olympian ended with an 11-yard pass, upping the lead to 12-0. It was sophomore running back Jaylen Griffin who put the Pointers on the board with a 38-yard run to the left side that, with Shoemaker’s kick, reduced the gap to 12-7 with just over six minutes remaining in the third quarter. But the Eagles answered following the kickoff, driving the length of the field. A 25-yard pass play took them to the oneyard line, where Rey Osuna waltzed into the end zone for a 19-7 lead with 2:22 left in the third period. A meaningless Eagles touchdown was added in the closing minutes when senior Pointer starting quarterback

Quinn Bohannon left the game with a minor injury. His replacement, junior Gavin Grady threw a seven-yard completion before an alert Olympian defender picked off his third throw and raced 55 yards for the final score. On the day, Bohannon was 5-of-11 for 98 yards. Leading the ground game for Point Loma were Griffin and Jacob Ehm with 47 yards apiece, followed by A.J. Smith with 30. Defensively, leading tacklers were
Smith (eight), Frankie Lopez (six), Adrian Bueno, Pedro DaSilva and Jake Virissimo (five each) and Jonathan Cook (four). DaSilva recorded two sacks and Cook caused an Eagle fumble. “Our kids are learning and they’re growing, Hastings said. “It was a tough opener for us, but we’ll look at the film, get better and improve. There’s a lot of things that we have to do right.” The Pointers travel to Ramona to face SEE OPENER, Page 8

Should You Hire A New Doctor? 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
“Assisting with care needs when you need a little help”
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-threaten-
ing 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.

Sara Petite, ‘Best Americana Artist’ award nominee, set to rock Humphreys BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON Lots of Americana-based artists call San Diego home these days, but only a handful have been able to take things to a national level. Such is the case with Sara Petite, one of the hottest rising stars over the last decade. Nominated for “Best Americana Artist” at this year’s San Diego Music Awards, Petite performs with her band, The Sugar Daddies, on Sept. 7, at Humphreys Backstage Lounge. Petite has released four albums since her official debut in 2006. Her most recent effort, “Circus Comes to Town,” was released locally earlier this year. But it is getting a bigger national push, beginning this month. Petite credits her grandmother for giving her the push to get her music career under way. Having taught herself guitar in college she wrote a batch of songs. “I wanted to make an album because my grandmother was getting older and she wanted me to collect all the songs I ‘d written onto one CD for her,” Petite said. Unfortunately, the week that she was to record the album, Petite’s grandmother passed away. “So, three months later, we recorded what became the first record, ‘Tiger Mountain.’ And it all started because of my grandmother.” While the venue has Petite and her crew listed as a “blues” act, in fact, that is only one component of her music. Petite and her band cover a lot of stylistic ground, “from old-time songs like the Carter Family to more rock ’n’ roll things like Bruce Springsteen, but in my style. And of course, I play my own songs,” she said. Indeed, Petite’s music is closer to the classic sounds of a Buck Owens hoedown than to modern-day country pop, a la Taylor Swift. Petite said she is keeping busier than ever. Upcoming events for Petite include several showcase events surrounding this year’s Americana Music Awards in Nashville, a tour of the East Coast, demos for the next record and 2014 has a tour of Europe penciled in for March. While she said she is thrilled by the inroads she has made so far, she’s hoping to take things to the next level. Currently working a part-time day job to help make ends meet while pursuing music, she’s looking at the possibilities in different facets of the music industry. “I want to have other performers cover my songs,” she said. “Really, that’s the ultimate honor when it comes to being a songwriter. Right now, I tend bar a couple of days a week, and that’s great. It gives me the opportunity to do what I have to do and the people there are nice

Unfortunately, the week that she was to record the album, Petite’s grandmother passed away. enough to give me time off when it’s needed. But either way, it would be nice to be able to make a living just with my music.” It’s clear she loves her chosen path, for many reasons. “It’s hard to single out just one thing,” she said. “I love the high you get when

Wonderland restaurant/tavern making a splash with its view, historic theme BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON A century after its first incarnation, Wonderland has returned to Ocean Beach. Once hailed as San Diego’s first amusement park with a roller coaster from 1913 to 1916, the reincarnated Wonderland is now an ocean pub where Qwigg’s and Nick’s At the Pier once were at 5083 Santa Monica Ave., Suite 2C. Mina Desiderio, who co-owns Wonderland and owns The Local downtown, said her goal in reinventing the restaurant space was to “pay homage to the history and lifestyle of OB.” The restaurant space has been remodeled in a unique hybrid style Desiderio characterized as “urban beach.”
“We transformed this space, really opened up all the windows so you can see from the pier all the way down to La Jolla,” she said adding, “The view is absolutely breathtaking.” The ocean pub’s seating is also atypical. “It’s community-style seating with shared tables and booths and a lot of bar space,” Desiderio said, noting full advantage is taken of the pub’s remarkable ocean views. Wonderland is half sports bar, half sit-down restaurant. “The Pier Pub is our sports bar with more than 40 televisions and a complete sports package,” Desiderio said. “On the other side is a full-service restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, SEE WONDERLAND, Page 17
The view from the inside of Wonderland in Ocean Beach offers an amazing panoramic glimpse of the ocean and north to La Jolla. Photos by Dave Schwab I The Beacon
The bar’s signature cocktail, a Greyhound made with fresh-pressed citrus juice (left), is among the many enticements, along with its salute to the original Wonderland amusemement park, San Diego’s first in 1913.

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT WONDERLAND CONTINUED FROM Page 14
brunch and dinner.” Wonderland serves up pub-style grub with a twist, including seafood, fish tacos, fresh mussels and oysters on the half-shell — and burgers too. Desiderio calls her cuisine “islander coastal.” “The food reflects what you’d eat in coastal Mexico, Hawaii and in San Diego, all three of those areas,” she said. “We don’t limit ourselves to a particular type of genre of food. We just want to serve good food we know we can make well.” Wonderland’s atmosphere is described by Desiderio as laid-back with a local flair. “It’s more casual to fit in with the OB lifestyle,” she said. “The people from our place can catch the best surfers.” Desiderio said Wonderland “complements the town because we’re featuring the history of Ocean Beach, including the name of our restaurant, as well as having lots of great photographs.” Desiderio said being an entrepreneur is in her DNA. Both her father and mother were in the restaurant and bar
trades. She became a bar owner at age 27 downtown with The Local 10 years ago. When Nick’s at the Pier became available, she and a business partner jumped at the opportunity to reinvent the restaurant space. Desiderio said Wonderland is familyoriented until 9 p.m. After that, on many nights, music offered up by DJs livens things up for the adult crowd, turning the establishment into more of a night spot. Desiderio talked about her bar’s signature cocktail, a Greyhound made with fresh-pressed citrus juice. “We squeeze all of our citrus in big metal juicers,” Desiderio said. The bar also has 25 beer taps, 80 percent of which feature local craft brews. Desiderio said she’s happy to “provide the best view for this town,” and hopes Wonderland draws new people to the community, giving them “one more reason now to come to Ocean Beach.” Wonderland is open Mondays through Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m., and Saturdays and Sundays Pictures of the orginal Wonderland amusefrom 8:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. For more information call (619) 255- ment park in Ocean Beach adorn the restaurant/tavern, including this shot of Wonder3358 or visit www.wonderlandob.com.i land’s orginal roller coaster.

PEOPLE
On vacation with The Peninsula Beacon It’s vacation time! Peninsula Beacon readers are heading out of town and taking their favorite hometown paper with them! Don’t pass up your chance to have your name and face published in The Beacon. Take us with you to whatever corner of the world you may be visiting and share your trip with other readers. Tell us your name and/or the names of your family members in the photo and give us a brief description of where the shot was taken. Email the photo and the information to beacon@sdnews.com. It’s that easy! Photos are published based on space constraints and in the order in which they are submitted.
Point Loma residents Keith Damsky (left), Dave Gilmore (right) and Sunset View Elementary School physical dducation teacher Corey Brucker hold the Beacon after hiking to the top of Mount Whitney in July. The mountain was hiked in one day, 22 miles to the 14,508-foot pinnacle, the highest peak in the contiguous 48 states. Behind them is the safety hut at the top.
Jane Howard (seated), a 30-year resident of Point Loma, returns to her roots at Plum Island, Mass. She is celebrating her 90th year with her Beacon and friends and family. Pam Lloyd, Deidre Bayne, Charlie Littrell, Daily Howard (daughter) and Penny Faucett are also pictured.
Jean Timmons, a resident of Point Loma since 1970, takes her favorite hometown newspaper to the Arctic Circle while visiting her stepson, Philip Timmons. Philip now lives in Oslo, Norway but graduated from Point Loma High in 1977. “There was 24-hour-a-day sun and the temperature at noon was about 45 degrees Fahrenheit,” said Jean. “You could see snow on the surrounding hills and mountains. We didn't see any live polar bears, fortunately.”
Carey Fox, David Hall and son Zachary Hall of Point Loma take their Beacon along for a trip to Paris. The family visited France and Spain before a cruise on the Mediterranean.
Katherine and John Taylor of Point Loma hold their Beacon outside of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. John and Katherine are returning from a cross-country trip to Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The San Diego Surf team took the Beacon to Cooperstown, N.Y., and will be inducted to the American Youth Hall of Fame. Players are Austin Correia, Wes Peterson, Will Brega, AJ Schrader, Kevin Mather, Hayden Buss, Jeffrey Barber, Camden Green, Ben Berry, Dane Warlaumont and Mikey Curtis. Coaches are Darren Correia, Kim Curtis, Sean Green and Jeff Barber.
Lifelong Obecians Jason (left) and Jesse Torres took their parents Mateo and Claire on vacation to Kings Canyon National Park. Here they are in front of the General Grant tree, which has the largest diameter of any tree in the world and is the third largest by volume.
