Ex-Apple Tree site may get new tenant BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON

While a beautiful new field and turfing has already been completed at Point Loma High School, community controversy continues to swirl around the next phases of the school’s master plan — particularly permanent stadium lighting for night games for varous sports. Photo by Scott Hopkins I The Beacon

Possible permanent PLHS stadium lighting has some all lit up BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON A war of words is ensuing between factions over whether to build permanent stadium lights at Point Loma High School (PLHS) for various teams to compete at night. Noting they both have the school — and the community’s — best interests at heart, the pro-lights

Progress for PLHS (PPLHS), and antilights Pro Point Loma (PPL) factions have been lobbying for and against athletic-field lighting via websites and Facebook pages, as well as with colorful signs on lawns. At issue is a proposal contained in a PLHS long-range site master plan revision now under way, to provide heretofore unlit PLHS with perma-

nent field lighting. New lighting would consist of four towers, each 90 feet high, allowing for maximum lighting of the field and minimal spillover into nearby properties, according to school officials. Improvements to PLHS in the master plan also include safety and ADA

The former Apple Tree Market may finally get a new tenant. CVS Pharmacy has set its sights on the long-vacant building at 4949 Santa Monica Ave., corporate officials have confirmed. “We are in the very early stages of planning a store at this location,” Michael DeAngelis, director of public relations, said in an email. CVS is a well-known commodity in the area, with 26 stores in San Diego, according to their website. The store nearest the proposed location is at 3950 West Point Loma Blvd. Apple Tree Market closed at the end of last year, ending a 25-year run, when owners of the business lost their lease. The site quickly attained eyesore status as the landscaping and parking lot weeds became overgrown, bringing homeless activity and litter. In May, the city declared the site a

public nuisance and slapped the Los Angeles-based owner, Elliot Megdal of Megdal and Associates, with an abatement order. In June, Megdal opened up the parking lot for self-pay customers, but the building has remained vacant all year. Steve Laub, president and owner of Land Solutions, Inc., a local project management consulting firm, confirmed he has been hired to oversee the permitting process for CVS. Laub declined to say whether the building would be remodeled or rebuilt from scratch, or provide any other details regarding the project. Laub was expected to appear before the Project Review Committee of the Ocean Beach Planning Board on Oct. 16 in support of a liquor license application, said Peter Ruscitti, who chairs the committee. However, no application is currently pending, according to an employee at the local office of the state Department of Alcohol Beverage Control.

OBMA marks 35th birthday, host of community achievements BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA), the beach community’s Business Improvement District (BID), turned 35 this year and will mark that milestone with a special tribute during its annual OBMA Awards Dinner celebration Oct. 24. BIDs are assessment districts in which business owners in a specific geographical area are assessed a fee to fund BID board-approved business-related activities and improvements within the district. Reflecting back on the evolution of Ocean Beach’s commercial strip along Newport Avenue, longtime business owners say OBMA has played a key role in raising the status of the business community. Gary Gilmore, owner of Gilmore Family Jewelers at 4857 Newport Ave. since 1978, credits OBMA with being a unifying force within OB’s business district, and also with helping transform the community’s character. “It’s brought a lot of people together,” said Gilmore, noting that, prior to the BID, “businesses were disjointed with everyone working with their own space and never really working together.”

The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association is now celebrating its 35th year. Merchants and community members alike praise the organization for its many achievements, including the long-running crown jewel of local events, the OB Street Fair & Chili Photo by Paul Hansen I The Beacon Cook-Off.

OBMA allowed merchants to band together for a common cause, said Gilmore. “As a result, the energy level has just risen incredibly,” he said, adding there’s a committee structure in place now to implement ideas. Gilmore said OBMA has fostered a more positive attitude within the business community allowing it to “take possession of the area.”

There’s been a sea change in how Obecians view themselves because of OBMA’s influence over the last 35 years, said Gilmore. “There’s less trash in the streets, people have more pride in the neighborhood and are doing things to beautify it, like decorating around palm trees and making things more green and more inviting,” he said. Above all else, the community sees itself differently now. “Before, there used to be this attitude of Ocean Beach being a den of iniquity,” Gilmore said. “That attitude has changed. Now it’s thought of as being a fine little beach community.” Other merchants agree with Gilmore that OBMA’s been a plus for the community over the last 35 years. “When I opened in 1984, I really didn’t have an outlet to voice my opinions and thoughts,” said OBMA member Paul Bolton of The Electric Chair and The Ocean Beach Playhouse & Arts Center. “Since they (OBMA) have been here (Denny Knox, Claudia Jack and Liz Green) have ALWAYS answered all my SEE OBMA, Page 4

THURSDAY · OCTOBER 17, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

With water rates poised to rise 10.6%, the push is on for low-flow shower heads BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON If you've been putting off installing that low-flow shower head, the city may be about to give you a bit more incentive. Water rates for the average singlefamily household are proposed to go up by about 10.6 percent over the next two years — and the city is serving notice to local ratepayers, beginning with its customers in Ocean Beach. To explain the need for higher rates, officials with the city’s Public Utilities Department have kicked off an information offensive with community groups, and started Oct. 2 at the monthly meeting of the Ocean Beach Planning Board. If 10.6 percent over two years sounds substantial, it turns out single-family households get off easier than other classes of ratepayers. Include those customers — multifamily, nonresidential and others — and rates go up by an average of 7.25 percent in January and 7.5 percent more in 2015. The City Council will consider the rate increase at a public hearing Nov. 21. If approved, a homeowner at the average rate of consumption — 1,200 cubic feet

of water per month, or 12 HCF — will see the monthly charge increase from $64.20 today to $66.09 next year and $70.99 in 2015. No increases are proposed for sewer. The proposed rates have less impact on customers who conserve. Unlike multifamily and nonresidential customers who pay a flat rate for each HCF, singlefamily residential customers pay progressively more as they consume more. Homeowners who limit their monthly consumption to 4 HCF will actually pay slightly less next year, because of the impacts of adding a fourth tier to the billing structure and changes in base fees determined by meter size. In the 92107 ZIP code, 23.8 percent of single-family households who use less than 4 HCF per month would fall into the new first billing tier. Another 53.2 percent use between 4 and 12 HCF and would fall into the second billing tier, according to figures provided by Brent Eidson, external affairs deputy director for the city’s Public Utilities Department. The rate increase request is driven by escalating prices from the San Diego County Water Authority (CWA), where

the city gets up to 90 percent of its water, said Lee Ann Jones-Santos, the department's deputy finance director. San Diego water customers haven't had a rate increase since 2011, even though CWA raised its rates in 2012 and again this year. The Public Utilities Department absorbed $35 million in increased costs by improved efficiencies, refinancing debt and purchasing less water thanks to better-than-average rainfall in 2011, Jones-Santos said. The rate increases are also necessary for the credit rating of the department, which is preparing for possible big-ticket projects over the next decade having to do with desalinization, indirect potable reuse, and the Point Loma water treatment plant, Jones-Santos said. Credit rating agencies prefer public-utility departments to maintain a ratio of revenues to expenditures, known as the debt coverage ratio, of 1.5. The proposed rate increases will raise the department’s debt coverage ratio to 1.25, Jones-Santos said. In other Ocean Beach Planning Board news • A Town Hall to discuss the Ocean Beach Community Plan Update, a docu-

ment intended to guide growth for the next 20 years, has been scheduled for Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Point Loma Masonic Lodge #620, 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. The long-awaited environmental impact report that accompanies the plan is complete and available in hard-copy form at the Ocean Beach Library, 4801 Santa Monica Ave., and at ocean-

The cause of death of a woman whose body was found floating near Sunset Cliffs on Oct. 2 has yet to be released by the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.

body art (henna and glitter tattoos). The focus of this event is to educate women about a relatively new breast cancer detection process called thermography. Thermography provides a safe, simple, and painless way to identify developing breast cancer. By carefully examining aspects of temperature and blood-vessel activity of the breasts in thermal images, signs of possible cancer or pre-cancerous cell growth may be detected within the first year of development. This provides the earliest detection of breast cancer possible; in fact, 8-10 years earlier than a mammogram. But it is is also the only actual preventative screening available today. Catherine Johnson of Silk Thermal Imaging in San Diego is a licensed thermography provider and will be available to answer questions and provide more detailed information at this event, which will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Private Gym, 4894 Voltaire St. For more information, call (619) 2236666.

A father who is charged with a hitand-run case that led to the death to his own son and further charged with child endangerment in a crash near Rosecrans Street was given a trial date of March 17. Angelo Arroyo Fabiani, 40, appeared Oct. 2 in San Diego Superior Court and received the trial date after he pleaded not guilty to both charges. Fabiani remains free on $500,000 bond. The accident occurred June 2 after his Nissan went down an embankment near Interstate 5 and Rosecrans Street and hit a palm tree. Witnesses said he frantically broke a window and was able to unhook his 4-year-old son from the child-safety seat, but the boy dropped about 8-10 feet to the ground. No one saw him flee, according to witnesses in the Sept. 17 preliminary hearing, but he wasn’t there when police and an ambulance showed up. Valentino Fabiani was declared brain dead in a hospital and died eight days later. A deputy medical examiner testified the boy’s injuries stemmed from both the accident and the fall. Fabiani was arrested days later. He is on probation for a misdemeanor drunken-driving conviction in 2011 and faces seven years in prison if he’s convicted. — Neal Putnam

e-mails/questions and have done it the same day.” Bolton applauded OBMA’s efforts in being “very active dealing with the homeless problem.” Bolton said the BID has been “an advocate for all the businesses of OB dealing with crime, etc.,” adding “My alley on the 4900 block of Newport Avenue has had less transients and crime largely because of their hard work battling with SDPD for increased patrols etc. The OBMA has been a blessing for my business and for all of OB.” Kurt Dornbusch, who’s owned The Black smoke shop boutique at 5017 Newport Ave. since 1981, said OBMA “does a lot throughout the year,” pointing out one of the most important things has been

working with the police to keep a handle on the large number of area transients. Marilyn Thomas, co-owner of Nati’s Mexican Restaurant at 1852 Bacon St., said OBMA “does a nice job promoting Ocean Beach with the different activities they put on and the things they’ve sponsored.” “I think it’s nice they bring merchants together with the different programs they offer, and just alerting merchants of the different happenings and activities that are going on throughout Ocean Beach,” Thomas said. A 501(c)6 private nonprofit, OBMA’s mission is to find a unique balance of economic development, within a neighborhood setting and through special events, to contribute to the health, welfare and pride of the coastal community. With 14 elected board members, the BID is committed to preserving a healthy active atmosphere for those who work, live and

visit Ocean Beach. OBMA’s current president, Barbara Iacometti, said there are about 324 businesses and 225 associated members in the BID today. It started out small, with just a handful of people that included Knox, her husband, Mike, and Mike James. Originally formed in 1978 as the Ocean Beach Merchant’s Association, OBMA has grown rapidly. “In the first year, it grew from five to 20 people,” Iacometti said. The group really took off in 1998 when OBMA received national and state designation into “Main Street,” a national program promoting business revitalization via a powerful network of linked communities offering support and a proven strategy for success.

Iacometti said OBMA has leveraged the Main Street Program to revitalize Ocean Beach’s business community. One of the ways it does that is by hosting special events and regular activities. “We have the farmers market every Wednesday on Newport Avenue,” she said. “Then there’s our signature event of the year, the OB Street Fair and Chili Cook-off the fourth Saturday in June, and the Oktoberfest in October.” “We’ve installed 17 community murals, 11 historical plaques and commissioned and maintain artwork on most of the utility boxes throughout the community,” said Iacometti. OBMA’s president said the group also hosts 10 merchant “sundowner” mixers a year, as well as sponsoring four business development seminars, plus

holding an annual marketing and promotions workshop. “We’re really good at special events,” Iacometti said, noting OBMA is thankful for its “relationship with community groups that we work together with and who volunteer countless hours for OB.” Iacometti said one goal stands out for OBMA in the future. “We want a better economic base for our businesses,” she said, adding there is one business the community no longer has that it direly needs. “We’d love to have to a grocery store,” Iacometti said, adding she’d like to issue one big thanks to the community in general for “shopping locally and using our businesses.”

This is a PTA fundraiser offering an

array of games, crafts, food and a cakewalk. “We’ll have arts and crafts, a spooky boutique where you can get your hair spiked and colored and your nails done and Halloween tattoos,” said Nelson. Outdoor carnival fun and games include a photo booth to take pictures of kids in costume. “Toward the end of the night, probably 7:45 p.m., we’ll have an all-grades costume contest,” she said. This will be the fourth year Loma Portal dad Will Hage has volunteered, along with 20 or 30 of his peers, to do the Monster Bash haunted house, which he said takes eight hours to set up and three to break down. But it’s all worth it, said Hage. So much so that volunteer school dads keep coming back for more. “It’s one of those things that gets progressively bigger and better each and every year,” Hage said. A few dads on the crew continue to help with the haunting event, even though their kids have graduated, because “they feel obligated and it’s such a fun time.” Hage said the haunted house this year for the first time will be in a huge tent outside on the school blacktop. “Kids first go through a maze,” Hage said. “Then, they come out and see a ouiji board with an animated pointer that moves back and forth by itself.” Hage said school dads bring all their expertise to bear to create things like a haunted portrait and an eerie graveyard. “One of the dads is a professional stagehand and we have all professional lighting and video, all first-class,” Hage said. He said one dad who is a band member turns into a dead Elvis, playing keyboards in the school haunted

NEWS & VIEWS GUEST VIEW

Anti-stadium lights campaign sending the wrong message By BRANDT TRUVER Like many of you, I have been seeing the blue-and-white signs around that read “Save Our Neighborhood.” Also like many of you, I have been wondering what does that even mean? On my way home from work the other morning on a Point Loma street, I saw a table with two people standing behind it. The table was surrounded by the signs and had a banner that said “info,” so I had to stop. I had heard that these signs were in reference to a long-debated issue of putting lights on the Point Loma High School football field. I was born and raised in Point Loma, went to Loma Portal Elementary, Correia Jr. High, and graduated from Point Loma High in 2006. It’s with this experience I feel I can weigh in on this issue. The two women behind the table were very polite as I asked them what exactly they were supporting. I found out the issues were, first priority, stop PLHS from installing the planned stadium lights. With the lights comes increased noise around the field, traffic and the possibility that outside organizations will rent the field (mainly the Rock Church for its football games). The lights bring in kids who want to drink and party and they also leave behind lots of trash. Cases of trespassing have been reported and the school has no money to pay for police presence during the games — only Elite Security Company, whose officers cannot enforce any rules outside the fences. I’ve also heard that

many residents of Point Loma feel that if the lights are only for the football team, why should they get all the money? Now I can let the reader know, I am 100 percent for the lights, and here’s why. While at PLHS, I played varsity soccer and tennis. The soccer team made it to CIF playoffs every year and the tennis team entered the tournament each year, as well. It’s my best guess that, at no soccer match did we have more than 50 people, and not more than 20 at any tennis match. It’s not very fun for an athlete to compete when there is no school support for all the hours of practice they put in. The theory that this is only for the football team is also false; with football games come so much more. At each football game there is the band, cheer squad and dance team. With the football team this easily amounts to well over 150 kids performing at each football game, and that’s a lot of parents who want to see their children. I am with the supporters in that the trash and trespassing is completely wrong and should not be tolerated by school officials. However, PLHS does not have lights currently and these problems are already taking place. I wish that on Friday I could have grabbed dinner with my buddies and watched our football team beat up on La Jolla High. Its true the Rock Church may rent the field for their games, and some residents are worried that the area around PLHS will look like Rosecrans Street on a Sunday. The church members are not

going to come watch the games, only the parents and other students. The women behind the table told me that the school would not pay for extra police patrols. So from what I gathered, as a community, we are pooling our money and resourses together to fight against the students. Instead, wouldn’t it be better to try to gain support to stop the problem that already exists of trash and partying? Save Our Neighborhood could try to fundraise to help hire more security or even a few SDPD officers during the home games. Furthermore, wouldn’t the increased revenue of more ticket sales or even renting the field only enhance other activities at PLHS? Perhaps instead of the other teams and clubs relying so heavily on booster clubs for their budgets, some money could be channeled to them. We, as a community, should not be looking for ways to take activities away from students that keep them at school. The stance we should be taking is to promote school spirit, community spirit and provide a safe place for them to spend a Friday night with their friends. The lights are a perfect way to do this if support from the community, school officials and — as much as I wish it wasn’t necessary — law enforcement, is there. I’m all for Save Our Neighborhood, but let’s change the focus. Lets bring back the sense of community we all love about Point Loma.

GUEST VIEW Mayor’s Office is taking enforcement of dispensaries, food trucks seriously Todd Gloria, interim mayor of San Diego I’m happy to report the work in the Mayor’s Office is charging full-steam ahead. My staff and all city employees are dedicated to doing the peoples’ work. They are knowledgeable professionals in their respective fields and are committed to being responsive and helpful to you. I invite you to visit our new mayor’s web page to communicate with me and keep abreast of what we’re working on. Just how much can I accomplish in 81 days between when I took on this role and the Nov. 19 election? Visit the web site to find out at www.sandiego.gov. Additionally, I send out e-newsletter updates about two times per month. You may sign up on the website or send an email to toddgloria@sandiego.gov and you’ll be placed on the list. In the name of progress, there is much to report on. The previous administration was criticized for its lackadaisical approach to enforcing our laws and codes consistently, which led to unfair treatment benefiting San Diegans who happened to have access to my predecessor. As your representative, I see it as my job to modify laws that don’t make sense. Unless and until laws can be modified, they must be enforced. This is the current challenge I face as I work with my City Council colleagues, the city attorney and city staff to develop sensible code updates to allow medical marijuana dispensaries and food trucks to operate legally in ways that balance the needs of their clients and the surrounding neighborhoods. I appreciate the input provided from passionate San Diegans on both topics, and the measures we’re developing will be publicly vetted prior to their consideration by the City Council. It’s essential your voices are heard. My decisions are always informed by your input. Just like your participation guides our

actions at City Hall, San Diego’s interests must be well-represented in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. I am proud that we recently rehired lobbying firms to resume the representation of San Diego TODD GLORIA before lawmakers and influencers in our state and national capitols. For the last nine months, San Diego has had no one at the table vying for our interests or funding, which is troubling given the looming sequestration and its potential effect on local families and businesses whose way of life is directly connected to our military economy and other federal spending. Late last month, the city initiated a process for new lobbying contracts to ensure that, moving forward, San Diego receives the representation it deserves. I headed to Washington, D.C. with mem-

bers from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce the first week of October and met with key stakeholders to advocate for San Diego on Capitol Hill. So what have I learned during these last few weeks as interim mayor? I’ve learned I really love this job. I love the people side of it, the consensus-building side of it, the making progress side of it. Make no mistake, it’s a demanding job and I do my best to balance my roles as interim mayor, City Council president and councilmember. But at the end of each day, it’s the people that make it great — diverse stakeholders coming to the table with different ideas on how we can collectively make San Diego a better place to live. This is a great gig. There is much work to be done between now and when a new mayor takes office. I appreciate your continued patience and participation in these upcoming months. As always, thank you for the opportunity to serve.

How to save thousands when selling your home. LA JOLLA, When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pric-

ing too low. A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell at the price you want. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report, call toll-free 1-800276-0763 and enter 1017. You can call any time. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Fundraising golf tournament to help defray medical costs for shooting victim, a PLHS alum BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON While he can’t yet grip a golf club, shooting victim Will Barton said he is eagerly awaiting an upcoming tournament that will help defray the enormous costs of the physical therapy his family is paying as he continues to make remarkable daily strides almost one year after a near-fatal attack. Barton, now 21, is a 2010 graduate of Point Loma High School who was singled out, for no clear reason, by a former CalFire firefighter whose San Diego crime spree was aimed at killing any former police officers who had arrested him. Barton was not in law enforcement and was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. As he walked down a Balboa Park area street in the early morning Oct. 29, Barton was shot three times from behind and left for dead in the street. A team of Mercy Hospital trauma doctors, led by neurologist Dr. Vikram Udani, decided to work on Barton despite the bleak initial assessment that Barton could not be saved. One bullet that went through Barton’s right shoulder severed main arteries, nearly causing him to bleed out. This bullet caused the problems he is currently experiencing with his body’s right side. Another bullet remains lodged in his brain and bullet fragments are scattered throughout his upper body. Since that horrific night, Barton’s fighting spirit and positive attitude have stunned medical doctors and physical therapists as he continues to prove their grim predictions wrong. Asked to rate his progress to date on a full-recovery scale of 1-10, Barton gave himself a 4.5.

Based on Barton’s miraculous progress, he has, with mother Marie, stepfather RT Lonsdale and friends started the “Strong Will Foundation,” which will host its first annual golf tournament Friday, Nov. 4 at The Crossings in Carlsbad. The entry fee is $175 per golfer, which includes play and an after-party in the clubhouse featuring a live auction and raffle items, including vacation packages, sports memorabilia, artwork and more. Party-only tickets are available for $40. A helicopter ball drop and putting contest are among many other prize opportunities during the professionally organized event. Barton, sitting on a couch at his family’s Bankers Hill-area home recently, with a renewed sparkle in his eyes, reeled off his proudest accomplishments since The Peninsula Beacon’s last update five months ago. “I’ve changed exponentially,” said Barton. The areas of improvement, according to Barton: • Balance: “Much better. I can get up and stand unassisted for several minutes.” • Level of assistance: “People helping me only have to bear about 10-20 percent of my weight now compared to 50 percent before.” • Standing and walking: “I’m walking on my own and just need a little guidance on where I’m going and where I am in space.” • Right arm: “I’ve started moving the wrist and fingers of my right arm. They said the arm was going to turn black and be like a dead limb. This gives me great hope that I’ll get full return in that

arm, which would be amazing.” By contrast, five months ago, Barton could not get up, stand on his own or walk. Looking ahead, Barton said therapists will be working on strengthening his hamstring muscles, which are among those that have atrophied during his ordeal. Barton noted his condition is known as hemiparesis, a weakness of muscles on one side of the body that typically follows a stroke or serious head injury — both of which he endured. “I’ll continue to strengthen those muscles, walk around the house, and then become a community walker on the sidewalks,” he said. “My infinite goal is to get back to the things I used to do [like] swimming, surfing, riding my bike

and skateboarding, just so I could cruise around San Diego and say ‘Hi’ to all the people who helped me through my recovery and show them how well I’m doing.” Barton’s rehabilitation schedule is time-consuming. He has daily sessions at Sharp Hospital in Kearny Mesa and visits a new, high-tech facility in the Miramar area called VIP Neuro Rehab that uses machinery made in Switzerland and Germany to treat persons with movement issues. He is also being treated in a third program using a strategy called Feldenkrais Method for Somatic Education. This involves helping the brain increase movement patterns of the body through repeated stimulation.

Barton will attend the golf tournament and is hoping for a big response from the community. For tournament signups, visit www.birdeasepro.com/StrongWill. For more information, call Jeff Harrison at (619) 846-9995. EVENT NOTES • Tournament organizers say entrants will receive gifts and merchandise worth $350 for their $175 entry fee. • On-site registration begins at 9 a.m. with golfers teeing off at 11:30 a.m. Evening events begin with a cocktail hour at 5 p.m. • Sponsorships, starting at $250, are available for everything from golf cart signage to tournament naming rights.

NEWS Nonprofit foundation created to help patients with similar needs BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON It was a phone call Oct. 29 that turned their lives upside down. When Marie Najera Lonsdale and RT Lonsdale learned their energetic, easygoing son had been shot multiple times and left for dead on a San Diego street, it was the end of life as they’d known it. “Doctors thought I would be catatonic,” Barton recalls, “hooked up to a respirator and being fed just enough liquids to sustain life.” Barton describes his recovery outlook as “a huge light at the end of the tunnel.” As the one-year anniversary of the shooting approaches, Barton called it a “bittersweet kind of thing, an anniversary of me pretty much dying. I’m extremely happy and thankful that I’m still alive and able to sit here on the couch and talk to you. Terrible things like this happen every day, but miracles happen every day, as well.” Najera Lonsdale described her insurance plan as a “60/40” program, leaving her responsible for huge portions of the massive medical bills. First, there were several weeks in the intensive-care unit at Scripps Mercy Hospital, followed by more weeks in a regular hospital room. Next came the first of

several rehabilitation facilities as Barton’s medical condition improved. Finally, insurance companies delivered the dreaded message: they would not pay for any further stays in facilities. The couple had to bring their son home. Some quick remodeling of their Bankers Hill home gave Barton access to a bedroom and bathroom. A strong metal ramp was added to the steep stairs leading from a walkway to the front door. And, despite all their difficulties, they found time to think of others. Thus, was born the nonprofit organization The Strong Will Foundation. While it takes a year to receive taxexempt status under the Internal Revenue Code, Lonsdale said, “all of the paperwork has been filed.” “Even when I’m fully independent, I’d like to better myself by helping other people,” said Barton, now 21. ”Having a traumatic brain injury or paralysis is lonely because you are the only person who can help yourself get better. You have people helping, but you are the only person motivating yourself.” The Strong Will Foundation is designed help persons in such situations by providing a support group and family around those trying to rehabilitate their bodies.

“As I need less and less help, we hope to make a smooth transition to continue fundraising for others who could use our help as they go through rehab.” WILL BARTON Shooting victim, inspiration for the Strong Will Foundation

A 90-minute treatment at one of Barton’s several providers is $140 and he visits that facility twice per week. Lonsdale estimated Barton’s current costs at $1,800 a week when caregivers’ costs are included. With the current golf tournament as its first fundraiser, Barton himself will be the initial benefactor of the foundation. “As I need less and less help, we hope to make a smooth transition to continue fundraising for others who could use our help as they go through rehab,” Barton said. That first person will be an 8-yearold local girl who is currently in rehabilitation. The foundation plans to pay for one month of her treatment at VIP Neuro Rehab with the golf tourney proceeds.

LIGHTS

NEWS

“This proposal has been discussed many times and ways to mitigate the affects on the stadium (from lighting) have been considered and, ultimately, every time it is rejected as not being feasible,” said Jennifer Dariani, PPL spokes-woman. “Nighttime lighting at the stadium is not appropriate. The only change this time is that the school site, one of the smallest in the district with one of the largest student bodies, is even more overdeveloped.” “Our main concerns are the lack of parking for people attending the event, the congestion of people trying to get to and from stadium events, and public safety issues with people wandering the streets at night trying to find their cars, light pollution and glare, and the noise nuisance,” Dariani continued. Dariani said PPL is being misrepresented by stadium lighting proponents. “This (lighting) is being presented to students as something fun and that the neighborhood just doesn’t want them to have fun,” said Dariani, claiming adding stadium lighting amounts to a “surcharge to the neighborhood that it just can’t accommodate.” “We always want to keep an open mind,” said Dariani of PPL. “But this is an issue that’s been looked at a lot times and people haven’t been able to come up with a solution. Our main goal is to educate people in the neigh-

borhood who are not informed on the (lighting) project. We want to empower them to voice their needs and their concerns.” In its “factual flier,” PPLHS said athletic Point Loma High athletic facility upgrades, including lighting, are “part of a process of modernization and establishing equity of access for all students.” The PPLHS flier points out that Point Loma High School is one of only three of 15 high schools in the San Diego Unified High School District (SDUSD) without field lighting. “Lighting would increase the opportunity of usage of PLHS athletics, band, ROTC and other student activities,” argues the PPLHS flier. “Presently, outside parks and alternative school sites must be used to accommodate the students. Traveling off-site has been identified as a concern by students and families because of safety and time away from studies.” “The San Diego Unified School District is on a fast track to turn the high school stadium into a rentable sports venue,” claims anti-stadium lighting Pro Point Loma in its promotional materials. “We do not support the school district’s commercialization of the Point Loma High School Stadium that takes away from the high school’s education

mission and instead focuses on opportunities to turn our high school into a revenue generator for the entire school district at the expense of our neighborhood and quality of life.” School board member Scott Barnett feels it’s possible for both sides to meet in the middle on the stadium-lighting issue, adding he feels there’s mitigation that could satisfy neighbors' concerns. “My view is we can do things right now, that should have been done for decades, to reduce the impact of any lights,” Barnett said, adding high school nighttime events would be limited to 19 a year. “SDSU closes nearby streets during football games and only residents go in and out. We could try that. We should have satellite parking and people shuttled in from another school. We could move the ticket gate over to Chatsworth Boulevard or build more student parking on-site. Most importantly, we will set up some restrictions of use so that inappropriate uses would not be allowed.” Barnett said providing nighttime lighting is exactly that and nothing more. “This is not a plan or an intent to commercialize,” he said. “This facility is for student athletes first, kids and recreational sports and then for other appropriate sports uses.” Christy Scadden, a Point Loma High

parent affiliated with PPLHS who lives near the school and has children going there, said stadium lighting “is not a new need,” pointing out the issue “is more relevant now” than it’s ever been adding PLHS has more sports teams than any other San Diego Unified School. Scadden also feels there’s room for compromise. “I don’t know that the lines (pro and con) are as distinct as it’s been assumed,” she said. “I think we can compromise and come to a solution that is great for our community and ensure that we have a great quality school, which is what every neighborhood wants.” PLHS is the most severely impacted school in San Diego, with only 16.7 acres of land to serve 2,000 students, which equates to 120 students per acre. (A 2010 Peninsula Beacon article showed a campus for 2,000 high school students built today would require 51 acres).

upgrades to classrooms and other facilities, athletic stadium upgrades consisting of bleacher renovation, installation of a press box and a new sound system besides new stadium lighting. The stadium-light proposal is being hailed by PPLHS as a sensible solution to a needed development at the high school. “Facts … Not Fear,” is the motto adopted by PPLHS. “PPLHS supports lighting and exploring solutions and ideas that will meet the needs of our neighborhood high school while addressing legitimate, fact-based concerns of our community,” according to a PPLHS position paper referred to as a “factual flier.” “We are respectful of all concerns with emphasis on the importance of staying student-centered, non-emotional, positive, inclusive and solutionoriented,” states the factual flier. On the other side, Pro Point Loma has adopted a “shouldn’t do” position regarding new stadium lighting, warning such lighting would invite unwanted commercialization of Point Loma High School, while negatively impacting surrounding neighborhoods.

Pointers streak to victory over Kearny Komets in 42-21 rout BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Point Loma High’s offense scored on its first possession of the game Oct. 11 en route to a 42-21 thrashing of Kearny, whose once-powerful football program is struggling. The win puts the Pointers (4-3 overall) at 1-0 in Western League play. The Komets drop to 1-5 overall and 0-1 in league. Once an elite prep team in San Diego County, the Komets forfeited two of their scheduled three games against the Pointers last week, apparently for lack of players. While the Pointers were able to arrange a visit to Coronado to play the freshman game, the Komets committed a huge violation of ethics by simply not showing up at Pete Ross Stadium for the Oct. 10 3 p.m. junior varsity kickoff. A crew of game referees, athletic trainers, administrative staff, an ambulance, open snack bar and a crowd of students and parents awaited the Komet team, leaving the Pointers on the hook for an estimated $500, plus concession revenue in costs. The PLHS athletic department has contacted district officials seeking recovery of these funds from the Komets. In the varsity game, played at Madison High while Kearny’s field undergoes much-needed improvements, the teams put up identical 21-7 halves in reaching the final score. It was Dirk Lacy’s 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that ignited the Pointers and dimmed any hopes the Komets had for an upset win. “The kickoff return by Lacy was huge,” said Pointer head coach Mike

Hastings. “You know anytime you get a special teams spark like that the whole team feeds off it.” Lacy’s return came after the Komets had scored to close the gap to 14-7 with 3:42 left in the first half. The Pointers opened the game by taking the kickoff and executing a lengthy drive of nearly eight minutes (of the 12-minute quarter) that ended with Lacy’s short jaunt into the end zone for a 7-0 lead. The Komets gifted the Pointers their second score when, after the Dogs’ defense held the Komets on their first possession, the long snap on a punt attempt skidded on the ground. The punter picked up the ball, but his run was ended at his own 16-yard-line. From here, Jalen Griffin made quick work of the miscue, sweeping to his left, narrowly staying inbounds as he crossed the goal line on the first play to double the Pointer lead to 14-0, both scores coming within 1:30. The Komets opened the second half with a drive of their own that featured a 40-yard run and 25-yard pass play that brought them within 21-14, but was to be their final score. This time, it was a shanked punt that went out of bounds at the Kearny 25yard line, giving the Pointers another very short field. From here, the Dogs covered the distance, the touchdown coming on a lofted pass from Gavin Grady to Jake Wambaugh in the left corner of the end zone from five yards out with 2:13 left in the third quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, deliberately kicked short, the ball was recovered by the Pointers and taken in, again on a short field, for their fifth score.

This drive ended on the first play of the fourth quarter when Lacy scored for the third time on a short run to build the lead to 35-14 with 11:56 remaining in the contest. The Pointers scored again on their next drive when, on a fourth-down play from the nine-yard line, Grady tossed a screen pass to Lacy in the left flat and the senior dodged several attempted tackles to score his fourth touchdown of the game that provided the final margin. With 8:45 still to play, Pointer reserves were given an opportunity to build playing time and perhaps some stories to tell their grandkids. “We worked some things out offensively in the second half and found some things we could improve on and did. I was proud of our kids,” Hastings said. Next up tomorrow night on Oct. 18 is the annual rivalry game for “The Shoe,” a once-proud trophy made using an actual football shoe left on the field after one of the earlier games in the series. The actual trophy now reportedly resides with the widow of a La Jolla football coach who passed away. An “imitation” trophy has been held by the Pointers for a number of years. The Vikings are 3-3 with wins over Valley Center, Santa Fe Christian and Coronado. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m..

At halftime, the Dogs were down 3-0 on a Falcon field goal, but even with adjustments, Birds’ running back Skyler Ray scored on runs of 16 and 32 yards to put his team up 17-3. A fourth quarter run of 37 yards by Griffin gave the Pointers their only touchdown. Lacy recorded 113 yards on 17 carries while the defense was led by Dan O’Beirne (nine tackles) and Cole Kidd Scripps Ranch deals (eight).

a life in tennis. “My heart and soul I always loved music, but I was 25 and had never been involved in anything like that,” he said. “So I decided to teach tennis in Los Angeles by day and study vocals and piano composition for five or six hours into the night. I did that for 12 years.” Now an established musician with decades of experience behind him, Sage joined up with the Bay City Rollers

featuring Ian Mitchell in 2008, via a nationwide search for a front man. “They saw an online video and called me in for an audition,” he said. “It just clicked that day. We went out and talked and they asked me to join.” The band is on a short hiatus, but work has begun on an album with originals. “We’ve only played nationwide so far, but hopefully with a new album we can

It’s no secret that Southern California is a haven for musicians, but in recent years, Ocean Beach has become a particularly popular residence for musicians. From Costello tribute band The Distractions to hitmakers Slightly Stoo-pid, there a lot of prominent artists living in the area. Such is the case with Eric Sage. In addition to solo work, he fronts several bands, including Bon Jovi tribute 1970s and 1980s cover band Lixx and two corporate bands, Heat and Dirty Birds. He is also frontman for the Bay City Rollers featuring Ian Mitchell, but even being occupied with so many musical projects, tennis is his first love. He came to music late in life, through misfortune, but tennis has always been a driving force. So much so that he has recently published a new book, “The Magic Key To Tennis — 1 Thru 10 System” and started a reality website series called “Tennis Like a Rock Star” Sage first arrived in San Diego from Canada in 1985 to train as a tennis professional. Within a few years, that dream was cut short. “I was a player on the pro tour and was a passenger in a car accident. Basically, my career ended. I was 24 and I had a world ranking. And I thought, ‘What the Eric Sage, who was once world-ranked in tennis, now focuses his time on playing with the heck am I going to do with my life?” Bay City Rollers and other bands, and runs a reality website series called “Tennis Like a A life in music became his alternative to Rock Star.” Couresy photo

Largest exhibition of life, art of Frida Kahlo premieres at Liberty Station The rich and colorful life of Frida Kahlo is revealed in “The Complete Frida Kahlo: Her Paintings. Her Life. Her Story. The Exhibition,” which is making its U.S. premiere in San Diego from Oct. 19 through Jan. 10 at Liberty Station. This is the only exhibition worldwide where all of her paintings can be seen in one place. Some paintings, especially from Kahlo’s early years, have never before been seen. Presented by Global Entertainment Properties 1, LLC, (GEP1) the exhibition features 123 replicas of her known paintings in original size and original materials, and handpainted in the same style as Kahlo painted them. These replicas, owned by GEP1, are painted by master artists and licensed by ©Banco de Mexico Diego Rivera & Frida Kahlo Museums Trust/VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2008. The exhibition is co-curated by Dr. Mariella Remund and Hans-Jürgen Gehrke, passionate art lovers and collectors, and founders of the Kunstmuseum Gehrke-Remund in Baden-Baden, Germany, the city where Kahlo’s father spent his youth before emigrating to Mexico. Their vision for this exhibition was to not only touch the eyes and minds of the visitors, but above all, their hearts. “Working with the talented and knowledgeable team from the Kunstmuseum Gehrke-Remund will allow us to bring an exhibition that represents the largest and most complete Frida Kahlo collection ever assembled to audiences for the first time,” said Martin Biallas, CEO of GEP1. “Now, visitors will be able to see every aspect of her life through this extensive collection of paintings, artifacts and photographs.” According to Gehrke, “The exhibition is about more than just her paintings; it’s about gaining an understanding and appreciation of her life, her contributions to the world of art, her ideas on

love and relationships, as well as her views on politics.” Also on display are over 500 fascinating possessions — jewelry, dresses and adornments identical to those Kahlo surrounded herself with, coming from the collection of the Kunstmuseum GehrkeRemund in Germany. All are handmade using traditional methods, materials and tools. There is also a substantial collection of photos of Kahlo, her family and friends in her work and life environments and a large collection of pre-Colombian through present-day Mexican folk art, which held a position of great importance in her and husband Diego Rivera’s lives. Among the photos, the most admired is the stunning portrait of Kahlo taken by Nickolas Muray in 1939. This photograph, “Frida in Blue Dress,” is a limited edition of a portrait of Kahlo taken by Muray during their 10-year romantic

relationship. Born in Coyoacan, Mexico City, in 1907, Kahlo became revered as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Through her art she championed the Mexican culture and became an icon in art, fashion, women’s issues and politicals. Her striking images, tumultuous relationships, passionate and tragic life story continue to captivate a constantly growing worldwide following. The exhibition is on display in historic Barracks 3 at the NTC Arts & Culture District in Liberty Station, 2765 Truxtun Road, 92106. Audio guides are available in English and Spanish. Tickets go on sale Oct. 3 and are available online and at the door; they range from $12.50 to $16.50. The exhibition is open from Tuesday through Sunday.

go farther,” he said. Sage said he is thrilled with the heavy work load. “I just love music so I wanted to make it my full-time passion. It’s not really a job for me, but somehow, I get paid for playing all over the country,” he said. While music is his main occupation, tennis remains important to him. His new book shows his efforts to combine elements of both. “While I was studying music, I was also teaching select students and celebrities like George Clooney and Alec Baldwin. I was trying to figure out ways to help my students and I had a breakthrough about a connection between my two passions,” he said. Taking the music and tennis combi-

nation one step further is Sage’s webseries, “Tennis Like A Rockstar,” with the first two episodes available online. “We’re hoping to shop it around after we get a few more episodes in the can,” he said. Of all the different aspects of the projects Sage is currently involved in, he cites performing as his favorite. “I enjoy all types of music, but what I love most is entertaining,” he said. “It all started when I would go to concerts as a kid and I would watch certain performers on stage and just be blown away. And I would think to myself, I want to be doing this, not watching it.” For more information, visit www.themagickeytotennis.com.

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 innovativehc.com or call us at (877) 731-1442.

All lunch menu items are $6.95 and we offer nightly dinner specials and an a la carte menu plus Sunday Champagne Brunch.

Pure Thai is a new Thai restaurant in Point Loma that was founded on the dream of Apisith Dischan, who grew up in a family that is accustomed to Thai food. His Father was a manager of Food and Beverage for over 30 years at the 5 star Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok. His mother also owned a Thai restaurant in Bangkok. He started cooking as an apprentice cook helper for his mom. This experience taught him a wide range of cooking techniques. He learned how to keep up with a busy kitchen and soon cooking became almost second nature. When he got older, he joined the Dusit Thani hotel in the food and beverages department and refined his skills for more than five years before he left to pursue his dream in America. He has spent time studying the eating habits of Americans for many years. And when the time was right, he founded Pure Thai in Point Loma. One of Apisith’s main goals is to share with Americans the taste of authentic Thai food. His keys to making Thai food are to avoid MSG, use fresh ingredients and organic vegetables when available, keep everything clean and healthy, offer reasonable prices and be sure his food is always tasty. He sincerely hopes that everyone will love eating his food as much as he loves preparing it and will develop a love for Thai food as a result. Chef ’s Suggestion: Lettuce Wrap, HOR – MOK, Golden Basket, Crab Fried rice and Spicy B.F.F.

Dolly Belt, 87, loving mother, grandmother and community member Dolly Belt passed away peacefully and gracefully in her home on Sept. 26. She was 87. Born on Oct. 3, 1925 in Lubbock, Texas, Belt moved to San Diego when she was six months old. Her family settled in Ocean Beach, where she lived most of her life. She graduated from Point Loma High School and San Diego State University, married Jude Belt and had two children. While raising her family she became active in the Ocean Beach Elementary PTA, later becoming president. She also became a member of the Eastern Star organization, joining her husband, who was a Mason in the local Masonic Lodge. After raising her family she worked for the San Diego County as a training facilitator, assisting the unemployed in finding employment. After retiring, she purchased a recreational vehicle and traveled throughout the U.S. Upon returning, she pursued her passion for gardening and got her master gardner’s certificate. Dolly’s garden was locally renowned and flourished from spring through fall. She had a perfusion of brilliant flowers and generous-

ly shared bouquets with friends and family. She loved Ocean Beach, swimming by the pier and was active in the Ocean Beach Historical Society.
