Kindling the love of reading OB library officials view new downtown facility as boon and inspiration

Local planners field concerns over Navy’s fuel-pipeline project BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) heard from a community watchdog Oct. 17 about an upcoming Navy pipeline replacement that could cause substantial traffic disruption, and voted to add several bicycle/pedestrian projects to its “wish list” of capital improvement projects (CIP) being submitted to the city. The PCPB makes land-use recommendations to the city for the Point Loma/Ocean Beach area. Longtime Point Loma resident Jim Gilhooly told planners plans

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON With its gleaming silver dome etched across the downtown’s cityscape, the new, nine-story central library was officially dedicated in September with praise, song and cheers from a throng of well-wishers. “Luminous, inspiring, iconic, the San Diego Central Library is a beacon of knowledge,” proclaimed city librarian Deborah Barrow of the new centerpiece of the municipal library system with its 35 neighborhood branches. The opening of the new downtown central library will be a boon for community libraries like the Ocean Beach branch at 4801 Santa Monica Ave., one of the city’s smallest libraries. “We did have a boost in our circulation while the downtown library was closed,” said Ocean Beach Library branch manager Matt Beatty, who noted the new downtown library “is going to improve things” for San Diegans, making previously inaccessible books in the old library basement accessible. Beatty said the way libraries are being utilized has changed as “people do most of their work these days online and pick up books wherever it’s most convenient.” He said the new downtown facility is symbolic of the enduring value of education and how that’s prized in San Diego. “It’s more like a flagship than anything else, like a main store,” said Beatty. He said the facility is state-of-the-art and that its rooms are “acoustically much better than in the branches.” Beatty praised the new library for having age-specific areas for children and teens, which could serve as a prototype for future development in libraries elsewhere. “There are so many separate conference and meeting areas, it’s a good place to have citywide functions,” Beatty said. Beatty said the Ocean Beach branch serves lots of young families and has special programs like baby storytime on Fridays and baby yoga on Tuesdays. The Ocean Beach branch is open Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 12:30 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

by the Navy to replace a 57-yearold, eight-inch-diameter pipeline from Naval Base Point Loma — likely along Rosecrans Street — 17 miles to Miramar Marine Corps Air Station is something to be concerned about. “They’ve been replacing that pipeline piecemeal, taking out sections from Point Loma Naval Base along Kelloggs Beach, and the new line is going to run from the base all along Rosecrans and down Scott Street,” Gilhooly said. He added there are several other infrastructure projects planned in SEE PIPELINE, Page 8

This stadium-lighting system is reportedly similar to the one that would be installed at Point Loma High if the master-plan project gets the green light. If it moves forward, the lighting would apparently have the same type shields as Photo by Scott Hopkins I The Beacon above to prevent light from shining upward.

The new downtown library replaces the former facility at 820 E. St. which was built 57 years ago to serve about 15,000 patrons when the city’s population was less than 500,000. Today, the city’s population is 1.25 million and more than 480,000 people use the central library alone. Barrow said the new $196.7 million central library is centrally located, as well, with easy access by freeway, trolley, bus or air. “Do we need a central library in the age of the Internet?” asked Barrow answering, “Yes, and we’ve got one.” The design of the new, 497,652Libraries in the age of the Internet? square-foot Central Library building at At the Sept. 28 downtown library dedi- 330 Park Blvd. reflects the input of huncation, Barrow noted the facility was “30 dreds of people who participated in a yearyears in the making” and “a dream come long series of public workshops.

Wellington Quigley FAIA and Tucker Sadler Architects collaborated on the structure of the library building, which offers flexible spaces with diverse and accessible public amenities including bayview terraces, roof gardens and a public reading room. Special features include a flexible Special Events room on the ninth floor, a state-of-the-art auditorium, and a beautiful reading room under the landmark lattice dome. The new library has high-speed, wireless Internet throughout the building, more than 400 computers and tablets, a TV studio, an art gallery and sculpture court and even a high school on two floors. The full name of the new facility is The San Diego Central Library at Joan & Irwin Jacobs Common.

In the midst of heated debate about the proposed stadium-lighting plan at Point Loma High School, the annual Homecoming game, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 8, has been moved from its 6:30 p.m. kickoff to an afternoon game, starting at 2:30 p.m. This would have been the ninth consecutive “Friday Night Lights” game at the campus. But, with

some school district officials pushing for major area traffic and busing plans, PLHS principal Hans Becker made the decision to “pull the plug” on this year’s event. “I wanted to make clear the reasons of the Homecoming game-time change,” Becker said. “The scheduled nighttime Homecoming game is a tradition we have had at Point Loma High for SEE LIGHTING, Page 8

NEWS 2 Dana athletic field joint-use agreement becoming a thorny issue THURSDAY · OCTOBER 31, 2013

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON A pledged donation from a former Major League baseball player and Point Loma High School alum to take better care of a joint-use ball field at Dana Middle School has ironically sparked controversy. David “Boomer” Wells, a former New York Yankee, Toronto Blue Jay and San Diego Padre pitching star who is now the pitching coach for his alma mater at PLHS has offered to improve Dana Middle School’s baseball field, which Point Loma High also uses. Wells is willing to take responsibility for the field and has pledged to “maintain it at a higher level” than that currently provided by the city or the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). The city and school district jointly operate the 7.3-acre area, nearly half of which is the ball field.

The problem is, in order take Wells up on his monetary offer, the school district has to pull the ball field out of the jointuse agreement with the city, which has been in effect since 1994. And that is something the city is loathe to do. “The Peninsula community is currently deficient in population-based parks by 78 acres,” said Jim Winter of the city’s Park and Recreation Department. “If you take the 3.5-acre ball field out, that bumps the park deficiency up to 81.5 percent. Our (parks) department can’t in good conscience increase the park deficit when our goal is to decrease it.” Winter said the recreation element of the city’s general plan calls for providing 2.8 acres of park space for every 1,000 residents. By that standard, he said, “Eighty percent of our communities are deficient in population-based parks.” The 7.3-acre joint-use area at Dana

Middle School, also known as the Richard Henry Dana Center, is one of about 90 joint-use facilities co-operated by the city and school districts, primarily San Diego Unified School District, throughout the city. Winter said joint-use recreational facilities between the city and schools have been used since the 1940s as an effective tool to get the most out of scarce recreational space. Typically, joint-use agreements between the city and schools to jointly operate fields and other recreational amenities provide locked-gate school use from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after the school day and public use thereafter and on weekends via an unlocked gate. In November 2012, the Board of Education voted unanimously to begin the process of removing the baseball field at Dana Middle School from the

joint-use agreement between the school district and the city. Randy White, interim director of real estate for SDUSD, said the school district wants to keep an open mind about the ball field and its future. “We have an agreement right now set to expire in 2019,” White said. “We have a benefactor who wants to have

the field maintained to a higher standard than what the city is able to do. We’re still in negotiations with the city.” The issue of severing Dana ball field from the joint-use agreement between the city and SDUSD is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on Dec. 9.

OBTC mayoral candidate forum shows schisms, similarities of hopefuls BY TONY DE GARATE | THE BEACON Two very different candidates for the upcoming special mayoral election on Nov. 19 shared the same view of what ails city government during an Oct. 23 candidate forum hosted by the Ocean Beach Town Council. Communities are being shortchanged and deprived of basic services like libraries, road maintenance and recreation centers, according to San Diego City Councilman David Alvarez and for-

mer City Attorney Mike Aguirre, who addressed an audience of more than 40 at the Point Loma Masonic Lodge. But the two parted ways when outlining their solutions to the ailments. Echoing a theme expressed by disgraced, departed Mayor Bob Filner, Alvarez’ comments reflected the view that too much emphasis has been placed on downtown redevelopment, to the detriment of community needs. “Our city is really at a crossroads,” Alvarez said. “We have this opportunity

to build a city that is based on our wonderful neighborhoods. The question we need to ask is: ‘Are we going to keep giving away money downtown or are we going to spend it in the neighborhoods where we can actually reach the citizens and make an impact?’” he asked. Aguirre said the city treasury is being drained by pension obligations and he asserted he was the only candidate to face the facts. SEE FORUM, Page 6

NEWS Midway planners get smattering of legislative briefings on leasing confusion, water-rate hike BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The North Bay Community Planning Group (NBCPG) was briefed on the sports arena lease situation and heard reports from local government representatives on pending legislation and other matters during its Oct. 16 meeting. The advisory group was also introduced to interim mayor Todd Gloria’s new community representative, Scott Barfield. Rachel Gregg of state Assemblywoman Toni Atkins’ office spoke about new state legislation. “Assemblymember Atkins has authored a fun bill that creates new license plates with Snoopy on them for an extra $50 registration charge,” said Gregg. Gregg said money raised from the fee goes toward supporting the museums in California. John Ly from District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer’s office filled group members in on a proposed city water-rate hike, saying prices are proposed to go up 7.25 percent in 2014 and 7.5 percent in 2015. “[The city buys] water from the county Water Authority and they buy from the Metropolitan Water District, which gets its water from the Colorado River,” said Ly. “Metropolitan is raising its rates

and we are at the bottom of the totem pole. Last time this happened, the City Council opted not to pass on the rate increase, taking the money out of reserves instead.” Ly said efforts are under way to explore using alternative water sources like desalinization, groundwater and toilet-to-tap advanced filtering. “Our goal is to move away from using water from the Colorado River and use local supplies,” Ly said. “The idea is, with more of a local supply we can help blunt future water rate increases.” NBCPG chairwoman Melanie Nickel said the group was surprised to find that several real-estate leases surrounding Valley View Casino Center (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena) at 3500 Sports Arena Blvd. are expiring at widely varying times.

THURSDAY · OCTOBER 31, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

“We thought they all expired by 2028, but some of the leases go much beyond that,” Nickel said. “We’d recommended that no leases be extended beyond 2028 so that we could look at the whole area as package.” Businesses surrounding the sports arena, their size and lease expiration dates are: Stonewood Garden Apartments, 8.36 aces, 2024; Orchard II, 5.59 acres, 2036; ST Associates, 5.01 acres, 2032; Sports Arena Village, 17.61 acres, 2029; Tusch-Derbonne, 0.61 aces, 2035; AEG Management (sports arena), 33.58 acres, 2020; AEG Management (Sports Arena Square), 5 acres, month-to-month; Dixieline Lumber, 3.8 acres, 2015; Trend Furniture, 0.59 acres, 2015; Pier 1 Imports, 1.17 acres, 2014, Strauss Family Trust,

U.S., Japan space out for collaborative watery mission

TideLines.org By JUDITH LEA GARFIELD

When I entered NASA’s “Let it Snow” international photo competition as part of a climate studies course, I didn’t expect to win. My tongue-in-cheek photo depicted drifts of snowlike seafoam washed ashore. A month later, when I received email congratulations for my winning photo, now a permanent fixture on NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement webpage (pmm.nasa.gov/node/763), I decided to find out what was behind the seemingly whimsical contest. Turns out, it’s an exciting joint project between the U.S. and Japan, which will make for a game-changer in the near future of weather and climate forecast-

ing and understanding. Presently, it seems we are bombarded with wayward weather reports, leading many of us believe we are better weather forecasters than the experts. But our experts could do better at tracking weather as it forms, moves, intensifies and abates if they not only had access to a massively larger set of weather observations but that said data were continually updated since weather can change on a dime. To bring this to reality would require many more weather satellites than we have or can afford to operate. More weather satellites do orbit the planet but they are owned and operated by other countries, and each collects data independently of one another. That’s not terribly efficient because the data can’t be shared because the data sets are customized to each country’s own standards (connecting observations from one system to another would be akin to trying to standardize a wallet containing dollars, Euros, rupees and sheckles). What to do? Enter the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, a joint undertaking by NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), with cooperation from a consortium of international space agencies with their own orbiting weather satellites. The mission involves launching a “Core Observatory” research satellite next year, which will carry the first instruments able to make three-dimensional measurements of precipitation from space. The Core will also act as a sort-of Grand Central Station (i.e., the reference

As the world turns, the NASA–JAXA core-research satellite will be launched as part of the Global Precipitation Mission, orbiting Earth along with other internationally launched satellites to provide global rain and snow data at three-hour intervals. Courtesy NASA

standard) for worldwide weather sharing by collecting and unifying all incoming global rain and snow observations from the consortium’s satellites to make them meaningful. These data will be updated every three hours (how long it takes for all the satellites to observe precipitation over the entire globe). What the GPM mission gets us for our money will advance our scientific understanding of Earth’s water and energy cycle, meaning we can expect improved climate models, which will translate to improved regional weather and precipitation forecasts and warnings (a wel-

come development). To date, it has been the Wild West up in the sky in terms of weather satellites but now we are on a (GPM) mission to follow the water. Knowing where and how much precipitation falls globally is vital to our understanding of the complexities that make up weather and climate, which impact all life on Earth (seafoam formation being just one remarkable example). I see now that NASA’s photo competition was not the least bit frivolous because it not only brings awareness of the program but the GPM website will allow the public access to the same Core satellite data as the experts.

Woman testifies over sex assault near Rosecrans BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON A 30-year-old La Jolla woman has identified a man whom she said raped her behind a closed restaurant on Pacific Highway near Rosecrans Street. He has been ordered to stand trial on four charges. The victim told San Diego Superior Court Judge Joan Weber that Michael Meretse Tesfa, 22, also robbed her of her iPhone, backpack and most of her clothing after he ran off on March 18. Weber ordered Tesfa to stand trial for rape, kidnapping, robbery and false imprisonment on Oct. 3 at the end of a preliminary hearing. Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth McClutchey announced she may file a charge of kidnapping for rape, an offense that carries a life sentence. A trial date of Jan. 24 was set on Oct. 17 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh. Tesfa has pleaded not guilty. The sexual assault took place behind Perry’s Café, which is open for breakfast and lunch, but is closed at night. The woman said she was in the area after taking the wrong bus and ended up at the Old Town Trolley Station, which is close to the restaurant. She testified she met Tesfa earlier in SEE ATTACK, Page 5

More perspectives on permanent high school stadium lighting

Letter writers clarify position Lights detrimental to property values, quality of life on cliffs’ erosion-control ideas I would like to respond to the guest view regarding the PLHS stadium lights [“Anti-stadium lights campaign sending the wrong message,” Oct. 17 Beacon, Page 5]. I, too, was born and raised in San Diego and am an alumni of Point Loma High School, class of 1973. I am also one of seven children who all attended PLHS. My mother, aunt, uncles, nieces and nephew all attended PLHS. Our two daughters attended and our youngest is a senior this year. Virtually every decade since the 1940s, there has been a member of my family attending PLHS. I live in the house my parents built in 1950, which is located one block from the school. It’s with this experience that I feel I can weigh in on this issue, as did Brandt Truver in your last edition. I enjoy living next to the school. The sights and sounds of the school, students and activities are part of my childhood memory and I find it familiar and comforting today. Coach whistles, cheerleaders cheering and the band playing are part of this neighborhood and just one of the reasons we enjoy living here. We’ve never had a problem with any of the students or daytime school activities. Having said this, I am against plans for permanent stadium lights. A few years ago, PLHS started renting lights for the Homecoming game at night,

which created problems with the traffic and activities outside of the stadium. Our streets are narrow and dark with people milling around; some drinking alcohol, littering, trespassing and sometimes urinating in our yards. Because it only happens once a year, we have been putting up with it, but we know if the lights are there permanently it will become a much more frequent problem. Mr. Truver’s suggestion that we raise funds to hire more security is unrealistic and unreasonable. Security is the responsibility of the school and San Diego Police Department and the stadium will be used more frequently and by other organizations, as well. The Rock Church Academy is interested, as well as Point Loma Nazarene University, Albion soccer and Pop Warner football. The stadium will be used as often as possible in order to offset the cost of making the improvements and raise revenue for the school district, not directly to PLHS. Improving game attendance is cited as one reason for installing lights. Somehow, for 80 years, students and families have been managing to attend games during the day. Enhancing the stadium in order to accommodate sports activities and make it more convenient for students and parents is not enough reason to create a real burden to those of us who live near the school. We are mostly homeowners and are concerned about our property values,

as well. Having a busy stadium used by multiple organizations both during the day and at night will definitely have a negative effect on our property values along with our quality of life. The school district is desperate for money and has found a way to raise revenue by transforming high school stadiums into moneymaking commercialized stadiums. Unfortunately, the PLHS stadium is literally in our back yards and cannot be used for this purpose without greatly affecting the lives of those who live nearby. We all knew we were buying houses next to a school, one that did not have stadium lights and was used only for PLHS activities for 80 years. The school is in the middle of a neighborhood and shares property lines with homes. A ticket booth has just been built at the stadium entrance in between two houses on a residential street with only street parking available, creating traffic and parking problems. The plans for the stadium go over and above what the neighborhood can handle. Our organization [Save Our Neighborhood] does support the school while trying to maintain our quality of life in the neighborhood we love. PLHS has been a good neighbor for many years and hopefully that will continue. Remember, once a Pointer always a Pointer!

Both sides of controversy could benefit from rational discussion This controversy, from what I can make of it, amazes me. Having spent years as a community planner and having two daughters who attend Point Loma High School, and caring much more about fairness than organized sports, I’ll weigh in. The school has been there for many decades and, thus, the odds are that all of the lighting opponents followed rather than preceded it. PLHS has long had a stadium, and stadiums generally are lighted. Those who oppose stadium lighting effectively seek to misappropriate public assets

for their unreasonable needs and gain, not the other way around, as contended by Jennifer Dariani [“Possible permanent PLHS stadium lighting has some all lit up,” Oct. 17 Beacon, Page 5]. What needs to be done is to recognize the legitimacy and primacy of the stadium with lighting and then work to mitigate its effects. Restriction on unnecessary hours and lighting immediately come to mind as mitigation measures. Lights at Robb Field must be visible from outer space, and that seems quite excessive. I doubt

that all of the lights are always necessary and their waste is expensive, no matter whether at PLHS or elsewhere. Helix Charter High School has a 9 p.m. weeknight noise curfew, and so could PLHS. Now, let’s get beyond the frivolous claims of both sides and get on to serving the legitimate needs of athletes and audiences alike without unnecessarily wasting resources or unnecessarily impairing life in the surrounding community.

ATTACK

The woman said he punched her six times and pulled her clothing off her. “It felt like forever. I was crying. He was continuing to hit me. I was screaming.” She said he suddenly stopped, zipped up his pants, and “took off toward a canyon toward Pacific Highway” with her clothing and iPhone. She said she grabbed a dirty long sleeve shirt on the ground and put her legs through the sleeves. She ran toward a liquor store on Rosecrans Street and asked that someone call police. She was taken to a hospital. She had a black eye, and lost part of a tooth. She had glass in one foot from broken glass on the ground. A stipulation between the prosecutor and defense attorney Euketa Oliver was read into the record indicating that DNA from Tesfa matches semen that was found during an exam of the victim. San Diego Police officer Ryan Schultz testified he responded to the 9-1-1 call and found Tesfa in a dry riverbed. He said Tesfa was “sweating profusely” when he saw him and noticed he was wearing a black backpack and holding a

pink jacket. Tesfa dropped the backpack and ran when he saw the officer, but Schultz said he caught up to him and arrested him. Schultz said he secured the victim’s

She said at that point “he was very charming, very friendly.” The victim became anxious as she started to recount the steps leading to the rape, and a recess was called. She returned and testified she and Tesfa were walking to the trolley station and they both sat on a bench in front of the closed restaurant. She said she was looking at bus schedules and was startled when “he hit me in the face with a closed fist.” The victim said he pulled and dragged her to the back of the restaurant at an indented area. “It was really scary back there — no light. It was a place where nobody could see me or hear me scream,” she said. She said the stench of urine was strong and there were old clothes that were abandoned by homeless people. “He shoved me down on the ground. I started screaming for help. He was stronger than me,” she said.

By CRAIG BARILOTTI AND CAMMIE INGRAM This is a response to Dave Schwab’s article, “Experts at odds on how to stave off Sunset Cliffs erosion,” in the July 25 Beacon. The article touches on water quality and stormwater management issues at the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park’s park that we and others discussed at the July 18 Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) meeting relative to a California Coastal Conservancy grant to the city for hillside park improvements. Having been involved for over 20 years to enhance and bring back the precious resource that is Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, including leading the successful effort to obtain the park master plan in 2005, we want to be clear that we support the proposed significant re-vegetation efforts and improving trails within the park. What we would like to clarify is why we are opposed to the use of a traditional storm drain with ocean disposal in the park. Installation of these large pipes at the base of slopes will not control erosion upslope, thereby will allow sediments and other pollutants (hydrocarbons, fertilizers, pesticides, animal waste) to enter the drainage system and be discharged through a dilapidated concrete swale to the center of Garbage Beach, causing marine pollution and increasing public health risks for eye, ear, skin and gastric infections. Low-impact development/best management projects (LID/BMPs) are what are called for by state Water Quality Control Board regulations (MS4) to protect people and the marine habitat from pollution. Basically, the MS4 regulations call for measures to be implemented at the source of the runoff to prevent erosion through infiltration or use, treat pollutants and thus avoid the costly, highly disruptive and ineffective installation of over 2,500 linear feet of 12” and 18” pipes, as is proposed. The city is a co-permittee to these regulations (2007 and May 8, 2013), so it is perplexing why the plans for the hillside improvement project are not trying

to control runoff and pollutants generated on park property at the source. At the PCPB meeting, city engineer Ali Darvishi stated that the city is exempt from following MS4 stormwater regulations that have been in place since 2007. We have not been able to find this exemption and people knowledgeable about regulatory matters state on the contrary that all projects are required by MS4 regulations, starting with planning, to implement minimum post-construction LID/BMPs. LID/BMPs used at the source, before storm water is contaminated with erosion sediment and other pollutants, provide: (1) Control and treatment of upslope stormwater running off impervious surfaces. (2) Treat stormwater using bio-swales and other BMPs to remove pollutants that now contaminate the park, surfing locations and other beneficial-use areas of Garbage Beach, thus reducing infections contracted by people using these ocean waters. (3) Reduce degradation of intertidal habitats and harm to marine plants and animals that now occurs. (4) Use captured stormwater to promote the growth of native plants such as Torrey pines and oak trees that native Americans living on Point Loma farmed for their acorns. We are proposing an adjunct study (total cost about $35,000) be added to the improvements project that would consider where it would be appropriate to use BMPs for runoff control. This adjunct study would allow the Point Loma community to evaluate varying methods for controlling storm water in the park. The California Coastal Conservancy has told us it wants the hillside improvements done right, and are willing to extend the grant period to ensure the project conforms to the MS4 regulations. We have been attempting to get the city to incorporate LID/BMP measures in the hillside improvements project for two years. Why is the city resisting complying with these regulations and protecting people who use this popular body contact area?

were offered five minutes to make a statement and five minutes to take questions. Alvarez underscored his support for the city’s town councils and said the lack of mechanisms for community input spurred his activism in his Barrio Logan community. “We didn’t have any of these councils, because nobody had taken the initiative. I got involved in government because I thought I could make a difference,” Alvarez said. “When the community is involved, and you can voice your concerns. It can really make a difference.” Responding to questions, Alvarez said he favored medical marijuana dispensaries but wants zoning that allows better geographical distribution of such facilities. On the issue of a new Chargers stadium, he said he opposed using public funds. Aguirre was also wary of public spending for a Chargers stadium and pointed out he filed a lawsuit as city attorney to try and end the infamous ticket guarantee. But he said that amount of money was “miniscule” compared to the city’s pension obligations. Aguirre said he still believes pension benefit increases granted during the mayoral administrations of Susan Golding and Dick Murphy were illegal, but that he no longer favors a court-ordered remedy. “Every single investigation into the

pension benefits concluded they were given illegally,” Aguirre said. “I’m not saying we should have a lawsuit about it. I’m saying we need a mayor who is going to come and tell you the truth and then work together to have a consensus.” Laing said Fletcher often bucked the Republican party during his time in the state legislature and worked with Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown to close a corporate tax loophole during budget discussions. “He could have been one of the minority-party naysayers that doesn’t get anything done,” Laing said. “He got a lot of grief from Republicans.” Fletcher, who switched his party affiliation to Independent during his mayoral campaign last year and has since re-registered as Democrat, boasts endorsements from labor groups, environmental groups and several Democratic office holders, Laing said.

“I have a major difference with the other three candidates,” Aguirre said. “As mayor, I want you to know we don’t have enough money to pay for everything [because] we’re spending $275 million on pensions.” Aguirre and Alvarez, both Democrats in the officially nonpartisan election, were the only candidates among the four hopefuls invited to the forum to actually appear in person. Nathan Fletcher, a former Republican state assemblyman who switched parties to Independent and now Democrat, is a senior director of corporate development for Qualcomm. He was represented at the forum by Rachel Laing, the campaign’s communications director. Fletcher apparently could not attend due to a work-related commitment, Laing said. The only Republican candidate, District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, reportedly declined because of a prior engagement, said Jon Carr, the Town Council’s corresponding secretary. Carr said he emailed back to suggest sending a representative, as Fletcher did, but received no response from the Faulconer camp.

The ban would not apply to plastic bags in the produce section, said Kube, who was invited to address board members about an ordinance under consideration by the San Diego City Council. Only five percent of the 500 million single-use plastic bags used annually throughout the

city gets recycled, Kube said. • Terri Wyatt, who is running for San Diego County district attorney next year, introduced herself to board members. Wyatt had been a deputy district attorney for the county until retiring last month to devote herself to campaigning. She described herself as a “career prosecutor, not a politician” and said expanding the elder-abuse unit is one of the changes she would make, if elected. • A new slate of officers for 2013-14 took their seats for the first time: Gretchen Kinney Newsom, president; Stephen Grosch, vice president; Melinda Therkalsen, treasurer; Marin Green, recording secretary; and Jon Carr, correspondence secretary. Committee chairs are: Jim Musgrove, Community Enhancement; Anthony Palmiotto, Community Relations; Jody Thompson, Membership; Dave Cieslak, Public Relations; Jenn Avoledo, Ocean Beach MainStreet Association liaison; and Giovanni Ingolia, Ocean Beach Planning Board liaison. • Citizens curious about “Life Journey,” a proposed memorial to replace the current Veterans’ Plaza at the foot of Newport Avenue, can get more information at the Ocean Beach Planning Board’s next monthly meeting Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. at the Ocean Beach Recreation Center, 4726 Santa Monica Ave. Grosch said he will make a presentation and ask for support. More information is available at obcdc.org.

• Members of the Ocean Beach Elementary PTA and OB Kiwanis Club were on hand to accept grants presented by Musgrove for service to the community, including help during last month’s annual Pier Breakfast fundraising tradition. • Roughly 100 works of art from local Great Depression-era artists will be on display this month for the first time in decades. The Ocean Beach Historical Society’s program, “Landscapes Rediscovered Featuring John DeBeck” will take place Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. at the United Methodist Church, 1984 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. DeBeck, a former longtime board member on the San Diego Unified School District, found out local schools had acquired paintings created by acclaimed San Diego artists Charles Reiffel, Maurice Braun and others, commissioned under the Works Progress Administration as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “New Deal Program.” DeBeck found out the donated art had disappeared or was set aside, said Kathy Blavatt of the Historical Society. • There’s a new addition to the list of local government representatives who give monthly reports to the Town Council.

NEWS QUICKHITS Trial begins for suspected killer of homeless man A Pacific Beach man went on trial this week for the 2012 murder of Darrin Joseph, a Point Loma man whose body was found in the 4900 block of North Harbor Drive. A jury was sworn in Oct. 25 and attorneys gave their opening statements Oct. 28 in the trial of Shane Brian Grattan, 57, in San Diego Superior Court. Judge Amalia Meza, who heard Grattan’s preliminary hearing in 2012, is the trial judge. Joseph, 45, was apparently beaten inside Grattan’s camper van and his body was dragged into the bushes where a passerby discovered it on Jan. 19, 2012. The victim’s blood was found throughout Grattan’s van, though someone had used a lot of water to clean it up. A deputy medical examiner testified at the preliminary hearing that Joseph had suffered from some type of blunt-force trauma with injuries to the head, neck and chest. A weapon was not found. A criminologist testified earlier that tests showed the presence of blood on the steering wheel, doors, windows and handles of the Dodge Tradesman camper that Grattan owned and apparently lived in. Grattan was arrested Feb. 8, 2012, in the 1600 block of Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach at a facility where the homeless often receive meals. Grattan remains in custody on $1 million bail. — Neal Putnam

Man, 70, held for soliciting teenage girls A federal judge has ordered the owner of an Ocean Beach real-estate school to remain in federal prison without bail after he was charged with sex trafficking of two young teenage girls. Michael F. Lustig, 70, was arrested during a traffic stop on Governor Drive in University City on Oct. 1, following a yearlong investigation that started when he was arrested during a prostitution sting at a motel on June 8, 2012. Authorities looked at Lustig’s cell phones and discovered he had been texting two young girls, aged 13 and 14. The two federal charges Lustig is facing involve sex trafficking of a minor that affects interstate commerce. The girls apparently received money from Lustig for some type of sexual activity. The evidence against him includes his text messages to the girls. Lustig sent more than 60 texts to one girl in a two-month period in 2011, according to court documents. The words bookstore and library were

used as words to set up a date involving prostitution, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Lustig allegedly rented motel rooms, according to surveillance camera footage. Lustig is being held without bail. “There appears to be no conditions short of custody that will adequately protect the community,” said Dembin. Lustig’s profile on Linkedin.com says he is the owner of Real Estate License Services that is located in Ocean Beach. The website for the school doesn’t mention his name. His next appearance in U.S. District Court is set for Oct. 29 and he has pleaded not guilty. He remains in custody. — Neal Putnam

Elderly bank robber gets 37-month sentence The contrast was striking: the 79-year-old man who wore a suit, tie and a fedora-style hat when he robbed a Point Loma bank in May appeared Oct. 28 in a prison uniform and in a wheelchair as he was sentenced to 7 months in federal prison. U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Huff denied probation for Dale Eugene Jenkins, who pleaded guilty in July to the robbery in which $80 was taken from the Comerica Bank at 3361 Rosecrans St. “He did it on purpose to get caught so he could have a place to live,” said his attorney, Kris Kraus, who said Jenkins was a homeless veteran. “I do not recommend you do this in the future,” said Huff to the grey-haired man. “I am not recommending this way in getting attention.” The money was recovered. Jenkins was arrested several blocks away with a rolling suitcase, which Kraus said represented all his possessions at the time. “I rob banks. It’s my hobby,” said Jenkins at the scene to a KGTV reporter in a video that went viral on the Internet before Jenkins was placed in a police patrol car. Jenkins will get credit for five months he has already spent in prison. — Neal Putnam

Merchants warned of imposter SDG&E scam

Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) and the Pacific Beach Business Improvement District (PBBID) to merchants who are being targeted by a telephone scam, in which imposters posing as representatives of San Diego Gas & Electric are attempting to extort money. According to the business advocates, the scam involves an immediate threat by the scammers to have a merchant’s power disconnected by SDG&E within a very short period of time if “X” amount is not paid. Reports have been filed that dollar amounts range from several hundred to over $1,000. The scammer apparently has access to specific information about a merchant’s account and payment history. According to the OBMA and PBBID, SDG&E will not call merchants to settle up on an outstanding invoice, but rather leave a written notice. Merchants are urged to call SDG&E first to confirm any information before making a payment. This is a crime that should be reported to the police department’s Economic Crimes Division at (619) 446-1031. For more information about the scam, visit the SDG&E website at www.sdge.com/node/2755.

The Navy has started public outreach on the pipeline-replacement project and an environmental impact study is expected in fall 2015, with construction anticipated in 2015.

Because of the environmental impact report currently taking place for our school’s modernization projects, many district personnel wanted to ensure a controlled atmosphere for the evening. As a result, many decisions were being considered that were not under the control of the school.” Avoiding politics, it seems, was part of the consideration for Becker. “I made a decision to move the game to the earlier time because I strongly believe that our students should not

tanks were placed onsite. By 1954, the pipeline connected the fuel farm to Miramar. Today, 54 above- and below-ground tanks hold 100 million barrels of fuel. From the fuel farm, the 17-mile pipeline extends along Rosecrans Street, turns north to cross the San Diego River near Interstate 8, crosses the Rose Canyon Fault near Tecolote Road, and runs under the Tecolote Canyon Golf Course before heading for the intersection of Balboa and Mount Abernathy avenues. After crossing the 805, it travels north to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Each year, the pipeline carries 323 million gallons of diesel and jet fuel from Point Loma to Miramar at 800 pounds of pressure per square inch. Gilhooly warns that the consequences of a pipeline rupture would be a catastrophic oil spill. In 2006, the Navy revealed that

about 1.5 million gallons of fuel had leaked from the aging Point Loma tanks. Three years later, construction began to replace most of those tanks. PCPB chairwoman Julia Quinn made a proposal, unanimously supported by the group, to draft and send a letter to the Navy asking it to appear before the board and make a presentation on the pipeline-replacement project. PCPB secretary Nicole Burgess gave a brief presentation outlining several proposed City Council District 2 Bike/Pedestrian Advisory Committee recommendations. The recommendations include improving safe routes to schools for Point Loma High, Correia Middle, Dana Middle, Loma Portal, Silver Gate, Sunset View, Ocean Beach, Dewey and Cabrillo elementaries, High Tech High, Explorer and The Rock schools. “There are three top-priority projects on the bike corridors along Voltaire,

Chatsworth and Nimitz,” said Burgess, who added that all three are “worth noting on the CIP list.” CIP projects are construction works providing improvements or additions like land, buildings and infrastructure. The CIP is a multiple-year forecast of the capital needs of the city. Eligible CIP projects include improvements to airports, bikeways, bridges, drainage and flood-control facilities, libraries, park and recreation centers, police, fire and lifeguard stations, lights and traffic signals, utilities undergrounding and water, sewer facilities and pipelines. Burgess said committee recommendations include everything from shared street right-of-way markings to constructing better bike lanes. “These improvements would give thousands of families and kids an opportunity to ride bicycles, roller skate or skateboard safely,” Burgess said.

“Right now, a lot of families are not encouraging their kids to do these things because it’s not safe.”

become the centerpiece of an event that was becoming more and more political,” he said. “I also want to make clear that the decision was not based on our neighbors’ concerns; rather they wanted us to have our evening game and came with a list of suggestions for the evening. I take responsibility for the decision and welcome any discussion with any students. I look forward to an excellent Homecoming game celebration.” While the school’s Pete Ross Stadium has never had permanent lighting for night play, volunteers at the 88-year-old school began renting portable generators eight years ago to provide students, fans and the community the opportunity of a night game for Homecoming. The annual night game proved a success, as returning alumni and others overflowed the stadium, renewing

acquaintances, enjoying the halftime parade of student floats and cheering the Pointer football team on to victory while enjoying barbecued burgers and hot dogs. This year’s event had been planned since last year and the lights had been reserved with the cost picked up by American West Bank. Some nearby neighbors have been vocal about problems they said occur during night events at the school. One of these involves traffic and parking. A suggestion made during a series of community forums to develop a site master plan was to close some streets near the campus, make others one-way during events and have buses shuttling fans to the game from nearby school campuses, using the Homecoming game as a test case.

Implementing such a plan, according to Becker, would involve lengthy planning and preparation involving the school district, city government and the police department. PLHS students who were looking forward to the event staged a brief walkout from their fourth-period classes Oct. 23. While police officers were called to oversee traffic and safety issues, Becker spoke with students and the walkout ended quickly and without incident. John Murphy, PLHS athletic director, said voluntary assemblies were planned during student lunch periods recently so that he and Becker could explain the situation, share some of the master plan issues and reinforce the importance of students always being good neighbors and show respect in the community. “We always try the best we can to put on great events for our kids,” Murphy said. He added that he and another school administrator have combed the neighborhood following previous night games and picked up any trash they could find. “We are disappointed by the change of time for the game,” said head football coach Mike Hastings. “But I understand the logistics that caused this to

be done. We are hoping that once the stadium-lighting issues are resolved, we can bring the excitement of nighttime Pointer football to the community on a regular basis.” An environmental impact report is being completed on the effect of the proposed stadium lighting and other improvements. The results will be announced at a community forum on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the PLHS library. The Point Loma community has split into opposing factions over plans of the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) to install permanent stadium lights at PLHS. Vocal neighbors first organized to fight the lighting plan under the banner of “Save Our Neighborhood.” Later, a group of residents supporting the lighting plan appeared with its own banner of “Support Our Schools” as its slogan. During the first two of four planned meetings to gather community input on a proposed master plan for the future of PLHS, angry residents, many who live near the school, have challenged the plans and added complaints of other issues, including parking, traffic, trash and public urination.

In other action • The PCPB voted unanimously to file an appeal of a recent city Planning Commission approval for permitting for the Peeling property in the Peninsula Community Plan Area. The advisory group previously voted down the project, which calls for subdividing an existing acre site into five new lots with construction of three new single-family homes at 3340 and 3328 Harbor View Drive. “Three houses crammed into that area is just too much,” said PCPB board member Jay Shumaker. “You wouldn’t be able to get a fire truck down to those houses, they’re building on an unstable landform and it certainly doesn’t fit in with community character,” agreed PCPB board member Bruce Coons.

The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority won two orchids during the 2013 Orchids & Onions Awards Ceremony on Oct. 4 for the public art and interior architecture of The Green Build — the recent Terminal 2 West expansion at San Diego International Airport. The annual event is held by the San Diego Architectural Foundation. The Orchids & Onions jury called The Green Build “breathtaking from a distance, up close, outside and inside,” and said it “creates a sense of place, provides an awesome aesthetic journey and combines the very best of form and function.” Airport Authority board chairman Robert Gleason, board members Bruce Boland and Paul Robinson, president/CEO Thella Bowens and art program manager Constance White took to the stage to receive the awards. “We’re honored by this recognition and proud of the innovative public art integrated throughout The Green Build expansion,” said Gleason. “We share this recognition with the many talented artists who created these works, with the airport’s dedicated art staff and with all airport staff who contribute to the vibrant artistic environment at the air-

port. I also thank the Airport Authority Board and the Art Advisory Committee for their vision and support of the art program.” Bowens also commented on the award. “We share this recognition with all airport staff and construction workers who had a role in the success of The Green Build, as well as with our contractors, Turner/PCL/Flatiron and the project architect, HTNB.” The Orchids & Onions jury described The Green Build’s interior architecture as “open, airy and light,” adding that “extensive use of glass takes advantage of natural light for energy efficiency.” Regarding the public art in The Green Build, the jury said it “adds a dimension of beauty that elevates the experience.” For more information about The Green Build, visit bit.ly18BWEHj.

SPORTS 9 PLHS hammers La Jolla in Western League showdown THURSDAY · OCTOBER 31, 2013

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON It’s good to know there are many fine shoe stores in the elegant La Jolla shopping district because residents might be cruising the seaside community barefoot if they had to acquire footwear from the Point Loma High football team. For the 11th straight year, the Pointers defeated the La Jolla football team to retain possession of the once-proud but now missing trophy known as “The Shoe.” This year’s game, played Oct. 18 at Gene Edwards Stadium on the Viking campus, saw the Pointers surge to a 317 halftime advantage before coasting to game’s end with a 44-24 blowout of the hosts. The victory ups the Pointers record to 5-3 overall (2-0 in Western League) while the Vikes dropped to 3-4 (0-1). “They’re a different team now,” said Pointer head coach Mike Hastings about the Vikings. “They spread it out (the offense) and throw the ball 95 percent of the time, so I thought our defense came out and played extremely well.” The Pointers scored on every possession in the first half, with Jaime Medina’s 47-yard field goal ending their first drive. Following a Viking punt, Jalen Griffin, running a sweep to the right, broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run with 4:27 still left in the first quarter. On the first play following the kickoff, Dogs defender DeAndré Benson picked off a Viking pass attempt and returned it 40 yards to the hosts’ 18-yard line. From here, a Viking sack backed the Pointers up 23 yards, but Griffin again answered the call on a 41-yard run that upped the lead to 17-0 with 3:06 still to

play in the opening period. That’s 17 points in a span of just 8:54 of game time. The Pointers were plagued during the game by illegal procedure penalties, and on their next possession in the second quarter, after several such miscues, quarterback Gavin Grady lofted a pass down the left sideline and into the arms of Dirk Lacy. The running back’s moves left Viking defenders grasping at air as he scored on the 31-yard play to put his team up 24-0. The Vikings continued to put the ball in the air and connected on a 51-yard catch and run for their first points. But the Pointers struck again following a 35-yard pass from quarterback Quinn Bohannon to Drew Rutledge and a long run by Griffin that was capped by Lacy’s 20-yard run up the middle for the score with just under two minutes left in the first half. Make that 31 points in 22 minutes of play. The Dogs seemed to ease up in the second half, still adding scores by Rutledge (27-yard pass from Grady) and Bohannon (1-yard run). Later, Lacy’s interception in the end zone, which he returned for 85 yards to the hosts’ 17, was wasted when the Pointers couldn’t capitalize on the play. “I thought our kids came out and played their butts off in all three phases of the game,” Hastings said. The Pointers have been enjoying a bye week as they prepare for their final two regular season games. The first of those is set for Nov. 1 when Mission Bay’s Buccaneers pay a visit to Pete Ross Stadium for a 3 p.m. kickoff. The Bucs are having their best year in recent memory as they have sailed to a

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.

Something to brew about A toast to all things beer in Ocean Beach, Point Loma BY KENDRA HARTMANN | THE BEACON With Ocean Beach’s Oktoberfest still fresh in the community’s mind and with San Diego Beer Week fast approaching, we thought we’d take a look at the thriving beer culture in the county, particularly those breweries and pubs that make Ocean Beach and Point Loma the perfect place to down a cold one. • Pizza Port, 1956 Bacon St., (619) 224-4700, pizzaport.com Born in Solana Beach in the late 1980s, Pizza Port wasn’t originally intended to be a brewpub. Owner Vince Marsaglia began dabbling with home brewing in the restaurant’s storage space, but it soon became more than just a hobby and Pizza Port introduced its first brews to the public in 1992. The brews quickly became local favorites, and by 2010, the restaurant boasted four locations, including one in Ocean Beach. A few favorite brews: – Skidmark Brown: Marris Otter base malt and English hops – Newbreak Pale Ale: The house pale ale, it’s brewed with a mix of American and English hops and grain. – OB Chronic: An amber ale brewed year round with English malt and American hops.

along with plenty of ale, stateside. The menu is comprehensive, with a plethora of small plates (“munchies”) and salads. But where it really shines is its burger list, with everything from the Kiwilango (beef patty, sliced jalapenos, blue cheese, hot sauce and tortilla chips) and the pepper ’n’ pesto (beef or chicken, mozzarella, roasted peppers, tomato, pesto aioli and basil) to the lambalicious (lamb burger on French bread with a threecheese spread, spinach and chipotle carmalized onions). All beef burgers are made of organic, grass-fed beef. Raglan features a full bar, but its burgers are made to go with beer. For those looking for a little more than a straight pint, the menu offers beer cocktails, like the chocolate truffle with chocolate stout and raspberry lambic, or the shandy with a lager topped with ginger beer.

OB businesses, community members feted for neighborhood improvements The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) held its annual meeting and recognized members for contributions to the community on Oct. 24, simultaneously celebrating the 35th anniversary of the organization. Members of the community were recognized for volunteerism, creative promotions of their businesses and best use of the storefront improvement program, among other recognitions. They were celebrated with noisemakers, kazzos, party hats and more. The festivities were highlighted with music and an Ocean Beach trivia quiz hosted by Sevy and Ryan from Glasz Productions, and three special Ocean Beach songs performed by Billy Lee and the Swamp Critters. The group began the awards portion of the program by reciting the OB Pledge of Allegiance with the signature two-fingered peace signs in the air.

Students and educators from Cabrillo Elementary School received a $5,000 education grant this month from the Barona Band of Mission Indians. The school’s grant application was sponsored by state Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, whose district includes Point Loma. The school, located in the La Playa neighborhood of Point Loma, is one of the oldest schools in San Diego and serves students in grades K-4 from military and civilian families. As the cost of classroom textbooks continues to increase and are often an economic burden on families, Cabrillo Elementary officials said they plan to use the grant money to purchase dozens of new textbooks and lesson books. “The Barona Band of Mission Indians is proud to provide these bright young minds with access to educational materials that help put them on the path to success,” said Clifford LaChappa, chairman of the Barona Band of Mission Indians. “Many of our schools are in need of fundamental teaching tools, such as books, and our program has been instrumental in helping to fulfill those needs at schools across the state and right here in San Diego,” he said. Since 2006, the Barona Band of Mission Indians has awarded over $2 million to more than 400 schools statewide to help bridge school budget gaps and share resources through its Barona Education Grant Program. The program is the first of its kind in California created and administered by a tribal government. The goal of the program is to create strong educational opportunities for the children of California, building upon the success of the Barona Indian Charter School,

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 lifethreatening 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.

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

OB dinner theater vampire production to give boost to breast cancer victims

Music ‘ambassador’ Leyva sinks roots deep into performance industry

In the mid-1990s, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez made the cult classic “From Dusk Till Dawn.” It’s tale of two homicidal brothers who meet their match in an unforgettable Mexican saloon. Nearly 20 years later, the twisted story will be brought to life at a dinner theater production in Ocean Beach as a benefit event for breast cancer awareness and victims. On Nov. 2 and 3, an all-volunteer cast and crew will transform the Point Loma Masonic Lodge into a biker and trucker bar that was the scene of the second half of the film, when sexy dancers and menacing bartenders morphed into blood-starved vampires. Among the two-dozen-plus local volunteers are actors, dancers, musicians, makeup artists and crewmembers, all working to benefit Breast Cancer Angels, a group that supports women and their families undergoing cancer treatment. “The money goes directly to help people get by in their daily life,” said Sooty Hetrick, producer and director of the show. “From Dusk Till Dawn” is a gritty tale that starts with a jailbreak and ends up in a south-of-the-border dive bar with an impressive selection of seductive dancers. As the two fugitives share shots of tequila with a family they’ve taken as hostages, the scene turns surreal as the dancers reveal their inner-vampire and a bloody war begins between the dead and the undead. There will be three performances: one on Saturday, Nov. 2, and two on Sunday, Nov. 3. A three-course carnitas dinner will be served, with a vegan option avail-

San Diego has one of the most vibrant music communities in the world, a fact that is drawing both musicians and fans from all over the planet to our sunny shores. A clear indicator of that success is the fact there are now numerous labels, studios, bookers, pressing plants, promoters and so on located in San Diego — all a sign that things are happening here. One key person in the emerging scene is music ambassador and Ocean Beach resident Chris Leyva. He’s a crossover contender. Originally from Mexico, over the last decade, beyond his work as a singer and guitarist, Leyva has emerged as the main man behind music label and promotion company Black Cherry Music Company, establishing himself as a musician, promoter and lobbyist for San Diego music. Leyva is all over the place; one night at the Grammy’s, the next in London recording, then heading to Europe for a tour and back to Ocean Beach for a gig at Mother’s Saloon. It’s a whirlwind life, and Leyva said he loves every second of it. “How could I not?” he asked. “Music is all I’ve ever wanted to do and I’ve been lucky to have that happen.” He said it helps to be able to have variety in his life. “The fact that I’m kind of all over the place helps a bit,” he said. “I never get bored or tired of what I’m doing because it changes so much day to day. Sure, it’s all music, but some days I’m working with bookings, other days it’s songwriting or mentoring, so it’s a real range of things that I’m involved in.” While he’s proud to be an Ocean Beach resident, he considers himself a

able. Beer and cocktails will be served. All seats are reserved and those in the front will be in the thick of the action. Dressing as a biker or trucker is encouraged for people sitting in the front tables, with the outer tables labeled the “safety zone.” Limited tickets are available by visiting the SheTrick Entertainment website. The Nov. 2 show will begin at 7 p.m. and showtimes on Nov. 3 are 3 and 7 p.m. Single tickets, including dinner, begin at $75. Reservations may also be made for entire tables. It’s an R-rated show, so only those 21 and older will be admitted. The Point Loma Masonic Lodge is located at 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. — Staff and contribution

citizen of the world. “OB is my home and I love it,” he said. “At the same time, I’m on the road a good portion of the year. Let’s put it this way: I’m comfortable anywhere I am, but there’s no place like home.” Leyva’s love for his adopted hometown is evident in his recent album “Summer of Life,” which was released this summer. “I like to say that Ocean Beach is my co-producer on this one,” he said. “I wrote the material here and recorded the whole thing at my home with help from engineer Dan Shannon and lots of others. I was influenced by the way life unfolds in Ocean Beach, both my own and those around me that I observe. As a songwriter — and for me as a citizen — OB is gold.” Prolific to a fault, Leyva is constantly recording. While he is known as a rock performer, his most recent forays have crossed over into EDM (electronic dance

music) territory, recently working alongside electronica pioneers Red Flag and rapper Tha Franchise on his new single “Love Is Slow.” “Rock ’n’ roll is the core of who I am,” Leyva said. “However, there’s so much out there to explore. Plus, I meet so many cool people in my travels and I love to collaborate. So it’s only natural that I work with new sounds. But I’ll always come back to rock ’n’ roll. That’s what made me want to have a life in music.” Next up for Leyva is recording a follow up to “Summer of Life” and more touring. “I hope I can do more things in town next year,” he said. “I love traveling, but there is a special feeling when you play before a hometown crowd.” He said he’s happy with what he’s accomplished to date, but is still hoping to take things further. “Things have been nice, but as far I’m concerned, I’m just getting started,” he said.

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.

The Davidson family — Jeff, Julie, Jarred (who just turned 21) and Brooke (who just turned 30)— made it a milestone birthday celebration in Mexico with family, boyfriends and girlfriends. Not shown is Jamie Davidson, who just turned 25.

Susan Holberg, a 33-year resident of Ocean Beach, takes her favorite hometown newspaper along for a tropical visit to Hanalei Bay, in Hawaii.

Ocean Beach resident Barbara Schmidtknecht and her sister in law Kareen Schmidtknecht take their Beacon along for a vacation in Cabo San Lucas. Barbara’s brother, Steve Schmidtknecht of Waukesha, Wis., took the photo from the trio’s balcony with the Arch in the background.

Ocean Beach residents Bob and Regina Morin take their Beacon for a visit to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state recently with their daughter, Lisa Carcia, and Lisa’s husband, David. The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, west of Sequim on Highway 101, lies on the Pacific Flyway, a migration route for thousands of birds. At the tip of the refuge's long natural sand spit is a historic lighthouse that was built in 1872. All so appropriate for the Beacon!

Ocean Beach resident Steven Dickinson takes his Beacon to Derry, N.H. while visiting his sister. Dickinson is standing in front of legendary poet Robert Frost’s home. “It was so good to visit during the fall and see the trees changing color,” said Dickinson.

Beth O'Connor of Ocean Beach took her favorite hometown newspaper to visit her daughters recently. The shot was taken at the pier in downtown St. Petersburg, Fla.

The first half of the 2013 commercial realestate transactions and results for apartments and office/retail buildings are in.

total of eight sold transactions in the 92106 and 92107 ZIPs. There are currently only four office/retail buildings for sale in the 92106 and 92107 ZIPs. For both apartments and office/retail buildings, the low CAP rates, high prices and low velocity of transactions are clear indicators that we are in a seller’s market, meaning there is a low supply of apartments and office/retail buildings listed for sale and there are a lot of buyers looking to invest. If you’re considering selling your commercial real estate in a favorable market by the end of 2013, contact your local broker and get started with a free opinion of value. — Tony Franco is a coastal commercial realestate expert.

SDCNG gives readers a new way to get news, deals San Diego Community Newspaper Group is joining Club Lemeno Text Message Marketing. Textspeak for “Let Me Know,” this is a clever new way for the newspaper to get people important news and deals via their emails. Here’s how it works. “People can scan the QR code or put in a number to opt in to this free service,” said Julie Hoisington, San Diego Community Newspaper Group publisher. “They will receive text messages informing them on hardhitting local news or killer deals from local advertisers.” Hoisington said those opting into Club Lemeno won’t be inundated by unwanted alerts. “This is a way for people to choose to be notified via text. There is an easy opt-out system if ever someone does not want to continue to receive these alerts.” Hoisington added there’s no risk of their text messages being used for any other programs. “Our goal is to add value to our existing advertisers as another way to get their message out to locals, as well as providing important news alerts as they are happening,” she said. Creator Dave Ish said Club Lemeno is for “small- to medium-size businesses to reach out to their customers. In the case of newspapers, it’s going to allow them to really get news in the hands of readers when it’s happening with a link to their website.” This service is free to join, and you can opt out at any time. To try it out, scan the QR code on the front of the paper or text BCN to 1-858-7369922. For more information, visit www.clublemeno.com.
