Possible list of beach-area cuts looms larger Residents stage rally to support OB Library BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON

Picket signs of protest bounced high above the heads of neighbors who staged a rally in Ocean Beach on Saturday, Nov, 15. An estimated 150 to 200 people, concerned about the possible shuttering of Ocean Beach Library on Santa Monica Avenue, stepped up to voice opposition to the proposed library cuts.

The City Council was again poised to address the city’s estimated $43 million budget deficit Wednesday during a special council session in the wake of what city budget analysts are calling a period of “cyclical economic decline.” Results of the session were not available at press time. As city officials try to wrap their collective heads around the city’s multi-million-dollar shortfall, beach communities face reductions such as the shuttering of libraries, rotating fire and rescue companies and reorganization of lifeguard positions to stave off cuts to “core” lifesaving ser-

vices. Two of the seven branch libraries on the chopping block — Ocean Beach Library and University Community Library in University City — had been slated for improvements in recent years. Now they’re on a different list. But other services are also at stake, according to budget experts. Fire and Rescue Department officials said Fire Station 21 in Pacific Beach could share fire companies with other stations on a rotating basis to save about $3.2 million, but such a move would SEE CUTS, Page 7

Local joins renewed Peace Corps campaign in Liberia BY MICHELLE HACKNEY | THE BEACON

Ocean Beach resident Mary Ellen Seaver is part of the first group of Peace Corps volunteers to return to war-ravaged Liberia for the first time since fighting erupted nearly two decades ago. She and the Peace Corps are united in their goal to help rebuild the West African nation’s shattered education system. The return of the Peace Corps, which pulled out shortly after rebels invaded the country in late 1989, is a supposed sign of confidence in President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a Harvard-educated

The ceremony was held at the Liberian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was also attended by U.S. ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Peace Corps Liberia country director Lucianne Phillips, Liberian Education Minster Joseph Korto, Liberian Health Minister Walter Gweningale and World Food Program representative Louis Imbleau. After an absence of nearly two

decades, experienced volunteers like Seaver, 54, will be serving in Liberia through a program called Peace Corps Response, a unique program that mobilizes returned Peace Corps volunteers for short-term humanitarian service assignments worldwide. The volunteers bring a variety of professional expertise and experience to their service. The 12 Peace Corps Response volunteers arrived in Liberia on Oct. 26. The volunteers, aged 24 to 68, will be assigned to rural teacher training institutes, where they

Man found guilty in pro surfer’s beating death BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON

A jury — which on Monday told a judge it was deadlocked 11-1 in the murder case against Seth Cravens — overcame its impasse overnight and convicted him Tuesday of second-degree murder in the death of professional surfer Emery Kauanui Jr., of La Jolla. The jury also convicted Cravens, 22, of La Jolla, of three felony assaults and two counts of making a criminal threat involving earlier instances in which people were punched in separate incidents. The jury acquitted him of three assault charges involving fights at parties. Cravens looked surprised at the verdict as San Diego Superior Court Judge John Einhorn read the verdicts on the jury’s sixth day of deliberations. He shook his head several times. Einhorn set sentencing for Jan. 12. Cravens faces 25 years to life in prison for the murder and the assaults if they are sentenced consecutively, said District Attorney spokesman Paul Levikow. Cravens’ attorney, Mary Ellen Attridge, said she will appeal the verdict but left the courtroom quickly afterward without comment. “These verdicts send a strong message to the community that brutality will not be tolerated,” said Deputy District Attorney Sophia Roach afterwards. “They will never replace the life that has been taken. Emery Kauanui’s family will live with this sadness forever,” she said. Jurors quickly left, and how the one holdout juror changed his or her mind was not answered by the nine-man, three-woman jury. The jury foreman read a statement, but would not go beyond the statement. “We, the members of the jury, are proud of the job we did. We spent six intense days deliberating

and we were able to reach a unanimous [verdict] on all counts. Thank you,” said the foreman, who was identified only as Juror No. 11. Jurors struggled with the case and sent out 10 notes during their deliberations. The content of the notes was not revealed, but they did ask for testimony of four witnesses read back to them. Einhorn declined to release the names of the witnesses read back. On Monday, Einhorn seemed poised to declare a mistrial when most of the jurors told him that further deliberations would not end the 11-1 split. Jurors said they had taken four votes on the murder charge. When he asked if the jurors needed anything to help them reach a verdict, one juror said a dictionary would help. Two other jurors said more discussions might lead them to a verdict, so he ordered them back into deliberations. Cravens shook his head as the jurors were led out of the courtroom. Sheriff’s deputies placed a security chain across his chest and handcuffed him as he was led out of the courtroom. Attridge had urged jurors to acquit Cravens, saying the May 24, 2007, fight outside the victim’s home had elements of selfdefense. Attridge claimed Kauanui was the aggressor and once came within five inches of Cravens’ face before he was punched in the head by Cravens. Kauanui’s skull was fractured when his head hit the pavement. He died four days later in the hospital of blunt-force trauma and brain injuries. His mother heard the verdict, but left the courtroom without comment. Cravens did not testify, but codefendants Matthew Yanke, 22, and Henri “Hank” Hendricks, 22, did.

Man gets 15 to life in drunken-driving murder case BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON

An intoxicated motorist who was on parole for his fifth drunkendriving conviction was sentenced Nov. 12 to 15 years to life in prison for the death of a grandmother whose family was driving to Sunset Cliffs on Interstate 8 to watch the sunset. John Joseph Taskey, 47, said nothing before San Diego Superior Court Judge David Danielsen gave him the maximum term for second-degree murder in the Sept. 13, 2007 death of Rosa Degerman, 76. Deputy District Attorney David Grapilon said Taskey was convicted four times of drunken driving and had received probation for

each case before being sentenced to prison for his fifth conviction in 2006. His blood/alcohol level was 0.10 percent the evening of Sept. 13 when he was arrested near the exits of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and West Mission Bay Drive. The legal limit for felony drunk driving is 0.08 percent. “I doubt that Mr. Taskey can understand what pain he has cost us. Nothing can replace her,” said Gregoria Vigil, Degerman’s daughter. “I hope his sentence is as long as possible so other families (won’t have to suffer losses).” Danielsen gave Taskey credit for already serving 426 days in jail since his arrest.

Grapilon said Taskey, of La Mesa, was previously convicted of three felony and two misdemeanor charges of drunken driving. Taskey pleaded guilty Oct. 14 to the most recent second-degree murder. In return, charges of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and two counts of drunk driving with injuries were dismissed. Degerman was riding with her son in a Ford Focus about 6:30 p.m. the night of the accident. Taskey’s adult son received a mild concussion and Degerman’s 11year-old granddaughter suffered a fractured shoulder. Taskey was also injured.

We’re proud to continue the American legacy of providing education volunteers to Liberia and to be able to contribute to the country’s development efforts.” Previous to her visit to Liberia, Seaver spent two years as a Peace

Corps volunteer in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa, from 1976 to 1978. “My Peace Corps experience 30 years ago resonated deeply with me and I always planned to return to Africa,” said Seaver. “I always knew I would know when the time was right and now the time is right.” She will train elementary school teachers at Liberia’s Rural Teacher Training Institute and is a graduate of Emmanuel College in Boston, where she earned a degree in French. Immediately following completion of her first Peace Corps assignment, Seaver attended the

University of Illinois at Urbana and received an M.A. in international education and a Ph.D. in educational policy studies. She has spent the majority of her career in education and has taken a leave of absence from her current role as a resource teacher at Hilltop Middle School in Chula Vista. Seaver joins 911 California residents currently serving in the Peace Corps. More than 26,000 California residents have served in the Peace Corps since 1961, the highest number from any state. President John F. Kennedy founded the Peace Corps in 1961, challenging college stu-

dents to serve their country in the cause of peace. Since then, the Peace Corps has sent more than 190,000 volunteers to 139 countries around the world to help people in developing nations and to serve as goodwill ambassadors for America. Applications to serve in the Peace Corps have increased 16 percent this past year, the largest boost in the last five years. Peace Corps volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age. Peace Corps service is a 27-month commitment. For more information, visit www.peacecorps.gov.

Take care of eyes during Diabetes Month BY HENRY FERREYRA

iabetes is a metabolic disease resulting in abnormally high blood glucose levels. It is estimated to affect nearly 24 million people in the United States, of which almost 6 million people are undiagnosed. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 1.6 million people are diagnosed with diabetes in the United States each year, and the number of people with diabetes is predicted to increase since there are an estimated 57 million people with pre-diabetes. Diabetes is classified as Type 1, Type 2, gestational and prediabetes. Type 1 occurs when the body is unable to make insulin, a hormone that allows cells in the body to uptake glucose from the blood for energy. Type 2 results when the body becomes less sensitive to insulin and is also called insulin resistance. Gestational diabetes, which happens when the body is unable to make and use insulin during a pregnancy, affects 4 percent of pregnant women. Regardless of the type, diabetes results in abnormally high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). Over time, hyperglycemia damages small blood vessels throughout the body. Diabetes can cause kidney failure, nerve damage, retinopathy (damage to the retina), and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Since diabetes can affect so many different organ systems, diabetic patients need a team of doctors working together to provide healthcare from head to toe. One important member of the team is the ophthalmologist. Ophthalmologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosis and treatment of eye disease, like the ocular complications of diabetes. Poorly controlled diabetes leads to chronic elevated blood glucose levels that damage the blood vessels of the retina and cause damage to the retina, a condition called diabetic retinopathy. Both patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are at risk for developing diabetic retinopathy. After five years, 25 percent of Type 1 patients have diabetic retinopathy, and after 15 years, 80 percent have retinopathy. For Type 2 patients, approximately 30 percent have retinopathy at the time of diagnosis, and the rates increase to over 80 percent for

Type 2 patients taking insulin at 20 years. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness if untreated. It is estimated to affect 4 million Americans and is the leading cause of blindness in workingage adults. Fortunately, the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy can be slowed with long-term tight blood glucose control, but regular eye examinations are still needed to diagnose and treat vision-threatening complications of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy can be associated with macular edema (swelling of the central retinal area), and is the leading cause of vision loss in diabetics. The standard treatment for diabetic macular edema is focal laser treatment, but newer approaches involve injecting a medicine into the eye. Advanced diabetic retinopathy, called proliferative diabetic retinopathy, results in neovascularization (growth of abnormal blood vessels and fibrous tissue). The standard treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a laser procedure called panretinal photocoagulation; however, newer treatments also incorporate injections into the eye. Neovascularization can lead to severe vision loss by filling the eye with blood or causing a detachment of the retina and may necessitate an eye surgery called a vitrectomy. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends at least one annual dilated eye examination for diabetic patients (at the time of diagnosis for Type 2, and three to five years after diagnosis for Type 1), and more frequent examinations depending on the severity of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy can be a devastating disease, but regular eye examinations can detect ocular complications and provide an opportunity to treat them. As is the case with most medical conditions, the earlier this disease is diagnosed, the better the outcome. This November, if someone you love has diabetes, make sure they see an ophthalmologist to protect your eyes. — Henry Ferreyra, M.D., is an assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, San Diego Shiley Eye Center who specializes in diseases and surgery of the retina. ■

Abhorred by treatment of local animals I just went for my daily walk, and I once again was overwhelmed with sadness at the number of lost pet signs posted in Ocean Beach and Point Loma. I brought a lost puppy, several blocks away and on the wrong side of the street, home to its owner today as well. I asked a woman about her dog, on a rope in an unfenced yard, left to amuse himself day after day. She yelled at me to go ahead and call Animal Control. No laws were being broken. Apparently, this was not the first time someone had said something. This is a community that retains bragging rights for its love of animals, but I consistently encounter dogs tethered in backyards, with only a few feet to move around, lonely and neglected. I see signs for lost cats everyday. It breaks my heart, not only for the owners but for the pets as well. I have a few suggestions. If you lose or find a pet, please run an ad in the paper.

Please do not lose your enthusiasm and the will to fight for what you believe in. I am disappointed by my generation. Just because we have had our time on the beach is no reason to deny that freedom to the younger people. Being like L.A. is not a good thing — I have always thought that we were more civil than that huge metropolis and could work together through our problems. Too bad it looks like I am in the minority. Arne Lillehamer Pacific Beach

YOUR VIEWS POLICY

No on D crowd fought the good fight The picture in the Union-Tribune the day of the elections pretty much sums up Proposition D, with the Pro D gentlemen downtown looking like the last time they walked on sand was after a golf ball and the No D gentlemen in casual clothes at a beach establishment. This is another case of age and treachery triumphing over youth and enthusiasm. I would like to commend the No on D people for a battle well fought. They took on a backdoor politician, the Union-Tribune, Republican Party fat-cats and civil servant unions and almost pulled it off. And it looks like they even cleaned up the signs.

If you have lost a pet due to a move, if feasible, go back to your former residence and look for your animal. Ask your former neighbors to keep a lookout. Keep trying to find your pet. Look for cats at night, when it is quiet. Bring a food canister and shake it. Cats can and will hide for weeks before coming out during the day. Just a few suggestions. I would like to see OB and Point Loma earn their bragging rights back, but right now, I cannot say we are a very animal-friendly community.

Is the Junior Lifeguard part of our core mission of saving people and keeping people safe on the beach? No,” Luque said. The city’s independent budget analyst (IBA) recommended in a report released Nov. 17 that the city raise the Junior Lifeguard fee of $400 per student to pay for staffing. The IBA offered an across-theboard user fee to help solve this

year’s budget shortfall. The city’s deficit could balloon another $44 million in 2010 and again by $68 million the year after that, the IBA report states. The IBA also wants the city put off the proposed library and recreation center cuts until a “comprehensive plan” comes before the City Council by February. It states that changes to fire department recruitment and schedule rotation should be temporary solutions, as originally proposed by the city’s administration. The IBA report calls out the

8 Albion girls undefeated in Presidio Soccer League THURSDAY

NOVEMBER 20, 2008

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY JOHN ZLATIC | SPECIAL TO HE BEACON

The Albion Girls-U14 Premier soccer team capped an undefeated season in the Presidio League Nov. 8 with a 3-0 shutout of San Diego Surf Blue. Albion dominated its seven opponents in San Diego’s top league, racking up 11 wins, no losses and 3 ties. The girls on the Albion team are primarily from La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach and Point Loma. The Premier GU14 team, based at Robb Field in Ocean Beach, scored 27 goals while giving up only 3. The team’s stellar defense recorded shutouts in 11 of 14 games and in no game allowed more than one goal. “We are so proud of these hardworking, close-knit girls,” said team manager Lisa Laube. “Most of these girls have been together for several seasons and it’s been rewarding to watch them get better each year. Going undefeated against the county’s top teams is a testament to hard work, team-

work and great coaching.” Coach Eric “Chai” Chaisongkram inherited the nationally-ranked team this season from Coach Beto Vilella, who nurtured the girls in the club’s Brazilian, technical-precisionstyle game the previous three seasons. “The expectations were high for these girls this season,” Chaisongkram said. “We are all pleased, very pleased, with their progress so far and we look forward to seeing how far they choose to expand on this success.” The team’s 2008 tournament highlights include first place in the Albion Cup National Showcase, finalist in Arizona’s Sereno Soccer Classic, quarterfinalist in the Blues Cup and tournament wins against an Arizona state champion and Nevada state finalist team. “This team has been recognized by myself and the soccer community as one of the top teams in the Southern California area,” said Albion club director Noah Gins. “To go undefeated in Premier is a great accomplishment, showing the

The best band names give an indication of a band’s sound. However, for a growing group of artists, monikers that add a dash of mystery to their image have become popular, despite their curious nature. Such is the case with Wasilla, Alaska’s Portugal the Man, who performs at Soma today, Nov. 20. Fondly looking back at the mid1970s era of the rock superstar, the quartet decided on a name that had a bit of grandeur. “We wanted something for people to reference that really stood out, like Bowie or Elton,” said the band’s guitarist, John Baldwin Gourley. “Namewise, we were looking back at an incredible era of music and talent that will never come around again. But, we also really liked the idea of a name that was almost an alter ego for us. Naming ourselves after a country was as far as we could take it,” he said. After five albums and continual touring, the band’s logo has become more established, but band members occasionally find themselves branded a progressive rock group like Genesis or ELP. “I think that’s hilarious,” said Gourley. “We’re just a rock ’n’ roll band. But, we’re lucky enough to be able to jump around stylistically.” For him, changes in the group’s sound are key to the band’s success. “Our crowds are very diverse. You really notice it at festival

dates,” Gourley said. “We seem to draw everything from kids to grandparents 65 years old. I think that stems from the fact that we very consciously set out to make a different album each time we go into the studio. We try not to get tied down to any one genre, but basically we’re a rock band,” he said. Currently touring behind their album “Censored Colors,” the group is already working on its next CD, with pre-production set for December. “These days you have to move pretty quickly to stay in the public eye,” Gourley said. The band tours year-round and has attracted a growing audience in Europe. As enjoyable as stateside shows are, Gourley concedes that overseas crowds have an edge, “because in a lot of ways the music scene isn’t as controlled by major labels. Our band is just one example. We’re not a large part of the music industry, but we still get amazing press and are treated as if we’re much bigger than we probably are,” he said. Though Portugal the Man are regular world travelers, they share the same complaint as most touring musicians — though they are in exotic locales, they rarely get to see much beyond their hotel and club site. “That is a little disappointing sometimes,” said Gourley. “We’re usually so busy that there is little time to take in much more than a quick nap before we go onstage,” Gourley said. One notable exception is San

Diego. Having performed in the area numerous times, the group has struck up a friendship with local rockers Dirty Sweet. “We’ve been invited to guitarist Mark Marino’s place near the ocean a few times,” Gourley said. “So sitting on the beach and grabbing a burrito at Los Dos is something we look forward to.” The hospitality was returned with an invitation for Marino to perform on the track “Out and In” on their latest album. “It’s the only guitar solo heard on the record,” Gourley said. For Gourley, world travel is secondary to interacting with new friends. “That’s what I like the most about being part of Portugal the Man,” said Gourley. “We get to meet some great people on the road and we play some music here and there.” Portugal the Man performs at Soma, 3350 Sports Arena Blvd., today, Nov. 20.

Ambergris Caye, Belize Back to Nature, Back in Time Text and photos by Ron Stern

As I stepped off the plane in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize, I knew that this is the sort of island that Tom Hanks wished he was stranded on. Life in this lush, tropical paradise moves at a slower pace. In place of automobiles, there are golf carts. Jungles of concrete are replaced by coconut trees, and instead of smogfilled skies, your view is of the emerald-green Caribbean Sea and multi-hued crimson sunsets. Unfortunately, this relatively small country is still a mystery to many Americans who don’t know much about it. With a population of 300,000, Belize is nestled in Central America between Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.

After arriving at Belize International Airport in Belize City, I hopped aboard a short puddle jumper flight via Tropic Air en route to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. The flight was quite spec-

After landing, a friendly English speaking man snapped up my bags and loaded them onto a golf cart — the main mode of transportation here. In fact, watching these little transport vehicles darting in and out of streets reminded me of somebody pouring water on an anthill. I settled in for what I thought might be a long ride but after about 100 yards we quickly pulled into Ramon’s Village Resort. “Welcome to Ramon’s!” said my driver with a big smile.

If there is such as thing as being hooked on frozen custard, then I am guilty as charged. Chocolate, coconut and mango sorbet are all on my must have list and I am already plotting how to get back for another fix.
