Revamp of historic Luce Auditorium as arts center gets axe BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

Iconic lighthouse remains key piece of Point Loma history and fascination

The NTC Foundation has abandoned plans to convert the historic Luce Auditorium in Liberty Station — formerly the Naval Training Center in Point Loma — into a performing arts and cinema center, saying the longdormant facility would be too expensive for it to remodel and maintain. “Financially, it didn’t pencil out,” said Alan Ziter, executive director of the NTC Foundation, which has been renovating the former 500-acre naval base. The site now includes a 28-acre arts and culture district. “We were on a mission to try and create something — but we didn’t want to create a

white elephant.” Notification of the NTC board’s final decision on converting Luce Auditorium was sent to auditorium stockholders in an Oct. 29 letter from Ziter. “Overall, the physical concept of creating a three-venue performing arts and cinema center in the current large 1,800-seat venue is physically feasible,” said Ziter’s letter. “However, with regards to the annual cost to run the venue, what we learned is opening the theater would require a significant amount of annual contributed income each year to operate the facility, SEE LUCE, Page 6

The Old Lighthouse on top of Point Loma was opened Nov 15, 1855 after a grant was awarded by the state of California. Only on special occasions, like Nov. 15 this year, are visitors allowed to navigate the gorgeous, handcrafted, narrow spiral staircase (which resembles a conch shell), bottom left, and climb to the top of the breathtaking lighthouse for a view that few visitors rarely get to witness. At center, a couple witnessed not sailing ships, but the majestic 1,092-foot-long USS Ronald Reagan Nimitz-class nuclear-powered supercarrier entering San Diego Bay. In 1981, largely because of heavy fog visibility issues that rendered it nearly useless from atop Point Loma, a new lighthouse was built at bottom of the point, right, which has proven much more effective to ships navigating the ocean into and out of San Diego Bay. Docents cherish the volunteer work they do at the Old Llighthouse — one of the most photographed lighthouses in the United States. The newer lighthouse is now home to a host of high-ranking military officers who vigilantly Photos by Jim Grant I The Beacon keep watch over the San Diego coast and bayline.

Results still unofficial, but Faulconer, Alvarez will clash in mayoral runoff BY KEVIN MCKAY AND DAVE SCHWAB THE BEACON

Although results have yet to be certified, the 2013 political showdown for mayor of San Diego reached a crescendo Nov. 19, setting up a runoff election sometime in February between District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer (R) and District 8 City Councilman David Alvarez (D). According to semi-official results from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters Office — with 100 percent of the precincts counted and all mail-in and provisional ballots accounted for — Faulconer was the runaway leader, col-

lecting 42 percent of the ballots (101,944 votes), followed by Alvarez with 27 percent (65,722 votes). Democrat Nathan KEVIN FAULCONER ✓42 percent Fletcher, trailed Alvarez with 24 percent (58,346 votes). However, on Nov. 20, Fletcher conceded and lent his endorsement to Alvarez in the runoff election. DAVID ALVAREZ Former City Attorney ✓27 percent Mike Aguirre did not fare well in his bid for mayor, collecting a little more than 4 percent of the vote

(10,784 votes). Voter turnout for the election was estimated between 30-35 percent. Thanking his major opponents Fletcher, Aguirre and Alvarez for “sacrificing their time to make San Diego better,” Faulconer said he began his campaign with a simple promise, “That together, we will restore trust and integrity to City Hall. Now more than ever, San Diegans need a leader with a vision for this city — and the experience to make it happen; a leader San Diegans can trust — trust to lead with principles not partisanship; trust to put your city first,” Faulconer SEE ELECTION, Page 3

SDUSD’s options for PLHS master plan could bring major changes BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Point Loma High School’s landmark Lee Trepanier gymnasium and cafeteria would someday meet the wrecking ball as part of a 20-year master plan that is nearing completion under the auspices of the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). The venerable gym and cafeteria, which were found by architects to be antiquated and in need of significant upgrades should, as the result of current input from community members, be demolished. In its place would be a multi-story

parking garage and student drop-off area with an entrance from Chatsworth Boulevard. This and a second parking structure would be designed to alleviate neighborhood parking and traffic problems, as well as help bring the site nearer to district standards. A new gym, coaches’ offices, boys’ locker rooms and cafeteria would then be constructed atop the parking structure on an elevation consistent with the rest of the space-challenged 88-year-old campus.

PCPB planners tackle controversial subdivision, community plan update BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Peninsula planners agreed to continue talks with the owner of a subdivision project they originally opposed, as well as weighing in on aspects of a draft environmental impact report (EIR) and community plan update for Ocean Beach which could impinge on them. Those were the highlights of Peninsula Community Planning Board’s (PCPB’s) Nov. 21 meeting, during which group members also discussed ideas for raising funds to fill a depleted treasury. Mark Peeling, developer of a project to subdivide an existing acre site into five new lots with construction of three new single-family homes at 3340 and 3328 Harbor View Drive, turned out to confront the group on its thumbs-down vote on his proposal. The PCPB voted unanimously in October to file an appeal of a recent city Plan-

ning Commission approval permitting the Peeling property. “My understanding is Mr. Peeling would consider redesigning the project,” said group chairwoman Julia Quinn, who said the item was docketed for the board “to make a determination” on whether to revisit its vote in favor of appealing the project to the city Planning Commission. Peeling protested he was not allowed to have his say prior to the group’s taking a position against his project. “I would like to have this group either affirm or rescind its vote [appealing his project],” Peeling said. “It was a total knee-jerk reaction.” Peeling said his subdivision project is so far along in the planning review process that he doesn’t believe there is a reasonable path to redesigning it as a tworather than a three-home development. Peeling said it would be extremely

costly and time consuming to downsize the project now. “There’s also no guarantee that you would be in favor of a two-home project. Why would I even go that way? It really just comes down to people thinking they just don’t like the project,” said Peeling. Not everyone agreed. “We’ve asked him to come back with revisions and he’s chosen not to do that,” said PCPB board member Jarvis Ross. Board member Bruce Coons was of like mind. “We felt that the project was a little too dense for the neighborhood,” said Coons. Peeling answered that the homes nearby are of a comparable size to the ones he’s planning to build. “It’s a good project,” said Peeling. “I’ve met every single requirement. There are no variances.” Peeling said he doesn’t have a lot of

particulars fleshed out for the project and that the homes at this point are just “building envelopes and footprints.” “We do have time to develop (building) alternatives,” said board member Jay Shumaker. Coons offered a compromise. “If we were to make a motion to put it on the agenda for a vote next time, would you commit to going to a project review in the meantime?” Coons asked. “I personally would like to see more discussion before we reaffirm or rescind the vote.” Peeling agreed and the group’s reconsideration of his project has been rescheduled for a Dec. 10 project review prior to the group’s next meeting Dec. 19.

Colleague Mike Ryan gave a suggestion. “The idea would be to have a big fundraiser for spring with the idea of cleaning — spring cleaning, gift baskets for housecleaning, for car washes, for dental cleaning, for dycleaning, etc.,” he said. Ryan was directed to return to the group with an update on fundraising alternatives next month. • Board members Brittany Taylor and Nicole Burgess discussed a draft environmental impact report (EIR) and community plan update underway for Ocean Beach. Taylor said the draft documents suggest the only potential environmental impacts that could be mitigated would be on “transportation, circulation and IN OTHER ACTION parking.” Burgess submitted seven sug• Quinn said money is desperately gestions for making Ocean Beach’s comneeded in the group’s treasury to “pay munity plan more pedestrian and bike$500 annually for a webmaster.” friendly in the update.

North Bay planners revert to Midway name; take on outdated 22-year-old community plan BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The North Bay Community Planning Group (NBCPG) voted to revert to its former name in November, then began revising its community plan, the blueprint for commercial and residential development. “This group was historically called the Midway-Pacific Highway Planning Group [MPHPG], but that was changed a few years ago to the North Bay Community Planning Group,” said group chairwoman Melanie Nickel. “I’d like to resolve that and have the same name as our community plan.”

N PE O

The group vote to change its name back was unanimous. “Mishmash” was the word most frequently used at the community advisory group’s Nov. 20 meeting to describe the Midway-Pacific Highway Corridor community between Old Town and Point Loma that is comprised of the central Midway shopping area and the narrow, linear-shaped Pacific Highway Corridor. The community plan for the MidwayPacific Highway Corridor hasn’t been updated since 1991. The community plan’s purpose is to provide land-use designations and policies that will help guide

future development. In September, senior city planner Tait Galloway walked community planners through an overview of their planninggroup area, which has the sports arena (now the Viejas Valley View Casino Center) at its center, surrounded by commercial and light and heavy industrial-zone areas with a smattering of residential sections. The plan area is divided into subdistricts, including the sports arena, Kemper, Dutch Flats, Camino Del Rio, Channel, Lytton, Kurtz and Hancock SEE MIDWAY, Page 5

said on election night. “We took that message to the voters and guess what? You all agree.” Meanwhile, coming from single-digit support when the race kicked off to ending up with more than 25 percent of the vote on Nov. 19, Alvarez gained traction every day with a positive, grassroots campaign that focused on describing his vision for a San Diego for everyone and every neighborhood. “We started this campaign as an underdog, but we stuck to our values and talked about the issues that our neighbors, co-workers, friends and family care about — getting to the finish line

with an amazing amount of momentum,” Alvarez said. Faulconer said the runoff election for mayor early next year will present a clear choice. “Do we let our city fall back into the grip of the same government special interests who drove us to the brink of bankruptcy and took money away from our streets, parks, libraries and police officers?” he asked. “Or do we choose a new path that finally lifts these so instead of imagining a brighter future, we actually live it?” On Fletcher’s endorsement of him, Alvarez emphasized his and Fletcher’s shared vision for the future of the city. “I want to thank Nathan for his support,” Alvarez said. “He has been and continues to be someone who has put

community service above himself. We share a vision for the future of San Diego, where we invest in our neighborhoods, protect our environment and strengthen the middle class. I look forward to broadening the coalition of San Diegans who share that vision too.” Fletcher, a Qualcomm executive, reportedly will return to private life and give up politics. “[Alvarez] will make a great mayor,” he said when he conceded at Ellen Browning Scripps park in La Jolla. “I leave today with my head held high about the campaign we ran … I wanted to be the mayor and I really wanted to be the mayor that really led and advanced our city. We came up a little bit short.” Visit www.sdcounty.ca.gov/voters /results/election.xml.

QUICKHits Downpour sends officers to the rescue Heavy rain that flooded several streets in the Midway District on Nov. 21 led to a heroic rescue by San Diego police officers. Four U.S. Marines were in a taxi that was stuck in the water at Pacific Highway and Witherby Street shortly after 9:30 p.m. All the occupants of the cab were able to get out and walk to safety. Meanwhile, officers Rich Perkins and Dudley Ward found a van going under water. The 20-year-old male driver could not roll the electric windows down or open the door because of the water pressure against the door. The officers broke out the driver’s window and pulled the driver to safety as the van went under water. The driver and officers survived the incident.

Likely OB/Point Loma bank robber may get 7 years A bank robber faces seven years in prison after he pleaded guilty Nov. 22 to robbing three banks in Ocean Beach, Point Loma and Clairemont. Douglas Michael Ellens, 39, pleaded

guilty to all charges before San Diego Superior Court Judge Leo Valentine, Jr., who set sentencing for Jan. 24. A court document said Valentine will consider all options, including probation or prison. Ellens was arrested Sept. 13 in a Midway-area motel room, where some of the stolen money was found. A GPS tracking device was placed with the money at the third bank he robbed, which led police to the motel. The first bank robbery was at a U.S. Bank branch in Clairemont on Sept. 5. The last two happened Sept. 12 about an hour apart. He robbed the U.S. Bank branch at 4827 Newport Ave. shortly before 3:30 p.m. and then held up the Comerica Bank at 3361 Rosecrans St. The tellers who were robbed testified against him in Oct. 22 during in a preliminary hearing and he was ordered to stand trial. He used demand notes and wore either a baseball cap or a tan hat. No one was hurt in any of the holdups. Ellens remains custody on $100,000 bail. — Neal Putnam

This time around, Galloway was back with a working draft of the community plan update, looking for community input. “I want to see more emphasis on the urban design,” said group vice chairman Kurt Sullivan. “We need more pictures, more graphics, more figures in order to see if we’re heading in the right direction before we invest money in resources [hiring consultants, etc.].” Jarvis Ross, a community planner with the neighboring Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB), reminded Midway planners that “they are not an island.” “You’re adjacent to other communities and what you do, like if you were to tear down the sports arena, that would impact those communities,” Ross said. “There’s not a lot of access into the Peninsula area.” Ross said PCPB is supportive of main-

taining long-range planning for the sports arena, pointing out there’s been talk of tearing it down. Nickel said the planning group previously discussed design language in its community plan, which she said she would like to see included in the plan update. “I’d also like to see a master plan done of the whole sports arena parcel as a unit,” Nickel said. “It would be nice to have the flexibility of a master plan.” Board member Cathy Kenton agreed. “We have a forward-looking document [community plan] and I think it would be worth figuring out what the urban design should be,” Kenton said. “It’s pretty vague,” said Nickel of the design element in the existing community plan. Kenton said she felt the Midway-Pacific Highway Corridor Community Plan Update ought to be looked at as a big picture, adding “the next 20 years is the life of this plan.” Galloway said the community plan isn’t focused on urban design. “It doesn’t get into architectural

PLHS stadium-lighting EIR CHANGES still not available to the public CONTINUED FROM Page 1

BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Just hours before a long-scheduled meeting was to begin Nov. 20 at Point Loma High School, an email was sent out to community members saying an eagerly awaited environmental impact report (EIR) on the controversial planned permanent stadium lighting at the school would not be released and discussed as had previously been announced during previous community meetings. The Nov. 20 meeting, the fourth in a series designed to draft a 20-year master plan for the aging and spaceimpacted campus, had been touted by speakers at previous meetings as the date the report would be ready. However, after the date was published in an Oct. 31 story in The Peninsula Beacon, a member of the San Diego Unified School District’s Communications Department contacted this Beacon writer for a correction in the paper. “We never intended to release the EIR at that [Nov. 20] meeting,” she said. When informed that the reporter’s notes specifically contained statements by presenters at the meetings stating the EIR’s release at the Nov. 20 meeting, the SDUSD official said, “I’ll have to tackle this from a different angle.” PLHS school officials said the EIR is not yet completed. Once a draft EIR is completed, a notice of completion (NOC) must be filed and the public notified concurrently. Full information must be provided to the public, including the location of review copies and information on the public review period of 45 days minimum. The notice must include the location of any public meetings intended to solicit comments on the draft EIR. A final EIR must then be prepared before an agency may adopt it. The agency may then certify the final EIR

on top of the $15 million needed to renovate the building.” Ziter said the financial “realities” of updating Luce have led the NTC Foundation board to determine that rehabilitating the facility for use as a dance and theater center is “not an option,” adding the foundation is “pursuing other options that will assure that the building stays true to its original use and adds value to both Liberty Station and the Point Loma community.” The Luce Auditorium is a one-story rectangular structure designed in 1941 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with Art Deco influences. It was a classroom where thousands of Navy recruits saw training films and served as a venue for weekend movies and the site where wartime luminaries like Bob Hope did radio broadcasts and Nat “King” Cole performed. The auditorium is named in honor of Stephen Bleeker Luce, a Navy midshipman in 1841, who served three tours of duty. Luce was best remembered for establishing the Naval War College, the first of its kind in the world. He died at age 90 on the bridge of a ship in the thick of battle in World War I.

and issue its findings. In another development, a meeting was held earlier on Nov. 20 attended by a group estimated at 14-16 people, including PLHS officials and persons on both sides of the stadium lighting proposal to develop a consensus on the project and a facility-use policy for potential renters of the stadium. Matt Spathas, the parent of recent Pointer graduates, is chairing the panel. PLHS athletic director John Murphy noted the school district is proposing a limit on major lighted events to 19 events per year. These marquee events would be defined as those attracting more than 300 spectators. Murphy has said all 19 events would be divided between boys’ and girls’ events at the school with no outside parties able to rent the facility for evening gatherings. “All parties left the meeting feeling good,” said PLHS principal Hans Becker. “There was clear communication. We want to be good neighbors.”

Road north of Dewey Road in Liberty Station, the auditorium is 20,000 square feet. The facility, however, was not designed as an entertainment venue and lacks a lobby, has seating that is too deep and a stage that’s too small and too high, plus its acoustics are marginal and its restrooms are few and outdated. By comparision, Luce Auditorium, closed for 16 years, has about 200 fewer seats than the Copley Symphony Hall but about 400 more than the Spreckles or Balboa theaters. A 2008 feasibility study done by a Del Mar firm determined “the highest and best use for Building 35 (Luce) is as a performing arts center, auditorium, large exhibit space or other large assembly uses, such as lectures.” The idea NTC Foundation had been exploring for years was to create three theaters out of the existing Luce space with 250 to 450 seats for two of them. The remaining stage was to have been reconfigured as a black-box affair with a customizable seating plan. Mall-type walkways would have abutted the theaters to the sides with a main lobby that would have been in the middle of the floor. The loss of Luce as a prospective cinema site is a great loss to the San Diego community in general, and to theater enthusiasts in particular, said Andy Friedenberg, founder-director of the Cinema Society of San Diego, which is cel-

contracted with the SDUSD to develop the site plan and who has presided over three community meetings while notes were taken from suggestions by community members under sometimes contentious conditions. After each session, Thompson and his colleagues integrated the mostfavored audience suggestions into further-refined proposals to be examined at the next meeting. The Nov. 20 meeting drew about 30 community members, along with PLHS principal Hans Becker, SDUSD Police Sgt. Ivan Picazo, community relations officer David Surwilo of the San Diego Police Department’s Western Division and members of the district staff. The next and final meeting is set for Dec. 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the PLHS Media Center. The meetings and efforts to upgrade the PLHS campus are part of SDUSD’s efforts to provide quality schools in every neighborhood, using funds from Propositions S and Z, two bond measures passed by local voters. The district’s Facilities Planning and Construction Division is overseeing these efforts and has had staff members present at each session. One aspect of the campus revitalization is creation of a “campus identity,” something audience members have mentioned is presently lacking. Most often mentioned is a return to the site’s original Spanish architecture style with its archways and decorative details. Also universally acknowledged is the severe lack of space for the 1,940-student campus. One audience member used an illustration of “trying to put 10 pounds of flour into a five-pound sack.” In addition to the new parking structure, gym and cafeteria on the west side of campus, community members have suggested a second parking structure located along Clove Street, where the current staff parking lot is located. This structure would be two stories in height. However, it would stand only 1.5 stories above the street elevation after the ground floor was lowered by a

half-story. A main entrance from Chatsworth Boulevard with a quick descent to this parking structure is also envisioned. Several options for this structure were offered as architects noted the campus has a target parking capacity of 614 spaces. One design option offered included removing the current softball field with the parking structure’s second floor occupying the space. The softball field would be rebuilt atop the structure. This option would, with the other parking structure, offer 596 total campus spaces. Another option showed a parking structure covering the current staff parking lot and school entryway, leaving the softball field intact. This would yield 539 spaces. A third choice involved building the structure to cover the current staff parking lot only, for a total of 513 spaces. Vehicle access to the inner campus would remain under each of these plans to assure use by district and emergency vehicles. A band parent noted the musicians practice on the current softball field, which, if kept at its current elevation, is easily accessible from the music building, eliminating the need for a freight-size elevator to haul band equipment and instruments upward for rehearsals and practices on a higher field. A major feature of all proposed plans is creation of a “paseo,” or continuous and basically straight avenue for pedestrians across campus, eliminating the awkward placement of current buildings and pathways. As part of this effort, the current media center, a large, round structure, would be removed. Its second floor was found to have undersize classrooms, no handicapped access and a leaking roof, as well as no restrooms in the entire building. It would be replaced by a “signature building” of the same square footage, but differing shape that would contain administrative offices on the ground floor and a new media center above. Buildings that are in good condition or newer would remain. All buildings

along Chatsworth Boulevard would be connected via walkways on the second floor to facilitate student movement. Security fencing will be installed around the campus. While there would be several access points open for students before classes begin, they would be locked until dismissal. All visitors would be funneled through the Clove Street-side parking structure and directly into the administration offices for clearance by school staff. Also covered in presentations was use of green space, areas for students to relax and eat lunch, bicycle and skateboard storage, eco-friendly features and surveillance capabilities. Access for stadium events would eventually be closed on Voltaire Street. Instead, visitors would be directed to park in the parking structures and would have a leisurely, direct walk to the new ticket facility near the current scoreboard. As was the case during previous meetings, discussions became heated. One audience member criticized proposals for the parking structures because city traffic engineers have not been consulted about new vehicle-flow patterns. When the presence of police officers at the meeting was questioned, Picazo reminded the audience that at each previous meeting, traffic and crime questions were raised that were either under the school’s or city’s jurisdiction, requiring an officer from each purview to provide answers. Several elderly neighbors demanded to know why there were so many students allowed at a school with such limited space. Becker responded, “Where would you suggest they go?”T The questioners shouted “Stop busing them in!” After several such exchanges, one woman became enraged, jumping to her feet to confront an elderly resident whose comments she felt were anti-student. A heated exchange followed, prompting Surwilo to take the microphone in a peacemaking role. The session concluded with Thompson and his staff promising to bring further refined proposals to the Dec. 11 meeting.

We also lost on plans for Sherwood Auditorium in La Jolla to get a budget for gallery space.” Malashock said it was his “hope and dream” to move to Luce in Liberty Station. “It was not just having beautiful dance studio space,” he said. “It would have been creating a real performing arts center here. Giving dance studios a home, we’re sorry to lose that possibility. It’s a big disappointment.” As a consequence, Malashock said he’s “developing some relationships with other theaters that, hopefully, will be ongoing relationships.” Asked if there were any possibility the The exterior view of the historic Luce Auditorium at Liberty Station.

THURSDAY · NOVEMBER 28, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Pointers drop heartbreaker in Div. 1 playoff loss to El Camino BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda. Each of these words could describe one of Point Loma High’s frustrating shortcomings as it dropped its CIF playoff opener to host El Camino High 14-13 on Nov. 15 in Oceanside. Following a thrilling first-quarter pass interception and near-perfect 37-yard return by senior Dirk Lacy, the Pointers found themselves in business with a first down at the Wildcats’ two-yard line. Certainly, the Pointers could have scored with four downs to advance six feet. But a run up the middle, sweep and quarterback sack left the Dogs settling for a 30-yard Jaime Medina field goal that left them ahead 3-0 when it could have been 7-0. Soon after, the Pointers could have prevented an El Camino touchdown pass were it not for a breakdown in defensive coverage that left a Wildcat receiver unmarked and wide open. The 62-yard touchdown pass gave El Camino a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter. That lead lasted just 14 seconds, as Lacy took the ensuing kickoff and raced 89 yards up the right sideline on a beautiful touchdown run, giving the Pointers a 10-7 lead. The Pointers should have scored 1:52 before halftime on Armando Smith’s gutsy

15-yard run. But at the 3-yard line, Smith had jumped over several fallen players and was penalized for “hurdling,” a rarely called penalty. In National Football Federation Rule 94-2d, hurdling is defined as “an attempt by a player to jump (hurdle) with one or both feet or knees foremost over an opponent who is contacting the ground with no part of his body except one or both feet.” The defender(s) must be standing or in the process of falling since, as soon as a part of their body other than a foot makes contact with the ground, the penalty does not apply. Officials marched off 15 yards against the Pointers and, on the next play, El Camino intercepted a Point Loma pass in the end zone to end the drive. Two Pointer touchdowns failed and one El Camino touchdown was the result of a coverage error. That’s a 21-point swing in the first half of what ended as a one-point defeat. This game could have belonged to the Pointers, as El Camino helped out all night by giving them short fields with several poor punts, but the Dogs weren’t able to capitalize. Moving the ball on offense again proved a problem for the Pointers, one that hurt them in several other losses this season. On an early possession, the Pointers

began from the El Camino 30-yard line but could not convert a fourth-and-one situation from the 21-yard line. On El Camino's first possession of the second half, Smith stripped the ball from a Wildcat runner, but referees ruled the ball dead, saying forward progress had been stopped, prompting strong disagreement from Pointer coaches. Several plays later, the Wildcats struck for their second touchdown to take a 1410 lead with 4:24 left in the third quarter. In the third quarter, following a snap that sailed high over the Wildcat punter’s head, the Pointers took over on the El Camino 31. The Pointer drive stalled 12 yards later and Medina’s 37-yard field goal left the Pointers trailing 14-13 with 11:40 left in the game. With the Pointers driving to take the lead, though, they lost a fumble with 4:21 remaining. The game ended with the Wildcats taking a knee after the Pointers were penalized for roughing the kicker on a Wildcat punt with just 1:30 left and the Pointers out of timeouts. “This was a hard one to swallow,” said Pointer head coach Mike Hastings several days after the game. “I felt our kids really left their hearts and souls on that field. They gave it everything they had and we just ended up coming up short.”

The loss left the Pointers with a final record of 5-6, the first time since 2001 they have finished with a sub-.500 record, a fact Hastings was well aware of. “It was a great 12-year run,” he said. And several of those losses could have been Pointers victories against some of the county’s best teams. “Against Ramona (a 21-19 loss in game two), a couple of plays made the difference,” Hastings said. “Then against Mis-

sion Bay, we lost in the last minute (a 26-20 loss on a touchdown pass with four seconds left to play) and of course the El Camino game.” With a few breaks and plays, that 5-6 record could have been 8-3. “We still had a lot of good highlights,” Hastings said. “Our kids played hard and it really was a senior group that I was proud of in a lot of ways. They'll be missed.”

Lescault leads Sea Lions to adrenaline-pumping Homecoming hoops win over Olivet PLNU ATHLETICS COMMUNICATIONS DEPT.

Sea Lions win overtime thriller in Homecoming matchup Golden Gymnasium was rocking Nov. 23 as the Point Loma Nazarene Univer-

sity men’s basketball team thrilled the full-capacity, Homecoming crowd with a 94-86 overtime victory over Olivet Nazarene. PLNU (3-1) got 21 points apiece from Hayden Lescault and Marek Klassen to

lead four Sea Lions in double-figures. But it was Lescault that was the go-to guy down the stretch for Point Loma. He hit the crucial game-tying layup with just 0.6 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime. He then scored five of his 21 points in the extra time to lift the Sea Lions to the win. The junior from Folsom hit 6 of his 12 shots from the field and 8-of-10 at the line to score a season-high 21 points. He also added a career-high nine assists in the win. Lescault’s drive capped off a secondhalf comeback for PLNU, in which it trailed by as many as 10 points. The Sea Lions kept chipping away at the Tigers’ lead in the second half, as the crowd was ready to explode, but they could never take the lead. Point Loma finally tied the game at 81-81 with 2:39 remaining on AJ Ussery’s layup. ONU’s Austin Davis then answered with a jumper before Lescault hit his game-tying layup to force overtime. In the extra period, Point Loma turned up the defensive pressure and held Olivet to just 1-of-5 shooting after they had shot at 67 percent the rest of

the game. PLNU was no better from the field in the extra five minutes but went 9of-10 at the line to earn the hard fought victory. “I have no doubt in my mind it was our crowd in the second half helped us win this game,” said head coach Bill Carr. “The crowd kept us energized and it was able to get them out of rhythm a little bit.”

since 2011. The junior slammed down an impressive 23 kills and hit .489 out of her middle blocker position to lead all scorers. Heather Leavitt and Kelli LeClair would both add double-doubles in the victory. Leavitt had 17 kills to go along with 15 digs and LeClair had 12 kills and 14 digs. Savannah Wedemeyer dished out 63 assists for PLNU.

Women’s volleyball wins NCCA West Regional; heads to championships It might not have come as easy as the Sea Lions had hoped, but in the end, the results were more than satisfactory; the Point Loma volleyball team became the 2013 National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) West Region Champions. PLNU (24-7, 16-4 PacWest) edged Azusa Pacific in five sets on Nov. 22: 2518, 25-17, 24-26, 19-25 and 15-9 to take the season series from their longtime rival. Point Loma will now advance to the NCCAA National Championships on Dec. 5-7 in Kissimmee, Fla. Alyssa Dwyer would not let the Sea Lions be denied the opportunity to advance to the postseason for the first time

Sea Lions upset APU for NCCAA Regional title Point Loma is headed to the nationals after upsetting top-seeded Azusa Pacific 2-0 on the road in the NCCAA Women’s Soccer West Regional Championship under the lights on Nov. 20. Freshman Dottie Rhoten put the Sea Lions (11-7-1) on the board early, scoring her team-leading seventh goal of the season in the eighth minute. Then, senior Leah Porter sealed the game in the 87th minute to send the PLNU to the NCCAA National Championships. It was PLNU’s second victory over APU (12-3-1) in less than two weeks. On Nov. 9, the Sea Lions took down the Cougars 2-0 at home in each squad’s final regular-season match.

The Ocean Beach Farmers Market is a beloved local institution, giving area residents a chance to buy great food. And thanks to local musician and promoter Michael Head, there is also wonderful entertainment. Held every Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m., Head features the best in Southern California talent at the corner of Newport Avenue and Bacon Street — an intersection becoming a makeshift stage. While always a lot of fun, during the holiday season, the weekly happening becomes extra special, with themed music and events. Perhaps more importantly, the music location is also a spot to drop off holiday toys or canned food to help those less fortunate during this time of year.

“This year, I am doing a Holiday Concert Series,” said Head. “Basically, it is a series of concerts with top local San Diego talent performing while collecting funds, toys and food for needy OB families. It is always a diverse and entertaining event for an amazing cause.” He said that with Christmas and New Year’s Eve falling on Wednesdays this year, there is less time to get things together. “Since there is understandably no farmers market those days, I’ve tried to condense an amazing schedule into four tight musical shows.” Head said there is a big need for food and toy donations. “We begin collecting this week,” he said. “We really can use all the help we can get through donations. There are so many people out there that are hurting.

I’m just happy that we can help in our own small way through these events. From booking bands to setting up sound gear, he said he considers his part to be a labor of love. “Music is my life,” he said. “So this is all an extension of my time, making music both as a musician and producer.” He said there is a reward for all the hard work. “At this time of year, seeing a kid’s face light up from a gift or even a holiday song is really something,” he said. “Although, I think it’s safe to say that the music at the farmers market does bring smiles to Ocean Beach all year long.” The three-concert series kicks off Dec. 4 with Ocean Beach-based musicians Kris Wott and Head performing solo acoustic at 4 p.m., followed by one of the area’s hottest musicians — Al Howard — with his band, the Heavy Guilt, in a new stripped down “Guilt 2.0” lineup at 5:30pm. Meanwhile, Dec. 11 will be topped by a new local group, Sweet Dreams. “They are a talented duo, and then some,” said Head. “They feature sweet and angelic boy/girl harmonies and interesting lyrical themes. Even their gear is in theme and part of the show.” Finally, on Dec. 18 will be the annual Country Rockin’ Rebels Holiday Party and Show Extravaganza. “This is essentially the Ocean Beach band’s musical Christmas party with everyone in OB and beyond invited,” Head said. “We celebrate, we play, we give thanks and we party with our friends, which is basically all of OB.” Head said he is happiest to see the community come together to help those in need. “On the one hand, I see these gigs as a great showcase. You know, putting really good talent in front of an audience that might not normally see a particular artist. But on another level, this opportunity to help others through our music really is something special. We’re not just singing songs for our supper. We’re singing them so that others might be able to enjoy this holiday season more,” he said. • OB Farmers Market: Wednesdays, December 4, 11, 18, Newport Avenue and Bacon Street, 4 p.m. All ages. www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/events/farmers-market-wednesdays

THANKSGIVING FUN FACTS First Thanksgiving In the fall of 1621, at Plymouth Plantation, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Europeans, joined by a group of Wampanoag Indians, gathered together to thank God for the blessings of the first harvest in the New World. The Puritans who celebrated the first Thanksgiving were about half of those who arrived at Plymouth on the ship Mayflower, since the other half had died due to sicknesses and dangers in the New World. The exact dates of the first Thanksgiving celebration, which lasted 3 days, is unknown. Plymouth Governor William Bradford declared a thanksgiving celebration, in 1621, sometime after the harvest. The days could have been between the end of September to the beginning of November.

Thanksgiving dates Thanksgiving is an American and a Canadian holiday. Both countries celebrate Thanksgiving at the end of harvest: in Canada, it is the second Monday in October; in America, it is the fourth Thursday in November. The first national Thanksgiving Day was issued by George Washington in 1789. However, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln was the first President to set Thanksgiving Day to be the last Thursday of November. Before 1863, Thanksgiving Day varied from

CHRISTMAS IN OCEAN BEACH

Looking for that perfect gift? Look no further than OBMA Put this on Santa’s list – Ocean Beach-opoly! The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association has produced a communitythemed board game and Ocean Beach is making its mark this holiday season with its one-of-a-kind, limited edition board game called Ocean Beach-opoly. Ocean Beach-opoly has been locally designed to have the same eclectic beach-town feel and iconic landmarks in the community. The game will retail for $40 and can be purchased through the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) at its office and through its website, as well as at select merchants around town. The OBMA Promotion Committee developed the concept with a familyowned vendor to design and produce 1,000 games. Each detail of the board game reflects the fun-loving nature of the Ocean Beach community. Property spaces are local Ocean Beach businesses and landmarks; game pieces are symbols popular in the beach community — like a peace sign, palm tree and dog; and each penalty or reward card reflects an Ocean Beach business, location or event. “We were looking to make a hallmark gift for the upcoming holiday season that honored the uniqueness of

the community, as well as do something that hadn’t been seen around San Diego before,” said Denny Knox, OBMA’s executive director. “This is a fundraiser for the Ocean Beach community and will support our many programs around town. We think that the nostalgia of the board games will be a hit for visitors and community members this holiday season.” The game goes on sale Monday, Dec. 2, which is also Small Business Saturday. For more information about the game, game rules and details or other information, visit the OBMA website at www.Ocean-BeachSanDiego.com, or call (619) 224-4906.

THE PENINSULA BEACON

his time of year can be a boon for businesses, so it’s important to support your local merchants. Skip the hectic rush of the mall and stroll down the avenues of our own backyard for some unique finds that will have family and friends thrilled you thought of them this holiday season.

Shopping locally Find the most unique gifts

and craftswomen or obtained by local suppliers. Large chain stores need to buy in bulk at a discounted price so they can stock their multitude of stores across the country. Small mom-and-pop stores, on the other hand, require a smaller amount of goods. They tend to form relationships with local artisans and people skilled in various trades such as metal work, jewelry making, painting, sculpting and sewing. Merchants like Newport Avenue Antiques or the Ocean Beach Antique Mall bring one-of-a-kind gifts to the community that you won’t find anywhere else. Because these people work for themselves, rather than a large corporation, they can be very creative with their design ideas.

lthough shopping can be fun for many people, for other folks it’s the exact opposite. That is because of the stress associated with picking just the right gift to please a friend or loved one. There is a way to make shopping for those gifts easier and less stressful. The solution is to shop local.

REWARDING GIFTS The problem with many big chain stores is that they carry similar merchandise, much of which is actually manufactured and produced overseas. That does little to help the American economy. It is also very unimaginative. People like getting real surprises for holidays, birthdays or anniversaries. If they get gifts that they see all the time on the shelves of a chain store, it can be a disappointment. Anyone who needs a new sweater, blender or set of bath towels can certainly buy those items for themselves. Also, many people feel obligated to buy gifts for certain people, like a boss, coworker or friend, but that is no reason to be boring and unimaginative. SPECIAL PRODUCTS Small mom-and-pop stores often have products you can’t find anywhere else. These types of stores are ubiquitous in Ocean Beach, both along the main thoroughfares and in the more off-the-beaten-path

corners of the community. Local shops can be intensely focused on one particular gift, with good insight and advice about what to purchase. They have a niche market that they know exceptionally well. Instead of trying to sell a little bit of everything, they typically concentrate on a special product or category, like the quality beads at The Black Bead, unique finds at Ocean Gifts & Shells or one-of-akind fashions at Lola Luna. This is because many small shops have products with local connections that are made by local companies, local craftsmen

GOOD REPUTATION Most mom-and-pop stores are a fixture in their community because they have been there for so long. Take Ocean Beach Hardware, for example, which has been in the community since the late 1919. Mom-and-pop stores build their reputation over many years. They can’t stay in business unless they offer the very best products and customer service, including unique gifts that are popular in your particular area. The proprietors of the shops have a special bond with the community, some even displaying art by local artists on their walls. Another bonus to shopping in the local stores is that it helps to boost the local economy by keeping the money in the area. Neighborhood stores also keep the towns vibrant and enable talented artisans to make a profit by doing what they love. Any time of the year is a great time to peruse local shops for unique gifts for others or even for yourself.

pet services WWW.CUTTINGEDGEK9.COM CUTTING EDGE K9 REHAB Has Been Featured On Local & National News, Radio, A Number Of Local Papers & Magazine Articles. Swimming is one of our strongest recommendations for most K9’s. It is an ideal form of exercise for a many reasons. Our rehab services offer assisted swimming in a warm water environment. The benefits are: • Non-weight-bearing (reducing stress on joints) • Facilitates full use of the front and hind legs vs. partial use as seen with underwater treadmills • Dogs are often able to actively swim although unable to move their legs on land (due to stroke/ spinal injury) • Allows manual techniques by therapist/ manual resistance to an affected limb • Swimming in a controlled environment is the safest way for clients to exercise. • Speeds recovery following injury/ surgery • Improves function & quality of life • Works reciprocal muscle groups (helps correct muscle imbalances) • Reduces pain & inflammation • Reduces canine obesity thus decreasing the risk of other health-related problems • Increases strength, range of motion & cardiovascular conditioning • Prevents overheating through proper water temperature • Increases tolerance for extended cardiovascular training • Decreases recovery time • Reduces post-exercise soreness • Provides good cross training for the competitive, athletic dog (619) 227-7802

THURSDAY · NOVEMBER 28, 2013 THE PENINSULA BEACON

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.

This trio just returned from El Salvador where they happened to bring a couple copies of the Beacon with us to keep themselves entertained at El Zonte Beach in the state of La Libertad. The faithful Beacon readers shown are Jeremy Klinkhamer, Angela Klinkhamer and Caden Taylor.

Tom and Connie Cresci, long-time Peninsula residents, take their Beacon to Playa del Sol (formerly Costa Vida) on Banderas Bay in Puerto Vallarta with Punta Mita in the back ground. Costa Vida was the first timeshare in Puerto Vallarta. Tom has been visiting there for over 30 years. They even have a poolside cocktail named a “Tomas Especial.”

Point Loma residents Lynn Rippee Silva and her mother, Kay, celebrate Kay’s 92 birthday high above Bergen, Norway along with their Beacon. Not pictured is son/grandson, Billy, who took picture.

Al and Sandi Winter are shown with the Moai at Easter Island on a trip to South America that included Patagonia, Iguassu Falls and Buenos Aires.

The SHADES Oceanfront Bistro family took the Beacon with them to New York recently. Pictured are Alyssa, Kylie, Billy, Michelle and Jeff.

People in the news SD Foundation announces Bob Kelly’s retirement Point Loma resident Bob Kelly, president and CEO of The San Diego Foundation, has announced his planned retirement from the organization in September 2014. The Board of Governors will form a search committee to lead the implementation of the organization’s succession plan and expects to identify a new president and CEO in July 2014 to ensure a smooth transition. Kelly was instrumental in establishing nine affiliate community foundations throughout San Diego County in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Escondido, La Jolla, Rancho Bernardo, 4SRanch~Del Sur, Chula Vista, Ramona and San Ysidro. In 2012, The San Diego Foundation also opened the Malin Burnham San Diego Center for Civic Engagement, the community involvement arm of the organization established to drive the implementation of the Our Greater San Diego Vision project, mobilize stakeholders to develop solutions to community issues and better align donor support with the needs of the region. Prior to joining The Foundation, Kelly served as the executive director of the American Cancer Society in San Diego

and vice president of Southern California. He also spent significant time with Sharp Health Care, where he served as assistant to the president and senior vice president and chief operating officer for Sharp Health Care Foundation. “For nearly four decades I’ve worked to better the quality of life for San Diegans,” said Kelly. “The last 20 I’ve spent at The Foundation have been my proudest, having worked to enhance parks and open spaces, establish a strong community philanthropy division enabling people to support the communities in which they live, and raise nearly $10 million to rebuild our neighborhoods after the 2003 and 2007 wildfires. “I have made many great friendships along the way and I’m excited about the next chapter in my professional career, and will continue to find ways to make the San Diego region a better place for everyone,” he said.

“So many seniors have boxes of longforgotten holiday decorations in their attic or garage just waiting to be given a new life,” Silvera said. “Seeing the joy people have when their Christmas memories come alive is what the season is all about.” Silvera has reached out to local community groups to help identify the lucky homeowners that will get a holiday makeover. “We are honored to have such a community-minded individual as one of our NTC resident groups,” said Alan Ziter, NTC Foundation executive director. “During the season, and all throughout the year, Scout works to give back and we appreciate that spirit at the NTC arts and culture district.” Silvera agrees. “Our team of volunteer decorators does the heavy lifting, so our clients can sit back and enjoy a lifetime of Christmas memories,” he said.

PLHS alum, pro star La’Roi Glover earns another high-profile honor Point Loma High alum La'Roi Glover (class of 1992) received another honor earlier this month when he was named to the New Orleans Saints (NFL) Hall of Fame. Glover was a CIF “Player of the Year” in football, CIF wrestling champion and award-winning shot putter who went on to become a college star (SDSU) where he was elected to the Aztec Hall of Fame in 2010. As a professional football star with the Saints (1997-2001), Glover was named National Conference Defensive Player of the Year, a unanimous first-team All-Pro, Saints defensive MVP, Saints “Man of the Year” and “Unsung Hero.” Glover's Pointer football jersey was retired (above) in a ceremony Oct. 16, 2009 during the Homecoming game. Glover now works for the St. Louis Rams as Director of Player Engagement, helping young players make the transition to pro football. — Scott Hopkins
