City's District 2 'the best,' Harris tells community in final speech BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Proclaiming District 2 as “absolutely the best in the city,” and with a nod to his family, staff and community volunteers, lifeguard turned legislator Ed Harris closed the book on his eight-month City Council term in his State of the District address Dec. 1. “The state of the district is strong,” said Harris before an audience at Dana Middle School, noting that “without my staff, I wouldn’t have been able to serve you.” The outgoing councilman pointed out that his office had an “all-hands-on-deck approach” to problem solving, noting that community volunteers “helped make their neighborhood better. “It’s humbling to have worked with you,” said Harris, who will return to lifeguarding after the holiday break. He has announced his intent to run for Toni Atkins’ termed-out State Assembly seat in 2016. Harris singled out cycling enthusiast Nicole Burgess for her advocacy in “ensuring people get their kids on bikes and safely to school” and for promoting nonmotorized travel and a more healthful lifestyle. He also credited the Optimist club for decorating the Peninsula with American flags and the Point Loma Association for “beautifying the entire district.” Harris said he had four goals when taking office: protecting qualify of life, pro-

National recognition sought for Portuguese community's religious anchor BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

Even though it's a site of weddings, Point Loma's Portuguese chapel seats about 18.

The tiny chapel at 2831 Avenida de Portugal – the crown jewel of Point Loma's Portuguese community – is one step closer to national recognition, a place on the National Register of Historic Places. The United Portuguese S.E.S. Association has filed the paperwork seeking historic recognition for the chapel, which is typical of countryside praying chapels in Portugal's Azores and is the only one of its kind standing in Southern California. In 1921, San Diego’s Portuguese

enclave had been established for 30 years or more. The waterfront landscape was drab, with few trees and buildings sparse and well-separated. The Portuguese wanted to build a tiny chapel like the countryside praying chapels they had known in the Mother Country. Massive construction debt (by 1921 standards) was incurred. Two construction loans of $500 each were taken out and had to be repaid. At a time when tuna fishing was done only with poles and was a rigorous and dangerous occupation, fishermen started giving up a day’s catch to help pay off the debt.

Today, that little clapboard chapel built in 1922, measuring just 12 feet by 20 feet, is surrounded by larger buildings that include a social hall next door. It was built with donations (both monetary and labor) from the Portuguese-American fishing community of San Diego. The primary builders were Joseph Athaide (carpenter), Frank Brown (painter) and John Lucas (stone mason), each from the Azores islands, a Portuguese possession. The chapel was built using a late 19thcentury Gothic Revival architectural style influenced by designs from the Azores. The exterior walls are painted

wood clapboards with trimmed corners and portals. The raised foundation is built of red bricks. The facade is of symmetrical design, incorporating a classical triune style (symbolizing the Holy Trinity). The centered entry doors are flanked by stained-glass windows featuring a centered crown motif. The chapel helps uphold a 700-yearold tradition, the annual Portuguese Fest of the Holy Spirit, and is the place where the Crown of the Holy Spirit is displayed.

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON In November, Midway planners endorsed turning the old ten-story Sharp Cabrillo Hospital into an international language school and heard about a “greening” plan and an update on the status of prospective marijuana dispensaries. “The earliest we could open [the school],” EF Education First spokesperson Shawna Sullivan told planners, “would be June of 2016.” EF is a privately held international education company founded in Sweden

and headquartered in Switzerland specializing in language training, educational travel, academic degree programs and cultural exchange with 500 offices and schools in 52 countries. It is in escrow in its purchase of the former acute-care hospital and skilled-nursing facility, which sits on about six acres at 3475 Kenyon St. The company plans to turn it into a campus serving foreign-exchange students, nearly all of whom rely on public transportation. Addressing EF's plans to plant trees on the campus, Midway planner Jacob

McKean suggested palm trees not be included in the landscape plan. “In urban environments, with loads of concrete and asphalt (that raises temperatures), palm trees provide little or no shade,” McKean said, noting what’s needed instead is “hardwood shade trees, especially low-water-use oaks and sycamores.” McKean added that downed palm fronds are a nuisance and said that palm trees can house rodents and other pests. “There’s some concern about the SEE SCHOOL, Page 20

NEWS 4 Municipal code changes are sought as city pursues remodel flap THURSDAY · DECEMBER 4, 2014

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The city is going after the owner of an abandoned remodel on Plum Street on a corner lot in Point Loma, and the Peninsula Community Planning Board has sent a letter to city officials calling for changes in the municipal code to eliminate loopholes allowing such developments. After years of inaction, authorities are finally going after a “perpetual” remodel at 1676 Plum St. (at the corner of Lowell Street), deputy city attorney Danna Nicholas told Peninsula planners Nov. 20. A total of seven misdemeanor counts have been filed in San Diego Superior Court against the property’s owner, Francisco Mendiola. The counts carry maximum sentences of six months in jail and $1,000 fines. Jerry Lohla, a neighbor of the unfinished Plum Street residence who’s been working for years to eradicate it, said Mendiola is notorious for starting developments he never finishes. The State Court arraignment for the City's criminal complaints against Mendiola has now been extended to Dec. 12, Lohla said, adding that “Until the criminal charges have been adjudicated, the City

Attorney can take no other action against Mendiola.” Lohla said he’s been informed by the City Attorney's office that Mendiola “is back at Development Services applying for new permits. “How he can request new permits while facing arraignment for criminal charges regarding his previous permits?” Lohla asked. “My fear,” Lohla aded, “is that he will have new permits approved — or at least in process — by the time his arraignment is heard by the State Court and that the judge will say, ‘Well, if the City is giving Mendiola a new permit, these criminal charges against him must have no merit.’" Charges against Mendiola include maintaining a construction fence and storing materials on the street as well as maintaining steel for a retaining wall and stairs on the public right-of-way in front of the property without a public right-ofway encroachment agreement, in violation of the San Diego Municipal Code. The seven counts also include allowing the existence of a vacant structure that created a public nuisance. It’s also alleged that the defendant unlawfully failed to obtain a new building

permit within the required 90 calendar days from the date of a written notice from the city as well as removing a public sidewalk without proper notice or permission. Planning board member Don Sevrens agreed that the time for inaction on the Plum Street abandoned residence has passed. “The PCPB on Nov. 20 agreed to send a letter to the director of the city's Department of Development Services urging the department not to review or approve any new permits on the Plum Street property until all criminal charges on the property have been fully adjudicated,” he said. Sevrens said he, Lohla and planning colleague Jon Linney are “planning a road show to engage all planning boards in City Council District 2 to urge (Councilwoman Lorie) Zapf to request that the city attorney draft a revised remodeling ordinance that is stronger as the long-term solution. “My (unconfirmed) understanding is that there are more than 100 such cases pending in the city. “One possible arrow in the quiver would be seeking the approval of the umbrella council of all 41 planning boards in the city,” added Sevrens. Changes being sought in the city municipal code would require any residential "remodeling project" above a certain square footage or significantly altering the façade of a building have a specified completion deadline and require

any residential "remodeling project" above a certain square footage be subject to a completion bond to help ensure that money for completion is available in cases where the developer gets overextended. “As you know, these often are not ‘remodels’ but disguised tear-downs,” said Sevrens. “The developer only wants to buy the dirt but does a remodel preserving token studs to skirt many of the regula-

tions that a tear-down would entail.” At the Nov. 20 meeting, Nichols told planners that “the judge cannot dismiss this case. “It must either go to trial or a plea bargain, as this is his (Mendiola’s) third goround in defaulting on permits.”

Son allegedly murders parents in San Diego; in police custody

BY NICOLE GOCHMANOSKY

SAN DIEGO, CA – Friday, Nov. 28 around 3:09 a.m. two shots, followed by five more shots, were heard in a Point Loma neighborhood just above Sunset Cliffs as Peter Haynes allegedly murdered both of his parents in their home. Police were on a local manhunt for the young man, closing down a 4 block radius and entering homes with a Swat team, until around 8:00 a.m. that morn-

ing when they found the suspect outside of the home nearby. The parents, Dr. David and Lissa Haynes, died early Friday morning at UCSD Medical Center from gunshot wounds, after making a 911 call around 3:10 a.m. Sources at the scene have confirmed the murder suspect is Peter Haynes, and that he could be seen on his sister Kim-

berly Hayne's Facebook page holding the potential murder weapon with his sister in his parent's home only 14 days ago Peter faced a judge Wednesday, Dec. 3 for his arraignment hearing. The hearing was continued to January of next year to give his attorney from the public defender’s office, Richard Gates, time to have Peter’s mental health assessed. After a picture of the Haynes’ siblings holding a gun together only 14 days before the shooting was published in this article, Kimberly spoke to NBC 7 San Diego about it. Kimberly explained the photos depicted a rare bonding moment between her and her brother, who can be difficult to bond with as he suffers from a sever mental illness, paranoid schizophrenia. While attempting to explain the bonding moment publicly depicted on her Facebook page, the revelation of Peter’s mental illness has raised questions in the community about mental health, gun ownership, and the responsibility of the local municipalities to prevent similar future actions.

NEWS QUICKHITS >> PUBLIC INPUT ON NAVY'S PIPELINE FIX TO END The United States Navy will on Dec. 6 terminate its public comment period on a draft environmental assessment to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed repair and relocation of a portion of the Navy’s Miramar fuel pipeline in the Point Loma area. The Navy proposes to repair and relocate approximately five miles of the southern end of the pipeline to provide for the continued fueling needs of Navy ships. The area in question runs along 3.5 miles of pipeline from the La Playa waterfront area (Naval Base Point Loma to Lytton Street) to the Rosecrans Street

right-of-way to address items such as dents, corrosion and metal loss. The Navy also proposes to relocate approximately one mile of the pipeline in the vicinity of the San Diego River and install five isolation valve stations. The 30-day public comment period began Nov. 7. The Miramar pipeline is a Navyowned facility extending 17 miles between Naval Base Point Loma and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego. It was built in 1954 and provides fuel for Navy ships and aircraft.

Following repeated complaints by neighbors that the practice is an endaround on parking requirements, the Peninsula Community Planning Board agreed not to approve any more apartment-to-condo conversions in the dense Roseville area. The issue came to a head during board deliberations Nov. 20 on a request to construct four residential condos at an apartment building under construction at 3015-3021 Carleton St. “This is a condo creation, not a condo conversion,” said board planner Don Sevrens after a brief presentation by developers, who noted project floor plans call for two bedrooms plus a “den with a closet.” Roseville neighbors objected that a “den with a closet” constitutes a third bedroom, alleging the project is being advertised as such, a claim developers outright denied. Peninsula planner Paul Webb noted that apartment-to-condo conversions sidestep some aspects of community planning review. “We review rental units,” he said, “but with condo conversions, the only thing we get to review is the map waiver (conversion) itself, not the original project before construction starts.” “It’s a builder trick to circumvent the parking requirement,” argued Roseville resident Korla Eaquinta. She pointed out that apartments are required to have more parking than condos, contending that developers are routinely doing such conversions to supply less rather than more parking. The board was called upon by Roseville neighbors to “take a stand and deny projects like this.” The group answered, unanimously turning thumbs down on the Carleton project.

Planner David Dick also suggested that if the group were truly serious about taking a stand on the apartmentto-condo conversion issue, it ought to start “sending emissaries” to public hearings when such projects are being considered. In other action: • Planners Jon Linney and Don Sevrens updated the group on a proposal to redevelop Canon Street pocket park. Both planners said they’ve been going door to door in the neighborhood discussing their proposal and have encountered little or no resistance to the idea. Some neighbors, however, have turned out at previous board meetings warning that opening up the park by redeveloping it could serve as an open invitation to vagrants, thus threatening public safety. Sevrens said that if the project of acquiring the city-owned site moves forward, a fundraising effort will have to be undertaken. He said two public workshops would also be required to receive public input. He added that donations for the project would be tax-deductible. A nonprofit foundation would also have to be secured to accept contributions, he said. • Peninsula resident Meg Newcomb turned out to warn the board about plans for an apartment complex proposed for the now-fenced, vacant lot where Barnard School used to be, at 930 Barnard St. in Point Loma. “There’s been no traffic study. This was ministerially approved,” Newcomb said, adding that “traffic in the area is bad already.” • Planners unanimously approved drafting a letter to the City requesting crosswalks on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, which they noted is a busy thoroughfare in an area with a significant number of pedestrians and bicyclists.

Pointers end football season with loss to 'a really good team' BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Point Loma's much-improved football season came to an abrupt end with a frustrating second loss to league rival Madison in a hard-fought CIF quarterfinal battle two weeks ago that saw the Warhawks score 21 points in just 27 seconds of play. Playing each other for the second time in three weeks, the Division I No. 5 seed Pointers played far better against the No. 4 seed Warhawks, but several costly errors led to a 49-28 final score that didn't reflect many areas of improvement the Dogs made in their second foray up the I-805 freeway. “I thought our kids came out with a lot of energy and gave it their very best

shot,” said Pointer head coach Mike Hastings. “They played hard, but we ran into a really good team.” The loss left the Pointers with a 9-3 record. Other than Madison (now also 93), the Dogs' only other defeat was by one point (7-6) to powerful Ramona. The 2014 team reversed a 5-6 record by last year's squad. When the Dogs and Hawks first met early in November, the Western League title was at stake. Madison blew the game open, scoring on their first six possessions en route to a 36-14 win. But after the Pointers pinned a 47-35 loss on Mt. Miguel in opening-round CIF play, they were ready to give the Warhawks a dogfight. The first Hawk possession failed this

time as the Hawks lost a fumble near the Pointer goal. But after the Warhawks started their second drive on the Pointer 48 and took a 7-0 lead, a critical sequence followed. On the Pointers' first play following the kickoff, a pitchout from quarterback Gavin Grady ended up on the ground, with the Warhawks pouncing on the ball at the Pointer four-yard line. On the next play, the Warhawks scored, taking a 14-0 lead only 16 seconds later. Grady's pass to a leaping Tim O'Brien led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Romeo Epperley, but the Warhawks started a drive with under two minutes left in the first half, scoring with just three seconds left to take a 21-7 lead. The Pointers got to within 21-14 with a second-half kickoff drive that featured a 25-yard Grady to Jaylen Griffin pass. Griffin then ran 10 yards for the score with 7:18 left in the third quarter, giving the Dogs hope. But following the kickoff, Madison star Isaiah Osborne romped 80 yards on the first play, and after 11 seconds, the Pointers were once again down by 14 points. On their next drive, the Pointers lost another fumble on the second play, and Madison upped the lead to 35-14 several plays later with 3:00 still left in the

third period. When the Warhawks scored again early in the fourth quarter, the Pointer seniors and most underclassmen played out the game for pride. Epperley finished his prep career with a 67-yard touchdown scamper up the middle and also caught Grady's 24-yard pass for the team's final points of the season with just eight seconds remaining. “Our turnovers gave them some very short fields that led to pretty quick scores,” Hastings said. “We came out hard,” he added, “and made them punt more than the first game to give ourselves more opportunities. I was happy with our effort but think we just ran into a really good Madison team.” Hastings praised his team for many reasons and noted that the emergence of team leaders was one key reason for the Pointer turnaround. “We developed and nurtured leadership skills during the off-season, not only with the seniors but all the returning kids,” Hastings said. “With kids like Grady, O'Brien, Epperley, Sergio Gallegos and others,” Hastings added, “it's a lot of kids that were either vocal leaders or led by example. They led by their actions, by their work ethic and by not letting each other down.”

“I think (all our players) realized they could have some success, and if you take away a couple Madison games, we had a very successful season,” Hastings noted. “And because of the leadership and buyin, it made the season special.” Looking back, Hastings recalled: “When we beat El Camino and came so close to Ramona, I knew this team could play with most anybody.” And the Warhawks proved to be no fluke. They eliminated top-seed La Costa Canyon in the semifinals last week, and they are currently favored to win the CIF title over No. 3 seed St. Augustine this week.

EXTRA POINTS: As the game became beyond reach, Madison continued to play its starters. The Pointers went 6-1 in their Pete Ross Stadium home, the loss to Ramona being the only blemish. The Pointers' deceptive fly offense averaged nearly 33 points per game this season. On defense, the Pointers yielded about 24 points per game. Madison, however, accounted for 85 of those in the teams' two encounters. With his 17th season concluded, Hastings' overall record rises to 122 wins, 73 losses and two ties.

Point Loma's Lady Pointers volleyballers bring CIF banner home

BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON For the second consecutive year, a team of Lady Pointers has brought a CIF championship banner to Point Loma High School. This time, it was the volleyball team that entered the Division I playoffs as the No. 2 seed before eliminating No. 15 Carlsbad, No. 7 Santa Fe Christian and No. 11 Rancho Buena Vista before a thrilling 3-0 set sweep over No. 1 seed La Costa Canyon in the championship round of the 16-team field. The CIF record book shows the Lady Pointers reached the volleyball finals in 1983 against La Jolla and in 2000 against University City, but this is their first championship. The girls, who feed off a loud, maledominated cheering section known as the Dog Pound, utilized a blend of tough, talented and unselfish players to win the section title by scores of 25-19, 25-23 and 25-20. The final round of all divisions was played at Cathedral Catholic school.

The most tense set of the match was the second, which featured six lead changes before the Lady Pointers finally prevailed. Outside hitter Courtney Justus led her team in the finals with 12 kills, while Yuliya Ushakova had nine and Madilyn Yeomans added seven. Senior setter Faith Smith played a major role in the victory, racking up 33 assists, and also led her team with three service aces. “We were not nervous going into the finals,” said head coach Davis Ransom. “The mood was, 'Let's see how well we can do and give it our best shot.'” The Mavericks, on the other hand, may have felt some pressure, since this was their 12th appearance in the finals in the last 13 years. They won eight consecutive CIF championships from 20042011 but have not won since then. “But I felt like we were [a] more confident team,” Ransom said. Ransom said three qualities characterized his squad. “First is selflessness,” he said. “These girls didn't care who got the credit – they

just wanted to win. Being OK with what worked best for the team was very important. “The second is toughness,” Ransom added. “They were willing to grind things out and do things that didn't pay dividends right away, such as diving on the floor 100 times a day. “They showed both mental and physical toughness.” Lastly, Ransom cited harmony. “The team just got along great,” Ransom noted. “They loved each other, there was no fighting, and they let me make choices that were best for the team.” Perhaps another benefit for the Lady Pointers was playing the Mustangs Nov. 5 in the final regular season match, won by La Costa 3-1. “We saw what they were trying to do and they saw what we were trying to do,” Ransom noted. “They didn't adjust much [in the finals], but we adjusted very significantly.” When the match ended, the Lady Pointers, coaches and fans were elated. “We were just stoked,” Ransom said. “It's been a long time coming, and the community has wanted us to be successful. We were proud and validated to know that everything we have been doing is on track.” Following the victory, Ransom received congratulatory text messages from coaches around the county who knew it was the Lady Pointers' first title. A large crowd of supporters attended the Saturday finals. “The community has really embraced our team,” Davis said. Caught up in pregame warmups and early game action, he finally turned around to see the assembled throng about 10 points into the first set.

THURSDAY · DECEMBER 4, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Josefowitz to be inducted into SD County Women's Hall of Fame Doing it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. Educator and author Natasha Josefowitz, who writes the biweekly “Doing It Better” column for The San Diego Community Newspaper Group's La Jolla Village News, has been selected as an inductee into the San Diego County Women’s Hall of Fame. Her induction ceremony is set for Sunday, March 1. Josefowitz was selected as one of six women who have worked to improve the lives of other women and made changes in their communities. The selection committee comprises the San Diego County Commission on the Status of

Women, the Women's Museum of California, the UCSD Women's Center and the Department of Women's Studies at San Diego State University. La Jolla Village News is a sister paper of The Peninsula Beacon. Josefowitz, 88, has spent her life as an educator. She taught the first course in the United States for women in management at the University of New Hampshire; her book “Path to Power, a Woman’s Guide from First Job to Top Executive” became a bestseller. She worked as a consultant to government and profit and nonprofit organizations to help women enter male-dominated places of work. Her latest project focuses on how men and women grieve and heal differently and takes a new approach to the different stages of grief. Her latest book, “Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without,” is a reflection of her research

and personal experiences on the subject. Josefowitz was a professor of management for 30 years and is an internationally known business consultant and keynote speaker. For 10 years, she had her own weekly program on public radio and a monthly segment on television. She has also been a guest on numerous radio and TV shows, including “All Things Considered,” “The Larry King Show” and “The Dr. Ruth Show,” to name a few. Josefowitz is the best-selling author and award-winning poet of 20 business and poetry books. Her articles and poems have been published in more than 100 journals and magazines, including The Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today, The London Times and most major newspapers in the United States.

CHAPEL CONTINUED FROM Page 1

Portugal across Rosecrans to St. Agnes Church begins and ends there. “Achieving this designation in the National Registry,” said association president Carl Silva, “has long been sought by the generations of Portuguese in the community. They are extremely proud of the chapel, as evidenced by its preservation and use over nearly 100 years.” Outside, pause on the steps and take in the trappings of middle 19tth-century Gothic Revival architecture: an arched entry, pyramidal roof ornaments, stained glass windows and the muted clapboard walls. Step inside into a structure so narrow that two men standing together with arms outstretched could touch the walls. This is a chapel suitable for solitary praying, not for services for massive congregations. Try to picture a wedding in a church so tiny it might seat only 18 or so. And yet, this chapel does accommodate one or two weddings each year. This month, Point Loma Nazarene University will show off the treasure to 42 visiting architectural professors. The listing on the registry, if it comes, will serve as a seal of recognition. It also will serve as a layer of protection against forced relocation should progress ever clash with 700-year-old tradition.

This landmark chapel is part of the oldest ethnic celebration in San Diego. The Festa celebrated its 104th year in 2014, and at 92, the chapel is fast approaching 100 years of age. The pageantry and tradition along with displaying the Crown during the Festa do Espírito Santo are examples of the chapel's importance. During the Festa celebration, up to six crowns are displayed in the chapel. The Festa unifies the community helping to raise funds to care for its members by helping the sick, feeding the poor and specifically providing food to an orphanage in San Diego. High school student bands participating in the Festa receive donations to offset their expenses and continue their musical programs. Various organizations in the community participate, including city and county officials, military officers and local firefighters. The chapel hosts wedding receptions as well as civic and private events. The entire celebration is funded by donations. The chapel is maintained by and under the authority of the board of directors of the United Portuguese S.E.S., Inc. of San Diego. The organization's stated purpose is to encourage religious and civic activities; promote, further and support the welfare of the community; and foster sociability and develop a united spirit among the people of the community.

Flu shots: No, thanks – better safe than sorry BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | THE BEACON

Martin Jones Westlin is editor of La Jolla Village News, The Beacon's sister paper. Last November, little Marysue Grivna reportedly survived the prospect of a rare disease long enough to play a game of tag. Four days later, the 10year-old Tampa girl fell ill with Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a brain infection that manifests symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis. Marysue is now confined to a wheelchair and has a limited vocabulary – and after some research, her parents are persuaded that the cause lay in something the doctors will neither confirm nor deny. Influenza season – marked by that peskiest of perennial contagions – is in full swing, and the medical profession is trotting out its complement of vaccines accordingly. It's estimated that some 5 to 20 percent of Americans will get the flu this year despite the shot, and in any event, it appears that their level of protection varies wildly (the Centers for Disease Control reports 60 to 70 percent effectiveness in recent seasons, while last year's vaccine against a more virulent strain was only 9 percent effective in those 65 and older). That's why Marysue's illness is so noteworthy. It took hold following a simple flu shot – and while the medical jury's publicly out on the cause and effect in her case, stories like hers persist every year. In 2013, a healthy 19year-old Utah boy died after taking the vaccine a week earlier; a 7-year-old Vermont girl died four days after her shot in 2011. The Department of Justice says that 55 flu vaccine-related settlements were awarded for a threemonth period earlier this year, including compensation for one death. (Such vaccines are part of the

Marysue Grivna's dilemma may stem from something millions of Americans get every year.

Scripps Research Institute's stock in trade. And Scripps reportedly is working on a vaccine that will last a lifetime, eliminating the yearly shot.) According to Sherri Tenpenny, things are a lot worse. Flu vaccines, the Cleveland-area osteopath says, are loopy with animal cells, detergents, formaldehyde, mercury and other problematic elements that compromise effectiveness and can lead to much greater illness; the vaccine is further contaminated by latex and rubber stoppers in the vials; flu viruses in circulation are actually a lot less prevalent than we're led to believe; the selection process for a given year's target strain is fraught with holes; and on and on. “We are so used to taking medications for prevention and treatment,” Tenpenny has written, “that it is difficult to comprehend that [other] recommendations are really the most powerful ways to minimize the likeli-

hood of getting the flu.” You can see more about Tenpenny and her work at drtenpenny.com. I've never had a flu shot in the 40odd years it's been publicly available – and I've also contracted an influenza virus only once in that time (for two weeks after New Year's of 1996, death would have been a welcome relief). I've also been told I'm criminally youthful and healthy for my age, but I'm also 64, on the cusp of elderliness, when flu patients might exhibit serious complications from the illness (remember the 9 percent vaccine protection level for people around my age). But I'll take my chances again this year, preferring to tough out whatever comes my way. The flu's a bitch, but I'll trade its discomfort for the prospect of something far more debilitating and irreversible down the line. Sadly, that's a choice Marysue may never have had a chance to make.

CHRISTMAS IN OB

THURSDAY · DECEMBER 4, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON

The Ocean Beach Town Council is proud to bring you the 35th Annual OB Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 6th at 5:05pm! For more than 30 years, our quaint little surfing village of Ocean Beach has hosted one of the best Christmas Parades in SoCal. On Saturday, December 6th, Newport Avenue is lined with colorful OBceans and visitors all eagerly awaiting the commencement of the 35th Annual OB Holiday Parade at 5:05pm. This year's theme is 35 Years of Peace, Love, and OB. For some, it’s the excitement of seeing the Point Loma Marching Band strut their way down the street or the SD Roller Derby Dolls in their eyecatching costumes. For others, it’s watching the VW Beetle club and classic Woodies roll down Newport Ave. Some prefer the motorcycles, bright-lit floats and countless bands that fill the beach with live music. So, in other words, whatever your pleasure, OB has it all in our rendition

of the Christmas March. And…of course…the big man himself, Santa Claus, will be making his appearance. After the festivities, the nightlife of OB takes off as the locals and visitors celebrate and spread even more Holiday Cheer in one of the many local bars and eateries. People of all ages are invited join us at this fun-filled event – costumes, cheering and laughter are not only welcomed, they are encouraged! Come find out what the locals have known for over 30 years - Santa would rather be in OB! Be sure to RSVP and invite all your friends. Buy your commemorative t-shirts from the James Gang!

Take a break from your holiday shopping at the OB Christmas Parade, set for Saturday, Dec. 6 at 5:05 p.m. (exactly) and to run down Newport Avenue from Sunset Cliffs Boulevard to the beach. The lighting of the neighborhood tree at the foot of Newport will begin the event. Sights and sounds include classic cars, music and, of course, a very busy Santa.

Little Chef Chinese Food, a hot commodity Stepping into Little Chef Chinese Food is a lot like a stroll through OB itself – you're definitely inside a San Diego landmark, one whose longevity justifies its place in the public mind. And don't let the lack of space fool ya. The venue accommodates about three single-seat tables, but there's plenty of Newport Avenue people-watching to entice you, and the real action sizzles in the back, where the cooks work their magic in serving up some of the best Chinese in town. A lot of that has to do with the prices, which have been raised very little or not at all in the last seven years. Anywhere from 6 to $8 will get you sweet and sour chicken with cream-cheese won-tons, orange chicken, Mongolian beef, Szechuan chicken, barbecue pork, broccoli beef and stir-fry; add a measly $2.50 or so for stuff like dumplings and soup. You literally will be out of luck if you try to finish your meal on premises; the portions are so gigantic that you almost have a spare lunch the next day. To top it off, there's owner Mary Ann, always with a smile as wide as her dinner plates. It's amazing how she works the room without looking like she's getting anything done – there she stands, rattling your name off the top of her head and chumming it up with he friendly staff as the bounty rolls off the grills and ovens in the back room. In the face of a certain amount of public criticism, be warned: Little Chef takes cash only. On the other hand, there's a ATM at the front of the building, located at 4910 Newport Ave. See? Little Chef thinks of everything, including the food. Go here immediately – the Great Wall was never like this!

THURSDAY · DECEMBER 4, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Sink your grill into this cheesy delight BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | THE BEACON I’ve always thought it would be pretty cool—and innovative—for some entrepreneurial types to throw their weight behind an eatery that specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches. Nothing but grilled cheese sandwiches. Grilled cheese sandwiches are the hot-fare counterpart of peanut butter and jelly; nobody doesn’t like them, and the planet’s glut of bread and fillings can only fuel countless ideas for new combinations and ways to make ’em. After all, look what happened to Starbucks. In its 40 years on earth, it’s chopped and channeled the world’s most innocuous beverage into a commercial art form, with 17,000 stores

worldwide that sell scores of coffee blends to the tune of about $10 billion annually. Theoretically, the grilled-cheese idea is already in its infancy, and you have only to visit Con Pane Rustic Breads & Café to cop to the particulars. Any eatery that can whip up that little bit of nirvana called the Almost Grilled Cheese ($6.75) has its heart and head for such a venture in exactly the right place. The sandwich’s triple-cream Brie and Gorgonzola is an absolutely killer team, especially mounted on warmed Rosemary and olive oil bread. Bread is Con Pane’s signature item, as many of you already know (“pane” is Italian for “bread”). Management has made a long-term study of the stuff and knows the science

and art involved in baking it. If you’re looking for proof, try the raspberry scones. Then sink inexorably into a slough of despair in your feeble attempt to replicate the orgasm that follows. It’s been about four years since Con Pane moved to Point Loma’s Liberty Station (specifically 2750 Dewey Road) from nearby Rosecrans Boulevard, its cult following intact. You’ll find it there between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. every weekday but Wednesday, 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturdays and 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sundays (phone is 619-224-4344). If I do say so myself, the grilled-cheese franchise idea is a pretty good one—if you visit Con Pane and score an Almost Grilled Cheese, you might just bear witness to its beginning.

(school’s) lighting and noise from recreational facilities (pool, tennis courts, playing fields) impacting neighbors next door that need to be addressed,” said Midway board member and merchant Kathy Denton. Denton also asked a question regarding Education First’s capacity to accommodate its maximum potential of about 1,500 students onsite. “We’ve been successful using this model for 25 years in California,” answered Sullivan, who additionally pointed out that “There is a huge potential for host families in the Peninsula neighborhood.” She said that this would go far in alleviating the number of students living on campus. “MTS (Metropolitan Transit Service) may also create a program for us focused on Midway,” added Sullivan. Chair Melanie Nickel asked Sullivan if the site would be fenced or otherwise cordoned off once the school comes in. Sullivan replied that it probably would not, but she added that “We will have 24/7 security through cameras and a guard to keep occupants safe.” Melissa Garcia, of the City of San Diego, gave a presentation on prospective streetscape improvements contained in a North Bay Greening Plan. “We’re here to come up with a street tree palate in draft form for your input,” said Garcia. Garcia also noted that the city’s received grant money to be used to improve nonmotorized travel, including connecting bike and pedestrian pathways. “We are going to have a street tree master plan,” Garcia added. “It will not conflict with the community plan update you’re doing,” she said. In other matters: • Chair Melanie Nickel noted the first of a dozen or more prospective Midway medical marijuana dispensaries, at 3990 Hicock St., was not approved by a city hearing officer on Oct. 29 because it was “too close to Mission Bay Park. “They may appeal,” she noted, adding that more dispensaries are in the pipeline for administrative review. There are presently 38 applications citywide for new proposed legally permitted medical-marijuana dispensaries, in line with a new ordinance adopted earlier in the year. Eighteen of them — nearly half — are in City Council District 2, City Council District 2 includes all the beach areas from Point Loma and Ocean Beach north to Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. A new city ordinance allows medical marijuana dispensaries in industrially zoned areas. They are not allowed within 1,000 feet of churches, public parks, schools, child-care centers, city libraries, minor-oriented facilities, residential-care facilities or other medical-marijuana consumer cooperatives. The city also requires an initial deposit of $8,000 from all marijuana medical-dispensary applicants.

Health BRIEFS >> Senior Friendly Home Adjustments As we age, we may begin to notice that our homes are not as accommodating as they once were. The toilet may seem too low, the cabinets seem too high and steps and throw rugs pose a real risk. Sometimes major overhauls to make your home safe are necessary but other times there are easy and inexpensive fixes to new problems. Are you having more difficulty opening and shutting the door or turning on faucets? Replacing doorknobs and faucets with a lever handle helps as you are using your whole hand to turn inside of possibly stiff fingers. Are you afraid of falling in the shower or bathtub? A curbless shower or a walk-in bathtub is a major change but a simpler idea could be a shower chair so you can sit while showering. Add a hand-held showerhead and cleaning yourself becomes a breeze. Are you having a harder time getting up and down from the toilet? A new higher toilet will help but another idea might be to purchase a raised toilet seat. Remember to have some grab bars installed next to the toilet or shower to also help. As we get older, our extensor muscles that allow us to straighten our knees get weaker so getting up and down is harder. Are you having more difficulty reaching for your plates and glassware? Stop reaching up into the cabinets. Move the things you use every day to a lower cabinet or drawer. The RN Geriatric Care Managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants are knowledgeable in helping make your home comfortable and safe for years to come. They can give you an in-home assessment with ideas

San Diego Grab Bars Provide Security SAN DIEGO GRAB BARS is dedicated to helping you stay independent and safe in your own home. We offer grab bars, shower seats, and hand held shower heads to help make the bathroom a safer environment.

When we visit you, we bring along a great selection of products for same day installation. Decide what diameter and texture feels best before you buy. We can match the finish of your existing hardware. Falls are one of the main reasons people leave home and move into assisted care. Let us help you prevent falls and stay in the home you love.

Spinal Conditioning for Athletes with Lumbar Spondylolisthesis Low back pain is a very common problem in an athletic population, especially amongst adolescents. Participating in certain sports leads to specific anatomical changes to the lumbar spine. Specialized, prescribed therapeutic exercise and training programs should incorporate spinal stabilization, functional/dynamic core training, and sport-specific flexibility. Low back pain accounts for 40% of athletic injuries. Athletes typically are more prone to degenerative and spondylolytic related injuries versus a non-athletic population. Spondylolisthesis is basically a forward slippage o one vertebrae on another. This slippage is seen commonly with gymnastics, tennis, football and other sports that require a powerful movement from extremes of range of motion, flexion and extension of the lumbar spine. Gymnastics in particular requires 4x the amount of force to the spine versus a normal female population. In general females are 4x as likely to suffer from spondylolisthesis. These spinal changes are especially prevalent with adolescent growth spurts. A physical therapist or Sports Medicine doctor can typically diagnose a spondylolisthesis from a patient’s history and special testing. However, plain x-ray films will validate these findings and should be performed, especially when symptoms are not being progressing alleviated with skilled physical therapy treatments. A slip of less than 50% is considered mild and treated conservatively. Slips of over 50% should be referred for a surgical consult. A licensed physical therapist will typically focus treatment of spondylolisthesis with dynamic stabilization exercises. The major muscles involved in spinal stabilization are: lumbar multifidus, transverse abdominus, paraspinals, internal/external obliques and lastly the rectus abdominus. The intrinsic muscles, multifidus and transverse abdominus locally stabilize or support the weakened/slipped vertebral seg-

ments thus preventing excessive movements and hypermobility. There is even a co-contraction effect between these two muscles, which further aides in lumbar stabilization. Often exercises will involve conscious effort to contract/brace these muscles while performing small range of motion movements. Exercises are progressed to more functional/sport specific movements that acti-

vate these muscles in a subconscious fashion. If you would like more education regarding skilled physical therapy treatment of spondylolisthesis please contact: Greg Sterner, Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist in Physical Therapy at San Diego Sports Physical Therapy, 2750 Dewey Rd. Ste 101, San Diego, CA 92106 or call 619.756.7500.

Caregivers may already feel overwhelmed by their day-to-day responsibilities and view holiday preparations as an additional source of stress. Family dynamics at the holidays can also be challenging. Primary caregivers may feel resentful toward visiting family members who they feel have not helped out enough. Family members returning home after a prolonged absence may be surprised and depressed by the decline in their senior loved one and feel that the caregiver hasn't communicated well enough leading to arguments and discord among family members. Planning ahead and modifying holiday routines to accommodate the needs of the caregiver and the person being cared for can foster peace and good will instead of anger and frustration.

COMMUNITY Humane society groups stoke reward pool in rash of area sea lion shootings The Humane Society of the United States and The Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust are offering a reward up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible. This adds to an existing reward of $2,000 offered by San Diego Animal Advocates. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is also investigating the shooting and injuring of sea lions in the area. Over the past year, eight sea lions had to be euthanized due to severe injuries from gunshot wounds to their faces and bodies.

Bullets were found lodged in the spines, lungs, abdomens, eyes and flippers of the sea lions, who were stranded on San Diego beaches. The animals were paralyzed, blind, sick with infection and shattered joints or unable to eat or swim. Six of the animals were shot in the last two months. Scott Beckstead, Western regional director for the humane society, said, “These intelligent, social creatures experienced immense suffering from such senseless shootings. We are grateful for NOAA’s work to investigate these heinous crimes and implore anyone with information to come forward.”

Harming a sea lion is a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act and is punishable by criminal penalties up to $100,000 and one year incarceration. Civil penalties up to $11,000 per count may also be assessed. Anyone with information concerning the shootings is asked to call NOAA Special Agent Michelle Zetwo at (619) 5575494 or the NOAA hotline at (800) 8531964. Callers may remain anonymous.

The Alzheimer's Association (www.alz.org) suggests alerting family members and guests ahead of the visit to the current condition of a loved one with Alzheimer's or other Dementia. This can be achieved through a letter or email explaining what to expect and offering suggestions for effective communication while educating them about daily routines. Being prepared allows family and guests to arrive with realistic expectations and an understanding that changes in behavior and functioning are caused by the disease and not the person. It is also important for the primary caregiver to let family and friends know that their caregiving responsibilities may limit how much they can do in terms of holiday festivities. It is ok for caregivers to let others pitch in and only take on what they can reasonably manage. The Alzheimer's Association suggests involving the person with Dementia in holiday plans, building on old traditions and adjusting activities as needed to stick to the person's daily routine. Seniors Helping Seniors is offering a special holiday discount onhomecare services. Purchase 8 hours of service between now and December 31 and receive an additional 2 hours free. Call 800-481-2488 for more information.

Two more Humane Society groups are offering up to $5,000 to anybody who has this guy's back.

drought-tolerant vegetation. Regarding the Midway district, Harris noted the city, businesses and residents are all working together to “encourage a lease extension” for Valley View Casino Center (formerly the Sports Arena). On the environmental front, Harris noted his strong support for eliminating single-use plastic bags to avoid ocean pollution, a new state law taking effect in summer 2015, and for his advocacy of water conservation measures recently passed by the City Council calling for more reclamation and less dependence on imported sources. “A lot of things have happened in the last eight months because of your engagement and love for the community,” Harris told the audience, exhorting Peninsula residents to “be vigilant in protecting our quality of life.” Harris said the best way for Peninsula residents to protect their community is to “participate in the (City’s) budget process prioritizing issues.” Harris urged residents to enhance their “collective political influence.” “The City Council exists to work for you,” he said.

Noting voter turnout has plummeted in the last election, to what he deemed “an abysmal low” of 30 percent, Harris exhorted the public to improve on that. “It’s the most important voice you have in a democracy,” he noted. Harris said that while attending more than 70 community meetings during his tenure, he’s noted residents “are experiencing frustration about traffic control, petty crime and nuisance issues such as noise and homelessness. “One common theme is our need for more police officers and code enforcement,” Harris said, noting public safety “will always be a top priority.” Encouraging the community planning groups that make recommendations to the city, Harris said, “I feel they should weigh in on every development project, because every project has an impact on the community’s character.” In closing, Harris thanked the community as a whole for “making my experience as a councilmember a meaningful one.”

THURSDAY · DECEMBER 4, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Council OKs plan to cut reliance on imported water BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON San Diego City Council Nov. 18 unanimously endorsed a water recycling program, backed by a broad coalition of environmental and business groups, that seeks to provide one-third of San Diego’s potable water by 2035, reducing reliance on costly imported water. Mayor Kevin Faulconer urged the council to support renewed water reuse efforts aimed at “gaining water independence and the ability to control our own water supply for the very first time.” The mayor described cultivating alternative local water supplies as “vitally important to our economy and maintaining our quality of life.” The Pure Water San Diego program is designed to purify enough wastewater to provide one-third of San Diego’s water supply after all three phases are fully operational in 2035. Lauding the city’s Pure Water Project

as “an investment in our future,” Faulconer thanked environmental, business and community leaders for coming together to “create environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions to our water challenges. First District Council member Sherri Lightner, representing La Jolla, urged the city to “provide incentives encouraging homeowners and businesses to use grey water and private (water) reclamation projects for commercial developments. We want to ensure a sustainable water supply for our region.” U.S. Rep. Scott Peters, of the 52nd Congressional District (which includes La Jolla), also weighed in on council’s favorable water recycling vote. “Actions by the San Diego City Council,” he said, “are a huge step in the right direction as we adapt to the prolonged drought and work to diversify our community’s water supply. Safely recycling wastewater into drinking water is not just the environmentally friendly thing

to do but makes financial sense as we become less reliant on imported supplies.” The 20-year capital improvement project calls for the construction of a nearly $2 billion water-purification plant on Harbor Drive and the installation of advanced purification at the North City and South Bay water reclamation plants. The three facilities would eventually produce 83 million gallons per day. The project would divert wastewater flows away from the Point Loma wastewater treatment plant, which treats wastewater before it’s piped into the ocean. That would allow for a higher level of treatment for wastewater and would negate the need for billions of dollars to outfit the Point Loma plant with a secondary water treatment system. The City currently imports 85 percent of its water from Northern California and the Colorado River. A recent water reuse study project determined that it is feasible for San Diego to use water purifi-

cation technology to produce one-third of San Diego's drinking water supply locally by 2035. The City Council vote ratified a cooperative agreement with environmental groups laying out steps to achieve both the significant reduction in discharges of treated sewage to the ocean and production of at least 83 million gallons per day of drinking water by 2035, enough to meet about 40 percent of the City’s current use. Faulconer and city officials have been working together over the past 16 months with a diverse group of stakeholders, partners and local environmental groups to reach consensus on a strategy to submit the modified permit renewal application for the Point Loma plant, implement Pure Water San Diego and work to obtain approval of secondary equivalency for the Point Loma plant.

City Council approved a wastewater-purification plan to provide one-third of San Diego's drinkable water by 2035.
