Navy eyes relocation of fuel pipeline to enhance mission BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The Navy has released a draft environmental assessment of its fuel pipe relocation project in Point Loma, to which the Peninsula Community Planning Board has responded with a list of concerns. The Navy says relocating a section of its 17.3-mile fuel pipeline between Naval Base Point Loma and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar from the coastline to Rosecrans Street is essential, as about 4.5 miles of it are in need of repair or relocation to address deficiencies. The Navy said the seismic safety of the pipeline also needs to be enhanced to support its present and future fueling missions. To address erosion issues along the La HOLIDAY SPIRIT, OB STYLE Classic old cars and classic old neighborhoods just go together, like this surfboard-decked woodie and San Diego's fabled Ocean Beach. The 35th annual Ocean Beach Holiday Parade, held Dec. 6, was the site of many such images, several of which you can see on page 7. Meanwhile, thousands turned out for the music, costumes and, yes, car caravans down Newport Avenue.

Bayfront constructions have generated the Port District's enthusiasm for exploring potential projects for Harbor Island, the city’s hotel row, the old tuna commercial fishing docks and Shelter Island’s yacht basin. Everything seems to center on boosting the bayfront's 51 miles of shoreline for tourism and furthering maritime activity. Since the end of the Great Recession stress, the Port Commission believes it has turned the economic corner. The Port is a regional powerhouse, overseeing nearly 800 business agreements within its boundaries, according to a report issued Sept. 9, 2013 by Economic & Planning Systems. Total impact of all business activity within its jurisdiction equates to 57,000 jobs and nearly $7.5 billion in output, the report said. “We’re looking to see where we want to head,” said commission chairman Bob Nelson. “We're integrating it and thinking simultaneously about land use, transportation, infrastructure and the public general use areas. Overall planning will take another two years in the study of environmental impacts. We’ll be asking the coastal commission for an amendment to its master plan.”

Nelson indicated there was a lot of imaginative thinking going on right now that encourages the planning team not to think small. “This year,” Nelson said, “we’ll see revenues of $145 million. Sixty percent of that comes as a result of our real estate activities. In the area of hospitality, we have 16 hotels on port property and over 70 restaurants on the port tidelands. Simultaneously, we can seat 13,000 for lunch.” In addition, Nelson said he’s traveled to Washington, D.C. and Mexico City to resolve any Baja sport fishing ocean regulations that might have been misunderstood. He said there is a healthy uptick in the cruise industry. “On the West Coast,” he said, “the cruises had been hit by a trifecta: recession, the Mexican crime scare and new cruise trips in Australia, Asia and the Baltics. Nelson has served 40 years in government and politics and as chair of the San Diego Convention Center Corporation. He’s been a port commissioner for four years. He said the commission is looking at the Harbor Island lot, now in use for car rentals, to be more compatible for the public and also for opportunities to expand and reorganize the America’s Cup harbor and other minor things in

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON Though a Request for Proposal (RFP) on Peninsula YMCA's bid to construct and operate a new pool at NTC LIberty Station is stalled, the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) board recently passed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that could help clear the way for the YMCA to develop a pool in Point Loma and elsewhere. Earlier this year, the city issued an RFP for an organization to come in and develop, operate and lease out the proposed 20,000square-foot aquatic center in Building 619 in NTC (the former Naval Training Center), which was previously a child-care center. The San Diego County YMCA, which operates about 29 pools countywide, was the only responder to the RFP. It had originally been thought that SDUSD and the YMCA might compete for the RFP to build/operate a new NTC pool. The MOU now essentially makes it a joint venture. The MOU signed between the school district and YMCA establishes the framework for implementing the development of pool and recreational facilities at a dozen or more identified sites/school clusters citywide ,including NTC Liberty Station. The district and the YMCA anticipate conducting site visits within 90 days of executing the MOU. The new MOU is a step forward, but problems remain with long-term lease conditions, said Vince Glorioso, executive director of the Peninsula YMCA.

“Problems with terms of the lease really have it on hold right now,” said Glorioso, adding that the NTC building where the pool would be built is federally owned, VINCE GLORIOSO which complicates matters. “Terms have to be worked out now with the federal government because they own the property,” Glorioso said. “We need to work with the Department of the Interior to find an avenue to lease the property longer.” Glorioso said the new MOU with SDUSD to jointly pursue an NTC Pool project “pursues a vision the district has for pools at schools with a list of potential sites.” The new MOU, said Glorioso, calls for a partnership between the two entities. “These would now go to individual agrements per site,” he said. “So now the district is determining what (sites) they see as their highest priority, and the YMCA is doing an analysis to determine where pockets of service are deficient, areas that are underserved.” Because the NTC pool site is federally owned, Glorioso said there’s some question in terms of how this lease would be held. “It would actually be a concession agreement, not a typical property lease,” he said.

Small business recognizes Point Loma, Ocean Beach residents

Casteel cited for work with air rescue unit

To mark its five-year anniversary, The Wine Pub, on Point Loma’s Shelter Island Drive, recently honored four community-nominated residents for growing and uniting the neighborhood, which, in turn, allows local small businesses to thrive. Each local hero received recognition before receiving a bottle of champagne with a customized label reading, “Hero of Point Loma.” Awardees include James Earnest, who teaches video production at Mira Mesa High School and is a lifeguard in Ocean Beach. He’s found a way to blend these passions by connecting his video students with internships at the San Diego Regional Lifeguard Academy at Miramar College and create training videos for the San Diego Fire/Rescue Department.

Boulevard hotel was sentenced Dec. 12 to 65 years to life in state prison. The sentence handed down to Christopher Stevens, 46, was tripled because he is a third-strike defendant, having been convicted of committing three robberies in 1988 and 1989 and auto theft and burglary in 2004. The victim at the Wyndham Garden Hotel attack in the Midway area lost at least eight teeth in the Dec. 21, 2012, assault. Stevens smothered her with a pillow during the attack, the victim wrote in a letter read out loud by Deputy District Attorney Trisha Amador. Stevens was a guest at the hotel. The victim has not been able to work

her medical bills, Amador said. She said the victim had difficulty breathing during the attack and thought she would die. She now has insomnia. San Diego Superior Court Judge Louis Hanoian said the state crime victims compensation fund should pay for all her medical bills. The victim has not yet applied to the fund and does not speak English. Hanoian suggested the DA’s office help her apply to the fund. The victim asked the judge to impose a lengthy sentence, saying Stevens was a danger to others. Hanoian gave Stevens credit for serving 826 days in jail since his Christmas eve arrest in 2012. He ordered him to reg-

“I feel remorseful for everything that took place,” Stevens said in court. “I apologize to the victim. I take full responsibility for my actions. I made a lot of bad choices because of my environment. My past haunted me, and I made bad choices.” Stevens will also be sentenced Dec. 22 for assaulting a 93-year-old woman in an El Cajon retirement facility in an incident a day before the rape. He pleaded guilty to elder abuse and faces another eight years in prison, said prosecutor Amy Colby. The victim was covered with a pillow, and Stevens tore rings off her fingers that were worth $19,000, according to court records. Neil Putnam

Congestion charge may solve Peninsula traffic woes AMC’s television show “Hell On Wheels” is a favorite in our household. The wife likes westerns; I like history. The series traces the rough-and-tumble challenges of constructing the Transcontinental Railroad across America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in the mid-1800s. Those of us who live on the Peninsula are experiencing our own hellacious road work and traffic problems across our zip codes. The current “cone zones” on the Point are a major pain in the place that meets the saddle. It’s an inconvenience but a necessary one to replace old water pipes with new ones. Eventually, the road work will be finished, but with several new multi-story residential projects under way, traffic congestion is probably going to get worse. Add increased bicycle usage with the new “three-foot bicycle boundary law,” and driving on the Point has become running a gauntlet. Worst yet, road crews haven’t even started work on Rosecrans. Here’s a solution that other cities have used with success. London, Stockholm and Milan have enacted “congestion charge” zones to put the brakes on overcrowded roads. Before you scoff, know that during a seven-month trial, Sweden reduced its traffic flow by 20 per-

cent, improved their air quality by 10 percent and saw a significant increase in public transportation usage. England has several posted congestion zones where hefty fees are charged on “most motor vehicles” between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Mondays to Fridays. These zones are enforced through the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). In 2011, President Obama was fined nearly $100 after driving through a London congestion charge zone in a presidential state car during a visit to Buckingham Palace. Beijing, with severe traffic congestion, is now also considering congestion zones. Speeding is another red flag problem on the point. Newly installed flashing radar speed signs (Catalina and Canon Streets) “raise the speed awareness of oncoming drivers” but with “little effectiveness.” Some residents have suggested adding speed bumps and or more stop signs. City engineers say adding stop signs, speed bumps and closing streets (for cut-through traffic) negatively impact neighborhoods and often move problems to new locations and should be seen as last resorts. Studies have shown that some motorists actually increase their speeds to make up for the

inconvenience of stopping and that more than 50 percent don’t even stop! The intersection of Catalina, Hill and Santa Barbara streets is a good example. “Traffic calming” measures and programs seem to work to reduce speeding. Example: Bird Rock, in La Jolla, found that by removing stop “conditions” at key intersections and replacing them with “roundabouts,” traffic speed was reduced “midblock to low-30s and speeds at intersections to 15-20 mph.” They also added curb extensions, tree plantings and other landscaping to help reduce the visual width of blocks resulting in a “traffic calming” effect. Historically, the last time we’ve seen speeds and congestion in our area this bad was in 1915, when “the fastest racecar drivers in the world” competed on the dirt roads of Point Loma as part of a promotion for the Panama California Expo, which celebrated the canal opening connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. - Mike Ryan, Vice Chair, Peninsula Community Planing Board

McQuary supremely qualified for SDUSD's Subdistrict C leadership amid his resume BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON The baton of leadership was recently passed from Scott Barnett to Mike McQuary in San Diego Unified School District’s (SDUSD’s) Subdistrict C, which includes all coastal schools west of Interstate 5 between Point Loma and Del Mar. “We’re the second largest school district in the state and the 18th largest in the nation,” said McQuary of SDUSD, which he added has responsibility for 130,000 students and 15,000 school district employees. “The district has a $1.2 billion budget with 1,000 vehicles, of which 500 are school buses, serving 200 schools on 187 school sites,” noted McQuary, a lifelong educator. Subdistrict C includes 18 elementary schools, five middle schools, four senior high schools and a dozen atypical/charter schools. McQuary’s resume reads like a Who’s Who. He’s been a teacher, a principal, a union member and now a school board member. He acquired his elementary and secondary teaching credentials at San Francisco State and has taught in inner city schools in San Francisco, rural schools in Tulare County and suburban schools in Santa Cruz County. He’s the father of three and the grandfather of five. His two daughters have master's degrees. His son is a soldier who’s done tours of Korea, Kosovo and Iraq. McQuary also was president of a local teachers union, has been a member of several administrative bargaining teams and has taught courses at the college level (College of the Sequoias and Fresno Pacific College). “I know what a good school looks like, and I’m excited to be a player (in making that happen),” he said. McQuary and Barnett have been

working together for months to ensure a smooth transition in the school district leadership. “We wanted to make sure that I could catch all the balls that got thrown in the air,” said McQuary of Barnett’s tutelage. “There’s a few projects we’re (Subdistrict C’s) still working on, he’s (Barnett’s) still a player and we’re teaming together: It was a great handoff.” McQuary applauded Barnett as a “singular voice on the board” and for being passionate about his role, noting “he’s accomplished a great deal.” McQuary pointed out SDUSD continues to face a funding dilemma, given that the state of California, during its current fiscal crisis, has slashed education funding. “We’re getting 50 percent less funding from the state than 10 years ago and have about the same number of students,” noted McQuary, adding, “Any business would be challenged to take a 50 percent cut and do the same job.” Funding cuts have forced the SDUSD board to “make tough decisions,” said McQuary in carrying out the district’s “Vision 2020,” a long-term strategy for moving the district forward. “We’re implementing that (Vision 2020) with excellent instruction in every classroom and quality schools in every neighborhood with the high expectation of being the best school district in the United States,” McQuary said, adding the district’s vision needs to be extended even further. “We need to make sure students in the district are globally competitive, making sure students are multilingual and multicultural,” he said. McQuary pledged to “work to make a difference” as a school district board member. “We need to take the funding we

MIKE McQUARY get and spend it more wisely as well as having greater transparency and accountability,” he said. Subdistrict C’s new leader said SDUSD also needs to redouble its efforts to involve the public in its decision making. “We need to be more collaborative in talking to stakeholders to ensure we have ground-up, school-based decision making, ensuring parents and students in our community have the opportunity to state their concerns,” McQuary said. McQuary said the school district ought to extend its efforts out more into the community, suggesting the district should work together with organizations like beautifulPB, which is in the process of implementing an ecodistrict to make the beach community more environmentally sustainable and more pedestrian friendly. For McQuary, leading a school district is all about collaboration. He said his administration will “be an opportunity for all the community players to work together, form partnerships and do collective planning.”

Ask Ask The The Trust Trust & & Estate Estate Attorney Attorney Question:

I read the article “Flu shots: No, thanks—better safe than sorry” in the Dec. 4 issue of The Peninsula Beacon with great dismay. First, there is no evidence to substantiate that Marysue Grivna contracted DEM because she received a flu vaccine. Her parents being ”persuaded” that their daughter contracted the disease from the vaccine is not evidence that she did so; history shows us that people are often persuaded to come to believe things that are not true (Salem witch hunts, Nazi propaganda, climate change deniers, et cetera). Author Martin Jones Westlin tells us “that some 5-20 percent of Americans will get the flu this year despite the shot,” but he fails to explain how vaccines in general work, or that, even though the strains vary from year to year, flu vaccines have to be produced early, before we know exactly what strain is virulent that year, in order to have viable quantities on hand. He even fails to point out the simple

fact, based on the data he presents, that 80-95 percent of Americans who get the flu shot each year will not get the flu. Westlin goes on to give us stories of others who became ill after vaccinations. These types of anecdotal evidence are actually no evidence at all, since their conclusions are not based on any statistically significant data, cannot demonstrate any proven causal relationships and amount to no more than one’s conclusion based on insufficient evidence. “My grandpa smoked all his life and lived to be 100” is not evidence that smoking cigarettes is good for you or that they aren’t carcinogenic. As opposed to presenting the facts from the medical community at large, Westlin chooses to lean on the opinions of a single physician, Sherri Tenpenny, not an epidemiologist, not a pathologist, not even a statistician, but a physician known mostly for denying the efficacy of vaccines. Westlin seems to prefer presenting anecdotes and opinion over facts,

such as that 86 percent of diphtheria cases have been avoided because of the diphtheria vaccine, that polio was eradicated in the U.S. because of the polio vaccine, that smallpox has been eradicated globally because of the smallpox vaccine and that the chickenpox, measles, and mumps that I and all of my peers had as children are now a rarity in the U.S. today because of the MMRV vaccine — and the examples go on. Westlin’s article appears not only to cater to fear mongering but also seems to be representative of irresponsible journalism. One of the greatest barriers to the effectiveness of vaccinations is not the vaccines but that people are persuaded by anecdotes and options to avoid them. Even though everyone is entitled to his own opinions, he is not entitled to his own facts, and he should not mislead people in a direction that could endanger the public health.

The relocation proposal has sparked fear from some residents and planners because they say the pipeline relocation project could pose a serious public-safety threat, adding to parking woes and area traffic congestion, since it is likely to be disruptive. In her written comments to the Navy command on behalf of the planning board, chairwoman Julia Quinn noted there are inconsistencies in the plan doc-

ument, like a discrepancy in two different sections of the document, one of which says the pipeline relocation will entail 5 miles and the other saying only 3.5 miles. “This inconsistency in project descriptions has ramifications on the impacts to transportation/circulation along Rosecrans Street and needs to be addressed in a revised DEA that is circulated for public review,” said Quinn, adding the document “does not address how access along Rosecrans Street and intersecting roads will be maintained during construction, which is required for the public to deter-

At OB's Mixte Communications, everything's new BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON An Ocean Beach entrepreneur has a new company name, a new storefront, a new brand and a new direction. “Empowering nice companies” is the mission statement of Mixte Communications, formerly Jamie Ortiz Communications, which recently set up shop at the corner of Voltaire Street and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. By “nice,” Hampton means socially conscientious and environmentally aware. “Nice companies are those that are working to make our world a better place, ones that invest in our local community,” she said, adding that “nice” also refers to companies that employ quality, caring people. With Mixte, Hampton is putting her company where her ideals are. “We do a lot of health- and environment-related stuff,” noted Hampton, who moved from Portland to OB 11 years ago. She was previously employed as communications director at San Diego Coastkeeper, an environmental watchdog group. Hampton has since branched into communications consulting for several environmental nonprofits. Today, with four full-time staff and a fifth on the way, Mixte runs the communication departments of three large organizations and executes creative thinking and media relations for several local businesses. Hampton’s client list includes American Council on Exercise, Barons Market, Environmental Health Coalition, Father Joe’s Village/St. Vincent de Paul Village, San Diego Bike Coalition, San Diego Coastkeeper and The Wine Pub. Hampton said Mixte is “based on doing business the right way, with good people who want nice things for their communities. They're grounded on sim-

ple principles that meet at the intersection of local business, community, environmental protection, social equity, healthy living and fun.” About her company’s rebranded name, Hampton said, "The vision for this company — and the foundation of all we believe — began on bikes, so the name Mixte — a classic step-through bicycle frame — says it all in one word. Bicycles represent something we love and symbolize every piece of business we represent." Hampton noted the idea for Mixte came as an epiphany during a self-supported bicycle trip through Turkey. “I had a lot of time to think about what I was doing, and I saw an opportunity to help my work, to help more people,” she said. “So I came up with this business idea to work part-time as a consultant and also pick up more environmental clients so that I could bring my environmental communications experience to more organizations in San Diego.” An ardent bicyclist, Hampton opted to go virtually car-free and rely on her bike for transportation to save money for a year after first moving to San Diego. “After a year came and went, I didn’t want to go back,” she said. “I lost weight, and it was fun and healthy, so now I just commute by bike, and I really enjoy it, and it makes me happy.” Her staff follows suit, riding bicycles, working from home, sharing office space with clients and colleagues and volunteering while shopping local. Hampton said Mixte is a hybrid company blending elements of different fields. “We’re a public relations / communications company,” she said. “We don’t focus as much on media relations and social media, the tradi-

JAMIE HAMPTON tional aspects of PR, but more on communications. We fill the role of communications directors for many of our clients.” The communications entrepreneur said she’s excited about having a physical presence in OB, where she lives, and looks forward to collaborating with Peninsula residents offering them space at her offices where “the community can gather.” For more information, visit http://gomixte.com.

tion under the proposed project would occur on the portion of pipeline that runs from Naval Base Point Loma to Lytton Street, “where the majority of anomalies have been found during past inspections.” However, the assessment does not identify the precise locations of identified anomalies. If the Navy pipeline realignment is approved, the project would be put out to bid and awarded during fiscal year 2015. The project is anticipated to have a twoyear timeline, finishing sometime during 2016-17, the Navy said.

phase,” she said. “Delays in emergency response vehicles could result in loss of life and property and is an impact that has not been addressed in the DEA.” Quinn said the lack of a fleshed-out traffic control plan in the DEA is a glaring omission. “The DEA should contain the traffic control plan at this time to justify the conclusion in the DEA that impacts to transportation and circulation will be less than significant,” Quinn wrote in her letter on behalf of the board. According to the assessment, the first portion of the pipeline repair and reloca-

The Lane Field hotel project, under construction at North Harbor Drive at Broadway, is a prominent site known for being the first home of the San Diego Padres. It will feature 17 floors, 400 rooms and a swimming pool in addition to 27,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. The new 24,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor Cohn chain Harbor Island restaurant will feature a banquet room and floating platform, connected to land by gangways.The complex takes the place of the iconic paddlewheel-style restaurant Reuben E. Lee.

Though the Peninsula won’t be included in the initial rollout of bike share beginning Oct. 30 in downtown San Diego, six locations in Liberty Station, and four in Ocean Beach, are approved and ready to go. Another nine bike share sites are proposed but not confirmed pending Port of San Diego approval in Harbor and Shelter islands, said DecoBike spokeswoman Kristen McDade Byrne. Liberty Station locations are: on Historic Decatur Road between Dewey Road and Chauncey Street; two on Truxton Road between Womble Road and Roosevelt Road; one on Cushing Road between Farragut and Womble roads; one on Laning Road by Hollywood Suites; and one by the Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road. Bike share sites in OB are: on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and Newport Avenue; on Santa Monica Avenue between Cable and Bacon streets; one on Newport Avenue close to the beach by Abbot Street; and one on Spray Street at Brighton Avenue near Dog Beach. “We’re going to launch in downtown San Diego with approved sites on Oct. 30 and expansion later,” said McDade Byrne. She also noted that it’s uncertain exactly when outlying areas like PB and the Peninsula will be brought online. McDade Byrne said getting the initial downtown bike share locations up and running “will take weeks, not months.” Nicole Burgess, a Peninsula planner and Council District 2’s bike spokesperson, said the advent of bike share is a real positive development. “Neighborhoods can provide support and input for bike share locations, which will help bike share to become successful throughout our city,” Burgess said. “I hope all residents will take advantage of this transportation option and look forward to seeing more riders enjoying the beauties and benefits of com-

muting by bike in San Diego.” Burgess noted bike share is a “wonderful transportation option” for residents and tourists alike, adding “DecoBike is working with community groups to best meet the needs of residents.” DecoBike has released a map of bikeshare-station locations that will be installed for their launch on its website at DecoBikeSanDiego.com. The electronic map includes more than 100 sites that have been approved to date. DecoBike said it's continuing to work with property owners and the community on remaining sites that will complete the network of 180 bike-sharing stations. In 2013, DecoBike signed a 10-year contract with the city to create a citywide network of 180 bike-share stations for short-term rentals. DecoBike stations will be located in communities from Pacific Beach to San Ysidro, providing a robust network that will give the public a viable and environmentally friendly transportation choice. The convenience of being able to rent a bike at one location and drop it off at another encourages bicycling as a mode of travel rather than relying on cars. Bike share users pay an access fee — daily, monthly or annually — that allows them to freely remove a bike from the station for up to 30 minutes at a time. If the bike is not returned to a station within 30 minutes, the user must also pay an overage fee, which is usually charged in 30-minute increments. The daily access fee in San Diego reportedly will be $15. The overage fee will be $5. The annual membership fee in San Diego is $125 (the first 1,500 members will pay only $99). San Diego’s bike share program will be entirely funded by user revenues. The program will operate year-round.

grant,” said Nelson, adding, “Lots of good things are happening at our school during our centennial celebration of education excellence.” Nelson noted most computers throughout San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) are PCs. “Our kids will now be ‘cross-trained’ with IBM/PCs in the classroom with netbooks, and then each week they will be learning MAC OS in the computer lab to complement our iPads purchased by our Loma Portal Foundation (parent fundraising association),” she said. “I'm in the process of finding out exactly how long it will take to order and deploy the Macs on campus.” Kids really need the technical skills a computer lab can teach, said Nelson, adding the school’s existing computers are “really old” and constantly breaking down, requiring students often to “double up on terminals,” spending much of their time getting them to work rather than using them to learn. Nelson said she got involved in grant writing because it was a void that needed to be filled. “No one was writing grants the last two years, so I started,” she said, noting funds are needed in the elementary school “to fill in gaps” for things SDUSD no longer pays for. And the education grants continue to keep flowing in to the Point Loma Elementary School. Most recently, Nelson said, Loma Portal was notified of its qualifying for yet a third windfall: a community grant for the creation of an outdoor classroom/ native habitat garden. “It’s a landscape design award from the San Diego Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, to put together a native habitat at the school,” Nelson said. “This grant is going toward moving that project along.” For more information about Loma Portal, visit the school’s website at sandi.net/lomaportal.

CHRISTMAS IN OB

THURSDAY · DECEMBER 18, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Doing the Right Thing in OB Toys for Tots, the Salvation Army Toy Drive, the St. Jude House Campaign, and so many more: These wonderful organizations outdo themselves every season with their compassion for those less fortunate and their fervent desire to help build better lives. That's why the annual OB Food & Toy Drive is no less important on the popular landscape – it localizes the theme of selflessness and caring for which its larger counterparts are famous the world over. The bigger lesson isn't lost on the residents of Ocean Beach, legendary

areawide for their helping hands and their creativity in finding ways to lend a shoulder. This year, in fact, the OB Town Council came up with a twist to its annual silent auction to benefit the drive: On Dec. 4, it auctioned off the original Ocean Beach entryway sign, on the neighborhood's far west side! The town council and Supervisor Ron Roberts replaced the sign earlier this year amid termite and weather damage – so somebody walked off with a little piece of OB history, termites at no extra charge. The proceeds benefit more than 80

underprivileged families and children across the community, with the OB Tree Committee sponsoring the event. The group assembles care packages and new gifts and toys, and volunteers spend a week meeting to sort the goods and get them delivered. The event is in full swing, ending Dec. 19 – but If you'd like to donate to the drive or volunteer your time, contact the OB Town Council through its website (obtowncouncil.org) or call them at (619) 5154400. The drive is held at the OB Masonic Hall, 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. Off-street parking is available.

A.L. Jacobs & Sons celebrates 78th anniversary A family legacy continues into the third generation in Point Loma Longtime San Diegans remember the locally owned A. L. Jacobs and Sons Jewelers, which was founded in downtown San Diego. In 1937, after managing another local jewelry store, A. L. Jacobs, Sr. opened his own store. With the help of his growing family, the store had two locations on Fifth Avenue. In 1960, the store moved to its third location at the corner of Seventh and C Streets. In 1982, the store moved to its final downtown location at the corner of Seventh and B Streets. Third generation family member Chris Jacobs, born and raised in Point Loma, joined the family business in 1975. Chris closed the last downtown location in 1996 and travelled nationally and internationally buying and selling estate jewelry over the next seven years.

Valuing education, Chris earned the title of Graduate Gemologist (in residence from the Gemological Institute of America in 1977), is a Certified Senior Member of the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers and a Senior Accredited Gemologist with the Accredited Gemologists Association. He also has a Certified Gemological Laboratory from the AGA. Celebrating the store’s 78th anniversary, Chris Jacobs continues the family’s legacy of providing fine quality jewelry to fit all budgets. A. L. Jacobs and Sons Jewelers provides expert repair of jewelry, watches and clocks, watch battery replacement, along with a complete jewelry appraisal service. They also buy unwanted gold, silver, diamonds and jewelry, including sterling silver flatware and hollowware.

How Resistance Training Can Reverse the Aging Process Human aging is associated with a loss of muscle mass, a deficit in muscle strength and impairment in performing some activities of daily livings. Typically these changes start to occur at about age 40 and progressively worsen with aging. Sarcopenia can be defined as natural, age related loss of muscle mass, strength and muscle function. 7% of adults over 70 years old and 20% over 80 are affected by very debilitating sarcopenia. Causes are multifactorial, with theories and research suggesting it is related to oxidative stress, cell death, inflammation and inactivity. Resistance training with older populations as been shown to reduce markers of oxidative stress and increase antioxidant enzyme activity. Melov and colleagues (2007) investigated whether resistance training actually affects some of the gene expression associated with muscle aging; thus reversing the aging process. There was muscle biopsy testing pre- and post-study of 596 differentially expressed genes. After 26 weeks 179 of the 596 genes showed a reversal of their gene expression. This means quite literally that the resistance training was not only slowing but also reversing the aging process at the gene level. Seniors now have evidence on a molecular level that progressive resistance training can reverse aspects of aging at the gene level. The top five training tips for mature clients are as follows: Learn correct lifting mechanics. Educate yourself/learn concept of progressive overload. Pain free range of motion with controlled joint movements with all exercises. Ensure breathing patterns remain normal. Begin with minimal training loads (letting joint/connective tissue to adjust to training loads). Again, weight training, even just 2x/week is an essential part of a total wellness program. Weight training can 1) Change your body 2) Boost your mood 3) Keep you looking younger. Other benefits include: improving muscle tone, bone density, athletic performance and strength (about 30 to 50% more after 3 to 6 months of training). Resistance training is essential for weight loss or preventing weight gain. Since muscle burns an estimated 3x more calories than fat, adding two to four pounds of muscle can translate in an extra 100 calories burned each day. A high intensity strength

routine has been shown to bump metabolism by 20% for several hours post workout. Does yoga or Pilates count as resistance training? Devotees of these disciplines say that they get all the lean muscle they need form their chosen teachings, but experts disagree “you will build some muscle with yoga poses that have you supporting your body weight against gravity, but eventually you’ll reach a plateau and will need to add weights or some other form of resistance. Reformer training offers pro-

gressive resistance, but they at least partially support your body weight, so you won’t get the same weightbearing benefits of many standing strength exercises. For more information on supervised resistance training please contact: Greg Sterner, Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist in Physical Therapy, San Diego Sports Physical Therapy, 2750 Dewey Rd.

and the RFP was canceled, noted Glorioso. Funding for SDUSD and YMCA to jointly explore creating new pools city- and countywide comes from voterapproved Proposition Z, passed in 2012 to fund capital improvement projects at district-owned schools. In an effort to provide a quality school in every neighborhood, the district is using Proposition Z funds to repair, renovate and revitalize district schools. Bond projects include classroom technology; safety and security upgrades; Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades; new/renovated facilities for College, Career and Technical Education facilities; temporary classrooms replaced by permanent classrooms; air conditioning; ADA upgrades and improvements to athletic facilities; turf fields; and other capital improvements at district and charter schools throughout the district.

Currently, the district has only one swimming pool (at La Jolla High School) which was built with private funds. There is a significant need for swimming pool facilities to serve district sports teams as well as for neighborhood recreational uses. In recent years, there have been significant cuts in the operational hours of municipal pools. Pool operations and maintenance require significant ongoing funds, which San Diego Unified does not have and is unlikely to have in the foreseeable future. The pool RFP states the city is seeking a concessionaire to provide an aquatic center on the former NTC site for the use and benefit of the general public. The proposed site design calls for an aquatic center complex with a 50-meter pool, a 25-meter instruction pool and a family area with interactive water-play elements. The pool plan also includes locker rooms, offices, restrooms, storage and a concession stand. RFPs for the proposed new Liberty Station pool were required to include a conceptu-

al plan for the property along with any proposed changes or additions to the existing facilities. Among other things, proposals had to offer a preliminary site and floor plan; a program plan providing a description of planned programs/activities and/or services, including hours of operation, proposed fees and charges; a financing plan; and assurances that the applicant can provide the necessary fixtures and equipment needed to provide aquatic center services. Concern has been expressed by some that, regardless of who ultimately builds and operates the new NTC pool, that it would not be big enough. Some have said the pool should be 50 meters, not 25 meters, in order for it to be truly considered a world-class aquatic complex with the capability of hosting competitive events. The city’s NTC Pool RFP is being handled by the city’s Real Estate Assets Division.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE 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

Wildlife photographer Mangelsen has seen it all; now you can too BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

He's taken some four million photographs of animals in their natural states – and wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelsen’s new book, “The Last Great Wild Places,” is a compendium of the finest work from one of the most prolific and award-winning nature photographers of our time. “It’s a 40-year retrospective,” said Mangelsen, 69, who was in town recently at his Images of Nature Gallery at 7916 Girard Ave., one of eight Mangelsen galleries nationwide. “It includes all my classic images from the beginning to very recently.” The Grand Island, Neb.-born photographer, the son of a 5-and-dime store owner, grew up on the American plains hunting and observing wildlife. His hands-on approach in part explains his uncanny ability to capture candid wildlife photographs. “I rely heavily on my experience to put me in the right place at the right time and watch for the right moment,” he said. Like the picture on Eastern Africa's Serengeti Plain of a pride of lions sauntering toward him on a dirt road. “I was in a Land Rover early in the morning, and lions, 20 or 30 of all different age groups, were coming out of the marsh towards the road,” he said. “I realized this was kind of a cool shoot because you could see all their legs coming right at us, the whole man-versus-lion thing.” Noting he didn’t get his first camera

Renowned wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelsen says man-versus-lion shoots are Courtesy photo “cool.”

until he was 23 (extremely late for a photographer), Mangelsen added his avocation “just started out as fun and grew into a profession.” He's captured rare moments and vast panoramas during photographic shoots on all seven continents, from shots of Arctic polar bears to images from the deep jungles of South America to pictures of the tigers of India to shots revealing the diversity of wildlife in the

American West. Mangelsen talked about his art, wildlife conservation, climate change and future destinations, saying there’s a method to his madness in choosing locales. “I try to choose new places every year and go back to old haunts I’ve become familiar with and fell in love SEE PHOTOG, Page 20

THURSDAY · DECEMBER 18, 2014 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Let's all enjoy daily commutes to school and work by foot or bike BY NICOLE BURGESS | THE BEACON Many of you know me from traveling throughout the community by bike; my name is Nicole Burgess, and I am passionate about bikes and being outdoors in this beautiful city. I am an advocate for our youth and for active transportation, and I'm hopeful that more people will be inspired to hop on a bike or take a walk and enjoy their community by actively commuting to their destinations. I am excited to be able to represent District 2 for the City’s newly formed Bicycle Advisory Committee, and I appreciate all the support. Along with other great active transportation leaders throughout our city, we look forward to supporting San Diego in its quest to become a world-class biking city. The Dana Bike Train is on course for its sixth year of success. This year, we are seeing a large increase of fifth and sixth graders taking charge and enjoying their commute to school by bike or foot. It’s fun and easy to find friends in the neighborhood who also enjoy walking or riding to school. Meanwhile, studies show that students benefit and do better in school if they have some form of physical activity prior to learning, and adults do better

with, like the Serengeti,” he said, adding he’ll be returning to the Serengeti in early 2015. “The more you go back to a place, the better you know it,” said Mangelsen, adding he also returns to spots he feels have great potential for getting shots he missed or would like to get. “The Earth is a big place. I’ll never live long enough to get to all of my bucket list,” he said, adding, “It keeps getting

at work if they get a little morning fitness to begin their day. There are many students that walk and roll to Correia and Point Loma schools as well. Don’t be fooled; it is actually very cool to bike and walk to school. Being fit, feeling energized and protecting our environment should be a cool thing. Imagine if the students on the Peninsula commuted by bike or foot; there would be much less vehicular traffic to worry about, and we would be surrounded by energized and smiling students engaging and enjoying their community. There is also the benefit of more time for parents, more independent children, less money on car expenses and stronger and healthier children; athletes will only benefit with the extra cross-fit training with an active commute. This is beautiful San Diego, and every reasonable commute can and should be enjoyed by bike. You'll feel great and ready to go when you reach your destination while protecting and enjoying the outdoors. The benefits to all are so rewarding. Here are a list of bike trains and walking school busses on the Peninsula, which I welcome all to join.

bigger.” But Mangelsen’s interest in wildlife extends well beyond photography. He’s become a passionate conservationist who’s befriended others campaigning for preservation of wildlife and their habitats, like Jane Goodall, who wrote a foreword to his new book. “Twenty-five thousand elephants a year are being poached, mostly for trinkets,” Mangelsen said, adding the same fate is befalling a thousand or more rhinoceri a year, slain for their horns, which are purported to have aphrodisiac qualities. Mangelsen pooh-pooh'd this

Bike Trains to Dana Middle: Ocean Beach Elementary at 7:45 a.m.; Long Branch and Guizot at 8:10 a.m.; Park Point Loma at 8:10 a.m.; Thursday Club at 8:20 a.m. Walking School Bus to Dana Middle: Point Loma Hervey Library at 8:30 a.m.; Midblock Coronado between Catalina and Chatsworth at 8:30 a.m. For those of you who choose the vehicle as your means of transportation, I hope you will find patience and respect for the growing number of young cyclists among the Peninsula and throughout San Diego.

as “just a stupid myth.” Global warming is something Mangelsen has observed firsthand. “I’ve seen city-block-long glaciers in Antarctica that are half the size they were five years ago,” he said, adding one of his favorite photographic subjects – polar bears – are disappearing from much of their current habitat in the Arctic because ice is disappearing. “They (bears) have to have ice to hunt seals who haul out, who are 90 percent of their diet,” Mangelsen said. “If the ice is gone, seals are gone, the polar bears are gone. It’s very simple.”

Speaking of polar bears, Mangelsen spoke of a wildlife shoot he was on with the late Spence Wilson, who operated the downtown theater The Cove, which many La Jollans of today remember. “Spence saved our lives,” he concluded, noting Wilson’s observational skills as he stood watch with the Navy for enemy subs during World War II. “I was with a National Geographic crew photographing a polar bear mother and her cubs, and a whiteout snowstorm just came up out of nowhere,” Mangelsen said. “I didn’t see them. Spence did and waived his arms (to warn

us). There was a polar bear coming, stalking us very intently, and we grabbed our gear and pulled the (truck) ladder up just before the polar bear got there.” Asked when — or even if — he’ll retire, Mangelsen, who lives near Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, answered, “Just when I die,” adding, “I’d like to die in the field.” To order Mangelsen’s new book, or for more information about him or his galleries, visit www.mangelsen.com.
