Myriad California laws cut new teeth Changes abound for smokers, bullies, gun fans, workers BY PATRICIA WALSH | BEACH & BAY PRESS Fasten your seats belts (properly) and leave those unloaded handguns at home. A slew of new state laws that took effect Jan. 1 are sure to make life’s ride a little more interesting in 2012. What’s in: recycling for renters and revised standards for use of car seats for children. What’s out: smoking for renters, open carry of unloaded handguns and self-service check out of alcohol at retail stores. In the realm of technology, out-ofstate online businesses will be subject to a California use tax, and digital readers won’t have to worry about Big Brother watching. California will also become more equal for all with a gay-bullying law and a gay history law — the first state law of its kind in the nation. Animals are also the source of greater protection, with laws shielding sharks and cracking down on abusive pet owners. Every employer and employee will want to read the fine print of a compendium of new workplace-related laws that will help the world’s eighthlargest economy going for another year.

Among the new state laws that took effect Jan. 1 was legislation mandating landlords provide recycling options for renters. File photo

While the owner and manager of The French Gourmet Restaurant were placed on probation for hiring undocumented workers on multiple occasions, the Pacific Beach restaurant was fined nearly $387,000 on Dec. 22 by a federal judge. Owner Michel Francois Malecot and manager Richard Kauffmann, both 59, dodged jail time from U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Whelan, even though Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Kanter had asked that Malecot and Kauffmann get six and four months in prison, respectively. Kauffmann and the Turquoise Street restaurant pleaded guilty Oct. 13 to hiring 10 illegal immigrants. Malecot pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of continuing to employ undocumented workers since first being raided by

authorities in the 1990s. The families and friends of both defendants filled the courtroom. After the court hearing, Malecot, flanked by his supporters, was asked by a television reporter if he was satisfied with the sentence. “Well, yes, I don’t really have the choice. I wish it would have never happened,” said Malecot. His lawyer, Eugene Iredale, said Malecot was “too generous, too compassionate to pull the trigger on people who had been working for him for five, for six or eight years.” “I think the judge did an excellent job … and came to a decision that was fair and just,” said Iredale, who noted the restaurant now employs “100 U.S. citizens,” including part timers.

Home sweet home: pride in their Victorian house

OB ITUARY

Leo Esparza, 59, Navy veteran, contractor

BY MARSHA KAY SEFF | BEACH & BAY PRESS The house on the slope of Mount Soledad looks like it’s right out of a movie. And, the owners say, there’s a reason for that. The shell was designed by the late Bill Bloom, a family friend who once helped construct Hollywood sets. The house started out in 1941 as a twobedroom, one-bath, stucco beach cottage. Years later, new owners added a dining room and a second story with two more bedrooms. In 1973, when Judy and Ray Bezverkow moved there with their two children, “It was nondescript and kind of boxy,” said Judy. Ray agreed. “A box within a box,” Ray said. They wanted something with more flair, something that would go with their antiques, Judy said. So, in 1982, Bloom designed what Judy refers to as a “casual Victorian,” obliterating the original style and even the first remodel as seen from the street. The façade is paneled in natural shiplap cedar and festooned with some simple “gingerbread.” There are eight stainedglass windows, some crafted by Ray and others by Judy’s dad, William “Buck” Litton. The second floor is topped with a turret room and a gazebo with a giant wooden birdhouse on top. But it attracted so many birds, which made such a mess, that the Bezverkows have closed it off. Also looking out from the rooftop is a 3½-foot woodcarving of a man, which the couple purchased on a motor-home trip. The statue traveled with them all the way to Canada and back — in their shower. Inside the home, in a porch turned foyer, is a sun-bleached 1982 certificate from the Pacific Beach Town Council for an “Outstanding Contribution to the Community.” Judy said she enjoys hanging

Born June 8, 1952 in Pomona, Leo Antonio Esparza, of Pacific Beach passed away Dec. 4, 2011, after a valiant fight against leukemia (AML). He was 59. Though shorter in span than some, Leo lived a full life, having spent time in the Philippines with the Navy, in Micronesia as a nuclear plant employee and in San Diego as a supervisor for the power plant at LEO ANTONIO ESPARZA the UCSD Medical Center. After receiving his general contracting license, Leo planned, designed and built a home for himself

and his family in Pacific Beach. Leo enjoyed surfing in both the mornings and evenings at Tourmaline Surf Park, paddling with his Kanaka outrigger canoe club all throughout California and proudly displaying his vast collection of Hawaiian shirts. Born to Leon and Antonia Esparza, Leo is survived by his wife, Susanne; loving children, Iva and Reuben, as well as his wonderful siblings Diane, Susie, Monica and Paul; and mother Antonia Esparza. Leo’s warm smile and drive to help others brought him many friends. He will be sorely missed. A memorial service was held Dec. 17 at the Clairemont Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Diego.

out at the window in her mother’s antique barber chair. The house is filled with antiques the couple has collected at area auctions, including an ornate, carved-wood fireplace mantle in the living room. Although the home’s expansive view of the bay and ocean has been partially eclipsed by new development and old trees, the Bezverkows believe it’s still impressive. You might say they have a bird’s-eye view from the gazebo, where they often enjoy dinner during the summer. One of few downsides to their hillside address, the couple said, is that they must back their cars onto an increasingly busy street, where drivers still gawk at the unusual house. Judy has watched the beach area mature. She’s a San Diego native who grew up in Crown Point. Her dad spearheaded the development of Dana Landing, and her mother has lived west of

Interstate 5 for 60 years. Ray is from Detroit. The couple met in the 11th grade at Mission Bay High School. “But I thought we would never be a couple because of our difference in height,” Judy said. She’s 5-foot-8 and he’s 5-foot-2 (“and a quarter inch,” her husband of 47 years adds). He’s a retired engineer, who also was a manager of a software and development company. Judy, a stay-at-home mom, ran the couple’s investment rentals. The couple still celebrates Christmas at the home with their adult children and two granddaughters. The Bezverkows know they are home “when we smell the ocean air.” After almost four decades, Judy said they will never move. “I can’t imagine living anyplace else,” she said. Besides, “I’ve collected too much junk over the years; we can’t move.”

Ask The Lawyer

What is the proper way to list the beneficiaries on my IRAs? When you open an IRA you fill Answer: out a form and you list one or more Beneficiaries. If you have not reviewed these Beneficiary Designations Forms lately, you should do so now. If you fail to list a beneficiary or if they have died, the asset is part or your estate and may be subject to probate. You Virginia Weber want to avoid this court procedure. Laskowitz The best way to list the beneficiaries is to TRUST LAWYER name an individual or list of individuals. If the spouse is the appropriate beneficiary, it is best to list them as the beneficiary. The spouse can rollover the IRA into their own IRA. Other individuals can rollover the IRA into an inherited IRA, but they will be required to take a yearly minimum distribution. This amount is based on the beneficiaries’ life expectancy and the financial institution will figure it out for you. In certain circumstances you can name a trust as a beneficiary and it can get the same rollover treatment. Check with your financial institution and your estate planning attorney. The benefit of a rollover IRA is that the funds can continue to have tax deferred treatment. The interest income and dividends will not be taxed until the money is taken out of the IRA. Now I have a question for you– Have you funded your Roth IRA yet?

NEWS PB nostalgia group forms to bind memories of local life NEWSBRIEFS

B E A C H & B AY P R E S S | J A N U A R Y 5 , 2 0 1 2

BY MARSHA KAY SEFF | BEACH & BAY PRESS On the playground, Martha Farnum Elementary School kids used to call themselves “toads” and their rivals in La Jolla “snobs.” The playground slang is one of the childhood memories a small group of Pacific Beach residents recalled at a recent meeting of the newly formed Pacific Beach nostalgia group called You Know You’re from Pacific Beach When … Farnum Elementary was the topic for the evening, although some of the participants went to Kate Sessions Elementary School. The meeting took place at the Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library on Cass Street, where the school actually stood from 1953 to 1983. After that, Mission Bay Montessori took it over for two years. The building was razed in 1996 and replaced by the neighborhood library the following year. As the members of YKYFPBW chatted about old times with former Farnum third- and fourth-grade teacher Avis Kay, they passed around class photos. “There’s the kid from France,” said group organizer and former Farnum student Keith Antigiovanni. “He knew all the curse words but he didn’t know what they meant.” There was another photo of a nowmustachioed John Polhamus (then sans facial hair) in Kay’s fourth-grade class. The two hadn’t seen each other since he graduated. Polhamus, a Pacific Beach native, told her he had lived in London for 10 years and was on the West End stage. “But I wasn’t famous or anything,” he said. Antigiovanni, who lives in Pacific Beach and spearheaded the discussion,

also was “Miss Kay’s” student in “Room 9.” “One time, I had a bloody nose in your class and I went to the coat room for paper towels and no one knew,” he admitted to her. Antigiovanni remembers “Miss Kay” as “very regimented.” He said she taught in one pair of shoes and changed to another for physical education. “She turned into another person,” he said. Otto Emme, who also attended the meeting, went to Kate Sessions Elementary. But he said he retains bragging rights because he was born and raised in Pacific Beach. The purpose of the group, which started on Facebook, is “to create an awareness of PB history and nostalgia from the 1940s to today,” said Antigiovanni. “We’re trying to bring the community together so people don’t feel so isolated.” He said it will probably meet quarterly to discuss different topics, which will be posted on Facebook. The community is invited. For details, just type in “You Know You’re from Pacific Beach When” on Facebook. In the 1950s, group members recalled, Farnum was one of five elementary schools that catered to the post-war baby boomers in the beach area. Antigiovanni’s handout shows that the year Farnum opened, Dwight D. Eisenhower was in his first term as president, Goodwin Knight was the governor of California, John Butler was mayor of San Diego and the Padres of the Pacific Coast League played at Lane Field at the harbor. “I was in sixth grade when Kennedy was shot,” said group member Vicki Allen, who attended Kate Sessions.

Antigiovanni responded. “I wasn’t born yet,” said Antigiovanni, who was in fourth grade when the school closed. “I remember some kids cried [when Farnum was shuttered].” Kay said she can’t recall how the Kennedy assassination affected her classroom activities. She can, however, name all the principals she worked with while there. “I was a teacher for 40 years, 23 of them at Farnum,” she said. “Farnum was a wonderful school and the people were great.” For details on the next meeting of the nostalgia group, check Facebook.

The Pacific Beach Community Advisory Committee (PBCAC) — formerly the Special Events Committee — will seek three new at-large members during the group’s Tuesday, Jan. 17 meeting. The nine-member PBCAC consists of two representatives each from the Pacific Beach Town Council, Discover PB and the PB Planning Group, plus three atlarge members to review and advise on special events occurring on Pacific Beach streets. The committee was also repurposed last year to review new alcohol licenses and changes to current licenses. District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer formed the committee in 2006 after problems developed during the final PB Block Party. The committee’s mission is to ensure community input on events. At-large member candidates should present a short biography during the PBCAC meeting at 6 p.m. on Jan. 17 when the committee meets at 1503 Garnet Ave. For more information, call (858) 2733303.

Olive Café: Worth getting up early for PATIO I’M 30 AND, LOVE PB!

CONTINUED FROM Page 1

BY RACHEL HUTMAN | BEACH & BAY PRESS I can’t say enough about breakfast. It really is the best meal of every day. Nothing gets me more excited than breakfast and this café has been recently added to my list of favorites. Olive Café is the best of San Diego rolled into one adorable café and nestled between the bay and beach just south of Pacific Beach. You probably have passed it a bunch of times without noticing it — and that is the best part. Really great cafes are found – located with some digging or spread by word of mouth. The Olive Café itself greets you with a smiling face — from its lattice work to its green umbrellas. When you see it, it’s clear this café is worth exploring. It’s larger than it looks from the outside and the two fireplaces make you feel immediately at home. The counter is stuffed with goodies to break your diet, including brownie lollipops, icing-covered croissants and yummy scones. The breakfast menu at Olive Café features pancakes, scrambled eggs, burritos and French toast. I highly recommend dad’s favorite pancakes, made with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and chocolate chips, then topped with banana slices! The filling acai bowl is also a sure bet, made with granola, chopped fruit and drizzled with honey. The lunch menu includes trusted sandwich favorites like tuna melt, gardenburger, chicken pesto and grilled cheese. Olive Café also offers its own creations like the bagel tower: lettuce, tomato, sprouts, red onion, cucumber and aioli spread on your

The restaurant never closed following a 2008 raid, in which dozens of illegal aliens were arrested. The restaurant was also fined in the 1990s for employing illegal aliens. “We have lost some catering business … because people don’t realize most businesses in San Diego have a certain percentage of illegal aliens,” said Malecot. The owner said he urged owners of other businesses to try to determine whether a potential employee is illegal and use a government verification program. “Cover yourself,” Malecot said. “Don’t just believe (immigration) papers, because they look very real.” Whelan imposed a fine of more than $277,000 on the business, and ordered that more than $109,000 be forfeited to the U.S. government. He also ordered the restaurant to pay $10,000 to one man who suffered a serious burn injury and didn’t seek medical attention initially because he was not in the country lawfully.

choice of bagel; and the sandwich wrap: chicken breast, melted provolone, bacon, lettuce, ranch and Tapatio hot sauce. Anything that is made with Tapatio is a must in my book! The menu stars items that are popular with Olive Café’s friends and family. Breakfast and lunch are served all day at Olive Café, which is great for those people like my husband, who dislikes the best meal of the day (shocking, I know). Kelsi Chappell said she enjoys early morning walks to Olive Café. “I love walking to Olive Café with my son, Rowen, and meeting friends,” she said. “We sit outside and chat, enjoying the beautiful San Diego weather. My son loves the scones and acai bowl, and he’s a picky eater!” Olive Café is open every day from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., but if you’re going on a weekend, get there early, because it does fill up fast. If you do accidentally sleep in later than planned, Olive Café is still worth the wait. Grab a coffee and copy of Beach and Bay Press and make a morning of it. • Olive Café 805 Santa Clara Place (858) 488-1224

“I think it is a sufficient sentence to demonstrate that this can’t just be a cost of doing business,” said Kanter after the hearing. “There will be financial consequences for those companies (who hire illegal aliens). “Just because the defendants in this case wore collared shirts to work and live in La Jolla does not mean they should be treated differently for their violations of the immigration laws.” Iredale filed court papers that showed Malecot was generous with donations to many worthy causes like the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the San Diego Opera and local schools. During the 2003 and 2007 wildfires, Malecot also donated food to emergency workers and shelters. He has owned the Turquoise Street restaurant for 32 years. Kauffmann has worked there for 28 years. Charges of conspiracy and harboring illegal aliens were dismissed. Charges were first filed in April. However, the restaurant received letters in 2005 and 2006 from the Social Security Administration that several employees’ names did not match Social Security numbers.

and a noise complaint involving patrons who were last served at the PB Shore Club on the night of Dec. 10. The expansion has been held up since March 2008, but the PB Shore Club’s ownership steadfastly maintains it has already agreed to a number of restrictions and compromises to get the expansion approved and to ease the concerns of neighbors. Principal PB Shore Club owner Barrett Rinzler could not be reached for comment following the hearing, but he has been quoted as saying his agreement to the restrictions is a “massive show of good faith to the community.” The establishment’s attorney, William Winship, said the PB Shore Club has so far agreed to more restrictions than any other bar on the beach and is at a disadvantage in the summertime because the five nearest bars all have decks — a feature that makes it harder for the PB Shore Club to compete. Restrictions the PB Shore Club has agreed to now include: • Sound that can be heard more than 50 feet away from the premises will be prohibited. • No live music or dancing will be permitted. • All drinking games will be banned. • No pool tables will be allowed. • No amplified sound system will be permitted on the patio. • Food service will be required to continue until closing time. • The practice of selling pitchers of beer will no longer be allowed. • Security will be hired for all hours of operation. • Customers on the deck expansion can’t be served after midnight. Still, critics of the PB Shore Club expansion leveled their own arguments during the ABC hearing, making several points during the testimony. The information, according to detractors, is based on information provided to them by police but not independently confirmed by the Beach & Bay Press: • Pacific Beach has more DUI arrests than any other area in San Diego County. • The general crime rate is five times the citywide average. • The Pacific Beach business district has more than 60 alcohol outlets in an area where only 10 are allowed by state law. As a rule, critics said, alcohol licenses are not granted in an area with high crime or an oversaturation of alcohol outlets. • Addressing alcohol-related problems in Pacific Beach drains police and

the car. The revised California Child Restraint Law, twice vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October. It replaces the old law that required children who were 6 years old or younger — or who weighed at least 60 pounds — to be secured in an appropriate child safety seat or booster seat. The fine for violating the new law (California Vehicle Code section 27360) is $100, plus penalty assessments, which could add up to more than $400. A first offense may be reduced or waived if economic disadvantage is demonstrated. If the fine is reduced, the court will require the violator to attend an education program. The fine for a second or subsequent offense is $250, plus penalties. According the California Highway Patrol, thousands of children are injured or killed every year by safety seats that are improperly fastened by

parents or caretakers. The CHP cautions parents that most collisions occur within a mile of the home. • There is also a change to the standard seat belt law, which defines proper use of seat belts. CVC section 27315 states a driver must be properly clicked in as well. The lap portion of a seat belt must cross the hips and upper thighs of an adult and the shoulder section of a seat belt must cross the chest in front of the occupant. The shoulder portion of the seat belt can’t be tucked under an arm or behind a back. Somewhere consumer crusader Ralph Nader must be celebrating. It’s been a long road since he single-handedly got federal legislation passed in 1966 that required seat belts as a standard feature in cars.

Dale Barkley: an original country boy makes a home in Pacific Beach WHAT’S IN THE AIR, BUD? BY KEVIN DI CICCO | BEACH & BAY PRESS The diverse culture we have here in Pacific Beach always fascinates me. Every day I meet different people from all over the country and the world who call Pacific Beach home. Back in October 1942, a tall, thin 16-year-old “country bumpkin” named Dale Barkley moved from the sticks of Sullivan County in Missouri to 1827 Oliver St. here in our beautiful seaside town. This farm boy, who lived on a 320-acre ranch with no electricity and no radio found himself in an entirely new world. World War II was in full swing and Barkley’s father took work at Convair in San Diego. Barkley and his older sisters were swept up from the middle of nowhere in the Midwest and transplanted to the ever-growing Pacific Beach. It was a transition like none other for Barkley back in the fall of 1942. He was bused over to the fancy La Jolla High School, the only high school for students of Pacific Beach back in the day. Barkley felt out of sorts wearing overalls and was referred to as the “hick from the sticks.” He was also a poor student. His only claim to fame was that he lettered in basketball during his freshman year, which he expressed to then-LJHS head coach Chuck Henson as Barkley checked into gym class. An immediate tryout was arranged for the young, 6-foot Barkley. Barkley’s skill level, however, was no match for the team and, consequently, he did not make the team. Barkley soon realized that he was not going to be the next promising athlete. He took his farming skills and began working

part time for Milton Sessions Nursery, (Milton was the husband of Kate Sessions). Finally, he felt some gratification and a sense of purpose for the 25 cents an hour he made. But by spring of 1944, his father’s employer, Convair, offered the younger Barkley a job as a transient for 66 cents an hour and Dale found himself on a gasoline tanker headed toward New Hubertus, south of the Solomon Islands. By the end of the war, he was back in Pacific Beach, where he became a petty officer and an electrician for the Navy. For the next 20 years, Barkley worked as an engineer on submarines in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. Barkley retired a true, loyal American serviceman with three wars under his belt. But not one to rest on his laurels, Barkley took his electrician skills and was hired on by the San Diego Stadium (now Qualcomm Stadium) as an electrician in the late 1960s. He watched both the Padres and the Chargers in their infancy. He’s lived in several parts of the county and even moved back to the sticks in Missouri for a spell. But Southern California kept calling and he picked up and moved back. Barkley has seen a lot for all of his 85 years and now enjoys his retirement by growing artichokes in his garden and making cabinetry. He served his country with pride and dignity. I personally salute you, Dale Barkley, for your service to this great land of ours, and for making a wonderful addition to our beautiful seaside town — our beloved Pacific Beach. — Kevin Di Cicco is the owner of Buddy the dog, who is best known for his roles in the long string of “Air Bud” movies and his ball-playing skills showcased on popular television shows.

Whale-watching season offers chance to see San Diego in a whole new way BY KENDRA HARTMANN | BEACH & BAY PRESS Every year, San Diego plays host to an event that provides tourists with another reason to envy locals. In addition to beaches and parks and the weather that (sort of) cooperates enough to enjoy them year-round, San Diegans get to take advantage of living in an area boasting incredible biological diversity. One of the most impressive environments in which to see mother nature at her best is that property-value-increasing expanse of blue to the west, and this time of year, it is home to a truly fascinating natural phenomenon. The gray whale migration is once again upon us. To provide a first-hand account of what one can expect when becoming an amateur whale watcher for an afternoon, The Beach & Bay Press took to the high seas aboard the Hornblower Adventure to observe the California gray whale as the species makes its annual 5,000-mile journey from the frigid waters of the Arctic to the sunny lagoons of Baja California. The most obvious thing one expects to see on a whale-watching cruise is a whale. This, however, may not happen, and most local companies — Hornblower included — prepare for this with a guarantee: see a whale or get passes for another cruise. Upon boarding the boat, most passengers anxiously anticipate the sight they’ve been promised, hoping they haven’t just paid for one of the few cruises for which the whales choose not to make an appearance. What most don’t expect, however, is what also happens while on board: they have fun, whale or no whale (some might even find themselves hoping they don’t see a whale so they have a free chance to come on board again). As it turns out, our oceans are chock full of life, and passengers would be hard pressed not to find themselves marveling

Passengers aboard a Hornblower cruise watch as a whale shows off its fluke, or tail. During the first half of the migration season, gray whales use a migration corridor closer to the coast, so cruises only go out about five miles. During the latter half, whales migrate back up to the Courtesy photo Arctic further out and cruises may venture up to 12 miles off the coast to view them.

at all the myriad components of our aquatic ecosystems, however large or small. At one point during our cruise, a pod of bottlenose dolphins decided to join us, riding our bow wave — jumping out of the water, turning in circles and spiraling alongside us for a couple of miles. And while, yes, “whale watching” was printed on our tickets, we were pretty satisfied with this display, whether or not it was the cetacean we had paid for. Another pleasant surprise: even for locals, puttering around San Diego Bay and out into the open ocean just off our coast provided an unexpected opportunity to view the city in a way we don’t normally see it. As for our cruise, we did get the opportunity to see a whale. Not long after we passed through the last buoy marking the bay, the captain spotted a spout a few miles out. We followed it, and were able to find and stay with one gray whale (or

possibly two — they look remarkably alike to the layperson), which twice granted us full view of its fluke (or tail) as it headed down for deep dives. We learned, both from the captain and from the on-board volunteer naturalists — trained by the San Diego Museum of Natural History — that gray whales breed every other year, and with a gestation of 12 months, the pregnant females heading down to Mexico at this time of year are likely the same ones we saw last year heading down to breed. They’ll come back this way in the spring with their newborns. We also learned the gray whale gets its namesake not from a naturally occurring color. In fact, the whales are born almost black, but eventually, barnacles that attach themselves to the whales scar the skin as they fall off, leaving behind a mottled, whitish-gray coloration. Whales also have dominant sides of

their body, just like humans. Whales that favor their right side tend to have more scarring on that side of their body, and just like humans, “left-handed” whales are in the minority: roughly 15 percent of whales favor their left side. There’s also the possibility, while out on a whale-watching cruise, that passengers might observe some man-made “whales.” Our ship happened upon a helicopter carrier and a Navy submarine — complete with a visibly happy, homeward-bound topside crew — cruising into the bay. The views will change for each individual cruise. Some may see one whale, some may see 20 whales and others may see none at all. Some might encounter pods of playful dolphins while others might happen upon frisky sea lions. But one thing is guaranteed: the experience gives locals one more reason to love calling San Diego home.

The Sandbar offers the perfect place to get beached for NFL postseason BY WALTER RUSKIN | BEACH & BAY PRESS

The Sandbar will conduct a football pool on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5, for its guests. The proceeds benefit the Junior Lifeguards of San Diego program.

The postseason has just started at The Sandbar Sports Grill! Football’s regular season is over and, unfortunately, the Chargers will not be in the playoffs. However, The Sandbar, located at 718 Ventura Place in Mission Beach (right across the street from Belmont Park), still has all the postseason action you can handle. For the last 17 weeks, patrons of

The Sandbar have been in a heavy competition to prove who has the best fan attendance on Sundays. That’s right, the names of fans who have frequented the Sandbar on Sundays the most number of times during the regular season were put into drawing to win a 50-inch flat-screen television or a new iPad. The winner will be announced on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5. Apparently, 46 potential winners

are in the running. You may be wondering, “If the Chargers aren’t in the playoffs, why should I even go to The Sandbar during the playoffs?” Well, here’s the reason. It can pay off to watch the playoff games at The Sandbar — and pay off big. During the afternoon playoff games, there will be a raffle between SEE SANDBAR, Page 11

each quarter for one of several outstanding prizes. If there are going to be a total of 10 playoff games and half of those games will be played in the afternoon, that’s five games with a minimum of four quarters each. That means there are 20 chances for you to win huge and exciting prizes that you will not have the chance to win if you stay at home waiting for next season. But wait! There’s more! As if the Super Bowl and THE big drawing weren’t exciting enough, The Sandbar hosts its annual Glutton Bowl at Halftime! What is a Glutton Bowl? I had to ask, too. It’s the superest eating contest in all of San Diego. (Yes, you read

that right. It is the superest, because saying “most super” is not as much fun and eating contests are fun!) The winner gets a door prize and a bottle of antacid. In addition to all this, The Sandbar also gives you a chance to get some betting action on the Super Bowl. But gambling is illegal! So, how it this possible? Well, here’s how it is done: First, you donate a dollar to the Junior Lifeguards of San Diego program. As a thank you, you are given a square on a football pool chart (each square representing a number from 1 to 10, for Teams A and B). At the end of each quarter, the last number of both teams’ scores are considered the winner. So, if the score is “Team A” 14 points to “Team B’s” seven, the person who has a square for “Team A” four and “Team B” seven is the winner. The winner receives a gift card to his or her newest and most favorite

bar — The Sandbar, of course! A note for those of you planning to hibernate until next season: during the regular season, The Sandbar has a contest called “The Best Seat In The House.” You buy a raffle ticket (with all proceeds again going to the Junior Lifeguards program), and if you win, you get to pick any table at The Sandbar and get a remote to change the channel to any game you wish. I can’t wait until next year, because if I win, I hope the Jets are playing the Raiders so I can change the channel to “Heidi.” For more information, call (858) 488-1274, or visit www.sandbar-sportsgrill.com.

MIND, BODY & SOUL Recognizing the need for outside help in caregiving Caregivers often don’t recognize when they are in over their heads, and often get to a breaking point. After a prolonged period of time, caregiving can become too difficult to endure any longer. Short-term, the caregiver can handle it. Longterm, support is needed. Outside help at this point is often necessary. A typical pattern with an overloaded caregiver may unfold as follows:

• 1 to 18 months--the caregiver is confident, has everything under control and is coping well. Other friends and family are lending support. • 20 to 36 months--the caregiver may be taking medication to sleep and control mood swings. Outside help dwindles away and except for trips to the store or doctor, the caregiver has severed most social contacts. The caregiver feels alone and helpless. • 38 to 50 months--Besides needing tranquilizers or antidepressants, the caregiver's physical health is beginning to deteriorate. Lack of focus

$15 Flu Shot with this Ad

and sheer fatigue cloud judgment and the caregiver is often unable to make rational decisions or ask for help. It is often at this stage that family or friends intercede and find other solutions for care. This may include respite care, hiring home health aides or putting the disabled loved one in a facility. Without intervention, the caregiver may become a candidate for long term care as well...read this entire article by going to www.planforcare.org.

Their specialties are quickie divorces, DUIs and carwrecks. With their new associate on board, they strive for bigger and better cases. The Litigators is an entertaining romp of courtroom theatrics and suspense. Reserve this book: www.sandiegolibrary.org; Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library, 4275 Cass St.; (858) 581-9934
