Campbell gives State of the District address, presents awards

By DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

I

n a far-ranging State of the District address on Jan. 30, District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell touched on everything from monarch butterflies and pesticide use to housing, homelessness, electric scooters, and short-term vacation rentals.

The event at Liberty Station Conference Center was hosted by Campbell in partnership with Point Loma Nazarene University.

Coyne, Carrie Munson, Seamus Kennedy, Monica Eslamian and Teddy Martinez also presented Neighbors Of The Year and Small Businesses Of The Year awards to deserving constituents in Point

Loma, Ocean Beach, and Midway, as well as Pacific and Mission beaches, Linda Vista/Morena and Clairemont. The district also includes Bay Ho/Bay Park.

Campbell looked forward — and back — during her inaugural, year-beginning address. “Last year the Council unanimously approved a new community action plan on homelessness while moving us toward our goal of 100% renewable energy and a council committee recently

declared a climate emergency,� said Campbell. “I want to focus on how San Diego can shrink its carbon footprint while creating a better plan for our kids and grandkids. My focus is not just on the natural environment, but also on our city environment. We filled over 3,000 potholes, patched miles of road and fixed more than a thousand streetlights, just in District 2.�

ocal reaction was mostly positive to City Council’s recent 5-4 vote banning motorized vehicles, including electric scooters, on Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and La Jolla Shores boardwalks, as well as along Mission Bay Park Bayside.

Bird reacted to the recent scooter boardwalk ban.

“Bird is a committed member of the San Diego community, and we are grateful to residents, local businesses, and community organizations that have championed and supported shared e-scooters,” said Tim Harter of Bird. “While we are disappointed in the City of San Diego’s decision to ban all motorized devices on the boardwalk, we are supportive of Council’s direction to speed up infrastructure improvements along Mission Boulevard.

“We look forward to continuing to partner with the City to help provide a reliable and environmentally friendly transportation option to help locals and visitors easily get around town, connect to transit, and enjoy everything the city has to offer, as well as improving safety measures for all.”

Beach residents Gay Wonacott, recent past Mission Beach Town Council president, and Bill Zent of Pacific Beach, who authored a petition drive to curb scooters, were pleased by the City Council’s action.

“MB residents and visitors to our community will now be able to walk on our boardwalks during the summer months with much less risk of being run over,” said Wonacott. “But this is a decision that never should have been required this long after the e-mobility devices were introduced by Bird, Lime and others.”

“I am extremely pleased with the job Councilmember Barbara Bry did on the scooter issue,” said Zent. “We achieved a permanent ban in key areas such as the boardwalk. Numerous people who signed my petition were thrilled and sent me emails expressing their appreciation to all who worked to resolve a dangerous problem here in San Diego.

“Scooters companies like Lyme leaving once this ordinance was announced highlights the fact that they never came here to provide mobility. They came to leverage our tourism into a profit while selling their goods for free on our streets and sidewalks.”

Beach visitors largely agreed that a scooter boardwalk ban was proper.

“I have mixed feelings, 5050, about having a full ban, said Cristen Clemetson of Bay Park. “There does need to be some kind of regulation. I just don’t know if banning them completely is good. We want to cut back on cars and emissions and traffic and all that stuff. But it did get to the point where it was overwhelming. [Scooters are] helpful to get from point A to point B.” “I don’t think they should ban them because a lot of people use them,” said Don Ofer of Las Vegas. “Everybody’s going to make money from it. They do it in all the other cities. I’ve never seen anybody stupid on them.

I don’t have a problem with it.”

“Due to speed, maybe [the ban is] applicable as people don’t know how to slow down,” said Iluyomade Segun of Solana Beach.

“I support the ban just for the fact that it’s automatic. People need to apply their sense. It’s a great idea.”

“I do like the scooters, but I can understand [the ban] because it’s dangerous,” said Matt Collamer, visiting from Boston.

“It makes sense. It’s probably a good call. I think it’s fair.”

The council Jan. 28 also opted to reduce the scooter geofencing speed limit from 8 to 3 mph in some areas.

On the beachfront, motorized scooters and bicycles will now only be allowed to travel at a maximum of 3 miles per hour in the following locations: • On the public walkway on Ocean Front Walk in Mission Beach, beginning at the South Mission Beach Jetty northward to the terminus of the public walkway at Ocean Boulevard at Law Street in Pacific Beach.

FRIDAY · FEBRUARY 7, 2020 BEACH & BAY PRESS

Enjoy a slice of the good life at the beach FROM OLD-SCHOOL ITALIAN, TO DETROIT-STYLE SHEET, TO CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Y

ou don’t need a special day or even an excuse to do it. It’s something we all do. Some people do it before bed, some at midday, and more than you think do it cold in the morning. It’s perfectly normal. Eating pizza is a national pastime.

In San Diego’s beach communities, there are a variety of pizzas to choose from – from healthy cauliflower crust to Detroit-style sheet pizza to old school Italian hot pies – you’re going to find a slice of love.

With National Pizza Day this weekend on Feb. 9, San Diego Community Newspaper Group decided to highlight some of the local pizzas that our readers may enjoy.

SQUARE PIZZA CO. For something a little different, Square Pizza offers thin-crust Boston Beach Pizza, Upsidedown Sicilian, and Detroit Style pies. The pizzeria owners grew up in the North Shore of Boston, where there’s a style of pizza called “Beach Pizza,” which they decided to bring to San Diego.

But they didn’t stop there, on a trip to Brooklyn they tried pizza

where cheese went down first, then sauce on top. It looked and sounded different, and they loved it. Then they included Detroit’s favorite sheet pizza that has a soft yet crispy bottom dough, caramelized cheese around the edges and house-made sauce on top. All three styles are available, along with gluten-free options, for an amazing pizza experience.

“We took the best of local favorites from Boston, New York, and Detroit and put our spin on it to make great pizza,” said Fred Santos, Square Pizza Co. owner.

Campbell characterized infrastructure improvements including new crosswalks and sidewalks in District 2 as “investing in our community. They may seem like small changes, but they have made a big difference.”

Added the council member, “We must take a holistic approach to community improvements. My budget this year will include requesting additional money to plant trees to reach the goals of our climate action plan, and will also include providing protection for our wetlands and reducing pollution.”

Noting that it is something that “the community of Ocean Beach has been asking for decades,” Campbell said, “I’m the first council member in District 2 to finally secure funding for the expanding Ocean Beach Library.”

Turning to the future, Campbell noted, “As I look at the year ahead, there are several key issues: housing and homelessness, short-term vacation rentals, environmental protection, public safety, and constituent services.”

The Council member also vetted her five-point campaign — unification, outreach, buildings, wrap-around services, and monitoring — for battling homelessness which she said is “coming to fruition.”

including all Surf Rider Pizza locations (Mission Beach, La Mesa and Ocean Beach), joining the auction block. Next Wave Commercial, which recently represented entrepreneur Steve Young in purchasing The Holding Company in OB, is handling the listing of five fast-casual restaurants, including Surf Rider.

Founded in OB in 2010, East Coast-style Surf Rider was brought under the umbrella of The Patio Group in 2015. In addition to the Surf Rider spots, which range in size from 1,029-square-feet to 4,143-square-feet, the available sites also include the now-shuttered Bao Beach, which opened in 2016 on Mission Boulevard and served an Asian-inspired menu.

“This portfolio represents a rare opportunity for a restaurant group or individual operator to acquire several newly renovated restaurant facilities,” said Paul Ahern of Next Wave Commercial.

“These locations could either be purchased with the trade name/ intellectual property and continue operating as Surf Rider Pizzas, or instead be rebranded to entirely new concepts.”

In August 2019, Gina Champion-Cain, founder of The Patio Group, was civilly charged by the United States Federal Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly operating a multi-year, $300 million scheme that defrauded approximately 50 retail investors.

Pointing out the dwindling Monarch butterfly population is becoming a major cause of concern, Campbell also warned against continuing pesticide use.

“We’re making progress on a pesticide-proof pilot park program here in Liberty Station to ensure more of our parks are pesticide-free in 2020,” she said.

Of short-term rentals, she said, “Residents across the city are demanding a comprehensive set of short-term rental regulations. It’s time to act.”

Campbell closed with an invitation. “Consider my office your resource,” she concluded.

BUSINESS Dance for all ages at Tap Fever in Pacific Beach

By DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

TAP FEVER STUDIOS

G

ive dance a chance at nonprofit Tap Fever studios in Pacific Beach, implores owner Larisa Hall.

It’s been quite a metamorphosis for Hall, who previously worked in broadcast television in San Diego. She transitioned over completely to dance opening her first dance studio 12 years ago in April 2008.

“I’ve always danced since I was a kid — tap, ballet, and contemporary and hip hop when I got older,” said Hall, who was born with misshapen feet and used dance to help correct them. “Once I was an adult, I started subbing dance classes for other teachers. And then I realized I liked doing this.”

Looking around then, Hall said, “I noticed a lack of classes for adults, especially tap, I said, ‘Wow, there should be a tap studio in San Diego.’”

So she created one.

“I wanted a place that felt very homey and welcoming,” Hall said. “I created Tap Fever so there’s a place for everybody who wants to be able to dance.”

Tap Fever started out in La Jolla, then was on Turquoise Street in north PB before moving on to Garnet Avenue where patrons could more easily find parking, and it was also close to the freeway.

Where: 2146 Garnet Ave. Info: tapfever.com. 858-456-7301.

Tap Fever owner Larisa Hall.

Hall said her youngest dance pupil is age 2 1/2 and her oldest students are in their 70s and 80s.

“There are some people who have been dancing with us since we opened in 2008,” said Hall noting about half of her students are adults. “We have great programs for both kids and adults,” said Hall adding, “I’m excited about what we have to offer as far as tap goes. But I don’t want to shortchange the other programs we have. Our ballet program is fantastic. We have an adult ballet class as well.”

Tap Fever Studios provides accessible dance opportunities to people of all ages, with and without disabilities, empowering students to achieve their goals through the performing arts.

The studio offers both one-onone and small-group instruction.

Tap Fever is now in a former

single-family home at 2146 Garnet Ave. Whether you’re a toddler, young child, a junior or an adult or senior, Tap Fever has a class to aid students in achieving their goals.

Tap Fever offers three, 16-week sessions throughout the year.

“Our big recital is April 25, and then we have a holiday show in December,” noted Hall.

What’s fun about teaching dance?

“Everything, even stuff like doing the website,” answered Hall.

What’s challenging?

“I never thought I’d do a website, but now that I’ve done it — it’s fun,” Hall said. “The challenging part, as a nonprofit, is having the funds, getting the donations, to cover things.”

Added Hall, “The best part is just seeing how excited people get about class, about choreography and performing and the costumes. People tell me all the time, ‘Dance is their therapy.’

Even if they’re having a bad day, they feel better after they come and take a dance class.”

ob knows bikes. He should. He’s been fixing flats, changing chains and brushing-up brakes since 1970. That’s half a century!

“Who would have thought I’d still be repairing bikes,” says 73-year-old Bob Bohn, owner of The Bikesmith on Garnet Avenue, near Lamont Street. “I’ve been in this bright yellow building for a long time. I painted it yellow so people would notice it.”

Bob started working at a PB bike shop in 1970. “I was fresh out of the Navy. I worked as a battleship mechanic. There was a job opening at a bike repair shop and I always liked fixing things, working with my hands. I wasn’t really looking at bicycles as a profession.

I didn’t choose it, it chose me.”

But it was a good choice. When his employer’s shop closed in 1978, Bohn opened his own place in PB, The Bikesmith. He’s been there repairing and selling bikes ever since.

Bob admits, “I really think of myself as more than just a bike repair guy.” He considers himself a true bicycle mechanic. “I work

and restore racing bikes, mountain bikes, beach cruisers, foreign bikes, even rare models. You never know who or what is going to come through the front door. One day I was repairing a tricycle and right next to it I was working on a $3,500 high-end racing bike.”

Bob says things have changed a lot since the bike heydays of the 1980s when BMX and mountain bikes flooded the market. At one time he had two full-time mechanics, beside himself.

“Now, it’s just me. My meat and potato business is fixing flats, I average fixing five flats a day, 30 a week. But I sell enough refurbished bikes and do enough tuneups, cleaning, brake work, and rim repairs to keep me in business.“ And his PB business has accumulated a lot over the decades.

The old-school shop is chocked full of floor-to-ceiling bikes. His walls are festooned with tires, pedals, handlebars, seats, inner tubes and memorabilia. There’s only enough room for a single line worn path to the front counter.

“This is the shop time forgot. I have something for everybody’s bike needs,” says Bob. “That’s why so many people have come here and keep coming back. I give people quality work for a fair price.”

While many his age are retired or thinking of retirement, the 73-year-old Bohn says he doesn’t know how long he’ll continue working. “I’m here six days a week. I bring my lunch every day. I enjoy the people. I’ll be repairing bikes as long as I physically can.”

That’s what Bikesmith’s do.

ood, drinks, and family fun are in store aboard a 3,900-square-foot vessel destined for Mission Bay waters.

Conceived by Brad Hunter of AQUAlounge, construction of the 149-passenger craft begins March 1 by Marine Group Boat Works in Chula Vista. It carries a price tag of $5 million.

Despite possessing all the elements of party boat — bars on two levels and room for live music and dancing on the main deck — Hunter stresses the venue will appeal to passengers of all ages.

The yet-to-be-named boat will drift around the bay day and night from its primary dock at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina. It will offer “regular public programs” in-between private events.

Those opportunities will include a “Mediterranean day club” in the afternoons; two-hour dinners in the early evenings; and lounge periods starting around 8:30 p.m.

There will also be champagne brunches on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as a “weekend day club” tailored for guests 21 years of age and older, from 1:30 to 8:30 p.m.

“That’s when we will be more focused on the party aspect. The rest of the time we’re shooting toward a more high-end relaxing yachttype feel,” said Hunter, adding that “there will be a lot of times when it’s family-oriented, such as when we do audio-visual shows incorporating fleets of drones.”

Hunter also plans on recruiting guest chefs from local restaurants

AQUAlounge president Brad Hunter.

to conduct weekly pop-up dinners and culinary events. As for the boat’s regular bill of fare, “We’re shooting for higher-end organic dishes,” he said, adding that the main chef will soon be announced.

The project has been six years in the making, due mainly to the arduous task of securing approval by the City of San Diego and the U.S. Coast Guard.

“The first meeting I had with the city was in 2013, and final approval was in spring of last year,” noted Hunter, who is a Mission Beach resident and the owner of a local software company.

Hunter embarked on the venture after flirting with the idea of building a “fancy pontoon” to enjoy with his friends. He then realized there weren’t many options for San Diegans to enjoy being on the water in respect to dining and entertainment, so he began creating renderings of vessels that would hold at least 100 people.

“I reached out to the hotels around Mission Bay to see if there was any interest, and I got very good responses,” he recalls. “They were super helpful in getting the project approved.”

He then took his plan to naval architect/designer Michael Dockter of the locally based Ma rine Design company.

Compared to Dockter’s previous projects involving yachts, barges and naval boats, Hunter’s vision was unique.

“This is a very different type of passenger vessel because of the large, open mid-deck,” said Dockter. “Also, the back of the boat has three walls, but no front wall.

And the front has three walls and no back wall.”

To alleviate weight while still giving the boat a “five-star hotel look,” Dockter selected faux teak for the deck, vinyl paneling for the walls, and tin-stamped tiles for the ceiling. The vessel’s side panels, however, are glass to give the overall construct a sleek, luxurious look.

In addition, the electrical system will run on a 24-volt DC battery in lieu of a generator, allowing everything to operate noise-free when the boat is sitting still.

“There won’t be any other entertainment boats that look like this,” Dockter added.

Which is exactly what Hunter intended when looking at the area competition, which includes Hornblower, the Bahia Belle, and the historic Ohana.

“Those aren’t really marketed much toward the general public,” said Hunter. “We’re using the term ‘floating day club’ and really want to appeal to the locals.”

Boarding prices, he added, will be stick closely to market costs — about $28 for one-hour cruises and $33 for two hours or more.

There will also be brunch and dinner packages as well as membership options.

Hunter says the boat will be ready for business immediately after building is complete in mid to late fall. For more information and updates, visit aqualounge.net.

LIVE MUSIC – Jazz concert series at Balboa Park benefits Mission Bay High's music program

By BART MENDOZA | BEACH & BAY PRESS

Anyone who is looking for a romantic night out, with a jazz soundtrack, will want to hear the 12th annual Valentine’s Day Tribute to Pops and Ella, aka Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, taking place at Dizzy’s on Feb. 14. Vocalist Leonard Patton will be joined by two Grammy nominees; trumpeter Curtis Taylor and singer Sara Gazarek, with Ed Kornhauser (piano), Justin Grinnell (bass) and Duncan Moore (drums).

Armstrong and Fitzgerald are two of the greatest artists the jazz genre has ever produced, with a wealth of material that’s second to none.

Expect a set that’s big on the hits, with “What A Wonderful World” likely to be the night’s highlight.

A Tribute to Pops and Ella: Friday, Feb. 14 at Dizzy’s at Arias Hall, 1717 Morena Blvd. 8 p.m. $25. All ages. dizzysjazz.com.

Rock fans will enjoy a special tribute band double bill at the 710 Beach Club on Feb. 15, featuring Aerosmythe (Aerosmith) and Township Rebellion (Rage Against the Machine). Both are great bands, but the nod here goes to Aerosmythe, who will perform what is the greatest hits set from their namesake artist. The band doesn’t try to look like Aerosmith, instead of focusing on dynamic performances of the group's bestknown songs. With evergreens such as “Sweet Emotion,” “Dream On” and “Ragdoll” in their set, you can expect plenty of singing along and air guitar from fans in the audience.

McClain making a splash for Mission Bay water polo

By DAVE THOMAS | BEACH & BAY PRESS

M

ission Bay High senior Callie McClain is doing all she can to help her team finish strong and make some memories in the process.

McClain, a goalie for the girls’

water polo team, came into her final season at Mission Bay with several goals in mind. Yes, one such goal is keeping the opponents from getting their own goals.

As head coach Lyndsay Sutterley sees it, McClain has grown during her four years with the program.

“I have been fortunate enough to work with Callie for her last three seasons,” Sutterley said.

“In Callie’s final season, I would love to see her continue to show her skills as a prominent leader of the team. She is the backbone of the Mission Bay team.”

Beach & Bay Press recently

caught up with McClain for an interview.

BBP: When did you first start playing water polo and how did you get started in the sport?

McClain: I first began playing water polo in fifth grade. At the

time, my interest in swimming and water sports had peaked, so my parents thought that water polo would be a perfect fit for me, and it was.

BBP: What are some of the keys to being a sound goalie?

McClain: My schedule is extremely packed, I play two sports (water polo and rowing) and I am an IB (International Baccalaureate) student, therefore time management for me is huge. I'd say that the key to being a sound goalie is simply being there and putting in the time and effort that it takes to improve.

Astronaut Jessica Meir inspires middle school and graduate students to reach for the stars

By VICTORIA DAVIS | BEACH & BAY PRESS

B

etween traveling around the earth at 5 miles a second, conducting DNA sequencing and combustion experiments, plus watching the sun rise and set 16 times a day, La Jolla marine biologist Jessica Meir made time to video chat with 150 middle school students from the international space station. “It really means so much for me to be able to share my life up here with all of you,â€? said Meir at the beginning of her livestream call with Scripps Institution of Oceanography and San Diego’s Fulton Middle School and Memorial Preparatory for Scholars and Athletes — two schools supported by Birch Aquarium’s Price Philanthropies Ocean Science Education Fund. “It really is one of the big objectives of my mission‌to share this experience with as many people as I can because I am so incredibly fortunate to be up here.â€?

Scripps hosted the livestreaming event, STEM to Stars, on Monday, Jan. 27, and students both from the middle schools and Scripps own graduate program had the opportunity to ask Meir pre-prepared questions about her time as a scientist and brand-new astronaut. The Q&A was emceed by UC San Diego astrophysicist Brian Keating and Scripps Oceanography Director Margaret Leinen. “As a graduate student who comes from Title 1 schools in North Long Beach, much like the eighth-grade students who were visiting, I would have never in my wildest dreams imagined hearing an astronaut refer to us Scripps folks as ‘colleagues,’� said Ivan Moreno, a second-year Ph.D. student in the Marine Biology program at Scripps who attended the livestream. “That short statement was one of the most inspiring moments of the event.�

For half an hour, Meir shared with students her long journey to becoming an astronaut. The biologist and physiologist has traveled around the world, studying animals that thrive in extreme habitats, her most notable adventure being the research she conducted observing emperor penguins in Antarctica. But starting from writing down her dream to become an astronaut in her middle school diary, to applying to NASA in 2013, it’s been the mysteries of space that have always called out to Meir. And she’s not alone. “Working for NASA is a long-term goal of mine and seeing former Scripps graduate students reach their highest potentials through that same avenue is motivating,� said Moreno. “This was the first time we’ve done a livestream with an alum from space,�

La Jolla marine biologist and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir recently video chatted with local students.

added Lauren Wood, director of Strategic Communications at Scripps. “We wanted the livestream to be something shared with the community that would have an inspiring impact on those involved.�

Scripps has quite the portfolio when it comes to sending their students to space, Meir being one of three alumni who have traveled to the “final frontier.�

Megan McArthur, who holds a Ph.D. in Oceanography from Scripps, traveled to space in 2009 and helped repair the Hubble telescope. Kate Rubins, who studied microbial biology as an undergraduate, became the first person to sequence DNA in space. Sally Ride, the first woman in space, was a long-time professor of physics at UC San Diego. “There does seem to be a trend with UCSD and female astronauts,� said Meir, who entertained many a middle schooler with her demonstrations of zero gravity by f loating up to the ceiling and suspending her microphone in midair.

According to Wood, Scripps would like to host more livestreaming events like this in the future to encourage more Title 1 and graduate students in their galactic pursuits. “The most important thing to do is to make sure that you identify your passion and do what it is that you really care about,� said Meir to the students. “Once you’ve done that, you do need to work

really hard to make those dreams come true. And it sounds a bit trite when I say it, but it really is true. The point is, really, anyone can do it if that’s what you set your mind out to.�

Moreno added, “Not only am I excited for my own future, but also for the futures of all my other peers in the crowd who maybe resonated with her words of encouragement just as much as I did.�

BBP: How has playing water polo helped you grow as an individual and athlete?

Callie McClain is always looking to create goals for her and her teammates and stop opposing teams from scoring their own.

McClain: Water polo, in my opinion, is one of the most difficult sports to play.

Not only do you have to be

an extremely strong swimmer, but you also need to know how to tread water, pass the ball, or block a ball (depending on your position). Polo has taught me a lot about managing my time and about staying accountable for my commitments.

I've also developed as an athlete by continuously increasing my strength and constantly increasing my goalie knowledge.

looking to make some amazing friends, and get in some good exercise. Our games and tournaments are always a blast. We have lots of team bonding events and the whole team is so nice and welcoming. My only advice is to work hard and constantly strive for improvement. Never give up.

BBP: Any advice for anyone interested in coming out for the team next season?

McClain: Water polo is a great opportunity for anyone
