NATIONAL PIZZA DAY IS FEB. 9

Celebrate our favorite food with a giant slice at the beach

ew York might be known for thin crust, and Chicago famous for deep dish, but pizza in San Diego is known for its originality. Since National Pizza Day is Feb. 9, the Beach & Bay Press went out and sampled slices so big they required new zoning regulations, pizzas named after people, places and prophets, and ate artisanal pies in a vintage Fiat.

Faulconer appoints new police chief Following a national search that included candidates from major cities across the country, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer announced on Feb. 1 the appointment of San Diego Police Department Assistant Chief David Nisleit as the City’s next police chief. Nisleit, who was the overwhelming recommendation of the community and professional interview panels following a months-long selection process, has been with SDPD for 30 years, the last two as assistant chief overseeing patrol operations. Once confirmed by the City Council, Nisleit will replace Chief Shelley Zimmerman, who is retiring on March 1 after a 35-year career. Nisleit has led a distinguished career, with leadership roles in the Western, Northern and Mid-City Patrol divisions; SWAT; the Gang Unit; and the Centralized Investigations unit. He currently has responsibility for nine patrol commands, the Homeless Outreach Team and the Watch Commander’s Office. “As a native San Diegan and someone who has dedicated the last 30 years of his life to this city and department, it is both a privilege and an honor to become the next San Diego police chief,” Nisleit said. “Keeping San Diego one of the safest large cities in America will be one of my top priorities. This will be achieved through strong partnerships with our com-

munity and the great work of our San Diego Police Department personnel.” In addition to overseeing hundreds of investigations throughout his career, Nisleit spearheaded the department’s “violence reduction plan” aimed at decreasing violent crime and gun-related offenses. He also led the department’s involvement in the formation of the Community Action Support Team, working with the community to address gang violence. He has been responsible for the planning and operational safety of more than 1,000 special events, including Comic-Con, sporting events, San Diego LGBT Pride and the Women’s March. He has a reputation of working closely with community members by hosting monthly problem-solving meetings and neighborhood crime briefings. “The selection of Chief Nisleit is the culmination of a communitydriven selection process and he was the clear choice of community leaders and professional staff, including law enforcement officials,” Faulconer said.

Campland on the Bay hits highest occupancy level in 10 years Campland on the Bay, one of Mission Bay’s original lessees, achieved higher occupancy and revenue in 2017 than in any prior year since 2006. Last year, Campland generat-

NEWS ed $2.8 million in city rent and transient occupancy tax, improving upon the $2.6 million generated for the city in 2016. In 2017, Campland accommodated 121,974 site nights worth of reservations, with one of the highest occupancy rates on record. The average occupancy rate in July 2017 reached 80.3 percent, with virtually no vacancy over the Fourth of July holiday and other busy summer weekends. Campland’s annual visitors include tens of thousands of San Diego families, many of whom book reservations up to two years in advance. “Campland on the Bay is proud to be an important economic driver for Mission Bay Park and the city of San Diego,” said Jacob Gelfand, Campland’s vice president of operations. “Campland’s growth in occupancy over the past decade illustrates how the demand for waterfront camping and recreation continues to rise. “We’re seeing more and more millennials investing in both new and vintage RVs, campervans, tents and other forms of camping as an affordable, friendly way to access the laidback fun and natural beauty that makes Mission Bay the jewel of San Diego and an envy of the world.” Campland on the Bay first opened in 1969 as one of the first commercial leaseholds in Mission Bay Park. Campers routinely line up before dawn to reserve their favorite campsite up to two years in advance.

n It’s hard to miss the fluorescent blue building and the bright red patio awnings of Rosaria Pizza on Mission Boulevard. The parlor has a more modern feel to it but what makes this pizza place most unique is the names of their pizzas. The “NAM” pizza includes Vietnamese sweet and spicy sauce, Vietnamese BBQ Pork and Vietnamese Sausage. The “Say Cheez!” pizza is all about the parmesan flakes, ricotta and mozzarella. Then there’s the Maui Wowi, with ham, pineapple, bacon and red onions.

LA JOLLA n It might be located in a coastal town, but inside Pizza on Pearl looks like it belongs in the heart of the Big Apple. There’s NYC-style graffiti on the red brick walls and yellow “dough throwing” warning signs, likely because the pizza makers spin the dough right in front of customers. The parlor on Pearl Street sells pizzas of every kind like the BCR with bacon, chicken and caramelized onion and ranch, along with their Pear pizza topped with ham, spinach, pear and Gorgonzola. n For high-class pizza dining, the Lupi Vino Cucina on La Jolla Boulevard is the way to go. Awarded the gold medal for best dinner in La Jolla for the last five years, executive chef Luigi Tornatore opened the restaurant in 2003 and focuses primarily on Roman-style cuisine. The pizzas here are more health conscious, with their signature Capricciosa pizza made with tomato, mozzarella, ham, mushrooms and artichokes. All of the ingredients are fresh and made on location.

City breaks ground for new Rose Creek Bikeway BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

Pacific Beach will be a new link in the chain of the city’s interlocking bicycle network once the Rose Creek Bikeway is completed. Officials from the San Diego Association of Governments and the City of San Diego recently broke ground on the Rose Creek Bikeway. A two-mile segment of the Coastal Rail Trail bikeway linking the greater University City area with points south including Mission Bay and downtown San Diego, Rose Creek Bikeway will create a protected and more convenient connection between two existing segments of the Coastal Rail Trail. It will extend from the Rose Canyon Bike Path in University City, south to the Rose Creek Bike Path in Pacific Beach. It is one of the most heavily traveled bike corridors in the region. “We are excited to see this project moving forward,” said SANDAG chair Terry Sinnott. “The goal of our regional bike plan is to create a network of bikeways designed for riders of all ages and abilities. This project is a big step in that direction.” “This bikeway will be great for our community,” said District 2 Councilmember Lorie Zapf. “Since my children were small, I’ve enjoyed riding bicycles with my family and I think it is very important to have bike paths separated from vehicles, like this one will be. The Rose Creek Bikeway is an example of good planning that will enhance our community.” When completed, the Rose Creek Bikeway will provide a 14-foot-wide paved path with environmentally sensitive lighting for added public safety. The bikeway will include under crossings at Interstate 5 and Mission Bay Drive, as well as a 260foot-long bridge over Rose Creek. It is expected to be open to the public in early 2020. Local stakeholders in active transportation improvements along the beachfront weighed-in on the

launch of the new bikeway. “This is great news to help incorporate Rose Creek into our community,” said Henish Pulickal, chair of Pacific Beach Planning Group. “Currently, it's an unused community asset that's been neglected and underutilized. This upcoming bike path is a great first step in this area.” Added Pulickal, “The next step would be to implement some placemaking strategies to turn Rose Creek into a focal point of this section in Pacific Beach.” Andy Hanshaw, executive director of San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, was excited “to see this connection break ground. “Separated and safe, the Rose Creek Bikeway will serve all people who ride including residents, commuters, students and recreational riders,” Hanshaw said. “As part of the Regional Bike Network, we need these [funded] critical links built out now to connect people to the places they need to go that supports the healthy, active quality of life we all enjoy in San Diego. It’s these types of bikeways that will encourage more people to commute by bike and help the city reach their mode share targets to support the Climate Action Plan.” Karin Zirk, executive director of Friends of Rose Creek, which is dedicated to Rose Creek watershed improvements, was also enthused by the bikeway. “While the project itself is doing some minor damage to Rose Creek, we are focused on the long-term benefits,” said Zirk.

Pacific Beach family dedicates business to helping Promises2Kids BY VICTORIA DAVIS | BEACH & BAY PRESS

While she identifies first and foremost as a mother, others see Carrie Miller as a one-of-a-kind philanthropist. Seven years ago, in honor of her oldest daughter Evelyn’s first birthday, Miller and her husband Scott made a donation to Promises2Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the needs of abused children in foster care. But this wasn’t Miller’s first introduction to the nonprofit. A few months after Evelyn’s birth, Miller was looking for ways to get out of the house. While on the Volunteer San Diego website, she found an opportunity for reading to toddlers. Miller still gets emotional remembering her first time walking into the A. B. and Jessie Polinsky Children’s Center. “I remember being in this big room with a bunch of people and the center showed us this introduction video of Norma Hirsh talking about how there used to be a 24hour hotline for abused animals, but there wasn’t a 24-hour hotline for abused children,” said Miller. “As the video went along, I was completely gutted, especially as a new mother racing with hormones. There’s absolutely no words to describe the horrific things these kids go through.” Norma Hirsh founded The Child

Abuse Prevention Foundation in 1981 to raise community awareness of child abuse in San Diego. In 1994, the children from the rundown, and grossly overpopulated, Hillcrest Receiving Home were relocated to the newly established Polinsky Center, which today can house up to 200 foster kids. Fifteen years later, The Child Abuse Prevention Foundation became Promises2Kids. “We’ve definitely grown and evolved,” said Tonya Torosian, CEO of Promises2Kids. “We focus less on the prevention of child abuse through the Palinsky Center and really look at what we can do to support these kids once they’re in care. There’s something special about having local San Diegans funding local kids.” Whether they’re at the center, with a foster family or in a group home, Promises2Kids looks for gaps in the foster care system and how they can best fill those voids. After watching the video and spending the remainder of her day at the center, Miller decided she needed to be a part of it all. “I remember sitting towards the back just ugly crying and I looked around and felt surrounded by a bunch of people ugly crying with me,” said Miller. “I remember thinking, ‘I need to be a part of this.’” Now, Miller and her husband are both active volunteers and sponsors

for Promises2Kids. Scott is a mentor in P2K’s Guardian Scholars program, which provides former foster youth with a partial financial scholarship, along with mentoring support, to assist them in excelling in higher education. But Miller herself is unique in her giving. “When I started my real estate business, I figured the best thing I could do was to start giving money,” said Miller. “For every real estate transaction that I close, I give back a 10 percent donation to Promises2Kids. It’s now part of my business plan.” Torosian added: “I was really shocked. You just don’t see that. People might donate personally, but to embed it into your business … that’s something amazing.” Miller’s donations are made on behalf of her clients and are unrestricted, allowing Promises2Kids to direct the funds to whichever division they think needs it most. “We do a big lottery check outside the client’s house and we post it up on social media,” said Miller. “It’s

Promises2Kids. Miller said it was a “proud mom moment.” “I tell my girls, ‘Think about the thing that breaks your heart, what makes you feel sad. That’s where you should give,’” said Miller.

Kym Singer, a member of the Junior League of San Diego and Pacific Beach resident, joined her colleagues in Balboa Park Jan. 13 for the group’s fifth annual Human Trafficking Awareness Rally. The Junior League of San Diego focuses on education regarding the myths and facts of human trafficking, recognition of the signs of victims being held captive, and awareness of how to get involved in the battle against it.

By definition, human trafficking covers sex trafficking and forced labor. It’s a crime involving the exploitation of someone through the use of force, fraud or coercion. The definition includes domestic servitude or even forced labor in the fishing and agricultural industries, both of which have a significant presence in San Diego. The International Labor Organization estimates there are at least 21 million victims of human trafficking worldwide. San Diego is listed by the FBI as one of California’s hot spots. The San Diego District Attorney’s Office has

concluded there are at least 8,000 victims in San Diego alone. The illicit industry also brings in more than $810 million annually, making it the second-largest underground economy in San Diego. Singer created signs at her home in Pacific Beach before heading to Balboa Park to the Jan. 13 march with more than 100 other women and men to raise awareness about human trafficking in San Diego. Singer heads a group of women volunteering to raise money and supplies for kids aging out of the foster system.

She also leads efforts against commercial sexual exploitation of children. Statistics reveal homeless or foster children are particularly at-risk of exploitation by trafficking. Singer discussed the motivation behind her Junior League of San Diego involvement. “I wanted to give back to the community, and I knew that the focus was on foster youth,” she said, adding she’d been sensitized to the issue by her father who worked with troubled teen boys. “So I joined the task force committee working with foster youth and

human-trafficking victims.” “We look at where we can make the biggest impact,” said Singer. “For us, it’s been transitional-age youth, and human trafficking. The average age for victims is 16.” Why should people be more aware of human trafficking? “The biggest reason is that it’s happening all around us,” said Singer. “The person sitting next to you could be a human-trafficking victim.” Of the trafficking rally, Singer said the goal was “to bring education and awareness to the community.”

Bikes and beans the theme at new Coffee Cycle in PB BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

Cycling goes about as well with coffee as cream and sugar. Which is why Chris O’Brien, proprietor of Coffee Cycle in PB, has been able to earn a living pairing bikes and beans. The New Jersey native came to San Diego via Cleveland, where he went to college and got his first taste of coffee brewing. Finding a serviceable way of blending cycling with his favorite drink came naturally to O’Brien, who’s driven a car once his entire life, and has never had a driver’s license. But it wasn’t until he moved to San Diego and began working at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, that he became truly passionate about peddling coffee, inventing a new way to “pedal” his product to the marketplace. “Once at the end of a shift, I invited a couple of my co-workers over to my house where I had 10 bikes in my living room,” recalled O’Brien. “It was a joke that I ought to put a cafe on the back of one of those bikes. I woke up the next morning and began sketching it.”

COFFEE CYCLE Where: 1632 Grand Ave. Hours: 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, except Mondays. Where: chris@coffee-cycle.com, 951-363-3066.

The coffee connoisseur took three years to perfect a functioning, mobile coffee cart. Afterwards, for nine months, O’Brien drove his homemade mobile coffee cart to Pacific Highway south of Fiesta Island close to Old Town where he worked a stretch of self-described “nowhere road,” catering primarily to cyclists. His rolling cart was not only O’Brien’s entree into the craft-coffee industry locally, it was his inspiration to find a new permanent, stationary home. “It’s like a beached whale,” said O’Brien of his old coffee cart, which he still serves from daily and vows never to take out on the road again. “It doesn’t roll well — but it rolls. It moves with the speed of a guy with a cane.” Nonetheless, O’Brien’s once-mobile coffee cart has served its purpose. And it still draws cyclists to his new “Goldilocks” location midway along Grand Avenue, not too close, nor too far away, from the beach.

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and School celebrates 75 years in Pacific Beach BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

up to

Right from the start, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and School in Pacific Beach, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, was built on its solid relationships among members sharing their faith. “The people here are phenomenal, it’s just a neat church to be a part of,” said James. D. (Pastor Jim) Henkell of St. Paul’s, a baby-boomer congregation founded in 1943 with the influx of people coming to San Diego in the middle of World War II. The church’s one-room K-8 school was founded four years later. It has since expanded. The church was moved from its original location at 1570 Garnet Ave. to its present site at 1376 Felspar St. across the street from a baseball diamond and near Pacific Beach Recreation Center. “The original location is now a CBD smoke shop,” said Henkell, who came to the congregation 15 years ago to help it transition from a traditional church with a retiring pastor into an “outreach-driven ministry.” When he first came to St. Paul’s, Henkell met one of the church’s charter couples, Harold and Evan-

geline Nelson. “They were a great couple who would share some of their memories with me about those early years,” he said. “I would visit with them in their home and pray with them.” The head pastor said the Nelsons were typical of “the handful of people” who built and promoted St. Paul’s. “There definitely were some leaps of faith,” Henkell added about the church’s origin. Lutheranism is a major branch of Protestant Christianity identifying with reform theologian Martin Luther (1483-1546), a German friar whose 95 theses criticizing Roman Catholic policies triggered the Protestant reformation in the German-speaking territories of the Holy Roman Empire. Lutheranism advocates a doctrine of justification “by grace alone through faith alone on the basis of the Scripture alone,” the doctrine that Scripture is the final authority on all faith matters. Today, Lutheranism is one of the largest denominations of Protestantism

with approximately 80 million adherents. Sitting in his office with his collection of more than 70 crosses from around the world tacked on the walls, Henkell noted the church’s 75th anniversary is a yearlong celebration with the theme, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Asked if he thought being head of a church parish was any different today than it has ever been, Henkell replied, “You would think it is just because the culture, and the country are different … but it’s not as much as people think … no matter what era in which people are born, they still need a sense of identity and purpose, the sense that God loves them and is working in their lives.” Henkell noted the battle between good and evil is eternal. “The reality is, no matter what era you’re in, we all mess up, we all struggle,” he said. “There is sin. They need God to forgive them and be at work in their lives. Jesus was as meaningful and active then as he is now.” Henkell said St. Paul’s is sponsoring an “old-time carnival” to which the public is invited on Saturday, Feb. 17 from 2 to 5 p.m. at Nobel Park, 8810 Judicial Drive. Concerning problematic homelessness in PB, Henkell said St. Paul’s strives to “do the things most helpful for them, not just an individual meal, but really help with job searching or housing or whatever.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

Then on Feb. 24, the night will feature Loose Cannon, SlaveSound, Symbolic, Alchemy, Nightshadow and Bunch of Heathens.
