BY AMBERLY DRESSLER | BEACH & BAY PRESS The 57th annual Over-The-Line (OTL) Tournament will once again keep Fiesta Island true to its name when modified softball enthusiasts take a swing starting July 10-11 and concluding July 17-18. Nearly 60,000 spectators are expected to flock to Mission Bay for one of San Diego’s most popular summer traditions. The event, sponsored by the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC), mixes spirits, sport, entertainment and food while raising money for charities. OTL, created in Mission Beach, is comprised of four innings and no base running, with the objective of hitting the ball “over the line” roughly 55 feet in front of the batter. The douSEE OTL, Page 11

The 57th annual Over-The-Line Tournament — a mix of sports, social activity and party — kicks off at Fiesta CASEY DEAN | Beach & Bay Press Island this weekend, July 10-11, and concludes July 17-18.
Fiesta Island: Home to Over-The-Line Tournament The Over-The-Line Tournament moved a few times before settling on Fiesta Island. The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) brings its 57th annual Over-The-Line Tournament back to Fiesta Island for one simple reason — it’s big enough. In its first two decades of existence, the tournament moved a few times due to size restrictions. Mariner’s Point was one such location, a locale that limited the event to 200 teams. “When we found Fiesta Island, it was a totally unused area,”
said OMBAC member Duke Marston. “There was brush and whatever. We sort of carved it out, it’s not real sand, it’s more dirt than anything else, but it works and we play 50 games at a time. And, so, we have enough space to do that.” More than 1,200 teams are expected this year. And like the previous three decades, Fiesta Island will play host, so San Diegans can play ball. Beach softball, that is — Amberly Dressler
The second annual Wild Rides and Classic Car Showdown will park itself in Pacific Beach this year on Aug. 15. Steve Lordigan, known to car enthusiasts as “Charger Steve,” organized the first Wild Rides Classic Car Showdown in Del Mar last year and wanted to hold it in Pacific Beach this year. “It will be a show of shows,” Lordigan said. He hopes to incorporate the best aspects of the other shows he coordinates, such as the Cajon Classic Cruise every Wednesday during summer and events for the East County Cruisers as well. Spectators can expect a pre-1980 selection of vehicles lining Garnet Avenue between Mission Boulevard and SEE CARS, Page 7
Tenth anniversary celebration planned for sunken naval ship BY RONAN GRAY | BEACH & BAY PRESS One dark night in July 2000, a 366-foot-long Canadian naval destroyer packed with explosives sat at anchor less than two miles west of the foot of Pacific Beach Drive. The deck was dark and there were no lights in the windows of the bridge. A small crew battled with an undersize pump below deck, struggling in vain to stem the flow of water that had begun to flood in through a hole in the hull near the waterline. The crew had radioed the Coast Guard for additional pumps, but none would arrive in time. Shortly after abandoning ship a little after midnight July 14, the last group of men to set foot on the HCMS Yukon watched as she floundered and disappeared beneath the dark waves to the muddy bottom 100 feet below, where she rests today. The fate of the Yukon — a Mackenzie-class destroyer that served in the Royal Canadian Navy and later in the Canadian Forces — had, in fact, been set in motion many years before. She was destined to be sunk in this very spot — just not so unceremoniously and anonymously in the middle of the night.

INTO THE DEEP A series of events are planned July 14-15 for the 10th anniversary of the intentional sinking of the Canadian naval destroyer HCMS Yukon. The scuttled ship was towed from San Diego Bay and sunk at Wreck Alley off the Mission Beach coastline to form an artificial reef to create new habitats for marine life and a world-class attraction for recreational SCUBA divers.
Her story begins with Dick Long, founder of San Diegobased Diving Unlimited International, a manufacturer of dry-suits for divers. Long had joined the nonprofit San Diego Oceans Foundation (SDOF) in the late ’90s after the group appealed to the local industrial and military community for help with their stewardship of the local ocean environment. At the time, the city of San Diego had set aside an area off the Mission Beach coastline as a park called Wreck SEE YUKON, Page 4
Diver Jay Schwartz, mooring coordinator for the wreck of the HMCS Yukon for the San Diego Oceans Foundation, swims past the anemone-covered bridge of the wreck just two miles off the coast of San Diego. The wreck is now an artificial reef for marine life habitat, and was prepared and sunk for recreational divers to enjoy. The 10th anniversary of the Yukon’s intentional sinking will be celebrated July 14-15. RONAN GRAY | Beach & Bay Press

[ NEWS 3 ] Floatopias may be doomed to sink www.beachandbaypress.com
BY DEBBIE HATCH | BEACH & BAY PRESS A unanimous vote by the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee will send a proposal to the City Council that supporters hope will close the loophole in the alcohol beach ban and put an end to future Floatopia events. Floatopias, also referred to as “Floatillas” and “Inner2bapalooza,” involve participants consuming alcohol while floating on Mission Bay in blow-up, non-motorized devices such as rafts, tubes and large “kiddie pools.” Partygoers take advantage of a loophole in the beach alcohol ban by drinking legally because they are not touching the shoreline, where alcohol consumption is banned. There have been four Floatopia events since August 2009 in Mission Bay, three at Sail Bay and one off of Fiesta Island. At the June 30 meeting at San Diego City Hall, the committee, made up of council members Marti Emerald, Tony Young, Sherri Lightner and Todd Gloria, heard the proposal from chief lifeguard Rick Wurtz and police Capt. Chris Ball asking the committee to approve a motion to add the definition of bather to the San Diego Municipal Code 56.54, which bans the consumption of
alcohol on the city’s beaches. The committee’s recommendation now heads to the full City Council for consideration. A bather would be defined as “a person swimming, floating, wading, body surfing with or without the use of a floatation device …” The addition of this term would make it illegal for those floating within one marine league of the shoreline, equivalent to three nautical miles, to drink alcohol in the water. The original ordinance did not address alcohol consumption in the water, Wurtz said. “If this passes it’s going to solve Floatopia for us,” Ball said. San Diego lifeguards estimate that between 1,500 and 6,000 people attend each of these events. The lifeguards have made numerous rescues and are responsible for controlling the crowds at the events. “In addition to water rescues, we have a myriad of medical aids,” Wurtz said. One such alcohol-related rescue involved a person who was so intoxicated, the person was unable to stand in shallow water and needed to be rescued by lifeguards, Wurtz pointed said. The two most recent events have cost the city over $20,000 in necessary funds to
Thursday, July 8, 2010
facilitate extra safety personnel on scene from both the Lifeguard Service and Fire and Emergency Medical Services. “The people organizing these events continue to remain anonymous,” Wurtz said. Floatopias are coordinated by social media networking sites like Facebook and Twitter which allow the word to spread through a network and, therefore, one individual cannot be held responsible. In addition to the health concerns and risks, Wurtz cited environmental concerns such as the destruction of eelgrass and the enormous amount of waste produced at the events. Concern for underage drinking and public drunkenness in addition to public urination and trespassing are all reasons Wurtz gave for the need to end Floatopia events. “At this point, we don’t have any reason to believe these are going to stop,” Wurtz said, citing an upcoming Floatopia event this month. The soonest the item will appear on the City Council’s docket is July 12, after councilmembers returns from a legislative recess. “This is not about personal freedom,” Councilwoman Emerald said. “This is about personal responsibility.”

Alley, where artificial reefs could be created. The purpose of the park was twofold: to create new habitats for marine life and a world-class attraction for recreational SCUBA divers. Long took on the task of looking for ways to create artificial reefs in the park by diverting concrete debris headed for the city landfill to instead bolster the habitat project. As Long researched similar projects in the U.S. and abroad, he came across the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia (ARSBC) in Canada. The ARSBC is a nonprofit society that creates reefs from decommissioned Canadian naval ships. “That’s nice,” Long recalls telling them after their first meeting in 1997. “But I’m into concrete, not ships.” Shortly afterward, the ARSBC called him to say it had an extra ship it didn’t have a place for. Long reported back to the SDOF and Project Yukon was launched. “We paid about a quarter of a million dollars for the ship,” said Long, “and they were supposed to clean it up and give it to us ready to sink.” However, after having it towed down to San Diego at a cost of $80,000, Long said the Oceans Foundtion discovered the Yukon wasn’t clean enough to meet U.S. standards for sinking as an artificial reef. The use of a berth in San Diego Bay was donated by the Port Authority, and an army of volunteers set to work on what would turn out to be a 14month cleaning project. Hundreds of volunteers worked tirelessly to strip the Yukon of hazardous materials, wiring, glass and paint in preparing her for a new life as an artificial reef. “Without those people, we would’ve never made it,” Long said. On that July 14 day in 2000, it was supposed to be a major celebration; the culmination of all those volunteer efforts. Events had been planned; a flotilla of boats was to be packed with excited onlookers and media representatives from all over the world, and were set to sail out to Wreck Alley for the sinking. There was to have been helicopters in the air and crowds watching from the shore. There had even been a raffle slated to select the person who would have the honor of pushing the plunger to detonate the explosives in the bow and the stern. These expertly-placed charges were supposed to explode, tearing holes to flood the ship in a controlled manner and precisely send her to the bottom in an upright position. It was all set to be a major event, but apparently the HMCS Yukon had other ideas. Soon after being towed away from the dock in San Diego Bay, her boiler room began to flood.

Once onsite off Mission Beach, she was anchored and the crew set about controlling the leak. There were holes cut in the side of the hull for divers to use for safe entry and exit when exploring the ship underwater. The holes were covered with plywood sheets for the evening to prevent waves splashing inside. As the evening wore on, however, the surface swell changed direction. The Yukon was anchored at three points and was unable to turn around to face the new swell direction. Waves started to push water past the plywood covers and into the hull. Soon, the volume of incoming water exceeded the capacity of the only pump aboard. The call to abandon ship went out at 12:25 a.m. as the Yukon slowly slipped below the surface. Instead of coming to rest in an upright position, as planned, the Yukon came to rest lying on her port side. Jay Schwartz, a retired commercial airline pilot, was at work “36,000 feet somewhere over the middle of America” that morning when his co-pilot asked him if he had heard about the early demise of the Yukon. It was a bittersweet moment for Schwartz, who had spent 14 months volunteering on the cleanup crew for the Yukon. He was supposed to have been one of the first divers to descend on the wreck after the sinking as part of a check-out team that would inspect the wreck before it would be declared open for all divers. Instead, Navy explosive ordnance disposal divers were the first to descend. They recovered the charges that hadn’t been detonated, clearing the way for Schwartz and his team to do their checkout dives.
Since the sinking in 2000, thousands of divers have visited the wreck. Long said a study by the University of California estimated the Yukon brings $4.5 million into the San Diego economy from visitors who travel here just to dive the wreck. “The city of San Diego gets 10 percent on everything that goes on at Mission Bay and San Diego Bay,” said Long. “That means they make $450,000 every year — year after year — and they only put $50,000 into it.” Today, Schwartz still helps maintain the Yukon through his volunteer work with SDOF. On June 21, he was aboard the Lois Anne dive charter at Seaforth Landing, headed out to the wreck for some last-minute preparations before the 10th anniversary of the Yukon’s sinking. Schwartz descended along the mooring line, which he maintains on the wreck as part of his role as the SDOF mooring coordinator for the Yukon. Looking down from the surface, the yellow mooring line disappeared into the dark blue water. This diver joined Schwartz that day. As we descended, bright white anemones began to appear out of the gloom first. Then, slowly, geometrical lines began to form, tracing out the shape of the Yukon. Visibility was about 50 feet and the wreck was rich with marine life. Jellyfish floated motionless amid a large school of sardines circling above the anemone-encrusted hull. Schwartz pointed out a plaque near the bridge bearing the name “Milt’s Tilt” as we made our way inside the ship to the “Wall of Honor,” a bulkhead covered with plaques bearing the names of many of the volunteers and sponsors who helped to get the Yukon here. Schwartz has spent the last four months carefully removing marine growth from the plaques in preparation for an upcoming 10-year anniversary celebration set for Wednesday, July 14 and Thursday, July 15. On July 14, the SDOF will host an event at the High Dive Bar and Grill (1801 Morena Blvd.) from 6 to 10 p.m. Local diver s will be encouraged to dive the Yukon that day a n d b r i n g their photos or video with them to the bar. The bar will donate 10 percnt of the evening’s proceeds to the SDOF. On July 15, the California Ships to Reef Association (CSRA), a group dedicated to sinking more ships as artificial reefs, plans to stage an underwater press conference on the wreck and hide a time capsule to be recovered on the 20-year anniversary. The CSRA will be holding events at the Maritime Museum of San Diego on July 14 as well, including a raffle for divers to join them on the wreck for the press conference the next day. This time, hopes are high that the HMCS Yukon will cooperate with the planned celebrations.

Cleaner sidewalks, stop sign requests top PBPG meeting BY TAWNY MAYA MCCRAY | BEACH & BAY PRESS Cleaner sidewalks and stop sign requests were the main topics at last month’s Pacific Beach Planning Group meeting. Group chair John Shannon said he’s tired of seeing old, chewed-up gum smashed into the sidewalks and would like to see Pacific Beach implement more power washing in the community. A couple years ago, Discover Pacific Beach proposed a plan for setting up a maintenance assessment district in which property owners of Pacific Beach businesses would join together and charge themselves a fee that would pay for services such as more frequent trash collection, cleaner sidewalks, street improvements and off-duty police officers patrolling along Garnet Avenue and Mission Boulevard. That proposal was rejected but a similar idea is being revisited. Discover Pacific Beach President Mike McNeil said in a phone interview that while some Pacific Beach businesses do

problems out there,” Ball said. In the water, city lifeguards made a total of 232 rescues, 30 less than in 2009. The busiest day on city beaches was July 4, when 584,750 people staked out a spot on the sand. “The water temperature dipped down to 62 and 63 degrees and that has a big influence on the number of people that go out and hang out in the water,” said Lifeguard Lt. Andy Lerum. “Once the water warms up, we increase the number of rescues because of the sheer number of people.” After the July 4 festivities, Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter held its seventh annual Morning After Mess beach cleanup day. On the morning of July 5, more than 750 volunteers picked up 2,300 pounds of trash and 8,000 cigarette butts from five sites around San Diego County, including Belmont Park in Mission Beach and Sail Bay. “It seemed like the beach was relatively clean this year. We were pleasantly surprised,” said Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter coordinator Bill Hickman. “There were still some issues on some surrounding streets, sidewalks and parks, but to have less of a mess on the beach was a great thing.” In Pacific Beach, the cleanup included Kate Sessions Park. Hickman said volunteers at the park had their hands full. “They just noticed lots of packaging left behind,” Hickman said. “It seems like they had a big crowd up there and not everyone used all the trash cans that were provided. Luckily, it wasn’t right next to the beach or ocean, so we had a little extra time to clean it up.”
partake in power washing on a pretty regular basis, he would like to see more done. “We’re trying to get different things done so we can get revenues to do more cleaning around Pacific Beach,” McNeil said. “That’s one of our biggest goals, to not only promote the businesses and promote the community but to get some sort of a recurring revenue source for cleaning, which we definitely need.” Planning group member Marcie Beckett said it’s something she feels everybody would love to see happen and that the group would push for it if it comes back to them. “If they can get the businesses to fund it, great,” Beckett said. “The businesses that have the most negative impacts ought to put in the most funds.” Another topic discussed at the meeting was a request for stop signs at three different intersections. Group member Jim Morrison requested turning the intersection at Reed Avenue and Noyes Street into a four-way stop sign intersection, which would mean putting two stop signs on Noyes St. Pacific Beach resident John Downes (who was not present at the meeting) placed a request for stop signs at Missouri Street and Haines Street, explaining in the agenda that there are no stop signs between Fanuel Street and Ingraham streets, which causes a thoroughfare and excessive speeds on Missouri. And Pacific Beach resident Mike Richardson requested a stop sign on Haines Street and Thomas Avenue, citing speeding, a blind corner and fatalities as the reasons behind his request. One of the fatalities mentioned was the death of cab driver Zeki Mohammed Tovi who was struck and killed at that intersection by a drunk driver on March 25, 2006. The group was not able to take any action on the stop sign requests, howev-
er, as none of them were accompanied by a report from the city’s engineering and capital projects department, which is required in order to move forward. Beckett said that in requests like these the engineering department usually issues a report stating the number of points the intersection has. Those points are based on information such as how much traffic and how many accidents occur at the site, and an intersection has to meet a certain number of points in order to merit a stop sign. Beckett added that the group has never had any issues obtaining these kinds of reports before and that the group hopes to get the reports and bring this issue back at the next meeting. “Everybody knows we need a comprehensive solution to the traffic and speeding issues throughout the community,” Beckett said. “But that takes money, and the city has no money, so people are just finding piecemeal solutions.” Also at the meeting, Pacific Beach resident Barbara Williams was elected to serve on the board again after a threemonth absence. Williams had served on the group for about three years before her term ran out in March and she didn’t run for reelection. But when a vacancy opened up recently, she jumped at the chance to serve again. “I enjoyed being a part of the PBPG,” Williams said. “It keeps me well informed of issues affecting my community.” Beckett said there are still three residential vacancies and one commercial vacancy in the group if any community members are interested in volunteering.

Ask The Lawyer Question:
SM
Is there any other way to avoid probate besides a living trust?
Yes, there are numerous ways to avoid probate, however it may not fit with your situation. It is important to get the proper legal advice to decide what will work for you, your assets and family. There may be tax consequences of transferring property, so please check this out before you do so.
Answer:
First, assets can be held in joint tenancy. This means that when one joint tenant dies, the other person becomes the owner of the property. You can own property jointly with another person who is or is not related to you. Next, if the asset, other than real estate located in California, is under $100,000, it can be collected by declaration. The procedure to collect a small estate may be used whether or not the person who died had a will or not. The heirs under state law may use the declaration procedure. Any property that passes to a surviving spouse or domestic partner does not have to go through the formal probate process. This list is not exhaustive, so please feel free to come in for a free consultation to determine if any of these procedures will work for you.

Now& Then John Fry I HAVE SEEN THE ELEPHANT’S EAR. That’s what folks in the Old West said when they experienced something extraordinary. In my case it was the change of command ceremony aboard the USS Carl Vinson last Thursday. Commander Naval Air Forces Vice Adm. Thomas Kilcline chose the flight deck of the Vinson to hand off his post to Vice Adm. Allen Myers IV. Get this! Vice Adm. Myers is a 1978 graduate of the Air Force Academy. After the change of command, folks rode the aircraft elevator down to the hangar deck, which was decorated in red, white and blue for the reception. There was an ice sculpture and a large cake, both in the shape of an aircraft carrier. I can’t imagine I’ll be part of anything more impressive in the near future. YOU WON’T FIND IT ON MAPQUEST or in your Thomas Brothers map book, but every graduate of Mission Bay High School knows Buccaneer Boulevard. Technically, it’s known as Lee Street. Willie Skinner is a 1967 Buccaneer and, with the approval of the Mission Bay High administration, ordered some Buccaneer Boulevard street signs. Willie personally installed them under the Lee Street signs recently. Willy also allowed that the street signs are a lot higher than they look, or at least it’s a long way up if you’re at the top of a ladder. PAM MECKLENBORG enjoyed my nostalgia column of May 27 and tossed in some of her own, two of which were about restaurants a block apart on Mission Boulevard. Pam remembers the old car filled with plants in front of Krishna Mulvaney’s, where the new Beachwood is today, and the Spice Rack on the northeast corner of Mission and Thomas. “There were lines out the door for the fresh baked bread basket and the quaint old house environment,” Pam recalled. “No paved parking there. We walked but others drove from all over the county and parked on the big dirt lot surrounding the restaurant.” C. P. MARTIN CALLED to let me know that he’s the fellow with the “JU 6 44” license plate who waded ashore on Omaha Beach June 6, 1944. His job was to establish communications, but he couldn’t get his radio to work. He later learned that he wasn’t alone – no one could communicate over the air on Omaha Beach. DONCHA LOVE THE NAME WALLY SEAFORTH? Sounds like he ought to be captain of a half-day boat out of Mission Bay. The Englishman will be 90 next year and, after reading last week’s column, decided he’d like an Apple computer as a companion to his PC. He and his wife stopped by to pick up the eMac I offered last column. We’ll see how he does. John Fry may be reached at 272-6655 or mail@johnfry.com

Tavern at the Beach turns attention to charity On most nights, Garnet Avenue’s Tavern at the Beach is known for its hip-hop dance floor and long lines, but on June 23 the space was transformed into an upscale scene, complete with a red carpet entrance and paparazzi waiting outside. The event marked the Charity Ball, which raised funds for Doctor’s Without Borders, an independent operation that provides aid to more than 60 countries encountering natural disasters, malnutrition or epidemics. The event raised a few thousand dollars for the charity. Tavern at the Beach chose the organization due to its impressive international contributions. The first Charity Ball was one of several charity events Tavern puts on each year. “We probably do three to four [events] a year, something relating to charity,” said Judson Mykel, one of the Tavern managers who planned the event. “… We like to stay involved.” — Meaghan Clark

Getting a different taste of The Menu BY MARIKO LAMB | BEACH & BAY PRESS For more than 20 years, The Menu in Crown Point has served up hearty, TexMex-style entrees for breakfast and lunch. The local “morning after” spot offers big portions and Bloody Marys for those curing ailments from the night before and mimosas and beer on tap for those hoping to continue their late-night buzz. On June 19, owners Dave and Susan Russel decided to serve up something a little different. The Menu, normally open until 1 p.m. on weekdays and 2 p.m. on weekends, reopened its doors at 6 p.m. to showcase the latest works from artists in Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, and San Diego State University.

The lights were turned on, the doors were opened and the unmistakable buzz of conversation emanated from within the primarily breakfast-oriented restaurant. Colorful canvas paintings, photographs, collages and woodworkings could be seen through the windows, and the room was filled with a soft reggae, island sound by local musician Gerald Lee. The artwork ranged from beach scenes painted on surfboards to a large, three-dimensional canvas painting of Don Ho. Many of the works contributed to the local feel of the restaurant by emphasizing familiar locations and land-
marks in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach area. In February, Dave and Susan decided to hold the first “Art on The Menu” event. The small restaurant, tucked in between Big Kahunas and Rocky’s on Ingraham Street, was filled for the first show. So they decided to do it again. “I had a vacant room and I’ve always wanted a place for local artists to be able to show their works,” said Dave. Growing up, Dave’s mother had a gallery in the house and was a talented artist herself. Susan, too, was gifted with an artistic talent and even showcased some of her collages in the show. Although Dave admits to not inheriting his mother’s talent, he maintains a healthy appreciation for art and intends to hold an event every three months to allow local
artists to show their latest works. Until the next show, customers can view some of the art while enjoying a taste of what’s on The Menu. The Menu is located at 3784 Ingraham St. For more information on The Menu or upcoming shows, visit www.themenurestaurant.com.

OTL CONTINUED FROM Page 1
ble-elimination competition begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at dusk. More than 1,200 three-person teams will compete. Mission Beach resident Mike Curren and a few friends are credited as the young men behind the game. Around six decades ago, the group played volleyball in Mission Beach, known in those days as Old Mission Beach. While waiting around, the friends laid out a court in the sand and created this game. “I moved to San Diego in 1969, and I played my first tournament in 1970,” said longtime OMBAC member Duke Marston. “We didn’t have roped courts. We’d drag a line in the sand and then put soda cans out. It was considered to be 22 steps to create the lines.” As the media coordinator for nearly 20 years (now retired), Marston helped develop OTL as San Diego’s can’t miss summer event. Marston’s legwork has helped many generations enjoy the summer pastime. One of the many reasons San Diegans keep coming back is the tourney’s unapologetic approach to team names. This year, the OTL committee was a bit disappointed. As a whole, names lacked the double entendres organizers are accustomed to — names not suitable for print seemed more popular. While uninhibited names add to the experience, Marston believes the competition element keeps chaos at bay, on the bay. “It’s a sporting event with a party atmosphere,” Marston said. “If it were just a party, it would be tough to keep control. With 50 games going on at a time with six players per game, that’s 300 people playing all the time, all day long. Four thousand people are entered in the tournament in one way or another. There are a great number of people out there because they love the sport.

OMBAC goes to bat for charities The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) swings for the fences, or rather the line, for charities with its annual Over-The-Line (OTL) Tournament, but members also go to bat all year long for many public service projects. With a membership of 400-plus, OMBAC provides helping hands all over town. Even entrance to OMBAC requires a public service hazing of sorts. “It’s a service club and it’s a very low membership fee, but three people have to sponsor you, and you have to work our events, several events, before you are admitted into full membership with the club,” said Duke Marston, an OTL veteran and OMBAC member. “The only way we can raise money for the charities we want to support is to have a lot of people pitching in. “Over the years the city has asked us to be involved in certain public events, if it involves lots of bodies and not much money,
we can do that.” OTL remains OMBAC’s most lucrative fundraising event. True to its athletic club roots, the focus is on youth sports. “Primarily, it’s who seems to have the most need, but youth sports come first,” Marston said of charity selection. “We sponsor a couple leagues, youth soccer, softball. We have a scholarship fund for high school graduates. It’s not necessarily just in the beach area, although that’s where our first responsibility is, or where we first look, but we’ve sponsored things all over the city and county of San Diego.” Marston said although the club has, in one way or another, sponsored an assortment of charities over the years, the exact dollar amount the club has contributed is unknown. “Obviously, we try to make enough money from the Over-TheLine Tournament to be able to support the charities, and that varies,” Marston said.
Then, there are lots of others who come out because they heard it was such a fun time, and that’s fine. But it’s a sporting event.” Opening weekend is expected to be the most festive as spectators enjoy a special break in the beach’s booze ban. The city issued a special event permit, which allows the consumption of alcohol in designated areas during pre-determined times. OMBAC has a small list of items that are other banned during the tourney — also known as the “Bs:” no bottles, no bowsers (dogs), no babies, no birds and
no boas (snakes). Plus, limited bike use. Marston has a recommendation for those with more reserved taste. “If you wanted to come out and just get the flavor of the sport, come out the second weekend,” Marston said. “If you want to see the whole spectrum, the whole deal, come both weekends. By the second weekend, we get the seeded teams. By the last Sunday, it’s not very much party at all, it’s all sporting event.” For information on complimentary bus transportation, reserved parking or anything O-T-L, visit ombac.org. Admission is free.

MUSICcalendar BY BART MENDOZA | VILLAGE NEWS There seems to be more musical artists looking back than forward these days, but it’s hard to fault the trend when it’s done as well as by country quartet The Palominos, who perform at O’Connell’s on July 16. Dressed as if they stepped right out of a 1960’s Bakersfield honkytonk, playing only vintage gear and armed with an arsenal of the era’s classic tunes, the band is the perfect antidote for any music fans who think today’s country tunes are too pop-oriented. The Palominos: Friday July 16, 9 p.m., O’Connell’s, 1310 Morena Blvd.21 and up.

www.beachandbaypress.com The band includes four members of Royal Crown Revue, notably frontman Eddie Nichols. Indeed, listeners will note there’s not a lot of musical difference between the two groups, with an emphasis on 1940s to 1950s upbeat material. While most of these Sunday afternoon concerts are wonderful listening experiences, this is one that should have the crowd up and dancing. Eddie’s Rockin Revue: Sunday July 18, at Concerts on the Green, 4 p.m. Kate Sessions Park. All ages. Free. www.pbconcerts.org Despite being one of the best hard rock guitarists ever, Michael Schenker, who performs at Brick by Brick on July 18, 8:30 p.m., remains best known in the U.S. for what was essentially sideman work with British rockers UFO, during the mid-seventies. While the perception is that Schenker hasn’t done much since that heyday, a glance at his discography shows otherwise. Originally a guitarist with the Scorpions, between those two legendary groups he appeared on eight albums. Since going solo, he’s released 44 additional discs. On tour promoting his latest opus, “Instrumental Intensity,” expect the biggest cheers whenever he dips into his vintage material.
