Children play in the geyser created when a hit-and-run driver knocked over a fire hydrant at Vickie and Westknoll drives in Pacific Beach. It took the city approximately 30 minutes to shut the water off.
Four new City Council members sworn into office Monday, Dec. 8, have landed in the middle of a backand-forth budget battle between the council and the mayor’s office as they try to close an estimated $43 million midyear shortfall. The Council put off decisions to name a new council president and assign committee members until the next day following the tragic jet plane crash in University City Monday morning. On Tuesday, the council voted 6-2 to name District 8 Councilman Ben Hueso. Last month, the City Council made the decision to keep fire stations fully operating as well as to keep libraries, recreation centers open until June 2009 despite calls for deep cuts by the mayor. The decisions remain intact after City Council members unanimously overrode a mayoral budget veto during a Friday, Dec. 5, council meeting. SEE COUNCIL, Page 9

Because of the low depth the pipe was laid at, nearby residents and pedestrians would get a whiff of the sewage smell when the conditions were right. Khomamizadeh said by burying the new pipes 15 feet deep has solved the problem. Khomamizadeh said he expects the final touches on the project, including removing the tanks from the beach, replacing the bayside path and repaving the nearby alley, will be completed before Dec. 24.

Don Yoon, Youngmi ’s husband and the father of the two girls, was not at home at the time of the crash. “I really believe that my wife and two daughters are in heaven,” Yoon, 39, said the day after the crash, adding that his prayers go out to the pilot. O’Connor said reaching out to the community and sharing as much information as possible was his priority. He attended Tuesday’s University Community Planning Group meeting in an effort to inform residents of the military’s efforts and to allay the public’s fears, he said. “We are conducting a thorough investigation. We are going to take

our time,” he said. O’Connor said the military’s team of first responders was on the scene immediately and will continue to work with the city. Military officials will continue to remove wreckage from the area, he said. “We take our responsibility very seriously,” he said. O’Connor said the military stresses the safety record of its aircraft. “As a pilot, safe operation of aircraft is our number one concern,” O’Connor said. “[The F/A-18 is] a dependable aircraft. It flies a lot, every day. It’s a proven performer. They’re our workhorses.” According to Luque, damages from the crash totaled in excess of $1 million. He added that the crash damaged another three homes, three vehicles and one truck.
“I saw them every day,” said neighbor Michael Rose, adding that he was traveling to Texas when his wife phoned him, informing him a plane crashed next to their home. “She said it was a big, loud boom,” Rose said. “How short life can be. It’s such a tragedy.” Though Rose said he wasn’t present at the actual crash, his proximity to the Yoons’ house and the site began to sink in. “We were riding bicycles less than 50 feet away the night before,” Rose said. “My girls were in school [at the time of the crash]. Thank God.” Newly elected San Diego City Councilmember Sherri Lightner said she will hold a community forum today, Dec. 11, at 6 p.m., at UC High School auditorium, 6949 Genesee Ave.

A group of girls at a literacy school in Afghanistan smile for a photo. PB resident Kurt Swann recently visited the center as part of an assessment team with a goal of teaching Afghan women how to read and write.
Relief mission leads PB man to Afghanistan BY ANTHONY GENTILE | BEACH &BAY PRESS
Most people would not jump at the chance to visit Afghanistan. Try telling that to Kurt Swann, a retired Pacific Beach resident who took a humanitarian trip there in early October. “I assumed it wasn’t going to be as bad as it was in the newspaper,” Swann said. “The things that I noticed that impressed me was that in spite of the fact that they’ve been at war for 30 years, they’re still trying to improve their lives.” Swann took the trip with Rescue Task Force, an El Cajon-based nonprofit organization. Rescue Task Force’s projects include women’s literacy centers, military support, medical clinics and disaster response. While in Afghanistan, Swann visited 15 different women’s literacy schools that Rescue Task Force has set up in the Ghanzi province. The Ghanzi province is a mountainous region in central Afghanistan filled with small villages with populations of 1,000 to 2,000. Swann said his group traveled on unpaved switchback roads and that each trip within the province, though only a few miles, usually took a couple of hours. Swann described his role on the trip as goodwill assessment. “It was partly a goodwill visit,” Swann said. “The other thing was a needs assessment. We talked about maybe improving it to include health care and physical exams.” The women’s literacy schools have been in place since the fall of the Taliban in 2002. Swann said the goal of the schools is to teach Afghan women how to read and write. “They’re trying to get women of all ages some basic literacy skills so some of them can go on to school,” said Swann. “They come to this program and then they are able to go to a regular middle school or high school.” While some of the women attend the schools trying to further their education, others simply want to learn basic reading and writing skills. “Some of the older women — they want basic literacy skills sometimes for the pride of being able to read if they’ve never been able to read their whole life,” he said.
“Those are ordinary fundamental skills that we take for granted.” In addition to the literacy schools, Swann also visited a soccer team and a computer lab in the area. SEE AFGHANISTAN, Page 6
Hickman, of Ocean Beach, who added that most of the bags don’t float but sink to the bottom. “They’re all over the place,” said Jim Pugh, from the San Diego Audubon Society. He said plastic bags smother plants at the bottom of creeks and streams. “Please move ahead with a ban and keep them out of our wetlands,” he added. Scott Harrison, the chairman of the Surfrider Foundation, told the panel the ban is like “a train leaving the station — it’s time to get on board.” Among the few opposed to the ban were representatives from the California Grocers Association and the American Chemistry Council. Jennifer Forkish, who represents the American Chemistry Council, said the use of paper bags is “three to five times more expensive, which means higher operating costs for stores and higher prices for their customers.” Frye held up a dingy white cloth bag she said she uses for shopping and added, “It needs a bath.” She also urged everyone to ask for paper instead of plastic when at the checkout line.

“They’re happy from the support that they get from us,” Swann said. Swann said that he never felt unsafe during his visit, even though daily news reports are filled with stories about gun battles, car bombs and Taliban movements. Security precautions to avoid dangerous situations, however, did alter the trip. “We had to take a lot of precautions to avoid that,” Swann said. “So we drove through the mountains for two days — windy roads, street roads — to avoid main roads and Taliban roadblocks. “Sometimes we would switch cars because we were worried about people being able to identify
us,” he said. Swann said what most impressed him about the Afghan people is that everyday safety concerns do not stop them from living — they are simply something they are accustomed to. “They talk about avoiding a Taliban roadblock just like we talk about avoiding traffic on the 805.” As an American visiting a hostile environment, Swann said he was actually encouraged by what he saw while in Afghanistan. “It’s difficult overall, but when you see these people up close and that they are willing to risk danger to improve their overall daily lives, I think that’s a helpful sign,” Swann said.

Couple arrested in string of armed robberies BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | BEACH &BAY PRESS
Brittney Merritt was working alone at the front counter of the Cold Stone Creamery on Mission Boulevard on what seemed like just another Friday night in Pacific Beach back in April. A man wearing a gray sweatshirt and baggy jeans walked in and ordered an ice cream cone, but something wasn’t right. As she handed him the dessert, he paused. He looked, she said, as if she had done something wrong. What he did next would send her practically cowering in fear for weeks every time someone entered the store wearing a gray sweatshirt and jeans, she said.

Mission Bay Park Lessees Association. "No one you know who's alive today will have as much impact on Mission Bay Park." In 1966, he said, the community had no sense of ownership over the expansive park. Starns organized duck and Thunderboat races, Easter egg hunts and other events that helped put Mission Bay Park on the community's radar.

detail. Bussell also wants to schedule a staff meeting and workshop on how to implement funds Mission Bay Park will receive as a result of the passage of Proposition C. Under the 30-year charter amendment, lease revenues in excess of $23 million – an estimated $5 to $12 million annually – from SeaWorld, The Bahia Resort Hotel and other Mission Bay Park commercial properties will go to the park instead of the city's general fund. An additional 25 percent, or $2 to $4 million, will go to Balboa and other regional parks. The proposition's passage is a rare bright spot for the Park and Recreation Department. To compensate for a $43 million shortfall, the city is considering cutting staff and closing several libraries, including the Ocean Beach and Clairemont branches. "I personally am done approving any cuts to the Park and Recreation Department. The city needs to find its money elsewhere," Bussell said. His comments echo the message of a letter the Park and Recreation Board sent to City Council. The council recently voted to give $4,000 to KTU+A, the firm handling the Fiesta Island redevelopment project. In August 2006, KTU+A presented a redevelopment proposal for the vast island based on the Mission Bay Park Master Plan, an outline for park development that City Council and the California Coastal
Commission approved in 1994. That plan does not designate areas for dogs, but public workshops in 2006 and 2007 revealed that dog owners are one of the area's largest and most vocal user groups. KTU+A has created several alternatives to accommodate dogs. Members of FIDO (Fiesta Island Dog Owners) concerned about possible conflicts between dogs and paddlers have requested that a consultant look further at other locations for the boat users. Councilwoman Donna Frye suggested a contract amendment that would allot $4,000 to KTU+A for that purpose. It is unclear how much work can be done for that amount, said Paul Jacob of the Park and Recreation Department. He believes the council will probably have to pass another contract amendment to cover the scope of the project. Ironically, Fiesta Island is not an ideal venue for the San Diego Humane Society's annual Walk for Animals. The area does not lend itself to dog walking because it is less than ideal for strollers, said Dr. Mark Goldstein, president of the San Diego Humane Society. Dogs would be forced to walk in sensitive wildlife areas, he added. The committee voted to allow the Humane Society to return to Crown Point on May 2 for its 15th annual event. Dogs are not normally allowed in the area, but commitSEE MBPC, Page 26

Only in PB…Forget the old-style synchronized drill team, tossing batons in the air. This is, after all, Pacific Beach. Instead, folks lined up along Garnet’s curbs will be treated to the PB Taylor Library’s synchronized drill routine and the (duck if they miss) PB Tennis Club version. On Sunday, Dec. 14, beginning at 1 p.m., PB’s Holiday Parade will head west on Garnet at Haines, led by Grand Marshals from Gordon & Smith surfboards. Gordon & Smith, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, also sponsors Mission Bay High’s surf team. Martha Farnum Elementary Alumni’s float will be coordinated by Joe Wilding, while the PB Woman’s Club will honor PB’s own Kate Sessions. More local flavor includes Discover PB’s holiday theme: “Eat, drink, shop–THINK PB!” (They’ll build the float Saturday behind their office, with Community Court participants assisting.) Look for “The Grinch who Stole Christmas” by Remax Coastal Properties, Mission Bay High’s popular Dixie Jazz Band and the Hazy Meadow Ranch horse carriage filled with neighborhood youngsters. Parade of Events…When Discover PB’s Hospitality Task Force declined to sponsor this year’s parade, Barbara Williams stepped forward. The longtime resident witnessed a bleak, economyinduced beginning, but a Beach & Bay Press story turned the financial picture around. PB’s parade, like the PB Special Events Committee, where Barbara first learned of its potential cancellation, is a success story. Eric Lingenfelder, who will chair the Special Events Committee in January, recalled, “I was appointed two years ago by Councilman Kevin Faulconer.” The PBSEC has two members each appointed by Discover PB, the PB Town Council and the PB Planning Committee, plus three at-large members. “I’d like to see events that hit a broader cross-section of the community,” said Eric, “events that showcase PB.” After all, “PB really is a place for everybody to have fun,” he added. When Eric and his wife Gabriela travel in their motorhome, they look for local festivities. “If we find a neat event, why not plan our trip around it? We once found a terrific music festival in a little town in New Mexico.” The native San Diegan, who has a degree from SD State University in communications and business, lived in PB for 10 years. He and several partners own the Tavern at the Beach, a sports bar for locals. The More the Merrier!...Eric’s right about fun for all ages. Just this year we’ve added the PB Youth Fishing Derby, a Movie in the Park at Kate Sessions and the Brazilian Festival.

like I was living in Stalag 17! It was incredible that such resources would be deployed to stop a few college-age people from downing a few cold ones, especially since it was a cooler than usual summer, thus fewer beachgoers. Now you are forced to cut services due to a “$43 million gap in the city’s fiscal year 2009 budget.” Sanders also states cutting 217 positions from the city payrolls, in addition to asking police and fire-rescue departments to reduce their budgets, thus less vital service to the citizen of San Diego.
[The City Council] is solving the problem for a few months, but it’s putting us in a deeper hole...
“working with an independent budget analyst to look at the assumptions behind the numbers.” That makes sense in a budget crisis — hire a consultant to do your job. If Faulconer cannot make budget and finance decisions, he should not be on the committee. My question for Sanders is, as the strong mayor, are you going to spend our tax dollars on Stalag 17 this summer, which our inept council and you did not do a feasibility study on, or the needed services to your constituents?

Acoustic Alliance concert celebrates 4th anniversary BY BART MENDOZA | BEACH &BAY PRESS
For local fans of the singer-songwriter genre, there is probably no greater monthly event than the Acoustic Alliance. Gathering up a dozen local performers, who take the stage in shifts of four, playing round robin style, it’s the single best way to hear a large number of area artists in a single sitting. The event celebrates its fourth anniversary with a combination show and holiday party on Sunday, Dec. 14, at Brick by Brick in Bay Park. Helmed by promoter Cathryn Beeks, the series has gone from a gathering of musical friends to the area’s premiere acoustic showcase, attracting even traditionally nonacoustic musicians from hard rock to power-pop bands to the party. For her part, Beeks isn’t surprised by the Acoustic Alliances longevity. “There’s been such a great response from the beginning that I’ve never doubted this was an idea with staying power,” Beeks said. “It’s a unique setup, and with so many performers, it can’t help but be entertaining.” It’s a formula that can’t fail. Due to the short, quick sets, audiences can’t get enough of the performers they like, and the ones not so good, are off the stage in less than four minutes. To date, more than 225 musicians have performed at Acoustic Alliance. For this anniversary edition of Acoustic Alliance, with the
exception of Pete Thurston, who was unavailable, Beeks has put together the same bill that performed at its first edition. The lineup includes J Turtle, Zachary Goode, Scott Wilson, Thomas Lee, Christopher Dale, Matt Silvia, Marcia Claire, Michael Tiernan, Simeon Flick, Sven-Erik Seaholm and Lisa Sanders. Replacing Thurston will be Jeff Berkley. Rounding out the night’s activities will be a white elephant gift exchange and appearances from two bands, Katy Leigh & The Infantry and Happy Ron & The Pitter Patters. Beeks pointed out that there is no shortage of artists wanting to take part in the showcase, with a waiting list in the dozens. “I feel happy that so many people want to take part in this,” she said. “But it’s important to have the right mix of people. Especially with so many people moving here to take part in our music scene, a mix of new talent and established performers produces the best effect.” For Seaholm, whether onstage or in the audience, the attraction is the songwriting. “I’m a songwriter, so a showcase like this is important to me,” he said. “There aren’t many other music events that are song-centric and not about image but about songcraft. The added chance that the writer will offer insight to his or her work during their spot just makes the occasion that much

Free Holiday Concert on the Green DECEMBER 14TH • 4-6PM • KATE SESSIONS PARK, 5115 SOLEDAD ROAD Band
Winter Concert on the Green to Follow Annual PB Christmas Parade. The Popular Pacific Beach Concerts on the Green will include a special holiday concert on sunday, December 14th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at Kate Sessions Park. The free and festive musical event will feature the upbeat sounds of Sue Palmer and her Motel Swing Orchestra, a fan favorite who has performed at summer concerts in previous years.
n
The Pacific Beach Community Foundation and Concerts on the Green Committee are presenting the holiday concert as a gift to the neighborhood. “The people of Pacific Beach have embraced the summer concerts for the past 6 years. We hope this holiday concert helps fuel that community spirit and celebration,” said Georgina Smith, Chair of the Concerts on the Green Committee. Pairing it with the annual Pacific Beach Christmas Parade was a natural fit. “The holidays are too often full of demands and pressures. Spending a day with our neighbors at the parade and then at concert in the park is a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, “ said Don Mullen, President of the Pacific Beach Community Foundation.

cidence to be his good fortune. “The timing was perfect,” Crawford said. “He [Charlie Somol] was ready to sell after 18 years, and I wanted to come back.” Crawford and Somol knew each other since they worked together at the Old Ox and had remained friends. “I’m excited about this,” Crawford said. “It’s a great local place that’s a little off the beaten path.” According to Crawford, he’ll make some changes but preserve what’s already working well. He has already installed 12 new flat-screen televisions but will keep the restaurant’s name. “Everyone in North County has been calling me Charlie for the past 15 years, so why change it?” he laughed. The staff of 35 to 40 who serves and cooks for customers is also the same. “I inherited a very nice group of employees,” he said. He also appreciates his regular customers. “They are loyal to the restaurant and a great group of people,” he said. “Some come in for lunch every day.” Doug Gates, a Pacific Beach resident for 32 years, described the restaurant as the place where everybody knows your name. “I think I’ve tried everything at least once,” Gates said. His favorites include peppercorn steak for dinner and the chicken fried-steak for breakfast. Gates said he knew Crawford from the Old Ox restaurant. “Now everyone comes over here. Even if they’ve moved to Arizona, they come back when they’re in town.” Whether regulars or visitors, Good Time Charlie’s customers vary in age as well as hometowns. “I’m glad they all feel comfortable here,” Crawford said. In fact, Crawford and the staff encourage patrons to sit wherever they feel comfortable, whether

They can choose from the full menu throughout the entire day, plus breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. “We’ll be freshening the menu but keeping the favorites,” Crawford said. He likes to change the lunch and dinner specials, displayed on a chalkboard. “We usually have five or six specials to keep it interesting,” he said. On one particular night, the dinner specials included flat iron steak, sesame chicken linguini and chicken stroganoff. Crawford said that when he’s not at his own restaurant, he and his wife Nancy enjoy sampling the others in the neighborhood. The couple now makes their home in North Mission Beach and is looking forward to getting involved in the area again. On quick trips out of town, the Crawfords cheer on their children at college sporting events. Cody plays football at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Caitlin is a soccer player at Louisiana Tech. Crawford said that Cody would be moving home a few weeks after graduation in December, and wants to learn the restaurant business. It looks like being a restaurateur is in his son’s blood as well but Crawford has known for a long time that it’s been in his own, anyway. “I just know that it’s very rewarding when you can make people feel comfortable and happy,” Crawford said. Good Time Charlie’s is open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight; Friday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 a.m.; and Sunday, 9 a.m. to midnight.

Beach & Bay Tap Room L.A.B. The Concept: As many people may have noticed, Pacific Beach does not necessarily embrace the cultural diversity and art scene that areas such as North Park and Downtown feature, but the L.A.B at Taproom is bringing a little art and music to this side of the bay. The L.A.B, standing for local art and beer, features a new artist and beer sponsor each month with a different DJ soundtrack adding to the upbeat vibe. The Taproom hopes to expand to a different demographic while also providing a little change-up to the normal for its regulars. Currently L.A.B 's 5th installation is now on exhibit. The Featured Artist Bio: Abby Martin is a 24 year old local PB artist who dabbled into acrylic paints when she was 19 years old and found her niche. An avid lifetime artist, she started painting as just a hobby, but has recently started to take her talents more seriously and has since displayed her work at venues all over San Diego including 976 Cafe, Turquoise Coffee, The Urban Grind, Le Stats, Claire de Lune, Genesis Salon, Bar Basic, Rock Paper Scissors, Roots and Pangaea. Her painting process is painstaking. It's extremely elaborate and intricately detailed. But there is a method to the madness. She can never call a piece complete until every centimeter of swirls and dots are perfectly distributed. Her style could be described as explosive bursts of colorful energy carried by miniature supernovas of bombastic beauty that leaves you inspired.

“[A] good-running Model T will run about 35 miles per hour,” Bowker said. “If you get a push from the wind, going downhill you may get up to 45.” The main concern, he added, is that the rear brakes can lock up. “You just keep going,” he said. “The Model T is unique because it was the first mass-produced car,” Rising said. “The main difference is their simplicity. It has always fascinated me to see the inner workings. “They used the Model T for about
everything, from farm work to hauling stuff. Put it up on blocks and you could generate power for farm machinery.” According to Rising, they came in six different colors in 1909. But because the paint didn’t dry as quick as the cars were turned out from the assembly line, Henry Ford decided to use a fast-drying black enamel. So much for the myth that Henry once said: “You can get it in any color as long as it’s black.”

Up, Up & Away with Frosty the Flying Dog He was only an hour away from BY NICOLE SOURS LARSON | BEACH&BAY PRESS
W W W. A B D T U X E D O . C O M
his final destiny at a Los Angeles animal shelter when a kindly Jack Russell Rescue volunteer plucked him from death row. He had been a stray in a rough part of L.A., and his face is still scarred from beatings. Now, he’s renowned as Frosty the Flying Dog, with his own online video documenting his first aerial adventure. An 18½-pound white and tan Jack Russell-Chihuahua mix – or “Jackihuahua,” as his adoptive parent Douglas Poirier describes him – Frosty was “a bag of bones” when Poirier and his new wife Samia adopted him in January of 2007. Poirier, who enjoys an active lifestyle, was looking for an energetic dog as a companion when he found Frosty online. “When I first got him, he was a terror – a Jack Russell terror,” Poirier laughed amid Frosty’s need for constant attention. Poirier, who works from his Point Loma home, is fortunate to spend most of his time with Frosty, now about 3, who naps contentedly on his desk. Poirier and his wife quickly fell in love with Frosty. They rented every episode of “The Dog Whisperer” and became his “pack leader” while also signing up for training classes at the San Diego Humane Society. The well-trained Frosty now comes to the sound of a whistle and boasts a repertoire of signal-prompted tricks. Poirier, a financial advisor whose day is pegged to the opening and closing bells of the New York Stock Exchange, accustomed Frosty (“[the] staff all call him ‘Mr.’ Frosty,” Poirier said) to long after-
noon runs and regular visits to his favorite place, Dog Beach. When the stock market closed at 1 p.m. Pacific time, Poirier would take Frosty to Torrey Pines Gliderport, where Poirier enjoys paragliding. “It’s not an adrenaline sport, but [it’s] very gentle and restful,”
Frosty the flying dog awaits take-off with his owner and pilot Douglas Poirier at the Torry Pines gliderport.
Poirier said. “It’s good for taking your mind off the rest of your day,” providing a balance to his highpressure profession. But Frosty, now used to constant companionship and suffering from separation anxiety after his early trauma as an abandoned pooch, would get upset when his dad would take off for a flight. “Every time I’d leave him, he’d cry. It seemed he wanted to go. I found out that other dogs fly, and I thought he might like it. And he does,” Poirier said.
Before he could take Frosty flying, Poirier had to develop the right harness to ensure that Frosty could neither fall nor jump out. Working with the Gliderport’s Steve Stackable, a flight instructor also known as the “Wing Doctor” for his expertise in repairing paraglider canopies, Poirier went through five prototypes before arriving at his final solution. The men tailored a cushioned canine lifejacket so that it’s a snug fit for Frosty and clips securely to Poirier’s flight harness. “After the first flight I knew he loved it. Now, when I take out his little harness, he runs over and holds his feet up and he’s ready to go. He runs over and stands by the wing and waits for me,” Poirier explained. Once they step into the cliff updraft and their wing takes them aloft, Poirier and Frosty ride the ocean breezes, flying as far as a half-mile over the Pacific. “We chase birds together [while aloft]. If he spots a bird, he keeps his eye on it and tries to get me to go over and look at it,” Poirier said. Once they land, he releases Frosty, whom he’s recently taught to fetch the “stuff bag” that covers their wing. “The dogs have to have a great deal of trust in the pilot. It’s exhilarating but also terrifying and an amazing experience to share with a dog,” Jebb added. For information about Torrey Pines Gliderport, visit www.flytorrey.com/cms/.
