What should we expect for 2017? Local leaders look ahead at issues for the Peninsula BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

It was an eventful year in the Peninsula in 2016, and 2017 promises to provide more of the same. We asked Peninsulans in Ocean Beach and Point Loma to look ahead and tell us what they'd like to see – and not see – happen in the new year.

New flashing crosswalk for Silver Gate students’ safety Silver Gate Elementary students returned to campus this week after winter break with a new flashing crosswalk at the intersection of Catalina Boule-

vard and Orchard Avenue, behind the school in Point Loma. The new safety feature is part of the city’s Vision Zero plan to eliminate all traffic

deaths by 2025 and was adopted by the City Council last year. The plan calls for more visible crosswalks and signage along with pedestrian countdown

timers, audible pedestrian signals, street lighting, and flashing beacons to help make pedestrians and drivers more aware of their surroundings.

Second District Councilmember Lorie Zapf, chair of the Economic Development and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said, “2017 will be an exciting year as I will be focusing on job-creation, workforce readiness, reducing burdensome regulations and partnering with our education community. I will also be seeking assistance from our state and federal representatives to get San Diego's fair share of the promised funding to address problems in our communities related to drug abuse, homelessness and crime.” In Council District 2, Zapf looks forward to “continuing to repave our major roads in Point Loma and Ocean Beach, including West SEE 2017, Page 4

What bills have became laws in 2017 for California residents? BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

It's a new year and with it come new laws enacted annually by the state legislature. Not the least of which is the much-anticipated, initial minimum wage hike from $10.50 to $11.50 an hour for employees, which took effect Jan. 1. San Diego's Earned Sick Leave and

Minimum Wage Ordinance passed in 2016 gives city employees a $1 an hour minimum-wage hike, with all future increases to be tied to the Consumer Price Index beginning Jan. 1, 2019. At that time, if the state’s minimum wage increases above the city’s minimum wage, the state’s higher minimum wage will prevail. “More than a million hard-work-

ing San Diegans and Californians began receiving a pay raise that increases their ability to make ends meet for themselves and their families,” said Assembly member Todd Gloria (D-78th), who spearheaded passage of San Diego's minimumwage law as a city councilman. “With this investment in our workforce, we have taken a meaningful

step toward the principle that those who work full-time should not live in poverty. While there is still much more work to do, I am proud of our progress. I will continue to work in the State Assembly to improve the quality of life for working families and ensure our state continues to SEE LAWS, Page 7

San Diego Yacht Club named Platinum Club For the second time in the past four years, San Diego Yacht Club was ranked as the No. 2 yacht club in the country behind St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco in the Platinum Clubs of America rankings. Grosse Point Yacht Club, New York Yacht Club, and Annapolis Yacht Club round out the top five. Over the past two years, San Diego Yacht Club in Point Loma has facilitated improvements to maintain sustainable practices. In 2015, new LED lights were installed in many of the club’s buildings and on the entire marina, which has cut down the club’s energy consumption by approximately 10 percent each month. At the beginning of 2016, the entire kitchen was remodeled to include the latest technology in refrigeration, as well as a new pantry area to streamline work flow and ultimately enhance service efficiency and consistency. Most recently, San Diego Yacht Club has seen professional growth within its staff. In October, Tammy Hackney was promoted from food and beverage director to clubhouse manager. This sparked several other promotions in the food and beverage department to align with general manager Terry Anglin’s philosophy to promote from within whenever possible. “San Diego Yacht Club is thrilled

to receive this ranking and remain among the top five yacht clubs in the country. It would not be possible without the hard work of the San Diego Yacht Club board, membership and staff,” Anglin said. Tammy Hackney More than 3,000 club general managers, owners and presidents vote in the biennial election to select the Platinum Clubs of America, which represent the upper 5 percent of America’s Top Private Clubs of Excellence. The process to select these clubs transpires over a 90day period, after which the final votes are tabulated and certified by an independent third party. This is the most respected acknowledgement in the private club industry.

SD Airport offsets miles with The Good Traveler The Good Traveler, San Diego International Airport’s (SAN) carbon offset program, has offset more than 11 million air miles of travel in just over one year. The program, in which passengers can purchase credits good for offsetting the carbon emissions produced during their trips, has expanded to include two additional airports: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Austin-

Bergstrom International Airport. The Good Traveler provides an easy, affordable, and meaningful way for passengers to balance the impact of their travel. Launched in September 2015, the program has offset about 11.5 million air miles. “The Good Traveler is a key component of San Diego International Airport’s sustainability strategy,” said Brendan Reed, the airport’s Director of Environmental Affairs. “With every mile we offset, we’re making a tangible contribution to the fight against climate change.” By working together, all of The Good Traveler airports hope to create an industry-leading, sustainable travel experience for passengers and optimize the program’s “buying power” in terms of offsets. Currently, a $1 credit offsets 500 miles of air travel or 200 miles of automobile travel. Proceeds go toward conservation projects that help counteract the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment. Online purchasers can choose whether the funds go to U.S. programs such as a wind farm, forestry project and Colorado Delta Restoration project; or offsets that reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation in the Congo & Zambia. At SAN, Good Traveler offsets can be purchased at Ryan Bros. Coffee inside Terminal 1 and 2 and online at www.thegoodtraveler.org.

Question:

What items are on your list to do in the beginning of this year?

Taxes– First, let’s get our taxes prepared by a Certified Public Accountant. Improve upon your system to keep track of your tax matters for this coming year.

Answer:

Estate Planning- Next, make sure your estate planning documents are up to date and all of your assets are in the name of your trust(s). Also, double check who your beneficiaries are on your Virginia Weber Laskowitz retirement accounts and life insurance policies. If you have not prepared for your disability or death with estate planning documents, & Shannon T. O’Neill then it is time to do so. It will be more of a problem for your heirs if you do not do any planning. If you have not reviewed your documents in a long time (3-4 years), it is time to do so. Are your alternate Trustees and Executors appropriate? Are your children no longer minors and would it be appropriate to name them as successor Trustees and Executors? Preservation of Assets- This may mean repairing the roof to your or your parents home or selling assets in your retirement plan to provide you with sufficient cash for your first year’s withdrawal. You can inventory and keep track of your assets by simply making a list of them. Call an experienced financial planner for advice. Communicate- Write a letter or send a note to your family or friends. Phone a friend you have not spoken to in a long time.

Robert Tripp Jackson, community activist and immediate past president of the Point Loma Association, said he's always admired the Peninsula's fight in its belly. “When there is a 'common good' being harmed, our citizens step up and fight – quality of life in the village, power lines, billboards, trashy establishments, tacky signage, Sunset Cliffs, water quality, the airport, and in the 1980s with Dana Middle School – are prime examples,” Jackson said. “In 2016 height/size regulations and the flight path over the Peninsula were key topics.” Pointing out “our citizens stepped up and called for action,” Jackson added the mayor, Zapf and the Board of Supervisors “backed our community 100 percent with these important concerns. It seemed we all found common ground with positive solutions.” Looking ahead, Jackson stressed ensuring “our common goal for our community is met without deviation and 'bait and switch' methods. We need complete transparency on all levels. Our community needs to understand all points of view, and the practical approaches for positive change. “Our community can start by getting involved with the Point Loma Association and the Peninsula Community Planning Board. We need to work on the 'common ground and good,' and not have inner fighting. This is how we will be heard, loud and clear, to our elected officials.”

Lisa C. Johnson, president/CEO of the NTC Foundation, discussed her community “wish list” for this year. She noted “2017 is a milestone year that will mark the 10th anniversary of the NTC Foundation’s grand opening of Arts District Liberty Station, with the first arts groups open-

ing their doors. “In 2017, the NTC Foundation’s will further work to transform the formal military setting of the former Naval Training Center into a vibrant arts district by presenting exciting arts and culture programming for the public, including a free concert series and expanding 'installations at Lisa Johnson the Station,' temporary art installations throughout our 100 acres, as we strive to keep this destination authentic San Diego.” Johnson said NTC, over the next year, “will continue working to complete renovations to the remaining 10 historic Navy buildings, and bring in new tenants, while supporting the 120 galleries, museums, artists, studios, restaurants and cafés already here. We are proud of our '10 Years of Progress' and look forward to what the next 10 years will bring to this community treasure.”

helping to create awareness and encouragement, while prioritizing safety for all modes of transportation, which in the end, provides opportunities for more people to have a choice to commute safely by bike.” Burgess noted that “by investing in bikeways for the new Downtown Mobility Plan our city will become a bike mecca. To top it off, SANDAG will be implementing more than 100 miles of protected bikeways in the City of San Diego and with city collaboration, we will help create bold new ways to move through our city.” Burgess added that, “Our united pedaling voice must be taken seriously at the top, to transform our streets for safety, sustainability and health. I visualize an increase of riders taking the streets by bike, to enjoy their community, to become active and healthy, while escaping the hassles of traffic and parking. It’s an amazing transformation to become a bike commuter and offers fantastic rewards for all.” Contact Burgess at nicole23ob@gmail.com to learn how to enjoy your commute by bike.

Community Plan

Peninsula advocate

Freelance writer/editor/owner Kerri DeRosier said that, topping her community wish list for 2017 is “‘yes’ votes for the Point Loma business improvement district – a process that began in 2012.” She noted “the signed petitions, which reached the city’s threshold, were delivered to the City in February 2014.” Also on DeRosier's list is a community plan update for Point Loma. “Single-family homes in Roseville are being scraped and replaced with townhomes/condos with inadequate parking in an area that is already suffering from a lack of parking,” she said. “Alas, the City’s Development Services Department keeps stamping those development plans.” DeRosier also cited “unscrupulous developers who attempt to flout the city’s 30-foot height restrictions,” advocating “barring them from building anything in the City of San Diego.” DeRosier also expects homelessness to “continue to be an issue in Point Loma and throughout San Diego. It’s not just a downtown problem, though it is being treated as such. Perhaps a regional task force on solving the homeless problem across our communities is in order.”

In 2017, retired city councilmember/community advocate Byron Wear said, “I will continue to work on community-based projects including fundraising for the final phase of the Ryan/Peninsula YMCA on Valeta Street, planning a new OB Children's Playground honoring Ruth Held near the beach at Tower 2, development of a joint-use regional aquatic center for the Peninsula, and the beautification and enhancement of Nimitz Boulevard. “In addition, I will work on gaining approval for a new Aquatic Safety Center for our Junior Lifeguards and other aquatic programs in Mission Beach, and building and collaboration for more joint-use swimming pools throughout San Diego to teach urban kids to swim, and take steps to 'Continue the Conversation' on racism through education, awareness and understanding.”

Bicycling Obecian and bicycling advocate Nicole Burgess has “great visions for San Diego to become a world-class bike-friendly city and 2017 will be the year that we really get rolling. For 2017, we will applaud the efforts for Faulconer and other local leaders to take a stronger stance to prioritize the value of bike transportation for our residents, tourists and youth. “By repurposing our streets with our resurfacing efforts, the City is using tax dollars wisely and this is

PLHS In 2017, Point Loma High School principal Hans Becker said “students and staff are looking forward to the first phase of our whole site modernization that includes stadium improvements,” adding “the Point Loma Field Use Agreement will be followed closely.”

COMMUNITY Cabrillo National Monument Visitors Center wins community grant to restore habitat Cabrillo National Monument Visitors Center has received a $5,000 community grant award to help it restore and enhance native habitat. The American Society of Landscape Architects, San Diego Chapter (ASLA SD), in collaboration with the San Diego Native Plant Society, announced Cabrillo as the 2016 recipient of the community grant. The ASLA Community Grant was established in 1997 as a result of the chapter’s commitment to the local community. The grant is awarded to deserving community groups pursuing the cultural, aesthetic, and educational enhancement of their local environment. With the guidance of San Diego native plant expert Greg Ruben, as well as documents and planning prepared by local landscape architects, the Cabrillo project involves performing native habitat restoration and enhancement within 15 outdoor areas in the vicinity of the Cabrillo National Monument Visitor’s Center complex, comprising 5,990 square feet in total area. Of this amount, the project will completely restore 4,392 square feet of disturbed areas, and enhance 1,598 square feet of landscaped areas by introducing a selection of native plants conducive with the existing ornamental species to remain in these areas. This project is a collaboration between the Cabrillo National Monument staff and volunteers from the Native Garden Committee of the California Native Plant Society, (CNPSSD) San Diego Chapter. The purpose of the project is to provide native habitat enhancement/beautification of the grounds immediately associated with the Visitor’s Center complex that is both sustainable and educational. This fulfills simultaneous objectives of the U.S. National Park Service. The CNPSSD Native Garden Committee includes certified landscape architects who will create working construction-level drawings of the native habitat restoration and enhancement areas, including planting plans and specifications. The actual work effort to implement the project will be performed by a combination of Cabrillo National Monument workers/contractors and CNPSSD volunteers. The Community Grant is intended to enhance and to educate the community on landscape architecture, environmental issues and the value of landscape architecture and the use of licensed landscape architects. Each year the grant is supported by the proceeds of the annual ASLA/Community Grant Golf Tournament. The ASLA mission is to lead, educate, and participate in the careful stewardship, wise planning and artful design of the natural environment.

Planned Parenthood doubled the size of its Mission Bay Health Center, which will allow them to see more patients in a health center designed to maximize efficiency and give patients the best care possible. The health center, which has been in the same location for more than 15 years, was completely modernized and expanded from 1,900 to 3,300 square feet. The waiting room is colorful and full of comfortable coffeehouse-style seating with plugs for electronic equipment. Exam rooms have been equipped with everything staff members need to care for a patient in one location and health care providers are able to collaborate in a central work space surrounded by six exam rooms. “We paid attention to everything, from the hook on the back of the door in exam rooms to the number of steps staff takes to complete a visit,” said Lori Keim, senior director of business initiatives, who oversaw the expansion. “This attention to detail allows our staff to spend the most time possible with patients.” This expansion will allow the clinic to provide birth control, STD testing and treatment, abortion, UTI testing and treatment, and more to the people in Mission Bay and the surrounding communities.

LAWS CONTINUED FROM Page 1

provide opportunities for all workers to prosper,” Gloria said. Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law 898 bills in 2016. One of them was Senate Bill 3, the California Fair Wage Act of 2016, which also called for gradual increases to the state’s minimum wage until it reaches a maximum of $15 per hour on Jan. 1, 2022. Here are other laws that will take effect in California in 2017: Single-User Restrooms (Effective March 1, 2017): This bill requires all single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or government agency to be identified as all-gender toilet facilities. This bill would authorize inspectors, building officials, or other local officials responsible for code enforcement to inspect for compliance with these provisions.

broadens the definition of rape to include “all forms of nonconsensual sexual assault.” Assembly Bill 2888 also makes sexually assaulting an unconscious person a crime with a mandatory prison sentence. Rape, sexual assault and other sex offenses committed in 2017 will no longer be subject to a statute of limitations, under Senate Bill 813. Children’s safety: Schools already have strict rules for athletes who may have suffered head injuries – such as removing the athlete for the rest of the day and keeping them sidelined until they have been cleared by a licensed health care provider. Assembly Bill 2007 extends those rules to youth sports organizations, along with training for coaches on concussions. Toddler car seats: A bill to protect babies and toddlers, signed back in 2015, goes into effect this year, requiring parents to put children younger than 2 in a rear-facing car seat unless they are 40 inches tall or weigh 40 pounds. State law already requires children under 8 to ride in a car seat or booster seat, but it doesn’t specify which direction babies should face.

Motorcycles: California became one of the first states to define “lanesplitting,” formalizing a longstanding practice of motorcycle riders to squeeze through gridlocked traffic. Assembly Bill 51 authorizes the California Highway Patrol to develop Firearms: Six new gun control educational guidelines for weaving bills are taking effect in 2017, between lanes of stopped or mov- including a ban on assault rifles. ing vehicles.

PLHS basketball off and winning BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON

If pre-season tournament results are any indication, Point Loma High's boys basketball team is going to be playing beyond its youthful years this season. Fielding only two seniors, a group of younger players have propelled the Pointers to a 5-3 record in holiday tournaments at Sweetwater and Montgomery High Schools in the South Bay as they prepared for their Central League opener Jan. 3 at University City High School. New varsity head coach Josh Aros will have a strange victory to look back on as his first career win when Gompers Prep Academy forfeited its scheduled match for a 2-0 Pointer victory in the Sweetwater tournament. But just 24 hours later, his team produced a 62-39 blowout win over host Sweetwater to provide his first full-game triumph. The Pointers mounted a five-game winning streak that brought them to the semifinals of the Montgomery tourney where they took a strong Valhalla High team (entering the game with a 14-2 record) to the final buzzer in a 47-46 loss. Despite periods of poor shot selection and offensive rebounding, the Pointers showed they belong on the same court with the county's better teams. Ironically, the Norsemen then went on to play Ramona for the championship, a team the Pointers defeated two days earlier in a 70-69 overtime thriller. Statistics show quick improvement by the Pointers in areas such as turnovers. Opening the season with a too-high total of 23, the team cut that number to 10 in a 76-56 win over San Ysidro. The current average is down to 14 turnovers per game with four players compiling double-digit totals through seven games. The team is averaging 43 percent on three-point shots and 50 percent from the floor overall, both numbers that would please many college coaches. Leading three-point shooters are sophomore Riley Wagstaff (50 percent), Gharram (48 percent), freshman Dakarai Allen (45 percent), senior Darnell Johnson and junior Kyle Johnson with 38 percent each. Individually, Gharram leads the team with 20.8 points per game.

Dakarai Allen of Point Loma (4) drives to the basket through Steele Canyon defenders during a Sweetwater holiday tournament game. Yassine Gharram (24) looks on during the PHOTO BY SCOTT HOPKINS Pointers' 88-80 double overtime loss.

Two others also average in double figures, with D. Johnson turning in 16.5 and K. Johnson adding 11. K. Johnson is leading the team with 12.3 rebounds per game, meaning he is averaging a doubledouble (points and rebounds per game). Junior Carlos Amarrillaz is averaging 10.5 boards. Allen has dished out 61 assists, followed by Gharram (42), D. Johnson (17) and K. Johnson (13). Defensively, D. Johnson (12), K. Johnson (11) and Amarrillaz (10) lead the team in blocked shots. Allen (22), Gharram (16) and Darnell Johnson (14) lead in steals. An interesting new statistic converts every players' numbers to assume they played every minute of a full 32-minute game. Based on this, D. Johnson is scoring 24.4 points per full game followed by Gharram (24.1), Wagstaff (22.7), K. Johnson (15.6), Allen (10.9) and Amarrillaz (10.5). A revamping of the Pointers' Central League has taken place with San Diego and University City High

Schools added to previous members Christian, Coronado and Clairemont. Gone are Kearny and Madison. The Pointers continue to compete in San Diego CIF Div. III. The Pointers open the home portion of their league schedule Jan. 10 with a 5 p.m. tipoff against Christian in Lee Trepanier Gym on campus.

Extra points n The Pointer boys soccer team, defending CIF Div. II champions, are off to a 5-1 start, outscoring opponents by a 13-1 margin under head coach Elliott Savitz as they begin Western League play. n In girls soccer, the Pointers have compiled a 4-3-1 record in advance of Western League play. n The Pointers girls basketball team stands at 1-4 after its first win over Mission Viejo 36-28. They opened Eastern League play this week. n Girls water polo record is 3-5 heading into Eastern League play.

daily problem for residents in Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Fleetridge, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach.” Schnoor added “some of the issues are documented by data offered by the Airport Authority that indicates curfew violations and missed approaches have been, and continue to, increase while total operations remain flat. These data increases directly conflict with the broad FAA statement that (prior to the Nov. 10, 2016 initial implementation of new Metroplex routes) 'nothing has changed' and helps to explain in part the public perceptions over 2015\2016, while illustrating the magnitude of a growing problem that will likely deteriorate further if unchecked as SAN traffic increases over time.” Community watchdog Schnoor said that, looking forward, “community participation at ANAC and the ANAC Subcommittee, while continuing to communicate directly with the respective political representation and community planning groups, will be critical to maintain awareness and retain focus on the issues to work towards solutions with the Airport Authority and the FAA.”

Peninsula planners Jon Linney, community advocate and chair of the Peninsula Community Planning Board, looks forward

THE THE

to 2017 being “the year of substantial progress on the Peninsula’s newest park.” He noted the proposed pocket park site on city-owned land at the upper end of Avenida de Portugal along Canon Street was little more than an idea for 26 years. “One possible vision is taking shape,” said Linney. “Community advocates have bounced around design concepts on what we call Portuguese Village Park and, yes, we even have pictures. We’ll begin a series of public presentations soon to foster the civic discussion.” Linney added the park vision “includes lush vegetation, striking monuments celebrating the neighborhood’s history and culture, and play centers to spark children’s imagination. We believe it can be unlike anything we have ever seen. The formal design and approval process will kick off later with public workshops. Meantime, we as a community can talk about what can be.” Community activist and planner Don Sevrens noted there were “a number of community successes (from 2016) we can build on this year. The eyesore on Plum Street has been addressed. The 40-foot outrage on Evergreen has been lopped, the Municipal Code has been revised to prevent future abuses, and safeguards are being written to protect Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach and La Jolla. Let's have a public discussion on guiding the future of the entire Roseville neighborhood including the creation of public spaces.”

Sevrens added, “Avenida de Portugal can become a dream street, capped at the ends by the Portuguese consulate and a special park All it takes is our vision and our energy.”

Sunset Cliffs Sunset Cliffs Natural Park has two major projects in process: 1) the Hillside Improvement Project, which is a major California Coastal Conservancy grant project including native habitat restoration and safe access trails in the park’s 50 acre hillside section, and 2) design of the long awaited comprehensive drainage plan for the park. The Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Council is pleased that the City has budgeted for much needed ranger services and increased lifeguard attention for Sunset Cliffs and other shoreline parks. The Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Council, the officially recognized advisory group for Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, meets at the Cabrillo Recreation Center from 6:45 to 8:15 p.m. on the first Monday of every month with exceptions for holidays. The next meeting will be held on Jan. 9. The public is welcome.

Local man gets court date for allegedly stalking woman BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON

A trial date of April 17 was set on Dec. 23 for a Pacific Beach man who is accused of pointing a gun at a La Jolla woman after he scaled a wall to reach her upstairs condominium. Michael Anthony Davee, 52, appeared before San Diego Superior Court Judge David Danielsen on Dec. 23. He again entered a not guilty plea to the charges of assault with a deadly weapon, stalking, and making a criminal threat. A La Jolla woman testified Nov. 30 that Davee, her ex-boyfriend, crawled between two trees and scaled a wall to reach her upstairs condominium balcony and he pointed a gun at her on Sept. 22. The woman testified in the preliminary hearing that she ran out the door with her dog after Davee, 52, also pointed the gun at his own head at one point. Judge David Gill also ordered Davee to stand trial for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, receiving a firearm while under a temporary restraining order, resisting an officer, and disobeying a court order. Davee remains in jail on $300,000 bail.

‘Being a small-business owner means finding creative and sustainable ways to support others making a difference.’ SANDY HANSHAW THE WINE PUB OWNER

Point Loma eatery dishes up generosity for local nonprofits The Wine Pub, a restaurant and wine destination, raised close to $9,000 for regional causes and organizations in 2016. The list of recipients included The Breast Cancer Fund, Canine Companions for Independence, Corazon de Vida, San Diego Down’s Syndrome, All Souls Episcopal Church and the San Diego LGBT Community Center. “Being a small-business owner means finding creative and sustainable ways to support others making a difference in your neighborhood,” said Sandy Hanshaw, owner of The Wine Pub. “It’s important that when our customers come in for great food and wine, that they also get a taste of community engagement and feel-good fun.” According to Hanshaw, The Wine Pub makes a resolute effort to weave giving back into everything they do – from large events that draw hundreds of friends together to small, neighborhood gatherings over a simple dinner for two. This year, the pub's biggest event remained Bike for Boobs – a bike ride and outdoor auction supporting The Breast Cancer Fund. As a breast cancer survivor, Hanshaw celebrates Bike for Boobs as the merging of a personal triumph and supporting a local, heartfelt cause. More under-the-radar, The Pub’s weekly Woofer Wednesday special donated 10 percent of every person’s check that dined in with a four-legged friend. The North County-based nonprofit Canine Companions for Independence was the beneficiary for this weekly fundraiser in 2016. Outside of its self-hosted events, the Point Loma restaurant also participated in Dine Out For Life – a citywide fundraiser for the San Diego LGBT Community Center every April. “Though our donation wasn’t monumental in size, joining this event taught me just how far a small amount can go. We feel very proud to have done our part,” said Hanshaw. The Wine Pub plans to exceed its goal to raise $10,000 for local causes by bringing Point Loma a mix of familiar favorites as well as new philanthropic fun.

SeaWorld San Diego unveiled plans on Jan. 3 for its new attraction – the Electric Eel roller coaster – featuring multiple-launch elements, high-energy twists, and heartpounding loops. It will expand the park’s new Ocean Explorer realm set to open later this summer as part of the park’s largest new attraction premiere in its history. Following the opening of three new attractions in 2017 – Ocean Explorer, the new Orca Encounter and the all-new summer nighttime extravaganza Electric Ocean – Electric Eel will cap a 24-month period of growth for the 53-year-old park. Electric Eel will join Manta and Journey to Atlantis as the third coaster-type ride experience at SeaWorld San Diego. It will be constructed on an approximately twoacre site on the eastern side of the park between the currently underconstruction Ocean Explorer attraction and Journey to Atlantis. The ride is expected to open in 2018. “Electric Eel will bring a whole new level of excitement to SeaWorld,” said SeaWorld San Diego’s park president Marilyn Hannes. “This new, first-of-its-kind coaster at SeaWorld will give riders the rare opportunity to feel what it’s like to move like an eel as they twist and flip along nearly 900 feet of undulating track.”

Electric Eel will feature loops, twists and airtime. Multiple-launch experiences will propel riders forward and backward as they speed through the ride’s station house accelerating to more than 60 miles per hour in seconds. The ride is expected to open in summer 2018.

We moved! Dr. Matt Sanicki of Point Loma Chiropractic, previously CRAC at Liberty Station, is proud to announce that the office is moving from the Village of Point Loma to the Midway District starting January 2017. PLC has served Point Loma's chiropractic needs for over 30 years, earning Beacon awards for the last 5 years. Dr. Matt and his team are excited to continue this service at the new Midway office.

for an exciting feeling of airtime as riders crest the top before breathlessly returning to the station. This adrenaline-pumping coaster will offer riders the only upside-down view of Mission Bay. Complementing the Electric Eel roller coaster is the Ocean Explorer experience, which will include a hypnotic live eel habitat featuring

one of the world’s most extensive collections of moray eels. Through large viewing windows, visitors may view the eels as they swim and dart through the caves and crevasses of their tank. With Electric Eel, SeaWorld’s Deep Blue creative design team will fuse the experience of a coaster with an educational eel exhibit.

Crafthounds, a new and unique on-demand delivery business, has partnered with local alcohol vendors, bottle shops and breweries to create what a company representative described as the largest craft beer marketplace in the craft beer capital of the world. “There are other delivery services that do beer, wine and liquor, but we really wanted to focus and specialize,” said Adam Gendler, director of marketing services for Crafthounds. “There are so many different nuances to the craft beer culture that we can really customize our platform, and help users explore and discover new beers.” Gendler said that unlike other delivery services, Crafthounds customers aren’t limited to just their local grocery store. Users can input their address and see all the craft beer available within a five-mile radius. He added that the company currently works with 26 local retailers, including Best Damn Beer Shop, Keg N Bottle, Best Quality Liquor Store, Craft City, The Craft Gurus and 32 North Brewing.

Order your favorite craft beers through www.crafthounds.com and have them delivered.

CraftHounds is also offering its customers growlers on demand from a number of breweries and tasting rooms. The company is currently pursuing a number of options to expand its list of choices. Another advantage Gendler pointed out is that consumers can compare prices to find the best deals available, and purchase from the store of their choice within the network. Founded by a close-knit group of family and friends that wanted to start a microbrewery, Crafthounds was begun as a way to promote the idea of discovery. “At our root, we’re really not a delivery service,” Gendler said. “We’re in business to empower people to be adventurous, explore and try new things. There is nothing better than finding a new craft beer that you just love.” Every beer has a detailed summary, which includes a description, tasting notes and food pairings. The site also provides personalized recommendations based on customer taste preferences. According to Gendler, delivery fees run between $2 and $6. Delivery

times vary between an hour or less and can be scheduled. Gendler said that with more than 115 breweries, and 1,300 craft beer stores, San Diego was a fitting place to start their unique business. “We started here because the city is the craft beer capital,” he said. “San Diego was always at the top of our list because of the number of breweries, but the biggest thing for us was always the craft beer culture.” Restaurant entrepreneur Alex Carballo, owner of Moto Deli and Fresco Pizzeria & Grill, said that having a unique delivery service such as Crafthounds in the craft Mecca of the United States is like having the gaps filled in with convenience and diversity. “Overall, delivery services have been lax and confined to a specific geographic area,” he said. “If a company can target the more festive selections and deliver a premium quality beer, that’s excellent.” Thomas Michalsky of Pacific Beach recalled having to call Uber for a ride to the liquor store when the beer ran out during his wife’s birthday party recently. “It would have been easier and cheaper had I known about this service before,” he said. “I could have ordered premium beer and not missed out on time with my guests.”

HomeStreet Bank recently announced the opening of a new bank branch in the Point Loma neighborhood at 1110 Rosecrans St., Suite 101. Raymond Simas will manage the new branch. Simas comes to HomeStreet Bank with

more than 35 years of experience at San Diego financial institutions. Maria Gorete Correia will serve as the customer service supervisor and comes to HomeStreet with 32 years of experience serving the financial needs of customers.

LIFESTYLE Gaby Aparicio’s Latin rhythms move hips in San Diego 16

THURSDAY · JANUARY 5, 2017

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON

One of the things that shows just how healthy San Diego’s current music scene is, is the fact that genres beyond the usual pop, rock, soul and hip-hop, such as jazz, reggae and Latin sounds, are also flourishing. One such example is Point Loma resident Gabriela Aparicio, who specializes in the latter and performs locally with her band, La Buena Onda. She arrived in San Diego in February 2014, from Florida, though her family is originally from Uruguay. Aparicio was drawn by the area’s vibrant music community. “My intention was to further my music career while living in a great vibe,” she said. “I also wanted to be able to wake up every morning and hike on a mountain if I was so inclined, and also learn to surf.” Aparicio performs two shows this weekend, Jan. 7 at Lestats in Normal Heights (8 p.m.) and Jan. 8 at the La Jolla Farmer’s Market (10 a.m.). Now a veteran of the stage, she has been performing for two decades. While in Florida, she performed with a more pop-oriented sound, but her move west signaled a shift in influences. Now singing in both English and Spanish and incorporating Latin rhythms, Aparicio notes that she’s “always wanted to incorporate my South American roots with my

music,” she remarked. “I think the confidence to just go for it had to happen, which truly did when I came out here.” Aparicio had previously experimented with writing in both languages in the past, “but then I added the occasional Italian. I like to experiment. I also love rhythms, and I have so much fun playing the Latin stuff, especially when friends drop by and join the set. Dancing usually ensues, and we end up all feeling good.” She considers that her bi-lingual music opens up her music to wider audiences. “This hybrid style that I

have is a nice niche,” Aparicio said. “I know in my heart that there are so many other people out there that can relate, who are either from a different country and grew up here, or are first-generation parents who emigrated. It’s a whole different upbringing with dual cultures. So there is a need for that.” Aparicio performs around town in various formats, each with its own strengths. She enjoys playing solo, as that gives her a chance to experiment with material and presentation. “In that setting, I get to try new things

with my voice and loop pedal, as well as challenge myself to create beats and play more dynamic.” That being said, her preferred shows are with her full band. “There’s no greater feeling of that collective, magical energy that happens when musicians that have chemistry collaborate. And when the crowd dials in, we’re all feeling that moment of pure source energy.” Aparicio is happy with the success she’s had since her move to San Diego, pointing out that music is a tough business, but worth it. “I would rather wake up every day and struggle at doing what I love, than doing what I don’t want and being miserable,” she said. “It may be tough, but it’s not impossible to have a music career. Being famous is one thing. But there are so many different ways of making money, I believe you have to be smart and just get creative with the business side of things to figure out what works best for you. “ The next year will see the release of Aparicio’s third full length album, more touring and recording. “Being able to sustain myself fully off my music, that’s the goal,” she laughed. Aparicio is succinct when it comes to what she loves about her chosen career. It’s simple. “It’s being able to create something out of absolutely nothing,” she said. “And then making people feel good because of it.”

Plaza de Panama project wins City Council approval A City Council majority gave final approval last month to the Plaza de Panama project that will transform Balboa Park for future generations by creating more than six acres of vehicle-free parkland, gardens and plazas in the heart of the park. “We can now seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform San Diego’s crown jewel for the next century,” said Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer. “This public-private partnership will reclaim the heart of Balboa Park for pedestrians and return the Plaza de Panama to its original grandeur. With the support from the City Council and great civic

leaders like Dr. Irwin Jacobs, the grand restoration of Balboa Park can finally begin.” The long-stalled project will remove traffic from the historic heart of Balboa Park; create 6.3 acres of parkland, gardens and pedestrian-friendly plazas; and increase parking. The $79 million project will be financed through a combination of paid parking revenues in the new garage, city funds earmarked for major capital projects and about $30 million in private philanthropy, led by the Plaza de Panama Committee and its chairman Dr. Irwin Jacobs, the Qualcomm cofounder. Originally approved by the

City Council in 2012, under the leadership of former Mayor Jerry Sanders, the project was held up by a legal challenge that was overturned with a victory by project proponents at the appellate court level – a ruling that was affirmed by the California Supreme Court. “Future generations will look back on today and thank everyone involved for their vision and determination, especially Dr. Jacobs,” said City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. “Now that the California Supreme Court has blessed this project, there can be no question that it is legally sound in addition to being enormously beneficial to Balboa Park.”

OBITUARY Richard Louis Eastman Richard Louis Eastman, a lifelong resident of Point Loma, passed away on Dec. 30, 2016. Richard was 24. Richard was born on Sept. 3, 1992 and attended Loma Portal Elementary, Dana Middle School, Correia Junior High, and Point Loma High School graduating in the Class of 2010. Richard was a tech kid. He loved studying anything science, technology, engineering and math related, but eventually found his calling in chemistry. He welcomed any discussion of a technical nature and was always excited to learn new things. He attended San Diego Mesa College and later transferred to the University of California, Irvine where he majored in chemistry, and had hopes of attending graduate school in chemistry or medicine. From Richard’s earliest childhood, he had a love of fishing. He started fishing off of the Shelter Island Pier with his dad about the time he started walking, and throughout his life enjoyed fishing the local islands and Southern California coastlines with his family. He also enjoyed his countless summers at the Mission Bay Sports Center sailing and kayaking around the Mission and San Diego bays, Karate at USA Freestyle, and Padres games with batting practice chasing home runs and autographs. Richard was an avid baseball player and started training at 4-years-old with coach Brisco’s training camp at Cabrillo Elementary where he learned to grab a ball and hurl it. Over the next 12 years, he played baseball with his dad as his coach at Peninsula Little League and Tecolote Youth Baseball, and played on Point Loma High School’s freshman team before being sidelined with ankle injuries. Even with the ankle injuries, he often helped his dad coach his brother Andrew’s baseball and sister Allison’s softball teams. Richard also had a season on the Point Loma High swim team. Richard was a fierce protector of his sister and brothers and had a natural patience and gentleness for kids. Whether he was battling in Mario Cart game sessions on the Nintendo with Andrew and Allison, helping them with Spanish, math or physics homework,

wrestling and reading Daniel Tiger stories to Owen, being the fearless Legoland rider with cousins Simon and Michaela, or playing airplane with cousin David, Richard was always ready to scoop them up in his loving arms with a huge smile and a big bear hug. Richard had a lot of fun with his grandparents too, including his weekly “Nana days” spent gardening, visiting San Diego’s playgrounds and baking cookies with his Nana and Char; sleepovers and bottomless pancakes with his Bubbe and Zaydeh; and long weekends at grandma’s where he built fantastic model car tracks and skyscrapers and enjoyed the steady supply of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. In addition to his human family, Richard loved his dogs, and has been the loving caregiver for Junior and Juniorette – his two ball python’s for the past 12 years. Richard never missed an opportunity to extend a helping hand to his family, friends and neighbors, and he will be forever missed but his spirit will live on in the people that love him. Richard is survived by his dad and stepmom, Gary and Dawn Eastman, his mother Amy Snyder, sister Allison, brothers Andrew and Owen, grandparents Saul and Sonya Snyder, Barbara Rose, Char Katz, and countless extended family members who will all miss him dearly. A Celebration of Life service is being held at the Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 6. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Tecolote Youth Baseball.
