Man charged in Midway mayhem Preliminary hearing set for March 22 BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON

BUBBLY SUNSET Alan (Dead Alan) James creates giant bubbles at sunset in Ocean Beach last month.

A March 22 preliminary hearing was set for a driver who allegedly struck two pedestrians in the Midway area while driving under the influence of alcohol and dragging one of them hundreds of feet. A mayhem charge has been filed against Yosvaldo Steven Sixco, 22, due to the seriousness of the injury to one pedestrian. Sixco is also charged with hit and run, evading police with reckless driving, and causing serious injuries in the Dec. 18,

The pedestrian was dragged almost to Rosecrans Street. He and his friend, 25, were taken to a hospital. Police responded to the hit and run around 10:15 p.m. and were told the damaged vehicle fled on eastbound Rosecrans. About 90 minutes later, the damaged car was SEE MAYHEM, Page 4

Ocean Beach’s Ranchos reinvents itself as Hugo’s Cocina HUGO’S COCINA

BY MARK-ELLIOTT LUGO | THE BEACON

Where: 1830 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., Suite H., one block south of Newport Avenue.

The sudden closing last November of Ranchos Cocina, a landmark Ocean Beach restaurant that attracted visitors from miles away, sent shock waves throughout the community and left lovers of its forward-looking approach to Mexican cuisine in mourning. Now, only a few months later,

the future is considerably brighter. Thanks to the partnership of three long-time Ocean Beach residents, Hugo Carrillo, Patrick Clingaman, and Matt Cook, Ranchos has been reinvented in the form of a new establishment, Hugo’s Cocina. Appropriately named after Carrillo, a well-liked figure in local eateries, Hugo’s opened on Feb. 24 in the space formerly occupied by

Ranchos. Carrillo, who serves as Hugo’s general manager, joined the beach-area restaurant scene in 1991 when, as a young man, he began working at Maria Isabella’s, a small taco shop located on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. A few years (and several expansions) later, the shop morphed into Ranchos.

Matt Cook, Patrick Clingaman, and Hugo Carrillo are responsible for bringing the flavor of Ranchos back in OB with Hugo’s Cocina.

San Diego expands electric vehicle charging stations To help meet the goals of San Diego’s landmark Climate Action Plan, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer was joined on Feb. 13 by Councilmember Lorie Zapf and environmental leaders in Ocean Beach to announce the City has more than doubled the size of its electric vehicle charging station program. “We hope that by locating charging stations in popular destinations, it’s easier and more convenient to use electric vehicles as well as encourage more people to purchase electric vehicles,” Faulconer said.

“You can enjoy staying at a park, beach or library a little longer knowing you can charge your car there.” By increasing the number of electric vehicle ports from 32 to 68, the City now has charging stations at 15 different locations citywide. With the new installations, San Diego continues to lead the way on environmental issues and takes another step toward slashing greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2035 – a key goal of the Climate Action Plan. Local charging stations are at Mission Bay Aquatic Center (3), South

De Anza Cove (4), Bonita Cove (4), and the Ocean Beach Lifeguard Tower parking lot (2). The stations were funded through a $500,000 grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC). The City’s Economic Development Department secured the grant with partners Center for Sustainable Energy, San Diego Gas & Electric and OpConnect, a charging station operator and manufacturer. The City’s charging station rates are $1.75-1.80 per hour, vehicles can be charged using credit cards.

Midway planners hear about Mid-Coast Trolley strategy BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

Ask The Trust & Estate Attorneys SM

Question:

My child is having their 18th birthday soon, is there anything that I need to know?

At the age of eighteen your child is no longer a minor in this state. You can no longer get health information from their doctors or deal with their school and the paperwork. Your child needs to make their own decisions in their Advance Healthcare Directive regarding whether or not they want their life artificially prolonged and whether they want to donate organs. They also need to name an agent to make healthcare decisions for them in the event that they cannot do so for themselves. It is also a good idea for them to name an agent on a Power of Attorney to perform financial transactions for them and access their bank account.

She also discussed changes to community planning groups proposed recently by Scott Sherman, new chair of the city's Smart Growth and Land Use Committee. “He's (Sherman's) proposed making some changes in the 32 community planning groups including regionalizing them, and reducing their numbers by combining them,” Kenton said adding the committee is also considering relaxing regulations on companion units, making approval of “granny flats” easier.

‘Bag Trick Bandit’ has prelim hearing set for bank robbery

In order to fix this, I had my son sign an Advance Healthcare Directive and Power of Attorney on his 18th birthday! While at age eighteen your child may not be ready to create a Trust, having an Advance Healthcare Directive and Power of Attorney in place can save their family a lot of trouble in the event that something does happen. Have them come in and create these documents before they go away to college!

Midway Community Planning Group got briefed in February by the San Diego Association of Governments on a plan to implement the Mid-Coast Trolley extension linking Santa Fe Depot downtown to Westfield UTC, serving major activity centers along the way, including Old Town. SANDAG is San Diego's regional transportation planning agency. SANDAG senior regional planner Miriam Kirshner gave a presentation on the implementation strategy for the Mid-Coast Mobility Hub in the Old Town Transit Center. The Mid-Coast Trolley will offer a oneseat ride from the international border to University City when it's completed in 2021. The Mid-Coast Mobility Hub Implementation Strategy will identify services and amenities for stations like Old Town, which may include improved pedestrian and bike connections, secure bike storage, on-demand ride sharing services, wayfinding and supporting technologies. “We're in the very early stages of data gathering and public outreach,” said Kirshner, noting MidCoast is “a new project being funded

by a grant from the Federal Transit Administration.” Kirshner added the implementation strategy is meant to “improve connections between neighborhoods and the transit centers.” Pointing out mobility hubs are “nothing really new or innovative,” Kirshner said hubs allow “additional bike and pedestrian improvements including bike lanes, raised crosswalks with street markings and creation of new bike storage bins and racks.” SANDAG officials also passed out an implementation strategy questionnaire to fill out surveying trolley users on whether or not they have a Compass Card, a smartphone, whether they use shared mobility services like Uber, Lyft or other ride sharing, how often they use the trolley — and for what purpose — as well as asking them what their primary destination is using the trolley. MCPG, which makes recommendations to the city on land use and issues of concern in the MidwayPacific Highway corridor near Old Town and the airport, got other good news in February.

The man suspected of robbing a Midway Drive bank twice, and a bank on Genesee Avenue as part of the “Bag Trick Bandit” series has a preliminary hearing set for Wednesday, March 29. Jonathan Kevin McCant, 39, is accused of stealing $12,138 from four hold-ups in which the same teller at the U.S. Bank at 3645 Midway Drive was robbed twice on dif-

ferent days, according to court documents. The reason for the nickname is due to the suspect putting his hand into a bag as if he was holding a gun to the teller at the start of the series, which began Dec. 21, 2016, and ended Jan. 22. Charges say McCant displayed a black handgun in the last three robberies. McCant has pleaded not guilty to four robberies, two attempted robberies at other banks, stealing a UHaul truck, and evading police officers with reckless driving. He was arrested Jan. 23 by San Diego Police after they followed him in a stolen U-Haul truck with missing license plates. Officers illuminated their red lights and sirens and McCant drove the U-Haul into a median. It jumped a curb, hit two parked cars, a road sign, and continued into the YMCA Mission Valley parking lot. He

crashed into a parked car and fled on foot. Officers commanded him to come out of some brush, but he refused until a police dog was released and bit him. Police recovered clothing worn in the first two robberies in the U-Haul, but none of the money was found. McCant is charged with robbing the same teller twice in robberies on Jan. 8 and 22 in the Midway Drive bank. He concealed a pistol in a grocery shopping bag to a female teller, and allegedly robbed her. He then gave a bag to a male teller, pointed a gun at him, and demanded he fill the bag as well. A San Diego Superior Court judge set bail at $800,000. He remains in the Vista Detention Facility. Court records say he was convicted of auto theft in 2004 and grand theft in 2015.

Planning Board approves liquor shop BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

Overriding concerns from some neighbors, Peninsula Community Planning Board voted overwhelmingly in February to allow Sunshine Liquor to relocate up Voltaire Street to a strip mall near a consignment shop and a music center offering children lessons. About a dozen merchants and nearby residents split about evenly on their testimony for and against the convenience store's relocation. Supporters cited Sunshine's long history of being a “good neighbor,” keeping vagrants away and having an unblemished police record. Opponents, particularly other tenants in the strip mall on the corner of Voltaire and Wabaska Drive where Sunshine would be relocating, said it's the wrong place for a liquor store. They argued it would negatively impact their neighborhood inviting the wrong element and exacerbating parking and traffic problems. PCPB board member Mark Krencik noted the advisory group's subcommittee voted 7-0 for the project. “We did require some conditions that would go along with our approval, including hours of operation, making a loading zone available for all mall tenants and replacing any existing or damaged landscaping,” Krencik said. He

noted store hours would be 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays, closing an hour later at 11 p.m. on weekends. Peter Najor of the family owned and operated Sunshine Liquor store said they lost their lease at their previous location at 3911 Voltaire St., temporarily putting them out of business and necessitating the move. “We're just trying to get approval to go on with our lives again – this is our livelihood,” Najor said. Asked by PCPB board member Don Sevrens if they'd searched the area for other more suitable sites to relocate to, applicants replied they had, and that their search turned up no other viable alternatives. From the audience, several local residents testified that the Najors and Sunshine Liquor exhibited exemplary behavior during 16 years of operation in the community. One woman said the Najors “kept their place immaculate,” adding “they never had problems with transients and I really felt safe.” But not everyone was thrilled by

the prospect of a new liquor store nearby. Neighbor Mike Stevens called out Sunshine, claiming they were guilty of “sign clutter” in violation of city codes. He also asked the PCPB board to postpone a decision on the proposed relocation, arguing the community hadn't been offered proper notice to weigh-in on the matter. Another neighbor said they were angry about being deceived regarding the mall's new tenants. He said he'd been told a high-end wine and cheese shop was coming, not a fullblown liquor store. Scot Taber, owner of Paper Moon, a music lessons studio in the strip mall, spoke against Sunshine’s relocation. “If you had a business catering to children, and you learned a liquor store was going in next door – I don't think you'd be very happy about that.” Taber said. “The parents of our students are also alarmed at this.” Expressing concern about the potential harm Sunshine's relocation could pose to neighboring merchants, PCPB board member Jerry Lohla asked if the applicants would consider “not having the word liquor on their signage.” The applicant responded they were considering renaming their new store as “deli and spirits.” The PCPB Board voted 11-1 to allow Sunshine Liquor's relocation.

How to save thousands when selling your home When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. A

NEWS Regional cycling hub proposed at Liberty Station BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

To create a hub for enthusiasts of all types is the inspiring vision behind bringing a new bicycling center to Liberty Station. At a gathering at Stone Brewery on Feb. 16, members of the San Diego County Bike Coalition met informally to discuss reuse of an existing structure, the 20-by-80 foot Building 191. The structure was the 191th building constructed at the former Naval Training Center. Located on dedicated city parklands, now-vacant Building 191 straddles a major spur on the San Diego bike path system. “We've been thinking for a long time of having this hub,” said Andy Hanshaw, SDCBC's executive director. “We see it as a place for people not only to engage with cycling, but to learn more about it.” New SDCBC member Elizabeth Thibodeau noted the effort to create a new regional cycling hub is all about “promoting healthy, safe riding for everybody. If we want to get people out of their cars and on a bike – they need to feel safe.” Many other communities, including Long Beach, Calif. and Vancouver, Canada, have created physical spaces serving as bicycle centers. Why not San Diego?, asks the SDCBC, a nonprofit, which is prepared to act on behalf of the local cycling community to acquire, reha-

bilitate and operate Building 191. SDCBC board member Richard Opper noted a new cycling hub would “enhance cycling culture,” encouraging people to “get on bikes and use them.” But Opper added there are hurtles to be cleared in creating a regional cycling center. “This is an old maintenance shed the city was just going to mow down because they didn't have the funds to turn it into something: It's just sitting there,” he said. “We're saying we'll raise the money, fix it up.” Opper though admitted Building 191 will be challenging to convert given its relatively small size and long, narrow configuration. “Which is why we've come up with the idea of adding porticos and decks around the outside, to help make the building usable without moving hallways in the middle of the building,” said cycling enthusiast Ron Miriello. Miriello said a new cycling center would connect to Harbor Drive and the Bayshore Bikeway, providing a direct and safe bike path to downtown and beyond. “The cycling center would be part of enhancing that network,” said Miriello, noting there's currently no place in San Diego for bike enthusiasts “to share and get together short of a club.” Miriello said the maintenance building could be utilized by a com-

bination of nonprofit and for-profit cycling entities. “This could be meeting space for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (which sponsors cycling in a triathlon), industry experts and the bike coalition,” he said. “It might also have historical spaces, where people could see how cycling has affected us during the last 100 years.” “A museum – yeah,” chimed in Thibodeau, adding, “We're looking for a place to have a race, or training races.” Pointing out Building 191's “fortuitous” location, Miriello described the game plan for redeveloping it. “The first step is securing the building,” he said. “The next thing is getting funding.” Miriello added the coalition is “pretty confident” a number of funding mechanisms are available to make the Liberty Station cycling center a reality. Miriello talked about another benefit of a centralized cycling hub. “We really want to build up bicycle tourism in this region for visitors and residents,” he said. Hanshaw said a cycling hub would fit neatly in with the city's Climate Action Plan, which he noted “calls for a 6 percent commuter mode share by 2020, 18 percent by 2035. We've been hovering around 1 percent for years.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

NEWS Fundraising drive begins for new veterans plaza in Ocean Beach BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

The Ocean Beach Community Development Corporation has kicked off its long-awaited fundraising drive to create a new and improved plaza honoring military veterans. “We got the right of entry permit that gives us access to the project on park and rec land,” said OBCDC president Tom Perrotti, of progress in redoing the veterans memorial, plans for which include relocating it to the end of the green space near the OB lifeguard tower. “The old (memorial) design was just no longer tenable. So we took this project on four or five years ago.” Created in 1993, the OBCDC is a nonprofit benefiting Ocean Beach by developing resources for revitalizing the infrastructure of the community applying the OB “spirit.” OB Veterans Plaza at the corner of Newport Avenue and Abbot Street was constructed in 1997 as a memorial to honor all military veterans. Due to salt-air and foot-traffic erosion, the existing plaza is currently in disrepair with many of the inscriptions now illegible. Dave Martin, OBCDC treasurer, said the fundraising drive will be aided by “creating a video presentation to help us as we put together several fundrais-

ing events. I am working on plans to have our first fundraising event in Ocean Beach by the end of March.” Martin admitted the fundraising goal is ambitious. “Our estimated cost for completion of the project is $1 million,” he said. The vision for the new Ocean Beach Veterans Plaza is for it to have an “artistic/beachy” design. Plans call for an artificial rock wall mimicking Sunset Cliffs’ stratified geology with 1,500 veterans’ names etched into it in a series of granite slabs. Adjacent to the new memorial wall would be inlaid stars representing lives lost in battle. Other artistic flourishes are to include low-lying artistic-themed meandering walls. Perrotti said fundraising on the memorial project is commencing now that construction drawings are nearly completed. He said the original 84 names from the old plaza will be transferred to the new one once it's done. Perrotti added there's a long way to go with fundraising. “Right now we're about $100,000

into this $1 million project,” he said noting KTUA architects, who did the original design, have handed that task over to Vicki Estrada of Estrada Land Planning. “Because of its (oceanfront) location, the Coastal Commission had input and they didn't like that the memorial could potentially block significant views toward the pier, so we had to bring the wall back from the beach, and from the street as well,” Estrada said noting the project's been “shrunk” from four walls down to three. “The whole key to this is making it look like the cliffs at Sunset Cliffs, otherwise it will look hokey and corny,” Estrada said. “We want to honor Sunset Cliffs in OB: That's a major concept.” Estrada said “different paving colors” are still planned from the vets plaza to the boardwalk. She added the project also includes rock outcroppings on the south side of the walkway that people will be able to sit on. Estrada noted project construction drawings are now “about 95 percent complete.” Once drawings are done, “OBCDC will put the project out to bid to a private contractor,” Estrada said.

Activists plan to spell out ‘Impeach’ in Ocean Beach to protest Trump

Taking the lead from a similar protest in Ocean Beach, San Francisco, a well-known Obecian activist has campaigned on Facebook to have people spell out “impeach” on the beach Saturday, March 4. It's a plea that's prompted the claimed participation of some 400 San Diego supporters. Last month, President Trump protesters in San Francisco used hundreds of people to spell out the word “resist.” Former James Gang member and longtime community activist Mike James, who co-founded Ocean Beach MainStreet Association, said he wanted to follow suit. “I contacted San Francisco's organizers to pick their brains and have them give me some ideas,” James said. “We decided to go ahead and replicate what they were doing.”

Conveniently, there was already a beach cleanup planned for OB on March 4 starting at 8 a.m. “Since a lot of people were already coming down to do the beach cleanup, we decided it would be a good time to create the word ‘impeach’ as a human sign,” James said. “Everybody's going to actually create the letters.” James said Dave Ish, of La Jolla, who has a text-messaging service, is pitching in to aid the protest.

To join in the texting component of the protest, Ish said participants should text the key word “obresist” and send it to the number 444999. James said organizers will then use that text message to “coordinate all the people getting them in the right direction, telling them where to stand, etc.” Once the human-sign “impeach” is formed, James said, “We hope to have a photographer there to record it and turn that out to the media with our mission statement.” He added a drone will also likely be utilized in recording the event, which is expected to take place about 10 a.m. Trump demonstrators will march up from Dog Beach spelling out impeach in hundred-foot human letters. Their end point will be just north of the Ocean Beach Pier, where the annual Christmas tree is positioned. “Welcome to the resistance,” states the OB Facebook protest page's mission statement. “The March 4 Impeachment is just one of thousands of events to promote the efforts to resist the Trump agenda. We resist his misogynistic, xenophobic and climate-denial policies, to name a few.” Of Trump opposition, James noted, “This is part of all the other resistance movements that are happening across the country. Our main goal is to have Congress actually do a real investigation of possible impeachable offenses that we feel the president might be involved in. “We don't want the Russian connection swept under the rug,” James continued. “We think it could be a real issue, a real impeachable offense, after the investigation is done. We want to see that investigation done.” James believes Trump is “Not fully divested from his business interests, and that he is not following the Constitution. We believe that by being president and going against the Constitution, that his companies are taking advantage of his presidency.”

The Breeders’ Cup will run at Del Mar racetrack in November.

For the first time, Breeders’ Cup to run at Del Mar racetrack The 34th running of the Breeders’ Cup will make history this fall as it debuts at the iconic Del Mar racetrack – “Where the Turf Meets the Surf ” – on Nov. 3 and 4. “We are thrilled to bring Breeders’ Cup to Del Mar for the first time this fall,” said Craig Fravel, Breeders’ Cup president and CEO. “Together with Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and the local Del Mar, Solana Beach, and San Diego communities, we have been working tirelessly to enhance every element of the fan experience and ensure that fans enjoy the best that the sport and the local area have to offer.” Breeders’ Cup and Del Mar racetrack are investing approximately $4.5 million to create more premium seating options and enhance the on-site experience for fans and participants. A total of 2,700 new, premium hospitality seating options will be added to Del Mar, including two temporary Trackside Luxury Chalets and temporary box seats. The temporary structures will be situated in a newly created “Chalet Village” at the west end of the Stretch Run and will accommodate 1,800 guests in two double decker structures, each with its own catering, wagering, and restroom services. Additionally, 900 box seats are being added to the Clubhouse and Stretch Run sides of the facility. Strategically situated around the Del Mar venue, the new seating areas will minimize congestion and further elevate the fan experience. Breeders’ Cup and Del Mar will cap the number of attendees at 37,500 per day. Single-day ticket prices range from $35 to $375 on Friday and $50 to $500 on Saturday.

The Point Loma High boys basketball team will not make a CIF championship appearance under first-year head coach Josh Aros, but they came close. The Pointers, seeded fourth of 16 Div. III teams, were the highest remaining seed after numbers one, two and three were all defeated in quarterfinal action. With a semifinal game win against No. 9 seed Mt. Miguel in a home game on Tuesday Feb. 28, the Pointers would have advanced to the Div. III title game against the winner of the game between No. 6 Montgomery and No. 10 Sage Creek. But despite being ahead for most of the game by as many as 13 points, the Pointers lost their game 64-57 to Mt. Miguel. The Div. III championship game will be played at the Jenny Craig Pavilion on the University of San Diego campus March 4 at 11 a.m. "Mt. Miguel's a good team," Aros said, "and they've beaten some very good teams." Most notable, the Matadors eliminated No. 1 seed Coronado 55-45, a team that gave the Pointers fits this year. The Islanders, who won the Central League with an 11-1 record

Against Bonita Vista in their first round game, the Pointers turned an extremely tight and hard-fought game into a 76-65 win by outscoring the Barons 32-23 in a frantic fourth quarter run. In that game, senior Darnell Johnson, junior Kyle Johnson and junior Carlos Amarrillaz each recorded a double-double on the score sheet. Darnell Johnson had 19 points and 11 rebounds, with Kyle Johnson (19, 15) and Amarrillaz (10, 10). Freshmen Yassine Gharram had 14 points while Dakarai Allen registered five steals. Then, in a quarterfinal match with Otay Ranch, the Pointers broke open another close game with a 214 fourth quarter run to pin a 62-47 loss on the Mustangs. The same trio again achieved a double double including Kyle Johnson (12, 16), Darnell Johnson (10, 10) and Amarrillaz (12, 12). Gharram led all scorers with 19 while Allen distributed seven assists and totaled four steals. "The kids are taking the coaching Point Loma's Darnell Johnson (5) slam dunks the basketball during the Pointers 76-65 CIF playoff win over Bonita Vista last week. The team is nearing a Div.

Point Loma defeats Cathedral, loses to St. Augustine in playoffs BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON

Last year, Point Loma High's boys soccer team won a CIF Div. II championship when they defeated San Marcos 3-1. Their reward? The Pointers were automatically moved up to Div. I, home of the 20 best soccer teams in San Diego and Imperial counties. The top eight of those 20 become the Open (highest) Division in playoffs, while the other 12 become Div. I. The result? The 2017 team, playing a difficult schedule, earned a place in this year's Open Division playoffs comprising the eight "best of the best" teams in the local CIF. "I think the boys' confidence was very high after last year," said Pointer head coach Elliott Savitz. "Our strength of schedule was very good and then we had a good first part of the season in which we went 7-1 against some good Div. I teams. The results from last year continuing to this year gave the boys a belief we could be consistent with top teams." Savitz led his team to an overall record of 10-6-4 (2-2-4 in Western League) before earning a No. 4 seed in his sport's toughest prep tournament in town. Their opening quarterfinal game was against rival Cathedral Catholic, whose lower No. 5 seed gave the Pointers the home game. The Dons and Pointers had met twice during

league play, with the Pointers scoring a 1-0 win in January and the teams battling to a 1-1 tie in midFebruary. Both games were played on the Dons' pitch. This time, the Pointers were ready. Behind a pair of goals from senior Adrian Marmol and single goals by seniors Oscar Borjon and Kian Meyer, the Pointers administered a 4-0 whipping in a statement game that eliminated the visitors from the playoffs. Meyer, who has committed to Cal State Dominguez Hills, also added two assists and another assist went to junior Timmy Mooring. With the victory, the Pointers moved on to the semifinal game against No. 1 seed St. Augustine (11-2-8 overall, 3-1-4 in Western League) on Tuesday, Feb. 28. After playing 95 minutes of scoreless soccer, the Pointers lost to St. Augus- Point Loma forward Kian Meyer (9) shields the ball from a Cathedral defender during his tine 3-1 in penalty kicks.

Emergency calls routed to SD Fire Dispatch may cause lifeguard delays Editor: On Dec. 15, the San Diego Lifeguard River Rescue team members were holding a deployment briefing prior to an imminent storm. Fifteen minutes before they were to deploy,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

they were given a new standard operating procedure imposed by the fire chief. The new SOP had several changes, one being that SD Fire Dispatch would now handle inland calls for water emergencies. Not all of the changes are without merit, but some changes create numerous problems. The Lifeguard supervisors group

was not consulted and there was no tabletop exercise to test for problems that may delay our response or cause confusion. The new SOP routes calls from police to a fire call taker, which takes 1-2 minutes or more. The call taker then sends it to a fire dispatcher queue where it waits in line, this can take several more minutes. Due to this change,

we are adding precious minutes to our response. The old procedure was simple; water calls were transferred from PD to Lifeguards. Lifeguards started units in 15 seconds, then requested Fire units if needed. This issue has been studied several times. Each time it was concluded that Lifeguards should continue dispatching water-related emergencies. A 2007 BPR study stated: There is a good argument for having trained lifeguards perform lifeguard dispatch functions over civilian dispatchers. Aquatic emergencies are very time critical and immediate rescue response is necessary. We often hear the term “best practices,” which means that this is how others do things. As a Marine and a 28-year Lifeguard in a para military organization, I can tell you that

Front page photo in Peninsula Beacon not fair and balanced Editor: If I wanted to see a front-page photo touting paid professional protestors’ non-spontaneously caterwauling against President Donald Trump’s lawful temporary hold on allowing anyone from the seven countries Barack Obama determined to harbor radical Islamic terrorists, as depicted on your Feb. 2 cover, I would have subscribed to the Donald Trump-hating San Diego UnionTribune or the Los Angeles Times. Or, if I wanted to read about how a teacher for a high school Cinematic Arts Program (anyone wanna bet what presidential candidate did not get a Cinematic Arts teacher’s vote?) assisted his angry students in using taxpayers’ funds to produce a video asking President Trump to apologize, as you reported in this

making changes to an emergency system that has been in place for over 35 years without discussion, training and proper testing Is not “best practice.” Since the change, there have been several delays to emergency calls. One call occurred Jan. 21 when a woman sustained traumatic injuries when she was washed off the rocks by large surf in La Jolla and Fire dispatchers did not transfer the call to Lifeguards for more than five minutes. It is important to note that Lifeguards were only four blocks from the scene of the incident. Teamsters 911 represents Lifeguards. They have filed a grievance that will soon be heard by the mayor.

COMMUNITY Former Cabrillo Hospital in Point Loma transformed for EF students 14

THURSDAY · MARCH 2, 2017

THE PENINSULA BEACON

Teaming with EF Education First, KTUA, a San Diego-based planning and landscape architecture firm, has transformed the parking lot of the formerly shuttered Cabrillo Hospital, now home to the newest EF International Language Center, into a gathering and green space for the many students who study there each year. Sitting vacant for several years, the old Cabrillo Hospital in Point Loma is now owned by EF, which has transformed the building into an international education mixeduse campus with classrooms, residences and community spaces. Brooke Whalen, a senior associate and landscape architect at KTUA, managed the project through completion. “We were really excited to work on this project from the very beginning,” Whalen said. “This was a great opportunity to participate in an urban-infill project that has enhanced the neighborhood. “Prior to the project, it was an underutilized facility that sat vacant for a very long time, but now it is bustling with students,” said Whalen. KTUA was involved at the conception of the project and attended

several community planning group meetings while preparing exhibits that assisted the client in gaining community support for the project. “EF was always very mindful of their neighbors,” Whalen said. “They did everything in their power to ensure that their project fits into the community and always kept them apprised of what they were

proposing to do with the site.” “On behalf of the entire EF team, we were pleased to work with KTUA to conceptualize and construct a landscaped environment that will continue to inspire our students’ learning for years to come,” said Meghan Conway, vice president, EF Properties. “We are thankful for the support of the KTUA team, as they

assisted us in completing this project on time and on budget.” Following the public outreach process, the team conducted interior renovations of the existing hospital building as well as some exterior site work to activate the street side of the property with new, landscaped green space and outdoor gathering and community areas.

The landscaped spaces feature sand volleyball courts, a speed soccer field with a shaded viewing area, a pool and pool deck, and upgraded planting, hardscape, and parking facilities. Because the students rely so much on public transportation, 100 bike parking spaces were incorporated into the site and a portion of the existing parking lot was transformed into usable outdoor landscape spaces. The site program really stemmed from thinking about what types of experiences students would expect to have coming from a different country to San Diego. “You cannot say San Diego without conjuring up images of sun, water, and sand which translates to a great pool and pool deck and sand volleyball courts,” Whalen said. A patio outside of the student center building includes a trellis, fire pit with cast-in-place benches, and outdoor concrete table tennis that allows for a great area for students to hang out and socialize. The indoor dining area on the first floor, with large roll-up doors, connects the indoor and outdoor space and encourages students to spill out into the landscape. The entry of the building was also enhanced to welcome students. KTUA has a large portfolio of campus work that includes UCSD’s Coastal Meander, Rita Atkinson Residences, and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Study; SDSU’s softball/tennis complex, Aquaplex, Tony Gwynn Stadium, student recreation field, and bike and skateboard master plan; Grossmont College’s conversion of lawn areas to native gardens; and USD’s Colachis Plaza, a work in progress. EF Education First is an international education company focusing on language learning, academics, and cultural exchange. Its mission is to open the world through education, and since 1965, the company has helped millions of people become citizens of the world. EF has 43,500 team members working from 500 schools and offices in more than 50 countries, and through partnerships it has a presence in 107 countries. For more than 10 years, the EF International Language Center’s San Diego school was located on Alliant University's campus. EF relocated and expanded its campus thanks to the City’s popularity with international students and the Cabrillo Hospital site’s location to downtown and the beaches.

HUGO’S CONTINUED FROM Page 1

Among its claims to fame, Ranchos was reputedly the first Mexican restaurant in San Diego to offer an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes and other healthy alternatives, along with more traditional fare. Late last year, however, Ranchos was forced to close due to the illness of its owner, Marcos Mouet. Clingaman, a well-known local businessman, is quick to point out that “Hugo’s is a new and different restaurant from Ranchos.” That being said, returning customers will likely experience a sense of familiarity once they cross the threshold of the new space. For example, in addition to Carrillo, many of Ranchos former employees, including its long-time chef, Aurellio Dominguez, have returned. And a glance at the menu, which, for the time being, is shorter than the one offered by Ranchos, reveals that Hugo’s Cocina is being governed by a similar philosophy. “Hugo’s will try to honor the influences that made Ranchos an institution,” says Clingaman. “We will continually be updating the menu while trying to keep it health-oriented and appealing to as many different diets as possible. The plan is to keep Hugo’s free-flowing and allowing it to evolve. We will be open to new ideas and keeping it fresh.” Clingaman has extensive experience in the restaurant business, and, in addition to his involvement with Hugo’s, is co-owner of the Thai Time Bistro, a Thai restaurant and bar located at the opposite end of the same restaurant strip mall as Hugo’s. He is also the owner of Ozzie’s Import Auto Repair, a block away. Clingaman was responsible for the highly successful makeover of the Thai Time Bistro a couple of years ago. Ironically, Clingaman was not looking for an investment opportunity when the Ranchos location became available. However, he couldn’t resist the challenge of opening another restaurant and the proximity of the storefront to his other businesses. He also empathized with the plight of Ranchos’ former employees, many of whom had remained in contact with Carrillo after they lost their jobs. Through Carrillo, Clingaman learned that Ranchos ex-employees wanted to return to work in Ocean Beach, were working only part-time, or were not enjoying their employment elsewhere. “I wanted to put people back to work,” Clingaman said. “From that point on, things kind of fell into place.” Clingaman is especially grateful to have Carrillo on board. “Most customers know Hugo,” Clingaman explained.

“Everyone loves him. He’s a beacon of positivity. He remembers everyone’s name and what they ate.” Like Clingaman, Cook brings a solid, 10-year resume in the restaurant business to his new venture. An affable 35-year-old given to easy laughter, Cook worked for Newport Pizza in Ocean Beach and Tiger Tiger, a popular restaurant and tavern in North Park. He is currently the general manager of the Belching Beaver Brewery on Newport Avenue and plans to continue working there for the foreseeable future. An alcohol license for Hugo’s is pending, but as soon as it is granted, Cook envisions offering a selection of critically acclaimed Mexican craft beers. They will be served in an expanded bar area that has yet to be constructed. For the past two months, all three partners, assisted by several former employees of Ranchos, worked feverishly to prepare for Hugo’s opening. Customers returning to the new restaurant will notice an aesthetically cleaner and brighter ambiance, including distinctive wood slat partitions designed and built by Cook. In six months to a year, when the dust settles and the identity of the restaurant is more firmly established, a more extensive remodeling will take place, according to Clingaman and Cook. That will likely include an extensive overhaul of the outdoor dining patio and the restrooms. “Things have been so frantic over the past few weeks, we haven’t even had time to plan for a grand opening,” Cook said as he juggled applying dark stain to a wood tabletop while answering a barrage of phone calls and text messages.

Only days before Hugo’s opened, Ed Murphy and Mercedes Farrell, who had been regular customers at Ranchos since 1994, were among the continuous stream of passersby seen daily anxiously peering through the front windows of the closed restaurant. They were thrilled to learn that a new restaurant would be opening there soon and that its philosophy and staff would be similar to its predecessor. “One of the worst weeks of my life was when Ranchos closed,” Murphy confessed. “The Cleveland Indians lost the World Series, Trump was elected president, and one of my favorite restaurants closed.” “Ed ate at Ranchos 13 times in one week,” Farrell chimed in, adding, “You could bring vegetarians and non-vegetarians there. Our out-of-town visitors loved it and always wanted to come back! We’re really excited about Hugo’s!” Similarly, a woman who wanted to be only identified as Victoria, confessed to being “Very, very, happy” to see a beehive of pre-opening activity in the space. Victoria said that she and her husband, Malcolm, had first moved to Sunset Cliffs in 1996 and had eaten at Ranchos every Saturday for 20 years. “My husband is a vegetarian, and I’m not, so it worked out perfectly! I loved everyone that worked there!” As for the soft-spoken and unassuming Carrillo, when asked what it felt like to have a large restaurant named after himself, he appeared to be taking it all in stride. “I’m glad, of course, but we have so much work ahead of us!”

BUSINESS Mobile barber shop surfs local beaches for custom cuts

THURSDAY · MARCH 2, 2017 THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY MANNY LOPEZ | THE BEACON

Being a surfing devotee helped Lawrence Mendez jump into the driver’s seat and launch his unique barbershop on wheels – Coastal Flow Barber Shop. Lured by a personal need to be by the beach, Mendez purchased a used Los Angeles Police Department SWAT truck and transformed it into a rolling salon, which he parks along the Pacific Ocean at some of the best surfing spots in San Diego. “I love being a barber, and I’m a surfer to the core,” Mendez said. “This business facilitates my lifestyle, and allows me to connect both of my passions.” From his decked-out, 24-foot-long panel truck, Mendez offers classic and modern haircuts such as business cuts, military style, skin fades, tapers, razor fades, fohawks, mohawks, scissor cuts and classic comb over’s. He also tailors beards and mustaches and does straight razor shaves with hot towels and foam. According to Mendez, his idea has turned out to be a success. Since opening up in October 2016, he said that he gets numerous customers a day in the form of regulars, tourists and others who walk in while enjoying the beach or visiting neighboring restaurants and bars. Born in Panama, Mendez has cut

hair in four countries and various cities throughout the United States. With 28 years of experience, he felt it was time to take his idea on the road and unleash his entrepreneurial spirit. “I first got the idea when I lived in an RV on the beach in Tijuana,” he said. “Many people would come to my house looking for a cut, and they would ask why I didn't cut hair on the beach in San Diego.”

Having tried different businesses involving surfing, such as a surf shop and surf school, Mendez said that they all got in the way of his personal time on the waves. Thinking that the mobile idea would be impossible to do because of the many regulations involved, Mendez nonetheless decided to give it a try, since after researching extensively, he could not find another barber shop offering services on the beach.

Stacey Steffe, president of the American Mobile Retail Association, a trade organization she co-founded in 2011 for mobile retailers, says that a truck is an attractive business model for a lot of people, especially small businesses, because of its low startup costs, flexible hours and ability to change locations. “We've been seeing all types of different mobile businesses opening up, services as well as retail,” Steffe said.

“Backed by the power of social media, mobile businesses can build a fan base and draw customers to their latest location.” Mendez said that he feels great about what he’s doing and the energy he receives from people. His biggest problem he added is finding enough places on the beach to cut hair. “I don't really feel like an innovator, or risk taker, because I hesitated a lot due to the fact that it’s something new,” Mendez said. “I just followed my passion and believed in my idea. Lucky for me my passions are surfing and cutting hair.” More information on Coastal Flow Barber Shop can be found on Facebook or by calling 619-647-0489.

USDA program not targeting jetty cat colony ‘They are not trapping near our colony and any cats trapped in other areas will be taken into animal control.’

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

Rumors that Mission Beach’s jetty cats may become part of the annual United States Department of Agriculture predator cull to protect endangered birds in Mission Bay has residents riled, leading to a petition drive initiated on Forcechange.com to protect the feral felines. But the outrage about the predator program removing members of the well-known cat colony may be misguided. In December 2016, the City of San Diego posted a notice about the federal predator management program noting its purpose is to “protect the endangered California least terns and their nests from predatory animals at nesting sites through Mission Bay.” The notice said actions against potential predators – skunks, raccoons and opossums including feral cats – may include monitoring, trapping, dispersal and shooting. That statement led to the rumors that the jetty cats could be targeted by the USDA program. But according to a statement on the Jetty Cats - San Diego Facebook page: "We have received a lot of messages and posts regarding the issue with the USDA. They are not trapping near our colony and any cats trapped in other areas will be taken into animal control. “We have been working with several other groups regarding the safety of our cats and we have found that this is already an active project that the USDA has been doing for 10 years now. “The sad news is any wildlife (predators to the protected birds) will be killed. The methods are not humane and this should not be tolerated in such a modern society. San Diego Humane Society is actively working to fight this.” The Jetty Cats - San Diego Facebook page is run by volunteers who control the jetty cats population by using the trap-neuter-return program. The dedicated volunteers also feed and look out for the health and safe-

ty of the jetty cats. The annual Mission Bay predator cull is conducted by USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Wildlife Services, which noted previously: “Our predator management activities are meant to boost the survival rate of these endangered birds and increase their population numbers.” “Our devices are adjusted to minimize non-target take, and if non-target animals are captured, they are released or taken to local shelters,” said a USDA spokesman. “We have captured five cats since 2014 while doing this type of work. All were unharmed and taken to local shelters. “Wildlife Services posts signs and issues warnings to alert pet owners when wildlife traps or other devices are being used in an area for wildlife damage management,” the spokesman said. “These devices are

only set at the request of and with permission from property owners or managers.” A nonprofit dedicated to animal welfare providing adoption and veterinarian services, San Diego Humane Society acknowleged it opposes the USDA's predator management program. “Suggesting we trap and kill one group of wildlife to save another is contrary to the mission of San Diego’s oldest nonprofit, and not the answer,” said San Diego Humane Society spokesperson Kelli Schry. “For 136 years, SDHS has forged common ground in our community for work-

ing together on humane and effective solutions for companion and wild animals. No one denies that the problems caused by outdoor cats are real. “We believe that trap-neuter-return programs, matched with effective public education campaigns to reduce the number of owned cats outdoors, will produce measurable results in the years ahead. Studies have shown that TNR is the most successful method we have of controlling healthy feral cat colonies. And it’s the most humane,” Schry said. Noting San Diegans “have the power and responsibility to speak up for the voiceless,” Schry added, “TNR and the other humane strategies for outdoor cats and wildlife represent a forward-thinking approach that is in tune with both ecological sensibility and the practical realities of protecting our animals and preserving our ecosystem.

animals so much as we need to work together to make sure our pets and wildlife are safe now and in the future.” Asked their views on the jetty cat issue by Beach & Bay Press on NextDoor.com, several Pacific Beach residents responded. “My point of view is based solely on my opposition to the notion of culling anything … cruel and avoidable,” said Sara Jouin-Nah of PB. “Killing any animal, especially a cat, is never a 'good idea,' ” said Art Morris of PB. “Now, for the previous owners of abandoned cats … don't get me started.” “These poor cats need a chance to go to a good home rather than ending their lives because of humans who don't care for them,” said Susan Srouse of Pacific Beach. “Please help these feral cats.” Addressed to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, a preamble to the Forcechange.com petition to save the jetty cats reads: “A proposed roundup in the Mission Bay area of San Diego could result in the barbaric killing of stray cats by nearly any means deemed appropriate, including the shooting of cats. “The intended proposal will involve the placement of traps throughout the Mission Bay area, and could threaten a well-maintained and beloved feral cat colony ... The laying out of traps to capture these semitame cats, only to have them euthanized or possibly shot offsite, is cruel and unnecessary.” The jetty cat petition in its entirety is at forcechange.com/164591/stopthe-brutal-killing-of-feral-cats.

ART & ENTERTAINMENT 19 All Souls’ Episcopal Church hosts ‘Icons in Transformation’ exhibit THURSDAY · MARCH 2, 2017

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY CYNTHIA ROBERTSON | THE BEACON

The strikingly beautiful sanctuary of All Souls’ Episcopal Church in Point Loma is being transformed into an international art show by acclaimed abstract expressionist Ludmila Pawlowska. On March 5, the “Icons in Transformation” traveling exhibition will opens its doors to the public. Father Joe Dirbas, rector of All Souls, is nothing less than honored to have the exhibition at the church. “This incredible exhibit of ‘Icons in Transformation’ provides a way for us to offer art to the San Diego community, but it is more than simply an exhibit,” Dirbas said. The works of Pawlowska are based upon techniques of traditional iconography. As such, the artwork encourages the viewer to look inward and transcend this temporal world as they seek connection with the eternal, explained Dirbas. Though icons are pieces of art, they are not referred to as painted but rather as written – that's where the "graph" part of iconography comes from. Dirbas explained that the icon writer, such as Pawloska, embarks on a spiritual journey of prayer during the writing of an icon. “The colors selected, the use of shadows, the concentration on the eyes, all of which you will find echoed in her works, contain meaning and are chosen with purpose. “In this way, these pieces, and the church as a backdrop, invite people to explore and develop their own spirituality as they come to discover who they are as children of God. This exhibit will be transformational for those who visit and add to the

OPENING RECEPTION When: The opening reception is March 5, from 5 to 8 p.m. Where: All Souls’ Episcopal Church is located at 1475 Catalina Blvd. Info: For a calendar of events associated with the exhibit, including an evening to meet and talk with the artist and an icon writing workshop, visit www.iconsSd.com.

spirituality and arts of the All Souls' Point Loma community,” Dirbas said. The one hundred pieces of original art by Pawlowska will adorn the halls and walls of the sanctuary. She has always been an artist, from her childhood in Russia, where artists and free thinkers were repressed. When she was a young woman, Pawlowska moved to Sweden with her husband 20 years ago where she could paint in peace. Her paintings were of landscapes, florals and scenes from nature.

But when her mother died nearly six years ago, something shifted within her. “Everything in my life changed. After the funeral, I went back to Russia. I questioned the meaning of life and talked to many priests in Russian monasteries. During that time, all these icons surrounded me. These classic original icons were created by monks centuries ago,” said Pawloska, whose own religious faith background is ecumenical, including Catholic and Lutheran. As Pawlowska contemplated her

conversations with the priests and spent time gazing at the holy images, she began to consider a contemporary approach to divine art. “These icons are like poetry without words,” she said. “I wanted to communicate something of that.” The centuries-old images proved to be a wellspring of fresh images for Pawlowska’s own work. “You will notice all the eyes in the original icons and in my work. It’s about God watching you, yes, but not the kind that we all think of today, with cameras all around. This

is a good thing. God loves you and watches you. He is listening to you. It is a two-sided conversation,” she said. Pawlowska insists that her work is not really about religion. “They are about developing your own spiritual life and appreciating its mystery,” she said. “The title of the exhibit, ‘Icons in Transformation,’ is provocative because you can’t change icons. However, the icons can change you. “Art never really answers questions. It raises more. It’s a journey of searching and seeing. I hope that all who visit the exhibit will receive this message,” she said. Pawlowska chose All Souls’ Episcopal Church for this two-month installation of her work for the church’s unusual architecture. “It has a very different circular structure. I am inspired by the shape of the sanctuary and the colors of the stained glass. I have created several new pieces just for this church,” she said. “This is a great cultural event for Point Loma and all of Southern California,” said All Souls’ vestry member Diane Sooy. “We are expecting thousands of people from all over to visit this exhibit.”

MADCAPS 57th annual benefit show 'On Broadway' March 9-11 Mothers and Daughters Club Assisting Philanthropies (MADCAPS) celebrates 57 years of community service with its annual benefit show Thursday, March 9 through Saturday, March 11, in Point Loma Nazarene University’s Brown Chapel Theater. The theme for this year is “On Broadway,” featuring Broadway hit shows such as “Grease,” “Chicago,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “School of Rock,” “Mama Mia,” “Wicked,” and “Newsies.” Tickets for this year’s show are on sale with prices ranging between $5 and $25. Tickets can be purchased at www.sdmadcaps.org. "MADCAPS is thrilled to present this year’s theme ‘On Broadway,’ said Judy Parker, 2017 benefit communications chair. “We’re performing a variety of Broadway hit shows in a sensational, show-stopping format, as well as highlighting our real ‘stars,’ the philanthropies that we work with.” In addition, the group is supporting San Diego First Church of the

Nazarene’s “Homeless Kits” project, by collecting various personal care items. Patrons are asked to bring items like new tube socks, small shampoos, soaps and lip balms, which will be distributed to those in need. All of this would not be possible without the support of sponsors

from the community. “We sincerely thank The Irving Group, Ullman Sails, Bass Family, Ocean Dental, San Diego Funding/Pacific Sotheby’s, and Smith Family,” Parker said. This annual musical extravaganza has become MADCAPS signature

fundraising event to provide financial support to dozens of local charities. The underwriting of major production costs, proceeds from ticket and advertising sales, and the donated time and expertise of the girls, their families and friends make it possible to give to these community

organizations. “Please support us and/or donate to MADCAPS at sdmadcaps.org,” Parker said. “We are very excited to return to the campus of Point Loma Nazarene University and the additional capacity and comfort of the theater at Brown Chapel.”

MUSIC Point Loma singer-songwriter Briahhna brings passion to performances 20

THURSDAY · MARCH 2, 2017

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON

While many other musical communities are reporting their music communities are in decline, San Diego seems to be escaping that drought, with a wealth of new musicians emerging seemingly daily, both local talents and performers drawn by our thriving scene. One such artist currently making a splash is singer-songwriter Briahnna Schillings, known professionally as just “Briahhna,” who next performs at the Casbah on March 26, in advance of dates in the Bay Area. Now a resident of the Point Loma area, Schillings grew up in Medford, Ore., heading south in the summer of 2005 to pursue her dreams of a career in acting or music. “I believe that music chose me first,” she said. “From the age of 7, I fell madly in love with every instrument that I touched. Playing by ear, creating and mimicking songs, melodies would pour through me. I used music as my form of expres-

sion when words failed. Music gave me a voice and I am forever grateful and inspired for that.” Within a year of her discovery of a love for music, she began to work as an actress. “The stage is my second home,” she said. “I began at the age of 8 performing and touring with ‘The Nutcracker’ in our local ballet company. I fell in love with theater, gaining my first role in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ as Alice's shadow. From the age of 12 to 16, I was performing two to three performances throughout the year,” Schillings recalled. “I continued to take part in theatrical performances around town while performing in the theater program at my school.

From the beach to Balanchine: Latest performance a milestone for City Ballet BY LUCIA VITI | THE BEACON

BALANCHINE AND BEYOND When: 8 p.m. March 10 and 11, 2 p.m. March 12. Where: Spreckels Theatre, 121 Broadway. Info and tickets: www.cityballet.org.

The San Diego City Ballet is one of but a few companies to receive permission from The George Balanchine Trust to perform his ballets.

‘Balanchine and Beyond’ is a milestone for our company and a major dance event for the city of San Diego.” Noted by critics for “polished, eyecatching, delightful, and highly-entertaining” productions, the company has hosted 19 George Balanchine ballets. Steven Wistrich was coached by George Balanchine – the founding artistic director of the New York City Ballet – early in his career. The San

Diego City Ballet is one of but a few companies to receive permission from The George Balanchine Trust to perform his ballets. “The Balanchine Trust grants permission only to ballet companies they judge as artistically competent to perform Balanchine’s masterworks,” said Steve Wistrich. “George Balanchine, a true genius, is considered one of the greatest choreographers of the 20th

The City Ballet of San Diego, accompanied by the City Ballet Orchestra, will perform “Balanchine and Beyond” at Spreckels Theatre on March 10-12. Artistic directors Steven and Elizabeth Wistrich offer San Diego a milestone – yet again – with performances formerly enjoyed only in major cities. Choreographed by industry legends, “Balanchine and Beyond” will present George Balanchine’s “La Source” and “Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux,” Jerome Robbins’ “Afternoon of a Faun” and Peter Martins’ “Hallelujah Junction.” The City Ballet of San Diego is in residence at the City of Ballet School located in Pacific Beach. Celebrating 24 years under the direction of the Wistrich husband-and-wife team – former Boston Ballet and Stuttgart Ballet dancers – the world-class professional ballet company is a nonprofit organization committed to “furthering the ballet art form.” Steven Wistrich described his dancers as professionals from the U.S., Japan, Canada, Mexico, and Russia, who spend 26 weeks of the year in San Diego dancing for a living. “We’ve built an amazing repertoire of iconic ballets performed by dancers from all over the world based on our vision to create a world-class ballet company for the city of San Diego,” he explained. “We’re proud of our work.

century. We’re honored to be one of the select companies in the world allowed to dance these ballets.” “Balanchine and Beyond” will also debut ballets by Jerome Robbins and Peter Martins. Robbins directed and choreographed the Academy Awardwinning film “West Side Story” and its Broadway counterpart. He served as the co-director of the New York City Ballet with Balanchine until the

time of his death. Wistrich described the Spreckels Theater as a “world-class historic theater and a wonderful venue” for a dance/ballet company. Former New York City Ballet principal dancers Eve Lawson staged “La Source,” and “Tchaikovsky Pas De Deux,” Rebecca Hirsch staged “Afternoon of a Faun” and Nilas Martins – the son of New York City Ballet artistic director Peter Martins – staged “Hallelujah Junction.” The George Balanchine Trust, the Jerome Robbins’ Trust and the New York City Ballet granted permission to the City Ballet of San Diego to perform these ballets. John Nettles will conduct the City of Ballet Orchestra for each program respectively: “La Source,” choreographed in 1965, with music by Leo Delibes, and “Tchaikovsky’s Pas de Deux,” choreographed in 1960, with music by Peter Tchaikovsky; Jerome Robbins’ “Afternoon of a Faun,” choreographed in 1953, with music by Claude Debussy; and Peter Martins’ “Hallelujah Junction,” choreographed in 2001, with music by John Adams.
