City hikes fees, may curtail police duties Mayor takes case to OB constituents BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON

The City Council approved about $4 million in fee increases this week to help close an estimated $60 million budget shortfall the city faces in the coming year. District 2 Councilmember Kevin Faulconer joined colleagues April 20 in eliminating $1,000 in city service discounts for nonprofit groups that host special events like the Ocean Beach holiday parade. At the same time, the City Council raised the cost private companies pay for extra police officers during those special events, hiking the cost from $75 to $96 per hour. The decision to raise specialevent staff fees saves the city an estimated $500,000, according to city officials. The council approved a slate of fee increases running the gamut of city services, including a $50 increase in business fees, a small increase in dump fees, late fees for library books and an added $1.06 to pay for parking tickets online, according to city documents. Most of the fee increases will become effective July 1. The council also approved a $5 fee increase to maintain a newspaper rack per year effective in January.

Creek to Bay event poised for another clean sweep BY JOSEPH GREENBERG | THE BEACON

Everyone knows cigarettes are bad for your health. But people seem less aware or less remorseful about scarring the environment with their left-over, tarstained filters. Those tiny butts add up and get swept along with other debris into streams and watersheds and eventually make their way to the ocean. “The cigarette butts continue to be an extremely pervasive litter problem, and people do not know how big an impact they can have,” said I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) outreach director Morgan Justice-Black.

She also hopes that the message of loving a clean San Diego will spread through the volunteers and community members alike to cause a snowball effect in fighting pollution. “To me pollution knows no boundaries, which is why we cover such a huge area. We have cleanup sites from Oceanside to San Ysidro, from Mission Beach and as far east as El Cajon,” Justice-Black said. There are approximately 60

cleanup sites throughout those regions, and the event this year is poised to crack the 1 million pound mark of debris picked up and properly disposed. The widespread volunteering event could not come at a more poignant time in the current economic atmosphere of fund siphoning and budget cuts. “You read in the paper every day how infrastructure is being cut, the amount of [garbage] cans at the beach are being reduced along with funding for cleaning and maintenance,” Justice-Black said. “It is important that volunteers take matters into their own SEE CLEANUP, Page 8

Planners OK complex, slate community airport discussion BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON

Developers plan to build a combination multi-family residential complex and retail space at 3903 Voltaire St. next year. The proposed two-story, 24-unit development would replace existing commercial buildings to bring a “pedestrian-oriented” design to the corridor, according to project architect Stosh Podeswick. The complex would feature retail on the first floor with 1- to 3bedroom units on top. The project would include two “affordable” units for lower-income families, Podeswick said. “It’s going to bring some muchneeded retail along the redevelopment corridor, along with the rental units to support the retail,” he said, “We’re hoping to start [building] in 2010.” Podeswick presented the project to the Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) on April 16. The board voted in favor of the project. Discussion from the community

arose concerning noise exposure, increased population density and parking safety concerns for pedestrians and bicyclists. In other PCPB news: • Planners are proposing a “pros and cons” community forum about long-term plans for the San Diego International Airport at Lindbergh Field. The board approved a tentative forum date for Wednesday, June 3 at the Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. A panel made up of city officials, airport experts and political groups have been invited to meet and present arguments in favor of and against the plan for the “Ultimate Build Out” of Lindbergh Field, according to PCPB Airport Committee chair Suhail Khalil. The Airport Authority’s plan unfolds in three phases over the next 20 years at a cost of about $4 billion (without accounting for inflation), according to a financial SEE PCPB, Page 3

2009 garden walk poised to spotlight scenic homes BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON

With temperatures heating up, spring is in full bloom. The Dana Unit auxiliary of Rady Children’s Hospital is promoting spring fever with its eighth annual Point Loma Garden Walk on Saturday, April 25. Proceeds from the event benefit Rady’s craniofacial services. “It goes to a worthy cause – Rady Children’s Hospital is the area’s only hospital dedicated solely to pediatric care,” said event co-chair Pam Caldwell. “It is also a beautiful way to spend a day with friends.” This year’s garden walk features 15 garden tours, four of which are linked to the bonus of scenic home tours. It also features a new location. “For the first time we are over in the Sunset Cliffs area,” said Caldwell. “There are many homes with ocean views.” The walk will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and spotlight an array of different gardens. Caldwell said there is a little something for everyone on the walk, including homes with outdoor kitchens and low-water usage gardens. “We have a variety of gardens,” Caldwell said. “We have some that are unique because they’re small and some that are park-like settings.” Some of the gardens will have a little something extra. Artists from the San Diego Watercolor Society will be painting at some of the stops along the walk. Caldwell said she expects about 800 people to attend the garden walk, based on past attendance. “Craniofacial services at Rady Children’s Hospital diagnose and treat patients with complex disorders of the face and skull,” Caldwell said. Although no fundraising goals have been set for this year’s walk, past walks have raised a combined $106,000. This money has helped craniofacial services in a number of ways.

“Proceeds from the garden walk will assist in the medical management of craniofacial patients who often require multiple interventions and team visits,” Caldwell said. “In the past, (the walks have) also funded specialized plastic surgery and microsurgical instruments.” The garden walk also features a boutique open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At the boutique, people can purchase plants, talk shop with a master gardener or even grab a snack at a bake sale. “This has been a very popular addition to the garden walk,” Caldwell said. At the boutique, the Point Loma Garden Club will be holding its annual plant sale. This is the second year the club has held the plant sale in conjunction with the walk. “We are going to have annuals, perennials, vegetables and gardenrelated works of art, including succulent wreaths and tree boxes,” said Point Loma Garden Club president Julie Hasl. As part of the garden club’s plant sale, Tillie Lewis — the so-called “Tomato Queen” who owns the second-largest tomato packing company in the world — will be selling her heirloom tomato plants. Caldwell said these plants aren’t sold in nurseries. Presale tickets for the walk are $20 and can be purchased before Saturday at Walter Anderson Nursery in Point Loma, Mission Hills Nursery on Fort Stockton Drive in Mission Hills or Armstong Garden Center on West Morena Boulevard in Linda Vista. Tickets on the day of the event are $25 and will be sold at the boutique at 1007 Cordova St. That location is also the start of the walk, where maps will be handed out starting at 10 a.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (619) 518-8663, or visit www.pointlomagardenwalk.com.

report released by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. “The community wants to know how that plan is feasible and viable to the community and region,” Khalil said. Key components of the plan ultimately include a total of 60 aircraft gates, additional taxiway improvements and an Intermodal Transit Center (ITC) among many other additions. The proposed ITC expansion to the north side of Lindbergh Field is expected to make for easier access to Interstate 5 and may ease potential connection to high-speed rail,

according to airport plans. The proposed meeting would present a “balanced panel” to debate the plans that may affect Peninsula residents positively and negatively, Khalil said. Panelists must confirm their participation before the forum is “set in stone,” he said. Peninsula residents deal daily with airplane noise and increasing traffic along Rosecrans Street and North Harbor Drive because of the airport.

NewsBriefs Cause of death pending for discovered body The county Medical Examiner’s Office continues to investigate the death of a 43-year-old man whose body was discovered on freeway property behind a business on Hancock Street in the Midway area on April 19. Medical examiner officials have ruled out murder, but toxicology tests may provide further clues as to the cause of death of the unnamed man, according to Lt. Terry McManus of the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit. The identity of the man has not been released pending notification of family members, McManus said. An autopsy was performed on April 20. The case came to light when police were notified around 7:30 p.m. that a body had been discovered behind a business at 2200 block of Hancock St. According to McManus, the victim had no visible signs of trauma, but the scene and condition of the body were initially considered suspicious. Patrol officers summoned the aid of the Medical Examiner’s Office and detectives from the homicide unit.

Correia students admit fabricating assault story Three Correia Middle School students in Loma Portal lied to both police and school administrators recently, fabricating a story about a man assaulting them, according to officials. The trio made up the story as a cover for leaving school grounds

without permission, according to documentation sent to the school’s parents in late March. The girls falsely claimed a 6-foottall black male assaulted them and tried to kidnap them as they walked to the school along Valeta Street, according to a letter e-mailed to parents by Correia Principal Patricia Ladd. The letter, dated Tuesday, April 14, states the incident did not occur. San Diego Police Department spokeswoman Mònica Muñoz said parents should remind their children that knowingly filing a false police report is illegal. “It’s important for anybody to understand that if you’re the victim of a crime, we need to hear about it,” Muñoz said. “But you have to be completely honest. The big deal here is that we dedicated resources to look for somebody that didn’t exist.” Muñoz said that was time police could have spent helping actual victims. Police are not taking steps to file criminal charges against the students, though the three girls were suspended, Ladd said. Still, Ladd said school officials, the police and the community had to treat the story as true until proven otherwise. “In one way, you’re relieved that it did not occur,” Ladd said. “And another way you’re concerned with the moral implications … of making a story up. This is an opportunity for lessons to be learned on many different levels.”

maybe we can use volunteers … to keep costs down.” Private security or volunteers could support police and public safety during special events, said Carolyn Wormser, director of special events for the city. Police department officials decide on a case-by-case basis how many officers may staff an event, she said. Sanders said other fee increases allow the city to recover costs of administering various programs. User fee increases to Park and Recreation Department programs, including youth sports, result in about $1.1 million in annual revenue, according to city documents. In addition, Sanders proposes tapping library improvement funds to close some of the budget gap. This puts some library improvement projects on hold until funding becomes available, he said. The Ocean Beach library has been slated for improvements since 2005. The library improvement fund contains about $4.5 million, Sanders said. “[The budget proposal] takes about $3.8 million of that, so we hope to replace it,” he said. Transient occupancy taxes (TOT) on hotel rooms would help fill library improvement fund coffers. Less consumer spending because of the national and local

recession means less TOT revenue to the general fund, however, according to city officials. Faulconer said holding off on capital and library improvements during tough economic times will keep recreation centers and libraries open. Sanders’ budget also keeps about 150 city positions vacant without the need for additional layoffs. Sanders also presented possible long-term budget solutions to close an estimated $1.3 billion in unfunded retiree healthcare costs that are to be paid over about 20 years. He said negotiations with unions over the next two years should help restructure the health benefits program. “What we’ve talked about is a defined contribution system,” Sanders said. “[Employees would] put into a 401(k) account and [the city would] put into a 401(k) account,” Sanders told audience members. He added that employees nearing retirement not be required to pay into a new program because they may not be able to afford it. Betty Peabody, a Point Loma resident, attended Sanders’ budget presentation in Ocean Beach on Monday. She said Sanders’ has brought the city a long way from just a few years ago. “I think he’s doing the best job we can ask,” Peabody said.

EDITORIAL

Jury duty’s tough, but somebody’s gotta do it By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN So death and taxes are life’s only certainties, eh? Yeah, right. I’d heard that so many times that I was almost – almost — persuaded it’s true. But recently, San Diego Superior Court gutted my take on that folkloric theory, in the form of an innocuous-looking summons delivered to my house uneventfully with some other innocuous-looking mail. Jury duty. The cantankerous fly in the workaday ointment, coming and going as it everlovin’ pleases, without the stingiest regard for the circumstances of the folks on whom it lands. If you’ve ever paid in to Social Security in any form, chances are you’ll be tapped at some point, probably when you least expect it. Sheesh. At least the Reaper has the grace to announce himself (or sometimes, anyway). And with taxes, the infernal April 15 due date is etched in stone as well as in the public consciousness. That summons was my ticket into the human race – a race I initially figured I’d rather sit out. I’d soon learn that that “stingiest regard” thing was a product of my own ignorance. The local selection process isn’t as arbitrary as all that. To sit on a jury, you do have to be 18 or older and a resident of San Diego County and conversant in written and oral English. And the summons does reflect that the Court makes concessions if your service will cause an economic hardship or some other major lapse in your quality of life; the powers that be can also arrange for you to serve in locations more convenient than those on West Broadway Downtown. And to boot, once you’ve done your duty, you won’t be called for at least a year. But whatever the Court may be, it’s not omniscient by any stretch. Accordingly, my stated reasons for requesting deferral fell on blind eyes after I mailed my summons back in. At 7:45 a.m. one day early last month, I found myself in a cavernous lounge in the Hall of Justice Downtown with about 250 other hardy souls, each of whom may also have had pressing business the Court would kindly preclude. After a brief introductory film and a formal welcome from longtime Superior Court

Judge David Gill, you’re left with all the time in the world as the courtrooms determine the size of the day’s juror pools. I opted to reread a book on Robert Louis Stevenson, my patron saint (that’s to say favorite author), and his brush with civil unrest during his days as a late 19th-century resident of Western Samoa. New French-built roads in the region, he observed, overran sacred burial spots. European clerics were “educating” the natives in the “correct” ways of worship and obliterating a culture in the process. Young boys were taken from their homes as those same holymen forced their indoctrination. “Soul murder,” Stevenson called it, adding that he found it tantamount to a military incursion. A military incursion indeed, its planners oblivious to the concept of due process and fair representation. The kind of representation the Court was making its best effort to effect that morning. And just as Stevenson bristled at the inequities in the South Seas, he’d have delighted in the democratic conduct that undermines them. An hour passes, then another. A disembodied voice cranks out the day’s first litany of names over a state-of-the-art loudspeaker; a 100-minute lunch break follows. Two more rosters are called by quarter to 3, at which time the stragglers – including me – are dismissed, free and clear for at least 12 months. I grab my book and beat feet to my car, proceeding to salvage the rest of the workday. But only then do I realize I’m in a profession with a job description not unlike that of an impaneled juror. Try as I might, I can’t reason away my initial disdain for jury duty while pretending to uphold journalism’s noblest tenets. Stevenson had a law degree and wrote plenty of newspaper pieces in his day; it’s a cinch he felt exactly the same way. And what’s good enough for him should certainly be good enough for me. Man, I wish I’d been called. Just wait’ll next year. — Martin Jones Westlin is editor of Downtown News, a sister publication of the Peninsula Beacon.

City pay cuts should be taken by all, not a few As I understand it the city employee unions have agreed to a pay cut for city employees. I am wondering why the mayor and the City Council don't also take a pay cut. I know Mayor Jerry Sanders is sending his daughter to college, but so are a lot of other people. The city is not solvent, as I understand it. It would appear that a cut in the mayor’s and City Council's salaries would help the city’s debt problem almost as much as the city employees’ cut.

PETS Canine hero lauded for ‘dogged determination’ BY KEVIN MCKAY | THE BEACON

For many in the La Playa neighborhood of Point Loma, it was a moment to paws and reflect. Cabrillo, a Portuguese water dog, was showered April 21 with praise and adoration for his role in saving property and, quite possibly, human life. Cabrillo became the first canine to be recognized by the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department for his relentless effort to alert his sleeping owner, Sandra Angel, to a raging house fire just doors away. Around 3 a.m. on April 2, the persistent pooch began scratching at Angel’s mattress, tugging at her sleeve and going from window to window of the Rosecrans Street home to rouse his sleeping master. “That’s when I smelled smoke,” said Angel. “I got out of bed and saw a smoky haze and the orange glow of a fire from the house a few doors away.” Set in motion by Cabrillo’s alarms, Angel called 911 while her boyfriend, Charles Williams, began waking neighbors and urging them from their homes. Concerned for the safety of several elderly neighbors, Angel also began phoning other residents to alert them to the fiery danger. “It’s scary when it happens in the middle of the night,” Angel said, “but you get focused pretty fast when you realize you might have just minutes to save a few precious belongings and get to safety.” Officials credit Cabrillo’s alertness and unrelenting effort to wake Angel and Williams for triggering a rapid response by fire crews and other emergency response personnel. Three engines, including one from Station 22 in Point Loma, arrived at the burning home minutes later to contain the flames before they could spread further within the home or to neighboring residences, said Maurice Luque, spokesman for the San Diego FireRescue Department. The fire, which was sparked in an attic because of cracks in the home’s fireplace mortar, caused an estimated $250,000 damage to the structure and contents, said Luque. No injuries were reported. The damage and potential for loss of life was minimized because of Cabrillo’s alertness, said Luque. As a result, fire-rescue officials recognized Cabrillo for his “dogged determination” Tuesday with the first “Honorary Fire Dog” award — complete with a lifesaving commendation and a box of doggie treats. “It’s pretty cool that a dog played this kind of a role in preventing what could have been a much more tragic outcome,” said Luque. “This is a rather unique situation and we wanted to recognize both Cabrillo and the owners for their efforts,” he said. “This is the first time in the six years I have been doing this that someone has told me about a dog being so instrumental in helping to save property and prevent, heaven forbid, human tragedy.” Angel said Portuguese water

dogs have a lengthy distinction as a working-class breed. “These dogs are bred to do a job,” Angel said. “That evening, Cabrillo’s job was to wake me and wake Charles and alert us to the danger just outside our window.” Angel, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker in Point Loma, said Cabrillo will turn 2 on June 14. She has had the chocolate-and-cream-col-

ored pooch since he was just 8 1/2 weeks old. Since the night of the fire, people stop her on the street and ask to have their picture taken with Cabrillo, she said, and ask to pet him. Angel said she is considering taking Cabrillo on a possible public relations tour of local schools as an ambassador of heroism.

Cabrillo, a 58-pound Portuguese water dog, is credited with “dogged determination” in waking owner Sandra Angel (seen in reflection at lower right) and alerting her and Charles Williams to a house fire just doors away during the early morning hours of April 2. Pawing, tugging and running from window to window, Cabrillo roused the sleeping humans, who rousted neighbors and summoned help from fire crews.

Fleas are here! What can you do? Typically, fleas do not live on your pet. They generally jump on you or your pet for a meal, and then they jump off. This means that if you see a few fleas on your pet, there are many more in the environment. The occasional flea bath and topical flea product are not enough. It is vital to treat the yard and house in addition to your pet. To start, steam clean all carpets and then vacuum thoroughly weekly. Pay special attention to shadowy areas such as corners, under furniture and closets. If this is not enough, there are some efficient, non-toxic products for use the yard and home. Fleabusters is one that works very well in the house. Diatomaceous earth is another product great for outdoors. Both are non-chemical and fleas are unable to build a resistance to them.

If a pink Cadillac is found it will go straight to me,” Justice-Black laughed. Maruta Gardner, the captain of the cleanup site at Santa Clara Point in Mission Beach, said that the oddest form of litter at her site is consistently women’s undergarments. Gardner hopes 80 to 90 volunteers will show up to help this year. “We are going to fill as many bags of trash and recyclable materials as we can,” Gardner

said. “And to keep track of how much we are picking up, we will weigh all of it with the scale from my own bathroom.” Gardner retired last November from a career in school administration that lasted 38 years. From 1990 to 1995 Gardner served as principal of Mission Bay High School. Gardner is active with the Mission Bay Women’s Club that adopted Santa Clara Point to take on the responsibility of keeping the beautiful location litter free. The club feels an affinity for keeping the site clean and safe, Gardner said. All cleaning tools for volunteers will be provided at each of the sites.

Talking to an Elder with Dementia If you know someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, you know how difficult it can be to communicate with them. Dementia affects the brain, but the person still has their humanness, and still has a mind, an ego and feelings that should be respected. It seems cruel to force a person with dementia to accept aspects of reality that they cannot comprehend. The main coping skills you’ll need to improve communication with your loved one are redirection and validation. People with dementia sometimes display behaviors that seem out of character or are far too emotional for a specific situation. Redirection diverts their attention away from the stressful even to something more pleasant. This

technique and its usefulness depend on what seems sensible in the situation. Be creative and experiment to see what works and what doesn’t with your loved one. Validation therapy tries to understand why your loved one is behaving a certain way and then you address the trigger or underlying concern. Allowing the dementia patient some measure of control will aid in self-worth and will reduce the occurrence of negative behaviors. The RN Case Managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants are experienced in dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia issues and would be happy to discuss your areas of concern.

Primarily it’s earmarked for children. It does stay in La Jolla through schools and we donate it to the Riford Center,” Bonner said. Runners start in Del Mar and then make their way south through Torrey Pines State Park, racing up a long hill and then down a winding La Jolla Shores segment to end at La Jolla Cove. “It starts at the Del Mar Race Track.

The race begins at 7:10 a.m. After the race, La Jolla Kiwanis Club will host its annual beer garden, followed by the awarding of prizes and medals at 10 a.m. This year, the organization
