The end may be near for the Ocean Beach Pier.

At least, that’s what a recently released report commissioned by the City on the beach community’s iconic pier suggests about the 55-year-old promenade that’s become increasingly prone to structural damage – and closure – due

to seasonal winter storms.

Excerpts from the report done

by Moffatt & Nichol conclude that: “The Ocean Beach Fishing Pier has reached the end of its service life. The pier was inspected above and below water and concrete cores were taken for analysis. Corrosion in the reinforcing steel has initiated and the structure will continue to degrade unless corrective action is taken.

Ocean Beach Street Fair and July 4th fireworks canceled New ‘Celebrate the OB Vibe’ event will take place in June

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Uncertainty over COVID crowd restrictions has caused the cancellation once again this year of two live cornerstone community events: Ocean Beach Street Fair & Chili Cookoff in June and OB Fourth of July fireworks.

But a more community-centric event titled “Celebrate the OB Vibe” promoting the momand-pop business district will be substituted for the Street Fair on Saturday, June 26 from 10 a.m.6 p.m.

“We don’t have any clear direction from the City on the Street Fair in terms of crowd size,” said Denny Knox, executive director of Ocean Beach MainStreet Association, the business improvement district that holds both traditional events. “What we do know is they would have required counting people in and out, and that’s unworkable for such a large event.”

“If we hadn’t been shooting them off the pier, we might have thought about it,” added Knox of holding annual Fourth of July pyrotechnics. “But we don’t even know if the pier (closed for repairs) is even going to be open then. That’s a big if right there.

And the virus could surge again and we could be closed down.”

Added Knox: “Holding fireworks this year was really gambling with the $30,000 cost. We just couldn’t see ourselves being fiscally responsible in doing that when there are so many small businesses struggling, to spend that kind of money on fireworks.

Sure, we’d love to do it. But we really don’t have the money to take that kind of chance. It just seems like it wasn’t right to do it.”

The decision to cancel both live events was a unanimous vote of the 14-member OBMA board, noted Knox.

Of the event replacing the Street Fair, Knox commented: “It’s not what we wanted, but it’s something. It’s a tricky situation for us to be in. [OBMA] lost a fair amount of money last year.

We really can’t do that again because we have a lot of needs in the community.”

Needs the community can’t do without include preserving community murals and keeping banners and advertising up while promoting OBMA’s website.

Knox said the Vibe replacement event will be fun and representative of OB, just pared

down considerably from the Street Fair. “The streets won’t be closed and there’s not going to be a beer garden,” she pointed out.

“We’ll have artisans and craft areas with booths in the pier parking lot and in the grassy area at Veterans Plaza. We’ll have a children’s and families area in Saratoga Park.

“We’ll take over the community’s parking lots to do some art-centered projects and dance.

We’re going to go door-to-door with all our merchants and tell them to decorate and just celebrate on June 26.”

OB Vibe will be all about “bringing business to small OB businesses,” said Knox noting the back-to-basics event will be a much-needed shot in the arm to OB merchants after the trials and tribulations of the past year.

A fun run is also being planned now as part of OB Vibe that will include giveaways of T-shirts and medallions, as well as photo ops at the foot of Newport Avenue for participants.

“We’re just doing what we can within the parameters we’ve been given,” assured Knox.

“We’ll have an opportunity for merchants to bring some product out and put their best foot forward. We think it can be really fun, and not be as big a

footprint on the community.

“Visit your local businesses and support them on the 26th,” Knox said. “We have great plans for 2022 to bring the Street Fair roaring back, including the chili cook-off, which has already generated a lot of interest.”

There might be one positive note about the fair and fireworks cancellations this year. “Maybe, every once in a while, if you can’t do something you love, it really makes you realize how much you appreciate it,” Knox said.

Fireworks are launched off the Ocean Beach Pier at a previous Fourth of July fireworks show. COURTESY PHOTO BY JOE EWING

THE PENINSULA BEACON

The Ocean Beach Pier disappears into early morning fog. THOMAS MELVILLE/PENINSULA BEACON

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Quintessentially OB, the community’s 55-year-old pier has always served as a magnet drawing a diverse crowd of locals, staycationers, and visitors alike together in a spirit of peace and collegiality.

Whether they like to fish, sightsee or just hang out, the local landmark – the longest concrete pier in the world and second-longest pier on the West Coast – remains a beach community hub and signature symbol.

Now that the pier, presently closed for repairs, is showing its age from the ravages of recurrent structural damage during winter storms and king tides, a recently released report has shed doubt on its future structural viability.

The Peninsula Beacon asked community leaders to size up the situation, offering their views on whether OB Pier should be

repaired, rehabilitated, or replaced.

That was the conclusion drawn by the 364-page report on the pier's deteriorating condition done by the advisory firm of Moffatt & Nichol.

Here’s what civic leaders had to say: “I’m honestly hoping we can put a working group together of representatives from OB and the Peninsula to work with the City and keep pushing [pier repairs] forward,” said Denny Knox, executive director of Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. “I think it’s salvageable, though what the best path is to do that I don’t think has been totally determined yet.

We’ve got a lot to pour over.”

Knox has contacted the son of the pier’s builder to solicit his perspective on what could, and should, be done to restore it.

Robert Jackson, a Point Loma Realtor and past president of the Point Loma Association grew up

with the pier.

“The pier came before I was born, but my mom enjoyed pushing my stroller down the 1,971-foot pier weekly,” he said recalling, “We would look for a family friend surfing down below.”

Of the pier’s current status, Jackson said: “I know the mayor’s office seems committed to vetting the pier and condition. It has been beaten up over the years with weather and high-surf activity.

Can it be fixed or a total rebuild?

I understand that’s a big question now and a lot of speculation.

“I’m confident that whatever the City can’t do, the community will,” continued Jackson. “It’s too important of an icon to let go. Between private foundations and community involvement, we will continue to have the best pier in 92107.”

“My personal opinion is that the OB Pier is a San Diego landmark, and it is one of the landmarks that make San Diego special,” said Fred Kosmo, current chair of Point Loma Community Planning Board. “I have walked the pier hundreds of times. It’s fun and inspirational. I strongly believe the OB Pier should be repaired so that both San Diego residents and visitors can enjoy the pier for many years.”

Andrea Schlageter, Ocean Beach Planning Board chair, is convinced the pier is can be saved.

“As harshly impacted as the whole community is by the long

Richard Conrad “Cappy” Campbell October 23, 1934 - April 14th, 2021 Richard Conrad “Cappy” Campbell, beloved father, grandfather and inspiration to countless, passed away surrounded by his family on April 14th, 2021. His home was full of love, laughter and song at the time of his crossing, and we are blessed to have the memory of this day with him and with each other.

Cappy was born in Whiting, Indiana on October 23, 1934. Straight out of ROTC, he joined the Air Force, where he flew an F-100 Super Sabre, attended the 1960 Olympics in Italy with Chuck Yeager, and earned the loving nickname “Squatty Body”. After his duty, he became an American Airlines captain. He always said “I can’t believe they paid me to fly!” It was with this attitude of humility, optimism, abundance and a steadfast trust in the divine that Cappy moved through the world.

He had a deep and individual connection with everyone he loved, and always the time, patience, understanding and wisdom to see us through any hardship, or to celebrate with us any great joy. He taught us all how to stand up for each other, and to go voraciously into the world in search of knowledge, experience and mystery. He instilled in us an innate curiosity, and taught us how to love truly.

He was all of our favorite person to talk to, and also the kind with whom you could sit in complete silence, with comfort and delight.

Cappy's other love in life was his friends. He spoke cheerfully of friends from high school, college, Air Force squadron mates and his fellow American Airlines pilots.

His neighborhood friends became just as special, and we thank each of you for your calls and emails.

To have known and loved Cappy is to be forever changed for the better, and we will all carry his spirit into the future in everything we do. He has grown a mighty tree.

Richard Campbell is survived by his children: Caren (Campbell) Kamanski,Conni Campbell,Rick Campbell, grandchildren: Brady Truesdale (deceased), Kelli Truesdale, Cole Cintas, Tennessee Kamanski, Jason Campbell, Ryan Campbell, in-laws: Dave Ellison (husband to Conni), Paul Kamanski (husband to Caren), Kellee Campbell (wife to Rick).

closure of the pier, there have been interesting developments at both the state and federal level that makes this a good time for a large project,” she said. “With President Biden’s new climate-focused infrastructure plan and the state money set aside for climate resiliency projects, the pier can be rebuilt and built back better.

“I have brought up the possibility of rebuilding the pier to capture

the power of the waves for renewable green energy,” Schlageter continued. “If the waves are strong enough to keep knocking out our pier every other year, then we should be trying to capture that energy. The political capital is there for a project like this and now the money is too. I would be disappointed if our elected officials aren’t doing everything they can to bring about a project like this.”

assessment to understand the current pier conditions.

“Once this assessment is completed, the report will be updated to reflect the findings,” continued Phillipp. “In the upcoming few weeks, City crews will be making repairs to the railing on the deck of the pier up to the bait facility.

Columns and other structural elements under the pier from the shore to the bait shop have been determined to need future repair and replacement but are structurally sound to allow public access under operational guidelines. Damage to the structure beyond the bait shop is still being assessed and may require repair before the public access is allowed.”

Phillipp added the City continues to move forward with the design of a future capital improvements program project that will repair and replace much of the pier’s structural components that have, or soon will exceed, their useful life while addressing rising sea levels caused by climate change.

Weighing in on the pier, District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell noted: “The Ocean Beach Pier has been a treasured part of our City since it was opened in 1966. But the pier has sustained significant damage through the years.

“My office has asked for updates on the extent of the latest damage since it was closed earlier this year. I am committed to finding a long-term solution and plan to establish a working group involving our local, state and federal partners, community groups, private sector, and non-profits to find the best path forward for the OB Pier, our historic city landmark.”

CONTINUED FROM Page 1

“While the initial cost of the repair option is less, the repairs will not address the continuing deterioration of the pier and the cost to keep the pier operational going forward will be significant,” continues the report. “Rehabilitation will increase the service life of the structure, but the cost is comparable to the replacement option and will change the aesthetics of the structure with the addition of large pile jackets.

“It will also result in extending the service life, but for a shorter amount of time than possible with the replacement. Replacement of the structure will allow the City to design the pier for current seismic codes and address sea-level rise to ensure the pier will be available for generations to come.”

The report estimates it could cost up to $50 million to rehabilitate the OB Pier’s structure.

Reacting to the Moffatt & Nichol report, City senior spokesperson Alec Phillipp pointed out: “The 2019 draft report is an assessment of the pier conditions just after the significant 2019 storm and high surf events. In 2019, damage to the pier’s deck and railing was repaired.

“The columns and other structural elements were determined to need future repair and replacement but were structurally sound to allow public access under operational guidelines. Since then, the pier has been damaged again multiple times by high surf, which has necessitated the closure of the pier and further investigation and OB PIER FACTS – At 1,971 feet, OB Pier is the secondlongest pier on the West Coast and the longest concrete pier in the world.

– The Ocean Beach Municipal Pier was officially christened and introduced to San Diegans on July 2, 1966. California Gov. Edmund G. "Pat" Brown cut the ribbon.

– Piers are traditionally built from the ocean inward. But due to Ocean Beach’s rough surf, its pier was built from the shore out. To accommodate future large waves, a slight vertical incline was added to the pier’s original profile.

– The pier owes its asymmetrical design area residents, who liked the project so much they raised an additional $100,000 while it was still under construction, extending the south bank by 167 feet.

– Although the pier quickly became

a popular destination for locals and tourists, its original purpose was for fishing. Local Ocean Beach fishermen needed a way to prevent their fishing lines and lures from getting tangled in kelp near the shores. Since the construction of the OB Pier, anglers are able to fish in 25-30 feet of water, avoiding most of the shoreline kelp and enabling them to catch species of fish that live in deeper waters.

– Ocean Beach Pier was originally named the San Diego Fishing Pier. The original plaque is still there.

– The pier has more than 500,000 visitors per year.

– Currently, no fishing license is required on the pier.

– The most common fish you will witness being caught on the pier are herring (often called queenfish). There is no limit on them.

Workers are putting the final touches on a new multi-million dollar building on the 96-year-old Point Loma High School campus.

The project began in 2019 with the demolition of an outdated two-story building that housed the school's telephone and computer main distribution frame. Since then, the campus has received a complete re-wiring that provided a new digital telephone system and replacement of the telephone and computer systems in the new building.

on-campus parking.

The project was slated for completion in January of 2022 but may be completed before that date since work has continued uninterrupted while students have been restricted to online learning for the past year.

Also as part of the campus' Whole Site Modernization Project, all remaining classrooms have been upgraded to include the latest technology and the 200 and 300 buildings have been renovated. In addition, another new classroom building was dedicated in 2010.

SeaWorld fireworks reignite noise complaints from Point Loma residents

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

The resumption of fireworks this spring at the recently reopened SeaWorld has resurrected longtime opposition to the pyrotechnic displays, which opponents insist can be harmful to both animals (especially dogs) and people.

SeaWorld, which reopened most rides and exhibits on April 12, restarted nightly fireworks on March 26 through April 11. The fireworks shows, which had been on a long hiatus, will continue on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through May 30.

That action has prompted a new petition drive launched by a San Diego resident on Change.org. The petition, which was started a couple of weeks ago and has 3,536 signatures as of April 21, states: “The fireworks at SeaWorld constitute animal cruelty. Dogs, cats, and other companion animals don't understand that the terrifying loud bangs are a celebration. SeaWorld claims to be

an organization based on animal conservation and education, yet it launches nightly fireworks terrifying and tormenting tens of thousands of animals in the San Diego area.”

“Dogs, cats, and all animals live in terror every night for miles around,” continues the petition.

“Can you imagine what the terrifying booming does to its own animals directly under the thunderous sounds in small tanks reverberating the noises? It is beyond irresponsible for an animal conservation group to be inflicting so much pain and trauma to animals. SeaWorld is notorious for its abuse and neglect of its own animals. It’s not surprising they are completely ignorant to this as well. It’s a disgusting display of ignorance and a complete disregard to animal welfare.”

Reacting to the petition’s allegations, SeaWorld spokesperson Tracy Spahr answered: “We have always conducted our fireworks, which have been a San Diego spring and summer tradition for

more than 25 years, in accordance with City of San Diego noise ordinance (San Diego policy 500-06) that regulates such demonstrations. We try to be mindful of our neighbors and their pets by making sure the program is concluded by 9 or 10 p.m., and always communicate the dates and times of our firework presentations.

“We do understand that atmospheric conditions can cause sound to travel farther distances,” continued SeaWorld’s response. “But we have no way of telling if those conditions have been different now than from previous years. We’ve also used the same fireworks shells for the past decade and as part of our policy, we don't use any fireworks shells for the sole purpose of making noise (these are called salutes), but limit the shells to the smaller version that result in the colorful burst people can see. From our observations and noise studies, animals are said to be used to the various sounds and different noises in their environment, and are quite desensitized to them.”

Regarding the impact of noise from fireworks on its marine park animals, SeaWorld previously asserted: “Our firework displays do not impact the animals in our park. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service filed a report relating to our animals and fireworks that states that ‘all animals were apparently healthy and there were no aberrant behavioral manifestations noted’ ... as a result of firework activities in the evening during summer. More than 10 years of analysis consistently demonstrate that our fireworks displays, which only last five minutes, are not having a detrimental impact on Mission Bay.” There are other, better alternatives to pyrotechnics, states the Change.org petition, adding: “Fireworks are available in silent options. This petition is to encourage SeaWorld to be conscientious about their animals and the tens of thousands of animals around their park that they affect on a nightly basis. Please sign this petition to make a change for their animals and ours.”

Good Time Design, the San Diego- and Nashville-based hospitality and entertainment group, has signed a lease at Liberty Station in the space formerly occupied by El Jardin. This will be the group's third concept in Liberty Station having opened The Presley in July of 2020, and previously operating The Loma Club from 2014 to 2019. The yetto-be-named project has a tentative opening date in August and will offer casual dining on two large patios, and an indoor dining room. Good Time Design Group's executive chef Todd Nash is developing a south-of-the-border menu to match the restaurant's laidback, outdoor setting. Good Time Design’s portfolio includes diverse restaurants, bars and live music venues including current projects Moonshine Flats, Moonshine

It’s like creating your own miniworld and bonding with nature that way.”

Added Chan, “The focus right now is to promote the hobby to a bigger crowd. We really wanted to expand that.”

Chan gives a quick tour of display tanks featuring different underwater aquascape design styles. “This one is our biotope-style tank made to mimic the natural Amazon riverbed with hardscape and driftwood,” she said, pointing to one of several lighted tanks resembling miniature kelp beds. She added those tanks are for sale and exhibit, noting patrons can also buy kits used to re-create aquascape designs. “You can use a QR code (phone-readable bar code) to link to a blog and website to see the creation of the aquascape style from the beginning,” Chan said.

Another Hakkai tank features a Dutch-style enhanced with bubbling carbon dioxide feeding aquatic plants. Chan described another jungle-style tank noting its composition has “a lot of things going on, a lot of tall leaves, a lot of plants, but limited open space.”

Can you mix and match tank styles and be creative?

“Of course,” replied Chan. “It’s your tank, your rule, your world.

There’s no hard rule It’s just more of a reference.”

aquascape-design tanks. They also carry mini tanks for downsizing into smaller office space or living room areas.

Chan said Hakkai hosts monthly workshops on a step-by-step, howto-build-your-own aquascape tank on the Liberty Station lawn.

Hakkai and its sister companies developed by co-creator and CEO Roger Ma, strive to be a global resource for the aquascape community.

On the website, Ma noted Hakkai “started out as a team of passionate planted-tank junkies that saw the need for a collective resource community for aquascapers. We strive to bring in aquatic plants and aquascaping supplies from

partners worldwide who share the same nature aquarium approach as we do.”

Aquascaping can be done in enclosures other than aquariums, such as terrariums. Hakkai will consult with people on how to get started. “An hour ago a couple came in and they wanted to set up something for their birthday,” Chan said. “They asked, ‘Can we scape it at this spot.’ And I said, ‘That’s what our shop is here for.

So they handpicked a few things, and I showed them how to do it (tank landscaping).”

Of aquascaping Chan concluded: “It’s a good marriage between fishkeeping and underwater gardening.”

Golden State Greens gives back to Midway community

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Fending off negative stereotypes, Midway cannabis dispensary Golden State Greens distinguished itself early on by promoting trust in its products, and by giving back to the community.

Golden State Greens at 3452 Hancock St. established its accountability by branding its products as “Cannabis You Can Trust,” while creating an exceptional customer experience.

"At Golden State Greens, we have a Nordstrom's approach to the industry," said owner/operator Adam

Knopf. "We want to be recognized as being the best, so we make sure we're offering the best products and aligning ourselves with the best brands."

Before the pandemic pause, the retail dispensary was also heavily involved in community events. It’s a tradition it intends to resume this year as more COVID restrictions are lifted.

Currently, Golden State Greens’ storefront is gearing up to re-energize the community with beach clean-ups and an annual surfboard drive this summer.

In the past, Golden State Greens

Point Loma Assembly The Point Loma Assembly is all dressed up and awaiting State guidelines for safe indoor gatherings. The 1914 Assembly Hall at 3035 Talbot Street has undergone renovations to its bathrooms to make them more accessible and of course, more beautiful. Local craftsmen have worked with Renovations Chair Victory Lareau, House Chair Marilyn Daniels, and member researcher Beth Collado to complete the renovation to the period of the building.

The Assembly has a long history of affording the community meeting space. Through both World Wars the building was a site for civilian support for the troops serving in the armed forces. It has been the scene for many social activities stretching from Bridge Parties, teas, community meetings and even served as the location for Mr. Benjamin’s Dance Classes. The need for a community meeting place has continued to this day. The Point Loma Assembly is dedicated to fulfilling that need.

The Assembly will be available for half day or full day rentals and offers non-profit organizations special rates. The building is fully heated and air conditioned and offers wifi. The facilities include a large meeting room, a kitchen, stage and tables and chairs.

The Assembly website, pointlomaassembly.org, has detailed rental information. Simply click on the Event Rental tab to get started.

has involved itself in the community by contributing during the holiday season to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, matching whatever is raised. It also advocates for the homeless and partners with local businesses for the greater good.

"We're a community-based dispensary, and with COVID, it's been hard to have community events like we're used to," acknowledged Knopf.

"This past year, a lot of people have been pent up and cooped up, and we want to do what we can to bring everyone together," noted Golden State Greens’ chief marketing officer Alex Leon. “The majority of us are surfers or parents, and we have lived long enough to understand the plant does a lot of good for people and the planet.

For us, it just seems very natural to want to give back through beach cleanups and helping out donating to local charities.”

Pointing out there’s “no true median age” for its clientele, which ranges from age 21 into the 80s, Leon noted the dispensary’s

message is “focused on educating our customers and treating them like family,” while keeping up with the latest developments in technology and products.

Since the beginning of COVID, Golden State Greens has complied with all laws and operated in the safest manner possible while still providing superb customer service.

"We're trying to expand our business to provide better, more effective service to our customers while remaining safe," Leon said. "As business owners, we're

in the throes of change with this pandemic."

Golden State Greens exemplifies a business constantly striving to improve itself and maintain its brand integrity.

"It's super important for us to stay community-driven," Leon said. "As part of that mindset, we're always trying to evolve."

Golden State Green’s dispensary specializes in medical and recreational marijuana, CBD, and cannabis delivery in the Midway District.

Portuguese-themed Monsaraz Hotel set to open in May

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Monsaraz Hotel, with a full-service restaurant-bar, garden courtyard, and community meeting space will debut soon in Point Loma Village.

Named for one of the oldest settlements of southern Portugal, a little fishing village occupied since pre-history, Monsaraz replaces The Dolphin Motel at 2912 Garrison St. on the corner of Rosecrans.

Monsaraz is a 49,150-squarefoot, 92-unit, three-story hotel constructed over a basement garage on the 0.57-acre site.

The project to demolish the old Dolphin Hotel’s four buildings and build a new hotel in its place with a modern coastal-flair style, was unanimously approved three years

"The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity

Can we do what needs to be done, or will we succumb to the call of the easier path? A weak man chooses to remain seated, rather than risk wrath and disapproval by standing up for what's right.

He is survived by a village comprised of his loving wife, family, friends, and the community that he cared so much for.

The Monsaraz San Diego is part of the Tapestry Collection, a “soft brand” of Hilton Hotels.

Delayed somewhat by the pandemic, La Marca noted the new hotel “hasn’t changed from the plans we presented to the community which were geared toward what we heard from them, which was that people wanted a gathering place with community meeting space and a very homey kind of vibe.”

Cameron Lamming, Monsaraz’s chief operating officer, described its amenities, including those provided by its restaurant to be named Westerly Public House.

“It will have a CaliforniaAustralia vibe serving a lot of nice comfort and delicious, fresh healthy food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner,” said Lamming.

“The idea was to engage the local

community that wanted a place to gather. We’re putting in stylings, tiles and murals through all the rooms, with everything geared around the rich Portuguese heritage.”

LaMarca described Monsaraz as “an almost pure leisure hotel.” He added, “It’s for travelers to San Diego who want a little bit of Portuguese nautical theme. We expect to get a little bit of business travel, but it’s primarily a nice leisure hotel for someone who wants to experience all of San Diego, from Balboa Park and the zoo to the quietness and quaintness of Point Loma.”

LaMarca said rooms in Monsaraz will likely rent in the $200 to $260 per-day range. “We’ve put together a fun place for locals and out-oftown guests,” he added.

Lamming said Monsaraz will have a coffee shop serving a local brand, Dark Horse.

Point Loma Summer Concerts rescheduled for 2022

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

After initially planning to host Point Loma Summer Concerts this year, the group’s board has postponed the music series for a second consecutive season.

So the 20th anniversary of the series, which would have been last year, along with the same bands lined up to play for it, has now been rescheduled for summer 2022.

“With a heavy heart, directors met virtually on March 25 and voted to not hold live concerts at Point Loma Park as scheduled this summer,” said concert chair Kerri De Rosier. “The board agreed that we don’t want to be placed into a position of turning fans away from a community concert where all are welcome. The idea of turning people away is just not what we’re about. There is no guidance out there right now for ticketed events. There are also open questions about additional security requirements. And there’s vague language about requiring proof of vaccinations, testing, etc. Also

“On the bright side, we are discussing some form of musical outreach to the community, whether it's a virtual concert or daytime concert in early fall to support our mission of music education,” added De Rosier.

“The same five bands are really excited about returning next year,” said De Rosier. “We have confidence, that was lacking this year, that we will hold the concerts again in 2022, along with a blueprint for safety considerations for holding an outdoor concert.”

De Rosier noted the price tag is more than $100,000 to stage five concerts, factoring in costs for setting up and breaking down the stage, sound and light systems, etc. “It adds up very quickly,” she pointed out adding, “It’s just too much of a chance to take with that kind of money. We’ve also lost a lot of our sponsors because of their businesses suffering during the pandemic. The funding is a big piece for us. It’s a pivot to say, ‘We’re going to do this.’ We do have reserves.

Pointer athletes busy as sports seasons change

BY SCOTT HOPKINS | The Beacon

In this unusual year of just two prep sports seasons, Pointer athletes continue to compete while building strength and skills for future competition.

Wrapping up the first season are boys and girls cross country, field hockey, football, boys and girls swimming and diving, and girls' volleyball.

Sports that have now begun include baseball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls golf, boys and girls lacrosse, boys and girls soccer, softball, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls track and field, boys volleyball, boys and girls water polo and boys and girls wrestling.

Some sports will continue past

the end of the school year. Baseball and softball regional championships, for example, will not take place until June 26. A full listing of dates for each sport can be found at cifsds.org.

Pointer baseball improved its record to 8-4 with a pair of remarkable games. They are currently the ninth-ranked team in Div. I and 14th best in the San Diego CIF section.

The Pointers defeated county power Grossmont 1-0 in a thrilling pitcher's duel that was decided by an inside-the-park home run by Kien Vu. In the fifth inning, Vu drove a high fly to deep left center field and two Foothiller outfielders collided as the ball landed just short of the 380-foot fence. Vu raced around the

bases before his head-first slide beat the throw.

Vu also had a single and with Corbin Chianello's two doubles were the only Pointer hits. Pitchers Hunter Hargett (4 innings), Vu (two), and Duke Ekstrom (1) combined for the shutout.

Grossmont, currently 11-2, is ranked third in Div. I and fourth overall in CIF. Then Pointer bats exploded in a wild 27-1 blowout win over host Valhalla. The score was 22-0 after just three innings as the team pounded out 25 hits, with four each from Duce Gourson (including a double and home run) and Chianello.

Vu (five RBIs) and Matt Nuanez (six RBIs) each slugged home runs

while Gourson (three), Jet Taylor, Jordan Otjen, Ayden Rygiel, and Chianello each added a pair.

On the mound, starter Dominic Nunes and Brevin Taft each threw three innings with Gourson throwing a 1-2-3 final inning. Together the trio combined for two walks and nine strikeouts.

The Pointers open tough Western League play May 3 (away), 5 (home), and 6 (away) against Madison. Other league teams are St. Augustine, Scripps Ranch, and Cathedral Catholic.

Highlights of other PLHS sports include: The Pointers girls soccer team is 6-1-2 overall and 2-0 in Western League and ranked fifth in Div. II and 13th overall in San Diego CIF ratings. Boys soccer is 1-2-2 and ranked 12th among Div. I teams.

Girls' volleyball was ranked ninth in CIF Div. I. They defeated Cathedral Catholic 3-2 at home the day after being swept on the road by the Dons.

Ocean Beach author releases first novel, ‘The Falling Woman’

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Ocean Beach resident Richard Farrell’s first novel is a doozy: A mystery involving an accident investigation of a woman who fell out of an airplane and survived.

“The Falling Woman” was penned by Farrell, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate. The former pilot teaches creative writing at Grossmont College and lives in OB with his wife and two children.

Farrell grew up obsessed with flying and began lessons at age 16.

“I spent countless hours staring at vapor contrails in the sky, identifying airplane silhouettes, and listening to the trembling whir of turboprops on winter nights,” he said. “Well on my way to achieving my dream, I suffered a seizure in the cockpit of a Navy training jet, and my flying career ended. I was 23. I knew I could never again pilot an airplane. I struggled with this for a long time.”

Loosing his pilot’s wings eventually led Farrell to write “The Falling Woman,” a thriller

examining what it means to be singled out by luck or destiny, exploring what we owe to our loved ones in our final days, and what we owe ourselves.

Of his novel, which he worked three years on and which came out in hardcover last June, Farrell said it was loosely based on astounding, similar real-life incidents.

“I used to keep a scrapbook in my mom’s basement with anything to do about plane crashes,” he said. “In research for some short stories I did, I came across

a phenomenon that’s happened five times, of people who’ve actually fallen out of airplanes and survived.”

Citing examples, Farrell said one involved an American World War II tail gunner without a parachute who survived falling out of a plane and onto a train station roof. In another instance, a woman who fell out of a plane into rainforest trees also managed somehow to survive.

THE McCURDY MINUTE Real Estate Topics Everyone Can Relate To 2021 LOCAL MARKET UPDATE We've been in the California real estate industry since 2003 and witnessed its many peeks and valleys. Due to Covid and economic shut downs, the year could have been one of the worst...however, it was one of the biggest growth years in our nation's history and is positioned to outpace again in 2021. Here's a closer look.

“2020 saw the highest home value gains in recent history."

2020 saw the highest home value gains in recent history.

San Diego came in #3 in the nation with a 14.2% gain from 2019 to 2020, just behind Phoenix (15.8%) and Seattle (14.3%).* (Data: S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices)

Do the market trends indicate the market is going to crash?

No one has a crystal ball and this climate is tough to wrap our heads around because it's changing so incredibly fast. For example, since January, Point Loma Peninsula home prices have seen double digit increases which is unprecedented. We are in a seller’s market which means the price is dictated by what buyers are willing to pay. At the moment, buyers are willing to pay, but more importantly are required to get pre-approved by banks with much stricter requirements than the last housing boom. This is good because it theoretically ensures fewer defaults, which in turn, preserves home values.

Covid has certainly created an interesting twist.

Property values are inflated due to pent up demand, com-

petitive interest rates and drastically low inventory. The market should logically start to correct as more homes go up for sale...however, this could take months. In the meantime, baseline comps have been brought to new highs, so prices could certainly maintain...particularly in coastal communities where there is no more land to build on. We will just have to wait and see...!

With the market moving so fast, you must have a plan and be extremely organized.

We are here for you whether you just want to talk it through or need a full strategy.
