Airport expansion concerns on radar in town hall forum BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON

Honor, respect and reverence Above, Brett Cox, 7, of Northpark Boy Scout Troop 319, searches Saturday for the grave of his greatgrandfather — a World War II veteran buried in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma. Hundreds of Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and their parents fanned out across the cemetery to plant flags at each gravesite to mark Memorial Day. At left, Cadets George Mick, 15, and Daniel Murray, 14, of the Miramar-based United States Naval Cadet Corps place flags in tribute.

Airport planners will outline the next steps for Lindbergh Field’s short-term developments during a community town hall meeting Wednesday, June 3 in the Corky McMillin Cos. Event Center, 2865 Dewey Road. The forum begins at 6 p.m. Keith Wilscheitz, director of airport planning for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA) board and retired Rear Adm. Bruce Boland, a board member of the SDCRAA, plan to present the next phases of the terminal development program. The plan includes the addition of 10 gates, an overnight aircraft apron and a dual-level curbfront near terminal 2. The meeting will be an opportunity for community leaders and residents to direct questions at rep-

San Diego County’s drive to deny medical marijuana identification cards disappeared in a puff of smoke last week after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the county’s appeal of Proposition 215 approved by California voters in 1996. As a result, county officials said they expect to address the issue of handing out medical marijuana identification cards as early as next month. “The county Department of Health and Human Services is going to recommend that the board [of supervisors] issue the cards,” said Tom Bunton, San

Diego County senior deputy counsel. The county board of supervisors could hear the issue in June or sooner, Bunton said. State law allows for a costrecovery fee on the cards, but the county “can’t make a profit [by issuing them],” he said. As an example, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department currently charges between $80 and $161 to issue the identification cards. Meanwhile, a medical marijuana facility called the Pacific Beach Collective opened at 929A Turquoise St. on May 11 to the dismay of several neighboring business owners and community

members who say the facility will attract crime and illegal drug use to the neighborhood. While residents and businesses in north Pacific Beach protest the dispensary, they may have to grin and bear it because marijuana used for medicinal purposes is legal under state law — specifically under Proposition 215 — which the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review last week. The case represents a prime example of state’s rights issues because federal law prohibits the sale of medical marijuana. Some Pacific Beach neighbors,

This Sunday, Juliette Simoes has a day planned to rival that of any runner in the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon. As runners in the 12th annual Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon are rounding Rosecrans Street onto Barnett Avenue to the finish line at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot on Sunday, May 31, Simoes will be just a mile away walking in Point Loma’s Portuguese Festa parade as it crosses Rosecrans from Shelter Island on its way to St. Agnes Catholic Church. Queen of the 99th annual Feast of the Holy Spirit held by the Portuguese community in Point Loma, Simoes will start her day at 5 a.m. and finish after midnight as part of the event that honors Portuguese Queen St. Isabel.

Willis Allen Real Estate has been part of the ever-changing San Diego community since 1914. We have seen our clients through good economic climates and severe down turns. Today, we not only share your concerns about the real estate market, but also are living through it with you. Our 200-plus agents and employees are as deeply worried about their investments and their home values as you are about yours. We are collectively concerned about this economy, but we refuse to be in denial and intend to provide you honest assessments, suggestions, support and energy each and every day to join together in an eventual recovery. The bottom line is that this is not 2005! We would all like to think that our homes are still worth what they were a few years ago, but they are not. We can no longer believe that a home acquired for $2 million that was fairly quickly worth $2.75–$3 million is still at these lofty numbers. Statistics and sales simply do not support this.

PT. LOMA $374,900 1BR/1BA Steps to the Bay

This reality might be painful, but denial could be financially catastrophic. A realistic view of your home’s true value in the current market is important, whether it is • Estate or family planning, • Reporting of one’s financial condition, • Liquidity planning, • Or budgeting. Should you need or wish to sell, refinance to obtain equity, or want to understand today’s numbers, it is important to realistically assess value. • Waiting to sell for yesterday’s high price point might only cause more loss and less liquidity. • Overpriced properties will be ignored by brokers and buyers, appearing “shopworn” over time and will likely see lower and lower offers. • Realistic pricing will speed the sale process and will likely obtain higher pricing in negotiations with buyers. There are ready, willing and capable buyers on the sidelines waiting for well-priced opportunities. We are beginning to see positive results, as we have sold some quality properties in the last 30 days.

PT. LOMA $1,200,000 2BR/2BA Fabulous Bay Front

Realizing your home’s maximum potential is our stated goal. At Willis Allen Real Estate, we have the expertise, tools and networks to accomplish this. I have been through many of these downturns in my 35 years of commitment to the real estate sales profession. We are gaining momentum and attitudes are positive. We are in this with you, and it is our intention to support you by providing honest counsel to help you satisfy your real estate needs.

PT. LOMA $2,900,000 3BR/3.5BA Spectacular Townhome

There are some tremendous values available to all of us today. In future years you will thank yourself for making a sound economic decision by investigating the real estate market and purchasing one of today’s great opportunities.

NEWS Rockin’ marathon awaits starting gun BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON

Runners and musicians alike will take over the streets of San Diego this Sunday — 20,000 runners to be precise — when the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon comes to town. The 12thannual marathon set to rock music concludes three days of health and fitness events. "It's essentially a 26.2 mile block party," said event manager Kari Logan. A new element of this year's race is the Rock ’N’ Roll Relay. In the relay, 400 teams of four will complete the course for awards in five different award categories. "We wanted to add a little spark to

the event. It's a good opportunity to give the non-marathon runner a chance to participate in the event," Logan said. "It will hopefully open the door to making them want to run a marathon one day." But the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon is not all about the running. A total of 42 bands will set up at stages along each mile of the course for runners and spectators to enjoy. Forty high school cheer squads will also urge on the runners, competing with each other in the "Spirit of the Course" contest. "Pacific Beach and Mission Bay are the best spectator spots because the neighborhood has taken ownership over the past few years," Logan

Traffic will also snarl across town, and participants should plan an extra one to two hours for travel and expect delays similar to Super Bowl Sunday. The race takes off at 6:30 a.m. at Sixth Avenue and Palm Street in Balboa Park and finishes at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Point Loma.

Shooting, rescues taint otherwise quiet holiday BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON

Aside from a possible gang-related shooting at the Belmont Park parking lot Sunday, police officials reported a Memorial Day weekend without significant incident. No one was injured in the May 24 shooting and police are continuing to investigate, said Lt. Jorge Duran, a San Diego Police Department gang unit investigator. Police are searching for witnesses, Duran said. “We are hoping somebody in the

community may have seen or heard something,” Duran said. “Trying to find folks to cooperate with the gang unit is a challenge.” Beach-area patrols arrested 13 suspected drunken drivers during a DUI checkpoint along Garnet Avenue on Friday, May 22. Police handed out about 122 misdemeanor alcohol citations in Mission, Ocean and Pacific beaches, according to Northern Division Capt. Shelley Zimmerman. The second Memorial Day weekend since the start of a beach alco-

hol ban — a temporary ban last summer and now a permanent ban approved by voters late last year — lured about 750,000 sandal-clad tourists and families over the threeday weekend. “Did the alcohol ban play a role? ...Yes, without question that the atmosphere is very relaxing, very welcoming, even though we had 500,000 more people compared to last year,” Zimmerman said.

We found a common ground.” Lambert said his goals for the show were to show different sides of himself and to not only give the audience what it wanted but to try and “introduce stuff that they didn’t know they wanted.” Noted for some courageous risktaking in his performances, Lambert said this was not the case in high school at San Diego’s Mt. Carmel, where he was considered the “weird kid.” “I definitely wasn’t popular or anything,” Lambert said. “I kind of kept to myself. I did a lot of theater and choir things. I was only accepted in those arts groups, I think.” American Idol’s Homecoming Week recently included a return to the high school, complete with a parade and screaming cheerleaders — something Lambert termed “surreal.” “I wasn’t that courageous early

I pushed myself to the point where it just wasn’t scary anymore.” What does the future hold for Lambert? It begins with a record – “something new, push the boundaries a little bit, push people’s buttons.” “I would just love a couple of days off,” Lambert said. “Go to the beach maybe. Maybe just spend some time absolutely alone.” Time off will be short-lived, however, as rehearsals have begun for the 50-city American Idol 2009 Summer Tour, revving up July 5 — including a stop at the San Diego Sports Arena on July 18.

Drs. Gerry Hardison and Nancy Hardison retired from their teaching positions at UCSD and Point Loma Nazarene University in 2000. “When we thought about retirement, we realized that we weren’t ready to stop working. We just wanted to shift our focus to giving back, helping those in need,” said Gerry. “We didn’t have family obligations tying us here, so we were able to locate where there was no one else to help,” added Nancy. That place they chose was Kenya, Africa. In 2001 the Hardisons joined a program at the Kenyata National Hospital in Nairobi, the capital. In 2003 they were invited to Maseno, a rural village near President Obama’s father’s birthplace. While there they worked tirelessly to rejuvenate a hospital, school of nursing, theological college, and various self-help organizations. “The Maseno hospital was crumbling and offered almost no services,” said Gerry. Today, with assistance from groups and individuals throughout North America, the hospital has inpatient wards, outpatient department, maternal/child health clinic, HIV/

AIDS clinic, medical laboratory, pharmacy, x-ray, and operating theater. The nursing school and theological college are also flourishing. “We like coming home to Point Loma,” said Nancy, “but the best is when people come to visit us in Africa. It’s a real boost for us all.” Proceeds from the MayFaire Market, May 30, 10am–4pm, Corner of Chatsworth and Catalina Blvd’s, will go to support the Hardisons’ work in Kenya.

Friday’s DUI checkpoint resulted in several arrests for driving without driver licenses and other offenses. Police did not establish checkpoints after Friday. An increase in arrests, however, means police are doing their job, said McCullough. “It’s not that there’s more drunk drivers ,we just have more enforcement … If we’re not seeing an increase in alcohol-related vehicle collisions, then we know that we’re holding the line,” McCullough said. He said no major collisions were reported. Funding for DUI checkpoints comes from an estimated $1 million grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, McCullough said, and pays for overtime. Lifeguards also had their hands full over the holiday weekend. San Diego Lifeguard Services Lt. Andy Lerum said strong currents and throngs of people made for quite a bit of rescue activity. Lifeguards reported 219 water rescues and 229 calls for medical attention over the three-day weekend. “Overall, it was pretty busy but nothing spectacular,” Lerum said.

however, are livid. “I don’t see any positive aspects to it,” said Jack Story, a 20-year resident. “It’s probably not good for business.” Story said many older folks in north Pacific Beach fear the store will attract crime and make people afraid to patronize nearby businesses. And with Pacific Beach Elementary within walking distance, at least one parent fears the store might attract dangerous drug addicts to the area. “It’s a necessary evil but we just don’t want it in our backyard,” said Dawna Deatrick, president of Friends of Pacific Beach Elementary School, a parent-teacher organization.Lenny Olsen, manager of the Pacific Beach Gardens at 910 Turquoise St., said there was no announcement about the facility. There is no public noticing requirement for starting a dispensary, according to Pacific Beach Collective store managers. Olsen said he wants one. “If I want to have an establishment to sell alcohol, I have to notify the community, but they can open up a medical marijuana store?” Olsen said. “How come they don’t have to notify [the public]?” Olsen added that he doesn’t want his 10-month-old son exposed to a neighborhood culture

that would “normalize” marijuana drug use. While many in the neighborhood take issue with the store, the facility is protected under California law as a result of the voterapproved Proposition 215. The Compassionate Use Act of 1996 legalized marijuana for seriously ill persons as long as they have a doctor’s recommendation, according to San Diego County Deputy District Attorney Steve Walter. In 2004, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, Senate Bill 420, established a voluntary patient identification and registration system. While the intent of the regulations is to help patients in serious pain, many recreational drug users circumvent the law. “Most people that voted for [Prop 215] were thinking of people who were gravely ill and marijuana was something to ease their pain … it’s unfortunate that there’s people that have taken it to the extreme and are ruining it for whom the law it was intended for,” Walter said. Robert, 36, showed up at Pacific Beach Collective for different reasons on the store’s opening day. A Pacific Beach resident, Robert asked that his last name not be published. Robert, a mixed martial arts instructor, said a series of knee operations and shoulder and other training injuries had left him in a lot of pain.

Robert said doctors prescribed him pharmaceutical painkillers that had addictive side effects and made him ill. Robert registered with the Pacific Beach Collective and can now legally acquire the medicine he needs. Sean Grady, the dispensary’s treasurer, said he wants to dispel rumors that the store is a methadone dispensary clinic or needle exchange program. He added that a plainclothes, unarmed security guard will monitor activity inside, along with a video camera security system. “Hopefully, the community will see how we actually handle things and embrace us,” Grady said. San Diego and Merced counties filed a civil court case in February of 2006 questioning the legality of dispensaries under federal law. Later that year, federal and county law officials cooperated to shut down approximately eight beacharea dispensaries and several others throughout the county, according to published reports. Meanwhile, a movement to legalize and tax the federally controlled substance is underway. Assembly member Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) introduced Assembly Bill 390 in February to regulate and tax the plant the same way the state regulates beer and liquor. The pending legislation would generate up to $1.3 billion in revenue, according to Ammiano’s website.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Agrees OB’s homeless behavior out of control Re: “Homelessness concerns need to be addressed,” May 14 Beacon, page 6: So I’m sitting here, minding my own business on a Saturday afternoon after chores — across from the Sacred Heart School’s mini street fair — jamming to blasting tunes with my windows and doors open to the breeze on the corner of Cable and Saratoga Streets in Ocean Beach. In walks an unkempt stranger, who sits down and takes a cigarette. I am physically frozen while my mind bounces from “Call 911” to “Take another one for the road ... goodbye.” Thank God the latter worked! I absolutely agree with Todd Strong’s letter to the editor regarding homeless concerns needing to be addressed. I’m a low-income, hardworking renter, myself fearing the possibility of homelessness, but I would never cross such boundaries as this individual who seemed to have come to the point of bizarre entitlement in a totally warped, Robbin Hoodish — NOT Twilight Zonish — manner. I’m getting so paranoid around here with the numerous unsavory activities that I’m wondering if it’s a skunk, or a homeless person that keeps breaking into my outside groundlevel ventilation screen. I believe our society still has a long way to go toward helping others by “teaching them to fish, and not just give them a fish.” I don’t have it, but even I will tithe a dollar in a parking lot or wherever, but this person’s behavior was indeed outside human boundaries.

the satellite view on Google Earth? Maybe she also could also explain how any bench could be associated in any manner to any of the recent incidents of people falling from the bluffs. It has been my experience that the people who spend time sitting on the benches at Sunset Cliffs take a community ownership of the area and know to pick up trash, erase graffiti and generally police the area. These are the type of people that should be encouraged to spend time at Sunset Cliffs. If people are allowed to sit on benches at the cliffs, there is more of a likelihood that any future bluff fall will be reported in time to save a life. Tom Hadfield Ocean Beach

Removed benches were source of enjoyment

Benches along Sunset Cliffs were installed by the local community. Individuals saw value to the community at each site for the enjoyment of the view or a spot to sit and rest. These benches were simple wooden boards placed along the guardrail at scenic spots. Reinstall those benches, which were in safe locations, immediately! Then let the planning and debate begin on how the benches will be removed and replaced! Its time for the city employees to correct the damage they have caused to our park! How long will it take for benches to be approved after the following: • planning and debate; • design; • bids; Kristina Kinkade • funding; Ocean Beach • construction and installation; and • ribbon-cutting?

that first season, 35 likeminded choristers were gathering to sing every Monday evening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Many of those first members were high school students.

Wrong. After several months for renovation, I discovered that the newly installed toilets flushed even more water. I have been taking the water crisis seriously. My husband and I have installed low-flush toilets, shower every three days and do the laundry and dishwasher only when full. We’ve taken out our lawn, put in imitation grass, relandscaped with rocks, boulders and drought-tolerant plants. So I ask, Mayor Jerry Sanders, what is the city doing to save water? Why did the city install these high-volume flush toilets? I would hope the city would lead by example.

Association members, Rotary and Lion's Club members, Point Loma High School students and even an occasional library patron, drawn in by the singing as they pass by the Community Room on the way to return a library book. They are mothers and daughters, husbands and wives and friends, ranging in age from 18 to over 80. They are people who love to sing. But the glue that helps bind the Peninsula Singers is its director, Sarah Suhonan. Her positive attitude and gentle guidance create a stress-free atmosphere, encouraging choir members to enjoy the music, the singing and the camaraderie. The Peninsula Singers’ final concert for this season will be on Friday, June 5. Check their website, www.peninsulasingerssandiego. org, for more information. The choir takes a break during the summer, then starts back up right after Labor Day. If you love to sing, stop by on a Monday evening and add your voice to the harmony. Marcia Berneger Point Loma

San Diego County Taxpayers Association lauds good, chastises wasteful BY LORALEE OLEJNIK | THE BEACON

The San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA), a nonprofit organization that monitors government spending, held its 14th annual Golden Watchdog & Golden Fleece Awards Dinner May 13. The event commemorates the best (Watchdogs) and chastises the worst (Fleeces) uses of local tax-

bazaar and Queen’s Ball that ends at midnight. Simoes will be wearing 80 pounds of gown, cape and crown in honor of St. Isabel, who fed the hungry and poor from her own table. Even for a trained athlete, carrying 80 pounds for more than 12 hours is a test of endurance, if not faith. “You have so much adrenaline and excitement you ignore the pain,” said Simoes, who has, like an athlete, practiced for her role, which includes walking the mile parade route in heels, cape, gown and crown. “If you think about the pain it takes away from what you’re doing.” The parade through Point Loma begins at 9 a.m. Sunday, May 31 on Shelter Island and proceeds to St. Agnes for a Mass, where last year’s Festa queen will pass on her crown to Simoes. Afterward, a feast and bazaar open to the public will be held at the United Portuguese S.E.S. Hall, 2818 Avenida de Portu-

payer dollars. “This is the optimal time for “right-sizing” government and implementing desperately needed reform,” said Lani Lutar, President and CEO of SDCTA. Despite the lagging economy and general decline in revenue most non-profits are experiencing, Lutar said this year was the largest attendance on record for the dinner, the organization’s pri-

gal on Shelter Island. Sopas, the traditional Portuguese meal, will be served. A donation is suggested. A 2008 graduate of Point Loma High School, where she was a member of Mothers and Daughters Clubs Assisting Philanthropies (MADCAPS), the 19-year-old Simoes is now a student at Grossmont College and works in her family-owned Postal Annex. Being queen of Point Loma’s annual Festa is “the biggest honor any Portuguese girl could get,” Simoes said. “No words can explain how I feel. It has nothing to do with popularity. It’s all about the

mary fundraiser. Some of the Golden Watchdog award recipients included the city of San Diego for pension reform and for tough cuts to compensation, and SANDAG for safeguarding capital improvement projects. Golden Fleeces were bestowed upon the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association (SDCERA) for costly hedge fund investments, and the city of Holy Spirit.” The legend of Queen St. Isabel is that, despite her husband’s objections, she fed the poor from her own table. When he caught Isabel leaving the house one night he demanded that she open her cape. Queen Isabel said a prayer to the Holy Spirit and opened her cape. Instead of the bread she was carrying, roses fell out. Simoes’ role as queen was made possible by her parents, Suzette and Julio, who are sponsoring this year’s Festa like they did in 1999, when their eldest daughter was queen and Juliette was little queen. Sponsoring the Festa sometimes comes down to luck. When more than one family wants to be a sponsor, names are pulled from a hat. “Whoever the Holy Spirit wants to choose is chosen,” said Simoes. At 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Simoes will complete her role as queen and draw a name at random from the hat to determine next year’s sponsor — the 100th anniversary of the Feast of the Holy Spirit — San Diego’s oldest ethnic tradition. For more information about the Festa, call (619) 223-5880.

who chairs the Peninsula Community Planning Board Airport Committee. “Land-use compatibility, noise mitigation and future expansion, those questions are really going to come forward in terms of the community’s concern and bring forth, hopefully, some real comments and possibly some solutions,” Khalil said. C3 president Steve Haase will also participate in the town hall meeting. C3 is an organization made up of about 350 San Diego residents and community members who meet about once a month to discuss long-term city planning. “I don’t want to get into a debate about where the airport should be [a possible relocation of Lindbergh Field],” Haase said. “We have to make decisions about our existing facilities that serve our region.” With the airport affecting traffic along North Harbor Drive and obstreperous aircraft flying over Peninsula communities, residents like Greg Finley have said they want a better long-term airport development plan that includes moving Lindbergh Field or building another airport. In 2006, San Diego voters rejected a plan to build another airport at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Finley said he is disappointed the U.S. military is not sending a representative to the town hall forum to discuss options and share viewpoints.

Is My Parent’s Caregiver Mistreating Him? You live far from your parents and have hired caregivers to care for your parents but as their mental status deteriorates, you begin to worry that the caregivers are mistreating them. From a distance, it may be difficult for you to assess what is happening in their home. A geriatric care manager can help. She is able to keep track on how things are going. She would keep in touch with you by phone or email and take note of any concerns. A geriatric care manager is also a mandated reporter so she will be aware of any signs of neglect or mistreatment which can happen to anyone. Neglect or mistreatment can take the form of domestic violence, emotional abuse, financial abuse and

just basic neglect. Sometimes, the needs associated with caring for an older adult can cause a caregiver to lash out physically or verbally. Sometimes, in the mid-to-late stages of Alzheimer’s disease, the older person may become physically aggressive or difficult to manage causing the caregiver to become abusive. Abuse and neglect are never acceptable responses. The geriatric care managers and caregivers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants are ready to step in immediately to help you. Call them at 877-7311442 anytime day or night. View our website at innovativehc.com.

PETS Planning the Perfect Getaway without Your Pet Made Easy Memorial Day weekend typically signifies the start of summer when millions of Americans go on vacation. During these “dog days” of summer, pet owners are packing their bags and planning the perfect summer getaway without their pet companions. With the help of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) nationwide referral network, planning a vacation without your pet has never been easier. Choosing a professional pet sitter is beneficial to both the pet and owner. Although the master is away, the pets will still play, and be happy within their own home. Pets benefit from being in a safe, comfortable, familiar environment following the usual diet and exercise regimen, and medical treatments as necessary. Although the owner is out of reach, the pet still receives lots of love and personal attention. Pet owners are foregoing the burden and anxiety of transporting their prized pet in exchange for peace of mind and additional security. With a professional pet sitter, the owner can rest assured the pet is safe and well cared for, while their home is protected by

crime deterrent measures provided by most professional pet care-givers. “Professional pet sitters are licensed, bonded and insured, and ultimately the best option for owners leaving their precious pets behind this summer,” commented Monica Leighton, president of NAPPS. “No longer do pet owners have to worry about inconveniencing family, friends and neighbors. Hiring a professional pet sitter is a win-win situation for everyone involved, especially the pet.” NAPPS nationwide referral network is a valuable online resource for locating pet sitters in all areas of the country. With one simple search, pet owners have access to contact information for member companies, services provided, and even details regarding their experience and expertise. The nationwide referral network is easily accessible at www.petsitters.org. NAPPS is dedicated to promoting the welfare of animals. The Association aims to help the pet owning public by fulfilling its vision statement, “To be the most respected authority in professional pet sitting.” It does so by providing the tools and support to

foster the success of its members. Additionally, pet owners can benefit from NAPPS’ free resources including a disaster preparedness guide, tips on how to select a pet sitter, nationwide referral service, and quarterly teleconferences aimed to educate the pet owning public. NAPPS is a national non-profit trade association dedicated to promoting the concept of in-home pet care, supporting the professionals engaged in at-home pet care, promoting the welfare of animals and improving and expanding the industry of pet sitting. NAPPS provides valuable credibility, networking and education to help foster the success of their members. For more information on NAPPS, please contact the national headquarters: 15000 Commerce Parkway, Suite C, Mt. Laurel, N.J. 08054; Phone: 856-439-0324; Fax: 856-439-0525; Email: napps@ahint.com.

SPORTS 9 Pointers cap regular season on high note, advance to playoffs THURSDAY · MAY 28, 2009

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI | THE BEACON

The Point Loma High School (PLHS) Pointers baseball team wrapped up the regular season with a 9-7 victory over University City High on May 21, motoring into a first-round playoff matchup with Oceanside High on Tuesday, May 26. The Pointers triumphed in resounding fashion in the CIF Division II battle Tuesday, 13-0. The victory set up the next playoff round yesterday, May 27 against Westview High. Results were unavailable at press time. Last Thursday’s win over UC High

improved the team’s regular season record to 18-10 overall and 6-6 in the Western League and snapped a seven-game slide for PLHS. “We started off 17-3 this year and, offensively, our bats were hot,” said PLHS head baseball coach Jon Posternack. “But then we dropped two tough games to Cathedral. We played them tough at home but lost 7-6. After that, we went into a slump. Sometimes you’re hot, sometimes you’re not.” In the first 20 games of the 2009 season, the Pointers outscored their opponents 161-97. But during the seven-game losing streak, PLHS was outscored 50-22. Four players

hit over .300: senior Coleman Cox (.366), senior Patrick dela Garza (.355), senior Ridge Deakman (.355) and junior Zach Skarbic (.375). Sophomore Campbell Wear led the team’s on-base percentage at .513. The Pointers also had two of the top five pitchers in overall wins in the Western League. The Pointers pitching staff was led by a pair of underclassmen — sophomore Kellen Urbon and freshman Connor Baits. Urbon led the team and the Western League in wins with 8 and went 8-1 overall, while Baits contributed five wins. “Connor went 5-5 but he could have easily been 7-3 if we were hit-

ting better in those games,” Posternack said. Despite the struggle down the stretch, Point Loma won 18 games for the first time since the 2001 season and achieved its best record under Posternack. Since his arrival in 2005, the Pointers improved all around, going from 13-17 in 2006 to 17-15 in 2007, slipping in 2008 to 16-16. But the 18-10 record in 2009 shows the program is back on track. The Western League was as strong as ever this year, with six of the seven teams over .500 and three teams with at least 18 victories. The Cathedral Dons (10-2) emerged as league champions while defending

co-league champion Coronado finished a game behind (9-3). Defending back-to-back co-Western League champion Mission Bay (3-9) finished tied for last this year. Every team from the Western League qualified for the playoffs this year, with Cathedral and Coronado qualifying as No. 1 seeds in Division 3 and 4, respectively. “This was the best season that we have had in years,” Posternack said. “Even though it was frustrating because we couldn’t win a game for a couple of weeks, the guys fought hard and we got off to one of our best starts ever in the regular season.”

Rowing regatta: an epic journey from bay to bay BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON

Paddlers will row themselves along a 20-mile course from Mission Bay to San Diego Bay on Saturday, June 6 in the 26th annual Bay to Bay Rowing and Paddling Regatta to benefit the Peninsula Family YMCA. More than 250 competitors will take to the seas, and the regatta is made up of two separate races. The 20-mile race starts between 6:30 and 7 a.m. and is geared toward the advanced racer, while the fivemile beginners race begins between 9 and 10 a.m. The 20-mile course takes competitors from Santa Clara Point inside Mission Bay past the Mission Beach Jetty into the ocean, around the southern tip of Point Loma and into Coronado Bay, where the race finishes at Tidelands Park Beach Landing just before the Coronado Bay Bridge. The five-mile race starts at Shelter Island in Coronado Bay and also finishes at Tidelands Park. In its early years, the regatta was primarily a rowing event. Since then, the race has expanded to

include all kinds of human-powered watercraft, including paddleboards, surf skis, kayaks and outriggers for a total of 45 categories between the two races. Basically, as long as the vessel doesn’t have a motor, it’s good to go. The regatta has added a new category this year – stand-up paddling. “It’s kind of the old Hawaiian thing where they stand up on a paddleboard and paddle,” said event coordinator and YMCA department head Greg Erickson. “That has become more popular in the past couple years.” Even pets have become part of the action in recent years. “One family every year enters a triple kayak,” Erickson said. “It is a husband and wife and their two Labradors.” The regatta raises funds for financial aid and scholarships for the youth aquatic programs at the Peninsula Family YMCA. Erickson said that despite not having as many sponsors for the event as in years past, the races are not going anywhere in the near future.

Every Day: Happy Hour 4:30-6:30pm

“It’s the longest running paddleboard event in southern California,” Erickson said. “We were the first people to have an event like this. It really means a lot to us.” Because most of the event is in open water, it’s difficult to watch the race. Spectators can view the race from the Mission Beach Jetty between 6:30 and 8 a.m. Paddlers can also be seen from Shelter Island and Harbor Island. The finish line is a great viewpoint point between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. “You can walk down the Coronado boardwalk and view the last mile of the race to the finish line at Tidelands Park,” Erickson said. Activities and a barbecue will follow the race at Tidelands Park. An awards presentation, silent auction, raffle prizes, vendors and Hawaiian dancers and drummers will finish the event. Registration for the event is $45 until June 1 and $60 from June 2 to 6. Forms can be found on the YMCA’s website, www.peninsula.ymca.org. For more information on the regatta, call the YMCA at (619) 226-8888.

One of the area’s most creative music promoters, Jefferson Jay, has had a hand in many worthy projects. But perhaps nothing approaches his annual “24 Hours of Free Music” extravaganza. Offering exactly what the name implies, Jay coordinates dozens of performers into a 24-hour frenzy of local music with something for just about everyone. The 2008 event was filmed and made into a concert documentary of the same name by director Dylan Avery, offering music fans the chance to catch the festival’s best moments without sleep deprivation. On Thursday, May 28, Portugalia restaurant will host the film’s premiere and DVD release party. The evening’s $10 admission price includes the movie, shown in two parts, dinner and an intermission performance from Mary Dolan, who appears in the film. An additional 34 artists get screen time, including Sene Africa, Rob Deez and Don Truisdail. Backstage moments and interview footage round out the experience. Jay said the film condenses the day’s events to four hours, but it can still be overwhelming to take in at once. “It’s not really meant to be watched in one sitting,” Jay said. “Really, it’s been designed to be appreciated in small bursts or however long your attention span is.” ACROSS 1 Bicycle part 6 Darkens 10 Dramatis personae 14 Mad 19 Wet outdoors 20 Wharton or Piaf 22 Musical group 24 Unwind 25 Kind of orange 26 The subway in Paris 27 Stage 28 Increase dramatically 29 Gong 30 Martin or McQueen 32 Stage direction 34 Finished 35 Perfume 39 Strict 41 Something that impedes 43 Distributes cards 45 Conceal 47 Account entry 48 Compass pt. 51 Tic 53 Air pollutant 55 In medias 56 Obese 59 Mongrels 61 Go by boat 62 Cup handles 64 Shade of red 66 Bouquet 68 Uppity one 70 - at the wheel 72 Scandinavian 73 Discover 75 Keep watch over 77 Rose oil 79 City in Iowa 80 Make over 82 Stage play 84 Dictator 86 Tier 88 Decorates 90 Medicinal tablet 91 Superficial (hyph.) 95 Hippodrome 97 Martini fruits 101 Neighbor of Ark. 102 50's rock star 104 Residential area 106 Egyptian talisman 108 Swiftly 110 Listed 112 Hair preparations 114 Scoundrel

Jefferson Jay will debut the film “24 Hours of Free Music” at Portugalia restaurant on Thursday, May 28. The film captures a 24-hour frenzy of musical enterCOURTESY PHOTO tainment captured during an event by the same name in 2008.

He said his reasons for starting this event are the same today as when he founded it in 2005. “I wanted to set a positive example,” Jay said. “There is a lot of talent to showcase here, and this is an excellent way to draw attention to local music.” He said he hopes the idea takes off. “Not so much here in San Diego, but in other cities around the country there isn’t a lot of optimism,” Jay said. “I think this is a way to show that things aren’t so bleak.” Jay’s favorite thing about the DVD isn’t the music but the camaraderie between the musicians and their audience. “’24 Hours’ is an idealist state,”

Jay said. “The film captures it all better than I could’ve imagined. It shows people acting like family in a community that’s thriving. I love that.” Jay said he is also thrilled with the opportunity to export the “24 Hours of Free Music” experience around the world via DVD. “We hope to get it shown at festivals or wherever we can,” he said. “But we’re just as happy to simply put this music and experience in people’s homes.” “24 Hours of Free Music” premieres Thursday, May 28 at Portugalia, 4839 Newport Ave., at 7 p.m. The $10 admission includes dinner.
