San Diego Community Newspaper Group
City’s mayoral candidates weigh in on beach issues
TOUCHING TRIBUTE
The San Diego Community Newspaper Group presents coverage of the city mayoral race on Tuesday, June 5. A five-question format was developed and submitted to each of the four major candidates. Candidate:
CARL DeMAIO (City Councilman)
What is the single-greatest challenge or obstacle facing San Diego’s beach communities and what would you do as mayor to meet this challenge or obstacle? DeMAIO: The single-greatest challenge facing all of our communities are the fiscal problems at City Hall — driven by runaway pension costs. For our beach communities, we have seen the fiscal crisis result in service cuts, reduction in police and fire coverage, threats to our fire pits, and streets and boardwalks that are falling apart. I’m not waiting to be mayor to fix this problem, Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma was brimming with American flags and patriotism over the Memorial Day weekend in tribute to fallen heroes. Left, members of Christian Family Schools — a group of San Diego homeschoolers — has been taking the flags down the day Photos by Jim Grant I The Beacon after Memorial Day and rebundling them for reuse for the last 15 years.

2012 PLHS graduates prepare for jump into real world BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON
Pointers’ cream of the crop stand as examples BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON Two young men will share the title of valedictorian of the Point Loma High School (PLHS) class of 2012. With their common love of mathematics, the numbers 4.7 and 5.0 describe both students. Those numbers represent their 4.7 overall grade-point average — 5.0 during their senior years. Tied for valedictorian honors, the two are also like brothers, definitely close friends. Corten Singer and Sabahudin Redzepovic shared much else in common

during a recent conversation on the PLHS campus. They chose a favorite place to talk:
Three young men — two honored as valedictorians and one salutatorian — will lead their 425 classmates onto Bennie Edens Field at 3 p.m. Tuesday, June 12 to the familiar sound of “Pomp and Circumstance” as Point Loma High School’s (PLHS) 87th commencement unfolds before an overflow crowd of parents, relatives and friends. Valedictorians Corten Singer and Sabahudin Redzepovic achieved 4.77 cumulative grade-point averages. Salutatorian Aaron Bagnell, who is headed to UC Berkeley, would also have the same average, but he ran for the cross country team, earning four points for an “A” instead of the five given in weighted classes.

Candidate:
CARL DeMAIO
BONNIE DUMANIS (District Attorney)
What is the single-greatest challenge or obstacle facing San Diego’s beach communities and what would you do as mayor to meet this challenge or obstacle? DUMANIS: Our beaches are San Diego’s natural treasures and the single-biggest obstacle for beach communities is the city’s overall financial condition. We currently don’t have the money to make real progress on sewer upgrades, for instance. Sewer spills can be devastating in our beach communities, causing environmental, health and economic problems for those communities. As mayor, SEE DUMANIS, Page 6 Candidate:

Candidate: NATHAN FLETCHER (State Assemblyman)
What is the single-greatest challenge or obstacle facing San Diego’s beach communities and what would you do as mayor to meet this challenge or obstacle? FLETCHER: Water — our region’s most precious resource — is the heart of San Diegans’ quality of life. Whether it is ensuring a healthy economy or preserving clean beaches and bays, both our economic base and our quality of life depend on how our city protects its water resources. Unfortunately, we continue to pollute our beaches,

The Ocean Beach Farmers Market is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. While the food and produce gets much of the attention at the weekly event, it’s often overlooked that the event also a great place to catch musical entertainment. Over the last two decades, the unassuming “stage” — essentially a strip of asphalt at the junction of Bacon Street and Newport Avenue — has hosted hundreds of local and national performers, all happy to play in the Ocean Beach sunshine. On Wednesday, June 20, however, the farmers market will be the site of an annual new showcase called The Ocean Beach Street Fair Preview that will feature artists who will then play at the huge annual OB Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off Festival on Saturday, June 23. On hand will be Kim Monroe, Peter Hall and Chuck Schiele, along with a few special guests promised by organizer Michael Head. “It’s the 33rd year of the street fair and a concert like this, giving the public a chance to check out a few of the performers who are taking part in this year’s street fair, has never been done before,” Head said. “I figured it was a good way to build up to the street fair,

but also some of the acts from out of town like Kim and Chuck, both from New York, who will be in the area a few days early. So I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try something like this.” He said he hopes the event will become an annual tradition along the lines of the popular Ocean Beach Farmers Market Holiday Toy Drive, which brings out more than a dozen of San Diego’s artists. Head said he books all types of artists, from rock and country to hip hop and singer-songwriter, but that performers have to keep things family friendly. Having been the promoter of the farmers market concert series for two years now, he points out that a street gig like this has different challenges than a typical club gig.
“Logistically, playing on the street is a little tricky,” he said. “For example, the area that we have the performances in has a little slope to it, but it’s the best spot to play. We’ve looked into other options as far as locating the music elsewhere or even putting up a stage, but the feedback we’ve gotten about the way things are is so good. People love that little area and it really is perfect, right in the middle of everything. Like they say, it’s all about location, location, location.” Head considers the farmers market gig to be one of the most unique — as well as rewarding — locations to play before a crowd in San Diego. “It’s hard to beat the ocean breezes and afternoon or evening sunshine,” Head said. “We have a lot of regulars who look forward to whatever might be on the schedule each week. They just pull up their lawn chairs and enjoy what’s next. This showcase concert will offer a lot of variety for the crowd.” According to head, one of the keys to the event’s success to date is the proximity of the artists to their audience. “Playing on the streets will always have its share of interesting situations and challenges that can come up, especially with being right face to face with people,” he said. “But it also offers a sort SEE SHOWCASE, Page 7

Point Loma skier, 22, triumphs over athlete’s worst nightmare BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON Sharp HealthCare Foundation will celebrate the community spirit of local heroes who have turned tragedy into triumph at the 22nd annual “Victories of Spirit” award ceremony on Friday, June 1. This year, four individuals and one local organization will be honored with the Eagle Spirit Award, an award symbolizing the Navajo sign of the most potent healing power. “The Victories of Spirit event celebrates the power of rehabilitation and strength of the human spirit, honoring former rehabilitation patients who have overcome great adversity,” said David Brown, system director of Sharp HealthCare’s Rehabilitation Services. One such local hero, UCSD student and Point Loma native Randy Ewing, will be honored for his dedication to helping injured athletes get back into action through his volunteer efforts with High Fives — a Tahoe-based nonprofit that raises funds and awareness for people who suffer from life-altering winter action sports injuries. Ewing, 22, an avid outdoor sports enthusiast and lifelong skier, is lucky to be alive after suffering a serious brain injury while taking on a complex new ski trick on the slopes at Mammoth Mountain two years ago. Following his determined recovery at Sharp Memorial Hospital — including having to relearn basic motor functions and memory retention — Ewing realized how fortunate he was to regain his ability to do what he loved. This realization makes him more passionate about the sport now than ever before, he said. “I’ve been hurt. I’ve broken bones, but I’ve never been disabled or held back by anything,” he said. “Going through rehab at Sharp, I realized how lucky I am to be able to continue to do what I want to do. There are a lot of people who aren’t able to do what they are passionate about after an injury.” Shortly after his recovery, not only was Ewing hitting the slopes again, but he also took the lead in putting on a huge fundraising event for High Fives.
Under his leadership, the nonprofit put forth a successful film-screening fundraiser, showing Red Bull’s “Art of Flight” and “Retallack” to more than 500 attendees, along with a special appearance by seven-time Winter X Games gold medalist Tanner Hall. Through Ewing’s efforts, the nonprofit was able to exceed its fundraising goals to provide scholarships and resources to help athletes recover from sports injuries and get back to doing what they love. Although dealing with a traumatic injury is a devastating ordeal, Ewing said his injury sparked something in him that made him more compassionate toward others who have suffered from similar situations. “It certainly makes you more sympathetic. It gives you more of an understanding of what they’re going through, even if it’s not exactly what you went through,” he said. Ewing attributes much of his successful recovery efforts to the people who surrounded him and helped him through his own trying recovery process. Now, he says, he is just returning the goodwill. “I think the biggest thing I’ve learned over the past couple of years is that when you get knocked down, you have to get back at it,” he said. “No help goes unnoticed. A lot of times, when you see someone who’s down and out, you think you can’t do anything to help, but every little bit really does mean something.” Ewing continues his involvement with High Fives, while managing the campus’ outdoor sports rental shop and finishing up his degree in cognitive neuroscience. He will accept his award at the Manchester Grand Hyatt at 6 p.m. on June 1, along with three other former rehabilitation patients — Heather Berner, Russell Storm and Bill Lundstrom — and local organization HeadNorth. The 2012 Victories of Spirit celebration, sponsored by Sharp HealthCare Foundation will benefit Sharp Rehabilitation Services programs, including adaptive sports, challenged women’s support initiative, traumatic brain injury support and general rehabilitation.

PLHS Principal Bobbie Samilson will present the class to a member of the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education, who will formally accept them. Each graduate will have a brief moment in the afternoon sun as his or her name is read before they walk across the a temporary platform to receive an empty diploma holder and pose for a photo with Samilson. Finally, after Senior Class President Kyle Sutter’s remarks, the school’s newest alumni will gather at the center of the football field to fling their caps skyward in one final act of class unity before the celebrating begins. The barriers will then removed and waves of proud folks armed with digital cameras and bearing bouquets of colorful
flowers and leis will descend upon the field. They will attempt to locate their favorite graduate, who is simultaneously trying to locate his or her best friends. It’s a scene that will last for perhaps an hour until graduates are reminded they must turn in their caps and gowns in the school gym. This is where the actual diplomas will be given, and for the few students who were “on the bubble,” holding the small piece of paper will prompt a heavy sigh of relief. The day marks an end of compulsory education for the throng, but PLHS counselors report 78 percent of the class of 2012 will continue on to higher education in two or four-year colleges. Other students are planning to enter vocational schools, the military or the workforce. Sarah Brandl, PLHS’ new head counselor, quickly discovered what previous generations of Pointers have known. “I’ve really fallen in love with this school and the community,” Brandl said. “It’s a great school and we are very proud of our graduates.

Both honorees were what one might expect of such highly talented youth: extroverted, smiling, talkative, polite and eager to share their experiences and talk about their futures with a constant twinkle in their eyes. Following graduation, however, the two will be taking different paths. “I’m heading up north a bit to UC Berkeley,” said Singer. “I visited last spring and am really excited to be going there. It’s a great campus.” Singer said he plans to major in engineering, “most likely mechanical.” Blessed with multiple college acceptances, Singer revealed one Berkeley advantage. “I can still surf there,” said the current co-captain of the PLHS surf team, who cited math and the sciences as his strengths. “I chose the University of Chicago because of its prestige and what it has to offer,” said Redzepovic. “I’m planning on majoring in economics, and it is tied with three other schools for the best economic programs in the entire nation. Political science and math are my passions.” Redzepovic noted he is taking three math classes this year. Outside of school, Redzepovic has worked in his family’s food business since the eighth grade. He has also played on the Pointers’ tennis team for three years, although he acknowledges “when I first started, I didn’t even know how to hold the racquet correctly.” Now a team co-captain, he credits coach Mark Truver with believing Redzepovic had potential. Both also took distinctly different paths to the Point Loma cluster of schools. Singer and his parents, Giron Singer and Christene Gage, have lived in Ocean

Beach since he was seven. “I started elementary school at Kate Sessions (elementary) in Pacific Beach,” Singer said, noting “my mom was a second-grade teacher there and we were living in La Jolla at the time. I stayed at Kate Sessions until fourth grade, but come fifth grade, Dana was only a few blocks away.” Singer has a sister (PLHS class of 2009) who is studying abroad in Spain as a student at UC Santa Barbara. Redzepovic’s parents are Arslan and Vahida. His story is far different. Redzepovic was born in Olm, Germany after his family left Sarajevo, Bosnia. Neither of his parents completed high school. Their route to San Diego took them through Louisville, Ky. “We had a store in Point Loma, and there was five of us living in an office above it,” he said. He entered Dewey Elementary School as a second-grader and continued through the cluster. He has an older sister (PLHS class of 2005) and a brother (PLHS class of 2007). Singer and Redzepovic met at sixthgraders at Dana, where they were in seminar classes together and became “friendly competitors.” Each estimated they spent three hours a night on homework throughout their high school years, with increasingly intense assignments. Asked to list memorable teachers, Singer mentioned Lisa Graham (chemistry) and Cynthia Hedges (his English teacher all four years). Redzepovic also named Hedges, Carl Luna (political science, whom he said helped shape his goals), and math teachers Ian Law (“a math guru”) and Brian Macky, who “both helped me all four years.” Redzepovic recited a family message he heard often as a child. “I was always told not to just try my best, but to be the best,” he said. It appears Redzepovic and Singer have done just that.
We’re hired by the event organizers [in this case, the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association], who solely pay for this added security maesure. We have the same number of officers present as we had last year [the inaugural OB Beach Ball Festival]. “Because this is a special service, compensation is the event organizers’ responsibility,” he said. “It does not come out of the taxpayers’ pockets. The organizer wants to ensure a safe event to the visitors, so it is up to them to employ extra security forces.”

bays and ocean with sewer discharges, spills and storm water runoff containing a variety of hazardous substances, from untreated sewage and heavy metals to pesticides and disease-causing bacteria. This pollution restricts our access to recreation, impacts our health, threatens our visitor industry and damages ocean and bay ecosystems. Lack of costly infrastructure has left the city incapable of complying with federal sewage discharge regulations set forth by the Clean Water Act. As San Diego’s next mayor, I will protect our water quality today and for future generations. My plan will ensure San Diego has the nation’s cleanest water and safest beaches. I will work with all stakeholders, including lifeguards, environmentalists, the visitor industry and beach users to make it a reality.
Should San Diego’s mayor and City Council take a more aggressive oversight role with respect to the city’s schools and the San Diego Unified School District? Why or why not? FLETCHER: Education is an issue that elected officials at every level of government should care about. It is an economic issue and a moral issue — countless CEOs have told me they can’t hire or expand due to a workforce that doesn’t have the skills for the jobs of today. I have said as mayor I will play a constructive role in helping our teachers and schools and also working with our employers to put in place job training programs so that our workforce has the skills for the jobs of today. I’m not going to do a takeover of the school district — I don’t think it is the right role for the mayor, and our kids can’t wait years for another divisive ballot initiative. I have two young children who will enter the San Diego public school system, so I have a special interest in this issue. I will bring together a group of leaders — business leaders, teachers, administrators, parents — and use the office of mayor as one that can make a positive difference in the lives of our children.
Do you support or oppose the movement for pension reform in San Diego city government? Why or why not? FLETCHER: It is no secret that San Diego’s pension system is broken. I support Comprehensive Pension Reform, or
Proposition B. Additionally, I released a CPR Plus plan that goes beyond the provisions in Prop B that I will begin to implement immediately after taking office. CPR Plus will save the city millions of dollars annually, end the six-figure pensions for unrepresented city management and ensure the management team in the Fletcher administration leads by example. Comprehensive Pension Reform is an important first step, but CPR Plus will go even further.
What endorsements do you hold (individuals, organizations, unions) and why does this support matter for your campaign message? FLETCHER: One of the best parts of my campaign is the coalition of people we have been able to bring together. People who are not focused on problems of the past, but who are united behind moving us forward support my candidacy. I have a demonstrated ability to work with anyone willing. The broad base of support my campaign has received, people from both sides of the political aisle or with no party affiliation at all, are backing me because they recognize my energy, commitment to doing the right thing to move us forward. Candidate’s statement (in their own words): FLETCHER: San Diegans should vote for me because I am an independent voice, willing to work with anyone committed to moving our city forward. My experience is one of my greatest assets. From serving in combat to the Assembly, I have demonstrated an ability to navigate difficult environments and make tough decisions. In the short time I have been in elected office, I have demonstrated an ability to bring people together to solve complicated problems. One of the best parts of my campaign is the coalition of people we have been able to bring together. People who are not focused on problems of the past, but who are united behind moving us forward support my candidacy. I believe it is possible to be principled without being polarizing — we can disagree without being divisive. That is how progress is made, and exactly how I plan to lead as mayor. I want to bring together people behind the goal of getting our city moving again.

which is why I authored Proposition B that fully reforms the city’s pension system and I expect will be overwhelmingly approved by San Diego voters on June 5. We need to address the pension and fiscal issues facing our city and restore the services that our citizens in the beach communities want and deserve.
Should San Diego’s mayor and City Council take a more aggressive oversight role with respect to the city’s schools and the San Diego Unified School District? Why or why not? DeMAIO: Education is a personal issue for me. Eduction saved my life when I was orphaned and the Jesuits took me in and gave me an education. My education reform plan focuses on three key steps. First, lead by example by implementing fiscal reform at City Hall, then help each school model their reforms after our success. This will allow us to move money from overhead and administration into the classroom where it belongs. Second, we must restore afterschool programs that have been cut in the last decade by the City. My plan

I would reform pensions and review our expenditures from top to bottom to get the most out of our tax dollars.
Should San Diego’s mayor and City Council take a more aggressive oversight role with respect to the city’s schools and the San Diego Unified School District? Why or why not? DUMANIS: Yes. I have proposed a bold new “Framework for America’s Finest City Schools” that reforms the school board, increases transparency, involves parents, and protects taxpayers. The plan consists of eight critical points, including an independent financial advisory board; steadfast opposition to new taxes; greater transparency in district management; and more parental involvement. The future of our schools is threatened by the possibility of financial insolvency, a lack of stability in top management positions, and a structure that puts too much distance between parents and decision-makers. Just as other leading cities in the U.S. have done, mayoral leadership is required to provide a vision for first-class schools in San Diego, transforming my vision into reality.

Do you support or oppose the movement for pension reform in San Diego city government? Why or why not? DeMAIO: As I mentioned earlier, reforming San Diego’s broken pension system is my top priority. Out-of-control pension costs have taken vital resources away from important community services. Library and recreation center hours have been slashed, not to mention road repairs. I am proud to be the author of Proposition B, the pension reform ballot measure. What endorsements do you hold (individuals, organizations, unions) and why does this support matter for your campaign message? DeMAIO: I am proud to have received the support from a diverse group of organizations that focus on protecting taxpayers and small busi-
ment for pension reform in San Diego city government? Why or why not? DUMANIS: I do support comprehensive pension reform. San Diego’s pensions have grown to the point where we simply can’t afford the system we have. Our long-term financial stability as a city depends on tackling this difficult problem. I believe we can still offer pensions the taxpayers can afford and that provide the type of financial stability that is important to retirees. As mayor, if pension reform is approved by the voters, I will work to implement a 401(k)-type plan that has an annuity option, so that every employee has the opportunity to have a secure retirement, especially those who risk their lives as firefighters. If it does not pass, I will still make pension reform a clear priority, including a freeze of San Diego city employees’ pensionable pay for five years. The important thing is that we have a mayor who has the proven ability to bring all sides to the table to get real pension reform, with real savings that’s really going to stick. I have that ability.
What endorsements do you hold (individuals, organizations, unions) and why does this support matter for your campaign message? DUMANIS: I have a broad cross-section of endorsements from every corner of San Diego, including former Do you support or oppose the move- Congresswoman Lynn Schenk, a

calls for major restorations in library and park and recreation programs for our kids. Finally, I will be a regional leader on the need for accountability and competition in each school district, by moving to “pay-for-performance” systems for teachers and allowing parents more choice and control over where they send their children to school.
Should San Diego’s mayor and City Council take a more aggressive oversight role with respect to the city’s schools and the San Diego Unified School District? Why or why not? FILNER: As mayor, I will be a tireless champion to make sure San Diego’s schools not only have the funding they need to give our kids the education they deserve, but build enthusiasm and support for all our children. For example, we must make sure that the benefits of any future redevelopment program in San Diego goes directly to
nesses including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the California Small Business Action Committee. Most importantly, I have received the endorsement from over 10,000 San Diegans who are ready for reform in San Diego.
Candidate’s statement (in their own words): DeMAIO: San Diegans should make their decision based on a candidate’s record of results, not campaign slogans. I stood with taxpayers in 2004 when I helped uncover the city’s fiscal crisis that the special interests wanted to keep quiet. I led the opposition to Prop D, the highest tax increase in the history of San Diego. I stood with taxpayers to author and qualify Proposition B, the pension reform ballot measure to the June ballot. I am the only candidate with a record of saving taxpayers over $155 million in reforms since taking office in 2008. I am the only candidate that has a record of standing with the taxpayers instead of the downtown insiders and government employee unions — and getting results!
Democrat, to Mayor Jerry Sanders and Council President Pro Tem Kevin Faulconer, Republicans. I am endorsed by every member of the county Board of Supervisors, Sheriff Bill Gore and a dozen law enforcement organizations. I stated publicly that I would not seek the endorsement of any labor organization with employees at the city early in my campaign, since the mayor plays an important role in negotiating contracts with those organizations. When I ran for judge, district attorney and now mayor, I ran on a platform of putting party politics aside and working with all groups for the good of our community. I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.
Candidate’s statement (in their own words): DUMANIS: My career as a clerk typist, judge and now district attorney has allowed me to work with hundreds of organizations and on behalf of thousands of San Diegans. I make tough decisions every day in the District Attorney’s Office and I’ll do the same as mayor. Holding people accountable, changing the culture at City Hall and bringing greater transparency. We need a mayor whose resume includes proven leadership skills in a large government organization, the ability to work with all the people of San Diego, and the perspective that comes from more than 30 years of service to San Diego.

ON CAMPUS Westminster Presbyterian Preschool programs Westminster is a preschool that started simply – just a mother (ex Kindergarten teacher) looking to educate her two-year-old – has matured into a local institution of sorts. “It brings joy to my heart,” said Judy Stephens, founder of the school. “I love what I’m doing and I’m very enthusias-
tic about education for children.” The school offers part and full time programs for ages 18 months to 6 years of age. Since Westminster opened, its approach has been to create a hands-on, fun experience that prepares children for kindergarten with science. language arts and math curriculums. For example, a recent lesson plan took students on an imaginary trip to Italy, complete with a plane, luggage, and even a mini-Pompeii
created in the school’s sandbox. The summer Programs feature bimonthly themes such as Kid Olympics or Underground Adventures. Also available is “Success in Kindergarten,” a class designed for children starting Kindergarten in the Fall. “We give the kids an ‘I Can Do’ attitude,” said Stephens. “They’re excited about school and the learning process.” This is the mindset that I want our kids to have.

Elite PLHS sailing team claims another national championship BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON The news finally came via text message: “We won, baby! PL has won two national championships!” Point Loma High School senior Kyle Sutter, still awaiting his luggage Monday night at Lindbergh Field, sent word of a down-to-the-wire performance by Pointer sailors over the weekend in the national team championships to win the Toby Baker Trophy for the fifth time. Sailing on the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass., Sutter reported the trophy was in doubt until the final race, one that saw a Pointer boat defeat Tabor Academy, a private prep sailing powerhouse from nearby Marion, Mass. The dramatic victory secured the cup for the Pointers, leaving 2011 champion Tabor as the runner-up. The Pointers, under head coach Steve Hunt, sent nine students to the event, with the capability of being configured as captain/crew for either light or heavy
winds. Event officials reported 8-10 knot winds prevailed during the event. First awarded in 1989, the Pointers previously won the Baker Trophy in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2010. Earlier this year, the Pointers won the Mallory Cup in Seattle as best prep sailing fleet in the U.S. Begun in 1930, the cup went to the Pointers in 1993, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Captains for the Pointer boats were Jake Reynolds, Olin Paine and Scott Sinks. For Reynolds, who is headed to the College of Charleston, and Paine, who will be attending Fordham University, the event marks the end of highly successful prep sailing careers. Other seniors besides Sutter are Matt Hecht and Grant Rickon. All are headed to college on sailing scholarships. “Our team has a lot of depth. We’re good all over,” said Sutter. “And I think [the returning Pointers next season] will do just fine in coming years.”

Pointer seniors reap round of 19 athletic scholarships BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON In a rousing ceremony held recently at Point Loma High School, 19 senior students were feted for athletic scholarships. Cheered on by peers, the student-athletes spoke to the assembled crowd about why they chose their school and many thanked teachers, parents and coaches. It seems every senior member of the Pointers’ nationally renowned sailing program received offers to hoist the canvas for various colleges and universities — most on the East Coast. With seven scholarship recipients, the boaters led the parade of honorees. Jake Reynolds and Kyle Sutter will come about at the College of Charleston (NCAA Div. I) in Charleston, S.C. Olin Paine will hoist his sails at Fordham University (NCAA Div. I), located in New York City. Matt Hecht will cast off from the docks at the University of Miami (NCAA Div. I), located in Coral Gables, Fla. The final two sailing team members elected to sail for University of California schools. Grant Rickon will race for UC Santa Barbara (NCAA Div. I) and Matt Morris will unfurl the colors of UC San Diego (NCAA Div. II). The boys’ baseball team, which finished with a 7-22 record, saw five players accept offers. Pitcher Connor Baits is a potential selection in the upcoming June draft. Meanwhile, he is slated to take the mound at the University of California, Santa Barbara (NCAA Div. I). Outfielder Ryan Ament and third baseman Brandon Keenan will swing the bat for Nyack College (NCAA Div. II) in Nyack, N.Y., the alma mater of Pointer head
coach Jesse Nunez. Second baseman Kap Davis will take grounders at St. Olaf College (NCAA Div. III) in Minnesota, while versatile Jackson Leslie will take his talents to California State University, Sonoma (NCAA Div. II). Close behind are four members of the perennially strong Pointers football team. Eric Bueno, who played on both sides of the ball, will strap on the helmet of Hampton University (NCAA Div. I Football Championship Subdivision) in Hampton, Va. University of San Diego is in the same NCAA division as Hampton, and local fans will be able to watch defensive standout Tevin Heyward harass opposing quarterbacks. Running back Morris Mathews is headed north to Atherton to score touchdowns at Menlo College (NAIA). Defensive back Aaron Watkins has chosen to cover opposing receivers at San Jose State University (NCAA Div. I). Softball player Katie McEachern will be swinging a mean bat at Dartmouth College (NCAA Div. I) in Hanover, N.H. Soccer player Marie Laube will be booting the ball into the nets of Kenyon College (NCAA Div. III), Ohio’s oldest private college located in Gambler. Erika Hanson will be displaying her soccer skills at Converse College (NCAA Div. II), a women's undergraduate school in Spartansburg, S.C. Volleyball player Elise Waelder has decided to serve and set at Wheaton College (NCAA Div. III), located in Wheaton, Ill. Finally, boys’ basketball player Kohl Meyer will be shooting jumpers at the University of Puget Sound (NCAA Div. III), in Tacoma, Wash.

Kecho’s Café a breath of fresh air in OB dining SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT BY MANNY LOPEZ | THE BEACON
Since its grand opening in early March, the neighborhood-friendly Kecho’s Café in the heart of Ocean Beach has generated quite a bit of positive buzz with its unique fusion of traditional and contemporary northern Mediterranean cuisine, along with a wide ranging, but reasonably priced wine menu and soothing-yet-casual ambiance. Inspired by the small-plate concept made popular throughout Spain and Europe, owner Chris Stavros has set out to make Kecho’s ground zero for the lessis-more approach to fine dining in San Diego. The restaurant is located at 1774 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. “This is not a new concept by any means, but the flavors and the food is new to the area,” said Stavros, who said his menu makes sense to those concerned with not just what they eat, but how much. “To be able to serve smaller portions with great taste and textures we thought would be a fun thing to do and the results have been overwhelming.” Known as “mezze” (pronounced “MEH-zay”) which translates to small dishes in Greek, the menu at Kecho’s features an international array of flavors and styles. Executive chef William McRae, who spent more than four months perfecting the menu prior to the restaurant’s opening, said that this way of eating gives diners an opportunity to enjoy a variety of offerings, which they can share among friends and head home with a much lower total on the credit card. “Our size gives us the opportunity to take the time to prepare everything just right, compared to larger restaurants where it’s harder to maintain quality,” McRae said. “Everything on the menu is packed with flavor, it has the right chemistry and nothing is overpowering.” For starters, Kecho’s offers a delicious selection of crisp fresh salads incorporating vegetables, fruits, cheeses and perfectly cooked pancetta, served with oneof-a-kind dressings that will satisfy vegetarians and meat lovers alike. Only one soup is served, but judging by its popularity it appears that one is enough. Kecho’s dishes up a cannellini bean soup made with sausage, carrots, onions, celery and herbs, which is hearty and robust, but will not spoil your appetite. Masterfully prepared flatbread pizzas with names like Salsiccia, Margherita, Plaka Pancetta, Picasso and Zeus, all covered in Mediterranean toppings, compliment any of Kecho’s other food creations. The mezze repertoire, consisting of meat, seafood and vegetarian options, includes such signature dishes as calamari stuffed with feta, mint and orange, prawns sautéed in an herb lemon and butter sauce, sea bass drizzled with a lemon herb dressing, and for lamb lovers, succulent lamb chops that are cooked to perfection. Vegetarian specialties like spanikopita, made with spinach, leeks, Greek feta cheese and dill baked in phyllo pastry as well as polenta with sautéed field mushrooms, served on pomodoro and topped with fontina crema are just some of the meatless options available. For dessert, pastry chef Stephanie Baron prepares a traditional Greek creation called galaktoboureko, which is made with vanilla custard baked in phyllo dough, then brushed with an orange glaze and served with pasticcio ice cream. Among her personal favorites served at Kecho’s is a delectable flourless chocolate cake topped with whipped cream that is truly unique. Fresh ice cream from Lighthouse Ice Cream & Yogurt in Ocean Beach perfectly rounds out the already scrumptious desert menu. Stavros said the beverage list is made up of carefully selected local craft beers

Discounts are offered to customers who purchase bottles from the Olive Tree Marketplace several doors down from the restaurant, which is also owned by Stavros. “This place is fabulous, I absolutely love it. This has quickly become my favorite place to eat,” said longtime Ocean Beach resident Bobbie Silverman.
“It’s perfect for OB and we’re very lucky to have this restaurant in the area.” Others agreed. “Simple and delicious,” said Leon Davis, who has made the Kecho’s his regular dining spot. “It’s unique to this area because OB has never seen anything like this before. They’ve done a great job at making it really comfortable and nice.” For more information, visit www.kechoscafe.com, or call (619) 225-9043. Kecho’s is open for dinner Tuesdays through Saturdays between 5 and 10 p.m.

MIND, BODY & SOUL Mobile Dental Hygiene Care The need for dental hygiene care can increase for the elderly for several reasons. One reason is that many medications have the side effect of causing xerostomia, or dry mouth syndrome. Dry mouth, or a decrease in saliva can be associated with an increase in dental decay. Saliva helps to cleanse the mouth, and it also replaces minerals in teeth which helps to make them
stronger. Older patients often have gum recession or “long in the tooth” which exposes the roots of the teeth, and the roots are not as strong as the enamel. Increased root caries often occurs, and a fluoride varnish applied after a dental cleaning will help to decrease dental decay. Many of the elderly see their dentist and their dental hygienist 2 , 3 or even 4 times a year until they become homebound, or begin living in a nursing care facility. Because of dementia, arthritis, macular degeneration, and other conditions dental hygiene becomes more difficult at a time when the need is increased. Studies contin-

ue to show a correlation between oral health and overall health. Mobile dental hygiene services can provide the continued oral hygiene for the homebound and those in nursing care facilities. Rose M. Hall, RDHAP #357 619-997-3895.
Quarterbacking Health Care
Older patients require a different coordinated approach to healthcare that balances their med-
ical needs along with the circumstances of their lives. A majority of older persons have at least one chronic disease that they manage. At the same time a very high number of these people also have difficulty performing basic and more advanced activities of daily living, which often complicates matters. If a doctor gives this person a prescription, it is unknown if the prescription will be filled, taken correctly if at all, which does not do any good for their disease process. The goals of someone who are functioning well in

their 80-90’s are most likely going to be different from the persons who are wheelchair bound or dependent on others for their care. Addressing these concerns realistically is the responsibility of a healthcare advocate. A comprehensive history which includes an assessment of medical and cognitive status, determining depression, anxiety and physical abilities, along with fall risks and a gait/balance evaluation and home safety needs help to determine the quality of life/well being of each individual. Achieving their goals can be difficult without knowing the reality of their situations at home. Many acute situations present differently in the elderly. For instance, an older person with an infection may not have a fever or an elevated white blood cell account. A patient who is cognitively impaired might seem lethargic when they may be experiencing a stroke or a heart attack. Geriatric care managers can assist the older population with quarterbacking their care in a coordinated way. They make sure that all aspects of the patient’s health and well being are being addressed.

Ask the Audiologist! Question: What do I do if I just don’t like my hearing aids? There are a lot of factors that go into a great hearing aid fit. 1. The hearing practitioner’s education background. 2. The manufacturer that designs the hearing aid. 3. The style of hearing aid you choose. Big? Small? In the ear? Behind the ear? 4. The level of technology that you choose. How sophisticated is the computer chip in your hearing device? 5. How many follow-up appointments have been completed. The hearing aid needs to be fine tuned to your lifestyle. 6. How fast your brain is adjusting to the new sound quality. Depending on how much change in sound quality the hearing aid is providing and how long the patient has compensated for their hearing loss, it may take one week to one year to adjust to the new sound quality.
With so many options, there is a lot of room for error. Because your hearing aids are most likely digital (there are very few analog hearing aids out there), start from scratch! If it has been longer than six months, return to your Audiologist and ask to be re-evaluated. Return to the basics. Having your hearing aids recalculated can make all the difference in the world. If you are still unhappy, get the advice from another Audiologist. Sometimes you have been on the wrong track from the beginning. The six factors listed above are all very important when it comes to hearing well!

ENJOY THE COLORS & BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN Daring, Delightful and Determined Women of Old Town The 9th annual Ladies Day in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park will celebrate the everyday life skills, creative past times, and daily work chores of women that lived in early San Diego from 1821 to 1872. This year’s event takes place on Saturday, June 2, from noon to 5 p.m. Don your favorite chapeau – historic, modern, or fanciful for the event. If you wear head wear that represents 1821-1872 you may participate in the historic hat contest for a small entry fee. "Ladies Day in Old Town will showcase activities that are fun and educational for both children and adults," said Deanna Turton, volunteer chair of the event. "It is our hope that people will walk away knowing what it was like to live in San Diego in the mid-1800s and appreciate how the founding families mastered the life skills needed to survive and make a home for their families." California State Park staff, volunteers, and spe-
cially invited volunteers will demonstrate the labors and leisure activities of Old Town's founding families -- 19th century games, crafts, hair styling, and dancing and much more. This year, the park will be “unveiling”new exhibits in the patio area of the Casa de Estudillo. They are part of a larger project to refurbish the exhibits throughout the adobe. The goal of these exhibits is to help visitors better understand the adobe and the reasons it was preserved. What visitors see today is a building that was restored by Hazel Waterman in the early 20th century. Scheduled activities include: • 11-1:30 A Children's Make and Take Hat Making Booth. Hats will be judged at 2pm • 1:00 Presentation by Dydia DeLyser, author of Ramona Memories. Book signing to follow in Casa de Estudillo
• 2:00 Judging of the Historic Hat Contest. Entry forms available at the Visitor Information Center • 1-4:00 Garden Tea in Casa de Estudillo. Cost $10.00 • Featured through out the day: • tours of the native plant garden given by members of the Native Plant Society • plant sale • historic photography exhibit • traditional soap making and period cooking BOOSTERS of OLD TOWN (BOOT) supports the event and other educational programs in the park. Free parking is available in the CALTRANS parking lot off Taylor Street, one block from the park. For more information call the Visitor Information Center at 619-220-5422 or visit the park website at www.parks.ca.gov/oldtownsandiego.
Free Living History Activities in Old Town State Park Old Town San Diego State Historic Park has more than 10 free museums open to the public year-round. These museums have ongoing living history activities every Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to educate the public about what life was like in San Diego in the 1800s. The park also hosts free tours daily at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. that begin at the Robinson-Rose Visitor Center. Every Saturday of the month, the park offers a different taste of historic trades and craft guilds for visitors. The first Saturday of every month, the park hosts the Print Guild and Tintype Guild. Visitors can have a firsthand experience of how printed word and photography was executed in the early days of California. On the second Saturday of each month, the park hosts Californio Day. Between 1821 and 1848, people who lived in Southern California were called Californios. The unique cultural heritage and activities of the Californios will be shared and celebrated with visitors. The third Saturday boasts presentations from the Quilt Guild, Fiber Arts Guild and the Mormon Battalion. Guest of the park will
learn about the traditional methods of quilting, spinning, weaving and other fiber arts techniques. Visitors will also learn about the famous military unit, the Mormon Battalion, and how the impact of their service changed the history of San Diego and California. On the fourth Saturday, the park hosts the Mountain Men and the Soap Makers Guild. Park visitors will learn about the historic mountain men and the discoveries they found as well as learn the art of soap making. In conjunction with the different events every Saturday, the park also showcases the Blacksmith Guild’s presentation every Wednesday and Saturday morning and the Quilt Guild every Wednesday afternoon. For more information about the guild schedules of the day and their location in the park, visit the board outside the Robinson-Rose Visitor Center. The Visitor Center and museums are open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. October through April and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May through September.
