Backbone of school support scrutinized
SPICIN’ UP THE SIZZLE OF SUMMER — OB STYLE
Foundations in SDUSD crosshairs BY ALYSSA RAMOS | THE BEACON
About ten parents representing foundation organizations from several San Diego city schools gathered Monday, June 15 outside a Scripps Ranch Starbucks to discuss concerns regarding an agenda item slated for a school board meeting the following day aimed at foundation-funded teachers. Parent-teacher organizations (PTOs) — including those in the Ocean Beach/Point Loma area — use school foundations to raise money to supplement shrinking school district allotments, in some cases writing checks directly funding programs such as choral, art, computers and libraries. But San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) board member John de Beck said the board voted during the June 16 meeting to form a committee focused on creating uniform standards and policies regarding teaching positions
formed as the result of school foundations’ money. De Beck said the issue was raised because school foundations have paid for many positions through the district. “As soon as they cross over, they run into the issue of unions,” de Beck said, regarding foundations choosing teachers, but paying them through the district. “There’s certain rules … Say that person leaves, then [the school foundation that hired them] has a problem because they gave us the money but we were the employers. That falls into the union contract.” Some school foundations – such as La Jolla’s Torrey Pines Elementary School (TPES) – use additional funds to hire support teachers in an effort to reduce class sizes, while other foundations such as the Friends of Pacific Beach Secondary Schools raise funds solely to pay for SEE FOUNDATIONS, Page 7
OB smoke shop among 4 raided in police paraphernalia crackdown BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON
Police raided four smoke shops in search of drug paraphernalia on June 18, including Freak Factory in Mission Beach and 420 Smoke Shop in Ocean Beach. The raids took place at about 12:30 p.m. in response to numerous citizen complaints and subsequent police investigation in which underage operatives purchased paraphernalia at the shops on June 4. “Our approach is when the community says there is a problem, we’ve always been a very responsive police department,” said San Diego Narcotics Capt. Miguel Rosario. “We’re going to respond when we get complaints that any type of crime is occurring.” Rosario said police seized items

This includes marijuana pipes, bongs, compartments used for hiding controlled substances, grinders used to separate seeds and stems from marijuana, detoxification drinks that assist in passing drug tests and materials for packaging and weighing drugs. “If it’s illegal we take it,” Rosario said. According to Rosario the raids were not initially scheduled for the same day – it just ended up that way. The four shops were specifically targeted after residents complained about them. “[Citizens] feel that when they sell paraphernalia it brings in SEE RAID, Page 7

projected 70,000 people will get a taste of Ocean Beach on Saturday, June 27 — and it might make some eyes water. The Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off Festival returns for its third decade from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. along the 4800-5000 blocks of Newport Avenue with a wealth of fun, food, music and family activities. “The special events you do around the holidays always help to define what the community is about,” said Denny Knox, executive director of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. “There are people that fall in love with Ocean Beach and they come back every year for the event.” This year marks the 30th anniversary of the summertime tradition in Ocean Beach. Despite the staggering economy, Knox said the street fair will not be a scaled-back version of previous years. “We have so many new vendors this year,” Knox said.

‘ScareSEAL’ plan eyed for Children’s Pool BY ALYSSA RAMOS | THE BEACON
Stellar citizenship Among the honors distributed to seniors graduating from Point Loma High School this month were Alan Barrios, left, and Alexa Da Rosa. The pair were COURTESY PHOTO named outstanding citizens of the class of 2009.
Attorney Paul Kennerson presented a plan to the court this month that would utilize a sprinkler system to disperse the Children’s Pool harbor seal colony in La Jolla. Superior Court Judge Yuri Hoffman gave the City of San Diego one more month to analyze Kennerson’s “scarecrow” plan. “[Scarecrow] is the trade name,” Kennerson said. “It’s tried and true… But the judge gave them further time. This has become a political battle versus a legal battle.” Hoffman gave the city another month, allowing the City Attorney’s Office to analyze Kennerson’s seal dispersal plan. Meanwhile, animal rights activists said another month leads the animals closer to pending legislation that, they said, would save the colony. “Kennerson proposed a scarecrow sprinkler system as an alternative [to the city’s barking dog plan],” Deputy City Attorney George Schaefer said. Schaeffer said he asked Hoffman for more time to analyze the many facets of Kennerson’s plan, which would shoot high-powered water onto moving targets at the Children’s Pool. “We had a meeting today in the mayor’s office and are carefully evaluating this alternative proposal,” Schaefer said. “There are a

number of costs associated with any seal dispersal plan; those costs are primarily because of law enforcement.” Kennerson said many forces began aligning against his fight to open La Jolla’s Children’s Pool. “There’s a lot of force gathering against the right thing, here. We’re fighting the city, the city attorney — and environmental groups should be on the side of the water. It’s a rather populated opposition,” Kennerson said. According to Schaefer, an attorney sent the city a letter regarding Kennerson’s scarecrow, alerting the city attorney to possible violations under the California Environmental Quality Act. “One of the things we alerted the judge to [was that] it will require a federal permit,” Schaefer said.
“Additional permits also may be necessary if the scarecrow is used, and the city is concerned about liability.” Kennerson’s scarecrow detects movement but doesn’t discriminate between seals and people, Schaefer said. And the city is evaluating several safety concerns such as whether it might spray a small child. “The court has found that the water is polluted from the seals… The city would have to shut the beach down,” Schaefer said. “We’re trying to fairly evaluate [the scarecrow plan]… it’s really opened up a can of worms.” “I’m tired [of the attitude] ‘if more people want this, then that’s the end of the question,’” Kennerson said. “The majority doesn’t make it [legally] right.”

Sunroad salvages cancelled SD Boat Show BY NICOLE SOURS LARSON | THE BEACON
When news broke recently that the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) was closing its San Diego office and canceling its 21-year-old winter boat show at the San Diego Convention Center, local boat dealers and small boating businesses were left high and dry. But this boating-friendly region, where the recreational marine industry contributes over $200 million annually to the economy, did not have to wait long for a replacement to emerge. Jim Behun, general manager of Sunroad Resort Marina located at the east end of Harbor Island, recently announced that Sunroad is organizing a new in-the-water boat show to be held at the marina’s docks with large exhibit tents in the adjacent parking lot to house marine electronics and accessories. Because the show no longer depends on the convention center’s scheduling issues, Sunroad has moved away from the event’s previous timing right after New Year’s. The 2010 show, called the San Diego Boat Show at Sunroad Marina, will be held between Jan. 28 to 31 on a weekend free of professional football playoffs that impact attendance. Boat dealers, manufacturers and local vendors are excited about the more favorable dates, Behun said. Most major past exhibitors have already committed to participate. The San Diego Unified Port District has also signed on as a show sponsor. Involved with the San Diego Boat Show since its inception, Behun previously ran the in-the-water show at the Marriott Marina and produced boat shows all over the world. As a former captain and yacht broker, he understands the value of the boat show to the local industry as well as the potential “rolling impact” damaging the boating community if the show were to disappear. “The average dealer or broker makes 60 percent of his income off the boat show,” Behun said, stimulated by direct sales and from leads

generated through boat-show encounters. The recession-battered San Diego boating world didn’t need yet another blow like the show’s cancellation, Behun said. He pitched the idea of staging a new boat show to Sunroad’s receptive corporate management, which sought new ways to showcase the marina. Behun was able to line up many of the previous participants and sponsors for the revived show, and Sunroad is eager to broaden the show’s appeal. He said Sunroad welcomes exhibitors with wares enhancing the boating lifestyle. Already scheduled are weekend cooking demonstrations by Deborah Scott, owner/chef of the nearby Island Prime restaurant. New educational seminars include sessions on children’s and pets’ boating safety. One exhibit section will focus on “green” boating products, services and equipment. Under discussion is a nautical art show, showcasing local and regional working artists. Vendors whom Behun hopes to attract include interior designers, jewelers, clothing and other boating suppliers.

Prior to announcing the boat show cancellation, NMMA did not inform the convention center, which lost a $100,000 booking.

NEWS SDCNG names John Dowd head of sales, marketing
Sympathy for slain Iranian protester International sympathy for the plight of Iranians protesting the results of their national election extended as far as Point Loma this week. This sign, captured along Catalina Boulevard, is an obvious tribute to 26-year-old Neda Soltan, an Iranian protester whose apparent murder at the hands of Iranian soldiers was captured in graphic videos and spread across the Internet. Soltan is becoming a worldwide symbol of protest against the current Iranian administration and PHOTO COURTESY MIKE RYAN has been dubbed Iran’s “Angel of Freedom” as a result of her quest to fight injustice.
The San Diego Community Newspaper Group has announced it has named John M. Dowd to the newly created position of director of sales and marketing. Dowd will oversee the San Diego Community Newspaper Group sales and marketing initiatives in its five regular publications, visitor guides and websites. “The changes in the newspaper landscape are presenting an opportunity for our community newspapers. Readers and advertisers have a newfound appreciation for both editorial and advertising content that is relevant to and has value for people who live and work in our neighborhoods,” said Julie Hoisington, publisher of the San Diego Community Newspaper Group. “John has a tremendous amount of experience working with businesses in promoting their brands and helping them sell products and services by using advertising. “We have created this position with the intent to aggressively grow our business base in some of the most affluent communities in the country.”
Dowd said, “I am delighted to join the San Diego Community Newspaper Group at a time when the pendulum of readership and advertisers are migrating back to local content. The Internet has made it easy to get news from around the world from multiple sources. What is difficult to find is news about your neighborhood. From a marketing standpoint, people want to know where the best places to eat are and how to find value when you spend your money. We want someone to pick up our papers and find great deals in our ads for things like dry cleaning, automotive services, tires, pharmacy products, groceries, furniture — things we all use and would love to save some money on. “I firmly believe that advertising is content. Our job as an information resource is to provide a lot of advertising content so our readers get recent and relevant information where the best values are.” “We have some of the best markets in the country and the means for our advertisers to reach these very valuable resident consumers,” he added. Dowd received his bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and started his career in advertising and marketing as business manager of The Cornell Daily Sun. Most recently, from 2001 until 2008, Dowd was the director of marketing for Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu. Previously, while in San Diego, Dowd held sales marketing management positions with 24/7 Media as the Internet advertising director for KNSD and KNBC television stations. In 1997, Dowd worked for Microsoft managing the advertising sales and marketing efforts for Microsoft’s sidewalk.com. He spent 11 years working for the then-Disney/ABC-owned publication The PennySaver, where he was a director of marketing for California, sales manager and account executive.

Dowd also did advertising sales for The Staten Island Advance, the first Newhouse newspaper. Dowd is a former president and chairman of the board of the San Diego Ad Club and has served on the board of directors of the La Jolla YMCA and the San Diego Advertising Golf Association and served the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Ocean Beach Recreation Center leaves little idle time for little hands BY KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI | THE BEACON
With school out for the summer, parents needn’t search far for activities and programs to keep their children occupied. Ocean Beach Recreation Center’s (OBRC) Summer Day Camp for children ages 6 to 12 is already in full swing.

San Diego Police Department spokesperson Mónica Muñoz said an undisclosed amount of money was taken during the incident. No injuries were reported. According to police officials, the robbery occurred around 11 p.m. when a man wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt walked into the store and purchased a bag of chips. Police said that after the man left the store, he returned and showed a handgun to the clerk, asking the employee to open the cash register. The suspect allegedly took cash and fled in a gray Jeep Loredo, heading westbound on Barnett Avenue. Police reports describe the suspect as five feet nine inches tall, Hispanic and in his 20s, with brown eyes and a short haircut.
Lobster poacher given 4-month sentence Jason Bryan Chavez pleaded guilty June 11 to poaching undersize lobsters in the ocean off South Mission Beach. He was ordered to serve 120 days in custody and placed on probation. According to the City Attorney’s Office, police arrested Chavez around 4:30 a.m. on May 18. A police officer noticed Chavez taking an empty backpack to the ocean and returning to the car with it full. Upon searching Chavez’s car, police discovered 46 lobsters. The lobsters were confiscated and returned to the ocean. Chavez had parked in the parking lot and poached the lobsters with a pole and a net, according to Gina Coburn, spokesperson for the City Attorney’s Office. Chavez’s conviction included five charges: fishing without a license, taking spiny lobsters by unlawful means, possession of an undersize lobster, possession of an overlimit of lobsters and possession of spiny lobsters out of open season. Since 1997, Chavez has had a total of six fish and game violations – past offenses include illegal means of taking fish and overfishing clams and ghost shrimp. Citizens can report a poacher

Spending according to your priorities
Freedom’s precious gift must be cherished
By MAYOR JERRY SANDERS This next Fourth of July weekend, as San Diegans enjoy time with family and friends at the city’s parks and beaches, they almost certainly won’t be thinking about the city budget. They won’t be thinking about the people who trim the grass they’re picnicking on or those who empty the trash cans along the beach. They won’t be thinking about the street-repair crew that filled an annoying pothole or the police patrolling their neighborhood, keeping it safe. But they will be enjoying the benefit of these and many other city services for which funding levels were maintained in our new budget that will take effect next week. Despite the enormous difficulties that San Diego and most other local and state governments face in this economic downturn, the city of San Diego begins its new fiscal year on July 1 with a budget that is not only balanced but that protects hours of service at libraries and parks, maintains police and fire staffing levels and also continues the important fiscal reforms that have restored the stability and good name of our city. I am particularly proud of this budget because it was achieved by working together with the City Council, city employees and the community to determine the priorities of the taxpayers and make tough decisions to close an $83 million shortfall. This deficit — caused by the recession’s downward pull on tax revenues — was addressed mostly through cutting the compensation of nearly all the city’s 10,500 employees by 6 percent. This sacrifice by each of them will save the city $41 million this year and bring taxpayers millions of dollars in long-term savings in retirement costs.
The public played an important role in forming this year’s budget. City Councilmember Tony Young, the Budget and Finance Committee chair, held community meetings at the outset of the budget-development process to let us hear from the public as we crafted our spending plan. What I heard over and over from the citizens was that they did not want to see cuts to library hours, park services and public safety. They don’t want their roads to deteriorate. This year’s budget is a reflection of those priorities. As of right now, however, this hard work is imperiled by decisions that soon may be made in Sacramento, where lawmakers are making plans to raid local government funds to plug a gaping hole in the state budget. Their plan is to steal up to $24 million of San Diego’s gasoline taxes, which make up a large portion of our budget for street maintenance. We cannot completely abandon road maintenance; crumbling streets damage vehicles and cause accidents. This means the city would have to reopen our budget and possibly make severe cuts. I’ve made several visits to Sacramento to meet with the governor and legislative leadership to let them know we will do everything in our power to avert that outcome. The city has been streamlining operations since the day I took office, and because we’re much more efficient, we were able to maintain services during these extremely difficult economic times. The state should have been doing the same. For now, San Diegans can take pride in this moment, knowing that they have been a part of our progress on reform and restoring pride to our city. Happy Fourth of July!

We Americans are getting ready to celebrate July 4th, the 233rd birthday of our country, Independence Day. The French feature their Bastille Day of freedom on July 14. Is there more concern with who’s bringing the hot dogs and baguettes to the July 4th picnic than with what liberty really means? Is there more concern with a postage stamp-size place at La Jolla Shores or Mission Bay, where folks battle for blanket space, than how our forefathers and foremothers began the struggle for freedom in 1776? “Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better,” French writer Albert Camus said. With the green revolution in Iran’s capital city of Tehran snowballing since the June 12 election allegedly “stolen” from Mir Hussein Moussavi, the moderate reform candidate, it is a reminder to us Americans that the hunger for real freedom lives on in the 21st-century sights and sounds on Facebook, Twitter, My Space and YouTube videos and photos. Guns and tear gas, clubs and water cannon can’t keep the freedom-loving masses from pouring into the streets of Tehran. “Freedom is never voluntarily
given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed,” according to Martin Luther King. The courageous Iranian citizens have been nonstop in challenging Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with shouts of “Death to the dictator” and “God is great.” The desire for freedom is like a small stream gathering steam and size as it races to the ocean. Think back to the oppressive King George III in England and Louis XVI in France and how the power of the people prevailed. Thirty years ago, the United States severed ties with Iran when the Shah was overthrown in 1979 and the establishment of an Islamic republic became law. Today the world is far different with the onset of technology. Sneeze in Tehran and you hear a “God bless you” in San Diego and Paris. Stand up for freedom in Tehran and Americans, French and the rest of the free world stand up for you, or do we? This year on July 4th we are free to move about. We are free. We can go to the beach. We are free. We can go to the fair. We are free. We can stay home and join our neighbors at private or community celebrations. We are free. Out of respect to those who don’t
Latest Rosecrans corridor study a waste of time Do Point Loma residents need another mobility study of the Rosecrans corridor by the same group of people, including the city? According to an article in the Peninsula Beacon dated Sept. 6, 2007, a traffic study was to be conducted that fall. Senior city traffic engineer L. Qasem stated, “The city will study traffic along the Rosecrans corridor to improve the traffic flow.” Obviously, based on current traffic conditions, it did not. Once again we will have a traffic study with no specific goals, just an expensive exercise in futility for nine months. A professional INDEPENDENT traffic study is needed to supply the recommendations on improvements. Let us take a look at the record of the Rosecrans Corridor Mobility Study Group’s chairperson, Gary Halbert. As the former planning director of Land Management, Development and Planning Services for the city of San Diego; deputy city manager of Santee and presently as a board member of the Peninsula Community Planning Board, Mr. Halbert’s record on resident’s interests, quality of life, traffic congestion
and environment has been dismal. In Santee for instance, he is partly responsible for “Mount Trashmore,” San Diego’s toxic and degrading Sycamore landfill that the residents of Santee have endured for years. In his positions with the cities of San Diego, Santee and on the Peninsula, he has ignored major issues on traffic, noise and environment. Since his election to the Peninsula Community Planning Board, he has continually voted in favor of development projects that contribute to traffic congestion/gridlock that effects the quality of life and environment in the Rosecrans St.-Point Loma area — for example, Liberty Station businesses and Rock Church, B.U.D.G. trucking Navy project, the airport, etcetera. Point Loma residents need officials in these positions who are concerned about traffic congestion, air pollution, safety and upgrading the infrastructure, rather than one that caters to the development industry as Mr. Halbert’s past and present voting record indicates. Additionally, why are representatives of the Navy, schools, Rock Church and businesses that account for 75 percent of the traffic on Rosecrans Street NOT included in the Rosecrans Corridor Mobility Study

have this precious gift handed down from one generation to the next by birthright from those men and women who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, this year we Americans may want to pause and thank all who have gone before in the name of freedom and all who serve in the military today. In awe of this generation of freedom-loving Iranian folks who demand liberty, equality and fraternity as the French did in 1789, let’s talk with our children and grandchildren about the gift of freedom. After 233 years, a similar revolution in Iran is boiling up, running over and won’t be stopped, hopefully. The American Revolution, the French Revolution and all other revolutions have come at great expense, as does the Iranian green revolution: lost lives, dashed hopes and brutal responses. Young people in Tehran are proving the Declaration of Independence is a living message, even in their world of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Obama’s elevated ego shines through brightly As I listened to President Obama’s news special, I felt his charisma. Mr. Obama is an excellent orator. However, as I listened to the questions and answers, I felt it fade away. I am sure he means well, and will do the best he is capable of. However, it was not enough to reassure me as to the state of the nation he is head of. His elevated ego shines through the broadcast and, I fear, for the nation as a whole. Ada M. Powers Point Loma

after-school music clubs and programs. During the special June 16 SDUSD board meeting that included taking “direction” on foundation-funded teachers, board members voted to form a committee scrutinizing policies regarding hiring teachers through foundationraised funding. Members formed a committee that includes representatives from the board, teachers union and foundations, as well as the SDUSD board’s attorneys, aimed at changing or forming policies regarding school foundations and PTO funding additional staff. De Beck said the board intended to set up a policy allowing “funding

its 10th year raising money to fund extra teaching positions in areas such as art, science and music, in addition to buying computers for students, said La Jolla Elementary School PTO President Fran Shimp. “They [SDUSD school board] should help start parent funds for positions at other schools instead of taking away from our kids,” Shimp said. Coleman said the TPES foundation — which held its annual gala June 5 — raises money to fund art, science and music teaching positions in addition to providing parttime teaching positions, which reduce class sizes. But other schools said board members may be cracking down on unfair practices. “I have a really hard time with this because I see it from both points of view,” said Kerry Upp, for-
mer treasurer for Friends of PB Secondary Schools. “La Jolla has all these foundations and are paying for lowered class sizes, and is that fair? Well, I don’t know.” Several parents representing groups from San Diego area schools, including Jerabek, Tierrasanta, Kumeyaay, Marshall Middle and Miramar Ranch said their parent foundations raised money in an effort to fund myriad teaching and supplemental positions. “The goal should be don’t take away parent groups’ money but to teach other schools how to raise funds,” said Jerabek Elementary School parent representative Donna Cleary. “If the position is unique and not a district job … then the position should be able to be funded on a one-time basis with a special agreement,” de Beck said. “The
current process is for the district to accept the money and then the employee becomes a regular district employee … .” De Beck said current foundationpaid employees are given transfer, tenure and “other union rights.” “I think we need to negotiate this,” de Beck added. The district has had cases where the foundation pays for a teacher and then the job ends but the teacher has tenure “so we have to keep paying,” de Beck said. “One of the simplest solutions is for the foundations to say, ‘We have become the employer,’” de Beck said, adding that the committee would create solutions. “The second is for the jobs to be [called] a temporary foundation-supported teacher.” For more information, visit www.sandi.net.

support for regular district positions that include all the benefits and rights of certificated positions — except tenure and transfer portions — when the source of funds are not regular district monies.” “There is no written policy anywhere on how foundations/PTOs are supposed to pay for the staff that they fund,” said Missy Coleman, president of the TPES Foundation. “This item came to the board’s attention in a budget meeting last week and was put on the agenda to address this.” In the midst of budget cuts, parents at many local schools created fundraising events in an effort to replace slashed programs and fill positions — from librarians and nurses to science, art and other instructors.

Does Your Pet Need Gentle Dental Care? As pet owners become more sophisticated, many know that good dental hygiene is a necessary part of overall pet health. Regular teeth-brushing at the groomers is a great place to start. But having a professional’s help is also a great idea! Many pets do not fare well under general anesthesia. Anesthesia-free teeth cleaning clinics are gaining popularity in grooming shops, and even among the veterinarian community! Victoria, our pet dental technician, cradles your pet gently in her lap, and thoroughly cleans the visible part of each tooth, taking care not to go deep under the gum line. If a trip to the vet is recommended, the pet owner is notified. Preferred By Pets offers teeth-brushing as a grooming option daily, and our anesthesia-free clinic is held on the first Monday monthly. If you have questions, or would like to schedule a free consultation with Victoria, call us today at 619-223-9023. ADVERTORIAL
“The Honest Kitchen’s top 10 contest in San Diego is a wonderful example of how businesses can embrace welcoming pups into their offices for a day, and at the same time come together with their local communities to promote healthy pet adoption,” said Beth Stultz, marketing specialist for PSI. “Today’s tough economy has made the need for pet adoptions more urgent than ever, it is our hope that Pet Sitters International’s Take Your Dog to Work Day will help inspire potential pet parents to get out and rescue a furry friend.” To enter the top 10 contest, The Honest Kitchen is asking all San Diego companies who plan to participate in TYDTWD to send a short submission (no more than 500 words) about why their company is “top dog” when it comes to four-legged office mates – the more unique or compelling the story, the better! Letters can be emailed to info@thehonestkitchen.com and should include the company name, a brief explanation on how it plans to celebrate TYDTWD or what furry coworkers help add to the office

Shades Oceanfront Bistro will be sold for $1 a bowl, with proceeds going towards the fireworks show. “The chili cook-off is going to be fantastic this year,” Knox said. “We have a huge waiting list of people who wanted to cook chili and we just didn’t have enough room.” To help quench the fire from all that spice, the street fair will feature a beer garden by the main stage near the Ocean Beach Pier and a second at the corner of Cable Street and Newport Avenue. In celebration of the street fair’s pearl anniversary, the musical entertainment will boast a local flavor. Thirty-six bands will be scattered across five stages throughout the day — the main stage, 92107 stage, artists alley stage, Bacon Street sun stage and The Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off Festival is now entering its 30th wonderland acoustic stage. year of promoting community spirit and pride.

“All of our bands are OB-based bands this year because it’s our 30th,” Knox said. The main stage will feature Troubleweeds, Hip Replacements, Love N Groove, Deadline Friday, 40 oz. to Freedom, Superunloader and Agua Dulce. Live music can be heard all day throughout the fair. For a complete list of bands, see page 12 of this special pull-out section of The Peninsula Beacon. A complete list of vendors appears on page 15. Adding to the traditional excitement is Artists Alley, located on Cable Street, featuring a total of 45 artists. According to Artists Alley committee chair Faren Shear, about half the artists did not participate in last year’s festival. “People can meet artists at the street fair and become longtime customers by following them on the Internet,” Shear said. “For artists, the street fair is a jumping-off point.” One collection that will be in the alley is “Junk and Po,” by
Krissy Fernandez. Among her collection are small ceramic cupcake charms. “She does charms out of polymer clay and all kinds of threedimensional art,” Shear said. “She’s really talented.” The street fair isn’t just for adults, however. A wonderland area on the 4800 block of Newport Avenue will feature rides, games and pony rides for children weighing up to 100 pounds. Other highlights at the street fair include a skateboarding exhibition presented on Cable Street by the OB Surf and Skate Shop and a carnival for teenagers and adults. The 30th anniversary of the street fair will also be celebrated at the Ocean Beach Fourth of July fireworks celebration. Money raised from the street fair’s raffle will go toward making the fireworks show possible, with any surplus funding going to other Ocean Beach MainStreet Association projects throughout the year.

“We’re going to have something special with the fireworks on July 4, due to us raising the money during the street fair,” Knox said. “There will be a special little display.” As is the case every year, parking will be at a premium the day of the event. As a result, Knox encourages those coming from outside Ocean Beach to use the shuttle sites put in place especially for the street fair. Parking is available both at Thee Bungalow, 4996 W. Point Loma Blvd. in Ocean Beach, and a little further out at the Sun Runner lot on SeaWorld Drive at Pacific Highway from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Free shuttles will run every half-hour on the half-hour from Robb Field and every hour on the hour from Sea World Drive.

SPOTLIGHTONSENIORS The Older Marriage By NATASHA JOSEFOWITZ, Ph.D. There are many advice columns for the newly married, for coping with a first child, for dealing with family and career, but I have not seen much written about the older marriage. Over the age of 65, almost twice as many men are married than women. This says something about our demography and the availability of potential partners. As a man grows older, his available pool of females grows larger; but as a woman grows older, her available pool of male partners grows smaller. There are two kinds of marriages in our golden years: the couples that have lasted through youth and middle age and are now growing old together, and the couples who are in a second, third or even fourth relationship and are now dealing with extended family problems. Only 20 percent of first marriages make it to the
golden years, yet being married is good for people’s health. There is less drinking, less smoking, better nutrition and a wider circle of friends. Some long-term marriages are happy as adjustments have been made to a different lifestyle and new life circumstances. Some long-term marriages are unhappy, but partners have stuck it out for a variety of reasons: from apathy to the unwillingness to break up the family, from religious reasons to disengagement that permits individual pursuits. The important thing is to confront how different an older marriage has become from an earlier time. Are the cultural, ethnic or religious factors that may have been swept under the rug making a reappearance? New contracts may have to be discussed. What expectations does each have of the other — of the marriage itself? Is
each person equally committed to the relationship? How is caring expressed? As is often the case, she tells him she loves him, but he doesn’t say it; instead he shows it. Do the partners validate each other? After so many years, there may be a tendency to take each other for granted. It is still important to say, “You look handsome tonight,” “you were the life of the party,” “I always have so much fun with you,” “I’m always so proud of you,” et cetera. Compliments still have to be reiterated even after 50 years of marriage. No matter what means of communication the older couple has been using to resolve conflicts, new situations are bound to arise that need new ways of coping. The larger issue, of course, is retirement. A couple that had a life outside of marriage is now thrown together, sometimes 24 hours a day. This will necessitate a major readjustment of daily activities, especially as people grow older and may be more set in their ways. Yes, older people have a tendency to become more rigid, relying on the familiarity of the known. It is easier to do things the way they were
always done and difficult to learn new ways. Older people resist change even more than others, and with the new technology coming at us rapidly, it is easy to see how an older person could become befuddled. Inevitable losses will occur, such as impaired health, mobility and problems with hearing or sight. Life transitions could include new living arrangements. Friends and relatives can become ill and some will die. New methods of collaboration with family and doctors need to be instituted. The worst of all is mental impairment of one of the spouses. Becoming a caretaker of a spouse increases stress. One of the issues to be dealt with is whether to stay in the old house or move to a retirement home. A house with stairs may become a problem. Transportation may be difficult if poor eyesight or slower coordination makes it necessary to stop driving. Retirement communities are a solution for many couples as it frees both partners up to spend more time together as they renegotiate priorities, responsibilities and

routines. Yet, these may be the best years ever, with time for each other, for leisure pursuits postponed during the work years, for renewed friendships, travel opportunities, joy in grandchildren and, best of all, no pressure — no job demands. This is a time when one can indulge in the pursuit of fun and pleasure. The best predictors of this happening are good enough health and financial security. So eat right, exercise and save so you will reap the rewards of that golden age.
Keeping Your Older Parents Healthy & Happy If you are still lucky enough to have one or both parents still living, you may have noticed a role reversal taking place. It’s natural to feel challenged — and, yes, intimidated — in the role that has now been given you. And that’s where the geriatric care manager can help. Stay positive and proactive but let the RN’s at Innovative Healthcare help you provide your parent’s with optimal care. For the next few months we will give you recommendations that will help you understand what may be happening to your parents as they age — and what you can do to help. Stay vigilant to sudden changes. Typically, sudden changes arise from sudden problems. Your elderly father who becomes confused one week but was alert and oriented the week before, or becomes unsteady walking and starts falling, is likely experiencing an acute problem — an infection, medication side effect, or perhaps, a heart attach or stroke. Our RN’s pay attention to your parent’s baseline health and behavior, so they are alert to sudden, and subtle, fluctuations. By informing his physician of these changes, they ensure that he receives a proper diagnosis and timely treatment — especially in acute conditions. Call the geriatric specialists at Innovative Healthcare Consultants today toll free at (877) 731-1442 or visit our website at innovativehc. com. We have nurses to help throughout San Diego and southern Riverside Counties.
