City launches $5.5M pipe revamp project BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON

The city has embarked on an ambitious and lengthy $5.5 million water and sewer Main Replacement project in Point Loma. Officially called the Famosa Accelerated Water and Sewer Main Replacement, the project has an estimated completion date of September 2010. “Once the project is completed,” said city public information officer assistant Rebecca Pond, “the community will experience improved

Beating the heat as the mercury climbs With summer hitting full stride, residents sought out various means of relief from the heat over the weekend.

The “American Idols Live! Tour 2009” explodes on to the stage at the San Diego Sports Arena on Saturday, July 18 at 7 p.m. The Season 8 top 10 finalists — Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Anoop Desai, Danny Gokey, Kris Allen, Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud, Megan Joy, Michael Sarver and Scott MacIntyre —are poised to deliver non-stop, fan-pleasing performances unlike any other Idols tour. “Every year the show is rein-

vented,” said tour producer/director Raj Kapoor. “We always try and put a fresh spin on the show, keeping up with staging trends and updated video and lighting technologies. “This year’s show incorporates bigger video screens than ever before,” he said. “And we have made the lighting and video elements feel very cohesive in the show design.” Kapoor, who has worked on such productions as the Grammy Awards, “Dancing with the Stars” tour and several world tours for

the Dixie Chicks, Josh Groban and Britney Spears to name a few, said this year’s “Idol” tour is more contemporary than in past years and focuses on “musicality” and the individual artists. “We have given each of the Idols their own video content that help reflect their individual personalities,” Kapoor said. “This year’s show is essentially 10 miniconcerts all rolled into one, with the bonus of a couple bigger group production numbers.” He called this year’s top 10 finalists extraordinary.

Locals struggle to solve mystery of OB man’s unconscious state BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON

At the conclusion of the Fourth of July fireworks celebration at the Ocean Beach Pier, something happened that led OB resident Chris Bowd to be knocked unconscious. Bowd remains in a medically induced coma, according to reports, and friends and family are struggling for answers. The case has left many baffled and, to some degree, brings into focus the issue of safety in Ocean Beach during the Fourth of July holiday. A post on the OB Rag blog by Frank Gormlie on July 8 first

Free concert series welcomes summer BY PATRICIA M. WALSH | THE BEACON

Bennington tribute set On July 21, 1905, 47 of 65 young sailors killed in the USS Bennington explosion on San Diego Bay were buried beneath a monument at what is now Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. The disaster was the worst in San Diego naval history, as the city had no naval hospital at the time and had to rely on makeshift facilities. The San Diego chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution will host a memorial service for the victims at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 18 at the cemetery. The 60-foot-tall granite monument in Fort Rosecrans was modeled after the monument in Bennington, Vt., which, in turn, honors the fallen of the Battle of Bennington, Vt., in the Revolutionary War. There is an informational exhibit at the San Diego Maritime Museum; the Midway Museum is located near the site of the explosion. For more information about the memorial service, call (619) 448-8858.

The ninth annual Point Loma Summer Concert Series will open its fivepart musicfest Friday, July 17 at 6 p.m. For resident Lynne Krepack, that means summer has officially arrived and it’s officially the weekend. “When it comes to Friday nights in the summer I just can’t wait to start my weekend at the concert with a pizza from The Venetian (restaurant),” Krepack said. “I work all day and don’t have time to cook, so we pick up a pizza from Joey (Giacalone) on our way to the concert.” She and husband Brian Boswell and their teenage son, Taylor, have been attending the free concerts since the series’ inception in 2001. Like past years, the event is in the same location, Point Loma Park, 1049 Catalina Blvd., near the intersection with Varona Street. Each installment starts and ends at the same time — 6 to 8 p.m. — and is welcoming with many familiar faces. “We’re anxious to get together with friends and see people we haven’t seen in a while,” Krepack said. “We see people our son went to preschool with, and people Brian plays poker with. We even see our dentist.” David P. De Rosier, DDS is one of the many sponsors of the concert series. New to this year’s event are three bands and a weekly raffle to support concert operations. Tickets will be sold by volunteers for $1 each or six tickets for $5. Donated prizes are music related: The Guitar Hero Band Edition, First Act Percussion Pack and a PL Summer Concerts stadium blanket. Winners will be drawn at intermission. The music lineup includes the familiar sounds of San Diego’s queen of boogie, Sue Palmer, as well as the Soul Persuaders. Newcomers are Atomic Groove, Jumping Jack Flash and Hot August Night. Atomic Groove, a variety dance band, kicks things off this Friday. On July 24, Jumping Jack Flash brings its re-creation of the Rolling Stones to the stage. Sue Palmer and her Motel Swing Orchestra serenade July 31.

The Point Loma Summer Concert Series runs from July 17 through Aug. 14.

Neil Diamond fans will want to join the fun Aug. 7 when Dean Colley of Hot August Night does his tribute to the songwriter who penned “Sweet Caroline.” The Soul Persuaders wrap up the summer concerts Aug. 14 with top hits of Motown, soul and R&B. For many, the food and celebration are as important as the music. “We pack up chairs and blankets,” Krepack said. “I’ve even brought a table cloth and flowers for a centerpiece. Just like the comforts of home, only better.” For concertgoers who aren’t a member of the picnic basket club, five local restaurants offer meals specifically for the event. Miguel’s Cocina, Shades, Stump’s Family Marketplace, Solare Ristorante and The Venetian offer concert meals. Participants may call ahead and pick up their picnic on the way to the park. Or they can stop by when the music ends at 8 p.m. for an après concert nosh. Organized concertgoers can even plan a week in advance, pre-order a box supper from C.J.’s catering and pick up their meal the night of the concert. During the concert, snacks and sodas are sold by the Peninsula Lions Club. Presented by Willis-Allen Real Estate of Point Loma and Ocean Beach, the concert series is played in the key of community, with widereaching support from individuals, businesses, foundations and government. Major funding is provided by the city of San Diego Commission for

Arts and Culture and San Diego County’s Community Enhancement Program at the recommendation of Greg Cox. Other sponsors include the Point Loma Community Bank, Dick & Dorothea Laub and the Pacific View Foundation. Individual sponsors are David P. De Rosier, DDS, Point Loma Nazarene University, Wear Community Fund with the Ryan Peninsula YMCA, Frontier Trading, Inc., Wendy Gillespie in support of Junior Achievement in San Diego, Ellen James in support of San Diego Center for Children, San Diego County Credit Union, Warren-Walker School, Stump’s Family Marketplace and United Portuguese SES, Inc. Raffle sponsors are the Recreational Music Center - David and Leslie Gereghty, MADCAPS (Mothers and Daughters Club Assisting Philanthropies) and the city of San Diego allocated by District 2 City Councilmember Kevin Faulconer. Dogs are welcome at the concert series but must be on a leash. There is no smoking, alcohol, glass containers or barbecues allowed at the events. Event organizers encourage concertgoers to leave bikes, skateboards, skates, Frisbees and sports balls at home. There is free parking and free shuttle service is provided from Silver Gate Elementary School. Parking is also available on neighborhood streets. For more information, visit www.plconcerts.org.

Internet a valuable tool to ferret out facts By GEOFF PAGE Last week’s Beacon contained an editorial opinion piece promoting the new City Hall proposal still being pursued despite the city’s finances. Inside the piece were descriptions of the current city spaces stating that “The existing buildings contain a great deal of asbestos (a known carcinogen),” “dysfunctional and redundant work space environments,” and “Moreover, they don’t meet many current fire and safety codes.” Wow. I immediately began to wonder who Sandra Simmons was and if she had alerted the city to these facts. Although dysfunctional and redundant work space environments didn’t sound serious, the asbestos and the fire and safety code violations did sound bad. So, I went to the Internet. A little research on the Internet revealed that Ms. Simmons has resided in downtown San Diego for 17 years and she has a downtown-based business, VivaCity. Naturally, any enhancements to downtown San Diego will benefit her business, so she had no qualms making serious claims about the safety of the City’s workers, claims that were not backed up with actual facts, in order to scare people into thinking we have to build this expensive venture that we can’t afford. The Internet will expose a person’s true interest very quickly. Recently, the Beacon ran a story about the Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) sponsoring a Town Hall meeting to discuss the airport. The meet-

ing was held at the Corky McMillin Cos. Events Center. Because one member of the PCPB works for McMillin — although not admitting so publicly — several PCPB meetings have been held at the former NTC, courtesy of McMillin, even in the McMillin corporate headquarters conference room. So, I went to the Internet again and found out it costs about $3,000 to rent the McMillin Events Center. And, knowing the PCPB has no money, I asked a few questions. I attended the Town Hall meeting and the first speaker was a gentleman from the NTC Foundation who gave what sounded like a commercial for the NTC Promenade that surprised me. My questions led me to Alan Ziter, who is the executive director of the NTC Foundation. Mr. Ziter explained to me that they had “donated” the hall and that it really didn’t cost them anything because they had staff on duty anyway. This was disingenuous at best because the IRS would have looked at it as a $3,000 gift, regardless of what it cost that night. The value of the donation is what mattered. Who is the major supporter of all this? McMillin, of course. So the point of my story is to realize that influence is everywhere and it is disguised, but the Internet can quickly unmask it. Don’t take anything for face value, question why things happen as they do. When you understand the real story behind comments like these of Ms. Simmons,

Here’s one last Internet fact for Ms. Simmons: the city of San Diego encompasses 72.7 square miles. A generous estimate of the downtown is 4 square miles or about 6 percent of the whole city.

Del Mar horse racing afoot for its 70th year BY LORALEE OLEJNIK | THE BEACON

Del Mar’s lucky number is 70 this year, as the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (DMTC) launches its platinum racing season Wednesday, July 22. From horses to hats to Hollywood stars, the countdown to San Diego’s septuagenarian summer event is on. In a world where fads are lucky to get even five minutes of fame, Del Mar is still going strong seven decades later. “We have sought to perpetuate the romance, the glamour, and keep it alive, and we’ve done a good job at it,” said Dan Smith, senior media coordinator for the DMTC, who has been promoting Del Mar racing since 1964, when he started in the publicity department. “Del Mar used to be the poor stepsister of Santa Ana and Hollywood Park (racetracks). It didn’t compare. All that has changed. Now Del Mar has been the number one track in the country.” Smith credits this to several things, including the formation of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, the private entity that runs the races, in 1970. The creation of this new lease with the state called for money generated to be invested back into infrastructure and as a result dramatically improved the facilities. A major renovation was also completed in 1992. Smith also said that Del Mar’s appeal has grown as San Diego itself has evolved into a more attractive tourist destination, especially for families and those looking for an easy getaway from Los Angeles. And, of course, since the early days, when Bing Crosby welcomed guests on opening day, Del Mar has

always had star appeal and been a place where adoring fans may, just may, get an autograph from their favorite movie stars. In honor of the 70th anniversary, a 30-foot-long, 6-foot-tall mural by Pierre “PEB” Bellocq, commemorating the people and horses of Del Mar’s history, has been permanently installed in the Turf Club entranceway. The living members featured in the mural have been invited to a dedication ceremony on Saturday, July 25. A 70thanniversary commemorative Tshirt giveaway will happen on Saturday, Aug. 8. The Del Mar race track has a long, rich history. Opened in 1937, the second racing season, 1938, saw the famous Seabiscuit-Ligaroti match. When a solid road and railway system made travel from Los Angeles easier, Del Mar became a playground to the stars. The track was closed during World War II, when it served as, among other things, a Marine training ground. In 1991, the first Pacific Classic Race — Del Mar’s most expensive and prestigious race, with a $1 million purse — was held. In 2007, the track surface was replaced with synthetic Polytrack. This will be the third season since Del Mar installed the Polytrack, composed of silica sand, fibers, recycled rubber and wax. Though it got off to a slow start, literally, making race times longer, Polytrack is now getting rave reviews. According to DMTC spokesman Mac McBride, catastrophic injuries to horses have been reduced by half and no riders have been injured since installing Polytrack. This is despite a significant increase in the number of horses racing and training on the surface

The 70th season of Del Mar horse racing is set to open July 22 and will continue through Sept. 9.

every year. Though initially Polytrack drew complaints for its slower race times, it was soon discovered that keeping it moist made it more consistent and easier to race on. According to McBride, last year’s race times on Polytrack were faster than in 2006, the last year with natural turf. “Polytrack is good for the horses and riders. Amen. What else do we need to say?” McBride wrote in an e-mail. Looking to the future of Del Mar, this year will bring significant changes as well, many precipitated by the current financial crisis gripping the nation. One major adjustment will be the reduction from a six- to a five-day race week, running Wednesdays through Sundays. “It will be wonderful for the patrons, jockeys and employees to get an extra day to rest,” said Craig Dado, DMTC vice president of marketing. “(The shorter week) will lead to better racing and increased attendance.”

WEDNESDAY

Dado also said that in recognizing patrons may not have as much money to throw around these days, the DMTC has launched several new promotions. With “Free and Easy Wednesdays,” patrons receive free stretch-run admission, a reserved seat, a program and halfprice domestic beer, soda and hot dogs, valid every Wednesday except opening day. The club also offers a free Diamond Club membership, good for discounts on admission as well as free admission for seniors (aged 62 and older) on Thursdays.

THURSDAY · JULY 16, 2009 THE PENINSULA BEACON

PLNU athletics captures 7th in national NACDA rankings BY KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI | THE BEACON

The Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) athletic program placed seventh out of nearly 300 schools in the 2008-09 National Athletic Interscholastic Association (NAIA) for the 44th annual National Association Collegiate Directors Athletics (NACDA) Convention held in Orlando, Fla. last month. “All the credit goes to our coaches and student-athletes,” said PLNU athletic director Ethan Hamilton. “This was an exciting season for us and probably our best spring sports performance ever with all our teams reaching the playoffs.” The Sea Lions improved 10 spots from last season but continue to play in arguably the toughest conference in the NAIA, with five GSAC schools in the top seven rankings. Hamilton admits that is both frustrating and a source of pride to be in the NAIA’s top league. “It is frustrating that we finish well within our conference but where we place in the GSAC sets

the tone for how we finish nationally,” Hamilton said. “Our conference is where our allegiance and loyalty is more than just nationally,” he said. Azusa Pacific University won an unprecedented fifth cup with a point total of 915. Concordia (Calif.) was the next highest with 774, followed by Lindenwood (Mo.) with 767.50 points, Fresno Pacific (751), Cal Baptist (692), Oklahoma City (663.20) and finally Point Loma with 625.50. Despite the improvement in overall points, the story is the same for the Sea Lions. Why is the GSAC so much better than the rest of the NAIA? Hamilton believes it is because of coaching. “We have the premiere coaches in our conference and they are able to get the topflight studentathletes,” Hamilton said. “Our conference also looks to give our student-athletes not only a good athletic experience. “Our graduation rates are through the roof at 86 percent,” he said. “We want to give them a

sonnel, the team’s training camps, which have drawn as many as 25,000 fans at Chargers Park over the years, will be closed to the public this month and next due to a public safety issue.

We’ve Mtoowarvdsed! Point your paws our new address!

After having moved from UCSD earlier this decade, the team’s summer camp has taken place at the Murphy Canyon facility in recent years. The Murphy Canyon site, however, was damaged earlier this year by a drainage pipe that burst, creating a 40-foot-deep, 30-footwide sinkhole. While the team says the sinkhole has been filled, it also reports that there is no guarantee the ground along it or around it is safe to stand or walk on. “Training camp is a special time for our fans, and the decision to close camp this year was made very reluctantly,” said Jim Steeg, the Chargers’ COO. “We share the city’s goal of completing these crit-

ical repairs during the dry summer months so, in the end, we had no alternative but to take this step.” To allow fans to enjoy practices during the repairs, the Chargers will hold sessions on Aug. 5, 8 and 12 at Qualcomm Stadium that will be free and open to the public. “The unfortunate closing of our training camp means that the entire Chargers organization will work to find other ways to provide our fans with the chance to see the practices that they enjoy during training camp,” Steeg continued. According to the Chargers, the final clean-up of the site at Murphy Canyon may take a few more months.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT OB street fair streamed live to world Sports BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON

These days, it appears the No. 1 free family event in San Diego is the street fair. A staple of nearly every neighborhood around San Diego, street fairs offer a day in the outdoors with music, food and vendors among the attractions. That said, little has changed over the decades about the experience. Now, a Point Loma-based musician, Lauren Scheff, and his website Scheff Music, is hoping to change that, offering the opportunity for taking in the event without leaving the comfort of home. This year’s Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off was streamed live on the Internet for the first time, giving people around the world a look at the fun as it happened. Part of one of San Diego’s legendary musical families, which includes his father, Jerry (bassist with Elvis Presley, The Doors and others), and older brother Jason (frontman/bassist for Chicago, which performs at Humphrey’s on July 26), Scheff originally started out in 2007 with a view to help his brother. “Between tours, my brother wanted to play some small gigs but stream them live so that fans from around the world could watch,” Scheff said. “That started out the whole idea of a cool outlet to expose people to great bands.” In September 2008, Scheff launched his weekly show with his cousin, Donnie Dark, himself a mainstay of San Diego’s ’90s-era music scene, in bands such as Honey Glaze and Friends of Ghosts.

“We wanted to bring attention to music with the show,” Scheff said, “things like going over an album track by track and showing what made it a classic. From there we decided to branch out and get live bands. I thought, ‘Let’s dive into the musical culture of San Diego.’” To that end,Scheff now broadcasts a weekly music show from his Point Loma studio, which now gets up to 22,000 views a night. A combination variety and talk show, guests have included Get Back Loretta and Joey Harris. While there are many music events in San Diego, Scheff considers the Ocean Beach Street Fair, to be the logical choice for live streaming. “Ocean Beach has been my playground, my backyard when I was growing up,” Scheff said. “When I heard it was the 30th aniversary, I wanted to contribute and volunteer and do something on my end. I wanted to stream it live so we could show the fair to the world.” The initial broadcast took in this year’s 92107 stage, using a stationary camera and a handheld one for interviews, which included Denny Knox, executive director of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. According to Knox, the street fair has had footage of bands posted on Youtube, and the annual local Jazz Festival was simulcast to New Orleans last year. However, this was the debut of live streaming of the street fair, with Scheff taking the proceedings one step further by conducting on-spot interviews with the bands, event organizers and attendees.

When I heard it was the 30th anniversary ... I wanted to stream it live so we could show the fair to the world. LAUREN SCHEFF SCHEFF MUSIC

“I was thrilled about this concept,” said Knox. “I loved the idea that someone could see the fair from afar.” Knox said the broadcast would appeal to tourists who wanted to see what the area has to offer, music fans and people who aren’t able to attend. “I had to work in the office the day of the street fair,” Knox said. “I really wanted to see one of the bands but was at my desk. So we went to live streaming and it was fantastic to be able to see it at the same time as everyone else.” Scheff plans to expand significantly by next year. “We put this year together in three days,” Scheff said. “We wanted to test the waters, but the plan is to set up multiple locations, with one live stream and pull live footage from the five different stages. “The goal is to have cameras hop around, so you can have the whole experience of the street fair versus just from one stage,” he said. The concept is evolving weekly.” For more information, visit www.iambro.com.

The PLSA soccer programs focus on a small-sided game (fewer players per team), game training and game formats promoted by the U.S Soccer Federation and the U.S. Youth Soccer Association. PLSA officials said that by using true small-sided game formats that appropriately scale the game to match the developmental stage of the players, the opportunity for each child to contact the ball dramatically increases. This accelerates players’ individual skill development and understanding of the game. PLSA offers winter, spring and summer “street soccer” recreational programs and a full teambased fall program. The organization’s website touts special events such as free clinics and opportunities to train with the San Diego Sockers, as well as information on the smallsided game philosophy. Fall signups are being accepted by mail until Aug. 1. Forms are available online by visiting the PSLA website at www.PLSA4kix.org.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Comic-Con put some pop in one retailer’s business 10

THURSDAY · JULY 16, 2009

THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY TANYA KURLAND | THE BEACON

Steve Schane would be a successful retailer in the pop culture world regardless, but he’s quick to acknowledge that San Diego Comic-Con was vital to jump-starting his San Diego business and has kept it thriving the past 39 years. “We show 50,000 items in four days ... We have the best devoted fans who keep coming back year after year,” said Schane, owner and president of Schane Services and Products. The San Diego-based company, which buys and sells overstock inventory of pop culture items, including toys, animation art, comic books and nostalgic pieces, first exhibited in 1980, just a year after Comic-Con first came on the scene. The Con, as it’s known, will celebrate 30 years of bringing pop culture phenomena to the masses. It will be held July 23 to 26 at the San Diego Convention Center, 111 West Harbor Drive. “It’s a meeting place of likeminded people who show excitement and enthusiasm for the medium,” Schane said. The La Mesa resident started collecting comic books as a boy. He and his brother Bill then ran a comic book mail order business. Since 2000, his company has sold 30 million items to retailers, wholesalers and individual customers worldwide. He also offers consulting in sales and marketing for other companies looking to get started or to

improve their businesses. His company grew from one booth to nearly 10 over the years. This year, he will have three booths in the Exhibit Hall. “We make sure we don’t have too much of one thing when another area is lacking. We look for diversity, something we think our attendees like,” said David Glanzer, Con director of marketing and public relations. For Schane, one of the best parts of the Con is seeing generations of families in attendance. People he sold to years ago now bring their children and grandchildren to the event, he said. Organizers are expecting big crowds again this year, with nearly 125,000 anticipated to take a sneak peek at upcoming comic books, movies and television series, novels and other literature, most with sci-fi and fantasy themes. A notable component of the Con involves the chance for fans to meet and talk with their idols. Panels of writers, producers, directors and actors give the fans direct access they would never normally have the chance to ask, Glanzer said. To offset overflow, some of the events will be hosted in neighboring ballrooms and meeting rooms. Organizers will also be erecting tents in and around the convention center. Part of this year’s celebration centers on a Con milestone. To commemorate 40 years, past board members, presidents and

people involved from the start have been invited to sit on panels and forums to discuss what the convention was like during its early years. “We will hear what they had to work with and how it was perceived at the time. It will be a very interesting insight,” said Glanzer. “These past people will give great history lessons about where we came from and what they did to get where we are now and where we are going.” Organizers also published a hardcover book chronicling the convention and its birth in 1979, with highlights of artists, exhibitors and fans and a large

pictorial. The coffee-table book can be purchased online for $31.99 or during the convention. Newcomers may be overwhelmed by the size and structure of the con. Glanzer gave some tips. “Decide in advance what you want to see so you can play accordingly. Stay hydrated and wear comfortable shoes... There is a considerable amount of walking,” he advised. He also suggested to come up with designated times and places to meet up with friends and family. “With 125,000 people over four days, you may not just be able to

run into them,” he added. On Wednesday, July 22 from 6 to 9 p.m., there will be a preview night for VIP passholders. The remaining hours are Thursday, July 23 through Saturday, July 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will also be late-night programming for films, gaming and the Masquerade Ball. Ticket purchases and badge registration can only be done online at www.comic-con.org. However, a recent peek at the website showed that all tickets have been sold and that there will be no onsite ticket booth sales, Glanzer stressed.

Wow Cafe (Walking On Water) Located on the OB Pier, you’ll enjoy a great meal while taking in the best view in town — including surfers and sea life. The family friendly restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and features a menu with something for everyone. Some of the “must trys” include the mango pancakes, world famous clam chowder, award winning fish & chips, plus the “as seen on TV” ultimate Nachos. But whatever you try, you won’t be disappointed.

Best Italian Restaurant

The Venetian If visuals get your Italian-cuisine appetite in gear, The Venetian is your restaurant forevermore. It’s physically impossible to escape the concepts behind the décor – the Tuscan wall murals and tabletop scenes complement vine-strewn latticework and mellow lighting on the patio. The food has best been described as California-Italian, which simply means you can expect great fare without a lot of heavy sauce, the way some other places think Italian should be done. The pastas and chicken entrees will command your serious attention, as will the tidy bar and the family-style menu. Anything else you could ask for probably doesn’t exist.
