OB sees reflection in ‘Ex List’ viewing BY RONAN GRAY | THE BEACON
It’s 9 p.m. Friday night in the Arizona bar on Bacon Street, and inside several groups of patrons are transfixed to one or another of the many large television screens lining the walls of this Ocean Beach watering hole. Patrons wait as a new TV show with a familiar-looking backdrop is about to make its premiere on CBS on this evening. Most locals already know about the show, but apparently not all. A young man weaving his way back to the bar from the restroom turns to see what everyone is watchParticipants in the 2007 Ocean Beach Oktoberfest compete in a stein-holding competition.
ing and exclaims, “Hey! It’s OB dude!” The new show, “The Ex List,” was filmed entirely on location in Ocean Beach over the past few months. The story is about an OB flower shop owner, Bella (played by Elizabeth Reaser) whose junk-food scoffing psychic tells her that she has already met, dated and dumped the man she is supposed to spend the rest of her life with. To make matters worse, the hyperphaging mystic predicts that Bella will be doomed to spend the rest of her life alone if she doesn’t reconnect with SEE VIEWING, Page 3

Amid the bad news for Wall Street in recent days, Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) says bratwurst, bands and Bavarian beer should bring cheer and better times to Ocean Beach this weekend.

Navy hosts its own brand of OKTOBERFEST antics More than 1,200 servicemen and women from Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) set new attendance records as they soaked up the suds and festivities during the annual OKTOBERFEST 2008 “Picnic in the Park” event on Oct. 2. The fifth installment of the event was sponsored by the base Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) arm, providing base sailors, their families and Department of Defense civilian employees with plenty of food, fun and entertainment. According to Navy officials, OKTOBERFEST 2008 boasted the largest attendance to date. “Our MWR goal is to pay tribute to all our service members and civilian personnel for their commitment and sacrifices while serving our country accomplishing Naval Base Point Loma’s mission goals,” said Dick Grube, MWR director for Naval Base Point Loma. “This includes both those in uniform, their supporting family members and the civilian population who all comprise the NBPL team.” A key to the harvest-themed event was a focus on quality of life issues for military personnel and their families and included a barbecue, interactive games,

Among the entertainment highlighting the Navy shindig was a performance by Hilby, “The Skinny German Juggler Boy,” who dazzled the crowd with unorthodox fire juggling and comedy.

Ongoing concerns about Mission Bay have not been limited to what goes on at the surface. In response to complaints that Mission Bay is often too shallow to rent boats to tourists and other visitors, the Mission Bay Park Committee (MBPC) recently asked the city to review the bathymetry — or underwater topography — and possible need for dredging. Citing a quote from a similar report on the Mississippi Delta, Keith Merkel of Merkel & Associates, Inc., said, “We don’t have a sediment problem. We have a sediment distribution problem.” Though many mark 1961 as the beginning of the transformation from False Bay to Mission Bay, it actually started with the diversion of the San Diego River into the bay from 1852 to 1929. Initial dredging also began then. Bahia Point was then created.
The dredging of West Bay, a channel to De Anza Cove, Quivira Basin and a main channel to Mariner’s Basin followed. Construction for the expansive manmade bay was completed in 1961. Since then, Tecolote Creek, the Mission Bay channel and Fisherman’s Channel have been dredged and Sail Bay expanded. Further maintenance includes the removal of a shoal at East Ski Island, the reconfiguration of West Ski Island and various shoreline stabilization projects. The result, Merkel said, is an environment where sand moves but with minimal fluctuation. Tidal and wave action account for most of the sediment movement, he said. Sand enters the bay through an entrance channel at the intersection of Pacific Beach and the San Diego River as well as Rose and Tecolote creeks. Wind, waves and SEE DREDGING, Page 9

City will fund replacement of stolen natural park signs BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON
City officials presented good news to Point Loma residents Monday, announcing that funding has been set aside to replace four stolen Sunset Cliffs Natural Park signs that symbolized pride and progress toward improving the park. District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer and city Park and Recreation Department officials told members of the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Council that about $5,000 has now been allocated to replace the signs stolen in September, said Ann Swanson, chair of the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Council. According to city officials, the signs will cost about $1,600 each to replace and will be paid for by the city’s Park and Recreation Department. “The community is very pleased with the council office and Kevin Faulconer’s commitment to having those signs there. The community was very unhappy with the missing
signs, so they are delighted that [city officials] are coming forward with funding,” she said. The signs were taken from around different points along Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and from near entrances to the park around midSeptember. New signs are expected to be erected in December unless the original signs are found and put back. After neighbors discovered the signs were missing, community members angered by the thievery made a public plea for the return of the signs — “No questions asked.” They also offered a reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects involved. The community has been working to implement the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park master plan since the plans approval in 2005, Swanson said. The large emblematic signs showed the community’s progress toward restoring the natural park.
City officials met with members of the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park Council (SCNPC) to announce the allocation of about $5,000 in city funds to replace four landmark signs stolen in September. Shown are, from left, Gene Berger, SCNPC treasurer; Michael Ruiz, grounds maintenance manager for shoreline parks with the city’s Park and Recreation Department, Barbara Keiller, SCNPC vice chair; Ann Swanson, SCNPC chair; District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer; Park and Recreation Department director Stacey LoMedico; and Larry McCleary, SCNPC corresponding secretary.

the correct “ex” over the course of the next year. After a series of minor prophecies become real in mysterious and often humorous ways, the 30-something business woman makes a formidable list of ex-lovers and embarks on a quest to strike the names from it until she finds Mr. Right. The noise in The Arizona is such that it’s impossible to hear the dialog on the TV, but perhaps that is little consequence. “I think that most of us sat down just to see our town in the background anyway,” says Greg Larson, who is following the plot by reading the closed captions racing across the bottom of the screens. “It’s really cool. They’ve got a plot going and it’s all making sense.”
Sitting nearby, Denny Knox is also following the plot by reading the closed captions. Knox, who works for the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA), says that she’s really enjoying “The Ex List.” “It’s fun to see the pier and the shops and some of the scenes are so OB,” she says. Mike Akey, who works with Knox at the OBMA, sums up the show as “just like Sex in the City but in OB.” Gary McAnally, another OB resident watching with Akey, says it was interesting to see the final product after watching the actual filming process over the last few months. One of the OB locals who also saw that process up close is Ted Wigler, a bartender and talent booker for Winston’s Beach Club where all the indoor bar scenes in the first episode were shot. “Our bar looked great!” says Wigler. “It makes OB look pretty

good and I think that they encapsulated the OB vibe really well.” Like some people watching the show in OB on Friday night, Wigler’s friend, Bob Wilson, found it interest-
ing to see some of the local landmarks but wasn’t so sure about the storyline. “They’ve got to work on the story a bit,” Wilson says.

Wigler disagrees, however. “I think that they hit their target demographic,” which he believes is young women looking for a slice the Southern Californian beach lifestyle. Although the reaction among locals watching in OB on Friday night seems overwhelmingly positive, Wigler says he had heard shouts of “Go back to Hollywood!” and some less savory remarks several times during the four days of filming at Winston’s. “A lot more people benefit from this than the people who are telling these guys to get out of town realize,” says Wigler. “The restaurants are doing well and all the guys who are wrapping cable and pulling lights on the set are locals that I have run into at other events around town.” The show is slotted to run at 9 p.m. on Fridays on CBS-Channel 8.

people can take a break from all the worrisome news out there and come to Ocean Beach,” said Denny Knox, OBMA’s executive director. It rained during last year’s Oktoberfest, but Knox said she is hopeful that inclement weather is not
in this weekend’s forecast. If weather permits, hundreds of amateur and seasoned beer and brat connoisseurs will descend on the beer garden at the end of Newport Avenue. Event organizers will ask a donation of $3 per person or $5 for two people at the garden’s entrance. All proceeds go to beautification projects in Ocean Beach, Knox said. Alongside the oompahs of a
NEWS Bavarian Beer Garden Band throughout the day, beer-stein bearers can also catch the brewing sounds of the Johnny Cash cover band Cash’d Out. Participants can jam to the revolutionary tunes of Vegitation and may well recognize performances by Danielle Lo Presti and the Masses. A full band line up can be found at www.oboktoberfest.com. Those with a thirst for competi-
tion can try their hand at the World Famous Sausage Toss contest, which is exactly what it sounds like. Qualifying rounds for tossers start at 10:45 a.m. Preceding the toss will be the O.B. Brat Trot that will course through the neighborhood. The run is hosted by a chapter of the Hash House Harriers, a social club that describes itself as “a drinking club with a running problem,” according to their Web site. Signups for the race begin at 9 a.m. with the race getting under way at 9:30 a.m. Then it’s a day of stein-holding and bratwurst-eating contests in between rounds of music and toasts. And as the evening dawns and the beer in the steins becomes stale, the winners take home their prizes and the wurst losers will lick their brat-bruised wounds. Just outside the beer garden, along Newport Avenue, festivalgoers can purchase some nostalgia from the largest antique business district in San Diego as stores display their finest wares. Ken Freeman, owner of the Ocean Beach Antique Mall, said October is typically sluggish for the OB antique market. And with reports of consumer confidence flailing alongside the stock market, Freeman said buyers would be smart to invest in an appreciating, future family heirloom birthed by a memory in Ocean Beach. Freeman, who trades in antique jewelry, isn’t bothered that Okto-
berfest might overshadow the twice-yearly antique sale. “We support and we stand beside them and hopefully our event helps them and their events help us,” said Freeman. Craig Gerwig, co-owner of Newport Avenue Antique Center and Coffee House, 4864 Newport Ave., is one of the principle organizers of the antique stores’ sales event. He said the sale helps boost revenues during a typically slow month. The Ocean Beach antique district is known as a place where people can go out antiquing for a day, he said. All types of people come through the beach community, which itself has become a destination within the city for world travelers and locals. “We’re hoping that Oktoberfest is going to bring a lot of people and maybe they’ll be driving by and they’ll stop by,” Gerwig said. “We always have a good time.” Pacific Beach residents can also join the fun as shuttles carry oompah lovers from 710 Beach Club at 710 Garnet Ave., and deliver them to the yearly shindig every half hour. The last ride returns to PB at 8:30 p.m. With hundreds of funseekers expected to converge on Ocean Beach on Saturday, event organizers hope this year’s Oktoberfest will not only help to reinvigorate the local economy but provided a much-needed means of escape, good cheer and comeradery in troubling times.
The Ocean Beach Oktoberfest returns Saturday.

PLHS theatrical Hall of Fame to debut BY TRISH CLENNEY BROWN | THE BEACON
Larry Zeiger, mastermind of 31 years of musical reviews at Point Loma High School (PLHS), started the annual end-of-school productions “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance” as something different — “an opportunity to have the kids develop their own stories for musicals.” Now, “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance” has its own Hall of Fame, celebrating 31 years of musical commentary by PLHS students. The grand opening of the Hall of Fame will be held on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., at the PLHS media center/library. Zeiger retired from teaching in 2007 after 33 years at Point Loma High. He says the annual year-end production began as an English class for advanced students. “It was a program where I wanted to empower students as leaders in the arts, as actors, costumers, choreographers and writers and directors,” Zeiger said. “We would develop stories and integrate popular songs and songs from theatrical work, and occasionally, students would write songs to advance the plot and to develop a musical.” The resulting productions usually grew into fascinating hybrids featuring a complex storyline that often mixed world events and celebrity reports, tied together with songs and dance numbers. Take, for example, the 2003 show “Sticky Fingers.” The storyline begins in a missile site in North Korea and winds to Hollywood, where it focuses on the infamous Winona Ryder shoplifting incident. That production received
tremendous worldwide publicity, covered by everyone from CNN and People Magazine to the New York Post and Rome’s La Republica. Whether or not the revues garnered worldwide attention, each of the 31 productions achieved its goal of empowering students and pleasing the audience. Most of those years, Zeiger took photographs of every song performed. Those pictures have been collected and will be displayed as part of the current exhibit. They will make up most of the open house exhibition on Oct. 11. Also LARRY ZEIGER running concurrently will be a multi-media presentation of the photos, accompanied by music. The latter was created by Anthony Palmiotto, media arts teacher, and student Ricardo Reyes. By Oct. 1, Zeiger had already received more than 100 RSVPs, mostly from former students, many of whom promise to attend dressed in costumes worn during the shows. That kind of enthusiasm is typical of Zeiger’s students. His approach to teaching always went far beyond today’s standardized testing, encouraging students to learn by active involvement in and enjoyment of his creative productions. Zeiger’s approach to education helped not only students who went into arts-related fields, but also those who have pursued more tra-
ditional careers such as law and medicine. Many past students credit Zeiger’s classes for their success in life. Preserving that kind of legacy is part of what Shannon Toyzan, PLHS’s library-media teacher, wanted to do when she offered space in the school library for the current Hall of Fame exhibition. “Larry has had such an impact on so many Point Loma seniors,” said Toyzan. “Over the years, students continue to stay in touch with him. And a lot of family history is here [in this exhibit], too. I’ve already had students coming in and saying, ‘That’s my mother,’ or ‘That’s my sister or brother’ when they see these pictures,” said Toyzan. “It would be such a shame if all that history disappeared.” She plans to leave the exhibit up indefinitely. Anyone who wants to see it can go to the school and stop by the office to sign in. “Larry Zeiger recognizes and brings out the best in everyone,” Toyzan said. Following the afternoon opening of the Hall of Fame on Oct. 11, a reception will take place at Tender Greens at Liberty Station from 4 to 6 p.m. Tender Greens, a new restaurant noted for fresh, organic ingredients, is run by two PLHS graduates, Rian Brandenberg and Pete Balisteiri. The “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance” Hall of Fame exhibition is free and open to the public. The deadline to reserve tickets for the reception, however, has passed. But the $15 ticket includes $5 donation to the scholarship fund to honor the memory of several late “Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance” members.

OPINION
THURSDAY OCTOBER 9, 2008 THE PENINSULA BEACON
GUEST COMMENTARY
Forum leaves questions By CYNTHIA CONGER Attendees of the “town hall meeting” [Sept. 23] hosted by the Peninsula Community Planning Board/Point Loma Association felt it was a snow job. Presentations by the airport, Port District, SANDAG, Navy, CALTRANS and Metro Transit System left few real answers. The Port’s Harbor Drive’s proposal for width reduction and right-merge lane removal off Scott Street neglected emergency access impacts for a population of 85,000-plus. Shelter/Harbor Island projects add to the Port’s benefit from conversion of free public parking spaces into paid. Avoiding tough questions, it appeared that residents/businesses in the area approved the project, grossly underestimating local concerns. The Airport Authority’s tour of the infeasibility of East Elliott (southeast of Miramar) for a citizen-proposed runway alignment, resulted in [Airport Authority board member Jim] Panknin being convinced of its feasibility, as witnessed by attendees. Panknin declared it “politically infeasible” and that “no plan looked forward to any relocation of Lindbergh.” Questions were censored to remove references to safety at Lindbergh as the major airport to serve a population over 4.25 million by 2030 or a future vision beyond, leaving him to answer: “by Feb. 9, the new master plan should have answers” to shortterm problems.” Such comments starkly displayed the Airport Authority is not fulfilling their jobs of planning for the future of San Diego — because of politics. Isn’t this avoidance, on Lindbergh’s PSA crash anniversary proof that the Authority refuses to address their statedirected goals? Will another crash predestine Lindbergh’s future — that maximizing variance-only-approved operations on a 660-acre airport between major flight obstacles is not a plan for our growing metropolitan city? Or that an area perfect for an airport and central to the region, safely surrounded by 64,000 acres of mostly undeveloped land, will be lost forever to housing development, along with a federally-paid-for “world-class transit system?” Concerning future exhaust blasted at NTC/Loma Portal from 10 new gates: The authority’s overall estimates of pollution and noise was that it would increase significantly, suggesting mitigation to use alternative-fueled ground equipment and “work on transit improvements.” Unremarkable, in that the last 3-year variance (six years ago) required the same,
still-unimplemented mitigation with five years more to do it! The number of flights increased over Peninsula “... will increase as demand for passenger service increases, estimated at 12 percent annually, utilizing the exact same takeoff and landing paths as today.” Who’d believe this as accurate, after 3-6 percent increases annually, the last six years? Regarding the Navy’s transportation plans for new fuel tanks, Cmdr. [Steven] Sharer stated, the shipment of materials in was “still undetermined by road or by barge.” His answers omitted promised shuttles for NTC’s Navy personnel to area bases and the loss of a 50year-old bus service to a large portion of Peninsula, gutting bus routes going north to south, bypassing eight schools and the elderly who cannot walk up or down steep streets to better serve better NTC students/churches/military personnel. The military encouraged using MTS/public transportation, using federal programs (grants) to “incentivise” this use. MTS/SANDAG noted bus use was up because of costly gas, saying “when sales tax receipts get better, maybe they’d increase new routes, failing to mention their community-routeremoval/reduction to service more buses along Rosecrans Street for NTC/Gateway traffic mitigation in the NTC deal. Two arms of government in discussion with impacted local public left out? Important questions for [District 2 City Councilman] Kevin Faulconer were missed regarding failure to give notice on multiple cell phone/Wi-Fi antenna towers being placed adjacent to residential homes and on proposed highly-explosive, 38-ton, multi-tank trucks of methane gas, bringing revenue via dangerous transport through residential streets 7 to 11 times daily! This community must be invited for real input in focused planning meetings with full consideration from government organizations/agencies. Being the most impacted group on many issues, our questions were censored; their importance belittled. Information not relevant to massive traffic/safety impacts left more unanswered questions. Recommended is that the Peninsula Town Council address a future meeting agenda in response to these issues that will gravely affect the quality of life of everyone on this Peninsula. — Cynthia Conger is a former chair of the Peninsula Community Planning Board.

An open letter to some political sign thieves For the third time in as many days, the political signs that I have placed in my yard have been stolen by you. They were not freestanding signs; rather they were nailed on to my fence to prevent your thievery. Apparently, it did not work, because you came physically onto my property and ripped the signs off the fence. In America, we still have freedom of speech. I have the right to put up any sign expressing my beliefs on my property. You do not have the right to remove those signs. If you do so, as you continue to do, you are not only violating my rights to free speech, but you are vandalizing the property, and this is a misdemeanor, punishable by the law. No matter how many signs you remove, there will be ones to replace those you steal. Someday a neighbor will see you; we will see you; or a police officer will see you, because we have asked to have more drive-by time of our overworked officers. And someday you will be caught, and when that happens, you can rest assured I will press charges. It goes without saying that more and more of our rights are being abused and are taken away. This is one almost everyone will fight to keep. J. Curry Point Loma

25 Beacon, page 6). Two weeks ago, my husband and I were enjoying the beach at the end of Newport Avenue, a spot we had avoided for years because of the element that had virtually taken over, sitting on the seawall or on the sand, clearly boozed out of their minds, making rude comments and leering at the young women who walked by. We were so pleased with the change. Families with children and young people had replaced a seedy subculture. However, I happened to look up from my book to see a man sneaking drinks from an iced container. His bleary smile told me all I needed to know. Several sneaked drinks later, he jumped up, ran down to the water and dived in. Unfortunately, as Mr. Ryan pointed out, the booze had affected his ability to judge distance and he landed on his face in a few inches of water. I admit I felt bad for the man. I always feel bad when someone embarrasses themselves. His wife walked him back up to the towel and his booze. He continued to drink and I continued to read. Suddenly, I felt a thud. He was flopping like a beached seal between my husband and me saying, “Oh no, I fell, I’m so sorry.” Yeah, I still felt sorry for him. Then two lifeguards approached and asked him if he was drinking, asked to look in his bag and very politely told him that he was intoxicated and for his safety it would be better if he went home. His wife was sober and able to drive and they waited while she made multiple trips carrying stuff back to the car because her husband couldn’t walk. While the lifeguards patiently waited we spent a moment in conversation and they told us how much easier and pleasant their

jobs had become, how many fewer arrests were being made and one said his wife, like us, had avoided this spot of beach for years and now visited with the kids. Yes, it was a minor alcohol related incident. But that’s the point; it was one drunken man and two kind lifeguards rather than a whole beach full of drinkers, and it was swiftly and peacefully resolved. What a difference.

Writer would support ban on alcohol at beach I read with interest both editorials regarding the beach ban on liquor. Both sides have a point. However, I would vote for a beach ban for the following reasons. The main one being small children play in the sand while their mothers watch their antics. There is nothing wrong with imbibing alcohol within limits. It is unfortunate that some people don’t know when to stop becoming inebriated and, in this state, throw beer cans and trash on the beach instead of into the trash barrels. They start fights, generally making a nuisance of themselves. It is disgusting and not conducive to others trying to enjoy the crashing waves ridden by surfers. Driving under the influence had little effect on the situation because it can be done anywhere — and regrettably is. One can split a bottle of wine with their husband or wife, sitting on the seawall and watching the sunset on the waves. It’s a beautiful sight. Ada M. Powers Point Loma

New Americans Museum exhibits rare photos The New Americans Museum at Liberty Station is debuting an exhibit of rare photographs by a FilipinoAmerican photographer, offering insight into the emergence of the Filipino-American community in postwar America. The exhibit, “Through My Father’s Eyes: The Filipino American Photographs of Ricardo Orceto Alvarado (1914-1976), is a collection of 50 photographs taken by Alvarado, who emigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines in 1928 as part of the early 20th-century wave of immigrants. He served in the Pacific Theater during World War II. When the war ended, Alvarado supported his passion for photography by working as a civilian cook for an army hospital

in San Francisco. For more than 20 years following the war, Alvarado documented postwar Filipino American life. His photographs capture day-today activities as well as special moments of celebration. The exhibition photographs offer a poignant portrayal of the Filipino American community in San Francisco from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. There are currently more than 80,000 foreign-born Filipino residents in San Diego County who account for more than 12 percent of the foreign-born population. “Coincidentally, the large Filipino population in San Diego had its start when many Filipinos that enlisted and served in the U.S. Navy were trained at the (former) Naval Training Center and opted to return to San Diego after their tours of duty,” said museum executive director Gayle Hom. The exhibit will run through Nov. 2. The New Americans Museum is located at the NTC Promenade of Liberty Station, 2825 Dewey Road, Suite 102.

Jury deadlocks over firefighters’ sexual harassment lawsuit After four days of deliberations, a jury deadlocked Oct. 6 over whether four San Diego firefighters were sexually harassed during the 2007 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual Parade. Jurors were able to answer only one question in the lawsuit, and they voted 11-1 to conclude that firefighter Jason Hewitt was not subjected to an adverse employment action by filing the lawsuit with the three others against the city and the city’s fire-rescue department. In a civil case, nine votes are required to reach a decision. San Diego Superior Court Judge
Michael Anello set a retrial for Jan. 16. City Attorney Mike Aguirre called the verdict a victory for the city of San Diego and said the firefighters were motivated by greed. Aguirre said that if a jury had awarded damages, the money would come from taxpayer dollars. Charles LiMandri, the firefighters' attorney, said the city violated its own anti-sexual harassment policy by ordering the four firefighters into the parade even though they objected and that other firefighters had complained about slurs and crude gestures coming from crowds at previous parades.
He had sought $500,000 to $1 million for each plaintiff. Hewitt and the three other firefighters testified they were forced to drive a fire truck in the July 2007 parade in Hillcrest after one crew originally set to appear dropped out after their driver had a sudden family emergency. Hewitt was promoted to captain last February. Several jurors said they were split in many different ways and could not get the nine votes needed to answer any of the lawsuit's claims, such as the severity of the harassment and the relative hostility at the parade. Along with Hewitt, John Ghiotto, Chad Allison and Alexander

any of us are on a constant quest to achieve beauty from the inside out. And why shouldn’t we want to be beautiful and feel great?
But somewhere along the way it seems that we have gotten lost on the trail of plastic surgery and quick fixes. I would just like to remind us all about exercise. It is one of the most effective and straight forward beauty aids but has sadly fallen into the shadows. You know that feeling of invigoration when you exercise consistently? And how your skin glows with the flush of circulation and movement? And how your muscles feel delightfully alive? Too many of us have forgotten those feelings and it’s time to experience them again. There is no better way to nurture your health and beautify your body. Make the choice to invite exercise back into your life and watch how every bit of your being radiates.

ior the firefighters said they witnessed. Deputy City Attorney Maria Severson told jurors in closing arguments the city cannot be responsible for comments made by the public and the city cannot regulate how someone dresses while participating in a parade. Severson argued the firefighters claimed they were sexually harassed but that none of them said they were touched by any parade spectator. "For me, I feel it was a win because we stood up for what we believe in," said Ghiotto after the mistrial. "It was never about any money from the city. It's too bad we had to go this far."

NEWS DREDGING CONTINUED FROM Page 1
oceanic swell erosion also move sand into the bay. Urban storm drains and particles in the atmosphere put a less significant amount of sediment into the system. Sand leaves the bay when tides push it through the entrance channel. Dredging as well as shoal and beach maintenance also remove sediment. Mission Bay is also home to 856 acres of eelgrass. The plant serves as a fish habitat and provides shoreline stability and microbacterial benefits, Merkel said. “It’s a pretty big deal,” he said. Asked how eelgrass can be preserved, Paul Jacob of the city’s Park and Recreation Department said the plant cannot be avoided in the
dredging process. The question, he said, is how to mitigate any damage. Due to coastal regulations, for every acre of eelgrass destroyed, 1.2 acres must be planted, he said. The city has no immediate plans to dredge, Merkel said, and has not determined a timeline for any future projects. Noting that there is some shoaling in areas, Merkel said that most of Mission Bay shows little evidence of sediment deposits. Over the past 10 years, the bay has gained 483,880 cubic yards. While that sounds like a lot, Merkel said it amounts to an average accumulation of .16 of an inch over 2,299 acres. The sediment accumulation is not dangerous, according to Merkel. The majority of the bay, he said, is in the 12- to 6-foot range. “That’s pretty much what you expect,” he
said. The Mission Bay Master Plan, a blueprint for park development, currently does not identify dredging as a capital improvement project. The committee has long been concerned with how it will fund wetlands restoration, improved bike trails and other improvements outlined in the master plan. To that end, the committee believes more of the roughly $50 million generated annually by SeaWorld, the park’s hotels and other lessees should go toward capital improvement projects. The Mission Bay Park Initiative, which would funnel the lion’s share of park revenues back to Mission Bay instead of the city’s general fund, will be on the November ballot. “It’s a very important issue,” MBPC chairperson Rick Bussell

said. The committee plans to discuss the initiative at its Oct. 7 meeting. The location will be announced. In other MBPC items, Capt. Shelley Zimmerman of the San Diego Police Department told committee members that overall beach crime dramatically declined this summer. In addition to recent statistics from the Fourth of July and other busy beach holidays, the MBPC reviewed the results of a comprehensive bathymetry study at its Sept. 9 meeting at the Santa Clara Recreation Center, 1008 Santa Clara Place. “The summer was very familyfriendly,” Zimmerman said. Though several million visitors hit San Diego’s beaches, “every day was a relaxed atmosphere,” she added. The Fourth of July, the holiday that has been at the center of the
9
beach alcohol debate, saw a “huge reduction” in citations, Zimmerman said. According to the Northern Division captain, police made 10 felony arrests this year, compared to 23 in 2007. Misdemeanor arrests resulting in jail were down from 145 in 2007 to 56; misdemeanor arrests resulting in citations dropped from 799 to 404. In 2007, police sent 112 individuals who were drunk in public to detoxification centers. This year, 33 people wound up in detox. Traffic citations went from 600 to 234, parking citations from 1,669 to 326 and vehicle impounds from 98 to 40. Memorial Day and Labor Day showed similar trends, said Zimmerman. “These are remarkable numbers that give us a snapshot of how family-friendly the summer was,” she said. “This year was night and day.”

Breast self-exam is an important step a woman can do herself as part of a regular breast health routine. “Clearly, a significant number of breast cancers are found by the patient herself, even in the setting of a normal mammogram,” says renowned breast cancer surgeon, Ernie Bodai, M.D., F.A.C.S. “The Liv Aid greatly enhances a woman’s ability in detecting an abnormality, which in many cases will lead to early detection and a better chance for a cure.” Non-members can get a free Liv Aid when they come in for a complimentary Fitness Assessment.

St. Francis Day Attracts People and Pets Pets of Point Loma and Ocean Beach once again gathered for a blessing and celebration of St. Francis Day on Saturday, October 4, at All Souls’ Episcopal Church. The pets’ people were invited, too, where they visited and learned more about the care of animals from representatives of the Humane Society and the Foundation for the Care of Indigent Animals. The event also hosted representatives from other groups dedicated to the needs of humans. “People always think of St. Francis in connection with animals,” said the Reverend Mike Russell, Rector of All Souls’, “but his main focus was actually on the poor and caring for them. He was such a great soul he brought blessings to everyone, even the animals.” Mary Polonitza, of The Peninsula Shepherds Center, a local organization that provides support for seniors, added, “For many seniors pets are like family, and taking care of them is really important.” Everyone, including the pets, enjoyed the complementary snacks. The children liked the balloon animals made by Boffo, the Clown, from Looney Dooney, and the bird ambassadors from Bird Crazy.

Mirroring a college football roadtrip schedule, members of the Granite Bay High School squad boarded an airplane Friday, bused to PLHS for a walkthrough in the afternoon and flew home after the Saturday afternoon game. It seems too bad the San Diego State University (SDSU) Aztecs were away. The CIF-Section defending champions from Sacramento might even have beaten SDSU in the evening to wrap up their weekend. “We always want to schedule tough teams for our non-league games,” said PLHS head football coach Mike Hastings. “You can’t say we shy away from anybody. They came down here. They are fundamentally a very good football team; well-coached and disciplined. There’s a reason they are ranked in the top 25 in California.” Unlike the previous week against Mira Mesa High School, the PLHS squad seemed cohesive and composed, even when mistakes were made. The players and coaches had high spirits and were positive. Junior tight end Jordan Sparkman (14) had some big receptions and is showing his formidable skills this season.

They went hard for four quarters and did their best.” With star running back Leslie Rogers out for disciplinary reasons, Gemmill — a junior — was given his first start of his varsity career in the running back position. He made the most of it, spinning past and through defenders all afternoon, surprising players and spectators alike, many of whom made comments about Gemmill’s previously unknown abilities. “I did my best, ran as hard as I could,” said Gemmill. “It felt really good to be out there. We are still coming together as a team, getting better each week.” When junior wide receiver Davis Callejon scored the Pointers’ sole touchdown on an 11-yard pass in the fourth quarter, the team and coaches congratulated him as if the Pointers were still contending for the win. Seeing the coaches on the field giving high-fives put the game in perspective for the players. “I felt like our team was falling apart there in the second half,” said Gemmill. “We just couldn’t put together a good drive and we let them score 14 points real quick. We gotta get it together and come back hard in two weeks. We need to get into the second level, break

If anything, the San Diego Chargers proved Sunday that Miami’s upset of New England nearly two weeks ago was no fluke. The Chargers became the second straight upset victim of the resurgent Dolphins, losing 17-10 in Miami. The usually explosive Bolts were held to their fewest points since the end of the 2005 season, when they scored only seven points a game in consecutive losses to Kansas City Anthony Cromartie watches as the Chargers give one away to the Miami Dol- and Denver. San Diego came into the game leading the NFL with 34.5 phins on the road Sunday. San Diego has dropped to 2-3 on the season. PHOTOS BY DON BALCH | THE BEACON points per game. Miami running back Ronnie Brown was up to his old tricks, taking a direct snap and running five yards for a touchdown to give the Dolphins a 17-3 lead in the second quarter. Brown had 24 carries for 125 yards, while his counterpart, LaDainian Tomlinson, was limited to just 35 yards on 12 carries. expires 10/31/08.

Gonzalez sets NFL record: Kansas City’s Tony Gonzalez passed Shannon Sharpe as the all-time receiving yards leader for tight ends on Sunday. Gonzalez caught a 6-yard pass in the first quarter against Carolina to set the record and finished the game with 10,075 career receiving yards at his position. Sharpe had 10,060 career yards. Shanahan disappointed: Former Oakland Raiders coach and current Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan had some fun last week at his weekly press conference after Raiders owner Al Davis fired Lane Kiffin as Oakland’s coach. “I was a little disappointed, to be honest with you,” Shanahan joked. “When you take a look at it, I was there 582 days. Lane Kiffin was there 616 days. So, what it really means is that Al Davis liked Lane more than he liked me. I really don’t think it’s fair. I won three more games, yet he got 34 more days of work. That just doesn’t seem right.” SEE CHARGERS, Page 13

A touchdown catch by wide receiver Chris Chambers — acquired from Miami last season — provided one of the few bright spots for the Chargers in their 17-10 loss to the Dolphins on the road. San Diego’s defense was off its game and the offensive unit again failed to mount any real substantive threat during the first half of the game. The Chargers now host the New England Patriots on Sunday. DON BALCH | THE BEACON

Fleet Museum’s IMAX theater nears full circle BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | THE BEACON
If you didn’t get a chance to see “Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure” at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center’s IMAX-dome Space Theatre in Balboa Park, you’ll want to save the above photo for posterity. Not only was Sept. 3 the last day it played, the date also marked the theater’s closing for what looks like the next three and a half months. “Creating Possibilities, Inspiring Tomorrow,” a campaign to revamp the venue, has begun. IMAX-format presentations are set to resume in mid-December, and they’ll feature a new screen, sound system, seating and carpet (it should be noted that the Fleet is also maintaining a preview center, where visitors can have a look at the changes taking place). But from technological and historical standpoints, the improvements are hardly typical. The Space Theater, after all, was the first of its kind throughout the world and has remained virtually unchanged since its construction in 1973, even as tapes morphed into discs and digital sound and video exploded onto the scene some 15 years later. The process is called compound curvature, the latest technology to accommodate the IMAX format. It took some time to catch up with the rest of the world – refinements in aluminum manufacture now enable construction of seamless screens. The technology, said Fleet executive director Jeffrey Kirsch, “looks simple to us, but it’s not sim-
ple to an engineer to get the screen panels to match. That was the major step forward.” “The [advance] may seem all of a sudden, but there aren’t that many people stepping up to the plate to rescreen domes. We’re very excited. This is going to be several steps up in quality. We’re raising the bar, and we will be at that point the state-of-the-art theater for IMAX domes in the world.” IMAX – short for Image MAXimum – is a Canadian creation that uses much larger film stock, run sideways through the projector, and allowed image display of greater resolution than conventional film systems. San Diego’s screen is 76 feet high (as opposed to the normal 50), yet the building itself inadvertently absorbed much of the stereo sound. The new digital sound equipment will circumvent the problem, Kirsch said. “We were the first theater,” Kirsch added, “so we had the oldest, and we let it age the longest. I really didn’t want to change it until there was a clear step change that would make people say, ‘Oh, wow’. Otherwise, it’s too costly.” The cost of the project is estimated at $20 million. And, Kirsch added, the dome replacement is only the first of three phases. “A strategy hit me about a year ago,” he explained. “If we tried to do everything at once and go totally digital at the same time that we changed the dome, we would be creating a huge obstacle in showing people what we mean when we say ‘pristine picture’ on the dome. Second of all, how would we
Like the sea monsters it showcased recently, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center’s IMAX Dome theater is seriously out of date. A $20 million renovation project has begun that will close the theater until at least December and will include COURTESY PHOTO | THE BEACON installation of a digital sound system and a first-of-its-kind seamless dome.
know how well the digital’s going to work until we can see what the tried-and-true technology is going to do on the dome? When we looked at the state of projection technologies, our advisors were not convinced that everything was ready to go to provide sufficient resolution. We decided to go one step at a time instead of try to do it all in one swoop. The next step, Kirsch said, is to assess the evolutions of technology and business models that will take
the industry to the next level. “That will be something like multipleprojector capability located in the center of the dome. That will put us in the major leagues of full dome planetarium and video.” Today’s digital cameras reproduce reasonable images made up of 3,000 pixels, or dots of color. In order to replicate that digital experience on an IMAX screen, Kirsch said, some 64 million pixels are involved. “Right now,” he said, “we’re looking at one-fourth of that for the next step. That’ll be great. That’ll be a beautiful picture. But it still will not be as good as IMAX is
today.” Starting in about a year, Phase II projects will include the installation of a state-of-the-art, full-dome digital projection system that will augment the existing IMAX projector. The full-dome video projection technology will take the Fleet Science Center’s planetarium shows to a new level and allow the Fleet to present other high-definition multimedia video productions that explore scientific topics and entertain with music visualizations, children’s programming and more.

Tankless is Green If you could save money, extend the life of your water heater, help our environment and never run out of hot water again; would you? If your answer is yes then Tankless Water Heaters are for you.
USE LESS ENERGY Currently the United States is the world's largest energy consumer in the world, and for that reason is also the largest source of global warming pollution. The U.S. emits more carbon dioxide than China, India and Japan, combined. 25% of the carbon dioxide pollution produced by the U.S. comes from fossil-fuel burning. By switching to more energy efficient appliances and equipment, we can reduce the demand for electricity and cut carbon dioxide
pollution from power plants. When it comes to water heating, you won't find a higher performing and highly efficient unit than a Noritz tankless water heater. By eliminating stand-by heat loss alone, energy consumption can be reduced 20% to 30%. Did you know if every tank heater was replaced with a high-efficiency Noritz tankless water heater, North American society alone could annually save; 290 million gallons of fuel oil, 164 million gallons of propane, 6 billion hours of kilowatt electricity.
PRODUCE LESS WASTE It is estimated that 7.3 million traditional tank-based water heaters are disposed into landfills each year in the United States. Keys to preventing the production of

- F R I E N D LY
waste are to practice the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. With a Noritz tankless water heater you can be sure that the 3Rs are in place. REDUCE The most effective way to decrease waste is to prevent it in the first place. Purchasing durable, long lasting products is a means of waste prevention. With a Noritz tankless water heater you can rest assured that you will be getting an extremely durable unit. The average tank water heater has a lifespan of 8-10 years, but a Noritz tankless water heater can last 2-3 times longer.

about replacing the entire unit if there's a malfunction. Just repair the damaged part and your unit is as good as new. With a tank water heater you're more than likely going to have to replace the whole thing. RECYCLE Recycling turns materials that would otherwise turn to waste, into valuable resources. The main components of a Noritz tankless water heater are recyclable, so there will be a significant decrease in waste materials from a Noritz unit.
GLOBAL WARMING REUSE Reusing a product may actually be more beneficial than recycling, because it doesn't require any reprocessing before it can be used again. Every part on a Noritz tankless water heater is replaceable, so you won't have to worry
With the ever growing concern over the threat of Global warming, the time to take action is now. While it's hard to predict the full-scale impact of Global warming it is feared that if measures aren't taken to reduce it within 10 years, catastrophic impacts may be
inevitable. By taking a few simple steps in reducing greenhouse gas, we can all make a difference and reduce the effects of Global warming.
CO2 EMISSION By reducing the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere we can reduce the effects of Global warming significantly. A Noritz tankless water heater is 83%-93% efficient so it reduces over 700 lbs. of CO2 per year. This reduction compared to a tank water heater greatly reduces the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere, and greatly reduces the effects of Global warming.
