Schlageter disputed the need for the new ADA project. “This new ramp would provide no improved access to anyone wanting to play with their dogs, or for wheelchair users to actually access the beach or the water,” she said. “We want to improve access with a non-permanent structure.” OBPG vice-chair Kevin Hastings concurred. He read a letter from a disabled mother complaining that the existing ADA ramp is

inaccessible, arguing against a new ramp in the same spot. “This project does not provide access to the water, but just to 100 yards of soft (impassable) sand,” said Hastings. “You (council) should go back and take community input on providing some real access there.” One wheelchair-bound ramp user living near Dog Beach testified in favor of creating a new ramp. “The grade is too steep,” he said. “I’m for having that (ramp) rebuilt. It needs to be redone.” District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell questioned staff about the project’s cost and

FRIDAY · NOVEMBER 22, 2019 THE PENINSULA BEACON

whether other alternatives were considered. Staff answered the $1.1 million estimated cost had nearly doubled because the new ADA ramp “had to be built robustly enough to keep the ramp in place once it's built.” Staff added environmentally sensitive lands nearby precluded the new ramp’s being relocated elsewhere. Commented Campbell: “The problem is this ramp is floating on the sand. We need to bring the City into compliance with state and federal ADA regulations. The City’s design will legally allow this to happen.”

“This is one of those tough ones,” said District 7 Councilmember Scott Sherman. “We have issues with ADA and laws all the time. I’ve seen people sued for a doorknob being three-quarters of an inch too high. But we have no other choice. We have to vote on what’s in front of us today.”

NEWS 4 Guerrero ordered to stand trial in four murders plus assaults FRIDAY Âˇ NOVEMBER 22, 2019

THE PENINSULA BEACON

by Neal Putnam | The Beacon

A man suspected of killing three homeless men in Mission Bay, Ocean Beach, downtown San Diego, and a woman in North Park has been ordered to stand trial on all charges including other attacks in the Midway area and elsewhere where the victims survived. The preliminary hearing of Jon David Guerrero, 42, is now over after San Diego Superior Court Judge Kenneth So ordered him to stand trial after hearing many witnesses. Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey said a possible motive surfaced in the hearing in

which an officer testified a surviving homeless victim asked his attacker why did he stab him in the face. "Because you're a bum," the officer said the attacker told him. All but one of the victims were homeless, but that remark is the only time in which someone said Guerrero said anything during the attack. Guerrero is also charged with the special circumstance of committing multiple murders and a decision as to whether he faces the death penalty or life in prison without parole has not yet been made by the District Attorney. He will get a trial date on Dec. 2. Guerrero has pleaded not guilty

and remains in jail without bail. Police detective David Spitzer testified the first victim was Angelo DeNardo, 53, who died July 3, 2016, while underneath the Interstate 5 bridge near Mission Bay. A railroad spike was hammered through his head and chest. He died from blunt force trauma and his body was set on fire. Spitzer testified Guerrero is seen on surveillance camera footage at a nearby service station purchasing a red gas can along with gasoline some minutes before DeNardo was killed. A witness saw a man running away from the scene carrying a red gas can, which was later

recovered, said Spitzer. The second homicide victim was Shawn Longley, 41, in Ocean Beach on July 4, 2016, and he was found on a sidewalk and partially out of a sleeping bag near tennis courts and a park. A railroad spike was found beside his head. The third man killed was Dionicio Vahidy, 23, in downtown San Diego. He was attacked two days later and died in a hospital. The fourth victim killed, Molly Simons, 83, of North Park, broke the pattern in that she was the only non-homeless person attacked. Harvey said the pattern was similar, however, because surveillance cameras showed a man on a bicycle carrying some type of weapon before Simons was struck in the head on July 13, 2016. Simons volunteered at a local YMCA and was walking to a bus stop around 5 a.m. when she was struck to the back of her head in an alley on Arizona Street near University Avenue. She was taken

to a hospital and died two weeks later from a skull fracture. Harvey said in court one victim, Michael Mason, survived a railroad spike hammered into his face, but he was left blinded when he was attacked in the Midway area in 2016. Mason died in July, 2019. A homeless woman was also among the victims and she survived. Video surveillance showed a man on a bicycle coming by, and the victim appears to get up only to fall down repeatedly. The attacks themselves were not captured by surveillance cameras. Guerrero was in a state mental hospital for several years after a judge found him mentally incompetent for trial. So had a trial in June on the sole issue of mental competency and the judge found him mentally fit to face the charges. When police searched Guerrero's apartment in the East Village, they found identification from two murder victims in his possession along with railroad spikes, police said.

NEWS CITY ATTORNEY OPPOSES OPIOID SETTLEMENT City Attorney Mara W. Elliott recently announced that San Diego is joining other cities and counties across the nation in opposing a proposed settlement between opioid drug manufacturers and four other states’ prosecutors. A letter stating this opposition was sent yesterday to three of the country’s largest drug manufacturers on behalf of nine cities and counties. “For too many years, we have been on the front lines of the opioid epidemic… Virtually all our families, neighborhoods, and agencies have been impacted by this epidemic,” the letter reads. “Despite this… we were not consulted about this settlement, were not involved in negotiating its terms, and were not apprised of its details… The current proposed settlement is too little, too late.” “Opioid manufacturers have profited handsomely from the human suffering they intentionally inflicted through manipulation

and deceit,” said Elliott. “Our office is committed to holding them accountable for funding drug treatment and education programs that will protect the health and safety of San Diegans.” The City Attorney’s Office filed a federal lawsuit in February 2019 against Purdue Pharma, one of the nation’s largest drug makers – and the Sackler family, which runs the company – and other manufacturers and distributors of opioids. San Diego is one of nearly 3,000 cities, counties, states, and tribes nationwide that are suing the drug companies.

City not responsible for rat-infested OB tree Added the City PIO, “People always love English ivy, until it grows damaging the host tree. We’re not responsible for outgrown of the ivy, or any pests nesting in the tree.” Santacroce said the City sent a letter to the affected tree’s property owner this week informing them they “must clean that palm tree and remove the ivy within 30 days.” Once the ivy is removed, Santacroce noted the ivy that gives rats cover there will be gone, effectively resolving the rodent problem. If the homeowner fails to comply with the City order, Santacroce said, “The City will take action to remove that ivy, and assess the damage that has been done to the tree. And if the tree has been damaged, the City will look to recover the taxpayer’s costs.”

In a recent CBS 8 article by weatherman Shawn Styles asking if the City is responsible for an overgrown tree filled with rats in Ocean Beach, the answer is no, said Anthony Santacroce, senior City public information officer. “The City is not responsible for the rat problem,” said Santacroce. “There is no City vector control services that we have apart from our own maintenance on our own buildings. There is no mechanism to come out and do vector control.” Pointing out the rat-infested palm tree at issue is on a property site that Santacroce described as “in a bit of disarray,” with the palm tree covered with English ivy, Santacroce added, “The City prohibits the planting, or augmentation, of City trees in the public right-of-way.”

San Diego named more beautiful than Madrid, Zurich, and Athens By Victoria Davis | The Beacon FLIGHT NETWORK’S WORLD’S 50 MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES

rom the best surf town to the best city for coffee fanatics, San Diego has been listed as a favorite more than a dozen times by publications such as Surfer Magazine, Culture Trip, Best Cities, and SmartAsset. In October, San Diego was once again featured in the spotlight during the Flight Network’s The World’s 50 Most Beautiful Cities campaign, ranking at No. 22, ahead of Madrid, Athens, and Jerusalem. “It’s certainly not the first time we’ve gotten recognition from editorial media or travel sites or even public opinion polls,” said Candice Eley, director of communications at San Diego Tourism Authority. “I think it’s pretty clear from anyone who lives here, that’s part of why we live here — the amazing landscapes, how diverse the city is, how you can go from the beach to the desert foothills in the span of an hour.” According to the Tourism Authority, visitors passing through San Diego spend roughly $11.5 billion every year. That amount of cash might make sense since the city also hosts 35.8 million visitors annually. Jam-packed to the brim with seaside taco shops (and trucks), breweries and beaches — not to mention the ample wine country hot-spots and historic towns — San Diego’s daytime and

nighttime activities are virtually endless. “Something we also hear a lot from visitors is how clean our city is,” said Eley, who has lived in San Diego since 2004. “For the size of a major U.S. city, it can be really a really surprising thing to visitors how nice the streets and buildings are. I think that, plus how culturally dynamic our city is, helps a lot with our reputation.” The Flight Network, which asked the opinions of more than 1,000 travel writers, travel bloggers and

travel agencies from all around the globe, raved about historic Balboa Park, home to “several different museums (as well as the famous San Diego Zoo) and tons of green spaces for biking, walking, or just frolicking around.” Eley says that while San Diego has always been known for its beaches and margaritas, in the last few years it’s starting to be more recognized for its musical performing arts and culinary expertise. “It’s something that’s been long overdue,” she said.

THOMAS MELVILLE / PENINSULA BEACON

But despite being the eighth-largest city in the country, San Diego is a surprisingly cozy, coastal, laidback, beach-goer paradise with ample fine dining and tourist attractions, from Little Italy to Old Town, to Gaslamp Quarter to La Jolla. “That’s actually part of how we describe San Diego when we’re doing marketing promotions as a travel destination,” said Eley. “We talk about San Diego being a beach-city so it’s a combination of that easy-going, coastal, chill lifestyle vibe that you’d expect from a

BOWER NAMED CHIEF DATA OFFICER As part of ongoing efforts to improve government transparency and performance through data-driven solutions, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer recently announced the appointment of Andrell Bower as the next chief data officer for the City of San Diego.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

In her new role, Bower is tasked with identifying innovative solutions to streamline government efficiency, promoting data-informed decision-making and expanding accessibility of municipal information for all San Diego residents. Bower, who joined the Performance and Analytics Department five years ago, is one of the few women to hold a

similar position for a major U.S. city. Prior to her role as chief data officer, Bower served as open data program coordinator under her predecessor, Maksim Pecherskiy, who was the first person to hold the position following Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s creation of the Performance and Analytics Department in 2014. Bower graduated from the University

OB WINEMAKER NAMED CERTIFIED WINE JUDGE

SHOP SMALL SATURDAY IN OB ON NOV. 30

The American Wine Society (AWS) recently honored the Certified Wine Judge Class of 2019 at its national conference in St. Pete Beach, Fla. Among the eight graduates, only San Diego winemaker Keith Rolle of Gianni Buonomo Vintners in Ocean Beach is from Southern California. “The biggest challenge for me was developing a flavor profile for wines that I had never heard of before, let alone tasted,” said Rolle. “I bought a number of cold-weather wines from upstate New York that I thought I might be tested on. Wines like Diamond, Seyval Blanc, Baco Noir, and Frontenac provided me with a whole new appreciation for hybrid wines.” The AWS boasts a membership of over 7,000 wine enthusiasts who participate in tasting events at 180 local chapters throughout the United States. According to its executive director David Falchek, the AWS is the only national organization that certifies wine judges. There are only 86 certified wine judges in the entire country. The certificate will allow Rolle to judge in wine competitions domestically and abroad. But Rolle also thinks that his training will impact him as a vintner. “By evaluating all these different wine styles objectively, it’s going to help me better recognize the characteristics in my own wine

Celebrating more than a century of successful small business promotion, Ocean Beach MainStreet Association, the community’s business improvement district, is celebrating the nationwide Shop Small movement by urging people to do exactly that on Saturday, Nov. 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the beach community. Guests can jump on and off a complimentary trolley during the day making trips from Newport Avenue to lower Voltaire Street. Take a photo in the vintage VW bus near Veterans Plaza. Show $75 in receipts from shopping small in OB on Nov. 30 to receive a $25 gift card from local merchants while supplies last. Or be entered into an opportunity drawing for a local gift basket. Created by American Express in November 2010, Small Business Saturday takes place annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. American Express started the shopping event to boost spending at small businesses during the holiday season and during recessionary times. Trading with locally owned small businesses saves energy and resources in requiring less fuel for transportation and less packaging. Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money available for community beautification. For more information, call OBMA at 619-224-4906.

Bird scooter representative discusses proper scooter etiquette By Dave Schwab | The Beacon

Bird micro-mobility representatives are making the rounds of local community groups giving residents a birds-eye view on proper electric scooter etiquette. “We’re giving a grand overview of the universe from Bird’s perspective,” said Maurice A. Henderson II, Bird’s director of government partnerships of his mission. “We (Bird) invented the space for scooter sharing and we were the first ones, as far as I know, in this market.” Henderson offered statistics reflecting micro-mobility’s large and growing share of the San Diego transportation marketplace. “Fifty-plus percent of our riders polled recently used scooters as a commuting tool,” he said.

“Twenty-seven percent of the trips they used to take on Ubers and Lyfts and taxis are now scooters. People are using it as a part of their commute home, as opposed to getting in their car in rush hour.” Added Henderson: “Our spike in ridership now usually starts on Friday afternoon between 3 and 7 p.m. People are now starting their weekends, Saturday mornings, taking Bird rides.” Bird is all in on encouraging its riders to wear helmets, obey the City’s new scooter regulations and to educate riders on proper etiquette and rules of the road on Bird Rides app available on iPhone and Android. Riders, to get started: Download the app and enter their credit card information, find a Bird using the map feature, bring a

helmet and wear it, tap the Unlock icon to choose their Bird, then put one foot on the Bird and use the other to give themselves a couple of pushes (like a regular scooter or skateboard). “One of the first things you see when you open our app, besides no riding on sidewalks, is the message to obey the rules of the road and to wear a helmet,” pointed out Henderson, noting, “We’ve given away 65,000 free helmets over the last couple of years. We offer free helmets via the app that you can order for a $10 shipping cost.” Concerning Bird customer service, Henderson said, “We’re an operator who actually has an operations team that’s out there.” Bird also has devised a way for riders, or even non-riders, to report

illegal scooter use to the company. “On our app, you can report to Bird when you see somebody improperly using a vehicle, inclusive of double riding, kids riding, etc.,” said Henderson. “We can then actually reach out to the individual rider on the back end. We’re trying to continually educate them (riders) on proper etiquette.” Added Henderson, “It’s a top priority for us. We want to make sure people are using the bike lanes, hoping to create a more bikable and livable community for everybody. That’s what we’re trying to invest in as a company.” Though it is true many Bird riders are under age 50, Henderson noted, “We’re seeing riders of all ages.” Pointing out Bird “has learned

from the mistakes from the beginning in fall 2017 to spring 2018,” Henderson added, “We’ve learned a great deal over that time, and we hope our operational excellence is something that’s been showing. We’re doing our best to try and distinguish ourselves.”

BLAST FROM THE PAST What’s So Special About A Community Newspaper? For nearly 40 years, the Ocean Beach community leaders recognized the importance of having a local voice for the community— a much-needed community newspaper. In this editorial dated May 1982, the writer describes this need — a way to keep the community informed of important issues. I find it interesting to see the concerns mentioned in the article were (specifically ) about Sunset Cliffs and Formosa Slough. Many years later, here at the Peninsula Beacon, we are still keeping the community informed about these same issues and more. It just goes to show that some concerns span years while new ones rise up over time. All communities should have a viable voice. One which will investigate all sides of issues, print the facts, validate and inform readers. During these divided times and changing world, I would say we need that community voice more than ever. We’re proud to be that voice for the Peninsula. Julie Main, Publisher Peninsula Beacon

Arriving at base camp in Crown Point at dusk on Friday, Nov. 15, Jim Hillmann from San Jose, in the midst of his Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk, reflected on why he returns year after year. “I’m here because my mom passed away from breast cancer in 2004,” Hillmann said, noting San Diego’s Komen Walk is the closest of the seven national regional walks he’s done every year for the past 12. Hillmann said the Komen walk is a transformative experience. “You come out here as a first-time walker, and it doesn’t take long before you realize, ‘I’m part of a bigger community, a community that is here to support each other,’ ” he said. “By the time you're done with three days and 60 miles, you’ve made connections, and now you start feeling the power of that community — and the synergy that comes from that.” The pink-themed, anti-breast cancer, three-day walk is no small feat, any way you look at it. “You’re required to raise $2,300 for every walk,” said Hillmann, adding, “And if you walk multiple cities, it’s $2,300 each walk, $16,100 for all seven.” Hillman hosts four fundraisers — a Bunko parlor game, collecting recyclables, an Oakland A’s baseball game and sales from a commemorative coin and pin —that collectively pay for all seven of his Komen walks. Hillman said, on day one of the Komen walk, which starts in Del Mar and ends in downtown San Diego three days later, that he saw a woman in tears whom he described as “overwhelmed.” “We were there to pick her up, talk with her and support her,” he added. Outfitted with a team shirt, badges, ribbons, buttons and all manner of Komen memorabilia, Hillman pointed out that it’s a real sense of accomplishment for him to walk 420 miles in seven cities over 21 days between August and the end of November. “Every time I walk, at the end, it is just as powerful as the time before,” noted Hillmann. “You’ve

accomplished something. You’ve shared your story with new people; they’ve shared their stories. It never gets old for me.” People have asked Hillman, “How can you do so many walks, and why do you keep coming back?” To that, he responds, “Because there is so much that I can get out of it. There’s a difference you’ve made, an impact.” Should more people be doing the Komen walk? “A b s o l u t e l y,” a n s w e r e d Hillmann. “When you see the impact you’re making you go, ‘Whoa, This is what it’s all about.’ By the end of day two, they’re ready to register. ‘Sign me up for year two.’ ” Concluded Hillman of the Komen walk experience: “It’s a life-changer.”

KOMEN 3-DAY WALK RAISES $7 MILLION This past weekend, more than 2,000 participants completed the journey of a lifetime at the Susan G. Komen San Diego 3-Day. Together, passionate women and men walked 60-miles over the course of three days in the fight for a world without breast cancer, raising $5.7 million. The Komen 3-Day is the longest distance one can go in the fight against breast cancer. These men and women each raised a minimum of $2,300 and walked 20 miles a day for three consecutive days, all while educating tens of thousands of people about breast health. The proceeds will support the mission of Susan G. Komen by

funding breakthrough research and efforts to ensure all people receive the best health care they need. To date, $140.7 million has been raised in the area through the Komen San Diego 3-Day. “We cannot thank our amazing 3-Day family enough for their time and dedication to this cause,” said Carrie Stovall, Susan G. Komen vice president of events. “Every step they take and every dollar they raise gets us closer to our bold goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by 50 percent by 2026. San Diego has been so supportive of Susan G. Komen and it’s always an incredible experience to host the 3-Day in this city. San Diego, we thank you!” Participants of the 3-Day have trained and fundraised for several months in preparation for the event, which fosters lifelong friendships and memories while providing the community a moving opportunity to honor those who have battled and for those who continue to fight breast cancer. Participants spent the weekend walking through the San Diego area before concluding with a moving closing ceremony at Waterfront Park. “The 3-Day is all about raising money and spreading awareness,” said 12 ½ year survivor and ninetime walker Debbie Feinberg. “Even if you can’t complete the full 60 miles, you can walk one day for 20 miles or even walk portions of the weekend, it’s all worth it because, in the end, it’s the sense of community and inspiration for survivors, those battling and future generations.”

St. Charles Borromeo Academy paid tribute to their military families on Veteran’s Day. Former astronaut “Woody” Spring led the parade (in USMC WWII jeep) and spoke at the event.

If purchased from the OBMA office at 1868 Bacon St., two ornaments can be had from any year for $20 each. “We’ve been doing ornaments since 2012,” said Denny Knox, OBMA executive director. “Each year is unique, sometimes based on history,” said Knox, of how

ornament themes are chosen. “Sometimes we just get a feeling that we have a great design.” Of this year’s theme, Knox noted: “Ashley Lewis designed the street fair shirt, sticker and the ornament. The shirts sold out and we had to place a second order, and we are nearly sold out on shirts.” Knox said all the funds raised with promotional merchandise pay for holiday decorations, beautification projects and repairs.

DOGGIE STREET FESTIVAL AT LIBERTY STATION The 11th annual Doggie Street Festival San Diego, an animal adopt-a-thon and fun pet celebration, is Saturday, Nov. 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Liberty Station at NTC Park, 2455 Cushing Road. The Festival offers pet products and services, adoption, yummy eats, vet tips, speakers, music, a kids area and auction prizes. The free event was started by San Diego-based indie filmmaker Jude Artenstein. “I was deeply affected by the 2008-09 economic crises,” said Artenstein on her website, doggiestreetfestival.org. “News stories chronicled abandoned dogs and cats left behind in empty houses – families losing jobs unable to keep their pets – shelters overflowing no

longer accepting animals. “During that time I was recuperating from a serious accident… unable to walk for months my golden retriever Scout was my constant companion. As my health improved I was eager to do something for Scout and his four-legged friends. That’s when the idea to create Doggie Street Festival was born.” Doggie Street Fest is an adoption event bringing together the rescue community with adoptable dogs and cats, providing a platform to increase adoption and educate on spay/neuter options. The event brings together veterinarians, pet professionals, trainers and health and nutrition experts to provide information and improved care, all wrapped in a festive public celebration.

COMMUNITY

FRIDAY · NOVEMBER 22, 2019 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Holiday events set to begin in Ocean Beach Ocean Beach has outdone itself preparing for the 2019 year-end holiday. This year, the beach community has pulled out all the stops, doing everything from creating its own craft brew to implementing its annual Christmas parade and toy and food drives, as well as hosting a craft fair, a home-decorating contest and a holiday auction. All of the many Yuletide events are planned and executed by OB Town Council, which also handles the annual Christmas Tree selection, ensuring the chosen tree is transported to, planted in, and decorated on the beach.

CHRISTMAS TREE

As quintessentially OB as the summer street fair, the farmers market or the mermaid, the annual transplantation of the Christmas tree to the beach near the pier will be Tuesday, Dec. 3 with the tree arriving at 11 a.m. The tree is always offered by an anonymous donor from within OB. “We do have a tree that just got chosen after being advertised on Facebook and Next Door,” said Grace Quigley, OBTC events chair. “Usually, it’s a problem tree that’s uprooting someone’s sidewalks or needs to be removed for some reason.” On the morning of Dec. 3, San Diego Police will escort the truck carrying the tree through the OB community to the foot of Newport Avenue in a special place in the sand that will be uncovered and cleaned out for it. Two days later, this year on Dec. 5, local schoolchildren will make their annual pilgrimage to the OB Christmas tree to see Santa from 9 a.m. to noon, and to add their own hand-made ornaments to hang on the tree. Quigley said this year’s selected tree is about 40-feet tall. “The kids will come down from OB Elementary School to decorate it,” she said.

OB HOLIDAY AUCTION

This marks the 40th year of the “gifting” of OB’s Christmas tree. It is a tradition that was begun by iconic OB beach business The James Gang printers. “Way back when, [OB] had a tree in a planter by the beach growing for two or three years, then it died and somebody set it on fire,” said community activist Claudia Jack. “We then moved the tree to Dusty Rhodes Park. But the tree was taken out during storms there 10 or 12 years ago. Ever since, we’ve moved it down to the beach.” The tree’s shining moment will come at 5:05 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, when its lighting commences the long-awaited OB Christmas parade. The tree remains embedded in the beach until Jan. 2.

COMMUNITY BEER COLLABORATION About a dozen brewers from major San Diego breweries got together to create a collaboration holiday beer that will be served around Ocean Beach during December. The beer will be named after the famed holiday Christmas tree that Ocean Beach hosts at the beach that famously leans to the left no matter what. Of the joint brew, Quigley of OBTC said: “It is a collaborative beer that will be named Crooked Tree, and was brewed in November at Pizza Port. It is a red IPA, and it

will be ready by Dec. 7 in time for the OB Holiday Parade.” Added Quigley of Crooked Tree beer proceeds, “It was a fundraiser this year to offset the cost of the parade and the toy and food drive.”

40TH ANNUAL OB HOLIDAY PARADE An iconic business, the James Gang Brothers printers and silk screening, has been chosen to be grand marshal in this year’s parade. “The parade is a tribute to them because they’re the ones who started this whole tradition with the parade and the Christmas tree,” noted Quigley. Quigley said they’re expecting some 112 floats and parade entries this year, for the 1 1/2-hour parade that kicks-off at 5:05 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7. The parade runs from Sunset Cliffs Boulevard down Newport Avenue, turning the corner at Abbot Street where entries will be reviewed by judges. Quigley said a special VIP deck section, with seats selling for $88, has been reserved on the Wonderland/Surf Lodge building deck where guests can have the best views and will be served snacks and beverages. “It’s premiere viewing, and the money goes back toward helping to fund the parade,” said Quigley. Jack noted that Vera the

OBTC extends an open invitation to attend the annual OB Holiday Auction, a benefit fundraiser for the OB Food and Toy Drive, at Sunshine Company Saloon on Thursday, Dec. 5 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at 5028 Newport Ave. “Two days before the parade, Sunshine Saloon will have a lot of gift baskets and gift cards donated from a lot of the businesses in town,” said OBTC’s Quigley noting “vintage” holiday T-shirts from past OB events will be among the goodies available at the auction. Town Council fundraising each year at this event allows it to adopt numerous OB families and seniors in need. Don’t miss your chance to bid on and win fantastic prizes from local businesses and sports teams. The silent auction kicks off at 5:30 p.m. and the live auction gets underway at 6:30 p.m. Those interested in donating an auction item may contact OBTC at info@ obtowncouncil.org.

HOLIDAY HOMES DECORATION CONTEST The best-dressed homes competition is the final event of the OB holiday season. Decorated homes will be judged in various categories including best use of lighting, judge’s choice, best theme and most original decoration. Winners will be recognized and presented with plaques following judging on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Fashion Jackson to open for The 1975 at Pechanga Arena San Diego’s music scene has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years, with numerous artists poised to take their music to the national level. One band that has been making particularly big waves lately is Ocean Beach-based indie garage-pop quartet, Fashion Jackson. The band, featuring Eddy Allen (guitar), Sterling Gietzen (bass), Jake Nuffer (guitar) and Shawn Gardner (drums), has released four EPs since their 2016 founding, with their debut album, “Gossamer 2,” out on Dec. 6. Their most recent single “Shiloh,” picked up significant airplay via 91X-FM, the listener reaction being strong enough to score the band an opening spot with multi-platinum selling British rock band, The 1975 at Pechanga Arena, on Dec. 5.

While Fashion Jackson is spending more and more time on the road, the band remains proud of their Ocean beach roots. “We all grew up in Point Loma/OB. Sterling, Jake and I still live in the area and Shawn lives in North Park,” Allen said. “Although it's definitely changed as we've grown up, and quite drastically over the past couple years in terms of culture, we feel really tied to OB as a community and are super proud and lucky to be a part of it.” Fashion Jackson’s touring schedule has kept the band busy in recent months. “We don't really play many shows in the area at the moment, just because OB's immediate music scene in terms of venues caters to a bit of a different audience than ours,” Allen said. “We love going to shows at Winston's and THC just to scope out the music though. We've

also done the Farmer's Market a few times over the years, which is always so much fun.” It’s a big leap going from playing the intersection of Newport and Bacon to Pechanga Arena. “The Dec. 5 show is an absolute dream come true,” Allen said. “The 1975 is my all-time favorite band. They're such a huge inspiration to us, both in terms of how they create music and the career choices they've made over the years.” He notes it’s hard to determine which part of the concert the band is looking forward to most. “I'm tempted to say that it'll be watching the 1975 soundcheck, but I think we find ourselves most fired up at the prospect of presenting the biggest and best version of our band and our music to 10,000 people.” Read more online at sdnews.com

OB HOLIDAY EVENTS

mermaid, OB’s de facto mascot who debuted with a float in last year’s parade, will again be part of the parade festivities. Jack hinted Vera has a special “surprise” in store. The OB parade commences immediately following the lighting of the holiday tree.

By Dave Schwab | The Beacon

Will my heirs owe any taxes from my estate when I die?

That depends on the size of your estate. The Virginia Weber Laskowitz (retired) & Shannon T. O’Neill federal estate tax limit for 2020 is $11.58 million per individual, or $23.16 million for a married couple, which means that there will only be estate taxes owed on any assets that you have that are over $11.58 million or $23.16 million if you are married. So, safe to say most people will not be affected by our federal estate tax regulations. Some states have an inheritance tax, a tax imposed on those who inherit assets from the estate of a deceased person, but California does not. If the deceased person owed income taxes, their estate would be liable for paying any amount owed.

Yokohama Friendship Bell on Shelter Island has interesting history By Jill Diamond | The Beacon

Philadelphia may house the famous Liberty Bell and Moscow has its The Tsar Bell, considered the largest bell in the world still in existence. But the Point Loma area has its own bell to brag about, too. Known as The Yokohama Friendship Bell, it is located at 1401 Shelter Island Drive on the southernmost cul-de-sac of Shelter Island, and it was given to the City of San Diego from the City of Yokohama, Japan, as a symbol of eternal friendship in 1958. It’s date of placement is listed as July 31, 1958, according to the Port of San Diego archives. According to the Port of San Diego archives, the bell was presented as part of the Centennial Celebration of formal relations between Japan and the United States. This gift served to mark the establishment of a sister city relationship The Yokohama Friendship Bell is located at 1401 Shelter Island Drive on Shelter Island.

Also, should you visit, near the bell is the Helen-Borshers Flowering Peach Tree, which was presented to the city of San Diego on Feb. 17, 2008 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the San Diego-Yokohama affiliation. There is also a bronze sculpture, "The Girl in Red Shoes," by Munehiro Komeno, which was placed on June 2, 2009. It's from a popular Japanese children's story, and a similar sculpture stands in Yamashita Park on Yokohama's waterfront. The plaque states that it was given to the citizens of San Diego by the citizens of Yokohama "for eternal friendship and to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Yokohama Port Opening, June 2, 1859."

HOW IT WORKS

There is no clapper inside like most bells and is instead rung by being struck with a large wooden ram that is suspended horizontally across. To ring the bell, the ram is pulled back with a lanyard and released causing it to strike the bell. The design of the Japanese Bell is Japanese and in the Buddhist style, it is open on all four sides and surrounded by a moat. You can visit the Yokohama Friendship Bell anytime as there is no admission charge.

Pointers undefeated in Eastern League, shine in CIF playoffs SCOTT HOPKINS | The Beacon

An undefeated Eastern League season by the Pointers tennis team was just the beginning as team members and individuals each achieved further success. With a 14-0 record (16-4 overall), head coach Mark Truver's girls entered Div. II CIF playoffs as the No. 4 seed. The Pointers destroyed first-round opponent and No.13 seed Mission Hills by a 17-1 margin. Next up was No. 5 seed Santana and their season was also ended by the Pointers in a 13-5 victory.

REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE 22 Historic Point Loma home once lived in by a decorated general FRIDAY · NOVEMBER 22, 2019

THE PENINSULA BEACON

By Jill Diamond | The Beacon

It may not look like much by today’s standards, but the home at 3202 Curtis St. in Loma Portal has quite the history. Built in 1928 by Chris A. C osg rove for h i s pa rent s, Augustus and Louise Cosgrove, the home was historically designated in October 2017 as the Augustus and Louise Cosgrove/ Chris Cosgrove House. Chris A. Cosgrove is considered an established master builder in the city of San Diego, and built many homes and commercial buildings around town, according to Alexandra Wallace, principal researcher at Legacy 106 Inc., based in La Jolla. Wallace was involved in preparing the now historic home’s nomination report for historic designation along with husband Kiley Wallace an architectural historian at the firm. Legacy 106 offers historic preservation and archaeology services for homeowners seeking such historic designation.

WORTHY OF A GENERAL

In 1935 and 1936, 3202 Curtis St. was rented by Marine Brigadier Gen. Herman H. Hanneken and his wife Margaret. According to Hanneken's obituary published in the San Diego Union on Aug. 26, 1986, he was one of the most decorated men in

the U.S. Marine Corps on his retirement as a brigadier general in 1948, Wallace said. Hanneken was also awarded two Navy Crosses, a Silver Star, and the Legion of Merit, as well as several other awards from nations such as Haiti and Nicaragua, she said. Author Paul Kirchner, in his 2009 book, “More of the Deadliest Men Who Ever Lived,” included Hanneken along with George Patton, Manfred von Richthofen, and Richard the Lionhearted. In fact, there is a lot of info online and in books about Hanneken, Wallace said. “In June 1920, Hanneken, then a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity for his actions in Haiti, which resulted in the death of bandit and rebel leader Charlemagne Peralte,” Wallace added. In early 1929, Capt. Hanneken led a patrol with a Mexicoborn volunteer general named Juan Escamilla near the San Albino Gold Mine in Nicaragua. Hanneken and Escamilla captured Sandinista Gen. Manuel María Girón Ruano, second-in-command to Augusto Sandino, and for the next month interrogated Girón about various aspects of the rebellion. O n Ma r ch 2, 1929, Lt .

The historic home at 3202 Curtis St. in Loma Portal was built in 1928.

Ha n neken execut e d Gi rón. Aug usto Sa nd i no eluded Hanneken, but in February 1934 was captured and executed by members of the Nicaraguan National Guard. After his actions in Haiti, Hanneken had developed a reputation as a "bandit catcher," and this reputation was further solidified after his capture of Girón in Nicaragua, Wallace said.

Besides the general, Wallace said the home has had around seven owners since it was first constructed. She said what makes it truly special is that the “ home is an excellent example of Spanish Eclectic style architecture.” And as a historian, she said she found a few things particularly interesting about the home at 3202 Curtis St.

“It was one of the first homes constructed by Chris A. Cosgrove after he moved to San Diego around 1923. He later went on to become a prolific builder in the San Diego region but also constructed properties in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and Borrego Springs. Legacy 106 Inc. had Cosgrove established as a master builder while 3202 Curtis St. was historically designated in October 2017.”
