City douses plans to remove fire pits BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON
An anonymous donor has stepped forward to help save the city’s beach fire pits, saving the San Diego tradition of sitting around a warm fire in the sand, but also leaving questions about how to pay for other city services on the chopping block. City crews started removing the concrete fire pits Wednesday, Dec. 10, before an anonymous donor pledged about $259,500 through the San Diego Foundation to pay for the maintenance of about 186 rings through the next year. Despite the stormy weather, Mayor Jerry Sanders made the announcement about the donation at the lifeguard station at the foot
of Grand Avenue in Pacific Beach on Monday, Dec. 15. If economic conditions improve, the funding could return, he said. The city has about a year to match the donation to keep the pits operating past 18 months, he said. The donation saves two city staff positions selected for elimination in the face of a $43 million budget gap the city is working to close. “It’s still our city employees out there cleaning the [fire pits]. What this does is provide a funding source for that,” Sanders said. The two-man job requires the use of a front-loader and a dump truck and takes an average of 30 minutes per pit, according to a city SEE FIRE PITS, Page 7
A story of tidal contrast for local beaches Monday’s record-breaking storm that dumped an average of an inch of rain — double that in some areas of San Diego — was preceded by extremes in tidal activity in Point Loma and Ocean Beach. Above, photographer Paul Hansen captured an exceptionally low tide around the Ocean Beach Pier on Thursday, while photographer Jim Grant snapped this shot of the other extreme washing over a sea wall during the weekend. A second storm drenched the area again Wednesday, flooding streets and snarling traffic.
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, the city’s estimated 186 fire pits have been spared for at least another 18 month. The fire pits in several communities had been slated for removal, including those in Ocean Beach, above. RONAN GRAY | THE BEACON
Navy ramps up winter shelter for veterans Sailors from Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) recently assisted Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD) in erecting its annual winter shelter for homeless veterans. More than 60 sailors from NBPL, members of NBPL’s Public Works Department and chief petty officers from the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) volunteered to set up the homeless shelter located on a storage lot of NPBL’s Old Town compound. The annual event consists of the assembly of materials used to operate a 150-person, all-male shelter facility including bunks, bedding, tables and support equipment. “It is heartwarming to see so many sailors come together and
enthusiastically assist in this noteworthy effort that provides such vital care to our veterans who find themselves on hard times,” said Capt. Paul Marconi, commanding officer of NBPL. The Navy’s five-year partnership with VVSD and the city to provide the lot for the seasonal shelter enables VVSD to focus on raising contributions to operate the shelter and not search each year for a site to place the shelter. The winter veterans shelter is not just a place for homeless veterans to sleep and eat but a place to acquire the necessary tools in order to change their lives. Careful attention is paid to each participant to determine their specific needs and homelessness-related
issues, according to Navy officials. Navy officials said once these needs are identified, participants are assigned a specific staff coordinator for their particular case management. Many of the program’s successful past participants were on hand to assist this year in the operation of the shelter. The shelter is committed to offering every veteran, regardless of service, an opportunity to become self-sufficient as well as drug and alcohol free.

Dual tragedies for PLHS students spur reaction BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | THE BEACON
The tragic death of three high school students in recent weeks — two of whom were from Point Loma High School (PLHS) — has community members grieving and rallying to cope with youth violence and loss. A car accident on Nov. 29 killed PLHS freshman Prisma Mejia, 15. About a week later, students were again rocked by news of the fatal shooting of 1 5 - y e a r- o l d freshman basketball player Michael Taylor, school officials said. Laurie Hurl, a PLHS coun- PRISMA MEJIA selor, said many students knew both victims. School staff and victims advocacy groups have been consoling students and family since then. MICHAEL TAYLOR In an event not officially endorsed by the San Diego Unified School District, community members and students from several high schools plan to walk against school violence starting at Cleator Community Park on Famosa Boulevard at 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 22. The march will conclude Downtown at City Hall, according to Alexa Da
Rosa, Point Loma High School's ASB president. The walk highlights a grim reality facing PLHS students. “These kids at our school have had two great tragedies in a row,” Hurl said. “It’s been tough.” The car accident that killed Prisma left her brother, Raymundo, also a freshman basketball player, and two other PLHS students hospitalized with serious injuries, Hurl said. Students from High Tech High and San Diego High were also injured in the accident, she said. To remember Michael, PLHS also established the Michael Taylor Basketball Scholarship. Each June the school now awards a scholarship to a varsity basketball student athlete, Hurl said. The school also renamed the December 2009 Junior Varsity Dog Pound Tournament as the Michael Taylor Junior Varsity Dog Pound Tournament in his honor. Michael was the victim of a gangrelated shooting, police said. Michael and 17-year-old Lincoln High School student Monique Palmer were shot and killed while walking away from a party after midnight on Saturday, Dec. 6, in a community near the 200 block of San Jacinto Drive, police said. Police arrested Derelle Oliver, 19, Monday night in connection with the murders. A second man, James Tyler, also 19, was arrested after turning himself in to police Dec. 9. Tyler has not been charged with the crime, said San Diego Police Department Capt. Jim Collins.
Rockin’ around the clock Loma Portal Elementary School students had an opportunity to take a step back in history with a 1950s-style sock hop on Dec. 5 in the school auditorium. The event featured the Dana Middle School jazz band, swing dance lessons, ice cream floats, Hula Hoop contest and other activities for the family.

3 Killer given death penalty in 2004 slaying of OB liquor store clerk THURSDAY

THE PENINSULA BEACON
BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON
The convicted killer who shot to death an Ocean Beach liquor store clerk and a University City mortgage broker was ordered Monday to Death Row by a judge who followed the jury’s recommendation of the death penalty. San Diego Superior Court Judge Michael Wellington signed a death order for Tecumseh Colbert, 25, during a sentencing for the 2004 slayings of Richard Hammes, 45, and Robert McCamey, 32. Wellington reminded the court that death penalty cases are given an automatic appeal before the California Supreme Court. “It is the judgment and sentence of this court that Tecumseh Colbert
shall be put to death,” Wellington said during his ruling. Hammes was a homeless man who was filling in as a clerk at the Prime Market Liquor store at 4161 Voltaire St. when he was confronted by Colbert, who was wearing a Halloween mask, on Nov. 10, 2004. Hammes didn’t give Colbert any money and instead walked toward Colbert before being shot in the chest. The store’s security camera recorded the sound of the shot but not the actual shooting itself. Colbert walked backward out of the store after shooting Hammes and fled. Colbert is from the North Bay Terraces area. McCamey, of University City, was shot to death on Oct. 29, 2004. His brother, LaBron McCamey,
Mr. Colbert, find God in your life ... because as of right now, that’s all you got left. LaBRON McCAMEY BROTHER OF MURDER VICTIM
traveled from Alabama to attend the sentencing. “I ask the court that whatever is done with this young man here that he never gets the opportunity to do this to anyone else,” said LaBron

tearfully. “Mr. Colbert, find God in your life ... because as of right now, that’s all you got left,” LaBron told Colbert in court. Colbert blamed the “broken” juvenile justice system for helping him become a criminal. “I was just stuck in a world of my own and I was mentally dead,” said Colbert, who was dressed in a green jail uniform. The judge fined Colbert $10,000 and ordered him to pay $7,483 in restitution to the McCamey family. A jury in 2007 convicted Colbert of two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy and found special circumstances that Colbert committed multiple murders during robberies. That same jury deadlocked

Though police report fewer gangrelated crimes compared to last year, Collins said incidents occurring in recent weeks have become a “concern” for the community. Another gang-related incident that occurred on Dec. 9 was not connected to Michael’s death, he said. “So when you have three murders in four days, it appears that gang violence is up,” Collins. “And obviously that’s a very short period of time to have three murders, so it is concerning.” Residents wishing to donate to the Michael Taylor Scholarship Fund can contact Hurl through Point Loma High School, C/O Laurie Hurl, 2335 Chatsworth Blvd., San Diego, 92106.
Dear Friend, Just a quick note to let you know how I can help you or anyone you might refer to me. Kristy and Ron were referred to Sandy Collins & Associates from a long term past client of Sandy’s. They shared with Sandy that they were not in a hurry to buy and that they had some very specific needs. After checking the MLS, it was explained to them that there wasn’t anything that met all their needs on the market today but it could come on tomorrow, next week or three months from now. They needed to be ready to “jump” when it did because they were in a very popular price range. They were up for the challenge! The next day the perfect house that matched all their criteria hit the market. They came immediately as promised, wrote the offer and had it accepted within 24 hours of meeting with Sandy. They have since moved in and are often spotted walking their dog with friends all around their new neighborhood, enjoying every minute of it!

over his penalty but a second jury recommended on July 7 that Colbert be executed. A co-defendant, Theron Lee Peters, now 42, of Point Loma, pleaded guilty to both murders, carjacking and robbery in April 2007 and drew two life sentences without the possibility of parole. There are more than 600 men on Death Row at San Quentin State Prison. It takes about 17 years for a death sentence to be carried out because of the appeals process in both state and federal courts. There have only been about 12 executions since 1992. Current executions have been halted by the state Supreme Court over questions about whether lethal injections are cruel or painful.

MBPC weighs in on Crown Point events, Fiesta Island plans BY SHANNON MULHALL | THE BEACON
The Mission Bay Park Committee (MBPC) gave the San Diego Humane Society the green light for its annual Walk for Animals at Crown Point Shores, but told Stay
Classy to come back with more specifics on their proposed event to help homeless youth. At its Dec. 2 meeting, the MBPC also discussed the status of the Fiesta Island redevelopment project and voted to rename South Shores in honor of
longtime park advocate Rose Marie Starns. “Rose Marie was like a glacier. You couldn’t stop her,” said Bill Evans, speaking on behalf of the Mission Bay Park Lessees Association. “No one you know who’s alive
today will have as much impact on Mission Bay Park.” In 1966, he said, the community had no sense of ownership over the expansive park. Starns organized duck and Thunderboat races, Easter egg hunts and other events that helped put Mission Bay Park on the community’s radar. No shrinking violet, she fought to get the support of the city’s mayors and councilmembers and was a champion of the park’s lessees and other organizations. “She’d arm wrestle you on a subject, but at the end of the day she’d buy you a drink,” Evans said. “After she raised her family, she spent most of her waking hours in Mission Bay Park,” said former MBPC member Ted Jardine, another longtime park supporter who opened the area’s visitor information center in 1969. “I miss her, Mission Bay Park misses her,“ he said. Stressing that the committee should be cautious about naming areas after people, MBPC member Don Peterson said he believed Starns deserved the honor. The rest of the committee agreed, voting unanimously to rename South Shores after the woman many call “the mother of Mission Bay Park.” Another longtime fixture of Mission Bay, sport fishing, could be on its way out. The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina, formerly known as the Hyatt Islandia, recently terminated its sport fishing leases. Reading from a written statement from Gary Jones of the city’s Real Estate Assets Department, MBPC chairperson Rick Bussell said that the city had determined that the hotel was within its rights to cancel the leases. Furthermore, he said, the city did not find any conflict of interests with the California Coastal Commission. “I’ve always felt sport fishing was synonymous with Mission Bay,” Bussell said. He would like the committee to later review the situation in more detail. Bussell also wants to schedule a staff meeting and workshop on how to implement funds Mission Bay Park will receive as a result of the passage of Proposition C. Under the 30-year charter amendment, lease revenues in excess of $23 million – an estimated $5 to $12 million annually – from SeaWorld, The Bahia Resort Hotel and other Mission Bay Park commercial properties will go to the park instead of the city’s general fund. An additional 25 percent, or $2 to $4 million, will go to Balboa and other regional parks. The proposition’s passage is a rare bright spot for the Park and Recreation Department. To compensate for a $43 million shortfall, the city is considering cutting staff and closing several libraries, including the Ocean Beach and Clairemont branches. “I personally am done approving any cuts to the Park and Recreation Department. The city needs to find its money elsewhere,” Bussell said. His comments echo the message of a letter the Park and Recreation Board sent to City Council. The council recently voted to give $4,000 to KTU+A, the firm handling the Fiesta Island redevelopment project. In August 2006, KTU+A presented a redevelopment proposal for the vast island based on the Mission Bay Park Master Plan, an outline for park development that City Council and the California Coastal
Commission approved in 1994. That plan does not designate areas for dogs, but public workshops in 2006 and 2007 revealed that dog owners are one of the area’s largest and most vocal user groups. KTU+A has created several alternatives to accommodate dogs. Members of FIDO (Fiesta Island Dog Owners) concerned about possible conflicts between dogs and paddlers have requested that a consultant look further at other locations for the boat users. Councilwoman Donna Frye suggested a contract amendment that would allot $4,000 to KTU+A for that purpose. It is unclear how much work can be done for that amount, said Paul Jacob of the Park and Recreation Department. He believes the council will probably have to pass another contract amendment to cover the scope of the project. Ironically, Fiesta Island is not an ideal venue for the San Diego Humane Society’s annual Walk for Animals. The area does not lend itself to dog walking because it is less than ideal for strollers, said Dr. Mark Goldstein, president of the San Diego Humane Society. Dogs would be forced to walk in sensitive wildlife areas, he added. The committee voted to allow the Humane Society to return to Crown Point on May 2 for its 15th annual event. Dogs are not normally allowed in the area, but committee members agreed that the organization has cleaned up after their pets and left the area in good condition. Committee members were less comfortable with Stay Classy’s Elemental Experience to raise awareness of youth homelessness. The philanthropic social networking company proposed a walk through Mission Bay Park, with an estimated 500 participants, followed by a music festival with ten to 12 bands on Ski Beach, expected to draw roughly 5,000 participants, to take place in May. Organizers also planned to hold a recycling initiative prior to the event. MBPC member Mort McCarthy, representing lessees other than hotels, summed up many committee members’ concerns when he said, “There are too many to-bedetermineds.” Security had not been hired and too many elements were missing from the application, he said. McCarthy also wanted to hear from the event’s benefactor. Other members also expressed concern about who exactly would be receiving what portion of the profits. Amplified noise and the potential impact of a crowd of 5,000 on Ski Beach also were discussed. Committee member Richard Miller, representing the Sierra Club, also expressed concern over the recycling drive, specifically how electronics and toxic materials would be disposed of. Saying he had enjoyed previous Stay Classy events, member at large Gregg Peterson recommended organizers start off with something smaller instead of the combined walk, music festival and recycling initiative. Though many committee members liked the concept and spirit of the event, they decided to table the matter until Stay Classy could return with a more comprehensive version of their proposal. The MBPC will hold its next regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6, at the Santa Clara Recreation Center, 1008 Santa Clara Place.

Apollo 8 crew: NASA, you have a problem BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN | THE BEACON
Retired Navy Capt. James Arthur “Jim” Lovell, the central figure in one of the nation’s most harrowing space-program dramas to date, has a spot of trouble counting to 10. He hits 5 without missing a beat; then the call of duty intervenes. A sound tech’s voice-check request is thus satisfied, just not quite in the way he expected. “5-4-3-2-1. I’m an old astronaut,” Lovell deadpanned. What can he say, y’know? Come to think of it, Lovell, 80, doesn’t have to say anything ever again, at least certainly not in his own defense. He’s an American hero dozens of times over, with a list of accomplishments that stretches to — well — the moon and back. As chief of the fateful Apollo 13 mission in 1972, he and crewmembers Jack Swigert and Fred Haise drifted between here and eternity, frantically trading their crippled command module for a clunky lunar vessel never designed as a rescue craft. His plaintive “Houston, we have a problem” signaled a four-day, seat-of-the-pants trek home and an avalanche of fervent prayer from a spellbound Earth. In fact, if it weren’t for the crew’s heroism, last Dec. 11 may well have been a very different day in Balboa Park. That’s when the San Diego Air & Space Museum welcomed Lovell, retired Air Force Col. Frank Borman and retired Air Force Maj. Gen.
William Anders for a special memorial in its own right. The Apollo 8 mission, on which the three became the first to orbit the moon and to witness an earthrise, would commence 40 years ago this Sunday, Dec. 21 — and even as man would walk on the lunar surface seven months later, this program would set the stage for that event. The decades have sealed the men’s deep personal bond and, when it comes to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), fueled their disillusionment. But make no mistake: These guys are among our bravest, brightest and best, their humility and good humor coloring their place in history (just don’t force a Borman-Anders debate about whose earthrise picture has the more lasting impact, or things could get mighty ugly). Time magazine may have named them its Men of the Year in 1968, but the public mind did the mag one better. “You saved 1968!” read a telegram to Borman from somebody he’s never met. And maybe, just maybe, they did. “[Apollo 8],” Lovell said at a museum press conference, “accomplished something that gave an upbeat sense to the country after a rather tumultuous year of assassinations and riots. The Vietnam War was going on. We were able to help honor President Kennedy’s commitment to getting a man on the moon before the

end of the decade. I think those were the things that were the most significant about the flight of Apollo 8.” “Agreed,” Borman, 80, added. “In that order, too.” Anders, 75, had a different take on the mission’s significance. Vietnam had spawned lots of creative means to avoid the draft – and for him, Apollo 8 was maybe the most innovative of all. “One of my lines,” the Grossmont High School grad quipped, “is [President] Clinton only went to Canada. We went all the way to the moon.” Truth is, Bill was going to school in Great Britain at the time and opted for student deferments. He’d return to the U.S. in 1970, not long after Apollo 12’s Charles “Pete” Conrad Jr. became the first man to hit a golf ball and dance on the moon. The Apollo program would end with its 18th mission in July of 1975, when NASA was a child of 17, and featured a docking with a craft carrying two Soviet cosmonauts. Budget constraints would spawn various reshufflings and flight cancellations along the way. And while NASA has triumphed in many respects since then and touts a 2009 budget of $17.6 billion, the men are quick to point out the agency’s colossal shortcomings and the reasons behind them. “This country,” Anders grunted, “has become so tangled in its own underwear that it can’t do anything. It can’t even fight in Iraq without a bunch of lawyers getting [involved]. And the risktolerance level at NASA has gone way down, mainly because they’re not really accomplishing much.” “It’s true,” Lovell added. “The

Rady identifies top 10 holiday hazards for kids Trauma experts at Rady Children’s Hospital remind parents this holiday season of potential hazards for children. The following are the top 10 hazards identified by trauma experts: • Potpourri petals and pods (Children are attracted to the fragrant scent and can try to eat the ingredients. Poses a choking hazard.) • Candles (Many times lit candles are placed on decorative runners during the holidays. Children can pull the runner and be burned by the hot wax or, worse, start a fire.) • Alcohol (Even though it tastes bad, children will drink it. Can cause poisoning.)
• Cleaning supplies (Kids can get under the sink in a guest's home and find toxic cleaners that look like apple juice and sports drinks.) • Vitamins and medications (Children vitamins are often colorful and taste like candy. Too much of a good thing can be dangerous.) • Purses and handbags (Visitors, like grandma, can leave their purse open to curious kids who might find her heart medication.) • Tiny toys (Despite warnings and advisories, some toy makers still manufacture toys with tiny parts that can cause a child to choke.) • Tree ornaments (The shiny objects attract attention from little

Batteries for presents, like watches, are often present under the tree.) • Stuffed animal parts (Many times the plastic eyes or nose of a stuffed animal can pop off, posing a choking hazard.) A toilet paper roll can be your best asset to prevent a child from choking. If the item fits through the hole, it's small enough to choke a child. — Provided as a public service announcement by Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego.

family fun like some kind of teatotaling grinch, what is their plan for it? A tax reprieve? Highly doubtful. America’s Finest City. No fun allowed. — Footnote from letterwriter: Just a couple of days after this was written, an anonymous donor supplied enough funds to support the fire pits for 18 months. Fantastic! The question is, what happens after that? Furthermore, why can’t the city afford the measly $173K a year to keep them? Fire a city councilman or two and use their salary to cover it. Preferably in particular the Grinch, whose best thinking was to take the fire pits from our kids. Ben Harness Point Loma

Friends, students and people interested in studying at Word-Wide ESL Institute or WordWide Language Tutoring Center are welcome to visit. Word-Wide ESL Institute has had many English students graduate since B. Rose Anderson purchased Silvergate Academy in March 2007 and changed the location and name of the school, but this marks the first student to arrive in the country as a total beginner in English and successfully pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in less than two years. TOEFL is required of all foreign students for entrance into a United States college or university. Word-Wide ESL Institute is a nationally accredited, post-secondary school authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students for English studies. Many students have attended for shorter periods of time or have transferred in from other English schools to complete their English studies at Word-Wide ESL Institute. The institute has a high rate of achievement amoung these graduates and consistently advises most of its students to enroll in area colleges, including Grossmont, Mesa, SDSU, USD and UCSD. This December's graduates are the first Word-Wide ESL Institute students to apply to and be accepted for enrollment by Palomar College. Both Word-Wide ESL Institute and WordWide Language Tutoring Center are located together for a dynamic environment to promote world peace through language education. "When you grow your language, you grow your mind for world peace," Anderson said. For more information, call 619-222-6411, or e-mail study@wordwide.us.

Kennedy [Space] Center today anyway,” Borman said, “because of the environmental impact. [The contractors] went down to Florida and cleaned it out and I’m sure killed alligators, and they got it done. Now, you can’t even build over here in Ramona without putting radio collars on rats! It’s nuts!” Today’s NASA, Anders said, faces the biggest impediment of all – a diminished level of public endorsement. “Forty years ago,” he explained, “the farmer in Iowa was willing to put his tax money into beatin’ those dirty Commies. He didn’t really care that much about the money and the science. Now, even if the tax expenditure were adjusted for inflation, we couldn’t go to the moon again because of the congressional view on the budget and the lack of political support.” But in 2004, the Bush administration hawked the idea of a return to the moon, with George himself advocating a lunar landing by 2015. “In my view,” Anders said, “President Bush doesn’t really know what he’s talking about. Somebody’s got him to use the moon as a steppingstone to go on to Mars, if that’s even possible. And he’s not funding it, so to me, it’s a hollow promise. “What we ought to be doing is quietly going back to the moon… not because we’re trying to beat the Chinese or the Indians. We want to go back as human beings, not as Americans, to use whatever the moon can be used for, for radiotelescopes and that kind of thing -- not to go back to find heli-
um-3 and a bunch of rocks and all that other stuff.” “The reason we stopped [the moon launches] at [Apollo] 17,” Lovell added, “was people thought the risk was too great. But I think that by going back to the moon, we can reduce the risk as we improve our hardware to get there. We can make it not something that’s momentous but something we expect to do over a period of time.” The Challenger and Columbia disasters. A Martian orbiter that managed to disappear. The messy Lisa Nowak love-triangle case. Last year’s 3.2 percent budget cut by Congress. A massively overexpensive shuttle program. NASA is feeling some real-world effects unheard of a generation ago. And Michael Griffin, its administrator, has responded accordingly. In a Dec. 11 letter Anders furnished to The Beacon, he lauded NASA’s Apollo-era brass for its independence in its project decisions, expressing doubt that today’s political climate would inspire the same commitment level. “I really don’t think,” Griffin wrote, “that NASA’s current leaders, people who in my judgment are every bit as capable as those of the Apollo era, would be allowed by our various [congressional] overseers to make… equivalent decision[s] today. And until and unless we as a nation can again understand why it is necessary that great enterprises be executed in this fashion, I fear for our nation in this tough and competitive world.” Sobering talk from the agency that put men on the moon, undermined Venus’ persistent cloud cover, put two cantankerous little rovers on Mars and in effect charted man’s path to interstellar travel. But Jim Lovell, Frank Bor-

man and Bill Anders are part of history in spite of it all. The world stopped in its tracks amid their Christmas eve readings from The Book of Genesis during lunar orbit; it covets the breathtaking earthrise photos that are forever a part of popular culture. And it chuckles at Borman and Anders’ little flap about the pics’ places in our consciousness. Borman took the first photo, in black and white, with the Earth peeking over the lunar horizon; Anders followed with a color shot of a much more prominent home
planet. “That picture I took,” Borman trumpeted, “is one of the most famous in memory.” “Little dark,” Anders quietly shot back. “Little unsteady. You’ll notice mine captures a lot more light and color and vastness, the sheer vastness of space. A lot.” And they’re off. “Wasn’t [Nowak] a Navy astronaut?” Borman quipped, prompting Navy man Lovell to pull an imaginary trigger in Borman’s direction. “I don’t believe in UFOs, and I never saw one in space;

that’s a buncha crap,” he churred, again squelching the rumor that he’d run across one during a Gemini flight in 1965. “Frank had to go to marriage counseling before [8],” Anders deadpanned. “I call him Frank, but he can call me ‘sir.’” “Go ahead and call him ‘dipshit,’” Borman snorted, waving dismissively in Anders’ direction. “That’s what we all do.” “Would you record that, please?” Lovell chimed in. Anders just smiled. Sort of.

soccer and started a variety of sports camps through the rec center. Brisco is also optimistic about the return of his senior leadership this year: Axel Anderson, Buddy Machado, Ben Nease, Zerrick Rivers, Marquell Specks and Robby Tartre. Starting point guard Ben Nease, however, has been sidelined with a twisted ankle but the other seniors have made important contributions in the young season. Tartre leads the team in points through five games at 21.8 and leads in most three-point field goals per game (2.5) and assists (3.8).
Defensively, Anderson and Specks are tied for the team lead with 17 defensive rebounds. Anderson leads the team in steals per game with 3. Newcomer Jon Gaymond has also contributed with the most blocked shots per game with 1.5. During the offseason, the Pointers were moved from the Eastern League to the Central League, where they will compete with Christian, Clairemont, Coronado, Crawford, Kearny and Madison high schools. “We believe we are in contention for a league championship this year but it will be tough,” Brisco said. Point Loma will have almost a month to get ready for league play when they begin as host to Christian on Jan. 6.

drawing should be wrapped and valued under $25. “Bring your gift by the café by the 19th so you can pick up your number on the 20th. The more people come, the merrier,” Maria said. The lifesize Santa and flocked Christmas tree are the first hints that Maria’s Café is not your usual marina deli, which often sells humdrum sandwiches and minimal boat supplies. Watercolors and oils by local artist Caroline Braun line the walls, while jewelry handcrafted by daughter Crystal Yakkey fills glass cases. Ornamental jars of vegetables sit atop wrought-iron racks, along with typical marina necessities. Maria, a former Barona Casino food and beverage manager, runs her shop with abundant support from John and their five daughters. Never intending to open her own restaurant despite a hankering “to do it right” for herself, Maria spent 40 years in kitchens and restaurants, starting as a child at her Italian grandmother’s stove. She had retired from overseeing Barona’s restaurants following a near-death cancer experience and was helping John restore their 1971 Pacemaker motoryacht. She watched in frustration as several deli operators cycled through Sunroad with the same failing formula. Maria pondered what was missing. “Suddenly, I was sitting in (marina manager) Scott MacLaggan’s office discussing what I thought we needed here: a full restaurant. In a moment of insanity, I came out of retirement and

opened this place,” she said. After gutting the drab old deli, installing a professional kitchen and coffee bar and creating a colorfully decorated café offering indoor seating, Maria opened her doors on Aug. 1, thanks to the hard work, determination and the construction talents of her family, who volunteered their labor. She hired a staff of students with a passion for cooking and learning the business and taught them her techniques, recipes and restaurant survival skills. Among them is recently promoted sous chef, Pricila Cedillo, 19, who came from Mexico to San Diego to study English at City College. She plans to draw on her newly gained culinary and workskills training to open a restaurant in her native Chihuahua. During construction, the Yakkeys explained their vision for the café to marina tenants. They planned a menu of freshly made “comfort foods” using locally sourced ingredients based on Maria’s traditional Italian family recipes, focusing on breakfast and lunch. Dinner specials are offered most weekends. “I’m a great believer in giving you too much rather than not enough. No one leaves my restaurant hungry, ever,” she said. Many travelers headed for nearby Lindbergh Field stop to provision themselves with generous omelets or sandwiches, knowing they won’t go hungry on their flights. Since breakfast is a specialty at Maria’s Café — particularly her new Italian sausage omelet filled with ricotta cheese, spinach and mozzarella and served with home fries and toast — Maria takes special care in selecting her eggs. A frequent sight at the marina café is a Ramona egg farmer in his elderly pickup, delivering a fresh

It’s a real asset not only to the marina but also the whole east end of Harbor Island,” he explained. He encourages residents to enjoy a meal while watching the new America’s Cup trimaran go out for its daily sailing trials. “Sitting at Maria’s Café, you can get a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” he said. Maria’s Café, Deli & Market is located at 955 Harbor Island Drive on east Harbor Island.

For Schiele, perhaps the most important part of the album’s title is the tag — “Volume One.” “I guess you could say that means I’m optimistic, enthusiastic and extremely confident about the album,” he said. “I have a lot of faith in the project. I consider it a gift to Ocean Beach. This album is intended to ‘document’ our future music history.” Schiele declined to give the names of artists committed to the project, but he promised a variety of genres.

And for that hour we play, I hope RodenTT brings people back to the time in their lives when the San Diego and Los Angeles scene was full of crazy times.” RodenTT performs on Friday, Dec. 19 at Dream Street, 2228 Bacon St. at 9 p.m. The show is for those 21 and older.

Otherwise, I’d do something else,” joked Schiele. “We have more venues now than ever, and we’ll get more. When I look at Newport Avenue, I see famous music thoroughfares like Sixth Street in Austin or Beale Street in Memphis or Bleeker Street in [New York]. “It is my personal mission to get Ocean Beach on that same musical map. We are a seed growing toward that oak,” he said.
