Effort launched to recall District 2 Councilmember Campbell By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

An effort to recall District 2 City Councilmember and Council President Dr. Jennifer Campbell has been officially launched. Recall supporters now have until early June to collect 14,421 signatures – 15% of District 2’s 96,140 registered voters – to qualify the measure on a special election ballot within six months. District 2 includes Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Point Loma, Mission Beach, and a portion of Clairemont. The impetus behind the Campbell recall drive stems largely from her stands on two politically potent issues: a compromise proposal she’s offering on short-term rentals. And her support for Ballot Measure E passed in November 2020 removing the 30-foot height limit in the Midway District. “At a time when the City is facing a budget deficit, a small group of individuals are trying to force San Diego residents to spend over a million dollars for a recall that might be held a few months before a regular election in 2022,” Campbell said. “They may disagree with my policy, but don’t pick the pockets of our neighbors and communities who are suffering through a pandemic and a recession to pay for a special election.” Campbell’s compromise shortterm rental plan is scheduled to be

heard on Feb. 23 by the full City Council. An environmental challenge seeking to overturn E was filed back in August 2020 in San Diego Superior Court. Reacting to the recall, Campbell’s chief-of-staff Venus Molina said previously: “It’s so disappointing because the people who are trying to recall us are the same people opposing us on short-term rentals; a fight they will never win because that ship has sailed. We cannot ban them. We cannot make them illegal. And they say, ‘If you won’t ban them, then we don’t want you.’” Added Molina: “I can only imagine the class-action lawsuit we could probably encounter if we actually tried to remove that business opportunity from so many operators. I’m pretty sure Expedia and all the different Airbnb platforms would come after [the City]. The people pushing for our recall, would they be willing to pay for [the City’s] legal defense, and for the repercussions, the City will face if they (opponents) actually do what they want us to do (remove all residential STRs)?” Five neighborhood District 2 civic leaders are spokespersons for the Campbell recall campaign. They are Cathie Umemoto of Pacific Beach Town Council; Kevin Hastings, vice-chair of Ocean Beach Planning Board; Mandy Havlik of Peninsula Community Planning Board; Eric

‘I support this recall effort because I don’t see a light at the end of that tunnel.’ Kevin Hastings, vice-chair of Ocean Beach Planning Board Cullen of Clairemont Community Planning Group; and Gary Wonacott, former Mission Beach Town Council president. Hastings gave an example illustrating why he supports the recall. “The City came to the OB Planning Board with an expensive replacement of a wheelchair ramp some accurately referred to as the ‘million-dollar ramp to nowhere.’” he said. “OB Planning Board wanted the City to re-imagine the ADA access and offered up superior (and likely cheaper) alternatives. I and other board members approached Campbell about appealing the project. Rather than entertain the idea, she demanded we drop the appeal. Her staff even resorted to threats: ‘We’ll declare you a rogue board’ and ‘you’re done’ if we didn’t drop the appeal.” Added Hastings: “She disregards community groups, and the only issues she’s led the way on were a complete 180-degree turns to long-standing interests of D2. I support this recall effort because I don’t see a light at the end of that tunnel. It would be irresponsible to let Campbell finish out her term in council.” Havlik supports Campbell’s recall

believing she is not adequately representing District 2. “She sold out District 2 residents by signing a memorandum of understanding with Expedia allowing for short-term vacation rentals in residential areas without meaningful community inputs,” she said. “Then she solicited the community and local D2 community groups for inputs ‘after’ the memorandum was already signed effectively negating community inputs, even though several local community groups and planning boards opposed the proposal. Additionally, Campbell campaigned against short-term vacation rentals before she was elected. After she was elected, she changed course.” Added Havlik: “She supported Measure E even though a majority of residents on the Peninsula voted against Measure E. She took this position after special-interest groups donated over $200,000 to the yes on Measure E campaign. Finally, I question her ethics in pushing through initiatives that will radically change the City for decades to come during a pandemic, when a majority of residents are unable to participate in the political process.”

COLDWELL BANKER W

Wonacott met Campbell during her campaign and was unimpressed. “I came away concluding she had no grasp of the issues and seemed to have trouble articulating any of her political positions except in generalities,” he said. “It became immediately obvious that she was avoiding venues requiring her to state positions. After six months of excuses that she was still coming up to speed, she disappeared altogether. She has not responded to calls and letters from her constituents in Mission Beach, who, left with no other alternative, have had to sue the City to get her attention.” Added Wonacott: “She has refused to engage with her constituents on any level, lacking even the most fundamental socio-political communication skills. She chooses to diagnose and come up with therapies for community problems relying on special interests who know how to coddle her. And when confronted by a frustrated group of residents, her reaction is to ‘storm out.’ She has simply been a no-show, and now, she needs to go.”

COMMUNITY 4 Peninsula Shepherd Center programs helping seniors stay connected FRIDAY · February 12, 2021

THE PENINSULA BEACON

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

The continuing mission of the Peninsula Shepherd Center is to help seniors keep doing things for themselves. And it is the mission of executive director Lisa Nokes to ensure that Peninsula Shepherd Center provides a support system so that older adults, age 60 and beyond, can live independently and self-sufficiently in their own homes. The center also provides opportunities for seniors to learn and socialize. “Peninsula Shepherd Center is a coalition of service organizations, local churches, and community groups dedicated to serving the senior population,” said Nokes. “We are dedicated to keeping seniors independent, active, and in their homes as long as possible. We have found that, by trying to keep people in their homes, that they’re so much more vital, engaged, and that they want to do things on their own.”

Added Nokes of engaging seniors: “We do this by providing a number of programs. The one we’re best known for is our Out and About senior transportation program, which combines vans and private cars taking seniors grocery shopping, to hairdressers, medical appointments – wherever they want to go.” There is an annual fee of $65 per year for unlimited rides in the transportation program, added Nokes. Peninsula Shepherd Center seniors live in San Diego neighborhoods of Point Loma, Ocean Beach, and Midway/Sports Arena. The 60-and-over population represents 18.1% of the total population in these neighborhoods, significantly higher than the San Diego County average. Peninsula Shepherd Center also offers the only senior lounge in Point Loma and OB located inside the All Souls' Episcopal Church at 1475 Catalina Blvd. Seniors are able to stop by and work on a puzzle, play a game,

socialize with others, and use computers. They can also come in and gain information on community resources and various senior services offered throughout the Peninsula. The lounge is open Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Nokes noted Peninsula Shepherd Center is free to Peninsula seniors age 60 and over. Seniors must be 65 years old to qualify for the transportation program. PSC has been especially engaged in aiding seniors during the ongoing pandemic. “Isolation is a tremendous

concern, especially for seniors, with terrible physical and emotional consequences,” Nokes said adding: “We work very closely with all of the senior organizations in San Diego. Banding together, we’re a member of the San Diego Senior Community Foundation. It is probably the foremost organization dedicated completely to making the lives of seniors better.” Nokes said COVID has also forced Peninsula Shepherd Center to become creative in providing senior services. “The programs that we had before, we had to adapt them to

On Feb. 6, Mi Sueno held its first surfboard donation drop-off for three hours. The foundation put

people being in their homes, and to create new programs,” she said, citing an example. “We have a new program called Peninsula Shepherd Center Connections Through Technology. We take computer tablets out to folks, train them on how to use them, then link them up to their church or the library so they can be independent. We’ve taught them how to use email and they love getting pictures of their grandchildren. It has been a wonderful, freeing experience for these folks to be able to feel some connection.” Nokes added Peninsula Shepherd Center’s programs have also gone remote hosting things like Zoom bingo and chat, where people can dial in to talk and share their stories. “During the recent election we had a group of people on Peninsula Shepherd Center chat and all we did for three weeks was go through the ballot initiatives,” said Nokes. “People love to be connected and talk to each other. We just had a Zoom slideshow presentation by someone who has visited all 59 national parks and it was stunning.” Concluded Nokes of Peninsula Shepherd Center: “We’re really trying to help seniors help themselves.” the word out that it was looking for surfboards size 5 feet to 5-feet 4-inches long that were in good condition with fins. “If you have a surfboard that fits these criteria please consider donating it, as it can remarkably change the life of a young child,” said Mi Sueno in promotional materials. “We said that the first 15 people who came to the shop to donate surfboards would get a shop T-shirt and a $25 gift certificate,” said Cole. “This was a test run, our first time doing it. We’re actually thinking of rolling out a couple more phases in the next couple of months incorporating skateboards, fishing rods, boogie boards, any type of board equipment. “We’re hoping to increase the number of our available surfboards and skateboards, get people to donate the ones that have been collecting dust in their garage, and donate them to change the lives of kids,” continued Cole. “In later donation drives, we may be asking for boards longer than the shorter 6-foot-long ones we’re asking for right now.” Cole described the Feb. 6 surfboard drop-off as “fantastic,” noting he collected 16 boards bringing his total collection of those donated to 27. Concluded Cole: “The most important thing is we’re going to continue to reach out to all facets of the community for donations every year. It doesn’t have to be just from Point Loma or the beaches, but from all of San Diego. We want to get people willing to donate to change a grom’s life. It’s all about the kids.”

Thirty Ocean Beach businesses recognized at OBMA awards ceremony The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association held its annual awards celebration online on Thursday, Jan. 28, to highlight local businesses who made “Lemonade out of Lemons” during 2020. “Ocean Beach MainStreet’s membership is full of small businesses who continuously give back and enrich Ocean Beach,” said Denny Knox, executive director of the Ocean Beach Mainstreet Association. “The annual awards celebration usually gathers everyone together for a night of food, fun and awards which we look forward to every year.

Shanghai Bun offers Chinese take on tapas By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Nancy Qu always wanted to own her own business. She just never imagined it would be a restaurant, having had little prior experience. But when Westy’s Bar & Grill at 1029 Rosecrans St. became available, she took on the challenge. “I came here (U.S.) for grad school on a full scholarship,” said Qu, a Chinese native. “I was studying communications, then went to business school before getting a job as a marketing analyst. I’m a bit of an entrepreneur. “I’m a foodie by nature. I love food. But the only experience I had was working one month one summer as a waitress at an Asian buffet.” Qu moved to San Diego with her husband where he got a job with Qualcomm. She had been working for three tax seasons at Intuit Turbo Tax when the Westy’s opportunity arose. “I wanted to buy a business and that one was close to where we lived,” Qu said. “We bought this business and made it Chinese. I know the Point Loma area, and there really isn’t a Chinese restaurant that’s not fast food, isn’t Americanized, and promotes

Chinese culture.” Though the ambiance of Qu’s restaurant, Shanghai Bun, is Chinese, it’s subtle and not overt. “You can create this ambiance where people can enjoy their food and cocktails and not have it seem like they’re in a Chinese temple,” she said. “My restaurant doesn’t shout out Chinese. I don’t have decorated lanterns or a big Buddha or a big fish tank. I just wanted to bring Chinese food to the Point Loma community.” Noting there are eight different regionally based Chinese cuisines, Qu decided not to

concentrate on any one. But rather, she struck out to find a way to introduce her customers to all of them. Qu found the answer to accomplishing that goal employing a cross-cultural model. “Right before I started the business I took a Mediterranean cruise to Europe and I was in Barcelona, Spain,” she said. “They are famous there for their different tapas (small plate appetizers). So I thought, ‘People may not want to come in and order big plates. Why not try Chinese tapas?’” On its website, shanghaibunsd.

com, the eatery’s cuisine is defined as “authentic Chinese cuisine and a fine-dining experience from small-plate tapas, to big-plate regional favorites, to delicious sweet treats.” Shanghai Bun’s menu offers a wide array of beverage and cocktail selections including a rich wine list and specialty cocktails with an Asian f lair. Additionally, 14 craft beers are on tap focusing on local breweries as well as featuring trendy seasonal favorites. The reasonably priced menu includes a Shanghai Bun sampler,

various potstickers, pork, and shrimp dumplings, shrimp and pork shumai, shrimp noodle rolls, wontons, an assortment of egg rolls, scallion pancakes, beef bulgogi tacos, duck and pork sliders, sticky rice with chicken, steamed spareribs and custard buns, among others. Qu is happy with her career shift. “It’s definitely the biggest challenge I’ve encountered in my life, and I’ve experienced a lot of changes, she said. “Finding staffing was the biggest challenge. But I’ve built this business and I love working with my staff now of about 10.” Of being a restaurateur, Qu said it not only complements her personality but fulfills her. “The customers are really a big draw for me,” she said. “When I used to sit in a corporate office, you don’t get that relationship with your clients. But now I get to talk to people and know their stories and get to know them as people and about their families. You build that relationship. And it really makes you feel good when someone tells you, ‘I love your food.’ That’s really a compliment to me.”

Colorful new maritime mural debuts at Liberty Station Arts District By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

A computer software engineer by trade and a muralist by avocation, one of James Armenta’s impressionistic works now graces a wall in Liberty Station Arts District. The untitled piece, in the wa l kway bet ween Moni ker General and The Presley restaurant, merges classic nautical iconography. It uses maritime signal f lags f lanked by dazzle camouf lage to communicate a message to viewers. “They (NTC Foundation) did not give me any strict guidelines,” said Armenta of his latest mural. “They just said, ‘Our slogan this year is anchored in hope.’ Let us know how your concept ties into this.” The graphic artist took it from there. “I developed some 100 variations in design and colors, different permutations, dozens of designs,” Armenta said. “Then I whittled it down to five and sent them the proposal. They allowed all the stakeholders to put in their opinions before choosing one design.” For many years maritime signal f lags have been used as a system of communication amongst vessels.

Armenta replied, “Absolutely. I spent so much time at Liberty Station. I grew up there in a way.

context I could play with, not only with the formal Naval Training Center, but about Point Loma in general.” Of how he articulated his nautical concept, Armenta noted: “It was old versus new. This old abandoned area that has now been revitalized with all these new businesses, people and a community.” Armenta said the symbolism he came up with for his mural “used really bold, geometric kind of simplified forms.” The artist took about four days to paint his mural, varying the color tones used in standard nautical design. “Nautical flags generally are red, blue, yellow, black and white,” Armenta said. “I didn’t want to do the traditional colors. So I adapted them, made them a little more modern. They’re a little bit richer, much more vibrant and energetic, updated for the times and the context.” Added Armenta of his mural painting: “It’s a long, drawnout process. I do my art digitally, then I translate it. It’s really gratifying to see something I made on a tiny little laptop screen, then see it blown up to the size of a building. It’s not often you get to do something so large in the real world.” To learn more about the artist and see some of his work, visit JamesArmenta.com.

Ask The Trust & Estate Attorney Question: What happens to my minor children if I pass away? Answer: If you don’t nominate guardians for your minor children and both parents pass Shannon O’Neill Jones away, a judge will decide who your children live with. This person may not be who you would have chosen to care for your children. It will depend in part who the interested parties are and who files a petition for guardianship. It is important to have a Nomination of Guardian document that is signed by you and it is important to discuss your wishes with the person you are nominating to make sure they are on board.

WE BUILD LEADERS W H O I M PA C T THE WORLD.

Valentine's Day is near. What is there to do? Where is there to go? How best to express your appreciation for that special someone in your life? Luckily, you’re in sunny San Diego where the weather is almost always nice, even in the middle of winter. And you have innumerable choices for how to spend the holiday. Here are just a few options to explore in and around the Peninsula for doing the ordinary – and extraordinary – in celebrating Valentine's Day weekend Feb. 1214 and doing it right.

WINE AND DINE

– Winemaker-managing director Keith Rolle of Gianni Buonomo Vinters at 4836 Newport Ave. has some advice for the holiday. “No Valentine’s Day is complete without a bottle of bubbly,” he assured noting Gianni Buonomo is offering a 10% discount on their Gianni Spumante California sparkling wine, a delightful effervescent blend of 80% Pinot Grigio and 20% Viognier. “Just mention the Peninsula Beacon to get your discount,” said Rolle. The OB winery’s hours are Wednesdays through Saturdays, 1-6 p.m. 619-991-9911, gbvintners.com. – Sandy Hanshaw proprietor of The Wine Pub at 2907 Shelter Island Drive, is pulling out all the stops for this year’s romantic holiday. “We will be having live music on Friday and Saturday nights and a Valentine’s Day menu available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights,” said Hanshaw. The Wine Pub is offering a special three-course Valentine’s menu served outside that includes a glass

of sparkling wine. The first course is a choice of appetizer. The second course of entrees offers a choice between mustard glazed salmon, ribeye steak, or house-made pasta with a choice of sauce. The third course, dessert, is gluten-free lava cake with raspberry sauce and salted caramel. 619-758-9325, thewinepubsd.com.

SWEETS FOR THE SWEET

– Treat your Valentine to something extra special this year. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and Beach Sweets at 5022 Newport Ave. offers high-quality chocolates and confections which make perfect gifts for that special someone. “We have a large selection of stylish Valentine boxes and will custom design a gift box with your personal selection of our delicious treats,” said Laura Smith from the candy store. “There is no sweeter way to express your affection to those you love than with a box of our gourmet chocolates, truffles, fudge and chocolate-dipped strawberries. We also have Valentine Dog treats and gift boxes for your best friend.” 619-222-3322, BeachSweetsOB.com. – If you crave cookies, then look no further than The Cravory at 3960 W. Point Loma Blvd. on Valentine’s weekend. “We have a new line of offerings for Valentine's Day,” said owner Collin Smith. “Customers can choose from these options online (thecravory.com) or in-store in Point Loma. We ship nationwide for a flat rate $6.95 and free shipping for two dozen or more. The minimum purchase is a half dozen. Customers can call us to place the order and we'll deliver curbside if they call us when they arrive.” The Point Loma store is open 9 a.m.-8 p.m. daily (except Sundays are 10 a.m.-8 p.m.).

FLOWER POWER

“This is our Super Bowl,” said Penn Bryan at Flowers at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd. “We have classic arrangements, red roses by a dozen or two in red, white, and pink. Roses represent love and dedication. We have high-end flowers like hydrangeas and peonies. Some people go for mixes like traditional red roses and orchids. We cater to customer’s specific needs. The younger generation, they don’t really go for a lot of roses. So instead, they’ll go with more of a mix of spring flowers.” 619-223-3161, flowersofpointloma.biz.

OB LOVE CANDLES

Ocean Beach MainStreet Association at 1868 Bacon St. is getting into Valentine’s this year offering a red “Soy Candle: Lost My Heart In Ocean Beach,” available at the office or on its website. Hand-poured with LOVE in Ocean Beach, this eight-ounce soy candle by Aster Rose Boutique comes scented with rose, grapefruit, geranium, peony, amber, and musk. “These candles are organic, long-lasting, especially fragrant, and cost just $18,” said Tracy Wagner, OBMA’s operations manager. “We have them in stock at the office, or they can by ordering on our website found under OB Souvenirs. The great thing is they’re made locally by one of our artists in our farmers market, Aarica Geitner.” “I make all-natural soy candles, with one that is decorated with Rose Quartz and rose petals,” said Geitner of Aster Rose Boutique. “It is called Love Spell. All the candles are beautiful but that one would be perfect for Valentine's Day. I also make beautiful manifestation candles that have a "love" feel to them. They come with intention cards and directions.” oceanbeachsandiego.com.

LIFESTYLE THE LAST DANCE – Jean Isaacs retires from San Diego Dance Theater By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

San Diego Dance Theater artistic director Jean Isaacs is hung up her dance shoes on Jan. 31. She was honored for her 24 years of distinguished service with San Diego Dance Theater on Jan. 8 at Liberty Station’s inaugural First Friday event. The Jan. 8 tribute to Isaacs’ legacy included feature clips and excerpts from her time with the company celebrating her prolific artistry and the training she has provided to San Diego Dance Theater and the San Diego dance community. Of the timing of her retirement, Isaacs said, “I’ve done professional dancing for 47 years. Right now, I just need to take a breather.” Noting “people know me mostly as the founder of San Diego Trolley Dances, which I trademarked,” Isaacs pointed out “those trolley dances now exist elsewhere including San Francisco.” In partnership with San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, SDDT has presented Trolley Dances for more than 20 years. Created by Isaacs to make dance accessible “to the people,” trolley dances are conducted twice each fall. Tour guides lead70 to 100 audience members on and off the trolley at three or four stations. More than 50 dancers typically perform newly commissioned works addressing social justice

issues like immigration, homelessness, and climate change. Isaacs and her ex-husband, a psychiatrist, moved from Boston to San Francisco where she studied dance. The couple came to San Diego in 1971 where Isaacs’ husband completed his residency and Isaacs began working with SDTT founder George Willis. She taught technique, choreography, and improvisation at the UC San Diego, Department of Theatre and Dance for 25 years. Of her achievements, Isaacs said: “Mostly, I’m a dance maker. What I do is create work for the theater movement. Playwrights would write dances into their plays, and I would do the dance sequences. They’d write a play, I’d put in the moves. That was a big part of my career.” Isaacs is a critically acclaimed, award-winning choreographer whose work has been presented in Switzerland, Germany, China, Mexico, Guatemala, Canada, and Poland, as well as on both U.S. coasts. Isaacs is also the co-founder of the San Diego Dance Alliance, Three's Company and Dancers, and Isaacs/McCaleb & Dancers. Her work has been commissioned by the San Diego Opera, the La Jolla Playhouse, The Old Globe Theater, Goodman Theater, The San Diego Repertory Theater, the Berkeley Repertory Theater, Long Wharf Theater, and for the "New

Wave" Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. On advice she’d give to aspiring dancers, Isaacs said: “Don’t let people tell you you shouldn’t do it. Have fun with it.” Concerning the prospects for earning a living in dance, Isaacs said: “It’s hard work. You have to really love it. I say, ‘Go for it.’” San Diego Dance Theater was founded in 1972 by George Willis, professor emeritus of Dance at San Diego State University. His goal was to bring joy, comedy, and theatricality to modern dance and to train young dancers. Jean Isaacs was appointed San Diego Dance Theater’s artistic

director in 1997. Under her direction, SDDT earned its reputation as a company of professional dancers committed to unconventional and deeply courageous programming. George and Jean expanded access to the stage for dancers of many nationalities, races, ages, and physical abilities. San Diego Dance Theater is also known for cross-border projects and summer dance workshops, as well as the yearly site-specific performance Trolley Dances. Isaacs’ company is in residence at Dance Place San Diego at the NTC Promenade. She has directed the San Diego Dance Theater

Local character and comedic actor Mark Atkinson scored a supporting role in the recent Netflix show “Selena: The Series” about the late Latina singer’s rise to stardom. “My part in Selena is not huge, the show is huge,” said Atkinson, a Rhode Island native. “I guess I had the right look of a restaurant manager.” “Selena: The Series,” which is filmed at Baja Studios in Rosarito, Mexico, is a coming-of-age story about the late Selena Quintanilla’s journey to fame as she became one of music’s biggest Latino crossover artists. The show explores Selena’s path to success, along with her family, before she was murdered in 1995 and became a legendary Mexican icon whose legacy endures. Of his character in Selena, Atkinson noted: “It’s a light role. I play the boss of one of the characters in a flashback scene.” The actor feels privileged to be a part of such an important biopic. “Selena was the Mexican Madonna who was assassinated 25 years ago by the president of her fan club,” Atkinson pointed out. “I had no idea she was such a cultural phenomenon until I booked this part.” The actor came out to San Diego from the East Coast planning to stay six months. “It’s been over 15 years now,” he said. “I’ve lived in OB on and off over 10 years.” Leaving OB for Los Angeles for a short time, Atkinson studied improvisational comedy at renowned institutions The Groundlings Theatre & School, and Second City, a Chicago-based improvisational troupe with a live theater in L.A.
