PB bank bandit pleads guilty, out on bond

DID SHE SAY YES?

Upset with PB parking? Parking Advisory Board looking for your input

By NEAL PUTNAM The “Deposit Slip Bandit,” who robbed a Pacific Beach bank by writing his demand note on a deposit slip, has pleaded guilty to one charge and was released on bond. Sened Beyene Michael, 22, agreed to pay back all three banks he robbed for a total of $10,037, according to court records. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 28 before U.S. District Court Judge Roger Benitez. Michael has posted $30,000 bond and lives with his parents in Emerald Hills. He could face a 20-year maximum sentence in federal prison, but a shorter sentence of five years or less is more in line with federal sentencing guidelines. The first robbery in the series occurred Nov. 28, 2016 at 3 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Bank at 1302 Garnet Ave. He wrote “I have a gun,” though the teller did not see one, and he left with $3,912. Other robberies occurred at a bank on Federal Boulevard and in Chula Vista. Michael pleaded guilty to the Chula Vista robbery and won’t be charged with other robberies on condition he pay restitution for the others.

Residents: Less is better for Fiesta Island By DAVE SCHWAB The less redevelopment the better. That was the takeaway from dog owners who packed a May 23 scoping meeting at Mission Bay High School to hound the city about what they'd like — and not like — to see with long-range master planning on Fiesta Island. Fiesta is a huge peninsular manmade island on Mission Bay with fire pits, dog parks, endangered bird sanctuaries, youth camps, various water sports and 27 miles of beach including a 90-acre off-leash dog area. The city is kickstarting its longdelayed public process for planning the future of Fiesta Island, defining two options, A and B, in its recent public notice on resuming the Fiesta Island planning process. "Option A" would divide the area with a road and reduce access for off-leash users."Option B" would keep the area intact and increase the fenced, off-leash area. Prior to the May 23 pooch pow wow, Debra Madden of Fiesta Island Dog Owners (FIDO), a communitybased nonprofit with more than 14,000 members dedicated to preserving Fiesta Island's leash-free recreation area, weighed in on the city's reboot of long-term planning for the popular recreational island. “We don't want an amphithe-

ater,” said Madden, FIDO spokeswoman. “This is the third planned amphitheater. They've got one in the dog space on Fiesta Island.” Madden noted the Fiesta “experience” is “unlike other parks where you just stand around or sit” in a park setting, but rather is an active park where people walk, jog, run or cycle alongside their pets. “You can't be out there looking at the dogs, the ocean and the clouds without feeling refreshed,” confided Madden. FIDO was created in 2006 as a response to a massive development plan unveiled then by the city, which originally proposed removing or moving the leash-free dog area. Fiesta Island went off-leash after the city in 1972 passed an ordinance “prohibiting dogs on all of its beaches in San Diego County, with the exception of OB Dog Park and Fiesta.” City and park planners on May 23 said the scoping meeting was being held to receive public input on what Fiesta Island users wanted in terms of possible improvements, as a prelude to the environmental impact review process the city is conducting. The end result of that process is to amend the Mission Bay Park Master Plan to incorporate any publicly desired Fiesta Island improvements.

One city official noted Fiesta Island has been divided into quadrants, adding the island is crisscrossed with trails and roads. The official added a grading plan is proposed for the island to “reduce silt flowing into the bay.” A notice of preparation for an EIR for proposed Fiesta Island redevelopment went out May 9. Once the eir is complete, there will be a 45day, formal public comment period, to be followed, ultimately, by review and support or opposition by the San Diego City Council and the California Coastal Commission of any changes proposed, if any. Following the scoping meeting, FIDO praised the workshop for its “great turnout.” The group also released a statement noting that, “though there is considerable interest in leaving things the way they are, this [Fiesta off-leash] area is not currently recognized on city plans as a dog park. … So it is imperative that we get this plan process completed and adopted.” FIDO is on record as favoring Fiesta Island planning Option B. About a year ago, Fiesta Island was nominated by the pet-friendly travel website BringFido.com, beating out nine other dog parks from around the country to receive the Reader's Choice Award for “Best Dog Park in America.”

City approves funding for roundabout at Foothill Blvd. and Loring St. By DAVE SCHWAB Relief is on the way for Pacific Beach residents on Foothill Boulevard, who just found out funding for design and construction of a longsought-after roundabout at the dangerous Foothill/Loring intersection has been approved in the city's 2017-18 budget. The good news came recently during the City Council Budget Review Committee, as the Transportation and Storm Water Department announced funding has been approved for construction of roundabouts in the budget at Loring and Foothill Boulevard, along with three others on Crown Point Drive. "We have funding for design of all four of the traffic circles, including three planned for Crown Point Drive and the one on Foothill/Loring," said Linda Marabian, the city's deputy director of transportation engineering. “We're committed to finishing (all of) it. So, in the coming years, we will be allocating funds for these projects." Funding is expected to arrive by August, with roundabout construction completion possible by 2018, Marabian added. A major push for the Pacific Beach roundabouts was made by District 2 Councilmember Lorie Zapf.

‘We have funding for design of all four of the traffic circles, including three planned for Crown Point Drive and the one on Foothill/Loring.’ LINDA MARABIAN DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Zapf thanked PB residents for turning out at the council committee hearing, noting, "I know it's a big deal to come downtown, find parking, and come up here. It's not a small thing, and we understand that and appreciate your efforts." Both Zapf and Marabian said the involvement of residents along Foothill Boulevard and in the Crown Point area was a critical factor in the approval of the traffic-improvement projects. Foothill residents have been trying since at least 1993 to get their concerns about excessive speeds and other dangerous conditions on the street addressed. In 2014, residents again got involved when Foothill's posted 25 mph speed limit signs were unexpectedly changed to 30 mph. Virtually every resident on the street signed petitions, and the Pacific Beach Planning Group backed their demands that the 25 mph signs be restored. The Pacific Beach Planning Group

also asked that traffic-calming measures be installed along the twisting road, where traffic regularly hits speeds far exceeding 25 mph. Community activists Jeffrey S. Rosan and Thomas Coat, who've been lobbying for years for traffic improvements on Foothill, were elated about this recent turn of events. “I have lived on this street for 30 years,” said Rosan. “Many of my neighbors who wanted to see something such as this happen nearly 30 years ago (not an exaggeration), have passed away. It is my prayer that, when this is built, it works in a way to reasonably reduce speed and allows vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians the ability to finally cross at this intersection without feeling like an untimely death is just around the corner.” Rosan noted the new roundabout's design “Will incorporate a method to take the run-off which pools at the base of Foothill and Loring (or turns into a river during big rains) occurs. Now if we can just get

more cops to enforce our speed laws … who knows … it could happen.” Noting traffic on Foothill Boulevard “has always been bad and is getting worse,” Coat pointed out Foothill is a “major connecting street” between Pacific Beach and La Jolla. “The street is very dangerous, curvy, and has elevation changes,” said Coat adding, “We went to the PB Planning Group and they backed us.” Coat gave kudos to councilwoman Zapf for “making this a priority item in the 2018 budget so we can finally see some action on it.” Coat added PB residents are still looking to install other traffic-calming measures on streets west of

Foothill Boulevard. “There's not a single crosswalk on the entire street (Foothill) from Beryl to Fanuel,” Coat pointed out. The announcement that the roundabout at Foothill/Loring will be built is the first step in the trafficcalming process. It is hoped that additional traffic-calming measures will follow. Those could include an additional roundabout at Vickie/Foothill, lighted crosswalks, electronic speed limit signs and smaller barriers to control speeds. Roundabout design work also may seek to solve drainage issues that cause flooding at the Loring/Foothill intersection following storms.

Mission Beach asks for funds to combat flies By DAVE SCHWAB Mission Beach activists are lobbying to get more money in the city budget for additional summer trash pickup in the community to combat fly infestation during the busy tourist season, which has become increasingly problematic. Gary Wonacott, Mission Beach Town Council president, and John Vallas of BeautifulMB, a nonprofit dedicated to MB's improvement, have both been lobbying city government to find the means — and the cash — to do additional summer trash cleanup. Last summer, District 2 Councilmember Lorie Zapf's office secured funds for a one-time additional trash pickup that made a noticeable difference in lessening fly-related problems. This year, she’s again asking for funding. “I have continually asked for the second trash pickup to be included in the budget and most recently resubmitted an updated budget memo asking for the $70,000 to also be included for the trash pickup,” Zapf said. “It is now in the hands of the entire City Council and I know many Mission Beach residents and business owners are actively engaging other members of the City Council to support this item in the budget,” she added.

A fly summit was also hosted by Zapf in MB in June 2016, bringing together MB residents, merchants and city and government officials to discuss the significant – and intensifying – summer fly infestation. In a recent letter to Mayor Kevin Falconer, Wonacott said, “We on MBTC are disappointed that Councilmember Zapf ’s number one budget priority is not in your 2018 budget. Funding was found in the 2017 budget, and as a result, the Mission Beach community for the first time in six years was free of what one entomologist described as the worst fly infestation he had ever seen in an urban setting. “We know the root cause of the summer annual fly infestation in Mission Beach – thousands of fly eggs that gestate in the garbage cans, which need to be dealt with before they crawl out and move on to their next state of development in the alleys. This is specifically what the second trash pickup does. It gets rid of the problem before it becomes a problem.” Continued Wonacott: “It does not seem unreasonable for you to add another $50,000 to $60,000 to the budget for this service given the consequences. In the meantime, we need the city, and the mayor, to put the funding for the second trash pickup back into the 2018 budget.” Wonacott previously blamed a

prior cutback, from twice to onceweekly summertime trash pickup, use of heat-absorbing black cans, unlidded, unlocked and/or cracked or damaged receptacles, as well as dumpster “scavenging” for contributing to the fly infestation problem. Some of the “fixes” are simple, Wonacott said, like putting trash in shaded areas. He added direct sunlight can increase temperatures as much as 15 to 20 degrees inside cans, which hastens flies' life cyle. Flies can go from eggs to adults in just a week under ideal breeding conditions. Vallas, in a memo recently sent to the San Diego Tourism Authority, wrote, “My request is, while we (MB) are showcasing the beach lifestyle and welcoming millions of visitors, that we increase trash and recycling to deal with our enormous tourism traffic increase in such a small-yet-densely-populated area. “We have scores of negative Yelp reviews, Health Department citations of restaurants – the flies come from the residential/vacation rental trash (in the alleys, which overflow in the summer, also increasing scavenging, etc.) and swarm people dining or even just sitting on their deck outdoors. This is a huge problem, in a small area, with a simple and costeffective solution.”

The report shows historic lows for aggravated assault, violent crime, burglary, larceny and property crime, though crime was down for all categories year over year. Earlier this year, the police department announced that the 2016 total crime rate was at its lowest level in four decades. “I am pleased to announce that during the first four months of 2017, every major category of crime decreased when compared to the first four months of 2016,” Zimmerman said.

Pacific Beach man rocks the marathon in San Diego By SAVANAH DUFFY The Rock ’n’ Roll San Diego Marathon Series has been running faithfully for the past 20 years, and so has 61-year old lawyer and Pacific Beach resident Kurt Hallock. Since the marathon series’ inaugural race in 1998, Hallock has run every Rock ’n’ Roll San Diego race. Hallock says his favorite San Diego race memory was “holding on the very first year. I was 42, had a good run the whole way and PR’d in 2:56. I trained with two fantastic runners, Larry Williams and Harvey Levine (both of whom were original investors in the race).” Another favorite moment was when two friends from Montana ran it with Hallock. “The next morning, the guy, who’s a fair runner, has his picture on the cover of the Union-Tribune. It looked as if

he was leading the race,” he said. The marathon celebrates its 20th anniversary this weekend, June 34, during which time more than 30,000 runners will be standing alongside the starting line, prepared to push their bodies as they run, jog or walk to reach their goal of the 5K, half marathon or marathon. Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series spokesperson Hilary Friedman says that 84 of those runners, including Hallock, are the returners – the ones who have run this marathon religiously since it first took place in San Diego. On Sunday, June 4 look for Hallock out on the course and cheer him on to the finish line, which should welcome him like an old friend.

Mission Bay Chiefs go from worst to first By DAVE THOMAS For one area youth baseball team, the idea of giving up on a season never crossed their minds. The Mission Bay Chiefs, made up of youth players ages 9 to 11, recently went from worst to first, showing that hard work and determination do pay off. With 11 kids on the team from Pacific Beach and La Jolla, the Chiefs are part of the Mission Bay Youth Baseball program. Team members included Joseph Crudo, Joshua Gousha, Logan Ham, Alex Harrington, Hunter Harrington, Noah Heuring, Robert Holmer, Shaun Lovett, Alan Myers, Gavin Porreca, Jovanni Rodriguez, and Reef Tusa. The season began in late January with tryouts, culminating recently with a great finish from the kids.

The event, which features live bands performing at every mile along the course, returns to San Diego the weekend of June 3-4 and will celebrate 20 years running this year. Synchrony Financial Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego will welcome more than 30,000 marathon and half-

marathon runners, showcasing some of San Diego’s most iconic neighborhoods. The races will take off from Balboa Park and travel through Hillcrest, North Park and Normal Heights before the marathon breaks from the half marathon at mile 8.

Tusa said. “Our pitching and hitting started to come together the last couple games of the season, and then we got on fire starting in the playoffs to knock off the best teams. “This was a total team effort to win every game with even our youngest and less-experienced kids making some big key plays at needed times,” he said. Tusa added that a few of the players will go on to play in the All-Star tournament, fall ball, and travel ball later in the year. “We had six great dads who helped coach this year and this was a huge reason for our turnaround, more than almost any other team,” Tusa added. “We also had some great moms who helped out too.” The local Pacific Beach sponsors of the team included Tim Tusa Real Estate, Hoboken Pizza, Rocky’s Crown Pub and SD TapRoom.

Buccaneer teams shine bright on the diamond By DAVE THOMAS

“Its double-elimination playoffs, so you can play a couple more games if you lose but we won every game we played,” said Tim Tusa, one of the team’s coaches. “We played three games to win the championship of the Mustang Division of Mission Bay Youth Baseball.” According to Tusa, the Chiefs beat the top seed in a close game of the first round of the playoffs. The second game went three extra innings until it was almost dark, with Mission Bay finally scoring the winning run to go to the championship. In the championship, Mission Bay’s pitcher nearly threw a perfect game until he had to come out with only two outs left in the last inning because he hit his maximum allowed pitch count of 75 pitches. “The kids never gave up even after losing all but one game and going 114-1 during the regular season,”

For a pair of Mission Bay spring sports teams, this past season turned out to be a hit. On the baseball diamond, the Bucs under head coach Dennis Pugh went 16-11 and finished as co-league champs with Clairemont.

Although Mission Bay did not make the playoffs due to the power rankings, it was still an overall good season. According to Pugh, this was the program’s first winning season in nearly a decade, giving the team something to build on. All-League players included Joey

Witkowski and Parker St. Germain on the first team, and Brad Palmer and Connor Bailey on the second team. Honorable mention honors went to Aiden Young. “We have six starters coming back next year, but we need to keep SEE BUCS, Page 17

Home décor by the shore and so much more at Get Hooked By DAVE SCHWAB You'll be hooked at Get Hooked, a new home décor store in Pacific Beach. Owned by Pamela Taylor, who also operates Crystal Pier Bait & Tackle, Get Hooked (named for her other business' staple item) provides a nice tie-in and complement. “It came about because I was expanding the home décor at the bait and tackle shop, which is really small,” said Taylor about her quest for a new retail space that she found at

940 Garnet Ave., previously a smoke shop. Taylor took the space over in February and repurposed it, reopening just a couple of weeks later. “We just just call it home décor by the shore and so much more,” said Taylor, noting her price range is $1 for bottled water up to about $60 for décor. “My philosophy is, have a little bit of everything,” she said. The home décor's décor is busy both inside and out. The interior is filled, floors to rafters, with a plethora of coastal goodies.

“A lot of my stuff is handmade by locals, but not all of it, because it's hard to get handmade everything,” Taylor said. “We do a lot of coasters. And all of my coasters and wooden signs are made in the USA. We try to do mostly made in the USA when we can. We have something that fits everyone as far as a sign — or a saying.” What's the hottest item in home décor right now? “Mermaids are the it thing,” noted Taylor. “Mermaids and octopi are really popular. I try to

You see more children. You see more younger adults that are making it their home, buying homes.” Taylor added, “I'd like to see a bigger turnaround where we're not

Dining

Eat clean, healthy and tasty with Mamma Mia’s new meal prep pickup By LUCIA VITI Think eating clean and healthy is synonymous with dining on bland and boring? Not with Mamma Mia’s Italian Prep Meals from the popular Pacific Beach restaurant. Boasting a “new concept” of traditional Italian cuisine, Mamma Mia’s owner and executive chef, Cinzia Mezzetti, offers the perfect balance between nutrition and taste with made-byorder, grab-and-go, home-made meals that are truly “delicioso!” Fresh ingredients and sauces smother lean meats, carbohydrates and vegetables void of artificial additives, flavors or preservatives. Not only are Mamma Mia’s Italian Prep Meals ideal for those on a weight-loss plan, but they’re spot-on for anyone looking for a scrumptious, healthy meal as well. Without compromising flavor, these low-calorie, low-fat, dairy and gluten-free clean lunches and dinners bring healthy, fresh food directly to your home or office. Touting years of experience as an Italian chef, the Pacific Beach resident crafted the novel meal plan as a result of her athletic venture into the world of bikini and body-building competitions. The statuesque beauty was forced to drastically change her food regimen in order to gain muscle mass while “leaning out.” “I had to eat clean and lean,” she said. “I cut my pasta, my pizza, my breads and sweets. All food had to be

grilled or boiled. But I’m a professional chef. I love good food. And I was not about to eat plain boiled chicken. I headed straight to the kitchen knowing that I could make even ‘diet’ food delicious.” Mezzetti worked with a nutritionist to experiment with recipes that controlled portion size, calories, fat content and salt intake – “we all need a little salt” – without sidestepping flavor. “There are no limits to what I can do in the kitchen,” she continued.

“None. I love the challenge of working with food combinations to make the food tasty and different because I eat the food.” Satisfied with a meal plan that consisted of “everything light, organic and made from scratch,” she knew her “beautiful dishes” could work for others. Mezzetti researched San Diego’s healthy to-go choices and quickly became convinced that she could offer a menu unsurpassed in variety, taste and convenience. She developed two

clean menus, one to lose and one to gain, weight. Patrons have the option of customizing their meals. “These are healthy, flavorful, dietfree meals,” she said. “You pick your quantity of clean protein and add your choice of vegetables, carbs and I keep everything balanced and nutritious. I know how to manipulate foods to keep the calorie and fat content low and the flavor high. Everything is made fresh and preservative free.” Mezzetti added that her clean

Better Buzz expands with coffee shop in Pacific Beach

BETTER BUZZ COFFEE ROASTERS Where: 1186 Garnet Ave. Hours: 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

By SAVANAH DUFFY The grinding of coffee beans and the aroma of espresso has overtaken the facilities formerly filled with the sound of dryers and scent of detergent on Garnet Avenue. The new Better Buzz coffee shop – aka Pacific Beach West, so as not to be confused with the spot on east Garnet, occupies the space where a drivethrough laundromat used to exist, according to Daniel Greig, director of coffee production for Better Buzz Coffee Roasters. The new shop opened in March, the same day the company celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their first place in Pacific Beach. “It’s a pretty big milestone for us,” Greig said. Since that day two months ago, customers have been flocking to the new location, with resounding approval of the shop’s specialty items option in the drive-thru, which can fit 10 vehicles, and the extensive patio space and the inner café that can accommodate as many as 30 customers. Better Buzz patron Abigail Carandang recently sat outside with her dog and a small cup of whipped cream on the table, the only remains of her dog’s free puppuccino (a dog treat topped with whipped cream). For her,

meal menus – “every day” and “clean” – aren’t just for athletes. “This is clean eating for busy people,” she said. “My menu, not found anywhere else in San Diego, is also good for anyone with diabetes or high cholesterol. While I designed the menus for fitness buffs, fitness is a small slice of a bigger market. Everyone wants to eat healthy, fresh and easy. I have a big kitchen and I’m ready to serve a lot of people.” Mezzetti stressed the importance of meals traveling straight from the kitchen into sealed packaging for quality control. “Anyone who orders food online has no idea who touches the food or how long it’s been sitting in a package,” she said. “My food is freshlymade and I’m the only one who touches it. My boxes are sealed. These are meals you can trust.” Food stays fresh in the fridge for up to three days. Orders can be made online and picked up at Mamma Mia’s on Balboa Avenue, or delivered for a $4.50 flat-rate fee to downtown San Diego, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Point Loma, Clairemont, Old Town, UTC, College Area, and Mission Valley.

Signature features of the company are exhibited in the greenery and succulents inlaid into the tables.

the patio is an appealing factor because she has the opportunity to enjoy the Better Buzz experience outdoors in a spacious area with her dog. But the sheer size of the shop isn’t the only thing drawing in customers. Greig says each Better Buzz shop has a spin-off of “essential Better Buzz elements,” but also has its own unique design, and this new location is no exception. From the large porch swings on the patio to the walls of the building, a

combination of white oak merged with what Greig says are the building’s original bricks, the café has a look unlike any of their other shops. Gold accents are a key aspect to the shop’s theme. Gold pendant lighting, high-top chairs and even gold accents on the single-origin espresso machine complements the wood and white tile throughout the rest of the shop. “It’s really pretty actually, I really like it,” said Better Buzz customer Hannah Lee about the interior.

Signature features of the company are exhibited in the greenery and succulents on shelves and inlaid into the surfaces of community tables, along with classic Better Buzz phrases painted on the walls, such as “Life’s Better Buzzed” and “Coffee First.” When you check out the retail corner by the cash register, you might sense a vintage theme as well. An oldschool camera, music box, typewriter and miniature high-wheel bike decorate the floating merchandise shelves,

a design choice Greig was personally responsible for. “I just think they’re fun elements, you know, to incorporate in the retail space to add interest to it. You know, ‘cause you want it to be showy, but not too showy,” he said. “I feel like they actually put in a lot of effort to the inside,” said Lee. The live-edge bar, which allows customers to essentially be inside and outside the shop at the same time, is a feature that Better Buzz customer Will Shaker said he particularly enjoys, in addition to his nitro cold brew, of course. “In terms of the vibe, I think I like this one best,” Shaker said. “They’re all chill … but this one is a bit better, I think, more relaxed.” This Better Buzz location is usually full of customers doing everything from homework to socializing – even making wedding invitations, as Greig has previously observed. The shop continues to draw in new people, yet somehow it has not taken away service from the original PB Better Buzz, according to Greig, who says most of their customers have remained faithful.

PROPOSAL >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

Austrian native Marlon Rechberger, CEO of Solpal Inc. in Pacific Beach, met Aimee Crafton (nicknamed Bärli, German for “little bear”) at Firehouse restaurant on Super Bowl Sunday two years ago. He approached the green-eyed flaxen-haired beauty because he thought she looked European. It turned out that Crafton is American, but that didn’t stop the sparks from flying between the two. They spent the next couple of years getting to know each other and falling in love. As frequent business travelers, they would often extend their trips to spend extra time with each other at each destination. Little did Crafton know, this special part of their relationship would later lead to Rechberger’s extravagant proposal.

High above the beach, while she was looking down to where he was pointing, he pulled out an engagement ring from his pocket. Rechberger wanted to incorporate their traveling history into the proposal so he enlisted the pilot of a 1920s-era bi-plane to take him and Crafton for an afternoon ride on May 12. That morning, Rechberger and five of his friends started preparing the beach for the big moment. They worked tirelessly for three hours, much longer than they originally anticipated, to get things just right. Originally, they thought it would be easy to just carve letters into the beach, letting the darker wet sand show from below. However, the sand

dried too quickly and they had to improvise with stones and seaweed. “The seaweed was the dirtiest,” Rechberger said, “You know seaweed – it smells, and there are lots of flies. Also, since it was the morning, the dogs were still allowed on the beach and they kept ‘marking’ it.” But all their hard work was worth the effort. Later that day, 500 feet above the beach, Rechberger turned to Crafton and asked her to look at the letters in the sand. While she was looking down to where he was pointing, he pulled out an engagement ring from his pocket and “put it right in front of her face where he knew she’d see it.” She said “yes.” The letters were visible for several days after the proposal, and the pilot told Rechberger that whenever he flew over them, he would tell his passengers about the romantic guy who made an incredibly lucky woman Marlon Rechberger and Aimee Crafton are all smiles after she said ‘yes’ to his high-flying proposal above Pacific Beach. very happy.

improving in all areas, as we are going into a tougher league to avoid the power-ranking fiasco we had this year,” Pugh commented. “A good incoming ninth-grade group will help get the program going in a positive direction. The whole culture of the program is being improved as we try to get back to the once-proud tradition established in years past.”

Softball On the softball diamond, Mission Bay finished a great season at 19-10-2 under head coach Vince Ichihara. The Bucs dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to La Jolla this past Saturday in the CIF Division IV championship. “We made a run in the playoffs having to come from the loser’s bracket after a tough 2-0 loss,” Ichihara stated. “We then beat No. 7 seed Calipatria 9-0, No. 2 seed Mar Vista 15-0, No. 3 seed Mission Vista 20-5, and No. 1 seed Coronado 10-2 to make it to the final.” According to Ichihara, the girls had a historic season in winning their league for the first time in 20-plus years, along with making an appearance in the finals of the San Diego City section. Mission Bay had several players make firstteam and second-team All-League. They included: Cassidy West (first-team and Pitcher of the Year), Maya Cota (first-team), Serena Castro (first-team), Cheyenne Chavez (firstteam), Paige Parkhill (second-team), Catalina Griffiths (second-team), and Keionna ValverdeFlores (second-team). “The entire team except for one senior, Jackie Macias, is returning next season, so we are very excited about the future of the softball program,” Ichihara added.
