Mission Bay schools

fight to preserve status quo

Pacific Beach Middle School student Nicole Moore displays some of her clothing items for sale at the school’s fundraising rummage and craft sale on Dec. 3. The Mission Bay High Cluster is pinning hopes on a recommendation by the San Diego Unified School District’s staff to reject a possible closure of PB Middle School in a possible consolidation move with Mission Bay High. DON BALCH I BEACH & BAY PRESS

BY PATRICIA WALSH | BEACH & BAY PRESS With San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) trustees canceling most of a special committee’s campus closure proposals, the raucous chant that reverberated across the city for nearly two months to “save our schools” was rendered nearly inaudible. Not in the Mission Bay High Cluster, however, where neighborhood parents are still raising their voices to keep Pacific Beach Middle School open and Mission Bay High School viable. Cluster parents presented a plan last week to stop a recommendation by the SDUSD that would close Pacific Beach Middle school and consolidate the middle school and high school campuses into a 6-12 international baccalaureate academy. “Parents have done an amazing job,” said Michelle Scherrer, a parent with two children in cluster schools, who addressed the school board during a special meeting Nov. 29 at the district education center. “More and more of us are keeping our kids in (neighborhood) schools.”

The two biggest issues facing the Mission Bay Cluster are low enrollment of students within its boundaries and the murky future of district-funded transportation for students brought in from outside the cluster. The parents’ plan to keep the cluster schools open is to increase student achievement with a specific focus on Mission Bay High School (MBHS) and Bayview Terrace Elementary School, and to promote local campus choices to boost neighborhood-based populations and choice populations at the high school from its current 25 percent enrollment to 60 percent enrollment by the 2015-16 school year. The SDUSD board is scheduled to act on the Mission Bay High Cluster’s recommendation at its next meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 13. Jennifer Tandy, chairwoman-elect of the Mission Bay High Cluster, said that because of the busing component that impacts the out-of-cluster enrollment figures for local schools,

Susan Norman, a longtime Mission Bay resident and grandmother of four, is 71. She is also one of only two women over the age of 70 to hold both half- and full-Ironman world championship titles within the same year. Norman took the top prizes in the 7074 age group in September at the Las Vegas half-Ironman and again in October at the Kona, Hawaii full-Ironman World Championships. She bikes, swims and runs six days a week in and around Mission Beach to keep her body in optimum shape for triathlons. At age 38, Norman’s friends introduced her to running as a sport. She attended a marathon clinic to get started with proper exercises and to began entering 10K races, which she always seemed to win. The physically demanding trend runs in her family. Her husband won the fullIronman event for his division at age 50, and her sons and daughters-in-law have all completed triathlons, so Norman figured she was just as capable. While training for what would have been her first half-Ironman competition in St. George, Utah, Norman suffered her first and only training injury in January. While biking on Kearny Villa Road, she hit a pothole and tumbled to the pavement, breaking her arm and pelvis in two places. Norman underwent months of physical, rehabilitative, sports and water therapy at Wave House Athletic Club in Mission Beach, where she likes to get all her exercises in under one roof — taking

Forced to miss the St. George race at the beginning of the year, Norman set her sights on the half-Ironman competition in Oceanside in April. Crediting her strong muscles for a swift recovery, Norman was the oldest female competitor in the race and placed first in her age division. Along with the trophy came a qualSEE RACE, Page 3

Line from Mission Beach to La Jolla once served important purpose BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | BEACH & BAY PRESS Shipping magnate John D. Spreckels used his wealth to build great hotels, expand transportation facilities, establish a business district and to develop San Diego’s cultural features. One of those features was an elaborate seaside and bayside resort at Mission Beach. An area was selected in 1922 for an amusement center, dance casino, bath house with a plunge, provisions for surf bathing, concessions, a roller coaster and a miniature San Diego & Arizona Railway system. Three years later, the carnival-like amusement center, later known as Belmont Park, opened to considerable public interest with its tent city, much like

that near Spreckels’ Del Coronado Hotel. The question of obtaining adequate transportation for larger crowds was brought to the builder’s attention. Since he operated the ever-expanding San Diego Electric Car Co., why not establish a streetcar line? First, a shuttle service with two old street cars was installed from the Ocean Beach line to a track from the defunct Bay Shore Railroad Company. This included a bridge across the channel that had been built in 1914. Eventual plans called for a new electric railroad line from Kearny Boulevard and Broadway in San Diego all the way to Mission Beach. The bridge was restructured to accommodate the consistent trav-

el. On Sept. 8, 1923, the San Diego City Council accepted the bid of the San Diego Electric Railway for the new line. In doing so, Spreckels had given San Diego one of the finest electric streetcar systems in the country for a town its size. “It was just plain business sense,” Spreckels would reflect. “The city would not grow without an abundant water supply and adequate streetcar facilities.” People in La Jolla, without rail transportation since the folding of the Los Angeles-San Diego Beach Railway, clamored for electric trains and a line extension. The old railway tracks were used to SEE LINE, Page 4

ifying slot to the Ironman world championships in Las Vegas and/or Kona. Norman chose both. This extra challenge motivated Norman to acquire a triathlon coach to instruct her on daily training — typically biking 40, 80 or 100 miles up the coast and frequently practicing the transition from biking to running. “It’s one-third mind, one-third nutrition and one-third training,” said Norman, who drinks between two and eight glasses of electrolyte-enhanced water each day, and eats lots of fruits and veggies. Norman’s hard work and training paid off in Las Vegas, where she took home first-place honors in her age division. Just four weeks later, Norman competed in the prestigious full-Ironman world championship in Kona, which calls for a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile marathon run which participants must complete in 17 hours, with a firm cutoff time of midnight. Norman finished in 16 hours, 57 minutes and 29 seconds — with less than three minutes remaining before the clock would have stopped and all her efforts would have been discounted. “Crossing the finish line was the most fabulous feeling,” said Norman. “Spectators were gathered there yelling and cheering, really making you feel special.” While nearing the finish, Norman anticipated hearing race announcer Mike Reilly say “Congratulations, Susan Norman, you are an Ironman,” like he’s been doing since the 1980s. Instead he said, “Susan Norman is 71 years old,” an announcement she has since had the pleasure of teasing him about. With this win, Norman became only the sixth woman over the age of 70 to ever complete the race.

“The last mile seemed like forever in the pitch dark,” said Norman, whose husband was a race volunteer so he could be beside her throughout the day. The heat, wind and hilly terrain made for a challenging race, but Norman laughs as she recalls her husband threatening, “If you don’t finish, you’re gonna have to go home and start training all over again instead of spending time with your grandbabies!” With qualifying slots to both of next

year’s Ironman world championships, Norman said she’ll most likely do them again — this time aiming to beat the Ironman course record for women over the age of 70. “You just have to think you can do it and never give up,” said Norman, who also won the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon for her age group six years ago.

reach La Jolla’s Fay and Prospect streets. An attractive building was built at La Jolla Hermosa for the San Carlos substation. Following the construction of the Ocean Beach substation building — with Egyptian design — a similar one was erected in Mission Beach. With the opening of the new line to the beaches, service via the Point Loma Railroad to Voltaire Street in Ocean Beach was abandoned. That section of the line would be served by buses starting in 1938. What had become an interurban line in 1924 to Mission Beach and La Jolla ended dismally on Sept. 16, 1940. Automobile traffic from an expanding population slowed this rapid transit to a crawl. The streetcars were too heavy, slow, complicated and noisy. La Jolla’s terminal was razed, the elaborate, over-crossing tresses were torn down and all the rails removed except those in paved streets. A few lines remained in other parts of the city until 1948.

there is a misconception about the quality and attractiveness of neighborhood campuses. “There was a tipping point where Mission Bay High was no longer perceived as a community school,” Tandy said. “But it is a wonderful school with great things happening.” Tandy, who has two children at Mission Bay High and one at Pacific Beach Middle School, said the perception that cluster schools are not quality nor neighborhood schools has nothing to do with reality. “Many parents have never met a teacher, done a school tour, but they make assumptions without having information,” she said. “I encourage everyone to attend a school tour.” Mission Bay High School has an enrollment of 1,437 students and is the largest user of the district’s busing services. About 78 percent of the MBHS population arrives by bus. Enrollment is comprised of 334 students from within cluster boundaries and 946 from elsewhere in the city who rely on district transportation. Another 157 students commute to the cluster on their own. “Parents have fought for neighborhood schools for 11 years,” Tandy said. “The community has locked arms and accomplished great things. My goal is to have parents trust PB Middle and Mission Bay High and learn more about all they are doing and help us build on all the good.” Tandy points to the international baccalaureate curriculum at Mission Bay High, a magnet program that is only offered at MBHS and San Diego High School. “We have the IB program at Kate Sessions Elementary, PB Middle and an IB diploma at the high school,” Tandy said. “San Diego High is impact-

Pacific Beach Middle School students are keeping things business as usual as the San Diego Unified School District wrestles with a possible closure of the school in a possible consolidation move with Mission Bay High.

ed [overcapacity]. Therefore, we want to collaborate with them to ensure the funding of the program and continue the IB curriculum in the district.” Currently, 350 students from the San Diego High Cluster attend Mission Beach High. The Mission Bay Cluster has an enrollment of 3,399 students at four K-5 schools, a 6-8 middle school and a 9-12 high school. By comparison, the Point Loma Cluster, with seven elementary schools, a 5-6 middle school, 7-8 junior high and one high school has 6,385 students. The Point Loma/Ocean Beach community staved off the district’s closure plans that would have impacted every school in the cluster except the high school. But the case made by Mission Bay Cluster officials may also be resonating with SDUSD decision makers.

“The closure of the Pacific Beach Middle School campus would be a tremendous loss to the community,” said Phil Stover, deputy superintendent of business, during the Nov. 29 school board meeting. He asked the board to table closure of the middle school based on community input. In October, the school district — on the brink of bankruptcy with a possible $100 million deficit — presented a plan to close 14 schools citywide to save $500,000 per school annually. The district’s new closure/realignment plan is no longer based on cost, but instruction and facilities. The initial closure/realignment plan has since been narrowed down to a five-point proposal, one of which targets the merger of Pacific Beach Middle School and Mission Bay High. The fate of the proposal is expected to be formally determined Dec. 13.

Go ahead! Build your fence to the sky By David Lombardi the intersection where any combination of streets and/or alleys intersect. (b) Residential Subdistricts (1) Fences and walls, including retaining walls, located within required yards except interior yards and rear yards shall not exceed a height of 3 feet.

I am writing to express my anger and frustration at the city of San Diego Code Enforcement Department’s uneven and extremely unjust enforcement of the city’s Municipal Code. Please let me explain. One of the existing rules in the Mission Beach Planning District Ordinance (MBPDO) regulates the fencing allowed in the front yards of the [residential] courts. The courts are perpendicular to the beach and keeping fences to three feet high in the front yards maintains views to the beach. This view maintenance is sacrosanct. A view of the beach can greatly affect a property’s value. The enforcement of this section of the MBPDO is very important! Please see the relevant section of the code below:

At 3959 Ocean Front Walk a wall is in clear violation of this section of the code. I have formally filed a complaint about it to Code Enforcement. They say they will take no action on the violation because they are understaffed. It is also a matter of fact that the owners … are friends with the city of San Diego’s chief of police and two of the top assistants. All have been seen socializing in the … residence. I have a rental property on Yarmouth Court and when it is vacant, I have a need to advertise the vacancy. To do so, I would hold open houses. I learned that the placement of an “open house” sign on city property is in violation of the Municipal Code because I was told so by both a couple of police officers and by [members of the] Code Enforcement Department. In spite of their supposed lack of personnel, I have been warned by the Code Enforcement Department that if I put the sign back out, I will be given a $250 citation. They are right. That is in violation of the code. Yes, on any given Saturday or Sunday, every Realtor in the city is breaking the law by putting their “open house” signs

Ch. Art. Div. 15 13 4 San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 15: Planned Districts (3-2007) Article 13: Mission Beach Planned District (“Mission Beach Planned District” added 3-27-2007 by O19589 N.S.) Division 4: General and Supplemental Regulations (“General and Supplemental Regulations” added 3-27-2007 by O-19589 N.S.) 1513.0401 Fences (a) All Subdistricts No fence shall exceed 3 feet in height in that triangular area created by measuring 10 feet along each property line from the point of

out. Do they ever get a warning or a citation? I think not. I have spoken with Assistant Police Chief Boyd Long, who states he has no involvement in the issue. He was at the … residence the day before the Code Enforcement action occurred and the two police officers showed up at my residence to tell me to remove the sign. He stated that [the owner] told him not to get involved, that he would handle his problem with my sign through Code Enforcement. Suddenly, Code Enforcement finds available staff. But that, of course, was just a coincidence. At issue here is the rights of every homeowner in Mission Beach that is not in the front row [of the residential courts]. The city of San Diego Code Enforcement Department says they don’t have the staff to enforce the fence regulation. (Even though the Code Enforcement Department person walked by the [other residence’s] violating wall on her way to my house). They do, however, have the personnel to enforce the removal of a temporary and unobtrusive sign, but not a permanently-built violation of the same code. Please help by calling Code Enforcement at (619) 236-5500 and telling them to enforce fence regulations! David Lombardi, Architect/builder Mission Beach

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PAESAN event a huge success because of involvement

Ask The Lawyer

What should I keep in my safety deposit box? Who has a safety deposit box Answer: these days? Many banks used to give them out for free. These boxes can be the appropriate place for gold, jewelry, silver, and coins so those assets cannot be stolen from your home. Stock certificates can be held in here, too. You may want to keep your Virginia Weber estate planning documents, including your Laskowitz original Trust, Wills and powers of attorneys in TRUST LAWYER the box also. I think a better storage option for estate planning documents, insu ance policies and other important documents is a fire proof box or a safe. A fire proof box can be purchased at most office supply stores. This does not need to be locked and it is not very heavy. This box protects these papers from fire and water damage, but not theft. The purpose of putting them here is that you know where these documents are located. Stock certificates should be held by a brokerage firm or financial company. These assets are lost all the time and it is quite expensive to replace them. They cannot be stolen or lost if they are being held by a company. The beginning of the new year is a good time to get organized. Let's go do it.

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Mission Bay High Cluster update: On Nov. 29, the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) staff advised the Board of Education to remove Pacific Beach Middle School from its closure list. The Mission Bay High Cluster Committee voted to pursue an alternative vision for Pacific Beach Middle School and Mission Bay High, keeping both sites open, but working toward a goal aligning with the SDUSD vision of “Community Based Schools.” The MBH Cluster Committee will now focus energies on increasing student achievement, increasing local enrollment, pursuing outside funding for programming and looking for opportunities to enhance each school in the cluster. Mission Bay High • On Dec. 8, Mission Bay High international baccalaureate school will hold a tour beginning in the high school library at 8 a.m. Meet principal Fred Hilgers and learn more about the IB program with Kris Greenwood, IB coordinator.

PB Bar and Grill is a haven for both college and pro football fans BY WALTER RUSKIN | BEACH & BAY PRESS Located at 860 Garnet Ave., you will find PB Bar and Grill. During football season, PB Bar and Grill opens it’s doors to college alumni from all over the nation that have relocated to the San Diego area. The most prevalent university alums who show up on Saturday are those from the University of Washington, University of Georgia, University of Tennessee, Kansas State University and the University of Michigan. In the event of early kickoffs, breakfast is served earlier than usual. I asked myself, “With so many different alumni groups from different universities coming to PB Bar and Grill to watch their school play football on Saturday, how does the bar decide what game should air on the television and what happens if their school is not being shown on the local stations?” There was real concern and confusion in my voice when I PB Bar and Grill is a haven for both college and professional football fans at 860 Garnet Ave. asked this, because I would hate to think that it was based on WALTER RUSKIN | BEACH & BAY PRESS a color wheel or who has the best fight song or something like

that. I needn’t have been so concerned. The folks there informed my that all games can be shown and easily viewed because PB Bar and Grill is home to more than 125 flat-screen televisions, and that everybody who wants to watch their favorite college team can do so, because the tavern also subscribes to ESPN Game Day, which airs college games being played all across America. I felt better knowing that. To think I thought that some predetermined cosmic solution decided what games would be viewed by patrons ... how ridiculous. In addition to college football, PB Bar and Grill is also a great place to see NFL football on Sundays. Locals know if they want to see the New England Patriots play football on Sundays, PB Bar and Grill is the place to be. I was also informed that not only is it a good place to watch Patriots games on Sundays, but an even better place to watch Chargers football. “I come here from East County to watch Chargers games on Sunday,” said patron Jim Erhardt.

So why do so many people travel such long distances — from La Mesa, for example — to watch football here? It’s simple, actually. The weekend football specials are amazing. On Saturdays and Sundays, PB Bar and Grill offers an all-you-can-eat breakfast. Not some crazy casino buffet where you get a scoop of lumpy, cold eggs on your plate and fight to put some toast into a toaster, but actual made-to-order items that are so fresh and hot they give you the fuel you need to root on your favorite college or pro team during the weekend. To accompany the great food, PB Bar and Grill has 32 draft beer towers pour-

ing perhaps the coldest beer in town. They feature local brewers like Stone, Karl Strauss and Ballast Point in addition to national brands from AnheuserBusch and Coors. Perhaps you’re not a big breakfast beer person. Well how about this? On Sundays, PB Bar and Grill offers bottomless mimosas or bloody Mary’s until 1 p.m. I almost forgot to mention the best part of PB Bar and Grill! Not only can you watch football inside its bar area, but how about viewing football while eating a delicious breakfast and having a bottomless bloody Mary while enjoying the San Diego sunshine outside on one of the largest patio sections I have ever seen in my life? It is so big they have a what I have dubbed “The Miniature Trevi Fountain,” where you can throw three coins into the fountain and

make a wish. I wished to hit the Superlotto, but you can make a wish for your favorite team to be victorious. PB Bar and Grill in Pacific Beach opens at 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and gives both college football and professional football fans a place where they can tailgate before the game or watch the game and enjoy postgame celebrations without leaving their table. If you have never been to PB Bar and Grill during a football game, you really are missing a true football haven.

Spithill leads U.S. to victory in America’s Cup World Series tour on SD Bay BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | BEACH & BAY PRESS There’s something to be said for a “home port” advantage. Jimmy Spithill, who spent his younger years charting San Diego’s waters, skippered a U.S.A. 45-foot Oracle catamaran to victory over the French team in the America’s Cup World Series tour last month on San Diego Bay. It had figured to be a sail-off final with the internationally-experienced New Zealanders. Instead, the kiwis settled for third place after beating Sweden. Then, Spithill closed the final weekend by taking the full-force Fleet race. The Oracle team might be remembered, too, for snapping New Zealand’s string of three wins with a breakthrough triumph in the America’s Cup

for 72-footers in 2010. It appears they’re still on a roll. The World Cup was a spectacle, unlike other weekends when billowing white sails are prevalent in varied competitions on the waters of San Diego Bay. For the average shoreline spectator witnessing this event for the first time, a rule book and assistance from a learned observer might have been necessary. Tactical turns, errors and penalties imposed along the course might have been beyond novice comprehension. The seamanship of those scrambling, acrobatic helmeted sailors keeping things in balance was entertaining theater. The AC45 boat was designed by the Oracle racing design and engineering team. At task was designing a boat that

would not only meet the racing criteria, but could also fit inside a 50-foot container, which is the shipping vessel for the racing world series. Although dangerous, promoters of the AC World Series and the America’s Cup could not have orchestrated a more effective promotional stunt. The AC45s will compete in locations around the globe. “I think this series is critical to the future of the (major) America’s Cup,” said Australian Iain Murray, regatta director and CEO of America’s Cup race management. “Sailing in the best of times is not an easy sport to understand,” he said. “For us to succeed, we must present an understandable and exciting sport on TV. We’ve got to look at how we bring the race courses into the public arena.”

SPORTS

Roundup: Mission Bay High concludes its fall sports season BY KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI | BEACH & BAY PRESS

The 2011 fall sports season is officially in the books for Mission Bay High School. The football program made a significant improvement this year with a 5-4-1 regular season record and a CIF playoff appearance after a poor season in 2010 (3-9). The Buccaneers have qualified for the playoffs every season under head coach Willie Matson since 2004, highlighted by a CIF title in 2009. Senior quarterback Nate Long was a dual threat in passing and rushing

against opposing defenses. Long completed 51 passes on 98 attempts with six touchdowns and rushed for 835 yards on 98 attempts with 11 touchdowns to average more than 8.5 yards per carry. Senior runningbacks Chris Byrd and James Phillips also contributed to the running game with 273 yards, two touchdowns and 380 yards, two TDs, respectively. Byrd led the defense with three interceptions. Sophomore Devante Kinder added 301 yards on the ground. Senior JaQuan Maydun was the leading receiver with 245

yards on 12 receptions and three touchdowns. Maydun averaged 20.4 yards per catch. Middle linebacker Isaac Griffin, another senior, lead the defense with 130 tackles and nine sacks. Other programs

• The girls’ volleyball team also qualified for the CIF playoffs with a 13-12 regular season record. The Lady Bucs made the playoffs with a victory over Morse in the final match of the regular season. A pair of seniors, Mikela Saili and Melissa

Brandenburg, had outstanding seasons. Sophomore Rachel Odermatt lead the team with 67 kills and Saili was second with 64 kills. Brandenburg finished with 16 blocks and Kyanna Tamborini was tops on the team with 69 digs. Junior Nicole Zanchetta had 208 serving aces. • Coach Troy Merkel’s boys’ water polo team finished 15-11 overall, qualified for the CIF playoffs and won a first-round playoff match against Valley Center. The varsity team was lead by five starting seniors: Brendan Daly, Shane Gilsdorf, Mikey McClle-

lan, Matt Mershon and goalie Jacob Moreland. • The girls’ field hockey team went 7-9 and missed the CIF playoffs. The girls were lead by seniors Maile Saili, Varanee Chinnapong and Leslie Espinosa. • The Mission Bay boys’ cross country team finished third with a 2-2 record and the girls’ cross country team finished tied for fourth with an 0-3-1 record. The boys’ cross country team was lead by standouts Brandon Grisham and Nick Schoettle.

MIND, BODY & SOUL Managing the Hospital Discharge In April, my 92 year old mother went into the hospital to remove a tumor from her arm, the procedure went well and she was sent home. Three days later, she was back in the hospital because she wasn’t able to handle the complicated wound care regimen. There is a movement to improve care after discharge and to reduce readmissions for the elderly but if your family member has not revamped their discharge process, you may need to take an active role in managing the discharge. TAKE CHARGE: If you believe the

hospital is sending a patient home too soon, talk with the doctor. CHECK THE DRUG LIST: Medication errors are a frequent cause of readmissions. Make sure your family member knows when and how to take new pills. MAKE A DISCHARGE PLAN: Most hospitals provide a discharge plan in writing, but it may not be complete and it may be difficult to understand. Make your own plan that will be a guide for the patient, the caregiver and other doctors. CONTACT THE PRIMARY DOCTOR: Request the discharge planner or hospital MD contact the patient’s primary care physician to be followed up or you should do it yourself.

Look for the “Certified Organic” Label “Organic” refers to the way agriculture products-- including foods and fibers—are grown and processed. Organic farmers, in general, use no synthetic chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or defoliants, and use only natural pesticides on their crops when absolutely necessary. The “certified organic” label stands for a commitment to a system of agriculture that strives for balance with nature. When you buy certified organic food, your choice protects the health of future generations, yourself, and farm workers by keeping cancer-causing pesticides and herbicides off of plates and out of farm environments. This choice also protects water quality by supporting farms that do not contribute to petrochemical runoff; preserves topsoil because organic farmers build soil using natural amenities rather than synthetic fertilizers; helps support small family farms; preserves biodiversity

through the cultivation of heirloom varieties; and provides you and your family with better tasting fruits and vegetables. For the best selection of organic produce and grocery items in San Diego stop by Ocean Beach People’s Organic Foods Market, at 4765 Voltaire Street. Open Daily from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. call us at (619) 2241387 or visit us on the web at www.obpeoplesfood.coop
