Sunset Cliffs Park is eroding, and a long-awaited plan is in development to improve the way the city catches stormwater, moves it across the fragile bluffs and pipes it into the ocean without causing further damage.

But at a public forum July 20 at Robb Field, citizens expressed concerns about costs, possible conflicts with a parallel effort to develop park trails and whether much of the hardware could be eliminated through green alternatives.

Nearly three dozen residents showed up to get a progress report on the socalled comprehensive drainage study, a project headed by the city’s Park and Recreation Department. They asked questions and sized up six maps that lined the walls of Jim Howard Hall, each with a different alignment of pipes, catch basins and outfalls.

The final design will be selected by the department director after weighing the comments, said Paul Jacob, an associate engineer who is heading up the effort. Depending on the alternatives selected, the project could cost as much as $6.8 million, according to a report from the consultant, Dudek

Environmental and Engineering Services.

The problem originates from rain that hits roofs, streets and sidewalks and heads toward the ocean across the park, said Dudek’s Steve Jepsen. Existing infrastructure is either too small or in a state of disrepair, he said.

The plan seeks a 50-year solution that emphasizes low-cost maintenance and sensical, by-the-book engineering practices, Jepsen said. But several citizens spoke in favor of fewer pipes and more natural measures: wetlands, containment basins, rain barrels and home landscaping. Others worried the solution was worse than the problem.

“What you’ve planned here literally destroys the park, because you’re piping right through it,” said Suhail Kahlil, who chairs the Peninsula Community Planning Board.

He called for an analysis on costs versus benefits.

“It’s a bunch of pipes and sand bags,” he said. “That’s not comprehensive.”

Jean Nathan echoed those sentiments.

“We’ve all contributed to the runoff.

Police are asking for information from the public about these three suspects in the recent armed robbery of the Ocean Beach Antique Mall, captured on surveillance tape.

Reward offered for information on OB armed robbery suspects The owners of the Ocean Beach Antique Mall, located at 4926 Newport Ave., are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the three men caught on surveillance tapes and linked to the recent armed robbery at the antique mall.

The robbers got away with more than $200,000 in gold and platinum jewelry. The stolen goods have not been recovered and the suspects remain at large, according to investigators.

expressed his disappointment with Najera.

“His opinion hasn’t changed,” said Manolatos on July 22.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide dismissed two charges of misappropriation of public funds and falsifying public funds accounts after Najera pleaded guilty to grand theft.

Schorr said both sides have agreed the $40,000 restitution figure is accurate, although earlier media accounts suggested the loss was estimated at $101,000. Schorr said Najara’s early plea made a preliminary hearing unnecessary.

Najera, who lives in Otay Mesa, remains free on his own recognizance.

Female Midway bank robber enters guilty plea Lorraine Samuels, 53, has pleaded guilty to stealing $900 from the Wells Fargo branch bank on Sports Arena Boulevard and will be sentenced on Sept. 23.

Samuels was arrested March 15 just hours later after the bank was robbed, but the money was not recovered. She held up the bank at 11:50 a.m. after asking for the manager and presenting a demand note.

The note specifically asked for $900, and she remarked she “would start shooting” if she didn’t get it, according to court records. She kept her hand in a bag and was given the money.

She pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw and could be ordered to pay restitution at her sentencing. The maximum sentence is 20 years, but federal sentencing guidelines suggest a much lower sentence, depending on prior records and other factors.

Samuels remains in custody without bail.

Former Robb Field city worker pleads guilty to grand theft charges Rogelio Najera Jr., a former longtime city employee who worked at Robb Field Recreation Center in Ocean Beach, pleaded guilty July 21 to grand theft and has agreed to pay $40,000 in restitution.

The city and Robb Field are listed as victims, said Deputy District Attorney Leon Schorr. The prosecutor said Najera, 49, hasn’t yet paid any restitution but hopes to pay back at least some of it by his Oct. 27 sentencing.

Najera faces up to a year in county jail because a prison term has been ruled out – provided he pay restitution, said Schorr. Najera is working at another job, which Schorr said will help Najera pay the city back.

Najera worked in the Park and Recreation Department for more than 20 years and was at Robb Field most of the time.

He was a city supervisor for most of the soccer and baseball games, Little Leagues and classes.

District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer is “extremely disappointed” in Najera, said Faulconer’s spokesman, Tony Manolatos.

In 2006, Najera’s job at Robb Field was about to be cut from the city budget, but people signed a petition in support of him. Faulconer argued in support of Najera’s job and a community group raised some money to help fund the position.

Najera’s job was ultimately saved. When charges were filed Feb. 28 in San Diego Superior Court, Faulconer again

‘Dapper Bandit’ guilty of robbing PL bank

BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON After deliberating about a day, a jury on July 15 found the so-called “Dapper Bandit” guilty of robbing a US Bank in Point Loma on Dec. 27 and also of holding up a check-cashing business.

John Richard Martinez, 42, had no reaction after hearing the guilty verdicts from the nine-woman, three-man jury in San Diego Superior Court. Judge Frank Brown set sentencing for Sept.

16, and Martinez remains in custody without bail.

He faces at least 25 years to life in prison because of the three-strikes law.

Martinez was convicted of robbery in 1992 and a weapons charge in 2007.

Martinez has numerous tattoos on his face, head and neck. To disguise himself, Martinez wore a black turtleneck sweater, which covered his neck,

and it’s time to treat the cliffs gently,” she said.

Jepsen said the pipes would be installed using angle drilling or other trenchless technology. At the base of the cliff, new outfalls would be encased in a 6-by-6 concrete box with an energy dissipator to slow the release of water. Special texturing and coloring would help the boxes blend in with the native rock structures, he said.

Belinda Smith of the Surfrider Foundation said a wetland could be used to store water instead of piping it to the ocean.

“We’d like to see a lot more capture,” she said. “We’re sending such filthy water out there. It’s really a crime.”

Jepsen said catch basins would filter oil and trash from the water but it would not screen out pesticides.

Jim Peugh also liked the idea of a wetland for water treatment.

“The park doesn‘t lose anything. You get a lot more diversity of wildlife,” he said.

Jepsen said green alternatives could cost too much to maintain. “[That’s the] reason engineers like pipes and concrete. Holistic approaches — rain gardens and cisterns — are terrific, but when we design municipal facilities, we’re assuming current level of maintenance and a 50-year design life.

and a designer hat that was tipped so low it concealed facial tattoos. He also used make-up to cover other tattoos, said Deputy District Attorney Melissa Vasel.

The trial was brief. It started July 13 and was given to the jury the next day.

Jurors deliberated for six hours total before rendering its verdict.

The jury deadlocked 9-3 on the gun charge that alleged Martinez carried a deadly or dangerous weapon during the robberies. The jury forewoman told the judge they deadlocked because they were divided about the type of weapon used.

The weapon was described in court as an air gun. The forewoman said jurors couldn’t agree if it was a dangerous weapon.

Martinez faces other bank robbery charges in Fresno County.

These are principles frequently dictated [to us],” he said.

Smith disagreed.

“It’s easier to organize a community cleanup of a wetland than a big concrete box,” she said.

Norm Allenby, a member of the Peninsula Community Planning Board, said the study should expand its vision to the entire watershed.

“All I see is an approach that concentrates the flow of water and discharges it as quickly as possible to the beach,” he said. “In an urban watershed, properly designed and properly handled, there should be no runoff from a landscaped home, or campus or ballfield.”

Dedi Ridenour said she didn’t like the idea of installing more stormwater pipes on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard.

“It’s too fragile,” she said. “It would not protect the park. It’s a waste of money and it’s a boondoggle.”

Despite the added pipes, the plan would fail to address much of the uncontrolled runoff, said Craig Barilotti, who brought a map of the park south of Ladera Street identifying around two dozen areas of concern.

“It’s a real omission. And the problem is it interferes with the trails,” he said.

No date has been set for the final version of the comprensive drainage study to be finalized, Jacob said. The city hopes to have the necessary permits in March for a related project to develop trails and restore vegetation in the park.

According to an employee who wished not to be identified, the real cause of the closures was because of “greedy landlords” who panned Blockbuster’s lease renewals for more valuable suitors like “a bank or a workout gym.”

NEWS & VIEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Writer takes issue with paper’s practices Does anyone have the backbone to stand up to the bullying San Diego Union-Tribune?

I cancelled my subscription to the U-T in May, but it continued to charge my credit card anyway.

I thought the problem was solved at the end of May because I managed to get all their improper charges to my credit card reversed. I believed I had a second layer of protection because my credit card expired at the end of May, and I got a new card with a new number (which the U-T didn’t have).

I was wrong.

The U-T then began sending me “late notices” in the mail and threatened to turn my account over to their collection agency.

I take threats to my credit record seriously, and don’t wish to be surprised upon my next mortgage application. Unfortunately, I have not been able to obtain a statement from the U-T that my account is closed and that is has NOT turned over to a collection agency, despite a certified letter to their “customer service”

department on June 21 (with a copy to their publisher), and email requests of their customer service” department on July 17 and July 18.

I would like a written statement from them for my files, for when this shows up on my credit report in the future.

Also, consumers have rights (i.e., The Fair Credit Reporting Act) and should not be subjected to such extortion. How many others have been victimized by the U-T’s tactics?

“This will not be the end to this topic.

But the issue of the dollar amount — almost a million dollars potentially that could be spent — weighs heavily on my decision today,” said Faulconer.

With the repeal, medical marijuana dispensaries will again go unregulated in terms of how collectives can operate.

Many supporters of medical marijuana helped collect signatures for the ordinance’s repeal. The City Clerk’s Office and the county Registrar of Voters Office determined there were 31,029 valid signatures collected, or about five percent of registered voters.

Before being reversed Monday, the regulations basically put most medical marijuana firms out of business because they had to be only located in lightindustrial zones and each one had to go through a long police-approved conditional-use permit process.

Under the repealed ordinance, dispensaries could not be located within 600 feet of schools, parks, libraries and churches, and had to be operated as

nonprofit entities.

“Clearly, people do not support this ordinance,” said Alvarez. “I hope we can enact an ordinance that is fair to all people impacted by this.”

Other councilmembers were less convinced.

“I’m not sure what a [possible citywide election] would tell us,” said Lightner. “It would be like sending $1 million up in smoke.”

Councilmembers said that while some people signed the petitions because the regulations appeared too strict, others signed because the previous ordinance didn’t go far enough.

Rudy Reyes, who was severely burned in 2003 in the Cedar wildfire, speaks often about the benefits of medical marijuana to control pain.

“If you decide to put it on the 2012 election ballot, you’re going to waste a bunch of money,” Reyes told the council.

Many speakers talked about the pros and cons of medical marijuana itself, and Young had to remind them to tailor their remarks about whether the council should repeal the measure or put it on the ballot.

BENCHES CONTINUED FROM Page 1

Todd Ebbert of U.S. Concrete, the company that manufactured the Cappellucci bench and who offered to replace it at no charge after its disappearance.

There is also an anonymous neighbor who offered a $10,000 reward during a KGTV-10 News segment to locate the benches. And then there is Michael Turko, the KUSI-TV personality who developed the lead that brought about the rediscovery. Finally, there are the San Diego police detectives who worked the case and District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, longtime friends and new friends who were touched by the story and who offered support.

Still, the benches are temporarily impounded and the couple feels a sense of urgency as Aug. 24 approaches. That date would have been Butch’s 39th birthday.

“I can’t sleep knowing Butchy’s bench is in a junkyard,” Catherine Cappellucci told The Peninsula Beacon.

Early this week, the benches remained in the same City Heights yard where they had been deposited

by George Gonzalez, the crane-service owner who was reportedly paid $300 to haul the benches off.

Cappellucci said she’s not convinced the bench is in good shape and she said she is eager to have it examined by her husband, who is a contractor. It was carefully wheeled into place when installed, but it seems to have been dragged when the crane removed it, she said, possibly putting stress on the bolts attaching the arm rests to the body.

San Diego Det. Dan Roman said a criminal investigation is ongoing and the benches are still needed as evidence. Once complete, however, the benches will be returned to their owners and the investigation will be handed over to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, he said.

It’s already been decided that Gonzalez will not be charged, Roman said.

The man who hired him, a 77-yearold Ocean Beach man with no criminal history, has been cooperative and apologetic, and is also not in custody. If the District Attorney’s Office files charges, the older man will be notified by mail and be booked and released in a few hours. Roman said he is not yet releasing the name of the man who hired Gonzalez to haul away the memorial benches.

Cappellucci said the man who hired the crane lives a few blocks from the Cappelluccis and the couple encountered him once while walking to the benches.

“It’s a two-minute walk from where we live,” Catherine Cappellucci said.

“He had a truck for sale. At that time, he seemed like a normal person.”

If he had complaints about people who use the bench, he could have addressed them with her, Cappellucci said.

“It would have been a nice courtesy.

He could have walked over, knocked on our door and said, ‘Can we talk about the bench?’” she said. “He’s talked about behavior from kids [allegedly using the bench as a gathering spot to smoke marijuana]. What about his behavior as an adult?”

After Butch’s passing, Cappellucci said government staffers told her a memorial bench could be installed in

Ocean Beach without permits and they even suggested a few sites. They eventually decided on Del Mar Avenue because Tony and Catherine used to watch their son surf there and erosion wasn’t an issue.

They installed trash bins and cleaned the site every week, performing a “good neighborhood watch,” Cappellucci said. “Cleaning up after kids and unruly visitors seems to be part of it if you care enough about this community. It happens everywhere, not just … where the benches were.”

For the most part, the benches were respected by the community, Cappellucci said, and even drew a group of eight retired nuns from Sacred Heart Church as regulars.

“We’ve had many, many people say how beautiful the bench is and what a perfect place to have it,” she said.

As for Gonzalez, Cappellucci said she preferred someone else handle the reinstallment of the benches when they are eventually returned. KUSITV’s Turko might recruit a volunteer to deliver them for free, she said.

She questions Gonzalez’ claims in the media that nothing seemed suspicious about the request to remove the benches and asked, “Is it worth $300 to destroy your name?”

She said she looks forward to the benches being returned for community use and to restore her son’s tribute.

“Our son’s bench represented his spirit, not his tombstone,” Cappellucci said. “We could visualize Butchy as we looked over and saw surfers surfing and felt the sun or the moon upon our faces. We spent time there with him before he died so we felt … his spirit with us when we sat on his bench.

What a nice feeling.”

BY MARIKO LAMB | THE BEACON The San Diego Unified School District’s Board of Education officially approved a sister-school relationship in March between a distant and unlikely pair — Cabrillo Elementary School in Point Loma and Grundschule Elementary School in Neuhaus an der Oste, Germany.

Although both are K-4 elementary schools, they could not be farther apart.

No obvious connection links the two schools unless one digs deep into the history of San Diego and the leadership of one man — Louis Rose.

Rose was the first Jewish settler in San Diego in 1850. He quickly became a civic leader, serving as a member on the city’s first grand jury, on the county board of supervisors and on the city’s board of trustees.

One of his most lasting achievements, however, was mapping out the community of Roseville — the present-day neighborhood in Point Loma that is home to Cabrillo Elementary School.

In 1904, that same school was a oneroom schoolhouse called Roseville Elementary School, and Rose’s daughter, Henrietta, was its first teacher.

Although Rose adopted San Diego as his second home, his hometown was Neuhaus an der Oste, a small northern German town near the confluence of the Oste and Elbe rivers and the site of Grundschule Elementary School.

“That got us into a conversation that we’ve got a history with this town,” said Cabrillo’s principal, Nestor Suarez. “We inquired into this sister school and we found out it was also a K-4 school.”

Since the board’s official approval of the sister-school connection, the relationship has flourished.

Today, Suarez, a committee of parents and several local organizations are working to develop exchanges, events and projects to support the sister-school relationship.

“We were just going to have a few different kinds of cultural exchanges, but it all evolved into a more complex relationship,” he said. “We’re in the process of formalizing an exchange teacher to spend a couple of weeks with us here,

tell us about their schools and help us understand how to facilitate our relationship. They will act as a contact person and we would send one of our teachers out in the spring.”

The Louis Rose Society for the Preservation of Jewish History has agreed to finance roundtrip airfare for the German exchange teacher from Grundschule to visit in the fall, and the German Consulate, under the leadership of Honorary German Consul Stephan Hollmann, is looking into underwriting the costs for a German language-teaching intern.

Suarez’s long-term goals include finding grants to fund a permanent German language program, increasing enrollment and having his students learn about another culture and language.

For now, “We put together a package that we will send them [Grundschule Elementary School] with artwork from every grade level, books with the history of Louis Rose, videos, T-shirts, maps of San Diego and the certified partnership agreement,” he said.

In addition, a computer lab has been set up for students to watch recorded lessons from the sister school to see what a typical German classroom looks like.

“We’re having our students learn about a global perspective,” he said.

“Long term, we have all these grand ideas, and we have a picture now of what we want to accomplish. We know what’s on the platter, now we just take one bite, then two bites to get it done.”

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.

The RN Case Managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants are available 24/7 to help with all these details and they are expert in handling any problems that may arise. Call (877) 731-1442 or see our website at www.innovativehc.com.

The underwater cleanup effort was organized by Ocean Defenders Alliance (ODA), the only nonprofit marine conservation organization dedicated to the technical, yet dangerous, task of cleaning up “ghost gear”—abandoned lobster and crab pots, nets and lines.

“If there is any commercial fishing that goes on, they typically lose 10 to 15 percent of their nets,” said ODA Founder and President Kurt Lieber. “Ghost netting is very difficult to see and people can get caught and drown in it, and because it’s hard to see, animals get stuck in it too.”

Currently, the Coast Guard picks up ghost gear down to 50 feet underwater, due to its danger to recreational boats.

and there’s no legal ramifications for it,” he said. “I’m working with some lawyers to get a bill passed to make insurance companies liable for that.”

The ease of cutting nets, meanwhile, is not equal to the ease of retrieving the manmade litter.

“It’s a long and tedious process,” he said, recalling one project involving a 1,400-pound net in only 80 feet of water that took months to complete due to harsh conditions.

Since ODA’s establishment in 2002,

Lieber and his team have cleaned up more than 12,000 pounds of abandoned netting in Southern California.

“The only way we find these nets is if people report them to us,” he said.

Although ODA is based out of Huntington Beach, Lieber urges San Diego divers who see any type of ghost gear to report it to ODA immediately.

“There’s no one doing what we do,” he said. “We’re willing to come down here.”

On Tuesday, Aug. 9 at 6 p.m., San Diego Coastkeeper and the Environmental Health Coalition will host “Signs of the Tide: San Diego Bay’s Dirty Little Secret,” a free panel discussion on the origin of contaminated material lurking beneath the water in the San Diego Bay, its effect on marine and human life and the 10-year history of delayed cleanup efforts.

In a 1996 study, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found San Diego Bay to be the second most toxic bay in the nation. Pollutants such as copper, mercury, PAHs, PCBs, zinc and chlordane are dense in the sediment, contaminating fish and resulting in serious health risks to consumers.

An environmental leader will discuss the scope of a proposed project by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to clean up the toxic material from a 60-acre site on the bay’s floor and a San Diego Coastkeeper staff member will propose ways for volunteers to get involved in the cleanup efforts.

“Signs of the Tide” will take place at the Memorial Recreation Center, located at 2902 Marcy Ave. For more information or to get involved, call (619) 758-7743 or visit www.sdcoastkeeper.org.

Award-winning producers and everyone in between.

The event has also served to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Taylor “Guitars for Schools” programs, putting music back in city schools.

Taking place on Aug. 8 at one of the city’s most-scenic venues — Humphrey’s by the Bay — performers at this year’s event will include such indie favorites as Wavves, Dynamite Walls and The Silent Comedy, jazz trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos, alternative blues duo Little Hurricane, hip-hop combo Cuckoo Chaos, as well as jazz and blues icons Candye Kane and Sue Palmer.

The lifetime achievement award will be presented to 1980s indie rockers The Penetrators. They join an incredible roster of past recipients, including other internationally known, but locally-based icons like Iron Butterfly, Frankie Laine and Jack Tempchin.

Penetrators frontman Gary Heffern, now residing in Finland, started his career with the band in the late 1970s, scoring hits with songs like “Walk The Beat,” “I’m with the Guys” and “Sensitive Boy.” He considers the upcoming award to be a major honor.

“I love this band and all the people around it,” he said. “(I) wish some of them were still around to be part of this.

The song ‘We’re All Somebody’ has been going through my head a lot recently.

You know, we were just a band. We wanted to be like The Clash, a ‘people’s’ band, so I also want to share this award with the people somehow.”

Being one with his audience is key to making music in Heffern’s eyes.

“I remember going to see The Clash at the Santa Monica Civic [Auditorium] with Dan (McLain, the Penetrators’ late drummer). The place was packed,” he recalled. “As we walked in the room, Darby Crash walked up to us and grabbed us by the arm and stated, “This is OUR band,’ and walked us up to the front of the crowd with all those early Los Angeles bands. That’s the feeling I wanted our audience to have about us. It was exciting, and affirmation that we were part of the scene. Mind you, this is years before hardcore came into the picture, and the bands and audiences were one and the same.”

He notes there is poignancy to the timing of the next San Diego Music Awards.

“The last time I was there, my father had been very ill,” Heffern said. “I am hoping that he can make it out to this, as it would mean a lot for me to have him feel that I have achieved something in my life.”

Despite the passage of time, fans can expect the band to give its all during its two-song set.

“We still do every show as if it is the last one we will ever do. It’s just something that can’t be helped,” he said.

“However, the shows are so physically demanding nowadays, and it takes so long to recover from them as old aches and pains from the younger shows like a broken tailbone, foot, etc, and my car accident last year require daily medicine these days. But the heart is young, and yearning to play.”

That said, the trophy itself may present a small problem for Heffern.

“I hadn’t even thought of that,” he

PLNU gains phased admission into NCAA Div. II

BY SCOTT HOPKINS | THE BEACON In nature, sea lions are unable to jump, but Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) officials have proven they most certainly can when it comes to university athletics.

A long-awaited phone call rang on the Sea Lion’s campus earlier this month, advising the school its application to leap to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II status has been approved. The university will also become members of a new athletic league.

The call from the NCAA Division II Membership Committee ended a

lengthy process and touched off a celebration among the institution’s leaders.

“This announcement culminates an application process that began several months ago,” said athletic director Ethan Hamilton.

The complete NCAA move, however, is not immediate, according to PLNU officials.

The Sea Lions will enter into a threeyear transition period before earning full NCAA status. The university will continue to function as before during the 2011-12 school year and athletic season. For now, it will remain an active member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the

Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC). During this time, the athletic department will also work toward meeting NCAA first-year requirements.

Starting in the fall of 2012, PLNU will join the PacWest League and begin the second and third years of NCAA transition. Sea Lion athletic teams will be eligible for regular season PacWest championships and awards, but will not be able to compete in regional and national postseason play until awarded full NCAA membership in 2014-15.

A recent Point Loma High School graduate remains upbeat after suffering or aggravating a serious injury in the recent Alex Spanos All-Star Classic football game.

Quarterback Sean McKaveney was ticketed to enter Claremont McKenna College and challenge for the starting job as a freshman until he felt a “pop” in his right knee just before halftime of the match won by his South squad July 8 at Mesa College.

That collegiate debut will have to wait a year, after doctors diagnosed a full anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) SEAN McKAVENEY tear that sent McKaveney into surgery July 24.

Known as “patella tendon-right ACL reconstruction,” McKaveney said the 90-minute procedure was successful.

“I had virtually no pain when I first came home,” McKaveney said. “But my knee was killing me the first week when it was in a continuous motion machine 23 hours a day to keep the new ligament loose.”

Doctors have given the young athlete a brisk schedule that should see him running in six weeks.

First, however, came walking without crutches this week.

look forward to full participation in the PacWest,” said Dr. Bob Brower, university president. “This important step in our athletic program will provide exciting opportunities for our student-athletes and the university.”

Hamilton agreed.

“I am thrilled for PLNU athletics to be moving forward within the NCAA framework to provide a Christ-centered environment where our student-athletes can holistically grow while pursuing academic and athletic distinction,” he said.

Hamilton identified several key people “who have worked extremely hard to make this happen.” As part of the preparation process, Dr. John Wright was appointed as faculty athletic representative, Sarah Gustin as senior woman administrator and Jackie Armstrong as compliance coordinator.

The NCAA was founded in 1910 and is the governing body for more than 1,200 colleges and universities with more than 400,000 student-athletes. In 1973, the membership divided into three divisions: I, II and III. There are presently 293 schools competing in NCAA Division II.

INJURY CONTINUED FROM Page 10

“I can’t wait to start rehab and get back out on the field training,” said McKaveney.

Doctors surprised the quarterback and his parents with the assessment of the ACL tear.

“The doctors think my knee did not swell this time because it had already been torn, and that I was just extremely lucky to be able to play on it this long,” he said.

Ironically, this is the first year Claremont McKenna has recruited players, and McKaveney believes redshirting as a freshman could be an advantage.

“I am now looking at this whole injury as a blessing in disguise,” he said, “since it gives the college another year to recruit and continue to build their program. I think everything will work out for the best.”

McKaveney plans to participate in track during his freshman season in the spring, hoping to run the 400-meter relays, high jump and throw the javelin for the NCAA Division III Stags.
