THE PENINSULA BEACON

BY DAVE SCHWAB | THE BEACON

FEBRUARY

In what's become an annual rite of passage, students and parents from Silver Gate, Dana and Correia middle schools surf teams proved they're not hypothermic by taking the “polar bear plunge,” without wetsuits, on New Year's weekend.

The owner of a “perpetual remodel” at 1676 Plum St., which had been under construction for more than seven years, was ordered by a judge to fix, sell or demolish it. A grass-roots group named Preserve Point Loma announced Feb. 2 it was organizing the Point Loma community to persuade City Council to deny a proposed four-lot subdivision on the old Jessop estate at La Crescentia Drive. Opponents argued the Jessop site contains environmentally sensitive steep lands and unstable hillsides and should be protected, not redeveloped.

January brings rain and cooler temperatures as well as the seasonal gray whale migration along the San Diego coast. Sportfishing specialists H&M Landing in Point Loma was profiled for the three-hour whale watching tours it's been conducting since 1956.

Architects contracted by the San Diego Unified School District outlined the first phase of a long-term project to upgrade facilities at Point Loma High School during the first of three planned community meetings on the high school campus.

From the get-go, 2015 was an eventful – and productive – year for Peninsulans in Ocean Beach and Point Loma.

Here are some month-by-month highlights:

Plenty of live music on New Year’s eve

BY BART MENDOZA | THE BEACON There are plenty of nights to party and celebrate each year, but undoubtedly the biggest is New Year’s eve. Perhaps it’s the thought of starting over the next day with a clean slate and a new year, but celebrations on Dec. 31 always tend to be among the rowdiest and the most sentimental of occasions. Before we head into 2016, here are some of the festivities happening in the area, with something on offer for just about every music fan.

Jam band The Brothers Gow have a special show set for Dec. 31 at Winston’s, with the band set to perform their second annual Time Travel show, playing hits from 1966 to today.

The band has been building an impressive following across the U.S., with fans packing legendary venues such as Los Angeles Orpheum, drawn by their improv prowess and funky beats.

For this show, however, the band plays exclusively covers, turning in great versions of such unlikely songs as David Bowie’s “Fame,” Aha’s “Take on Me,” and KC & The Sunshine Band’s “Get Down Tonight.”

With a keen sense of humor that shines through in their performances and the musical chops to play some tricky tunes, these guys will have the dance floor filled from start to finish.

Detroit Underground, featuring singer Stellita Lindgren and a full horn section, will perform PHOTO CONTRIBUTED at Humphrey’s Backstage Live.

through 1940s, the night includes all drinks and tapas, with a big band, Ragtime Meets Swing, set to provide the soundtrack of tunes from the era. Other entertainment is set to include a DJ, with more modern sounds, as well as a video presentation of classic music clips through the decades.

The night’s highlight, in fitting with the vintage era theme, will likely be the staging of a full burlesque show set to live music. With so much activity and a fun menu, this could be the year’s ultimate date night.

highlight an evening that will feature one of San Diego’s top dance bands, Detroit Underground.

Featuring singer Stellita Lindgren and a full horn section, the group plays a wide range of material, but where it excels is in mid-'70s through 1980s tunes by the likes of The O’Jays, Earth Wind & Fire or Anita Baker.

The whole band is topflight, but Lindgren’s passion for the music and engaging stage presence put Detroit Underground a notch above the rest. humphreysbackstagelive.com

A pet costume contest will take place at 2:30 p.m. featuring prizes for several categories including best dressed and best pet-owner look alike.

Participating exhibitors, lined up by press time, were Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego, Dogs on Deployment, Emergency Animal Rescue, Helen Woodward Animal Center, Parrot Education and

Adoption Center, Paws Into Grace Animal Hospice, Pridey Girl Petcare, Rancho Coastal Humane Society, San Diego Happy Dogs and Sky Hunters. Chopper the Biker Dog will be on hand to entertain the crowd.

Sponsored by Fiesta de Reyes, the Blessing of the Animals event invites people and animals of all faiths and convictions to participate. Last year’s event attracted more than 500 attendees was the highest attendance recorded in the modern event’s five-year history. From a blue tonged lizard to a wolf hybrid dog, all animals were blessed by Monsignor Mark Campbell.

Admission to this event is free. For more information, call 619-297-3100.

The doggie costume contest is sure to delight attendees of Blessing of the Animals in Old Town San Diego on Sunday, Jan. 18.

NTC Foundation installs art in public places at Liberty Station The new skating rink is not the only new ice at Liberty Station. The NTC Foundation recently unveiled its first art commission, just in time for the holiday season.

Entitled ICE, the light sculpture is on display in the fountain in front of the Dick Laub NTC Command Center. Created by internationally renowned La Jolla artist Smadar Samson, the installation aligns with the opening of the Fantasy on Ice rink.

“Our Art in Public Places initiative has been on the radar for quite a while,” explained NTC Foundation Executive Director Alan Ziter. “We have had many works on public display over the past 10 years, including pieces by Inocente, Robert Michael Jones, Jeffery Laundeslager and Bernar Venet, but this is the perfect time to officially launch an Art in Public Places program, as we have created a topnotch committee and startup funding in place.”

Samson was granted $3,800 to fabricate and install the temporary sculpture.

“We were impressed with the ingenuity of the piece,” Ziter said, “as well as its relation to issues of global warming and the site chosen. It adds a creative visual arts component to our Fantasy on Ice extravaganza.” The sculpture will remain on display through Jan. 17.

Samson will be on hand for a Meet the Artist talk at the Command Center during the next Friday Night Liberty free art walk, on Jan. 8.

Perfect for anyone who grew up watching MTV during its infancy. tioleos.com Meanwhile, female-fronted quintet The Jones Revival will perform at Beaumont’s. The mix of female and male vocals makes for incendiary version of tunes by Led Zeppelin, Neil Young and more modern fare such as Alabama Shakes.

beaumontseatery.com/events Classic rock aficionados may also want to head to The Kona Kai Resort, which will host music from Fish & The Seaweeds in its Vessels restaurant. Led by guitarist Mark Fisher, you’ll hear favorites by Santana, Creedence and more.

resortkonakai.com Finally, The Harp will feature a night of music from Ron Houston and friends. Houston is best known for his work with country band Sick String Outlaws, and that spirit carries over to his solo work. Anyone who enjoys blues, roots rock or Americana in general will enjoy this show.

The newly formed Art in Public Places committee will be developing a longterm plan and policy for enlivening the 28-acre Arts District with art and providing an opportunity for more San Diego artists to show and sell their work.

“Art in the public places is a natural extension of the work being done by artist in our galleries and museums,” said NTC Foundation Board member and committee chair Vicki Reed. “Great cities have great art in unique public spaces that provides viewing and access that is free and nonexclusive. Our goal will be to add meaning, interest and purpose to our already amazing plazas, arcades and buildings at this historic former Navy base.”

For now, the Art in Public Places committee consists of NTC Foundation board members and community representatives: Reed, Community Volunteer; Victoria Hamilton, Arts and Culture Advocate, Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation; Judy McDonald, Community Volunteer; Mary Keough Lyman; Lynda Forsha, Principal, Independent Curator and Principal, Art Advisory Services; and Nathan Cadieux, vice president, McMillin Cos.

Hot chocolate fundraiser Volunteers help out at the 16th annual Garrison Street hot chocolate charity fundraiser on Dec. 19 at the Ybarra residence on Garrison Street in Point Loma. They sold cups of hot chocolate and baked goods to raise funds for local young woman Divina Leal.

The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park held a pre-screening party and then an exclusive private screening of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” at the AMC Mission Valley IMAX theater on Thursday, Dec. 17.

Hundreds of fans – dressed as Jedi Knights, Han Solos and Princess Leias (some in gold bikinis and others in the more modest flowing white dress with hair buns) – came out to meet R2D2 and Boba Fett, hang with Stormtroopers from the 501st Legion and consume colorful drinks and food from local restaurants, distilleries and breweries.

The Star Wars fans also witnessed a demonstration on how hover transportation could work and tried diligently to make their own lightsaber at the Fleet Center. The evening culminated with a private motorcoach ride to the theater to watch “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

Food and drink sponsors at the prescreening party included Aztec Brewing Co., Old Harbor Distilling Co., Port Brewing and Lost Abbey, The Prado, Quad Ale House, Saiko Sake & Sushi Bar, Bice Ristorante, Slater's 50/50, High Dive Bar & Grill, Soda & Swine, Malahat Spirits Co.,

They enjoyed local news from two Beacons as photographed in front of the Taj Mahal, in Agra.

Delwyn and Diane Edwards visited Budapest last month, with the world-traveler Beacon newspaper in tow.

They're seen here at the Changing of the Guard at the Buda Castle and overlooking the Danube River from the Fishermen’s Bastion.

Claudia Bender and Katelyn Rowell took their copy of The Beacon, highlighting all the Ocean Beach cliff jumpers, to Portovenere, Italy last month. The cliffs of the ancient seaside town compare with Sunset Cliffs, without the crowds and jumpers. The town appears similar to the Ocean Beach of the 1960s.

NEWS said Knox about the security program's purpose. She said security guards have worked closely — and well — with police.

“They're here for every farmers market to help us with crowds every Wednesday,” Knox noted, adding that guards have relatively broad security authority. For example, they recently tracked down a problematic patron in the business district, presenting the per-

son with a stay-away order from a merchant.

“We've found them (guards) to be very responsive and interested in what they're doing,” Knox said. “They've also been to a number of crime prevention meetings and spoken at those meetings.”

The security program involves guards teaming up on bikes and riding up and down all the alleys and streets in OB as well as walking the community's side-

walks. They patrol especially along Newport Avenue but also on Voltaire Street and near Dog Beach.

Since March, the security guard team has been scheduled for five shifts a week, with varying times depending on when the neighborhood has the greatest need for support.

According to stats compiled in the beach security program, Code 647, disorderly conduct, including loitering on private property, drunk in public and illegal lodging on provide property, is the most common incident reported by the security guard team. Sometimes, they've had as many as three to eight Code 647s in one eight-hour day.

Illegal dumping is a close second in Code 647, with multiple reports each day that the security team is on duty.

The team noted that a huge amount of furniture and trash is dumped daily in OB's alleys. Every single day, the team calls for pick-ups to remove the trash, furniture, couches, beds et cetera.

Code 52.20, obstruction of public sidewalks, is another frequent issue dealt with by security guards who persuade obstructionists to move along.

Code 594, graffiti, is yet another very common issue. When found, the security team immediately contacts the City of San Diego to help with graffiti cleanup. The City requires graffiti on private property to be cleaned up within 24 hours. Landlords and renters are responsible for cleaning up their properties.

Knox said the association's 14-member board will decide whether, and how, to extend the beach security patrol program when the issue comes up again during the new year.
