Faulconer hosts public meeting District 1 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer will host a public meeting of the Citizens Revenue Review and Economic Competitiveness Commission (CRRECC) on July 29 at 6 p.m. in the Point Loma library, 3701 Voltaire St. CRRECC is coming to all City Council districts and members of the commission want to hear from residents, businesses and other stakeholders on ways to improve the city. CCRECC’s objectives are: Engage the public and private sectors in reviewing best practices and strategies designed to retain businesses in San Diego and attract businesses to San Diego and make recommendations toward providing efficient, effective and quality city services which improve the quality of life of all San Diego’s communities while also maintaining a balanced budget with limited revenues.

John Everhart, San Diego lifeguard lieutenant, said three people were hospitalized as a result of stings, and all were treated and released. “When we have small surf and calm water, they come close to shore,” Everhart said. “If you put lots of bathers in those areas, there’s a pretty good likelihood that some people will be stung.” Everhart added that “it’s not unlikely” for lifeguards to treat about a dozen stings on an average day, and that Wednesday’s large volume of stings are unusual. “But this happens on a daily basis throughout Southern California, and I don’t think there’s any cause for alarm,” he said. To avoid contact with stingrays, Everhart recommended the “stingray shuffle.” “When you walk into the water, instead of picking up your feet and putting them down again, shuffle them along the bottom,” he said. “This causes vibrations in the sand which the stingrays might sense and it could nudge them away. It doesn’t work 100 percent of the time, but it seems to be a good mechanism.” If stung, Everhart said victims should seek treatment from lifeguards, which involves soaking the wounded area in very hot water for 40 minutes to an hour. The heat helps break down proteins in the venom and reduce pain significantly, Everhart said. Symptoms include a puncture wound from the sting and “pretty intense pain” that starts at the injury site — usually the foot — and spreads up through the limb, Everhart said. One additional word of caution: for those who choose to treat themselves, Everhart advises to make sure that the water is not so hot that it causes additional injuries or burns.

The four simultaneous raids occurred at approximately 7 a.m. on Wednesday, July 14. One raid occurred at a residence on the 2300 block of Chalcedony Street and three raids took place at separate residences all located on the 1800 block of Law Street. In addition, small amounts of methamphetamine and mushrooms were found, said Amy Roderick, spokeswoman for the NTF. Authorities seized illegal fireworks, a shotgun, a handgun and ammunition along with a total of $30,000 from the four residences. Marijuana paraphernalia, scales and packaging materials were taken from the residences. The four men arrested were Gregory Michael Goodwin, 38; Van Carter, 49, Ian McDonald, 31, and Guillermo Javier Perez, 46. They face charges of cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, and one individual will also face charges of suspicion of being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm. The suspects will be prosecuted by the San Diego District Attorney’s Office. The investigation is ongoing, Roderick added. —DEBBIE HATCH Ranger now watching over Children’s Pool As part of a management plan approved by the San Diego City Council in May, a park ranger funded by private donations has been stationed at the Children’s Pool near La Jolla Cove in order to mediate relations between humans and seals. Randal (Randy) Hawley began as a provisional ranger last weekend, and will continue to work until a permanent ranger can be hired — a process that may take several months, according to a statement from Mayor Jerry Sanders’ office. Hawley has worked as a park ranger for more than 28 years, and retired from his position as supervising park ranger at the San Diego Park and Recreation Department. His immediate responsibilities at the Children’s Pool will include reviewing signs at the site and initiating efforts to begin a volunteer docent program, according to the statement. Rachel Laing from Sanders’ office said that Hawley will be at the site Saturdays, Sundays, and at least three weekdays, but his schedule will vary. Trash pick-up at Liberty Station changed With the city’s new trash routes set in motion July 12, Liberty Station’s weekly trash pick-up day has been moved from Mondays to Tuesdays. The change in pick-up day is part of the city Environmental Services Department’s (ESD) effort to streamline trash routes to save $4.4 million annually, according to the office of Mayor Jerry Sanders. In addition to the new pick-up day, residents and businesses citywide may have their collection times changed. The city is encouraging residents to have their waste containers at the curb by 6 a.m. on their normal pick-up day to avoid any confusion. Starting this year, ESD will also only recognize six holidays with a one-day delay in services — Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. This year, collection during the holiday periods will occur on Dec. 24 and 31. According to Sanders’ office, the change in trash schedules will reduce the workforce by 40 positions.

Speakers advocated pension reform, managed competition and spending cuts instead of resorting to tax increases. City Councilmen Carl DeMaio and Kevin Faulconer addressed the crowd, in addition to representatives from various companies and organizations. The Lincoln Club of San Diego County, a business-oriented political action committee, organized the event. Ohr Shalom continues fundraising to finish restoration project Ohr Shalom began renovating its historical synagogue at Third Avenue and Laurel Street. The building is an example of Mediterranean Revival architecture from the 1920s. The 85-year-old structure was long overdue for renovation. The congregation raised $3.6 million from its 350 members as well as from neighbors who want to see the landmark preserved. Ohr Shalom is looking to the community and neighboring businesses to help raise the remaining $600,000 it needs for completion. The Beth Israel congregation, which occupied the building for 75 years, originally commissioned the famed William Wheeler to be the architect for the building. Ohr Shalom took possession of the building in 2002 and is orchestrating the repair of the facade, structural seismic upgrades and the refinishing of the ceiling dome. All of the work was approved by the Historical Resources Board at the City Planning Department.

Dumlao admitted to getting high by intentionally inhaling the vapors of a computer keyboard cleaner, then getting behind the wheel and causing the crash that killed 9-year-old Ashley Heffington of Pacific Beach. Dumlao was denied probation and fined more than $2,200. He pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated — a practice known as “huffing” vapors — in the Dec. 31 crash that also injured the girl’s mother, Cindy Heffington and another passenger. Dumlao apologized, saying, “It was an accident that was not supposed to happen. If God can forgive me, maybe the family will forgive me.” Cindy Heffington replied: “That is not something you can ever forgive. No parent should have to lose their child.” Heffington said she had to make the hard decision to remove her brain-dead daughter from life support Jan. 12. “When people are impaired from alcohol or drugs, they know exactly what they are doing,” Heffington said. “They know they have a chance of killing someone. It’s not an accident.” Several cans of computer duster were found in the Chula Vista man’s Toyota after he crashed into Heffington’s car at 9 a.m. on Sports Arena and West Point Loma boulevards. Specialized blood tests were conducted to determine how Dumlao got high. San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide set a restitution hearing for Sept. 13 and gave Dumlao credit for serving 83 days in jail. — Neal Putnam?Drunken driver sentenced to six years in prison As a courtroom audience of 120 people looked on, a judge on July 9 sentenced a drunk driver to six years in state prison for killing Jared Franklin Purton, a scientist who worked at the Scripps Research Institute, in a fiery crash Dec. 13 in Torrey Pines. Michael Patrick Landri, 31, had been free on $50,000 bond, but was remanded to jail at the end of a long sentencing hearing in which both friends of the victim and defendant spoke to San Diego Superior Court Judge Eugenia Eyherabide. Landri was driving at least 88 mph in his Infiniti G35 when he struck the Volkswagen Passat that Purton was driving around 10 p.m. on Dec. 13, 2009. The impact caused both cars to explode in flames. Landri had a blood/alcohol level of .16, which is twice the legal limit, said Deputy District Attorney Renee Palermo. Purton, 33, of Pacific Beach, died in his car on North Torrey Pines Road. Landri, of San Diego, and a passenger was pulled from the wreckage by a University of California, San Diego employee who was unable to save Purton. Landri was a bartender and was returning from a Christmas party. Palermo told the judge Landri had a flask of whiskey in his pocket that was 2/3rds empty. Landri pleaded guilty March 19 to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, with the maximum sentence set at 10 years. Eyherabide gave Landri credit for seven days previously spent in jail and fined him $1,014. A Sept. 7 hearing was set to determine whether he should pay the victim’s parents any restitution. Landri remains in the downtown central jail pending transfer to prison. — Neal Putnam TODAY’S EVENTS: TUESDAY, JULY 13 La Jolla • Wii open play and tournament for teens, 3 p.m., La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave., (858) 552-1657, sign-up required • Development Permit Review Committee, 4 p.m., La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St., (858) 456-7900 • Children’s concert with Hullaballoo, 4 p.m., La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave., (858) 552-1657 TOMORROW’S EVENTS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 14 Pacific/Mission Beach • Discover PB Promotions Committee meeting, 3 p.m., Discover PB office, 1503 Garnet Ave., (858) 273-3303 • PBTC Sundowner, 5:30 p.m., Location TBD, 4474 Mission Blvd., (858) 483-6666 • Mission Beach Town Council meeting, 7 p.m., Community Room, Belmont Park, www.missionbeachtc.org La Jolla • La Jolla Library Book Club, 1:15 p.m., La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave.; second Wednesday each month, “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” by Lisa Lee, (858) 552-1657, free • Promote La Jolla meeting, 3 p.m., La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave., (858) 552-1657 • La Jolla Shores Association meeting, 7 p.m., Scripps Institute of Oceanography, building T-9, 2300 Expedition Way, [email protected] THE WEEK AHEAD: JULY 12-17 Bank of America robbed in PB The routines of residents and employees in Pacific Beach were disrupted by a low-flying San Diego Police Department Airborne Law Enforcement (ABLE) helicopter warning those in the community to be on the lookout for a suspect who robbed the Bank of America, 912 Garnet Ave., at about 3:05 p.m. today. The ABLE unit, using a loudspeaker, described the suspect as a white male in his 40s, wearing a gray shirt and baseball cap. The helicopter left the area at about 3:15 p.m. An amount taken, if any, had not been released as of 3:40 p.m. Floatopia not on agenda this week It is unlikely the upcoming floating alcohol party, known as Floatopia, on July 17 will be halted as the proposal that could stop such events does not appear on the City Council’s docket for either today or Tuesday. However, a representative from City Councilman Kevin Faulconer’s office said the item will surface sometime in July, but it is not yet docketed. A Floatopia event is scheduled take place on Saturday at Fanuel Park on Mission Bay, according to posts on Facebook. A unanimous vote by the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee sent the proposal to the City Council that supporters hope will close the loophole in the alcohol beach ban and put an end to future Floatopia events. Floatopias, also referred to as “Floatillas” and “Inner2bapalooza,” involve participants consuming alcohol while floating on Mission Bay in blow-up, non-motorized devices such as rafts, tubes and large “kiddie pools.” Partygoers take advantage of a loophole in the beach alcohol ban by drinking legally because they are not touching the shoreline, where alcohol consumption is banned. At the June 30 meeting at San Diego City Hall, the committee, made up of council members Marti Emerald, Tony Young, Sherri Lightner and Todd Gloria, heard the proposal from chief lifeguard Rick Wurtz and police Capt. Chris Ball asking the committee to approve a motion to add the definition of bather to the San Diego Municipal Code 56.54, which bans the consumption of alcohol on the city’s beaches. The committee’s recommendation now heads to the full City Council for consideration. A bather would be defined as “a person swimming, floating, wading, body surfing with or without the use of a floatation device …” The addition of this term would make it illegal for those floating within one marine league of the shoreline, equivalent to three nautical miles, to drink alcohol in the water. The original ordinance did not address alcohol consumption in the water, Wurtz said. —Debbie Hatch PB Town Council president explains fundraising dilemma The Pacific Beach Town Council’s (PBTC) ninth annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction held June 27 at Lotsa Pasta in Pacific Beach raised nearly $6,000 less than the previous year, and PBTC President Rose Galliher is saddened by the low turnout for the event that acts as one of the largest fundraisers for the organization. Last year $8,312 was raised and this year approximately $2,600 was raised. The PBTC used the funds raised last year to help support the new mural project at Mission Bay High School, the holiday parade and the library. The PBTC was also able to give Marlee Glasgow, 2010 valedictorian of Mission Bay High School, a $500 scholarship. Galliher noted that each year the money from the event is invested back into the community and it also helps cover office and insurance expenses of the PBTC. Only 59 tickets were sold this year compared to the 99 sold in 2009 and this affected the amount raised by the silent auction and the raffle tickets, she said. The board of the PBTC will discuss how the limited funds will be used in the coming year. Support from local businesses was also down, said Galliher, who fears that the low turnout is a sign that the public’s perception of the PBTC has been degraded over the recent controversy regarding the council lending its support to a deck expansion at the Pacific Beach Shore Club. Special event permit denied FreePB.org was denied a special event permit at last week’s Mission Bay Park Committee meeting. Robert Rynearson spoke on behalf of the organization that requested the permit for an event called “FreePB.org Leisure Olympics.” The organization asked to have the daylong event at Crown Point Shores South where it anticipated 100 participants alongside 100 spectators. Rynearson presented the Leisure Olympics as a family event, mentioning that his family would be in attendance. The event would consist of recreational competition, a picnic, amplified music and alcohol sales, he said. The committee voted against allowing the event citing the summer moratorium on special event permits should be applied. Stacy McKenzie, district manager of Mission Bay Park, explained that the summer moratorium on special event permits has been in effect since the 1970s. — Debbie Hatch THIS WEEK’S EVENTS: JULY 12-17 PACIFIC BEACH/MISSION BEACH MONDAY, JULY 12 • Discover PB Design and Improvements Committee meeting, 5 p.m., Discover PB office, 1503 Garnet Ave., (858) 273-3303 WEDNESDAY, JULY 14 • Discover PB Promotions Committee meeting, 3 p.m., Discover PB office, 1503 Garnet Ave., (858) 273-3303 • PBTC Sundowner, 5:30 p.m., Location TBD, 4474 Mission Blvd., (858) 483-6666 • Mission Beach Town Council meeting, 7 p.m., Community Room, Belmont Park, www.missionbeachtc.org THURSDAY, JULY 15 • “A News Correspondent Goes Sailing,” discussion with Gary Shepard, 1-3 p.m., Taylor Library, 4275 Cass St., (858) 581-9934, www.pblibraryfriends.org • 3rd annual A Taste for SPORTS event, 6-9:30 p.m., Bayview Room, Marina Village, 1936 Quivira Way, www.taste4sports.com, $50 SATURDAY, JULY 17 • Friends of Mission Bay Marshes meeting, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Kendall-Frost field station, Crown Point Dr. at Pacific Beach Dr., [email protected] • Old Mission Beach Athletic Club hosts the 57th annual Over-The-Line Tournament at Fiesta Island, The event is free.
