Point Loma hit-and-run case leads to search Police investigators are searching for a suspect in a hit-and-run accident Sunday in the Roseville area of Point Loma that left a pedestrian seriously injured. The 45-year-old woman was crossing westbound in the 1400 block of Rosecrans when she was struck by a vehicle — possibly a Volkswagen — that was heading north, according to San Diego police Sgt. David Jennings. The accident occurred about 10 p.m., said Jennings. The victim is reported to have suffered leg fractures and cuts. No other vehicle description was available, but the car is believed to be a dark compact, said police. 5K walk fundraiser to aid officers in home buying The San Diego Association of Realtors’ Amabassador Foundation will host a 5K walk fundraising event in Point Loma on Saturday, Nov. 15 to raise money for the “Everday Heroes” program. The program is designed to assist San Diego police officers in buying homes in the communities in which they serve, according to event organizers. The walk will take place at NTC Park at Liberty Station beginning at 8 a.m. KUSI-TV’s Joe Lizura, the spokesman for the event, will join police officers, Realtors and supporters on the brisk walk to call attention to the service of police officers and to help them achieve the dream of home ownership. Teams and individuals can sign up in advance for $25 per person and can make monetary donations by calling (619) 298-7400 or by visiting www.ambassadorsfoundation.org. Event organizers said four San Diego police officers were helped to purchase their first homes in 2008. ‘Education Day’ event to aid HTH programs The High Tech High (HTH) Village of Schools will launch its second annual “Liberty Station for Education Day” on Wednesday, Nov. 5 to better meet the needs of local students. The fundraising event, slated to take place from 1 to 6 p.m., is designed to raise much-needed funding for HTH education programs. According to event organizers, California’s ongoing budget battles and general economic downturn have put the pinch on funding flow to students. They cite Explorer Elementary School as an example, saying the elementary feeder school for the HTH system is funded at a level of $1,200 less per student than the actual costs incurred by the school. Last year’s “Liberty Station for Education Day” raised more than $8,000 for HTH students. This year’s event will include new activities, prizes and live entertainment by students from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and again from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Acts include the Explorer choir, bands, dancing and robotics demonstrations. With a component called “Taste of Liberty Station,” the event also serves a dual benefit in terms of boosting sales and exposure for Liberty Station’s shops and businesses. The tasting times for the many participating eateries are 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 to 6 p.m. The cost for the tasting is $15 per adult and $8 per student. Family packs are available for $35. Tickets may be purchased Nov. 3-5 at each of the HTH campuses. A host of businesses have donated items for a raffle. Individual tickets are $1; 13 tickets may be purchased for $10; and 30 tickets are available for $20.
