EMOTIONAL MEMORIAL
Residents are beingasked to sign a peti-tion on Ocean
Beach’s Neighborhood WatchFacebook page to take actionto “help to keep our sidewalksclean ensuring a healthierenvironment for everyone.”
“One complaint that is oftenheard about the downtownarea of Ocean Beach is howdirty, stained, and smelly thesidewalks are,” the online peti-tion reads.
“The OB Clean & Safe Pro-gram, a project of the OceanBeach MainStreet Association,is looking to change that byapplying for funding to providebi-monthly cleanings of New-port Avenue sidewalks, inaddition to installing addition-al trash bins along the street.

OB surfboard makerAlbert “Ace” Elliott lostmuch of what he’s
acquired, including 50-year-oldirreplaceable memorabilia, whenhis shaping shed on Froude Streetnear Saratoga Avenue caught fireon Aug. 6.
Elliott’s workspace was full ofold boards and photos of friendshe’d made custom boards for.
“I saw my bike was on fire in mybackyard and I tried to put it out,”said Elliott, who’s been riding e-bikes for years. “I picked up a fire
extinguisher, pulled the plug, hitthe fire — and it exploded. It justblew up in my face, like little shot-gun shells going off.”
“It was a nightmare,” addedElliott of his loss. “It was my littlego-back-in-time sanctuary. It’s nota dollar thing.”
Fortunately, the OB fire stationwas just around the corner andthey came and put it out sparingdamage to the main residence.
“[The fire] took all my boardsand tools, got my truck andcamper,” noted Elliott.

Ocean Beach planners not happy about ‘Complete Communities’ proposalBy DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon
A battle is brewing in Ocean Beach over the mayor’s “Complete Communities” plan, which some local planners believe is a densi-ty-enhancer and community-plan buster.
“This does feel like, out of all the coastal communities, that OB is being targeted, even though we’re all zoned for medium- to low-den-sity,” said OB Planning Board chair
Andrea Schlageter. “This is a big deal and it's not
getting the attention and scrutiny it deserves,” said Kevin Hastings, OB Plan Board vice-chair. “It’s amazing to me that people are not more aware of it: This is a massive change potentially.”
Complete Communities is an initiative being promoted by Mayor Kevin Faulconer to achieve housing goals and shape a more viable future for mobility, parks, and infrastructure. Complete Communities is an urban and rural planning concept that aims to meet
the basic needs of all residents in a community, regardless of income, culture, or political ideologies. That is accomplished through integrated land-use and transportation plan-ning and community design.

Gyms, hair salons, and barbershops back in businessBy DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon
As more and more Point Loma and Ocean Beach merchants re-emerge from the shadow of the lockdown into the light, they’re f inding a changing business landscape.
Fitness studios, for instance, are f inding the “new normal” is forcing them to adapt their business model to new health restrictions.
FITNESS GETS BACK ON TRACK
“We have had to make some adjustments, and work with our clients to make sure they are comfortable and meet their needs,” said Nate Church of On Track Wellness Martial Arts and Fitness at 3481 Kurtz St. near Pechanga Arena. “We have add-ed an option to reserve workout stations. You can reserve a rack for up to an hour that allows you to squat, bench, or do oth-er workouts knowing you have space and equipment.”
Church said his fitness studio still has small-group classes “re-duced even more in size,” as well as offering one-on-one training.
“For martial arts, we have also reduced class sizes and fo-cus on drills and use of equip-ment to keep distance,” added Church noting On Track has “adjusted class times to allow cleaning in between classes and to have touchless entry and exit options.”
“We have always run smaller class sizes and, being a small-er gym, know all our members closely,” continued Church. “This gives everyone comfort as well. The community has always been big for us. We encourage everyone to keep supporting lo-cal businesses.”
BARBERSHOP TURNS INSIDE-OUT
Jason Bullard of Sunset Clipps at 4804 Santa Monica Ave., ful-f illed a dream in setting up a shop chair and canopy with all the tools of his trade working outside on the day he re-opened.
“I’ve always wanted to do out-door cuts,” he said adding, “It was well received.”
Bullard said his outdoor cut-ting pilot project was prompted “by social distancing and the fact that I have a very small shop with just four stations. The first day back we were hit by all these rules and regulations including distance separation. That meant someone had to go outside.”
Though he’s not cutting out-side presently, Bullard said he fully intends to do so “once it gets warmer.” He pointed out health officials are saying virus transmission is less likely out-doors, yet another inducement to offer outdoor haircutting as a future client option.
YOGA ‘SANCTUARY’ HOSTS
COMMUNITY TABLE
Elka Yoga & Wellness Center, an educational “sanctuary” at 4166 Voltaire St. in OB has done something novel: putting out a community table for people to donate to and take free food/products at the intersection of Voltaire and Catalina.
“Kindness has a ripple effect,” posted Anna Fernandez of Elka Yoga. “There are over 21,000 households in Ocean Beach and Point Loma. Imagine if everyone just brought one item to share with those in need in our com-mUNITY. Thank you to all of those who have donated.”
POINT LOMA SPORTS CLUB A NEW PROTOTYPE
Gary Rubin is the owner of Point Loma Sports Club at 2751 Roosevelt Road in Liberty Station. He said, after getting over the “shock and uncertain-ty of the government-mandated closure” in mid-March, that he “decided to choose his own fate” seeing his closure as “an oppor-tunity” to improve his club with fresh paint throughout, new f looring, and a magnif icent, massive mural capturing the beauty of San Diego's timeless beaches.
Added Rubin: “Our mindset has always been about support-ing our community, and having fun while sharing the joy and sometimes necessity of exer-cise to anyone looking to im-prove their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. We began drawing up the blueprint for an eventual reopening date, one that encompassed the experts' health guidelines and ref lected the unique personality of our members. We began intensive

Managing Withdrawals Carefully Can Protect Retirement Income
Throughout much of your working life, you contribute to your 401(k), IRA and other investment accounts to help ensure a comfortable retirement. How-ever, once you do retire, you’ll need to shift your focus somewhat from build-ing these investments to using them – in other words, you’ll have to start with-drawing from your portfolio to meet the costs of living. How can you be sure you’re not taking out so much that you risk outliving your resources?
First of all, you need to establish a proper withdrawal rate – the percentage of your portfolio’s value needed for one year’s worth of retirement expenses. Ideally, if you were to stick with this rate, your portfolio would last as long as you do. Your withdrawal rate should be based on a number of factors, includ-ing your age, amount of assets, portfolio mix and retirement lifestyle. A finan-cial professional can help you determine the rate that’s right for you, but it's important to understand that this rate is a starting point since you will want to review your withdrawals each year to ensure they are still appropriate.
If the financial markets performed smoothly and predictably, year in and year out, any adjustments you make would likely be more modest. But, as you know, and as we’ve all been reminded the last several months, the markets are neither smooth nor predictable. Rather than constantly trying to change your with-drawal rate and spending in response to movements in the markets – which may be challenging if you have grown accustomed to a certain standard of liv-ing – you might be better off adopting a more conservative rate at the beginning of your retirement. For example, if you are in your mid-60s, you could start at a withdrawal rate of about 4%, which also assumes an increase in withdrawals (a "raise") of approximately 3% each year to incorporate inflation. By starting at a more modest withdrawal rate, you would have some flexibility for those years in which the market drops significantly. And you could increase your chances of extending the lifetime of your portfolio.
But even if you started out with a conservative rate, you may need to review it during periods of extreme market movements. If, for instance, your portfolio were to fall 20% in one year, the 4% you had planned to withdraw would actu-ally become 5% because you’re taking out the amount you had planned, but now it's from a smaller pool of money. If this happens, should you consider making an adjustment?
There’s no easy answer. The amount you withdraw from your portfolio has a major impact on how long your money lasts. You'll improve your likelihood of success if you are able to be flexible and make some spending adjustments – spending less on some of your discretionary items, for example, or not taking a "raise" until your portfolio recovers. Importantly, your financial advisor can help run different scenarios to determine if adjustments need to be made to ensure you remain on track
In any case, think carefully about your withdrawal rate. By managing it care-fully, and reviewing it over time, you can take greater control over your retire-ment income.

With open spaces, new restaurants, and golf, Liberty Station ready for summerHotspots in Liberty Station start-
ed welcoming guests back as they reopen their dining rooms and retail shops with social distanc-ing and other health protocols in-place.
“Our main goal is to make guests feel comfortable. Whether they’re dining out, shopping or enjoying the ample outdoor space, we want to minimize any hesitation about reopening these shared spaces,” said Joe Haussler, executive vice president of Pendulum Property Partners, Liberty Station’s largest leaseholder.
“We’ve increased sanitation protocols throughout the proper-ty and are actively encouraging social distancing, with seating expansions and rearrangements. We are confident in these safety measures and excited to welcome the community back to Liberty Station,” Haussler said.
INVITING OUTDOOR SPACESWith summer nearly here,
Liberty Station’s open patios and wide-open spaces are perfect for sunbathing or people watching while maintaining proper social distancing.
Check out the patio at Liberty Public Market for an alfresco treat or cool off with an iced cof-fee at Moniker General. Book your tee time, grab your clubs, and
enjoy a round of golf at The Loma Club. Take a stroll around South Promenade and North Promenade, but don't forget to stop and smell the roses at the Sybil Stockdale Rose Garden.
And nothing says “relaxation” quite like an afternoon of watching the clouds go by with an enviable picnic at Liberty Station’s NTC Park.
Many of San Diego’s favorite entrepreneurs have found a home within the dynamic neighbor-hood including Cohn Restaurant Group, Stone Brewing, Blue Bridge Hospitality, CH Projects, Rise & Shine Restaurant Group, Moniker
Group, Buona Forchetta, the duo behind You & Yours Distilling and many more.
THE PRESLEYA stylish patio haven slated to
open in July, The Presley is part of San Diego-based hospitality col-lective Good Time Design (Bub’s @ The Ballpark, The Blind Burro, Moonshine Beach). The concept's namesake is a meaningful nod to CEO and family man Ty Hauter’s daughter, Presley.
The Presley takes the lease of the former 3,370 square-foot Fireside venue. With 2,070 square feet dedicated to outdoor dining and
patio space, the restaurant is a wel-comed addition to Liberty Station’s family-friendly hub along Perry Road. Marked by notable design touches including lush greenery and custom swinging benches, the neighborhood eatery will cel-ebrate American cuisine showcas-ing shared plates and flatbreads, in addition to hearty salads and sandwiches, all curated by Good Time Design.
STONE BREWINGStone Brewing World Bistro &
Gardens reopened June 15. With safety the first priority, the bistro has opened its expansive gardens to offer the signature Stone expe-rience of outdoor dining, world-in-spired cuisine, and the best in local craft beer. The bistro has re-opened with safety measures that meet and exceed the state and local mandates and recommendations.
“We are fortunate to have the benefit of space at both of our bistros,” said Gregg Frazer, Stone

PLNU economic analysis: Growth rates may look impressive at first, but recovery will be slow
By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon A Point Loma Nazarene
University economist believes the economy will rebound, though slowly because of the “deep hole we’re digging ourselves out of” from the pandemic lockdown.
The Peninsula Beacon held a Q&A with Dr. Lynn Reaser, the chief economist for the Fermanian Business and Economic Institute at PLNU. The institute engages in economic analysis, modeling, and forecasting for corporations, non-profit organizations, and govern-ment agencies
Beacon: What kind of an eco-nomic recovery are we looking at? Long or short? What factors are at play?
Reaser: Gains and growth rate rates will look impressive. However, because we are digging out of such a deep hole, it is like-ly to take until the end of 2021 before employment returns to pre-Covid-19 levels. Three factors will determine what the recovery ultimately looks like The virus, will there be a second wave?; The science, how soon will we have a vaccine or, at least, widespread testing and tracing?; and con-sumer behavior, will consumers feel safe enough to shop, dine, and move about and will they have the buying power to fuel the economy?
Beacon: Is San Diego going to lag because, to a certain degree, it is tourist-dependent?
Reaser: In April, which is likely to mark the bottom of the down-turn, San Diego’s total job market suffered a loss that was approxi-mately equal to that experienced for both the state and nation as a whole. Although we have a some-what larger dependence on tour-ism, there are significant offsets. The most important of those is our link to defense.
Beacon: What does San Diego's economy have working in favor of it? Against it?
Reaser: For: Our diversity, in-cluding technology, biotech, and defense.
Against: The importance of restaurants, hotels, cruise ships, and transportation, especially parts dependent on foreign travel.
Beacon: Do you anticipate these stricter health regulations will be-come permanent?
Reaser: After an effective vac-cine becomes available, life is likely to look more like our pre-Covid-19 existence than its cur-rent mode.
Beacon: Unemployment is at levels not seen since the Great Depression a century ago. Are we looking at double-digit unemploy-ment for a protracted period?
Reaser: Unemployment is likely to fall below double-digits by next year as companies reopen, call back workers, or hire addition-al employees. Not all of the same jobs will return, but others will be created and new firms will appear. A year from now with a vaccine could also change the economic landscape in a decidedly positive direction.
Beacon: Obviously this reces-sion/depression is a great deal dif-ferent than the one nearly a centu-ry ago. Talk about the differences between now and then.

“We set out to make the ex-perience optimistic and fun, and after hundreds of hours of preparation felt that we'd finally struck the right tone and could open the doors confident in our abilities, which we did to great relief and excitement from our members.”
Rubin said the new club fea-tures a screening table and tem-perature checks for members and staff as well prior to entering
the building, an abundance of signage and hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes throughout. Additional staff has been hired to wipe down surfaces relent-lessly throughout each day, and a new floor plan with equipment spaced at least six-feet apart with even some outdoor options now available.
“Masks are required through-out the majority of the club,” said Rubin. “But we have a dedicat-ed area where they are option-al as long as social distancing guidelines are maintained. This area arose from requests from a number of members who, based on their medical conditions and doctor’s recommendations,
could not safely work out with a mask on. We seek to honor and listen and improve the health of everyone, and to mitigate risk and keep all members of our community safe.”
Continued Rubin: “We are lucky. Fresh air f lows from an al-most unlimited amount of win-dows and high ceilings, and the club is spacious and glistening with plenty of space for members to enjoy the experience safely.

PARKLAND AND GARDENSLiberty Station’s footprint also
sees no shortage of comfortable open spaces, with more than 48 acres of parkland, gardens and open-air walkways. In a move to
safely reactivate the area’s restau-rants and retailers, Liberty Station will soon see a surplus of the so-cially distanced outdoor dining room, with more than 100 addi-tional shaded tables and 430 chairs spaced throughout three main hospitality hubs – Arts District, The Quarter and South Point.
The neighborhood hopes this nod to a more casual outdoor ca-fe culture will help San Diegans feel comfortable eating out again and help its restaurants begin to recover. Now open onsite dining and to-go:
ARTS DISTRICT • Liberty Public Market • Corvette Diner • Officine Buona Forchetta • Moniker General
• Loma Club • Dirty Birds • Slater’s 50/50
THE QUARTER • Tender Greens • Ikiru Sushi • Luna Grill • Five Guys • Poké 123 • Panera • Cold Stone Creamery
SOUTH POINT • Sushi Ya • Oggi’s • Smashburger • Los Primos • Issara Thai • Harbor Greek Café.

Priority Areas; remove regulatory barriers to housing at all income levels; invest in neighborhood rec-reational parks, plazas and prom-enades; and support needier com-munities with funding to provide neighborhood amenities.
Pointing out that “if you look at OB and PB the only (planning) difference is [OB] doesn't have single-family homes,” Schlageter said, “It’s crazy to me that we al-ready have a way to upzone (our community plan) without going through the process of communi-ty feedback.”
She added; “We want the City to listen to us. The City should be working with us.”
“In the late 1960s, city planners
and developers devised a plan to transform Ocean Beach in-to high-density condos, apart-ments, and hotels,” said Hastings. “OBceans organized and fought back, which ultimately led to a rewrite of the community plan to preserve the small-scale develop-ment model. Fifty years later, his-tory is repeating itself.”
Hastings noted the current zon-ing and OB Community Plan limits housing density to four dwellings per 7,000 feet to lots west of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, and two dwell-ings per lot east of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. He added it also limits the building’s total floor area to 70-75% of the lot area, the FAR.
“The Complete Communities proposal would allow FAR up to 800%, and allow as many units that would fit based on the build-ing code minimum of 150 feet per
unit,” Hastings said. “The only real limitations would be setbacks and the 30-feet coastal height limit.”
Contends Schlageter: “OB can’t take the density. We have only a couple of roads in and out. We have one bus line. It seems like the City wants OB to take more densi-ty so they can take more tourists and collect more tourist dollars. They’re selling out our communi-ties for tourism dollars.”
Hastings concurred, agree-ing the City needs to take a less heavy-handed approach to increase density in coastal communities.
“They don’t need to take the sledgehammer and beat us over the head with it,” he said. “That’s not planning. That’s dictating. They shouldn’t be bypassing commu-nity groups and the discretionary process.”

Despite a pause, Point Loma Association continues mission on PeninsulaBy DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon
Despite the pandemic, the Point Loma Association remains busy fulfilling its mission of beautifying the Peninsula.
Since its founding in 1960, the PLA, a nonprofit with a 20-mem-ber board and 10 committees, has worked diligently to enhance the quality of life for Point Loma residents, businesses and visitors through the implementation of strategic and impactful public
space improvements.“The PLA board is continuing
to meet monthly online,” said Clark Burlingame, PLA board member, and past chair, on the status of ongoing projects.
“ O u r A n c h o r L i g h t s Project is going through the City’s Development Services Department,” said Burlingame. “After the first review, revisions are underway and we plan to sub-mit again within the next couple of weeks. Board member JT Barr
heads that effort.”The PLA received a $60,000
grant from the county for the multi-phased Anchor Lights project. The project will install a series of string lights across Rosecrans Street from Talbot to Cañon Street, creating a beacon of light highlighting the importance of the historic Point Loma Village.
Another project on the PLA’s plate is a redo of the front land-scaping for SDFD Fire Station 20 to eliminate weeds/grass
replacing those with water-wise plants, rock, etc., being spear-headed by PLA master gardener Karen Davis.
“Our Mean Green Team has been ‘furloughed’ during the pandemic,” noted Burlingame. “However, individual members have continued to work on their own (weeding, pruning, picking up trash), wearing masks but leav-ing their green vests at home. In the next few weeks, they hope to get back to their weekly Friday morning work parties, using ap-propriate health protection.”
Point Loma Association members have pointed out to the city that trash cans in Point Loma and Ocean Beach were over-flowing, like this one on Cable Street. PHOTO COURTESY OF PLARead more online at sdnews.com

RETURN OF OB FARMERS MARKET A SUCCESS
“OB Farmers Market opened and by all accounts people were excited and enjoyed the market,” said Denny Knox of Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. “The weather was incredible. The farm-ers and pre-packaged food vendors were so happy to be back. We’re
taking our direction from the City (special events) as to when and how we can expand from 40 ven-dors to a more normal number.”
Added Knox, “People were prac-ticing social distancing and we had all our protocols in place. Twelve volunteers helped us run the mar-ket. We couldn’t have done it with-out them. Hopefully, we can add
music back into the OB Farmers Market at some point. We want to thank everyone who came out to support the OB Farmers Market for our first week back.”
Concerning the reorganiza-tion of OBMA, which lost a major fundraiser with cancellation of the summer OB Street Fair, Knox said, “We have so much on our plate right now that it has zapped our creative juices. We’re very hope-ful that our local businesses, and OBMA, can continue to move for-ward and look to a brighter future for everyone. We’re also grateful that we have all made it this far and are finding our way to 2021.”
SEARCH FOR NEW POINT LOMA PRINCIPAL
With the departure of current principal Hans Becker, members of the Point Loma High School community were encouraged to participate in the selection of the school's next educational leader.
These stakeholders will be play-ing a vital role in determining who will be named to lead the school according to the San Diego Unified School District.
School staff and parents were asked to indicate their interest in the process by contacting vice prin-cipal Dana Tolomeo ([email protected]). Respondents were asked to be available to participate in virtual candidate interviews scheduled to be held June 22 and 23 via Zoom.
In addition, a Leadership Input Survey was available online ask-ing staff and community members their hopes and dreams for stu-dents at PLHS. Also sought were desired leadership characteristics, skills and expertise of candidates by surveyed persons.
The new principal is expected to be named by June 30. The suc-cessful candidate will oversee the remaining phases of the school's ongoing complete site moderniza-tion program as well as the 100th
anniversary of PLHS in 2025.
DONATIONS SOUGHT FOR SKATEBOARDER
A young man nicknamed “Cambo” who was riding a skate-board was killed recently by a hit-and-run driver at Voltaire and Seaside streets. There is a move now to put a stop sign there.
Those who knew him said Cameron believed in doing ev-erything possible to minimize his carbon footprint; he cared deeply for this planet. In keeping with his spirit, in lieu of flowers, those who knew him are being urged to vol-unteer with or donate in his name to these organizations:
Portland Fruit Tree Project (PFTP) portlandfruit.org a glean-ing organization in Portland, Ore.
The mission of PFTP is to pro-mote food justice, prevent food waste, and strengthen the com-munity. Wild Willow Farm wild-willowfarm.org in San Diego. Cameron had spent many hours volunteering at Wild Willow, a five-acre working farm that pro-vides educational experiences to nurture self-empowerment and inspire people to connect to food, land and each other.
SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY DAY OF GIVING
San Diego Humane Society’s fifth annual Day of Giving, one of SDHS’s largest fundraising cam-paigns of the year, will be held June 25. This whole month, the organi-zation has been raising vital funds necessary to help care for nearly 50,000 animals in need each year.
With a goal of raising $570,500, generous donors have committed more than $200,000 in matching funds for donations made before midnight on June 25. Community Partners — businesses including breweries and stores with goods ranging from artwork to apparel — are also participating by donat-ing a portion of sales during June
to support SDHS.“Day of Giving unites our en-
tire community to celebrate our shared compassion for animals in need and support the work of SDHS,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president/CEO of SDHS. “Providing a safety net for tens of thousands of pets and wildlife each year takes an incredible amount of resourc-es and support from animal lovers throughout San Diego.”
The funds raised for Day of Giving will support shelter ex-penses, veterinary care, behavior training, humane law enforce-ment, community education and other vital SDHS programs and services.

PARKING ENFORCEMENT TO RESTART JULY 1
In an effort to support local businesses and continue essential operations, the City of San Diego will resume enforcement of all parking regulations starting on Wednesday, July 1. The enforce-ment will begin with a two-week grace period, during which vio-lators will receive written warn-ings. Citations with correspond-ing fines will be issued beginning Wednesday, July 15.
As more City services and fa-cilities reopen to the public, many City employees, including parking enforcement staff, who had been deployed to assist with closures at the start of the COVID-19 pandem-ic are now being called back to re-sume their normal shifts. Bringing back parking enforcement is iden-tified as one small step toward re-storing San Diego’s economy.
In developing a plan to restart parking enforcement, City staff consulted with several business groups representing communities across San Diego. Business owners were overwhelmingly in support of resuming enforcement, specifically meter time limits, as restaurants, salons and retail shops are being reopened to walk-in customers un-der new public health guidelines related to COVID-19.
The City suspended citations for vehicles violating street sweeping, metered parking, time limits and yellow commercial zones on March 16 after the state and county stay-at-home order went into effect. Parking enforcement was limited to holiday or Sunday regulations only. Citations have been, and will continue to be, issued for vehicles parked illegally at red and blue painted curbs.
PRIDE TO DONATE TO LGBTQ WORKERS
As the Covid-19 pandemic con-tinues to create economic hard-ships on businesses and local workers, San Diego Pride, along with presenting sponsor Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and with sup-port from Tequila Herradura, will distribute $30,000 in gift cards as part of their Pride Grocery Relief Fund for LGBTQ Bar and Restaurant Workers.

Why is the Black Lives Matter movement important?‘It’s not just a Black community issue, it’s a human rights issue’
By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon
Like an erupting volcano, the tragic murder of George Floyd is igniting an outpouring of indig-nation within San Diego’s Black community, which is demanding reform, social justice, and an end to racial inequality through the Black Lives Matter movement.
Earlier this month, several local African-American spokespeople participated in an hour-long Zoom webinar on social justice and ac-countability in the wake of Floyd’s murder.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international human rights move-ment, originating from within the African-American community, which campaigns against violence and systemic racism toward black people.
Most people are familiar with BLM from when NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee on the sidelines before a game in 2016 to protest against racial injustice. But the movement actually began earlier, in 2013, with the use of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shoot-ing death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
The movement became na-tionally recognized for street
demonstrations following the 2014 deaths of two African Americans: Michael Brown — re-sulting in protests and unrest in Ferguson, a city near St. Louis — and Eric Garner in New York City.
Sa n D iego C om mu n it y Newspaper Group caught up with three of the participants in the webinar – Dr. Roxanne J. Kymaani, Dominic Porter, and Dr. Kristopher Hall – as well as Black student Khadijah Abdulmateen, to get their pulse on Black Lives Matter, and why that should mat-ter to everyone.
“There is a significant difference in the way that protests are seen based on the color of your skin, and what you’re fighting for,” said Kymaani, president at Kymaani Catalyst Consulting. “That, in and of itself, is deeply ingrained, and why this fight continues to exist.”
“I definitely agree with that,” said Hall, assistant professor for School of Leadership and Education Sciences at University of San Diego.
“Our country originated with the genocide of indigenous Americans and the enslavement of Blacks, and our history is one of bloodshed and violence. We’ve never, as a country, tried to recon-cile those things. There is still a lot of work to be done to get everyone on an equal footing.”
“This issue is really about the dehumanization and lack of ac-countability or concern about injustice and violence against Black community members at a disproportionate rate,” said Porter, chief of staff at RISE San Diego, a community-based orga-nization committed to building real urban neighborhoods at the grassroots level. “That injustice and violence is too easily disre-garded, and often forgotten, to the point where we become de-sensitized to the issue.”
For Mira Costa Community College student Abdulmateen, BLM is all about proactively ad-dressing racial injustice and inequality.
“Youth are joining up to de-mand to ban the use of rubber bul-lets used on protesters,” she said. “For me, this movement is about ending violence in my community. Black people have been oppressed in this country for 450 years, and it’s time we see some change be-ing enacted to remove inequality in our society and police brutality on the streets.”
Kymaani said the cure for racial injustice and inequality is for peo-ple to own up to their “own hidden bias, their own racism, and accept that our society is one of white privilege. What it takes to remove bigotry starts with accountability,
starts with acknowledgment and acceptance that this is a prob-lem, and every single person in this country needs to look within themselves and see if they are col-luding in the racism.”
Concerning police reform, Hall said, “We need to have a real hon-est conversation about what is the purpose of police, and how we do the preventative work (counseling, social work, intervention, etc.) so that policing isn’t necessary. They (police) exist in communities to keep order, but the order would never need to be kept if we devoted the resources, mental health, edu-cation, etc. to solve social problems so policing isn’t as necessary.”
Porter said what needs to be done to redress injustice and inequality against Black people is to “remove the psychological conditioning
that allows those types of behav-iors (police brutality) to go on, and to increase accountability for crimes and violence against the Black community. We need to re-humanize Black people. This is not just a Black community issue. This is a human rights issue.”
Abdulmateen said it’s important for society to “support Black folks during this time and listen to their concerns.”
Noting she learned about the cy-cle of racism and violence against Black people from her parents and grandparents Abdulmateen added: “the torch has been passed to our generation and we have to contin-ue this fight until we don’t see folks being killed in the street for the col-or of their skin. We’re trying to put an end to this. People are just fed up. They’re tired.”

Pointer grads celebrate with Shelter Island paradeMembers of the Point Loma
High School Class of 2020 picked up their caps and gowns without knowing if they would ever get to wear them. But
that opportunity came June 9 when graduates cl imbed in-to and atop cars and trucks to celebrate thei r achieve -ments during a smile-f i l led
parade along Shelter Island that stretched for two miles.
Mothers of junior class stu-dents, as is tradition, planned and orchestrated the parade.
It allowed each young student to shine for far more time than the traditional commencement exercise in the school's stadi-um. Many parents suggested
the pa rade become a n a n-nual event. A formal grad-uation ceremony remains a possibility.

Colorful sculpture brightens the neighborhoodBy THOMAS MELVILLE| The Beacon
In late winter, a mischievous postdoctoral scholar at Scripps – and a few of her friends – brought a little bit of magic and mystery from the desert to Ocean Beach.
On March 7, a 10-feet tall, 8-feet long, and 3-feet wide unicorn, weighing nearly 600 pounds, arrived on a flatbed truck and took residence at the corner of Venice Street and Del Mar Avenue. Affectionately named Tiny, the massive sculpture from Black Rock City – filled with a rainbow of LED lights and a heavy metal soundtrack – moved in to stand sen-tinel over the quiet neighborhood.
“I wasn’t sure about the neigh-bors,” said Rachel Hiner, who wel-comed the mythical beast next to her home. “A lot of them are set in their ways.”
But after the quarantine began, and parks and trails were closed, and people were forced to actually walk around their neighborhoods to get some fresh air and exercise (and to keep sane), more and more locals discovered Tiny, which be-came an insta (@the.toxic.unicorn) celebrity for Ocean Beach residents.
“It was surprising how much people love it,” said Hiner, who’s friends with Tiny’s creator, Madeleine Hamann. “It’s been a positive experience.”
The sculpture, intended to draw onlookers with its grace and gal-lantry, and admired from afar for its kaleidoscopic body, is more than just a pretty face. Its beauty comes with an emotional and environ-mental price – a perfect metaphor for present day. And in a way to em-phasize her point, Hamann added a final kick to the “Toxic Unicorn.”
“Tiny has a secret, shocking sur-prise,” Hamann said. “She delivers a pretty startling electric shock if you grab her horn!”
So how did Tiny make it from the playa at Burning Man to the hills of east Ocean Beach? We caught up with Hamann to let her explain the journey in an in-depth Q&A.
Beacon: Why build a Toxic Unicorn?
Hamann: "Toxic Unicorn" came out of a conversation about how we all have these people we've met who seem so amazing – magical,
mesmerizing – on the first encoun-ter. But the more time you spend with them, the more you realize that there's something... off, really off. Like, I need to extract myself from this person's purview ASAP. Toxic Unicorn people.
But then, it dawned on me that we as a society actually have a sim-ilar relationship with plastic. It's an amazing material – versatile, pli-able, waterproof, etc. And it's en-abled a huge amount of innovation since its introduction before WWII. A little less than a century later, though, and we're having that “aha” moment, realizing that plas-tic's toxic effects might overshadow its sparkly, magical appeal.
Beacon: Is it made from recycled materials?
Hamann: Tiny is made of waf-fled plywood and coated with re-cycled 55-gallon food-grade drums. These drums are used for a variety of food shipments and unfortunate-ly can't be reused for their original purpose due to FDA regulations. They are often downcycled or re-purposed for other non-food uses. But with some cleaning, they made great material for Tiny's outer shell. She also has a mane that is a bit more fragile and not currently in place that is made of 2-liter bottles cut into long strands.
Beacon: How long did it take to build?
Hamann: We built Tiny at San Diego Collaborative Arts Project's "Colab" art facility. We had a core team of five: Me, Dave Doerner, Brian Tran, Cole Whalen, and
Bryson Arenas, and we had a lot of support from artists on special proj-ects (Ensari Cokur, Chelsea Pattee, Max Elliot, and Diane Hoffoss) and from many volunteers who came out to support us on build days. It was a community effort for sure. We started applying for grants in November 2018, started planning in earnest in January 2019, and finished her up minutes before we set her up in the desert in August 2019. Almost a full year.
Beacon: Why is it next to your partner’s sister’s house?
Hamann: After Burning Man, art pieces created at Colab need to find a new home in order to make space for the next art projects that will be made there. Lots of art just goes into storage or gets destroyed after it serves its in-tended event, but with sustainability in mind, we designed Tiny in a way that would allow her to be installed outdoors for longer temporary in-stalls. Besides, it's way more fun to see her all the time than to pull her out once in a blue moon.
Beacon: What do you think of it gaining fans?
Hamann: I think it's great. She went in right before quarantine kicked in, but even in just that first week, we noticed how many more people were coming by the house on their walks. Where we used to see 1-2 people ev-ery morning, it became five,10, even 20-plus people working her into their walk. I saw neighbors who had nev-er met pass by at the same time and strike up a conversation.

Street names: Authors in Ocean Beach and gems in Pacific Beach By KATHERINE HON | The Beacon
The original names of more than 250 streets in San Diego were changed by Ordinance No. 755 adopted May 21, 1900. This or-dinance brought authors to Point Loma and gems to Pacific Beach, among many other changes im-plemented to eliminate duplica-tion and achieve some continuity where street names changed from tract to tract.
The source of names in alphabeti-cal order in Ordinance No. 755 was Louis Jackson Davids, the relatively new city engineer. He noted in his transmittal memorandum to the Board of Public Works that his sug-gestions for new street names were “taken from natural objects (trees, flowers etc.) or from men celebrated in science, literature, statesman-ship, war etc.; care being taken to maintain alphabetical order.”
Who were some of the celebrat-ed gentlemen honored by street names that we still see today?
AUTHORS IN POINT LOMA AND OCEAN BEACH
Ordinance No. 755 gave Point Loma neighborhoods their al-phabetical authors from Addison to Zouch (later changed to Zola). Joseph Addison (1672-1719) was an English essayist and poet, and Thomas Zouch (1737-1815) was an English clergyman and writer. These names and the authors in between replaced First through Twenty-sixth streets in Roseville.
The alphabet started over with Alcott through Dumas for Twenty-seventh through Thirtieth streets in Roseville and continued with Elliott through Meredith for Thirty-first through Thirty-ninth streets in what was identified in Ordinance No. 755 as Mannasse
& Schiller’s Addition and is now Loma Portal.
Meredith Street is no longer, but might have honored George Meredith (1828-1909), an English novelist and poet. Elliott Street
remains, perhaps for Ebenezer Elliott (1781-1849), an English poet who became a passionate advocate for the poor, inspired by his own experience of being homeless, facing starvation and contemplating suicide.
For more about some of these al-phabetical authors, visit reading-betweenthelampposts.com/Site/Welcome.html, which describes the 2013 book, “Reading Between the Lampposts: The Literary Giants of Loma Portal” edited by Elaine Fotinos Burrell and Karla Lapic. The book contains essays that highlight the lives of 26 authors memorialized by street names in Loma Portal. The essays were writ-ten by 26 neighborhood families based on their research of the au-thor name of their street. The web-site notes that each biographical essay contains a photo or drawing of the author, list of works, excerpts of writings, and references for
further reading. Seventeen other tracts — includ-
ing Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, Morena, La Playa and West End — also had their numbered street names replaced with different names courtesy of city engineer Davids in 1900.
Ocean Beach’s First through Seventh streets became the alpha-betical Abbott, Bacon, Cable, Defoe, Ebers, Froude and Guizot streets. These can be tied to historians and writers from various countries. John Stevens Cabot Abbott (1805-1877) was an American histori-an whose popular books included works about Napoleon, the Civil War and Frederick the Great.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626), an English philosopher, statesman and patron of libraries, was con-sidered the father of empiricism.
