Mannequins on parade
Pacific Beach boutiques along the 900 block of Garnet
Avenue have demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit lately. At
opening time each morning, the trendy stores place their mannequins modeling the stores’ apparel along the sidewalk, giving
the appearance that the mannequins are on parade. Among the
boutiques participating in the morning ritual are Avril, Madison
boutique, Forward Footwear and Mint.
Pipe replacement project continues
The replacement of about
eight miles of water pipes in
Pacific Beach will have portions of the streets tied up
through 2013, according to a
project description from the
city’s Capital Projects and
Engineering Department. The
estimated $10.4 million project that recently took over

The decades-old cast iron pipes, caked with sediment, will
be replaced by 8-inch and 12-inch plastic PVC pipes.
“Highlines” set up to deliver water to homes along the curb
could interrupt water flow to homes if damaged or disturbed.
“We advise residents and drivers in the areas of the highlines to be mindful and be careful when driving over them to
avoid damage to the highline and avoid damage to the vehicles’
tires,” said Ana Maria Rojas, public information officer for the
Engineering and Capital Projects Department.

for his roles in the long string of Air Bud movies, as well as his spectacular ball-playing skills showcased on popular TV shows.
Owner fondly recalls the journey to stardom for PB’s top dog
BY KEVIN DI CICCO
As Buddy Jr. and I, my photographer and great friend, Ralf
Wilkowski, and the Mission Bay High School cheerleaders waited
our turn to march down Garnet Avenue for the Pacific Beach Holiday Parade last December, I thought to myself how far we have traveled since that spring day back in 1990.
Tucked away in our tiny backyard behind the Spice Rack restaurant (where Ralphs sits today), and after months and months of
practice, my dog Buddy, a golden retriever, made history by sinking
a regulation basketball through a regulation 10-foot rim. We had set
a goal for ourselves to prove what was thought be impossible, but our
day had come and a star was born.
Very quickly, I marketed Buddy’s talent. Within weeks, we became
finalists on “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” winning second place.
Months later, the “Late Show with David Letterman” was calling. We
appeared on “Stupid Pet Tricks,” and much to the delight of the host,
when Buddy sank the second shot on national television, Letterman
brought Buddy back for an encore where Buddy sank the first shot.
Then the NBA came calling. When Buddy performed a halftime
show on Christmas Day 1991 at the L.A. Forum in a Lakers vs. Clippers rivalry, Buddy had a better shooting percentage than three of the
starting players on the Clippers team. Now, Buddy was a sports figure to be reckoned with in the NBA. He soon became known as “Air
Bud,” a take-off of Air Jordan.
But it was perhaps Buddy’s third national television appearance
that solidified his presence in the industry. We were invited back to

• Crown Point resident Stephen Kirby, 27,
ran in the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Half Marathon on Jan. 23 wearing a
Pac Man costume the entire race. He finished in 2:02:59.
• Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because Pacific Beach resident Jim Forrey
felt like unleashing his shrub-shaping
artistry — that’s why. Forrey said he
spent the last five years shaping the large
shrub into the shape of a chicken, which
looks like it‘s stretching to cross the street.
Forrey’s masterpiece can be spotted at

Webb III of Home Bank
of California, 875 Garnet Ave., announced that Angela Davies is the new business development manager responsible for business services, depository
relationships and marketing.
Try this route for a bike ride
Jim Forrey’s chicken.
If you’re looking for a good way to get some fresh air, a little exercise and some sun, the boardwalk is a great place to get
started. I usually set out on my bike, but a skateboard, roller
blades or good running shoes for the more ambitious is all you
need.
First, hop on the boardwalk somewhere around Crystal
Pier (a little further north or south doesn’t really matter).
Then head south on the boardwalk where you can do some
people watching and wave hunting along the way. Once you
get to Ventura Place (where the roller coaster is), make a left.
Go straight through the light on the south side of the street,
which turns into West Mission Bay Drive. Instead of staying
on the bike path, cut through Belmont Park on your right
where you can link back up with a good riding path along the
bay’s edge. This path will bring you under the overpass and
back to the north side of West Mission Bay Drive. From there,
it’s just a short ride through a parking lot along the bay and
right back onto West Mission Bay Drive. Instead of going
back to the boardwalk though, you can take a right onto the
bike path along the bay, which tends to provide a quieter and
more serene overall experience than the boardwalk. The bike
path on the bay will bring you all the way back to Pacific
Beach Drive where you can cut back to your original starting
point.
It’s only a three- to four-mile adventure with no hills to
speak of, but it’s a healthy way to get outside without having
to go too far.

REMEMBERWHEN
BY JOHN FRY
The Roxy Theater, where the
post office is today, opened on Dec.
16, 1943 as a proud member of the
Fox-West Coast theater chain.
Many of the Pacific Beach kids who
remember Saturday matinees at
the Roxy are grandparents today.
Scott Shore purchased the building
in 1977 and booked live shows and
art movies. I took this photo in
September of 1980, when “Caligula” was the featured film. It featured
Malcolm McDowell, John Gielgud,
Peter O’Toole and Helen Mirren.
The post office announced, on
March 2, 1981, that it had spent
$1.1 million to purchase the property. The theater was demolished
three months later.
John Fry is an “almost” native
San Diegan who moved to Mission
Beach in 1967 after graduating
from San Diego State, then to Pacific Beach in 1970. He has lived in
the same house on Haines Street
since 1972. In 1979, he and the
late Howard Rozelle founded the
Pacific Beach Historical Society.

HIS STORY: Nearly every day, “Red” Gardner sits under a
bright yellow beach umbrella at the foot of Pacific Beach
Drive where he proudly waves his Stars and Stripes in
honor of fellow servicemen.
“There’s people fighting and dying out there and nobody
cares,” he said. “I care. And this my way of showing I care.”
This is a military town, Gardner said.
“Ships go by and the men see the flag and I’ll salute them
as they go.”

about far too often these days, but in the
case of YOSO, which appears at Brick by

the biggest cheers for the signature hits
such as “Owner of A Lonely Heart” and
“Hold the Line.”

I’m
30
and living in PB!
BY RACHEL HUTMAN
Turning 30 makes you not want to
do the things you used to. Suddenly,
going out at night is a hassle. Staying
in the comfort of your own home and
talking without screaming to the person next to you becomes enjoyable.
However, turning 30 doesn’t mean
you don’t want to go out ever, even in
PB. It also doesn’t mean you don’t
want to have a good time. In fact, having a good time is more important
than ever. The scale has shifted and if
I’m going out, it had better be a darn
good time.
The nice weather has reminded me
how much fun it is to go out during
the day. There is something special
about sitting in the sunlight, feeling
the breeze and being around people
who are equally as happy to live in
San Diego.
With that in mind, I’ve narrowed
down the best places in PB for day frolicking — and a chance to sip a cool
beverage before things get crazy at
night:
• PB Alehouse: Upstairs partial ocean
view with good breezes and solid beer
selection.
• Lahaina’s: On the sand. The surfers
are still wet from their sessions. Be
warned — beers are in plastic cups
and get warm fast.
• Shore Club: Hard to hear the surf
over the noise, but it’s not nearly as
loud as it gets at night.
• Cass Street Bar & Grill: No ocean
view, but excellent people watching.
Plus the open windows and beach
vibe give Cass Street a feeling none of
the other spots can match.

Filmmakers from around the world
gathered at Bahia Hotel on Jan. 22 to
honor new and cutting-edge films at
the first California Film Awards. Celebrating independent filmmakers and
screenwriters, the event recognized
American and foreign independent
films in categories ranging from documentaries and short films to animation and music videos.
Director Devin Scott, a San Diego

Wings.” The documentary features his

time in U.S. history, were recruited to

SM
My parent (neighbor) is starting to become unable to handle their financial (or health) affairs. What can be
done to assist and protect them?
Question:
The first thing that you should
do is to look for any estate
planning documents that they may have. Do they
have a living trust or power of attorney for financial affairs or healthcare? If so, they have named
persons to assist them.
If there are no documents, the person should see an attorney and draft them
right away. If the person has the capacity to understand what they own and
who will take care of them, then all is good. It is so easy to have a power of
attorney for financial affairs and one for healthcare.
If they do not understand what is going on, then the court will need to be
involved. A conservatorship must be done for developmentally disabled adults
and other adults (over 18) that can no longer take care of themselves.
There is a lot of paperwork to name another to take care of the person’s
estate and health care decisions. This is the last place where you want to
have to bring your parent. The disadvantages to this are: They will have an
attorney appointed for them, the court investigator will go to their home and
it will cost a substantial amount of money. The filing fee alone is $395.00.
Contact me today to make sure the court will not be involved.

CIVICMEETING REPORT
BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ
Pacific Beach Community Planning Board meeting, Jan. 26
A planned public restroom at
the foot of Law Street and Ocean
Boulevard at Palisades Park drew
sparked debate at the Pacific
Beach Community Planning
Board meeting Jan. 26 at the
Pacific Beach Taylor Library.
City staff presented preliminary
plans for the $415,000 “comfort station” that would make the public
bathroom wheelchair-accessible
but could take up to two years to
begin construction because of the
lengthy coastal development permitting process.
Some neighbors took issue with a
lack of communication between the
city and residents.
“Nobody notified me until they
were well into the process,” said John
Littles, a neighbor who said he lives
across the street from the potential
station.
Pacific Beach resident Richard
Slayter added that a brand new bathroom would attract drinkers and
smokers to an under-policed part of
Pacific Beach.
The board approved the restroom
with recommendations that the current stairs stay pedestrian-accessible
and that the city notify the planning
board as it moves through the development process.
Also discussed by the board:
• The Alcohol License Review Committee delayed releasing a final report
to the board calling for tighter reins
on the alcohol permitting process in
the Pacific Beach business district.
The report should come out next
month.
• The Mission Bay Gateway Project
Committee continues working
toward converting large portions
of land near Mission Bay High
School and bay lands to become a
“regional, educational and ecological resource,” said planning board
member Scott Chipman.
• The board announced slow
progress toward converting a “paper
street” adjacent a public right away
along Oliver Avenue for public use.
• The office of the Director of Development Services has not responded
to a letter from the planning board
since December concerning uncovered, single-car parking facility regulations, said planning board member
Chris Olson.
• The board approved the creation
of five residential condominiums at
1925 Felspar St.
• The board approved a one-bedroom residence and single-car uncovered parking space at 870 Loring St.
The Pacific Beach Community Planning Board acts as an advisory board to
the City of San Diego regarding development and land-use issues in Pacific
Beach. The group meets every fourth

About 60 Pacific Beach residents
expressed views regarding local issues
concerning them during a Pacific Beach
Town Council community forum held
Jan. 19. The council allowed two minutes of public speaking opportunity for
attendees to raise any issue. Topping the
list were “support for conditional use
permits” for alcohol sales, and “concern
over loss of retail mix in the PB business district,” according to forum results
tallied by Pacific Beach Town Council
officers.
Council President Joe Wilding
added that racy storefront displays
recently became a topic of concern
for a community trying to attract
families to the area.
“If you want to attract families, let’s
do family-friendly things,” he said.
Each forum attendee received red
adhesive dots that were marked with a
one, two and three, each representing
that number of votes, respectively.
Posters placed around the room listed
about 20 topics ranging from support
for an oversized vehicle ordinance to
public drunkenness to homelessness,
Wilding said. Residents ranked issues
numerically.
At the bottom of the list were “support for library” and concern over “curb
dumping in ocean/bay,” with both categories receiving no votes.
A category was also added aimed at
supporting more parades and festivals
in the area. It received about 10 votes.
While the forum drew many participants, some believe the results of the
poll do not reflect the opinion of the
majority of residents and the business
community in Pacific Beach.
“As a member of the Business
Improvement District, I believe
there’s a great mix of businesses,”
said Pacific Beach business owner
Eric Lingenfelder. “PB is a good, thriving community” that has opened 14
new businesses in the last year, he
said.
He added that he opposes a conditional use permit process because it would
add an extra step for bourgeoning businesses, potentially slowing growth.
The Pacific Beach Town Council communicates neighborhood issues to
appropriate government agencies
while providing a forum for residents to air their concerns. The
council meets on the third Wednesday of the month at the Pacific

Detectable warning surfaces
draw ire of local skateboarder
BY SKYLER WILDER | BEACH & BAY PRESS
Often yellow and covered with little bumps for traction,
detectable warning surfaces are those rectangular patches
most commonly found where the sidewalk slants into the
street. Also referred to as tactile warning systems, these
surfaces are designed to alert visually-impaired pedestrians
when they near live traffic and are required in the public
sphere in order comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
Anthony Pone, 25, is a Pacific Beach resident and often
uses a skateboard as his primary mode of transportation.
Although Pone did not previously know the yellow patches
of bumps were designed to alert the blind, he questions
how effective they are and notes they regularly affect his
everyday travels on his skateboard.
“They make you ollie really far to get off the sidewalk.
You have to get around them somehow,” said Pone. “The
way they are randomly placed doesn’t really make sense if
they are designed for the blind, they should wrap around
entire corners on sidewalks that do not ramp down.”
Detectable warning surfaces can cost anywhere between
$75 and $255. If a citizen requests the city install one in a
public area, a disability unit is dispatched through the
Street Division. In other cases, they could be installed as
part of a street resurfacing project.

Surfing tour leads to life passion for local man
BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH
BEACH & BAY PRESS
When a friend of a friend told surfer
Zachary Parker that he’d find phenomenal waves near Lido, a village of 1,200
people in Papua New Guinea about
1,000 miles northeast of Darwin, Australia, Parker decided to check it out for
a week.
Instead, Parker remained for six
weeks and returned to his home in
Pacific Beach with the seed of an idea
that eventually germinated into Walu
International, a nonprofit charity teaching water sanitation methods to the people of Papua New Guinea.
“I wanted to do something, but it was
rather vague,” Parker said. “I started
with 20 different ideas. But I really didn’t want to just put a Band Aid on something. Then a sustainable surf tourism
professor (at San Diego State University)
asked, ‘What is a fundamental way to
change the life of people?’”
Parker remembered the odor of
human waste that pervaded Lido
because the village was too remote for
any water sanitation system, with people openly defecating on the beach for
lack of facilities.
Parker wrote a business plan for a
nonprofit charity for one of his MBA
courses at San Diego State graduate
school in September 2009 and within a
month, Walu was incorporated.
Walu sends teams of five, including
engineers, to teach 10 village leaders
about the benefits and logistics of basic
water sanitation, who then educate the
rest of the village. Once convinced of
the advantages, the locals build basic
sanitation systems using their own
materials and labor.

Artist brings splash of color to the community
BY HANA REXROTH | BEACH & BAY PRESS
Sparkling waves, colorful surfboards
and a grinning pelican named Bruce
welcome the world to Belmont Park,
brought to life in a new mural created
by local artist Catherine Viani.
The mural is Viani’s seventh creation to appear throughout the Mission Beach area since 2008. Viani, a
Mission Beach resident, has been
painting since she was old enough
to hold a pencil.
“Art is just in my nature,” she said.
Most of her murals follow an oceanic theme, which she said comes from
her desire to recreate the underwater
world she observes while scuba diving.
“I think it is fascinating to spend time
under the water watching the sea creatures,” she said. “I love being able to
paint them. It’s so much fun.”

for the environment, to encourage people to keep the beaches clean,” she said.
Along with beautiful beaches and
smiling pelicans, the various scenes
include a likeness of the artist,
beach volleyball and the Old Mission
Beach Athletic Club antique fire
truck. Viani also painted several
playing children into the design,
which she hopes will promote positive family relationships.
Viani said one of the biggest compliments she receives is when people stop
to thank her while she paints.
“One of my favorite things is driving
down the street and seeing people with
cameras taking pictures of my murals,”
she said.
In addition to being an artist, Viani
works full-time as a Realtor with Coldwell Banker.
“I think it’s a good balance to be
able to work in business and in a
creative outlet, too,” she said. “I love

Pacific Beach real estate scene. When
James passed away, it was up to Dar and
Don to run the family business.
In her spare time, she learned needlework and won several awards while also
working and teaching others at a
needlepoint shop in La Jolla. She supported the arts with her husband Don,
and were frequent visitors at the Muse-
um of Contemporary Art, the UCSD

• The Mission Bay High School Alumni Association has announced its new 2011 Campus
Clean Up Grant Sponsorship. The program
was designed to reward current MBHSsanctioned student clubs and teams up to
$250 per event for organizing campus clean
ups at MBHS. The goal of this program is to
inspire a heightened sense of school pride by
motivating the student’s direct involvement
with cleaning and beautifying the MBHS
campus. This involvement and leadership creates respect and lasting sense of “Buc Pride,”
which is a component of the the MBHS
Alumni Association’s mission statement. The
financial component of this grant program
also serves to strengthen and build the excellence of the MBHS clubs and teams.
Interested student groups must have an
adult supervisor and submit a grant request
form to Principal Fred Hilgers, who designates an area of the school to focus on, and
the anticipated results. Once the clean up is
completed, results will be evaluated by either
Principal Hilgers or a MBHS Alumni Association board member. If the proposed scope
of the work is completed as specified, a maximum of $250 will be awarded to the group.
The Campus Clean Up Grant Sponsorship program was just announced on campus
in late December and has already been met
with great enthusiasm. In a few weeks, the
school had three approved grants and clean
up events scheduled for January with the
11th grade class, the 3PointPlay Club and
the girls field hockey team. Funding is limited,
however, for future clean up grants and donation to the MBHS Alumni Association to perpetuate the new grant request program is
greatly appreciated. If you would like to sponsor a entire grant ($250), the association will
recognize you or your business with the student group sponsored, on the website, emails and in the MBHS Beachcomber. Designate your checks with “Campus Clean Up
Grant.” All donations are 100 percent tax
deductible.
Mail checks to: MBHS Alumni Association, 1380 Garnet Ave., Suite E442, San

aThe 7th annual Taste of North
Pacific Beach promises a bigger bang
for the buck with more participating
restaurants and eateries than ever
before, along with a brand new show.
Slated for Wednesday, Feb. 16 from 5
to 7:30 p.m., attendees can sample an
assortment of food and drink in a variety of styles ranging from French to
Hawaiian and from Italian to American at the 17 restaurants and outlets
in this year’s festival.
With tickets priced at $15 per adult
($7 for children five to 10 years old),
that’s less than $1 per restaurant if a
person visits each one.
“It’s the best deal in town as far as
cost per restaurant,” said Laura Daly,
the event’s chairwoman. “It is a steal.
You cannot participate in this event
and go home hungry.”
The event is organized by the Friends
of Pacific Beach Secondary Schools
and all proceeds from the event benefit
various programs and special events at
Mission Bay High School and Pacific
Beach middle and elementary schools.
Although the event has expanded
from the 12 businesses involved in the
original taste, Daly said the ticket price
has remained unchanged.
Daly expects all 700 tickets to sell
and recommends that visitors come
early to savor all the flavors and enjoy
other activities like concerts performed
by school bands on the front lawn of
the Turquoise Animal Hospital.
Tickets are punched once at each
restaurant and a map detailing the
locations of each restaurant and activity is printed on the back of the ticket.
Restaurants tend to highlight either
the best or newest items from the menu. For
example,The French Gourmet restaurant

general area of the intersection of
Turquoise and Cass streets
When: Wednesday, Feb. 16 from 5 to

Cost: $15 per adult; $7 for children
between five and 10 years old; free for
children under five
Information: (858) 270-4947
and bakery will be offering samples of
braised short ribs with fresh potatoes
and miniature chocolate eclairs.
French Gourmet owner Michel
Malecot has been with the event from
the start and watched it grow into a
community staple. Although he appreciates the exposure his restaurant garners, Malecot said he participates to
support the schools where some of his
employees’ children attend.
“Everyone is joining and the businesses on the block are festive,” he said.
For those who want to satisfy another taste without it going to the waist,
the event will have an art show for the
first time, displaying pieces by talented
students working in a variety of mediums and styles. The works will be featured at the Gallery at Land’s End and
can also be seen at Java Earth Cafe and
Turquoise Coffee.
Tickets can be purchased in advance
at four Pacific Beach locales: Java Earth
Cafe, Leilani’s Cafe, Pernicano’s Family Restaurant and Turquoise Coffee. If
any remain, tickets can also be purchased on the day of the event at the
Turquoise Animal Hospital.
“There’s such a community feel to it
when you’re on the street seeing so
many familiar people,” Daly said. “It
has that small-town feel.”
“Sax and Boa,” a drawing in charcoal and colored pencil by Mission Bay High School student Helen Mae Abanes, will be one of the pieces in the student art show featured during
the Taste of North Pacific Beach Art and Restaurant Walk on Wednesday, Feb. 16.

BUSINESS
Hyatt’s eco-friendly initiatives earn a ‘green’ designation
BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH
BEACH & BAY PRESS
When the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay
Spa and Marina got a $65 million
facelift in 2008, hotel management
decided it was the right time to include
improvements that would make its operations environmentally-friendly.
That friendship was rewarded earlier
this month when the Mission Bay Hyatt
was designated a “green” hotel by the
California Department of General Services’ Green Lodging Program and
awarded the program’s top Leadership Level for the extent of its recycling, conservation and energy efficiency operations.
Hotel management believes going
green will contribute to a healthier bottom line. Aside from reducing energy
costs, management anticipates more
foot traffic because the program encourages state and local government travelers to give preference to certified green
hotels not just for stays, but for conferences, seminars and other events.
With the public becoming more environmentally-conscious, Rachel Kirsch,
a sales account executive at the hotel, is
confident the momentum will carry
over into the private sector.
“Their company is going green, so
(visitors) want to know that the hotel
they’re staying at is going through the
same thing,” said Kirsch.
Meeting the criteria for the state’s
green label was as simple as following the guidelines listed on the
application form, said Michael Connolly, the hotel’s director of rooms.
With some guesthouses older than
the hotel tower built in 1971, the
needed renovation made it easier for
workers to add features such as lowflow toilets and shower heads to
each of the hotel’s 430 rooms as
well as recycling bins for paper, plas-

tic and even for recycling cooking
oil at appropriate spots.
The overhaul included the construction of the hotel’s eco-friendly Blue Marble Spa, which was listed in Organic Spa
magazine’s “Top Ten Green Spas” in the
world, Connolly said.
To promote recycling among the
hotel’s more than 300 workers, the
hotel instituted its own program that
paid the monthly San Diego Gas & Electric bill of any employee who recycled
the most material in that period.
“There was some training initially,
but it made it easier that everyone
already has recycling at home,” Connolly said. “It was a matter of getting
resources in the hands of the employees
because they’re already willing to do it.”
While supported by Hyatt’s corporate
office, Connolly said the decision to go
green made sense in a community that
organizes activities such as beach cleanups on a regular basis.
“It definitely played a part by being
in the area we’re in,” Connolly said.
“There’s a very large awareness of ecofriendly businesses.”

Local surgeon chats about the
challenges in providing perfection
ith the rise of plastic surgery-related TV shows, state-of-the-art technology and ever-changing
concepts of self image, the practice of plastic surgery has increasingly become commonplace.
Here, Dr. Stuart Kincaid, an award-winning plastic surgeon in San Diego, answers some up-close and
personal questions about the evolving practice that can change both lives and appearances.
– Claire Harlin
W
Question: You’ve received your medical background from
Duke and fellowships from Stanford, Harvard and the
University of California, San Francisco. What made you
want to get into this profession in the first place?
Stuart Kincaid: I try to share each of my patients’ concerns and improve whatever physical feature it is so they
can become more self-actualized, better people and more
confident. The more self-actualized we are, the more positive; it’s a more fun way to live our lives. The word “plastic” comes from the Greek word “plasticos,” meaning “to
shape or to mold,” and I would like to think that to shape
or to mold the body and those features that have been
affected by aging or birthing or trauma can bring the self
image into better balance, better harmony.
Question: You mentioned your mother may have played
a role in you becoming a plastic surgeon?
SK: In a small town in the Midwest, I had two older sisters
who were destined to become schoolteachers, and I guess
my mother had it set in her mind that I was going to
become the physician in the family. Plus, I was diagnosed
with kind of an unusual disease, Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, in 1958 as a boy of 8, and I was taken to a big referral hospital. I vividly remember that experience. I was in
for over a month, and I guess the rest was destiny.
Question: So you got your first dose of the medical field by
personal experience?
SK: Yes.
Question: You’ve been practicing for more than 25 years.
What have been most significant changes you’ve seen in
your field in medical advances and also the attitude toward
cosmetic surgery?
SK: In its inception, specifically back in the 1950s and
1960s, it was really in the hands of the rich and famous.
But as time went by, there were more trained surgeons
who went out in America, and not just in the East and
West Coasts, and it became readily available to mainstream America. For instance, the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) says the average household
income of people seeking plastic surgery today is $50,000
to $100,000. It’s not just for the millionaires and the billionaires. The challenge is, along with more people
embracing plastic surgery, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to meet people’s expectations. Through talk shows
and the Internet and neighbors, I think many people have
been led to believe they can achieve perfection and they
can achieve it instantly with no down side, no complications and no risks, which obviously is not true.
Dr. Stuart Kincaid
Question: Is there one particular request you see a lot of
these days?
SK: For women, the No. 1 request in recent years is the
breast augmentation, but a close second is lipo suction. A
phenomenon we should be aware of is the weight issue.
The First Lady of the United States, one of her dreams is
to improve nutrition and the dynamics of American eating habits, and I agree with her. Two-thirds of Americans
are overweight, one-third is obese and we are a nation
that is overfed and underexercised.
Question: Can you estimate what percentage of your
clients is female versus male?
SK: It’s probably 85-90 percent female and 10-15 percent
male, and the male sector is growing proportionately
faster than females. Approximately 50 percent of marriages have ended in divorce, and we as a nation are struggling with that issue. We are faced with retiring at a later
age, we are very competitive, and now that we are in a
global marketplace, psychologists have done studies to
prove that people who are youthful in appearance are
generally more productive and achieve more in life.
Question: What’s the strangest request you’ve had so far?
SK: I do remember a number of years ago a young man
in his 20s wrote a lengthy letter to me about his emotional ups and downs over many years. He felt he was a
human being locked in a spider body. He had a very round
body and very long, thin upper and lower extremities. Sad
to say, that man didn’t feel particularly good about himself. He’d never had a date with a woman in his life, and
he had not had any psychiatric or psychological counseling prior to coming to my doorstep. In that situation, even
though I felt empathy for him and wanted to help him —
Question: Have you ever turned down a patient?
I did talk to him about some body contouring procedures
SK: Yes, on a number of occasions. Generally it’s a person — I thought in that particular case he needed emotional

Soccer sisters prepare for future beyond MBHS
BY AMBERLY DRESSLER | BEACH & BAY PRESS
Mission Bay High School’s soccer field
has served as more than a playing field
for five seniors. It’s been a source of support sometimes not found anywhere
else.
“Coming out here every day, it doesn’t matter if I’ve just had the worst day
ever or had a test or stepped in gum, I
come out here and have fun,” said midfielder Micaela Cervantes.
For Cervantes’ teammate, the
encouragement is unrivaled.
“I’ve never really had this kind of support system,” said defender Remy
Gagnon. “We really don’t have that at
our house, but on the field, I have my
family.”
Gagnon’s twin sister, Lauren, mentions plenty of support from the sideline as well.
“[Coach Jorge] Palacios has helped us
a lot over the years,” Lauren said.
The twins were on their own when
they learned a lesson their freshman
year: don’t be late for class. And if you
are, don’t believe everything your future
teammate tells you.
“We were late, so we didn’t have a
chance to see if we made the team,”
Lauren said. “And Jessica [Diaz] told us
we didn’t make it.”
Diaz fed a similar to line to Cervantes.
The four seniors, along with Stephanie
Urruti, have started on the varsity team
ever since.
“It was just a little prank,” Diaz said.
The girls still count Diaz as the
jokester of the group, but her fellow

Senior says goodbye to MBHS,
hello to Pepperdine
BY AMBERLY DRESSLER
BEACH & BAY PRESS
From the minute senior Mission
Bay High soccer player Micaela Cervantes stepped onto Pepperdine University’s campus, she fell in love.
“I love the campus. I love the small
size. I love the coaches. I love my
teammates. I just love everything
about it,” Cervantes said.
Cervantes will suit up for the Waves
this fall. She has one goal in mind.
“Just to come in as fit as possible
and see what happens from there,”
Cervantes said.
An incoming freshman’s fitness
is something college coaches are
typically unimpressed by, but Cervantes comes from a background
of excellence.
She comes to practice ready to
work. In games, she knows how to
win balls, when to pass and when to
shoot.
Cervantes continues to work on
her craft.
“I’ve always been a midfielder, but
my club team [Surf] was full of midfielders, so they put me at center
back,” Cervantes said. “I was so
scared and didn’t know what I was
doing, but throughout the season I
learned how to play that position.
“So now I consider myself more
of a defender than a midfielder,”
she said. “So that’s been a pretty big
accomplishment for me because
now I can play every position on
the field. That really helped me
grow as a player.”
After 35 years, Mission Bay Girls’ Softball
League drives to revive its membership
BY JOSHUA LOWE | BEACH & BAY PRESS
For the last 35 years, members of the
Mission Bay Girls’ Softball League have
been learning more than just the fundamentals of athletics and honorable
competition. They have been making
lifelong friends and learning to be
responsible for their league.
But league participation has fallen off
in recent years with declining enrollment and financial problems, due mainly to a souring economy and the fact
that Mission Bay does not have as rich of
a tradition of girl’s softball as other parts
of the county.
Anthony Sarain, league treasurer
and coach for the 14-and-under division, said the sport can be difficult and
even a little intimidating to some
younger players, as opposed to organized community sports like soccer.
“Although there’s not as strong a
[girls’ softball] community here as there
is as in east county, Southern California is a hotbed of softball. A lot of the
really good players come from Southern California,” Sarain said.
MBGSL welcomes girls from any community between the ages of 5 and 15.
The league focuses primarily on fun and
skill development. They compete with
teams from all around the county, but
mainly from La Jolla, Coronado, University City and Clairemont.
Sarain said one of the operating principles of the league has been to keep fees
reasonable, including some “scholarships” for young athletes who can’t
afford the cost, due to good fundraising
and generous league sponsorships
from local businesses.
“We don’t turn away anybody,”
Sarain said. “We care about the particSEE SOFTBALL, Page 15

decisions to the Islanders.
Starting this season, Coronado will test its mettle in Division IV, possibly making way
for a new Division III champion. Until then, the Lady Bucs
are showing next year’s team
what it takes to win.
“We show that we take care of
one another and that we are
always there,” Urruti said.
Palacios said he appreciates the
girls’ dedication.

ipation, not the money part of it.”
Nevertheless, fundraising has
been more difficult because of the
recession, and with a community
made up of a lot of working parents, finding volunteers to coach
or manage or serve on the board
has also been tougher than in the
past.
Sarain, who is also the girls’
softball coach at La Jolla High
School, also said that besides
development of athletic skills,
there is also a large social component to the league. He said a lot of
girls make lifetime friends through
softball, and the league hosts parties and get-togethers for the
young members.
“My own daughters have made
a lot of their friends through the
softball league,” he said.
Further, the girls take responsibility for the upkeep at McEvoy
Field, performing much of the

really love the game.”
Although all five girls have
played the game year-round
since they were five, and some
soccer futures are in question,
each one of them said it’s the
relationships they’ll miss the
most because it’s the games —
won and lost — the pasta parties, the movie nights, the
shared classes and more, that
made the five seniors become
more than teammates. They’ve
become sisters.
“I am going to miss us bonding because we’ve grown so
much,” Diaz said. “It’s like we
are sisters. So I am definitely
going to miss that.”
maintenance, like weeding.
Currently, the need is for
more — and younger — players, Sarain said.
“That is the biggest thing we
need right now. We are not getting the 6-and-unders and the 8and-unders,” he said.
Sarain explained that as the
girls get older, some naturally
develop greater athletic skills,
while other marginal players
become overwhelmed and decide
they’ve had enough. Yet, starting
the girls at around ages six to eight
gives them a better chance at
long-term success in softball.
MBGSL girls have gone on to
play at the high school and college level, as well as quite a few
girls who have gone on to play
“travel ball” — that is, club softball that competes on the American Softball Association “A” level
as traveling amateur teams that
can compete all over the country.

BUDDY
CONTINUED FROM Page 1
New York to appear on David Letterman’s
10th anniversary special. Six thousand
people packed Radio City Music Hall to
watch Buddy sink baskets. An all-star band
backed Paul Shaffer and Letterman as
Buddy sank his third attempt to the spontaneous standing applause of the crowd. It
was an experience like no other to think
how far we had come from our tiny backyard a block from Crystal Pier in our
beloved Pacific Beach.
I knew on the plane flight home that I
had to get Buddy from the backyard to the
big screen. But how? I wasn’t a writer. So I
continued on. I then cross-trained Buddy
to play the position of goalie in the sports
of hockey and soccer, and the position of
wide receiver in football.
We were fortunate enough to showcase
his football-catching ability at a San Diego
Chargers pre-game show. We also began
performing motivational elementary
school assemblies around Pacific Beach.
Our first assembly was at Kate Sessions Elementary School and Buddy was an immediate hit. We displayed Buddy’s legendary
athletic abilities and taught the children
about teamwork and patience. Buddy’s discipline and perseverance was an inspiration to the kids. Buddy’s drive was something they were able to learn from and
emulate. From that point on, I knew children were our target audience.
Meanwhile, I did some research on script
writing and how the process works. I
penned a treatment titled “Mascot,” a film
about a struggling NBA team that decides
to bring in a mascot to boost morale and
turn the team into a championship team.
When they find Buddy, the basketball-playing dog, their plan comes together and in
the final championship game, and a long
“DL” list, they bring Buddy in to win the
game and the championship. I registered it
with the Writers Guild of America and set
out to find a couple of script writers to take
the project on spec. When I found two writ-

view his incredible talents.
ers, Paul Tamasy and Aaron Mendleson
who were fresh out of UCLA Film School,
I knew I found the link to get Buddy’s script
polished. We brought the story down to a
kid’s level and made Buddy the mascot of a
junior high school team. After several
years and seven or eight revisions, and
with our polished script in hand, we hit
the streets of Hollywood determined to get
Buddy from the backyard to the big screen.
All the while we were performing all
over the country: the NBA, NFL, NHL,
MLB, variety shows, universities, state fairs
and just about any entertainment venue.
Buddy was in demand. We finally contracted with a production company in early
1996 on the movie “Air Bud.” We went
into production in the fall of 1996 and
Buddy hit theaters in August 1997. Our
six-year journey had taken us from our
tiny backyard in Pacific Beach to the big
screen to the world.
Back in the summer of 1994, I had the
foresight to freeze Buddy’s semen. Much
like the Griffys, the Bonds and the Mannings, Buddy Jr. is the third son to con-
tinue the “Air Bud” legacy. And now, as
cloning is being perfected in San Francisco,
perhaps one day in the near future, the
original Buddy may once again be playing
ball here in PB.
Buddy is the modern-day Lassie. “Air
Bud 15” has just finished production. The
franchise has grossed nearly a billion dollars worldwide. Next to James Bond, Buddy
has more sequels in Hollywood history
than any other film character. Buddy and
I will be heading to Super Bowl week this
year in Dallas. I might talk to the Spanos
family this offseason to offer Buddy’s services as a mascot. I think he would make
an excellent addition to their organization and might be the missing link that so
far has prevented them, and everyone
here in San Diego, from winning a
Super Bowl trophy.
On any given day, you know that Buddy
is playing some sport, somewhere in this
beautiful seaside town, our beloved Pacific
Beach.
Woof!

Batteries and Light Bulbs:
Universal or Hazardous
Waste? You Choose!
W
hat do you do when batteries die and light bulbs burn
out? And after that, what do you do with your brand-new
electronic waste?
In California, discarded batteries and electric lamps (light bulbs and
tubes) are regulated as universal wastes, which must be recycled—
or be managed as hazardous waste, and legally disposed of as such.
Wouldn’t you rather recycle?
Here are the details, according to the Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC):
Universal waste batteries include rechargeable nickelcadmium batteries, silver button batteries, mercury batteries,
small sealed lead-acid batteries (burglar alarm and emergency
light batteries), most alkaline batteries, carbon-zinc batteries,
and any other batteries that exhibit a characteristic of a
hazardous waste.*
Note: Spent, automotive-type lead-acid storage batteries are
not universal waste. They are hazardous waste, and managed
under different regulatory requirements.
Universal waste lamps include fluorescent tubes and bulbs,
high-intensity discharge lamps, sodium vapor lamps, and any
other type of lamps that exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous
waste.* Also, any electric lamp that contains added mercury,
whether or not it exhibits a hazardous waste characteristic, is a
universal waste.*
*Hazardous waste can be poisonous, flammable, explosive,
and/or corrosive.
Recycle San Diego recycles unwanted electronics in accordance
with state and federal laws, and we’re proud of our commitment to
ensuring that the materials we collect will never enter a landfill.
We accept all rechargeable batteries for free, and single-use
batteries for $1 per pound. And we accept not only lamps (bulbs and
tubes), but also light fixtures (without lamps) for a small fee.
Recycle San Diego can collect e-waste at your location and recycle it—for free. (The recycler dismantles the devices, separates the
different components, and ships them to various U.S. end recyclers
for further processing.) Need to recycle TVs, computers, or
monitors? No hassles, no worries, no problems!
Need a local solution?
Think Recycle San Diego!
We host household e-waste collection
events every weekend and offer on-site
business pick-ups during the week.
Jeffrey Harding is the President and Founder of
Recycle San Diego.
Founded in 2006, Recycle San Diego is the
largest e-waste collection company in San Diego.
