Robber hits PB grocery store
Police officials are probing the Aug. 14 robbery of the Ralph’s
grocery store on Mission Boulevard after a man simulated a handgun and demanded prescription medication from a pharmacist
around 10:30 a.m.
Investigators said the suspect entered the store’s pharmacy
area and made the demand, although witnesses said they did not
actually see a weapon.
The man is described as about 50 years old, 5’ 10” tall, with a
medium build and tan skin. He was also described as unshaven
and wearing a black baseball cap and a light-colored tank top.
The suspect fled on foot. The case is being investigated by the
San Diego Police Department’s Robbery Division.

SeaWorld took in eight brown pelicans from Arizona recently
after the birds were rescued and given initial treatment at two
rehabilitation centers in Arizona.
SeaWorld animal care specialists expect to care for the birds
until they can be released back into the wild within days. One of
the birds is missing a wing because of amputation, however, and
will not be able to be returned into its natural enviroment, officials
said.
The birds were likely blown off course by recent monsoons.
The Tucson Wildlife and Liberty Wildlife Centers in Arizona rehabilitated and stabilized the birds before sending them to SeaWorld.

For music fans who want to get upclose-and-personal with their favorite
local bands, there is probably no better
location in San Diego than the Tiki
House. With the music in the corner
next to and — in some cases — on the
pool table, a happening night can be
hot, sweaty and crowded — exactly
the right ingredients for tasty rock ’n’
roll. On Aug. 18, the bar hosts a set
from classic rock cover band The
Celebrities. Built around longtime
local hero-guitarist Rick Harchol (The
Voices, Outlaw Blood), the band plays
evergreens like “Hot Legs” or more
recent entries in the genre like “Are
You Gonna Be My Girl” with real passion. Whether you’re reliving past glories or discovering this music for the
first time, The Celebrities nail the
sound and energy every time.
The Celebrities perform at 9 p.m. on

these seasoned vets, led by keyboardist Doug Allen, can just about
do it all. The band’s specialty is
1950s and 1960s standards, but it
also specializes with special sets of
everything from instrumentals —
like “One Step Beyond,” new wave
with “Rock Lobster” or modern hits
by Alicia Keys or No Doubt — and a
lot of cool stuff in between. The
phrase “something for just about
everybody” is a cliché these days, but
in the case of The Mar Dels, it’s absolutely true.

Café-Bar Europa continues to
expand its eclectic booking with the
appearance of blues band Bad Habit
on Aug. 20. Fans of modern blues will
find much to their liking, particularly
with the band’s deep knowledge of
recent-era blues tunes, which have the
four-piece band performing songs by
the likes of Johnny Lang and Lou Ann
Barton. However, what sets them
apart is a wealth of original material
that stands up against the covers in
their set list.

With a set list that includes both
The Meters’ “Sissy Strut” and the
Sugarhill Gang’s “Rappers Delight,”
it’s clear that the seven-piece Kingfish Turner Band’s biggest concern is
filling the dance floor. What makes it
work is the use of less-obvious songs
by the likes of Boz Scaggs or Lou
Rawls, tracks that are heavy on a
1970s groove. Appearing at Tio Leo’s
on Aug. 20, The Kingfish Turner
Band is the perfect night out for soul
aficionados.

soul and R&B tunes like “You’re No
Good” and recast rockers like “Sunshine of Your Love.” Featuring sultry
singer and namesake Amanda Suter,
the band has a retro vibe, but it really
doesn’t matter what kind of music you
like or what era you prefer. Anyone
who likes good tunes, custom-made for
dancing, needs look no further.

Oct. 11 preliminary hearing
ordered for trio accused of
killing Mission Beach man
BY NEAL PUTNAM | BEACH & BAY PRESS
Three 17-year-old boys accused of
killing a young Mission Beach man who
had answered a Craiglist ad to buy a
computer appeared in court Aug. 16
and were given an Oct. 11 preliminary
hearing date.
They are charged with murder in the
death of Garrett Berki, 18, of Mission
Beach. He was a student at Mesa College and a 2010 graduate of La Jolla
High School.
The three defendants are also charged
with shooting at an occupied vehicle
and two counts of robbery involving
Berki and his girlfriend.
Berki and his girlfriend reportedly met
with the defendants on May 11 after
answering a Craigslist ad for a $600
computer. The couple met the youths
on Fleming Drive in Paradise Hills.
Instead of landing a computer, the
couple was robbed of their cash and cell
phones at gunpoint.
On Tuesday, the three defendants
waived their right to have a speedy hearing as they appeared before a San Diego
Superior Court judge.
Rashon Jay Abernathy, Shaquille Jordan, and Seandell Lee Jones have pleaded not guilty. They remain in Juvenile
Hall on $5 million bail.
After Berki was robbed, he allegedly
followed the robbers in his car as they
turned into a cul-de-sac as Berki tried to
obtain the robbers’ license number.
Deputy District Attorney Kristian
Trocha said Abernathy fired a shot
through a windshield, striking Berki in
the chest. Berki died later that night.
The three teens are being tried as
adults. If convicted, they could be sentenced to 25 years to life.

Musically speaking, RT’s Longboard is
best known for its weekend cover bands
and reggae music. But it also hosts the
occasional up-and-coming band like the
San Francisco-based, two-man, guitarand drums-based combo The Ferocious
Few. Appearing at the club on Aug. 26,
as with many bands in this format, blues
is the base. But the duo also has a strong
folk influence and manic rock ’n’ roll edge
that keep things from getting too close to
the template. The Ferocious Few has
been a regular in San Diego since its
debut in 2007, even staging a rogue show
outside the 2010 Comic-Con. This show
at RT’s Longboard is the optimal spot to
see them. Unlike that infamous set, here
they won’t be competing with a train for
sound levels.

Pacific Beach Town Council President
Joe Wilding is looking for a few good
Pacific Beach residents to help restore
the blue wave Welcome to Pacific Beach
sign to its normal spot on an island
around the 2800 block of Grand
Avenue, across from the Mission Bay
Golf Course.
According to a police incident report
and eyewitnesses, the fun welcome sign
was knocked off its cement foundation
by a vehicle going eastbound on Grand
Avenue on the morning of June 15.
“I was driving to work around 7 in
the morning and then saw two cars
pulled off to the side and noticed a
bunch of dust and debris in the air,”
Wilding said. “I made a U-turn at the
nearest light and discovered the sign
lying in the middle of westbound Grand
Avenue.”
Wilding said he was about 50 yards
back when the sign was struck and did
not see it happen.
After the sign was knocked into the
street, Wilding said a few people who
lived in the apartments across the way
helped him drag the sign out of the
road.
According to Wilding, the vehicle
that hit the sign was a Jeep Grand
Cherokee and the driver was not seriously hurt. There were no injuries
reported overall.
Wilding, not knowing what to do
next with the sign, said he and
bystanders moved the sign into the back
of a truck.
“I wanted to keep it because if it was
towed it would be impounded and we
would be charged storage and towing
fees,” Wilding said.
The sign was dropped off in the yard
of one of Wilding’s friends and then
later moved to his brother’s house,
where it presently sits until it can be
moved and placed back at its previous
resting spot on Grand Avenue.
“I believe the sign is owned by Discover PB but I’m not sure. I’m waiting
for funds, guidance and direction from
them on what they want to do next
about it. It will take at least four people
to move the sign,” he said.
In addition to moving the sign there
is also some damage to parts of it that
will need to be repaired before it can be
put back.

Beach Town Council office at (858)

SeaWorld aviculturist Kim Peterson shows off the new flamingo chick.
Courtesy photo by SeaWorld San Diego
SeaWorld San Diego recently
introduced one of its newest residents as animal-care officials celebrated the hatching of a “lesser”
flamingo chick.
While the species is not endangered, such hatchings are considered
rare. SeaWorld is one of only a handful of zoological organizations that
has been able to successfully breed
lesser flamingos. The park became
the first in the world to do so in 1989.
The chick, which hatched July 30,
is considered significant because
there are not enough hatching
chicks to sustain the species in zoological institutions worldwide,
according to SeaWorld officials.
The chick is being hand-raised
behind the scenes in the park’s Avian
Center, and after only 14 days
weighed just under three ounces. It is
about the size of an apple, consumes
a special formula of flamingo pellet,
krill, hardboiled egg, minerals, vitamins and water. It will remain at the
Avian Center until it is three months
old when it will be introduced to the
flock of adult lesser flamingos.

REMEMBERWHEN?
YOU KNOW those incredibly high palm
trees on Bayard Street and Pacific Beach
Drive? Tom Scripps told me, I think, his
family planted them in 1908. Here’s a rare
aerial from around 1920 that shows Braemar, the Scripps family estate, where the
Catamaran Hotel is today. I’m guessing this
is about 1920, because the streetcar was
extended to La Jolla in 1923 and Crystal
Pier was built in 1926. At the top of the
photo are three houses on Garnet Avenue,
one of which is today’s PB Bar & Grill. This
photo is the cover shot of the August issue
of the Pacific Beach Historical Society
newsletter, which talks about the early history of the Mission Bay Yacht Club. Contact me if you’d like a copy.

Mr. Frostie’s: A PB tradition since 1949
IM 30 AND LOVE PB
BY RACHEL HUTMAN | BEACH & BAY PRESS
Pacific Beach wasn’t always a college
town covered in tattoo parlors, bars and
head shops. There was a time when it
was a quaint family-oriented town
perched by the beach. Then, doors
weren’t locked, kids stayed up late only
on special occasions and you were more
likely to get hit by a rogue wave than a
car. John Conca, owner of Mr. Frostie
Tastee Freeze, has seen firsthand many of
PB’s changes over the years. Conca grew
up in Pacific Beach near Kate Sessions
Park and worked his family’s ice cream
stand in the 1970s as a teenager. In
1978, he and his wife, Debbie, took over
ownership and have run it since.
Conca has been careful to keep Mr.
Frostie’s the same through the years,
wanting it to retain that same look and
feel of Pacific Beach from the 1950s. One
thing he has added to the menu is food
items to help generate business during
the colder winter months.
Conca has made a concerted effort to
keep prices low and the product delicious.
Mr. Frostie’s offers typical treats found at
most ice cream shops: blizzards, shakes,
banana splits and malts. The establishment also has the ever-popular dipped
cones in flavors like chocolate, cherry
and butterscotch. Be warned: Eat fast,
because it will go everywhere as it melts!
The portions are large and the ice
cream is delicious. But Conca thinks it’s
the vibe of Mr. Frostie’s that keeps customers coming back year after year.
“We offer a good, high-quality product
and are customer oriented,” he said. “We
get to know our regulars so they feel at
home. We keep Mr. Frostie’s as it has
been for the most part, a continuity of
what we would have served in the
1960s, and keep prices reasonable.” He
adds with a laugh, “We’re the biggest
fans of our products. I eat it every day.”
One thing that hasn’t changed is Mr.
Frostie’s type of clientele. It draws mostly families — the way it has always been.
While standing in line, you feel as if
you’re standing in line just as they did in
1949.
Pacific Beach has transformed largely
into a transient town, but one thing is
certain in PB. You can always count on
Mr. Frostie’s and a delicious ice cream
treat that will keep you smiling.

TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN OFFICER
Families still flock to Mr. Frostie Tastee Freeze on Grand Avenue, as they have since 1949.
Photo by Rachel Hutman I Beach & Bay Press
Motorists all across San Diego might have
gotten a glimpse of a rare and emotional
spectacle Aug. 12 as a law enforcement
motorcade (above) made a slow, 12-mile
trek from Qualcomm Stadium to The Rock
Church on Rosecrans Street to pay tribute
to slain police Officer Jeremy Henwood,
who was gunned down Aug. 6 while on
patrol in City Heights. A caravan of 800 to
1,000 police squad cars, followed by San
Diego Fire Department vehicles and some
150 to 200 motorcycles from the California
Highway Patrol participated in the motorcade. Right, about 40 mourners gathered
alongside the San Diego Fire Department's
Engine 15 from Ocean Beach at the Nimitz
Boulevard overpass to pay tribute to Hen-
wood’s memory. His assailant was later
killed by police in a hail of bullets.

An Argentinian’s relentless

WHAT’S IN THE AIR, BUD?

GUEST VIEW
SD 311: placing city services at your fingertips
By Councilman Carl De Maio
ow often have you driven down
Garnet Avenue and seen a large
pothole in the road? Or even worse, discovered it right after your car runs it
over? You want to report the problem to
the city when you get home but by the
time you get there you have forgotten
the location of the pothole. Unfortunately, with no one reporting it, the pothole only gets larger and more dangerous.
This scenario has unfortunately
become a San Diego tradition and is a
common story I hear when meeting
with residents. They are frustrated by
the state of their road conditions and
feel that there should be more simple
and efficient ways to report potholes in
H
Pacific Beach.
After hearing these concerns, my
office decided to partner with an outside firm to develop “San Diego 311,” a
Smartphone app and online widget
that serves as a one-stop shop of city
services and streamlines how those services are provided.
Pacific Beach residents can report
potholes, abandoned vehicles, graffiti,
illegal dumping, broken sidewalks and
much more instantaneously from their
Android, Blackberry or iPhones. The
program can also be accessed online
through an online widget.
San Diego 311 uses the latest technology in geo-tagging technology to
automatically provide the problem’s
location when residents report problems from their phones. This simplifies
the reporting process for residents and
speeds up the time for city employees to
respond to the report.
This program finally catches the city
up to modern-day technology and creates a new platform that will cut costs
and provide an instrument that easily
allows residents to report problems in
their community.
San Diego 311 literally puts city services at residents’ fingertips, and I hope
you’ll join me in downloading this app
to start improving our community
today.

limited resources at his disposal. All
the passengers and crew were
delighted and inspired by Arrues’
ambition as the plane took off from
the makeshift runway toward the
“new world.”
Arrues caught wind of a job
opening running the service
department at the new Honda
Motorcycle Shop in Pacific Beach
in 1965. He quickly secured the
position, settled into life here and
had a son, Alex, in 1968. With a
difference of opinion with his new
boss, Arrues left Honda and opened
up a Kawasaki dealership just up
the street on Garnet Avenue and
named it — what else? — Kon-Tiki
Motorcycles.
I’ve been riding a street bike since
I turned 16. There’s nothing like
the feeling of twisting the throttle of
an iron horse and cruising down
the highway. I’ve been going to
Kon-Tiki Motorcycles for parts, service and apparel for 20 years.
George was always very kind and
knowledgeable and gave superior
service. Now, Alex has taken over
helm at Kon-Tiki. It wasn’t until
recently that I asked Alex what
Kon-Tiki meant, and I’m glad I did.
I always love hearing wonderful stories about the wonderful people
who live in our beautiful seaside
town, our beloved Pacific Beach.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Trash pickup funding
seemingly not priority
There are many Europeans who
believe Christopher Columbus was
not the first explorer to cross the
mighty Atlantic in search of the
New World. More specifically, a
Swedish explorer named Thor Heyerdahl certainly thought so.
He built a raft — called Kon-Tiki
— back in 1947 to disprove the
Columbus theory by using only
materials and technologies that
would have been available only during the 1300s and 1400s — trying to show that explorers could
have accomplished the feat centuries earlier.
Not only did Thor succeed in his
4,300-mile expedition to the Polynesian islands and back to Sweden,
but his adventure became a bestselling book and an Academy
Award-winning documentary. His
story inspired many people, including a young Argentinian man
named George Arrues. Like many
people around the world, Arrues
was determined to migrate to the
“new world,” but he had limited
resources.
Hitching a ride aboard an aging
plane, he headed toward America.
En route, the plane had mechanical
difficulties and was forced to make
an emergency landing. Although
the passengers were all lucky to be
alive, their dreams of living a better
life in the “new world” seemed to
descend like the aging plane they
had depended on.
Still, one person aboard that
flight was determined not to be
denied. Arrues was a mechanic and
a machinist; more specifically, his
specialty was boring engine cylinders, whether it is was a lawn
mower, a motorcycle, a car, truck
or an airplane. Arrues knew
motors like the back of his hand.
So, as the rest of the passengers
sulked, Arrues, who was inspired
by Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki,
went to work and fixed the
mechanical problem with just the

Chargers’ special teams: super special this year?
BY WALTER RUSKIN | BEACH & BAY PRESS
In case you’ve been surfing all summer,
we have news for you. San Diego Chargers
football is back! The Beach & Bay Press got
a recent taste of the preseason opener
Aug. 11, giving us a chance to offer up
this preview of the up-and-coming season.
At Qualcomm Stadium last Thursday,
the Chargers butted heads with the Seattle Seahawks. And even though the final
scoreboard showed Seahawks 24 and
Chargers 17, Bolts fans can feel confident
that this could be (dare I say it?) a Super
Bowl year.
Quarterback Philip Rivers seemed
pleased with the quick start at halftime,
with San Diego going into the locker room
with a 10-0 lead.
“The goal was to drive and get points
on the board [on the team’s first possession], preferably score a touchdown, and
we were able to do that,” Rivers said.
“Obviously, there'll be some things we're
going to try and clean up, but we need to
stay involved the rest of the game. Overall, it was a good start.”
It also was a good start for new special
teams coach Rich Bisaccia who, after having spent the last nine years in Tampa
Bay, was hired after the Chargers experienced last season what some would
arguably say was the worst special teams
unit in NFL history.
Not to flog a dead horse, but last year,
the Chargers’ special teams allowed four
kick returns for touchdowns, four blocked
punts and averaged less than 19 yards per
punt return.
Looking ahead now, will this new
coaching change really make a difference?
“All I had to do was miss one tackler,
my teammates did everything,” said
Charger’s newcomer Brian Walters, who
ran back a kick return for 103 yards, in
the process scoring his first professional
touchdown Thursday night. “It was a
well-designed play. You have to give all the
credit to the coach who designed the play
and to the guys up front.”
Well-designed play, Mr. Walters? I don't
think so. It was an amazingly welldesigned play! That being said, coach
Bisaccia said he is not content with just
one touchdown return during a preseason game.
“We've got a long ways to go,” Bisaccia
said. “We're just at the beginning stages.”
Well, if that is just the beginning, we
are excited to see where it all ends.
You can view my coverage of the game
at www.sdnews.com and listen to my
game calling of Brian Walters’ first professional touchdown.

Diego Community Newspaper Group’s “Ugly
News Team.”

Stagecoach Days
It’s been over a century since the last stage
line operated in San Diego. Beginning in
1857, stage lines passed through rural San
Diego moving passengers, freight, and mail.
These new services helped bring the outside
world a little closer to this emerging frontier
community that we know today as San
Diego.
For four Saturdays in July and August,
come join us as we celebrate travel and
transportation in the era of real horsepower
– before the train and automobile. Imagine
yourself traveling down dusty dirt roads
either by horse, wagon, or stagecoach making your way to San Diego in the 1860s.
Enjoy an afternoon filled with activities
that reflect life in early San Diego and celebrate the West on the move. Through
vignettes, demonstrations, living history
activities, stories, and songs, visitors will gain
an appreciation for early modes of transportation and daily life.
