Members of the North BayCommunity Planning Group(NBCPG), which makes recom-mendations to the city having todo with land-use and quality-of-
life issues, have taken advantageof an invitation to sound off onhow the city should spend its fis-cal year 2014 Capital Improve-ment Program (CIP) budget, afund that never has enoughmoney to go around.
CIP projects include parks,street improvements, lifeguardstations, libraries and other long-range infrastructure. Traditional-ly, the city has prioritized these

Key neighborhood store serving elderly, handicapped to shutter Nov. 27
Apple Tree Market — a fixture inOcean Beach and the neighborhood’sonly full-service grocery store — willsoon be closing its doors after servingthe community’s grocery needs for 25 years at its location on Santa Moni-ca Avenue.
The Hirmez brothers assumed thestore lease from Safeway on Aug. 28,1988. Owner Saad Hirmez said sincehe and his brothers first assumed thelease, the property’s landowner, ElliotMegdal of Megdal & Associates in LosAngeles, has persistently attempted tobuy the community grocers out. Afteryears of struggle, the time has finallycome to pack up their wares and moveon, said Hirmez.
“He [Megdal] was doing everythingin his power to get rid of us so he couldcapture a much greater rent, but wewere on a long-term lease, so he wasn’table to,” Hirmez said.
In 1989, just a few months after theHirmez brothers took over the store sitefrom Safeway, Megdal & Associatesoffered to buy the grocers out for thevalue of the lease, less the inventory.
“He offered to pay us less than whatwe pay each month,” said Hirmez. “Wedidn’t buy this place so we can sell it toyou for less, my friend. We bought it sowe can operate and make a living here.”
More than a decade later, in 2002,Megdal & Associates tried to purchasethe lease again, this time makingA sign at Apple Tree Market advertises the lease that will

On a normal school day, theappearance of one more surfer onthe Point Loma High School campuswouldn’t even be noticed by students.
But the surfer who turned upOct.23 created quite a stir before end-ing his visit abruptly when a pack ofadoring star-struck co-eds chasedhim from the school gym after anoptional lunchtime pep rally.
“I got mobbed,” said Jonny West-on, 23, star of a new surfing film,later as he relaxed in a chair on anoutside deck at the W Hotel in down-town San Diego after a series of pressinterviews.
For the record, Weston’s exit
began soon after he answered ayoung lady’s question with threewords:
“I’m totally single.”The nimble star beat a hasty
retreat to a waiting SUV driven bymembers of the Fox 2000 Picturespromotions staff.
Was the young actor prepared forthis?
“The assembly was a little morerowdy and the kids were kind ofjacked up,” Weston said, “but it’s asurf-based community.”

Brian Bilbray, Republican candidatefor the 52nd Congressional District onthe Nov. 6 ballot, was a no-show at ascheduled forum Oct. 24 hosted by theOcean Beach Town Council.
With Bilbray absent, Scott Peters, theDemocratic contender, got the last wordon Medicare, immigration reform andother issues that have dominated a last-minute advertising blitz in one of themost closely watched congressionalraces in the country.
“Nice getting all the time to myself,”said Peters, who touted his recentendorsement of former Pres. Bill Clin-ton, gave his stump speech and fieldedquestions from an audience of aboutfour dozen during his unexpected soloact.
Members of the Town Council’s boardof directors expressed bewilderment atBilbray’s nonattendance. President DaveMartin said Bilbray had confirmed his
RSVP and, right up to the time of themeeting, gave no indication he was run-ning late or needed to cancel.
The Town Council had touted theforum three times on its Facebook pagein the days leading up to it. Two daysprior, the group also issued a “civic alert”in an online newsletter to promote theevent.
According to the newsletter, eachcandidate was to receive five minutes foran opening statement, followed by ques-tions from the public.
“This is the best way to get qualitytime with the two potential people whowill be representing you and all Obe-ceans!” the newsletter stated.
Bilbray has been silent about hisabsence. Early this week, there was noresponse to two voicemails left at hiscampaign headquarters, nor to separateemails sent to Bilbray and to his cam-paign manager. No mention of theforum or reason for being absentappears on Bilbray’s website, his Face-
book page nor his two Twitter accounts.“He (Bilbray) had the opportunity to
address us. So, tough,” Martin said atthe end of the forum. “It’s his loss.”
Bilbray, who currently represents the50th Congressional District, now has tovie for the approval of voters in OceanBeach and throughout the Peninsulabecause of redistricting that now putshim in the 52nd District. Before mapswere redrawn, virtually everythingsouth of I-8 and west of Pacific High-
way belonged in District 53, whereDemocrat Susan Davis is the incumbent.
“If you’re hiding sir, please come out,”said a board member as the forum wasset to begin, nearly one hour after themeeting began at 7 p.m. It soon becameapparent that Peters would be the onlyspeaker, and he took full advantage.
In response to a question about anopposition ad knocking Peters for hisstance on Medicare reform, Peters said,“I want to cut costs to save the program.Mr. Bilbray has voted to cut benefits andend the program.”
Peters said he supports negotiatingthe price of prescription drugs, endingfraud and overbilling, taking advantageof electronic recordkeeping and othernew technologies, and promoting pre-ventative care as cost-cutting measures.
“It’s taking (Medicare) from a sick-care system that rewards proceduresand visits to a healthcare system thatincentives prevention,” Peters said.
In response to an attack ad for thepension scandal when Peters served as amember of the San Diego City Council,Peters offered a different account.
“The city had three decades of pen-sion underfunding. When I came on,unfortunately, I voted to continue thatpractice for another year, which was amistake,” he said. “The more importantthing is, we set about to solve the prob-lem. We hired two outside experts to tellus what to do and we followed theiradvice. We ended pension underfund-ing. We made it illegal.”
He said Mayor Jerry Sanders praisedPeters as a “partner in meaningful pen-sion reform” for helping to bring about anew pension system and added SanDiego’s reforms are seen as a model forother cities.
“No one’s called Congress a model foranything,” said Peters. “My opponent’strying to get you to look at San Diego in
2002 so you won’t look at Washingtonin 2012, where they borrow 30 centsfor every dollar that they spend, andthey’re still pointing fingers and haven’teven got started.”
On immigration, Peters said he sup-ports the Dream Act, while Bilbray has“gone with the Tea Party” and “taken ahard-line stance against any kind ofimmigration reform.”
Peters also expressed support for bet-ter border-crossing infrastructure, devel-opment of alternative fuels, fighting cli-mate change and continued tuitionsupport for students.TOWN COUNCIL NOTES

That is exactly what happened ear-lier this year when an unknownpatron of OB Suds left behind a heavymetal box labeled “Henry Lefebvre:April 30, 1995” from Secure Cremato-rium in one of the carwash’s bays.After OB Suds owner Frank Greene dis-
covered the box six months ago, heheld onto it, thinking someone wouldreturn to claim it. When that didn’thappen, he turned the box over to theOcean Beach MainStreet Association(OBMA) to help solve the mystery.
“We put the word out and we wereoverwhelmed with the press from allover. Within 18 hours, people werereading about Henry all over the coun-try,” said Denny Knox, executive direc-tor of OBMA. “It’s amazing how fastthe story spreads.”
After Lefebvre’s story broke on Oct. 22 on OBMA’s Facebook page, thecommunity business organizationreceived a number of calls and emailsfrom genealogy buffs who offered tohelp track down Lefebvre’s relatives.
“A niece in Australia was contactedby a number of individuals, who gra-ciously researched this for us, emailedme and managed to find another rela-
tive in Douglas, Ariz., who contactedanother relative in California,” saidKnox. “Gary Lefebvre said he will behere in two weeks and will pick upHenry’s ashes from us.”
Although the mystery remains as to
who left the box at OB Suds, Lefebvrewill soon be reunited with loved ones,thanks to the dedicated efforts of theOBMA and others around the nationwho contributed to tracking thegenealogy of Henry Lefebvre.

The law of unintended
consequences includes having
to go through court and spend a fair amount of
money on attorneys fees and costs. Depending on
how you hold title and the value of the real estate,
you will have to file an action in court. The filing
fee is now $435.00 and it goes up often.
Your minor child may inherit part of the home and
you will have to set up a guardianship in court for them to hold title to
property until they are 18 years old. And yes, there is another filing fee. If you
want to sell the home and buy another, you will need a court order to do so
and yes, there is another filing fee for that.
This will never happen, right? It just happened to a client of mine. A single Dad
whose spouse died. Please, do your estate planning because it costs so much
less and avoids hassles, challenges and expensive situations.

San Diego Architectural Foundation’sannual Orchids & Onions Awardsreturned to honor this year’s bloomersand stinkers in architecture, interiordesign, historic preservation, sustain-able design and landscape architecturethroughout the city.
This year, among 19 projects present-ed with blooming honors at the Muse-um of Contemporary Art in La Jolla inOctober was the newly constructedOcean Beach comfort station, a highlyanticipated beachfront restroom facilitythat integrates playful design anddetails, brightly colored tile walls, a can-tilevered winged roof and geometricbicycle racks and showers for localbeachgoers.
The public restroom, commissioned
by the city’s public art program, notonly showcases the structural and artis-tic visions of architects Kevin DeFreitasand Sillman Wright and artist ShinpeiTakeda, it also pays homage to the cul-ture and history of Ocean Beachthroughout the facility, particularly onits 1,700-square-foot ceiling, which isdecaled with interlacing circles of text
sourced from Ocean Beach publicationsover the last decade.
By day, the restroom enjoys naturallighting and ventilation from an elevat-ed gap between the roof and walls — amuch-improved experience from theportable beach toilets that occupied thelocation when the old restroom wasdemolished a few years ago. By night,the art-adorned ceiling is illuminatedwith a soft glow, making the facilityeven more beautiful after the sun goesdown.
What is typically a drab facility builtout of necessity has been redefined intoa potential canvas for sound architec-ture and masterful works of art, earningthe architects and artist of the OceanBeach comfort station a well-deservedOrchid during this year’s awards cere-mony.

inspirational story of late surfing legendJay Moriarity.
Looking tan with rugged leading-mangood looks, Weston showed the at-firstskeptical group of teens he is no kookwhen it comes to exchanging surf lingo,and the Pointer surf team was quick towarm up to the non-local in their midst.
And Weston did almost all his ownsurfing in the film, noting filmmakers didnot know about his surfing abilities whenhe was cast.
Hundreds of curious students showedup for the gathering, emceed by Pointersurf team co-captain Vicki Gonzalez.
Among the strongest messages in theuplifting movie is the deep real-life men-toring bond that formed when 15-year-old Moriarity approached his Santa Cruzneighbor, “Frosty” Hesson (co-star Ger-ard Butler), in an effort to surf the Mav-ericks surf spot.
Hesson put his young protégé throughgrueling physical workouts and writingassignments to prepare him for the poten-tially deadly challenges of conquering themassive 40-foot waves, beautifully cap-tured on film.
“We all have problems and situationsin our lives where we could use the helpof a mentor,” Weston told the teens. “Iwant to encourage each of you to reachout.”
A highlight of the event was a drawingfor a surfboard matching the one used byMoriarity on his real-life first ride on aMavericks monster. Weston drew a tick-et held by surf team member JordynValence, who confided he traded his orig-inal ticket for the winner.
Weston autographed the board for thebeaming winner.
“I was very flattered that so many kidswere there,” Weston said, “because Iknow it was optional and they didn’t haveto come. The campus was beautiful.”
Before Weston reached the crowd, hereceived a crash course in the skills andreputation of PLHS surfers. His first stopwas a “really special” interview video-taped by journalism students, where acollection of brilliantly colored trophieswon by the surf team had been placedon a table next to Weston’s chair.
The actor took note. “Wow. Long-board, first place,” he read, while hold-ing one.
Indeed, the Pointer campus was select-ed to host Weston’s promotional visitbecause of its top-ranked team of 31 boyand girl surfers currently riding the crestof county rankings.
Head coach Lou Ghio has run theteam since the mid-1990s and, withassistant Julie Klein and PLHS athleticdirector John Murphy, have set up a pro-gram that builds strength through theschool’s new weight room and yogainstruction.
There’s no room for slackers because of
study halls and tutoring. Murphy points to several recent school
valedictorians from the surf team, includ-ing Corten Singer (2012) and Josh Morse(2010, now a member of the nationallyranked San Diego State University surfteam). And Gonzalez is a front-runner forthe class of 2013 honor.
“I want to say that San Diego is one ofthe most beautiful towns and the peopleare some of the kindest, most real peopleI have ever been around,” Weston said.
SURF NOTESLater in the evening, Weston and
about 120 Pointer students met again ata special free screening of the film in Mis-sion Valley. Weston spoke to audiencemembers and signed movie posters.
On 16-year-old Jay Moriarity’s firstattempt at Mavericks (depicted in thefilm), he experienced a near-fatal wipe-out captured in a famous cover photo onSurfer magazine.
Moriarity died June 15, 2001, the daybefore his 23rd birthday, while free-div-ing in Maldives, the smallest Asian coun-try.
An annual “The Jay at Mavericks BigWave Invitational” is now part of the BigWave World Tour. Held at Mavericksbetween Nov. 1 and Mar. 1, invited con-testants are notified 48 hours before theevent to take advantage of maximumconditions.
“Frosty” challenged Jay with what hecalled “The 4 Pillars of Life Challenge,”
consisting of mental, physical, emotion-al and spiritual areas. An interactive site(www.livelikejay.com) has been set up
where people can test themselves. Taskschange weekly and there are prizes forthose who conquer all four.

Hirmez a much more generous offer. “He offered me $1 million to leave,
and we still didn’t leave because wewanted to operate a business,” he said.
Hirmez produced documentation toThe Peninsula Beaconto verify his claims.Both Megdal & Associates and Megdal’sreal-estate broker, Retail Insite, declinedto comment for this story.
In a separate move in 2001, theHirmez brothers purchased the formerBank of America building on NewportAvenue, which now houses OceanBeach Surf & Skate, in anticipation ofanother attempted buyout by Megdal.
“One reason that I didn’t take themillion dollars and go into a building Ihad purchased for that reason isbecause I did not want to go and com-pete with other merchants at thattime,” he said. “I wanted them to sur-vive and have their livelihood. But nowI’m handcuffed. I have no choice.”
Hirmez said he offered to spend $1 million of his own funds to rehabil-itate the existing facility owned by Meg-dal and replace outdated equipment inexchange for more favorable rent.
“The main reason that we have notrehabbed this place and given the com-munity what they deserve — with hotfoods and fresh bakeries and delis andthe state-of-the-art market they deserve— is because we haven’t had a lease,”he said. “We’ve always known that he’sgoing to get rid of us, so we could notreinvest back into this because we werea lame duck. It breaks our hearts not tohave been able to run a premium oper-ation here.”
When Apple Tree Market’s leaseended in February 2011, Hirmezbegan paying on a month-to-monthbasis at a rate equaling $200,000 peryear. According to Hirmez, thelandowner is seeking nearly doublewhat Hirmez is currently payingmonth-to-month.
On Sept. 27, Hirmez was served a60-day notice to vacate the premises— not because he was not paying hisrent, but because he refused to sign amonth-to-month rental agreementthat he said would have bound him tothe every whim of his landowner.
“I never signed it because I didn’twant to encumber myself with the 40-page month-to-month lease from him,where he would have handcuffed me to
all these requirements and hung meout to dry,” he said. “There are justmany, many things he would haveforced on me.”
The 60-day notice to vacate wouldrequire that Apple Tree leave thepremises by Nov. 27, just before theholiday rush.
On Oct. 1, Denny Knox, executivedirector of the Ocean Beach Main-Street Association, wrote a letter toMegdal urging him to reconsider AppleTree’s closure date for the benefit of thenearby elderly and handicapped neigh-bors who don’t drive and would facehardship without a supermarket near-by.
“The timing of their notice to vacateis extremely onerous for our walkingcommunity,” Knox wrote in her letter.“In order to comply with your notice,Apple Tree would most likely have toclose their doors well before the heavyshopping period immediately preced-ing the Thanksgiving holiday, leaving alocal population of approximately18,000 without a local supermarketin downtown Ocean Beach during thiscritical time.”
Knox also stressed concern aboutthe “cascading negative effects” OceanBeach would suffer as a result of avacancy at the site. A long-term vacan-cy and a community without a localsupermarket would likely drive peopleout of the community for their groceryneeds and subsequently away fromother local merchants, add to theunemployment affecting more than 20families and contribute to the overalleconomic uncertainty of the smallcommunity, Knox said in the letter.
“If all efforts are exhausted with thepresent tenant, please consider allow-ing Apple Tree to operate until anoth-er suitable grocer is located to fill thatimportant spot in our community,” shewrote.
Hirmez, too, pleaded with hislandowner to have another month.
“After 25 years, I don’t deserve 90lousy days?” queried Hirmez. “If hecared about the community, he wouldhave granted us one lousy [more]month to serve during Christmas.”
Although Hirmez intends to rebuildanother full-service grocery store —possibly at the brothers’ location onNewport Avenue — it will most likelyoperate on a smaller scale, he said.
“We will put together a nice newstore, but it’s going to take time,” hesaid.

projects using an internal procedure.But for fiscal year 2014, the city hasinvited all 40-odd community planninggroups to weigh in.
At its monthly meeting Oct. 17, theNBCPG voted 8-0 for six priorities — twofrom the city’s “needs” list, which areproposals that currently lack funding —and four ideas of their own.
The two city-created projects are largeswaths of new sidewalk in two places:along the south side of Kurtz Streetbetween Hancock and Sherman streetsnorth of the Valley View Casino Center;and the west side of Rosecrans Streetfrom Sports Arena Boulevard to PacificHighway.
The most ambitious priority is an ideathe group generated to signalize theintersection of Barnett Avenue andsouthbound Pacific Highway. At thesame time, the group calls for raisingBarnett Avenue to grade, eliminating a
World War II-era underpass membersderided for being prone to flooding andtraffic accidents.
The realignment would also allowpedestrian movement for surroundingbusinesses, said NBCPG chairwomanMelanie Nickel.
The underpass is believed to be a relicfrom the days when Convair manufac-tured planes in the area and neededaccess to Lindbergh Field, Nickel said.
“It may have made sense duringWorld War II, but not today,” she said.
The three other priorities were:• a study of traffic-calming measures
on northbound Pacific Highway at theBarnett Avenue merge;
• a study of how improved overheadsignage or in-lane stenciling on theCamino Del Rio West onramp to I-8 andI-5 could reduce confusion and makesure cars know they’re in the right lane;
• and a study of how to make east-bound traffic on Sports Arena Boulevardless disorienting upon approachingRosecrans Street.
“It’s confusing. People don’t know
what lane goes where. A lot of peoplewind up in Old Town instead of on thefreeway,” Nickel said.
OTHER NBCPG NOTES• The board voted 8-0 to approve a
permit to add a self-serve, 24-hour carwash at the Arco gas station at 2940 Lytton St. Once final approval isgranted, construction of the carwashand other improvements should beginin the winter and cause the station toclose for up to six months, said Joan Vil-lase of Gary Engineering.
• The NBCPG wants a new name.Actually, they want their old name back.The group voted 8-0 to return to beingthe Midway Community PlanningGroup, the name they gave up four yearsago. The North Bay moniker in voguethen never really caught on and mostpeople have continued to use Midway,group members said. It’s unclear whenthe name change will become officialbecause it requires a formal amendmentto the group’s bylaws.

Fired up with Monday-night karaoke at The Harp
Karaoke has been given a bad rap overthe past few decades. The thought of badsinging to cheesy songs might put offsome, but in the right hands karaokecan be a lot of fun. Even if a vocalist isn’tparticularly top notch, an event hostwith a sense of humor and a sense offun can turn it into interactive enter-tainment. Such is the case with LauraJane Wilcock, who hosts karaoke everyMonday night at The Harp.
Wilcock has hosted this event sinceApril 2010, becoming a veteran of sim-ilar events at various locations aroundtown since 1991. With her signaturebrassy, larger-than-life style, Wilcock is anatural for playing the role of hostess.It’s a rare performer who can pull offwearing Viking horns while playing hertrusty inflatable guitar, but she’s morethan up to the challenge. Setting herapart from most others who emcee suchclub nights, Wilcock is a respected pow-erhouse vocalist in her own right,fronting the acclaimed band The Tight-en Ups.
She notes that when it comes tokaraoke, most neighborhoods have morein common than not.
“All neighborhoods yield talentedfolks, both local and tourist,” she said.
Wilcock notes that not everyone is agreat vocalist, but that’s okay.
“Of course, some folks sing betterthan others, so my karaoke nights fea-ture a ‘freedom to suck’ policy that pro-tects us from judgment at all times,” saidWilcock. “I do not care for karaoke con-tests. We will applaud.”
Wilcock admits to applying a systemto her open-mic nights.
“It helps to have a true love ofhumans and music, as well as being anenchanted conduit of hilarious goodtimes. Keep energy high, be fair, careabout the sound quality and mix of each
singer. And also, bring a cowbell.”Still, considering she is an San Diego
Music Awards-nominated singer withher band, how hard is it for her to dealwith a particularly bad singer?
“I just combine that love of humanswith the ‘freedom to suck’ motto andthen add tequila plus a sense of humor,”she joked.
According to Wilcock, Ocean Beachgives her a good blend of singers eachweek.
“We get a really good mix,” she said.“Euros from the hostel, neighborhoodguys thick with facial hair and an atti-tude, packs of surfer girls, off-duty rockstars, hospitality kids, softball team-mates and an above-average samplingof local comics.”
While Wilcock is open to performersof all styles, as long as they’re “friendly,fun-lovin’, brave and over 21,” she’s notadverse to cutting someone off if theyare disrespectful.
“I have cut many people off who
swing microphones, hit microphones,scream into microphones and don’t stopdoing these things when I ask them to,”she said.
She points out that certain types ofmusic fare better than others.
“It’s songs that encourage us to singalong, like ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ byBonnie Tyler, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ byQueen, and ‘Sweet Caroline’ by Neil Dia-mond. Those always get the crowdgoing. People also respond to humor andinterpretive dancing,” she said.
Although singers have 4,000 tunesto choose from, there is one artistWilcock would be happy to never hearagain.
“Anything by Celine Dion,” she saidgood-naturedly.
Even after more than 20 years of hear-ing the good and the bad when it comesto local singing, Wilcock said she is stillhaving fun at karaoke.
“I get to make loads of friends,” shesaid. “I get off on helping people achievethe high of public vocal performance ina safe and playful environment. Plus, Ican hone my improvisational skills as anemcee as well as my sound-mixing skills.And I get to play my beloved inflatableguitar like a rock and roll fiend,” she said.
Karaoke with Laura Jane Wilcocktakes place at 9 p.m. on Mondays at TheHarp, 4935 Newport Ave. 21 and up. Nocover.
With her signature brassy, larger-than-lifestyle, Laura Jane Wilcock is a natural for play-ing the role of hostess during open-mickaraoke nights at The Harp on Mondays.

1621 GRAND AVENUE AT INGRAHAM, 2ND FLOOR
1621 GRAND AVENUE AT INGRAHAM, 2ND FLOOR
In the regular season’s final week, allthree of Point Loma High School’s foot-ball teams will be playing for WesternLeague titles against Madison High onNov. 1 and 2.
Only the freshmen (7-1) will play onfamiliar Bennie Edens Field turf Nov. 1,taking on the Warhawks at 3 p.m.
The main event, a doubleheader,begins at 4 p.m. Nov. 2 with the unde-feated (8-0) J.V. Pointers trying to putthe bite on Madison before the varsitysquad (7-2) square offs off with theWarhawks at 6:30 p.m.
This year, the Warhawks (8-1) areaveraging 41 points in each victory, witha 42-28 loss to Valhalla (El Cajon) inweek two this season. They will bring aseven-game win streak into this week.
The team is led by running backPierre Cormier, who is being wooed bymore than 20 Div. I universities. On theseason, Cormier has totaled 1,300 yardson 113 carries, a whopping 11.5 aver-age per touch and 163 yards per game.He has scored 14 touchdowns.
As a team, the ’Hawks average 9.6 yards per carry and 295 yards pergame to complement 118 passing yardsper game for 413 total offensive yards.
The Pointers, however, bring a six-game win streak to the game andcounter with a strong defense and JamalAgnew, who has earned a reputationcountywide as a threat on offense as arunning back and on defense as a bruis-ing hitter.
Agnew, a game-changing player, has49 tackles and four pass interceptionson defense, while Zach Eischen andGrant Wilburn each have three inter-ceptions.
Also looking to stop the Warhawkswill be Pointer defenders like Greg Ver-
dugo (76 tackles, 2 sacks) and StevenArreola (67 tackles, 2 sacks).
Agnew has scored six touchdowns asa part-time offensive player and fourmore on defense and special teams,including punt returns (the longest 66yards) and kickoff returns (the longest85 yards).
Offensively, the Pointers offer runningbacks D.J. Lacy (661 yards, 7.7 yards pertouch) and teammates Branden Martin(199 yards), Agnew (175 yards), A. J.Smith (172 yards) and Ja’MarkusWatkins (153 yards).
The varsity showdown will be a repeatof last year’s final game, in which thePointers ruined Madison’s dreams of anundefeated season when the two teamsfought to a 13-13 tie in regulation. Anovertime session, won by the Warhawks,was used for playoff seeding purposesonly.
That game was also played on Madi-son’s field in a constant rainstorm thatlimited each team’s performance.
POINTERS POUND BUCS 34-12On Oct. 26, the Dogs traveled to Mis-
sion Bay and disposed of the Bucs 34-12in a game with a beginning that left theBucs stunned and in disarray.
The Pointers shocked their hosts, scor-ing 21 points in less than two minutes toopen their Western League footballgame in what could only be called a text-book illustration of Murphy’s Law forthe Bucs.
Mission Bay’s first mistake camewhen it booted the opening kickoff toAgnew, who promptly returned the ball80 yards for a score and a 7-0 Pointerlead just seconds into the contest.
After a three-and-out possession bythe hosts, the Dogs struck again, withOscar Moya covering 44 yards on a nice-ly executed run to put the Dogs up 14-0.
Next, the Pointers used a short kickoffthat caught the Bucs sleeping, withPointer Avery Cramer covering the liveball.
After Lacy raced 22 yards on the firstplay, A.J. Smith carried the pigskin fouryards into the end zone, giving the visi-tors a 21-0 lead.
The elapsed game time for the earlyPLHS scoring drives: one minute, 58 sec-onds.
On the first play of the second quarter,
Eischen picked off a Bucs pass attemptand the former quarterback showed hisrunning skills, dodging and weaving for66 yards before being brought downshort of the goal line.
Several plays later, Moya covered thelast yard for his second score and a 28-0 Dogs advantage.
After a scoreless third period, Pointersignal-caller Martin covered 39 yards ona keeper for the final score. A rare missedpoint-after kick by Miguel Alcantar leftthe Pointers with their final total.
The Bucs scored on a nine-yard passplay and a five-yard run, failing to con-vert both two-point conversions on apass and run.
EXTRA POINTS• The No. 2 jersey of former Bucs star
Arian Foster was retired in a halftimeceremony. Foster, now playing for theNFL’s Houston Texans, is currently theleading rusher in pro football. He wasable to attend the game because of theTexans’ bye week.
• Before Martin broke loose on his 39-yard touchdown run, he had two scor-ing dashes totaling 130 yards on thesame drive called back by questionableholding penalties far behind play.
• Senior running back Johnny Maesunderwent surgery for torn knee liga-ments on Oct. 26 and was visited byteam members after the game. They pre-sented him with a signed game ball fromthe Homecoming game on Oct. 12 whenhe was injured.
• Mission Bay still plays on a naturalgrass surface without lights. They arehoping to have a new artificial turf field,track and lighting installed by 2014. Thecurrent scoreboard is in such poor con-dition that the numbers could not beread most of the game. It displayed gametime as “8:99,” for example, and listedthe ball as being on the “60-yard line,”which does not exist in football.
• If the Pointers maintained theiropening pace (three touchdowns everytwo minutes) the projected score wouldbe 504-0.

Point Loma Pointer alum JonBerndes (class of 1965), ismaking his political voiceheard in a big way – via a500-pound pumpkin hegrew in his garden over thesummer. “I’m just having funwith it,” he said.
