President’s Column
By Jacqueline Bell, BRCC President
Xin Nian Kuai Le – Happy Lunar
Year Bird Rockers! The twelve
months beginning February 19,
2015 comprise the Year of the
Wood Sheep or Goat, traditionally
considered a symbol of peace and
tranquility. Given the global, as
well as domestic, turmoil we
witnessed in the Year of the Horse,
I hope the Sheep lives up to its
reputation.
I am sad to report that during our
winter hiatus Bird Rock lost one of
our
favorite
neighborhood
restaurants. La Basil Thai closed
its doors in late December. We are
sorry to see it go and hopeful that
another family-friendly restaurant
will take its place.
On a more upbeat note, we are
delighted to welcome the running
shoe store, Just Run, to the
neighborhood. They are located
on the corner of Midway St. and
La Jolla Blvd.

New Bird on the Block:
Bird Rock Oyster & Sushi Bar
Bird Rock welcomes Gabriel Uribe and Albert Sandoval, coowners of Bird Rock Oyster & Sushi Bar, the new restaurant at
5752 La Jolla Blvd in the location previously occupied by Station
Sushi. The restaurateurs did an outstanding job hosting the BRCC
Holiday Party in December, serving a veritable feast of sushi,
shrimp, chicken, consomme, and other delights. At the time the
restaurant did not yet have its license to serve alcoholic libations,
but it does now!
A native San Diegan, Gabriel opened his first restaurant, Baja
Oyster & Sushi Bar, twelve years ago in Imperial Beach. It has
been a huge success with regular patrons driving from as far away
as north county to enjoy the fare.

Rates are still low—now is
a good time to consider
a new mortgage.
Yes, rates are edging up. But they’re still low. Which means that now is still a good time to consider
a mortgage for a new home—or to simply refinance. There are many options out there and it may
seem overwhelming. Call me today and I’d be happy to help find the mortgage that’s right for you!

President’s Column
We wish them every success. We
are also looking forward to the
opening of Wheat and Water,
purveyor of craft beer and
artisanal comfort food, at 5737
La Jolla Blvd. in the near future.
Let's keep our business district
vibrant
by
continuing
to
patronize all of our local
restaurants and shops this year.
As discussed at the November
community meeting, the Bird
Rock Maintenance Assessment
District (MAD) will undertake a
couple of major projects this
year. The MAD will replace a
number of diseased sycamore
trees along La Jolla Blvd., that
are lifting the pavement, with
crape myrtle trees. We are using

medallion trees, at the suggestion
of the City of San Diego in order
to maintain tree diversity and
resiliency to pests and disease.
In addition, the MAD will begin
replacing the metal sidewalk
guard rails located at various
intersections on the boulevard.
The guard rails have deteriorated
considerably
since
their
installation as part of the trafficcalming measures in 2007. We
thank you for your patience and
apologize for any inconvenience

projects are being carried out.

professionally and uniformly judged. Coffee Review conducts blind, expert

Got Paddling?
Unbeknownst to much of the population of San
Diego, there is a club located on Fiesta Island,
known as the SDCKT (San Diego Canoe and Kayak
Team). The team was founded by Head Coach,
Chris Barlow, a USA Olympic Medal Kayak
Athlete, and is coached by Chris and his expert and
enthusiastic team of highly experienced coaches. It
is the only team in all of California. They compete
with teams all across the world.
Recently the team has been competing locally, in
locations such as Newport, La Jolla, Long Beach,
Oceanside, and Fiesta Island. They will be
competing in Santa Barbara later this January, as
well. The team practices Mondays, Wednesdays,
Fridays, and Saturday mornings. The routine
involves timed runs, lifting, pull ups, core exercises,
and trails on the water. Athletes can paddle in all
different types of Kayaks and Canoes, and are
usually paired with a vessel according to their skill
level. The club offers free trials (ages 7-17) on
Saturday mornings.
this year from July 29 to August 2, 2015, at the
Olympic training Center in Chula Vista. The 2015
racing season includes races ranging from Newport
to Dana Point.
I have only been a member of the High School
Racing Team since September 2014, and I am
enjoying every minute. We San Diegans are so
fortunate to have such an opportunity right in our
own backyard. There is no excuse to not go down
and give this exciting and thrilling sport a try; it may
just change your life.
To see the full schedule of races, please visit
www.sdckt.net, contact 858-273-0063 (Gerry
Barlow, team manager).
By Kieran M. Bauman
Junior, La Jolla High School
There are also different teams associated with the
club; the Racing Team is more intense, while the
Development Team focuses more on learning
technique and learning the basics. No matter where
you place yourself, you can be assured that you will
receive the best experience possible. The team is for
everyone, one of the youngest members is 5, and one
of the oldest is 70!
There are 6 more races in the current Ocean Series,
the next one takes place in Santa Barbara. San Diego
is hosting the USA Canoe Kayak Sprint Nationals
