Restaurant surcharges could violate state law City attorney investigating claims By DAVE SCHWAB
PUDDLE PEDALING A series of storms roared through San Diego from Thursday, Jan. 19 to Tuesday, Jan. 24 depositing about 2.4 inches of rain and causing some flooding, downed trees, and power outages. (Above) After a morning rain storm on Friday, Jan. 20, the sun finally made an appearance in Pacific Beach and people took advantage by walking and riding on Ocean Front Walk near Hornblend Street.

New City Attorney Mara Elliott is alleging that several San Diego restaurants, including some along the beachfront, are adding questionably legal, 3 percent surcharges to customers' bills without proper notice to compensate for a minimumwage pay increase that took effect Jan. 1. At a Jan. 5 press conference, Elliot said her office's Consumer and Environmental Protection Unit has received information that “some San Diego restaurants are adding what they describe as a 'mandated' minimum-wage surcharge to customers’ bills, as much as 3.5 percent above and beyond what the prices on the menu indicate. “Many of these diners did not learn of this so-called surcharge – which is not mandated by any governmental entity – until they

received their check,” Elliott said at the conference. “This practice may violate California law, and specifically, its provisions against false advertising. “Citizens are entitled to know upfront the cost of their meals and the basis for each charge included in their bill. Those restaurants who do not adequately inform their customers may be receiving letters from our office indicating that we are investigating them for potential violations of the law.” SEE SURCHARGE, Page 10

Big Josh Foundation fundraiser set for Jan. 30 at Miller’s Field Miller's Field in Pacific Beach is hosting the second major fundraiser to benefit a cancerstricken employee, Big Josh, 5 p.m. to midnight Monday, Jan. 30 at 4465 Mission Blvd. The event will be a memorable industry gathering offering drink specials, a buffet, Big Josh-inspired memorabilia, a “Big Josh look-alike” contest at 8 p.m., a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle giveaway around 10 p.m. and an appearance by the big guy himself. This past summer, the San Diego service industry was rocked with some unsettling news about Big Josh Gehlbach, employed by Miller's for several years, when he abruptly left work one afternoon with a headache. Later, he found himself in the ER diagnosed with a fast-acting form of cancer. Not only did this news shake Josh and his wife, but it stirred up some harsh realizations among the service industry community, many of whom are left without medical safety nets or financial security in the event of a life challenge. Some of Big Josh’s closest friends subsequently created the Big Josh Foundation, a fundrais-

ing campaign geared toward raising money, for not only Josh to fight his battle, but other industry members who may face similar challenges in the future. "Since moving here almost 10 years ago and meeting Josh through the industry family, I have yet to meet someone in my life that is so selfless, hard working, and full of positivity,” said Jeff Shallcross, a colleague of Josh's at Miller's Field. “I then started working side-by-side with him and witnessed how truly big his heart is and how amazing a man he is. All you want to do is anything and everything to help him in a time of need." Leading up to the event, volunteers and friends of Josh will be selling 50/50 raffle tickets, with half of the money given to the Big Josh Foundation and the other half raffled off to one lucky recipient at about 10 p.m.
Sports Mission Bay soccer teams aim for playoffs By DAVE THOMAS As January winds down, both Mission Bay High soccer teams have their eyes on the prize, a trip to the CIF playoffs.
Girls soccer On the girls side, head coach Jorge Palacios had his team entering play this week with a record of 14-2-1, something he noted was a really great start for a young team. “We have five seniors, two juniors, three sophomores, and nine freshmen on the varsity team,” Palacios commented. “Our goals are to win our league title and a CIF title, represent our school well, learn and grow as players, people, and teammates, and have a lot of fun.” According to Palacios, Diana Suarez is a standout senior as the team’s starting central midfielder and one of its captains. The Bucs have two other strong senior captains in Lindsey Price and Kylie Kroeger, who are both three-sport athletes. Palacios noted the team has been bolstered by the addition of a number of talented freshmen including Jeryn Young, Malaya Sharpe, Andrea Clemente, and Lina Rodriguez, who leads the team in goals scored. “We had a strong start to our City League season, with an exciting

The 12U team made it to the championship game and finished as the third-best team in San Diego. The 10U team made it to the Super Bowl, losing to Linda Vista, but ranked as the second best team. The teams are made up of players from PB Middle, PB Elementary, and Kate Sessions, and were coached by Lee Silber, Tim Gardner, Stephen Tarbell, Tom Norton, and Bill Horton. Both teams finished with 10-5 records.
News Dumlao convicted of vehicular manslaughter By NEAL PUTNAM A jury convicted a man Jan. 18 of gross vehicular manslaughter in the death of a Pacific Beach girl in 2010 in a case involving “huffing” or inhaling chemicals from computer keyboard cleaner cans. The jury also convicted Romeo Balbin Dumlao, 41, of driving under the influence of these chemicals from cans which were found in his car, which killed Ashley Heffington at a stoplight at West Point Loma Boulevard and Sports Arena Boulevard. The eight man, four woman jury deliberated one day in San Diego Superior Court before convicting him. The girl was critically injured Dec. 31, 2009, and taken off life support on Jan. 12, 2010 after doctors declared she was brain dead. Dumlao’s attorney, Kerry Armstrong, had argued there was no state-wide standard of measurement for diflouroethane, which is an odorless gas. He argued unsuccessfully his client was not under the influence. Deputy District Attorney Nicole Rooney said Dumlao’s blood showed high levels of the chemical in his system and showed four cans to the jury
Man who stabbed woman in Mission Beach to be released A 73-year-old man who stabbed a woman near Belmont Park in 2014 was sentenced Dec. 14 to 881 days already spent in jail and was to be released to a senior citizen supervision program. Terrance Alphonce Behan was placed on three years probation by San Diego Superior Court Judge Dan Link, who ordered he be released from jail only with a representative of the senior citizen program. Behan was still in jail Thursday, but was expected to be released when the representative shows up at the George Bailey Detention Facility. He received credit for time served. Behan stabbed the woman, 54, in the 3000 block of Mission Boulevard on July 18, 2014, after claiming the woman’s smoking bothered
which were found in his car. The jury also determined that the girl’s mother and three others injured in the collision did not suffer great bodily injuries. This means Dumlao can only be sentenced for gross vehicular manslaughter and not receive consecutive sentences for the other injuries. Rooney said the maximum sentence is around 10 years and eight months in state prison. Judge Louis Hanoian set sentencing for March 3. Dumlao remains in jail without bail. Armstrong said he considers the verdicts a win because the jury did not find the other victims suffered great bodily injuries. Thus he can’t receive consecutive sentencing enhancements. Dumlao, of Chula Vista, did not testify. Dumlao pleaded guilty to the charges in 2010 and received 16 years in prison, but he was able to get his guilty plea reversed while acting as his own attorney from prison. Dumlao successfully persuaded a judge his sentence was the result of a judicial error over interpretation of sentencing enhancements. His guilty plea was reversed in March 2016, and he was returned
to San Diego to face trial. Armstrong said he has already served 6 ½ years in prison, and might only need to serve two more years before he is eligible for parole. That’s why Armstrong considers the verdicts a win. Rooney argued the girl’s mother and three others did suffer great bodily injuries, noting that many still have pain in their bodies. “Seven years of pain is not minor,” said Rooney. According to court records, Dumlao’s blood showed elevations of the drug Prozac, an anti-depressant, and two other prescription drugs. Armstrong said those drugs were at therapeutic levels. Cindy Heffington was stopped at a red light in her Toyota Camry at 9:15 a.m. and her daughter was strapped inside a booster seat in the back seat. Dumlao’s Toyota 4Runner rearended into her vehicle at approximately 50 mph and struck other vehicles. Cindy Heffington was the trial’s first witness on Jan. 11. Jurors began deliberations on Tuesday afternoon and returned verdicts Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 18.
him, which was mentioned in court. He pleaded guilty Nov. 2 to assault with a deadly weapon, and a criminal threat count was dismissed. Behan faced a maximum term of four years in prison. Behan was determined to have regained his mental competency some months ago after receiving treatment and psychiatric medications after he was committed to Patton State Hospital in April 2015.
David Rubin, who gave him credit for already serving 241 days in jail. He was fined $1,800. A jury convicted him of oral copulation and digital penetration of a minor, and using a minor in sexually explicit images on his cellphone. The same jury acquitted him of four other charges on Sept. 22, 2016. “It’s hard to have remorse when you deny what you’ve done,” said Deputy District Attorney Marisa Di Tillio, referring to Spear’s testimony at trial. “This was not a one-time thing. This was akin to an affair,” said the prosecutor. “He had multiple opportunities to walk away.” Di Tillio asked Rubin to impose a prison term of three years and four months while his attorney, Kerry Armstrong, asked for a 270-day term in jail. – NEAL PUTNAM
Former Border Patrol agent gets two years for sex with minor A former Border Patrol agent who was convicted of having sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl in a Mission Bay hotel was sentenced Jan. 20 to two years in state prison. Daniel Alfredo Spear, 46, was ordered to register as a sex offender by San Diego Superior Court Judge

San Diego lifeguard legend to retire after 35 years, and countless rescues By DAVE SCHWAB If you ask retiring San Diego lifeguard Bill Bender's wife of 36 years, Michelle, about his 35-plus-year career, she'll tell you Bill mostly “didn't bring the details of his workday home with him every day.” But Michelle noted, a typical conversation with her husband at the end of his long days might include: “I saved two children from drowning today,” or “I saved another boat from sinking today.” Or even, Michelle continued, Bill might have said something more unusual like: “I figured out how to tow a dead whale to keep it away from the beach,” or “I jumped out of a helicopter, I was in the news, I caught poachers, I searched a lake for a drowing/accident victim and found the body.” Once, Michelle said, Bill's answer was, “I followed a machete-wielding woman around the beach today until police arrived.” Mostly, Michelle remembers Bill saying, “I get to go to work today,” as opposed to “I have to go to work today.”
Longtime lifeguard and lifeguard union chief Ed Harris, a colleague of Bender, noted he's saved countless lives – including his own. “In 1993, I was in Cabo with Bill and we were making a 100-foot free dive and on my return I went unconscious,” Harris said. “He (Bill) saw me going unconscious, and as I started sinking back down, he pulled me to the surface and shook me (awake). I absolutely owe my life to Bill.” Harris, referring to Bender as a “legend,” pointed out he and other San Diego lifeguards “made 9,000 rescues this year alone.” Of Bender, his friend and colleague, who will officially retire Feb. 9, Harris added, “he will be leaving a void to fill,” while noting Bill “still held, at age 55, a lot of records and can still compete against the younger guards and win.” That's a feat, Harris noted, “few people 55 years and older can do at that level.” Bender is a San Diego Lifeguard sergeant and a member of the Dive Rescue/Recovery Team, Boating
Safety Unit Level 3 Boat Operator, and a field training officer of all skills. Asked if he'd encourage people to become lifeguards, Bill Bender replied, “Absolutely.” But, when asked what aspiring lifeguard's expectations should be, he answered, “You're not going to get rich.” Though he was quick to add, “It's a fun job that you like to go to every day and it is certainly satisfying helping people out.” Bender talked about the most difficult aspect of lifeguarding. "I remember one day a gentleman drowned at Mission Beach and we had to bring his kids in to our office and tell them, 'Your father is not going to come back,'" he said. "That is really the hardest part of the job, and I've done it a lot over the years – way too much.” But the occupation does have its satisfying moments, and there is certainly a counterbalance with the huge number of lives saved versus the much smaller number lost. An avid spearfisherman and diver,
Lifeguard Bill Bender is retiring from the Dive Rescue/Recovery Team. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Bender plans to continue to do a significant amount of both, after retiring. Reflecting back on his lifeguard career, Bender said he's proud of having played a role in the evolution of the San Diego Lifeguard service into a more professional organiza-
tion emulated worldwide. “We now have 24-hour lifeguarding service, and we've hired more guards so they don't have to work alone at night,” Bender said. “Over the last 35 years, it's just been rewarding to say we've been able to make those kinds of changes.”

Lifestyle Finding clues to fun at Quicksand Escape Games By DAVE SCHWAB You and your team are locked in a backroom of a 1920s speakeasy, and your task is to find and decipher clues allowing you to escape within an hour before the “big boss” comes to “kneecap” you. That's one of two scenarios played out, with a third on the way, at Quicksand Escape Games on Garnet Avenue. Escape rooms have been popping up all over San Diego with different themes. They excel in creating clever clues, which attendees must figure out to “escape” the room. One of latest escape games has emerged in Pacific Beach. Owned and operated by Greg and Jenny Sanders, Quicksand's escape room is concealed at the end of a long, white hallway on the building's second floor. “Escape rooms started as flash animated computer click games,” said Greg Sanders. “One of those games made it to 'real life' in Japan in 2006. From there it expanded and there is now a huge mature market for it throughout Asia and Europe. In the last two or three years, its really taken off and become much bigger in the United States.” The Sanders' escape room was the sixth in San Diego and first opened in July 2016. The couple note they've been ranked the top escape

First exposed to the game-room concept while traveling abroad in 2015, Greg Sanders said, “We started doing them in every city we went to,” adding, “We thought it would be a great addition to the Pacific Beach area for both locals and tourists.” “They're addictive,” concluded Jenny. It's obvious the couple have taken great pride – and joy – in designing
and outfitting their own theme rooms. Without giving away any clues, both Sanders-crafted diner and speakeasy are historical reconstructions of similar rooms from those eras, with clues concealed in all manner of ways utilizing props distributed inside both rooms. “When you go into the rooms you observe and collect different things, SEE ESCAPE, Page 10

SURCHARGE >> CONT. FROM PG. 1
“We are not doing the surcharges, we are remaining as before,” said John Gelastopoulos, owner of Broken Yolk Cafe, founded in 1979 in Pacific Beach. “I think some (restaurants)
jumped the gun and went ahead (with surcharges).” The restaurateur added he agreed with Elliott's stance that the customer has to know beforehand about any extra charges. “And that (surcharge) is an extra charge,” Gelastopoulos said. “Customers shouldn't be surprised when
Fall in love with your jewelry again with new design from Diamonds on the Rock Diamonds on the Rock is operated by Debra Levine and her Son David. “I grew up working in my family’s Jewelry store in Upstate New York and always prided myself on giving personal attention and great customer service” said Debra. My favorite thing to do is help someone fall in love with their jewelry again. Many people have things in their collection that they do not wear because it may not fit their current taste. We can redesign, reset, trade or even buy your piece so that it will be worn again!
Debra is a Graduate Gemologist and former Diamond Instructor at the GIA (Gemological Institute of America). She has been a jewelry designer for over 25 years. We can work with you to design a piece that is completely your own and one of a kind. Bring in your most used and cherished jewelry to be cleaned, repaired, or have the stones remounted to have them looking like the day you purchased them. Diamonds on the Rock is located in Bird Rock at 5630 La Jolla Blvd. Call 858 750 2190 or Come in today!
they get their their bill and there's an extra charge on it.” Gelastopoulos noted the impact of any surcharge varies with how high-end the restaurant involved is. Citing an example, Gelastopoulos noted, “At a seafood place, where a dinner and glass of wine runs $40 or $50, a 3 percent surcharge comes to $1.50,” which, he added, is probably “not going to matter much to someone who's paying $50 for a meal.” But, Gelastopoulos added, that changes significantly when the bill is a fraction of that cost, making the surcharge more impactive. “And where does that 3 percent go?,” he asked. Pointing out that the minimum wage, and menu item costs, rise with the cost of living over time, Gelastopolous noted, 24 years ago when he first bought the Broken Yolk, the minimum wage was $4.25 an hour and omelets were about $5. Today, those figures are about $10 an hour and $12-plus. Concerning the possibility of
instituting future surcharges or of raising prices, Gelastopolous said, “I would have to consult with my people before making a decision, but we're not planning now to do any.” On its website, the Brigantine restaurant chain, which owns two Peninsula eateries, noted that, as of Jan. 1, 2017, a 3 percent surcharge was added to all guest checks at The Brigantine and Miguel's. “In restaurants, where employees earn tips, the increased minimum wage goes directly to the highest earners in the house,” said the Brigantine website. “At the same time, the restaurant employees who would benefit most from an increase won’t see their pay go up much, if at all. The reason: California is one of the only states in the country that do not allow tips to count toward an employee’s income.” “Rather than just raise prices and, in turn, raise the pay of the highest earners (tipped employees), we decided to add a surcharge so we can better compensate all of our employees,” the Brigantine website
continued. “Any restaurant operator will tell you how much they value their back-of-the-house staff (the dishwashers, preps and cooks).” Noting San Diego’s minimum wage increase was approved by voters six months ago, Elliott said, “There has been ample time for every business owner to think through the law’s ramifications on their operations, and to make whatever lawful changes they deem appropriate to their prices. It’s unfortunate some restaurants chose another course. Based on the evidence, we may need to take them to court.” San Diego consumers who believe they have been improperly charged a surcharge can contact a consumer hotline at 619-533-5600 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. They may also file a complaint at sandiego.gov/city attorney. All complaints will be reviewed to determine whether there are violations of law.

Pilates for Guys and Here’s Why While women tend to dominate Pilates classes, Pilates holds plenty of benefits for men who rise to the challenge. Whether you're a powerlifter, or you’ve never tried Pilates, a Pilates class can help fine-tune your performance. How? The Pilates method is a system of physical and mental conditioning formerly known as contrology. A big part of Pilates is focusing on those muscles that don't typically get a lot of attention. In my 20 years of experience working with men, their muscles are a little tighter than women's, especially in the hips and ham-
strings, but exercises can be easily modified to allow those areas to stretch out gradually. Men that add Pilates to their routine can show improvements in a just a few sessions, including muscle strength, control, balance and posture. While I'll never know what makes one guy pursue Pilates and another try it only once, one thing is true: Pilates does benefit men just as it does women.

maybe numbers written on things, notes, color patterns on the walls,” said Greg. “As your (team) goes around (inspecting) you make logical connections between things, and start to make puzzles of sorts. When you solve those puzzles, it gives you codes to physical locks to unlock boxes.” Greg said teams of three to eight people work together against time to solve and unlock the riddle of each escape room. The Sanders are able to watch via TV monitors what's transpiring in their rooms. Greg noted they can “give hints to level the playing field” to help team members struggling to piece together their room puzzles and escape. “Probably 80 percent of the groups either get out of the room in the last five minutes, or maybe need five minutes more (to get out),” said Greg. Jenny said pricing is “tiered” for Quicksand's escape room with perperson cost going from $99 down to $26 as you go from three to eight players. “They get their money's worth,” promised Greg. “It's fun and challenging. You get to use your analytical skills.” “Sometimes, once they break out of the room – or even if they don't – they want to come back and do it again,” noted Jenny. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

SeaWorld transitioning to new ‘Orca Encounter’ As announced in March 2016, SeaWorld is transitioning from theatrical orca shows to a more educational presentation reflecting more natural behaviors of the whales. The first of these “live documentarystyle” presentations, called Orca Encounter, will debut at SeaWorld San Diego this summer. SeaWorld Orlando and SeaWorld San Antonio will follow by 2019. The final "One Ocean Shamu" show was conducted at SeaWorld San Diego on Sunday, Jan. 8. Their interim educational orca presentation called a “Killer Whale Presentation” started on Monday, Jan. 9. They have set up temporary seating (bleachers) around the orca underwater viewing area pool and will provide our guests this educational presentation while the new Orca Encounter backdrop is constructed at the main pool. Guests to SeaWorld San Diego will continue to experience live orca presentations, as they make preparations for the new education-based Orca Encounter to begin this summer.

Volunteers create Peace Garden at Mission Bay High A small idea to clean up part of the Mission Bay High School campus turned into a two-month project bringing MBHS alumni and the Pacific Beach community together and finishing with a Peace Garden for students to enjoy. Well-established shrubbery that housed rodents was removed several years ago, leaving a barren dirt area and was an eyesore for teachers and students at the high school. Andee Hales, MBHS class of 1977, and parent of a MBHS senior, and Carlos Moctezuma, parent of a MBHS freshman and owner of Moctezuma Landscaping, spent countless hours planning the garden, specifying drought-resistant plants and drip irrigation, finding funding and donors, and organizing volunteers. Working over several weekends in November, volunteers spent their time building, transporting materials, digging holes, and planting plants. George Podhorsky, a former MBHS student, volunteered his time in honor of his daughter, a MBHS student who was killed in 2009. Podhorsky installed the cinder-block bases of the four benches while Steve Soule, a MBHS alum, fabricated four wood bench tops.
The area before (left) and after as the Peace Garden at MBHS.
Luke Saldana, parent of several former MBHS students, picked up two cubic yards of recycled potting mix donated by Village Nurseries and Kristina and Tom Watson (MBHS class of 1978) transported 90 Lantana camera plants. On Saturday, Nov. 12, Andee and Carlos were joined by several more volunteers: MBHS vice-principal Nella Landau; Brad, Elkie, and Kieran Wills; Stacey and Tim O’Neill; Kim Schoettle; Kris Stone; and student Jaedan Ford who dug 90 holes for the plants and put together the tubing and other materials needed for the drip irrigation system. All of the irrigation materials were purchased at Home Depot (Genesee) at

Treasure Island Sixty students, ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade, representing all six Mission Bay Cluster public schools, participated in the one week theater production, ‘Treasure Island,’ at PBMS on Jan. 14.
Organ study scholarships Miranda Kaack, sixth grader at St. Paul’s Lutheran School, along with St. Paul’s alumni Sam Rudenberg (class of 2016) and Margaret Campbell (class of 2014), were awarded scholarships for organ study in Concordia University Irvine’s third annual Keyboard Day.
Music Club, a local nonprofit organization working to bring professional musicians to local schools, feels strongly about exposing students to professional musicians as part of their musical learning experience. "The students are excited to get a chance to perform with professional musicians," commented Fisher. "It makes them come away inspired, refreshed, and excited about the jazz art form." Brunious’ residency will culminate in a 7 p.m. concert on Feb. 3 at Dizzy’s, Arias Hall on 1717 Morena Blvd., behind the Musicians Association Building.
Barnard Elementary School Barnard Elementary School, San Diego’s largest and premier Chinese immersion public school, will host its annual Chinese New Year celebration on Saturday, Feb. 4, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Hundreds of students, parents, and community members are expected to attend this free, family-friendly event, which will be held on

reduce our tolerance towards aggressive transients and those organizations that support them only by feeding them, and not providing other services to create long-term solutions.”
PB EcoDistrict PBPG chair Brian J. Curry concurred that there will be no shortage of problems and issues
to tackle in 2017. “We are looking forward to finalizing conceptual development plans for De Anza Cove, Pacific Beach Parks (between Pacific Beach Drive and the pier) as well as the Balboa Transit Special Study Area on the west side of Interstate 5,” said Curry. “We also hope to further explore the best possible method for efficient public transit between the beach and future trolley station. We will continue to promote the Pacific Beach EcoDistrict and coordinate planning efforts to

implement the EcoDistrict goals and principals. Immediate plans are to improve and expand the PB Pathways project.” Curry added, “We will continue to oppose the City’s plan to expand the DecoBike bike share kiosk locations that directly compete with our local business owners, as well as the two existing locations on the boardwalk. We have, and will continue to oppose, whole-house, short-term vacation rentals in our community. Finally, we will continue to pressure our mayor to respond to the extremely high crime rate in and around our business district.”
Farmers Market Long-time PB community planner Chris Olson had a less fanciful take on the new year. “I wish for collaboration between community organizations and the City of San Diego on two priority areas,” Olson said. “Revitalize the business district and connect it with the community by expanding the Tuesday Farmers Market and moving it to Garnet Avenue. Also, we must continue to improve safety, access and connectivity on PB Pathways and other roadways for motorists, bicyclists, skaters and pedestrians. Signage and road paint is just the beginning. We need to find a source of funding for infrastructure improvements.”
Marijuana Community activist and PBPG member Scott Chipman had a different focus. “Looking forward to seeing more young families in PB,” Chipman said. “I've seen more couples with strollers in the last few years than in the previous 10 years. Not looking forward to more of our teens using and becoming addicted to pot (average age of introduction to pot is 12 years, 4 months) and more marijuanaimpaired drivers as a result of legalization.”

Of 2017, Discover PB executive director Sara Berns noted, “As we closed out 2016 and headed into the new year, our theme would be 'under construction,' and construction means business. If you drive around PB these days, you can’t help but notice a lot of construction equipment and work being done. While a nuisance for now, we know all this construction is serious business … growing business to be exact.” Berns added this year “Promises results, new budding businesses and stability for those who have shown they are here to stay. From large public projects like the Mid Coast Trolley Exten-
sion to private development like the new Oakmont project on Grand Avenue, PB is on its way to welcome exciting new changes to accommodate our growing community and the future of transportation. “Here at Discover Pacific Beach our goals are similar; to continue to assist our small-business community as changes occur in how people travel, shop and play, and protect the integrity of the locally owned businesses.” Early in the new year, Berns said Discover PB will “Be looking at expanding our Clean and Safe program and launching our new street banners. Throughout 2017, the organization hopes to start working with local commercial brokers to help future small business owners make smart decisions when investing in Pacific Beach, to be a voice for the commercial corridors in planning projects such as the trolley extension, and improving safety for pedestrians and bicyclists along Garnet Avenue and connecting streets.” Berns added the bid will begin the process of developing a five-year strategic plan for the organization as they enter a new stage of opportunity in economic development and placemaking. “Of course, we will be continuing all our local events to promote and keep our community vibrant,” she said. “In 2017, I would like to see the leaders of Pacific Beach continue to work collaboratively to bring visions that have been long in discussion closer to reality.”
Alcohol licenses PB Neighborhood Watch coordinator Marcella Teran had numerous concerns heading into 2017. “We need more police for our community,” Teran said. “We need the 'strong mayor' to protect our neighborhoods and allow for more hiring of police. “We need a moratorium on additional alcohol licenses, and a conditional use permit (for them),” Teran continued. “The high number of alcohol licenses are directly related to the number of police calls for fights and other crimes on Garnet they receive daily. Their efforts are taken away from our neighborhoods, where we are experiencing car break-ins, and other property crimes. “We need the City to enforce the city code about short term vacation rentals, in singlefamily neighborhoods. They are 'visitor accommodations,' and are eroding the community fabric of our neighborhood.”
