The Patio Group founder charged with fraud by SEC The Securities and Exchange Commission on Aug. 29 announced it has filed charges and obtained a consentedto asset freeze against San Diego-based ANI Development LLC, its principal, Gina Champion-Cain, and a relief defendant, for operating a multi-year $300 million scheme that defrauded approximately 50 retail investors. Champion-Cain is also the founder of The Patio Group, which operates the restaurants: The Patio on Lamont (Pacific Beach), The Patio on Goldfinch (Mission Hills), and Fireside By The Patio (Liberty Station). According to the SEC’s complaint, beginning in 2012, defendants fraudulently raised hunGina dreds of millions of Champion-Cain dollars from investors by claiming to offer investors an opportunity to make short-term, high-interest loans to parties seeking to acquire California alcohol licenses. In truth, the SEC alleges, the investment opportunity was a sham. Contrary to defendants’ representations, the SEC asserts, defendants did not use investor funds to make loans to alcohol license applicants. Instead, Cain directed significant amounts of investor funds to a relief defendant that she controlled. “The SEC took emergency action to stop what we allege is an egregious fraud,” said Los Angeles regional director Michele Wein Layne. “Importantly, the agreement we reached with the defendants to freeze their assets during the litigation will give investors the best chance to maximize their recovery going forward.” SEE SEC, Page 4

Plans to make Mission Boulevard more pedestrian, bicycle friendly BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS
A
roundabout at Pacific Beach Drive is just one improvement envisioned in a new City active transportation plan to make Mission Boulevard more pedestrian- and bicycle friendly between PB Drive and Diamond Street. The City unveiled its new Mission Boulevard Public Space and Active Transportation Plan at a community open house Aug. 28 at Pacific Beach Library. The City said engineers analyzed different intersection treatments for the Mission Boulevard concept, proposing that a roundabout at Pacific Beach Drive and Mission Boulevard “would serve as a gateway design feature and improve conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists while also maintaining traffic flow.” Through a collaboration with residents, business and property owners, the City Planning Department presented concepts to improve access to the boardwalk and mobility choices along Mission Boulevard for walking, bicycling, transit and micro mobility transportation. “As part of the final report, we’re going to prioritize these improvements for short- or long-term projects,” said senior City planner Elizabeth Ocampo Vivero on Aug. 28. “These improvements will not happen overnight. None of the concepts
we’ve prepared preclude anyone’s driveway access. This is really a path forward to improve walking and biking, access to transit and enhancing access to the beach.” “It (mobility plan) could be implemented as a Capital Improvement Program project or a grant-funded project,” said City spokes person Tara Grimes. “If the City receives grant funding for the improvements, this plan would point us in the right direction.” The City said it’s premature to consider mobility plan implementation costs. “Further studies would need to be done to give an accurate estimate for the proposed roadway realignments,” said Grimes, noting the plan’s preliminary engineering design is
30% complete that “provides the City with the opportunity to seek future grants to fund the full engineering design, technical studies and environmental analysis, which constitutes the remaining 70%.” Three PB residents — Marcie Beckett, Ed Gallagher and Greg Daunoras — who attended the open house reacted to the new active transportation plan. “The planned roundabout at Mission Boulevard and Pacific Beach Drive, coupled with the reduction of traffic lanes on Mission, will result in much greater traffic congestion on Mission, and will cause drivers to use nearby residential streets as thoroughfares,” Beckett said. “Considering the high volume of
pedestrians crossing Mission at PB Drive, placing a roundabout there is likely to result in gridlock during the summer and on sunny weekends all year-long. The planned elimination of 60 parking spaces will increase traffic and pollution in adjacent residential areas as more drivers circle around to find scarce parking,” Beckett said. “I am opposed to the vehicle roundabout at Mission Boulevard and PB Drive, or any roundabout on Mission Boulevard, because of the very high volume of pedestrians crossing Mission Boulevard going to and from the beach,” said Danoras, immediate past president of PB Town Council. “It will most certainly hold up traffic flow.
“I am also concerned about closing northbound lanes of traffic north of Grand where Fire Station 21 is. … ambulance and fire engines respond (daily) to emergency calls in North PB and South La Jolla where Mission Boulevard is their main road of travel north. It's crazy to take away a northbound lane of traffic for emergency vehicles,” said Danoras “I’m in favor of roundabouts in general but I’m concerned how the junction at Mission Boulevard and PB Drive will balance the high volume walk-bike-drive mix at that intersection,” said Gallagher. “Without adequate measures like welldesigned flashing crosswalks (or pedestrian/bike overpass) this could really tie up traffic and lead to an increase in road-rage incidents.” Added Gallagher: “The idea of trying to push so many pedestrians, so many bicyclists and so many cars into all sharing the same main thoroughfares doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, especially when the protective barriers for bicyclists are so often just street striping and/or flimsy pylons. Wouldn’t it make more sense to take bike paths off of major thoroughfares like Mission, Cass, Grand, Garnet, Ingraham and Fanuel, and place them on lesscrowded, quieter, calmer residential streets like Hornblend, Felspar, Bayard and Haines?” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

SEC >> CONT. FROM PG. 1
The SEC’s complaint, filed in federal district court in San Diego on Aug. 28, charges defendants with violating the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. Without admitting any violations of federal law, defendants have agreed to preliminary injunctions against violations of these provisions of the federal securities laws, asset freezes, and the appointment of a receiver over ANI and the relief defendant to marshal and preserve assets. The stipulated order is subject to court approval. The complaint seeks disgorgement of allegedly ill-gotten gains and prejudgment interest, monetary penalties, and permanent injunctions. “American National Investments, Inc. has been notified of a civil suit brought against the company and anticipate a receiver will be appointed,” according to a statement released by American National Investments. “While we can’t discuss details of the ongoing litigation matter, we will continue to cooperate with authorities throughout this process.

LOCAL MAN STARTS CLEAN-UP MOVEMENT
MAYORAL CANDIDATES TO DEBATE AT MBHS
Adam Huntington (right) is convinced it has become necessary for beach communities to take matters into their own hands in cleaning up and maintaining landscaped medians. A loan consultant, Huntington has become something of a beach clean-up crusader. He has begun rattling the cages of City Hall, and anyone else he can buttonhole, to see if there’s anything that can be done to streamline and improve maintaining landscaping in medians and other public spaces in Mission and Pacific beaches. Huntington is using all forms of social media to try and get his message across, posting videos on Facebook, titled “Fix The Beach: Part 2, and Instagram (@loans_and_drones). Huntington’s Facebook video shows him standing in a weed-infested median in the heart of Mission Beach in between Saska’s steakhouse and Gone Bananas boutique. “These took several years to grow,” notes Huntington in the video pointing out large, untended scraggly weeds. “Either somebody’s not reporting these weeds that need to be manicured, or somebody doesn’t care. It also tells me that somebody hasn’t cared — or done anything — in several years. This is ridiculous. “There’s no reason for this,” continues Huntington in the video referencing discarded cigarette butts littering the median he’s standing in. “We (San Diego) have $2.7 million for weed abatement.” An additional video on Instagram depicts time-lapse images of local residents sweeping sand off the boardwalk and Mission Bay path.
Pacific Beach Town Council is hosting a mayoral candidate forum on coastal issues for the beach and bay communities on Wednesday, Sept. 18 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Mission Bay High School Auditorium, 2475 Grand Ave. Participating organizations include Ocean Beach Town Council, Mission Beach Town Council, Point Loma Association, Clairemont Town Council, Pacific Beach Planning Group, Save San Diego Neighborhoods, Ocean Beach Planning Board, San Diego Lifeguards, Surfrider San Diego, San Diego Coastkeeper and SavePB. The campaign for the mayor's office kicked off in early January 2019, when San Diego City Council president pro tem Barbara Bry and California State Assemblymember Todd Gloria officially announced their candidacies. They were joined in the race later that month by community activist Tasha Williamson, who works with families who’ve lost members from police violence. Activist attorney Cory Briggs, displeased by Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s loosening of development restrictions, also announced his bid for mayor in January, but reconsidered dropping out by May. One of the early issues distinguishing the candidates was housing policy, with Bry favoring strong local control over land use, while Gloria prefers statewide efforts to increase housing supply. The non-partisan 2020 San Diego Mayoral primary election is March 3, with the general election on Nov. 3 to replace termed-out incumbent Mayor Kevin Faulconer.

Huntington has also extended this open-ended offer to the City: “Let me borrow a few weed-whackers from Rose Canyon and our neighborhood will do it (median cleaning) for you like we swept the boardwalk,” Huntington said, adding, “I’m happy to organize and help y’all, but we pay property taxes for this type of thing and we are not here to do your job ‘every’ weekend like this.” Concludes Huntington, “We want plans, schedules, and work completed properly in a timely manner. Anything less than this is not acceptable.”
VANDALISM AT BEACH FORCING CHANGES The lifeguard tower in Pacific Beach
may be having its flagpole removed due to continued vandalism allegedly committed by the homeless. The most-recent act involved tying trash cans to the halyard rope, which was raised up the flagpole. In the past few months, the halyard has been cut twice, and other trash tied to the rope. Worst of all, the American flag itself was pulled down from the flagpole on one occasion. “When we resort to taking down a flagpole and not flying the American flag at a government facility, we’re basically signaling that we’ve surrendered to the homeless and are allowing them to have free rein over an area that is for all to enjoy,” said a whistleblower requesting anonymity.

Long time Italian eatery Pernicano's to close BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS
I
f it were up to 92-year-old John Pernicano, he’d still be working seven days a week and performing until 2 a.m. But there was a problem. “The kids want to retire. They don’t want to work no more,” John said. “Well, that’s okay. I didn’t want to deprive anyone.” So, bowing to his children’s wishes at the generational North Pacific Beach family Italian pizzeria, the retail space at 711 Turquoise St. will now be leased out to a new restaurant. Pernicano’s will close for good Oct. 13. “All I know about him is his name, Sergio, and that he owns a couple of restaurants downtown,” said John of his successor. “He will strip down Pernicano’s and build a Mexican breakfast place that may serve some Italian food.” “How many people like me have been here 65 years, and the family with four kids for 50 years?” asked John of his family's legacy of restaurants, that once numbered 10. A military veteran, John immigrated from Sicily to the States with his family in 1906. John and his brothers moved to San Diego from Detroit in 1946. John and his late brother George began working for a Hillcrest bar. “They needed food, so my brother figured, ‘We’ll put pizza in the place, just a little oven.’” John and his 10 siblings all ended

up working there. “Four guys making pizzas, can you imagine?” John asked. “Then each brother got their own location and opened up their own place.” John said there was very little housing or other development in north PB/La Jolla post-World War II when he built Pernicano’s at 711 Turquoise St. Back then, All Hallows Catholic Church held their religious services for a time in Pernicano’s while the Mt. Soledad church was under construction. “The altar was where the pizza counter is now,” said John. What has been key to his success? “Being positive,” answered John. “And this is the best pizza you’ll get anywhere,” he said of his homegrown family pizza recipe, which early on served four people and cost $1.25.
Of the reason for his longevity, John replied: “This is a family restaurant. Everybody’s kids in La Jolla and PB were raised here.” A musician since a teen, John will truly miss playing piano/keyboards for the customers who graced his place. “Everybody’s been raised with me,” he said. “They’ve had their birthday parties here. I played Santa Claus. It was a tradition because I loved these kids. Little kids would play the piano with me and sing. That’s what’s kept me here 65 years.” A committed PB Kiwanian, John intends to continue his longtime community service work once retired. “You gotta be busy,” he counseled. Pernicano daughters Marlene and Debra agreed their customers is what they’ll miss most. “It’s like their second home,” said Debra. “Everybody loves the background music, it’s old school,” noted Marlene. “It’s bittersweet,” said Debra of Pernicano’s impending closing. “We’ve seen them (patrons) all grow up. But everything needs to be redone because it’s old, like us.” What are the Pernicano “kids” going to do now? “Enjoy life,” said Marlene. “It’s just been a wonderful life,” concluded John Pernicano who quipped, “I’ve partied every night.”

Be your best at Red Dragon Martial Arts in Pacific Beach BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS
T
ed Guerrero of Red Dragon Championship Martial Arts in Pacific Beach says what he’s training is a “way of life” as much as it is a sport or a discipline. “I look at this more as a life-skills academy than a martial arts facility,” said Guerrero of his new space at 1603 Garnet Ave. where Radio Shack once was. “It’s not just kicking and punching. There’s so much more that goes into it.” Red Dragon teaches all ages and both genders. “When you join up with us, you do programs,” said Guerrero. “We don’t do memberships. It’s not like a gym.” Who finds martial arts appealing? “All kinds of people, any walk of life,” answered Guerrero. “People do martial arts for their own reasons. Some come for fitness. Some want self-defense. I have an older gentleman who does it just because he wants to keep his body and mind active.” How Radio Shack morphed into Red Dragon is an interesting tale. “I moved here six years ago from Sacramento and was doing martial arts at PB Rec Center,” said Guerrero. “But I’d always had my eyes on this spot. It came up on the market out of nowhere and I said, ‘This would be a great spot for a fullblown academy. We’re still in the build-out phase.”

“There’s no one perfect studio for everybody,” said Guerrero of martial arts. “But there is a perfect studio or academy for everyone no matter your age or what you’re looking for in life. Martial arts is awesome. It is a way of life.” Guerrero talked about his programs. “We break our classes down by age starting at 18 months,” he said. “We use martial arts as the vehicle to help them learn important life skills so people become more outgoing, more confident, more respectful, more disciplined, more focused.” Red Dragon’s branding is inspira-
tional. Lots of enticements to “be the best,” “hustle” and “never quit.” “Martial arts makes you feel like you can,” said Guerrero explaining the sport’s allure. “You say, ‘I can’t throw people.’ But when you start doing those things, it makes it more likely in your life that you’ll go, ‘You know what, I can go for that job opportunity.’ ” Red Dragon currently has a getto-know-you promotional offer. “We’ve been doing a free selfdefense class on Wednesdays,” said Guerrero. “We’ll be doing that all the way through the rest of this month. Every time we teach some-

thing different. There’s no obligation and it’s totally free. I’ll probably do that every six months or so.” Concluded Guerrero of martial arts, “There’s no better feeling then feeling safe. No one should feel unsafe in their own neighborhood. That’s one of the reasons why I teach martial arts.”
riving up and down city streets, meticulously looking for a parking spot is a communitywide headache that most residents have come to know — and hate. But a new app, recently launched in San Diego, could potentially save you the Advil. Drivewayz is a free app that allows drivers to rent private parking spots for roughly $10 an hour. Customers also have the option to book a parking spot days in advance. The app was founded in Boulder, Colo. last year, and CEO Reese Barracks said he chose San Diego for the company's headquarters because it was “more open to new ideas.” The app is available nationwide. “The idea came to me when I was in school, and my friends and I were searching for a spot up and down a local street,” Barracks said. “There was a concert going on and it got pretty crowded. We would pass open driveway after open driveway, but all the street parking was taken.

¡Olé! Now Open Weekend Mornings for Breakfast!
SD TapRoom is this year’s Lord of the Wings champ SD TapRoom beat out eight other contestants in the third annual Lord of the Wings contest Saturday, Aug. 17 in Maverick’s Beach Club’s parking lot. The contest raises funds for Discover Pacific Beach, the community’s business improvement district. “We had about 300 people at the event,” said Sara Berns, DPB’s executive director. “I know they (SD TapRoom) are planning to do a promotion around the winning Truffalo Wings.” The TapRoom’s chicken wings are lightly fried and served with carrots and celery, after being tossed in spicy buffalo, hickory bbq, Buffalo bbq, or sesame teriyaki sauces with choice of blue cheese or ranch. “We are excited to have won. The community is very important to us and it is greatly appreciated,” said Kyle Conover of the TapRoom. “The secret to our wings is multi faceted: A unique cooking process involving baking and beer are all that we can say. We have perfected the process over the years through trial and error.” Added Conover, “Our winning sauce recipe is a garlic and truffleinfused buffalo sauce. It is some-
thing we have been working on for a while that sounds simple on paper, but has taken some trial and error to get it. We start with a very high-quality fresh wing, which is essential. If you don't start with a good wing, it doesn't matter what you do to it. Cheers.” Participating restaurants also included Pacific Beach Shore Club, Bub's at the Beach, Tavern at the Beach, Maverick’s Beach Club, Moonshine Beach, SandBox Pizza & Pints, The Local Pacific Beach and Duck Dive. The origin of deep-fried chicken wings goes back to 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. Anchor Bar co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends. They liked them so much, that the Bellissimos put them on the menu the next day. Served with celery slices and bleu cheese sauce, “Buffalo Wings” were an instant hit. Dick Winger, who sold hot sauce to Anchor Bar, went on the road with Dominic Bellissimo, the owners’ son, to promote the item and sell hot sauce. The item gradually caught on with restaurant operators around the country.

GIRL SCOUT PROMOTES WATER WISE LANDSCAPES When many San Diegans think about native plants, it can bring up images of dry landscapes or prickly cacti. However, truly native plants can create a colorful landscape for Pacific Beach residents year-round. This summer, at the Pacific Beach Taylor Library Community Room, Girl Scout Isabella Catanzaro held a workshop on how to create a beautiful landscape using only 30% of the water consumed by a typical lawn.
The afternoon included: how water use affects our natural environment, handson activities, an array of displays of local animals from the San Diego Natural History Museum, and experts in native plants. The water wise landscaping workshop was designed to illustrate the connection between personal outside water use and habitat preservation. The workshop was able to inform both children and adults about water-saving landscaping and how to landscape creatively with native plants.
