Alcohol-related crime experts counseled Pacific Beach residents to “move past their blame,” though there was enough to go around as frustrated citizens called for more action and less talk at Pacific Beach Town Council's June 15 monthly meeting. In a continuation of its

April meeting with the San Diego Police Department on PB crime trends, the conversation June 15 turned to the direct link between the saturation of alcohol licenses in the beach community and the high incidence of violent crimes: PB has the city's second-highest rate. SEE CRIME, Page 2

memories with them as they depart on their next journey.” Remillard thanked his staff personally for aiding him in helping “this terrific group of young men and women.” “Please remember: Always be respectful, and appreciate your life experiences,” Remillard said. At the start of the ceremony ASB and class president Victoria Grabowski told the crowd she hoped the ceremony “wouldn't be too long or boring,” then sat down. “I actually thought that speech was going to be a little longer,” responded Remillard. “We are one big, truly happy family,” said senior class vice-president Donald (Ozzie) Osborne. He concluded with a quote from NFL linebacker Ray Lewis who said, “Leave your mark to endure.” Co-valedictorians Hannah Bloom and Kyra Forsyth, as well as salutatorian Dan Tran, gave com-

mencement speeches. Bloom, the captain of the girls softball team who will be playing the sport in college, said the old adage that “the more things change, the more they stay the same,” doesn't apply to MBHS. “MBHS with its International Bacclaureate (IB) program and new sports complex is now the envy of all high schools in San Diego Unified School District,” said Bloom, citing all of her instructors for contributing to students' success noting, “They never get the credit they truly deserve.” Forsyth spoke about 10 “lessons” she'd learned at MBHS. Her list included being honest, having a positive attitude, trying not to procrastinate, not being afraid to ask for help and learning to prioritize. “No matter what you do, be you,” advised Forsyth, adding, “Don't listen to what other people tell you about you, because they aren't – and never will be – you.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

News PB planners discuss De Anza project, crime rates By DAVE SCHWAB In June, Pacific Beach Planning Group heard a proposal to include beach volleyball courts in the De Anza Revitalization Plan, as well as community concerns about the link between over saturation of alcohol licenses and crime. Chris Olson, PBPG's representative on the De Anza Special Study Area, noted the De Anza project team, including city reps and consultants, will be at the group’s Aug. 24 meeting. He added they will present on the De Anza Revitalization Plan, a reimagining of what Mission Bay Park's approximately 4,000 acres of beaches, parklands, SeaWorld and more could become. “We have to consider current – and planned – uses and future needs, not only in that area, but around Mission Bay and throughout the region,” Olson said. The goal of revitalizing De Anza is to “enhance public use and diversify recreation, both on land and in water,” Olson said. Olson then introduced former beach volleyball pro and teacher Jeff Smith, who pitched the group on the possibility of using two of De

It made for a volatile discussion. “When the politicians feel the heat – they see the light,” quipped community activist Lou Cummings, who exhorted the community to “not just sit here and moan,” but to go down to City Council and tell them its continued inaction on alcohol-related crime is no longer an option. “No one's responded when we've brought up the increasing crime rate in our business district,” said Brian Curry, Pacific Beach Planning Group chair, citing Discover PB Business Improvement District, and the majority of the City Council outside of District 2 Councilwoman Lorie Zapf, as cases in point. Curry said there “has to be a change in the community's mind

Anza Regional park's acres to create new volleyball courts. Smith, who's been involved in beach volleyball in PB since 1997, said the sport is “exploding.” “I started out with 10 girls, and now I have 200,” said the volleyball instructor. However, Smith noted, there's a problem. “We need two acres for 18 courts, because there is no parking – or room – for students competing with adults for extremely limited existing beach volleyball space,” he said. Thus far, Smith complained that the broad-based stakeholder committee of user groups reconsidering De Anza Park's uses has been unresponsive to his suggestion to add new beach volleyball court space. Discussion then turned to the wisdom of maintaining the status quo of Mission Bay Golf Course, the only night-lit, city-owned Golf Course which Olson noted is losing $600,000 annually. Olson added there are three options with the golf course: leave it as is, modify it by cutting it from 18 to nine holes or making it just a driving range, or eliminating it entirely. Arguing golf's popularity peaked 10 years ago and has been shrink-

ing locally and nationally ever since, PBPG chair Brian Curry said, “We need to think 10, 20 years ahead. This is a huge subsidy for golfers. Is it worth losing $600,000 a year for a green belt just so it looks nice?” PBPG planner Henish Pulickal suggested the golf course restaurant, which has been closed, ought to be reactivated “because there's such a big demand for it.” Colleague Eve Anderson agreed, noting the golf course's restaurant had fared better previously under private ownership. Referencing Pacific Beach Town Council's (PBTC's) June 15 meeting, during which it was announced that PB once again has the city's second-highest violent crime rate behind East Village, Curry noted “we have to do something.” Curry pointed out the T-shaped pattern of alcohol-related crimes is along the intersection of Mission Beach Boulevard and Garnet Avenue. Boardmember Tony Franco noted part of the alcohol problem stems from PB bars being widely spread out, instead of being concentrated in a more compact area.

set” to pressure local politicians to do what's necessary to curb alcoholrelated crime. Responding to Curry, Sara Berns, Discover PB's executive director, said the BID's “been working for a very long time on all these things.” Noting “there's a lot more to this conversation,” Berns added finger pointing and accusations aimed at the business community serves only to “stop the conversation.” “We have to get the political will,” noted PB planner and activist Scott Chipman. “We will not stand anymore for being the second-highest crime community with double the rates in the region.” For years, PB community planners have advocated greater local control over the issuance – and enforcement – of alcohol licenses as one way to stem growing crime problems related to alcohol abuse.

Guest speakers were Rob Hall, media specialist of San Diego Advocates for Youth, and Eric Collins, director of the Alcohol Policy Panel of San Diego County. Hall gave a slideshow with charts using SDPD-reported crime statistics that showed PB ranked second out of 10 communities in the city with the highest violent crime rates between 2008-2015. During that interval, East Village had the most reported crimes, 1,883, with PB close behind at 1,792. By contrast, during the same time period, the Gaslamp Quarter had 960 reported violent crimes and Ocean Beach had 911. The citywide average was 355. Hall concluded it was a mistake to blame police for PB's crime problem noting officers are enforcers not legislators crafting laws to solve problems.

New kids gym offers parkour, gymnastics By ANNA JENSEN

G3KIDS

Have you ever needed a place for your children to exhaust their energy during your busy week? G3Kids is a brand new children’s athletic facility at 929 Garnet Ave. in Pacific Beach combining gymnastics and educational programs aiming to build foundations for successful lives. The gym provides classes, camps, parties, open gym, extended hours and parents night off. G3Kids officially opened June 13 by Paul and Nicole Britvar who are soon to be parents of three under 3. They both share equal passions for sports and firmly believe that helping children live active and healthy lives will teach kids how to be more focused and to find confidence in themselves. Nicole and Paul were both Olympic hopefuls and for many

years trained to chase their dreams. After their careers in gymnastics and alpine ski racing, they went on to each compete in NCAA D-1 levels. While Nicole and Paul both have competed at high levels in sports, the purpose of G3 is to have a recreational alternative where everyone's a winner and the sky's the limit. G3Kids simply encourages kids to be good people and to push their own comfort zones. G3 is a place for children to come together to enjoy educational programs that utilize the gym as a physical outlet to creatively enhance their futures. The underlying goal of the pro-

gram is to encourage children to discover something that they can feel confident for by exposing them to a wide range of activities – from parkour Ninja and gymnastics classes to rock climbing. From confidence grows passion, which is part of the G3 mission of leading kids to enjoy passionate lives for anything they do. For busy parents who are looking for a quick place to drop the kids while doing errands there's extended hours ($150 per week), open gym time ($35 per drop in, $89 per month), and even parents night off ($50 per night or $99 per month). For those who want to take gymnastics classes there’s a range of classes for boys and girls of all ages, from traditional gymnastics to parkour ($110 per 60 minute class).

Eco-friendly footwear, beachwear at Randall's Sandals By DAVE SCHWAB

RANDALL’S SANDALS

Freshly-minted entrepreneur Randall Engstrom has opened a new ecofriendly business, Randall's Sandals, in north Pacific Beach. Engstrom has lived and worked in PB for 11 years at the WaveHouse and other local institutions. Feeling it was important to provide people “the chance to consume products that do not negatively affect the world we live in,” he's entered the beach retail market. He held a ribbon cutting for his new shop on June 1. Engstrom characterizes his inventory as eco-friendly/charitable beach foot fashion. “I've always had a business mind, a creative mind,” he noted, adding “I began to see a bigger need out there, a need for resale to go more charitable. It's all about giving back and making the world a better place.” Engstrom said Randall’s Sandals is “the first brick-and-mortar store whose entire platform is based around helping the environment and giving to charities, locally and globally.” Sandal and apparel lines presently

carried at Randall's include Nomadic state of mind, SoleRebels, Sseko, Blenders, Sebago/catepillar, Team Phun, Native, Scott Hawaii, Freewaters, Rainbow, Seedless, Polynesian Underground and Olu’Kai, with more to come. Engstrom noted Randall’s will offer the community the chance to donate and recycle old shoes and sandals, while getting discounted prices on his available stock. He's even envisioning actually making “beach calls” to retrieve worn or damaged sandals and replace them with his discounted recycled footwear. “My goal is to have my guests repeatedly return to my brick-andmortar location and to keep my concept fresh, exciting and always on the cutting edge,” he said. Sara Berns, executive director of Discover PB, the beach community's

Business Improvement District (BID), was on hand for Randall's Sandals ribbon-cutting ceremony. Berns praised Randall's for the company's civic mindedness, noting “We like to see any resale, any small retail.” Discussing North PB, Berns said the neighborhood is less touristy and “definitely more local here than it is down on Garnet.” Asked if more PB businesses are becoming eco-friendly like Randall's, Berns replied,“We've definitely seen a trend in that direction. More and more, certain types of businesses are selling products that are recyclable or biodegradable, like composting. We're trying to be an eco-district community.” In 2014, PB opted to turn the community into an eco-district. An ecodistrict is a long-range plan that incorporates methods aimed at making the area more environmentally sustainable and economically viable. Engstrom said he intends to “just keep moving forward one step at time. It's not about me. It's about the community.”

Café 976 closes, will reopen under new management By DAVE SCHWAB Café 976, one of Pacific Beach's more prominent and iconic businesses, which closed June 20 after more than 20 years of service, is being restored with plans to reopen soon. “The café is being renovated, repainted and upgraded, with new fixtures and appliances. The plan is to re-open by the end of July with the same format, under new management,” said Paul (Douglas) Ross, on behalf of the new management. Ross said Café 976 Felspar will have the same menu, and most of the same staff. “Be patient, and this PB favorite garden café will be open again soon,” he said. Commercial PB Realtor Tony Franco said Cass Street Real Estate

Holdings LLC, led by local developer Michael Turk, on May 29, 2015, purchased 4612-20 Cass St. for $2.5 million in cash. “The selling CAP Rate was 5.5 percent,” Franco said. “The property was previously owned by the American Diabetes Association and includes both Cafe 976 and the Cass Street Bar & Grille.” Many are familiar with the property's most recent incarnation as an artisanal bistro with surrounding rose-filled patio. But some aren't aware the site was previously a gardening business named Too Pooped to Plant. Or that it was once the residence of Earl and Birdie Taylor, for whom Pacific Beach's library nearby is named. The coffee house and breakfast destination opened in 1993.

Big O Tires From humble beginnings, an industry leader is born. The Big O Tires story begins back in 1962, just as America's new love affair with the automobile was hitting high gear. The market for replacement tires was exploding, and independent tire dealers found themselves struggling to compete in the face of low prices offered by major tire manufacturers' own company stores. Big O's founding fathers were a handful of progressive independent tire dealers who decided to band together to form a tire-buying cooperative so that they could secure volume pricing and keep their customers happy. Their concept worked. In the years that followed, The Big O Tires co-op evolved into a fullfledged franchise as it continued to find innovative ways to harness the power of the collective to benefit independent dealerships and their customers. Almost a half-decade later, Big O Tires has become North America's largest retail tire franchisor, with over 400 independently-owned and operated locations in 19 states. As Big O Tires continues to thrive and adapt to an everchanging marketplace, it remains rooted in its humble beginnings as a proud collective of independent dealers committed to putting its customers first.

Hepatitis C (Hep C) is the most common form of hepatitis in the US. The most common reason for Hep C infection is from receiving a contaminated blood transfusion. Before 1992, there was inadequate testing for Hep C. Improved testing after 1992 eliminated this risk. There are other reasons for Hep C, such as unsafe

sexual practices and IV drug use. Since 2012, the CDC has recommended testing for the Hepatitis C virus for persons born between 1945 and 1965. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver, and it impairs the ability of the liver to carry out its normal functions. If it becomes chronic, it can lead to cirrhosis.

Cream In 2010, Jimmy and Gus led the Shamieh family in opening the first Cream location in Berkeley. It was a throwback to their childhood,

when it became a “thing” for them to sandwich rich ice cream between mom’s fresh-baked cookies making one-of-a-kind cookie ice cream sandwiches. They wanted to share these secret creations with the entirety of humanity (or at least Berkeley). They made four promises. The first was to provide premium products made from their own proprietary recipes with superior ingredients. Next, keep costs low so that happiness remains affordable for all. They also wanted to delight each customer by showing you the same love you’d show your own BFF. And, of course, a fun and relaxed atmosphere where an impromptu karaoke song and dance session could break out at any moment! One taste of Cream’s incredible ice cream sandwiches prepared to perfection, and you’ll be at a loss for words. Which is fine, because it’s rude to speak with your mouth full. Even if it’s filled with the most delicious ice cream sandwich you’ll ever have.

Cabo Cantina has become a staple as the place to go for a frothy Mega Margarita on a sunny afternoon, an ice-cold cerveza after work, or perfectly chilled tequila shots before a big night out on the town. They also serve tasty Mexican favorites, such as sizzling fajita platter, nachos with all the fixings, grandé burritos, street tacos and more. They take pride in the fact that every delicious menu item and specialty drink is priced with value in mind. Cabo Cantina is the ultimate sports event and pay-per-view fight destination, with up to 50 extra large HD flat screens scattered throughout each location and drink specials all night long. The only thing you will need is a reason to celebrate…so skip your siesta and join the fiesta at Cabo Cantina. Cabo Cantina 1050 Garnet Ave. 858-270-0805

Avenue

Good drinks, good music, good times, period. Garnet just grew up. At Avenue, every stranger is treated like family, and visitors feel at home. It wouldn’t be a stretch to Cabo Cantina say that those who know Avenue, Good drinks, good food and good love it. Their enticing array of prices in a fun, casual atmosphere mixologist-created craft cocktails, filled with upbeat party hits and fresh squeezed juices and custom classic rock booming from the juke- flavors set them one big sip above box. Their famous 2-for-1 priced the competition. There are a lot of happy hour lasts from 4 to 8 p.m., so-called “bars” in PB, but there is seven days a week, and have a 2for-1 late night happy hour as well.

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN STAGECOACH DAYS: CELEBRATING THE WILD WEST IN SAN DIEGO --Free Events Every Saturday in July and August in Old Town --

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Old Town San Diego State Historic Park is celebrating travel and transportation from the era of real horsepower during “Stagecoach Days,” kicking off on July 9. Come join in old fashioned fun of the mid-1800s from noon to 4:00pm on eight Saturdays in July and August. Sponsored by Fiesta de Reyes, County of San Diego, and the Boosters of Old Town, these free events feature a different theme each Saturday such as: Days of the Vaqueros, Women of the West, Soldiers and Citizens, TwainFest and Taste of the Past. Attendees will enjoy afternoons filled with activities that reflect life in early San Diego and celebrate the West on the move. Through living history activities and demonstrations, stories and songs, visitors will gain an appreciation for early modes of transportation and daily life. All activities are geared toward children and adults of all ages.

“This year’s Stagecoach Days will be the best in our park’s history,” stated Event Coordinator Gregg Giacopuzzi. “We have added many more family friendly activities to the event this year so visitors will get a true taste of what Old Town was like in the 1800s.” The Stagecoach Days schedule is as follows: July 9 — “Games and Amusements” — Try your hand at 19th century games and amusements - long before smart phones and tablets. July 16 — “Women of the West” — Women played an important part in the development of the West. Some of their daily activities will be demonstrated on this Saturday. One of the highlights of the day will be a quilt walk throughout the park, featuring antique quilts. July 23 — “Soldiers and Citizens” — The military has been part of San Diego since its

inception. Following the Mexican American War, Dragoons, the Mormon Battalion and the Boundary Commission all had an impact on life in San Diego. See historic uniforms, weapons, and hear their stories. July 30 — “Taste of the Past” — What we eat, how we acquire it, who prepares it, how it is prepared are part of our cultural make up. This day will explore what was part of the dining experiences for people in early San Diego. While you learn about the foods of the past you will be able to try modern tastes that evoke that time, provided by the food purveyors in the park. August 6 — “Trades That Shaped Westward Expansion” — As towns developed in the West so did the need for specialized trades and artisans. Old Town San Diego will present pivotal 19th century trades that helped shape the community of San Diego. August 13 — “Days of the Vaquero” —

Vaqueros were the first cowboys in California. They were highly skilled horsemen and cattle herders who were an integral part of the early cattle trade in California. The day will celebrate their horsemanship techniques and other aspects of Californio culture. Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, with the support of the Boosters of Old Town, County of San Diego, and donations from Fiesta de Reyes, is proud to offer these free activities for adults and children of all ages. The park is located on San Diego Avenue and Twiggs Street in San Diego, and is conveniently located next to the Old Town Transit Center, with Coaster, Trolley, and MTS bus service. Free parking is available at the CalTrans headquarters, just two blocks from the park at 4050 Taylor St. For more information, go to www.parks.ca.gov/oldtownsandiego or call 619-220-5422

Weird, wild Over-The-Line tourney parties on

A team warms up before competing in the tournament.

By DAVE SCHWAB

OVER-THE-LINE TOURNAMENT

Sun and offbeat fun are the orders of the day at the 63rd annual World Championship Over-The-Line Tournament sponsored by the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club at Fiesta Island. The tournament offering food, fun, sports and entertainment begins Saturday and Sunday, July 9 and 10, and concludes the following weekend, July 16 and 17. Hours both weekends are 7:30 a.m. to dusk. This election year has something special at the Fiesta Island OTL tourney. “One of the teams playing is a group of city councilmen – Chris

Cate, Scott Sherman and Mark Kersey – said OMBAC spokesman Sonny Petersen. “We also have a team with a bunch of guys from the Louisville bat corporation.” Petersen reminded OTL guests that dogs and other animals are not allowed. “It's the no B's rule,” Petersen said. “No bottles, bikes, babies or bowsers.” Team attendance is down a little this year, 1,150, from last year's total of 1,250 teams. “We had an infusion of rain last year,” Pertersen noted. “That could be the reason.” San Diego’s homegrown and bred sport, OTL is a modified form of beach baseball/softball. Games last three innings, there is no base-running and the primary objective is to hit the ball "over the line," approximately 55 feet in front of the batter. OTL team names are traditionally creative and good-natured, but can sometimes be quite colorful (frequently off-color), while often pertaining to current events. Players

launched from barges around north San Diego Bay. The largest fireworks display in the county can be seen from various locations on the bay, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, Embarcadero and even down at Seaport Village. At 9:30 p.m. SeaWorld starts their Sea to Shining Sea Fourth of July Fireworks Show. The SeaWorld show and the Big Bay Boom can be seen from a variety of spots around the beach and bay. In Ocean Beach, at 9 p.m., fireworks will be launched off of the pier. Grab a blanket, find a spot and watch from the shore. As usual, picnics and beach days are always a good choice in San Diego and would be smart for Sunday in order to stakeout a spot for the fireworks displays. On the water, the Maritime Museum is offering dinner and fireworks on the bay this year. The observation deck from the historic Berkeley ferry provides a fantastic view of the Big Bay Boom fireworks show. Dinner will be provided and children are welcome. The Maritime Museum is also offering a separate experience aboard the Californian for those looking to get closer to the show. Tickets to both events include admission to the museum and exhibits. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.sdmaritime.org.

consist of men and women with ages ranging from 18 to 80. Petersen talked about OTL’s origin. “The way it got started was, way back when, some of the boys were waiting for a volleyball court,” Petersen said. “There were like six of them, not enough to field a regular baseball game, so they made up these (OTL) rules and played, and it caught on and they’ve played ever since.” This year’s double-elimination tournament features three-person teams from around the world competing for that championship ring, which is awarded to all 10 divisions (men and women, by age). Participant teams have come from as far away as Germany, Japan and Iceland to compete. Reserved parking is still available for both weekends of OTL although supply is limited. The “OMLot” is located within a short walking distance of the playing courts. OMBAC also provides complimentary bus transportation (dubbed the "OmShuttle”) to and from the island during the first three days of OTL. They will run from Fiesta Island to the Sun Runner lot on SeaWorld Drive and from Fiesta Island to the Linda Vista trolley station. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

For a beautiful sunset and a panoramic view of most of the fireworks shows, Mount Soledad is a great option. Be sure to head up there early to find parking. Phantom fireworks would like to remind anyone using consumer fireworks that the explosions can scare both pets and veterans and to be aware and considerate.

Beach & bikinis Throughout the holiday weekend there is plenty to do on and around the beach. At Miller’s Field in Pacific Beach there will be the first Queen of the Beach bikini contest. Miller’s Field is not known for traditional bar events so the bikini contest on July 3 starting at noon is sure to be fun. The winner will receive $500 cash and a beach cruiser. The secondand third-place finishers will also receive prizes. Email jon@millersfield.com to enter. The Local Pacific Beach, 809 Thomas Ave., is holding a lumpia eating contest 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 2. How fast can you eat 50 hand-rolled lumpia and chug a pint of Dos Equis lager beer? To register, visit thelocalpb.com. At SeaWorld, the park will have extended hours throughout the holiday weekend as part of the Summer Nights event. Visitors who spend the Fourth at the park are able to stick around for the fireworks show that night. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com
