After 38 years, Great News closing its doors Pacific Beach business’ last day is July 31 By KEITH ANTIGIOVANNI There is bad news for generations of Pacific Beach residents and longtime customers as Great News (1788 Garnet Ave.) will be closing its doors for good at the end of July – 38 years after it opened for business at Pacific Plaza. The cooking school officially closed on June 30. “There were rumors that I lost my lease here but none of that is true. My landlords at Pacific Plaza have been great all of these years. I’ve decid-

Mom was right: it’s beautiful, get outside and play Plenty of options at area parks, beaches and bays By THOMAS MELVILLE Snow. There are still mountains of dirty, dark snow melting in abandoned lots outside of Boston. Still melting. Snow. In July. In February as the Northeast and Midwest were going through an epic snow-covered winter, San Diego was having a hot spell. “Hey, it's wicked cold here, what's the weather there?” asked your friend living in the Northeast.

“It's 75 and sunny,” you replied. “It's always 75 and sunny.” It makes a perfect mantra as you meditate after your morning yoga session overlooking Crystal Pier from Palisades Park: “75 and sunny, om, 75 and sunny, om, 75 and sunny, ommm.” However you got here – born into it, emigrated or immigrated – its a powerful place on the senses.

Cleansing communities of graffiti is a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. In Mission and Pacific beaches for the last 24 years, that “somebody” has been retired school principal Maruta Gardner. Working in conjunction with the Mission Beach Town Council and the San Diego Police Department, Gardner, on her tricycle with all her tools in tow, has been a one-woman graffiti “eradicator.” “It has become my community service project,” said Gardner, who was principal at Mission Bay High School from 1990-95.
Maruta Gardner
Gardner added the best thing you can do with graffiti is “to cover it up right away because, if you don’t — it grows.” Gardner regularly patrols the beachfront, especially the boardwalk, looking to paint out any graffiti “tags” she comes across. She takes pictures and documents every tag she finds, sending them to the police who track SEE GRAFFITI, Page 13

‘California Dreaming’ at Bahia joins the party Sunset luaus at Catamaran Resort still going strong By DAVE SCHWAB For years, the Catamaran Resort Hotel in Pacific Beach has been knocking guests’ socks off with their summer sunset luaus. Now the Catamaran’s sister property, the Bahia Resort Hotel in Mission Beach, has joined the party with its own production titled “California Dreaming: San Diego’s Beach Party of the Decades.” For the 15th straight year, the Catamaran at 3999 Mission Blvd. is hosting its traditional luau on Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m. between June 26 and Sept. 4. California Dreaming debuted this year at the Bahia Resort at 998 W. Mission Bay Drive on Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. and will continue through Sept. 3. Both events afford locals and visitors an opportunity to attend and
Inaugural Cabrillo Sunset 5K on July 25 Cabrillo National Monument Foundation will hold its first-ever Cabrillo Sunset 5K run-walk from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, July 25 at the national park at 1800 Cabrillo Memorial Drive. The Cabrillo race route is challenging, descending on a paved road downhill about 200 feet to the tide pools offering a pristine ocean view for runners/walkers. The race then continues back up a steep incline. There will also be an alternative fun run/walk up to the lighthouse. Both events qualify for event T-shirts and medals. “It’s a day completely dedicated to health and getting out in the outdoors and experiencing our parks,” said Eileen Martinez, Cabrillo spokesperson. The Cabrillo Sunset 5K is part of the National Park Service’s (NPS’s) centennial “Find Your Park Move to Improve Challenge.” With its centennial approaching in 2016, the “Challenge” is part of NPS’s recently launched campaign to raise support and introduce a new, morediverse generation of millennials and children to "America's best idea," the national parks. Runners in the Cabrillo Sunset 5K will compete for first-place awards in both the men’s and women’s division, which guarantees them free admission into the America’s Finest City Half Marathon in August. All participants will receive a numbered bib, an event T-shirt and an inaugural commemorative medal. After the race, participants can chill, relaxing and enjoying a DJ and music and dance. This will truly be a “park after dark” experience as the event is being held on the night of a full moon. First lady Michelle Obama and former first lady Laura Bush are co-chairing the Challenge campaign, which calls on Americans to "Find Your Park" to enjoy their public lands. Sustaining the national parks and keeping them relevant to visitors for another 50 or 100 years is a growing challenge. For registration information, visit www.active.com.

enjoy two very different — but equally entertaining — themed events on San Diego’s Mission Bay. For those looking to build their Southern California “cred,” Bahia’s Beach Party features local classics band The Fabulous Mar Dels. The band takes guests on a musical jour-
ney celebrating California’s beach culture, summer and fun from the early California surf sound pioneered during the '60s by the Beach Boys in songs like “Surfing USA” to Katy Perry’s “California Girls.” As the sun sets over the Pacific, guests will be cued by Chubby Checker’s classic “Limbo Rock” to join the limbo line. For those feeling competitive, a hula-hoop contest will be the perfect opportunity to display their skills and win a prize. Attendees will be greeted with a cocktail to start the festivities, before they make their way to the summer buffet, complete with barbeque grill station and that classic staple of beach parties: the clambake. Picnic tables on the sand along the hotel’s private beach on Mission Bay will give the party that element of authenticity. A cash bar stocked with local craft beer and cocktails will also be available. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

PB AleHouse reopens five months after kitchen fire By DAVE SCHWAB aPacific Beach AleHouse, closed since mid-February when a kitchen grease fire caused an estimated $1 million in damage, had a soft reopening July 10. “Right now we’re up and running with the same, limited lunch/dinner menu all day,” said Johnny Leal, general manager of PB AleHouse at 721 Grand Ave. Leal noted there will continue to be one all-purpose menu while the eatery is “working all the kinks out” with its newly remodeled space after being closed for nearly five months. Hours for the newly reopened restaurant are 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week. Once things are back to normal, Leal said the restaurant will be open two hours earlier, at 9 a.m., to facilitate peak-season summertime beach crowds. PB AleHouse is also working through some problems with its electrical to get all of its TV sets running.
‘It’s good to be open and back home again.’ JOHNNY LEAL GM OF PB ALEHOUSE
The really good news however, said Lael, is that the majority of its staff are returning. “We’ve brought back at least 80 percent of the staff,” he said noting many of them found temporary employment elsewhere during the layoff for remodeling at other restaurants in the OMG Hospitality Group chain, which owns PB AleHouse as well as Backyard Kitchen and Tap in PB, and Union Kitchen and Tap with locations in Encinitas and the Gaslamp Quarter. The February fire was restricted mostly to the kitchen, but Lael said there was “considerable smoke damage through a lot of the downstairs.” But that wasn’t entirely a bad thing, he added. “The hardest part was dealing

with all the insurance companies,” Lael said, noting the remodel forced them to “consider some alternatives, make some changes and get a little more current.” Lael added that repairing smoke damage is a “meticulous” process. “You pretty much have to replace all your materials, like wood, if you can’t get them clean,” he said.
Heavy smoke was billowing from PB Alehouse’s second story about 3:15 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 16. Firefighters coming from the fire station directly across the street from the Alehouse extinguished most of the blaze in about 25 minutes. San Diego Fire-Rescue (SDFR) said about 120 people were inside when the fire broke out, and management

evacuated the packed building. The fire started in the kitchen and traveled up a stove vent into the attic, SDFR spokesman Lee Swanson said. “It’s good to be open and back home again,” concluded Leal. For more information, visit www.pbalehouse.com or call (858) 581-2337.

Take ‘N’ Charge features strategically placed kiosks where mobile device users can rent a pre-charged power bank for smartphones and tablets. Used chargers can then be returned to any location. Take ‘N’ Charge has already been rolled out in select locations throughout San Diego. In fact, some of the mobile kiosks are being placed at select restaurants in Pacific Beach. “Mesa has been a great place to learn the fundamentals of business,” said Aloe, who cited Mesa College assistant business professor Howard Eskew as an integral part of Take ‘N’ Charge development. “Celine and I learned the importance of financial budgeting and preparing for the future in professor Eskew’s financial accounting class.” Eskew encouraged his students to enter the competition. Among those that did, the “Take ‘N’ Charge” proposal rose to the top and made the final cut. “Ty and Celine’s efforts are a great testimony to the potential, talent and power that our students have to create, develop and impact our community,” remarked Eskew, who accompanied Aloe and Ahearn to the final round. “Their hard work and the dedication and diligence shown by the faculty, administration and staff at Mesa allows our students to continue to make positive contributions to Mesa and the San Diego community at large,” he said.

All the freedom of owning a boat, but without the hassle By DAVE SCHWAB An entrepreneur has started a boat club for locals that’s being billed as “all the joys of boating with none of the hassles.” Florida transplant Dan Hasbrouck opened Freedom Boat Club at 2630 Ingraham St. in Dana Landing in August 2014. “An alternative to boat ownership is our slogan,” said Hasbrouck, a former helicopter pilot who grew up around boats. Hasbrouck explained his business model. “It’s like a gym membership with a one-time entry fee and flat monthly dues,” he said. “We take care of the insurance, maintenance, dock fees, cleaning, training — everything. All you have to do is show up, go boating, have a good time, come back and drop the keys off.” Freedom’s monthly boat charge is $325 for a craft valued at about $55,000 to $60,000. After a year in business, Freedom has nearly 50 members signed up for its current inventory of five boats, some for fishing, some for pleasure and a pontoon boat for kids with a water slide. Hasbrouck intends to expand and grow the business. But he will not deviate from having a 10-to-1, customerto-boat ratio. Hasbrouck said Freedom’s business model is especially appealing to two types of potential clients:
GREAT >> CONT. FROM PG. 1
Great News officially opened on July 15, 1977. At that time Pete Wilson was serving his second term as San Diego’s mayor, the city’s population was still less than one million and Elvis Presley was still alive.

young professionals seeking to try out boating before they go all in on purchasing one, and long-time boaters who want to continue, but without all the hassles — and costs — involved in maintaining their own vessel. “Eighty-five to 90 percent of our clients are ex-boaters,” Hasbrouck said. “They’re novices, mostly young professionals, who don’t really know if they want a boat. Or they’re ex-boaters who know about all the costs associated with boat ownership, so this (monthly rental) is a no-brainer for them.” Freedom Boat Club also has an online reservation system. “It’s a real easy, no-hassle way to reserve a boat,” said Hasbrouck noting every member is entitled to four “rolling” reservations. “Every membership can reserve four days up to six months in advance, a maximum of four at a time,” he said. “Once they make a reservation and use that reservation, they get it back, so it’s rolling. You have unlimited reservations, but you can only have four at a time. What that does is it keeps the boat

hog away from taking every Saturday morning.” There is also same-day boat usage available. Freedom is also very liberal concerning where members are allowed to take their boats. Hasbrouck said anywhere in Mission and San Diego bays is fair game. “They can go from the shoreline off into the ocean 50 miles,” he said. “They can go down to the Coronado Islands in Mexico to fish, but no further south. They’re allowed to go as far north as they would like to go.” Members pay for gas, which is about the same price as car gas. Hasbrouck said boat sharing in a club essentially gives members the freedom of boat usage without all the attendant responsibilities that go along with owning one. Also, when members go on vacation elsewhere, they can use boats of other Freedom franchises, of which there are 88 nationwide. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com
ing school, Great News earned the San Diego A-List award for “Best Housewares” eight straight years starting in 2007 through last year in 2014. “When we opened in 1977 I was just a kid,” Eisenberg said. “38 years in Pacific Beach have been good for everyone.” From now until the last day the store will be open (July 31) all items will be on sale.

North PB Sip 'N Stroll, being held for the third time 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, July 26, gets bigger and better – and more representative – of the neighborhood each year. The aim of this third installment of the hyper-local Pacific Beach street fair continues to be to promote and uncover local businesses in North Pacific Beach. “We’re getting more and more of the local businesses involved, rather than outside-type vendors,” said event originator Mike Spangler, of Spangler Event Productions. “We’ve got probably close to 40 businesses and nonprofits lined up, all based in PB. To me, that is amazing.” Spangler added the event this year is becoming even more commu-

and SD Bike Coalition to install a temporary bike corral adjacent to the event where they can safely lock up their bikes and receive lots of bike info from bicycling organizations. New this year, Spangler said, is that the event has teamed up with Pacific Beach Town Council to program the community and kids corner located in the parking lot of Tula Ru. “We are giving free space to local non-profits such as Beautiful PB, SavePB, PB Planning Group, PB Library, The Gateway Project and a few others so they can interact with the community,” said Spangler. “There is a huge disconnect between these organizations and the younger families in the neighborhood, and what a better way to engage than through the kids. I am personally collecting reclaimed wood from the neighborhood and cutting out fish so the kids can paint them and take them home,” he said. The new Creative Kids Early Learning Studio on Turquoise Street will also be providing some unique learning activities. One goal of the Sip ’N’ Stroll is to distinguish North PB from the rest of the community by establishing its unique identity. North PB is loosely defined as the section of the beach community north of the Grand and Garnet avenues commercial district, bounded by Felspar Street on the south, Turquoise Street on the north, Mission Boulevard on the west and Ingraham Street on the east. Most importantly, Spangler noted the annual street fair’s objective is to “celebrate the residents and all the small-businesses in the neighborhood that people don’t really know about. The point is to uncover them so people know they don’t have to leave PB, they can shop here, get their taxes done, et cetera.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

He released two albums on the same date late last year, both quite good. But bands like James need to be heard live, where the interplay of the musicians and the response of the audience combine to make a unique experience.

A board story Here at Bird's Surf Shed I am surrounded by a little over 1,000 surfboards. All of them have their stories to tell and I'm positive that after I close up every night they all get together and share them. Although I have not ridden them all (and probably never will) every once in awhile a certain board will call out to me. Such was the case last Thursday afternoon. In case you haven't noticed, the surf so far this summer has been poor. When it picked up a bit last week, the crowds were out in force and my paddle strength was poor from weeks of not surfing. I surfed a La Jolla reef break that was picking this new swell up nicely. It was slim pickings and at the end of a three-hour go out, my wave count was at a measly three. Knowing that the next day was going to be larger and likely more crowded, my thoughts turned to getting off of my six-footer and riding a longer board. Feeling a bit nostalgic after having watched Richard Kenvin ripping it up on a '70s era Caster single fin that day, I decided to dig deeper into the board stash for something that would possibly give me that same feel. I didn't have to look too far before I found just what I thought I was looking for. Out came the 7-foot-2 swallow tail Brewer Chapman model. Dick Brewer is a legendary shaper credited with many surfboard design improvements over the past 50 years and Owl Chapman has been one of the best of many younger shapers who have worked with Brewer over these years. I'd had this board for a few years and from the first day that I touched it a bond had been formed. I knew that this one would find its way under my feet some day; it was just a matter of time. I gave the board a solid inspection and cleaning before waxing it up. It definitely showed some wear and tear, so some of Joe Roper’s amazing ding tape was carefully applied to some open wounds.

Life here was not meant to be indoors. The scenery, the weather, the people – San Diego is all about being out and about with bikes, boats and bikinis. “When I got here I could not believe places like this existed,” said Helen Gerasimchuk, “where you could live outside all the time.” Gerasimchuk, a recent transplant from the Northeast who moved here three months ago, visited San Diego in March and then promptly picked up and moved. “I went back to Boston and packed my things,” she said. “I was living the office life – in a cubicle – and I could not handle it.” Gerasimchuk, who is certified as a group fitness instructor, now lives in Pacific Beach and runs a bootcamp 9:30 a.m. every Saturday at Crown Point Park. “I think being outdoors is invaluable,” she said. “You can't put a price on it. When you're running outside and you breathe fresh air next to the water and then the bright sun naturally makes you happy – that's the reason I'm here.” That's the reason San Diego exists. That's the reason we're all here. “There's definitely an element of wow every day. It's amazing,” said Sarah Dymond, yoga instructor and co-owner of San Diego Paddle Yoga in Mission Bay. “We love being outside on the water getting sandy and salty every day. We have the natural resources so why not use them,” said Dymond, who moved here from Baltimore eight years ago. “When I'm teaching a class, there's always a moment when I take a minute and sit back and say ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing. I can't believe this is my job. It's so beautiful.’” From the bay side to on the bay to overlooking the beach, the opportunities for the weekend warriors – or just weekend warrior poses – are endless, especially on the coast. Saturday and Sunday mornings hundreds of people join Steve Hubbard for a 90-minute yoga session in Palisades Park above the Law Street beach to clear their minds and feel

the energy of the ocean. Yoga mats and water bottles cover the grass as people from all walks of life and all levels of yoga stretch and reach to the skies. “The whole intention of it was to make this practice, which is so healthy and promotes so much good stuff, accessible to everybody and have a community class for anybody to join,” Hubbard said. “It gets people out and in touch with nature a little more.” And people from east, south and north county come to one of the most beautiful spots in Pacific Beach to find peace and relaxation after a stressful work week. “One of the things I think people kind of forget is that by big bodies of water like this, the negative ions in the air are increased, and the negative ions enhance your mood, stimulate your senses – they do a lot of healthy stuff,” Hubbard said. “To practice

EDUCATION NOTEBOOK >> Mission Bay High A group of Mission Bay High School students recently returned from a twoweek trip through Europe. The students started their tour in Rome and visited Piazza Navona, the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Spanish steps followed by a tour of the Vatican. After Rome, they headed north and visited the town of Assisi. The world-traveling high school students continued their Italian tour and visited the famous Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge, considered the oldest in the city of Florence. The famous Duomo, Florence's magnificent church, was one of the final stops in Italy. From Florence and Pisa, the MBHS students traveled to the principality of Monaco followed by the French cities of Nice, Avignon, Pont du Gard (2,000year-old Roman aqueduct) and the medieval town of Carcassone. From there they visited Barcelona and watched the Magic Fountains located in Plaza de España, visited the Sagrada Familia cathedral, and went to La Barceloneta beach. The students ended their trip in Madrid, Spain where they visited the famous Prado Museum, the Royal Palace, and the Plaza Mayor. “My experience in Europe was better than I could have ever imagined,” said MBHS student Priscilla Tamborini. “I definitely believe I came back a more well

PB Town Council’s Wine and Beer Tasting Fundraiser Saturday
SD City Council votes to support zero waste plan By DAVE SCHWAB The San Diego City Council’s nine members voted unanimously July 13 to support a proposed zero waste plan with the goal of diverting 75 percent of the waste generated in the city away from landfill disposal by 2020. The city's goal is to reach zero waste by 2040. To get there, government officials acknowledged that the city will need to reuse, recycle and reduce the amount of waste generated within its boundaries by emphasizing education and legislation aimed at waste reduction. The city’s Environmental Services Department has been asked to come up with new ways to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Alternatives could include additional organic recycling, revising city recycling ordinances and increasing recycling at city facilities, as well as instituting additional education and outreach. During council deliberations, District 2 Councilwoman Lorie Zapf, who represents the beachfront south of La Jolla, said the whole point of the zero waste proposal is to “try to divert as much as we can.” Noting blue recycling bins typically are the ones that overflow, Zapf asked if residences could have more than one blue trash bin, and if there would be any extra-added cost associated with picking up an extra bin. She was told each residence is entitled to have up to three blue recycling bins, and that they are provided by the city free of charge, though there is a $25 delivery fee. “We have a lot of work to do in our backyards,” noted Zapf, of making the plan a reality.

them on a computer file. Over the years, Gardner has become something of an authority on graffiti: What it is, why it’s done, who’s doing it. She’ll tell you about several widely held misconceptions about graffiti. One is that it’s mostly gang-related. “Police have arrested about 95 people on my picture list,” she said. “Ninety-eight percent of the guys they (police) arrest are 20-somethings, not gangbangers or teenagers.” Gardner gave a case in point about a tagger whose mark was DAC, which was being scrolled throughout Mission Beach.

The Force Awakens in San Diego Thousands of Comic-Con attendees, including Han Solo (Harrison Ford, above), left the convention center after the ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ panel and headed to Embarcadero Marina Park South on July 10 to hear the San Diego Symphony perform a free concert of ‘Star Wars’ music.

ReWild Mission Bay chosen as primary regional wetlands project San Diego Audubon’s ReWild Mission Bay recently became one of three projects chosen to spearhead wetlands restoration in the San Diego region. As it adopted a resolution to prioritize the protection and restoration of San Diego’s wetlands, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board selected the group for the project’s goal to restore and expand more than 150 acres of wetlands in the northeast corner of Mission Bay. The action solidified the water board’s stated commitment to prioritizing regionwide restoration of one of Southern California’s most
threatened and important habitats, designed to ensure completion of the ReWild project and survival of Mission Bay’s wetlands. With ReWild Mission Bay, San Diego Audubon is facilitating a three-year planning process that includes collecting community input and conceptualizing plans to restore the wetlands along Pacific Beach Drive and on both sides of Rose Creek. By May of 2017, this process should yield at least three versions of a communityinformed, scientifically defensible wetlands restoration plan for the northeast corner of
“Finally, when the police caught DAC, it was a 23-year-old white guy living in a multi-million dollar house in Encinitas with his parents,” she said, adding, “DAC stood for Da Crew.” Gardner is not shy about telling you what she thinks of graffiti taggers, whom she refers to as “morons.” Asked why taggers do it, Gardner said, “psychologists will tell you it’s insignificant people’s way of making their mark, because they have nothing else in their life. Smart kids don’t do this. It’s the insignificant morons that do this. It’s not even marking territory anymore, the way it used to be. Down here (beach), this is everybody’s territory.” Gardner points out graffiti is a
Mission Bay. Once the City of San Diego approves a plan, permitting and ultimately restoration of the area’s wetlands are expected to ensue. “Healthy wetlands keep our communities beautiful, preserve habitat for local wildlife and provide clean water for all of us. Healthy wetlands preserve the San Diego way of life we all treasure,” said Rebecca Schwartz, project manager for ReWild Mission Bay. “Over the next two years, ReWild will work with partners, stakeholders and the community to develop a series of plans that will keep Mission Bay healthy and thriving for years.”

crime embodied in penal code section 594-625c that states, “Every person who maliciously commits any of the following acts with respect to any real or personal property not his or her own … is guilty of vandalism … if it defaces, damages or destroys property.” The graffiti “eradicator” also notes that any substance, including chalk, no matter how well intentioned, is graffiti and illegal if its scrawled any-
The next Pacific Beach Town Council (PBTC) Wine and Beer Tasting and Silent Auction Fundraiser will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 18 at PB Woman’s Club’s Historic Hornblend Hall at 1721 Hornblend St. The event is PBTC’s single most important fundraiser to benefit the Pacific Beach community and local schools. Residents are urged to come out and taste a variety of wines and beers, munch appetizers and support the PB Town Council. PBTC is a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit corporation dedicated to the betterment of Pacific Beach. The organization hosts monthly community clean-ups and an annual graffiti removal day, as well as supporting area beautification projects and providing scholarships and awards for local students. “We are taking the responsibility of repainting the PB signs at the entries on Grand and Garnet,” said PBTC office volunteer Micaela Porte, giving just one example of how the community benefits tangibly every year from the PBTC fundraiser. Porte noted there will be non-alcoholic drinks available to those not wishing to imbibe at the July 18 fundraiser. The centerpiece of PBTC’s fundraiser is the silent auction. The town council is looking to local and regional businesses for tax-deductible contributions of items that are their specialty, such as gift certificates or merchandise. Those donating items for the fundraiser can arrange to have them picked up. PBTC also supports the Pacific Beach Recreation Center and Pacific Beach Library, as well as helping sponsor Concerts on the Green in Kate Sessions Park. The organization is also the primary organization within Pacific Beach that provides a monthly forum for local residents and business owners to discuss community issues with local elected officials/representatives and emergency services personnel. Cost to participate in the July 18 fundraiser is $25 prior to the event, $30 at the door. Checks for the event can be mailed to: PB Town Council, Union Bank Building, 1705 Garnet Ave., S.D., CA, 92109. Tickets can also be ordered online at www.pbtowncouncil.org. For more information, visit www.pbtowncouncil.org, email general@pbtowncouncil.org or call (858) 483-6666.
where within the public realm. “When do you say, your (graffiti) is OK, but mine is not?” Gardner asked. Gardner uses recycled paint, always gray and supplied by the city, which she uses to paint over tags. She travels around on her donated beach tricycle. Her other tools include a box-cutter-like razor and scrubbing and cleaning materials, as well as a two-step ladder to get at the higher and harder-to-reach places, which are becoming increasingly common. Gardner, who lives in south Mission Beach, generally patrols the boardwalk from the jetty to Feldspar Street in Pacific Beach just north of where the boardwalk ends. She said she’s found tags on just about every-
thing imaginable: utility boxes, light poles, trash cans and everywhere on or along the sea wall. “It’s endless,” she said, adding the worst part of it is that it keeps returning. “It never goes away,” she said adding,” There’s always a new moron.” Gardner said to never confront a tagger. It’s always best to document it with a photograph, and send it to the police or to email it to her at marutagardner@yahoo.com. Though the fight against graffiti is never-ending, Gardner’s vowed to continue it along the beachfront — no matter how long it takes. “You just have to keep on it,” she said adding, “Don’t let the morons win.”
