Planners to accept nominations for election The Mission Beach Precise Planning Board (MBPPB) will accept nominations to fill seats on its board during its meeting on Feb. 21 in preparation for elections in March. The Feb. 21 meeting is set for 7 p.m. in the Community Room at Belmont Park.  No write-ins or nominations will be accepted from the floor during the March 20 election. To be eligible, candidates must be at least 18 years old and must be a property owner, resident, or own or manage a local business with a business address in the area for which he/she is a candidate. Bylaws require eligible candidates to attend at least one meeting in the year before the elections in March. As a result, interested eligible candidates who have not attended a meeting in the last year must attend the Feb. 21 meeting to establish eligibility. The primary purpose of the board is to advise the city in the review of building plans and other zoning and code issues in Mission Beach. Members must be willing to donate about three to six hours a month to attend board meetings and serve a three-year term, unless filling an incomplete vacated term.  Regular meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Community Room at Belmont Park, except in August and December.

Ex-Charger pleads guilty to DUI in PB Former Chargers linebacker Antwan Applewhite pleaded guilty Jan. 20 to a misdemeanor charge of drunken driving, stemming from an arrest in Pacific Beach in May. Applewhite’s attorney, Kerry Steigerwalt, asked for immediate sentencing from San Diego Superior Court Commissioner Lee Witham, who placed Applewhite on five years’ probation. Applewhite, 27, was not ordered to do jail time or volunteer work. He waived being present for the sentencing because it is a misdemeanor offense. He was also fined more than $2,000. Steigerwalt said the sentence was standard for someone convicted of misdemeanor drunken driving. There was no property damage, accident or injuries. The maximum possible sentence is six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Applewhite was arrested May 6 shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Grand Avenue near Gresham Street after failing a sobriety test. He played for the Chargers at the time of his arrest but signed with the San Francisco 49ers in July. —Neal Putnam
