SeaWorld’s new Tidal Twister, an horizontal, figure-8, dueling coaster opened on May 24. As the coaster accelerates to 30 miles per hour, riders will twist and bank as if they are riding the tide along a tight, figure-8 track that includes dynamic Zero-G roll. Tidal Twister is the amusement park’s third new coaster in the past six years. A fourth, named Mako, is expected to open in 2020.

IRENE GEML

Irene Geml, “Rena” age 93, passed away peacefully in Tucson, Arizona on Tues- day April 12th, 2019. Irene Geml was a long time resident of Pacific Beach from 1973 until to 2015 when she moved to Tucson. Irene was born Rena Selzer in Wehrheim Germany on July 9, 1925. As a young girl Irene endured WWII in Germany with many hardships. Shortly after the war ended she met Adam Geml from Voiteg, Romania and on Christmas day in 1946 they married. In 1949 she had her first child, Liane Geml. In 1951, Irene, Adam and Liane immigrated to the United States and began a new life in New York. The Bronx was now their new home and was where they opened a del- icatessen business. The business flour- ished and they and were very successful. In 1955 Irene gave birth to their second child Stefan Geml. Six years later Stefan died in an unfortunate auto accident. Then in 1963 Irene had their third child, Debra Geml.

A life changing moment for Irene was in 1953 when Irene, Adam and Liane drove from New York to Pacific Beach, Cali- fornia. She was so taken by the beauty of San Diego that she left determined to one day to live there and in 1973 it happened. Irene, Adam and their daughter Debra moved to Pacific Beach. Adam and Irene decided to pursue the delicatessen business again at Claremont Liquor and Del- icatessen. In the early eighties they decided to sell the business and retire. In 1989 Adam passed away to cancer. Irene now in retirement and a widow decided to do volunteer work for Meals on Wheels and various hospitals, stay busy with the German American Society and travel the world. Irene loved the ocean, was an avid swimmer and never missed a day of water aerobics at the Wesley Palm pool. Irene was outgoing, determined, adventurous, loved to entertain and was very proud of her German heritage. Irene is survived by her daughters Liane Fal- giano and Debra Gardner, son-in-laws, Fred Falgiano and Rusty Gardner, six grandchildren: Chris Falgiano, Anthony Falgiano, Nicole Shows, Weston Gard- ner, Calleigh Gardner and Carson Gardner and five great-grandchildren: Abby Shows, Brock Shows, Michael Falgiano, Isabella Falgiano and Olivia Falgiano. Irene’s final resting place is the Madonna Lawn at El Camino Memorial, 5600 Carroll Canyon Rd, San Diego, CA. FRIDAY · MAY 31, 2019 SPORTS BEACH & BAY PRESS 7 Buccaneers rally to win CIF Div.
