A graduate of the University of San Diego, Lai’s greatest passions are building relationships, supporting the growth of San Diego’s tourism industry, and working to better the community for future generations.

In addition to serving as a shelter since April 1, 2020, SDCC has supported other essential activities, including hosting a super polling location for the 2020 Presidential General Election. With the distribution of vaccines now underway, industry professionals expect convention activity to resume this year.

MISSION BAY WETLANDS At PB Planning Group meeting, Andrew Meyer of San Diego Audubon Society said progress is being made in efforts to expand environmental protections and enlarge wetland habitats in Mission Bay. “The Regional Water Quality Control Board recently approved a project for new planning for wetland restoration in Mission Bay,” Meyer said. “The City now has funded and approved a scope of work over the next 1 ½ years for Mission Bay that includes Campland, De Anza Cove and the mouth of Rose Creek.”

During the pandemic, Meyer added SDAS has been writing a lot of grants.

“We’ve also applied for two grants to do some research on the economic value of marshes,” he said. “As times change, and sea levels rise, we will be doing a

“[This] will be a critical year as we prepare to safely reopen. We are encouraged by the interest we continue to hear from meeting planners and attendees about returning to in-person gatherings, and we are prepared to evolve aspects of our operations to meet new guidelines and expectations,” said Clifford “Rip” Rippetoe, SDCC’s president and CEO. “With our capable and innovative team of staff, board members, and partners, I believe in our ability to rise to challenges and return to our primary role as an economic engine for San Diego.”

SDCC's board is composed of seven volunteer business and community leaders who are responsible for establishing the policies by which SDCC conducts its dayto-day operations, under the guidance of the President and CEO. Board members choose the officers. cost-benefit analysis along with UC San Diego.”

PB PROTEST FALLOUT During the latest PB Planning Group meeting, District 2 community representative Monique Tello told members of Community Collaborators, a loose-knit group of PB civic organizations, that police and government were restricted in dealing with the recent violent public protest on Mission Boulevard.

“You do not need to pull a (City) permit to hold a protest,” Tello told collaborators at their January Zoom meeting. “Most times protesters are not required even to notify the police department before they gather.”

This month’s feature: Gordon & Smith Surfboards Gordon and Smith/G&S was started in a garage in PB back in 1959 by Larry Gordon and his cousin Floyd Smith. 62 years later, it is still owned and operated here in PB by two of Larry’s kids, Debbie and Eric, who took over the family business in 2014.

I often get met with surprise when people learn that I grew up here in PB since there aren’t too many “locals” anymore. It got me thinking, there’s a lot of interesting people and businesses in our community that people may not know about if they are new to the area. So, each month I will be spotlighting someone within our community that I think has an interesting story to share.

Debbie still lives in North PB where she raised her 4 kids and Eric is a staple in the lineups between Pump House and Little Point. With so many changes to the surf/skate industry during G&S’s storied 62 year history, they pride themselves on taking original tried and true designs and integrating them with modern technology to remain “Retro Relevant”.

They’ve maintained their dad’s playbook and mantra of “making people better surfers”, which is apparent when you order a still hand shaped surfboard from them. They will personally walk someone through their order, giving their customers a true “custom ordered” experience.

When I asked them what they miss most about their youth in “old school PB” and what they like most about the current PB, the answer was actually the same; they miss the family dynamic that was prevalent here in PB when they were kids but was absent for so long. At the same time, they’re stoked on the recent resurgence of families living in PB again and seeing longtime friends of theirs from PB, their kids and grandkids still living here.

Before I Ieft their foam dust and vintage picture covered office, I asked them what would Larry say about the surf biz today and how PB has changed, and I was told he’d laugh and say “well, we’ll have to show up tomorrow to see what happens next.”

counteract ensuing violence in the large gathering that spilled out onto the boardwalk. Some witnesses claimed police were largely unresponsive in reacting to the scuffle as it developed.

PB resident Erin Smith, who was at the event with her 66-year-old mother, said they attended to be “In solidarity to stand up against groups that promote white supremacy and to let them know their dangerous antics will not be tolerated.”

The Smiths claimed harsh treatment from both police and protesters alike during the demonstration, which led them to conclude: “The community, all of San Diego, needs to open their eyes to the very real problem we have here with neo-Nazis and domestic terrorists… San Diego can do better than this. We just need people to be aware of the severity of the issue.”

Kathy Archibald of Pacific Beach was disgusted with the protest.

“I found it disgusting that pro-Trump extremists would feel comfortable rallying in PB after pro-Trump extremists attempted to violently overthrow the government in Washington, D.C.,” she said. “Violence and racism must be confronted head-on, with honesty and accountability, whether in politics, law enforcement, or elsewhere.

hock, anger, and disgust were the primary reactions of local leaders and residents to the culture clash that turned violent between supporters of former President Trump, white supremacists, Antifa, and police on Jan. 9 along Mission Boulevard.

“I view this as more than a culture clash,” said Pacific Beach environmental activist Karin Zirk, who witnessed the event. “We have white supremacists emboldened by President Trump trying to overthrow governments of all sorts and create a whites-only nation. This is the largest danger to our democracy since the Civil War.” San Diego Police declared an “unlawful assembly” that Saturday around 2:30 p.m. due to acts of violence that erupted during the assembly led by supporters of former President Trump. Witnesses reported people threw rocks, glass bottles, and eggs that also hit some police officers.

“There will be consequences for those who bring that kind of behavior to our city. I am asking for the public’s help in identifying anyone who was seen committing acts of violence in Pacific Beach,” said Mayor Todd Gloria.

Police reportedly fired pepper balls at crowd members to

Otherwise, we will never get past this.”

Marcella Bothwell, MD, president of the Pacific Beach Town Council and development chair for PB Planning Group, said: “I don’t understand why our community was chosen to have this activity from outside groups. I asked our board members to not get involved if possible.”

Added Bothwell: “Our participation is like oxygen to these organizations and violence only hurts our community. Our businesses have enough to worry about keeping their livelihoods afloat and don’t need to spend time boarding up their windows.

It seems that even if they (protests) start peaceful, they don’t end up peaceful. Please take your protests elsewhere.”

Katie Matchett, president of nonprofit beautifulPB, pointed out the need for keeping public protests peaceful.

“One of the essential roles of public spaces is to allow room for public discussion on the important topics of the day,” she said. “But for that discussion to be effective, everyone must feel safe and welcome in our public

army because, make no mistake about it, the white supremacists who drank the Kool-Aid and believe the election was rigged, view what they did on Jan. 6 as successful. And they are trying to replicate it all over the country. I also felt that the police were treating the pro-democracy protesters much more harshly than the proTrump [protesters].”

Michelle Papalote of PB Southwest Central praised the conduct of police during the demonstration.

“The San Diego Police did outstanding work,” she said. “Their response was organized, professional, and kept PB from a potential storm of chaos.”

“Peaceful protests are protected by the First Amendment and the police department will always facilitate these events,” reacted San Diego Police Department PIO Lt. Shawn Takeuchi. “However, violence of any kind will not be tolerated.”

“We need to be openly and proudly anti-racist, and we need to hold our law enforcement accountable,” Smith added. “They are here to serve us and protect us.”

NEWS Recurring flooding issue at Mission Bay High is a ditch

By DAVE SCHWAB

W

henever it rains significantly, the parking lot at Mission Bay High School gets flooded due to sediment-filled concrete drainage ditches nearby.

It’s a vexing and recurring problem that Pacific Beach Planning Group board member Scott Chipman has been working for years to try and resolve.

“The issue of regular flooding at MBHS goes back at least 15 years, maybe even longer,” Chipman told PBPG during a recent presentation. “So far, the area ditches have been cleaned out twice. And it’s taken a borderline act of Congress to get them cleaned out each time.

To me, the goal is not only to get these ditches cleaned out now but to have a permanent solution.”

But, it turns out, there’s a “catch” to finding a permanent solution to cleaning out MBHS drainage ditches. Under current environmental law, filledin ditches are considered to be wetlands, which means cleaning them out comes at a price.

“City land-use planners told me, the way the law is written, cleaning out the ditches requires mitigation,” said Chipman. “That means, you have to buy land or have some land set aside, whenever you take away vegetation from the ditch. And it (vegetation) is regenerating itself every time we don’t clean it.”

Pointed out Chipman, “What happens when the ditches are not kept clean is vegetation starts to grow and debris collects and that slows the water down, so when you get a quarter-inch of rain, the parking lot

CITY LAUNCHES EFFORT TO MAKE OUTDOOR DINING SPACES SAFER As the City of San Diego seeks to support local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new outreach effort will provide education to business owners, reminding them about safety requirements for those providing outdoor dining and retail operations.

In order to expand business and dining into the public right of way and private parking lots, businesses are required to obtain a Temporary Outdoor Business Operations Permit. Requirements for the construction of decks, platforms and temporary structures are outlined as part of the guidance that is available to business owners seeking a permit.

On Dec. 15, 2020, CAL FIRE issued a bulletin reaffirming statewide fire prevention regulations for the use of tents, awnings or other fabric enclosures for outdoor dining.

at MBHS, and the bus drop-off zone, is f looded to depths as much as two feet.”

And, according to Chipman, it also doesn’t help that the City has a stormwater priorities waiting list. “They only clean about 10 ditches per year,” he said, adding the waiting list can exceed 100 ditches.

“MBHS is grateful for the City’s attention to the storm drain on the west side of our campus,” said principal Ernest S. Remillard. “During my time as principal, the City has come out a few times to address the overgrowth causing the flooding issue. When the appropriate care is given to the drain, we see fewer bugs around campus, no impacts on parking and campus access, as well as less homeless encampments in the overgrowth.”

The long-t er m solut ion Chipman has proposed includes: – Continuing to pursue

drainage ditch cleanout ASAP. – After cleaning create a volunteer cleaning crew of PB Town Council/residents so the concrete ditch cannot be considered freshwater.

– Ask for assistance from the Pacific Beach Town Council and Friends of Pacific Beach Secondary Schools for a community plan to keep the concrete ditch clean.

– Request assistance from District 2 Councilmember Jen Campbell’s office to pursue PB Drive realignment and drainage undergrounding.

Chipman contends cleaning out the ditch, realigning the road and undergrounding, drainage would resolve the problem.

“It would eliminate flooding of MBHS and significantly reduce mosquito problems while providing a grade-separated bike/pedestrian path for two blocks,” he concluded.

County expands COVID-19 vaccination availability to ages 75 and up

By JOSÉ A. ÁLVAREZ

D

ue to a slowing of appointments at COVID-19 vaccination sites, the County of San Diego on Jan. 18 expanded the category of those eligible to include those aged 75 and up.

“We took this action today to add individuals 75 years of age and older because they are at the greatest risk,” said Wilma J. Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. “It remains our intention to expand vaccines to those 65 and older the week of Jan. 25, contingent of vaccine availability.”

These new requirements apply to the Petco Park Vaccination Super Station and other Point of Distribution sites providing County vaccine. More information is at coronavirus-sd.com/vaccine and reservations can be made at vaccinationsuperstationsd.com.

Only Health Care Workers (Phase 1A, All Tiers) and those 75

and older (Phase 1B, Tier 1) can visit vaccination sites.

1. Health care workers are encouraged to first contact their doctor or healthcare providers to request the vaccine, but if none are available, then they should make an appointment for a County site 2. Appointments are required; walk-ups and drive-ups without appointments will be turned away.

3. Do not schedule an appointment if you have COVID-19, or are sick. Please follow CDC guidance for those situations 4. Medical professionals administering the vaccine will be wearing personal protective equipment 5. Wear a mask 6. Acceptable forms of proof to be presented at the County’s Vaccine Super Station 7.

In 2020, more San Diegans dying because of meth

By JOSÉ A. ÁLVAREZ

4645 Cass St. (Corner of Emerald)

COURTESY PHOTO

Record numbers of San Diegans are dying because of meth, according to new figures that show the highly addictive drug’s increasingly harmful impact on the region. A total of 546 San Diegans died from meth last year, 63 more than the previous record of 483 set in 2018.

This is the key finding in the San Diego County Methamphetamine Strike Force’s latest report, which was recently released outside the County Administration Center.

The 2020 report card shows the leading indicators of meth problems in the region.

According to the Medical Examiner’s Office, the people most impacted by meth are those 45 years of age and older, which represented 319 of the total meth-related deaths. The reason is that people in this age bracket tend to have had chronic cardiovascular disease, which itself

could have resulted from longtime methamphetamine abuse.

The 2020 Meth Report Card also shows: • There were 13,020 emergency room visits due to methamphetamines in 2018 compared to 12,926 in 2017. Data from 2019 won’t be available until 2021.

• A total of 6,591 people were admitted to County-funded treatment programs due to meth abuse last year, vs.

6,906 in 2018.

• 59% of adult arrestees tested positive for meth in 2019, compared to 57% the previous year.

• 11% of juvenile arrestees tested positive for meth in 2019, compared to 10% in 2018.

• Meth arrests for selling and possession of meth increased to 11,313 in 2019 vs. 10,156 the year before.

Meth from Mexico San Diego County has had a long history with meth and the problems that come along with it. While the region is no longer considered the “Meth Capital of the World,” and little meth is produced locally, there is more meth available, and it is more potent and cheaper than ever.

The highly addictive and deadly drug is being manufactured and smuggled across the border

by Mexican drug cartels. Today, most of the methamphetamine in San Diego County is coming from Mexico.

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, methamphetamine seizures at U.S.-Mexico ports of entry nearly doubled in 2019. More than 34,000 kilograms were seized in 2019 compared to more than 19,000 kilograms the year before.

Guerrero gets four life terms plus 143 years for four murders

By NEAL PUTNAM

F

our consecutive terms of life in prison were handed down Tuesday to Jon David Guerrero who killed three homeless men in Ocean Beach, Mission Bay, and downtown plus a woman in North Park.

The sentencing of Guerrero, now 43, ends the nearly five-year case involved attacks upon mostly homeless people that occurred in 2016.

“You took a piece of my heart that I’ll never get back,” said Linda Gramlick, the mother of Shawn Longley, to Guerrero, whom she referred to as “a monster.”

Gramlick spoke via a computer feed from her Florida home and appeared on a video screen before San Diego Superior Court Judge Kenneth So. Longley, 41, was found dead on July 4, 2016, near the Robb Athletic Field tennis courts in Ocean Beach. He was attacked while asleep by Guerrero who hammered a railroad spike into his head.

So ordered the life terms to run without the possibility of parole.

He also imposed an additional sentence of 143 years.

Guerrero pleaded guilty in January 2020 to four counts of first-degree murder as well as two arson counts in which victims

had been set on fire. He also pleaded guilty to eight counts of attempted murder and assault of other homeless people.

The motive for all of the attacks was a hatred of homeless people. Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey told the judge that one surviving victim who asked Guerrero why he assaulted him said Guerrero answered “because you’re a bum.”

The sentencing was delayed because of the coronavirus outbreak. Other delays occurred when Guerrero was found mentally incompetent to stand trial and was sent to a state mental hospital for treatment.

Bike shops in La Jolla and Pacific Beach rolling along despite shortages

By DAVE SCHWAB

B

icycle retail and repair shops in La Jolla and Pacific Beach are faring better than most during the pandemic. But now there’s a new problem: supply.

“It’s kind of a double-edged sword,” said Jason Millard, manager of California Bicycle, a 45-year-old bike shop at 7462 La Jolla Blvd.

“We’re extremely busy. But at the same time, there’s a huge lack of inventory across the nation. That has put quite a few bicycle stores out of business.”

“In March 2020 when the lock down happened, we were slow,” confided Greg Heath, general manager of Bicycle Discovery at 742 Felspar St. in PB. “I was sure we were going to have trouble finding enough business. But as we went into about the one-month mark (mid-April), people started pouring in the shop, looking to get back on bikes and get outside.”

Millard of California Bicycle put the current bicycle supply shortage into perspective.

“The supply train has been broken in the industry as a whole,” he concluded. “Last year in April, May and June, we sold more bikes than we traditionally sell in a year. After all the beaches and gyms closed down, people had nowhere to go but outside and do sports like cycling.”

Added Millard: “What happened is, due to the much greater demand,

it put the industry into a tailspin the rest of the year. For example, I had 800 bikes I ordered back in April and May of 2020. As of the end of December, I had received about 30 of them.”

Heath of Bicycle Discovery has had similar supply and delivery issues, though not nearly as severe.

“Since the gyms and other sources of exercise were not available, we saw a huge volume of new bike riders coming in,” he said. “Over the next few months we had a hard time even getting bikes built fast enough for all the customers we had. My team worked really hard to keep up with the demand. But by the time we got to July, we had a hard time getting more product in.”

Heath talked about how Bicycle Discovery coped.

“We started adapting how we ordered everything just to try our best to keep all our customers riding, and get as many new bikes in as possible,” he said. “As production started back up, we started getting more bikes in. Although, there are some types of bikes that are still difficult for everyone to get.

“The whole cycling industry got a large boost, but the sudden growth in sales means the more complicated bike builds (high-end road bikes/mountain bikes) have long lead times and people are usually buying in advance to make sure they get what they want.”

Millard too, is coping as best he can with the shortage situation.

The California Bicycle showroom at 7462 La Jolla Blvd.

“As of right now my company is still not able to deliver a lot of bikes and we probably won’t see them until August of this year,” he said adding, “It affects all of us in the industry. Nobody’s immune. It’s the vendors being out of product, which produces a trickle down effect. If they don’t have it – we don’t have it.”

Added Millard of the shortage, “It’s definitely a negative. A dozen times a day I get people ready to plop down money, but we have no bikes to sell them.”

The supply shortage has even impacted Millard’s in-house bike repair shop. “It’s become a full-time job just to access components like

gears and brake pads to repair bicycles,” he said.

Fortunately, California Bicycle was prepared.

“Having been in business 45 years, we have a huge stockpile internally of bicycle components that’s kept us afloat,” Millard said.

“I don’t want to say we planned for this. But we planned for this.”

Heath sees better times ahead, though the road seems a bit uncertain.

“Never in my years as a manager have I had so many bikes that were on order, but that's the new way we are running things to make sure we have enough for everyone who comes in,”

he said. “We remained steady all (last) year and going into the new year. We are now making sure we are doing whatever we can to keep the shop full so customers can get what they want.

Cycling is a hit right now because it’s outdoors and COVID-safe.”

“Pretty much every bike manufacturer was sold out of every bike they make by mid-year last year,” continued Heath. “Now the real strain is getting things in, and how to adjust your business to keep customers happy. There will be challenges for this next year. But overall, the industry is strong and we are happy to see so many people riding bikes.”

Find latest devices and accessories at new Spectrum store in La Jolla

By DAVE SCHWAB

SPECTRUM

S

pectrum recently opened a one-stop-shop in La Jolla serving consumers’ multifaceted electronic needs.

“This is an experience store where people can come in and really look at all our devices and try them out,” said Pam Collazo, Spectrum’s senior manager for communications, about the new La Jolla store at 8843 Villa La Jolla Drive, Suite 203.

“Our Spectrum store’s team is here to help our local customers who need support in getting and staying connected during these uncertain times,” said Pattie Eliason, Spectrum senior vice president. “They are working to make our new store in La Jolla a safe, convenient environment to add or manage services, shop for devices and accessories, or make payments while ensuring we adhere to current local and state health and safety guidelines.”

The Spectrum store gives consumers in the La Jolla area a convenient option for adding or managing their Spectrum Internet, TV, mobile, or voice services. It offers the latest devices and accessories compatible with Spectrum Mobile, which is designed to provide customers the highest quality experience at great value,

of high-touch areas and hand sanitizers available storewide.

Collazo noted that Spectrum and Time Warner Cable merged about five years ago. She said Spectrum now serves the county north of Interstate 8, while Cox Communications serves the county south of Interstate 8 and in East County.

She added La Jolla’s new spectrum store is ideally situated in the Shops at La Jolla Village Mall,

which includes a Whole Foods.

“It’s near the Paper Source on the CVS side of the mall with plenty of parking,” Collazo said.

She added: “Customers can go in the store and sign up for all our services, Spectrum Mobile, TV, internet, and phone. There’s a kiosk where they can pay their bills using credit cards, checks, or cash.”

Two new product offerings at Spectrum include:

– Call Guard, a feature for both Spectrum Voice a nd Spectrum Business Voice customers that automatically blocks malicious robocalls and sends caller ID alerts for other suspicious telemarketing calls.

Through their voice portal, customers have the ability to view which numbers have been blocked, add additional blocked numbers, add allowed numbers to ensure important calls are delivered, or turn off the Call Guard feature.

– Spectrum Mobile now offers Samsung's new lineup of S series phones, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The Galaxy S21 and S21+ feature a new design, a pro-grade camera, and the most advanced processor ever in a Galaxy device. Additionally, Spectrum Mobile’s nationwide 5G service now reaches 230 million people and combines low-band coverage with high-band, ultra-fast millimeter wave service available in 61 cities and counting.

12 LIFESTYLE Dramatic clothing, art quilts, and assemblages at Create DIY FRIDAY · JANUARY 22, 2021

BEACH & BAY PRESS / LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Fashion Files Diana Cavagnaro Create DIY was a textile arts festival presented by QuiltFest from Jan. 13-16. This was the first DIY online event, which included workshops and lectures with quilting, rug hooking, fabric weaving, macramé, knitting, doll-making, bead embroidery, fabric dying, crocheting, and tapestry weaving.

One of the participants was local fiber artist Marty Ornish who creates dramatic clothing, art quilts, and assemblages. She loves to use abandoned quilts, damaged vintage linens, and throw away materials. She deconstructs to reconstruct upcycling vintage materials.

Ornish who is known as Marty-O was asked to lecture on “Inspiration & Creativity” at this textile arts festival. She shared her techniques for finding inspiration along with her wealth of knowledge in the field of textiles.

Beginning her presentation, she said that you should think like a child. Look through their eyes and their amazing curiosity.

Travel and go to museums for

ideas.

Ornish said: “I gravitate to the artist Paul Klee, which doesn’t make sense because I don’t make abstract art or use vivid colors.

I use antique textiles so my finished work will look like faded colors. When I go to museums I look at things that aren’t on my list such as how did they use light and sometimes the frame is as good as the art. Picasso is great to look at for the composition and use of color.

Other inspirations she talked about were graffiti and street art along with Japanese fashion, style, and art. These are marvelous ways to spur your imagination.

Safeguarding your time and limiting daily distractions are additional methods she talked about for inspiration and creativity. She is a lifelong learner and experiments even if it is messy. While working she watches fashion shows and art documentaries for added creativity.

One of her favorite inspirational exhibitions was Guo Pei at the Bowers Museum. This Chinese fashion designer creates the most intricate details in her work. Guo Pei is truly exceptional. Marty-o also enjoys Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, who is known for his avant-garde tailoring.

Close up look at the three-dimensional collar and oversized flower.

Back of the dress which was constructed from a quilt made during WWll.

Each month she spends hours looking through magazines for ideas. She said to let history inspire you and finished by mentioning that you should always push yourself.

Ornish loves Yo-Yo’s, which are called Suffolk Puffs in England.

She was given two yo-yo quilts, which were made by three generations during WWll. Taking one quilt and turning this into a yo-yo dress and then placing the second yo-yo quilt with a header behind the model. The dress has a three-dimensional collar and

was accented with an oversized flower.

She received Best of Show for this piece ‘Form Not Function’ at the Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Ind., 2020. She has a list of additional awards for her unique work and also received Best of Show at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival, Wearable art, Hampton, Va., 2019.

La Jolla filmmaker documents COVID fight in America's hardest hit city

By JEFF CLEMETSON

L

Adam Raby (left, with long hair in a ponytail) is interviewing Dr. John Redd, the chief medical officer for the office of the assistant secretary of health COURTESY PHOTO and human services for preparedness and response.

ike a lot of filmmakers, La Jolla resident Adam Raby’s film projects in 2020 were put on hold. But on Dec. 31, Raby was offered a chance to be at ground zero in the fight against the COVID-19 panic.

“Empowering a Billion Women contacted me and said, ‘Hey, we know you’re from California and we got this opportunity to do some filming in El Centro, are you interested?”

Empowering a Billion Women (EBW, ebw2020.com) is an organization made up of a global network of women leaders who advocate for women’s health and prosperity. In

the early months of the pandemic, EBW was tapped by the U.S. Health & Human Services (HHS) Department to use its network in procuring PPE. It’s latest role in the COVID fight — and the reason it reached out to Raby — is a public information campaign in El Centro, informing residents about the availability of monoclonal antibody treatments (MABs).

“When President Trump got diagnosed with COVID-19, they took him to Walter Reed in a helicopter, and as soon as he landed they gave him this treatment,” Raby said. “It was only available to certain people at that point, it wasn’t available to anybody, really. Now the government wants to

use this as a vehicle to lower the hospital rates because hospitals are overwhelmed. In El Centro, they got parking lots full of tents with people in them and they’re just trying to find a way to help this community.”

The MAB program that Raby and his partner Jose Valdez filmed was started by Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Dr. Robert Kadlec and is carried out by HHS and the El Centro Regional Medical Center, a UCSD hospital.

EBW’s role was to inform the public about the program, help alleviate fears and fight misinformation about the new treatment.

Women make 80% of health care decisions in the United States, according to Department of Labor statistics, so gaining the trust of women was critical in galvanizing support for the MAB program.

“There is a lot of messaging out there that has made this virus and this pandemic even more tragic,” Raby said.

“I think using EBW to engage the women in this community and say ‘We have something that will help you, don’t be afraid to go get a test, don’t be afraid to go to the hospital, there are resources there that will help you,’ was an important part of this.”

Raby recalled one woman his team interviewed named Laura, a general manager at electrical cooperative, who shared that one of her employees called into work because she was not feeling well.

Pacific Beach student band grows up into talented musicians

By DAVE SCHWAB

P

acific Beach Elementary School teacher and parent David Sandler was an aspiring musician in his youth who only took his calling so far.

Now, as informal manager of his son Evan’s up-and-coming band, Go Heads, Sandler hopes to see them all go where he never went before.

“I grew up playing piano and 30 years ago I was in a band named Cool Beans where we wrote all-original music and played at the Coaster Saloon and the Beachcomber,” said Sandler.

“But we never did anything with it.

“Thirty years later, I was teaching my son and his friends, whose band literally just started from a talent show act. I ended up hauling them all over to my house after school, and I would teach them the songs that I played, a lot of my original music. And it just started from there. Then they started writing their own music.”

The Go Heads consist of Evan Sandler, Kory Watson, Noah Kapchinske, Drew Tolley and singer Brianna Eckenrod.

The first three are now in college. The last two are still at Mission Bay High School, where Brianna sings, and Drew plays, for the school’s award-winning

The Go Heads band was formed while its members were enrolled at Pacific Beach Elementary School.

jazz band the Mission Bay Preservationists, under the tutelage of music instructor and MBHS alumnus J.P. Balmat.

The five young people are all serious about their music, say it is important to their lives and figures prominently in their future plans.

“We started off pretty much as a classroom band in third- or fourth-grade,” noted Tolley, who’s been playing drums since age 7. “I originally didn’t know what I was going to play, but my dad said, ‘Play the drums.’ My dad had a little backyard shed and he had a drum set out there and he taught me all the basic moves.”

“Our sound has matured since

then,” said Kapchinske, adding he’s been playing guitar since age 8 and has studied under popular, high-profile local blues guitarist Robin Henkel. “I was first inspired to pursue music from hearing Johnny Cash and old country and rockabilly music. Then I got turned on to roots, jazz and blues. I really appreciate a lot of genres. I’ve been into bluegrass stuff lately.”

“Almost all of us were in Pacif ic Beach Elementary’s ba nd,” poi nted out Eva n Sandler, discussing his musical taste. “Blues music is huge with all these amazing inf luences that really blends well with our style.”

Of what her singing means to her, Eckenrod said: “It’s this great form, experience, it’s something that comes from you.

It’s your voice that’s inside of you, just a way to express yourself. When I was little I would zone out and start singing. I guess I didn’t sound too bad.” “[Brianna] sang a capella in our Pacific Beach Elementary variety show,” David Sandler said, adding he was impressed.

“I said, ‘She needs to be in these kids’ band.’ She was 9 or 10 years old.”

“I started playing guitar in second grade,” said Watson, noting David Sandler “asked me if I wanted to play bass.

I said, ‘Sure.’ That’s how it happened.” “[Watson’s] also a great sax and clarinet player and plays with the Preservationists,” added David Sandler.

O f h i s g u it a r s t ud e nt , Kapchinske, blues-guitarist Henkel said: “Noah is talented, humble and enthusiastic. He’s polite and considerate. That, combined with his strong aptitude for music, is probably why he’s doing so well.”

Henkel added Noah, as a guitarist, “gets it.”

“When we explore the interrelation of various scales and harmonic devices I’ll ask him

to compose something using those ideas,” Henkel added.

“Each week he shows me a new tune in music notation with a demo-recorded version. He’s not just a guy in a band moving up quickly. He’s becoming a composer and arranger.”

David Sandler’s more than a manager to his son’s band. He added he’s not living vicariously through them, but rather delighting in guiding them down their own musical path.

“These kids are such a part of me,” he said. “They save my life in a way. I felt so empty after my era ended. I was going to school and getting my teaching credentials and master’s degree and starting a family. That just seemed to disappear for me. These kids just brought it back for me. It just fills my whole life to have them in my life.”

Concluded David Sandler: “Their music is such a part of me now I could never have i magi ned. They just went above and beyond. They’re so talented, so smart, so articulated. You always want your kids to be better than you.

These kids are far better than I ever was.”

Scripps Institution of Oceanography glaciologist Helen Amanda Fricker is being honored by the UK Antarctic PlaceNames Committee with an Antarctic ice piedmont in her name. The Fricker Ice Piedmont is located on the eastern side of Adelaide Island, a mainly ice-covered island off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.

The pioneering scientist is being recognized for her work using satellites, including NASA’s ICESat-2, to study the evolution of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.

Antarctic place-names honor British individuals who've made exceptional contributions to advancing science in the polar regions. This year, 28 polar scientists were honored as part of a larger celebration to mark the 200th anniversary of the discovery of Antarctica.

Fricker is the co-leader of the Scripps Polar Center.

FRIDAY · JANUARY 22, 2021 BEACH & BAY PRESS / LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

A sabbatical leave which turned into a permanent relocation to California School. I taught my Women in Management class as well as teaching in the MBA program.

La Jolla was good to us. We easily made friends and liked our colleagues at SDSU. That summer we flew back to New Hampshire, sold our house, packed up all our belongings, and said goodbye to friends and colleagues. We returned to California to our new life.

We knew we would be happy anywhere as long we were together.

We were able to buy a house, part of a development on top of Mt. Soledad with a view of Mission Bay. We could see the Fourth of July fireworks from our backyard. San Diego was heaven for our children and grandchildren with the beaches, tide pools, and the famous San Diego Zoo. My grandchildren and Herman’s grandsons learned to swim in our pool. We found San Diego to be a vibrant cultural city with a plethora of theaters, concert halls, museums, and three universities.

It was a center of medical research. We discovered that the best medical care in the world was right at our doorstep. The academic life suited us, giving us the free time to write, travel, and spend time with friends.

We were happy.

At a dinner party in La Jolla,

Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D.

In 1979, Herman was due for a sabbatical leave.

My friend, Alice Sargeant, Dean of a Catholic college in Washington, D.C., where I taught on weekends, told us about her house in La Jolla, a village in Southern California.

She did not have any renters that winter and would let us have it at a reasonable price.

We accepted the offer having no idea what was in store for us, but we were ready for a warmer winter. It turned out to be a lovely house right on the beach. Herman swam in the ocean all winter long saying that the Pacific Ocean was warmer in the winter than the Atlantic Ocean was in the summer. Alice had written to some of her friends asking them to welcome us, so we had a ready-made community. After spending that winter in La Jolla, we looked at each other and said: “We are not going back to ice and snow!”

San Diego State University (SDSU) was hiring. We got a job as the first couple to job share at the Business

I happened to be sitting next to Jonas Salk. When he found out that I was born in Paris, France, he jumped up from his seat, took me by the hand and led me to a quiet room. He picked up the phone and called his wife Françoise Gilot who was in Paris. No matter that it was three o’clock in the morning in France, he woke her up and said he wanted to introduce her to his dinner partner and handed me the phone. I apologized for the hour. We talked in French. I suggested we continue our conversation when she returned home a few days later. We met for lunch. She is a fascinating woman; she had written a book My Life with Picasso and had two children by him and is a painter in her own right.

I shared some of my poems with her, which I was planning to send to a publisher. She loved them and offered to illustrate the book, and so she did.

Our book Is This Where I Was Going? (published by Warner Books in 1983) was very successful with many printings.

We gave several lectures together. It was wonderful to have a friend with whom I could speak French. It is strange how speaking in a different language can stimulate a different way of thinking and perceiving the world. Today Françoise is

living in New York, still paints, and exhibits her work.

Herman and I became good friends with Jonas and Françoise. Jonas came as a guest lecturer to both our classes. He was interested in the topic of creativity and invited some of the most creative individuals in the U.S. for a week-long seminar at the Salk Institute.

He asked me to facilitate that program; it was the highlight of my year.

One of my more rewarding teaching experiences was being asked to lead the first day of classes each year at UCSD Graduate School of International and Pacific Studies, teaching foreign students about how women were being marginalized and discriminated against, which many of them had not been exposed to in their countries.

This made a difference in how women in the classroom were perceived and treated for the rest of the semester. I was grateful to be given the opportunity to teach a favorite subject — gender equality as a human right.

PB Fun Fact: Kate Sessions Park was originally a 2 acre park named Color Park that was founded by Kate O. Sessions but was never completed before her death in 1940. Her brother Frank proposed to the City to rename the park Kate O. Sessions Color Park to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of her birth.

The City did better and donated 79 acres of Pueblo Lot 1785 naming it Kate O. Sessions Park in her honor.
