FIDOS & FINS ADOPTABLE PUPPIES VISIT SHARKS AT SEAWORLD
In partnership with Mission Bay Puppy Rescue and Pups N Boots, SeaWorld recently hosted a lively bunch of adoptable puppies to help raise awareness for animal rescue. The puppies played and explored the Shark Encounter where they watched a variety of sharks species ranging from Nurse Sharks to Sand Tiger Sharks and more. Exploring and learning about sharks is hard work though, and these little guys decided the exhibit is also a great spot for a nap.

Worship and workouts to be allowed in San Diego parks A s part of a continued effort to help San Diegans move activities outdoors where experts say the spread of COVID-19 is reduced, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer on Aug. 18 signed an executive order allowing gyms and religious institutions to operate in city parks where physical distancing is made easier. The mayor’s order eases permitting for fitness studios and houses of worship that wish to safely operate outside in one of the City of San Diego’s nearly 340 parks. The directive, which goes into effect Monday, Aug. 24, defers park permit fees for 60 days. Faulconer will bring an ordinance to City Council that would make the waiving of fees permanent.
‘‘Using parks as part of our pandemic relief response will help the mental health and physical health of thousands of San Diegans.’ – MAYOR KEVIN FAULCONER
Outdoor religious services and outdoor fitness classes and camps are all eligible under the executive order. Businesses must display their San Diego County Safe Reopening Plan, hold insurance naming the City of San Diego as an additional insured, and have a City business tax certificate prior to Aug. 1. New permits will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for each park depending on the local demand and total space available.
The executive order comes as public health experts continue to promote outdoor settings and physical distancing as two key tools to help slow the spread of COVID-19. “There is no city better than San Diego to take advantage of the fact that COVID-19 has a harder time spreading outdoors. Using parks as part of our pandemic relief response will help the mental health and physical health of thousands of San Diegans,� Faulconer said. “This executive order lets San Diegans
workout and worship in parks across our city. Starting Monday you can join a small group to pray, do Pilates, or part ways with your quarantine-15 weight gain, all in a healthy outdoor environment.� Faulconer has issued two previous executive orders – one for restaurants and one for fitness businesses, religious institutions, and personal care services such as hair and nail salons and barbershops – that authorized businesses and organizations to expand operations outdoors in places like parking lots. Both orders were later cemented and expanded upon by City Council votes. More than 250 businesses have been approved for outdoor business permits so far.

hree years ago, Pacific Beach ranked second behind only East Village out of 125 City communities in violent crimes reported that year with 216. Today, PB retains the exact same ranking, down slightly with 206 total violent crimes reported in the community in 2019 crime statistics compiled by San Diego Police Department. Hillcrest was third in this year’s violent crime “top five” with 165 violent crimes followed by North Park with 150 and Core-Columbia with 147. And statistics for PB from 2009 to 2018 reflect that the beach community’s average number of violent crimes has consistently been as much as three to six times the citywide average, which ranged from 41.5 to 48.2 violent crimes per year during that time period. Violent crimes include murder, rapes, armed robberies, and aggravated assaults, with assaults making up most of the violent crime numbers. In 2019, Pacific Beach had 18 rapes and 152 aggravated assaults. Reacting to the most recent violent crime stats, community activist Scott Chipman, who has lobbied for years against over saturation of alcohol licenses in PB, said: “Most of the violent crime is alcohol-related and occurs in the bar-district. In some areas of PB, there are six times more alcohol licenses than allowed by state guidelines, and every year we get more. “In 2008, PB had 128 alcohol licenses (17 bars, 77 restaurants, and 34 stores). As of July 2020, PB has 159 licenses (18 bars, 100 restaurants, and 41 stores).” “I work in substance abuse prevention, and have spent a lot of time with PB residents who are concerned about alcohol-related crime,” said Rob Hall, media advocacy specialist with SAY San Diego North City Prevention Coalition, which strives to create neighborhood and community change. “In short, the alcohol problems in PB, OB, North Park, Hillcrest, and OB are sucking up a lot of police, fire, and paramedic resources. “Our end game is an ordinance aimed at bringing a few less-responsible bars, restaurants, and breweries in line with
the good-business policies practiced by the majority of our hospitality industry citywide.” Brian Curry, former PB Planning Group chair and co-owner of Fitness West, is convinced alcohol is behind the community’s continuing high rate of violent crime. “It’s really the concentration of alcohol licenses and the concentration of crime in Pacific Beach that we were really concerned about,” Curry said noting the Community Planners Committee, an umbrella organization representing the City’s 40-plus planning groups, has proposed a solution to alcohol-related crime in communities. “We looked at what was working and what wasn’t working,” Curry said noting the CPC’s answer is “to take back control, locally, of our licensing situation through land use (powers). You start to implement a Conditional Use Permit for licensing. It’s for new licensing that the CUP applies, and/or if a bad operator continues to fall out of line. “That’s the recommendation, by taking control back from Sacramento and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, we can implement the changes we need in alcohol policy. Problems wouldn’t end the next day, but it would basically get us able to keep people in line on over-serving, the number of licenses, who gets a license, what are the conditions on the license, etc.” Added Curry: “In defense of our service industry here, most of them are running a good operation. It’s the few bad apples … even some of my friends in the bar business don’t like those bad apples either because they give the whole community a bad name, increasing the crime stats. “They don’t want that either. They can’t self-police. Everything has to go through the ABC. That’s the problem. It’s just really bringing everybody in line, getting the bad actors to clean up, really. “No one is trying to shut down anyone. We just want the ability to have new (alcohol) licenses in PB (conditioned) for new restaurants, etc. so that they then do not become bars and nightclubs."

T
he stance of Save San Diego Neighborhoods and sympathizers on short-term rentals is simple: They’re illegal in residential neighborhoods and laws on the books prohibiting them should be enforced. Period. The hot-button issue, which dates back years along the San Diego coast, was like a hurricane picking up steam recently when District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell surprised most with her compromise proposal on a new set of rules and
regulations to govern the shortterm rental industry moving forward. To some, Campbell’s proposal seemed more like a betrayal than a compromise. They are contending the council member reversed her campaign pledge to oppose STRs in neighborhoods. They also allege she wasn’t acting in good faith by negotiating with some – but not all – of the stakeholders behind the scenes. “The community was left out of the process. We were ignored,” said Brian J. Curry, past chair of Pacific Beach Planning Group. “We feel that once again we

(residents) have no voice when we should be the primary voice they (local government) listen to and address.” “It’s their (government’s) job to listen to us, we’re their constituents, not Expedia and the union,” concurred Pacific Beach Town Council member and honorary PB mayor Cathie Jolley. “They should be talking to us, the people.” “The thing is we don’t have a mayor that has the political backbone to actually enforce the code,” said Brian White, Pacific Beach Town Council president. “And we’re three months away
from electing a new mayor. We shouldn’t be trying to rush an ordinance through in the form of a backroom deal. It’s disingenuous to rush this through now.” “Short-term vacation rentals today are flatly illegal,” contends attorney Cory Briggs, who is running for City Attorney in November. “There’s no statute of limitations on when a City fails to enforce the law. Laws don’t grow stale due to lack of enforcement.” “Enforcement needs to actually happen,” argued yoga instructor Nicole Turner, a PB homeowner living near a short-term
rental. “Right now there’s no enforcement.” “This really does affect communities and neighborhood housing adversely,” argued John Thickstun, a La Jolla attorney and board member of SSDN, a nonprofit with a mailing list of nearly 3,000. “The implication has been that there needs to be something added to the code to solve the problem of short-term rentals in neighborhoods in residential zones. And the fact is, the municipal code states that uses that are not enumerated in the code are prohibited.” See OPPONENTS, Page 10
Councilmember Campbell’s chief of staff discusses short-term rental plan short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods, but has since reversed herself. Your reaction? Molina: [Campbell] didn’t understand at first why the municipal code could not be enforced. There is no way you could enforce the code now as it exists and not get sued by the (STR) platforms. We need to better define them (STRs) in the code, then create enforcement around them and regulate them.
By DAVE SCHWAB
S
an Diego Community Newspaper Group caught up with Venus Molina, chief of staff for District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell, for a Q&A on the recent compromise proposal Campbell has offered on short-term rentals, which has stirred emotions on all sides. Q. Were you surprised by the adverse reaction in some quarters to your office’s short-term rental compromise proposal? Molina: Absolutely not. We knew there was going to be strong opposition, that people felt very strongly about the issue, and that they wanted us to wait until after the election. People have asked us to step up and take this issue on, as it was daunting. We have been meeting with folks who came into our office over the last year. Expedia was working on their memorandum of understanding (MOU), and we wanted to hear from our constituents as well in another round of meetings. We met with the Save San Diego Neighborhoods folks, and the OB Town Council to get a temperature check on where they were at and they were in the same place that they had been: they don’t want them. But it’s not the wild wild west. We knew we had to do something. The majority of folks really want to see something happen. Q. Tell us how the council member’s compromise proposal arose. Molina: People don’t know this is not our MOU. The MOU is between two outside parties. These are the terms they agreed to. [Campbell] was a coalition builder. It’s up to the City Attorney now to work on a draft and finalize the new (STR) ordinance. We still want to get as much input as possible from everyone on this new ordinance. Q. Why didn’t you wait, as some have suggested, until after the November election to unveil this
compromise STR proposal? Molina: In the new year we’re going to have five new council members who will have to start over being educated on this and other very complex issues. The council members that are still there now understand the issues. They are very much aware of it and have been living with it for years. We want to get this done now versus waiting for the new council, which would be another year. People want to see this now. Q. Why is the municipal code pertaining to short-term rentals not being enforced? Molina: Enforcement right now is not realistic. If we could do that, we would have. You’ve seen the (STR) platforms come after the City and force the City to have a referendum and to rescind their last policy (on STR reform). So they’ll (platforms) sue the City, and it will keep this issue in the courts forever. San Diego is one of the top STR markets. The STR industry would fight for this market. Also, you can’t take away from people something they’ve been doing for years, taking away their income. If we (City) said, ‘We’re going to shut you down,’ we would most likely get sued by the platforms and they would probably win. That’s what our attorneys have said to us.” Q. Some are alleging that the council person was opposed to
Q. What is good about the council member’s compromise STR proposal? Molina: The STR platforms and the union usually do not like each other. These two powerhouses could sue or referendize or take down any proposal we could come up with. Now you have two opponents working together to figure something out and come up with a compromise that works for everybody. Now, this (MOU) gives us something to work with. Now we have to fill in the blanks and bones of this structure (new STR ordinance) to come up with a compromise that works for everybody. Q. Your reaction to the claim that short-term rentals are intrinsically bad and counterproductive because they take away from the housing stock depriving permanent residents in the midst of a housing crisis. Molina: This new agreement we are proposing would cut the number of STRs by 70%, and release that housing back into the market for rental and for sale, so we would have more housing for permanent residents. Reducing it by 70%, that’s a huge win. We’re trying to run with that before they (platforms) change their mind. This is a pretty good deal for us (City). The agreement would lower the number of STRs estimated at about 16,000 down to 3,750. That is huge. We’re looking at the opportunity for us (City) to do something with that, and not miss out on it.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

Pacific Beach Planning Group endorses name change for Community Park By DAVE SCHWAB
P
acific Beach Planning Group in August unanimously endorsed a proposal by two local social activists to rename PB Community Park as Fannie and William Payne Community Park. The Paynes were both pioneering Black educators in post-World War II PB. San Diego State University administrator Paige Hernandez, who has done extensive research on the subject, and PB resident Regina Sinsky-Crosby, have teamed on the project. Their goal was to create a petition drive seeking 1,900 signatures for renaming the park. That signature goal would match the number of PB homeowners who, in 1945, signed a petition demanding the removal of William Payne, the community’s first Black teacher on the staff of Pacific Beach Junior High School (now PB Middle) because of his race. That petition, which ultimately failed, sought to have Payne transferred to “a more suitable assignment,” given the school and its students were nearly all white. “Currently, the (recent) petition has up to 2,800 signatures,” noted Sinsky-Crosby. “What’s really stood out are the comments: People are so wholeheartedly in support. This is important to them.” “We understand this is a very symbolic act, and it does not undo the historical implications of anti-Blackness or racism in Pacific Beach,” said Hernandez. “But it is a start, especially since this painful historical past is (now) so
William Payne
public.” Added Hernandez, “We felt it (petition) was a step in the right direction for community members to reaffirm people of color in our community and speak out against hate. So we’re hoping that renaming the park is not just the end, but that there can be educational opportunities built into the curriculum at PBMS, and to create scholarships for Black high school students and other opportunities for revitalizing the park. The park is not in great shape, and is kind of an eyesore.” PBPG board member Karl Rand pointed out the city “has a criteria for renaming parks for significant individuals and significant events that goes through the City Council.” He added District 2 Councilmember Campbell’s office has “offered to usher this through the bureaucracy.” Board member Ed Gallagher was uncertain at first whether to back the proposal. “I was a little skeptical because when you think of it, there are so many (Black) people, like author
OPEN
FOR
James Baldwin, who are worthy of having a park named for them,” he said. “But when I read the story of this person (Payne), I realized the students of PB Junior High (then) missed out on an amazing opportunity. I’m absolutely in support of renaming that park in the interests of intercultural exchange.”
IN OTHER ACTION At the request of board member Gallagher, PBPG voted 11-30 in favor of extending the Slow Streets initiative now active on Diamond Street to Hornblend Street. His proposal would create an approximately 3-mile, U-shaped loop that Gallagher noted would “enable PB residents to safely recreate in fresh outdoor air and uncongested space.” The Slow Streets pilot program was introduced by the mayor recently to make it safer for San Diegans to walk and bike by creating more space for physical distancing and reducing congested foot traffic at parks, beaches, and outdoor trails.

La Jolla hypnotherapist helping people Oltre Mare owners expand with become a better version of themselves Pastiamo in North Pacific Beach By DAVE SCHWAB
L
a Jolla hypnotherapist Elena Mosaner has been captivated by the subject since age 5 when her mother took her to see a stage hypnotist who made adults “act like children.” The Russian native said the experience left her “perplexed” and thirsting for answers to solve the mysteries behind hypnotism. Fast-forward to 2020. Mosaner is now a certified hypnotherapist and professionally certified coach by the International Coach Federation. For the last 15 years, she said she has helped more than 1,000 clients break bad habits, like smoking. She now helps them build healthy habits while boosting their confidence and shifting their mindsets to improve their lifestyles. “I teach my clients to tell new stories, improve health and become their best version,” said Mosaner on her website, elenamosaner.com. Of her therapeutic approach, Mosaner said, “You ask clients open-ended questions aimed at supporting new thoughts and actions. Then through therapy, the coach supports those new thoughts and actions. The idea is to create a sense of independence and autonomy. The client is responsible for taking the next step (self-improvement).” Mosaner came to the United States as an exchange student, settling in New York City and restarting her life from scratch. One day, she came across a newspaper ad for a hypnosis course. “As I dug deeper and worked with other hypnotherapists
Elena Mosaner
exchanging sessions, I saw tremendous potential in self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy all together,” Mosaner said. Hypnosis is defined as the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. It is used in therapy, typically to recover suppressed memories or to allow modification of behavior by suggestion. Mosaner said it typically requires two to five therapeutic sessions over an extended period to help clients break bad habits, overcome their fears or build self-confidence. She added the hypnotherapy process involves bypassing a critical faculty and establishing selective thinking. For example, she noted you might implant a suggestion that “You’ve lost your desire for sugar or, you feel confident speaking or singing because you realize the audience is on your side.” The hypnotherapist said COVID

The kitchen at Cafe Milano uses only fresh, local and seasonal ingredients in its dishes and has a large range of Italian and Californian wines to choose from.

It was the position of Jan Goldsmith, San Diego’s previous City Attorney, that the status of STRs in residential areas in the municipal code was somewhat murky because the language in the code was too vague. But present City Attorney Mara Elliott has had a different take. “Because short-term rentals are currently not defined or regulated in San Diego, they are not a permissible land use under the San Diego Municipal Code,” Elliott said in a 2017 memo. “Short-term rentals in San Diego
should be defined and regulated in a clear and comprehensive manner that respects the rights of property owners and protects our neighborhoods.” Elliott also expressed disappointment that “a 2018 ordinance that had been passed (by the City Council) to define and regulate short-term rentals was then immediately repealed due to the threat of referendum from the short-term rental industry.” Regarding Campbell's STR compromise proposal Elliott said, “Our office will not be commenting on this ordinance, which is still being written.” PB homeowner Turner suggested there ought to be a
NEWS “three strikes rule” applied by code enforcement toward legal STR operators to keep them honest. “If the property manager gets a complaint and doesn’t handle the situation three times, then they need to lose their permit,” she said. “Make the people (operators) buy the permits, then put that money into the enforcement program.” “The real issue is why is San Diego not following the rules?” asked attorney Briggs. “City hall has said we’re willing to sell ‘get out of jail free’ cards to people who are willing to send us tax dollars. The ones who are turning a blind eye are violating their oath of office to uphold the rules. The prosecutors have to
enforce all the laws.” “Short-term vacation rentals are prohibited in San Diego – that’s the law,” concluded Thickstun. “We want the law enforced. Anything short of that is simply (us) being held hostage by STR operators and owners in the City. Short-term vacationers are visitors, tourists. The code is written to keep those visitors and tourists out of our residential zones. They’re transients.” “She (Campbell) broke a campaign promise to enforce the existing code,” contends small-business co-owner Curry noting the primary problem is not with hosted (onsite owner) rentals. “Whole-unit residential short-term rentals (less than 30

They didn’t reach out to us.” "In a press release, Campbell's office, along with Expedia and Unite Here, urged the City Council to straight-docket this STR proposal,” said PBTC president White. “Why fast-track this thing? It should go to committee first, then later come back to the full council. The timing is really suspect.”

UC San Diego commemorates 50th anniversary of Geisel Library Beginning September 2020, the UC San Diego Library will observe the 50th anniversary of the university’s intellectual heart of campus, Geisel Library, which first opened its doors to the UC San Diego community and public in September 1970 — then known as the Central Library. To commemorate this momentous occasion, the Library has planned a yearlong celebration aimed at recognizing the remarkable legacy of Geisel Library, UC San Diego’s most iconic architectural masterpiece. Observances will include a series of signature events throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, including talks featuring acclaimed American authors Tara Westover and Kevin Young. In addition, the Library has launched a new website (geisel50. ucsd.edu) that includes a wealth of information on Geisel Library’s architectural design; significance on campus; historical milestones and pop culture appearances; event and exhibit information; and philanthropic opportunities. “For 50 years, the Geisel Library at UC San Diego has provided our campus community access to the materials, tools, information expertise, and idea space required to produce groundbreaking research,” said UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “Throughout its 50th year, we celebrate the iconic structure, its vast holdings and many
accomplishments, and the dedicated librarians and staff who work to ensure unfettered access to knowledge. This vital information hub plays a crucial part in UC San Diego’s ability to deliver on our mission to be a student-centered, research-focused, service-oriented public university.” On June 29, 1970, approximately 750,000 volumes were moved into UC San Diego’s Central Library and at the start of the fall 1970 quarter, the building opened for student use. Since then, the library has amassed more than seven million digital and print volumes, journals, and multimedia materials to meet the knowledge demands of scholars, students, and members of the public. Designed by the much-admired architect William Pereira, Geisel Library typically welcomes more than 6,600 patrons through its doors daily, generating nearly 2.3 million annual visitors. The building’s world-famous Brutalist architectural design conveys the idea that powerful and permanent hands are holding aloft knowledge itself, which was Pereira’s stated intention. In 1992, in response to a need for more public space, an underground addition on the east and west sides of the building was designed by Latvian-American architect Gunnar Birkerts. Birkerts deliberately designed this addition

to extend the foundation of the strong, geometrical form of the existing structure. “Through this celebration, we seek to honor the history of Geisel Library, which serves as a hub of discovery and innovation for the university, something we intend to continue indefinitely,” said the Audrey Geisel University librarian Erik Mitchell. “And while our golden anniversary festivities may look a little different than we originally planned due to the pandemic, we are excited to embark on this yearlong commemoration. I encourage our community to take pause and appreciate the beauty and symbolism of the structure itself, while also recalling all of the tremendous work that has been done by our librarians and staff over the past five decades.” Events planned for the 50th
anniversary of Geisel Library include: · A Conversation with Tara Westover, Wednesday, Sept. 16, 5:30 p.m. A virtual event featuring Tara Westover, author of her memoir “Educated,” which explores Westover’s struggle to reconcile her desire for education and autonomy with her desire to be loyal to her family, who intentionally kept her out of public education. The book instantly became a critical and commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list and remaining on the list for more than two years. Hear Westover discuss her journey and perspective during this event. Helen V. Griffith, Ed.D., the inaugural executive director of The Preuss School UC San Diego, will lead and moderate the conversation.
Registration details forthcoming— check this page for updates. · 20th Annual Toy Piano Festival: 20 Measures or 50 Seconds, Wednesday, Sept. 30, noon. The 20th Annual Toy Piano Festival is fit for listeners of all ages. Playing new works for toy pianos and songs from “The Cat in the Hat Songbook,” festival director Scott Paulson will be joined by his toy piano colleagues for an exciting performance. Many of the premieres at this year’s festival will be 20 measures or 50 seconds in honor of the 20th anniversary of the festival and the 50th anniversary of Geisel Library. More. · Architectural Masterpiece: Paving the Way for the Future, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 5:30 p.m. A virtual event highlighting UC San Diego’s most cherished architectural masterpiece, Geisel Library. Teddy Cruz, UC San Diego professor in the Department of Visual Arts and director of Urban Research for the UC San Diego Center on Global Justice, along with Chicago-based urban designer and native San Diegan Caroline Acheatel, will engage in a discussion about the historical importance of the building and explore the architectural principles that make it so iconic.

La Jolla student starts nonprofit, donates to Black Lives Matter By DAVE SCHWAB

a Jolla Country Day School student Elinor Amir-Lobel recently won an essay competition with a $2,000 cash prize and has been busy as well this summer founding a nonprofit, selling her original sticker art and donating 100% of the profits to the Black Lives Matter organization.

am very politically inclined and have an interest in the workings of politics and government. I researched the history of voting rights in this country, reading Supreme Court cases on the subject and applying my knowledge of U.S. history from school.” Asked why voting rights and racial disparities are important, Amir-Lobel replied, “I am the daughter of immigrants, have been raised trilingual, and I have a dual identity. I have been sensitive to exclusions and social justice from an early age. This country was founded on the notion that every citizen should have a say in their representation and
rights, and the Constitution was created in part to protect minorities even when they are viewed in discriminatory ways.” Added Amir-Lobel: “If at any time any group of people is not equal to any other, there is a serious problem within our system that should be addressed. The depth with which the system is designed to discriminate, however, cannot be fixed with any number of simple solutions. It would take constitutional amendments and the collective agreement of the people to make any meaningful changes.” Amir-Lobel’s sticker art represents the protests and struggles

of minorities and people who have been excluded and marginalized. “All the stickers are drawings of protesters at Black Lives Matter rallies and symbols of equality and togetherness,” she said. “I drew all the images digitally and I hand make them into stickers.” Of the importance of Black Lives Matter, the Country Day student said, “Racial justice is a cause that should be high on everyone’s priority list. Consider that while people of color make up only about 13% of the overall population of the United States, they simultaneously make up over 60% of the people behind bars. In the words of Desmond Tutu, ‘If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.’” Discussing her wide-ranging social activism, Amir-Lobel said, “I am one of the co-founders of the Female Empowerment and Education of Leaders (FEEL) club. We felt there was an absence of a direct representation of powerful women in our community. We also felt it was necessary to expand our views from solely what is shown in the media to the reality of what women can accomplish. “We are a group of capable women who want to make a meaningful impact.

e l l - k now n a nd loved Pacific Beach Italian restaurant owner-operator John Pernicano, 92, died in his sleep July 22 from cancer complications. A military veteran, John immigrated from Sicily to the States with his family. He and his brothers moved to San Diego from Detroit in 1946. John and his late brother George began working for a Hillcrest bar. “They needed food, so my brother figured, ‘We’ll put pizza in the place, just a little oven,’” Pernicano said noting he and his 10 siblings all ended up working there. “Four guys making pizzas, can you imagine?” John asked in an interview with Beach & Bay Press. “Then each brother got their own location and opened up their own place.” John subsequently built Pernicano’s at 711 Turquoise St. in North PB. “How many people like me have been here 65 years, and the family with four kids for 50 years?” asked John of his family's legacy of restaurants, that once numbered 10. It’s a well-told story that All Hallows Catholic Church in La Jolla held their religious services for a time in Pernicano’s while the Mt. Soledad church was under construction. “The altar was where the pizza counter is now,” said John. Of Pernicano, La Jolla architect

“It’s a different concept we’ve been thinking about for a while,” said Sara of Pastiamo. “It’s takeout and delivery, no dine-in, with just a few stools outside. It’s just fresh pasta. We make the pasta for both locations in the morning over there. It's the same quality used in the restaurant.” In business for five years at Oltre Mare, the eatery was formerly owned by Sara’s brother.“We took over and we changed everything, the menu, switching from more

John Pernicano
Tim Golba said, “I never heard anyone say a bad word about John and given the length of time he was in business, that says a lot.” John Pernicano was also a longtime Kiwanian. Mark McDonald, district secretary/executive director for the California, Nevada, Hawaii District of Kiwanis, remembers John well. “John was full of life, he would come to the Downtown Club and every one of those people knew him,” McDonald said. “He would come down often and bring his squeeze box (accordion) and a tuba player and play music. It was all those little things … you just laughed, just loved it. He was famous for his fundraisers at his restaurant. He would say, ‘I’ll sell the beverages at the bar, you can have all the pasta you want. I’ll donate the pasta.’”
“He was just a terrific guy,” continued MacDonald. “He was involved in many things downtown. He came to our club quite often.” About a year ago, John sold his business to a downtown restaurateur who planned to turn into into a Mexican breakfast place, then retired. But he told Beach & Bay Press it wasn’t by choice. “The kids want to retire. They don’t want to work no more,” John said back then. “Well, that’s okay. I didn’t want to deprive anyone.” If it had been up to him, John said he would have continued working seven days a week, sometimes performing on piano/ keyboards until 2 a.m. Of the reason for his longevity, John said: “This is a family restaurant. Everybody’s kids in La Jolla and PB were raised here. Everybody’s been raised with me. They’ve had their birthday parties here. I played Santa Claus. It was a tradition because I loved these kids. Little kids would play the piano with me and sing. That’s what kept me here 65 years.” Survivors include John’s wife of 68 years, Lena; his four children: Linda, Debbie, John Jr. and Marlene; daughter-in-law Kristen Pernicano; son-in-law Carl Parrick, and three grandchildren, Laura Pernicano, Lisa Pernicano, and Leanne Parrick. He is also survived by his only living brother, Angelo, of Las Vegas, who turned 100 this year.
take-out to more dining,” she said. Of her clientele, Sara said, “We have mostly families and older couples, though we do have young people coming in every now and then. Last night we had a wedding. We’ve built up loyal customers, mostly locals, who come back for a real authentic, Italian dinner.” Concerning pasta making, Sara noted, “It’s way easier than you think. Pasta is made with semolina flour and water to make six different types. That’s it. We make the pasta from scratch. It’s really good quality.” Italian food has several different
regional varieties. “We’re from the north where it’s colder, so we use more butter, wherein the south they use more olive oil,” Sara said. “Our menu is kind of northern Italian. Our best sellers are dishes with meat sauces, but we’re more focused on seafood and fish dishes, grilled and baked because there are fewer restaurants that serve this kind of food in San Diego. We have mussels to start in white wine sauce with spices and broth and Focaccia bread that everybody loves that I make every day.”

During his work as an architect each day, he leaves his computer to water and check on the tiny plants that he describes as “fragile” in their first year. Looking at the diminutive plants, it is difficult to imagine that in 60 years, they will be the towering trees that make Joshua Tree National Park’s landscape stunning and otherworldly. Craig’s journey into becoming the largest grower of Joshua trees outside of the park itself began when he and a friend took a trip to the national park to hike. “I came to appreciate the Joshua tree plants as unique and iconic. I looked into getting one for myself because I planned to purchase one [for] my garden. I found out that I couldn't find it anywhere,” Craig said. Craig turned to the internet after he discovered that nurseries do not carry the rare Joshua trees. He bought seeds off eBay and began to experiment with how to raise the plants – whether in sand, fertilizer, sun, etc.

The plants now inside his home garden are less than three years old, when his experiments began. As he developed a method to grow the plants from seeds, Craig learned that many scientists believe climate change and habitat loss will eventually wipe out the species. Drought and wildfires are also concerns. Recently, the California legislature was urged to add Joshua trees to the state endangered species list.
Craig realized that the national park was populated with the tall trees, some of them hundreds of years old, but lacked many of the baby and adolescent plants that ensure the species will have a future. The habitat has changed, so the less hardy young plants struggled to survive. “When I found out about this Joshua tree situation, I saw an opportunity to actually grow them and repurpose them,” Craig said.

He decided to try to help gardeners add the plants to their landscaping with the hopes of growing the species outside of the shrinking desert. He began to raise the trees to give them to others for a small fee. His seeds have a 75% success rate, much higher than what is possible in the wild. “Human intervention here is definitely worth it,” he said. Before this, he was an average gardener with many
succulents in his home. It was a minor hobby, not a passion that consumes much of his time. Under his careful hand, the seedlings grow about eight inches per year. Craig said in the initial years, they can be cared for like other small succulents. “Some people would say that’s very slow. The Joshua tree grows similar to other plants and other trees. I don't necessarily know why it gets that description,” Craig said. After six months of his care, Craig lets other people adopt the Joshua trees. He does this through the Mission Hills Nursery and his website, where he mails the plants across the U.S. So far, the plants are growing successfully in places like Florida and Boston, even with their climate being significantly different than California. Joshua trees can withstand cold and even need to freeze annually in order to flower, although they can be damaged if left in too cold an environment for too long while they are young. As he advertised these adoptions, Craig discovered many people believe myths about the endangered trees,
including that they can only grow in the desert area of the national park. Instead, one reason for the shrinking tree population is because of the increasingly dry and hot conditions of the desert. “Almost everybody thinks that the plant can only be grown in the natural environment, like in Joshua Tree National Park. It’s just not true,” Craig said. A common question he receives is why he is not focused on repopulating the park itself. Craig believes that is for other scientists to take care of. “My focus is in gardens and landscapes, not back into the wild,” he said. Since the project began, he has raised three-to-four thousand seeds into healthy plants. Craig is now ready for more people to adopt the plants. “If more people got interested in this and began growing them in their gardens, I think that we would be doing a good thing, in terms of saving the species,” Craig said.

Holding on or letting go: revisiting our numerous attachments Doing it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. As I get closer and closer to departing this planet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being in my mid-nineties is a warning bell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I look around and wonder what will I miss? Actually, this is a stupid question. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dead, I will obviously not miss anything. What is it that makes this so uncomfortable? It is not death itself; it is the leaving of people and things that have mattered. So I started wondering about attachments. There are several categories that I can think of: Attachments to people: My husband Herman and I were symbiotically attached to each other. We felt not like two people, but one unit. When he died, I felt like half of me had been torn away. I am attached to my daughter and grandchildren and sorry that I will not know my four great-grandsons as teenagers. I have had and still have strong attachments to friends; some have
been like a sister or brother. Attachments to animals: Our pets are our constant companions, and when they die, we, mourn them for a long time. Herman and I cried for days and were bereft for weeks when we had to put our dog down. I still miss her. Attachments to objects: Heirlooms are particularly meaningful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the bracelet my mother wore every day is a treasure linking me to her. When there is a fire or an earthquake and people can only grab one or two things, many take photo albums. The photos help keep the memories alive. As I look around my home, I recognize that I am attached to my dwelling in general and to objects in it in particular â&#x20AC;&#x201D; photos of my grandparents as well as all my grandchildren, my needlepoint pillows, books I will never reread, clothes I will never wear again, dishes I will never use, the little crystal ball Herman brought me from a trip. These are all an extension of my ego, part of me. I have imbued inanimate things with a life of their own. Children exhibit this attachment to a favorite blanket, a stuffed animal, or doll and are despondent when
they lose it. Attachments to memories and personal history: In trying to downsize, especially getting rid of my files, I am connected to my old Ph.D. thesis or some lovely student evaluations from a class I taught 40 years ago. If I pretend I am my daughter, or my grandchildren, looking at all this stuff, I realize that what is important to me is irrelevant to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandma was with Dr. Ruth. Who is Dr. Ruth?â&#x20AC;? So I am able to do away with the remnants of my past life by pretending I am not me. I found this strategy to be liberating, and I am passing it on to you, my readers. Attachments to places: It can be the country you were born in, the house you grew up in, your first home where the children were born. We are territorial animals, and we will fight for what we consider our territory and defend it. Attachments to ideas: This is a commitment to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of believing, excluding all other possibilities. It can be religion, politics, or philosophy. Letting go of beliefs is an important task when confronted with new contradictory evidence.

LA JOLLA STUDENT >> CONT. FROM PG. 12
In the time of the pandemic, I find a different kind of attachment. Attachment to our pre-coronavirus life: A time that may never return. We miss our connection to people, the freedom to go anywhere we wanted, eat in restaurants, or go to movies, the gym, beauty salons, or barber shops. As humans, our attachments help to define us. This time is an opportunity to take a closer look and gain clarity as to what is truly important to us. So it is time to let go, time to send off to family and friends some of my cherished treasures. I am giving each of my grandchildren one of my antique Russian lacquer boxes which belonged to my mother. Will her memory continue to live in her descendants? Nostalgia is painful. Giving away or tossing objects is losing the memory of those seemingly important events in our lives. I wonder how I will be remembered after I am gone? Natasha Josefowitz is the author of 21 books.

globally that are in need.â&#x20AC;? The high-school student said she is saving her essay cash award for college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have also been working as a tutor teaching virtual Spanish and Hebrew classes this summer to younger children and am saving up that money as well,â&#x20AC;? she added. Of the origin of her nonprofit, Amir-Lobel noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the Black Lives Matters protests this summer, I wanted to find a way to both raise awareness and raise money for the BLM cause. I began to draw images of protesters digitally for fun but soon realized that I could sell them as stickers if it meant that I could make even a little bit of an impact. I am still constantly working on expanding my reach and range of products. I am selling my stickers on Etsy. com (https://www.etsy.com/ listing/835657917/black-livesmatter-stickers-100-of?ref=listings_manager_grid. Concerning her career aspirations, Amir-Lobel confided: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am still figuring out what my goals are. I know that whatever I do, it is important to me that it has significance and allows me the platform to help others.â&#x20AC;?
