Rape trial of La Jolla restaurant owner to begin

Opening statements and testimony will start Monday, Dec. 2 in the rape trial of Daniel Dorado, a former Italian restaurant owner in La Jolla where some women have testified they were sexually assaulted after passing out.

An eight man, four woman jury and four alternate jurors were sworn in Nov. 21 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Rogers after several days of jury selection.

Deputy District Attorney Jessica Coto said the case is in recess during Thanksgiving week since most folks are busy, but the trial will start the first Monday after Thanksgiving.

Dorado, 61, was the owner of Voce Del Mare on La Jolla Blvd. before the restaurant closed after his arrest on March 28, 2018. Eight women have alleged he sexually assaulted them inside the restaurant, in La Jolla hotels, or his residence.

All of the women, aged 5722, claimed they drank some type of wine or champagne that Dorado gave them that caused them to become intoxicated to the point of passing out. His restaurant and home were searched, but no type of drug was found that could have been placed in their drinks.

Some of the alleged incidents go back years. Two women said they met Dorado on a dating website, and others said they were job applicants. Most of them said they threw up and were embarrassed.

A new resource is available for UC San Diego students: mobile food pantries. Setting up once a week in various “neighborhoods” around campus, the vans are stocked with a free selection of produce and non-perishables from the main Triton Food Pantry.

Though the main pantry is open every day, it can be difficult for students to cross the sprawling campus to get there. Pop-up pantries provide convenient access to fresh, healthy food near dorms or classes, said basic needs coordinator Alicia Magallanes.

One-quarter of college students experience food insecurity each week, and 36% were housing insecure last year. During Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week in November, several events

Attracted by the delicious smell and the iconic white hat, more than 80 students lined up for chef Vaughn Vargas’s pad Thai interactive cooking demonstrations, complete with hot wok. He showed students how to cook noodles and upgrade the meal’s nutritional value with budget-friendly stirfry veggies.

“The food pantry gets organic produce donated from Leucadia Farmers Market,” said Magallanes, “it’s beautiful.” Fruits and vegetables also come from the student-led Food Recovery Net-

News 2 LJVMA discusses how to promote La Jolla Shores Association discusses Kellogg Park security Village during the holidays FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2019

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS Andy Field, newly appointed City Parks and Recreation Department director, visited La Jolla Shores Association Nov. 13 to fill community planners in on latest developments with Kellogg Park security and other shoreline parks issues.

Field defined shoreline parks as “everything on the beach in the interface area between the shoreline and the water.” He noted, “We only have two park rangers covering 13 miles of shoreline from Sunset Cliffs through La Jolla.”

Fields pointed out LJSA’s parks coverage area includes Cliffridge Park near Torrey Pines Elementary School and the La Jolla YMCA, and Allen Field soccer and baseball fields at 3908 Torrey Pines Road.

Marilyn Stern, district manager for City parks, noted Cliffridge “is operated and maintained by nonprofit organizations, not City staff. We’re very grateful to have nonprofits doing that, but they may not have daily knowledge of everything that goes on there.”

Field noted Laureate (Mata), the public pocket park on Avenida de la Playa between Paseo del Ocaso and El Paseo Grande, is also a part of the Shores shoreline park mix.

“Laureate is just a passive lawn area that doesn’t have much in the way of park amenities,” noted Field adding, “You can’t build or put anything on it, like swing sets because there’s a sewer pump station on the property.”

Turning to Kellogg Park, there have been security issues there for some time with the parking lot not always being locked as required at 10 p.m., and with park users staying after-hours and driving on the lawns. LJSA planners have been concerned, pointing out there are four sides to Kellogg Park that vehicles can escape through.

They’ve proposed that a combination of benches, sculptures, trees or large rocks could be used to shut down vehicular access after-hours.

“We would like to try and have some kind of barrier there to prevent people from driving out of the parking lot,” said LJSA board member Ross Rudolph. “We need a sign saying, vehicles left in the parking lot may be cited and towed.”

“We have peace officers going in there a couple of times a week and citing large vehicles that are left there, but they can’t do that on a regular basis,” said LJSA chair Janie Emerson. “Right now they don’t have the people to do that.”

“We could put additional trees and boulders in the parking lot between the street and the parking lot and put in bollards,” suggested Field. “That would prevent people from driving on the turf.”

“Rather than bollards, I’d like to see more boulders,” said LJSA board member Mary Coakley Munk. “If you put boulders on top of turf, they won’t be able to go around it.”

Responding to LJSA board member Terry Kraszewski’s query about the use of Roundup weed killer in shoreline parks, which is alleged to be carcinogenic, Field replied, “We’re looking into a pilot study using more natural chemicals to suppress weeds. We’re going to be using that in some inland and shoreline parks, and if it suppresses the weeds, we’ll expand it elsewhere in the City.”

In other action: City senior civil engineer Ana Del Rincon told community planners utilities undergrounding of Block 1J in the Shores “will underground four miles of overhead lines and include 28 new ADA curb ramps.” Del Rincon said undergrounding is anticipated to be finished by summer 2020. LJSA chair Emerson warned Shores seniors are concerned about having access to their dwellings blocked. Del Rincon assured her there will be proper notification with door hangars listing emergency numbers to be contacted.

Holiday Worship Guide 2019

The November discussion at the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) meeting turned to December and how to promote the Village during the year-end holidays.

LJVMA also took action to “adopt” the La Jolla Open Water Swim, a signature La Jolla event revived this year based on a popular past community swim event that had been canceled for a couple of years due to past La Jolla Cove pollution.

LJVMA Executive Director Jodi Rudick noted the group’s next meeting on Dec. 11 will be its annual strategic planning workshop to develop new and improved ideas on how to better promote and market business, while attracting more customers to the downtown Village.

On Nov. 13, Rudick passed out a flyer promoting the La Jolla Village holiday decorating contest and event calendar. All LJVMA merchants have been asked to share their public holiday events, parties, receptions, etc.

Rudick said the holiday decorating contest this year will offer prizes for best overall display, best La Jolla theme and other surprise categories. Decorating contest rules are at www.lajollabythesea.com with event registration at tiny url.com/ jolladays2019.

Officially begun with an LJVMA booth at the October La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, Enjoya La Jolla is a promotional card program, partnering with La Jolla High School Foundation, involving a “passport” from participating merchants granting members special offers, discounts and prizes.

Rudick said the initial response to the Enjoya La Jolla discount card has been encouraging.

“Right now, we have 59 merchants on the card,” she said, adding 250 people have thus far purchased it.

LJVMA President Brett Murphy commented on inheriting the La Jolla Open Water Swim, which debuted in September. “It’s a great event and we were approached by La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. because they needed a good partner,”

he said. “One goal would be to get people down at the cove back up to eat or whatever [in the Village] once the event is over. Our big goal would be to make it a LJVMA signature event.”’

LJVMA would assist with swim marketing and management, while the event would continue to be produced by the park’s board and race director, Judy Halter. Another partner, La Jolla Kiwanis Club, could be brought on board to do community outreach and fundraising. Proceeds from this year’s first swim are being used as seed money to begin a summer concert series in Scripps Park in 2020.

In other action: John Unbewust, general manager of Enhance La Jolla, updated the board on the new maintenance assessment district (MAD), which went into effect Oct. 1. He noted the MAD has worked with the city forester to have eucalyptus tree branches hanging over the Athenaeum roof trimmed. “Those are the kinds of things we can make sure happen,” said Unbewust.

“We’re developing a relationship will all of the divisions within the city on various aspects of city services, which over time will benefit the Village.”

TRIAL >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

The first alleged incident occurred in 2009, and other assaults allegedly happened in 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018. Charges were filed after the last incident after an Orange County woman said she had driven down to meet Dorado in the restaurant after contacting him on a dating website.

The 27 charges allege rape, rape of an unconscious person, forcible oral copulation, digital penetration, felony sexual battery, and assault with intent to commit rape.

Dorado has denied all the charges and he has pleaded not guilty. He has not publicly said anything about the case. It isn’t known yet what evidence his attorney will present or if he will testify in his own defense.

He has changed attorneys several times, but they have all said the charges are not true.

One former attorney said Dorado was “completely stunned” by the charges and looked forward to getting his day in court and clearing his name.

Dorado was in jail five months before he posted $900,000 bond in September 2018. His bond condition specifies that Dorado cannot drink alcohol. He is divorced and his daughter and son-in-law attended his 2-day preliminary hearing.

The trial is estimated to last two weeks.

News 4 Boom! Fourth of July fireworks may return at La Jolla Cove FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2019

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS After a 32-year run and then a two-year hiatus, the Fourth of July fireworks display at La Jolla Cove is back by popular demand.

“We have formed a committee consisting of a longtime partner in the show Darcy Ashley (charitable nonprofit La Jolla Town Foundation), Brett Murphy (La Jolla Sporting Club), Steve Gray (Grady Development) and former San Diego city manager Jack McGrory,” said Deborah Marengo, who spearheaded the La Jolla signature event for years.

“Where we are today is that we have pulled permits for the 2020

show and begun fundraising. As of today, we have commitments of $32,000.”

Due to ongoing fundraising issues that previously plagued the event, La Jolla’s annual pyrotechnic display was finally forced to cancel following the 2017 display.

“Having had the pleasure of organizing the fireworks display for 10 years, it was heartbreaking to have to cancel the show for lack of funding two years ago,” noted Marengo. “During that time I heard from many fellow La Jollans that they wanted to see the show return.”

For its first quarter-century, the annual La Jolla Cove fireworks display, begun by La Jolla restaurateur George Hauer in 1985, went almost without a hitch. Then came legal challenges alleging environmental damage to the ocean from the annual coastal, one-day pyrotechnic display.

After Hauer stepped back relinquishing control of the event, it was saved by the formation of a grassroots group, the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation. Spearheaded by Marengo, LJCFF struggled for years to raise the approximately $60,000 — and rising — cost of staging an annual community fireworks display.

La Jolla Village Merchants Association, the community’s business improvement district, took over the fireworks extravaganza in 2015 and had been working with Marengo to keep the event afloat until funding problems caused its indefinite closure.

“We have a long way to go,” admitted Marengo of reviving Cove fireworks. She noted, “The cost of the show was approximately $60,000 two years ago, and the estimated cost has increased significantly due to rising costs from our vendors. Most notable is the cost of the fireworks, which now exceeds $10,000 due to the trade tariffs. We

Town Council holds debate for District 1 City Council seat

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS A civil engineer, an attorney, a retired firefighter, an innovation specialist, a public safety community activist, a federal government staffer and a small-business entrepreneur squared off in a debate for the District 1 City Council seat being vacated by San Diego mayoral candidate Barbara Bry in 2020.

trict 1 seat because “I’m dissatisfied with how the city is being run.” He added his experience as an ex-city employee “gives me a unique perspective on the issues facing the city making public safety a primary focus for city government.”

Civil engineer Joe LaCava has been building his resume as a community planner and activist for the past decade. “I’m very proud of the work I’ve done over the years in La Jolla as a part-time volunteer,” he said. “We need a change down at City Hall, and I want to work fulltime on the issues we care about.”

Attorney Will Moore, who helps small business owners in his law practice said, “I want to help them down at City Hall. The major issues in town are not being addressed.”

Innovation specialist Harid Puentes, who has worked with venture startups, stressed in his introduction the importance of San Diego as a high-tech haven. “I want to make sure we maintain that,” he said.

Public safety activist Rodolico said, “I’ve been a pro-bono community advocate for the past 35 years and I know how to deal with government, which takes a long time.”

are currently focused on a budget of $110,000 to produce the show and secure a deposit for 2021 fireworks.”

Added Marengo, “Our goal is to continue the show from here on out. This can only be done with the community coming together and raising the funds needed to continue this tradition. Once we have secured the involvement of a ‘sponsoring organization,’ which is in the works, we will be seeking donations.”

For questions about the event or to donate contact dmarengo@ me.com or darcys01@hotmail.com.

Marengo said a fireworks update will be provided in mid-December.

From the family that owns Harry’s Coffee Shop, James Rudolph said he previously worked in both the state Legislature and in Washington, D.C. “I’ve been a public servant for many years and I’m proud of that,” he said noting his political toolbox “does not come with dogmatic ideas. I want to look at approaches other cities have tried in solving our problems.”

Small business entrepreneur Zhou said she is running “because I want to bring changes, make a difference and get things done.”

Susan G. Komen 3-Day raises funds to fight breast cancer

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS Arriving at base camp in Crown Point at dusk on Friday, Nov. 15, Jim Hillmann from San Jose, in the midst of his Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk, reflected on why he returns year after year.

“I’m here because my mom passed away from breast cancer in 2004,” Hillmann said, noting San Diego’s Komen Walk is the closest of the seven national regional walks he’s done every year for the past 12.

Hillmann said the Komen walk is a transformative experience.

“You come out here as a first-time walker, and it doesn’t take long before you realize, ‘I’m part of a bigger community, a community that is here to support each other,’ ” he said. “By the time you're done with three days and 60 miles, you’ve made connections, and now you start feeling the power of that community — and the synergy that comes from that.”

The pink-themed, anti-breast cancer, three-day walk is no small feat, any way you look at it.

“You’re required to raise $2,300 for every walk,” said Hillmann, adding, “And if you walk multiple cities, it’s $2,300 each walk, $16,100 for all seven.”

Hillman hosts four fundraisers — a Bunko parlor game, collecting recyclables, an Oakland A’s baseball game and sales from a commemorative coin and pin —that collective-

ly pay for all seven of his Komen walks.

Hillman said, on day one of the Komen walk, which starts in Del Mar and ends in downtown San Diego three days later, that he saw a woman in tears whom he described as “overwhelmed.”

“We were there to pick her up, talk with her and support her,” he added.

Outfitted with a team shirt, badges, ribbons, buttons and all manner of Komen memorabilia, Hillman pointed out that it’s a real sense of accomplishment for him to walk 420 miles in seven cities over 21 days between August and the end of November.

“Every time I walk, at the end, it is just as powerful as the time before,” noted Hillmann. “You’ve accomplished something. You’ve shared your story with new people; they’ve shared their stories. It never gets old for me.”

People have asked Hillman, “How can you do so many walks, and why do you keep coming back?”

To that, he responds, “Because there is so much that I can get out of it. There’s a difference you’ve made, an impact.”

Should more people be doing the Komen walk?

“Absolutely,” answered Hillmann.

“When you see the impact you’re making you go, ‘Whoa, This is what it’s all about.’ By the end of day two, they’re ready to register. ‘Sign me up for year two.’ ”

Concluded Hillman of the Komen walk experience: “It’s a life-changer.”

KOMEN 3-DAY WALK RAISES $7 MILLION This past weekend, more than 2,000 participants completed the journey of a lifetime at the Susan G. Komen San Diego 3-Day. Together, passionate women and men walked 60-miles over the course of three days in the fight for a world without breast cancer, raising $5.7 million. The Komen 3-Day is the longest distance one can go in the fight against breast cancer. These men and women each raised a minimum of $2,300 and walked 20 miles a day for three consecutive days, all while educating tens of thousands of people about breast health.

The proceeds will support the mission of Susan G. Komen by funding breakthrough research and efforts to ensure all people receive the best health care they need. To date, $140.7 million has been raised in the area through the Komen San Diego 3-Day. “We cannot thank our amazing 3-Day family enough for their time and dedication to this cause,” said Carrie Stovall, Susan G. Komen vice president of events. “Every step they take and every dollar they raise gets us closer to our bold goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by 50 percent by 2026. San Diego has been so

supportive of Susan G. Komen and it’s always an incredible experience to host the 3-Day in this city. San Diego, we thank you!”

Participants of the 3-Day have trained and fundraised for several months in preparation for the event, which fosters lifelong friendships and memories while providing the community a moving opportunity to honor those who have battled and for those who continue to fight breast cancer. Participants spent the weekend walking through the San

Diego area before concluding with a moving closing ceremony at Waterfront Park.

“The 3-Day is all about raising money and spreading awareness,” said 12 ½ year survivor and ninetime walker Debbie Feinberg. “Even if you can’t complete the full 60 miles, you can walk one day for 20 miles or even walk portions of the weekend, it’s all worth it because, in the end, it’s the sense of community and inspiration for survivors, those battling and future generations.”

Update your home décor quickly dramatically with window treatments Most homeowners are looking for ways to upgrade their home décor quickly and dramatically.

One of the most overlooked pieces of home décor are the window treatments, which can alter your interior design more than you may realize. Take a look at these tips to see how you can update your home without compromising your style.

A Stylish Upgrade

Drapery is an easy way for any homeowner to layer onto existing window treatments bringing

new life to an old look. It can also stand on its own and adds visual warmth and texture to any room.

Drapery brings a variety of visual aspects to the space.

Energy Efficiency

Homeowners are always on the lookout for ways to save money, and the monthly gas/electric bill can be a sore spot. Start saving with window treatments that keep your home well insulated.

Drapery is great at controlling the amount of light that enters a room.

During the summer, light

entering a home will heat the interior and cause the energy costs to rise. Closing drapes during the day can reduce those costs because drapery acts as an additional layer of insulation. Drapery also acts as a barrier from the outside temperature during the cold winter months. No matter the season, drapery is the perfect way to help keep you comfortable inside, regardless of what the weather is doing outside.

you look out your window and see someone else looking back in at you. Having control of who is seeing into your home is something that you need to account for. Before you say your windows are private enough, think about them at night. Once the sun goes down, and it starts to get dark, any light on in your home makes it easier to see in. With light filtering options you can determine the level of light entering or leaving your windows, Privacy allowing you to be able to Sometimes, privacy can see out without unwanted be an afterthought until eyes peering in. Because of

the variety of fabrics available, drapery is a stylish way to keep your home to your eyes only.

News Group suing City over new vehicle habitation ordinance

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS An attorney representing people living out of their vehicles claims the City’s safe parking lots program is inadequate, while legally challenging the City’s new Vehicle Habitation Ordinance as being unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, the City defended its safe parking lots program, noting it was a step forward when a public outcry over health and safety concerns over vehicle habitation on public streets forced the drafting of a new ordinance banning vehicle occupation.

“We have asked the court to amend our complaint in our lawsuit to add the new vehicle habitation ordinance,” said Ann Menasche, senior attorney with Disability Rights California. “We think we have a good chance of winning in court.”

Claiming the new VHO is “worse than the first,” Menasche said nine of 11 of her clients who signed on to the suit challenging the ordinance have since been cited for violating it.

“Not one of them has been offered housing,” Menasche said. “The city has made things worse by taking people’s vehicles. Stop impounding vehicles and throwing people in the street with the clothes on their back.”

Of the new City VHO, Menasche said: “It’s very rigid. It’s very patronizing. It doesn’t solve anything.”

Keely Halsey, the City’s chief of homelessness strategies, defended San Diego’s safe lots program. The program allows people living out

of RVs and other vehicles to legally spend the night in three designated parking lots on Balboa Avenue, off Aero Drive, and on Friars Road across from Qualcomm Stadium, all run by Jewish Family Services of La Jolla.

“We’re pleased with the results of our safe parking program, which has definitely served a segment of the homeless population,” said Halsey.

“That program has served families and children of people who’ve fallen into homelessness due to economic issues. It has filled a gap that we’ve become aware of in the last few years in the City.”

Halsey said the City’s Real Estate Assets Department is searching for new safe parking lots sites, should the need arise. She added the City is also open to any private individuals who might step forward offering their own properties for the safe-lots program.

“We would love to talk to anybody offering their properties any time,” said Halsey.

Between 2017 and the present, Halsey noted “over 1,500 individuals have been served in the safe lots program including 300 children, and over 200 of those children have exited the program to permanent housing or other long-term, stable housing. We’ve also worked with individuals to increase their income through case management services and job training.”

There are presently between 200 and 320 spaces in the City’s three

current safe parking lots administered by JFS. Halsey said those safe lots have mobile office trailers for caseworkers, access to restrooms and all of them have hand-washing stations. People living out of their vehicles are allowed in safe parking lots from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.

In February, the City Council repealed its old VHO after a federal judge found it unconstitutional and halted all enforcement. The new VHO was approved by the City Council on May 14 following a backlash from residents complaining of unsanitary conditions and security issues regarding residents residing on city streets. A vehicle is considered inhabited if there is evidence of sleeping, bathing or meal preparation there.

Under the new VHO, people are not allowed to sleep in their cars on public streets from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Menasche said the City’s new VHO makes anyone having a pillow, blanket or some food or water in their vehicles a criminal. She noted the VHO also bars vehicle inhabitants from legally inhabiting “90% or more of the city,” because the ordinance precludes those vehicles from being located within 500 feet of a home or school.

“It is illegal for those sheltered in RVs or cars to be in most places in the city day or night,” said Menasche.

“People are being treated as criminals because they are poor when what they really need is housing that is affordable.”

BIRD SCOOTER REPRESENTATIVE DISCUSSES PROPER ETIQUETTE

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS Bird micro-mobility representatives are making the rounds of local community groups giving residents a birdseye view on proper electric scooter etiquette.

“We’re giving a grand overview of the universe from Bird’s perspective,” said Maurice A. Henderson II, Bird’s director of government partnerships of his mission. “We (Bird) invented the space for scooter sharing and we were the first ones, as far as I know, in this market.”

Henderson offered statistics reflecting micro-mobility’s large and growing share of the San Diego transportation marketplace.

“Fifty-plus percent of our riders polled recently used scooters as a commuting tool,” he said.

“Twenty-seven percent of the trips they used to take on Ubers and Lyfts and taxis are now scooters. People are using it as a part of their commute home, as opposed to getting in their car in rush hour.”

Added Henderson: “Our spike in ridership now usually starts on Friday afternoon between 3 and 7 p.m. People are now starting their weekends, Saturday mornings, taking Bird rides.”

Bird is all in on encouraging its riders to wear helmets, obey the City’s new scooter regulations and to educate riders on proper etiquette and rules of the road on Bird Rides app available on iPhone and Android. Riders, to get started: Download the app and enter their credit card information, find a Bird using the map feature, bring a helmet and wear it, tap the Unlock icon to choose their Bird, then put one foot on the Bird and use the other to give themselves a couple of pushes (like a regular scooter or skateboard).

“One of the first things you see when you open our app, besides no riding on sidewalks, is the message to obey the rules of the road and to wear a helmet,” pointed out Henderson, noting, “We’ve given away 65,000 free helmets over the last couple of years. We offer free helmets via the app that you can order for a $10 shipping cost.”

Concerning Bird customer service, Henderson said, “We’re an operator who actually has an operations team that’s out there.”

Bird also has devised a way for riders, or even non-riders, to report illegal scooter use to the company.

Affordable housing proposed for former 76 Unocal site

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS High-end condos are turning into something more affordable and more transit-oriented at the vacant 76 Unocal gas station on Pearl Street in La Jolla.

But the project’s new developer is encountering stiff neighborhood opposition.

Real estate developer David Bourne assumed control of the project at 801 Pearl St. from Mark Conger earlier this year. The project has since morphed from 12 condos, four retail spaces, and an underground parking garage into 26 smaller apartments averaging 600 square feet.

The new dwelling units would be fully furnished and start at $1,800 per month. The project includes two affordable units onsite going for under $1,000.

The previous Conger project was approved by the City Planning Commission in August. Bourne is arguing his new project is better all around than his predecessor’s.

“The proposed project will generate far fewer daily trips than the former gas station, and about the same as the previously approved 12-condo project (that included 50% more commercial space),” said Bourne on social media. “Parking will be available for 23 cars and accessed only from Eads. Compared to the previous gas station, no cars will be able to directly join fast-moving traffic on Pearl Street representing a significant improvement in traffic flow and safety.”

Added Bourne: “The target market tenant will live and work in the village, with 30% of tenants expected to use ride-sharing services and not own a car. Unfortunately, the person (Conger) who was going to develop the two-thirds bedroom condo project with 50% more retail space and $2 million underground parking couldn’t make it pencil, hence the new project.”

Contends Bourne, “This section of Pearl has too much traffic noise for $1.5 million condos to sell successfully, which is why so much of

the nearby real estate is obsolete and unattractive. The proposed project is clearly the highest and best use for this shuttered gas station site. It will be a pride of ownership project for the developer and the community.”

Bourne said an expensive underground parking garage as previously envisioned “is completely unnecessary for this project.”

Previous Pearl mixed-use project owner Mark Conger said he was “set to go” after the City Planning Commission green-lighted his 12-condo project with retail in front and housing in the rear. But he said other aspects of his project presented an insurmountable obstacle.

“It was difficult to pencil out because of the alarming amount of parking that all had to be underground,” Conger said. “That would have cost $2 million by itself. So, right from the start, it put you in a big hole.”

Not a developer but the owner of three other gas stations, Conger added, “I never intended to build it.

I marketed it to the developers, and

The former 76 Unocal site on Pearl Street.

David (Bourne) was the one who was interested, though he had different ideas on what he wanted to do with it than me.”

But Bourne’s new condo project is proving to be a hard sell, as more than a dozen neighbors turned out earlier this month to express their displeasure — and concerns — about it.

Neighbors complained about the project’s density, its perceived lack of parking and its potential adverse traffic impact to La Jolla’s downtown Village.

Karina’s Ceviche & More to take place of closing Saffron Thai

By SAMANTHA WEBSTER | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS Saffron Thai, the Thai food destination on Torrey Pines Road, recently closed. Opening in its place will be Karina’s Mexican Seafood, a beachy restaurant that will offer traditional Mexican cuisine.

Saffron Thai has been a San Diego establishment since the inception of its Mission Hills location in 1985. This location, located at 3731 India St., is still in business. Saffron Thai’s La Jolla location opened in late 2018; and in fall 2016, Saffron Thai’s original owner, Su Mei Yu, sold the restaurant to the owner of Karina’s Restaurant Group, David Contreras.

“While we were able to develop a solid customer following in La Jolla for Saffron Thai over the past year, we felt the location’s potential was not being fully maximized with the concept,” says Contreras.

“As a result, we believe our Karina’s concept may be a better fit for the La Jolla market and beach vibe given the menu’s heavy seafood influence and the popularity of Mexican cuisine in the area.”

In 1981, Contreras’s parents, Arnulfo Contreras and María Inés Curiel, opened the first Karina’s in Spring Valley. The couple named the restaurant in honor of their daughter, and David Contreras’s sister, Karina.

Since 1981, Karina’s Restaurant Group has expanded across San Diego and has eateries in locations like Mission Hills, Bonita, and National City. After more than 35 years of business, the Contreras-Curiel family still prioritizes a strong sense of ‘familia’ in each Karina’s restaurant.

“Karina’s was founded on the idea of offering fresh Mexican seafood specialties and traditional family cuisine made to make

everyone feel like familia,” says Contreras.

Slated to open in early 2020, Karina’s Restaurant Group will open a fast-casual Karina's Ceviche & More in the former Saffron Thai location. This will be Karina’s Restaurant Group’s second Ceviche & More location; the first is in Mission Hills. The La Jolla restaurant will be complete with counter-service for dine in or take out, and its menu will feature traditional favorites such as ceviches, tacos, burritos, seafood cocktails, and more.

With the opening of Karina’s Ceviche & More, the restaurant group is looking forward to introducing their authentic Mexican seafood cuisine to the La Jolla area.

“We’d like to invite the La Jolla community to come and experience our delicious Mexican seafood specialties in a fun and casual setting,” says Contreras.

Karina’s Ceviches & More will bring fresh seafood options and traditional Mexican cuisine to La Jolla.

Dick’s Liquor buys Wine Time, reopening set for Dec. 1

By DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS Dick’s Liquor has purchased Wine Time down the street and is remodeling it with plans to reopen Dec. 1.

South Korean-native Kay Chae, previous owner of Wine Time at 7474 Pearl St., has retired and sold his business to Adam Barno, owner of Dick’s Liquor at 737 Pearl St. since 2003.

“We’re going to keep Dick’s Liquor and take over the Wine Time site with its deli,” said Barno, who added his new location will allow him “to provide alcohol and anything you need — beer, wine mixers, cheese plates, even cups — for an event, a party or gathering.”

Barno said work is underway to install new floors and shelving in Wine Time in preparation for a Sunday, Dec. 1 grand opening.

“Mostly we’re going to really expand,” said Barno of the reason behind acquiring Wine Time.

“He had a great wine selection, and we’re going to expand that with spirits and beer. We’ll have a larger selection of tequilas and single-malt Scotches.”

Barno noted he plans to add a humidor and a big selection of cigars at Wine Time benefiting both local and out-of-town guests.

“I love La Jolla and La Jolla has been good to us,” said Barno noting Dick’s Liquor, which he’s

owned for 16 years, has been in existence since 1952.

“It’s always been a liquor store,” Barno said. “It was started by Dick Dickson, who was a fire chief at one point.

He had a deli inside this store and had wine tastings and catered to parties up on the hill.”

Barno noted combining both Dick’s Liquor and Wine Time will allow customers to shop locally without having to “drive off to the big chains. We’d like to do volume on smaller margins. We’re not trying to have bottles on the shelves

for 10 years. We want to turn things over.”

Added Barno, “We are going to have specials for our grand opening.”

Barno is also seeking a third location to expand into later somewhere in the La Jolla area.

DAVE SCHWAB / VILLAGE NEWS

Adam Barno, owner of Dick’s Liquor across the street from the Unocal site, is adopting a wait-andsee attitude toward Bourne’s new mixed-use project there.

“I don’t know what to expect,” Barno admitted. “We’re always worried about parking here in La Jolla.

At the same time, with increased units bringing more people, it could succeed and be good for business.

We want whatever is best for our community, whether it be for the residents or the businesses.”

DEBATE >> CONT. FROM PG. 4

“They are currently illegal per the City Attorney,” said Brennan. “I would support issuance of a cease-and-desist letter to all STVR companies until such time that council can pass an ordinance that legalizes them.”

“The city's zoning code is very clear: short-term vacation rentals are not allowed in residential neighborhoods,” said LaCava. “I am the only District 1 candidate endorsed by Save San Diego Neighborhoods, the organization that stands against the commercialization of our neighborhoods from vacation rentals.”

“As we try to address our city's housing shortage, we can't sit by while our efforts are negated by housing units being taken off the market to become vacation rentals,” said Moore. “The city should mandate that short-term vacation rentals are for primary residences only.”

“We need to enforce existing municipal code that prohibits short-term vacation rentals in residential zones,” said Puentes. “Homeowners living onsite should be allowed to rent their extra rooms as an alternative income stream.

However speculators looking to create pop-up hotels should not be allowed to circumvent existing zoning laws.”

“First get enforcement paid for and get a full inventory of units,” said Rodolico. “Identify hot spots where there is too much density and possibly buy back licenses.”

“We're talking about managing the growth of STVRs and protecting and preserving our communities,” said Rudolph. I would regulate STVRs. My regulations: the unit must be your primary residence, the proximity of STVRs in a neighborhood would be limited, a permit would be required, and the owner would have to register as a business and pay taxes.”

“I do not believe in short-term rentals in our community,” said Zhou. “I will work with my colleagues and mayor to support the decisions of our community.”

BLUE OCEAN ROBATA & SUSHI BAR A grill fueled by hardwood charcoal sits at the heart of La Jolla’s

new Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar. The kitchen is headed by chef-owner James Pyo, a native of Korea who initially opened Love Boat Sushi in Oceanside as well as another Blue Ocean sushi house in Carlsbad.

In addition to a number of crafty salads and sushi rolls, the menu extends to dishes cooked on the grill (robato) such as ribs, pork belly, wagyu beef meatballs, and eggplant. The new venture shares space with Harumama Noodles and Buns, which is also owned by Pyo. 1250 Prospect St., 858-9990323, blueoceanrobatasushi.com.

RUBIO’S COASTAL GRILL Langostino lobsters have made their annual return at all locations of Rubio’s Coastal Grill, including those in Pacific Beach and Point Loma. The shellfish, which is technically related to hermit crabs, shows up as bite-size pieces in tacos, burritos, and bowls at this time of year.

Trawled off the coast of Chile, the items are available through Jan. 2. The locally-based taco chain was founded in 1983 as a walk-up stand in Mission Bay and has been sourcing the langostino for more than 20 years. rubios.com.

13 LJCDS boys water polo talk sacrifice and strength

By ED PIPER | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS Some words come to mind after spending time with three senior captains of the La Jolla Country Day boys water polo team: strength and nobility.

“We have our core covenants: SPFL — sacrifice, pain, failure, love.

We all sacrifice something to be at practice. We failed last year to go as far as we wanted in the playoffs,” says Daniel Hotson, a driver on the 4-5 (right) side of the goal. “So we came in this year with a chip on our shoulder.”

“We want to love what we do, and love everyone we play with,” continues head coach Steve Traverso, in his 13th year, a span that started on a rough note when LJCDS had to practice at four different venues. He admits, “It was tough to get kids to come out.”

This season, culture in place, a care for senior down through freshman, according to goalkeeper Matthew Tibbetts, the Torreys were 17-7 at one point and working together. “We have a bond,” says Tibbetts. “We do things outside water polo to build that. In tournaments at Diamond Bar and Chino Hills, we had different room assignments each time at the hotels.”

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2019 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

“And no one complained,” chimes in Hotson.

“We have a very open dialogue here,” says Traverso, a sixth-grade history teacher at the school, who prefers his players call him by his first name. “One night we won a game but it was way closer than it should have been. I started to focus on the negative. After the From left: senior captains Daniel Hotson, game, I apologized to the Austin Yang, and Matthew Tibbetts of the team, and they received it.” LJCDS boys water polo team.

La Jolla Country Day School’s cross-country team collects items from community runs

By ED PIPER | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS “The wall” holds a prominent place in coach Scott Sanders’ history classroom, room 102.

“Last year, we were running in the UCSD eucalyptus grove. I found this painting on the ground,” says Andrew Kuhn, a junior on La Jolla Country Day School’s cross-country team. “Then we started bringing back things we found on runs.”

A handful of the 19 other boys have filed into the coach’s classroom after last period. There are eight girls on Sanders’ team, as well. The wall has swelled to include several hubcaps — “Hey, that’s from my car,” jokes a visitor — and the painting has since acquired a frame.

Of particular interest is a participant’s ribbon marked “Free Spirit Condors Invitational.”

“We don’t know what a ‘Condors Invitational’ is,” chimes in another team member. “We could Google it, but if we don’t know, it kind of keeps the mystique.”

Paul Criado, a sophomore who enjoys history — “In APUSH (Advanced Placement U.S. History), we just covered the ‘Era of Good Feeling’ after the War of 1812, the Monroe Administration” —is another welcoming voice.

“Hopefully, what you see is relationships,” says Sanders, who returns after changing out of his teacher garb to run with his team and assistant coach John Hill. “Over my 19 years as head coach and two as assistant, we have good teams

and not-as-good teams. You hope they also learn training methods, and so forth.”

The Torrey runners, about 25 on this day, will head across the street to the park at the Jewish Community Center for warm-ups, then out toward the eucalyptus grove two miles away —formally called the “UCSD Par Course” — in different groups at varying speeds.

Walter Chen, a junior who has attended Country Day since preschool, explains with Kuhn, “There are different paces. There’s a ‘conversation pace,’ where you run at a speed that you can converse. There are other paces, including ‘race pace.’

“If we have a demanding workout one day, the next day we won’t run as intense a pace,” clarifies Chen.

Reasons for different groups at varying speeds include “how fit they are, or if they’re coming off an injury,” offers Kuhn, who favors math in school.

The big discussion today, outside of the items on the wall, has to do with what’s listed as part of the daily workout posted on Sanders’ classroom door: the hill at UCSD. From some, it gets a groan when they spot it.

Last year, Ilaria Comfort (now a senior) finished seventh and Jenna Hernandez (now a junior) finished 14th in the CIF sectional meet to qualify for the state meet. On the boys side, “We are much improved over last year,” says coach Sanders, “but unfortunately so are many of the teams in our league (including Francis Parker and Santa Fe Christian) and division.”

“Sophomores Paul Criado, Jake Needle, and Aidan Ideker are showing a lot of improvement. Juniors Daven Gujral and Andrew Kuhn are coming into good racing form. Junior R.J. Parry is new but improving quickly. Freshman John Guckian is poised for some fast races.”

Community Our need to stay connected to our ancestors and descendants Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D.

FOOD >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

Needs Center, next to the main food pantry. The Hub, which opened in winter 2018, coordinates efforts across multiple partner organizations so students can learn about — and access — housing and food assistance.

When transfer student Angel Brito came to UC San Diego in 2017, the food pantry stood out to him during a campus tour. Now he works as a CalFresh assistant at the Hub, helping “those who are facing food insecurity and skipping meals to have a place to eat during the day.”

“What I love about working at the Hub is seeing students leave with a smile after they come in stressed out about seeking assistance.”

The Hub also serves two prepared meals a week, packed to go in reusable containers. “All you need is your student ID,” said Magallanes.

While a plethora of resources are available, sometimes the biggest obstacle is knowing when to ask for help. For Anahi Ibarra, who grew up in South Central Los Angeles and experienced homelessness in high school, it wasn’t until she reached out that she began to realize she is not the only one going through these challenges. Fast forward three years and now she dedicates her time as one of the Hub’s first basic needs peer educators.

“We want students to know that we are here to support them and that they shouldn’t feel stigmatized in seeking out our resources,” said Ibarra.

Humans have always been storytellers, whether around a fire pit in some jungle or around a fireplace in an urban apartment, the children and grandchildren listen to the stories. They learn the sagas of their parents, their grandparents, and their grandparents’ grandparents, who became Indian chiefs or generals or were jailed and escaped or who started a business or a university.

The holidays give us an opportunity to make family connections and reflect on our heritage — telling the stories about our parents, grandparents and distant relatives as well as sharing memories of our own childhoods.

This could be an opportune time to ask our children and grandchildren to talk about an event of their lives that they wish to remember to maybe pass on when they have children of their own. This is how we connect with our ancestors, the story of our genes, where we came from, and how we became who we are.

Now there are new dimensions to our stories: searches on Ancestry.com or 23andMe. We can go further back when looking for relatives with whom we share a percentage of our DNA. Second and third cousins appear on a page; we respond, and sometimes we meet.

This is how I met Jeff and his wife, Ellen. Was there a strange familiarity to this second

cousin? Or was it my imagination or a wish, a hope to find a family member? We both felt an instant connection, and it made us happy.

There is a need to know where we come from, a curiosity about our heredity, what and who has contributed to our nature and personality.

Some adopted children are curious about their biological parents; now with open adoptions, they can find and possibly connect with them.

Besides the pull to find out where we fit into our history, there is an equal enticement to leave a history of ourselves — who we are, what we did — to leave that information for our descendants. Some of my columns have been about my life, and somehow putting these memories on paper felt like an important accomplishment; I don’t know why, but some genetic imperative was pulling at me.

There are classes to teach people how to write their autobiographies. Many of my friends are writing about the events in their lives, their accomplishments and failures, both as incentives and warnings for their children, grandchildren, and, for many of us now, great-grandchildren, as well as yet unborn descendants.

Why do we take the time to write about our lives? There is a pleasure in remembering parts of our history. Sometimes it starts making more sense as we connect the dots that had remained elusive. Smaller bits of ourselves remain on papers or computers and in the minds of those who will read them; this is also our immortality. In other words, when we die, we are not totally gone.

Though my children and grandchildren may not always read my columns, their descendants might be interested in this distant, faraway, and long-ago great-greatgreat-grandmother. I wish I knew

about my grandmother’s mother who lived in Russia. What was life like then?

I have a photo of my father’s father standing by a bed in the orphanage he endowed in Kaunas, Lithuania. When I was born, there was a bed in my name. I was always both touched by and proud of this.

To celebrate my birth, an uncle planted a tree in Israel. I know there is no tree with my name, but I like the idea of a tree planted for me.

There is also pride in a famous ancestor. I hear my friends talk of being related to someone renowned; it enhances their self-esteem and adds to their identity.

I love looking at the photo of my grandmother, who was an opera singer in Moscow, dressed in her costume as Aida in the 1800s.

My mother often talked with longing about her older brother Boris, who never made it out of Russia when the rest of the family escaped the Communists. During a trip to Moscow years later, we visited with his daughter Natacha and various cousins. A strong emotional feeling overwhelmed everyone. We all hugged with smiles and tears — we were family! My mother even sponsored her brother’s grandson Viktor to come to America; they felt a familial kinship with each other all their lives.

We are each positioned between our history and the future of our genetic inheritance. We are the remnants of our ancestors’ DNA, and fragments of our DNA will continue on through our descendants. The links from our distant past continue on into the equally distant, unknowable future.

ROTARY CLUB OF LA JOLLA NEW MEMBERSHIP The Rotary Club of La Jolla is pleased to announce the approval of three new membership categories. These include local business, family, and emerging leaders under age 40. Local business membership allows any of up to four designated representatives from that business to attend meetings for the price of one membership. Family membership now allows individuals to participate as full members of the club, even if they are unable to regularly attend lunch meetings. Emerging leaders in our community are invited to become members at reduced rates.

“We believe expanding our membership opportunities will allow for more service-minded people to make

a difference in the lives of others, both locally and globally,” said Rotary Club president Charles Hartford.

Founded in 1947, the Rotary Club of La Jolla is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders and take action to make a positive difference in the lives of others. The Rotary Club of La Jolla meets for lunch each Tuesday at noon and welcomes anyone to join. For more information about the club and Rotary International, contact John Trifiletti at trifilettij@ bishops.com or visit rotarycluboflajolla.com.

BIRCH AQUARIUM TAKES GUESTS BEHIND THE SCENES For the first time, Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is taking guests behind the scenes. New tours kicked off on Nov. 12, and showcase the aquarium’s groundbreaking work breeding and caring for seahorses.

The “Growing Up Seahorse” behind-the-scenes tour immerses guests into the world of Birch Aquarium’s animal care team. Participants are first taken on a guided tour through seahorse exhibits to learn about the diversity and conservation status of these unique fish. They then head behind the scenes to learn the details about how Birch Aquarium’s experts care for and breed seahorses. The tour culminates with a visit to see tiny baby seahorses in the breeding room.

“People often don’t think about what type of food an animal with a mouth smaller than a pinhead needs to eat. Or how to care for a baby the size of a grain of rice,” said Lisa Gilfillan, education specialist and tour leader at Birch Aquarium. “There are so many eye-opening experiences on this tour allowing guests to forge a personal connection with seahorses. We hope these connections inspire guests to take the next step to protect seahorses, their habitats, and our ocean world.”

Birch Aquarium is a leader in the field of seahorse breeding conservation. The aquarium has been breeding seahorses for more than 25 years and has shipped approximately 5,000 seahorses to more than 100 facilities around the world, including South Africa, Guam, China, and many countries in Europe. The Seahorse Breeding Program is part of the aquarium’s dedication to conservation and participation in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) species survival plans (SSPs).

The AZA organizes species survival plans with institutions around the country to increase the number of captive seahorses to reduce pressure on wild populations.

“Within our population, we currently have leafy seadragons, pot-bellied, lined, and spotted seahorses as well as Bangaii cardinalfish that are listed within existing SSPs,” said Jennifer Nero Moffatt, the aquarium’s senior director of animal care, science and conservation.
