SEE PAGE 4 Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer has directed City of San
Diego staff to delay full enforcement of parking regulations until Sept. 1. The City will continue limited enforcement until then.
Parking enforcement has been limited to hol-iday or Sunday regulations in the City of San Diego since March 16. During that time, the City has suspended citations for vehicles violating street sweeping parking restrictions, metered parking, time limits and yellow commercial zones. Citations have continued to be issued for vehicles parked illegally at red, white and blue painted curbs.
Street sweeping has continued throughout the public health emergency. During the limited
enforcement period until Sept. 1, citations with corresponding fines will not be issued to vehi-cles parked in street sweeping zones. View an interactive map and street sweeping schedules by visiting tinyurl.com/ycwn5cjp.
Prior to March, the City typically processed an average of 42,000 parking citations per month. In the month of April, the City issued 1,704 parking citations for violations of the holiday or Sunday regulations.
While restarting parking enforcement is seen as one small step toward restoring San Diego’s economy by allowing for increased turnover of customers in business districts, many residents are still working from home or dealing with job losses due to COVID-19. Extending the limited enforcement of parking regulations will provide
additional relief to those residents. Other jurisdictions in San Diego County have
continued to enforce metered parking, so drivers are encouraged to review posted signage when looking for a parking space. To learn more about parking rules in the City of San Diego, and to pay or appeal a citation online, visit sandiego.gov/parking.
“We know many San Diegans are fac-ing financial hardship during this difficult time, and the last thing we want to do is add another burden like having to pay for a parking ticket,” Faulconer said. “Delaying full parking enforcement is simply the right thing to do as we work together as a com-munity to recover and rebound from this deadly pandemic.”
After becoming snarled in the City’s red tape while trying to expand outdoor seating for restaurants earlier this summer, The Shores Outside Dining space fi nally opened on July 22 and has been a successful addition to the area. Through Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Avenida De La Playa, from El Paseo Grande to Calle De La Plata, will be closed to vehicles to make more space for outdoor dining. PHOTO BY DON BALCH

City Council adopts economic relief measures for small businesses
Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer won unani-mous City Council approval on Aug. 4 for two measures that will offer greater oppor-tunity for small and disadvantaged busi-nesses to stay in business and follow public health orders during these difficult times.
Together these measures aim to reacti-vate the local economy safely and inclu-sively by allowing more business owners affected by the state’s indoor activity re-strictions to operate outdoors while also specifically allocating funding to support historically underserved businesses hit hardest during this pandemic.
“Mom-and-pop shops, especially in communities of concern, are struggling to keep up with changing rules despite doing everything they can just to survive this economic crisis,” Mayor Faulconer said. “Whether it’s allowing a barber to set up shop in a parking lot or providing a grant that helps a restaurant make pay-roll, we know small changes can make a big difference between closing for now or closing for good.”
EXPANDING OUTDOOR BUSINESSThe first measure cemented Faulconer’s
executive order allowing businesses – including gyms, churches, barbershops, nail salons – to expand their operations into private parking lots, sidewalks and on-street parking. As public health ex-perts continue to promote outdoor set-tings and physical distancing as two key tools to help slow the spread of COVID-19, this measure provides an innovative
solution to allow more business to oper-ate safely.
“This emergency ordinance will allow barbershops, hair salons, gyms, fitness centers, and faith-based groups to bring their operations outside. I am honored to co-sponsor creative solutions like this which will help businesses get back up and running in a safe manner. Employees can return to work and families can again participate in programs and sup-port our businesses, if they so desire,” said City Councilmember Chris Cate, chair of the Council’s Economic Development & Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
The ordinance now allows the follow-ing services to operate on private parking lots, sidewalks and on-street parking:• Personal services: hair salons, bar-
bershops, nail salons and massage establishments;
• Gyms, physical fitness centers, and in-structional studios;
• Places of religious assembly.As with the ‘Streateries’ and ‘Streetail’
ordinance, now hundreds of gyms, church-es and salons can join restaurants and re-tail businesses in applying for a permit to operate in this outdoor capacity.
INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC RECOVERYThe second measure paves the way for
a nonprofit partnership to be formed to connect businesses facing increased bar-riers to economic relief.

Coronavirus cases spike in Pacifi c Beach, County opens testing siteBy DAVE SCHWAB
Pacific Beach has become a coronavirus hot spot. So much so that San Diego
County opened a COVID-19 test-ing site in the beach community due to the increasing number of cases there.
“It’s important to remember that our actions matter. We must all do all we can to prevent con-tracting and spreading the virus,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer.
“Some San Diegans think they’re not going to get sick and therefore are not following the public health guidance,” said Wooten. “What they don’t realize is that they could get infected and pass the virus to others who are vulnerable.”
The new drive-up site will offer free COVID-19 testing Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pacific Beach Library at 4275 Cass St. Appointments are required and can be made five days in advance. They can be made at 211sandiego.org or by calling 2-1-1. For a com-plete list of other testing sites, visit coronavirus-sd.com.
“We have looked at this over and over, short of looking at confiden-tial medical files,” said Michael Workman, director of San Diego County News Center.
Concerning why Pacific Beach has seen a spike in COVID cases, Workman said: “Bottom line, lots of higher-risk activity a few weeks
ago. That has of course diminished indoors. But not outdoors. We hope to see the numbers drop over the next few weeks. But with addi-tional testing, you never know.”
Added Workman: “Of course we cannot ignore the number of tourists who visit the area. But if a group comes in and gets sick, if they don’t live there, they don’t get count-ed there. We don’t currently have Pacific Beach- or Mission Beach-only charts. The only trend is that those positive in the area appear to have contracted it there in PB.”
Workman also pointed out that: “Anecdotally, lots of young people frequenting the popular spots are the No. 1 general class of posi-tives. Next up are folks who work at those places mixing away from work at other establishments. Also
know, if you test positive and live in Phoenix, you are not counted in our local numbers.”
Civic leaders in PB responded to the news of escalating COVID-19 cases in their community.
"It is not surprising to see the surge in PB as we are a summer destination and despite stay-at-home orders, Pacific Beach has still been busy with an influx of people,” said Sara Berns, executive director of Discover PB, the community’s business improvement district.
“Our businesses have made sig-nificant investments in changing business practices to ensure social distancing and safe environments. We hope people that come out to our business district adhere to public health orders by wearing their masks, social distancing, and
practicing good hygiene."Brian White, Pacific Beach
Town Council president, attribut-ed the rise in local cases largely to beaches being open locally and not elsewhere.
"While state and county beach-es in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange counties were all closed to the public for the busy July 4 week-end, our local beaches remained open and thus became one of the top destinations for Southern Californians over the busy holi-day weekend,” White said. “With an incubation period of 2-14 days for the virus, it's not shocking that our ZIP Code (92109) is currently surging with COVID cases.”
Added White, “It's ever-more important that people follow pub-lic health guidelines by consistent-ly sanitizing their hands, avoiding large gatherings, and respecting our service-industry workers by wearing masks when entering their establishments."
PB resident Nicole Turner noted some short-term vacation rentals in the community serving signif-icant numbers of out-of-towners have high turnover rates. She add-ed some short-term rental guests are also disposed to partying in groups, which may or may not be observing proper health protocols.
“The renters all seem to be in their 20s,” said Turner. “Sometimes they’re going nuts outside until 2 a.m. It’s essential-ly a business opening up on a res-idential street. It just opens up a can of worms.”
Added Turner: “Short-term rental parties can go over maxi-mum capacity and people can be loud, intoxicated, and fighting. On top of that is the fact that we’re trying to stop people from gather-ing during COVID-19. Short-term rentals are essentially bringing the bars into everybody’s neigh-borhood. It’s crazy.”
Additionally, San Diego County officials confirmed recently there was an outbreak of COVID-19 tied to a popular Pacific Beach gym op-erating in violation of the county's public health order. The Gym, at 2949 Garnet Ave., remained open despite the public health order, and was cited for doing so. The county said at least three people
affiliated with that fitness facility have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The county would not confirm exactly how many people connected with the gym in question had test-ed positive. A community outbreak occurs when three or more people from different households are linked to the same setting or location, and they all test positive for COVID-19.
It was also not clear if the infec-tions occurred while the business was allegedly operating illegally or before the public health order was modified on July 6. It was also uncertain if the individuals who tested positive were employees or patrons of that fitness facility.
Venus Molina, chief of staff for District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell, who represents Pacific and Mission beaches, said overlapping governmental ju-risdictions make it hard to track down and contain COVID hotspots like the gym reported in PB.
“That [hotspot] falls under the purview of the county,” Molina said. “There’s a delineation be-tween what [the city] can enforce, and what the county enforces.”
PB TESTING SITEThe County is opening a COVID-19 testing site in Pacific Beach due to the increasing number of cases in the area. The drive-up site will offer free testing Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pacific Beach Branch Library, located at 4275 Cass St. Appointments are required and can be made five days in advance. They can be made online at 211sandiego.org or by calling 2-1-1. For a complete list of other testing sites, visit coronavirus-sd.com.
COMMUNITY OUTBREAKS• Four new outbreaks were
identified on Aug. 2: one in a higher education setting, one in a government setting and two in business settings.
• In the past seven days, 39 community outbreaks were identified.
• The number of community outbreaks remains above the trigger of seven or more in seven days.
• A community setting outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households.

Residents concerned about Airbnb guests and parties spreading COVID
By DAVE SCHWAB
Concern is ramping up that some coastal short-term rentals are hosting
gatherings and parties without guests wearing masks or social distancing.
"Many short-term rentals oper-ating in our residential areas here at the beach have shown to be consistent hot spots throughout the pandemic for large gatherings and unchecked parties with com-plete disregard for public health orders and safety precautions,” said Brian White, Pacific Beach Town Council president. “It's inexcusable that our City leader-ship has allowed this problem to occur."
Venus Molina, chief of staff for District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell representing the Mission and Pacific beaches, disputed the notion that short-term renters are mostly to blame for not practicing COVID health protocols in beach areas.
“The majority of the people who are not wearing masks and having parties are our own constituents,” Molina said. “The number of vacationers who are there who are bad actors, com-pared to the number of residents who are actually having parties – it’s very slim.”
Pacific Beach resident Tom Coat emailed City Council mem-bers months ago expressing his concern about the COVID threat posed by some short-term vaca-tion renters.
“I requested that the City of San Diego prohibit vacation rentals during the pandemic as other cities had done,” Coat said. “I had just passed by a house on
Soledad Mountain where five cars were parked in the driveway and on the street. All had Arizona li-cense plates.”
Added Coat: “Why, I asked, were we allowing visitors from other states to come together to rent homes in the middle of our neighborhoods while, at the same time, the County Health Department was asking residents not to have family or group gath-erings in their own homes?”
Pointing out that, “This has been a concern for some time,” Coat argued, “The fact that Pacific and Mission beaches are now considered hot spots for surging numbers of COVID cases certainly reinforces those concerns.”
Added Molina: “It would be great to see the data on testing results. Also, we’ve spoken to the [short-term rental] platforms, and they’ve gotten hit tremendously by COVID. Nobody is really trav-eling. [Rentals] are not really up and running and renting.”
Molina pointed out virus
testing remains a huge problem. “The key factor is testing and getting back the results, which is very slow right now. We really need to work on getting more and faster testing in order to control the spread of the virus.”
Greg Knight was a recent vic-tim of a physical assault by an un-identified short-term renter in his Mission Beach neighborhood. He said there have been huge crowds again this summer in Mission Beach, despite the fact that large gatherings are being discouraged during the COVID resurgence.
“People in Los Angeles and Arizona and other communities are saying, ‘Let’s go to Mission Beach,’ we’re seeing a lot of that,” claimed Knight, who insisted that, on the boardwalk between Mission and Pacific beaches, “It is physically impossible to social distance.”
Knight claims a few summer Mission Beach visitors are ob-serving proper health protocols.

Mrs. Frances Kulikowski passed away at 89 years old on July 20, 2020 in San Diego California. She was born on May 20, 1931 in Baltimore Mary-land to parents Bart and Sarah Eberlin. Frances lived in La Jolla California for the last 35 years, and enjoyed traveling around the world! She also enjoyed shopping, cooking, had a quick wit and was the first to make you laugh. One of her passions was to support her community by contributing to various charities in different ways.
Frances was the widow of Mr. Leon Kulikowski, was preceded in death by her parents and brother Arnold, and is survived by her beloved sister Judy, nephew Ross, niece Melissa, great grand-niece Sarah, many cousins, and many friends. She is loved and will be remembered by many.

“I’d say, on a good day, only about 20% are wearing masks,” he said, adding, “I can guarantee there are no Airbnb health proto-cols going on.”
Jonah Mechanic, owner of SeaBreeze Vacation Rentals in La Jolla and president of Share San Diego, disputed the claim that short-term renters are to blame for COVID health protocols not being observed at the beach.
“There’s zero proof, or data, to prove short-term travelers are more responsible (for infractions) than residents,” he said. “That has been a sound bite from anti-short-term rental people trying
to demonize responsible tourism from day one.
“There is an anti-tourism group that wants to lift the drawbridge and not allow any tourists in,” continued Mechanic. “They’re looking for anything negative to say about short-term rentals. First, it was that short-term rent-als went against affordable hous-ing. Then it was prostitution rings run out of houses. Whatever the hot topic is of the day – they grasp at. Now it’s COVID.”
Knight contends turnover rates are so high that there is insuffi-cient time for rental operators to properly clean in-between clients, and he also claims short-term renters tend to bend the rules more in San Diego because they
don’t live here and don’t have to suffer the consequences.
“People traveling down here right now, some of them are saying, ‘We don’t care. We don’t need masks. It’s my right to not do masks.’” Knight said.
Mission Beach resident Gary Wonacott, a critic of the prepon-derance of short-term rentals there, said the community is fed up.
“Frankly, we feel a little forgot-ten in Mission Beach, what with the COVID-19 and the saturation of short-term rentals filled with visitors from areas with high rates of coronavirus,” he said. “Community transmission is the latest terminology for the spread of the virus in communities with over-tourism. Our County Public Health administrator, Dr. Wilma Wooten, sidesteps questions re-garding short-term rentals in communities with a high density of short-term rentals.”
Mechanic said: “The number one question we used to get from guests was, ‘How close is to the beach, and can I see the ocean?’ Now the most common question is, ‘Do we have to bring our own masks, or do you supply masks, and what is it with restaurants, dine-in or dine out?' Without a doubt, our guests have the same concerns about COVID as the residents.”
Mechanic cited a different rea-son for the bad and irresponsible behavior by some in beach com-munities like PB and MB.
La Jolla Shores Association discusses face-coverings, ice cream beach bells
By DAVE SCHWAB
In July, La Jolla Shores Association heard District 1 City Council candidate
Joe LaCava’s take on District 2 Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell’s short-term rental compromise proposal, as well as being updated on police difficul-ties in citing non-mask wearers and vendors on beaches.
District 1 aide Steve Hadley re-sponded to complaints from La Jollans about loud bell-ringing beach ice cream vendors and en-forcement of mask requirements on beaches due to COVID. He pointed out California law has lift-ed restrictions on beach vending.
“It is legal what they’re doing,” he said. “So it’s difficult for police to enforce unless they’re obstruct-ing ADA access or violating noise decibel ordinances.”
Regarding mask enforcement, Hadley’s been told by police that it is problematic to enforce because the mask ordinance, as presently con-strued, requires masks to be worn within six feet of anyone who is not a member of the same household.
Hadley noted, for example, that generational family members on the beach together may not live in the same household. Whereas
college students, not related to one another, may all come from the same household, so they would not technically be required to wear masks around each other at the beach.
That, Hadley concluded, makes it extremely difficult for police to sort out who’s who, and who can – and should – be cited for not wear-ing their masks at a public beach.
LaCava, a longtime La Jollan and community planner who running to replace District 1 Councilmember Barbara Bry in November, said he felt Campbell’s proposal was ill-advised.
“It was a move that caught everyone by surprise,” he said. “It was a private agreement be-tween two private organizations, HomeAway (an online vacation rental marketplace) and a labor union, Unite Here, representing hotel workers and tourist hotels. The non-binding agreement be-tween the two organizations pur-ports to say, ‘We’re tired of fight-ing’ … and they’ve come up with a proposal that is no proposal at all.”
Adding he is opposed to Campbell’s proposal as present-ed, LaCava pointed out five of the nine members of the present City Council will be different after the Nov. 3 general election.READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

ADMINISTERING YOUR TRUST UPON YOUR DEATH
You may wonder what is involved when your successor trustee administers your revocable living trust following your death. Here are the primary actions (not neces-sarily sequential) your successor trustee will need to take:
1. Arrange for the on-going care of your pets; secure your home; and make the final arrangements for the disposition of your body.
2. Order several Death Certificates through the mortuary to be used in con-nection with closing financial accounts and transferring title to real property.
3. Mail out “Notice to Beneficiary/Heir” letters as required by California law.
4. Obtain preliminary value of your estate to determine whether a federal estate tax return may need to be filed with the IRS (within nine (9) months from the date of your death).
5. Notify the California Department of Health Care Services as required by Cali-fornia law if you received or may have received any benefits from Medi-Cal.
6. Open a new checking account in the trust name (or convert an existing account). This account will be used to pay all of your debts and on-going trust expenses. In this connection, obtain from the IRS a new income tax reporting num-ber (EIN) for the trust which the bank will require, since your trust became irrevoca-ble upon your death.
7. Transfer title to all financial/broker-age accounts from your name into the suc-cessor trustee's name, or close (sell the assets in) all or some of such accounts and transfer the proceeds into the new account in the trust referred to in Para. 6 above.
8. Locate all outstanding bills and pay same from the account referred to in Para 6. above.
9. Make claim for any death benefit(s) payable on your death.
10. As to any personal property in your estate, have an appraisal of such property
made by an estate personal property appraiser, and sell such property and deposit the sale proceeds into the trust bank account, or divide such property among the entitled beneficiaries based on value or as otherwise required by the terms of your trust.
11. Obtain date of death values of all other property in your estate. Your banks and brokerage firms can provide the trustee with a statement(s) covering the time of your death and/or a letter provid-ing the date of death value(s) of such account(s). The trustee will probably need to hire a qualified real estate appraiser to value your real property(ies) (needed for income tax basis purposes).
12. The trustee should keep a good record of all trust income and expenses and trust distributions, since an account-ing should typically be provided to each beneficiary at the end of the trust admin-istration.
13. The trustee should pay to him-self or herself the compensation he or she is entitled to under the terms of the trust; and if none is provided for, "reasonable compensation" as authorized by Califor-nia law.
14. After all estate expenses and debts have been paid, make the distributions to your beneficiaries called for by the trust.
15. Have an accountant prepare and file the needed income tax returns for you and for the trust.

La Jolla Parks and Beaches discusses sidewalk vending and safety issues
By DAVE SCHWAB
In July, La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. returned to a familiar topic: park com-
mercialization. The parks advi-sory group also discussed safety issues in Pottery Canyon.
Board member Bob Evans has been tracking SB 946, a state bill that took effect Jan. 1, 2019 re-laxing restrictions on sidewalk vending. He noted SB 946 is now proposed to be amended to allow nonprofits and faith-based orga-nizations to temporarily open up for business in City parks to pro-vide economic relief during the pandemic.
“SB 946 basically has nullified any ability for the City to enforce sidewalk vending,” Evans said. “We’re hoping to enact some re-strictions and prohibitions to re-move sidewalk vending from our parks and coastline beaches.”
Evans pointed out sidewalk vending is alive and well in Scripps Park, on Pacific Beach’s boardwalk, and at Children’s Pool.
“There’s nothing we can do in light of this pandemic, with the need for communities, in gener-al, to come together and support local businesses,” noted Evans adding, “I’m not saying put in the white flag. Just take a step back. I
don’t know what else to do.”“We want to be following the
developments with vendors in the park,” said board president Ann Dynes. “We all care about the natural state of our parks. It should be on our radar.”
Boa rd member Debbie Beacham warned that park vend-ing threatens public park use.
“We have always used the parks for the public, and some-times when it becomes commer-cialized, the public doesn’t get a chance to walk quietly through a park,” she said. “On the flip side of the coin, people are really looking for places to go walking and for outdoor exercise. If we take parks and turn them into commercial pockets, we’re taking away exer-cise opportunities.”
“I agree 100% with you,” re-plied Evans. “I just don’t know how to combat this.”
“It’s not appropriate in our lit-tle, limited amount of parks that we have here to commercialize them,” answered Beacham.
Colleague John Shannon not-ed scooters are back at Children’s Pool displacing some bicycle parking.
Mary Munk of La Jolla Shores pointed out kayak and surf camp operators pay significant fees to operate on beaches and in parks, whereas sidewalk vendors do not.
Board member Phyllis Minick added T-shirt vendors have also returned to the public plaza over-looking Children’s Pool.
Another board member, Ken Hunrichs, characterized com-mercial vending activities during the pandemic as an “extraordi-nary circumstance. We need to encourage the City to bend just a little to allow some businesses, like gyms and yoga studios, to use the parks. Small-businesses are really struggling to even survive,” he said.
Dynes said she would put side-walk vending on the group’s next agenda on Aug. 24 for further review.
Switching topics, board mem-bers, and property owners aired problems with numerous large fallen trees at Pottery Canyon, a relatively undeveloped public park with a hiking trail and a historic pioneering pottery site off Torrey Pines Road. Neighbors Willis and Claudia Allen discussed problems with flooding, fallen trees, and canyon safety and access.
“This is a major safety hazard,” pointed out Diane Kane, president of La Jolla Community Planning Association, which makes land-use recommendations to the City. “We have historic resourc-es out there. Ignoring this is just inexcusable.”
La Jolla Town Council hears about parking issues at Beach-Barber Tract
By DAVE SCHWAB
In July, La Jolla Town Council heard about renewed problems with oversaturation in the Beach-Barber Tract, as well as getting a report on the status of outdoor dining.
Named after Phillip Barber, an heir to a steamship fortune, Beach-Barber Tract was estab-lished in the early 1920s. The coastal La Jolla neighborhood in-cludes Windansea Beach and fea-tures a wide-ranging mix of home styles from English-style cottages
to exquisite oceanfront residenc-es valued between $950,000 and $29 million. Many longtime BBT residents have preserved the archi-tectural integrity of their homes.
Introducing Michael Cole, president of the Barber Tract Neighborhood Association, La Jolla Town Council president Ann Kerr Bache thanked association members. “They’ve been on the front lines fighting for public safe-ty and against alcohol and drugs on the beach as well as parking problems,” she said.

Love, fl oss, and La Jolla – married dentists from Iran forge successful practicesBy DAVE SCHWAB
It’s been an inspiring journey for La Jolla husband-and-wife Ali and Nikou Rahbar
Fakhimi, both Iranian immigrants, who found each other – and new careers – practicing dentistry after coming to the United States.
Surprisingly enough, Dr. Ali Fakhimi, DMD, did not start in dental science. He worked for his father, a successful real estate devel-oper. Now after running a 20-year practice, Soft Touch Dental at 3735 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., Fakhimi has forged a national reputation as a “comprehensive dentist.”
Nikou Rahbar Fakhimi, DDS, migrated to Americain 1997 with her Persian parents, both now physicians in Orange County. She was initially interested in going to medical school but ultimately grav-itated toward cosmetic dentistry. She has set up shop with Dentique San Diego at 3570 Fourth Ave. in Hillcrest.
The pair, who have two daugh-ters, started dating during Nikou’s last year in dental school. They moved to La Jolla to start a life together.
Doing it all is what Ali does.“We are a multi-specialty prac-
tice including restorative family dentistry, implants, root canals, oral surgery (wisdom teeth) and cosmetic dentistry, bonding, and whitening,” Fakhimi said.
Responding to COVID, the dentist has sanitized his workspace.
“We’ve done a major remodel on our office putting airflow control in every exam room,” he said. “We al-so have an electrostatic disinfectant gun we use to clean up after every patient.”
Health protocols observed at Soft Touch Dental:
– A completely remodeled office from top to bottom with state-of-the-art technology in every aspect of the practice.
– All patient rooms are private; completely new technology devel-oped to treat patients faster and more thoroughly than ever before.
– The most advanced equipment with sanitary and safety procedures far exceeding most in the industry.
– A state-of-the-art air filtration system in each patient room to en-sure the cleanest and freshest air
flow available in the industry.Nikou worked briefly in Ali’s
office but has since relocated her practice to Hillcrest. Though they practice dentistry separately, Ali noted: “We constantly confer about procedures and research, anything that has to do with our fields. She’s more specialized in cosmetic den-tistry. Any kind of surgical work that’s needed, I come in.”
Of his dental “conversion” from real estate, Ali said, “I found I liked the medical field, working with my hands. There’s also a lot of diversity with dentistry, so many things you can do from A to Z.”
Dentistry has come a long way during Fakhimi’s time practicing it.
“The technology has advanced so much, especially the comfort level for patients,” he said. “The patient should not have to feel any pain or anxiety going to see the
dentist anymore.”Concerning observing COVID
protocols, Fakhimi noted, “A dental office right now is the cleanest place there is, with so much disinfecting being done with microbial rinsing and sterilization of rooms.”
Ali and Nikou love La Jolla and plan to stay.
“My office is 2 ½ miles from where I live,” he said. “My kids go to school in La Jolla. We do most ev-erything, all our shopping, in the Village of La Jolla.”

NOTABLE WOMEN OF SAN DIEGOCommemorating 100 years of the 19th Amendment when women took the vote
BY KAREN SCANLON
“The right of citi-zens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex…” so goes the text of this celebrated passage.
Women’s suffrage ended on Aug. 18, 1920, culminating nearly a century of protest. Though she took the vote, oth-er rights granted continued to evolve — to live free from vio-lence, slavery, and discrimina-tion. The right to be educated, own property, and earn an eq-uitable wage.
Interestingly, German-Jewish immigrant Louis Rose, who set-tled the community of Roseville in Point Loma some 150 years ago, showed himself to be an early feminist in that he deed-ed property to women. How startling!
A number of well-known wom-en of San Diego began to assert themselves beyond the kitchen. For example, in the late 1880s, humanitarian visionary Kathryn Tingley created an internation-al community of free thinkers, known as Raja Yoga Academy, or Lomaland. It became a highly regarded educational institution.
At about the same time, American horticulturalist Kate Sessions was cultivating plants. In 1892, she leased 30 acres of land in City Park and planted 100 trees a year. She would become known as “Mother of Balboa Park,” and was connected to the philanthropic generosity of busi-nessman, George Marston.
But there are other women whose contributions to San Diego ought to be remembered.
THE FIRST FEMALE HARBOR PILOTCelia Sweet of Ballast Point
was the lightkeeper’s wife. James, and often Celia, tended the bay beacons and lamp in the tower. He also built boats known as Sweet Craft. In 1907, Sweet
christened Pilot, San Diego’s f irst motorized harbor-pilot vessel, Celia bursting the cham-pagne bottle against its bow.
While raising two children, Celia became the first federally licensed woman harbor pilot in San Diego, and also ferried passengers across the bay to Coronado’s Tent City. When she could solicit no female com-petition, Celia raced the Relue against her male equals of San Diego Yacht Club. Sweet’s 28-foot Relue set a Pacific coast speed re-cord of 22 knots.
SOUTHERN BELLE SAVES SURFING IN SAN DIEGO
An extrovert known as Miss Billy Riley of Oklahoma burst onto Shelter Island’s entertain-ment scene when tourism efforts were f lailing. Through evolv-ing monikers of the 1960s — Windsong, L’Escale, Half Moon, and Humphrey’s — Miss Billy be-came the first woman manager of a major hotel and eventually part owner. She served as the first female president of the San Diego Hotel-Motel Association, director of San Diego Chamber of Commerce, and strongly advo-cated the construction of Ocean
Beach Fishing Pier.Miss Billy will be remembered
for defending the 1966 World Surfing Championships when city officials uttered disdain for the whole affair. “Five years earlier, surfers had misbehaved during a similar event,” she said, “and the city was forced to con-sider the future of surfing in San Diego generally.”
“I gathered a bunch of those 200 surfers in the parking lot of Bali Hai and told them you’re going to have a rough time in our city — people think you’re a crummy bunch. We expect you to conduct yourselves honorably to represent the surfing indus-try.” As it was, surfing greats Kimo McVay, Nat Young, and ‘the Duke’ Kahanomoku took to the waves in Ocean Beach, while spectators crowded the new pier.
In downtown’s Gaslamp District, Billy’s name appears on the outside bronze plaque of the Horton Grand Hotel. “We’d heard that the old Horton Hotel and Kahle’s Saddlery were being torn down and felt the urgency to preserve what we could,” she said. “Some of us moved sections of those buildings into storage in an old garage on Island Avenue, brick-by-brick, windows, and everything. And when the time came, we, and other investors, recreated a hotel.” The Horton Grand is a testament to Miss Billy’s tenacity and goodwill.
THE CITY’S HISTORY PROFESSOR EMERITA
Iris Engstrand, Ph.D., has taught thousands of students at University of San Diego over 49 years as a professor of American history. In turn, she says, “These students have them-selves become teachers and au-thors. They serve as politicians,
city planners, national and state park employees, mayors, and in other positions of leadership. Teaching others is truly a gift that keeps on giving.”
Of relevance is Engstrand’s pictorial history of San Diego, f irst published in 1980 and reprinted three times in re-vised editions. “This factual account,” she says, “tells a complete story of San Diego beginning with the indig-enous population and con-tinuing through the Spanish, Me x i c a n , a nd A m e r i c a n periods.”
Other notable women were to be recognized at this year’s Congress of History of San Diego and Imperial Counties, a n a n nua l t wo - day con-ference. But “Rema rkable Women 1920-2020” fel l by the pandemic wayside. The Congress is scheduled to re-convene, f ingers crossed, on Feb. 26-27, 2021, when the contributions by women over the past 100 years wil l be celebrated.

Keeping skateboarders safer inspires Pacific Beach artist’s latest project
BY THOMAS MELVILLE
To honor the memory of Cameron (Cam Bob) Loren, a 25-year-old
who was killed by a hit-and-driver on Voltaire Street while skateboarding in Ocean Beach, a Pacific Beach artist is work-ing on a creative project to help make roads safer in the beach communities.
In July, Krystal Dyer received a Facebook message from a friend who asked if Dyer would be interested in painting a skateboard deck to read “Share The Road,” which would be
installed as an awareness sign near the spot of the fatal inci-dent. “Neither my friend nor I had the pleasure of knowing Cameron, but we both skate-board and what happened to Cameron is a real fear for any skateboarder,” Dyer said.
“I met up with my friend to retrieve the skateboard deck that I was going to paint and they mentioned they wanted to get more decks and asked if I knew any other artists able to help out. I said I could prob-ably get more decks and art-ists so I made a post in Social Pacific Beach,” Dyer said. “The
community responded and within a few hours, 15 people between PB, Little Italy, and OB had skateboard decks they wanted to donate.”
Dyer recently spent an after-noon driving around to picking up skateboard deck donations and gifted each person with a print of her artwork as a little thank you. “I also told each per-son that I will send them a photo of how their deck donation was painted as well as the location we display it,” she said.
The idea with this project is to bring awareness to drivers that roads are not just for vehicles, at least not here in San Diego. They are still working out the details and locations of where the skateboard decks will be in-stalled. “Skateboarders, cyclists, and scooter riders all use roads and vehicle drivers need to un-derstand and remember that, and to drive with self-aware-ness and caution that there are others around them,” Dyer said.
“What happened to Cameron is a gut-wrenching tragedy. Something that could have been avoided,” Dyer said. “We hope this project brings awareness, to remind drivers to share the road, and we are doing it in memory of Cameron.”
HOW TO HELP?
If anyone has a skateboard deck they would like to donate, contact Krystal Dyer at [email protected] or Instagram @Krystal_Dyer_The_Artist.

Selling La Jolla’s Barber Tract since 1990
CA BRE 01081197
In the heart of La Jolla's Barber Tract and located 2 blocks away from a secluded white sand beach, this newly listed, 1920s Spanish Revival home features 3 BR and 2 BA in the main house, plus a detached ensuite guest cottage and a 2 car garage. Filled with natural light, the home has unexpected high beamed
ceilings in the living room, a cheerful sunroom family room, generous sized master suite and numerous outdoor living areas throughout the gardens. Read about the enchanting Barber Tract neighborhood in my column above. Go to: www.7227Olivetas.com for more information.
Offered at: $2,695,000.
Spanish Charm in the Barber Tract
The front yard garden of our English Tudor cottage, Historic Site No. 226 – The 1935 Morgan Larkins Marrone residence. The home was designed by master architect Edgar Ullrich.
7227 Olivetas Ave., circa 2020. A col-lection of antique roses, fruit trees, herbs and ever-blooming flowers now adorn the grounds surrounding this Barber Tract’s original home.
7227 Olivetas Ave,, circa 1960s. Built around 1924, during Phillip Barber's development period, the home may have historic significance for both its Spanish Revival architectural style and association with Barber's development period.

The Barber family, early 1920s. A fifth child, Tootie was born to the family later.
Phillip Barber's estate, ‘The Dunes,’ circa 1923 – Historic Site No. 520. The late Academy Award winning actor and native La Jollan Cliff Robertson owed the home from the 1960s until 2005 and was responsi-ble for historically designating the home, which he called ‘Casa de la Paz.’
The Barber Tract – A neighborhood rich in history and charmBY LINDA MARRONE
The Barber Tract is a neighborhood rich in La Jolla history, as well as a
treasure trove of 1920s and ’30s architecturally designed homes. In this picturesque neighbor-hood that is bordered by white sand beaches you will find homes with an eclectic mix of architec-tural style homes that include; both cottages and stately homes designed in the Spanish, English Tudor, and French Normandy styles. Along the charming streets, vine-covered walls and garden gates sometimes hide well-kept secret gardens filled with mature landscaping and old-growth trees. The neigh-borhood has been affectionately known as the Barber Tract after Phillip Barber began developing it in the early 1920s.
While on vacation in La Jolla in 1921, Phillip Barber purchased 12 acres of land for $22,875 that was once part of the early 1900s subdivision, Neptunia. Barber was an heir to the Barber & Co. steamship firm in New York. The 16th of 18 children, he was a visionary and dreamer with an artistic sense, who in many ways was a man ahead of his time. In those days, rugged sand dunes ran throughout the area and reminded Barber of a favor-ite vacation spot on Long Island, N.Y. and it was, love at first sight.
Barber’s daughter, Barbara Barber Stockton, who passed away in 2009, recalls her very excited fa-ther telephoning her mother in Tenafly, N.J., saying, “Pack up the family; I’ve just purchased proper-ty in La Jolla, California!”
The Barber family moved to La Jolla in 1921 and in January 1922, Barber finished build-ing his oceanfront estate, "The Dunes." In the fall of 1922, the home was featured in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. After the construction on his home was completed, devel-opment of the neighborhood began to takeoff. Most of the homes were designed in the European Revival style that was gaining popularity across the country during this era. Barber considered La Jolla, "America's
Riviera" and this style of archi-tecture fit in perfectly with his dream to have the neighborhood feel as though it was a seaside European village. Early note-worthy San Diego architects and designers, such as; Edgar Ullrich, Tom Shepherd, Herbert Mann, Herbert Palmer, Richard Requa, Lilian Rice and Florence Palmer, have all left their eclectic archi-tectural imprint on this seaside terrain. Barber even designed and built a few homes himself.
During the Great Depression, Barber had to relinquish owner-ship of his beloved home, as well as the tract he was developing. Our home on Monte Vista Avenue was one of the few built during the dif-ficult period of the 1930s. In the 1940s and ’50s, development be-gan again and master architects,
Russell Forester and Locke Crane designed homes in the neighbor-hood that reflected a more modern approach to architecture.
The Barber Tract remains one of the few La Jolla neighborhoods where much of the original style and ambiance still exists. Today, the neighborhood boasts quite a few historically designated homes, all voluntarily designated by own-ers in an effort to maintain the allure and charm that compelled many of us to make this seaside neighborhood our home. My full story about the Barber Tract ap-pears in the book, "Historic Tales of La Jolla," by Patricia Daly-Lipe.

Women’s Museum of California celebrates 100th anniversary of 19th Amendment
Women’s Museum of California presented a virtual event on hand-bags on July 23. Award-winning veteran journalist Sandra Maas was MC for the evening. She is the VP of external affairs at the muse-um. Her mission is to help women achieve equal pay in the workplace.
She introduced the executive di-rector Felecia W Shaw who talked about her vision to make every-thing more accessible to all wom-en of all backgrounds. She talked about the upcoming programs.
The year is the 100th anniversa-ry of the women’s right to vote and they will have some events coin-ciding with the 19th Amendment. They have also collaborated with a dance organization which will in-terpret what the suffragettes went through during that period. We are still fighting the same issues today. The biggest announcement was their new partnership with San Diego History Center. They will be moving the archives into in the History Center in Balboa Park.
Camille Brown who is the di-rector of collection and the library gave an amazing presentation on purses. She said that 95% of the purses in their collection were donated by one collector. Brown
started with a tiny purse from the 1700s called Reticule. Previously, women carried everything in pockets. We were shown hand-bags from the ’20s, ’30s, and ’50s and the bigger pursers of the ’60s. As the purses got bigger the pock-ets got smaller.
It was a statement to say, “Here is what I think of myself.” Brown was wearing nitro gloves, which are needed to protect beaded and sequin items whereas cotton gloves worked well for holding pa-per and film.

Communication is lost when body language is no longer available
Over 80 percent of commu-nication is nonverbal. We read body language as a means of understanding what the oth-er person is saying. Look in the mirror with a glazed stare, then—without changing your stare—smile, and you will see how fake it is; now get your eyes to smile with your mouth and it looks genuine. I mention this experiment to show you how difficult it is to read someone's face with a mask. When in a Zoom meeting, one looks at the speaker who is not interacting with anyone, but with the cam-era. The rest of the participants have an immobile face in their little rectangles. There is no eye-to eye-contact with anyone, and no one can know what anybody is thinking or feeling. Even when talking with another person on FaceTime, there is a twenty sec-ond delay in the transmission, which is enough to miss import-ant nonverbal cues.
When we are in a conversation with another person our bodies begin to synchronize with each
other, our gestures and facial expressions mirror each other. It is when this happens that we begin to truly hear one anoth-er. When we are face-to-face, we unconsciously pick up small changes, which give us clues as to what the other is feeling. It might be a slight flush, an en-largement of pupils, a change in voice pitch, a stiffening of the spine, all unconscious reactions to either the subject or the tone of the conversation. We are con-stantly monitoring peoples’ re-sponses to what we are saying. In texting and emails, we miss the most important part of the interaction, which is the impact our words are making.
This process is amplified in group settings. When I enter a group, I look for who has eye contact with whom, whose voice is the loudest, who is restless, who initiates, who interrupts, who is being interrupted. The list of what we perceive and base our judgments on contin-ues throughout the meeting and gives us the information about the direction the group is taking, its friendliness, trust level, and degree of competitiveness. This information is challenging to ascertain via Zoom.
Wearing a face mask hides one of the two most important parts of communication: the mouth. The other crucial part—the
eyes—often hidden behind sun-glasses which further impairs communication. Wearing masks makes it impossible for people to lipread. Also speech is muffled behind a mask. I wear a hearing aid and find it difficult to under-stand what people are saying; yet we cannot take our masks off to talk, for if we did that, vi-rus droplets could escape. When I meet another resident in our hallways I ask, “How are you?” The answer is often just a shoul-der shrug. Sometimes I blow a kiss from my hidden mouth.
Women in Muslim countries have worn the veil for centuries, but it comes off at home and is not worn when Muslim women are together without men pres-ent. Hand gestures remain visi-ble and women can touch each other, which is also a form of communication.
An important part of interac-tion between people is touch. We humans need to touch each oth-er before we can communicate, hence the handshake or hug. Touching releases endorphins; it relaxes us and permits us to start bonding. Touches such as fist bumps, elbow bumps, pats, taps, squeezes, all these gestures convey messages of friendliness and trust. Smiling and laugh-ing together increases bonding. Crying together forms strong bonds due to our willingness to
show vulnerability in front of each other.
When online, we monitor our emotions and remain guarded. It is more difficult to show strong disagreement or much enthusi-asm or distress or empathy when we sit expressionless in our little Zoom boxes, waiting to be un-muted and allowed to speak, waiting for our frame to be high-lighted, indicating that we are next to speak.
At times I have called a friend after the meeting to check how he or she is doing. Although the gesture was appreciated, what
was really needed was an arm around a shoulder, a hug, or simply holding a hand. We have all become poorer from the lack of opportunities to touch and be touched. I worry that the part of the brain which is good at pick-ing up all these subtle cues will atrophy from disuse. When the pandemic is over it will feel good to embrace each other.

Ingraham St, one of PB’s main North/South streets, was initially named Broadway when it was created in the late 1880’s, then had a name change to Izard in 1900, then back to Broadway in 1907 and finally became the Ingraham Street we know today in 1913.
PB Fun Fact:
It goes without saying that the last several months have been trying for everyone. With schools facing a lack of funding, drastically diminished donations/ability to fundraise, and the recent announcement that schools will start the school year with distance learning, now more than ever before, we as a community need to stay positive and do what we can to help ensure the safety
and quality of education the kids of today are receiving. I currently have a child at PB Middle and one at PB Elementary, so I too am feeling the stress and uncertainty of the coming school year that many of you are feeling. We’re all in this together as a community, and I’m confident we’ll make it through, together as a community.
HELP ME HELP OUR LOCAL SCHOOLSAs many of your know I have always been a supporter of local schools but for the 2020/2021 school year, I will be stepping it up and I will be donating $1,000 to a local school of your choice when you or someone you refer to me buys or sells a home.
