On-street dining coming to Avenida de la Playa in JulyBy DAVE SCHWAB

In June, La Jolla Shores Association once again vetted a proposal by mem-ber Phil Wise to open up Avenida de la

Playa for on-street dining, only to discover later the City had granted their wish.

“We have something finally coming togeth-er,” LJSA president Janie Emerson told La Jolla Traffic & Transportation Committee on June 17. “We are going to close one block of Avenida de la Playa right after the Fourth of July to have on-street dining from Thursday through Sunday in the beginning. We will expand that as needed. We wanted you to know that the street is going to be closed, and to get your approval at your next meeting.”

On June 18, Mayor Kevin Faulconer intro-duced a new outdoor dining proposal to help the restaurant industry out by making it easier and more affordable for restaurants and small businesses to do business outdoors.

Under Faulconer’s proposal, the City will waive fees that can exceed $1,000 and fast-track permitting to help restaurants increase customer capacity. Securing an outdoor dining

and retail permit can take several months to process. This new proposal helps hundreds of businesses by waiving fees and reduces process-ing times from weeks to several days.

Traffic and Transportation chair Dave Abrams asked Emerson whether or not the Avenida de la Playa outdoor dining proposal was a fait accompli.

“We have the insurance,” replied Emerson. “The fire marshal also needs to come out and walk it with us and take a look at what we’ve done.”

Emerson said the City Council will be asked to sign-off on Faulconer’s street dining proposal on July 7. “So we’ll open the eighth or ninth of July,” she said. “The City will waive the fees, which are about $1,200.”

Added Emerson, “If we were to open before the Fourth, we would be on the hook for the $1,200.”

With the continuing spread of the corona-virus, health officials have advised reducing dining capacity by maintaining at least six feet between tables. Faulconer’s proposal allows restaurants and retail businesses to maximize outdoor space, including parking lots and on-street parking spaces, to make up for lost rev-enue resulting from reduced indoor capacity.

All eating and drinking establishments, including restaurants, cafes, bars, breweries, and wineries are eligible. Retail establishments including furniture, appliances, pet supplies, apparel, and other convenience sales are also eligible.

The proposal reduces applicant costs for special events by waiving processing fees for applicants to operate in the public rights-of-way until social distancing mandates expire. It waives certain permit requirements and streamlines the review process to allow ap-plicants to close streets and conduct business outdoors faster.

‘We are going to close one block of Avenida de la Playa right after the Fourth of July

to have on-street dining.’ JANIE EMERSON,

Dr. Lynn Reaser, the chief economist for the Fermanian Business and Economic Institute at PLNU.

PLNU analysis: Growth rates may look impressive at fi rst, but recovery will be slow

By DAVE SCHWAB

A Point Loma Nazarene University economist believes the economy will rebound, though slowly be-

cause of the “deep hole we’re digging our-selves out of” from the pandemic lockdown.

San Diego Community Newspaper Group held a Q&A with Dr. Lynn Reaser, the chief economist for the Fermanian Business and Economic Institute at PLNU. The institute engages in economic analysis, modeling, and forecasting for corporations, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies

SDCNG: What kind of an economic recovery are we looking at? Long or short? What factors are at play?

Reaser: Gains and growth rate rates will look impressive. However, because we are digging out of such a deep hole, it is likely to take until the end of 2021 before employ-ment returns to pre-Covid-19 levels. Three factors will determine what the recovery ultimately looks like The virus, will there be a second wave?; The science, how soon will we have a vaccine or, at least, widespread testing and tracing?; and consumer behav-ior, will consumers feel safe enough to shop, dine, and move about and will they have the buying power to fuel the economy?

SDCNG: Is San Diego going to lag because,

to a certain degree, it is tourist-dependent?Reaser: In April, which is likely to mark

the bottom of the downturn, San Diego’s total job market suffered a loss that was approximately equal to that experienced for both the state and nation as a whole. Although we have a somewhat larger de-pendence on tourism, there are significant offsets. The most important of those is our link to defense.

SDCNG: What does San Diego's economy

have working in favor of it? Against it?Reaser: For: Our diversity, including

technology, biotech, and defense.Against: The importance of restaurants,

hotels, cruise ships, and transportation, es-pecially parts dependent on foreign travel.

SDCNG: Do you anticipate these stricter

health regulations will become permanent?Reaser: After an effective vaccine be-

comes available, life is likely to look more like our pre-Covid-19 existence than its current mode.

SDCNG: Unemployment is at levels not seen

since the Great Depression a century ago. Are we looking at double-digit unemployment for a protracted period?

Reaser: Unemployment is likely to fall below double-digits by next year as com-panies reopen, call back workers, or hire additional employees. Not all of the same jobs will return, but others will be created and new firms will appear. A year from now with a vaccine could also change the economic landscape in a decidedly positive direction.

SDCNG: Obviously this recession/depression

is a great deal different than the one nearly a century ago. Talk about the differences between now and then.

Reaser: The current situation is very dif-ferent from that of the 1930s. The economy was healthy before Covid-19 with no major imbalances, such as the financial excesses that preceded the Great Depression. This downturn was “engineered” as activity was shut down to contain the virus. And

economic stimulus has been massive in the current situation versus the lack of response during the 1930s.

Fiscal stimulus has already exceeded $3 trillion, leveraged with another $3 trillion of support by the Federal Reserve.

SDCNG: What are the sectors of the econ-

omy that will come back the quickest? Which sectors will have the most trouble coming back?

Reaser: Sectors rebounding the most quickly: Service businesses, doctors and dentist offices, hair salons, nail salons, gyms, and others with pent-up demand.

Most slowly: large entertainment venues, which will be the last to receive legal per-mission to reopen.

Recovery, but at a moderate pace: Restaurants due to more spacing.

SDCNG: Seems like air travel being way

down is going to have an effect on the economy. Would you agree?

Reaser: The reduction in leisure and business travel from outside the region (particularly other states and countries) has hurt hotels, restaurants, and entertain-ment. Some of this loss might be offset in the near-term by greater spending by local residents or people traveling here by car.

SDCNG: If we get a second wave of coronavi-

rus in the fall, could the economy be shut down again? What impact would that have?

Reaser: While the economy might not be legally shut down to the extent as before, people might still prefer to largely “shelter in place,” which could have similar effects.

SDCNG: Let's look on the bright side. What

good has come out of this? Zoom meetings, technology. Anything else?

Reaser: People are incredibly resilient. We have been able to adapt and most have been willing to sacrifice their routines for the common good. Companies and employ-ees have adjusted to remote working and many businesses have found innovative ways to survive until we “get to the other side.”

The “other side” will come. Although the downturn was exceedingly deep and wide-spread, it appears to have already reached its climax in April, with bits of recovery taking place every day. This will mark a very dark spot in economic history, but it will not last forever.

Compromise proposed for short-term vacation rentals in PBBy DAVE SCHWAB

Two Pacific Beach com-munity activists are proposing a compromise

on short-term vacation rentals, a complex issue that has divided communities for years.

“STRs should be strictly regu-lated and limited. This is critical-ly important to the quality of life and community character,” said Scott Chipman who, along with Tom Coat, is offering the prospec-tive accommodation. “With some cooperation among advocates, a true compromise that protects neighborhood character and quality of life can be attained without delaying lawsuits or referendums.”

“In PB, we've been seeking a solution to the growing number of vacation rentals since at least 2007,” said Coat. “We need cour-age and imagination to find a new, more balanced solution that will get us to the goals we want – providing real relief to impacted neighbors, treating historic vaca-tion rentals fairly, preserving ex-isting housing stock for residents, and keeping residential neighbor-hoods residential.”

Added Coat, “We simply can't have a repeat of what happened in 2018. City Council passed a primary-only ordinance, and only then talked about finding a way to enforce it. That's a com-pletely backward approach that won't work. Then, of course, the ordinance lost in the court of public opinion when a successful initiative forced the just-passed

regulations to be rescinded.”Jonah Mechanic, owner of

SeaBreeze Vacation Rentals in La Jolla and president of Share San Diego, Airbnb's San Diego arm, said the short-term rental industry is open-minded about compromise.

“There is more than a 100-year history of short-term rentals in our community, there’s a place for them,” he said. “It’s going to require sacrifices from both sides. It’s the nature of a compromise that neither side walks away (completely) happy. We applaud the efforts of those who under-stand that a compromise is nec-essary. It is the only thing that is going to make progress.”

Mechanic contended the City’s 2018 primary-only residence ordinance was unfair and a non-starter for compromise be-cause it would have restricted short-term rentals to primary-on-ly owners, those living there all

but two or three months out of the year.

“That cuts out the overwhelm-ing majority of the current in-ventory, and data clearly shows that would be a ban with a pret-ty name slapped to it,” Mechanic argued.

Defining the issues, Chipman noted, “STRs often can generate visitors that are noisy, with too many cars, and too many people in a residence, while a concen-tration of STRs loses commu-nity character and permanent residents.”

Chipman made several sugges-tions to remedy that including, freezing the current STR num-ber now; limiting the number of STR permits to one per person/social security number; limiting the number that can be on any particular block, neighborhood, or area; allowing each person to own one plus a primary resi-dence eliminating the corporate takeover of areas; a guideline of two guests per bedroom; adding no more than one person per 200 foot maximum addressing over occupancy; prior to permitting the residence would be inspect-ed and approved for a certain occupancy; no permit would be allowed for any residence with il-legal construction; permits would include a fee to cover regulations, inspections and enforcement; no noise after 10 p.m.; code compli-ance should be available 24/7 with specific officers dedicated to this; violators of noise/dis-turbances would result in fines for both property owners and

occupants; STR permits would be non-transferable to another own-er; and any existing rental unit/home sold would require the new owner to apply for a permit.

Coat noted proponents of ban-ning all non-primary STRs are quick to point to the memoran-dum issued on March 15, 2017, by City Attorney Mara Elliott, which said STRs are prohibited by San Diego's zoning code.

“What they neglect to mention is that the memo also stated that the Municipal Code, as currently written, does not allow the rea-sonable compromise our com-munities seek, a compromise respectful of those who wish to enjoy the quiet enjoyment of their homes, and those who wish to take advantage of the innovation economy,” said Coat. “With a fun-damental and fair change in the way vacation rental complaints are enforced, we believe we can now get to that ‘reasonable com-promise.’ Our communities de-serve nothing less than a lasting,

enforceable, and fair vacation rental solution.”

“The short-term rental in-dustry is on record as favoring several compromise proposals for better regulating STRs,” said Mechanic.

“We have always been support-ive of enforcement of noise and nuisance ordinances,” he said. “We have always been supportive of enforcement of noise and nui-sance ordinances,” he said. “We need to get rules on the books so that both guests and hosts know the rules and know how to follow the rules. For example, we are in full support of no amplified music or outside activity past a realis-tic and agreed upon time in the evening and before an acceptable time in the morning.”

Continued Mechanic: “We’ve also been firmly supportive of paying, through millions of dol-lars collected in permit fees, for dedicated code compliance of-ficers. We would certainly sup-port the maximum occupancy of housing and are also support-ive of making sure the houses being rented are legal. We also agree that fines should be levied against both property manag-ers, and short-term renters, for violations.”

Concluded Mechanic: “The short-term rental industry is in favor of common-sense, simple solutions that are effective and easy to execute. This is a very complicated issue requiring thinking outside the box, and some compromise from both sides.”

Residents have few options when short-term rentals get rowdyBy DAVE SCHWAB

Most interactions be-tween short-term rental users and res-

idents are cordial, but the poten-tial for situations turning ugly also exists.

In Mission Beach on Saturday, June 13, Greg Knight and his Isthmus Court neighbor con-fronted short-term renters at a nearby short-term rental unit

looking for who had parked in Knight’s neighbor’s spot.

“It was about midnight and my neighbor and I were going around house-to-house,” said Knight, who sustained a bro-ken nose during the encounter. “Finally, we were going to push the car out into the red zone and call for a tow truck. It was then that two guys came out of a par-ty and (allegedly) started going berserk.”

Knight claims one of the guys hit him on the side of his head, and kept on punching. “I had blood all over myself, dripping from head to toe. They all ran back into the vacation rental. The next morning they were all gone.”

Knight said he felt lucky be-cause it could have been a lot worse. That same night, there had been a knifing earlier near-by at Belmont Park, where a 50-year-old victim had been stabbed repeatedly by a suspect following a verbal argument.

“All the police were dealing with the stabbings,” said Knight. “A bunch of people called 911 when it was happening and they responded that unless it was a life-threatening evacuation, they would not be able to get down to Mission Beach.”

Added Knight: “The street looked like July 4th after the fire-works with traffic. Police showed up around 5 a.m. to make a report.”

In hindsight, Knight noted: “We should have gotten a photo of the car and the license plate, but we didn't. I would have a very hard time picking the people out of a lineup.”

Knight said what happened to

him underscores the worsening problem of accountability with STRs.

“The real issue is how many times any given night, specifical-ly weekend nights, we are forced to go approach a vacation rental to let them know that the com-munity has rules,” he said. “Each time we go up to these rentals we never know who or what type of person we are approaching. While some are appreciative and say they will be good, others have told me to [buzz] off. Many simply ignore us and continue with the party.”

Pointed out Knight: “The

police are completely unrespon-sive to coming to these STR is-sues unless it is so out of control that immediate danger is hap-pening just from their party. Most times when the police are called they show up two to six hours later when the party has calmed down or gone.”

Knight noted residents have just a few options: Staying inside and trying to ignore the problem; calling the police and hoping they show in time; calling most-ly absentee management com-panies to respond, or trying to reason with renters personally.

“Every time someone comes in, it is a potential issue,” said Knight. “Do you call the police at 2 a.m. when they are out on the patio with a case of beer … probably not. However, how long do you wait before deciding that the situation has gotten out of hand? We can see it coming from a long way away, but with no management oversight, it is only when it is truly out of hand that it gets reported. If a manager was on-site, the number of prob-lems would greatly be reduced.

“This is a huge problem that I have been trying to get people to acknowledge for years,” conclud-ed Knight.

Pacifi c Beach-Clairemont trolley station on schedule for 2021 opening

By DAVE SCHWAB

Pacific Beach community planners were told by a San Diego Association

of Governments engineer in June that the Mid-Coast Trolley extension stopping at a new PB/Clairemont trolley station at Balboa Avenue is on schedule for completion in late 2021.

“The project is on schedule and work continues on the align-ment,” said SANDAG project manager John Dorow, who added work is progressing on retaining walls for the new Balboa Avenue Trolley stop now under construc-tion. “We’re also working on the pedestrian switchback ramp on the north side of Balboa Avenue. The big push for the project is to get these trolley stations up and running.”

On Aug. 1, 2019, San Diego City Council unanimously passed a specific plan calling for greater housing density and multi-modal connectivity for the new Balboa Avenue Trolley Station serving Pacific Beach and Clairemont. That stop is one of nine planned for the Mid-Coast Trolley under development

to extend trolley service from Santa Fe Depot downtown to UTC, and also serving Old Town and UC San Diego, with two stops on-campus.

Trolley construction began in fall 2016. The new Balboa Avenue station is in a transit-ori-ented zone promoting higher housing densities and mass tran-sit including bicycles and other multi-modal uses, as well as re-laxing parking requirements for development.

Dorow noted work crews are busy grading both the Tecolote and Balboa Avenue Trolley stop parking areas. “Work is also wrapping up on the San Diego River Bridge further south,” he said adding, “In the next couple months, work on the reconfig-uring of Friars Road will get un-derway. Work has also begun on the pedestrian ramp connect-ing Tecolote Road with Morena Boulevard, to improve pedestri-an access to the trolley station.”

Karin Zirk, head of envi-ronmental watchdog Friends of Rose Creek, asked Dorow if SANDAG had any updates on completing last mile/first-mile access from the trolley station

on Balboa Avenue to Pacific Beach, and was told that was a work in progress, and that safe access from the trolley station in-to PB would be from the Balboa Avenue Trolley Station, crossing the bridge over Balboa Avenue to the north. From there, it would pick up Santa Fe Street to Damon Avenue, then go west on Damon Avenue until reaching Rose Creek Bikeway on the east side of Damon and Mission Bay Drive. From there, access would link up with the Rose Creek Bike Path traveling to Garnet or Grand avenues, or North Mission Bay Drive, before heading west.

Friends of Rose Creek has sued the City alleging an environmen-tal report on the new Balboa Avenue Trolley Station doesn’t comply with the California Environmental Quality Act in failing to address proposed den-sification near Rose Creek.

Dorow told PB planners the original cost for the 11-mile Mid-Coast Trolley extension was $130 million in 1987 dollars, which did not include interest. He said the current total budget is $2.1 billion, which includes interest.

La Jolla Merchants Association hosts panel on Black Lives Matter By DAVE SCHWAB

La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s June meet-ing was devoted to a pan-

el discussing how the Black Lives Matter movement is changing race relations.

The panel included: Danika Zikas, promoter of the Black Lives Matter flower march in La Jolla on June 12; Rehema Ally-Lifa, LJVMA’s diversity consultant; UC San Diego student Paris Eisenbeiss; SDSU football play-er JR Justice; and Julia Espinoza, LJVMA’s social media manager.

LJVMA executive director Jodi Rudick introduced the panel.

“This is a special program with La Jolla listening to the conversation on race diversity and Black Lives Matter,” she said.

“This issue is all around us, there’s no way for us to sit down and do nothing about it,” said Ally-Lifa. “We need to have this conversation.”

“I grew up in a town, Paradise, in California, that is 92% white,” said Eisenbeiss noting she felt excluded because she was Black. “I decided to try and get as far away as possible. I wanted to be in a community where I felt safe and valued. My white friends would say this is

La Jolla. It’s as safe as it gets. But while it may be safe for you, I don’t have that privilege.”

J.R. Justice, the son of retired Major League Baseball outfield-er David Justice, pointed out our society isn’t color blind.

“The lighter your skin, the bet-ter you’re treated as a Black per-son in America,” he said adding

his father always taught him to ‘be the nicest Black person they ever met,’ if I was ever confront-ed by a police officer. Black peo-ple get searched or stopped just a little bit longer than some who are white.”

“I’m just trying to organize this (flower) march to give Black peo-ple a voice, and for us to stand by

their side to help in any way we can,” said Zikas. “I want to try and push the ideology of peace.”

Espinoza, the girlfriend of Justice, has learned about racism first-hand through being associ-ated with him.

“People always emphasize that I have a Black boyfriend,” she said. “I’ve had to live with that

mentality. This entire movement is about determining what is right and what is wrong.”

Ally-Lifa noted progress is be-ing made in race relations demon-strated by “how prevalent Black Lives Matter is and how police re-form now is banning chokeholds, that should never have existed in the first place.”

“Change doesn’t happen over-night,” pointed out Eisenbeiss. “There are battles that still need to be fought – and won. We need to see that this change is for real.”

“It seems like every time we take a step forward, we take two steps back,” cautioned Zikas.

“I want people to open their eyes about prejudice and injus-tice,” said Justice. “It’s happen-ing. It’s much deeper than people think.”

Panelists were asked by Rudick what merchants can do to help further the cause of Black Lives Matter.

“They need to talk about hiring a more diverse group of employ-ees,” answered Ally-Lifa.

“They need to stand for diver-sity,” said Espinoza. “Maybe you could add things about African music, culture, and dance to your programs.”

“I’d like to thank these young people for coming together,” said Rudick.

Village seeks solutions for parking and street signageBy DAVE SCHWAB

In June, La Jolla Traffic & Transportation Committee got an update from the

La Jolla Village Merchants Association on establishing a new street signage program to help people find their way more easily in the Village.

“We are exploring ways to miti-gate some of the traffic issues that are caused by parking, working with Ace Mobility, our parking consultant,” said Jodi Rudick, LJVMA executive director. “We’re excited about maybe introducing some electronic signage to help people understand where they might be parking.”

The goal, said Rudick, is to pres-ent the new cutting-edge Village wayfinding sign program to all La Jolla civic groups.

“Ultimately, we could move forward with developing an ac-tual consulting plan,” Rudick said. “We understand there are a lot of issues related to traffic and parking in La Jolla. But we also have come to know there are a lot of excess parking spaces in La Jolla that aren’t be utilized, that is hidden in (parking) garages and paid parking spots.”

Added Rudick: “We also under-stand we are not going to change the personalities of people who want to find free spots. But we feel we can improve on ways for people to find paid spots so that we don’t have to search for them.

And that there can be better sig-nage, and better information, that people can use to get to those parking garages quicker.”

Rudick noted the data she was presenting to the LJT&T board was pre-Covid-19, given that there hasn’t been time yet to calculate just how the pandemic has changed people’s parking and shopping habits.

“We know that parking is much more difficult in La Jolla in terms of garage parking during the week,” Rudick concluded. “And if we can better educate people on where those spaces are, that

would be fantastic.”Pointed out Rudick, “Even

during our biggest special events we don’t have our garages full. We also have an opportunity, with the public transit (Mid-Coast Trolley) coming into La Jolla, for more bus connectors that would come from the trolley into the Village on a more regular basis.”

But Rudick warned: “We still don’t have this signage once they get here. So this is both a pedes-trian – and parking – challenges that we need to mitigate with one solution.”

Moving forward, Rudick said

the idea now is to “create a park-ing communication campaign, and also parking assistance, with permanent, two-dimensional and also digital signs.”

Added the LJVMA executive di-rector: “It’s not just our visitors and tourists who need to park. We think that La Jollans could be better educated that there are parking garages, and maybe even look at a local discount program there. Everything is on the table right now.”

The signage program will be done in phases said Rudick.

“The next phase is a high-tech option that would allow for people to see that there are 43 spaces available on Parking Level 3, and 400 spaces on Level Four,” she said adding, “You’ll also be able to see ex-actly where those spaces are. These tech options are already available to us, though I like to take things one step at a time.”

Concluded Rudick, “We’re talking about creating some signage directories in key spots, to tie into the whole pe-destrian experience with the Village atmosphere. We want to do the program first in the Village. But then our goal is we can connect our neighboring communities, Bird Rock and La Jolla Shores.”

Of signage progress, Rudick said, “The designs have not been made yet. But we are ready to push the button.”

City adopts policies for SDPD to de-escalate, intervene against unreasonable force

Following a series of pub-lic meetings earlier this month to hear feedback

on community and police rela-tions, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer announced on June 24 that the San Diego Police Department has created standalone policies to help officers reduce the use of force and increase community trust.

The department’s new stand-alone de-escalation policy now requires off icers to exercise techniques that seek to resolve situations through voluntary compliance or with lower lev-els of force. A second policy has been added to require officers to intervene if another officer uses unreasonable force and reports the incident to a supervisor. These two new, standalone pol-icies accompany at least six oth-ers at SDPD that help to preserve public safety and protect against the unnecessary loss of life.

“The NAACP San Diego branch is pleased to see SDPD update its policies” said Francine Maxwell, president of NAACP San Diego. “This is the first step of many to begin to bring about change in San Diego for all its citizens. Police officers are sworn to protect citizens from harm and the department has added new language to duty to intervene policy that clearly has account-ability built in. The NAACP San Diego branch looks forward to continuing the conversation.”

The policies adhere to recom-mended changes voted on by the City’s Community Review Board on Police Practices and the Citizens Advisory Board on Police/Community Relations.

"The protection and preser-vation of life must be the fore-most objective of law enforce-ment, and these new policies ensure this value is part of how every SDPD officer operates," Faulconer said. "These chang-es do not represent the crossing of a finish line, but they do rep-resent the bottom line, a foun-dation of trust we are working to build upon. It's an important step forward, and joins reforms previously enacted that in their totality will help save lives."

DE-ESCALATION POLICY The new standalone de-esca-

lation policy now requires po-lice officers to use disengage-ment techniques – when safe, reasonable and based on the totality of circumstances – to attempt to persuade a subject to voluntarily comply or reduce the need to use a higher level of force.

Gaining voluntary com-pliance enhances officer and public safety, helps officers to defuse a situation, mitigates unintended consequences, and establishes police legitimacy and community trust.

De-escalation procedures include:• Creating distance and a buffer

zone between the officer and the subject;

• Establishing an effective line of communication with the subject, considering factors such as mental illness, pos-sible intoxication, and po-tential medical or physical conditions;

• Considering other available resources, including special-ized units, psychiatric emer-gency response team clini-cians, and negotiators.Officers shall take into con-

sideration a subject's ability to understand and communicate effectively, present lawful or-ders, and request cooperation with clear and concise direc-tion; and attempt to establish trust and cooperatively de-es-calate situational conflict.

When of f icers encounter subjects, who do not voluntari-ly comply, reasonable levels of force may be used to resolve the situation.

DUTY TO INTERVENE POLICYThe new standalone duty to

intervene policy now requires officers to step in and prevent the use of unreasonable force if they observe another officer us-ing force beyond what is neces-sary. An officer shall intervene using actions such as verbally advising the other officer or physical restraining the other officer to prevent or stop an es-calation of force.

When safe to do so, the of-ficer shall report the interven-tion to a supervisor as soon as possible. The supervisor shall immediately notify their chain of command and/or the watch commander’s off ice and the appropriate unit shall imme-diately begin an investigation.

Appropriate disciplinary ac-tion, consistent with SDPD policy and applicable law, will be taken against an off icer who fails to intervene when required.

OTHER POLICE REFORMS The de-escalation and duty

to intervene policies join sev-eral others recently revised or already on the books at SDPD. Use of these eight policies can significantly reduce deaths ac-cording to police reform groups.

Previous policies put in place include:• Exhausting all alternatives

before discharging a weapon;• The requirement to report all

use of force;• A ban on chokeholds, stran-

gleholds and the carotid restraint;

• The establishment of a use of force continuum;

• Restrictions on shooting at moving vehicles;

• Requiring a warning before discharging a weapon.Faulconer is committed to

continuing to evaluate City operations, alongside the com-munity, in the pursuit of mean-ingful reform toward racial eq-uity. The Community Review

Board on Police Practices and the Citizens Advisory Board on Police/Community Relations will continue to serve as forums to address these issues as it re-lates to law enforcement.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING“We will continue to work

tirelessly to build trust and en-sure consistent training while maintaining an honest dia-logue with the communities we serve,” said Chief David Nisleit. “The policies we’re implement-ing today give clarity and direc-tion not only to officers but to the community of what to ex-pect from us.”

"Mayor Falconer and Chief Nisleit should be commended for listening to the commu-nity and adopting national-ly recognized best practices and policies,” said Doug Case, member of the Community Review Board. “In particular, I am pleased that SDPD has de-veloped a robust de-escalation policy as recommended by the Community Review Board on Police Practices."

“The SDPD is listening and taking action and this is ex-actly what we need now more than ever,” said Bishop William

Benson. “I want to thank Chief Nisleit and Mayor Faulconer for listening and acting to make important changes that advance mutual goals to keep our communities safe.”

“I want to thank Mayor Faulconer’s office for soliciting community feedback and to the San Diego Police Department for listening to the community,” said Stephen Groce, Chair of the Human Relations Commission. “The proposed recommen-dations from the community will help to increase oversight and help continue to guide fu-ture discussion to continue improving the department. Community engagement is the building block of achieving fu-ture goals for San Diego Police Department and the public it serves.

Old-school Fitness West open and following health protocolsBy DAVE SCHWAB

Fitness West is back in business and doing what it does best: stay-

ing old-school and keeping the homespun feel that has made the gym a Pacific Beach fixture for 30-plus years.

“We’re the oldest, lon-gest-running gym here,” said Brian Curry who co-owns the second-floor facility, along with partner Shari Simpson, which is located at 1880 Garnet Ave. in Pacific Plaza II Shopping Center. “We’re locally owned, locally operated. It’s not corporate. It’s just like your gym. It’s just like a family.”

The pair purchased the busi-ness a couple of years ago from previous owners Peter and Paul Dufour.

Curry is quick to point out all social-distancing protocols are strictly observed.

“We take every member’s temperature coming through the door, so if something should ever happen, we’ve got a record of who’s been in here,” he said, noting no one has had a fever yet more than a week after reopening.

“Masks are highly recom-mended,” noted Curry, adding members are gradually return-ing. “When people work out, they wipe down everything

before and after,” he said. “And we’re always cleaning.”

Recalling what it was like when they were forced to close March 19 Curry said, “We knew it was coming.”

“It was in the afternoon and it was surreal,” said Simpson. “It was so stepping into the unknown.”

“It was nerve-wracking,” agreed Curry. “But we knew we

were in it with everybody else.”“We locked the door, and we

were not sure what tomorrow was going to hold for the gym, or life in general,” said Simpson recalling members asking her, ‘When are you going to be back open? We had no idea.’ It was shock, anxiety, and despair. And then back to anxiety.”

“At that time you had to be closed through the rest of March,” said Curry. “That was just a weird time and we just kept waiting for the reopening.”

“We repainted the whole gym,” said Curry of what they did with Fitness West during the three-month downtime. “We did the deepest sanitiz-ing there ever was. The other things we had to do were all the precautionary signage relative to Covid-19.”

“We had to do the one-way f low of traffic in here,” added Simpson. “We had the proposed guidelines we were prepping for, and then just a couple of days be-fore, they (state) released what the actual ones (guidelines) were, which were different. So there was a lot of scrambling around and trying to get ready for the unknown so that when the trigger was pulled, we could get right on it. But we were kind of jockeying back and forth with what we needed to do.”

“The process here isn’t really

difficult for members,” assured Curry. “We don’t get packed in here so we don’t have to take reservations to use the gym, be-cause we can keep our six-foot social distancing. We do take reservations though for classes because we don’t put more than 10 people in. And so we have marks on the floor where peo-ple can set up a yoga mat or a bike. And then after each class, we do the mister which puts down a layer of Covid-killing disinfectant.”

While Brian concentrated on applying for stimulus loans, Shari was busy concentrating on “what we could bring to the members at home: she said add-ing, “We recorded classes and gave them to our members for free on YouTube. We did quite a few classes and a variety. We got a lot of feedback saying, ‘Natalie’s yoga class really saved me.’”

“People, it was all of a sudden, they couldn’t go to the gym: It’s part of their life,” said Brian.

“It’s physical and mental health,” noted Shari.

Curry pointed out that the gym experience is a social one, and one that, now thankfully, people can once again enjoy.

“People want to come back to the gym,” he concluded. “They’re upbeat, optimistic. They want to stay healthy.”

Shopping in La Jolla – merchants reopen for summer guests

Are you wondering if you can go shopping now in La Jolla? I decided to ask some of the local merchants about their experience with Covid-19 and if they have reopened.

My first interview was with Izzy Tihanyi, who is co-own-er of Surf Diva with her sister Coco for the past 24 years. They have been 100% shut down for three months. She and her sis-ter always wanted to have an online business and as a result of Covid-19 they actually created one for their customers. This was one of the positive results from the lockdown.

They are back in the store now and are being safe and responsi-ble. The safety of the customer matters, so they are still doing curbside pickups for who still want it. They ask that customers wear masks, stand 6 feet apart, and they will provide hand san-itizers. In addition, they recon-figured the store making it easier for people to stand 6 feet apart.

After a customer tries on a garment they will steam clean them, and after trying on sun-glasses they will disinfect with a Clorox wipe. They also sell masks

and face shields for customers. The third part of their business

is running surf camps and pri-vate surf lessons. They have had to reduce the size of the groups to four kids with one coach. Presently they have sessions available for July and August. The city raised their fee from 10% to 16%, which makes run-ning the camps very difficult. Currently City Councilman, Barbara Bry is looking into this for them. With reduced sizes of classes and the increase of the San Diego Real Estate Assets Fee, it makes running a business challenging.

Next I talked with design-er Christiann Moore, who launched her first collection last November. She had prepared to showcase her spring collection at the Vancouver BC Fashion

Week around the end of March until Canada closed its borders. During this pandemic she was able to facetime her pattern mak-ers so that they could continue working on the pattern process.

Moore said that people were slow to come back so she began rethinking everything. She de-cided to back down from mass producing garments. The basic reason was that her manufac-turer had sold their business and weren’t reopening. Now she has decided to go in another direc-tion and to make one-off. This way they will be able to make on-ly one and not repeat the pattern. She wants to utilize only natural fabrics and work towards repur-posing patterns and resourcing fabrics.

Luckily she and her husband have another business with soft-ware for manufacturing applica-tion and it is booming right now. She plans to go to the Vancouver BC Fashion Week next year.

I was talking with Allyson Si mone, the manager of Charleston Shoes. She said they were closed during this time and they are now fully opened. Talking with the Ralph Lauren store, they said they had virtual appointments such as Facetime and Zoom with customers during the pandemic. Currently they are back in the store with regular hours again.

The next store that I interviewed was with the owner of GK Fashion House, Giti Kooshkani. New to La Jolla, she had launched her store on March 20 and had to imme-diately turn around and shut her doors almost the next day.

For the most part they were closed the entire lockdown ex-cept for finishing some custom work for clients. Kooshkani said that her Prospect Avenue bou-tique is open now from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Mondays-Saturdays and by appointment on Sundays. Customers are required to wear a mask and not more than four people in the store at a time.

She said that the tourists are starting to come back, especially U.S. tourists. Kooshkani is positive about the future and said that she sees local businesses cleaning up, changing signs, and getting ready for a new start.

Community outbreaks high, record number of Covid cases reported in San DiegoBY JOSÉ A. ÁLVAREZ

The County on June 24 announced eight com-munity outbreaks have

occurred in the past seven days. The outbreaks were identified in businesses, a campground, a social club, a restaurant, private homes and a federal facility.

Covid-19 community outbreaks are one of 13 metrics the County is monitoring that could trigger new restrictions. The measure stipulates that no more than sev-en new outbreaks can be reported over a seven-day period. A com-munity outbreak is defined as

three or more Covid-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households.

Also, 332 Covid-19 cases were reported June 23, a new record for the region and another indica-tion that the virus continues to be widespread. Given the number of Covid-19 community outbreaks be-ing identified and the higher num-ber of cases, the County has paused the reopening of additional sectors of the economy and won’t move for-ward, even if the state releases new guidance, until it is safe to do it.

OUTBREAK RESPONSEWhen a Covid-19 outbreak is

connected to a business, such as a restaurant, it closes on its own to make sure all of its policies and pro-cedures are being followed. Those include appropriate hygiene and sanitation, the use of face coverings, physical distancing and employee and customer health screenings.

“Most businesses are very respon-sible because they want to protect their employees and their custom-ers,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer.

Public vigilance remains es-sential. “It’s important for people to remember that the virus has not gone away,” Wooten said. “As more people interact with each

other, the risk for exposure in-creases. People should stay home as much as possible.”

As more industries open up and San Diegans more frequently leave home, they must do the following to protect themselves and the pub-lic’s health:• Practice good hand hygiene and

sanitation;• Keep six feet apart;• Wear a face covering;• Avoid crowded places;• Stay home if they are sick.

FACE COVERINGS MANDATORY STATEWIDE

Today, the State issued new

guidance that now requires all Californians to wear a face cov-ering when in public and close to people outside their household. People must wear face coverings when they are in high-risk situa-tions such as:• Inside of, or in line to enter, any

indoor public space;• Getting services at a doctor’s office,

hospital, pharmacy, dental office, veterinary clinic or blood bank;

• Waiting for or riding on pub-lic transportation or while in a taxi, private car service, or ride-sharing vehicle.

Experience nature, but stay clear of seals and sea lions during pupping seasonThe harbor seal and sea

lion colonies in La Jolla offer visitors a chance to

view these pinnipeds in the wild and their natural habitat. The Sierra Club Seal Society adminis-ters a docent program to protect both the harbor seal and sea lion colonies for ecological, education-al, scientific, historic, and scenic opportunities.

The group also works with city officials, educational institutions and gives presentations upon re-quest. They are often speaking with visitors on the beach and an-swering questions about behavior, reproduction, and longevity. The following is one of many uplifting Sierra Club Seal Society docent sto-ries from Robyn Davidoff.

“It was late July and more than 100 sea lions at La Jolla Point were on the rocks and beach. It was a good year with more than 53 births so far. The pups were about 4 weeks old walking on all four flippers and practiced swimming in the small pools created when the tide went out.

“I was on the rocks overlook-ing the point answering tourists’ questions such as How long is the gestation period (9-12 months)? What do sea lions eat (fish, squid, shellfish)? How much do they weigh (600-800 pounds)? What predators do they have?

“After explaining that each

adult female has only one pup per year, the visitors asked, ‘Where are all of the moms?’ I explained that many sea lions were out to sea hunting in the kelp beds 6 miles offshore leaving their pups on the rocks huddled together in a nursery.”

“Just then I noticed a sea lion come out of the water and up onto the rocks and she began a specific call to her pup. They were

far apart, perhaps 30 yards. I sug-gested to the visitors that if they backed up about 15 feet and gave the sea lions a clear path, they may see the mom and pup reunite.

“It was like magic. People stepped back and the mom and pup continued to call each other until they reunited with a nose touch. Once the mom confirmed that the pup was hers, she rolled over and the pup began nursing.

We all were amazed to experience this natural event and we all got great photos.”

Sea lions are protected by the Marine Mammal Act and Municipal Codes. NOAA view-ing guidelines suggest viewing from a distance of 50 yards. Best viewing spots are on the seawall at the Children’s Pool for harbor seals and on the sidewalk in front of the Woman’s Bridge Club at La

Jolla Point for sea lions. Sea lion pupping season started

in June and it is critical that moms and pups are not disturbed, sepa-rated, or touched. Mother sea lions will abandon their pups if touched and pups are not good swimmers until they are a few months old so give them plenty of space.

Science through Zoom teaches area elementary studentsBy DAVE SCHWAB

Youth science programs, like school in general, have gone remote due

to the coronavirus pandemic.“When the schools shifted to

online learning we pivoted as well to conducting our science through Zoom,” said Danielle Adler, M.Ed, a local parent and small-business owner of San Diego Youth Science, LLC. “In our first session, we helped stu-dents explore the red tide phe-nomenon that occurred at the beginning of the quarantine, collecting plankton samples from the ocean, identifying

species with students through a live feed microscope, and tying in into the local research about bioluminescence at Scripps.”

Adler began her hands-on youth science programs about five years ago beginning at Pacific Beach Elementary with all of their K-5th grade students, before branching out to include Barnard Elementary and Kate Sessions Elementary schools.

Added Adler, “In our second session we worked with local fish-ermen to explore the biodiversity of plants and animals found in our local tide pool habitat.”

“I’ve been busy the last five years teaching live marine

science to kids in the Mission Beach Cluster with my busi-ness,” said Adler, noting she’s utilizing the newest science con-tent standards known as Next Generation Science.

NGSS are K-12 science content standards developed by states to improve science education for all students. A goal for devel-oping the NGSS was to create a set of research-based, up-to-date K-12 science standards, giving local educators the flexibility to design classroom learning expe-riences that stimulate students’ interests in science preparing them for college, careers, and citizenship.

Adler has adopted a newer more cutting-edge curriculum because teachers needed to better understand the differ-ent ways they could work more broadly with science standard content.

“The idea is that students and the teachers are working togeth-er in this collaboration with the curriculum. It’s really a team effort.”

The science instructor spends a lot of her time developing les-sons incorporating local re-search to “make it relevant to our population of students.”

“As an example, this year I did a session on climate data work-ing with Scripps Institution of Oceanography with ocean sediments,” said Adler, adding, “A lot of time in the classroom, teachers can’t make those con-nections with local research.”

Adler described her re-mote-learning science process.

“The way it works is school parent organizations bring us in,” she said. “We have a con-tract for a year to enhance sci-ence. It’s really unique, develop-ing science-mindedness involv-ing these younger students.”

Adler noted remote learning has come in handy teaching sci-ence during the pandemic while kids aren’t physically allowed to attend school.

16 FRIDAY · JUNE 26, 2020BEACH & BAY PRESS / LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS COMMUNITY

I have aged fi ve decades in three months during isolation — ouch!

Just a few months ago, before the COVID-19 pandemic, I was in my 20s. I served on eight commit-tees in my retirement community as well as two boards in the San Diego community. I spent time in our gym, had a personal trainer, my assistant came four days a week, and two couples — good friends — were not allowed to go to a movie without me. I often had business lunches and dinners out, and then there were all the lectures, plays, and concerts that our retirement community bus took us to several times a week. I complained I was too busy, run-ning from one event to another, and had no time in between. I clocked around 10,000 steps on

my Apple Watch every day. I felt invulnerable and ageless (as long as I didn’t look at that incongru-ent image reflected in the mirror).

Then… BOOM! The pandemic struck, and we were confined to our apartments with all public areas closed, no dining room, no gym, no pool, no beach walks, no meeting friends, no going any-where. So in just a few months I went from my mid-twenties to my mid-nineties.

My current activities have dwindled to picking up my mail and going to the clinic down the hall to get my blood pressure checked. I exercise with a Zoom class, which gives a choice of sit-ting or standing; I choose sitting. We have weekly Current Events and a plethora of other meetings via Zoom, such as opera talks and UC San Diego panel discussions on topics such as how COVID-19 is impacting mental health. I am becoming an expert in the latter.

I only get to see my friends on

Zoom, little heads in rectangu-lar boxes with a vacant stare. If we want to talk, the speaker must unmute us, and we await our turn. When our little box is highlighted, it is our turn to ask a question or make a comment. By then, I have usually forgot-ten what I wanted to say. When someone actually smiles, the speaker, who can only relate to the camera, must have said some-thing funny—I missed it.

There is a short walk between my apartment and the dining room. I walk back and forth like an animal in a cage moving be-tween steel bars. I try to clock 4,000 steps a day because I read that it is the minimum to avoid a cardio vascular event. Others are also walking back and forth, all of us wearing masks. White roots are growing out slowly, catching up with the brown hairs on people’s heads. Our toe nails are growing so long that soon we would be able to climb trees. I am

wearing a smashing outfit: navy blue cotton pants with a white shirt, a gift from British Airways when they were giving out these pajamas to passengers flying to Europe. It goes very well with the pandemic.

Gary, our executive director, had made a request to the pow-ers that be, the Department of Social Services (DSS), to allow some of us independent residents to go to some activities, such as eating outside the dining room or going to the beach or our gym; all were denied as we are in the same building with assisted liv-ing, skilled nursing, and memory care. We are a senior care facili-ty and will open last. I wonder if this means by the end of the year? Are we looking at Christmas in isolation? All in all, I do appreci-ate living in a bubble with three meals a day delivered to my door. Recently, the pool opened to one resident at a time for 45 minutes. Our hairdresser is now allowed to

cut hair, and a podiatrist is com-ing to take care of our toe nails. A staff person has been assigned to do the shopping for us, such as marketing or going to the post of-fice. A maid cleans our rooms ev-ery two weeks. There are nurses 24/7 and a doctor down the hall every morning. So far, we have zero infections. It could be a lot worse. I am grateful for the won-derful staff who do all they can to make us comfortable.

My daughter, who lives in Toronto, told me not to get sick because she can’t come. All flights in and out of Canada are canceled, so I need to follow her directives and stay healthy — wearing my mask, washing my hands, and maintaining social distancing.

There is a Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” We certainly are doing that.

CROWN POINT ELEMENTARY FIELD CLOSED

The City has responded to queries from PB residents as to why Crown Point Elementary, a joint-use facility between the City Parks Department and San Diego Unified School District, is closed.

“Joint-use fields through-out the City were closed in response to state and local

health orders as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic,” said City spokesperson Tim Graham. “As the City begins to gradually reopen, the Parks and Recreation Department is working with SDUSD to reopen all of its joint-use fields via phased approach. It is anticipated that all of the City’s joint-use fields will be reopened by June 30.

NO LA JOLLA FIREWORKS“The f ire marshal will not

be issuing permits for f ire-works displays this Fourth of July in San Diego,” said Deborah Marengo, who has organized La Jolla’s annual Cove Independence Day fire-works for years. “So all dis-plays have been canceled. La Jolla Community Fireworks will be planning for 2021.”

For its f irst quarter-centu-ry, the annual La Jolla Cove f ireworks display, begun by La Jolla restaurateur George Hauer in 1985, went almost without a hitch. Then came legal challenges al leging environmental damage to the ocean from the annual coastal, one-day pyrotech-nic display.

After Hauer stepped back

rel i nquish i ng cont rol of the event, it was saved by the formation of a grass-roots group, the La Jol la C o m m u n i t y F i r e w o r k s Foundation. Spearheaded by Marengo, LJCF worked for years to raise the approxi-mately $60,000 — and ris-ing — cost of staging an an-nual community f ireworks display.

La Jolla street names – celebrated scientists replaced original names By KATHERINE HON

The original names of more than 250 streets in San Diego were changed by

Ordinance No. 755 adopted May 21, 1900. This ordinance eliminat-ed duplication and achieved some continuity where street names changed from tract to tract.

The source of replacement names in Ordinance No. 755 was Louis Jackson Davids, the relative-ly new city engineer. He noted in his transmittal memorandum to the Board of Public Works that his suggestions for new street names were “taken from natural objects (trees, flowers etc.) or from men celebrated in Science, Literature, Statesmanship, War etc.; care be-ing taken to maintain alphabetical order.”

These celebrated gentlemen in-clude military heroes in La Playa and scientists in La Jolla and Clairemon-Bay Park.

CELEBRATED SCIENTISTSCity Engineer Davids provided

an alphabetical series of engineers and scientists for La Jolla to replace street names that were duplicated elsewhere. Gone now are Agassiz, Borden and Ictinus, which re-placed Vine Street, Olive Avenue and Garfield Avenue. Remaining today are Cuvier, Draper, Eads, Fay, Girard and Herschel streets, which replaced Palm, Orange,

Washington, New York, Grand and Lincoln avenues, respectively.

Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) was a French naturalist referred to as the “founding father of paleontol-ogy.” John William Draper (1811-1882) produced the first detailed photograph of the moon in 1840 and helped establish the New York University School of Medicine. Several of Davids’ other replace-ment names were gentlemen re-nowned for significant engineering accomplishments.

James Buchanan Eads (1820-1887) designed and built the first road and rail bridge over the Mississippi River south of the Missouri River at St. Louis. The steel and wrought iron bridge was completed in 1874 and is still in use today. It is on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark and is the oldest bridge on the river.

John Doane Fay (1815-1895) was an American civil engineer who helped reconstruct the Long Bridge over the Potomac River. He was Resident Engineer on the New York State canals from 1841 to 1849 and Division Engineer on state canals during the 1850s and 1870s.

Pierre-Simon Girard (1765-1836) was a French mathematician and engineer in charge of the planning and construction of the Canal de l’Ourcq, a 67-mile-long canal with 10 locks located northeast of Paris

that was initiated upon orders of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802.

In the Clairemont/Bay Park neighborhoods just east of pres-ent-day I-5, Davids replaced let-tered street names B through Q with celebrated men of science. Lost to other changes are Bartrum, Corliss, Darwin, Field, Miller, Pasteur and Quain. Remaining names are Edison, Gesner, Huxley, Ingulf, Jellett, Kane, Lister, Napier and Orten.

These scientists include Abraham Pineo Gesner (1797-1864), a Canadian physician with a passion for geology who developed kerosene — which helped replace whale oil as a lighting fuel, thus saving many whale lives.

Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) was an English biologist and anthropologist who concluded that birds evolved from small dinosaurs based on his comparative anato-my research. John Hewitt Jellett (1817-1888) was an Irish mathe-matician who wrote “A Treatise on the Theory of Friction,” and John Napier (1550-1617) was a Scottish mathematician, physi-cist and astronomer who invented logarithms.

LA PLAYA’S MILITARY HEROES

The Point Loma neighborhood of La Playa — which began where ships first landed at the southern end of the peninsula — appropri-ately gained street names reflect-ing historic naval heroes with Ordinance No. 755.

A remnant of Hull Street — which replaced Colorado Street on an early La Playa map — honors Commodore Isaac Hull (1773-1843), who took command of the USS Constitution from Commodore John Rodgers in 1810 and success-fully led the ship in battle during the War of 1812. He later com-manded the Washington Navy Yard. Commodore is a rank be-tween captain and rear admiral.

Other street names provid-ed by Davids that remain in La Playa include the alphabetical se-ries Jenkins, Kellogg, Lawrence, McCall, Nichols, Owen, Perry,

Qualtrough and Rogers. These names replaced Pearl, James, John, George, William, Short, Ricardo and two unnamed streets, respectively.

On these streets, the theme of naval heroes continues. For ex-ample, Captain James Lawrence (1781-1813) commanded the USS Chesapeake in the War of 1812 and was mortally wounded in a battle with the British Royal Navy frigate Shannon. His dying com-mand, “Don’t give up the ship” was immortalized on the battle flag of his friend and fellow naval hero Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry (1785-1819), who was well regard-ed for his success in the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie.

Commodore Perry’s younger brother, Matthew Calbraith Perry (1794-1858), also achieved com-modore rank. He commanded the USS Shark, on which he sailed to Key West to plant the U.S. flag and claim the land as a U.S. Territory after Florida was transferred to the U.S. He became famous for help-ing open Japan to U.S. influence. The younger Perry served under his brother and several other of-ficers honored with street names by City Engineer Davids, includ-ing William Bainbridge, Stephen Decatur and John Rodgers, which was spelled “Rogers” in Ordinance No. 755.

Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s original battle flag emblazoned with Captain James Lawrence’s dying command is displayed at the U.S. Naval Academy Museum in Annapolis, Md. Both naval heroes of the War of 1812 are honored with street names in La Playa. (Courtesy of New York State Offi ce of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation)
