“We are eager to open the schools,” San Diego Unified School District board member Mike McQuary told the La Jolla Cluster Association at its Feb. 18 meeting as many parents voice differing opinions on how soon that should happen.
The association is composed of parent and staff representatives from the five La Jolla public schools in San Diego Unified.

Ellen Goodwill s birthday celebration on Tuesday was unlike any other in her 114 years on earth.
The resident of Advantage Living Center in Battle Creek waved through a window to longtime friends gathered in the parking lot, followed by a private party with staff featuring a cake donated from Continental Pastries & Delicatessen before she was wheeled through the halls of the care facility she has called home since 2007 for a celebratory birthday parade. I was excited to see her. I wanted to just touch her and hold her and kiss her, but quite naturally we blew kisses from the window, said Sharon Miller, a family friend for over 60 years. She lit up like a Christmas tree and was happy. The nurses and staff there were surrounding her with love.
