In response to Rachel S. Imper’s letter “Casa Beach Moratorium” (April 28, Page 6), I can no longer tolerate letters from out-of-state visitors who choose to dictate how La Jollans should deal with Casa Beach and the Children’s Pool. As a native La Jollan born in the old hospital on Prospect Street whose family first came here in the 1930s and worked in the fabled Green Dragon Colony and the old hospital, I would respectfully suggest that visitors enjoy the surroundings and keep their opinions to themselves. La Jolla’s Children’s Pool/Casa Beach has only recently (the last 15 years) experienced an influx of pinnipeds. Some say the seals don’t have much beach to haul up onto, but humans have access to, as Imper states, “99.9 percent of the beaches.” If Imper and other out-of-state visitors checked maps of the California coastline, the seals are the ones who have access to all those beaches. There are other reasons why they are coming ashore in various places along the California coast, even hauling up onto piers in other locations, that should be investigated. As one of the La Jolla natives who was taught to swim at the Children’s Pool well over 50 years ago and whose family members spent many hours at Casa Beach, I happily accept the threat that Imper makes of refusing to visit La Jolla and “spend money at your hotels and restaurants.” Perhaps she could also help us convince the seal activists and eco-terrorists to abandon us as well, so our beautiful coastline would no longer be littered with tables and flyers and hawkers proselytizing and begging for dollars. Imper and the rest of the tourists: I respectfully suggest that you and the other visitors you refer to think seriously before telling us La Jollans what to do. How would you feel if hundreds of thousands of visitors came to your town or city and began dictating how you should run things? How would you like that? — J.
