New Central Library opens amid literary fanfare With its gleaming silver dome etched across downtown’s cityscape, the new, nine-story central library was officially dedicated Sept. 28 with praise, song and cheers from a throng of well-wishers.

“Luminous, inspiring, iconic, the San Diego Central Library is a beacon of knowledge,” said city librarian Deborah Barrow of the new flagship of the municipal library system with its 35 neighborhood branches.

At the Sept. 28 dedication, Barrow said the facility was “30 years in the making” and “a dream come true.”

The new facility replaces the former library at 820 E. St., which was built 57 years ago to serve

about 15,000 patrons when the city’s population was less than 500,000. Today, the city’s population is 1.25 million and more than 480,000 people use the central library alone.

Barrow said the new $196.7 million building is centrally located with easy access by freeway, trolley, bus or air.

“Do we need a central library in the age of the Internet?” asked Barrow, answering, “Yes, and we’ve got one.”

The design of the new, 497,652square-foot Central Library building at 330 Park Blvd. reflects the input of hundreds of people who participated in a yearlong series of public workshops. Based on their

input, the joint-venture team of Rob Wellington Quigley FAIA and

Tucker Sadler Architects collaborated on the structure of the building, which includes bay-view terraces, roof gardens, a state-ofthe-art auditorium and a public reading room.

Barrow said there’s something for everyone at the new library, whether it’s the children’s library with its Dr. Seuss mural, the beachthemed teen center designed for and by teens, the expansive specialevent room or the “beautiful and quiet” library reading room under the landmark latticed dome.

“The San Diego Central Library is poised to nourish hungry minds, connect people to one another and provide a wealth of knowledge,” she said Barrow. “This new library

is exactly what San Diego needs.”

SDUSD Superintendent Cindy Marten talked about the significance of the new library in fostering literacy.

“As a teacher I know the importance of literacy and libraries can change lives,” Marten said. “This really is a dream come true for many children and their families to see the conditions created where all children become actively literate, contributing members of society. We need you — and we need this library.”

Local small business has a chance to shine during Superbowl

When asked how to get to Carnegie Hall, the famed violinist Yascha Heifetz replied, “Practice!

Practice!” So, how does one get to the Super Bowl?

The annual championship game is one of the year’s biggest sporting events, watched by over 100 million people worldwide. But the show is often stolen by the incredible video ads that are broadcast between plays and at halftime — 30- to 90-second vignettes eagerly anticipated by viewers.

Given the huge number of eyes that are focused on the content, the cost of each ad can run as much as $4 million, far beyond the reach of small businesses that make up the economic heart of our country.

Until now.

Intuit, the maker of Quickbooks and other small business software, is running a contest that can place the lucky winner in front of the world. First prize is an ad specially created for it that will be aired during the Super Bowl.

Round 1 of the contest has already been completed. Round 2 is now under way. And the lucky local small business that has made it to round 2 is … (drum roll) …

Double Happiness Jewelry and its creative head, Stephanie Wells.

Like Microsoft and Apple, the company was started in a garage.

Wells began to design and market unique handmade jewelry that immediately became popular locally. Then, with the help of her sister, Alisa Rottenberg, who runs Daisy Mae PR in New York City, Wells came to the attention of Diane von Furstenberg and the other judges of the city’s Fashion Week event. She won and was invited to be part of the festivities.

Since then, Wells’ designs have been sold in stores all over the world. Her jewelry is worn by many celebrities, including Oprah and Beyonce, and has been worn by models gracing hundreds of covers of fashion magazines, including those appearing in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

Since all of her jewelry is handmade, Wells creates jobs. She also provides needed education and income opportunities to struggling women in other countries, notably Africa. Her guiding theme is, “Making the world a better place, one piece of jewelry at a time.”

Wells is a local businesswoman, entrepreneur and hero. That’s how one gets to the Super Bowl.

La Jolla Wellness offers low-impact health for just minutes a day With the ever-increasing desire to get in shape comes new and more innovative ways to do so. La Jolla is home to a wide range of cuttingedge fitness concepts, each with its own unique approach and each able to get you looking and feeling your best. La Jolla Today will feature a different fitness-related business in the coming issues. Be sure to check back often to find the right fit for your lifestyle and goals.

A personalized, high-tech, high-intensity workout in a fraction of the time is to be had at La Jolla Wellness Studio.

The cutting-edge studio at 7660 Fay Ave., Suite F is the “calculus” of physical fitness, employing the MyoMetrix Method.

MyoMetrix scientifically measures a number of body factors, including body fat and muscle mass, to create an efficient workout pinpointing body areas needing improvement.

“You will achieve the same outcomes in 15 minutes that you would achieve in 60 minutes at the gym,” said La Jolla Wellness general manager Ted Barduson. “Our patent-pending process results in verifiable outcomes where members achieve remarkable decreases in body fat and increases in lean muscle mass.”

Barduson said nationwide studies have shown only 8 percent of the population does regular physical fitness workouts.

He said there are three primary reasons why people don’t work out: They don’t have the time.

They don’t like going to a gym.

They don’t like focusing only on weight control.

So Barduson set out to find ways to clear those hurdles by pioneering a method to provide a more efficient workout in less time in a more casual setting.

He’s achieved all that at La Jolla Wellness.

Much more like an office than a gym, the carpeted space at La Jolla Wellness is dominated by three machines: a scale-like device measuring fat, water content and muscle mass; a vibrating therapeutic sound apparatus; and what’s been referred to as “the beast,” the big all-in-oneworkout machine that users work out on while having their performance measured in real time.

The La Jolla Wellness MyoMetrix workout also involves a “cooling down” period, during which a person is subjected to a relaxing, spa-like mechanical massage while in a prone position.

Barduson said MyoMetrix

does one other thing that gyms don’t, which is to balance an individual’s biochemistry. He said the MyoMetrix system adjusts the level of two body chemicals — cortisol, a stress hormone, and lactic acid produced during stressful workouts, both of which inhibit muscular development.

Biomechanical manipulation maximizes performance, allow-

ing users to achieve better results in less time via a more efficient workout.

“We reduce your cortisol and your lactic acid to prepare your muscles for the most efficient workout,” said Barduson, who extended an invitation for people to come in and try out his new high-tech workout system.

Hans Antone Petersen remains in jail this week on $5 million bail after he was arraigned Sept. 30 on three counts of attempted murder and other charges involving Sept. 18 shootings in two La Jolla homes.

Petersen, 49, of University City, delayed his arraignment twice before hiring attorney Marc Carlos, who asked San Diego Superior Court Judge David Szumowski to set bail at $1 million. Petersen pleaded not guilty.

He is charged with attempting to kill Steven and Lisa Dowdy and Ron Fletcher all on the same night.

He is also accused of shooting at an inhabited structure and burglary of Fletcher’s home.

Deputy District Attorney Amy Maund said Petersen, a biotech executive, fired multiple shots through the master bedroom window of Steven Dowdy, 53, a University of California San Diego cancer researcher. Dowdy was shot in the back, but his wife was not hurt in the 3 a.m. shootings.

Small business owner proves that PR can carry an ethical message If you’d told Brook Larios 10 years ago that she would someday own her own business doing public relations for socially responsible companies and working as a freelance journalist on the side, she would likely have been incredulous.

She would have been particularly skeptical if you’d told her this as she was graduating from Cal State San Marcos with a psychology degree and a minor in visual and performing arts.

But it was this degree, it turns out, that led Larios on this unlikely path.

“The psychology department had a writing requirement, and it was daunting for most. But it was, I think, what saved me,” she said. “I ended up just loving the writing aspect, so when I realized I wasn’t going to go on to get my master’s right away, I decided I needed to find another outlet, and writing was it.”

Out of undergrad in 2002, Larios got an internship with the San Diego Community Newspaper Group and was soon hired on as one of our reporters, a position she held until 2004.

After deciding that her writing skills could be put to work in other fields as well, Larios made the jump into public relations. She did a few projects for small local agencies, learning as she went and using her knowledge as a journalist to guide her in making pitches to local publications.

“Of course, there was always that nagging thing in the back of my mind, saying, ‘This is the dark side,’” she laughed. “But I decided to take the leap, and in the end, I was getting a ton of writing assignments in tandem with my PR work. What I recognized is that I still had that

journalistic integrity.”

Larios’ first real PR job after her initial foray into the field as a consultant was as a PR manager for a nonprofit.

“I didn’t have the skill set, necessarily, to be a PR manager, but I had the tenacity,” she said. “I recognized there are a million ways to do things, especially at a nonprofit where you have very little budget to work with.”

Larios built on her experience and went on to work with other nonprofits, all the while continuing to write on the side. Through her connections, she made inroads into San Diego’s food scene, writing columns and articles about the sustainable and locavore food movements. After a stint doing PR for Vista’s celebrity health spa, Cal-a-Vie, she finally broke out on her own, representing farm-to-table Terra Bistro as her sole client in 2007.

“That’s when I recognized, ‘I can do this,’” she said. “I started my own agency, slowly building my client list up.”

In 2008, Larios’ PR agency, Plain Clarity, was born. She started the venture with her husband, Joe, out of their home. Clients started showing interest when it became clear, she said, that she would “advocate for them.”

“Clients understood that I wasn’t just doing this for money, but because I cared and was concerned about the direction of our food culture in San Diego,” she said.

Through word of mouth, Larios began to get to know the movers and shakers San Diego’s food world, and they began to get to know her.

“At first it was a little shocking, because before I found my niche in food, there was a little bit of self-

NOTHING OBSCURED The name “Plain Clarity” is taken from a Mark Twain quote (“Plain clarity is better than ornate obscurity”). “So much of the fluff PR that’s put out there is ornate obscurity. I love this idea that PR can just be plain and clear and that’s okay. You don’t need to obscure the truth of what’s going on.” COURTESY PHOTO

loathing,” she said. “I thought, ‘How can I continue to do PR when my heart was always in writing and I believe so strongly in journalistic integrity?’ That integrity was really built at the San Diego Community Newspaper Group. It left an indelible

mark.”

Once she was able to start helping small business owners realize their dreams, however, Larios’ sense of self-loathing dissipated.

“I realized I could contribute to our food culture and make it bet-

ter,” she said.

For five years, Plain Clarity operated out of Larios’ home office, but in June, she and Joe moved into an office on Girard Avenue above Harvard Cookin’ Girl and Ariccia Market. Larios set her sights on hiring a team to help grow the business, with the goal to bring on at least two new clients in the first few months. She hired a full-time publicist and brought on four. The agency now represents eight clients.

“We’ve progressed beyond what I anticipated, and each month we’re bringing on a new client,” she said.

“We’re able to turn down work we don’t feel is the right fit for us.”

Plain Clarity, Larios said, generally works with restaurants that are already or soon plan to work with a sustainable, farm-to-table model.

Though its main focus is on food, the agency will also work with other companies that employ sustainable

Preventing residential burglaries

Every day residential burglaries occur in San Diego. When officers investigate these crimes we can determine how and why a particular home or neighborhood was targeted.

Most of these burglaries go unsolved because serial numbers were not recorded and given to the officer, the burglar wore gloves or they stole small items that are easy to sell quickly so they are never in possession of stolen goods for very long.

Most burglary suspects drive through a particular neighborhood looking for easy targets, while others may have acquaintances that currently or previously lived in area and are familiar with the neighborhood or the residence. A large percentage of burglaries occur via unlocked doors, windows and gates.

Residential burglary suspects typically drive around our neighborhoods during daytime hours when most people are at work,

Larry Hesselgesser

looking for nice homes in quiet areas.

A common method of “casing” used by suspects in residential burglaries is lengthy door knocking and doorbell ringing in an attempt to determine if anyone is home.

This method has been used on several recent occasions in many jurisdictions, and is known to precede a burglary.

If the door is answered by a resident, the suspect will claim to be lost, solicit some type of service or product, or ask for someone that

does not live there. If this happens to you and you believe this person is not legitimate, call the San Diego Police Department immediately at (619)531-2000. Try to obtain a good description, a direction of travel and a license plate number, if possible.

Some sneaky homeowners have been able to obtain stealthy pictures on their cell phones without the suspect knowing. Others have asked, “Do you mind if I take your picture in case you are not who you say you are?” If they walk away in a hurry, then you know they are not there for legitimate purposes.

If you do not want to answer the door, you can always yell from behind the closed door that you are not interested. If you are home and you do not acknowledge you are home, there is a possibility the suspect will attempt to break in.

Should someone attempt to break into your home, call 9-1-1 immediately and flee the residence

Mayor’s Office is taking enforcement of dispensaries, food trucks seriously

By TODD GLORIA, INTERIM MAYOR OF SAN DIEGO

I’m happy to report the work in the Mayor’s Office is charging fullsteam ahead. My staff and all city employees are dedicated to doing the peoples’ work. They are knowledgeable professionals in their respective fields and are committed to being responsive and helpful to you.

I invite you to visit our new mayor’s web page to communicate with me and keep abreast of what we’re working on. Just how much can I accomplish in 81 days between when I took on this role and the Nov. 19 election? Visit the web site to find out at www.sandiego.gov. Additionally, I send out e-newsletter updates about two times per month. You may sign up on the website or send an email to toddgloria@sandiego.gov and you’ll be placed on the list. In the name of progress, there is much to report on.

The previous administration was criticized for its lackadaisical approach to enforcing our laws

and codes consistently, which led to unfair treatment benefiting San Diegans who happened to have access to my predecessor. As your representative, I see it as my job to modify laws that don’t make sense. Unless and until laws can be modified, they must be enforced. This is the current challenge I face as I work with my City Council colleagues, the city attorney and city staff to develop sensible code updates to allow medical marijuana dispensaries and food trucks to operate legally in ways that balance the needs of their clients and the surrounding neighborhoods.

I appreciate the input provided from passionate San Diegans on both topics, and the measures we’re developing will be publicly vetted prior to their consideration by the City Council. It’s essential your voices are heard. My decisions are always informed by your input.

Just like your participation guides our actions at City Hall, San Diego’s interests must be well-represented in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. I am proud that we recently rehired lobbying firms to resume the representation of San Diego before lawmakers and influencers in our state and national capitols. For the last nine months, San Diego has had no one at the table vying for our interests or funding, which is troubling

given the current sequestration and its potential effect on local families and businesses whose way of life is directly connected to our military economy and other federal spending.

Late last month, the city initiated a process for new lobbying contracts to ensure that, moving forward, San Diego receives the representation it deserves. I headed to Washington, D.C. with members from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce the first week of October and met with key stakeholders to advocate for San Diego on Capitol Hill. So what have I learned during these last few weeks as interim mayor? I’ve learned I really love this job. I love the people side of it, the consensus-building side of it, the making progress side of it. Make no mistake, it’s a demanding job and I do my best to balance my roles as interim mayor, City Council president and councilmember. But at the end of each day, it’s the people that make it great — diverse stakeholders coming to the table with different ideas on how we can collectively make San Diego a better place to live. This is a great gig.

There is much work to be done between now and when a new mayor takes office. I appreciate your continued patience and participation in these upcoming months. As always, thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Calling 9-1-1 from your cell phone will go directly to a San Diego police dispatch center; however, you will need to give the dispatcher your address. If you are unable to speak, the dispatcher will be able to triangulate your location through GPS mapping software. Keep in mind this will cause a delay in response.

We also know that many residential burglaries occur in open garages where people are home but are either in the house or in the

backyard. It is not uncommon in this case for thieves go through the garage or an unlocked front door to steal valuables. Residents should lock their front doors, even when they are home, and close their garage doors when not present in their front yard.

Finally, we know that in most residential burglaries, the point of entry is the side or rear of the residence, out of sight of any passersby. Often, a burglar breaks in at a rear sliding glass door, kitchen or

How to save thousands when selling your home.

LA JOLLA, When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range.

Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression.

This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pric-

ing too low. A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell at the price you want.

LA JOLLA TODAY

CIVICREPORT >> La Jolla Community Planning Association, Oct. 3 The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) voted overwhelmingly in favor of a revised, significantly downscaled redevelopment of a historical home site at 7755 Sierra Mar off Torrey Pines Road at its October meeting.

Acting chair Joe LaCava introduced the item on 7755 Sierra Mar’s proposed redevelopment, noting, “The background on this goes back years.”

“This project was denied previously and the applicant went back and worked with neighbors to resolve issues and reduced the project and now they’re back because we had not seen the revised plans,” LaCava said.

Land-use attorney Robin Madaffer and architect John Oleinik, representing Sierra Mar developers, presented a redesign for a project addition on the home site that LJCPA had previously denied in December 2008 because they believed its bulk and scale was inappropriate for the neighborhood and detrimental to its character.

“The project’s been significantly revised, reduced almost 6,000 square feet and the entire second story removed except for one small portion over a garage,” said Madaffer. “We think we’ve made

significant modifications and the historical folks at the city have approved the revise.”

A tenant living in the residence noted it’s not designed for a modern lifestyle, as it lacks both a breakfast room and a den.

Heather Riley, an attorney representing a nearby Sierra Mar neighbor, Barbara Levi, saw it differently.

“The new project does not alleviate nearby property owners’ concerns. It’s still too large,” Riley said, noting the original project would have tripled the home’s size and that the revise still doubles it.

“This so-called revision still has significant adverse impacts on the home’s historical resources,” she said.

Architectural historian Diane Kane was called forth to assess the impact of proposed redevelopment on the Sierra Mar site.

On the question of historical authenticity, Kane said a litmus test involves answering two questions: “When [the remodel] is done, would you recognize it as historical, and would the home with the addition be historically designated,” Kane said.

Kane said another standard for judging historicity is that an addition to a designated home “must in size, scale, proportion and mass

be compatible with the original structure.”

“By and large, this home’s addition is not overly bulky and is sympathetic in its use of materials,” Kane said, though she questioned whether the new addition differentiates enough from the original structure to “diminish its historicity.”

From the audience, resident Mike Costello said he didn’t like the idea that historically designated homes are given huge tax breaks. LJCPA member Dan Courtney questioned whether a trend was emerging in La Jolla for homes to be historically designated and then resold, passing along tax benefits to new buyers.

LaCava said tax breaks given as an incentive to have homes his-

torically designated was “not at issue here.”

After LJCPA voted to reconsider the project, group member Jim Fitzgerald moved to approve the project as revised noting the developers have “done a lot with the bulk and scale making every effort to integrate the historical building [into the remodel].”

The group vote was 11-3-1.

The advisory group also unanimously approved a proposed amendment that would require the city to automatically notify City Council members, advisory groups and other interested par-

Lightner also discussed public hearings on proposed water rate increases for the city scheduled for Nov. 21. The council has discussed raising the cost of providing water to the city’s 1.3 million customers by 7.25 percent next year and 7.5 percent in 2015.

CIVICREPORT >> Bird Rock Community Council, Oct. 1

By DAVE SCHWAB

Highlights from the Bird Rock Community Council’s September meeting.

• During public testimony, it was pointed out the city has ceased collecting trash at ocean “lookouts” like those at Midway and Forward streets, which presents a potential safety hazard, as well as being aesthetically displeasing.

“Happy government shutdown day,” quipped Sarah Czarnecki, U.S. Rep. Scott Peters field representative, noting Peters considers the situation as “completely unacceptable,” vowing to donate his pay to charity for the duration of the legislative impasse.

Czarnecki said the temporary

federal government shutdown is having extensive ripple effects.

“Federal agencies are shortstaffed or shut down all together,” she said. “Federal employees cannot take paid sick leave. Social Security payments might take a little longer to get through. For anyone employed by the federal government, there’s no funding stream unless you’re a member of the military.”

More information is available on Peters’ website at scottpeters.house.gov.

BRCC vice chair Andrew Ward said merchants are hosting a Halloween window painting again this year on Saturday, Oct. 26. He said the council is asking for com-

munity volunteers to step forward to assist, particularly with cleanup afterward.

• On Halloween night Thursday, Oct. 31, police, as they have the past few years, will be out in force in the community. A haven for trick-or-treaters, Halloween night was problematic in the past in Bird Rock for vandalism and other offenses until the police presence was beefed up. Local residents once again are being asked to hand out candy only between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m. to help control the anticipated large crowd.

• BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar reminded residents that the annual meeting of the Bird Rock MAD to determine the mainte-

nance district’s budget next year will be part of the group’s agenda on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 6 p.m. at the Masonic Lodge Community Room, 5655 La Jolla Blvd.

“We’re aware we’re having two meetings together and that it’s election night, but in order to get the budget to the city in January, we have to present it in November,” she said.

Dunbar said maintenance problems in boulevard medians are ongoing with “people repeatedly driving over our landscaping and wrecking irrigation, wiping out plants, etc.” She asked people to report MAD problems of any kind at info@birdrockcc.org.

• Longtime Bird Rock kinder-

garten teacher Lorene LaCava said the community’s second-ever e-waste disposal event will be held Saturday, Oct. 19 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the staff parking lot at the school’s Beaumont Alley entrance at 5371 La Jolla Hermosa Ave. “Bring your microwaves, your VCRs, your old equipment from the 1960s or ’70s and we’ll use it to transform the school, creating a beautiful mural to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing as we’ve done in the past,” LaCava said, noting the event raised about $3,500 the first time around. She said used cell phones are particularly valuable, as they are worth $35 or $40 apiece when recycled.

Gomez was pulled out of the car by someone and was caught by the head of the school’s security. Kang, a relative of the child, was not hurt. A charge

of attempted carjacking was dismissed after she pleaded guilty to the reduced charge.

DANCING WITH THE STARS La Jolla edition “IT EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. We were hanging from the rafters,” said Nancy Gardner about the first-ever “La Jolla Dancing with the Stars” fundraiser Oct. 5 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines.

Gardner, a La Jolla Town Council trustee, spearheaded a committee that organized the gala event, which she said was standing-room-only.

“We had 300 people and 30 tables, and we added three more tables and we filled those, and committee members were standing up so people could be seated,” she said.

Gardner said the event was so successful plans are already underway to hold it again next year.

“I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Gardner said. “It was of the community, by the community and for the community.”

Gardner said children might be the charity focus of next year’s fundraiser.

Gardner thanked the event committee, and said they did “an incredible job.”

Six women and four men from the community were paired up with professional dancers for the competition, which was judged by assistant police chief Shelley Zimmerman, La Jollan Ramin Porteymour, Billy Ray Smith, Scott Kaplan and head judge Jonathan Roberts of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

Magical entertainment

Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas bout 410 enthusiastic guests enjoyed a little night magic recently at The Old Globe’s annual gala.

Longtime Globe supporter Nina Doede and former board chairwoman Sheryl White (who’s chaired eight Globe galas — so far) collaborated to co-chair this year’s gala. Their imaginative, beautifully designed invitation called it “A Magical Evening,” and incited partygoers to dress in black (-tie) and white and “paint the town red.”

Departing from historic tradition, they held the reception and silent auction in the Globe’s Copley Plaza (rather than the nearby Alcazar Gardens), and dropped the usual live auction.

The reception offered such fine fare as coconut-battered shrimp and huge chilled shrimp, crab cakes and king crab legs, sushi and more — because much entertainment was to follow, and dinner wouldn’t be served until about 9 p.m.

Once guests took their seats in the theater for the program, managing director Michael Murphy welcomed and thanked them for their support. He lauded the significant contributions of the cochairs and such extraordinary longtime sponsors as Audrey Geisel, Darlene Shiley, and Conrad Prebys and Debby Turner, to name just a few.

Murphy introduced new artistic director Barry Edelstein, who arrived here early this year from the Big Apple, where the Globe’s reputation is well known.

“San Diego sends more plays to Broadway than any city other than New York,” he said. “It’s the country’s second great theater city, despite being the eighthlargest city in America.”

That, he said, is because San Diego has the three requirements for a great theater city: a critical mass of great theater makers (artists and craftsmen creating sets, costumes, etc.); an adventurous, open-minded and “hungry” audience; and a very special philanthropic culture that believes that to have a great city, you need to have great art. (Many of the event guests exemplified this critically important philanthropic philosophy.)

Edelstein praised Balboa Park’s concentration of 28 cultural institutions, saying, “The philan-

FRIDAY · OCTOBER 11, 2013 LA JOLLA TODAY

Community comes together to enhance popular bike path On Oct. 6, a small gathering of pets and their owners came together behind La Jolla United Methodist Church to recognize contributions to the community by the church, Scouts of Troop 506 and a local artist.

Part of the Fay Avenue Extension (popularly called the “bike path”) passes over the eastern property of La Jolla United Methodist Church, behind its nursery school, library, youth lounge and onto its parking lot. It attracts countless bikers, walkers and joggers daily.

From time to time, the combined contributions of the entities of a community benefit countless others who may not be aware of those efforts. On Oct. 6, several of these forces came together to dedicate and celebrate contributions to the La Jolla Community — a drinking fountain for both humans and pets, welcome bench and information kiosk. They are the result of the generosity of the church, the Eagle Scout projects of three members of Troop 506 and the talent of

a prominent local artist.

Three Scouts from Troop 506 (celebrating its 50 anniversary in February 2014 and founded by church member Roger Wiggans) were instrumental in the eventual completion of enhancements to the bike path.

Two years ago, Phillip Andrews built and installed two concrete benches along with an informational kiosk on the bike path for his Eagle Scout project. In May 2012, William Fluharty’s project entailed the preparatory work for the fountain. His contributions included the running of the underground pipes, the construction of the drainage for the fountain and the installation of the concrete slab. Last month, the church purchased the fountain and Michael Koveleski completed the necessary plumbing, installation and canopy. (A note of interest: with the documentation of his project, Koveleski will become the 81st Eagle Scout of Troop 506 in its 50 years.) Thanks are also due to Scout parent and committee chairman John Stojic,

It’s all Greek to me: Appolonia Bistro and Café Athena It was like touching history. Every time I visited Athens, Greece, I felt overwhelmed by its antiquity. In my mind’s eye, I visualized Socrates sitting in a corner, debating, educating the youth of Athens. Then, in my imagination, there was Plato in the background, taking in every word. I walked the cobblestones of the Plaka, that maze of narrow streets and inviting cafes at the base of the Acropolis and wondered about the countless others who have walked on them over the centuries, too many different conquerors to think about.

My favorite memories, though, involved Greek food. I ate at historic (so I was told) cafés in the Plaka, where food, retsina wine and pulsating bazouki music often serve as a background to revelry, joy and to throwing wine glasses and plates into the fireplace. The famous scenes of the movie “Zorba The Greek” are true to life, even today.

The Greek diet is very healthful. It is, after all, a Mediterranean diet, focused mostly on fish, fresh vegetables, fruit and olive oil. I also loved the coarse grains that were used to make the typical, hardy bread. My best breakfasts were often bought from a street vendor — a roll, cheese and a piece of fruit. Greek cuisine has remained one of my favorites. It is also one of the more popular types of ethnic food.

DIET OF THE GODS Café Athena and Apollonia Bistro both feature kabobs and spanakopita.

COURTESY PHOTOS

Two sister restaurants in our own beach areas serve excellent Greek food — Apollonia Bistro in UTC and Café Athena in Pacific Beach. I designate them as “sisters” because they are owned by the same host and have similar menus. Tony Farah worked in the hospitality field for many years, but decided he wanted to do his own thing. He looked for opportunities whereby he could control his own destiny.

His first acquisition was Café Athena. Located on one side of a busy neighborhood shopping center at the end of a large parking, it is partially obscured by trees, which

provide welcome shade to its small outdoor patio. The interior has three moderate-size rooms that are usually busy with the regulars who have discovered great food at moderate prices.

Then Farah bought his second location. Apollonia Bistro is on the lower level of the large Costa Verde shopping center in UTC. This restaurant is much larger, with a covered outdoor patio where cooling breezes flow in through the openings. The interior has a number of large rooms, including a private dining room. Many Greek statues, paintings and other artifacts decorate the

walls, giving the interior its ethnic ambiance. Smaller statues are encased in niches on a wall, lit up for dramatic effect.

“We offer the same menu year round because it is a healthful menu,” Farah said. “We want our customers to appreciate our consistency, to know that they can always find the same tasty food that is good for them.”

The recipes are traditional and were developed in consultation with expert Greek chefs.

The waiter brings pita bread, large round flat loaves that can be opened to create little pockets that can be filled with good stuff. Hummos a dip of garbanzo beans, fresh garlic, lemon juice and sesame sauce and with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, is perfect on pita.

Another Middle Eastern dish, baba ghannouj, combines eggplant with garlic, parsley, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses and sesame sauce.

The restaurants use filo dough — multiple layers of paper-thin sheets — for some appetizers and desserts, like spanakopita, delicious triangles filled with a tasty blend of spinach and feta cheese.

Some diners love Greek salad with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, lots of feta cheese and

You leave his office without answers to your questions. If you leave confused or unsure on what you should be doing next, the doctor is not communicating which is his responsibility.

Your doctor ignores your ideas and questions. Physicians should be interested in what you are concerned about regarding your health.

Your doctor misdiagnosed you.

Doctors can make mistakes and that isn’t necessarily a reason to find a new doctor unless his disinterest in you causes a life-threatening or catastrophic problem.

Your doctor is offended with your request for a second opinion. A doctor should be happy that you are taking an interest in your healthcare and should even suggest other physicians.

Your physician is not board certified. Board certification shows the doctor is interested in continuing to be assessed and educated in his specialty.

The RN Geriatric Care Managers from Innovative Healthcare Consultants are available to help patients by discussing their concerns. They will advocate for the patient with the physician and help the patient understand their rights. View our website at www.innovativehc.com or call us at (877) 731-1442.

Health BRIEFS >> Women With Hair Loss Can Have Thick and Healthy Hair Volume is the most requested service of all clients. Thick, healthy hair is never out of style! Even with all the excellent professional volumizing products available, nothing compares with the real thing: thick , healthy human hair!

The unique patented process used at Judy's salon attaches a protein bond of real human hair to a small section of your own hair. The bonds are so discreet you can style your hair anyway you choose.This unique application process makes it the only system that does not further damage your hair Hair Extensions FAQ How Do You Match Extensions to a Clients Existing Color?

If you are blending colors choose extensions that are the same level of color as the clients own hair . If you are changing the level of the client’s hair choose a shade that works well with the skin tone. A coloring process can be done to the natural hair 48 hours prior to application and extensions can be matched to that also.

What type of hair extensions do you use?

Judy uses Great Lengths all-natural hair extensions and prefers these extensions because they are created from 100% human hair and use a unique, application process that attaches a bond of protein the same molecular structure as your hair. This application process does not harm your own hair . While others use techniques such as welding,waxing, gluing or knotting,which strain your hair to a high degree Judy uses a much more gentle principle called modulating. An extremely high- tech method of bonding the hair strand to your own hair.

Extensions can be used for volumising, lengthening, colouring or simply adding texture; Judy will offer a free consultation guiding you through your new style. Whether creating a new look, following fashion or with a special occasion on the horizon. Judy’s hair extensions have over 55 colours to choose from and blend with your own hair for perfect colour matches. Most importantly your own hair will not be damaged and the extensions can be easily removed by an expert.

Can hair extensions damage my hair?

No, they will not. Actually, even very fine and damaged hair can become healthier if you’re wearing hair extensions because they will protect your hair from things that could damage it like curling irons, blow dryers, styling heat and environmental damage. Because of the unique application bonding system, the extensions can be easily removed. This is different than many hair extension methods that bond too tightly to your hair.

Those old methods can lead to hair breakage when being removed. Judy’s La Jolla hair extensions are joined to your natural hair by using a safe, allnatural, keratin protein bond application system.

Are hair extensions uncomfortable?

Judy’s La Jolla Hair Extensions are applied to your hair with a very small bond of natural keritin protein. Most people don’t even notice a difference between the hair extensions and their own natural hair.

How do I maintain my extensions at home and between visits to the salon?

Judy is fully trained on how to educate her clients to professionally take care of their hair extensions at home.

Judy will recommend hair care products, brushes, combs and appliances for use at home. Hairstyling is very similar to how you style your hair without extensions.

ARTSBRIEF >> MARTIN LAWRENCE GALLERY will celebrate contemporary artist Robert Deyber with an artist reception on Oct. 18 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Deyber, whose art moves in and out of visual themes and story lines, creates imagery where he uses a combination of highly stylized composition, light and contrasting colors.

Deyber is a visual raconteur — a sto-

ryteller with a paintbrush, his mind’s eye planted deep within the subconscious. With artistic roots that hail from the Surrealist movement, among his heroes are Rene Magritte and Salvator Dali. Born and raised in Green-

15

wich, Conn., Deyber began drawing at an early age. Art was a necessary means of escape from an otherwise difficult world, one in which he set his mind free to visit the most remote places — a wheat field in South Dakota, the dunes of the Gobi desert, the moons of Jupiter—all within easy reach for a very imaginative young boy.

Martin Lawrence Gallery is located at 1111 Prospect St. For more information, visit martinlawrence.com or call (858) 551-1122.

MUSTHEAR >> ONCE UPON A TIME, colleges were where you went to find exciting new music, each campus complete with its own mini scene. UCSD’s student venue The Loft is bringing some of that energy back with exciting new bookings, open to the public. On Oct. 15, the Loft will feature 11-piece Portland-based indie rockers Typhoon. Currently touring behind its new album “White Lighter,” which debuted at No. 2 on the Top New Artists Chart, the band’s profile, as well as its following, is building. Typhoon has a unique sound that takes in quirky pop, orchestral backing, horns and rock dynamics for music that’s an intriguing listen and catchy as heck. Best of all is its atmospheric material like “Hunger and Thirst,” which beautifully showcases the band’s arrangements, bordering on abstract sound paintings, without giving up its winning sense of melody.

Typhoon: Oct. 15 at The Loft, UCSD campus. 8 p.m. www.artpwr.com — Bart Mendoza

Fashion Files

Diana Cavagnaro

Fashion Week San Diego was a whirlwind of fashion starting on Oct. 2 at the Port Pavilion on the Broadway Pier Downtown. The first night featured The Art & Beauty Behind Fashion, where local artists from RAW: natural born artists gave live art demonstrations as models posed as muses.

Beauty industry experts were on hand to give industry tips, with Jan Nordstrom Arnold of MUD discussing upcoming trends in nails and showing new available treatments.

Thursday night featured the first runway show, with the collections of Kathryn Elizabeth delivering true standout styles. Each one of her designs was a convertible dress, which could be transformed into a different style. The last design came down the runway as a short dress before the model changed it into a long dress.

The evening finished with a collaborative show featuring “Styled to Rock” designers. Veteran designer Andre Soriano showed his pre-fall designs and Cecilia Aragon showed her menswear collection. The models came down the runway dressed in all black, most of them equipped with handcuffs. Dexter Simmons showed two looks on the runway: one combining heavy metal with science fiction, the other joining tribal ritual with people in the Costa Rican rain forest. “Styled to Rock” is a new reality show that will air on the Bravo Network on Oct. 25.

Friday night’s fashion show brought a variety of talented designers, including stylish swimwear from Dos Caras Swimwear, eco-friendly hats from Greenpacha and beautiful designs by the duo from RHCreation, a partnership between designers in Belize and San Diego. The designs reflected a combination of both Caribbean and Southern California flavor, which the audience clearly appreciate: votes during the runway shows picked RH-Creation as winning designer of Fashion Week San Diego. The evening finished up with a doggie fashion show, with each dog on the runway an adoptable dog from Rancho Coastal Humane Society.

The runway show finale was on Saturday

Ashley Raymond began her collection with must-have black dresses and finishing up with elegant white gowns.

Fashion Week finished up with a trunk show at the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier. Guests were able to meet the designers and purchase the designs. For information and updates for next year, visit www.fashionweeksd.com.

design as “uniquely San Diegan,” Quigley said its dome recently won a structural engineering award. He added the building in 30 years “won’t be out of date, but beginning to achieve the dignity of a patina.”

“This is the people’s building,” said Katz, pointing out the library has high-speed wireless Internet throughout the building, more than 400 computers and tablets, a TV studio, an art gallery and sculpture court, and even a high school on two floors.

“This truly is a public-private partnership,” Katz said. “Thirtyeight percent of the dollars are here because of 3,000 San Diegans” who contributed to the library fund.

“For all of San Diego, this is your building,” said Katz, as he thanked Qualcomm co-founder and La Jolla philanthropist Irwin Jacobs for his multi-million dollar contributions to the new library.

Jacobs’ generosity has allowed the new library to be “100 percent paid for while costing the

The full name of the new facility is The San Diego Central Library at Joan & Irwin Jacobs Common.

The nearly 80-year-old Jacobs, who grew up in the Boston area, recalled as a child one of his fondest memories was of “my mother taking me on the trolley to the central library and allowing me to take out a stack of books.”

Come on! How long does it take to close escrow?

REAL ESTATE

There was a continuous string of excuses, ranging from “We don’t have the Charles Schevker & Natasha Alexander staffing to handle the workload volume” and “Well, we now have to follow strict Anyone associated in the realguidelines from Fannie Mae and estate industry has a war chest of Freddie Mac” to “Uh, we did not stories, some good, some not so see that before, but now it causes a good. concern for the underwriter” and Recently, we took a listing on a the ever-popular, “Yeah, we know townhome in a desirable community.

We then ed by the day, and who can blame launched our aggressive marketthem? ing campaign that resulted in 146 I suppose since I am so analytivisitors at an open-house weekend cal, I am always searching for root and ended with the acceptance of causes with the hope of undera full-price offer in only eight days standing why things happen. I on market. We thought we were spent a few hours exploring past rockin’ and a rollin’. data from residential real-estate Each party moved swiftly to pertransactions in La Jolla and made form their individual obligations under the contract, and they did so a few interesting discoveries that we would like to share. In the last within the required time periods. three years beginning in August The buyer was obtaining a loan, 2010 until this August, the averbut had excellent financing age number of days on market strength. declined from 83 days to 37 days.

Then, when it came to the This is a remarkable metric that lender’s performance, it seemed speaks clearly to how the reallike we stepped into wet concrete.

estate market is becoming more robust. During the same time, however, the number of days a house sits in escrow has increased from 37 days to 53 days. This is disturbing.

In speaking with a few local escrow officers, they generally agree to having witnessed longer closing times for deals that require financing. Some escrow officers said they are seeing a trend of requests to extend closing times by an average of three to five weeks for those transactions involving loans. So, if the original close of escrow date was scheduled for 30 days, the average according to

escrow officers could be creeping upward to between 51 and 65 days.

It is because of the potential for complications associated with financing that if a seller is presented two offers, one with cash at a lower price and one with financing at a higher price, the seller will often view the cash offer as having greater strength.

While real-estate agents are accustomed to handling problems to assist their respective clients, in the case where a lender is involved, the real-estate agents and escrow officers are nearly powerless. This, unfortunately, escalates the frus-

tration.

On the one hand, we could easily dismiss this issue by saying, “As long as no one gets hurt, what’s the difference? The transaction still closes and the buyer and seller get what they want.” Buying and/or selling a house can be very stressful, and especially when each party is relying on the expectations created by the promises of each other, and each party has likely committed to other plans or events that are connected to the anticipated closing date. Any delay could significantly alter or perhaps jeopardize those future plans.

If you are, or will soon be involved with buying and/or selling a home, you might want to remember this information and keep your plans flexible to allow for possible delays.

Home-improvement projects you might want to skip Upon buying a home, homeowners understandably want to start making adjustments.

While there are many ways a person can turn a home into their own unique oasis, some home-improvement projects may not be worth the effort. Some may even come back to haunt homeowners down the road.

SPORTS COMPLEX — Sports fans often dream of erecting a backyard basketball court or adding a tennis court to their property. But such projects are among the more expensive additions a homeowner can make to his or her property, costing more than popular projects like kitchen remodels or room additions.

What’s more, real-estate profession-

als note that homeowners can expect to recoup little, if any, of the cost of adding a basketball or tennis court to their properties at resale, while more popular projects tend to recoup a substantial amount of a homeowner’s initial investment.

LUXURY SHOWER — Installing a luxury shower, such as a multiheaded steam shower, can add a splash of resort-style luxury to your home, but it likely won’t add much to your sale price. If you simply must give your bathroom a more luxurious look but still want to be a responsible homeowner, look for a low-cost addition. That can take some of the sting out of not recouping much of your investment at

resale.

FULLY FURNISHED HOME OFFICE — More people are working from home, and some homeowners might feel that transforming a room in their home into a fully functional home office is a great investment.

But some buyers might be turned off by a room that can no longer function as an extra bedroom. The cost of converting a home office into a more traditional bedroom may compel prospective buyers to keep looking or make a lower offer on your home. While a home office might be a good idea, avoid making an exclusive home office room during your renovation.

HOME THEATER — Few home-

owners would scoff at installing a home theater in their homes, but the impression of home theaters as a luxury only the super wealthy can afford might turn prospective buyers away from your home. Potential buyers may be impressed by a fully functioning home theater complete with surround sound, lighting, a big screen and all the other fixings synonymous with home theaters, but when they go home to discuss their options, they may feel the home theater is a luxury they can live without and opt for a more affordable home without a theater instead.

A dream home means different things to different people, so home-

The ghosts of government shutdowns past and a bit of history KYLE HARRINGTON, Founder of Harrington Capital Management In 1995-96, the first of the two government shutdowns that year lasted only six days from Nov. 14 to Nov. 20. Subsequent to the shutdown, the Clinton administration released an estimate of what the six days had cost.

Well, it cost the taxpayers approximately $800 million — including $400 million to furloughed federal employees who were paid, but did not report to work and another $400 million in lost revenue in the four days the IRA divisions were closed. Six days, $800 million. Ouch.

In U.S. politics, a government shutdown is simply the name for the process the executive branch must enter into when the Congress creates a “funding gap” by choosing to pass legislation

Ten thousand Americans turn 66 years old every day. That means all of these people who are ready to submit a Social Security claim will not be processed until the shutdown is lifted. How about our national parks being closed? This means tourist revenue is being lost and families are not able to visit parks in California and across the country. Government-backed loans and FHA mortgage loans worth more than $800 million to more than 10,000 low-and-moderate working families in the U.S won’t be administered, affecting some of them right here in San Diego.

Larios hopes the agency’s new office location will, by proximity, give her access to some of the La Jolla businesses that embody Plain Clarity’s ethics.

“One of my intentions right now is to become an integral part of the La Jolla community. I want to work with more clients in La Jolla,” she said.

“This is our home now, and we’re invested in the community. We strive to be that agency that is an extension of our clients. We live and breathe what they do.”

when I say the games in Washington, D.C. have gotten so petty it’s an embarrassment. Having said that, the key to changing what’s happening is for the D.C. elite to stop playing to the crowd and to get back to the notion of governing and establishing a budget so our country can continue being the greatest in the world.

Grand visions of society from socialism to fascism to communism have all made certain promises of the future. On the other hand, capitalism at its core invites unpredictable change and creative destruction that along the way improves and enriches lives.

In order for capitalism to continue, our government needs to be open for business with an up-to-date budget!

The band kicked it up after dinner, and the dance floor filled.

Soon, pyrotechnics appeared; Roman candles, skyrockets, sparklers and big fireballs rising into the night. Perhaps perturbed, Mother Nature responded with a few light raindrops that quickly stopped. A bit more fell after 11 p.m., but only briefly. Band instruments and the

bedroom window. Many times these portals are left unlocked.

Many burglars carry tools and will pry open sliding windows or even large sliding doors.

The only way to stop these determined burglars is to use some type of pin-locking device that prevents the burglar from removing the sliding door or window from its track.

Treat your side gate like your front door — keep it locked! Even a small combination lock will deter most burglars to seek easier residences.

Once a burglar makes it into your rear yard he is as good as in your house. Just like having large amounts of foliage in the front yard, if a burglar feels concealed from neighbors and the street, they will take the extra time to get in. If you have maintenance or pool service, buy a pushbutton combination lockset and give them the combination. Don’t forget to change the combination periodically.

Once inside, almost all burglars go straight to the master bedroom or other areas where residents will likely store jewelry, cash or guns. If there is no alarm system, burglars will feel they have more time; and the rest of the house will be ransacked. Few televisions or DVD players are ever taken, but in addition to jewelry, cash and guns, lap-

tops, cameras, cell phones and credit cards are also a common loss.

We strongly recommend that residents secure a safe, professionally bolted to the floor for any type of valuable keepsakes that cannot be replaced, like wedding rings or other family heirlooms. You may also consider keeping such items at the bank in a safety deposit box.

Laundry rooms, bookcases, attics, refrigerators/freezers and even garages can also be used to make it more difficult to find your priceless valuables.

So how do you “harden the target” and at least reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of a residential burglary? Here are some suggestions: • Consider owning a dog (burglars hate attention). If you don’t have a dog, make it look as if you have a large dog. Simply putting a large dog toy inside the side gate may deter a burglar.

• Install an alarm system. IRIS sold at Lowes or similar home alarms are effective.

• Video surveillance systems are very affordable nowadays and a great deterrant.

• Visually inspect your rear yard. If a burglar enters undetected into your backyard, anticipate how he will try to break into your home, and “harden the target.”

• Do not have an open-door policy when it comes to burglars. Lock your front door, even when you are

home.

• When no one is at home, always keep your doors and windows locked.

• Do not leave jewelry and cash where it is easy to find.

• Secure all your doors and windows when you leave.

• Install solid-core doors with deadbolt locks.

• Use locking pins or dowels on sliding windows and doors (2-inch gap if needed for ventilation.)

• Engrave a personal identification number on valuable items such as electronics.

• Take close-up, detailed photos of expensive jewelry.

• Prepare and keep safe a list of valuable items and their serial or personal identification numbers.

• Use a radio/light timing device when on vacation. (Google “fake TV” as an option.)

• Have a neighbor pick up your mail and newspaper (or have it temporarily stopped), and check on your house periodically when you are on vacation. Arrange for a vacation check by our Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) by calling (858) 552-1737.

• Be alert and observant. Alert neighbors are responsible for the majority of arrests made in residential burglaries. If something appears suspicious, immediately contact the San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000, or dial 9-1-1 to report a crime in progress.

Kalamata olives. The best sandwiches, meanwhile, are the gyros, large pita stuffed with a generous portion of meat, rice pilaf and tzatziki sauce. Gyros meat is grilled on a vertical spit, with the heat adjusted by moving the spit back and forth from the flame to keep the meat moist as it is thinly sliced.

Moussaka is another very popular dish. Similar to Greek version of lasagna, it combines layers of eggplant, zucchini and seasoned ground leg of lamb in a casserole and topped with béchamel sauce and Vlahotyri cheese.

My favorite entrée is the riganato, a plump half chicken marinated with lemon juice, olive oil and oregano. It is served with briami (Greek marinated vegetables), lemon potatoes and garlic aioli sauce. Farah’s briami uses gardenfresh vegetables braised with herbs de Provence and seasoned tomato sauce. It is simply deli-

cious.

Greek desserts should never be passed up. A favorite Middle Eastern delicacy is baklava, a blend of crushed walnuts, cinnamon and cloves filling in between layers of filo dough, topped with honey, creating a sweet, flaky sensation that practically melts in the mouth.

Apollonia Bistro has a full bar, including a nice but limited selection of Greek wine. Café Athena serves only beer and wine, but does offer a nice selection of beers.

Both restaurants are open daily for lunch and dinner.

If words like dolmas, tzatziki, keftedes, saganakia or baklava are not familiar, visiting these two restaurants will not only add to vocabulary but introduce a whole new world of taste sensations.

Prices are moderate. Reservations are suggested.

LOANS, LOANS, LOANS… SO MANY LENDERS TO CHOOSE FROM Over the last 25 years and thousands of loans, the question always comes up for me, “why should I use you for my real estate financing?”

Three items of significance; Product, Pricing and Performance… with the emphasis on Performance! It’s quite obvious that a lender needs to have a valuable product with competitive pricing. But there is another component that many people ignore and in my opinion this can be more important than the first two, performance.

The ability to effectively manage and control the loan application from start to finish, with minimal challenges and maximum communication. It is extremely important that you have an individual handling your loan that has product knowledge, the ability to foresee potential challenges in advance, and the competency to move your loan through the system as quickly as possible. Having these qualities can make the difference for a smooth and successful closing versus a nightmare of an ordeal.

"Hello, I'm Thomas Baker. In 1983, I was in the supermarket, when I had a chance meeting with a friend from college. She was in Real Estate and felt that I would be great in the business.

Well, all these years later, I'm still at it and I love it! I've been with Keller Williams Realty now for nine years.

1st Time Buyer: I worked with Trevor Pike to purchase my first home and he was over the top great to work with. Purchasing in 2013 was a very different time and Trevor understood the market very well. He had great know-how of the negotiation process and also kept me in the loop with everything. He was also great after my home purchase, checking in and following up with all kinds of help and advice. Trevor comes highly recommended!
